This is a better place for a follow-up for my post from yesterday .
I intend to pull this thread to report how I manage with my oblivion by the forum's database.
This happens to be more unsettling than I expected at first. I definitely wont let this remain unexplained but as I don't want to let this subject mix up with the more relevant topics discussed in other threads, I will use this one as a garbage can.
I inserted a poll to collect opinions on whether I should speak further about this or not. I think that this is good way to know if these posts are not welcome here.
I will elaborate on this when I feel like I have something to share.
I will make sure to make these posts either pure anger, genuine paranoia or vicious humor-attack as far as I can judge.
More seriously, I will investigate the technical issue with our site admin. If it appears that the problem was pure accident, I will have to withdraw my fantasy but then I will miss an excuse to assert my claims against evil.
Note that associated poll can be triggered only once by the same member.

Last May, as a battle was heating up between Internet companies and Hollywood over how to stop online piracy, a top entertainment industry lobbyist landed a meeting at the White House with one of President Obama's technology advisers.
The lobbyist did not get there by himself.
He was accompanied by Antoinette C. Bush, a well-connected Washington lawyer who has represented companies like Viacom, Sony and News Corporation for 30 years. A friend of the president and a cousin of his close aide Valerie B. Jarrett, Ms. Bush has been to the White House at least nine times during his term, taking lobbyists along on a few occasions, joining an invitation-only forum about intellectual property, and making social visits with influential friends.
At the same time, she and her husband, Dwight, have donated heavily to the president's re-election effort: Mr. Bush gave $35,800 on the day of his wife's White House meeting last year, and Ms. Bush contributed the same amount a month later. In November, they hosted a $17,900-a-plate fund-raiser at their home, where Mr. Obama complained that the nation's capital should be more "responsive to the needs of people, not the needs of special interests."
"That is probably the biggest piece of business that remains unfinished," the president said, as about 45 guests dined under a backyard tent.
Although Mr. Obama has made a point of not accepting contributions from registered lobbyists, a review of campaign donations and White House visitor logs shows that special interests have had little trouble making themselves heard. Many of the president's biggest donors, while not lobbyists, took lobbyists with them to the White House, while others performed essentially the same function on their visits.
More broadly, the review showed that those who donated the most to Mr. Obama and the Democratic Party since he started running for president were far more likely to visit the White House than others. Among donors who gave $30,000 or less, about 20 percent visited the White House, according to a New York Times analysis that matched names in the visitor logs with donor records. But among those who donated $100,000 or more, the figure rises to about 75 percent. Approximately two-thirds of the president's top fund-raisers in the 2008 campaign visited the White House at least once, some of them numerous times.
The reasons someone might have gained access to the White House and made a donation are wide-ranging, and it is clear that in some cases the administration came down against the policies being sought by the visitors. But the regular appearance of big donors inside the White House underscores how political contributions continue to lubricate many of the interactions between officials and their guests, if for no other reason than that donors view the money as useful for getting a foot in the door.
Timing of Donations
Some of the donors had no previous record of giving to the president or his party, or of making donations of such magnitude, so their gifts, sometimes given in close proximity to meetings, raise questions about whether they came with expectations of access or were expressions of gratitude.
Dr. William C. Mohlenbrock, chairman of a health care data analysis firm, Verras Ltd., gave occasionally to political candidates over the years, mostly small amounts to Republicans. But last May he contributed the maximum allowable gift, $35,800, to the Obama Victory Fund, which benefits the president's campaign and the Democratic Party. Later in the year, with help from a Democratic consultant, he landed a meeting with a top White House aide involved in the health care overhaul, but failed to persuade Medicare officials to require more health data collection as part of the new regulations.
Joe E. Kiani, who heads a medical device company, Masimo Corporation, stepped up his giving to Democrats last year as medical device makers campaigned unsuccessfully for the repeal of an excise tax imposed on the industry. Mr. Kiani had several meetings with White House officials last year, including two with lobbyists from his company and another with representatives from his industry's trade association. In the midst of these gatherings, he donated $35,800 to the victory fund.
Administration officials insisted that donations do not factor into White House visits, and they cited steps taken to curb the influence of money in politics, including a ban on executive branch employees' accepting gifts from lobbyists and on appointees' lobbying the White House after they leave. Eric Schultz, a White House spokesman, pointed out that Mr. Obama was the first president to release the visitor logs regularly, and added that "being a supporter of the president does not secure you a visit to the White House, nor does it preclude you from one."
"The people selected for this article are contributors to the president," Mr. Schultz said, "but this article excludes the thousands of people who visit the White House every week for meetings and events who did not contribute to the president, many of whom may not have even supported the president."
'How This Business Works'
Most donors, including Dr. Mohlenbrock and Mr. Kiani, declined to talk about their motivations for giving. But Patrick J. Kennedy, the former representative from Rhode Island, who donated $35,800 to an Obama re-election fund last fall while seeking administration support for a nonprofit venture, said contributions were simply a part of "how this business works."
"If you want to call it 'quid pro quo,' fine," he said. "At the end of the day, I want to make sure I do my part."
Mr. Kennedy visited the White House several times to win support for One Mind for Research, his initiative to help develop new treatments for brain disorders. While his family name and connections are clearly influential, he said, he knows White House officials are busy. And as a former chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, he said he was keenly aware of the political realities they face.
"I know that they look at the reports," he said, referring to records of campaign donations. "They're my friends anyway, but it won't hurt when I ask them for a favor if they don't see me as a slouch."
Others, like Ms. Bush, rejected the notion that their donations were tied to access. Her husband said it was a coincidence that his contribution last May — made at a Democratic fund-raiser — came on the same day his wife was at the White House. And Ms. Bush noted that most of her meetings occurred before she made her donation in June. She added that as a longtime lawyer with the firm Skadden Arps, it should not be surprising that her work would occasionally take her to the White House.
"Communications law is what I do for a living," Ms. Bush said. "Yes, I'm an Obama supporter, but in the end I'm a communications law expert. I had the same clients in the Bush administration as well as the Obama administration."
Although those in office invariably deny it, the notion that access is available at a price is a well-founded reality of Washington. Memorably, President Nixon was caught on tape remarking that $250,000 should be the minimum donation for an ambassadorship. The Clinton White House offered major donors coffees with the president or sleepovers in the Lincoln Bedroom. More recently, Republicans in Congress have raised questions about whether Democratic donors who invested in the solar energy company Solyndra and other troubled firms influenced the administration's support of those businesses, pointing to White House visits and other official contacts. The administration denies there was any wrongdoing.
At a minimum, it is standard for administrations to recognize generous supporters with sought-after invitations to special events. The Obama White House logs are filled with the names of donors welcomed for St. Patrick's Day receptions, Super Bowl parties and concerts. Last year, several major Democratic donors rounded out the guest list for a film screening with the first lady.
But in addition to social events, business is also carried out in the White House and its executive offices. The logs suggest some Obama fund-raisers and donors have been trafficking in ties they forged to the administration, helping clients get a seat at the table.
When Los Angeles officials wanted White House backing for a program that would speed up local transit projects, they turned last spring to a California political operative, Kerman Maddox, a top Obama fund-raiser and party donor. "We thought he could help our outreach in Washington," said Richard Leahy, chief executive of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
In an internal memo justifying Mr. Maddox's hiring, the authority wrote that he had "direct access to the Executive Oval Office" and cited his position on the Obama campaign's National Finance Committee. Mr. Maddox's company Web site prominently features photographs of him with the Obamas.
One day after the authority signed off on his contract, Mr. Maddox made a $10,000 donation to the Obama re-election effort; he donated an additional $6,000 in June. In August, Mr. Maddox landed a meeting for himself and the authority officials with Melody Barnes, then director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, one of several meetings the officials were able to get.
The administration had previously been supportive of Los Angeles County's efforts to accelerate its transit projects, but the following month, Mr. Obama also announced, as part of his jobs package, a proposal to significantly expand a Transportation Department loan program. The plan, which has drawn bipartisan support, is something Mr. Maddox's clients had sought. Mr. Maddox, soon donated an additional $11,250 to the victory fund. He said in an e-mail that his donations were tied to fund-raising events and had nothing to do with visiting the White House.
Navigating Washington
Noah Mamet, another veteran Democratic fund-raiser and consultant, emphasizes on his firm's Web site that he and his partners "are not lobbyists." Instead, they help their clients "strategically navigate the worlds of politics, philanthropy and business." Mr. Mamet, who donated $35,800 last year, and his partners have visited the Obama White House more than a dozen times, including at least four occasions on which they accompanied clients to meetings with administration officials. Mr. Mamet declined to comment.
Lamell McMorris, a Chicago native and longtime Obama supporter who appears in White House visitor logs 20 times, runs a Washington consulting firm that, as recently as last year, was registered to lobby. He also operates a sports management company, and has taken clients like the football player Cam Newton and the New Jersey Nets guard Anthony Morrow to the White House for private tours. Mr. McMorris did not reply to requests for comment.
With many of these meetings, it is often difficult to discern what exactly was being discussed. Clues can sometimes be gleaned by looking at the positions and interests of other attendees — who often include lobbyists.
David Beier, who oversees government affairs at the pharmaceutical company Amgen, has had nearly a dozen meetings at the White House, according to the visitor logs. On a single day in February last year, Mr. Beier, Amgen's chief executive, Kevin W. Sharer, and lobbyists from the Podesta Group, the firm led by the Democratic fund-raiser Tony Podesta, had four meetings with top White House officials, including Ms. Jarrett, Pete Rouse and Austan Goolsbee. Mr. Beier — who was registered to lobby for Amgen for 10 years until last year — donated $35,800 in January, his largest such contribution. The donation came two weeks after he and Mr. Podesta visited the White House for another meeting with an economic official.
Amgen declined to comment, but lobbying disclosure reports show that the company hired the Podesta Group to press the White House and Congress on Medicare coverage and reimbursement for drugs for end-stage renal disease, among other issues.
As for Ms. Bush, a former Senate staff member whose stepfather is the Democratic power broker Vernon E. Jordan Jr., she declined to comment on the nature of her visits. But the purpose of some of them can be inferred from the more detailed records of meetings she had around the same time with officials at the Federal Communications Commission. Those agency meetings — some of which included the same Sony and Viacom lobbyists whom she accompanied to the White House — were mostly about shaping regulations to discourage piracy of digital media.
She also helped Viacom fight an F.C.C. complaint that one of its Nickelodeon shows, Zevo-3, was little more than a vehicle for the show's marketing partner, Skechers. Writing to the agency for Viacom, Ms. Bush argued that the cartoon show, which features characters with special powers who previously appeared in Skechers commercials, intentionally distances itself from the footwear Skechers sells.
"In particular," she wrote, "the characters in Zevo-3 do not derive any powers from their shoes, do not go out of their way to refer to their shoes and do not indicate that their shoes bear any relation to their roles on the program."

I saw a lesson plan that had students filling different shaped bottles at a constant rate. The idea was to graph height vs. time to show the students how different shapes would produce different graphs, and especially the idea that most bottles would not produce a linear height vs. time function.
Would it be possible to "design" a bottle as a 3-d shape in Mathematica, and then use integration to animate filling it...?

This post is the third in a series of posts by guest authors sharing their experience with courses offered at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy. Here is the perspective of Melinda Henningfield.
Genealogist work alone. They work in dusty repositories or at home, poring over old documents; gleaning every bit of information and evidence; and analyzing and correlating their evidence into conclusions. They use their own or their clients satisfaction as a measure of their abilities. Sometimes they publish an article, knowing at least the editors and peer reviewers agree with their conclusions. There is no other yardstick for a genealogist to measure their success—until now.
I had the unique opportunity to measure my success against my peers this past January at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy. I took the Advanced Evidence Analysis Practicum course. The instructors were some of the leaders in the genealogy world, Kory Meyerink, BS, MLS, AG, FUGA; Karen Mauer Green, CG; Thomas W. Jones, Ph.D., CG, CGL, FASG, FUGA, FNGS; David Ouimette, CG; and Jim Ison, AG, CG. We were given a series of five problems beginning on Sunday night. We had twenty-two hours to reach a conclusion. In most cases, we could work using the documents provided to us, the internet, or in the Family History Library—conveniently across the street.
The problems were varied and included the U.S. to Germany, the U.S. to England, Illinois and Missouri, the northeastern U.S. to Canada, and South Carolina. In twenty-two hours we had to familiarize ourselves with the available records of the area, write a research plan, research, analyze, correlate, and form conclusions using evidence we had gathered along the way. Sound familiar? The final two hours of each day was spent with our group and the expert instructor. The instructors walked us through their research and their reasoning in reaching their conclusions and we shared our findings if we wished.
This is a unique opportunity in the field of genealogy. You can measure your methods and research capabilities against your peers and against some of the finest genealogists of our time. Don't worry—you can keep how you match up with them to yourself if you want to. You can use this as the educational opportunity of a lifetime. You can use the lessons you will learn—and if you are anything like me, you will learn a lot of lessons—to grow as a genealogist. Don't miss this opportunity. They are offering this course again in 2013. Some of the experts are different, but all are leaders in the field of genealogy. Registration begins on June 2nd.

52 Weeks, 52 Ancestors, Number 5
Ferdinand Hermann Hachez (1818-1874), Bremen to New Holstein
I love chocolate. However, as I set out to research my mother's ancestors, I never expected to find a relative establishing a famous brand of chocolate in Bremen, Germany, in the late 1800s. But I did.
I knew the Hachez surname well as part of our family history, thanks to my mother and grandmother. In fact, the first family surname I ever put into Google was Hachez, along with the Wisconsin town of New Holstein. When I got immediate and relevant results, I was hooked on genealogy.
Most of the settlers of New Holstein in Calumet County, came from the Schleswig-Holstein region of northern Germany, just south of Denmark. But Ferdinand Herman Hachez was distinctive. The 1870 Census shows that he came to from Gem. Bremen, in other words Gemeinde Bremen or Municipality Bremen, located in the Hannover region. Discovering his family and his life took resources in America and Europe, online and off, including the assistance of a skilled genealogist in Germany.
We found that Ferdinand Hermann Hachez was born into the Bremen merchant family, surname Hachez, his parents being Johann Ferdinand Dominikus Hachez and Hermine Constanze Detmers. He was born on 20 Sept 1818 in Celle, Hannover, Germany, according to an old family group sheet and the Bremen local family heritage book held at Die Maus, the Bremen Genealogical Society. He was baptized at Celle on 27 Sep 1818, according to the Kirkenbuch or church book for the Catholic Church in Celle, which is south of Bremen.
The Hachez name is well known in Bremen, due to the chocolate company that exists even today, although the family itself is gone. That fame prompted Hermann Sandkühler to write the article "Schiffe und Schokolade zweimal Joseph Hachez" (Ships and Chocolate Twice Joseph Hachez), available online in German, to explain the family origins in Belgium and arrival in Bremen in 1785. Find the article here. Then put the URL in a free online translation service to read it in English.
Ferdinand, a given name popular in his branch of the Hachez family, appears to have grown up in Bremen but as a young adult turned to agriculture. His 1874 obituary says he first farmed near Bremen, likely family lands, and then managed estates for the nobility in Holstein and Mecklenburg, today in Germany. He must have heard of the excellent farm land to be found near the German settlement of New Holstein. Wisconsin had gained statehood in 1848 and actively promoted immigration to settle its farmlands, forests and towns.
His father Johann Ferdinand Dominikus Hachez died on 23 March 1847 in Bremen, Germany, and his will directed that each of his children was to receive a fair share of his estate as their legacy. This inheritance likely helped Ferdinand Hermann Hachez take his great journey to the New World. About this same time, Ferdinand married a woman named Louise. Where they married or who her ancestors are is unknown. Their son Ferdinand Hachez was born 10 April 1848 somewhere in Holstein, Germany, if the census records are right.
In the summer of 1854, the family of three set sail from Bremen on the vessel Robert, arriving 4 Aug 1854 in New York City, as shown on passenger lists found on Ancestry.com. They set off at once for Wisconsin, arriving in New Holstein that same year, as shown in the book Memories of the First Years of the Settlement of New Holstein, by Rudolph Puchner.
The Hachez family took up farming on land about two miles northeast of the village of New Holstein. The elder Hachez was active in local and agricultural affairs> For example:
> he provided meteorological reports for a few months in 1864 and 1865, as shown the Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, 1874.
> when a local group met in September 1867 to incorporate the New Holstein Turnverin or Turners group, Ferdinand Hachez, father and son, became members
> F. Hachez for several years was president of the German Agricultural Society in New Holstein as seen in Report, Issue 4, by the United States Dept. of Agriculture, 1870.
> Ferdinand Hachez, Sr., Claus Oesau, Sr., of New Holstein and others incorporated the Mutual Hail Insurance Company of Wisconsin, with legislative approval granted on 25 Feb 1870.
About this time, several important changes occurred for the Hachez family. On 3 June 1869, son Ferdinand married Eliese Boie, daughter of Nicholas Boie and Cecilia (Tonner) Boie. By the 1870 Census, Louise Hachez was deceased, although the specific date is not known. And then in 1872, the railroad arrived on the east side of the village of New Holstein, opening new commercial opportunities. The Hachez family ceased farming, and the younger Ferdinand moved into the village to operate the Farmers and Mechanics Saloon on the east end of town.
The elder Ferdinand then went into business selling hail insurance. He moved to another German community – New Ulm, Minnesota – by 1872, according to A comprehensive index to A.T. Andreas' Illustrated historical atlas of Minnesota, 1874. He died there on 10 Aug 1874, and was buried "with a great following to the cemetery. The Turnverin showed last honors 'in copore,' since Hachez had been a member in good standing, " his obituary says.
Ferdinand Hachez, both father and son, experienced the call of commercial enterprise, matching the Hachez family's merchant tradition in Bremen. Oh, and yes, chocolate. Joseph Emile Hachez, a nephew of Ferdinand Herman Hachez, founded Bremer HACHEZ Chocolade GmbH & Co. in Bremen in 1890. Today it is said to be the second largest manufacturer of chocolate in Germany.

Here's a video I captured back in February with my buddy's GoPro camera while surfing my longboard at Tourmaline. This was the exact time the east coast was getting blasted by the worst snowstorms.
This was shot one evening during a beautiful sunset over Del Mar, San Diego. My original aim was to film the sun setting over the ocean with my DJI Phantom 2 drone / quadcopter, but the surfers quickly caught my attention and added to the beauty. This was my first time flying over the ocean and I was captivated by how the surfers, and how the waves and spray were picking up the liquid gold of the sun reflecting in the ocean.
My 4-year-old Son Dane stood up for the first time on a soft top surfboard and it lit a fire with his other two buddies. They all stood up for the first time together. It made for a special day. I'm so glad I had my camera and got out in the water filming these Lil Style Masters for the first time and they all shared it together. Lil Bro's! It stoked me to see how much fun these little guys are having and it stoked the people watching. We now have a Friday mandatory surf session for the little guys.

Having sold hundreds of thousands of brake kits EBC Brakes feel confident their approach is as perfect as it gets.We are of the opinion that slotted rotors have been "Over sold" by certain marketplace participants and our findings are that a slotted rotor will only give benefits if used with a pad that compensates for its reduced surface area. The benefits of degassing and promoting flat and smooth pad wear are a clear plus in favor of sport rotors but the trick is to opt for a matched set of brakes and not to just expect a slotted rotor to improve braking on its own. When used with higher friction EBC Redstuff, Greenstuff or Yellowstuff brake pads these rotors WILL DELIVER better brakes.The different slot pattern of the EBC USR Series has made this range a popular choice for drivers who desire improved sport braking with minimal air noise from the slots. The finer slot pattern is what makes these sport rotors more silent in operation whilst still offering pad degassing and removing dirt dust water and debris from the braking area.Ultra quiet sport slotted brake rotors are manufactured using premium disc blanks, the narrower multi slot design of the Ultimax sport rotor and the progressive angle at which the slots are machined creates a quiet running sport rotor that still has benefits of removing gas, dirt, water and debris and MAINTAINING parallel pad wear.EBC have always been honest enough to say that the biggest advantage of slotted rotors is the fact that they promote flat and parallel pad wear rather than allowing ridges to develop on pads and rotors which is typical of "drilled only" sport rotors. By preventing these ridges brakes stay more consistent throughout pad and rotor wear life.

New York, December 22, 2011--An Indian court has ordered 22 Internet sites to remove content it said promoted hatred and communal disharmony, according to news reports.
On Wednesday, a civil court in Delhi ordered 22 websites--Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook, and smaller ones like Orkut Blogspot, Topix, Exbii, Boardreader, and Zombietime--to remove content it deemed "anti-religious" or "antisocial," news reports said. The court said the sites have until December 24 to comply with the ruling.
The court ruling followed a complaint filed by Mufti Aijaz Qasmi, a Muslim cleric from Delhi, who said the sites' content defamed the Prophet Mohammed, Hindu gods, and other religious figures, according to news reports. In the court ruling, Judge Mukesh Kumar said the content was derogatory to some religious communities, news reports said.
"A court order to take down information from a vast number of websites has large implications for freedom of expression in the world's largest democracy," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program Coordinator. "The court must reverse its ruling, and allow people in India full access to global news and opinion on the websites."
In a December 6 statement, Kapil Sibal, the minister of information technology and communication, said the ministry would begin closer regulation of Internet content, including the pre-screening of material on video-posting websites like YouTube, news reports said. Even though there has been a public backlash to government moves to restrict Web-based criticism, on Thursday Sibal met with 100 leaders of various religious groups who called the websites' content "illegal" and urged him to take further action, news reports said.

Overview of all texts
Noospheric Art
interactive website for P2P people
and other creative psychosocial thinkers
using an integrative approach for
psychological, social and cosmological sciences
Along Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Julian Huxley and the other neo-Darwinists, the cosmic evolution, from the Big Bang up to now, presents nine levels of complexity, which can be grouped into three stages: the
(levels 1 to 5, the "dead" matter, -strings, quarks, particles, atoms, molecules- organised by elementary physical laws), the
(levels 6 to 8, the "living" matter, -eobionts, protozoa, metazoa- organised by genetic codes and active by reflexes), and the
(level 9, the "thinking" matter, -human society- organized by the software of the human brain and active by creative intelligence).
This website aims to become a think-tank for people who want to implement the Noosphere, i.e. to reflect creatively about a better future for humanity by gathering insight into its profound mechanisms. Their scientific tool is the integration technique which allows to yield plausibility out of apparently divergent theories.
The splendid Wikipedia site limits itself to facts of the past and some of the present, excluding all not yet generally accepted concepts. The scientific world tends to limit the qualification of "plausible" to theories that can be calculated and reproduced in the laboratory, de facto excluding innovative psychosocial theories and reliable thoughts about the next stage of human evolution (Teilhard called this the Noosphere). Hence we strongly need a website where plausible and useful ideas about perhaps the most important of all questions -man's happiness in a better future- can be collected, elaborated and shared by the general public and by stimulating creative thinkers.
The technique of
is very well suited to serve as a scientific method for applications where it is (still) impossible to calculate or to experiment. It doesn't yield proofs, but enhances the plausibility of hypotheses to levels comparable with the physical scientific method. Classical philosophers and scientists used this method intuitively. The technique was reintroduced by Hegel with his thesis / antithesis / synthesis theory, and is consciously used by postmodern thinkers from Whitehead to Wilber.
The technique of
integrative communication
is the most essential interaction and thinking procedure between Peer-to-Peer forms of cooperation (p2p), where the rapprochement of individual contributions is considered as largely superior to the traditional method of proof, refutation and choice. This procedure led to applications as Linux, Wikipedia, etc.
At the same time, the integrative method appears to be the best tool to construct a website on such topics.
The texts of this website are logically grouped into
knowledge: 0 generalities on this site, 1 phenomenology, 2 logic, 3 the brain
B. the
: 4 the mind in general, 5 pathological mind, 6 optimal mind
C. groups and
: 7 sociology in general, 8 history and suboptimal functioning, 9 optimal groups
Visitors are invited to add new pages to this site, and to improve existing ones. Apart from the topic, there is only one (relative) condition: an integrative style should, where possible, be used.
Visitors wanting to collaborate may simply blog their comments, suggestions and proposed texts.
If possible and if all qualities are preserved, this website will try to integrate itself with analogous projects and to disappear as a separate project. An earlier and more elaborate

Review Round-Up: 'Talaash' Is a Gripping Find
This week's big Bollywood release "Talaash" (meaning "search") stars three acting heavyweights: Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee.
Mr. Khan plays police inspector Surjan Singh Shekhawat, who is investigating the death of a film star. He and his wife Shreya, played by Ms. Mukherjee, are going through a tough phase after the death of their son. Ms. Kapoor plays a prostitute called Rosie who meets Mr. Shekhawat during the course of his investigation.
Billed as a thriller, "Talaash" also explores the dark side of human emotions, which suggests it isn't a typical commercial Bollywood flick. Director Reema Kagti, however, thinks otherwise.
Here is what critics had to say about the movie, which was released worldwide on Friday:
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama was full of praise for the movie. "You haven't watched a suspense thriller like Talaash on the Hindi screen. Ever," he writes, adding that it "keeps you guessing till the end."
Mr. Adarsh says the plot has all the elements of a thriller: conspiracy, tension, suspense and tragedy, accompanied with "razor-sharp" dialogue. The movie blends these elements and takes the suspense to "a new altitude altogether," he adds.
The critic thinks Mr. Khan dominates the movie, but Ms. Mukherjee and Ms. Kapoor also deliver performances that should see them mentioned in award ceremonies next year.
Mr. Adarsh gives "Talaash" four-and-a-half stars out of five.
NDTV movie critic Saibal Chatterjee says "Talaash" is "not to be missed." The film, he says, "relies more on the intricacies of the psychological drama than on the disquieting impact of visceral shocks."
He praises the screenplay, co-written by Ms. Kagti and Zoya Akhtar, saying "there isn't a single scene that comes across as superfluous."
Mr. Chatterjee was impressed by the actors, noting that Mr. Khan "underplays his hand to accentuate the introspective nature of the troubled man," while Ms. Mukherjee plays her role with finesse and a great sense of empathy and Ms. Kapoor is "at her seductive best."
The critic rates the film three-and-a-half stars out of five.
Aseem Chhabra, writing for website Rediff, thought the film loses track toward the end, when there is a big revelation, as it tries to over-explain what is happening.
That was the movie's "one big flaw," Mr. Chhabra writes from New York.
Overall he was satisfied with "Talaash," praising the mature way it handles the troubled adult characters, adding that it makes Mumbai look dirty, used but also enticing and thrilling.
"'Talaash' is not a Hollywood style edge-of-the-seat thriller, but there is enough in the film to make us feel uneasy. At all times we feel the pain of our protagonists and sense a certain danger that lurks around them," he says.
Mr. Chhabra added that Ms. Kagti brings the best out of Ms. Kapoor and Ms. Mukherjee, reminding him that both are very capable actors who are eager for good work. "I wish Mukherjee and Kapoor would get more solid, intelligent roles."
He says Mr. Khan makes the right decisions when choosing his projects, but is sometimes distractingly hesitant in his performances. "Khan is mostly believable in 'Talaash'… but then in a few scenes it appears as if he is thinking too much, showing signs that he is aware he is acting."
The critic gives the movie three-and-a-half stars out of five.
Critic Raja Sen notes the somber, well-assembled movie "starts off well, but simmers far too long before it gets to the boil." He adds that "Talaash" is "better put together than a lot of the films we see here, and definitely strongly acted, but ends up so, so much less enjoyable than it deserved to be."
"Perhaps the trashier approach may have worked better for this material. Or, at the very least, made for more fun," he says, adding that the dialogue is also poor: 'Even in the good scenes, the dialogues jar, sounding either b-movie or trite or incredibly textbook."
But he was particularly impressed with the performances of Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Raj Kumar Yadav, who play an errands boy and a cop, respectively.
Mr. Sen gives the movie two-and-a-half stars.

http://www.endlesshumanpotential.com/buddhist-monk-sltory.htm wrote:Two Buddhist Monks were on a journey, one was a senior monk, the other a junior monk. During their journey they approached a raging river and on the river bank stood a young lady. She was clearly concerned about how she would get to the other side of the river without drowning.
The junior monk walked straight past her without giving it a thought and he crossed the river. The senior monk picked up the woman and carried her across the river. He placed her down, they parted ways with the woman and on they went with the journey.
As the journey went on, the senior monk could see some concern on the junior monk's mind, he asked what was wrong. The junior monk replied, "how could you carry her like that? You know we can't touch women, it's against our way of life". The senior monk answered, "I left the woman at the rivers edge a long way back, why are you still carrying her?"
The moral of the story: The senior monk had broken rules but for good reason. Once the purpose was fulfilled he put her down and continued on. He never gave it a further thought. The junior monk however did not touch the woman but he had brought up the actions of the senior monk when it was an action of the past. Therefore the junior monk was carrying the burden of what the senior monk had done as emotional baggage.
We have little use for the past except for the purpose of learning from our experiences, good and bad. Just like in the Buddhist story, we need to let go of any burden the past may place on us. It's happened, it's over, it cannot be changed, we can only move forward and create a compelling future.
https://yogainternational.com/article/view/dissolving-our-fear-of-death-through-meditation wrote:
Q: My best friend was killed in a car accident recently, and her sudden death made me realize that I'm afraid of dying. Does it hurt?
A: No, death doesn't hurt. Death brings peace and takes away our pain. What does hurt though is fear of death. If we can overcome that, death isn't painful. Many forces in nature are very loving, and death is one of them. It is Mother Nature's final remedy—the most loving, kind, and generous of Her forces. Yet fear of death haunts our mind.
As you are discovering, fear of death is quite painful. It has two ingredients: fear of loss and fear of the unknown. Fear of losing what we have and what we know ourselves to be is the main ingredient. When we die, anything we identify with is completely wiped out—our thoughts, our feelings, our learning, our attainments, our memories all vanish. From our standpoint, when we die, our children die, our spouse dies, our friends die, our possessions die, our net worth dies. All of it disappears. That's scary and painful.
This pain is intensified by uncertainty. We don't know what comes after death. Will I continue to exist? If so, what will my existence be like? Most of us have no experience of the core of our being—the part of us that is utterly independent of our body, breath, mind, and senses. That is why, as we approach the moment when death separates consciousness from our familiar physical and mental selves, we panic. If I don't have a body, if I don't have senses, if I can't breathe, if I don't have a mind, then who am I? How am I going to be? This deep uncertainty breeds fear of death.
Meditation destroys this fear by giving us access to the vibrant core of our being, which is completely independent of the body, breath, and mind. This direct experience engenders an unshakeable faith in a dimension of reality much deeper, more profound, and more fulfilling than anything connected with material existence. It infuses our heart and mind with confidence that we are eternal. In the light of this experience, our fear of death dissolves.

In a career that spanned 40 years and culminated with a bust in Canton, Ohio, Marv Levy won championships, competed in Super Bowls and coached future Hall of Famers. But when he flips through his mental Rolodex of the most memorable and satisfying games, invariably he returns to a mid-October day in 1967 in Annapolis, Md.
Levy, in his fourth year as William and Mary's coach, led the Tribe to a seismic upset of Navy. The Midshipmen were the No. 1-ranked team in the East, with wins against Penn State, Michigan and Syracuse. W&M was 3-3, had not beaten Navy since World War II and was supposed to be homecoming fodder for the Mids.
Instead, the Tribe rallied from 16 points down late in the third quarter and overtook Navy 27-16. Levy and his players fairly floated back to Williamsburg, arriving to a huge reception on campus.
"I spent 12 years with the (Buffalo) Bills," Levy, now 87, said earlier this week from his home in Chicago. "Other than that, what I remember most is my five years at William and Mary. They were the greatest group of overachievers, whether it was on the athletic field or in the classroom, that I've ever been associated with."
Levy and that particular group of overachievers will be honored at halftime of Saturday's 3:30 p.m. homecoming football game versus Maine at Zable Stadium, marking the 45th anniversary of that edition of the Tribe and of the Navy win.
Following Saturday's game, players from the Tribe's '67 team and selected others are scheduled to go to the Laycock Center and view a DVD of the Navy game, which was re-mastered from the original film.
"My wife asked me recently if that was the best day of my life," said Jim Barton, a defensive back on that team who went on to become a doctor and is now a physician with W&M's student health services. "I correctly answered no. We have three sons, so the days that they were all born and the day my wife and I got married were the best four days. But that's a close fifth."
Navy was still a national power in the mid-1960s, having produced Heisman Trophy winners Joe Bellino and Roger Staubach only a few years earlier. The Tribe had lost to the Midshipmen each of Levy's first three years, by an average of 26 points, and had lost the last 12 in the series.
Tribe quarterback Dan Darragh said in a previous story that he told his younger sister, Mary Anne, before the team left for Annapolis: "We don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning this game."
Many of Darragh's teammates were far more optimistic, despite Navy's reputation and the fact that the Mids were a 21-point favorite.
"I don't think by any means we thought we were just going to show up and be another 'W' for them on homecoming," said Barton, who grew up in nearby Landover, Md., and whose father and grandfather had served in the Navy. "But when you fall behind 16-0, you start to think that maybe all the pundits who said we didn't stand a chance were right."
Barton added, "But then good things started happening. We started to think, maybe we can pull this thing off."
Darragh directed a 68-yard touchdown drive, diving in from the 1-yard line on the last play of the third quarter. The Tribe's Gordon Buchanan recovered a Navy fumble on the ensuing series, and Darragh connected with sophomore receiver Jim Cavanaugh for an 11-yard touchdown. Darragh hit Ted Zychowski for the two-point conversion, to cut the Mids' lead to 16-14 with 5:16 remaining.
"We played a lot of homecoming games at William and Mary, because people thought they could beat us," said Cavanaugh, a longtime assistant coach at Virginia Tech. "We had good players. We had better players than I think a lot of people gave us credit for."
The Tribe defense stopped Navy once more and forced a punt. On 2nd-and-8 from the W&M 49, Darragh recognized a blitz coming and changed the play. He hit wide receiver Steve Slotnick in stride for a 51-yard touchdown pass that gave the Tribe a 20-16 lead with 3:05 left.
William and Mary's Jeff Lund then recovered a short, bouncing kickoff at the Navy 20. Five plays later, Terry Morton scored from the 2-yard line for the game's final points.
Cavanaugh remembered the stunned silence of the crowd. As the players shook hands and chatted briefly afterward, he said that a former high school teammate playing for the Midshipmen griped to him that when they lost, Saturday curfew was earlier, cutting into the evening's social plans.
"I said, Hey, don't blame that on me," Cavanaugh joked.
Mostly, the players and coaches felt immense satisfaction.
"We'd sat there in that locker room while those 4,400 naval cadets marched by our locker room singing 'Anchors Aweigh' for so many years after losing to them," Levy said, "it was very inspiring."
Current Tribe head coach Jimmye Laycock was a member of the '67 team, but was sidelined with a knee injury and did not make the trip. He and others listened to the game on the radio, and he recalled the excitement all over campus after the win.
When the team returned to campus, it was met by a throng of people cheering and holding signs, including school president Davis Paschall.
"I think there was more than the total population of Williamsburg there to welcome us back on campus," Levy said. "We realized it was an upset beyond belief almost."
On the steps of old Blow Gymnasium, Levy and the captains addressed the crowd, and Levy presented Paschall with the game ball.
"There was a lot of energy, excitement and pride that day," Barton said. "I could hear the bell ringing at the Wren Building like it's never rang before."
The scene, Laycock said, "I don't think that had ever been seen before at William and Mary."
The Tribe defeated The Citadel and tied West Virginia before falling to rival Richmond in the season finale.
Levy's teams won Grey Cups in the Canadian Football League and famously won four consecutive AFC Championships and played in four Super Bowls. But he said that when he reflects on the most memorable games he coached, there's the Bills' 41-38 playoff overtime win against Houston, when they erased a 35-3 second-half deficit in the biggest comeback in NFL history, and the Tribe's win at Navy.
"There are some others," Levy said, "but those two are always on the list."
Barton eagerly anticipates Saturday's reunion, when players and coaches can reminisce and tell stories. Details have grown fuzzy with time. Video of the Navy game likely will jog some memories and clarify others.
"I was happy that I didn't blow my assignments," he said with a chuckle. "That was kind of my contribution. I didn't let anyone get behind me. What I remember is going out there and doing what we practiced. Everybody did their assignments and did them pretty well. We were collectively just part of a bigger effort that had a great result."

Cigar festival to puff into Boulder
Hack hack!
Boulder, of all places, is about to host Colorado's first Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival. About 1,700 rope smokers are expected to attend the hazy conference noon-7 p.m. on Aug. 29.
The $100 tickets will get you in with a goodie bag that'll include 20 top-shelf cigars (think Romeo y Julieta, Montecristo, Partagas) a lighter, cutter, T-shirt and TEN drink tickets.
And a band!
That's what I'm talking about!
$25 "social" tickets are also available for people who don't want the cigars and other goodies.
The event will take place outside at the gardens at the Millennium Harvest House.
Special guests include this unlikely trio: NFL Hall of Famer Randy "The Manster" White, "Sopranos" actor Joe "Vito Spatafore" Gannascoli, and Independence Institute boss Jon Caldera.
The smoke-in is modeled after The Big Smoke in NYC and LV and the recent CIGARfest in Philly which drew more than 3,000 people.
"We're hoping Boulder comes out and support this," says event organizer Emelia Allen. "Cigars are a luxury, more of a lifestyle than a habit."
If it does well, they're hoping to make the fest an annual Boulder habit.
