Last October, some 50 residents and nonprofit group representatives crowded into a community meeting to offer ideas for the future of the former Gainesville Army Reserve Center.
In October 2012, about 50 residents and nonprofit group representatives crowded into a community meeting to offer ideas for the future of the former Gainesville Army Reserve Center.
One year later, those dreams remain just that as the city has yet to retake ownership of the property from the federal government.
The 35,000-square-foot red brick building still stands vacant behind a barbed-wire fence along Northeast Eighth Avenue. A large, downed tree lies across the front of the seven-acre property. Discarded fast-food bags, soda bottles and empty cigarette packs are among the trash strewn along the western edge of the property. The front lawn is mowed regularly, thanks to a group of neighborhood volunteers who try to keep up the grounds and hope to see the property transformed into a community park.
The city sold this site to the federal government for $1 in 1950, with a condition that the property revert back to the city when it no longer was used by the Army Reserve.
In 2009, the Army ended its six-decade presence in the building and moved across the street and to the east. In 2011, the federal government officially informed Gainesville officials that the property would go back to city ownership.
At the October 2012 "visioning session," the community's ambitious ideas included an incubator for nonprofit agencies, a community garden, a farmers market, a community kitchen, a job-training center, an arts center and a senior center for east Gainesville.
But Gainesville officials tempered the excitement with the financial reality that the city did not have any money identified for the extensive renovations needed to get the building into modern, usable condition.
Over the summer, the U.S. Army conducted additional environmental tests on the building, and the city is now in the midst of updating cost estimates to clean up lead paint and asbestos.
The current projection is $350,000, and Assistant City Manager Paul Folkers said the additional testing conducted over the summer might well drive up that price. The city is seeking federal funding to go toward those cleanup costs.
"The city gave this property to the federal government for $1 in 1950," Folkers said. "Certainly we're pleased to get the property back, but we think it's fair and appropriate to get the property back in a clean condition without environmental issues."
Folkers said an agreement to assume ownership will eventually go to the City Commission. Commissioners then will consider the future of the site and whether to solicit proposals for its use with the possibility that multiple groups or organizations might locate in the sprawling building.
Commissioner Randy Wells helped organize last October's meeting and has met with a resident group formed to provide input on the future of the property. Wells said a community neighborhood park, a memorial to honor the Army reservists who served at the center and an occupied, renovated building would combine to "create something that really adds vibrancy to the community."
But Wells said he does not see the city taking the lead.
"The city is definitely not going to be the primary mover and shaker on this one … the city doesn't have the resources to make this happen but can be supportive in a lot of ways that do not include money."
While a year has passed without the transfer of ownership, community interest in the property has not disappeared.
Northeast Neighbors neighborhood resident Tom Lyons, who lives a block from the armory, is president of a resident group, Friends of Reserve Park, formed to advocate for a community park at the property. Members help by mowing the lawn fronting Northeast Eighth Avenue.
Lyons said the group would like to see a community garden, green space, a playground for children and some type of memorial to honor the reservists who came through the center.
"It's a great little neighborhood, but we don't have a little park area of our own," Lyons said.

The second time I was pulled under, my mother
brought a minister. Calmly, slowly, she instructed
him to clear my simple thoughts, brought his hands
holy and wide over me as the room slipped like molasses
from a kitchen bottle. I was made smaller in this kind
of embrace, coddled while the gay slipped almost unnoticed
from my inner-city. Behind glass, my mother watched
the doctors open me. I was brought, then, with one
less vein, to the surface. My mother told me
never to make the same mistake twice.

While there were no "fireworks" in India's highly-anticipated budget, investors approved of the government's various pro-growth initiatives – which ranged from boosting infrastructure investment to lowering corporate taxes – adding fuel to the country's stock market rally.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley presented the budget on Saturday against the backdrop of sky-high expectations, with some describing it as the most important economic event for India's stock market this year.
The budget's overarching theme was ramping up growth, which Jaitley predicted would accelerate to 8-8.5 percent in the fiscal year starting in April, from 7.4 percent this year.
Read MoreNo big bang, but Indian budget goes for growth, investment
Many banks reiterated their bullish views on India's equity market following the budget.
Nomura, among the most upbeat, expects the benchmark Sensex to rise to 33,500 by year-end – 19 percent higher than current levels, while Citi predicts the index will end the year at 33,000. Goldman Sachs, meanwhile, forecasts the Nifty index will rise to 9,500 - a 6 percent rise from current levels.
The Sensex and Nifty have risen 7 percent and 8 percent, respectively, so far this year, after double-digit gains in 2014.

I've always known it's important to be a good example to your kids, but I really underestimated my children. I look back now and wonder how different things would be if I had made some changes years ago.
A little over three years ago, I made a list of over 100 goals for myself. I decided I would go a year without pop and six months without fast food. I don't love either, but I would find myself going through a drive-thru probably once a week due to poor planning. My day would become much busier than expected and suddenly I have a van full of hungry children and dinner will still take another hour if we go home to eat. The convenience of the drive-thru was just so tempting. If I wanted to eat out, I had to go inside and it had to be something at least semi-healthy. Of course, that would be more expensive and annoying to bring four children inside, so it's extremely rare for me to do so.
Once I made it six months, it wasn't that hard at all, so I decided I would make it a year just like the pop. I really didn't miss it, so I kept it up and now here I am over three years later and I'm not sure if I'll ever have it again. I haven't been on any major road trips, so that will be the true test.
I'm still quite overweight, but last year when I had blood tests done, everything looked awesome. I don't know what it was before, but I think most people would look at me and think I have high cholesterol. No, my cholesterol, triglycerides, etc. are great.
After things got really easy, I started to contemplate adding another challenge. Gluten free? No, too expensive and too much of a pain. Dairy free? No. I knew sugar was probably the culprit, but I so loved to eat ice cream at night with my husband, especially on hot nights. I kept telling myself, "Tomorrow isn't a good day. I'll do it another time." The more I resisted, the more I realized it was a problem. I was considering it more strongly when my sister announced on Facebook that she was going sugar free for two weeks, starting tomorrow.
Fred Meyer had just had a sale on ice cream and I had five different flavors in there, but I decided just like that, "I'll do it with you!" Oh, it was painful, especially when my family ate it in front of me. We weren't cutting out sugar completely because that's very difficult to do, so we stuck to cutting out desserts. I also switched to whole grain breads and pasta for the most part.
After a few days of this, I had a headache. I wasn't sure if it was related or not, but I also felt almost non-stop hungry. I coped with it by buying extra delicious foods that were allowable and was eating things like caprese salad for breakfast. That's another change is that I'm not eating cereal. If I wanted something cold and refreshing, I had some coconut water at night. Later a friend suggested I try some frozen banana pureed with a little cocoa powder. It's actually quite good and there's no added sugar!
I thought my family would get upset when I stopped buying treats for the most part, but they didn't. When my two weeks ended, I wasn't missing treats that much and decided I would wait another week and a half until my son's birthday. I had some of the pumpkin cheesecake trifle I made him and I noticed my heart raced a little and I just felt kind of weird. I was surprised when I thought, "I can't wait to be sugar free again tomorrow!"
I think my son thought I would go back to eating sugar. He's 11 and he asked if I would go sugar free with him for the whole month of October. We asked him, "What about Halloween?" He said, "I'll go trick or treating, but I won't eat the candy until November 1st." Then my most candy addicted child decided he would go a week without it. I made the decision not to have any dessert until Thanksgiving and now I'm waiting again until New Year's Eve. This is the first time I can remember not eating Halloween candy.
Partway into this, my husband's family decided to do a weight loss challenge. We would all put in $5 and whoever loses 10% of their weight by December 31st gets part of the pot. I had already started losing weight by this time, so that makes it even more challenging for me. I love having this extra motivation to exercise and eat right. I would win $50 at the most, but it's not about the money. It's about being able to say that I did it. I feel like it will be easy to continue this way and I have actually had urges to throw out some of my clothes that are baggy now rather than thinking, "What if I gain it back?"
My 11-year-old now says if I make it to 199 pounds, he will do the dishes for a month! My 14-year-old says, "I hope you don't lose too much weight because you won't feel like my mom anymore." What I'm doing is making them all more conscientious about what they're eating and I really didn't expect them to be so supportive about this. I'm hoping to change how I view food. People say, "Everything in moderation", but I crave unhealthy things much more when I let myself eat just a little bit.
The hardest thing for me right now is that I love to spoil others with delicious foods, especially during the holidays, but it's so hard to smell it cooking and not have any. My next goal is to get everyone exercising on a regular basis.
What things have your kids learned by your example?

Securities and Exchange Commission
Litigation Release No. 18353 / September 17, 2003
SEC Obtains Preliminary Injunctive Relief Against Tecumseh Holdings Corporation and Affiliates
Securities and Exchange Commission v. Tecumseh Holdings Corporation, Tecumseh Tradevest LLC, S.B. Cantor & Co., Inc., John L. Milling, Gerard A. McCallion, Anthony M. Palovchik and Dale Carone, Defendants, and Tecumseh Alpha Fund LP, Tecumseh Alpha LLC, and Stracq, Inc., Relief Defendants, Civil Action No. 03 Civ. 5490 (SAS) (S.D.N.Y., filed July 24, 2003)
At a hearing on August 22, 2003, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the Securities and Exchange Commission's application for a preliminary injunction and other relief against Tecumseh Holdings Corporation ("Tecumseh"), Tecumseh Tradevest LLC ("Tradevest"), S.B.Cantor & Co., Inc. ("Cantor"), and John L. Milling ("Milling"). The defendants filed no opposition to the Commission's motion and ultimately consented to the relief. Entered on September 5, 2003, the court's order continues in place various forms of interim relief initially ordered by the court on July 25, 2003, when the court granted the Commission's application for a temporary restraining order and other relief to halt the fraud perpetrated by Tecumseh and the other defendants. Among other things, the court's September 5, 2003 order preliminarily enjoins: (a) Tecumseh, Tradevest, Cantor and Milling from committing future violations of the registration provisions, Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"); (b) Tecumseh, Tradevest and Milling from future violations of the antifraud provisions, Section 17(a) of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; (c) Cantor from future violations of the broker-dealer books and records provisions, Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 thereunder; and (d) Milling from aiding and abetting future violations of the broker-dealer books and records provisions, Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 thereunder. The order also: (a) continues a freeze over the assets of those defendants and relief defendants Tecumseh Alpha Fund LP ("Alpha Fund") and Tecumseh Alpha LLC ("Alpha LLC"); and (b) keeps in place Loretta E. Lynch as the court-appointed receiver for Tecumseh, Tradevest, and Cantor. At the request of defendant Milling, the order also imposes a limited stay of discovery and stays defendants' time to respond to the Commission's complaint pending resolution of a criminal investigation. The order allows the Commission, however, to take third-party discovery notwithstanding the stay.
The Commission's complaint, filed on July 24, 2003, alleges that, beginning in June 2000, the defendants engaged in a fraud arising out of the unregistered offer and sale of securities in Tecumseh, a purported financial services company with offices in New Jersey and California, and Tecumseh's subsidiary, Tradevest. Tecumseh and Tradevest conducted the fraud largely through the efforts of Milling, a securities lawyer and Tecumseh's senior official. According to the complaint, Tecumseh, Tradevest and Milling acted with the assistance of defendants Cantor, a registered broker-dealer; Gerard A. McCallion, Cantor's President; Anthony M. Palovchik, Tecumseh's Vice President; and Dale Carone, manager of Tecumseh's California office; and others. Through the unregistered fraudulent offerings, the defendants together raised approximately $10 million from about 500 investors nationwide. The complaint also names as relief defendants three Tecumseh affiliates: Alpha Fund, Alpha LLC, and Stracq, Inc.
The complaint alleges that Tecumseh, Tradevest and Milling induced investors to acquire securities of Tecumseh and Tradevest by means of a host of material misrepresentations. Through offering memoranda and other materials, these defendants (a) touted false and misleading profit projections; (b) promised some investors "returns on investment" or "dividends" without disclosing that Tecumseh and Cantor had no earnings to distribute and that any such payments necessarily would come from capital, including funds raised from other investors; and (c) made materially misleading statements concerning NASD approval for Tecumseh's acquisition of Cantor. Tecumseh, Tradevest and Milling knew or acted in reckless disregard of the fact that their representations to investors concerning these matters were materially false and misleading.
The litigation is pending.

When Claire Boothe Luce wrote The Women as a play in the 1930s, she was taking vicious aim at a particular subset of do-nothing society women who played at marriage and divorce as a career. The only really shocking thing that can be said about this mild 2008 version of the material is that these rich ladies are now presented as heroines of the kind of materialistic culture reflected by (created by?) the success of Sex and the City. Consequently, the characters are introduced under the opening credits by the type of shoes they wear, which lets us know we are far from George Cukor's famous 1939 movie of Luce's play, which began with each star preceded by an animal prototype. Rosalind Russell's scary, chattering bad seed, Sylvia Fowler, who practically licks her chops as she breaks up a marriage, has been transformed into Annette Bening's brittle but kind Sylvie Fowler, an unmarried magazine editor who plays Miranda to Meg Ryan's tousle-haired, irritatingly self-absorbed Carrie. Ryan is still doing her cute-mannered act from years ago, and it's pretty moldy by now, while Bening is left with an unplayable role. In life, there are sociopathic women like Russell's Sylvia, but only on television do we see articulate, ever-boosting bores like this film's Sylvie.
Point by point, writer-director Diane English has rethought the original in a seemingly intelligent way, and she provides three-dimensional roles for Candice Bergen, as Ryan's mother, and Cloris Leachman, as her housekeeper, in parts that would have been mere token bits in most other films of this sort. But English fails miserably when it comes to redoing Joan Crawford's shop girl role for Eva Mendes. The dramatic tension in Cukor's movie came from Crawford's identification with her working-class character, which is what made her a star in the proletarian '30s. In imperial 2008, however, Mendes, who has potential as an actress aside from her amazing looks, is treated as The Help, a sexual cartoon. Similarly, Debi Mazar's manicurist has none of the dumb-broad heart revealed in Dennie Moore's gossipy original; the young working-class women in this movie are treated with total disdain and contempt.
Cukor complicated the dressing-room confrontation between wife (Norma Shearer) and mistress (Crawford) by stressing the shop girl's sassy strength and the wife's tired nobility (the real-life enmity between the two actresses fairly leaps off the screen). Here, that same scene is thrown directly to Ryan's wife, whose slightly out-of-shape body is deliberately contrasted with Mendes spilling out of her lingerie. When Ryan spews out some verbose clichés and Mendes says that she can't understand such talk, the film reaches a level of truly clueless offensiveness; Cukor would have made us side with Mendes and exposed Ryan's blather for what it is: over-privileged white noise.
Bette Midler has only two scenes as a Countess De Lave re-imagined as a tired Hollywood agent smoking a joint; she advises dithering Ryan to get "selfish," and the movie offers this as wisdom, as practically every chick flick has done in the last 10 or 15 years. There was some talk a few months ago that male critics were harder on the Sex and the City movie than they were on generic action films aimed at men. Such arguments, though, are pitifully moot. The majority of male action movies are mind-numbing and awful, yes, but the new "women's pictures" are just as bad in their own way, and maybe even worse; since there are so few of them, they can do more damage with their shameless ego massaging, their focus on acquisition, their preaching of monstrous selfishness as the way to happiness.
At one point in this version of The Women, Ryan wonders, sarcastically, "What is this, some 1930s movie?" The joke's on her, for the original version of The Women, shrill and campy as it can be, is miles ahead of this remake when it comes to issues of class and social maneuvering; Cukor's movie has got star power by the yard and it's screamingly funny, whereas the conscientious English can only deliver some small chuckles here and there. There was a little-known '50s remake of The Women called The Opposite Sex, and it was a real travesty, so this new version is an improvement on that, but not much else.

American gun owners are under attack in this country but really they always are. Gun rights is a very controversial topic and there are two clear sides. The sides are always at war with the other side. With the increase in school violence over the years gun owners have come under more attack.
Americans have been to fat and lazy for to long. They are quickly forgetting that free men must fight and die to stay that way. So when something bad happens the American people especially Democrats want more laws and more police but someone else to pay for the added cost. Now its guns every tyrant who has rose to power has done so promising what can not be given then taking everything.
American gun owners, most of whom are law abiding, are under siege. They are fearful that their rights to gun ownership will be curtailed because of violence by people who are not law-abiding citizens. American gun owners who follow the law have every right to own guns and protect their person and their property. Our founding fathers recognized this as an important right for a free people.
If your a NRA member you just lost many discounts and perks just because you either support responsible folks owning guns or you own one your self. I don't like guns don't have one in my house but I damn sure support the 2nd Amendment and rather have responsible people owning guns rather than just criminals having them.
Sorry, my sympathy for a group of people that actually argue more tools that can instantly kill somebody makes the country safer is pretty minimal. Nobody in a position of power to make a difference has the courage to go after guns and regulate them more tightly, gun owners do get verbally ridiculed a lot but they should thank the heavens that's all that happens, this is literally the only civilized country in the world that allows this garbage to take place. Everywhere else they've realized less guns is a good thing.
Gun owners aren't under siege because there will always be gun owners in the United States. Innocent children in schools are under siege from people who shouldn't have guns in the first place either because they use someone else's gun or they are psychos. American gun owners will always get to own firearms in some fashion.
Gun owners are terrified that the majority party, pushing for perfectly reasonable, rational gun control regulations, are going to literally storm their houses and take their legally owned weapons away from them. With that level of paranoia, perhaps they should. But gun owners are in absolutely no danger, and responsible gun owners never will be.
American gun owners seem to have more rights than those who do not own guns. The NRA has such an influence in politics and such a huge financial backing that gun owners will never be under siege or face any kind of stricter regulations for owning guns. The Americans who do not own guns are under siege.
No, American gun owners are not under seige. The rights of gun owners are not being taken away. Instead, gun control seeks to make more Americans safe. It does not unjustly or unfairly target gun owners. A person should be allowed to have a gun to defend himself or herself, not an assault weapon that is designed only to kill
American gun owners are only being asked to respond to reason. No one is going to take away their rights to own guns, in fact I imagine legitimate gun owners will not be affected at all by any new laws. They all claim to be responsible citizens who just believe in their right to have guns that they acquire legally, and there is no problem if they are. If they are also rational people they should understand that some particular types of guns need to be controlled. If they don't understand that, in my opinion they are irrational and probably are under siege.

Discussion in 'Transformers Toy Discussion' started by WeirdMetamorphosis, Aug 7, 2008.
Does anyone know how they ship their items ? Like do they ship them by USPS or UPS.
mine usually come usps. I think it depends on how fast you have it shipped. I always choose ground because i'm a cheap ass.
Mine have always been USPS. Also they now include a tracking number with every order that you can look up on your order status page. This is a great new addition to their service.
priority and express is fedex.
i'm a cheap ass too, lol. whenever i order from hts, i always expect it a month later. its awful for animated stuff and my nemisis. it's my nemesis, and i want it NOW!
The only problem is, if they use USPS, the 'tracking' number doesn't tell you very much. Mine told me:
a. They have been notified of a shipment, and eventually
b. The package has been accepted in my city.
I'm used to UPS, where you can track the progress of the package in much more detail.
They have delivered items to me in the past via both USPS and UPS. Today, some truck dropped them off, and was from some weird company I had never heard of before
I just saw him driving off, but it wasn't FedEx, USPS, or UPS.
Fedex or USPS, they delivered my SDCC Savage Land set on a Saturday, while BBTS's UPS only comes on a weekday.
What does it mean when your order status shows your item partially shipped ? It's been like that for the past 3 days now. I had ordered Blitzwing but I'm beginning to wonder if maybe they sold out before my order got in.
In the past, I think it meant that part of the order shipped. However, with the SDCC stuff recently, it seemed to mean "partway put together and somewhat ready to ship, but not at all actually shipped."
Might have been DHL. Yellow truck?
Anyway, HTS's warehouse is about a two hour's drive from me so USPS usually gets me the item in one to two days. Yeah, it was pretty cool getting Nemesis Prime that week.
A month? I want mine in a day.
Separate names with a comma.

Everyone needs some sparkle in their life, and with New Years Eve just around the corner why not invest in some mod podge and turn your old beat-up heels into something fabulous.
What you'll need:
- 1 jar of glitter
- 1 bottle of mod pode
- Tape
- Paint brush
- 1 pair of thrifted shoes
Step 1: In a bowl mix your modge podge and glitter together. The consistency should be 80% glitter and 20% modge podge, and still a little runny.
Step 2: Tape off the area that you would like to glitter.
Step 3: Apply your first layer of mod podge to the shoe and let it sit for an hour
Step 4: Once the first layer is completely dry apply two more layers of your glitter + mod podge paste
Step 5: Take the loose glitter and completely cover the already mod podged area
Step 6: Wait a few hours until the glitter is completely dry
Step 7: Once it's dry, carefully peel off the tape
Step 8: Say hello to your new & improved shoes!

I almost went that route at first but then I decided to keep it clean. It takes effort to keep our heads out of the space gutter, Rod.Delete
ha ha, good and SAVE decision, Ted!!! :) It leaves an open SPACE for the viewer to make his/her own story !Delete
The question is who of these guys is actually the invader....:)
Oh, the guy in the tank top is the real alien invader. He is disguised. The green one with horns is actually the human, he likes to sleep in a monster costume. heh heh.Delete
This reminds me of how truckers will park in random spots where they can to sleep between long hauls, but this alien takes it to a whole other level!ReplyDeleteReplies
That's a good idea for a gag, Mauricio; spaceship truckers. hmmmm.Delete
Oy. Now you've planted a fear in my head. The next time my own snoring wakes me up, I'll have to look on the other side of the bed.ReplyDelete
I love those round glasses! How much time did you spend on those?Replies

Well That Settles It....
Camel Predicts Giants Over Patriots In Super Bowl XLVI:
Princess, the star of New Jersey's Popcorn Park Zoo, has correctly picked the winner of five of the last six Super Bowls. She went 14 and 6 predicting regular season and playoff games this year, and has a lifetime record of 88-51.
Her pick this year: The New York Giants.
The Bactrian camel's prognostication skills flow from her love of graham crackers. Zoo general manager John Bergmann places a cracker and writes the name of the competing teams on each hand. Whichever hand Princess nibbles from is her pick. On Wednesday, she made her pick with no hesitation at all, predicting bad news for Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, even though the Las Vegas oddsmakers have New England favored by about 3 points.
Her only miscue in the big game was picking the Indianapolis Colts over the New Orleans Saints two years ago, indicating that even camels know it's generally risky to go against Peyton Manning.

Yesterday;May18/09, I recieved a small male dog as a visiter and he stayed. He is blonde with a curly tail and friendly with cats. He just ignores them. He truely is a sweety, just full of kisses and snuggles. Well trained and asks to go out doors. Don't know his age but, what I do know, is that if an owner is not found then he will live out his days as a pampered and loved part of this home. The SPCA and all vet clinics in the area have been contacted. He has visited the local school to see if any of the children recognize him. Nothing. This is another attempt to locate an owner. There was no tag on his collar, he has been well cared for and does not appear to be abused. If you can further identify this little guy he will be returned to his owner. The local radio station was also contacted again nothing. I live near a very busy major highway, and am wondering if maybe he got away when stopped at a major store close to where I live.
I know I have not send much about this little guy, but if you truly know him and the area then you will recognize him.
Good luck, CwLap! He's a lucky little fella--if you can't reunite him with his humans, he'll still have a loving home! Thanks for helping him out when he needed it!
"We are--each of us--dying; it's how we live in the meantime that makes the difference."
"It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived!"
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
He really is a sweety. He goes to bed with an affectionate little tussle and wakes with a big smile and loads of kisses. His manners are beyond reproach
I would consider myself lucky to have this little guy as part of our family on a permanent basis. I cannot understand why someone would not be moving heaven and earth to locate him. I know I would. Over the next few weeks he will see a vet and have any shots recommended he will get a tag and health insurance the same as every other member of this home.
Thankyou for the comments. I know Zac is happier

Stay 'unfair' urge campaigners to Shah Rukh Khan
An organisation, Women of Worth, that has been campaigning against dark skin bias has sent letters to actor Shah Rukh Khan and a fairness product brand to stop such ads.bollywood Updated: Nov 11, 2013 13:59 IST
Women of Worth (WOW), an organisation that initiated the campaign Dark Is Beautiful earlier this year against Indian society's prejudice against dark skin, say they have sent letters (copies of which are with HT) to Shah Rukh Khan and a fairness product brand, along with a petition signed by 22,000 people, to stop their ads.In the letter, they urge Shah Rukh to "lead the change by saying 'no' to unfair advertising".
When asked, SRK's spokesperson said they haven't received the letter.
Meanwhile, Kavitha Emmanuel, founder and director of WOW, says, "We will address other ads too. We are not against Shah Rukh… but this is a starting point."
Nandita Das who features in the said ad was unavalaible for comment.
Earlier this year, when Nandita became the face of the Dark Is Beautiful campaign — that protests against skin colour bias — it got a lot of attention.

Goldman Sachs: Don't buy commodities even after their selloff
Bank still sees long-term case for holding commodities
Commodities have struggled in 2015, hurt by China's slowdown, but Goldman Sachs says it's still not time to go bargain hunting.
"[W]e don't believe that current prices present an appealing entry point to position for higher commodity returns, despite the perceived asymmetric risk-reward at low spot prices and post such weak returns," analysts at the bank said in a note dated Wednesday.
The analysts said they "continue to believe that the downside risks to our forecasts are non-negligible, in particular in the oil market in the near term as storage utilization continues to climb."
Goldman's target this year for West Texas Intermediate crude CLZ5 is $45 a barrel, and it expects $50 a barrel for Brent crude UK:LCOF6 WTI was trading at about $41 early Thursday, while Brent wavered below $45.
Regarding copper HGZ5 the analysts said they "see a long list of bearish catalysts for copper around the turn of the year" and during 2016's first quarter.
The bearish view on commodities doesn't take away from the "long-term strategic case for including commodities in an asset allocation," said the note from Michael Hinds, Damien Courvalin, Jeffrey Currie and other Goldman analysts. "In addition to higher returns in the future, we continue to see clear benefits from commodities' structural low correlations to other assets and strong inflation hedging ability."
Goldman has been penning downbeat notes on gold GCZ5 and commodities now and then this year.

HUNDREDS OF PAKISTANIS Hold Anti-Capitalist #OWS Protest (Video)
The Obama-endorsed anti-capitalist Occupy Wall Street movement gained support from socialists in Pakistan on Wednesday. Hundreds of Pakistanis marched against capitalism in Islamabad, Pakistan.
The #OWS supporters say they will keep protesting until capitalism is replaced by socialism in the country.
Iran Press News reported:
Hundreds of Pakistani workers, tradesmen and students have staged rallies in the capital, Islamabad, to protest against capitalism in the country, Press TV reports.
Wednesday's rallies were inspired by the "Occupy Wall Street" movement which erupted in New York in mid-September to protest social and economic inequalities and corporate greed in the US.
"Under capitalism people can't live a dignified life, they can't even meet their basic needs. I think in this system people are not able to get jobs, they are not able to make ends meet," said a protester.
Protesters also marched towards the World Bank office in Islamabad and chanted slogans against the international financial institutions.
Demonstrators also denounced the privatization of government companies, saying capitalists wanted to take total control of all the public money.
"Our serious problem is the policies of new liberalists and capitalists, for example the privatization of the telecommunication company has been a total disaster, restructuring of railway company has been a disaster and the big dams we built with World Bank money has also been a disaster environmentally, socially and economically," said a protester.
Severe economic challenges including energy shortages and rising inflation, deterioration of public services like health and education and an unusual increase in the cost of basic amenities, are among the main causes of people's dissatisfaction in Pakistan.
And you wonder why these idiots are poor as dirt?

Led by the Porphyrogenitus himself, the infantry forces of the Basilikoi stand ready to defend the empire from the many barbarians at its borders who would see it burn.
About this creation
The Basilikoi are a vast empire spanning hundreds of inhabited stars and many times that many uninhabitable systems that provide endless resources to fuel the empire's military machine. Unfortunately, those resources are needed, for barbarians always seek to take what they can from the wealthy and civilized empire. At the forefront of the constant struggle to protect the citizens of the Basilikoi stand the brave men of the imperial military.
The son and heir of the emperor is the Porphyrogenitus, meaning "born in the purple." He wields a golden Fire Storm pistol, which is an experimental weapon that uses highly excited exotic particles to tear apart targets at a subatomic level. He also uses an Orange Transparent Chainsaw Spatha, and his armor is a more ornate version of the Hetairoi armored vacuum suit.
Here the Porphyrogenitus stands near a partial squad of Hetairoi (the Companions, the elite guard of the emperor), with an Assault Squad arrayed in front of him.
These are officers of the Basilikoi army. On the right is a Dekarch, commander of a squad of ten. In the middle is a Lieutenant, commanding a platoon of three squads. On the left is a Captain, commanding a company of three platoons with his own attached command squad. Officers are given advanced versions of the standard reactive cloth vacuum suit, and wield both kinetic penetrator pistols and battle steel sabres.
The Stratiotes are the backbone of the Basilikoi military. They serve as both ground troops and marines, and are armed with kinetic penetrator rifles, sometimes called sliver guns for the small depleted uranium darts that they fire at very high velocity, accelerating them with a mix of artificial and anti-gravity fields inside the barrel of the weapon. Every soldier has a reactive cloth vacuum suit designed to defeat most small arms while retaining flexibility and light weight.
The Heavy Kinetic Penetrator is the man-portable anti-armor weapon of choice for the Basilikoi, typically deployed on a one-per-squad basis. They fire a more massive projectile at higher velocity than the basic rifle, though their greater size makes them unwieldy against the smallest targets.
Fire Storm is the name of a secret weapon project undertaken by Basilikoi scientists. It uses highly excited exotic particles to shred targets on a subatomic level. The technique for generating and controlling those particles is perhaps the single most well-protected secret in the empire, as the weapon system has been instrumental in the survival of civilization in the face of constant barbarian threats. These man-portable cannons are employed for area-of-effect squad support, though only the central military units controlled directly by the emperor and his son have access to the weapon on a per-squad level.
The Scout-Sniper is a vital support unit, offering recon and long-range, accurate fire support to the regular troops. Wearing adaptive camo cloaks over their reactive cloth vacuum suits, the Scout-Snipers can infiltrate behind enemy lines and remove sentries, officers, heavy weapons crews, and other high-value targets with precision. Their sniper rifles fire slightly heavier KPs than standard rifles at a higher velocity, and they also feature advanced targeting sensors.
Assault squads feature reinforced helmets and ceramic breast- and back-plates. The commander feature here has the gold-tinted visor indicative of rank, and wields both a heavy kinetic penetrator pistol and a Chainsaw Spatha. Typical Assault Squads feature three more troopers armed in the same fashion.
Shredders are similar to shotguns, though they too use gravitic fields to accelerate depleted uranium kinetic penetrators to very high velocities. The difference between shredders and rifles is that the latter fire single projectiles while the former fire a spread of smaller KPs that have superior performance at short range but lack medium- and long-range stopping power and accuracy. They are a favored weapon of Assault squads, typically deployed three at a time.
Shields are constructed from a composite of ceramic armor and battle steel, allowing the Assault troopers who carry them to advance with relative impunity into the face of heavy fire. Combined with their heavy pistols, this makes them devastating in urban combat and ship boarding actions.
Commandos are elite troops experts in infiltration, sabotage, multiple weapon specializations and cross-training, demolitions, as well as "black" operations.
The standard weapon for commandos and the elite Hetairoi is the kinetic penetrator carbine, a slightly smaller version of the standard rifle. It is more maneuverable without sacrificing accuracy or damage, though the higher acceleration necessitated by the shorter barrel length leads to increased recoil, so generally only the best marksmen can use the carbines without a drop in performance.
The Auxilia Infantry Robot is a capable design able to use most infantry weapons, though it requires that they be modified to remove the stocks. Heavily armored and programmed with the best combat subroutines, the Auxilia is a welcome sight to pinned-down Basilikoi troops.
The Tek-Arkanos is a member of a cybernetic cult existing within the empire. Utterly devoted to the person of the emperor, they employ technologies so far in advance of everyone else that they are akin to magic. Capable of manipulating their environment seemingly at will, they make deadly opponents when they choose to take the field.
When diplomacy, bribery, economic pressure, and military might all fail, the Basilikoi dispatch assassins, highly-skilled, unacknowledged specialists equipped with the latest in ceramic-plated reactive cloth vacuum suits, helmets featuring the best sensors available, and specialist weapons capable of firing very small KPs at extreme velocities with a very high rate of fire. Veritable killing machines, those few living enemies of the empire who are aware of the existence of the assassins speak of them in hushed tones, constantly looking over their shoulders, waiting for the inevitable to happen.

dude this is realy cool! Who are the guys in the backround of the second picture? With the OTC's and space suits?
Those are barbarian bodyguards (Varangians-in-Space, as it were) for a Basilikoi Navy Captain (old star wars imperial shuttle pilot with gold shoulder boards and gold visor on black helmet).

Statement from the Montserrat Tourist Board
Following the eruption of Soufriere Hills Volcano which blew off a significant portion of its dome last week end Caribbean Weekly are releasing a statement Director of Tourism Ernestine Cassell, who mainatains that everything is being done to keep the Island running. There are reports of some heavy rain in the North that are assisting with washing the ash away. Residents are said to be in high spirits.
Once again, Mother Nature has demonstrated that she is in control of Montserrat`s ultimate destiny.
The Soufriere Hills Volcano blew off a significant portion of the dome that has been threatening to collapse for several months. Government and residents have been preparing for such an event for quite some time.
Preliminary reports indicate that tons of wet ash and mud fell on communities from Salem, with lighter ash falls and some pumice and small rock fragments on communities in the far north.
At first glance, the landscape resembles what one would imagine the surface of Mars to be like. But don`t count Montserrat out in terms of her ability to be a gracious hostess.
Give us a couple of days to clear the ash and mud and we will be happy to welcome visitors in our usual warm and hospitable manner.
Our advice is, "You`ve got to see it to believe it!"

Proper management of your vehicle's spare parts is not easy, especially if you have no background in vehicles and vehicle management. However, this can be learned. As such, it is important to take note of some things you need to do if you want to properly manage and take care of your vehicle's spare parts. Here are three tips you should always keep in mind:
1. Schedule regular reviews of the most critical spare parts.
The first thing you need to do is set a regular session where you can review the most critical spare parts. Aside from helping you determine the extent of work that has been done, this will also help you assess when you should buy or purchase new spare parts. Likewise, a regular review will help create a good manufacturing environment.
2. You need to determine if a spare part really has to be replaced or not.
Sometimes, you purchase a new spare part intending to replace the old one. As it turns out, it is still functioning well, so the new one you purchased cannot yet be used. To prevent this from happening, find ways to determine the actual state of your spare parts. Likewise, if you know the condition of your vehicle's spare parts, you will be able to make a plan of action and refer to it when necessary. Knowing the actual condition of your spare parts means determining whether or not they should be replaced already.
3. You should continuously improve spare parts management.
If you have a good spare parts management system, it will be easy for you to determine when you need to replace, as well as what should be replaced. Additionally, this will allow you to thoroughly analyze which of the spare parts are critical and which ones are not. If you can do this, it will be easier for you to come up with a plan of action. As such, you are assured of continuous quality for your spare parts and vehicles.
Efficient management of your spare parts is an essential factor in the success of your manufacturing business.

We made it to the end of May. Hoorah! Summer is creeping up on us and I'm so excited to welcome its arrival.
If you read my Best of the Week segment last week, I talked about May being a bridge between rainy days and my favorite season (Which is summer… just to clarify. But I think I've made that pretty obvious throughout this blog).

Today in the United States, nearly 1 in 3 children has atypical needs. So, let's first define what I mean when I say — atypical needs. Atypical needs are deviations in the type of supports required to help a child reach their full potential. Such as additional time to finish a test or task, advanced home work since the child finishes too quickly, etc. To put numbers down, there are nearly:
- 6 million students supported by IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)
- 4 million students who have impromptu medical needs
- 8 million students who have English language learning needs
- 4 million students who are so smart that they outperform their peers and get bored in regular classes
That's roughly 22 million children of the 57 million school going population. Why is this number important? Because nearly 40% of the 22 million won't graduate high-school with a diploma. Why? Due to inconsistent and inadequate support from adults in their lives. Studies have shown that even if one adult is active in a child's life it increases their chances of success significantly.
Countless studies conducted by the US Department of Education and the National Institute of health have indicated that collaborative child development yields consistent and positive outcomes for these students. Over a two year period, these studies found that children supported by a collaborative team (teachers, parents etc.) had increased self-worth, accuracy and completion of home and class work, and increased social, emotional, and academic competency. When a team of people are involved and sharing information, a cognitive bias called 'empathy gap' which is the leading cause of adversarial relationships, starts to dissipate and in turn increases trust and respect. Trust and respect are the basis of all successful relationships. Current adversarial relationships have cost schools and districts nearly $90 million annually on litigations for inadequate and inconsistent care and instructional support for these children.
So what is collaborative child development? How does someone enable such a team?
Collaborative child development is a co-ownership between multiple team members on a child's outcomes by enabling a dialogue amongst each team member to provide input on what is working and not working for a child. It is the ability to work as a team in order to modify the necessary care and instruction needed for a child to reach their goals.
There are three major contributors to enabling collaborative teams:
Ownership: Creating action teams consisting of parents, teachers, and therapists (if involved) to have shared ownership on recording observations, making decisions and implementing the necessary interventions.
Effective Tools: Enabling a bi-directional communications amongst team members using daily notes, report cards, notebooks, or new applications such as Kidhoo.
Personalizing Support: Identifying and implementing interventions that account for various socio economic, environmental, and familial situations at home, in school, and in the community.
This is not a comprehensive list, merely somethings that worked for my son and what was identified in the studies I researched. So, to enhance this list I would love if you can share what you did to successfully enable such teams and how it impacted students in the comments below.

NO fewer than 3,000 people have benefited from the Community Services Women and Youth Employment (CSWYE) Programme, a project of the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment programme (SURE-P), the Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu, has said.
He spoke in Kaduna when he visited the state Governor Mukhtar Yero and the Emir of Zauzau, Alhaji Sheu Idris.
He said the beneficiaries include 2,200 males, 800 females, and 488 persons with disabilities.
He said: "These beneficiaries have received their monthly stipends up to June 2013, to the tune of N119 million, which, added to the running cost remitted to the state implementation unit for the project, sums up to N159 million so far.
''In the Northwest, a total of 21,000 women, youths and persons with disabilities are benefitting from the project and a total of N929 million has been spent in the geo-political zone from on this project alone
"The programme is a laudable social security intervention by the Federal Government, the first if its kind in the history of Nigeria. Kaduna is among the few states, who have received stipends up to June 2013."
Wogu said the project was designed with unique features that ensure direct impact on these members of the society, who form the majority of the poor, unskilled and unemployed Nigerians, by transferring parts of the wealth saved from the partial removal of oil subsidy directly to them seamlessly, thereby empowering them economically.
He said the ministry was ready to explore areas of possible partnerships between the Federal, state and local government.
He also said: "Another purpose for this visit is to explore areas of possible partnerships between the Federal, State and Local Governments on the Community Services, Women and Youths Employment CSWYE, SURE-P project in tackling the hydra-headed problems of unemployment.
"Their potentials could be harnessed in other areas of development within the state like skills-for-jobs in marketable areas, preferably related to the type of services they were engaged in during their participation in this project. Our technical team, under the Kaduna State and other Northwest states in the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) would be available to work with your team on any of these suggested areas for collaboration on this laudable project."
Responding, Governor Yero said the state was much aware of the Federal Government's efforts at creating jobs and reducing the poverty through the programme.
He said: "There is the need for the Federal Government, states and local governments to have a kind of synergy so that there will be a programme in such a way that it would transform the life of the people at the same time.
"It is going to be very important even if it is one aspect that we would sit down and agree. And I would like to advise that we look at the issue of empowerment very seriously.
"We have initial challenge when some people complained that they have been working but not paid. We report to the state co-ordinators and I am happy the money was paid. I am happy to hear today that in Kaduna State, all the beneficiaries have been paid till June. We, in Kaduna State, are able to key into the programme on time, as the minister has attested to it. When the issue came up, the coordinator for Kaduna State and the three zonal coordinators in the state met to know the activities of the SURE-P.
"But one thing that is very critical is sustainability because once it is sustained and there is prompt payment, people will be encouraged to continue doing what they are surposed to do. It will also help in creating opportunity that people have what they are doing and will not be involved in something that will create crisis. But if it is not sustained, there is going to be serious problem. We must, therefore, face the issue of sustainability and focus it, so that through SURE-P projects, the people trained will be able to sustain themselves and the programme will be sustained.''
On empowerment, he said the government needs to train some people before they can be given incentives and to start their business with.
The Emir of Zauzau , Alhaji Sheu Idris, said in a civilised society, it is only dialogue that will promote unity and understanding to encourage unity. He commended the minister for taking such step.
He said: "In our own side here, I want to reaffirm to our honourable minister that we are doing everything possible to enlighten our people. After the deliberation, we will online to enlighten our people, especially people from rural areas who are always having a lot of hopes. My only appeal to all of you that you don't hesitate in your efforts to continue doing what you are doing. I know it is not easy, sometimes you will be criticised, but it doesn't matter, you have to continue in that way.
"Whatever we do, we must have consideration to promote unit throughout the nation, and dedication to duties is most important. We do hope that you find the best way to encourage dedication to duties, that is through giving due promotion to the right people, giving the right thing to the right people at the right time. If that is done, I am sure you will find the job much easier.''

Irish born and U.S. based Dr. Pearse Lyons, best known as the founder of Alltech which sponsored three international equestrian championships, has passed away on 8 March 2018. He was 73 years old.
In the late 1970s, Lyons immigrated to the United States. His agricultural company Alltech grew out of his vision to sustain the planet and all things living in it by applying his yeast fermentation expertise to agricultural challenges.
Alltech focuses on improving animal, crop and human health and performance through its innovative use of yeast fermentation, enzyme technology, algae and nutrigenomics.
Dr. Lyons also had a keen interest in brewing and purchased the Lexington Brewing Company to resurrect the brewing and distilling tradition of Lexington that dates back to 1794. The first beer the Alltech Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co., produced was Kentucky Ale, and Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale, which came to be by placing Kentucky Ale into freshly emptied bourbon barrels from nearby distilleries to soak up the fresh bourbon and oak flavors.
Dr. Lyons spearheaded Alltech's commitment to international equestrian sport by sponsoring the 2009 European Dressage Championships and then the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky, which led to his receipt of the Commonwealth of Kentucky's first-ever Legacy Award in 2011. He also sponsored the 2014 World Equestrian Games in Caen, France.

Some nonverbal ticks and how to correct them, finding balance is the key:
Eye Contact-
Eye contact is a double edged sword, too much will make you come off as aggressive and too little will make u seem disinterested. The trick is to maintain it in key moments of the interaction and look away when the situation is not so tense. If u leave the interview and you do not know the color of the interviewers eyes, then you have not maintained enough eye contact. Remember to look away at times as well.
Eye Rolling -
Eye rolling is never a good idea, people often toll their eyes when they disagree with someone or feel that the other person has said something dumb, the problem is they never know that they are doing it. It is important to have control over what your doing at all times.
Posture -
During an interview, you need to sit up straight – not so straight that your stiff like a surfboard – by doing this you appear interested in the conversation you are having with the person. Slouching gives the exact opposite impression.
Hand Shakes -
A hand shake can give the employer a good or bad impression just like eye contact, a firm grip can give the impression of confidence but you don't want to break bones either.
You may not do it on purpose, but tapping your feet or fingers can give the impression that you are restless and have something better to do.
Some easy ways to practice your body language are by videotaping yourself, this shows all your ticks and often what us see might embarrass you. Working with a friend is also a good way to realize your mistakes, a friend can always remind you when you are doing something wrong. Remember body language is a tell tale sign of what is under the surface.
Do you find any other ticks worth sharing? Please post them in the comment section below.

Butler 81, Utah 69
Martin's big night helps Butler roll past Utah
MICHAEL MAROT | Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Kelan Martin scored a season-high 29 points and Paul Jorgensen matched his career high with 16 on Tuesday night, leading Butler past Utah 81-69.
The Bulldogs (7-2) have won four in a row, all five home games this season and extended their winning streak over nonconference foes at Hinkle Fieldhouse to 40.
Donnie Tillman finished with 20 points and Sedrick Barefield scored 14 as the Utes (6-2) lost for the first time in three games.
It didn't exactly go the way new Butler coach LaVall Jordan drew it up.
The Bulldogs blew an early seven-point lead and trailed by as much as 25-17 midway through the first half before closing the half on a 17-6 spurt to take a 34-31 lead.
Utah never really recovered.
The Utes tied the score at 39 on Gabe Bealer's 3-pointer with 17:33 left then gave up 14 consecutive points, a run that ended with Jorgensen making his fourth 3-pointer to give the Bulldogs a 53-39 lead with 14:12 to play.
But the Utes did make one final run.
Trailing 72-57 after Kamar Baldwin scored seven straight for Butler, Utah went on a 12-2 spurt to get within 74-69 with 2:29 to go.
Martin closed it out by scoring five points down the stretch. He also had 11 rebounds for his third double-double of the season and his second in a row.
Tyler Wideman scored 18 points for Butler.
Utah: The Utes certainly had their chances. But they missed too many shots at the rim and never really had an answer for the Bulldogs' offense once it got rolling. While Utah is good defensively, it must find more scoring to become a more prominent player on the national stage.
Butler: No, it wasn't pretty. But the Bulldogs still found a way to deliver the knockout blow. The key was that first-half rally, which swung the momentum, got the crowd back in the game and seemed to fuel them in the second half. The result: Another solid win on the resume.
Martin came into the game at No. 16 on Butler's career scoring list.
It didn't take him long to move into No. 15, passing one of the best-known players in school history, Bobby Plump.
Martin made two free throws with 17:21 left in the first half to give him 1,440 — one more than Plump. He finished the game with 1,465.
Utah: Heads home to Salt Lake City where it will Utah State on a neutral court Saturday in the Beehive Classic.
Butler: Hosts former Horizon League foe Youngstown State on Saturday.

If a person has told you all they have to offer, I will summarize their contribution and let them leave the puzzle. If you're overlooking something important or going down the wrong track for too long, I may drop a hint through one of the characters.
Fred and his twelve year old son Simon went to visit the local gun range, where the father was a competitive shooter and Simon helped out. The place had several ranges for target shooting, including a pistol range, a rifle range, and an indoors airgun range.
It was a hot day, and Simon went inside the airgun range building with a couple of friends to cool off, while the father was practicing target shooting at the rifle range. The pistol range was home to a prestigeous target shooting competition. Sitting with his friends in the safe zone behind some air gunners, Simon suddenly collapses. Blood is oozing from a bullet wound in his temple. A few hours later, he dies in the hospital without regaining consciousness.
People at your disposal, whom you may ask any lateral question at any time:
- Wilma and Winnie, friends of Simon and the only direct witnesses to his death.
- Fred, the father of Simon, who knows all the secrets about airguns, firearms and target shooting. He is understandably distraught, but determined to help the investigation in any way he can.
- Roger, the gun range owner. He knows all about the layout of the range, the safety measures, and any problems they've experienced.
- Melinda, the medical examiner who did the autopsy on Simon and has all important findings on file.
- Weber, your good friend who works for the police as a weapons and ballistics expert. He can also give you a second opinion on things like the layout and safety of the gun range, if you ask him to check up on the things Roger is telling you. Whenever you wish, you can bring Weber and Fred together and ask them both the same questions.
- The people who were doing target shooting on the range at the time of the death. You may choose to only question one group (air gunners, pistol shooters, riflemen). You may have Weber examine their weapons, by telling him which group of weapons to collect and what to look for. If one person becomes a suspect, you may question him or her individually.
You start your day by collecting the bullet from Melinda, and bringing it to your friend Weber for close examination.

Two red-band clips from 21 Jump Street
Well, 21 JUMP STREET looks like it's exactly what you'd expect. I'm pretty certain you will know if you're going to love this or hate it depending on how funny you think Jonah Hill is, and how keen you are on the old show being turned into an R-rated comedy.
The above clip of course features Ice Cube as the Angry Black Captain (is that his character's actual name?) and is predictable, even if it's great to see Ice Cube back in a comedy again.
The second clip's much more effective and pretty damn hysterical, in my opinion, and sees our heroes trying to get recently-ingested drugs out of their system as fast as possible.
21 JUMP STREET infiltrates schools on March 16th. What do you guys think of what you've seen of it so far? Let us know in the comments below!
