=Sorry for my english
I've been working with the sample provided at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kushals/archive/2010/01/04/base-designer-with-additional-adornments.aspx and
the workaround suggested for activities that don't have a custom designer (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kushals/archive/2010/03/12/base-designer-with-additional-adornments-ii.aspx).
However, I cannot get the adornments to work - they simply do not show up. I notice that someone else had the same problem as me and posted a comment on the second blog article and didn't get a reply. I've also tried contacting the author with no success.
Does anyone have the source code to the sample, or know how to get it working?
Not usre if this is the right place to post this but sure many guys must have used this I have a siteA at
and Site B at

Any ideas what i ne
I have designed a custom activity designer developed using Activity Designer XAML and using that in a rehosted Workflow environment on a WPF. I have changed the outer design of the Activity designer by setting the style template to my required
style. If I do this, I am unable to add the activities to the custom activity having my custom activity designer.
Am I missing anything.? Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance,
I am developing a custom control which includes an embeded image to display in the design mode of the control. The Visual Studio designer does not display the image of the custom control. Here is the html generated by the overloaded GetDesignTimeHtml() function:

<input type="text" value="[DropDownListMultiColumn1]" style="height:25px;width:175px;margin:0;padding:0;border-spacing:0;" />

This markup displays as expected within an html form. However, in Visual Studio, it shows a red x where the image should be displayed.

<input type="text" value="[DropDownListMultiColumn1]" style="height:25px;width:175px;margin:0;padding:0;border-spacing:0;" />

This markup displays as expected within an html form. However, in Visual Studio, it shows a red x where the image should be displayed.
As we don't have the intelligence support in WF4 rehosted designer itself, we wanted to provide the custom window to build the expressions. To open the custom window we have used
IExpressionEditorService, IExpressionEditorInstance…
Code to open Custom Expression window.....
class CustomExpressionEditorInstance :

SQL Server 2005 Reporting Servicesis a great tool that offers a centralized approach to storing and rendering reports. It also lets users view and download reports without installing additional software. Plus, reports can be saved in any number of different formats using custom report renderers. In this article, the author will develop one such report renderer that outputs HTML reports, but the skills you'll learn can easily be used to create a renderer for Microsoft Word documents or any other format of your choosing.

The design-time architecture of Windows Forms in the .NET Framework has made development much more flexible than it had been with MFC. With Windows Forms, you can drag one of your custom controls from the toolbox and drop it onto the Visual Studio design surface and even though Windows Forms knows nothing about the control, it's able to host it and let you manipulate its properties-not possible in MFC. In this article, the author discusses what's going on under the covers as you design your forms and then walks through the creation of a bare-bones forms designer.

Suddenly sharepoint designer decided today that it doesn't want to insert a custom list form anymore...
To be more specific, it doesn't work anymore in a site that uses the Microsoft budgeting and tracking template. In a website that uses an out of the box template, it still works.
It did work before, because I did it in other websites using the same template (it's broken there as well now).
Why oh why does SharePoint refuse to do this now?
I searched google and here on the forums, but all I could find was some issues after installing SP1, but we did that already long time ago and it was still working after that. I checked with our infrastructure guys and they didn't install new updates they
I also tried the solutions listed here:
But they don't fix the problem.
So my problem is, I can go to Insert > SharePoint Controls > Custom List Form
I pick my list, content type and form type, I hit OK and... nothing happens.
I created several forms (Create/Edit/View) for a SharePoint list, using Custom List Forms. I'm using Content Types in the list to ensure that each item only has the necessary fields. When I created the ASPX forms, and inserted the Custom
List Forms, I selected the correct Content Type, and I got the right fields inserted in the form.
Now, for some reason I can't identify, every time I create a new form, and insert a Custom List Form, SPD is bringing ALL fields from the list, instead of just bringing the fields included in the selected Content Type.
I have tried many different things to solve the problem, including creating new lists/content types/forms, etc. but SPD is doing the same thing all the time.
Can somebody tell me what may have gone wrong in SPD or MOSS?

Marketing Isn't What You Learned in College, Online at Work or Anywhere…
"People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do simply proves what you believe."
― Simon Sinek, Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action (on Amazon)
Marketing is flawed. Marketing is broken. Marketing suffers because of four forces that conspire against producing your intended results. These forces include college education and career training, internet research fallacies, an industry filled with companies that have poor incentives to do better and finally there are the employers hopelessly misinformed and stuck with old or incorrect information. These forces have resulted in convincing us that marketing is a set of tools and tactics instead of a way of being, an identity the permeates every thought, decision and interaction with your intended audience, a way of communicating. We've been taught that marketing is what we do, not why we do it.
Why what you learned is wrong:
Marketing and its implementation through advertising and tools is broken. Innovation focuses on cost efficiency and profits for agencies and service providers instead of reducing overhead, increasing transparency and focusing on marketing's objective of creating a relationship with a consumer for mutual long-term benefit all the while communicating brand in a way that resonates and connects.
The College Problem
Marketing isn't what you learned in college. The essence of marketing isn't found in a textbook or obtained from tired lectures that are repeated each and every semester with tweaks focused on "recent innovations." If those days ever existed they are long gone.
In college we learn about the 4Ps. Whether you studied marketing as an undergrad or as part of an MBA program or other training, you can't escape the 4Ps, also known as the the pillars of marketing. You were probably taught early on in your coursework that if you get those down, you're on the right track. In this case, you and your professors would be wrong.
In case you didn't pay attention in class or you forgot what they were, here is your review.
The 4 Ps
- Product (or Service)
- Price
- Promotion
- Place
Product (or Service)
A tangible good or intangible service. Marketers understand how features translate into benefits for consumers of the product or service.
Obviously this is what the product is offered at and how that compares to the market at large for exact or similar products.
Promotion focuses on communication channels and how your message is relayed to current or potential consumers.
How will you make the product available and get it into the right hands?
Academically these are good thought exercises, but marketing is so much more than this tactical framework. The 4 Ps provide context and clarity of vision and a scaffold for which to discuss ideas, values and the value of your product or service itself. They are perceived as the nuts and bolts for a plan for "putting the right product and/or service in the right place, at the right price, at the right time." Marketing literature will discuss this ad nauseum. Some key challenges with the model include the following:
- Product suffers greatly in this framework because it is presented as static and flowing through a product lifecycle instead of evolving and ever current. The product isn't the singular widget. You are the product and what you produce is a detail.
- Price suffers because a decision to buy is rarely about price but rather the perceived value a product and/or service maintains in the eyes of the purchaser. Price is built around the package including your company, team. Again it's not about the widget.
- Promotion is unfairly weighted against the other buckets. A marketing maxim is that your message and your brand are your product among other things. Get this wrong and you won't find success.
- Place is easily at odds with product and at the same time is inherent in the product. You can't have one without the other.
Your product and/or service should solve a pain point, one of considerable value and importance to the consumer. From there, your job is to get them access to it or into their hands. Beyond that, how you package everything and build your brand are deciders on whether you win or lose.
Academia is often late to the game with tactics especially as they relate technology. To be sure, talking about tools and technology is far easier than talking about identity, values and relationships. Unfortunately this misses the mark in teaching what marketing truly is.
Internet and Offline Research Bias
Marketing isn't learned from the garbage you read online, find through Google searches that lead to opinion articles on blogs and newspapers or by reading any of the selfagrandizing thought pieces put out by industry press and guest writers. If the first things that come to mind are ad campaigns, analytic tools and conversion rates, you've fallen into the trap.
Online, the amount of noise to filter through is seemingly endless and at times deafening. The amount of useless and confusing search engine optimized information is even greater. Publishers of online content will lay traps for their prey with content that ranks well in common search results. Driving content to topical pages generates advertising revenue or worse yet, affiliate commissions from "programs" that promise to teach the ins and outs of marketing. When it comes to marketing knowledge online, altruism is hard to come by.
As far as your Google searches go, those tips, trick, strategies and tactics you learned to get more users and conversions?…unlearn them now. Don't depend on them. They aren't what's important in your marketing success story. They are fleeting at best and usually outdated much like a stock tip read in Money magazine.
Those business books you read were undoubtedly inspirational. In many cases the authors were lucky, in most cases they were pioneers, in almost all cases, the real story isn't the story itself, it's the context of the story. The real story is the person or team behind the story.
The Industry Echo Chamber
Trade articles, particularly those focused on technology and written by industry experts aren't much better for gaining an understanding about marketing. They often aren't more than thinly veiled sales collateral and content marketing pieces. In short, they are well written advertorials. Trade articles represent the structure of an echo chamber, validating how smart we are and how much value we who provide advertising or marketing products and services provide our clients. I say we because I too am guilty of creating noise in the chamber (Back to Basics or The Mobile Advertiser's Dilemma, Say No to the Blame Game in Mobile, The Mobile Publishers Conundrum: Native Apps or Browser Based) as promotion for my fledgling company at the time, Media Armor.
Your Job and Employer
For the web, if you're not in Martech or Adtech, then you're likely the consumer of one or more products or services based on technology for delivering a marketing message such as an email or display ad or perhaps insights about your business. Offline, you may be seduced by agencies or industry experts that produce collateral and TV spots. Much like any consultant, these providers can't know as much about your business as you do. They may be good at the how, but they will never be good at your why.
Marketing isn't what you learned from your job or employer either. You see, marketing is the execution of your brand through communication. It's not the tools, frameworks and numbers themselves. Those are just the the details. For business owners and employees, marketing is a hard fought battle that starts before you've even settled on a company name and product and/or service offering.
Businesses relying on one or more solution are vexed with two issues, one figuring out if a product or service is actually providing value and a return on investment and secondly, who to pay when working with vendors, some of which provide similar or complementary offerings. Not wanting to get burned by every new shiny object, many businesses will rely on performance based payment methods. Accountants trying to allocate costs into the right bucket will happily work with vendors that can attribute performance. Employees, especially those working for small and lean operations will be tasked with proving instant results, staying ahead of the curve while reducing cash burn.
The vendor, now being in the unique position of expert will craft strategies for closing the sale by answering objections through deal structures and metrics that fail to confirm marketing's value such as pay for performance and it's related cousin, attribution. Buckets don't tell the whole story.
What is marketing?
That's what we'll be discovering together. We will arrive at the deep truths we are after through thoughtful conversation and careful introspection for both the how and they why. Throughout our journey some of the themes we'll cover as we studying marketing include:
- Emotion
- Creativity
- Advertising
- Rigid Experimentation
- Trial and Error
- Rational and Irrational Behavior
- Deal Making
- Supply & Demand partnerships
- Reach
- Fraud
- Statistics
- Analysis
- Technology
- An ecosystem
- Evolving
- Interdisciplinary
- Sales
- Your team
- Why
Getting the word out across one or multiple channels. How do we get attention and more importantly, can we keep it? We earn attention and then build on trust. Advertising as a form of communication is ongoing.
"Advertising is based on one thing, happiness. And you know what happiness is? Happiness is the smell of a new car. It's freedom from fear. It's a billboard on the side of the road that screams reassurance that whatever you are doing is okay. You are okay." — Don Draper, Mad Men
This is a myopic view, but it does have merit. Marketing's agent Advertising is built around the notion of emotion.
Creativity takes many forms. Humans are easily anesthetized to the same. We seek out different. When different seeks us out, we notice it.
Rigid Experimentation
Evolution requires experimentation. Success is based on creating a system of repeatable and scalable results. Without a plan, we're just guessing.
Trial and Error
Not all right answers are known. Pioneers inherently know this. Sometimes we have to test things out to see if they work. Failures are success if you learn from them
Rational and Irrational Behavior
Not everything can or will be explained through conversation, data or experimentation. We make the best decisions we can with the information at hand. Sometimes the best laid plans go wrong.
Deal Making
Whether it's gaining exposure through partnerships, better pricing through negotiation or converting consumers, there's an art to the deal. We make deals with our partners, our customers and ourselves.
Supply & Demand Partnerships
Relationships matter. Preferential pricing, guaranteed exposure, long-term revenue all rely on partnerships on both sides.
If marketing doesn't reach it's audience, it doesn't have effect.
Sadly we don't always get what we paid for. The cause can be negligence, malicious or simply not knowing any better.
Many tools give us data. From the data we can infer knowledge.
Understanding is achieved through analysis. When looking at programs we should see to understand "why that happened." This can come from a combination of conversation, and qualitative and quantitative data.
There is no doubt that technology can make our lives easier and can provide efficiency and scale. There are many "solutions" to marketing problems. Technology that helps us connect efficiently and effectively is important to marketing.
An Ecosystem
No one company or product does it all or can do it all well. Even Google is part of the ecosystem, not the ecosystem itself. Every seller and provider is fighting for a piece of the marketing pie all the while competing for attention.
Nothing is created or operated in a vacuum if it is to do well. The more varied the thinking, the better. Your customers are online AND offline. They use a variety of channels and technologies. Context is ever changing.
At the end of the day, "sales solves all business problems." They are the lifeblood of any company. Regardless, tactics and methods can have a cost and/or a benefit.
What worked yesterday may or may not work today. Our knowledge and understanding of consumers is increasing. Applying data and learning benefits everyone.
Your team
Everything starts with team. Your brand, your identity, values and solutions all come from the team whether a company of one or one thousand.
Your Why
You can have the best product or service offering but if it doesn't resonate with your consumers' core, you won't be successful. Brands take years and even decades to build through ongoing relationship building and can be destroyed in seconds. Any action or actions that are incongruent with not only what you stand for, but what your consumers stand for will cause you to fall out of favors.
Marketing is so much more
If you've read this far, you've reconciled with the fact that I was being slightly dramatic with the title. Sure, you've learned a lot from many perspectives to date. Some of what you learned has been great and worked for you. A lot of it likely was not so great and that resonated with you enough to read on. If that's true, you are the one I want to converse with. I've also enumerated many tactics. To be clear, which tactics you choose and how you implement them goes back to your brand. I can't overstate this.
Marketing requires understanding and a plan. It's your business. Marketing is for the long term. Marketing comes from within. Marketing is your soul, your raison d'être. Marketing isn't what you learned. Marketing is who you are and how you convey that externally with everything you do. Let's start marketing intelligently.

The Basin
The history of The Basin is lost. All written knowledge from before a great unknown cataclysm has been destroyed, and any member of a race old enough to have been alive to see it suffers from an unnatural brainfog that prevents them from remembering anything of it.
The world is recovering, but the ancient ways have been lost. Magic is weak, knowledge is highly limited, and any magitechnology or tomes of knowledge that survived the cataclysm are coveted as the highest form of relic imaginable, and are studied by the scholars of Lamphold.
The world is mostly mundane, fiercely superstitious, and xenophobia is high. People are suspicious of elves, wary of dwarves, and anything stranger is feared.

There are many reasons why dogs are considered man's best friend, and one reason is their usefulness in emergency situations when we need rescue dogs. Just as happens with agility and obedience training, canine rescue needs some guiding principles, start your rescue dog training today.
Training your dog's obedience
A feature of the rescue dog is obedience ever since they can not do their job if they do not do what they're told. They should be used to obey commands such as sit, heel, stay, come and jogging exercises. All these must be respected if their owners can be confident that their orders will be respected when necessary.
The agility rescue dog training
Not only dogs sports must be agile, but also dogs that are trained to help other people. At its most basic level, the rescue dogs will be helped by training in physical agility, allowing them to make even the most difficult tasks. This can be handy when they are rescuing people. If they are driven by someone who knows their job, a dog running through agility training will be able to overcome many obstacles your dog might encounter.
Recovery dog training
Recovery is a huge part of any rescue operation. A dog needs to be able to extract either articles or even someone from a place where nobody can enter if you want a dog to retrieve a person, he will have to go through a recovery exercises. He will learn to extract anything, leather, wood or even an injured person while using the fetch command, this is crucial part of rescue dog training.
Training dog on the positioning right
Part of the rescue dog training teaches how to adapt to different exercises, and this part is positioning. Training The positioning is performed both a compulsive and inductive training.
Positioning of training should be something that is taught from the time he is still a puppy. He needs to learn the types of positioning: The position of the front and heel. The heel position teaches the dog to stay close to the coach, parallel to the left foot. The position to teach him to sit in front of the trainer, aligned with the front legs of the coach.
You can teach a dog to adopt the correct position in two ways. The inductive method and compulsive. The compulsively, when used to train the dog how to take the position before him learn to sit in front of the handler. If you use it in conjunction with an order like sitting on the same principle is used - the owner must help the company stand, then sit in front of him. The position must be parallel to the left foot of the owner, asked if the position of the heel. If one speaks of the inductive method, he will use food or treats to teach the dog how to respond to commands from the owner to occupy one of two positions. An example of the inductive method provides the treatment of a pet before giving a command. If he accepts the treatment, give an order like sitting, or come down to right before giving the treat. Remember, the offer, but give him only after placing the order. If you use the compulsive, you can use some physical values, but you should never use it in a way likely to harm the dog. Do not make it hard, use it with gentleness and firmness. If you are rigorous, which might affect the training. If you train a rescue dog, you should know that not a single thing they need to learn. It is a mixture of different commands and skills they need to learn.

Migrant Worker Welcome. Hello again Friends, Yes… many of you have been asking if everything is on board again this year. The answer is yes, yes, yes. As we all know without the help and enthusiasm of all of you, this outreach would never have gotten off the ground many years ago. Our date is Saturday June 17 at our small but mighty Kilbride Church. Now is the time to start pleading with your family, friends and neighbours for men's clothing, shoes, towels, blankets, bedding, pillows and suitcases. We save women's and children's items until the fall. We always need bicycles, too. We are in search of a standalone basketball hoop that we could position in the backyard to be enjoyed by our migrant worker guests and enjoyed by the community at other times. We will once again set up our store on the Friday afternoon at 1pm. We are always open to new suggestions that you think would work well with our guests. Let us know. We have our entertainment set . Unfortunately, the young lady who entertained at the Soup Feast in Hamilton wasn't available. Maybe another time. Always looking for new talent. Won't it be wonderful if we can set up our tables in the backyard ? I hope we are getting our summer's worth of rain now so that the sun will shine and the clouds will clear for us on the 17th of June. Blessings to you and all those you love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Sharon

It has been raining sporadically here in Singapore lately – you can never tell when it's going to pour or how long it will last. Fortunately, the weather cooperated last 31 May. The Happy Hour Calligraphy Workshop took place during a beautiful sunny afternoon at Joo Chiat! I felt very lucky to be surrounded by another batch of creatives who were eager to learn a new craft.
As always, I try to keep my class as intimate as possible. Introducing modern calligraphy to 8 individuals is perfect for all of us! It's always a joy to see how each person's handwriting transforms into a work of art on its own. Those 3 hours were spent effectively learning about the upstrokes and downstrokes and getting our hands inky with drills and flourishes.
The studio is always worth mentioning – I simply love its character. I spent a looooong time trying to find a right venue for my workshops and it was pure serendipity that I stumbled upon Studio@Heaven In A Wildflower. Tea break was such a welcome treat especially with delish cakes from Carpenter and Cook.

I'm again tipping my hat to the lovely ladies who came to the class – some have been traveling, some busy with work and mommy duties, but found the time to pick up a new craft. Thank you to those who came to Singapore just for this workshop – you know who you are! I've been busy as a bee lately, with classes and calligraphy commission works . But each class I teach is a learning process for me as well, and looks like we'll be having more for the rest of the year! Be in the loop by subscribing to the mailing list. Oh, and here's what went on in the inaugural HH Calligraphy Workshop.

Hello, THL! Today I'm not here to talk about teabagging (*snickers*), tea parties or torture memos. Those are discussion-worthy topics for somewhere else. No, today I'm here to talk about the really important stuff. Like how gossip about female celebrities almost always revolves around hair, makeup, weight, romance or clothing. Nothing else really matters.
Now, unless you have been living under an Internet rock, you know Susan Boyle was a contestant seen on last week's Britain's Got Talent, a reality TV show. You can see her segment here on YouTube.
This woman has lit the world on fire, and rightly so. I think a voice like that is an incredible, born-with-it gift. But what continues to niggle at me is how this woman has likely never been given much opportunity to demonstrate this glorious talent of hers because of how she looks. Now, before she even opened her mouth to sing I was wanting to reach through the computer screen and smack people for how utterly dismissive they were. I didn't care whether or not she had talent – she deserved respect and common decency, which she didn't get until she proved herself remarkable. Then suddenly everyone loved her and brought out the "don't judge a book by its cover" comments.
You GO, Susan! Represent for ALL how talent does not mean only if you're young, thin and beautiful. It can come in any package and we should all remember that. But we won't. We'll be surprised again in the future when an "Ugly Duckling" turns out to have been a beautiful swan all along. Because we're people, and people suck. 😉
Only a couple of other entertainment quickies:
A blurb about a French magazine which had on its cover famous actresses/singers/models without make-up on. GASP – you mean people can be beautiful without being airbrushed to death and without make-up caked on their faces?
And an interview in which Lisa Rinna explains how difficult it was to stop starving herself and over-working out for a Playboy photo shoot. Seriously, this makes me very sad indeed.
Other than that, I seem to have a morbid fascination with What Were They Thinking?, a pictorial of (usually female) celebs and how they made some horrible crucify-her! fashion missteps.
Because we've never left the house in something atrocious. I'm going to pretend I didn't just come back from the grocery store wearing unflattering cargo pants and a grey hoodie. With my hair in all awry, my glasses on and my zits showing. How dare I, really?

Sony Xperia Z gets a case of the Android fever: rooted before the actual rollout
Sony Xperia Z has gotten rooted before it had even been released on the global scene. Ironically, DoomLord of XDA-Devs fame used the CF-Auto-Root toolkit from the Nexus 4 rooting odyssey, as before that even using insecure kernel presented numerous issues.
With a slight modification of the Nexus 4 root tool, the Xperia Z is now free for modding and hacking as much as your heart desires, and it is suggested that Sony's device is generally pretty easy to work with in that respect.
Moreover, Sony is not only reluctant to pose much restrictions on its Android handsets, but it is actually encouraging developers to hack and mod, providing devs advices from the shop. Hit the link below for the root procedure, and make note for the time when you get a Z.

Sony has to make a big splash in the US market to be considered relevant. I really like to design, seems modern. But until they make a huge commitment here it will never overtake Samsung.
Of course the hacker friendly mentality would have to go away here in the states.

I'm Gene. I am a social entrepreneur. I run a business to make money; however, the "social" part means I am here to make a difference too. I have started many businesses and each one of them has been quite successful in terms of money and lifestyle, but all of them struggled in the beginning. It is easy to look back now and smile at the mistakes I made and the stress I caused myself while I was "in the trenches", but it was not easy back then.
I was running myself ragged and not getting the results I wanted. When you are "in the trenches" you feel like you are spinning your wheels. Because you are constantly worried about things like payroll and keeping clients happy, I had no one to challenge me and hold me accountable to what I wanted to create.
I made a discovery that changed it all. I began to focus my business (or some call it niching). Honestly, I resisted FOCUSING at first; however, I realized that was essential to the journey to find success and financial freedom. I made millions once I figured this out for myself.
Then a new twist came my way that caused me to leave that old business behind and start a new journey. To be blunt…I lost $3 million in one day, and that moment became a turning point for me that allowed me to create a new business to support and guide business owners "in the trenches" of their own business.
I searched out mentors, coaches and experienced entrepreneurs to discover a deeper understanding of myself and was essential in my journey so that I can eventually help others. I help business owners with new strategies and the much needed support to make their dreams come alive. I am SO thrilled that this is my business because each and every day I know I am making a difference in the world.

Masovian Voivodship
Masovia (Polish: Mazowieckie) [1] is a region in Poland. It contains the capital Warsaw.
Other destinations[edit]
Masovia was part of Poland since the 10th century. In the beginning of the 11th century Płock in Masovia was for a short time the capital of Poland and two Polish kings from that time are burried in the Płock Cathedral. In 1138 Poland was divided in duchies united by the rule of the senior from Kraków and Masovia, with the capital in Płock, became one of these duchies ruled by Bolesław IV the Curly, the later senior of Poland, and his descendants from the local branch of the Piast dynasty. One of them was Konrad I of Masovia, who was the ruler who called the Teutonic Order for help against the Old Prussians in 1226. When the Polish kingdom was restored in 1295, the Duchy of Masovia remained first independent, but in 1351 the dukes of Masovia became vassals of the Kingdom of Poland, and after the death of the last Masovian Piast, Janusz III of Masovia, in 1526, Masovia became a voivodeship of the Poland. In the 16th century the region of Warmińsko-Mazurskie was largely populated by colonists from Masovia. Masovia was annexed by Prussia in the 1795 third partitions of Poland. In 1807 it became part of the Duchy of Warsaw in during the Napoleonic Wars and later part of Congress Poland after the Congress of Vienna. In 1918 Masovia was included within the newly formed Second Polish Republic. During World War II Nazi Germany occupied Poland and Masovia was divided between the General Government and the Province of East Prussia. It was subsequently restored to Poland after the war. Today, Masovia is entering into the composition of i.a. the 1999 created Masovian Voivodeship.
Being home to Warsaw, travelers here will find the most diverse population group of Poland in Mazowieckie and with that the most diverse collection of languages can be found here too. Naturally, Polish is the most widely spoken language, but following that, people will also find a multitude of Poles and foreigners who speak other languages such as English and German. Russian, Ukrainian, and Czech can be understood by a fair amount of Slavic language speakers. Some Poles will also be able to speak Spanish and French.
Get in[edit]
By plane[edit]
Some major airlines, Poland's national carriers LOT Polish Airlines [2], and a low cost airline Centralwings [3] (owned by LOT) and some other low cost airlines fly to Warsaw's Frederic Chopin Airport [4] (WAW). Domestic flights operated by LOT (under Eurolot brand) connect Warsaw with nearly all regional airports in Poland.
Get around[edit]
By train[edit]
Koleje Mazowieckie [5] is the regional train company in Masovia. The main routes within the region are from Warsaw to Skieniewice, to Kutno, to Łuków, to Małkinia, to Dęblin, to Skarżysko-Kamienna, and to Iłowo.

Drink[edit][add listing]
Stay safe[edit]
In Warsaw and other cities, commonsense precautions should prevail - don't flash large amounts of cash around, ensure the safe keeping of valuables, and the like. In rural areas, you'll need to take a few more precautions to save yourself time and hassle. Outside of Warsaw, you'll have a much more difficult time finding doctors or police. In some places, there won't be any gas stations or populated places around for many kilometers. So, you'll want to bring a map so as not to get lost.

The Rebels may only be four practices into the 2013-14 season, but position battles are already well underway—especially at point guard, arguably the most important position on the floor and a spot where the Rebels have no fewer than four players vying for the primary job.
As it stands now, junior DeVille Smith, sophomore Daquan Cook, freshman Kendall Smith and junior Jelan Kendrick are all in the mix, according to Dave Rice.
"There's definitely a battle," Rice said after Friday's practice. "That battle starts in the preseason, in the weight room, on the track. But it gets stronger once practice starts, and so it's still a wide-open deal and we're trying all those guys. The great thing is, they're all competing and battling, and I'm excited about the fact that we have a number of options."
Each player brings a slightly different skill set to the position. DeVille Smith possesses the quickness to penetrate on offense and hound the ball on defense. Cook is a skilled passer with a year in the system (something none of the other candidates has). Kendrick has size (6-foot-7) and playmaking ability. And Kendall Smith has the athleticism to make plays around the rim.
The primary battle appears to be between DeVille Smith and Cook, the two among that group who are considered "true" point guards.
DeVille Smith was widely viewed as the frontrunner heading into preseason, and after a week of full practices, he appears to be fitting in nicely within the Rebels' system. He hasn't dazzled at the offensive end, but he's shown a nice 3-point stroke and good defensive potential.
"I feel like I still have a long way to go," Smith said. "I'm still learning, taking it day by day. All the older guys from last year are showing me stuff—how to get through defenses and all that. But I'm just taking it day by day."
Cook looks to be physically stronger than he was last year, but size (he's very generously listed at 6-foot-1, 170 pounds) will never be an asset for the Baltimore native. Instead, Rice points to his experience as one of his strong suits, but notes that it will take more than that to win the job.
"Daquan of course knows our system," Rice said. "He's been with us for a year, so any time—whether it's the point guard position or any other position—any time you've got returning guys, they just inherently have an advantage early on.
"But we have other new guys who are working hard who will close the gap quickly. So we'll see how that shakes out."
Kendall Smith and Jelan Kendrick are the other two newcomers who could see time at the 1 this season. Neither may be true point guards, but both possess some of the skills necessary to bring value to the position.
"I think the thing that's good for us is that we have depth on our team," Rice said. "And the way we want to play, in terms of more up-tempo and in terms of pressing, we're going to need multiple point guards."
When asked what it would take to win the position battle and earn the starting nod, Rice laid down the job description.
"We need leadership from the point guard spot," Rice said. "We need a guy who defends his position, quarterbacks our defense and makes sure we do a good job of getting the ball stopped. And then runs our transition offense and our half-court offense and just gets other people involved. There's a lot of jobs. It's the hardest position to play, and it's one of the most important positions. There's a lot to it and I'm happy we have as many options as we do."

Well, today's the last day of the 2013 Kilted to Kick Cancer Fundraiser. Thirty days of kilty goodness have been had; wagers have been made; personal humiliation has been promised; and both funds and awareness have been raised. I know this year I've spent a lot more time telling people why I'm wearing a kilt rather than just taking pictures, so I count that as a win.
Good friend, former blogger, retired NH State representative, donor of one of my prize packages, and all-around good guy Bruce and I went to the range yesterday. In kilts. Many evil orange clays were slain (seriously. We went through an entire case of clays. In about 20 minutes. Side note: .223 Remington is AWESOME for orange clays...). And yes, that *is* a peace sign on Bruce's driveway. I didn't judge...
All month long I've been wearing my kilt and posting kilted pictures as part of Kilted to Kick Cancer. As we've done in years past, there's a friendly competition running to see who can raise the most money for prostate cancer research. As I did last year, I have a pretty awesome array of prizes that can be won as well as a challenge to meet my goal! for incentives to donate to the Prostate Cancer Foundation on my behalf. Which you can do here:
As always, thanks to everyone who has or is thinking about donating, and a special thank you to the folks that gave prizes as incentives!
That is all.

After Diluvian
A cruel, thrill-seeking tracker whose cold, calculating nature is compromised only by his loyalty to Abbess Perra.
Bulky and strong, Matrell bears the scars of many battles and carries many cruel looking weapons. The cold and calculating look on his face is enough to intimidate most of his targets. His wild and dirty appearance belies his intelligence, another of his strengths.
Born to a life of cruelty, he has little sympathy for his quarry and remains focused on his work at all times. He loves the thrill of the hunt, seeing it like a fatal chess game for his body and mind. Once, Matrell had loyalties to no one – he wandered the Wilderness, tracking anything for anyone so long as he was paid. Those who got on the wrong side of his deductive mind and cruel, calculating ways rarely escaped.
There was no love for Matrell in his filthy hovel and there was rarely enough food for the entire family — until he started hunting deeper into the Wilderness, that is. In the Deepwood Circle, Matrell learned to watch and learn the patterns of the some of the most dangerous predators before striking. He studied strange, dangeorus animals and other hunters, picking up techniques and developing incredible new ones. He quickly got bored hunting beasts and moved to hunting people. He rarely cares who he hunts, just that they provide challenge and he gets paid.
When Ayla Rat-Keeper began to infringe on his reputation as the best tracker in the Fallows, he expanded his route, determined to one-up the timid rat queen. It then that he met Perra.
Perra was the first person to look past his brutish appearance and see the genius hunter beneath. Against his better judgement he helped Perra wage a small war against the Staghead Sanct, paid only in promises of wealth and power. When Perra assumed Abbotship of Staghead, Matrell again found himself swayed by her to remain as Pastor. Though he has no love of the Neolithic Gods and little loyalty, he found himself accepting his position.
Matrell's solitary nature keeps him a stranger in Staghead, despite his position. He has no desire to be liked, though he takes pride in being feared.

Great Science
Boston teachers and Tufts researchers collaborate to engage high school students in learning about disease
An infectious-disease curriculum piloted by researchers at Tufts Medical School and 10 teachers at two public high schools in Boston has shown promise in increasing students' scientific and health literacy, according to an article published in May in the journal Academic Medicine.
The curriculum is part of the NIH-funded Great Diseases Project, designed expand students' knowledge of the so-called "great diseases" (infectious disease, neurological disorders, metabolic disease, and cancer).
The real-world approach to teaching students about infectious disease succeeded by boosting engagement, science literacy and critical thinking among the participating juniors and seniors from Boston Latin School and Madison Park Technical and Vocational High School, according to the article, which was co-authored by Berri Jacque, a research assistant professor with the Great Diseases Project and co-director of the Center for Translational Science Education in the medical school's Department of Anatomy and Cellular Biology, Katherine Malanson, a postdoctoral fellow with the Great Diseases Project, and the 10 public school educators.
Tests taken before and after the initiative showed that students' understanding of the course content more than doubled, regardless of gender or ethnicity. Another positive outcome was that the high school teachers gained self-confidence about teaching the material.
"How science is taught in high school differs greatly from how it is carried out in a real-life laboratory," said Karina F. Meiri, a professor at the medical school and member of the Cell, Molecular & Developmental Biology; Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics; and Neuroscience program faculties at the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences. "Our curriculum teaches critical thinking, based on scientific inquiry as it is actually practiced in laboratories around the world."
The curriculum was designed by two Boston high school biology teachers in concert with Tufts faculty, postdoctoral researchers and medical students. After core concepts were identified, the Tufts team developed an intensive series of seminars to prepare the high school teachers to develop the course. The teachers then worked together to create lesson plans and activities geared for junior and senior biology students at Boston Latin and Madison Park.
"A major issue in the high-stakes testing environment of high schools is the tension between covering a wide range of topics (breadth) and learning deeply about each topic (depth)," said Gene Roundtree, a biology teacher at Madison Park High School, who used the curriculum in his remedial class for students preparing for the standardized achievement tests Massachusetts public high school students must pass in order to graduate. "I believe our curriculum is successful because every lesson is a unique challenge—students participate in labs, debates, competitive card games and even an auction as part of the curriculum," he said. Common infections like the common cold and the flu anchored the curriculum in familiar terms.

In the single player, you play as a soldier who is part of the American first infantry division, paying particular attention to events on the Western front. However, the multiplayer maps are scattered all over the world.
The game has been built is a proprietary engine of Sledgehammer and is ported to the PC by Raven Software. The controller aim-assist has been removed, but it is quite unique that split screen on the PC is simply supported. In order to play the DirectX 11 game well, the developer recommends at least one Ivy Bridge Generation Core i3 or Ryzen 5 1400, in combination with 8GB RAM and a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 or AMD Radeon RX 550 video card. You need 90 GB of free disk space to install the game.
Reviewers have received the game quite positively. Our Dutch colleagues gave the game an 8.5 and praised the exciting campaign. Praise also rained over the slower tempo of the multiplayer which gives a more manageable gameplay and the compelling story. The eye for the detail is another plus along with the new game modes. One of the downsides is the limited player maps.
You can buy Call of Duty: WWII starting from 40 pounds / 45 euros for the PC version, and for a little more, the game is also available for Playstation 4 and Xbox One.

As I write today, a distinct chill has come into the air - a reminder that Winter is on it's way, soon it will be December, and our minds will be on all things festive - have no doubt I'll be blogging about the virtues of live plants as decorations and gifts over this period.... after all, nothing can beat a real tree at Christmas with the fresh pine fragrance and the nostalgic feelings they can conjure up - no matter how much glitter and tinsel you have, you can't beat that - or come close with a fake tree...... but less of that, for now....
As Autumn draws to a close, there are still some stars out there in the plants around the nursery and garden. These good doer's have been at it for week already, and are looking BERRY BEAUTIFUL, as I like to call it, berry beautiful indeed; festooned in coloured jewels, shimmering like rubies and diamonds in the weak sunshine. You would be forgiven if I have you a little confused at this point, for I am waxing lyrical about those plants that are covered in berries at this time of year. We of course have the usual suspects, like the Pyracanthas, "soleil d'or" is covered in golden berries whilst others like "Red Column" stand out like a belisha beacon in a mixed hedge row with their brightest of scarlet fruits. I think it must be a bumper year for pyracantha this year, perhaps you have found the same in your garden?, or after seeing them all around want to try some yourself? The good thing with these is that they are evergreens so will add some lovely winter structure to the shrub border, as well as some nice white blooms in late spring time - it is these that later give us the colour parade of berries. Not only this, but they are a veritable wild life habitat in themselves - providing food through the year for birds and insects, as well as providing a favourite nesting site for birds. The song thrush really appreciates a large one of these to bring up a family in. If you're into hedge rows, they are great, especially in urban areas as they tolerate pollution with ease, and any would-be burglar confronted with a thick Pyracantha hedge will certainly think twice - useless rather strange, with a liking for being impaled on spiky thorns that is!
Enough of that usual suspect and on to a couple of others - the female Skimmia reevesiana has masses of Red berries right now, and compliments the male Skimmia Rubella perfectly, which is in bud right now and all through the winter until spring. The black birds have taken a particular liking to these this year - so I suspect most of these red globes will be gone before the soltice. The rare Skimmia Kew White also has a mass of berries, but they are less visible than those of the red varieties, so here's hoping they last a little longer.
Hinting at the festive period again, we also have holly putting on a good show.... I don't think you can beat a traditional green variety like "J C van Tol", which always reliably produces a nice crop. The variegated Hollies are also good, but I just like these. . . . if you have woods near by, there may be mature holly trees of traditional prickly Ilex aquifolium, these can get very large, and act as a magnet in the Autumn and Winter months to all bird species as the berries ripen to the familiar red shades. Even wood pigeons will descend if there regular food sources are covered by a dusting of snow. With snow mentioned, we better move on to two more unusual berry plants - before we get all festive and nostalgic again with the white stuff mentioned!
The unusual Callicarpa or Beauty berry as it is commonly called should certainly be grown more often. This deciduous bushy shrub seems to be little known by many gardeners, but it is a valuable addition for the display of fruit at this time of year - in a striking aubergine-purple colour! For the best and heaviest crops of fruit it is best grown in groups for cross pollination between plants. Other than posting a picture and letting you make your own mind up if you like the berry display or not, I'm saying nothing more on this one, apart from the distinct berry colouration reminds me on the foil on a popular and well know brand of milk chocolate - I think you'll agree with that one.

NATIONAL VOLUNTEERS WEEK, which ends Saturday, is a time to remind every American of the value of millions of volunteers in providing billions of dollars worth of useful services that otherwise might go undone or require tax money to finance.
In 36 places around the country, including South Florida, numerous volunteers and volunteer organizations are being honored this week for outstanding service. In Broward County, five $1,000 and 10 $250 Golden Rule Awards were presented by the J.C. Penney Co. Inc., the second year this has occurred locally.
The honorees were chosen based on their impact on the community, role in initiating action, goals accomplished, problems overcome, time spent on the project and how applicable the project was to other communities.
One of the top five winners in Broward was Joanne Myers Goodkin of Fort Lauderdale, for organizing "Hands Across Broward," a 60,000-person human chain that stretched across the county's beaches to help stimulate public interest in and support for the United Way.
Voluntarism is an example of neighbor helping neighbor, of community-based efforts to solve problems that often can be more effectively and inexpensively handled by grassroots efforts instead of governmental control. Volunteers tend to the special needs of the handicapped, the poor, the emotionally troubled, the aging and the terminally ill, among others.
The need for voluntarism is growing in the United States as public resources dwindle and government priorities shift. Congress is struggling to find ways to reduce a $200 billion deficit by cutting spending instead of raising taxes and by passing on the responsibility for many social problems to states and local governments, which face their own financial struggles.
Without the valuable services of of volunteers, taxpayers would have to shoulder a heavy additional burden, and governments would have to tackle many additional responsibilities that they often might be poorly equipped to handle.
Voluntarism is big business in America: It's estimated that in 1985 alone, 89 million Americans volunteered 16.1 billion hours of service worth $110 billion. Volunteers are not only a great natural resource, but also a great hope for the future.
Anyone wishing to volunteer time and energy in a good cause should contact the Volunteer Action Center of Broward County, 1300 S. Andrews Ave., Fort Lauderdale, phone 522-6761.

Community Outreach
You don't live in a bubble… and neither do we.
We are deeply committed to our community and to a mindset we call "Give to Give." We help people, causes and charities near and dear to us not because it's what a company "should" do or because we expect anything in return. We do it because we truly believe that it makes us better people and better neighbors.
You'll find us supporting a wide range of charitable causes including Casey Cares Foundation, The Baltimore Zoo and The Helping Up Mission, among others. Each year, we provide a local family with full Thanksgiving and Christmas meals and holiday gifts. In fact, one of our most treasured holiday traditions in the office is coming together to wrap gifts for "our" adopted children each year. Our staff has also participated as volunteers at the Maryland Special Olympics.
Our founder and CEO Wayne Coffey created his own non-profit organization, No More Stolen Childhoods, dedicated to raising awareness of childhood sexual abuse. The organization is currently working with numerous school districts in Maryland and Pennsylvania to help parents, teachers and children understand and prevent this terrible crime.

Prospective Clinical Study to Determine the Predictive Value of Sniffer Dogs to Identify Lung Cancer in the Exhalation of Patients With and Without Pulmonary Disease
All breath samples (BS) are collected in patients on the basis of radiologic findings before
any intervention (bronchoscopy, biopsy or surgery) has been performed. The allocation to
study groups is made following diagnostic work up and surgery.
Three study groups are defined using the following inclusion and exclusion criteria:
- lung cancer: male & female, age 18-80, competent, confirmed lung cancer in diagnostic
work up and surgery, no history or present other tumor disease
- healthy individual: male & female, age 18-80, competent, no history or present other
tumor disease including lung cancer, no pathological lung function tests
- chronic obstructive lung disease: male & female, age 18-80, competent, no history or
present other tumor disease including lung cancer, pathological lung function tests
For each patient, i) history, ii) present medication, iii) lung function tests are
documented. For the lung cancer patients, the tumor stage following surgery is documented.
Five sniffer dogs are trained using BS of lung cancer patients and healthy individuals.
After completion of the training the ability of the dogs to differentiate between the groups
is tested:
- 5 BS are presented in 1 experiment:
- Test I: lung cancer vs healthy individual
- Test II: lung cancer vs chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Test III: lung cancer vs healthy individuals & bronchitis
- for every experiment 1 BS of a lung cancer patient is used
- the lung cancer sample is placed randomly in one of the five test tubes
- the other test tubes are used for BS of healthy individuals or chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease patients or both
- neither the dog handler nor the dog know the loading of the test tubes
- experiments are repeated 5 to 10 times
For analysis, the sensitivity and specificity of the dog's reaction is determined.
The patient's medication, smoking habits, age and gender are analysed to rule out
confounders or bias.
Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Caregiver, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
presence of an heretofore unknown substrate in the exhalation sample of a patient with confirmed lung cancer
number of individuals in the study cohort with confirmed lung cancer whose exhalation sample is correctly identified by sniffer dogs to contain an heretofore unknown substrate that is associated with lung cancer

It is perhaps inevitable in any year that we get particularly excited about a few new music releases (Deft Punk, My Bloody Valentine, Queens of the Stone Age, etc.) to the point where a few other albums worthy of equal if not greater attention slip by us. "Overlooked" is a pretty loose term, but the strict criteria for this list was to give you five albums from acts we have not discussed at all on the LA Music Blog this year. So without further ado…
Chance The Rapper – Acid Rap
Chicago native Chancellor Bennett isn't going to stay relatively unknown for very long if he keeps releasing music as good as Acid Rap. The album was released as a free download earlier this year but deserves to be included in album-of-the-year discussions for displaying the kind of wide-eyed and wide-ranging approach to rap that we have rarely seen since the glory years of Outkast. His ability to slip into a whole host of moods makes Acid Rap a kaleidoscopic and unpredictable listen, but it's also remarkably fluid and Bennett knows his way around a great tune. He is destined for huge things with the right backing. Plus he gets a wonderful dig in at the Lakers, which is fine by me.
Jon Hopkins – Immunity
In all the recent hype about the respective returns of Daft Punk and Boards of Canada, the new album from London-based electronic composer Jon Hopkins kind of slipped out unnoticed. A shame, as his hour-long opus is arguably a better album than either of those more recognized names. Composer really is the best description for the man; the eight pieces on the album are meticulously constructed to the point of showing some underlying narrative arc, with the album building towards the central song, "Collider," before fading into more contemplative territory. The word "journey" is horribly overused when describing albums, but Immunity is befitting of the term, and it is well worth getting lost in.
Young Galaxy – Ultramarine
The recent glut of new acts out of Montreal (among them Grimes and Majical Cloudz) has somewhat dulled the conversation around the release of Young Galaxy's fourth album, but Ultramarine is one of the year's best pure pop albums so far. The group's brand of electro-pop doesn't rely on simply aping the sounds of the eighties and hoping that will be enough. Instead they have the old-fashioned basics: great tunes (especially with the dreamy "New Summer"), a confidence gained from honing their sound over several albums, and a vocalist in Catherine McCandless who can really make these songs breathe. The album may be a little top-heavy, but it's still a real breezy pleasure.
Autechre – Exai
Okay, so a two-hour-long double album that does not feature anything close to resembling a recognizable tune might not be everyone's cup of tea. Nevertheless, the 11th album from one of Warp Records' most enduring and respected acts showed them harnessing all of their powers for a work that is demanding and rewarding in equal measure. The swampy, crunchy textures of Exai will either leave you completely cold and wondering "What the hell is this?" or have the kind of hypnotic quality that renders any sense of track-listing or time entirely pointless. If you have the patience for it, it's a record with a fiercely independent spirit.
Deafheaven – Sunbather
Due to scheduling recently I have not had the opportunity to write about Deafheaven's sophomore album, and that is a woeful oversight on my part. The San Francisco band has created a hybrid built up of shoegaze, post-rock, and black metal (amongst other things), and the result is an album so huge in scope and weight that it has its own gravitational pull. The all-encompassing sound is breathtaking, and the fact that the execution matches the insane ambition makes Sunbather an absolutely thrilling triumph, a pure cathartic release, and a brutal yet beautiful beast. It's also (in the opinion of this writer) the best album of the year so far. Unclassifiable it may be, but it's the definition of an instant classic.

Looking for simple, effective markers in an affordable bulk set? These brightly-colored miniature markers are extremely versatile and are built to last with a durable injection-molded polyethylene.
Small Size, Big Versatility
At 3-3/4" in diameter and 6-1/2" in height, these markers take up less room than most other cones and markers but are still visible enough to be used for a wide variety of purposes. Their small size makes them even more efficient in storage, allowing you to keep your storage closet organized thanks to the amount of space saved.
Reliable Durability
This may be a mini marker, but it offers big-time strength. A heavy-duty injection-mold polyethylene provides outstanding durability and flexibility, allowing the cone to rebound after impact to get back to its original shape. Other similar markers made with lower-quality materials tend to break upon impact.
Various Functions
While these markers are made for marking out drills and playing areas, they can be used for other purposes as well. Their size makes them great as targets in knock-down games.
Their numerous colors also allow for easier classroom organization. Students can be split into different groups by color. For example, the red group in a volleyball unit could practice serving, while green focuses on setting. With 48 markers in each set, the options are limitless.

New enhanced Microsoft Live Search
Microsoft, the world's largest software maker, said Windows Live search is now on an even technology footing with offerings from rival search engines after years of playing catch-up since it started developing its own Web search in 2003.
Its new presentation is in line with an industry trend to step beyond traditional text links, with unified search results that offer Web sites, news, pictures and video on one page. Rivals Google Inc and Ask.com made similar changes this year, and Yahoo Inc is moving in that direction.
"Microsoft is realistic. It doesn't think it's going to wake up tomorrow and overtake Google," said Allen Weiner, an analyst at research firm Gartner. "Right now, Microsoft wants to establish itself more firmly with its existing users."

Without getting into the nitty-gritties of the synthetic controversy, Ashutosh puts it plainly - In the case of Jodhaa Akbar, things are already entrenched in history. Agra Fort exists, Amer Palace exists and all the milestone events in history exist. So there is no scope for fooling around. He also refers to his thorough study of world famous and well documented references like Akbarnama and Ain-e-Akbari, by Abul Fazal. He adds that he personally went to meet the Jaipur Royalty, who are themselves from the Kachchawa Dynasty, to which Jodhaa Bai belonged, and shared the script with them, much before canning the first shot!
In fact, as per the feedback, all the protests and disruptions are in a way hyping the movie more, and even those who were not inclined to see a three hour plus historical have been venturing out to the cinemas and checking out the movie! The reason is obvious. The projected negatives before Jodhaa Akbar's release like, long duration, colloquial Urdu and Hindi etc, have all become secondary and at the forefront is now the curiosity to check out why there have been protests and disruptions. One is reminded here of two earlier examples, Salman-Katrina's Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya and Manisha Koirala's Kk Choti Si Love Story, both of which saw enhanced collections after protests and controversies.
So is history going to repeat itself? The answer is most likely to be yes. The show disruptions have been at places where Jodhaa Akbar was not going to make a mark anyway. In Rajasthan, where the movie has not seen a release, the impact will be minimal as it is just a thirty percent territory. In the two biggest territories, Bombay and Delhi-UP, the film saw a good weekend run. Taking the all India scenario into account, initial trade estimations projects around 28-30 crore first week from India. And that is approximately what the blockbuster Partner earned in its opening week! Even the Overseas circuit has good news for the makers and confirmation of that is on way from both US and UK.
One feels that the makers should in a way thank the protesters for all the free publicity that their 40 crore venture Jodhaa Akbar has got. We are quite sure that if the movie becomes successful and the makers, while laughing all the way to the bank, will in no uncertain terms feel a sense of gratitude towards their grass-root level publicists!
