The first B-town award function of the season the "17th Star Screen Awards" was quite a happening event. The King Khan anchored a big chunk of the show and did it pretty well . His witty remarks and jokes amused the audience but when he lit up a cigarette inside the auditorium the sight was not at all amusing.
He was spotted smoking sitting in the front row not caring at all for all those sitting nearby and subjected to passive smoking. Isn't he acting a little "Godly" recently? if you are clueless about the adjective "Godly" you should watch his recent conversation with Karan Johar at Koffee With Karan.
However he did manage to win an award for the Best Actor Popular Choice (male) for his performance in My Name is Khan. Katrina Kaif was awarded the Best Actor Popular Choice (Female) for her remarkable role in Rajneeti.
Another surprise element of the evening was "Udaan" winning the award for the Best Film and Vikramaditya Motwane was awarded the Best Director award. Inspite of the fact that Udaan did not feature any major star or it wasn't a big budget film, still managed to grab four awards surely deserves a lot of kudos. Along with Udaan two other small budget films made it big, Ishqiya and Band Baaja Baraat won four awards each.
Dabangg as expected won six awards, two of those six went to Salman Khan ( Best Actor) and Sonakshi Sinha (Promising New Comer).
Vidya Balan (Best Actress) and Arshad Warsi ( Best Supporting Actor) bagged the awards for their performances in Ishqiya.
The entertainment quotient was pretty high that evening, the live performances by Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai, Shahid Kapoor Katrina Kaif and Bipasha basu enthralled the audience.
Check out the List of winners:
Best Actor: Salman Khan for Dabangg
Best Actress: Vidya Balan for Ishqiya
Best Film: Udaan
Best Director: Vikramaditya Motwane
Most Promising Newcomer (Male): Ranveer Singh (Band Baaja Baaraat)
Most Promising Newcomer (Female): Sonakshi Sinha (Dabangg)
Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Male): Arshad Warsi (Ishqiya)
Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Female): Shernaz Patel (Guzaarish)
Best Actor in a Negative Role (Male/Female): Ronit Roy (Udaan)

Gotham Gazette's NYC Books: Library Pick
Classics, favorites, and old stand-bys
Sort books by: Author |
Title |
Publisher |
by Gore Vidal(Vintage Books, 2000. 384 pp.)
Through the eyes of Schuyler, Vidal takes the reader through the political high society of the day, painting a picture of an elite, and indeed a society, so devoted to the capture of wealth that principles have been wantonly (indeed, proudly) discarded. The culmination is the corrupt election of 1876, the result of which is disputed until March 1877 (ring any bells?).
Democracy is seen not to be working for the benefit of all - Vidal paints a frightening picture of the New York underworld, replete with beggars, violence and prostitution, the latter of which the hypocritical male upper classes frequent regularly.(MR G RODGERS from amazon.com)
Celluloid Skyline: New York and The Movies
by James Sanders(Knopf, . 498 pp. $45 )
"New York and the movies seem made for each other," James Sanders writes in Celluloid Skyline. "Like New York, film is big. Like New York, film is larger than life. And like New York, it embodies -- even defines -- qualities of romance, glamour, danger, adventure."
Colossus Of New York: A City In 13 Parts
by Colson Whitehead(Doubleday, 2003. 176 pp. $19.95 )
In a form that has been compared to the EB White classic Here Is New York, Colossus of New York sets out to capture the city's essence in a short, non-narrative essay.
by Salman Rushdie(Modern Library, 2001.)
An immigrant's tale, Fury is set in New York City, depicting the culture of wealth, ambition and promise, as well as of rage and violence, that the 'Golden Age' of the late 1990s brought to the city.
Grand Central Winter
by Lee Stringer(Simon & Schuster, . 256 pp. $12.95 )
Lee Stringer was introduced to crack cocaine by a casual acquaintance late one night in 1984. Late on another night nine months later, he was awoken by a housing marshal and evicted from his Upper East Side apartment; he hadn't paid rent for over three months. For years following his eviction, Stringer lived on the streets of New York City.
by Colson Whitehead(Knopf Publishing Group, 2000. 272 pp. $12.95 )
Without mentioning the city's name, Colson Whitehead's novel the Intuitionist describes New York through some of its finer attributes � corrupt unions, inefficient bureaucracy, racial tension, and elevator crashes.
Low Life: Lures and Snares of Old New York
by Luc Sante(Vintage Books, 1991.)
Anecdotal history of the New York underworld from around 1840 to 1919. Runs the gamut from youth gangs to prostitutes to corrupt political bosses.
Motherless Brooklyn
by Jonathan Lethem(Vintage, October 2000.)
From America's most inventive novelist, Jonathan Lethem, comes this compelling and compulsive riff on the classic detective novel. Lionel Essrog is Brooklyn's very own self-appointed Human Freakshow, an orphan whose Tourettic impulses drive him to bark, count, and rip apart our language in startling and original ways. Together with three veterans of the St. Vincent's Home for Boys, he works for small-time mobster Frank Minna's limo service cum detective agency. Life without Frank Minna, the charismatic King of Brooklyn, would be unimaginable, so who cares if the tasks he sets them are, well, not exactly legal. But when Frank is fatally stabbed, one of Lionel's colleagues lands in jail, the other two vie for his position, and the victim's widow skips town. Lionel's world is suddenly topsy-turvy, and this outcast who has trouble even conversing attempts to untangle the threads of the case while trying to keep the words straight in his head. Motherless Brooklyn is a brilliantly original homage to the classic detective novel by one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation.
New York Glory: Religions In the City
by Tony Carnes, Anna Karpathakis (Editors)(New York University Press, 20000801. 400 pp. $20 )
A collection of two dozen essays, bringing together some of the most significant research on religion in the city. The contributors represent various academic and advocacy projects like the City University of New York's analysis of religion among Latinos, the American Jewish Committee, Queens College's Asian religion studies, and the Religion and Immigrant Incorporation project at New School University.
The Bridge
by Gay Talese(Walker and Company, 2003. 176 pp.)
Widely praised after its 1964 release, The Bridge, about the construction of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, fell out of print for more than 20 years. In 2003, it was republished as a paperback, with a new afterword by Talese. For the lengthy afterword, Talese attempted to contact and revisit many of the people he met in the sixties.

The bloodletting in the newsroom at The Enquirer is over, at least for now.
Editor Carolyn Washburn sent an email to the newspaper's editorial staff this morning, announcing the names of 12 people who have decided to accept a voluntary "early retirement" severance deal offered by The Enquirer's parent firm, The Gannett Co.
CityBeat already has reported that political columnist Howard Wilkinson, longtime photographer Michael Keating and Editorial Page Editor Ray Cooklis were among those departing the media company.
Other editorial staffers who are taking the buyout are business reporter Mike Boyer; Features Editor Dave Caudill; news reporter Steve Kemme; Copy Desk Chief Sue Lancaster; Production Manager Greg Noble; Butler/Warren Editor Jim Rohrer; sports copy editor Bill Thompson; Copy Editor Pat Tolzmann; and Copy Editor Tim Vonderbrink.
They join Assistant Managing Editor/Sports Barry Forbis and Deputy Sports Editor Rory Glynn, who announced their resignations in March.
In her email, Washburn wrote that the company will throw a party in its conference room for the departing staffers on April 12.
As one ex-Enquirer reporter said when hearing about the plans, "Some sendoff for those leaving. Washburn is throwing them a 'proper party,' whatever that is, for them on the 20th floor, no doubt in the sterile training room where staffers learn about inane new corporate initiatives. A 'proper party' for the loss of 350-plus years of experience and institutional knowledge would be an employee tavern of choice with an open bar, but what would Washburn know?"
Gannett announced the buyout offer Feb. 9 and gave employees 45 days to decide whether to apply for the deal.
At the close of the offer period, editors reviewed applications and made final decisions; some people who apply for the deal potentially could've been turned down if their position is deemed essential to the newspaper's operation.
Under the deal, newspaper employees who are age 56 or older and have at least 20 years of service with Gannett as of March 31 are eligible. Although executives said 785 employees meet the criteria, the deal only is being offered to 665 employees "due to ongoing operational needs at the company."
As part of reductions mandated by Gannett, The Enquirer has laid off about 150 workers during the past two years. Also, employees have had to take five unpaid furloughs during the past three years.
Gannett recently gave Craig Dubow, its CEO who allegedly left the company due to health reasons, a $37.1 million compensation package. The Columbia Journalism Review examined what Gannett could've bought with that money instead, including paying for the starting salaries of 1,474 staffers at The Indianapolis Star or 310,720 annual subscriptions to The Tallahassee Democrat's website.
Here is the full text of Washburn's email:
From: Washburn, Carolyn
Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2012 8:39 AM
To: CIN-News Users; ohiodaily
Subject: saying thank you to our new retirees
It's official now. In the next couple of weeks we will say thank you and best wishes to these colleagues who have decided to take the company's early retirement offer. The complete group is, in no particular order:
Dave Caudill, Greg Noble, Jim Rohrer, Sue Lancaster, Pat Tolzmann, Tim Vonderbrink, Bill Thompson, Michael Keating, Mike Boyer, Steve Kemme, Howard Wilkinson, Ray Cooklis
Ray will be here until April 27. Greg's last day in the office was a week or so ago, before a furlough and vacation. Everyone else will have their last day next Thursday, April 12.
We will have a proper party in the 20th floor conference room on April 12 at 4pm.
I'll meet with some small groups in the next few days and we'll have a full staff meeting the week of April 16 to talk about what's next, now that we are confirmed on who chose to retire. There is a plan. :)
We will be very sad to say goodbye. But I am happy for these folks who decided this was the right thing for them.
Thanks again to Dave, Greg, JR, Sue, Pat, Tim, Bill, Michael, Mike, Steve, Howard and Ray.
It's a tumultuous time in Greater Cincinnati's media scene. In addition to The Enquirer's ongoing staff shakeups, troubles abound at Clear Channel Communications and at the firm that owns Cincinnati Magazine.
This all occurs just a month after the recent sale of CityBeat to Nashville-based SouthComm, Inc.
Clear Channel, which owns the most radio stations in the local market, laid off several employees last week.
Among the people who were let go were Tony Bender, the program director for WKRC (550 AM) and WCKY (1530 AM); Sherry Rowland, promotions director for WLW (700 AM); Mark Bianchi, digital sales manager; and traffic reporter Brian Pitts. The staffers reportedly were laid off due to budget cuts.
Based in San Antonio, Texas, Clear Channel owns 850 radio stations across the United States, making it the nation's largest radio station group owner both by stations and revenue. Locally, the media giant owns the previously mentioned WKRC, WCKY and WLW, along with WEBN (102.7 FM), WKFS (107.1 FM) and WSAI (1360 AM).
If you're in the media and need a job, you might want to consider applying to become The Enquirer's new sports editor. The last editor, Barry Forbis, recently quit to work for Fox Sports in Los Angeles. Here are the requirements for the job.
Meanwhile, Emmis Communications Corp. — which owns Cincinnati Magazine — is struggling to keep its stock listed on the NASDAQ exchange while the firm's owner is being roundly criticized for asking an Indiana court to approve a plan to vote so-called "dead shares" of the company.
Indianapolis-based Emmis is seeking to vote the shares of preferred stock that the company had bought from shareholders at a sizeable discount. Typically, such shares are considered "extinguished" and no longer viable under tax and accounting rules. But Emmis executives said the shares weren't actually bought, they merely were part of a "total return swap."
If a judge agrees, Emmis will be able to vote those shares and convert its remaining preferred stock into common stock, so it doesn't have to ante up the cash for unpaid dividends.
To deal with its financial problems, Emmis has borrowed a total of $31.9 million from controversial businessman Sam Zell, chairman of Equity Group Investments, to help keep the firm afloat.
Besides Cincinnati Magazine, Emmis owns similar publications in Atlanta, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Austin, Texas and elsewhere. Also, it owns radio stations in New York, Los Angeles, St. Louis and Terre Haute, Ind., as well as in Bulgaria and Slovakia.
The Enquirer's sole remaining editorial writer is among the employees who will be departing the newspaper as part of a round of "early retirement" buyouts.
Executives accepted the buyout application submitted by Ray Cooklis, the newspaper's editorial page editor, multiple sources have confirmed. Cooklis assumed control of The Enquirer's Op/Ed pages in July 2009 when his predecessor, David Wells, was laid off.
Cooklis, who also is a classically trained pianist and previously served as a music critic, didn't respond to an email this morning seeking comment.
In recent months, the daily newspaper has been criticized in journalism circles and on some blogs for only publishing one original, locally produced editorial a week, so it's unclear what impact Cooklis' departure will have.
Sources say others who are leaving The Enquirer include Features Editor Dave Caudill; photographer Glenn Hartong; reporter Steve Kemme, who covers eastern Hamilton County; Copy Desk Chief Sue Lancaster; Bill Thompson, a sports copy editor and occasional music critic; and Copy Editor Tim Vondebrink.
CityBeat confirmed Tuesday that political columnist Howard Wilkinson and longtime photographer Michael Keating also were leaving the newspaper.
The Gannett Co., The Enquirer's corporate owner, announced the buyout offer Feb. 9 and gave employees 45 days to decide whether to apply for the deal.
Under the deal, newspaper employees who are age 56 or older and have at least 20 years of service with Gannett as of March 31 are eligible. The Enquirer's goal is to eliminate 26 positions through the buyouts, sources said.
As part of reductions mandated by Gannett, The Enquirer has laid off about 150 workers during the past two years. Also, employees have had to take five unpaid furloughs during the past three years.
Of the departures announced so far, Cooklis' resignation could have the most immediate impact for readers.
Some progressive voices in Cincinnati dislike Cooklis because he is ardently right-wing in his opinions; they believe he too frequently blasted Democratic politicians, while turning a blind eye to excesses by their Republican counterparts and local corporations. Further, Cooklis lacked the courage to criticize some of the people and institutions that are among The Enquirer's many sacred cows, they added.
Still, Cooklis' departure is a bad omen for local news, with some media observers worried that it means The Enquirer has abandoned its First Amendment duty to hold powerful people accountable for their deeds.
Virginia-based Gannett also owns USA Today, more than 100 newspapers nationwide and 23 TV stations.
(**UPDATE: Glenn Hartong is not taking the buyout. Despite some sources at The Enquirer saying that he was, Hartong is only 51 years old and, thus, ineligible.)
Political columnist Howard Wilkinson and longtime photographer Michael Keating are among the 26 employees who are leaving The Enquirer as part of a buyout deal.
This week was the deadline for editors at the newspaper to decide whether to accept voluntary "early retirement" buyouts from employees. Although The Enquirer hasn't released any details, current and former co-workers of Wilkinson and Keating have begun discussing their departures and posting their well wishes on social media sites.
So far, CityBeat's emails sent this morning seeking comment haven't been returned.
Gregory Korte, an ex-City Hall reporter at The Enquirer who now works at USA Today, posted, "I grew up reading Howard Wilkinson's politics column in the Cincinnati Enquirer. It's one of the reasons I got into this business, and I was delighted to work and learn alongside him for so long. And Michael E. Keating? The best political photographer I've ever worked with — he could turn a podium shot into pure art. A real reporter's photographer. Now they're both taking a buyout and retiring. The Enquirer has done just fine without me, but I can't imagine it without these two."
Another former Enquirer reporter, Ben Fischer, posted, "Howard Wilkinson you're one of the all-time greats. And that goes for baseball fandom, general good guys AND political reporters. Everybody's going to miss your prose and insights this election season."
Wilkinson confirmed the news on Facebook, adding, "Thanks to one an all. It's been a great ride. But you haven't heard the last from me ... or Michael either... Michael and I were a team; and got to see and do some amazing things over the years. I will always be grateful for that."
The Gannett Co., The Enquirer's corporate owner, announced the buyout offer Feb. 9 and gave employees 45 days to decide whether to apply for the deal.
At the close of the offer period, editors reviewed applications and made final decisions; some people who apply for the deal potentially could've been turned down if their position is deemed essential to the newspaper's operation.
Under the deal, newspaper employees who are age 56 or older and have at least 20 years of service with Gannett as of March 31 are eligible. Although executives said 785 employees meet the criteria, the deal only is being offered to 665 employees "due to ongoing operational needs at the company."
Sources at The Enquirer say executives are looking to shed 26 employees at Cincinnati's only remaining daily newspaper. It is believed that 19 of the positions will come from the newsroom, while six people will be affected in the advertising department, and one person in the online/digital content department.
As part of reductions mandated by Gannett, The Enquirer has laid off about 150 workers during the past two years. Also, employees have had to take five unpaid furloughs during the past three years.
The Enquirer's top two sports editors are resigning from the newspaper.
Assistant Managing Editor/Sports Barry Forbis and Deputy Sports Editor Rory Glynn announced their resignations last week in separate emails to fellow staffers.
Forbis, whose resignation becomes effective April 4, is leaving to join Fox Sports as a deputy managing editor in Los Angeles.
In his email, Forbis wrote, "I'll be working with Jason Whitlock, Jen Engel, Bill Reiter, Greg Couch, Reid Forgrave, Mark Kriegel and A.J. Perez, not to mention a bunch of old friends. It's a talented group, the job pays pretty well, and, uh, it's L.A., so I'd have to consider it even if everything were perfect here. It's not, of course, but you know as well as I do the challenges we have faced and the challenges you will continue to face."
Forbis also thanked his co-workers, adding, "I want you to know how privileged I feel to have worked with you. I've worked with a lot of great sports departments. I don't know of any who did more with less. You guys are better at just plain getting it done than any group I've worked with."
Glynn announced his departure in an email to the sports staff, which was then forwarded by another person to the entire news staff. The resignation apparently becomes effective Friday.
In his email, Glynn wrote, "Last week, I told Barry … that I've decided to resign at the end of the month. Barry knows this is something I've been wrestling with for months now; bless his persuasiveness, he's talked me out of it on a couple of occasions. But it's time."
Glynn added, "You all don't need me to go on about the challenges we all face. I'll just say the ever-growing demands of this job and the demands of raising four kids are difficult to balance, and if sometimes I've focused too much on the first, now I choose to focus on the second."
Online Sports Content Manager Nick Hurm will replace the editors on a temporary basis.
As part of reductions mandated by its owner, The Gannett Co., The Enquirer has laid off about 150 workers during the past two years. Also, employees have had to take five unpaid furloughs during the past three years.
A local conservative activist has found another job in politics.
Brad Beckett recently was appointed as Heritage Action for America's first regional coordinator for the Cincinnati area. Beckett served for years as chief of staff for City Councilman Chris Monzel, until Monzel left that group in January 2011 to become a Hamilton County commissioner.
In his new role, Beckett will be responsible for growing Heritage Action's grassroots infrastructure in Cincinnati and nearby areas in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
"Brad brings a wealth of experience in and knowledge of Cincinnati politics," said Michael Needham, Heritage Action's CEO, in a prepared statement.
"His knowledge of Cincinnati and the surrounding region will be essential to ensuring that the American people's voices cut through the big-government noise in Washington as we fight to save the America dream," Needham added.
Prior to his latest gig, Beckett almost had the top job in Butler County government. When Monzel was elected to the Hamilton County commission, Beckett discreetly lined up another job as Butler County administrator. Two commissioners there hatched the plan privately but one abruptly changed his mind a day before Beckett's employment was to have begun, leaving him without a job.
More recently Beckett has been working at the Apple Store in Kenwood Towne Center and launched The Political Daily Download, a right-leaning blog. Also, he assisted in Tom Brinkman's unsuccessful campaign to win the Republican nomination to run for the Ohio House 27th District seat.
Founded in 2010, Heritage Action for America is the sister organization to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. The newer group's motto is "we hold Congress accountable to conservative principles," and it was formed mostly because the foundation isn't allowed to back pieces of legislation due to its tax-exempt status.
One of Heritage Action's first projects was to organize opposition to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the health-care reform law pushed by President Obama.
Among Heritage Foundation's primary donors is Charles Koch, one half of the infamous Koch Brothers duo. They're the industrialists who helped form the Tea Party movement, which advocates for corporate interests that benefit the brothers and harm the working class.
Also, the Kochs led the push to abolish collective bargaining rights for public-sector labor unions in Ohio, Wisconsin and elsewhere.

A $izzling sum for Scoop bldg.
- Last Updated: 11:53 PM, November 13, 2012
- Posted: 11:48 PM, November 13, 2012
Here is the scoop on Scoop.
The prime Meatpacking District building at 430 W. 14th St., where Scoop has a 14,000-square-foot shop, has been corralled by Joe Sitt of Thor Equities for close to $100 million, according to sources.
The 61,321-square-foot red brick loft building is on a key block in the sizzling Meatpacking District. As we told you in February, Yucaipa's Ron Burkle, who paid just $65 million for it late last year, hired Eastdil Secured's team of Douglas Harmon, Adam Spies and Kevin Donner to flip it with that price in mind.
Along with nearby Soho House, Burkle owns a majority stake in trendy retailer Scoop and can help unlock the value of that under-market lease.
It's likely that retail-focused Sitt has plans to move or buy out some of the tenants, which include Edris hair salon, designers Rena Lange and Alexander McQueen, and the Hogs N' Heifers bar.
Last week, Larry Gluck of Stellar Management said he and Rockpoint are giving Harmon and Spies the assignment to sell the Milk Studio Building at nearby 450 W. 15th St. with an expectation of raking in a cool $300 million.
Across from Hogs N' Heifers, Harmon and his team are working on bringing together the Romanoff family, which own the vacant lot at 860 Washington St., with a recapitalizing and development partner, sources said.
The site between the Standard Hotel and Diane von Furstenberg can host a 125,000-square-foot boutique office and retail building. Stay tuned to see who the Romanoffs' "marry."
No one returned requests for comments prior to press time.
Uptown, the City University of New York is finally in contract to sell 20 East End Ave. at 80th Street to Corigin for what market sources say is "substantially" more than $60 million.
According to sourcs, broker Ira Schuman of Studley juggled a field of wishful contestants including Harry Macklowe, the Wilfs, Brodsky and JD Carlyle. The property will likely be redeveloped into a luxury condo.
Corigin, headed by Chairman and CEO Ryan Freeman and President Ed Baquero, recently redeveloped the Sugar Lofts at 79 Laight St. and The Element at 559 W. 59th St.
The 1939 former Dept. of Health facility is now an administrative building. Funds from the sale will go toward CUNY's condo/lease at the Durst's 205 E. 42nd St. and equipment for its science facilities, said a spokesman, who declined to discuss pricing.
Schuman and Baquero did not respond to requests for comment.
Zeckendorf Development and Eyal Ofer's Global Holdings break ground this morning on the construction of an 87-unit luxury condominium at 50 United Nations Plaza. The 44-story, 570-foot tall building is opposite the United Nations complex along First Avenue and E. 46th Street just south of Trump World Tower.

Ohwait, that was her name
I find it interesting that she seemed to be a former 12th Squad Captain too with her comment on how it's easier to break in compared to her days. Which means that we have two woman who were on 12th Squad and are now Royal Guards.
I thought they knew about the 5 war potentials when they mentioned the 5 targets. But Kenpachi wasn't there.
Love that interaction between the long-haired man and Soi Fon btw.
Aaaaand Unohanaaaaaaaa :3 Finally she'll join the fight.

DEAR ABBY Jan. 24: Unmarried couple don't see eye to eye on living together
DEAR ABBY: I am a woman in my early 20s and in my first serious relationship. I adore "Paul." We have a wonderful, respectful relationship. One day I hope we'll be married.
I feel strongly that we should not live together before we are married. He disagrees. He feels couples need to know each other's habits fully before they make a lifelong commitment.
I understand the financial and emotional convenience of sharing a home with your loved one. However, I believe that marriage changes a living dynamic whether you have lived together or not. Conflicts that arise post-marriage can be faced with a greater sense of resolve, knowing that a formal commitment has been made.
Abby, what's your take on this? Should couples live together before marriage? I don't want to be stubborn and say I'll never live with anyone before getting married, because I know it's a very common thing to do. What can I say to Paul and friends who disagree with me to defend my "old-fashioned" logic? — TRADITIONALIST IN CHICAGO
DEAR TRADITIONALIST: I don't think you should argue with them on the subject at all. Just say that although many couples live together today without marriage, YOU aren't comfortable with it. You are not the only person who feels this way. Many people with strong religious convictions feel the way you do about it. In my opinion, this is something that couples should work out between themselves.
DEAR ABBY: My next-door neighbor "Rod" and I work at the same place, about 10 miles from our homes. He has a medical condition that prevents him from driving. Until recently, he took the bus, but that route was stopped, so he now relies on his wife for transportation every day. She works and also takes care of their three kids.
Last summer, I drove Rod for a while, but he was a terrible carpool companion. He was perpetually late, and I'd have to wait for him in the morning and after work. He would brag nonstop about how good he is at his job, and then want to stand around in our driveway chatting instead of just going inside.
He never offered to pay for gas or compensate me in any way, and seemed unable to find other arrangements when I had to work late or run errands after work, which made me feel trapped in his schedule. I finally got tired of the hassle and made an excuse to stop driving him.
There is no real reason I can't take him now except that he was such a pain in the you-know-what that I don't want to. But I feel guilty when I see his wife loading up all their kids to make the drive.
What's the right thing to do? We may be neighbors for a very long time. — KIND COMMUTER IN MADISON, WIS. Continued...
DEAR KIND COMMUTER: I recognize your generosity in extending yourself to your co-worker, who apparently never learned the basics of carpool etiquette. Because you got nothing positive out of driving him, I do not recommend you start again. However, if you would like to do his wife a favor, see if there are transportation services for people with disabilities in your city, and if there are, give that information to her.

In the new rlease (its on the release page) - There is no Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll - this comes from the toolkit sample site.. I copied all the preview stuff etc et al....to the appropiate
Is this because there is a new core ajax release that is corresponding on this and I am just to download trigger happy?

Same problem here.
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies

I hope I can offer some insight with the the experiences I have had.
I downloaded Ajax Beta 2 and installed it onto my Vista RC2 machine at home. Then downloaded the new Control Toolkit and everything was working great.
So I installed Beta 2 onto my web server (Windows Server 2003), uploaded the new Toolkit dll and revised web.config and discovered exactly the same problem as you guys are mentioning.
So I had a look at the contents of the folder at C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\v1.0.61025 on my local machine and did indeed find the file "Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll"
Then I took a look at the same folder on my server and the file was missing (as was the entry in ther GAC).
So I uninstalled AJAX Beta 2 from both machines and tried again..
And again "Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll" was installed OK on my local machine but not on my server.
So I did it again just to make sure with the same result.
"Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll" is part of the Ajax Beta 2 installation package but will not install on some machines.
So I've gone back to Beta 1
Nov 07, 2006 02:05 PM|LINK
Hi, Same issue on XP! After two hours trying to get my projects converted I'm dropping back a version too.
Nov 07, 2006 02:13 PM|LINK
Nov 07, 2006 04:37 PM|LINK
Hi guys - yeah the problem you're having is because you installed on a machine w/o VS. All of our machines have VS, so we didn't catch this problem. On a machine w/ VS, Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll gets dropped.
Probably the best workaround for this is to go get that file from a machine with VS and either install it (gacutil -f Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll) or try dropping it into the bin directory, which I believe should also work but I haven't tried it.
I've been talking with the AJAX team about this, so we're on top of it. Sorry for the confusion.
Nov 07, 2006 04:49 PM|LINK
hi there.. maybe a stupid question.. but by VS you mean???
and I have the only installation here.. is there any other way to get that file???
Nov 07, 2006 04:49 PM|LINK
Well All my systems have VS Team Studio on it.... as well as VS .(Visual Studio)..the issue is that there is a new dll... part of the ajax Beta 2 ..
Its located in: \Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\v1.0.61025
Drag and drop it into your bin as it does not get GACed...the core does but apparently not the design dll...
Hope that solves the issue for others reading this and thanks for the feedback Sburke...
Also note:
Problem: New Beta 2 as did Beta MSI detects the other version and states -
"Goto Control Panel - Add Remove Programs - and remove previous version".
Guess what? There is no entry in the Add and Remove programs listing beyond the CTP. Better have saved the previous bits - as you have to re-run the installer for Beta 1 to have the option to uninstall. However, this may be a quirk because I use Team
Studio? I doubt that one...
Those will be the two biggest issues as far as installing and getting around things to get to the breaking changes for the all around Beta 2 bits for the core, ctp and toolkit
see this post as well http://forums.asp.net/thread/1455784.aspx
Nov 07, 2006 05:23 PM|LINK
ok.. my fault.. I didn't have the beta 2 installed...
I install it.. have the same problem...
I try to install it using: gacutil -f Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll (better use the /i option [;)]) but still not working.. but different error...
"No se puede cargar el tipo 'Microsoft.Web.UI.Design.ExtenderControlDesigner' del ensamblado'Microsoft.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'. "
(translation) cannot find 'Microsoft.Web.UI.Design.ExtenderControlDesigner' from 'Microsoft.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'
any idea?? adding them to the bin directory didn't work either...
Nov 07, 2006 07:13 PM|LINK
wow what a pain in the butt... i upgraded and it broke everything, after trying to fix it for a couple of hours I just reverted back to beta 1.
I think i'll wait awhile longer before upgrading again.... like when i have 8-10 hours to figure out what the hell broke and how to fix it.

Despite incessant warnings and glimpses into what can happen, Americans are still taking a cavalier approach to retirement savings, according to a survey by the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. The average contribution level for workers has increased one percentage point to 7% since 2011, but looking at the bigger picture, Americans are not setting enough aside, waiting too long to begin saving and their targets are too low. In fact, Transamerica found that 47% of respondents chose their retirement goal by guessing. Respondents also indicated that they plan to retire after age 65 or not at all. This indicates workers expecting to be healthy enough stay productive enough to work productively.

Council tax and business rates are the primary 'local taxes' in the UK (although in Northern Ireland the equivalent tax to council tax is called rates). Local council taxes are a devolved matter in Scotland and, although they follow closely the rules as for England and Wales, there are some differences which we have identified in a separate annex.
The money collected through these property taxes goes to local authorities (councils) to pay for local services such as maintaining parks, collecting rubbish, policing and personalised care.
Council tax applies to all properties, including mobile homes, caravans and boats whether they are rented or owned, which are used as the homes of individuals. These properties are described as domestic properties.
Business rates are payable on most premises that are used for business purposes. Premises would include a factory or a shop but can, in some circumstances, include part of your own home if it is used for business purposes.
These property taxes are based upon the value of the properties concerned, rather than the income of the individuals or businesses that occupy them. They bring in significant amounts of money, collecting much more than other taxes such as Corporation Tax, Capital Gains Tax or Inheritance Tax.
Below, we consider council tax and business rates in turn.
The administration and collection of council tax is carried out by local councils. However, the rules are set by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) and the values of properties in England and Wales are determined by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA), and executive agency of HMRC.
Domestic properties are graded in bands from A to H, with A being the lowest band. The valuation system can be confusing because the basis of the values is a historical value and the systems vary between England, Wales and Scotland. Properties in Wales were revalued in 2003 but in England the last valuation was in 1991. The most important thing to understand is in which band your own property is graded. If you do not know, find out by putting your details into the VOA finder.
The council tax year ends on 31 March and every year each council sets a rate of council tax for each property band. Council tax is calculated on a daily basis, so it is important to notify the council if your circumstances change, for example you move home.
You can challenge the band in which your property has been placed by making a 'proposal' to have your band changed. There is more about when this is likely to apply on the VOA website.
Valuations, particularly historical ones, are not set in stone but are an opinion of a valuer. Unless your property is very different or has been changed significantly, one of the most important things to consider is the valuation of your neighbours' properties. If yours is out of line, for no apparent reason, you may have a case to challenge the Valuation Office. You can ring your local VOA to discuss your case. That Office should be objective and, if there has been a mistake, it will be rectified. This can lead to a repayment which may be backdated too.
When making a valuation, the valuer should consider any permanent fixtures designed for a disabled person. Enhancements are disregarded but fixtures that lower the property value should be taken into account in the valuation.
Every council will have a council tax disability reduction scheme. To apply for a reduction under this scheme your home must be the only or main residence of a person with a disability. It must have a room or other feature which is necessary for the needs and well-being of the disabled person, such as a room set aside for dialysis or other treatment or activity.
If your claim is accepted your home will be moved down a band if in England, Wales or Scotland. If your home is already in Band A your council tax bill will be reduced by one sixth. In Northern Ireland the relief is given by reducing the property valuation by 25%.
The local council set a rate of council tax for each band. This fixes the amount you have to pay, subject to a range of:
These exemptions, discounts and rebates are not necessarily applied consistently across councils so it is important to check the rules applied by your own specific council.
You should also note the following changes from April 2013.
Councail Tax Benefit for people who need help paying their council tax has been replaced with local Council Tax Support schemes from 1 April 2013. The funding to local councils from central government is reduced and therefore some may offer less support to certain households under the new scheme than they have done previously.
You will need to check in your local area what this may mean to you and your own support. Most councils will have detailed information on their websites including leaflets, frequently asked questions and legislative papers which explain the changes. You can find out more here.
Please note that in many areas the 'second adult rebate' has been abolished.
Here are some examples of what you may be entitled to.
These normally range from 10% to 50% and may be given if:
People who are not counted for the purposes of discounts
Because some discounts depend upon who else lives with you, it is important that you know who will be ignored when counting who lives in the property:
Rebates bring in another factor and that is the income of the person liable to the council tax or of someone living with them.
Changes have been made from April 2013 which may affect you and your benefits and you will need to check in your local area what this may mean to you and your own support. The newly introduced Council Tax Support differed between councils but broadly speaking if you are already entitled to certain income-related benefits, or if you are a lone parent of a child under 5, then under most scheme you should automatically qualify for some margin of council tax support.
You can check your eligibility by going to the Entitled to calculator.
The most important things are to check your local council scheme to understand what it means to you and remember that council tax is a tax which has to be constantly monitored. Therefore you should report any change of circumstance as quickly as possible to your local council as this can affect it greatly; it may cause you to be under or over paid.
Here is a final reminder of things to keep under review:
The changes to council tax benefit introduced from April 13 from a centrally administered scheme to a local one may not affect you directly as some councils may simply transfer recipients across to the new structure. However you should check the position with your local authority to make sure.
Having established that there is some council tax to pay, who pays it?
There is one council tax bill for each home, whether it is a house, bungalow, flat, maisonette, mobile home or houseboat, and whether it is owned or rented. To work out who has to pay for your property, move down from 1 to 5 below until you reach a description which applies to your property. The first person arrived at to fit the description will be responsible for the bill.
If the property is unoccupied, the owner will be liable.
In some special cases the owner, not the residents, has to pay the council tax. These are:
If you live in a property where the owner is liable, you do not have to pay council tax. But if your landlord is the liable person, you might be asked to pay something towards the bill, depending on the terms of your agreement with your landlord.
If you find it difficult to make payments of your council tax when they are due, do seek help. The consequences of missing payments can be severe. It is very important to contact your council immediately if you are having problems keeping up the payments, or to contact an advice agency such as the local Citizens Advice Bureau. Failure to act can mean that the council might start enforcement action and bailiffs may visit you.
Back to the top
From 1 April 2013 a direct link between local business rates revenue and spend is introduced. This business rates retention scheme will mean that councils will be able to retain a proportion of the income from local businesses to re-invest in the community, thereby promoting local growth.
The Department for Communities and Local Government is responsible for business rates policy in England (or the Welsh Assembly in Wales), with the VOA being responsible for assessing rateable values that are the basis for working out rates bills in England and Wales. Local councils are responsible for giving exemptions and reliefs and collecting rates.
Most premises used for business are subject to business rates. This includes commercial properties such as shops and factories. There are a few exceptions, including:
Charities and not-for-profit organisations can benefit from mandatory and discretionary reliefs. Charities would be automatically entitled to a mandatory 80% reduction on their bill if the property is used wholly or mainly for charitable purposes. The local council can also offer a further discretionary reduction or cancel the bill completely.
Community Amateur Sports Clubs are entitled to the same reductions.
A not-for-profit organisation is not entitled to the mandatory reduction but the local council can offer up to a 100% discretionary reduction.
Business rates are usually payable by the occupiers of business premises, either the owners, if they are the occupiers, or the leaseholders.
If a property is empty, the owner or leaseholder will usually still pay rates after a period of exemption has elapsed. The period of exemption covers the first three months that the property is empty. For warehouses and industrial property, the exemption period is extended to six months. The Government is introducing a new temporary measure for unoccupied new builds from October 2013, the details of which will be captured here nearer the time.
Apart from those properties which are exempt from rates, each non-domestic property has a rateable value. The rateable value broadly represents the annual rent the property could have been let for on the open market on a particular date, on full repairing and insuring terms. For the current rating list, this date was set as 1 April 2008.
Local councils are responsible for calculating actual business rates bills and for collecting rates and will use the rateable value in working out how much you have to pay. The local council will apply a rate in the pound, known as the multiplier, to the rateable value and then deduct any reliefs that are applicable. In England the multiplier is set by the Communities and Local Government and in Wales the multiplier is set by the Welsh Assembly Government.
In both England and Wales small business rates relief can give up to 100% relief from the rates charge and has been extended to 31 March 2014.
In simple terms your rates bill is your rateable value times the multiplier, minus any reliefs.
The business rates multiplier for 2013-14 in England (excluding City of London) is 47.1% (46.2% for small businesses) and 46.4% in Wales.
Scotland and Northern Ireland do things differently.
If you work at, or from, home, the part of the property used for work may be liable to business rates whilst the remainder of the property will continue to be liable to council tax, although an alteration may be made to its banding.
The VOA considers a number of things when deciding whether or not part of your property should be liable to business rates. These include the extent and frequency of the business use of the room, or rooms, and any modifications made to the property to accommodate that use.
Each case is considered on its own merits, and the VOA may visit your property to check the facts before an assessment is made for business rates. Factors they may take into account include:
This list is not conclusive but indicative.
The VOA has helpfully published a number of examples to illustrate how they would approach the 'working from home' question. We have included two contrasting examples below which show the general approach.
An integral garage of an estate house is converted to an office with plastered walls, electric power points, solid front, suspended ceiling and floor screed suitable for carpeting. A separate telephone line has been installed. Access is through the hallway of the house. All toilet facilities are in the main house.
The occupier claims that the room is used by the family in the evenings and occasionally at weekends. During the day the occupier designs computer software. He is employed by a major company to work at home, because of a physical disability. All of the equipment has been provided by his company and is specially adapted for his needs. He visits his former office on an occasional basis.
VOA assessment: The former garage is no longer domestic property. It has been adapted for office use and should be assessed for business rates. The remainder is domestic.
The occupier is employed as a site finder by a major building company, and travels across most of the southern part of the country, using her home as a base, but calling into the company office once a week to pick up new instructions, for meetings, and to leave completed work.
She has a four drawer cabinet in the corner of a dining room, which also functions as an 'office' for the family computer, and there is no dedicated telephone line for business purposes.
The occupier is out visiting sites four days a week and does 'writing up' at home on the dining room table in the evenings and at weekends.
No clients or members of the public visit the house for business purposes.
VOA assessment: The whole of the dwelling is domestic property, and should be banded for council tax.
Further information regarding business rates can be found on GOV.UK.
There are some variations in Scotland for council tax and business rates when compared to England and Wales and these are noted below.
As in England and Wales, the last valuation of domestic property took place in 1991. If you do not know the band or rateable value you can find out by putting your details into the Scottish Assessors finder.
You can also challenge the band in which your property has been placed by making a 'proposal' to have your band changed. Full details are given about this, and how to apply, on the Scottish Assessors website
The Scottish Government is responsible for business rates policy in Scotland and the Scottish Assessors for valuations. As for England and Wales, local councils in Scotland are responsible for calculating actual business rates bills and for collecting rates and will use the rateable value when working out how much you have to pay. The local council will apply a rate in the pound, known as the multiplier, to the rateable value and then deduct any reliefs that are applicable. The Scottish Government will set the multiplier.
The Business Rates calculation
In Scotland a similar small business relief is offered, called Small Business Bonus Scheme.

Climate Change Adaptation
In the context of climate change, adaptation is about doing all we can to prepare ourselves for the impacts of climate change and managing the risks that it presents.
What is the Council doing to adapt to climate change?
Hampshire County Council has been building expertise, developing knowledge, working in partnership and leading projects on Climate Change Adaptation for many years.
Political support
2004: Members' seminar to raise awareness of climate change issues
2004: HCC signed Aalborg Commitments, pan-European sustainability framework
2006: Full Council agreed vision 'Within a decade Hampshire will prosper, without risking our environment' and that climate change posed greatest threat to it.
2007: the Council convened a Commission of Inquiry (CoI) on climate change, chaired by The Leader of the Council. This was tasked with examining how Hampshire can adapt to become more resilient to the impacts of climate change, take advantage of the opportunities there may be, and to identify and prioritise adaptation actions for the County Council. Experts presented evidence to the Commission, the Commission reported findings and recommendations to HCC in November 2007, and a set of actions was agreed and adopted. The CoI continues to convene on a regular basis.
2008: The Hampshire Accord signed by Minister for the SE, Jonathan Shaw, MP formalised cooperation between the Government (DEFRA) and the County Council.
Working with Government
The County Council engage with Government in policy development at a national level to ensure it can easily link to sub-national policy and practical delivery on the ground. Examples include:
- Committee for Climate Change
- Climate Change Risk Assessment (national)
The years of groundwork and capacity building have enabled the County Council, and its district and other public sector partners, to be in a strong position to approach the task of developing an Action Plan in response to climate change.
Climate Change Adaptation Action Plan
Hampshire County Council has taken a lead role in working with other partners to conduct comprehensive risk assessments of services and responsibilities, and to work out how vulnerable these are to the impacts of climate change in the short, medium and long term.
The risk assessments, as well as a number of other sources of information, have been used to develop an Adaptation Action Plan, which includes around 25 strategic actions, and is currently in draft form.
Alexander Ballard Ltd and the County Council worked together to research and develop the Performance Acceleration Climate Tool (PACT) which includes a CD, handbook and toolkit to help assess and improve organisations' capacity to respond to climate change issues. Nine areas or 'pathways' (eg awareness, working together, using expertise) are assessed, to identify which need to be further developed for change to take place. The tool highlights strengths and provides guidance through areas for improvement, and suggests where action needs to be focused to achieve greatest progress.
Risk Assessment Tool
In 2009 the County Council developed a risk assessment spreadsheet tool to help organisations conduct risk assessment of the potential impacts of climate change on their services in the short, medium and long term. The tool has been made available to other organisations via Climate South East, DEFRA and the Local Government Partnership.

April 24, 2012 in Desserts, Uncategorized
My time for blogging is not as much as I would like it to be, but here is a short – but sweet – one: Classic Panna Cotta. It is precisely my kind of food – as I try to have all things in my life – as it is simple, uncomplicated and unpretentious.
Betty Bake's ten things that every blogger should know inspired me so much that I made time this weekend to write what I should have done ages ago: my Ten-point Pledge and commitment to food blogging. You can click on the link or on the tab My Ten-point Pledge above. If you agree and strive to the same values, you are welcome to cut and paste it and make it your own without any credit to me. It is very easy to add a page to your blog. Just go to your dashboard, go to 'Pages' on the left and on its drop down arrow, you will see "Add New". Click on it and a blank post form will open. Write on it just as if it were a post and when you hit the "Publish" tab, it will appear on your blog as a separate page on the menu bar on top. That is how you can tell us about yourself, share your favourite lists, favourite restaurants, ingredients, menus or images or whatever takes your fancy. The nice thing is it does not go away like a post eventually slips into the background. These extra pages stay there until you delete them. But without any further ado, here is my favourite, plain old basic classic Panna Cotta recipe. It is not unique or new and the originator of the panna cotta recipe is not known for sure. But I love the simpleness of this one and I am sure you would too. Enjoy!
Classic Panna Cotta
The nice thing about Panna Cotta is that you can make them a day in advance. Just keep them covered and chilled in the cups and invert only before serving. The terms 'half-and-half refers to half milk, half cream. We use far too little of it in our country but then, we have fat-reduced cream.
- 2 x 10 g sachets of powdered gelatine
- 90 ml cold water
- 1 litre cream (or half-and-half)
- 125 ml castor sugar
- 5 ml vanilla extract (or the seeds of a vanilla bean)
Sprinkle the gelatine over the cold water and set aside to sponge.
Heat the cream and add the sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract or seeds. Add the sponged gelatine to the hot mixture and stir until the gelatine is dissolved.
Spray eight small moulds with plain non-stick spray and then spoon a portion of the panna cotta mixture into each mould. Place in the fridge for at least two hours or until firm.
To serve, invert onto a serving plate, and garnish with whole fresh fruit or berries and its purée or sauce.
Serves 8 small portions (125 ml each)
Chef's hint: I usually remove about 5 ml of gelatine from the quantity given becuase I like a soft texture which I then pour in pretty glasses and chill. These I serve directly from the glasses (with a fruity garnish on top) when set. It saves time and gives a different mood to an old classic.

this light is a solid classic. i think UK are the best dive lights. i had a miniQ40 (non-LED) for ten years, since i was 15. i loved it and used it for everything; camping, fishing, diving, etc. i lost it somehow. i thought it was bright, but this new eLED type is super bright. i also bought the mini pocket lite, and the SL4 sunlight (all UK). i use the SL4 and the miniQ40 between me and a friend when we go night snorkelling. it's plenty bright. i use the miniQ40 for backup when i go night diving. i also use the miniQ40 for day time snorkelling or diving for looking into caves and such. it's small, strong, durable, great shape and design. i don't think i'll ever not have at least a couple of UK lights. P.S. eLED is the way to go! DON'T buy bulb lights. batteries last so much longer (at least ten times longer) and eLEDs don't break. my tech-diver freind said "get eLED-trust me!" he was right. trust me.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Mini Q40 eLED Dive Light:
I have owned this light for 3-4 years and it has always served me well. I use it for spearfishing during the day or at night. I have mounted this small light on the end of my speargun, and even on my hawaiian sling. One of the first times i used it, it was a backup light mounted on my speargun on a night dive where my C8 burned out both bulbs on the same dive! I then realized i did not have much use for the C8 after I saw the capabilities of this light. The beam is a bit too narrow as a primary light though.I always keep the o-ring greased and have never had an issue.

Light is a twist to turn on. I have several of these lights and have found them to be very dependable IF you keep the o-ring well maintained. Nice, compact, bright light with concentrated beam. Excellent product!
