Ganesh Chaturthi special: Kareena Kapoor,Bipasha Basu,Salman Khan – all set for a new beginning
As the Ganesh festival is all about new beginnings, we take a look at B-town actors who will give a much needed kickstart to certain areas of their lives, and we predict whether they will be successful in doing so…
The beginning is the most important part of anything. And that's what the Ganesh festival teaches us, no? It's almost half the work done if you somehow set the wheels of whatever you desire in motion. A lot of Bollywood actors have been seen paying heed to this principle this year. While some are unknowingly entering treacherous territory, there are also a few who want to take the plunge simply 'coz they feel right about it. Whatever the case may be, we wish every B-town actor who's geared up for a new start all the luck 'coz, trust us, some of them are in dire need of that for the future…

Nick Langewis According to documents obtained by PageOneQ, a series of senior Democratic National Committee officials have agreed to be deposed in an ongoing discrimination lawsuit by former LGBT outreach director Donald Hitchcock. Those to provide sworn testimony include chairman Howard Dean, openly gay treasurer Andy Tobias, and Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council executive Director Brian Bond. The suit charges that a campaign of infighting, discrimination and retaliation led to the illegal firing of Hitchcock after his partner, former Clinton appointee Paul Yandura, criticized the Party for what he claimed was a lack of support for LGBT causes, especially on the issue of defeating anti-gay ballot measures. Hitchcock was fired less than a week after Yandura's criticisms became public. According to Hitchcock, the Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council, of which he became the director in June of 2005, was created specifically to raise funds from LGBT supporters. The Party, he says, had no interest in being politically involved in LGBT issues otherwise. The lawsuit charges that Hitchcock was paid less than his counterparts in comparable positions, while never receiving staff support or a budget. According to FEC records, his bi-weekly pay was $2,156, while the other directors were paid $2,508. The suit also says that Hitchcock, before his firing, was held personally responsible by Ms. Tagen for, and threatened over, Mr. Yandura's statements about the Democratic Party. Dean, Tobias and Tagen, Hitchcock charges, began spreading rumors within the Party in an attempt to discredit him, he claimed. "The DNC does not comment on pending litigation," DNC General Counsel Joe Sandler said this morning. Hitchcock's suit called for monetary damages, leaving the amount to be determined by a jury, along with the retraction of public statements made by Dean and Tobias directly related to his firing over supposedly poor job performance. Brian Bond, the executive director of the Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council of the DNC, along with and the Council's board chair, Claire Lucas, were issued subpoenas at the DNC Winter Meeting last month, and are on the of those who have agreed to voluntarily be deposed. "I look forward shining light on the facts and discussing under oath the circumstances of my employment and unfair termination from the DNC," Hitchcock told PageOneQ. "The community has already seen and felt the prioritizing of raising money from our community by the DNC, and now they will be exposed to the hard undeniable facts about the party's disservice to the LGBT community via the discovery process." Testimony will be given between January 7 and February 28. The case's Discovery Plan and a complete list of those to testify to give statements follows. PageOneQ will be obtaining additional documents related to this suit... Brian Bond, Executive Director, Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council

Im making a 'roadmap' and trying to get things together. I graduate in this year than im off to college.
So im going to olivet naz. university for pre-med. also doing the ROTC program. "Roaring Tigers Battalion"
after than (assuming i get it) i'll request a "ed-delay & go strieght to med school.
now upon graduating med school i'll have to serve 12 years.
Will i be doing my internship in the army? What exactly are they going to let me do?
Thank you, i need all the help i can get. I need to know
I don't even think it's a requirement to go through ROTC if you're planning on going to Med School. Every Army doc that I ever knew was direct-commissioned.
Those going through ROTC are commissioned at the same time they receive their bachelors degree. I'm not sure what would happen if you planned on going to Med School as a Commissioned Officer at that time. What might be a possibility is that you would go to Med School while on active duty as a 2LT. I really don't know. I'm sorry.
I suggest that you contact the ROTC liaison at the college you'll attend & have it all clarified for you. That failing contact the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) & ask them. There might even be a program available for you.

Health care law rules and benefits detailed
WASHINGTON The Obama administration reaffirmed key requirements of the new health care law Tuesday, setting out how insurance companies will cover nearly all Americans, even if they are already ill, and provide plans with minimum benefits.
Consumer advocates, insurers and business groups were looking for signs the administration might try to modify some of the law's requirements as the federal government races to implement the legislation by the end of next year.
But the proposed rules issued Tuesday hew closely to the Affordable Care Act the president signed in 2010. At the same time, administration officials restated their commitment to move rapidly ahead, despite continued resistance from some Republican governors.
"What this means is that beginning in October next year, families and small-business owners everywhere will be able to shop for affordable, quality health coverage," Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius said. "Entrepreneurs won't have to give up their chance at affordable health coverage to start a new business."
Under the law, Americans who are not covered through work will be able to comparison shop for health insurance in online markets, also known as exchanges, designed to mimic the shopping experience of popular travel sites.
These exchanges will be run by state governments, except in states that elect to leave the job to the federal government or to partner with Washington.
More than 15 states, mostly with GOP governors, have said they will not operate an exchange. Some governors have complained the federal government has put too many requirements on the exchanges.
Insurance companies will be prohibited from denying coverage to sick Americans. They will no longer be able to charge more to women or people with medical conditions.
And for the first time, insurers will have to cover a 10 basic benefits, including hospitalizations, emergency care, newborn and maternity care, and prescription drugs.
The Obama administration has allowed each state to detail this set of benefits, allowing for some variations of drugs that might be covered, for example.
That worries consumer advocates who would like to see a national standard for health insurance. "By leaving the decision up to the states of which drugs insurance plans must cover, we fear many patients, particularly those with complex medical conditions, may not have the coverage they need," said Carl Schmid, deputy executive director of the AIDS Institute.
But several consumer groups, including AARP, which represents retirees, applauded the administration for retaining key protections in the law, including a requirement that insurers charge elderly consumers no more than three times as much as they charge young customers.
Insurers had pushed for more leeway to vary rates based on age, arguing that it is necessary to keep premiums affordable for younger, healthier people.

What do you mean by heat color?
Color temperature is a characteristic of light that is sometimes misunderstood as brightness, when it's more closely related to cool and warm color tones of light. While cool and warm are words used to describe a light's temperature, it is not how it gets its name. The term temperature when referring to light comes from the idea that there is a black body object that absorbs all wavelengths of light. This theoretical object that you can't physically see is what generates light when it is heated. The black body becomes exited and begins to essentially expel light radially. As the temperature reaches around 1000 degrees Kelvin (a measurement scale invented by Lord Kelvin) the black body becomes visible in the red end of the light spectrum. As it's heated the light color changes towards the cooler tones. So the term color temperature refers to the color that is associated with the amount of heat needed to produce a color. These cooler tones emit a brighter light that is very useful when making automotive headlights because it increases visibility and thus safety.

Books about abuse are really hard to write (or so I would imagine) without coming off sounding preachy or too "after-school-special." Beth Fehlbaum's new young adult novel, Courage in Patience: A Story for Those Who Have Endured Abuse, is one that achieves the goal of a thought-provoking, interesting plot, deep characters, and a good message, with only a tad bit of the after-school-special feel. Not too bad!
Ashley Asher (yeah, she knows alll about her name), is a 15 year old girl living in small Texas town, that has been forced to live through years of abuse, emotional, physical, and sexual, at the hands of her stepfather. When she finally takes the step to confide in someone...her mother... Ashley is met with a woman that turns her back on her daughter, chosing husband over the child she gave birth to.
Devastated and haunted, Ashley moves in with her birth father and his wife, an English teacher, who attempts to help Ashley heal and work through the pain her step-dad and mother left with her. Though she finds it difficult to trust her dad, suffering from her trauma deep down inside, Ashley slowly begins to make an honest attempt at learning to live without fear.
Courage in Patience is emotionally draining to say the least, but probably a good place to start for teens that are have never read a fictional account of abuse before. It's not graphic, but rather relies more on the emotional end to tell the story.
A part in the plot that I felt was probably...hmm...I don't know, "irrelevant" was when Ashley's stepmother, Bev, chooses a controversial book for the summer reading selection, which sets off a huge cloud of issues within the small, religious town. That could have been a good plot in itself, but I kinda felt it was unnecessary with Ashley's story. Maybe that opinion is just my own!
The dialogue was believable and the story, if not heartbreaking, was realistic. A good read overall.

Thanks for the review, Amanda. The purpose of the other problems in the book was so that Ashley could see examples of people facing their problems and living in the light of the truth, even when it's a very ugly thing to see. This makes Courage in Patience not so much a book that is "just" about abuse, but fundamentally about Courage. :)

He grew up to expand his parent's sauce business, Jack's Old South, and in the process became the leader of the winningest team in competitive barbecue. It's Mixon's combination of killer instinct and killer recipes that has led him to three world championships and more than 180 grand championships and made him the breakout star of TLC's BBQ Pitmasters.
Now, for the first time, Mixon's stepping out from behind his rig to teach you how he does it. Rule number one: People always try to overthink barbecue and make it complicated. Don't do it! Mixon will show you how you can apply his "keep it simple" mantra in your own backyard. He'll take you to the front lines of barbecue and teach you how to turn out 'cue like a seasoned pro. You'll learn to cook like Mixon does when he's on the road competing and when he's at home, with great tips on
• the basics, from choosing the right wood to getting the best smoker or grill
• the formulas for the marinades, rubs, injections, and sauces you'll need
• the perfect ways to cook up hog, ribs, brisket, and chicken, including Mixon's famous Cupcake Chicken
About The Author:

His parents started selling Jack's Old South Barbecue Sauce, after his father died in 1996, Myron thought that by entering competitions he could sell some sauce. He was hooked. He has appeared on the Today show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

Last year we watched a couple of AAAFF films, and this year I'm getting more involved by volunteering for a couple of the screenings as well as watching a couple of them. We are seeing Persepolis, which is a free outdoor screening at the Mexican American Cultural Center. Several local Asian restaurants will be selling food at the event. We're also planning to see Li Tong at Alamo South Lamar (many of the screenings are at Alamo South or at UT). Both look really good, as do most of the movies this year! Tickets for individual shows are only $8, and all access badges are $50. The badge is a great deal considering that it gets you entry to every film as well as all after parties with free food & drink.

Beer Festival 2009
Now here is a great new tradition that I hope will stick around. This year's beer festival drew tons of people to sample beers from all over. There were lines at every booth, but they move pretty quickly when you've got a drink in your hand. You get to keep the tasting glass... but I'm not sure exactly what to do with a glass that's too big for a shot and too small for a regular beer. Triple shot?
Stay tuned for next fall's beer festival...

Inner Space Cavern
Inner Space Cavern is up in Georgetown, TX, and I recommend the drive. It's hot this summer and the caverns are cool year round. Tours depart every 30 minutes, and you get to see many interesting formations and learn all about the place. They even give you a few seconds of pitch black in one area of the caverns, which is something you don't experience often. See their website for more info about tours and prices.

Urban Music Festival
This year the Urban Music Festival was on April 4th at Auditorium Shores. Honestly, I don't know how many years this festival has been going on.. all I know is it had a pretty amazing lineup with several blasts from the past. The Sugar Hill Gang, Boyz II Men and Cameo headlined. Check the website next spring to find out when the next festival will be and the lineup.

Walnut Creek Park
This park is in north Austin, and is a nice place to do some walking or biking. If you're walking though, watch out for the bikers who come through pretty fast on the trails. Of course we have no sense of direction so always end up lost for a while whenever we go walking in a park like this. If you get lost easily too, you might want to bring some breadcrumbs to mark your trail.

I'm sure you all already know about SXSW.. it's kind of hard to miss. Either you dived in and enjoyed all of the live music, or you got the heck out of town to avoid the massive hordes of people that descend upon Austin during this week. There are wristbands for sale every year for local Austinites to purchase, there are also many free shows going on for those of us who don't want to spend any money. Red Gorilla is one example of a free series of shows that goes on during SXSW.

Kite Festival
We've been neglecting this blog for a while, but now we're back! On Sunday we stopped by the annual Austin Kite Festival at Zilker Park. This festival is held every year on the first Sunday in March. Basically everyone hits the park with a kite, and there are also a few contests and such. You don't have to fly a kite, though- you can just go and watch. It's great to look up and see the sky filled with kites.

Capital City Comedy Club
Cap City Comedy Club attracts some pretty awesome comedians to Austin. Some big names that have recently graced Cap City with their presence are D.L. Hughley and Joe Rogan. We came to the club to see Mike MacRae of FrankTV. The show was hilarious, we laughed through the entire thing. The two comedians who opened for MacRae were also surprisingly really good, we enjoyed then almost as much as MacRae. One was a guy who worked for Cap City, the other was Paul Oddo. The club has a 2 menu item minimum. The food is pretty blah, so we recommend sticking with 2 drinks.

South Congress
The best place to go for a stroll and window shop in Austin is South Congress. All of the shops are unique, funky and interesting. You can also take a break and pick up coffee, ice cream, a cupcake or a bite to eat at numerous restaurants & shops. Anytime the weather is nice you'll also find vendors selling jewelry, artwork or other handmade goods at outdoor stalls. Any day that you want to get out but don't know what to do, So Co is a foolproof plan. Don't forget to check out First Thursday (the first Thursday evening of every month) on South Congress, which we'll blog about soon.. the street comes alive with vendors & performers, and all the stores stay open late.

Playing Tennis in Austin
Okay, the tennis court pictured above isn't actually in Austin.
We've been trying to be more active lately, especially since most of what we do during the week consists of sitting on our asses. Winter in Texas is the best time to get really active- when it's in the 50s or 60s during the day you can run around all you want and not get totally drenched in sweat. We picked up some cheap racquets and balls at Target and scoped out the awesome tennis court map on the Capital Area Tennis Association website. Write down the addresses of at least 2 or 3 open public courts in your neighborhood, cause the first one we tried was locked on the weekend.

Harry Ransom Center
The Ransom Center has the most unique & rare exhibits in all of Austin. They've got a copy of the Gutenberg Bible, only 5 complete copies exist in the U.S. They also have the world's first photograph. Other items of note include drawings or sketches by Cezanne, Picasso, and other famous artists. My favorite was a self-portrait of Picasso on the inside of a book cover, it was a simple face drawn in primary colors.

Barsana Dham
Barsana Dham is a Hindu Temple about 30 minutes outside of Austin. It's a beautiful, peaceful spot, and visitors are welcome, as long as you check their website for their specific visiting hours, and don't wear shoes or take photos inside the building.

Following the success of its previous two editions, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), Vogue magazine, and NYC & Company have announced the third edition of Fashion's Night Out.
Billed by organizers as the "biggest shopping event of the year," Fashion's Night Out will descend upon Manhattan once again on September 8, 2011 - the first day of the Spring 2012 shows in New York.
This past September, designers, celebrities, models and fashion editors participated in one-of-a-kind public shopping events held for one day only in some 800 stores across New York's five boroughs. For instance, Daphne Guinness signed perfume bottles on the beauty floor of Barney's New York, Ric Pipino styled hair at Henri Bendel's, Thom Browne signed his signature oxfords at Bergdorf Goodman, and Sean "Diddy" Combs made a guest appearance at his Sean Jean shop at Macy's Herald Square.
Additionally, to promote Fashion's Night Out, Vogue and SPEC Entertainment held a public fashion show at Lincoln Center, which featured more than 150 top models including Daria Werbowy and Chanel Iman.
Though the Big Apple gets most of the action on Fashion's Night Out, the shopping event is actually a global one and is celebrated in cities around the world including Los Angeles, Tokyo, London, Paris and Sydney.
Stores interested in participating in Fashion's Night Out 2011 can start registering at fashionsnightout.com to receive information, become FNO Facebook fans, or follow the Twitter feed at twitter.com/fnonyc.

DC Super Heroes series
Pages: 51
Ages: 8+
Finished: Feb. 4, 2011
First Published: Aug. 2010
Publisher: Stone Arch Books
Genre: children, action, superheroes
Rating: 3/5
First sentence:
Tim Drake stepped out of a limousine in front of the Gotham City Cinema.
Acquired: Received a review copy from Stone Arch Books.
Reason for Reading: This book is too hard for my ds to read on his own and will be read aloud by dh as a bedtime book. But I like my superheroes too and wasn't going to miss out on the fun!
Bruce Wayne and Tim Drake go to the premiere of a new 3D Alice in Wonderland movie. Due to unforeseeable circumstances Bruce looses his pair of glasses and can't get another pair. Which is fortunate for him! Because the Mad Hatter has fitted the glasses with a device to brainwash all the wearers to do his bidding and that night at midnight there is a rush of jewelry store robberies. When Batman gets ready to answer the call, Robin is nowhere to be found and the Batcycle is missing!
A fun book and story. Written and illustrated by comic industry professionals, the story and characters all have an authentic feel. Each chapter has at least one full page illustration, some even have two, the pages of pure text are broken up for the reader by using comic book style graphics, in colour, for all the sound effect words. This nicely breaks up a two page spread of text which may otherwise seem daunting to reluctant readers. Lots of fun. Batman has always been my favourite DC hero.

On-line Book ReviewYO TOMITA |
Dürrs primary task is to spell out a very complex array of musicological problems addressed by Arthur Mendel (NBA II/4, Kritischer Bericht, 1974) for a more general readership while at the same time highlighting the issues not properly addressed by him.
For a small group of scholars who are looking for new information, this
book may be a disappointment, as it does not reflect the most up-to-date
scholarship: it is a straightforward translation of the original published
in German in 1988. Yet for the majority of readers, it will be an excellent
reading, providing scholarly-flavoured guide for this major choral work.
You will discover herein a fascinating series of episodes of the works
unique compositional history. You will also gain some insight into this
type of musicological research that uncovers the forgotten truths and values
that are otherwise forever hidden.

Of course, nothing in this world is hotter than a pop music radio station Hot Summer Jam. It's hotter than the sun if you listen to the promos. While the radio deejay hype may be a bit much, we have never been able to get enough of the Mariah Carey cleavage flashes she's been famous for through the years.
While the Mariah body has to be a bit more carefully packaged these days, the girl can still most definitely bring out her girls for special events, such at the Hot 97 Summer Jam in Jersey, where the diva gave a healthy dose of her cans to the heavily teen audience. Why buy 'em if you're not going to flaunt 'em? Enjoy.

Here's what I know about Total War: Rome 2. It's this strategy game, where you play as… the Romans? And they're really angry about something – I bet Caecilius cheated on Metella again, in the horto. So rather than just a regular war, that they have all the time, this time it's a TOTAL WAR. But for the second time, because the last one didn't quite take. The game features Romans, horses, and probably statistics. And armies! You can see four new screenshots of such matters below.
That's what happens when I'm left alone to write news. Click on the pics to see them biggerised.
The game has a loose release date of Autumn next year.

The victory by names in the Rose Thomson Young syndicate (RTY), which lost heavily on the Piper Alpha oil rig disaster and Hurricane Hugo, follows hard on the heels of previous judgments against several other managing agents of Lloyd's syndicates, including Gooda Walker, Feltrim, Merrett and Pulbrook.
Only two months ago the Feltrim names were awarded an interim settlement of pounds 175m. RTY names now stand to recoup up to 70 per cent of the accumulated pounds 450m of losses run up over several years in their syndicate.
Lloyd's is facing legal action from almost 14,000 of its 34,000 investors, and is desperately trying to refinance to erase the pounds 8bn of losses which have been suffered by the market over the five years to 1992.
The RTY judgment will bring great relief to several high profile names that each stood to lose hundreds of thousands of pounds. They include Ian Lang, President of the Board of Trade, who is believed to have lost pounds 800,000 in the crash of RTY. Sir Richard Body, another Tory MP and a prime mover in the case brought by the RTY action group, claimed that the judgment was a "notable victory".
Judge Thomson Young said yesterday in his 179-page judgment that the conduct of Norman Bullen, underwriter for RTY, "fell below the standards to be expected of any underwriter who specialised in this market".
He added that the managing agents of RTY were "not only liable, vicariously, for the acts and defaults of Mr Bullen but they were also in breach of duty as managing agents".
The RTY action group sued the syndicate and 42 members' agents for negligence on behalf of 1,092 investors, whose probable individual losses for a pounds 40,000 share in the business were put at up to pounds 164,000 for 1988 and as much as pounds 282,000 for 1989.
Ian Chalk, chairman of the action group, said yesterday: "We are delighted that we appear to have won conclusively on the main issues after a three- year battle. The judge made it quite clear that it was totally unsatisfactory for an incompetent underwriter to expose his names to massive amounts of risk of loss."
The judgment has come at a bad time for the insurance market, which is trying to persuade investors to accept a pounds 2.8bn settlement package, which would entitle them to quit the market free from possible further liabilities.
Names have the opportunity to dissociate themselves from future claims by paying a maximum pounds 100,000 on top of their original investment deposit lodged at Lloyd's.
One of the main planks of the refinancing is the aim by Lloyd's to divide into two. Problem policies sold before 1993 will be spun off into a new company known as Equitas. This would have to take on massive liabilities related to pollution and asbestos in the US. But setting up Equitas needs approval of the names, who want more money to be put on the table.
The RTY action group said that its legal victory had strengthened the case for an improved payout. A spokesman added: "Our belief is that this judgment should substantially reinforce the fact that if the Lloyd's Equitas project is to succeed, there must be a substantial revision in the contribution offered by the E&0 [errors and omissions] underwriters, which should include a cash payment to our names."

When I worked for TWA way back once upon a time, I was working the lost baggage office and Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor strolled in as we had managed to mis-send their luggage to god-knows-where. They sat in the office for quite some time while we traced and located it. I think Richard had been in the scotch a bit, but nice and Elizabeth Taylor---well need I say more--- both very friendly and willing to carry on a normal conversation during their "visit".

There's a guy in the airforce based at Lossiemouth, near where I live, who looks the spit of Kevin McKidd who was Tommy in Trainspotting and has been in Grays Anatomy and some other stuff.
When a bit tipsy I used to think it was amusing to go up to him in the local nightclub in Elgin and pretend to be a groupie "You're that bloke out of Trainspotting, Giz yer autograph" etc. Hilarious eh? Anyway, this one time... he found it even less amusing than usual, probably because it was actually Kevin McKidd, whom I was not aware comes from Elgin originally. Doh!
I also met Robin Williams when he was filming the Bill Forsyth film, 'Being Human' up Glen Nevis in the mid 90s. He was very gracious and signed my paper video cover insert for 'The Dead Poets Society' with "Carpe Diem, Robin Williams"

Shock! Niigaki Risa Graduation?!
January 2nd in Japan, on the one year anniversary of 9th generation members joining Morning Musume, it has been announced that leader Niigaki Risa will be graduating from Hello!Project and Morning Musume at the end of their spring 2012 tour Ultra Smart.
12 comments:
I've had this suspicion of Gaki-san graduating since Ai-chan's graduation. So, this was not much of a shock to me but still, I felt so unprepared to face reality. I think Sayumin is not far from graduating either. I'd be surprise if Reina graduated before Sayumin.
I don't think my heart can handle these graduations anymore. ;A; Ai-chan, Yuukarin, Sakichii... *sighs*- AnonymousJanuary 2, 2012 at 12:27 PM
Im not surprised Gaki-san has announced her graduation, she has been in the group for over 10 years and is one of the oldest members so i think it is pretty reasonable.
I doubt Saki will graduate any time soon though as she is taking over leadership of Hello!Project and i don't think Tsunku would have moved the leadership out of Momusu is Saki was planning on graduating. It was a bit shocking when I checked the Twitter feeds this afternoon. I also expected her to remain leader & graduate this Fall. Spring is too soon. With the last of my beloved Gokkies leaving it'll be hard to be AS thrilled about MM. It's hard to imagine Sayu as leader, but I won't have to wait long huh? At this rate Aika-chan will be leader by 2013 being the only ture veteran left! WoW!
Another generation will be needed if the vocals aren't there & if Iikubo Haruna can't adapt / catch up. How many of us want Sara from the 10th gen. auditions now eh? *raises hand*.- AnonymousJanuary 5, 2012 at 6:34 PM
When I saw how many new members were introduced at Ai-chan's graduation, I knew it was just a matter of time before the four seniors would leave. MM works best with 8 or 9 members. Eleven/twelve is too many. Still, I am shocked Gaki-san is leaving so fast. *heavy sigh* When Riena & Sayu leave.... I will most likely stop following MM. Dream MM, here I come.
ReplyDelete - AnonymousJanuary 7, 2012 at 5:01 AM
Okay, Maybe you are right about the numbers. I love to watch the large concert productions from the Golden Era. Maybe you will be right about Dream MM, too. That is too bad. For years I have listened to disgruntled fans bitching about how so many talented girls left MM and blaming Tsunku for it. Now the girls of the Golden Era are back together, and there is little fan support for them. How fickle can the fans be?!
ReplyDelete Fans will always be fickle and butthurt about everything. Most fans got TOO comfortable with the lineup when Koha/Ai/Eri/Lin/Jun were still around. People kinda forgot about graduations and were really put off by it. That's why so many people keep complaining and saying things like "oh I hate 10th gen i'm not gonna be an MM fan anymore" and things like that -__-;

Steamboy returns to the Ken April 1
Midnight Saturday and Sunday morning screenings
Scott Marks noon, March 28
In the midst of the Ocean of Nectar, where covered with groves of heavenly wishing trees is the Isle of Gems, in the mansion of wishing jewels with its grove of nipa trees, on a couch composed of Siva and the other gods, your seat a mattress which is Supreme Siva — some few lucky ones worship you [Devi, Supreme Female Deity], a flood of consciousness and bliss…. With streams of nectar flowing from between your feet sprinkling the universe, recreating through the power of reciting the sacred texts that produce the six circles, again you reach your own abode and into the form of a serpent in three and a half coils you convert yourself and sleep in the kulakunda hollow. — from The Saundarya Lahari (trans. W. Norman Brown).
The Saundarya Lahari or "Waves of Beauty," is a Hindu literary work considered to be part of the tantric (contemplative) literature of Hinduism. Believed by many to have been written by famous Indian philosopher Adi Shankara (circa 789 A.D.), The Saundarya Lahari contains 103 verses that serve as a paean to the beauty, grace, and perfection of Devi, or Parvati, the divine goddess and consort of Shiva, a supreme being in Hindu mythology. As a tantra, the work also instructs the faithful about religious customs and devotions.

Seems Bonnie Wright, known to us for portraying Ginny Weasley—the plucky young witch who eventually wins Harry Potter's heart in the movie franchise—hit the catwalk recently sporting a look by Brit designer Katie Eary. Seems that not only is the flame-haired Ms. Wright a regular editorial poser for English glossies—as celebs tend to be—but has recently signed on to NEXT Models. However, these shots are… well… we don't know what they are. We put it to you, the reader, does Bonnie cast a spell on the catwalk, or does she fizzle like a bad experiment in Potions Class?

- 2 machine screws
- 5/8" wrench
Tools needed
- pencil
- 1/16" drill bit
- #2 Phillips screwdriver

Note: If mounting this sconce to a wall surface material other than drywall, alternative hardware might be necessary. Consult a professional if you have any questions regarding proper installation.
- Hold the mounting plate to your wall in the desired location. Use a level to ensure the mounting plate is vertical. Then use a pencil to mark your wall through the two screw holes on the mounting plate.
- With a power drill, use a 1/16" drill bit to drill pilot holes at your marks. Then use a screwdriver or power drill to screw the wall anchors into your predrilled holes. Be sure to drill the anchors in fully so they are flush with the wall before continuing to the next step.

Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, insert the machine screws through the mounting plate and into the wall anchors. (Figure 1) Tighten the screws fully until the mounting plate is flush and firmly mounted to the wall.
- Slide the Chronicle wall sconce assembly downward over the mounting plate. The protruding cleat of the mounting plate should lock into the vertical slot at the back of the sconce assembly. (Figure 2)
- Use a 5/8" wrench to adjust the tension of the lamp head if necessary. Consider placing a fabric cloth between your lamp and the wrench to protect its finish. (Figure 3)

We feel very fortunate this year to have already welcomed back many returning clients, and today was such a day. Rab and Jan had spent a couple of days with us last year and had returned this year with a friend to discover the bird life of one of our wetland reserves. They drove up from the Costa Blanca and met us close to Valencia, from where we made the short drive to the reserve. After a morning coffee by the beach, looking out onto a very calm Mediterranean, we began our walk through the reserve. This was to be [read more]
2-Day Bird Watching Trip from Valencia
I recently provided a 2-day bird watching trip from Valencia for an experienced birder from UK. Colin wanted to discover the birdlife of the region, but only had two available days. So, we designed a trip that would maximise his time and enjoyment. Day 1 – Albufera Natural Park After a brief coffee stop, we visited a number of natural reserves, where we had great views of Booted Eagle, Flamingos, Purple Swamphen, Spoonbill, Whiskered Tern and a huge diversity of waders. Albufera is an excellent site for waders in autumn. After an interesting drive through the rice paddies where we had [read more]
Guided Birdwatching Trip to Albufera de Valencia
Last Thursday I was delighted to provide a guided bird watching trip to Albufera de Valencia for two experienced birders from England. They wanted to discover the birdlife of what is one of the most important wetlands in Spain. After I collected them from their hotel, we drove to the first stop in one of the main reserves of the natural park, where we had lovely views of hundreds Flamingos, a beautiful Booted Eagle, Black-winged Stilt, Little Stint, Gadwall and lots more waders and waterfowl. The next stop was in a restricted reserve and green filter area, where the habitat and [read more]
Guided birding trip to the wetlands of Valencia
Last week, I had the pleasure of providing a guided birding trip to the wetlands of Valencia for a very experienced birder from the UK. She wanted to combine a short break in this magical Mediterranean city with a day of birding in the local coastal marshes and lagoons. After the short drive from the city centre, before we began to explore the coastal lagoons and surrounding reed beds, we stopped in a farming area where we spotted two lovely Hoopoes, a Little Owl and a Barn Owl. Once inside of the reserve, one of the highlights of the first [read more]
An amazing day at Valencia´s wetlands.
Last week, I was especially delighted to welcome back returning clients Steve, Melanie and their son Adam. We provided a day of guided birding for them at Albufera de Valencia last winter, and had discussed the options for a Spring trip. Their timing was perfect as many summer visitors were either passing through or had already settled in readiness to breed. The coastal wetlands of Valencia are spectacular in Spring, and today was to prove amazing. Numbers aren´t everything, but by the end of the day, we´d totalled over 70 species. Little Ringed Plover Our day began with a walk [read more]
7 Day Guided Birding Trip – Day 2 (Mountains & High Forest)
Day 2 – Mountains & High Forest. Following yesterday´s long day and many hours of travelling for our clients, we designed the second day such that there would be very little time spent in the car. Within a very short drive of Banyeres de Mariola are some wonderful high forested hills and rocky peaks. They were to be our chosen habitats for today. At over 1000 metres above sea level, the high forests of the region have beautifully clean air and provide habitat for some very special birds. Strangely enough, in this area you´re more likely to see a Crested [read more]
Steppe birds of Spain
Earlier this week, Yanina and I were delighted to provide a day of guided birding for a couple of returning clients from UK.

After the usual coffee stop and chat about the target species, we headed for the vast plains of this harsh but beautiful region. There was a cool wind blowing, but we´d come prepared for the cold so [read more]
Birding holiday in Valencia
This is one of a series of 4 reports that cover a 4-day birding holiday in Valencia that we recently designed and provided for a client from London, UK.

He opted to stay in Valencia city, but we put together a plan that included guided birding trips to diverse habitats including steppe, forest, mountains, coast and wetlands. This report covers "Day 1" which was a day on the [read more]

Birding on the Steppe of Spain
Last week, Dave and I enjoyed a fantastic day with a couple of returning clients from UK. They had a trip with us in the Spring, when we enjoyed a day in the mountains of Valencia. This time, they were keen to have a day of guided birding on the steppe of Spain. It was a pleasure to see Jan & Ossie again, and to catch up on our respective conservation projects, particularly with owls. After a chat over morning coffee, we made the relatively short journey into the rolling plains of Castilla de la Mancha. One of our main [read more]
Bird watching trip to Albufera de Valencia
Earlier this month I enjoyed a super day´s birding with a couple of clients from UK. Brian and Sally are keen nature lovers and experienced birders, and were spending a few days in Valencia.

After I´d collected them from their apartment in central Valencia, we made the short journey to Albufera where our first stop was in a protected reserve area.

Bird Photography in Valencia
Last week, I had the pleasure of providing a birding break in Valencia for a client from Cambridge, England.

Birding trip to l´Albufera of Valencia Natural Park
Last Wednesday I had the pleasure of providing a birding trip to l´Albufera of Valencia Natural Park for two clients from Switzerland. They are experience birders and they wanted to see and photograph the classic species of the Valencian wetlands. They were staying in the southern region of the Valencian Community, so we opted to meet at Cullera lighthouse, a popular sea-watching spot. We then made the short road trip through an orchard region and on to the first stop which was at a protected reserve and green filter area. A little patience was rewarded with views of several [read more]
Bird watching in Albufera
I´ve just returned home from a day of guided bird watching in Albufera de Valencia with a couple who were on a Mediterranean cruise.

I believe that there is a glue specifically for that rubber moulding. I think Dennis Carpenter or Bob Drake sells it. I have heard they are not easy to install. I would use a fine toothed trowel to spread the glue if I were to use the urethane so as not to get any lumps that would be hard to push out. (I laid linoleum for 12 years, pushing excess glue out from under a non porous material is less than fun.)
Hope this helps mikey
my signature lines...not really directed at anyone in particular.. BE different....ACT normal. No one is completely useless..They can always be used as a bad example |
I was thinking about a moulding for some reason, like there was a space in the running board and a moulding got installed. If I understand it now you are installing some rubber on top for the step, anti slip surface, right? wrong?. If the manufacturer has some type of glue they tell you to use, maybe you should use that. Windshield urethane if fairly thick and it would be hard to get a smooth surface if it were fairly thin material. But if you put on a moulding with urethane and its clean, that sucker ain't coming off anytime soon.
drake no longer ships it . a good rubber contact cement is what you need. be sure to clean the rubber good. i brush it with a wire brush to give it some teeth.
I used plain old contact cement from my local Ace Hardware for my '32 pickup. The only special preparation I did was to lay the rubber down and then put masking tape around to define the edges and protect the paint from any overlay of the the cement (I feared it might be a problem to remove). I then just wiped down the back side of the rubber and the running board, applied the cement to both surfaces and used a series of dowels laid on the running board to prevent premature contact (if you've never used contact cement be aware that there is NO room for error - once the two surfaces come in contact they are going to stick like crazy.)
I did this two years (15,000 miles) ago and there has been absolutely no peel up or release of the rubber. (I'll be glad do shoot a pic of how they look now if that would be helpful.) Dewey

i'm working on my running boards now and they have 1/8" holes drilled in a grid pattern about every 3"...i wonder if this is a factory set up to help hold glue???
A little bit late
I went thru the same dilemma so I called LeBarron Bonney, Mac's and a couple of others as to what they use. Turns out that as stated above, good old style FLAMMABLE contact cement like you can get at the blue or orange box stores. Just make sure it is the FLAMMABLE, and more expensive stuff. The non-flammable stuff will not work.
Word of caution tho, one good coat on both the rubber and the running board will do it - the cement will lift in patches if you try to put on more. Scuffing both surfaces with ScotchBrite wont hurt either. Use a cheap 3-4" foam throw away roller to put it on evenly plus gloves unless you like wearing contact cement and the dirt it picks up for a week or so !!! You only have one shot to align it - so get it right

Putting rubber on running boards
Does using glue to attach rubber to running boards work well. I have heard there can be problems.
Since you revived this old thread, here's a quick update on my post from back in 2006 (see above). It is now eleven YEARS, a gazillian wash jobs, far too many rains, a few snow storms, a a whole ton of abuse later and the rubber on my running board, held in place with plain old Ace hardware contact cement, is still holding without a single frayed edge or bubble. As I warned above, however, I would keep the cement off of any paint that is going to be left exposed. I think there is a chance it might discolor some surfaces.
Thank you so much for the quick reply, that answers my question. The guys I am talking to up here say it won't work but I know they are wrong. They said find running boards that have the rubber galvanized on
Yep, same with my '31 but hasn't had quite the 'hard life' as cboy's.
(OMG - this thread and my response is almost 10 years old!!!!!! And I still have the car!!!!!!!!!) Dave W

I use linoleum in my antique cars and use the contact cement made for linoleum. |

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 23, 1912:
- "It was great! The Farmers' Picnic at Woodland Park yesterday was a big success. The weather was fine and the farmers and merchants came out in force to enjoy the day. The crowd found plenty of attractions too. The ball games, horse races, and band concerts followed each other in quick succession and the merry-go-round and roller coaster were busy during the afternoon and evening. The little folks had a great time in the children's playground.... Farmers came for miles to attend the picnic. They brought their dinner and supper with them in order that they might have plenty of time at the Park."
- "Douglas county is getting along pretty well, thank you. At least, the crops are doing their part. Record breaking yields are getting to be common. It seems to be the usual story for wheat raisers to report the very best yields they have ever known. In many instances the number of bushels per acre has considerably exceeded even the highest estimate put upon it."
- "The largest watermelons that have come to the Journal-World office this season were those brought in this morning. They were two fine specimens of the Tom Watson variety, raised by McNamara and Shook on Gus Brune's farm. One weighed fifty-one pounds, five ounces and the other fifty-one pounds, three ounces. The measurements of the melons were almost exactly the same, one foot, eleven inches in length and two feet and a half in circumference. There were twenty-eight acres on the Brune farm given over to watermelons this year."

Swabian–Alemannic Fastnacht (Carnival):
This carnival thing is very important here. It is very popular with the kids (they all dress up like it is Halloween) It hasn't stated yet but the beautiful festivities are already here.For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swabian%E2%80%93Alemannic_Fastnacht
Bottles for money:
Here in most every little super market you trade used plastic and glass bottles for quite a decent amount of money between 15 euro cent and 50 euro cent ($0.23-$0.80) per bottle depending on size so it adds up to quite a lot, it is a very good way to get people to recycle. You put the bottles in the machine, it scans them and then gives you a money receipt you take to the cashier for euros.Badminton:
I joined a badminton club here (because I am not fond of football/soccer) And it was pretty intense but very fun. The Germans here take sport very seriously.Monday, January 28, 2013

Cigarettes in Deutschland:
So apparently all cigarettes cost the same price all the time (at least from the vending machines in south Germany) they just change the amount of cigs you get so in America we get like 20 cigs always per pack and the price changes but here the price stays the same and the amount of cigarettes changes... interesting. At first I was like WTF only 19?? I must have gotten ripped off, but then they explained it to me. So sometimes they have 21 cigs or 17 or 19 or what ever to match the same price.I found an article about it here.
Interesting read.

Deer Liver:
Well I have never had deer before but tonight we just casually ate deer liver. It was strange but not bad. I never thought i would eat a liver... of a deer...McDonald's:
This beautiful little creature i found at McDonald's in Germany is called the "Big Rösti" It has bacon, hashbrown, butter, cheese and hamburger. what more could you ask for and it looks good. McDonald's here are awesome!So I went to the McDonald's here and it was more like a starbucks. It was super clean and they sold different food, and it was clean enough to go into the play box without fear of getting poked by needles hah.

The Super Markets:
Einstein beer, I thought it is funny because he was born in Swabia.
Cigarette vending machines for the win.
Put a euro in to get a shopping cart, and when you put it back you get your euro back. How smart is that. None of this crazy shopping cart madness i see in America.
My new best friend:
So Nikolas turns 5 tomorrow (Jan. 24, 2013) I can hardly understand him but We have loads of fun so far! I bought him some Hot Wheels for his birthday, his parents bought him a Hot Wheels track. I am ready to be a kid again!First Dinner:
This was my first German dinner with my new "Family" here inGrüningen. The oldest daughter is hiding under the table (der Tisch) since she doesn't like photos.
We had some different wursts and other beans/vegetables and tomato sauce I've never even heard of. It was amazing. Then the kids went to bed and we drank tons of wine and talked. Great people.
