Given that Sam Allardyce will take over as manager of Newcastle United next week – we wonder how Big Sam and Freddy Shepherd will do as a working partnership.
Certainly the Sunderland partnership of Roy Keane and Niall Quinn – beginning after Sunderland had lost their first five games of the season (with a resistant Quinn in charge) – four in the league and one in the League cup – has proved to be massively successful.
Roy Keane and Niall Quinn
Did I forget to mention they got promoted as Champions at their first try?
As far as we are concerned – how will Shepherd and Allardyce perform together for Newcastle?
Hopefully very well – but let's take a closer look.
As we know Roy Keane is a strong personality and before he took the job sought guarantees from Quinn that he wouldn't interfere with the playing side of things. Quinn has kept to his word and always supported Keane – particularly in the transfer market – to the tune of bringing in 12 players.
Suffice to say the partnership has been tremendously successful for our rivals south of the Tyne.
Sam Allardyce is also a strong personality though when we look at his record at Bolton he seems to have got on quite well with Bolton chairman Phil Gartside.
Maybe the only negative for Sam at Bolton was not having enough transfer funds to bring in more players and make Bolton even better.
Gartside has recently denied that was the reason Allardyce resigned last week – pointing to last years capture of "world class striker" Nicholas Anelka on August 25th, 2006 for a club record $8M.
Whether it was a problem at Bolton or not that should not be a problem for Allardyce at Newcastle.
Freddy Shepherd and Sam Allardyce
To be fair to Shepherd – (we know that may be a dangerous thing to say) – he has always backed his managers fully – all five of them to date Dalglish, Gullit, Bobby Robson, Souness and Roeder.
His fault if anything is that he often backed them with too much money…..Souness and the $50M he dished out for players of the caliber of Jean-Alain Boumsong and Albert Luque ($18M for the two) immediately comes to mind.
Shepherd has usually left the manager alone to manage the playing side – although there is persistent talk that he has more to do with the transfers than he should.
We brought up Keane and Quinn at the start of this piece because this is the way a football partnership between Manager and Chairman should be – the chairman looks after the financial side of the business and the manager is fully responsible for the playing side – and the results!
If Freddy Shepherd can agree with Big Sam this is the way things will be run – we feel that Allardyce can bring the just rewards Newcastle fans have been waiting close to 40 years for – a trophy.
Just a minute – isn't that what we were saying last year after Roeder's phenomenal run at the end of last season.
Maybe (maybe not) – but hope springs eternal at Newcastle – and someone has to finally bring success to Newcastle – and it may as well be Big Sam – hopefully while some of us are still around.
4 comments so far
At the end of the day, all we can do is wait and see how everything unfolds. I'm just hoping we put out more spirited performances next season. Perhaps not having to play in any European competitions will aid in getting the team's composure back together by not having that stress. I have two main worries so far:
1) I'm aware that while at Bolton, Big Sam probably couldn't buy all the players he liked due to financial constraints but even then, Bolton have a far worse defensive record than the toon and defence is our biggest concern.
2) I'm not too sure how well Oba and Michael will pair up in the front because in the two games that I've seen, it hasn't looked too promising.
Oh well, this test of faith is part of being a Geordie fan.
Big Sam – If you happen to read this, I hope you can bring us a miracle!

Ah, well.
Enter the close of the first day of filming: the momma of a stand in for the lead character drew close to admire L'il Man in my arms. Chatting, chatting, chatting . . .
Seems her daughter had been granted permission to be on set, whilst her brother worked.
The permission relieved her of her normal and customary childcare duties back home.
Keller-man spent a couple of hours yesterday in the care and keeing of a delightful young lady, allowing me to be up close and personal to the action when Israel was in front of the camera.
Delightful for everyone.
However, it would seem that I've added to my already burgeoning brood: not one, not two, but MANY people asked her 'where is your mother?' - referring to me.
Seems we look quite a bit alike. :D
Maybe, for Keller's sake, that's not so bad! :D

Late post sorry, I just finished this card just now. I used the Saturated Canary - Rebecca. I colored her hair and skin and then paper pieced her dress. I used the Prima - Song bird and I added embellishments like WOC and the big flower that you see there I made it myself :) Also, added some rhinestones, tulle and a few die cuts. I hope you like this card that I made.

Hey Christian, you are right back in Sweden from the tour with your actual baby Lord Vicar supporting The Gates Of Slumber. How did things flow?
"Ha! Ha! Its more Peters baby than mine, to be honest...Im more like a bonus parent as they might say in Sweden. but thank You still the same.But yeah, we had a great time, and getting along with them guys was no problem. Most of us knew them since before, anyway, and I found them being very cool people. A couple of years ago, I understand that TGoS/Reverend Bizarre and Centurions Ghost did quite a long tour together, and I truly enjoyed listening to their memories."
But I guess you had a couple of stories to tell as well, but to this we will come later here. You had kind of busy year with Lord Vicar: the release of the debut album in November via Church Within Records last year, then gone on several tours including the Dawn Of Doom Festival in Switzerland, the Doom Shall Rise and Hell's Pleasure OA in Germany, now the shows with TGOS. How did you experience the last year, kept your level of fitness and managed family business alongside? You're no kitten anymore, ha ha!
"Well, THANK YOU for pointing that out! However, I do not FEEL old, just BITTER! Ha, ha! But seriously now, as You say - it has been quite an eventful year in that sense, yes. And looking back at it now...well, time seems to fly these days, in my opinion. And time in between gigs and tours is still just the same of that old everyday bullshit with work and stuff, like it always has been, you know? To try to answer that question...Oh, I dunno. I'm in construction by profession, so having a somewhat physical job is nothing new to me, really. A working class hero is something to be! Furthermore, I'm not the only member with a kid in this band. We all have to adjust and make schematics work for us. For me personally, the financial part can be a burden most times, though. I mean, Im not in this to make the big bucks and that will more than likely never happen anyway. But as with most other people I have a rent and bills to pay. I lose income everyday when not working and to make ends meet financially can be a real bitch at times. But I love doing this and I am doing it for my own mental well being, you know? I would be dying vast inside if I wasn't!"
That's just the way it is. But I think there are many outside, including me, who really appreciate you w/Lord Vicar and other underground bands making music in their kind of rare spare time and pleasing us with remarkable Doom stuff.
"I think there's some kind of symbiosis going on there. Obviously if nobody cared about the band we wouldn't be touring. And for me that is the payment for it all - when people who come to see us get into it and rock out. You can't beat that feeling, really. As You mentioned here earlier, I'm no kitten anymore and I've been doing this for quite a while now. It's such a great feeling when people come up and tell me how much the music I've been involved in means to them.Naturally I have my own heroes as well, so I know where they come from so to speak."
As everybody should know Lord Vicar is originated in Finland, but you are a citizen of Sweden. How do you manage rehearsing and meeting over those distances?
"...Careful planning and a 12-hour ferry ride! Good thing it doesn't happen that often, though. You see, there's like absolutely nothing to do on those trips save from drinking and I try hard not to every time, with minor success I should add. Flying only takes an hour or two, so I should probably look into that as an option in future. It's much easier on the liver if nothing else!"
So you should do, and your liver arrives some hours later, who cares. Maybe you tell us about the future plans with Lord Vicar, the 2nd album, upcoming tours etc.
"In December we will rehearse some new songs for possible single split releases. In February we will play at the Hammer Of Doom III Festival in Würzburg, and I guess a couple of gigs to coincide with that event. Can't tell You where or when though since they aren´t confirmed just yet. Keep an eye open for advertisements, folks! And after that we start rehearsals for the next album I reckon, entitled 'Signs Of Osiris'."
Thanks a lot for this awesome news. Then we will definitely see again at Hammer Of Doom III Festival where you will share the stage with the mighty Saint Vitus! By the way, it's somewhat like a family meeting. Please remember the time you joined Saint Vitus, how did this happen?
"Well, for me it was a fucking dream come true, and I will be the first one to admit it. So, in what must have been about halfway through the recording of the second Count Raven album, "Destruction Of The Void", I read somewhere that Wino had left the band. I had by then gotten to know Messiah Marcolin from Candlemass through Matz Ekstroem, and Messiah and myself were the biggest fans of Saint Vitus in Sweden back then, as far as I know anyway. Our record company then asked me to contact him and ask him if he would be interested in going over there to join them, as he wasn´t in Candlemass anymore. But he already had other plans, so they asked me to go instead. I was not comfortable with the situation in Count Raven at this time, and I was actually about to leave them anyway in favour of PENANCE, who I had some correspondence with there for a while. It never happened, as I was too flattered and tempted by the chance to join one of my absolute favourite bands at the time, so I just went for it...Imagine that! I remember our very first song during rehearsal was "Prayer For The (M)asses", and how could I EVER forget?! Time stood still and I truly F**KING LOVED every second of it! And so I ended up being with them for some three and a half years from then on. It was a true adventure, I learnt a great deal from them guys and that whole period of my life gave me a lot of fun memories. It will be great to check them out in February, and I am also very much looking forward to meet Mark again. When LORD VICAR played the DOOM SHALL RISE festival earlier this year, Wino came to our backstage to say hello. It was great to see him and he has always been cool to me."
But you're definitely a part of their history. Can you still stand listening to your vocal part on "Children Of Doom" (1992), as it sounds kind of different compared to your usual style of singing?
"I never listen to it. As it was, Dave would not have me singing the way I did naturally, because of the obvious Ozzy-comparison I reckon, and it lead me to become really distant to myself and uncomfortably insecure in general. It puzzles me as he obviously knew how I sounded like already, you know? But this is all history now, and I rarely think of it these days, except while given the question during interviews! Ha! ha! In all fairness, I have to say I have moved on a long time ago and I have no problems with him personally today. Sheesh, all this happened when? Some 20 years ago now! And throughout the years I have had a lot of people telling me that they really like it and that it is truly underrated in their opinion, which is fine by me, you know, I'm just not objective enough to feel the same. And for hardcore Vitus fans who dislikes it I reckon it´s very easy to point at the vocals as the main reason why it sounds the way it does. Of course, I'm nothing but a sitting duck in that aspect. But from what I can recall of the production itself it's very different from "Die Healing", for example, which is more what I was after in the first place. But it was never up to me and it is what it is."
...And it will always be! At what point did you generally develop your wish and ability to sing, and I don't speak of squeaking "Da, da, da..." while having a shower, but of those traditional Metal/Doom style vocals you're kind of famous for?
"Uh, I don't know really. It's just the way it comes out. I was in a couple of other local bands before joining STORMWARNING (who became COUNT RAVEN later on) in mid 80´s, and I don't think I adjusted or altered my style all that much from previous bands. It was more a case of the music becoming much heavier and slower. But initially deciding upon thinking that vocals might be the thing for me, I guess could be narrowed down to two things; first off, I could never learn how to play an instrument. I tried to learn how to play the guitar there for a while, with no success at all...and secondly, it's a lot cheaper! Ha! No, it was like this: I used to hang out with an older cousin of mine when I was in my younger teens. His closest friends were playing in a local band called JONAH QUIZZ, and he brought me with him to their rehearsals sometimes. They were really great, very professional. Musically they were a crossing between early Saxon (Denim And Leather - era) and Judas Priest (Screaming...) and their singer sang in Swedish then, later on changing to English as well. Anyway, he became an instant God of mine as I was totally blown away by his voice and presence. I totally worshipped him, and I still do, as he is no doubt the actual real reason why I felt the call of duty in the first place. His name is Johan Längqvist, and he later on ended up singing on the first Candlemass album. He possesses the greatest Metal voice ever coming out of this country, in my opinion, simply brilliant."
Of course, I dig his voice as well. "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" is still one of the biggest releases in Doom history, mainly "Solitude" is such an amazing song causing goose bumps when listening. But I would for god's sake never wish to harm any people with my awful singing voice - it's quite bad, but loud at least! If you had the job to introduce any newcomer to your career, which album of every band having been involved would you recommend and why?
"COUNT RAVEN - "High On Infinity". When I heard it the first time i actually regretted leaving them there for a minute. The overall sound and the songs on there are really good. A fantastic album.
SAINT VITUS - "Mournful Cries". Again, for the sound and the songs on there. Looking Glass, Shooting Gallery, Dragontime...awh, man! The solos in that song, where they are taking turns like that is just pure genius!
TERRA FIRMA - Both the self titled first one and "Harms Way". Sorry, this is not what You wanted but I could not possibly choose just one of them! I love them both just as much. That band and the music we created together marked such a clear turning point in my life. And had You asked me of an era instead of one from each band I've been involved in, I would have said this band.
LORD VICAR - "Fear No Pain". Obviously I'm proud of it and very happy I was asked to participate in this constellation. Gotta love the guys involved, and how much more Doom than this can it get? Feel free to ask me again when next album is recorded! Ha! ha!"
As I know you've several times been trying to and now run another band besides LORD VICAR. This one is called WEEKEND BEAST! Who is it metaphorically and in person?
"The idea for this band came up some time after Terra Firma was no more. Since becoming a parent grants one certain responsibilities, party habits are most often restricted to weekends. Hence the name. I confess my own situation at the time being the sole source for coming up with this phenomenon, as thinking along those lines before my son arrived was unheard of in my book. Ideas for line-up has varied now for the past two years, and only just a few months ago we finally managed to get hold of personal to fill in the spots. Its me on vocals (duh!), Nicky Beast (guit), Kenta Beast (dr) and Brynemo the Bjaerv on bass. Some Death Metal fans might now Brynemo from a band called INQUISITOR, where he played most instruments himself. Musically, as much as I don´t like to label shit but I guess it is unavoidable in print in order to give You an idea of what it sounds like, the general material so far falls under the Stoner/Groove monicker. When You hear it the comparison to Terra Firma will be unavoidable, but this was never even the plan in the first place. It could easily have been a pure Doom metal band had people who I first had in mind joined. In retrospect, I'm kinda glad they didn't, because the feeling we get during rehearsals is fucking out of this world! I am very, very happy with what we do. Pure straightforward relentless sinister stuff. We have a song called "Heimdallr" which I'd say sums up the whole general feeling of the band and music. So maybe we should just release it on a one-sided 7"inch and call it a day! Ha! ha! Seriously, plans are to record the album sometime next year and it's entitled "Skooma Und Panzerwagen". Run while You can!"
So, just to correct my introducing question, the WEEKEND BEAST is your real baby as it was given birth by you. "Skooma Und Panzerwagen" is quite a strange album title. How do those things come together, kind of psychoactive warfare?
"Yeah, guess you can say that. "Skooma" Is taken from the Fantasy RPG "Morrowind", whom both Nicky and I are huge fans of. In the game there is an illegal potion by that name, with drug like effects. We just added "...Und Panzerwagen" because it's cool, and very Heavy Metal."
Yes indeed! But some guys may be bothered by this, kind of provocative as well, isn't it?
"Why? Because it involves a fictional illegal drug option and tanks are mentioned in German? Well, I wouldn't be surprised....Sheesh, it's just Stoner!"
Obviously, I just wanted to know! Who's actually the main song writer in WEEKEND BEAST?
"We have this riffing machine on guitar named Nicky, you see. He just keeps spitting out good stuff at rehearsals and we all elaborate around that. If there is one specific songwriter in the band, I suppose he is the man worthy the title. He just makes the rest of us go off in a variety of musical fireworks! We have so much fun at rehearsals, and the quantity of beer might contribute aswell. It´s a very nice genuine and laidback feeling when we meet. I am very happy with the way things are developing. And I have come up with some of my best vocal melodies as of yet, in my own humble opinion.""
Sounds promising so far, guess there will run two fine releases over us next year, of LORD VICAR and WEEKEND BEAST! Let's now play this childish game: You had been seperated on that lonesome isle and could take just three things of every of the following categories with you! Which albums are worth it?
"I guess ROBIN TROWER - "Bridge Of Sighs", THE MARS VOLTA - "De-Loused In The Comatorium", KATE BUSH - "Hounds Of Love"."
I wouldn`t have thought, but you have to survive! Which three persons would you like to have around you to sweeten the isolation?
"Kate Bush, Tori Amos and whoever's on page three in The Sun tomorrow. They still have that, by the way! If not, the woman known as The Perverted Old Goatess on Myspace. And as much as I love him I suppose I should've said my son here, but that would not be fair - he´d have nowhere to go when his parent rebellion phase comes!"
That's true, sustaining puberty on that isle would be kind of dreadful. Since there would come the time you have to share Kate, Tori or the Goatess as well, ha ha, to say nothing of unavoidable turf wars! Which three tools do you definitely need there?
"I Know, Huh? And He Looks Better Than Me Already! ...A hammer, A saw, and a tire wrench!"
The saw I understand, but a hammer and that tire wrench?
"…to open the coconuts. The tire wrench just to figure out how it may be useful."
Maybe you find some lost screws & nuts for constructing an amphibian vehicle or anything else to get off that isle, as a couple of men, including the Doom community, would miss you. Thanks a lot for spending your time to answer my questions. See you in Würzburg at Hammer Of Doom Festival part three. Doom! …any last words?
"Yeah... if I was on a deserted isle with the women mentioned I would throw that tirewrench as far away as I possible could! Thank you for the conversation, Good Man and See all You Shiny Doomy People in February! Ta - ta!"

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) The Ottawa Senators have signed goaltender Andrew Hammond to a $4.05-million, three-year contract.
Hammond, whose spectacular late-season run got the Senators into the playoffs, will make $1.2 million next season, $1.35 million in 2016-17 and $1.5 million in 2017-18.
Nicknamed the ''Hamburglar,'' he will count $1.35 million against Ottawa's salary cap over the length of the deal.
Hammond made his first NHL start at age 27 in January, then went 20-1-2 with a 1.79 goals-against average and .941 save percentage to lead the Senators on an improbable run to the playoffs.
With Hammond signed, the Senators are expected to trade either Craig Anderson or Robin Lehner before the start of next season.

text: DaveJ Posted November 10, 2011 We have three sets of the KYB-RACING lower fork leg assemblies coming in within the next few days. These are hard to get so we don't get them very often. These are brand new fullly assemblied lower fork legs, made by KYB-Japan, with lugs and bottom out cones and springs bearings. DLC coating (not black chrome or TinN) on the lower tube. Lugs are anodized. Not sure if the lugs are TYPE II or TYPE III. No returns or core charges...of course. Price per fork leg is $440, so $880 for the pair, plus shipping. I think one set is already spoken for. Payment required at the time the order is placed with us. I'll post some photos once they come in.

Early Bimstec pact will spur regional trade: Study
New Delhi, July 22 (IANS) An early Free Trade Agreement (FTA) among the seven Bimstec nations around the Bay of Bengal would spur trade and enhance connectivity in the region, a study by an industry body said on Thursday.
"The FTA has to be signed soon by the seven member-countries to operationalise the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (Bimstec), an international organisation, representing Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bhutan and Nepal," the study by Association Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Assocham) flagged.
Though the South Asia and South East Asia regional bloc (Bimstec) came into being in July 2004, trade negotiations remained inconclusive as other instruments had overtaken them.
"Members of Bimstec have been struggling to negotiate a FTA over a decade by other instruments, which gained precedence," said Preeti Saran, secretary (east) in the external affairs ministry, after releasing the study.
The study was jointly released by Saran and Bangladesh state minister for foreign affairs Shahriar Alam at the seventh Assocham-Bimstec business forum here.
"Even as we strive to open our borders to free trade in goods. I think the potential for the future lies in investments in the services sector," said Saran.
An early trade pact will also activate production links among member countries and help in rationalising non-tariff measures.
"What Bimstec needs is handholding and leadership to harness these resources for its own good," noted the study of the Assocham.
The study also found that there was no need to liberalise trade and investment measures in services considering the lack of physical infrastructure in the region.

http://errors.ubuntu.com, was creating uninformative retraces[1] or
failing to retrace some crashes that shouldn't. While the problem has
been resolved, by an update of apport and using a backport of the Xenial
version of gdb, it's likely there are problem buckets in the Error
Tracker that could use retracing again. While I'm working on a way to
programatically identify these situations, this is also a process I can
manually force so if you run into a problem bucket[2] that you think we
should try retracing again please let me know.
[1] An example of a successful retrace that's uninformative
[2] These should only be from Wily or Xenial since we previously used a
Vivid version of gdb.

Most of the time I will be using strobes or studio lighting to control the environment around my subject. I operate at the lowest possible ISO (asa) and tend to expose slightly to the right if shadows are heavy to reduce any noise later. However I borrowed an old Nikon F series camera with a combined light meter prism bit on it. Unlike my handheld light meter or my DSLR with spot metering I was only able to take an average for the entire scene. I didn't think much of it since I was in a hurry to test out the camera but the results it produced on Ilford FP4 125asa film were interesting. Specifically the shadows contained a lot more grain than I expected and due to my over all metering the shots had a slight under exposure which obviously made the shadows deeper.
Although it's not a look I would use on any commercial shoot, and until now one I have actively tried to avoid, I still think it has a kinda cool aesthetic.
Here are some of the shots for you guys to have a look at. So let me know your opinion on film grain.
Does it make shadows more textured and interesting? OR is it a distraction that should be avoided?
(All shot on Nikon F series SLR with 50mm f2 lens using Ilford 125 FP4)

Confessions of My Preferences Between Super Sentai and Power Rangers Moments
There's always a matter of opinion of people whatever they like better. In fact, I guess some people who read my blog constantly are probably still liking Power Rangers more or equal to Super Sentai. I'll just share my moments of Power Rangers and Super Sentai which will include me revealing my biases. Relax, no PR bashing here unlike them unfair haters who constantly whine and defend one to be better by unethical means. Moving on... here's my confessed biases:
I would admit my liking Super Sentai over Power Rangers tends to be ridden with cultural preference. After reading what UkiyaSeed wrote why Power Rangers isn't fake, I do agree with him on cultural preferences being the reason why Power Rangers exist. Being pretty much Asian and descended from Hokkien and Cantonese lineage and due to cultural upbringing, I end usually preferring mostly Asian shows over American shows no questions asked about that. So pretty much, I like Power Rangers to a certain extent but Super Sentai is what I like better though I tend to get on/off with them both in one way or another. =P
Music can be a reason why I like Super Sentai better. I would admit I personally find Power Rangers' soundtrack to be "generic" though I do like the opening theme of MMPR which sadly got rehashed probably due to laziness, Lightspeed Rescue and Time Force. For me, Super Sentai music is really that great but as of late, not really. Then again, maybe it's my cultural bias which you are free to think that it is.
I would probably credit another source of my personal bias is the story and execution and not always because Super Sentai came first and is Power Rangers' parent. For example, I like Zyuranger better than MMPR Season 1 because of its story and execution. On the other hand, I like Power Rangers Time Force because of its rather eye opening mutant vs. human war which was NOT in Timeranger (so Time Force fans who are now planning to watch Timeranger, keep that in mind). As I said, I really tend to like intense stories but can be too paranoid over anything that goes overly depressing (ex. Kamen Rider Faiz is one show that I really want not to rewatch). People probably know I'd rather watch PR Time Force over Kamen Rider Den-O.
On the shallow side of mine, I tend to like Super Sentai more than Power Rangers most of the time because the girls are hotter. Now that's the stupid reason everybody knows too well about me! =P

No brakes please, this is breaking news
Oh, such a joy to be standing on the shore of a sea of unblinking believers. Belief, I believe, can push us into territories where reason fears to tread. Amitava Sanyal tells more.columns Updated: Aug 25, 2010 18:29 IST
Oh, such a joy to be standing on the shore of a sea of unblinking believers. Belief, I believe, can push us into territories where reason fears to tread. Faith can move mountains, part seas, cure incurable ailments. It can also make India TV the undisputed leader in a market as cut-throat as television news.
The channel that was born just before the last general elections has shot past all comers much before the nation gets to know the name of the next prime minister. While scratching your chin over this phenomenon, you must consider that unlike its competitors India TV doesn't boast of celebrity anchors (except their thin-lipped and thinner-haired chairman) or smart graphics (what graphics?).
Now consider the impact — and not just on the television rating points. After the channel put out the 'news' early last September that the world would end a few days later when the Large Hadron Collider was to be switched on, all the neighbours of a colleague's maid had come out on the streets of their basti at the declared hour to "face" their maker.
To some, it may be entertainment as news; to many others, it's news as entertainment. They lace non-fiction (hard news) with fictional tropes as much as they make fiction (gaseous garbage) into news. That's the winning formula.
You may well ask why am I still on the shore of this sea. That's because I do not have satellite TV at home. Awright, now that you know my little secret, may we please watch some classic India TV online?
The other side of 26/11
When everyone else was looping the same video over and over while the siege of 26/11 was playing out, India TV stood apart. The channel suffered when its 'exclusive' call from a supposed terrorist named Babar turned out to be a hoax. But it sprung back the next day with this video saying that the pigeons outside the Taj Hotel in Mumbai were feeling lonely because no one was looking after them. Talk about timing!
How to get a flatscreen
This is citizen journalism at its logical extreme. Under its popular programme 'Alert Viewer', India TV gets clips ranging from supercrowded trains to praying under a Mahua tree (don't ask why), and the winning contributor gets a TV. This slip, that shows a dog riding pillion on a bike, was last May's winner. More than the visual, it's the imagery conjured up by the voice-over that stuns. So much made with so little.
Voyeuring to the end
This is not the first time death has been shown on live TV. When respected Keralite Leftist M.N. Vijayan had a heart attack at a press conference in October 2007, many TV channels aired the video. It was indeed a stunning event. But in characteristic fashion, India TV put the clip of the old man slipping away from the mikes on an endless loop. They repeated the treatment when a bomb in Sri Lanka went off on camera.
Fact and fiction
It's not just reporting news in a sensational fashion that's India TV's forte (using fictional tropes in non-fiction). It's equally about making up 'news' where none exists (pure fiction). Hence we have seen a UFO sucking up a cow from the ground, or a stairway to heaven (literally, in the Himalayas) where mobile phones work. Watch this 'talking, blinking' picture of the Sai Baba that kept audiences rapt for an evening.

New Lynn or Two Lynns?
To The Item Editor:
Assuming Mayor Judith Flanagan Kennedy's comments about a billion dollars in development on the waterfront is true, it is likely that, before too long, Lynn's waterfront will become the site of one or more major developments. This is true for two reasons: The land is the cheapest waterfront land north of Boston and close to the city, and Lynn has already invested a lot of time and money to move the power lines to make further investment more attractive.
The likely building of a casino in nearby Revere — or even in Everett — only enhances Lynn's opportunities. This will present an opportunity to change our city for the better unlike any in our history. We cannot miss this opportunity.
Lynn today is the employment basket case of the North Shore. The recent study released by the New Lynn Coalition and the discussion with over 150 Lynners and most of our elected representatives at the Lynn Museum drew a stark picture of crumbling schools, poverty level jobs, sinking incomes, a continuing foreclosure crisis, backlogs for inadequate job training, and veterans and ex-offenders frozen out of even the thousands of minimum wage jobs that exist in the employment wasteland. No matter where you live in the city, the chilling question is the same: where will my children work?
To call the above picture a "good business climate" as the Mayor did in the Aug. 1, 2013 Item cover story is hard to fathom. To say that it is not government's job to address this jobs crisis is preposterous. Why anyone would be proud of our situation, where Lynn family income has dropped at a faster rate than any of the surrounding areas, is beyond comprehension.
We have many hard-working and dedicated elected officials. They need to address the above picture with concrete proposals to create GOOD jobs. Why else do we elect representatives to our government?
A glittering waterfront tower or two, built by tax-evading construction firms who hire from out of state, will not address the crisis. A development where the only role of today's Lynners is to scrub the floors, serve the meals, and change the sheets for today's minimum wage of $8 an hour will not address the crisis. This is a recipe for two Lynns, separate and unequal.
A minimum wage that is gradually raised to $11 an hour and indexed in the future to inflation would help. Unionized jobs where democracy is extended to the workplace, and Lynners of all backgrounds are hired, would help. A simple "linkage" agreement which would commit large-scale developers to contribute to end the desperate lack of funding for job training so Lynners can find employment in growing fields like healthcare, construction and skilled manufacturing, will help. These steps, already implemented in many other forward-looking cities, will make development work for Lynn workers and small businesses.
We are glad to read that the mayor is supportive of creating machinist jobs and training. We are too and look forward to working together toward that common aim.
These common sense approaches will help us build a new Lynn, not two Lynns.

President, New Lynn Coalition

The "B & D" trademark represents Beardmore & Dawson, Longton, England, who were established in 1863 but were in operation for only four months.
This wonderful twelve-sided serving bowl is the Ontario, Lake Scenery pattern in medium to dark blue color. The wide borders are divided into seven cartouches with scrolls and branches of flowers against a lined background. The central motif is composed of mountains, trees, flowers, waterfalls, a castle, men and women dressed in Victorian attire and what appears to be several Indian teepees. For many people this Canadian scene of Lake Ontario is a subject of controversy. The bowl measures 10 1/4" across and 2" in depth. There are no cracks, chips or repairs; several tiny glaze nicks on the edge. A great pattern and rare maker.

Women who smoke during pregnancy raise the risk their baby will develop a severe, potentially life-threatening illness of the bowel if the infant is born prematurely, a new study suggests.
The disease, necrotizing enterocolitis, is the most common gastrointestinal emergency in premature infants, according to HealthDay. The disease destroys tissue that lines the baby's intestinal walls. An estimated 7 to 10 percent of American infants develop the disease.
While it is not known what causes the disease, many factors have been implicated, including bacterial infection, formula feeding and mechanical ventilation, the article notes.
The new study included 73 infants who were hospitalized for necrotizing enterocolitis. The researchers evaluated a number of factors including the mother's smoking, blood pressure, weight, age and whether they had diabetes. They found maternal cigarette smoking was the only factor that was linked to an increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis.
The study appears in the journal Pediatrics.

Grow Me a Garden—In Anything
left: Blogger MrBrownThumb suggests choosing bright, loud-colored pots for foliage plants that may not flower in the spring or summer. Here, an aloe looks majestic in an azure blue planter. right: A hollowed out stump, like this one from MrBrownThumb, makes for an interesting, natural container.
With the ever-growing emphasis on being green, buying local, and eating fresh, it's not just farmer's markets that have been enjoying a boost. While maintaining a garden in one's backyard has long been a popular suburban pursuit, urban dwellers have been getting in on the action. Container gardening is exploding, with blogs and TV shows urging enthusiasts along the way.
Even if you have a yard, planting in containers is a smart way to start. They make it easy to move plants around to capture or avoid the sun, or if you just want a change of scenery. When summer blossoms fade, you can replant them with hearty fall flowers, or drag them indoors if you've got a sunny window. And if you already have plants indoors, housing them in portable containers makes it easy to put them outside come spring.
left: Interior designer Kelly Hoppen places a trio of clear glass planters on a dining table. Next time you receive a flower delivery, re-use the glass container as a planter or terrarium.
Most importantly, container gardens can be quite low maintenance. Dirt du jour blogger Cindy McNatt says, "When I think of container gardens, I think easy. Succulents can take a few weeks of neglect when I'm off in the High Sierras looking for wildflowers or hiking the high mountain lakes. Kitchen herbs can go days without attention when I'm busy doing other things."
left: Dirt du jour blogger Cindy McNatt suggests using a birdbath as a planter. The height lets trailing varieties go the distance. right: Red and yellow succulents, like these shown on Dirt du jour, provides a burst of color without the hassle of finicky blooms.
While we love getting our hands dirty and enjoy the resulting riot of color, what really interests us is how creative we can get with container gardening. Container garden designer Lyndsay Maver of Boston-based Lynzariums echoes our thinking, saying, "I like to think I can plant in anything." We've curated a creative mix of images showcasing container gardens in everything from a fancy French fauteuil to a rustic, pitted, wooden shovel. As for what we found on eBay, the possibilities were endless. But first, a few tips to get you going:
1. Find out what growing zone you live in (there are 11 in North America), so you can choose appropriate plants.
2. You'll also need to consider how much sun and shade you can provide. (More on this below.)
An old wooden shovel serves as a mini succulent garden, by Lynzariums.
3. Chose your container based on the type of plant you want to grow. Or vice versa. Plants should not be more than twice the height of the container or more than half its width. If you choose trailing plants, you might like some extra height. Or, depending on the plant, you might be able to train it around a balcony railing.
4. Drainage is crucial. The first one to two inches of the container should be lined with gravel. Maver says, "I always use lots of layers of rocks, shells and natural materials so the plants are not sitting, drowning in wet dirt."
5. Use potting soil, preferably a type that includes fertilizer, though if you feed your plants regularly, they'll likely grow better.
Lyndsay Maver of Lynzariums layers all sorts of found natural materials to ensure ample drainage.
6. Don't leave containers in full sun all day, even if those little plastic instruction sticks that come with the plants indicate as such. Containers heat up more quickly than the ground.
7. If you're using a container, you'll also need to water more often, since plant roots in containers are not as deep as those grown in the ground, which can naturally search for moisture.
8. If you decide to put more than one variety in a single container, select plants that call for the same amounts of sun, water, and food. If one plant dies, just replace it with another.

31 Super Contra (J).7z
Super Contra (スーパー魂斗羅 エイリアンの逆襲 Sūpā Kontora: Eirian no Gyakushū?, "Super Contra: The Alien Strikes Back") is a run and gun video game by Konami originally released as a coin-operated arcade game in 1988.
Commandos Burn, Smith, Beans and Iron are a special forces team who have seen more than their fair share of action. Neo City is their post, now that a terrorist group known as D.N.M.E. is bombarding its citizens with a typhoon of a crime wave. The C-Force has been asked to stop them, no matter what. Take command solo or team up with a comrade in 2-player mode. Even if you go it alone, you can call on a backup soldier for spot support. Tap into your special forces training to devise unique battle plans and attack patterns, select weapons, and decide which soldier's individual strengths are best suited for the dirty deeds going down. You can switch commandos whenever the situation calls for it. Endure all 5 grueling missions, swarming with traps and terrorists, that take place in a warehouse, on a battleship, at a construction site, aboard a helicopter, and at C-Force headquarters. Encounter secret passageways, hidden rooms, aerial angle views and more. Every man is a walking arsenal with heavy-duty weaponry including rocket launchers, flame throwers, bazookas, rifles, land mines and time bombs. This mission is no cakewalk, but if it was, they wouldn't have given it to you. Hit it with all you've got!
