Comments about Audio-Technica® Classic Retro-Style Headphones (White):
I have tried many AT headphones at the shop. Wanted to buy the ES55 model but that was a bit uncomfortable and sound too dynamic for my ears. Then I have tried many others. And finally seen this model with its very stylish retro white-brown leather combination. First impression was that it is very comfortable. Second was the sound quality. Nothing extreme but very clear and detailed sound with all type of music. Here at home tried with my iPod, iPhone and Hi-Fi and have to say it does its job with elegance and staying cool. I hope the sliding mechanism will work without problem. It is easier to find the right position of the earphones with other type mechanisms but once you fixed it will fit perfectly on your ears. However it is a portable model it is a bit worse to pack and take with yourself anywhere as it is not foldable. I also missed a protective pouch from the original pack. But it is great natural sound is the best what compensates all thatI missed.

Highly emotional - yes, but it certainly not a typical Hollywood or Bollywood movie. All Hollywood movies end with a happy ending, in a way it is an entertainment for US audience; and all Bollywood movies have too many dances, but not this one, in that way it is not an Indian movie.

My Name is Khan (or MNIK as Indians refer to it) is a Hindi film about an Indian Muslim with Asperger's syndrome who lives in San Francisco. Its improbability is the signature of the Hindi film industry, lately called Bollywood, which produces emotional melodramas that MUST end well. For millions of Indians who deal with gritty reality ( in India) on a daily basis, a good film is one that entertains, not depresses.
For those who believe this to be a ripoff of Slumdog Millionaire, that well made though overrated movie followed a plot which is fairly common in Bollywood in its (lack of)plausibility and in its determination to end on a high note, hence the similarities. There have been many movies in India dealing with poverty that had better storylines ( and actors that did not speak with British accents) but were not recognized, perhaps because, sans a Brit director, their pedigree was suspect.
But I digress. My Name is Khan is implausible and does stray from realistic depictions of Georgia and FEMA (absent)but that is part of the Bollywood package. How many Hollywood entertainers capture developing world countries accurately? And how realistic are the tear-jerker dysfunctional family reunions that Hollywood plagues us with every Thanksgiving and Christmas?
In the end, MNIK does portray very accurately the reality of Muslims in America, but also (perhaps unwittingly) how the world views America. Its a feel-good movie and the brain should take a rest. If you went to see a docudrama, don't go to Bollywood - go to the arthouse circuit that brings you Bend it Like Beckham.

For people who have not seen the film, I recommend it -- it is close to a remake of Forrest Gump, the remake well done as a Bollywood drama (where over the top, like in Forrest Gump, is the prevailing style).
Kahn and Johar frame the religious wars the way they (and many of us) see them: religion as competing tribes of faith affiliation, versus religion as a common struggle to find and practice love of God shared across different faiths worldwide. The film properly acknowledges that each faith tradition has feet in both camps.
Look for a moment when one of the sacramental acts of the Hajj happens. It is wonderful.

Terrible acting. Disjointed story-line. A lame attempt to replicate Slum-dog Millionaire. The scenes that are supposed to be in Georgia (the State) look like they were shot in Costa Rica! Do not waste your money or time. Pitiful!

I've read the very charitable NYT review and I commend the reviewer for her charity and patience. For the rest of the public, if you're looking for entertainment of any sort - yes, even the serious pedantic sort - please do yourself a favor and skip the movie. If you do go, please be prepared to be exasperated by what the reviewer has kindly described as an 'improbable detour'. In seeking to fill the 3+ hours of the movie's run time, the director has succeeded only in portraying his own intellectual and artistic bankruptcy. The movie attempts a serious theme, but that's where it ends. Melodrama takes over making it impossible to focus on anything other than the director's poor storytelling skills. Mr. Khan has not done himself any credit by participating as the protagonist in a very poorly made movie.

I saw the movie and it was pretty good, with some exceptional acting by Shah Rukh Khan, who carries the movie.
Some of the critical commentators here are totally missing the point by bringing up Pakistan and Arab countries. Totally bizarre comments. What in the world are you guys smoking?
If you don't like the movie; you don't like the movie. That is just fine, but you don't have to launch into a diatribe about Muslims. What a world!

I would have been more troubled by the sorts of inconsistencies others mentioned if I hadn't heard SRK's interview on Morning Edition on Feb. 11. He discussed the concept of "fantasies, but realistic fantasies". Okay, his hero is improbably heroic. He is supposed to be. That is the point. The movie is a fantasy, and so time and location need not be consistent.
SRK said in the interview that "America is our Pandora". As someone knowledgeable about US geography, it threw me that all roads seem to lead through the Joshua Tree National Park, but I am reminded that this is a fantasy geography. America is big and wondrous and beautiful. It is populated by people who are capable of matching that landscape, but fall far short because they break faith with their belief in themselves and others.
I also had to suspend my sense of both physical and social geography when it came to the apparently exclusively African American Georgia town of Wilhelmina. At first, I was very off-put by the over-broad stereotypes. I had to imagine, though, what would a small, poor, hurricane-ravaged village look like to someone in rural India?
"My Name is Khan" is a hero fantasy. The hero takes the biggest risk that any human being can take: he risks love. As a true hero, he pays the price for love, and he loves anyway. Finally, I was forced to ask myself, what is so fantastic about love?
My wife told me that taking her to this movie on Valentine's day was the most romantic Valentine of her life. And my wife does not lie to me.

I feel terrible at having shelled out $10 to this travesty. Continuing a decades old trend of Bollywood celebrating Islam above all else this movie takes the crown. I'd love for SRK or Mr. Johar to tell the story of non muslims living in almost any muslim majority country-they'd find pathos and tragedy there enough to keep them busy for the rest of their lives. But no they must hop aboard the poor "woe is me" victimized muslim bandwagon.

Always interesting to see the way foreign films view the United States. This movie works incredibly well. Something of a Bollywood version of Forrest Gump. Granted, you do need to suspend disbelief. How, for instance, did he get into the flood zone? If he's going from San Francisco to DC, why was he in Georgia? But, all in all this is a very effective film. Shahrukh Kahn plays his role well. And I found it particularily interesting to see how an Indian filmmaker dealt with the election of Barack Obama.

There are tons of above average IQ folks unlike SRK and his buddy Karan Johar in India who could have made a better movie, especially with a better theme and message. The retarded Brit director of Slumdog Millionaire portrayed a repressive Hindu majority beating up Muslims, which is definitely far from truth. Note that the division of India and birth of Pakistan was fostered back then by the devious Brits. Regardless of the mess the Brits left behind, case in point is there are a large number of successful Muslim film stars in Bollywood, as compared to none in Hollywood. The most deplorable aspect of this movie is that the hero of this movie was detained at a US airport for terrorist screening recently. What a shame~! India has been and remains very tolerant unlike Pakistan which has been the black hole of terrorism. Muslims are not terrorists but a vast majority of terrorists are Muslims. Anyone with an average IQ knows that and there is no case for a silly Muslim apologetics movie. That said, instead of faking the false bravado of being some Muslim or Khan, a better theme would be SRK's own story i.e. how a Hindu majority tolerant democracy like India appreciates Muslims in its top film industry cadres. A better than average IQ film producer would go on to make one on the theme of promoting friendly relations between India and Pakistan or even a futuristic re-merger, as there is truly a case for common defense and prosperity.
For kicks, I hope that this movie will have Arabic subtitles "I am not a Muslim but I am not an infidel" before it is exported to the so-called "Muslim World". Perhaps that will make everyone begin to "think", and that's more important then anything else in the South-Asian subcontinent.

I'VE always tagged Shah Rukh Khan as a ham actor due to his past cinematic roles. He is no ham in My Name Is Khan but is believably such a man with Asperger's Syndrome. This is Shah Rukh's best film performance of his career so far.
On a lighter note, Americans will learn to pronounce the word "Khan" properly. Finally. As for the film, it's a good story and entertains as well. What more can one ask for at the cinema today? I haven't watched Avatar because it's all about CGI, like where's the story? Between My Name Is Khan and Avatar, I pick the former.

I somewhat agree with the above review "A severe cas of Narcissism!!!", but also think that's biased. Shahrukh did everything he could to promote this movie, especially to Pakistani and Middle East audience. But the reviewer should also keep in mind, Shahrukh is not Brad Pitt and this is a Bollywood movie. So, if he wants to capture a new market, he had no choice but to promote in innovative ways. There were too many coincidences favoring his promotion for this movie, and I don't see anything unfair, as ultimately it's a product to make business.
Regarding the movie, it's an intelligent fusion to capture more western audiance, however still keeping enough Indians interested. Having no real number in a Karan Johar movie, is itself a huge achievement by his standard. His trademark has been making romantic, blasphemous, Indian rooted movies, mostly dwelling in relationship dilemmas. This was quite a departure from his niche.From Bollywood perspective, the movie is unprecedented. America was never portrayed in a realistic fashion before, instead have always been showcased for ostentatiousness and popular numbers. If you go a level above, in order to compete with Hollywood movies, Karan Johar could have done some adjustments. For e.g. Khan helping out Mama jenny and co. in Hurricane affected Georgia town, all on his own, is unacceptable. There is no explanation why Sharukh wanders around on his way to meet the President. Greyhound usually have connecting buses as well. If he wanted to visit a town just for the sake of it, that should have been mentioned in one of the many conversations with the strangers. An Asperger affected person who cannot display his emotion in public, would burst out at the terrorist recruiter - could have screened in a better way. So Karan Johar might have missed out gauging the intellectuality of mature audience in a place or two, but who doesn't? In so many Hollywood movies, including casts like Dicaprio, Brad Pitt or Matt Damon, the east, the africa and so many 'foreign' places are portrayed to adjust the taste of American audiance, which in many cases are hilarious and often derogatory. So I don't mind too much that Karan Johar erred in a few places in his first attempt to reach out non-Indian (and probably non-Muslim) global audience. There are many similarities with Forest Gump, still the movie stands out on its own. Overall his attempt is acceptable to me as a global audience of movie and he excels if I consider Bollywood alone. In terms of fusion, he does pretty well too, maybe he will correct his errors next time.
Some people complain about politicising the regions through movies. I think that's quite appropriate. I am a believer that movie should always provoke thoughts and in doing that if it makes some money, good for the producer. Like Hollywood is obsessed with war movies, which usually are sure hot in box office, same is in Bollywood with romantic movies with nice songs and first stream actors. Now it's time both should come out of its shell to make more movies like a "Time to Kill" or "My name is Khan".

I think the message that MNIK tried to get across will be applauded by those who have undergone similar situations as Rizvan Khan. I know people in my friend circle and family, who have undergone excessive or unnecessary scrutiny at airports and other places because of their religious faith. Admit it or not, it is there. And many Muslims would be able to relate with what MNIK tried to tell.
A terrorist does not have a religion because no religion promotes or encourages the killing of innocent people. And there are extremists in all religious faiths, which our media hardly ever uphold. Such profiling only pushes some 1.5 billion Muslims around the world into an unwanted and unnecessary confrontation with the non-Muslims. In the movie Kajol says in one scene that she should not have changed her son's name and that it was the name "Khan" that got him killed. It might sound uncanny and fictitious to many but I know people, who also believe that they face discrimination because of their Muslim names. I would say that a movie like MNIK should have been made a long time ago.

Phenomenal is the right word for the film...its one of the best movies ever made. The message is loud and clear "there are only 2 types of people in world-good and bad". Its a movie that unites people from different caste, religion and countries. A movie for Humanity..it should go a long way in bringing about a change in world if properly promoted in teh western audience!! Shahrukh Khan is fabulous in the portrayal of Rizvan suffering from Aspergers...a Must watch, feel the change!!

My name is Hindu (& I am not an Infidel)
The plane landed on time I rushed to the separate immigration queue for nationals and as I neared the immigration officer, his smile, courtesy and a sense of respect that he seemed to place on me warmed me sufficiently that my memories went a bit back.
My memory shifted to an earlier landing I did a few months ago in the Airport of the country where I had been working for the past two years and to whose economy I did contribute in my own way. The immigration official first saw my name and promptly searched my luggage. He did find the small Photograph of Lord Krishna, whose devotee I am, and my palm sized Bagwat Gita, which I used to read every day. I immediately cursed my dear wife who had inserted this favorite additional piece of luggage inspite of telling her not to do. The bearded official mouthed some obscene words about the picture and showed it to some of his colleagues before destroying it in front of my eyes. The Baghwat Gita ended up in the dustbin, after being hand shredded sufficiently.
For a moment I remember thinking about my Home and the beautiful Temple that I used to visit every month and the kind of freedom I enjoyed there to follow my beliefs. Well, I thought, what to do, just a couple of years more and I am done and will be back to Home. Just blame it on sub-prime.
Being a Hindu and that too a practicing one, I have known colleagues getting arrested for trying to eat in public during certain days in this host country. One other Hindu and his family got deported, after getting arrested, for having a small shrine inside their house. When heavy booted and bearded men walked inside their houses and destroyed the images of their "gods" none protested! When the friend said that he was a Hindu, the bearded men replied they knew and that why they are doing this!
When the Hindu friend tried to make this an issue by sending messages to the embassy and to the press back in Home, he was replied back suitably; let's not blow this and make this communal! He still tried to rake this issue after he landed in Mumbai, India but was branded a communal fundamentalist by the press. The last time I heard about him was when his close relative died in a terrorist attack in Mumbai. He said to me that he is going to keep quiet as most of the dead were Hindus and whenever Hindus die, its generally classified as secular killings, quite acceptable and understandable by the media. Its just that some misguided young boys tried to correct the mistake done by Hindu-fundamentalists and it so happened that a few died in the cross fire. After he said this, I remember being too shocked and wondered where that country was going.
My memories stopped as I completed the immigration formalities and slowly walked out. Relieved that I am back to in my Home and that I was now free to worship whom I wanted and free from bombings by terrorist who could not be even branded a terrorist for the fear of displeasing some one, I searched for my wife.
There she was running towards me. She hugged me and said, "thank God the blizzards have stopped and the snow is down, yet its still cold and so welcome back to Ice Box Washington"………
Home sweet Home…….
Let's have Mr. Karan Johar, the director of the grotesquely twisted, half truth laden, Muslim appeasing nonsense, called "My Name is Khan", develop the above small story of mine into a full fledged movie and see how it fits into the social justice frame work of his.
Usually, it's the Hindus that are the target of such mindless Muslim appeasers who in India are called as intellectuals. Terrible as it is, the Hindus are the ones that will be branded as the starting point for the crimes being committed by motivated Muslim terrorists when ever bombs go out in India.
Not being content in making the Hindus alone as the culprits for the faults of Muslims, in this trash of a movie, our Mr. Karan Johar pull USA in as a villain to make Muslims look more purer than ever.
Fortunately, USA still has not become India inspite of the hundreds of misguided liberals attacking Mr. Tunku Varadarajan when he said that Nidal Hassan just went Muslim when he did what he did.
It's just that here Mr. Karan Johar just went Dhimmi!!!!
(The above is just a story, but is based on the facts of how any religious believer, immaterial of his origin, gets treated in USA when compared to the kind of treatment that he gets from Muslims, anywhere in the world and Karan Johars and his ilk wouldn't worry about such blatant discrimination done by most of the Muslims in the world)

Loved it! Made my cry a little, laugh a little and most importantly had a positive portrayal of Muslims, how awesome is that

I am glad this film is playing in at least one big theater in New York City. Bollywood movies have great music, great stories, excellent production values, and there really isn't a corollary genre out of Hollywood. These movies are extremely entertaining and generally audio and visual wonders. MNIK courageously bites off some major social issues and political hot-potatoes. It is always fascinating to me to see my country and culture through completely different eyes.

Watched MINK, direction, srk and kajol, quite well. A average movie. But I don't get the messages which this movie wants to tell us. Simply because it is difficult to say that this guy is is xyz and he is not a terrorist. Because terrorist don't say that he is xyz and he is a terrorist! You will only know when you will become victim of terrorism. Who want to take this risk. I understood that this movie asking us to take this risk and believe that guy in front of you is a good person. But once you know that some deadly bad guys are around you, common man still think twice whether he is terrorist or not. This is the simple fact. On this point, story of MINK completely failed.

Vacuum Cleaner Bags
Vacuum cleaning systems that offer the best cleaning ability – is that what you are seeking? It's also likely that you believe that cleaning ability is related to power or suction. Actually, it's not. While there's no single factor that determines the cleaning ability of the vacuum cleaner you use, understanding how vacuums work and how you can help maintain your vacuum cleaner to perform its best is important. Changing your vacuum cleaner bag is an important step in maintaining the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner. While most vacuum cleaners come with an indicator to help you determine when your cleaner's dust bag needs to be changed, you can perform a check yourself to see if it is over 50% full as that's when you need to replace it. Don't wait until the dust bag in your vacuum cleaner is completely full as it can reduce the suction and cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system. If you use your vacuum cleaner frequently, it is recommended that you change vacuum cleaner bags once a month, especially if you are cleaning a large area over 2000 square feet or if your pet sheds a lot.
What you need the most when you are considering vacuum cleaner bag replacement is a bag that is well-matched with the model of your vacuum cleaning system. You can find original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or replacement type bags online. While both serve the purpose, that is enhancing the cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system and providing you an easy way to get rid of all the dirt that you vacuum cleaner collects, you can choose one according to your budget and cleaning needs. At GoVacuum, we have got a vast range of vacuum cleaner bags from the biggest and the best brands around. You'll find them here at great prices and shipping offers. We are the vacuum cleaning system experts and can recommend the right bag for your existing system all while staying within your budget.

Stan Bowman
Rank #37
Plus 30
Minus 0
Value +30
Managing Experience:
Chicago Blackhawks, 2009-present
Central Division Title, 2009-2010
Playoff Appearances: 2010-2012
Stanley Cup Finals Appearance: 2010
Stanley Cup Victory: 2010
Stan Bowman is a young GM in a hurry. In his first season as an NHL GM he helped end the Chicago Blackhawks 49 year Stanley Cup drought and, in so doing, entered the top fifty ranks according to my rating system.
Since then he has added to his success. Although the Blackhawks have not repeated as Stanley Cup champions they have remained competitive albeit in a rebuilding mode after Bowman had to purge the team's ranks in order to get under the salary cap after winning the 2010 Stanley Cup.
According to my rating system, Bowman ranks 12th in career value among all active NHL GMs (between Ottawa's Bryan Murray and Buffalo's Darcy Regier) and, even more interestingly, he ranks 4th (between Pittsburgh's Ray Shero and San Jose's Doug Wilson) in Average Season Rating.
Furthermore by my calculations Bowman is presently the third best GM of the 2010s and is the tenth best GM of the 21st century (between Brian Burke and Pierre Lacroix).
Stan Bowman has the DNA for greatness. He is the third child of hockey coaching immortal Scotty Bowman—the greatest NHL coach of all time. He got his name Stanley because he was born in 1973—the year of his father's first Stanley Cup win.
He spent most of his childhood growing up in the greater Buffalo area (when his father was head coach and GM of the Buffalo Sabres). He attended the University of Notre Dame and graduated there in 1995 but it wasn't until 2001 when Stanley Bowman sought a career in the hockey world when he joined the Chicago Blackhawks as a special assistant to General Manager Mike Smith.
Bowman's early work with the Hawks involved him dealing with the team's budget (one of Bowman's degrees from Notre Dame is in finance) and tracking player movement and evaluation.
It didn't take long for Mike Smith, Bob Pulford, and later Dale Tallon to see Bowman's potential.
By 2005 he was promoted to Director of Hockey Operations and two years later he became Assistant General Manager to Dale Tallon.
In 2009 Dale Tallon lost out in an internal power struggle within the Blackhawks organization and was removed as general manager thus clearing the way for Stan Bowman to ascend to the job.
When the Chicago Blackhawks won the 2010 Stanley Cup, Scotty Bowman became the youngest NHL general manager to win the Stanley Cup. Bowman managed the team but it was Dale Tallon who built the 2010 Stanley Cup champions. When Bowman took over the pieces were already in place and the head coach (Joel Quenneville) needed to lead the team was there too.
The team Dale Tallon put together did not remain so for very long. The Blackhawks faced serious salary cap issues; what followed can be described as a blood purge to free up cap space. Bowman unloaded a good portion of the Hawks front line strength in three major trades: two to Atlanta and one to Toronto.
Even more significantly the Hawks lost goaltender Antti Niemi to San Jose thus leaving a weakness between the pipes that has not yet been adequately filled (Corey Crawford has been slow in developing as an NHL goalie).
Since then the Hawks have remained competitive but have suffered two consecutive first round losses in the playoffs. Also the Blackhawks first round draft picks chosen by Stan Bowman have not yielded instant dividends for the team like Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane did under Dale Tallon.
The question that remains is this: can Stan Bowman emerge as a team builder in his own right? Does Bowman have the inner vision to handpick future Stanley Cup champion talent and retain it or will he rest forever on the laurels of 2010?
For Stan Bowman the 2012/13 NHL season is a test to see if the Hawks can regain primacy in the Central Division and recapture the playoff magic that was 2010.
The Hawks are a young, raw team with enormous potential and upside. The challenge for Stan Bowman is whether he can harness it and focus it and get it to produce big time?
(My next column will feature Ottawa Senators GM Bryan Murray.)

Lawmakers work on higher gas taxMarch 10,2013MONTPELIER — A Vermont House committee is soon expected to finish a gasoline tax increase that would take effect over the next two years.
The House Transportation Committee is expected to approve a 2 percent sales tax on gasoline that would take effect in June. In July of 2014, the sales tax would go up another 2 cents on a dollar, to 4 percent.
Meanwhile, in fiscal 2015, the cents-per-gallon tax would drop by nearly 6 cents from its current level of 19 cents per gallon. The upshot would be nearly $26 million more in gasoline taxes collected by the state.
Lawmakers have been looking for ways to shore up transportation revenues. Declining sales of gasoline have cut into revenues from gasoline taxes that historically have been raised mainly on a per-gallon basis.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryBENNINGTON — A local man was killed in a one-car accident Saturday.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/06/14 -- Global enterprise security leader Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT) and local entrepreneur David Demers, CEO of Westport Innovations (TSX: WPT) were named to top honours as Company of the Year and Person of the Year respectively at the 2014 Technology Impact Awards (TIAs) hosted by the BC Technology Industry Association (BCTIA).
Fortinet, founded in 2000, is a worldwide provider of network security appliances and a market leader in Unified Threat Management (UTM). Fortinet generated $615m revenue and 15% year-over-year growth in 2013. Fortinet's workforce includes a research and development team of 500 developers and engineers in Burnaby, B.C., and a worldwide workforce of 2,400 employees. Accepting the award on behalf of Fortinet was Michael Anderson, Vice President, Services.
Starting with a 5-person team in 1995, David Demers has led Westport Innovations to its position as a global cleantech leader, specializing in natural gas engines. Under Demers' leadership, Westport has grown to over 1,000 employees globally and has commercialized its technology through strong partnerships. By leveraging large industry players, Westport focuses its own efforts on research and development while partners provide the manufacturing and distribution networks necessary for scale. Demers has also stewarded growth by continually reinvesting cashflow from Westport's profitable businesses into more strategic and diverse long-term markets.
"Fortinet and Westport are both excellent examples of home grown, global success stories," stated BCTIA President and CEO, Bill Tam. "These companies have invested significantly in Research and Development, creating solutions that are global leaders in their respective fields, and are poised for continued growth in the years ahead," Tam added.

Futurama: Stairway to heaven2 Reviews
This is the only story of Futurama, I'll do. Anyway this is a 1-shot fanfic, and songfic. Add a bit more summary than in the chapter: I did one of "Class of the titans" and "6TEEN", too.
Saturday, June 23rd, 2007!
Disclaimer: I do not own Futurama
Couples: FryXLeela
Summary: This is the only story of Futurama, I'll do. Anyway this is a 1-shot fanfic, and songfic.
Leela was waiting for Fry to come and pick her up. As some music came from somewhere. It started playing an oldie song from the 20th century started playing:
"There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying the stairway to heaven."
Leela was singing quietly as it played. Fry arrived a bit late.
"Were you... late?" asked Leela, impatiently.
"Sorry, just wanted to buy you these tons of roses" Fry said, blushing.
"Aww that was sweet" said Leela, sighting. And they went on with thier date.
P.S: I know it was a bit short and stinky. Oh well. I won't do anymore stories of Futurama and that's final.

Olympus coach Matt Barnes noticed that his players were lacking. They looked a little slow. And being that the first round of any tournament is the most dangerous for a higher seed, he switched things up at halftime.
The energy Olympus generated in the second-half of a 51-37 win over Bonneville in Monday's Class 4A first-round win can be attributed to pressure defense, the willingness to get out and run and the reluctance to surrender offensive rebounds.
Speeding the game up erased much of Bonneville's chance at an upset. For the Titans, the more possessions they received, the better.
"We were hesitant to use the pressure because teams were breaking it too easily and scoring on us," Barnes said. "Today, we got some stops, we got some turnovers and it worked for us. That first-round game is always tough, be we're happy to get through it."
With the win, Olympus advances to Wednesday's quarterfinal round. The Titans received big games from Will Cannon and Parker Rawlings. Cannon had 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Rawlings also notched a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Nick Barney had 11 points for Olympus as well.
Twitter: @tonyaggieville
In summary
Olympus outscores Bonneville 19-8 in the third quarter.
The Titans force 12 Laker turnovers.
Olympus comes up with seven steals.

Q&A: Is it normal that my baby at 12 weeks has a very faint heart beat?
I am 12 weeks pregnant and the doctor could not hear the heart beat, so she did an ultrasound and saw the heart beat. Is that normal?
Hearing it loud or soft is not important, but just a matter of how well it's picked up. The rate is the important thing. As long as it's about 110 or greater at 12 weeks, that's normal.

I have attached it for those who can't seem to find it anywhere.
Starting in 10.4.10, Apple put in some security restrictions that made using utilities like isightcapture unusable to anyone but the console user. This limited the ability to remotely log into a system and capture video from an iSight camera through the command line. In addition, it stopped you from being able to setup a cron to run every so often because the isightcapture application was not run by the console user, but by root or crond. This broke the ability of people running their own little scripts running on a local machine.
Common errors:
FATAL: setting data channel failed - cam busy/not connected ?
open requires the user to be logged in at the console to launch applications.
It took some trial and error, but I finally managed a way to overcome this under Leopard 10.5.1 and I assume it will work under Tiger 10.4 was well. The method involves using Applescript. While you can run the isightcapture utility remotely via SSH it requires using the GUI side Applescript, not the command line side. This means that visual feedback will happen when the application is launched. The Applescript icon will show up in the dock, the application will move to the foreground and run then quit. It happens pretty quick and short of your dock expand and contracting you'd never know it was running.
For those setting up their own scripts on their own computer or managed computers for whatever purpose, this is probably not a problem. For those wishing to take snapshots secretly on remote machines, this won't help you out unless it's your computer and the screen saver is running or monitor is off. Granted, that is what Apple was doing when it started blocking access and while running the same script via osascript renders errors. In addition, it won't work if the user it is running under is not the active logged in user session.
I am sure there is something I have missed, but this should get things going again for most people.
Open Script Editor and type in:
Modify the code to your liking and setup above. Then save the script as an application to a location and name of your choice, but for this example I will use isightscript.app.Code:do shell script "/your/path/isightcapture imagename"
Open up Terminal and type "crontab -e" and hit return. This probably will bring up an empty listing, but whether it is empty or you have entries already, go to the end of any listings and on a new line type:
The above code will execute your script every minute 24/7. If you only wish to run it every hour on the hour:Code:* * * * * open /path/to/isightscript.app
Anyhow, standard crontab practice applies to entries. You can define certain time ranges, certain days of the week, etc.Code:0 * * * * open /path/to/isightscript.app
To try out your code without using crontab or if you are logged in remotely via SSH, you can just type "open /path/to/isightscript.app" in terminal and you should see the script load, it will take a picture and return.
Plus, since your using Applescript, you can do all sorts of fun things like sending an email of the output to you or uploading it to a remote web server. Imagine if you are away from your machine and you wanted to take a picture, you could send a email message with certain text to your account, when Mail.app sees this incoming email, based on a defined rule, it could launch this Applescript and take a picture then send the resulting image back to you. While I have not included the code to do all that above, you get the idea. Using Automator would get you on the right track.
I have attached it for those who can't seem to find it anywhere.
"This means that visual feedback will happen when the application is launched. The Applescript icon will show up in the dock, the application will move to the foreground and run then quit. It happens pretty quick and short of your dock expand and contracting you'd never know it was running."
You can get rid of the visual feedback by saving the applescript as an application bundle and editing the Info.plist inside of the package contents. Add the following lines with a text editor:
This will prevent your application from popping up on the dock when it runs.
I have setup the app and it works when I run it in the terminal but I cannot seem to get the cron to work. I have also tried launchd without success. Any ideas?
This did not work for me. Let me give a few details.
I am using the scripts from MacOSXHints to take a picture on wake from sleep and post to a web page.
This was working fine, but somewhere around the end of March this stopped working (perhaps when Apple issued an update?). The symptoms are that on wake from sleep, the light on my iSight goes on for a short while as it should, indicating it is taking a picture. But no picture is saved. When I use the Activity monitor, I see that the program iSightCapture is still running. It looks like it gets stuck after taking the picture. So, rather than not being able to access the iSight camera, it looks like something gets stuck after taking the picture.
I tried the work around from this article (I'm running Mac OS 10.4.11). I created the script application as directed, and when I double click on it, it works fine. But, when I put the path to the script application in my .wakeup file, I continue to get the same behavior - on wakeup, the camera light goes on for a short while, but the iSightCapture program never exits and no picture is saved.
By the way, one consequence of this problem is that Skype and other programs can not access the iSight program. The stuck iSightCapture program continues to hold exclusive access to the camera until I reboot the computer or kill the process. This is what originally led me to investigate the issue.
Thank you for the helpful information. I was adding support for sending pictures from my laptop to my server and was getting this error, only when the script ran by cron of course, which was really annoying. I had to implement the applescript solution, and unfortunately this requires a user to be logged into the computer for the script to work but I don't think there's a better solution. This was probably done very much on purpose by Apple and they may not even approve of this workaround. (so lets hope they don't find this thread or this work-around may get worked-around...)
It's been my experience that the "open" command runs under the context of whatever user is using Finder, (specifically whichever user is "frontmost" when fast user switching is in use) and that dictates what rights will be available to isightcapture, so be sure that wherever isightcapture is placing files is writable by all Finder users on your machine, even if your cron job is running as root.
I could've swore I had this working earlier under 10.5. I wonder if they neglected to get this security fix right in 10.5.0 or 10.5.1? But it certainly is affecting 10.5.2 here.
The plist hack to keep it out of the dock is another handy trick I'll have to remember. I suppose I can use that the other way too (remove it) to get things into the dock that like to run invisibly.
Background: in case anyone's wondering what it's used for here, my laptop is set to detect its IP address (WAN as well as LAN) once an hour and ssh it to my server if available. If a script is waiting on the server for it, it downloads and runs it.
I recently found isightcapture, and so added another cron job (that runs once a minute) to take a picture once a minute and scp it back to the server if a file exists, and so I can leave it a one liner command to touch that file to turn on the minutely picture capture. Or the script can do anything else necessary if my laptop is stolen.
How much you want to bet there's an undocumented way to turn on the isight without turning on the green light?
I'm running 10.4.11 and I haven't had any real problem running isightcapture from the console or remotely (via ssh). I have a little script that takes a pic every few seconds. I have it start when the computer boots. It does sometimes stick and give the error you mention but it appears to stem from a problem with running isightcapture while isightcapture is still running from another task.

Just curious if you had more information regarding waxes for leather finishing and protection? I want to create a black, waxed out (very matte, very rough) finish on my shoes/products and wondering how…
You seem informed.
raisedheels Says:
October 17th, 2012 at 6:51 am
Hi Myles, thanks for the comment. Starting in the 16th C., there is evidence for waxed leather boots and shoes, presumably where the grain of the leather is on the inside of the shoe, and the flesh side (well curried, of course) is on the outside, waxed with hot wax (probably beeswax) and rubbed down very well to give a smoother, but still matte, finish. If you don't have a copy of Garsault's 18th C. book, I can take a look and see what he says about waxed shoes/boots. The shoemaker's shop at Colonial Williamsburg (available on Facebook) might also have some insight.

New York, May 4, 2005 - For the millions of Americans who will visit London for the first time this summer, British Airways has created the world's first online "English to English" dictionary to ensure travellers can confidently ask for the location of the "loo" (restroom), the "lift" (elevator), the "blower" (telephone) or the "bin" (trash can). With this bit of local knowledge, Americans will be truly "sorted" and can look forward to quite smashing holidays in the UK.
The dictionary - available at www.ba.com/know -- will feature over 80 British words and translations and will be as much fun for the homesick ex-pat and the avid Anglophile as it will be for the first time London-bound traveller who needs to learn the idioms and favored slang of the Londoner's language.
"Nearly 1.5 billion people on the planet speak some version of English - but the version of English used in the UK does take a bit of getting used to," said Robin Hayes, executive vice president, British Airways, The Americas.
"Someone planning a London holiday could rent films like "The Full Monty," or "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" to try and get a handle on the nuances of British slang", he noted. "However, our online website is a 'cheeky' bit of fun that may be the easiest and best way to learn some of the uniquely British words and phrases people often bring home from a London vacation. Our intention is that each visitor to the web site can also share the fun with his or her friends and family."
Each morning, throughout the month of May, British Airways will serve up a new British word of the day at www.ba.com/know. Viewers will learn what the word means, how to properly use it and will be able to continue to 'spread the word' via a text message to friends' cell phones or email. Examples of these words include:
Once a traveller knows how to sound just like a British "bloke" or "bird," he or she needs the 'gen' (knowledge) on where to go and what to do while in London. British Airways' updated website offers customized and easy to download "insider" tips on the best, undiscovered London experiences… recommendations that allow travellers to experience London from a local's perspective, provided by those who really know London.
For example:
British Airways - which flies from 22 gateways in North America and every year brings millions of visitors to the UK- recommends travellers save money by purchasing hotel accommodations and sightseeing tickets in North America before arriving in Europe.
BA.com offers one-stop shopping with a variety of special packages geared to just about every budget and taste. The package deals permit visitors to choose their own options, whether hotels, car rentals or a range of sightseeing excursions. A big benefit is that consumers are protected by currency fluctuation, as British Airways is able to lock in the price by bulk purchasing several months in advance.
In combination with the new site, designed by New York's Agency.com, there will be a full outdoor advertising experience in New York City for the month of May. M&C Saatchi New York collaborated with Optimedia New York to create the outdoor campaign that positions the British words near a place associated with the word. For example, Shout - is to offer to buy someone a drink, will be placed on coasters in bars.

out-of-home "in situ," placement ads or screen shots are
