Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika & Hrithik Roshan's Super 30 Won't Be Clashing, Here's Why
The 2019 Republic Day weekend was all set to witness a box office clash between three ambitious films — Kangana Ranaut-starrer Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi, Emraan Hashmi's Cheat India and Hrithik Roshan-starrer Super 30. But now it looks like the Kangana Ranaut and Hrithik Roshan clash isn't likely to happen. Why do we say so?
Well, according to a report in MidDay, since the makers of Super 30 were keen on a solo release, they have pulled ahead the date of the film's release by a week. As a result, Super 30 will now release on January 18.
Trade expert Amod Mehra too agreed that this decision saying, "A three-way clash is not feasible as the films eat into each other's profits. Hrtihik's last release Kaabil (2017) would have done much better had it not clashed with Raees. Also, since Super 30 is a biopic, it will take a while for the film to penetrate the single-screen markets."
That's not all. The Republic Day weekend is likely to get even more crowded if the Thackeray makers decide to release the film on Bal Thackeray's birth anniversary, 23 January.
Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi is a period drama, based on the early life of the warrior queen of Jhansi, Rani Laxmi Bai, who died fighting the British. Super 30 is based on Bihar mathematician Anand Kumar, who mentored students from the weaker sections of society to break into the elite IITs in India. Cheat India, on the other hand, is inspired by the drawbacks of Indian education system.

A sample of Christmas cheer from 110 years ago: The article describes festivities in the mill town adjacent to Proximity Mill, part of Greensboro's Cone Mills. The advertisement that follows shows post-holiday bargains at Greensboro's Harry-Belk Brothers Store (later Belk).
Both are from the Christmas Day, 1901, issue of The Greensboro Patriot and are part of the Patriot digitization project, which should be completely online by the summer of 2012.
Christmas at Proximity
At no place in North Carolina is there more Christmas cheer than at Proximity, Greensboro's suburban mill town. The enjoyment began Friday afternoon, when the Proximity graded school closed tor the holiday vacation Under the direction of the principal, Mis, McMasters, and her three assistants, an enjoyable program had been arranged and was carried out in a most creditable manner. The exercises consisted of songs, recitations, etc., by the school children, who gave evidence of the most careful training.
But the most enjoyable feature of the occasion came after the children had entertained the crowd with their speeches and recitations. When it was anoouiced that Santa Claus had arrived two hundred bright young fnces were turned toward the stage, and when Kris pulled back the curtain and disclosed a beautiful Christmas tree two hundred pairsof eyes sparkled In childish joy.- The tree, lighted by dozens of tiuy candles, was ladened with fruits, candies, toys and other presents. There was a package of fruit and candy and a nice present for each child. And for those childeren who had not missed a day nor been tardy during the school term therewere extra presents, given as rewardsfor faithful attendance and work.
The Christmas tree was made possible by the generosity of Mr. Ceasar Cone, who bought and paid for the gifts. He directed the teachers to prepare as nice a tree as possible and to see that not a single child was neglected. That his thoughtful kindness was appreciated by the little tots and their parents goes without saying.
The older people had their inning Monday afternoon, when a nice fat turkey was left at each of the 250 homesof the Proximity mill operatives. The turkeys also were the gift of the mill management.
The mill closed Monday evening to give the thousand operatives a three days' Christmas vacation. Monday night the Proximity Comedy Club gave a minstrel performance for the benefit of the Proximity band. The entertainment was very creditable and netted the band a nice sum.

Perhaps no invention has influenced the 20th century more than the automobile. In fact, there are presently over one billion cars on the road worldwide. Despite the importance of the automobile today, cars are grossly inefficient when it comes to resources such as energy and human productivity. In our country, traffic jams in major cities alone account for Rs. 1.44 Lakh Crore loss to the economy. There are 370 traffic related deaths in India every day. The societal costs of our wasteful utilization of cars are truly staggering!
Self-driving cars (SDCs) have been pegged as one of the fastest growing car market in the world. These cars are currently undergoing a lot of training in controlled environments. Developed nations have inculcated a culture of following traffic rules. So too are the quality of roads in these countries. With a disciplined road populace, it is conceivably easier to come up with data sets and models needed for SDC deployment. Traffic management in India is a nightmare! Add to that the discipline or the lack thereof, of riders and drivers on the road, the lack of strict enforcement of speed limits, and the rampant lane-jumping, signal-jumping, and helmetless violations.
As robotics researchers and technology enthusiasts, the idea of an autonomous vehicle intrigues us immensely, more specifically, the kind of data sets and learning models necessary to train such a machine in a setting as complex and anarchic as Indian roads. We believe that progress in this direction will solve many fundamental challenges faced by SDCs on Indian roads and around the world.

A share of Virginia's portion of a $1.5 billion national settlement with Abbott Laboratories is headed to local prosecutors.
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli will announce the creation of a $20 million endowment Thursday to benefit the state's 739 prosecutors. Interest on the endowment will fund mandatory training for prosecutors that typically is paid by localities or individual prosecutors.
Cuccinelli will detail the endowment at a Richmond news conference attended by prosecutors.
Virginia received $115 million from the Abbott settlement with state and federal governments. The agreement settled allegations that Abbott promoted the drug Depakote for uses not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Law enforcement agencies across Virginia are sharing $33 million of the settlement to pay for new equipment and training.

But not for the reasons you might think. Bagpipes are a funny instrument. They're one of those instruments that you either love or hate. Now, many (probably most) people seem to love bagpipes. Especially at certain events. Weddings, funerals, parades, you know. The Big Three. But the minority of people who hate bagpipes seem to really really re-hee-heeeeeeally hate them. And that's sad for them. But also for me, as a bagpipe-playing person.
St. Patrick's Day is the one day a year when, since everyone's Irish, everyone loves bagpipes! (Because, you know, all Irish people love bagpipes. Because bagpipes are obviously a totally Irish instrument. Don't even get me started.) So that's one reason that St. Paddy's is a bagpiper's favorite holiday. Once people see you in a kilt with that giant noise-making contraption, you are their favorite person. Doesn't matter that the day before they called the cops because you were practicing at 8 p.m., which they deemed too late for great music. As soon as the morning of 3/17 dawns, you are persona non grata no more!
Which leads me to the next reason that pipers love St. Paddy's, which is that since everyone loves you, they buy you drinks. Lots of drinks. Like, so many drinks, you guys. On no other day can I walk into a pub fresh from playing a few impromptu outdoor tunes and immediately have offers of free green beer. It's magical! (Ok, admittedly, that was probably the reason you expected. Sue me.)
The last reason pipers love St. Patrick's Day doesn't really have anything to do with bagpipes. It's that the coming of St. Patrick's Day means that it's almost spring! Almost time to take the pipes to the park and play outside 3 days a week! You have no idea how loud bagpipes are until you play them inside a one bedroom apartment. So, so loud. So loud that your belongings literally vibrate on the shelves and furniture and mantles. So loud that your upstairs neighbor is afraid, for a second, that the machines have finally risen and that the robopocalypse has arrived! But seriously, it's super loud. Bagpipes are the instrumental avatar of the outdoor voice.
Obviously, I'm totally ready for St. Patrick's Day, but for the non-bagpipers of the world, KU has everything you could possibly need, from the Port-a-Pint (seriously the coolest drinking gadget ever!) to awesome t-shirts, to perfect St. Paddy's Day cards! Our supplies are dwindling fast, so come in today!

OSU has a long tradition of making great effort to give students their own individual diplomas during the commencement ceremony. For this to work, you must do your part. If one person does not follow instructions, everyone in that college who is behind that person will get the wrong diploma.
Please remember there will be little or no opportunity to visit a restroom from the beginning of the lineup process until the ceremony ends.
1. You must report for the procession line up by 9 a.m.
2. Please report to the following locations:
o Undergraduate Candidates please report to your academic college's lineup location (see above diagram for locations).
o Masters and Doctoral Candidates please report to separate lineup locations near the Library Quad Clock Tower and the Valley Library (see above diagram for locations).
3. Signs and maps will be posted throughout the route to help you find the right location. The information tent in the MU Quad can give you directions or answer questions if needed.
4. This is a rain or shine event. If it rains, we will proceed as outlined. Your cap and gown should offer some rain protection.
5. OSU Faculty dressed in regalia serving as Commencement Marshals will begin the line up at 9 a.m. Within each college, honors students will line up first alphabetically, with everyone else lining up alphabetically following them.
6. Marshals will give you a 3-by-5 card containing your name, position number and instructions for the ceremony. Locate the marshal stationed at the sign for your college, under the alphabetical sign that corresponds to your last name.
7. Once you have your 3-by-5 card, line up in numerical order. Please maintain your position so you will receive your own diploma.
8. If you arrive too late to pick up your 3-by-5 card from the marshal, you must line up at the end of your college's line. Late arriving students will receive blank diploma cases during the ceremony. You can pick up your diploma at the Registrar's office or at the Registrar's station to the rear of the stage in Reser Stadium after the ceremony.
9. Line up procedures must be completed by 9:50 a.m.
10. At 9:50 a.m. the Marshals will move the lines to the locations where the procession will start.
11. Soon after 10 a.m., the procession will start on Jefferson Street in front of Kerr Administration Building. The sound of pipes and drums will be your indication of the start.
12. The procession will march down the quad diagonally from northeast to southwest. That means the lines for the colleges must be off the path and on the grass to allow the procession to pass between them.
13. All students should face the colors as they lead the procession through the candidate ranks. Men should remove their mortarboards.
14. The procession will include - in order - the chief marshal, the colors, the president's platform party, faculty, doctoral, master's and professional candidates.
15. When the procession has passed through the quad, the six columns of bachelor's candidates will follow.
16. Pay attention at this point to make sure your column does not take off without you. Always follow the person in front of you.
17. The chief marshal will halt the procession outside Dixon Recreation Center for a few minutes to allow for any slack in the bachelor's lines and to correct any problems. Your column may not have moved very far at this point.
18. Each of the six bachelor's candidate columns will enter Reser Stadium via the new ramp on the southwest corner of the stadium, near Valley Football Center. The ramp is steep, so watch your step. Candidates needing mobility accommodations should complete the accommodations request survey.
19. Columns will line up six abreast behind the stage on the field. Once all students are in the stadium, the columns will proceed to the seating area.

Waterproofing seams in a canvas tent
We've just had a workshop day for Mainly Medieval, going through and seeing what tasks need to be done.
We had noticed at the last event that the old Burgundian tent (about 8 years old now) was starting to leak water in from it's seams. So time to fix that up, books hate rain!
We used a mix of beeswax and distilled pine resin (aka pine turpentine), which meant that the beeswax was easy to work with.
Take a small scoop, rub it into the seam and burnish it into the seams with a piece of leather (or with fingers).
How to Get Rid of Mould from a Canvas Tent
Canvas tents are great and authentic, but they have one key disadvantage over plastic tents. It's not availability, cost, weight or bulk; it's that they are prone to mould.
So, how can you avoid the scourge of tent mould, and what should you do if it does occur?

Bonjour tout le monde! Hello everyone! I'm Matthias! I'm native French from Paris, France and I currently live in the Philippines. I have been a qualified and experienced French Teacher since 2009.
After completing my Master degree of Social Studies and International Development from la Sorbonne University in Paris, France, in 2006, I started working for Educational NGO's based in the Philippines. Then in 2009, I specialized as a French Teacher for different public and private language schools in the Philippines including Montessori School and Alliance Française. My classes were composed of very large audiences: from young kids to professionals. I taught French through various learning levels from A1 to C1. I have also handled online and conversational classes on a regular basis with multicultural groups. I taught 1 to 1 tutorials from A1 to C1 levels. Besides this, I have carried out French workshops for Filipino high school principals under the Department of Education in the Philippines. In addition, I conducted multiple preparations and trainings of applicants for the official DELF and TEF standardized exams. I have been teaching French at different popular Universities in the Philippines from 2012 until now.
Finally, I also got the opportunity to work as an English French interpreter for the French Prime Minister Security Group in 2012.
Freelance French Online Instructor
2016 - present : Taught French online to professionals and students through various learning levels from A1 to C1 on 1 to 1 sessions as well as group classes.
French Instructor, Alliance Francaise de Cebu, Cebu city, Philippines.
2011 - present : Taught French to professionals and students through various learning levels from A1 to C1. Handled online and conversational classes on regular basis with multicultural groups. Had in charge several 1 to 1 tutorials from A1 to C1 levels. Handled French workshops for Filipino high school principals under the Department of Education in the Philippines. Conducted multiple preparations and trainings for the official French language tests including DELF and TEF standardized exams.
French Teacher, University of San Carlos and University of San Jose Recoletos, Cebu city, Philippines.
2013 - present: Taught French in different popular Universities in the Philippines including University of San Jose Recoletos and University of San Carlos where I handled a total of 24 classes composed of 50 students each for a grand total of 1200 students from different courses. Supervised a French Language Exhibit showcasing French songs, dances and delicacies at the University of San Jose Recoletos in 2014.
French Teacher, Montessori School of Pardo, Cebu city, Philippines.
2009 - 2010: Handled different groups composed of a dozen of young children from different nationalities aged between 3 and 11 years old through play activities involving the basics of the French language.
2003 - 2004: Master Degree of International Economics Awarded with Honors, University of Paris 1 La Sorbonne - Panthéon.
2005 - 2006: Master Degree of Social Studies and International Development, University of Paris 1 La Sorbonne - Panthéon.
Alliance Française de Cebu, Cebu city, Philippines
2012: Certification as English-French Interpreter for the security group of the French Prime Minister.
All of these experiences have given me the opportunity to develop lesson plans on a wide range of topics and levels. I love teaching French and I enjoy sharing my experiences, learnings and culture with my students.
My teaching method depends on my student needs, levels, goals and language skills as well as learning styles. I am highly skilled at customizing my teaching methods to the needs of my students with flexibility and effectiveness. With me, my students will be learning French through various practical challenges and conversational activities focused on the grammar, the vocabulary, the pronunciation and the cultural aspects of the language. Indeed I believe the most effective way to study and learn a language is basically to speak it. I like to interact with my students because the more they will practice the language, the closer they will get to their goals. Step by step we will then be able to reach a new level and set new goals.
So let's start making a plan for you!

There are two circumstances under which RabbitMQ will stop reading from client network sockets, in order to avoid being killed by the OS (out-of-memory killer). They are:
In both circumstances the server will temporarily block connections - the server will pause reading from the sockets of connected clients which publish messages. Connection heartbeat monitoring will be disabled too. All network connections will show in rabbitmqctl and the management plugin as either blocking, meaning they have not attempted to publish and can thus continue or blocked, meaning they have published and are now paused. Compatible clients will be notified when they are blocked.
Connections that only consume are not blocked by resource alarms; deliveries to them continue as usual.
Modern client libraries support connection.blocked notification (a protocol extension), so applications can monitor when they are blocked.
When running RabbitMQ in a cluster, the memory and disk alarms are cluster-wide; if one node goes over the limit then all nodes will block connections.
The intent here is to stop producers but let consumers continue unaffected. However, since the protocol permits producers and consumers to operate on the same channel, and on different channels of a single connection, this logic is necessarily imperfect. In practice that does not pose any problems for most applications since the throttling is observable merely as a delay. Nevertheless, other design considerations permitting, it is advisable to only use individual connections for either producing or consuming.
When an alarm is in effect, publishing connections will be blocked by TCP back pressure. In practice this means that publish operations will eventually time out of fail outright. Application developers must be prepared to handle such failures and use publisher confirms to keep track of what messages have been successfully handled and proceessed by RabbitMQ.
When the server is close to using all the file descriptors that the OS has made available to it, it will refuse client connections. See Networking guide to learn more.
When clients attempt to publish faster than the server can accept their messages, they go into transient flow control.
If you have questions about the contents of this guide or any other topic related to RabbitMQ, don't hesitate to ask them on the RabbitMQ mailing list.

Oscar-nominated 'La La Land' sound editors talk about achieving that magical mix
One of La La Land's fourteen Oscar nominations — Ai-Ling Lee and Mildred (Milly) Iatrou Morgan for Best Sound Editing — makes the nominees the first all-female team nominated in the category (Lee is also nominated for Best Sound Mixing, along with Andy Nelson and Steve A. Morrow). As sound supervisors and designers on the project, their job was to lead the teams that brought every sound you hear together.
"It was kind of a surprise," said Morgan after learning of the nomination's historic nature, "but I was very happy to see that. It makes me very hopeful."
Lee said, "we always try to do our best work on every project and we're just really glad and fortunate...it's an honor."
I spoke with Lee and Morgan at length about their work on this modern musical. An emphasis on using production sound — versus pre-recorded mixes — makes the film feel organic and real. The result is a fine balance of imaginary realism.
Below is an edited portion of our conversation. Complete audio is available via my podcast, The White Whale.
How did you two begin working together, and how has your partnership evolved since then?
Morgan: Ai-Ling and I were both working on a film by Cameron Crowe called We Bought a Zoo. I was working at Fox and I was brought onto the show by one of the mixers, Doug Hemphill, who had worked with her and thought she'd be perfect as a sound designer for the film. I was already supposed to be the sound supervisor on it and I was going to supervise with another person, but [that other person] couldn't do it. So as we were working really well together, I asked her if she wanted to supervise it with me and she said yes — so that was the first time we worked together as a sound supervising team. Since then we've done four [including] La-La Land, and now we're also working on Battle of the Sexes, which is about the Billie Jean King versus Bobby Riggs tennis match.
Could you briefly explain the difference between a supervising sound editor and the distinctions that get broken down in the final credits?
Lee: I would think a supervisor would have more of a direct relationship with the filmmakers: going to meet with them to discuss ideas to see how the sound can help with the storytelling and to try to take everyone's ideas, including your own, and work on it to make it come to fruition. Typically in a sound editorial department for features it's composed by a team of sound editors; mainly broken up into dialogue, ADR [dialogue re-recorded for better sound quality], effects, and Foley. So, the sound supervisor would then coordinate with sound editors to try to achieve the vision of the filmmakers — and sometimes the sound supervisor also edits the sounds together or gathers everyone's work together to present it.
How does your collaboration work?
Morgan: Usually when we supervise together I focus on dialogue and ADR — all the spoken words, for the most part — and Ai-Ling deals with sound design, sound effects, backgrounds. Then there's usually a Foley person or a Foley supervisor, but she supervises that Foley supervisor to tell him what the director wants because the first thing we do is meet with the director and picture editor and we have a spotting session and we play the whole movie and take notes and they give us their vision of how it should sound.
So, what were your first thoughts when you saw La La Land?
Lee: You could tell, even early on, with how it's shot, the directions, the choices that [director] Damien [Chazelle] made, and all the beautiful original music that it was going to be a really beautiful, personal movie. It's a very brave choice for Damien.
Do you approach a film like this any differently than, say, Planet of the Apes, or any of the big-budget superhero films you've done? Is the process any different?
Morgan: Well, I think any time we approach a film and start working on a film you have to think okay, what is the style of the film? What is, as you said, the palette? What is the mood of the film? The textures of the film? And we do the sound work according to that.
In the case of La La Land, because [Chazelle] made it very clear that he wanted the sound to be very naturalistic and then had to seamlessly transition into the musical numbers, on my side, because I was doing dialogue and ADR, I tried really hard to use all the production sound that was recorded with the images and not replace a lot of it with ADR and dubbing — because I knew that he didn't want that, he wanted to sound real. Even with the singing there were several places where the singing was done live on set, for the more emotional numbers like her audition number at the end.
I did cover some of that in ADR, but sometimes I would just use a word or a syllable so that I could keep as much of the production as possible. But, on other movies, like Planet of the Apes or an action film, you know they're going to use a lot of ADR and you cover it and you record all the ADR and you try to get it in the movie. But, in this case I held back — I really tried to make all the production [dialogue] work and [with] Andy Nelson we decided we can make this production work, even though it sounds really noisy. We're just going to make it work and maybe sprinkle in a couple of words of ADR. That helped anchor the film and keep it in reality until it took flight and went into a musical fantasy world.
It really did. It didn't feel separated out like some musicals can — you get that feeling of the space in the room not being manufactured.
Lee: They wanted to make sure the music doesn't sound too Broadway-ish, so having a live recording helps ground it too.
Did it change how you worked, rather than if you had everything contained from studio recordings?
Morgan: Certain things. For example, the duet number where they're dancing overlooking Los Angeles, the first dance they have together where she's wearing the yellow dress; that duet goes from production speaking and there of course is background sounds, the noises of Los Angeles.
Ai-Ling put more backgrounds on it and then it transitions into the musical, but I don't know if it's Ryan Gosling's voice or the way it was recorded (possibly), but the quality of his [studio-recorded] voice was very similar to the quality of the production, and so it was this gradual transition. So, on my side I had to make a background fill of the noisy background that was with the dialogue. And we continue that over the transition to the music, and Ai-Ling did the same thing with her sound effects.
Lee: Yeah, basically for that scene I would maintain the background, the city sounds, and insects through their singing and as the song goes they slowly taper down so that the music would take more precedent. So, we established Foley cloth movement, back movement, footsteps, hand grabbing the lamppost, and stuff like that that helps ground them rather than just prerecorded singing voices. The Foley helps make it feel like it's a live recording, that they're really singing there.
How do you pinpoint those moments?
Lee: With a musical you have to be very selective. Even when you edit these Foley, you have to be really careful to make sure they are in rhythm to the music rather than too much in sync sometimes because your eyes can fool you because your brain just connects to the rhythm rather than what you see and sync sometimes. And, of course the pitch and tone of the sound, it should not clash with the music. Otherwise either they just get lost in [the music] or just poke out like a sore thumb.
For the opening number, even though every so often the dancers would be walking around while dancing, we were careful not to play all of the [footsteps] all the time, it's only used to accentuate the music or a particular move that you see. And Damien is very specific about that. He's very meticulous, down to almost an exact science — so even though sometimes, like in the middle of the traffic song, a group of them are dancing on the cars, we did not play that because sometimes those sounds may overpower the music. For those I opt not to play up the stomps at all, but later on in the traffic song when you see the wide shot of all the dancers on top of the cars, for that area I played some of their stomping and dancing on the car roofs.
That's after they introduce the percussion band in the truck, right? Which kind of justifies a shift in the sound.
Lee: Yes, yes. So you know, things like that — or even like the crowd, suddenly you hear them cheering and clapping in rhythm to the music. Little moments like that helps ground it and actually makes it more fun on the track.
Is working with someone who has that sort of sensibility you talked about, where he's really specific on what the sound is going to do, different than someone who maybe doesn't seem to really know how to talk about it?
Morgan: Sure, because sometimes you work with directors who will give you some notes but they're not very specific. And then it's up to you to bring them something, and then once there's something in front of them they can bounce off of what you've shown them or played for them and then they give you notes on that and you build from there. But with Damien...I mean, there was a really nice give-and-take, but he started off every scene and told us what he wanted. Then it would evolve, but we would usually start with that.
Lee: He would tell us what he would like to have, his vision. In the opening sequence, for example, he wants to slowly build up the horns and the car radio, built into this cacophony of sound, real sounds, and then through that the musical number comes in. So he would say "I want to make sure people know it's in a traffic jam. The cars are standing still," so he doesn't want to hear any sounds of cars driving by, just cars idling, not any kind of moving since we were trying to sell through a soundscape to the audience that we are in a traffic jam in Los Angeles without seeing it visually until later on when the camera pans down to the individual cars.
From the very beginning, when you introduced Mia and Sebastian you articulated who they were and who they were going to be through their sounds so she's driving a Prius, very clean and sort of non-disruptive — whereas he's driving an old car that's loud and he's rewinding tape and making all these sort of noises until he honks at her and it's like that archetypes how they're going to come together. Was that the forethought going into it, or was it that just worked for the opening?
Morgan: I'm sure that that's how Damien wrote the characters. It's funny, I never thought of it 'til now, but when you described it I thought, yes, Sebastian's very analog and she's a little more modern and digital even though they're both dreamers and they both love old Hollywood. He loves jazz and she loves old Hollywood but he's a very analog character.
Lee: Thinking about the dinner fight scene, though, and Damien having such a good concept and idea about music and rhythm...you could even tell in his dialogue scenes, such as this dinner scene, that there's rhythm between Sebastian and Mia: how they paced that fight, the dialogue between them, and how Damien liked to use the production almost like production Foley props, like all the cutlery sounds or the drinking in between the lines to help accentuate the rhythm of that scene. It's not like obvious that it's music, but in the way it has this musical rhythm in there too.
Morgan: The thing I love about that scene is I have watched that scene hundreds of times, maybe, and I never ever notice exactly when the music goes away because I get so sucked into the argument every time, but then at a certain point you realize the music has stopped. But for me, I don't hear it when it stops. I realize "oh my gosh, the music stopped." And I think when Ai-Ling brought in the sound of the record, the record hitting those grooves...
Lee: Oh, yeah, the hiss.
Morgan: It doesn't start right away when the music stops. It starts later on.
Lee: Yeah, so you have this tense silence, moment of silence, between the two of them. And then you hear the hiss of the record coming in.
I realize films today have a lot of music in them, but did it feel like this had more music than you're used to working with, and did that complicate it at all, or since it was a musical was it kind of like "nope, this is the world"? Morgan: Yeah, I don't feel like it had more. It's funny because especially when you work on some of these bigger action movies, they have so much music in them and often when we're at the final mix on movies like that, inevitably someone, one of the producers or the director, says what if we took that cue out and we took that cue out. But in La La Land it was different because it was all mapped out ahead of time and maybe because the music was so integral to the story, I didn't feel like there was more music than usual. I felt like the music...
Lee: ...was just such a big part of the story.
Morgan: It was very organic. It's the best. It really is the best-case scenario in terms of doing sound for a film when it's organic like that and it's all of one piece and everything goes together so well.

Hello old friends and new! Today I am taking part in a blog hop. All bloggers as part of the hop have recently taken Bonnie Christine's Creative Live course, "Design Surface Patterns from Scratch."
Today I am sharing sneak peeks of some 2015 calendars that are in the works! I have been using Illustrator for years and have taken several courses – though consider myself mostly self-taught. I learned so many things by taking Bonnie's class and have put some of them to use.
Let me show you:
For this bird calendar I used the blob tool a lot – something I was very unfamiliar with. So easy-breezy! I love it!
For this "blooming" design I took photos of little clippings from my yard and used the live trace function – something I haven't used for photos before. It is my absolute favorit-est tool now!
I am so grateful for this course as it opened my eyes to some new tools which has given my work a little refresher but I also learned several tips and tricks to streamline my processes and ultimately make me work more efficient. Higher efficiency means more productivity! Which means more patterns and artwork!
My calendars will soon be available via my Spoonflower and Etsy shop. Stay tuned!
If you haven't visited yet, please hop over to Casey's blog – Sunlit Life. Tomorrow you can continue the blog hop by visiting Julie Hamilton at: Artistically Afflicted.
Just joining in and want to follow the full hop? -Start here!
Are you an artist or interested in learning more about designing surface pattern designs? You TOO can take Bonnie's class. See more info here.
And finally, if you've been living in a bubble and you're not familiar with Bonnie Christine, you certainly must remedy that! Bonnie's blog Going Home to Roost has so much eye candy – from her beautiful patterns, design ideas she shares, to her adorable baby named 'Bear'.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope I've helped to make your life a little more colorful today!

The phrase 'by sea and forest enchanted', sometimes used to describe the historic port of Lymington, could not be more appropriate. For centuries the town has been associated with the sea and shipping and north of the town lies the medieval landscape of the New Forest. From Lymington we cross Pylewell Park Estate the leave the Solent Way to take a beautiful path through Sowley Brooms, an ancient oak wood. Quiet lanes lead us back to Lymington.
- Walk
- 9.1 miles / 14.7 kms
- 266 feet / 81 metres
- Add to Basket

- 31 Jan 2010
1. From the car park return to St. Thomas Street. Turn right to pass the church on your left and walk down the High Street, a delightful mix of elegant Georgian houses, bow-fronted cottages and little courts and alleyways. Cross the road at the foot of the High Street and continue down cobbled Quay Hill which bears right to the quay and the Ship Inn.
2. Retrace your steps for a few yards to the foot of Quay Hill and follow the Solent Way signs along the lane. Turn left to follow Mill Lane and Waterloo Road past the station. Turn right over the level crossing and cross the Toll Bridge Dam.
3. Turn right and follow the waterside. The metal rails on your right cease and, opposite, two gravel tracks lead left from the road. Turn left, take the right-hand track and turn almost immediately left into the wood following the footpath sign. Walk uphill to the monument raised in memory of Admiral Sir Harry Burrard Neale who retained his crew's loyalty during the Nore mutiny.
4. Turn right down the lane beyond the monument, then take the first gravel track on your left past Halyards. Go through a gate and follow the path beside fields and through woods to a lane. Turn left for a few yards then turn right past Snooks Farm to a lane.
5. Bear right and cross straight over a minor road. Walk down the lane ahead, Shotts Lane, for about 1/4 mile, then turn left along a wide track with fields on the right. Cross a track, keep ahead for a few yards then turn right to continue with a fence on your right. Over a stile the path leads beneath fine chestnut trees and pines before curving left still with the fence on your right.
The mansion beyond the fence is Pylewell House. In 1875 the Pylewell Estate passed to William Ingham Whitaker. His grandson of the same name died a bachelor in 1988 and was succeeded by his nephew, the twentieth Baron Teynham.
Cross a stile and keep ahead through a small iron gate to go over a track. Go through an identical gate to follow a narrow path with a fence on the right. Keep to this narrow path to the left of a broader track along an avenue of pollarded limes past Dod's Pond. This was once the centre of South Baddesley village, destroyed in 1818 to create parkland. Follow the path ahead through a gate and across a stream. Continue beside a meadow and over a wooden footbridge to cross another field and stile to a track leading to a minor road.
6. Keep ahead along the road. Cross a cattle grid to the right of a grassy triangle and follow the footpath sign over a stile into a field. A lovely path leads beside fields then through the trees of Sowley Brooms.
7. When you come to a crosstrack the circular walk leaves the Solent Way and turns left. When the path curves right, cross the stile ahead and bear a little left to cross another stile. Walk over a field and go through a gate to a lane.
8. Bear right, follow the lane up to a road junction and turn left for Norleywood village. Continue for about 3/4 mile keeping straight on past a single track road on the right and shortly after another joining track on the right. When the lane begins to swing right turn left over a footbridge and follow a lane towards South Baddesley. You pass the little Victorian Church of St Mary the Virgin, well worth a visit. Note the enormous pine tree in the grounds!
9. Take the first lane on the right which winds through oak woods and meadows for about 3/4 mile to a lane on the left opposite a brick-walled drive entrance. Turn sharp left along the lane and after about 200 yards you will see a plague on the right in front of a metal barn. This is close to one of the blister hangers of the wartime airfield constructed in this area in 1943 and commemorates the part played by American Thunderbolts during the D-Day landings. A little further down the lane you meet the track on the right which we followed outbound at point 5.
10. Turn right to retrace your steps along the Solent Way past the monument to Lymington Quay. Walk up the High Street to your car.
Until the end of the 18th century Lymington flourished as a port noted for its foreign trade, its salterns and the proceeds of what Daniel Defoe termed 'rogueing and smuggling'. Ships of up to 500 tons could berth by the town's cobbled quayside. These prosperous days came to a sudden end when in 1731 a Merchant Navy captain, William Cross, built his Toll Bridge Dam across the river. But today Lymington once again bustles with life. A commercial fishing fleet operates out of the quay, two large marinas and river moorings attract yachts from around the world and a regular ferry service runs to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.
Trail Location
Lymington can be reached by road via the A337 from Lyndhurst to the north or Christchurch to the West. Approaching from the north or west follow the signs for the town centre and the High Street. Drive down St. Thomas' Street for about 50 yards then turn right for the car park down an entry just past Waitrose. Approaching from the east drive up the High Street, pass the church on your right and turn left following the car park sign. Avoid the crowds on Saturday, market day.
There is a train station in the centre of town and a second on the pier, which connects with the Ferry service to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight. There are bus services to Lyndhurst, Christchurch via New Milton, Beaulieu and Ringwood.

Eh, I had a good idea that Dorfman in Love would be pretty shitty based on nothing else except the title. Who or what is Dorfman? Why do we care that he/she/it is in love? The answer is 1.) It doesn't matter and 2.) We don't care.
So Sara Rue plays Deb Dorfman, and because she never goes by Dorfman, the title is rendered even more useless than originally thought. Deb works for her brother, Daniel (Jonathan Chase), and is in love with her co-worker/brother's best friend, Jay (Johann Urb). Deb and Jay's relationship is very confusing because they seem very close, Jay seems really into her, and even kisses her and at one point says he loves her, but he's also supposed to be this unrequited love figure. Deb says she's been in love with him for 10 years . . . and she's an adult . . . is she just going to not try to get with this guy who likes her and whom she likes? Yep! But luckily, Jay asks Deb to cat sit, which apparently also means moving into his apartment.
I forget how Deb meets Cookie (Haaz Sleiman), which is for real the name of a main male character in this movie, but she does. She also meets two models who give her a makeover and make her look about 1000x worse. In the end, Deb realizes, after 10 years of being close to this person, that Jay is actually an asshole. And even though she chose Jay over Cookie, once she realizes Jay isn't going to work out she (almost literally) runs back to Cookie and everything's fine.
But the worst part about this movie was Daniel, Deb's brother. He has a wife who is kind of annoying and Stepford Wife-y, but is nice and seems to be accepted into Daniel's family without a problem. Then Daniel cheats on her with the two aforementioned models. Daniel then stops talking to his wife and continues to sleep with the models while she desperately looks for him. Daniel pretty much forces his entire family, who seem to genuinely like his wife, to lie to her about what he's doing. In the end he crawls back to his wife, she takes him back, and everything is fine . . . except no one tells the wife that Daniel cheated, multiple times, and with two models. Is that really how this love story is going to let this subplot end? With this nice woman being the only one who doesn't know her husband is a terrible person? I guess so!
Yeah, Dorfman in Love sucks. And its two main characters are Dorfman and Cookie. COME ON.
I loved watching this film!!! To start with, I love that the movie kind of implies that we should know what a Dorfman is? It's nothing special, it's just a sad lady. This movie is the classic story about a woman falling for the wrong guy when the right one is right in front of her. But the whole thing is so impossible to believe because the main lady is completely insane!
This movie is weird and the more movies Elizabeth and I watch I find that bad romantic movies are the most fun to watch. It's so easy to tell when stuff makes no sense at all and the way people write people falling in love is generally pretty funny.
I would watch this again so I would definitely recommend seeing it!

Some further notes on how vintage 2016 is looking around the country, away from dryland West Coast farming. Let me just point out first, though, that it's not just the old bushvines of the Swartland that are suffering – old bushvines everwhere are having a very rough time. Chris Alheit tells me that the vineyards for his famous Radio Lazarus wine, high on the Bottelary Hills in Stellenbosch, are in heartbreaking shape.
More cheerfully, harvest prospects seem pretty positive in the Breede River Valley. The team from the dynamic DuToitskloof Winery in Breedekloof are guardedly optimistic though, after a hot and dry spring and summer, "the water situation is becoming dire as we head to end-January", and the water resources for irrigation are seriously depleted. "However, Du Toitskloof commenced harvest on 21 January – about the same as last year. The heat and dry weather brought flowering and berry-set forward, but everything was even – as is ripening." Sauvignon blanc, their "signature variety" was picked already: "Superb quality, with phenolic ripeness showing at 19 degrees balling." Meanwhile, "red varieties appear healthy, although bunches are smaller due to the hot weather and we will see a lower yielding harvest but good quality". The grapes are all ripening fast, they say, "and we could see many varieties being harvested at the same time, placing pressure on the cellar". I reckon they'll cope with the plenitude, and gratefully!
Further down the Breede River is Lourens van der Westhuizen in the Robertson area, who is doing interesting and ambitious things for his own Arendsig label, as well as supplying good grapes to others (including Graham Beck for their bubbly: Grahame Back with grapes for MCC; the highest sugar delivered so far this year, Lourens says, is 19.5 Balling on pinot noir).
Very interesting. Lourens says: "Last season took me by surprise and it was a huge learning experience. So my vines were pruned to produce about 25%, less. I realized this would be the only way to get grapes on my farm optimal ripe at a lower Balling to produce still something close as possible to natural." But, he adds, "if it was not for the magic natural source of water, it's a hard task to keep your natural acids and get to optimal ripeness in the extreme heat conditions that South Africa has undergone".
Fortunately, January has given him "a lot to smile about", after earlier apprehension, saved by cooling wind. "Every morning over cast conditions, with a pleasant south Easter. There are short periods where the sun overpowers the clouds, but sun is not always a bad thing. Followed by our evenings that cool down." Earlier this week, Lourens's sauvignon was sitting at 19.5 Balling ("ready for fist selection"), Chardonnay at 20 Balling. "The grapes are busy getting optimally ripe and we are fortunate that its not baking hot." Fortunate indeed.
Further south
Along the South Coast, things are also looking much happier than along the West Coast. Peter-Allan Finlayson, who makes wines from (mostly) Hemel-en-Aarde vineyards for his Crystallum label, and is also winemaker at Gabriëlskloof in the Bot River ward of Walker Bay, is guardedly optimistic – though girding his winemaking loins. "Vintage wise, we seem to be less affected than the Swartland, but I still think it's going to be challenging. One of the reasons why 15 was so good was the reserves built up after a wet 14, which we don't have this year. The vines look good, but the acids seem lower and ripeness is uneven in some vineyards due to the greater stress. I will definitely look to pick a little earlier this year to preserve as much freshness as possible. It looks like a vintage where a little extra attention given to picking times will go a long way…."
It's interesting how many winegrowers are, in this generally complicated year, pointing to the crucial decisions that have to be made. In 2015, everything seemed so easy!
But Andries Burger, at Paul Cluver in Elgin, seems serene and not abnormally challenged. They picked their first grapes earlier this week (pinot noir for Simonsig Kaapse Vonkel). At this stage, he says "we are 5 days later than last year, which is still earlier than normal. I reckon we would have been closer to a normal season if we did not experience the warmer temperatures of December." He is lucking being able to turn to some judicious irrigation to mitigate that heat – it has "a significant effect in reducing heat stress in the plant"
In fact, Paul Cluver estate has "a bigger crop than last year due to better fruit set and unlike other grape growing regions have not been negatively impacted by the dry hot conditions". Little disease pressure in the dryer weather helps them to expect "an above average quality vintage". While dryland farmers have been shocked by the weightlessness of their grapes, Andries says they "seem to have slightly heavier bunches" – though, significantly, "we have smaller berries, our berry volume and berry weight is lower than last year. "Overall we expect a slightly bigger harvest at Paul Cluver compared to 2015, mainly due to less wind during flowering."
So – from anguish in the Swartland, to confident serenity in Elgin. And no doubt a lot of complications in between. The only single truth about the Cape's vintage 2016 seems to be that generalisations are out.

Know the Rules of the Game
Leverage Your 'Mod' Squad to Keep Workers' Comp Costs Down
By BILL GRINNELL
When Red Sox pitcher John Lackey grabbed his right arm in pain and walked off the mound in his first game of the 2013 baseball season, I can imagine that the Red Sox management held their breath. He had missed all of the 2012 season. They had just invested a year in getting Lackey healthy, including costly surgery and extensive rehabilitation.
During that year, Red Sox management diligently followed Lackey's progress. They encouraged his return as soon as possible. And, after learning that his pain that day was just a bicep strain, they had him up and throwing again 10 days later. He was back in the rotation to beat the Houston Astros just three weeks after the strain.
If you have an employee on your company's disabled list, you would do well to follow the Red Sox management's example.
Sidelined employees are not only a drain on productivity, but they can also quickly escalate your workers' compensation costs. Keeping tabs on these employees' healing process and getting them back to work as soon as possible are key to reining in those costs.
The factors that drive workers' compensation costs are many and complex. Understanding them is important. You can't manage what you don't know.
Generally speaking, workers' compensation policyholders with an insurance premium over $5,000 are subject to the Mass. Workers' Compensation Bureau experience-modification rules. These rules establish an experience-modification factor (or 'experience mod') that is used to calculate your workers' compensation insurance premium.
Like auto-insurance rates, experience mods are designed to make premiums cost more for those insureds with adverse loss experience and reward those with better-than-average experience.
The formula for your experience mod takes into account the frequency and severity of your losses compared with similar-sized companies in your industry. The bureau uses policy-holder loss data that is reported by insurers every year to calculate the experience mod.
The bureau looks at a three-year period of losses to minimize the effect of an extreme year (good or bad). The three-year period covers the three years prior to the last policy year completed. For example, an experience mod calculated on Jan. 1, 2014 will take into account the data from the policy years Jan. 1, 2010 to Jan. 1, 2011; Jan. 1, 2011 to Jan. 1, 2012; and Jan. 1, 2012 to Jan. 1, 2013.
A 'snapshot' of the losses is taken six months into a policy term and then reported. It's important to attempt to close out open claims or question high reserves prior to this six-month snapshot event.
How It Works
Let's talk about how the experience mod works and then get to how you can control your workers' compensation premiums.
Remember how I said that the experience mod takes your frequency and severity of losses and compares them to what would be expected of a company of your size in your industry?
Well, if your actual losses are lower than expected, your experience mod will be less than 1.0, yielding a credit factor. The credit factor is applied against the standard premium and will save you money.
If your actual losses are greater than expected, then your experience mod will be more than 1.0, generating a debit factor. The standard premium would then be multiplied by the computed debit.
In Massachusetts, it is important to understand the dramatic impact that small losses can have on an experience-mod calculation. The full brunt of a loss up to $5,000 is added into the equation. The amount of a loss above $5,000 is discounted by factors near 80%. Two $5,000 losses produce a significantly higher debit than one $10,000 loss.
Experience-mod calculations are more sensitive to adverse loss experience today than ever before. While our elected officials can claim that Massachusetts has some of the lowest workers' compensation rates in the country, you won't hear them talking about mod calculations. Favorable rates have been significantly offset by experience-mod surcharges.
Loss-control programs, safety manuals, and light-duty return-to-work plans are all important ingredients toward achieving a lower mod. Tactics like these and others can be your 'mod squad' and help you keep workers' compensation premiums down.
But most important of all, be careful who you hire. New hires have consistently been the source of the worst workers' compensation claims. Your hiring process is the key to your workers' compensation experience-mod success.
With a selective hiring process, diligence with employee safety, and support to get injured and ill workers back on the job, you can keep your experience mod in check — and hopefully get World Series-winning performance from your employees!

British Government takes over the role of parents by force!
Danger – Never trust the WHO or your government on such matters
As a parent it is your responsibility alone for deciding what is or is not pumped into your children
Can you remember the days when it was the responsibility of every parent to decide what their children should or should not have?…………you may be surprised to learn that this function is now being taken over by our government rendering your ability to look after the welfare of your own family as being a thing of the past.
My concern has always been the master plan by the New World Order to depopulate this planet by whatever means are necessary………..one of those ways being by mass vaccinations!!
I was shocked to read today's newspapers that revealed the following headlines: All children to have flu vaccine and tried to come to terms with the fact that our government is not only now playing God but also taking away the ability of our natural immune system to deal with the day to day bugs that have been so much part of our lives for centuries.
Before focusing on this issue let's look into the two government scams that have in the past been almost forced upon us without any real evidence that such vaccines are of any benefit to us all.
Let's first take the HPV vaccine that was rushed through its normal protocol and made available to all young girls of high school age in which our health authorities led us to believe that this vaccine would reduce the possibility of women contracting cervical cancer in later life.
What I found amazing was the fact that one of the experts in the field, Dr. Harper, herself became concerned that this vaccine had bypassed the normal screening protocol and rushed into production with any firm evidence that it was indeed effective.
It became apparent that when the HPV vaccines were tested on animals in the laboratory most of the females animals became sterile and this then led me to believe that this could truly be a NWO ploy to carry out mass sterilisation of the worlds female population……not to mention the very serious side effects that has occurred around the world.
It would appear that when I last checked how far this bogus vaccine had been initiated in Britain I found that at least 75% of young school age females have already been inoculated…….however it does require a series of injections to complete the programme and one can only hope that common sense prevails and parents start rejecting what they are being led to believe…………..one must also keep in mind that this HPV vaccine only attacks 4 strains of the 100 strains that are believed to cause cervical cancer and that pap smears are still required.
My comment would be that if regular checks are carried out and the pap smear programme is fully maintained one can address the problem as soon as any abnormal cell activity is found……..in my opinion the HPV vaccine is a scam to prop up the very lucrative pharmaceutical industry and at the same time taking away the right of every women to have a child or for every aged person to experience the joy of becoming a grandparent!
Let's now look at the other scam that they called the "Swine Flu Pandemic" in 2009 that fizzled out into a non event and in actual fact only turned out something equivalent to a normal flu outbreak around the world.
Again we were led to believe by the WHO that this was going to be a pandemic of giant proportions and scare tactics were launched to encourage people to be vaccinated as a matter of urgency and again the pharmaceutical companies made a financial killing into selling vaccinations in mass to many governments around the world, most of which were never used and had to be thrown away and it certainly never reached the level of qualifying as a pandemic.
For those that may not be aware the current top up annual flu vaccine given to aged people and those that are medically venerable now incorporates the "Swine Flu Vaccine" and all done without your knowledge…………one should start to ask questions as I do……..ask your doctor or senior nurse if they have had the jab and you may be shocked to learn that many have not and will not have the vaccine…….ever asked why?
Now we come to the latest forced mass vaccination programme that certainly has some sinister overtone that should make you as a parent to start asking questions!!
The latest government scam says "All children are to be given the flu vaccination after experts said it could save up to 2,000 lives a year"………what it does not tell you is exactly what is in this vaccine and what are the long term detrimental effects of forcing our children to have this vaccine?
As one would expect we have all become sheep and accept without question whatever our government tells us but how come you do not look at the bigger picture whereby the New World Order and its partner in crime the United Nations via the WHO are telling us that the world's population must be reduced by as much as possibility 80%…….ever asked yourself how this can be achieved or what gives them the right to act as God?
The latest report states that younger children will be given the spray at their GP practice and schoolchildren will receive it at school.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, which advises the Government on vaccination policy, said the flu programme should be extended to children because it could reduce the rate of infection by 40%………again one should ask the question what proof is there that what the Joint Committee is telling us is correct……..we heard all this propaganda when they talked about the "Swine Flu Pandemic" but they were wrong.
The UK will become the first country to offer the flu vaccine to healthy children free of charge. The measure is expected to cost £100 million a year.
The report stated that healthy children are among those who are least likely to develop complications from being infected by flu, but their close contact with each other means they are more likely to transmit the virus to one another and other vulnerable people.
My conclusion to the above paragraph would be to understand that we are born into this world with a natural immune system and that it is time to stop the government from killing off this natural immunity and to stop treating us in the same way as genetically modified crops or the cloning of our DNA.
This governments trend has now surpassed common sense and is embarking on a path which we should all avoid…………it is time for you the sheep to become shepherds and stop them in their tracks………we must never allow our government to take over our role as parent……at the end of the day it is our God given right to look after our own children!!!

Is this a prelude for an Israeli "False Flag" attack at the Olympics?
In case you have not noticed the Israeli's are putting out lots of media hype against Iran.
This week has seen a saturation of classic Zionist written article that clearly blame Iran for the recent bus bombing in Bulgaria without even the slightest shred of evidence.
One such article went a step further and managed to pull other elements into the fray that could be a clear indication that they wish to justify not only an attack on Syria but also on Lebanon and Iran….The Sunday Times article read as follows: Mossad said "is hunting a group of white Europeans who are thought to have converted to Islam and to be working with the Iranian Quds force and Hezbollah, the terrorist group backed by Tehran.
It has been known for some time that any joint attack by Britain, US, France and Germany would be on many fronts and could include striking targets in Syria, Lebanon, Iran and possibly Palestine but in doing so requires some sort of justification……..needless to say another mammoth "False Flag" could be in the making and what better place for this to take place that at the Olympic Games in London!!
The headlines in the Sunday papers should give some indication to anyone with an ounce of intelligence that Israel is clearly planning yet another attack somewhere…..just as they did in 9/11 with obviously a little help from the CIA and MI5/6.
One report read as follows: Israel is seriously concerned that Israeli athletes at the Olympic Games in London may become a target of a terror strike, according to media reports.
The coming Summer Olympics, which will kick off on Friday, mark the 40th anniversary of the Munich Games massacre, which saw terrorists kill 11 Israeli athletes and coaches.
It was only this week that President Obama also expressed his desire to hold a moment of silence in memory of those who died in Munich……the Daily Mail ran this headline: President Obama threw his support behind Israeli officials who are calling for a moment of silence at the London Olympics in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the massacre at the Munich Games in 1972.
I found Mossad's statement about the Bulgarian bombing was rather pathetic and one would have to ask some serious questions about the integrity of the Israeli secret service that was once acclaimed to be one of the best in the world………I myself was once involved in a major contract with Israel and found there intelligence to be in top form but sadly it has now stooped to a level of being almost comical!!
Take a look at this statement they made – "One of the Israelis' targets is thought to be a terrorist carrying a US passport under the name of David Jefferson, who is believed to have fled after the Burgas attack" and "is thought to have another powerful device" like that used in last week's bombing, said the report.
Clearly this hype has gone totally out of control as it did for the alleged shoe bomber and the underwear bomber…….no doubt the next one is likely to be a "Bra Bomber"!!!!!
It was Israel's own newspaper that covered it's front page with the same headline:
Israeli officials have warned that an Iranian terror squad in Europe may be planning to attack its athletes at the 2012 Olympic Games, sparking the largest security operation in peacetime Britain.
Haaretz also reported that the Sunday Times had said that "panic rooms have been installed beneath the stadium as a haven for VIPs and spectators in the event of an attack."………..one would have to have some very serious concerns about such reports that could be a prelude to a genuine attack……..however I would make it clear to you all that Iran has never attacked anyone and that most of the historical terrorist attacks have been inside jobs and absolutely had nothing to do with Iran or any Islamic country!!
The Sunday Times really has gone over its good journalism protocol by printing this garbage and even went a stage further to say: "Security experts say the Quds force — a unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards — has recruited a number of white European Islamic converts, including two Germans, one from Sweden and a couple of Britons."
New York police believe Iranian Revolutionary Guards or their proxies have been involved so far this year in nine plots against Israeli or Jewish targets around the world, according to restricted police documents obtained by Reuters (how very convenient).
We must all put this into true perspective by fully understanding that all that is written has originated from the Zionists who control the majority of the world's media and clearly does not show any aspect of truth or integrity.
If one evaluates this final statement one can clearly see a build up to some sort of action or conflict against those named:
The reports detail two plots in Bangkok and one each in New Delhi, Tbilisi, Baku, Mombasa and Cyprus. Each plot was attributed to Iran or its Lebanese Hezbollah militant allies, said the reports, which were produced following the bombing in Burgas, Bulgaria of a bus carrying Israeli tourists.
I believe the Sunday Times, just like the BBC has now stooped to the lowest level of journalism and clearly has lost the plot!!
Next week see the start of the London Olympics and one can only hope and pray that our assumptions are wrong and that the games pass by without an incident…….however one would have to say that maybe we have got all of this wrong and any potential attack is not to target innocent people but to focus its attention of the "Hub of the New World Order" – London – "The True Axis of Evil"………..now that certainly would be acceptable!!

There are two completely different diseases that cause a high blood sugar. We call them Type I diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. Because it usually begins during childhood, type 1 is also called juvenile onset or childhood onset diabetes (although adults can get it). Type 2 is called adult onset because it usually begins in adults, although today more and more young people are coming down with this form of diabetes. Type 1 is sometimes called insulin dependent diabetes because it requires insulin injections. Type 2 is sometimes called non-insulin dependent diabetes because it is often treated with oral medications; although Type 2s can often end up on high doses of insulin-much higher than Type 1s. It may be confusing to still hear all these different names being used, but the scientific community has now accepted Type 1 and Type 2 as the correct terminology for these two diabetic diseases.
Some Good News for Type 1 Diabetics!
Type 1 diabetes is a disease where there is no insulin available. The beta cells in the pancreas have been destroyed so there is no longer a way for the body to make insulin.
Normally insulin would attach to the insulin-receptors and thus open little sugar doors allowing the cells of the body to take in the sugar they need. Let's follow through what happens when the body cannot make the insulin that it needs. As the sugar level rises in the blood after a meal, there is no insulin to open the sugar doors so the sugar cannot get into the cells. The sugar backs up in the blood and the blood sugar level gets higher and higher, much higher than normal.
What can the body do to get rid of all this sugar in the blood? It must wash it out through the kidneys and that takes a lot of water, which makes a lot of urine. But , it also dehydrates the body in the process and so we get very thirsty. These are the first symptoms of diabetes, excessive thirst, which leads to drinking a lot of water and passing a lot of urine. And, if you test the urine, it will be very high in suga, normal urine doesn't have any sugar. Long ago they would pour some of the urine on the ground near an anthill and if the ants would come to eat it, the diagnosis of diabetes was made.
What is happening to the body's cells in this type 1 diabetes? Without insulin to open the doors, there is no way to get sugar inside the cells. The cells are very hungry. Actually, they are starving to death in a sea of sugar.
What does a starving cell do? It starts to disassemble and eat itself. It can start to burn proteins and fats instead of sugar for energy. But this can create some problems. Imagine you were locked in a room during a freezing blizzard with only a wood stove for heat. Now, imagine that you have run out of firewood. What can you do to keep from freezing? You could start to break up the furniture and burn it for fuel. You could tear the paneling off the walls and burn the doorframes and window frames. You could burn the seat cushions and peel up the carpets to burn. But now you have some serious problems. Not only are you destroying some important and badly needed structures, you are probably making a lot of smoke. Those seat cushions and carpets don't burn clean. They give off some toxic fumes, and this is what happens when you burn fat without sugar. It burns dirty. Some of the toxins are called ketones and as the ketones build up in the blood, it becomes acidic and we call it diabetic ketoacidosis or DKA.
A child in DKA is very sick. Before the discovery of insulin they all died. But today we can give them IV normal saline to correct the dehydration and we can give them antiemetic medication to stop the vomiting. And, of course, we can give them insulin to open the doors and let the sugar into the cells once more. And then we can give them several injections of insulin every day to keep opening these little sugar doors on all the cells for every meal they eat. This is Type 1 diabetes.
Who Killed the Beta Cells?
There is another question we must ask. What happened to the beta cells? Why are they dead and gone? Who killed them?
Sometimes we think it might be a viral infection that attacks the beta cells and destroys them. I met a woman once who was in an automobile accident that destroyed her pancreas and since that accident, she has been a Type 1 diabetic. But, today scientific research is pointing its finger at a new culprit, cow's milk. We now know that most Type 1 diabetics inherited a trait that causes their body to produce proteins on the beta cells, which in composition are very similar to bovine (cow) protein found in cow's milk. We have found this particular protein to be present in about 80% of the dairy herds.
So how does this work? First we need to understand how the body's immune system works. Your immune system is your body's security services' your military and police forces. It is their job to protect you from your enemies, such as, bacteria, viruses, cancer cells, or anything that is not part of your normal body.
When a baby is born it has a weak, immature immune system. So God has designed a special way to protect the baby from all of the threats from different bacteria and viruses in its environment. Mother has lived in this environment for many years and she has been exposed to lots of different bacteria and viruses. Her immune system has identified them and made antibodies against them. These antibodies are special protein molecules that are coded for a specific part of a virus or bacteria. If mother is ever exposed to the same virus again, these previously coded antibodies identify the enemy immediately and destroy it before it can spread and cause an infection. We say that she is now immune to this virus.
So how does this help her new baby? Her body packages a supply of these antibodies in her breast milk. When the baby nurses, it receives a supply of these antibodies in the mother's milk. Remember that these antibodies are made of protein. What normally happens to protein when it is eaten? When it reaches the stomach it is digested. That means that stomach acid and various enzymes cut up the protein into hundreds of little pieces we call amino acids. These little amino acids are then absorbed through the intestines into the blood and can be used by the body to make new proteins. So why doesn't the baby just digest these protein antibodies? Because mother has packaged them in special little packages in the milk so that they cannot be digested. These little packages of antibodies pass through the stomach undigested and are absorbed through the intestinal wall intact and release their whole intact antibodies into the baby's blood. Now the baby is immune to whatever mom was immune to a very nice arrangement!
So what's the problem? We are not baby cows! Mother cow packages her proteins for her baby calf and then we feed this milk to our children. Now we are releasing whole intact cow proteins into our children's blood. As our children grow and their immune systems mature, the day comes when they recognize that these cow proteins don't belong in the human body so they start to make antibodies against them. They become allergic to cow's milk. Ask an allergist what is the most common allergy in humans and they will tell you it is dairy products.
How can this cause Type 1 diabetes? Some children inherit a trait where their beta cells make certain proteins on their surfaces that are very similar to certain proteins found in cow's milk. This cow protein has been identified and it is found in about 80% of the dairy herds. The problem is that if they become allergic to the cow protein, then because it is so similar to the proteins on the beta cells, these antibodies will start attacking their beta cells and destroying them also. Research studies have shown that all Type 1 diabetics have developed high levels of this particular antibody. And, when most of the beta cells are gone, these children cannot make enough insulin anymore and now they are Type 1 diabetics.
An interesting study is to find the incidence of Type 1 diabetes in the different countries of the world and then compare this data with the per capita consumption of dairy products in these same countries. When you plot this data, you will see a direct correlation! Those countries that have almost no access to dairy products have a very low incidence of Type 1 diabetes. As the consumption of dairy products in a country increases, so does the incidence of Type 1 diabetes. In countries like the United States where the consumption of dairy products is very high, the incidence of type 1 diabetes is also very high. Can you guess which country has the highest incidence of Type 1 diabetes? Finland, and it also has the highest consumption of dairy products.
What if I've been a Type 1 diabetic for many years?
What if the diabetes has been going on for a while? Insulin injections will be important to maintain the blood sugar levels in the normal range. The best diet and exercise plan to help normalize these sugar levels is the simple whole plant food diet that we share with you during the seminar and regular daily exercise. Three meals a day should be adequate. Snacks between these meals should not be necessary if you are getting sufficient complex carbohydrates and fiber in your meals. If the sugars are still dropping between meals you are on too much insulin. Exercise is a powerful medicine and if you get a jump in your sugar level, consider additional exercise to bring it down instead of increasing the insulin dose.
Type 1 diabetics who adopt this diet and exercise program typically see a reduction in their insulin dosages and stabilization of their sugar levels making it much easier to stay within the normal range.
The road back
If you will think carefully about how this disease has progressed to this point you will begin to see what all the excitement is about. What is the real problem here? Is it a lack of insulin or is it a lack of these sugar doors? There are not enough doors! The cells have removed all the doors because they aren't hungry anymore.
So you can see that what we really need is not more insulin but more doors.
But your doctor can't prescribe a pill or injection of new doors for your cells. So how can we get more doors back on our cells? It is really quite simple. We have to make the cells hungry! A hungry cell will make thousands of doors all over its surface.
How do we make a cell hungry? Exercise! Walk, walk, walk, walk.
And this is the simple secret that is allowing diabetics to walk away from heart attacks, dialysis, and daily insulin injections.
The rest of the story
The other half of the secret is that you have to learn to eat right so your body is not overloaded with calories. And the lifestyle treatment centers that are specializing in reversing diabetes have found that a simple unrefined vegetarian diet is the answer. In real life situations this is the diet that actually works. It allows diabetics to eat three meals a day and never go hungry and never count calories or exchanges again. This may seem surprising to some, but the proof is seen in these patients' success.
One of these centers, Weimar Center of Health & Education in California, has developed the NEWSTART Lifestyle Program using their own special version of this diet together with walking all under close physician supervision and testing. They report 50% of Type 2 diabetics off of all medications and insulin with a normal blood sugar in just 21 days. 80% of patients with neuropathy are pain free in just 17 days! No pill in the world can do that.
If you or someone you love is a diabetic, the good news is that with an about-face in lifestyle, diabetes can be reversed. Heart attacks, strokes, neuropathy, blindness, dialysis, infections, and amputations are not an inevitable part of your future. You can literally walk away from all these. The sun of hope is shining at the end of the road when you turnaround and walk in the opposite direction.
