Voyage Of The Druid Blue
by Doragon Kishu
The Druid Blue (Backstory)
Tch'ahm Ba'er (Land Races & Characters)
Chapter I – To Tch'ahm Ba'er
Chapter II – Welcome To Hammen
CHAPTER III – Mercenaries
Aden, Blue and Rune sat in the well lit, and festive Hammen Inn.
It looked to be a very clean, and friendly place…
…and it was packed.
Never had Blue seen so many Gnomes…
They were everywhere.
But beyond that, there were 6 private boothes, black curtains drawn, as 5 of them were in use.
Other than that, there were two humans, one looked to be a fanciful Fighter, but wore a mask and hood…
…and another was hooded, and sat at the bar.
There was one more who had the look of a human, but not the scent nor feel, Blue's senses told her so.
Whether it was her Elvish, or Druid senses, or both.
Rune leaned over to Blue, as Aden ordered the three of them drinks.
"The Warrior looks to be a Dervish…" he spoke.
Blue in turn looked to be perplexed.
"A prestigious Fighter… Someone who demands, and receives respect," he explained.
Blue nodded in understanding.
"The hooded fellow at the bar I'm sure is a Ranger, judging by the long ash bow leaned against the counter next to him," he continued.
"But I can't get a reading on the third one."
"Lycanthrope I think…" suddenly inserted Blue…
…and with this the dark eyed stranger peered their way.
Blue merely nodded in knowing, and the stranger responded the same.
The drinks are served.
"So, tell me… How did my brother die…" speaks Aden grimly.
"I can't be sure… But it looked like he may have been ambushed by a party of four bandits or such," she replies.
"Hmm," Aden replies.
"Did your brother have any enemies?" Interjected Rune as he swallows down his goblet of wine in one gulp.
"Like I say… The life of an adventurer… Anything's possible."
"He said… He was trying to come and stop you from going to Tch'ahm Ba'er," she finished.
Aden merely looked at Blue at this.
"Why are you here Aden?" asked Blue.
Aden took a deep breath, and a swig of his ale.
"Originally me, and my two comrades Madrean, a Dragonborn Cleric, and a Warder Paladin of the Green Light Order named Sabre, were heading here together," he began.
"The three of you are adventuring here? Seeking treasure?" asked Blue.
"Basically…" Responds Aden.
"No disrespect, but I find it a bit odd a Paladin hunting for treasure…" interjects Rune.
"He's not… He's here for the Red Dragon Droah… He's pretty intense about Evil beings…" Aden explains.
"I see," replies Rune with a troubled brow.
"And he's protective of me and Madrean, who do hunt for treasure…" he continues.
"Madrean is a good being… But… He's a bit… Restless, I'll leave it at that…" he finishes.
"And on that note…" Aden stands.
"It's time I found them… In truth, they should have been registered here, in this Inn, but the Inn Keeper insures me they're not," he explains.
"Foul play?" questions Rune?
"I'm not sure… But I doubt it… I thank you Blue for my brother's sword… I am in your debt…" with this Aden bows, and leaves the tavern.
"What do you think?" asks Blue.
"My better judgment says we don't let a solo Archer head blindly into the hills of Hammen, which are very poorly protected by the way…" Rune replies.
"I tend to agree…" responds Blue.
She stands, "Do me a favor… Attempt to hire that Dervish and the Ranger…" She plops down a sack of 50 gold on the table.
"I'm going to speak to Aden."
Rune nods.
Blue steps outside and approaches her gear which is in a locked holding box outside the Inn.
She takes out a key and unlocks it.
From inside she pulls out a covered cage, and lifts the cover…
…within if is her grey falcon, NOR.
She quickly writes a note, takes Nor out of his cage, and puts it in one of his claws.
She makes a few screeching sounds, and Nor flies off.
Minutes later Rune steps outside with the Dervish behind him.
The Dervish takes off their mask and hood, and reveals that they are in fact a woman with short dark hair and violet eyes like a gypsy.
She gives Blue a broad smile.
"It went well," Blue says to Rune.
Rune smiles a third time in one day just as the Ranger steps outside his hood still drawn.
"It did…" responds Rune.

Commit to Health this New Year, NOT a Diet
I hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year so far! The New Year is a time of positive life changes and commitments to better yourself and your life.
2016 is about committing to health instead of a diet. It's about kicking emotional eating in the butt….for good! 15 years ago I made that decision, and I've never been happier or healthier.
I recovered. You can too.
This year choose your well-being over a diet. It's a BIG decision. But it's the one that truly matters. As an emotional eater, recovery is possible. Happiness is possible. Being healthy is possible.
Dieting isn't the answer. You don't need to be a prisoner of food. You can get healthy WITHOUT obsessing over calories, binge-eating, weighing yourself constantly, and sabotaging your health goals.
It'll be a challenge, but the best things in life don't come easily. I'm here to help.
Let's get you off that emotional eating rollercoaster. You can stop hiding your binge-eating stash. You can finally begin to feel less guilty about eating.
Be free of the scale, of calories, of your weight, and the voice in your head telling you you're not good enough.
You are capable of breaking free of problematic eating. Food is not the enemy.
Take control of your life. Do whatever it takes to get well. You deserve it.
Please watch my video below on how to stop food cravings…for good! :
Share your story with me. What's your biggest struggle as an emotional eater?

Bethany had everything you could ask for. A condo that was (almost) paid off, a well paying job, and most importantly, a family. It all changed in a heart beat and she had to watch as her whole world crumbled around her and soon she found herself alone in a city of flesh-eating zombies.
Despite the overwhelming odds against her, Beth has managed to do what very few people have been able to do in this post-apocalyptic nation.
She has survived.
However, after coming across a young man with an unexpected trait, she finds herself torn between staying in the comfort and safety of her current routine or risking it all for the greater good of humanity.
As expected, there will be blood, guts, bodies and other unsightly dead things, you have been warned!

Thanks so much for your patience this last week! You guys all rock.
Not surprisingly, Beth is not the sort to just leave horrible crunching noises and shrieking unknown, of course she's going to go look.
Magnus has seen enough horror movies to know this is a bad idea.

2019 marks our 40th year in business. Let us take you back to where it all began.
After negotiating the raucous demands of selling goods in London's Covent Garden Flower Market, Geoff Idle escaped to the country, largely unscathed.
At the age of 27, and with a new born baby on the way, the frenetic pace of market life gave way for a new job at the local garden centre near to his family home in Bexley, Kent.
After a few years learning the ropes (and more than a few plant names), and encouraged by his new employer, it wasn't long before Geoff bought himself a little Honda Acty van and took the plunge to go it alone.
This was back in 1978. The vision: to grow a business specialising in the supply and maintenance of interior and exterior plant displays.
A year later, G.I. Landscapes was born. "Yes, it's not the most imaginative name but it was borne out of necessity more than anything else," says Geoff. "A neighbour of mine, John Clayton, who set up Leonard Lifts, had to put something down on a joint quote we were working on to win a grounds maintenance contract for a few hospitals in East London. So, I stuck with the name purely for convenience."
Cold calling and word of mouth was the name of the game during that early period. And aided by his Dad, Fred Idle who worked a few days' a week – and a switch from the Honda to a Mazda pick-up truck – Geoff won many jobs in the centre of London. Hairdressers, car showrooms, West End restaurants, and the offices of airline firms (not least Iran Air) all wanted on-trend interior plant displays. And G.I. Landscapes delivered.
The business continued to grow during the 1980s. The grounds maintenance and landscaping side of the company became established, and Geoff took on his first full-time staff in Michael Garland.
The period also saw the company's foray into the estate agency market, winning a new contract to supply plants and a maintenance service for Jacksons Estate Agency, a burgeoning property firm that was about to engulf the South East.
By the late 1980s, Geoff and his family had moved out of Bexley to Wilmington, on the outskirts of Dartford. The site maintenance work grew thanks to an ongoing relationship with Crest Homes. Peter Stokes (senior) joined the ranks part-time.
And now, a team of three women (including Geoff's wife Diane), and two small vans were patrolling London and the South East, responsible for looking after the plants in some 50 Jacksons high street stores.
The 1990s saw another shift in the evolution of the business. Changing fashions (coupled with a general panic about corporate health and safety) saw a scaling back of interior plants. Now, the focus had switched.
The G.I. team, which now included Geoff's eldest son, 16 year-old Adam, spent more time designing, developing and maintaining show homes for new housing developments.
Helping private customers redevelop their gardens and look after them also became a major offering.
By the end of the decade, with Adam taking on more responsibility, the business continued to expand. Contracts with the likes of Sheraton Skyline Hotel at Heathrow and Crayford Motors saw a brief return to interiors, while the landscaping and maintenance service soared.
Fast forward to 2008, and Adam took over the reins of the business in earnest. It marked another significant shift for the company as he looked to further establish a bigger grounds maintenance service, while continuing to deliver amazing gardens for a wealth of customers.
In October 2010, G.I. Landscapes became a limited company.
Today, the business looks after more than 50 estates across Kent, Surrey, Essex and Greater London. Now, with 16 staff, eight vans, four maintenance teams, two landscaping teams, a project manager and contracts manager, the company continues to grow.
And the story continues.

COLEDALE Public School's Living Classroom was officially opened yesterday by Wollongong City Lord Mayor Gordon Bradbery.
The Living Classroom is an environmental education program where students are encouraged to grow a range of plants using permaculture principals to create an outdoor learning area.
The goals of the program are to teach students about the environment, how to care for, and protect, their environment, and to understand the principals of ecologically sustainable development.
Supported by the Illawarra Biodiversity and Local Food Strategy for Climate Change, this program is a partnership between Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama Councils. It's made possible with assistance from the NSW Government's Environmental Trust.
"This is such a great initiative," Lord Mayor Bradbery said.
"While it's essential students are taught to read and write, education isn't just what happens in a classroom. These students are learning the whole time they're out in this Living Classroom. Whether they're digging in the garden, planting vegetable seedlings or tasting school-grown fruit, they're taking in vital life skills and are learning about how to look after themselves, and their environment."
Coledale Public School's Living Classroom is the third in the Illawarra. Mt Terry and Kiama Public Schools have also launched their gardens.

Carnival Freedom
Year built: 2007
Speed: 21 kn
Passengers: 2,974
Crew: 1,150
110k tons
14 decks
The Carnival Freedom currently sails 6 to 8 night Western and Eastern Caribbean cruises from Galveston, Texas.
On November 14, 2007, a small fire broke out on crew deck 2 in the linen room, but was quickly extinguished, and without injuries.
On February 6, 2010, two intoxicated Carnival Shore Excursions staff members caused a fire in their cabin. The fire didn't spread to other rooms, and was quickly extinguished by a duty personnel using wet towel. Both members were removed from their cabin and relieved of all duties. Both members were discharged from service.
On June 25, 2011, en-route to homeport Port Everglades, the ship suffered total power loss due to emergency generator failure. Investigation showed the incident was caused by fuel pollution. Teh problem was fixed after the crew cleaned the filters, started the purifiers, and added chemical agents to fuel tanks.
On August 21, 2011, upon entering home port Fort Lauderdale, crew was conducting various CFR tests when the ship suddenly lost propulsion due to propulsion motors' breakers tripped. The system was reset and tested again. Testing showed a bad thyristor was causing an erratic current in the bridge. Upon departure, engineering staff loaded new software into all PECs, 4 pulse energy converters.
In April of 2009, a 30-year-old male crew sexually assaulted a 14-year-old female passenger. The man worked on the ship as a bartender. During dinner time, the girl was alone in her family's cabin, when he entered the room, took her to a crew-only room, and raped her. The girl told her mother about the incident 1 year later. On June 2, 2010 the man was arrested and charged with sexual abuse of a minor. In May he was indicted in federal court in Orlando, Floridq, and in September sentenced to 3 years in jail after pleading guilty.
On January 11, 2010, while the ship was en-rote to Key West from home port from Port Everglades, a male passenger was found dead. The medical staff performed CPR but, resuscitation was unsuccessful. The man's family reported later a preexisting medical condition, a history of heart problems.
On June 21, 2011, a male passenger committed suicide, using leather belt in his cabin. The man was found by his family, after the cabin's door was opened by a member of security staff.
On May 10, 2012, a female passenger died in her cabin. She was found by her husband. Medical staff attempted CPR, but were unsuccessfull. The woman suffered from a preexisting medical condition.
On August 29, 2012, a male passenger died at the ship's infirmary. When he visited the on board hospital, he was suffering from severe abdominal pains, also from vomiting and nausea. His condition worsened and he stopped breathing. They performed CPR, but it was unsuccessful.
On December 4, 2012, a male passenger died in his cabin. His wife disembarked the same day, while the body remained on the ship until cruise completion.
On February 8, 2011, a male passenger became unconsciousness at the ship's casino while playing on a slot machine. He was treated by emergency medical staff, then disembarked in Key West, and transferred to Lower Keys Medical Center.
On March 13, 2011, a female passenger took some Aspirin to alleviate cramping and later vomited blood. She had to be medevaced via USCG Helicopter to Key West and transferred to Lower Keys Medical Center.
On September 21, 2012, a female passenger suffered an injury to her right knee and patella. She fell after slipping on tile floor upon entering one of the public restrooms. The broken knee was immobilized and she continued the cruise.

For the second time in two months, someone who has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State has plotted to kill innocents in New York City and has executed his plot.
According to police, at the height of the Monday morning rush hour this week, in an underground pedestrian walkway that I have used many times, in the middle of Manhattan, a permanent legal resident of the United States named Akayed Ullah detonated a bomb he had strapped to his torso in an effort to kill fellow commuters and disrupt massively life in New York.
The bomb was inartfully constructed, and it injured slightly four people nearby and Ullah himself seriously. He survived, was captured on the spot and is now in the joint custody of the New York Police Department and the FBI in the prison ward of Bellevue Hospital.
Ullah's wounds had barely been addressed by emergency room physicians when the calls began to resonate in the government and in the media to strip him of his constitutional rights and ship him to a military facility in South Carolina or at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
These voices argued without access to any evidence that because the Islamic State is a foreign power with an army that has sworn to do harm to Americans and destroy our way of life, its soldiers have no constitutional protections when they go about their destruction. Ullah is a soldier of this foreign army, this argument goes, and should be treated as a soldier under the Geneva Conventions. That means he should be removed from the civilian judicial system and interrogated and tried by the military.

Best Price: $3.77
Buy New $3.77

New study finds that technology doesn't necessarily help education
Many online and blended learning advocates talk about how education technology isn't a silver bullet that automatically improves education. In fact, sometimes it seems like that point is such a commonly repeated part of our rhetorical playlist that most people must be tired of hearing it. Apparently that's not the case, however, as the Center for American Progress published a study coming to this same conclusion, and the New York Times deemed it worthy of referencing in an article. Key points from the study include:
"Far too often, school leaders fail to consider how technology might dramatically improve teaching and learning, and schools frequently acquire digital devices without discrete learning goals and ultimately use these devices in ways that fail to adequately serve students, schools, or taxpayers."
The study doesn't discount the potential of education technology, and mentions online schools as "offering students more course and curriculum options than conventional schools." However, "it is clear that we are not approaching technology with an eye toward improving educational delivery. In too many schools computers appear to be an add-on rather than a true lever for change."
The report concludes "we have not done enough to consider new models of educational delivery nor have we thought enough about ways to create a performance-based culture. This needs to change. Technology can kickstart the process of leveraging new reforms and learning strategies, and we hope that this report serves as a much-needed wake-up call."
These ideas are not new to online and blended learning practitioners and advocates, but we are always glad to hear these themes being raised by people and organizations who are speaking from different backgrounds, and to varied audiences.

Wythenshawe Park Greenhouses — near Manchester
A corker of a post today; the rather weathered community green house in Wythenshawe Park, just south of Manchester. It's a really wild space and satisfies our appreciation for 'weeds' and those ever-reaching arms of the natural world that like to show us who's boss.
The greenhouses in Wythenshawe Park are free to enter (we didn't see another soul but loved the evidence of volunteers that we found in the form of the upturned boots drying out on the fence!)

By Dr Neha Pathak (@nxpathak), who is currently based at Queen Mary University. Come and meet Neha tomorrow, 2-5pm, on the South Bank, where Neha will talk about "Peeing to prevent cancer: the secrets of your urine "
"When I grow up, I want to be an explorer so that I can discover mountains and find out how snow is made." So reads one of my entries into my decaying primary school exercise book. I didn't quite "discover" mountains, but I did discover that science is the work of the modern day explorer.
I work as a clinical academic in obstetrics and gynaecology at Queen Mary University of London. This means I split my time as an NHS trainee obstetrician and gynaecologist (think high risk pregnancies and any disease affecting the reproductive system) and as a scientist in epidemiology of women's health.
My research interests are varied, but ultimately aim to prevent disease, support vulnerable women and reduce health inequalities. I study the effectiveness of urine tests for cervical cancer screening, the health consequences of sexual violence, and the way we deliver sexual health services.
Combining work as a frontline doctor with research addressing the bigger picture is a huge honour and very satisfying. No day is ever the same. One minute you are dealing with a life or death situation, and another you are learning to code so that you can process data more quickly. For me variety is the spice of life, and I definitely get that.
More importantly, however, my clinical work continually highlights new questions that need to be explored. Whilst working in Madagascar, I saw women presenting with late stage cervical cancer – enormous tumours that needed complicated operations that would not necessarily cure it. I felt so utterly depressed by it – cervical cancer is a preventable disease. The smear test has worked wonders for reducing rates of cervical cancer in the UK ( #smearforsmear #nofeargosmear #wedidn'thavehashtagswheniwasatmedschool). Why were we not managing that here?? But the eureka moment came. Women simply can't access doctors or nurses to take the samples, so we need do-it-yourself tests. Well, if we can have DIY furniture then we should definitely be able to have DIY testing. Suddenly, I was studying urine tests for the virus that causes cervical cancer and working with inspiring scientists to show that the tests are better than we has realised. They still need refining but self-testing seems to be the future and it's very exciting to be a part of it!
Do I need to convince you more to become a scientist??
Medicine is increasingly female dominated with at least 60% of all medical students being women today. However, the number of females leading their field as doctors or professors in medical specialties is still out of proportion to the number of women in the field. My advice to any woman embarking on such a career is to find what you're passionate about, find a great mentor who you can be open and honest with, and just give it your all. I'm pleased to be a part of the new wave of female academics but we will always need more and that's why I wanted to shout about how great it is at Soapbox Science.

Driven by their online buying experiences, savvy business to business (B2B) buyers are demanding omni-channel capabilities when making work-related purchases.In August 2014, Accenture and hybris software, an SAP company, commissioned a study by Forrester Consulting to explore how B2B buyer expectations are transforming how suppliers sell and deliver products and services.
Forrester's study yielded four key findings:• High customer expectations have led B2B firms to shift toward rich omni-channel experiences.• Providing a comprehensive omni-channel experience helps ensure customer loyalty. • Merchants will fall behind if they fail to adapt their technology to buyer needs.• Technology investment must be aligned with organizational and process change.

Billy Thomas's Ridler-Winning 1939 Olds could just be the greatest hot rod ever built.
The Oldsmobile emblems on the center caps don't care how fast the wheels are turning. Since they ride on floater bearings they always point right-side up…standing still or moving down the highway. It's something 99 percent of observers would never even notice, but miniscule, seemingly insignificant details like this are a big deal to Customs and Hot Rods of Andice and at the core of any car wishing to win the coveted of all awards…the Detroit Autorama's Don Ridler Memorial Award.
By applying this same level of painstaking detail to every square millimeter of a Billy Thomas's 1939 Oldsmobile, CHRA didn't just build a car that could win the Ridler. They built a car that did win the Ridler.
That's not blatant sensationalism. It's not click-bait, either. We're merely echoing the words of Detroit Autorama judges, who felt that the Olds was the closest thing to perfection they had ever seen. That may seem like an outrageously bold declaration, but all doubts melt away instantaneously the moment anyone directs their gaze on the Olds.
Even before CHRA transformed the Olds into a stunning manifestation of coach-built craftsmanship, it was already an incredibly rare car. By some accounts, Oldsmobile never built a 1939 Series 60 convertible. By other accounts, Billy's Olds is the only convertible of its kind in existence. "Some people say that this car shouldn't exist, but the title and the frame say otherwise. Hardly any of these cars survived because they were entry level models built in very low volume," says Billy.
Interestingly, Billy wasn't exactly looking for a unicorn when he stumbled upon the Olds. "I'm real anal about reading every ad in the newspaper. Someone was selling a bunch of random things they didn't need, and buried in the middle of the ad was the Olds," Billy recalls. "He was the original owner, and he hadn't driven the car since 1970. After talking to him for an hour, he knew I was the right person to take the car to the next level. I always wanted to build car to compete for Ridler. I didn't know how I was going to get there, but as soon as I found this car I knew it was the one."
Unfortunately for Billy, not everyone shared his enthusiasm. After pitching his plan to several of the most prominent hot rod builders in the industry, only to get turned down, Billy's patience started wearing thin. "I was so pissed I was breathing fire. I have no idea why these builders turned me away," says Billy. "They just weren't interested in building a 1939 Olds. The first shop I found nearly destroyed the car. They put me in touch with Harold Chapman at CHRA, and everyone at his shop went gaga once they realized they had the opportunity to build such a rare car for Ridler. After I met the guys at the shop and saw their work, I knew they had some serious talent."
Combing that talent with complete creative control set the stage for what's arguably the most incredible hot rod ever conceived. "I wanted to maintain the Oldsmobile character throughout the car, but I didn't have a firm path. I was adamant about wanting a Joe Mondello big-block Olds engine, but otherwise, I was very open to the shop's ideas and I gave them free reign," Billy recounts.
As luck would have it, CHRA just happened to have an incredible stylist named Christian Dotson on staff, who cut his teeth working for a quaint little company called General Motors. "We really didn't want to use the front grille, but Billy felt that it set the tone for the rest of the car. Christian carved the entire design of the car from foam," Michael Kaiser of CHRA explains. "Everyone at the shop is very open-minded and they appreciate a diverse range of cars, so we pulled inspiration from trucks, low riders, and even European cars. The long hood and wheelbase we came up with for the Olds has a lot of European influence. If you're willing to draw inspiration from multiple genres and mash them all up, then crazy things can happen."
Over the course of three years, CHRA methodically reshaped each body panel until the only original piece left was a tiny section of the decklid. Compared to stock, the finished product looks as if someone heated up all the sheetmetal with a giant torch, and leaned the entire body back with a giant gust of wind. "We didn't want to build a '40 Ford lookalike. The roof profile, stance, wheelbase, bumpers, hood, and cut lines have been dramatically changed," Michael explains. "The wheelbase has been stretched three to four inches, the doors and hood have been lengthened, and the front and rear fenders are completely different than the originals. There's a lot of stuff meeting at the grille. Dialing in the transition from the grille to the fenders, the hood to the cowl, and the parting line of headlight buckets to the fenders was very unforgiving."
On the surface, the Olds' stretched, chopped, and slammed physique suggests that it's merely a modernized avatar of its former self. Dig deeper, however, and the mirage of contemporary flair gives way to styling cues that defined the glorious art deco era from which it hails. "Since we wanted to radically change the body, 90 percent of the sheetmetal has been reshaped. On the other hand, if you look at a lot of Harley Earl's designs from this time period that never made it into production, they look a lot crazier than this car," Michael remarks. "We used a lot of restraint in the car's overall design. We wanted to make it look like a concept car from its era that really pushed the boundaries of design, like something that would have been on display at the 1939 World's Fair."
Just as CHRA intended, despite how radically modernized the Olds' sheetmetal may be, it still maintains a distinct connection to its past. "The way the front fenders flare out into the running boards with a reverse curve is similar to a stock 1939 Olds. The doors are longer, but similar in shape to stock," Michael point out. "The headlight buckets and hood ornament are inspired by the stock pieces as well. We took the 'Winged Spur' emblem that Oldsmobile used in the '20s and '30s, scaled it up, and made it look like a gold shield. The more you look at some of art deco styling cues on this car, the more you realize it looks like stock."
Ultimately, when attempting to cram so many fine details into a single feature article, it's impossible to adequately give due credit to each design element of the car. Charley Hutton's Color Studio laid the breathtakingly gorgeous Kona Brown paint, a custom mix that looks gold, silver, tan, pewter, green or brown depending on how the photons interact with its ultra-fine metal flake. Jay Schluter gets credit for stitching together an interior that's as stunning as the sheetmetal surrounding it. CHRA manually machined the custom shifter on a lathe, and Greening Auto CNC-cut the custom one-piece wheels and the steering wheel. Under the hood, a fuel injected 470ci Modello big-block wears custom Greening valve covers, and is topped by a CNC Wilson intake manifold that's been block sanded smooth with 450-grit. It's fed by twin throttle-bodies and custom air cans, and it sends 650 hp to a Bowler 4L60E auto and a Winters mini-banjo rearend.
Although it would have been easy to cut corners on the bottom-side of the car, that's not how CHRA rolls. The Olds rides on a modified Morrison chassis featuring twin A-arms up front and a four-link in the rear. "We could have built another car with the time we spent cutting, polishing, gapping, and custom machining parts for the undercarriage. The custom steering rack cover and brake backing plates are cool touches, and every visible fastener is custom 12-point acorn bolt," says Michael.
Strangely, experiencing the Olds is a see-saw of emotions that's both mesmerizing and unexpectedly somber. Everyone wants to think that the best is yet to come, that the pinnacle of achievement lies somewhere in the future, a place everyone can dream of reaching someday. However, once you've conquered Mt. Everest, where do you go from there? There's nothing left to look up to. There's no higher peak to aspire to climb.
Like Everest, the Olds is a wonder of the world whose beauty defies time, whose relevance triumphs over future trends, whose proximity to the heavens is unrivaled by anything else on Earth. Unlike Everest, however, the pinnacle of hot rodding expression is a moving target that's not bound by plate tectonics or geological time. It's limited only by creativity and imagination. Fortunately for hot rodders, CHRA is already hard at work trying to win another Ridler by sweating out miniscule, seemingly insignificant details one square millimeter at a time.
Dream Team
Talk to anyone at CHRA about Billy Thomas's 1939 Olds, and they're quick to deflect credit to everyone around them. This humility combined with extraordinary fabrication ability is what made winning Ridler possible. "This car is all about the group of guys that came together to build it. Everyone on our crew works at the top of their game, but we're willing to learn from each other, listen to feedback, redo things when we have to, and keep each other in check," says Michael Kaiser.
Not surprisingly, CHRA Owner Harold Chapman, wanted to make sure each of his guys got due credit for their contributions. The crew members include Levi Green, Alex Feldhege, Dean Kelly, Greg Yoakum, Brad Barker, Matthew Harris, Lance Nelson, Gary Massengill, Mike Peters, Christian Dotson, and Jay Schluter. CHRA would also like to thank Detail Mold and Design for making countless custom and CNC components used throughout the entire car.

Meet our Board Members: Danielle San Filippo
Danielle San Filippo is on our General Board, representing the Metro region. She is on staff at Community Farmers Market (CFM) as the Director of Operations. It is through her love of local, fresh, healthy food that she became involved in the market community. Community Farmers Market includes six different Farmers Markets around the city of Atlanta, in all sorts of locations!
Why did you join GFMA?
I joined GFMA because I believe that all people should have access to healthy, nutritious food that also nourishes our environment and economy. Farmers markets make this happen! Strong, sustainable farmers markets offer good food in community-oriented spaces while keeping the money in the neighborhoods the markets serve.
Why do you think others should join GFMA?
Collective knowledge building is a powerful tool for affecting positive change in your community. By joining GFMA you can help inform decisions made for and about farmers, farmers markets, and food access. The more people and organizations who join GFMA the better we can serve the Georgia farmers market community.
As a board member, how do you support the work of GFMA?
I want to do anything GFMA needs me to do. At my own markets we will be promoting GFMA's mission and programming opportunities throughout the season. I am encouraging farmers, customers, coworkers, and friends to join GFMA and to share their hopes and dreams for farmers markets in the state of Georgia.
What is the name of your market, and where is it located?
Community Farmers Markets, in both Atlanta and Decatur, GA
When is it open?
Ponce City Farmers Market, 4pm-8pm, May 3 - December 20
Decatur Wednesday Farmers Market, 4pm-7pm, March 30 - December 21
East Atlanta Farmers Market, 4pm-8pm, March 31 - December 22
Decatur Saturday Farmers Market, 9am-1pm, April 2 - December 17
Grant Park Farmers Market, 9:30am-1:30pm, April 3 - December 18
Westside Farmers Market, 10am-2pm, April 10 - December 18
What does your market sell?
Locally grown produce, meat, eggs, cheeses, bread, pastries, chocolate and other sweets, coffee, juice, honey, jams and jellies, pickles and preserves, mustards, vinegars, grains, crackers, kombucha, oils, soaps, body products, jewelry, handmade artisan goods, cleaning products, pet food, and more!
How many vendors does your market have?
Community Farmers Markets will host 131 vendors between our 6 farmers markets in 2016.
What GFMA benefit are you most excited about implementing at your market?
Tater Tats. They are so cute y'all!
What do you think are the greatest needs in your community that your market helps to address?
Food access is the greatest area of need in Metro-Atlanta. By offering the "Double Your SNAP Dollars" program at our markets and conducting extensive community outreach in the areas people live, work, and play. Community Farmers Markets works to overcome barriers for food access in the neighborhoods our markets operate.
What's the most exciting progress you saw in 2015?
Many struggling farmers markets found their footing in 2015 and are now set up for long-term sustainability. So many more restaurants began sourcing locally in 2015 as well, which is very exciting.
What do you hope to see happen in 2016?
I want to see more professional development opportunities for small-scale farmers and small business owners in 2016. Sustainable small businesses and strong, established, organic farms are the way to ensure a successful, healthy future.
What advice would you give to new farmers who want to sell at markets?
Get to know your fellow (non-farmer) vendors. These are the people who want to be using your produce in their product. Any opportunity for collaboration and cross-promotion is another opportunity to sell your produce. Also, diversify!
What advice would you give to groups wanting to start a market?
Do a lot of research- there are more financial costs behind starting a market than most people realize. The most important research you can do is to hit the pavement and speak with the people who live and work in the community to discover what their hopes and dreams are for a farmers market in their neighborhood. The most successful farmers markets are those that are 100% rooted in all aspects of their community.
Do you have a family recipe to share?
My favorite summer recipe is sliced tomatoes, sliced peaches, chopped basil, local burrata cheese, with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic reduction. Balsamic reduction is just a few tablespoons of balsamic vinegar with 1 tablespoon of fatty oil (butter, olive oil, etc.) cooked over medium-low heat in a saucepan until the amount of vinegar is reduced by half. This is such an easy, delicious, refreshing recipe for summer that also highlights many of Georgia's best produce.

Sex addict Tiger Woods has been accused of cheating on his girlfriend leading to the break up of their three year relationship.
Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn last week announced she and the former world number one split due to their "incredibly hectic lives" and that their schedules stopped them from seeing each other.
The 14 times major winner backed up her statement on his own website adding: "I have great admiration, respect and love for Lindsey and I'll always cherish our time together.
"Unfortunately, we lead very hectic lives and are both competing in demanding sports. It's difficult to spend time together."
But according to reports in the US the relationship went downhill after Tiger allegedly confessed he had strayed with a "faceless, nameless woman" in February.
His alleged cheating took place after he missed the cut at San Diego-based Farmer's Insurance Classic tournament.
Whereas while married to wife Elin Nordegren he hid his infidelity sources close to the golfer claim he allegedly confessed his indiscretion to Lindsey as they attended a "therapy session".
The couple had been convinced to seek help by the wife of another unnamed golf pro but it was claimed Woods had stopped going when he allegedly cheated.
But he later had a change of heart and after Vonn initially refused to attend the counselling sessions Wood convinced her to go with him.
During the meeting he allegedly confessed to his cheating but the move backfired and brought about the demise of their relationship.
"She didn't walk out of the session, but she walked out on him," a close friend is said to have claimed.
Following the announcement of the break up Woods admitted he was having sleepless nights and said it had been "tough".
"Obviously it does affect me," he said. "It is tough. There's no doubt. I'm not going to lie about that.
"I haven't slept these three days."
Woods's clean cut image came crashing down in 2009 when it emerged he had numerous affairs behind Elin's back.
He had been having a long term relationship with his mistress, New York City nightclub manager Rachel Uchitel, which once revealed led to an avalanche of other woman coming forward.
During the scandal former Hollywood madame Michelle Braun, claimed he paid upwards of £25,000 for six "pay-for-sex dates" between 2006 and 2007.
His affairs led to a costly divorce but also signified a dire drop in form from which he has never recovered from.
Woods is reported to have paid out almost £500 million in his settlement with Elin, 35, in return for her never speaking about their ill fated marriage.
Vonn, 30 began dating Woods in March 2013, a month after she crashed of the World Championships with a devastating injuries to her right knee which ruled her out of the Sochi Olympics.
She was the former world number's first serious girlfriend had had since his cheating was exposed.
A spokesman for Woods was unavailable for comment.

Some families are happy with a dog, cat, bird, or even a fish. However, for Gloria Kim and her children, they decided to get a pet skunk. The animal is housebroken and walks in the neighborhood on a leash. For those wondering, there is no odor because the skunk, named Seven, underwent surgery to take care of the stench the animals are famous for. Also, it is legal in New Jersey to have a skunk as a pet.
According to CBS New York, Gloria Kim and her family brought a skunk into their home. The idea of having the animal as a pet came to her after Kim saw an albino skunk in an exotic pet store. She "just had to have one" and placed an order to have her very own pet skunk. When asked why she chose this particular animal, Gloria said because it's unique.
"Beautiful hair. Temperament is very beautiful. He's so cute, he's like a little baby."
The exotic pet store where Seven was purchased told the website that it is legal to have a pet skunk. However, owners have to get a permit from the New Jersey Divison of Fish and Wildlife. Store manager Megan Zayatz said the permit costs about $12 per year.
As for the stinking odor that skunks are known for, Gloria Kim doesn't have to worry about that. Seven underwent surgery to remove the scent glands. This prevents the animal from releasing the odor. Iowa State University published a report on descented skunks and apparently, it is becoming more common for people to buy skunks to have as pets.
"The descented skunk has emerged as a pet which can best be described as a conversational piece. When tamed adequately, it makes a pet which is safe, lovable, and above all novel, and exclusive."
Lodi Family Cares For Pet Skunk https://t.co/RxFwMEQapV #Lodi #LodiNJ— EyeOnLodi (@LodiNJNews) June 11, 2017
While that takes care of the smell, some animal advocates think it is cruel and inhumane. PBS explained that without scent glands, skunks have no protection and are defenseless.
"The most notable difference between wild and domestic skunks is the lack of scent glands. Domesticated skunks are descented when they are between two and five weeks of age, and grow up 'unarmed.' While a relatively simple procedure, there is some debate as to whether or not descenting skunks is humane. Some argue that a descented skunk has unfairly been stripped of its natural defenses."
New Jersey Family Welcomes Pet Skunk Into Their Home - CBS New York https://t.co/lam4l42dL0 pic.twitter.com/i7gmw96fP7— Pets Newz (@Pets_Newz) June 10, 2017
The website also noted that the descented skunk is put in danger if it is ever abandoned, lost, or gets out of the house.
"If a pet skunk is let out of the house or escapes, it may be in grave danger. Skunks can travel several miles a day, and unless found, a lost pet skunk is in trouble. Unlike cats and dogs, domesticated skunks lack homing instincts to find their way back. In addition, only skunks born in the wild learn the skills necessary to forage and hunt. Finally, without scent glands, domesticated skunks have no way to protect themselves from predators. Still, their biggest threat is the same as that facing wild skunks — cars. Motor vehicles are responsible for more skunk deaths each year than any other factor including disease, persecution by humans, and the rabies virus."
Despite all of this, Gloria Kim loves her pet skunk. She says he does not shed and goes to the restroom in a litter box or on "wee wee pads." However, before running out to get your own pet skunk, keep in mind that only 17 states allow it.
What do you think of people having skunks as pets? Would you ever buy or adopt one for your family?

hey, remember this? i finally redyed it this weekend. i used 24 more packets of blue raspberry something or other koolaid and ended up with this. 980 or so yards of henry's attic texas, a mohair/wool blend. the kettle dyeing produced very uneven coloring. some parts are super bright while others are almost undyed. i was thinking about using it to make the rebecca wrap cardi from issue 29. i'm not sure when i'll get around to it, but certainly not before the yarn stops smelling fruity.
my birthday package from my dad and stepmom arrived yesterday afternoon. they sent me two advanced knitting books, ethnic socks and stockings and the knitter's best of shawls and scarves. both books are slightly daunting, but i think it's because there's more descriptions of technique and less strict patterns. i hope to grow into these one day. just browsing through the pictures scares me a little, but in a good way.
my grandma sent me a birthday card and letter. the card was very cute and sweet of her. she asked me to send her a photo of myself (which i don't have--ever notice how after high school you just don't take nice pictures of yourself until you get married?) so to tide her over, i made her a ballband dishcloth from mason-dixon knitting. i used 2 colors of stash sugar n cream cotton and #7 denise circs. i also finally used the personalized labels that my roommate gave me awhile back. i really stink at handsewing.

MC Machinery Systems' LUMEX Avance-25 is a magical machine. It represents a new direction for 3-D printing into the industrial world, one that could bring it one step closer to basic machine shop viability: additive machining.
The LUMEX is a metal laser-sintering hybrid milling machine – a market still too new to warrant an acronym or less clunky description.
It remains one of the only machines in the world capable of one-machine, one-process manufacturing of complex molds and parts by mixing metal laser sintering (3-D SLS) technology with high-speed milling.
The machine builds up layers of additively manufactured parts from a powder bed and then pulls in a series of tools to mill, grind and tool each layer to ensure perfect spec.

Hyve-3D provides a new immersive interface for 3D content creation
Published 13 August 2014
Posted by Stephen Holmes
Hyve-3D is an interesting new project to come out of the University of Montreal, allowing 3D content creation via embodied and collaborative 3D sketching, taking you into the 3D model itself.
Lead researcher Professor Tomás Dorta, of the university's School of Design, explained from its presentation at Siggraph: "The system is a full scale immersive 3D environment. Users create drawings on hand-held tablets. They can then use the tablets to manipulate the sketches to create a 3D design within the space."
The tablets are hooked up to the high resolution projector running off a standard MacBook, displaying in realtime across the projection of the image onto a five metre diameter spherically-concave screen, via a domed mirror. In short - it's cheap and cheerful.

I enjoyed this one, it was a great for a quick Saturday afternoon read.
It starts off with Tina who is struggling to make her marriage to Nick work under an enormous stress after the death of a loved one. She decides that she can't be the only one to fight for her relationship any longer so makes the decision to file for divorce.
Two years later, she finds herself assigned as a Paramedic working at the same station house that Nick is a fire fighter at. This makes things a bit awkward but they decide not to tell anyone that they were once married and try and be professional about their work situation as best they can.
Trouble is, the chemistry between them is still hot and Tina starts to see the old Nick shining through and they once again struggle with their feelings towards one another.
"For a moment, no matter how brief, my Nick's back and he's loving me like he would have before everything went to shit.
And for this brief moment, I'm going to live here and only here."
_ _ _ _
What I liked most about this story was the chemistry, there were some fabulous steamy moments and I was rooting for them to get back together.
Nick was obviously struggling with his grief and Tina bailed on him when he needed her most, and I would have loved for that to be expanded on. He and Tina never really discussed the reasons why he couldn't be intimate or feel like he couldn't lean on her in the wake of his best friends death, and I really missed that emotional connection in this story.
Still, I enjoyed it and would be happy to read other books by this author.
Told in dual POV, this is a standalone, quick and easy read.

Questions & Answers
Can you eat before a yoga class?
Like swimming's rule of never eating before swimming, can you eat before a yoga class or is it best to eat a meal afterwards?
Asked by charleymarley

Rebecca Urban Oasis
Hi It is advised that you don't eat for at least one hour before a yoga session or preferably up to 2 or more. This is due to the comfort in positions especially twists and inversions work but also to allow the pran - life force that is created during these postures to move easily through the physical and energy body. The body can concentrate on using this energy for rebalancing and healing the body rather than on digestion etc.
Hope this helps!

I love this I am making it as I type for the second time. Great flavor only things I do different..... add a garlic clove and 1 tablespoon of old bay!!! Yummy!!!
This recipe is EXCELLENT! Simple and simply delicious. I didn't change a thing and my entire family LOVED the shrimp.
This recipe was SO EASY that it's hard to believe it was SO GOOD!! My whole family LOVED it (even the kids). I halved the recipe, and still had plenty of stock left for soup or gumbo. I will ...
This was great! I didn't have any onions, but I will definitely try it with them next time. I cut way back on the butter, mainly because I served them with clarified butter. I also added garlic ...
So easy! I used less butter and waited to salt the broth only after it was ready. I didn't let it stand for half an hour. I recommend having some crusty french bread handy for the broth!

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- It started with Internet companies, then spread to broader technology firms and the rest of the manufacturing industry, and after the terrorist attacks last month, to the airlines and leisure businesses.
Now Wall Street, already shaken to the core by the destruction of the Twin Towers and the loss of thousands of lives, is facing the specter of global retrenchment as the economy sinks.
With more than a million people already laid off this year and the nation struggling to cope with grief and panic following the Sept. 11 attacks, investment banks have begun what could be the biggest round of job cuts since the stock market crash of 1987.
Goldman Sachs GS, +0.03%, which slashed scores of jobs earlier this week in what employees are calling the new "Black Monday," could well exceed the 400 cuts it was reported to be considering if its advisory and underwriting businesses remain weak.
Morgan Stanley MWD, -0.21% and Credit Suisse First Boston are slicing another 3,500 jobs between them. And now Merrill Lynch MER, -1.02%, the largest securities company in the world, is weighing plans to cull its thundering herd by as many as 10,000 after its mauling by the bear market.
At one point last month, in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, someone floated the idea that Wall Street's titans might refrain from large-scale layoffs near-term because of the impact it would have on morale coming so soon after the tragedy.
Not true. If anything, the impact of the attacks on the economy and the financial markets cemented plans in the minds of investment banking executives to cut back now because of the effect the attacks might have on prolonging the economic and market recoveries.
Wall Street is neither compassionate nor hesitant when it comes to cutting jobs to save money. But it is often wrong.
Like the buying and selling in the markets it is built around, the securities industry's employment levels swing like a pendulum between overstaffed and understaffed.
At the moment, with its high-margin businesses like mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings pretty much at a dead stop, the Street is feeling decidedly overstaffed. But history shows, both in late 1987 and in the cuts of 1994 during the Mexican financial crisis, the industry overdid it and was caught flatfooted when the markets rebounded.
The events of the last six weeks have left everybody depressed and uncertain. Stocks tank with every new anthrax scare, and the flood of earnings reports this month offers little encouragement about the prospects for a recovery before the middle of next year. I think the market will retest last month's lows sometime in the next few weeks.
But just as it looks like it can't get any worse, a curious thing has begun happening. Some of the trading companies are starting to report an increase in activity among long-dormant investors. Big retail brokerages such as Charles Schwab SC.H, +0.00% and Datek notched increases in average daily trading, both in September and again in October. See full story.
And when the next decline in stocks comes, it might be deep but it is going to be short-lived. People are simply tired of selling, as you can see from the rush to stocks we've experienced in the last few weeks.
Investment bankers and financial advisers aren't the most popular breed of folk right now. They rank somewhere between journalists and mail carriers in terms of people you want to hear from.
But if the big investment banks get as panicked as many of the companies they advise and start indiscriminately cutting of vast swaths of staffs, they're going to make the nation's economic problems worse, not better.
Now is not the time to panic. Wall Street should know that better than anybody.

How To Add A Bit of Spring In Your Home
Spring is absolutely my favourite season. It's the sign that the miserable part of winter (all winter post xmas when there is nothing to look forward to) is over, and summer is well on it's way. Magnolia trees, cherry blossom, bluebells, daffodils, hyacinths, warmer temperatures, lighter evenings - spring is bloody amazing!
Because spring is so exciting, at this time of year I always want to reflect this season in my home. Bringing 'the outdoors indoors' is also a big interior trend for 2016..Read More

No two customers are exactly alike. But you'd think they were, given the products you'll find on offer at your local grocer or in the pages of your suppliers' catalogues. Thanks to the "miracle" of mass production, for decades consumers and businesses have been forced to put up with goods that don't meet their exact needs or to give up on some purchases altogether—both to the detriment of the companies that want their cash.
But now a new miracle is being performed by progressive firms across the business spectrum: mass personalization. Also known as mass customization, it's the process in which companies allow clients to tailor products—from jewelry to pet food—to their personal needs without paying "custom-made" prices. And it gives companies new opportunities to differentiate their products and claim customers that won't settle for "one size fits all."
Several factors are driving this trend. The rise of broadband Internet has made it easier for consumers to access online customization tools and upload personal graphics or photos that can be applied to their purchases, while technological advances are making it cheaper and easier to custom-make goods. (Consider BMW, which allows Mini Cooper buyers to upload their own graphics to the Mini website for printing onto labels ready for the roof of the car.) Meanwhile, the rise of user-generated content coupled with the proliferation of on-demand, iPod-style purchasing—which allows customers to buy exactly what they want; nothing more, nothing less—has fuelled both the demand and the expectation for customized products.
Frank Piller, a professor at RWTH Aachen University in Germany and the co-founder of Cambridge, Mass.-based think-tank MIT Smart Customization Group, says mass customization got its start in the 1990s, thanks to flexible manufacturing processes that applied digital technology to produce one-off orders efficiently and cheaply. But, he says, recent technological developments have spurred a more significant takeoff: "It was the broader development of online configurators [which allow users to upload photos and select designs online] that made mass customization happen on a larger scale."
Vancouver-based PNI Digital Media Inc., which provides the technology platform on which retailers print photos for their customers, has seen 70% year-over-year growth in personalized products such as calendars, coffee mugs and photo books in the past couple of years. "Personalized products account for 30% of our revenue today, compared to 1% about seven years ago," says CEO Kyle Hall. "It's a very important trend for us." Over the next three to five years, Hall expects personalized products to account for more than 60% of the firm's business.
Indochino is another Vancouver company in the mass-customization vanguard. It produces business suits based on measurements customers provide online, delivering the finished product within two weeks at a price as low as $300. Launched in late 2007, it now has more than 50 employees and claims to be the largest online retailer of custom suits in the world.
Robyn Waters, a Minneapolis, Minn.-based consumer trends expert and former vice-president of product development at Target, says mass personalization is still underused in one key sector of the economy: the service industries.
"Banking and financial planning are still dominated by generalized investment products rather than personalized tools that help people realize their dreams," she points out. For instance, she says, most corporate retirement savings plans lack any form of customization.
Another area of opportunity is personalized marketing and promotions. Waters says entrepreneurs can use the personal information available on sites such as Facebook and Twitter to inform custom marketing and promotions packages for third parties. Another possibility is to provide the technology allowing retailers to analyze customer receipt data and provide incentives based on a customer's most frequently purchased products.
Dave Gardner, a San Jose, Calif.-based mass customization specialist, recommends looking at sectors that are dominated by a few large players. "Few players means few choices for the consumer," he says. For instance, he points to cable television, which forces customers to buy bundles of channels rather than only the channels they choose: "You want to provide an iPod-style alternative." Still, there can be too much of a good thing. You don't want to overwhelm customers with too many choices. And make the customization process easy, says Robert Smith, president of Dartmouth, N.S.-based Kameleon Jewelry, a maker of customizable jewelry. If it's not, he says, "Customers aren't going to buy."

|Joseph Fiennes as Monsignor Timothy O'Hara. ©FX
According to some religious text, Saint Timothy, the patron saint of the monsignor, was not circumcised at birth, therefore, when he became a follower and Saint Paul's companion, Paul insisted he be circumcised and Paul performed the operation "with his own hand". I wonder if the Monsignor is gay and takes advantage of the young men in the sanitarium.
Quotes Made by Monsignor Timothy O'Hara2X6 Origins of Monstrosity
"What would you need to continue your work?" to Dr. Arden
"Human trails would have been next." - Dr. Arden
"I assume it would be difficult to find volunteers." - Monsignor Timothy
"From the general public, yes. But there are those whose lives otherwise serve no other purpose. Through our work together, they would have contributed to the greater good. A good that would not go unnoticed - even in Rome." - Dr. Arden

Hero Vishnu Manchu said his role in 'Gayatri' has lot of scope for performance and will prove his mettle as an actor. With three films in line, Vishnu is hoping that his market would expand and accordingly is planning his future projects which are likely to be made on a massive budget.
Q: Tell us about your in Gayatri?
V: I have never played such role in my filmy career. I will be seen as young Sivaji essayed by Mohan Babu in the movie. My role involves a beautiful love story and the song 'Oka Nuvvu Oka Nenu' is one of the best romantic melodies heard in the recent times.
Q: What is the plot of Gayatri?
V: It is a tale of father and his daughter who get separated and how they reunite. How a father struggles to findout the whereabouts of his father is shown in a convincing way. Director Madan should be credited for this. The flashback episode which involves me and Shriya is beautiful.
Q: How far did the works of 'Bhakta Kannappa' have come?
V: The draft script is ready. I have borrowed the script from actor Tanikella Bharani and worked with Hollywood writer and prepared our version. Writer Sai Madhav Burra is penning the dialogues and the whole new version will be narrated to Tanikella Bharani again.
Q: How much is the budget of the movie?
V: I'm estimating about Rs 70 to Rs 80 crore. Frankly my market is not that huge but I'm confident that it will expand after 'Gayatri' 'Achari America Yatra' and 'Voter' release. By the end of this year, we will take 'Kannappa' to the sets and a Hollywood director would be wielding the megaphone.
Q: How is your son Avram Bhakta?
V: He is doing very good. Ariaana and Viviana are thoroughly enjoying and playing with their brother. But fatherhood is not an easy job.
That concludes the interview.

Iranian Film Fest organizer asks for donations after funding falls through
The festival's organizer says a misunderstanding cost the event a crucial grant at the last minute.
As the second annual Wisconsin Iranian Film Festival held its final screenings at Union South's Marquee theater this past weekend, organizer Hamidreza Nassiri began asking audiences for help. A free and ambitious showcase of contemporary Iranian cinema, the festival had secured some funding through the Wisconsin Union Directorate and UW-Madison's Mideast Studies Program. But the bulk of the funding was to come from an Associated Students of Madison grant that ended up falling through at the last minute, due to a misunderstanding in the paperwork, Nassiri says.
The loss of the ASM grant means Nassiri, who is currently studying film at UW-Madison on a graduate fellowship, is on the hook for paying distributors to screen the festival's films. He's currently trying to raise about $4,000 through a GoFundMe campaign and through PayPal on the festival's website.
While the funding problems—which arose just a few days before the festival's screenings began—have made the past couple of weeks stressful for Nassiri, he's happy with how the festival went otherwise. It spread seven feature films, a program of seven shorts, and discussions about Iran and its cinema across the last two weekends of February. Nassiri says each screening drew at least 40 or 50 people, and that a February 24 screening of Vahid Jalilvand's No Date, No Signature about half-filled the 350-seat Marquee. The festival attracted media attention both in Madison (including praise from Tone Madison's Grant Phipps) and even in the Tehran Times.
"The main thing that I wanted was to make people talk to each other—just look at the films that come from Iran and look at that society through the lens of the people instead of the lens of the western media, and then let's talk to each other face to face about it," Nassiri says.
Nassiri would like to keep the festival going in future years, but says that'll be hard to do if he ends up personally shouldering the costs of this year's event. He's continuing to ask for donations from the Madison film community, and says he'll explore other sources of funding for future iterations of the festival.

When is a slump not really a slump? We've talked about reading slumps here before, about what causes them, how to get out of them, maybe a bit of how to stave them off, sprinkled in there, now and again. can what appears to be a slump really be something else, though? Read on and find out.
We are going to get personal and philosophical here, at the same time. This may end up getting messy, at least for a little while, but then again, that basically applies to everything, so I think we are good, on that front. While discussion is definitely open to everybody's experience, the only one I have personally been through is my own, so here we go.
Since we're getting near the end of the year, that means that it's time to start new trackers in my bullet journal, and that definitely includes reading trackers. Last year (it's funny to think of 2018 as "last year," but we're almost there, aren't we?) I set up two different reading trackers. The first one listed the number of pages read, one square to color in for every twenty five pages read. I'm not sure if I'm going to do exactly the same page tracker for this coming year, but it's pretty darned straightforward. Also, I forgot to take a picture.
What I did take a picture of, is my other reading tracker, my first attempt at a bookshelf type of spread. Most of these spreads look basically like the first two sections in the picture below:
At the start of the year, I set my reading goal at ninety books for the year, which I then broke down into goals for each month. That meant eight books per month, which translates to two books per week. That's not a hard thing. Most months, it actually does work. All of the "books" on the "shelves" get colored in, titles and author names added, and, most months, it's usually not even a problem to fill every slot.
Until October. I only read seven books in October, which made me a little uncomfortable, but what the heck, I could get current in November. Which is not what happened. Since I am writing this on the last day of November, and I have only read three books, that means a lot fewer than two books a week. How on earth did that happen?
See? Three books. That's all. All three of them were YA, all new releases, and I read through them in pretty good time. So, how did that happen? Is it possible that I somehow forgot to record some books read while I was in the middle of a domestic tornado? Possible. Actually, probable. A lot of us can relate to something like that. Unfortunately, since I use the library heavily, I can't check books that I have already returned, so if I didn't record them when I first read them, then they fell through the cracks and are, alas, gone forever. That makes me reader heart sad, and I probably could check library activity somehow (librarians know. Librarians always know.) but the gap is there, none the less.
If there are, indeed, lost books in my reading history, I don't remember any of them, which probably speaks to how well they worked for me. What, then, about the books that I read before that blank space? There, we might have a bit of a clue. I'm not a very big SF/F reader, even within romance, and what were the last two books listed in the previous month? Steampunk romance, and SF YA romance. Aha.
Let's take a closer look. The steampunk book, the first in its series, had a lot of worldbuilding, alternate history, and, though loaded with enough steampunkery to please any fan of the genre, still read like the very best of that rich historical romance feel that I love more than anything else. Same goes for the SF YA story, which was also the first of its series, a retelling of the mystery surrounding a real life historical mystery, plus there were robots and intrigue and all of that good stuff. Basically, there were a lot of things to take in while reading each book, and a lot to learn along the way. There was also time taken off to research the book series, make sure I could track down/wait for the next installments.
After all of that, taking a break to zip through some contemporary stories, one of which I already had some familiarity with the plot, felt like the most natural thing to do for a change of pace. While it looks like I didn't do a lot of reading in late October and November, that's not exactly the case. I spent a lot of time in two books that straddled genres I don't normally read, while keeping one foot in the romance genre, and I had a great time doing it.
So, dear readers, I turn it now over to you. Do you track your reading in any way? Do you ever find that those trackers don't always tell the whole story? Have you ever read a book that you loved, over a long period of time? Pull up a chair in the comments section, and tell us all about it. There's room for everybody at this table.

On 3/27/11 at about 4:32pm, a Brinks transport truck was in the process of picking up money at the Publix located at 127 Cape Coral Pkwy.W.
As a Brinks employee was exiting the Publix store and walking towards the Brinks armored vehicle, a white male approached the Brinks employee from behind and tasered the employee in the neck.
The employee dropped the coin and cash bags during the tasing and was temporally stunned. The single male suspect grabbed the canvas Brinks bag containing an undisclosed amount of cash and checks and ran from the scene.
It is believed that a black SUV was waiting for the suspect on the north side of the Publix store where the suspect was last seen running. Some limited video was obtained regarding the event. The video should be available tomorrow.
No other information is available at this time. More information will be released tomorrow.

The Neighbors is an LA-based duo comprised of Max Subar (lead vocals and guitar) and Lucas Tamaren (guitar and banjo). Formed just earlier this year, they've honed in on a style that blends folk, blues, bluegrass and jazz into what currently reminds me of The Lumineers. Their first original, Weed and Wine, came out in May, but I just discovered it today and have had it on repeat for the past hour.
You need to listen to these guys!

Liz Green's unique voice has been compared to Judy Garland , Karen Dalton and Jolie Holland. She sounds like a '30s diva from America's Deep South rather than an unassuming girl from the north of England, and her voice could easily be emanating from the time-worn grooves of a dusty old seventy eight. Debut album, O, Devotion! is out in November following the release of New Orleans horns - coated 'Displacement Song' this Summer, and UK tour to match.

Enrique Iglesias - SUBEME LA RADIO
"S?beme la Radio" is a song by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias featuring the Puerto Rican duo Zion & Lennox and the Cuban singer Descemer Bueno. It is the lead single from Enrique's upcoming studio album. The song was released on 24 February 2017. (Wikipedia)
Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler ">; born 8 May 1975) is a Spanish singer, songwriter, actor and record producer. He is widely regarded as the King of Latin Pop. Iglesias started his career in the mid-1990s on an American Spanish-language record label Fonovisa Records under the name Enrique Martinez, before switching to the stage name Enrique Iglesias and becoming one of the biggest stars in Latin America and the Hispanic market in the United States. By the turn of the millennium, he had made a successful crossover into the US mainstream market and signed a multi-album deal with Universal Music Group for US$68?million with Universal Music Latino to release his Spanish albums and Interscope Records to release English albums. In 2010, he parted with Interscope Records and signed with another Universal Music Group label Republic Records to release bilingual albums. In 2015, Iglesias parted ways with Universal Music Group after a decade. He signed with Sony Music; his upcoming albums will be released by Sony Music Latin in Spanish and RCA Records in English. (Wikipedia)
A CD single is a music single in the form of a standard size compact disc, not to be confused with the Mini CD single, which uses a smaller form factor. The format was introduced in the mid-1980s, but did not gain its place in the market until the early 1990s. With the rise in digital downloads in the 2000s, sales of CD singles have decreased.
