On Liberty
One might ask why Marcus should choose to share the following rather personal information on the Interweb. I can only say that it further defines me and also can be a comforting pointer to others in my situation.
Who Can You Trust?
Somewhat early in life Marcus became sure that it was an error of the gravest proportion to take the words of my parents as in any way factual without verification.
Now today in 2016 this verification would be easy with tools such as Google and the wider Internet. Then, back before you could spell Arpanet: not so easy. But the path to self knowledge at an early age is a stony uphill one, it's along the lines of Descartes Cogito Ergo Sum
I did however fall in like with John Stuart Mill (JSM) a philosopher whose pushy childhood upto the age of just 8 and even Birthday seemed to have an uncanny resonance with young Marcus.
In later life I even studied JSM at University Level where the resonance was cemented and especially because of course I was supposed to be studying, writing and excelling in Engineering not Philosophy. Like Mill in later life it was good to exercise my mind studying a passion I could choose instead of one that I could not.
I'm rambling onward to say that I recommend IMHO his greatest work
On Liberty
to all troubled yet thinking souls and as my starter for 10 his famous classification of self regarding and other regarding actions.
Thanks for reading this, now how about some JSM?

I & B Ministry has made its strategic plan for the next five years which is placed on Ministry's Website. In the SWOT analysis carried out by the Ministry there are more 'Weaknesses' than 'Strengths'. Also, The solutions given or the actions to be implemented are more of a paper work which gets repeated every five years rather than some solid points on which action can be taken. Most of the planning pertains to the Public Broadcasters who, in any case spend more and output less. We are yet to see their projects of DTT & Mobile TV started many years ago, taking off for the masses. Their HD project started during CW Games although operational, is hardly visible because of dearth of FTA HD STBs and high cost of HDTVs. I Don't think any content is being produced in HD by Doordarshan.
IBF, the apex body of Television broadcasters has finally come up with its self regulatory mechanism forming a Broadcasting Content Complaint Council (BCCC) headed by a former Chief Justice of Delhi High Court. The only hitch is that less than fifty broadcasters out of 600 plus are members of IBF and some of them are news broadcasters who are not governed by these self regulations as NBA the News Broadcasters Association has made the self regulatory code for them and also has its own complaint redressal committee.
Regional broadcasters have also formed their association recently as they don't wish to align with IBF. Here again, the body has come up because broadcasters don't appear government to interfere in their affairs and the government does not have the courage to pull up this powerful lobby. Many of them are active politicians or support a political party.
Announcement of digitalization deadlines by the Ministry has brought in some positive results. Major MSOs like DEN, Hathway, DIGICable and InCable have started planning to invest in value added services, high definition and broadband. Hope the government does not slow down once again in supporting the industry.
A task force has also been made headed by the Additional Secy. to chalk out a road map for digitalization and also resolve various issues to expedite the process. The task force had its first meeting recently and things appear to be moving in the right direction.
Television Media is very busy these days as a number of TRP attracting events have occured in the recent past. World Cup, IPL, Osama's death, Royal Wedding all were a boon to the News Channels.

A birthday is one of the most important events in a person's life. And to make your friend or family relative truly happy on their day, you can throw a surprise party for them.
Organizing a surprise birthday party does not need to be filled with fuss and other dilemmas. You can organize it the way you organize usual birthday parties—but with the element of secrecy.
Here are some tips that will help make your plans work:
Plan it in advance
Surprise parties may require a longer preparation time, especially if you are planning to gather more than 20 people. The first thing you should do is organize a meeting or planning session at least two weeks in advance. Make sure that some of the celebrator's closest friends and family members are involved.
Have a theme
For the surprise birthday party to be interesting, there should be a story. There should be a theme. The theme may depend on the likes and interests of the celebrator. Does he love Star Wars? You can all dress up as Jedi masters! Is she a fan of Harry Potter? The invitations may look like a Hogwarts acceptance letter. Does the birthday boy or girl love roller coasters? Perhaps do it at Cliff's Amusement Park.
While in the planning stage, delegate tasks to make sure that everything will flow smoothly on the day of celebration. You can assign people to work on the following: food, drinks, location, entertainment, invitations, and decorations. Have everyone provide financial contributions so that the expenses will not be a problem. More importantly, you should come up with a contingency plan—just in case something unexpected happens.
Follow this guide if you want the surprise birthday party for a friend or a loved one to be a success. You may choose to work with planners and suppliers, especially if you are planning something big.

Currently I'm a librarian and before that I was an archaeologist, a journalist, and definitely a bit of a world traveler. I tend to mostly read science fiction and fantasy, though I do love a good mystery and I'm a bit of a book dabbler overall. I've been doing Goodreads for awhile, but a friend thought I might enjoy this as well. Let's see, yeah?
I really loved this book.
The set-up sounded interesting -- a teenaged girl has an argument with her father and gets out of the car, wakes up in an alley, and finds out that five years have passed. She doesn't seem to have aged and everyone else has moved on with their lives.
What I didn't realize is how intense the book would feel to me. I loved everything about it -- from the thriller and mystery aspects as Kyra tries to discover what happened and feels stalked by mysterious people to the emotional aspects of dealing with all the changes with her friends and family. She may intellectually understand that five years have passed, but it still feels like it was just a night and that is tough. Derting makes it all feel so real. I even rather enjoyed the instalove thing. That usually drives me batty, but the two of them just seem to work together so well despite numerous issues that should make it strange or even a little bit icky feeling. I suppose I also can't help but enjoy a relationship where someone is really to care about and respect someone no matter what issues there are.
I don't really want to talk about the plot too much because I don't want to explore any of the excitement -- there is plenty that you'll probably figure out ahead of time, but in that way that makes you feel like, "Poor Kyra! You just aren't getting a break..." and not in a "Geez, why do you have to be so dumb? Can't you see this?!"
I noticed that some of the reviews on Goodreads had issues with the level of description in the novel -- as in, they thought it had too much. Me, I thought it was the perfect amount. I felt grounded in the real world -- something I needed as the book takes a left turn into the unknown. The language was simple, yet beautiful.
I'd love to hear what you think of the book if you give it a shot!

IMMOFINANZ: a time capsule for Nimbus, numerous images and four signatures21.05.2013 | Poland
Last week the cornerstone was laid for the IMMOFINANZ office building Nimbus in Warsaw. More than 80 guests accepted the invitation to Jerozolimskie Avenue 98.
The foundation document was signed by IMMOFINANZ CEO Eduard Zehetner, investor, Franz Scheibenecker, managing director of Porr Bau, architect Marek Tryzybowicz, and priest Henryk Bartuszek, who gave the blessing.
For all those who aren't building experts (it was also a debut for me): what happens when a foundation stone is laid?
This is a ceremony to dedicate the foundation stone for a new building. Embedded within it is a so-called "time capsule", which, in addition to the aforementioned document, contains items from the time - at Nimbus these were two dailies from 16 May 2013 as well as numerous coins. Then the foundation stones are generally embedded into the foundation area.
And what does the foundation document say?
We, the undersigned state hereby that the Foundation Act for NIMBUS office building was signed and laid, and that its construction site was blessed on Thursday 16 May 2013 in Warsaw.
NIMBUS, standing out for its modern shape, state-of-the-art technologies and functional space, will be built in accordance with sustainable development standards, which reflects the investor's commitment to the protection of the natural environment.
NIMBUS is developed by IMMOFINANZ Group, designed by Bose International Planning and Architecture and build by Porr Polska as the general contractor for the project.
We hope that NIMBUS will be an important feature enhancing growth of the new business district that has emerged in the area of Jerozolimskie Avenue.
The laying of the Foundation Act is confirmed by the undersigned:
Dr. Eduard Zehetner, CEO IMMOFINANZ
Dr. Franz Scheibenecker, Managing Director Porr Bau GmbH
Marek Tryzybowicz, Principal Architect Bose International Planning and Architecture

Over the past few days(months, actually), I've been perplexed by the million-dollar question : What is the purpose of my life? What was I born to accomplish?
Well, if I knew the answer outright,
a) I'd be God
b) I wouldn't be so perplexed !
There's also the view that there is no such thing as purpose. And that we are here, so we might as well enjoy what's on offer.
The thiest in me refuses to believe this,though. Everything in the world is part of a grand plan by The One, and every leaf moves as per His will. However, that does not imply inaction - only selfless action.
Several self-help gurus have provided their points of view via their books/websites and blogs. Robin is one of them. James Allen is another, and his all-time classic 'As A Man Thinketh' is worth a million reads.
But guru or no guru, it boils down to coming as close to the answer as possible. One blog written by an award-winning scholar suggested that I randomly write out words for 20 minutes, and when I finally write out the words that make me cry, I'd have just written out my purpose.
I tried out the exercise, but it just made me fall asleep.
It has come to the point where I evaluate each day to see whether this has got me any closer to what God wants me to accomplish in this lifetime.
These days there is a lot of stagnation at work, and the feeling of being obsolete is so on-your-face that one can't ignore it. Maybe going back to school will help. If not anything else, it will open up a whole new avenue of responsibilities !
One thing that has helped is the Bhagavad Gita. It has all the advice any human being needs, at any point of time in life. Gandhiji attributes his success to it.
I'm nowhere close to the answer to my question. But one thing I do know - nothing beats the joy that comes by service to others.
The security guards at work are being taught spoken English. This morning, I helped one of them speak his first correct sentence in English.
The smile he gave me was priceless.

"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows." Mark 13:8 (KJV)
Yesterday, a friend wrote to me that the New Madrid Fault line had a small earthquake. It was 3.1 on the Richter Scale, and 7 miles deep. Now, I know that sounds insignificant. But I thought that the readers should know the history behind New Madrid fault zone.
Most Americans expect the next great earthquake in the United States to come on the west coast.
But what if it strikes right down the middle of the country instead? The New Madrid fault zone is six times larger than the San Andreas fault zone in California and it covers portions of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. Back in 1811 and 1812, a series of absolutely devastating earthquakes along the New Madrid fault zone opened very deep fissures in the ground, caused the Mississippi River to run backwards in some places, and were reportedly felt as far away as Washington D.C. and Boston.
RELATED ARTICLE-BREAKING NEWS: US West Coast Earthquake Warning as Cascadia Subduction Zone Surges
They were the strongest earthquakes ever recorded east of the Rocky Mountains, and scientists tell us that it is only a matter of time before we experience similar quakes. In fact, the U.S. Geological Survey has admitted that the New Madrid fault zone has the "potential for larger and more powerful quakes than previously thought", and the number of significant earthquakes in the middle part of the country has more than quintupled in recent years. Someday, perhaps without any warning, an absolutely massive earthquake will strike the New Madrid fault. Thousands of Americans will die, tens of thousands of structures will be completely destroyed, and millions of people will find themselves homeless.
I read this piece this morning from a Missouri website which tracks movement on the New Madrid:
"An updated USGS report says the New Madrid Seismic Zone has a larger
range of potential earthquake magnitudes than previously imagined.
Emergency Management Agency director Jeff Shawan said the report and others like it paint a grim picture of life in Southeast Missouri if the New Madrid monster quake occurs.
"If we have a cataclysmic event in the New Madrid Fault, Butler County will be severely affected," Shawan said. "Eastern Butler County is part of the liquefaction zone, and we know the destruction there will be extreme. However, destruction in western Butler County will be significant as well."[1] – source

From Freedom Outpost:
Once upon a time, North America almost divided along a very deep subsurface rift. Today, that rift system and the faults associated with it are known as the New Madrid fault zone. This fault zone is six times larger than the San Andreas fault zone in California and it covers portions of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. Back in 1811 and 1812, four of the largest earthquakes in U.S. history struck that area of the country. The movement of the ground was so powerful that it changed the course of the Mississippi River and it rang church bells in Boston, Massachusetts.
ALSO READ–WARNING CONTENT:Watch & Pray! IT'S END TIMES. Jerusalem Third Temple also Begins!
Back in 1811 and 1812, there were four earthquakes along the New Madrid fault zone there were so immensely powerful that they are still talked about today.
Those earthquakes opened deep fissures in the ground, caused the
Mississippi River to run backwards, and were reportedly felt more than
1,000 miles away. It is said that the stench of fire and brimstone hung
in the air for months afterwards. The most powerful of this series of
quakes was on December 16th, 1811. The following is one description of
what happened on that day…
This powerful earthquake was felt widely over the entire eastern United States. People were awakened by the shaking in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Charleston, S.C. Perceptible ground shaking was in the range of one to three minutes depending upon the observer's location. The ground motions were described as "most alarming and frightening" in places like Nashville, Tenn., and Louisville, Ky. Reports also describe houses and other structures being severely shaken, with many chimneys knocked down. In the epicentral area the ground surface was described as being in great convulsion, with sand and water ejected tens of feet into the air — a process called liquefaction.
Recommendations by the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection offer the following tips that all residents take three simple preparedness steps: Get a kit, make a plan, and stay informed".* Learn how to protect your family and your home,in major crisis.
So could such an earthquake (or worse) strike today? Well, last year the U.S. Geological Survey released a report that warned that the New Madrid fault zone has the "potential for larger and more powerful quakes than previously thought", and the USGS also admits that the number of significant earthquakes in the middle part of the country has more than quintupled in recent years.
RELATED ARTICLE–DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS: Obama Ordered CIA To Train ISIS .Why The CIA Created ISIS?
We also know that the U.S. government and large corporations are so concerned about the potential for a major New Madrid earthquake that they have held major exercises that simulate one. Scientists tell us that it is just a matter of time until another superquake hits the region, and personally I am one of the millions of Americans that believe that we will eventually see a New Madrid earthquake that will divide the United States in half. That is one of the reasons why I included a New Madrid earthquake in my novel.
But others are skeptical. They point out that we have not seen a truly devastating earthquake in that region for more than 200 years. So why be concerned about one now?

Retention at Colleges and Universities
Many students join institutions of higher education very enthusiastic of what the end of their training will bring. Many begin to imagine of the good jobs they are bound to get upon coming out of the institutions. Institutions of higher learning have the challenge to keep this fresh group of students go through the courses they have enrolled for successfully till completion.
Many learning institutions face a lot of challenges with new students. These students come on board to learn or undertake different courses with different expectation of the college, the learning experience, the activities in the college or universities and even the kind of lifestyle while in college. When these expectations are not met, these students react differently.
Some students adjust to the real life in the institutions while others drop off. As a learning institution, it becomes so difficult to plan well when students come and drop off due to many reasons. The student expectation is challenge which institutions of higher learning must face and handle well. Many students come to the colleges and universities having done some research and have interacted with other students in other places. They come knowing what they expect and when to expect them. These expectation partly also emerge from the marketing words which the institution had used and which are not attainable under the current institutional economic condition.
Student drop outs from colleges and universities is a major issue which institutions of higher learning must embrace themselves to solve. A lot of scholars have carried out research to establish how institutions of higher learning can better their retention ration amidst this challenge which exists in all major institution.
Faculty Improvement
According to Barefoot (2005) in their research entitled, Achieving and Sustaining Institutional Excellence for the First Year of College, institutions of higher learning should aim at creating an environment of excellence especially for first year students and work on sustaining that excellence. To achieve this, institutions should have certain characteristics. Characteristics of Institutional Excellence for the First- Year Experience
The first characteristic is that the institution should bear the responsibility of first-year student performance. This should be treated with high priority so that the student drop out experienced in the first year is managed.
The second thing the institutions of higher learning should is to offer leadership; where leading is operating on different levels offering essential support to this community of students. This can be achieved through student leadership, class representative leadership, and head of school and so on. All these leaders when they work together, they will offer the support to all the students.
The third thing is the culture nurtured. The culture that promotes creativity and innovation, experimentation and project piloting will encourage and motivate students to participate and integrate quicker with the life in the institution.
The institution should design some activities geared towards achieving excellence in first year students. This is another activity which institutions of higher learning should do. These activities should include assessment to ensure the institution is progressing positively and also improving in excellence.
Institutions should also have direct involvement of institutions faculties, paying attention to pedagogy in the first year courses and use of financial resources in a creative acquisition.
Advising Of Students
The University of Texas System in their2004 research study titled recommendations from the task force on student mental health and safety concluded that that institutions should institute behavioural intervention teams (BIT) which responds to student needs. The work of BIT should include: collecting information about students of concern like issues such threats to students which may become violent, evaluating the information received about each case in a more methodical manner to establish the best effective response, developing a plan of response to cases and implementing the plan and seeing the feedback. Through this BIT, students will get advice and support system adequate to enable them identify with the institution.
Swecker, H.K., Fifolt, M., Searby, L. (2013) identified 12 validated risk factors in their study "Academic Advising and First- Generation College Students: A Quantitative Study on Student Retention" that increase student drop out of colleges and universities which all the institutions must deal with to curb drop outs. Factors such uneven formal academic knowledge and skills, lack of informal knowledge on being a student in a college, deficiency in development of self-regulation skills, handling financial concerns, psychological issues and others. These factors are responsible for student drop outs and therefore institutions of higher learning should deal with these factors for drop outs to reduce.
Lori and Krista (2012, March 1) in their study Critical building Blocks: Mandatory prerequisite registration systems and Student success concluded that the success of the students and even their retention ratio in the college or university is influenced by among other factors the prerequisite system used to enrol the student. This system will bring in good or bad student who either cannot handle the course or cannot fit in the institutional culture that prevails in the institution. in their study, it was realized that a mandatory and good prerequisite enforcement system will help in getting students with good grades who will fit into the institution culture and also perform well in the courses on offer.
Collaborating In Programs of Counselling
Wolfe, Brent D, Kay, Gregor, July 2011 found in their study entitled "Perceived Impact of an Outdoor Orientation Program for First-Year University Students" that first years' students reception of the programmes were positive and those who completed such outdoor programme developed a higher commitment to the university than before. This study therefore shows that universities should work on some outdoor programmes for first year students in line with the institution policy that will help grow the student affiliation to the university thus improving on the retention ratio. Outdoor activities include social corporate responsibility activities like street cleaning, free services to the society and many more.
Offering Financial Aid to Students In Order To Keep Them in School
Tinto, V. (2012) in his publication titled "Completing College: Rethinking Institutional Action, pointed out that institutions of higher learning should work on achieving five conditions for student success. These conditions are expectations, student support, assessment and feedback as well as involvement. When an institution delivers on these four conditions, students will succeed and their retention ration will be good. The student support includes offering financial support to students who are hard working but have financial challenge in meeting their needs including event paying fees.
Talbert, Patricia Y(2012) in their academic journal titled "Strategies to Increase Enrolment, Retention, and Graduation Rates" concluded that its absolutely crucial to keep students in school and to achieve this, the institution should formulate academic leaders across the board and use these leaders to develop programmes meant to improve enrolment, retention as well a graduation. This finding was found to be more relevant especially where you are dealing minority group like African Americans or Americans of Spanish origin as well as first time students.
David S. Crockett, (2005) The Ten Most Effective Retention Strategies for Community/ Technical Colleges identify mission and philosophy, student focus on learning, environment adapted for educational enhancement, a clear guard for student success, an improvement-oriented ethos and shared responsibility for educational quality and student excellence.
Joe Cuseo, Ph.D. & Teresa Farnum in their study of seven myths about student retention identified seven myths which is addressed well will help in student retention. Some of the myths include attraction is a "student problem" not a campus or institutional problem, retention would not be a problem if we just admitted better students, And while we're at it, richer students would help, too, Most students drop out because they "flunk out. Profiling "leavers" is the best method of understanding attrition, It's not the faculty's job to "retain" students but to promote student learning and Campuses are already doing all that they can do to improve student retention. If these myths are properly addressed, there would be less retention problem.
Offering remedial courses
Liz Thomas, (2002) identified certain factors in their study titled Student retention in higher education: the role of institutional habitus which affect student retention and these factors should be addressed by the institution so boost the student retention. They include academic preparedness, academic experience, Institutional expectation and commitment, academic and social match and other factors. Academic experience may include some form of remedial courses that may improve student retention.

Who is Packerland Home Improvement?
When it comes time to do improvements on your home, you want to know you're making the right choice. Not only do you have to compare products to make sure you're getting what you need, you have to feel comfortable with the company that's doing the work. After all, you'll be trusting them with one of your biggest investments, your home.
One of the easiest ways to find a reliable home improvement company is to find out how long the company has been around. According to the newest available numbers from Qualified Remodeler magazine, more than 50% of general remodeling companies fail within the first five years. A company with a solid history is a good indicator that they have provided quality service for an extended period of time. Packerland Home Improvement, the original window replacement specialists in Kaukauna, has that history.
In 1973, Eugene Fuller started Packerland Home Improvement in Appleton, Wisconsin. At the age of 13, his son Jerry had started helping him on jobs, learning the best way to do the home improvement projects they took on. After Jerry was discharged from the U.S. Navy in 1986, he came to join the family business full time. By this time the company was primarily focused on doing windows and siding. Eugene and Jerry loved being able to help people change their house into their dream home.
As a company, Packerland Home Improvement decided to focus solely on window replacement in 2004. Eugene and Jerry had heard horror stories and had seen the hack jobs others had done when replacing windows, and decided that this was where they should focus the company. Anyone can install a window, but it takes an expert to install it correctly. The company found success in this and by 2004 it had gained the attention of Renewal by Andersen, a subsidiary of Andersen Windows, the largest window and door manufacturer in North America.
At that time, it had been nearly a decade since Andersen Windows had created Renewal by Andersen, a window replacement company for homeowners who were looking to have a start-to-finish solution for their window replacement projects. Renewal by Andersen was looking for a company to provide the highest level of customer service and installation skill to the homeowners in the Northeastern Wisconsin area. With more than 100 years of producing quality, high performing windows, Eugene and Jerry knew that Andersen had the history, product, and reputation that they wanted for our customers. This began the partnership between the two companies that continues today. In 2012, Renewal by Andersen asked Packerland Home Improvement to serve homeowners in the Wautoma, Waupun, Fond du Lac, and Sheboygan areas. This created the area known as East Central Wisconsin, and Packerland Home Improvement continues to provide excellent customer service and quality replacement windows and doors to the homeowners in both of these regions.
Packerland Home Improvement now operates under the name Renewal by Andersen of Northeastern Wisconsin, making it easier for those seeking the quality of an Andersen window to find us. Jerry has (mostly) taken over for Eugene and the once-small family business has now grown to more than 30 employees, some of them biological family, all of them who feel like family. Packerland Home Improvement so fortunate to have a great group of people who are dedicated to taking absolute care of each and every one of our customers' homes. For them, the work they perform on your home is the most important work they do. From the time you schedule your appointment with one of the Project Consultants to the very last Installer who leaves your home, you'll rest assured knowing that you have the best replacement window installed by the best replacement window company.

In Ramadhan this year, I didn't get the euphoria. I didn't do much Ramadhan night prayer. I didn't feel the essence of it. The only thing I got was only starvation and thirstiness. Even the oestrogen can't be anymore friendly by giving me 9 bloody holes of the whole 30 days. And it seems that I won't do the final goal, the thing that all muslims in this world are looking for, Eid prayer. Thanks, oestrogen. But this is what happens. With or without the euphoria, Ramadhan this year has gone. The victory day arrives tomorrow. Forgive me for being so despicable, and grumpy, and everything.
Eid mubarak, people!
P.S: Tamara replied my email! I'll post it next time. So. damn. happy. :D

DORO PESCH: Pro-Shot Footage Of Entire HELLFEST Concert
Professionally filmed video footage of Doro Pesch's entire June 19, 2011 performance at Hellfest in Clisson, France can be viewed below (courtesy of Arte [Association Relative à la Télévision Européenne], a Franco-German TV network).
In a recent interview with Rocksalt.mx, Pesch spoke about a new song she has written as a tribute to legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio. "I was always such a big [Dio] fan, like so many other people, [I] just adored him and loved him," she said. "But there's one song, we will be working on that and I think it will be wonderful. But I first want to show it to Wendy Dio [Ronnie's wife/manager] and let her listen to it, so that's one thing. I kind of want to make many versions of that song, I think it's beautiful and I like it a lot . . . It's called 'Hero' and it has a beautiful melody and I would like to make many versions of it, like an acoustic version and a full-blown band version and maybe an orchestral version… and we are just working on it. I definitely want to take care of that one — that song's nice. But first I want to let Wendy listen to it. I'm really hoping… but I'm sure she will like it a lot. Every time everybody is listening to it in the studio everybody is crying and so — wow — so touching."
Doro Pesch's recently released 2DVD/CD set, "25 Years In Rock", features Doro's entire 25-year anniversary concert, including guest performances in front of about 10,000 enthusiastic fans in Düsseldorf, Germany as well as a China special, outtakes from Doro's 2500th concert and a whole lot more. The DVD was released in Europe via Nuclear Blast on November 26 and will be made available in the rest of the world sometime in 2011.
"Fear No Evil", the latest album from Pesch, was made available in North America in June 2009 via AFM/Dismanic/Ryko Distribution.
Released in Europe in January 2009 via AFM Records, "Fear No Evil" entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 11. This was the highest chart entry for Doro in her home country in almost 20 years.

This is not the first time the Ohr Avner school has ended up in hot water with the Russian authorities.
It has been a week of ups and downs for religious freedom in Russia, with a Jewish school having become the target of an extremism investigation, and the beleaguered Jehovah's Witnesses having gained an improbable boost at the Justice Ministry's hand.
Prosecutors in the city of Yekaterinburg have removed religious textbooks from a local Jewish school to review their contents for traces of extremism, the Politsovet news site reported Monday.
The administration of Yekaterinburg's Ohr Avner Jewish school was told that a cultural-linguistic examination would be carried out on textbooks about sacred religious texts such as the Torah, to determine whether they contained extremist materials, according to Politsovet.
This is not the first time the Ohr Avner school has ended up in hot water with the Russian authorities. The school faced closure last year after an inspection by federal government agencies found several violations, ranging from its alleged non-compliance with the national curriculum to poor sanitary conditions, local media reported. Authorities have also complained that the school owes more than 40 million rubles ($751,000 at the current exchange rate) in back rent. The school's administration maintains that it has the right to occupy the premise free of charge.
The Ohr Avner school was not available for comment on the latest scandal when contacted Monday afternoon.
The Justice Ministry's decision, which the organization announced Tuesday, represents a rare legal victory.
According to the press service of the Jehovah's Witnesses of Russia, the religious group was banned in 2004 by a Moscow court. It was accused of recruiting children, prompting believers to abandon their families, inciting suicide and preventing followers from accepting medical treatment, news agency RAPSI reported at the time. The European Court of Human Rights found the Moscow court's decision unjustified in 2010, and ruled that it should be overturned.
The much maligned Jehovah's Witnesses have made many headlines over the years for the legal troubles they have faced in Russia.
As recently as March of this year, a court in the Krasnodar region denounced the group's local branch as extremist, ordering the confiscation of their property in the area. And in December of last year, the Supreme Court ruled that a Jehovah's Witnesses website and three of the movement's religious texts are extremist.

Two Cool
The Loaf turned two last week and on Saturday we had a smashing party in her honor. Family and close friends gathered and a great time was had by all. We discovered our house can hold a lot of people without falling down, and that people love to dress up little girls in cute clothes. Sofia is well outfitted for a toddler pageant and if I were a different sort of mother, she'd be crowned in them all. We'll keep the modeling in the living room for now and here she is displaying the latest in toddler chic. She's 2 kool 4 skool...Oh, and for the record that is not someone kicking my daughter in the head. They were just showing off their fancy shoes.

Need help: Want to make COD2 Maps
Revolt posted a topic in ModdingI'm an old COD2 geek and really want to get into modding/mapping for Battalion 1944 like I used to in COD2 days. Is anyone here interested in seeing a variation of a COD2 map in Battalion 1944? Perhaps a Toujane, or a Dawnville? In any case, I would like to have someone point me in the right direction. What do you use to map in Battalion 1944? COD2 has a simple "Radiant Tool" that was basically an all-in-one tool for mapping, and it was great. How do you go about this in Battalion 1944? Any advice appreciated!

Psyched to be learning about mixing from one of the greats!
(Current version sounds like this dropped some "heys" to let it build a little. How can we improve it?)
Project we're using to apply what we're learning:
So, I direct videos, and I'm working on a holiday commercial for a soccer company that has a is filmed in stop motion with real people. And I'm working with producer Real Laww ( @theRealLaww) to come up with a custom soundtrack.
(Can't show the commercial yet, but here's a screenshot)
We're trying to come up with a piece that has an organic feel and a cheery bounce that works for sports and the holidays (this is the 2013 holiday spot).
First, a couple tracks with bounces that we really like:
Love the energy in Gnarl's Barkley's "Going on": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_R9fId_Rqo
And I love the use of ambient sound in the Go Team's stuff.
We started with a double-clap drum pattern by Laww.
And added elements (synths, live sax, live handclaps, and some recorded cheering, (synths, live sax, live handclaps, and some recorded cheering).
Then: Some "Hey" shouts to fill it out.
And dropped some "heys" to let it build a bit in the latest version.
We're going to tweak it a bit, make a few versions. And then follow the Young Guru course to work out the final mix. Got any advice for us as we start mixing? OVERALL: How would you make this beat better?

Join us for InnoVentures 2018 on March 26th at Lagunitas Brewing in Ballard. InnoVentures is a pitch competition and fundraiser that educates, empowers and equips our entrepreneurs to take their business to the next level. Hear Ventures entrepreneurs pitch their innovative ideas for a chance to win $2,500 to grow their businesses!
Last year, over 120 local business owners and entrepreneurs gathered at Optimism Brewery for our first InnoVentures pitch contest. Thank you to our community of supporters, clients, staff, and friends who helped make 2017's event a great success.
We work hard to demonstrate the value of innovation and entrepreneurship for our clients. InnoVentures is an intentional effort to do something unique. Instead of a traditional nonprofit gala, we've created a dynamic event that strengthens local microbusinesses by raising funds and gives our entrepreneurs the chance to refine their business skills. That's why InnoVentures is the premier local event for those who want to help level the playing field for women and people of color in business.
Buy tickets before they sell out.
How it works
Ventures' entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to a panel of judges and community members like you. Twenty-two applicants participate in a bracket-style competition to the final event, where five entrepreneurs are judged on community need, innovation, feasibility, and presentation. Throughout the competition, you can stay up-to-date by signing up for our mailing list.

Why we're doing it
The March 26th event is the culmination of a three-month long incubation and training program that helps connect our business owners to the community. Contestants access new markets through brand exposure and networking opportunities and gain valuable training by working with volunteer Business Coaches on their business plans and public speaking. Our entrepreneurs benefit enormously from practicing these skills at InnoVentures, and they get to do so with a chance to win cash prizes to help grow their businesses.
InnoVentures is also a chance to see our mission in action and move the needle for Ventures and our clients.

Best known for his poems and short fiction. Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most famous American poets. He deserves most credit for short suspenseful mysteries and he perfected the area of horror stories. He wrote many famous poems like "The Raven" and "The Bells". Poe was a genius and very meticulous in his stories every clue had to fit and that's why he didn't make a lot of short stories but a small collection of great short stories.
He was born in Boston on January 19, 1809. Both of his parents were touring actors; both died before Poe even reached three years old. A rich merchant named Mr. Allan in Richmond, Virginia took Poe in. His childhood was uneventful although he attended the University of Virginia in 1826 for only a year. Even thought he was a good student he ran up a large gambling dept that Allan refused to pay. This prevented his return to the university and broke-off his engagement to Sarah Elmira Royster, his Richmond sweetheart. Having no way to support himself he enlisted in the army. He had already written and printed (at his own expense) his first book, Tamerlane and Other Poems (1827).
Allan secured Poe's release from the army and his appointment to West Point but refused to give him money. After 6 months Poe apparently got kicked out of West Point for disobedience. His friends, however, gave money to him for the publication of Poems by Edgar A. Poe ...Second Edition (1831), actually a third edition--after Tamerlane and Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, and Minor Poems (1829). This book contained the famous "To Helen" and "Israfel," poems that show the restraint and the calculated musical effects of language that was characterizing his poetry.
Poe next lived in Baltimore with his widowed aunt, Maria Clemm, and her daughter, Virginia, and turned to fiction as a way to support himself. In 1832 the Philadelphia Saturday Courier published five of his stories all comic or satiric. In 1833, "MS. Found in a Bottle" won a $50 prize from the "Baltimore Saturday Visitor". Poe, his aunt, and Virginia moved to Richmond in 1835 and he became editor of the Southern Literary Messenger and married Virginia, who was not even 14 years old.
Poe wrote fiction, his most horrifying tale, "Berenice," in the Southern Literary Messenger, but most of his contributions were serious and critical reviews that earned him respect as a critic. He praised the young Dickens and devoted most of his attention to devastating reviews of popular contemporary authors. His contributions increased the magazine's circulation, but they offended its owner, who didn't like Poe's drinking. The January 1837 issue of the Southern Literary Messenger announced Poe's that Poe will stop to be the editor but also included the first part of his long fiction tale, "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym", five of his reviews, and two of his poems. This was going to be the strange pattern for Poe's career: success as an artist and editor but failure to satisfy his employers and to secure a quite, stable life.
First in New York City (1837), then in Philadelphia (1838-44), and again in New York (1844-49), Poe tried to establish himself as a force in literary journalism, but with only slow success. He did succeed, however, in creating influential literary theories and in showing mastery of the forms he favored - musical poems and short fictional narratives. Both forms, he argued, should aim at "a certain unique or single effect." His theory of short fiction is best exemplified in "Ligeia" (1838), the tale Poe considered his finest, and "The Fall Of The House Of Usher" (1839), which was to become one of his most famous stories. "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841) is sometimes considered the first detective story. The "The Raven" (1845) and "The Bells" (1849) are good example of musical poems.
Virginia's death in January 1847 was a heavy blow, but Poe continued to write and lecture. In the summer of 1849 he revisited Richmond, lectured, and was proposed to the fiancee he had lost in 1826, she accepted that. After his return north he was found unconscious on a Baltimore street. In a brief obituary the Baltimore Clipper reported that Poe had died of "congestion of the brain." ROBERT REGAN

The fourth round of the Winter League was won by six handicapper Niall McCaul who shot a nett 32pts and also managed to return the best gross score of the day with 28pts for the 13 holes. The 13 hole format meant McCaul only had four shots at his disposal so it was an impressive round.
It began with a three point par at the first which was followed by a three point birdie and although he only earned five points over the next three holes he took eight points from the two par-fives on the front nine as he eagled the sixth for four points and birdied the seventh for four points.
Another birdie followed at the eighth for three points and a two point par at the ninth meant he completed the front nine in 24pts.
Three pars at the 10th, 16th and 17th yielded seven points as he only had a shot at the 16th and, although he bogeyed the par four 18th, the point he gained was enough to get over the line in first place.
Another six handicapper, Billy Cairns, shot 31pts to take the Category 1 honours while Ollie English (12) won Category 2 with 30pts and Noel Reid (18) with 27pts claimed the Category 3 prize on countback.
Sunday, March 26 – 13 Hole Singles Stableford and Round 4 of Tiernan's Centra Blackrock Winter League – Overall: Niall McCaul (6) 32pts. Category 1 (0-11): Billy Cairns (6) 31pts, Ultan Gaughran (9) 30pts. Category 2 (12-16): Ollie English (12) 30pts, Peter Fitzpatrick (14) 26/19pts.

Ship of ...
Nobody says it out loud, it seems, but being against the recall is the same as being for LNG. These commissioners are being recalled because they refuse to listen to the voters who put them in office, and are pushing forward to have LNG terminals built on the Columbia River, which is against the will of the people (as shown in the pipeline referendum).
What I can't figure out is: No. 1, why the hell do the Chambers of Commerce think they have the right to try to tell people what to do in regard to local political decisions; and No. 2, are the chamber boards really that stupid, or have they been bought?
I mean, aside from the obvious idiocy of putting LNG tanks anywhere near a major subduction zone, LNG on the river would destroy the tourist industry in this area, and Astoria businesses (and members of the chamber) are increasingly dependent on tourism. I suppose Seaside doesn't care, because the LNG tanks won't be visible from there if they are built.
I, for one, would like to know which businesses support the chamber boards' stance against the recall, so I can be sure to not shop at their establishments again. And so much for my thoughts of joining the chamber - they don't represent what I want for the future any more than the commissioners under recall do.

One could ask who the hell does the Daily Astorian think it is by slanting all of its articles against LNG? Personally I think Forrester drew his own line in the sand over the Marquis issue a few years back and has opposed anything the Commissioners have been for ever since. Maybe you have been turned as well because of the who signs your pay checks.

What I think about LNG and the Columbia River has nothing to do with the Daily A, and never did. I think this whole LNG thing stinks, and did so for years before I even worked there.
And ... At least I say what I think without hiding behind being anonymous.

You go Elleda and don't let the LNG thugs discourage you from your freedom of speech or their grumblings that most of the county doesn't agree with them.
The LNG thing does stink...from the under the table deals, to all the money being passed around, to the sad fact that there is simply no market for foreign natural gas so the chances of any of these projects ever being built are between nil and zero.
Even sadder is the fact that our food banks need money and instead the county is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on lawyers to cover their butts. A lot of ill feelings are being generated by people like Bradwood and Oregon LNG who were not here 5 years ago and will be gone when the golden goose turns out to be illusory.
Keep up the good fight!

Thanks, Jim.
You're right on the money. Their behavior and comments are thuggish, indeed, and show a distinct lack of rational thought.
Thanks for speaking up.

Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
The film Gandhi released in 1982 was adopted from the biography of Mahatma Gandhi and unfolds with his fateful assassination of 30th January 1948 as a result of being the go-between on conflicting Muslims and Hindus in India and Pakistan. The film plot quickly goes back to narrating Gandhi's early life as a practicing attorney. With the setting in South Africa, Gandhi is traveling by train and after he adamantly refusing to surrender his seat in first class coach is thrown out. He is subjected to this segregation because he is an Indian.
This provokes him to organize mass protests for banning of all discriminatory acts and an end to these stereotypes in which all protesters are arrested and later released. In the film, Gandhi is propelled by religious virtues and believes all people are equal before God. The British rule had denigrated the Indians limiting their rights to the extent of not acknowledging their marriage laws. For this reason, he endeavors for the achievement of equality through protests, which strongly do not advocate for violence.
Exploring on racism and other issues that border on prejudice and stereotypes, the film Gandhi delves on the anonymous group of pushing for mass actions and identified by the common clothing, which ultimately implies they are of particular class. The point of this film endeavors to present the struggles of the Indian people from a generalized perspective. In the film the people are depicted as somehow fanatical and indeed they are justified bearing in mind the kind of life they were pushed to in the context of the colonial subordination.
The intense scenes in Gandhi explores on the people's common life infused with the religious fervor through the advocacy of Gandhi. The cinematic representation in the film of Gandhi is not about presenting the historical Gandhi but the presentation of the life changing circumstances that happened in India. The character of Gandhi does not dwell in his early or private life but dramatizes the public persona that ultimately inspired the Indian people with his realistic and spiritual philosophies.
The camera shots are edited to only bring the speeches, notable occasions, and homilies of Gandhi as a leader that helped the masses result to the non-violence protests without giving up even when they were imprisoned for agitating for their freedom and independence. The scenes well packaging depicts Attenborough's cinematic exploits and the film win an awards for the best pictures. However, the film implies there are moments of Gandhi's development in politics but does not delve deep in showing them.
From the scenes of mass actions, the audience cannot fail to notice the contribution raising the social conscientization, which is imperative for the belief in emancipation. Although the film does not dramatize the transformation experience turning the historical moments in the film as just purely aesthetic, there scenes in the film that treat Indian culture and Gandhi as iconic figure. The low angle and the close-up shots magnifies Gandhi as inspirational leader while the long panning shots help show the masses united against the aggression of the British rule.
The mise-en-scene further eclipses the fine details of this biographical film leading to emplotment and characterization in the film. The sounds tracks employed further contextualize film in the Indian culture as well as espousing the euphoria in the social struggle. In conclusion, film Gandhi directed by Attenborough was successful in the biographical genre in which Attenborough's wit and intellect in depicting Mahatma Gandhi and his leadership role in the non-violent agitation of independence from the British rule. The film is a manifestation of honoring the unique resistance lead by iconic Mahatma Gandhi.

The project is said to cost just under €16million with completion planned for 2022.
Proposed River Dodder bridge will not allow cars
A proposed bridge over the Dodder will be for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport only - writes dublinlive.ie.
It will also prevent buses and taxis using the bridge from accessing the Ringsend village from the eastern end of the structure, according to The Times, Ireland edition.
The bridge which is scheduled to open in 2022, is said to be a key piece of infrastructure for the development of a new Poolbeg suburb.
The project is said to cost just under €16million and if the planning permission goes through construction work will begin in 2019.The suburb development would deliver around 3,000 homes for 8,000 people.
It specifies that 1,650 of the new homes will be two-bed properties, while 900 will be one-bedroom units and the remaining 450 made up by three-bedroom homes or more.
The plan for Poolbeg also incorporates three public parks, a primary school, the extension of the Luas Red Line, and includes the former Irish Glass Bottle site, which remains undeveloped after being bought for more than €400m in 2006.

Pale redheaded cougar Mae Victoria is on the prowl, and she's caught some meat to play with. She strips down to her black panties and nylons before dropping to her knees to suck a hard cock. She noisily slurps on that dick like a lolly pop before lowering her hairy pussy on that rod to ride it reverse cowgirl. She gets on her hands and knees to get fucked doggy-style, then he lays her back to give it to her missionary. He finally pulls out and strokes his hot load all over her for a sloppy facial.
