Bullet grazes sleeping Lawrence girl; police recover at least seven shell casings
An 11-year-old girl was asleep in her bed when a bullet penetrated the wall of her Lawrence home and grazed her shoulder, police said.
Officers responded at 4 a.m. to a call of shots fired at a home on Brook Street and found the girl suffering from a wound that appeared to be from a bullet grazing, said Police Chief John Romero
The girl was sleeping on the first floor of the three-decker home with a younger sibling, Romero said. The sibling was not injured. The girl was taken to Lawrence General Hospital with injuries to her collar bone that were not considered life-threatening. She has since been released.
Sometime after 3 a.m. a man entered the communal hallway of the building and tried to get to the third-floor apartment. Six to eight people were on the second floor and questioned the man, Romero said. The man said he was visiting a woman, but the people told him he had to leave.
The visitor then asked to use their bathroom, but the people escorted him out of the building, Romero said. They told police they did not know the man.
A short while later, the people saw the same man in the passenger seat of a burgundy vehicle driving past the house while they were on the porch, Romero said. The people told police the car parked near the house and soon after, they heard multiple gunshots.
Romero said officers recovered at least seven shell casings from the scene and that the incident is under investigation.
He said police get reports of shots fired in the neighborhood from time to time, but that they believe the shooting is directly related to the earlier incident involving the visitor.
Police asked anyone with information to contact detectives at 978-794-5900, Extension 625.

By Subhash K. Jha
Film: "Right Yaaa Wrong"; Starring: Sunny Deol, Irrfan Khan, Konkona Sen-Sharma, Esha Koppikar; Director: Neerraj Pathak; Rating: ***
Don't breathe. Don't dare even blink. And please forget that visit to the loo. Damn, even the bag of popcorn will be forgotten on your clenched lap.
"Right Yaaa Wrong" is the surprise shocker of the year. If you've forgotten that jump-out-of-the-seat feeling then it's time to nudge it awake again.
Debutant director Neerraj Pathak deserves a welcoming salute. He puts together a thriller that's as much a homage to Alfred Hitchcock and Brian de Palma as our own Abbas-Mustan.
"And Right Yaaa Wrong" still emerges original and strong.
An intricate jigsaw that always stays a step ahead of the audience, "Right Yaaa Wrong" makes a penetrating comment on how the country's legal system can be subverted by a clever hand. More importantly the taut and briskly-paced script suggests that the yin and yang concepts of right and wrong are not only ambivalent but also interchangeable when the context is right.
Sunny Deol, back in shape in every which way, plays a cop who in the first two reels loses the power to walk. But the narration simply sprints along through a series of unpredictable twists and turns that take the striking characters across a maze of intrigue and conspiracy.
Truly, the screenplay is far superior to its execution. And that's entirely a comment on the above-average calibre of the writing.
Writers Girish Dhamija, Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan and Neerraj Pathak pack in a walloping punch in both pre-and post-interval hours.
The characters and their motivations address themselves to adventure-thriller-suspense world of James Hadley Chase and Sidney Sheldon. The men are brave and heroic, clever and fearless. Even when cuckolded, Deol is dignified in the embrace of betrayal.
Editor Ashfaq Makrani juxtaposes moments of tense suspense with glimpses of heightened poignancy. This is murder in mellow shades.
The cop's wife played by Esha Koppikar is unabashedly wanton. Outwardly she's the duty-bound cop's home-bound wife with a perfect home and cute son (Ali Haji). Scratch the surface and there emerges a woman who's sleeping with the cop's kid-brother. Ouch.
Shades of Bipasha from Abbas-Mustan's Race? Yes? But don't let this hectic whodunit's antecedents bother you. The storytelling takes wings from the word go. And we are swept ahead. As the characters go from 'bed' to worse. However the people in Pathak's pacy plot are so hurriedly propelled to their nemesis that we never get close enough to any of them to understand their inner world.
The depths are discarded for the dips and curves. The performances are even and well-informed. Sunny Deol in a role that requires him to sublimate his pain in a status of stoicism gets it just right. Irrfan creates ample space for himself in a role that's sketchy for starters but gathers substance as the yarn progresses.
Konkona Sen Sharma as the stereotypical sympathetic shoulder gets rid of her set expressions and comes up with a performance of restrained bravura in the courtroom.
And Esha Koppikar plays the thankless role of the unfaithful wife and a disgraceful mother with much relish.
Here's a film that extends the borders of morality. It does so in the commercial language without resorting to crass situations and dialogues. For fans of Sunny Deol's fist-friendly image here's the actor telling us that strength is sometimes a matter of holding back rather than letting it all hang out.
Bollywood.com Rating: 3.5

Brooklyn-based industrial designer Olivia Barry attributes her inspiration as an artist to two influential women in her life. Mentored in the love of clay and glazes as a young girl by her grandmother, Barry also had the rare opportunity for 12 years to work side-by-side as assistant to the legendary mid-century ceramist Eva Zeisel.
Barry's appreciation for timeless style defines her work. Inspired by textures and patterns found in architecture and nature, she creates clean, simple forms that she envisions lasting forever and mixing seamlessly with other designs. Having practiced pottery almost all her life, Barry continues to find the challenge of creating a useful product invigorating since the design process is never the same.

Options Course: On Saturday, December 1, the CBOE, Option Pit and OptionsProfits are hosting a full-day class, Using Volatility to Improve Directional Trading CLICK HERE FOR INVITE AND TO REGISTER.
CLICK HERE for Parts 1 and 2.
Most individual stock trading halts are of the gap and trap variety (See: Gapped and Trapped). Thus, those gapped and trapped are not happy traders or investors. The shock to the system from the time of the announced trading halt tends to irresistibly morph into fear as they who are entrapped are caught in the web known as long or wrong, or, short and instantly shorter!
A halt of a stock is a trumpeted clarion call sounded too late for all those who have been gapped and trapped. It is at this time that their worst fear creates even more panic. For those outside of that trading mess, peering into the panic, they should be licking their proverbial chops because a highly probable short term top or bottom (depending) is about to form soon after the halt has been removed. It is human-natural that a yell of Fire! will cause the proverbial theater to empty post haste. The stock market's proverbial yell of "Fire!" has the same effect on a stock's price. This type of trading action is vacuum-like because it tends to clean up the halted stock's sellers or buyers, depending.
The best course of action for an options trader post-halt is to buy an at-the-money vertical spread because the vols will most likely be nicely pumped in the out-of-the money options. In addition, the at-the-money options should be less pumped up in price as per the upward revaluation of the vols post-halt.
Whatever you do however, do not open a negative gamma position early in the process as the volatility contraction period intended for that options strategy to be successful does not instantly follow once the trading in the stock begins post halt. Thus, a front spread, the negative gamma type, is not the initial tactic to use. Most professional trading firms want to see the trading action (stock and options activity) before they attempt to re-position themselves post-halt and post-news dissemination as that is prudent. The simple rule to follow here is: do not be pioneers. Let the big boys carve out the next price trend first.
For those who follow contrary opinion strategy the vertical call spread would be the tactic for any stock halted based on negative news and the vertical put spread would be the tactic for any stock halted based on positive news. As always, average into either position in three separate lots so as to average the price as well as prudently managing your capital (See the series: Averaging In).
Why any halt is allowed to last longer than a few minutes is beyond me. Prior to the modern information world and of course the Internet, news that could create chaos had to be disseminated in due time. Today that excuse is a dog that just doesn't hunt. Stock exchanges have to power to rule for the most part as per how long a halt should last. But ruling that a recent halt like Google's (GOOG), lasting over two hours, was simply outrageous and biased against the sellers in that case. Given the fact that in just the last month two major trading halts have occurred (Google and Apple (AAPL)), the possibility of more halts coming has to be at least considered. Be careful.

NEW YORK, Thursday—Fiorello H. La Guardia, director of UNRRA, made an eloquent appeal to the United Nations the other day for continuing to distribute food in Europe through some form of international agreement after UNRRA expires. The next day, our State Department announced that, while we would consult with other nations, we would distribute relief pretty much on our own, though we might cooperate fairly closely with Great Britain and Canada, the two nations which with us have borne the brunt of the expense so far.
This seems a fairly natural decision, in view of the fact that there have been accusations that supplies given for relief have often been used for political purposes. It seems to me quite understandable that we should want to say how our money shall be spent. But, as in the case of so many questions, there are arguments on both sides of this one.
One of our great desires at present is to build up the strength of the United Nations. And the advantage of doing things on an international basis, even when only a few nations foot the bills, is that a greater number participate in the policy and that knowledge of one another is gained through working together.
In this, as in many other things, we are trying not only to fill the needs of the present, but to look into the future and be prepared to meet situations which have not yet arisen but which may arise. It is this ability to look ahead, and to calculate the importance of events in the light of tomorrow as well as of today, which is vitally important.
* * *
I hear on all sides that individual members of Congress feel that their constituents are not interested in continuing to help people so far away from home, and I have had a number of letters which bear this out. They say "Charity begins at home." They say that, as long as there is one child underfed and one family with an inadequate standard of living within this country, we should be more concerned about that than about starvation or hardships greater than our own which exist in other countries.
It is hard to prove that conditions in other countries will affect us, but it's nevertheless true. We are truly now all in "one world." And I cannot help feeling that there are people in our country who will not be content to forget the suffering in other lands, even though they work to decrease any suffering in this country.
There is one way, apparently, to reach everyone's heart. The fate of children seems to touch us all. The other night, I attended a dinner of the United States Committee for the Care of European Children, which launched its campaign to raise $800,000 to bring war orphans over to this country. Three hundred have already come and, from the offers of homes which have poured into the committee's headquarters, it is evident that the supply of children will never remotely meet the demand. It was stated at the dinner that about 100 homes will probably be offered for every child brought here. So the warm heart of America is still open to children who have suffered.

After Catherine makes an appointment with a divorce lawyer, Caleb turns to his father for advice.
This is followed by a montage of Caleb praying in various light-infused settings.
Caleb can save lives every day, but he will never be a decent human being as long as he follows the Way of the Masturbator.
Caleb makes clear that those plaguing him are honest-to-god metaphysical beings and not traumatic figments.
Off the job, Aldridge is happily married to Kings of Leon front man Caleb Followill.
"I have not heard anything like a cheer since I have been out of the house," said Caleb.
Little Caleb then went to the window, so as to see his face plainer.
But the travelling merchants, led by Caleb, arrived through the garden.
Why grandmother," said Caleb, "I cannot see now so well as I could before.
Caleb Thayer held a great leather-bound Bible on his knees, and was reading aloud in a solemn voice.
masc. proper name, in the Bible, one of the 12 men sent by Moses to reconnoiter Canaan, from Hebrew Kalebh, literally "dog-like," from kelebh "dog."
a dog. (1.) One of the three sons of Hezron of the tribe of Judah. He is also called Chelubai (1 Chr. 2:9). His descendants are enumerated (18-20, 42-49). (2.) A "son of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah" (1 Chr. 2:50). Some would read the whole passage thus: "These [i.e., the list in ver. 42-49] were the sons of Caleb. The sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephratah, were Shobal, etc." Thus Hur would be the name of the son and not the father of Caleb (ver. 19). (3.) The son of Jephunneh (Num. 13:6; 32:12; Josh. 14:6, 14). He was one of those whom Moses sent to search the land in the second year after the Exodus. He was one of the family chiefs of the tribe of Judah. He and Joshua the son of Nun were the only two of the whole number who encouraged the people to go up and possess the land, and they alone were spared when a plague broke out in which the other ten spies perished (Num. 13; 14). All the people that had been numbered, from twenty years old and upward, perished in the wilderness except these two. The last notice we have of Caleb is when (being then eighty-five years of age) he came to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, after the people had gained possession of the land, and reminded him of the promise Moses had made to him, by virtue of which he claimed a certain portion of the land of Kirjath-arba as his inheritance (Josh. 14:6-15; 15:13-15; 21:10-12; 1 Sam. 25:2,3; 30:14). He is called a "Kenezite" in Josh. 14:6,14. This may simply mean "son of Kenez" (Num. 32:12). Some, however, read "Jephunneh, the son of Kenez," who was a descendant of Hezron, the son of Pharez, a grandson of Judah (1 Chr. 2:5). This Caleb may possibly be identical with (2). (4.) Caleb gave his name apparently to a part of the south country (1 Sam. 30:14) of Judah, the district between Hebron and Carmel, which had been assigned to him. When he gave up the city of Hebron to the priests as a city of refuge, he retained possession of the surrounding country (Josh. 21:11,12; comp. 1 Sam. 25:3).

Do you guys remember the last time we visited the Pet Days event in Orange County? It doesn't seem like it was that long ago, but I just took a look back at the archives and we went to the First Pet Days way back in 2008! I bet a lot has changed since then and hopefully it has expanded well beyond the small section it occupied 5 years ago.
Anyhow, we're going back to the Fall Pet Days and we'll be there representing Guide Dogs of America! I'm scheduled to be there this Sunday, November 3rd from 9am-12pm. Unfortunately, Adelle will not be joining me (she's a Canine Support Teams pup). However, I will be working with GDA puppy in training, Duncan.
Here's Duncan as a puppy (he's the little guy).
Duncan's no longer a little guy…he's probably closer to the size of Swagger (the big guy in the pic).

The easy lay out and Sleek design makes this a dream to work with in studio and live. I use it almost every day and am currently creating songs for a new project using only the virus.
Not only is it a dream synth, but Access as a company are very veyr good with their Customers. The amount of patches and addition sound they offer for there users is outstanding. Extending any users range by a vast amount of new sounds and Filters.
When not working with this baby, it is a great way o pass the time. MAC+Virus+Logic = True Musical Dreams. If you own a synth and always are purchasing and upgrading more and more (like i was) well stop there save the cash and Buy a Virus. You will no look back
I have just downloaded OS 6.5. I was amazed to find nothing less that the finest modeled emulation of the Minimoog filter I have heard. This filter gives my Indigo 2 an absolutely different sound. I purchased the Virus because of the sound of the original filters, and for absolutely no money, these guys have given me basically another synth! For FREE.
The Virus has a sound unlike anything out there. It can be warm, cold, nice, evil, or just out right lunacy. I am hard pressed to thing of a type of music that the Virus would not be suited for... Ok, maybe Bluegrass or Polka. This box is a DJ/Remixer's dream. Processing loops and drum machines thru its effects, filters and vocoders is alone worth the price of the synth.
Lots of polyphony, so multi-mode is super powerful. But it is also cool to have to polyphony for stacking voice in the unison modes.
Access has released more OS releases since I have had my Indigo 2 than any of my other synths manufacturers have in the past 2 years. All the updates are free. We have been given a Moog filter, new arpeggiator patterns, special tuning modes, knob shortcuts, ROM flashing, a new sync engine, and regular fixes for bugs that come up.
Support is great. Everyone at Access obviously loves what they do and do it with a laugh and a smile (join the forums and find out about the helicopter rides)
This is the desert island synth. With an iBook and Logic 6, there is no reason you cannot put out records with just the Virus. If you can, get the Indigo 2. I got the black one, but the silver is ultra sexy.
If you have not tried one out - now would be a good time.

Trump Hates Angie
So The Donald goes on Larry King Monday night and decides to weigh in on Angelina Jolie"s feud with her father. Apparently he"s tight with Jon Voight, says it"s unconscionable the way she"s treating him, long rant alluding to Angelina being a slut, and then ends it by pronouncing that he doesn"t find her attractive.
This is added bonus of being stinking filthy rich. You can say what you want, you can talk as much smack as you want, you can actually HAVE AN OPINION, and you don"t have to be afraid to offend.
I don"t agree with it but dammit to hell if I don"t f-cking love it.

Sold Out $49.99
2012 vintage
is available for $52.99
Felsina Fontalloro 2007
Sangiovese from Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
A rich, brilliant ruby red. Good spice on the nose, with generous notes of tobacco and wet earth (and of dry earth as well). The palate is supported by a hefty charge of medium-smooth tannins to ensure the required lengthy ageing. Superb weight and structure, with a classic finish. Significant cellar potential.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Good full red with a palish rim. Pure, superripe aromas of red cherry, violet, iodine and nutmeg. Superrich, highly concentrated and seamless, with densely packed flavors of raspberry, dark plum and marzipan. Finishes creamy-rich and explosively long, with a pretty violet note. This was so good I really had trouble letting the glass go. It's also the only time I can remember Fontalloro outclassing Rancia (of which I am a huge fan) by such a wide margin, something I had noticed even when tasting barrel samples of these two wines in the estate's cellar two years ago. I'd wait a good five years on this one, then enjoy it for another two decades. Proof positive that sangiovese is one of the world's great grape varieties." -
The Wine Advocate - "The 2007 Fontalloro is round, sweet and inviting, very much in keeping with the style of the vintage. The fruit tends towards the redder end of the spectrum vis-a-vis the Rancia and the Fontalloro seems to possess a touch more freshness. Floral, spiced notes add lift on the finish. As attractive as the 2007 Fontalloro is, and it is very pretty, the wine does not have a particularly bright track record of developing the noblest aromas and flavors in bottle. In my experience, it is better to err on the side of youth in deciding when to drink Fontalloro. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022." -
Wine Spectator - "There's blackberry and blueberry galore in this full-bodied wine, which has chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Juicy and wonderfully fruity. Best after 2011." - View All
Fattoria di Felsina Winery
In the 17 published editions of Gambero Rosso, Italy's acclaimed wine rating guide, this Tuscan estate has won the coveted Tre Bicchieri (Three Glasses) award 17 times. They are a favorite of IWM, Robert Parker, and any Tuscan wine enthusiast. And they did it by revealing the true essence of the Sangiovese grape and the Chianti Classico terroir. What this tells us is that this is a winery of consistency, producing Chianti Classicos with the ability to age up to two decades for the right vintage. Much like the great Brunello estates, it is the marriage of an ideal microclimate and the uncompromising commitment of a dedicated staff that educes the full character of Tuscany's noble grape, even in off vintages. Even more importantly, this is a producer who creates compelling wines and releases them at contained prices, making Felsina accessible to all wine enthusiasts and one of Italy's greatest values!

Tuscany is also home to the indigenous Italian grape variety, Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable Facts
The most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...
This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

If I had known... if I had only known... I would have ordered a case of this. A real crowd pleaser, from the novices and beyond. This is now no longer available to my state. Again, if I had only known... Ordered some '06, we'll see how it compares.Vegas Dave - Las Vegas, NV51/25/2011Just a very very nice bottle of Italian wine. I am curious though, most of the critic reviews talked of big and bold dark fruit flavors, big tannins, yet still with a soft and lush finish. I agree with the later half of that. I found the wine to be very refined, subtle, almost elegant, still maintaining that which we love about Tuscany, and yes, a long and lush finish. Maybe the fact that we enjoyed this wine with a hearty, tomato/meat based pasta meal, made the wine seem more tame and refined, but that is OK with me. Enjoy!walktard - Tahoe City, CA37/16/2014410/9/201242/3/2012Elrourke - Chicago, IL41/6/2012christopher gillon - Englewood, NJ35/20/2011

"You're as free as the wind," says Paul Exben (Romain Duris) to the son of a legal client to whom he has offered the choice of drug rehab or disinheritance from the family fortune. Oh, irony. Paul is himself encumbered with a career he hates and a family he suspects he's beginning to lose. Based on Douglas Kennedy's novel and adapted for French audiences with the addition of Western European ennui and tiny cars, director Eric Lartigau's The Big Picture examines a pretty common fantasy of unhappy people—pulling a Dick Whitman/Don Draper switcheroo and fleeing to a new life—and creates a harrowing scenario that drives Paul to attempt it. After accidentally killing his wife's lover and hoping to protect the children he loves from having a murderer for a father, Paul fakes his own death and steals the dead man's identity. Escaping to Montenegro, he rekindles his passion for photography, a talent suspended in favor of career and family, and earns unexpectedly fast recognition for his outsized artistic talent. His depression, anxiety, and self-loathing compound the stress of pretending to be another person, but the surprising artistic acclaim and accompanying publicity present a terrifying threat of exposure. For most of the film, Lartigau creates the tension of a Hitchcock thriller solely through Paul's interior struggle; late in the film, outside forces validate Paul's anxieties during a scary misadventure at sea. It all invites comparison to The Talented Mr. Ripley, but where that film's sociopathic protagonist generates nausea, The Big Picture invites identification.

Georgia Politicians Steal a Page from the Wisconsin 2011 Playbook
Perhaps Georgia's House Industrial Relations Committee staged Monday's surprise vote on S.B. 469—the draconian bill that would infringe upon the rights of Georgians to speak out for economic justice or choose whether to support a union—as an apt welcome for Wisconsin's Gov. Scott Walker as he came to Atlanta for a Republican fundraiser.
The Republican-led committee held the sudden vote on Monday morning with little notice, posting the hearing on the calendar less than an hour prior—and waiting until just 10 minutes beforehand to post a note on the hearing room door. Not surprisingly, the measure easily sailed out of the committee without any legislators present to represent Georgia's working families. The committee also voted to pass S.B. 447, which would gut unemployment insurance down to the fewest number of weeks in the country.
The surprise tactic was eerily similar to the maneuver employed by Wisconsin Republican state senators in 2011 as they sought to shove through a bill that would strip collective bargaining rights from Wisconsin's teachers, social workers and other public service employees. The Georgia State AFL-CIO took notice and condemned the partisan power grab:
Democracy doesn't happen in secret...just as S.B. 469 is designed to silence dissent, the committee leadership intentionally posted as little notice as possible to ensure that a minimum amount of opponents would be present.
But just as in Wisconsin, the attack on working families has helped mobilize a broad, energized coalition of Georgians. Working families, jobless workers, students, faith leaders, sheriffs and, yes, even the tea party are uniting together to protest the General Assembly's extreme agenda and, instead, press politicians to get to work creating jobs.
Georgia's legislative session ends this Thursday. Will Georgia's state legislators use the last remaining days of the session to stop this undemocratic bill? Will they vote to preserve unemployment insurance, the lifeline that is helping to keep Georgia's jobless families—and the local businesses they support—afloat? Or will legislators instead bow down to special interests like the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, the author of S.B. 469?
There's still time to make a difference and make your voice heard. If you're in Georgia, send e-mail messages to urge your lawmakers to vote NO on S.B. 469 and NO on S.B. 447.

By Jaideep Vaidya
It was a pleasant February afternoon in South Mumbai. The city's Mecca of cricket, the Wankhede Stadium, was hosting the home team, Mumbai, for a practice session ahead of the Irani Trophy tie against Rest of India starting in three days.
One of the stars of Mumbai's 40th Ranji Trophy title – Abhishek Nayar – was occupying one of the practice pitches, with a bunch of Mumbai and local bowlers having a go at him. Nayar, 29, had had a breakthrough domestic season. He was the second-highest run-getter in the Ranji Trophy 2012-13 with 966 runs at an average of 96.60, including three hundreds and eight fifties. The all-rounder had also bagged 19 scalps and announced himself on the big stage.
The repercussions were almost immediate as the Pune Warriors India (PWI), owned by the wealthy Sahara group, acquired Nayar's services for the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) for a handsome sum of US$ 675,000 – he turned out to be the most valuable Indian player at the auction. From a mediocre IPL 5 last year when he scored just 45 runs in total for the Kings XI Punjab, to be acquired for over Rs 3.5 crore, Nayar had come a long way in the last 10 months or so. Along with that, he's also got an opportunity to face Michael Clarke's Australians for a warm-up game in Chennai later this month.
Crouching low in his very atypical, rather striking batting stance, Nayar cut a confident figure in the nets and was letting the bowlers know it. He was swatting them all around the park, whether they were fast bowlers or spinners. Finally, after wrapping up his session, he walked back to the dressing room with good mate Rohit Sharma. The handful reporters and cameramen who were idling around outside the boundary line, immediately sprang up to their feet and began clicking away, before surrounding Nayar for bytes.
Rohit, meanwhile, smiled and walked up the steps leading to the dressing room. Once up on the balcony, he playfully cheered his friend's newfound success and recognition, "Abhi…Abhi!", much to the latter's amusement.
CricketCountry's Jaideep Vaidya caught up with the man in demand for a few minutes after the media interaction. (Nayar appeared shocked when the writer asked for 20 minutes, saying he was going out for another shot at the nets in the afternoon. Talk of commitment!)
CricketCountry (CC): This was your fourth Ranji Trophy win as a Mumbai player. Would you say it was the most satisfying?
Abhishek Nayar (AN): I've enjoyed it [this season's win]. I can't say it's the most satisfying one. Obviously this one's brought a lot of relief, but I think the first Ranji Trophy win I was part of was very satisfying for me (Mumbai beat Bengal by 132 runs in 2006-07). I enjoyed that a lot. But taking things as they come, I think what's more important is to continue what we've done this year and carry it on to next year.
CC: You scored 99 in your second Ranji final in 2008-09 against Uttar Pradesh. Wasn't that performance more satisfying?
AN: Obviously I did well there and we won; it's satisfying. Here, I think I bowled pretty well (Nayar took two for 14 and one for three). Obviously, I didn't contribute a lot with the bat (scored 26 in Mumbai's innings), but the team won. So, I think every final has its own place and I can't compare them.
CC: Talk us through the recently-concluded Ranji season. What were the team's goals?
AN: I think when we started off, we wanted to get in the knock-outs; that was our first intention. Once we got there, we were looking to take it each game at a time. I think we played some clinical cricket during the knockout stages. But I think what's more important for us now is to carry that on.
CC: Mumbai was often criticised for being too defensive this season. There was some criticism saying the team was satisfied with going through on first-innings leads, and didn't go for wins. Do you think that was a fair assessment?
AN: Our first goal was to qualify. Once we did, we wanted to do well in the knockout stage. I think we took it step by step; we weren't obviously worried about what everyone else thought. It was about the team and what the team thought was right.
CC: The thriller group match against Madhya Pradesh, which ensured Mumbai's passage through to the knock-outs, was one of your best performances (Nayar scored 26 and 62, and took three for 46 and three for 56). Talk us through what went through.
AN: It was a close game for our team and that kind of changed the momentum [for the season] and shifted it towards Mumbai. I feel it was a very important game and it was important for someone to stand up in the team and I think the whole team stood up at that point, absorbed the pressure and helped each other get through.
CC: How is Ajit Agarkar as a captain?
AN: I think he's brilliant. I think he communicates really well with players and I've always believed he's the right man for the job.
CC: Are you excited about playing with the Pune Warriors India, alongside the likes of Michael Clarke and Yuvraj Singh?
AN: It's going to be amazing; I'm very excited. I'm really looking forward to it and, touchwood, I hope it goes well.
CC: Your career was hampered with wrist and ankle injuries in the last couple of years. You've said that then Mumbai coach Pravin Amre had helped you a lot during the time. Now, with him at the helm of the Pune Warriors, are you looking forward to working with him again?
AN: I'm very excited to work with him in the IPL again. Hopefully, it can be fruitful like it has been for my Ranji.
CC: You worked with a performance expert during your time at the Kings XI Punjab and mentioned he helped you immensely. Do you think all sportsmen should hire a performance expert or mental conditioning coach?
AN: I feel everyone has their own way of expressing themselves and [have] their own people that they talk to. It's up to individuals to decide what's best for them, but I feel most sportsmen do that anyway. I felt I needed it, so I took all the help that I could.
CC: Do you think you're cut out for all three formats of the game?
AN: If you ask me, obviously I'll tell you [I'm cut out for] all. I've always enjoyed cricket, so no matter what the format is, I'll always enjoy playing it.
CC: Do you think you've reached your peak as a cricketer?
AN: No, there is a lot more to come. I'm looking to get better day by day. I'm obviously not the kind of guy who can come up and tell you that this is where I stand and…I'll always look to get better and hopefully I do get better.
CC: At a time when the Indian team is looking to infuse young blood into its ranks, do you think that could play a role in your possible selection?
AN: I don't know about young or old, but I think it's about being fit, and I am fit. So that's all I think about.
CC: MS Dhoni had once said that he wasn't sure whether you were a batsman who can bowl or vice versa. What do you have to say to that now? Do you think you've proved your worth?
AN: He [Dhoni] is a legend. What he thinks is what he thinks; I can't sit and comment. But I think I've done well enough for anyone to recognise what they need to. If they want to, they will; if they don't want to, it's up to them. I can't really…there's not a lot I can say.
CC: Are you excited about the opportunity to play against Australia for India A?
AN: I am [excited]. If I get a chance, I'm hoping to do well.
CC: Any specific plans for the Aussies?
AN: No plans. I'm not a plan guy; I'm not a guy who can tell you what I'm going to do. [I'm] Pretty unpredictable that way.
CC: Talk us through your stance. Has it always been like that since childhood?
AN: It was worse; it's just gotten better (laughs). What you're seeing is a better version. I can't show it [the earlier version] to you, but I know it was terrible. If you know someone who's played with me in Under-14 [cricket], they'll tell you it's terrible. I've gotten better.
CC: Have you always been an all-rounder?
AN: No, I've always been on and off. I started off as a bowler, then I went on to be a batsman, then I stopped bowling completely. Later on, my school (Sharadashram Vidyamandir) coach, Naresh Churi, told me I should start bowling because he saw me bowling in the nets once. That's when I started bowling again.
CC: Any favourite all-rounder or cricketer?
AN: There've always been different people. Obviously Sachin [Tendulkar] is an idol I've always looked up to. I've always been in awe of Brian Lara. I've never had one person [I've looked up to]. But if there has to be one person, it has to be Sachin.
CC: Thanks a lot for your time, Abhishek! All the best!
AN: Cheers, bro!
Nayar was to be made captain of Mumbai for the Irani Trophy tie later that evening.

While I voted for Prop 30 and agree we must invest in public education, we also need to improve accountability and ensure quality standards Presently, the attrition rates are extremely high for both secondary and post-secondary education. Community colleges fair the worst with only 24% completing credential programs. Perhaps we need to look at more vocational skilled and apprenticeship programs instead of trying to have everyone get a college education.

"I always sit alone But not really I read and you read along When I'm lonely, you stay with me When I'm happy, you keep men from getting off my guard How can you be oppressive and friendly?

In 1996, the Haunted Mansion was given to the Saco Fire Department and burned to the ground during a training exercise while Sweeper — so named because he used to sweep the park — and most of the core crew watched from across Route 1. Ten years later, the crew is still blissfully haunted by the house.
Path of horror The Mansion was one of those rare efforts in life which exceeded the best intentions of everyone involved. While most amusement parks in the new millennium call a creaky ride through a mechanized trailer a "haunted house," the Mansion, which opened in 1979 and closed after the summer of 1995, elevated terror to a kind of religion thanks to a core group of self-described outsiders who worked there through high school and college and graduate school and into the beginnings of their real-world careers. At Cascade and Funtown, the jocks and the pretty girls stuck to the jobs outside, in the sun, where chatting it up with other unusually good-looking teenagers was as important as running the Galaxi Roller Coaster or handing a pink stuffed dog to a kid who just flipped a rubber frog onto the center of a lily pad. But inside the haunted house, the crew tended to be of a different breed — these were guys who liked math more than sports, who spent their free time making elaborate contraptions and then dismantling them, who doodled pictures of spider webs and skeletons all over their notebooks during English class. In short — these guys were weird.

Cross switches to Waratahs
Wallabies centre returns to Sydney
Last Updated: 24/06/10 9:25am
Cross: On the move
Sky Bet
Rugby Union Betting
Australia centre Ryan Cross has agreed a new one-year deal with the ARU - however he will be moving from Western Force to the Waratahs for next season.
Cross has decided to return home to Sydney having played rugby league for the Roosters before joining the Force in Perth in 2007.
And having been overlooked for the Test matches against Fiji, England and Ireland, the 30-year-old has set his sights on winning back his place in the Wallabies squad.
"I was pretty happy with the back end of my season this year and the body's feeling pretty good, so I think I've still got it in me to play at that level," he said.
"I'm disappointed not to be a part of the squad at the moment, but hopefully I can play some good Rugby and get another chance at the end of this year.
"If not, then hopefully I can have a good, strong season for the Waratahs (in 2011) and put myself in a position to be a part of the World Cup."

Hey Guys- I hope you don't find this annoying but I'm testing the waters on my lovetone pedals. I have a brown source, big cheese, meatball and a doppel ganger. They're all in immaculate condition and come with the owner's manual. I also have a lovetone pedal board that is a two level board that will house 4 lovetone pedals. Feel free to post up in here or PM me. I'm open to all offers but I'm just not ready to put a specific price on any of these. I can send pics and will most likely add some pics to this thread later tonight. Cheers.
