Unpoly comes with a number of tricks to shorten the latency between browser and server.
Unpoly caches server responses for a few minutes,
making requests to these URLs return instantly.
All Unpoly functions and selectors go through this cache, unless
you explicitly pass a { cache: false }
option or set an up-cache="false"
The cache holds up to 70 responses for 5 minutes. You can configure the cache size and expiry using
, or clear the cache manually using up.proxy.clear()
Also the entire cache is cleared with every non-GET
request (like POST
or PUT
If you need to make cache-aware requests from your custom JavaScript,
use up.ajax()
Unpoly also lets you speed up reaction times by preloading links when the user hovers over the click area (or puts the mouse/finger down). This way the response will already be cached when the user releases the mouse/finger.
You can listen to the up:proxy:slow
event to implement a spinner
that appears during a long-running request.
Other Unpoly modules contain even more tricks to outsmart network latency:
Links with an up-preload
attribute will silently fetch their target
when the user hovers over the click area, or when the user puts her
mouse/finger down (before releasing). This way the
response will already be cached when the user performs the click,
making the interaction feel instant.
Makes a request to the given URL and caches the response. If the response was already cached, returns the HTML instantly.
Makes the proxy assume that newRequest
has the same response as the
already cached oldRequest
Removes all cache entries.
Returns a cached response for the given request.
Returns true
if the proxy is currently waiting
for a request to finish. Returns false
Returns true
if the proxy is not currently waiting
for a request to finish. Returns false
Manually removes the given request from the cache.
Manually stores a promise for the response to the given request.
This event is emitted before an AJAX request is starting to load.
This event is emitted when the response to an AJAX request has been received.
This event is emitted when AJAX requests have taken long to finish, but have finished now.
This event is emitted when AJAX requests are taking long to finish.

and plus, how did you already have enough money to buy a house?
Posted 01 October 2013 - 12:47 PM
No, it's an apartment I purchased for $400,000. It's on top of a high rise in Vinewood hills. Definitely not in SP.
Posted 01 October 2013 - 12:53 PM
Can someone please help me? How do I invite people into my apartment?
Posted 01 October 2013 - 12:55 PM
Dude, shut the f*ck up. You, and your friends, are not in a game together because there is no game to join. Stop trolling.
Posted 01 October 2013 - 12:58 PM Edited by adra12, 01 October 2013 - 01:00 PM.
For them to get into your safehouse or garage, they must buzz you at the entrance while you are inside. This will give you a popup asking if you want to let the player in or not.
You must be in the same open world game.
You must be inside the safehouse or garage at the time.
Also all cars in your garage are locked unless you get i first, to prevent people from taking your cars without your permission.
P.S. I see someone is using the buy for real money option because I know you didn't get 400k already in game.

Oh and as for you Mr f*ck Knuckle, I AM in a game, with at least 5 of my friends, now enjoying my apartment.
So, f*ck. OFF.
Thank you.

I have the same apartment lol all you do is hold select/back for the interaction menu. First option is invite to apartment.
Thanks Chrome for the answer, I was wondering this myself.
Posted 13 October 2013 - 12:11 AM
one of my members cant enter my house.... why is that?
I had the same problem today, I had 3 people in the same crew as me and everything doing bong hits and getting lap dances in an apartment and it wouldn't give me the blue circle to use the intercom or whatever to join... so I was trying to figure out whats up.
I'll get him to invite me in next time.

A special issue of Marine Drugs (ISSN 1660-3397).

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The marine environment is a vast source of natural products. The biodiversity found in the oceans is remarkable and it has only begun to be explored recently, when compared with terrestrial habitats. The molecular variety associated with this biodiversity represents a challenge for drug discovery. Nevertheless, screening and pharmacological evaluation of marine natural products as potential drug leads has taken a giant leap in the past two decades. As a result, the first drug of marine origin has obtained approval by the FDA on December 31st 2004. Prialt, a peptide (an ω-conotoxin) isolated from a cone snail (Conus magus), has been approved for the treatment of chronic pain as a morphine replacement therapy and it is the most powerful painkiller known to date. This landmark event is evidence that a new wave of "Drugs from the Sea" with novel pharmacologies for the treatment of an array of diseases and conditions is on its way. This issue of Marine Drugs is dedicated to "Marine Peptides". Whether these compounds are ribosomally-expressed, such as the conotoxins and sea anemone toxins, or enzymatically-produced peptides, they are of great interest as drug leads and for drug development. We hope that the manuscripts here included will cover several aspects of recent developments within the field.

In 1936, Toyota entered the passenger car market with its Model AA and held a competition to establish a new logo emphasizing speed for its new product line. After receiving 27,000 entries, one was selected that additionally resulted in a change of its monikor to "Toyota" from the family name "Toyoda." It was believed that the new name sounded better and its eight-stroke count in the Japanese language was associated with wealth and good fortune. The original logo no longer is found on its vehicles but remains the corporate emblem used in Japan.
Still, there were no guidelines for the use of the brand name, "TOYOTA", which was used throughout most of the world, which led to inconsistencies in its worldwide marketing campaigns.
To remedy this, Toyota introduced a new worldwide logo in October 1989 to commemorate the 50th year of the company, and to differentiate it from the newly released luxury Lexus brand. The logo made its debut on the 1989 Toyota Celsior and quickly gained worldwide recognition. There are three ovals in the new logo that combine to form the letter "T", which stands for Toyota. The overlapping of the two perpendicular ovals inside the larger oval represent the mutually beneficial relationship and trust that is placed between the customer and the company while the larger oval that surrounds both of these inner ovals represent the "global expansion of Toyota's technology and unlimited potential for the future."

I've identified as pagan for 14 years but only been able to practice openly for 8 years as I grew up in a very Christian household where my beliefs were not welcome.
I have three children and hope to share ideas on introducing them to paganism. I also have a very Christian family and dealing with that is always a challenge, so I've had experience in that I can share.
More individuals and occasionally online information have influenced me than books.
Eclectic, I'm a little too Libra for my own good and can see the benefits of many paths.
Family friendly meetings are of big interest to me. My children are getting to the point where they could really benefit from other pagans in their lives, as the Christian influence is becoming overwhelming.
I've identified with paganism for a long while but never really connected with others offline. My family is very Christian and have been trying to convert my children especially and I hope to find things we can do as a family as well as individually.
If for nothing else, good food, good people, good times.

Britain is pressing for Zimbabwe to be suspended from the organisation after last week's elections, which saw Mr Mugabe returned to power with widespread evidence of intimidation and vote-rigging.
A panel of South African President Thabo Mbeki, Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo and Australian Prime Minister John Howard has been asked to rule on whether to punish Zimbabwe, with penalties including suspension.
However Mr Mbeki and Mr Obasanjo emerged from talks with Mr Mugabe in Harare yesterday talking of compromise. They also met defeated opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai, now facing charges of treason, whose Movement for Democratic Change has promised to release election statistics soon that differ greatly from government results.
Commonwealth election observers warned in an interim report that the ballot had not been free and fair, but there were doubts as to whether today's meeting, at Marlborough House in London, would back up their findings.

Next April, Microsoft ends support for the venerable Windows XP operating system. It's a red letter date for government, as many agencies are still using XP for certain applications. Overall, about 37 percent of all computers worldwide are still running XP too. After April 8 Microsoft will no longer deploy security or development patches. If trouble begins brewing after that date, agencies will be on their own.
There are lots of reasons agencies don't upgrade. Perhaps their applications run well under XP, or they have a large database that would need to make the jump, or they just don't want to face the possible downtime associated with bringing up a new OS. And then there is the fear that a bad migration can ruin files and bring work to a screeching halt.
The Zinstall WinWin software suite can ease XP migration for agencies and end users. It's available for $119, and government buyers are eligible for a 7 percent discount off that price.
To test the software, we set up two migration scenarios that government users might face. In the first scenario, files and programs on a machine running Windows XP were moved to a new box running Windows 7, which is how a user working from home might make the change. We wanted to make sure that all of the files and programs made the transition and that they were able to run on the new operating system. In the second scenario, we loaded Windows 7 on a machine that had been running Microsoft Vista and checked to ensure that everything still worked and no downtime disrupted operations. In this case it was the same machine running a new OS, but we wanted all of the files, folders and programs to run under the new OS.
In the first scenario, the system running Microsoft XP had an old version of Word installed, several programs, and a copy of Outlook Express 6, which can't be installed on a Windows 7 system due to compatibility problems.
To perform this test, we installed Zinstall on both the computer running XP and the new system running Windows 7. When prompted, we connected systems to each other using a network cable. Then we ran Zinstall on the original XP machine. After the program was told which computer it was sitting on, it went into a waiting state while we also ran the program on the new machine.
The transfer took about 14 minutes, though that could vary wildly depending on how many files and programs need to make the jump. Once finished, all of our XP programs were listed as available on the Windows 7 machine. Interestingly, Outlook Express 6 made the jump, even though compatibility problems would have prevented it from being installed on the Windows 7 machine the traditional way. However, Windows 7 Professional has an XP Mode that will allow it to run older programs in a shell mode, as Outlook Express was set to run in this case.
In the end, we were able to send emails and successfully test the programs, so everything worked fine. The transfer to a new machine and OS was painless and 100 percent accurate.
Our enterprise-type test involved moving files and programs to a new OS on the same machine, upgrading our Vista box to Windows 7. Several programs and data files were installed on the Vista machine to see how they would work once the OS changed hands.
In a typical business case, the Zinstall program would be run automatically by selecting "machine to container" for every machine about to upgrade. We did this process manually and used an external hard drive instead of our test network to ensure a pristine testing environment.
Like with the transfer tests from one computer to the next, the process of copying files off the host computer to the external hard drive took about 15 minutes. This would differ depending on the speed of the connection and the size of the files, but shouldn't take more than an hour unless the machine is being used as a storage repository. Once the files were saved, we installed Windows 7 on the old machine, wiping out Vista all together.
The process of bringing the files back to the computer is the reverse of the saving process. In this case we simply selected a "container to machine" copy. Had the transfer been done over a network, each container could easily be sent back down to its old machine with the new OS. In our case, it was streamed off the portable hard drive in the same way.
Once completed, all the old icons right down to the file folders on the desktop were the same. Our connection to online programs like Box or Yammer didn't show any difference either. Everything from the old machine, including programs, settings, files and personalization choices were now set up on the new Windows 7 system.
Over the years, we have performed hundreds of OS migrations in the lab. Some went smoothly while others were a complete disaster. Moving from XP to Windows 7 or 8 is going to be a big jump because the technologies are different. Incompatibility of programs is also going to be an issue for a lot of users.
If a program like Zinstall can help head off many of those problems, it's going to be a worthwhile investment to administrators tasked with changing out large numbers of systems or users desperate to keep their important files safe and functioning even as everything else around them changes.

Zinstall did exactly what it said it would do and within a short period of time I was using my new Dell and except for the wonderful new performance upgrades I would think I'm still on my old over-the-hill machine. Thanks for such a wonderful product to help make these dreaded migrations a lot easier to perform!
Software did not work for me on 2 migrations. Moving from XP - 32 bit to Win 7 - 64 bit. Lots of problems with applications not working after migration. Just do it manually and save your money. They will NOT refund your money if it does not work for you!
I can confirm that their products can transfer application servers. My agency used for 2 units. both 2008 R2.
We've managed to use WinWin for XP to 8 migration. Still don't get how they do it. But it did do it, so yeah.
Thanks! Used it in 2 of our local offices, worked just fine.

Citibank, battered by the recent fraud in which an employee siphoned out Rs 300 crore by duping the bank's customers into investing in fraudulent schemes, is now screening all its outstanding mid-to-big-ticket size loans. The bank is also going through all its financial transactions with a fine toothcomb.
The bank's internal audit team is now screening existing loans, repayment patterns, and investments apart from other details to prevent similar fallout that had scarred the bank's reputation in India, a bank source said.
Several other banks, including a few government-owned ones have also adopted a similar exercise to ensure that loans do not turn bad and customers aren't taken for a ride through well-veiled schemes and attractive offers. The average time taken to sanction large-ticket loans have also gone up since December, with banks following a rigorous scrutiny process.
"Citibank has undertaken an exercise to go though all critical operational, audit and financial records to ensure that there are no suspicious dealings," a senior executive at Citibank told HT on the condition of anonymity.
The official spokesperson of Citibank however did not respond to HT's questions.
Several state owned banks have adopted the same strategy, said the CMD of a public sector bank . "Before sanctioning any loan, we are going through a stringent screening process."

The power of the Orb
They are small, round, and quite beautiful. But turn them on, and everything about them is big: a big, beautiful sound usually reserved for much larger speakers. A big change aesthetically over those clunky old behemoths of sound. A big difference in the way theyre made. And a big improvement over speakers costing 2 to 3 times their price.

Here's a simple rule of thumb you can use to find out.AdvertisementKegs of beer are appealing because they provide a lot of beer for less, you don't end up with a bunch of cans and bottles lying around, and you don't have to make room in your fridge for everybody's six-pack. Still, you probably don't need one at your Super Bowl party. As Allison Russo at The Kitchn explains, a standard beer keg in the U.S. comes in at about 15.5 gallons, which is roughly equal to 165 12-ounce bottles of beer. That's about four beers for 41 people, or eight beers for 20. That's a lot of beer. Most parties won't need that much, but if you're hosting an all-day gathering for a large group of people it could still be worth it—especially if you get a quarter barrel keg instead. But honestly, if you have less than 35 people coming over, you should probably just pick up a few cases. You'll get more variety anyway.Should You Just Get a Keg? | The KitchnAdvertisementPhoto by Jenn Durfey.Patrick firstname.lastname@example.com@mr_patrickallanStaff Writer, Lifehacker.comReply94 repliesLeave a reply

Trailer Reveal AS YOU LAY SLEEPING by Katlyn Duncan
Timeless with a Twist from Sharon Chriscoe Author of RACE CAR DREAMS
I'm very excited for today's guest on the Observation Desk is the author of the picture book RACE CAR DREAMS. The boys got this one for Christmas and love it! Sharon is doing a one-day Amazon giveaway on Wednesday, so make sure to check out my Twitter (@katielcarroll) or author Facebook page on Wednesday for details on that. Welcome, Sharon!
Timeless with a Twist
by Sharon Chriscoe
Thanks for having me, Katie! When I think about my favorite children's books, one simple word comes to mind:
A book that will not only hold up to reading after reading, but also generation after generation. A book that can be a treasured gift passed down through a family line or holds special memories of days gone by.
Some of my all-time favorite children's books are: The Velveteen Rabbit, The Little Engine That Could, Corduroy, Little Bear (series) and Goodnight Moon. Each of these books has one special quality in common. They are timeless. No matter if they were read in the 1920's or in 2017, their message is still important and needs to be shared, and loved.
Today's market is in some ways very much the same as it has always been. Classics are still as popular as ever. Children or animals are the most common main characters. And friendship, love, perseverance, and bedtime routines are always hot topics.
However, like most other things, books are evolving. One example of how children's books are evolving is when an author adds a twist to the story. By adding twists to their book, the author brings something fresh and new to their story and in return making it a timeless treasure that will enlighten children for decades.
Children's book twists can take place in a classic plot, such as Mary Had A Little Glam by Tammi Sauer, or Goldilocks and The Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems, in where both authors use a familiar fairy tale but change the plot, setting, or point of view. These books are called fractured fairy tales.
Other examples of a twist can be by portraying unusual characters, such as Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast by Josh Funk, where the main characters are yes . . . just as the title suggests, a lady pancake and a sir French toast. Or The Day The Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt, a story told from the point of view of a box of crayons.
Theme is also an effective way to add a twist to your book. In Be A Friend by Salina Yoon, the theme is friendship and acceptance. But the twist is that Salina uses a mime to tell her story. Dennis, her main character, never speaks a word, yet the 'reader' hears every one.
Another example of a twist can be seen in my picture book, Race Car Dreams. The twist combines both an unusual character and its theme, where a little race car does the same bedtime rituals as a child. This enables children to see themselves in the book's little Race Car as he prepares to settle in for a good night's sleep. By imagining that race cars also wind down their engines with a bath, a good story, and a full tummy, children are both soothed and entertained, and drift happily off to dreamland.
So, the next time you're looking for a new picture book idea, let your mind wander and see where the twists take you–and you might find yourself writing a timeless book of your own!
RACE CAR DREAMS blurb:
After a day at the track of zipping and zooming, a race car is tired and ready for bed. He washes his rims, fills his tummy with oil, and chooses a book that is all about speed. All toasty and warm, he drifts off to sleep, he shifts into gear . . . and dreams of the race!
Find RACE CAR DREAMS at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

February #InkRipples: Tackling Common Misconceptions About Genre
In February, join the conversation as Mary Waibel, Kai Strand, and Katie L. Carroll talk genres for this month's #InkRipples posts.
There are lots of ways to define genre in literature (see the dictionary definition of "genre" or the Wikipedia entry on "literary genre"). For our intents and purposes of today's discussion, let me specify by saying that when I'm talking about genre, I mean as they are defined in modern publishing, not necessarily limited to genre fiction (which contains certain popular genres) but sticking to fiction.
Specifically, I want to address common misconceptions about genre. If you've ever done any research on genre yourself, you'll see it can be quite contentious, so I don't expect everyone to agree with me here. Let's dig right in…
Misconception 1 – Age Categories Are Genres
One key to understanding genre is to know what it's not. I often see people refer to YA (young adult) as a genre. It's not, no more than adult fiction is a genre. YA is a category that designates a target age range for its readers and will center around characters of that age group. That's not to say that readers out of the target age range won't enjoy those books (you all know I mostly read YA, and I'm in my 30s). The same goes for middle grade–it's not a genre but an age category.
Misconception 2 – Genre Is Easy To Define
So what is a genre? So-called "popular genres" or "genre fiction" include fantasy, science fiction, horror, mystery, romance, and thriller, among others. A story in one of these genres will follow the conventions of its genre and comes with certain expectations from readers. For example, you can expect a fantasy story to include fantastical elements that don't exist in our world. Each popular genre has its own conventions, though there certainly can be overlap.
What about literary fiction? Is that a genre in and of itself? You certainly wouldn't call literary fiction a popular genre as it cannot be defined by the genre conventions of those popular genres. Literary fiction tends to focus on the human condition and themes rather than plot. It's more an absence of popular genre, but in publishing, I would say it's considered its own genre. There are still expectations from a reader about what they will get with literary fiction, and you'll find it as a category in book stores.
Are contemporary and historical genres? There's some debate here. They denote whether a story takes place in a historical time period or in contemporary times, but you also have to take into consideration when the book was written. A story written in the 1980s about stuff that happened in the 1980s was contemporary then, but a YA story written today about stuff that happened in the 1980s is historical. You can have a contemporary romance or a historical one, but there's also just historical fiction that deals with a historical time period or event but with fictional elements. Historical doesn't necessarily have elements of mystery or romance or thriller, but a reader would have certain expectations from an historical novel. Contemporary is tricky because it usually fits into one of the popular genres, and if it doesn't, it's probably considered literary fiction.
Complicating the issue of genres even more is sub-genres and novels that can fit into more than one genre. Paranormal is a sub-genre of fantasy that specifically includes a heavy focus on paranormal elements, often in the form of mythical or magical creatures (i.e. TWILIGHT). A fantasy story can have paranormal elements but can also be categorized as fantasy and not necessarily paranormal. What about a story set in a futuristic world with science-fiction elements that also has heavy romance elements? Is it science fiction or romance? It may be categorized as both (a science-fiction romance) or may be categorized with the more dominant one, and people may not agree on which one is more prevalent.
Misconception 3 – Literary Fiction Is More Serious Than Genre Fiction
It's been said that literary fiction is about confronting reality while genre fiction is about escaping reality. Literary fiction is often said to deal deeper with character and uses plot as a secondary device, but I've read plenty of genre fiction that gets deep into character while also having a riveting plot. Writing quality of literary fiction is also often lauded as superior to genre fiction, but I think the quality of writing largely depends on who's doing the writing and not so much on genre (read Laini Taylor's DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE for a lyrical and beautifully written fantasy story). So while it might be true that you're more likely to study literary fiction in school and read genre fiction on your own time (though school's are delving into popular fiction more than ever), that doesn't necessarily make literary fiction more serious.
In fact, as a writer of fantasy, mystery, and thrillers, I would fight you to the death (strictly in a fantastical world, of course!) to argue that genre fiction can be, and often is, as serious as literary fiction. In fact, I think genre fiction can be very effective at commenting on reality and providing a deeper understanding of our own world, but it also gives that reality a more palatable context by using the conventions of genre fiction. The lens of genre fiction can almost make it easier to comment on and gain perspective of current issues of our world.
This discussion of genre has gotten longer than I intended, so I'm going to stop with these three misconceptions. Do you think I totally missed the mark on genre? Or maybe I missed something big that you'd like to see discussed in a future post. I'd love to hear your thoughts on literary genres.
#InkRipples is a monthly meme created by Katie L. Carroll, Mary Waibel, and Kai Strand. We pick a topic (February is all about genres), drop a ripple in the inkwell (i.e. write about it on our blogs), and see where the conversation goes. We'd love to have you join in the conversation on your own blogs or on your social media page. Full details and each month's topic can be found on my #InkRipples page.
The Highly Charged Political Environment We Are In
I know I've been quiet on the blog lately. In part because I've been making it a priority to be noisy in real life and the blog has taken a backseat to that. But it's not just that.
This blog–my Observation Desk–has always served as a safe space for me to share my thoughts. I've pointedly strayed away from highly charged political and controversial topics. Not necessarily censoring myself, but being careful in order to keep this a safe space…for myself and for those of you who actively participate here (and I'm incredibly thankful for all of you who take time out of your day to read my posts). It's always served as one of my favorite creative spaces, and I've protected it to keep it positive because that's what I've needed from it. I've needed to feel safe here in order to create.
I've seen how people (particularly woman and POC) can be harassed and attacked on the Internet for their thoughts and beliefs. In the past, I've protected myself and this space from that. I've had that privilege when others haven't. I recognize that.
But right now, in the U.S.'s current political climate, everything has become political. Literature and art have always been political, but now the very places we shop, the causes we choose to support and donate to, whether or not we speak up..it's all political. This is new to me, though I know this idea of life in general not being political is not new to others.
So I'm confronting my own decision to keep this a "safe" space. I'm confronting and recognizing my own privilege in ways I never have before. I'm listening and learning from people who do not have the luxury of having a privilege like mine, and I'm believing what they say. I'm challenging the lawmakers from my state and beyond to stand up for what is right by making phone calls, writing emails, standing with others, and voicing my beliefs in a way I never have before.
My perspective has shifted so much in the last year. I see the world in a different, often scarier, light than I used to. But this world that feels so new to me is an old world for many who have been fighting oppression and racism for their whole lives. I don't always know the best way to act or react, and I have to fight my default to stay quiet and think that this isn't my fight and to wonder what my voice can possibly bring to the table. I'm not always successful in my attempts, but I'm learning and listening, always listening.
I'm not saying any of this because I'm turning this blog into something new or different. Having a creative space and keeping my sanity enough to be able to create stories for kids is important. It's always been a political act (as I said earlier, I believe all literature is), and the urgency of its importance is even more evident to me now.
The Observation Desk will still be a place to share creative thoughts and works, but I couldn't ignore this part of me that was staying quiet here (I get a lot more political on Twitter @KatieLCarroll if you're interested in checking that out). It felt dishonest, like I was keeping a secret, even though I wasn't necessarily keeping it a secret (if you know me in real life, my political thoughts are certainly not a secret). So I may delve into that part of myself here more often.
With all that is going on in this country and around the world, it's still going to be a big year for me personally and as an author. I'll be sharing more about both of those aspects of my life here on this blog. I'll continue to bring you guest posts, lots more #InkRipples each month, and pictures of the boys. This blog will continue to focus on creativity and books, no doubt about that. But now you know there's been a lot more on my mind lately, and I'm happy to share that part of me with you (even though it feels like a messy, unfinished part of myself).
So stay tuned to learn more about my creative works-in-progress and the work-in-progress that is Katie as well!

New Delhi, August 13: The Aam Admi Party (AAP) was today stuck by a revolt with one of its top founding leaders Shanti Bhushan questioning his organisational ability and competence, triggering demand for his resignation. The outburst by the 88-year-old Bhushan, the party Patron and an eminent lawyer, comes on top of simmering discontent in the party over the way it is run and complaints by some leaders there was "lack of democracy" at a time when it has to prepare for the assembly elections in Delhi.
"Arvind (Kejriwal) is a great leader and a great campaigner, but in my opinion he lacks organisational ability. He does not have the kind of competence which can spread the message of the party all over India, which can quickly create elected structures of the party which nobody will be able to blame," Bhushan, a former union law minister, said. "Therefore this delay of two years in getting the elected structures in place is a great handicap. This is resulting in different voices," he said.
Bhushan's attack on Kejriwal, National Convenor, was sought to be downplayed by party leaders Yogendra Yadav and Ashutosh but Shazia Ilmi, another founder leader who had quit the party recently, joined the attack on Kejriwal. Dissident MLA Vinod Kumar Binny that Kejriwal should resign from the party. "He said after the demand by senior leader like Shanti Bhushan, Kejriwal should not stay in the post if he has any sense of dignity left in him," he said.
However, the party has said that it does not agree with the comments made by Bhushan. "The criticism by Bhushan, who is himself one of the founding members of the party, on this issue is misplaced. "The biggest example of internal democracy is the party's decision to contest Lok Sabha elections on a large number of seats, despite opposition from the AAP national convenor, Arvind Kejriwal," the party said.
AAP leader Prashant Bhushan, son of Shanti Bhushan, also differed with his father saying he has expressed his personal opinion which would have been better if he had discussed it in the party forum rather than go public with it. "I think it has become a fashion to say that there is no internal democracy in the party. AAP is a true reflection on how democracy functions in a party," Prashant Bhushan said.
AAP had last month sacked Karan Singh, a senior volunteer, after he along with other party workers formed AAP Volunteers Vichar Manch (AVAM) to raise issues concerning volunteers, complaining lack of internal democracy in the party. Shanti Bhushan had come out in support of AVAM. Shanti Bhushan said that since Kejriwal was not an elected leader he cannot claim to be the sole voice of the party.
"Today, since he does not owe his position as an elected person by all India members of the party, therefore, he cannot say his voice is the sole voice of the party. Possibly, he thinks that because the National Council appointed him as convenor of the National Executive which is why he probably feels his voice is the main", he said. AAP said that Shanti Bhushan was upset over the party's decision not to contest the coming Haryana Assembly elections.
"He (Shanti Bhushan) had his own views on the issue, but the party's National Executive and the Political Affairs Committee decided against contesting Haryana elections. "(Shanti) Bhushan has access to everyone in the party and his colleagues expect him to raise any issue which he considers important, with them, as a senior. It is unfortunate that he has aired his views publicly," the party said in a statement.
Shanti Bhushan said that in order to spread the party across the country, Kejriwal should share his responsibilities. "He (Kejriwal) should reorganise the functions. So far spreading the party all over India, he should share the responsibility with someone else who has enough time and enough talent in organisational work. "He should remain the chief campaigner and the face of the party because he has those qualities. He is very sharp and a great strategist but it is important for the party that his message reaches across the country," Bhushan Sr said.
He also criticised Kejriwal for resigning as the Delhi Chief Minister. Terming the move as "political immaturity", Bhushan said that the AAP National Convenor did not consult him while taking such a major step. "It is a sign of political immaturity. He should have consulted experienced people before taking that decision. He admits that he made that mistake. He has assured me that he would consult me on important issues," he said. The party said that it was still evolving and addressing the organisational concerns.
"The AAP was formed less than two years back and is still in the evolving process. Many of the organisational concerns are being addressed as a part of the ongoing developmental process. "At this juncture the party is gearing up for fresh assembly elections in Delhi and the organisational preparation is at an advanced stage," the party said in its statement. Meanwhile, former AAP leader Shazia Ilmi, who quit the party also hit out at Kejriwal.
"I resigned from the party and I would like to echo Shanti Bhushanji's sentiments that there is indeed a lack of inner party democracy, there is a lack of organisational skills. Voice of dissent and constructive criticism is not appreciated. "A coterie is running the show and it is not doing a good job and its preventing volunteers from participating in a more self-expressed way or from taking the best decisions for the party and people," Ilmi said.

American Pickers is an American reality television series that premiered on January 18, 2010 on the History channel, produced by A&E Television Networks in collaboration with Cinefix Productions.
The show follows antique and collectible pickers Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz who travel around the United States to buy or "pick" various items for resale, for clients, or for their own personal collections. They originally travelled in a Mercedes Sprinter van and now a Ford Transit. Danielle Colby runs the office of Wolfe's business, Antique Archaeology,[1] from their home base in LeClaire, Iowa, and more recently at a second location in Nashville, Tennessee. Fritz sells his acquisitions at his own shop and on his own website,[2] Frank Fritz Finds, upriver in Savanna, Illinois.[3] The men go on the road, not only following up leads that Colby has generated, but also "free-styling" - stopping at places that look like they might hold items worth buying. They also pick some places more than once.
The series introduction is narrated by Wolfe and Fritz. The first three seasons used the complete opening. Beginning with season 4, a shortened version is used, with the portion in italics below removed:
I'm Mike Wolfe. And I'm Frank Fritz. And we're pickers. We travel the back roads of America looking to buy rusty gold.We're looking for amazing things buried in people's garages and barns. What most people see as junk, we see as dollar signs. We'll buy "anything" we think we can make a buck on. Each item we pick has a history all its own. And the people we meet? Well, they're a breed all their own.
We make a living telling the history of America...one piece at a time.
Mike and Frank explore people's homes, barns, sheds, outbuildings, and other places where they have stored antiques and collectibles. They call upon casual collectors, hoarders, and occasionally people who have inherited overwhelming collections of apparent junk. Wolfe, who has been picking since age four,[4] has a particular interest in antique motorcycles, air-cooled Volkswagens, old bicycles, and penny-farthings, while Fritz has a fondness for antique toys, oil cans, and old Hondas.[5] They have purchased old advertisements and commercial signage, film posters, a rare 15-gallon visible gasoline pump, and a Piaggio Ape (pronounced: ah-peh) that one of their friends told them is probably the only one of its kind in North America.[6][7]
In December 2011, American Pickers revealed that Antique Archaeology had leased part of a former 1914 car factory in Nashville, Tennessee, which originally made the Marathon automobile, for a second business location to decrease the distance required to haul their finds from the southern states.[8]
The series debuted on January 18, 2010. The premiere episode of American Pickers had 3.1 million viewers, making it the highest rated History channel debut since Ice Road Truckers in 2007.[9] The September 8, 2010, episode "Laurel & Hardy" garnered Nielsen ratings as high as 5.3 million viewers in the 25–54 age group. As of that episode, the show retained the title of #1 new non-fiction series of 2010 among all viewers and adults 25-54.[10]

No need for Housefly Bug Spray
I've decided to remove my first post. I think Tony convinced me to do this since it is being interprited that Mario and I are butting heads. Since this isn't true, I've removed the first post to avoid confusion. We will just say there is a difference of opinion and leave it at that.
For now I've decided to not get a Housefly. This is subject to change but thats how it is right now. Till then, please keep your HF posts coming. I do enjoy reading them! Cheers John |

We are a business and deal with many people, I thought our E-mail response to you was professional and corteous. Sorry if it was short.
Thanks. Mario www.micro-flight.com |
Maybe you should read your post again. What are you really trying to say? Sorry, I do not know your history, but as a neutral party, these words stand out to me: "For those who have been around awhile, you know that I once was one of Mario's biggest supporters. .... when I'm ready to get a HF to call. .... If I had to guess I would think he was skeptical that I was serious." Also: "I'm not posting this to discourage anyone from getting a HF..... I'll miss working with you on this one. Man this sucks! " I suggest that you pick up the phone and call Mario. It is very hard to tell emotions via email. Bet you guys can work this out, unless the bridges have been burnt pretty bad Just a thought Dave PS: Even if you do not call, have a buddy order one. But only order if you really want one and want to let Mario be Mario. Let's keep this board positive and on the "Up Side". |
Call Mario, Mario pick up the phone. All will be happy! Bill |
Latest blog entry: My New Toy!
Dave, please don't read between the lines since there isn't anything there.
Tony, no head butting anymore which does make me happy. Bill, thanks for the suggestion and I'll give it consideration. Mario, you are right with respect to you're emails being professional and corteous as well as short but we both know this isn't the problem. I'll be honest, I just don't know what to think about all of this anymore. |
Perhaps if the two parties just agree to disagree and leave it at that.
I'd like to think this forum is for expressing ideas and extending dialog for all who enjoy the hobby. Note the word, enjoy. I don't mind disagreements, but if you have a problem with a certain person, I think a private e-mail would be the preferred mothod of resolving it. |
Hi Fitz, Dave, Tony, Bill
Thank you for your suggestions. I'm curious, why is it when someone posts about MIA that it stirs up contraversy. I'm not just talking about me but just about anyone. Ok, it doesn't happen all the time but it seems too often. It doesn't even seem to matter if they are right or wrong, agree or disagree, flame or support. Maybe the answer is in Dave's response when he said "But only order if you really want one and want to let Mario be Mario". This could be the key. If you want to deal with Mario you must be willing to let Mario be Mario or it may drive you crazy. When I look at it from that presective it changes everything. Wow, to my surprize I feel really different now. I feel much better. I think I really can forget about the past and move on. Thanks Dave. Cheers John |
Glad you are feeling better and thanks for the thanks. I learned something way back, when I was a Recording Engineer. The better the Musician, the larger the "quirks" that you deal with. I mention this, as it is the very creative nature of these special types that some people do not understand. Some have very large egos, some never show up when you need them, some get very moody and hide if you hurt their feelings. Many are great on stage, but a real pain off stage. Quite a few actually have stage fright, but really come alive sitting by a campfire, or with a small group of known friends. They think on a different level / plane, which is what makes them special. Controversy? It seems to follow many of the great artistic types. Who was the best guitarist of all times? Best artist? Best designer? ... Also, I really enjoy the "music" that Mario has added to our lives. Happy Landings, Dave PS: The above mentioned "quirks" were not intended to describe Mario. Just examples of some that creative people have. PPS: Yes, it is time to get back to Heli Talk. |

Outstanding! Again - ready to hang and enjoy - has a "painterly" effect and is wonderful.
It really does look like a painting here! O.o I love how peaceful and interesting the scene in this drawing is. :) The ducks or whatever type of birds they are look like they are just haning out near the bridge hehe. xD I like the details. 5/5 & fav.
