Megan Fox's appearance at premiere

By Lucy Mapstone Slide 1 of 11

Megan Fox - Friends With Kids screening

We feel like we don't see enough of Ms Megan Fox around lately. Maybe it's because she's happily married to hunky hubby Brian Austin Green?Anyway, we were glad to see her out at the premiere for Friends With Kids, the funny new rom-com movie about a bunch of couples in their 30s... with kids.

Episode 74 – Canadians

Canada: our neighbor to the North, with access to everything from free healthcare to French fries topped with gravy and cheese curds. (Note: perhaps there’s a correlation between the poutine and the need for healthcare?) They’re just like us, except for being much more polite, speaking two languages and having a working system of governance.

So when we decided to do our Rushmore of Canadians, we knew we were out of our depths and needed an expert. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to convince Casey Corbin to join us as a guest judge. Casey is one of Canada’s most successful stand-up comedians and a REAL CANADIAN who truly understands what makes Canadians tick. (Answer: mostly maple syrup.)

If you like funny things (despite your patronage of this podcast), you should definitely follow Casey on Twitter and listen to his comedy album “Vampires Are Popular” on Spotify. And if you like wrestling, also make sure to check out his Talk ‘N Wrestling Podcast.

So grab a Labatt’s, order some Pizza Pizza, turn down the “Hockey Night in Canada” theme and crank up this episode. Please?

Michael Jackson's Mother Talks To Oprah: The Highlights

File this post under "Things that aren't overtly hip-hop, but still ... are hip-hop."

Katherine Jackson, mother of the late Michael Jackson, talked with Oprah Winfrey on Monday (November 8 ) for a frank discussion about her son and grandchildren. Here are a few highlights from the chat about one of hip-hop's fallen icons.

"I don't think I will ever be healed," Katherine said when asked if she believes that time will make accepting her son's death easier. "It will get better, but some days it's like it just happened. ... It hurts. It really hurts."

During the in-depth talk, Oprah also spoke to Joe Jackson, and asked about how he disciplined his Jackson brood. Jackson was apprehensive about saying that he "beat" his children but Mrs. Jackson finally made him come out with it.

"You might as well admit it," Mrs. Jackson said to Joe. "That's the way black people raise their children. ... He used a strap."

Oprah followed up by asking if Mr. Jackson would've raised his kids differently in hindsight.

"I would punish them by whipping them with a strap when they did something wrong, it would've kept them out of trouble," he said. "My kids never been in jail before, nine kids ... never been in jail."

"I never beat him like the media tried to say," Mr. Jackson added later in the interview.

Mrs. Jackson also delved into Michael's experience during the 2005 child-molestation trial, in which he was acquitted of all charges but not before his career, and public image, were irreparably damaged.

"All his life, he had to go through stuff like this, and they were just lying on him," she said, asserting that she never once questioned his innocence in the matter. "I never thought [he could be guilty of molesting a child], because I know he wouldn't. He loved children, and he was around children all the time ... 'I'd rather slit my own wrists than to hurt a child' — he would always say that."

On the brighter side, the late icon's daughter Paris recalls her dad making a mean breakfast.

"I'd say he was the best cook ever," she told Oprah, with a smile. "He made the best french toast in the world."

Michael died June 25, 2009, of a heart attack caused by an overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol, and Katherine said she learned of her son's death from his personal doctor, Conrad Murray, after arriving at the hospital. "He came out, and he was talking, and it took him so long." Frustrated, Katherine asked, "Did he make it?" and Murray said, " 'No, he's gone.' That's all I remember," she said, tearing up once more at the memory. She called it the worst day of her life.

The first single entitled "Breaking News" from Michael Jackson's posthumous LP Michael hit the Internet on November 8.

Comcast Touts Multiscreen Video ‘VIPER’

‘Home-Grown’ Video Infrastructure Designed to Accelerate Deployments Across IP-Connected Screens 10/08/2013 12:37 PM Eastern

Comcast has been quietly plugging away on a platform designed to accelerate the company’s ability to deliver high-quality video to a wide range of screens.

That project, called VIPER, is a “home-grown video infrastructure…that streamlines the delivery of all professional content through the same broadcast-grade, programmable pipeline,” Comcast senior VP and chief software architect Sree Kotay explained this week in a blog post about the project. “This translates to a more consistent, cost effective, and high-quality viewing experience no matter where our customers watch – on TV, online, on mobile devices, on gaming consoles.”

FierceCable reported earlier this month that the Comcast has been highlighting VIPER, an acronym for Video IP Engineering and Research, in its recent hiring activities, including its seeking of a service delivery engineer to be based in Littleton, Colo. The heart of Comcast’s cloud-based X1 platform is based at its facility in Centennial, Colo.

Kotay referred to X1 as “the first IP, cloud-based entertainment operating system,” which is also the precursor to X2, an upgrade that will enable Comcast’s new interface to reach not just the TV, but also PCs and other mobile devices. Comcast expects to have X1 rolled out to all markets by the end of the year; rollouts of the X2 software upgrade, which will also clear the toward a new cloud DVR offering, is expected to begin sometime this fall.

Some of VIPER's handiwork is already tied to Comcast’s Xfinity.com/TV Web video hub and the Xfinity TV Player app for iOS- and Android-powered smartphones and tablets.

“We're reengineering how we do business, and have been evolving a software company inside our larger organization with a very simple goal: keep delivering better and better product experiences that help our customers enjoy all the content and services they want, faster than ever before,” Kotay wrote.

    1. I wonder how much I could echo my farts from the high up regions.

    2. I’ll take the third one. Modernity FTW!

    3. Ok the view in the first picture is just gorgeous. And in the forth one, is it really a toilet? wth

    4. I’ve actually used the first one before and it is kinda surreal. It’s on the approach to Forbidden Peak in the Cascades. They have these toilets on the more popular routes to manage waste, some people don’t like to use wag bags.

    5. The last one don’t work if it’s about -50C outside =)

    6. I’d shat on the mountain top.

    7. @doc: Me too. The house we had in France had the greatest bathroom. We lived in one wing of an old manor house and the bathroom was huge, tiled, a tub that could fit 4 adults, and a fireplace. Heaven.

Tucson Innovative Home Tour Highlights

I am back from the second day of the Innovative Home Tour. I'm tired again but I thought I would post some pictures of the houses that I saw.

The first house was made out of Rastra block. Rastra is concrete and styrofoam balls formed in to blocks with hollow centers. Once the walls are stacked concrete is poured down the holes to unify the wall. This kind of wall has a higher insulation value than plain concrete block. I'm not going to go in to the technical details, you can look that up yourself.

The owner installed solar panels on the roof which generate enough power for heating and cooling. They had a neat wall mounted air conditioner (I forgot to take a picture. It mounts high on the wall and only needs a very small vent, unlike the window air conditioners that have to be half way outside. (That would be perfect for my shed house)

The picture above shows the Rastra block in their storage room. It can be covered in wallboard or painted.

This house also used Rastra but the neat thing about it was the polished concrete floors and the concrete countertops. I like the concrete counter tops and they are cheaper than solid granite but I think if I build a house I will use granite tiles for my countertops.

This house was brand new and for sale. The project was a downtown in-fill development. The architect used adobe blocks that were left exposed on some walls. It was a very nice house. They used Brazilian quartz for the countertops! Definitely out of my price range. I think the price was around $700,000.

This one was spotlighting water saving techniques and xeriscape. They made there own 500 gallon water collection tank and connected it to their gutters. Then they dug large basins in their yard and filled them with mulch and planted fruit trees and vegetables.

The rainwater is directed to the basins to water the plants. They also use their laundry water to water the plants. They added 2 other pipes to their laundry plumbing. One went to their peach tree, one to their apricot tree and the other to the sewer when they didn't need any extra water. They also bought special laundry detergent so that the plants did not get too much salt. Digging basins for my garden and fruit trees is something I would really like to do. Maybe next year I will rent a bobcat tractor and do some digging.

This house is built with strawbales. It has a living room and kitchen with one bedroom and a bathroom downstairs and a loft upstairs that is used as a second bedroom.

The ceiling is very high making it feel like a much bigger house. The owner used natural plasters inside and did most of the work herself with some help from friends.

This is her solar hot water heater. Basically a black tank under glass.

The floors are a mix of clay and linseed oil. I don't remember all of the ingredients but they were as hard as cement and very natural looking.

The outside is covered in an earthen plaster as well. The wood peckers enjoy pecking holes in it. She said she will have to apply a layer of stucco to discourage the birds.

Those are the houses that I saw yesterday. I saw more houses today but I haven't downloaded the pictures yet. I wish I had another day off of work. My weekend flew by.

Over the Cubicle Wall said...

Very neat stuff. I've seen some ads for those small vent wall air conditioners - they are intriguing for small spaces.

My boss rented a bobcat a few weeks back. He still talks about how fun it was.

Sharon Rose said...

Hi there-It sounds like you've sourced a lot of inspiration from viewing all of these!! They are all great!

Lizzie said...

Hi Daizy
Some brilliant ideas. I am betting youa re making plans already....

Daizy said...

over the cubicle wall, maybe I should buy a bobcat and start a new career! Nah, I don't like to be outside when it is over 90 degrees...which is more then half of the year.

Thanks sharon rose, it certainly was fun to go see them all.

Glad you are back lizzie! There were a lot of ideas but a lot of them were too expensive to be practical. I still have plans for my shed house. That's all my budget can handle for now.

Prep Time
5 Mins
Marinate Time
3 Hours
Cook Time
25 Mins
Serves 6

Grilled pork chops and onions, marinated in GOYA® Mojo Chipotle, are moist and tender with a zesty, smoky-spicy flavor.

These easy pork chops are best when they soak up the marinade overnight, so that, the next day, you can enjoy their juicy flavor in minutes.

We’re sure you’ll give our grilled pork chops high marks for ease and flavor!

How to Make It

Step 1

In a zip-top bag or a large container with a lid, combine the pork, onions and 1 cup mojo. Seal bag and transfer to refrigerator; chill at least 3 hours, or overnight.

Step 2

Step 3

Prepare a grill to medium-high heat, or heat a large, lightly-greased grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove pork and onions from the marinade; discard any leftover liquid. Season pork with adobo. Cook pork until golden brown and internal temperature registers 160° F on a quick-read thermometer, basting with remaining mojo, flipping once, 15 – 20 minutes. Cook unions until soft and golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Divide pork and onions evenly among serving dishes.

Step 5

Step 6

* If you do not have a self-sealing bag, be sure to use a non-reactive container such as a glass or stainless steel baking dish to marinate your chops. Do not use aluminum.

Family and neighbors who had frantically searched for a missing child were heartbroken Sunday, coping with the tragic discovery of the girl's body inside an old microwave oven in her backyard.

San Antonio police believe the girl, identified by relatives as Rebecca Maria Herrera, 6, climbed inside the microwave in the 4200 block of Wild Oak Drive, near W.W. White Road, and somehow became trapped Saturday. Her body was found several hours after she was reported missing. The incident is being investigated as an accidental sudden death, police said.

Relatives said they were shocked and devastated, declining further comment at the scene Saturday and when reached at the home Sunday morning.

An intensive search for Rebecca, the daughter of an SAPD bicycle patrol officer, was launched when she was reported missing around 7 p.m. Saturday. Neighbors and police searched for the girl by knocking on doors, peering down alleys and calling her name, neighbors said. Eagle, the SAPD helicopter, combed the neighborhood from the air.

“The whole neighborhood was helping search,” Lt. Randy Smith said. “It's a tight community.”

According to neighbors, the girl was home with her mother at the time. Rebecca's father, 38-year-old John Herrera, was in Florida. Around 10 p.m., Rebecca's brother and a police officer found her, officials said. The brother, whose age was not immediately released, had no cause to check the microwave, which was sitting on top of some heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment along the side of the house, police said, but opened it randomly, police said.

“All of a sudden, we heard people screaming that the baby was in the microwave,” said a next-door neighbor who wished only to give her last name, Garcia. “We just couldn't imagine — how does the baby get into a microwave?”

Police said the girl was small and liked to hide. She might have crawled in and closed the door accidentally, police said, or closed it not knowing it may not reopen from inside. An autopsy report is pending.

On Sunday, Garcia and her husband were straightening up their backyard, which was swarming with police officers during and after the search Saturday night. Garcia said she's known Rebecca's father, John, for more than 30 years, and couldn't imagine how the family was coping with the loss. The couple has several children older than Rebecca and are good parents, she said.

“I didn't sleep,” she said. “They are really nice kids, and it's because of their upbringing. (The Herreras) are very good parents.”

Stephanie Almendarez and her small daughter, who live across the street, held back tears as they watched investigators enter Herrera's home. Her children would often play with the little girl, and her husband and sons had ridden their bicycles around the block earlier as part of the search team.

A mother of five, she could not imagine the family's pain, Almendarez said.

“I heard somebody yell, ‘I found her,' and then I heard crying,” she said. “I am shocked. I thought she was OK. I've never seen anything like this.”

SAN ANTONIO — In addition to Tim McGraw and Kacey Musgraves, first-week rodeo entertainers include:

Jake Owen, 7:30 p.m. Florida-bred country singer (not to be confused with the S.A.-bred guitar ace) had to give up golf after an injury, but he's done quite well writing and singing country. Owen's 2011 album “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” was a huge hit. He's touring with his latest disc, “Days of Gold.”

Big Time Rush, 1 p.m. It's a band and a Nickelodeon TV series, but it's the band from the TV show that'll be in action after the rodeo. Prepare for eardrum-challenging screams that'll start long before the boy band launches into songs from its “24/Seven” album.

Cynthia Sanders wants to make a summer sandwich, and she needed our help in finding the recipe.

She writes, “I used to have a recipe for a spiral sandwich from Quicksands, a sandwich, soup, salad shop near the Embassy theaters. I can't find it.

“You used flatbread or flour tortillas that wrapped around chicken salad and a dressing that you spread on the flatbread before you rolled the sandwich.

“I don't remember what was in the spread, but I know that sandwich also had some sprouts in it and maybe some shaved carrot or sliced tomato.

“I think this recipe was in your section in the late 1990s, and I know it came from Quicksands Café.

“Thank you.”

Because Sanders remembered the restaurant this sandwich came from, we were able to locate it. This recipe originally ran in Pat Mozersky's “Chefs' Secrets” column in 2001; she noted that Quicksands chef/owner Donald Craig Savage usually uses chicken salad in the sandwiches but leftover turkey is a great alternative.

“Chicken salad arams, or what today are called wraps, are flatbreads rolled up in a spiral with veggies and chicken salad,” Savage told Mozersky.

“They can be made using purchased tortillas or flatbreads called lavash (Armenian flatbread), but at Quicksands they make their own yeasted flatbread from wheat and oats,” she wrote.

San Antonio's horse carriage, limousine and taxi industries have been waiting for years for the city to update an ordinance that regulates when, where and how they operate.

They'll have to wait a little longer.

At Thursday's City Council meeting, a vote on proposed new regulations for ground transportation providers was delayed after Deputy City Manager Erik Walsh noticed that several independent taxi drivers had signed up to speak against the proposed rules.

“I was told we had significant opposition to the item from the taxicab industry,” Walsh explained about his recommendation to table the action.

The proposed regulations have been developing for almost a decade, the product of dozens of meetings between the Transportation Advisory Board and industry leaders.

They propose allowing horse-drawn carriages to roam the city more freely, limousines to stay in service longer, and taxis to charge night rates for more hours, among other things, with the aim of improving efficiency.

The changes also would have loosened working conditions for carriage horses, increasing the maximum temperature for them to work from 95 to 96 degrees and reducing their break time between rides from 10 to five minutes.

Members of the horse carriage industry have said the temperature increase would keep carriage drivers from having to end rides abruptly when the thermostat reaches 95 degrees. The shorter break time would keep loading areas from clogging up, said Anne Van Dyke, owner of Yellow Rose Carriage Co.

Walsh and members of the horse carriage industry said they worked with veterinarians and Animal Care Services to make sure the changes wouldn't hurt the horses.

The carriage horses have been bred to work under hot conditions, and their sauntering through city streets is not taxing for them, industry workers said after the meeting.

“They're athletes,” said Noah Tillman-Young, a driver for Yellow Rose. “They're toned up. They've got muscle.”

With the City Council in recess during July, the next opportunity to vote on the changes will be in August, leaving many frustrated.

Mayor Julián Castro said he also had unanswered questions about the changes and felt it would also be unfair to ask new council members, including two sworn in Thursday, to weigh in on such an important topic without having more time to consider the issue.

“What kind of democracy is this?” asked Michael Khadem, owner of AAA Limousines, Taxi & Charter.

Taxi drivers said the proposed changes didn't address their concerns about Yellow Cab Co.'s “monopoly” of the industry. The company owns about 560 of the 800 taxi permits in San Antonio, they said. They accused the advisory board of ignoring their complaints that Yellow Cab has oversaturated the San Antonio market with permits.

“They cordially listened to them and put them in file 13 - which is a trash can,” said Robert Gonzales, who runs a small taxi business and is a member of the advisory board.

The drivers also complained about the airport shuttle, the placement of taxi signs at the airport and a rule forcing them to accept credit cards, which come with a fee.

Transportation Advisory Board member Sherry Shaw disputes their characterization of Yellow Cab as a monopoly, pointing out that there are many taxi companies in San Antonio. The board has no jurisdiction over the operation of the airport shuttle or the signs at the airport, she said, and passing credit card fees to the customer is illegal under state law.

“Some of the issues the taxi drivers have will never, ever, ever be to their satisfaction,” Shaw said.

Staff writer Josh Baugh contributed to this report.

On Saturday afternoon, a single heart-shaped wreath with a banner saying “I love you” marked the spot where Isiah Cantu, 13, fell to the ground Friday night — fatally wounded by a gunshot to the head as he stood outside his North Side apartment talking to his stepbrother.

The boy, who would have turned 14 on Sunday, was pronounced dead at University Hospital just before 10 p.m. Friday, police said.

Jesus Treviño, 22, was arrested late Friday on an outstanding warrant related to a theft charge and was questioned in the slaying. By Saturday afternoon, police had issued a murder warrant for Treviño, who remained in the Bexar County Jail, in the teen's death. Police said he had confessed to participating in the shooting.

Evidence of the bloody attack from the previous night was still visible Saturday at the Olive Tree Apartments, at Everest Avenue and West Sunset Road. A young girl playing nearby stopped as she came to the memorial, pausing to inspect the red-and-white, flower-lined wreath and read its sign.

A neighbor who asked not to be named said she had often seen Cantu around the complex, and believed he had several family members who lived there, too.

Sgt. Greg Garvelli of the San Antonio Police Department said Cantu and his stepbrother, who is in his late teens or early 20s, were standing outside their apartment when someone approached from behind and hit the man in the head. Shortly after, Cantu was shot, the man told police.

Police spokesman Officer Matthew Porter said a resident who witnessed part of the attack directed police to a gun left on the property, and they believe it is the one used in the shooting.

My Bus Journey from Pathankot to McCleod Ganj + Other Options of getting there

A recent road trip from Pathankot to McCleod Ganj in Dharamshala in a local state transport bus with my dad, made me realize a major something that had been missing from my travels –the joys of travelling in buses as a mode of transport.

A question popped out in my mind out of nowhere: When was the last time I had gleefully opted for a bus over a car or a train?

That’s when, reality struck. I didn't have an answer!

I don’t know exactly when I developed this fascination for luxury and comfort that led me into developing this picture of a bus in my mind – filthy, poor quality of seats, smelly people, long wait in queues at the bus stand, rude conductors and a fat 50% probability of me not getting a window seat!

Buses became the last option for me.

A typical scene inside most of the state run buses in India

Thankfully, that’s not how my dad thinks. And he still prefers the bus as THE mode of transport over all others especially when he travels solo. He can see the other side of the picture, I guess – the positive one which I can’t. The good thing is, when I travel with him, he being my travel inspiration; I follow him wherever he goes. And that’s how I get to broaden my perspectives as well.

So the bus it was, and not one, not two but three of them to cover the 90 odd km. distance from Pathankot to McCleod Ganj in Dharamsala. Not only did the 3 hour long journey erase all my bus negativity but also reinstated a few positive points on bus travel that had gathered dust over time.

Here’s sharing the highlights, so perhaps, the next time I am torn between choices, I just need to flip back a few pages and if you are the kind who share my sentiments then well, all I can say is read on, who knows – my experience might just help you rekindle your bus love once again!

1. Helps you budget travel: Saves money!

The cab fare for Pathankot to Dharamsala by car is approximately Rs. 2500/- (non AC) and Rs. 3500 (AC)

Now the contrast and it’s huge.

The bus fare for the same route i.e. from Pathankot to McCleodganj, Dharamsala is a mere Rs. 150 per person per ticket!

Just focus on your wallet for once and imagine the cash saved by the end of such bus journeys. You can spend it elsewhere like shopping or eating. There are options galore. Like consider this one: How about saving it to fund your next travel? Wouldn't that make your journey even more memorable?!

The road from Pathankot to Dharamsala - Himachal Pradesh
Bus or cab... the scenery is going to be the same - then why pay more?

Here's where the buses score, especially those that are run by state transport corporations come really cheap. Even otherwise, when we look at the private sector, there is a swarm of coupon sites online today tied up with companies like redbus.in and ticketgoose.com and together, they are revolutionizing online bus ticketing concept in India. In order to ensure that we save maximum money, all we need to do is simply use one of these sites and get ourselves, for example, a great deal with a redbus offer code or ticketgoose discount code.

Coming back to my case, since it was one of those state run buses, we got the tickets then and there, real time at the most basic prices. Needless to say, I ended up using my entire extra bonus on all these options and more. Indeed, both me and my dad, we alighted the bus and marked the beginning of our Dharamsala journey as two highly gratified souls.

2. Interaction with the local crowd.

When I got on to my third bus from Dharamsala to McCleod Ganj, I saw a man, roughly in his thirties – dressed in a maroon robe, his fingers deftly running through a rosary of beads - sitting among the rest of the crowd. This was my first sighting of a Tibetan monk from Dharamsala and never before had this journey given me a sense of time and the place I was in but now. The inhabiting exiled monks from Tibet have become a unique feature of the Indian town of Dharamsala they now call home.

The cab totally misses out on this aspect of experiencing firsthand the local feel even before stepping in the city. The buses are a great way to warm you up with local people who use them for regular commuting across the region. Interacting not always necessarily mean that you have to strike up a conversation, even a mere glance or a smile can work wonders for your trip which you are just about to start.

Not the amazing snow scenery outside which I had marveled all along but this sight of the marooned Tibetan monk inside the bus giving me a sneak peek into the Tibetan lifestyle and culture confirmed me this – Yes! I was in Dharamsala!

3. Speed is low, interaction with nature is more!

The third and final thing I have come to love about it is that the bus travels at its own pace, never zooming like a rocket launching out into the sky. It is gentle, owing to a bulky body and knows its limitations. That makes for ample of time for interaction with nature.

A scene from my bus window from Pathankot to Dharamsala - Himachal Pradesh
A scene unfolds ... through the bus window, on the way to McCleod Ganj.

The scenes are never thrown at me. Instead, they change gradually and allow me to take them all in. Muddy mashy streams trail along, heaven bound deodhars bathe in sunny splendor and snowy mountain peaks join me for company. I stick my face out of the window to take a deep breath in, and there, the gentle wind comes rushing to join in, kissing my cheeks in a soft whisper. I am thrown off balance at one of those mountainaceous curves, and yet, I catch the cows grazing in the valleys below. The small narrow roads diverge in towns unknown, so that I can wave at the kids and savor those moments when they wave me back. In between, I catch a nap only to get up to the smell of a perfectly bobbed masala chai at the roadside shack. The driver knows exactly when to stop for a quick halt at the roadside dhaba. And suddenly the air is full with a scintillating smell of fresh home cooked subzi and roti - oh so hard to resist.

The bus journey from Pathankot to McCleod Ganj left me tired but these points made it all worth. I came to realize how wrong was I! The fault was never in the buses, it was my perspective.

And, thus began my journey – from the bus to the bustle of McCleod Ganj – on an incredibly gratifying note. A lot of money saved, even more gorgeous sights captured and the biggest takeaway - got to fall back in love with the buses again!

PS: The seats weren't as bad as I have always thought them to be and I got a window seat for 2 of the bus rides I think. As for the one in which I failed to get one, I owe that to no one but my negativity!

How to reach Dharamsala/McCleod Ganj from Pathankot, Pathankot Cantt or Chakki Bank: what are the fares and other traveler information.

If you are planning a holiday to Dharamsala, Pathankot is the chief junction that you need to get to. Pathankot Cantt or Chakki Bank is the nearest major railhead and Gaggal is the nearest airport.

IRCTC and the confusion surrounding Pathankot Cantt, Chakki Bank and Pathankot:

Please note that Pathankot Cantt (also known as Chakki Bank) and Pathankot are two different railway stations. If you are booking your tickets through IRCTC, don't panic if your planner doesn't throw any results for Chakki Bank. Just type in 'Pathankot Cantt (PTKC)' instead of 'Chakki Bank (CHKB)' and book your tickets - both are the same! From here, hire a rickshaw and get to Pathankot (PTK), 4 kms and 20 minutes away from Pathankot Cantt, to begin your upward journey to Dharamsala.

One more thing is that, if you are travelling from Delhi, you can consider taking the Jammu Mail - it is perhaps the only train that goes beyond Pathankot Cantt (PTKC) to stop at Pathankot (PTK) as well, so you can directly get down at Pathankot station and save yourself the rickshaw hassle.

Once you reach Pathankot (PTK):

There are three options to get to Mcleod Ganj: Taxi (quickest but costliest); bus (convenient and cheaper); the Kangra Toy Train (very very slow and crowded but apparently spectacular, ticket available at Pathankot station, usually available real time).

Pathankot to Dharamsala/McCleod Ganj by Train:

Toy trains leave from Pathankot at regular intervals and reach Kangra station after 5-6 hours. Dharamshala is 17 kms. from Kangra station and Mccleodganj is a further 10 kms from Dharamsala.

Initially this toy train was my choice, but we chucked it for the bus after looking at the crowd that was already on board the train. Also, our rickshaw driver who bought us to Pathankot strongly suggested we take the bus instead of the train. That’s how we decided to go in favor of the bus instead of the train.

Pathankot to Dharamsala/McCleod Ganj by Air:

Gaggal, which is at a distance of 15 kms from Dharamshala, is the nearest airport to Dharamshala. Jagson Airline operates direct flight from Delhi to Dharamshala, thrice a week.

Pathankot to Dharamsala/McCleod Ganj by Bus:

You will have to take an auto/cycle-rikshaw (Rs. 20) till Pathankot bus stand or Chakki bridge. There are plenty of state buses for Dharamsala/McCleod Ganj, almost every half an hour.

My Mumbai to McCleod Ganj Journey Route: Mumbai - Delhi - Pathankot - Gaggal - Dharamsala - McCleod Ganj.

Mumbai to Delhi: By Air.
Delhi to Pathankot Cantt: Jammu Mail (Departed: 20.30; Reached: 6.05)
Pathankot cantt to Pathankot bus stand by auto: Fare Rs. 100
Pathankot to Gaggal by bus: Fare Rs. 126 / ticket (Departed: 7.20; Arrived: 9.30)
Gaggal to Dharamsala by bus: Fare Rs. 17 / ticket (Departed: 9.45; Arrived: 10.25)
Dharamsala to McCleod Ganj by bus: Fare Rs. 13 / ticket (Departed: 10.30; Arrived: 11.05)

McCleodGanj and beyond ...

Reserve a day or two and get a lowdown on the the beautiful views of the town by trekking to Triund. Further, you can also take a detour and roll onto exploring another northern state. Pre-package your tour (Kashmir Tour Packages for example) or customize one of your own - play with all the options available and choose wisely - the choices available are simply endless!

Would you like to share this article with your friends?

  1. Informative post, Arti. Bus rides are interesting and nice way to interact with locals. While travelling from Alibaug to Murud, my co passenger gave me the window seat stating that he sees those scenes everyday, while I dont. What a gesture!

  2. Beautifully and poetically written.

  3. Good one, Arti. Love this post. I see the bus ride really has affected you. Buses do have a charm of their own. I've done quite a bit of bus travelling, some public buses even.
    Gosh, it's been ages since I've been on a bus. This post makes me want to do it again, but I'll think I'll have to wait a little more; been travelling with a baby for a few months now. ;)

  4. Hi,Arti !
    Sorry, It has been so long since I visited you the last.
    How wonderful to know that you had a bus Journey with your dad. I agree with your Dad's idea of using buses for your spiritual journey. There are many kinds of transportation here that are very
    convenient and comfortable. Unfortunately, the number of traffic bus accidents is increasing here in japan, especially night express buses because of bus drivers' tight schedule. They are tired.

    Finally it seems that we have a fall. Have a good week!

  5. So true Arti, i have confusing time to decide how to go to Dharamsala from Amritsar. I find info about toy train from pathankot, they say it's good for the scenery around.
    We try to ask the train station officer about that and they not give us much info, even we can't booking seat from amritsar to pathankot. Finaly we decide to rent car and pay around 3800 Rs because we dont have enough brave to take public transport there. But once we reached the hills we just happy scream because we able to see himalaya from distance. Great experience..

  6. A delightful post! Have traveled by ST buses in this region which is an experience in itself:

  7. Even my father travels alone choose the bus as easy and economic mode of transport. Obviously traveling in a bus is not a bad option but only depends on our need and comfort. It’s been ages I went on a bus and due to my differently abled, cars are my only mode of transportation and I always enjoy traveling around mountains. Just observing things happening around teaches us so many things and I am sure you got great experience, and traveling by bus means more expose to local that cruising in cab.

    Lovely photos on the scene!

  8. Useful information Arti! As usual the details in your post help someone travelling to that particular place. Keep up the good work girl :)

  9. Traveling by State transport bus is an experience. I many times travelled by bus from Haridwar to Delhi, Chandigarh to Delhi and even Mount Abut to Udaipur and enjoyed bus journey very much. If I have travelled the road route before I prefer private bus journey otherwise if the journey is first time I prefer local bus. One should try to travel via State transport bus. They are inexpensive, punctual and quick as well. Am I correct?

  10. Nice to read your post, Thanks for sharing.

  11. Very informative & detailed post, Arti. Bus rides, especially in state transport buses are full of stories & experiences. Not done this route but yeah, who knows I'll be telling the same story one day! :)

  12. Very nice post Arti :) Life is very good if we learn to see positive sides of any negatives... Loved to read the positive sides of journey by Indian local bus transport...Happy traveling :) TC! Keep smiling :)

  13. I agree bus jouneys in India leave you very tired ....hope your alright ...beautifully clicked shots :)

  14. Dear Arti – Nice to hear that you travelled with your father again. I like a bus tour, sitting on a seat, looking out of the window, feeling the rhythm of the bus’s movement. Bus tour is convenient and cost-friendly. Though it was not a long ride, I remember you were looking out on the streets with curious eyes in Kyoto. Indian bus tour seems to have given not good impression to you , but without giving it a try once again, you’ll never understand the positive which exist in all the seeming negatives. Your father’s idea made your eyes open, didn’t it?

    My daughter started working (about ten days a month), and I am with the 16-month boy while her absence. I might not be able to visit and leave a comment right away but please keep it in mind that you’re in my thoughts.

  15. True, bus journeys are a great way to interact with the locals and also save on money. But they can be really irksome at times! (I like comfort and luxury over jerks, smells, and long queues)

  16. Wow- great post dear Arti! Must admit I am like you: very limited bus-traveling... I like trains. But you make it sound tempting, and the routes are different of course... A lot of useful info also - saving that till its my turn to go there... at some point hopefully:-) Enjoyed your bus ride!!

  17. I'm glad this journey changed your perception on traveling by buses, Arti. They can be such cost savers and a great way to interact with the locals. It's also a great way to see the scenery. Very helpful information here for travelers.

  18. Sadly I have never been to your country, but we did travel by bus in Central America and had much the same type of experiences (dreading it at first, but coming to love it and learning so much). Good for your Dad and good for you, glad you loved it.

  19. well written yes traveling in bus gives n number of experiences

  20. Helpful post, Arti. I agree with your points.
    Bus-journeys have their own charm.
    I plan to visit Dharamshala too.
    Looking forward to your subsequent Dharamshala posts :)

  21. A delightful read. It reminds me of my college days where We mostly travel by public buses.

  22. The second half was informative, thanks for sharing. I still prefer bus over cabs and all. Trains I opt for sleeper class mostly. The money saved thus is used otherwise. Bus and trains are a great place to observe people and the window seat is Nature's poetry at its best.

  23. Beautiful pics and informative account ....nicely written Arti... :-)

  24. The bus journey that you cannot afford to miss happen in UK (Uttarakhand not United Kingdom). My friend who visited me last year was gawking at the driver the whole journey, wondering how and why he drives so fast. Bus or no bus, a journey without public transport is sterile and boring !

  25. As someone who'd prefer bus rides over other modes himself, I think your reasons are apt. Local Buses gives you a glimpse into the local culture that nothing else can even come close to. But, I wish the authorities would take care of buses and do something about 'filthy, poor quality of seats, smelly people, long wait in queues at the bus stand, rude conductors' because more often than not, these things happen.

  26. You have provided here great information of your wonderful trip.

  27. Beautiful photos and very interesting read with full of information. Nicely written Arti....:)

  28. Informative post Arti...BTW I like traveling by train too enjoying the scenery and interacting is much more at ease there I feel.

  29. True Arti, the more comforts we've been accustomed to, the more we realize we miss out on some small but important things in life. A classic example here. When we travel in buses, we can enjoy the journey, with our thoughts and admiring nature, or even have a nice conversation with those who've accompanied us or even random strangers who travel with us. When we choose the option of travelling by faster means, we do miss out on many such opportunities.

  30. Bus and second class train , are indeed the best way to experience the local flavor and the people.As you said, the economies of bus travel are huge provided of course, safety is taken care. By being cocooned in the confines of a car or an AC coupe in a train, we have almost become isolated from the true flavor of experiencing India. Great read Arti :)

  31. We have mostly visited Himachal in our own car,that too is a good option;but only if you have a full car-load.Otherwise bus ,it is.

  32. Bus journey are really wonderful since we get to know more about other peoples too. Arti,you are a true travel girl and as usual informative post :)

  33. When in India I always try to go to McLeodganj, and always in a bus from Delhi. Travelling with so many people to a common destination, with mostly a common purpose really helps my traveller's spirits.

  34. Certainly buses are considerably cheaper to travel in. You featured two kinds of buses - a smelly badly upholstered state run bus and a second and much better luxury bus where you have a monk rushing to board one.I would prefer the second category !

  35. Γεια σου αγαπητή μου Arti!!!
    Τελικά το λεωφορείο έχει και τα καλά του! Στην χώρα μου προτιμώ να ταξιδεύω με το δικό μου αυτοκίνητο. Αλλά σε ξένες χώρες, χρησιμοποιώ το λεωφορείο ή το τρένο!
    Να περνάς καλά, καλό Σαββατοκύριακο και πολλά φιλιά!

  36. Enjoyed this post Arti.. Bus rides are charming in their own slow way. They often give way to colorful conversations and encounters with fellow travelers, just like you said!

  37. This was a lovely read Arti. Mcleodganj is beautiful :) I think bus rides are highly underrated. They offer such beautiful views to the traveler :)

  38. Interesting .. as usual, very informative..Arti..

  39. Arti, I liked the way you narrated the story with perfect pictures.

  40. Great post, the bus can be a really underated mode of transport, especially when visiting new places, like you say it gives you a real feel for the place. I take the bus quite a lot at home too, but that's just because I hate driving!

  41. Took me almost same price, here is the cost on 5th nov 2015:
    Pathankot cantt to Pathankot bus stand by auto : Rs. 40 (shared auto)
    Pathankot bus stand to Dharamshala direct bus : Rs 126
    Dharamshala bus stop to Mcleodganj: Rs13

    Luckily the same bus which dropped me at dharamashala bus stop was going to mcleodganj, so i had to wait for 15mins.

  42. Is there any bike rentals in pathankot?

  43. Please tell me that is it safe to travel from pathankot to dharamshal by bus during monsoons. What about the availability of buses during rainfall/

  44. Is there any bus pathankot to chamba?

  45. Loved this and the thoughts too. This post rekindled some memories of my own when I was going from McLeodganj to Manali and my bus left Dharamsala station with my bags but without me!

    I have penned down that experience on the blog :) Hope you will like checking it out.

  46. Thanks for sharing great, inspirational and very informative travel story. Love the scenery of Pathankot.

  47. nice post grate informative story

Fluffy "Shira-ae" with Kabocha and Haricot Vert

"Shira-ae" is a very popular dish in Japan. It's basically vegetables, tossed with creamy tofu paste.

I got kabocha pumpkin and haricot vert in the fridge, so I made a quick shira-ae with these ingredients. I tweaked my regular recipe, and made it with the silky tofu and also added a little kefir at the end. So, the tofu paste was really fluffy and nice. (If you want to make vegan style, you can do without kefir.) Here's the recipe.

Fluffy Shira-ae with Kabocha and Haricot Vert

1/2 pound kabocha pumpkin, cooked to tender texture
2-3 oz haricot vert, cut into 1/3 length and blanched to crisp tender
9 oz silky tofu, drained with a weight for 30 minutes
1.5 tablespoon white sesame seeds, roasted and ground
1.5 tablespoon white soy sauce ("shiro shoyu")
1.5 tablespoon white sesame paste (tahini paste is fine)
2 teaspoons agave nectar
1-1.5 tablespoons kefir
some salt

1. By using mortar and pestle, mash the tofu to a fine paste.
2. Add the sesame seeds, soy sauce, sesame paste, agave nectar, and kefir, one by one and mash with the pestle each time. Add some salt if necessary.
3. Add the kabocha and haricot vert and mix by a spatula.
4. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.

"Shira-ae" makes a wonderful appetizer or side dish.

Re: Has Gingrich Changed? et al

by Mark Steyn

Since Ramesh, Mona, Yuval & Co have got out the tire irons, I figured I might as well pile on. But then a reader from the Cayman Islands reminded me that I’d said pretty much everything I have to say about Newt in November 1998 — in the London Spectator, upon his resignation as speaker. For those Newtroids who huff that I must be in the tank for Mitt (that’s some tank), November 1998 is 13 years ago, when I’m not sure I’d even heard of Mitt Romney.

Anyway, back then, after a brisk trot through his collected Brainstorms-of-the-Week — “The Triangle of American Progress,” “The Four Great Truths,” “The Four Pillars of American Civilization,” “The Five Pillars of the 21st Century,” “The Nine Zones of Creativity,” “The Fourteen Steps to Renewing American Civilization,” The Thirty-Nine Steps to the Five Year Plan of the Six Flags of the Seven Brides for Seven Brothers of the Nine-Inch Nails of Renewing Civilizational Progress for 21st Century America, etc, I concluded:

The Democrats demonised Newt as an extreme right-wing crazy. They were right — apart from the ‘extreme’ and ‘right-wing’, that is. Most of the above seem more like the burblings of a frustrated self-help guru than blueprints for conservative government. For example, Pillar No. 5 of the ‘Five Pillars of American Civilisation’ is: ‘Total quality management’. Unfortunately for Newt, the person who most needed a self-help manual was him — How to Win Friends and Influence People for a start. After last week’s election, Republicans have now embarked on the time-honoured ritual, well known to British Tories and Labour before them, of bickering over whether they did badly because they were too extreme or because they were too moderate. In Newt’s case, the answer is both. He spent the last year pre-emptively surrendering on anything of legislative consequence, but then, feeling bad at having abandoned another two or three of his ‘Fourteen Steps to Renewing American Civilisation’, he’d go on television and snarl at everybody in sight. . . . For Republicans it was the worst of all worlds: a lily-livered ninny whom everyone thinks is a ferocious right-wing bastard.

That’s how it would go this time round. We’d wind up with a cross between Teddy Roosevelt and Alvin Tofler who canoodled on the sofa with Nancy Pelosi demanding Big Government climate-change conventional-wisdom punitive liberalism just as the rest of the planet was finally getting off the bandwagon . . . but the media would still insist on dusting off their 1994 “The Gingrich Who Stole Christmas” graphics.

Love of motorcycles and horse riding inspires invention heading for Harley Davidson shelves.

Devin Santana has a contagious smile, but he was struggling to find it while rolling down the countryside on his motorcycle and thinking about the horse he had lost when he moved into town.

He and his wife Sarah started Nebraska City Iron Works in 1993, but their recent move from a rural acreage meant new homes had to be found for their horses.

Santana earned his living erecting steel rebar for the concrete construction industry, but says he enjoyed a lot of life on the back of his white quarterhorse named Dude.

Somewhere between recalling the lyrics of Bon Jovi's song, "on a steel horse I ride," and a love for Harley Davidson stretching as far as America's roadways can take him, Santana turned his predicament into an invention.

"I saw my foot on the peg going down the highway and the idea came to me. People calle Harley Davidson motorcycles hogs for some reason, I've never understood it, but that's not what they are.
They're iron horses, the songwriter says they're steel horses," he said.
The moment he arrived back the Iron Works shop on Sixth Street he called to his son Dylan and started work to design his first "motorcycle stirrup."

"I've been tying steel since I was 16, it's all I have ever known, but I have also been riding motorcycles since I was 16," he said.

A few years ago he custom built a motorcycle with handle bars made of rebar, the steel rods used to strengthen concrete, but the stirrups would need stainless steel and a way to attach them to the bikes.

Santana got a stirrup from the Fort Western Store in Nebraska City, drilled space to fit the mount on a motorcycle crash bar and within two hours had his first motorcycle stirrup.

On his first ride with the new invention, Santana said he found they were more than just a novelty, but actually a safety improvement.

He said motorcycle riders have to keep their legs somewhat tense as their feet rest on the pegs. Over long distances, riders need to stretch their legs, but Santana said it poses a risk because a bump in the rode could cause their foot to slip. It cold be disastrous, he said, if their foot makes contact with the roadway below.

With the stirrup, he said, the foot has more support and the rider can stretch out with confidence and style.
He took his motorcycle and stirrups to Dillon Brothers Harley Davidson in Omaha and said he was thrilled with the reaction.
"They all came out and sat on the bike and put their feet in the stirrups. They said you have a million dollar idea here, you need to patent it," he said.

You can't patent the stirrup, which has been made since the domestication of the horse and used widely in medieval times, but Santana's invention has a locking mechanism so it can be adjusted to the rider's liking.

He said manufacturing the stirrups posed a new set of obstacles, primarily the discovering that stirrup manufacturing is usually done overseas.

Santana found a metal worker in Pickrell, Neb., Twisted Metal Works, and said he was relieved to achieve a product made entirely in America.
Santana is hoping his Motorycle Stirrups Inc. will have sales all around the world, but he has his smile beaming just to have them on the shelves at the Harley Davidson store.

"It's amazing to have something I made, something that comes right here from Nebraska City on the shelves at Harley Davidson," he said. "People are going to love these. They belong on a Harley," he said.

Jilted Bride Turns Wedding Into Party

34-year-old Teane Harris of Bensenville, Illinois had planned a big wedding, but it was called off when the groom backed out only a week before the big event. Harris and her mother were told it was too late to get their deposit back for the reception. What to do? Harris decided to use the facilities and all the wedding supplies to throw a party for the Asbury Court Retirement Community.

Just like that, the Halloween party planned for the 340 residents at Asbury Court turned into a lavish banquet, with a sumptuous meal, elegant flowers, sparkling masks right out of a masquerade ball, and a disc jockey who kept the mood lively.

"We knew we weren't going to be getting our money back," says Harris, during a phone interview from Hawaii, where she followed through with her honeymoon trip. "So after doing damage control and not wanting anything to go to waste, we looked for somebody who would benefit from it, and we saw the retirement center."

Asbury officials still marvel over the turn of events, and of the selfless act by Harris. On Friday, they mounted a marquis sign thank you to Harris to show their appreciation.

"It was out of the blue; she knows no one here," says Eric Haugan, resident services director. "And yet when she came to the party herself, she had all these grandmas wanting to give her a hug. She just broke down."

Wow, what a fantastic gesture. I think that this young woman and her family are a model of gracious behavior. So impressed! Wedding Supplies are not inexpensive and she turned what had to be a terribly hurtful situation into one that benefited others.

What a great idea and what a great way to make the best of a bad situation. Kudos to Teane Harris. I agree with Scotchdrnkr in that the best thing to happen to her was that idiot running out on her.

See-through Goldfish

Japanese researchers have succeeded in developing see through goldfish, whose beating hearts and other organs can be seen through their transluscent skin.  The move to develop see through goldfish (and other animals) was spurred by the desire to reduce/eliminate dissections of animals, still a sore point for many.

The joint team of researchers at Mie University and Nagoya University in central Japan produced the "ryukin" goldfish by picking mutant hatchery goldfish with pale skin and breeding them together.

"Having a pale colour is a disadvantage for goldfish in an aquarium but it's good to see how organs sit in a body three-dimensionally," Tamaru told AFP.

The fish are expected to live up to roughly 20 years and could grow as long as 25 centimetres (10 inches) and weigh more than two kilograms (five pounds), much bigger than other fish used in experiments, such as zebrafish and Japanese medaka, Tamaru said.

@ Larfin Jackarse:

I think they are talking in terms of Japanese beauty standards. They really love colorful fish, so I don't think this kind would be very popular in the pet industry unless very briefly and for novelty purposes.

That said, I'd want one and would love it to pieces.

I don't understand, why wouldn't they be safe in an aquarium. Of course I mean a home aquarium not a piranha aquarium.
“Having a pale colour is a disadvantage for goldfish in an aquarium..."

Same things breeders have been doing for forever now trying to get other characteristics.
Would love to see the transparent frog.

Neatorama Annual Meeting and Staff Party

YouTube link.

This past weekend the authors and administrative staff of Neatorama gathered for the organization's annual get-together.  After a brief business meeting, during which a proposed takeover by AOL was roundly voted down, participants adjourned to a "bonding" activity. For the third year in a row, Alex's staff (in the white T-shirts*), successfully defended the pole against Miss Cellania's writers' group (attired in traditional Kentucky blue).

The highlight of the evening was a dance competition for Neatorama authors, handily won by John Farrier.

Stephen King's Novels Summarized In 140 Characters Or Less

Stephen King is one of America’s most beloved authors, and his fan base has bridged the gap between horror aficionados and mainstream readers like nobody has before.

But what about those who are new to King’s dark world? It could take them years to read every book King has ever written, and who has time to read full length books?

Author and columnist Max Booth III took a note from Twitter and summarized each book in the Stephen King library using 140 characters or less, so people with short attention spans can catch up on their reading in about five minutes.

Now you can tell your King fan friends that the plot to Carrie is actually "The tale of a brave girl with telekinesis taking the Ice Water Challenge during prom", and that The Shining is simply a story where "A writer fights his family". It's so easy!

You can read all of Max's perfectly concise summarizations over at LitReactor

10-Year Old Calls 911 To Get Out of Going To Bed

When you were little how did you get out of going to bed? Ask for a glass or water? Complain that you had to use the restroom? Not a 10-year-old boy from Massachusetts. This little guy called 911.

According to Enterprise News a 10-year-old boy called 911 at 8:09 pm to complain about his Mother sending him to bed. The boy dialed the police, but hung up before talking to them. As per policy the police called the home back.

On the call, the mother is heard telling the boy that the police are on the line because he called them. The mother asks if he still wanted to talk to them and complain about his bedtime hour, but he didn't.

Justice League/Batman

Adrian Tullberg @ Fanfiction.Net
I had to be browbeaten into reading An Unusual Mission, even bribed with choice examples of hysterical dialogue. I didn't watch or read Justice League, my ideas of Wonder Woman still mostly revolved around Lynda Carter, and Batman needs therapy in the worst way. So why would I want to read a story about Bruce and Diana on a date at a charity do? Why would I laugh myself silly doing so? Why would I chortle in glee upon discovering that Adrian continued the one-shot, and fall desperately in love with the 'ship? Well... because it's good!!!! I assume the rest of it (largely comic or cartoon fic) is equally good.

David Hines @ Fanfiction.net
David just kills me -- he can write romance, humor and angst, all of which will bring you to your knees. In Escape Artistry, he grabs a bit of old Wonder Woman continuity -- that she loses her powers when bound by a man -- and uses it to set up a great story, as Batman sets out to teach her how to overcome that weakness. Yes, bondage is involved, yes, the UST runs high. But so does the humor, the solid fight scenes, and the genuinely dead-on characterization, right through to the ending. Measured Out in Coffee Spoons is compelling and heartbreaking, simply written but with exquisite pain running through every word. An Arkham patient has finally found a cure -- now he has to live with it. Or not. I cannot express the excellence of David's writing; check out everything he's ever produced.

Diversions and Digressions
In The Secret Thoughts of a Man, Green Lantern takes advantage of a stake-out to have a talk with Batman, which turns into a short, very well-executed character study of both GL and Bats. One of the better takes on GL I've run into; he's not my favorite, but this made me respect and almost like him. Mara Greengrass also gets into Bats' head very well -- not the easiest of jobs. There's also To Conquer Fear: Gil Grissom and Batman (Forensics Geeks R Us) defending Las Vegas from the Scarecrow with the help of, um, everyone. Written largely in email form, and nicely done.

Chapel of Love
Schmoopy, hilarious, often touching stories of a relationship between Wally West and Smallville's Chloe Sullivan, both as adults and as teenagers (in Sanctuary). These series' made me believe so strongly, my personal JLA:Animated canon includes this relationship. I can't find these archives anywhere anymore, so links are to the Wayback Machine; it's worth it.

Flash by Northwest by MerlinMissy and Dotfic
The Big Seven are mind-napped into a pulp detective novel; their only chance at escape is solving Vixen's murder before they all wind up dead. A great integration of the League (and their Issues) with the conventions of the 40s detective story; Bruce and Wally are especially awesome.

Haunted by Ugly_Girl
Wonder Woman discovers her teammate Batman has been cursed. Breaking it will be the death of her, but she's got help from an unexpected source....

Heart, Humble by brown_betty
I don't read DC comics; all I get from Batman canon are the comments and the fic others write. (Those comments are one of the reasons I don't read DC!). Despite that, I loved this story to death -- Tim Drake through his father's eyes, post discovery of Robin's secret identity. Jack's character was evidently massacred in the comics -- brown_betty's version is not Mr. Perfect, but is human, and loves his son. If you know the Bat-verse at all, this one is worth your time.

In Darkest Light by Meljean Brook
The problems of Bruce and Diana's relationship -- from saving the dimensions from the Joker to dealing with a completely unexpected attraction to each other -- are handled with no punches pulled. A satisfying, adult romance.

Someone Like You by Reichenbach
The Birds of Prey pilot presented a few annoying questions -- mostly, how Bruce never knew he had a daughter when he and Selena were living in New Gotham the whole time. This offers a plausible answer.

The Stolen Child by Merlin Missy
A painful, probable tale of three traumatized orphans, and their search for where and when they belong. The Batclan is beautifully and painfully portrayed, and both Green Lantern and Shayera are nicely drawn.

Batman Begins universe

The Longer You Stay by emiv
"Bruce Wayne was never meant to be part of Selina's clean slate. Then again, neither were a circus boy, a street rat or a rich kid. For a girl who didn't like strings, Selina found herself getting attached." Or, nothing can stop the BatFamily from forming. Very solid Selena POV; my heart melted at several points. KikiRec

Passing the Baton by quiet__tiger
Excellent post-Rises Blake, settling into his new role. Bonus!Lucius.

Q&A by Medie
Vicky Vale doesn't believe Bruce burned down Wayne Manor. Actually, there's a lot Vicki doesn't believe.... Really nice -- someone with a brain picking apart the holes in Batman's cover.

Managing Payroll across multiple companies and countries has always been difficult, and regardless of how global an organization is, it still has to pay its people locally. Wherever in the world the business holds its funds, it has a responsibility to pay its employees in the local currency and must tax its employees under the local rules.

Sage 300 ERP provides both U.S. and Canadian payroll processing out of the box or can be configured to work with local payroll systems. The added complexity of running multiple companies, subsidiaries, and multicurrency requirements are easily managed by Sage 300 ERP.

Hi Diana (m/c mentioned)

by EG

In past pregnancies, I was taking Lovenox, along with additional Folic acid and a B vitamin supplement (both for the MTHFR). I always (pg or not) take a baby aspirin daily (I was told by my hematologist to do that for the rest of my life). I've never had a clotting episode, I just pushed for the docs to do testing, and this is what they found. I don't even know if the clotting disorders had anything to do with the losses (at 8, 12 and 5 1/2 weeks).

I have an appt. with a perinatologist in 1 1/2 weeks (I hope that everything is okay until then). I heard that they use either Fragmin (similar to Lovenox) or Heparin, but I don't know what (if anything) they will recommend to me. I know that, if you have not had a clotting episode, they sometimes treat with baby aspirin only (which would make me nervous -- why take chances?).

If you'd like to e-mail me privately, feel free. Unfortunately, I'm not totally comfortable with my perinatologist practice, but they are the only one covered by my insurance. When I look at the FVL/pg boards (through Yahoo), the women seem to be much more carefully monitored.

Take care, and good luck,
