Bat for Lashes Drop iTunes EP With Plaid RemixMuch like the flying rodents after which she's named, Natasha Khan and her Bat for Lashes have snuck up on us all unexpected-like.
The lovely "What's a Girl to Do?" from her similarly lovely Fur and Gold LP made its way to iTunes today as part of an exclusive EP featuring the original song, a remix thereof from Plaid, and a live take on "The Wizard" from a recent gig in New York City. The much-lauded, previously Forkcasted "Girl" video comes bundled with the thing, too, should you or your media device be tiring of that Feist vid. Perish the thought.
As for Khan, she's taking a rare break from the road at the moment. Whatever for, you ask? Why, "working on writing the next album," of course. [MORE...]
Michael Showalter Talks Sandwiches, State Reunion
"I think within the next two years, you will be hearing about a State movie. In the vein of a Monty Python film, which is to say a sketch comedy film. Like The Meaning of Life or something."
Pitchfork's (and a whole bunch of other people's) interest piqued, I called Showalter to talk to him about the reunion and all of the other things he has on his plate at the moment. In addition to the obvious stuff (the reunion, his album, his tour with fellow State member and frequent collaborator Michael Ian Black), we talked about hecklers, the Writers Guild of America strike, and his relationship with Sandwiches producer and former Shudder to Think frontman Craig Wedren. And yeah, sue me, I talked to yet another person about baseball.
Pitchfork: Are you and Michael [Ian Black] performing on stage together at all on this tour?
Michael Showalter: No, no. Not really. We're traveling together, but we're not performing together.
Pitchfork: Have you influenced each other's sets indirectly in any way? Any sabotage, intentional or unintentional?
MS: I think so. No sabotage, but I think we feed off of each other in certain ways.
Pitchfork: What sorts of ways?
MS: Mostly we eat food off of each other's stomachs and stuff like that.
Pitchfork: Do you clean it up before you go on stage, or do you just leave it on your stomachs?
MS: We try to, but sometimes there's no time.
Pitchfork: So you gotta work on the fly?
MS: Yeah. And I go up first, so I'm usually a little messier.
Pitchfork: You go up first?
MS: Yeah. I open.
Pitchfork: How was that decided?
MS: Well, Mike is sort of the headliner because he's more famous than me. He just has a lot more exposure than I do. He's a more recognizable face than I am. So like, when I'm traveling with Michael, I would say that for every ten people [who recognize] Michael, eight of them also [know] who I [am].
Pitchfork: So it's like he is 25% more popular than you, is what you're saying?
MS: He is probably a little bit more like-- and popular is also not the right word. He's just more famous. He's probably 30% more famous than me. [MORE...]
Included on Atlas are two 10+ minute tracks, "Atlas One" (recently featured in Forkcast) and "Atlas Two". The physical release will be the only place you can get these tracks, since they will not be available digitally.
Hecker has a couple shows left this year, starting December 6 in Lausanne, Switzerland. He's also working on a full-length follow-up to Harmony in Ultraviolet for a forthcoming release on Kranky. [MORE...]
The Mountain Goats Reveal New AlbumPhoto by Kyle Gustafson
Let's let John Darnielle explain just why Heretic Pride, the forthcoming billionth LP from his Mountain Goats, will see the light February 19 from 4AD, and not a moment sooner:
"We are really excited about this album, and we wish it were out right now, but there is a law against releasing albums in December unless you are Queen. Any album you see released in December is actually by Queen, no matter what it says on the cover. Then in January everybody is recovering from having listened to too much Queen. Hence, February. See you then!"
Heretic Pride arrives with the mark of guest appearances by St. Vincent's Annie Clark, Superchunk's Jon Wurster, Peter Hughes (naturally), old pal Franklin Bruno, Erik Friedlander, and the Bright Mountain Choir. The disc was produced by John Vanderslice and Scott Solter at Prairie Sun Studio, and features artwork from longtime 4AD fave Vaughan Oliver.
While you wait, you've got a few shots at hearing the new stuff live at a handful of Mountain Goats dates over the next few weeks. They've also got that post-Queen-hangover set at this spring's Noise Pop festival, which we reported earlier today. [MORE...]
Wu-Tang Clan Plot Winter Diagrams Tour
Ghostface lands cameo in Iron Man film
Face it, the Wu is back; following close on the heels of the December 11 release of their while-in-the-making 8 Diagrams LP, the RZA, the GZA, Inspectah Deck, etc. will take to the stages of this fair country on a full-bore Wu-Tang Clan tour.
They have eleven shows lined up right now, but more dates can be expected to follow-- and given the notoriously inexact way these guys do things, you'll want to re-check the venue website before you head out to any of these shows. Still, barring incident, all your guys (and, dollars to donuts, Cappadonna and some jokers from the Brooklyn Zoo) will reform like Voltron live onstage over the next couple months. And when that happens, it's always something to behold.
In other news from the Wu, Ghost's Big Doe Rehab seems to be shaping up quite nicely. Nicer than my throne of money, anyway. And speaking of Ghost, the rapper will soon blow meta minds with a cameo in the forthcoming filmic adaptation of the Iron Man comic book series, according to an MTV.com report. [MORE...]
Dresden Dolls Tour, Amanda Palmer Goes Solo on LP
Palmer solo disc produced by Ben Folds
Quoth Doll Amanda Palmer via press release: "We're planning on a simple, stripped-down, go-out-on-stage-destroy kind of show. Of course, I always say that and we wind up with a ton of people on stage, doing weird things. How does that always happen?" Dunno, but you can do weird things beginning December 27 in D.C.
Seems Palmer's got quite a bit to say of late. Amanda's solo debut, Who Killed Amanda Palmer, is due early next year. Produced by piano man Ben Folds, the album has apparently transformed from a simple solo joint to, as Amanda puts it, a "full-production monster."
The in-process disc will feature tracks "Don't Take Flowers", "Night Reconnaissance", "Awful Detail", "The Mouse & the Model", and "Blake Says", though it sounds like pretty much everything else about it is up in the air at this point. Pester Amanda for progress reports if you please at one of her forthcoming solo shows, kicking off this weekend and listed after the jump.
Oh, and the Dolls have a characteristically off-kilter merchandizing thing going on, too. It's called Post War Trade, and it's a call for designers and doodlers alike to submit logos and the like to potentially be printed on official Dresden Dolls merch. Besides fame, glory, and so forth, a hefty portion of proceeds from sales of the selected stuff will go to the original artists. [MORE...]
The Walkmen Stroll Into 2008 With Live DatesPhoto by Natalie Kardos
The Walkmen, as their name would suggest, are males of action. And so, having primarily busied themselves of late with work on their follow-up to last year's one-two punch-- which their website claims should be done by year's end, with a release in the spring-- Ham and company have lined up a brief January tour to stave off boredom and stretch those legs proper-like. Busy: it's the only way they know.
That album might come a little faster than expected now that the band's scheduled appearance at the Corona Music Fest December 1 is off, pending rescheduling. It appears the Corona folks failed to consider the disruptive nature of all the hot soccer action going on in Mexico City that weekend and have moved the event to a TBD date in spring 2008.
Still good to go, barring an infestation of cartoon alligators: Langerado Festival, where the band will perform in early March. [MORE...]
Photos: Peter Moren (of Peter Bjorn and John) [New York, NY; 11/19/07]Photos by Kathryn Yu
What do you get when you subtract the B&J from PB&J? Typically, a crunchy nut that would hardly befit a sandwich by itself. But of course, we're not talking about nuts, but rather Peter Morén of Swedish popsmiths Peter Bjorn and John, who played a solo gig last night at New York City's Joe's Pub.
The butter showed up for the encore, as PB&J bandmate Björn Yttling joined in on piano and Morén rolled through Writer's Block anthem "Objects of My Affection". Strings were also enlisted for a few tunes, and Morén even treated the gathered to a cover of one of the biggest international hits ever to emerge from Scandinavia, a-ha's unstoppable "Take on Me".
As previously reported, Morén is putting together a solo album too. He'll rejoin B and J later this week for a full-on American tour, with the Besnard Lakes playing support, and also duck out for one more solo NYC date next month. Those tour dates, plus more P solo shots, lie just ahead.
Joe Lally/Capillary Action Gear Stolen in San FranciscoFugazi's Joe Lally and Philly's Capillary Action were enjoying a nice stop over in San Francisco following a shared gig on their current tour when tragedy struck. November 16, between the hours of 3-10 a.m. on the corner of Valencia Street and Clinton Park, someone broke into Capillary Action's tour van and grabbed a few things without asking permission first. And they were:
Roland KC350 Amp with bent corner
Yamaha S03 Keyboard with cracked side
Alesis QS7 Keyboard
Sharp VLNZ50U MiniDV Recorder with 3" Color LCD Screen (you'll find footage from a November 15 show in Palo Alto inside)
The joint tour continues tonight in Olympia. Lally has also lined up a round of February 2008 dates. [MORE...]
NIN Remix Site Halted by Universal Music GroupA little more than a month or so back, we spilled what we could on Nine Inch Nails' mysterious Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D LP. The disc in all its forms is out today (November 20), but the accompanying website-- remix.nin.com, designed as a hub for submission and discussion of fan remixes-- might as well be a LOLcat at this point.
Seems "The Man"-- played, in this instance, by Doug Morris and his Universal Music Group-- doesn't want Trent and company R3M1Xing sans regulation while the project is being hosted by Universal. And, since Universal owns all the Nine Inch Nails master tapes (recall that NIN's former label Interscope falls under the Universal umbrella), the project is contingent upon their agreement.
In essence, the notoriously litigious Universal Music Group doesn't want to appear to be backing a copyright-disgregarding free-for-all when they've been spending so much time squelching such behavior elsewhere. They're not so much worried about Nine Inch Nails tunes becoming the subject of silly mashups as they are appearing like hypocrites (and, naturally, getting sued) for infringing on the copyrights of the other artists and songwriters who may be sampled or mashed by the Nine Inch Nails loyal.
As Trent writes in a statement on the NIN site (linked via Stereogum), "Universal feels that if they host our remix site, they will be opening themselves up to the accusation that they are sponsoring the same technical violation of copyright they are suing [YouTube and MySpace] for. Their premise is that if any fan decides to remix one of my masters with material Universal doesn't own-- a 'mash-up', a sample, whatever-- and upload it to the site, there is no safe harbor under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (according to Universal) and they will be doing exactly what MySpace and YouTube are doing. This behavior may get hauled out in court and impact their lawsuit."
Universal are willing to let Nine Inch Nails host the remix site, provided Trent's willing to take legal responsibility should any problems arise. In addition, Reznor writes, "part of the arrangement is having user licenses that the fans sign (not unlike those on MySpace or YouTube) saying they will not use unauthorized materials. If they WERE to do such a thing, everybody sues everybody and the world abruptly ends." Hyperbole, perhaps, but Trent's still mulling this one over, and as such, the "cool and innovative site" they have ready to launch is presently in limbo. "More to come" is the only indication of when we can expect the situation to change.
Gang of Four Share Demos, Plan EPThey must've put something in the water earlier this month at Seattle's MusicTech 07 conference, as something's gotten into Gang of Four bassist Dave Allen. Ever since he returned from Seattle, Allen's blog has been full of musings on the state of the industry, plenty of talk regarding the In Rainbows model, and-- best of all-- chatter about a new Gang of Four project, complete with demos.
Allen seems to be mulling over just what form these new recordings will take; he spoke with us over a year ago about a new LP, but he seems to be coming around to the notion that the album-- or, at least, the compact disc format-- is kaput. For the moment, the Gang plan to put together a four-song digital EP in the spirit of their original release, 1978's Damaged Goods EP. Allen, meanwhile, has crafted an entertaining, astute list of eight criteria the project will hopefully adhere to, which you can read here.
Rule #5: "It's imperative that we give away MP3s." And so Allen has, with new jams-in-progress "Second Life", a couple different versions of "Password", and the promise of "Faking It", "American Man", and another version of "Second Life" (working titles, all) on the way next week.
Naturally, we'll let you know just where they're going with this once they figure it out. As for other plans, the Gang's website suggests a tour is in the works for next year, though those dates have yet to emerge.
The Kooks Head to the U.S. on Tour
It was those same Kooks from that one stupid photo shoot
"Fresh out of the studio" with producer Tony Hoffer-- who helped them concoct the follow-up to last year's Inside In/Inside Out, due in spring 2008 from Astralwerks-- the band has a single gig before heading to the States: a November 24 session in London to support the Mencap charity. [MORE...]

In his analysis of barter between coastal and inland villages in the Trobriand Islands, Keith Hart highlighted the difference between highly ceremonial gift exchange between community leaders, and the barter that occurs between individual households. The haggling that takes place between strangers is possible because of the larger temporary political order established by the gift exchanges of leaders. From this he concludes that barter is "an atomized interaction predicated upon the presence of society" (i.e. that social order established by gift exchange), and not typical between complete strangers.[14]
Throughout the 18th century, retailers began to abandon the prevailing system of bartering. Retailers operating out of the Palais complex in Paris, France were among the first in Europe to abandon the bartering, and adopt fixed-prices thereby sparing their clientele the hassle of bartering. The Palais retailers stocked luxury goods that appealed to the wealthy elite and upper middle classes. Stores were fitted with long glass exterior windows which allowed the emerging middle-classes to window shop and indulge in fantasies, even when they may not have been able to afford the high retail prices. Thus, the Palais-Royal became one of the first examples of a new style of shopping arcade, which adopted the trappings of a sophisticated, modern shopping complex and also changed pricing structures, for both the aristocracy and the middle classes.[18]
Simmons learned how to ask after one Barter Babe, a veteran barterer, told her she needed to post a wish list. Following the advice, she eventually got not just one bike but two (one for her and one for Matt), a TTC pass, yoga lessons, a haircut and food she wanted to eat, among hundreds of other things. Simmons made exceptions for some unique trades, too, such as both circus performance training and butter churning lessons, the latter of which she now barters as a skill to others. She even worked up the nerve to approach local businesses in person, armed with a business case for barter. One café near her apartment traded a month's worth of morning coffee for a financial session; a boutique hotel, Hotel Ocho at Queen and Spadina, took a financial seminar luncheon for its employees in return for an overnight stay for Simmons's parents, who were celebrating their 35th anniversary.
Corporate barter focuses on larger transactions, which is different from a traditional, retail oriented barter exchange. Corporate barter exchanges typically use media and advertising as leverage for their larger transactions. It entails the use of a currency unit called a "trade-credit". The trade-credit must not only be known and guaranteed, but also be valued in an amount the media and advertising could have been purchased for had the "client" bought it themselves (contract to eliminate ambiguity and risk).[citation needed]
Inevitably some people may feel like they were taken advantage of. One way to diminish inequities is to engage in dollar-for-dollar trades. For example, if you would like to trade your housecleaning service for someone's couch, try to break down the goods and services to the dollar amount. If the two of you decide that the value of the couch is worth $200, why don't you supply a gift certificate for $200 worth of housecleaning services? It's a wise course and ensures all parties know what they are getting and what they are offering.

The Owenite socialists in Britain and the United States in the 1830s were the first to attempt to organize barter exchanges. Owenism developed a "theory of equitable exchange" as a critique of the exploitative wage relationship between capitalist and labourer, by which all profit accrued to the capitalist. To counteract the uneven playing field between employers and employed, they proposed "schemes of labour notes based on labour time, thus institutionalizing Owen's demand that human labour, not money, be made the standard of value."[16] This alternate currency eliminated price variability between markets, as well as the role of merchants who bought low and sold high. The system arose in a period where paper currency was an innovation. Paper currency was an I.O.U. circulated by a bank (a promise to pay, not a payment in itself). Both merchants and an unstable paper currency created difficulties for direct producers.
Anthropologists have argued, in contrast, "that when something resembling barter does occur in stateless societies it is almost always between strangers, people who would otherwise be enemies."[6] Barter occurred between strangers, not fellow villagers, and hence cannot be used to naturalisticly explain the origin of money without the state. Since most people engaged in trade knew each other, exchange was fostered through the extension of credit.[4][7] Marcel Mauss, author of 'The Gift', argued that the first economic contracts were to not act in one's economic self-interest, and that before money, exchange was fostered through the processes of reciprocity and redistribution, not barter.[8] Everyday exchange relations in such societies are characterized by generalized reciprocity, or a non-calculative familial "communism" where each takes according to their needs, and gives as they have.[9]

Adam Smith, the father of modern economics, sought to demonstrate that markets (and economies) pre-existed the state, and hence should be free of government regulation. He argued (against conventional wisdom) that money was not the creation of governments. Markets emerged, in his view, out of the division of labour, by which individuals began to specialize in specific crafts and hence had to depend on others for subsistence goods. These goods were first exchanged by barter. Specialization depended on trade, but was hindered by the "double coincidence of wants" which barter requires, i.e., for the exchange to occur, each participant must want what the other has. To complete this hypothetical history, craftsmen would stockpile one particular good, be it salt or metal, that they thought no one would refuse. This is the origin of money according to Smith. Money, as a universally desired medium of exchange, allows each half of the transaction to be separated.[2]
For example, the market for national security payloads and NASA missions (James Webb is a notable exception, bartered between NASA and ESA) are typically closed to Arianespace. — Eric Berger, Ars Technica, "As the SpaceX steamroller surges, European rocket industry vows to resist," 20 July 2018 Friends told the British press that Rowley would often search dumpsters for items to barter or sell. — William Booth, Anchorage Daily News, "Woman exposed to nerve agent in southern England dies; police launch murder investigation," 9 July 2018 Anyone who unlawfully captures or kills a big game animal and then sells or barters the animal is guilty of a felony. — Dustin Gardiner, azcentral, "10 Arizona laws that actually exist: Private armies, food-wasting ban, windshield repairs," 27 June 2018 This early depiction suggests that although chocolate was being bartered at this point, it may not have been traded as a form of currency, Baron says. — Joshua Rapp Learn, Science | AAAS, "The Maya civilization used chocolate as money," 27 June 2018 To generate publicity, the cash is handed out at ceremonies held in the weekly roadside markets where villagers gather to barter meager fish hauls for goods like plastic buckets or quart bottles of gasoline. — New York Times, "Nearly Eradicated in Humans, the Guinea Worm Finds New Victims: Dogs," 18 June 2018 Prize is not transferable or redeemable for cash and may not be sold, bartered or auctioned. — Union-tribune Rewards, sandiegouniontribune.com, "Enter to Win Two Tickets to San Diego Legion's Inaugural Rugby Season as well as a gift certificate to Hundred Proof!," 11 May 2018 Others report punishment for having hoarded, rationed or bartered for menstrual products. — refinery29.com, "Meghan Markle Has Championed Menstrual Equity — Here's Why You Should Too," 21 May 2018 As the city bartered for water with local farmers and hustled to build desalination plants, its residents simply started using less water. — Ryan Lenora Brown, The Christian Science Monitor, "Squeezing more out of taps: How Cape Town cut consumption in half," 30 Apr. 2018

While Swapsity trades are facilitated online, its participants can be seen in real life at themed in-person swap meets as well as the annual Live Green Toronto Festival. Over the past three years, more than 25,000 items—primarily clothes, books, CDs and DVDs—have been swapped at its events, collectively saving people roughly $200,000. About 5,000 items have been donated to charity. On average, each participant saves $80 at every swap (the value of items they go home with and would have otherwise bought). This year's Live Green event was packed despite the grey July weather: until it started to rain heavily in the late afternoon, lineups to get into the six swapping tents spanned the full length of the waiting area, then folded in on themselves like accordions. Even in the rain, the leaking tents bustled.
In England, about 30 to 40 cooperative societies sent their surplus goods to an "exchange bazaar" for direct barter in London, which later adopted a similar labour note. The British Association for Promoting Cooperative Knowledge established an "equitable labour exchange" in 1830. This was expanded as the National Equitable Labour Exchange in 1832 on Grays Inn Road in London.[21] These efforts became the basis of the British cooperative movement of the 1840s. In 1848, the socialist and first self-designated anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon postulated a system of time chits. In 1875, Karl Marx wrote of "Labor Certificates" (Arbeitszertifikaten) in his Critique of the Gotha Program of a "certificate from society that [the labourer] has furnished such and such an amount of labour", which can be used to draw "from the social stock of means of consumption as much as costs the same amount of labour."[22]
No, said Mises, for if taken back far enough, there comes a point at which money first emerges as a medium of exchange out of a pure barter economy Prior to this, it is valued only for its non-monetary uses as a commodity The demand for money is therefore pushed back to the last day of barter, where goods are traded only in direct exchange, and where the temporal element of the regression theorem ends It is in this way that all charges of circularity are obviated.
Men from the visiting group sit quietly while women of the opposite moiety come over and give them cloth, hit them, and invite them to copulate. They take any liberty they choose with the men, amid amusement and applause, while the singing and dancing continue. Women try to undo the men's loin coverings or touch their penises, and to drag them from the "ring place" for coitus. The men go with their … partners, with a show of reluctance to copulate in the bushes away from the fires which light up the dancers. They may give the women tobacco or beads. When the women return, they give part of this tobacco to their own husbands.

Debts in the wir currency, assigned the same value as the Swiss franc, could be paid with sales to any member of the bartering circle: if a baker needed to "purchase" eggs and flour from a farmer, the baker could pay off the debt by "selling" baked goods to another wir member. The farmer, in turn, could use his newly acquired credit to "buy" his own needed items or services. Despite a bank-led campaign to discredit the system, wir stuck. Today, it has more than 60,000 business participants and does the equivalent of about $4.4 billion in annual trade.
Check online swap markets and online auctions that have a bartering component such as Craigslist.com (check under "For Sale" for the Bartering category), Swapace.com, SwapThing.com, Barterquest.com, U-Exchange.com, Trashbank.com and Ourswaps.com. Check for local bartering clubs. Your local Chamber of Commerce may be able to provide you with information on similar clubs in your area.

Dev got too involved with himself: Waheeda RehmanDecember 6th, 2011 - 11:33 pm ICT by IANS
Mumbai, Dec 6 (IANS) The ethereal Waheeda Rehman missed the opportunity to meet her co-star Dev Anand one last time, but fondly remembers him as a good producer. She, however, feels in recent times he got too involved with himself.
"Without meaning any disrespect to him, I'd like to say that as the years went by Dev's script sense went more and more haywire. I think he got too involved with himself. Dev was a very good producer. But he needed to look out for better scripts," said Waheeda.
When told her that she was Dev Anand's favourite actress, she laughed and said: "That was nice of him. We did share a very easy and warm working relationship. When he turned director with 'Prem Pujari', I was in the film, of course."
She almost didn't do her most iconic film "Guide", but thanks to Dev Anand's persuasiveness, she became part of the film that she is proud of.
Reminiscing about 'Dev' from Bangalore, Waheeda said: " 'Guide' is not just my most iconic film. It is also Dev's most celebrated work. Yes, you can act as shocked as you like. But the fact is I almost didn't do 'Guide'."
"Hua yun ke, shuroo mein director Raj Khosla the. Raj Khosla and I had a difference of opinion during an earlier film. I never worked with him after that. And I wasn't willing to change that for 'Guide' or any other film. But you know how persuasive Dev was. He called up and said,'Come on, Waheeda. Let bygone be bygones. Everyone makes mistakes.' But I refused to budge. I asked Dev why his brother Goldie (Vijay Anand) wasn't directing. But Goldie was busy with 'Tere Ghar Ke Samne'."
"Eventually, Raj Khosla was replaced by Chetan Anand. But he didn't want me! I laughed. Yeh to achcha hua. One director I didn't want and the other director didn't want me. I think Chetan Saab wanted Priya Rajvanshji. But Dev was adamant. They needed a dancer. And Priyaji couldn't dance. Eventually, Goldie directed 'Guide'. That's how I got 'Guide'. The rest, you know. It's a film I'm very proud of."
Waheeda did seven films with Dev Anand, incluidng "Solva Saal", "Kala Bazar" and his directorial debut "Prem Pujari".
"So you can imagine our comfort level. In fact, my very first film in Hindi 'C.I.D.' was with Dev Anand. I was a big fan of Dev Anand and Madhubala. So can you imagine my excitement and nervousness at doing a film with him."
"On the very first day on the sets, when I called him 'Dev saab' he turned around and said 'No no, call me Dev'. I couldn't bring myself to call him by his first name, that wasn't my upbringing. So I suggested I call him 'Anandji'. He glared at me and said, 'Do I look like a schoolteacher to you?' The next day when I called him 'Dev saab', he looked around as though he didn't know whom I was addressing. I had to finally call him 'Dev'. And 'Dev' he remained until the end," she said.
However, she wasn't much in touch with Dev saab in his later years.
"I got married and left for Bangalore. Then one day I got a call from Dev inviting me to the premier of the colourised version of 'Hum Dono'. I excused myself, saying I had a prior engagement. Dev asked me, 'How many films have you done with me?' I said seven. Then he asked how many of these are for the Navketan. I said, three. He retorted, 'Then, Navketan is like your home banner. How can you not be here for such a big moment for Navketan? Cancel your other engagement, and be there'."
"Unfortunately I couldn't be there. So, I couldn't meet him one last time," she said.

Time and budget are the biggest constraints of every project. Now, the goal of the project management is to finish and accomplish the project with a stipulated time and budget.
While a project manager is a professional who plans and organizes resources and personnel. They must make sure they complete the project on time and within budget. They must also ensure that the project meets the requirements of the business. Project managers exist in all industries and every type of organization. They may be contractors, managers, employees, or independent consultants.
The project management should effectively utilize all the limited resources provided by an organization. Although some projects have all the complete resources, such as skilled people, materials, budget plan, and so on, it is still important that the project management should make the most out of this resources.
Project management, therefore, is the application of techniques, tools, skills, and knowledge to make sure all project requirements are met. Until the middle of the last century, project management was an informal activity.

Product reviews...
After spending many years abusing my face by assualting it with cheap razors and soap in order to tame the rampant growth, I started to use razors that didn't fit in the El Cheapo-matic category. I have never really enjoyed the standard 'electric shavers', always having preferred the finished result of a blade of some kind.
As a bit of an experiment, I bought two of the leading razors, and pit them against each other, half a face each. I assigned this unit to my left side, and a razor I had used before to the right side. I was looking for such comparisons as number of strokes until the visible stubble was gone, resulting smoothness, any irritation of the skin, any apparent cuts, ease of use and cleaning, and just an overall 'how good a job' each did.
Alas, despite this unit touting all sorts of enhancements and design improvements over it's competitor, it just didn't match up. The blades are woven with ultra-fine wires, which apparently are supposed to prevent the blades warping and slicing you, but all I found was that the severed hairs just wrapped themselves around the wires, preventing removal and thus interfering with the shave.
I also found that this unit left a lot of small stubble, giving that oh-so-UNsexy sandpaper feel, and was clearly visible within 48 hours, whereas the other unit did a much better job. I had to reshave with the better unit, because let's face it, it looks strange if a guy has half a faceload of stubble... in left-profile, I looked like a hungover drunk!
Overall, I found this unit to be substandard for my needs, and I am hard-pressed to imagine a combination of skin- & hair-types which would somehow enhance this unit's performance. Don't waste your time, go for the better unit and save yourself the sand-blasted shoulders feeling in the morning.

Then and now - racing against the odds; SID CROSS HAD A HEART CONDITION YET HE COMPETED IN THE 1948 OLYMPIC GAMES - ON SUNDAY GLYNN TROMANS, WHO HAD HEART SURGERY, RUNS IN THE WORLD CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIP.
THE day 12-year-old Sid Cross came home from school and collapsed on the floor, his family just prayed for his survival.
Afterwards no-one thought the boy, who had a serious heart condition and bad bronchitis, was likely to thrive.
So it came as a huge surprise when, in his late teens, Sid suddenly became an athlete - and went to on to compete in the 1948 Olympic Games.
Sid's family, friends and neighbours were all gathered around their wireless sets listening to how their boy performed and willing him to succeed.
"They were all very proud," recalls Sid, now aged 77. "Not just my family but the people round about were pleased to think a lad from their street was at Wembley, competing alongside athletes like Bannister and Chattaway. It was a big thrill."
And it all came about because of the cursory medical examination that passed Sid with flying colours to join the forces during the Second World War.
"I didn't tell them about my bad heart or the bronchitis, which was pretty serious in those days," he says. "And when I went home and told my Dad I was passed fit he couldn't believe it. So I joined the Fleet Air Arm when I was 17 and it was the best thing that ever happened to me."
Sid, who lives in Stretton-on-Dunsmore, says the regular exercise and fresh air did him good and his health problems seemed to disappear.
The illness, that at one time had restricted his schooling to just an hour a day and threatened to make him a life-long invalid, never returned.
"We had to run a mile and a quarter around the camp at Warrington as part of training and I found myself way out in front. It was the first time I realised I could run," recalls Sid.
"It was all part of basic training but I was much faster than the other chaps."
Sid's Navy officers spotted he was a natural athlete and picked him to represent the Fleet Air Arm. And when he was demobbed his father took over his training and he joined Birchfield Harriers athletics club.
His successes at county and national level, including breaking the English triple jump record, culminated in his selection for the Olympic Games at Wembley, where he achieved sixth place with a triple jump of more than 47ft.
But although Birchfield Harriers set him on the road to a brilliant athletics career, Sid says he has a more important reason to thank the club.
"I met my wife, Irene, on the running track there," he says. "She was a road walker then but she gave it up when we had the children. She was a very good athlete and a better wife."
Sid, whose wife Irene died in 1994, has three children, and there are now grandchildren and a great grandchild. So far none look like following in Sid's athletics tracks but they are proud to know he held the English triple jump record for over 21 years.
His record-winning jump was 48ft 8in and his unofficial personal best was 51ft 2 inches. He retired in 1956 having made more than 35 international appearances.
"I ran with Bannister and Chattaway, and met quite a few famous people including royalty from here and Europe," he says. "I didn't win a medal at the Olympics but it was a wonderful experience."
GLYNN TROMANS marked his 34th birthday last week with an eight- mile run as part of his training regime for the World Cross-Country Championships in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Sunday.
Two weeks after that he will compete in the European 10,000m on the track in Athens, where he is also hoping to take part in the Olympics next year.
It's a remarkable story for the runner from Haynstone Road, Coundon, who in 1996 underwent two operations to seal an extra valve in his heart.
"Through my early 20s my running career was stop-start because of various injuries and when I came through those, I had some medical problems which turned out to be a heart problem," he says.
After a lot of investigations he underwent heart surgery.
But just 10 months later made his international athletics debut.
"It effectively gave me a new lease of life," says Glynn. "It was not a life-threatening condition but a career-threatening condition from an athletics point of view.
"I was perfectly prepared to have the surgery but I'm sure at the time it was traumatic for my wife and my family. I just saw it as something I had to do to keep running.
"The first operation didn't work so I had a second one about six weeks later.
"Since then it's cleared up and I've not looked back really and have been part of the British athletics scene."
Glynn, a member of the Coventry Godiva Harriers club, is running about 100 miles a week in preparation for the 12km World Cross-Country Championships.
He often runs with his seven-year-old dog, Morris, an Australian Kelpie which he and his wife Lisa got from a rescue centre. Appropriately enough Australian Kelpie's are herding dogs, bred for endurance, and Glynn found Morris could run with him.
He believes the importance of the World Cross-Country Championships can't be stressed enough because it acts as a great leveller for runners from the various long distance disciplines.
He says: "The guy who wins that race can claim to be the best distance runner in the world, it's different even to something like an Olympic final. Everyone comes into the same event and it's a big deal."
Glynn attended Walsgrave CE Primary School and then Caludon Castle School where he had his introduction to athletics.
"Since I was a kid I've been running in Coventry," he says. "The reality is I love the sport. I did my first race in a Coventry primary schools cross-country championships when I was about 10 - I certainly didn't win it.
"To go from that point to 25 years later, where I'm a British champion and about to go off to my 13th major championship, it's a long journey. But I wouldn't make that journey unless I loved the sport."
Before concentrating on athletics, Glynn, who has a business degree from what is now Coventry University and an MSc in recreational management from Loughborough University, drifted into lecturing.
He was at Tile Hill College - now City College Coventry - for about six years, teaching marketing and business programmes and working on sport and leisure courses.
Then in 1998 he was selected for the Commonwealth Games at 10,000m and gave up his job. He says the backing of his wife Lisa, a senior crime and alcohol officer for the Swanswell Trust charity, has been imperative in helping his athletics career.
"Lisa's very supportive of what I do and is obviously the main money earner in the house as well - to a degree she subsidises what I do," he says.
For the past 10 months though he has worked part-time as an athletics development officer for Greater Warwickshire Sport, based at Warwick University, helping to bring in some money while giving him enough time to continue training.
Glynn's work centres around giving youngsters the chance to get involved in athletics when they wouldn't normally have the opportunity.
He currently operates four 10-week programmes - in Coventry, Leamington, Rugby and Nuneaton - for children either in their final year at primary school or their first year at secondary school.
"I find it really interesting, having been involved in this sport since I was a little kid," he says. "It gives a totally new insight into sport and the problems it faces.
"I've got more than 100 kids now doing athletics who otherwise wouldn't and the feedback has been very positive.
"A lot of people do athletics in a slightly older age group and do it for fitness purposes. It's interesting and exciting to see kids getting involved - it's about having fun."
He works with most of the main clubs across the area and the Greater Warwickshire Youth Games is run by the organisation. But on Sunday Glynn will turn his attention to doing battle in Lausanne for the World Cross- Country Championship title.
And after that? His burning ambition is to qualify to compete in the 10,000m at next year's Olympics in its spiritual home, Athens.
He says: "In 1996 I probably was not good enough but that's when I had heart surgery, in 2000 I had a virus, so in 2004 I will be 35 and that's going to be my last opportunity to compete in the Olympics.
"It's not going to be much better than that - running in the Olympics in Athens - and that would be a great place to stop at this level.
"I've not made any fixed decisions but while I enjoy it, I will keep running."
AT the height of his athletics career Sid Cross was training for two to three hours, three times a week. He worked full time to earn a living and his personal trainer was his dad, who had no sports experience but just an interest in Sid's progress.
"He always used to insist that I wore tracksuit trousers when training. He said I would never pull a muscle if I kept them warm - and I never did," he says.
Sid worked at Wolsey Cars in Birmingham and later at General Foods in Banbury, Birmingham Social Services and as a school caretaker.
Athletics never made him any money and competitors had to provide all their own running kit and shoes.
"We were proper true amateurs. When we ran for a prize it would be a clock or a set of cutlery, that type of thing," says Sid. "If you were invited to compete in London you had to save your railway ticket and hand it in to get your money back."
Sometimes his bosses would give him time off for an event but if a competition was several days he would have to take annual leave.
In the run-up to the Olympics the athletes were given extra ration cards so they could eat a little more meat and milk to build up strength.
The Olympic "village" in 1948 was a Butlin's seaside holiday camp and the athletes were issued with white trousers, an Olympic blazer and a beret for the opening ceremony.
They were also given a tracksuit and treated to free drinks of Ovaltine.
On the day of the opening ceremony boy scouts looked after the needs of the athletes waiting to enter the arena.
"It was a very hot day and I remember they kept giving the British team water and not bothering much about the others!" he says.
His national record for the triple jump was 48ft 8in (equivalent of 14.85 metres) and stood for 21 years. His unofficial best was 51ft 2in.
Today's record holder for the triple jump is Jonathan Edwards with a jump of 18.29 metres achieved in 1995.
Sid now suffers brittle bones in his arm and arthritis in his knees - the legacy of his athletics days - but would not change a thing.
"I had the opportunity and I loved it," he says.
GLYNN'S TRAINING SCHEDULE IN 2003 GLYNN trains 12 to 13 times a week - running about 100 miles - and won the National Cross Country Championships in 2000 by a record margin.
He is the UK cross country champion and is about to become the first Briton to compete in his seventh consecutive World Championship.
His typical day is:
Alarm goes off at 6.15am.
Has a drink and goes on eight-mile run.
Takes wife, Lisa, to work for about 9am.
Works until about 1.30pm before going home for a rest.
Takes dog, Morris, for a walk.
Picks Lisa up from work.
Has another early evening training session before finishing about at about 9pm.

Edin Dzeko strengthens Roma's top 4 hopes
Roma's Edin Dzeko suspended two games for conduct
Edin Dzeko has been handed a two-game ban for unsporting behaviour in Roma's Coppa Italia clash with Fiorentina on Wednesday, although the referee did not say that he had been spat at.
Dzeko was given his marching orders 20 minutes from the end of a game the Giallorossi lost 7-1 after making a gesture towards referee Gianluca Manganiello. Soon after, images were doing the rounds on social media amid claims he had spat at the official.
Manganiello did not make any mention of a spit in his report,...
Roma's Edin Dzeko faces ban for allegedly spitting at referee in 7-1 defeat
Roma striker Edin Dzeko could be given a lengthy ban if allegations of spitting at the referee during Wednesday night's 7-1 defeat at Fiorentina are confirmed.
Dzeko, who was shown a straight red card for dissent in the 72nd minute of the Coppa Italia quarterfinal clash in Florence, already faces a ban for his dismissal.
Caught on video and in still images, the 32-year-old appeared to spit at referee Gianluca Manganiello and his fate will be confirmed when the official's report is published.
Edin Dzeko joins Cristiano Ronaldo among Europe's top 10 international scorers, Wayne Rooney next to drop out
Edin Dzeko's two goals in Bosnia and Herzegovina's 2-0 victory over Northern Ireland in the UEFA Nations League on Monday saw him reach two personal milestones.
The first goal saw Dzeko pass the 300 career goals mark for club and country, while the second strike put him among the top 10 European international goal scorers off all time with 55 for his national team.
The Roma striker overtook two players -- including England's all-time top scorer, Wayne Rooney -- to go joint seventh. That...
Edin Dzeko scores again, Roma win after withstanding Empoli pressure
Edin Dzeko continued his upturn in form as Roma made it four straight wins in all competitions to move third in Serie A with a 2-0 win over Empoli. After a midweek Champions League hat trick, the Bosnian striker made sure of a hard-fought three points with his fourth goal in as many days when, with just over five minutes left, he combined with Stephan El Shaarawy before lofting a tidy finish over Pietro Terracciano.
The goal ended resistance from dogged Empoli, who kept plugging away after going...


text: Hi OSGeo edu folks, 1) With Tyler's system functional (YES! What a great step forward for us!) could each of you who "own" one of the 46 entries on our wiki inventory page [1] please take a few moments in the next week or so to create entries for that material in this new system [2]. Eventually, we'll decommission the old wiki page. 2) Also, now's a great time for people on this list with new content not inventoried to inventory it! ;-) 3) I still would like to move to a new derivative system using Subversion. If anyone has content who would like to do help us move in that direction, please contact me. Rather than posting links to external sites it would be good to post links to content in Subversion. 4) Finally, I want to start conversations with OSGeo Local groups.
