The Episode starts with Shivaye, Omkara and Rudra doing maha aarti.The family stands behind and looks on. A man comes there and burns himself. The brothers turn to that side and see that. They rush to save the man. Shivaye does not let his brothers to come ahead, and goes to blow off fire, but the guards stop him too. Eight hours before, a girl Pinku practices to tell about Oberoi empire's 50th anniversary and her Dada ji Late Prithviraj Oberoi's birthday. Dadi asks her why can't she say this infront of press. The girl says I fall nervous for everything, and have to take medicines. Dadi says we all have weaknesses, so Lord made us in pairing, when I met your Dada ji at first, I was flying a kite, and he was also flying a kite, we both tangled the kites, next day he reached my house gate
The girl kisses Dadi and asks what happened then. Dadi says love teaches life, but both partners should be equal, I wish you also get a nice life partner, and your brothers too. The girl hugs her and asks will you make Dada ji's fav sweet and make video diary for him. Dadi says its 30 years now that he left us. Dadi records a diary and says our elder son Tej is richest man of the country, but you said one who has just money is the poorest man.
Tej Oberoi is shown, with numerous bodyguards. He enters the mansion. The manager says its good, you came before minister. Tej says ministers wait for king, king does not wait for ministers. Dadi tells about her younger son Shakti, who believes in Dharm and Karm.
Shakti does charity and greets pandit. Pandit blesses him. Shakti says I have much money, pray for my family's peace, I m running away since some years. Tej comes there and pandit goes. Tej asks Shakti to forget that matter now. Shakti says we can forget it, but not those who has gone through all that. They stand facing other sides. Dadi says both bahus are also too much, they went to get flowers for aarti. One of the bahu Pinky pours water on herself and says mummy ji is too much to send me to get lotus. She asks her maid to get flowers from the water. Other bahu walks there drinking wine and says bravo Pinky, such drama in getting puja flowers. Pinky asks her to check her out first, you are drinking on maha aarti day. They both have an argument.
Dadi/Kalyani says when bad happens in life, there is something good too, our grandsons, you would have told me to directly have grandchildren, than sons. She tells about Shivaye.
Shivaye reaches the temple. A girl Alka dances there with the kids and looks cheerful. O jaana…………..plays………….. Shivaye does not see her and goes.
He rings the temple bell and tells pandit that there should be nothing less in puja. He prays. The guard stops Alka saying VIP is inside. She calls Shivaye and asks him why is he showing attitude. She asks pandit how can anyone break line and go. Pandit tells her about big names and world bows down to such rich people. He asks her to go and do rehearsals with kids. She says you pray to Ganpati, can you tell me his surname, no one knows his surname, why is family name so important. Shivaye hears her. She calls him again and asks him does he not care, answer, why did he break the line. Shivaye opens eyes and goes to her. He hits her face with money bundle and says the thing I can pay a price for, I break it. he asks her to distribute sweets and leaves. She looks on stunned.
Tej calls his wife and asks him to call her son if she came to senses, everyone knows the one who does maha aarti will become the heir. His wife asks him to call Omkara himself. Pinky says they want to make Omkara the heir, Shivaye is my son, he is elder, he will become the heir, where is he.
Alka comes to Shivaye….. She breaks the car front mirror with a bat. He gets shocked. She hits his face with the money bundle, and says the thing I can pay for, I also break it. She walks away smiling. Shivaye throws the money and gets angry seeing her. O Jaana…………..plays………..
Shivaye gets Pinky's call. She asks him where is he, reach here before maha aarti. She says you are eldest son of this house. He angrily throws and breaks his mobile. Dadi tells about her second grandson Omkara, he became an artist, the statues he makes are sold in crores. Omkara is somewhere in an isolated place and makes a Ganesh idol.
Tej calls him and asks where are you, I told you clearly that you have to reach in maha aarti before your brothers, I want media to see the heir of Oberoi group. Omkara and Tej argue. Tej says you can't change truth that you are my son, stop nonsense, come soon.
Pinky tells Shakti that Tej is planning to make Omkara the heir. Tej tells his wife that he called Omkara. Pinky says I called Shivaye and asked him to come alone, before his brothers. Dadi records this and gets sad. She says your sons are making their sons run as horses run in race.
A girl wearing a short dress asks Pinky about Rudra. Pinky scolds her. Dadi tells about Rudra, who is ahead of Dada ji, he never stops when he is asked not to run after girls. Rudra is shown dancing with some girls in a club. Character dheela hai song…..plays…………..
Rudra gets his sister Pinku's call. She asks where are you, I called Shivaye, he is unreachable, get Shivaye and Om. He asks her to calm down, be strong. Tej says I hope Omkara comes first. Pinky wishes Shivaye comes first, so that world knows Oberoi's heir.
They hear some sound and see a boat coming. Pinky smiles seeing Shivaye. Omkara and Rudra are along Shivaye. Dadi smiles seeing them united. Bachna aye haseeno………….plays……….. Dadi says your grandsons have come, are you see this, I wish that they always stay like this, they get love in their life, Ishqbaazi should be equal. Rudra, Omkara and Shivaye reach together. Media takes their pics.
Omkara and Rudra show the video to Dadi, about Alka slapping money on Shivaye's face and think to meet her. Alka comes across Shivaye there in birthday function. Rudra says real fun will start now.

You need to do WHATEVER you can to move on. If that includes unfriending and removing him, so be it.
Most Helpful Girl
Yes of course you have to do this. Or maybe can you block him? So you can't see it but you're not removing completely?
I think I would rather remove... But the thing is that I would just hate for him to think that I still care too much, you know? And I feel that if I remove him it will be evident...

From corporations who own hundreds of shopping malls to owners of hundreds of thousands of acres of timber or multiple amusement parks – we are uniquely situated to provide comprehensive advice regarding a single wireless telecom lease or a hundred leases.
Our services for commercial property owners include:
Lease Valuation (typically for divorces or estates, or for tax purposes)
Lease Audits (including financial and physical audits
Review of Master Lease or Marketing Proposals (for large property owners)
There is no better team in the U.S. to help you maximize the revenue from your cell site leases. We have more experience and have dealt with more commercial property owners than anyone else. With Steel in the Air, you not only have the benefit of our team's wealth of experience and proprietary data, you have our loyalty. We know the industry inside out. We understand who the players are and what motivates them. We are fully competent in deciphering legal language and explaining to you all the possible factors that could be affected by your choice now and well into the future. It is our job to provide our clients with the best advice in consideration of all possible factors – and we take pride in what we do.
If you have specific issues or just have questions about your leases, please call or email us. We treat all inquiries as confidential and will readily sign a non-disclosure agreement, so that your interests remain protected.

- Maintain accountability to your constituents, tenants or anyone affected by the lease negotiations by using reliable metrics to define a purposeful course of action.
- Level the playing field, gain an advantage and maximize your profit.
Insider Tips
Attorneys who are not familiar with the telecom industry might add unreasonable restrictions to the lease forcing the carrier to look elsewhere, or they will fail to add the clauses necessary to protect your interests because they don't understand the real implications of the clauses in the lease. If you are seeking legal help, we recommend you contact our partner, Cell Tower Attorney.
Over the past ten years, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures inflation, has averaged 2.3% per year. This means that to sustain the value of your lease, you would need to receive annual escalation of at least 2.3%.
Consumer demand for higher speeds brought on by robust and rising Smartphone and tablet usage, and the pervasive 4G technology migration, will drive future demand for cell site leasing. The number of cell sites in the U.S. alone is expected to surpass 400,000 by 2015.

Welcome to Gameological Q&A, where we throw out a question for discussion among the staff and readers. If you have a brilliant question that would make a fun Q&A, send it to brilliantquestions at gameological dot com.
For this week's Q&A, we're taking a cue from our compatriots at The A.V. Club and looking back on the first half of 2013. The question is simple:
What is your favorite game of 2013 so far?
Steve Heisler
I've fallen madly in love with The Last Of Us. It's a zombie (ahem, "infected")-survival game about a grizzled smuggler, Joel, who lost his daughter 20 years ago when the outbreak started and now must shuttle another young girl, Ellie, out of harm's way. There are lots of sweet moments between them, and there are a whole lot of dark rooms full of zombies you have to get through, forced to move at a snail's pace. The game sets mood with the subtlest shifts in lighting and sound—and with minimal dialogue. But The Last Of Us really sticks with me because of the ending, which I will write around for the sake of not revealing too much. (Still, if you're touchy about these things, consider moving on to Anthony's answer.) There is a climactic scene near the end in which Joel does something very much fueled by emotion—this from a guy who barely ever breaks his tougher-than-you veneer. To me, The Last Of Us is a story about a delusional guy allowed to exist in a delusional world, with others actively acknowledging that humanity can be ugly and beautiful at the same time, so you might as well embrace both.
Anthony John Agnello
Like Steve, I'm pretty enamored with The Last Of Us, but I don't love it quite as much as I love Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Every Animal Crossing prior to this 3DS entry feels like a rough draft by comparison. New Leaf breaks down many of the barriers that made it difficult to inhabit your village, streamlining the way you visit friends online and even how you use your various tools. It somehow makes the most mundane activities thick with emotion. Because of work, I tend to only play late at night, when the game's music gets melancholic. I always take a second to just sit on the park bench I built in front of my house looking out at the beach. Writing about the meaning behind moments like that is my job, but I have to admit, I have trouble verbalizing precisely what makes Animal Crossing so powerful.
Cory Casciato
I've been waiting for a game like State Of Decay, for a long time—probably ever since I first saw Dawn Of The Dead and definitely at least since I read The Zombie Survival Guide. Every time I'd play a zombie game, I'd wonder, "Why doesn't this stupid game just let me live out my own zombie apocalypse survival fantasy?" and that's exactly what State Of Decay does. I also love that the first two characters you get to play with are a black man and a woman, which is not only a rarity in gaming but also true to the zombie genre's egalitarian roots. It's kind of a buggy, ugly mess with clunky controls and a punishing learning curve, but damn it, there's simply never been a finer zombie apocalypse survival simulator, and until there is, I'll be spending a disproportionate amount of my gaming time with State Of Decay.
Drew Toal
With all apologies to The Last Of Us and Don't Starve, my favorite game so far this year is Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. I have never laughed so hard at a game as much as I have with Sgt. Rex Power Colt, latest in a line of Mark IV Cyber Commandos, as he attempts to avenge his buddy Spider and stop the deranged Col. Sloan from finishing off what remains of the world with his blood dragon-tipped missiles. The one liners, the bad puns, the montages, the loving nods to terrible '80s actions movies—this is a game tailor-made for kids who, like me, grew up religiously watching iconic terrible movies like Escape From New York and Commando. The game itself is not spectacular—it uses salvaged and stripped down bits of Far Cry 3—but the formula works perfectly for the batshit insane, neon-flecked dystopian world of post-Vietnam II 2007. And again, with all apologies to The Last Of Us and its great ending, the final leg of Blood Dragon is the most satisfying endgame sequence I have ever experienced.
Sam Barsanti
I really enjoyed BioShock Infinite and was blown away by the ending, but my actual favorite is a little more, well, let's say stupid. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance shows its hand right there in the title. This isn't a game for high-minded literary discussions or smarty-pantsing, this is a game about revenge with a vengeance. It's a gleeful celebration of absurdity, and it shows that the infamously long-winded Metal Gear series might be a little bit more self-aware than it gets credit for. You play as Raiden, a cyborg ninja who lives in a world where "cyborg ninja" is a realistic job description, and your mission is to prevent a private military company from inciting a world war by using your electrified katana to slice the shit out of everything on Earth. This includes: buses, helicopters, missiles, bridges, giant robots, small robots, Ferris wheels, and an evil United States senator. Also, a major part of the game involves cutting enemies in half and ripping out their spines. It's a lot more fun than it sounds and about 100 times more ridiculous, which is really saying something.
Matt Kodner
Because Hotline Miami, which I only just played, came out in 2012, I'll go with Press [X] To Give Up, a similarly disturbing game that forces its players to experience its violence on a deeply personal level. The brief game places you in a matador's leather shoes and has you face off against a monstrous bull. The fight itself isn't so bad—bait it toward you, avoid getting gored, slip a sword in its neck, repeat—but it's the outcome of the violence that gets me every time. Every hit you take pollutes the screen with more glitches and digital hisses, and every successful stab transforms the bull into a more grotesque and desperate version of itself. To beat the bull, you have to become an equally desperate beast, killing your opponent in a primal rage. This all happens in the course of a few minutes, and it's astounding how well it works, especially for a game made in just two days for the Nordic Game Jam. It might not have the edge-of-your-seat tension of Hotline, but for what it is, it's fantastic.
Derrick Sanskrit
My first instinct is to agree with Agnello and say Animal Crossing—it is by far the game I've sunk the most hours into this year—but I know I'd be lying to myself. Only one game made me giddy every time I pressed "start." Only one game made me say "one more time" upon failing the same stage six times in a row. Only one game featured a tap-dancing rabbit and a monkey with a pair of cymbals. That game was HarmoKnight, the ineffably charming musical-platformer from Game Freak, home of Pokémon and Drill Dozer, among others. Every bit of dialogue, from the tutorial to the unnecessary plot exposition, was delightful, due in no small part to the cartoon cut-out art style that looked wonderful with the Nintendo 3DS' 3D slider dialed up. The cutesy visuals and fantasy setting belied a sometimes-infuriating difficulty, with music that would change tempo at a whim and a camera that would crop in tight or slide off at an angle to obscure upcoming obstacles. It may have been a good bit shorter than this year's other rhythm-platformer, BIT.TRIP Presents Runner 2: Future Legend Of Rhythm Alien, but it offered more variety, wider smiles, and one of the most colorful and diverse casts of all-ages characters I've seen in years.
John Teti
Sometimes you come across a work that resonates with a special vividness because of where you are in your life. Rogue Legacy was that kind of game for me. The castle-storming adventure takes an idea that has been enjoying a renaissance—semi-randomly generated worlds—and experiments with it by allowing the spoils of one playthrough to carry on to the next one. The more I play Rogue Legacy (and I've played it a lot), the more I'm struck by how the developers at Cellar Door Games must have deeply considered the implications of a multi-generational legacy. The upshot of their creative process is a fun, challenging game with a subtle but powerful humanity. It's an early frontrunner for my personal "Yup, I'm going to keep playing the shit out of this" award that The Binding Of Isaac won last year.
Ryan Smith
If I were pressed to come up with the best games of the year, Remember Me wouldn't even crack the top 10 when shoulder-to-shoulder to the BioShock Infinites and The Last of Us-es of the gaming world. Much of it is just too rough-hewn, especially the frequent sections that involve leaping from one clearly demarcated exposed pipe to the next. There are times when the game's star, Nilin, responds sluggishly to button presses like she's not quite up to the task. Even the science-fiction story, fixating on a corporation that commodifies memories, feels like a Philip K. Dick B-side. Yet I love Remember Me for its unique puzzle-like approach to fistfights and its sense of place. The game's cyberpunky Paris of 2084 is wonderfully realized. The memory remix sections, where you alter small elements of someone's recollection of an event to change their entire perspective, are worth the price of admission alone. Like The Fifth Element, another work of bold French science-fiction starring a pixie-coiffed female hero, it's better to have a piece of art that swings for the fences and sometimes misses than another bland mediocrity. It may not be the best game of the year, but Remember Me is one that I won't soon, well, forget.
Matt Gerardi
If BioShock Infinite had been no longer than its first hour, it would have easily taken this spot. I've never experienced anything like wandering around the streets of Columbia, bathed in golden light with their fascinating melange of turn-of-the-20th-century culture. There is one other game this year that was able to capture that feeling of discovery and wonder you get when walking into a weird new place for the first time—and that feeling stretched across its entirety. That's Kentucky Route Zero, the episodic southern-fried, Lynchian adventure game from the two-man outfit Cardboard Computer. Its world is so strange and lovingly defined—a surreal blast of the mundane punctuated with the fantastic in always unexpected ways. You might wander into a bait and tackle shop and end up plummeting down a trippy text adventure rabbit hole. The gorgeous environments are similarly surprising, appearing flat and cramped, but slowly opening up into massive three-dimensional structures as their scenes progress and the player's perspective shifts. Kentucky Route Zero might only be two episodes into its five-episode run (with a total runtime of around four hours), but it's responsible for most of my favorite gaming moments of the year (the mine, the bear floor, Julian). Its only flaw is that there isn't yet more of it.

What image comes to your mind when you think about identity thieves?
I would guess it isn't this couple:
Yet these young 20 something's are suspected of crimes including ID Theft and forgery. You can read about it here and here.
This story just goes to show that it isn't only faceless criminals hiding behind computer screens that we need to protect ourselves from – it's also the Joneses living next door.

Here's a small tutorial, as to how you can get a help on using command prompt commands in a notepad for quick reference. Click on "Start" menu on the taskbar and then click on "All programs" followed by "Accessories" and then "command prompt" A Command prompt window would open. In the "Command prompt" window that opens, type this:
help>commands.txtThis would create a list of all commands to help you to use the command prompt window. The file is created in whatever directory you are in, at present. By default the directory where the command prompt help is created would be C:\Documents and Settings\Username (Here username would be the name with which you login to windows) To read the Commands.txt file, you can launch Notepad and just open the file from the location where you created it (As mentioned above, if you haven't changed the location, it would be there in C:\Documents and Settings\Username. However, now that you are in the command prompt window, there is an easier way out. In the next command line, enter the command
start commands.txtThis would open the notepad "Command.txt" from its location and you can refer the help commands from there. You have all the commands with their explanation with you.

Quite beautiful and interesting teksturpak in RPG style. At the moment it changed blocks in the next update will be affected, and other textures. But it does not hurt to enjoy teksturpakom because it redrawn textures look great.
How to install A Piece of Fantasy – RPG Resource Pack for Minecraft
In order to use HD texture packs properly (32× and higher) you will need to either patch your Minecraft using MCPatcher or using OptiFine. Optifine is preferred as it includes all of the features of MCPatcher, and greatly increases game speeds and graphics settings. MCPatcher tends to be updated on the same day as Minecraft updates, so use it instead if you are in a hurry.

Delicately Masculine: Beautiful house is masculine in construction with delicate modern overtones
Standing very proud and tall, this house made with a combination of wood and stone has a very masculine and modern appearance. The wooden slatted facades and stone piled walls create a textured and dynamic exterior, while the large floor to ceiling windows look great on the outside as well as the inside. The interior is very refreshing as it isn't too modern, and isn't too traditional in style, making it a perfectly balanced design. The kitchen and dining area have fairly low ceilings, which only add to the house's charm, as it gives the whole space an intimate and cosy feel. Every room in the house has been designed with true love and passion, which can be seen from every single detail. From the choice of textiles, to the choice of cushions everything in this house reinforces the houses beauty and gives it a unique, yet stunning appearance. Designed by James Glover.

Loosely based on the Russian novel "Oblomov" written by Ivan Goncharov in 1859, this film exchanges Oblomov for Nicklaus Nepro (Erhard Koren), a former engineer who made good on an invention and now lolls around his apartment in his bathrobe, surrounded by books, television sets, and lots of food and drink. When a documentary filmmaker comes to record Nepro's lifestyle and habitat, the filmmaker has competition of sorts from a television crew that also shows up to do a live interview with Nepro -- who is excited that he will be able to watch himself on his multiple television sets. The docu-maker films the television video crew doing their job, and they, in turn, film the documentary in formation, creating a media chaos that somehow fits Nepro's own chosen lifestyle.

Ah, karaoke. From the mind of a Japanese musician who was full of great ideas (except, of course, "I should patent this"), karaoke is the post-work/party/bar activity for those of us looking to mingle, network, or meet the opposite sex, all in a shame-free, mostly tone deaf environment.
And so we find ourselves in strip malls, in karaoke bars, in Byzantine corridors leading to personal soundproof rooms, singing our lungs out and loving every minute of it.
Until, of course, we're sick of it.
And that's why every karaoke excursion needs a Mariano Rivera, a Dennis Eckersley, a Kyra Sedgwick. A "Closer." Someone who can shut the party down, whether by force or pure epic-ness.
Maybe everyone's three sheets to the wind and it's not nearly as funny as it was three sojus ago. Maybe you'd like some non-karaoke alone time with the girl who's leaving town first thing in the morning. Maybe it's the fact that you and your buddy swore to go into work on Saturday to finish that presentation, and if you don't get him out of here now, you won't hear from him until Tuesday on a collect call from a Filipino prison.
However it happens, it's up to you to be a Karaoke Closer. Here are a few time-tested songs to get you out of whatever situation arises.
Sobering Up the Revelers
It'd be easier if drinking and loud singing didn't go together so well. But you've got to remember this: if police officers see you driving happily home at about 3:00 am, it's their job to assume that you're drunk. And if they had heard your stirring rendition of Annie Lenox's "No More I Love You's" twenty minutes earlier, they'd know you were.
Therefore, it's an imperative to sober up not only yourself but the whole karaoke crowd before the inevitable volley of "I can drive's" is met with the equally inevitable inability to properly split the bill. Here's some songs that could wake the dead, much less your friend who's been politely sipping from a flask of Jim Beam for most of the night.
(And let me throw in a reminder here that while singing these songs will shake everyone from their stupor, it's always a good idea to just get a cab. The shame of having to go get your car from the parking garage in the morning will wash off. Prison shame rarely washes off, though they even mockingly provide showers for you.)
Motorhead – "Ace of Spades" – This song is like watching two trains plow towards each other, but right before the thunderous crash they rise up, pull out machine guns, and go at each other like it's the bank shootout scene in "Heat." Right before they start beating each other with chains. Inside a trash compactor. It will wake up the dead, much less the drunk.
Acceptable second choice/follow-up – Eric Clapton – "Tears in Heaven" Sobriety achieved.
Song for a Siren
So, you've been trading eye contact, shy smiles, and rounds of drinks with the lovely lady from out of town. And, of course, she's leaving tomorrow morning. Time to make your move, but why do it in plain old speaking when you can do it in song?
Prince – "Purple Rain" – This is a major league karaoke song. Pull this off and no woman can resist your charm. Don't believe me? Just ask Prince. He'll tell you. He is his own aphrodisiac. But seriously, Purple Rain is a karaoke masterpiece (see below).
Barely comparable second choice – Meatloaf – "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" – If you're here, it must be because you are saving "Purple Rain" for the wedding (or later – again, see below). Meatloaf, then, will have to suffice. It's simple – select song, grab two mics, give her your most charming smile and say "this is a duet." Who cares if she – or you – can't sing? If you both make it through "…will you hose me down with holy water/ if I get too hot?…" with an equal amount of humor and self-deprecation or overemoting, you know all you need to about her. Just get married already.
Last Call
Maybe this wasn't the best idea. You realized that everyone was excited about karaoke, but didn't know that it would go this far. There was just a group singalong to The New Radicals. No, this isn't going to work. THIS IS A THURSDAY NIGHT. You've got to get up tomorrow and you didn't drive. Time to take charge.
Try this: "Okay, okay, you've all had your fun. Now let's go. No? You're going to keep singing? Fine. Hand me that book of songs and be prepared to have your fun crushed." This will require a trio of songs that, rather than bringing everyone down, will make them regret ever doing karaoke on a week night. With you. Tonight, you are the destructor. You are Shiva. You are permanently uninvited.
Alanis Morissette – "Uninvited" – Quelle chance. No one likes this song. Not even Alanis Morissette. Eyebrows will be raised.
Zager and Evans – "In the Year 2525 (Exordium and Terminus)" – This is probably the longest three minutes and fifteen seconds you will ever have to live through. More importantly, it's definitely the longest 3:15 the people listening to you sing it will ever live through. Sample lyric – "In the year 4545, you ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes…." At this point, there may be audible groans from the audience. Ignore them. Keep your eyes on the prize.
Barenaked Ladies – "One Week" – Who brought you? You should both leave now, while they're still only lighting the torches.
Remember to tip the MC.
Walkoff Homerun
But maybe it's been an excellent night of carousing and harmonizing and now it's time to make your grand exit. Don't worry, we've got that covered as well. Call it "the Walkoff Homerun." You swing, you connect, you meet your teammates back at home base. WINNING.
Boyz 2 Men – "Motownphilly" – Grab the crew. Select song. Choose a designated rapper. Harmonize. Croon. Soak in praise. Drop mic.
Bell Biv Devoe – "Poison" – Grab the crew. Select song. Choose a designated rapper. Choose a designated "Never trust a big butt and a smile!"-er. Soak in praise. Drop the mic.
Prince – "Purple Rain" – No, seriously. It's that good. Solo this one. Kind of lose it on one of the choruses. Recover. Soak in praise. Take mic home, as you have now retired it.
So there you have it. A few foolproof ways to be the Karaoke Closer you always knew you could be. Step up to the microphone with the confidence that no matter the situation, you always know the right song to sing.
Just no more Journey, for God's sake.

This is the output from girlie's first art class. My reaction to this piece was pretty surprising. When I did something like this (in grade school and the like), mom and dad would say it was good , great, etc. Some part of me believed that it WAS great but another part of me believed they were saying this because they had to, it was part of their job description to enjoy any and all crap I put out. I imagined that when it was my turn, I would do the same. So imagine my surprise when gabriella handed this item to me (with an absolutely HUGE grin) -I think i almost physically burst with pride, true pride, with not a hint of fakeness there.

No additional comments needed, just sit back and love it.
Thunder Road
The screen door slams
Marys dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy orbison singing for the lonely
Hey thats me and I want you only
Dont turn me home again
I just cant face myself alone again
Dont run back inside
Darling you know just what Im here for
So youre scared and youre thinking
That maybe we aint that young anymore
Show a little faith, theres magic in the night
You aint a beauty, but hey youre alright
Oh and thats alright with me
You can hide `neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now Im no hero
Thats understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now?
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow
Back your hair
Well the nights busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heavens waiting on down the tracks
Oh-oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
Oh-oh thunder road, oh thunder road oh thunder road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey I know its late we can make it if we run
Oh thunder road, sit tight take hold
Thunder road
Well I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my cars out back
If youre ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The doors open but the ride it aint free
And I know youre lonely
For words that I aint spoken
But tonight well be free
All the promisesll be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch theyre gone
On the wind, so mary climb in
Its a town full of losers
And Im pulling out of here to win.

Many treatments and resources can help you stop using tobacco, including medications and counseling. But the first step in quitting is to commit to quit. Then, you need to set a plan. Having a plan increases your chances of quitting successfully. A strong plan will include:
A quit date
Plans for dealing with situations that make you to want to smoke or use tobacco
A support network
Talk with your doctor about putting together a treatment plan to help you quit. Remember, it may take several attempts to successfully quit tobacco use. Don't give up.
Using medication can at least double your chances of quitting smoking. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved several medications to treat nicotine addiction. If you have health insurance, medications to help you quit tobacco use may be covered.
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). NRT is the most widely used medication for quitting. It has mild side effects and is available over the counter and by prescription. NRT lessens the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal and cravings. Your doctor will help find the best dose for you based on your current smoking habits. NRT comes in several forms:
Skin patches
Nasal sprays
Bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban). This medication can reduce withdrawal symptoms. Common side effects include dry mouth and difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
Varenicline (Chantix). This medication reduces withdrawal symptoms and keeps you from enjoying nicotine if you start smoking again. Common side effects include nausea, vivid dreams, constipation, and drowsiness.
In addition to medication, counseling can be used to help with stopping tobacco use. Counseling increases your chances of successfully quitting. Your doctor can refer you to a professionally trained counselor or mental health therapist. A counselor can help you set up a tobacco-free environment and change behaviors and identify triggers that make you want to use tobacco. It is helpful for people who:
Have tried several times to quit but have not been successful
Experience severe feelings of anxiety or depression
Do not have enough support from family and friends to quit
Are dependent on alcohol or other substances
Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers cover different types of tobacco-quitting programs and offer different coverage levels. Talk with a nurse, social worker, or other member of your health care team to learn what may be covered through your insurance policy. If you do not have insurance, these people can help you explore other options.
Mobile apps
If you want a little extra help in stopping your tobacco use, you can try using a mobile app for your smartphone, laptop, or other mobile device. Studies have shown that using app like this can help motivate you to reach your goal. There are a lot of apps available, but only some of them offer reliable, science-based support. Some apps actively try to encourage people to smoke more! Be sure to choose apps carefully, and when in doubt, ask your health care team for guidance. A list of a few mobile apps is located in the Resources to Help You Quit section.
Electronic cigarettes and other forms of tobacco
Some people think that switching to smoking electronic cigarettes will help them quit smoking tobacco cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes are also known as e-cigarettes and vapor cigarettes. E-cigarettes vaporize a nicotine fluid, which mimics the smoke that comes from burning tobacco in traditional cigarettes. This is why some people refer to using e-cigarettes as "vaping."
E-cigarettes are a relatively new product, and the market is changing rapidly. There are thousands of e-cigarette devices and liquids available. E-cigarettes are currently not regulated by the FDA. There are also no regulations or quality controls guiding the manufacturing of the devices. The FDA does not approve their use as a way of quitting smoking. In 2015, ASCO and the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) issued a joint statement on electronic nicotine delivery systems or ENDS. ASCO and AACR agree that there is not enough scientific research to say that this is a safe and effective way to quit tobacco use and do not endorse their use as a quitting aid. More research is needed to understand if e-cigarettes can harm or improve health.
In addition to e-cigarettes, some people think about going from smoking cigarettes to smoking pipes or cigars instead. This is not an effective way to stop smoking. All forms of smoking tobacco, including pipes, cigars, and cigarillos, contain carcinogens and are not safe alternatives to cigarettes. Waterpipes, or hookahs, present the same dangers as other forms of tobacco smoking, even though the smoke is first passed through water. In fact, smoking through a waterpipe can expose you to higher amounts of toxins than smoking cigarettes.
Smokeless tobaccos, such as chewing tobacco, snuff, snus, and dissolved tobacco, are also not an effective way to stop tobacco use. Many people feel that smokeless tobacco is less dangerous than smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and cigarillos. However, even smokeless tobacco products contain nicotine and other chemicals that increase the risk of cancer, particularly oral cancer.
Have realistic expectations
Different people will have different experiences with stopping tobacco use. However, it is helpful to prepare yourself for the reality of what it is like to stop using tobacco.
When you first stop, you will likely experience the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Common symptoms of nicotine withdrawal include:
Urges to smoke
Difficulty concentrating
Increased appetite
Feeling depressed
These symptoms are usually at their strongest in the first few days after quitting. About 1 to 2 weeks after stopping, the symptoms will usually lessen. However, if you have a strong addiction to nicotine, these symptoms may last for weeks or months. Some people have mild withdrawal symptoms, whereas others have moderate or severe symptoms. The uncomfortable symptoms of withdrawal often draw people back to tobacco use. Even many years after successfully quitting tobacco use, people have gone back to a smoking habit because they've been exposed to other people smoking. Overcoming a nicotine addiction can be a life-long process. Do not be afraid to ask for help and support coping with the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Oregon State has quickly become Bowl-eligible with 6-0 start (SB Nation Seattle)
You'll pardon some Oregon State Beavers fans if the 6-0 start to the football season comes as a bit of a shock. It's the best start the school has had in 105 years. Back then, Teddy Roosevelt was the president and Oregon State University was better known as the Oregon Agricultural College.

New research at Oregon State University, Corvallis suggests that the more powerful medications are used more frequently than necessary, and the authors recommend that physicians and patients discuss the issues involved with antibiotic therapy and only use the stronger drugs if really needed.

Wall plate system
AV Portal+: Designed as a wall-mount AV connection system, a comprehensive range of receptacles, switches, connectors and ports are available. Bezels are easy to install, robust and require no tools to remove or replace. Black, brass or steel bezels are available, plus a 10-slot mounting plate that holds the various sectional plates. Configuration of the sectional plates is coordinated by Altinex. Using a series of screw-driven clamps that press and secure the mounting plate into the wall slot, installation of the system is quick and easy and requires nothing more than a Phillips screwdriver -- after which, the bezel snaps into place to provide a quality finished appearance.
Web-controlled power switch
Dataprobe Iboot: BTX is now Datapobe's A/V distributor in the U.S. and will carry the Iboot Web-controlled power switch and the Iboot Bar remote power management system. Iboot is a 10/100 Ethernet-network-attached, IP-addressed, Web-controlled power switch. Anyone with a Web browser can access Iboot to perform power on, off, or reboot (timed power shutdown). Dataprobe's rack-mounted, network-controlled power strips allow remote power management to reboot, or power on or off any ac device. The Iboot Bar system provides independent control of each outlet on the device from the Web, Telnet and simple network management protocol (SNMP). Iboot Bar enables network access plus out-of-band control via serial port and internal modem with both data and DTMF tone dial control.
Wall plates
Hosa Technology
Standard and Pro series: Available in both single and dual gang configurations, these wall plates bring order to the common challenge of cable clutter. They are available with all the standard pro audio connectors, including XLR3F, XLR3M, 1/4" TRS (balanced phone), 1/4" TS (unbalanced phone), and 4-pole Speakon. The Standard series features generic non-locking connectors while the Pro series features Neutrik locking connectors. Both series of wall plates are manufactured using US32D satin stainless steel precut to accommodate industry standard D-style connectors.
Remote control
Intrinsic Net
My Sine: The easy-to-use computer-based application allows quick and simple setup of a Sine Systems RFC 1/B remote control, avoiding the time-consuming process of entering everything with a telephone keypad. My Sine allows users to keep multiple sites in one single database. Multiple RFC configurations can be maintained in one central location. Programming can be through remote DTMF, local DTMF or serial connection. A built-in 10-key phone pad allows users to check the programming on the fly inside the program. No need to disconnect cables or restart the program to check work.
USB right-angle adapters
L-com Global Connectivity
UADAA90 Series: The DB15 allows cables to mate at a 90-degree angle to avoid nearby obstructions, features a 1" low profile, 100 percent shielding throughout for protection against EMI/RFI; gold contact plating provides reliable connections with repeated mating cycles and connector options are DB9, DB15, DB25 or HD15 male to female with two exit orientations. The new right angle adapters are perfect for applications that require cables to be connected in tight spaces. They come in either exit 1 or exit 2 styles so the cable can approach from either direction.

Narrow-beam spotlight bulb
LED High-Power PAR30: This general-purpose bulb is made up of five 3Watt, high-power LEDs and replaces filament-based PAR30 bulbs, combining advanced LED technologies, standard ac voltages, 26mm Edison screw-in base, and light-optimizing design, producing 367 lumens or 2,938cd total end foot candles. The 15-degree narrow-beam PAR30A LED bulb runs on a voltage range of 85V to 260V ac current. Other voltages like 12Vac or dc are optionally available. The Ledtronics PAR30A-style lamp is a direct screw-in replacement for up to 75W PAR30 incandescent or halogen bulbs, but has a maximum power draw of only 9.5W.
Locking system
Master Lock
Truck Bed U-Lock: Master Lock's Truck Bed U-Lock locking system safely secures virtually anything you can carry in a pick-up truck''s cargo area. The Truck Bed U-Lock is designed to deter grab-and-go theft of valuable items as well as constant shifting of objects being hauled. Anchored by a weather proof lock and cable system, the U-Lock is a semi-permanent device whose locking body swivels 190 degrees and it fits into most pick-up truck bed stack hole pockets without any drilling. It is constructed of a hardened steel shackle with a lock body, has a key cover to protect it from the elements and uses Mast Lock''s patented Python-style cylinder which allows the cylinder to be changed to make keyed alike sets for use with multiple Truck Bed U-Locks.
Embedded USB to serial adapter
Sealink/PC.SC, Sealink+2/PC.SC: Sealink/PC.SC (one-port) and Sealink+2/PC.SC (two-port) embedded USB-to-serial adapter with a PC bracket can be used for adding serial ports to any PC using the computer's internal USB connection. The serial ports are software configurable for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485, which eliminates the need for an external converter and provides a clean, professional installation. All configuration and electrical interface selections are handled through the driver software, so it is not necessary to shut down the computer or open the system enclosure to set jumpers or dipswitches. Additionally, the devices maintain their electrical interface settings in hardware, allowing the host computer to be repaired or upgraded without reconfiguring the serial ports.

A home-town jury has given Apple the world, or at least the United States, in its campaign to control the smart phone and tablet markets.
Samsung, which decisively lost the highest-profile case to date in Apple's sue-everywhere strategy against the Android operating system, will surely appeal the verdict handed down the San Jose, California, federal court on Friday afternoon. And even if Samsung ultimately has to pay the $1bn judgement, the company can afford it.
But we're likely to see a ban on many mobile devices from Samsung and other manufacturers in the wake of this case, as an emboldened Apple tries to create an unprecedented monopoly. If so, the ultimate loser will be competition in the technology marketplace, with even more power accruing to a company that already has too much.
The jury's quick decision – just two days of deliberations in an immensely complex case, with more than 100 pages of instructions from the judge – surely means the panel members had made up their minds in the courtroom and spent most of their time in the jury room filling out a 20-page form of checkboxes and granular detail. And on almost every point that mattered, they gave Apple what it wanted. The jury tossed out virtually all of Samsung's counter-claims against Apple for infringement on its own patents, and awarded no damages to Samsung.
Crucially, the jury found none of Apple's patents invalid, despite substantial evidence that others anticipated many of the innovations that Apple put together when it released its first iPhone. This is a shame, because Apple's abuse of our out-of-control patent system has given Apple its chief ammunition in its global campaign to destroy Google's Android operating system, which Samsung (and many others) adopted for its smart phones.
The California jury's decision came a day after three Korean judges handed down a mixed decision in a similar case, saying both companies had violated some patents and ordering several products – mostly older ones that barely figure in today's market – off store shelves.
Now, I'm not a fan of Samsung. Like so many others in the technology world, it has has behaved in ethically questionable ways. And it quite plainly did mimic much of the functionality of the iPhone – though it was Apple's longtime CEO, Steve Jobs, who famously quoted Picasso's adage that good artists copy and great artists steal.
But in recent years, I have become even less a fan of Apple. It is now the uber-bully of the technology industry, and is using its surging authority – and vast amounts of cash – in ways that are designed to lock down our future computing and communications in the newest frontier of smart phones and tablets.
In the end, Apple will settle for nothing less than outright capitulation by Samsung – and, by extension, other Android device makers – in what Jobs called a "thermonuclear war", which he planned, before his death, to wage on Android. If Apple is successful, either all Android manufacturers will pay Apple a license fee, or Apple will simply make it too expensive, via lawsuits, for other phone makers to compete. And if that happens, Apple's financial dominance in smart phones (Android leads in overall numbers of units sold) and overwhelming dominance in the tablet market could be insurmountable. Users of technology should worry about that scenario, for many reasons.
Even more than Microsoft during that company's most ruthless days in the 1990s, Apple wants control over how we use technology. It locks down the iOS, requiring that apps be offered or sold only though its own portal, and limits competition when a developer is doing anything that might have an impact on its own business. And as Apple expands into living rooms – a TV is widely believed to be on the horizon – and beyond, we have to ask: do we want a single company with such influence?
It's only fair to note that Apple fans are ecstatic at the prospect. They are eager to live in the embrace of their favorite company, and believe they get a safer and smoother experience by doing so. But those of us who believe we should be able to use what we buy the way we want to use it are less enthralled. We don't want Apple, or any other company, dictating – in fundamental ways – how we compute and communicate. Yet, that is precisely where we may be heading.
And what of the patent process that has given Apple such leverage?
Richard Posner, a well-respected federal judge in another Apple-versus-Android case (this one, which he threw out of court, involved Google's Motorola unit), has famously called said there are "serious problems" with the current patent system, warranting an overhaul. We're stuck with what we have for the moment, however.
And if Apple can abuse that off-the-rails system to thwart innovation and the iterative process that sees all tech companies build on the successes of the past, the most valuable company in the world will have more power than what it has richly earned through smart business practices.
The cases in Seoul, San Jose and around the world are about everyone's future. For people who believe in competition in technology, and freedom in how we use it, Friday's events were bleak, indeed.

Playmusic music player
July 10, 2012 — BarryKWe have to use zigbert's older Pmusic 1.x in our RP Puppy, due to older ffmpeg. But, it doesn't work.
Sound is a work-in-progress on our Squeezed Arm Puppy!
Thunor has a neat little music player named 'Playmusic', and 01micko has hacked it to use mplayer, and had created a PET:
This will be in the next Squeezed Arm Pup, alpha3. I have uploaded the PET to ibiblio (19KB):
You mentioned that you are looking for a mixer that works in the RP. I compiled 'mixmos' 0.2.0, it looks good. But of course on my board I can't get sound to work so I can't verify that it is a good mixer.
Commentsre mixmos
Username: 01micko
Seems a nice mixer, a bit of overkill though for the raspi.. you get a nice big gtk window with 1 slider! It seems to react similarly to obmixer, in that all the action happens in the top 30%, once down to about 70-75% volume the sound is mute. I reckon alsa is a bit buggy with the Pi. I think there is a problem with the jwm tray. As rhadon pointed out (see the forum thread), the network-tray monitor doesn't update, nor does obmixer. Then again, the freememapplet seems to be working ok, but that one is a bit slower to need updating.
re: sound levels
Username: technosaurus
"There is likely good reason that sound is measured in decibels. I mentioned this to pizzasgood a while back and that mixers should probably be on a logarithmic scale (though the vast majority of mixer apps including linux' underlying system uses a linear scale.). At least retrovol has "fixed" this sound anomaly now. Regarding the tray icons, I have made a lot of improvement to sit lately and now it uses inotify to only update when the icon changes. There is also rudimentary support for setting the desktop background using a gtkrc file. (my intent was to also add icons, but gtk's iconview is hard coded to draw a solid background, so I may need to use akash rawal's approach and roll my own). All of this is just an attempt to reduce the number of running processes (a single awk script is perfect for keeping the tray updated by parsing /sys to generate svg icons ... There are a few hundred svg templates now and they can include pngs) Re media players, if we have a player that supports rtsp (or even if curl supported rtsp) I recently wrote the basics for a YouTube browser in the pupngo thread. It seems that I have been writing a lot of stuff ahead of its time while trying to keep my behind the times computers just caught up.

hello! I just wanted to pass along my gratitude and appreciation to the kitchen and the wonderful staff. I came and dined on Thursday night and it was amazing. As a vegan my options for celebration dinners/fancy dates are limited. I have many favourite high end restaurants and have had a few degustations but have always been disappointed as its always been the vegetarian degust with all the dairy taken out and no replaced with anything. You far surpassed my wildest expectations and although my money is the same as everyone elses I have not experienced the level of dedication and service as I experienced on Thursday night.
Also a side note, I refuse to do a degustation that is the same price as the meat one, so when researching this celebration dinner I was amused and surprised that my answer came from the most unexpected place, a French restaurant!! (well what I conceived was a French restaurant :)
Jacques you are a class act all the way. I have eaten my way all over the world from the Ivy in London to Gordon Ramseys to Millenium in San Francisco and everything in between and nothing has come close the style, class and panache that you delivered on Thursday night. You have won yourself a major fan here and I have told all of my vegan/vegetarian friends (I also write a very popular vegan food blog and am very active in the community) so expect more vegan requests.
Again, with many thanks your number one fan,
ps the staff are all so gorgeous I just wanted to pinch their faces.

Just to explain the bugs in binutils - upto and including binutils 2.6 ar writes the armap in the byteorder of the format that is configured as default format for the binutils. For mipsel-linux this is always little endian, for mips-linux always big endian. This is normally correct, unless you use ar to archive files of the other byte order. This results in incompatible archives ... Another funny bug in binutils 2.6 ruins relocatable linking for all a.out targets using extended reloc. This are MIPS, AM29000 and Sparc.

Aries: she is the alpha female of the pack, always at the front of the queue and kick-starting everything from projects to dinner dates. So, I'll let her take the lead on the dance floor; she can hold the rose in her mouth and give it to me seductively.
Taurus: she has a hot and fiery temper, and will unleash it when pushed to the limits. So I need to carry enough songs in my i-pod that could calm her down. Because my stupid questions, on our date, will push her buttons. The wrong ones.
Gemini: she is extremely clever and has the ability to discuss every subject under the sun – politics, religion, travel – then just as easily switch to talking about the latest celebrity faux pas. So, I need two Ws for this. A Wingman and Wikipedia. And of course I'll be wired like a cool secret agent.
Cancer: she is ruled by the Moon and her moods wax and wane like the lunar cycle. So no dates on a full moon night. She might turn into a Werewolf.
Leo: she is the one with the loudest laugh, the brightest smile, and the most confident strut of them all. So all I need to do is dress up in a Zebra costume and she'll feast on me. That's easy.
Virgo: she is very discerning, a natural critic and a sharp analyzer of everything and everyone. Highly intuitive, she has the ability to sense what is off-key about a person or situation, and hone in onto this with intent to improve. So no flirting with this kind. They are way too smart.
Libra: she embodies fairness, justice, and balance. So discussing any popular unresolved court case where an innocent was wrongly accused will be the perfect ice breaker *start searching old newspapers*.
Scorpio: she should never be taken lightly. They aren't fluffy or cuddly creatures by any stretch of the imagination. Direct, and brilliantly sharp, Scorpio women only focus on the fundamental essence of any issue and disregard the superfluous. So, asking "your place or mine" straightaway seems to be the only option. Sigh!
Sagittarius: She is versatile and exceedingly charming and enjoys every experience that comes her way. So, I have the liberty to use 10 different pick up lines on the same night. She might just like one of them!
Capricorn: she will often leave everyone else behind in the dust with her lofty ambition and inner drive, and toss anything or anyone out of the way to make her date with destiny. So be chivalrous and open doors for her, always. Avoid causalities.
Aquarius: she is the ultimate non-conformist. So I'll ask for a 'table for four'on our date, allowing her more space that every water bearer keeps cribbing about.
Pieces: she is a mysterious, sensual mermaid, her secrets kept secure behind inscrutable dark eyes. So definitely not going in a Pirate costume and not staring directly into her eyes. Getting carried away can be fatal here.
