Anticipated hit Bollywood movies in 2012
We are already in October of 2011. 2012 is fast approaching and a lot of Bollywood fans might be wondering about what lies ahead as far as hit Bollywood movies in 2012 are concerned. We can sense the scenarios and possibilities looking at the titles, actors, directors and plots of the films.
Looking at the line up for 2012 so far, I can say that the year 2012 looks brighter and more promising for the Hindi film industry or Bollywood. Why? It is because of a number of reasons:
The number of successful sequels that are scheduled to be released in 2012; actually 9 of them so far. Interesting isn't it? These include Krrish 2, Housefull 2, Hya Kool Hai Hum 2, Jannat 2, Once Upon a Time in Mumbai 2, Raaz 3, Race 2, Dhoom 3, Partner 2 and Dostana 2.
Actors invloved in some of the scheduled films include superstars like Shah Shahrukh Khan, Amir Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Rosha, Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar. Actresses involved include established super stars such as Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor, Karishma Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukherji and rising Bollywood beauties such as Genilia D'Souza, Asin, Sonakshi Sinha and teen sensation Anushka Sharma. The Sri Lanka beauty queen Jacqueline Fernandez who debuted in Aladin (2010) and won Internatiojal Indian FIlm Academy Award and Stardust Award for Best Female Debut in 2010 will be acting alongside Emraan Hashmi in Raaz 3. That could be be a quite blood-rushing romance.
Some of the films are directed by leading directors such as Yash Chopra (Number 1), Karan Johar (Student of The Year), Vikram Bhatt (Raaz 3 and dangerous Ishq), Abbas-Mustan (Race 2) and Anurag Basu (Barfee).
Therefore, the following films are my anticipated hit Bolywood films in 2012. There could be more films added to the list as films are added to the Bollywood Movie Calendar 2012 with announcement of new movie release dates.
1) Jab Tak Hai Jaan
This film is directed by the legendary Bollywood film director Yash Chopra. This is the first film he directs after 8 years.

Two Khans to Work Together
Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan to work together? – Latest Bollywood News. Shahrukh khan and Salman Khan who are famous for their infamous animosity and fight were never expected to share screen together again. But apparently, the buzz is that both the Khans will be working together in a movie. Have a full inside scoop from the video.
Shah Rukh Khan unveils first Theatrical Trailer of Ra.One
There have been a lot of buzz around the upcoming Bollywood film of the superstar Shah Rukh Khan Ra.One. A lot of people are already following up every thing happening related to this film, which is scheduled to be released on 26 October, 2011. Recently, Shahrukh himself unveiled the theatrical tailor of the film his upcoming film Ra.One.
Anticipated Hit Bollywood Films in 2011
This year so far I haven't seen a Bollywood film that can be regarded as a hit film yet. I may be wrong, but I think that is the general feel among many people. No film so far this year has created the kind of vibe that we can associate with hit films. Signs like many people talking about it and going to cinemas just for the film, leaving everything behind. A film, no matter what that they want to watch. That's what I call a really hit film or a blockbuster, because such films usually profit a lot at cinemas as well. However, Akshay Kumar's 'Thank you' was good film. Thank You is about three married men trying to have some fun outside their marriage. Akshay Kumar plays a detective who specializes in extra-marital relationships. Some scenes in this film were shot in Vancouver and Toronto, Canada and Bangkok. Other Bollywood films which have focused around a similar concept are Masti, No Entry, Shaadi No.1 and to a certain extent, Do knot Disturb. Another film starred by Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta and Vinay pathak released on April 29, 2011 was also a good film.
Promo of the film Thank You
The song 'Pyaar Do Pyaar Lo' from the film Thank you
For the reasons mentioned above, I am embarking in a mission to find out whether there are any upcoming Bollywood films that have the potential to be really hit films. The good news is yes there are few films that I can think will really rock the cinemas as well as of course, people's sitting rooms. I know you want to know this.
Well, I think the upcoming Shah Rukh Khan film 'Ra.One' will make a big splash and will rule the box office. Hindi science- fiction superhero film 'Ra.One' is produced by Shah Rukh Khan's production company 'Red Chilies Entertainment'. The leading stars are Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal. "Ra.One" means "Random Access – Version 1.0". The film was scheduled to be released on 3 June 2011, but was later pushed back due to extensive post production work. The film is set for release on October 26, 2011.

Another Shah Rukh Khan film that is in pipeline to be released this year is action thriller film "DOn 2: The Chase Continues', produced and directed by Farhan Akhtar. It is the sequel to the 2006 film, Don: The Chase Continues, which itself is a remake of the 1978 film Don. The film stars Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani and Om Puri, reprising their roles from the previous film, with Lara Dutta and Kunal Kapoor playing new characters.
Don 2: The Chase Continues
Shooting for Don 2 began from October 10, 2010 in Berlin, Germany. Also, Shahrukh Khan was asked to bulk up for the movie and to develop a six-pack.[2] As of December 2010, shooting has ended in Berlin, Germany and actors have returned back to India. As of February 2011, the actors had been flown to Malaysia for the second phase of the shoot whichlasted for a month. Filming in Malaysia ended on March 22nd, 2011. The film is set to be released on December 23, 2011.
As of Aamir khan, his upcoming film 'Zakhmi' unfortunately will not be released in 2011, but will be released in The film is directed by Reema Kagti and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar and Aamir Khan himself. It will star Aamir Khan, Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor, which is a police film, as seen in the picture. Why I mention this film here is that it was originally intended to be released late this year, but to avoid a clash with Shah Rukh Khan's 'Don2: The Chase Continues', the releasing is postponed for 2012. For many days, it was untitled and only recently they revealed the title 'Zakhmi'.Expect Aamir in 'Doom 3' with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra as well.
Another interesting film to be released a comedy film 'Double Dhamaal'. It is the sequel to the 2007 film, Dhamaal. The film stars most of the actors from the previous film (Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Dutt, Jaaved Jaaferi, Aashish Chaudhary). New additions to the cast include Malika Sherawat and Kangana Ranaut as in the prequel did not star any actress.
Official Trailer of Double Dhamaal
The song "Jalebi Bai" – Double Dhamaal
Look out for upcoming three films starred by Salman Khan as well: 'Ready', 'Body Guard' and 'Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai'. 'Ready' will be released soon on June 23, 2011. "Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai' is going to be released on July 1, 2011.'Body Guard' is scheduled to be released on August 31, 2011.

'Character Dheela' Ready Ft. Salman Khan – Ready

"Teri Meri" – Bodyguard
The upcoming two films of Saif Ali Khan also could be hit films. 'Arakashan' starring Amitab Bachcan, Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone is a high voltage drama based on one of the most controversial policies of caste based reservations in government jobs and educational institutions.
First Look – Arakashan
'Agent Vinod' is starred by Saif Ali Khan and his girl friend Kareena Kapoor is an action-thriller film starring. The film is a not a remake of the 1977 action film Agent Vinod. Agent Vinod is expected to be released on December 9, 2011

As the midpoint of the semester approaches, you may begin to hear this question from your students: "What's my grade so far?" Typically, their reason for asking this question is to determine how well they need to perform on the midterm exam or project to better their chances for a successful end to the course. Once you provide them with this midterm assessment, a follow-up question is usually posed: "So what can I do to bring up my grade?" A simple extra-credit assignment is usually what they're hoping to receive. However, you know the solution isn't that simple. Likely, a complete shift in learning behaviors and attitude is in order. Such a mid-semester adjustment can greatly benefit these students.
But what about turning this evaluative question on yourself? Have you ever asked your students how you're doing? Let's venture into this uncertain territory. . .
In the same way that we may pause a lecture or discussion to gauge our students' understanding of the material, we should "pause" our courses to gauge the effectiveness of our teaching and evaluation methods. A very simple yet very effective tool for this is the Start-Stop-Keep Doing survey. This survey will allow you to see what students are responding to (or not) and what they would like for you to do (or stop doing) to enhance their experience and learning in your courses. Not only does this survey help you see what adjustments you may need to make, but it also serves as encouragement in the form of "Keep Doing" praise. Another benefit of this survey is that it communicates to your students that you care about what they think and about the learning experiences you provide to them. Moreover, when you take a little class time to discuss the common responses and suggestions and to brainstorm solutions, you show your students that you sincerely value their input. When students recognize this, they will, overall, become more engaged in your courses and respond more positively to your teaching and expectations.
I'd love to hear your experiences with this survey, especially what you plan to change in response to your students' feedback. Please share your experiences in the comments section or on twitter @MelissaHudler (please use #startstopkeep).
Happy teaching!

These past few weeks have seen a flurry of workers transform my boring, bark-filled backyard from this:
to this:
WOO HOO! Which means that now, with a new flagstone patio AND a lovely lawn, Katie and I can actually walk out into the yard....and we're BOTH extremely pleased about that! As you can see, Katie is already relaxed and ready to play ball in her new space:

As my husband and I are looking for a new car, we wanted to make sure that it would support our growing family in the future. While doing research, we wanted to be sure to look at things like ease of car seat installation and accessibility for kids. These days small children seem to go through about three different car seats. You may want to make sure that your car is baby/child friendly…if you're in the market.
Enters Mother Proof, which is a blog that provides awesomely informative car reviews. The reviews are simple and easy to read. It's almost like having a girlfriend give you a review of a car with more detailed info, of course. One of my favorite things to read on the site is the "Car Seat Check" series. These moms actually check to see how many car seats will fit in a car and tell you about the installation. If you are a mom-to-be, new mom or seasoned mom in the market for a car, then this site should be able to give you all the information you need.

From the site:
Librarians have a long and distinguished tradition of services assisting students to find information for research assignments in a variety of courses and in various disciplines. In one sense, these services are interventions for improving access and learning. Interventions, as I use the term, refer specifically to those situations in which librarians directly interact with students who are in the process of information seeking or expect to be in the near future.
There are two basic library services in which the professional librarian is involved in such intervention: reference and bibliographic instruction. Reference is mediation with the student to help in the location and use of sources and information. We might think of mediation as occurring on different levels, from a simple response to a specific question to getting involved in a student's extended search process. Bibliographic instruction is education for learning tools, sources, and concepts of information and strategies for locating and using tools and sources. Bibliographic instruction, also, may be described as occurring on different levels, from general introductory sessions to instruction on identifying and interpreting information to consultation on an evolving problem.
All services of the library are directly related to students' information seeking behavior. Recent studies of the information search process of secondary students and undergraduates reveal a complex, constructive process of learning from a variety of sources (Kuhlthau, 1989). These studies indicate important directions for services in reference and bibliographic instruction.

If a laser cap contains 272 laser diodes and a laser comb contains 12 laser diodes, then how many hand-held laser combs does it take to equal one laser cap? The answer is 22.6! The laser caps with 272 laser diodes are the most powerful hands-free hair growth laser devices that are portable, discreet, cordless and rechargeable. You can sit, work, walk, run or even drive while getting a drug-free and side-effect free laser hair growth treatment.
There is quite a few different laser light therapy devices for hair loss available on the market today. The original HairMax laser comb was the first commercially available home use device. While claims of efficacy were great, the reality is that most patients have reported little hair growth results from the use of laser combs. The reason is compliance and overlapping of the affected area... over stimulation of the hair follicles can lead to hair loss. So the major question you should be asking yourself here is which laser devices for the treatment of hair loss work effectively and which ones do not? Hair Regrowth Australia only offers hair growth laser treatment devices that have been clinically tested and proven to effectively slow down hair loss and promote new hair growth. Our range of laser devices are industry leaders in the marketplace, including:
Capillus Laser Cap
HairMax Laser Cap
Hair2gain Laser Cap
HairMax Laser Band
Theradome Laser Helmet
iRestore Laser Helmet
iGrow Laser Helmet
HairMax Laser Comb
When the HairMax laser combs were first released to the public in 2007, they were the best way to do laser light therapy at home. However, as with all first generation products technology will always improve. Now, however, a laser comb to treat hair loss has become more and more outdated with the entrance of total scalp coverage, hands-free units like the iRestore, iGrow and Theradome laser devices, and now even completely mobile as with the Hair2gain, HairMax and Capillus laser caps. At Hair Regrowth Australia, we have many clients who actually wear their laser cap on their drive to or from work, since you can't really get anywhere in under 20 minutes these days.
In regards to efficacy, you really have to look at the amount of lasers in each unit. The average laser comb typically contains between 7 to 12 laser diodes, the right idea but not ideal for an ongoing hair growth treatment.
Not so with the laser helmets that we offer. The Theradome laser helmet has 80 lasers whilst both the iRestore and iGrow have a combination of 21 lasers and 30 LED's that both operate within the ideal wavelength of 650 - 670 nanometers. They are both hands-free and cover the entire scalp. Although both units are a little more expensive than a hand-held laser comb, it's well worth the money.
The Hair2gain, HairMax and Capillus laser caps are in a league of their own. These clinically proven laser caps are widely regarded by medical professionals as the best laser therapy device on the market for treating hair loss and promoting hair growth. They have 312, 272, 144 and 80 true laser diodes and are completely mobile thanks to the rechargeable battery pack. The best part is not only do they come with an Australian warranty covering any manufacturer's defects or craftsmanship, but they will also give you the best chance of the optimum results with essentially zero risks. The laser caps themselves are the future of all hair growth treatments and are putting an end to the hair loss clinic as we know it today.

go my favorite sports team, score a goal unit!
Okay, that's a lie, I don't love football. I just thought that would make a great opening line for this blog post about football.
The truth is that I grew up a basketball fan. I accompanied my father to University of Evansville basketball games, watched Bobby Knight's Hoosiers win championships, and decorated my room with Reggie Miller posters. I knew nothing about football except that the Superbowl provided an excuse for parties, high budget commercials, and "wardrobe malfunctions." In high school, I was on the dance team and we were obligated to attend all the home football games, but I spent more time socializing than watching what was going on on the field. (Nope, I didn't even notice our star Cornerback prancing around out there!(1)) Football was totally lame, I thought.
Then I started dating Timothy Bernard Felton. I was quickly indoctrinated into the world of touchdowns and quarterbacks. Tim's dad grew up in Johnstown, PA, and got his undergraduate degree from Notre Dame. So Tim inherited his allegiences to the Steelers and the Fighting Irish (Remember Rudy?). I soon realized that if I wanted my relationship with Tim to work, I had to start watching football. You know what? It's not so bad.
This year, I reached a milestone in my repertoire of football experience. I attended my very first Notre Dame game. I was amazed by how much a game can impact an entire University. The campus was crawling with fans, mostly alumni, touring the Cathedral and reminiscing in front of their old dorms. Students took advantage of the crowds and sold burgers and brats out on the lawn. The Notre Dame Marching Band performed its traditional concert on the steps before leading the march into the stadium. I now have a better understanding of why Notre Dame fans are so loyal and avid (and so might say, obnoxious). Walking around before the game, I sensed the tradition and energy that emanated from the South Bend soil. Here is a picture of Tim and me with "Touchdown Jesus."
In college, I took a class on Catholicism in early America. I remember my professor explaining that Notre Dame football was an invaluable symbol of Catholicism at a time when Catholics faced fierce discrimination. Entire parishes and neighborhoods would seriously pray for the players to win because Notre Dame football was more than a game, it was a part of their Catholic identity. Knowing a little about this rich heritage helped me to better appreciate all the traditions involved in game day. Even though Notre Dame lost to Navy, it was a really enjoyable day and I am glad that I went.
However, the following week I got to attend an even more important football game. On Nov. 14th, Tim participated in the Turkey Bowl V, an annual pick-up football game in Bloomington. The Turkey Bowl originated in the Feltons' backyard in Newburgh when the Felton brothers and their friends were home for Thanksgiving. Tim brought this tradition to Bloomington and it has become a Young Life leader tradition, although anyone is invited to play. Tim insists on playing each year, though he inevitably gets injured. This year I strongly suggested that he consider sitting out, but there was no stopping him.
Here is a picture of Tim after this year's game:
In addition to the broken nose, he also messed up something in his left shoulder, and scraped a chunk of flesh from his right elbow.
In conclusion, although I never liked football when I was a kid, I now have a fondness for the sport. While I may never become a superfan, I will always love having an excuse to invite friends over and eat fun sports-themed snacks (2).
That's all for now.

By Shubhangi Natu (Personnel & HR, L&T Power)
The lights and the celebration, the sparkle and the glow
The same old story or a brand new show?
Let's for once leave what the last sunset left,
And make some fresh memories, keeping no place for regret.
You will always be in the middle of that war
Remind yourself, only a few make it that far.
Let's love once again without the fear of rejection
And let emotions express, without any hesitation.
Let the society set its own standards of right
And try to impress upon, their ways with all might.
For a change, let's not crib and bother
Do what you think and feel because that is what matters.

Losing a few pounds the healthy way
A few weeks ago I wrote about my battle with my body image issues. The response was amazing. So many of you could relate and had similar feelings in the run-up to your wedding day. Now I don't advocate crash dieting, or even that there's a need to change your body before your wedding. This post is for people who've decided they want to change their diet and exercise habits to feel more healthy and positive. Please, please make sure you're careful about how you do this. This isn't an exercise in feeling bad about yourself or your current habits – this is something you have to want to do!
I always say be happy with who you are. But if you're set on losing a few pounds, or you don't quite feel like "yourself" after a little weight gain, it's best to shed pounds the healthy way. Meet Renza, the gorgeous lady behind Delicieux Designer Cakes and a trained dietician. So she knows good food and how to use it to your advantage! I hope you enjoy her sound advice and put it to good use!

Losing a few pounds – the healthy way
Lovely Sara from Under the Vintage Veil has inspired me to write this post when I read her The dreaded F Word blog entry. Sure most women can relate to her? Regardless of age, being a bride-to-be or a singleton, we all know that dreaded feeling when you confidently pick your favourite outfit and then have to wrestle to get into it.
I just spent five weeks of blissful laziness in my home country where everybody treats you with food. Loads of food. And don't forget the wine, cocktails and Don Pedro's. Nope, this isn't a sexy Italian man (sorry, ladies) but a dreamy, creamy concoction of ice cream and whiskey. Needless to say I have gained weight. Unless you're fortunate enough to have the world's fastest metabolism, it's what happens when you eat and drink decadently and do too little exercise, unfortunately. The law of nature.
Know your habits
If you have gained a bit of weight what can you do about it? Actually, a lot without too much effort or emotional distress. What I would initially recommend is to keep a food diary for at least one week. Write down what you eat and drink, the amount consumed and the time and place where you munched. Oh, yes, and any physical activities that have burned a bit of energy! I know you are busy but this diary will provide you with a personalised solution to get rid of those extra pounds.
Once you have completed the diary, it's investigation time. Sit down with a friend, partner or husband who cares about you and try to get behind the reasons for your weight gain. Check for the following culprits:
♥ Do you have a balanced diet and good portions? Are you getting the right amount of protein, starch, veg etc? Take a look at Eatwell Plate for proper advice, but here's a rough guide – protein the size of your hand palm, starch the size of your fist and the rest of your plate vegetables or salad.
♥ What types of food are you eating? Do you eat a lot of fast food, convenient meals, fried food, roasted with or in fat or butter, topped with sauces or dressings? Look out for words like creamy, decadent, chocolate, rich, oil, double thick, lush, luxury, deluxe. Are you eating a lot of takeaway or eating out regularly?
♥ Are you drinking well? Regular consumption of alcohol, fruit juice and fizzy drinks can lead to weight gain as these drinks contain empty calories.
♥Where do you normally eat and snack? In front of the computer, TV, on the run, in the train/bus/car? This is called unconscious eating, almost like a sheep grazing without realising it.
♥ What type of snacks do you eat between meals? Crisps, sweets, chocolate bars, cakes, biscuits, dried fruit, cereal bars or large portions of 'healthy' snack items?
♥ Not burning enough calories? How do you spend your day – in front of a computer screen, around a boardroom table, taxi for the kids? Do you burn any energy by walking the dog, cleaning the house, gym, dance, swimming, climbing stairs?
Make small changes
♥ If the size of your meals is an issue, have slightly smaller portions. I try use a small bowl for cereal or yogurt in the morning and a fish plate for my main meals.
♥ Be consistent in your eating habits. Try to have three medium to small meals and three snacks, if possible. It will keep your blood sugar constant and could prevent cravings, tiredness, headaches and feeling irritable.
♥ Eat sitting down at a table in a quiet environment. Focus on your food and enjoy it. Yes, we all need breaks during the day to function better.
♥ Often your body is crying for water without you realising it. Try to have water or spritzers if you need to have a drink. Always have a bottle of water with you, and drink it. Aim for at least 2 litres of water per day.
♥ Cook from scratch. Yeah, I know it seems like a hassle but if you plan ahead it's actually easy. Stock up with vegetables; interesting bits and bobs for salads; fresh fruit; lean meat, for example, chicken breasts, salmon, smoked mackerel and fillet; high fibre starches like sweet potato, baby potatoes, tinned legumes, wholegrain rice, oatcakes and porridge; and low fat yogurt, milk and cottage cheese. Mozzarella, ricotta and Parmesan also works like a charm in limited amounts in salads, spuds and steamed vegetables. Transform your plate of food into a healthy feast with fresh herbs, a slice of lemon and a tiny drizzle of olive oil.
♥ Don't stock temptations in your kitchen, bedside drawer or work desk. You will eat them! Replace them with healthier snacks listed above!
♥ Get your body moving – walking, running, gym, dancing or even mundane tasks like house work. I myself love gardening. This not only burns calories but increases your metabolism. Next time you're thinking about driving a short distance, think again and walk – it can make all the difference.
♥ Limit takeaways and eating out to special occasions. We all need a treat once in a while!
I hope these easy guidelines will inspire you to a healthier lifestyle. Gaining a few pounds doesn't mean you're fat, ugly or unworthy. But if you feel your body is telling you that you need to change your lifestyle slightly, then take the bull by the horns, plan your grocery shopping, stock up with healthier food choices, make time to eat regular meals and start exercising. You'll really notice the change in your mood, energy and body!

Good news for those who will be at the same Hallowe'en party as I
These turned out really nicely. That wasn't a surprise, given how fantastically the other two recipes I've taken from my cupcake reference book have turned out.
This — while it may not look terribly appetizing right now — also turned out damn well. I'd heard mixed reviews about this recipe, so I'm happy that it's a success.
The only thing I'm disappointed about is that there will be an even six people at Thanksgiving dinner tonight — allowing for two cupcakes per person. I can't "sample" these before we go!

- Lovely all cotton dress with a shoulder seam problem
I got this dress in size M, my favorite red, and on sale. What could be better?! The fabric is soft and nice 100% organic cotton. Yah! But sadly, the fit of the shoulders was weird. Notice closely that there's some kind of special stitching there. The dress that I received seemed to have seam defects in the upper arm & shoulder area, plus the shoulder fabric was extra thick. It wasn't comfortable. I wish the dress had ordinary seams or even raglan seams. Maybe I should've tried another one to see if it would've fit better when I returned it.
- Modern Mini Dress to be Worn as a Tunic Over Leggings
I just received this and love it! I'm 5'6' or so, about 130lbs, small waist, but I do have hips. Very much a pear shape. I worried about my bottom being covered or if so, the top being way to big. It fits perfectly! Very soft and wonderful material. I haven't washed it yet, but the description says it is pre-washed. So very excited to wear this! I do love your products and so happy there is no bamboo in it either!
- Order one size down to love this dress!
I tried it on and thought, "This is not a cute dress; it's an ugly baggy sweatshirty-thingy!" -- until I came back here, read reviews, and ordered a smaller size. Now it's a cute dress! Very comfortable and looks great with leggings. Order one size down for a dress that gently finds your curves without squeezing them. You'll love it.
- Perfectly comfortable and flattering
Very soft, substantial fabric. Generously sized and very comfortable. Warm, flattering and versatile for fall and winter. I may want to wear it every day.
- Soft and comfy
This dress runs big, but once I got the right size, I love it! Material is super soft and warm enough. Cut is casual with slight flattering shape.
- High quality on many levels
Such value for a beautifully sewn dress. Fabric and fit are perfect. This is my go-to site now.
- Versatile tunic!
This makes an awesome tunic and works really well when paired with leggings and boots, and can easily be layered with a cardigan during the colder months. I initially bought it in charcoal but loved it so much I bought a second one in the blue stripe. They've become wardrobe staples. More colors would be very welcome-- dark green would look great!
- Love This Mini Dress
Super soft and comfortable. Easy to wear over leggings with flats or boots. I can dress it up with pretty jewelry for a business casual look or keep it casual as a weekend look. Excellent quality and wears well. I wash on delicate cycle and lay flat to dry.
- Perfect LS Tunic Dress
Beautiful little tunic dress! It's so comfortable and flattering - I love it! I usually wear dress size 2 - 4 and the XS fits great. I got the grey for Xmas and then I got the navy stripe after because I love the grey so much. A broader range of solid colors next season would be great. Thanks <3
- So soft and flattering!!
This dress is amazingly soft and comfortable, and SO flattering! The length is perfect to wear with tights or leggings, unless you don't mind showing a lot of leg (it hits at the top of my thigh, just below my hips and I'm 5'4").
I would say it runs about 1 size larger than the chart indicates; I have a 29" waist and 40" hips and the small fits me like a glove - hugs all my curves perfectly with a little wiggle room so it's not too clingy.

Film ****
At long last, one of my most eagerly awaited Blu-ray releases is finally here!
The best way I can describe Grosse Pointe Blank is perhaps the most manic multi-genre movie as one can ever hope to find. A film of this type can easily be made into an absolute mess, even in the hands of the most faithful filmmaker. But this gem from 1997 managed to hit every single target in that regard, which is why it is on my personal all-time best list.
It manages to be each of the following things: an intense action thriller, a hilarious comedy, an 80s high school reunion movie, a love story and a most eccentric character study. Can you name another such movie? Nope, me either. When thinking of a movie that is a pure work of originality, it's impossible for this not to be one of the very first to leap to my mind.
Right from the very first scene, you know you're in for a film unlike any other, as we see Martin Blank (John Cusack), a professional government assassin, is preparing to take out his latest target with a sniper rifle from high-rise window. As he is doing this, his secretary (Joan Cusack) informs him via ear piece that his ten year high school reunion is just around the corner, which he immediately shrugs off. And during this entire sequence, which ends rather violently, we are treated to Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now" on the soundtrack.
Martin, as it turns out, is quite hapless at the moment, and is starting to lose his edge in his profession. Following a somewhat botched assignment, one of his employers demands that he make up for it by carrying out an assignment in Detroit, which is not too far away from his home town of Grosse Pointe, where his ten year reunion is about to take place. After persuasion from his secretary, and advice from his put-upon shrink (the always great Alan Arkin), Martin gives in to the idea of setting foot in the place he abandoned a decade ago.
The main ingredient in the luring of Martin back to his hometown is that of Debi (Minnie Driver), a local radio DJ. Martin stood her up on the night of their senior prom, and hasn't seen or spoken to her sense. He still has feelings for her though, and doesn't hesitate a bit to crash in at her radio station to say hi…during a live broadcast, that is, resulting in a most awkward moment.
As if that weren't enough to deal with, Martin is dealt with a few other sucker punches upon his return visit. The very home he grew up in has now become a convenience store, resulting in one of the film's most priceless lines. Following that heartbreaking piece of news, he finds that his mother has somehow landed in a mental home.
To make matters worse, he finds himself being tailed by several suspicious characters. One of whom is a rival assassin named Grocer (Dan Aykroyd, doing some of his best work ever here), who wants Martin taken out for two reasons: he feels he snagged the current contract that was first promised to him, and because he rejected Grocer's offer to join him in the first ever assassin's union, which he really took offense to. To cover his tracks, Grocer has hired two NSA goons to wipe out Martin should he carry out his assignment.
And there's another deadly assassin (iconic martial artist Benny "The Jet" Urquidez) who's after Martin for revenge following an unfortunate piece of business. Their encounters result in two the film's most exciting sequences: a maddening shootout inside the convenience store/Martin's former home…and one of the most phenomenal hand to hand combat sequences I've ever seen. (Fun fact: Urquidez also served as Cusack's martial arts instructor for the movie).
But Martin isn't worried at all about getting killed, because he's simply more worried about patching things up with Debi, who eventually agrees to be his date for the reunion. Also at this point, Martin doesn't know what's worse: having Debi find out about his true profession, or the fact that he may have a newfound respect for life as a result falling back in love with the girl he left behind.
Then we get to the reunion, which for my money is still the best one ever depicted in any movie. For one thing, the soundtrack (which has already been loaded with great 80s tracks up to this point) never dies down. As we see Martin experience one awkward moment after another, we are treated to such great 80s tracks as Take on Me, Walk Like an Egyptian, Under Pressure and 99 Red Balloons. This is one of few movies to have a soundtrack split into two volumes and, as you can expect, they're worth every penny.
And what other movie has featured a brutal hand to hand combat scene in a school hall while English Beat's Mirror in the Bathroom blasts on the soundtrack? When I first saw the film, it was during this sequence that I uttered the word, "GENIUS". Not simply because I had just seen one of the most fantastically original fight scenes ever, but because it was at this point when I realized this movie had literally thrown in everything but the kitchen sink in terms of balancing different genres and moods, and was scoring 100% with each item thrown…a feat that is rarely ever accomplished.
What's more, the movie concludes with a bang, in more ways than one. Through circumstances I won't reveal, a ferocious gun fight between Martin and Grocer at the home of Debi and her father. As Martin takes out multiple gun men, he confesses his true love for Debi and tells her that he's ready to commit to her for good. This sequence also happens to include the best use of a gun and frying pan as a combo killing method you'll ever see, not to mention a television set.
As a lifelong fan of John Cusack, who also co-wrote the film, I can easily say that this remains my absolute favorite film of his. His unique charisma has never been more perfected than in the role of Martin Blank. In fact, everyone in the cast is on their A-game (especially Arkin and Aykroyd) and even smaller supporting roles from the likes of Jeremy Piven and Hank Azaria are indeed memorable.
Grosse Pointe Blank was an absolute gem of a flick when first released, and it's only gotten greater with age. We rarely get films this original in today's movie market, and rarely has a single movie been able to successfully juggle so many different genres at once. This film is so many different things, all of them spectacular!
Video ***1/2
After years of having to deal with a dreadful non-anamorphic DVD release, which is even more depressing when it's a movie you love so much, I can't put into words how happy I am to finally have an appropriately restored/anamorphic widescreen presentation…and on Blu-ray, no less! Even if the presentation itself wasn't that remarkable, I honestly I'd still give it bonus points just for finally being anamorphically enhanced. But as it turns out, Disney did a more than decent job with this HD release. Colors are quite fantastic, especially in bright daylight shots, and dark interiors play off just as good (most notably that of the high school reunion setting). Image detail is better than it's even been for this film. To make a long story short, you would do yourself a huge favor by chucking away your DVD copy and upgrade to this!
Audio ****
I couldn't wait to finally hear this film in a lossless audio track for two precise reasons: the shootouts and the soundtrack! In fact, the best thing about the original DVD release was the sound mix…so you can imagine my thoughts of what a Blu-ray release could pull of. And sure enough, Disney did not disappoint whatsoever! The DTS HD mix is nothing short of explosive, especially when it comes to the action set pieces and the consistent lineup of music playing throughout the movie! And as for the shootout sequences, all I can say is…bloody well done! Dialogue delivery is thoroughly superb and balanced terrifically between the aforementioned areas!
Features ½*
A "15th Anniversary Edition"…and the only extra provided is a Theatrical Trailer. I'm at a loss for words.
Grosse Pointe Blank is simply a brilliant, one of a kind piece of work. And it's only gotten greater in the 15 years since its release. With the exception of the extras (grrrr), this is one Blu-ray release that is truly worth celebrating!

Ghost Children ghost Photo sent to us by Robert Gordon. To See Large Original Image: please visit here Now!
I would like to share one of my ghost experiences, along with a photo that most people agree shows the image of two ghost children.
I explore and photograph abandoned places. In a small town nearby, there is an active care facility for severely handicapped and mentally ill children. The campus is very large, and has many old abandoned buildings scattered around it. One large, L-shaped brick building seems to be a dormitory built in the late 19th century, and appears to have been abandoned for over 20 years. It sits alone on a hill, and is overgrown with vines, ivy, and brush. Inside, there are three decayed floors with many rooms full of peeling paint and artifacts left behind by people who hadn't been there in decades.
While wandering through the halls one day, snapping pictures and studying some of the musty items left behind, I entered a room right inside the foyer on the first floor. I had taken many shots of the porch outside, because I found it to an interesting subject - a decayed, overgrown columned porch, where a lone wooden chair sat in front of the two old wooden doors...It had always intrigued me. Anyway, alone in this room, I began to notice a sharp drop in temperature. About the same time, I got the distinct feeling that I was being watched. Since my friends were on the third floor, inspecting some old, musty documents we found there, I knew that I should have been alone. We had also already toured the entire building, and I knew we were the only people there.
This feeling didn't scare me as much as it excited me - I have had several other experiences since childhood with what I have always believed were ghosts. I stayed there, listening for any sounds that might indicate someone or something was there, but I heard nothing. Soon, the cold dissipated, and the feeling was gone.
When we left, I snapped a shot that porch, to add to the others I had already taken at different times of the year. When I got home, I was stunned by the image of it that appeared on my computer - in the window of the door on the right hand side of the porch, there seemed to be a vivid apparition of a little girl and boy, staring right back at me from inside that cold room!
Please also See Close up larger image here now!
Most people I know have seen this image, and they all agree that they can see these children, through whom can be seen the wooden cross-pieces of the windows. The girl is closest to the center, and the boy is standing just behind her. I imagine them to be either two young siblings, perhaps the children of a doctor, or even patients of the hospital. Whoever they might be, they appear to be forever caught in spirit inside this damp, lonely old building...
Included in this email are two images - the original, and a close up of that same shot. Other than the zoom in, the pictures have not been altered in any way. I have since taken numerous shots of this porch from the outside, from many different angles and in various lighting conditions. I have not been able to reproduce the same result. SInce the building has since been secured by the maintenance workers, I have not returned to go inside.
I hope these images are as intriguing to you as they have been for me.

no, thank you… is there another way to say this nicely?
Yesterday, I was out shopping for mother's day. I had a ten dollar credit that I had to use by Saturday, and since money is tight– I did not want to pass it up.
In a sales flyer I noticed an ad for a 12.1 mega pixel camera. My mother does not use her current digital camera often but I thought this slim pink camera, which would have given her over 3 times the mega pixels she currently has, would be nice– and within my price range since I also had the ten dollar credit.
I circled the Kohls store in Laurel twice looking for cameras and finally asked someone for help. Just past the vacuum cleaners. I had been to that section but did not see them the first time either.
I then decided I would get her a nano. I have no idea how much things like this cost. I have never owned an ipod nor mp3 player of any type other than those on my computers.
So when I found a Nano for $20.00 I thought it was a good deal and decided to get her one. she could walk around the block while using it. As it turns out– I think I confused inexpensive MP3 players available all over for what appeared to be a Nano but was really a protector for a Nano.
I realized my mistake in the parking lot of Kohl's but by the time I had reached the car was too tired.. and my feet hurt.
While I was trying to pay for my mistake– a woman that I thought was jewish was in front of me taking a lot of time.
She said something about– she had a lot more than me and if I had come sooner she would have let me in first. She was good about that. I said it was okay. Then she wanted to give me her 30% off coupon. I said no thank you.
Later I will see all of this — as trying to help me see the error with my purchase. The cover had a menu dial and buttons.. My sister had an ipod once. It sort of looked like that.
My mistakes were reading the pour and for too late and not knowing how much things cost these days. Checking on line a Nano does not cost less then $100.
No– I am not embarrassed. Later that evening after switching my shoes I went back to Laurel to exchange the gift. Kohls was excellent about the whole thing– even giving me my $10.00 credit back.
Ladies… I need an FBI agent to engage directly. If you want to help call them and ask why. Do not try to help me in a store. I am trying to get in and out… I do not even see nor hear unnecessary conversation until I am safely home. I did not see the issues with the Jewish woman's conversations until this morning when I replayed them.
I have a lot on my mind. I am always thinking. When out– I am always trying to insure my safety and that of my bags. I am not trying to have idle conversation no matter how noble.
I may have seen the mistake on my own– had you not tried to "help". I was irritated however never said a nasty word. This is sort of like program bugs. Microsoft and most major software makers have "bug" databases that users contribute too. I don't. I have to test all and find everything on my own.
Even mistakes that are not mine. You are not helping me when my feet hurt — I still have to walk through a large parking area and you want to discuss a lot of things which I do not want to discuss. This does not help me.. I have to find the mistake all on my own. stop.
The other thing the older jewish woman kept doing? Putting her ass in my face.
Lady– I was thinking about this the other day*. I often see a lot of older jewish women with other older jewish women. In the second Fockers' movie Ben Stiller's mother tells Robert Deniro what he is doing wrong as related to his wife and maybe their sex life. Is Deniro's wife alone?
I am alone because I do not need a whore.. and my bed is not big enough for him and my computers, drives and disks. I feel safer sleeping alone. That said– I get too many offers from the wrong guys– FBI. I do not mind being alone. Older Jewish woman– do you? Maybe you should worry about you and not me.
Could you mind your own business– not unless you want to ask the FBI why– I have the skills I have and cannot afford a $150 nano– too? Thanks. Not asking for help, okay!
I have to walk in a quarter of a mile to protect a 21 year old car I cannot afford to replace.. I repeat.. no thank you.
And FBI- on my way to Costco — I was asking thin air why i could not afford a more expensive gift. When I got to costco, at least 3 older white men seem to want to engage me. This is a big mistake. I do not need a whore.. and I am the whore on top of everything else? I told you– idiot drops his draws and that is my license to kill. Keep in mind– I asked "Greg steps on this property– someone cia/fbi shoots to kill". Not me. let one of these idiots drop those draws.. CIA– I will kill it.
*I was trying to remember why I was thinking of this.. Just remembered. On HBO now– George Clooney and most of the Oceans' cast are discussing the life of Jerry W… not sure of his last name. Anyway the show goes in depth into Jerry's life. I am a romantic. I turned away– but I wondered as to some of the reasons for his lifestyle. Perhaps– I read between the lines a little too much now– whereas before.. if you said it was black or white.. I thought it was black or white.
Not enough Jerry. Why pay one million dollars because you like young women and its her who does not want the divorce. Who did she catch you with and why was that worth a million dollars. It was not a pretty young girl– unless she was 5. My speculation.
And a spade a spade? men get tired of that filth? I get it.. Maybe Dinero should have told Ben's mother something. I would never do it.. Jewish women probably like quid pro quo. Trista said– what's that. I said– I like men. I get it.
Hillary you think you are owed because of your ass? See the kings [Donna Brazille] of Odenton and take the Nixons with you.. I see no one's pu-ssy– not even my own. Your ass looks criminal. Or try Michael McClain.. CIA, another one [pompous bitch] that better come nowhere near me. And marine general you replay tape.
See in some quarters I believe Cheryl and Michael may have started something.. ouch ass for sucking pu-ssie. Hillary has an ouch ass. She made a mistake. I am wondering if she knows about all of the horrific rights violations I suffered during the 90s? Hillary criminals also get that ass. Me suck your pussie… drop them bitch.
I repeat CIA- if everything is good– why are the temp and hillary still in play.. looks like she wants to blame her ass on me… didn't she violate my rights? You are using them… still… why?
By the way CIA/FBI/Pentagon.. I think it interesting.. Bill and Hillary are not part of "the family"… Pompous bitch with an ego.. and a temp with perhaps a daddy at home with too much power and the wrong throat? I get it.. Oh I am not blaming them. You all [CIA/FBI/Pentagon] know me too well. I said enough.. now you get these bitches off me.
Jewish women I am not sure–why you want me to feel you.. I want to believe in documentaries. Jewish people are civil rights champions… I do not need a PR person. I do not need a guide. I do not want to join old jewish women looking for an idiot to kiss their asses.
I like your style [fashion], english… I am thinking. I make mistakes. I try to never lie and truly not embarrassed by a lot of my mistakes unless I accuse someone unjustly. I am about just. I like no one's smart ass bitch.
Reminder… I put in a lot of time doing high tech things or thinking of new business ideas. Things most people cannot conceptualize from beginning to end. I can– because I have a good imagination, think like a serial entrepreneur and have the right skills.
Do you know how many of you look like stupid idiots to me when you interrupt my thoughts with your crap? You interrupted me with that petty issue? You're kidding right?
I never thought of myself as an intellectual. Judy Millsap would always say of John Winston [my father was called Winston]– he is an intellectual. Seriously? Your crap bores me.

Unfit to ride
Things don't go wrong one at a time, they go wrong in bunches! Unknown to me at the time of writing my last post I had strained my knee during the 600 BRM that I did. Even though I had allowed it to rest for a couple of weeks, it did not heal completely. Riding even 25km I could feel the twinges of pain. Then the weather started to cool down due to a cold wave in northern India. My arthritis which is mostly silent started to act up, the morning of 10th January I could climb the stairs in the morning only after taking support. However, the thing with arthritis is that as the day warms up, the pain disappears. Yeah, I knew at least 200km of the brevet are going to be in the cold. Lastly, I was not really satisfied with my final bike check ride either. This time my doctor mates were worried too and tried to convince me not to ride.
When things go wrong, Don't go with them! - Elvis Presley
I knew I was not 100% fit but trusting Elvis, I still decided to ride, Not only ride but determined not to quit. I kept repeating to myself - If my bicycle does not break, I won't break either! My only solace was, that as segments of 200km I had done the entire route several times and comfortably.
The day
During the 600km I had already made plans with Balraj and Sanjay that we will ride together. I did have my doubts about being able to keep up with them, but in the freshness of early morning, everything seemed bright. Balraj and I started together and quickly reached up to the first checkpoint the Katiyawad Dhaba at 54km. I got rid of the fleece jacket and woolen cap they were no longer needed. I noticed that my jacket despite cold was drenched with sweat. Swati was also here on her way to the checkpoint where she was volunteering. She got Poha for us which we gobbled down. The group with Joyti, Sarang, Sneha and Sudarshan rolled in.
I had a pack of Enerzal and we sped on to the 100km point. There was a slight tailwind, and at a point, we were speeding at 50+ kmph. The road looked beautiful in the early morning light. I had to stop and take a picture. I let Balraj go ahead while I took some photos. When I tried to go back to my ride recording app my phone crashed. The reboot took about 5 mins and drained a lot of battery. A couple of over-enthusiastic riders rolled past hollering on top of their voice, I later met them again after a few kilometers indulging in something not 100% legit by brevet rules, the details I won't bother with writing here.
100km I did in less than 4.5 hours. Good time I said to myself (considering I was doing a 400). Almost all the riders made it to the 100 point. We joked about things, clicked selfies. I was really enjoying the ride! The pain in the knee was there, but I had put my brain on ignoring it mode.
I started back with Balraj, climbed the Talegaon ghat easily and had hoped to reach Kathiyawad Dhaba would be a breeze. Instead, we got some headwinds, we focused intently on pedaling. The extra effort was hurting the knee. I did not notice that the sun was getting hotter. I kept having water, but I was losing a lot of electrolytes with the sweat. I ignored the initial warning signs of Sodium depletion as well. At the checkpoint I had some food but not enough fluids. I was feeling tired. The sun continued to beat down relentlessly. We stopped for tea, waved and invited all the passing riders as well to our favorite chai tapri. I felt slight nausea but rode on. We were less than 20km from the halfway mark, what could go wrong? Most likely this is what Balraj must have thought as he sped ahead.
10 more kilometer my legs suddenly turned to jelly. I just could not cycle anymore. Thankfully the cheerful quartet, Joyti, Sarang, Sneha, and Sudarshan, had come along with me from the last tea break. They all urged me to continue, I assured them I will NOT quit, but I need a break. Sudarshan stayed with me as I sat down on a heap of gravel by the roadside. I am thankful to him for staying back. This time I knew what went wrong, experience has it's value so what if only in retrospect. I dissolved 2 tabs of Fast and Up: Reload in 500ml and drank it all. Five-minute rest and I felt confident enough to ride again. I rolled into the 200km checkpoint in just a shade over 11 hours. This was still going according to my plan. I was fully aware that this was just half of the journey.
At this checkpoint which had been deliberately kept bang in the middle of the city were Balraj's mother and daughter with some great food. Thanks to them for the hearty meal. Swati was also there with some cheese sandwiches. I ate, I told Balraj to go ahead with Sanjay. Again assuring him that I won't quit. Reviewed the mistakes committed. Had overlooked removing my thermal leggings in the heat (notice at 200). Had not taken enough electrolytes. More food was needed than taken. Had not taken a painkiller when I should have. Too many of them...
First doubts about the ability to finish started creeping in. Whatever I planned, I knew I would need help in keeping me motivated to execute it. I decided to stick with the quartet for rest of the brevet as did another rider, Bhushan. Sneha is known for not leaving a rider behind! I was banking on it.
The night
The night was terrible, cold, dark roads, very painful knee, but I kept at it relentlessly. Whenever I would fall back Sneha and Joyti would let me creep up and sing "Tere karva me shamil hona chahu" and we would all laugh! Whenever I was with Sarang, he would keep a motivating speech ready. I am thankful to the three of them for this.
At the end of a particularly steep climb I was a bit behind, exhausted I called out to Bhushan to stop for a while. He offered a methi paratha which I thankfully gobbled down. I had enough water and electrolytes. At 260km I ate an omelette rolled from Sudarshan. 283 km, Pandhurna, Balaji Dhaba was a food point. Had Dal Roti. Just around midnight, we reached Teegaon - the 300 km checkpoint! Jitesh Bhai and Rajesh ji had kept hot tea ready for us. They also motivated us to keep pedaling.
From 300 km the return consisted of large segments of downhill road. As planned we stopped at every 20km to have tea till we reached Heti checkpoint - 360 km done!
The dawn
With just 40 km more I knew I had it within my grasp. My body was exhausted but I was mentally prepared and adamant, plus I had a secret weapon! A 600ml bottle of flat coca cola. I drank it all. The caffeine + sugar was the rush I needed. I also knew that this is like nitrox - burns out pretty fast. I had to go non-stop. I started pedaling as fast as I could.
Atop one of the flyover, I heard the Fajr ki azaan being called out from a nearby mosque. Though a non-believer the sound filled me with warmth - it was heralding the dawn, it was heralding the end of my ordeal, I was almost home. I started breathing easy.
At 6:36 am, in 25 hours and 6 mins, I rolled into Zero Mile.
I was limping from pain as I got down but it did not matter - I made a plan. I stuck to the Plan. I delivered.
