Seshadri is an engineer by profession. He holds a degree in electrical engineering and is also a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers in India. He lives in Mumbai, India and is an independent consultant in the marketing of industrial products.
This background might seem entirely unconnected with the world of art, but for decades Seshadri has been wielding the brushes as a hobby. Although he is an entirely self-taught artist ,he has held a few one-man shows to his credit and been part of regional group exhibitions in Bombay, Bangalore, and Delhi in the 70's and 80's. In the new Millennium he has had private shows in New York and San Francisco in the years 2006 and 2008.
Caught up in the rat race, however, he had little time to devote to my canvasses and virtually gave up painting. But the new millennium brought with it a new phase of creativity, and he has again finding himself painting and capturing the evanescent moments of life.

Bill Gates In Hell
Bill Gates goes to Pearly Gate.
St. Peter says, "Now Bill, you have done some good things, and you have done some bad things. Now I am going to let you decide where you want to go".
First, St. Peter shows Bill an image of Hell with beautiful women running on beaches. Then, St Peter shows Bill an image of Heaven with robed angels playing harps on clouds.
Bill chooses Hell.
About a week later, St. Peter checks in on Bill in Hell and finds him being whipped by demons.
Bill says to St. Peter, "What happened to all the beautiful women and the beaches?"
St. Peter replies, "That was just the screen saver."

I am off to a 15 day tour of the South India to attend to some family commitments. It is mid-summer and it's boiling hot over there. But I am looking forward to visiting some ancient places of historical interest and sharing them with you. I have the luxury of owning a Ipad now so that I can be in touch with FAR friends from far away. Cheers!

Weekend laughter!
About a century or two ago (?), the Pope decided that all the Indians had to leave Italy. Naturally there was a big uproar from the Indian community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Indian community.
If the Indian won, the Indians could stay.
If the Pope won, the Indians would leave.
The Indians realized that they had no choice. So they picked a middle-aged man named Mr.Singh to represent them. Mr Singh asked for one condition to the debate - neither side would be allowed to talk.
The Pope agreed.
The day of the great debate came.
Singh and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute.
Then the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers.
Singh looked back at him and raised one finger.
The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head.
Singh pointed to the ground where he sat.
The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine.
Singh pulled out an apple.
The Pope stood up and said,
"I give up. This man is too good. The Indians can stay."
An hour later, the cardinals were gathered around the Pope asking him what had happened.
The Pope said, "First I held up three fingers to represent the Holy Trinity.
He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still One God common to both our religions.
Then, I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us.
He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also right here with us.
I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us from our sins.
He pulled out an apple to remind me of original sin.
He had an answer for everything. What could I do?"
Meanwhile, the Indian community had crowded around Singh.
"What happened?" they asked.
"Well," said Singh
"First he said to me that the Indians had three days to get out of here.
I told him not one of us was leaving.
Then he told me that this whole city would be cleared of Indians.
I let him know that we were staying right here."
"Yes, and then???" asked the crowd.
"I don't know", said Singh,
"He took out his lunch, and I took out mine!"

I love this story soooooooo much , it is so funny yet true how people can think so differently and interpret things that are completely not related to the subject .
May 18 at 6:07PM
That is the problem with communications isn't it? we have to talk and understand one another.
May 18 at 10:14PM
LOL! What fun! We need more humour and understanding in the world! Funnily enough, it looks like they both thought they understood! LOL!!

Chicken Story
Farmer John lived on a quiet rural highway.
But as time went by, the traffic slowly built up and became so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six a day.
So one day Farmer John called the local police station and said, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing my chickens."
"What do you want us to do?" asked the policeman.
"I don't care, just do something about those crazy drivers!"
So the next day the policeman had the Main Road's workers go out to erect a sign that said:
Three days later Farmer John called the policeman and said,
"You've got to do something about these drivers. The 'school crossing' sign seems to make them go even faster!"
So, again, the policeman sends out the Main Roads workers and they put up a new sign:
That really sped them up. So Farmer John called and called and called every day for three weeks.
Finally, he asked the policeman, "Your signs are doing no good at all ... can I put up my own sign?"
The policeman said, "Sure, go ahead."
He was willing to let Farmer John do just about anything
in order to get him to stop calling to complain.
The policeman got no more calls from Farmer John.
Three weeks later, curiosity got the best of the policeman
and he decided to give Farmer John a call. "How's the problem with those drivers. Did you put up your sign?"
"Oh, I sure did,replied Farmer John, "and not one chicken has been killed since then. I've got to go. I'm very busy."
He hung up the phone.
The policeman was really curious and he thought to himself,
"I'd better go out there and take a look at that sign it might be something that WE could use to slow down drivers."
So he drove out to Farmer John's house, and his jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign.
It was spray painted on a sheet of wood....
Go slow and watch out for chicks!

The merits of keeping one's mouth shut.....tightly
Last night I was sitting in the living room, talking to my wife about life... In-between, we talked about the idea of living or dying.
I told her : Never let me live in a vegetative state, totally
dependent on machines and liquids from a bottle. If you see me in that state I want you to disconnect all the contraptions that are keeping me alive, I'd much rather die!
My wife got up from the sofa with this real look of admiration
towards me....and proceeded to disconnect the TV, the Cable, the Dish, the DVD, the Computer, the Cell Phone, the iPod, and the Xbox, and then went to the bar and threw away all my whisky, rum, gin, vodka & the beer in the fridge...
1. Think about what you wish for..!!!!

'Paraprosdokian' is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to re-frame or re-interpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect. For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists.
- I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

Digital art is not real art - it's "emulation" of art. For example, you can emulate traditional tools, you can use layers, you can use photo as tip layer or combine with photo, you can use 3D-editors to emulate real objects. Whereas traditional art is the creative expression of a creativity and imagination. I understand both sides of this argument 'digital vs traditional art'.. Digital art may not be tangible and you can 'undo'. Such being the case, how can any person compare traditional art made by hand with computer generated images! Clubbing both types in a contest is illogical and unfair to the traditional participants in the contests.They can live in harmony otherwise. But there should be a level playing field in the contests! I am glad that 2 forthcoming contests are for 'traditional' artists only!
April 29 at 1:22AM
I agree it would be best if traditional art and digital art were in different contests because they are totally different techniques of creating an artistic work. However I could also argue that oil painting and watercolors ought not be in the same contest or that abstracts ought not be in the same contests as realistic paintings or collages and sculptures ought not be in the same contests etc.
However, digital art can still be just as much a creative expression of imagination as traditional art. The only difference is the technique used in creation.
Digital art is just as tangible as any other art the minute you print it out and get a hard copy off the computer.
April 29 at 2:57AM
Do you alos define photogaphy as not being art because of the same reasoning?
April 29 at 9:41AM
I would agree about the seperation of contests..especially when some digital art takes a photo and paints over it..to me, using a photo and calling it art is wrong for an art contest.
April 29 at 1:32PM
Traditional art requires two things that digital art is not so often reliant on - steady hand control and an eye that can see the reality of what the artist wants to create on the blank page, but only in realistic work. In every other aspect there is no artistic difference between digital and traditional art. And digital art requires knowledge not found in traditional art - the knowledge of how to work with a vast array of potential tools to create the effects desired where they are desired, that can be brought to bear on any given piece. Seshadri, there is no difference between the artistic merits of traditional and digital art.
That said, I agree that traditional art and digital art would be fun to have in different contests. For one thing, the skills and artistry of digital art are very little understood by most artists and very much undervalued and maligned by those who do not understand the complexity of creating digital art. Take it from one who has been both a traditional artist and a digital artist - I pick digital art over traditional because it is so much more complex and fascinating and boundless than traditional art. But I respect the traditional artist for the skills they have to create the works they do. Ultimately, I am in awe of the fine artist, not because of whether they are traditional or digital, but because of their artistic vision of what they create - that's where Art lies!
April 29 at 2:49PM
thinking about it for a second - much digital art, and fine realistic digital painting also require exceptional hand control and eidetic eye, so not even that skill is owned solely by traditional artists.
April 29 at 3:04PM
I'm sitting in a empty room on the floor, I'm given a camera or a paint brush and ask to create art my imagination must create first!then my tools can capture it or record it! the art does't exsist until I see it in my mind! digital is more open to changes from start to finish! a rare luxuary traditional art does'nt get?e.g a strait line can become a circle at anytime if it suits the artist or even removed,the empty room the traditional artist sits in called the world!with digital artist it's call a program on a PC! lol opps here goes duck!:)
April 29 at 5:57PM
I understand both sides of this argument. Though digital art may not be tangible and you can undo, the fact still remains that it is an expression of human creativity and imagination. We should not try to split hair. The argument can go on endlessly on all forms of art. My submission is only with regards to the contest.The contests should be fair and just. Traditional and digital art should fall under separate categories. These can be subdivided into realism, abstract, mixed media etc depending on the contest organizers.I am very glad to see the reactions. Long Live Art!
April 30 at 3:23AM
Well, Seshadri, when you start out with a statement like, "Digital art is not real art - it's 'emulation' of art", you're going to stir up a hornet's nest, LOL. I agree with you that traditional art should be separated from traditional art. And realistic art should be separated from abstract art for contests. Abstracts are really the ugly step sisters to Realism, lol, in most people's opinions. In competitions featuring both realism and abstract, you have the realistic pictures as the leaders and the abstracts as the lowly also-ran entrants. I've just seen this with one spectacularly beautiful and exceptionally skillful abstract, and it made me slap my head in frustration.

Three Thoughts for the Day!
Thought 1
When we are born, our mothers get the compliments and the flowers.
When we are married, our brides get the presents and the publicity.
When we die, our widows get the life insurance.
What do women want to be liberated from?
Thought 2
The average man's life consists of:
Twenty years of having his mother ask him where he is going, Forty years of having his wife ask the same question; and at the end, the mourners wondering too.
Thought 3
A Man was walking down a street when he heard a voice from behind, "If you take one more step, a brick will fall down on your head and kill you."
The man stopped and a big brick fell right in front of him. The man was astonished.
He went on, and after a while he was going to cross the road. Once again the voice shouted, "Stop! Stand still! If you take one more step a car will run over you, and you will die." The man did as he was instructed, just as
a car came careening around the corner, barely missing him.
The man asked. "Who are you?" "I am your guardian angel," the voice answered.
"Oh, yeah?" the man asked "And where the hell were you when I got married?"

40 years of marriage . . .
A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 40th
wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table. She said, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each
other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'
The wife answered, 'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband
The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.
The husband thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me.
The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish.
So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!...the husband became 92
years old.
The moral of this story:
Men who are ungrateful bastards should remember fairies are female...

In a convent in Ireland, the 98-year-old Mother Superior lay dying.
The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey comfortable.
They tried giving her warm milk to drink but she refused it.
One of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen.
Then, remembering a bottle of Irish whiskey that had been received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened it and poured a generous amount into the warm milk.
Back at Mother Superior's bed, they held the glass to her lips.
The frail nun drank a little, then a little more and before they knew it, she had finished the whole glass down to the last drop.
As her eyes brightened, the nuns thought it would be a good opportunity to have one last talk with their spiritual leader.
"Mother'" the nuns asked earnestly, "Please give us some of your wisdom before you leave us."
She raised herself up in bed on one elbow, looked at them and said, "Don't sell that cow."

Tale of Two Indian Lions!
Two Indian lions escape from a zoo.
One of the lions had been captured from the jungle,so he runs back to the jungle.
The other was born in the zoo itself ---
so is basically a city-slicker.
He vanishes into the city.
Three days later the jungle-lion is recaptured -and returned to the zoo.
A month passes, then two, three ...
but city-lion is not traceable !
Finally, after six months
the city-lion is also recaptured and
brought back to the zoo.
Jungle-lion is amazed to see his friend.
Jungle-lion : For God's sake,how were you able to evade these guys for 6 whole months ?!
City-lion : That's nothing !I just went to a government department,and hid behind a huge pile of dusty files that they have there .
Jungle-lion : But what did you eat there ?
City-lion : OMG!there was an unlimited supply of government servants.
Whenever I ate one, they hired five more.
Nobody did any work anyway, so nobody missed the ones I ate.
Jungle-lion : Wow ! But, then how did you get caught ?
City-lion : I made a bloody mistake! ...
On the last day I ate the chai-walla.(Tea-boy)
Now, everyone missed the chai-walla & their chai (Tea) !
They launched a massive hunt.
And I got caught ... !
April 13 at 2:16AM

April 13 at 7:48PM
yes well, good comment on life! I used to teach many Pakistani children and remember one in particular, if he did good work, I let him tell me a story his mother told him- she was a marvelous woman and told him many,many stories, very different to most of the working class mothers, - they were delightful, lions and tigers and villagers and all manner of life of the sub continent. I asked him if she would let me tape them and I would write them out as hers, as I never, never take another cultures stories without asking first- I doubt her husband would have allowed it. Pleased you share some of these stories with us. Our own Indian grandmother my co-grandmother, talks of India and their family's experiences during the Raj, but not this type of national heritage-
hope to read many more

A priest was called away for an emergency. Not wanting to leave the confessional unattended, he called his rabbi friend from across the street and asked him to cover for him. The rabbi told him he wouldn't know what to say, but the priest told him to come on over and he'd stay with him for a little bit and show him what to do.
The rabbi comes over, and he and the priest are in the confessional.
In a few minutes a woman comes in and says, "Father, forgive me for I have sinned." The priest asks, "What did you do?". The woman says, "I committed adultery." Priest: "How many times?" Woman: "Three times."
Priest: "Say two Hail Mary's, put $5 in the box and go and sin no more."
A few minutes later a man enters the confessional. He says, "Father, forgive me for I have sinned." Priest: "What did you do?" Man: "I committed adultery." Priest:"How many times?" Man: "Three times."
Priest: "Say two Hail Mary's put $5 in the box and go and sin no more."
The rabbi tells the priest that he thinks he's got it so the priest leaves.
A few minutes later another woman enters and says, "Father, forgive me for I have sinned." Rabbi: "What did you do?" Woman: "I committed adultery." Rabbi: "How many times?" Woman: "Once." Rabbi: "Go do it two more times. We have a special this week, three for $5."

A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that, in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
"House" for instance, is feminine: "la casa."
"Pencil," however, is masculine: "el lapiz."
So, a student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female,
and asked them to decide for themselves whether "computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun.
Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men's group decided that "computer" should definitely be of the
feminine gender ("la Computadora" ), because:
(1). No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
(2). The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible
to everyone else
3). Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
(4). As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself
spending half your pay check on accessories for it.
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ("el computador"), because:
1). In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2). They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
( 3). They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
( 4). As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have
gotten a better model.
****** The women won.
March 17 at 11:27PM
Nice one! From a female perspective, I've always felt that computers are like men: can't live with them, can't live without them!
March 27 at 3:42AM
LOL. This is by far the best "battle of the sexes" joke I've ever heard in my LIFE! ROFL! :D

so I take it computers are bi-sexual and we their mechanics? Clever!

Sunday Smiles:
A concerned husband went to the doctor to talk about his wife. He said to the doctor, "I think my wife is deaf because she never hears me the first time and always asks me to repeat things." "Well," the doctor replied, "go home tonight, stand about 15 feet from her, and say something. If she doesn't reply, move 5 feet closer and say it again. Keep doing this until we get an idea about the severity of her deafness." The husband went home and did exactly as the doctor had instructed. He started off 15 feet from his wife in the kitchen as she was chopping some vegetables. He said, "Honey, what's for dinner?" He heard no response. He moved 5 feet closer and asked again. No reply. He moved 5 feet closer. Still no reply. He finally got fed up and moved right behind her, about an inch away, and asked again, "Honey, what's for dinner?" She replied, "For the fourth time, vegetable stew!"

Optical communication is any form of telecommunication that uses light as the transmission medium. Light, or visible light, is Electromagnetic radiation of a Wavelength that is visible to the Human eye (about 400–700
An optical communication system is nothing consists of a transmitter, which encodes a message into an optical signal, a channel, which carries the signal to its destination, and a receiver, which reproduces the message from the received optical signal.

A transmitter is an electronic device which usually with the aid of an antenna In the fields of communications, Signal processing, and in Electrical engineering more generally a signal is any time-varying or spatial-varying quantity Channel, in communications (sometimes called communications channel) refers to the medium used to convey Information from a

There are many forms of non-technological optical communication, including body language and sign language. Body language is a term for Communication using Body movements or Gestures instead of or in addition to sounds verbal language or other communication A sign language (also signed language) is a Language which instead of acoustically conveyed Sound patterns uses visually transmitted sign patterns
Techniques such as semaphore lines, ship flags, smoke signals, and beacon fires were the earliest form of technological optical communication. A semaphore telegraph, optical telegraph, shutter telegraph chain, Chappe telegraph, or Napoleonic semaphore is a system The smoke signal is one of the oldest forms of communication in recorded history Beacons are aids to Navigation devices Intentionally conspicuous beacons help guide navigators to their destinations
The heliograph uses a mirror to reflect sunlight to a distant observer. A Heliograph (from the Greek Helios ( Ἥλιος meaning "sun" and graphein (γραφειν = write is a wireless A mirror is an object with a surface that has good Specular reflection; that is it is smooth enough to form an Image. Reflection is the change in direction of a Wave front at an interface between two different media so that the wave front returns into the medium from which By moving the mirror the distant observer sees flashes of light that can be used to send a prearranged signaling code. Navy ships often use a signal lamp to signal in Morse code in a similar way. A ship /ʃɪp/ is a large vessel that floats on water Ships are generally distinguished from Boats based on size Signal lamp, also called Aldis lamp, is a visual signaling device for Optical communication (typically using Morse code) &ndash essentially a focused lamp Morse code is a Character encoding for transmitting telegraphic information using standardized sequences of short and long elements to represent the letters numerals
Distress flares are used by mariners in emergencies, while lighthouses and navigation lights are used to communicate navigation hazards. A flare gun is a gun that fires flares. They are typically used as a distress signal as well as other signaling purposes at sea and between aircraft and people on the ground A lighthouse is a Tower, building or framework designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses or in older times from a fire and used as an A Navigation light is a coloured source of illumination on an Aircraft, spacecraft or waterborne vessel, used to signal a craft's position Heading
Aircraft use the landing lights at airports to land safely, especially at night. Landing lights are lights used on Aircraft to illuminate the terrain and Runway ahead during Takeoff and Landing. An airport is a location where Aircraft such as airplanes, Helicopters and blimps take off and land Aircraft landing on an aircraft carrier use a similar system to land correctly on the carrier deck. An aircraft carrier is a Warship designed with The light systems communicate the correct position of the aircraft relative to the best landing glideslope.

Optical fiber is the most common medium for modern digital optical communication. An optical fiber (or fibre) is a Glass or Plastic fiber that carries Light along its length
Free-space optical communication is also used today in a variety of applications. In Telecommunications Free Space Optics (FSO is an Optical communication technology that uses light propagating in free space to transmit data between two points
Main article: Fiber-optic communication. Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending Light through an Optical fiber.
Optical fiber is the most common type of channel for optical communications, however, other types of optical waveguides are used within communications gear, and have even formed the channel of very short distance (e. An optical fiber (or fibre) is a Glass or Plastic fiber that carries Light along its length A waveguide is a structure which guides waves such as Electromagnetic waves Light, or Sound waves g. chip-to-chip, intra-chip) links in laboratory trials. The transmitters in optical fiber links are generally light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or laser diodes. A laser diode is a Laser where the active medium is a Semiconductor similar to that found in a Light-emitting diode. Infrared light, rather than visible light is used more commonly, because optical fibers transmit infrared wavelengths with less attenuation and dispersion. Infrared ( IR) radiation is Electromagnetic radiation whose Wavelength is longer than that of Visible light, but shorter than that of In Physics, attenuation (in some context also called extinction) is the gradual loss in intensity of any kind of Flux through a medium The signal encoding is typically simple intensity modulation, although historically optical phase and frequency modulation have been demonstrated in the lab. In Optical communications, intensity modulation ( IM) is a form of Modulation in which the optical power output of a source is varied in accordance The need for periodic signal regeneration was largely superseded by the introduction of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier, which extended link distances at significantly lower cost. An optical amplifier is a device that amplifies an Optical signal directly without the need to first convert it to an electrical signal

There seems to be a great deal of misplaced fuss over Rick Santorum contributing at WorldNetDaily. While I am used to this coming from the Left, it was a surprise to see Matt Lewis write at the Daily Caller that this means by attrition that Rick Santorum is not running for president in 2016.
1.) Santorum apparently decides against 2016 run – At least, that is the only conclusion one can draw from this press release from World Net Daily:
"Rick Santorum – the former U.S. senator who ignited grass-roots conservatives as a Republican candidate for president this year – today joins WND as an exclusive columnist. His commentaries will be featured each Monday."
Rick Santorum is not likely to pass up an opportunity to write an exclusive op-ed for a high traffic news website, nor would anyone who wants to get their message out to as many people as possible. He also offers exclusive commentary at Red State, Ricochet, and other websites.
Who else writes at World Net Daily? Thomas Sowell. David Limbaugh. Phyllis Schlafly. Dennis Prager. Star Parker. These are mainstream conservatives who support the Republican Party platform. To my knowledge, none of them are concerned about Barack Obama's birth certificate. Contributing at a website does not mean that you endorse everything on it. If it did mean that, I would take issue with Matt Lewis for writing at The Daily Caller, where Ann Coulter is also a columnist. Coulter has said that Mitt Romney is more conservative than Ronald Reagan. One doesn't get much more off the rocker than that.
It's very disappointing to see such an extreme charge against Rick Santorum from someone like Matt Lewis who is usually quite level-headed. I do hope he will re-think the idea of claiming that if you write for a website, you automatically endorse all of that website's editorials. I'm sure that most people understand that when Thomas Peters writes at the left-wing Washington Post it does not mean he has jumped ship to become a liberal. In like manner, when Rick Santorum writes at World Net Daily, it does not mean that he agrees with the editor or the other contributors on any issue unless he specifically says that he does.

Three blind mice,
Three blind mice,
See how they run!

They all ran after the

Who cut off their tails,
With a carving knife.

Third planet in the Setlik system.
This location became infamous when an unarmed United Federation of Planets outpost along the formerly disputed border with Cardassia was subject to a raid where 100 civilians were killed by a Cardassian militia squad in 2347. The next day, troops under Captain Maxwell of the U.S.S. Rutledge survived house-to-house fighting to reinforce the lone survivors in an outlying district.

This Valentine we're showing some love with one of our most recent TV creatives for Addition Elle. Addition Elle is a fashion forward retailer for plus size women. We wanted to focus on the playful, sexy side of their lingerie collection. It flaunts a little fashion, a whole lot of attitude and follows our "who says support can't be sexy" thinking. So this Valentine... Share the love. Share Addition Elle.
February 13, 2012
Mookai's recent TV creative for Addition Elle was launched amidst the music, celebrity and fashion of last night Grammy Awards. We created 3 spots each featuring a different aspect of Addition Elle's lingerie line. We wanted to celebrate the sexy side of support and the plus size woman. And we couldn't be more thrilled that we aired on the very same evening where one of our favorite voices... the very sexy, full figured Adele, walked away with 6 Grammys.
The TV campaign is running Canada wide February and March and online.

theres no money in skating all skaters are broke.. If you get into skating for money you've slipped hard to start with... This nigga backs Foundation not for the dough, but because they are the only legit company left. At least he's not on mountain dew or red bull making a fool of himself.

You have got to be under 30. Dude, I've slept on a ramp, in my car next to my board, in a jail cell. Wait until you're my age, 37, you'll see what I'm talking about. Nick - charge the Berrics. You are really good, better than Swank or Sinclair could hope to be. Get some $$$ before you break every bone in your body. Team Red Bull goes to way better parties than the F-Troop, take that to the bank - talk about Golden Vaginas.....

20.06.2012SINGAPORE, June 20, 2012 - SES announced that it leads the market in Asia-Pacific in meeting the increasing popularity of direct-to-home (DTH) satellite television across the region. Following a sustained period of investment in incremental satellite capacity in Asia-Pacific over the last decade, SES is now the leading satellite operator carrying the highest number of pay DTH channels in the region, with nearly 650 DTH channels. It also reaches 20 million pay TV homes in the region via DTH, or one in three DTH subscribers in Asia – more than any other satellite operator.
SES' prime orbital locations at 108.2 degrees East and 95 degrees East have been established as key video neighbourhoods in South Asia and Asia-Pacific which meet the growing needs of Asian DTH operators such as DishTV and Bharti Airtel in India, and MediaScape in the Philippines.
SES-8, which will be launched in the first quarter of 2013, will deliver vital expansion capacity to thriving Asian video neighbourhoods in South Asia and Indochina. SES currently operates a fleet of five satellites (NSS-12, NSS-6, NSS-11, SES-7 and NSS-9) serving Asia-Pacific.
Deepak Mathur, Senior Vice President Commercial, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East at SES, said: "The growth of the direct-to-home market in Asia-Pacific has been tremendous over the past five years and is a key reason why the demand for satellite capacity continues to grow in the region. We are delighted that consumers here are increasingly turning to the power of satellite technology to meet their needs for richer, higher quality content. As Asia goes digital, we are proud to be an enabler and will continue to invest in growth capacity for the region to grow with our customers as well as tailor our satellites to meet our customers' unique needs."
Across the globe, SES transmits over 5,000 TV channels, with more than 1,200 of them in HD. SES' 50 satellites cover 99 per cent of the world's population, reaching over 258 million households worldwide.

'Olympics doubled my turnover to £150,000': Riki Hutchinson supplied wine - and Kevin Spacey was his first customer
By Vicki Owen
Hollywood star Kevin Spacey was one of the first customers to sip on champagne supplied by Riki Hutchinson to Water Chariots, a company carrying spectators to the Olympic Park by canal.
Riki expects to more than double his £150,000 turnover for his drinks and event management firm, The Drinks Lover, thanks to the contract.
The 40-year-old is supplying the wine and managing catering on the 16 boats run by Water Chariots. At a pop-up stall at Limehouse, east London, visitors are given a glass of champagne or wine as they board the boats.
Smooth ride: Riki Hutchinson supplies wine to visitors to the Olympics
He won the deal after attending an event run by Business Networking International. Corporate customers have included Aviva and Nokia, with £45 return tickets, or £95 for VIPs, offering a 'more peaceful' journey to the Victoria Gate entrance to the park than by public transport.
Riki says: 'The Olympics has seen more sports tourists and fewer
Londoners because they have not been able to get tickets, but for the
Paralympics we are expecting Londoners to be out in force, and the
pricing will be a lot less corporate.'
He expects profits to continue after
the Games as people visit the Olympic Park.
He says: 'People are talking about one or two million visitors to the
Park site after the Games, and we want to be a part of that experience,
showing them East London's waterways.'
With 20 years' experience in vineyards including at Montana Wines in New
Zealand, Riki set up The Drinks Lover in Plaistow, east London, in 2010
with a £500 order.
He says: 'I source interesting wine, rather than just saying "here are 500 cases". I look for the right products. The champagne Kevin Spacey was drinking was from Silverado, a company co-owned by Walt Disney's daughter.'

In 2004, as a dispatcher for the Idaho State Police, Melissa Stoker Stroh met her future husband, Staff Sergeant Eric Stroh, an Idaho State Police Trooper and member of the Army Reserve. In May 2006, after establishing a life together, Eric was deployed to Iraq where in October 2006 he was severely injured.
As Melissa recalls, "My world was turned upside down on October 26thwhen I got a phone call that Eric had been hit by an IED." Having suffered serious damage to his lower leg, Eric was sent to Walter Reed Hospital upon his return to the U.S and began extensive rehabilitation.
All the while, Melissa ensured she was with him every step of the recovery process. It is during this time that Melissa and Eric were wed. And now, considering their joint future together and knowing that she will be the family breadwinner, Melissa has enrolled in the University of Idaho's Executive MBA program through which she will gain an executive skill set that will allow her to fully support her family in the future.

Carrot Seed Oil |
This thin, yellow oil distilled from ground seeds is rich in Beta-Carotene and is valued for its soothing and relaxing properties. It is able to stimulate cell renewal, helping to deter or reduce wrinkles. It also protects skin exposed to weather extremes. The oil has a heavy, woodsy, earthy, fruity scent. Aliases: Daucus Carota Sativa
Chamomile Oil |
There are two chamomiles: Roman and German. Both produce the light blue oil, azulene, which has been used since ancient times for its invigorating qualities. The oil has soothing calming and anti-inflamatory properties and is ideal for sensitive, dry and inflamed skin. Rejuvenating and relaxing, European facialists rave about this fragrant annual herb. Chamomile is a vasoconstrictor; it causes small blood vessels to shrink and can help to reduce facial redness due to enlarged capillaries. Aliases: Anthemis nobilis
Cocoa Butter |
Cocoa Butter is the cream-colored fat extracted from cacao seeds (cocoa beans) a plant fat and rich emollient, containing natural antioxidants, which penetrate through the dermis to the epidermis, the second layer of skin providing unparalleled moisturisation. Cocoa Butter has powerful healing and calming properties and is exceptional in assisting those suffering with eczema, scars, burns, uneven skin tone and aging skin. It has a smooth texture and a pleasant aroma and leaves a protective layer sealing in the healing qualities of the essential oil contained in the product and retaing moisture. It has a sweet chocolate aroma and is one of the most stable, highly concentrated natural fats known, and melts at body temperature so that it is readily absorbed into the skin. Recent research indicates that massaging the skin with cocoa butter may help relieve stress, boost the immune system, and even prevent cancer. This is because cocoa butter, like chocolate, contains a lot of CMP. Researchers in Japan reported that CMP inhibits the growth of cancerous cells and tumors by reducing active oxygen levels in the body, and concluded that CMP inhibits the oxidation of LDL (good) cholesterol and the production of inflammatory cells; there is some evidence that the CMP in cocoa butter may also help prevent heart disease and ease arthritic symptoms. We use an organic cocoa butter that originates from Peru. Aliases: Theobroma Cacao

Beyond Box Scores: Spartans enjoying "new" game
By Rob Daniels
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Warren Slack hung a slider and his head in short order. He watched the swing, checked out the ball off the bat and presumed it was bound for Walker Avenue.
"Even asked for a new ball," the UNCG pitcher said, referring to the hurler's melancholy request of the umpire.
Much to Slack's surprise – shock, really – the fly ball took its last breaths on the edge of the warning track. Welcome to college baseball in 2011. It's a "new" game these Spartans seem to like.
The reverberation of the ball off college baseball's new, toned-down bat is more U2 than AC/DC, and the Spartans are more than OK with that. They started Southern Conference play with a three-game sweep of Western Carolina, and with a victory over Appalachian State on Friday, they'd be 4-0 for the first time in 11 years. Chalk it up to chalking up less.
"We built this team on pitching and defense and so it's not a negative for us," coach Mike Gaski said.
Gaski was on the NCAA committee that recommended the new bat, which has less of a trampoline effect than its circus-act precursors. And while it's too soon to make definitive statements, the early returns seem beneficial to a team that plays in the SoCon's largest park and routinely produces pitchers taken in the draft's first 10 rounds.
Rules changes don't always produce the immediate and stark results fans believe they do. In many cases and many sports, the revolution is gradual and can only be ascertained with data in bulk. Not so here. Through games of March 14, SoCon teams had already thrown seven more shutouts than they did in all of last season. The league-wide ERA was 4.19 – down an astonishing 36 percent from what it had been only a year earlier (5.99).
Think steroid detection has changed Major League Baseball lately? The composite ERA in the American League was 4.14 last year, down from 4.63 in 2004. That's an 11-percent dip, and it's over a seven-year inclusive span. Take that and multiply it a few times and you get the impact the college game is now witnessing.
To think of it another way: Imagine college basketball's 3-point line going out another three to five feet.
Through 17 games, UNCG had 11 victories and six home runs. Until recently, that was unheard of. And even the hitters don't seem to mind.
"The fundamentals of the game come into play 10 times more with these new bats," said sophomore first baseman Trevor Edwards, who leads the team with 10 RBI. "All these things are much more reinforced now.
"It's a good direction that college baseball is going in (rather than) having batters get one-handed home runs. That strays from the game's roots."
Just take one look at UNCG Baseball Stadium, and you'll begin to form some guesses about how and why this is playing out so far. The facility's dimensions, which stretch 340 feet down both lines and 405 to dead center, are such that the inherent power reduction takes homers away rather than simply mitigating the "Wow" factor that stems from how far the ball clears the fence.
Slack, 3-0 on the year, has seen the benefits in all of his starts in the new season. In his most recent game, he recorded 11 outs on fly balls to the outfield.
Diversity of pitch offerings – a new slider, for example – helps. And mentally, it's comforting to know you really can let the batter make contact.
Something amazing happened on Wednesday night. UNCG claimed a 1-0 victory over Princeton, its first triumph by that minimalist score in three years and two weeks.
The result kept the Spartans going from their auspicious league start, marked by last weekend's home sweep of Western Carolina. UNCG didn't sweep a weekend series at all last year, and it prepares to host Appalachian, 0-6 in the SoCon.
"We need to come out with a good effort," Edwards said. "We need to put a hurt on these guys. A sweep of Western Carolina is good, but you need to follow that up."
The first 100 UNCG students attending Friday's game will receive a free hot dog or hamburger. Call it food for thought about a game that now requires more brain than bash.

Publishers share their successes with paid content models
Day 2 at the 2012 Key Executives Mega Conference
Read a sample from "Paid content: coming of age"
Just two years after being dismissed as a failed strategy, paid online content modules have become a full blown movement.
While pundits and the public watched to see how the New York Times' model would be received, the rest of the industry wasn't waiting.
Despite an unfriendly economy and changes in reader and advertiser behavior, most weekly publishers are bullish on the future of community newspapers. In a recent survey, 72 percent expressed optimism about the future of newspapers. And while they see some promise in digital revenue, they believe print will play an enduring role: Two-thirds don't envision a time when they'll no longer produce a print edition.
Notes and insights from the 2012 Key Executive Mega Conference.
News website producers, wouldn't it be great if visiting your organization's website became an automatic, ingrained, rewarding habit your audience engaged in as part of their normal daily routine?
After the great response from readers, we decided to address some of the issues that we believe will lead to more brain friendly journalism.
Journalism's guiding principle when it comes to content production and delivery appears to be give the audience more and give it to them faster. This has become even more evident to me as I prepare to conduct an experiment investigating how the content and packaging of online news stories and advertising effects the way readers pay attention to, learn from and respond to online news content. If results of my experiment turn out the way I predict, not only will the research demonstrate the value of applying brain science to online news production but it will show how the manner in which most online news websites are structured goes completely against my notion of "brain-friendly" news content.
I spent last year at RJI studying audience engagement — reading, talking, interviewing, writing, more reading — and ended that year motivated to put what I'd learned into practice.
Luckily, the job I came back to was in a newsroom built on experimentation, with colleagues willing to go along on the engagement ride.
In August, we kicked off the Missourian's community outreach team, made up of students in a class I teach called Participatory Journalism. (The class has existed for years and was developed by Clyde Bentley, also a Reynolds fellow.) This year, the focus of the class broadened to include more ways the relationship between journalists and their communities are changing.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." – George Santayana
Obviously that's not a phrase from the Bible.
As far as I can find, Santayana wasn't even a Christian.
Yet that phrase fits many American "Christians" today so firmly that it almost makes me shake. How?
Today's American "Christians" have essentially become just like the children of Israel in the Old Testament.
Look at this from Ezekiel:
And he said to me, "Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to nations of rebels, who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day. The descendants also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD.' And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that a prophet has been among them. And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house. And you shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house. "But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you." (Ezekiel 2:3-8 ESV)
And then look at America today.
How many people who profess to be Christians look at things the Bible clearly calls sin that the world loves and then take the world's view as their own?
How many people who profess to be Christians take pride in attacking those who stand on the word of the Bible through writing/blogging or verbally when it conflicts with the society we live in?
How many people who profess to be Christians "walk away from the church" because it "isn't relevant to today's world" and "doesn't line up with our culture"? When did Jesus say that we're to line truth up with the world's culture instead of His father?
How many people who profess to be Christians have actively done things to harm ministries and other believers because those ministries/people are standing on Scripture instead of what Ellen DeGeneres or George Clooney or Matt Damon or Kim Kardashian or certain politicians say is "what's right"?
How many people who profess to be Christians don't even really know what the Bible says on the important issues of our day?
They haven't read the Word as it is. They don't see it. They don't want to follow it. They deny it.
And right now, they're repeating it whether they realize it or not.
They're in rebellion against God while still claiming to be followers of Christ.
For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. (2 Timothy 3:2-5 ESV)
Satan has placed soldiers in our camp and they are making advances. God's people are being overrun by "God's people".
And to those who've read the Bible, we know what happens when God's people in majority turn away from His truth.
And it's driving me to prayer more and more.

I see these on almost all new packs bigger than day packs. I notice that all of the models in the REI catalogs use them. I notice that in real life, very few people seem to use them. I know one of the first things I do when I get a new pack is cut the stupid thing off.
Who uses it?
