Wits students voice anger at fee hikes
As management and student negotiators met over fee hikes at the University of Witwatersrand on Wednesday, protesting students weaved their way around the campus chanting slogans and singing songs.
South African Students Congress (Sasco) provincial leader Themba Masondo, briefing students on the progress of the meeting, said the situation between management and student negotiators was "very hostile".
"Negotiations are ongoing ... we are finding that management is highly arrogant. The situation is very hostile," he said.
Talks were continuing and as long as management failed to comply with the students' demands the protest would continue.
Students carried placards reading: "Wits should be listed in the JSE" and "Higher education for all or no education at all".
Many protesting students felt strongly about the issue and said they were concerned that the fee hikes would deny many students access to the university in 2010.
Second-year mining engineering student Jabu Sibiya said the increase would hit poor families hard.
"I don't know whether my parents will be able to pay with such an increase," he said.
Sibiya said he had passed maths and science "very well" and he was at the top of his class but might have to leave should his fees become too heavy a burden for his parents.
Although police were on campus the protest was largely peaceful on Wednesday afternoon.
Many students milled about making their way from one class to the next while others sat on the grass enjoying the early spring sun.
Outside the Wits Great Hall a mock image of the Berlin Wall was erected where musicians entertained students who were seemingly oblivious to the cause taken up by their colleagues.
One non-protesting student held up a tongue-in-cheek placard saying "Inflation sucks, deal with it."
First-year student Kefiloe Pitso said she could not understand how the university wanted to implement a double-digit fee hike in the midst of a recession.
"I am supporting this because if I don't it means that next year there's no possibility I will be here," she said.
Economics and finance student Tumz B said the protest action highlighted the underlying class and race divisions prevalent at Wits university.
He said while protesting students—who were largely, but not all, black—listened to their leaders talking about their cause, the largely non-black students listened to songs about the fall of the Berlin wall.
"I hate to describe it as white and black because the divide is more a class divide, but it's a fact that poorer students are mostly black.
"Most white students won't protest because their parents can afford the fees," he said.
Internationals relations student Enos Phosa said although the university was divided because of the historical background of its students, the goals achieved by the protest would benefit everyone.
"If we succeed the benefits will be universal, but this does impact more on some than others".
Achilles Tole, a BA student, said the university had placed many families in difficult financial situations and bemoaned the fact that he could not use his library card because he had not yet paid up his fees.
He said this made it difficult for him to complete essays on time and he was forced to get his friends to borrow books from the library for him.
Other students felt the fee increases were a normal part of university education.
"Everything has to go up, you can't run away from it," said first-year student Denise Tamagnone.
She felt the protest was "intimidating and pretty scary".
"The protesters came into one of my lectures and jumped on our desks," she said, adding that it was unfair that she felt unsafe on her own campus.
Health sciences student Trisha-Gean Mahon said students should rather write a letter to the dean in order to voice their concerns.
"I don't think this will get anything done, they should think about a different way, like writing to the dean," she said.—Sapa

Sonic X (ソニックX Sonikku Ekkusu?) is an anime series loosely based on the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series. It was animated and produced in Japan by TMS Entertainment with the partnership of Sega and Sonic Team. It was first broadcasted in Japan in 2003 by TV Tokyo. During that same year, 4Kids Entertainment obtained the license to localize and broadcast the show in America.
Originally planned as a 52 episode series which would be inspired by the story-lines of the Sonic Adventure series, Sonic X expanded to 78 episodes between 2005 and 2006. These additional episodes (53 to 78) were never aired in Japan. An interesting note is that the original Japanese version is probably one of the more controversial anime to come across 4Kids' line of dubbing, and thus it was heavily edited though all 78 episodes that were dubbed in English.
As of June 2012, the copyright and branding of Sonic X in America was passed onto Saban Brand's Kidsco Media Ventures following 4Kids Entertainment's bankruptcy due to a lawsuit.[2] Despite this, the show did not receive significant differences from 4Kids Entertainment's changes.
Plot SynopsisEdit
- See also: List of Sonic X episodes
The 78 episodes in Sonic X are split into eight sagas[3]:
- New World Saga (episodes 1-13)
- Chaos Emerald Saga (episodes 14-26)
- Chaos Saga (episodes 27-32)
- Shadow Saga (episodes 33-38)
- Egg Moon Saga (episodes 39-41)
- Emerl Saga (episodes 42-46)
- Homebound Saga (episodes 47-52)
- Metarex Saga (episodes 53-78)
Season 1 (1st half of Series 1)Edit
New World SagaEdit
Sonic and his friends arrived into Earth from their unnamed home planet via Chaos Control. Sonic met Christopher Thorndyke, becoming friends with him. Sonic then rescued his other friends who ended up in Earth as well and they agreed to settle into the Thorndyke Mansion as their new home in Earth. They mainly had to hide from the public because of their unique characteristics. Dr. Eggman vowed to achieve world domination over Earth with his robots but are stopped by Sonic and his friends. The President, however, is greatly concerned with Eggman's threats to the public society and issues the military to attack Eggman's base. Sonic and his friends also aided the military and at the end, Eggman's base was destroyed and Sonic was praised as a hero to the human population.
Chaos Emerald SagaEdit
Now being hailed as heroes, Sonic's friends are able to get out of the house more often and went on vacations. Dr. Eggman and his diabolical attempts to achieve world domination returns, mainly using his flying fortresses the Egg Fort and Egg Fort II as his new operational bases instead of a stationary tower but this didn't stop Sonic and his friends from continuing to defeat Eggman.
Also, the heroes collected Chaos Emeralds, bringing their total to five while Eggman managed to steal one. As Knuckles was desperate to obtain the last Chaos Emerald but knew it was not possible due to Sonic and Eggman's differences, he made the mistake of entrusting Dr. Eggman with the Chaos Emeralds the heroes have collected. The Egg Fort II transforms into E-99 Eggsterminator and harnesses the emeralds' power to defeat Sonic but Chris manages to reclaim the emeralds and give them to Sonic, allowing Sonic to transform into Super Sonic and defeat Eggman. As a result of the seven Chaos Emeralds' proximity within another, Chaos Control occurred but instead of sending Sonic and his friends back to their home planet, parts of Sonic's world (such as Angel Island) has joined with Earth.
Season 2 (2nd half of Series 1)Edit
Chaos SagaEdit
The series focused on an adaption of Sonic Adventure, introducing characters such as Chaos and Tikal. Eggman befriended Chaos so he could utilize its potential powers to achieve world domination and to Sonic and his friends' shock, Chaos grew more powerful every time he is fed a Chaos Emerald. While Sonic and his friends attempt to collect each Chaos Emerald they can find to prevent Chaos from growing stronger, Knuckles began to discover the history of his own tribe of Echidnas that lived on Angel Island as he found the pieces of the Master Emerald since it was shattered when Dr. Eggman awakened Chaos.
Eventually, Chaos betrayed Eggman, wanting the seven Chaos Emeralds for its own purposes and began to destroy and flood Station Square by assuming the form of Perfect Chaos. Tikal appeared, wanting to stop Chaos from destroying the world like it did several millennia ago so Sonic harnessed the Chaos Emeralds that Chaos discarded to transform into Super Sonic, not knowing that the emeralds weren't completely drained of its powers and defeated Chaos who became sentinent once more.
Shadow SagaEdit
The series focused on an adaption of Sonic Adventure 2, introducing Shadow the Hedgehog, a new arch-rival to Sonic. Authorities mistook Shadow as Sonic as a fugitive for various crimes. As an act of revenge for the death of his close friend, Maria, Shadow wanted to destroy the humans and Eggman hones a powerful weapon called the Eclipse Cannon in order to threaten the humans. It needed the power of the Chaos Emeralds so Shadow, Eggman and mysteriously Rouge went to gather the Chaos Emeralds. Although the trio only collected six of the emeralds, Eggman demonstrated the Eclipse Cannon's power by blowing half of the moon. Seeing that the source of the weapon and the emeralds are up in Space Colony ARK, Sonic and his friends traveled there to stop Eggman from achieving his goals.
Eventually, Eggman discovered that the heroes had the seventh Chaos Emerald and stole it to harness the full power of the Eclipse Cannon but this triggered a new program devised by Eggman's grandfather, Gerald Robotnik, who planned to collide the Space Colony ARK with Earth in order to seek vengeance at the humans when all seven Chaos Emeralds are used in the Eclipse Cannon. Sonic, his friends and Eggman joined forces in order to prevent this doomsday from happening by disabling the Chaos Emerald's energy. Shadow was reluctant to help the heroes but was convinced by Chris to remember Maria's true promise, to bring hope to humanity. Now determined to aid the heroes, Shadow distracted the Bio Lizard that attacked Sonic and his friends, allowing Knuckles to nullify the Chaos Emeralds with the Master Emerald but the doomsday was not over yet as the Bio Lizard merged with the ARK, determined to keep on its collision course. Sonic and Shadow used the emeralds to transform into Super Sonic and Super Shadow and together, they defeated the Bio Lizard (then known as the Final Lizard) and teleported the ARK back to its spot, saving the world from doomsday. This, however, cost the life of Shadow and everyone remembered him for being a hero.
Egg Moon SagaEdit
Following from the doomsday, more guests from Sonic's world began to arrive on Earth, most notably the Chaotix and Cream's mother Vanilla the Rabbit (although it is seen in the comics that the former somehow were transported back to Sonic's world under unknown reasons). All the while, Eggman wanted to repair the Moon as an act of remorse for his evil deeds during the Shadow Saga and does it so in a short amount of time, forming the Egg Moon.
Later, it was seen that Earth was seemingly under a permanent solar eclipse due to the fact that the Egg Moon malfunctioned (or Eggman claimed so anyway). To make up for this, Eggman began advertising Sunshine Balls which could replicate sunlight. Soon, the citizens started hailing Eggman as a hero but Sonic didn't trust Eggman and began sabotaging the Sunshine Balls' source, creating a major disruption within the public and demanded Sonic to be arrested.
Everyone wanted to know why Sonic was doing this until the hedgehog himself told authorities of Eggman's true motives. Now being informed of this, the authorities now swayed their decision to arrest Eggman and with Sonic and his friends' help, they were successful in doing so and Sonic was hailed as the true hero once more.
Emerl SagaEdit
With Dr. Eggman behind bars, he sends Bokkun to wake up Emerl in his abandoned base. Afterwords Bokkun goes to fight Sonic in a giant tank with Emerl inside. Sonic beats him, and the tank self-destructs launching Emerl far away. Bokkun explains to Sonic that he was a distraction while another robot is sent to break Eggman out of prison. But the robot is stopped by Sam Speed and Amy Rose. Emerl is later found by Cream the Rabbit and Cheese outside the Thorndyke Mansion hidden in the bushes beat up.
Eggman, desperate to break out of prison, decides to work his way out via community service as a mechanic repairing old machines but as he repairs the machines he implants a device that makes them become alive and activate other machines to do his will. While Sonic is busy neutralizing the machines, Bokkun breaks Eggman out of jail.
To counteract Eggman's escape, the President makes a tournament and offers a grand prize of the red Chaos Emerald. Sonic, Knuckles and Rouge are persuaded to enter once they hear about the prize and because the tournament is open for anyone to join. Mr. Thorndyke enters Tails, Amy, Ella, Mr. Tanaka, Chris and Chuck. Along with them, Lucky, Decoe, Bocoe, The President, Hawk, Danny, Sam Speed, Big the Cat, Mr. Steward, Topaz , "The Black Knight" and Emerl enter.
Emerl is declared the winner of the tournament, and is given the Chaos Emerald. But he becomes violent from the power of the emerald reawakening his old coding and his loyalty to Dr. Eggman. Sonic and his friends try to stop him but Emerl, using his ability to copy moves stops them and begins to wreck havoc on the arena and then the city.
Cream and Cheese then decide to persuade Emerl to stop attacking, Emerl thinks for a second, but the Chaos Emerald's energy was too powerful to change his mind and Cream and cheese attack him together. As Emerl tries to copy one of their abilities the other gets in the way and strikes him. Emerl falls into the ocean and as he sinks down he begins to cry.
Homebound SagaEdit
Season 3 (Series 2)Edit
Metarex SagaEdit
It has been six months since Sonic and friends returned to their own dimension. On Chris's planet, it has been six years and Chris is now eighteen and seems to have a relationship with Helen. He has been working on repairing his grandfather's dimensional portal. In Sonic's world, a new girl named Cosmo arrives on Sonic's planet, looking for the legendary one who can wield the powers of the seven Chaos Emeralds. Sonic, having been nearly defeated in outer space by a new enemy called Dark Oak, scatters the Chaos Emeralds across the galaxy in order to prevent Dark Oak from using their power. When Chris uses the dimensional portal, he suddenly finds himself in Sonic's world. His age has regressed all the way back to the age he was when he first met Sonic; however, Chris still has all his memories of the years he spent repairing the dimensional portal.
Chris learns that to Sonic, only six months had passed. During their reunion, Dark Oak and his Metarex Army attack Sonic's planet and steals the "Planet Egg" from it. Without the Planet Egg, all the trees and plants on Sonic's planet will wither and die. Sonic and his friends decide that Dark Oak and his schemes must be stopped, and they venture into space to retrieve the Chaos Emeralds.
This series uses elements from Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog such as Shadow surviving and being released with amnesia for the former and the common Metarex resembling the common Black Arms for the latter. After many run-ins with Dr. Eggman, and the pursuing Metarex Army, Cosmo's dark secret is eventually unveiled: she has been an unwilling spy for the Metarex all along and the Metarex themselves are actually part of the same race of autonomous, anthropomorphic plants that Cosmo is of, having twisted and modified their bodies for combat after war overtook their planet. They now must depend on the energy of the Planet Eggs to stay alive. When the Metarex enact a plan that could destroy the entire universe, Cosmo sacrifices herself in order to save everybody with the help of Super Sonic and Super Shadow; much to the grief of Tails, who had fallen in love with Cosmo during the course of their adventure. It is Tails himself who must kill Cosmo in order to release her power, which would halt the advance of Dark Oak and return him to his benevolent form. Her essence is manifested in the form of a seed, which Tails later cultivates.
With the Metarex destroyed, Eggman builds an invention that sends Chris home and Chris accepts, willing to leave all his friends to return home. Soon thereafter, Dr. Eggman revives his previous rivalry with Sonic, albeit a lighthearted one. The series ends with unresolved cliffhangers, such as the whereabouts of Chris, Cosmo's true fate (in the Japanese version) and Shadow (although the Japanese version reveals Shadow is alive, depicting him looking at Molly's memorial).
Production notesEdit
In late 2004, production sketches, model sheets, storyboards and episode scripts of a supposed Series 2 began surfacing. Many dismissed them as a fan-made hoax as neither Sega nor TMS had officially announced continuing Sonic X beyond the original 52 episodes. It was not until early 2005 that Jetix France began to air the 26-episode "Series 2" shortly followed by a Taiwanese station and on 10 September 2005, 4Kids Entertainment began to air "Series 2" calling it "Season 3". Despite being made in Japan and dubbed into Japanese the show has not yet been aired there; in fact, currently, the only way to view "Series 2" in its original native language (Japanese) is to purchase the Chinese Video CDs, which feature Japanese dialogue with Chinese subtitles. This video CD uses the second version of the Japanese opening theme, "Sonic Drive", and the second version of the Japanese ending theme, "The Shining Road", as well as a new ending sequence with the song T.O.P.
Unproduced Series 3 (Season 4)Edit
Rumors have also circulated about a possible fourth season of Sonic X being in development, for instance, according to SonicHQ TMS is listing Sonic X among the anime they are producing (although this may be because the third season had not yet been broadcast in Japan). The ending of episode 78 has also fueled speculation; 4Kids TV has also marketed that episode as the season finale. There were many cliffhangers such as what happened to Chris. In the very end, after Sonic and the gang take off in the X-Tornado, a pot is shown with a small plant in it, which could supposedly be one of Cosmo's seeds (or even Cosmo herself according to the Japanese version). In addition, Shadow is shown to be alive, him having put a rose next to Molly's grave. This scene is excluded from the English version, although he is certainly still alive as implied by Eggman. There are other details to support another season, including how TMS' site says "78+ episodes", but TMS said at SonicAnime.net that there are no new episodes being produced. So that means Season 4 is canceled.

Original charactersEdit
Season 1, 2 & 3 (Series 1 & 2)Edit
Season 1 & 2 (Series 1)Edit
Season 3 (Series 2)Edit
A concept art video/trailer released before Sonic X contains many features which were changed before the show was actually aired. These included a single still picture of a blue-gray hedgehog (the picture to the right). This image was then found on the official Sega website with the name Nazo.jpg. Since he has not appeared in the actual show and Sega has given no more information about him, Sonic fans popularly refer to him as "Nazo", which means "mystery" in Japanese. Also because of the lack of canon information, much debate has followed about who he was to be.
Novel adaptionsEdit
Six Sonic X novels based on the first few episodes of the Metarex Saga were published between 2005 and 2007. These are: Aqua Planet, Dr. Eggman Goes to War, Battle at Ice Palace and Desperately Seeking Sonic by Charlotte Fullerton, Meteor Shower Messenger by Paul Ruditis and Spaceship Blue Typhoon by Diana Gallagher.
Comic seriesEdit
Toy lineEdit
The 4Kids version of the show was backed up by a toyline. The early figures in this line were in fact re-releases of an earlier Sonic Adventure toyline, criticized by many for awkward poses and poor sculpting. The line has currently moved onto more accurate and updated figures. Taking a concept from the popular Marvel Legends toys, one wave presents each of the five characters in it with part of a generic E-Series robot. Fans who buy the whole wave can complete the robot as a 'bonus' figure. Further waves include the re-release the first wave with the addition of a special key-chain, the Space Fighters collection and the Chaos Emeralds collection.
McDonald's released a set of Sonic X disk shooters featuring Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Shadow as toys for Happy Meals.
Leapster gameEdit
An educational game based on the series, also titled Sonic X, was released for the LeapFrog Leapster system.
Browser gameEdit
In the Vortex Sonic X website, there is a browser game entitled Sonic X Ring Thing.

There is an album comprising of the music tracks that are each played during certain moments in the Japanese version of the anime entitled "Sonic X ~Original Sound Tracks~". There are also short albums that mainly feature the Japanese opening and ending themes.
Differences between American and Japanese versionsEdit
Sonic X has numerous edits when the English version was to be dubbed and many items, places, dialogue etc. have been edited from its Japanese version to better suit children and comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) laws (in the U.S. and in rare cases even though at some points not followed, Canada), the TV Networks' regulations, and in other cases, social-factors of Americans, including violence, and a few others. Some of them has been done directly (such as violence, cursing and others) or in-directly (such as music). Because of this, there has numerous differences that has been seen as shown below.
- In the Japanese version, all firearm sound effects had a bullet sound effect from a gun. In the American version, it was completely replaced with laser sound effects in any use of handguns was removed as well.
- There are some scenes of blood, violence, death, text and gunfire in the Japanese version that were removed by 4Kids.
- In the Japanese version, Eggman's messenger robot is called Messenger Robo. In the American version, he is simply called Bokkun.
- In the Japanese version, the characters (mostly Sonic) will say lines in Engrish, like "Thank you" or "No way", in which they mention other languages. In the American version, the only mention to other languages is Mr. Inteligente, which is Spanish for smart and Sonic saying "sayonara" which is Japanese for goodbye.
- During the third season, Rouge bribes Bokkun with a pendant. In the Japanese version, it was revealed that a picture of Cream is inside the pendant, thus revealing that Bokkun has a crush on Cream. In the English version, the contents were never seen for unknown reasons.
- The Japanese version features Eyecatch cards at various intervals, displaying details about a character, such as weight, height and age. It even extends to Eggman's various robots. This was removed in the English version for unknown reasons.
- In the American version, Rouge's cleavage is sometimes edited to make her breasts seem shorter.
- All instances involving or depicting alcohol were portrayed child-friendly drinks. i.e: Champagne is replaced with Cola while beer is replaced with orange juice.
Eyecatch cardsEdit
Eyecatch cards are cards with various information about some of the characters and objects appearing during the episodes of the first series (seasons 1 and 2) in the Japanese version of Sonic X.
|An image gallery is available for
Sonic X.
- The voice actor for Sonic at the time, Ryan Drummond, offered to voice Sonic for the dub but was rejected by 4Kids for not living in New York. Eventually, Drummond was removed as the voice actor for the Sonic games, after Sega of America decided to replace the entire voice cast for the games with the 4Kids cast shortly before the death of Deem Bristow, the previous voice actor for Dr. Eggman. Allegedly, he was only told when he asked if he would be needed for voice recordings in Shadow the Hedgehog from the beginning. Even though Drummond wanted to continue voicing Sonic, he was declined to voicing him for Shadow the Hedgehog, which resulted in many complaints from fans of the previous voice cast.
- When the first thirteen episodes of Series 2/Season 3 were released on DVD in the US, they were packaged as the The Complete 5th Season (with thirteen episodes being a "season", and those episodes being the fifth division of thirteen episodes); also, the cover art to the DVD resembles the poster for the movie Firefox, with the Blue Typhoon in the same space as the MiG-31, the movie's titular jet fighter.
- Sonic X has the most number of episodes among the Sonic television series. (Sonic X has 78 episodes while Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog had 66 episodes counting Christmas Blast, Sonic SatAM had 26 and Sonic Underground had 40.)
- In episode 20 of the Japanese version, Cream mentions that she was raised in Green Hill Zone, a reference to the classic 16-bit games.
- In the Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 adaption episodes, the Emerald colors do not match up with their game counterparts.[citation needed]
- The Australian Sonic X DVDs came with a trailer of Sonic Mega Collection Plus.
- Shadow was seen removing his Inhibitor Rings and receiving a huge power boost as a result in the ending of his story in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), a concept originally used in Sonic X.
- In an interview, the English writer of Sonic X states that he does not know a thing about Sonic, stating that he never played a single game, watched a single episode from any Sonic show, or even read any of the comics.[4]
- France was the only European country to transmit the complete version of Sonic X uncensored.[citation needed]
- In an interview, Jason Griffith revealed that he originally auditioned for the part of Chris, but was instead cast as Sonic. He did say that he thought it was exciting to be Sonic's companion but the producers thought his voice was better for Sonic.[5]
- In a commercial for season 3 of Sonic X, there are four videos of the game Shadow the Hedgehog, most likely an error. In this same commercial, a small clip from the Japanese opening plays. Both can be seen using frame-by-frame views.
- This is the first Sonic cartoon in America to not have Dr. Eggman referred to as "Dr. Robotnik". The second will be Sonic Boom.
- Sonic X is notable for being one of the continuities of which Sonic and Amy's relationship borders more on romance than most other franchises. While Amy remains roughly the same in her approach to Sonic, he shows more affection that borders on romance, something that doesn't happen in most media aside from optional dialog and optional scenes in various games such as Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood and Sonic Unleashed. Another continuity is the Sonic the Hedgheog manga series, where Eimi is the love interest of Nikki whose alter ego is Sonic the Hedgehog.
- 4Kids had Jason Griffith and Dan Green as Sonic and Knuckles sing along with other 4Kids voice actors singing the American National Anthem. [6]
- In Sonic Adventure DX, during missions 3 and 12, a Sonic X poster with Sonic and Chris is visible in Station Square.
- Sonic X was on the air for 11 years (including reruns), making it the longest running Sonic television series.

I do of course know that battle-stones can be aquired by the following means:
1) Family-specific battle-stones from daily pet battle bags - upgrades to rare quality
2) Generic battle-stones from wild pet battles - upgrades to rare quality
3) Buying generic battle-stones - upgrades to uncommon quality
The thing I am wondering about:
What decides which family-specific battle-stone drops from daily pet battle bags? Is it possible to farm specifically for a certain family battle-stone?
- The master pet tamers first pet? Second pet? Last pet? Random but restricted to the family of the master pet tamers three pets?
- The pet you use to kill the first or perhaps last of the master pet trainers pets? Random but restricted to the family of the pets in your team?
Prior to 5.1 I farmed up a lot of bags, and I got 2 flying stones and 1 dragonkin stone.
- I don't know which master pet trainers bag gave me the respective stone.
- I know that I didn't use any flying pets when getting those bags.
- I know that I used a dragonkin in every single battle I got those bags from.
Perhaps it is as simple as this: 10 % chance of getting a battle-stone from a daily bag. The chosen family is completely random, and as there are 10 pet families it is a 10 % chance to get the respective pet family. Roll a D10!
I have only read about the existence of the battle-stones, but haven't seen anything about how the family specific battle-stones are decided to drop. Maybe I haven't been thorough enough in my research, but I hope that someone can enlighten me.
Thanks on front

text: CLEANING UP TOWN: The Salyersville Fire Department held a controlled burn of a delapidated home on West Maple Street in Salyersville Wedesday, November 13. Fire Chief Paul Howard said the owners wanted the home to be torn down and, in an effort to clean up the neighborhood, the fire department burned it down. Crews worked Wednesday morning, controlling the temperature of the fire with water to not harm any of the surrounding buildings, some only feet away from the house. No one had been living in the house for years, fire officials said.

The property was far beyond my expectations. Very affordable and comfortable with all you need during your stay (including a blender for cocktails). Being close to the airport, the planes were noticeable but did not deter from our amazing stay at this beautiful home. We enjoyed many evenings on the beautiful deck with a cocktail in hand. Would highly recommend and would stay there again in an instant.

out of control
Wednesday, October 07, 2009
I did finish one long-overdue baby gift, and shipped it back East a little while ago. It's the Bookworm Sweater from Miss Bea's Rainy Day (a theme!) by Louisa Harding. I adore this entire series of small books, and love the classic styles of the patterns.
The yarn is my favorite Lion Brand Cotton-Ease, in cherry red, sadly discontinued. Something odd happened when putting in the sleeves, and I hope that it doesn't make the sweater uncomfortable to wear. It's a touch bunchy under the arms, but I hope the lovely cables make up for it.
*As Hubby dropped me off at work today, I asked if he thought IT would happen today. He said no. I have a feeling we are going to repeat this conversation over and over and over again.

Monday, August 10, 2009
where have you gone, joe dimaggio?
1. Traveling to Japan
2. Climbing Mount Hood
3. Drinking cocktails
4. Eating raw oysters and sushi
What I Have Been Doing
1. Buying a house
2. Packing up stuff and moving and unpacking
3. Knitting tiny bits
4. Growing a baby (see #3 and #4 above)
Hubby, it should be noted, has been highly involved with What I Have Been Doing, #1, #2, and #4, although the "growing" in the last one has primarily my responsibility. I would really like to be drinking cocktails, especially now that I have a nice backyard and table, and it's gin and tonic season; but as that is not allowed in my current condition, the bottles are still packed in the basement. I would also really love a spicy tuna roll with cucumber in brown rice and a half dozen oysters. But enough about the food I can't eat. (I could go on.)
We have a house that is lovely, and in a great neighborhood that is closer to work, so my commuting knitting time has been reduced. But I did finish some socks a few months ago!
This past weekend was the Sock Summit in Portland, and I am so lame that I did not register for a single class. I did go to the Marketplace and shopped for two hours, and bought more yarn than I have all year. (I have not bought much yarn at all.) It was very entertaining to hear about the declaration that last week was Sock Knitting Week in Portland, see lace shawls on the shoulders of people all over town, and have a nearly full-page, front-page article on the summit in the paper today.
As I start to slow down, thanks to my passenger, I think I will be knitting more. I have lots of ideas...
Sunday, March 15, 2009
Hubby has been visiting New York for a few days, and I've been hearing a near-continual refrain: where's the blog? Where's the knitting? And the cocktails? Well, there just hasn't been much of any of that lately. But I currently have some motivation to work on a new project - a baby blanket - for a little girl who is going to turn 1 before I know it. I don't think that the wedding "you get a year" rule counts for babies, and I'm heartily ashamed. But knitting on size 13 needles is fun, and working on some massive lace is pretty entertaining company while I'm watching the World Baseball Classic.
This afternoon I walked to the store to return a video rental, and the weather was typically Portland: windy and rainy on the way there, then sunny and sort of rainy on the way back. But there was a huge rainbow in the sky, and you can never see too many of those. So, did you miss me?

tangled up
I have swatched successfully - just two off on the row gauge, which is plenty fine with me - and WASHED Mlle. Swatch as well.
This is a highly important step in gauge-swatch-making, which I've never done before. I learned my lesson might well on my very last adult sweater project: washing the swatch is really super-duper important, because otherwise you might get a sweater that grows in water like nothing you have ever seen. (And no one else has seen the sweater either, because I put it on, cried, lifted the hem from around my knees, and folded it up and stashed it away in the cedar chest.)
So: I've knit a swatch, achieved gauge, washed the swatch, still been pleased with size of swatch, and now need to cast on somewhere around 200 stitches. That's a lot, and will likely be on hold until the weekend when I can sit and do it all at once. And then the knitting begins: a me-sized sweater on #4 needles. I might be nutso on this one, because that's a lot of stitches. But in finishing the sweater, I'll knock over a mile off my stashed yarn total. (Yes, I count my yarn in miles.)

warming hubby's feet
Fun colors - just enough to keep things interesting, but very suitable for Hubby socks. It's Brown Sheep Wildfoote yarn, in Brown Sugar. One skein had flecks of green, but the other did not... even though they were the same dye lot. The second skein also had different patterning than the first, and I think you can see the difference between the two. But they are socks, and I think that they came out well enough. The yarn had been marinating in my stash since December 2006, and it was high time for it to get knit up.
(Post #2 of the week! I'm gonna do it!)

tap, tap: anyone there?
The mornings are relatively chilly here in Portland, usually hovering just above freezing. My double-thick wool mittens aren't really necessary, nor are the polarfleece gloves, since I'm just walking and waiting for a bus. These mittens (Ann Budd's book of knitting patterns) are thin, but provide just enough warmth and coverage. They fit easily into my pockets when I get on the bus, and I'm quite happy with how they turned out.
I think I started them over a year ago, and got as far as the ribbing, and a couple of thumb gusset increases. They were so quick to make that I felt rather silly having them hang around as long as they did. The yarn is Diakeito Diamusee Fine - a Japanese import - and the color changes are subtle enjoyable to watch while it moves through your fingers. I got the yarn years ago in Cold Spring, NY at a shop that's sadly closed.
OK: I will pledge to post each day this week. There's actually a lot of knitting progress to show, s here goes!

Through the windows of Isla Vista Bookstore, Dennis Tokumaru watched the seaside college town morph from a hotbed of antiestablishment rioters and draft dodgers into a nest of more serious young adults studying at adjacent UC Santa Barbara. There's still a lot of partying these days, he said, but not as much as in 1965 when the store opened and he started working there part-time, selling used textbooks and course literature to students who couldn't or wouldn't pay for new editions.

Isla Vista Bookstore Closing
A week ago, after more than 47 years at 6553 Pardall Road — the last 27 as owner and operator — Tokumaru closed his doors for the final time. Put out of business like so many other brick-and-mortar bookstores by Amazon.com and other online marketplaces, Isla Vista Bookstore slowly petered out over the last few years as the economy tanked and students increasingly bought and sold their books to each other on the Internet.
Tokumaru said he couldn't find a buyer for the business, so he had no choice but to simply close up shop. The building was constructed in 1965 to the specifications of the bookstore's original founder John Sakurai, and at least 12 other I.V. book-selling businesses have come and gone in that time. By carrying a full lineup of course textbooks, novels, and school supplies every quarter, Tokumaru explained, his shop had the advantage over the others that would cherry pick only a few specific texts.
As Isla Vista's residents have changed character over the decades, so has the town's commercial landscape. "There are a lot more restaurants now than there were," Tokumaru said, remembering a slot car track and family pool hall that used to exist down the road. "There are just so many places to eat."
Speaking of which, a manager with I.V. Deli Mart said his 11-year-old business is eyeing Tokumaru's old digs but needs to work out lease details with James L. Ventura Enterprises, which owns the building along with a number of other Isla Vista properties. The space's monthly rent, said the manager, is $10,000. If all goes according to the tentative plans, SBPrinter.com, which occupies a small slice of Isla Vista Bookstore, would shift into the I.V. Deli Mart location if and when the deli moves to Tokumaru's old place.
Tokumaru said his customers are disappointed to see him go, but thankful for all his years of service. "They've been so kind," he said. "We've had so many well-wishes — it's been very uplifting. I'm just sad we won't be able to serve them anymore." Tokumaru said he had to let go four full-time employees — one who'd worked at the store for more than 30 years — and a number of part-time student workers. "I started out as a part-time worker, so I know how helpful it is to have a job like that," he said of the store's long-running practice of hiring college-agers.
On how he'll spend his new free time in the days and years ahead, Tokumaru admitted, "I have no idea what I'm going to do. After working at a business you own for so long, it becomes your job and your hobby. Right now, I don't have any other hobbies." He said he'll figure it out, but in the meantime he will keep rooting for the economy to recover so small businesses like the one he used to own can stay alive and thrive as they once did.

Simple Sophisticate: Aquascutum
Pronounced ak-wuh skyoo-tuhm (1) (2) and Latin for water shield, this luxury label was originally established circa 1851 in England for outerwear that is fondly known today as the trench coat. As a perfect example of their "Understated British Elegance" this simple white blouse with a bishop sleeve & fitted cuff has been tastefully paired with the plaid tab front slim pants for their Fall 2009 collection(3) (4). This is an ideal look for doing lunch with other sophisticates.

Submitted by Arthur - N1ORC with previous permission of the Houston Chronicle http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/space/1827053 March 20, 2003, 8:44AM Iraq disagreement won't sour space station alliance By PATTY REINERT Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle Washington Bureau WASHINGTON -- Russia's refusal to back the U.S.-led war on Iraq may have created tensions on Earth, but in space, the two countries are determined to remain comrades. The fate of the international space station depends on it. Next week, NASA and its 15 partners in the project are expected to name the Russian and American astronauts who will fly to the station in April aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. The current crew, two Americans and a Russian, will use a Soyuz already docked at the station as a lifeboat home. A similar exchange is tentatively scheduled for the fall. What happens beyond that -- and who will pay for it -- has yet to be decided, however. "It is very difficult to find this money," said Grygory Osibov, a representative of the Russian Aviation and Space Agency who is based at Houston's Johnson Space Center. "But we have worked together many, many years. We are very familiar, and we are friends." In recent weeks, that friendship has been tested as President Bush leaned on Russian President Vladimir Putin to support his effort to win United Nations backing to use military force to disarm Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. In the end, the issue became moot because the United States and its allies decided to withdraw their U.N. resolution and proceed with the war on their own. On Wednesday, one day after Bush informed the nation, he telephoned Putin to smooth things over. "The two openly acknowledged that they don't see eye-to-eye on whether or not force should be used to disarm Saddam Hussein," said White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. "But the two of them in the phone call did stress to each other the importance of maintaining good U.S.-Russia relations, and they both expressed confidence that it would, indeed, happen." The U.S.-Russia alliance is key to the success of the $100 billion space station because the two countries are the only ones able to ferry staff and supplies to the orbiting outpost. When Columbia disintegrated over Texas on Feb. 1, killing all seven astronauts aboard, the remaining three shuttles were grounded, temporarily stranding Kenneth Bowersox, Donald Pettit and Nikolai Budarin on the station. Russia quickly restocked the station as planned and agreed to bring the three home and replace them with two caretakers this spring. European partners in the project said they would honor their financial commitments this year, even though their astronauts will have to give up their seats on upcoming flights to allow a continuous presence of Russians and Americans aboard the station. But the financially strapped Russians have complained that they need about $100 million -- soon -- if they are to produce additional Progress vehicles. The unmanned spacecraft will supply the station with water, groceries and other essentials until investigators figure out what went wrong on Columbia and shuttles resume flying. NASA spokeswoman Debbie Rahn said progress is being made, but "we still don't have everything." "The partners are looking at how many additional vehicles will be needed, and the funding is still under discussion," she said, adding that U.S. representatives will travel to the Netherlands this weekend to meet with Russian and European partners. Rahn said that despite Vershbow's comments, she is unaware of any directive from the White House or State Department that would change the way NASA approaches those discussions. "NASA doesn't set foreign policy," she said, "but we have a good working relationship with our Russian space partners. We have a long-term agreement to with all partners to pursue the space station program, and we're continuing our discussions." ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

Great purchase
Your review: I was in need for this recycle bin and looked at several companies. All the other companies that I looked at had basically the same bin for a much more expensive cost. One company priced theirs at 300% more
Pros: Great container at a very reasonable price
Cons: The container should be made with a blank white space so the home owner can write their address in case it gets blown away
Good Tote - Best price
Your review: When our local recycler decided to smash our tote buy continuing tossing it down on the driveway at every pickup (he really must love his job), I decided it was unsalvageable. I first checked with my City office to see if they would replace it. Yes, but at a cost over $50.! So, I hunted and read reviews online. Global had the best price and a good track record on reviews. Shipping was quick and I am very satisfied with the quality of the tote. It has survived the acid test of MN cold and rough handling recyclers. So far... so good.
Great bins!
Your review: I've ordered quite a few of these from Global since they're cheaper in small quantities than from the manufacturer. Also, the manufacturer is in Canada and will destroy you on shipping small quantities. Buy these from Global and save both ways. My only suggestion to Global is to begin stocking the associated lids from the same manufacturer.

DAVIE — The oldest western city in Broward County may have taken a turn toward sophistication.
Though some might have expected Town Administrator Irv Rosenbaum to greet new council members with such classic Wild, Wild West remedies as Coors beer or shots of Jack Daniels, they were honored with champagne, crackers and cheese at a reception preceding the Town Council meeting Wednesday night.
The town welcomed newly elected council member Frank Cannata and Councilwoman Betty Roberts, who ran unopposed, with a touch of class.
``It`s a touch of sophistication for Davie,`` said Rosenbaum, who has served as chief executive of the 50-year-old town for five years. ``Davie is a very cosmopolitan community.
``It just shows you that the west tradition of Davie exists side by side with modern state of the art technology devices that run through the town,`` said Rosenbaum, referring to the town`s $100,000 computer system.
Before the new town office building opened last year, Rosenbaum said cocktail receptions were held once a year for incoming council members privately in his office.
``We`re not only cowboys, ranchers and rodeos,`` he said. ``The western theme is part of the town. But we also are proud of our diverse housing in which we have public housing to million-dollar homes.``
After the reception, council members moved to their chambers, where they unanimously voted to retain Mayor Bud Jenkins for another year. ``I`d do anything for this town,`` said Jenkins, 52. ``The future of this town is unreal.``

Is your wallet too fat? Take Ripped Muscle X, the wallet-slimming supplement, and never be teased about that unsightly back-pocket bulge again!
Here's how it works:
- You get an offer of a free trial sample. Woohoo! What's free any more these days?
- So of course you give the seller your credit card number, to cover shipping and handling of your free trial sample.
- A month later, you see a transaction on your credit card statement that you didn't authorize. Surprise! You've subscribed to an infinite number of bottles of Ripped Muscle X, to be delivered monthly forever.
Customers have complained that they weren't told that by accepting the sample they implicitly agreed to the subscription. But, technically, they were. It's all explained in the Trial Sale Terms And Conditions document that opens if you click on the tiny link in the bottom left corner of the Ripped Muscle X web page.
- You give up your right to go to court or join a class action.
- They can take your money before "accepting" your order. They only accept your order when they ship it.
- Your "purchase" of a free trial bottle implicitly begins a monthly subscription. This subscription is automatically charged to your card unless you cancel it within 14 days of the date you ordered the trial (not the date you received your sample!).
- The trial is free, not the sample. If you haven't returned it within the 14-day period, during a large part of which it was probably rattling around in some USPS truck, you implicitly, automatically purchase the sample for $87, the same price as you'll be charged each month for your subscription.
- There is no warranty on the product, nor any guarantee that it's suitable for any use.
- If you reverse a charge on your credit card, this is "theft" and NSA ninja-spooks will follow your trail of URLs back to your door. (Okay, I might have elaborated this last term. I'm just trying to make Terms and Conditions fun!)
But, the scammers don't seem to be selling it right now. In my last installment, re: our friends in Del Mar, CA doing business as Elite Test 360 / Ripped Muscle X, I tried to go to the Ripped Muscle X Order Form, only to be diverted to a website for a different supplement. I checked several other body-building supplement websites. They either had Ripped Muscle X locked up or were diverting sales prospects to other supplements. Ripped Muscle X has their website locked down, displaying this notice:
But it's not over. You'll find the same implicit-subscription, credit-card-suck game lurking behind offers of many other free supplement trials. If you look.

Simeon II
Simeon II, Simeon Borisov Sakskoburggotski, or Simeon Borisov Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, 1937–, czar (1943–46) and premier (2001–5) of Bulgaria. He succeeded his father, Boris III , under a regency. After the occupation (1944) of Bulgaria by Russian forces he remained nominal ruler under a new council of regents. In 1946 a plebiscite abolished the monarchy, and Simeon went into exile in Spain. He visited Bulgaria several times after 1996. Returning home in Apr., 2001, he founded a political party that won half the parliamentary seats in June, 2001, and he became Bulgaria's premier. As premier he has instituted economic reforms and worked to secure Bulgaria's admission into NATO and the European Union. Losses in the 2005 elections forced his resignation and led his party to become a junior partner in a coalition with the Socialists he resigned as party leader in 2009 after the party failed to win any parliamentary seats.

There has been a fair bit of palaver in the newspapers since Opra issued guidance regarding the payment of transfer values from final-salary pension schemes. What's it all about?
The rules governing the way that pension transfers are calculated and paid have not changed since the Pensions Act 1995 came into effect and allowed trustees to take account of the funding position of the pension scheme when paying out pension transfers.
This is fine but does not address the problem that occurs where a scheme was found to be OK at its last MOT (minimum funding requirement valuation) but things have worsened since.
So, allowing trustees to reduce transfer values because schemes used to be in a bad way, but not if they are currently in difficulty, turns out to be about as much use to some trustees as a banjo player would have been to Beethoven.
What we have seen ever since has been some people taking the full cash value of their full entitlement when transferring out, even if the scheme's funding position has deteriorated. This is bad news for those left in the scheme.
An amendment is currently going through the consultation process. The idea is that trustees will not just be allowed to adjust transfer values to take account of the last health check but will also be able to take account of the scheme's ability to pay full transfer values for all members at any time.
This means transfer values will be able to be reduced if there are not enough funds to pay full transfer values to all members, even if the last scheme valuation said everything was OK. This makes a bit more sense, in my opinion, as it will allow trustees to work in real time rather than just from a scheme snapshot taken at some point in the past. Their proper job, after all, is to act at all times in the best interests of all the scheme members.
However, these changes will not be in place for some time yet, some say the summer at the earliest, and many schemes' funding positions will clearly have worsened.
This is where Opra has come in. It is relaxing the requirement for trustees to issue guaranteed transfer values until these new regulations come into force as long as they are acting on the advice of the scheme's actuary.
Opra says trustees should consider a number of things before taking action to suspend the quoting of transfer values. As well as acting on actuarial advice, they are advised to consider obtaining legal advice. After that, they are encouraged to look at alternatives which would make paying transfer values possible without acting against the interests of other members. This could possibly be done by the employer making additional contributions to the scheme, for example.
If, having taken all these steps, trustees do decide to stop making transfer payments for a while, they are required to tell people why their transfer value requests are being delayed and what steps they are taking to ensure availability of a transfer value as soon as is reasonably practical.
This seems quite a big step for trustees to take and I doubt it will lead to the wholesale shutting down of the market for pension transfers that many seem to fear. It may mean some schemes will stop quoting new transfer values for a few months but that will be temporary and, presumably, some people who may have been considering transferring will just have to wait a little longer.
Anyone who was in the process of transferring before this announcement is not affected and their transfer value quote will have a six-month shelf life.
In the short term, transfer values offered by some pension schemes may be lower than would have been the case but we already knew that would be the effect of the proposed amendments. In my opinion, it is in line with the spirit of the 1995 Pensions Act, anyway.
Over time, this may lead to some people staying put in their existing scheme until general economic conditions make transferring more attractive for them. The transfer value market may become more lumpy and be tied more closely to other economic factors but we have always known that was the way things were likely to go, so I don't think we should find it all that surprising.
I don't think all of us running around in headless chicken mode is justified. It is not the end of pension transfers.

Dangerous Days
Clients often wonder – why did their partner not want to get together with them on their birthday or any other major celebrations for that matter. The following is a reminder of the differences between the sexes, and the way we view and act on special events.
I would like to cite these major days of 'danger' when asking your love interest or paramour out, because it could significantly damage your relationship if the person doesn't agree to it. I have found that these particular days of expectation are the main triggers for many of my client's dating dilemmas, regardless of their feelings.
The main days to avoid making dates with your loved one in order of volatility are:
Birthdays – please do not expect this special day to be reserved for you. It may be depressing for the person having the birthday and possibly a marker for another loss.
Valentine's Day – men usually avoid this day ceremoniously, both for finding it cheesy and for there being too much anticipation placed on a future through marketing of this day. I usually see a lot of break-ups occurring around this time of year. Uzbekistan asked for a ban on romantic marketing last year preferring instead to laud its poets.
Christmas and religious festivities – this is a case by case basis. It depends on the religion, but I would have to say these are not great for kindling and stoking romance.
New Year's Day – This is the one day one doesn't want to screw up.
Friday and Saturday nights – not officially anyway.
Anniversary of a passing – this can cause anxiety until they know you well enough. Some people may not want the 'support'.
A funeral – you are not that special to be accompanying someone to a grief event, unless you are really formally exclusive.
The sleep-over – this long awaited event is the deal maker or breaker. Look out for immediate snuggling and overnighting as being the more possible hallmark of a long lasting relationship. If it has to be arranged, there could be a problem.
Events that can be noted as casual and acceptable celebrations can be:
Public holidays – such as July 4th or Memorial Day weekend or Thanksgiving. These holidays can be termed as 'excuses for a day off' and can be quite fun in a casual way as everyone is out.
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings – it's very un-desperate to get together on the spur of the moment on these nights.
A friend's wedding – without the bachelor party.
A live event – self-explanatory and anonymous.
Brunch – that's like fitting someone in for a social catch-up and can be quite casual.
I cannot bunch everyone into this category and I see some people are more relaxed than others, though I would venture to say most men feel deeply uncomfortable offering up a certain approximate time of 2 weeks per year that could be deemed as precarious.
I of course am on the venerable search, as are you, for people who don't care too much about these things – with the exception of birthdays being the obvious touchy point for most people. A call usually suffices, a quick check-in to see she or he is well, with a nebulous promise for a visit within three days is good enough for many of us, so no pressure is appreciated, and a present is welcome if possible.
Men need to understand we like to give gifts to everyone, not just them and they would not panic as much when we do. All in all – these simple time constraint courtesies are appreciated by most, regardless of gender.

What a terrific blog Carmen. Women would really take a load off if they didn't set themselves up for disappointment with expectations on these occasions !

text: A very interesting program that allows you to reduce the size of MP3 files, without degrading the sound quality. The principle of operation is that the utility converts CBR files (constant bitrate) to VBR (variable bitrate), placing data from each frame into a frame of the smallest possible size. So, for example, in CBR mode, the frame completely composed of silence is given a bitrate of 320 kb/s, and in VBR mode the minimum bitrate is 32 kb/s. The most effective program works with high bitrates (for example, MP3 320 kb/s). On average, the size of files is reduced by 5-7%, for unsaturated compositions (classic, jazz) it will be up to 30%. The program has a simple and intuitive interface. You just need to drag and drop your mp3 files into the program window and wait until the end for the compressed result.

MIB urges industry to buck up on implementing TV ratings
NEW DELHI: There has been some hue and cry about the manner in which the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB) has apparently rushed to notify the latest policy guidelines for TV ratings. Following the notification, there have been fears that unless TAM goes to court and gets a stay order on the MIB?s guidelines, industry will most likely be without TV ratings for at least six to seven months. This is because Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) states that it will be ready to roll out its ratings only in the third or fourth quarter of 2014.
This has alarmed professionals such as Madison chairman Sam Balsara who has gone on record to state that the industry should plead with the Ministry to delay the implementation of the guidelines, and that the industry cannot do with a TV ratings-dark period.
MIB officials are pretty clear that this time it is for real. Says a senior Ministry official: ?The entire TV ratings shouting match has been going on since 2007. Industry has been complaining that TAM?s methodology is flawed, and they have done nothing about it over the years. And the murmurings against it have been going on for more than a decade.?
He goes on to add, that MIB intervened only on the industry?s insistence and now the industry will have to drink its bitter dose of medicine, no matter what.
?We have given the industry and TAM enough time to rectify the situation and find an amicable authentic and reliable solution,? says another MIB official. ?The Amit Mitra committee report indicated what needs to be done way back n 2010. Why wasn?t it followed and why were corrective steps not taken by TAM or the industry? TAM will have to follow the guidelines and register with us before 30 days are up, otherwise cease operating. We are not against individuals or companies; we are clear that a due process and the rules for TV ratings need to be followed so that transparency and credibility are associated with TV viewership ratings.?
In fact, another MIB official was quite critical of the industry-backed TV ratings body BARC too.
?It?s taken them three years to get here,? the senior official says. ?First, BARC told us that the ratings will be up and running by June 2013, then they told us they would do so by March 2014, and now they are saying September or October 2014. This is simply not acceptable. We timed our rules and regulations based on the fact that BARC would be up by March 2014 and that industry would not have to be troubled by the absence of ratings.?
Another senior official appeals that the MIB cannot keep waiting forever for industry to get its act together. ?The industry has been dragging its heels for a long time on the TV ratings issue. Now is the time for it to sprint to the finish line, and faster than ever before,? he says. The longer it takes to get its ratings going, the longer it will be without ratings.?
The fact that TAM Media might challenge the Ministry?s notification in court has not disturbed the MIB at all. ?If it goes to court, we will fight it tooth and nail,? says the MIB official. ?Industry has to understand, the MIB means business. Let industry also be serious about its business.?
?It?s strange, isn?t it?? another official asks rhetorically with a smile on his face. ?Industry complains when the ratings are there; they are complaining now that the ratings will not be there for some time. Let it realise that indeed there will be no ratings for a while and come up with a workable solution in their absence which works well for broadcasters, advertisers and agencies. The ball is in industry?s court now. ?


text: This sign placed under rulership of Jupiter endows you with an expansive nature based on joy in life and cheerfulness. You are an idealist, and you attach importance to spiritual life and philosophy. Your views on justice are strongly tinged with tolerance. You naturally respect other people's opinions and you are sociable. Therefore, you easily become integrated into community life; you respect order and established customs. Yet, you have a traveller's or adventurer's spirit, looking for exoticism and the unknown and longing for freedom, movement and the open air. You are synthetical-minded and have outstanding gifts for philosophy and the study of social phenomena. You are quick and alert, and you astonish others with how fast and accurately you are able to make a judgement. You are also methodical and able to coordinate your knowledge, which in some cases gives you teaching abilities. In romance, you are generous and deeply sincere; you could neither conceal nor feign your feelings. Your emotions and the impulses of your heart are enthusiastic, sometimes even irrational. You respect the personality and independence of those sharing your life, which explains that you mostly experience union in a positive way. You are a jolly fellow, both frank and loyal, and you easily inspire confidence. You have an unusual ability for listening to people, and the soundness of your advice is greatly appreciated (in fact, you keep your fears hidden not to worry others). As a result of the above-described qualities, your circle of friends is wide, which makes for an easy social rise. Your gambler's disposition could push you on towards adventure and the need to discover new horizons. You cannot stand ordinariness, so you need freedom of action and space to materialize your ambitions. You do particularly well in occupations involving responsibilities. You must attach special importance to trips (sometimes inward) and foreign countries; their influence might weigh heavily on your destiny.

|This book gives a lot of ideas on how to instill Christian values and faith in your child in subtle but effective ways. Moreover, it would also help you create and maintain a positive and loving relationship with your child. What I really appreciate about this book is that it shows how you can influence your child during your everyday life at home or outside and at almost every occasion, without sounding like you're preaching. It includes topics like: when getting up, when your child wants to help, going to church, spring, summer, moving to a new home, death of a pet, and a lot more. You might want to read one topic at a time until you have applied and adapted your own style and personality. It also includes a scripture that you can talk about for each topic.
This is a very good material for every Christian parent.

Life would suck if you look like Saddam Hussein. Life would really suck if an Iraqi gang tried to kidnap you to star in a porno as Saddam Hussein. That's what happened to Egyptian man Mohamed Bishr (above), who was offered $330,000 by a group of Iraqi's to star as the now-executed dictator. Bishr turned down the offer, and soon after received threatening calls strongly suggesting he reconsider. Still saying no, several hooded men kidnapped him from his car and threw him in their van. After a short screaming match between the hooded men, however, they threw him out.
Luckily Bishr was unharmed, but it does raise the question: What were these men arguing about?
A) Kidnapping a Saddam Hussein lookalike?
B) Kidnapping a Saddam Hussein lookalike for porno?
C) Kidnapping the wrong Saddam Hussein lookalike?
D) All of the above
