Indian Telly Awards were envisioned as a way to reward professionals
behind the scenes of the Indian television business in 2001
by Indian Television Dot Com Pvt Ltd, a Mumbai-based television
services company.
At that time, the Indian television industry really had no
awards dedicated to recognising the skills and talents in
the business, be it behind the scenes or on camera. Other
television awards were a sub-component of a main film awards
function where the focus was really on Bollywood. And again,
here it is only the face of television - the artistes - who
got recognition and rewarded.
Recognising this, The
Indian Telly Awards
2001 were instituted with support from the four
main Hindi entertainment television channels and producers.
They were held at the Oberoi Hotel on 6 July 2001 and the
TV show followed on 9 September 2001 on Star Plus. They were
a huge success.
The response from industry this year has enthused us at Indian
Television Dot Com Pvt Ltd to expand the number of categories
from 18 last year to 47 in the second edition of The Indian
Telly Awards. The awards have moved from being primarily trade
focused to include even popular categories to recognize the
talents of people on screen and associated with the process
of production too - eg. Best TV Scriptwriter, Best Actress,
Best Actor, Best Music Director, Best Director.. This is something
industry had been asking for. However, we have not lost our
vision: Celebrate and recognising excellence, Celebrating
the best of television today.
For easy referencing, we have split up the awards into the
following groups -
AWARDS (THE EXECUTIVE AWARDS) comprising 11
AWARDS comprising 6 sub-categories
AWARDS comprising 3 major subdivisions
CHANNEL AWARDS - 3 sub-categories
PROGRAMMING AWARDS - 12 sub-categories
PERSONALITY AWARDS - 14 sub-categories
Lifetime Achievement Award
The Indian Telly Awards 2002 cover the period from January
2001 to December 2001 and nominations are being called for
from television channels, production houses, and artistes.
A key difference from other awards of its ilk is that they
have been instituted by indiantelevision.com, known for its
unbiased stance on issues relevant to the business of television.

News Item
Robert Orci Speaks About Transformers 2
The fine folks over at IGN interviewed screenwriter Robert Orci. As well as the new J.J Abrams Star Trek flick, he had a few things to say about Transformers 2:
*Filming starts in three weeks
*It picks up two years after the first film.
*There will be a better balance between the Transformers and human characters. The larger budget allows for more freedom that way.
(and here's the news I'm most excited about!)
*According to Orci, Soundwave and Ravage will definitely be there.
Check out the full interview here
Also Transformers2.com has gone live. However it directs you to the old movie site at this time.
And on a completely random unrelated note. Those of you looking for a halfway decent Sam Witwiky figure, that dont want to settle for that little solid piece packaged in the Screen Battle packs. You might want to take a look at the Indiana Jones "Mutt Williams" figure from Hasbro. The figure is a pretty good scale (just about the same size as "Energon Kicker") and other than the light shirt his costume is a lot like Sam's.
Whats wrong with this picture?

|Posted by Brian Dickmann on January 12, 2015 at 9:05 PM
After three impressive victories by double digits in six days to open the Horizon League season, the Green Bay Phoenix have once again garnered votes in the AP Top 25 poll.
Green Bay rolled to victories over Wright State last Monday (79-55), at Milwaukee on Friday (79-63), and against Youngstown State on Sunday night (82-67).
GB received votes in this week's poll for the first time since January 27th of last year. The 3 votes received would rank the Phoenix 37th in the nation in this week's AP poll.
Green Bay has not been ranked in the AP Top 25 since March 5, 1996.
In other rankings released on Monday, the Phoenix remained at #4 in the latest CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25. The top 6 teams remained unchanged from a week ago, with Gonzaga taking all the available first place votes, followed by Wichita State, Northern Iowa, Green Bay, Stephan F. Austin, and Valparaiso.
Meanwhile, in the weekly Mid-Major Madness Power 15, the Phoenix moved up 3 spots, up to #7 from #10 a week ago. This poll includes teams from the Atlantic 10 Conference as well as Conference USA. Gonzaga remained #1 with Wichita State, VCU, Dayton, and Northern Iowa rounding out the top 5.
Also on Monday, CBS Sport's Jerry Palm released an updated Bracketology with Green Bay holding on as a 12 seed in his latest projection. Palm has the Phoenix playing the #5 seed Oklahoma State in Louisville.
While ESPN's Joe Lunardi did not release a full bracket, he did release an updated seed list where teams would be slotted if the tournament started today, in his opinion. Lunardi slotted Green Bay 46th overall, which would equate to a 12 seed. It is important to note that in Lunardi's previous Bracketology release he did not have the Phoenix in the tournament due to Cleveland State being in first place in the Horizon League with a 2-0 record while GB had yet to play a game. In his view, Green Bay would not make the tournament as an at-large.
Lunardi's Monday "Bracket Math" places Syracuse as the last at-large team into the field as a #12 seed along with Green Bay, so while the Phoenix would be on the bubble, the only guarantee they have to make the tournament is to win the Horizon League Tournament this March.

LUKE DOUCET at the Rivoli, January 19. Tickets: $6. Attendance: 120. Rating: NNN
like randy newman and maybe Neil Finn, Luke Doucet is a songwriter's songwriter. His fan base bears a ridiculously long list of similarly gifted musicians -- Danny Michel, Andy Stochansky, a Rheostatic or two -- who can't say enough about the Veal frontman's ability to splice a simple thought or emotion with a simple power-pop tune and end up with a something greater than the sum of its parts.
Mia Sheard digs the Vancouverite's compositions so much that she covered one of them, Mexico Texaco, and shot a companion video. Judging by Friday's early turnout for opener Doucet -- supporting Michel over two nights -- the word is spreading.
Alone onstage with his electric guitar, Doucet didn't exactly cut a towering pop figure. But the rewards of the set itself were rich, particularly the way the singer made lyrics snap together like jigsaw pieces. Nothing comes across as scattershot -- Doucet obviously spends as much time agonizing over turns of phrase as he does melody, and that attention to detail is what elevates his stuff.
Sadly, though, his delicate tunes just couldn't get a Friday-night crowd to shut the fuck up -- 30 minutes in and Doucet was nearly inaudible. All the more reason to check him out tonight (Thursday, January 25) along with simpatico talents Shannon Lyon and ex-Killjoy Mike Trebilcock at Ted's. And this time, people, cork it.

Today I met a wonderful trainer by the name of Jamie Magnor. She rehabed and helped my head coach improve his range of motion. She also took the time to perform a minor assessment on me as well. She has done all of this voluntarily. She is by far highly educated and very capable of charging whatever she wanted BUT she hadn't. What that is called is "paying it forward". She is the perfect example of a good steward. She will not only help us, but we will in turn take what WE'VE LEARNED and pass it down to others who will benefits the fruit of her labor.
What does it mean? God's gifts were meant to be shared. Be a blessing today and make an impact in someone's life.

Once you make that choice to get lean and healthy, it can be a challenge to stay motivated and stick with your program. Here are five ways to stay motivated to reach your fitness and weight loss goals.
Understand Why –
These are the real reasons that you decided to lose weight, to live longer and spend time with loved ones. More energy, or simply to look better and feel attractive, or to fit into those jeans, that bikini or wedding dress. Recognize and embrace the REAL reason(s) you are dieting, exercising and sweating – remind yourself daily of what you want to achieve and WHY.
Get Real –
If your main goal is weight loss, you need realistic and achievable weight loss goals to avoid the frustration of never meeting your intermediate daily, weekly and monthly goals. If you never reach goals, you will soon give up. Most safe, effective and permanent weight loss goals should be in the range of one to two pounds per week. One to two pounds may not sound like much, but thats 50 to 100 pounds over the next year!
Small Goals –
Meeting a series of small goals will help you reach the big goals. Daily goals like following your eating plan, avoiding the sugar traps and drive-up windows and hitting the gym instead of spending the evening on the couch will produce results that help you reach weekly and monthly goals. Don't underestimate the power of small goals.
Celebrate –
Now that you are meeting (achieving) smaller goals more often, celebrate your successes to stay motivated. Note: Don't use food as a reward, you are not a puppy who needs treats. Instead of cupcakes, treat yourself with a spa treatment, new shirt or blouse, new running shoes, or a day at the pool or yoga retreat. Recognize your small successes, take pride in them, and you will become more motivated to achieve the next.
Write It Down –
Recording your successes (and failures) can provide valuable feedback. The foods you eat and don't eat, the weights you lift or laps you swim or run allow you to SEE the progress you are making or make adjustments when you are not progressing. Keeping a food journal and fitness log also forces you to focus.
Bonus Tip –
Choose a program (fitness and diet) that fits your busy lifestyle and avoid those that are impossible to stick to. Thrive by Le-vel is a program designed to enhance your body's physiological functions and improve your body's ability to burn fat faster by boosting your metabolism. Not only will your body burn more calories, but you'll also experience improved brain function, a stronger immune system and healthy digestive function while promoting stronger joints and lean muscle tissue growth.

I started this post on the afternoon of 23 January. I write as a way of getting out of a crash. A lot of the time I do not publish my writings. You will see it has been over a year since I published anything. I spent the year feeling that my problems were too insignificant for other people to want to know about. A good friend has asked me to publish this, so here we go…
I lay in bed this morning rolled up in a ball wondering if a fall from the fourth floor would be enough. If I get out of bed will I cope, will I survive.
How did I get here? Last night finished so well. I had confirmed a date with a special lady 😊😊 which I am very excited about. We have started exploring what is to me a new facet to sensuality and intimacy. I may expound on this later.
But this morning, what has happened? What triggered this episode?
I don't usually say this but I am good at my job, damn good at my job. And for the past 11 years I have been teaching myself how to not take criticism personally. I try now to look at criticism as an opportunity to make myself better at my work and as a person. And I am succeeding at being able to take criticism/comments/suggestions/feedback/etc. It hasn't flustered me for a very long time now. I can look at the feedback and learn from it and move forward.
The current project has a tight time frame and if we do not get it right may adversely affect a disadvantaged and vulnerable sector of the community. I have read the legislation, perused the rules, analysed the different options and now believe we/I are able to provide a fit for purpose tool for helping make good decisions. This week we are getting ready to start development on the tool in earnest. So all was going well. What happened? One persona few levels up in management said something in a meeting that threw me.
"I bet you can't do what we need."
Seems fairly innocent. The comment wasn't even aimed at me, I wasn't at the meeting (apparently the meeting was above my pay grade). When the comment was relayed to me an interesting thing happened. Every single insecurity in my life started flooding into my mind. That was me gone for the rest of the day. I went home, had dinner and went to bed.
Do you think I could sleep? Not likely. In fact I was up for a lot of the night sitting by the loo throwing up. That is one of the physical manifestations of my anxiety. Once I finally felt safe to return to bed I lay there thinking of how I was going to fail.
The alarm goes off but I am rolled up in a ball not wanting to get out of bed. Eventually I roll over get out of bed, get dressed and head to the doctor's and sit in the waiting room waiting for some free time. This is the first time I have turned up without an appointment. He saw me almost straight away. Thank you to the person who said I could go in in front of them. We chatted. It only took 10 minutes and I was off to work, still shaky, but with a promise I could call him whenever I wanted.
What really made me okay that day? A number of things. My doctor willing to listen. My colleagues who know about and understand the struggle I have. But mostly my Twitter friends. Here is a group of people who I can talk to without fear of judgement. I have said this before, I owe my life to my Twitter friends. They listen, they don't judge, they cry with me and laugh with me.
I am going to stop there. I need to get ready for a date…

Originally published on Global Comment
I am going to come right out with this – I love this song. I think it's one of the best Christmas songs ever. However, I'm aware that it gets a massive bashing every year and is, for some reason, hated by lots of people. It was even banned from Costa Coffee stores in 2013 after being voted one of the most-hated Christmas songs, although the problem with polls of that sort is that the most-hated and the most-popular lists are often almost identical. I think Sir Cliff tends to inspire a bit of a Marmite reaction in some people – they almost dislike him on principle, completely unfairly – so consider today's advent selection your chance to give him another go.
I must admit that with the video to this song, Sir Cliff isn't doing himself any favours. The opening scene is of Cliff himself standing outside a small child's bedroom window, staring in as she lies in bed. She seems to be sleeping until suddenly her eyes fly open (you might say in terror, as if she can feel someone staring at her through the window her parents have negligently left wide open to both strangers and the cold). Happily, however, we all know that Cliff is a good man and that we're watching a Christmas music video and not a horror movie, and he walks away from the window as the first verse begins. After all, he's needed – for singing!
The rest of the video is a little bit odd, although not as odd as some of the Christmas single videos we've seen in this year's advent calendar. But why, for example (and indeed, how) does Sir Cliff pull a lighted candle from the village's water butt as it's being filled from the pump? Why do the village's inhabitants look like a slightly motley 1980s-era Les Miserables Christmas cult, with their own triangle- and bugle-playing military band (who, incidentally, are most definitely not up to military marching standards)? Why did no one from the wardrobe department spot the fact that one character's hunting hat has an earflap sticking up all the way through filming and fix it, for all our sakes? And as for the 'magical' computer-generated animation, I'm not even sure what to say to that, so let's not even go there. I'm pretty sure that real-fake snow would have been both cheaper and more effective. I do like the giant gong though – I might add one of those to my Christmas list (after my Boney M carousel, of course). And Sir Cliff's dancing just after he hits the gong is sheer genius – I cannot believe that this move didn't become a dance floor staple like the Macarena; it would have been so much easier to learn, and everyone could have done it to this song at their Christmas parties. Maybe its time has finally come – I think we should call it the Sir Cliff Swing. Don't forget to include that little kick, people.
Mistletoe and Wine was originally written for a 1976 musical called Scraps and was intended to be a satirical take on a Christmas carol for a scene when the little match girl is kicked out of a pub by the cruel middle classes. By the time the musical was adapted for television, the character of the match girl had become a prostitute and the song had evolved into more of a music hall number. However, Sir Cliff wanted to bring back some spirituality into the song, and rewrote the lyrics without taking any royalties to make them more Christian in theme, leaving us with the song we know and love today.
Mistletoe and Wine was Sir Cliff's 99th – yes, actually his 99th – single. It was also his 12th number one and his first solo Christmas number one (but not his last).
Go on, I dare you to enjoy it:

Translation Notes:
I hate adding superfluous notes, but I had to take enough of a cognitive leap on the first stanza that I thought it worth explaining myself. What's happening here is that there are gazes, metaphorical in nature, probably towards some ideal future, that are flickering/dying out. This, the line says, is the "hero's compass". By inference: there are people out there fighting and dying for some ideal future that they wish the world or universe will one day reach, it is this drive of others, of the people so to say, that the hero picks up because on their own, the people cannot attain this ideal. The aims of the hero should be and are the same as the aims of the righteously fighting masses, so to speak. That's how I arrive at the hero's compass being driven by the gazes of martyrs. The hero makes no promise to these struggling dying people, (I mean, it's not like this is a concrete enough concept), but even so any one who thinks of him or herself as a hero will weigh anchor and try to attain that same goal of the people – the line refers to a nebulous group of others while implicitly referring to himself so that's were the last "as do I" comes in – also because I need to balance line length. It is possible that this distinction of "they" may also be referring to the "heroes" on the enemy's side as well.
I'm not familiar with this series, so I'm sorry in advance for any references I didn't pick up on.

Wednesday May 23, 2001 Homily by Fr. Robert Altier Sixth Week of Easter
Reading (Acts 17:15, 22-18:1) Gospel (St. John 16:12-15)
Jesus tells us in the Gospel reading today that everything that the Spirit is going to teach to the Church comes from Himself. He has told us in the past that He speaks only what He hears from the Father. Now He tells us that the Holy Spirit will not speak on His own. He will speak only what He hears from Jesus. So once again we see a revelation of the Trinity. We see the two processions of the Trinity: the Son proceeding from the Father, and then the Holy Spirit proceeding from the Father and the Son. Jesus makes that clear again, He tells us, "Everything that the Father has belongs to Me," and "Everything the Holy Spirit will say He will receive from Me." Jesus receives it from the Father, and the Holy Spirit receives it from the Father through the Son, just as They have Their processions. That is what we mean in the Creed when we say we believe in the Holy Spirit who proceeded from the Father and the Son. From the Father to the Son to the Holy Spirit are the processions in the Trinity. This deals with the very essence of Their being. It is not a chronological thing. It is not that the Father existed and then one day the Son began to exist and then another the day the Holy Spirit began or even one instant and another instant. All Three are simultaneous, but They work through one another because They are one.
Since 1054 that has been a stumbling block. This is the very point that Catholics and Orthodox were divided over. The Orthodox saying the Son proceeds from the Father and the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father. The Catholic Church saying the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. Thanks be to God that has all been worked out now. The theologians have been able to see where the struggles were, the differences in the languages and the differences in the understanding, and figure out that really in essence we were saying the same thing. So it is a point where we are closer to unity. That is what we need to keep praying for, because the Holy Spirit is given to lead us into all truth and that truth is one. The greatest scandal, the Holy Father tells us, in the world today is the division among Christians. They are all claiming to have unity with Christ and are not even having unity with one another.
That certainly is something we need to think about among ourselves. People who even worship together and still can hardly tolerate one another. There is something that is particularly tragic about that. All of us believe in the same Faith. All of us receive that exact same Lord in Holy Communion. Jesus is united with each one of us when we receive Holy Communion and therefore we are united with one another because of that. We are united with one another because of our Baptism, because we are all Baptized into the Body of Christ. Then we have this unity with one another when we receive Holy Communion. But the way that we sometimes treat one another, one would never ever know that was the case. We need to make sure that charity is the factor that is overriding in our lives; that we are seeking to love the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ; that we are seeking to love one another. If we are truly going to claim to love Christ, not just merely to believe in Him, but to love Him then we need to love those whom He loves. This is part of the truth that the Holy Spirit has been given to lead us into.
Each one of us needs to recognize what St. Paul told the people on the Areopagus, that the Lord has destined Jesus to judge the world with justice; and he tells us that He has endorsed Him in the sight of all by raising Him from the dead. This in not something that we can sit back with a flippant attitude about. Rather He has given us a commandment, and the Holy Spirit (we saw yesterday) was given to remind us of all He has told us. Today we are told He is given to lead us into all truth. None of us has any excuse: if we are holding a grudge; if we are carrying anger; if we are being judgmental; if we are doing anything that fails in charity, we are without excuse because the Holy Spirit has been poured forth into our hearts. He has been poured forth into the hearts of each of us to lead us into unity, to lead us into charity. So we need to get rid of the disension. We need to seek truth in charity. That is the goal of every Christian.
What it really comes down to is we need to get rid of the pride, and in humility of heart reach out to others and bring them to the truth. That does not mean in the least bit to water down the truth. I am not talking about any sort of false ecumenism that says let us only talk about the things that we agree about and forget everything else. No, we have to be about the fullness of truth. We cannot water that down. But neither do we beat people over the head with truth. The truth will speak for itself if we invite people to it; if we help them to see it; if we pray to the Holy Spirit that He will stir up their hearts and their minds to hear and to accept the truth. That is what St. Paul had to do with his preaching, that is what the others did, and the same is true for us. We need to trust in the Holy Spirit and not in ourselves, for that is the purpose for which He was given. If we truly believe this, and part of that truth is the love that we must have for one another (and that is not just some nice fuzzy feeling that we have,) it is truth and love that must be expressed in action. We must understand the unity that is there, and strive to live that unity by the way that we treat one another.
Note: Father Altier does not prepare his homilies in advance, but relies solely upon the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. This text was transcribed from the audio recording of a homily by Father Robert Altier with minimal editing.

I think I was around twelve years old when I first pictured being a mom. The typical one boy, one girl scenario. I picked out names, chose their eye and hair color. Very much like a designing your own Cabbage Patch doll.
Now that I have been married for nearly a year, the question has started to repeat itself ad nauseam: "When are you having children?"
We have talked about it. We have considered schooling options. Where would we raise them. Where would I give birth. My 12-year-old self is picking out paint colors for a nursery. Meanwhile, however, my 29-year old self is wondering if I have lived life fully enough without children.
My husband is a traveler. I had only been out of the country once prior to meeting him and in just four years, we have visited three continents together. Our last trip was to the Philippines. A 36-hour journey from our home in Puerto Rico. We spent most of our trip on boats, motorbikes or on foot. It was on our nine-hour flight from Tokyo that it hit me: Would I still get to do this if I had children? Would I still get to travel? Would I still experience adventure? Booking a flight on a whim, figuring out where you were sleeping that night just hours prior, meeting new people from around the world. Would I be missing out? Was I ready for a child? Could I handle it?
As I begin to think about children, carrying a new addition in my belly for nine-months and welcoming them into the world, I wanted to know what makes motherhood worth it. Would the blessing of being a mother overshadow any regrets or fears that I may have for my career or traveling the world? So I asked mothers within my family questions about what it was like to be a mom.
My sister-in-law is a blessing to my brother. She has truly brought so much light into his life and has welcomed two beautiful girls into their family. As a new mother and one fairly close in age, I wondered how her life as a career woman has changed with the birth of her daughters. I asked her what made her happiest about being a mom and she responded with what I can only read with a smile:
"I have a new feeling of happiness as a mother. It happens when I witness my daughters having an epiphany, experiencing unfiltered joy or excitement, and expressing love. It feels like a rush of heavy happy hormones in my chest; oxytocin."
I have struggled with happiness for much of my adult life. The pressure of "finding" happiness as if it is under a rock somewhere. It gives me excitement and hope to experience the true heart warming feeling of witnessing the happiness of your child even in the simplest, everyday occurrences.
My godmother was my mom's best friend in college. She has four children of her own and a steadfast history of providing me with notable advice on the occasions we get to catch up. I asked her, what her favorite part is about being a mother:
"I love the people my children have grown into. I bubble up with pride and awe over their depth and curiosity and compassion. I am completely fulfilled as a mom knowing that I am blessed to have had a part in their lives and in instilling the value of family, community, respect, tradition, generosity and work. Being a mom makes me happy to my core. It's a forever calling and I am very happy I haven't been fired yet! I am happiest when I am connected to my children and they are well, safe and content."
Fulfillment as a mother. I have always defined myself by my work. I realize now so many flaws in that rationality. Being a mother is a calling. It takes work. It takes more dedication than I know and it takes the utmost amount of selflessness that is truly humbling to witness.
Finally, I asked my own mother about being a mom. I know that when my mom had me, it was in her vision to be a stay-at-home mom. Unfortunately, (or perhaps fortunately) the universe had different plans. In the end, it wouldn't have worked out any other way. I asked my mom her favorite part about being my mom:
"Knowing that I did an acceptable job when given the honor and responsibility of caring, protecting, teaching, and loving a new addition to this planet, and watching them become a positive contribution to the human race. Most of all, I felt needed."
Acceptable is an understatement, Mom. I have always struggled with the notion of feeling a part of something bigger than myself. Feeling needed. I could think of no better way to leave a lasting impression in the world than in welcoming life. Truly embracing the gift that is childbirth and the honor and privilege it is to shape the life of a child. If that isn't living life to it's fullest, I'm not sure what is.
My aunt recently shared a black and white photograph of my great grandparents on a road trip along the west coast from Washington to California with their two young sons. Their 1910 Model T had a pop-out cover where they would cook their meals and they wrote each day in a travel diary that my dad still has today. I suppose if they could handle that journey 100 years ago with two children, I should be able to manage any adventure travels still on my list with my child on my back.

Is there Any Chance to Get Off Dialysis2016-12-09 15:37
To be frankly, for patients who just take dialysis, there are big chance for them to get off dialysis. For those patients who have been on dialysis for a long time, they may lose the chance to off it, but they still can reduce the times of dialysis.
How can patient get off/reduce the times of dialysis?
Kidney is an important organ with multiple functions. It is composed of different kinds of kidney intrinsic cells like glomerular mesangial cell, glomerular epithelial cell and so on. For one who is suggested to start dialysis, there are healthy, injured and necrotic kidney intrinsic cells in the kidney. For these necrotic intrinsic cells, they can not be revived to work again, but for these which are injured mildly, they can be repaired effectively by activating and strengthening their self-curative ability. When much more kidney cells to perform function, kidney function is improved greatly and also patients' chance to get off dialysis is increased greatly.
What treatment can help the patient get off dialysis?
Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can help the patient get off dialysis. This treatment is based on Chinese herbs which are externally used together. These herbs in it have function of expanding blood vessels, blocking inflammation, preventing coagulation and degradating extracellular matrixes. With these benefits, injured kidney cells can be repaired effectively. What's more, this treatment cause no side effects or discomforts, so it is more preferable compared with many steroid medicines.

Breaking down a truly spectacular Battle…
I was hoping to write another movie review, but I haven't had a chance to actually get out to the cinema, so none of the films I could review would be very recent. I have on the other hand been keeping up with the latest summer TV, in particular Game of Thrones. The latest episode The Spoils of War was a high point for the entire series and I thoroughly enjoyed the jaw dropping battle sequence. However, since I don't want to spend forever writing long episode recaps about every episode in a season, I've come up with a new segment called "Making a scene" in which I will look at specific scenes from films and television episodes. And this week, I will be looking at the "Field of Fire" sequence from Game of Thrones Season 7 episode 4. As I'll be talking about a scene from season 7 of Game of Thrones, be warned, there will be spoilers!
This episode has many amazing and well-crafted scenes. It may well be one of the best episodes the series has ever produced, and the gob-smacking ending is what captivated me most. To recap, after spending three episodes holding back, Daenerys Targaryen finally has enough and decides to attack the vulnerable Lannister army as they transport food and supplies to King's Landing. Caught on the road unready for battle, the Lannisters are decimated by the horde of Dothraki screamers and literally burned to cinders by Drogon's fire. By the end of the episode the entire army is routed and although Bronn manages to wound the dragon, the day definitely belongs to Daenerys.
The scene is masterfully directed and the director Matt Shakman should be extremely proud. His shots make the battle feel the way it does, and in terms of emotion, if not scale, I would say this sequence eclipses the Battle of the Bastards by miles. To be fair, it was always going to be hard to compete with a dragon. The camera-work is balanced between sweeping views of the action from up high as we fly with Drogon, to claustrophobic shaky cam and tracking shots, as we follow Jaime Lannister and Bronn through the fiery battlefield.
The tracking shots keep us close to the characters, allowing us to see the approaching army as they see it, and it is terrifying. The landscape shots of Drogon let us know what is happening and are immensely beautiful. Fans are calling this scene the Field of Fire after another battle from Westeros history. It's easy to see why. The fire engulfs soldiers and explodes wagons, creating enough smoke to blot out the sun. the CG work with the dragon and the flames are extraordinary, especially for a TV show, and blend seamlessly with the live action. The practical makeup and props are also incredible, and the shots of men burning alive in agony are enough to make us wonder if Daenerys is really the good guy here!
The pace of the battle is quick and tension building. Rather than the slow slog of the Battle of the Bastards, where two armies pushed at each other until one gave way, this battle is decided fast. The pace keeps us from relaxing, creating tension, especially as we are unsure who to route for here. After all, both sets of characters are important to the viewer. All of this gives us a sense of dread as the Dothraki charge at us, and everything in this scene is tailored to increase that dread. From the moment we first hear the horde coming, we feel awestruck. The thunder of hooves, the eerie shriek of the Dothraki before we see them, and the roar of a dragon all feel bowel-loosening. The stunt work by the horsemen is sheer brilliance; the men stand on the back of the horse and shoot bows. Now we can see why many advise never to face the Dothraki in an open field.
There are many elements that can make part of a battle scene memorable, but rarely do all these elements come together so perfectly. Each aspect of the scene is honed to the highest standard, and I caught myself actually sitting on the edge of my seat as it went on. I can give Matt Shakman no greater praise than that this scene has affected me in a profound way, and it'll be long while before I see anything so good again.

Renford Davis, 47, Patterson, New Jersey, pled guilty to a wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy in connection with a mortgage fraud and property-flipping scheme involving rental properties in Patterson, New Jersey. Davis, whose trial on a 25-count Indictment against him and two codefendants was to begin on May 4, admitted conspiring with his co-defendants and several others to originate mortgage loans fraudulently and to engage in money laundering with proceeds of the loans during 2002 through 2005. The loans were for two and three-family homes in Paterson.
Davis pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge JosÉ L. Linares to one count of wire fraud conspiracy, which carries a maximum statutory penalty of 30 years in prison and a fine of $1 million, and one count of money laundering conspiracy, with a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
Under the advisory U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, Davis faces an actual sentencing range of between 30 and 37 months in prison. The guidelines are advisory only, however, and Judge Linares has discretion in imposing a sentence within, above or below the guidelines range. Davis will also be required to pay restitution to the victims.
Davis admitted that he conspired with Michael Eliasof, a former Paramus real estate agent; W.C., a Garfield attorney; Melanie Gebbia, W.C's legal assistant; Gerald Carti, a former US Mortgage Corp. loan officer; Frank Corallo, a former US Mortgage loan processor; Amer Mir, a former loan officer at United Home Mortgage Co. in Jersey City; Claribel Morrobel, who recruited borrowers for Eliasof; and Hopeton Bradley, who jointly managed with Davis of the Paterson properties involved in the scheme; and others. Eliasof, Gebbia, Carti, Morrobel, Corallo, Bradley (who has since died) and one other conspirator have each pleaded guilty in connection with this scheme; W.C. is also deceased; and Mir's trial is scheduled to begin May 4, along with that of co-defendant Frederick Ugwu, Saddle River, New Jersey.
Davis admitted recruiting borrowers to purchase two- and three-family homes in Paterson through Eliasof knowing that the borrowers would be putting no money down to purchase these properties. Davis further admitted providing false verifications of rent to Corallo and others to help these borrowers qualify for mortgage loans. Davis also admitted that the closings of these loans take place at the law office of W.C., then a Garfield municipal judge, and that Bradley and Davis through their real estate management company, Renhops, received substantial portions of the fraudulent loan proceeds after the closings.
Davis's guilty plea is the latest step in an investigation by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General (HUD-OIG) the FBI, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations Division into fraudulent Federal Housing Administration-insured and conventional mortgage loans originated by various New Jersey mortgage companies, including US Mortgage and United Home Mortgage. The investigation has resulted in a dozen guilty pleas from New Jersey residents.
Acting U.S. Attorney Ralph J. Marra, Jr. made the announcement.
Marra credited Special Agents of HUD-OIG, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Rene Febles; Postal Inspectors of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, under the direction of Postal Inspector In Charge David L. Collins; Special Agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Weysan Dun; and Special Agents of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge William P. Offord, for their investigation.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark E. Coyne of the U.S. Attorney's Commercial Crimes Unit.

Dr. Robert H. Lescelius, known widely as "Doc", has long been recognized among men of God as a masterful teacher of the Word of God. His life and ministry since his conversion over fifty years ago has touched, influenced, and enriched countless lives, and has advanced the cause of Christ in a generation where strong, Spirit filled teaching of God's word has given way to a powerless tickling of the ear. He faithfully expounds the Word, setting forth doctrinal teaching and the practical application of the truths of scripture in meticulous detail.
Doc serves as an associate pastor for Peachtree Baptist Church in Senioa, GA and as the Academic Dean of Georgia Baptist College. He carries a burden to see true Revival sweep across our land and the world and ignites it in others as he relates true stories of revivals through the oral and written word.
Doc has been married to his beautiful wife, Dolly, for over 58 years. They have two sons, Bob and Jonathan.

Wigley draws little comfort
Southampton 0 Manchester City 0
WHEN SOUTHAMPTON TURN UP AT Goodison Park for their Premiership match, against Everton on October 16, they will be unbeaten for three weeks — which, as Steve Wigley, the head coach, joked, is because they do not play for another fortnight thanks to the international break. As humour goes, it was definitely of the gallows variety. If a run that has brought only two draws from his six games in charge continues, either he is for the chop or Southampton are for the drop.
Saturday's performance, which left them in the bottom three, suggests that things will get worse a lot sooner than they get better — if, indeed, they do get better. Manchester City (known almost universally as "Crisis Club Manchester City" a few weeks…

Well-armed and plentiful, these troops are effective at tearing down enemy buildings. These unique Roman soldiers have more health.
The Heavy Legion is a Level 5 Roman unique Heavy Infantry unit unlocked in the Classical Age. Its predecessor is the Legion. It can be upgraded to Caesar's Legion. It is researched in a level 4 blacksmith. It replaces the phalanx.
General InformationEdit
- Heavy Legions can damage buildings very easy and quickly. They are also good against cavalry.
- Heavy Legions would attack the closest building on front of them but when attacked by an enemy troop; will fight back.
- Heavy Legions can get destroyed easily by Splash Damage Structures such as catapults.
- Heavy Legions are weak against other infantry.
- As a Roman unique unit, Heavy Legions has 25% more health than the standard phalanxes they replace.
Historical DescriptionEdit
"After Marius' reforms, all legionaries received the same equipment, regardless of wealth or class. They carried a javelin known as a 'pilum,' which when thrown was expected to get stuck in the enemy shield and render it useless rather than to kill the enemy soldier (though that would be okay too, presumably)."
The Heavy Legion appears to be wearing a set of Lorica Segmentata, or segmented plate armor. He is also carrying a spear or Pilum and a Scutum (Shield).
Attacking StrategiesEdit
- If used in large groups; Heavy Legions can be devastating and can destroy a base easily; if not in heavy fire.
- Catapults are devastating against Heavy Legions and can kill a group of them in a few hits if in the range of the impact. Spread your Heavy Legions around so the catapult would have to hit each Heavy Legion to kill it and that its impact would not affect other Heavy Legions as well or deploy a few heavy cavalry to destroy it.
- Use ranged infantry such as archers to support Heavy Legions.
- Heavy Legions can be used as a distraction for many defenses and can help protect ranged infantry such as archers from heavy fire from defenses.
Defensive Strategies Edit
Trivia Edit
- Historically, the main weapon used by roman legionnaires was a sword (gladius) rather than a spear. They did carry a pilum into battle, however this was a javelin, rather than the spear this troops use in the game.

Does window dressing your account improve your chance of bond success?
Is it possible to temporarily "window dress" your bank account for just three months prior to bond application and successfully get the bank loan? Stealthy Wealth, a blog site run by an embedded software engineer with degrees in electronic engineering and IT, who is on a mission to retire by the age of 45, tried just this and the results were surprising.
I have been in the very fortunate position to have made two successful home loan applications in my recent past. (I think I have to plant around five trees to make up for the amount of paper consumed as a direct result of this). So I guess I am what you may call "somewhat experienced" – an orange belt in home loan application karate?
The two applications have taught me a lot, and so I thought I would share some war stories and lessons learned while getting beat up by the banks (they are all black belt you know).
Obviously there are the usual criteria you need to meet before a bank will grant you a home loan. These are put in place to protect idiots from themselves, but also to protect the bank from any idiots that may work for them – remember mankind keeps making things idiot proof, and the universe keeps making better idiots. So far the universe is winning.
This post assumes that you have done a proper Buy versus Rent analysis and, after considering all the factors, you have determined that buying is the best decision for you. This post also assumes that you have met the "minimum" requirements of loan repayment versus disposable income etc. (To check your eligibility, there are many tools and calculators online you can use, such as this one). Consider this post the "higher grade" class 🙂
The problem is, meeting these minimum requirements is sometimes not enough, and the banks usually have some more secret hoops they want you to jump through – except they don't tell you what the hoops look like or where to find them. Anyways, here are some tips to improve your chances for success.
Loyal client, loyal bank?
Once upon a time Stealthy had a bank account with Absa. His dad had opened it for him when he was still in high school. He remembered it well….No screw it, writing in third person is a terrible idea!
I remember it well. It was given to me as part of my Christmas present, and my dad had deposited R50 into the account (that was worth something back then). I immediately memorised the account number in preparation for all the people I would need to give it to (no-one is a person too!).
I remember walking once a day for the next week or so (December holidays, lots of time) and drawing a mini statement, all adult-like, to see the R50 balance. On the 1st of January I got up extra early and went to check the balance to make sure that my 13 odd cents of interest had been paid – and it had! Wow, my money was working for me!
Anyways, fast forward around 15 years and the Absa account had been upgraded first to a student account and then, finally, to a very adult, monthly fee-sucking, cheque account.
In addition to this, and you are never ever allowed to repeat this (and it is also the last time you will hear it from me) I had some unit trusts with Absa as well … *cold shiver*
So what was the purpose of me having those "products I will not speak of" with Absa? Well, my then-girlfriend, now-wife, and I were getting pretty serious by this point, and so we wanted to buy a house together (well technically an apartment). So I had been diligently making a debit order payment to a few Absa "products I will not speak of" every month in order to save up for the deposit and transfer costs we would need to pay.
My wife and I scouted around and made an offer for an apartment we really liked. The offer was accepted, and it was now bond application time – that fun time where you get to grovel and try prove you are worthy to the banks and hope they show you some mercy (and some money).
Now I had done a number of rough calculations, and based on our incomes and the slightly more than 10% deposit we had, I was fairly confident we would get a bond.
The estate agent gave us a bond originator's details, but in parallel I thought I would also make an application at Absa directly since they were my primary bank. So off goes the two trees worth of forms, which included the usuals and three months' bank statements.
After being with Absa for around 15 years and having multiple Absa products, I guess I was what you would call "a loyal Absa customer to which they could cross sell their other products to". So naturally they would jump at the opportunity to add a home loan to my basket of Absa products. Well Absa came back a few days later with a response…DENIED!
Do they have blinkers on?
Naturally I ask for an explanation – how could they be so mean to little old loyal me? I am told, that after checking the three months' bank statements, there is not enough free cash (I think their term is discretionary income) every month, and there is too much money leaving the account.
So I say, well, obviously there is money leaving the account – all of it is voluntary (i.e. discretionary) debit orders going into Absa "products I will not speak of" – how else was I supposed to save for our deposit? Also since they are all your products, you can check your system and see they have since been stopped as I know there is a home loan commitment coming, and so that money is now clearly available?
I was again told, no, sorry for you, you suck – ok thanks bye.
(I was a little pissed off and I actually even recall phoning in to 702 a few weeks later when they were having a bond application discussion to vent a little. And since I am ranting about it again, I guess I am still harbouring a little…maybe I should go smash some ABSA ATMs glass bottles or something.)
But moving swiftly along, in stepped Nedbank with an offer, as well as FNB, as a result of the bond originator's good work.
FNB were particularly kind because they factored in my engineering qualification and gave us a rate of 0.5% below prime. It's funny how these banks were able to recognise voluntary debit orders, but the very bank that the debit orders were going to could not. Anyways…we signed with FNB.
The bank's loss
Now there is a lesson in all of this somewhere, but firstly let me have the last laugh at Absa. You see, their little act of meanness resulted in me:
- Cancelling all my "products I will not speak of" with them
- Cancelling my cheque account with them
- Signing a cheque account with FNB (to get the access bond facility)
- Signing a home loan with FNB
- Signing a second home loan with FNB when we bought Stealthville
And points 1-5 above will result in Absa losing out on probably close to R1m over my lifetime. Although in the greater scheme of things, that's probably small change to them.
Anyways, the main lesson here (and something that we did when we made our second home loan application) is this:
Improve your home loan application chances of success by "window dressing" your bank account.
Three months before application day
So here is what we did for the three months leading up to our bond application last year:
- Cancel all voluntary debit orders (this unfortunately included our TFSA contributions for those three months)
- Try minimise all spending to reduce what the banks view as "leaving your account"
- Allow your balance to steadily grow over the three months (which will happen after you do 1 and 2 above, and can also be used to increase your deposit amount and/or cover all the fees that come with buying a property)
The bank sees your bulging account balance on your three months bank statements, and thinks "well, they have a lot of money left over each month, they're awesome, let's direct all that extra money to us".
Show the banks you are worthy of that loan
And so ends our story, Little Red Riding Hood Absa bank never lived happily ever after.
This tactic of window dressing our bank accounts leading up to our second bond application resulted in two banks approving us for the bond. The rates were the same, so we bargained with FNB and they dropped theirs by 0.05% (every bit helps…).
The usuals
Then of course there are the usual tips for improving your chances of home loan success. I am sure you have come across these before, but it is probably worth repeating here.
We managed to scrape together a more than 10% deposit in both applications, and I do believe that this helped. I hear it is possible to get a 100% bond, but I think there is a significant risk that you may not get approved, so I wouldn't recommend it. Also it must be asked – if you cannot commit to saving a 10% deposit, are you really ready for the commitment (both financial and otherwise) of owning a house?
It is also a good idea to know your monthly expenses before you apply. The bank is going to ask you for this, and it is not a good idea to fudge the numbers because they will check your bank statements (one of the trees you need to send with your application) and catch you with your pants down (rumour has it the size of your bond may be directly proportional… :)).
What I found most useful with this part of the application is it makes you realise if you honestly can afford the place or not – something only you yourself will truly know. Don't forget to factor in the new costs that will come along with owning a house – levies, rates and taxes, water, electricity, maintenance etc. Get a good idea of what these will be before putting in an offer.
Don't overpay
Seems obvious, but sometimes emotion can get the better of you, or sometimes it is just a bad deal. Either way if the bank thinks you are overpaying they will decline your application. To be honest I haven't heard of this happening as most buyers should have a good idea of what the price should be, but just something to keep in mind.
Even more recommendations
Something that you may want to do is make use of bond originators. Again this is something that you hear quite often, but in my experience it really does help.
At the least it will save you a ton of paperwork – usually each bank has their own forms asking you for pretty much the same information, but you need to fill it out separately for each bank. At least with the bond originators you get one document pack to fill out and off it goes to all the banks.
Having said that, I also suggest applying at your primary bank in parallel. I did that with both applications. In the first application it was a waste of time, but in the second one it was well worth it – we scored ourselves a below prime interest rate. Having said that we had a bit of bargaining power because another bank also offered us a loan – which brings me to my next point: if you get two banks offering you a loan, don't be scared to try negotiate a better deal. Remember that even a tiny interest rate saving over the 240 months can be quite significant.
Something else to consider is buying for less than R900,000. As at the time of writing, if you buy for less than that, then you do not pay any transfer duty. Having to pay transfer duty can detract from the size of the deposit you can put down, and thereby decrease your chances of getting a home loan – so you will be better off avoiding this cost.
Anyways that's my R2 million 2c on home loan applications – I am sure there are lots of other tips, tricks and tales of woe. If you got any, then feel free to rant away in the comment section below.

How to Peel A Pomelo
My husband Bob called eating pomelo a "clean and neat" experience. Unlike juicy orange or grapefruit, if you peel the pomelo the right way, their individual sacs stay firm and intact as shown in my video.
Pomelo, a relative of the grapefruit, originated in Malaysia. It is an ancient fruit that has been discovered by countless foreign travelers who took it to many far corners of the globe. Within the last decade, it was once again discovered and "introduced" to American consumers as the latest exotic fruit from Southeast Asia.
My Papa loved pomelo while I was growing up in Thailand. During the cool season, when pomelo, both white and pink varieties, were at their best, Papa would buy several. Our servant would peel them and arrange it neatly on a plate. She would save the thick aromatic rinds for Mama who hung them on the clothes line on our balcony to dry. She used these to brew tea to ease coughing spells.
Thai people eat pomelo as a snack with a mixture of salt, sugar and chili. They also make a wonderful salad with it. Yum (salad) Som-Oh (pomelo) is made with mounds of individually separated pomelo sacs, grilled pork, grilled shrimp, thin threads of kaffir lime leaf, roasted coconut match sticks and a rich dressing made with roasted chili paste and fresh coconut cream. Check out the recipe in my book, Cracking the Coconut, page 268.
On the other hand, you can create your own version of salad using pomelo. For example, mix chunks of pomelo with chunks of grilled beets, arugula, roasted almond slivers and a light vinaigrette dressing. Or, simply mix it with an ordinary green salad. It's sweet and slightly tangy taste will turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
