The company I went with is local and makes their own windows. They also install them themselves, which I like. They offer a lifetime guarentee (I'm sure only for defects). If any issues, I can just call them to correct. I haver 13 windows (some small, some a little larger) so they are about $500 each installed. This seems a little high but this includes labor and tax. From what friends have mentioned and from what I see online, this is about aveage for vinyl windows. I don't know if there is such thing as a "standard" replacement window... this company builds each one themselves based on actual measurements.I have 2 windows in my basement that are single pane. I'm sure that cold air was sinking into the window wells and just pouring in threw those windows.I think my utilities will stay about the same but I think the comfort level will improve. In the summer my electric bill is not more then $120 and usually $60-$80. In the winter my gas bill might go to $80 but is usually around $20. Of course it's normal that I have the AC at 78 in the summer and around 60 in the winter.The "program" guy that came in was "questioning" my electric bill being at $120. I guess that is because even using that number, his calculations showed it would take 20 years to pay for their cost. He told me he thought my bill was actually probably around $220. . I just could not see paying $25,000 for their "program". I did install CFL in most fixtures (went with a few hybrids), I'm working on replacing two doors and will also insulate the over hang of the first floor.
$500 a window is on the high side for normal replacement windows. I installed top of the line Harvey Acoustical windows for about that price. They should be in the $350-400 ballpark. That's out the door prices. Maybe there is some extra labor for the basement windows or something. I'd try to get them down another 10% if nothing else.--IF YOU FIND ANY MISTAKES IN MY WORK...Please consider that they are there for a purpose. I try to please everyone and there is always someone looking for mistakes!
I paid $500 per Pella windows (E-rated, argon filled, aluminum clad wood) installed so your quote is kinda high for local, vinyl.(ofcourse, I only had two rooms to remodel so YMMV)(Op) I dislike vinyl and don't recommend it unless you don't care to live there awhile..--Splat
As I understand, vinyl is pretty much the standard now. There is wood and fiberglass but fiberglass is more expensive and wood needs a lot of maintainence.
Recently when it was about 30 degrees outside I shot temps. The wall around the windows were 63 degrees. The windows themselves were 53 degrees and the aluminum frames were 45 degrees. This does not include the cold air leaking in openings as well. I think the new windows will actually make a big difference in my case.I went with all sliding windows, even in the basement as the R value should be the same. This way they also unlock from the tracks for easy cleaning.Thing that kills me is that it take "6-8 weeks from start to finish". The guy who came out a few days ago to do the final measurements tells me it would probably be around the end of Jan. before they would be installed. I'd have hoped it would have only been a couple more weeks at the most. But this gives me more time to knock out the nasty tile stools. After they install the windows I'll go in and replace the stools with wood ones.
Yea Winter is the worst time to do replacement windows since the lead time is normally double or triple the normal because of increased demand. I prefer to do replacements in the middle of Summer since no one is thinking about them so it moves fast.--IF YOU FIND ANY MISTAKES IN MY WORK...Please consider that they are there for a purpose.

Our house in So Central Texas has double-pane, gas-filled, aluminum single-hung windows throughout, and several of them have leaked such that they've fogged between panes. Naturally, these are in the fixed panes which would be a b*tch to get out owing to the fact that they are rocked-in (masonry-surrounded). A builder I talked to about these said that replacing them was a matter of actually cutting the old window out of its original metal frame (which of course was nailed to the 2x6 stud walls, then taped-around, and finally a rock wall was set around them).Does anyone know about this process? I'm curious as to how it's done, e.g. do they just use a recip saw, or maybe an angle grinder to cut-out the old windows, then how to insert/secure the new? Can't seem to find any discussions/pics of this online anywhere.I also want opinions on the value of gas-filled windows; every gas-filled window home I've ever lived in has suffered failures re: fogging eventually.
But I'm betting they want to wrap my water heater. Its in my basement. I hold my hand against it and it's not even warm (house is 63 degrees). I have a feeling that they are going to want to charge me an arm and a leg to wrap it... just to make money.
Vinyl replacement windows come mounted in a new jamb, and are simply tilted into the old frame and fastened in place.
I'm reading their website and they talk about their windows coming in multi chambered frames. Yup, watched the youtube video and these have frames. They over hang on the outside in order to provide a good seal with the siding.
Can you post the image of the window here? i wish to replace my old windows.
Yup, I'll do it this evening and post some photos of the stools that I have removed.
I am looking at replacing all the windows in my "new to me" house. They are aluminum-framed, single-pane, totally non-insulated and are original to the house (built in 1985). Half of them don't open, of the ones that do, half of those won't stay open. A few of them have cracked panes, and all of them let in a ton of outside noise and leak a bunch of air.There are 11 windows total. Three are average-size double-hung windows (2 bathrooms and laundry room). The windows in the rest of the house (all of the bedrooms, the living room, and dining room) are monster two and three light picture windows with sliders that are all 6-8 feet long. Some of those are up to 5-feet tall.The replacement windows are double-pane vinyl, argon gas-filled, and are hurricane/impact rated as is now required by code for my area.I got a price to do it all for $15k. I've had windows replaced before in my old house up north, but have no idea what to think of this price because practically all of these windows are just gigantic.--So put me on a highway, and show me a sign.And take it to the limit one more time...
I replaced all 22 of our wooden framed, single pane (contractor grade) windows on our 20yr old house using Window World 4000 series. I hated my old windows when I bought the house new, but couldn't afford replacement at the time. There is a VERY noticeable reduction in outside noise and drafts and the slight tint has a more luxurious appearance. There is no longer the hot spaces on the floors that my pets used to like. The cleaning and maintenance used to be a chore, but is a no brainer now (except that my wife make me do the big or high windows).Of all the stuff that I've upgraded in the house, the window upgrades have NEVER been in the possible 'regret' arena....now about those Goodman ACs I did 10yrs ago... that's 'nother thread ... AARRGGGG--That's "MISTER" Kafir to you.
Can you post the image of the window here? i wish to replace my old windows.
That's mud-set tile. Almost a lost art today. I had to dig out my shower faucet through the same stuff. I lost more blood than tile. When replaced the tile, I used plywood covered with tile board in just the area I cut out. If you are going to put in tile to replace it, you want to find a tile installer that knows how to set tile in mud. There are still a few around.Edit: BTW... that isn't standard cement. Its a special mix of sand and portland cement and I really don't know much about it other than you don't use Sacrete. I really doubt you are going to be able to use that existing bed of mud to replace the tiles too. You are probably going to have to remove it all and replace it or remove it all and replace it with layered tile board (much easier and more appropriate for a DIY project, I would guess).

I'm 35 and in need of some weight loss! I did pretty good in the summer time because it's light late and I could walk after the kids were taken care of and in bed. I have 2 very busy kids that have activities most every day of the week. I have to have my son to school at 6:30am and I don't get off work until 6pm. By the time I pick everyone up, feed them, and get them in bed, it's usually 9pm. By then it's too late to go out walking, plus it's starting to get cold out.
I need some ideas on activities I can do to lose some weight. If I'm not exercising, I tend to slack on the eating right too. I'm not very athletic, but I do have a treadmill, which gets sooooo boring!!!
Any ideas?

That's why they make coats and earmuffs. Also *workout videos, weights, jump rope (I do this indoors on rainy days), yoga classes, dance around like a maniac to some great music on an iPod...

Leslie Sansone walking tapes are really good for inside walking. There are different distances on the tapes fo you can do it as long as you want or as little as you want. I put it on music only because sometimes her constant talking drives me nuts! LOL Good Luck.

I totally agree. I use to walk during my 2-15 minutes breaks and 30 minutes during my lunch hour and I could tell a difference in two weeks. There are plenty of exercises you can do at home. Push-ups, sit-ups, high-knees, jumping jacks etc. If you want it, you will fit it in your busy schedule. Good Luck!

go to you tube
find some vids you like, there are plenty to choose from.
my favorites are :
butt bible,
Tiffany Rothe
Pop pilates
Jillian Michaels 30 day shred.
you can do all of those indoors, and dont need any equipment. (u can use jugs of milk / tins if you need weights.
i find with the days getting colder, doing even 10 min video gets me nice and warm , which saves on heating bills

Wow! Thanks for all the ideas! I can exercise during lunch when I don't have things to do. My job often requires a bunch of errand running during my lunch. I'll try some of the video ideas. I know a lot of my problem is will power too. Just so tired some times all I want to do is lay down. I'm just gonna have to fight through that and do something!
Thanks again all!!

I think you need to find new ways enjoy your treadmill. it seems to be ideal for your situation. I usually pop in a movie, as i need scenery. Sometimes, I run a movie, but crank up music. Set your treadmill time into 30 minute increments, that will help too.

Gym membership, exercise videos (free online or DVDs or ONDEMAND or Netflix), Zumba or pilates classes (not at the gym, just in a studio). My gym membership is $10/month (plus $50 year fee but...whatever). Try finding somewhere cheap. You don't need anything fancy...my gym sure isn't. YMCA's have gyms too!

If you have a busy life style you've already walked all day. Shock that butt and thighs and do some squats. You can do those in your living room. You can also do it with the kids. They will love it and feel like they are involved.

Find ways to exercise during your children's activities. For example I sometimes walk or run during my son's baseball practices....as a bonus, there are sometimes other parents willing to join me! Also, work in as many exercise opportunities in your workday as possible. I usually park a couple of blocks from the courthouse on days I am in court and always take the stairs wherever I am going. Finally, check with churches or malls in your areas. They sometimes are open extra hours to allow for walkers inside their buildings. uhm....I guess I would limit that to churches with gyms or family recreation centers. I wouldn't suggest parading around the sanctuary. :-)

I have the same issue -- I love outdoors, even in the winter, but I dont' live in town, so unless a full moon with snow on the ground, I have to stay indoors. I have a treadmill and elliptical ,,,but get bored, so found that if I do 10-15 minutes, then break to do some pilates -- it really helps to make it better.... late night is hard too, I am doing a plank challenge now -and as I go to each bedroom to tuck my kids in, I have them count while I plank - my oldest daughter who gets tucked in last, will do it with me. We did some other things as well together -- made it a lot more fun!
I used to have an hour lunch at my last job, and joined the gym- I was extremely busy and always worked through lunch -- but I forced myself to take that "break" and it did wonders for me! Unfortuneatley now I only have 30 minutes, and my job is a few miles out of town, so no longer an option!

I have trouble at this time exercising due to a back issue. I have to sit or lay down. If I walk on the treadmill I have to walk 10 minutes 3 times a day or my leg gives out. Also wheelchair exercise is working for me. Hang in there. I too just started back and it is painful but I can't give up.

Here in VA, our Community Center charges $25 p/YEAR. This gives me access to all of the gyms in that one city. The community centers have pools, free weights, basketball courts, foosball, pingpong tables, and normally a tennis court. Plus it is very lighted and people are constantly arriving and leaving, double plus, they double as a aftercare center (bonus security).

put the treadmill in front of the tv to ease boredom.
switch/ trade for a stationary bike, perhaps
get the excersie games for the WII.
turn to the exercise shows on cable
walk the sideline at your kid's game, if possible.
I hope one of these will keep you on track! Good luck!

I really love audio books. I don't let myself listen to them unless I am walking (treadmill or outside) that way if it's a really good story the only way to find out what happens next is to get off the couch. audible gives you a free audio book for registering. That's about 10 hours to start you off.

When an author sues another for plagiarism, it usually makes the headlines. That's because it's so very rare. Most writers are scrupulous about getting permission and fairly attributing their sources when they borrow from another's copyrighted work. When you buy this eBook Excerpt from the Beginning Writer's Answer Book, you'll get answers to questions about when, how much, and under what circumstances you can draw from other people's work.
You shouldn't get copyright releases before submitting to a publisher, since a publisher may not want some selections, and may want others not included in the original manuscript. After the manuscript is accepted, you should write the requests for permission, citing chapter and page, preferably also including a copy of the passage. Any reprint fees are usually paid for by the publisher, but deducted from the anthologist's royalties.

15 Project Ideas For Tricking Hipsters Into Giving You Cash on Kickstarter
There's a dirty little loophole on the Internet just waiting to be penetrated and exploited. Thanks to a social net called Kickstarter, you can currently trick hipsters into giving you real money to "fund" a "project" you want to "create".
Basically, you make a MySpace page for pretty much any half-baked idea that comes into your brain, then start asking random strangers on the Internet for cash to support it, and then rich people who have run out of ways to dispose of their income in an appropriately cool manner will actually pay you to make it happen, but you can just take their money and do nothing (because who's gonna bust you, the Kickstarter police?). Pretty genius stuff.
I know what you're thinking: I'd love to free up a new revenue stream by relieving a few trust fund kids of their parents' cash, but just one problem: I don't have any ideas. Well, since I'm such a nice guy, I've come up with 15 artsy-sounding pitches that will work wonderfully for pan-handling on Kickstarter. Give them a try!
1. Starting a freak-folk jugband called "Arugula" that creates hauntingly lush sonic landscapes using instruments made entirely from locally-sourced food items found at a farmer's market.
2. Mounting a mural on the side of the New York Public Library that is a giant finger-painting of the blogosphere.
3. Self-publishing an art photography book about women staring at their vaginas, but they are holding mirrors over them, so really they are staring at themselves staring at their vaginas, but then we're all staring at them. (Think about it.)
4. Writing a 9000-word wank-off essay in a literary journal about hipsters and who they are and what they mean and how we're all one and why they don't matter.
5. Starting a viral "Fuck Yeah" Tumblr-turned-book-deal in which photos are hilariously captioned with deadpan irony in a knowing, insidery comedic voice.
6. Creating a new brand of environmentally-sustainable luxury soap made using re-scented feces from a miniature pot-bellied pig named Waldorf.
7. Publishing a boutique alt-comic strip about socially-awkward artsy kids who just don't fit in.

A non-conventional approach to mitigating workplace violence
How discerning between primal and cognitive aggression could potentially prevent conflict before it occurs
Before you dismiss Byrnes' assertions, his out-of-the-box approach to managing employee violence has attracted the attention of not only the private sector, but government agencies as well. He has conducted seminars and workshops for some of our country's largest corporations, organizations and schools, including the United States Post Service, NASA, Disney Development Company, Florida Hospitals, U.S. Army Center for Civilian Human Resource Management and the Department for Safe Schools Center, to name just a few.
Byrnes stresses that his concept is simple: "We have set up a systematic method that helps your organization to be proactive instead of reactive," he says. "Knowing the profile characteristics of aggressive behaviors can mean the difference between preventing an incident or cleaning up afterwards."

I have a different view. I'm 46 and have been doing networking since Corvus. I still know how to use a freq counter, signal injector, scope, and soldering iron. I'm a beat up old net/sys admin, former OS/2 evangelist, and current rabid linux user. I feel sorry for a lot of these kids coming into the industry today. It is easier to keep up than catch up. The depth and breadth of experience is a hard beast to defeat. Solutions are most often found quickly by those who've seen enough to jump confidently. I've had interviewees with all the certs, but had no idea what "righty tighty lefty loosy" meant. Common sense and hand skill are horribly lacking. I suppose what it comes down to for me is that it's not how smart you are, or whether or not you've been educated properly, but how you think. Troubleshooting skill is more a way of thinking than anything else, and there is no substitute for experience when it comes to putting out fires.

Abu Simbel, possibly the most awe-inspiring temple of all ancient Egypt, with its gigantic rock–cut façade, was created to revere the mighty ruler Ramses II. Guarding the entrance to the temple, the 4 colossal statues of Ramses II sit majestically staring out across the desert, seemingly since time began. We offer an amazing excursion to visit the Temples of Abu Simbel on the morning of day 8. Click here for further information.

Dear on the go,
I have been meaning to write for ages but time has got away from me. I would like to thank everybody involved in my brilliant tour of Turkey and Egypt. I took part in the Anzac and Ancient Egypt tour in April and had the time of my life. Anzac was incredible and something I have wanted to do my whole life and Egypt was amazing especially finishing the whole tour off in Dahab. This made for a relaxing finale. Thank you again and keep up the good work, Lachie.
Lachlan Turner,
I had a great time on the tour. So worth flying over from Australia to experience Anzac Day and of course see the pytamids! I had a wonderful time. Thank you.
Taryn Schultz,
What a great tour! Great idea to combine the Anzac experience with Egypt! I will treasure some great memories from this trip.
Stephanie B,
Anzac day was amazing. It is hard work but a pilgrimage all Aussies have to do at some point in their lives. My tour was great and now I am off to Egypt which I can't wait for. Keep up the good work and thanks to everyone both in London and Turkey. Cheers.
Julia G,

On April 16th, we will have the opportunity to help make the lives of those we love a bit easier. An Advanced Directive (A.D.) form is something that we can fill out and have our significant other sign that explains who we want to speak for us when the time comes we are able to speak for ourselves. At some point in life, all of us will end up sick, sedated, having surgery, or in an accident, unable to speak for ourselves. An A.D. means someone who knows and loves us will make decisions instead of a stranger. Our choice is not if someone will make decisions for us…our choice is WHO that person will be. A.D.s insure our right to speak for ourselves and they tell our loved ones what we want done. A.D.s also are a great help when we have to BE decision makers for our loved ones.
Here is how it works:
1st, we name the specific people we trust to make decisions for us. As chaplain and member of the ethics committee, this is where I often see conflict.—can be many family members present, all of whom think THEY should be the spokesperson. And they may disagree! Stress and worry make family communication harder than usual.
2nd, gives contact information so our agents can be located in an emergency – e.g., phone number for daughter in Arizona, even email address.
3rd, helps us think about our goals – about what is important to us if we become ill
4th, stimulates us to think and talk about our deepest values and religious beliefs so those values will guide our agents.
5th, lets us give guidelines or general directions for our treatment.—for example, how long we might want to continue really aggressive medical care if we were NOT getting any better
Finally, our A.D. creates a temporary transfer of power; (..just like the president, we appoint a temporary agent), guides that agent's decisions for us, and then when we are better lets us take back our decision-making powers
Why it is not just for the elderly to fill out:
1st, accidents, illness, surgery happen at every age – in fact, accidents more likely for people under 30.
2nd, all famous cases were people in their 20's…Terry Schiavo, Nancy Cruzan, Karen Quinlan.
3rd, when someone is young, there's often more conflict between family about who will make decisions.
4th, there are real dangers in NOT completing an advance directive. If we DON"T have an A.D., Virginia law says who may make decisions, but as we saw in Florida with the tragedy of Terry Schiavo, such a simple ranking of decision-makers may not help. An advance directive is a legally recognized document with clear and convincing proof of our values and wishes and of our decision maker. It can help to prevent terrible struggles for our families.
Finally, this simple process helps us get the care we want and help relieves anguish for our families in difficult situations. It is becoming a routine part of good health care planning for everyone who is 18 or older.
Questions to consider when designating the decision maker:
1st, who is the person you trust to make decisions for you? Who knows your values and goals?
2nd, do you have religious beliefs or values that would affect your decisions?
3rd, in the very rare event that you were left permanently unconscious with no realistic hope of recovery, how long would you consider it reasonable to continue aggressive care? 2 weeks? 2 months? 2 years? 15 years? This is an especially important guideline to put in writing. Though Terry Schiavo had TOLD her husband and several friends here wishes, she had never written any guidelines, and that made her tragic situation even worse for everyone who loved her.
Where to go to fill this out:
1st, Wednesday, April 16th, is National Health Care Decisions day.
Both our community hospitals will offer free education and help all day.
2nd, just walk into the lobby at Martha Jefferson or the cafeteria at UVA anytime between 8am and 8pm.. Information, friendly help, and free forms will be waiting for you
3rd, ANY other day, you may go to the hospital website @ marthajeffersonhopsital.org to download information and forms OR free assistance can be arranged by calling 434-982-7009. We'll do everything we can to help you to protect your rights and to make things easier for your loved ones.

J.R. Havlan goes back to the days of Craig Kilborn
Jon Stewart closed out Thursday's "Daily Show" with a salute to someone who's been with the show longer than he has: writer J.R. Havlan is stepping down after working on the series since its 1996 debut.
Stewart used the show's "Morning of Zen" to pay tribute, noting that Havlan has done roughly 2,900 episodes.
Also read: J.R. Havlan, Longest-Serving 'Daily Show' Writer, Says Goodbye
"He has decided for whatever reason after only 2,900 that uh, 'Yeah, I'm good. That's enough.'" Stewart said. "Boy, we're gonna miss him."
Stewart also rolled a clip of Craig Kilborn, who hosted the show when it debuted, introducing Havlan way back when.

I'm pretty sure I've seem every game Mark Sanhcez has ever played for the Jets.
No, I'm positive I've seen every game Mark Sanchez has ever played for the Jets.
When exactly did he get benched for Mark Brunell?
I gotta go back and look at the tapes.
its funny that the only people arguing with me here are typical marky mark fanboys. check out SEC's history, he's mostly posting in tebow threads, bashing tebow. his one update from camp was (who would have thought) the one where some reporter posted that tebow held on to the ball too long. hilarious lmao
Last edited by DaBallhawk; 07-27-2012 at 06:25 PM.
Coach Rex Ryan reportedly "hedged a bit" Thursday when asked whether the Jets are holding a quarterback competition.
"I don't want to speculate on this, that or whatever," he said. "Mark Sanchez is our starting quarterback." Ryan also expressed confidence in the Jets' two-QB system. "They say if you have two quarterbacks, you have no quarterbacks," said Ryan. "Tell that to the San Francisco 49ers when they had Steve Young and Joe Montana. I think they won a few games, I'm not real sure." We expect to see Tebow in the starting lineup no later than the Jets' Week 9 bye.
Did you even pay attention to what you posted. The quotes represent the end of what Rex Ryan and what comes after is the writers opinion.
2) i used newton to show some marky marks fanboys in here that 14 games or 16 games is enough to judge 2 QB's. especially if the other QB isnt exactly close to breaking favre's record when it comes to how many games he played. sanchez was in his 3rd season, tebow in his 2nd. wow, clearly those 2 cant be compared. they played in different era's. right?
tebow played enough for people with an IQ over 30 to say he should deserve a shot at being the starter if mark doesnt get the job done. you dont agree, thats your problem. again, face reality. marky got benched for somebody that could barely walk. and if you want to use the "during a pro nfl game, in the regular season" argument, rex said he was about to bench him in the game too, but sanchez was giving us the best chance to win. thats like saying jamarcus russell gives the raiders the best chance to win and his backup is a guy with no arms.
3) what hatred? i want mark to play well, i'd be happy if he posted a 150 QB rating over the entire season which would guarantee that tebow wouldn enter the field. im all for mark, hope he gets the job done and has success here. not sure what you're talking about. but IF he struggles, then yeah, i want him benched. yet another lame spin attempt by a marky fanboy. that i hate mark because i dont want to see him on the field if he struggles and fails to get the job done. i understand he's not gonna play 16 great games, but if he struggles for like 5 games, if the playoffs are getting out of reach, he needs to be benched ASAP. you dont agree of course, thats why you are a marky mark fanboy. cheer for a different team please, seeing how you dont care about the jets.
And again, Mark was never benched in favor of Brunnel. If he was, what game are you referring to?
I don't know if these Tebow fans are 12 years old, graduated from Florida, or just hate Sanchez -- regardless, there are SO many better topics we could be discussing right now.
I really think posters need to use their ignore button A LOT more between now and September . . .

Urban responds to Kiffin's notion about the spread-option offense and the NFL
- 7:15 pm Thursday, September 17th, 2009 by Post Staff
GAINESVILLE – Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin mentioned on Tuesday that the only time he notices the Gators missing on high school prospects is when receivers say they want to play in more of a pro-style offense than Urban Meyer's spread-option attack.
"You see some kids that don't want to play in that system because a lot of times it hurts them going to the next level for their draft status," Kiffin said.
Thursday, Meyer finally had enough.
"It's just amazing when I hear people say about the spread offense and wide receiver play. It's absolutely amazing," Meyer said after his team's final practice before Saturday's game against Kiffin and the Vols.
Will Urban Meyer abandon the spread-option once Tim Tebow leaves?
- 11:23 am Thursday, June 4th, 2009 by Post Staff
Urban Meyer has made a career on running the spread-option offense – he lit up scoreboards for two years at Bowling Green, which landed him the gig at Utah, which landed him the Florida job, which landed him two BCS championship trophies, which landed him a lot of zeroes on his paycheck.
But are the days of the option pitch, jet sweep and jump pass coming to an end in Gainesville?
Already we know that Tim Tebow and John Brantley spent countless hours this spring working on hand-offs and drop-backs from under center during spring practice. And that the coaches spent most of the spring identifying players who could play fullback as Gators tinkered with an "I-formation" offense. And that Brantley, the heir apparent to Tebow, does not have the skill set to run the spread-option the same way Tebow does (not a knock on Brantley, just stating the obvious that Tebow is a unique physical specimen).
Yesterday, Bruce Feldman of ESPN had an interesting nugget about Florida's offense and their new recruiting tactics in his blog about blue-chip quarterback prospect Jesse Scroggins III from Lakewood, Calif.
Apparently Florida's coaching staff (i.e. quarterbacks coach Scot Loeffler) is downplaying the whole spread-option thing, and telling recruits that a more pro-style offense is being installed.
From Feldman:
Jesse III said his first offer came from Washington in February. That was followed by Washington State, and then a bunch more. Just the other day Florida offered. The Gators coaches told him they're going to more of a pro-style offense, because NFL teams don't run the spread, which he says was good to hear since he's more of a pro-style guy himself.

mailing list archives
This morning, the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) released its
updated list of the 10 most critical web application security problems,
marking the second year for this report. OWASP created this list to help
organizations understand and improve the security of their web applications
and web services.
The Top 10 list is organized around particular categories of vulnerabilities
that frequently occur in Web applications. This year's revision includes a
new category for web application denial of service vulnerabilities that have
become increasingly prevalent in systems over the last year. Also, the list
now aligns with the current draft web security definitions that will be
incorporated in the soon-to-be-released OASIS WAS XML standard. Many minor
improvements were made as well.
Recent application DOS attacks have locked users out of accounts, exhausted
an application's database connections, and consumed all of an application's
processing power. Exploiting these vulnerabilities, an attacker can target
specific users or block all access to an application at will. The attacks do
not require any special tools or expertise to launch, and have become a
major risk for most web applications.
Download the standard from the OWASP Web site at
http://www.owasp.org/documentation/topten. We would greatly appreciate a
note if your organization is using the Top Ten internally.

Hull KR coach Craig Sandercock '95 per cent certain' of line-up to face Leeds Rhinos
Posted: February 05, 2014|
CRAIG Sandercock admits he is "95 per cent" certain which 17 players will face Leeds Rhinos in Hull KR Super League opener.
The Rovers coach now has 10 days to decide the make-up of his first squad of the season ahead of the Rhinos' arrival at the KC Lightstream Stadium.
In the two friendlies against Hull and Huddersfield, Sandercock has lined up with a very similar starting 13.
And the biggest headache he faces appears to be who to start at stand-off, having seen Craig Hall fill in for the injured Travis Burns.
Related content

Hull KR extend Strata Holdings west stand sponsorship deal for second year
"I'll sit down now and have a look at Leeds and choose a side we think will do okay," Sandercock told the Mail.
"I'm fairly close to finalising my squad for the game. I've had a good look at the videos of both games and probably 95 per cent of the squad is chosen.
"I'd suggest most of the side will pick itself, but there are a few key areas up for grabs."
Sandercock made only two changes for Saturday's second and final friendly defeat at Huddersfield, with Liam Salter replacing Graeme Horne at centre and Jonny Walker taking the place of the sick Justin Poore in the front row.
Pleased with what he has seen from his players so far, Rovers were competitive for long periods of both away games.
That's what Sandercock has been striving for since he took over ahead of the 2012 season and he now wants to see that standard repeated throughout the forthcoming campaign.
"We want to be competitive and play well every week," he said.
"We've been competitive in the friendlies and that's what our aim is.
"Now it's about the rest of this week and next week as we get ready to face Leeds.
"The fitness of the squad is coming on well. There are a few bumps and bruises, but hopefully they'll be available for round one."

Blogging, Rediscovered (or Finding the Right Space)
I've paralyzed myself as a result, and created a visual space that accommodates just one mode — a single version of me. I've left little room for experimentation; I've promised a certain experience for my readers. Or maybe this is all in my head, and I overthink things.
Maybe I just need to shut up and write.
Exploring Versions of Home
You can create your own profile on Medium and Hi and Exposure. But there's an element of renting out space on these platforms, and I'm reminded of the loft my husband and I just moved out of — one unit within a huge, impersonal condo complex — and our quest to create the exact home we want.
Notes on a Static Front Page
I've been wondering what to do with this blog, and I'm leaning toward creating a static front page, pointing to category collections and posts I'm proud of — and moving away from the blog format completely. Preserving the best moments of me, with my posts acting like exhibits in a museum.
On Writing (and Evolving) Online
A writer who publishes on various platforms on the web is like an animal peeing in different places. I'm simply marking my territory — expanding the Cheri Lucas Rowlands brand far and wide.
On (Un)organized Consumption
I guess, deep down, I do enjoy the labyrinthine-ness of the web. I complain about feeling left behind. About not knowing the best ways to do something. But I've never really been someone who expects — or wants — to conquer each minute of the day, to be some kind of marvel of productivity.

[If you look to my signature, you will probably smile ;-) ]
This is not a HUGE issue, because the real security of phase 1 comes
from the Diffie-Helman key exchange and from the IKE authentication. The
phase 2 SA are negotiated by the Quick Mode exchange and can be
done without a new DH by reusing the previous DH key material plus
some random numbers exchanged during Quick Mode. So, even with
the bug, the phase 2 keys are protected through the original DH.
Breaking the phase 1 key (which seems easy based on the original email)
gives access to the identity and to the negotiated policies.
Bad of course, but not a CATASTROPHIC security hole.

Short summary:
Nortel Networks Contivity Extranet Switch (CES) has a weakness in it's IPSEC
key exchange when using 3DES encryption. The 3DES encryption keys are
encrypted using single DES during initial key exchange thus reducing
cryptographic strength to 56-bit DES level. The weakness affects both CES to
other IPSEC device (including another CES) tunnels and remote user to CES
tunnels created with Nortel Extranet Access Client.
CES is a VPN concentrator used between untrusted (Internet) and trusted
network, which supports among other protocols IPSEC. Nortel ships CES'es in
two versions, 56 and 128 bits encryption versions (for example CES 1510 and
CES 1510D; D stands for domestic == 128 bits version). For some reason
stickers on shipping package says 128 bit encryption and documentation
states 168 bits (== 3*56 bits DES) encryption.
The weakness exists at least in software versions 2.5x and 2.6x. Extranet
Access Client version 2.62 has been patched, as well as newest version of
CES software (3.50).
IPSEC IKE (RFC2409 <URL:http://www.google.com/search?q=rfc2409&btnI=>)
defines two phase key exchange. IKE phase 1 creates a Security Association
(ISAKMP SA) between two peers. ISAKMP SA is created by negotiating an
encryption algorithm and changing encryption keys securely regardless of
eavesdropping third party. Encryption key for ISAKMP SA is negotiated using
Diffie-Hellman exchange. If Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) is not requested,
one ISAKMP SA can be used to create multiple secure channels in IKE phase 2.
In phase 2, the actual algorithm used for data encryption in IPSEC tunnels
is negotiated and encryption keys are exchanged. Phase 2 relies on
encryption level created in phase 1. If I have read and understood IKE RFC
correctly, keys used for data encryption are "normally" (RFC doesn't
_require_ Diffie-Hellman exchange inside ISAKMP SA, but allows it if
approved by both peers) exchanged inside ISAKMP SA in plain text. Hopefully
someone will prove me wrong.
Nortel CES prior to version 3.50 and Extranet Access Client prior to version
2.62 create IPSEC IKE phase 1 ISAKMP SA using only single DES (56-bits),
regardless of encryption settings on CES. Eavesdropper is able to resolve
the 3DES encryption keys only by (brute force or otherwise) cracking the IKE
phase 1 single DES key. Single DES is crackable in less than 24 hours
according to <URL:http://www.rsasecurity.com/rsalabs/des3/index.html>
Following are sample IKE negotiations with different CES and Extranet Access
Client versions (all CESes involved have only 3DES/MD5 and 3DES/SHA
encryption algorithms enabled for IPSEC):
Client version 2.61 or below (3DES capable)
CES version 2.63 or below (3DES capable)
IKE negotiation:
client: IKE proposal, DES_CBC algorithm, MD5, aggressive mode
CES: IKE Diffie-Hellman key exchange, DES_CBC
client: encrypted response, phase one completed
(3DES encryption key exchange inside ISAKMP SA just created)
Client version 2.62 or higher (3DES capable)
CES version 2.63 or below (3DES capable)
IKE negotiation:
client: IKE proposal, 3DES_CBC algorithm, MD5, aggressive mode
CES: IKE notification, No Proposal Chosen
client: IKE proposal, 3DES_CBC algorithm, MD5, aggressive mode
CES: IKE notification, No Proposal Chosen
client: IKE proposal, 3DES_CBC algorithm, MD5, aggressive mode
CES: IKE notification, No Proposal Chosen
*client fallback to DES_CBC*
client: IKE proposal, DES_CBC algorithm, MD5, aggressive mode
CES: IKE Diffie-Hellman key exchange, DES_CBC
client: encrypted response, phase one completed
(3DES encryption key exchange inside ISAKMP SA just created)
Same applies to branch office connections (VPN tunnels between two
CES1 version 2.63 or below (3DES capable)
CES2 version 2.63 or below (3DES capable)
IKE negotiation:
CES1: IKE proposal, DES_CBC algorithm, MD5, aggressive mode
CES2: IKE key exchange, DES_CBC
CES1: encrypted response, phase one completed
(3DES encryption key exchange inside ISAKMP SA just created)
The warning message for 3DES IKE rejection in CES can be found from
Status/Event Log by searching for string "ISAKMP [13] No proposal chosen
in message from".
The reason I found this weakness was an interoperability issue between
FreeS/WAN 1.8 and CES. FreeS/WAN has dropped support for single DES in IPSEC
IKE phase 1 in FreeS/WAN release 1.6. So these two products couldn't
interoperate because 3DES version of CES couldn't do 3DES key exchange.
Upgrade to CES to version 3.50 and Extranet Access Client software to at
least version 2.62.
According to release notes for software version 3.50
F> Nortel has added a capability to send message/drop connection based on
client version. This could be used for informing about update or restricting
access for clients with versions below 2.62.
According to release notes, version 3.50 software is not supported on CES
600 or CES 1000 series.
CES upgrade procedure requires a ftp-server which implements NLST command
incorrectly according to RFC959
<URL:http://www.google.com/search?q=rfc959&btnI=>. For example newest
wu-ftpd is not able to update CES, but versions before wu-ftpd 2.6 do work
After upgrade you should check the IPSEC settings for Profiles/Groups and
Profiles/Branch office. The setting is named "IKE Encryption and
Diffie-Hellman Group" and it can be set to 56-bit or to 128-bit encryption.
Unfortunately you have to upgrade all your Extranet Access Clients at once,
because the setting is exclusive. You cannot have both 56 and 128 bits
encryption for IKE activated.
This weakness does not mean that data in VPN tunnels created with CES is not
encrypted with specified level. Only the _effective_ encryption level is
reduced to single DES security regardless of CES version used, if
eavesdropper is able to capture IKE negotiation. IKE negotiation is
performed through the same routers in Internet as the encrypted data is
routed after IKE. IKE negotiation is also quite easy to harvest from large
amount of network packets because of it's unique characteristics: IKE use
UDP protocol and both source and destination ports are 500 in every IKE
Versions tested:
CES 1500D running software 2.51 - single DES IKE
CES 1510D running software 2.60 - single DES IKE
CES 1510D running software 2.61 - single DES IKE
CES 1500D running software 2.63 - single DES IKE
CES 1500D running software 3.50 - 3DES IKE
Extranet Access Client 2.51 (128-bit version) - single DES IKE
Extranet Access Client 2.62 (128-bit version) - 3DES IKE
Other CES models (domestic versions of 600, 1000, 2500, 2600, 4500, ...)
most probably contain the same weakness, as Nortel seems to run the same
software in all models.
Vendor notified:
12th of February, 2001 by contacting local Nortel presales people in
Vendor response:
Local presales people have helped with debugging the weakness by providing
newer software releases. No other response so far. New software version
solves the problem.

The Polish-born soprano Aleksandra Kurzak is withdrawing from the Metropolitan Opera's production of Verdi's "Rigoletto" this fall because she is expecting a baby with her partner, the tenor Roberto Alagna, the Met announced Monday. The role of Gilda will instead be shared by two sopranos making their Met debuts ahead of schedule: Irina Lungu , a Russian soprano, and Sonya Yonche, a Bulgarian Soprano. Mr. Alagna's marriage to the soprano Angela Gheorghiu — the pair were marketed as opera's "love couple" at one point — ended in divorce.

Minnesota Orchestra Withdraws From Two Carnegie Hall ConcertsBy James R. Oestreich
Updated, 7:40 p.m. | MINNEAPOLIS – The Minnesota Orchestra announced on Monday that it was withdrawing from its two concerts at Carnegie Hall in November, because it has not been able to come to agreement on a new contract with its players.
On Saturday, the players voted to reject management's fourth proposal, which expired on Monday. It would have resulted in an average annual salary of $104,500 over three years, as well as a onetime signing bonus of $20,000 per player. The previous contract, with an average salary of $135,000, expired on Oct. 1, 2012, and the players have since been locked out. The orchestra ultimately canceled its entire 2012-13 season.
The Carnegie programs were to be part of a four-concert survey of the symphonies and other works of Sibelius conducted by the orchestra's music director, Osmo Vanska. (The other two concerts are scheduled for April.) Mr. Vanska has been closely associated with Sibelius's music throughout his career, and he has said that because of the deep meaning the Carnegie concerts held for him, he would resign his position if they were canceled.

Good Reviews Propel 'Glass Menagerie' Sales on BroadwayBy Patrick Healy
In a mixed week at the box office for most Broadway shows, the new revival of "The Glass Menagerie" enjoyed unusually strong ticket sales after theater critics weighed in Thursday night with stellar reviews for the production and its cast, led by the two-time Tony Award winner Cherry Jones.
While the play sold a respectable $85,000 in tickets last Wednesday and $68,000 on Thursday, the box office jumped to $487,000 on Friday for current and future performances, and stayed solid through the weekend ($276,000 on Saturday and $188,000 on Sunday), according to the producers. For its eight performances last week it grossed $511,429 — 20 percent more than the previous week. That was 65 percent of the maximum possible amount that the play could have taken in last week — an impressive figure for a play revival with no Hollywood celebrities in the cast.
Among the shows struggling was the musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," which has been sliding since Labor Day. "Spider-Man," which has weekly running costs of roughly $1 million, the highest on Broadway, grossed $621,960 last week, down more than 10 percent from the previous week. A spokesman has attributed the weakening ticket sales to negative publicity over an accident involving a cast member last month as well as to the traditional slowdown on Broadway in late summer and early fall; the musicals "Annie," "Cinderella," "First Date" and "Soul Doctor" also had rough weeks through September.
Over all, Broadway musicals and plays grossed $19.45 million last week, compared to $17.2 million for the comparable week last season. Attendance was 197,906 last week, compared to 184,210 a year ago.
CBGB Festival Is Expanding in Its Second YearBy James C. McKinley Jr.
My Morning Jacket, the Wallflowers and Grizzly Bear will perform free concerts in Times Square on Oct. 12 as part of the second annual CBGB Music and Film Festival, the event's organizers said.
The concert will start at 10 a.m., turning a 10-block section of Midtown near Times Square — north from 46th Street — into a pop-music fair. Bands will appear on six stages, and there will be several other attractions: a music equipment expo, a rock-climbing wall, a silent disco, a pumpkin carving competition and a skateboard half-pipe sponsored by Red Bull, among other things.
The festival has grown since last year and now will feature about 500 bands and solo acts appearing from Oct. 8 through 12 at 175 bars, nightclubs and other spaces in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Last year bands from myriad branches of punk and hardcore rock dominated the lineup but this year's show takes several steps into pop and alternative rock, including acts like Atlas Genius, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. and Lisa Loeb.

Bloomberg Says City Opera Is On Its OwnBy Michael Cooper and Kate Taylor
Updated, 6:48 p.m. | Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is not riding to the rescue of New York City Opera, which has said that it plans to file for bankruptcy and dissolve itself if it fails to raise $7 million by the end of Monday.
From its inception, City Opera has had a close relationship with City Hall. It was Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia, after all, who helped get it off the ground 70 years ago as part of a drive to provide what he called "cultural entertainment at popular prices." Mayor La Guardia was so closely associated with the company that he was the one to announce that its first music director would be Laszlo Halasz.
So it is an odd twist of fate that, seven decades later, City Opera stands on the brink of bankruptcy when the current occupant of City Hall, Mayor Bloomberg, happens to be a major patron of the arts in his private life. Mr. Bloomberg said Monday that it would be "sad" if the opera company closed, but that neither the city nor his private foundation would step in to save it.
Speaking at a news conference, Mr. Bloomberg said that as he understands it, the company has been unable to attract the kind of money it needs. And even if they did, he said, "the business model doesn't seem to be working."
But he added that "city government can't go and support all of the arts institutions," noting that while the city gives some grants, he has had to cut back on them to pay for other priorities, such as education.
"My foundation's made up for some of it, but we have lots of other things to do, too, and we can't just do it ourselves,'' he said.
A spokesman for the mayor said later that Mr. Bloomberg had been a financial supporter of City Opera for about 15 years, and that his foundation had worked with other foundations this year to try to help them. But the spokesman declined to say how much the mayor had contributed. A City Opera program this week listed Bloomberg Philanthropies as a "benefactor," which it said required a contribution of $500,000 or more this year, but not as a "great benefactor," which required a contribution of more than $1 million.
The spokesman said that the mayor's foundations had also paid for a consultant this month to help the struggling company develop a fundraising strategy.
Iran Signals Cultural Thaw With Oscar ChoiceBy Larry Rohter
Iran's hostile political attitude towards the United States isn't the only thing that has been in flux since a new president, Hassan Rouhani, took office in August. There are also signs of an incipient cultural thaw, made most evident this weekend when the country's film selection committee chose to submit Asghar Farhadi's "The Past" as its candidate for the Academy Award for best foreign-language film.
On the surface, that should not be surprising: Mr. Farhadi won the foreign-language Oscar in 2012 for "A Separation," a mixture of drama and mystery about an Iranian couple whose marriage goes into crisis. But "The Past," which is set around Paris and filmed mostly in French, tackles issues of sex and fidelity with a frankness that has been anathema to the Islamic clerics who have governed Iran since 1979.
"The Past," which theoretically could have been a French submission, was one of a dozen movies on the short list considered by Iran's cinema selection committee in deliberations that ended on Sunday. It tells the story of an Iranian man who leaves his French wife to return to his homeland, but is pulled back to Paris, and into a complicated family situation. Read more…
Helen Fielding to Darcy: Drop DeadBy Jennifer Schuessler
Mr. Darcy is dead!
Or at least Mark Darcy, the romantic foil in Helen Fielding's best-selling Bridget Jones novels, is no more, according to an excerpt from the latest installment that ran in The Sunday Times of London over the weekend.
When last seen in "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason," Ms. Fielding's heroine, very loosely based on Elizabeth Bennet from "Pride and Prejudice," was engaged to be married to the surly but dashing barrister Mark Darcy (played in the Bridget Jones film adaptations by Colin Firth, whose clothing ran more to tacky Christmas sweaters than the billowy white shirt he wore in the BBC's "Pride and Prejudice").
But now, in "Mad About the Boy," to be published in the United States on Oct. 15, Bridget is now Bridget Darcy, a 51-year-old mother of two and a widow.
The cause of Mark Darcy's demise was not specified in the excerpt, but fans did not wait for a fuller reveal to react.
"Helen Fielding, what the heck do you think you're doing?" one mourner wrote (in all caps) on Twitter in one of the more printable over-the-top tweets gathered by BuzzFeed in a feature titled "17 People Whose Lives Have Been Ruined by Mark Darcy's Death." The tweet continued: "You just can't kill off Mark Darcy. Do you want me to be depressed for rest of my life?"
But others greeted the news with more Zen-like calm, perhaps comforted by the news that Bridget had taken up with a much younger man — and by the continued existence of Mr. Firth.
"Dead? The other Mr. Darcy?" tweeted Anne Margaret Daniel. "Oh, I don't think so. I only go by the movies, and Colin Firth is just fine. Very fine."
Almost a Year After Storm, TKTS Booth at Seaport to ReopenBy Dave Itzkoff
The Theater Development Fund, the nonprofit group that runs the city's TKTS discount theater-tickets booths, said it would reopen its TKTS site at the South Street Seaport on Tuesday. The site, which is at John Street and Front Street in Lower Manhattan and sells half-price tickets to Broadway and Off Broadway shows, had been closed after Hurricane Sandy damaged the Seaport last October.
In its place, the Theater Development Fund had been operating a TKTS booth at a temporary site at Fulton and South Streets. The fund, which also sells tickets in Times Square and in Brooklyn, said the temporary booth would be closed on Monday.
Victoria Bailey, the executive director of the fund, said in a statement, "We're happy to return to our home at the Seaport." She added, "With so many new shows opening on and Off Broadway in the next few months we are looking forward to a robust fall."
Minnesota Orchestra Musicians Reject Latest Contract OfferBy James R. Oestreich
The players of the Minnesota Orchestra voted on Saturday to reject management's latest contract proposal, the fourth since April 2012. The previous contract expired last year on Oct. 1, and the players have since been locked out, a standoff that killed the orchestra's 2012-13 season.
So the stage is set for potential fireworks at noon on Monday, when the current offer expires. The new season, with programs yet to be announced, is supposed to open at the newly renovated Orchestra Hall on Friday and to include four high-profile concerts of music by Sibelius in Carnegie Hall, the first two in early November.
Osmo Vanska, the orchestra's music director, has said that for the season to begin on time and for the orchestra to be Carnegie-ready, rehearsals will have to begin this week. He has also said that if the Carnegie concerts are canceled, he will resign his position, though his contract runs to 2015. Read more…
Families Drive 'Cloudy 2' at Weekend Box OfficeBy Adam W. Kepler
The lone family-friendly new release at the North American box office over the weekend, the animated comedy "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2" (Sony), dominated a crowded field of films aimed at adults to finish at No. 1 with estimated ticket sales of $35 million.
It was among the strongest September openings in history, according to Hollywood.com, behind another animated release from Sony, "Hotel Transylvania," which brought in $42.5 million over its first three days in 2012, and ahead of the first "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs," which took in $30.3 million in 2009 and went on to sell $243 million in tickets worldwide.
"Prisoners" (Warner Brothers) was in second place over the weekend with $11.3 million, raising its domestic total to almost $39 million in less than two weeks. "Rush" (Universal), a Formula One racing film directed by Ron Howard, finished in third and earned $10.3 million in its first week of wide release. "Baggage Claim," a comedy from Fox Searchlight starring Paula Patton, sold $9.3 million in ticket sales. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's new film, "Don Jon" (Relativity), a low-budget project that he wrote and directed and stars in, rounded out the top five with $9 million.

As the baseball season slowly winds it's way to the trade deadline, the Royals are expected to be looking at making a few moves. Right field certainly appears to be a position of need, and the Royals could possibly use help in the bullpen. However, aside from the obvious areas that the Royals could stand to improve upon, Dayton Moore could also look to upgrade his bench.
One potential area that the Royals could look to improve in would be at backup catcher. Salvador Perez plays virtually every day, so it is not as though the backup plays much in the first place. Yet, there are times when it seems like an APB needs to be put out on the present backup catcher Brett Hayes. At the same time, it is not as though Hayes has done much in his limited chances to warrant being in the lineup more often, as he has produced a .103/.125/.179 batting line, with an OPS+ of…. -17.
The Royals search for a backup catcher may not need to be very long. Sitting in Omaha is Francisco Pena, who had a brief one game cameo when Perez had his bell rung earlier in the season. This season with the Storm Chasers, the 24 year old has produced a .244/.298/.513 batting line with 15 home runs. Even though Pena has only walked 13 times in 219 plate appearances, that is still better than the one that Hayes has gotten this year.
Another area where Pena has an advantage over Hayes is in potential. We know what Brett Hayes is at this point – a AAA catcher who really does not provide much value either at the plate or behind it. Pena, meanwhile, has displayed a strong arm behind the plate, throwing out 31% of base stealers over his minor league career. He also has solid power potential, as those 15 home runs and his impending appearance in the AAA Home Run Derby can attest.
Even though Francisco Pena may not see much time playing behind Salvador Perez, he could provide a lot more than what Brett Hayes has to offer. Of course, providing even halfway decent production would be a vast improvement over what the Royals currently have backing up Perez. If nothing else, at least Pena is an unknown quantity and has the potential for upside.
Salvador Perez is going to need to get some days off at some point over the next few months. With Francisco Pena, there is the chance they could get some actual production from their backup.

I hope the "time" will disclose the truth and punish the culprits soon !Answered by Joseph Chacko, 29 May '08 02:51 am
Dear Aakashji, I feel very pity for her since she was only 14 years who has not seen the world also. If her parents are found guilty, I think they should be punished severely to set an example which I dont think her parents have done but cant say becoz it is Kalyug now. Dr Talwar is a very influential person and cant say if he is found guilty also, with all influence he may be left also becoz there is no evidence found as yet to nail him. Hope he is not the culprit but if he is I WILL SAY HE SHLD BE HANGED, no mercy for such fathers. Tke care regards CyrusAnswered by cyrus irani, 28 May '08 11:33 am
What can we do for it? We will only just discuss it as a latest news and will get back to our routine work.. We are not selfish but we can't do anything for it.Answered by puja gogia, 28 May '08 02:04 pm
Killing an innocent human is such a heinous sinful crime that its like murdering the entire mankind, similarly being resourceful in saving an innocent from being killed is such a rewadable act that its like saving the entire mankind, hence the killers of any crime, when proved guilty, without a mole of doubt, must face death penalty. there cannot be a better ruling than this but judgement must be very fair , not that some one else be made scape goat of other's crime.Answered by abdul hameed khan, 29 May '08 01:51 pm
I have heard / read many instances of rape and murder by father . But it is generally in villages and due to lack of education & due to perversion. But in this case , Talwars were loving , caring to Arushi and a high status in the society . Even if Arushi knew the extra marital affair of Talwar ( which may not be true also ) why will he kill her lovable daughter , knowing the consequences full well ??? I also don't think that Arushi had any compromising affair to enrage her father to take the extreme step. Anyway , truth is better than fiction and we are yet to know the truth.Answered by PARTHA PATHAK, 28 May '08 02:12 pm
Media has no idea what is going on..media is trying to be an investigative agency itself..every channel is trying to solve this case..what the hell is this????..they are spreading roamers about Arushi's character based on their senseless investigation..on the other hand Police has no clue what they are doing..they have no evidence against anybody what so ever..they are just playing bind folded..no weapon no finger prints no witness..they are just counting on circumstantial evidence which is of no use now!!..and as far as my reaction is concerned what can i do??..we all have to take responsibility..i was shocked but whats even more shocking is Media ne uski maut ko ek mazak bana ke rakh diya hai..ye humen hi rokna padega..media ko apni responsibility samajhni hogi..Answered by kunal sharma, 28 May '08 01:13 pm
I feel like something is still amiss that a father hwevr mad cdnt kill his own child like that in cold bloodAnswered by pooja batra, 28 May '08 04:40 pm
What else we can expect from our agencies.Not long ago there was Scarlett Keeling murder case in Goa and thereafter what happened is well known to us.But I really doubt how many of us still remember that and we will forget this case too after some time.Answered by amit kumar, 28 May '08 02:45 pm
We neither have anything to React nor any law is sufficient to tackle the problem unless we obey the same.
We are not blind but we are compelled to act as a blind due to the reasons well known to us.

Many such incidents are happening thro out our country. Some of them are reported and some of them over reported. Mass media has too much freedom. Some social organization will take it up.Answered by sankaran subbiah, 28 May '08 12:40 pm
