Let me just preface this post by clarifying that I haven't given up on movies as a whole. In spite of my end-of-semester, burned-out attitude exhibited on Twitter lately, I haven't lost my interest in cinema. I finally saw 'Black Swan' last night and liked it a lot. The same goes for 'Rabbit Hole,' which I saw last week. That film made me tear up, which doesn't happen for me often. But I think I would have liked, maybe even loved, each a whole lot more had I watched them in the theater instead of at home, on screener copies. At least I managed to sit through them in their entirety.
I recently realized that this year I watched a lot of beginnings of movies that I never continued or finished. I've seen half an hour of Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" and thought that enough for me to bear. I started "Everyone Else," which is on a number of critics' top 10 lists, but I fell asleep and likely won't return to it anytime soon, if ever. Maybe I have minor ADD. Maybe I'm getting old. Maybe I start watching films too late. Maybe I'm just too busy these days to watch everything that's out there and still have a life outside of work and school.
The factors involved in my short level of interest are numerous, but I think one of the major reasons for my giving up on so many movies this year has to do with the format in which I primarily watch movies these days: Netflix, particularly the Watch Instantly service. Once "Alice in Wonderland" was available for streaming, I had a lot more incentive to check it out. It was one of the most popular blockbusters of 2010, after all. I had to at least get a taste. But then I quickly moved on, realizing quickly that it wasn't for me. The same is somewhat true of "Everyone Else," which I wouldn't have thought much about had it not been listed at #5 on the indieWIRE Critics Survey. Again, it's just not for me, and I knew this within ten minutes.
I've also started, but not finished, the following 2010 films: "Despicable Me," "A Prophet," "Devil," "Get Him to the Greek" and, seemingly appropriate, "A Film Unfinished." There were plenty other documentaries at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival and Silverdocs that I abandoned, as well. Many of these were not on Netflix, though many other films from other years were given just a trial run via Netflix Watch Instantly. The thing they all have in common, I guess, is that there was no real cost incentive for me to stick with them. Comparatively, I would have definitely walked out of or shut off "The Kids Are All Right," "Greenberg," "Piranha 3-D," "Freakonomics," "Conviction," "Secretariat," "Shutter Island," "The Expendables" and "MacGruber" if I hadn't paid for them or been paid to write about them.
Watching screeners of films I don't have to review as well as having the opportunity to watch thousands of titles streaming online for a set subscription price allows me to be finicky. If the movies begun don't hook me immediately, there are countless other films I haven't seen and feel are more worthy of my time. When we pay full price for a movie ticket, even if we don't like the movie we're likely to stay just because we've already spent the money. Same goes, to a lesser extent, with renting movies individually at per-item prices. This includes VOD and iTunes rentals, not just hard copy DVDs from video stores. Even regular press screenings -- those not at film fests, that is -- are relatively difficult to ditch, mainly because it's a good way to immediately annoy the publicist out in the lobby. Nobody has to see you turn off a screener, on the other hand.
But I'm not saying I am very happy with my abandonment tendencies of late. I can say that I'm grateful for sticking with "Freakonomics" at least for the one good segment from Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, and I did end up appreciating much of "Four Lions" in spite of nearly giving up a half hour into it (I was still overall disappointed). I don't like that I had to ditch "A Prophet," but like many other good films I've started and for whatever reason stopped midway, it's taking me too long to return to it and so it's unlikely I ever will. That's just what happens.
Meanwhile, I don't mean to imply subscription rental services, even streaming ones, are bad for movie watching. I think Watch Instantly, for instance, has exposed a lot of people to documentaries they wouldn't have seen otherwise. People will give films like "Exit Through the Gift Shop," "Every Little Step" and "The September Issue" a shot, because they're so accessible. And many people have trouble turning off a documentary after a few minutes, because they're already at least learning something. Such accessibility can work for lesser known fiction films, too. Other people who might not have picked it up in a video store are discovering "Everyone Else" since it's streaming on Netflix. And plenty of them are liking it more than I.
I'm probably killing my reputation and my cred as a true cinephile with this long and winding post, but I felt I should be honest. And I was expecting a day like this to come, only I thought it would be more related to my increasing problem of falling asleep at the movies as I grow older (something I knew I'd inherit from my mother). Plus, even though it's a drawn-out way of doing so, I figured I'd ask if anyone else thinks that as long as movies head further in the direction of low-cost, high-accessibility modes of distribution that filmmakers will need to think more about the first ten minutes of their movies and whether or not they'll capture the finicky viewer. I guess this could have been seen as a possible problem with cable TV airings of movies over the last 30 years. But turning to another hand-chosen movie or TV show in your personal queue is a lot different than continuing to flip through hundreds of channels of already-begun content (and a lot of otherwise unappealing crap) looking for a better alternative.
I'm also anxious to fix this rut I'm in by trying to leave the house to see more movies. I prefer the big screen to my TV anyway and tend not to just stick with films because I've paid for them but also because they're in a more engaging format that obviously draws the attention more focally. Hopefully I'll see more whole movies in 2011 than mere beginnings.
Has anyone else been beginning films that they aren't finishing more often lately? If so, how long a trial period do films typically get? And what are some of the titles you've quickly abandoned?

Football-Shirts.co.uk has shown pictures of what will apparently be our away kit for next season, with a traditional yellow design that should please the fans however it is unlikely that this is the shirt as if you look closely you will see that it is less football shirt and more polo shirt and a similar design did the rounds last year as well.
Throughout the year you often find a lot of leaks claiming to be exclusive, but more often than not they tend to be at least quite close to what ends up being the final design. This isn't the first time there have been pictures of a yellow kit, so it's likely we will be in our preferred away colours next season, even if it doesn't look exactly like this one.
Anyway, it's much better than what our rumoured kits will look like under new sponsors Adidas from the 2014/15 season, this time via 101greatgoals…
These look too well-designed to be fake, which is a worrying sign. Perhaps they'll grow on me but they're way too sci-fi looking for my taste, and I definitely don't like us in white away from home, never mind blue.
Apparently the deal with Adidas isn't definite just yet, but it's likely that these images found are some ideas being thrown around by the designers. There's still a long time before anything's decided so they might not look too much like these ones. Let's hope not anyway.

Smell The Coffee: Chasing the love bug
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- My husband and I were heading toward the checkout counter at Rite Aid, which required maneuvering through aisles lined with Valentine's cards, candies and gifts, when Geoff began muttering. I'm accustomed to Geoff's mutterings. He frequently has this sort of low-volume running monologue going when he's in a jovial mood, which is pretty much all the time. It's like having my own play-by-play announcer of everyday events. "And yes. It looks like the teen in the Aeropostale jersey is setting up ... Is she setting up? Yes, she is. Slipped that Hershey bar in Mom's basket like a whisper. Mom never saw it coming. Has no idea it's there." Accustomed as I am to such mutterings, there are times I don't, you know, absorb all he's saying. In this case, he'd been talking for a while and I'd only registered "one-size-fits-all" and something about bugs. We were getting in the car when he said, "Am I right or am I right?" I could've taken the easy way out and agreed he was right, but the bug part had me intrigued. "Right about what?" "That if I bought you flowers or a box of candy for Valentine's Day, it wouldn't make you happy." "Yes, you're right," I said. "And you're stating the obvious," Geoff said. "It's all this Valentine nonsense. Candy. Flowers. Jewelry. What says I love you better than giving that special someone the exact same thing as everyone else?" "I don't know," I said. "I mean, if your wife loves daisies and you get her daisies instead of roses, that's sweet." "Daisies make a man look cheap. You said so yourself." "Those were from a neighbor's yard." He smiled sheepishly. Shrugged. "They still had the roots," I said. "With dirt clumps dangling." "In case you wanted to replant them," he said. "Cut flowers die. You say that depresses you." "And candy depresses me because it stays with me forever," I said, looking down at my thighs. "That's why I think I've found the perfect gift," Geoff said. "It's from the Bronx Zoo." "What? Are they having an overstock sale?" "Naming rights to a roach," he said. "Heard about it on NPR. For just 10 bucks, you get to name one of their Madagascar hissing cockroaches. Throw in $15 more and you get a chocolate roach and a certificate that says a roach has been named after you." "Now that's romantic," I said. "What says 'forever' better than a cockroach?" "Glad you feel that way," he said. "And you're still, like, all about homemade gifts, too, aren't you?" The wry smile and faraway look in his eye made me nervous. As did the small, scritching sound of tiny legs against cardboard coming from the backseat. I tried to get a straight answer out of him, but the low mumbling had begun anew. "And here comes Fuller up on the right. He's getting ready to make his move. A man with a plan. Gonna show his love bug a love bug. Maybe get a little insect-ual." "Maybe check into a roach motel," I said. And my Valentine smiled. Reach Karin Fuller at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Discoveries Behind Future Cures
Nobel Prize Honors Basic Research Breakthroughs
The Nobel Prize, which is given every year, recognizes great achievements that have improved our lives. Two of this year's prizes honor advances in basic biology that have already opened up new avenues for diagnosing and treating a host of human diseases.
The prize winners get a medal and $1.4 million. We all get a future of better health.
Both prizes involve a process central to life: how instructions encoded in our DNA are used to make proteins, molecules that perform critical tasks in the body. When a cell needs a protein, it first copies the genetic instructions for that protein from the DNA into a related molecule called RNA. This copying process is known as transcription. Like a courier, the RNA then delivers the instructions to the cell's protein-making factories.
Without transcription, all creatures would die because their cells no longer would make proteins. Many human illnesses, like heart disease and uncontrolled inflammation, have been linked to transcription errors.
Dr. Roger D. Kornberg won the Nobel Prize in chemistry this year for figuring out a key step in transcription. He follows in the footsteps of his father, who won a Nobel Prize in 1959.
To better understand how the process works and what can cause it to go awry, Kornberg used high-tech tools to capture the first image of the protein central to transcription in organisms ranging from yeast to humans. That snapshot is now helping researchers interested in transcription-related diseases to identify potential new medicines.
Doctors are already testing this year's Nobel Prize-winning discovery in physiology or medicine as a treatment for asthma, diabetes, brain diseases and age-related vision loss. In 1998, researchers Dr. Craig C. Mello and Dr. Andrew Z. Fire identified a process that could turn off or "silence" genes, segments of DNA that help determine our appearance, behavior and health.
Other researchers had previously noticed a puzzling phenomenon in petunias. When they gave the flowers an extra "purple" gene to brighten their color, the petals unexpectedly became stark white. It turns out that a special type of RNA prompts cells to destroy their own matching RNAs, effectively silencing genes.
Fire and Mello found that a similar thing happened in worms. By giving pieces of this RNA to the worms, the scientists could target and turn off specific genes. They called the process "RNA interference," or RNAi. Within a year, RNAi was documented in several other organisms.
RNAi has now become a powerful tool for scientists. Many researchers predict that gene silencing might one day lead to new medical treatments for a number of human diseases, such as cancer and viral infections.
"These discoveries in basic science have changed our view of biology and they're already beginning to change how we treat disease," says Dr. Jeremy M. Berg, director of NIH's National Institute of General Medical Sciences, which has supported the research of Fire, Mello and Kornberg for many years.
Researchers around the world, many of them funded by NIH, continue to make new breakthroughs in basic science that will one day lead to the medical techniques of the future.
Number of Nobel Prize-winning discoveries by NIH and NIH-supported researchers: 120

Rare has suffered a number of high profile layoffs, which Microsoft is describing as part of a decision to change the "development process" at the UK studio. A little under 20 employees have been given pink slips, including veteran programmer Chris Sutherland and designer Gavin Price.
Sutherland, a twenty year veteran at Rare, has worked on such games as Battletoads, three Donkey Kong Country games, and the Banjo-Kazooie series. He also is the voice of Banjo-Kazooie.
Gavin Price, a 15-year veteran at Rare, has worked on Viva Piñata, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and a number of cancelled projects.
Both worked on the Kinect Sports games for Microsoft.
In a statement provided to CVG, Microsoft has confirmed the staff cuts calling them part of a deeper "methodology" change at the studio.
"At Xbox, our goal is to constantly create new fun, social and interactive entertainment experiences, the company said in a statement. "As part of Rare's commitment to this goal, we have made a decision to change our development process and methodology at Rare to best support our future projects, this has led to us reviewing the skills and the makeup of our development teams in our business. Rare continues to invest in our people and future projects."

If your system partition or system drive is encrypted using TrueCrypt, you need to enter your pre-boot authentication password in the TrueCrypt Boot Loader screen after you turn on or restart your computer. It may happen that you are forced by somebody to decrypt the operating system or to reveal the pre-boot authentication password. There are many situations where you cannot refuse to do so (for example, due to extortion). TrueCrypt allows you to create a hidden operating system whose existence will be impossible to prove (provided that certain guidelines are followed — see below). Thus, you will not have to decrypt or reveal the password for the hidden operating system.
Before you continue reading this section, make sure you have read the section Hidden Volume and that you understand what a hidden TrueCrypt volume is.

The Grand Bazzito Canyon
Greetings All
the other night we found a small hole, on further investigation it appeared to be a hole dug by the Grand Bazzito and his magical mega nuke tech
Feels like you wouldn't want to be too close when that thing goes off ;)
there was a village there.....WAS being the key word.
Just did that in my own single player 9x9 block of nukes :) Cool hole, finally saw the loading thing with the xycraft everyone is talking about since such a big render.
Wow... I see why the no nuclear power in the city rule exists...
So!? I was digging an outdoor toilet......
...and enjoy a lot of curries.......
(go on picture the hole.......FULL!)
This disturbing mental image bought to you by Bazz - your welcome :)
As it was going:
The resulting hole:
It was all in the name of science though..... ok.... it was 99% in the name of "splody fun" and 1% in the name of "checking to see how much the server can handle"...
But, we turned it into a science experiment, and that's the main (justifying) thing.
We found out that while the canyon was in it's "raw" form..... the server had MASSIVE issues with it. When we smoothed out the bedrock layer so it was flat instead of jagged (so by being flat had less surface area), the server then was *MUCH* happier.
Send in the Turtles to cover the hole!
(I just learned about turtles *giddy laugh*... err... *Manly Grunt*)
A filler in fill mode at the level you want to come up to, full of sand or gravel, does nicely, as well.
You would need A LOT of sand to cover that hole :D

Hip Hop and Sobriety: No Dope is Dope
Hip Hop and Sobriety: No Dope is Dope - Page 2
(page 2)
The happiness he felt on the road carried over into the studio. Kid Cudi recorded his new album, Satellite Flight, completely clean. That experience took him back to the creativity of his pre-addiction days, back when he was an up-and-comer who was too broke to buy coke and booze. "It reminded me of the power that comes from having a sober mind. The music benefits a great deal. It was something that I was surprised about," Cudi tells Complex.
Another hip hop luminary who discovered that sobriety enhances his art is Scott Storch. The megaproducer who sculpted hits for performers like Fat Joe ("Lean Back"), 50 Cent ("Candy Shop"), and Justin Timberlake ("Cry Me A River") is back in the studio after taking a personal leave of absence. Storch tells XXL that it's a new day and he's feeling good. "It's a healthy environment that I am in...and getting deeper in my sobriety, etc. Things become more vivid and clear. It's like muscle memory. It all comes back. Slowly but surely, my love came back for the music as well."
To a large extent, hip hop's current emphasis on clean living can be traced back to Eminem who rapped about his personal struggle with drugs on the confessional albums Relapse (2009) and Recovery (2010). Em even rocked an AA triangle-in-circle pendant on the 2011 Grammys where Recovery was named best rap album and where he won best rap performance for the personal empowerment anthem "Not Afraid." And when his Shady Records partner, Joe Budden, got sprung, Eminem was there to help him clean up.
Urging others to get clean and sober is also a crusade for rap's reigning Grammy king. The format-crossing success of the number one singles, "Thrift Shop" and "Can't Hold Us" along with through-the-roof sales of the album, The Heist, catapulted Macklemore and his DJ/producer partner Ryan Lewis into the upper echelon of the rap game. All that fan and critic love led to big wins during awards seasons, culminating in a quartet of Grammys (including best new artist and best rap album). The superstar spotlight also gave the Seattle emcee a big stage for his pro-sober message, which he shared through autobiographical tracks detailing his years of addiction and struggle to stay clean. In the song "Otherside," Macklemore laments how drugs ruined close relationships and shattered his spirit:
Cheating and lying, friendships cease, no peace in the mind
Stealing and taking anything to fix the pieces inside
Broken, hopeless, headed nowhere
Only motivation for what the dealer's supplying
Trashing drugs' image of fun and glamor, Macklemore warns of the inevitable dead end:
There's no way to glorify this pavement.
Syrup, Percocet, and an eighth a day
Will leave you broke, depressed, and emotionally vacant
After years of heavy drug use, and at his dad's urging, Macklemore checked himself into rehab in 2008. He stayed clean for three years before briefly relapsing in 2011. So, he knows how hard it is to battle addiction. In the confessional track "Starting Over," Macklemore rhymes about "fighting demons" and the shame of the moment when "you tell your dad you relapsed then look him directly into his face." Macklemore wraps up his rap by volunteering to be a role model: "If I can be an example of getting sober, then I can be an example of starting over."
Just how deeply these clean and sober rappers will penetrate the music industry mainstream remains unclear. Casual and celebratory references to alcohol and drugs continue to pop up in all genres of popular music. But by standing up for sobriety, this group of trend-challenging artists is carving out a new definition of cool by providing truth in an industry built on image and illusion.

You are here:Lessons - How to Cut Hair - Sectioning
Sectioning is a crucial element in achieving a balanced style. Most cuts are divided into segments: back, sides, front and interior.
It is important that you take clean, precise sections when you are making your partings or following your guidelines around the shape of your haircut. Your sections should correspond with your cutting line. For example, if your cutting line is horizontal, you should take a horizontal section or, if your cutting line is curved, you should take a curved section.
You should also note the features of your client's head – the position of their eyes and ears, the shape of their nose, their hairline points, etc. Make sure you take enough sections. The more sections and guidelines you use in the neck, side and front areas, the easier you will find the cutting process. Remember, if you make your sections clean, you will get precise cutting lines.

It all started last week with a simple invitation. First Lady Michelle Obama set off a firestorm of controversy when she invited rapper Common to attend the White House for a night of poetry. The invite angered critics, mostly Republicans who lashed out at the Obama's for inviting an artist who "glorified" police killing in a previous poem. Another familiar critic of Hip-Hop music and it's message included none other than talk show host Bill O' Reilly.
Calling Common a defender of a cop killer – a direct nod towards exiled former Black Panther Assata Shakur and the rapper's "A Song For Assata" track recounting her tale – O'Reilly has challenged the popular Jon Stewart to a debate over the issue. Stewart, using his satirical and comedic wit, discounted the fervor and criticism of the White House poetry event and Common's inclusion in the affairs – which some have considered a dismantling of Fox News and conservative pundits aims in making the beloved rapper a political target.
Tonight the debate begins. The two talk show hosts make their case. What are your thoughts?
8:23 – Bill O'Reilly recaps his beef with Common, says the rapper praises cop killers and had no business at the White House.
8:23 – The debate begins. O'Reilly says Common supports cops killers, millions of Americans are upset.
8:24 – O'Reilly says Common thinks, Assata Shakur is "great." Says Common visited Shakur in Cuba.
8:25 – Stewart says Common is not celebrating but honoring someone who he felt was wrongly accused. Says Common thinks Shakur was convicted unjustly.
8:26 – O'Reilly says the White House made a poor decision inviting Common. "You know how many poets would have loved to be there?"
8:27 – Before making his point Stewart tells O'Reilly that he has "mad love for" him. HA! Says Common has done lot's of great work and shouldn't be determined by this incident.
8:27 – O'Reilly cites a second incident where Common praised a cop killer in Philadelphia (Muma Abu-Jamal).
8:28 – Stewart makes a point that singers, Bono and Bob Dylan made songs about killers Leonard Peltier, who was convicted of slaying two FBI agents and Rubin "Hurricane" Carter and still went to the White House unscrutinized. Says folks who made song's expressing their thoughts on murder cases should be allowed in the White House. "Why are you drawing a line at the Common," Stewart asks.
8:30 – commercial break
8:32 – O'Reilly questions why he should be fair to Common alongside Bono and others. Reiterates that Common visited Shakur in Cuba.
8:33 – O'Reilly puts Common in the same category as Reverend Wright and Bill Ayers, all examples of what he considers Obama's bad decisions.
8:35 – Stewart says if he was President he'd have better things to do other than booking guests for "Poetry Slam."
8:36 – Stewart says it's sad to see O'Reilly wasting his time on this topic. Says "songs are not literal."
8:36 – O' Reilly says that what he likes about Stewart is he takes "cheap shots but defends those cheap shots."
8:36 – The debate is over. Who came out victorious, O'Reilly asks.

when I seen this recipe, I am going to try it because I love mocha. This coffee will be great for the Christmas holiday.
I love to stir my hot cocoa with a peppermint stick, but never thought to put it in coffee. This was yummy, and the peppermint stick helped sweeten it. But, it also made it a little too pepperminty for my taste.
Recipe was easy to make, just a little too much peppermint extract for my liking, will make it again with a little less. Also may put a little more chocolate in.

Cancer hospital irregularities
I have been a frequent visitor to the Cancer hospital for the past two years. At times I have had to stay at the hospital. Cancer hospital is the only hospital that is well equipped in the whole island for this deadly disease.
Yet it is also a place for favouritism. Patients come from distant places like Jaffna and Anuradhapura. To visit the clinic, some of these patients come on the previous day and stay at the hospital. They are given lodging at the Buddhist shrine in the hospital for a nominal fee of Rs. 25. Some patients come at 5 o'clock in the morning on the same day. These patients are so poor that at times they don't even have a decent meal.
One has to be in their midst to understand the mental strain and suffering these people undergo. Words cannot explain their suffering. But some people are very selfish.
People who live within Colombo city limits come around 11.00 am. and they are attended to in no time whereas the helpless poor people wait from 5 o'clock in the morning. Some of these patients who come late have friends in the hospital who help them to see the doctor soon. Some of them come to the hospital and call the doctor to tell him that they are waiting out so that the doctor would call them in soon.
All the patients who come to the Cancer hospital whether rich or poor have personal commitments at home. But we should not be selfish and deprive others of their rights. Some people who are on chemotherapy are allowed to go home after treatment. After chemotherapy there is a tendency for the patient to vomit at short intervals. In such a state these patients who are poor have to travel several kilometres by bus. So when these patients are delayed at the clinic they have to go home late. The same thing happens even in the wards.
The corridors are crowded with patients sleeping on the floor due to lack of beds. Some are compelled to undergo chemotherapy by sleeping on the floor or seated in a chair. Yet when someone known to one of the nursing staff comes, even a patient who is on the bed is asked to leave in order to make the bed available for this VIP.
Even the toilets are reserved for certain patients. For a ward that houses around 50 patients or more, only two toilets are available. Out of that one is almost always blocked and not fit to be used. The VIPs are given the key to use the nursing staff's toilet.
This type of favouritism happens even in the lab, physiotherapy department, dispensary and so many other places. It is a pity to note that even in a situation where people are not even sure of survival, they still cling to their selfish desires and seek only to please themselves.

Bridge over the railway line near Lake House
The photograph of the bridge over the railway line near Lake House published DN Aug. 4 highlights the lack of vision among our traffic planners.
This photo shows an unused span at the extreme right, now covered by billboard mountings. On the other side of the bridge, a temple has been built obstructing its entrance.
This span could have been easily used for a bypass lane linking Olcott Mawatha and Lotus Road. It could have been a fast lane, at least for light traffic, going from Pettah towards Galle Road, avoiding the congestion at the round-about opposite Lake House.
Even the temple could have been built on columns leaving room for traffic underneath, had the authorities responsible for the temple construction thought about it.

I came across a female patient aged 78 years on continuous treatment for almost 20 yrs for Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. She is being treated by a well-known Neuro Physician (Consultant). So many investigations done, so many drugs tried. But she continues to get fits. On a closer examination I found;
1) A month's stocks of drugs is kept with the patient - these drugs are to be taken at various times of the day in various doses.
2) The patient would administer the drugs herself at her will may be whenever she gets a headache or dizziness, or she may not like the various side effects of these drugs, quite unaware that sudden withdrawal of these Anti Epileptic drugs could precipitate fits.
In western countries soon after a consultation, the patient is immediately referred to the qualified nurse in the adjoining room who would then educate the patient facts about her illness. Nursing care if needed, what to do and what not to do, administration of drugs, their side affects etc.
This type of situation is sadly lacking in our consultation practice and the general practice as well.

The distance from Dehiwela to Wellawatte, and the distance from Dehiwela to Kalubowila hospital is about the same.
But strangely enough there is a section halt between the Dehiwala/Kalubowila section by the William grinding mills. We like to know if this is a sanctioned section halt or something created by the buses plying on this route.

Pramuka depositors still in the dark
Having deposited money in an account in Pramuka Bank, I waited expectantly for the bank to open in July 2004. Alas, the Central Bank is maintaining an ominous silence and keeping us in the dark. The bank is still closed. It is over 18 months back, that the Central Bank suddenly announced a suspension of this bank. It said that Pramuka Bank is suspended for two months only to safeguard depositors. I now wish to ask the present Director of Banking Supervision, have you safeguarded our deposits? Then please pay our money back to us.
I have the impression that the former Central Bank Management dished out a so called remedy to the Prmuka Bank, using a different spoon to what it served other banks which had difficulties. Are we wrong to expect the new authorities with the new Central Bank management (of course without the present Director of Banking Supervision) to approach the Pramuka Bank issue with more sagacity?
We have very clearly seen that Pramuka Bank was treated differently due to various reasons. Please do not let down the public. We relied on a Central Bank Supervised bank and deposited hard earned money. We are justified in asking the Central Bank to do more than what it has done to date, to solve this big financial problem.

It has been officially estimated that there are 400,000 Government pensioners in Sri Lanka. Majority of them are in the age range of 70 to 90 and in the evening of their lives. With their dependents the number is estimated at a minimum of 1.2 Million people of the country living in dire straits. These pensioners of the old guard, served the State very diligently and earned their pensions as a reward for their service.
These senior pensioners had their education in English medium and had to pay school fees and University fees for their education unlike the present day State officials who had the privilege of free education and Mahapola scholarships.
The pre 1994 pensioners were compelled to pay Income Taxes unlike the present day CAS officers. They are also provided free transport and free fuel at the expense of tax payers. The retired Senior Pensioners had to purchase vehicles on State loans which amounts were deducted from their monthly salaries making life difficult for them.
They were very dedicated officials unlike the present day officials most of whom are lotus eaters. If the present day Divisional Secretaries work efficiently the living conditions of the poor and the people's problems would be resolved very satisfactorily and the Government in power would not be embarrassed or gain unpopularity to bring into power at the next election.
The Ministry of Public Administration is responsible for deterioration of the public service.
The Divisional Secretaries of Galle, Gampaha, Katana and Maharagma were able to pay pension arrears for a large number in terms of the Director of Pensions circular issued in February 2004. Although five months have elapsed, the Dehiwela and Ratmalana Divisional Secretaries had been able to compute only about 100 files in five months and not paid a single pensioner. There are about 12,000 pensioners in these two divisions and they are planning a protest march from the Post Offices to the Secretaries offices on the next pension day.
At the current rate of progress, it will take three to five years to pay the arrears, by which time many of the 70-90 aged pensioners would be in their graves.

It is hoped that a peaceful settlement, politically of the ethnic conflict will occur between the government and the LTTE as early as possible.
This being the main issue for the government and people of Sri Lanka towards the development and progress of the country, the cooperation of all is expected with the Government towards a settlement.

Prof. Sunanda Mahendra's article Splitting image of the Walauwas in DN July 13 prompts me to write this. The mud-slinging and ridicule, that the Walawuwas (Aristocratic Homes) are subjected to, have sprung from jealousy and hatred in the minds of people who despise those who have something they do not have and something they cannot acquire.
Although they ridicule the name 'Walauwa', if they get a chance of buying a Walauwa long after the occupants are gone, they cling to the title and continue to use the name Walauwa. When such places are sold by property dealers, they advertise giving prominence to the word 'Walauwa' for prestige. If Walauwas are associated with murders, rape, torture etc. why do the commoners who are the new owners cling on to the title, long after the 'Walauwe Hamus' are gone? That is because they value the title and want their house to be called a Walauwa to show that they are of the aristocracy.
My SIL's family gave a number of old portraits of their ancestors to a shop for reframing and mounting. The shop owner died before they could collect them back. Later, when they asked the father of the shop owner for the portraits, they found that all of them have been taken by someone who claimed to be the 'owner'.
They lost portraits of two generations of their ancestors. Up to date nobody knows who stole the portraits or where they are, but in all probability, in a house of some new-rich, showing them as their ancestors! Haven't the people, who brand the Walauwas, ever heard of Walauwas whose occupants have led exemplary good lives, been honest and straight forward, done a yeoman service to the country, brought credit to the country, donated their wealth, helped the needy etc? I myself know of present day Walauwas to which the poor always go for every help they need, but people look at Walauwas with contempt.
Just because some people write fiction involving a Walauwa showing only a bad side, it is unfair and unjust to put all the actual Walauwas in the same category. Not only in a Walauwa, in all families, be it Walauwa or Commoner, any parent will object if the son/daughter gets involved in a love affair with someone well below their status. What about the sons and daughters of rich Walauwas who have married commoners or someone from poor families and have been accepted by the parents as their sons/daughters-in-law?
Take all the cases of murders, rape, torture, unlawful acts etc. in this country at present and in the past and see whether the majority of the criminals/offenders are from Walauwas. One might argue that the percentage of Walauwas is small. I would challenge anyone to do a survey/analytical study of all Walauwas as to their moral conduct and also those of the other families, before they try to tarnish the image of the Walauwas.

The Moakley Archive at Suffolk University has many resources that help illustrate U.S. foreign relations with El Salvador during the 1980s and 1990s and in particular, Congressman Joe Moakley's work related to El Salvador's civil war, the investigation of the murders of Jesuit priests in 1989, and human rights and immigration issues.
Below is an annotated compilation of primary sources available at the Moakley Archive, and secondary sources such as books, journal articles and websites about El Salvador, including U.S. legislation, some of which Congressman Moakley was instrumental in creating. Many of the books and articles are available at Suffolk's Sawyer Library or Moakley Law Library. Please contact the Archives for more information.
From 1980 until 1992, El Salvador was ripped apart by a civil war that left more than 75,000 people dead. During this time, the United States, fearing that El Salvador would succumb to a leftist takeover, poured funds into Salvadoran military operations. Although Moakley had been urging the Reagan administration to cut El Salvador's military funding since the early 1980s, his commitment to El Salvador was cemented after meetings with constituents that included refugees of the Salvadoran civil war and a group of community activists, the Jamaica Plain Committee on Central America.
As a result of these encounters Moakley spent the next six years working to ease immigration restrictions on Salvadorans, and was later chosen to lead a congressional investigation into the 1989 murders of six Jesuit priests and two women at the University of Central America in San Salvador. This congressional investigation, also known as the Moakley Commission, revealed that the murders had been directed from the upper levels of the Salvadoran armed forces. The findings also resulted in reduced military funding to El Salvador, led to the successful prosecution of members of the Salvadoran military and helped pave the way for U.N. Peace Accords in 1992 and democratic elections in El Salvador. After the civil war ended, Moakley focused on closing the School of the Americas (SOA) and providing relief aid to the country after a series of natural disasters in the late 1990s.
The Moakley Papers document Congressman Moakley's efforts on behalf of El Salvador including immigration/asylum issues, human rights, attempts to reduce U.S. military aid to El Salvador, the signing of the 1992 Peace Accords, attempts to close the School of the Americas (SOA) and relief efforts after a series of natural disasters in the late 1990s.
Note: This is a small selection of digitized records; to see all digitized items from the Moakley papers, search the Archives Catalog using the following search terms: MS100 digitized.

Paul Byrnes Hanna is a Jason Bourne movie without Jason Bourne. It follows all the rules on the modern spy-who-was-born-to-kill action thriller but the protagonist is a teenage girl raised in the snowy northern wilderness by her father, an ex-CIA assassin played by Eric Bana.
This film is the perfect mix of "Taken" and the Bourne movies.
Frantic pace, brilliantly staged and filmed action sequences, appropriate sound track, and an interesting sneaky spy plot line.
Its mainly a revenge film but there is a Bourne-ish sub plot about the origins of the girl Hanna that might get more screen time in a director's cut, but its not really necessary to enjoy what is a really engaging and entertaining roller-coaster of a movie.

Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Based on the sitename Shemale.com, I knew I was going to see shemales. DUH! But what I didn't know until I landed on the tour was that these weren't pre-recorded trannies. These shemales were live for my viewing pleasure. Yup, this is a live cam site, folks!
Shemale.com looks good. In fact, it's a shemale-centric version of its siter site, Sexier.com. The colors are nice and the overall design is simple and clean and this leads right into the navigation being simple as well. When you sign in you will be immediately greeted on the homepage with all the performers who are currently online, which when I was there was around 50.
You can browse the pages of online performers or use the filters to narrow things down based on the type of shemale, body type, hair color, language or even the cam quality. It looks like the majority of the performers are of the Asian persuasion, but there were also some sexy Latin trannies who caught my eye.
I checked out a number of cams and found that overall the cam quality was average. Yes, there are some marked "HD" and those do look better, but there were also some I found using the "high-quality" filter that just looked blurry. Thankfully, I generally found that the movement was fluid regardless of the quality.
As with many cam sites, there is a free chat option that lets you check out the tranny and her cam before you decide if you want to drop any cash and take her for some private time. Speaking of private time, there are two options. The first is called "chat with me," which gets you into a private room with the performer, but other people can join in if they want. The other is called "enter exclusive chat" where you get a Tgirl all to yourself. The second option costs more, though.
Not all the shemales charge the same, but what I saw the most was a 1.98 credit/minute charge for the first option and a 6 credit/minute charge for the exclusive chat. With that in mind I looked into getting credits and saw that the base option was 50 credits for about $74, which comes to about $1.50/credit and this means about $3/minute. That isn't cheap, but it falls somewhere in the middle range of what other live cam sites charge.
To answer some other questions you might have, yes, there is a cam2cam option should you want to turn yours on (most of the shemales I went private with even asked me if I had a cam). Yes, there is a notification option that lets you receive emails when a specific performer is online. Yes, the performers all have small bios with a collection of screen grabs. No, there isn't any session timer, so you will have to keep track of how long you are in private chat yourself.
The site is accessible through all mobile devices, including iPhones/iPads. It offers a bunch of hardcore shemale porn videos, but you will have to pay extra credits for those. There's an advanced search, but unfortunately it brings up the whole database of non-shemale performers from Sexier. You think you're searching for shemales, but you're getting females.
Shemale.com is a decent live cam site. There could've been more transsexuals online at the time of this update and although the cam quality varied, I was able to find ones that looked good enough to fully enjoy the cock-stroking performances. And the per-minute price isn't bad, although the exclusive chat option is ridiculously high.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

be adversely affected, JPMorgan said.
While the RBI has not explicitly said so, its actions suggest 60-per-dollar is a line in the sand for the exchange rate. Analysts think that is a mistake.
An inability to defend that would hurt market confidence, yet a dogged battle for the level could mean the central bank compromises stability in other parts of the economy, particularly by increasing volatility in money markets.
"Stability in the rupee is what will constitute victory," said Sanjay Mathur, RBS economist based in Singapore. "That may even take a few months and the RBI may be ready for that haul."
Analysts expect stability to mean less volatility in the currency rather than a turnaround and the indications are that the central bank has not won the battle yet. Market expectations of future one-month rupee volatility are still 4 percentage points above the 7 percent levels of May.
For now, economists expect the central bank to do more of the same: discreet policy tightening through its web of open market operations.
They expect other non-monetary administrative options, such as forcing exporters to bring earnings home quickly or forcing oil importers to stagger their bulky dollar payments, if the pressure is sustained. The government is, meanwhile, examining ways to raise money from non-resident Indians.
"To reverse these measures, the RBI might need to conclude that these steps were ineffective or the costs entailed were too high or the external environment has to improve markedly," said Radhika Rao, economist at DBS in Singapore.
"We don't believe either of these will pan out in the short-term."

Nigeria's Lagos State earmarks US$173 million to combat ocean surge
The Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, told the fifth Climate Change Summit, organized by the state's Ministry of Environment on Wednesday in Lagos that the state would require about US$173 million in order to provide lasting solution to the frequent ocean surge and protect the state's shoreline.
"We are not getting any money from anywhere. But we have committed about N6 billion (about US$40 million) to this project," he said.
Speaking on the ocean surge which hit Kuramo Beach in Lagos last year, Fashola said the state government was taken unaware by the surge because there was no budget provision to mitigate its consequences in the 2012 fiscal budget.
"In the implementation of last year's budget, we did not conceive that the uncompleted part of the Eko Atlantic City would be overrun by the ocean," he said.
The Kuramo surge took away walls of properties from the end of Ahmadu Bello Way right down to Alpha Beach.
"We did not budget for that….but in the last quarter of the year, we urged all departments to contribute some capital votes so that we can start an urgent protection of all of properties on the road, right down to Alpha Beach," Fashola added.

Defender´s Quest: Valley of the Forgotten Cheats
You probably need Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or above, otherwise the trainer will crash.
You can download it here: www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=21
(Youll only need to install it once)
Using this Trainer
Launch the trainer first, then launch the Game and then Press F1 at the Main Menu.
Listen for Trainer Activated.
Press desired hotkey (trainer) and/or double click on a value (editor) to change it.
Options (Trainer)
Numpad 1: Freeze Health
Numpad 2: Refill Psi
Options (Editor)
Edit: Health
Edit: Psi
Edit: Maximum Psi
Edit: EXP In Battle
Edit: Scraps
Edit. Skill Points
- General:
Im sorry to say but this game creates and uses memory only when needed. This didnt even made it difficult to deliver a trainer it
will be also difficult to use the trainer in the right way. There is no way around, so please read further about getting the
trainer to work. PS: If you hear at any time a sound playing Failed to inject youve probably done something wrong. Read
instructions and try again.
- Getting values:
Has to be done a single time during a game session.
- Health/Psi/EXP:
During or at the start of a battle make sure your psi value gets loaded by using a spell or creating a unit. Now tab out and press
Get Health/Psi/EXP button or press F1. Wait for the SECOND Trainer activated sound. Now you need to get some psi dropped an
enemy OR click on a spell and then click somewhere on the map and for health you need to get in contact with an enemy before values
will be displayed on the trainer. The health value contains the value of your unit currently being attacked by an enemy. Freeze
Health works for all of your units. About Psi the value gets refreshed each time you get psi from an enemy and the current psi
value cant be higher than the maximum psi value. By pressing Refill Psi your current psi value will be set to its maximum but
keep in mind that the value needs to be refreshed by the game itself. Edit EXP In Battle to get more exp out of a single battle.
The EXP will be displayed at the end of each battle. Last but not least i recommend to turn off Freeze Health at the end of a
battle to avoid any conflict. If you have Freeze Health activated and create a new unit its health will be 1, this is caused by
the game as it will declare the unit as friendly after a few miliseconds. This is not a bug and its not avoidable except disabling
the option before creating a unit.
- Skill Points
At the end of a battle youre on the EXP/Level screen. Click on a character and mouse hover the skills. Tab out and click on Get
Skill Points or press F2. Wait for the SECOND Trainer activated sound. Again mouse hover the skills and edit your available
skill points on the editor. Spend a skill points on a skill to let the game refreshing the value.

|Swimming is full sport at HHS
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Moving into its first year as a fully-sanctioned sport from its club sport status, HHS girls' swimming season is under way.
Fourteen team members are led by coaches Adria Colver and Aly (Colver) Brinkema.
Coach Colver said it will be fun to see how the team and season develop.
For the 2013-14 season, Colver said they were hoping to go to an independent league, but it was full. The team will be swimming in a league, they're just not sure which one at this point.
Returning letterwinners on the HHS swimming team are pictured from left, Ashley Humphreys, Lori McWilliams, Malena McWilliams and Dani Brandt. Not pictured is Jayden Durbin.
By next year, for the 2014-15 season, Colver anticipates HHS will be swimming in the Tri-Valley league with schools such as Northridge, Valley, Eaton and Windsor.
Returning letterwinners for the 2013-14 team include seniors Ashley Humphreys and Malena McWilliams, junior Jayden Durbin of Haxtun and sophomores Dani Brandt and Lori McWilliams.
Other team members are juniors Kaetlynne Overton and Maddie Amann; sophomores Jaylene Dominguez and Kaylee Michael of Haxtun; and freshmen Emily Krogmeier, Megan Humphreys, Michalla Drake, Jordyn Turney of Haxtun and Madison Beckner of Wray.

Clint Eastwood & chair wins the crazy moment on tv. FRONT PAGE: Jesse Jackson Jr. can not blame bipola disorder for misuse of campaign funds-LOL. Glad Kevin Hart
is doing well--funny little man. Jennifer Hudson SHOULD hold off marriage to Otunga if he is refusing to sign a prenup. Rihanna looks nice on Vogue cover. But it IS sad that alot of REAL talented black & other non-white actors, singers, etc. did not grace the cover, get mentioned or an article in Vogue. That's one of many reasons why I DO NOT buy Vogue--especially when they did that white only female celebrity cover spread 1 or 2yrs. ago.

I am absolutely over the hypocrisy of Hollywood. They claim to stand up for the rights of people to be who they are, but the minute one comes out as conservative, they start the bullying. What really confuses me is how anyone can really take them seriously. They live in a world where they are catered to, surrounded by "yes" men, and get paid to pretend to be other people. Most haven't even gone to college or worked in industry. But they understand us "regular" people?
- Sat Oct 20, 09:30:00 AM PDT
I am glad that Beyonce pulled out of Clint Eastwood's movie. She too big for the roll. The are plenty of ACTRESSES who can sing and act. For example: KeKe Palmer

CIFA asks parties to add 4 key farm issues in poll manifesto
Apr 21 2014 , New Delhi
In a statement, the Consortium of Indian Farmers Association (CIFA) said "there is a need to have a long term and a stable sugar export policy" as this will help improve cash flows of mills, who can pay timely cane arrears.
Sugar production has been encouraging, outstripping demand for the last four years, the statement said adding the production is expected to be surplus next year and hence there should be a long-term export policy.
CIFA also said that in order to safeguard interest of cane farmers, there is a need to link ethanol price to petrol rates under the government's ethanol blending programme.
Ethanol is an important by-product of sugarcane. Under ethanol blending programme, the government has made it mandatory for oil marketing companies to blend 5% ethanol with petrol.
Amid labour shortage affecting the agriculture sector, the farmers body has sought subsidy to buy farm machineries and loan at 4% interest rate to farmers. CIFA also sought 90% subsidy on drip and sprinker irrigation and and encourage this sector.
CIFA, which was set up in 2001, said political parties should incorporate farmers' charter of demands in the ongoing poll manifesto. It also pledged to follow up the implementation of the charter after polls.

The Spalding University Golden Eagles' men's basketball team is headed to the 2013 NCAA Division III tournament. They will play Washington University (WU) in the first round on Saturday, March 2, at the WU Field House in St. Louis, Missouri. Game time is set for 8:00 p.m., EST.
Spalding athletics has spent the past five years completing its transition from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), and this is the first time the Golden Eagles' men's basketball team is eligible to compete in the post-season Division III tournament. The the 62-team field was announced on February 26, and the tournament will culminate in Atlanta on April 7.
"The wait has been well worth it," head coach Kevin Gray says. "Whenever you can make the NCAA Tournament, it's special."
The Golden Eagles (20-7) clinched a berth in the NCAA tournament February 23 with a 64-62 victory over Eureka College. The game-winning shot came with 53 seconds left in overtime, when Johnell Hardin (Providence High School) hit a 3-pointer for his only points in 34 minutes of action.
"I was looking around for one of the better shooters on our team or our big man [Jametrius Brasher], who was the [conference tournament] Most Valuable Player," Hardin says. "They backed off me and I just shot it."
"He's like that," Gray says. "He's as clutch as they come."
Jametrius Brasher, the Male High School graduate who scored just four points in the first half, led the Golden Eagles with 20 points, six rebounds and six blocks. He said he and his teammates are playing for DeWhon McAfee, who was averaging a team-high of 21.3 points before injuring his left knee on a breakaway dunk against MacMurray on Feb. 4. Along with Brasher, the SLIAC all-tournament team includes senior Domonique Sangester (Louisville Eastern High School).
The entire NCAA Division III bracket is available online.

Jessica Jumps In: A Newbie's Sample Of Sons Of Anarchy
By Jessica Rawden 4 years ago comments
2. Quality Of Characters
The characters in Sons of Anarchy live by their own moral code. Despite the ties the club brings, they all have different outlooks. Theres Jax, the young hotheaded leader of the Sons, whos out to prove something and Gemma, the hard, loyal woman who cant let her piece of crap partner totally go (from my one viewing, I couldnt really tell whether she was married to him or not). They may look a little different than characters in other TV shows, but inherently the characters in Sons of Anarchy are as diverse as they are familiar, just like most good programs.
Which is why I would argue Sons of Anarchy relies more on its setting and backdrop to wow audiences and to supplement the quality of its characters. The show is set in the fictional town of Charming, with enough concrete and eyesore buildings to make the leather and chains of the gangs inhabiting the town look commonplace. Its an epic vision, and it makes the characters pop even more than a prettier setting might. Charming is not so charming, but its the perfect backdrop for a show that is almost as heart-wrenching as it is engaging.

Maybe. Look, there's a very mild development on the Alzheimer's front, which, in spite of being very minor, I'm very happy about.
According to USA Today:
Researchers announced Monday that an experimental Alzheimer's therapy has shown it slows the progression of the disease in people with mild cases, bringing them a "step closer" to finding the first treatment and to understanding a cause of the complex disease.
Academic researchers discussed the results of large studies on solanezumab, funded by Eli Lilly, and bapineuzumab, funded by Janssen Alzheimer Immunotherapy and Pfizer, at the American Neurological Association's 2012 Annual Meeting. The aim of both therapies is to remove beta amyloid from the brain. The sticky protein has long been thought to be a toxic substance that affects functioning of the brain — similar to how high cholesterol levels damage the heart…
Until now, researchers have only been able to theorize about the mechanisms of the disease. Research is also being conducted on other possible causes, including inflammation and tau, tangles of proteins thought to disrupt communication among neurons' pathways.
"We are encouraged by the results," said Maria Carrillo, vice president of medical and scientific relations for the Alzheimer's Association, an advocacy group. "It's not the home run we wanted to see but this is the first time we've seen a slowing of cognitive decline."
Ashley has already suggested that I begin taking this medication as a stunt piece.
I know about this because I google "Alzheimer's cure" approximately every three days. That's mostly because my family has feeble little brains. I find that periodically I do absent-minded professor things like forgetting to put my shoes back on after I've run them through the metal detector in the airport, and I always feel relieved that I am still in my 20′s, because I know 40 years from now that would be the kind of thing that would keep me awake at night.
Really, I would take any disease – any! – over Alzheimer's. Not just cancer, which I think I would be able to fight. It's obvious to pick cancer over Alzheimer's. I would take Ebola. Lou Gehrig's. Anything. My principal enjoyments are largely the things that Alzheimer's deprives you of the ability to do first, namely, reading, and writing (not 'rithmatic, admittedly.) One of the saddest pieces I read about a man developing Alzheimer's was that he kept the TV on in the background, but he couldn't follow plots, so it was really just like watching scenery from a train.
I hate watching scenery on trains. I always bring a book. My nightmare is being trapped on a flight – or, I suppose, a long train trip – without a book. I have always thought I could handle Lou Gehrig's disease with some modicum of dignity provided someone made sure AMC was on.
And that is simply the part of Alzheimer's where you're bored. That is not the part where you are frightened.

Biff Atlas
Biff Atlas, the Bodybuilder (Japanese: マッディー Maddī), is one of the many ghosts featured in Luigi's Mansion. His first name is a pun on "biff", which is slang meaning "to hit". His last name is based on Atlas, a titan from Greek Mythology who was forced to hold up the Sky.
When Luigi enters the Rec Room, Biff is focused on lifting a barbell, and does not attack Luigi. Luigi can either choose to provoke Biff to attack him, or just ignore Biff entirely, as Biff is one of the five optional gallery ghosts in Luigi's Mansion.
In order to provoke Biff, Luigi must smack one of the three nearby punching bags while avoiding its backswing, which can injure him. If aimed correctly, it hits Biff and causes him to attack Luigi by swinging his fists in a rage. One of Biff's punches causes Luigi to lose twenty HP. Luigi has to pound Biff two more times with a punching bag in order to expose Biff's heart. Before the third hit, Biff gets even angrier and starts whirling his arms. After his heart is exposed, Biff becomes vulnerable to the Poltergust 3000. If Luigi fails to catch him, Biff returns to weightlifting and Luigi must hit him with another punching bag to resume capturing him.
Names in other languages[edit]

The idea of a Paranormal Activity sequel was much more fun before all of this director swapping. First were told its Saw VI director Kevin Greutert and then he was pushed off the project to ensure hell be on board for Saw VII. Now theres a rumor that, oddly enough, the director of Scarface, Brian De Palma, could be the man for the job. Its a strangely beautiful possibility, but one of Paranormal Activitys stars, Micah Sloat, confirmed that no one has officially been selected.
When asked about the director drama by MTV on the red carpet for the Independent Spirit Awards, Sloat said, "I know a lot, I can't tell you--" but thankfully followed that up with, "Well, just a little." He continued, All I can tell you is I'm very excited for the project, it's really cool, it's gonna be really interesting and it's not gonna suck, which most horror sequels ... would. This is gonna be good. Theres some much needed reassurance! In regards to PA2s far more substantial budget as compared to the originals $11,000, Sloat explained, Well we have money now, but we're staying true to the heart of the movie, to the spirit of it, to the vision.
Now to the obvious question: Why is Sloat even talking about a sequel? Doesnt he not make it through the first? Perhaps the second film could actually be a prequel or maybe itll involve him and his demonic girlfriend terrorizing innocent victims. I say they seek revenge on that psychic for being so useless. The more logical possibility is that some other unsuspecting person being haunted seeks refuge on the Internet and finds the story of Micah and Katie, similar to the original.

100% possible. Honestly if you had planned on getting color in the first place, it would have looked very similar if not exactly the same to this before coloring.
Tattoos have three stages, lining, black shading, color. The color goes over the black shading.GoldenGonzo 08/21/2012
Absolutely! A GOOD artist can make anything happenOpiateCocktail 08/21/2012
That can easily be colored in; it's very light. Find a good shop and get a consultation. They'll tell you what they can do and go from there.trippindicular 08/21/2012
There's something awfully endearing about this tattoo. I hope it turns out well!Flint_Westwood 08/21/2012
Absolutely, have an artist take a look and he/she will give their recommendations on what do to, but you can do this without a doubt.sdelaney83 08/21/2012

Almost all of my colour tattoos started out with just outlines and shading, then sessions for layers and layers of colour. Enjoy your new tattoo!Malcolm1276 08/21/2012
Yeah, there is tons of potential for shading.[deleted] 08/21/2012
Dearest Brits (and all others who spell it "colour"),
