The fragrance of kebabs wafts out of the very mention of Lucknow and the cultural bonanza it offers is the stuff dreams are made of. The city is synonymous with Nazakat and Nafasat. The name may well have been associated with Lakshmana, Lord Rama's brother, according to some beliefs. Lucknow was ruled by the Delhi Sultanate, shifted to the Mughals and later the Nawabs took over. The British Raj made Awadh a buffer state. The Treaty of 1801 gave it a semblance of autonomy. Wajid Ali Shah was the namesake ruler. In 1856, the English were impatient. They took over Awadh on a sheer pretext. Lucknow was the epicenter of the Mutiny, in 1857. The 14-year- old son of Begam Hazrat Mahal was crowned the ruler. It took till August 1947, when India became independent, Lucknow was under their rule. Lily recapitulates her stay in this city, as an Army wife. She tells us about the people, Chikankari and Zardozi, its food and ambiance, in the weekly column, exclusively for Different Truths.
When the rumblings of the next posting starting resounding in our ears, we were startled out of our wits. It was a third consecutive posting in Uttar Pradesh. A rare occurrence, if you ask me. The bonanza being the fact that it was the capital city of Lucknow. The fragrance of kebabs wafts out of the very mention of its name and the cultural bonanza it offers is the stuff dreams are made of. Well, definitely my dreams. The city is synonymous with Nazakat and Nafasat. The name may well have been associated with Lakshmana, Lord Rama's brother, according to some beliefs. The Dalits feel that it could be named after Lakhan Pasi. Lucknow was ruled by the Delhi Sultanate, shifted to the Mughals and later the Nawabs took over.
The British Raj made Awadh a buffer state. The Treaty of 1801 gave it a semblance of autonomy. Wajid Ali Shah was the namesake ruler. In 1856, the English were impatient. They took over Awadh on a silly pretext. Lucknow was the epicentre of the Mutiny, in 1857. The 14-year- old son of Begam Hazrat Mahal was crowned the ruler. It took the British 18 months to recapture Lucknow. From then on, till August 1947, when India became independent, Lucknow was under their rule.
The tinkle of the courtesans' ghunghrus (anklet bells) and the mellifluous voices of ghazal and thumri singers reverberates in the narrow gullies and kuchaas (by-lanes and alleys) of the old walled city. The Chowk area drew me like a magnet, as I roamed in the by-lanes hungrily absorbing the sights and sounds that took me back to another era. The language had a refined cadence. It was Urdu that dripped with elegant courtly words. I went hunting for chikankari embroidery that dates back hundreds of years, more than 400 years in Lucknow. It originated in the Moghul courts in the 16th -17th century. With the degeneration of the Moghul courts, craftsmen came to Lucknow. The earliest reference is found in 3 rd century BC, when the Greek traveller, Megasthenes, records its presence in the courts of Chandragupta Maurya.
Chikankari has myriad delicate stitches, ten different kinds to be precise, which are traditionally embroidered with white cotton thread on thin white cotton or muslin fabric to suit the hot weather. The distinct flavours were of shadow work and Murri stitch. It has evolved now to suit modern tastes but nothing beats the age old workmanship and kaarigari (workmanship). In my search inside the old Darwaazas and gateways, I stumbled upon wooden frames in each little house where small boys sat around silk or crepe fabric stretched across the frame. They were busy doing fine Zardozi embroidery. It was just like it must have been during the time of the Nawaabs. The golden zari thread creates magic on the cloth, fit for any queen anywhere in the world. Lots of historical films in Hollywood still look towards Lucknow embroidery for their extravaganzas. It pained me to see old ladies and young children in sheer penury, despite the hard work they put in to do the fine chikan embroidery and the intricate back breaking Zardozi, while the fancy designers sold the same at phenomenal prices and earned lakhs. Life is never fair to the ones who truly sweat it out. As I watched the yards of cloth drying on the banks of the Gomti River, I wondered if these poor people would ever earn enough.
The Sunday bazaar was a sea of Burquas in the Chowk area. I also discovered an old gentleman. He did the finest kaam daani (mukaish) work. He created intricate designs by using silver wire on chiffons and georgettes. The whole city seemed to be involved in artistic creativity of some kind. I developed a family relationship with Shabbu Bhai, whose home was home for me, if I ever went into the maze of gullies. An ancient Peepal tree takes me unerringly to his house. He still makes Zardozi for my daughter and me. He got married in front of us and lovingly calls me aapa (elder sister). I attended many a Majlis for ladies during the holy season. Lucknow is the hub of Shia Muslims and the Muharram processions with the taazieh is a sight to behold. The last mourning procession, known as chup taazieh is held on the morning of the 8th of Rabbi Ul Awwal, the third Muslim month and includes Alam (flags), zari and taazieh (an imitation of the mausoleums of Karbala ).The gigantic black taazieh is buried in Karbala Kazmain, where the silent procession ends.
The Nawabs of Lucknow were great patrons of the fine arts. Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, the last Nawab had lots of stories attached to his rather unique persona. He was very fond of the classical dance form of Kathak that had its roots in Lucknow. Lachhu Maharaj, Achhchan Maharaj, Shambhu Maharaj, Birju Maharaj, kept that tradition of Kathak alive, which was once passionately espoused by Wajid Ali Shah. Akhtari Bai Faizabadi also made Lucknow her home. She later came to be known as the renowned Begum Akhtar, whose ghazals and thumris never fail to move the listener. "Aye mohabbat tere anjaam pe rona aaya," she crooned her way into our hearts.
Numerous institutes of music and theatre groups like IPTA, TAW, Darpan Josh performed stage shows. Lucknow was the birthplace of Talat Mehmood, Naushad and Anup Jalota, the Bhajan King.
Our home was at the edge of the Cantonment and behind the old Mohammad Bagh Club. To my horror, I learnt that a dear friend, colleague and an army wife had committed suicide in the same house. I often lay awake in the bedroom till late at night gazing fearfully at the fan from which she was supposed to have hanged herself to death. A mulberry tree cast its shade over the garage and dropped over ripe, blood red fruit on the ground. Kids would climb the tin roof of the garage and pluck the luscious fruit. There was a tree right outside the gate, which had huge mustard coloured fruit with tough shells called Bel. The leaves of this tree have a sacred connotation as they are offered in worship to Lord Shiva. The pulp is used for its cooling and medicinal value in the scorching heat of summers. A huge Peepal tree also grew in the front lawns. Often a devout or superstitious woman would come and light a clay lamp below it. Spirits are believed to reside in its branches.
The biggest boon for me was the family that lived in the quarters attached to our home. They were descendants of one of the families that were the baawarchis or chefs of the Royal families. They would make the most delicious Mughlai versions of vegetarian kebabs like the unique raw banana kebab and kidney bean kebabs. I was in seventh heaven, intoxicated with the aromas of whole spices seducing my senses. As the whole world knows by now that Lucknow cuisine is one of the richest in India. The Biryani, kebabs and bread have the Nawabi style of Awadh. Kakori, gilawati, shami, patile ke, seekh, ghutwa and boti are some of them. The almost hundred years old shop of Tunde Ke Kebab in Chowk still retains its authenticity sans frills and flounces. The melt-in- the-mouth gilawati kebab was the brain child of a royal chef for a Nawab, who had lost his teeth but not his desire for the tasty kebabs. Sitting in Aminabad one can relish the food of the kings. Royal Hotel Basket Chaat in Hazratganj and kulfi at Aminabad beat the best in the world. Shakhawat Ke Kebabs in a narrow lane behind Gymkhana Club are irresistible. Dastarkhaan, near Tulsi Theatre, in Hazratganj, paani bataashe near Chhappan Bhog, in Sadar Bazaar are famous haunts for foodies along with Bajpai Kachori shop, in Hazratganj and Ram Asrey sweet shop in Baanwali Gali, Chowk. My personal favourite was the dahi bada in Chappan Bhog, in the Sadar Bazaar of the Cantonment and a light as air sweet made from froth that was called makhan malai. This was sold by vendors in the Chowk area. It was milk froth put out in the dew in the moonlight. The taste was like manna from heavens. I have yet to taste any street food more drool worthy than this. The saffron coloured thick bread toasted in a mud oven is typical to Lucknow. It is called Sheermaal. The addition of milk and sweetness give it a distinct taste.
The most endearing part was the chaste Urdu language that had the divinity of the Azaan and the sophistication of a classy lady. Even if one asked the way from a sweaty and exhausted rickshaw puller, he will stop and explain in sweet and formal words, with a polite tone and respectful manner. This land gave us poets like Mohsin Kakorvi, Josh Malihabadi Majaz and Khumhar Barabankvi.
The gluttony that I forgive myself for was my unladylike capacity to polish off numerous mangoes at one go. The dedication with which I ate the Dassehri mangoes bordered on reverence. They came to Lucknow from the choicest orchards around the city and were hot items for export. A lot of mango diplomacy also took place between politicians and businessmen.
Lucknow zoo is one of the oldest in the country and was established, in 1921. It has many rare animals. The state museum is housed in the botanical garden. It has collections of sculptures as old as 3rd century AD. There are many minutely carved stone sculptures from Mathura.
The Nawabs of Awadh were connoisseurs of all arts. They constructed many beautiful and memorable structures. Asaf Ud Daula created the shrine complex where he built the Bara Imambara, the Asfi Mosque and a labyrinth called Bhulbhulayiyan, which is the only maze in India. The Nawab's tomb is below the Asafi Mosque. Then Chota Imambara is also a congregation complex, which has an unfinished watch tower outside it. The Nawab wanted to make it similar to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The British Residency is a national monument and has bullet-marked walls from the time of the Mutiny of 1857 and the Siege of Lucknow. History resides silently amongst these ruins.
One of the monuments that had me awestruck was Constantia House, which had interesting Italian techniques of architecture. It presently is the location of the La Martniere School which, features in many Hindi films. The best specimens of Awadhi style of architecture is the huge gateway built by Asif Ud Daulah known as Rumi Darwaza. The Roman and Ottoman Empire comes to mind as you look at this entrance to the old city. It is an impressive and imposing structure visible from far.
I spent some fruitful and satisfying moments each day, visiting the Army School for special children called Asha. I would read to the kids or play with them. I was also actively involved with welfare activities for ladies, as I was the secretary of the Ladies Club. It was in some ways a royal posting. We saw the army commander being driven in an antique car of early vintage. There were ceremonial occasions when the horse-drawn buggy or carriage was taken out for the army commander. The Mohammad Bagh Club had numerous famous performing artistes visiting it. I was fortunate to watch Asha Bhosle and Sonu Nigam perform live.
Sometimes the chill brought with it a light mist that shrouded the atmosphere. An incident that often comes to my mind was the mystery of the bulbs of our gladioli vanishing each day mysteriously. Without my knowledge, a trap was laid to trap the suspenseful intruder. A booby trap showed up an unusual visitor the next morning. It was a rather hefty porcupine with vicious looking needles. He apparently enjoyed the flower bulbs and dug them up each night.
One evening a senior British lady rang our doorbell. She told me that she had come looking for the house that she used to live in with her parents when her father was posted as a colonel ordinance in this Cantonment. After much deliberation, she concluded that the two houses in front of our home were actually one huge bungalow that had been divided into two. She was misty eyed and told us about a glorious childhood, where she could cycle inside the humungous sitting room as a little girl. I was taken aback by the vintage of old British cantonments. The refined polish of Lucknawis (as the locals were called) mingled with the todas of Kathak and the strains of the sarangi as the words of "Aye Mohabbat tere anjaam pe rona aaya" ricocheted off the gullies and koochaas of the walled city.

Title: History of the Sikhs, Volume 2: 1839-2004
Author: Singh, Khushwant
Publisher: Oxford University Press; Publication Date: 2005
Paperback; ISBN: 9780195673098

First published in 1963, this remains the most comprehensive and authoritative book on the Sikhs. The new edition updated to the present recounts the return of the community to the mainstream of national life. Written in Khushwant Singh's trademark style to be accessible to a general, non-scholarly audience, the book is based on scholarly archival research.Volume 1: 1469-1839: This volume covers the social, religious and political background which led to the formation of the Sikh faith in the fifteenth century. Basing his account on original documents in Persian, Gurmukhi and English, the author traces the growth of Sikhism and tells of the compilation of its sacred scriptures in the Granth Sahib. The transformation of the Sikhs from a pacifist sect to a militant group called the Khasla led by Guru Gobind Singh is portrayed in detail, as is the relationship of the Sikhs with the Mughals and the Afghans, until the consolidation of Sikh power under Maharaja Ranjit Singh.Volume 2 takes up the thread at the death of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1839, focusing on the continuing Sikh struggle for survival as a separate community. The author chronicles the years following Indian independence, marked by the demand for a distinct Sikh state, and presents the events leading up to, and following, "Operation Blue Star," when the Indian army entered the Golden Temple. The new edition includes an epilogue that analyzes events following the end of terrorism in Punjab and the achievement of the community's aspirations--never more visible than in the elevation of a Sikh to the country's highest political office.

The military announced Tuesday that Marine Maj. Mark Thompson — who has long insisted that he was falsely accused of having sex with two U.S. Naval Academy students — will face a court-martial on allegations that he lied repeatedly in an effort to prove his innocence.
After revelations about Thompson's case appeared in The Washington Post, the military charged him in April with making a false official statement and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. The former history instructor is accused of lying to a group of Marines who reviewed his case, pushing a comrade to lie for him at Thompson's 2013 court-martial and lying to The Post about the two students.
It's that thang, I tell you. As the Greaseman* has told us more than once, it's the most sought-after commodity in human history and yet, at the same time, it's the most ruthless predator and most cunning opponent that has every walked the face of the Earth– cruel, insatiable, vindictive, inexorable, both terrible and beautiful to behold, the ruin of many a good man.
Good luck to you, Marine.
* You can damn well stand up and @#$%ing salute at the mention of that name, too.

Best Lobster Salad I've Had!!
My daughter sent me this amazing gift as a Mother's Day present and I can't think of anything that would have been a nicer treat. I enjoyed the lobster for several days and didn't share a bite with anyone!! I'm just sorry it's gone. The lobster chunks were humungous and the seasoning was light but delicious. Don't know when I've ever had better lobster salad.

Who is better, anime or cartoon?
If the two came together and had an all out war, who would win? I'll be fighting for anime, saying it'll definitely win against cartoons.
- Can throw in any cartoon/anime character dead or alive
- Respect my opinion and Ill respect yours
It would depend on what the 'fight' would be. If it were based on a actual fight, anime would likely win. However if it were based on other things (such as intelligence), cartoons would almost certainly win. That is, if American and non-Asian "anime" are actually cartoons.
By anime I mean Japanese created cartoons.
This deate was supposed to be, which was better in terms of strength. But I'm sure anime would still win if we were talking about, intelligence or which one was more smarter.
Anime characters are intelligent in their own ways and I'm sure the same thing goes for cartoons.
There are smart and intelligent characters like,
The genius prince with the ability to change the world. Lelouch has insane tactical, military, scientific, analytical and deductive reasoning abilities. Lelouch was able to lead a large military organization, Black Knights, against the government and eventually lead the entire world. Lelouch is also extremely persuasive, he can convince people to follow him and he is also very deceptive able to hide his Geass from even his closest friends. Lelouch is also adept technically with his ability to pilot a Knightmare. Lelouch also changed the entire world into a greater place by executing his greatest plan, Zero Requiem. His only setback is Geass, he used a magic power to manipulate people instead of his sheer charisma and persuasive skills
This girl is crazy, she is a prodigy child with an IQ of over 200! She is so intelligent that she doesn't even need to go to school, she speaks 5 different languages and to top it off is only 14. When Kanzaki is at school she can manipulate people with ease and carries out classroom terrorism without ever being suspected. Her reasoning, logic, problem solving, manipulation, charisma are off the charts and no one has ever made her mad and escape unharmed. Kanzaki continually shows she is smarter then everyone by effortlessly finding solutions to problems, cruel as those solutions may be they are effective. Kanzaki uses her insane genius to torment others mainly for her own enjoyment, she can do whatever she wants and no one can punish her because she is the prodigy of the school. Kanzaki is surprisingly the only girl on the list, though her terrifying genius is not one to mess with.
I'm sure there are plenty of cartoon characters that are also smart and intelligent in their own ways, but not more intelligent than anime characters.
Superman at his most powerful can pretty much do anything. Superman Prime 1 Million is on an entirely different level. Superman's travels lasted from the 21st Century to the turn of the 700th Century. During this 679 century odyssey, he acquired vast abilities and skills from every being he met and gained perfection over all the abilities he received. He even broke through the Source Wall and studied under the Source itself, meaning he could have a portion of the Source's power or more. The true extent of abilities he received from the Source are unknown. When he returned to Earth, he forged a covenant with his descendants. In this conenant, he would bestow upon them a small fraction of his power as long as they served for truth and justice. He also gained the abilities of his lineage and magnified them with his own power (for example, the Superman of the 67th century married the queen of the 5th Dimension, GZNTPLZK, which in turn gave Superman Prime the abilities and powers of a 5th Dimension Imp). After the covenant he left and returned to his Fortress of Solitude in the center of the Super Sun. (DC One Million)

For intelligence, though:
Aside from legitimately creating the Universe in Family Guy, he also has done many, many other feats that are to this day; impossible. He has created a time machine, which, by reverse engineering it, he used to create the Universe. He has built the Holodeck from Star trek. Has a room that defies all space, being bigger than it should be on the inside (although that may be an oversight). Need him to eliminate someone? Snipe the weaker ones from far away. Needs to take out someone like Goku? Build a death ray to destroy him. He may not be the most physically powerful person there is. But since Stewie is a baby, of all things, when he grows up, he most likely will be much, much smarter.

Your character examples are ants compared to anime characters.
Kaguya (from anime series, Naruto)
Kaguya is an extraterrestrial being from from outer-space. Kaguya is able to travel trough dimensions, teleport, create portals, use the moon against everyone on planet earth, create beings. She also has the power to see what moves an opponent will do and sense when something evil is about to harm her. Kaguya is so powerful that, by herself, can make dimensions and travel through them in a split second. Kaguya is an actual Goddess, She's very very powerful
Sasuke (Also from Naruto)
Sasuke has the ability to put you in another world just by looking at his eyes. Sasuke is a fearless character that uses his sharingan (magical and infamous eyes), is able to summon demon skeletal spirits that protect and fight with him. Sasuke can also breath fire out of his mouth, form a dangerous electrical sphere that is used to kill enemies(chidori), teleport, summon black fire that burns people(cannot be extinguished), he also has perfect accuracy when throwing knives or ninja stars
Saitama (from anime series, One Punch Man)
Able to travel at extreme speed. Can make an enemy explode with one punch.
Anime would beat cartoon in a war anytime, anywhere, any day.

Technically, anime is a cartoon. But as you specified the only difference is that it's japanese. Also, the pro doesn't necessarily have to specify an anime series. Since he did say,it was a all out total war between the two. So this means that all anime series and cartoon series are going to be fighting against each other. Oh yah, by the way, the term "cartoon" the pro used is pretty used for must western, animated TV shows. Now I don't know if this includes adult cartoons like the Simpsons or futurama. I'm just going to assume that the pro is including those as well.

text: We have been to the moon, thanks to NASA, but never to Mars. Going to Mars is something that humanity has envisioned ever since it set foot on the moon. However, decades ago we lacked the means and the power to facilitate safe passage to Mars, one of the many planets in our solar system. With the recent technological advancements, plans are underway to have some of us travel to Mars. Due to President Trump's directive for NASA to take people to Mars by 2033, the space agency has been on its toes to come up with a detailed plan for the expedition. According to NASA, their plan will encompass five phases. Although the project is expected to experience severe challenges, the space agency is determined to bring President Trump's directive to fruition. Currently, there are ongoing tests to determine how best NASA can take people to Mars. Besides, launching and testing of rockets is expected to be held in the coming year so as to deliver vital components to the Deep Space Gateway. NASA's move has come as a challenge to other companies that deal with space exploration. Whereas NASA projects to safely take us to the moon by 2033, other corporations guarantee an early Mars arrival, presumably by the year 2022. Thus, such a scenario will force NASA to work around the clock, because any challenge will deter it from its initial course. If it so happens that we arrive on Mars by 2033, we will have done what previous generations failed to do.

Catholic Communications, Sydney Archdiocese,
20 Nov 2014
Now that the Pope announced that he will be traveling to Philadelphia in 2015, the next question is what can people expect from the World Meeting of Families? The Archbishop of Philadelphia, weighed in on this.
Archdiocese of Philadelphia (USA)
"The first part, the first four days, is a congress. We're expecting 10,000 people for that. We will have major keynote addresses and we're gonna have many many workshops for people. Then the last two days the Holy Father will come and we'll have some major events. We're expecting more than 1 million people for that part of the celebration."
This Vatican inter-religious conference titled 'Humanum' which is promoting family life and the complimentary roles of a man and a woman in marriage, is giving the Church and other religious leaders a precursor on some of the themes that will be highlighted in Philadelphia.
Archdiocese of Philadelphia (USA)
"Developing workshops to help people be better mothers and fathers, husbands and wives and sons and daughters."
The best way to promote this message is more than just about talk, rather about action. Part of that comes with the Church educating its faithful on living the Gospel in every day life. Also why marriage between a man and a woman is the fabric of society.
Archdiocese of San Francisco (USA)
"A lot of people today, they understand this is true, but they are not quite sure how to articulate it. They are not quite sure how to stand for it in a way that is compassionate for those who disagree and for those who are agitating to redefine marriage."
Archdiocese of Philadelphia (USA)
"Even people who disagree on how we should define marriage know that we owe ourselves to a relationship between a man and a woman."
This three day Vatican conference brings together hundreds of people from 23 countries and 13 religions. From the laity to community leaders and religious representatives, some of whom will head out to Philadelphia in 2015 to take part in the World Meeting of Families.

Once my lover wanted to surprise me pleasantly with his musical skills, and invited me for a walk on the beach. The sky was low and heavy with thunders, but we didn't feel menaced by the approaching storm, and it wasn't yet raining. The air was warm and smelling like seaweed, the tide was not too high.
He told me: "Choose twelve shells brought by the waves to the shore, the ones you like best. Join me when you found them all." He then continued his walk, and left me behind to choose the shells.
When I found them all, I ran to him and showed him what I found.
He took them from my hands one at a time, and blew each in a different pitch. When he finished with one shell, he would threw it back in the ocean, but the echo lingered on, so at the end all the twelve different whistles produced an orchestral echo sound like a set of chimes, every note flawlessly pitched and clear.

Content Production: Keeping Content Fresh by Maximizing Your Efforts
The biggest challenge for any company in any industry is content production. It's the most time consuming, the most difficult, the most daunting. It's the reason that most social pages become stagnant once they've launched, and it's because the company has failed to setup a content repository or stream that continuously populates your editorial calendar.
The most common mistake we see within the fitness industry is not getting the most from your content. We spend so much time on content production, editing, and posting that we forget our most valuable asset – the content itself. In fact, with how quickly the industry moves, and how quickly social turns over, we forget that our content's half life is really only relevant that day. Meaning – the status updates you shared months ago are still relevant.
Here are some tips for getting the most out of your content:
- Pull old editorial calendars and apply a category to them: evergreen, seasonal, or timely. Use these to identify which content can be shared at any time, which is seasonal – or relevant to a particular time frame, and the last for which needed to be published by a specific date. All three will have the ability to be republished, but some might need more work than others.
- Take the Evergreen content and reshare it to your social platforms – giving the content at least a month's worth of time between posting it again. Rework your content approach and talk about the content you are sharing differently to freshen it up.
- Take the Seasonal Content and freshen it up and fill in your editorial calendar with timely information. The content is still applicable, and your ideas are still strong. Don't let your effort go to waste – utilize this again for holiday seasons to come.
- Take the timely content and change your view point. For example – was the content talking about a particular community event or competition that your company took part in? Well – what were the results? Can you share that information again as a way to incentivize a new contest? Touch base with your values?
Don't have an editorial calendar? (Shame on you…) – it's easy enough. You can download our free content marketing template right now. Pull Post Level Data from your Facebook insights page for up to 180 days, and the Post Level Data from your Twitter insights page for the same. This will give you the full content / post so that you can start to dig through your previous efforts to maximize your content.
If you're looking for something to help your social media strategy, we've just launched the Social Media Fit Kit – a kit designed for the fitness industry. This kit will guide you through the process of establishing, measuring, maintaining and optimizing your social media presence – all driving toward your bottom line.

Book Notes - Alex Gilvarry "From the Memoirs of a Non-Enemy Combatant"
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book.
Previous contributors include Bret Easton Ellis, Kate Christensen, Kevin Brockmeier, George Pelecanos, Dana Spiotta, Amy Bloom, David Peace, Myla Goldberg, and many others.
Alex Gilvarry's debut From the Memoirs of a Non-Enemy Combatant is a startling, dark and funny post-9/11 novel, one that brilliantly mixes current politics and our obsession with celebrity culture.
Brock Clarke wrote of the book:
"One of the best celebrations and condemnations of American fear and ambition since Bellow's Augie March was doing the celebrating and condemning."

In his own words, here is Alex Gilvarry's Book Notes music playlist for his debut novel, From the Memoirs of a Non-Enemy Combatant:
When you're spending three years of your life writing a novel, living with the same set of characters, the same plot line (in my case terror, paranoia, unlawful imprisonment, and ehem… high-end fashion), all strands of art, whatever they may be, begin to seem relevant to your story. Music is the most apparent because it can be digested daily, in small doses, even while writing. The hero of my novel, Boy, is a fashion designer who moves to New York City, and through a circuitous turn of events, he becomes a suspected financier of terror and is dubbed the "fashion terrorist." Boy is detained indefinitely in Guantanamo Bay writing out his confession while he awaits a military tribunal. Most of the songs I've chose here I would put on any mix-tape, but these are the songs I scored my writing day with, and which speak to Boy's situation, his life, his fate, his art, and mine, most appropriately. Listen to it loud.
"I Don't Know Why" – The Rolling Stones
My novel begins with our narrator, Boy, declaring his love for America, and the Stones cover of Stevie Wonder's "I Don't Know Why [I Love You]" says it all. Mick's hootin' and hollerin' on this track gets right at the heart of the matter. It's a love song between a man and a woman, but like all songs about cheating hearts, it can be applied to anything, even the love for a country.
"20th Century Man" – The Kinks
The first track on Muswell Hillbillies, a mostly overlooked album by the Kinks. This song in particular has all of the humor and political quips that I rely on the Kinks for. The 20th Century Man in Ray Davies narration, in many ways, is a disillusioned hero straight out of Dostoyevsky. If you have time, follow it up with the next song on the album, "Acute Schizophrenia Paranoia Blues," a hokey blues song that resonates heavily with post-9/11 paranoia.
"Everybody's Got Something to Hide (Except for Me and My Monkey) – The Feelies
I have a song from the White Album tattooed on my right arm. The Beatles are my religion. But it's hard for me to put the fab four on a playlist because I never want to play them out. Instead, here's the Feelies rendition of "Everybody's Got Something to Hide," and for a story about a man imprisoned, I believe the title here says it all.
"Suffer for Fashion" – Of Montreal
A lot of my novel takes place in the fashion industry. Boy, the hero, is a struggling fashion designer. So it's only fitting that I pepper this playlist with a little couture. I met Kevin Barnes once, the lead singer of Of Montreal, after a show at the Bowery Ballroom where he performed, partly, in a wedding dress. Nice guy, funny man, and I suspect a member of Mensa. His lyrics are, for lack of a better term, incredibly intellectual. He has the vocabulary of Vladimir Nabokov and swims in his own wordplay just as much. In this song alone he uses the words "Emote," "Emasculate," "Emaciate,"—even if you need a dictionary you can still dance to the whole thing.
"American Boy" Estelle featuring Kanye West
Let's keep it dancy for now. In trying to create a fashion designer with a big ego, I listened to a performer with the biggest ego around—Kanye West—and I mean that as the highest compliment. This is a love song about success. I first heard it at a dance party in Williamsburg where a lot of my novel is set. And will you look at its title? I could have named my book after it.
"Heartless" – Kanye West
My novel has a love story between Boy and a Sarah Lawrence undergraduate named Michelle Brewbaker, who writes a hit Broadway play about him. It's a modern love story set in dorm rooms in Westchester and fashion parties in Bryant Park. "Heartless" is a song that speaks to their relationship best.
"Time" – David Bowie
Time is the only thing my hero has once he's imprisoned in the world's most notorious prison. So I think it's fitting to include Bowie's rock ballad, a spooky reflection on time. Plus, no playlist of mine is complete without a Bowie tune.
"Fortunate Son" – Credence Clearwater Revival
When I need someone to belt out a song about America, I turn to John Fogerty and CCR. He's got an American howl that sounds like it's straight out of the deepest south. This is a protest song of the highest order.
"What Have They Done to the Rain?" – Malvina Reynolds
By far the saddest song I've ever heard. Malvina sings about a world without rain. For a time, Boy doesn't see any rain from his prison cell in Guantanamo. This is what he'd be listening to.
"Saved" – Devendra Banhart
Banhart is the type of man, like my hero, who isn't afraid to put on a dress once in a while, and women still want to sleep with him. "Saved" is a song that begins with a church organ, reminding me of Boy's childhood spent in Catholic school. I, too, spent many years in a prison I called Catholic school. And if we had a singer like Devendra Banhart when I was doing my time in Monsignor Farrell High, I may very well have put on a dress too.

|No contact combat
Special psychological methods of influence by energy on the opponent.
The Russian System Based On Laws and Principles of Anatomy, Physics and Mechanics
The goal of any martial artist is to overcome an attacker as quickly as possible with a minimum amount of force and time. All humans are genetically born with abilities and instincts to survive in extreme situations, but the training methods for improving these abilities are different in each Martial Art. Different styles of combat around the globe developed their own methods of self defense and pass the knowledge from one generation to another. SystemaStarova "Russian Style" Combat carries old traditions of the Cossacks and the modern training of Special Forces. One of the unique aspects of Russian System that it was created based on laws and principles of anatomy, physics and mechanics.
There are no techniques to memorize; the motion itself serves as the technique utilizing internal wave energy, making the applications efficient and realistic for combat. Life is one continuous motion; constant change and adaptation are elements of survival. Russian Style utilizes the same elements of natural flow of energy in offensive and defensive techniques applying internal and external exertion of force.
Technique of No Contact Combat draws its knowledge from historical experience of Russian Warriors and developments of science in the area of reserve human's abilities. This system is continually upgraded, discovering new psycho-physical abilities of the human mind. Throughout history, Russia was involved in many wars acquiring a great deal of combat experience.
Russian fighters were not scared of death, their mental training gave them courage and wisdom to survive and win; sacrificing their life for their country, family and friends was and still is considered a great honor.
The energy which makes the person fall without physical touch is applied to the energy field of an opponent. It works similarly to the remote control of the television, creating wave impulse which directs the motion and stability. In Asian Martial Arts, chi can be extended beyond physical body - in Russian Martial Arts the concept of chi is used in a similar way, adding modern developments of science as well.
Psychophysical training prepares SpetsNaz fighters to last a long time without food or water, travel long distance by foot, ignoring physical and mental pain and rehabilitating themselves in case of an injury. This method is an excellent tool for the improvement of personal health, in overcoming stress, in strengthening the immune system, improving breathing and central nervous systems, and in clearing mental functions. Training prepares and individual to become emotionally balanced, achieving positive results in one's personal and professional life.
To develop the sensitivity of the chi, exercises are practiced in a relaxed physical and mental state. Meditation techniques with breathing applications are used to tap into the sub consciousness, generating invincible spinning power, which catches an attacker and makes the body drop to the ground as if it was thrown or knocked down. It is considered to be the highest level of mastery in Martial Arts.
There are several steps in No Contact training. The first is to learn how to generate and use your own energy. Training prepares a student for the higher mental level, allowing the body to remember how it was initiated by using imagination and feelings. Training is done in the relaxed physical and psychological state – without the presence of thoughts, similar to being drunk.
The concept is to direct an opponent's consciousness, an effect is exerted on the right hemisphere of the brain creating images and illusions. The opponent's brain does not have the time to process the information making him chase the ghost. When a person is within this state of mind he becomes like a robot easily controlled. The task is to guide an attacker within the trajectory of the fall motion.
Start by finding something similar with an opponent: posture, breathing, same body motions with equal speed and rhythm using linear or mirror concept of copying an opponent's movement. When connection is established, you become a twin or outward reflection. The concept is to imitate the opponent's movement and then change it. For example, you can suddenly squat and lean to the side – pulling an attacker in that direction. An effect is applied to the brain creating an illusion. If an opponent is punching towards the head blend in with the speed of the motion, imagine that your hand is virtually extending toward an opponent. This will create an energy field and invisible connection between you and opponent, between your and his bio-system. The next step is to break that connection. The attacker will feel emptiness and fall or miss the strike.
The human brain is affected in many ways; it reacts to the information that surrounds us. Visual and hearing receptors carry thousands of messages into the mind everyday. The lifestyle of the individual at home and at work affects him on physical, mental and emotional levels. For example, you can make someone blush just with one word. Scaring someone will make the heartbeat faster. The ability of psychological influence on an individual or a group of people comes from individual mastery. Energy which is generated by the person is unseen, but the attacker can feel it. After the physical connection is made by copying the movements, it creates a bridge – which allows crossing over into the sub conscious giving one the ability to guide the attacker.
The main secret of SystemaStarova No Contact Combat is an ability to blend in with an opponent unnoticeably. The system of psycho-physiological control of an opponent is a complex process. Everything is important: the person who does it, an opponent, distance, body language and movement. Decisions must be made quickly. The brain needs 0.5-0.7 seconds to process the information. The energy is transferred during that time, otherwise the connection will be lost and you will need to start over from the beginning.
Another concept of No-Contact Combat is the use of verbal influence against an opponent like screaming or use of various sounds to create noise. This will shrink the consciousness and create feelings like stress, astonishment, fear and stupor. Unexpected signals affect the sensory part of the brain pressing down the fighting spirit of an attacker. The major goal is to make an opponent lose orientation and to lose control of his entire nervous system.
There is a lot that could be learned using this system, but it is more important to discover which natural abilities a person was born with, locate the source of your own energy and apply it to advance your fighting skills. SystemaStarova "Russian Style" Combat is adoptable with other martial art styles – widening the knowledge of new principles, techniques and applications, helping you to discover your own natural abilities so you can improve your fighting skills.
These include:
the aesthetic pleasure of performing beautiful movement (spirit)
1) What is No Contact Combat ?
No-Contact Combat - is part of the "Super - Abilities" of a human. Thin element between contact and no-contact combat, is a complete faith in personal ability. Just like a painter, at first he amagines his masterpiece, and then he completes his work using the distance manupilation of the opponent.
No-Contact Combat Includes:
1. Personal Style Tactics, Techniques and Stragedy of hand to hand combat.
When you can give up and allow instinctively and intuitively, you can return any energy sent your way like a conduit. This returning of energy to its source means that the attacker gets back what he gave. At higher levels, this returning of energy needs to be felt as how it can be achieved does not seem possible.
The returning-energy phenomenon does not allow an attacker to escape receiving the energy that he generates. It is like standing a few feet from a solid wall and throwing a rubber ball at it as hard as you can. The ball immediately rebounds back at you before you can avoid its path. The human body can return energy in the same way if we do not fight the energy and just let it go back. The vectors can become very complex and almost impossible for the attacker to avoid.
In order to learn the basic elements - you need a teacher, who will teach you Psycophisical, Physical and Internal Energy, which is part of the "Russian Style" Hand to Hand Combat.

Looking for a VHS training manual for C-Lab's Notator. As far as I know, I think there may have been two different video training manuals for C-Lab's Notator, one called "Emagic & Notator - Video Training Manual" and another one called "Creator & Notator - Video Training Manual"
I'm looking for either one of these videos, NTSC, PAL or whatever is not a problem, just would like to get hold of a physical copy in any format.
Many thanks!

The jury needed little time Friday to convict the Midlands men who called themselves the 3 Hebrew Boys for running a debt-relief ministry that turned out to be an $82 million Ponzi scheme.
The seven women and five men saw through the lies of Joseph Brunson, Tim McQueen and Tony Pough, one of the jurors said after the trio was convicted on 58 counts of mail fraud, money laundering and transporting stolen goods.
After two weeks of testimony, the jury reached a verdict in less than three hours.
"You don't use God if you're going to defraud people," said a juror who declined to give her name. "They never were helping people. They were just helping themselves."
The jury also ordered the 3 Hebrew Boys to repay $82 million. The men showed no emotion as the clerk read the word "guilty" 174 times. They face up to 30 years in prison when sentenced early next year.
The men called themselves the "3 Hebrew Boys" after the biblical tale of men who survived an inferno because of their faith.
Since 2004, the men had lured at least 7,000 investors from two dozen states, including many from military bases and churches, with promises to help pay off debt at a fraction of its cost. They also offered monthly lifetime residuals on investments.
They claimed to earn money from investing in foreign exchange markets using secrets known only to banks.
Their presentations banned attendance from anyone working in law enforcement, government agencies or the media. Investors had to sign a confidentiality agreement with a $1 million penalty for violating it.
Authorities said less than $100,000 was ever invested in foreign exchange markets - and that money was lost.
By the time they were arrested in 2007, the 3 Hebrew Boys would have had to pay investors more than $1 billion over the next two years and had just $17 million in bank accounts.
Winston Holliday, who helped prosecute the case for the government, said the scheme was attractive because it used an investment few understand - foreign exchange markets - and gave early investors big returns.
"It was exotic," he said. "People might have been skeptical, but that didn't matter after they saw the results. Once the money started to flow, people figured they had to join or get left behind."
The scheme also was helped by sales representatives who spread the word about the 3 Hebrew Boys' programs to worshippers at their churches and troops under their command, even in Iraq.
"They were trusted, so it must be good," Holliday said.
Even on the trial's last day, the 3 Hebrew Boys continued to argue their prosecution was unjust.
Without the knowledge of their court-appointed attorneys, they submitted a court filing Friday that accused Walt Wilkins, the U.S. attorney in South Carolina, of treason and committing an act of war against them.
The men have argued federal law does not apply to them because they are descendants of people who lived in the country before the colonists arrived.
U.S. District Judge Margaret Seymour revoked their bail and ordered them into custody after their convictions. The men handed over necklaces, rings, watches, money and wallets to family members before being escorted out of the courtroom.
At one point after the verdict was read, Brunson, pastor at a Northeast Richland church, turned to the gallery of friends and family and whispered: "Don't walk by what you see. Walk by what you know."
"I'm completely shocked because of the complete and total injustice," Brunson's wife, Isolde, said while leaving the courtroom.
Some 3 Hebrew Boys "depositors" - as they were called - did get returns on their investments that, in some cases, paid off mortgages, credit cards and cars. They received about $23 million.
But the men also spent about $25 million on a home near Walt Disney World, three Atlanta condos, three luxury stadium boxes in Charlotte and Atlanta, more than 20 cars, eight lots at a Northeast Richland subdivision, 20 acres of Orangeburg County land, a $1 million motor coach, and a $5 million personal jet.
Their court-appointed defense attorneys argued the trio planned to use all those purchases to raise money for their debt-relief programs. Their attorneys would not say Friday whether they planned an appeal.
The case came to light in 2007 when state authorities seized $17 million in cash from bank accounts tied to the 3 Hebrew Boys. The men also face state charges of securities fraud, failure to file state income tax returns and selling unregistered securities.
A federal court-appointed receiver is trying to sell the assets to repay investors. Claim forms could be available in a few weeks, the receiver said.
However, at least seven cars bought by the 3 Hebrew Boys are still missing, including two Mercedes roadsters valued at more than $330,000, authorities said.
The case was investigated by agents of the FBI, IRS, and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service. FBI special agent Ron Grosse pored over 14,000 pages of documents, Holliday said.
"We have been living this case for two years," he said. "We're glad to get complete justice."

Finished Copies
August 24th, 2012 Comments off
Finished Copies of Bad Glass arrived today, courtesy Mike, my editor at Del Rey. When I first saw the initial cover design (many months back) I had my doubts — I was afraid it was too heavy on the horror, too light on the fantasy — but, after many tweaks and lots of polish, it's really grown on me.
(And, yes, there's an annoying typo on the back cover. You'll have to hunt down a copy, but 10 points to the first person who finds it.)

In this "OutYourMind" viral video, David Kasner engages in some experimentation on a popular beach side boulevard.
David states on his YouTube channel that, "I wasn't sure what to expect but I ended up getting overwhelmed……"
The video asks the question, "What if the homeless wanted a hug?" Referred to as a "social experiment," David goes undercover and poses as a homeless man complete with cardboard, hand written sign. Instead of asking for spare change, however, David gets a little more personal and asks for a hug.
His experiment has attracted some significant attention. On Facebook his video has garnered over 7.6 million views, 130 thousand reactions, and inspired plenty of discussion in the comment section.
After watching the video, you will understand how reactions to have ranged from overjoyed and grateful to cautious.
Andrew Warring states, "A little love and a caring heart for others goes a long way.. Remember we never know what a person in going through."
Robert Florez respectfully replied, "I get it, but I wouldn't want my daughter to hug a homeless stranger. But I will help you if needed or give you a little cash."
No matter where you stand on this experiment, it certainly has people talking.

Trying to think of a band that came from Puerto Rico and the only one I can recall without racking my brain too much is Puya. The only reason why I even recall them is because a record label rep that came into the record store I worked in at the time was really pushing them and one of the selling points that they were from Puerto Rico. Being in a Midwest tumbledown town stuff like that didn't matter...but the fact that they were on tour with on tour with Slip-FUCKING-knot though!
Damn! Dude!
The only thing that still rivals ICP t-shirts in this town almost a decade later from their height are Slipknot t-shirts!
That angle didn't seem to work out they way their label though either I guess. The last time I heard their name was when me and wife were at a flea market a year or so ago and she called out to me "Ever heard of this band? There's 20 promo copies of their CD in a box over here."
With that impression though Puerto Rico's Davila 666 as far as you can get from such drop tuned "everybody have a bad time and punch whoever you can" grunt. Half the of this six piece band (which include 3 guitar players and someone who's job is to shake a tambourine & maracas and to provide some back up vocals) look like wrestlers with the fashion influence of 50's bikers and the other half resembling scrawny kids that could be making noise in any garage/basement/youth hall anywhere in the world. This SOUNDS like it's all about having a good time but, just like most other average Americans, I can only guess if that's what the songs are about because I never bothered to learn much Spanish. The words I do know though and I can pick out of the lyrics it doesn't sound like they are inviting everyone to come and get bummed out with them. More like they're inviting you to come along to their party. Loud rock-n-roll guitars dominate the proceeding along with lots of scream/shout/praise/rejoice sing a-long gang chorus sounding at times the Black Lips if they dropped the jangle for a bit and went for getting James Williamson's guitar sound from "Raw Power." To switch up such straight to the hips knuckleballs every now and again they throw a curve by totally showing their love for Jesus & the Mary Chain. I mean spot on with the wide open blare, creaky whispering vocals and heavily reverberated tambourine.

Johnny Depp took his fiancee Amber Heard to a low-key destination for her birthday celebration - they visited a book shop.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star has been dating Heard since they met on the set of The Rum Diary in 2011 and they recently became engaged.
Heard turned 28 on Tuesday (22Apr14) and they kept the celebration minimal with a trip to Bauman Rare Books in New York City, where the actress is currently filming new movie When I Live My Life Over Again.
Depp treated his bride-to-be to a bouquet of red roses, chocolates and a birthday cake, which were pictured being delivered to the couple's hotel. He also took his fiancee to dinner at Italian restaurant Il Buco on Monday (21Apr14).

10 Dark Photos of The Lights Turned Out
Every year, humanity turns off the lights for Earth Hour. Well, some of humanity. As we learned during this week's Shooting Challenge, a lot of people leave the lights on.
Every year, humanity turns off the lights for Earth Hour. Well, some of humanity. As we learned during this week's Shooting Challenge, a lot of people leave the lights on.
It's Earth Hour this weekend. And no matter how you feel about its message, I think we can all agree that seeing cities blanketed in darkness is chilling. So for this week's Shooting Challenge, photograph the darkness of Earth Hour.
As cities shut down their lights for Earth Hour at 8:30 to 9:30 pm local time tonight, you will have a brief respite from light pollution. Join the hour. Flip off your lights, head outside, and look up. Even if not everyone goes dark, you'll see something.
It's supposed to be an hour when everyone conserves energy by turning off the lights and other superfluous power drains. But apparently Paramount is still not up-to-speed on what Earth Hour is all about since over the weekend it celebrated the event by sending 30 quadrotor drones into the air, forming the Starfleet…
In what has become an annual event, Earth Hour 2011 is upon us. From 8:30 PM (local time) to 9:30 PM, Earth Hour encourages us to turn off the lights. We'll see you back at 9:30 (or tomorrow!). [Earth Hour]
Earth Hour 2010 commences tonight, charging citizens and corporations alike to turn off their lights for an hour to raise climate change awareness. The real benefit, though, is that it lets you watch the cooler version of this light-sensing video.
Darth Vader is doing a little image-control by sponsoring WWF's Earth Hour. He even taped a little video confession about how he's not really a bad guy. So turn to the "dark side" and turn off the lights. Get it?
As the world turned off its lights for one hour last Saturday in a fleeting concern for Earth, even the blindingly luminescent Las Vegas strip joined in. Here it is with the lights off:
My dear friend—and tree-huggin' hippie—Robyn reminds me that tonight is Earth Hour. It may seem silly, but turning off all your electrical devices is a nice gesture. If only to do many other things, like:
Those tofu-loving nutjobs over at the WWF (no, not that one) are planning another Earth Hour on Saturday night, where the world shuts off all their lights and electronics from 8-9 pm. We're supposed to think about ways to live more sustainably and fight global warming. Sounds great, right? WRONG.

Adhesive bonding has become a typical technique inside the automotive trade since vehicles constructed from aluminium have change into extra fashionable. This has been within the quest to scale back the weight of vehicles for the advantage of making them extra fuel efficient. Aluminium is far more troublesome to weld than steel, especially when using spot welding methods, so new processes equivalent to adhesive bonding have needed to be developed to beat production problems. This event might have an incredible impact on the advertising and marketing methods of car corporations. Companies have gotten more and more artistic in promoting and advertising particular fashions. We have now seen prior to now model identify automobiles in Hollywood motion pictures, however now video games is a brand new stage. It astonishes me how folks in advertising and marketing give you these concepts after there have already been so many various marketing methods.

Game Of Thrones star Kit Harington insists his recent comments about Brits lacking patriotism were "naive" and "cynical".
The actor, who plays Jon Snow in the hit TV series, sparked controversy last month (Dec14) by telling Britain's Radio Times magazine, "We (Brits) don't have that patriotism now, I think thankfully. I don't really believe in patriotism. I think it breeds small-mindedness... I'm not anti-monarchy... but I don't really believe in flying the flag."
Harington has now admitted the comments were misguided and has clarified his opinion of fellow Brits.
He tells Britain's The Guardian newspaper, "I've said a few naive things in interviews about how we're not as patriotic as we were, but that's from my very cynical, north London side, you know? I grew up in a part of the country (Worcestershire, England) where people are very patriotic about joining the forces and fighting for country. So I don't think we've entirely changed.
"A lot of my peers went into the army and did tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. I've seen a lot of them come back with a change ... requesting to go back and back and back."

Foundation Hopes to Bring Breakthrough Epidural Stimulator to Millions
NEW YORK, NY – 11/17/2017 — After 25 years of research and over 139 million dollars donated towards the study of treating those living with spinal cord injuries, The Dana & Christopher Reeve Foundation have discovered a light at the end of the tunnel in a scientific breakthrough, the epidural stimulator and resulting steps to bring it to the over 5 million people with spinal cord injuries.
In an exclusive interview with The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, Bold Business released a video and accompanying story featuring Reeve Foundation CEO, Peter Wilderotter and Vice Chairman, Henry Stifel.Wilderotter and Stifel provide new details on the Foundation's work and progress towards its goal of "no more wheelchairs."

Henry Stifel, Vice Chairman of the Board explained, "The Reeve Foundation funded research at many fine Universities over the years. The work done at Cal Tech, UCLA and University of Louisville led to the creation of tests and research on epidural stimulation." The entire discussion with the key leaders and innovators has been published with the featured video on BoldBusiness.com.
The epidural stimulator, created with NeuroRecovery Technologies (NRT), treats those living with spinal cord injuries to aid in the movement of the affected areas.
