Clash of the Titans is a series of effects-driven action set-pieces strung on a clothesline plot and dressed up with classical mythology trappings. I enjoyed the ride, but the movie is not well-balanced and your mileage may vary.
It is officially a remake of the 1981 film of the same title. In fact, it's pretty much a remake in name only. There aren't many similarities and what similarities there are, are mostly attributable to the common underlying source material. The salient differences for understanding what type of movie this new version is, are that a) the "remake" shows little interest in the myths beyond their potential to supply fearsome creatures in colorful settings for a human hero to do battle with and b) the filmmakers were unable or unwilling to enter into the historical spirit and engage with the myths and mythmakers on their own terms.
Perseus (Sam Worthington) was rescued from the sea as an infant and raised by his salt-of-the-sea fisherman rescuer (Pete Postlethwaite) and his wife as their own. Twenty-some years later he is again cast adrift by tragedy when the family is caught in the crossfire of an escalating humans vs. the gods fight centered on the city-state Argos. Told to his astonishment that he is actually the demigod son of Zeus (Liam Neeson), Perseus determines to take his revenge on the indiscriminately destructive Hades (Ralph Fiennes). Hades meanwhile is busily stoking the fires in Argos in an offshoot of his eternal rivalry with his brother Zeus, who has long been feasting on mortals' love in Olympos while Hades feeds on crumbs of hate in the Underworld. As he embarks on his perilous quest, Perseus, embittered against all the gods, rejects his divine lineage and vows to fight always as a mortal man.
The film's "Who needs the gods? Not us!" philosophizing is simple-minded and unimaginative, while its idea of drama is to have Perseus and other characters periodically declaim words to that effect. Besides Zeus and Hades, the gods barely appear on-screen and don't register at all when they do. Neeson and Fiennes' performances as the top dogs are as flat as the writing for their characters. Worthington is attractive and strikes a few sparks, but even his hero's part is underwritten (and saddled with some lame dialogue). The same can be said of Gemma Arterton in/and the part of Perseus' love interest. Mads Mikkelsen (the Danish actor who played the villain in Casino Royale) delivers the film's standout performance as the commander of the detachment of Argos soldiers that accompanies Perseus.
At this point, you're probably asking why I said I enjoyed this movie since I haven't had anything very positive to say about it yet. The answer is easy: I enjoy a flashy action set-piece cloaked in exotica, and that is exactly what Clash of the Titans is all about. There is some humor and romance along the way, but the action, helmed by director Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk, Transporter 2), is the point.
The action tent poles are the three lengthy battles against immense desert scorpions, Medusa, and the Kraken. Each has elaborate sets and effects; the staging is grandly scaled to encompass multiple fighting fronts in the first two cases and subsidiary foes in the third. (The gradual attrition of Perseus' comrades being, in contrast to most of the film, fully in keeping with the conventions of classical mythology.) The production design stands out in the Medusa sequence, fought in the ruins of a grand temple in the Underworld. In between are smaller-scale fights, encounters with mysterious mythological creatures, and travel through otherworldly locales.
2 1/2 stars
Note: I saw the film in 2-D, which is how it was made to be seen prior to the 11th hour addition of some 3-D effects.

Mission 28: The Unforeseen
Prem carefully walked up the steps of the narrow staircase holding Heer's hand to steady her. "These are not heel friendly stairs," she sighed.
"Why did you wear them?" Prem asked.
"I thought I dress up my jeans," Heer replied.
"Dress up your jeans?"
"Yes, when you add heels to a causal outfit it makes it a little dresser," Heer explained as they finally reached the top of the stairs.
"But we're going to a bar," Prem said.
"I can't look good in a bar?" Heer questioned as she straightened the collar of his black polo shirt.
Prem leaned inward and whispered into her ear, "You always look good to me." Heer gave him a pleased look and then kissed him. "I don't know where else we are going tonight...you can drink and have fun but remember you're coming home with me at the end of the night."
Heer gently chortled and placed her hand on his chest her diamond engagement ring shinning brightly, "Don't worry I'm not going to mistake someone else for my fiance especially one that is so charming, smart, and sexy."
Prem's eyes sparkled and he grinned, "You think I'm sexy?" Heer just simply smiled and entered the bistro. "She thinks I'm sexy," Prem said beaming with pride. "Yay..." He then quickly opened the door and walked into the restaurant to follow her.
Heer waved happily as she saw Debbie sitting in the corner at a large table. "I'm so sorry we're late," she greeted. "There was an issue with the tire on the rental."
Debbie grinned knowing the real reason but tried not to say anything that would let her know. "Oh, it's all right. Some of us just got here ourselves," she said and gave her a hug.
"Where is everyone?" Heer asked as she checked to her left and right.
"Well, the boys went to the bar to get some drinks and the girls all ran off to the restroom. I stayed to make sure you and Prem could find us," Debbie explained. Her eyes then traveled to her left as she saw Prem walk towards their table. "It's so great to see you again."
"Likewise," Prem greeted as he gave her a hug. He then turned around when he heard some guff voices calling, "Oh Prem, oh Prem..." Leo, Vick, and Tony were walking towards the table holding some drinks in their hands chuckling. Debbie gave a quick glare to her husband while everyone was busy greeting each other and giving hugs. She couldn't believe that he had done that with the guys. He just smirked and handed her a drink whispering low into her ear, "Couldn't help it."
Prem and Heer both looked at the exchange with surprise. "Yea, who knew right? My brother and Debbie," Leo said.
"This is my husband," Debbie announced with a smile on her face as Vick put his arm around her shoulder.
"Oh...well, Congratulations," Heer said still struggling with the unexpected announcement.
"Thank you. Yeah, never would have thought...but life is sort of funny like that," Vick replied. He then looked at his wife, "But she's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I'm really a lucky guy."
"I understand you," Prem said slipping his hand around Heer's waist. "Sometimes the best things are right in front of you but you never realized until you finally look."
Vick nodded his head in agreement to his words. "So I hear you two are engaged?"
"Wait, wait...you have to tell your story first," Heer demanded.
"There really isn't much to tell," Debbie said.
"You're the one who left...I think there is a ton of things you need to explain," Leo chimed in.
"You know we are more interested in your story," Tony said.
"I want to know how you came back here," Prem replied. "You were adopted and then moved away. It's been forever since I've seen you."
"We'll get to my story later," Tony answered.
"Hey guys!"a feminine voice interrupted. "So you must be Prem and Leher," greeted a woman with blonde hair and an hour glass shaped figure.
"Oh, this is my girlfriend Amelia," Tony introduced. Prem and Heer nodded and exchanged greetings with her. Just as they were finishing up Prem felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned around to see a petite red head looking at him with a frown. Prem grinned and gave her a hug. Heer looked on with curiosity wondering who this red headed woman was.
"Oh, this is Julie," Prem said. "She went to high school with Leo, Debbie, Keith and I."
"Hi, so you must be Leher? Congratulations on your engagement," Julie greeted. "If you want to know all the dirt about Prem and his high school days...I'm one to talk to."
Prem's face formed into a scowl, "You make me sound like I was out of control or something."
"Come here," Julie said taking Heer's arm and moving her towards the table to sit down. "Let's have a little chat."
"Sssh..." Julie said holding up her finger. "I think she has a right to know."
Heer turned and looked at Prem giving him a glance over, "Are you trying to hide something?"
"That's right," Julie added. "See, he's already sweating and I haven't even said anything yet."
"That's because I'm still wearing my coat," Prem defended.
"Do tell Julie," Heer said turning her full attention towards her.
"I think you should be very worried," Leo laughed.
"Come on, let's all sit down and order some food. We can continue the conversation sitting down," Debbie ordered. "Oh, Prem and Heer need drinks."
"I've got that covered," Vick said heading back to the bar while everyone settled into their seats around the table.
The table was filled with half eaten dinner entrees and several bottles of beer and glasses of wine as eager ears listened and curious eyes paid attention to the person speaking. Everyone had taken their turn in telling their tale except for Prem and Heer. Debbie explained how she ended up dating Leo's brother Vick. It was one of those things that neither one of them had seen coming. Debbie had been set up on a blind date that never showed. Her date was supposed to meet her at a local bar after work to have drinks and then dinner. She ran into Vick and his friends and he invited her to join them. They ended up hitting it off and started hang out a lot after that night. Eventually things naturally progressed to the point where they started dating, fell in love, and got married. They just recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary in January.
Leo confessed he was at first weirded out when he found out that Debbie and Vick were dating. It just wasn't something he expected and it was strange to see his good friend dating his brother. After all Debbie use to go to him for relationship advice and now that she was involved with his brother he really didn't want to know all the details. Debbie of course never told him a thing and went to her good girl friends instead for advice. Leo saw how happy Debbie was and how much Vick loved with her that he gave his full blessing to the relationship. As for his own relationship status, Leo had recently ended a three year relationship with a girl and was still recovering from the break up. He was happy to be living the single life for now and wasn't all that eager to get back into the dating game.
Tony had recently returned to Vermont because his girlfriend, Amelia had family living here. Her grandparents on her father's side had retired to the city of Montpelier and she wanted to go visit them. Tony eagerly joined her so he could come back and look up old friends. As luck would have it the first person he met was Leo who happened to be eating at the same diner that he and Amelia had stopped at to get some lunch one day. From there Tony was able to meet up with some other Fairview Elementary alums. Tony currently works at his adoptive father's company as a manager.
Julie was back in town to visit her parents. She moved to Seattle, Washington to work for a marketing firm there. Her boyfriend, a police officer, unfortunately was not able to make the trip with her this time. Her brother Ben is serving alongside Keith in Afghanistan. Both are expected to come back in July.
Prem and Heer both swallowed uncomfortably as all eyes turned their attention to them. "Why do I feel like we're going to be interrogated?" Prem mused out loud.
"That's because you're going to be," Julie joked. "I want to know how Mr. I'm Going to Remain Single for the Rest of My Life got engaged. You swore you would never get married."
Heer turned towards Prem and gave him a questioning look, "You said that, did you?"
"Hey, that was a long time ago and I was only 18 then," Prem defended scowling at Julie, "I've matured since then and I didn't have Heer...um, Leher...like I do now."
"Did you just call Leher...Heer?" Debbie asked.
"Who's this mysterious Heer?" Julie questioned. "Leher, you sure you really want to marry him?"
"You girls are being too hard on him. It was just a slip of the tongue," Tony replied causing Amelia to shoot him a dirty look.
"You guys are all quick to defend that type of action," Debbie charged causing Julie and Amelia to nod their heads in agreement.
Prem sighed began rubbing the side of his face with his index finger. Heer discreetly slipped her hand onto his thigh and gently squeezed letting him know she was there with him. Prem moved his hand and placed it on top of hers in an affectionate gesture. They then both looked at each other acknowledging they were in agreement of what was to be explained next. Their friends looked at them with great curiosity and confusion as to what was going on. Heer breathed deeply and then said, "This mysterious Heer is actually me. Um, what I'm about to explain doesn't goes beyond this group, okay?"
"What do you mean?" Debbie questioned.
"Don't tell me you have some crazy spy story," Leo joked.
"Bond...James Bond...martini shaken not stirred," Tony added with a chuckle.
Prem groaned at that comment and gently shook his head. "You okay there? Need some water?" Vick asked.
"I'm serious," Heer replied.
"Just promise her Debbie," Prem commanded. Everyone at the table suddenly stopped joking and smiling and looked with concern faces.
"This is serious..." Leo uttered.
"It's complicated and yes, the subject matter is serious. Dangerous when we were younger," Prem replied.
"I promise," Julie said. "I won't tell anyone."
"We promise too," Tony answered for him and Amelia.
"I promise Leher," Debbie added. "We promise...Vick and I won't say a thing." Her husband nodded in agreement.
"I promise too," Leo said seriously.
"Now you've gone and scared them Prem," Heer scolded.
"Hey, it is serious...sure it's not something you can get killed over...well, wait I take that back..."
"Their faces are getting pale," Heer replied hitting the back of her hand on his chest. "Stop it...you're making it worse."
"Aaah, that hurt," Prem pouted as he rubbed his chest. "That shiny new ring I gave you isn't supposed to be used like a weapon."
"I'm sorry," Heer apologized.
"Will someone please explain something?" Leo asked.
Heer calmly started to tell her story to her friends explaining how she use to live in Fairfax, Virginia and because of her father's work in the CIA she had to enter the witness protection program for a few years. She moved with her mother to Montpelier, Vermont and her name was changed to Leher Singh. She explained the reason why she left so suddenly was because the people who were after her father had found out where she and her mother were living. They were moved to a secure location and the criminals were apprehended by the authorities. With the threat gone she returned to Virginia and resumed living as Heer Mann. Prem jumped in and explained how after he graduated from college he went straight into the CIA. He omitted the finer details of his missions and such and simply stated he was assigned to be Heer's bodyguard for an operation one day. He had no idea who she was at the time but then found the heart shaped locket he had given her before she left. For obvious reasons Prem didn't elaborate on the details of how and what he was doing when he found the locket. Heer then took over the story again and simply stated while they were completing the mission things naturally progressed in their relationship to its current stage.
Their friends stared at them blankly for a few minutes as they digested everything. "So your real name is Heer Mann?" Debbie asked.
"You and Prem work for the CIA?" Leo gasped. "So like can we tell people that or is this top secret?"
Prem laughed, "Its fine. We aren't doing any undercover work...we've retired from active field duty. We just can't talk about our cases...national security and all."
"Top secret stuff? Wow, so like you've seen things...secrets about our government and other governments?" Tony probed.
"I can't comment on that," Prem replied.
Tony and Leo exchanged glances and confidentially nodded. "If you did you'd have to kill us?" Leo answered.
"You don't have to worry about that cause I'm not telling you anything," Prem replied.
"I hate to be on your bad side," Vick said. "You probably know lots of ways to get rid of someone without leaving any evidence behind."
"You guys make us sound so scary," Prem frowned.
"But you learned that didn't you? How to shoot a gun...learned karate or some sort of martial arts...probably could defuse a bomb...hack into a computer system...all sort of things," Vick replied.
"We've learned some things but we don't know everything," Heer said. "It's just basic defense, gunmanship, and languages."
"Wow, I never knew anyone who worked for the CIA," Julie mused. "This is cool yet kind of scary at the same time."
"You guys can stop freaking out," Prem said. "It's okay. You're not going to be followed or anything. It's just a bit complicated. Heer wanted to come back and visit but she knew you guys knew her as Leher and the thing is we want to invite you to our wedding and well with the whole name thing...it would be confusing for you. So, she wanted to tell you the truth instead of making up some lie about her name change."
"It's all in the past. There isn't need to fear anything. The criminals are still in jail and everything has been cleared in the matter so it's okay," Heer reassured. "I'm still the same person. I just happened to be using a different name when I was younger. I know it's a lot to take in."
"So your Dad works for the CIA? Does your Mom too?" Tony inquired.
"No, she doesn't. Believe me she wasn't too happy when she found out I was working for the CIA," Heer replied.
"Following in your father's steps, huh?" Amelia asked.
"I honestly didn't even consider it during college but as usual life is a funny thing. One of my good friends was applying to the FBI and somehow I ended up applying to the CIA for a translating position and well, ended up being recruited for an active agent position," Heer explained.
"You guys must live exciting lives," Tony said. "Out there doing all this national security stuff...traveling around the world meeting all sorts of people."
"Man, if I had that sort of job I think I would never retire," Leo pondered out loud.
"Eh, it's not all James Bond and everything," Prem replied. "You eventually get tired of it. It's nice to have a routine...a house to live in...a family to come home to."
"Settling down, huh?" Vick chuckled lightly. "Ready for the big step? Chains and shackles..." Debbie gave a glaring look at her husband for his remark and he quickly corrected himself, "I mean...for some people it's like that...but not for me...nope...freedom...that's what marriage is. I love being married especially to Debbie...she's the best wife..."
"You can stop now," Debbie replied with a frown. "When you try that hard it just makes it sound worse. Stop while you are ahead." Vick swallowed hard and sheepishly grin while everyone gently laughed.
The rest of the night was filled with more gossip and talk about mutual friends or acquaintances they knew. Funny stories, interesting stories, and sad stories were told. Plans about careers, life, and the future were discussed. Drinks continued to flow and memories of good times were relived and cherished.
Prem stood with the rest of the guys on the sidewalk in the chilly night air waiting for their partners to come down. Leo kicked the icy ground lightly with his boots and sighed, "Women, they all run off to the bathroom together...they said it be only five minutes...I think it's been ten."
"They have small bladders...they can't wait...they have to go when they have to go," Tony replied.
"I was once five minutes away from home and Debbie had me pull over so she could use the restroom. I was like we are five minutes away from home...can't you hold it for five minutes?" Vick exclaimed. "Of course her answer was no so I had to pull into a gas station."
Prem grinned and silently nodded his head at the conversation. He glanced upward towards the restaurant waiting with expected eyes for Heer to appear. He felt a firm hand on his shoulder and he turned his head with a smile. "So Prem, oh Prem, how does it feel?" Leo asked.
He furrowed his eyebrows and said, "You and the guys have been doing that a lot..."
"Doing what a lot?" Leo replied innocently.
"Calling my name like that...oh Prem, oh Prem..." he explained.
"It's cause we miss you man," smiling, "You know I'm sure Keith would have enjoyed this if he was here," Leo stated trying to change the subject.
"Yeah, I'm sure he would. He would have said I told you so," Prem replied. "But honestly I had no idea...I never really thought of it."
"You grew up with her of course you never saw it coming. She was just someone you considered like your family. She was the little girl you use to make fun of and call Pumpkin," Leo said.
"Pumpkin," Prem repeated his eyes sparking with adoration.
"And now..."
"I'm in love," Prem replied shyly looking downwards. "She's the one and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her."
"I'm happy for you," Leo said with a smile.
"Thanks," Prem answered and returned his attention to the doorway of the Black Door Bar & Bistro.
Debbie stood in front of the sink washing her soapy hands with warm water. She nodded her head in acknowledgement as Julie and Amelia announced that they were going to go down and wait with the guys. They made a passing joke about how the guys were probably disgruntled because they were taking so long. Heer soon emerged from one of the toilet stalls and proceeded to soap up her hands and wash them. Debbie handed her some paper towels for her to dry her hands with and asked, "So? How does it feel?"
Understanding what she meant Heer gave a thoughtful answer, "Sometimes I feel like I have to pinch myself to make sure this isn't a dream. You know I was getting to the point that he would always just be my childhood crush. I mean I missed him a lot over the years...I wondered what he was doing and if he and his family were doing well. I imagined that he probably found someone to be with...you know settled down with...maybe had a kid or something...living somewhere in Vermont. I sort of prepared myself for that if I ever ran into him again. But life had other things in mind...fate had its own plan for us...I guess you could say."
"He truly loves you Leher..." tapping her forehead with her hand, "Sorry, I mean Heer," Debbie replied.
"It's okay...I know it must be hard to get use to," Heer said.
"I can see it...the way he looks at you...his body language and everything...you've got him."
Heer laughed, "Thanks."
"So you know I have to ask...has he gotten any better since your last encounter with him in Seven Minutes in Heaven," Debbie probed.
"He's an excellent kisser," Heer replied feeling her cheeks grow warm.
"Ah-ha," Debbie giggled noticing the complexion of Heer's cheeks turning to a gentle rosy-pink. "Can it be safe to say..."
"Debbie!" Heer gasped and playfully swiped her hand in the air at her.
"You're turning beet red now," she laughed pointing her finger at her.
"Shut up!"
"I'm going to take that as a yes," Debbie snickered. "You know Heer, next time you hang up the phone make sure you do just that."
Heer's eyes widen at her revelation. "Um, you...wait...how much?" she stuttered.
"Enough to know..."
"Oh God," Heer replied in embarrassment. Her eyes then lit in understanding, "Is that why the guys kept joking around calling Prem's name?"
"I didn't tell them anything. I just sort of mentioned you being late to Vick..." Debbie defended. "The rest he did on his own. I'm sorry about that."
"Rrright," Heer sarcastically responded.
"Hey I am. I kept telling him to stop but Tony and Leo kept going on their own," Debbie replied. "You know how they can get."
Heer sighed and put her hand on her forehead still slightly stunned. "This is so embarrassing."
"Forget it. What matters most is you two enjoyed yourselves," Debbie said with a laugh.
Heer chuckled leaning forward holding her arm. "We had fun."
"That's the way it's supposed to be," Debbie said. "Communication, respect, financial stability, and love...fire in the bedroom."
"Communication...check, respect...check, love...hehe...fire...double check," Heer giggled, "...and the finances...we're working on that together."
"Well, there you go," Debbie smiled. "Come on let's go...the guys are going to be complaining about how long we are taking."
"It is rather cold outside. They're probably little ice cubes now," Heer laughed as they exited out of the ladies restroom.
Slender hands gripped the soft comforter on the bed as a head snuggled deeply into the pillow trying to fight off the morning rays of the sun. She felt her partner roll over and wrap his arm around her waist and sling his leg over her legs sighing into her ear. "Sleep well Pumpkin?" his husky voice asked.
Heer whined into her pillow, "Didn't we close the curtains why is the light still getting in?"
"I don't know," Prem replied and started nuzzling her neck.
"Ssstop..." Heer giggled.
"Hmmm...no, don't want to," Prem mumbled back. "Let's just stay in bed. It's too cold outside...the bed is so nice and warm."
"You're the one who decided to sleep without a shirt on," Heer replied. She felt Prem shift his head and cuddle closer to her. "Are you trying to make me your blanket?" She laughed and started to purposely move away from him.
"There isn't much space left...you're going to fall out of the bed," Prem warned. "Come here..." He grabbed her and rolled her over to the other side. Heer shrieked with laughter as she flopped over. "Oh, it's cold," Prem groaned as the covers slipped off their bodies.
"Haha...you deserve it," Heer replied as she pulled her shirt down. She was wearing flannel plaid pajama pants and a long gray shirt. She scrambled back underneath the covers and bunched them up hording it so Prem couldn't get back in.
"Pumpkin!" he whined. "It's cold." He slithered around on the bed trying to seek some warmth as he was only wearing a pair of black sweatpants. "I'm going to catch a cold."
"Well, you should have thought about that before you went to bed like that. Don't worry the heat will kick in any minute," Heer replied and began scooting away.
"Come back here and keep me warm," Prem ordered.
"No!" Heer playfully shouted and then stuck out her tongue, "Naahhh..." She kept moving away unaware of the fact that she was getting closer to the edge of the bed. Prem reached out but it was too late. She fell over with a thud bringing along with her the covers and sheets.
"Heer, you okay?!" Prem asked worriedly as he peered over the edge of the bed. He saw her holding her head and was about to hop off and check on her when she suddenly burst into a fit of laughter.
"Oh that hurt...hehe..." Heer laughed. "I must look ridiculous."
Prem sighed in relief and then started to lightly chuckle along with her. "You scared me there for a minute." He slide off the bed and helped her to her feet. "Where did you hit your head? Back here?" He massaged his fingers over her head trying to locate the bump.
"Ahhh, that hurts..." Heer replied moving away from him. "Don't press so hard like that. It's just a little bump...nothing to worry about."
"Okay good," Prem said and then grinned mischievously as he grabbed the covers and brought them back onto the bed. He slipped underneath and laid on his stomach resting his head comfortably on a pillow.
Heer jumped on top of him making him let out a groan at the sudden unexpected force and weight. "Warm enough?" she giggled into his ear.
"Y-yea, th-thanks," Prem hoarsely replied.
"I'm awake now...let's go have breakfast," Heer suggested.
"Sure, but just a few more minutes," Prem requested and closed his eyes. Heer crawled back underneath the covers and snuggled her body onto his back. She gently kissed his shoulder and laid her head down. "Love you," he replied to her gesture.
"Is this what you wanted?" Heer asked.
"Yes," Prem smiled as he searched for her hand to hold. "Pumpkin, can you just move in with me when we get back?"
"Pancake, you know I can't do that. No way my Mom or your Dad would approve."
"I've missed waking up with you every morning," he pouted. "I've gotten use to it...we've spent about a month and half sleeping in the same bed."
"I've missed it too," Heer grinned brightly touched by his words. She puckered her lips and kissed his shoulder again. Prem let out a pleasing sigh causing her to give more kisses.
"Ah, this is the life..." Prem exhaled in content. "You and me...spending a lazy day in bed...no cares or worries."
"You said five more minutes," Heer replied.
"It hasn't been five."
"How do you know?" she chortled.
"Cause I do...anyways it's cold outside do you really want to get dressed and go out there?"
"We have to eventually eat you know," Heer reasoned.
"Just five more minutes," Prem yawned and then closed his eyes falling into sleep. Heer let her eyelids drop expecting to rest for just five more minutes but quickly fell back asleep like Prem.
Rishabh knocked his knuckle lightly on wooden office door. He heard a muffled "come in" and entered. "Congratulations Balraaj," he greeted.
"On..." crinkling his eyebrows in confusion wondering what he was doing at his house on a weekend.
"Don't play dumb. Heard you're about to gain a new son-in-law," Rishabh smiled. "He's a fine young agent."
"How did you know?" Balraaj questioned suspiciously. "And why are you here?"
"I happened to run into Agent Rajput at the grocery store when he received the good news," Rishabh simply answered. "He was very vocally happy about it...talking to his girlfriend...I think." Balraaj tightened his jaw knowing Agent Preet Rajput would do something like that. He watched Rishabh walk towards an old ship's map of the United States hanging on the wall and began inspecting it. "Don't you think it's time to put the past behind? Consider it a new beginning."
Balraaj got up from his desk and stared with hard eyes at Rishabh. "This matter is none of your business."
"No, it is my business. They were my friends too. What are you going to tell him when he finds out?"
"The truth," Balraaj replied.
"Which truth?" Rishabh asked looking at him. "Your version or the actual truth?"

When thinking of ways to fight poverty in third-world countries, most people wouldn't automatically jump to online education. But newly-launched Berlin startup Allversity thinks there's a lot of potential to improve standards of living via free internet courses: from basic first aid to child nutrition to an introduction to computing.
The not-for-profit company describes Allversity as a "MOOC platform for developing nations". The two founders, Shane McMillan and Christian Kroll, came up with the idea after living in Ghana and Nepal and becoming disillusioned with the general standard of education.
Allversity links users with experts in areas of health, entrepreneurship, agriculture, life skills and human rights. The team is in contact with community leaders and youth via local partnerships with over 50 community knowledge centres across Africa and South East Asia. They are working together to brainstorm course ideas and the best method to teach them. In the long run, the Allversity team wants to connect students and communities to work on their own projects and introduce more partnerships with other organisations.
The courses are generally short and easy to understand, although they are in English at the moment – problematic, considering English is not necessarily widespread in their target nations. The team plans on translating the courses into Hindi, Swahili, French and Arabic via crowdsourcing in the future.
Another immediately apparent issue is the relatively low internet penetration in their target region of Africa – the team is working to overcome this by developing a mobile version that can be used offline and notes smartphone usage is expected to reach 40 per cent of Africa's population by 2017.
Allversity joins fellow Berlin startup Knowable, another social enterprise (though the latter is more about teaching people how to make hands-on items such as solar light-bulbs from easily available materials and waste).
It's a nice change from social discovery, that's for sure.

I was reading recently about a copy protection scheme that stores data in sector 32, which is apparently right after the partition info, correct?
The scheme I am looking at claims to defeat Norton Ghost and yet survive a format... probably not low-level. However, they will not reveal the details of where the license info is, except to say it is not 'in the filesystem.'
Do these unused, reserved, or 'system' sectors exist on a UFS/FFS hard disk? If I am 'dangerously dedicated,' does that extra space go away? Is there any way a copy protection scheme could be devised under FreeBSD that could access that area, or another area beyond the reach of the filesystem?

There was also a group that met there regularly for folk dancing.

On one of those nights at the amphitheater (I don't remember the exact occasion or the date), Eleanor Roosevelt was in the audience. Her presence was announced, she stood briefly, people applauded briefly, and then the performance continued and she was left unmolested. She was accorded that courtesy without there being any need for a huge security detail to protect her.Johannahhttps://email@example.com

NEW YORK — J.C. Penney is honing in on its home department as part of a bigger plan to turn its stores into mini-malls, of sorts.
The struggling department-store chain is unveiling revamped home areas within its stores that feature 20 boutiques and 50 new brands. The areas will include an eclectic mix of items, from $60 Michael Graves' stainless steel tea kettles to $1,850 Jonathan Adler "Happy Chic" sofas.
The home areas, which Penney will begin to roll out Friday at 500 of its 1,100 stores, will test CEO Ron Johnson's plan to open separate shops-within-stores for popular designers. The format, which gives department stores more of a mini-mall feel, have been popular at higher-end rivals such as Macy's and Bloomingdale's for years.
Penney, which already has rolled out mini shops-within-stores for popular clothing designers like Joe Fresh, hopes the new home areas will help it woo back shoppers. The chain is struggling to rebound its business after losing a quarter of its revenue and amassing nearly $1 billion in losses in the past year since it began tweaking everything from its pricing to its stores. The revamp of the home areas presents a big opportunity for the retailer to regain its footing.
While home sections typically are among the least profitable of a department store, they help to drive customers into the store. And demand for home furnishings is rebounding along with the U.S. housing market: Sales of furniture and home decor reached $92.9 billion last year, up 7.8 percent from the low of $86.2 billion in 2009 during the recession, according to spending tracker MasterCard Advisors' SpendingPulse.
"It's going to be a struggle, but the home area could generate some momentum," said Walter Loeb, a New York-based independent retail consultant.
But Penney, based in Plano, Texas, has its work cut out for it. Penney was planning to anchor its home areas with the Martha Stewart lifestyle brand. But the company is fighting in court with Macy's over whether Macy's has exclusive rights to sell certain Martha Stewart products such as bedding, cookware and bath items.
Adding to that, Penney's home business has lost considerable cache from its heyday. The business once accounted for nearly 20 percent of Penney's total store sales, but that number has dropped to 12 percent as the assortments have failed to attract the younger customers who update their homes more often than their older counterparts. In fact, Penney said that its home department, which had attracted an average age of 45, has the oldest shopper compared with rivals like Target Corp. and Macy's.
Penney executives say the new sections will appeal to a broader group of customers. About 70 percent of the merchandise in the new home area will be new or retooled brands. To make room for the new labels, Penney got rid of long-standing names, including traditional home furnishing brand Chris Madden.
Each shop-within-a-store will have its own distinct look and will range in size from 300 to about 800 square feet. Among the new shops within the stores will be Bodum, a Denmark-based kitchenware company. Jonathan Adler, known for his whimsical designs in home decor, also will have a shop. And Michael Graves, the architect-turned-home designer, will showcase his minimalist style in kitchen and home accessories in mini boutiques.
"There's something for everyone at any stage of their lives," said Paul Rutenis, senior vice president and general merchandise manager for Penney's home business.
The Graves shops for Penney will have about 150 items, ranging from $8 wooden spatulas to $190 standing lamps.
Graves said the quality of his items in Penney's stores is higher than the items he once sold at Target: A teakettle at Target, for instance, sold for $39 and was plastic, but Graves said the $60 Penney version is stainless steel.
As for Penney's future, Graves said he's focusing on what Penney will become.
"I'm not at all worried," he said. "The change is going on. People will have to be patient."

In an effort to boost the competitiveness of its morning and midday newscasts, WMAQ-Ch. 5 is expected to debut its new downtown street-side studio on Michigan Avenue with a special broadcast Saturday.
The television studio, which occupies the northwest corner of the Equitable Building at 401 N. Michigan Ave. and looks out on Pioneer Court, is the first of its kind in Chicago. The street-level, glass-walled studio concept, pioneered by NBC's "Today Show" in New York City in the 1950s as a way to connect with viewers and liven up the broadcast, has become commonplace in network morning newscasts emanating from New York.

A mother's anguish
In an essay from 2005, one mother shares the lifetime of suffering beneath the clergy sex-abuse headlines.
I am a mother of a son who was sexually abused by our parish priest. Since the exposure of this grim period in our church, I have wondered where I went wrong. Why did I fail to protect my son from the horrifie abuse he suffered for more than four years?
How to build a better priest
The editors interview Father Robert Barron.
"For too long we've had a preferential option for mediocrity in the priesthood," laments Father Robert Barron, assistant professor of systematic theology at Mundelein Seminary in Mundelein, Illinois. "Teilhard de Chardin said the priest calls down fire on the earth," says Barron. That's a far cry from "organizer of ministries," which is one of the dull-as-dishwater descriptions Barron remembers from his seminarian days. "Who's going to be lit on fire by a term like that?" he fumes.
Broken trust, broken lives: Survivors of priest sexual abuse speak out
For many, it is one of those assuring, evocative aromas, the kind that launches a cascade of warm and welcome childhood memories and recollections of sacred and peaceful moments. But for Christopher Dixon, it's the smell of burned candle, the blackened wax, that drives him away from Mass. It's a smell that never fails to remind him of "Father [John] Fischer with his finger pointing at me, 'Come here,' calling me back to the sacristy."
Whitewash or renewal?
In year two of the sex-abuse scandal, it it time for the laity to brush up on their leadership skills?
About 200 laypeople from some 50 Chicago-area parishes pack a hall one March evening at the Dominican Priory in River Forest, Illinois to hear Voice of the Faithful (VOTF) cofounder and ex-president James Muller make a pitch for their consciences and the future of the church.
Who's the boss?
The priest shortage is generating some creative solutions to parish staffing, but they require a little flexibility and a healthy sense of humor on the part of everyone involved.
Out of sight, out of mind
Once ubiquitous, the parish priest is disappearing into thin air, with troubling effects on young Catholic imaginations.
A few years ago while teaching, I realized that my students, mostly Catholic high school graduates, considered bishops to be distant administrators and not teachers. This attitude initially puzzled me, but I soon realized that, because of the decline in priestly vocations, most had been taught solely by laypeople and did not view clerics as teachers.
Vocational school: Sister Katarina Schuth on seminaries
Having taught in and studied seminaries for 20 years, Katarina Schuth sizes up the changes in today's seminaries and the men they are forming for the priesthood.
Karatina Schuth didn't set out to study seminaries. With a doctoral degree in cultural geography, she had researched literacy in rural India, taught at a Minnesota college, and studied moral theology. Her work on seminaries initially just fell into her lap, she says.
Let's enlist short-term priests as a long-term solution
Celibacy isn't the problem, argues Father Andrew Greeley. It's the lifelong service to the priesthood that scares away young men.
Bring back men in black
Religious clothing allows Catholics to make a fashion statement about their faith, says a young priest who sports the look that a previous generation put away.

A BUDDING writer has seen his work in print thanks to the Observer.
As part of her visit to The Prebendal School earlier this year, deputy content editor Sheena Campbell challenged pupils in Years 6 and 7 to write an article based on the plot of their favourite book.
Following her visit, the articles were sent to the Observer office, where Sheena and the rest of the newsroom picked Nabil Umar, 13, as the winner.
"I was really impressed with the quality of all the pupils' ideas on the day and subsequent articles," said Sheena.
"However, Nabil really stood out for me.
"He had obviously listened to all the tips I gave the pupils on the day and came up with a brilliant angle on the story.
"His introduction and quotes were strong and his story structure was excellent."
Nabil chose to write on Michael Morpurgo's book Singing For Mrs Pettigrew.
"It was a really good, interesting book and I chose to write on it because you can imagine some of the things which go on in the story happening in your own life," said Nabil. "I was shocked when I found out my review had been chosen, I really didn't expect to win!"
Sheena said: "If Nabil ever decided to pursue a career in journalism I think he made a great start – the whole newsroom was really impressed with his efforts."

Stoke City has announced plans to expand the Britannia Stadium to the 30,000 mark.
The Potters, who employ Americans Geoff Cameron and Maurice Edu, are looking to obtain planning permission to fill in the area between the Seddon Stand and the Marston's Pedigree Stand as they watch their supporter base continue to grow since their establishment as Premier League regulars after promotion in 2008.
"The decision to apply for planning permission to expand the Britannia Stadium comes after careful consideration for a number of years," chief executive Tony Scholes told the club's official website. "The atmosphere generated by our sellout crowds since promotion to the Premier League has undoubtedly played a huge part in the club's continued success and we have to be mindful of the fact that any expansion could have an effect on that.
"We have always said that we would be open to the possibility of expanding the stadium should we continue to remain in the Premier League and have the supporter base to fill it on a consistent basis.
"Home support levels are continuing to hold up very well as we enjoy our fifth season in the league and this was highlighted no more so than at our last home game with QPR. The attendance of 27,529 was our highest of the season so far, and, with the visitors only taking up the smaller allocation, it shows that the continued interest of our fantastic support remains there.
"Stoke City are proud of a number of initiatives that are run throughout the local community to engage with current and potential new supporters. The club have already seen an increase from 15 percent to 25 percent of fans aged 21 and under visiting the Britannia Stadium, which is very encouraging.
"A possible expansion could, for example, enable us to look into housing supporters currently in the Family Stand who struggle to relocate to a group of seats together when they grow beyond the Family Stand age limits."

Building component maintenance management is one of the most important issues in management of building lifecycle costs. Key to successful maintenance management is the ability to survey present condition and predict future condition for each component and facility present in a building. One of the methods is condition-based. This paper reflects on the condition index progress in repair system and maintenance of building facility by research in similar subjects and looks specifically at the use of condition index (CI) as a development tool. The result of research can be published as a guide to assist the development of programmers in field of economic models for optimization of repair cost of building component.

Religious Displays In Public Force Consideration Of Inclusiveness In America
In recent years, religious conservative, have pushed to give Christian Protestantism a protected role in society.
In recent years, religious conservative, have pushed to give Christian Protestantism a protected role in society.
In 2009, the conservatively-controlled Oklahoma State Legislature authorized a controversial piece of sculpture to be placed in front of the statehouse. Since the installation of the privately-funded Ten Commandments monument in 2012, many have seen the move as an inappropriate endorsement of Christian ideology by the state government — a possible violation of the tenet separating church and state.
"The monument's placement at the Capitol has created a more divisive and hostile state for many Oklahomans," said Ryan Kiesel, American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma's executive director. "When the government literally puts one faith on a pedestal, it sends a strong message to Oklahomans of other faiths that they are less than equal."
In recent years, the Republican Party, particularly, religious conservatives, have pushed to give Christian Protestantism a protected role in society. In 1999, the Kansas Board of Education moved to no longer mandate the teaching of evolution. As late as September of this year, religious conservatives on the Texas state textbook review panels urged the State Board of Education to reject textbooks that did not offer disclaimers against evolution or offer equal space for creationism. As Texas is the single largest buyer of textbooks, this could theoretically affect textbooks in other states.
A 1987 U.S. Supreme Court ruling banned the teaching of creation theory as science in the nation's public schools. In Texas, the question of support for prayer in school has became a major issue in the Republican lieutenant governor race, with three of the four candidates supporting a return of prayer to the classroom — despite 1963's Abington School District v. Schempp ruling that school-organized religious activities in state-run schools were prohibited. In February, Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott signed a law permitting student-led prayer in public schools.
The merging of personal ideology with public sentiment tends to create situations in which policy is created to address the needs of the few at the expense of the discomfort of the many. Last week, the Satanic Temple moved to fund a memorial that would sit aside the Ten Commandments memorial.
"I feel that the statue is only problematic when it stands alone," said Lucien Greaves, a spokesman for the Satanic Temple, a New York-based church, in regards to the Ten Commandment sculpture. "It would change the dynamic with our monument there. We aren't objecting to the Ten Commandments monument, we're objecting to the monument standing alone."
Greaves has suggested that the favored design currently is an interactive display for children. While defenders of the public presentation of the Ten Commandments reject the Satanists' argument that access for one religion equates to access for all religions, in reality, it would be difficult to make such an exemption for just Protestant Christianity.
"I think these Satanists are a different group. You put them under the nut category," Republican State Rep. Bobby Cleveland told The Huffington Post.
Brady Henderson, legal director for the ACLU Oklahoma, said it would be preferable to see Oklahoma's government officials work to serve communities and improve the lives of Oklahomans, instead of erecting granite monuments to show how righteous they are.
"But if the Ten Commandments, with its overtly Christian message, is allowed to stay at the Capitol, the Satanic Temple's proposed monument cannot be rejected because of its different religious viewpoint," Henderson said.
Within this dichotomy lies the debate on public religious symbols. While presentations such as the recently-opened Nativity Scene at the Florida State Capitol, the proposed installation of a Ten Commandments memorial at the Georgia State Capitol, and the established or proposed installation of chapels in the statehouses for Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Texas, Oklahoma and Indiana, can be argued to be innocuous or innocent, such assumptions would require either agreement or tolerance for the beliefs represented by the presentation.
Similar to Rep. Cleveland's rejection of the Satanists' proposal, for non-Christians, acceptance of public displays of Christian belief may be difficult to accept.
On Dec.12, the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties won a case brought on behalf of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America to have a 43-foot Latin cross removed from the Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial in San Diego. The decision was the upholding of a 2011 ruling from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that stated that the cross violated the fundamental understanding of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
"We acknowledge the good intentions and heartfelt emotions on all sides of this dispute, and recognize the sincere anguish that will be felt regardless of whether we affirm or reverse the district court," wrote the Court of Appeals in its opinion. "At the same time, in adopting the First Amendment, the Founders were prescient in recognizing that, without eschewing religion, neither can the government be seen as favoring one religion over another. The balance is subtle but fundamental to our freedom of religion."
In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to consider a challenge to the Court of Appeals ruling. In 1993, a district court in the 9th Circuit ruled that the cross's presence on public land was unconstitutional and ordered the City of San Diego to remove or demolish it, saying that the cross "carries an inherently religious message and creates an appearance of honoring only those servicemen of that particular religion."
The city made several attempts to circumvent the court rulings before reaching an settlement in 2004 with the petitioners to move the cross to a neighboring church, saving it.
However, some in the community could not accept the moving of the cross and forced a rejection of the deal. Ultimately, this group successfully lobbying Congress to declare the cross a "historic symbol of Christianity in America."
Congress declared the cross a national veterans memorial and seized the surrounding property by eminent domain. The ACLU argued that while the cross — within itself — is not necessarily offensive, it does not represent all veterans and is, therefore, serving to favor one group over another.
In 2009, a similar case was argued before the Supreme Court over the National Park Service's plan to remove an eight-foot cross from the Mojave National Preserve in San Bernardino County, Calif.
Erected as early as 1934 by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, it was meant to be a memorial for veterans who died in World War I. The cross was not permitted for construction and was removed and replaced many times. Despite this, the VFW argued it was a "national memorial" and Congress — in 2002 — declared the acre surrounding the cross protected and of historical interest. The acreage was granted to the VFW.
In the Supreme Court case Salazar v. Buono, it was argued that the cross — as a symbol — failed to accurately represent the U.S. military, which has a non-Christian religious population of 11 percent and an atheistic population of 21 percent. In arguments, the petitioner argued that the use of a Christian cross to memorialize the dead sends out the message that the military is only memorializing the Christian dead.
While the Supreme Court rejected this argument, saying that the removal of all religious symbols are not necessary to maintain government impartiality to all faiths, many experts feel that there is a difference from what is intended and what is perceived.
"It's clear to me and many other former military officers that the proposal does not live up to the government's obligation not to favor any particular religion," wrote Israel Drazin, a retired Army brigadier general, for the Los Angeles Times. "The cross is unquestionably a sectarian religious symbol that … would convey the message that the military values the sacrifices of Christian war dead over those of service members belonging to other faiths.
"When the symbols of several religions are displayed together, for example, or when religious symbols are accompanied by nonreligious monuments, it's generally clear to all that no particular faith is being promoted above all others and that the contributions of all fallen soldiers and veterans are equally honored."
Drazin pointed out that individual crosses on graves represent the individuals' personal belief, not the government's recognition of those belief — making the government construction of any religious symbol in a memorial or grave site inappropriate.
This, however, may not be reflective of how the public feels, in general. When asked about their feelings about public religious displays, most Americans offer a neutral to positive response. According to a Dec. 1-6 Saint Leo University poll of 1,002 respondents, 73 percent said that nativity scenes should be allowed on public property, compared to the 11 percent that said no.
There are those, though, who feel that — in the example above — it is the 11 percent who matter, as they represent the population whose ideologies and personal beliefs are being oppressed by the free religious expression of others.
"What we know is when the government gets involved with religion, two things happen. Individuals suffer, because individuals who disagree about matters of faith do not have to have to merely contend with their minister, their priest, their rabbi, their mullah, but rather have to contend with the government," said Paul Finkelman, a professor of law and public policy at Albany Law School.
"The thing to understand is the role of government is very different than the role of religion in any society. The role of religion is to teach morality, to teach ethics, to have a model for how people ought to behave … Governments make compromises. The ultimate aspect that makes government work is compromise," he said. "The art of compromise is the art of great politics."
The recent devastating car bombing in Mogadishu has been blamed by Somali officials on the terrorist group al-Shabab. But the violence (and famine) that have beset Somalia have deeper roots — decades of imperialism and intervention, and use of Somalia as a staging grounds for the "war on terror."
Buried among statistics on gun profits and lobbying efforts is the terrifying reality of just how unique America's gun obsession and associated violence are. And the equally terrifying plan by the NRA to "normalize" gun possession in nearly every nook and cranny of American life.
U.S. campaigns for regime change characteristically focus on the "madness" of the "dictators" to be toppled. In the case of North Korea, the narrative is spiced by the country's developing nuclear capabilities — which North Korea views as its main line of defense against . . . regime change.
Aung Su Kyi, the leader of Myanmar, has been accused of "legitimizing genocide" against the country's Rohingya Muslims, despite being a Nobel Prize laureate. Her country's military has massacred thousands of Rohingya, leading some to call for Kyi's Nobel Prize to be revoked.


text: A dictatorship is the ONLY way forward if u want to prevail. It is such a simple method of diplomacy, one person makes all of the decisions and there's no one to complain (as long as the right person is in charge). Democracy is like someone playing chess with like a million people telling you to make a different move, in short if you are for democracy no one will agree on anything and the government will end up having to make decisions in secret.

Your comments address some of the topics that will be in my next couple posts/reviews of the Kindle Fire.

It only took me 3 days to use up the entire capacity on the device. That occurred this morning when I began downloading the majority of my audible book content (around 250 audio books). That was more than the Fire wanted to have, so I scaled it back to four or five audio books. It's not like I'm going to be stranded on a desert island for the next five years and need all of my content available RIGHT NOW.

I'm also testing the battery life with constant on and constant WiFi connection. At the moment, it's been on about 7 hours and has 17% battery life left.

I am probably pushing the device more here at the beginning just to see what it will do.

Stay tuned for more of my impressions on my new KF!Susan Petersenhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361643719072455990.post-25830698397273596572011-11-19T10:38:03.313-06:002011-11-19T10:38:03.313-06:00I should have also said I have watched Netflix mov...I should have also said I have watched Netflix movie on it, as well as a Rootsmagic teaching videos and it worked quite well.

I also own a Kindle DX, which is about the same size as an iPad. And I have an iPhone and and an iPhone Video. This is what I like about the Fire and how I've used it so far:

1. The color screen makes viewing subscription magazines and the web quite nice.
2. It's smaller than the iPad and easier to slip into a medium sized purse.
3. It was $200 as oppose to $500 to $700 that the iPad. As one reviewer said, it's almost an impulse buy.
4. There are not many apps and especially not ones that are genealogy specific, BUT, when mobile device programmers were polled the platform they were the most interested in programming for was the Kindle.

As any entrepreneurship professor can tell you, public interest in starting new ventures keeps growing. Every year we help hundreds of people to turn their venture ideas into a credible business plan and a real company that creates jobs. But we also see people making many mistakes along the way – mistakes that other people can learn from. Here are the top three that I caution people about:
1) Not doing a comprehensive search about who else is doing the same thing. A typical example would be the new wave of potential entrepreneurs who want to build a mobile application to provide a new service to users. Given how crowded the app markets on iPhone and Android have become recently, I can't really blame people for not being aware that someone else has already started offering a very similar application. If you're launching such a business and someone points out that there is already a similar app out there, your reaction should not be "Well, our app will have a better user interface" – it should be to study every detail of the software, learning from user reviews, and figuring out how to address an even more profitable market with it.
2) Not fully using the free resources at your disposal. Free resources come in two broad categories: physical vs. intangible. Cash is part of the former category, and you would be surprised to see the number of subsidized small business loans, free office space and business plan competition prizes available out there right now. Among the intangibles, the most important in my view would be websites that can give useful insights about your business idea, such as the Google Adwords keyword explorer which can help you to figure out how many people are searching for the product or service you intend to offer in a given country or city. The Adwords tool is crucial because it also allows you to estimate the cost of advertising your business, and will give you an estimate regarding the marketing budget you will need to acquire a critical mass of customers in order to break even. As anyone will tell you, the marketing budget is probably the most error-prone part of any business plan, because the expected vs. real customer conversion rate may make or break a business.
3) Not asking people whether they would pay for your product / service. When it's so easy to carry out market research and ask people their honest opinion about whether they would pay a certain amount, it is an obvious mistake to "make up" some number and carry out financial calculations based on that assumption. Make sure to keep in mind two points to do an effective market research. First, do not only ask friends and family about their opinions – they will be too nice and tell you they would pay gladly for your product and service, whereas you want some people to tell you they would not pay anything so that you ask them "Why?" and address the potential problem. Second, you need to invest some effort in order to give people a visual impression of what the product or service will look like. Without such visual aid, people find it difficult to imagine making a real purchasing decision – especially important if your venture will sell big-ticket items such as eco-design homes or high-tech products.
By remembering to go through the three points above, you can really boost your chances of launching a sustainable business. Now, back to work on your business plan.

A message from NYSBA President Stephen P. Younger:
"I am pleased to inform all of our members that Ken Standard, our esteemed colleague and former president, is going to be honored at the American Bar Association's mid-year meeting in Atlanta. He is the recipient of the Life Achievement Award for Excellence in Pipeline Diversity. It is a great honor, and I was proud to have nominated Ken.
"The award is given to an individual or organization for increasing diversity in the legal profession by working along the educational pipeline to expand the success of underrepresented students, focusing on education from elementary to high school, and from college and law school into the practice of law. I can't think of anyone more deserving than Ken.
"While Ken has achieved great personal success, he has spent a lifetime in assisting those who followed him.While formerly at Bristol-Myers and now at Epstein, Becker & Green, he has been a leader in expanding opportunities for the underrepresented.
"For us in the New York State Bar Association, Ken has been the standard bearer in increasing diversity.In his term as president, he worked tirelessly and successfully to bring greater diversity not only to our membership, but, significantly, to leadership positions in the house of delegates and executive committee. Since his presidency, he has continued these efforts as committee chair. One of his major achievements was the institution of Youth Law Days, which introduces high school students of color to New York's law schools.
"In short, the ABA award is one that Ken has truly earned. I hope that you will join me in congratulating him."

Since my husband's retirement we had been looking for a lake property and decided Lake of the Ozarks was the place for us! We have five children, nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild. We chose this particular property, because we felt it could accommodate our large and growing family easily. The bedrooms are on the upper level, which provides more quiet time for the little ones and the lower level offers an open floor plan, which accommodates everyone nicely when all are inside. The property has few steps inside and out, which make it easy and safe for all. With decks, balconies, and private covered dock it provides many places for everyone to spread out when you desire some alone time. With covered dock, covered deck, and trees you have shade and the balcony and swim platform provide you with sun. The cove location with calm water provides safe swimming for all ages. Our youngest swimmer was 1 1/2 years old and spent a lot of time in the water. The men in the family are fishermen and enjoy sitting on the dock early in the morning and in the evening fishing. This is the perfect place for us and our family. We aren't able to get down every weekend, so decided to rent so that other families could enjoy it as much as we do.
The Owner purchased this house in 2010
Quiet neighborhood, nice homes in the area, quiet cove location with calm water, nice view, timbered area with abundant wildlife, near popular water restaurants, close to shopping, etc.
In a nice lake subdivision, quiet, family neighborhood, with wildlife, timber, and the lake!
They stated that they enjoyed staying at our beautiful home. They spent time in front of the fireplace and enjoyed the fall scenery and the balance of lake and timber for a nice naturistic atmosphere. They chose to stay in our home vs. a condo, because of the more personal feeling and charm of the home.
My husband and I stayed with our adult sons and our daughter-in-law for a week. The house has great features that made for a really good time. We swam, took a few spins in the paddleboat and fished often from the dock. The way the house and dock are situated make it very easy to go back and forth as you wish. The house is stocked with everything you may need while on vacation. No food of course, but the kitchen has everything you need to prepare wonderful meals to enjoy on the deck. The entire property is very well taken care of. I would recommend it without hesitation to everyone I know. We will be back again next year.
My group of women friends had a wonderful long weekend at this house. It was beautiful, immaculately clean and well furnished. Thanks, Brenda, for a peaceful, restorative place to spend time with my besties.
Great house - very well equipped with everything you need. Comfortable seating / beds ... just like home.
Quiet cove - very nice and relaxing.
We have stayed at this property for several years now and we love it!! Perfect for our group of 4 adults and 4 children. Brenda is always wonderful to work with and this house has everything that you need. We rented a boat which we were able to tie up to the dock. The kids loved swimming and fishing off the dock - and of course the slide! The new beds are great and we slept fantastic!! Thanks for another great trip!
We just returned from staying here for 4 nights with 8 of us and we all had a wonderful time. The home had everything and was VERY clean and well kept. The kitchen had every kitchen gadget you would need and the dishes and kitchen items were all very nice. We enjoyed time inside playing game, cooking meals and hanging out. The dining room table that sat 8 was perfect for us and was put to use nightly with us eating and playing games daily (the house comes with a cupboard full of games) . We also enjoyed the back deck (which has ceiling fans, nice touch) to sit on in the morning and at night to watch the deer across the lake. We had fun catching fish off the dock. We took morning walks around the neighborhood enjoying the lake view, wild life and all the beautiful homes. The home has 3 good size bathrooms which was a plus for 8 people, We could not think of a thing that the home could have used, as Brenda (the owners) has everything and more there for you!! We had such a good time and loved this home we are hoping to return next year.
The location of the home is about 25 miles from the center of the Lake of Ozarks but that made the cove that the house sits in quiet and very peacceful. We loved it!!
I also want to note that the owner- Brenda- is awesome to work with, she goes out of her way to make sure you will be happy staying at her beautiful home, Thank you Brenda!!!
I will keep this short and to the point, awesome lake house. Highly recommend.
There is an abundance of activities for everyone. As well as the water activities there are an abundance of golf courses, wonderful outlet mall, outdoor water park, indoor water park, miniature golfing, go-carting, parks, hiking, antique shops, great water and land restaurants (most are not chains), caves, bars with entertainment (by water or land), and many special activities sponsored by local groups and restaurants that are great fun as well!

RUFC - Chairman off to the KC
Rotherham United Chairman, Tony Stewart is going to Hull City's KC Stadium to look for ideas on our new ground.
With the site having been secured, Mr Stewart wants to look around other grounds and take the best elements from each to get what he wants for the Millers.
With stadium director, Terry Stewart having already started looking around other clubs' homes, the Chairman will do the same at Hull.
Speaking to The Advertiser, Mr Stewart said, 'We want a bowl design and Hull City is similar in build. We will get some ideas from there which our architects can work with.'
Mr Stewart says there was a shortlist of eight architects but that Glasgow-based Miller Partnership were head and shoulders above the rest. (And apt in name!)
'They are top dog in this field,' Mr Stewart said. 'Building a stadium is quite complex - there's a lot of detail you want to get right.'
After saying it will take about four months to acquire outline planning permission to develop the old Guest and Chrimes site, Mr Stewart said that all the engineering reports have come back as OK, although, because of the flood barrier the land will have to be raised by around a metre.
Mr Stewart says he wants the building of the stadium to run parallel with the building of the new training ground that is planned at Wingfield. But, because the Football League have given a date when the club have to move back to the town, Mr Stewart said, 'If there is a race between the two then the stadium has to come first.'
Talking about when the stadium is up and running, Mr Stewart said, 'We have to make sure that anything on the stadium that can bring in revenue is maximised to the full. In short we will be maximising our commercial opportunities both inside and outside the stadium.'
