Two diametrically opposed views are circulating about Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's appearance before the top leadership of the EPP. The cynical view is that once again Viktor Orbán succeeded in fooling the naïve EU politicians. The more optimistic view is that this time the EPP read him the riot act and he no longer has any maneuvering room. He will either comply with the demands of the European Commission and the leadership of the European People's Party or else. HVG and 24.hu stand pretty well alone in concluding that today's EPP meeting was a serious blow to Viktor Orbán. I'm inclined to side with them.
I have collected from independent sources all the information I could find about the meeting itself and comments made either before or after the meeting by responsible EPP politicians. What do I mean by independent sources? Non-Hungarian sources that gleaned their information on the spot.
First of all, I think it is important to stress that the gathering included the highest dignitaries of the EPP group, headed by Joseph Daul, its president, as well as Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, and Antonio Tajani, president of the European Parliament. EPP's press release, which included Daul's statement, began with these words: "Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orbán was summoned to the Presidency of the European People's Party (EPP) this morning to explain the latest developments related to the Hungarian Higher Education Act and the national consultation 'Let's stop Brussels.'" Thus Orbán was not invited to discuss matters but was summoned to explain his government's treatment of a university, its propaganda against the European Union, and its planned attacks on NGOs.
After this beginning it is not at all surprising that the presidency of the EPP thought that "dialogue alone is not enough." Daul said that there was "an open and frank conversation," which in diplomatic language means a tough and not exactly friendly exchange. Orbán was asked "to take all necessary steps to comply with the Commission's request." In turn, "Prime Minister Orbán has reassured the EPP that Hungary will act accordingly." The statement warned that academic freedom and the autonomy of the universities must be respected. Moreover, the EPP considers NGOs an integral part of any healthy democracy. "The EPP has also made it clear to our Hungarian partners that the blatant anti-EU rhetoric of the 'Let's stop Brussels' consultation is unacceptable."
Now let's see what other evidence we have for what transpired at this meeting between Orbán and the bigwigs of the EPP. The spokesman for President Daul, Siegfried Mureşan, said after the meeting that "Prime Minister Viktor Orbán pledged in the EPP council to follow and carry out all the demands of the European Commission within the time frame set by the commission." That time frame is 30 days. Today Frans Timmermans reiterated that Orbán must meet the European Commission's demands. "We're very firm on this. I will not drop this ball." Joseph Daul also said today that "the constant attacks on Europe, which Fidesz has launched for years, have reached a level we cannot tolerate." Manfred Weber added that "after this discussion the ball is in [Orbán's] court. If he reacts properly, then he is a team player. If not, there will be consequences." According to euobserver.com, Viktor Orbán himself admitted that "they told me to behave."
Although many of the reports on the meeting note that the question of Fidesz's expulsion from the EPP group didn't come up, in light of the reports and leaks I suspect that some sort of ultimatum or warning must have been issued. Given Weber's reference to "consequences," I assume the EPP leaders told Orbán what those consequences would be if he refuses to comply.
In light of the above, the Hungarian pessimists' verdict that Orbán again managed to fool the naïve EU politicians is, in my opinion, without any foundation. It really doesn't matter what Orbán said to Hungarian reporters in Brussels. As Hungarian Free Press translated the appropriate passage, "the university of George Soros, which is called Central European University, is proceeding at its own legal pace. On this, no agreement has been reached. At this moment, there is a legal discussion. We always believed that if someone does not like something, then one must choose legal means to resolve the dispute. This is a legal issue. Hungary and the Commission will discuss this in the coming months. The legal dispute will have an end result, and this end result will be implemented."
Let me start by stating that Orbán didn't outright lie. Indeed, "no agreement has been reached" thus far. He didn't say at the EPP meeting that he will withdraw the law. He simply promised to fulfill the demands. He is correct in saying that it is a legal issue. However, his claim that he can discuss the matter for months on end is untrue. He received a 30-day deadline, after which an infringement procedure might be launched. By itself, this infringement procedure might not be a big deal, but we don't know what additional threats the EPP leaders, Juncker, and Tajani made. Orbán's claim that "at the EPP meeting we managed to defend Hungary's point of view" is a brazen lie.
So far we have no idea what the final Hungarian position will be on the issue of Central European University. At the moment there seems to be total chaos in the communication department. For example, the official government statement, signed by Bertalan Havasi, the director of the press department of the prime minister's office, only a couple of hours after the meeting ended is a nonstarter in my opinion. It still includes the core attack on CEU–that is, that CEU, in order to continue as an institution of higher learning in Hungary, must establish a functioning campus in the United States. Surely, no sane person can imagine that this position can be the starting point for negotiations with either CEU or the European Commission.
I suspect that we are going to read conflicting statements from government spokesmen and, in turn, innumerable guesses about the government's true intentions. This is a crucial junction in the tug-of-war between Orbán and the European Union. Orbán's defeat is likely, and therefore the government's communication experts will need all the tools they can muster to sell this particular debacle as a victory.

Mechanical stress tester
Trans-Tex Fabricating constructed and donated a Mechanical Test Sytem to the University of Texas at San Antonio Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
With the machine, students will be able to do hands-on materials testing in the Structural Dynamics Lab. The machine is a large steel load testing frame that exerts varying amounts of pressure on material being tested. A computer monitors how well the test material handles under stress.
"There are not many of these setups around the country," said Mijia Yang, assistant professor with the engineering school. "Before, we would only have theoretical and mathematical tools for teaching."

Users of Apple's iPhone 4 have reported another bug which could prove to be a major setback for Apple at a time when smartphone competition has seriously intensified.

The Apple Support forum has seen a number of posts on this latest issue, many of which suggest that the problem may be caused by a driver compatibility issue between the iOS software and the 4S hardware.
Apple should be releasing a software update over the coming weeks which will resolve the issue so watch this space!
Users on the Apple Support Forum suggest toggling the speakerphone off and on again, or unplugging and re-plugging headphones as a temporary workaround for the bug.

Singer Will Champlin, who won the title of third place on the fifth season of the hit NBC crooning competition The Voice, has won the admiration of dog devotees for using his voice to raise people's spirits as he raises awareness about pet adoption.
The music video for the original song "Your Forever Home" is the crescendo to PetSmart Charities' Rescue Waggin': Tales from the Road, an eight-part web series which not only chronicles the 600-mile trip of 21 traveling tail-waggers from Carthage Humane Society Joplin, Missouri to Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley, Minnesota, but also the dogs' emotional journey as they found forever pet parents to love.
The video includes appearances by some of the Spot-loving stars who introduced segments of the web series, including actress Kristen Bell, Glee star Harry Shum, Jr., So You Think You Can Dance judge Adam Shankman, entertainment reporters Ben Lyons and Leeza Gibbons, comedienne Rita Rudner and Josh Duhamel, who narrated the web series, which was launched thanks to a partnership between the actor's production company (Dakotakid Media) and PetSmart Charities.
The celebrity cameos help to highlight the true stars of the webisodes– all of the compassionate people who helped the homeless dogs on each leg of their journey, and the pups who are now among the more than 70,000 dogs who have been given the gift of a new lease on life since the PetSmart Charities' Rescue Waggin' program began in 2004.

Q: What is the minimum amount that I need to raise to participate?
A: Individual Plungers need to raise at least $60. Participants raising higher amounts are eligible for greater incentives.
Q: Where/how do I turn in my money on Plunge day?
A: Any monies you have in-hand should be turned in at the Registration area on Plunge Day. This includes cash, checks, and money orders. Credit card donations are also accepted at Registration.
Q: What prizes are available to participants who raise more than the minimum?
A: For a full list of fundraising incentives, click here.
Q: How far do I have to go into the water?
A: We do not have any depth requirements for the Plunge. Instead, we leave it up to the comfort level of the individual participant. Some choose to go all the way under, while others go ankle-deep and then go home. Everyone is a Plunger in our book!
Q: How old do you have to be to Plunge?
A: While we do not have any age restrictions, participants under the age of 18 must have written consent from a parent or legal guardian. Over the years, many young children have participated quite safely and we defer to the parents on what makes the most sense for their family. Remember, Plunging can mean dipping a hand or a big toe, which is plenty of cold water for a little one!
Q: Is there someplace where I can change before and/or after the Plunge?
A: Yes! In each venue we have either heated indoor changing areas or male/female heating changing tents. Please note that neither the event committee nor Special Olympics New York are responsible for personal belongings left inside the tent that are lost or stolen during the course of the event. Leave items at your own risk.
Q: What should I wear to the Plunge?
A: Pretty much whatever you want, within the following guidelines:
You must wear shoes of some sort. Lewd or indecent bathing suits or outfits are not permitted. Please remember that this is a family event. Participants who disregard this policy will be asked to cover up, or will be escorted from the park.
Q: I am a first-time Plunger. Can you tell me what I should expect when I arrive?
A: The most fun you'll ever have at the beach in the winter! You should expect a very large crowd and lots of energy. In most Plunge venues you can listen to music, buy some great Plunge gear or other food and drink, and mingle with thousands of fellow Plungers and spectators as you all gear up for your chilly dip.
Q: Who should checks be made out to?
A: Checks should be made out to Special Olympics New York.
Please include in the memo area of the check the Plunger's name and event location that is to be credited for the donation.
Q: I am trying to make an online donation but it doesn't seem to be going through. What can I do?
A: Call us and we can help! 585-586-7400 ext. 5100.
Q: I have received additional donations for the Plunge but the event is over. What should I do with them?
A: Donations to the Plunge are accepted at any time of the year, and simply need to be mailed or delivered to: Special Olympics New York, 1 Grove Street, Suite 216, Pittsford, NY 14534.
Please be sure that the name of the individual or team that the donations should be credited to is clearly indicated.
Q: I/my team raised funds for the Plunge but I was/we were unable to attend. What should I/we do with the money I/we raised?
A: In every case that we have ever been asked this, Plunge participants find that their donors still want their contribution to go to Special Olympics New York so we encourage you to send the money in. Donations to the Plunge are accepted at any time of the year, and simply need to be mailed or delivered to: Special Olympics New York, 1 Grove Street, Suite 216, Pittsford, NY 14534.
Please be sure that the name of the individual or team that the donations should be credited to is clearly indicated.
Q: I have registered online but I also have cash and checks that people have given me, what can I do with these?
A: All donations should be turned in at the event Registration, these additional funds will be added to your fundraising total.
Q: Does Special Olympics New York issue refunds?
A: Charitable contributions are non-refundable, and the minimum Plunge registration fee is considered a charitable contribution and is therefore also non-refundable.
Q: I have received some cash donations and I want to update
the fundraising total on my webpage to include these. How can I do
A: Individual Plunge participants can enter donations in the system, but they must be confirmed by the staff at Special Olympics New York. All donations – cash, check, money order – received via mail or in person are entered by the administrative support staff for the Plunge. Contributions in this form should be mailed to
Special Olympics New York, 1 Grove Street, Suite 216, Pittsford, NY 14534 for processing. Please allow at least 5-7 business days from receipt of the donations for totals to reflect online.
Q: How long does it take for checks that are mailed in on my behalf to show up in my fundraising total?
A: Generally speaking, contributions will be entered no more than 5-7 business days after they are received by Special Olympics New York. When checking on a donation that has been mailed, please remember to allow 2-3 days for handling by the USPS. During the week of the Plunge, processing time WILL increase due to the volume of mail received. In this case, contributions may or may not appear on your webpage prior to the event.
Q: My company offers matching gifts. If I get my personal contribution to the Plunge matched, does that count towards my fundraising total and how do I go about getting credit for it?
A: Yes, that is an excellent way to raise additional funds on behalf of your Plunge. All you need to do is complete a request with your employer. They will have us verify your donation and will send us the matching funds — usually within 6 weeks, sometimes longer.
Q: Can I get blank receipt forms to give to my donors?
A: Blank receipt forms are available for you to give back to donors upon receiving a contribution. They are at the following LINK.
Q: What is the minimum amount that my team needs to raise?
A: Teams are not required to raise any specific amount; however, every team member still must raise the minimum noted per plunge location.
Q: Can general donations made to our team be split up amongst team members so each team member reaches the minimum?
A: All Plungers must fund-raise individually. However, we are aware that in some cases a family member or a company will issue one check that is intended to cover multiple team members, but will just use the team name. You can help us to avoid this by asking donors to indicate in advance exactly who they are sponsoring and in what amounts. If that information is not included ahead of time but the donor did intend for it be split among team members, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are bringing a bulk check or dollar amount with you to the event registration, PLEASE have exactly how you would like the funds split up between each Plunger written out or the donation will go to which ever team member is handing it in during registration.
Q: My team would like to put out some
banners/posters/flyers/other promotional materials to promote a special
fundraiser and/or our general participation in the event and help us
raise money. How can we get these?
A: We are happy to work with teams to assist in promoting participation in this event.
Q: As a spectator, where is the best place to watch the Plunge?
A: Spectators are welcome to stand along the outside perimeter of the fence line designating the official "Plunge Zone" in order to watch the action; however, they will not be allowed entry into the Plunge Zone. For those Plungers who need photographic proof, we recommend taking a waterproof camera to the water with you and asking a fellow Plunger to capture the moment. Another option is to delay your Plunge until the bulk of the crowd has already entered and exited t he water, making it easier for your supporters to see you from the spectator area.
Q: Is there any charge to get into the event if I am just coming to cheer on a Plunge participant?
A: No! Spectators are welcome to the event free of charge. There are, however, tons of great food and beverage vendors, crafters and other merchandise for sale at the event so you might want to have some money on hand for when you see that sweatshirt you just can't live without!
Q: I was going to participate but now I can't. Is there a way for me to cancel my registration?
A: If you simply want to let us know that you are no longer attending, there is no need. We expect a certain % of no-shows each year and plan accordingly.
Q: I was going to participate but now my schedule doesn't
allow. Is it possible for me to turn in my money early and still
receive the Plunge sweatshirt?
A: Absolutely! Please contact your regional Plunge staff and they will help you arrange that!

Sometimes I think we take things in the church way too seriously. Do you know what I mean?
No, I'm not talking about things like sin or theology or repentance (or even Stormtroopers). Certainly those things have their place (and the place for Stormtroopers is in the nursery, by the way).
Actually, I'm talking about the "lighter" things that happen inside the church. Like in your Sunday morning church bulletin, for example.
Rarely does anyone ever create the Sunday bulletin and then run it by the pastor or a few sanctified editors for things like punctuation, clarity, etc…but maybe we should. Why do I say that, you ask? Well, read the following church bulletin bloopers and you'll understand why.
These are funny, hilarious, and…oh, just read them yourself.
- Due to the Rector's illness, Wednesday's healing services will be discontinued until further notice.
- Bertha Belch, a missionary from Africa, will be speaking tonight at Calvary Methodist. Come hear Bertha Belch all the way from Africa.
- The Rev. Merriwether spoke briefly, much to the delight of the audience.
- On a church bulletin during the minister's illness: GOD IS GOOD; Dr. Hargreaves is better.
- Applications are now being accepted for 2 year-old nursery workers.
- The pastor will preach his farewell message, after which the choir will sing, "Break Forth Into Joy."
- If you would like to make a donation, fill out a form, enclose a check, and drip in the collection basket.
- Next Sunday Mrs. Vinson will be soloist for the morning service. The pastor will then speak on "It's a Terrible Experience."
- Don't miss this Saturday's exhibit by Christian Martian Arts.
- We are grateful for the help of those who cleaned up the grounds around the church building and the rector.
- A worm welcome to all who have come today.
- Barbara remains in the hospital and needs blood donors for more transfusions. She is also having trouble sleeping and requests tapes of Pastor Nelson's sermons.
- During the absence of our pastor, we enjoyed the rare privilege of hearing a good sermon when J.F. Stubbs supplied our pulpit.
- Irving Benson and Jessie Carter were married on October 24 in the church. So ends a friendship that began in their school days.
- The ushers will come forward and take our ties and offerings.
- The rosebud on the altar this morning is to announce the birth of David Alan Belzer, the sin of Reverend and Mrs. Julius Belzer.
- The eighth-graders will be presenting Shakespeare's Hamlet in the church basement on Friday at 7 p.m. The congregation is invited to attend this tragedy.
- Don't let worry kill you off – let the church help.
- Please place your donation in the envelope along with the deceased person(s) you want remembered.
- Let us join David and Lisa in the celebration of their wedding and bring their happiness to a conclusion.
- Helpers are needed! Please sign up on the information sheep.
- Diana and Don request your presents at their wedding.

My first book, Ascension of Peary, has been up loaded to KDP and is available here for pre-sale. The actual date of availability is September 18. CreateSpace and I are working on getting the paperback ready, and I expect to get my proof in the next few days. Once I tell them it's all hunky-dory, they will push buttons, and fire up their gizmo, and start preparing the book, I have asked them to make it available on September 18 also, but your guess is as good as mine whether it will be available before that date or not. It will in all likelihood be available on that date, since I doubt they will screw up the proof at all.
I am still writing. I actually have a few in progress right now. The two most likely contenders for next book are: Fantastical Trips, which I had as my cover page for the first year of this blog, and nearly threw away in disgust this past June; and a prequel to Ascension of Peary which occurs some thirty five years before that book in an entirely different part of the empire. I haven't named the second book yet, or rather it has two names, neither of which is suitable for the book as it is developing.
Fantastical Trips is being completely rewritten, which is a good thing. It bore too many of the hallmarks of a first novel, weak characterization, sloppy story-telling, amateur writing, and unappealing dialogue. Having made it through the process with Ascension of Peary, I have learned a lot more about the craft and the inadvisability to try only editing as a cure for Fantastical Trips' numerous ailments. Only a fresh start seems to offer what this manuscript needs. I'm only ten thousand words into it, but the characters are already more lively and interesting than they ever were in the prior iteration. Rather than rushing into the primary conflict in the story, and rushing to its conclusion, I am taking the time to develop the world and its inhabitants through action and dialogue. No guaranties, but it already reads more smoothly, and is more entertaining. Whether that's enough remains to be seen.
The prequel to Ascension does not involve any of the characters from Ascension unless there is a brief appearance of the third emperor's son at some point in the latter reaches of this tale. That remains a possibility. Instead, I'm giving the origin story of some individuals who will show up in the sequel to Ascension, so that they don't appear suddenly out of whole cloth when I write the sequel.
So in some sense, I have three books in progress, with the two sequels already planned and partially written for Fantastical Trips also waiting in the background. This ignores the steampunk murder mystery I have partially written and almost completely figured out which will see the light of day someday. I expect to be busy, which means I will likely not be blogging quite so much. But, dear readers, I will do my best to keep you apprised of my works in process as they come to the fore.
I hope you read Ascension of Peary. I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on it and whether you want more. Advice will be gratefully accepted as each volume comes to its own publication date. I honestly don't care whether you buy or borrow the book or books, but I hope you find them entertaining enough that you want to have your own copy. I also hope you will recognize the target audiences for my work, generally between twelve and eighteen, and will offer it to those you know in that age group. I should add that a precocious nine year old boy has been reading some of The Ascension of Peary and has been delighted by it. He is always asking for more, and he will shortly have his own copy.

Poker Games
Enjoy the full range of poker games at 888 Poker
As a budding or current online poker player then there are certain things that you should be looking for from an online card room. Mainly though you are looking for a site with lots of action and especially with regards to all of the major forms of poker like Texas Hold'em and Omaha played in all of its various guises. Texas Hold'em be it in a no limit, limit or pot limit format is the most widely played poker game in the world and that is simply because it is by far the fastest form of poker.
All of the best players in the online poker world play Texas hold'em but an increasingly number of action orientated players are trying their hand at its close cousin……Omaha. This is a game that is rich in variety and subtlety and will pose a test for even the best poker players. Omaha can also be played in different formats with its main variant being Pot limit Omaha. There is nothing more exciting than to play multiple tables of either hold'em or Omaha and both games will test your skill and nerve.
Whether your taste in poker is tournaments or cash games then you can experience Texas hold'em and Omaha in lots of different ways at stakes that are both large and small. As well as the popular games of Texas hold'em and Omaha there are also other interesting cash games on offer for the player who likes to vary their poker playing. You can try your skill at the Razz and Stud poker tables or if that doesn't float your boat then you could try the classic Draw poker or the very intriguing Badugi which is becoming more and more popular every year.
Razz poker is a very interesting variation and is simply Seven Card Stud but played for low where the lowest hand instead of the highest hand wins. This adds a completely new twist to playing poker and just like Hold'em and Omaha, can be played for real money as well as play money. Draw poker is one of the oldest forms of poker in the world and this is a game that you will have often seen on television in some of the old classic movies. Badugi is a game that many may not have heard of but it is every bit as exciting as the other forms of poker. It is a draw game where the player has the option to swap some of their cards or all of them if they so wish.

The laser thingy was borked, so every once in a while it would rocket off and have my camera spin around and up in the sky. I remember it killed me on a hectic try on Loken back in Wrath (when he was still difficult!). My recommendation is to check if this happens with your pointer outside of WoW (to me it could shoot off in a corner on the desktop without me doing anything, or wander across the screen), in which case it's most likely your mouse.

A pupil of Anjuman Sunnat ul Jamaat Association (ASJA) Primary School at Point Fortin was taken to hospital yesterday after a sliding steel gate fell on him.
The child, a Standard Two pupil, suffered a head wound and possible fractures to his leg and arm.
The incident occurred around 7.45 a.m. when the child and others were passing through the gateway to exit the compound of a mosque at Alleyne Street, located next door to the school at Bryce Road.
The ASJA mosque compound is often used as a short cut by pupils to access their school, the Express was told. Roger Panlflk, 44, who lives across the street from the mosque, assisted the child.
He told the Express: "My mom started screaming and I saw the child under the gate. I ran across and tried to lift the gate off him. Children and a lady who was in the car park were also struggling, trying to lift the gate, but we couldn't do it. Two other men, emergency medical technicians, were nearby and all of us got the gate off him.
The child was bleeding from his head."
He said the paramedics bandaged the child's head and placed a neck brace on him.
Ten minutes later an ambulance arrived and took the child to the San Fernando General Hospital.
An official at the school told the Express to refer all enquiries to the ASJA Board.
Calls to the cell phone of president of the ASJA Board, Yacoob Ali, were not answered.
The Ministry of Education's media relations coordinator Yolanda Morales-Carvalho said, according to information she received, the child was closing the gate after a vendor drove into the car park with a vehicle.
"He was trying to be helpful and close the gate for someone, a vendor, when she parked. He took it upon himself to close the gate. According to the report, no one had asked him, he was just trying to be helpful."
Morales-Carvalho said the policy at the school was that children were not allowed to go to the mosque without teachers present.
"We are trying to find why he was there," she said.
She said Student Support Service will provide counselling to the injured child and, if necessary, to the other children who witnessed the incident.

Former US Ambassador to Canada, Gordon Giffin joins Element Board of Directors
TORONTO, May 6, 2013 /CNW/ - Element Financial Corporation (TSX:EFN) ("Element" or "the Company"), one of North America's leading independent equipment finance companies, today announced several changes to the Company's board of directors aimed at bringing increased independence and a broader regional perspective to the work of the board and its committees.
In this regard, Element is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Gordon D. Giffin, former US ambassador to Canada, to the Company's board of directors. Ambassador Giffin will sit as an independent member of the board.
"As Element continues to expand its reach across the Canada/US border to provide vendor financing solutions to North American equipment manufacturers and their customer, we will benefit from having the perspective of a seasoned diplomat of Ambassador Giffin's experience on our board of directors," said Steven Hudson, Element's Chairman and CEO.
"Element Financial is very well positioned to enable businesses on both sides of the border to acquire the capital equipment they need to make meaningful and sustained contributions to the expansion of the North American economy," said Ambassador Giffin. "I'm looking forward to supporting the Company's continued success and growth."
In addition to Ambassador Giffin's appointment, the Company also announced that Dr. Steven Small, in addition to his role as Lead Director, has been appointed as Vice Chairman of the board of directors. Dr. Small has also been appointed to serve on the Audit Committee in addition to continuing to serve on the Credit Committee. As well as these changes, Mr. Paul Stoyan has been appointed as Chair of the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee and Mr. Harold Bridge has been appointed to the Credit Committee in addition to continuing to serve as Chair of the Audit Committee. Mr. Leslie E. Martin and Mr. Bruce Smith are not standing for re-election and will retire from the board of directors at the Company's May 28th Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Mr. Smith will continue to provide strong leadership and operational direction to Element as the Company's Chief Operating Officer and Canadian President.
"As one of the founding shareholders of Element, I want to pay a special tribute to Les Martin for the extraordinary contribution that he has made to the development of this Company," said Mr. Hudson. "I am personally very grateful for the no-nonsense advice and insightful perspective that he always brought to our board meetings as we transformed Element from a small private company to a TSX-listed enterprise with a growing North American market presence," added Mr. Hudson.
Subject to their election at the upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Element's board of directors will be comprised of nine directors, eight of whom meet the criteria required to be designated as independent directors as defined under the Corporate Governance Guidelines published by the Canadian Securities Administrators.

How do you feel about the NHL lockout that started Saturday night? How much does it concern you, even if it could mean no hockey this season? As fans, how do you feel when major sports leagues hold lockouts while they negotiate over millions of dollars?
Rasputin mental disorder comes from a lousy gene pool. He has to put others down in order for himself to feel empowered. His use of underclass is so over used, I can't help but to think of a little feller trying to look big in a world of giants.
I normally feel sorry for idiots because they usually are short on brain cells. But with you being in a bunch of [supposedly] educated people that so willingly accept a man who you have no idea who in the hell he is as your president, I can't feel sorry for you.
I can only say you're going to find out soon and I don't think you're going to like what you'll learn.
Nemo - Raspy jumps in with both feet on things he apparently knows nothing about & when called, runs like a turkey.
d7 - When the thing makes a comment like the 11:51, take it as a compliment. You just posted something that shows them "wrong" again.
Sorry bfra,
But you are wrong again. I have asked for proof but you have never given any. Why? Because you don't have any. Why not? Because Barry Soetoro will not give you any.
As I have posted before, prove me wrong and I'll apologize and accept your man as president.
You, and your friends, have made all kinds of ludicrous comments to and about me, so why haven't you proved me to be wrong?
And by the way, it takes more than you just saying you're right. Prove it.
Raspy, I do see the big picture...I see that the reason the U.S. became a world power is because of a thriving middle class. When the middle class prospers, the entire country prospers.
What we've seen in the last decade is the erosion of that middle class. It's to the point that the largest investment that the middle class has, their home, is no longer valuable. Why is that?
Oh yeah, because banks, spurred on by bad government decisions (who needs regulation?), decided to gamble our future on sub-prime loans. That's turned out well.
There should be no argument for less regulation and/or the Bush Tax Cuts. NONE. The only way out of this is the hard way...and it's going to be painful, for everyone and everyone should have to pitch in because we've all been complicit in getting here.
This is the United States, we're all in this together. This individualistic crap has to go.
Yogi, you've been proven wrong so many times it's embarrassing. I'm beginning to think you're inbred.
So when did you prove me wrong, gdiafante? When you said I was wrong? You have not offered one piece of evidence to counter my claims on Obama. Why not? Because you don't have any, and you won't as long as he refuses to release his papers.
Evidence has proven so many times his "birth certificate" is a fake. Evidence has proven so many times his SSN is a fake. Evidence has proven so many times his registration number is a fake. So what identity papers have you seen that proves him in office legally?
I hate to say this, but you aren't like the Marines I served with in the 40s and 50s. You must have taken a different oath.
Your problem with Obama is he isn't from the Donna Reed Show or Ozzie and Harriet, Father Knows Best....My Three Sons...none had ONE Negro on it.
I think Norman Lear's, "All in the Family" introduced America to "blacks" that may move in next door to you with The Jeffersons.
Also, Obama was only 47 when elected.
He didn't have a 30 year resume in the Halls of Congress or Senate like a Orin Hatch or Ted Kennedy.
JFK was 46 and a PT109 boat Cpt. Clinton was 46 but as a Rhodes Scholar, went to Oxford to study.
Obama is a Harvard Law grad. Get it? We need brilliant thinkers in the Oval Office.
Not knee-jerk warmongers who shoot first, hide the returning soldier's coffins, and then bury the collateral damage.
How many times is the Middle East going to accept our sincerest "apology" for a drone going off course and killing a family of 12? Our Marines shooting a family in the back for revenge? They're tired of our bullshit. And, open your eyes, it is bullshit.
Being a military man like McCain who's got dementia at 72 is no longer a requirement to become President. Eisenhower was the last one. Your boy Reagan slept with chimpanzees. Like Michael Jackson.
Where did Romney, at 65 serve? How about his 5 sons..where'd they serve? No where.
Actually, yogi, the birth certificate is not a fake, and I have cited the following in the past (at least FOUR times):
The U.S. Constitition
U.S. Code
Case Law
Supreme Court decisions
Look in the archives. You're so damned stupid I have to explain it over and over and OVER again. Enough is enough. He's the President and you're a dumb old racist with sour grapes. Grow a pair instead of whining like a little girl all the damn time. It's pathetic.
gdifante - You personally & others have posted all types of proof of gualifications for Obama legality. yogi has never posted "proof" of anything, just his whine 24/7.
You make remarks about Romney and his sons not serving. May I ask: When did you serve?
Where was you assigned? What danger zone was you assigned to?
Dodo head, when did d7 or anyone in his family enter the President's race. Don't you understand any thing?
you can mention names of any paper you say you have mentioned but you made no reference to the section of the book you "mentioned".
What section of the U.S. Code was you referring to? What case lay was your referring to? What Supreme Court decision was you referring to? Simply put, the U. S. Constitution lays the sole rules to run for the Presidential office. Read Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 5.
Until Obama can and will present those requirements, I'm going to continue my argument. If you can prove it for him, be my guest.
Not just your thoughts, or words. I want facts.
OMG - gdiafante, has even posted pages of facts to that effect. gdiafante, ignore the dodo head. He is an insult to yogi bear!
BS, bfra,
gdiafante hasn't posted facts, let alone pages to me. But if he did, I apparently didn't understand what he was referring to.
So how about you referring them to me again and make sure you know what you're talking about on your referrels.
By: yogiman on 9/17/12 at 4:49
BS, bfra,
gdiafante hasn't posted facts, let alone pages to me. But if he did, I apparently didn't understand what he was referring to.
Your, I apparently didn't understand what he was referring to, says it all. Go look it up yourself dodo head!
I apparently don't think like you and your "buddies" on this site, bfra. So tell me, why should a man and his sons volunteer to the services just because he's running for the President's office? Did he, or any of his sons know he was going to run when he reached 65 so he should have volunteered when he was a young man?
Take that brain out and sprinkle it with a little vinegar, bfra. It might help it work better. You've got too much sourkrout on in now.
Now, with your argument, why didn't Barry Soetoro volunteer to serve? Oh, I'm sorry, he didn't have to. He's different.
You are like Obama; he insists Romney shows his tax returns but it's okay for for him to keep his papers under lock and key. So what makes him the exception? Could it be because he is in that office illegally? I'll bet that's his reason. Wanna bet?
Gdiafante.........I like what you say about we are all in this together. We ALL, must make a supreme sacrifice.
The United States became a world power because we were the only unscathed winner during WWII. The entire world was dependent upon the United States for products to re-build their countries. The USA was a country of 150 million people. Labor was in short supply and that is what sends wages upward for the masses. This in itself created the middle class.
Our government and their free trade theory was more to blame for allowing the rest of the world to get in on the supply chain. They did not protect what the greatest generation has earned with their valor and victory in WWII.
This debacle included both democrats and republicans. The United States government in my opinion was the biggest perp in the loss of the middle class. When Japan Germany Italy,Korea,France and others rebuilt their countries with our money that created competition for our expensive labor (by world standards) Then when Clinton gave China Free Trade status that opened the door to being able to buy a can opener at Wal Mart for $12.95 a steep discount from the one made by Oster in McMinnville,Tennessee for $24.95. A bicycle made in Lawrenceburg by Murray-Ohio was priced average at $75.00 when the Chinese got those goods into WAL-MART at an average price of $35.00 that pretty much put 2500 employees in Lawrenceburg out of a job. We Americans bought those Chinese can-openers and those Chinese bicycles and the government stood idly by and did nothing.
Murray Ohio is out of business. Oster is out of business in McMinnville and a flourishing electric motor business in Tennessee is gone and so are the good jobs with benefits.
Century Electric in McMinnville (800 employees) Universal Electric in Ripley,Tennessee (600 employees) General Electric in Murfreesboro (300 employees) Morrill Electric in Rocky Fork and Johnson City,Tenn with (200 employees) Century Electric in Lexington,Tenn (300 employees)
I could list on and on the companies that have succumbed to the power of the consumer for lower prices because of the high wages and government restrictions on companies. No tariffs of any consequence. Wholesale mayhem in the manufacturing sector. These were the good jobs.
Today the jobs are service industry jobs and the country has 300 million people not 150 million people wages are being surpressed by the natural evolment of world competition.
The 1% are masters of finance they only reacted to the events that were world driven.
If the United States government wants to help the working class they should do two things. Cut back on the welfare we provide to the underclass and set a minimum wage that meets the criteria required to live in this country,
If the United States government continues to think that people like you are not going to continue to angry that had better do something a lot more action oriented than picking on the 1%. If you raised our taxes 50% it would still be no more than a drop in the bucket of what is needed to right this ship.
Class warfare is nothing more than a very successful campaign strategy.
We could raise tariffs on foreign made goods but obviously now that we are dependent on copper,steel,manganese,silver,chromium,oil, and other commodiites produced elsewhere in the world there would be a reaction to that action. America would then be an economic island. To your point and that of others we may become an island standing against the rest of the world. The world does not want the United States and their crooked and forked tongue government to provide the police work for the rest of the world any longer.
We have big big problems in this country that are bigger than the 1% and raising wages for the working class.
I think nothing the United States can do will recitify this situation. If I had the power it would be to raise the minimum wage and modify the tax rate as Obama has offered on every family making more than ADJ gross income of $300,000. Progressively raising that rate to 50%.
I would raise the capital gains rate to the normal tax rate on capital gains that are held less than three years. On capital gains that are held longer than three years they would remain the same at 15%. This would put great pressure on those Wall Street sluts who are as criminal as our Senators and our Congressmen.
Today it cost me $45.00 to fill up my car with gasoline. The same amount in 2008 cost me $24.00. I would like to personally thank all the people who voted for Obama.
Is this the change you voted for?
"When I'm elected President, the Muslim countries will respect the USA" Sen. Obama, 2007. Wrong
"When I'm elected President I will close GITMO in my first year" Sen. Obama 2008. Wrong
"When I'm elected President I will end both wars is my 1st term" Sen. Obama 2008 One out of two ain't bad.
"If the economy does not rebound, I will be a one term President" President Obama 2010. Let's hope he is right about that one!
You can figure on doubling the prices if he can pull off usurping that office again.
I just heard of something interesting, parnell3rd. My nephew told me Fox News is going to have a show at 8PM Central time and said Barry won't like it.
I'm staying home and locking my doors and dare anyone to come to my house Sunday evening.
I'm gonna have me a big bag of pop corn and a big glass of soda pop.
Listen to the Romney tapes about how he really feels about 50% of Americans.
You know every night when Pres. Bush was in office Wolf Blitzer would give the Casualty count of American Soldiers Killed in Afganistan. He has not done this once since Obama has took office. Could it be because more of our Soldiers have died under Pres. Obama's leadership? Or is Wolf Blitzer a racist? Or what?
Remember he said he would end the war in his forst term. He has 3 months to keep his word.
Another day another lie from Washington DC. They claim that a movie trailor posted on Sept 12 caused all of the violence around the world on Sept 11.
Really? Or can the violence be blamed on the Demoncratic Socialist Convention when they mentioned 21 times that they killed Osama bin Ladle? (misspelled intentionally)

Denise Gadreau is an author, artist and photographer whose work speaks to the heart and soul. The most recent of her eight books is Guided Visualizations for a Stress Free Day. It is a companion guide for those needing a five minute reprieve from their day to day stresses, or those trying to get through a challenging time in life. Through her thought provoking words and inspiring images, her book calls the reader to relax, unwind and begin anew.
Gadreau grew up in Dayville, Connecticut and pursued a bachelor of arts in Education at Eastern Connecticut State University with the intention of teaching art. She enjoyed sharing her love of painting with children,teaching in various early childhood education programs throughout the Brooklyn and Willimantic areas for 20 years. Though she loved children, work took then her in another direction. She worked at the career transitions center at Quinebaug Valley Community College in Danielson and later for the Northeastern Connecticut Council of Governments, until her grant funded position ended. She moved to Florida in 1998 to be with a love interest, and worked at the University of Central Florida Daytona Beach. While down south, she started questioning life.
She became a voracious reader, checking books out of the library on religion, spirituality, near death experiences, and other similar topics, and in 2009 she wrote Crystal Meditations, her first book.
"I've always been interested in rocks" says Gadreau who had studied geology in college. "I found myself answering questions about life through a blog, and a friend said I should write a book." So she did. Then she wrote others that were reflections on spirit and nature. "I saw the beauty of the world and realized how we are one."
Her love of hiking led her to discoveries about life, as she spent time in the natural world, her camera by her side. Between 2009 and 2013 she compiled 8 books that reflect her gifts as a writer and photographer, including one novel that can best be described as a time travel mystery adventure. Her others, like Guided Visualizations for a Stress Free Day lean toward inspirational non-fiction, where she can share her ongoing journey to developing her unique perspective on life.
She publishes through the self- publishing platform of Amazon.com, called CreateSpace and has been happy with the results. "They make it easy for someone wanting to self-publish, and distribution through Ingram makes it available through any bookstore including Amazon.com."
In 2010, Gadreau returned to Connecticut where her hiking has allowed continued exploration of numererous state parks and natural treasures over the next three years.
"I had an awareness of nature when I was younger but I became increasingly awakened and more attuned while in Florida. It helped me to understand the divine essence of God," says Gadreau who considers herself spiritual rather than religious. "I wanted to visit places I'd gone as a child and some places people just told me about. I took pictures wherever I went, mostly in the spring, summer and fall."
Guided Visualizations for a Stress Free Day has more than 90 full color images, almost all of which were taken in Connecticut with just a few from Rhode Island. This pictorial invitation to some of Connecticut's most pristine locations, invites the reader into a journey of discovery of nature while the reflections invite settling into one's self. It is at once, an inward and outward journey. Gadreau writes, "An "ahhhhhh" moment! You have to have one at least once a week!"
Using a Canon digital Powershot SD 600 with a zoom lens, she finds her own "ah haaa" moments. It is not uncommon for her to take 700 photos during one hike. She estimates that out of 100 photographs, perhaps 20 might be good. Her love of photography is likely to have come from her mother, Lorette Gadreau, who was an award winning professional photographer in her day. She suspects she's learned a little bit from her mom. Her gift of writing comes from a lifelong passion for the written word that began when she was about 10 years old and wrote her first short story. It was a "weird space story." She is currently working on a sequel to her novel, The Epic Catalog, as well as other inspirational books that will feature her photography.
"I don't know why I do it. I love all people. I hope to help people see the beauty of the world through my pictures and de-stress. I ask myself, how can I help them feel better about themselves and relax? When we do a kind act for someone it makes the world a better place. I'm looking to make a difference in the world, not to make me a bigger person. But through doing something that helps others, I feel better too."
Her final invitation in the book is filled with wisdom.
"There are no words, just to be…"

Juventus are breathing a sigh of relief as Alberto Aquilani is likely to be fit again to face Fiorentina on Saturday.
The Italy international midfielder asked to be substituted against Genoa at the weekend after tweaking a muscle in his right leg.
However, tests carried out yesterday indicate that Aquilani was suffering from cramp, which slightly bothered his adductor muscle.
Juventus' medical staff have advised Aquilani to rest for two days, but he is expected to be back available for the team's next match in Serie A.

I bought a monsoon tarp from the Odds & Ends sale but when it arrived it didn't have doors so I ordered a new one.
I set it up in my garage and it is in perfect shape just no doors. It is still perfectly functional as a "hex" tarp (seven sides actually but who's counting). Dimensions are 85"x120", weight is listed as 18oz including doors but I haven't weighed it as is. Coyote brown in color.
I would prefer to trade this rather than straight out sell it. I'm basically getting back into the backpacking side of camping so there's lots of I would be interested in. I would also be interested to "trade up" for an uq. Each person will pay for shipping their own parcel. Located in Canada.
Edit: In the name making sure I'm following the rules I'll add a price /trade value $65

When Richard Scrushy, HealthSouth's CEO, was preparing for his trial in 2005 he funded a television show entitled Viewpoint in the Bible Belt of southern Alabama. It was a good strategy to use the faith-based message of the show to persuade the pool of perspective jurors to have some sympathy on the condemned Scrushy. It worked. Scrushy was found
not guilty on the federal charges but he was later found guilty on other charges relating to bribing government officials. It should be noted that those charges and the resulting sentence happened outside of Viewpoint's viewing area.
So one would think that the sage strategy of Scrushy would be taken up by others in the same situation, particularly if one's trial is going to be in the Southern U.S. Allen Stanford falls into that category so I would expect Texas would be a wonderful place him to start a televangelist ministry in preparation for his upcoming trial for his alleged Ponzi Scheme. However, Stanford had another idea….he went to CNBC. The same network that interviewed Bernie Ebbers (WorldCom), profiled Bernard Madoff, and have a pending documentary on that evil empire Goldman Sachs.
Let me give Mr. Stanford some advice, the audience on CNBC wants to see you hung not canonized! Know your audience. You're looking for compassion, forgiveness and some sympathy that money can buy with large donations to local charities. The audience on CNBC represents capitalists that operate in markets that are supposed to be fair. Any hint of a scheme, especially post Bernard Madoff, raises the hair on the necks of everyone on Wall Street and anyone with money in the market. In other words, everyone who watches CNBC must hate Mr. Stanford. You don't see Karl Rove doing a special on MSNBC, do you?
Judge David Hittner, the justice who will preside over the Stanford trial, placed a gag order on the Stanford criminal case last week. In doing so, he was doing Allen Stanford a favor in canceling any more television appearances. My gut tells me that Stanford was shooting for a spot on CNN's Nancy Grace, which, most likely, would not have gone well.
Allen Stanford, be a good defendant and listen to your lawyers. The lawyers you have now are probably giving you the same advice as all the ones you have fired....SHUT UP! The judge is doing you a favor by telling you to do the same thing.

Even though the 12 days of Christmas technically takes place from Christmas to January 5th, a couple of Employee Partners from our marketing team thought it would be fun to create a ClubCorp version of the song for the 12 days leading up to Christmas! Maybe you saw our social media posts and tweets? If not, have no fear! Here's a copy of the song for you to sing along to and cheer! We'll save you the trouble of going day by day; here's the ClubCorp Christmas Song for Day 12! Enjoy!
On the twelfth day of Christmas
ClubCorp shares with me:
Twelve Members dining
Eleven golfers golfing
Ten business meetings
Nine parties hosting
Eight couples drinking
Seven kids a swimming
Six muscles toning
Five golf courses
Four types of club
Three charities
Two wedding bells
and 200 clubs around the country.
The holidays at Oak Pointe Country Club are all about creating magic moments for Members! The Club started the holiday season off with a Pumpkin Pie Family Night, wherekids get to play chef and make their own pumpkin pies. Ingredients are lined up on long tables and Executive Chef Pat Srock helps the littlest Members prepare and mix the pies. While the pies cook, Member Relations Coordinator Dori Gulick entertains the children with games and races.
During Gingerbread Night the tables overflow with candy, frosting and gingerbread houses. Parents and grandparents come to watch, help decorate and dine. This year, two special guests – an elf and one of Santa's reindeer – stopped in to check on the children.
The Santa Brunch is the grand finale with Santa Claus sitting in a sleigh – made of real gingerbread and frosting! – surrounded by Christmas trees, reindeer and even a mailbox for Santa's letters. Entire families, including the parents and grandparents, get their photos taken with Santa. By the end of the event, the mailbox is full of letters from the kids, who each later receive a letter back from Santa. Many of the kids inevitably ask, "Where is Santa's real sleigh?" and the answer is always, "Up on the roof with the reindeer, of course!"
Great job to the Oak Pointe staff for working together as a team to offer these wonderful events to Members!
Emmitt Smith, eight-time Pro Bowler and four-time First Team All-Pro and Hall of Famer is at it again…but this time off the football field! Emmitt and his wife Pat care deeply about underprivileged kids' futures, which led them to create the Pat and Emmitt Smith Charities "which offer kids education and experiences that broaden their opportunities for success."
To help raise awareness and funds for their organization, the Smiths will host seven qualifying golf tournaments around the country, evaluating a team's "fundraising skills[and]…golf ability." At the end of the qualifying rounds, "the highest fundraising team and the best golfers from each tournament will be invited to the Emmitt Smith Celebrity Invitational" in Dallas in May.
ClubCorp is a proud sponsor of The Emmitt Smith Golf Challenge, and will host the seven qualifying rounds on the following dates:
- The Clubs of Kingwood — January 20, 2014
- The Hills of Lakeway — March 3, 2014
- Tampa Palms Country Club — March 12, 2014
- Queen's Harbor Yacht & Country Club — March 17, 2014
- Bear's Best Atlanta — March 25, 2014
- Las Colinas Country Club — March 31, 2014
- Haile Plantation — April 14, 2014

On Saturday December 7th Venus Williams stopped by Mission Hills Country Club to showcase her tennis and active wear line, EleVen by Venus. Inspired by her legendary tennis career, Venus wanted to create a clothing line that did not restrict movement and that "allowed you to express your individuality, cultivate strength and confidence and makes you feel good every time you put it on" (quote courtesy of https://elevenbyvenus.com/).
To exhibit her clothes, Venus put on a fashion show at Mission Hills, which was a huge success! Members were so excited about the clothes that they even bought quite a few items at the Pro Shop after the show.
Aside from the fashion show, there was a Q&A session with Venus where she reflected on her tennis career. Incase you didn't know, Venus holds 22 Grand Slam titles (seven in singles, 13 in women's doubles and two in mixed doubles), is considered one of the best grass court players, is a former World No. 1 ranked player and is an all-time great in women's tennis! Oh, did we forget to mention the four Olympic gold medals she won too? Needless to say, Venus has had an amazing tennis career and has a promising future with her clothing line and other endeavors.
EleVen's motto "look good, play well" was illustrated at Mission Hills not only in the fashion show that took place, but on the faces of all the Members wearing their new clothes.
Congratulations to Florida State University for clinching the Atlantic Coast Conference title this weekend after a 45-7 victory over Duke University. FSU is now set to play Auburn University in theBCS Championship at the Rose Bowl on January 6, 2014.
Over the weekend, the University Center Club at FSU hosted a banquet for the football team in their ballroom. Tim Drown, Regional Executive Chef at UCC, even displayed a special ice carving for the team! It was a great evening to celebrate and honor the Seminoles' achievement.
University of North Carolina students who were unable to travel home for Thanksgiving still enjoyed a deliciously grand meal at The Carolina Club, which hosted a Member-sponsored Thanksgiving feast for all those left on campus.
According to WNCN News, Brian Gottfried, a UNC senior, couldn't travel home for the holiday because he is "a member of the marching band who was playing at the football gam
e that weekend." He was "incredibly grateful. I think Thanksgiving is a great holiday to be able to share with a lot of people and being able to share it with the students and having the generosity to be able to do that in a time when a lot of people are off doing their own thing has been wonderful."
In the spirit of giving, Carolina Club Members paid for students' dinners, some Members providing as many as 10 meals. Overall 195 students from 30 countries enjoyed a meal the Carolina Club this Thanksgiving.
A special thanks to the sponsors of the event, The Carolina Club Members and the UNC Educational Foundation for their kindness and generosity.

Reward points for your daily spending is nothing new. We've been seeing the system since ages for credit cards and we've even seen it for savings bank transactions from country's leading bank, SBI. Now, ICICI Bank, the second largest bank also forays in to rewards program for its savings bank customers.
I have personally experienced SBI's reward points program (for Internet Banking) and I think it was a kind of disaster. It doesn't exist now; may be it lasted for a couple of years. You just don't earn any note worthy reward points until you spend too much and there weren't even any redeemable things for little reward points. You earn about 25 paisa for every Rs.100 spent using your internet banking account and the minimum redeemable amount was Rs.400, which will be added back to your bank account. With a little calculation, you'd need to transact Rs.4 lakhs to earn Rs.400 in cash reward. A disaster was always on the writing (Note: There's also a different reward points system for State Bank Debit Cards).
Where ICICI Savings bank reward points differ
In a lot of different ways. Starting with a fact that instead of crediting reward points back in to the account as cash, here you can redeem points for physical things. And instead of earning penny reward points for your spends, you earn decent points for certain things, which is not just limited to Internet banking transactions. For example, here you can earn reward points for just activating mobile banking (iMobile), more points when you shop on iMobile, points for adding your family members to your account, activate ICICI trading platform (iDirect).
These are apart from the normal transactions where you are credited some reward points such as shop with Internet banking or physically using Debit card, Pay bills, Pay for loans and RD's .
The bank has partnered with Payback so you have a wide variety of options to redeem your points, from movie tickets, to travel discounts, electronics, home appliances, shopping coupons, fashion accessories etc.
Note: All retail savings account holders (current a/c holders are not eligible) are automatically eligible to participate in the program and the reward points are being credited from 1 September 2012.

Ex- Big Boss contestant Kamaal R Khan (KRK)'s latest allegation against Kapil Sharma, the host of Comedy Nights with Kapil, is that Kapil is trying to threaten him using dons and gundas! Yes, we know that Kamaal R Khan certainly is not among those who believes in letting things go easily, and this time Kapil has been no exception.
MUST READ: Kapil Sharma V/S Kamaal R Khan: Dirty Twitter Battle! (Pics)
The ugly abusive Twitter war that ensued between Kapil Sharma and the controversial Ek Villain actor Kamaal R Khan has been making a lot of tongues wag since yesterday (2nd July 2014). Kapil Sharma walked out of the conversation mid way, and apparently even made his Manager delete all the abusive posts made by him from his Twitter profile, but Kamaal R Khan has not let go even after 24 hours.
KRK continued posting good morning and good night tweets that read "Good night and kiss to my millions of fans n a tight kick on the ass of each of my hater n enemy Dhadaam. Uthth! Ek Aur Dhadaam." and "Good morning and kiss to my dear friends n kick to my haters."
DON'T MISS: If Kapil Sharma Romanced Sunny Leone, Anushka Sharma, Alia Bhatt, Deepika...In Bank Chor...(Pics)
Then he began posting a series of tweets accusing Kapil Sharma of threatening to harm him. According to KRK, Kapil sent dons to call and threaten him. He is also planning to 'complaint' about the issue to the Police. I wonder what would Kapil have replied to this. Babaji Ka Thullu? LOL.
Read KRK's tweets in the slideshow and decide for yourselves-
Kapil Clarifies
When Kapil was quizzed about the whole issue, he said, "Is this really out in media? I don't even know who this KRK is. I have never met him, never spoken ill about him. Around six months ago, Mika Singh told me about someone calling me '2Rsppl (Two Rupees people)' on a social networking site. I wondered why this man who never crossed my path would say something like this about me. I was quiet then, but his tweets irked me badly yesterday. I didn't want to retaliate but even I'm a human." Source: Deccan Chronicle
Will KRK Stop Here?
Kapil said about KRK, "Thank God this man got much required publicity and attention. Hope he stays calm now. I don't say bad things about anyone, so I naturally wouldn't like someone talking bad about me. I still don't know why he is creating nuisance for no reason." Source: DC
Kamaal's Challenge To Haters
Kamaal challenged his haters to a rendezvous at a coffee house. Who cares? We just hate you, and that's it.
Kamaal R Khan Is Filmy?!
KRK wants to recreate scenes from underworld films, in reality, I believe. And look at the first tweet- he has crazyyy fans too. Why didn't the world end.
Desperate For Attention
Well, we can see that KRK has even dragged Amitabh Bachchan and 'good friend' Mika Singh into the tweets. Attention-hungry or what!
Dadi Too?
Not just Bittu, but Dadi aka Ali Asgar was also targetted by the attentiion monger earlier. Who will be his next target?
Babaji Ka Thullu
Kapil has chosen to remain silent on the matter, but I bet what's going on in his head is, "Babaji Ka Thullu to you."

Color By Decade: The 1930s
Everything is a reaction against the past: we against our parents, Beatniks against conformists, Expressionists against Impressionists, youth against age. This is true, too, in design. By the 1930s, Modernism had firmly taken hold of the world, and we as a society were quite finished with the starchy, buttoned-up, heavily brocaded Victorian era, and all that would imply.
Poured concrete in construction eliminated load-bearing walls, allowing big interior spaces and big windows through which to view them. Plastics were born, and mass-production increased. The Bauhaus swept away ornament and embraced the beauty of functionality. Color could be determined by theory, not dictated by history, status, seemliness, wealth, or rarity of materials.
Stylistically, there were several design influences at play in the 1930s, depending on your reference points: Frank Lloyd Wright (Fallingwater; the Johnson Wax Headquarters, a prairie color palette), Corbusier (anti-bourgeoisie, color as theory), Art Deco (furniture in the 20s, architecture in the 30s), Hollywood films (from Grand Hotel to Oz), and MoMA. But this was also the time of the Great Depression and the run-up to World War II, so perhaps color for interiors were somewhat muted in keeping with the times.
Modernism's simplicity and open spaces called for a much more subdued palette of pale tints then the heavy pattern-on-pattern schemes and rich colors of previous generations. This was the machine age, after all, streamlined and pre-fabricated — dark was out, light was in. As these illustrations suggest (shown with "before" inserts), here are some of the dominant colors of the 30s: jade, celadon and seafoam green, pale gold and grassy tans, pale silvered almond and walnut. I don't see a lot of red or warm tones in this decade, nor saturation or drama. And if we want to let the avant-garde into the dialogue, I think we'd add a zip of Corbusier cobalt into the mix, and well as a glam Art Deco plum or lavender.
As we move back through time in this series of articles, it becomes increasingly difficult to find good photographs or visuals with which to illustrate a general point. So I was delighted to come across Patrick Baty from U.K. based Paints and Papers to nudge me along. The company offers a new 1930s paint palette, and their website is a good resource for further research.

Caste discrimination is based on a caste system where those born into the lowest castes, who call themselves Dalits, are treated as subhuman and 'untouchables'. There are an estimated 260 million people affected by caste discrimination worldwide. They are often forced to live, eat and work in segregation from the rest of society and their basic human rights are severely restricted. They suffer…

Associated Press
Friday, September 7, 2007
CAIRO, Sept. 6 -- Osama bin Laden will release a new video in the coming days, ahead of the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, al-Qaeda's media arm said Thursday in a Web announcement. If authentic, the images would be the first of the terrorist network's leader in nearly three years.
The announcement included a still photo purportedly from the video, showing bin Laden addressing the camera, his beard fully black. In his past videos, bin Laden's beard was almost entirely gray with dark streaks.
[A senior intelligence official said that U.S. intelligence is examining the picture. "At this point, it isn't clear" whether it's an old photo, a new one or something that has been doctored, the official said, Post staff writer Karen DeYoung reported from Washington. The official noted that since the last verified bin Laden video in October 2004, there have been many new videos promoted on radical Islamic Web sites but none of them has materialized.]

Easy to take!
I love Carnitine Tropical Punch by NOW, I've purchased it multiple times in both flavors. I take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach & it works great.
The taste.

Tastes good!
Liquid L-Carnitine by NOW Sports tastes pretty good. Much better than swallowing a pill.
Taste. Fast and free shipping.

A must have in my regimen!
I love NOW Sports Liquid L-Carnitine Tropical Punch by NOW! I have seen results as far as muscle toning and definition. I lift and it's good when you find supplements that go along with as hard as you work. The taste is okay, and you only take 15 ml anyway. So it's no big deal.
The amount for the price, check out a supplement shop, this product is expensive there!!
Taste but it's not the end of the world.

Love this supplement!
I bought NOW Sports L-Carnitine by NOW to aid in my fitness journey and hopefully help lower my body fat percentage. I have been using it now for about a week and I feel less bloated! Time will tell if my body fat decreases! Loving taking it so far. PureFormula shipped the product extremely fast and this is by far the cheapest site I could find the product on. Will definitely be reordering!
The flavor. The health benefits.
The only downside is you are suppose to wait 20-30 minutes after taking it (on empty stomach). This could be problematic if you get hungry like myself. Overall not a huge deal. I usually go directly to the fridge when I wake up and take it, then get dressed/get ready and its 20 minutes later before you know it.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.
