text: Three senior hockey teams travelled to Vinehall to play hockey on a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon in February. The hockey was as hot as the weather! The short pitches meant the games were end-to-end, with lots of scoring opportunities. In the first game Jamie P was dominant, taking the ball forward and making some great passes forward to Max R, who found space effectively. The score in this game was 4-2 to Vinehall, with just two minutes to play. Taking more direct options, the Saint Ronan's team scored two in two minutes, to make the final result an exciting 4-4. Matthew H contributed very well. On the other pitch, the game was less pacey. We could improve our control and sending of the ball, and our sharpness of thought and action. Arthur G dribbled well and Max B scored a cracking goal. In the final game, Gethan T ran strongly and passed the ball crisply to his teammates, and Joe T and Willem C were again busy in goal, making many wonderful saves. These boys were having so much fun, and were so engrossed in the game, that we weren't even sure of the score at the end. For those to whom the outcome is important, it must be said that Vinehall were clear winners. However, in terms of the more important aspects - enjoyment, sportsmanship and learning - Saint Ronan's were superb.

Greetings folks.
For several weeks I have attempted to download C1 12.x Express for Sony (as well as the 30-day trial pro for Sony), Windows version, without any success.
These are the URLs for the above mentioned downloads:
All I get when I click on the Windows download icon is a very brief spinning circle (about one second or less), and no download is initiated.
I have now tried dozens of times, using Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Epic, and MS Edge.
Exactly the same results as mentioned.
I have turned off ad blockers, etc. No difference.
By the way, I'm not a computer novice. I have been designing and building desktops for over 25 years.
I had submitted a ticket weeks ago, and all I received was very much an arrogant short reply with the link above (which I had included in my ticket submission to begin with).
My subsequent follow up messages / replies resulted in no reply at all.
Is this a normal Phase One support?
Does anyone know why this download problem is happening? or ..
Is there another direct link to download the above product?
Thanks in advance.

My understanding of nutrition works like this – if there are vegetables in it, it's automatically healthy. And if it sounds disgusting, it's probably good for you. And if eating one of it is good for you, then eating all of it must be the best course of action.
These muffins are gluten-free (which is 1 point in your favor), have two different types of vegetables (which is 2 more points), and are also egg-free (by way of the disgustingly-named flaxseed, so another point!), so you can eat them all without feeling bad. And in the name of healthy living, you definitely should!
Gluten-Free Carrot Zucchini Muffins (14 of 750)
Adapted from 750 Best Muffin Recipes by Camilla Saulsbury
Makes 12 muffins (45 minis)
- 2 1/4 cups brown rice flour blend (I used 1 1/4 cups of the blend and then 1 cup of Bob's all-purpose GF mix)
- 2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 6 tbsp water (or use 2 eggs)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 cup finely shredded carrots
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- 1/2 cup golden raisins, soaked in hot water until plump
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour blend, spices, baking soda, and xanthan gum.
- In a medium bowl, mix together flaxseed meal and water and set aside for two minutes. The mixture will become thick and (magically) have the consistency of beaten eggs.
- Combine brown sugar, oil, and vanilla with flaxseed mixture until well blended. Add the milk and mix until blended.
- Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just blended. Gently fold in carrots, zucchini, and raisins.
- Divide batter equally among prepared muffin cups.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan on a wire rack fr 5 minutes, then transfer to the rack to cool.
The most important thing about these muffins is my belated revelation that flaxseed is an egg substitute. When did that happen?? It's a grain, but when mixed with water, it becomes exactly like an egg! Mind. Blown. MIND! BLOWN!!
To get back to the topic on hand…my love-hate relationship with gluten-free baking continues with these muffins. Don't get me wrong, they're tasty, but they just don't look that great. I'm pretty shallow when it comes to baked goods, okay?? But ugly or not, these are the perfect guilt-free muffin. They're light in a soft, spongey way, and spices are a great pairing to the carrot and zucchini.
So go ahead, eat one or twenty.

"Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India ltd CEO, Mr. Yukihiro Aoshima speaks about the future plans of the Japanese Giant in India"
- Let us start with your plans for fiscal 2007-08.
Yukihiro Aoshima:In the last financial year ending March 2007, we reached sales and production of 700,000 units and in the new fiscal we aim at 900,000 units. If possible, we would like to reach one million units. Once we reach one million, we would be considered one of the top groups in the two-wheeler segment. Today, we are fourth in the industry but far behind the top three — Hero Honda, Bajaj and TVS. This fiscal is going to be crucial to ascertain if we can go for our target.
How do you plan to get to that number?
Aoshima: We have two plants — the scooter unit can make 600,000 units and we can easily sell those numbers. However, our challenging area is motorcycle sales. Before we started this fiscal year, we made a few changes in our models including the Unicorn and Shine to pick up sales. We expect to reach sales of 300,000 motorcycles this year and together with 600,000 units of scooters, reach the 900,00 units mark that I have mentioned.
Aoshima: For most of the year, we will compete with the same model line-up. However, we do plan on introducing some cosmetic changes into our current line up — Dio, Activa and Eterno. We will take necessary measures to ramp up scooter production and sales. Last fiscal, we produced and sold over 530,000 scooters. By the end of the fiscal, we will be launching a new scooter model.
My Comment: "Scooters..??"
My Comment: "After 6 years in India, the Mighty Honda is still behind our "Desi" Hero Honda, Bajaj, TVS..!!
Its actually Bewildering..!!
Aoyama: In the Indian market, an estimated sixty percent of the motorcycle market comprises 100cc bikes. So we cannot neglect that big segment. Bajaj announced their intention to exit this segment, but again, as per media reports, they would stay. So, naturally even they see potential in this segment.
Traditionally, 100cc bikes have been practical, fuel-efficient, mileage conscious and durable. We are looking at something different because the tastes of the customer are changing drastically. Over the last three to four years, people have started looking at more international tastes. We want to give that international taste and fun driving experience, along with easy handling, stylish and sporty features to our customers. We will target younger buyers.
My Comment: "100 C.C segment..?? Fair enough.. please go ahead. But Mr. Aoyama, Younger Buyers don't aspire for 100 C.C "economisers". It's the cash strapped bloke who does"
Aoyama: As a company, we are already aware of what's going on in the market and what people think. With our experience, we can predict, if you like, what is going to happen in the future, not only in India but also internationally. Our 100cc offering would be based on that experience. We will ensure that the new product increases Honda's brand image in the market. And yes, we have commissioned a study which is on-going.
My Comment: "Err.. can we talk something above 100 C.C..??"
Aoyama: As long as the current import duty structure, at 113 percent, continues, the market will be limited. The retail price can be three times of the base price because of the import duty. That would not be easy.
My Comment: "I always knew it..!!
Aoyama: I don't think this would affect our business in the immediate future. But in the next five years, this can change. After 20 years, India would be one of the biggest markets for bigger bikes. Volume wise, the Indian market can get bigger than the American or European markets. But for that to happen, there are issues that need immediate attention. Road conditions, for example, need to improve.
My Comment: "All I know is that in 20 years I'll be all Grey and Wrinkly"
Aoshima: It is natural for people to relate with the Activa because that was the first product we launched in India. It has remained a successful product for us, and comes with many innovative features. Our cumulative Activa sales have crossed 1.5 million. I would say that the fact that the Activa is what most people associate with the Honda name is an area of concern because the image created by the scooter might not match the image of the motorcycle brand. This is because of the character of the vehicle.
Worldwide, be it Europe or the US, Honda is present both in scooters and big Bike segments. So, as far as other markets are concerned, we have been successful. I am not saying it is easy to do the same in India, but we have to do that. That is our goal in India.
In fact, HMSI is one of the quickest companies to reach that number. Image-wise, HMSI is not recognised as international. One of our recent surveys said the customers expect much more from us, including innovative products, the latest technologies and an international image. We recognise people's expectations and the current position. We will endeavour to introduce such an image through products or through events.
My Comment: "ZZZZZzzzzz... ZZZZZzzzzz..."
Aoshima: Dealerships will continue to be separate. Actually, we once tried to use common vendors but with each supplier busy meeting their current demand, getting into new businesses becomes difficult.
My Comment: "With Honda eyeing the 100 C.C segment, it should ring a few alarm bells for Hero Honda"
Aoyama: The FI technology Hero Honda introduced is only one of the many technologies we have pioneered. But the way we can differentiate in terms of technology would be through mass production technologies which provide the highest quality products with the least defects. That is something that is going to make us feel proud. Production related technologies are the most difficult to realise. The FI technology, which we have in European, US and Japanese markets, is an expensive technology. We have to introduce technologies that are affordable, and moreover are of the best quality.
My Comment: "Affordable technologies..??
Oh..!! I almost forgot.. India is after all a developing country.. Right..??
Aoshima: We will gradually introduce the international Honda brand to India. The models that we will launch in India in the future will have an international image. In the six years that we have been selling Honda in India, we have sold over one million units, which is remarkable.
My Comment: "After 6 years in India, the Mighty Honda is still behind our "Desi" Hero Honda, Bajaj, TVS..!!
Its actually Bewildering..!!

In a matter of seconds after texting NRA to 50409, you can find out who your state's two U.S. senators are, your representative in the U.S. House and your state's governor and how much money they have received from the NRA, plus how much the NRA has donated to their opposition.
We tested it out, first by texting NRA to the number.
They then asked for our address, so we texted 1201 East Jefferson Street, 85034 (the address of Phoenix New Times)
And within seconds we were told all about our representatives in the House and Senate, and Doug Ducey is our Governor.
"The NRA has spent $7,755,701 in direct and outside support to help Sen. John McCain win, and $15,180 in opposition," it read.
The total was $365,302 for Senator Jeff Flake, with zero in opposition, and zero for Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema, with $20,556 in opposition.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
It even took things a step further, and auto-created tweets about McCain and Flake calling on them to send back some of the money they received from the NRA.
The final message it automatically sent us said what you can do anytime in the future. If you text "resist" or "giffords" it will connect you with a group organizing against gun violence in America.
The power of social media.

Some weeks, looking at the news, it is hard not to despair for humanity. Nightly the violence played out in the streets of Ukraine's capitol and across Syria, where a madman in an ordinary business suit, looking like somebody's brother-in-law at a wedding you didn't want to go to is without any trace of conscious slaughtering old men, women and young children – his people.
While the world was watching the Olympics in Sochi the past week, a report was released by the UN Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights that seemed to make barely a ripple in the collective conscious of the media. The almost 400-page report detailing the atrocities in North Korea was like reading Orwell's terrifying novel 1984 in the form of a legal indictment, or like wading through a sewer of human degeneracy.
I only read the 36-page summary, which was enough to grasp the horror and outrage of the authors, who compiled their report from the eyewitness accounts of many North Koreans who have escaped from prison camps or simply risked death crossing the border into China or South Korea to avoid starvation.
In some ways we knew what was going on all along. For forty years the Kims, like Big Brother in the novel, have been brainwashing their people into the cult of the Glorious Leader, but also running vast prison camps where thought crimes were and are punished by a lifetime of forced labor if the brainwashing fades or doesn't take hold.
North Korea is only an isolated aberration, I thought. But I had picked up a copy of Nick Turse's new book about the "American" war in Vietnam, Kill Anything that Moves, and began to read it while I lay in bed recovering from the flu. I'm not sure which made me more nauseous, the viruses in my stomach or the brutality of American policy such as body counts and free fire zones as we burned the villages and killed the civilians in a kind of casual racist bureaucratic frenzy. All of it was known, most of it was approved, and vast relics of it were hidden away and forgotten in cardboard file boxes in basements, or in the traumatized psyches of those who came through it.
We teach our children the most whitewashed history, the most idealized view of kind Pilgrims and hardy pioneers, leaving out the ugly details that tell a different story. I don't think that is so bad in the earliest years when we're turning pumpkins into turkeys, but beyond the fourth grade it is just another form of brainwashing.
There is, I think, some tragic flaw in mankind that we have not discovered yet with fMRI brain scans or century of psychology. The Greeks knew it long ago and named it tragedy – the goat song. First it was the gods that drove us mad and made us kill our mother to revenge our father. Later they learned it was the tragic flaw of our own nature, often pride or arrogance, usually blind to itself, that destroyed the tragic hero like Oedipus. We saw that clearly in the opening years of the Iraq war – shock and awe – and the arrogance of the empty suits in the Pentagon and White House blind to their emptiness.
But tragedy is not futile or nihilistic. We can, through struggle, transcend our moral blindness, if not our human condition. We can learn why we see the evil in others but not in ourselves. And maybe someday we can develop a true science of mind that can guide us out of the abyss of our inhumanity.

Theory: The Societal Similarities of Golf and Knitting
Since many of you are curious I'm going to tell you about my theory. Before I go into the whole Knitty submission thing, I think I need to give you my general theory on this whole knitting game, which I equate much to the game of golf. Golf is a sport. The sport itself is only prejudical in the fact that if you don't learn how to play you don't get to play. If you take the time to learn the game you can eventually play well. Your swing, equipment, and the elements determine your success. No other people are involved.
For some golf is more than the actually equipment and the elements. It is about all the surrounding activities like the clubs, courses, social interaction, prestige,and the exclusivity. Golf for a long time had it's traditions. For a time it was seen as a white man's sport. Only certain men went to certain clubs based on their societal status. One should only where a certain style of clothing if you wanted to be proper and accepted. One did not break the traditions. If one wanted to be accepted to a particular club they had to conform to the club they were trying to join. Only until recent years did the acceptance of woman, minorities, and younger players because more of the norm.
In the same way knitting has it's traditions, perceptions, and demographics. Traditionally knitting was seen as a thing for older white women and as of late has changed to target all races, ages, and genders. Traditionally, knitting was all about technique and making really ornate pieces that didn't always focus on fashion or style. Now there has been more of a focus on fashionable knits. And even with all these changes, there are other things that stay the same. Knitting can be snobby and pretentious. It can be cliquish and has it's groups. Some people are all about the process and technique. Some people don't like people that only make scarves. Older women talk down to young knitters because they think they are "fad/bandwagon" knitters. There are leaders and joiners.
Like golf, if you are going to venture into new knitting territories, you have to know your surroundings. It's no longer about the game but the personalities surrounding the game. If it were only about knitting, you could do that at home by yourself. If you want to join something socially knitting related then you have to find the things that fit your personality. If you chose to get involved in it then you chose to deal with all the stigmas, traditions, etc. that come with it.
Now for some personal elaboration.
When you pick certain publications, you pick them based on their personalities and traditions. Vogue Knitting's main goal is fashion. You can tell this by the use of top notch designers and the fact that they are based in New York, the fashion capital. Interweave, based in Colorado, is all about the technique and uniqueness of a design. They say as much in their designer submission guidelines. I don't think fashionable, by NYC standards, is the first thing on their minds.
This brings me to design submissions. If you are going to submit then you must understand who you are submitting to and the persons picking designs. The folks at Knitty cater to what they personally like and what they think their friends personally will like. Priority goes to the latest cool kid on the blog block, published designers, and people that they know, like, and have been lucky enough to have made it into their mag before. My mother equates it to a sorority for which I may or may not be granted admission. Secondly, the designs they pick must be something that their choosers would actually wear. An easier way to say this is, my style may not equal their style. I'm a little more Bebe/Guess/Anthropologie and Knitty is a little more Cold Water Creek/Chicos. While both style types are fashionable, they differ due to the differences in conservativeness ,being age-appropriatene, and body types/sizes. The next factor, is that they pick things that are either extremely traditional or extremely weird. (There was a pattern for a "stocking hat" that was basically a big sock on your head.* Please tell me why? WHYYYYY?) The last factor is that they like to focus on techniques.
All of this is to say that I've figured out how they pick designs. I don't want you to think that I am in some way bashing them because I'm not. I don't begrudge them in their way of chosing. It is their site and they can do as they please. I have only to deal with it and take my chances. Will I continue to submit? Possibly. Here is the thing. I design something because it is what I want to wear. I am all about the fashion. Is it cute? Is it stylish? Will people think it is store bought or handmade? That is what I think about. If something I do fits their mold, then I might send it. If not, you'll see it right here.
That's all folks. Feel free to discuss it amongst yourselves.
*You know I love you all, but if I see you with anything like that on your head, I'm snatching it off your head without apology. A good friend doesn't let you walk out the house looking nuts like that.

"if unless you are a fan, don't watch it"
* Like 'Mondo Magic' this was a bit too gross and won't become too many folks' favorite.
* This is like 'Africa Addio' except without a lot of the colonial violence. Most of this violence is either self-inflicted or natural.
* Is it watchable? Only if you're a fan of this genre. If you're not...stay FAR away.
* The home style surgery scenes will make anyone squirm.
* And running the risk of sounding insensitive...some of those natives were UGLY.
* The Castiglionis were just following the Mondo footsteps laid for them by Jac and Pros.
Again, only if you're a fan.
[Instead, watch The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. Based on the novel by John Boyne.... :-)]

Losing sense of humour
One of my greatest fear is that if i ever lost my sense of humour. I think and think will it ever be possible. Sometimes people see the scariest things in their life and nothing scares them anymore. Likewise, if I ever see the funniest thing in my life, will it be possible that I blew my funny fuse? My sense of humour overloaded and nothing else seems to be funny anymore.
I googled and googled. Here's one answer I've found to know if we have lost our sense of humor:
1. When we can't take a joke on ourselves. You've heard it said, "Laugh and world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone." I'm not saying that it is always right, but to a great degree it's true.
2. When others' sense of humor gets "on our nerves." Don't let this happen. The world has a name for you: "party-pooper".
3. When we stop looking for funny incidents in life. I call this operation – lemonade. When life hands me lemons I attempt to juice them, water it down, add the sugar of laughter and produce some delicious lemonade. Try to find something to laugh about this week, and see if it doesn't go better.
And here's one blogger who said "I've lost my sense of humour".
Somewhere over the weekend I lost my sense of humor. I wasn't expecting to lose it and was caught off guard when I did. I had it on Saturday night while wearing Kyla's ruby red slippers. I was feeling pretty good Sunday morning when Joe and I went for a walk.
Sometimes it seems that the better I feel, the harder I can be knocked down. Was it a remark I took too seriously? Some feedback I didn't want to hear? Will I stuff my bad feelings in with the rest of my emotional baggage, or will my bad feelings just wear off in time? If I bury them, won't they take root and sprout up at some other time? Can I just change my mind and not feel them anymore? Where do bad feelings go?
Driving to town Monday morning, on my way to play Scrabble with Mara, I spotted a single burnt-orange couch cushion lying in the middle of the road. I didn't smile at the unlikely sight or stop to take a picture, as I normally would. Instead, the out-of-place sad cushion reminded me how out-of-place I felt. It was then that I knew I had lost my sense of humor. It was then that I wanted it back.
Hmmm….. it can really happen!! Some people said if you lost your sense of humour, look inside the closet behind the vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaner?? I thought it had already gone down the drain.
And recently i found this somewhere "Although researchers have long known that a good sense of humor has many healthy benefits, relatively little is known about how humor is handled by the brain. Thanks to new imaging techniques (MRI), researchers are now learning more about how the brain processes humor and may one day be able to help people who have lost their sense of humor due to depression or other psychological disorders."
i love jokes, i love to pull other's legs, i like to play the evilish way always, specially behind the curtain (read net). ahh… its really getting long here. cyaoooo

Best Movies of 2008
1. THE KITE RUNNER - In the 70's in Afghanistan, the Pushtun boy Amir and the Hazara boy Hassan, who is his loyal friend and son of their Hazara servant Ali, are raised together in Amir's father house, playing and kitting on the streets of a peaceful Kabul. Amir feels that his wise and good father Baba blames him for the death of his mother in the delivery, and also that his father loves and prefers Hassam to him. In return, Amir feels a great respect for his father's best friend Rahim Khan, who supports his intention to become a writer. After Amir winning a competition of kitting, Hassam runs to bring a kite to Amir, but he is beaten and raped by the brutal Assef in an empty street to protect Amir's kite; the coward Amir witness the assault but does not help the loyal Hassam. On the day after his birthday party, Amir hides his new watch in Hassam's bed to frame the boy as a thief and force his father to fire Ali, releasing his conscience from recalling his cowardice and betrayal. In 1979, the Russians invade Afghanistan and Baba and Amir escape to Pakistan. In 1988, they have a simple life in Fremont, California, when Amir graduates in a public college for the pride and joy of Baba. Later Amir meets his countrywoman Soraya and they get married. In 2000, after the death of Baba, Amir is a famous novelist and receives a phone call from the terminal Rahim Khan, who discloses secrets about his family, forcing Amir to return to Peshawar, in Pakistan, in a journey of redemption.
2. SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE - The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.
3. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN - After stumbling across a case of money among dead bodies, Llewelyn Moss thinks he can keep it quiet, but when silent killer Anton Chigurh locates Moss and his money, Vietnam veteran Moss makes a run for it. With bodies falling everywhere Anton goes, it's only a matter of time before he catches up with Llewelyn. Whilst all this is going on, Sheriff Ed Tom Bell is overseeing the investigation and begins to see the country in a different light than it once was.
4. 10000 BC - A prehistoric epic that follows a young mammoth hunter named D'Leh's journey through uncharted territory to secure the future of his tribe. When a band of mysterious horse-riding warlords raid the Yaghal camp and kidnaps his heart's desire - the beautiful Evolet along with many others, D'Leh is forced to lead a small group of hunters south to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her. Driven by destiny, the unlikely band of warriors must battle saber-toothed cats and terror birds in the Levant.
5. MAMMA MIA! - Set on a colorful Greek island, the plot serves as a background for a wealth of great ABBA songs which are used in remarkably appropriate ways. A young woman about to be married discovers that any one of three men could be her father. She invites all three to the wedding without telling her mother, Donna, who was once the lead singer of Donna and the Dynamos. In the meantime, Donna has invited her backup singers, Rosie and Tanya.
6. OUTPOST - Outpost follows a crack team of battle-hardened mercenaries on a routine mission to protect a mysterious businessman through the no-man's land of war-torn Eastern Europe. However, after he leads them to a long forgotten, underground outpost, they unwittingly reawaken a lurking terror that soon changes their mission from one of safe-guarding, to one of survival, as they desperately battle an enemy even they've never faced before.
7. APPALOOSA - Two friends hired to police a small town that is suffering under the rule of a rancher find their job complicated by the arrival of a young widow.
8. VANTAGE POINT - President Ashton (William Hurt) is attending a global war on terror summit in Spain. Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox) are two of the Secret Service agents assigned to protect him. This is the first action that Agent Barnes has been in since he took a bullet for President Ashton six-month earlier. We really dont know if Agent Barnes is up to the challenge of protecting the President. Shortly after President Ashton is escorted to the stage in the plaza by the Secret Service, he is shot twice by a rifle from a window and falls to the floor. The crowd is in shock and chaos breaks out all over, especially when bombs begin to explode. Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker) is an American video-taping the event to show to his children that he was actually there at this historic event. He believes that he has the picture of the man who shot the President. Agent Barnes sees the tape and has a clue to that person. Several different people witness the event, and only through their eyes do we see the truth behind the assassination attempt.
9. STREET KINGS - Tom Ludlow is a veteran LAPD cop who finds life difficult to navigate after the death of his wife. When evidence implicates him in the execution of a fellow officer, he is forced to go up against the cop culture he's been a part of his entire career, ultimately leading him to question the loyalties of everyone around him.
10. EAGLE EYE - Jerry and Rachel are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations, using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move.

2009 here I come!
After that, just 4 months after a friend Joseph died in a motorcycle accident. I knew him from the day I first went to Delhi. He was waiting for us at the airport with David (my friend's cuz). Joseph was a stranger to me back then, but he is kinda funny, fat and love jokes so much. He carried my big suitcase and I still remember him having it on the lap at the front seat, congested and can't even reach for his phone. After we reach their place, we had conversations and he shared his funny experiences. After much laugh we sleep.
I get to know him better day by day. He had a big heart and understanding mind. He looks us as younger brothers, though he loves toys and computer games much more than we do. He likes cooking and he's a good cook. Everything was new for us and loves explaining them things.
He was also a motorcycle freak and he loves it a lot. When he had his new 'animal' (that's what he call it), he came to our place with some game dvds and that's the last time we see him. He never come back to collect his dvds, but then he answered his callings sooner than we can imagine. He's a great fan of Dream Theater; we use to talk about them a lot. He said, "I cried once when I was going home from Darjeeling listening to DT all the way to Guwahati." Well, Joseph this is for you…
Where did we come from?
If I die tomorrow,
The mean year doesn't stop here. It's almost the end of the year and we are all looking forward to the coming Christmas. One fine morning on November, my mom called me and told me that my cousin died. I was so shocked and I was speechless. Mom dropped the phone telling me she'll call back in the afternoon.
Yes, a cousin and a great friend Joseph Lalrammawia pass away leaving his wife and 3 little kids. I remember the Euro 2008 nights; the two of us use to watch together. We bet money on the teams and we were like the happiest friends to watch Euro.
We use to have late night-talks and always motivated me for what I'm doing and ask me lot about computers. He was a great rock music fan. He asked me once if I listen to Pink Floyd. Yes, some of them. "If you ever listen to Pink Floyd, listen it when you are alone. Their lyrics are so psychedelic and never do drugs while listening. Drink, if you want."
Needless to mention, my first ever guitar was a secondhand from him. It was an old 90s Hobner with rusted strings. Hand-made saddle and got a hole on the back. I was very happy but didn't know how to play it.
I still remember 2004 Christmas Eve, when we both took cameras out and we snap pictures at Coffee Nite. After then we went back to his room and drink Apple Wine together. What a night to remember, calling my parents that I was with him and no need to worry about. And I didn't know how all the pictures that we took was nowhere to be seen.
We use to play videogames together a lot; he was in college and I was in elementary. "Guard the hero and I will move forward" was the strategy we use to apply when playing Battle tanks. I always guard the hero.
I miss him so much. Rest In Peace.
Well, the cruel rude year just gone by. I hope this year will be a blessing, may nothing bad happens this year. Confidently… 2009 here I come.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The Federal Reserve Bank of New York bought $6.45 billion in Treasurys maturing between 2012 and 2103 on Tuesday, the first of two operations this week. Dealers offered $31.316 billion to be purchased. Traders expected the central bank to buy between $6 billion and $7 billion, in line with past purchases in this maturity range. The buyback is the latest in the central bank's attempts to keep a lid on borrowing costs, though mortgage rates have jumped significantly in the last few weeks in spite of the Fed's efforts. After the buyback, Treasurys stayed lower, pressured by better-than-expected inflation and housing starts data. Yields on benchmark 10-year notes TMUBMUSD10Y, +0.04%, which move inversely to prices, rose 3 basis points to 3.75%.

A laconic text logo that works well with the graphic environment of large DIY supermarkets, the company's current partners, was developed at the studio.
The clean text logo exists in several variants: typeset in two lines, in a single line, monochrome and even abbreviated. The short version works well on souvenirs while the monochrome versions look great in black and white advertising booklets.
The slant of the horizontal element of the letter Т makes it resemble the shape of a ceiling.
The composition made of three lines and planes that resembles a room with a ceiling is used as an additional element of the identity.
A sample interior can easily take place of one of the edges in printed advertising.
A detailed guide explains the main principles of using the logo and the identity.

We are what we eat
Not just the title of a TV show, but also amazingly true!
According to Arthritis Research UK, over 10 million people in the UK suffer with arthritis and over a third of the population over 50 experience arthritis related pain so what can we do to help ourselves?
In our small shop it's amazing how many people find their aches and pains worsen in the early summer – just when your tomatoes ripen in the greenhouse usually! Tomatoes, along with other members of the nightshade family, including peppers and potatoes, often aggravate the symptoms of arthritis and rheumatism. These acidic foods are often the culprit of additional discomfort, and whilst they're bursting with many great nutrients they simply don't like your stiff joints and are best avoided. Tea, fizzy drinks, citrus fruits and berries are all acidic too – for many, they're simply not worth the pain and inflammation they can cause.
There are many other simple approaches to improve your joints and ease aches and pains. Natural anti-inflammatory gels such as Atrogel by A. Vogel are great to ease the aches away, while Devil's Claw is a vicious sounding but gentle herbal approach to reducing inflammation.
For more information on lifestyle changes and natural remedies for healthy joints, call our helpline on 01603 613228 or contact us by email and our fully trained specialists will help you find the right products to suit your individual needs.

8 Million to One
It's been a minute since we've heard from Bordentown's Roy Orbitron. In 2016, Conor Meara-led project released the excellent Girls' Boyfriends. Meara surprise released that album in the middle of a lazy Sunday afternoon; and, true to form, today -- without much run-up or fanfare -- we get the release of the three-song 8 Million to One.
SRG Studios' Sean Glonek recorded, mixed, and mastered the EP; and, in addition to Meara (guitar, bass, vocals), this Roy Orbitron line-up features Noah Baum on violin, Patrick Meyer on drums, and Ruby The Hatchet's Sean Hur on Farfisa / synth.
The opener and title track features Roy Orbitron's familiar blend of Americana and rock with touches of Springsteen (with its references to "New York girls" and "learning your facts"). The synth gives the track bit of spaciness and lends a totally new dimension to "Shit-taker" and "Wet Panther (for Jessi Zazu)." The latter is an ultimately raucous tribute to the late co-founder of Nashville's Those Darlins. "I'll root for my heroes / And I'll be singing their songs at the top of my lungs."
Roy Orbitron explore some new sounds on 8 Million to One while retaining those elements -- unconventional song structures, Meara's lyrical style -- that make them unique among New Jersey bands. It all works, and it's good to hear from Roy Orbitron again.
8 Million to One is available now at Roy Orbitron's Bandcamp page and RoyOrbitron.org. It should be showing up soon on streaming services. You can pre-order physical copies via Bandcamp or GoFundMe. Anything pledged above the $20 / record price will go to support City of Angels NJ.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Deutsche Bank analysts lowered their profit estimates for J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, +1.49%, citing higher loan losses in 2009 and lower revenue than expected previously. "Worsening economic trends should put additional pressure on J.P. Morgan Chase's loan portfolios (especially cards, home equity, and residential and commercial mortgage) as well as the banking industry in general," they wrote in a research note Sunday. Deutsche Bank cut its earnings forecasts for 2009 and 2010, and lowered its target price on J.P. Morgan shares to $34 from $37.

Fire cupping
Fire cupping involves soaking a cotton ball in almost pure alcohol. The cotton is clamped by a pair of forceps and lit via match or lighter, and, in one motion, placed into the cup and quickly removed, while the cup is placed on the skin. Fire heats the inside of the cup and a small amount of suction is created by the air cooling down again and contracting. Massage oil may be applied to create a better seal as well as allow the cups to glide over muscle groups (e.g. trapezius, erectors, latisimus dorsi, etc.) in an act called "moving cupping". Dark circles may appear where the cups were placed because of rupture of the capillaries just under the skin. There are documented cases of burns caused by fire cupping.

He answered, "Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."
Matthew 19:4-6 (RSV)
The 2010 victory allowing ordination of practicing homosexuals was just the beginning. Over the years 2011, 2012 and 2013 over 500,000 existing members made the decision to exit the PCUSA. Obviously, their reasons varied. However, there is no doubt that a major motivation was loss of confidence in the denomination as a viable vehicle for the proclamation of a reformed, orthodox Christian understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. With the exit of so many that were in opposition to the PCUSA's direction, those in favor were empowered to push it forward further and faster.
Thus, at the 2014 General Assembly, the PCUSA approved same gender marriage. As reported by the denomination:
The Assembly approved sending out for presbytery approval a constitutional amendment to W-4.9001 of the PC(USA)'s Book of Order that would change the constitutional definition of marriage from "between a man and a woman" to "between two people, traditionally between a man and a woman."
The vote on the authoritative interpretation – which takes effect immediately – was 371-238 or 61 percent to 39 percent.
The vote on the proposed constitutional amendment – which goes to the denomination's 172 presbyteries for ratification – was 429-175 or 71 percent to 29 percent. A majority of the presbyteries must vote approval of the measure for it to take effect.
To supporters, this action was a long overdue victory for social justice and human dignity. That is, the traditional definition of marriage as only between one man and one woman was an affront to, and overt discrimination against, homosexuals.
To those in opposition the action was an explicit repudiation of God's Word and the Confessions. That is, the GA had elevated selected ideas from secular society above God's Word and our Confessions.
For many members this issue is vexing and confusing. They listen to the debates and hear what appear to be valid points on both sides. They believe in the ultimate authority of God's Word and desire an ever more just society. And, they are weary of the decades long debate over this set of cultural issues. Perhaps, some reason, the best path forward is simply to fall in line with the current cultural direction.
There is one element of this debate that in many cases may be decisive – that being the contention of same gender marriage supporters that, at worst, the Bible takes a broad view of marriage's definition, and, at best, clearly supports the extension of marriage to cover homosexual couples. Was this the case, the primary argument of those in opposition would be gravely compromised.
Therefore, the writers of the Overture Rationales supporting same gender marriage had a wonderful opportunity to not only advance their cause, but also to heal the wounds caused by this divisive debate. They had every advantage to make a powerful Biblical case – years of experience from debate and discussion, months of time to write the text, the resources of whole Presbyteries (pastors, elders and in some cases seminaries) and scholarship from around the world.
For those church members who were desperate to move on, a powerful Biblical case would cause many to accept this change. For those who were in determined opposition, some might decide to leave, but others might decide that there is enough justification to allow them to stay. The benefits were overwhelming.
Thus, the center of my analysis will be on how the Rationale writers in support of same gender marriage responded to this opportunity.
There is a final point that must be made absolutely clear. In the following posts I will be very critical of arguments in favor of same-gender marriage. I am in fellowship with Christian brothers and sisters who support same-gender marriage. I worship, explore God's Word and the Christian life, serve on church committees with them and generally enjoy their wisdom and encouragement. They lead activities in Christian mission and fellowship that leave me both humbled and invigorated.
Though we do not agree on this issue, I know that they listen to my point of view with respect and provide thoughtful responses. It would be a tragedy if my comments were misunderstood to be rejection of all who disagree with me on this particular issue.
No, those with whom I am contending have added a heavy dose of postmodern philosophy to their understanding of Christianity. I have previously identified this faction as "postmodern Christians" and it is to this party that my following criticisms primarily apply.
