October is, as we all know, Respect Life Month and the emphasis on protecting the lives of the unborn is an important focus for all of us who work in ministry. But as I was looking out my window in one of those picture-perfect October mornings, when the slant of light gives a crisp clarity to every edge, the flowers are still overflowing their pots and there is just the slightest hint of color behind the green of the tree leaves, I began to think about other lives that may need saving in addition to those still in the womb.
Oh yes, you may be thinking, there are poor people all over who need our help and we are doing all we can to assist them, too. However, they aren't the ones who have come to mind. The lives that may need saving are closer than that; they are yours and mine.
We all know the airplane admonition to put on our own oxygen masks before helping others, but how often do we really do that in ordinary life? I don't know about you, but all too often, I feel like it's really rather selfish of me to put me before others — the value of self-sacrifice, taking up the cross and all of that is deeply engrained in my Catholic soul. Having been raised on stories of saints who tended plague victims until they died themselves, I feel like I need to give to others first and then take what's left over for myself — if there is anything left over.
However, as I grow older and hopefully wiser, I'm beginning to see that's not really what we are supposed to do. Let's start with the foundational commandment: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." We get the "love your neighbor" part, but a lot of the time we gloss right over the second half. If we stop to analyze it, what it really says is that we are supposed to love ourselves. Not just ignore, overlook or berate, but love.
If we really treated your neighbors the way we treat ourselves what would that look like? Would we overwork them, deprive them of rest and decent food, keep them up too late and force them out of bed too early, pile more work on them, set impossible standards and then berate them when they failed to do even more? Would we insist that they be perfect spouses, parents, employees, lying in wait to pounce if they make a single mistake? So why do we do that to ourselves? It seems to me that a lot of the time we love others a whole lot more than we love ourselves, which clearly is a reversal of what we are actually commanded to do.
Then there is the pesky example of Jesus. While he did spend his ministry healing the sick, preaching the good news, and ultimately dying, he didn't spend ALL of his time doing that. He went off into the hills by himself to recoup, he took naps (even when his disciples really needed him to calm the storm), he visited the homes of friends, attended parties, visited his mother, and even had a foot massage with expensive oil! If he made time to take care of his own needs, even while presenting his world-changing message, then why don't we do the same? Is it because we are trying to be holier than Jesus? (Note: That isn't possible, so we might as well give up that goal!) Or is it because we aren't really willing to follow his example? Or could it be that we don't believe our lives are actually worth as much as the lives of others?
Both the commandment and the example of Jesus tell us that we cannot serve others, we cannot bring them life unless we take care of our own lives first. Of course, that doesn't mean becoming selfish hedonists, but it does mean that we must make sure that we respect our own "one wild and precious life," as the poet Mary Oliver says, as much as we respect the wild and precious lives of everyone else.

Speed said the ICC was happy with what the world governing body had seen in the run-up to the March-April tournament, the first time the World Cup is to be held in the Caribbean.
"There is still much to be done. The message we bring is that we are very happy with progress but we cant relax," said Speed.
"There must be great attention to detail as the venues come out the ground."
The build-up to the event has been dogged by worries over construction delays as well as the price-hikes introduced by hotels aiming to cash in on the marathon event which will draw thousands of extra tourists to the area.
New ICC President, Percy Sonn, claimed that the West Indies is further ahead than South Africa was in 2003, the venue for the last tournament.
"I think the West Indies is, relatively speaking, ahead of where South Africa was, vis-a-vis the final stages of this phase, given that they (the West Indies) are building new stadiums," said the South African-born Sonn.
"South Africa didn't build any new stadiums - they just improved on the old stadiums. I think the West Indies are fine and further than where South Africa was."
Organising committee chief executive Chris Dehring described the region as the "spiritual embryo of one-day cricket," and highlighted the overwhelming worldwide interest in the tournament as the main reason for the accommodation demand being so strong.
However, he said he is confident there will be enough of a variety of accommodation ranging from bed and breakfast programs, cruise ships and hotels for fans to choose from.
"I think this will be the most cosmopolitan Cricket World Cup. We will see people from more countries attending this World Cup than any others before," he declared, alluding to the fact that people from 124 countries have applied for tickets.

Pic: Corrie star reveals special new tattoo
Coronation Street star Bev Callard has posted images of a very special tattoo she just got done.
Callard, known to millions as Liz McDonald, unveiled the image on Twitter last night.
Got inked!! Xx pic.twitter.com/E2iEzgKAZN— Beverley Callard (@Beverleycallard) October 5, 2016
The image commemorates her marriage to husband Jon McEwan, with both their names and the date of their marriage part of the design.
The tattoo also features a love heart, a scroll of music and the theatrical masks for tragedy and comedy.
The 'Coronation Street' star has battled with depression on and off for the majority of her life but, following her crippling breakdown earlier this year, her new psychiatrist is convinced she's also dealing with another mental illness.
Speaking on 'This Morning' last month she explained: "My psychiatrist at present, he is convinced that I am bipolar too. He is convinced of it. The way he explained it to me is that I don't get these amazing highs or hallucinations.
"But I get the tremendous lows. I don't get the good bits I get the bad bits. But now I am much more even and relaxed."
The 59-year-old star was signed off work for two months in March when she was plunged into deep depression while shooting her scenes for the long-running soap after she ran out of one of the types of drugs she took for the illness.
She explained: "I was completely suicidal. I couldn't leave the house. I didn't leave the bedroom. I wouldn't take calls."
However, Beverley has now managed to find a selection of medication that controls her moods like her old drug, which was discontinued abruptly without warning earlier this year.
She said: "I'm much better. I think I tried four different medications to replace the one that was missing but I'm still on HRT [hormone replacement therapy] . I take an oestrogen gel a testosterone gel, so I think I'll be great in the Olympics and I take two different anti-depressants."

Five saints, four kings, a knight and a bishop
This week's list from the Office for Standards in Education of "improving schools" makes interesting if ambiguous reading. All of them, we are told, received "very positive" reports. Some schools will quibble. Where schools start from is important too, and there is a suggestion of affluence and continuity about the names and location of some schools on the list. With five saints, four kings, a knight and a bishop in their number, they are not exactly a cross-section of public secondary education.
They do constitute, however, a sort of official commendation, and for that we should be grateful. "These schools have particular strengths," the Chief Inspector said, "and I want publicly to recognise their success." It is a fair assumption, then, that collectively they represent something close to OFSTED's vision of good practice, for the rest to emulate. I decided to test this assumption in an area that in one school we found particularly problematic.
I had been reading Sir Rhodes Boyson's slender autobiography Speaking My Mind and had been struck by his comments on assemblies - essential, he says, to give a school "unity and to show staff and pupils that 100 per cent discipline is possible". His approach was characteristically forthright: "I took the senior assembly, standing on a gymnasium buck, and my deputy took the junior assembly. Two teachers played the piano and we sang number one hymn. We worshipped the one God, and I explained when we prayed that pupils could open or close their eyes according to the habits of their faith. I had not allowed at this stage for the small minority who prostrated themselves and knocked their neighbours over. I decided that the one God would not like anyone injured in prayer, and all were to remain standing."
Brisk, no-nonsense stuff. But how, I wondered, did the schools on the OFSTED list tackle the compulsory daily act of worship, "wholly or mainly of a broadly Christian character", that Sir Rhodes and his parliamentary colleagues wrote so firmly into the 1988 and 1992 Education Acts? I contacted each on the list and asked for a copy of those sections of their inspection report that dealt with assemblies, compulsory worship and the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of their pupils.
There are 52 schools on the list. Except that the South and South-west and the North-east are thinly represented (three citations each), the geographical spread is wide. Thirty-three of the schools are LEA-maintained, 12 are grant-maintained, and seven are voluntary-aided. All but one of the maintained schools replied immediately to my request, as did nine of the GM schools. Two others apologised: they were in the middle of an emergency evacuation because of heavy snow. Among the voluntary-aided schools - possibly more sensitive to what was said in their reports about compulsory worship and religious education - four of the seven replied with the information that I needed. The total response, therefore, was 45 schools - 86 per cent of the OFSTED list.
The picture that emerged was stark but not surprising. All but five of the responding schools - all of them, presumably, models of good practice - were reported by OFSTED to be in breach of the statutory requirement for a daily act of collective worship for all their pupils. In one further case - a large Church of England school - there was a direct clash of evidence between the section 13 diocesan report ("The school ensures that all pupils . . . receive (sic) a daily Act of Worship") and the OFSTED summary, which said, "During the week of the inspection, not all pupils participated in an act of collective worship every day. This was especially true of the sixth form." Only four schools - a GM voluntary-aided comprehensive with cathedral and choir school links, a voluntary-aided convent school, an 11-16 voluntary-aided Roman Catholic school and a voluntary controlled 11-18 suburban comprehensive - were keeping to the letter of the law.
In itself, that is fairly striking. Good legislation needs to reflect what can be done as well as what ought to be done, and a law that the virtuous cannot obey is just bad law. There is certainly ample evidence in the pages sent to me of virtuous intention. Universally, assemblies were seen as the front line of provision - but effective assemblies (pace Sir Rhodes) need time and space, neither of which respondent schools possessed in sufficient measure. Halls (where they exist: at least one school on this list has none) were always utilised; so were gymnasia ("except for the 12 weeks of the examination seasons.") After that, most schools fell back optimistically on provision for house or tutor groups in registration or tutorial time. This provision was - except in the case of the convent school identified above -almost universally found wanting. At best it was "variable", at worst, "unsatisfactory". In one instance, a Thought for the Day was "pinned to the notice board, so the pupils could reflect upon it".
Yet this last school was highly praised for the quality of its provision for its pupils. "Through the pastoral system, religious education, assemblies and personal and social education the school expresses its Christian background and provides opportunities for pupils to reflect and apply Christian teaching to their own spiritual and moral development."
The paradox is far from accidental. Over and over again in the pages of these reports, the quality of assemblies that fail to meet the letter of the law is singled out for careful comment. "Assemblies take place twice a week and are stimulating and effective contributions to pupils' spiritual, moral and cultural development." "Some assemblies do provide a powerful vehicle for the act of worship." "Whole school assemblies are well supported by the staff and are used to promote the values of the school." "Assemblies provide a sense of occasion and encourage pupils to reflect on moral issues." "Care is taken to create an atmosphere conducive to worship and reflection." "Assemblies make an important contribution to the ethos of the school."
There is ample evidence of that in the reports that I received. There is evidence, too, of what all of these schools clearly have in common: a clear and effective concern for the ethos that they create and the values that they share. A typical comment, repeated in slightly different words in 20 inspectorial reports, reads: "The school is a moral community. There is a positive code of conduct, constructive and supportive attitudes and good behaviour . . . and a general respect for . . . others. Pupils are developing a reasoned set of values . . . Relationships are open and honest ." And then the caveat: "The legal requirements in relation to a collective act of worship are not being met."
Does that matter? No, most governors and heads would say: not unless the pressure to conform to the letter of the law reaches the point where we begin to sacrifice the quality of what we have achieved within its spirit; not unless the rituals of compulsion begin to erode the openness and honesty that moral and spiritual development presupposes.
The trouble is that openness and honesty do not feature largely in the Boyson assembly view, nor indeed in that of his fellow Black Paper writer Arthur Pollard. Pollard, like Sir Rhodes, has no time for "moral uplift". "All that is needed," he wrote in last week's Education, "is a hymn, a reading and a prayer. An appropriate brief address would be, of course, a bonus."
That, of course, is where we came from - there is not much evidence that it did us any good. What evidence there is, is in this list of schools - and it points the other way. What these schools are saying (and if you read the reports themselves there is a strong suggestion that the inspectors share their view) is that adherence to the letter of the law would damage their achievement. That is an interesting and sobering conclusion. Meanwhile, even in the positive and improving schools, the law is being broken. That makes neither educational nor moral nor religious sense. What Action Plan does the Government propose?

Vote "yes" on 32 for California
December 26, 2012
It's time to cut the money tie between powerful corporations and unions who will say and do anything to keep their hold on Sacramento!
A "YES on Prop. 32" would ban both corporations and unions from using mandatory employee payroll deductions for political purposes without written consent from employees. Both could still donate unlimited sums to independent expenditure campaigns, which is considered constitutionally protected free speech. But, this could be the first step toward changing the power in Sacramento from special interest money influence to grass roots organizations, small businesses, and the voters of California.
To defeat Prop 32 labor unions have donated $43 million including almost $17 million from the California Teacher's Union. Ads to defeat Prop. 32 say …" it isn't what it seems" but it is exactly what it seems.
Passing Prop 32 will help change the status quo and make our representatives in Sacramento more responsible to the voters of our state and not to the big money donors.

(The Hosting News) – Web host Distribute.IT, which was recently hacked has been acquired by NetRegistry, another Australian domain provider.
Hackers breached Distribute.IT on June 11, erasing 4,800 of its hosted sites.
From now on, NetRegistry will be assisting Distribute.IT customers during the recovery process.
Distribute.IT admitted that it had lost the sites after a security breach in which hackers accessed and deleted information, including backups and snapshots on four of the hosting company's servers.
The web hosting stated that the data was likely unrecoverable, but had said it would continue to salvage data.
In a press release on the matter, NetRegistry CEO Larry Bloch stated, "We all have a great deal of sympathy and concern for the consequences to Distribute.IT staff, management and customers of this unfortunate incident. It is important to us that all Distribute.IT customers know the extent of effort to which Distribute IT have gone to rectify the damage. Distribute.IT had a very solid reputation – that comes from doing a good job for a long time."
"I want to remind customers of that excellence and ask for their patience and support as we work through the requirements to return services to all customers as rapidly as possible," continued Bloch.
Meanwhile, technicians from NetRegistry have already arrived at Distribute.IT to assist with the recovery.
NetRegistry is also working to provide customers with a free hosting service while it sorts out all the billing information related to the acquisition.

what patients are saying about solaraze and actinic keratosis
Solaraze d going generic colorado spondylitis what foods cure
I'm a great fan of diclofenac. I have severe lumbar stenosis and osteoarthritis of the hips and knees, and could not function without some relief of the pain. Diclofenac does not relieve all of my pain, but it relieves 60-70 percent of it, or enough to allow me to have a life. For me it appears to be safe and effective. The only side -effect I've experienced is occasional mild constipation. I recommend it highly.

- Kansas head coach Bill Self announced that Kansas sophomore Anthony West, a 6'6" forward out of Shawnee Mission East High, is practicing with the team as a walk-on hopeful. "He went through (Tuesday's) walk-on tryouts," Self said. "He impressed us. He will be part of the practice squad right now, that's it. We'll evaluate him as we go forward." West told reporters, "I had one offer from Cornell [his senior year of high school] and Div. II and III offers, but Kansas is where I always wanted to go. I chose Kansas because I fell in love with the campus, the people and atmosphere."
- In a public exhibition, Penn scrimmages Carleton University of Canada on November 5. Cornell crushed Carleton 101-68 during an exhibition in the 2002-2003 season. At the time, Carleton was 8-0 and the No. 1 ranked team in Canada. Cornell also scrimmaged Waterloo, another Canadian school during the 2003-2004 season
- The Associated Press writes of Steve Donahue and Boston College, "After finishing 21-13 (9-7 ACC) in Steve Donahue's first year since coming to BC from Cornell, the Eagles lost all five starters - and 10 lettermen in all."
- Per Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports, the big news of the weekend is Cornell is set to scrimmage Lafayette on Saturday in Newman Arena behind closed doors. The public is not permitted to enter.
- The Arena Pulse picks Cornell to finish in 5th place in the Ivy League this season and writes, "It was just two seasons ago when Ivy League representative Cornell made an unprecendented run to the Sweet 16. Harvard is the preseason favorite, but will they live up to the hype and do they have enough talent to duplicate a similar NCAA Tournament run?"
- Check out The Cornell Basketball Blog's Season Preview Index for an extensive listing of 2011-2012 Cornell and Ivy League basketball season previews.
- The Cornell Review recaps the results of the Preseason Ivy League Media Poll.
- Ivy Hoops Online comments on some of the more interesting questions and answers from Wednesday's Ivy League Media Day:
Paul Franklin, Trenton Times: "Playing a little devil's advocate with you here: if I'm a hardcore Cornell fan and I start harassing you with, 'Hey coach, when are we going back to the Sweet Sixteen?', what's your response?"
Cornell head coach Bill Courtney: [Laughs] "I'll tell you what, it's funny because you get a lot of that when I go to the grocery store or the movies or something like that… We're working towards that and we'll continue to work until we get back to that point."
Franklin: "Alright, you've got five years then I'm coming after you."
Courtney: [Laughs] "I hear you."
More gold from Franklin. The question is legitimate—when will the Big Red climb back to the top of the Ivy League?—but I wonder what he means by "coming after you." I can only assume that Mr. Franklin has some ferocious tickling in store for Courtney if he can't lead the Big Red back to March Madness by 2016.

Jenner is a Web page templating system with a twist: it runs completely within a Web browser. Templates are just normal Web pages with special syntax inside text nodes, attributes, or comments. Unlike other in-browser templating systems, Jenner does not require overloading of "class" attributes or invalid HTML; all Jenner templates are valid Web pages and the template expressions flow in a very natural way. Having the template engine in the Web browser instead of on the server takes a lot of load off of the server, and makes for a clean separation of presentation and content. Jenner is very powerful: it has the full power of the Esel expression language at its disposal. Templates can be rendered from JSON data, and can be re-rendered without a browser-to-server round trip.
PHPTAL is a fast, safe, XML-based template engine for XHTML and HTML5. It implements Zope's Template Attribute Language, which has clean, concise syntax that is compatible with XML tools (no custom ugly tags), and template source files can even be previewed in Web browsers or opened in WYSIWYG editors. Templates are compiled to PHP and cached, giving great performance and taking advantage of PHP accelerators. PHPTAL by default ensures well-formed output and escapes XML-unsafe characters everywhere, which means that your pages can be completely safe against HTML-injection (XSS) without great effort. It features fine-grained caching of output, pre- and post- filters, internationalization via gettext or custom backend, creation of custom template attributes and expressions, and templates loaded from non-standard sources (e.g. databases). It supports UTF-8 well, is easy to integrate and redistribute with PHP frameworks and applications, and has an object-oriented design and a comprehensive unit test suite.
Succinct is a minimal templating engine designed for concurrency and efficiency. It has an especially abstract data model, allowing you to back your templates by fetching template data on-demand, during render-time, according to your own complex synchronization protocols. It comes with lots of tools to help you make your data "templatable."
terp is a modular template engine that integrates tightly into ANT and provides a portable C++ compiler task (aCC, g++, icc, msvc++, SUN CC, xlC) on many platforms and processor architectures, a collection iterator task, a full-featured expression language with host introspection, formatters, selectors, and transformers for expressions, and much more. It can be embedded into Ant, used as a stand-alone or embedded templating engine, or used as a batch or interactive expression evaluator. It is extremely flexible and can be extended with your own types, operators can be overloaded, and properties and methods can be added to types.

Social activist-cum-journalist Agni Shridhar, who has earlier written scripts and screenplay for hit movies like Aa Dinagalu, Slum Bala and Kallara Santhe, is now turning an independent director with a challenge to do an original after the row of the Telugu movie Magadheera. His directorial debut venture Thamassu stars Hat-trick hero Shivaraj Kumar and popular Malayalam actress Padmapriya in leads.
Agni Shridhar, who is well-known for bringing controversial subjects on screen and his sharp satiric tone, has completed all the works of Thamassu and is ready to release it on June 11. Now he is gearing up to promote the film. On the eve of its release, I visited the debutant director"s residence to interview him on Sunday. He seemed quite calm and totally relieved. He spoke to oneindia about Thamassu, his upcoming movies and future of the film industry for nearly two hours. Here are the excerpts of Agni Shridhar interview.
Sir, you have come a long way as a writer-cum-social activist, script and screenplay writer and now a director. What were the challenges you faced when you chose a different sphere of life every time?
Right from my childhood days, I was much more interested in expressing my own self and writing is the best way to do it. So I took up writing.. And basically every kind of artist such as painter, singer and dancer will have basic knowledge about other genres of art. He won"t find much problem while switching over to other genre. Moreover, I"m well versed with the film industry for the past 30 years. So I didn"t face any challenge while passing through all these different spheres of life.
Your directorial debut venture Thamassu is finally ready for release. How was your experience as a director on the sets? Did you face any problem?
It was really wonderful experience on sets of the Thamassu. I didn"t have problem there because right from the light-boy, everyone wanted to impress me by contributing something extraordinary to the film and get patted by me. Before I tell them something, everyone used to be prepared for the shots. So it was really exciting.
You have worked with Kannada superstar Shivanna and talented Malayalam actress Padmapriya and Tamil senior actor Nassir for your directorial debut venture. How was your association with them on the sets?
Right from beginning, I"m very close to Rajkumar"s family. Moreover Parvathamma Rajkumar is very affectionate towards me and she treats me like her brother. I know Shivaraj Kumar since he was a kid. So I had a good association with him on the set. And Padmapriya has come from a very cultured family and is highly qualified. Her father was a military officer and he wanted her to become an IAS office. She was even closely associated with TN Sheshan. She is talented actress, who has acted with national level fame Mohanlal and Mammootty. She was very active on the sets. Tamil actor Nassir is also another talented actor. He was also quite cooperative on the sets.
What is the movie Thamassu all about? Is it about rowdyism?
Thamassu means the darkness inside the human heart. In Sanskrit, it is called Tamsik personality. There are two main characters i.e. protagonist and antagonist both are engaged in evil activity. The protagonist opens his eyes and tries to reform himself, when he comes to know that there is also a right path to tread in life, while the antagonist continues as a terrorist. It is not at all a movie about rowdyism and it"s a decent movie.
How is Shivanna-Padmapriya's onscreen chemistry in Thamassu?
As I said, both of them are matured actors and they have done their best in the movie Thamassu. Shivanna is playing a police officer while Padmapriya appears as a human right activist. Their onscreen chemistry has come out very well. There is an ideological clash between the hero and heroine and this kind of clash used to be there between Rajkumar and Lakshmi. They have done a wonderful job in this clash segment, which will be a highlight of the film.
What would you like to comment upon the work of art director Shashidhar Adapa and Sundarnath Suvarna's camera work in Thamassu?
Shashidhar Adapa is a master in art direction. He has worked under well-known directors of India and has many progressive thoughts about the art direction. There is no doubt about his work. Sundarnath Suverna is also an excellent cinematographer. He has association several literary-artists and he has learned deep insight of the different feelings from them. He is an expert in selection of shooting locations. He has work experience in both commercial and artistic films. He has done a wonderful job in the film.
What would you like to comment on your daughter Ramya's lyrics and music of Sandeep Chowta? What is the response from listeners? How is the audio sale going on?
My daughter Ramya has penned a few lyrics for the film. I had warned all the technicians as not to be merciful upon her as she is my daughter. I had suggested them to take strict work from her. So she has done well. I really like her work as a lyricist. And Sandeep Chowta"s father DK Chowta, who was a social activist, is close friend of mine. I know that Sandeep is also a popular musician in both Bollywood and South Indian film industry. He is very talented musician. He has given excellent composition of songs and background score. However, the listener"s response is very well and audio sale is also doing well.
Agni Shirdhar's movie means audiences will expect that there must be a social message. What is the message in the film Thamassu for viewers?
Yes! Definitely, Thamassu has a good message for the audience. Love and affection can also bloom in the path of violence.
When is the movie releasing? And how many theatres is it released in?
The movie was slated to release on 4th June, but the Censor board delayed the release of the film. The song Maaro Maaro Allah Allah… and a dialogue – "Allah is a Saithan and Ram is a Saithan and we don"t want them" are being cut. Censor Board is yet to give its green signal for it. However, its release has been postponed to June 11 and it will be screened in 58 theatres.
Thamassu is ready for release, but it has not got expected amount of promotion so far. What is your take on promotion of the movie?
I feel promotion is a must thing these days. A film should be promoted up to a certain extent and it should not go beyond the limit. If it crosses the limit, it will have negative effect about the film. For example, Tamil and Telugu filmmakers will have to much of publicity of their movies. They reveal all the details of the film on the TV interview and they won"t leave a single thing for the curiosity of the audience. Then the movie will land up in trouble. As for the promotion of Thamassu, we"re starting it this week. Shivanna is very much excited about publicity of the film.
There are different means of promotion and online media is also one among them. Promotion on internet is getting greater importance these days. Most of the audiences are browsing information about movies on net. What do you think about it?
Yes! It"s true. Bollywood and Hollywood filmmakers are already busy promoting their movies on internet. But Kannada film industry has not grown to that extent. It will take time to reach that level.
How much time do you spend on browsing internet? Do you have accounts in the social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and Orkut?
I"m not much used to internet and I don"t have accounts in any of these social networking sites. I"m busy with reading books and magazines. But my assistants, Ramya, Sumana and Harshika have their accounts and are posting the promos of the movie on these sites.
There are several issues happening around the state. Why Kannada film industry is only after remakes and rowdyism movies? Why movies are not made on social issues that create awareness among the youths? Is it because of lack of script writers?
It"s really sad that most of the filmmakers fall prey to this trend of remakes and rowdyism movies. But these producers and directors have suffered a lot. Most of them have already stopped doing such movies. And I hope this trend is disappearing now. As for script writers, Kannada film industry has a few good writers like Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar, Yogaraj Bhat, R Chandru, Soori etc. They are really coming out with good movies, but the audiences are encouraging such talented directors.
You are always against remake movies. Do you think that remakes are main reason for the failure of the industry?
As you said, I"m totally against remakes. In 2009, there were a large number of remakes most of which were flops at the Box Office. Both remakes and dubbing movies are dangerous and lack nativity. But I don"t think that remakes are the reason for the failure of the industry because there are several remakes, which are super hits. Vishnuvardhan"s Yajamana and Aptharakshaka are the best examples for it. That"s why he was confident of remakes and acted in several remakes.
What according to you are the reasons for the failure of the Sandalwood?
It"s very difficult to analyse the reason for the failure of the industry. And I don"t want comment on this issue.
You have started an organisation called Kannada Sene, but it will be in news only when there is some issue about Kannada language. What are the intentions of this organisation?
It"s a cultural organisation. I started it immediately after I returned from the jail. But the media contemplated that it would be a communal organisation like Shiva Sena in Maharashtra. This made me put certain limitations on the activities of the organisation. Its main motto is works to save culture and tradition of Kannada language. That"s why whenever there is some injustice against Kannada language and culture we protest against it.
Besides that, you are also running a weekly magazine called 'Agni' both in Kannada as well as English. How do you balance the works of filmmaking, running magazine and with social activities besides keeping yourself in good health?
Recently, I"ve given up the works of magazines and I write articles once in a while. I've several assistants and I assign all other works to them. In fact, I will be very free these days. I"m not doing anything great that is done by most of the great personalities these days. As for health, I do work outs for one hour every day.
What are your upcoming movies?
I"m going to do one more movie with Shivaraj Kumar. I"ve plans to do the Aa Dinagalu part 2 and 3 in future. I"m also considering doing a historical movie on Tippu Sultan. In fact, I'm desperate to do this movie because all other historical characters in Karnataka are depicted onscreen, but nobody has dared to do movie on Tippu ever in Kannada film industry just because of he tried to convert several Hindus to Muslims.

Overview Edit
"The Supreme Court has held that a state cause of action is 'really' a federal cause of action which may be removed to federal court if the "federal cause of action completely preempts . . . the state cause of action.'"[1] "This principle is 'known as the complete preemption doctrine, and it is 'a distinct concept from ordinary preemption.'"[2]
"[T]he complete preemption doctrine applies only if 'the statute relied upon by the defendant as preemptive contains civil enforcement provisions within the scope of which the plaintiff's state claim falls.'"[3] The "second prerequisite for the application of the complete preemption doctrine [is]: 'a clear indication of a Congressional intention to permit removal despite the plaintiff's exclusive reliance on state law.'"[4]

By Frazier Moore, AP Television Writer
NEW YORK Along with "Change," the big theme during Campaign 2008 was one of disbelief. Here was a just-when-you-thought-you'd-seen-it-all brand of amazement, voiced over and over, even by seasoned political observers.
No wonder TV was a great way to follow the race to the White House. There was plenty to see, even when you thought you'd seen it all.
Then came Election Day, when TV news outlets chased the story to its natural, long-awaited conclusion.
But after so many months, the networks' video razzmatazz and teams of analysts couldn't hide an enduring truth Tuesday night: There are few things that make for more anxious TV viewing than waiting for election results.
When Barack Obama addressed a gathering that numbered in the hundreds of thousands, nothing that preceded it really mattered. As a TV spectacle, it upstaged the coverage that had led to it.
Obama's soaring rhetoric, and the mass excitement that surrounded it, was an instant TV classic.
But until 11 p.m. Eastern, when he was projected as the next president, the networks faced the formidable challenge of sifting through reams of preliminary numbers, and playing host to a lot of talk.
And, just as any other Election Night, the networks had to make all that talking and all those numbers look compelling.
Perhaps the most novel attempt to jazz things up (which managed to be both effective and hilarious) was CNN's "hologram." Wow! From Chicago, correspondent Jessica Yellin seemed to materialize, in 3-D, in CNN's New York election center to chat with anchor Wolf Blitzer.
It's a cool technique for bringing people in remote locations into the same environment, and will likely become commonplace in TV coverage -- a fancy update of the split screen.
But it seemed to be an innovation with a nod to "Star Wars," a parody of the holographic image of Princess Leia. Even Yellin acknowledged the resemblance.
As visual wizardry goes, MSNBC was slightly more old-school with its virtual-reality rotunda. There, 3-D bar graphs rose from the "marble floor" alongside the correspondent, or an electoral map appeared to be hanging from the "columns" in the background.
Going all-out is a TV news tradition, since at least 1960. That year, NBC transformed Studio 8H (now home of "Saturday Night Live") into a vast election center, with anchors David Brinkley and Chet Huntley presiding over dozens of correspondents and banks of numerical displays.
Though impressive in scale, the coverage (which can be glimpsed on YouTube clips) had no holograms, nor any reference to red or blue states (for one reason, it wasn't aired in color yet).
Nearly a half-century later, outside NBC's headquarters, an enormous U.S. map spread across the famous ice-skating rink at Rockefeller Center. NBC used it to illustrate the states as they were claimed by John McCain and Obama.
But unlike four years ago (when red or blue puzzle pieces were laid on top of the ice), for NBC's coverage Tuesday night, each state was sprayed with water and frozen into place.
It seemed an unintendedly reassuring change, reflecting an election where the outcome was unlikely to be questioned or disputed.

I have been researching all over the internet for help with my issue. I use Group Chat or Group messaging heavily on my Samsung (AT&T) Galaxy S4 Smartphone. I originally had problems with messaging being extremely slow. Now when I go into read any text, it locks my phone up and brings up an error message stating "Messaging has stopped responding" with an option to "Wait" or "End". If I wait, Messaging never reopens. If I end, it ends Messaging of course but will not bring up any texts. The few times I am able to get into create a texts it will take over 2 minutes to even type one word.
My memory is not full, have a SIM card with bigger items so I know storage isn't a problem. I have cleared data in the Messaging app (the one that I use, which is included with the phone and I have no third party messaging apps), deleted the threads it will allow me to (it won't let me delete large group chat threads). I have tried shutting the phone off, removing the battery, SIM card, and SD card also. After restarting it will work for a few minutes then crash again, forcing me to restart. Seems to be worse when a group message comes through.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Anyone? I guess my next step is a factory restore?:-[


text: Not the first time he has modeled for JE. They obviously know his measurements. They clearly intended for this look on this product. It is a look, some like, some dont. I do think it looks better w/ long sleeves underneath. Isnt the first time they have done the shorter sleeve look for the shoot. Can it be odd? Yeah sure. I get that you would want it to look how it will on a custumer. But understand this is most likely just a look that some go for in their shoots and the garment doesnt end up actually having awkwardly short sleeves. Definitely not the first time JE has modeled this look. To think they just said ah f it, we dont know his size, measurements , etc, and just decided to just put it up is a little rediculous. I understand why it could confuse but calm down.

"I used these for my wedding invitations and kept everything as is. They were stunning! I paired them with a small gold envelope. I used two more of these cards for guest accommodation information and directions to my venue. I included all three cards in a gold pocket fold along with my invitation."
"These cards are great - simple and elegant. They arrived super quickly and the customer service / designer that assisted us was fantastic. The process was smooth and effortless."
"The paper (standard that they use) was a great quality, as always with their products. The colors were soft and delicate like I wanted. We aren't having a formal event, so these work great for the laid back feel we wanted. We only have two food selections, and the cards look good with the two lines."
"I made several changes to the response card which the support team helped a lot with! They are very accommodating and made my vision a reality. The card stock is durable and of good quality! No complaints here! Lucious lacing is a beautiful template and I am over the moom with my invitations."
"My favorite piece in my total order. I actually wish this border had gone all the way around the Save the Date cards, and the Wedding invitation itself..."

O2 sensors and a true dual exhaust
I am planning on making the custome true duel exhaust on my truck very soon What I am hoping to do is remove the factory 2 into 1 Cat and replace everything from there back with one pipe for each bank.
Since I still have to do a sniff test every two years wich includes a visual inspection I still need to have cats in the system so Im thinking two cheap cats one for each side. The problem is that I have a single after cat O2 sensor, will I be alright just running the single sensor in one bank or is there a way to put two sensors and wire them together so that the ECM sees them as a sigle sensor.
BTW its a 96 with a 5.2 magnum CAI and the throttle body machined and polished if any of that makes a difference
Thanks in advance

By Pauline Arrillaga, AP National Writer
ON INTERSTATE 10, Texas Nancy and Ricardo Garcia loaded their GMC Yukon with gas cans, clothes, tortillas, beer and the many files they took when they fled ahead of Hurricane Ike.
They left not knowing just how destructive the storm might be. On Tuesday, they ignored warnings to stay away and made the long journey home to find out.
"We're driving back because our house is already flooded. We know that there's water inside," Nancy said as tears spilled from her eyes. Seven months' pregnant, she reclined in the passenger seat, a pillow covering her bulging belly, as her husband filled the tank at the San Antonio Travel Center. They were 186 miles from their home near Houston's Hobby Airport.
"My brother's already there, and his house is completely destroyed," she said. "We need to go back."
More than a million people fled the Texas Gulf Coast last week and took refuge with family or in hotels and shelters to wait out the monster storm. Like the Garcias, many are now on an exodus back home -- to communities that may have no power or water, or even houses to live in.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and the mayors of big towns and small burgs, have urged folks to stay away while emergency crews complete search and rescue efforts and work to get the lights back on and the water running.
Flashing signs echoed those warnings all along Interstate 10, which runs the width of Texas from El Paso to Houston and on to places like Beaumont and the devastated communities of Orange and Bridge City.
"Do not travel to Houston and Beaumont," said one. And: "Limited Fuel I-10 East."
In decimated Galveston, Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas encouraged an estimated 15,000 people still on the island to leave.
"We are not going to go into somebody's house and drag them out," she said. "But they need to consider the risks of staying here. We have a blossoming health and medical concern."
Thomas said Tuesday residents and merchants would be allowed to "look and leave" between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., meaning those who show photo IDs can return to gather belongings and assess damage. The policy was rescined Tuesday evening after it led to a long traffic jam.
All of that mattered little to those who packed their cars for the second time in a matter of days and endured traffic, fuel lines and waits at roadside restrooms to get home and see for themselves what kind of havoc Ike had inflicted.
It wasn't so much defiance driving them as circumstances, curiosity and the need to start cleaning up.
Reba Goble, a maintenance worker at the University of Houston, was more concerned with missing a paycheck than exasperating city leaders. She waited a half-hour for an open pump at a gas station off I-45 in Huntsville.
"If I don't go back and tough it out," Goble said, "I'm afraid of losing my job."
Jessica Loera, a receptionist from Houston, headed back after staying with relatives in Dallas. Tired of watching the horror stories on TV, she wanted to check things out herself and called the warnings to keep away "unrealistic."
"Hopefully the apartment complex is intact," she said, "but I doubt it because we live right by a bayou."
All along I-10, cars bore east with coolers strapped to their roofs, trunks stuffed with duffel bags and boxes of Cheerios, back seats crammed with children and dogs. Convenience stores along the way stacked empty gas cans ready for purchase right near their doors and flats of water close to the cash registers.
Sylvia Garcia works the register at a Whataburger fast food restaurant off I-10 in east San Antonio. She's seen travelers coming and going for days now, and sees the anxiety etched on their faces.
"Don't worry about it, sweetie, we got you," she said to one evacuee, handing him a free cup of coffee and a box of juice for his little boy.
Buc-ee's travel stop in Luling, 140 miles from Houston, with its flashing sign promising "Homemade Fudge," "Dippin-Dots," "Jerky" and "Fabulous Restrooms," was crammed all day with eastbound travelers.
Will Williford walked his boxer, Maggie, on a patch of grass outside while waiting for his wife and two daughters to use the bathroom. The family lives in hard-hit Orange, but friends said their house escaped any serious damage. A neighbor wasn't so lucky. "He has four feet of water in the house, has a tree in his house and no flood insurance," Williford said.
The Willifords rebuilt after losing their roof to Hurricane Rita in 2005. While they were lucky this time, they wanted to go home to help the good Samaritans who helped them.
"All we can do is go back and help everybody else pick up the pieces," said Williford's wife, Lisa, "and be grateful that we weren't hit so hard ourselves."
Nancy Garcia wished that she was as fortunate. She, her husband and two daughters left Houston Thursday evening and made the nine-hour drive to Monterrey, Mexico, where they waited Ike out with her mother-in-law. They woke at midnight to begin the 500-mile journey back.
Her brother, Nestor, lives only a block and a half away. He evacuated to San Antonio but returned Saturday to see what was left. He called his sister and cried, "My house. My house is all destroyed."
Garcia, at least, still has a home, though the carpet was soaked and a tree toppled onto the trampoline in her back yard. Branches are everywhere, and the house, someone told her, smells like fish.
She'd heard all the warnings to stay out, but felt the need to go home nevertheless.
"We just want to see what we have left," she said.

"I'm in a pretty intense Gordon Ramsay phase right now."
Believe it or not, I uttered this phrase last weekend to a friend. And I was completely serious: I am obsessed with the celebrity chef at the moment, and I've kept my secret pretty well-hidden until now.
Specifically, I've been watching reruns of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares on BBC America. Up until a few weeks ago, I'd avoided all of Ramsay's shows because I found his American series to be absolutely terrifying. Rather than the pointless cacophony of Hell's Kitchen, I prefer the relatively mellow foodie drama on Top Chef. But Kitchen Nightmares -- the UK version -- is addictive and not nearly as abrasive as Ramsay's American reality. While the chef doesn't mince his F-words, the European scenery and menus make it as much of a travel show for me as a culinary experience.
A new season of Kitchen Nightmares kicks off Dec. 2 on BBC America. (The American version returns Dec. 16 on Fox.)
In the meantime, Fox is now casting for a prime-time special called Gordon Ramsay: Cookalong Live. The network is looking for "couples, families, best friends or just YOU
-- people who have a passion to cook and a passion to learn!" Ramsay has done this in the UK before; the audience gets to cook along with the chef as he prepares a meal.
As long as he doesn't yell at me through the TV, I just might try it.

Roe States (average) in curvilinear coordinates?
I wonder if anyone can help me with this problem. I haven't found anything on this in the open litterature yet and have struggled unsuccesfully with the derivation.
For a perfect gas in orthogonal coordinates and in any dimension, the Roe average between the left and right states can be found easily to achieve A(Q_R-Q_L)=F_R-F_L where the flux jacobian A is found from the Roe averaged properties.
However, when F and Q are expressed in curvilinear coordinates (conformal mapping), the average cannot be found easily. I managed to obtain such an average for a 1D problem, but am stuck in 2D and 3D.
Does anyone know anything about this?
Re: Roe States (average) in curvilinear coordinates?
You may want to look the text by Tannehill, anderson and pletecher, second edition, 1997. section 6.6.
About a few monthses, if I finish my phd; God willing, in my thesis I have tried to simply explain all the things about roe in generalized coordinates.
You can also find some info about roe scheme implemenation in gen. coord. in the manual of CFL3D code of Nasa Langely.
If you could find any other informative report in this regards i wonder you can share it with me.
Re: Roe States (average) in curvilinear coordinates?
I wonder if you could linearize the equations first using Roe-averages, and then transform them.
Isn't it possible?

Re: Roe States (average) in curvilinear coordinates?
Hi dear Nishikawa:
According to Roe scheme, as it is an approximate solver of Rimm. problem, I have started with the linearized equations. Then at each cell face of the control volume, I have found the "L" and "R" conditions, then using Roe avarging I have determined the conditions at the cell face. Then the numerical flux. There is no big difference between finite volume-in which you solve totally in physical domain and finite volume-finite difference approach, in which the equations are solved in computational domain. In both of the appraches, we need the unit vectors normal to the cell face.
I hope this help.
Regards. Mohammad
