Two years ago, Syria was a very different place. In early March, 2011, a group of boys in the southern city of Daraa brazenly scribbled graffiti criticizing Bashar al-Assad, the President of Syria. The words included the mantra of revolution that had ricocheted from Tunisia to Egypt, from Yemen to Bahrain: "The people want the fall of the regime." The authorities' response was as swift as it was predictable: the boys were detained and tortured.
On March 15, 2011, some people in Daraa took to the streets to demand the boys' release. There were also small demonstrations in other parts of Syria, including in the capital city, Damascus, where rumblings of discontent had slowly become more pronounced over the preceding weeks. Those demonstrations were the beginning.
Two years later, Syria is at war. What does the Syrian war look like? It looks like shells that crash and thud and thump into residential streets, sometimes with little warning. It looks like messy footprints in a pool of blood on a hospital floor as armed local men, many in mismatched military attire and civilian clothing, rush in their wounded colleagues, or their neighbors.
It's a hospital foyer bursting with armed men trying to find out who is hurt, who is dead, and what is happening. A young boy and a girl, siblings, covered in a fine dust. They're hurriedly patched up and walked out of the hospital to make way for a stream of others. The Syrian war sounds like women asking about their sons.
And it sounds like a hospital generator that hums and sputters and cuts out because there's no diesel to run it, or because the diesel is too expensive. A doctor pauses, waiting for the power to come back on, before he resumes stitching the scalp at the base of a little girl's skull. There's no anesthetic. Her short, curly black hair is still in pigtails, tied with pink bands. Her name is Tala, and she is screaming for her mother. Her father hurriedly pulls aside the blood-spattered green curtain that delineates the tiny consulting room from a slightly larger one, where an elderly man and a woman are lying on the blood-streaked floor. They are bleeding into the floor, creating new pools of blood. Médecins Sans Frontières says that medical structures are targeted and destroyed and that health-care workers are killed for doing their job, creating the need for secret field clinics that are usually poorly stocked.
The Syrian war looks, too, like dusty shoes spilling out of a cardboard box by the open door of a deserted, partially destroyed home in a town that, like many, is devoid of civilians. The box is near a child's black-ink drawing on the wall, of a helicopter. There are a little girl's white sneakers with blue butterflies near a woman's black wedge-heeled slipper, a man's lace-up dress shoes, and a toddler's orange patent-leather sandals. Things are in their place; their owners are gone. It also looks like things that are out of place, like a kitchen sink in somebody's grassy, rubble-carpeted garden. The Syrian war looks like the millions of people who have become refugees or are internally displaced. It looks like others who say they'd rather die in their homes than live off of handouts in a tent.
What does the Syrian war look like? It looks like significant number of people who, for reasons of ideology or patronage or fear, believe that Assad's regime the best option. It looks like a growing number of people, even those within the rebel ranks, who eye the increasing clout of Jihadists and other Islamists and fear what they may turn Syria into.
What does the Syrian war sound like? It sounds like the women of an extended family, aunts and sisters, mothers and grandmothers, sitting in a room where thin mattresses line the walls, discussing what kind of a Syria they want to live in. They're in darkness because there's no electricity.
Mayada, a young, strong-willed, English-literature major, says that, in her heart, she wants an Islamic state, but she recognizes that in Syria, a multi-ethnic and multi-sectarian society, that is unlikely. She says an Islamic state would be "more just." Her aunt Sarea, who is just a few years older than her, snickers at her remarks. She won't live in an Islamic state, she says. Unless that state is modelled on Turkey, it'll be an excuse to lock women up in their homes.
The two women debate the issue for hours, and others chime in. In the end, they agree that an Islamic state is not the best option—not because Islam doesn't grant rights to women but because the male clerics who interpret the religion cannot be trusted.
What does the Syrian war look like? It looks like armed men with little accountability. It looks like the amateur video of a local character known as the Yellow Man of Aleppo, an eccentric older man decked out in yellow, from his ivy cap to his shoes, being humiliated by young thugs who belong to a unit of the Free Syrian Army in the northern city. They accuse him of being a government spy, a fassfoos, in the local slang.
They spit on him, tell him to bark like a dog, make him repeat vulgarities about Assad's female relatives. "Take a picture of me pulling his mustache," a young, smiling, fresh-faced rebel tells the camera. They take turns plucking out hairs from his graying blond mustache. "Are you Sunni?" the cameraman asks the Yellow Man. "Do you like Alawites or do you hate them?" he asks, referring to the sect that Assad belongs to. "I hate them," the Yellow Man replies. "Liar!" one of the young men says as he slaps the old man's face. Some men may become what they are fighting.
What does the Syrian war look like? It looks like another amateur video, taken from the other side of this increasingly intractable divide. A man, bloodied and beaten, hands tied behind his back, is dragged along the gritty asphalt by uniformed, armed government soldiers. He's wearing nothing but his white underwear. He cannot even lift his head, which scrapes along the street. He turns onto his back. "Where are your wife and children?" one of his tormentors asks, stepping on the man's face with his black boot. Somebody asks for a piece of glass to cut the man's tongue out. They curse him, mock him, and laugh as they torment him.
"For God's sake, please, just let me say goodbye to my children," the man says, knowing that his end is near. His face is swollen, bloodied. "Will you let me fuck your wife?" one of his tormentors asks, mockingly. "If you let me, you can see your children." "No," the man says, "my wife is my soul, my children are my soul. My wife is the crown on my head."
"The crown on your head?" He kicks the man's head. Others laugh as they continue dragging him along the street, trying to decide where to dump him.
This is what the Syrian war looks like. Every man with a gun is an authority, and for some the enemy—who was once their neighbor—is no longer a person. How can a man who has inflicted such harm, and become used to that sort of power, let it go and step back—especially if others do not?
What does the Syrian war look like? It looks like ad-hoc rebel checkpoints set up along roads. As state authority disintegrates, other forms of power naturally emerge—a person's surname, his tribal affiliation if he has one (and the size of his tribe)—can mean the difference between being harassed or being allowed to freely pass. Religious authorities come to the fore. It is natural, for example, that Sharia courts are trying to impose order on lawlessness. A person's name or local accent can reveal a sectarian identity and, by extension, a presumed political view. People are being reduced to their base identity even as they also retreat into it.
What does the Syrian war sound like? It sounds like laughter, like people who can still find humor in their predicament and joke about it. Even as death becomes so commonplace that traditional mourning periods are shortened and rituals are overlooked, people learn to make do, to live with their new reality. Have you heard the joke about the man who finds a magic lamp, rubs it, and a genie appears? "Your wish is my command," the genie says. "Great," the man says. "I need a bottle of cooking gas." The following day, the man rubs the lamp again, summoning an irate genie. "What do you want?" the genie says. "I've run out of diesel," the man says. "Couldn't you wait a few days? Now I've lost my spot in the queue for cooking gas!"
Abu Mohanad was a first lieutenant in Assad's army. He is a member of the minority Druze sect, and is now part of a unit of the Free Syrian Army. The other men jokingly call him "the Salafi Druze," a religious oxymoron that plays on Assad's branding of all his opponents as extreme Islamist Salafis and terrorists. He'd been married for only thirty-five days when he defected, and hasn't seen his wife in over a year. Abu Mohanad's unit cobbles together rockets from scavenged water pipes, fertilizer, and metal street signs, which are used for the fins. "In every place where we removed a street sign, we left somebody to offer directions!" Abu Mohanad's colleague Abu Hussein says, laughing.
What is the Syrian war like? It is frightening, bloody, depressing, and sometimes uplifting. It is numbing. It is every human emotion on a heightened level. What does the Syrian war look like? Above all, it looks like the names and faces of the seventy thousand people the United Nations says have been killed in the two years since the uprising began. The real figure is likely much higher. The U.N. number is of those whose names or faces are known, and doesn't include the countless others who are still missing, who may be in mass graves. At least seventy thousand people dead. That means seventy thousand individuals, each part of a family, each family part of a community, each community part of a country. That is what the Syrian war looks like.

20th Nov 2015, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Nexgram Holdings Berhad ("NEXGRAM"), part of entrepreneur Larry Tey Por Yee's Malaysia investment vehicle, today announced that it has proposed to acquire packaging company Ire-Tex Corporation Bhd ("IRETEX") which could cost over RM50 million is expected to boost its group financial performance in the long run.
In a statement to Bursa Malaysia on Friday, Nexgram had announced that it planned to do this through an equity swap based on 40 sen per Ire-Tex share, 1 sen per warrant and 5 sen per irredeemable convertible unsecured loan stocks (Iculs).
Based on market consensus, the deal is expected to close within the next two months, subject to regulatory and shareholders approval. This acquisition will increase NEXGRAM's total assets under the group to over RM450 million, elevating NEXGRAM's consolidated sales and profit to double in year 2016, or estimated RM250 million and RM20 million respectively.
Senior investment banker familiar with M&A dealings, commented: "This acquisition gives Nexgram an excellent opportunity to accelerate Ire-Tex's growth strategy in Malaysia, which is already the country largest high-end packaging specialist serving American Fortune 500 customers, especially in renewable energy and aviation industries. Ire-Tex having their own research and development (R&D) lab stands out among conventional players. Malaysia's Ringgit vs US Dollar arbitrage gave Ire-Tex pricing advantage, where most of their clients are from America, and regional orders would expect to experience healthy growth over the next few years which, fueled by growth in global renewal energy products demand, clearly indicates an increasing demand for industrial product packaging services."
The banker added: "The professionalism and commitment of Ire-Tex's consultants in earning their customers' trust are impressive. Their success highlights that there is a market need for professional product packaging advice and logistic planning. Nexgram would likely aim to build on their strong foundation over the coming years and bring their technology and services to Nexgram's presence across Asia. Both Nexgram and Ire-Tex will benefit and further enhance their success by leveraging on each other's clientele and expertise in cross selling products and services, having instant access to each other's world class clientele."
Incorporated in year 2002, Ire-Tex currently has over 478 staff strength, and recently went through facilities consolidation and corporate restructuring plan in order to facilitate higher demand from multi-national customers. Book orders have been increasing the last few quarters. Despite a failed investment in LED project, the overall business growth is in line with market trend. The group hired professional consultants to improve the new factory process flows which went through smoothly under current management. The investment is expected to recover in coming year, together with kitchen sinking strategy to be implemented within year 2015, where market perceive as a smart move for a fast growing company which practices good corporate governance.
"When good solutions to cut down cost and slim down processes is implemented, there are savings to be made, which also means some interest parties may not be happy as money taken away from the system. That's all about when comes to restructuring, nothing so special", commented a senior partner of business consultancy firm.
As part of normal restructuring process, Ire-Tex management had hired independent professionals to study and audit on some dubious allegation believed to be pure corporate sabotage, with satisfactory results. An audit specialist commented "Ire-Tex attracts envy and jealousy where they stands out among other players having cutting-edge technology and outstanding customer services. It's over done that they even hired professionals to do extra review to fine tune their own operation, but now it's clear that every steps are within their plan, nothing to shout about when comes to commercial decision as long financial results could justify." According to the review report, there is no financial impact along the house keeping process, despite the budget over run due to increase of capacity requirement on factory construction, which is normal for most custom-build factories. Other capital expenditures were already approved before the company went though a Right Issue exercise, hence there is no further approval required except update reports, and these are all normal operation matters and it's procedural. "The good news is, the extra report just reassured their investors the company is on track to grow the business. It's a smart choice that their investors invested in the team, market believes the long term reward would be exponential", added the specialist.
A senior investment firm officer said "We are in a low business margin yet fast changing era and there are no pure solutions for achieving a well-diversified business model and fatal to rely on single source of income. Therefore, some cross industry investing is beneficial. With this transaction extending the reach of International clientele here in Malaysia, I believe Ire-Tex would look forward to leveraging Nexgram global expertise to bring the merged company to be a strong player in pursing sustainability in today's competitive business environment."

Local Marketing with Pinterest
How Pinterest Helps with Local Business Marketing
Pinterest Local Marketing for Businesses by Social180
When Pinterest came on the scene in mid-2011, it grew a huge following of middle aged women who chose to share their interests in creative arts and crafts, home design, fashion, art, cars, travel and other similar interests. Pinterest grew from a few thousand users to 11.7 million users in about six months (see Pinterest for Business Statistics) and currently boasts 2.2 million active daily users with roughly 80% women and the second highest amount of average time on site behind only Facebook. Needless to say, Pinterest is likely the newest and most popular social media platform growing in following. So what does all of this mean to local marketing?
Local business leaders are beginning to realize the significance Pinterest has in local marketing particularly with middle aged women who are most likely homeowners. In fact, many custom home builders, home remodeling companies and interior designers are using Pinterest more and more to share their work with friends, family and customers who then share with their friend and family growing a following and an interest in their work.
One of the greatest things about Pinterest is its ability to share high-quality photography and link that back to your website helping build more web traffic to your website. For instance, if you are a custom home builder in Southlake and wanted to share something on your website with a photo gallery, Pinterest is a great way for people to go on your website and share your pictures with friends and family. When this happens, you now have a link built within a social community that can be shared by many.
So what does this mean? One of the biggest challenges local businesses face in marketing online is understanding how to get people to their website. Offering valuable content with pictures, blogs and videos could allow local businesses the ability of growing your online presence quickly.
One of the recommendations we often give our clients to share pictures is to create a photo gallery on your website. When this happens and people go to your website and Pin your images, this allows friends, family and other followers to have a Pin button on their browser they can click allowing them to Pin pictures which then gets published to their Pin Board where their friends, family and others to see and share as well.
Recognizing the opportunity with local marketing, in October of 2012, Pinterest began offering company pages. We expect much more to come in this area, but in the meantime, to learn more about local marketing, visit us on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn or call us at 469-420-0180.

I spent the last week as TA for a great class taught by the very talented Winona Barton-Ballentine (check her work out!) called In Design For Photographers at ICP. I worked on a little booklet there which I am somewhat pleased with (I have more to do, but it is heading where I want to go.)
I had hoped to put it onto QH so you could see it. In that cause, I have been attempting to figure out how to embed a PDF into a post so you don't have to click on a link to see it. I have not yet been able to make that work. I know it is possible in WP.org but I am not sure it is possible in WP.com. So, the indulgence I am begging is twofold.
1: If you are a WP maven can you guide me through how to do this?
2: Will you please click on the link and take a look? (FYI: One page may be NSFW depending on your work environment)

Thank you.

Here at Cotic, we have five key attributes that define our bikes. They must be:
Our proprietary droplink suspension system, a compact linkage driven design, gives all these attributes to our full suspension bikes.
droplink delivers a direct, interactive ride feel, along with the immediately recognisable, slim, clean, uncluttered Cotic look.
At the heart of the system is a custom designed and heat treated steel seat tube. This, combined with large pivot points, keeps the frame solid front to rear and provides an ultra-stiff platform from which to base the suspension.
Our range is split into Flare and Rocket model lines, with regular and MAX versions of each.
Regular versions use 27.5 wheels while MAX versions are designed for use with either 29 or 27.5 Plus wheels.
The Flare is our mid-travel trail bike. Like a good multi-tool, it has all the bases covered and you can take it anywhere. Lighter weight, direct, connected feel and responsive geometry. Zips up hills, and it's right with you when you're cut and pasting lines between the rocks and trees.
Choose light and lively 27.5 wheels with 130mm travel, or MAX your ride with 120mm travel and fast rolling, confidence inspiring 29 or 275Plus wheels.
If you know our hardtails, think Soul and Solaris. Fast, agile, interactive, fun.
The Rocket is our longer travel, enduro/all mountain bike... a fast ride. Race and ride proven across two generations and 4 years, Reigning PMBA National Champion, it has rugged strength and stiffness, with that lively feel that brings some 'pop' to even the toughest trails. Progressive, long, slack geometry, for a rowdy and rad ride.
Think Peak District, Alps, Enduro racing, the odd uplift. Think fast, fun and thrashable.
Choose 27.5 wheels and 150mm travel for maximum agility and response, or MAX your ride with 140mm travel and fast-as-you-dare 29 or grip monster 275Plus wheels.

Since Macedonia closed its borders with Greece last Sunday, and following the intensification of European border control policies, hundreds of refugees have found themselves pushed back to the Greek border and sent back to Athens.
This is the second "Refugees Journeys" blog entry. By Romain Berthier.
Camps are overpopulated and many families spend the night sleeping on the floor, in tents, when they were lucky enough to be allowed into a camp. Many of them are obliged to spend several nights on the streets around the Victoria and Omonia squares in Athens.
Since Tuesday, Libraries Without Borders has set up the Ideas Box in the camp of Eleonas in Athens. This camp has a capacity of 680 people, although it is already hosting more than 900 people. Dozens of people are continually arriving at the entrance of the camp where the staff, overtaken by the situation, is trying to find solutions. Here, like anywhere else, people in situations of vulnerability and families have priority. Migration also concerns elderly people and their families. They arrive here looking for some rest before, hopefully, going back on the road, sometimes in a wheelchair. For Afghan families, the journey seems to be stopped by an impassable border. Macedonia, under pressure from the European Union, is refusing transit to people from Afghanistan.
The space where we have set up the Ideas Box has allowed children of all origins to come draw and play. However, these children are more asking for tablets than for coloured pencils! Surprisingly today, pencils and felt pens are being used by the adults who are drawing their village in Pakistan, a way to create a link and break down borders.
Ali-Abbas is 8 and is also from Pakistan. For more than a month, he has been with his family in the camp of Eleonas. Boredom has become his daily activity. When we opened the Ideas Box for the first time, a curious Ali-Abbas stayed the whole afternoon playing with games and tablets.
Watching him play with his brother reminds us how important it is in those times of boredom and impatience, to offer activities giving them time to escape their reality for a few hours. This is why, as of tomorrow, we are mobilising our teams of volunteers to organise new activities using the Ideas Box for the children of Eleonas.

You've heard your friends talk about it. You've seen the news reports. You've read the social media posts. And then one day, you wake up and you're in the middle of it.
The Sandwich Generation.
That's the term for people who feel the crunch of caring for an aging parent, financially supporting their own children, and trying to plan for retirement—all at the same time. Nearly half (47%) of adults in their 40s and 50s find themselves in this stressed-out demographic. If you're not there yet, chances are you will be someday.
So, what do you do when you're faced with caring for parents, preparing for kids' college, and saving for retirement? You do what you can with what you have.
Saving for Retirement
If you've ever flown on a plane, you've heard the flight attendant talk about what to do if the cabin loses pressure. Oxygen masks will fall from the ceiling and you're supposed to put your own mask on before you put the mask on any children. That's because you can't help anybody else if you pass out from lack of oxygen! The same applies to saving for retirement. You need to invest for retirement first. If you don't, a time may come when you both need help and neither of you has the financial resources!
You need to invest 15% of your pretax income into your retirement plan, like a 401(k) or a Roth IRA. Continue to do this even when you feel the urge to use that money somewhere else. Otherwise, you'll be in financial trouble later, and your kids will face the same dilemma—trying to take care of their parents, their kids, and their own retirement.
Caring for Aging Parents
Honestly, caring for your parents as they age can be tricky. They want to remain independent and self-sufficient, and you want to honor that as much as possible. You still need to talk with them about their money situation and their medical needs. Together, you need to map out a financial plan for their care as they get older.
Your parents may need to downsize their home or even rent. They may need to move into an assisted living facility. They may need to live with your sibling or you. Eventually, they may need to stay in a nursing home. None of these options are signs that you don't love your parents. You are giving them the best care possible in the situation.
If your parents need help, talk to your family and spouse first. Be in total agreement on what you can afford to provide. Set your boundaries and let siblings and other family members know how you can contribute. You can only do what you can do, so don't get guilted into making bad choices.
Preparing for Kids' College
Let's face it. There's no guarantee your kids will go to college and graduate. There's a 100% chance you will retire someday—and it may come before you'd planned. That's why you should always put money away for retirement first.
Your kids have options when it comes to paying for college. They can work and save for it early. They can work while going to school. They can go to community college. And they can apply for grants and scholarships.
On top of the scholarships list should be Dave Ramsey's $55,000 Financial Literacy Challenge, sponsored by Zander Insurance Group! From April 7–25, high school seniors can enter for a chance to win one of three college scholarships, including one worth $40,000! Underclassmen can enter for a chance to win one of three Chromebook 2 laptops. Make sure your student enters at daveramsey.com/challenge.
In the Driver's Seat
Ignoring your situation won't make it go away. Instead, own the situation and look at your options. Then, as my grandmother often said, be prayerful and careful as you move forward. And remember, you are in charge of your own financial future.

Unemployment drops to record low 8 per cent
DIRECTOR General of the Statistical Institute of Jamaica (STATIN) Carol Coy announced Tuesday that in January 2019 Jamaica achieved a new record-low unemployment rate of eight per cent.
"After record-low unemployment rates of 8.4 per cent in July and 8.7 per cent in October 2018, the unemployment in January 2019 declined to a new low of eight per cent. This was a reduction of 1.6 percentage points relative to 9.6 per cent in January 2018," Coy said.
She was addressing STATIN's press conference for the release of the March 2019 Consumer Price Index and January 2019 Labour Force Survey, at the agency's offices on Cecelio Avenue in St Andrew.
"When disaggregated by sex, the male unemployment rate declined from 7.4 per cent to 6.1 per cent, while female unemployment rate fell from 12.2 per cent to 10.3 per cent. Among the youth, the unemployment rate was 21.8 per cent. For male youth, the unemployment rate was 17.9 per cent and for female youth, it was 26.5 per cent. These showed declines when compared to January 2018," Coy said.
She noted that the employed labour force for January 2019 was 1,232,700, which was 28,600 (2.4 per cent) more than in January 2018; the increase in employment for females was more than twice that of males and the number of employed males increased by 9,500 to 673,500 and employed females by 19,100 to 559,200.
"The occupations with the largest increases were clerks, professionals, senior officials and technicians and elementary occupations. The increased employment in the occupation group 'clerks' was mainly females, aged 20 to 24 years and 25 to 34 years. This group includes occupations such as customer service clerks working as hotel receptionists, survey and market research interviewers, telephone and switchboard operators, contact centre information clerks, bank tellers and travel consultants," Coy explained.
The group "professionals, senior officials and technicians" is a combination of three occupational groups and includes physical and engineering science technicians; mining, manufacturing and construction supervisors; process control technicians; medical and pharmaceutical technicians; and nurses and midwives.
The group "elementary occupations" includes car washers, street vendors and housekeepers in hotels.

Me, Myself and horror movies - the deadly fiasco...
I love seeing quality horror movies, movies like the ring, 1408, the silence of the lambs, saw part 1 (the other parts lacked the good screenplay and descended into mere blood and gore). But I have one problem – I cannot, I repeat I cannot watch these movies alone. I need company to hold hands and get scared with. To shrug at each other and laugh it off once the movies is over.
Usually when I see movies or do something that I am interested in, my external sensory perception abandons me and I get sucked into the vortex of what I am doing. And in the case of movies, I get so into them, that I can get jolted for simple surprises.
Like in Jurassic park movie series, of course I know that some creepy looking reptile is going to jump on the guys from any side now, especially when they put that really creepy music and it's going to chase them with the protagonists escaping within hair's breath of a distance. Absolutely predictable. Really... absolutely predictable. Nothing new. But I can't help it anyway, my mind goes haywire calculating the possibilities of the reptile emerging from every nook and corner of the screen that when the animal finally arrives, I literally jump out of my seat sweating like anything.
And this anxiety of mine easily creeps up to those around me and people watching horror movies with me usually have their worst times and best scares. Paradoxical but also memorable are those moments. Man I still remembered the way I and Ram (a friend of mine) freaked out seeing the movie sixth sense (esp the girl ghost with the noodles like stuff flowing out of her mouth), the movie "saw – part 1" when I almost went through a death and rebirth phase when that guy in that weird white mask comes to kidnap people (By the way, both are absolutely good horror movies).
I can really freak the shit out of myself and out of the people who are watching horror movies with me.
-------And now I have had this 1408 horror movie with me for a long time (for almost a year)and I never saw it for I did not get any company to watch the movie in my home(My sister hates horror genre and father and mother aren't really into English movies). I avoided watching the movie at all costs almost till then but I couldn't quite bring myself to delete the movie. Having heard from my friends that it's one good scare and a meaningful scare at that (a horror movie with a good plot), I was too damn curious to just scrap and delete the movie. So I kept it.
And every time, I came across that movie folder in my PC, it would silently mock me and I would just put my head down and would try to ignore it pretty much like the way we people ignore the politicians kicking up each other's dust and disasters during the pre – election campaigns.
But then on one fateful day, I was too damn bored to care about anything. I was too reckless if I remember exactly. I started to see the movie alone.
I steeled myself. I had to see the movie someday I reasoned. No use, postponing the inevitable. I had to do it. I must confront my fears. Face what has to be faced. I have the guts to do it and I am going to do it. Yeah, in a way I think talked myself into it.
And the movie started. It was completely wicked. With every passing scene, as the tension and the complexity to the plot increased layer by layer, I started to sweat around my neck. My grip on the arm rests on my chair tightened a bit. The idea of the story was so evil that all my insides were slowly quivering scared for the hero. I just wanted to stop the movie, shut my PC down and get outside into the sun but I was held rapt by what was happening on the screen that I could hardly move.
But somehow this time, though I was watching alone; I was determined not to lose my cool. That is... my exterior cool. I am a grown guy and I am going to take it like a man. But the movie was challenging my solidarity.
Each and every twist was so evil and cruel, that each time I consoled myself that the movie couldn't get any possibly worse, it outdid itself. It was like trying to run away from a horrifying ghost, only to find that the more I ran, the more the ghost got closer to me. And the climax was even more twisted when the last knot of the story was unveiled at the funeral of the hero. It was like finding that until now I have been running on a treadmill whose remote has always been in the hands of the ghost that was pursuing me.
The funeral of the hero - Hurrah. I have finished watching the movie. Oh yeah, I have finished watching the movie. The statement was so dense that I had to repeat it to myself to fully understand it. Fully comprehend the meaning of it. I have just finished watching the movie. And that too alone. I did not need company to watch the horror movie and nor will I anymore. Oh…. Yeah. I am the man.
I relaxed. Took a deep breath. Loosened my grip on the arm holds. I was having those thoughts of proud self appreciation and bravery, which guys usually display on completing some task of heavy challenge or mortal risk.
And then it happened.
How can I forget it? How could I have let my guard down? The ghost always comes back for one last scare. My quick euphoria on my completing the movie without getting jolted must have gotten to my head.
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.
The last and the final scare got to me. I was severely jarred and visibly shaken. I was left speechless.
I think I am going to need company when watching my next horror movie.
Author's note:
Guys, I just returned from Coimbatore.
A few highlights of my travel, if you ask me - it would be - 2 haiku s, 1 poem(I always write while traveling - will post them later), drank a lovely glass of mulam palzham* juice (*Tamil for musk melon, in Hindi - kharbuja); the drink was so lovely, I am salivating just thinking about it, and I realized I am slowly getting addicted to blogging. :D
Cheers then. Until later.

@ Bikramjit ---
hmhm... have you tried this website- Rottentomatoes.com- Its a movie review web site and its quite good. I always check the score in it before trying the movie.(It saves me wasting time and money on BS movies). If the score is more than 75% in Rottentomatoes, then trust me you can try the movie.
As for recent good horror movies, have you tried Ink and Cabin in the woods. Though they are a variation of the original horror genre, I think they are good.
Do, give them a try. Cheers.

Welcome to my blog and thanks for your comments.
And yes, I have had my due of sleepless nights but they were not movies that really caused them but Stephen King and his novels.
Have you tried them? They are quite good. esp My favorite is the one about the Salem's lot. Good scary shit. :)

The Alfred State baseball team opened up their spring break trip on a Saturday at Southern Virginia. The Knights took both ends of the doubleheader 7-0 and 11-7.
In the opener Riley Daniels threw a seven-inning no-hitter. He walked two and struck out six in the contest. Bridger Taylor led the Knights eight hit attack, that included six extra base hits, with a 3 for 3, 2 RBI day. Ryan Morin was 2 for 2 with 3 RBI. Both Taylor and Morin connected on homers.
The Knights started off fast in the nightcap as they jumped out to a 8-0 lead (six in the 1st and a two in the 2nd) after two innings. The Pioneers battled back in the middle innings. Danny Doran (Irondequoit) and Colin Johnson (Alfred Almond) collected RBI singles in the 3rd, Tim Holler (Brewster) hit a 2-RBI triple and Mike Gibson (Schnectady) followed a RBI ground out in the 4th to make it 8-5.
The Pioneers left a pair of runners on base in the 4th, 5th, and 6th innings but could not get any closer. Southern Virginia was able to three insurance runs in the 6th to push out their lead. In the 9th, Brody Burdett (Scottsdale, AZ) connected on a two-run homer to left center to make it 11-7 but the blue & gold would not get any closer.
Holler finished 2 for 4 with 2 RBI while Connor Pingitore (Broadalbin Perth) was 2 for 2. AJ Gartland (Irondequoit) kept the Pioneers in the game with 4.1 innings of relief. He allowed just the three runs in the 6th inning. He walked one and struck out five.
Taylor continued his big day with a 2 for 3, 3 RBI game while Canon Anderson was 3 for 4 with 4 RBI. The Knights collected 13 hits including three home runs.
The Pioneers are back in action on Monday when they begin play at the Gene Cusic Classic with a 3 p.m. contest vs. Lakeland University.

My daughter is just over 2 years old now. She is picture perfect, as doll-baby as a little girl can look with big brown eyes, a tiny chin and mouth, and the Japanese cartoon girl look that her mother has given her. She is very talkative at this age, and beginning to understand counting, spatial relationships, colors, the alphabet, you name it. Today, she sneezed and in the most adorable little high-pitched mimicking of adult language, she said "bess-yoo".
I can not help but laugh, she has done this a few times now. I of course realize that she does not know the meaning of this, but it is a great example of how our society promotes this behavior and begins the programming early on. You see, she no doubt got this from our daycare provider.
We have only been with this woman for about 4 months, but in this time our daughter has made leaps and bounds in language skills and word meanings. Her knowing that sneezing requires a "bless you" is new, she doesn't get it from her family. The provider is pretty good, and a necessary evil for my wife and I to live in our beautiful home and enjoy a higher quality of life. So yeah, we're greedy, and my wife is not a "housewife" at heart... she wants to work to a large extent.
So we have daycare, and we are at risk of Christian indoctrination of our daughter. I am not afraid. I chose to allow my son to make his own decisions, trying my best not to let my beliefs be obvious. I allowed him to challenge religions (why do people kill each other over religious beliefs? which leads to "who's right?). I refused to tell him what I believe outright, but I will say that you should consider all the options and take away the good concepts from all of them (although a disproportionate amount of the good comes from eastern philosophy religions, not the partisan sectarian contradictions of sky-god religions). My son told me almost voluntarily a while back that he doesn't believe "any of it". My twelve year old does not think he is going to heaven when he dies, and he is OK with that... he does believe in ghosts still. That is much more believable than gods, devils, arcs, prophecies in his eyes. I don't take that away from him, some of the most fun I had as a kid involved what I thought to be supernatural occurrences.
Hell, he is still young, and may embrace Jesus or Muhammad when he is 14, then worship the devil when he is 18 (why not? the devil is way less evil than sadistic bastard Yahweh, and maybe he can turn it into a sweet death metal career). Meanwhile, I will giggle and wait when I hear my daughter say "bess yoo" in her adorable little perfect girlish voice.
Children and work are my immortality. Parents are gods in the eyes of children, there is no more real god than that.

"IT'S official," Alfred A. Knopf Sr. tweeted last week. "We're now #PenguinRandomHouse."
Mr. Knopf — or rather his ghostly avatar, the actual publisher having sold his namesake firm to Random House in 1960, died in 1984 and rolled over many times since — was celebrating the largest book-publishing merger in history.
The merger, announced last October and completed on July 1 after regulatory approval, shrinks the Big Six, which publish about two-thirds of books in the United States, down to the Big Five. HarperCollins has reportedly been flirting with Simon & Schuster, which would take it down to four. (The others are Hachette and Macmillan.)
The creation of Penguin Random House ("the world's first truly global trade book publishing company") is partly a response to unprecedented pressures on these "legacy" publishers — especially from Amazon, which came out on the winning end of an antitrust lawsuit over the setting of e-book prices. It is also a way to gain leverage and capital in an industry that has been turned upside down. This endgame may be inevitable, but its consequences can't be ignored.
Consolidation carries costs you won't find on a price sticker. Dozens of formerly independent firms have been folded into this conglomerate: not just Anchor, Doubleday, Dutton, Knopf, Pantheon, G. P. Putnam's Sons and Viking, which still wield significant resources, but also storied names like Jonathan Cape, Fawcett, Grosset & Dunlap, and Jeremy P. Tarcher. Many of these have been reduced to mere imprints, brands stamped on a book's title page, though every good imprint bears the faint mark of a bygone firm with its own mission and sensibility.
Decades of consolidation have cost writers and consumers alike. There is, for one, the persistent gripe of writers and agents: companies either forbid (as at Penguin) or restrict (at Random House) their constituent imprints from bidding against one another for a manuscript. That means not only lower advances, but also fewer options for writers to get the kind of painstaking attention — from editors, marketers and publicists — that it takes to turn their manuscripts into something valuable.
Among the imprints that survive, the tendency is to homogenize and focus on a few general fields like ambitious nonfiction, accessible literary fiction or thrillers. "Legacy" publishing does best in the first category: it commands the advances needed for research, the editing talent to shape the writing and the marketing muscle to distribute those doorstop biographies on Father's Day.
In the more commercial genres — romance, horror, "Fifty Shades" — writers are beginning to find success in self-publishing. That's a bit of a misnomer, because often it involves an agent who packages a book with any number of freelance editors and marketers, many of them refugees from the ever-shrinking houses. (Amazon's publishing platform, which runs on more of a packaging model, has made inroads into these genres.)
As for literary fiction, more and more of the interesting and strange variety — the labors of love on which famous editors like Robert Giroux, Maxwell Perkins and Barney Rosset once placed their bets — may migrate to smaller presses. Graywolf, Milkweed and McSweeney's (none of them in New York) may not have the resources of their spiritual predecessors, but they have what new owners often lack: personality, mission and focus.
So many books are published — almost certainly, more than ever — that predicting a blanket decline in quality would be ridiculous. But whether literary culture is best served by the ceaseless centralization of publishing is a question worth asking.
The Big Five have been so busy reducing old companies to brands that they've neglected the notion of what a brand should mean. Can any reader tell a Pantheon from a Riverhead novel? The logo doesn't do the trick. The value of a publishing house — and now an imprint — has been its function as that dreaded straw man of the self-publishing gurus: a gatekeeper. In the hoary Model T days, gatekeepers weren't a cabal but a cacophony, competing tooth and nail.
Maybe it's time for publishers to revive the value of their brands by making them more distinctive and connecting them more closely to consumers. They can start by checking out the Web site of the codgers at the prestigious Farrar, Straus & Giroux, independent until it was bought in 1994 by Holtzbrinck (which later bought Macmillan and grouped its American holdings under that name). Its e-newsletter features author interviews, long editors' notes and subscriber giveaways. One of its developers, Ryan Chapman (now at Atavist, a multimedia storytelling site), told me his model was independent record labels.
We could use more gatekeepers — the kind that trumpet their history and quality unapologetically. "A new imprint on a book gathers character through the years," declared the first sentence of the first catalog printed by Farrar, Straus in 1946. But an old imprint, once merged, tends to lose it. Even Penguin and Random House aren't immune. Their temporary new logo — a giant penguin looking away from a house — is an awkward amalgam, a glyphic non sequitur. It's a necessary visual compromise, a show of mutual respect for two distinctive histories. But maybe Random Penguin, as a few wags have suggested, would have been a more apt name.

J. Bradley Oatney, O.D.
Dr. Oatney knew he wanted to become an optometrist after his own experience with being a patient. "I was working as a construction worker with no goggles on and got a piece of metal stuck in my eye. After staying up all night in agony, I finally visited an eye doctor, who removed the metal. I decided to go into the study of optometry after that." Dr. Oatney graduated from The Ohio State University College of Optometry in 1987, where he was awarded membership into the Beta Sigma Kappa International Optometric Honor Society. Dr. Oatney has been in private practice in Columbus Ohio for over 30 years and has extensive clinical experience and enjoys treating a wide variety of eye care needs.
Dr. Oatney has served as the eye care consultant for the inmates at the Ohio Department of Corrections facilities for 13 years providing full scope medical optometry services. He has performed more than 5,000 bedside eye examinations for patients in local nursing homes, long-term care facilities for non-ambulatory disabled children and adults, and at an outpatient neuropsychiatric hospital. He also had the exceptional opportunity for 2 years to work side by side with a retinal surgeon.
Dr. Oatney has the privilege of participating in medical missions trips each year to Ecuador and Africa. "It is a real joy to be able to provide hope and eye care for people in unserved areas around the world." Locally, Dr. Oatney started the Xenos Free Eye Clinic located at 1934 N 4th Street, 43201 for anyone who is uninsured and in need of eye care. Walk in appointments are available at 6pm on the first and third Mondays of each month. Dr. Brad is fluent in Spanish and comfortable treating Spanish-only speakers. He occasionally makes house calls for patients who are unable to come into the office.
Dr. Oatney has been a member of the Lions Club International since 1990 and received the "Outstanding Service Award" from the Sight Program of the International Association of Lions clubs for providing free eye care for those in need.
Dr. Oatney has served on multiple medical advisory boards and lectures frequently around the country on new innovation and technology in the world of contact lenses. He also writes for industry publications.
Outside the office, Dr. Oatney enjoys traveling with his family and is active in his community, particularly his church, Xenos Christian Fellowship, as a deacon and former school board member." He also enjoys cooking and all types of fitness and had a lot of fun being a wine judge for years at The Food and Wine Affair.
"After 30 years, I still really enjoy taking care of patients and I am committed to providing you with an eye care experience that is second to none! I'll see you at your next visit!"

Resources for the Floral and Garden Industry
We are one of the leading industry specialists in Floral and Garden Container, Basketry, and Floral accessories, and we offer a full range of services, including product development and design work. We provide low-cost solutions at every level, helping you avoid costly fixed overhead and time-consuming travel to Asia. We also offer guided factory tours for clients desiring this service. Learn how our contacts will save you money.
Resources for Buyers
Buyers are being bombarded with more and more products, often the same products from different suppliers — at dramatically different prices. Buyers have a heavy work load, often being forced to make decisions alone — in areas where they have little expertise. Some buyers have only limited experience but are being saddled with unrelenting pressure to make decisions with their company's money. With our extensive experience we can be the best assistant you can find . . . and also the least expensive. Here's how we can help.
Resources for Manufacturers
Stateside manufacturers are looking for relief, in Asia. They are looking for quality; they must have the best possible price and dependable delivery. But unless you have connections in Asia, where can you turn for help? And if you are not already sourcing there, then your competitors will make it a necessity soon. Here's what to look for.
Resources for Retailers
Historically, retailers have not attempted to find sources in Asia on their own — until they met us, that is. Typically our retailer clients are companies expanding outside their current lines, perhaps for a special promotion or to leverage their current categories — by adding something already being purchased by their ideal customers. Our background in merchandising and marketing adds meaningfully to the reach of our network of sources in Asia. Here's how we can be your guide to the Pacific Rim.
Resources for Inventors, Designers, and Artists
Inventors, Designers, and Artists want to get their ideas off the drawing boards — turn their skill into products. We are positioned to provide a full range of services — product cost analysis, prototype production and delivery, catalog sheets and sales aids, access to marketing channels, etc. We are willing to consider a range or relationships — from consulting to partnerships — to get your product to the market. Here's an example of how we can partner in your success.
