1. At your graduation ceremony take a safety pin along. They will not provide you one as "officially" the pin can tear up the rented robe (you get to the cap)
2. Account for a lot of extra expenses - trips, dinners, graduation ceremony - $20 for the grad photo, $54 for the graduation ceremony, $108 for the formals, an insane amount for the deerhurst
3. Wireless routers are needed in the residential houses. Its better if you carry one as stuff is generally expensive in Canada
4. As soon as you land, (Schulich India) - apply for an OCWP - you are eligible for it as you have spent 6 months as a York university student already.
5. Study really well in the first year so that you get good grades and are eligible for a host of scholarships from the school.
6. If you are attending a cocktail networking event, be prepared not to eat / drink anything. (There is hardly stuff anyway) Focus on meeting people. We know that they know that its all hogwash but you gotta do it.
7. Staying in the Assiniboine Residences has benefits and perils
I. Benefits
a. We have a Santa delivering presents all the year round in the way of people moving out and leaving stuff that they no longer need in the ground floor. Be patient and soon you will chance upon - printers, lamps, chairs, microwaves and other surprises. Remember, it would be your turn to play Santa when you move out!
b. You get to see a lot of people, which is otherwise a rarity in that part of town
II. Perils
a. Frequent disturbances from people pulling the fire alarm - trust me you cannot sleep through the alarm (its an offence as well)
b. You do not get much credit in the way of tax rebate as the university housing is supposed to be subsidized ( in reality however its not so compared to the options available around it)
8. Even if the meeting rooms are booked, try some of the smaller class rooms on the second and third floors. they are usually unoccupied and open. If someone comes in, be assertive!
9. There is a combination of TTC transport that can take you from Pearson airport to York University - make sure you either have a token or 3 dollars in change for the TTC fare. The public transport stop is at the lower levels of the pearson airport. You can either take the 58A to Lawrence west and from there take the North Bound to Downsview or take the 196 to Kipling station, travel east bound to st george, change trains and then take the north bound to Downsview
10. Restaurants are way overpriced at York Lanes but you cant help and treat yourself occasionally. I dont have much idea about non veg but there are decent options for vegetarians - try the paneer wrap at Indian Flavours, the 2 veggie combo as Pagoda, Subway and the 5$ basket at KFC. There is a vegetarian plate at Jimmy the Greek which I think is the best value for money. While I personally like Mangia Mangia there have been a lot of raised eyebrows about its health standards. If you do not mind spending $5, then you may want to check out the Indian buffet options at Islington Steet. For an all inclusive cost of about $15 you can have really good food.
11. Beverages at Timothys in the college is Overpriced and I would rush to the Tim Hortons in the Seneca building for a quick sip. While the muffins and the cookies at Timothy's also are expensive, I would highly recommend it as they are fresh and delightful
12. Before the actual winter sets in, there is a decent sale on winter wear. Make use of this - you will need the extra layers of clothes.
13. If you are someone who looks forward to buy electronics on the cheap, wait for the boxing day sale. Otherwise I dont find the prices very attractive round the year.
14. There are a couple of options for groceries near the university - Food Cents (which is at a 10 minute walking distance) and No Frills (which is about 20 minutes away walking or about 8 minutes by TTC). If you do go to Islington, then you can also plan to shop at the Indian Bazaar where you will get more indian things than an actual store in India.
15. For haircut again there are a couple of options - at the University Mall (near Food cents) where the hair cut ranges from $14 to $20 and at Islington where it costs about $10 (do not forget to add $5 if you are going solely for a haircut to Islington which i think is a waste of time then)
16. Dont think twice while spending the $300 worth of print credit. Most of the students end up with a credit balance that expires just at the end of the final term (before you realize it)
17. The library is a great place for reading magazines and journals, utilize this facility well as I believe this is one of the best plus points of the school
18. There are a couple of clubs at York University which organize screening of Indian films and "significant" cricket matches - keep an eye out for it
19. Join the Schulich Connect Yahoo Groups. This is the unofficial site for selling and buying household stuff and books at schulich
20. Internet speeds are great at the residences however do not go overbound and download too much stuff. Your connection is monitored even if you believe it aint and illegal downloads attract special attention.
21. Make sure you have a nice portfolio bag and a good suit with you as you would need them for attending interviews
22. As soon as you land, apply for a credit card and try and get your driving license. You will need to deposit money for the credit card - $750 for a $600 limit credit card - and then maintain good credit as this credit history will result in a good credit score when you apply for a loan. Similarly when you apply for a driving license early on and let time pass, when you actually go ahead to get insurance, this cost will be lesser. Carry a letter from your RTO (Regional transport authority, the people who issue your driving license in India) that you have been driving with a valid passport for "X" number of years and have not been involved in any accidents . This letter will help you skip a step in between when applying for your driving license in Canada.
23. Canada's Wonderland is a great place to visit. Plan to go there in the summers as it is closed during the winters and its hours of operations are also shorter for the short duration it is open in the winters. Look out for offers here as well as they do come by.
24. When buying electronics there is no point doing price comparison between Future Shop and Best Buy as Best Buy bought over Future Shop quite a while back. The other significant brick and mortar shop is "the Source" which is quite useless when it comes to competitive pricing. You may want to explore this site called tiger direct or ITxchange where you can generally get good deals on computers
25. During the winters, due to the heaters, the air inside the rooms tends to become very dry. You may want to consider purchasing a humidifier.
26. A trip to Walmart requires you to take the VIVA Orange transportation service which costs $3.5 one way (or 2.6 if you take a 10 pass ticket). However if you can finish your work at walmart quickly, then you can use the same ticket to head back within 2 hours.
Stuff happens, they need to be reported

The Attack of the Font Monster
After the initial shock of the news wore off I was more fascinated by the affect it had on the websites of reputed news agencies and I was not disappointed !
CNN and The Wall Street Journal had shot their website design to pieces by increasing the font size of their headline to huge proportions. Their graphic designers would have had a tough time for sure. On the other hand The Globe and Mail and The Times of India did not compromise their designs to accommodate a piece of news and I respect that. The others were somewhere in the middle.
What is the message that websites are giving when they do this ? In case you wear glasses and you cant find them, we do not want you to miss this piece of action, so allow us to blow it up for you. Maintain some dignity guys!

Killing the iPad 3g softly, from Inside
What is the most likely thing you will carry in your pocket if you are a tablet owner. I am guessing you will have a killer smart phone that can do almost everything except the dishes. No wait, it could possibly do that as well - there must be an app for it.
The leader in tablets, Apple has two flavours of the Ipad - Wifi and 3g+Wifi. You pay a cool $130 extra to get the 3G capability on your pad. But step back and think, is it worth it ? You may say yes, it is. I need to be connected to the internet when I am travelling and there may be no wifi around.
Think again and reach for your pocket and look to the skies (there would be a cell tower around somewhere). I am willing to bet your Apple iPhone has atleast 2-3 bars of signal strength (provided you are not covering up the antenna area!) and that is all you will need to connect your iPad to the Internet - the magic of wireless tethering.
Very powerful concept, that allows your phone to effectively become a router to other devices including laptops and tablets. It does not really make sense any more to pay extra for that 3G capability. I would love to see, how Apple responds!
The game now hinges on your service provider, to provide you with a plan that encourages you to use reams of data on your smartphone. This means a couple of things for service providers
1. All devices are made equal - No disparity in charges per mb depending on the device that consumes the data
2. Exponential growth of data traffic on the wireless network - Time to redo calibration of network capacity

The Business of News
Here's an interesting piece of original research by me! Sitting in Toronto during the final months of my MBA, while glancing through Indian Newspaper sites, a thought crossed my mind - Where does all the news come from ?
So I decided to do a little research on 7 newspapers from India who have an online presence. The idea was to try and determine the source of the news - for instance PTI (Press Trust of India) , AP (Associated Press), Reuters etc. For the purpose of this research I purposefully did not include Television based news sites (as I really discount the quality of reporting on non business Indian News Channels)and I focussed this study on non financial newspapers only. This research was conducted on 1st Mar 2011 at about 1.30 pm IST.
I did consider three more papers - The Statesman, The Telegraph and The Tribune but I decided not to include them in this research. The main reason why I chose not to include them was because of the fact that they either do not do justice to the online format by trying to replicate the print news as is on the web (no, I am not referring to the ePaper versions) or they simply have a horrific site design.
For once, I am not going to include my viewpoints on the outcome of the research and I would like to invite you to comment on it. I am expecting that this post would generate different viewpoints and thats the reason why I do not want to channelize those thoughts by providing mine upfront.
A request - if you do quote this anywhere, please mention the author's name!

Enabling credit card payments
I am fascinated to see the adoption of technology. Square Inc is now offering any one with an iPhone / iPad (with an Internet connection) in the US the ability to accept credit card payments. This means cab drivers, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, flea traders and sunday market farmers can accept small transactions through credit cards. (oh, i am not sure if they would have an iPhone). I would be tempted to use one for the heck of it but the transaction fee is set at - 2.75% + 15 cents per transaction.
I think the transaction fees are slightly high but that is possibly because it is still trying to figure out proper risk management techniques. I think the image says a lot. and this is the example of only one of the companies doing it (the coolest one by far) there are other Payment Processors engaging in this niche area as well - Sage Payment solutions (looking at mid to small sized merchants), PayWare Mobile processing. Cool stuff overall...

I am so angry with ICICI Bank...Money Manager account
I am so angry at ICICI Bank for trying to force its customers to use the Money Manager software on its Internet Banking offering.
Ok, so a little background first....around New Year's time (or atleast thats when I noticed it) ICICI Bank introduced a service called Money Manager on their Online Banking system. The way I see it, it is a personal finance software which aims to help with your day to day expenses. I think its quite neat as a concept and its bound to catch on with other banks having a substantial retail base.
This is fine but there is a catch to it. The Bank has decided to charge for the software (25 rupees per month) after an initial trial period of 90 days. So far so good, the Bank can do what ever it pleases as long as it makes the rules clear upfront. Obviously, I am not interested in the software as I dont want ICICI Bank to charge me Rs. 300 a year for a software that I personally will not use.
So, whats the way out? Thankfully there is a way out! Customers can unsubscribe from the service. Hey but, whats this. I cannot unsubscribe before 31st Jan 2011 ? Really !? Weird. So I put a reminder on my phone to unsubscribe from the software on 1st Feb 2011. When I visit Money Manager on 1st Feb 2011, surprise - surprise. The unsubscribe date has been postponed to "on or before 28th Feb 2011". What a cheap, underhand trick.
They think, by forcing people to remain subscribed to the service they can induce customers to use their software. No it does not... It makes people mad. And it makes them write a blog about the horrible experience and let their friends know about it.
And oh yes, I have updated my calendar and shifted the date to 28th Feb 2011.

Lets have another round on personal Integrity!
Its legal! So what do you think when you hear this. It means that the laws of the land have said it is ok to do so or the laws dont have any explicit opinion about it, hence its legal.
Think about it. Where do the laws come from? They definitely do not originate from human nature, otherwise we would not go about breaking so many of them on a regular basis. These are created by people based on their judgement about right or wrong at the time of framing the law.
Now this does not mean that the law is all encompassing. In fact laws are created when people find ways to do things which are not right but the law at that time did not object to it. Think about hoarding. Inherently it means that you are utilizing your resources to stimulate market demand without exerting direct compulsion. This would have been perfectly fine if you were not dealing with food.
My point is that even if the basic values of a person are in the right place, he cannot always depend on the legality of a situation and decide accordingly. He may end up violating his values without even knowing about it, unless some one explicitly points out to him. So it is necessary that you question your own move and be comfortable with it personally, cause if you seek solace or justification externally, you probably will twist the message to suit your frame.
These thoughts are not mine. They are credited to my professor, Dr. Mark Kamstra from the Financial management class at Schulich. I am really glad that they have shaped my thoughts in this manner and the experience has compelled me to pen my thoughts down...

Youve Got Mail 04-08-2008
Published 7:00 pm, Monday, April 7, 2008
(NOTE: You've Got Mail offers a variety of random e-mails received by Herald staffers.)
A teacher dies and goes to Heaven. When she gets there, she meets St. Peter at the pearly gates. St. Peter says to her, "Welcome to Heaven. Let me give you an orientation." So, he takes her to some beautiful mansions.
The teacher asks, "Who lives here in these beautiful houses?"
"These are for doctors. They did a lot of good on Earth so they get a nice mansion," replied Peter.
Peter took the teacher to some more mansions. These were more magnificent than the first. "Wow, who lives here?"
"These mansions are for social workers. They did a lot of good on Earth but didn't make a lot of money so they get a better house."
Peter took the teacher to some more mansions. These were the most gorgeous homes she had ever seen. They had huge columns, well-manicured lawns, beautiful stained glass windows; the works! "These are the most beautiful homes I have ever seen" exclaimed the teacher, "Who lives here?"
"Teachers live here," said St. Peter. "They did much good on Earth and received very little money so they get the best houses in all of Heaven."
"But where are all of the teachers?" inquired the teacher.
Peter answered, "Oh, they'll be back soon. They're all in Hell giving the TAKS test."

Kyrgyz Opposition Bloc Rejects Coalition Government Proposal
President Bakiev's (right) and Prime Minister Atambaev's proposals didn't sway For Reform (Courtesy Photo) April 2, 2007 (RFE/RL) -- One of Kyrgyzstan's two biggest opposition blocs today rejected proposals to join a coalition government.
The proposals were made by President Kurmanbek Bakiev and the new Prime Minister Almaz Atambaev.
In a meeting today, the For Reform movement said it wants constitutional reforms first, giving some presidential powers to the Kyrgyz parliament.
Omurbek Abdyrakmanov, a member of the bloc, told RFE/RL's Kyrgyz Service that the movement is still open to negotiations with the president on political reforms.
Another opposition bloc, the United Front for the Worthy Future of Kyrgyzstan, is preparing several protest actions to force the government to organize early presidential elections and constitutional reforms.
More than 80 members and supporters of the United Front said they will launch a hunger strike on April 5 and mass rallies on April 11.

WASHINGTON - More than 600 families who lost loved ones in the terrorist attacks Sept. 11 filed a lawsuit yesterday against three Saudi princes, seven international banks, the government of Sudan and eight Islamic charities for allegedly supporting terrorist leader Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida network.
The suit, which seeks "hundreds of billions" of dollars in damages, claims, "These entities, cloaked in a thin veil of legitimacy, were and are the true enablers of terrorism."
It was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington. To date, the record for damages is the settlement agreed to by tobacco companies in 1998, worth $206 billion in the first 25 years.

I was super excited when I heard Maybelline was coming out with a BB cream targeted for oily skinned gals. The Dream Fresh BB cream is for normal skin type girls and I didn't want to take any chances and end up with a greasy face using that product.
But I digress.
I'm sure we're all familiar with how American BB creams are no where near to being the same as Asian BB creams. I still have to buy and test out an Asian BB cream TT^TT. This BB cream is no exception. The only glorifying aspect of this product is its salicylic acid ingredient (which may or may not be a problem, more on that later). I do know that this product, outside of the US, contain SPF while the US version does not. *sadfaiz*
On the upside, this product was pleasantly surprising. The coverage is light/medium and evens out my skin tone very well. I have to say, I bought the wrong shade at first. The medium shade is very pinkish while the medium/deep is more suited for yellow-toned skin. I'm usually a medium in most foundation, a little on the darker side since it's summer. *sidenote: I'm a MAC cosmetics virgin /)_____(\ so I can't give you a MAC comparison in terms of skin tone.*
The product is very creamy and a little thick. It's not heavy but if you accidentally pile on the makeup, it can feel cakey and heavy. On my skin, it feels a little sticky/tacky once I apply it and it takes some time to set. This product also transfers when I plot with an oil blotting sheet or if I accidentally rub my face against a shirt.
This BB cream doesn't give me a lot of oil control, either. I typically get oily within 3 or 4 hours and this is no exception. I don't mind however for a product targeted for oily gals, I would've hoped for more oil control.
As for the salicylic acid ingredient, I can't say that it has helped my acne or made my acne worse. I do know that salicylic acid has broken my skin out but I didn't experience any breakouts with this product.
I do like this product but I hardly reach for this nowadays. /)________(\ mainly because I'm trying to cut salicylic acid out of my skincare life. Overall, this is a nice product to try if salicylic acid doesn't bother you and if you're not super oily (like only on the t-zone).
I do believe I picked this up at Walmart for $6-7USD. I rarely see Maybelline coupons but if there's a sale, definitely give it a try. 🙂
Here are some pictures of the coverage.

Shortlisted for the RNA Romantic Comedy Novel Awards 2013
Laura Meredith never imagined herself appearing on TV - she's too old, too flabby, too downright hormonal, and much too busy holding things together for her son, Stanley, after her husband left her for a younger, thinner replacement. But best friend Charlotte is a determined woman and when Laura is persuaded on to a daytime show to talk about her PMT, everything changes.
Suddenly there's a camera crew tracking her every move and Laura finds herself an unlikely star. But as things heat up between her and gorgeous TV director, Cal, they're going downhill elsewhere. While Laura's caught up in a heady whirlwind of beauty treatments, makeovers, and glamorous film locations, Charlotte's husband, Roger, is concealing a guilty secret, Stanley's got problems at school, work's piling up, and when Laura turns detective to protect Charlotte's marriage, things go horribly wrong. The champagne's flowing as Laura's prime-time TV debut looks set to be a hit. But in every month, there's a "Day Ten".

CHARLTON � An angry confrontation over a drug deal at an Old Worcester Road home, where a Charlton youth brandished a handgun, has led to the arrests of two men and could help police solve car break-ins in the Oxford area, according to police.
Charlton police Officer Richard M. McGrath arrested Anthony E. Mead, 17, of 49 Ramshorn Road on July 8 on charges of firearm use in a felony, carrying a firearm without a license, assault with a dangerous weapon, improper storage of a firearm, receiving stolen property, possessing ammunition without a firearms identification card, possession of a Class C drug and possession to distribute a Class D drug.
Mr. Mead was arraigned July 9 in Dudley District Court and released on $2,000 bail. He was ordered to return Aug. 20 for a pretrial hearing.
On Monday, Dudley District Court issued an arrest warrant for Mr. Mead on charges of violating the probation he is serving for offenses in 2010 and 2011.
According to a police report, Omar E. Velez of Southbridge walked into the Charlton police station July 8 to report that Mr. Mead had threatened him with a gun at the Lussier residence at 87 Old Worcester Road.
Mr. Velez told police that his son, Omar X. Velez, received a threatening phone call from Mr. Mead, who was allegedly looking to collect payment for drugs that Sturbridge police had seized when they arrested Mr. Velez's son days before.
Mr. Velez said he took the phone from his son, had words with Mr. Mead, then took his son to the Lussier residence to confront Mr. Mead.
Mr. Velez said that while he argued in the driveway with Mr. Mead and 17-year-old Dan Lussier, Mr. Mead pulled a handgun and threatened to shoot him. Mr. Velez left and went directly to the police station, the report said.
Officer McGrath, Charlton Sgt. Daniel P. Dowd and Spencer police Detective James Murray went to the Lussier residence but found the youths had left.
According to the report, Detective Murray found a loaded gun magazine on a table just inside an open garage door. Officers said they entered the house and found Mr. Lussier's mother and younger brother in their bedrooms. Mrs. Lussier reached her son by mobile phone and instructed him to return home.
Upon his return, Mr. Lussier led Officer McGrath to a Bryco Arms .380 handgun hidden in a bag with marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms and drug-dealing supplies in the woods near his house, police said. More ammunition later was found in Mr. Lussier's bedroom.
Mr. Lussier told police that Mr. Mead had hidden the gun.
Police said they found Mr. Mead at the house of Travis Dionne of 10 Wilson Lane. Mr. Dionne told police Mr. Mead bought the gun for $120 from someone who stole it while breaking into cars in the Oxford area, the report said. In an interview Monday, Officer McGrath said the investigation continues.
"We do expect to make further arrests involving this incident, and I am confident that we are going to be able to identify the owner of the firearm," he said.
Mr. Lussier was subsequently arrested and arraigned last week on charges of possession of a firearm without a license, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, improper storage of a firearm, receiving stolen property and unlawful possession of ammunition.

Waste Management Backing Renmatix Garbage-to-Biofuel Technology
Waste Management Inc. (WM), the biggest U.S. trash hauler, is giving money and garbage to Renmatix Inc., which is developing systems to convert refuse into sugars that may be processed into fuel.
Waste Management, based in Houston, participated in a $75 million funding round, Katie Struble, a Renmatix spokeswoman, said today by phone. She wouldn't say how much the King of Prussia, Pennsylvania-based company received from Waste Management and the hauler declined to discuss the funding.
Renmatix will use food scraps, construction debris and pulp and paper waste that Waste Management collects in urban areas as a feedstock for its cellulosic biofuel process, according to a statement today. The closely held company already uses garbage from rural areas.
The agreement expands on Waste Management's investments in at least eight other ventures that are developing systems to convert garbage into fuel and electricity. The company estimated this year that the 112 million tons of waste it hauled away in 2011 may be worth more than $40 billion if it was all processed into energy.
"This collaboration is a continuation of our commitment to extract the value we see in waste and convert it into valuable resources," William Caesar, president of Waste Management Recycling Services, said in the statement.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Don Mattingly may be running out of patience with his star outfielder. The challenge of handling the highly gifted but mercurial Yasiel Puig has seemingly become more frustrating than rewarding in recent days, according to ESPN's Mark Saxson.
Puig's antics are nothing new, but his lackluster spring training and a rocky start to the regular season in Australia are making them harder to tolerate.
Puig batted .122 in spring training. At times, he seemed unfocused. In one drill, the Dodgers practiced calling for pop-ups. How rudimentary is that? Each of the veterans, including Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Andre Ethier took it seriously, dutifully calling for the ball and waving others off.
When it came to Puig's turn, he jokingly turned in circles in right field and let the ball land in the grass behind him.
Now, only two games into the 2014 season, we see a little more faith erode. Before Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Mattingly playfully compared Puig to the boy who cried wolf, saying he never knows when he is actually hurt because he grabs a different body part every time he strikes out.
Puig is nothing if not entertaining. Having this story line pop up this early in the proceedings, however, is likely not the type of attention the Dodgers would prefer.

Wind helps Stanton man 'support ranching habit'
Published 7:00 pm, Saturday, September 27, 2008
- Mike Hull helps bring wind turbine technology to Martin County and beyond.
By Kay Crites
MRT Correspondent
By day, Mike Hull works in the computer department of a local oil company, but in his spare time he pursues what has become his passion - wind power. Hull said it all began with a seemingly simple task - bringing wind power to his Stanton ranch in an effort to "support my ranching habit."
That simple beginning has resulted in four wind projects in the Stanton area and a new company to promote wind power in Texas.
"I started by going to conferences and meetings in the area. In the meantime, I gathered six years of wind data and got some new topo maps - everything I thought I might need to get someone do to a project on my ranch," said Hull. At one of those conferences, Hull met Sweetwater attorney Rod Wetsel, who told Hull he was meeting with a developer and asked Hull to forward all of his data.
"I gathered up everything I had and faxed it to him. Then I e-mailed it, and then I overnighted it to him."
Then, he waited. A few days later, he received a call asking him to meet Wetsel and the developer, Steve DeWolf, president of Wind Tex Energy in Sweetwater for lunch.
"Steve was enthused," said Hull. "He came and looked and wanted to know if I could get other owners involved. I got my neighbors in Stanton together, and we got Rod to represent us. That's how the first project came together."
DeWolf also approached Hull about helping with a second project. "I gathered information and got the landowners together. For awhile, just to get started, I was driving to Sweetwater after work, picking up paperwork and then driving it back to Sweetwater after work the next day just to meet the deadlines. From Stanton, we then moved to a project in Borden County."
According to DeWolf, Hull is "the guy responsible for the Stanton project getting off the ground.
"Because he took the lead of getting the local landowners together, I was able to take the ball from there and help develop the project, along with - at the later stages - Invenergy, who built the project. Mike is not only a hard worker, but he's enthusiastic and pleasant to deal with."
The Stanton Wind Energy Facility will consist of 80 General Electric 1.5sle wind turbines, generating an estimated annual energy of 379,000,000 kwh, enough energy for about 34,000 typical homes. Site construction began in the summer of 2007 with operations beginning this year. Wind Tex Energy has developed a number of wind farms in Texas. Three are currently operating, including Stanton, and one is under construction for a total of approximately 500 megawatts. In addition, four other projects are in development, according to DeWolf.
Hull has been so successful that he and four others are in the process of launching their own company to put together wind projects - putting up test towers and conducting the necessary wind studies.
"We're acquiring property and doing transmission, environmental and archeological studies, up to the point where we need someone with the turbines. We started this summer, and we already have two projects that we're going to do studies on at this time. One's in Jones County and the other is in Glasscock."
Hull and his partners have named their new company Fuerte Wind.
"For whatever reason, one of the partners seems to have a thing for Spanish names. Fuerte means strong, and that's what everyone voted on."
Hull said DeWolf also introduced him to Invenergy, a company with access to the wind turbines.
"There are a lot of possibilities, as we get more involved with the wind industry. It's pretty new. Maybe if we're lucky, one of these days we can operate our own project."

Hollywood seems to be going MMA crazy again, importing fighters left and right for movie roles. And one guy who wants to get in on some of that action is Jon Jones. Via MMA Junkie:
"I'd like to model my acting career on Dwayne Johnson, the way he came out of [WWE] and started off tough guy roles and then moved over to doing 'Tooth Fairy,'" Jones told MMAjunkie.com during an appearance at the UFC's "World Tour" in Los Angeles. "That's when you really saw that he could act, and he's the one I admire and respect a lot, so I know I'd love to model my acting career after (him)…
"As an entertainer, I think acting is one of the highest levels you can get, and right now, I'm doing pretty well in my field, which is the martial arts world. To branch out a little bit and get my feet wet there and maybe prepare myself for a career after this career, I think it's all part of the plan."
There's so much WTF in all this I don't know where to start. Namedropping The Rock's performance in the Tooth Fairy as the point where he started being taken seriously as an actor? W. T. F, sir. And even trying to compare himself to the Rock in the first place? The Rock is an extremely charismatic guy who's so enjoyable as a character that he just plays himself in all the movies he's in. Jon Jones is like the Anti-Rock. People don't really like him – he's a great martial artist in the cage but as a person the most used words to describe him are 'fake' and 'not genuine.'
Never mind the fact that Jones can't act to save his life. Back when Bud Light had Jon and Dana White appear in a commercial together, White ended up having to say Jones' lines because Jones couldn't even say 'Here we go!' convincingly. So let's rest easy knowing that no matter how much smoke sycophants blow up JJ's ass, he's never going to get any sweet Tooth Fairy style roles that will win him critical acclaim.

Churches by the River
Religion on the Thames
Very few Thames-side parish churches have been the subject of detailed archaeological investigation; the dedication, and location of the church within the landscape, are therefore important indicators of the possible origins of the building. For example, of the churches along the tidal Thames, over half are dedicated either to St Mary the Virgin or to All Saints, (or All Hallows) which may be an indication of an early foundation date.
The location of the church within the landscape may provide clues as to the shape of river during the Anglo-Saxon period. The prominence of (even in today's crowded urban landscape) and the proximity to the river of many of the churches suggests that in addition to their religious function, the buildings could have fulfilled practical functions as well. Perhaps it is possible that the towers of the churches were used as navigational aids by boats travelling up and down the river, while extensive views from the tops of the towers could also mean that the structures could have been utilized as watch towers.
The importance of the church in relationship to the river is clearly shown at Chiswick, where a causeway aligned with the east end of the church runs across the foreshore. Although this feature is not datable to the early medieval period, its presence and the street pattern of the rest of the village suggest a long history for the alignment. In addition to further study of the origin and form of the churches, a study of their associated churchyards may also prove rewarding. The boundaries and shapes of the churchyards may provide hints about the original shape of the landscape, for example the church of St Mary's, Battersea is enclosed within a roughly circular enclosure atop a small rise, suggesting that it originally was founded on a small gravel island.
Mention must also be made of the tributaries of the Thames. It is intriguing to note that on the River Fleet are located two of the oldest churches in the Greater London area, St Pancras and St Andrew's Holborn. At St Pancras, an early medieval century altar has been discovered, while St Andrew's is referred to in a charter of c AD951 as the 'old timber church'. The church of St Dunstan and All Saints in Stepney, a possible minster church, is located close to the former course of the Black Ditch. Further study of churches located on the tributaries may prove illuminating with regard to the patterns of Saxon settlement. Examination of the itineraries of the early kings of England also provides information about the importance and status of some of the sites along the Thames, in particular Brentford and Chelsea where ecclesiastical councils were held and charters issued during the 8th and early 9th centuries.
For more information about the churches along the river, see the Gazetteer.

The Reaction Against Romanticism

( Originally Published Early 1900's )
Still another philosopher long suffered from neglect of his teachings, but has in recent time had powerful influence on thought: Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860). He was full of contempt for the superficiality of existence and became the boldest assertor of pessimism. His life corresponded to his doctrine. He was unsociable and dogmatic, in youth immoral, and in age cynical. When his fellow students were filled with enthusiasm against Napoleon, Schopenhauer recognized in the conqueror merely the stronger expression of the selfishness of all men, and instead of taking arms against him, went to the Weimar Library to write a philosophical essay for his degree. His chief treatise is "The World as Will and Idea" (1819), in which he maintained that previous philosophers had erred in making reason the primary object in philosophy; whereas, he argued that in knowing, the ego, or subject perceiving, and the object perceived, are but opposite poles of the same thing; but in willing, there is a revelation of an inner real existence. The identity of the ego in "I will" and "I know" is the mystery which philosophy must ponder. Schopenhauer expressed his admiration for Plato and Kant, his contempt for Fichte, and his hostility to Hegel. There was practically no call for his services at any university. He renounced all superstitions of duty to country, kindred or associates, and found pleasure in reading the ancient and modern classics. He admired asceticism and was attracted to Buddhism, the similarity of which to his own philosophy is generally recognized. While the former philosophers had almost immediate effect upon literature, Schopenhauer did not exert any in his lifetime, but since his death his views have appeared in the literature of many countries.
It may be added to this brief sketch of the philosophers of the earlier part of the Century, that their work has been continued by eminent successors. Hermann Rudolf Lotze (1817-1881) was professor in Göttingen and ranked first among metaphysicians. Among his works are the "Microcosmos of Philosophy" (1856-64), and his valuable "History of Esthetics in Germany" (1868).
He gave countenance to the later development of physiological psychology.
The successor of Schopenhauer as an exponent of pessimism is Eduard von Hartmann, born in 1842. On retiring from the Prussian military service in 1865, he devoted himself to philosophy. His greatest work is "The Philosophy of the Unconscious" (1868), which was based on physiology. Among his later works are "The Ethical Consciousness," "The Philosophy of Religion," and "AEsthetics" (1886), besides numerous essays on philosophical, religious, and social questions.

y boys come in from the barn.
I lay out bread.
They banter, hard, the brother-scrape.
One of the boys tosses in slices of bread for toast, careless. I set out plates in sun.
The Tall-son lathers butter on toast, but only his. I notice.
"Son, your brother? Could you butter his toast?" He reaches for peanut butter, fires me a white-hot glare. Morning flashes.
How'd I stumble into shadow and cross fire?
"Please. Might you pass a piece of toast down to your brother?"
"Sure." His sarcasm slaps. I steady myself on the table's edge.
Nothing could have braced the gut for what he did next, shrapnel ripping intestines.
He whips a piece of toast into his brother's face.
Why throw toast in your brother's face?
His brother rages red and I'm sucker punched and it's toast, yeah, but isn't it his heart and I shake the head stunned, losing words, and the child I ripened with, bore down and birthed from the heart, he turns on a Tuesday, tears out a few more of the pulsing chunks and where did I go so wrong?
It's toast and it's not toast and I can't shrug it off because it's the profanity of it, the desecrating of one made in the Image. I slam hands down on the table when I'd like to grab hold of his throat. Can I exchange the clay eyes shot red for the sacred seeing?
My mother-anger could crack vases.
He's smirking.
"Why would you throw that at him?" I'm too shrill, too gaped, too blind-white angry.
Straw comes in all shapes and the back of a camel can be weak and it's toast and surely there's something behind it that I should seek out but I don't even care.
It's my own face that obscures the face of God.
How can I help this son of mine see when I can't see?
The parent must always self-parent first — self-preach before child-teach — because who can bring peace unless they've held their own peace?
Christ incarnated in the parent — is the only hope of incarnating Christ in the child… "

A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are
Ever feel like this — and come a bit — unglued?
My heart friend, Lysa TerKeurst, we share sticky farm tables, crazy families, a Jesus passion, the same ministry team at Zondervan — and a willingness to be real and transparently share our own unglued Mama stories…
Want to know how to make different choices? After our webcast together last fall, "Say Yes to God," Lysa and I talked as mamas and Jesus-sisters about "how to make wise choices in the midst of raw emotions" — and it's a privilege to now hold Lysa's vulnerable, helpful book in hand:
"We stuff, we explode, or we react somewhere in between. What do we do with these raw emotions? Is it really possible to make emotions work for us instead of against us?
Filled with gut-honest personal examples and biblical teaching, Unglued will help you make imperfect progress towards resolving conflict in your important relationships…Grateful for my real, brave-honest sister, Lysa, and her help for Mama's everywhere: Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions

A Championship match at Cheltenham College, Gloucestershire's outground
A Championship match at Cheltenham College, Gloucestershire's outground
There is no magic like outground magic
The Saffrons: sometimes a simple name is sufficient to prompt a confection of histories. It is over a century since the orange-yellow crocus noted for its dyeing and medicinal qualities was grown in the fields where Eastbourne's cricketers spend their summers. Yet the gentle beauty of the noun lingers and has now been coupled to a children's nursery, an apartment block and a hotel. "I'm watching cricket at Eastbourne on Sunday," I tell friends. "Oh, you're going to the Saffrons," they reply.
In Eastbourne's long 20th-century heyday there was a cricket week: two three-day county games and, as often as not, matches against the universities or the tourists. This was the ground on which AC MacLaren's personally selected amateur XI defeated Warwick Armstrong's seemingly invincible Australians in 1921, thereby giving Neville Cardus the only scoop of his career. There were important matches being played at The Oval and Leyton at the same time and Cardus' editor felt he should have been covering those. That opinion was strengthened when MacLaren's side was bowled out for 43 on the first day. By the second morning Cardus had sent his luggage to the railway station and was ready to leave; but he stayed instead and watched Aubrey Faulkner make 153. The Australians lost by 28 runs.
The heart of a county's cricket often beats miles away from its headquarters
"At Eastbourne cricket is played to a background of croquet and bowls, old Colonels and straight-backed memsahibs going about their daily ritual, indifferent to the pock of bat on ball and the marauding seagulls," wrote Alan Ross, for whom India and Sussex were twin lodestars and who found his loves united in the batting of Duleepsinhji in the summer of 1932.
And one scarcely has to look to see deeper histories and other aristocracies at Eastbourne. Behind the trees at the Larkin's Field End is the Compton Croquet Club, one of many references in the environs to the estate that owns acres of prime land in the town. The land on which cricket, hockey and soccer are played is still owned by the Duke of Devonshire. Seniors at the club pass on the stories they were told of horse-drawn carriages that set off from the Duke's Compton estate and travelled down the tree-lined Old Orchard Road into town. When I first visited the ground in September 2015 almost the only noise one could hear in the late afternoon was the gentle cracks of mallets on croquet balls. The players were dressed in communion white and moved slowly around the lawns in the soft sunlight of early autumn.

The light for which Eastbourne is famed was in evidence when I returned to the Saffrons this May. It was present in the dazzling white of the bucket seats, the flounce of the marquees and the covers protecting the pitch to be used for the next day's game. Even the pages of my notebook dazzled. It was the light that gave Eric Ravilious both a theme and a context for many of his paintings. "Everything is dazzled or is bleached out," writes Anne Wroe of Eastbourne in her wonderful Six Facets of Light. "A man walking a dog across the lawns becomes a radiant ghost of himself. Teapot, cups and spoons blink blindingly on a table." Or there is David Hare in his play, The Moderate Soprano: "In Sussex, always a feeling of air and light, of the soft Downs beyond."
Eastbourne is an outground. First-class counties visit such venues because they wish to spread their cricket more widely or because their main ground is being used for a Test match or a pop concert. There is no obligation upon officials to use outgrounds, yet Gloucestershire supporters treasure their visits to Cheltenham College and Yorkshire members voted in favour of playing two four-day games at Scarborough. The heart of a county's cricket often beats miles away from its headquarters.
How frequently we are tugged back to the here and then; to Cardus, MacLaren and Duleep; to the gods we worship silently; to the Saffrons in its pomp
I arrived in Eastbourne on the day before the 50-over game against Gloucestershire. At the ground a gaggle of officials was gazing at the pitch with the sort of attention biblical scholars might devote to a Coptic text. Both in the pavilion and beyond the boundary, club members scurried from task to task: busy, bothered, anxious, competent. County cricket was returning to the Saffrons for the first time in 17 years. On hundreds of deckchairs was the slogan "Eastbourne: Breathe It In", accompanied by silhouettes of yachts and gulls on yet another white background. The ground has lost many of the trees it possessed when a famous photograph was taken from the Town Hall in 1929, but beeches and elms still tossed and threshed in the breeze.
In the pavilion the club's chairman, Ian Fletcher-Price, executive and articulate, talked of his pride in bringing county cricket back to the Saffrons after the bad times around the turn of the century when the pitch was not good enough, the club's committee was weak and Sussex were right to leave. He did not want Eastbourne to stretch itself too far by taking on a four-day game. On Larkin's Field, the ground at the back of the pavilion, Eastbourne's second team were taking on Crawley Eagles and a young spinner was having trouble finding his length as the end of the innings approached. "Keep at it, Henry" encouraged a team-mate as another ball disappeared into the trees bordering Saffrons Road. "Poor Henry's full tosses were hit for huge sixers." I had been in Eastbourne about two hours and I was speaking in Betjeman pastiche.

Eastbourne is fortunate. Insofar as a clear trend can be discerned, it is that counties are moving away from outgrounds. Treasurers cite the cost of taking a game away from an HQ and seem oblivious to the less tangible benefits. Yet Glamorgan still play four-day games at Colwyn Bay and Swansea while Kent visit Beckenham and Tunbridge Wells for Championship matches. Some venues, Uxbridge and Richmond for example, are used for T20 games but most counties prefer to play such matches at their main grounds, where the potential income is greater.
For some grounds, it is already too late. The Central Recreation Ground at Hastings is now the site of the Priory Meadow Shopping Centre; the name of the new development is in exquisite contrast to the ugliness of the shops. The only physical reminder that it was once one of Sussex's most precious venues is a sculpture of a batsman playing a hook. We are left with the recollections of others or the photographs: Lord Hawke signing an autograph, Denis Compton, his bat aloft and his hair tousled after he had beaten Jack Hobbs' record of 16 centuries in a season.
The marquees were still thronged with easy affluence. Hugo Boss argued with Ralph Lauren; Abercrombie and Fitch made plans for the following week with Jack Wills
Dover has also gone. The last first-class game played on the Crabble Athletic Ground took place in 1976 and club cricket ceased there in 2003. The famous pavilion and the remnants of the tiered seating now look out on rugby pitches. Those wanting to know what it was like to watch cricket at the Crabble are left with Cardus' rhapsodies on Lancashire's visits. Just as powerfully, perhaps, there is a photograph of Colin Cowdrey going out to bat for Kent in the 1960s. Behind him sit the members, perhaps thinking they have summers and summers of this lovely stuff ahead of them.
Here at Eastbourne, Ian Fletcher-Price need not have worried. The weather was glorious and the corporate hospitality marquees at the Meads Road End clinked and hummed from mid-morning until deep in the evening. Early on, a great woollen shark wandered in front of the press tent. Later in the Sussex innings a wicket fell, and glancing up from a photograph of the blazered Sussex team in 1927, I saw the home side's Laurie Evans ambling across to check something with the analyst after being dismissed for 48. Sweat-stained, spiky-haired and carrying a water bottle, he could have been mistaken for a professional cyclist. So often we are told we must pay attention to the "here and now"; yet how frequently we are tugged back to the here and then; to Cardus, MacLaren and Duleep; to the gods we worship silently; to the Saffrons in its pomp.

Sussex did not score enough runs and dropped too many catches. A target of 241 on a small ground like Eastbourne was never likely to test Gloucestershire's batting and the visitors won with eight balls to spare. The next day's press reports made much of Sussex's failure to accelerate in their later overs. A crowd of 3000 was mentioned, although there seemed to be more folk watching mid-afternoon. The complimentary lines about cricket returning to Eastbourne would have pleased the club's workers as they came to terms with sudden exhaustion.
My train for London did not leave for an hour. Or maybe I just took a later train. The players threw their huge cricket bags on their shoulders and made for home. There were last circuits of the ground. The marquees were still thronged with easy affluence. The battlefield of conviviality was strewn with empty bottles and creased napkins. Hugo Boss argued with Ralph Lauren; Abercrombie and Fitch made plans for the following week with Jack Wills. I turned back again for one last look, and then another. The croquet players were still on the lawn and the Saffrons relaxed in the crystal light of a May evening.

I wonder how many keepers have been spectacle-wearers ?
It is correct; Walcott was playing for LC Stevens' XI. The keeper in the picture is Roy Christiani, playing for the West Indians. The two-day match was drawn; Walcott made 58*.
@Tom On ...I think the wicket keeper is R. Christiani, so Walcott could have been guesting against them in an end of season festival match.
Is the first photo caption correct? Clyde Walcott playing *against* the West Indians? If it is who was he playing for?
So much has been lost to followers of the county game in recent years. Tour matches, festivals, full strength sides competing with their test match players taking a serious part in proceedings etc. The trips to favourite venues such as Bath, Bournemouth, the United Services Ground at Portsmouth, Clarence Park in Weston, to name a few rank amongst the greatest losses to the county game. It's good to hear Eastbourne is making a tentative comeback. Let's hope that others can too in due course.
Lovely read, Paul. Good photographs too. Keep up the good work.
Such a good read. I think the outgrounds still have a huge role to play in county cricket. As a young Worcestershire fan I used to love my visits to Kidderminster for the full 4 days of a county match. You also can't forget the role that Kidderminster played a few years back when the main ground at New Road was flooded! Now a resident in Yorkshire a trip out to the Scarborough Festival is a must. Also lucky enough to have played there a few times. Once was the day after a 4 day match finished and on the same strip...it was like a road still!
Beautiful. Just, beautiful.

Canada is headed to the women's world basketball championships next summer.
Overcoming a buzzer-beating fourth-quarter three-pointer that forced the game into overtime, Canada regrouped to beat Cuba 59-49 on Sunday night and earn a berth in the 2010 worlds in the Czech Republic.
Kaela Chapdelaine had four of her 13 points in the extra five minutes and Canada's stingy defence held Cuba without a field goal for the entire extra session in the dramatic victory.
The up-and-down game saw Canada blow a seven-point halftime lead and trail by six heading into the fourth quarter.
With the game tied 45-45 and less than 10 seconds left, a three-pointer from Kitchener's Chelsea Aubry gave Canada what appeared to be a safe lead but Cuba's Soria Yulizeny drained a dramatic three-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime.
Veteran guard Teresa Gabriele of Mission, B.C., led Canada with 15 points while Chapdelaine had 13, as did Jordan Adams of Overton, Nev.
Having the women qualify for the world championship ends a highly-successful summer for Canada's national team programs.
The men have also qualified for the 2010 worlds, the junior women finished third at their world championships, the junior men finished seventh while the cadet girls and boys also qualified for next year's worlds.

AC Milan manager Inzaghi hands captain's armband to Sulley Muntari for Rossoneris City test

AC Milan boss Fillipo Inzaghi has given a strong indication of his preference for Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari by handing him the captain's armband in their pre-season tournament against English giants Manchester City.Â
The 29-year-old scrolled onto the pitch at the Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, leading the Milan side as they go seeking for their first pre-season win since arriving in the USA.
After sitting out of the four previous games played, Muntari was named in the Milan squad for the first and Inzaghi, who took charge after the departure of Clarence Seedorf, named him as his captain for the game.
In a strong squad that excluded Mario Balotelli and Michael Essien, Muntari is expected to marshal the Rossoneri midfield.

maubs says:July 27, 2014 09:40 pmdisplaying passion and showing your dedication to the cause is always a cherished attitude in professional team sports yet ghana wants a mr quiet AA regardless whether he is up to the job and nyantakyie and; so we reject and resent the outspoken or fiery character choosing instead yes sir massa yes sir massa peopley. AC Miln is a successful institution with turn over of over hundreds of millions of pounds every year. A captain is an important part in the way they operate so if they thought for one minute that sulley was a trouble maker i doubt it very much that they will make him the face of AC Milan on the playing field.Shame on all those whack man's who continue to pour insinuations and castigations on sulley and are even calling for denaturalising of sulley or ban from the national team. Do they know better than AC Milan?Nonsense the problem is with the management, conditioning, preparation, poor communication with players, poor tactics and inability to focus team on the task at hand. These no doubt the things that Sulley was not happy about and what ruined our world cup 2014 capaign.
