Most of these kids metal storage units come in traditional as well as modern designs. While most of them are fancy and colorful to suit your kid's preference and taste, they are also known for their durability and style, and you would love the neat and tidy look of your kids room when they are not busy playing with their stuff.
However, you should also note that even set up units require no additional labor to put it to use. All you will have to do is to just remove them from the box and use them. Many dealers sell metal storage cabinets so you should know who they are and what their prices to get best deal are. As compared to iron storage cabinets, stainless steel storage cabinets are better but they do cost more for obvious reasons.

Their story took place during the years 1918 and 1934. James Ray Rogers was nine years old when Lois and Bill got married and he died four years before Lois, in 1934, finally witnessed Bill get and stay sober – not through her help, but from the support of a fellow alcoholic and later Dr. Bob Smith. Out of their relationship, AA was born. But I did not intend to tell the Wilson's story, but to tell you of the young Ray Rogers.
My father-in-law used to tell me of a couple of his uncles, George or "Shorty" and Jim, whom he remembered coming into Lenoir City in their fast cars and their fancy clothes and staying at the hotel down town. He said he thought they were bootleggers and that they had eventually moved from Blount County, Tennessee, to the Columbus, Georgia, area as whiskey dealers. He also told me Ray Rogers was killed by Federal "Revenuers" while he was carrying whiskey for his father, George.
The Rogers descendant I told you about in my previous post, Conners & Rogers in Lenoir City Cemetery, has told me that my father-in-law was correct. His grandfather, George "Shorty" Rogers, and great-uncle, James "Jim" Rogers, were the ones Mr. Shubert was talking about. Mr. Rogers sent me pictures of George and James "all dressed up like I imagine they were in Lenoir City so long ago."

James "Jim" Rogers on Right
Brothers and sons of Jesse and Martha M. Graves Rogers
No one knows who was the first of the Tennessee Rogers to go to Columbus, Georgia, but go they did! No one knows why they chose Columbus, but everyone agrees that they had to leave Tennessee - some believe they were "run out" of the state. George had many ties to moonshine before and after leaving Tennessee and in the 1920 Muscogee County, Georgia Census he lists his birthplace as the "United States" - not Tennessee or Georgia or Arkansas - just the United States! Do you think he didn't want anyone to know where he was?
George worked as a cab driver in Columbus and later owned a grocery store, selling and delivering moonshine in the Columbus area. He had many conflicts with the law and others during the Prohibition time. His son, James Ray Rogers, paid the ultimate price while working for George. On July 25, 1930, at the age of twenty-one he was killed by a federal dry agent while delivering a gallon of moonshine in Columbus. It was ruled that the agent's gun went off accidentally and the case was dismissed.

Brother of R. M. Rogers
When Prohibition ended, George and his son, R. M., opened one of the first liquor stores in Georgia, Rogers Liquor Store. They also opened the popular Rogers Supper Club, a restaurant next door at 14th Street and 5th Avenue in Columbus.

It is said that George's brother, Jim Rogers, never married or had children. He slipped one morning and hit the back of his head on the foot-board of his bed. The fall killed him. He is buried in the Rogers family plot in Riverdale Cemetery in Columbus.

On the 15th of February, the young ladies from F.A.C.E participated in a second National Day of Action, organized by the Girls' Action Foundation. Last year, the girls had participated in a lunch-discussion with ex homeless men who had stayed at the Benedict Labre House, and members of the NGO Action Femmes Handicapées Montréal. Then, they had conducted a safety audit walk in a down-town neighbourhood, all of which had inspired the themes covered in their Nomad Box.
This year, the girls undertook a project which had taken ground in their minds quite some time ago. During their initiation to the principles of urbanisme, citizen initiatives and public art to make cities safer and more inclusive for girls, the murale concept stuck with them. In Montreal, we are pretty spoiled in that department: a beautiful murale instantly uplifts any dull / ugly space (just saying it like it is!). This, in turn, increases the number of people using that space, and more people, means usually means more safety.
Ok, so a murale… What does that entail exactly?
This is how they came to identify a space in their school which they had previously avoided due to its seediness. Lucky for us, this space happened to have plenty of walls (!!!), some of them already being repainted in the original pleasant yellow-greenish tinge. The girls organized several planing, conception, and organisation réunions as the Murale Committee, and managed to convince the school administration to grant them a wall. And so they needed a theme.
Ok, so a theme… So many to choose from…
Because this year's National Day of Action theme was the transmission of culture, tradition or experience from generation to generation, we asked the girls what legacy they wished to leave to the next generation of F.A.C.E students. They decided they wanted to paint quotes which had inspired them and call their murale « the fountain of words » (because the wall was right above fountains, it called for some fancy wordplay 🙂
Once they had chosen their quotes, we realized that they were all the words of famous men. So we felt it would be important to broach the subject with the girls. Indeed, modern history teaches us, amongst other things, that the contribution of women to the world we live in have very rarely been recognized. This sad fact makes finding women's quotes a little bit, well, daunting.
Finally, with a bit of help and a lot of Google, the inspiring quotes chosen by the girls were representative of all of society (I believe we do comprise of half of humanity, after all..) From Maya Angelou to Janis Joplin, the girls illustrated the words which made their soul sing.
We will be back at F.A.C.E on February 21st, as the girls will put the finishing touches on their murale. Pictures will soon follow.

Organic Geochemistry, 31 (2-3). pp. 231-235. ISSN 01466380Full text not available from this repository.
Lipid analysis of modern bog vegetation revealed n-alkane distributions for Sphagnum species displaying enhanced abundances of lower chain length homologues (C21–C25). Other plants examined revealed typical higher plant distributions (C29 or C31 maxima). Investigation of a 40 cm peat profile from Bolton Fell Moss, Cumbria, UK showed a varying abundance of the n-C23 homologue down core which appear to be related to vegetation changes, which are presumed to occur as a result of climate variation

The evidence suggests people who want to eat well use nutrient lists to choose healthier options. Interpretative labels help them when they find the labels hard to understand. Nutrition labels also create incentives for food manufacturers to reformulate their products, so helping populations more broadly by increasing the availability of food of higher nutritional value.
Clear standards are also needed on the use of nutrient and health claims. Evidence shows these claims alter the perception people have of these products – making it essential that they do not mislead.
Download the table
*Most other countries follow Guideline CAC/GL 2-1985 from the Codex Alimentarius Commission in requiring nutrition labels only when a nutrition or health claim is made and/or on food with special dietary uses
EU Regulation 1169/2011 on the Provision of Food Information to Consumers, passed in 2011, requires a list of the nutrient content of most pre-packaged food to be provided on the back of the pack from 13 December 2016. This Regulation is also applicable in Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein as members of the European Economic Area. In Switzerland, nutrient content labelling is only mandatory for products bearing nutrient or health claims or sold to the EU (but most manufacturers already label nutrient content on their food products voluntarily).
The Danish Whole Grain logo was launched in January 2009. It was developed by the Danish Whole Grain Partnership, which is comprised of the Danish Food Administration and Health NGOs (the Danish Cancer Society, the Danish Heart Foundation and the Danish Diabetes Association) and commercial partners (millers, bread, rice, pasta producers, retailers, craft bakeries and cereal producers). The Partnership aims to increase the availability of whole grain products and enhance knowledge of the positive effects of whole grain. Products must meet nutritional criteria set by a working group of the Partnership chaired by the Danish Food Administration that includes representatives from all types of partner organisations. In addition, products bearing the Whole Grain logo must also fulfill the Nordic Keyhole's nutrient profile to ensure the logo does not appear on products high in fat, sugar and/or salt. It is mandatory for products bearing the Whole Grain logo to include this statement: "The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration recommends 75g whole grain per day as part of a varied diet" and "This product contains XXg whole grain per 100g". A logo manual covers all aspects of use and promotion of the Whole Grain logo.
Greve, C and Neess, RI. (2014). The Evolution of the Whole Grain Partnership in Denmark.
The Swedish government set nutritional criteria for the use of the Keyhole logo established in Sweden in 1989 and launched as a common Nordic label on 17 June 2009 in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. The Lithuanian Ministry of Health signed the agreement to join the Keyhole programme in 2013 and approved criteria for products to bear the logo in 2014. In Iceland, the programme entered into force in November 2013. The aim of the Keyhole logo is to help consumers choose products that contain less fat, salt and sugar. Use of the logo is voluntary, but products must conform to the nutrition criteria, which are identical among participant countries of the programme. New, stricter requirements came into force on 1 March 2015, with a transition period until 1 September 2016 for products adhering to the old requirements. Under the new requirements, Keyhole products will need to contain less salt, sugar and saturated fat, and more whole grains. For the first time, criteria were introduced for maximum salt content in meat and fish products.
EU Regulation 1169/2011 on the Provision of Food Information to Consumers, passed in 2011, permits EU Member States to develop voluntary guidelines for front of pack nutrition information, to be used in addition to the mandatory nutrition information on the back of pack. Information on energy value, fat, saturated fat, sugar and salt content is permitted. Different styles of presentation (eg % Guideline Daily Allowances or traffic lights) are permitted. This Regulation is also applicable in Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein as members of the European Economic Area and Switzerland based on its bilateral agreements with the EU.
Regulation 1924/2006 establishes EU-wide rules on the use of specified nutrient content and comparative claims (ie levels of fat for a low-fat claim). As of January 2010, only nutrition claims as listed in the Regulation's annex are permitted. In theory, these nutrition claims may only be used on food defined as "healthy" by a nutrient profile. This nutrient profiling restriction was due to be implemented in 2010 but no model has yet been established. Therefore, permitted nutrition claims can be used as long as the conditions for use of the claim as set out in the annex are met. Once nutrient profiles are established, nutrition claims may only be used on food products deemed "healthy", though two notable exceptions will apply: nutrition claims referring to the reduction of fat, saturated fats, trans fats, sugars and salt/sodium will be allowed without reference to a profile for the specific nutrient, provided the claims comply with the conditions of the Regulation; and a nutrition claim may be used even if a single nutrient exceeds the nutrient profile as long as a statement in relation to this nutrient appears on the label in close proximity to, on the same side and with the same prominence, as the claim (the statement must read: 'High [name of nutrient] content'). This Regulation is also applicable in Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein as members of the European Economic Area; Switzerland amended its foodstuff law based on its bilateral agreements with the EU to include permitted EU nutrient claims.
Regulation 1924/2006 (applicable as of July 2007) establishes EU-wide rules on the use of health claims (claims on nutrient function, disease risk reduction and children's health). Companies may only use health claims that are substantiated and authorised by the European Commission and Member States (various regulations authorising health claims to date). The European Food Safety Authority is responsible for verifying the scientific substantiation of claims; it has done so for claims currently in use and continues to do so for claims that are proposed and applied for by companies that want to use health claims in the EU. In theory, health claims may only be used on food defined as "healthy" by a nutrient profile. This nutrient profiling restriction was due to be implemented in 2010 but no model has yet been established. Therefore, permitted health claims can be used as long as the conditions for use of the claim as set out in the respective regulations are met. Once nutrient profiles are established, health claims may only be used on food products deemed "healthy". This Regulation is also applicable in Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein as members of the European Economic Area. Switzerland amended its foodstuff law based on its bilateral agreements with the EU to include permitted EU health claims.
We know from the evidence that making fruit and vegetables available in schools increases consumption. There is also evidence that food standards to restrict availability have the effect of reducing consumption of the restricted food.
For these actions to be effective for all children, they need to be sustained over time and accompanied by complementary behaviour change communication techniques, such as "modelling", school gardens, and communication to all stakeholders involved in the provision and consumption of school food. Worksites and healthcare also present strong potential for improved eating among adults.
The EU School Fruit Scheme, launched in the 2009-2010 school year, merged with the EU School Milk Scheme on 1 August 2017 into one legal framework based on the Regulation on the new School Fruit, Vegetables and Milk Scheme (Regulation EU No 2016/791). The scheme is funded through the EU's common agricultural policy and supports the distribution of fruit, vegetables and milk and milk products to schools across the EU as part of a wider programme of education about European agriculture and the benefits of healthy eating. It provides financing to Member States based on the number of school children and level of development of the country. The implementation of the programmes is at the discretion of national or regional governments, but to receive funding, they must distribute fruit, vegetables and milk products in schools and implement educational measures, such as farm and market visits, educational material distributed to teachers and interactive games on education and nutrition, and regularly monitor and evaluate implementation. Foods containing added sugars, salt, fat, sweeteners or artificial flavor enhances are exempt from the scheme: as an exception, limited quantities of added sugar, salt and fat are allowed if they are approved by the Member States' health/nutrition authorities. The Member States determine the frequency and duration of the distribution of the food.

Empirical estimates show that food prices influence, to a varying degree, how much food people buy. Targeted subsidies have been shown to help overcome affordability barriers to healthy food for people on low incomes. Incentives, like financial rewards or price discounts, have also been shown to encourage people to switch to healthier options.
Emerging evidence from implemented taxes, as well as modelling studies, indicate the potential for effectiveness to reduce consumption. Given food choices are influenced by a whole host of factors, especially in modern, complex food markets, taxes must be designed very carefully to maximise effectiveness.
Please note, $ refers to USD.
In October 2011, Denmark introduced a tax of 16 Danish Kroner (around $2.70) per kg of saturated fat for products exceeding 2.3g saturated fat per 100g fat. Taxed products included meat, animal fat, dairy products, margarine and spreads, edible vegetable oils and fats as well as items containing these products. The tax was abolished as of 1 January 2013.

There is clear evidence that the advertisements children see influence their food preferences and habits. There is also a lot of evidence that children and adolescents around the world are exposed to a whole host of other promotional techniques, whether on a billboard or through a phone or computer.
Emerging evidence shows that restrictions work to reduce children's exposure to marketing, but this depends on the criteria used in the restrictions. Given the role played by parents and caregivers in what children eat, consideration is needed of how they are also influenced by promotional activities.
The Danish Code of Responsible Food Marketing Communication was issued by the Forum of Responsible Food Marketing Communication, a cooperation between Danish industry organisations of the food and beverage, retail and media sectors. The Code is a voluntary, self-regulatory initiative effective since January 2008, applicable to food and beverage marketing to children aged 13 and under via media outlets (TV, radio, internet, SMS, newspapers, comic books). The Code sets guideline limits for salt, sugar and fat content in ten food categories. It is recommended that food products exceeding these limits should not be marketed to children. Food manufacturers themselves determine if their products are suitable for marketing to children. Compliance is checked by the secretariat of the Forum. The Danish government follows the results of the Code, and annual status meetings are held between the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration and the Forum.
We are all influenced by the food that is available and affordable when we grow up, and the habits of the people around us. That's why people in different countries and communities consume differently. We know that when the food supply changes, so does what people eat. This is why we need to improve the quality of the food supply. Evidence from salt reduction indicates that people's tastes can change.
A law introduced in 2003 prohibits the sale of products containing trans fats, a move that effectively bans its use in products destined for sale on the Danish market. The law is enforced by local authorities under the supervision of the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. Persons infringing the law may incur a fine or imprisonment, and companies can be prosecuted according to the Danish Penal Code.

Awareness is one precursor to eating well. The evidence suggests that public campaigns can boost awareness. To influence consumption, they need to be sustained and use multiple channels.
Governments in these countries manage, or are involved in, fruit and vegetable campaigns that promote the consumption of a certain number of fruit and vegetable portions a day, often "5 a day" (eg Argentina, Chile, Germany, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, Tonga) but also "6 a day" (Denmark), "Go for 2&5" (Western Australia), "Fruits & Veggies – More Matters" (United States) or 5–10 (France).

Supplier Discovery
Building a Flexible, Robust Manufacturing Network
The Request For Discovery (RfD) process: A breakthrough technology that significantly improves the Supplier Discovery process.
Supplier Discovery
Over the last decade, computers and the Internet have revolutionized supply chain management. This has resulted in the rise of dynamic supply networks. A great deal of reseach has gone into documenting and modeling successful supply networks as they arise in many manufacturing fields. >>>More
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's) create and manage manufacturing supply networks every day. They select potential suppliers, release requests for qualifications (RFQs) and request for proposals (RFPs), evaluate responses, and grant contracts. As established as this process is, it has systemic inefficiencies. >>>More
Effective suppliers sit at the heart of all successful supply chains. These suppliers need to have the right technology, knowledge, and skills to rapidly and cost-effectively produce products for the OEM's. >>>More
The challenge then is how to effectively and efficiently identify new potential suppliers for manufacturers. Specifically, this supplier discovery matchmaking must:
RfD Ontology
Author Notes
Supplier Discovery Map
Currently, there are over 150 suppliers and manufacturers in the Supplier Discovery database. Current Supplier Discovery Participants.
Sourcing in 5 Minutes
There are many reasons to be looking for new suppliers - making the supply chain more local. This video demonstrates how quite and easy the Supplier Discovery platform make the finding qualified candidates. And, this is accomplished without exposing any intellectual property about your part.
Video Demonstration of Supplier Discovery in 5 Minutes.
Beginning in 2009, NVA250, REA250, and SQI,Inc. came together to pilot the RfD process in Nevada. The Nevada Small Business Development Center and the Northern Nevada SCORE Chapter at the University of Nevada, Reno are critical partners in this process. The Department of Commerce provided initial funding. Several corporate partners are now collaborating in the development of the next stages of our Supplier Discovery process.
RfD University
A core concept of the RfD technology is ability to organize the vast array of manufacturing processes into a hierarchy (taxonomy) that classifies the processes into similar groups. The classification starts from the broadest differences in processes - shaping or nonshaping) - and continues through many levels. >>>More
What is a Request for Discovery?
This RfD process takes place prior to the development of non-disclosure agreements. Most importantly, the RfD process complements and augments existing Request for Proposals (RFP) and Request for Quote (RFQ) processes.
The discovery process is conducted at the manufacturing process level. The suppliers present the process they are capable of performing and associated aspects such as max geometry limits within a database. The OEM defines process needed for a particular part.
The system fxpro review then searches for matches and ranks potential suppliers. (Other requirements such as certification and proximity are also addressed within the process.) Benefits are speed, efficiency, and secrecy. The OEM can find potential new suppliers without having to exchange any design data or even let the suppliers know they are looking. >>>More
The RfD supplier discovery process provides an excellent platform to organize and market regional manufacturing bases. This approach is supported by the most recent Brookings Mountain West and SRI, International report, Unify, Regionalize, and Diversify. A recommended target opportunity for economic development is the organizing and marketing of the manufacturing base in Nevada (page 33).
A Thank You to Local Manufacturing Suppliers
Nearly 150 manufacturing suppliers have lent their time and information to our prototyping the RfD and search process within the eResource Center. As we continue the design process, each will have a profile page that will be available to be matched with OEM projects.
A special thank you goes out to the retired executives of the Northern Nevada SCORE Chapter who continue to provide valuable insights and outreach for REA250.

Christmas reaps havoc on the earth. "Peace on earth, goodwill to men? Stupse!!
As we mad-scramble through shops grabbing the latest gadgets to wrap as gifts; decorations to Yuletide-enhanced our homes or as we rush through supermarkets with carts overloaded with food, do we remember, Peace on earth or goodwill to men?
Hold the 'Peace-on-earth' part in your mind while visualising the increase in garbage that Christmas behaviour brings. Don't counting the garbage that comes from the cleaning up of surroundings that people do at this time of the year. I am speaking about the packaging that engulfs the items we buy; the plastic Christmas trees, the live trees cut down and later burnt and so on.
In other words, I am speaking about the long list of environmentally unfriendly things that we have to dispose of as a result of our Christmas celebrations. Our Christmas behaviour does a lot of damage to the environment; it is a big problem in our small Caribbean countries where we are battling with landfill and other sanitation related challenges. So my advice to the environment is beware, instead of "peace on earth," it is "war on the earth" season.
If you add the "goodwill to men" phrase to the peace on earth, what is the result? Our Christmas behaviour is incongruent to the message of Christmas.
Check out the aggressive behaviour of shoppers, snatching shopping carts and later 'must-have' toys from each other; shoving through shops aisles in a race to reach the cashier, first. Then they burst out of the doors and drop a few dollars penitently in the Salvation Army kettle. Is that for absolution or is it the biblical pieces of silver?
The answer lies in their action on the way home; blaring horns at drivers that tarry a second at the change to a green traffic light and cussing pedestrians, including the elderly and children that walk 'too slowly' on the zebra crossing. In the Caribbean, it is "why the F&@K you can't stand home?" or " why de R&@S H$%$ you din left home dem children? Enough say!!
Is peace on earth a 'no no'… in this world of unceasing war ? We have war zones like the Middle East and here in our Caribbean, there have been so many homicides that a United Nation's official labelled the region as one of the most world's most violent; high level of domestic violence in our homes, too depressing! In history lessons we read about cease fires at Christmas during war with soldiers playing friendly football against each other; that IS history.
I am leaving you to think about Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Man", this Christmas. That it is in the Bible and you are not Christian is insignificant; if you are celebrating Christmas, don't you think you should understand its message? Sorry, you may be celebrating Xmas or following the crowd, but consider giving yourself the think gift.

side-by-side summary
The link below should direct you to a detailed side-by-side summary comparing the major reform bills in the House and Senate. As we all know, the three committees of jurisdiction over health care in the House have all reported a bill. House leaders are expected to bring that legislation to the floor in the fall. In the Senate, one of two committees with jurisdiction have reported legislation (Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions). The other panel, Committee on Finance, has yet to finalize its proposal.
HPfHR News
If you are like me, you are probably shaking your head in disgust at the current level of "discussions" taking place regarding healthcare reform. It's not just the tone and rancor of the conversations or even the incredible amount of misinformation and fear mongering that appalls me; it's the fact that all this energy and political capital is being exerted for what amounts to HEALTH-INSURANCE reform that would probably not really address some of the more important issues in HEALTHCARE reform.
In that regard, I have an OP-ED piece in the Connecticut Post yesterday (http://www.connpost.com/opinion/ci_13151473) that discusses some of this and introduces EMBRACE .
Finally, (and also germane to the above discussion) I noticed a story today on the front page of the Connecticut Post (but only available in the Greenwich Time web site) entitled "Activists taking aim at Himes". I am copying it below for those who are interested in reading it in its entirety. Personally, I know that Jim is a great listener and is very open to suggestions about healthcare reform. After reading this article I feel that we (members of HPfHR and all who are interested in real healthcare reform-and therefore promoting a reasonable discussion about it) need to go out and support Jim (or Congressmen in your district if you are not in Fairfield County) at these town hall meetings.
Football teams aren't the only ones with a playbook.
Audience members at a series of recent town hall meetings hosted by U.S. Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., have developed their own, scripting up a series of offensive plays designed to get the freshman congressman back on his heels on topics such as government spending and his support of a public option for health care reform.
Greenwich Time obtained a copy of the playbook, a political action memo recently disseminated to members of Right Principles, a Fairfield-based political action committee that characterizes itself as "Unapologetically American" on its Web site.
"The objective is to put the rep on the defensive with your questions and follow-up. The rep should be made to feel that a majority, and if not, a significant portion of at least the audience, opposes the socialist agenda of Washington," the memo said.
The four-page memo instructs readers on everything from the phrasing of questions and need to follow up, to where to stand during the meetings and directions for checking the congressman's voting record.
Bob MacGuffie, the group's co-founder and the memo's author, said he was merely trying to help individual constituents concerned about Himes' positions and is not part of some larger effort to discredit congressional Democrats.
"People are on their own. This is organic. This is grassroots. It's going on all over the country," said MacGuffie, a Fairfield resident who described
himself as a Libertarian.
About 1,000 people are on the group's mailing list, according to MacGuffie, who engaged Himes himself during a May town hall meeting at the Pequot Library in Southport on government spending, which he said has spiraled out of control since Himes arrived in Washington, D.C., in January.
Though he could not recall the specific exchange, which was posted on the video archive Web site YouTube.com, Himes said he has been confronted by constituents on numerous occasions who don't share his views on health care and other topics.
"These folks, they kind of get in your face," Himes said. "Listening to passionate and even angry people is part of my job."
An unequivocal supporter of a public option for health care, Himes said in an Aug. 6 Greenwich Time opinion piece that the proposed government insurance program would provide much-needed competition and help bring down costs nationally, given that 90 percent of Americans live in markets dominated by one or two insurers. No one would be forced to participate, he has said.
Himes was familiar with the group's memo, which he said he read on some political blogs.
"There's clearly sort of a movement nationally to be very aggressive in meetings with congressmen," Himes said. "At points, it's spilled over to something a little ominous."
MacGuffie accused Himes in Tuesday's interview of changing the times of his town hall meetings, as well as their subject matter, and being less than forthright in his answers to questions from audiences.
"You try to get candor, and you just don't get candor," said MacGuffie, who cut the interview off after a few questions.
Himes denied MacGuffie's claim that he is trying to keep critics at bay.
"His notion is absurd," Himes said. "We publicize very clearly time, location and subject of every meeting we have."
Himes said he has gone out of his way to seek input from constituents about key issues such as health care reform.
"I was one of the members of Congress to push hard to ensure that we had an opportunity during the (August) recess to go back and discuss health care reform with our constituents," said Himes, whose congressional Web site has a map showing all of his public events.
After an Aug. 6 public forum hosted by his office in Stamford on the Federal Aviation Administration's controversial airspace redesign in the Northeast, Himes said he carved out an extra hour to talk with constituents about health care reform.
Health care threatened to steal the show again on Monday during a series of debriefings Himes held at local synagogues on his trip last week to Israel and the West Bank. People showed up at the meetings trying to talk about health care, according to Himes' aides.
They will get their chance. Himes' office has scheduled a public forum to discuss health care for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 2. The venue has been changed to Norwalk City Hall from Norwalk Hospital because of concerns about crowd control, those familiar with the event said.
Elizabeth Kerr, Himes' communications director, acknowledged that the rash of confrontations between members of Congress and their constituents over health care reform has scared off some groups from hosting such forums.
"At a number of local venues where we have previously held public events, we have explicitly been told that, given the current climate, they would be uncomfortable hosting a public event on health care," Kerr said.
Public dissent at town hall meetings is hardly a new phenomenon.
In 2005, when President Bush was floating the idea of allowing workers to open up private investment accounts to supplement their Social Security, then-U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Conn., who Himes defeated last November, faced a barrage of criticism from constituents on the proposal at a town hall meeting in Darien.
Among those groups that mobilized its members to attend such events was Democracy for America, the liberal grassroots organization founded by former Vermont Gov. and Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean.
Dean's brother, Jim Dean, a Fairfield resident like MacGuffie, is the current chairman of the Burlington, Vt.-based organization, a strong supporter of the public health care option.
"We alerted people to that. We didn't give them talking points or anything. We didn't have to," Dean said of the town hall meetings on Social Security.
When it comes to health care reform, Dean said many agitators across the nation are spreading myths about how government insurance will lower the quality of medicine.
"This discussion about death panels and the public option is ridiculous," Dean said.
On the second page of MacGuffie's memo, readers are instructed to be bold.
"You need to rock the boat early in the rep's presentation," the memo said. "Watch for an opportunity to yell out and challenge the rep's statements early."
Himes said such overtures can backfire, however.
"People who stand up and act rudely and obnoxious do delegitimize themselves and the cause they're advocating, Himes said.

The Buddhic/Christic Body
This body was not named after the individuals, The Buddha and The Christ, but rather they were named after this level of consciousness that they embodied. Many world teachers and founders of major religions embodied in the world this state of consciousness.
The Buddhic Body facilitates the expansion of consciousness beyond separative individuality. This allows identity to break free of individuality so that identity can include others; such as family, friends, social group, soul group, and eventually humanity as a whole.
The Buddhic Body facilitates intuitive understanding through union with others, knowing by being that which is to be known.
The Buddhic level is THE source of happiness and bliss for the Manasic/Higher Mind, Causal/Soul, Mental/Intellectual, Astral/Emotional, and Physical levels. It is the plane of bliss.
This body eventually transmutes, heals, and resolves all human problems with the power of love, unity, and wisdom.
The Buddhic/Christic body contains the archetype of perfection for the human being. The embodiment of this archetype, the fusion of the personality and the Buddhic/Christic body is the goal of human evolution.
Buddhic consciousness does not begin until very significant progress on the spiritual path is made. This starts as intuition (an ability to know wisdom through love, without thought or psychic abilities) and as compassion for others.
Pure Buddhic consciousness is characterized by an expansion of identity beyond individuality so that you are big enough to identify with a group of individuals or souls. World teachers embody this state in the way that they totally dedicate their individualities to the good of the group of humanity.
Unity is so real and intense on this level that you are in a state continual ecstatic union with others. It is a state of intense love and continual total-being orgasmic ecstasy. If what is thought to be Buddhic or Christ consciousness does not include this experience of intense orgasmic bliss then it is not actual pure Buddhic/Christ consciousness but rather its reflection in the Mental or Astral levels, or a mixture of Buddhic with Mental or Astral levels. Buddhic/Christ consciousness is a state of ecstatic individual self transcendence.
The mark of someone who has truly attained this state of consciousness on a continual basis is that they are never oriented towards their individuality. They will never or rarely speak about their individuality. They are totally selfless in their actions and desire nothing of a personal nature because they reside in the source of fulfillment, in continual intense bliss. Also, their expression is utterly harmless and overflowing with compassion.
The Buddhic vehicle has its own level of five senses. These are: Comprehension (Buddhic hearing of 4 sounds: personal, that of others, that of one's soul group, that of the planetary entity that is one's origin), Healing (Buddhic feeling that facilitates realization of the manner in which to heal and cause wholeness), Divine Vision (Buddhic sight that allows one to see the divine in all), Intuition (Buddhic taste, whereby one's essence is recognized in and under all forms), and Idealism (Buddhic smell, the ability to sense the ideal).
Buddhic consciousness is also characterized by omniscience, all-knowingness. Realization of identification with the Divine begins on this level. Buddhic consciousness incarnates the love aspect of Deity.
It resides in the Buddhic Universe which is filled with golden and white light, profound wisdom, swirling mandalas of groups within groups within groups of light-beings.
When awakened, the Buddhic/Christic body can be perceived as a large conglomerate of spinning vortices pointed outward. The cone shaped structures, in the image above, are vortices of energy. This body is extremely elastic, and when its attention is directed to an object (on its own level or mental, astral, or physical levels), it expands and elongates and travels to the object faster than the speed of light or the speed of thought, then the vortices tunnel into the object facilitating an immediate unification and merging with the object of attention.
A central column of light-energy signifies its current range of consciousness. Rarely are Buddhic bodies seen alone, as depicted above. They are normally dynamically interacting with groups within groups of other Buddhic beings.
It has a total of 6 spatial dimensions.
Pain and suffering awaken the beginnings of compassion for others, the first glimmer of Buddhic/Christic consciousness. When a person takes their evolution in their own hands by the disciplined spiritual practice of meditation then pain and suffering become unnecessary and are replaced by bliss. Buddhic consciousness is awakened primarily through certain types of meditation. Loving service to one's family, friends, humanity, and the world, also helps to awaken this consciousness.

"So you're gonna be a big country star?," Sybil asked.
"I don't want to be a star," Blaze said, "I want to be a legend."
Based on Sybil Rosen's Living in the Woods in a Tree: Remembering Blaze (2008), Ethan Hawke's third directing work, Blaze (2018), captures the life of legendary roots musician Blaze Foley. The movie is braided with three timelines, including Blaze's past, present, and future. The story explores the love affair between Blaze and Sybil Rosen, his last night on Earth, the influence his song had on the fans, and the shock of his death amongst friends.
The author Sybil Rosen and Director Ethan Hawke | Image Via Strand Books
Blaze Foley (1949 – 1989) | Image Via Last.fm
Raised in San Antonio, Texas, Blaze Foley was actually named Michael David Fuller who had the nickname of "Deputy Dog." Inspired by his favorite musician Red Foley, Blaze started to use "Blaze Foley" as his stage name. In 1975, following his passion for music, Blaze moved into a small artist community in Georgia where he met Sybil, a 24-year-old actress, recently graduated from college and returned to her parents' house in Virginia. They fell in love with each other and became inseparable then.
The couple decided to pack up and move into a small wooden shelter named "Udo" where they cherished a blissful time in the forest. In the following years, Blaze started to write his own songs and decided to embark on a music tour. On the road, they hit Atlanta, Chicago, Houston and, finally, Austin, Texas. Yet, with his addiction to alcohol due to career pressure, Blaze and Sybil's relationship went reached a sad end.

Living in the Woods in a Tree: Remembering Blaze is written from Sybil's perspective of how she's been with this guy she's loved for much of her life, with memory, longing, intimacy, and loss. She'd been the muse for Blaze for many years and "If I Could Only Fly" is the farewell song for them. As the lyrics said, "You know, sometimes, I write happy songs / Then some little thing goes wrong / I wish they all could make you smile." Blaze and Sybil were truly happy being together. She once recalled their past old days:
We were both really, really shy, so we kind of circled around each other for a while, but I think what was so powerful for me was once I heard him sing and I saw that incredible depth of feeling and his gift. It seemed that there was a certain inevitability to our getting together.
Sybil Rosen's memoir gave Hawke new insights into the musician and inspired him to reimagine this unheard singer. He drafted this Texas unsung singer and songwriter more like a fiction rather than a documentary. In an interview with FilmJournal, Hawke said:
In Sybil's book Blaze was so much more interesting a person than I thought he was…I didn't want to make another story about drug addiction. Having the story be their love affair, the tree house they lived in, all of a sudden I thought this would be fun to write about.
Scene in the film | Image Via Variety
In a tragic twist, Blaze was shot and killed by Carey January, the son of his friend, in 1989. He left so suddenly that no one could accept the ending of such a legend. Sybil once claimed that, "When I sat down to write, I felt like the only way I could make real peace with Blaze's memory was to be as honest as I could about who I was in that relationship. I just feel so incredibly lucky that I got to know him at the time of his life that I did."
Though the past could never come back, the legend can. Hawke's Blaze held its world premiere at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and received a wave of positive feedbacks. The local debut will be in August in Texas and in all other markets in September.

Judge finds Jacobs guilty of violating the noise ordinance but dismissed the charge of disorderly conduct. Catch up on the story if you haven't followed it.
Interestingly, part of the Judge's decision was based on the fact that Jacobs was not ordained as a preacher by any ecclesiastical body. She choose not to allow him to claim the exemption to the noise ordinance which allows for outdoor worship services. The Lehigh Valley News reports that when asked who ordained him to preach, Jacobs answered "By man? Nowhere. I'm ordained by the Word of God."

Salmon with Basil Sauce
Makes: 4 Servings
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- Olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup fresh basil
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Drizzle salmon with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside 10 minutes to absorb flavor.
- Meanwhile, combine basil, 1/2 cup olive oil, and remaining ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, and set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté salmon 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until desired degree of doneness. Place on serving plates. In the warm skillet, heat reserved basil sauce, and pour over salmon.
Perfect Pairing: California lifestyle expert Susie Coelho recommends Meridian Pinot Noir for the Salmon with Basil Sauce. A hint of lemon means the recipe would work equally well with Meridian's Chardonnay. Another option is Meridian Sauvignon Blanc. Its bright, sunny quality matches the acidity of the tomatoes.

I can get it working fairly well with a free sip2sip.info account, but a 2Talk account refuses to connect at all. I've got the video option turned on in the 2Talk settings and the relevant codecs enabled but can't make video calls to or from the service, either to/from a "proper" videoconference system (Tandberg unit) or various Android SIP clients. Again, the sip2sip.info account works just fine though.
I can call to/from regular phone numbers okay, but no dice on SIP numbers.
Am I missing something?

Intel's Tablet Story Begins, Smartphones Coming Soon
Intel , the chipmaker known for its dominance of the PC and server microprocessor markets (and its laggard status in tablets and phones), is set to report its quarterly earnings on Oct. 15. The investment thesis is a multi-year bet on the company's massive (but late) R&D efforts to develop and sell mobile system-on-chip solutions in a bid to drive significant revenue and profit growth. Long-term investors need to eventually see signs that things are going according to plan. Following the earnings report on Oct. 15, tablets based on Intel's next-generation tablet chip will hit the market just a few days later on Oct. 18, beginning the Intel tablet story in earnest.
The tablet story begins on October 18
While Intel has released products intended for both the smartphone and tablet spaces, these products have seen fairly limited traction. However, industry observers will note that, as far as the smartphone space, Intel's market segment share is almost nonexistent, while its tablet market share sits at a much better (but still unacceptable) 4%-5%. This is largely due to the company's near-monopoly of the Windows tablet space since AMD is largely MIA and ARM -based competitors' products can only run the much-less-featured Windows RT rather than full-blown Windows 8.
Interestingly, while Intel's foray into the tablet space may prove to be a negative for ARM from a sentiment standpoint, the real loser here is AMD. ARM's royalty stream from the vast majority of Samsung and Apple tablets is secure, so while share loss is never pretty, it's not likely to be material to the bottom line in the fairly near term. AMD, on the other hand, isn't as lucky. While its products also support full Windows 8 in a tablet form factor, the company's products in this space still aren't quite up to snuff, and it's going up against an Intel that designed its products specifically for low cost-pretty much blocking its traditional strategy of "win on price".
That being said, designs based on Intel's prior generation chips weren't great. A large part of this is due to the fact that the chips offered poor graphics performance (meaning low display resolutions) and middle-of-the-road CPU performance. However, the company's recently launched Atom Z3000 parts offer leadership CPU performance, high-end graphics performance, and extremely low power consumption. This means that when Windows 8.1 tablets start rolling out on Oct. 18, OEMs will be able to offer significantly more attractive designs.
It gets better by the end of the year
While this Fool is optimistic that Windows 8.1 tablet sales should be substantially better this time around, Intel would be remiss to not attack the broader market. The new Z3000 series of processors will also be available in Android tablets, albeit a month or so later. Further, Intel will be using its previous generation Android-only processors (which are the same as the previous generation Windows 8 tablet chips, but with a modern graphics engine) to attack low- to mid-range tablet designs. A look at Dell's recently announced Venue 7 and 8 tablets for $149.99 and $179.99 (powered by the Atom Z2560 and Z2580, respectively) shows that Intel isn't afraid to get down and dirty in the lower price ranges to win market share.
What about smartphones?
While Intel's tablet processor lineup looks good to go for the upcoming holiday season, its smartphone strategy needs more time. The next-generation smartphone-oriented system-on-chip products ship in Q4 2013 for launch in devices during the first quarter of 2014. While Intel's applications processors in the smartphone space have been less-than-competitive, what has held the company back from winning even a single design in the U.S. is a lack of an LTE RF and baseband solution.
The platform that Intel will be shipping in Q4 2013, codenamed Merrifield, will pair a system-on-chip (codenamed Tangier) that sports two Silvermont processor cores and a variant of Imagination Technologies' latest Series 6 GPU with Intel's own XMM 7160 LTE solution. While it is unlikely that Intel's cellular platform will be superior to Qualcomm's LTE offerings as far as features and performance, having an LTE-capable modem paired with a good applications processor means that Intel will be able to fight for - and perhaps even win - smartphones that matter.
Further, Intel has talked up its second-generation LTE modem, known as XMM 7260. This should ship in the first half of 2014 with the platform that follows Merrifield, codenamed Moorefield. If Intel can actually get XMM 7260 out the door in the first half of 2014, then it will be nearer to closing the technological gap with Qualcomm. That being said, it is worth seeing how well the Merrifield platform does before trying to look too far ahead into the future.
Foolish bottom line
Intel's tablet story begins on Oct. 18; its smartphone story will begin during the early part of 2014. While Intel is undoubtedly late to this market, there's plenty of market share to take. It's going to require great products to convince OEMs to switch, but with the latest Z3000 series of chips, it looks like things are finally in place for tablets. All that's left is for Intel to release a truly competitive smartphone platform so investors can stop wondering when the company will get into the race, and instead focus on how much of the market it's getting.

She is incredibly cute and a lot of fun!

Hey, all!
Over the course of Bones 5, there were a few models that I was hoping for. I would say that Reaper totally exceeded my expectations and covered about 90% of my personal hopes. One of the things that wasn't in there was an Azer. For those of you who don't know, an Azer is a creature from the plane of fire, and they resemble Dwarves. They are so hot that their heads are covered in flames, and often this heat causes their weapons to be set aflame as well.
Since I had an extra Dark Dwarf Pounder from my November order, I figured that I'd try my hand at a conversion. I have exactly zero experience with sculpting other than filling gaps or making a rock or two, but I have YouTube, so why not? The first thing that I did was get the model and choose a base to put it on. I went with a simple flagstone base from Secret Weapon.
Next, I shaved off and filed down the little "3 Nail" sigil that these dudes wear. I like that Sigil just fine, but its more representative of Duergar than an Azer, so off it comes. I also clipped away the oval base and filed the feet to be flat.
Next, I washed the model and pinned it to a cork. I also washed the base and drilled a hole for the pin, and then stuck that on a cork as well. Once the model was dry, I mixed up some Green Stuff and followed along with a step-by-step for fire that I found online. Basically, you start with a cone and stick it down. I put it on the Dwarf's head, and then used a thin tool to push down the edges of the cone into the head and shoulders. Then, I used tweezers to twist and pull the top of the cone into a sort of whirlwind. Then, dipping the tweezers in water to keep them from sticking, I took sections of the Green Stuff and pulled outward and twisted. Once I had the flames the way I wanted them, I went back in with the tool and made more indentations in the fire. I did the same thing with the flames on the weapon.
I'm waiting for him to dry and cure right now, and then I'll get on to priming him and painting him up this weekend! Stay tuned!

Fresh off the painting table come the Dwarf Adventurers II from Stonehaven Miniatures. Their first Kickstarter, another set of Dwarfs, was the second Kickstarter I ever backed!
First, a group of the "traditional" Dwarfs, if any of them can be called as such.
One of my favorites of the set, a Dwarf Barber:
Here are the Dwarfs I thought would work better as Duergar.
My Duergar take some inspiration from World of Warcraft's Dark Iron Dwarfs, not just having white hair. Gives them a bit of variety.

This I a quick tabletop paint job (about 2 hours) I did for a fellow player. She plays a cleric with a holy glowing sword and has a number of light spells, so I went with a gold and yellow scheme. Base coated the figure with red liner, which has a nice red-brown color to it, and did a quickie drybrush over that for the armor. I am really pleased by how her face came out. The character believes there is no redemption for evil, and so I've nicknamed her Sister Mary Kill-Them-All.

.....Well I don't know - it's such a pretty little thing.
1969 CB350 - I was intending to do a full on BratStyle Cafe build with this, but it's just sitting there quietly charming me - some of the chassis components sure are quirky.
Anyway had a great day picking it up - Thanks to Greg for running me up and to Jonnie & his Wife for selling me the bike, generally being great and for letting me nose around your awesome farm, take photo's and play with the dogs.
Now anyone got any ideas?
And Home....

Super fun and lightweight handmade colorful beaded flower necklaces. No clasp, it fits over the head. I picked these up in Chiapas but they are usually made by the Huichol Indians of the Pacific coast region, specifically Nayarit. I thought these were especially beautiful with the blue and green (and yellow) color combinations.

EL CENTRO, Calif. — U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, made its annual deployment to Naval Air Facility (NAF) El Centro, to prepare for the upcoming show season, Jan. 2.
"For the last 49 years, NAF El Centro and the Imperial Valley have been the winter training home of the U.S. Navy Blue Angels," said Capt. William S. Doster, commanding officer, NAF El Centro. "Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the new team this year and helping to celebrate their 70th anniversary."
The 10-week winter training concludes in early March after the team completes 120 flights during a rigorous flight schedule. The weather conditions of the Imperial Valley are optimal for the amount of flights the team is required to complete.
"We are eager to begin training for our 70th season of putting on world class demonstrations," said Lt. Ryan Chamberlain, Blue Angels lead solo pilot. "There is no better place than our second home in El Centro."
The team performs its first public flight demonstration of 2016 at NAF El Centro, March 12.
The mission of the Blue Angels is to showcase the pride and professionalism of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps by inspiring a culture of excellence and service to country through flight demonstrations and community outreach. In 2016, the Blue Angels will celebrate their 70th anniversary.

I recently purchased the new Alesis Surge Mesh drum kit and immediately noticed an issue with the hi-hat. The problem is if I press the pedal and hit on the hi-hat I do get the "chick" sound but as I'm releasing the pedal I don't get the sound of the hi-hat opening.. Just to clarify, no matter how quickly I release the pedal after I strike the hi-hat, I can hit it and immediately (almost at same time) let go of the pedal that I still don't get the sound of the hi-hat opening. I do get the open hi-hat sound if I I release the pedal first and then strike it.. also if I tap the pedal (without striking the hi-hat) I do get the closing "chick" sound... If I quickly tap my foot on and off the pedal I only get a "chick" sound, same as if I was tapping the pedal and holding it down. I have already called sweetwater and they don't know how to fix this. I called Alesis directly but they also seemed a little bit lost. Alesis is sending me a replacement pedal but they did not give me any hopes that the new pedal will solve the problem. Has anyone here experienced the same issue, or have a clue what's going on? I know this drum is fairly new in the market and that's probably part of the reason why nobody has a clue what's going on, but if you know anything about this problem I would love to hear your input.
Thank you - Welter
EMPLOYEE0Bill R. (Employee) March 26, 2018 13:48Hi Welter,
Thanks for posting.
If you're unable to hear the sound of the hi-hat opening, it's likely you'll need to make some adjustments to your utility settings; more specifically, your sensitivity, threshold, pad curve and hi-hat splash settings. Follow these steps below. These will also be found on page 8 of the included Quickstart Guide.
1) Hit the pad whose settings you want to adjust, or press its corresponding Pad Select button.
2) Press Utility, then press Page/Select until the desired settings appears in the display. Sensitivity will be indicated by SEN, threshold as THR, velocity curve by CUR, and splash sensitivity by S-S.
3) Use the < and > buttons to adjust the value.
Sensitivity will control how responsive a pad is when you hit it. The higher the value, the less forcefully you'll need to play to generate a loud hit. Pad threshold controls how forcefully you have to hit the pad to generate a sound. The higher the value, the harder you have to hit it. Pad velocity curve controls the pad's dynamic response relative to the force (velocity) of your hit. The curves will be shown in the appendix. Hi-hat splash sensitivity controls how responsive to the hi-hat "splash" effect is when you hit the pedal.
To save the settings, press Save.
Let me know how this goes.
Welter were you able to adjust the hi hat to get it to work correctly; i have the exact same issue. i tried adjusting the pad settings but it did not make a difference. Did the new pedal resolve your issue. thanks Brooke
Unfortunately not. I've learned that this is the nature of electronic hi-hat. Its not a defect. I've gone to guitar center and tried on many diferent elect drums, even the most expensive ones and they all have the same issue. Maybe this explains why we always see drummers using hi-hats from an acoustic set on a electronic kit.
Thanks for the info Welter; i noticed if i tap the pedal lightly that it will occasionally work. I was wondering if a rubber stop of some sort between the pedal and the base of the pedal might prevent from depressing it too far. if i try this and it works i will let you know. thanks again. Brooke
Please do. Thanks!
Did anyone ever get their hi-hats to work? My cymbals were marked ride and crash with choke ( 2 ) but no hi-hat, so I'm wondering if my issue may mainly be an issue with the "type" of cymbal?

MUMBAI: Did you ever think Fawad Khan, Sunny Leone, Aishwarya Rai, Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma would all be part of the same film?
Well, if rumours doing the rounds are to be believed, it just might happen! According to a report in the Times of India, Sunny Leone has been roped in to star as a bride alongside Ranbir Kapoor in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The sultry actress might also be part of a song in which she shakes a leg with Ranbir Kapoor.
The source revealed quite a bit about the movie and said that it will feature Sunny Leone seducing Ranbir Kapoor.
"Sunny will make Helen's seduction of Big B in Don look like child's play. He's dealing with two women – Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anushka Sharma already. Sunny Leone comes in at a crucial juncture in the plot. There's a song and plenty of seduction. This is a side to Ranbir that's never been shown before."
According to other rumours, Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Khan will also play a cameo in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
Regarding Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, this is what Karan Johar said:
"It's a film that dwells deeply on relationships, heartbreaks and how love completes you, defines you and yet leaves you wanting for more."
Fawad Khan will be seen next in a flick with Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt titled Kapoor and Sons. Kapoor and Sons also stars Rishi Kapoor and the brains behind the project are Karan Johar. Fawad will be seen in a gay avatar for the very first time in Kapoor and Sons.
Let's hope the makers of the film become successful in roping in Sunny Leone and Fawad Khan for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. For now, only Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Anushka Sharma and Ranbir Kapoor are part of the confirmed cast of the movie.
