Last night saw the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1. It also saw me swooning around like a child, aiming desperately to catch a show on opening night. As I left my office on Friday evening, I knew I was chancing it trying to get tickets. Like many audiences around the world, we've all seen Harry and his chums grow up facing the forces of darkness over the years - and I wanted to be the first to know what happened next. I took the gamble and attempted a late night show.
My local multiplex has seen quite a cultural revolution lately. Like most cinemas in NRI hotspots – there's been a greater emphasis crowd-pulling 'blockbusters' and therefore a rise in pulp Bollywood. So you can imagine my regular frustration when my preferred film is usually dropped for the likes of Golmaal 3. Last night, however, was quite a different story. Harry Potter, always a crowd-puller had many showings; though what was great - was not that it just attracted middleclass school-children, but also a cosmopolitan global audience. Last night's showing was a rich blend of NRI locals – diverse in age and sex.
For me, the movie's international appeal is a theme that I wanted to explore further. So, what aspects of Harry Potter have been so inspirational to NRI viewers? The last seven years of magic at Hogwarts have seen me explore the genre of magic and fantasy in literature with a lot more depth. For others, it may have been any of the following:
Storytelling, literature and narrative:
Indian culture is rich in storytelling, whether it's the Rita Skeeter like tittle-tattle of gossip – or the profound epic creations of ancient times. J.K. Rowling's books have seen success in many parts of India – so much so that many readers have adopted Harry as their very own Hari Putthar.If you liked Vikram Betal – you'll be sure to enjoy The Tales of Beadle the Bard, and in particular the haunting Tale of the Three Brothers – which reminded me a lot of the stories that my mother used to tell me. This is of particular significance in The Deathly Hallows.
Boarding School:
A good majority of Indian people attend boarding schools in India. Though this reflects the burgeoning society – it also tells us a lot about the students who go onto emigrate to NRI outposts and the values and traditions they take with them. There are many well reputed boarding schools in India – and though they may be a distant cry from Hogwarts, it's fair to say that those having experienced them find they can identify with Harry and his school-based troubles. A cousin of mine who attended Dalhousie near Himalaya may otherwise overlook fantasy films, but for him, Harry Potter is always a treat.
For me, Rowling does enchant the notion of boarding school, though with Harry's challenges, we learn to take everything with a pinch of salt. Where there is the cheer of Gryffindor – there is the sombreness of Slytherin.
Magic and Mysticism:
Above the appeal of boarding school, magic and mysticism is Harry Potter's greatest draw for me. On the surface, a lot of Rowling's magic appears to be the work of fiction, but watch the films carefully and you'll notice that a lot of the classes that students join, take their inspiration from ancient practices.
I was first taken by references to runes, tarot and astrology. These ideas are themselves part of global mysticism. However, Divinity, tea-reading and dream-reading are perhaps more routed in eastern tradition than Rowling's Latin incantations. Naturally Sybil Trelawney has turned into a bit of a personal icon for such reasons.
A very interesting character – not particularly highlighted in the films is Nagini, perhaps as she's mainly a CGI creation working primarily under Voldermort's influence. The control of snakes, the ability to morph into one and speak with one plays an important part in The Deathly Hallows, though I wonder what Sri-Devi would have to say about this.
Them and us:
As much as I'd hate to relay any connection to prejudice and Indian culture – I find the distinct markers of difference in people a dominant global theme, even today. Though this can be interpreted in many ways – it's clear that ability, money and power form the greatest barriers. Rowling puts emphasis on pure-bloods and mud-bloods – thematically and cinematically this is comparable to the victimisation of Jews in Nazi Germany. Admittedly this style of political cleansing is very distant to what's happening in Indian society – but we're still seeing ill treatment of those different to us.
One analogy may be to consider the families in Harry Potter – of which there are two key examples. The Malfoys – who represent everything that is wrong with the Indian middle class (ill treatment of serfs and the desire to obtain power through malevolent force) and The Weasleys – who represent all the family virtues that are valued in Indian families (thrift, care and attention).
Ultimately, every audience member will have found something different to enjoy about these films. For me, it's the saga-like quality they capture. The Deathly Hallows is distinctly different from the previous films – sadder and smarter – but it still presents a lot of the international appeal that former films set a precedent for. The film is set to beat Guzaarish by NRI audiences themselves, though we shall see what magic ensues.

World Interest Rates and Investment
In a world of integrated capital markets, the price of credit - which I measure by short-term expected real interest rates - is determined to equate the world aggregate of investment demand to the world aggregate of desired national saving. I implement this approach empirically by approximating the world by aggregates for ten major developed countries. For the period since 1959, the common component of expected real interest rates for these countries relates especially to developments on world stock and oil markets and secondarily, to world monetary and fiscal policies.

Fish numbers dive off coast
Fish populations off the Southern California coast have dropped by 78 percent over the past 40 years, a new study shows, and an author of the study says the sharp declines are most likely caused by global warming.
While other assessments have shown similar reductions, the new study by a Scripps Institution of Oceanography researcher and a Costa Mesa environmental consultant not only points to an unusual suspect – ocean climate change – but says it comes from an unusual source.
The scientists analyzed nearly 40 years of meticulous records kept by coastal power plants of the type, and number, of fish species caught in their seawater-intake cooling systems.
"A big part of it was, I guess, to raise the alarm that things are changing in the ocean," said study lead author Eric Miller, a marine biologist at MBC Applied Environmental Sciences in Costa Mesa. "And we need to be cognizant of it. We need to be a little more careful as to where we started pointing fingers."
The scientists looked at more than 100 species, but focused on "forage" fish, or those often preyed upon by others, as well as predatory fish. The study included various species of surf perch, mackerel and bass.
And the numbers caught in power-plant cooling systems showed a distinct pattern. The average number caught dropped 78 percent in the 1990-2010 period, compared with the average during the 1972-83 period.
Some of the fish the scientists analyzed are harvested commercially and recreationally, while others are unfished. Critically, both showed similar declines.
That strongly suggests that overfishing, often blamed for fishery declines, might be a far less significant factor for Southern California species than changes in their environment.
"Fishing is not necessarily off the hook," Miller said. "There are some species that are impacted by fishing. (But) to a greater extent, oceanographic change really seems to be in the driver's seat."
And because similar trends were seen in the ocean intake systems of all the coastal power plants, pollution from specific sources along the coast also appeared to be a less likely explanation.
"All oceans have been changing over time, warming up," said co-author John McGowan, a researcher at Scripps. "At least in the California current, there's been a big change in salinity. So lots of things are changing, and there's no question that this is having a profound effect on the ecosystems."
He said human-driven climate change, and the resulting warming of oceans, is likely a significant factor in the fish declines.
The declines in prey fish also might help explain recent rashes of sick and starving sea lions along the coast, Miller said.
More such studies could help clarify the role of climate, along with other factors, he said.
"Blaming the fishing industries, the power plants themselves, blaming pollution – a lot of things that are popular to blame right now – that may or may not be accurate," he said. "We're spending a lot of resources on those, and underfunding things that may prove more relevant to the problems."

Your friend has an irrational fear. It is nothing that a year in good counselling wouldn't help.
A kid put a .22 cal shell in a vice in shop class and cranked down on the casing, and it went off... hitting a friend of mine in the back who was standing 2 ft away with is back to it. It broke the skin, that's it. If it had been a centerfire, I'm sure it would have never fired.
well i can tell you from first hand experience...yes i'm a moron, but thats besides the point. if you cut a 12 gauge shell up and empy out the husk of the balls and powder and just have the primer...you can bang the hell out of the back/bottom/whatever you want to call the primer area, with a pair of pliers and it won't set off the primer. it needs a direct hit on the primer..in my case it took me taking out a knife and placing it on the primer then hitting the knife w/ the pair of pliers :-D
I was a bit of a punk as a kid too. My friends and I would take 22 rounds and throw them on the ground trying to get them to go off. When we were successful they just exploded like a small firecracker. The funny part is that we were throwing them rimfire side to the ground in an effort to ignite them and we still only got about 1 out of 5 to pop.
I live for others and I answer to God and sometimes to my wife too.
The TV show that answers all important questions in live, Mythbusters, covered a couple issues like that.
- if you throw ammunition into a campfire, it will go off. But the velocity of the rounds is slower then normal (still somewhat dangerous). In order to reach its full velocity, the round needs to be held together by a barrel. The shell casing by itself will blow up too early.
- they also did the "use a handgun round to replace a car fuse". After lots of thinkering, they got it to fire into the right direction and it may have hit the driver.
There are two "explosives" in your cartridge: The primer, which is the part to watch out for. It is highly sensitive, and goes off rather easily if struck right.
The actual powder in your bullet is actually rather harmless. If you burn it by itself, you will see a flash. But it needs high temperatures to go off (which is provided by the primer).
BTW: Any artillery people around here that ever burned artillery powder charges? All you get is a very nice, hot and bright campfire. Most gun powders don't "explode" but flash off.
I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. (Thomas Jefferson)
Black powder is an explosive. Thats why you dont see many stores with it on their shelves. Its has to be kept in more secure places.
I remember an episode in the AR magazine a few years ago where they were doing ballistic testing in order to make safer jackets for firefighters. They were using .308 rifle rounds and heating them with a blowtorch on the side of the case until they went off, pointed at a jacket. The report stated most of bullets went through with lethal force. The casings were not held down, they were just laying on a screen so the flame could reach them. If I can find the correct magazine and article out of my hundreds of AR mags, I will scan and post.
This doesn't answer the question about random ignition and what it takes to pop a primer, but it does shed light on the lethality of a unbarreled round IF one does go off (rifle calibers at least)
"I'd rather have one and not need it, than need one and not have it!"
Anything is always possible. Due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and the ability of subatomic particles to disappear from one location and wind up somewhere hundreds or millions of mile away, there is the statistical possibility that I will be sitting in my recliner watching TV, and find myself the next second standing on the moon. Of course, the probability is so low that it would take longer than the life of the universe for it to happen, but it's possible, and statistically greater than the likelihood that I will sleep with Nikki Cox.
I frequently drop ammo as my fingers aren't as nimble as they once were. I also often carry a single .45acp in my pants pocket with my change as well as a full spare magazine in my jacket pocket. No round has ever gone off without being struck by the striker. Shoot! How many times do you read here about FTF's that occurred after the trigger was pulled? (not with Glocks, BTW) All of this having been said, by me and everyone else who has responded, it is still unlikely that your friend will ever believe the truth. Too bad! So sad!

I don't know who Nikki Coxx is either and don't actually care, but I digress. I have a Yugoslavian SKS that has started giving me some ejection problems as of late. So I was doing internet research to try and get some ideas of where I wanted to look to correct the problem. Anyhow in the course of that research I found that the SKS platform is notorious for slam fires due to it's free floating firing pin. So I decided to test it to see if their is a high probability of this happening when chambering a round. Took a sized case with only a primer in it and repeatedly dropped the bolt on it. Every time without fail the firing pin left an indent in the primer and the primer did not ignite till I actually pulled the trigger on it. These were Winchester blue box large rifle primers which are fairly soft. So can a round just go off? No it isn't going to happen. Can one go off if the primer is struck by something other than a firing pin? Maybe but I bet the odds are pretty astonomical.

And for the Spring 2008 collection shown today, designer Raf Simmons stayed true to form while infusing femininity into clean, seemingly androgynous silhouettes. While the gauze overlays may not be everyday fashion, they make for an interesting distortion of perceiving space. And the long, flowing numbers? Who says sleek means straight up and down!

Mercedes M-Class SUV review - Carbuyer
Mercedes M-Class SUV 2014 review: http://bit.ly/19X3Fod Subscribe to the Carbuyer YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/17k4fct Subscribe to Auto Express: http://subscribe.autoexpress.co.uk/cb The latest generation of the Mercedes M-Class was introduced in late 2011 as Mercedes lifted its game against rivals that have emerged in the decade since it spawned this segment: the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne and BMW X5. The M-Class is nearly four-metres long and has a massive load area, regardless of which of model you choose. The ML 250 starts the range with a 202bhp 2.1-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel, then there's the volume-selling ML 350 with its 255bhp V6 turbodiesel. If it's power you're after rather than efficiency, there's the ML 63 AMG complete with 518bhp 5.5-litre twin turbo V8 -- the most powerful Mercedes 4x4 ever sold. All offer luxurious equipment levels, fit and finish as well as an imposing road presence.

The car is a little on the pricey side as all German cars are. There are many different packages on this car and most likely you may have to order one of these. Navigation System is nice and intuitive clear and easy to read screen. Also, the voice recognition is Super Good, one of the best Iv'e tried out.

Actually both of these crosses with MTB pod parents look like they
have MTB on both parents side of the parentage.
They both have typical MTB forms and show no influence from hoped for
It is very possible to produce seeds from a crosss of a tet and a
biploid parent. It hapens much more readily from tet pollen on biploid
pod parent. This is a result of a tendency of the pod parent to
produce a certain small percentage of unreduced gamettes. This is a
result of erors in the reproductive cell division. I know of no
reason of why there should be any difference between SDB and TB
parents. But in any case I have made several tet TB on dip MTB
crosses that worked, with iris. You know you have a take from looking
at the seeds. There are very few seeds in the pod, and they often are
initially larger then the dip produces. I say initially larger as
sometimes the endosperm (seed nourishment material) dies off as the
seeds mature. I won't fgo into the reason for this, but it is an
intersting part of the pollination process.
Some of the seeds will germinate, but many more don't.
Last year I made about 40 crosses of tet daylily pollon on a dip
daylily.(the equivalent of TB X MTB cross) About 15 pods formed.
About 1-4 seeds per pod as versus normal count of about 15-40. Of
these seeds only about 5-6 remained plump, the others became very
flat, with lack of endosperm tissue. Two germinated. Others who have
made tet on dip daylily crosses get about the same. allthough they
don't report a high a percentage of flat seeds.
There are genetic papers and data in books supporting what I'm saying,
as well as personal experience. My first attempt was done in
ignorence. the rest after I read the scientific literature.
As far as I know, all SDB are 8/8/12/12. There may be a few rare
exceptions, but very rare. Smooth, an SDB introduced by Craig is
eported to be 12/12/12/12/ . SDB produce gamettes of 8/12 based on
their amphidiploid composition and all seedlings from SDB X SDB will
have 8/8/12/12 composition.
You do have variations in MDB and IB as some 8/8/12/12 plants can be
MDB in height and some can be IB in height.

I'm sorry to disappoint you Brock, but there might be an
explanation to this seedling : my knowledge of genetics i null.
But I've been contacted off-line by a genetics expert who explained to
me that MTB X SDB crosses were absolutely possible, SDB being
12-12-8-8, or 12-8-8-8, or 12-12-12-8 therefore would be compatible
with diplo 12-12 MDBs (still, like pumilas,some rare SDBs are
tetraploid 8-8-8-8, but it's not the case of Hot, involved in the first
For the second cross, it would seem that a bee got there first before i
used High Master, TB being 12-12-12-12, which would make them
incompatible with12-12- MTBs.
Still, since there are still some MTBs in bloom now in the garden, i
will try to systematically pollinate the just-opened-ones with TBs,
just to test the theory.
That's exciting!

The only reason one would ever state that is because they are so unnecessarily terrified if anything even remotely gay that they can't stand the idea of doing that easy achievement, and it's a very insecure thing to say.
It's not really any more random than other achievements for doing random things. There's one for kissing 25 girls, too, but I've never seen anyone complain about that one.

I have it. You can boost it by doing Tag Ladder as you get time towards both characters even if you only use one of the two. I doubt -anyone- has unlocked the achievement by legitimately playing all characters for 24 hours, spilling 10k gallons of blood, landing 100 X-rays and whatever else the requirements are to gain mastery of a character.
The hardest part is grinding out the X-rays and what not. The time issue can just be done while you're away or whatever.

Accountability, Liability, and the War on Terror - Constitutional Tort Suits as Truth and Reconciliation Vehicles
George D. Brown
Boston College Law School
January 7, 2011
Florida Law Review, Vol. 63, No. 1, 2011
Boston College Law School Legal Studies Research Paper No. 216
This Article examines the role of civil suits in providing accountability for the Bush administration's conduct of the "war on terror." There have been calls for a "Truth and Reconciliation Commission" to perform this function, almost like a retroactive impeachment of President Bush. For now, the idea appears to be dead, especially since many of the policies have continued under President Obama. Increasingly, the default accountability mechanism for questioning government conduct is the array of civil suits against federal officials by self-proclaimed victims of the war, cases which might be referred to as reverse war on terror suits. Many of these suits are high profile, including Ashcroft v. Iqbal, Padilla v. Yoo, and Arar v. Ashcroft.
These suits often fail at the threshold. This Article examines the specific reasons for these failures-including the Bivens doctrine, qualified immunity, and the state secrets privilege-and explores their underlying causes. It identifies both a systemic hesitation to use the tort suit as a vehicle for questioning government policy and an enhanced hesitation when the policy involves national security, an area of high judicial deference to the government. In addition to these problems, the Article concludes that the suits, like the commission proposal, suffer from the same retributive motivation and premises. The legal climate that reverse war on terror suits face may become more receptive. Perhaps, however, the goal of accountability should be re-examined and sought through other means.

Diversified Soft Tissue Therapy
The staff members at Diversified Soft Tissue Therapy have several means of relieving bodily aches and improving athletic performance. However, they typically don't prescribe anything until they've performed a postural analysis, which uses high-tech software to help chart the course of each client's treatment. Treatments may include anything from a soothing massage to Pilates classes, which strengthen the core and lengthen muscles. The staff is also there for clients outside of the office: they provide them with custom home-care plans, which include tutorials and access to a personalized video library for all of the information they'll need to maintain results on their own.

The incidence of overweight and obesity continue to escalate in all age groups of the US population. Because excess adiposity is associated with increased risk for chronic disease and mortality it is essential that we develop an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that are in place to regulate adiposity and how environmental factors can make these mechanisms ineffectual. This proposal focuses on how the adipocyte derived cytokine leptin modifies whole body energy metabolism and adipocyte metabolism. It appears that there are at least three different stages of leptin responsiveness in experimental animals treated with physiological doses of the hormone: a) leptin sensitivity that facilitates a loss of body fat in response to leptin b) partial leptin resistance that leads to an increase in adiposity in response to leptin and c) full leptin resistance that prevents any metabolic response to peripherally administered leptin. This proposal focuses on the second condition. The first Specific Aim will examine the mechanistic basis of fat gain in rats that are partially leptin resistant. The proposed studies will test the hypothesis that when peripherally administered leptin is unable to increase activity of leptin receptors located in the forebrain, but can stimulate receptors in the hindbrain and/or periphery, then there is a shift in energy balance and metabolic status that favors fat deposition. Successful completion of this Aim will determine the conditions required and mechanisms responsible for acceleration of body fat gain in conditions of partial leptin-resistance. These studies will provide important new information on how environmental factors decrease the efficacy of mechanisms responsible for the regulation of body fat content and may even promote weight gain. The second Specific Aim includes studies that will identify the location of leptin receptors responsible for the accretion of fat in partially leptin resistant animals. Successful completion of this Aim will provide opportunities to modulate activity of endogenous factors that lead to the accumulation of white fat, and thus prevent, or reverse, obesity.
Because excessive adiposity is associated with a significant increase in risk for a large number of chronic diseases the epidemic of obesity represents a major economic and societal burden. Studies described in this proposal will examine how leptin, a cytokine that is released from adipose tissue, promotes fat gain in conditions of partial leptin resistance. This will provide important new information on how environmental factors modify mechanisms responsible for regulating the size of body fat stores and may even promote weight gain.
