J.D.Salinger, He of "Catcher in the Rye" Fame Is No More
Alas, the reclusive cult figure of J.D.Salinger is no more. He died on January 27, 2010. He was 91. His singular and seminal work that impressed me was "Catcher in the Rye" which was lauded as "an unusually brilliant first novel" by the chronicler of good writing, New York Times, and spent thirty weeks in the venerable newspaper's bestseller list. In the 1970s several teachers who assigned the book to students were sacked from their jobs in his country, while on the other end teachers were teaching the book to students in other states. (In the US individual states have the freedom to ban books in their areas.)
Asked to name his craft, he is said to have remarked to the effect, "One should get up and shout the names of authors one likes." If I am asked (if my books get published, a big IF) I would shout "J.D.Salinger" first among others such as: Hemingway, Steinbeck, Barthelme, Tolstoy, Dickens, Turgenev, Kafka, Marquez, and countless others. Name dropping am I? Hm.
But the greatness of Salinger and "Catcher in the Rye" and "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" cannot be denied. Rest in peace J.D.Salinger. The Wikipedia article on him is here.

IPad - Paeans and Groans!
No sooner Apple launched the iPad than a howl of protests erupted from the most unlikely quarters. The women took umbrage at a certain association it had with a certain period of their life when they feel bloated and uneasy, Fujitsu said iPad is the apple of their eye, not Apple's, and some are singing paeans saying that its nothing but a giant iphone.
Which brings me to those who are crooning its praises: this one says "iPad could be a powerful tool for corporate workers as well as field repairmen," this one says, "iPads could be valuable for doctors moving around the hospital," and this one says, "iPad-specific apps that might include a digital guitar or harp, or perhaps a DJ app or mixing program."
Cool. I for one will only believe it when I see and experience it. I guess, for a Microsoft junkie like me, an Apple product will be like an orange in the hands of a monkey (Monkeys can handle bananas better, you see.). Okay, wokey, till this monkey can get his greasy hands on an iPad, please hold your nuts and watch this space.

Globalisation vs Corporatisation
Here's Naomi Klein of NO LOGO on the branding of Obama in an article published in the Guardian. I tend to agree with her – having worked in outsourcing many years of my mis-spent adult life – that outsourcing is creating hollow corporations emphasizing on creating of brands (like Microsoft for instance), not products, and that "globalization" which most trenchant left-leaning intellectuals are decrying is actually "corporatization" of the world. Meaning the world is building hollow organization and un-trustworthy brands not solid products and customer loyalty. She point to the creation of the brand Obama (whose Twitter follower I am), who is carrying on with the faux pas created by George Bush in outsourcing most government work to corporations. The supply chain in Iraq for the American army is managed by outsourced corporations. It's a thoughtful article, needs careful reading.
Excerpt: "The nation found that in Obama, a man who clearly has a natural feel for branding and who has surrounded himself with a team of top-flight marketers. His social networking guru, for instance, is Chris Hughes, one of the young founders of Facebook. His social secretary is Desirée Rogers, a glamorous Harvard MBA and former marketing executive. And David Axelrod, Obama's top adviser, was formerly a partner in ASK Public Strategies, a PR firm which, according to Business Week, "has quarterbacked campaigns" for everyone from Cable vision to AT&T. Together, the team has marshalled every tool in the modem marketing arsenal to create and sustain the Obama brand: the perfectly calibrated logo (sunrise over stars and stripes); expert viral marketing (Obama ringtones); product placement (Obama ads in sports video games); a 30-minute infomercial (which could have been cheesy but was universally heralded as "authentic"); and the choice of strategic brand alliances (Oprah for maximum reach, the Kennedy family for gravitas, and no end of hip-hop stars for street cred)."
Hat tips to Albert Barton for the link.

Fashions That Pamper the Consumer
You have wondered, of course, what the world would be without fashion. I wondered today (in the loo, I might add, when I was unbuttoning my branded trouser, not that I am less fashion conscious) that today we are seeing a virtual clash of fashions. In my youth, we had the bell bottoms and high-shirt-collar as the style of the times. Today the styles differ according to the whim of its designer. How about a no collar shirt with patterns held together with Chinese buttons. Hm. I saw a guy wearing it – sitting opposite me - in the train today. Then I see a guy wearing a shoe pointed and curved enough to poke the guy or gal in the behind. Then another with a shoe, protruding in a sort of rectangular shape, a good five inches in front of him. I wonder how he climbs stairs with those shoes. Does he do a Chaplinesque amble?
Then there are short shirts, there are long shirts, tee-shirts, patterned shirts, pants with lots of straps hanging from them, jeans that are crushed and crumpled to give that ruffled grungy look, jeans that come in atrocious patterns, odd-shaped pockets that are – you won't believe this – behind the thighs (so that when you sit you are sitting on your wallet or your cell phone), etc. It is amusing to watch all these designer stuff, the manifestations of the need to sell, the maxim that "greed (pampering to the vanity of the consumer) is good."

Waiting at Lisbon Airport, Put on Your Dancing Shoes!
Got this from Harriet Baskas' travel blog, and, oh, hat tips to the always be-hatted Albert Barton:
"Imagine being at the Lisbon Airport during the Christmas rush when a voice on the public address system announces Flight 0000: a special flight on which "No sad children or adults are permitted" and where "Only happiness is allowed on board."
"And then, all of sudden, TAP Air Portugal and Aeroports de Portugal employees rush from their posts to perform a spirited flashmob-style dance routine to a medley of songs ranging from the Bee Gees' Stayin' Alive to Mariah Carey's All I want for Christmas is You."
See for yourselves!

The Sad, Sad Case of Ruchika Girotra
It's a pity. Really is. A pity that it should, or, could, happen in modern India, an independent India whose republicanism we are celebrating only three days from now. A man who is supposed to protect the honour of pubescent, pre-adult children, allegedly molested her and then terrorized her family into submission using his position as a director general of police and forced her, virtually, into committing suicide. Here he is unrepentantly and defiantly, defending his action. The gall of it all. Were it not for the gutsy parents of the girl's friend – who fought the case to it's final resolution recently – the case would never have come to light. May God bless you! This happened in twentieth century India, no, not in the dark ages. Can you believe it? This is only one tiny tip of the iceberg of the crimes that are going on unreported, behind the veils and curtains of modern India.
Sadly, here police consider it no duty of theirs to protect honour, property, or law. They only consider violating it, or submitting themselves to the manipulators of all these vital fundamental rights of an Indian citizen. Our hearts bleed for Ruchika and her family, the torturous ordeal they went through, the persecution they have suffered. (When the oppressor knew he couldn't persecute the girl, he took his perverse revenge on her family members. Her brother was allegedly targeted by the powerful opponent a director-general of those days, stripped naked in his locality, abused in the police custody, all to hide the very-important-policeman's guilt. Read about it here.)
It's common knowledge that policemen rape the ones they are supposed to protect, kill the ones who don't pay them regular protection money, are in league with criminals who run illegal rackets, protect the mighty who run big businesses. Is the home ministry napping? Why don't they act on the accumulated mountain of evidence? Aren't people who are appointed as director-generals of police in this country screened for previous offenses or such tendencies before they are appointed?

My Grandfather Karikkottu Joseph
Unlike me (hehe) he was a tall, fair and handsome man, also rich, I might add, as you can see from the picture (hope the picture gets uploaded okay) and had a large landholding of 100 acres (big by Kerala standards) in those days. He is wearing a shirt common in those days, held with removable buttons and an angavastram, or, a shoulder wrap. Remember that was in circa 1800 or thereabouts. Fashions change, attitudes change, his grandchildren are spread across the world in countries as diverse as: Dubai, Saudi Arabia, U.S., ireland, U.K., etc. Here's a blog I have made for his grandchildren by me. Recently we grandchildren got together to celebrate our kinship in Kerala (I couldn't go as I was tied down with work.). My regret. Today, when I think of him I think of an era that has faded from memory, a time that has been stilled, a voice that is only an echo in the mind. Rest in peace Valiappachen.

Kerala – a Mystery, a Contradiction, What?
I had written an insider's view about Kerala here. Now there's a debate going on in South Asian Literary group about the achievements of Kerala in literacy, life expectancy, savings rate, etc.
- Kerala's birth rate is 14 per 1,000 females
- Kerala's infant mortality rate is 15.3
- Kerala's adult literacy rate is 91 per cent
- Life expectancy at birth in Kerala is 75 years
All very fine. I am not against Kerala. In fact, I love Kerala, its people, its culture, its everything. For me a day spent in Kerala lazing on the roof of my house is something like heaven. Everything seems okay from the surface. There is a good primary healthcare system, there is a good education system (though teachers in government schools have to chase students to come and study in their schools [you ask why? Or they will lose their jobs, stupid]), there are good roads in even the remotest villages. But there is a murky and muddy undercurrent, swift and treacherous. To be realistic let's look at the other side too:
- Kerala has the highest suicide rate
- Kerala has the lowest concentration of industries and businesses
- Kerala's maternal mortality rate is poor: 262 for every one lakh live births
- Kerala's famed agricultural output is dismal considering it has to import grains and vegetables from Tamil Nadu
- Kerala has a high unemployment rate
See, every good point has a paradoxical bad side. So what's Kerala? A mystery, a contradiction, an enigmatic land of a very rich language and a very ingenious people? A subject that's the focus of my study "To God's Own Country – A Serendipitous Journey to Kerala." Don't know when I can polish it and offer it for publication. Any takers?

Reading Literature and Sanity
"People should read literature to prevent them from losing their sanity." Who said that? I did. I typed it in a crowded train compartment, as I was squeezed between Mankhurd, Chembur and Kurla in what was a milling machine consisting of bones and flesh, so much close that when the man beside me talks on his cell phone my body vibrates, and when he laughs a hoarse laugh, my bodily organs virtually quake, surely 7 on the Richter scale. Hm. I also said in a comment that we are an insane people, we see those earphone-ed dudes and dudettes walking around the city talking to themselves, and wonder about their sanity. I do. Read some literature, dude, at least, you won't go insane by the time you reach adulthood.
I am really, really, sad that the reading habit is dying. It's the most noble of our sensory abilities. Here's what the Wiki has to say:
"Reading is a complex cognitive process of decoding symbols for the intention of deriving meaning (reading comprehension) and/or constructing meaning. Written information is received by the retina, processed by the primary visual cortex, and interpreted in Wernicke's area."
I love reading. It's more involving, more intellectually elevating, has far more depth than television, which is narrow in scope, cumbersome, and labours vainly to make a point. I will call reading as poetry and television as Bollywood item number crap. Not that I have anything against Bollywood crap. Yesterday I saw Fardeen, or was it Saif standing legs splayed and thrusting to the following lyrics:
Kambaqt isq hai jo, Sara jahan hai woh
Kab aata hai, kab jaata hai, (and the rest is crap)
Meena Alexander's Website Is Here….
Stumbled across Meena Alexander's website and her oeuvre of works and am amazed to read about her achievements. I am reading her novel Manhattan Music and find most interesting for her description of Thiruvalla and thereabouts, where my own mother hailed from. She has this languid style that follows a thought process and virtually enters the reader's consciousness so engagingly. I met her once in Bombai but don't know if she remembers me.

Marxism on Overdrive; Marxism on Hormones in God's Own Country!
Yesterday a friend dropped in. We were talking about the labour situation in Kerala. Most farmers have stopped tilling and planting their lands because labour is Rs 300 a day. They will come at 10 a.m. leave for lunch at 1 p.m., again come back at 2 p.m. and leave at 4.30 p.m. They work strictly according to the schedule agreed and prepared by the Marxist government. That's dialectic materialism. I think this materialism is grossly unfair to the poor landowners, who are the new poor of the state. On top of this, the farm labourers are given subsidized rice at Rs 2 a kilo and a lot of other free goodies like chicken, goats, cows, etc. etc. I think this is Marxism in overdrive, Marxism on hormones.
Actually all these are aimed to improve their live, lift them up from the nadir of poverty, educate them, make them better citizens. Actually that's not happening, which is my grouse with all types of Marxist ideologists like Kuriachen Kuriakose. Verily, this thing of the state spoon-feeding the poor with quotas and goodies doesn't work because it makes them lazy. If supply is abundant we don't have incentives to produce, do we? If labour is expensive, we don't hire them, do we?
So what do the recipients of the subsidized rice, chicken, goats do? They sell them in the market and drink it up, not start an animal farm. It's like giving sweets to your son and making him promise to study. He will eat the sweets and won't study. So a cousin of the friend (who dropped in) has a solution. He is a building contractor, a shrewd one. After the day's work is done he drops his workers to the "Kallu Shap" meaning "Arrack Shop" in his Jeep with their day's pay. The rationale is that, at least, they will drink like dehydrated fishes, pay the shop-owner and be back for work the next day. If they keep their money they would never report for work. Sure as hell, after a night's binge-ing in the shop, they return to work bleary-eyed and broke the next day.
That's God's country's own Marxism on overdrive. Kuriachen Kuriakose begs to differ. According to him. "An abundance of supply will drive production." That's zilch, I say.
The Power of a Smile, "Positive Thinking," Anyone?
The man is face-to-face with me. Remember, it is a Monday morning. I am at my worst surly behavior, having woken up late and having missed two trains. I am being pushed by stoutly built men who are seemingly advertising the power of their coconut-oil and fish-curry filled diets on my slender back, the men on the other side are leveraging the pressure from my side by jamming their paratha-and-ghee-filled bodies against me. I have no place to put my left foot, so I stand on the right foot, and this man objects to my elbow touching his head. I had a good mind to shove my elbow in his face. Hold on. A voice talks in my head. I shouldn't do it, instead I smile and say, "It happens, the crowd will ease in Kurla."
Then a conversation starts. His face is inches away, and we are standing, maybe, like lovers would, when they are kissing. I don't know, I am too old for those things. He says, "the traffic planning is all wrong, we need more trains from Panvel to Kurla, seeing as to how Kurla is the focal point of most of the Harbour Line passengers."
"Yeah, it's a pity they are building a metro from Ghatkopar, while it should have begun, or ended, as the case may be, from Kurla," I say.
"Probably when the committee got together to finalise the route, a politician from the area pitched in for his locality, that's how decisions happen, nobody cares for doing a survey or a study," he says. Quite intelligent and humourous is this man.
He introduces himself, he is a qualified chartered accountant, and is also a certified public accountant from the US. We talk shop as we work in the same industry, he in venture capital specializing in realty projects, and I in realty per se. Most terms he refers to are familiar to me, and most of what I say is familiar to him. Two strangers, two disparate people, meeting for the first time, can strike such a chord, is a wonder, a miracle to me. We also discuss a professional collaboration, which if it materializes will be good for both of us. I hope it does.
I must never under-estimate the power of positive thinking. I know, I know, we all think "positive thinking" and all that stuff is for losers who splurge on self-development books and talk bookishly. But this man, this stranger, this man who aggravated me in a vulnerable moment, and the fact that I could change a dire situation around, could strike a chord, bond with him in a crowded, bone-crushing, train compartment is something quite serendipitous. Needless to add, it made my day.

Saturday Mish-Mash from a Bheja-fried Mind
I have seen municipal authorities digging up a road at one end that is being repaired at the other end. They will never learn. The very same is happening on Somani Marg.
The Azad Maidan is cordoned off for the Bombai marathon. I don't see the rationale of banning entry into public space thusly. If they want to hold marathons, let it be unhindered by bamboo barricades and tin sheets that lend it a look of a public loo.
Kuriachen Kuriakose thinks this targeting of Shashi Tharoor is a conspiracy hatched by the imperialistic forces and anti-proletariat stooges who don't know the difference between twitter and stutter (EMS Namboodiripad was a stutterer, he was asked by a reporter, "Sir, do you always stutter?". He famously replied, "Not always. Only when I speak."). He thinks twitter and facebook are evil because it spoil and misguides youth, and is the new conspiracy of the CIA and M15 to destabilize the world.
Then there is this issue, or, rather non-issue, of should India play cricket considering it lost in the finals to Sri Lanka. We win a lot of matches and then lose so disgracefully to Sri Lanka, ugh, give me a break, I can't believe this. Sri Lanka is the size of Tamil Nadu and Kerala combined and we can't win against them? What are those guys in white hitting the ball with "thwuck, thwuck" sounds at Azad Maidan doing? Really, such a shame and a disgrace. Cricketers hang your permed-haired heads and droop your swaggering shoulders.
The guy you see alongside is Ramu Pandit (name changed). He is in his twenties, works 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and lives with 15 other guards like him in a small room. Kuriachen Kuriakose calls this exploitation and wants to know if this is the miracle of the new and emerging economy of India, crazily seeking superpower status.

Like Cycling? Like Chic? Like Copenhagen? This Site Is for You.
Like cycling? I do. But no longer have the time to indulge. Like Copenhagen? Where the environmentalists from the around the world, green warriors, braved the cold winds and sleet, and heckled world leaders like Barack Obama? Like things on the chic side? Like this one ("They didn't even say hello to each other. Not a glance, not a nod, nothing. Shocking.")? Copenhagen cycle chic is the site for you.

Opening Things – Part 2
Apropos of the above post on Opening Things Athiran Santhosh Soman has sent me this video by Larry David, though a bit long, promises hilarious viewing. Watch the way he stomps at the package he tries, tries, tries, and is unable to open. Why does the packaging industry go paranoid over their precious products? Nah!
In this context, something I forgot to introduce in the earlier post. You know how difficult it is to open taps? Sometimes it has sensor which detect your hand kept under it and delivers a burning burst of steamy water. There was this tap at the Blue Frog poetry slam Sunday before last, which I supposed was operated thusly. I kept my hand under the narrow spout and waited, and waited, and waited. Nothing happened. Exasperated, I looked around. Nothing. No sign of a tap, contraption, screwy thing anywhere around. By now I am wallowing in self-pity and contrition. Contrition, that I didn't visit night spots like Blue Frog more often. Then this amply endowed poet comes in and coolly flicks a lever placed, you won't believe this for nuts, at the far side of the tap, and the liquid flows.
I have struggled with taps all my life, sometimes it is clock-wise, sometimes anti-clockwise, sometimes it is a lever to be raised up, sometimes to be lowered down, sometimes it has to be pushed, sometimes it has to be pulled. Oh God, why can't they make opening taps and packages simpler?

To All Those Who Have Lost Their Mothers and Are Reading This….
For those who have lost their mothers, recently, or in the recent past, this eulogy by Ru Freeman for her own mother, on her website, which would strike a loving chord. I for one didn't realize what a big loss it would be to lose one's mother. More than anyone else in our lives, we take our mothers for granted. My mother was obsessed with death, a real necrophile; she talked to us in glowing and somewhat exaggerated terms of the many deaths she witnessed: the father she had nursed in his last days, her sisters whom she cared for in through her ultimate days, the neighbor whose death she witnessed (she breathed her last with "a big burst of breath, then nothing"), the caring she had done for her father-in-law, my grandfather, the many, many services she had done for the dying. But when it came to her own death, I am sad to say she didn't recognize me, she looked at me with unseeing eyes, didn't speak words of blessings (which she said she had received from the many dying people she served), didn't take the Lords name or sing a hymn and died with a few huge intakes of breath, with me and my sister beside her, nobody else. Immediately thereafter, as if on cue, the ants started attacking her, and I shifted her to a mortuary for her other children and relations to see her remains, her lifeless body.
Clinically, it was the passing of a phase in my life when I felt there was someone, somewhere, who will always be there, a presence which I will miss, an attachment like no other, a feeling of connectedness like no other. My loss. Our loss that is, to all who have lost their mothers and are reading this.

Information Overload in a Schizoid World
But have I sifted the chaff out of this harvest of information? How much of this information do I trust? How much of the information I read is fake and make believe? There used to be a time when I could trust the editorial sanctity of newspapers. Today I can't open a newspaper and believe the sanctity of what I am reading, much more, otherwise, lose my sanity over what I am reading. So, I skim the surface, looking for false notes, searching for standard phrases written by public relations people to plug their product or personality as the case may be. I can't trust the objectivity of even writers anymore. Rogues exists in all professions, I know, I know.
The world we live in is a schizophrenic, there are a lot of harassed and harried people out of make a fool out of you, and we are arrant fools to believe them. Even once. Albeit, we do believe them and buy health policies that are only partially enforceable, products that breakdown after the first month of use, gadgets that sit in a corner rotting away. Says Anthonybhai, "This world's a merry place. So, enjoy!"

Kiss and Make Up – the 3 Idiots Controversy
Here's more grist for the mill in the 3 idiots controversy. The latest celebrity to join the bandwagon to further fuel the fire is Vir Sanghvi who writes thusly on his blog. Guess everyone had his/her say now, including me. Excerpt:
"What does it cost the makers of 3 Idiots to give Chetan Bhagat his credit in the space where a writer's credit is traditionally placed in the international movie business? It would make no difference to the movie's massive box-office performance. We would not think any less of Rajkumar Hirani, a fine director with a great track record. And Aamir's reputation as the most consistently successful star of our times would remain intact."
But Chetan wants to move on and in this article he says he wants to move on and requests the director and producer of the film also to do likewise.

Three Idiots – a Contract Only an Idiot Would Sign
Here's the contract between Chetan Bhagat and Raju Hirani for Three Idiots which is at the centre of the controversy over the film which has Chetan claiming that he has been deprived of the proceeds of the success of the film. But reading the contract, one would feel (in fact anyone would feel) that only an idiot (a general observation, no offense, not aimed at anyone) would sign a contract that would handover all rights of his creative work to a production house without reading the fine print, which afterall is what a writer should do before signing any contract. But writers are human, in fact, more human than others, one agrees.
Writers and authors are the sole owners of their work under the Intellectual Property Act. I guess Chetan trusted the other party enough. This is a lesson for all writers to be more careful before signing and giving away their babies to any second or third person.

The Resurgent Religiosity of the Indian
William Dalrymple is good at spotting trends. He writes here that there is a resurgence of religious sentiments in India. I agree. Every morning I see the RSS conduct its drill in the neighbourhood, the Jehovah Witness is becoming more aggressive, the Muslim women all wear burqas, or, hijabs. On new year eve a family in the Belapur had a Pooja which involved sounding the conch shell and beating on utensils for the post part of the day. Afternoon siesta of this blogger was spoilt. A friend went to a temple on new year eve, and new year eve isn't even a Hindu festival. Navratri is more lavish, Diwali even more so, and so is the keeping of fasts during Shravan, Navratri and Margashish. The Hindu calendar is full of such rituals and they are keenly observed. Friends of my childhood have set the Gayatri Mantra as their ring tones, and a committed communist has a Shiva Linga in his bungalow. Says Dalrymple:
"As India is liberalising and globalising its economy, the country is experiencing a rising tide of popular Hinduism which is leaving no social segment and no public institution untouched. There is a surge in popular religiosity among the burgeoning and largely Hindu middle classes, as is evident from a boom in pilgrimage and the invention of new, more ostentatious rituals. This religiosity is being cultivated by the emerging state-temple-corporate complex that is replacing the more secular public institutions of the Nehruvian era . . . a new Hindu religiosity is getting more deeply embedded in everyday life, in both the private and public spheres."
I was just wondering, what if we harness the energies and efforts expended in stereotyping a particular class or religion and channelize it into something creative, or constructive. For example, building really nice smelling toilets so people can crap in peace, or, create a green and peaceful environment? There I go again, into my fantasy world. Dhansukhbhai Jethalal Shah thinks the resurgence of religiosity is a good thing. At least people won't do harmful things like destabilize the economy and fuel speculation. But he only knows the meaning of what he says.

Meeting at the Mithai Shop; Happiness 2010!
Happy new year, and all that. 2009 - the year that Michael Jackson died, Barack Obama became president, Tiger Woods was disgraced, 86-year-old ND Tiwari was allegedly caught in a sex romp. A lot of expectations for the new year, a lot of expectations of the year that ended. Wanted the year to end on a good note and it did. Wanted to make significant progress on the novel before the year ended, so got up early, worked, worked, worked, had lunch, worked, worked. Then the cupboard that was sitting like a shapeless elephant in the drawing room had to be shifted to the bedroom on the first floor and the sturdy labourers came and put paid to my literary endeavours. But I did make good progress on chapter 11.
Then went to the nearest mithai shop to buy some desserts for dinner, as I was celebrating new year at home, even wanted to go to bed early, as I am working today. Hm. Saw a familiar face in the mithai shop, I won't say names, for I don't have her permission. I wasn't sure. But the hairstyle, glasses, a certain air matched with pictures I had seen on FB. I was sure it was her. We were in online contact close to more than five years and had never met. We are members of an online literary group. Then I hit on an idea. I SMS-ed her. "Are you in Belapur." No reply for almost fifteen minutes. Ergo, damn, wrong surmise, I was glad I didn't barge in and ask her.
Then comes the reply "Yes!" So I go back and meet her, first time after almost five years of online messages. She was on the way to Lonavala for a new year party. Thanks friend! That's how the old year ended. As decided earlier (resolution!) did some more writing and went to bed at 11 p.m. Son, Ronnie, partied the night away at a friend's place in Panvel. The neighbor decided to keep us all awake with a raucous party on their terrace. That's how the old year ended.

voici la suite de la thèse de William Reymond qui veut bien nous en dire un peu plus :
jamesdavisadams : Mais William, vous dites que Max et Ladislas, ainsi qu'Etienne sont les fameux tramps... Qu'est-ce qu'il vous fait dire ça ?
W.R : Un jeu de photographie de Ladislas datant des années 60 dont une de 1962.
jamesdavisadams : William avez-vous d'autres infos sur Jean-René Souêtre, à part ce qu'ils se trouvent dans votre bouquin ? Et ainsi que sur Michel Mertz ?
W.R : Des détails sur leurs parcours respectifs et croisés. Sur Mertz, j'y reviens dans Mafia S.A
jamesdavisadams : William, comment avez-vous retrouvez le camarade d'arme de Ladislas, d'où les sources, s'il vous plaît ?
W.R : En trainant avec des gens au passé peu respectable.
jamesdavisadams : William, j'aimerais savoir, si vous poursuivez encore la piste française ou si vous l'aviez honnêtement laisser tomber ?
W.R : Je ne travaille plus sur l'affaire JFK donc plus sur la piste française. Mais, je re-croise parfois cette trace en travaillant sur d'autres sujets.
jamesdavisadams : William, je voudrais savoir qui est WI/ROUGUE et QJ/WIN ? Vous dites qu'ils sont identifiées et qu'ils sont pas français... De quel origine sont-ils ?
W.R : Je n'ai pas l'info sous les yeux mais cela doit se promener sur le net. Les rapports CIA ont été rendu public il y a quatre-cinq ans. Je crois que l'un d'eux était un luxembourgeois.
jamesdavisadams : Je vous redemande :- "Qu'est-ce qu'il vous fait dire que les fameux tramps puissaient être Max, Ladislas, et Etienne.
W.R : Une série de clichés datant de 1962 où figure "Ladislas" souligne une troublante ressemblance entre le personnage et un des tramps de Dallas. Cette troublante et - quasi parfaite - ressemblance donne ensuite de la légimité à mes sources lorsqu'elles m'affirment ensuite que les deux autres sont "Max" et "Etienne".
jamesdavisadams : Mais j'aimerais en savoir un peu plus s'il vous le pouvait - ( concernant : - " Comment avez-vous retrouvez le camarade d'arme de Ladislas, par qui ?) -.
W.R : En trainant dans certains milieux de l'extrême droite européenne où se recycle anciens du SAC, de l'OAS, de la Légion et de l'agence Interpen.
jamesdavisadams : C'est à dire, quels d'autres sujets ?
W.R : La French Connection, le financement des début de la V° République, la France en Afrique...

The content of this article has been cut.
The subject matter of this article was cut from the final version of an official / canonical source.
This article is about the cut Part-human, part-Synth unit. For the cut Civil Protection unit, see Combine guard (Civil Protection).
The Combine Guard,[3] is a part-human, part-Synth enemy[2] cut from Half-Life 2, and the direct successor of the Combine Synth Elite Soldier, which the Overwatch Elite also stems from.
The Combine Guard was to wield a large weapon, the Combine Guard Gun, that was to fire a powerful disintegration beam, recycled for the Strider, that the player would have been able to use after defeating it. It was also to use it to kick its opponent at close range, much like the retail Overwatch Soldiers. Another smaller weapon is featured on its left wrist.[1]
The camera attachment being the real head of the soldier (according to its texture file, named "head.vtf"), it is likely that the man inside the robotic suit was to be blind, his eyes seeming to have been somehow removed. It would have made it a disturbing sight for humans, who would tend to look at its human face and be unaware of the direction its real "head" is actually looking at. A breather is also in the human mouth, implying it is breathing the ambient air, filtered, and still uses some form of lungs.[1] As seen in the WC mappack map "
e3_terminal.vmf", it was also to be able to burst doors. At the "end" of the map, the player was to find themself behind a door. The Combine Guard would appear behind it, destroy the small window with the small weapon attached on its left wrist, look through it with its camera, then knock the door down with its fists, to finally kill the player with its gun, ending the game.[1]
It seems that the Combine Guard was to be impervious to bullets, requiring the player to use physics objects or heavier weapons to stun it and knock it down. After it was knocked down more props or explosives could be used to break off and damage its armor bit by bit. Once its armour is sufficiently damaged, it would be disabled completely but not killed. Damaging it again would kill it but doing so will crash the game.
It is only used in 2 maps, "
e3_terminal.vmf" and "
cguard1.vmf". Neither are storyline maps.[4]
- In Half-Life 2 a console command under the listing "sk_combine_guard_spawn_health 1" can be found, possibly remnants of a command related to the Combine Guard.
- Concept art from Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar show a more conventional soldier named "Combine Guard" with a long trench coat inspired in part by the German SS uniforms of World War II.[2] This unit was to be part of the Civil Protection and has nothing to do with this Synth Combine Guard.
- The appearance of Dog's right foot may have been based on those of the Combine Guard's.
These are concept art for several different versions of the Combine Synth Elite Soldier featured in Raising the Bar. Most of them feature a big left arm where a weapon is included (as seen in the Combine Guard NPC) and a thinner right one.
List of appearances
- Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar (First appearance) (Non-canonical appearance) (As "Combine Synth Elite Soldier")

Clean up time......
The above photo is before trimming and this is after trimming. This isn't a project, just playtime at this point.
I noticed my tiger lilies are starting to bloom. They look so pretty against the periwinkle of the balloon flowers.
This is my view from the dining room window to my jungle flower bed. I have one more area with some tall weeds to take care of. I made a lot of headway on it earlier this week. If you click and enlarge the photo you can see all of the coneflowers blooming.

Paris attacks: Terror fears over Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal matches
FOOTIE fans are set to face extra security measures at London Premier League games this weekend as the Met decides whether to deploy armed officers.
One of the co-ordinated attacks in Paris last Friday was outside the Stade de France, where France were playing Germany, and the attackers reportedly tried to gain entry to the stadium.
Last night, armed police wearing military fatigues attended the England friendly with France at Wembley, which did go ahead.
But the Germany-Holland clash in Hannover and Belgium's match with Spain in Brussels were called off because of security concerns.
London is a top target for ISIS after its attacks in Paris killed at least 129 people, and police at matches in the capital will be on red alert this weekend.
"In addition to the continued use of CCTV and search dog teams, we shall now be increasing the number and frequency of person and bag searches"A Tottenham Hotspur spokesman
Daily Star Online understands that London's Premier League clubs are today deciding how the weekend's fixtures will be approached with regard to security.
The Premier League is set to give all 20 clubs a security briefing ahead of the weekend's fixtures, and further details of beefed-up security measures are expected tomorrow.
Meanwhile, UEFA has confirmed that Champions League fixtures on Tuesday and Wednesday next week will be played.
Arsenal have indicated security measures will be ramped up for that game, while Spurs are increasing bag checks and pat-downs, as well as encouraging fans to arrive earlier.
A Met spokesman has told Daily Star Online that every game this weekend will have a "proportionate and appropriate" policing presence, but did not confirm whether or not officers will carry guns.
On Saturday, Chelsea play Norwich City at Stamford Bridge and Watford face Manchester United at Vicarage Road.
The following day, Spurs meet West Ham at White Hart Lane, while Crystal Palace take on Sunderland on Monday, and Arsenal host Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Tuesday.
In Europe next week, Manchester United face PSV Eindhoven at Old Trafford, rivals City travel to Juventus while Chelsea are playing Maccabi Tel-Aviv in Israel.
Europe League fixtures see French club Bordeaux travel to Liverpool, while Celtic and Tottenham are also in action.
A UEFA spokesman said: "All matches are scheduled to go ahead as planned.
"UEFA has very strict rules regarding safety and security in relation to the organisation of matches and is working closely with the home clubs and local authorities to ensure all necessary measures are implemented to guarantee safety for all involved.
"UEFA has not issued directives about travelling fans, it is up to the relevant authorities to decide on such matters."
An Arsenal spokesman incidated security measures are likely to be increased for upcoming games.
A spokesman for Tottenham Hotspur said: "In light of recent events in Paris, the Club met this morning with the Security Advisory Group and representatives from all Emergency Services to audit our current security operation.
"In addition to the continued use of CCTV and search dog teams, we shall now be increasing the number and frequency of person and bag searches."

AN ANCHOR Street estate agent got the most unusual brief of his career when he was approached by the makers of a TV property show.
Chris Tinsley, founder of the independent agency of the same name, is due to appear on our screens in an edition of the BBC daytime hit To Buy Or Not to Buy.
The programme takes a couple looking to buy a house and shows them three different properties in their desired area which meet their particular requirements.
Chris told the Visiter: "We received an email from the makers of the To Buy or Not to Buy programme, who told us they were filming in Southport and if we could highlight any properties which would be of interest to the buyers featured on the show.
"It was a couple looking for a house near town, and the woman wanted an older house with character and something she described as having 'a ghostly presence', while the man is a magician and needed lots of storage space."
And the Chris Tinsley team thought they had the ideal property.
Chris, who has been involved with the Southport property scene for 20 years, continued: "We suggested 16 Cross Street to them.
"After that, they came over to the office, I filmed a little piece to camera, then there were shots of me handing out leaflets, and others of the exterior of the office.
"We were thrilled, it is not every day you get the BBC coming in.
"I think I will record the show first, then watch it, before showing it to anybody. I might end up on the editing room floor!"
The property featured on To Buy or Not to Buy, currently valued at £275,000, is owned by Simon and Angela Puckey.
Simon said: "We got involved as we need to sell the house, and at the end of the day this programme helps us to do that.
"When the BBC said they needed the house for filming, we weren't allowed to be around.
"I didn't realise the couple looking around had those particular requirements, but each to their own!
"The couple didn't go for our house in the end, but it is still good exposure for our property."

It's all well and good to begin your Sabbath in the Hamptons as earlyon Friday afternoon as possible. It's all well and goodto regard Sabbath observance as the epitome of Jewish observance. But ifa Jew observes the Sabbath and nobody sees the results, has the Jewobserved the Sabbath?
The same question can be asked regarding the performance of any mitzvah(a commanded holy act). Our return journey to relevance begins withchanging the traditional way in which we understand and think aboutthe goals of Jewish ritual life. We must re-understand what it really means to have fulfilled a mitzvah.
The criterion for "fulfillment" that we need employ is drawn from the workof a late 13th century scholar, the anonymous author of the Sefer HaChinuch (The Book of Instruction). He wrote that the reason we perform mitzvotis that "the heart is drawn after the deeds." The performance is intended to constantly shape and reshape our entire system of personal conduct. By this measure, I would argue that a Jew has not truly observed the Sabbath unless the world sees the results on Tuesday.
How can observance of Sabbath express itself on Tuesday? Let's begin by asking a more fundamental question: What is the underlying premise ofSabbath observance? We work for six days and rest on the seventh because Godworked for six days and rested on the seventh after creatingthe world. And what does our replication of the Divine workschedule suggest to us? It should suggest that on the six days of the week thatwe work, we perceive ourselves as employees in the Divine workshop who havebeen charged with maintaining and enhancing our heavenly employer'sproject.
And what is the message of refraining from writing onthe Sabbath? It is to understand that when we do write--on the other sixdays--we do so according to God's exacting specifications. We write only thetruth, and do not obfuscate. We write only well of others, giving them the benefit of the doubt whenever possible. Our writing needs to be free of offensive language and insensitive references. We write on God's letterhead. This is what it ultimately means to observe the Sabbath.
And what is the message of not having others do work for us on theSabbath? It is that when we do have others working for us, wevalue them as God values them. Our workplaces must be suffused with respect,fairness, and honesty. This is how Sabbath observance and Sabbath observerscome to matter.
Similar discussions can be had concerning refrainingfrom commercial activity on the Sabbath, and refraining from killing eveninsects, or plucking leaves on the seventh day. It's really all about how we doconduct commerce, and how we do interact with God's natural environment onTuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.
This past year, our synagogue became the first in thecountry to work on a Habitat for Humanity site on a Sunday, rather than onHabitat's usual Saturday workday. Of course, this opportunity to helphouse those who need homes is inherently and incredibly worthwhile. Butnext year, I will couple our Habitat workday with a seminar on the previousSaturday, on the laws of not building on the Sabbath.The message will simplybe that we observe the Sabbath fully and totally when we don't build onSaturday, and then build on Sunday.

The Land
Shop Online
Ours is a family estate, with a great wine-growing tradition, rooted in history and perfected on the hills of Pressano.
Over the years, we have converted all our vineyards to organic farming and more recently have started introducing biodynamic principles to our work this has been a journey of constant growth driven by a deep understanding of our land and by our daily commitment in the vineyards.
Currently, our vineyards cover about 20 hectares, lying either in the area of Pressano or in the Sarca valley, and are marked by their great differences in terms of climate and soils.
In addition to a total production of about 125,000 bottles for the different types of wine, we also produce a very limited quantity of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil as well as apples, in the valley-bottom orchards. The latter are partly processed into apple juice.
A family history
n the parish archives of Pressano, our surname appears for the first time in 1751. From that time onwards, the roots of our family, like those of the vineyards, run deep in these hills.
Other documents report the purchase, at the beginning of the nineteenth century, of the Olivar vineyard, which at the time produced Nosiola that was taken by oxen to Innsbruck thanks to Bernardino, our great-grandfather and a subject of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Later, grandfather Rinaldo, with the help of his son Paolo, started selling wine to various taverns in the neighbouring city of Trento. Over
the years and with great dedication, Paolo was able to increase the estate's land and, aided by his sons - Alessandro, Franco, Roberto and Lorenzo - ushered the winery into the modern era.
The wine-growing techniques changed and the pergolas were replaced by trellis systems having greater planting densities and lower plant yields; likewise, winemaking methods evolved and innovative techniques were used to maintain the grape's aromatic integrity and ensure the production of long-lasting wines.
Today, traditional methods and innovative techniques go hand in hand in a constant endeavour to achieve the highest quality.
Today and tomorrow
The wish to produce wines that represent an authentic expression of their land of origin has renewed our respect and care for the vineyard and its ecosystem. Gradually, we have converted all the estate to organic farming and have introduced the principles of biodynamics with the aim of further improving the quality of our grapes, of the wines and of our work.
Our expectations and goals have changed: to stop and listen, become aware and observe - these are the keys to best interpret the unique nature of the living matter that we manage and escort towards the bottle.
Behind every decision, there is our awareness that a healthy and strong vine, with a deep and well-developed root system in an aerated and live soil, produces grapes that are the utmost expression of a specific vineyard and year. Our role is that of mere guardians with a duty to act in the crucial stages of the production process but in a non-invasive yet efficient manner.
Even if our history as wine-growers is seeded far in the past, every day is an opportunity to improve and grow. For this reason we have recently undertaken a process of research and mutual exchange of ideas with the
I Dolomitici
group. This is currently giving us great results and is sure to continue to do so in the future.

Roasting marshmallows is fun. But, roasting the same marshmallow over and over again has always been a challenge. Most people can roast the same mallow a second time, after pulling off the browned outer layer of mallow and placing the remaining mallow back over the fire. Roasting the mallow a third, fourth, or fifth time is very difficult and requires just the right circumstances. Here are my recommendations for you to attempt this feat.
1. Use good old-fashioned mass-produced marshmallows. Not specialty marshmallows like
vegan or generic marshmallows from the local grocery. Campfire and Kraft Jet-Puffed have
been around for a long time and are our go-to mallow for NMRI events. For beginners, we
suggest the Giant Roasters Campfire mallows. These are larger than normal mallows and are
more forgiving, and you may even be able to roast the same mallow six, seven, or more times.
2. Use the correct heat. A roaring, flaming campfire or fire is not ideal for double or triple roasting
the mallow. The uneven heat requires that you leave the mallow in the flames too long to get it
lightly browned all over, constantly adjusting the distance from the uneven heat begets poor
results. The correct heat is from a good bed of very hot, glowing coals from the campfire,
producing a nice steady heat. Just set your distance and rotate the mallow quickly.
3. Rotate the mallow quickly and close to the heat. It will brown fast on the outside and not cook
on the inside. Pull away from the heat when it just turns a nice light brown. If it is too brown on
the outside, it means it is too hot on the inside. When you pull off the outer layer, too much of
the gooey mallow inside comes off. This leaves too little mallow on the stick to roast over and
over again. Ideally, just a paper thin shell or layer comes off each time. And then you roast
again and again.
4. Use wooden skewers. Very important, and often overlooked when attempting multiple roasts
of the same mallow, is the choice of skewer on which to place the mallow. Always use a
wooden roasting skewer, not metal, when attempting multiple roasts of the same mallow.
There are two reasons for using wooden skewers:
- Wooden skewers do not transmit heat as efficiently as metal skewers. With metal skewers, you may be cooking the mallow from within. Mallows tend to then pull entirely off the metal skewers before reaching multiple roastings. We call this premature immolation at the Institute. We have therapists who can help with this.
- Wooden skewers hold the mallow on longer than metal because the surface is rougher than metal. Hint: Take a little piece of rough sandpaper and lightly sand the wooden skewer to roughen up the wood so that the mallow will stick even more. I use SmorStix ash skewers, but have found generic wooden skewers at our local grocery (Raley's) in a small camping section.
If you abide by the recommendations above, and with some good practice, it is possible that you can become one of the most admired mallow multiple roasters around the campfire.
- Use name brand mallows that have been around for a long time.
- Use the correct heat over hot glowing coals, not flames.
- Rotate the mallow quickly and close to the heat.
- Use wooden skewers.

What is PRP?
Most of you have heard of PRP Therapy being used to help professional athletes speed their healing and recovery time after a devastating injury. These athletes received the unique treatment after experiencing injuries that once would have resulted in the player being sidelined for months, but instead experienced an accelerated recovery due to PRP treatments.
What is Platelet Rich Plasma?
Platelets are small disk shaped cells in your blood that contain natural sources of proteins, growth factors and a variety of other natural components which stimulate the healing of your bones and soft tissues.
What does that mean, and is it a scam?
The SpinePain & Orthopedic Injury Center team led by Dr. Lee Ann Brown can most definitely assure you that the treatment is in no way a scam.
Platelets stimulate the natural healing process within your body by their role in the process of blood clotting. By directing their energy toward the site of an injury and attaching to the injured area, the platelets act as building blocks or a foundation where blood coagulation can occur. The result is almost a human bandage that covers the wound and stops blood from escaping your body. The platelets do this while calling stem cells to help kick-start healing. All of this becomes an essential platform, which is needed for new tissue to form and healing to occur.
How is PRP Therapy not a scam?
- The treatment is cost effective.
- The treatment is minimally invasive.
- The treatment is safe, because it is your own blood.
- The treatment is completely natural, using your own platelets.
Platelet Rich Plasma has significant potential for treating tendon, ligament and soft tissue disorders and injuries in any person! There is even some evidence to suggest that PRP may help some patients who are suffering through the early stages of degenerative arthritis.

TROY – Troy University mathematics professor Dr. Sergey Belyi has been named a Fulbright Scholar and will spend three months at East Ukrainian National University and Donetsk National University collaborating on mathematical research.
"The College of Arts and Sciences is extremely proud of Dr. Belyi and we congratulate him on being selected as a Fulbright Scholar," said Dr. Don Jeffrey, Vice Chancellor of TROY's Dothan Campus and interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "I am sure that Dr. Belyi's work in Ukraine during his sabbatical will broaden both the field mathematical analysis and the benefit his students receive from his classes."
Dr. Belyi, who joined the University's faculty in 1996, earned his doctorate from the University of South Florida, where he completed a master of arts degree in mathematics. Originally from Ukraine, he holds both a bachelors and masters degree from Donetsk National University.
"Traditionally Ukraine has several strong scientific groups of mathematicians that work in the field of Functional Analysis and Operator Theory," Dr. Belyi said. "This project is important because upon completion of the project we plan to use our collaborative efforts to obtain new and better results in spectral theory of linear operators, system and control theory, and mathematical physics."
He plans to work with world-recognized experts in the field, professors Vladimir Derkach (Donetsk) and Yury Arlinskii (East Ukraine), with whom he has collaborated in the past. He will also take an active role in several seminars with faculty and students at both universities.
"This project will help establish long-term research contacts with between Troy University and two major universities of Eastern Ukraine (Donetsk National University and East Ukrainian National University), he said. "Faculty and graduate students of these schools will have a firsthand experience communicating and working with a representative of a United States higher education establishment without having language and cultural barriers."
Dr. Belyi earned the Phi Kappa Phi Distinguished Scholar Award in 1999, is a past-president of the Mathematics Section of the Alabama Academy of Sciences and is associate editor of MERLOT, the Mathematics Editorial Board.
The Fulbright program is administered by the U.S. Department of State.

update on the English Community Shield, French Supercup, and the German Supercup, Inter Milan and Barcelona won their respective Supercups. Inter defeated Roma 3-1 at the San Siro winning their 5th Italian Supercup, and Barcelona defeated Sevilla in their two leg Supercup, losing the first leg away 3-1, but winning the return leg at the Camp Nou 4-0 with Messi scoring a hat trick (aggregate score 5-3 for Barcelona).
Barcelona lost the first leg in Seville 3-1 (with Ibrahimovic scoring), but they didn't have trouble winning the second leg by more than enough at the Camp Nou. The scoring started in the 13th minute when Pedro dribbled into the Sevilla penalty area, and his shot hit Konko, who unluckily scored against his own team. Then 11 minutes later the Messi show started, his first goal was provided by Xavi who split the Sevilla defense with a sublime through pass, and Messi provided the finish. The second saw Messi served inside the box, with the Argentinean smashing the ball into the roof of the net with no trouble. The fourth goal came in the dying minutes after Iniesta played the ball for Messi to crash into the net, winning the Spanish Supercup with an aggregate score of 5-3 for the Catalans.
