The IPL marketing managers have, so far, failed to arouse both interest and enthusiasm amongst the viewers. How they are going to grab the eyeballs is a million dollar question on every one's mind. If, at all, IPL has dominated the news headlines; it has done so for all the wrong reasons. A couple of days ago there was a news item about the Sri Lankan players not allowed to play the IPL matches in Chennai.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the politicians have started using IPL as a tool to settle their political scores. Cricketers and the cricket managers have been deprived of an opportunity to milk IPL for their personal popularity and gains. Be that as it may, the fact that IPL is likely to prove to be a damp squib this time around has left the organisers a worried lot. Suddenly they have realised that the cricket fatigue is setting and the upcoming edition of IPL is yet to find many takers.
Since the stakes are high and big bucks are riding on the success of this IPL tournament, the strategy makers have gone into a huddle so as to come out with a winning formula that makes this edition of IPL a super success. The major stakeholders in IPL are not the players but beleaguered businessman like Vijay Mallya who is hoping that his team RCB will turn around the fortunes of debt ridden KFA and employees will finally receive their much awaited salaries.
In terms of debts, inflated egos, political rivalries and sinking popularity, there is indeed a lot that is at stake with regards to IPL. This IPL edition is a make or break for many stakeholders including players in more ways than one. Keeping all these factors in mind, the marketing in-charge of IPL has got a few game changing ideas in one of the brain storming sessions.
This self proclaimed reporter filed an RTI to get the minutes of the strategy meet of the IPL marketing team. According to the highly confidential documents available with this reporter, in the said meeting, a unanimous decision has been taken to withdraw all TV commercials featuring Farah Khan whose irritating dance moves have enraged the viewers world wide. There were reports of a few frustrated viewers having smashed their TV sets as soon as the ad had appeared on their TV screens. Somehow the IPL organising committee managed to stop those news items from making it to the headlines of the newspapers and TV news channels.
However, with less than a week to go before the IPL tournament gets underway, all is not lost. The think tank has been surfing the latest trends in the cyberspace. The startling revelation is Justice Katju. His open letters have got an uncanny knack of ending up as the talk of the nation. These MBA guys have reportedly roped in Mr. Justice Katju to write an open letter to the cricket lovers. In his soon to come out open letter – the draft of which is being carefully reviewed – he is going to cite example of how this IPL edition is different from the previous ones and why watching IPL will improve the overall IQ of the nation and how each countryman will be doing a great service to the nation by watching those games.
This move will really hit the bull's eye and do wonders for IPL and its popularity. In addition to Katju's open letter, Sanjay Dutt has been roped in to file a petition in the court requesting that he be granted time till IPL is over to surrender. In the run up to the final date of IPL, a lot many things are expected to make the IPL tournament the top most trending topics across various online social platforms.
Marketing is an art of making the shit hit the fan. Once the shit hits the fan, there's no looking back. The IPL marketers are just going to do that. After all, isn't everything fair in love and war?
Two Children Of Destiny : MMS & SRT

What's with the batting maestro Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar and controversies? Of late, the Little Master has courted more than his share of controversies all that he has done for the country not withstanding. His recent failures are hard to explain away. Finally the age is catching up with him. This is precisely why the time for him has come to hang the boots and walk into the sunset.
This is what every expert on the subject has been suggesting to whoever cares to listen. Some of these experts have been close SRT watchers ever since his debut. It is indeed ironical that the same experts had never grown tired of waxing eloquences on the man when he was on a song and no world record – however big – seemed to pose any major challenge to his magical willow.
The reason often cited apart from his recent loss of form both home and abroad is all his contemporaries have called it a day. What for SRT is waiting? Every time he interacts with the media, the million dollar question invariably crops up which he politely leaves alone like a delivery outside his off-stump. He is a genius who doesn't like to be told what he should do next although he may be acutely aware of the growing clamour for his retirement all around him. He just shrugs it off and moves on.
What makes him hang in there? He has everything. He has broken every record there was to break. Then why not give up? Why not make way for younger feet and fitter body? Well, it is easier said than done especially when all you have done throughout the life is just go out there and play cricket.
However dangerous it may be to mix politics and sports together, nobody can deny that when mixed together, they produce a heady effect. For example, try as one might to control the temptation to draw certain parallels between Sachin Tendulkar and Dr. Manmohan Singh, it is so difficult since they are so glaring.
At the moment both these men are under tremendous pressure to give up their jobs. The louder the demands for their resignations, the more tightly they appear to be clinging to their respective jobs. Although cricket is a team game, the individual performances do matter. If a member of playing eleven is unable to contribute to the side's victory, he has to face the axe. This is a rule supposed to be applicable for all the players irrespective of their stature. Nobody can rest on his past laurels to quote a famous adage, "you are as good as your last innings."
The similarities between SRT and MMS are many. In SRT's case, despite his poor run the team is winning. In MMS' case, both he and country are losing. SRT is unable to move his feet to face the delivery bowled at him. MMS is unable to move his lips to answer questions put to him. SRT undergoes long practice sessions at the nets to play himself back into the form. MMS holds long closed doors meetings with the party High Command to keep himself glued to the chair.
Noticing their present discomfiture both their respective well-wishers and detractors unite to demand their resignations which always falls on deaf ears.Do we have any right to sharpen our knives and bay for these two gentlemen's blood? Haven't they done this country enough proud during their hay days?
As one extremely knowledgeable gentleman rightly put it on Twitter that those who have never held a cricket bat are demanding SRT's retirement. How true this observation is! Come to think of the fact that more than fifty percent cricket lovers who watch the teams play either in stadiums or on TVs have never held cricket bats in their hands.
I wished the gentleman had gone on to say that those who have never held prime minister's post are asking for his resignation. How apt it would have been!
Morale of the whole retirement/resignation saga is ex-cricketrs and ex-prime ministers have the exclusive rights to demand their counterparts' retirement/resignation. If this point goes across, then hopefully all the noise will die down.
Shah Rukh Khan The Angry Young Man

Shah Rukh Khan is an undisputed king. This Badshah of Bollywood has got an uncanny knack of hogging the media spotlight by getting into controversies. His IPL team KKR is on fire in the current season and has emerged as one of the hot-favourites to claim the title of the champions.
Well, but Shah Rukh Khan is an actor. Acting is his sole forte. Since he is an entrepreneur, he has made his foray into the sports arena. Of late the magic of Shah Rukh Khan on the celluloid appears to be on the wane. The rival Khans have outsmarted him and now in the race of Number One they've left him far behind. The latest salvo is from the Aamir Khan camp in the form of a much-talked reality TV show "Satyameva Jayate".
Obviously these latest developments have left the King Khan scratching his head. The crown is in danger of either falling off or being snatched away. His insecurity has begun to manifest itself in various ways. In the recent past he has got himself involved in a couple of scuffles. In one incident he had allegedly given a tight slap to the poor Shirish Kunder. And in the latest incident he has bravely taken on the cops of Mumbai at the Wankhede stadium.
The allegations of Shah Rukh in inebriated condition at the stadium have flying thick and fast although the actor had categorically denied them. The million dollar question is why does Shah Rukh Khan get angry? Why is the King Khan so temperamental? What makes the Badshah of Bollywood so controversial? Has all these recent incidents of his public display of machoism got something to do with his failing charisma on the celluloid?
The competition is cut-throat in the film industry. It's a high pressure job where every Friday determines your present status and the rightful place in the hierarchy. It is a snake and ladder game where a wrong throw of dice can plunge you into the depth of despair. In such a scenario, he seems to be making a bold statement through his off-screen actions.
By taking on the mighty cops of Mumbai in front of cameras, he has sent out a strong signal to his detractors and competitors alike. The message is "I am the King Khan and I will be back with a bang. You can keep me down for a while. But you cannot throw me out forever." Otherwise how else can you explain his stand on the manhandling of little girls by the policemen on duty at the stadium?
He seems to have killed two birds with one stone. Aamir Khan took up the issue of the female infanticide in the inaugural episode of "Satyameva Jayte" and got the whole world talking about it. Shah Rukh soon realised that the issue of girl child is an emotive one that has tremendous potential to whip up the frenzy and hysteria. Which is why he highlighted in no uncertain terms that he was only trying to rescue the young girls from the clutches of the evil men (and thereby professing his unconditional love for the girl child).
Secondly, by taking on the men in uniform he was sounding a warning bell to Salman Khan aka Bodyguard who is all set to take the world by storm with his upcoming Ek Tha Tiger. The message for Sallubhai was it is no use acting Bodyguard or tiger on screen if in real life you're scared of flexing your muscles. Whether both these Khans will get the messages through these actions or not remains to be seen. The fact is Shah Rukh Khan is likely to face a life-ban on his entry into the Wankhede stadium.
But the King Khan is too smart to care for such bans. He will pull a few strings in the capital and have the whole issue hushed up. Nobody will be surprised when the story of the matter between him and the cops having been amicably sorted out breaks before the IPL final complete with the pictures of the King Khan giving a big beer hug to all the policemen present on that fateful evening at Wankhede.
As they say, "As in cricket, class is permanent and form is temporary so in stardom controversies are permanent and charisma is slippery." Are we witnessing the end of an era for the King Khan?
Sachin Tendulkar's New Innings

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar has achieved everything at such a young age. Many of his achievements are so rare and extraordinary in nature that most of us cannot even think of achieving them in our dreams. He has not only broken all the records on the cricket ground but also set many new records. In every sense of the word he is the God of cricket.
Then why this outrage against someone upon whom we have bestowed the sobriquet of God so adoringly? Sachin Tendulkar is an extremely smart icon of the contemporary India. He is one of those rare living legends who has never courted any controversies in his career spanning across a couple of decades. His integrity is beyond reproach. His level of commitment speaks for itself. If he wants to become the Rajya Sabha MP, let him become. It is a matter of his personal choice.
Quite surprisingly those who claim to be the fans of Sachin Tendulkar have gone on a rampage in the cyberspace with a cry of their idol being used as a pawn in the great game of politics. The problem is it is the Congress which has nominated him as the Rajya Sabha MP. In the recent times, the Congress-led UPA government has been at the receiving end for almost everything under the sun. The government has been battling against the corruption charges. The leaders are often seen squabbling in public and to the party's embarrassment coming out with the contradictory statements.
Many blame this government for muzzling Team Anna's anti-corruption movement that had the massive popular support and was promising to root out the corruption completely by introducing the Jan Lokapal. The devil lies in these details here. According to those who are protesting the master blaster has committed a grave sin by accepting the nomination as the Rajya Sabha PM from such a corrupt government. And this is why many fans have begun to paint him with the same brush as they paint this corrupt government.
His former colleagues too have expressed concern over such a move the God of cricket seems determined to make. The path that he is contemplating is fraught with many dangers and this may harm his status and popularity adversely. There's nothing wrong in what they are saying publicly. Even Sachin Tendulkar knows that the politics is a dirty game and the politicians are hated by one and all in our country although we cannot do without them.
Sachin Tendulkar knows what he is doing. He has always known what he has done in the past. When he completed his hundredth hundred, rumours were rife that he was going to hang his boots. But he surprised everyone by saying that there was still a lot of cricket left in him and the retirement was the last thing on his mind. This goes to show how well the world knows Sachin Tendulkar.
All said and done, every cricket lover has followed Sachin's on and off field heroics closely ever since he made his debut. But nobody can claim to know Sachin Tendulkar fully. He is one person who holds his cards close to his chest. Politics is one field that tends to attract every celebrity in some way after he or she has achieved everything and the popularity is all time high.
Sachin Tendulkar rarely does anything without thinking the matter thoroughly. His decision to join the Rajya Sabha as an MP too must have undergone vigorous thinking before the final call. Who knows he has got some grand vision for the sporting fraternity? Who knows he has some plans up his sleeve that he wants to share with his countrymen as an MP? He has not joined the Congress or any other political party for the sake of becoming a CM or PM. Nor he has vowed to support or campaign for any political outfit in the upcoming elections.
Then what has got his fans' knickers in a twist? Why are they suddenly turning into foes with the hashtag #UnfollowSachin on twitter and other forms of venomous abuses against him? Instead of wishing him all the best for the new career he has chosen for himself, why subject him to unnecessary character assassination? He is not some retired and out-of-work cricketer who has nothing else to do and therefore he has decided to join politics.
He deserves a lot of praise for becoming the MP when he is still playing and looks forward to taking an active part in the next World Cup too. When I think of his desire to serve the people of this country selflessly after entertaining them for so many years, the admiration grows for him by leaps and bounds. He is surely going to do justice to what he has taken up and won't merely end up as an ornamental MP as some are suggesting.
As far as the controversies go, he has got years of experience behind him and he knows how to steer clear of them. All year round he is busy playing cricket and how he is going to be able to attend the sessions of parliament and take part in the proceedings to share his vision. Well, to this hypothetical theory nobody can give convincing answer until the man is seen in action inside the parliament.
This stint as the Rajya Sabha MP he fully deserves and moreover going by his track record, the God is going to come out smelling of roses in this endeavour as well. All the best, Sachin.
Lalit Modi For President?

This is the time when everybody wants to prop up his or her candidate for the post of the President of India. Although this is not the most powerful post in the Indian polity, every political party wants to install their man at the helm so that when the time comes, he can return the favour.
Many out-of-work politicians throw their hats in the ring. Before they fade into the oblivion, they want to try their luck at the shot of immortality that the post of the Prez tends to offer. Having said that there are many politicians who would like to have a young President this time around who is not necessarily from the political background. The J&K CM tweeted earlier in the day to convey this message.
Now if this were to really happen, who fits the bill? India is a young country, and; the young generation would love to have a young President if given a chance. The President should be someone who is always in the news for the bold decision he takes and thereby controversies that he generates. At any given point of time half a dozen OB vans belonging to various media houses ought to be stationed outside the official residence of the Prez awaiting breaking news or some juicy stories.
Who can call a spade a spade and cope up with the pulls and pressures that are such an integral part of the life after occupying the chair of the President? Well, there is only one brave heart who can set a new precedent by becoming the President of India. That person is none other than Mr. Lalit Modi.
Mr. Lalit Modi needs no introduction. The whole world knows him. The politicians cutting across the party lines swear by his popularity. He has forever changed the face of cricket by launching the IPL and introducing the concept of franchising into the much loved sport of this country. Who can forget the initial shock waves generated by the auction of big cricketers?
If he becomes the President of India, the first thing he will do is introduce the same concept of franchising into the politics as well. Unlike IPL, this political franchises will have state wise teams. This means the number of Indian states will equal the number of political teams. Each team will be known by the name of the state it represents and not by the name the respective franchise owners choose for their respective teams.Each team will comprise of twenty five politicians from the state the team comes. International politicians will not be allowed to be a part of any team.
Imagine the high profile politicians owned by the Tatas, Birlas, Ambanis, Khans, Adanis and Mittals of this country. Their job will be to legislate maximum laws favouring their masters. If any politicians fail to do so, his owner has every right to discard him or her before the next general elections that take place every five years.
The official residence of the President boasts of a palatial bungalow that never sees much partying or flurry of guests. But with Mr. Lalit Modi at the helm the bungalow will see as many parties as possible. After the grueling day at the Parliament he would love to relax amidst young and bubbly cheerleaders from across the country. All the franchise owners too will gather there and have a good time by socialising with one another over free flow of liquor with the liquor baron Mr. Vijay Mallya promising to provide unlimited supply of all his famous brands of whiskey and beer.
All his detractors will flee the country and live in exile when he becomes the President. But Mr. Lalit Modi won't indulge in any kind of political vendetta. On the other hand, he will pursue them to return to the country by rolling a red carpet upon their arrival. Mr. Modi is a kind soul who wants every human being on earth to prosper and enjoy. This is precisely why he gifted IPL to his countrymen by bringing together players, coaches and commentators from across the world.
Similarly he will bring together the politicians of all hues and cries by promising them mega bucks from their respective owners. This will foster a lot of healthy competition amongst the politicians as their prices and selection will depend purely on their performances, and not on any kind of muscle power. The party high command culture will make way for the board-room kind of culture as "shape-up-or-ship-out" will be the only motto that will come to determine the worth and usefulness of any politician worth his salt.
Finally the biggest advantage or disadvantage (depending upon the way you look at it) of Mr. Lalit Modi becoming the President of India will be that Narendra Modi will have to wait few more years to stake his claim to become the prime minister since two Modis at the helm will send out wrong signals and their common last names will create a lot of confusion amongst the visiting foreign dignitaries.
This means one Modi's gain is another Modi's loss. But all said and done Mr. Lalit Modi is the one man who can bring much needed glamour to the post of the President of India which it lacks as of now.
Lalit Modi & Rs. 28

Lalit Modi is a very nice man. He has done a big favour to the cricket crazy nation like India by having launched IPL. In the process, he has made the BCCI rich, many cricketers richer and has given the film-stars a golden opportunity to stay in the limelight for all the reasons right or wrong. The name of Lalit Modi will go down in history as someone who tortured the Indian cinema goers with an utterly ridiculous flick like Ra-One. How? Had Shah Rukh Khan not bought KKR, he wouldn't have got enough money to make Ra-One and we all would have been spared from the traumatic three hours of watching it.
Lalit Modi is the man responsible for Shashi Tharoor's marriage to Sunanda Pushker. It was he who made things easier for the dapper Mr Tharoor by tweeting about his interest in Sunanda Pushker and setting the couple up nicely for the marital bliss. Had he not done so, Mr. Tharoor would still be pulling his hair out thinking about how to propose to Sunanda Madam. As we all know Mr Vijay Mallya's passion for sports in general and the cheer leaders in particular, it was Lalit Modi who made it possible for him to import the scantily clad cheer leaders from the USA.
The more one talks about Lalit Modi's favours to the world cricket and the upper strata of the society, the less it is. One has to write a book of several hundred pages to do justice to the immense contribution this man has made and continues to make even as I write this piece in his honour. Everybody wants to have a friend like Lalit Modi as he is the man of all seasons.
The icing on the cake is when Lalit Modi learnt of his poor countrymen living on a paltry sum of Rs. 28/- per day, his heart went out to those poor people. And as a result, since he is a man of action, he has decided to take a vow of a simple living by abandoning the luxurious and lavish life he has been leading until now. To make things easier for this extraordinary son of the soil, the London Court has come to the rescue by declaring him bankrupt so that he cannot change his mind at the last minute.
The word out there is he failed to pay the Page Group – an international securities and risk assessment company – the fee of Rs 53 lakhs for the services provided in the year 2010. Nobody is ready to believe this news to be true. Lalit Modi is a generous human being who gave away crores of rupees to Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shashtri just to sing the praises of IPL on air. How can such a man of impeccable integrity and sound character refuse to pay the monies for the securities and risk assessment knowing he has plenty of enemies out there?
The world has no idea how simple a person Lalit Modi is. Everybody who supported him for his IPL venture has made millions of dollars. Whereas the brain behind the venture has given it all up for his destitute fellow countrymen. Living on Rs 28 abroad is going to be a tough challenge for this 21st century saint. But he is not the one to shy away from the challenges however tough they may be. Keeping all this in mind, it is going to be really interesting to see how he pulls this-living-on-Rs.-28 per day off successfully.
God Of Cricket Is Sachin Tendulkar

At last, the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has scored his hundredth hundred. The entire nation has heaved a sigh of relief. Right from the PM of India to the aam aadmi, congratulatory messages for the little master has been flying thick and fast. This feat has overshadowed the Union Budget 2012. What makes this hundred so special? Every cricket lover in general and the Sachin Tendulkar fan in particular knows for sure what this hundred means since it is the ultimate pinnacle of success any sportsman can ever dream of. Nobody can break this incredible record achieved after giving everything that only someone as lion-hearted as Sachin Tendulkar could have given.
But not everybody is happy with this hundredth hundred. This record has been in the making for quite some time now and the delay has caused this record to get into the eye of an storm. Little Master must have been quite appalled and perhaps this is why even he didn't seem quite happy or elated after scoring that elusive hundred. Bangladesh are easy opponents, and, Sachin Tendulkar getting his hundred in this game was a given fact even before the first ball was bowled. All said and done, little master has yet again made all the Indians feel immensely proud and what he has done today, only he could have done.
Every cricket lover knows that Sachin has been playing tirelessly for his country for over two decades now. He has entertained us, come to our rescue and given us plenty of reasons to smile whenever we, as a nation, have felt down and out. This is why when some so-called high fliers masquerading as the intelligentsia of this country give unsolicited advice to the God of cricket for bowing out like Rahul Dravid did recently angers all Sachin and non-Sachin fans alike. The man has done something that we cannot imagine doing in our wildest dreams. Scoring a hundredth hundred against any opposition on any soil is not a child's play. Then why this clamour for his retirement?
It is really sad to see some people thinking so shallow for the man who has done so much for his country. He has endured it all from endless jokes about his hundredth hundred to growing criticism for continuing in the face of poor form to not making way for a younger player to build the team for the next World Cup. God alone knows what it feels like to be in Sachin Tendulkar's shoes at this moment. I am sure nobody wants to be Sachin Tendulkar at the moment although the man has set a new record and truly deserves to be called the God of Cricket.
Those who are calling for his retirement instead of Bharat Ratna are showing themselves in a very poor light. God will take a call when the time comes to call it a day. By spreading the message he ought to retire now makes it sound as if he only plays for his personal milestones and not for the country. Cricket is a team game and nobody can play for such a long time if he plays only for his personal milestones.
Long live Sachin Tendulkar for creating a new record, for creating a history and for generating so much of hysteria. Down with all those snobs calling for his retirement for only those with twisted mentality can do so.

"We need to remain silent as we gaze upon the crib." 8th Day of Christmas 2018
Pope Francis at Christmas Mass:
This same faith impels us to make space for a new social imagination, and not to be afraid of experiencing new forms of relationship, in which none have to feel that there is no room for them on this earth. Christmas is a time for turning the power of fear into the power of charity, into power for a new imagination of charity. The charity that does not grow accustomed to injustice, as if it were something natural, but that has the courage, amid tensions and conflicts, to make itself a "house of bread", a land of hospitality. That is what Saint John Paul II told us: "Do not be afraid! Open wide the doors for Christ" (Homily for the Inauguration of the Pontificate, 22 October 1978).
In the Child of Bethlehem, God comes to meet us and make us active sharers in the life around us. He offers himself to us, so that we can take him into our arms, lift him and embrace him. So that in him we will not be afraid to take into our arms, raise up and embrace the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, the imprisoned (cf. Mt 25:35-36). "Do not be afraid! Open wide the doors for Christ". In this Child, God invites us to be messengers of hope. He invites us to become sentinels for all those bowed down by the despair born of encountering so many closed doors. In this child, God makes us agents of his hospitality.
Moved by the joy of the gift, little Child of Bethlehem, we ask that your crying may shake us from our indifference and open our eyes to those who are suffering. May your tenderness awaken our sensitivity and recognize our call to see you in all those who arrive in our cities, in our histories, in our lives. May your revolutionary tenderness persuade us to feel our call to be agents of the hope and tenderness of our people.
The year opens in the name of the Mother. Mother of God is the most important title of Our Lady. But we might ask why we say Mother of God, and not Mother of Jesus. In the past some wanted to be content simply with the latter, but the Church has declared that Mary is the Mother of God. We should be grateful, because these words contain a magnificent truth about God and about ourselves. From the moment that our Lord became incarnate in Mary, and for all time, he took on our humanity. There is no longer God without man; the flesh Jesus took from his Mother is our own, now and for all eternity. To call Mary the Mother of God reminds us of this: God is close to humanity, even as a child is close to the mother who bears him in her womb.
The word mother (mater) is related to the word matter. In his Mother, the God of heaven, the infinite God, made himself small, he became matter, not only to be with us but also to be like us. This is the miracle, the great novelty! Man is no longer alone; no more an orphan, but forever a child. The year opens with this novelty. And we proclaim it by saying: Mother of God! Ours is the joy of knowing that our solitude has ended. It is the beauty of knowing that we are beloved children, of knowing that this childhood of ours can never be taken away from us. It is to see a reflection of ourselves in the frail and infant God resting in his mother's arms, and to realize that humanity is precious and sacred to the Lord. Henceforth, to serve human life is to serve God. All life, from life in the mother's womb to that of the elderly, the suffering and the sick, and to that of the troublesome and even repellent, is to be welcomed, loved and helped.
Let us now be guided by today's Gospel. Only one thing is said about the Mother of God: "Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart" (Lk 2:19). She kept them. She simply kept; Mary does not speak. The Gospel does not report a single word of hers in the entire account of Christmas. Here too, the Mother is one with her Son: Jesus is an "infant", a child "unable to speak". The Word of God, who "long ago spoke in many and various ways" (Heb 1:1), now, in the "fullness of time" (Gal 4:4), is silent. The God before whom all fall silent is himself a speechless child. His Majesty is without words; his mystery of love is revealed in lowliness. This silence and lowliness is the language of his kingship. His Mother joins her Son and keeps these things in silence.
That silence tells us that, if we would "keep" ourselves, we need silence. We need to remain silent as we gaze upon the crib. Pondering the crib, we discover anew that we are loved; we savour the real meaning of life. As we look on in silence, we let Jesus speak to our heart. His lowliness lays low our pride; his poverty challenges our outward display; his tender love touches our hardened hearts. To set aside a moment of silence each day to be with God is to "keep" our soul; it is to "keep" our freedom from being corroded by the banality of consumerism, the blare of commercials, the stream of empty words and the overpowering waves of empty chatter and loud shouting.
The Gospel goes on to say that Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart. What were these things? They were joys and sorrows. On the one hand, the birth of Jesus, the love of Joseph, the visit of the shepherds, that radiant night. But on the other, an uncertain future, homelessness "because there was no place for them in the inn" (Lk 2:7), the desolation of rejection, the disappointment of having to give birth to Jesus in a stable. Hopes and worries, light and darkness: all these things dwelt in the heart of Mary. What did she do? She pondered them, that is to say she dwelt on them, with God, in her heart. She held nothing back; she locked nothing within out of self-pity or resentment. Instead, she gave everything over to God. That is how she "kept" those things. We "keep" things when we hand them over: by not letting our lives become prey to fear, distress or superstition, by not closing our hearts or trying to forget, but by turning everything into a dialogue with God. God, who keeps us in his heart, then comes to dwell in our lives.
These, then, are the secrets of the Mother of God: silently treasuring all things and bringing them to God. And this took place, the Gospel concludes, in her heart. The heart makes us look to the core of the person, his or her affections and life. At the beginning of the year, we too, as Christians on our pilgrim way, feel the need to set out anew from the centre, to leave behind the burdens of the past and to start over from the things that really matter. Today, we have before us the point of departure: the Mother of God. For Mary is exactly what God wants us to be, what he wants his Church to be: a Mother who is tender and lowly, poor in material goods and rich in love, free of sin and united to Jesus, keeping God in our hearts and our neighbour in our lives. To set out anew, let us look to our Mother. In her heart beats the heart of the Church. Today's feast tells us that if we want to go forward, we need to turn back: to begin anew from the crib, from the Mother who holds God in her arms.
Devotion to Mary is not spiritual etiquette; it is a requirement of the Christian life. Looking to the Mother, we are asked to leave behind all sorts of useless baggage and to rediscover what really matters. The gift of the Mother, the gift of every mother and every woman, is most precious for the Church, for she too is mother and woman. While a man often abstracts, affirms and imposes ideas, a woman, a mother, knows how to "keep", to put things together in her heart, to give life. If our faith is not to be reduced merely to an idea or a doctrine, all of us need a mother's heart, one which knows how to keep the tender love of God and to feel the heartbeat of all around us. May the Mother, God's finest human creation, guard and keep this year, and bring the peace of her Son to our hearts and to our world.
Julian of Norwich, 14th century:
And so in our making, God almighty is our father by nature; and God all wisdom is our mother by nature, along with the love and goodness of the Holy Ghost; and these are all one God, one Lord....
For our whole life falls into three parts. In the first we exist, in the second we grow and in the third we are completed. The first is nature, the second is mercy, the third is grace. As for the first, I saw and understood that the great power of the Trinity is our father, and the deep wisdom of the Trinity is our mother, and the great love of the Trinity is our lord; and we have all this by nature and in our essential being. And furthermore, I saw that as the second Person of is mother of our essential being, so that same well-loved Person has become mother of our sensory being; for God makes us double, as essential and sensory beings. Our essential part is the higher part, which we have in our Father, God almighty; and the second Person of the Trinity is our mother in nature and our essential creation, in whom we are grounded and rooted, and he is our mother in mercy taking on our sensory being. And so our Mother, in whom our parts are kept unparted, works in us in various ways; for in our Mother, Christ, we profit and grow, and in mercy he reforms and restores us, and through the power of his Passion and his death and rising again, he unites us to our essential being. This is how our Mother mercifully acts to all his children who are submissive and obedient to him.
But Jesus, who in this vision informed me of all that I needed to know, answered with this assurance: 'Sin is befitting, but all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.'
With this bare word 'sin" our Lord brought to my mind the whole extent of all that is not good, and the shameful scorn and the utter humiliation that he bore for us in this life, and his dying, and all the pains and sufferings of his creatures, both in body and spirit--for we are all to some extent brought to nothing and shall be brought to nothing as our master Jesus was, until we are fully purged: that is to say until our mortal flesh is brought completely to nothing, and all those of our inward feelings which are not truly good. Have me insight into these things, along with all pains that ever were and ever shall be; and compared with these I realize that Christ's Passion was the greatest pain and went beyond them all. And all this was shown in a flash, an quickly changed into comfort; for our good Lord did not want the soul to be afraid at this ugly sight.
....And because of the tender love which our Lord feels for all who shall be saved, he supports us willingly and sweetly, meaning this: 'It is true that sin is the cause of all this suffering, but all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.'

I'm going to be talking today at 1400 EST to Andrew Lubin, a freelance journalist, blogger and Military.com contributor about his recent trip to Afghanistan.
Andrew has some rather controversial impressions from his visit — is the Army losing its fighting spirit, can McChrystal win the counterinsurgency fight, what makes the Marines' strategy so successful?
We'll answer all those questions and more live today on our Boots on the Ground podcast. Please join us for a listen.
UPDATE: Below you'll see the final version of the podcast. You can also feel free to subscribe to Boots on the Ground with iTunes.
Andrew paints a pretty bleak picture of Army operations in the East…a contingent of troops who lack the aggression and are unwilling to assume the risks inherent in a true counterinsurgency campaign. Lubin also says that while the overall commander, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, is a solid Soldier, it's unclear that he lacks the "Big Army" mentality to streamline the decision making, shift the emphasis from force protection to "clear, hold and build" in a simultaneous way and to win over the Afghans who respect aggression and decisiveness.
Lubin also tells of some pretty harsh restrictions on fire support missions and feeds in some reporing he's uncovered about what went wrong at Wanat and Camp Keating which were both nearly overrun by Taliban assaults. This is a must listen.

Best Ways to Learn Scuba Diving
In the course of training by the scuba divers' trainers, the trainee will be taught the skills of scuba diving and also the use of the underwater facilities in case of an emergency. Accidents like death are usually associated with rough water conditions such as waves, poor buoyancy control, poor gas management. Misuse of equipment can lead to drowning. In some cases, pre-existing health problems can also result in loss of life.
The dives are done over the course of two to four days. For a person to be certified to go diving it means they have been trained and passed a scuba diving course which is normally given by one of the accredited scuba divers certification agencies such as PADI or NAUI. The requirements of taking the certified scuba diving course include one to be in good physical shape, must have a clearance form from the doctor, the person should be comfortable in water and also fill out a medical questionnaire before you begin the course.
This c- the card is usually offered after completion of the scuba diving course. For advanced open water diver certification, one should finish the course and pass the tests and dives successfully. The person is also required to go down one hundred and thirty feet underwater successfully.
Practising patience will also make you have enough courage and overcome fear when underwater. He will give you the time you need to master or familiarize yourself with the skills he or she will be showing you during the trainee.
The scuba diving instructor will teach the trainee the concepts of practicing buoyancy like being properly weighted so that you will be able to descend correctly and successfully.
PADI stands for Professional Association of Diving instructors. PADI is the largest scuba certifying agency in the whole world. It can also be done successfully by other home study options offered by your local dive shop or even resort of your own choice.
It is important for a person that has interest of eLearning through the Professional A association of Diving Instructors to know and understand the advantages and disadvantages. The benefits are that it is cheaper to learn the scuba diving lessons through PADI than doing the course in a classroom setting as this will avoid wasting time or consuming much time to go for the lessons. You can fit in any sessions around your life comfortably without worrying much about your classes. A person that has successfully taken the scuba diving course and has passed the tests and dives and also is a holder of a certificate of scuba diving could also be a life saver when incidences like when a person drowns in an ocean or a pool happen.
The disadvantages of learning scuba diving lessons through the Professional A association of Diving instructors is that a person taking the course does not get the same degree of support.
A parent should ensure that he or she looks for a scuba diving instructor that she or she can trust.

We've just released a new free tool, which as the name suggests, allows you to export whole JDE tables into XML.
It uses JDE functionality, so the resulting files are compatible with and importable with R98403XA.
1) The export process is remarkably fast, so this process can be used for DB migrations across databases or systems;
2) Of course the XML files can be filtered manually after they are created, so they may only contain a subset of the rows in the end - this way bits and pieces of your data can be shipped off for installation elsewhere;
3) As you know, R98403XA has a number of options that control how the data is to be imported, so that part is reasonably flexible. In fact, this is how ESU's normally deliver any additional configuration data.
You can download it directly from our website, just go to http://www.everestsoftint.com/download.php and fill in the request form. (double-check your e-mail address before submitting the form and if you still do not receive an automated response, check with your mail admins, or try using another email address)

I am so excited to have you here on my site and I know that you will find each episode inspiring, entertaining and educational. My purpose behind each episode of the podcast is to interact with various guest who are leaders of their industry and have lots to say about our present-day world. I am thrilled that so many guests from varying industries have agreed to talk with me as we interact about anything and everything.
Enjoy the shows!
About The Show
Welcome to "Left-Right-Forward Podcast" Conversations with Ambassador Delano Lewis.
The format is one of rekindled conversation with prominent individuals that helped me in my career and how I may have helped them. These are real stories, unscripted and honest. The format is the sharing of memories that intertwine with my career, stories that you would never hear anywhere else unless you happen to be a "fly on the wall"
For example, a candid conversation with Robert Johnson and how he Co-founded B.E.T. and became the first African American billionaire. Or a conversation with former Secretary of State Madeline Albright about how she addressed me in the hallway during my training before leaving for South Africa as the U.S. Ambassador. What if you could hear the back and forth of the call when then-Vice President Al Gore called my home in New Mexico to offer me the opportunity to become the next ambassador to South Africa.
The guest I have reached out to have indicated that they normally don't do a podcast, but for me they beamed with excitement. I must admit that I am still in shock that I have yet to receive a no from anyone I've reached out to. The lineup for the first year is nothing short of a who's who in our country. The listener will be inspired, young or old. They will be entertained as well as let in on stories that were probably going to die within me. The symmetry of being a bit nervous about turning 80 and now having this incredible opportunity to share real-life stories of my career with the people who were right there at the time has turned back the clock for me personally.
I am extremely blessed to have such a supportive family and such amazing friends and co-workers that have helped me along the way. I am sure they will say that I helped them as well and that is true, but what brings the most joy is that I have found my "what's next" I hope you plan on being a fly on the wall.

Video Art Program[The 62nd Program] Ayako Yoshimura
September 26–December 2, 2018
Places-a city, 2006/2014 color, sound, 15min.11sec./ looped
In this work, Yoshimura combines photos taken in 12 cities, including Tokyo, Shanghai, and New York to create an imaginary urban landscape. All we see are architectural structures and natural scenery, and there are no cars or trains running through it, nor any human or animal life in evidence. Without the activity of living creatures, the silent city resembles a ruin. 18th-century painters found a sublime beauty in ancient buildings and ruins, and incorporated these subjects into their paintings to produce idealized fantastic landscapes. In contrast, the city Yoshimura creates could hardly be called ideal, and with regional character and human activity eliminated, it raises contemporary issues like the homogenization of our landscape and the bland, inorganic quality of cities today.
Ayako Yoshimura:
From Kanagawa Prefecture, lives and works in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Earned a BA from College of Arts, Rikkyo University and studied in the B-semi schooling system. MFA from Sandberg Institute (Amsterdam). Major solo exhibitions include One place-home (2002) at Kojimachi Gallery (Tokyo), and Variations on a Theme-Nature (2013) at Punt WG (Amsterdam, NL), and group exhibitions include Open the New page! (2017) at 3331 Arts Chiyoda (Tokyo).

Thom Yorke Compares Google and YouTube to Nazi Germany In New Interview
"They've seized control of [art] – it's like what the Nazis did during the second world war"
Photo by Eliot Lee Hazel
Thom Yorke recently conducted an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. During the chat, the Guardian reports, the Radiohead frontman said YouTube and parent company Google had "seized control" of art, then compared their commercial paradigms to Nazi Germany's history of plundering art. (Yorke's slung some harsh words against fellow tech giant Spotify in the past, as well.)
Asked how musicians can profit from their music, Yorke responded:
I don't have the solution to these problems. I only know that they're making money with the work of loads of artists who don't get any benefit from it. People continue to say that this is an era where music is free, cinema is free. It's not true. The creators of services make money – Google, YouTube. A huge amount of money, by trawling, like in the sea – they take everything there is. 'Oh, sorry, was that yours? Now it's ours. No, no, we're joking – it's still yours'. They've seized control of it – it's like what the Nazis did during the second world war. Actually, it's like what everyone was doing during the war, even the English – stealing the art of other countries. What difference is there?
Yorke added that he uses Boomkat to discover music, and has installed an app to block YouTube ads. "The funny thing is that YouTube has said 'that's not fair' [to AdBlocker]," he said. "You know? They say it's not fair – the people who put adverts in front of any piece of content, making a load of money, while artists don't get paid or are paid laughable amounts – and that seems fine to them. But if [YouTube] don't get a profit out of it, it's not fair."

In Their Words ...........
The Murrayshall Estate is home to both the Murrayshall and Lynedoch Golf Courses. Two prestigious but very different eighteen hole courses, they provide a hugely enjoyable challenge for guests and visiting golfers.
With a magnificent blank canvas of beautiful landscape, Hamilton J Stutt had over 350 acres of Perthshire countryside to work with. Laid out before him was a mature woodland estate dating back to the 1600's. He sympathetically used the natural contours and the Murrayshall course meanders through tree lined fairways, undulating parkland and has several natural burns which have been used to protect the large greens. The introduction of the white sand bunkers which are a feature of the Murrayshall course lie in waiting for errant shots.
Hamilton J Stutt returned to design the Lynedoch Course and make great use of the existing natural woodland, utilised the wild flower meadows that nature intended and carved a real wee gem of a course. Both courses are a real contrast to one another – Murrayshall Championship, the wider, longer course requires length and accuracy from the tee shot, this will allow golfers the opportunity to approach greens from the correct angle, widening the view of the pin. Lynedoch however is shorter but no less a challenge, tighter fairways, bracken filled gullies and tall Scots Pine trees narrow the golfer's view of fairways and greens.
Murrayshall also gives golfing guests the chance to visit the famous courses of St Andrews, Kingsbarns, Carnoustie and Gleneagles, which are all within short driving distance of the hotel. With so much on offer to keen golfers of all levels, it's no surprise that Murrayshall House Hotel has become globally renowned as a provider of top quality golfing breaks and golf days out in the historic home of golf.

The Better Half can't let a Saturday morning go by without a waffle from Taste of Belgium, so he'll often trek out long before I get up (I like to sleep in, what can I say?) to grab a waffle and some produce from Findlay Market. One day, he came home and asked, "Do you know what's up with the huge line for bread at Findlay?" Sleepily, I answered, "Oh, that's Blue Oven. It's pretty awesome."
Blue Oven Bakery has some of the best bread in the city. They supply it to several restaurants (A Tavola and Wildflower Cafe, to name a few) and also sell their bread at several farmer's markets, including Findlay Market. There is always a line. To illustrate:
See? Get there early. Even the pig wants in on the action. They sell out often– and quickly– for good reason. We've tried several of their breads that are life-changing.
First, the baguette. The baguette is good– some heft, chewy crust, soft inside. It doesn't go hard nearly as quickly as a baguette in France (for many reasons), which is handy since it's more difficult to get a baguette daily (we bought one on Saturday and will probably eat it for dinner tonight after a bit of toasting).
Apricot, Cranberry and Walnut Bread: I called this one "life changing" on Twitter. Big chunks of apricot, dotted with cranberries and a few walnuts, it's heavy and crusty and amazingly good with just a bit of butter.
Chocolate Cherry Bread: Life changing? Nah. Let's try world-changing. Bitter, dark chocolate and tart cherries combine to make an amazing experience. I could see this paired with port for dessert, or in a killer bread pudding or even french toast. It's absolutely addictive. I think I could get into a fight over this, it's that good.
I've tried the Froccacia (Blue Oven is owned by the Frommeyers, get it?) on a sandwich at Park + Vine and their sourdough English Muffins are the new bread for the burgers at Wildflower Cafe. Head to their website to find out where they're selling their awesome bread, and get in line early so you can get your favorite.

During the campaign of decimation in the year 477.39M to take over the Hive world of Torvalion, the Harbinger Legion used ballistic and chemical missiles to smash the Imperial defences. These strikes would weaken many Imperial Guard defences, but only on the surface, for the Hive world has underground layers of habitation and strategic defences.
Whilst it would only take a simple bombardment of torpedoes or corrosive plague to tear down the Hive, it was however not that simple. The legion needed something from the Hive that was vital for the mission to succeed, something which the Daemon Prince Nal'torvul needed intact.
So, the priests of the dark Mechanicum, notably the ones of the mysterious cult named 'Chimera', devised a plan that would give the Legion a chance to raid the lower layers of the Hive without structural damage. They've created a new form of Helbrutes that combined both the dark arts of the machines, the flesh of the slain and the blessings of Nurgles diseases into a new kind of monster. The 'Flesh Beast'
These monstrosity are both flesh and metal with the essence of life and death in eternal cycles. The beast is neither mortally alive nor dead, it's abnormal state is achieved by means that only the cult of Chimera can master.
Once released from their chains, the Flesh Beasts made short work to tear the walls down, charging into a frenzy as they clear the way down the lower Hive layers.
This heavily kitbashed Helbrute was made using parts from various kits including the Maggoth Lords, Vampire Zombie dragon kit, Garden of Moor gates and Blightking parts. All used to create a very disgusting and very imaginative model.
With such an kitbashed that offers different textures, forms and shapes to test paint, I found this to be a great time to do some creative painting. I've really enjoyed testing out colour schemes for the Daemon Flesh, meat racks and bone.
This is probably one my favourite models from this faction collection, as it just screams (literally) to life with character and imagination. But it's not the only model I've kit bashed for this collection……
Next time…………
Thank you for reading this post. If you have any questions, post a comment below and I'll reply back as soon as I can. Thanks!
Big announcement today on Bjorn the Stormborn! On the 7th, 8th and 9th of December from 3:30pm onwards, some of my acrylic paintings I've done will be printed as cards for the Lincoln Christmas market, at Lincoln College located at Christ's Hospital Terrace. There will be signs for directions on where to go to visit the Colleges pop up shop.
The cards that I'll be producing for sale are works that I've been doing for my course work. These include two versions of the Lord Tennyson painting (one bright and sharp for the Autumn effect, and one for more mature and closer accuracy to the statues look) as well as an early painting of a British solider at the Lincolnshire life museum.
There are other cards on sale too!
All of the cards you see here are priced at 75p each! Great for Xmas cards and any occasion for card giving (probably not Valentine's Day……!).
Also, I have prints for sale if anyone prefers to have one of my paintings on their wall. Currently there are two prints available that will be on sale at the Xmas market. Each print costs around £5 each.
There's a limited run of 9 prints! So it's a first come first served basis for the prints, as well as the cards you see here. Finally, there's one framed A4 print that will be on sale for £10.
I hope you can come and visit, wether from around the UK or abroad if you are visiting Lincoln for the Christmas market.
Have a great day, and I'll be back tomorrow with a new blog post!
[Disclaimer- all sales from the cards that I'll be producing for sale will not be for personal use, but instead be donated to Lincoln College for materials and equipment]
Back again with a new addition to the Harbinger Legion with a Chaos Rhino. A common use of transportation for C. S marines, Havocs and so on, it's a reliable transport for marines, if it's not hungry on the day…….
Originally a Chaos Rhino for my Word Bearers Legion collection, it was re-coated and reassigned for the Harbinger Legion. This decision was made because of my renegade Astartes force growing larger, which needed a transport attachment.
originally part of my Word Bearers Legion, the Chaos Rhino was decent task to paint, but sadly I've ruined the model by adding too much Silver when drybrushing (not pictured)
The tank is an iron carcass of rust, grime and putrid oozes, as well as markings of of the chaos star etched onto the doors of the Rhino.
Next up, a Daemon reaped inside an iron Prison in form of an abomination lumbers with its many legs. A masterpiece by the Dark Mechanici, the Warpsmiths ensure that the Defilers are always primed and ready to cause havoc.
Thank you for reading this post. If you have any questions, post a comment below and I'll reply back as soon as I can. Thanks!

The Chosen are veteran marines who have seen many battlefields and the slaughter that follows from their bolter and blade. Unlike most Chaos Space marines, the Chosen are well versed in combat, arming themselves with rare and finer weaponry than the renegade marines.
For my Chosen, I've kitbashed mine using the Chaos Warriors kit mixed with spare parts from various Chaos Space marine kits. I wanted the unit to look like a renegade elite who have crudely modified armour, after years of disrepair and neglect for maintenance. The unit is devoted to Nurgle, so I've made sure to paint the Chosen with plenty of rust, oozes and sickly colours.
First three Chosen, armed with a Plasma gun, blade and bolter pistol and gun.
Second set of three are armed with Meltagun, Boltpistol, Icon bearer and Boltgun.
The unit champion is armed with a Power fist and Plasma pistol.
This unit however is not quite done yet, as I'll need three more Chosen models in order to have a full strength unit. I'm currently trying to build three more Chosen, but spare similar Chaos Space marine parts are scarce.
Next up, I'll be showing my re-painted Rhino, that will be attached to my Chosen unit. Once a *Word Bearer Rhino, now it's filth encrusted with rust and grime (*long time readers may remember my Word Bearers Rhino a couple of months ago).
Thank you for reading this post, and I hope you have enjoyed it as much as the AoS Faction Collection. If you have any questions, post a comment below and I'll reply back as soon as I can. Thanks!
Rarely is it seen for a Chaos Lord to be at the forefront of battle shrouded around by his elite guards, the Chaos Terminators. Ancient armour worn by those who have proven their loyalty and skill to their master on the battlefield, these veterans are experienced with both might and destruction from most offensive attacks.
These were a long time coming, after using a plastic tub full of dettel to strip the paint off the models for a week (this was done all the way back in the summer!). After eight years of neglect in storage, it was finally time to get this unit painted to fit with the rest of my collection.
It's a relief now that the unit can finally be displayed with a fresh coat of paint. Although the ramifications of my amateur days still linger on to the models, the shoulder pads are glued the wrong sides and some of the details are still covered.
Next up, elite renegade veterans known as Chosen, join the Harbinger Legion on their endless reaping of Imperium controlled planets. Clad in various parts of salvaged armour taken from their hated brethren, the Chosen are favoured by the Chaos Lord Axxoin when they join him on his naval hunts.
Thank you for reading this post. If you have any questions, post a comment below and I'll reply back as soon as I can. Thanks!

Severely, I prefer easy kiddy varieties of games than these warcraft difficult types. So in this hub, I compiled all of the games I often play and they're all from are the perfect games of all time, the top ten best games from PopCap. No Android games spherical-up is complete with no proper racer, and Asphalt 8 is without doubt one of the higher known titles. You can drive some significantly horny cars round forty tracks masking every part from the Nevada Desert to Tokyo, and pull off some amazing stunts from barrel rolls to 360-diploma jumps. Civilization is a sport like Spore that can appeal to fans of the civilization stage in Spore. The Civilization sequence has many core games and expansions to expertise so there may be plenty of gameplay when you go along with this Spore various.
Vector – Freerunning/Parkour recreation that has impressive visuals and spot-on gameplay. This sport makes you keep coming again to unlock all of the stunts. Every degree consists of an unimaginable form, with a red block and a pink gap. The goal is to maneuver the block around the form and get it into the hole, working with the odd twists in perspective. There aren't any penalties, no timers and the result is a soothing series of puzzles.
The sport originally launched with three increasingly tough worlds but now also consists of multiplayer (PvP or co-operative) along with more biomes. As a result of the absolute core of Steel Gear Stable 5 – the sneaking, the second-to-second cat-and-mouse sport of evading guards – is just so mechanically dense and polished. The power to bring such classic leisure so easily in the trendy world is amazing and the Windows gadgets are seeing lot of nice improvement. But the want for extra support in the store could be very apparent and we need extra corporations releasing games/apps like these that show the Windows tablets will not be out of the race.
Outlast places you in the sneakers of a reporter who has simply gotten the news that something really fishy is occurring in an asylum. Decided to find out the truth, he grabs his digital camera and automotive and heads out alone. He soon finds himself trapped contained in the walls and must do anything it takes to get on the market while capturing all the things that is occurring in the asylum.
It isn't hotseat if it is splitscreen.. unless the two gamers sit on top of one another. You're using the time period incorrect- it didn't change. It's hotseat or it's plain splitscreen. I've looked at several of your pages in search of reward ideas for my husband. That is the first page that I have to confess I have never heard of any of the games. But they appear to be they'd be right up his alley (dragons and all). Thanks for placing collectively all these great lists.
