After quitting an advertising job in New York, I returned to India and travelled around the country with a friend. Knowing that people back home would ask questions about work, I started writing, first in a Manali guesthouse and then at home in Gangtok, Sikkim.
Why do you think the publishers picked you up?
Sometimes it happens that an editor likes your work and I believe the same thing happened with me too. Since I wrote about an esoteric world about which not much has been written, I feel that could be the reason they liked my work.
Why did you start with short stories?
I had no idea short stories were given such step-daughterly treatment. The short stories just happened and it is a matter of chance that Jon Riley liked my work. I am glad everything happened in a certain way and I hope it would encourage other people to write short stories – a form, which I think is more suitable for today's busy world.
Tell us about the research that went into writing the book?
For some stories, I did not have to do any research. I just sat and all of it came to me at once but for some stories such as 'Gurkha's Daughter' I visited refugee camps in Nepal and stayed there for sometime.
You have used a number of Nepali words without explaining their meaning. Was it intentional?
Initially, I wanted to add a glossary, then I thought of adding parenthesis but at the end I left it like that. Many have applauded this.
Even the maps, which is something out of the ordinary.
Many have quoted it as the coming together of fiction and non-fiction, but for me it was a simple question: "how many people living in India know where Darjeeling or Kalimpong is?" I expressed my idea to the editor and he liked it so we went ahead.
There is a subtle message in your stories such as the flesh market message in 'the cleft,' the inequalities based on caste in 'A father's Journey'. Was it intentional?
I am not a social activist. I am a writer and to be honest I did not de-construct the book so much. I just went with the flow and wrote. Those messages were not intentional and happened as they suited the stories.
Is any part of the book your own story?
Many people have asked me if the story, The Immigrants, is mine. I want to be clear that it is not. All the stories draw inspiration from various experiences of people's lives. For example, the journey of one of my cousins from Kathmandu to Birtamod forms the backbone of the story 'The Cleft'.
Will your next work feature more politics?
Yes, my next work, which is a novel, features the Gorkhaland issue. Although, I cannot speak much about the book right now but its background is political. My writings are character driven, not event driven. Primarily, I have written about the people involved and when you write about people you can't ignore the issue.
Who is in your family?
I come from a joint family. I have one older sister and two cousins. Both my parents have retired from active service. My father was a judge and mother a lawyer, although she did not practise much. Currently they are involved in the translation of The Gurkha's Daughter in Nepali.
They must be proud of your success?
Initially, when the book made quite a bit of noise in the West, they were amused. All of us were feeling that the adulation was kind of undeserved but now that critics, authors and poets are actually coming up and writing rave reviews about my work, they feel very proud.
Going through your Facebook page I noticed that in the 'About me' section, you have written Vicky, Christina, Barcelon...
(laughs) It is just that I love Woody Allen's films and feel that the randomness of his characters is just fabulous.
What is your message to people who want to write but are too intimidated?
Start writing. If people say there is nothing as a writer's block, they are lying. On numerous occasions, I have stared at the screen not knowing what to write. Don't care about the punctuation or the framing of the sentences; just go bam bam bam on keyboard.
Who is your favourite author?
Tom Wolfe, PG Wodehouse, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and Arundhati Roy. I love Arundhati Roy. I think she is a fabulous writer, the best in India.
I loved the story, 'A Father's Journey'. Which is your favourite story from The Gurkha's Daughter?
People, especially in India loved that story but I am not too fond of it. For me there was something really beautiful in 'The Missed Blessing' and the ending where he goes on repeating the Christian prayer.

"Good recioe. For "trjogaa" you can eat ripe corn raw. If it took more than 3 to five minutes to get done it was probably too old. If you buy corn at a store or stand pick firm full pieced - no need th pull down the husk - and wait unti the water is boiling before you shuck. Corn starts drying out and loosing both taste and nutritional value within minutes of being shucked. never but corn that was already shucked."

PAST the aisles of Australiana, the antique prints, the explorations of Cook and La Perouse and the mammals of John Gould, I came to a glass case containing a familiar sight.
There it was, the Hogwarts Express and the boy with the glasses: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, a book that practically every kid has had in the house at one time or another. But this was the 2012 ANZAAB Rare Book Fair, held at the University of Melbourne last weekend. What was a novel that has sold millions of copies doing here? And was the price really $40,000?
London book dealer Peter Harrington explained. This was one of the rare hardbacks from the first edition, published on June 30, 1997. Bloomsbury was cautious with this new, unknown author, J.K. Rowling, and printed only 500 hardback copies. Of these, 300 went into libraries, where they suffered a lot of wear and tear. So, only about 200 are still in circulation, and must be in pristine condition to fetch this kind of price.
Harrington says that at first the book world was sceptical that these hardbacks would attract interest. But two weeks before the first Harry Potter movie came out, he sold the first copies he acquired for $15,000 each, and the price has rocketed since. The first buyers were speculators, but nowadays the buyers are serious collectors, the kind of people who have Shakespeare folios. ''It's changed everything,'' Harrington says, ''and I think it will last.''
Next-best thing to that first-printing hardback is a first-edition copy signed by the author. Harrington had two for sale: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for $7200, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire for $4800.
The wonderful thing about the Rare Book Fair is that it's so eclectic: among them, the 35 exhibitors offered something for every taste and every pocket. True, many of the attractions were beyond the means of the average punter - who but a dedicated and wealthy collector is going to fork out $85,000 for a single page? Not any old page, mind you - a leaf from The Gutenberg Bible, the first complete book in Western culture printed by the use of moveable type, taken from an incomplete copy.
For those with a fancy for a single page but with less cash, the Victorian book dealer Littera Scripta was offering exquisite leaves from mediaeval liturgical chants (they are taken from ''wrecks'', manuscripts already broken up). Even if all you had was $20, you could buy a quaint little gem such as Fifty-One Impromptu Conjuring Tricks.
There were a lot of ''What happened to … ?'' moments as I wandered round the booths. What happened to that beautiful pop-up book of Gulliver's Travels I had as a kid? I probably pulled it to pieces. Here was an identical copy, with illustrations by pop-up master Voitech Kubasta, for $135. What happened to my three-volume set of Lord of the Rings? Here was one that looked just the same - a first edition from 1954-55 for $37,500.
If you're wondering, ''What happened to my hardback copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?'' and you can lay your hands on it and it's still in good condition, there are a few things you need to check to discover if it's one of the precious first-edition hardbacks. Perhaps the most arresting is a mistake.
On Page 53, in the list of supplies that Harry gets from Hogwarts, the item ''1 wand'' appears twice.
So, two wands, and you hit the jackpot. Good luck!

Flag Program: Moosic Borough initiated a Memorial Flag Donation Program a few years ago; however the borough has exhausted all the flags and is in need of new ones.
When a member of the Fire Service or a Veteran of the United States Armed Services loses their life, the family of the deceased is usually presented with a United States Flag. Generally, this flag has never been raised and flown. The Memorial Flag Program will give individuals an opportunity to have their flags raised and flown in honor of their loved ones. The Memorial Flag Program may serve as closure for a family in mourning.
This program also gives Moosic Borough an opportunity to pay tribute to brothers and sisters in the fire service and to veterans in the armed services.
The flags are flown on a monthly basis from the date which the council holds its monthly meeting to the next meeting. Once the supply of flags is exhausted, the flags will be returned to the flagpole until it is no longer useful. Anyone wishing to donate a flag in memory of a loved one can do so by dropping off their flag at the municipal building.

Is there a cheap SBC (single board computer) and preferably a touchscreen combo that's available in the UK for <£120?
I saw the Beagle board, it looks very promising, but it's missing a screen. Can I get these screens in ones (ie not in bulk) and if so where do I get them from?

Do You Eat Kosher?
The surprisingly most common Jewish practice. Why?

definitely something to think about
I saw this article recently:
It is about descendants of hidden Jews/marranos in Italy and how customs like throwing an egg away if it contained blood were passed on through the generations and people didn't even know the meaning of it.
I can say that for me (and also for my mother), not eating eggs with blood has a very strong appeal.
I do eat kosher now, but even before I could never imagine to be able to eat an egg with blood! I could just never eat that.

Keeping Kosher
It was easy to keep Kosher when I lived in the Bronx, Bayside and other parts of New York and south Florida. But now I live in a small town in Texas that has very little Kosher food. Just canned or boxed items, no chicken or meat. So it is harder for me as I am elderly and do not drive to keep Kosher. You ask why I moved to such a place...to be closer to my only family member who is not religious. So I do what I can and I am content.

There is a Difference
Eating Kosher food and Keeping Kosher are fundamentally different. Buying Kosher products preparing and eating them is relatively easy. Keeping Kosher at restaurants and keeping a kosher kitchen at home takes real family commitment. Kosher isn't eating better or more healthy or cleaner food. It is a reverence for the life being taken so we can have meat. ~~~~~~~~~~~ A couple years ago I told my Dr. I was beginning to eat kosher, (he is a fine Jewish man) he chuckled and said he might as well prescribe cholesterol lowering drugs right now.

Jew Eating Kosher
Sorry, I have to disagree. When you say most Jews try to eat something kosher, are you referring to the tri-State area, or the Ukraine where it is not too easy to get koshe food? I just returned from there on a 12 visit, a week of it spent with completely secular Jews. All of them were totally comfortable eating the food in Ukraine, which always consists of meat, even for breakfast, as well as meat and cheese together. Some many have eaten pork, which is also very popular in Ukraine. No one was in the least inconvenienced food wise, except for my husband and myself. We brought some vacuum packed stuff from the States and ate a lot ofr fruit and vegetables. Of the twenty on the tour, at least 17 were Jewish.

The Belvidere Middle School auditorium was packed Thursday night, not for a school production, but rather a forum for residents to share their thoughts about the school district.
Nearly 250 came out to the debut Vision 100, which discussed Belvidere schools' enrollment and predictions on how many will fill classrooms in the future. After leaders shared their findings on the district's demographics, the meeting broke off into small groups. Residents shared their ideas on how to handle the expected growth.
Those in attendance are happy for another chance to be heard by district leaders.
"I think there are people who aren't comfortable speaking in front of a microphone or having to stand up and identify themselves, but this format people will be more willing to speak in this informal setting, this small group setting," Belvidere resident Dian Hornick said.
"Hopefully this will give us the opportunity to put together a recommendation that meets everyone's needs and everyone can rally around," Vision 100 co-chair Kim Larson said.
Belvidere school board members say they're happy with the meeting's turnout.
The next Vision 100 meeting will take place on Oct. 21 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Belvidere Middle School.

(SportsNetwork.com) - Thomas Howard, a linebacker who played five seasons for the Oakland Raiders and who was cut by the Atlanta Falcons last week, died in a car accident early Monday morning on a highway in California, according to reports.
"RIP to a great friend and teammate in Thomas Howard. You will be missed bro," Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, a teammate of Howard's in 2012, tweeted Monday night.
Howard, 30, was one of two people killed after he lost control of his car on Interstate 880, TV station KRON first reported.
Several other media outlets confirmed Howard died in the accident, which the California Highway Patrol said was reported at 12:50 a.m. south of Fifth Ave. in Oakland.
According to reports, Howard was driving a BMW 750Li northbound at a high rate of speed when the car clipped a semi-truck, went airborne and crossed the center median onto southbound 880, where it struck a Chevrolet Monte Carlo and crashed into a Honda CR-V. The driver of the Honda was also killed, according to reports.
Howard was born in Lubbock, Texas, and played four seasons at Texas-El Paso. At 6-foot-3 and around 240 pounds, he was drafted in the second round in 2006 by late Raiders owner Al Davis after running a 4.42-second 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine.
He played five seasons for the Raiders, starting at least 15 games in each of the first four. In his best NFL season, Howard recorded 95 tackles, one sack and six interceptions in 2007. He returned two of the picks for touchdowns.
Howard played two seasons for the Cincinnati Bengals from 2011-12, but missed the last 15 games in 2012 after tearing his ACL during practice. He was signed by the Falcons on Oct. 22 and appeared in two games before they cut him Nov. 12.
In 95 NFL games, Thomas had 492 tackles, six sacks and seven interceptions.

I have owned a lot of nice cars in my 86 years, from a 1931 Model A Roadster to a 1968 Pontiac GTO. In the early '50s I was a GM car designer and got to play with the 1950 Buick LeSabre in our studio. But my favorite car was this 1973 Opel GT that I drove for 13 years, until I retired. My biggest mistake was giving it to my 16-year-old grandson. Now I drive a 13-year-old minivan.

SEATTLE – Margaret Helen Grove, 99, of Seattle, died Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2013.
She was born Margaret Helen Sloane on Jan. 1, 1914, in Boston. Peg was 9 years old when her family moved to Seattle. Her father, Martin Sloane, was in the insurance business. Peg's mother, Helen Sloane, graduated from Simmons Girls College in Boston in the late 1800s. Peg was 14 when she met Paul Grove. He was from Dixon and had enrolled at the University of Washington. Homesick, he moved back to Dixon. When Peg was 19, Paul went back to Seattle. They were married. They lived in LaSalle just short of 50 years. They started Grove's Cleaners, and worked side by side.
When Paul died in 1983, Peg sold the family home and Grove's Cleaners. She moved back to Seattle with her daughter, Chris Grove, and her two granddaughters, Martina Guarin and Katrina Milne. She lived in Seattle for 30 years. During those years, other family members joined her in the Northwest. She died at home in Seattle, with family by her side. Before she died, she talked about driving in the driveway at 1368 Chartres St., LaSalle. She wanted to go home.
Peg and Paul had six children. At the time of her death, she had two living children, Cindy McKay and Christine Grove. She had lost Anne in infancy, Peggy Grove Schweikert, Sister Mary Paul Grove, and most recently, her only son, Richard "Dick" Grove.
She also is survived by many grandchildren and many great-grandchildren.
Peg's homecoming will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Aug. 10 at St. Patrick Church in LaSalle. Burial of her ashes next to Paul will be at St. Vincent Cemetery in LaSalle, followed by a reception at the Paramount Club in LaSalle.

Marvel Universe
Base of Operations
Formerly Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, Westchester, New York
First Appearance
House of M: The Day After (2006)
Current Members:
Unknown, possibly none
Many of the mutants that retained their abilities were relocated to a tent city on the grounds of the Xavier Institute, "protected" by Sentinel Squad O*N*E. Since this group includes many former X-Men villains, the arrangement was strained at best. After learning that early U.S. government estimates cited only 198 mutants remaining, those mutants living on the Xavier Institute grounds sought a symbol to rally around and adopted the name "198" for themselves.
Recently, X-Force organized an assault in the X-Mansion to free the 198 from the grounds, leading them to an abandoned military base. However, they were founded by some of the X-Men, and also by Bishop and his squad, which was attacked by Cyclops (Johnny Dee manipulated Cyclops). The confrontation began, and they knew that the military base would be destroyed, with 198 inside.Val Cooper discovered the manipulation of Johnny Dee and warned Bishop, who asked for the confrontation stop. Iron Man and Ms. Marvel arrive to help, and with effort, they save the 198, which once received the freedom to leave the X-Mansion.

SHW circulation pumps have no suction lift and must be primed (be below the source water) at all times to function. They normally have life spans of 10 to 20 years and are made to withstand fluid temperatures up to 240°F.
Alternating current (AC) solar pumps are lubricated only by the circulating fluid. Many direct current (DC) pumps powered by PV modules and a few AC pumps use a magnetic drive. The magnet is an interface between the motor and the spinning impeller. These also usually lack provisions for periodic lubrication.
Always replace pumps with ones made of the same materials and close to the same head and flow specifications. Replacement pumps don't need to be from the same manufacturer.
Pump stations are factory-assembled with most of the components needed for an antifreeze system and save installation time. A caution with the stations is that some have pumps with a check valve in the pump impeller housing. Pumps used in a drainback system cannot include a check valve, so be sure that you use the correct one for your system.
Bearing failure. The most common problem with pumps is bearing failure, which becomes more likely to occur if the pump is installed incorrectly. The shaft of the pump should be oriented horizontally. A pump with the impeller housing on the top or bottom has the shaft in a vertical orientation, which can increase lateral pressure on the bearings.
A continuous screeching noise is a sign of bearings that are about to fail. If the pump impeller is locked up (not movable by hand), the bearings are frozen and the pump needs to be replaced. Pumps mounted with the shaft vertical can also have air trapped in the housing, stopping the circulation.
Damaged motor windings. Although less common, motor windings can also fail. If the impeller spins and the capacitor checks out OK, the windings are probably the problem. Winding failure is usually accompanied by a strong burned smell, so you should test this only after you've ruled out bearing failure. AC-powered pumps often use a capacitor to start the pump. The housing on AC pumps where the wire or conduit enters the pump contains the capacitor. A capacitor must be removed to be tested, and the wire connections should be marked to put it back together correctly. A multimeter on a low resistance measuring scale is used to charge and discharge the capacitor by alternating the meter leads on the two capacitor wires. If the meter exhibits a burst of resistance when charged and then falls back to open (discharged), the capacitor is good. If the capacitor doesn't cycle through this simple charge/discharge test, replace it. A new capacitor costs less than $20; a new bronze high-head pump can cost a few hundred, so it is worth the time to rule out the capacitor first.

Guitar Rock Tour 2 Review
Late last year, Gameloft delivered Guitar Rock Tour, which was essentially a Guitar Hero clone. While it was somewhat shameless how much GRT 'borrowed' the structure and mechanics of Guitar Hero, it was a good rhythm game that sold relatively well. So it comes as no surprise to us that Gameloft is hedging its bets with a sequel in Guitar Rock Tour 2. Is there enough here to justify forking out an additional $4.99 if you own the original?
If you've played Rock Band or Guitar Hero, you'll immediately know what to do when the music starts. This a rhythm game that is all about being in sync with the music and tapping a rolling stream of note patterns.
Nope, no similarities to Rock Band or Guitar Hero at all…
Guitar Rock Tour 2 doesn't deviate from its predecessor in many respects. The scrolling note track, 'pyro' meter, three-level difficulty system, scoring system, fictional characters, and career progression are all holdovers from the original. It seems like the developers went with an 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' mentality. Unfortunately, our biggest gripe from a control perspective still applies. We continue to have issues with the game's forced vertical orientation. This design decision makes playing chords an imprecise science, and it gets really annoying on the higher (faster) difficulty levels.
The biggest feature that makes the Guitar Rock Tour franchise different is the fact that you can play songs as a guitarist or a drummer. In both the Quick Play and Career Mode, picking your instrument creates a unique note track to play through. While playing as a guitarist is somewhat similar to the experience you'd see in a Tap Tap Revenge game, playing as a drummer still has a novel feel about it. You'll feel like a badass pounding out complex patterns that power the music. Overall we felt that the note patterns were a little tighter and more rhythmic compared to the original, and the sturdy performance on our 3GS made gameplay smooth.
We're happy to see that Guitar Rock Tour got a facelift with its visuals. Things weren't ugly in the original, but the slickness here is undeniable. The menus are snappy and colorful while maintaining great loading times. As a cool touch, there are several selectable paint jobs that can be placed on your guitar.
Slapping some bass.
We feel that one area where Guitar Rock Tour 2 takes a step back is in its playlist. The original game had a well-rounded soundtrack with a variety of oldies and modern tracks. The 18 song tracklist here tilts toward the classic crowd with tracks from the 60s, 70s, and 80s dominating. If you love artists like David Bowie, Judas Priest, and The Knack, you won't mind the classic emphasis. Here's hoping that future DLC helps balance the selection a bit better.
Multiplayer gameplay over local wifi is the new big headline feature in Guitar Rock Tour 2. The formula is inspired by Guitar Hero 3's 'Battle Mode'. Your goal is to finish the song with a higher percentage of notes hit than your opponent. Completing special sequences successfully serves up a special attack that can be deployed at any time on your opponent. It works well, but it's not exactly innovative.
Guitar Rock Tour 2 is a fine game, but it's not the leap we expected to see nine months removed from its predecessor. Instead of sticking to the script while adding new graphics and a multiplayer mode, we would have loved to see an effort to take the franchise to the next level. Wouldn't a 'vocals' mode that leverages the iPhone's microphone be cool? How sweet would co-op modes be to truly assemble an impromptu rock band over the web? We recognize that these are ambitious undertakings, but we strongly feel that the Guitar Rock Tour franchise could be the vehicle to usher in a new generation of collaborative rhythm games for the iPhone.

OAKLAND, Calif. – The Oakland Athletics have traded lefty Travis Blackley to the Houston Astros for minor league outfielder Jake Goebbert, a Hampshire High School and Northwestern graduate.
The A's announced the deal Thursday before heading to Houston to begin a three-game series with the Astros. Blackley is expected to be on the Astros' roster for the series beginning Friday.
Goebbert is a .285 career hitter with 31 homers and 237 RBIs in 456 games over four seasons in the minors.
Blackley went 6-4 with a 3.86 ERA in 24 games for Oakland last season. He was designated for assignment Friday after posting a 14.21 ERA in spring training.
Earlier in the day, A's right-hander Josh Stinson was claimed off waivers by Baltimore and first baseman Daric Barton cleared waivers. Barton has been outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento.

#1 Chronic unemployment worse than Great Depression06-07-2011, 03:22 AM
Kinda suprised to see this from a network. Methinks the noose is gonna start tightening on the Obama campaign before long.
There is an unfortunate adage for the unemployed: The longer folks are out of a job, the longer it takes them to find a new one.
CBS News correspondent Ben Tracy reports that the chronically unemployed face the hardest road back to recovery, and that while the jobs picture may be improving statistically on a national level, it is not for them.
Tinong Nwachan, for example, has far too much time on his hands. When CBS News met the former truck driver he had been out of work for two years.
"I don't really tell too many people this but I'm not ashamed or nothing, I'm homeless," Nwachan said.
His day job is looking for work at a jobs center in Hollywood. He has plenty of company, including Fabian Lambrecht, who wonders when the economy's improvement will affect them.
"They're saying there are more jobs. I'm just wondering where those jobs are," Lambrecht said.
About 6.2 million Americans, 45.1 percent of all unemployed workers in this country, have been jobless for more than six months - a higher percentage than during the Great Depression.
The bigger the gap on someone's resume, the more questions employers have.
"(Employers) think: 'Oh, well, there must be something really wrong with them because they haven't gotten a job in 6 months, a year, 2 years.' But that's not necessarily the case," said Marjorie Gardner-Cruse with the Hollywood Worksource Center.
The problem of course is the economy, but some industries, especially certain manufacturing jobs, are not ever expected to come back. Experts say unemployed workers need to be prepared to change careers.
"That person has to realize that, discover what field they want to work in, become trained and find a job in that field," said Jerry Nickelsburg, Sr., an economist at UCLA.
Here's another problem: more than 1 million of the long-term unemployed have run out of unemployment benefits, leaving them without the money to get new training, buy new clothes, or even get to job interviews.
"If you have been unemployed for 6 months or more, it takes a much deeper toll - not just on your personal finances and your career prospects - but on your emotional well-being," said Paul Taylor, an executive vice president with the Pew Research Center.
Tinong Nwachan said no matter how hard it's been, he isn't giving up on his search.
"I'm taking everything one day at a time. Eventually I know I'm gonna find something," Nwachan said.
All he says he's hoping for is a job that will take more of his time, and take him off the streets.

In hockey, it means you have to sit in the penalty box for five minutes.

It's a measure of the times that the new version of The Karate Kid manages to be longer and bigger-budgeted than the original while having lesser impact.

You could also say it's like they're likable tourists on a quest to plunder an endearing movie that didn't need this mediocre remake.
Solidly entertaining.
Fun, and believable, on the most important level: It convinces us that Jaden Smith has what it takes to fight his way to the top.
See all The Karate Kid reviews at Metacritic.com
OK for kids 9+
Remake has new stars, new country, but same winning spirit.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this Karate Kid remake is a faithful adaptation of the original but because the central character is 12 instead of 16, the language and romance is appropriately scaled back, even though the violence is a bit more startling. There's not much cursing (a few uses of the word "ass") or sexuality (mild flirting and one chaste kiss), but there are a whole lot of fight scenes. The Chinese bullies are pretty merciless both off and on the mat. They're even willing to do some unethical moves to secure a championship. But when it comes down to it, this is a friendship story between old and young, East and West, and that's a fine message for young kids.
Messages: As with the original, the Karate Kid 2010's message is supposed to be that violence doesn't solve problems and that pure martial arts are about peace and self reflection, not fighting or revenge. While there is a lot of of violence, the overall theme of the film is a positive one.
Role models: It's very very obvious who's "good" and who's not. Mr. Han considers and discusses martial arts almost like yoga -- a sacred practice that should never be abused. Meanwhile, Master Li is a competitive zealot who espouses the importance of "No weakness, no mercy!"
Violence: The new Karate Kid boasts just as much bullying and martial-arts violence as the original, but these characters are middle-school aged, not high-schoolers. There are black eyes, cracked ribs, and broken bones. Plus, one scene features an adult against five eager-to-brawl tweens and teens.
Sex: Dre, who is 12, is obviously interested in Meiying, and they flirt with each other quite openly. After some hand holding, they play a dance video game, and during her hip-hop dance, he stares at her wide-eyed and tells her "You're dancing is HOT." They eventually share one brief closed-mouth kiss.
Language: Aside from the word "ass," which Karate Kid Jaden Smith says about four times, there's the occasional "stupid," "loser" and the like.
Consumerism: Since the movie takes place in China, there's not a whole lot of visible consumerism, but some brands that stand out include SpongeBob SquarePants (in Mandarin!), Volkswagen, and Air China.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: In one scene, Mr. Han looks and acts drunk (a bottle of Chinese alcohol is shown).

I found this to work really well. First get some light/soft steel wool then really wet the window with glass cleaner. Next start rubbing the window with the wool in a circular motion. Re-wet the window if needed. Then when it starts feeling nice and smooth take some paper or a rag and wipe the window clean. And that will take any road tar, tree sap, paint fumes, etc off your windows.
Keep in mind not to do this on the inside of any rear window that has defrost or that could damage the electic wire.
Also to help keep gunk from sticking to your windows, try waxing them with a good paint wax. Just don't do the front other wise your wipers may not wipe your window too good.
Hope this helps someone

Intentional hash in the beginning. May run a looong time. Wipes your data for real. Was meant to be /dev/urandom - I mistyped it. :-)
After this, just type:
You need to install "beep" before this would make the beep sound.
Save it in your .profile if you want to use it later
WARNING: this command won't exit until it is successful. You won't be able to CONTROL+C out of it.
Strangely enough, there is no option --lines=[negative] with tail, like the head's one, so we have to use sed, which is very short and clear, you see. Strangely more enough, skipping lines at the bottom with sed is not short nor clear. From Sed one liner : # delete the last 10 lines of a file $ sed -e :a -e '$d;N;2,10ba' -e 'P;D' # method 1 $ sed -n -e :a -e '1,10!{P;N;D;};N;ba' # method 2 Show Sample Output
print multiple increasing years using cal - calendar -. You can also try
seq Start Increment End
Depending on the installation only certain of these man pages are installed. 12 is left out on purpose because ISO/IEC 8859-12 does not exist. To also access those manpages that are not installed use opera (or any other browser that supports all the character sets involved) to display online versions of the manpages hosted at kernel.org:
for i in $(seq 1 11) 13 14 15 16; do opera http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man7/iso_8859-$i.7.html; done
The arguments of "seq" indicate the starting value, step size, and the end value of the x-range. "awk" outputs (x, f(x)) pairs and pipes them to "graph", which is part of the "plotutils" package.
Displays six rows and five columns of random numbers between 0 and 1. If you need only one column, you can dispense with the "for" loop. Show Sample Output
Another combination of seq and awk. Not very efficient, but sufficiently quick. Show Sample Output
"seq 100" outputs 1,2,..,100, separated by newlines. awk adds them up and displays the sum.
"seq 1 2 11" outputs 1,3,..,11.
1+3+...+(2n-1) = n^2
seq 1 2 19 | awk '{sum+=$1} END {print sum}' # displays 100

Optionally, one can use {1..50} instead of seq. E.g. for i in {1..50} ; do echo Iteration $i ; done Show Sample Output
Seq allows you to define printf like formating by specified with -f, %03g is actually tells seq I got three digits, fill the blank digits with 0, and the range is from 176 to 240.

EL PASO, Texas – Britny Edwards recorded a double-double and four Pirates scored in double figures, but the East Carolina women's basketball team was unable to overcome a second half rally by UTEP as ECU dropped an 81-66 decision to the Miners.
With the loss, East Carolina drops to 11-4 (1-1 C-USA), while UTEP improves to 14-1 (2-0 C-USA).
Britny Edwards registered 13 points and 10 rebounds to go along with two assists and one block, while Celeste Stewart notched 12 points, eight boards, five assists, one steal, and one block. Whitny Edwards also contributed 12 points and added four rebounds, while Kyani White tallied 11 points, two boards, a pair of assists and one steal. Tatiana Chapple turned in a solid performance with five rebounds, four points, one assist and one steal, while Ariana Jackson came off the bench and registered five boards, three points and a block.
The Pirates started the game well as they jumped out to a 6-2 lead. ECU led the entire first half as the Pirate defense limited the Miners to a 25-percent shooting clip. The East Carolina defense did not allow UTEP to score a field goal for nearly five minutes during the first half. The Pirates finished the first half on a 10-3 run as they took a 35-27 advantage into the locker room.
In the first half, ECU was led by Stewart who finished the frame shooting 50-percent from the field and collected eight points. Stewart added two rebounds and a pair of assists. White and Whitny Edwards contributed six points each in the half.
The break in action worked in the Miners' favor as UTEP came out in the second half and knocked down six straight points to open the frame. The Miners shot 48.6-percent in the half, while the Pirates shot 33.3-percent and were forced into seven turnovers.
ECU held the edge on UTEP for the first nine minutes of the half, however, UTEP's Kelli Willingham hit a three-pointer at the 10:47 mark to tie the game at 48. That seemed to be the turning point for the Pirates as they were unable to contain the Miners' offense from that point on. The Miners used the last ten minutes of the contest to turn a deficit into a lead and eventually held off the Pirates, 81-66.
UTEP had five players in double figures in Kayla Thornton (21 points), Anete Steinberga (19), Willingham (15), Irene Gari (12), and Chrishauna Parker (12). Gari and Parker led the Miners in rebounds with nine each.
The Pirates look to get back on the winning track when they travel to Memphis for a Thursday evening contest. ECU and Memphis will meet on January 17, at 8 p.m. (ET).

Isaiah 25: 6-10a
Psalm 23: 1- 3a, 3b – 4, 5, 6
Matthew 15: 29 – 37
I took my time reading the texts that were given to me. I wanted to try and see if I could imagine myself experiencing the things that God and Jesus were doing in the text. I did not really feel anything at first so I read over the text several times to try and open my imagination a little more. After reading the text a few more times I started to understand what I read. I was reminded that God was willing to provide for all the people no matter who they are. Trusting that God will provide for me, for us, gives me great confidence and deepens my belief in God's love for me. The words that come to mind are "confidence and belief."
I did not always have the confidence that I have today while in college. Because of my lack of self-confidence my ability to believe in myself and other people in my life was affected. I know for a fact that I struggled a lot when it came to my education. I struggled so much in fact that I ended getting left back a year in elementary school. It was not easy because I felt like I would never finish my education and never accomplish anything. These scripture readings and my reflection reminded me that I was never alone during my struggles. My mother, father and sister were always there to support me and encourage me. In some ways, I believe that God was by my side no matter was going on in my life. With the help of my family, I was always able to find the confidence to do anything that I set my mind to, no matter how simple or difficult it was at the time. These readings have done something good for me. They remind me that I have my family's support and even when they are not around I know God, through the power of Jesus, watches over me. Because of my family's love and God's love for me, I have grown in self-confidence and believe in my own abilities to accomplish my goals. Just like the way St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi had the confidence to do all the things that they did for God, I also trust!

Isaiah 25: 6 - 10a
Psalm 23: 1 – 3a, 3b – 4, 5, 6
Matthew 15: 29 - 37
God works in mysterious ways. Humans, typically Americans, have the attitude that if they want something done then they have to do it themselves. If this is true then why do these same people turn to God for their sports team or for getting to work on time? I believe we should let God work in the manner He has to work to protect and serve us. I am not saying it is wrong to pray for these things because I pray for these intentions also; however, these passages are not about the words in the prayers but the belief behind the prayers. The readings describe God coming to the people and making right what needs to be right. God did what needed to be done in His eyes, not because people were crying for Him to help, but because they believed He could help.
No one can see God but that doesn't mean He is not there. This Christmas, little kids may not see Santa putting presents under their tree and they do not question it because they simply believe. They scream out every Christmas morning saying, "Thank you, Santa!" That is why I can believe in Santa just as I believe in God. I do not know how all those presents appear that day just as I do not know what I am going to be doing in two hours, but I believe. I have the faith that God is looking out for me and regardless of what I go through, He will be there. I do not know my future; which people will be in it, or what I will be doing, but I have the faith to realize that someone does. My faith teaches me that God is that someone. I do not have to question God for what He does because I know that He will take care of me just as He fed the people when they were hungry and God even provided plenty of left overs! I do not need to question how those left overs appear in my life because I know God knows the answer and He has my back, and for that I thank Him.

Brokaw — who wants the ad withdrawn — says: "I am extremely uncomfortable with the extended use of my personal image in this political ad. I do no want my role as a journalist compromised for political gain by any campaign."
Extended use? The ad is 30 seconds long. And how does it "compromise" Brokaw's role as a journalist? Anyone can see it's the archival footage of the news from 1997, and the point of using Brokaw is that it makes it plain that this is the straightforward news of that time, not any pumped up, slanted presentation.
... unless — ironically! — Tom Brokaw's role as a journalist is already — in the minds of viewers — compromised. I mean, when you look at this ad, do you think: Oh, there's that terrible left-leaning NBC News making what Gingrich did look as bad as possible? Or do you think: That's the regular, professional news as it appeared in 1997, informing us of some disturbingly bad things Gingrich did?
Obviously, Mitt Romney is using the clip on the theory that you'll think the latter, and therefore it boosts Brokaw's reputation as a neutral journalist. Brokaw's objection is self-undermining.
IN THE COMMENTS: Lem says:
