NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in Eco Science Solutions, Inc. ("Eco Science" or the "Company") (Other OTC:ESSI) of the July 24, 2017 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
If you invested in Eco Science stock or options between May 1, 2017 and May 19, 2017 and would like to discuss your legal rights, click here: www.faruqilaw.com/ESSI. There is no cost or obligation to you.
You can also contact us by calling Richard Gonnello toll free at 877-247-4292 or at 212-983-9330 or by sending an e-mail to email@example.com.
The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of all those who purchased Eco Science securities between May 1, 2017 and May 19, 2017 (the "Class Period"). The case, STIRES v. ECO SCIENCE SOLUTIONS, INC. et al, No. 17-cv-03707 was filed on May 24, 2017.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws. Specifically, on May 19, 2017, the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a temporary suspension of trading Eco Science Solutions securities "because of concerns regarding the accuracy and adequacy of information" relating to the Company's proposed acquisition of Ga-Du Bank, Inc.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Or can you be a vanguard and still pull viable numbers? I ask because I want to dps as a trooper but I don't quite like the idea of the giant blaster cannon.

Hibernate, help me
I have the classes:
Java Code:
public class Rol { private int id; private Set projectMember = new HashSet(); private String description; ....getters y setters.... } public class ProjectMember { private int id; private Member member; private Project project; ....getters y setters.... }
Java Code:
hibernate-mapping> <class name="Model.Rol" table="item10.role"> <id name="id" type="int" column="OID"> <generator class="native"/> </id> <property name="description" column="DESCRIPTION"/> <set name="projectMember" table="item10.pm_roles"> <key column="ELT"/> <many-to-many class="Model.ProjectMember" column="id_projectmember"/> </set> </class> </hibernate-mapping>
And i try to do a query with HQL:
Query query = session.createQuery("select m FROM Model.Member m, Model.Projec p, Model.Rol r, Model.ProjectMember pMember where r.projectMember.proyecto.id=p.id ");
the red sentence gives me an error. If I use r.projectMember.id works fine but if I use r.projectMember.project.id gives me the error before mentioned.

MELDRUM'S latest single, "PAID" is available now on iTunes (itunes.apple.com/us/
MELDRUM's first two singles "A TOAST TO ROMANCE" and "BLACKENED BLUE" are out now on iTunes (itunes.apple.com/us/
"PAID" is streaming now at: soundcloud.com/
MICHELLE'S untimely demise before any of her guitar tracks for "Lifer" were able to be laid down led the three remaining members to come together in tribute to her, to honour Michelle's vision of the album, with Laura Christine playing the majority of the rhythm and bass guitars, as well as all the leads. Partial proceeds from the album will go to MICHELLE'S son Jake Thomas who she left behind when she passed.
MELDRUM has toured worldwide with Lemmy Kilmister's Motorhead, Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society, Sepultura, Danzig, Nashville Pussy, as well as sharing the stage with many more. Touting a combination of mammoth vocal styles along with aggressively melodic vocals, mind bending guitar riffs and a rhythm section that creates fiercely bombastic grooves, this is what gives MELDRUM their unique, cutting edge sound.

As I said in my London post I'm completely enamored with Yayoi Kusama and her work. Just buying some of the goods from her show wasn't enough so I decided to do a selection of nails inspired by her paintings. Professional nail artist Boom Nails actually did sets for the Tate Modern exhibit. But I wanted to try my own novice hand at it and pick some different works.
My happy Yayoi Kusama nail wheel
Close-up of some of the nails
Selections of artworks (paintings, sculptures, installations) and the lady herself that I drew my inspiration from.
There's some I'd like to perfect but overall I really liked doing this wheel.
Actual Nails
Since I love wearing nail art I had to do my own nails of course. These were made with a combination of gel and polish like Wah Nails did for me. Although I use a softer more temporary gel, they use a hard gel. Even with my amount of non caring and thrashing about they last around a week and a half before peeling. They don't chip.
Spotted Pumpkin Nails
A bit of yellow enjoying the outside.
The inspiration for those nails was her pumpkins. I love the way she uses dots with depth.
Infinity Installation Nails
Kind of like a galaxy. They look out of focus, but that was the painting style I was trying to accomplish.
The nails are based on this photo of one of her Infinity installations. They're really amazing and very mood changing to be in. I tried to create that surreal quality in the nails.
I forgot how rewarding and fun it is to wear something that inspires you. More than just parts, but something you can look at and it makes you happy.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Importing Canadian Vehicles to the U.S.
I am trying to do the same as you did.
You have now idea hope this has eased my anxiety.
Can you tell me wher to go exactly at Sky Harbour ?
Really appreciate what you have done here.
Well I did finally did get through customs. I did a lot of research on websites. There is a notation on the EPA website that all 1997 Chryslers are approved for import. Since the 1997 Roadtreck I have is a Dodge that qualified me. It was a major discussion at the border but I had a previous discussion with a woman in the border import office in Buffalo who agreed with me that I don't need the letter because of that. I had the border officer call her and they let me through, reluctantly.
Got it done......thanks again for your very helpful post
Did customs make a copy of the compliance letter or just look at it ,or take it? Is hs-7 the only form you needed to fill out? What exactly did they do at customs? thanks!
Did they already know your vin or did you have to fill that out on the hs-7 form? What did you tell them before you came so they were ready for you, and do you by chance have the phone # for customs in the airport?

importkia Posts: 2I am a US citizen living in Canada. I bought a 2010 Kia Soul from a dealer new about one year ago while living in Canada. I am now moving, next week or so, back to the US and am struggling to make sure I can drive the car into Canada and "import" it to stay with me in my new residence in the US.
Kia provided a letter stating the car complies with all US EPA standards, but will not provide a letter of conformance or compliance in regards to US safety standards. Nobody can seem to tell me what is non-conforming or what modifications would be required (if any) to make it conform.
I don't know what to say about this. Mine had a sticker on the door stating compliance with US saftey standards. But if it helps all that the border officers cared about was EPA. They never even looked at saftey.
Good Luck!
I imported a Chevy Camaro. GM supplied a letter compliance for safety but not the epa.
So we had it tested in AZ and it passed. we took this certificate along with the gm letter of compliance to the customs in Phoenix and filed out the paper work there.
It only took around 5 minutes and we were done, they did not keep any docs.
berlaw Posts: 1I purchased my ssr truck in US & now want to sell it . If I sell it back into the US what do I have to go through at the boarder US customs ???? I do have the original Title from the original owner could I just drive threw and hand over the truck and original Title in US ???
pamarama Posts: 1Felt I needed to post about my experience here, as I just went through this process today, with a 1999 Honda Civic, importing from Canada to the USA. I'm a Canadian citizen but permanent resident of the US for the past 8 years. I had a lot of anxiety about it, but it turned out to be a simple process As other posters mentioned, you do not need the HS-7. What you need is a letter on original letterhead from the manufacturer (in my case, American Honda, if importing a Honda manufactured in Canada into the USA). Do this in advance, as it took a few weeks to get this letter from them. I crossed the Windsor-Detroit border today with a temporary 10-day plate on the car I obtained in Ontario when the title was transferred to me (at a cost of $15). The customs officer asked me for the vehicle registration/title before even asking for my ID (a greencard, in my case), and when I planned to import the car. I said, "uh...now". I didn't realize there was an option?? Anyway, he sent me inside to fill out a form "CBP 7501" - "Entry Summary". They asked for the vehicle registration, my ID again, and gave me an explanatory form to help me fill out the form correctly. They inspected the car, had a big discussion about one ambigous line in the letter from US Honda stating the car was "non-compliant" re: instrument panel differences. (i.e. km/hr vs mph on the odometer), went out to inspect the car again, and then issued me 2 copies of the stamped, approved 7501, one for me and one for Secretary of State so I can register the car here in Mich. They were extremely courteous and helpful. As long as you have a letter from the manufacturer stating the vehicle complies with US standards, you will be ok. Make sure you have a temp plate on the car and insurance. Do your homework! Many late-model cars are importable into the USA. Expect to spend a half hour or so at customs going through the process, but they will help you through it.
Oh, and another good thing...I was charged ZERO duty on it at the border. I asked the Customs Officer what I should write under the "value" section on the form, as the car was used and a gift to me from my dad. He guesstimated $2000, but wrote $0 in the value for duty section, so I was charged no duty. He said if I had been importing a brand new Ferrari, I'd be assessed duty, but not for an older car like the Honda.
When I register the car at the Secretary of State office on Tues., they will likely charge state tax on the assessed value of $2000. I'm ok with that! :-)
Glad to see this forum here. The process of importing cars can be a bit mystifying. Just do your homework! The info is available online or with a phonecall or two. Just make sure you have your ducks in a row when you show up at Customs. They will help you with the paperwork.
Cheers! E-mail me if I can help in any way. I can relate to the confusion on this...took me months to sort it all out, but in the end, it was a process, but a smooth one.
us_cross_honda Posts: 1It is going to happen to me as well.
I am crossing US Border at Detriot -Windsor from Canada with my Canadian Honda Civic.
I have a recall clearance letter from Canadian Honda Manufacture, and waiting for a compilance letter from US Honda Manufacture.
I don't have time to wait the compilance letter from US Honda Manufacture.
I am wondering if I cross the border without this letter or not.
Do you have any experience?

nitlsu Posts: 7I have a 2005 Honda Civic that I imported from Canada to US a few years back. I did the necessary paperwork and it's registered in TX right now. Presently I am looking at selling the thing...can I do so? The speedometer and more importantly the odometer are in KMs (at least the speedometer has both units listed...not the odo though). Do I need a new odometer? Can someone who has done this whole selling process before give me some suggestions?
tracetoba Posts: 1I recently became a permenent resident in the US living in Texas. I am working on importing my 2007 Honda Civic. The car is already in the US. When I originally drove into the US it was as a visitor so nobody inspected my car or anything for import. Now I want to be able to register and insure the car in Texas. I already have the compliance letter. I have been told I now have to take my car to a place called Wallace Labs, in Houston for testing and such, and pay $3400 to Wallace Labs before I can register the car in TX. Does anybody know if this is correct?
rathahonni Posts: 1After trying to obtain a letter of compliance from General Motors of Canada,i was informed that they no longer issue these letters. So be advised,should u desire to register a Canadian General Motors car in the U.S.,I was forced to consult a broker that knows all the ins and outs of this process,the cost for me was 350. dollars. But lucky for me ,i am located near the Canadian Border as is the broker which made the process much easier. Money well spent for me.
ram39 Posts: 1i bought a car from canada and i have the title and bill of sale and also i worked an getting the manufacturing letter and i have it now. My question is will the sos in us Mi give me a temporary liscense plate to go get the car from canada ?

[Zariyat 51:1] By oath of those which carry away while dispersing.
[Zariyat 51:2] Then by oath of those which carry the burdens.
[Zariyat 51:3] Then by oath of those which move with ease.
[Zariyat 51:4] Then by oath of those which distribute by the command.

[Zariyat 51:9] Only those who are destined to revert, are reverted from it.
[Zariyat 51:10] Slain be those who mould from their imaginations.
[Zariyat 51:11] Those who have forgotten in a state of intoxication.
[Zariyat 51:12] They ask, When will be the Day of Judgement?
[Zariyat 51:13] It will be on the day when they will be roasted in the fire.
[Zariyat 51:14] And it will be said to them, Taste your own roasting; this is what you were impatient for.
[Zariyat 51:15] Indeed the pious are among Gardens and water springs.
[Zariyat 51:16] Accepting the rewards given by their Lord; they were indeed virtuous before this.

SexyHub Coupon
$17.99 {41% discounted} for one month
$5.83/mo. {81% discounted} for twelve months
SexyHub is a network indeed, full of five websites called – Girlfriend XXX, Lesbea, Massage Rooms, Mom XXX, Dana Jones. The sexy thing is that with this collective websites, the variety that comes through is very wide.
They do have young lesbian, oil sex, hardcore, milfs, pornstar content, anal, bjs, and a great amount of categories. Now you can claim that they are doing all these things and not mastering any of the production to fine art forms, because they do. Each website has its primary niche that it concerns itself with. The website goes into their particular sort of production with vigor. So there are some that take the type of sexual approach that erotica movies take, and there are the others.
You will find casting is also dependent on the porn site and what they want to make. They can use amateurs, 18 year olds, mature babes, models, pornstars, and whomever else they would like to freaking use. It's their prerogative after all. The websites maybe have one sort of template they use when it comes to the web design. It is fine; it gives uniform features and makes surfing easy. On the not so good side, you kinda feel that they could look much nicer than this. But let's not consider the superficial face of the presentation; let's look at the content, the real content! To get to it you can check the dates of the updates to search for the new content. There are categories too, and other professional tools for working your way through to what in-between the galleries.
They could even be more helpful if they go ahead and put some advanced search function available inside. Anyway, there is no method that is 100 percent perfect, so these guys get the important things correct. For your cash and time, there are enough movies here (well over 1-thousand) since they have been making content since 2011. Not all the updates come across all the websites like every day or at a frequent established rate. They are random updates all over the five websites, but there will be something daily. So also cause of this, the websites have different amount of content. The resolution of the films is top shelf high definition.
The jpegs are online view able through functioning slideshow feature, and they have 3 types of sizes. The streaming of vids also has different settings, and so do the downloads. Everything is in its place like it should. On production there is nothing more they can possibly improve on except now go to 4K ultra HD and 3D. Maybe it's coming, let's be patient. There is a feeling of inclusive eroticness that this network brings with its types of production, something that only SexyHub can do and continues to in their selective creative way. This is great looking videos and it's recommended you visit!

A lot of good products have features that appear somewhat trivial to replicate, but in reality would be quite complex to do so. I call these features code icebergs because they expose what a casual observer or competitor imagines is a weekend hackathon, but underneath there is a humongous mass of necessarily complicated code that makes everything work as seamlessly as it appears.
In my experience, the iceberg part of a code iceberg often involves handling of a lot edge cases. These edge cases are sometimes actually created by making the user interface simpler, e.g. less or free-form input fields.
At my current startup, DuckDuckGo, a good example is the seemingly straightforward task of taking Wikipedia and turning it into good Zero-click Info to display against queries. At first blush it's trivial--I mean come on, the Wikipedia dumps output something called abstract.xml with a description of "extracted abstracts for Yahoo."
Yet when you get into it and start exposing it to real users, you surface all those edge cases. That dump in particular is actually completely unusable IMHO and I ended up discarding it within a few days of discovering it. It chokes on lots of things.
Wikipedia has templates, disambiguation pages, initial warnings and infoboxes, redirects, malformed/complicated sentences, etc. etc., all of which you want to deal with if you don't want glaring errors. And then once you're in there, you might as well start capturing more good stuff like related topics, categories, the right images, good external links, etc. etc. And what about updating it in real time? It starts to really add up.
I like code icebergs. They're really a marvel to look at when you can see the whole picture. They also lure competitors in, who often get sunk (at least initially) not understanding the scope of the problem. They're good barriers to entry, fuel in build vs buy decisions, and the underpinnings of good UX.

By Howard Campbell—–
AS organisers of Reggae Sumfest prepare to launch their 20th anniversary show on Sunday in Montego Bay, it is fitting to recall the achievements of one of that city's pioneer music acts.
The Blues Busters (Phillip 'Boasie' James and Lloyd 'Lloydie' Campbell) were both born in Montego Bay. They got their start in the tourist town's clubs and hotels before moving to Kingston where they hit the big time as ska performers.
THE BLUES BUSTERS… got their start in the tourist town's clubs and hotels
Left: Lloyd Campbell…Right:Phillip James
James and Campbell never had the classic sound of their contemporaries from the rival Treasure Isle and Studio One. Their distinctive feel was inspired by American crooners like Nat King Cole and Sam Cooke and soul groups out of the American south.
Many of their hits from the 1960s included Wings Of a Dove, Behold and Soon You'll Be Gone were done for the conservative Dynamic Records which recorded mainly for a middle-class audience.
A key figure at Dynamic in those days was Ronnie Nasralla, who not only produced some of the duo's songs, but managed them for 20 years.
"They are definitely one of the best harmony groups to come out of Jamaica," Nasralla said recently.
Nasralla remembers James and Campbell going to the United States for shows and impressing bigwigs at Capitol Records. But he says the sound that made them stars at home proved to be their Achilles Heel in the United States.
"The reason they didn't make it there was people said they sounded too much like (American soul duo) Sam and Dave," said Nasralla.
Like many of the harmony groups of the 1960s, the Blues Busters' popularity waned considerably in the 1970s as Jamaicans and foreigners tuned into the rebel tones of roots-reggae.
The 'Busters' died in New York City, James in 1989 and Campbell three years later. Both are buried in Montego Bay.
They are part of Jamaica's 50th anniversary celebrations. A 23-song medley of their biggest hits and reggae standards, appears on Tad's Record's Jamaica 50: Then and Now commemorative album to be released July 24.

Dinosaurs Carried Monster Fleas
Researchers have come across the fossils of gigantic fleas in China. Diying Huang of the Nanjing Institute of Geology told the Associated Press (AP) they were lucky to come across the specimens. The fleas were discovered in a Chinese fossil market where they discovered they came from Daohugou in northeastern China, where a fossil bed from 165 million years was discovered.
The fossil bed preserved the fleas in a brownish film of volcanic ash with grains of rock so fine that the most minute details such as antennae and other details could be seen.These ancient fleas were very different from the modern variety. Nature.com notes that the fleas were between 8 and 21 millimeters, almost ten times the size of modern fleas that range from 1 to 10 millimeters.
The fleas are also different in that these ancient monsters had not yet developed their spring-jumping mechanism. Michael Engel, a palaeoentomologist at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, said these insects must have been experts in ambushing their hosts. He speculates they may have caught their meals by "hiding in the periphery and then scrambling onto the host for brief periods to feed before bolding again."
The researchers wonder what the prey for these monster insects were. Not only were the insect´s bodies supersized, but the fleas mouthparts were designed to work into thick hides, possibly dinosaurs. Their mouths contained armored structures studded with saw-like projections. Modern fleas have a smooth probiscus.
George Poinar, from Oregon State University in Corvallis speculates that the fleas "could have attacked dinosaurs or possibly pterosaurs."
The research was published in the journal Nature.

Feature Description
Release Date
Sun RPC Library Extensions
The RPC library extensions project extends the Sun ONC+TM RPC library with an asynchronous protocol. Programming interfaces have been added to the Transport Independent Remote Procedure Calls to provide one-way asynchronous messaging and non-blocking I/O.
Sun's Telco Platform users can use the RPC library extensions to help with significant semantic changes to the RPC interface. The extensions are useful to customers who require both synchronous and asynchronous protocols that require a single vendor solution. The library extensions provide a level of functionality and availability that Sun's Network Equipment Provider customers demand.
Further information is provided in the ONC+ Developer's Guide in the Solaris 9 Software Developer Collection. For instructions on how to access Solaris 9 documentation, see Early Access in this document.
Solaris PPP 4.0
Solaris PPP 4.0 enables a system in one location to communicate over telephone lines or leased communications media with a system at a remote location. This implementation of Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is based on the widely used Australian National University (ANU) PPP, and is entirely new for the Solaris operating environment. PPP 4.0 is easily configured through a set of files. It supports both asynchronous and synchronous communications and offers Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) authentication. Because Solaris PPP 4.0 is highly configurable, customers can easily tailor PPP to fit their remote communications needs.
The Solaris 8 10/01 release includes the PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) addition to Solaris PPP 4.0. PPPoE enables the user to "tunnel" a PPP session over an Ethernet, thus providing a virtual private network. Networks with PPPoE in place can support multiple users who are connecting to a provider over a single DSL device.
For further information on PPP, see the pppd(1m), chat(1m), and pppstats(1m) man pages.
For further information on PPPoE, see the pppoed(1m), pppoec(1m), sppptun(1m), and snoop(1m) man pages.
Further information is also provided in the System Administration Guide: Resource Management and Network Services in the Solaris 9 System Administration Collection. For instructions on how to access Solaris 9 documentation, see Early Access in this document.
For information on licensing terms, refer to the incorporated material at the following locations:
Updated 10/01
Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator (NCA)
The Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator (NCA) has been improved with the addition of a sockets interface to NCA through which any web server can communicate with NCA with minimal modifications. Web servers such as Apache, iPlanetTM Web Server, and Zeus are able to make use of NCA performance by using standard socket library functions.
For more information about NCA, see "Solaris Network Cache and Accelerator (NCA)" in the System Administration Guide, Volume 3.
Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND)
Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) version 8.2.2 new functionality includes:
Further information is provided in "Administering DNS (Tasks)" in the System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services in the Solaris 9 System Administrator Collection. For instructions on how to access Solaris 9 documentation, see Early Access in this document.
Enhancements to sendmail
Enhancements to sendmail version 8.10 include new command-line options, new and revised configuration file options, new defined macros, new and revised m4 configuration macros, new and modified compile flags, new delivery agent flags, new equates for delivery agents, new queue features, new uses for LDAP, new rule set features, new file locations, and a new built-in mailer feature.
For more information, see "Mail Services" in the Solaris 8 System Administration Supplement. "Mail Services" also describes changes to mail.local, changes to mailstats, and changes to makemap.
Updated 7/01
IP Network Multipathing
IP network multipathing provides your system with recovery from single-point failures with network adapters and increased traffic throughput. In the 10/00 release, if a failure occurs in the network adapter, and if you have an alternate adapter connected to the same IP link, the system switches all the network accesses automatically from the failed adapter to the alternate adapter. This process ensures uninterrupted access to the network. Also, when you have multiple network adapters connected to the same IP link, you achieve increased traffic throughput by spreading the traffic across multiple network adapters.
In the 4/01 release, dynamic reconfiguration (DR) uses IP network multipathing to decommission a specific network device, with no impact on existing IP users.
The 7/01 release introduces the new IPMP Reboot Safe feature. When a failed NIC is removed from the system by using dynamic reconfiguration, and a reboot occurs prior to reinsertion of a functioning NIC, the system attempts, but fails, to plumb an interface for the missing NIC. Rather than losing the IP address, the IPMP Reboot Safe feature transfers the IP address to another NIC in the IPMP interface group.
For more information, see the IP Network Multipathing Administration Guide.
Updated 4/01 and 7/01
Mobile Internet Protocol (IP)
Mobile Internet Protocol (IP) enables the transfer of information to and from mobile computers, such as laptop and wireless communications. In the 6/00 release, the mobile computer can change its location to a foreign network and still access and communicate with and through the mobile computer's home network. The Solaris implementation of Mobile IP supports only IPv4.
In the 4/01 release, Mobile IP enables system administrators to set up reverse tunnels. By setting up a reverse tunnel from the mobile node's care-of address to the home agent, you ensure a topologically correct source address for the IP data packet. By using reverse tunnels, system administrators can also assign private addresses to mobile nodes.
For more information, see the Mobile IP Administration Guide.
Updated 4/01
SPARC: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is now supported in the iPlanet Web Server directory server. To set up the iPlanet directory server to support Solaris clients, see the LDAP Setup and Configuration Guide.

Regional Reviews: San Francisco
The Death of the Novel at San Jose Repertory Theatre
The playwright is the vice chairman of the California Committee South Human Rights Watch and the play seems like a work in progress. Feldman, also a film writer, tries to cram too much into this two hour and thirty minute drama. There is just too much to grasp, including scenes that are in the mind of the protagonist. The characters in the play are really not believable, but that is no fault of the actors who rise about the script.
When Sebastian was a teenager, he witnessed the fall of the World Trade Center from his bedroom window and then wrote a bestselling novel called "The Seventh Day" about what he witnessed. He tells his friends, "I just figured out what was the book everyone wanted to see from a boy who saw the towers fall, and I wrote it." After the book becomes a financial success, he becomes a recluse. In fact, he has not set foot out of his beautiful apartment for two years. He spends his days watching television, playing video games, and having sex with a call girl. This guy even stalks people online just to get his kicks. He is one fucked up individual.
Sebastian has one friend, Philip (Patrick Kelly Jones), who visits. Also, a therapist sent by his book publisher, Dr. Perry Cray (Amy Pietz), comes by weekly in an attempt to break his "writer's block." She does not help much and even her questions seem phony. Sebastian is quite the chatterbox and talks nonstop in the first act about global warming and yuppie emblems like Starbucks and Facebook. Finally, a Saudi woman Sheba (Vaishnavi Sharma) enters his life, but the question for the audience to ponder is: Is this woman a fake or a real Saudi princess?
The second act is better written and there is chemistry between Sebastian and Sheba. It seems like two different plays, since there is a tormenting strangeness in the first act and now we see an emotional overload between the two characters that feels false. Some scenes are a fantasy trip in Sebastian's mind.
Vincent Kartheiser, who plays unctuous adman Peter Campbell on television's "Mad Men," works his craft, but, at least at the performance I attended, it takes him a while to morph into an eccentric, intellectual wit. However, he gives an engaging performance in the second act. Vaishnavi Sharma is charismatic as the sensual Sheba. There is wonderful chemistry between the two.
Patrick Jones is cheerfully passionate in the role of Philip. Amy Pietz gives an intelligent first rate performance as the shrink Perry, while Zarah Mahler is appealing as the hooker and wannabe writer Clair. The costumes by Denitsa Bliznakova, especially the delicious outfit worn by Vaishnavi Sharma, are stylish. John Iacovelli's set of an upscale Manhattan apartment is a standout, including a balcony and realistic buildings in the distance.
Director Rick Lombardo does capture the frenzy of the new love of Sebastian in some brilliantly film-like montages, and in the second act the writing is undeniably sharp and smart.
The Death of the Novel plays through September 22 at the San Jose Repertory Theatre, 101 Paseo de San Antonio, San Jose. For tickets call 408-367-7255 or on line at www.sjrep.com. Coming up next at San Jose Rep is Mark St. Germain's Freud's Last Session opening on October 11 and running through November 4th.

Rock Chalk Jayhawks! KU!!!
Join Date: Aug 2005
Casino cash: $51280
This doesnt surprise me... Consider KSUck fans post in here...
1) We are still in first. Yes we are tied, but still in first.
2) It was obvious Gipson was targeted to get limited minutes by the bias refs on the most ridiculous manufactured fouls I've ever seen. Just like I talked about before the game. How in the world do you think Bill was going to get his points in the paint? Keep the Big Gip on the bench. That 5th foul was more of a foul on Withey, but hey the refs had to stick to the script.
3) KU shoots out of their arse. Go figure. They royally suck their last 3 games, but of course this game was a make or break of their season.
4) We missed a lot of shots, including FT's. You can't do that if you expect to win this game. Even when our players were fouled on made baskets at the rim the refs blew off calling any foul. I saw that happen at least twice.
5) JO is STILL all thumbs & can't handle a pass. He has no business putting the ball on the floor to dribble, guaranteed TO. Withey ran circles around him.
6) As discussed earlier our bigs have to protect the basket, or expect lots of pud layups & slam dunks.
7) Our protection of the KU transition game sucked. Another thing I discussed before pre-game.
8) Our defense has bad tonight. Anytime we'd get a TO on KU we'd simply turn it right back over trying to get our own transition basket. Too much panic & it wasn't necessary & it limited our opportunities to put up more points.
8) KU kept all their starters in the entire game with the objective of the birthday boy getting his 30 points, so Brett Mushmouth could tell us for the 10th time that's what the Jayhawks wanted to do. KU would have beat us by 10-20 more points if Bill had his way. Under these conditions I'm not surprised of the outcome, but I thought it would have been closer if Gip could have played more.
9) Our kids didn't give up, so I admire the effort.
10) We'll be fine. Up next, Baylor & West Virginia on our turf. KU will slip up on the road somewhere, so we still control our own destiny & still can at least share the conference, or even win it.

A reader writes:
In the spirit of imitation being the sincerest form of flattery, I'd like to submit the following for your SSHS series, borrowing your Flintstones theme! Submitted from Pebbles' perspective:
Pebbles and Bam-Bam meet in the most innocent of ways… at the dinosaur park. Over the course of a few months, they seem to fit right in to the casual gatherings, meeting lots of new and nice people (and their dinosaurs)!
As time goes on, they get more and more casually friendly. It's nice. About a month ago Bam-Bam started getting flirty with Pebbles, and she then saw him in a different light – and liked it! At one point, Bam-Bam gets flirty enough to give Pebbles a kiss goodbye one evening (albeit, just a "William & Kate kiss") right there in front of all the cave folks and the dinosaurs. Once again… *LIKE*.
Well… it just so happens that Pebbles recently read that most boys actually like it when the girl initiates the next step. Hmmm… she's kind of reserved about that kind of thing, but figures, "What the heck… this isn't really the stone age anymore!" Pebbles suggests that maybe Bam-Bam would like to come to her house one evening after park time, and he thinks that's a great idea. They make plans for one evening later in the week.
On the appointed day, while at the usual park, all of a sudden Bam-Bam actually tells her they'll have to postpone because he's going to play poker that night instead! What?? What just happened?? Did he get cold feet? Or was it all just a caveman game from the beginning?
Pebbles hasn't been back to the dinosaur park since because she's now REALLY uncomfortable! What happened, and what should she do now? She does realize that he said "postpone" and not "cancel," but still…
She said: Maybe Bamm-Bamm got a little freaked out. Maybe after he thought more about it, he felt going from a peck on the lips to your house was too fast, and would have preferred grabbing a bite to eat at Bronto Burger instead. If that were the case, he should have suggested that. But, I'm more concerned with how he handled cancelling your plans.
He had to have known that you invited him over because of the kiss he laid on you (in front of other people, no less) and yet, he still backed out last minute without offering solid plans to reschedule. Rude.
I'd move on. This early in your friendship/flirtation/potential courtship — if Bamm-Bamm thinks he can plant his lips on you, then drop your plans last minute when something better (in his eyes) comes along — his inconsiderate behavior would only get worse with time.
I also think you should go back to the dinosaur park and strut your stuff, but keep it light and friendly with Bamm-Bamm. Besides, I'm sure him and his club will be very happy together.
He said: It certainly is frustrating when someone goes off the grid on you. Now before anyone I may have snubbed starts churning out "Joe is a hypocrite" comments, I am here to acknowledge that I have done it. Chances are good most of the readers have done it. In fact it was just done to me this week with a not so subtle Facebook defriend. I've done that too.
I have no idea why Bam-Bam flaked out on you. Maybe he had a date with another woman, maybe he just wanted to play cards, or maybe he's just not that into you. So he checked out. My question to you is, what else is simmering on the stove?
If it's Bam-Bam you want, go back to the park, give him the requisite grief appropriate for your situation and see if he asks for a second chance. By asking again, you paint yourself in a desperate light, something you may have read in the same periodical that rightly suggested boys like it when girls take initiative. Otherwise it could be time to pursue a new Bam-Bam.
Isn't dating a numbers game? You did nothing wrong here, but you proved to yourself that you can take the leap from friendly banter to proffering a date with someone you're interested in. So do it again. Put yourself in a position to meet other Bam-Bams. It's up to you as to what you do with this guy, but by putting other pots on the stove so to speak, it gives you the upper hand to be selective. I said selective, not a slut.
Everything we do in life is about creating options for ourselves. We work hard in school to create more employment options upon graduation, we grind 9 to 5 in our jobs to create more career opportunities, and we make ourselves available to meet someone who one day could become something more than a friend. Waiting for stuff to happen is a great way to get nowhere. It makes us desperate the first time something good comes along. Take control of your dating game by meeting more people. It doesn't make you a tramp; it makes you a take charge girl. When we know girls have options, you'd be surprised how quickly a guy forgets how to play poker.
Joe on Facebook and Twitter.

I am afraid this view is too optimistic. I have never seen anything from any of these (funding) councils commenting of their (ir)relevance to this case, despite that some materials press did suggest this the such links more than a figment of imagimnation. In a way, I understand them (funding councils): ANY comment from them (even "strong denoumciation" of any link) will only put more fuel in the matter. "It's not me" has a poor record even in kindergaten. That's why an underlying common desire that this case be forgotten and Fabrikant been indeed seen as a mad lunatic. Perhaps, some will find similarities with J.F.Kennedy case when (eventually) Lee Oswald was presented as a sole random criminal, and we probaly never know for sure was it a plot or not. But to a great credit of Harry Arthur, he (and his co-auothors) did not downplay the matter as it just was settling of some personal accounts. Perhaps, somebody should take the trouble to develop this whole story to a book (no, I am not volonteer). If Fabrikant (rather than O.J.Simpson) was the trial of the century, probably we could get some fringe benefits in healthining the univeristy research ethos.

This type of query is more appropriate to post to a mailing list instead of sending private email. Please do so in the future.

I love hot toddies. They're delicious, and thanks to their occasional use as a remedy for the common cold, I believe they're also good for me. There's only so much you can do with the classic toddy, though: Aside from adjusting honey/water/lemon ratios, or tossing in the odd clove or cinnamon stick, a hot toddy made with whiskey is going to taste pretty much the same no matter where you order it. Or so I thought.
TeaZone, an upscale tea store and café in the Pearl, has recently opened a small "marTEAni" lounge (get it?), which features an assortment of cocktails made with tea. The tiny lounge is tucked behind the café, and stocked with an unusual array of infused liquors and unusual mixers (like Yerba Mate sour and Thai-like tequila).
The first drink I tried was the Yunnan Toddy, a toddy made with Pu-erh tea instead of hot water, giving the drink a bracing earthiness. This would be excellent chilled as well: I could keep a pitcher of it in the fridge and drink it all summer long.
An equally tasty drink, though sweeter, is the abysmally named—oh, god, it makes me cringe just to write the words—"Chitty Chitty Chai Chai." If you can spit the name out (or better yet, just point to the menu), you'll be rewarded for your trouble with a delightful concoction reminiscent of a sugar cookie: milky chai stiffened up with amaretto and Tuaca.
I was less enchanted by the Jade Emperor, which blends Momokawa Sake, green tea liqueur, and powdered Genmaicha (a combination of green tea and brown rice). To my taste, the sweetened green tea and sake made for a cloying, off-balance combination.
The Camellia Lounge is certainly a worthwhile destination for exotic cocktails. Their tea-infused concoctions will make you feel like you're doing your body a favor by drinking, which is the best kind of lie. And while their menu is projected to undergo some changes soon, I hope they keep the Dragon Chips—a huge, gooey plate of kettle chips topped with two kinds of cheese, chicken, and buffalo wing sauce. My heart rate gets sluggish just thinking about them. Most of the other menu items are a little more elegant, though—chewy mussels dressed with a tomato and garlic tapenade and arranged prettily on the plate, or a platter of Greek-inspired finger foods including stuffed olives, white beans, and pita.
Ambiance-wise, the Camellia has an inadvertent kitsch component. My date one night made the very apt comparison to a college girl's dorm room, while I was reminded more of an airport bar: both places in which Christmas lights and "flair" are used to disguise the underlying institutional quality of the space. The tiny bar is a nice place to sit; that way you have a view of liquor bottles instead of the glittery snowflake decorations hanging in the main lounge that I can only hope are seasonal.
If the Camellia Lounge has aesthetic issues, it's not a deal breaker. I'll still keep this place in mind the next time I'm in the 'hood, as a cozy spot to grab an invigorating—nay, a healing hot toddy.

The Mariners placed rookie relief pitcher Shawn Kelley on the 15-day disabled list with a strained oblique muscle in his left side Wednesday and recalled pitcher Garrett Olson from Tacoma.
Olson, a left-hander, will join the team in Kansas City in time for Wednesday night's game as the Mariners kick off an eight-game road swing.
Kelley, 25, threw three pitches in the 10th inning on Tuesday against the Texas Rangers before falling to the ground in pain. He is 1-1 with a 1.54 earned run average in 10 relief appearances with Seattle this season. Nine of his 10 appearances have been scoreless, with both of the runs he's allowed coming on solo homers.
Olson, 25, was 2-2 with a 3.08 in five starts with Tacoma. In 26.1 innings, he's allowed just 12 hits while striking out 19.
Olson was acquired from the Chicago Cubs along with Ronny Cedeno in exchange for pitcher Aaron Heilman in January. He spent most of last season in the Baltimore Orioles rotation, posting a 9-10, 6.65 mark in 26 starts.
Among American League rookies, he ranked fourth in starts, fifth in wins and innings pitched (132.2) and sixth in strikeouts (83).

The Transportation Security Administration's Security Pre-Check program has launched at the Indianapolis International Airport. Anyone leaving Indianapolis on one of a few major airlines is eligible to be screened before they even show up to the airport.
TSA Administrator John Pistole says this will make the screening process better and safer. He says fingerprint data, a background check, and other information is collected by the TSA, but in exchange, if you are approved, you can keep your shoes, and your belt on as you make your way through a less invasive screening before your flight.
"Then we know more about you, so we can make an informed decision ahead of time to say 'okay, this person probably isn't a terrorist,'" he says.
Indianapolis is the 21st airport to get the Pre-Check. By the end of the year the program will be in 35 airports nationwide. The pre-check is only for domestic flights, though Pistole says they are looking for way to bring the Pre-Check to international flights, as well.
For more on the program, read WFIU/WTIU's earlier story published before the system was implemented.

One of the worst things which will make you feel like a complete computer idiot is losing Windows 2000 administrator password. If you've just finished the install, remember check for an innocent mistake when you add a password to your account, check again in case the Caps Lock was on without attention. And write down the password for future use.
If you miss this steps. Unfortunately you have forgotten the admin password. What a poor guy. Hopefully you have another account that is a member of the administrator's group. If you do, just log on that account and change the administrator password.
IF you don't do that trick. Without installing, do in this way. But you may afford to lose any other accounts . See details below.
1. On FAT system, boot the computer with an old DOS or Windows 9x boot disk, delet the %systemroot%\System32\Config\SAM file.
2. On NTFS system, you can use Recovery console to access and delete the file.But you need to have configured the Recovery Console for automatic administrative logon through the local security policy or inherited domain security policy.
Another way for you is backing up the system. Reinstall windows 2000 and then restore the system. But if you do in the wrong way, you may lost your data.
The best for resetting windows 2000 admin password when forgot it is using Windows Password Key, this tool can reset the password to blank without knowing it. Work in any windows system with admin or user password. Deleting Sam file or back up the system may suddenly lose your accounts or data. Then this may the best choice. Just burn the ISO image to USB or a blank CD/DVD, a few minutes later, you will log in your computer soon.

The 2016 Olympics are all set to kick off in the first week of August, but Rio de Janeiro is under constant fire for one reason or another amid worries about the games.
Although athletes from a number of countries have already arrived in the city and are preparing for the 2016 Games in full swing, Australia's team refused to move into the Olympic village since they deemed it unsafe and uninhabitable.
New images that emerged from the village showed water leaking down walls, exposed wires hanging from the ceiling and broken tiles and plaster left on the bathroom floor as work in the apartments still remained incomplete.
Apparently, there are several plumbing issues that need to be sorted out, and although contractors are continuously working to get the job done, this comes rather late in the day. Authorities should have ensured that these basic facilities in the athletes' apartments and rooms were already taken care of before they actually reached Brazil.
For now, the Australian team has moved into nearby hotels, and is patiently waiting until their accommodation are fixed, so that they can live in safe conditions.
Interestingly, the Rio 2016 communications director, Mario Andrada is "disappointed" that the athletes have not found the accommodation to their liking.
"We are not ashamed of what has happened, but we are sad that not all the athletes have found (the accommodation) to their liking," he said.
It is about time that Rio ups its game and takes control of the situation, since security, health and other concerns like the economic conditions in the country have led to significantly low ticket sales. If these issues are not dealt with right now, the Olympics could turn into a major flop (if it hasn't already.)

I first had bacon noodles the summer of 2002. It was the only meal that Karl knew how to cook, so he would often make this recipe for me that summer. The recipe originates from Karl's grandparents, and it is one of our favorites.
Start by chopping the bacon and season with pepper.
|1 package
|Sodium Free Bacon
|a few pinches
|ground pepper
Once the bacon is cooked, remove the bacon bits and remove the fat from the pan (leave the little brown bits in the bottom of the pan).
While the bacon is cooking, boil some water for the noodles and cook them according to the directions.
|1 bag
|whole wheat noodles
In the same pan that we cooked the bacon, add the butter.
|1 Tablespoon
|unsalted butter
Add back the cooked noodles and bacon. Salt and pepper to taste.
Cook for about 10 minutes, flip about every 2 minutes. This step is very important because it gives the noodle the signature texture. Also never attempt this step in a non-non-stick pan. The ideal Bacon Noodles have varying textures on the noodles; some crunchy, some soft.

Best Harry Potter Wands For Sale
Get Exclusive Access to Our Harry Potter Trivia Page
Harry Potter wands are the most popular way to use magic. Each varies from about eight inches to sixteen. At the core of every wand resides a fragment of some magical creature. While getting a wand is easy, finding the right one isn't for a specific person. As Mr. Ollivander has said many times, "The wand chooses the wizard." If none of the replicas from the books and movies meet your needs, you can learn how to make your own custom wands.
Where to Find Harry Potter Wands
Almost all wands in the harry potter series are obtained at Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley. Those that aren't are found at Gregorovitch's wandshop or made at an unknown location that is sold to other schools. Each store sells wands of different makes and following different principles, which is why there is some competition between makers.
Wand Wood
The wood of all Harry Potter wands matter. For a full list of the woods and how they affect a wand, click here. The varieties of wood range greatly depending on the wandmaker and person.
Wand Cores
Harry Potter wands are most greatly influences by the core. The most common kinds are the three following: Phoenix feather (trustworthy and great at preforming more complex spells), Dragon heartstring (power-hungry, or as close as you can be as a wand. The Dragon Heartstring isn't too loyal, but is powerful and is most commonly found in the hands of aurors and Death Eaters alike), and Unicorn hair (most commonly taken from the tail is the most loyal wand that can preform spells of goodness). For a full list of all the wand cores and their abilities, click here.
Voldemort's wand and Harry Potter's wand both have a core of Phoenix feather. That Phoenix gave only the two feathers that reside in each of their wands. That Phoenix, named Fawkes, was Dumbledore's. Unfortunately, Hermione casts as spell against Nagini that rebounds and breaks Harry's wand. He uses stolen Death Eaters wand (lent to him by Ron) until he takes Draco's wand. Ollivander confirms that the Dragon Heartstring make has passed its ownership to Harry, who claims it as his own. The event that gave Harry his ownership also gave him control over the Elder Wand, but that isn't revealed until later.
Dumbledore's Elder Wand
Speaking of Dumbledore, he owned the elder wand. It is the most powerful wand in existence and was created by Death itself. The wand originally was given as a gift to Ignotus Perverell in the children's tale The Tale of the Three brothers. Beyond that, its path through history is choppy. Popping up occasionally by the Deathstick, or other violent names, its past is bloody. The wand is first obtained by Dumbledore when he defeated Grindelwald in their famous duel and claimed the wand. When Dumbledore let himself perish by the hand of Snape, he gained power of the wand. Because of this, Voldemort killed him so he could control the wand. This didn't work because Draco Malfoy had disarmed Dumbledore previously, giving him right over the wand. When Harry literally grabbed Draco's own wand from his hand in Malfoy Manor, Harry gets power over the wand.
With Your New Collection of Harry Potter Wands, Wouldn't a Stand Be Nice?
To compliment your fine wands,
a nice stand would be perfect,
to show them off to the world!

Tomorrow we leave Mongolia. That leaves less a month and four more countries before we finally head back to the States. It's been a long road home and has made me all the more ready to get there. But I have learned a lot along the way.
Observations from the last two months:
- Travel more slowly
We decided to do a whirlwind tour of eleven countries in 14 weeks, knowing full well that it's likely the only time this will happen. Now, eleven weeks in I can say it is too fast for us.
- Good planning can prevent a lot of heartache
I'm a planner. I can't just "wing it," hopping around the world and hoping things work out. But I did a lot of research before we left and it has helped prevent a lot of heartache. When we couldn't get on the train from Agra, we took a bus instead. I know how much a cab fare to the airport costs, so when a taxi driver takes us on a joy ride, I can call him out on it.
- Humans really are amazing
We have met some incredible people over the course of this trip. People who have welcomed us into our homes or made sure we were taken care of. We've also seen incredible and terrible things of which humans are capable, but also the resiliency that people have. We are pretty incredible.
- The world has changed
A lot has changed since I went to Ethiopia thirty months ago. I'm constantly surprised by cell phones mostly, but also the internet. I'm not entirely sure if it's just that the world has changed, or if it's that I'm finally noticing things I hadn't before.
- The value of money
When you live on a very limited budget for 27 months, it can be hard to spend money again. This trip has been in good in that it's slowly eased me into the idea that everything costs money. Potatoes are never going to cost 25 cents a kilo (2.2 lbs) again, hotels will never be $10 for a private room with hot shower and free wifi and don't get me started on clothes. That everything seems expensive now just something I have to accept. It's definitely a process throughout this trip ("That's $15!! For one entree!") and I am sure it will continue to be a process over the coming months.
- Travel is good for relationships
Ryan and I have learned so much more about each other after two months on the road than we might have at home. Full-time travel is different from both our life in Ethiopia and will be different from our life in the States. It's made me more excited than ever to share my life with him!

Rural areas to reach out to neighbours abroad
Macra na Feirme's Know Your Neighbour weekend will focus this year on those who have emigrated
Kieran O'Dowd, Macra na Feirme national president
Ireland has had a long tradition of exporting its young people to other countries. Most of the time this has been due to economic necessity and the dream of making a fresh start in a new land where talent and hard work would be rewarded.
In the very early part of this decade we, as a nation, saw that people from across the globe were coming to Ireland to work. We were experiencing unprecedented prosperity and economic growth. Many parts of Ireland, particularly rural communities, didn't see income levels rise to any great extent during this period, but they did see significant development of recreational and social infrastructure, as well as the road network, which undoubtedly had a profound effect on the lives of the people living there.
I returned to live in Gurteen, a small rural south Sligo village, from Dublin in 2003 to find it undergoing massive change. The pubs and shops were busy with people working locally in the construction industry. People who had left in the 1980s and 1990s had returned home married with children. We also had a thriving immigrant community, who had settled in well and become part of the community.
Our local soccer team, Gurteen Celtic, was able to boast enough numbers to start a second team and take part in the Sligo and Leitirm District Soccer League. Things were good and the village was buzzing. We had two pubs doing food and a new hotel was built and opened in 2004. It made me feel all the more content to return to my local community and settle down there.
Some people still emigrated, but by choice. They knew they could walk into a job on a reasonably good salary when they returned, so they could travel and explore the world without any worries about afterwards.
Around this time I got involved in my local Macra na Feirme club, Ballymote Macra, which itself was a casualty of the good times in that its members were moving to Dublin and other urban centres for work. The ones who remained didn't have much time to get involved in Macra activities.
I since joined another club, South Sligo Macra. Over the last few years, this club has seen members emigrate to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United States and of course our near neighbour Britain. Many went to work on farms in their adopted countries, leaving fewer young farmers living in the local community who will take on the farm at home and contribute to the local economy.
An extensive survey of emigration by University College Cork last year found rural areas were disproportionately affected, with one in four households losing a member to emigration. This compares to less than 11 per cent of househods in commuter belt areas.
Farmers are, and always have been, the bedrock of our nation. The agri food sector – from production to processing to the use of innovative and new technologies in all links of the production chain – has provided significant employment both directly and indirectly, and this has helped maintain economic activity in rural areas. Ireland cannot develop further as a nation and truly recover from the horrendous economic nightmare it has experienced in recent years without the Government realising there is a lot of work to be done to help and promote the rural economy.
It is great to see our capital city developing and experiencing resurgence, but this cannot be at the expense of the rest of Ireland. If the cost of living continuously rises in Dublin then it will become expensive and uncompetitive in the longer term to do business there and things may regress again. The Government has spoken about a spatial strategy looking after the rest of Ireland, but this needs to be done as a priority, as decisions taken today may haunt us for many years to come and we don't want to look back and think what might have been.
The impact of emigration on Macra clubs has been very visible – entire groups of officers including chairpersons, secretaries, PROs and treasurers have left, leaving a significant knowledge gap and impacting negatively on progress. This impact is replicated within local communities where innovation and new business initiatives are stunted when young people with drive and ambition leave. Opportunities must be available to young people to stay in their own communities if they want to. The Government must prioritise training and education for young people and provide supports for local business development and growth.
Macra's annual Know Your Neighbour Weekend aims to bring communities together to build relationships and have some fun. This year it takes place on July 12th and 13th and the theme is "Neighbours – Near and Far" in recognition of our many neighbours living abroad. Groups and individuals across Ireland will come together and hold events with their neighbours – from a coffee morning to a family fun day in the park – and we are asking them to try and include their neighbours living abroad.
With technology, these neighbours are nearer than ever – why not Skype your neighbours at the event and give everyone a chance to say hello? Another option would be to send them a postcard signed by all their neighbours so they know they're still part of the gang at home.
I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to organise a Know Your Neighbour Weekend event or go along to one locally, and get to know your neighbours near and far.

After dramatic week, markets looking up
Political news has sent everyone into a tizzy, but markets are expected to rally after Infosys results this week
The markets were weak in the initial part, and the mid-week holiday changed sentiments and market movement. Though on Friday the markets closed neutral the Sensex ended with net gains of 188.68 points or 0.96 per cent at 19,915.95 points. The Nifty gained 74.10 points or 1.27 per cent to close at 5,907.30 points. The broader indices like the BSE100, BSE200 and BSE500 gained similar at 1.28 per cent, 1.27 per cent and 1.30 per cent respectively. BSEMIDCAP gained 1.94 per cent while BSESMALLCAP gained 1.25 per cent. The top gainer amongst sectoral indices was BSEREALTY up 4.24 per cent. Other gainers included BSEBANKEX up 2.90 per cent and BSEAUTO up 2.73 per cent. The losers were led by BSEFMCG down 1.83 per cent and BSEPOWER down 1.1 per cent.
In individual stocks the biggest gainer was RANBAXY up 7.95 per cent. Others included LIC Housing Finance up 7.26 per cent and Bajaj Auto up 6.37 per cent. The last IPO to hit the market, Just Dial hit a 20 per cent upper circuit on Friday and gained a staggering 21.78 per cent for the week. The IPO price was R 530 and the share has almost doubled at Rs 1027.50. The losers were led by Wockhardt Pharma which was down 18.53. Other losers included ONGC and NTPC which were down an identical 3.52 per cent and ITC down 2.52 per cent.
We had plenty of political news during the week. First was the ordinance on tainted MPs and MLAs being permitted to occupy their office saw Rahul Gandhi make a planned attack on the cabinet decision of recommending it and then the cabinet withdrawing it. Former Bihar Chief Minister and leader of the RJD, Lalu Yadav was indicted in the fodder scam and sent to jail. In the process he became the first MP to be unseated under the new law. The Supreme Court advised that voters be given a "NOTA" or "none of the above" choice in the coming state elections. The Election Commission has notified elections in five states which will go to polls between November 11 and December 4. The model code of conduct has been enforced which means there will be no policy decision which could be seen as influencing the voter between now and December 4. The Union cabinet has announced its decision to split the state of Andhra Pradesh into Telangana and Seemandhra. The state is under turmoil and there will be plenty of drama in the state from all political parties.
The HSBC PMI index for services sector fell from 47.6 to 44.6 indicating a slowdown even in the services sector. This is the lowest value since April 2009 indicating and confirming the general weakness in the economy. CAD or current account figures for the first quarter without the gold import were better than expected but one is not sure what would happen in the second and subsequent quarters. The government is planning to cut expenditure but when that would actually happen is unknown. Petrol prices were cut by over Rs 3 per litre but the anticipated large diesel price hike did not happen and will seems unlikely in the near future either.
The US stalemate continues currently but should certainly get resolved before the country slips into default if the issue is not resolved by October 17. Global markets have not been impacted much but there is wide debate that withdrawal of bond buying by the Fed may begin with the resolution of this dispute. Dow Jones lost 1.21 per cent for the week to close at 15,072 points.
FIIs were buyers of equity of Rs 1,100 crore during the week and R 12,633 crore during the month of September while domestic institutions were sellers of Rs 636 crore in the week and Rs 2,800 crore in the month. The rupee was quite stable and less volatile. The rupee gained R 1.06 to close at a seven week high of Rs 61.44.
The week ahead has results from IT major Infosys being declared on Friday. With Narayan Murthy back in the saddle, the street expects a stellar set of results. The rupee depreciation should help the company in profits as well. The same day IIP data for the month of August is to be declared.
The week ahead would be choppy and would be dominated by news from within the country and the stand taken by FIIs. There has been hardly any impact of the US issue on global markets and to expect a big impact on resolution would be out of place.
