Michinori Tanaka Tests Positive for Stimulants Following Loss at UFC Fight Night 52, Catches Nine-Month Suspension
(As if that hair didn't bring enough shame onto his family. / Photo via Taro Irei, Sherdog)
"Michinori Tanaka" is a name that should bring confused looks to all but the most hardcore of MMA fans. A two-fight veteran of UFC Fight Pass, the 24-year-old Japanese prospect suffered the first defeat of his career back in September, when he lost a split-decision to Kyung Ho Kang on the Hunt vs. Nelson prelims. Unfortunately, Tanaka was jacked up on stimulants (or maybe allergy medicine?) during that fight and now he's been suspended. From an official statement on UFC.com:
At UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Nelson on September 20 in Saitama, Japan, UFC contracted with an independent drug testing laboratory to perform testing on all fighters on the card.
UFC bantamweight Michinori Tanaka tested positive for ephedrine and pseudoephedrine based on a pre-fight urine test administered prior to the event. Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are stimulants banned in athletic competition pursuant to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code. Based on such results, UFC officials decided that Tanaka had violated his promotional agreement and the UFC Fighter Conduct Policy. Accepting the accuracy of the test result, Tanaka has admitted to taking over-the-counter allergy medication prior to the fight, likely causing the positive result, and acknowledges the illegal substances were in his system. Consequently, Tanaka agreed to a nine-month suspension from unarmed combat competition. He must pass a drug test at the conclusion of his suspension in order to return to competition. Tanaka will also forfeit his Fight of the Night bonus he earned at the event. [Ed. note: Zyrtec just cost this dude $50,000. Ouch.]Read More DIGG THIS

You spend 18 years raising your children to be the best they can be. Molding their beliefs, values and self-worth. Giving them the tools to be successful in life. Throughout those 18 years you go through many stages terrible twos, puberty and teen age. All have their ups and downs, but you push through because as a parent that is your job. You are there to parent them not be there best friend. In those 18 years you will hear it all, one minute they will love you and then next they hate you. But at the end of the day you are the mother and one day they will thank you for pushing them to be a better person. That is what you keep telling yourself, but I am still waiting for that day to come. My truth is you spend 18 years raising that child and they turn 18 only to think they can suddenly take on the world by themselves.
In April 2016 you broke my heart when you ran across the country to be with someone you barely knew. There was still so much unfinished business you left behind, but you did what you felt you had to do. You were strong willed, independent and responsible. You had big dreams and the will to make it all happen. I say all this in past tense because I don't recognize that child anymore. When the going got tough you knew you had to come home and I admired that choice. I was there to help you and get you back on your feet. In August you got a job, enrolled in college and began playing volleyball. I started to see my daughter again. At this point it had been 5 months since you turned 18 and you were someone I barely recognized. So many relationships have been shattered by the decisions you made. September we gave you your car back thinking you were back on track, but I couldn't have been more wrong. There was this sense of entitlement and lack of respect. I had no idea you could be so hurtful to someone who has done nothing but help you. October rolled around and I started to lose you again. You quite school, volleyball and became distant again. What you don't seem to understand is you have always had a choice, live by my rules under my roof or go be free. I would never kick you out of your home, you always chose to run. October 28th I lost you again. With no money, no phone, no job, no place to live you chose to drive cross country to make a new life. You told people I kicked you out, why did you have to paint me the bad guy? Did that make you feel better about the decisions you were making because deep down you knew they were wrong.
November, I sent you an "olive branch" and you swallowed your pride and reached out. Things were fine, I still didn't support your choices or like what you were doing, but I was just grateful we were talking. But if there is one thing I have learned in the past 7 months is this doesn't last. I am your mother I will always love you and I will always be there for you, but I wouldn't be a good mother if I enabled you. This is what I think you don't understand. 1 out of 2 conversations with you end with you telling me "I never help you and to stay out of your life". I have learned that if I don't tell you what you want to hear you get angry and end the conversation. We have played this game for so long I am honestly exhausted emotionally. You can't tell me to stay out of your life and then publically say I don't care about how you're doing. You can't publically say you miss people when you do nothing to maintain that relationship. I am sorry I cannot support you leaving everything and everyone you know to be in the country's most dangerous city with someone I do not know who you say has beat you. The daughter I raised would not make these irresponsible and unhealthy decisions. I have tried to help you, tried to talk some sense into you, but you are blinded by what you think is love. You have told so many lies I don't think you even know the truth anymore. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you, I miss you every day. I will always love you and always be there for you. I will never stop worrying about your wellbeing and want the best for you.
I just don't recognize my little girl anymore. I can only hope that one day she will own her faults and know it's not too late to make things right. Until then I have to keep her at an arm's length. When she is ready to make her life better and truly make a change I will be there with open arms.
This is my raw truth.

Guest Post: The Power of a Dog or Cat to Change Your Mood
The following is a guest post by Russell of Miami Dog Training. Miami Dog training is owned and operated by a professional dog trainer. Dog training Miami has over 25 years of experience in providing certified professional dog training and dog walking Miami services. See our credentials and veterinarian recommendations at http://www.funpawcare.com
It was a gloomy rainy day out and I wasn't looking forward to venturing out into the rain and wind. That is until I saw my first client for the day and their gorgeous Portuguese Water Dog smothered me with kisses and was the happiest dog in the world just to be alive. Dogs have a magical way about them to always put a smile on ones face and to remind people of how to be present, aware and to live in the now (carpe diem). To watch a dog, cat, bird, or fish….etc just be itself is a wonderful gift.
How can you possibly have a worry in the world when your best friend is by your side, loyal, happy, smiling and giving you all of their attention? It's simply not possible. Not only do dogs make you happy, get you in shape, get you out of the house, and in touch with nature, but they also put a smile on your face and most faces that they come into contact with.
Pets transcend social classes, positions, hierarchies, egos, and all of the silliness that humans get caught up in on a daily basis. To watch, feel and hear a cat purr on your chest, a dog sitting at your feet keeping them warm (as I write this post), cuddled up next to you on the couch, or a bird chirping or singing a song is heartwarming, soulful event that brings out the "humane" human in all of us.
Canine good citizen dogs (CGC), therapy dogs and service dogs are often used to brighten the days and lives of all they come into contact with. From dogs that treat humans with post-traumatic stress disorder to dogs that can detect insulin or cancer, they have all adapted to the many walks of human life. Dogs are here to make humans healthy, happier and more fulfilled.
They are amazing companions and offer a tremendous amount of benefits to even the most incredulous person. Whatever pet it is that you are fond of, show them some love and appreciation. Just taking your pup for a long Miami dog walk, stimulating their mind and body is fulfillment and love to a dog. Of course belly rubs and a scratch behind the ear is most always appreciated as well. Petting your cat, admiring your fish, listening to your birds are all forms of therapy and a blessing that have the power to change your mood instantaneously. Go ahead and try it!

It should be remembered that he came out of the old Hollywood that was rough and tough and where the wildest bluffs hold.
--F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Last Tycoon
In Wim Wenders 1982 homage to filmmaking, The State of Things, a director leaves his crew on location in Portugal, where they are shooting a remake of Roger Cormans The Day the World Ended -- presciently titled The Survivors -- to return to sun-blasted L.A. to beg for completion funds. Unable to track down his producer, he aimlessly circles the parking lot of the Cinerama Dome on Sunset Boulevard, half-heartedly tailed by loan sharks, in an endless, static aerial shot that elegantly summarizes the futility of filmmaking in Los Angeles.
Hes in a lot of trouble, says Corman himself, playing the producers lawyer. Use your imagination.
Those words, still hanging heavy in the air 20 years later, might serve as a cautionary inscription for the Los Angeles Film School, situated directly across Sunset from the Cinerama Dome, just out of frame. Housed in the old RCA studios at 6363 Sunset, where both Elvis post-Sun catalog and the Rolling Stones Satisfaction were recorded, this apolitical, non-aligned, floating graduate conservatory was conceived a mere 15 months ago in a moment of idealistic largess and visionary chutzpah by one-time Universal Studios head Thom Mount and Vancouver venture capitalist Bud MaLette, sometimes referred to as the Warren Buffet of Canada. In April 1999, they embarked on major construction, even though the lease wasnt signed until May. In September, the first students began attending classes. And this July, the first graduating class of 16 will emerge from the 10-month total-immersion program (with subsequent graduating classes to follow at two-month intervals), much of their time in the classroom having been spent in hardhats.
Part academic institution and part professional training school, part art institute and part technical college, the Los Angeles Film School was conceptualized to fill a gap in the marketplace. On the one hand are the USC and UCLA film programs or the AFI MFA track, all of which serve to some degree as pipelines into the industry. On the other hand is the sudden proliferation of quick-time boiler rooms such as the New York Film Academy, which promises to teach the art of filmmaking for a mere six- or eight-week investment. With applicants at USC or UCLA being turned away at a rate of 10 to 1, and with the unprecedented historical confluence of digital technology, streaming video, indie fever and Internet plutocracy, the time may be right for the Los Angeles Film Schools foreshortened, intensive, specialized film curriculum for producers, directors and below-the-line trades such as editor, cinematographer, production designer and sound engineer. The price tag is $20,500 (many top-tier four-year programs are $75,000 or more), and students are handed a camera literally the first day of classes. (A two-year screenwriting program and an ambitious second-year production curriculum, whereby three low-budget feature films will be under way at any given time, are both in the active planning stages.)
How many moments do we have that are revolutions in capturing technology and in distribution at the same time? Mount asks rhetorically. It doesnt happen.
And in fact, once past the vaguely cheesy green neon sign that announces the schools sudden presence to its Hollywood surroundings, and discounting the sawdust on the floor and the cables hanging from the rafters, reminiscent of a latter-day vaudeville or live television, it is impossible to argue with the level of commitment manifested in the investment in equipment, or the caliber of the faculty. Focusing on digital video, Digi Beta and Hi-Def, the school has 19 XL-1 Mini-DV cameras with upgraded manual-lens systems and XLR sound inputs, plus a number of state-of-the-art 1080 Progressive digital cameras with variable 24- and 30-frame-per-second shooting speeds (the kind George Lucas has announced he will shoot the next Star Wars with). There are 21 Avid editing systems on premises -- 12 top-line Media Composers and nine newer Express DVs -- and one of the only working broadcast-ready Hi-Def sets in L.A. outside of the Sony labs and the Jay Leno stage. The school also has two 35mm cameras --an Arriflex BL4 and a borrowed Panavision -- and two ARRI SRII 16mm cameras, which all students are required to use. Principals say the initial outlay of capital has been somewhere north of 5 and pushing 10 -- between $5 million and $10 million, that is. The SSL digital mixing board alone cost $1 million.
Similarly, cinematography classes are taught by William Fraker (Rosemarys Baby), Ralf Bode (Coal Miners Daughter) and Janusz Kaminski (Saving Private Ryan); the directing faculty includes Jon Amiel (The Singing Detective, Entrapment) and Donald Petrie (Mystic Pizza); editing classes might be helmed by Dede Allen (Bonnie and Clyde), and Ron Judkins, Spielbergs sound mixer, might bring by the wild tracks from Saving Private Ryan for students to remix. Joe Byron, the schools technology director, holds eight patents in motion-picture lighting and optical systems from his work with Colortran lighting-manufacturing company and Birns & Sawyer equipment rentals. The revolving faculty of professionals is a concept that would only work in Hollywood. In exchange for this kind of access, the school neither has nor apparently seeks accreditation, with Mount labeling the application process an onerous burden.
They want, for instance, a faculty thats stable. They want a tenured faculty, says Mount. What are they talking about? The worst enemy of American education is the tenured faculty! Anybody whos ever been to a college knows that. This is insane . . . If we are valuable in any way in the educational community, its as a laboratory for finding out what the possibilities for the future of education are -- not just for this school, but for every school.
He prefers the examples of the Bauhaus or the Lodz Film School (championed by alumnus Roman Polanski, for whom Mount produced Pirates, Frantic and Death and the Maiden), where all students must first master a set of fundamentals, or perhaps the apprentice system of classical Hollywood.
The schools principals all share eclectic backgrounds and an abiding interest in higher education. Bud MaLette, the deep pockets, in addition to backing the successful Vancouver Film School, was a schoolteacher before he began dabbling in the market, eventually financing over 100 separate companies. President Carolyn Pfeiffer, in addition to producing 15 films (seven of them by Alan Rudolph) and running Island Alive films for Chris Blackwell, has worked for Fellini, Visconti and Zeffirelli in Italy, served as the Beatles Apple Corps publicist in Swinging London, and most recently owned a lucrative chain of yogurt franchises in Jamaica. Tom Schatz, the token academic, is chairman of the radio-TV-film department at the University of Texas at Austin, as well as author of the esteemed studio exegesis The Genius of the System.
But the wild card clearly remains Mount -- partners with MaLette in several online ventures; best friends with Pfeiffers late husband, writer Jon Bradshaw; co-author with Schatz of an upcoming book on Universal and the New Hollywood. As one of the mandarins who governed the studios of the 1970s (he was at Universal from 1974 to 1984), Mount is among a finite breed who remember how the old studio system did things. And as someone who has survived more than 20 years in the public glare of studio politics, he has also accrued his share of controversy. An early New West magazine article labeled him one of the baby moguls, alongside producers Paula Weinstein, Sean Daniel, Mark Rosenberg and Don Simpson, the latter two now deceased. Despite his protestations at the time, it was later revealed that he had dated the writer. After a fiscal flameout in the early 90s, when a Japanese consortium headed by the NHK broadcasting company pulled out of a $150 million silver-bullet financial rescue of his company, Mount was forced to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
He has variously been described as profligate, a very smart man, just not a businessman and a crooked Southern senator -- generally with a knowing wink. One ex-colleague, insisting on anonymity, suggests affably, Mount is a decent guy who is constitutionally incapable of telling the truth. Yet those in business with him often recall him with fondness, if not outright affection. John Valenti, son of Motion Picture Association of America president Jack Valenti and a partner in the film-business Web site Creative Planet, was Mounts assistant for four years and states unequivocally, I think he is without question one of the most interesting people in the movie business. He has a rocket-fueled IQ, hes extremely literate, and he can talk about literally anything.
E. Max Frye, the screenwriter of Something Wild and the recent Where the Money Is, says, I dealt with him on two scripts over the course of three years. We had a contractual deal where he had to pull the trigger on the money, and he did it, even though the movies never got made. I think that, as we all do in the movie business, he likes to heighten the drama of the story he has to tell. He may take creative license, and he may put things in the first person, because thats just more exciting. But he never, to my knowledge, said anything that he didnt intend to do. Thats a fundamental distinction.
Typical is the description of Mount in Killer Instinct, producer Jane Hamshers heat-of-battle recitation of the making of Natural Born Killers, on which Mount served as executive producer. He is first introduced as follows: Mount was famous for once running Universal Studios, producing Bull Durham and Tequila Sunrise, soaking some Japanese conglomerate for a lot of dough, being Roman Polanskis best friend and dating fabulously beautiful women. Several people had told us Mount was also habitually full of shit . . . Yet, by books end, he has become a kind of self-aappointed godfather and father confessor to the fledgling producer.
More recently, Mount has reinvented himself as president of the Producers Guild, a largely symbolic institution that has been resurrected under his proactive stewardship. Nor is he an arriviste when it comes to higher education: He taught at Duke University during the filming of Bull Durham and at Columbia during Night Falls on Manhattan, and is active in the fate of Bard College and CalArts, both of which he holds degrees from. And he clearly remains a world-class salesman, as evidenced by the scope of this latest venture. Top-ranking members of his faculty admit to having been helplessly dazzled by his sales pitch even as they mentally registered exactly how they were being sold, rendering their decision to come aboard an act of faith.
The hook in all of this, if you will, is that in conjunction with the film school, Mount and company are launching HollywoodBroadcasting.com (HBC), a loosely structured broadband studio or internetwork that shares office space on several floors and plans to stream 25 hours of live weekly content by Christmas. They have seven series in active development now, all of them featuring some take on reality-based programming, and just last week saw the soft launch of Schatzs interview series, Final Cut, on which they were still working out the bugs.
From the very beginning, says Schatz, it was conceived as this synergistic thing between the film school and HBC, two separate entities that have this crucial interdependence. The idea was to get the film school up and running, and then get HBC up and running.

And, at least in the abstract, they provide perfect defenses for one another. The studio solves the film schools problem of placement: Where exactly will these graduates go to get jobs -- especially without the cachet of USC or UCLA? Now they can provide the manpower to bootstrap a global entertainment consortium. (Already, editing students are being paid to work one day a week at HBC.) And the school solves the problem faced by every Internet startup: What is the profit model? Even if finances are kept immaculately separate, 100 students times $20,000 will go a long way on paper toward reassuring fidgety investors or fiscal overseers of a revenue stream. The studio can subsidize the schools shared equipment and facilities. And the students themselves can provide the enthusiasm and raw ideas that are the intellectual equity of any creative enterprise. Even if the school is currently running at half-capacity, or the technological challenges are proving more resilient than anticipated, even if some of the four-star faculty cant actually teach, and financial-assistance instruments and visa snarls are so far precluding the lucrative foreign market, the sheer proximity of these institutions makes for the sort of accidental synchronicities one would imagine the film business to be rife with, but which fear and greed have all but consigned to the history books.
Or at least thats the idea.
In his career as an independent producer, Mount made Bull Durham and Tequila Sunrise, and gave Sean Penn his directing start with The Indian Runner. As the head of Universal, he greenlighted Scarface and Melvin and Howard and Missing and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, all of them valuable and intelligent movies. Maybe thats how anyone should ultimately be judged -- by his work. It may be a truism that Those who cant do, teach, but that doesnt necessarily make it true.
Filmmaking, finally, says Mount, is about a handful of people coming up with inspiration and passion around a single narrative idea and then, in an opportunistic fashion, combining a group of other similarly inspired maniacs and executing something in a way that is fresh and fertile and full of all of the possibilities of the moment. The minute you take that sense of gesture away from filmmaking and institutionalize it, at the very best you have studio product, and at the worst you have a giant number of film schools grinding out student films that are all equally unwatchable. Most film schools in America dont teach film, they teach film appreciation. Which is a perfectly viable thing to do, but its sort of like learning table manners. Its useful in polite society, but its not a requirement in life.

Known fact: in the horror genre, little kids of unknown origin are downright terrifying. Having to rely on them to prevent your own zombiefication only exacerbates the situation. But such is the basic premise of Amy, an inventive new entry in the survival horror genre from developer Lexis Numerique.
The game takes place about 20 years in the future, when a series of natural disasters has wreaked havoc on humanity and unleashed a deadly virus that has infected almost everyone, causing them to mutate into vicious zombies. You play as Lana, a young woman who is slowly being affected by the virus, and who has taken it upon herself to protect Amy, a creepy, little girl with mysterious powers who somehow holds the key to your own salvation.
The game is more of a psychological thriller than a straight hack-and-slash, though it does give the player the option of whether to fight or go for a more stealth-heavy play through. While avoiding combat is easier, only by engaging enemies can you earn collectibles-- meaning putting yourself out on a limb is not only encouraged in this game, but rewarded.
While Amy clearly takes some cues from Silent Hill and Resident Evil, it also brings some interesting new dynamics to the table. The relationship between you and Amy, for example, is quite intriguing, and one of the most fascinating elements of the game. As you fight against your own body, which is slowly transforming, only being near Amy (or using medicine kits) can return you to your normal self. As zombies don't attack you when you're transforming, this adds the dynamic of trying to balance between when to heal and when not to-- all while keeping in mind that if you wait too long, you won't be able to return to normal (in other words, game over).
Trying to protect Amy (who you can tell to hide or take along with you, though she does slow you down considerably) also adds to the tension, as does deciding how best to use her. While Amy won't follow you if there are too many corpses around (they frighten her), she'll otherwise do what you tell her to, allowing you to use her flashlight to light the way, hold her hand and, by listening to her heartbeat, detect when danger is close, or even use her as bait.
From what I've seen of the game so far, which is set to release on the PlayStation network in June for $12, my interest is definitely piqued. From the game's unique relationship dynamic to the cool, trippy way it signifies the spreading infection by having your perception and the colors around you (as well as your body) change right before your eyes-- there are a lot of really cool ideas at play here, and I'm eager to see how they all play out in the end.

|3 1/2 pound tiger trout caught saturday.
If you have never hooked a tiger trout, you are missing out! I have never caught a tiger trout that hasn't given me a really good fight! Through the ice, on a fly, or caught on a nightcrawler, these fish will give you one great fishing experience!
|The fight is on!
On Saturday I was lucky to hook a big tiger in very shallow water. This fish was amazing! The second I set the hook he took off and I realized quickly that I needed to adjust my drag to avoid him breaking my line. The reel was singing for sure, and as I fought this fish it reminded me of watching bass fishing on TV! This guy was jumping, rolling, and pulling line like crazy! As he wore down I attempted to land him in the best spot that I could in a weedy area. I could not reach far enough to get a thumb in his mouth, and for fault on my part, I left the net home! So, what could I do? I had to grab the line to pull him onto shore. I pulled him from the water, a beauty for sure! No doubt over 25" long, and weighing 5-6 pounds! Then fate took over! The line snapped, the fish hit the ground, and before I could scoop him up he flopped back into the lake. So, fishing tip #1 for the day: be sure to check you line before you go fishing! This was the first fish I hooked that morning and that line snapped so easy! Upon further inspection I found that I could break my line by hand fairly easy. I'm not sure how he stayed on as long as he did. So, I pulled off about 30 feet and got back down to good, strong line. Now problems the rest of the day, even with the 3 1/2 pounder I caught later on.
|Panguitch Lake tiger caught through the ice
Tip #2: don't be afraid to switch up your technique! Everyone may be telling you what is working on a lake, but fish are funny, and when I get there it usually doesn't work. That doesn't mean I don't stop using that bait or lure, I just find another way to fish it. With spinners, speed can be the difference between skunked and a good catch. Change up your reeling speed, and directions until you find what works. Presentation can be the difference between success and skunked. With bait, try different approaches, is it better to still fish it, reel now and then, troll it along (steady reeling), or fish the top, or the bottom. Saturday I was using the same concept (bait/lures) as those fishing around me, but I was the only one having success. Why? Because I found the technique the fish liked. Also, remember your species! Brown, brook, and tiger trout tend to feed a little more off of the bottom, but at the right time and under great conditions, they love to jump on the right fly.
The bad part is that most of the day can be spent trying to find what works. What worked for me was seeing that nobody around me was catching a thing, so I wasn't going to fish the same way for the same results. Don't be afraid to try something new, just because you always catch fish doing what you have done for years. I hope these tips were helpful, and do yourself a favor; get out and catch this amazing fish species, the tiger trout!

I believe that the most important thing to teen is their love for and with their mother. You have some sort of bond with your mother that you don't have with anyone else. She brought you into this world and for nine months you were one, the same with her and her mother, and so on. She carried you, protected you, and fed you, so never do anything to mess that love up. I will never hurt or mistreat her, but protect her, and be there for her as she did for me.
I almost lost my mothers love and her respect. I pushed her away, disrespected her, and mistreated her. I thought that I was the man of the house because my mom and step dad are getting a divorce and he moved out of the house. He always treated her wrong and I thought that since she was a woman that she couldn't stand up to a man. I thought that I was the only one who could stand up for her and protect her. I would rather get hurt than see my mother get hurt. I cared so much about her that I didn't know what I would do If I lost her, and many times I thought that he was going to kill her. I was really just making things worse on the both of us. When she came to lean on me, I pushed her away and I wasn't there for her when she needed me the most. So she quit trying to keep that bond that we had, the bond that was so good, she just wanted me to leave her alone and I thought that I had lost her love for me. I realized that I could treat her this way but it just isn't right, and I realized it too late, I had already lost a lot of precious time with her.
I love my mother with everything and when I lost that little bit of love, I lost myself. I believe that the most important thing to you is your mother and if you don't think so then ask her what the most important thing to her is and I bet she will say that you are. I will never disrespect my mother no matter how mad she makes me or how big or old I think I am , it just isn't right for me to do that to her after all she has done for me. I am never going to push her away again because she would never push me away. I believe that I could never truly loose all the love of my mother but I sure could loose a lot of it.

A beautiful country, Belgium is filled with many a fantastic photo opportunity. But in case it's your first visit, or you're looking for a little inspiration for some truly magnificent views both from the ground and the sky, we've selected a few of our personal favourites which may help you see a little bit more during your short break in Belgium.
Belfry Tower, Bruges
One of the most prominent buildings in the city, the belfry of Bruges is a magnificent medieval bell tower right in the heart of the town. Standing 83m tall, to look up at this architectural splendour from the ground is a grand sight, however if you're feeling energetic and choose to climb the very respectable 366 steps up to the bell tower at the top, one of our favourite panoramic views awaits, over the market square below and the surrounding area of Bruges.
Meuse Valley
Located in southern Belgium, this luscious countryside balanced on the edge of the glorious River Meuse is certainly a sight to behold. Limestone cliffs are a backdrop to charming little towns and dense forest, as well as some breath-taking architecture. Capture the best pictures from the river, or on the numerous hiking and cycling trails available to explore.
Grand Place, Antwerp
With cobble-stoned streets leading to ornate 17th century architecture and a bustling Grote Markt (Main Square) filled with flower stalls and bird markets, there's not just one great view here but far too many to count. From the Brabo Fountain to the Guild Houses and magnificent city hall, many a photo opportunity awaits for visitors to the Grand Place in Antwerp.
St. Peter's Church, Leuven
In the centre of Leuven, shining a glorious gold hue is St Peter's Church (or Sint-Pieterskerk). A very well preserved example of 14th century Brabantine Gothic architecture, this church is just as impressive inside as out. With a museum dedicated to religious art, with metalwork, paintings and sculptures as well as a stunning baroque carved pulpit, you'll be truly absorbed into a past world.
Panoramic views from the Musical Instruments Museum (MIM), Brussels
Located in central Brussels along Rue Montagne de la Cour, an intriguing museum and stunning terrace awaits. The building itself is rather spectacular, being art nouveau in style and boasting a fabulous glass elevator. However, the sunlit rooftop café is what we really love, as this is where you can sit and enjoy a Sunday brunch whilst ogling over the 360° panoramic views of Brussels. If you're inside, you'll find that the decorative building design will frame your photographs, and when outside on the terrace, you're met with a breath-taking cityscape. This is certainly a perfect afternoon spent during your short break in Brussels.
Automium, Brussels
With an interesting and rather unique infrastructure, the Automium comprises nine spheres which are linked by escalators. Constructed for the 1958 Brussels World Fair, its purpose was to symbolise peace among all the nations, as well as being a vision for a more modern, technological world. A vision in itself, a 360° panoramic view of the 19 municipalities of Brussels also awaits at the top sphere, 102m up.
For those in search of views not of architecture but nature and wildlife, simply head south for the rugged hills of the Ardennes. With cave systems, river valleys, wooden canyons and limestone hills, as well as lynx, deer and wild boar to be discovered, we couldn't possibly name even ten great views here, as there are just so many. A town called Dinant, in the province of Namur is a good place to start your adventure in Ardennes, located around 100km south east of Brussels.
If we've inspired you to take a short break in Belgium and see some of these wonderful sights for yourself, you can visit Great Escapes to book.

Great shot of the beautiful woman's hair flowing off the table. Always tough to do a mirror shot and the photographer pulled it off well.
While the model is beautiful enough to be included on this site, I actually feel sorry for her. Her natural beauty was not appropriately displayed in this shot due to the skill of the photographer. It is poorly lit with very harsh shadows implying an amateurish lighting job and she has little effective makeup on. The vertical line behind her is not vertical. Too bad, this could have been a much better image.

So, after my thrilling visit to Ragnar was the Nueces 50k. This was to be my first 50k, and it was on 01 March – the day after I was slated to fly back to San Antonio from Ragnar HQ. I was in a state of serious doubt about my ability to do well at this race because I had been incredibly sick during my visit to Ragnar, but decided to go out and run it anyways. I was scheduled to arrive at the San Antonio Airport from Salt Lake City at about 5 PM on Friday, where my husband would pick me up and we would immediately make the two hour drive to Camp Eagle. Unfortunately, every single flight I was slated to be on that day got delayed. My original flight to Las Vegas was delayed about three times, until I was told I would miss my connecting flight and was rescheduled for Phoenix instead. My flight to Phoenix was delayed. After finally arriving in Phoenix, my flight to San Antonio was delayed about three times. I did not return to San Antonio until about 1 AM.
We elected to stay in San Antonio and get up and make the two hour drive to Camp Eagle, not wanting to arrive at Camp Eagle at 3:30 AM and wake everyone in the shared dorm we were slated to stay in. My friend Meghann was
crazy awesome enough to show up at my house at 4 AM for the drive to Camp Eagle. I got about an hour and a half of sleep. I was still quite sick – coughing, congestion, short of breath, the whole shebang – and though I had packed everything beforehand I still felt incredibly unprepared when we arrived to Camp Eagle. The long and short of this is that the careful pre-race experience I had crafted in my head was a complete disaster. I hurriedly filled the bottles on my vest with Tailwind and water, tried to allocate things like extra socks (didn't happen) and my buff (also didn't happen), while also having to hit the bathroom and pick up my packet. In the parking lot, I could hear Joe (the race director) counting down to race start…10, 9, 8… I kissed my husband, waved by to Meghann who was urging me to GO, and ran to the start line.
All the frantic scrambling around made me forget that I was insanely tired and sick and did I mention tired? Loop one is a go, all adrenaline, who needs sleep? Honestly, describing the first 25k loop of this course is probably an exercise in monotony – I spent most of it hydrating as appropriate, briefly visiting my husband and Meghann at the aid stations, and wondering at what moment the crushing tiredness and fatigue would set in. It never happened on the first loop. Everything went exactly according to plan – I never stopped too long, I hiked the hills, ran most of the way, chit-chatted with a person or two. Near the end I started feeling a bit fatigued, but didn't really pay too much attention to it, thinking I didn't have too much more to go. (The "just think about getting to each aid station" approach can backfire this way – eventually you realize you do have to go the whole 25k all over again…and become quite sad.) Eventually I emerged from the woods to find Meghann and Russell waiting for me. Meghann informed me that I was close to the start/finish, and now I "get to do it all over again!" Then this happens:
I sigh, keenly aware at this moment that I'm starting to get tired. And not just tired like "Well I just ran 25k probably a bit faster than I should have considering I need to do it again," (I actually ran the first loop about an hour faster than I ran the 25k race last year) but more like "Well, now that all the adrenaline has worn off I now realize I got an hour of sleep and desperately would like a nap." When I finally get back to the start/finish, I trudge over to the aid station under the pavilion and am greeted immediately with Olga barking "Salt! Coke!" at me. I immediately comply, and just as a side note from someone who has never drank coke during a race before, that shit was GLORIOUS. I talk with Russell and Meghann for a second, then Liza comes by and tells me I am still looking good, though in retrospect I'm not sure if she was just saying that because it's her coachly duty because I think I kind of looked like dirt. I'm just starting to think that I've been standing for far too long when Olga tells me it is time to go, time to start running again. Not really into defying Olga, I nod and start to trot off.
As soon as I'm out of sight I start walking again. It's getting really hot at this point, but eventually I head back into the woods and start the run/walk, on again/off again routine that will pretty much become standard for (almost) the entire last loop. Eventually I start a back and forth with another girl on the trail, her passing me, me passing her, going back and forth like this for a while until she is right in front of me and trips and hits the dirt pretty hard. I run to her side and ask her if she's okay, and she laughs it off a bit and tells me she had just been telling some friends the day before how she had never fallen on the trails.
At that point we run together for a while, eventually resolving to run together for the rest of the race. Turns out Keri twisted her foot around mile 9 or 10 on the first loop and had to have it taped up because it was causing her some serious pain. By the time she met up with me it was only getting worse. So we ran on together, resolving to see each other to the finish line no matter what (I don't think she knew what she was getting into at the time, haha). Eventually we hit what was (I think) supposed to be the 10k self-service aid station (basically a few cases of gallon jugs of water that had been left on the trail). I remember all throughout (and even at the end) the second looping thinking I had been paying pretty good attention to my hydration, but I very clearly remember how happy I was to see the water at this aid station, immediately downing one of my vest bottles and filling it up, then downing half of it and filling it up again. In retrospect I probably shouldn't have been that thirsty if I was keeping up with my hydration. I helped Keri fill her bottle and we pressed on.
It was around this point that I started to feel like things were about to go seriously wrong for me. I had a bit of trouble with my stomach, and getting to the next aid station seemed to take an eternity. At one point me and Keri started wondering aloud how far we could possibly be from the aid station, as it seemed like we'd been running (and walking) forever. At this point it was (for me, anyways) seriously hot. I was super tired. My stomach problems were only getting worse. I was feeling a bit nauseous, something I had never, ever had to deal with in running before. When we finally reached the aid station I dumped ice water all.freaking.over myself. It was awesome for approximately five seconds, until the heat burned it that away. I ate a few oranges and we started to trudge up the hill from the aid station, where we met with Meghann and Russell again.
Things pretty much only went downhill for me at that point. I remember a lot of pitiful retching on the side of the trail on my part. I was extremely nauseous for I would say about the last 10-11 miles of the race. I remember several times wanting to just stop and lay down on the trail because my head was swimming from fatigue. If Keri had not been with me, very graciously determined to get me to the finish line, I have no single doubt in my mind that I would have pulled a Liza and laid down somewhere to take a nap. I'm sure there are many words in the English language I could employ to describe how incredibly tired I was, but I think just saying "I was tired as shit" will suffice. Keri talked to me the whole way, and when we hit the fence line (the longest hill on the course) I had to stop constantly because I was either on the verge of puking, or had become nauseous to the point where I could hardly stand and was almost willing myself to puke.
Suffice to say this pretty much happened for the whole rest of the race. We ran a little, I inevitably had to stop, Keri gently coaxed me on and we trudged along. Let me just pause in this oh-so-thrilling narrative of my nausea to point out that Keri was basically the most amazing thing ever to happen to me during this loop. Having to make that last 10 mile trek all by myself, slowly (seriously – it took way longer than the three hours of my first loop) would have seriously been an exercise in total suckage. Keri let me stop to do my puke thing, she set little goals for us, and she was completely understanding of my melodramatic exclamations of being on death's door. She let me do my thing, while still keeping us moving. Doing the fence line without her probably would have taken me three times as long because I undoubtedly would have sat down on a rock, puked on myself, and fell asleep in the sun until I got heat stroke or someone found me and put me in the ground. (Or something. I don't know.)
So we hit the last aid station to some amount of fanfare, because Tejas Trails has the best damn volunteers on the planet. Joyce (one of the race directors) was at the aid station and upon being told by Keri that I was having some serious issues, Joyce immediately descended upon me like a mother hen. She asked me a few questions I can't remember, took my bottle and put a little bit of blue something in it and filled the rest with water and instructed me to drink. She took my vest and told me she would take it to the pavilion for me, saying if I was overheating the vest would certainly not help me in this situation. I remember someone instructing me to sit, but I told them I didn't want to sit because if I did I would never get back up again. There was concerned talk of overheating, dehydration, this and that as Joyce had me put a bag of ice on my neck, head, underarms. Someone asked me if I was feeling well enough to finish.
"Do you want to just go?" Joyce asked me.
"Yeah. Might as well."
Joyce had me put the bag of ice down my shirt, and we took off. Slowly. We walked, tried to run a bit, walked some more. We came around to the river crossing and I tried to pay no attention to the fact that I could practically see the pavilion from there, knowing that we still had to go around that part of the property and back through the woods again first. When we finally came out of the woods and took the last of the course through the Camp's buildings, we started to run. I was seriously uncomfortable with how much more nauseous running made me in addition to the stomach pain every footfall caused, but we were determined to run through to the finish line. All manner of crazy emotional thoughts ran through my head as we took those last few steps towards the pavilion, and coming down the incline to the finish I could see Meghann cheering and yelling while taking pictures with her phone.
So we crossed the finish line, and as soon as we do I fell into Russell's arms and cried like a little girl as Keri explained to whoever happened to be near that I was having some serious issues and needed to be looked at. They lay me down, give me something fizzy to drink, and Rachel later tries to feed me some ginger that she then prompts me to spit into her hand (because it was disgusting, how do you ultrarunning people eat that crap?!) because she has serious hardcore mom status. I laid around on the cot for a while before I was deemed able to get up and run around shortly after, and we hung out at the pavilion for a few hours and drank beers and cheered on many of the remaining runners as they came across the finish line.
It was quite a few days after the race until I accepted the fact that perhaps I did actually do the best I could have done under the circumstances of one hour of sleep, serious sickness, rough weather conditions, etc. I definitely did a lot of beating myself up about it, because it was the first time I'd gone that kind of distance (having only gone up to 20 miles in training) so I was seriously starting to wonder if it was just that I wasn't ready to do it. I'd been training for a while and was told by everyone and their mother that I was most certainly ready (and though I always appreciate the sentiment, most people just say that kind of thing so it's not always easy to take it seriously when you feel like you're at your worst). I'm pretty sure my husband is tired of me randomly bringing it up.
Looking back, there were some things I could have kept up with more – the heat definitely made me underestimate my need for water and fuel. At the time I was sure I was keeping up with it, but in retrospect I don't think I was. I can't recall exactly how much Tailwind I took in, but I feel like no matter much of that or any supplemental VFuel gels I ate it wouldn't have really mattered. The complete and total lack of sleep was probably going to catch up with me no matter what. I was seriously pleased with the performance of the shoes I wore – I wore the Pearl Izumi E:M Trail N1, a shoe I had bought only a few weeks before and kind of gambled with (I brought a spare pair of Altras just in case). I never had any serious issues with my feet hurting despite all the rocks out there (and despite the mileage) and the shoes are still light compared to my Altra Lone Peak 1.5s (the original shoe I had planned to wear). I was prepared as I could have been as far as my gear goes, but sometimes the cards just aren't in your favor. I was incredibly lucky to have Russell and Meghann there cheering for me and helping me out with anything I needed at all the aid stations, as well as Keri who stayed with me all those miles and pushed me to the end. Though I might have still finished without them, it would have been a much more miserable experience. So, until next time I suppose – Hell's Hills 25k on 05 April and another crack at 50k at Brazos Bend on 23 April.

On December 6th and 7th, Bioport Logistics hosted a 2-day operational workshop on air cargo chartering in emergencies. This real case scenario enabled to improve the logistics preparedness of 40 future logisticians of the aid sector.
"Working under pressure, coordinating their response, achieving the chartering of an AN-12 cargo plane as well as negotiating a contract with a broker were the expected outcomes", said Nicolas Petit, head of logistic operations at Bioport.
Working closely with aid work key players such as Bioport Logistics, a humanitarian supply chain service provider, is a major capacity building process that benefits to Bioforce students. Thanks to this partnership, Bioforce is willing to prepare the future of emergency response mechanism.
During this operational workshop, a real case scenario simulation of a natural disaster emergency response was set up and students were divided into 2 subgroups representing each an NGO: they had to coordinate their response towards supplies, find transport solutions, prepare batch of documents for export-import customs. Last but not least, students had to decide if and how the 2 NGOs would work together in an emergency situation so as to save cost. The Bioport Logistics staff were playing the different stakeholders (NGO direction, transport broker…) and their guidance toward students was very much appreciated. At the end of the two days, our students were still very much in their role, finding solutions and making mistakes they will remember in real situations in the field.

By Gussie Fauntleroy
Just out of art school, realist painter Joshua Flint tried his hand at various genres—landscape, still life, figurative, and city scenes, among them. Now he's narrowed his scope. "I'm ever-fascinated with people and how they choose to interact with the world and each other," Flint relates. "With all the stories and characters, there's always something to look at and learn." Individual portraits, faces, and people interacting are thus the focus of his work these days, with cityscapes often in his sights as well.
Flint, whose father was a city manager, grew up in cities in California, Oregon, Wyoming, and New Mexico. After graduating from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, he refined his skills through painting workshops, including one at the Los Angeles studio of acclaimed Chinese-born painter Jove Wang. Wang later invited Flint and several other artists to travel with him to China, where they studied with two of that country's most prominent painters at the China Academy of Arts in Shanghai.
Now 28 and living in Portland, OR, Flint has been experimenting with presentation and canvas shapes. "I'm always going to be learning. I never want that to stop," he declares. "I like being able to blend my profession with this examination of myself and the world." Flint's paintings are on view at Lawrence Gallery, Portland, OR, and Wendt Gallery, Laguna Beach, CA.

REHAU Radiant Heating, Snow and Ice Melting Systems Contribute to Signature Ritz-Carlton Experience in Combined Toronto Hotel/Condominium Project
One of the area's newest luxury hotels, The Ritz-Carlton Toronto is a 53-story, 700,000 square foot (65,000 m2) facility featuring a five-star hotel with 267 rooms and 135 condominium residences. The hotel has incorporated REHAU radiant heating to provide maximum guest comfort.
One of the area's newest luxury hotels, The Ritz-Carlton Toronto, is also the first and only combined Ritz-Carlton hotel and condominium residence in Canada.
This 53-story, 700,000 square foot (65,000 m2) facility features a five-star hotel with 267 rooms and 135 condominium residences located in the heart of downtown Toronto. Its design incorporates signature elements associated with The Ritz-Carlton luxury brand, including the latest in comfort and convenience technologies to ensure a high-quality guest and resident experience.
Featuring dramatic high ceilings in the lobby, reception and bar areas, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows on all 21 floors of hotel suites, The Ritz-Carlton Toronto building project was an ideal candidate for REHAU radiant heating.
"The even, consistent heat delivered by this type of system, which is radiated upward from the floor and remains in close proximity to occupants, was the obvious choice for this project," said Mark Euteneier, president of Klimatrol Environmental Systems, the project's REHAU technical associate and supplier. "Not only does radiant heating provide maximum comfort for guests, it also ensures more efficient overall HVAC operation, even on cold Toronto nights."
Klimatrol worked with third-party testing company Bodycote to develop a suite mock-up for HVAC testing which validated that a radiant floor heating system would deliver heat output equitable to that of a traditional perimeter space heating system design.
"With floor-to-ceiling curtainwall windows in each suite, it was imperative that the HVAC system could accommodate all anticipated heat loads ," explained Euteneier. "Upon validating this with Bodycote, we installed the radiant systems along the 12 foot (3.6 m) perimeter of each room, which not only provided ample, comfortable heat, but, as an unseen infloor system, also did not interfere with the luxury look and feel of the suites and windows."
In total, the project included 84,000 square feet (7,800 m2) of floor heating, installed throughout the hotel's main floor and in each of the hotel suites. Approximately 140,000 feet of �-in.and 5/8-in. RAUPEX® O2 Barrier pipe was used, along with 43 PRO-BALANCE® manifolds that were preassembled and pre-wired into manifold distribution cabinets located on the southwest and northeast corners of each floor.
"The superior pressure ratings of REHAU's RAUPEX pipe became particularly important due to the height of the building, which required higher pipe pressure ratings," said Euteneier.
In addition, a total of 16,000 square feet (1,500 m2) of REHAU snow and ice melting system was installed throughout various exterior areas of The Ritz-Carton Toronto. This included the main drive, garage ramp, entrance and walkway areas of the building, as well as outdoor terraces on the 6th and 21st floors.
Thanks to REHAU and Klimatrol, guests at The Ritz-Carlton Toronto can now enjoy all aspects of a luxurious stay – including comfortable indoor heat and safe, clear outdoor surfaces – throughout the winter season.

Kajol Devgan, née Mukherjee (Bengali: কাজল দেবগন Kajol Debgôn, Hindi: काजोल देवगन), born August 5, 1975 in Mumbai, India, popularly known as Kajol, is an award-winning popular Bollywood actress.
Kajol made her acting debut with Bekhudi (1992) and had her first hit with her second film Baazigar (1993) along with Shahrukh Khan, with whom she later went to deliver some of the biggest Bollywood hits like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (1995) and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (199. Her performances in both the films were praised and earned her two Filmfare Best Actress Awards. After the successful Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham released in 2001, she took a sabbatical from full time acting for five years. She made a successful comeback with Kunal Kohli's Fanaa (2006), for which she received her fourth Best Actress award at the Filmfare ceremony. During her career years, she has been part of many critically and commercially successful films, and is regarded as one of India's most successful actresses.[1]
Film Background
Main article: Mukherjee-Samarth family (film)
Touted as one of the best actresses in Bollywood, Kajol, who is of Bengali-Marathi descent, in fact belongs to a family tree with a long respectable history in the Indian cinema. Her mother Tanuja is a renowned award-winning actress, whilst her father Shomu Mukherjee is a film producer. Her late maternal aunt, Nutan, was one of the most acclaimed actresses, and is the record holder for the most (five times) Filmfare Awards for Best Actress. Late maternal grandmother Shobhna Samarth and great grandmother Rattan Bai had both been influential figures in the early stages of Hindi cinema.
Her paternal uncles are film producers; Joy Mukherjee and Deb Mukherjee. Kajol's paternal grandfather, Sashadhar Mukherjee, was a filmmaker. His wife Satirani Devi, Kajol's paternal grandmother, was the sister of three famous film personalities, Ashok Kumar, Anoop Kumar and Kishore Kumar. Kajol's cousins Rani Mukerji, Sharbani Mukherjee and Mohnish Behl are also Bollywood actors. Kajol's younger sister Tanisha Mukherjee has recently started a film career.
Kajol married Bollywood actor Ajay Devgan on February 24, 1999. In April 2003, she gave birth to a daughter named Nysa, which means Goddess of purity.
Kajol left school and started her career at the age of seventeen. Although her debut film, Bekhudi (1992) was not a great success at the box office, her performance was noticed and she went on to work with big production houses in India.
In 1993, she shot to fame with her second film, Baazigar, opposite Shahrukh Khan. The film was her first major hit, and her pairing with Khan proved to be appreciated. She later went on to make a popular pairing with him in a number of films, all of which were box office successes.[2]
Her first release in 1994, Udhaar Ki Zindagi, was a box-office failure.[3] Despite that, her performance in the film was much appreciated by critics, and she won the BFJA Best Actress Award for this film. She next starred in her first Yash Raj Film, the romantic drama Yeh Dillagi, co-starring opposite Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. The film was a box office success and her performance as Sapna, a strong dreamy girl who leaves her paternal home to make her own life in the big city, earned Kajol her first nomination for Best Actress award at the Filmfare.
1995 proved to be a very good year for Kajol. She went on to star alongside Shahrukh Khan in two of the year's biggest hits. Her first release was Rakesh Roshan's Karan Arjun. The film, which dealt with reincarnation, became the second biggest hit of the year.[4] While three of her next releases that year failed at the box office, her last release, Aditya Chopra's directorial debut, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, was not only the biggest hit of that year, but one of the biggest hits of Hindi cinema ever.[5] The film has entered its twelfth year in Mumbai theaters, grossing over 12 billion rupees overall, making it one of the biggest film blockbusters in Bollywood.[6] Kajol's performance in the film was praised, and she received her first Filmfare Best Actress Award.
Kajol had only one release in 1996, Bambai Ka Babu, opposite Saif Ali Khan, which was a major box office failure.[7]
In 1997, Kajol she starred in Gupt: The Hidden Truth. Co-starring actors Bobby Deol and Manisha Koirala, the film was one of the highest grossing films of that year.[8] Apart from that, her performance was a significant development for female actors in Bollywood; she was the first female actor to win the Filmfare Best Villain Award. She next starred in Hamesha. Like Karan Arjun, the film dealt with the topic of reincarnation. However, unlike the latter, it was a box office failure.[8] She next starred in her first Tamil film, Minsaara Kanavu. The film was a major critical success and Kajol won her first Best Actress award at the Filmfare Awards South ceremony. Her last release that years was the romantic-comedy Ishq, where she was paired with her then future husband, Ajay Devgan; the film did well.[8]
Kajol had further success in 1998, as she starred in three of the year's biggest hits.[9] She first starred opposite Salman Khan in the comedy Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya. The film was the fouth highest grossing film of the year. Her next release, Dushman alongside Sanjay Dutt, did moderately well at the box office. She had a double role in the film, and won her first Star Screen Award Best Actress for her performance. She next starred opposite Ajay Devgan in the romance Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, which was the second biggest hit of that year. However, her biggest success that year came with her last release, Karan Johar's directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Starring opposite Shahrukh Khan, the romance went on to become the biggest hit of the year in both India and overseas.[10] Additionally, she won her second Filmfare Best Actress
Award for her performance.
Kajol's first release in 1999 was the drama film Dil Kya Kare. She played the supporting role of Nandita Rai, which was well received, yet, the film flopped. She had a hit with her second release, the family drama Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain. Starring alongside Anil Kapoor, Kajol received another Best Actress nomination at the Filmfare.[11]
She had an unsuccessful year in 2000, as her only release that year, Raju Chacha went unnoticed.[12]
Kajol had only two films released in 2001. She first played a double role in the drama Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi, which was a major commercial failure. However, she reinvented her success in her second venture with Karan Johar, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, which was one of the biggest hits of the year,[13] and for which she won several Best Actress awards, including her third Filmfare Best Actress Award and her second Star Screen Award Best Actress. Critic, Taran Adarsh, wrote of her performance in the film, "Kajol is first-rate in the role of a typical Chandni Chowk lass. Her Punjabi dialect will win her immense praise. The sequence when she seeks Amitabh's aashirwad, without him knowing about it, is terrific."[14] Following the success of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kajol took a sabbatical from full time acting for five years. She gave birth to her daughter Nysa in 2003.
She made a successful comeback in 2006 with Kunal Kohli's drama Fanaa, one of the highest grossing films of the year.[15] Portraying a blind Kashmiri girl who falls in love with a Kashmiri independence fighter in the film, she won her fourth Filmfare Best Actress Award, which placed her at par with other famous Bollywood actresses, Meena Kumari and Madhuri Dixit, each of whom holds 4 Best Actress awards from Filmfare. Kajol's late aunt, Nutan currently holds the record for five such awards. As of January 2007, Kajol completed shooting for her husband Ajay Devgan's directorial debut U, Me Aur Hum which is set for release in April 2008.
In 2005, she appeared on the TV show Kaun Banega Crorepati (the Indian version of Who wants to be a millionaire?) hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. She was paired with her husband Ajay Devgan. They won 1 crore (10 million) rupees and donated them to a cancer hospital in Chennai. She has also appeared on Indian Idol, seasons one and two, as a guest judge.
She also appeared on Karan Johar's talk show Koffee with Karan with Shahrukh Khan on the first episode. Back again with Season 2 of Koffee with Karan, Karan's first episode started with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai reunion. After almost a decade since his directoral debut Karan invited her along with Shahrukh and Rani Mukerji. In 2006, She was a guest judge in the singing contest show Indian Idol 2. In that same year, she modeled and walked the ramp for Manish Malhotra's fashion display Fashion Week 2006, titled Freedom, along with actress Preity Zinta.[16]

|History of Japan
Kōō (康応), also romanized as Kō-ō, was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. year name) of the Northern Court during the Era of Northern and Southern Courts after Kakei and before Meitoku. This period spanned the years from February 1389 to March 1390.[1] The emperor in Kyoto was Emperor Go-Komatsu (後小松天皇 Go-Komatsu-tennō)[2] The Southern Court rival in Yoshino during this time-frame was Emperor Go-Kameyama (後亀山天皇 Go-Kameyama-tennō).
Nanboku-chō overview[edit]
During the Meiji period, an Imperial decree dated March 3, 1911 established that the legitimate reigning monarchs of this period were the direct descendants of Emperor Go-Daigo through Emperor Go-Murakami, whose Southern Court (南朝 nanchō) had been established in exile in Yoshino, near Nara.[3]
Until the end of the Edo period, the militarily superior pretender-Emperors supported by the Ashikaga shogunate had been mistakenly incorporated in Imperial chronologies despite the undisputed fact that the Imperial Regalia were not in their possession.[3]
This illegitimate Northern Court (北朝 hokuchō) had been established in Kyoto by Ashikaga Takauji.[3]
Change of era[edit]
- 1389, also called Kōō gannen (康応元年): The new era name was created to mark an event or series of events. The previous era ended and the new one commenced in Kakei 3.
In this time frame, Genchū (1384–1393) was the Southern Court equivalent nengō.[4]
Events of the Kōō era[edit]
- 1389 (Kōō 1): Dissension continues in Toki family in Mino.[5]
- 1389 (Kōō 1): Yoshimitsu pacifies Kyūshū and distributes lands; Yoshimitsu opposed by Kamakura kanrei Ashikaga Ujimitsu.[5]
- 1389 (Kōō 1, 7th month): The udaijin Saioinji Sanetoshi died at the age of 56.[6]
- 1390 (Kōō 2): Kusunoki defeated; Yamana Ujikiyo chastises Tokinaga.[5]

Ground Reality and Pitch:
The Feroz Shah Kotla, established in 1883, is one of the premier grounds in India. The Kotla hosted its first Test match in 1948 when a John Goddard led West Indian side toured India. This ground is world renowned for the 10 wickets in an innings bagged by Anil Kumble against Pakistan in 1999. The Feroz Shah Kotla came under a lot of critisism on Friday by various captains follow its low nature and indifferent bounce. The Delhi team would be praying for a pitch that would be more batsmen friendly.
Temperatures: Min-21 C Max-33 C | Forecast: Clear Skies
Team Updates:
Delhi: The Daredevils had a disastrous start to their Champions League campaign as Victoria Bushrangers humiliated them by seven wickets in their own backyard in the opening match, which means the game against Wayamba is a must-win situation for the Gautam Gambhir-led side. The Daredevils batting-line boasts of some big names like Virender Sehwag, Gambhir, Tillekaratne Dilshan, Owais Shah among others but they cut a sorry figure against a disciplined Victoria attack last night as the Delhi side could manage only 98 runs. senior players like Gambhir and Sehwag will have to take the responsibility to guide the side through as a repeat of such a shoddy display by the batters will undoubtedly close the next stage doors for Daredevils.
Waymaba: The team from Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are an unknown entity in this tournament and do not have any foreign recruit in their side, which might work in their favour considering the gelling among the players. With the likes of former Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene, Mubarak, Farvez Mahroof, Ajantha Mendis, Isuru Udana among others up its rank, Wayamba has plenty of international experience in their team.
Players to Watch:
Sehwag: The Delhi Dasher looked in good touch in the first match, hitting a couple of sweetly timed boundaries, until a good catch brought about his downfall. Sehwag would look to put that behind and hope to get amongst the runs against Wayamba.
Mahela Jayawardene: The former Sri Lankan captain is no stranger to sub continent conditions. Having played numerous matches and also representing Punjab in the IPL, Mahela has enough experience to handle the Delhi bowlers in an effective way.
Numbers Game:
19: The number of wickets taken by Ashish Nehra during the second edition of the IPL.
36.50: Mahela Jayawardene's average during IPL 2009. He played 10 matches and has managed to score one fifty.
Sound Bytes:
There is huge responsibility on me and Sehwag. From here we have to win every game if we want to be there in the competition. We have nothing to lose and I hope we will put up a much better performance in the next match: Gautam Gambhir
We know each other very well. Our big advantage is that we have played together for the last two years, so we know each others strength and weaknesses: Jehan Mubarrak captain of the Wayamba team
Delhi face must-win game
