Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: Alas, my Lords, I have not yet been invited to a Cabinet meeting. I am reliably informed by my noble and learned friend the Leader of the House that smoking does not take place there.
Baroness Noakes asked Her Majesty's Government:
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: My Lords, the definition of a "bed" is published in the NHS Information Authority data dictionary. The definition is used to aid statistical returns. No recent change has been made in the definition.
Baroness Noakes: My Lords, I thank the Minister for that reply. Will he confirm that, in NHS-speak, a "bed" can be a trolley or even a chair? On 20th November 2002, he said that,
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: My Lords, the definition of a bed is the same today as it was when the previous government published it in 1992, when the NHS data dictionary was developed. As for the broad definition, to be a bed, the main purpose must be to allow patients to lie down for rest or recovery. Beds, trolleys, couches and chairs used for treatments are not counted as beds. The noble Baroness was also quite wrong on actual
Baroness Gardner of Parkes: My Lords, will the Minister explain the statement in the newspaper this week that hospitals will no longer be allowed to rename corridors as wards? Is there a general renaming process going on or being resisted within the department?
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: My Lords, not at all. For statistical purposes and for the purposes of accurate returns regarding our accountability to Parliament, it is important that NHS organisations have a consistent approach in reporting their statistics. We clarified the point that the noble Baroness raises in order to ensure clarity and consistency of reporting. Our aim was to stop hospitals calling patients to say that they were admitted if they were not admitted to what could be described as a ward area. It was a case of tightening up the reporting criteria.
Lord Walton of Detchant: My Lords, accepting the definition of a bed which the noble Lord has given, can he explain why it is that three hospitals recently built under the private finance initiative, Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle, the University Hospital of North Durham and Bishop Auckland General Hospital, have many fewer beds than the hospitals they replaced?
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: My Lords, overall the number of beds in general and acute categories is increasing. The number of beds in individual hospitals is decided before it is decided under which route they should be financed. Therefore, it would be wrong for my noble friend to draw a conclusion that PFI hospital schemes are by themselves leading to a reduction in bed numbers. We aim to increase the number of beds. We are doing that. In the past two years we have seen the first increase in the number of general and acute beds for many, many years. We are also increasing the number of day care beds. We are expanding the NHS, not contracting it.
Lord Clement-Jones: My Lords, the issue of beds and their definition arose in the context of whether or not the Government have achieved their targets on the elimination of mixed sex-wards. Have the Government eliminated those wards? Have they achieved the targets that they have set out on many occasions and which have slipped over the past few years?
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: My Lords, 95 per cent of NHS trusts meet the additional criteria set for mental health facilities; 98 per cent of NHS trusts provide single-sex sleeping accommodation for planned admissions; 93 per cent of NHS trusts provide properly segregated bathroom and toilet facilities for men and women; and
Lord Roberts of Conwy: My Lords, the noble Lord referred to the increase in the number of beds. Can he say what the increase has been in the occupancy rate?
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: My Lords, the latest occupancy rate that I have for general and acute beds is 86 per cent in the year 200001. Some believe that the rate should come down. In guidance on emergency care the figure of 82 per cent is indicated as a reasonable figure. Clearly, we shall keep that under review.
Baroness Strange: My Lords, can the Minister tell us whether a bed has to have four feet flat on the floor or whether it can have wheels?
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: My Lords, beds can have wheels as that makes them easier to move. I am tempted to read to noble Lords the definition of a bed in the NHS data dictionary. However, I am conscious that some noble Lords wish to speak on other matters this afternoon. Therefore, I shall desist.
Earl Howe: My Lords, is it not the case that a trolley need not in some circumstances be a trolley in an accident and emergency department and that a trolley can, indeed, be a bed in a day care unit? Is it not true that a trolley can in fact mean anything that the NHS decides that it means?
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: My Lords, the noble Earl is being a little unfair to the National Health Service. The whole point of having a bed definition is to achieve clarity and consistency of reporting. Beds in day units are counted separately from beds in the general and acute categories. Clearly, in a day unit a patient may have pre-assessment, treatment, and post-operative recovery in the same bed. That is why such beds are categorised separately. I make it clear that trolleys in A&E departments are not defined as beds and nor are trolleys in treatment rooms and wards.
Lord Grocott: My Lords, before my noble friend Lady Amos repeats the Statement made in another place on the UN: Terrorism and Iraq, I wish to say a few words about the debate on Lords reform. I emphasise that I am only too well aware that it is not a timed debate. I simply report the arithmetic to the House. I hope that that is helpful.
There are 99 speakers on the speakers' list for the two-day debate. The tireless staff in the Whips' Office have worked out the arithmetic. If speeches, apart from those of the noble and learned Lord, Lord Howe of Aberavon, and of those who will wind-up the debate, were to last about 10 minutes, today's debate
Lord Elton: My Lords, will the noble Lord the Chief Whip tell us what would be the effect on the arithmetic if noble Lords' speeches averaged eight rather than 10 minutes?
Lord Grocott: My Lords, I am glad that I was asked that question. If speeches were restricted to eight minutes, the House would rise at 11.15 p.m. this evening and 10 p.m. tomorrow. I shall answer further questions on the arithmetic if any noble Lord wishes to ask them.
Lady Saltoun of Abernethy: My Lords, does the estimate of rising at 1 a.m. take the Statement into account?
Lord Grocott: Yes, my Lords, it does.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Amos): My Lords, with the leave of the House, I should like to repeat a Statement made in another place by my right honourable friend the Foreign Secretary. The Statement is as follows:
"The focus of the Council's meeting was the work of its Counter-Terrorism Committee, established by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373. This resolution was passed in the wake of the 11th September atrocity and for the first time imposed a legal obligation on all countries to end safe havens for terrorists and to stop terrorist financing. The committee has been chaired by our own Ambassador to the UN, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, who yesterday received many tributes for his work. I know that the House will want to endorse those tributes which were fully deserved.
"Under the committee's programme, each country's progress in countering terrorism is actively being scrutinised. Where necessary, the committee is helping countries to improve their capacity to deal with terrorism.
"As we heard yesterday in New York, the vast majority of governmentsabout 180are complying with the new obligations on them. But twoLiberia
"Yesterday's meeting then discussed and unanimously agreed a new resolution on terrorism. The key elements include: the adoption of new measures to improve and reinforce the work of the counter-terrorism committee; a recognition that the fight against terrorism has to be linked to international action against the proliferation of conventional arms and weapons of mass destruction; and agreement that our struggle against terrorism is not biased against any religion, including Islam. People of all faiths and cultures have been the innocent victims of terrorist attacks, and people of every faith have a common interest in countering the global threat.
"In adopting the resolution, the Security Council recognised the dangerous connection between the terrorists who respect no rules, and rogue states who know no rules either. It is the leaders of such rogue states who set a deadly example and, through their illegal programmes to develop chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, provide a tempting arsenal for terrorists.
"Eight years ago, the world woke up to the nexus between terrorism and weapons of mass destruction when a sarin gas attack inflicted thousands of casualties in Tokyo. Since then, there has been abundant evidence that Al'Qaeda is a terrorist organisation trying to acquire and develop substances just as lethal, if not more so. There can be no doubt that Al'Qaeda would use them if it could.
"There are some who argue that the issue of proliferation is an unwelcome distraction from the campaign against terrorism. That view is profoundly misplaced. The global trade in technology related to weapons of mass destruction has never been more dangerous. North Korean missile exports undermine security in the Middle East. Illegal Iraqi imports of weapons-related technology flout UN sanctions, and are rearming a regime which has previously shown no restraint in using mustard gas and nerve agent to murder thousands of its own. It would be wildly irresponsible to assume that we can turn a blind eye to that trade on the presumption that lethal materials will not ultimately fall into the hands of terrorists. In today's climate, no responsible government could take such a risk with their citizens' lives.
"The two greatest threats facing Britain and its citizens in the next decade are terrorists and rogue states with weapons of mass destruction. The most dangerous terrorist organisation is Al'Qaeda. The most aggressive rogue state is Iraq.
"Since the adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 in November, the choice for the Iraqi regime has been clear: resolve the 12-year stand-off with the United Nations peacefully through full co-operation with weapons inspectors; or face disarmament by force.
"Typically, Saddam Hussein's response so far has been characterised much more by deceit and delay than any interest in a peaceful outcome. The initial Iraqi declaration of WMD holdings, submitted to the United Nations on 7th December, contained stark omissions. Not least was its failure to explain what had happened to the large quantities of chemical and biological weapons material unaccounted for by UN inspectors in 1998, as set out in a report to the United Nations of more than 200 pages by UNSCOM in February 1999.
"Last week, United Nations inspectors discovered 12 chemical warheads, and a large quantity of hidden documents relating to a possible nuclear weapons programme, found within the area of a private house. Neither of those finds had been declared. Dr Hans Blix and Dr Mohammed El Baradei used their visit to Baghdad last weekend to set out their concerns about the lack of Iraqi co-operation, and to remind the regime of the 'serious consequences' of failure to abide by the terms of Security Council Resolution 1441.
"Next Monday, Dr Blix and Dr El Baradei will submit their progress report on the inspection process to the Security Council. I plainly cannot anticipate that report, but two things are clear. First, the international community must maintain the pressure on Saddam Hussein to end his games of hide and seek. Secondly, Iraq must provide fully active and positive compliance with all its international obligations. As my right honourable friend the Defence Secretary reminded the House yesterday in announcing further troop deployments to the Gulf, the lesson of the past four months is that diplomatic pressure will have no effect without the visible and credible threat of force.
"The terrorist threat to Britain and our citizens is real. My right honourable friend the Home Secretary is co-ordinating the most comprehensive security response our country has seen for many years.
"Our country can never become an island of security in the face of the global dangers of terrorism and rogue states. Just as we should redouble our efforts to enforce the law at home, so our interests demand that we are at the forefront of enforcing the law overseas.
"For too long, Iraq has flouted international legal obligations to disarm and has laughed in the face of the United Nations. Saddam still has a choice to comply. I hope very much that he does. But if he does not, those who are serious about a commitment to a global community based on the rule of law and the UN cannot afford to shrink from the challenge posed by Iraq".
Lord Howell of Guildford: My Lords, I am sure that all noble Lords will be grateful to the noble Baroness for repeating the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary's Statement. Let me say straightaway that we welcome the new resolution on terrorism, and endorse all that has been said about the excellent work of Sir Jeremy Greenstock at the United Nations. I gladly reiterate our support for a credible and visible
I am afraid that I have much less support to offer the Government when it comes to their and the Prime Minister's efforts to convince the public of the rightness of their cause. The opinion polls confirm that they are obviously not doing very well in those efforts, although we should never be guided by those and should seek to shape opinion. All along the Opposition have argued that, in presenting the case for force, if necessary, there was first an imperative need to identify clearly the British direct interests in ridding Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. Secondly, there was a need to convince people that attacking Iraq would make the world a safer place. Thirdly, it needs to be shown that Iraq and global terrorism are linked and feed off each other, and that Saddam Hussein is a lead contractor of terror. Fourthly, there is a need to show that the Iraq issue, far from distracting us from Palestine and other matters as some noble Lords understandably fear, opens the way for a Palestine settlement.
I happen to believe in the validity of all those propositions, but my belief does not derive from the words of Her Majesty's Government or the utterances made by the Prime Minister and others. On the contrary, until recently the Government repeatedly assured us that Iraq had nothing to do with global terrorism or the Al'Qaeda organisation. Actually, it is not an organisation at all; it is a movement, to which any fanatic in Kilburn or elsewhere can sign up.
What will the Government do to present a much more convincing case? We have heard many generalities about rogue states and terrorism, but they are frankly not enough. Are some killer facts about to be discovered by Mr Blix and his inspector colleagues, presumably with the guidance and help of the intelligence agencies? Is that the news to come? Is it judged that Saddam is already in material breach of paragraph 4 of Resolution 1441, with his unfortunate forgetfulness over chemical warhead containers?
What do the Government have to say about our EU partners such as France, whose Foreign Minister was reported this morning as saying:
I also refer to the even more outspoken view from Germany, which wants nothing to do with the threat of force and will not support any second resolution that is called for.
We are at a critical moment. If action is about to begin, we must know not only the full justification for warthat is essentialbut also what is planned thereafter. Our American allies are being increasingly explicit about their plans to rid us of Saddam. They want regime change and to build a liberated Iraq in a transformed Middle East. While reiterating our support for the strategy, we are entitled at this stage at least to ask: what is the British contribution to this thinking, and is that our objective as well? We really are entitled to know.
Lord Wallace of Saltaire: My Lords, in thanking the Minister for the Statement, I begin by pointing out that the Foreign Secretary's speech was not in the Library of this House when I asked for it 10 minutes before the Statement was delivered. I am grateful to the Library for finding me a copy on the Internet and for finding copies of other speeches made in the Security Council.
From these Benches, I express our acute disappointment at the Statement and the Foreign Secretary's speech in the Security Councilparts of it were illogical and ill founded. This meeting involved a review of the counter-terrorism committee, and did not deal with Iraq. As the Foreign Secretary has admitted several times, no evidence is yet available of a link between the Iraqi regime and Al'Qaeda. Perhaps the Minister can tell us whether some has arrived in the past few minutes. So far as we know, nothing has yet been discovered.
The Statement referred to the group that used sarin gas in Tokyo. That group had no connections with any sponsoring state. Terrorism is a wider phenomenon that is fed by ideological anti-modernism, political and religious fundamentalism and fears and anxieties that are projected on to outside powers. Counter-terrorism therefore requires a wide strategy that deals with the roots of those fears and anxieties, and does not feed them by action against states that is not fully justified by the legal approval of the international community.
In relation to rogue states, we should consider the fact that there are other states that perhaps appear to have a larger role in sponsoring intervention and interference in the affairs of other states; I refer to Libya, for example, and the apparent activities that it is sponsoring across west Africa. That is a much clearer case than either Iraq or North Korea.
I was rather shocked by the extent to which the Foreign Secretary used the term "rogue state" in his speech. I remind the Minister that the concept of a rogue state was invented by Colin Powell when he was chief of the American general staff as a justification in 199091 for maintaining a high level of conventional military spending and forces in the United States by identifying Iraq, Libya, Iran and Korea as threats that could be matched by conventional means. I also remind the Minister and Members of this House that weapons of mass destruction are not dependent on sponsoring states for their proliferation. As we have recently discovered in this country, it is possible to begin to make biological weapons of mass destruction in backstairs kitchens in London using instructions that one can get off the Internet.
On Iraq, the reference in the Foreign Secretary's speech to the failure of diplomatic means and to our patience running out would have been better made by President Bush than by our own Foreign Secretary; it is President Bush's patience that is running out. Diplomatic means have not yet failed in Iraq and they are being used, so far as we can see, relatively successfully in North Korea. There must be time for the inspectors to do their work. There are two aspects
I have read other speeches from yesterday's Security Council debate. Unlike the noble Lord, Lord Howell, I found a good deal of sense in what the German Foreign Minister and the French Foreign Minister said. Joschka Fischer said:
Baroness Amos: My Lords, I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Howell, that it is important that we work to shape public opinion; that is exactly what the Government have been doing. I do not agree with him that we have not made the case. There is a serious debate going on in this country and our citizens have expressed some concerns. That debate must continue and the Government will play their part in that.
The noble Lord referred to the importance of dealing with the issues in the Middle East peace process. Again, the Government have been actively involved in those discussions. As the noble Lord will know, there was a recent conference, chaired by my right honourable friend the Foreign Secretary, looking at the issue of Palestinian reform. We will continue to remain engaged.
It is important to clarify the position with respect to the points made by the noble Lords, Lord Howell and Lord Wallace of Saltaire, about the link between Iraq and terrorism. My right honourable friend the Foreign Secretary made it absolutely clear that we have no evidence to link Iraq with Al'Qaeda in the run-up to 11th September. However, there are clear links between Iraq and terrorismthere are many examples of that. It is important for that distinction to be well understood. On the emergence of any "killer facts" from Hans Blix and his team, we should await the outcome of the report of the inspectors to the Security Council, which will happen on Monday.
The noble Lord, Lord Howell, asked whether we thought that Iraq was already in material breach. UN Security Council Resolution 1441 contains two elements, the first of which is failure in terms of disclosure. We already have some evidence that Iraq has failed in that regard. The second element is failure to comply with the obligations of the resolution. It remains to be seen whether Iraq has failed with respect to the second element.
The noble Lord, Lord Howell, also asked about our EU partners and referred to Germany and France in particular. France is a member of the Security Council and is fully supportive of the UN resolution.
On the humanitarian situation, noble Lords will know that we have given a considerable amount to Iraq in terms of humanitarian assistance. My right honourable friend the Foreign Secretary had discussions with the UN Secretary-General yesterday about humanitarian assistance; such discussions will continue. I again make it absolutely clear to the House that our policy priority is disarmament with respect to weapons of mass destruction.
The noble Lord, Lord Wallace of Saltaire, raised the importance of giving the inspectors time to do their work. We have made it absolutely clear that the report that we will receive on Monday is part of a process. That report will be made to the Security Council and the Security Council will assess it and make a decision about the next steps. I cannot agree with the noble Lord, Lord Wallace of Saltaire, that dealing with Iraq is a distraction. That country has consistently flouted UN Security Council resolutions. It must be dealt with if the will of the UN is to prevail.
Lord Carrington: My Lords, if nothing more incriminating is discovered by the inspectors by 27th January, which, I understand, is the important date, will the Government wish the inspectors to continue or not?

POST Requirements
California Penal Code Section 830.6 gives local agencies the authority to appoint reserve officers. All law enforcement operations in the State of California are governed by the Commission on Police Officer Standards and Training (POST). Accordingly, POST has defined and sought legislation regarding reserve peace officers. Presently (effective July 1, 1999), there are three basic levels of reserve officers. Accordingly, a new series of reserve academy courses titled Modules I, II, and III have been introduced. These standards are taught through community colleges and academies such as the Martinez Regional Criminal Justice Training Center, South Bay Regional Public Safety Training Consortium, Santa Rosa Junior College Police Academy, and the College of San Mateo Police Academy. Most of the reserve academies offer courses in evening and weekend formats.
Based upon satisfactory completion of the specific reserve academy modules, reserve officers may be appointed as one of four different levels of reserve peace officer. The four levels are as follows:
Designated Level I
Level I reserve officers may work alone and perform the same duties as a regular officer. Designated Level I's is the only reserve status which has the same 24 hour a day authority as a regular officer, all other reserve levels have peace officer powers only while working. They must hold a Basic Certificate (from a standard police academy) or its equivalency (modular format academy- minimum of 727 hours combined). Successful completion of Reserve Academy Modules I, II, and III is the equivalency of the Basic Course.
Non-Designated Level I
Non-designated Level I reserve officers may work alone and perform the same duties as a regular officer. They must graduate from a Basic Course or its equivalency (modular format academy). As mentioned above, the primary difference between Designated and Non-designated Level I reserve officers is that Designated Level I reserve officers are granted peace officer authority 24 hours a day (just like regular officers) while Non-designated Level I reserve officers only have peace officer authority while on duty.
Click here to see the list of learning domains for Level I
Level II
Level II reserve officers may perform general law enforcement tasks when working with another officer possessing a Basic Peace Officer Certificate. They must graduate from Reserve Training Modules II and III (minimum of 333 hours combined) plus they must be in a continuous field training program when performing general law enforcement tasks.
Click here to see the list of learning domains for Level II
Level III
Level III reserve officers are deployed and authorized only to carry out limited duties not requiring general law enforcement powers in the routine performance. They must graduate from Reserve Training Module III (minimum of 144 hours).

The City of Walnut Creek has not enacted an ordinance which allows for a Designated Level I reserve officer. Currently, the highest level achievable by a reserve officer in Walnut Creek is Non-Designated Level I.

A quick chat with Karishma Mehta, author of the new coffee table read
Karishma Mehta may have mastered the art of speaking to strangers, but she is unlikely to oblige if the tables were turned. "I'm extremely shy and I don't like being in front of the camera," says the 24-year-old street photographer and city chronicler who started Humans of Bombay in January 2014. "I love being the point of contact between someone who tells a story and one who likes to listen."
Inspired by Brandon Stanton's widely shared photo blog, Humans of New York, Mehta's Humans of Bombay, with over 5.8 lakh followers, offers an insightful view of Mumbai through a people-led photo series.
And, just like Stanton, Mehta has now launched a coffee table photo book of her work. "I knew I wanted to publish a book, and it was my friend Arjun (Vaidya, publisher of the book) who pushed me to do this."
A firm believer in "every one has a story," Mehta, a self-taught photographer, is known for sharing vignettes of everyday life in Mumbai. The 360-page book, which she has been working on for over a year, features 100 never-seen-before images, besides popular gems that chronicle everyone from a nonagenarian couple's ultimate love story to a philanthropic cab driver's life. Mehta talks to Vogue about putting together this book:
Who was the first person you approached? I was at Marine Drive, and I saw this small kid all dressed up. It would make for a great image, but the parents refused my plea to photograph. In fact, initially nine people said no to me when I approached them. The tenth person who agreed was a nariyal pani seller, and she spoke to me for 30 minutes. I loved talking to her, and just watching her open up.
The story that moved you the most? I spoke to a woman who shared with me an intimate story of her time in an abusive relationship and how she got out of it. Over time, we have become great friends. And back then she offered one of the best advice—don't rush into a marriage.
An area you often visit for the wealth of stories it offers? Dharavi—it's booming with stories. I was apprehensive at first, then I went there and was blown away by the warmth of the people and their hospitality.
The most important life lesson Humans of Bombay has taught you? The whole journey for me has been about following my passion. I was a business and economics major, and not a trained photojournalist. So I believe that if you follow your passion, things will come to you. It's just a feeling I started with—holding on to my passion—and it's something that has been validated after meeting all these people.
The furthest this blog has taken you in Mumbai? For now, Borivali, but I do plan to explore more. One of the biggest complaints I get is that I don't cover Mulund or Vashi, so that is something I plan to do soon, though logistics can be a little difficult because I write each and every story on this page.
How do you decide who makes it to the book or the blog? I feel that every person has a story. In fact, every person I've shot till date has been part of my series or the book. Over the years, I've mastered this art of extracting stories. In Mumbai, people are always in a rush, so typically they don't speak longer than two-three minutes, but sometimes conversations get intense and go on for 45 minutes. Some can even be emotionally draining for the speaker and listener. So I start my conversations with "Hi, can I talk to you for two minutes?" and listen without judgment, hoping they open up and find it comforting.
Humans of Bombay is available here for Rs 1,650

Margy got the idea from here. They looked easy enough to make so I thought I'd have a go at making some.
Firstly pick out two cotton fabrics or recycle some old jeans if you like.
For the outside fabric cut out a rectangle measuring 5 1/2 inches x 6 1/2 inches (sorry, my brain still thinks in inches).
Cut a second rectangle measuring 5 1/2 inches x 7 1/2 inches for the lining. Please note that this fabric will be seen on the edges of the opening so choose a fabric that looks good with what you have chosen for the outside.
After getting this far, I noticed that my cover didn't have 1/4 inch of the lining fabric showing....more like 1/8 inch. I am straight line challenged so just thought I must have made a mistake when sewing the seam but when I was typing out the measurements just now I realised that I had measured 7 inches instead of 7 1/2 inches! Duh! Anyway, let's press on.....

Varsity season is once again upon us. While the final contest, the Ice Hockey showdown, is widely considered to be the biggest event, football is also a big part of the games, with four points up for grabs on Wednesday 22nd March. Football, then, will go a long way to deciding who wins this year's Varsity.
With that said, here's a handy guide to help you work out which is the Sheffield football team for you, should you go on to develop an appetite for regular match-going. Luckily, you're spoilt for choice in Sheffield: the city boasts two professional clubs, as well as smaller semi-pro and amateur teams with amazing histories. Continue reading

Cairn India chief executive Sudhir Mathur has resigned from the company, the fourth CEO to quit the firm since it was taken over by mining billionaire Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta Group seven years back
Cairn India chief executive Sudhir Mathur has resigned from the company, the fourth CEO to quit the firm since it was taken over by mining billionaire Anil Agarwal-led Vedanta Group seven years back.
Along with Mathur, Pankaj Kalra, the chief financial officer of Cairn India, which is now a part of Vedanta Ltd after its merger with the parent, has also resigned, sources privy to the development said.
Mathur resigned about a month back and his resignation was made public only last week, the sources said. He is currently serving notice period which is technically up to May-end, but may leave the company by the end of April.Kalra quit a couple of months back.
Prior to these resignations, Suniti Bhat, Director Oil & Gas and Member Executive Committee at the company, resigned about six months back which was followed by the firm's chief internal audit and risk assurance director Arup Chakraborty quitting the company.
A company spokesperson confirming the resignations said: "Such movements in management are part of natural evolution in any organization, and are in line with career aspirations and personal priorities of individuals.
"Having a strong and healthy leadership pipeline is the key in a high growth organisation like ours. We want to emphasise here that these movements are unconnected and have been spread over a period of time." Mathur did not answer phone calls made to seek his comments.
Mathur, 58, joined Cairn India in January 2013 and was named interim CEO when Mayank Ashar resigned as the chief executive of the company in May 2016.
He continued as interim CEO till the time Cairn India remained a separate listed company under Vedanta Ltd. He was elevated as chief executive officer of oil and gas business at Vedanta Ltd last year when Cairn India was merged with its parent Vedanta Ltd.
Sources said the company has named Ajay Dixit, who was CEO of aluminum and power divisions of Vedanta, to take over from Mathur in the interim period after his exit.

Mossberg's Mailbox
Is There a Tool to Help Send Large Files Over the Internet?
There's no other major item most of us own that is as confusing, unpredictable and unreliable as our personal computers. Everybody has questions about them, and we aim to help.
Here are a few questions about computers I've received recently from people like you, and my answers. I have edited and restated the questions a bit, for readability. This week my mailbox contained questions about sending large files over the Internet, buying a combo PDA/cellphone, and sharing music on the same local area network.
Did you review a tool that would make it easier to send large files over the Internet? What was it?
Yes. It's called Pando, and is a free download at www.pando.com. But there's an even simpler service, which works right from within a Web browser and doesn't require the download or installation of any software. It's called YouSendIt and is at yousendit.com. Both work on the same general principle: Instead of emailing a huge file, you upload it to these services. They then send an email to your intended recipient that merely contains a link or tiny special attachment. When the recipient clicks on the link or special attachment, the file is downloaded to his or her computer, without having passed through his or her email inbox. Both services have free versions, and also paid versions which offer greater capacity and other features.
My Handspring Visor has expired. Since I have also have a vintage Nokia cellphone, would you recommend a combo PDA/cellphone with "useable" keyboard or should I buy a distinct replacement PDA and cellphone?
It all depends on your budget, and your tolerance for carrying two devices. But the stand-alone PDA is fading, and is harder and harder to find. If you bought a Palm Treo phone that uses the Palm operating system, such as the $199 Treo 680, you'd have a decent phone with a built-in PDA that works very much like your Visor, only with more speed and added features. On the other hand, if you'd like a change, there are many Windows Mobile phone/PDA combo devices that can cost even less, like the Samsung Blackjack.
If you're content to keep the Nokia for phone calls, Palm still makes some standalone PDAs which work pretty much like your Visor, only better — like the $99 Z22.
I read your article on using iTunes to share music with others on the same local area network. Must both computers be turned on in order for this to work?

Back in the day, the market was content with a 61 Fibonacci Retracement.
Starting around 2009, the market started insisting on 78 Fibo's. Now seeing more 100% Fibos to blast the stop of anyone who got in on a trend change.
The leader indices, Nasdaq and Russell (or maybe we should say the exuberant indicator indices) both show clear overthrows of the channel out of the 2008/2009 bottoms.
Confirmation of an at least near term trend change. Expect a "shakeout" drop of AT LEAST 8% prior to Santa Rally.

As i mentioned in another post (iPhone vs. the Basement Battalion), our decreasing faith in Flash development has lead us to investigate the iPhone. Our experiments in self-publishing our own Flash games (chronicled in our ongoing and depressing Pimp My Game series) have shown that there's too much free content online to reasonably compete. The pricing models for Flash games are between $10-20 for a trial-based game, and zero dollars for most others. There's a vast no-man's-land in between. i've never seen a Flash game available online for between $0.99 and $9.99. It could exist – i've just never seen it.
So there's a real need to fill in that pricing gap – the gap between "too much game" (i'm not likely to stick with Mystery Case Files long enough to get my ten dollars worth) and "not enough game" (the average length of time i'll spend on a free online Flash game is two and a half seconds).
Ok, so i'm supposed to match three of the … LOOK! A DISTRACTINGLY SHINY OBJECT!
The (cr)App Store
The iPhone App Store fills in that gap admirably. While you still have a glut of free, mostly poor-quality games and apps, there's a spectrum of higher-quality entertainment up for grabs between that $0.99-$9.99 range. More than ten dollars for an iPhone game is largely unheard of. But there's a lot of debate currently raging among developers about what some are calling the "race to 99 cents". They're accusing most developers of devaluing their work, or gaming the system to get more attention for their app, forcing everyone else in turn to keep cutting the price of their apps until everything levels out at 99 cents, the lowest possible price to charge for content on the App Store.
- Craig Hockenberry's open boo-hoo letter to Steve Jobs
- appcubby – Financial Realities of the App Store
- Apple 2.0 – Trouble in the (99 cent) App Store
- TUAW – Developers! Join the App Store Movement
Lengthy discussion follows many of these posts. And it was in reading these discussions that i formed my first impression of these strange beings, these "Mac people", who i have been avoiding for so long.
i actually identify better with the witty fat guy than the arrogant, catty guy
Once Bitten, Mac Shy
i am a PC person. i've owned PCs for most of my life. i worked in a PC-only dev shop for over seven years. Every machine i've owned since i was 10 has been a PC. Because at 10 years old, i owned an Amiga.
The Amiga systems were better than the x86 PCs of the time. They were better for artists and musicians. They had better music and video capabilities. Images, animations and movies all played better on Amiga systems. Sounds like a certain fruit-branded platform we know today, doesn't it?
The Amiga 500. It's for artsy folks.
The problem with the Amiga platform is that everybody bought PCs, and the Amiga became more and more niche, until eventually all the hot software came out for IBM PCs and "clones", and Amiga owners were left to seek each other out in weird underground support/software swap groups that met in the catacombs beneath ancient churches. i hear they had their own secret handshake and blood rites.
It was a lot like the BETAMax/VHS battle before it – you can argue til you're fit to pop about which technology is best, and there may even be a clear winner … but the only thing that matters is what the majority of people buy. After i sunk $1000 into my Amiga 500 to buy a hard drive with a few MB of space on it, i saw the platform die a painful death soon after. Since then, i decided never to go with the "better" product, but always to side with the masses. Sometimes it hurts to be practical.
Yo Mama Uses a Mac
Sure, i make cracks about Macs just like the next non-Mac-owning guy. "i'm getting a Mac." "Oh? i could've sworn you were straight", and "Mac is so intuitive! To eject a disk – just drag the icon into the TRASH CAN", etc etc. i bought into the stereotypes that 1. Macs were for creative (read:gay) people, and 2. that despite the company's claims that the platform was super-easy to use, it wasn't.
Well, it turns out i was actually right on both accounts. i started watching the developer videos for the iPhone SDK, and the parade of "creative" types reminded me of my stint in community theatre. Mac definitely, definitely attracts more gay dudes. As Seinfeld would say, "not that there's anything wrong with that."
My Mac is also nowhere near as easy to use as Apple would have us neophytes believe. You don't have to spend much time with Xcode, Interface Builder, Keychain, and the iPhone Simulator before your screen is an absolute zoo of windows, modules and toolbars. Not only are the modules not integrated into a single system – within each module, there's a laundry list of pallettes that float on your desktop and don't reliably dock to anything, making it completely confusing to understand which program you're actually working in. Of course, this is just my experience with Xcode, which is free – i haven't tried any other Apple software, so i'm willing to reserve judgment.
If someone will tell me the Mac equivalent of the Windows-M "minimize all" command, i will marry your ugly cousin and paint your front porch
Impeccable Attention to Not Bursting into Flames
Where i've been really impressed with my Mac experience is in the hardware department. i have a MacBook – an older model, white Apple laptop – that cost me around $1200 CDN after i bullied FutureShop into matching BestBuy's Boxing Week price. (Pro tip: they really back down on the warranty they try to sell you when you open up a web browser in their computer department and surf over to the pages and pages of Futureshop bashing on EhMac.ca).
My first laptop, my only laptop, is a beastly Dell XPS that i used $3k in corporate bursary money to purchase. It dents easily, and plaques and stickers are always falling off of it. It comes armed to the teeth with Dell bloatware, and it heats up to searing, kill-a-baby temperatures. It's not a good machine at all, despite what CNet reviews would have you believe. (After buying some Dell monitors based on CNet reviews, i slowly came to the realization that Dell must sponsor reviews on the CNet site. i have since sworn off Dell altogether.)
My Dell XPS after seven minutes of operation. The "X" stands for "scorching bonfire".
Dell must have done their marketing correctly, because people all over the place ask me how i like the XPS laptop – even when they can't see the logo on the back of it, which mystifies me. It's weird. It's kind of like having this disease, and everyone oohs and aahs over it. "Oooh – the mumps! i've heard good things! How do you like them?"
Meanwhile, the MacBook is quiet and happy. The battery life is generous, and seems to outperform the XPS battery by a longshot. It coos at me when i start it up, and it's gently stroking my thigh as i write this blog post. Something's a little fishy about that last feature, but i'll let it slide.
Drink the Apple-Flavoured Kool-Aid
One of Apple's slogans is "Think Different", and my early iPhone development experience has been just that – different. There's definitely a different class of people posting on those message boards i posted above. They're smarter. It's obvious. These folks are a far cry from the teenagers hacking Flash and tossing out a mountain of free content from their moms' basements – the Basement Battalion. The Flash community has its champions, but by and large, there's a lot of desperate-seeming "me-tooism" and people doing their very best to learn Flash Actionscript so they can launch their sequel to Booby-Shooter 5000 on AddictingGames.com.
i dunno. Maybe i haven't been around the Apple dev community long enough to have discovered the dregs. But i will say that through all of the Apple dev boards i've read, there seems to be this weird devotion to Apple. It unnerves me a little … "Apple" is spoken of with reverence, as if the devs are talking about a benevolent father figure instead of a corporation, who scolds them when they misbehave and who rewards them with technological goodies when they are nice. It's a teensy bit Big Brother-ish, from an outsider's perspective. A little cultish. i hope i don't end up dead in a cot somewhere wearing new Reeboks with a mouthful of Kool-Aid in a bid to join Steve Jobs at the mothership.
Well … if the mothership is taking me to a planet where the market is crazy for independent games, and small shops are praised as a guiding light in interactive entertainment, i might just take a tiny sip.

Where is wind power developing, and where does it have the brightest future?
Every month, we analyse the latest available statistics on wind installations from around the world and measure them against information held in the Windpower Intelligence database of operating and planned wind farms.
The resulting table, right, gives a monthly update on the cumulative and recent wind-power capacity delivering power to the grid, in every country that has more than 100MW installed. We have also included all the North American states/provinces with more than 100MW installed.
Feelgood Factor
Windpower Monthly's five-star Feelgood Factor on all the countries with more than 100MW installed, and the biggest North American states, indicates the prospects for near-term growth in wind power generation. The rating is based on a combination of the four key defining factors:
Projects under development;
Political and policy support;
Investor confidence; and
Structural readiness of the country, in terms of grid infrastructure, permitting process and local supply-chain considerations.
The final rating is an amalgam of all these factors. Further details on the key markets are published in the annual Market Status Report. Click image below, or link to our interactive data tables

9 Reasons You'd Go for Professional Essay Writers
Student consider essay writing more challenging than to participate in a football match. It is not because they are not good in studies. Even intelligent students are seen to take help from external resources.
Why do students need online professional essay writers to prepare good quality essays? Here are 9 good reasons why students should prefer web-based services such as homework-help essay writing. What you don't have, you'll get from them.
1. Time
They do not have ample amount of time to concentrate thoroughly on the topic. They have busy schedules and different tasks to perform each day which make them uncomfortable to write well researched essay. Due to this, majority of students seek essay writing help.
2. Composition
In addition to this, they also face difficulty to find the write words to describe events and processes, making essay look incomplete. In order to make their essays more appropriate and readable they tend to find professional help.
3. Written Grammar
Most of the students write proper grammar and make mistakes. Improper grammar usage is considered to make essays unauthentic. At times, depending upon their significance, essays are rejected due to poor grammar.
4. Standard Formatting
Students also have to face problems developing their essays in specific writing styles. Therefore, they find help from professional essay writers online USA to create standardized writing scripts.
5. Comprehension
Students have many online resources where they can copy material and rephrase information. However, most of them find difficulty to rewrite them from top to bottom leaving essays plagiarized. There are not enough resources to properly do away with plagiarism which is why they seek external help.
6. Variety of Topics
While essays are written on almost every walk of life, at times, it is not easy for students to express their thoughts and get authentic information for certain topics of high sensitivity.
7. Presentation
It is equally important to make writing pieces presentable with pictorials and illustrations where description pertains with complex information. People tend to avoid reading long sentences as they tend to lose concentration and develop their understanding in the middle. Graphical representation is therefore more helpful to minimize complexity and bring more objectivity into written material.
8. Completeness
Even if they manage to find suitable information according to the topic, they are unsure whether written essay provides complete enough information or not. In this case, external aid is inevitable to acquire.
9. Referencing
Professional essays are always backed by references to support assumptions on which they are based and written. References need to cover the topic completely, to stamp the authenticity of information mentioned in essay. Expert advice and assistance is therefore required to rectify element of doubt with respect to completeness of essays.
Online essay writing services are well equipped to take care of each of the above issues which are normally faced by school and college level students. They have the required tools and resources to create well researched essays according to specified standards. Online writing services are efficient to meet deadlines and provide easy and secure payment options.

An unidentified Wisconsin man was killed at the 4500 block of West Loomis Road in Greenfield. The identity of the 54-year-old man was not released pending notification of his death to his family. The Greenfield Police have indicated that the pedestrian victim of this auto accident is from South Milwaukee.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene after being struck by a Cadillac Escalade operated by a 31-year-old woman headed northeast. The man was walking in a southwesterly direction near the curb of the road. Another motorist told a local radio station that he saw the man walking just before he was hit by the Cadillac. Police do not believe that alcohol or drugs were a factor in the accident.
The Greenfield Police have asked the Wisconsin State Patrol to assist with the investigation of the accident. It is unknown at this time whether any charges will be filed against the driver. Once the victim's family has been notified, the driver of the Cadillac may find herself facing a wrongful death action, regardless of what action is taken by authorities.
The family of the victim of this accident retains the right to file a wrongful death action against the party or parties deemed to have negligently caused his death. In order to prevail in a wrongful death action, the family must prove that the party or parties identified as having been the cause of their loved one's death was negligent in causing or contributing to the fatal accident. If this man's family is able to prove that the driver of the Cadillac is legally responsible for his death, a civil court may award the family monetary damages for expenses they incurred as a result of his death, along with other damages allowed under our state laws.

Sticky Chai is handmade by two tea-lovin' chaps who like to pass the time crafting delights from scratch in the kitchen. We passionately blend luxurious teas, loads of spice and raw honey, so you get all natural, and no funny business!
It all started off one July inside an old stable in the foothills of the Blue Mountains where we perfected our Sticky Chai between long discussions about the what ifs, the why nots and perennial attempts to revive old japanese cycles.
Now, a year or so on, we have made our way to the Inner West where we have built a tea den in the depths of an old brick factory. In addition to the new Sticky Chai digs we have launched our specialty coffee roasting project - Blind Man Coffee and opened up a small cafe in the front of the factory at 122 Chapel St, Marrickville. Please pop in for a chai sometime!

For nearly 15 years I have been creating jewelry that has evolved with my own personal and spiritual growth. Being primarily self-taught, I've developed unconventional metalwork techniques that work in conjunction with my rustic, organic style. But my approach to capturing inspiration from nature is not nearly as important as the meaning and message that is being conveyed.
Mixed Media Metal Jewelry
Organic shapes
Spiritual inspiration
Forged, recycled metals, found objects
Ethnic beads & intricately handmade components

Each piece is joyfully created for its eventual home ...

Don't throw it out! That old pair of figure skates collecting dust in the corner of your garage is still valuable.
Play It Again Sports at 3939 N. Ashland sells new and used equipment. You can bring in your old sporting stuff and leave with cash in your pocket.
"It has value," store owner Charles Kaminsky says. "Bring it in!"
A customer brings in their old equipment and the store attaches a value to that equipment. Customers can chose to receive store credit, cash or put the item on consignment. Store credit is typically 45-percent of the assigned value. The consignment price is around 40-percent of the value. The cash value is determined by supply, demand and season. If you join the Play It Again Sports membership club, those percentage values increase.
"It's a great way to save money for future purchases," Kaminsky says. "You can do something with the family you could not do before, because you're leaving with money in your pocket."

The other day I had the pleasure of hearing about a neat online company called FashionCan that helps independent designers set up and manage an online boutique. I checked it out and was pleasantly surprised by what I found there.
FashionCan currently hosts boutiques for 10 independent designers, my favorites being: House of Spy, Valerie Dumaine, and Elroy Apparel. Their garments are a bit on the pricey side, but that comes with purchasing and supporting independent designers. Aside from the pricey aspect, the pieces from these three previously mentioned designers are incredibly inspiring. These three have very unique points of view when it comes to silhouettes and the girl they are aiming to dress. Here are my favorite pieces:
I usually am not a big fan of white.I am super clumsy, and am ambivalent about wearing white for I fear the inevitable ketchup or coffee stain. But this dress looks so comfortable, and effortless, that I just might put my fears aside. Livin on the edge! That's right. I love the unfinished look on the sleeves and bottom of this dress. It's the perfect summer dress for frolicking in a field of poppies, and then falling asleep, sleep. Poppies will make you sleeeep.
The Agnes Dress by Valerie Dumaine
First of all, this model is gorgeous. Perfect styling, so kudos to Miss Dumaine! This dress is a great, great example of a modern take on vintage style. The 1940′s top, with the modern just-above-the-knee length of the bottom. Great color, great shapes, which hint at the always classic and chic, nautical look.
The Nepeta Dress by Elroy Apparel
I want this dress. I am OBSESSED with pockets right now, as I think many gals are. This is the perfect "little black dress" for us non-conventional types. The sleeves are great for those of us who have broad shoulders, and the length is perfect with a pair of opaque colored tights (or netted, or patterned tights). The possibilities are endless with this dress. It can be styled so many different ways. Definitely classic. This piece will be able to be worn throughout the coming decades. You can take my word for it.

After Denver we went west on I-70 to pick up Hwy 40 past Idaho Springs and head north. It's a pretty steady climb to Idaho Springs, and then Hwy 40 zig-zags up to Berthoud Pass at 11,307 ft. elevation. That's a tough climb. We were heading to Hot Sulphur Springs where we would meet Chris at the city's Pioneer Park. They have campsites in the park, right on the Colorado River. We spent 2 days there and Chris had a good time fly-fishing right near our site. It was a great spot, except for the train tracks next door. Lots of trains, lots of train horns, including overnight. Other than that it was a nice little spot. Tiny little town, nice to walk around it in the evening.
Next we were going to a spot that Chris had heard of called Rabbit Ears Pass. It's on Hwy 40 on the way to Steamboat Springs. I checked the Escapees Days End directory and saw a few listings for the pass area. Looking at Google Maps, there seemed to be a couple of good boondocking spots right at the top of the pass. We pulled in and really liked the site. We were back in the forest, yay! It's at about 9,700 feet elevation, so the weather was very nice and cool.
By the way, while in Golden we were packed in like Sardines at the Golden Terrace RV "Resort". But, my neighbors were all just great, and the other residents I met at the dog run were really nice. Again, glad to have a site for a month for $500, no complaints, but it was good to be back in the forest with no one around.
There was a trail-head just across the highway from our site and it took us to the Rabbit Ears Trail, which we hiked part way. Then, on another day, we drove to the trail-head and hiked the full trail. It gets pretty steep near the top. The views up there were great!
While we were at Rabbit Ears the USA Pro Challenge cycling race came through. Rabbit Ears Pass was a 'King of the Mountain' site for the riders to earn points. We could see it from our site, but we took our chairs out by the road and sat with another couple that had parked there to watch the race.
It was a great viewing site as the riders came over the hill and started the descent into Steamboat Springs. Jens Voigt had built up a major lead up the mountain and he was first past us. He would later lose the lead as the Peleton caught up to him within a mile or 2 of the end of the stage.
It was really cool to be so close to the action of the race. I had never seen a bike race in person. The number of support vehicles that precede and follow the race was phenomenal. The couple we watched with (they were from Florida) followed cycling and were able to tell us who was who and what was what during the race. It was nice sitting with folks who could answer our newbie questions.
One day we had a visit from our friends John and Linda. We had met them at the Lazy Daze gathering in Quartzsite in January. They were on their way back to Colorado Springs from a trip to Grand Tetons National Park. Their route back home took them pretty close to us so they swung by and spent a night at our spot. It was so good to visit with them again. The day they came I was working on changing out my house batteries, which were about 6 years old and not really holding a charge anymore. So, Chris and John took them out and I drove Chris' truck to the Napa in Steamboat Springs for a couple of new 6 volt golf cart batteries. Then the guys hooked them up. Linda took a picture in the middle of it and she posted it on her blog, Adventures with Sadie. Our visiting got cut short by rain in the evening, and the next morning it was very foggy when they were about to leave. But, I still got a pic before they took off. Looking forward to visiting with them again in Abiquiu, NM later this month, and at the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque in October.
The next morning was Saturday, so we went in to Steamboat Springs to go to the Farmer's Market and stroll the town.
It's a really pretty town. They must have strict ordinances about buildings, even the McDonald's looked like a ski chalet. There were some very nice statues around town. I liked the ones of Abe Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain. at the benches on one corner.
View down the main street, toward the ski mountain.
While camped at Hot Sulphur Springs and Rabbit Ears Pass I/we did some work on the rig. We (97% Chris) changed my water pump, which was starting to fail. I hung an IKEA LED light above my back window like I did in my prior RV, and another of the same light above my dinette (I love that light fixture.) I put in a gooseneck faucet in the kitchen, same fixture as my dad and I put in the last rig. Mostly I was able to do it myself with Chris supervising and checking my work.
Next we wanted to go to Leadville. I had found a couple of possible forest sites west and southwest of town and, at 10,000 feet elevation, should be cool enough. On the way we stopped at Wolford Campground near Kremmling. I needed to get a full charge on my new batteries (my 85 watt solar panel wasn't cutting it) and needed a plug in site. The Wolford site was better than a cramped RV park. Chris did a little fishing in the lake, but he prefers fly fishing in rivers.
Will write about our visit to Leadville next.

Our story begins with me stopping in at Wegman's, my local grocery chain, to buy snacks to distribute. When I'm running a game, I see myself as host and my players as guests, regardless of venue, and I think it's a nice gesture to provide snacks. My plan was to hit up the bulk candy aisle and fill up a bag with gummi candy octopuses; what could be more appropriate for Cthulhu, yes?
I get to the bulk candy aisle, and there's two sorority girls (they were wearing Greek letters; honestly, I'm at the point where everybody under the age of 25 looks like they're 12 to me) emptying the gummi octopus bin into a bag.
Girls, there is nothing you need those gummi octopuses for more than I need them, okay?
So casting about, I grab two packages of Halloween Oreo cookies. This will do.
The drive in is uneventful; I drive past the Buffalo Convention Center where the convention is being held, heading for the nearest parking lot. I pull in, and am told by the attendant, "Sorry, the last spot just filled, you'll have to find someplace else to park."
Pull into the next lot; the attendant says it's $5, cash only, to park. I don't have cash on me. He says, "Whatever, just park there anyways. They aren't paying me enough to care." So I ended up with free parking for the event.
Queen City Conquest is not a huge convention, but it feels big to me. I think about 400 people go through the door over the course of the weekend. This year, QCC was sharing the Buffalo Convention Center with some sort of crossfit/gym-junkie convention, which was pretty funny to me.
Both my sessions this time around were run under the banner of Rogue Cthulhu, an organization based out of Ohio that organizes convention games of Call of Cthulhu; my friends Rich and Heather, who have been playing in my games at Running GAGG pretty consistently for years, are working to expand Rogue Cthulhu into the Western New York region, beginning with this year's Queen City Conquest, and I was more than happy to work with them on this.
There is no reference to a safe in the scenario, much less mysterious contents.
So I decided to do some rewriting, to revise the monster, tie the scenario in more strongly to the semi-connected "Cthulhu Mythos" of the RPG, and create an interesting something in the captain's safe. After playing around with various slug- and worm-like ideas in my sketchbook, I came up with a revised monster that I felt confident in - a fat, wattled worm-creature that dragged itself along on two stubby, webbed arms with a one-eyed, slug-like face and a tongue it could project like a chameleon's, only tipped in a sharp barb; this would replace the bow and arrow as the creature's primary weapon.
I tied this creature in to Lovecraft's short story "The Temple," and more specifically to "Gloon," a worm-like entity with a strange connection to certain Greek-style statues; Gloon is, as far as I know, wholly a creation of the RPG. I placed a Gloon-connected piece of statuary in the captain's safe, noted in the captain's log (which the investigators in this case never got a chance to read) the statue's origin, and sent the creature to retrieve the statue and kill the unbelievers handling it.
The scenario moved at a leisurely pace, ratcheting up the creep factor; the players decided to head
|my set up for the 1pm game
Ultimately, the creature killed four of the six investigators; one got impaled through the chest on the tongue-tentacle, the second survived an impalement through the thigh only to be killed when another investigator dropped a molotov cocktail on them; the third got impaled through the head, and the fourth, now obsessed with the strange statue, was dragged under water and drowned when he refused to release his hold on it.
We had one new player and three who had played in one of my games at last year's QCC; two scheduled players weren't able to make it but Rich and Heather were able to jump in. I really liked the changes I made, and while the characters never learned the origin of the statue or the monster, at least one of the players looked at me and went, "This is from Lovecraft's 'The Temple,' isn't it?" so the connection was not lost.
I had dinner with my sister and her boyfriend at the Pearl Street Grill, a short walk from the convention center, and I'm pretty sure I had the same thing I had last year - a bacon cheeseburger topped with onion rings, cooked medium, side of fries. Below the Pearl Street Grill is a wonderful little place called Brawler's Deli - I was treated to lunch there by my coworkers the day I left my job at HSBC bank, the day before I moved to Rochester. Giant, meat-filled sandwiches. Unfortunately they're closed on weekends, otherwise I would have insisted on a pastrami on rye from Brawler's. But I digress.
On the way back from dinner, I stopped at my car and grabbed the Oreos, which I forgot to bring in when I brought all my game stuff; as such, I placed one package of Oreos on my table, and one the next table over, where Heather was running a very dark, somber WWII-era Call of Cthulhu scenario. This was quite a contrast from my 7pm adventure, "The Haunting of De Morcey House," which began life as an attempt to update the classic scenario "The Haunting" to the modern day. I used a team of fraudulent TV ghost-hunters as investigators, brought in elements from M.R. James' short stories "The Treasure of Abbot Thomas" and "The Casting of the Runes," and replaced the lich in the basement with a Crawling One, a wizard's personality and intellect transferred to the worms that ate his corpse. Finally, I brought in a few touches from an episode of the TV show "Supernatural," specifically one dealing with the "Ghost-Facers," a group of inept ghost hunters trying to get a TV deal.
Two of my players from the earlier session returned for this one, and I think the other four players were either completely new to Call of Cthulhu or hadn't played it in years. It ended up being a fairly light-hearted scenario, even as they were attacked by swarms of rats and pelted with exploding china cabinets. Sanity was nickel-and-dimed away by so many "small" events, and then the final reveal when the Crawling One boiled up out of the ground, plus the discovery of a crystalline idol of the Great Old One Yibb-Tstll, really cracked some brains. The Crawling One blasted two investigators out of existence with castings of the Shrivelling spell, and a third player, having lost almost half his sanity in one failed roll after being granted a vision of Yibb-Tstll in the flesh, woke up three days later, two towns over with no memory of who he was or how he got there.
As an added bonus, one of the new players had recently taken a cryptography and code-breaking class - and so when they discovered the coded message hidden in the stained glass window, he was able to solve the code without needing me to give any help. An unexpected use for a class he took as an elective, to be sure.
Both scenarios basically took of their entire time slots, which took me by surprise; I had anticipated them both running about three hours, but The Derelict ran for three hours and thirty-seven minutes, while The Haunting of De Morcey House ran three hours and fifty minutes.
I didn't end up buying anything at any of the vendor tables at QCC this year - nothing really jumped out at me, and I didn't want to buy something just for the sake of buying something. I was surprised to see no miniatures for sale anywhere - one vendor had a couple boxes of ships for the "X-Wing" fleet battles game, but that was it. I did get a T-shirt with the con logo on it, but I'm not sure I'll get to wear it - I think Gina has already declared it "soft" and thus claimed it.
The drive home wasn't too bad, but I definitely wasn't caffeinated enough - next year I either need to not do an evening game or make arrangements to spend the night in Buffalo, but I'm not sure I was really good to drive home - my eyelids were dangerously heavy. But overall it was a good show and I'm looking forward to next year's show.

William Blake's own balding pate is highly unlikely to prove influential in the fashion world any time soon, but his colour print The Night of Enitharmon's Joy (previously known as Hecate) has become something of an inspiration.
Konstantina Mittas, an avant-garde fashion designer based in Sydney who also has her own fashion label, launched her Spring/Summer collection this week at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, with hairstyles drawn from Blake's 1795 large colour print. According to a hyperbolic account at Styleicons.com.au (worth visiting for the marvellous photos, if not the prose), Mittas sought to "create a collection that reveals a paradoxically furturistic world of myth, ruled over by the Greek Moon Goddess, Hecate". Of course, it is really Enitharmon rather than Hecate who is the subject of the painting, but the connection between Blake's mythical character and the Greek goddess was one that had been well-established in popular imagination for more than a century.
Whether Hecate or Enitharmon, Mittas has made a good choice. In Europe, it is the "nameless shadowy figure" whose "snaky hair brandish[es] in the winds of Enitharmon", and generally when Blake does describe the hairdos of his characters they are snaky, flaming, covered in fire, which must surely appeal to some manufacturers of certain hair products. Anyone who has read it is unlikely to forget the following description of Orc from plate 77 of The Four Zoas:
Howling & rending his dark caves the awful Demon lay
Pulse after pulse beat on his fetters pulse after pulse his spirit
Darted & darted higher & higher to the shrine of Enitharmon…
Then bursting from his troubled head with terrible visages & flaming hair
His swift wingd daughters sweep across the vast black ocean

When I need to find a v-neck white blouse with a bow, I search Pintrest. If I have no clue what to make for dinner but I've got a pound of shrimp, I search Pintrest. More and more often I find myself frustrated with the search results I'm getting from Google or Bing but entirely happy with what I find on Pintrest. Why are so many others making this same switch?
While Pintrest doesn't have the same saturation as Facebook or other social sites, yet, it is growing quickly both in the U.S. and internationally. Some still see Pintrest as a place to store some recipes or craft ideas, but it has become so much more. According to Penny Fox in an article on Busines2Community.com, "At it's core, Pintrest is the place for people to plan and aspire about what they can do to enrich their lives." So yes I have a board for recipes and one for crafts, but I have about thirty others too. I have quotes that inspire me, images and quotes that evoke the right mood for the novels I've written and pins that just make me think or laugh. So all the results I get when I search the site are important things that were worth saving to other people. I get search results with a personal touch.
In the article Ms. Fox also notes that understanding your search results on Pintrest is much easier because, "Most people are visual learners. We connect faster with images because it's easier to scan visual search results over a list of text links."
So on Pintrest my search for a blouse or recipe will net me images that I can scan to find what I am looking for. But the benefits don't stop there. Once I find an image I like I can click on it and follow it to it's source. More and more often that source is a retail site where I can purchase the item I want. Large retailers and one-woman Etsy shops are quickly tapping into the power of the Pintrest search and creating their own searchable pin boards.
But it's when I am looking for ideas more than a specific item that Pintest far exceeds the other search engines. If I'm planning a cruise I can find ideas for things to pack, excursions in each port, hints from others who have already taken the trip, and pictures of the ship and ports. I can combine all of these and save them to a board that I create. When I'm ready to pack or book excursions,I can refer back to that board and easily find what I need (again, the images help a lot). Or, I can just look at them and dream (which is half the fun of planning a trip).
Finally, through my searching I can find others who share my interests and connect with them. Another feature that is not available on the big search engines. When I log onto Pintrest I see pins from people I follow, people I share interests with. The latest fall fashions, best healthy recipes, hottest pictures of beautiful men and uplifting quotes that speak to me are lined up on my home page and change often. It is easy to get pulled in and just keep scrolling and clicking and scrolling (you get the idea).
If you need a Euro to dollars conversion, go with google. The web address of your local dentist–bing it. But for most of life's other dilemmas, I say, throw it up on Pintrest and see what comes up. I think you'll be amazed at the results.
Is Pintrest your new go to search engine? What's your favorite way to use Pintrest? As always I'd love to hear from you.
