Here we are wrapping up Onyx Path's second year, and boy was it a good one! Just looking at what we did last year kind of makes me giddy. We rumbled and rassled our way towards a lot of the goals we set for ourselves when this all started, and while we might not of gotten there as smoothly as we wanted/expected/estimated, we sure did a lot of stuff in 2013.
So, here are our highlights of the year as compiled by talking with our Onyx Path internal team. (They're not rated in any way as we pretty much feel that they are all parts that needed to happen):
1- Overall, Onyx Path Publishing is starting to be recognized and followed. Folks are really starting to grasp that we a) have the White Wolf license and are putting out new books, b) that we are independent of CCP/WW and are working on different projects besides the WoDs and Exalted, and c) that we aren't functioning like old WW when it comes to business practices and philosophy. There is still a long way to go to establish Onyx as a recognizable "brand name" that folks can follow because they trust us to produce great work, but last year showed great progress. The feedback we've received here, on our other social media sites, and at Gen-Con was great, with as many folks coming to talk to us who already knew who we were as folks wondering what was up with White Wolf.
2- Speaking of Gen-Con, we had a great one. Our Onyx Path panels were very well attended, our creative gang were excellent in answering questions and generally presenting themselves with the right mix of friendliness and professionalism, and we made a cohesive presence in the DTRPG booth with our Onyx signage and hand-outs (and matching shirts). Just like last year, I didn't spend as much time in the booth as I would have liked, but my Industry Guest of Honor panels were pretty interesting (especially the Sexism in Gaming Art one), I got the Onyx Path word out to a totally different audience, and made a few friendly industry contacts. Which is really helpful since my years with WW were pretty insular- there wasn't enough time to get to know folks that I wasn't directly on a project with. And we had two great meals with EX3 KS backers that really, really helped in reminding me (and Holden and John, I think) how great our fans are.
3- We finally got the White Wolf website redirect page up so that WW fans could find us over here at our Onyx Path site. As a surprise bonus (OK, it wasn't that much of a surprise) Onyx also got the very great honor of hosting the forums as well. While the redirect had been planned for a really long time, we had slightly less time to actually do what we had to in order to bulk up our capabilities here for the much higher WW forum traffic. Rose, Ian, and the forum mods did stellar work in bringing that all together, and we now have a single official location for discussing all the many setting and game-lines we are doing- WW, and once-WW, and new ones.
4- We put out some awesome books this year! But that's way too general a statement, even for me, so let's look at it deeper. We continued to bring back the classic WoD lines, with W20 being the big "dog" in May, W20's The Skinner SAS in June, V20's Hunters Hunted 2 in July, and an explosion of W20 books right here at the end of December, with W20 Changing Breeds, W20 Rage Across the World, and the W20 fiction anthology, Rites of Renown: When Will You Rage 2. Classic Mage got a Translation Guide, and the remaining three "promised" Technocracy Convention Books all came out through the year.
For nWoD, the intention this year was to evolve the existing game lines towards the sorts of games we felt they could be after 8ish years of play and experience since their initial releases. With some discussion with CCP, we set upon the idea of providing these changes as "Chronicle Books" designed to allow a coherent backstory, new rules tweaks, and yet still be set up to allow Storytellers to pick and choose the elements that worked for their games. To ease people into those changes, I felt like it would be helpful to release a fiction anthology ahead of the Chronicle Book itself. So, while its fiction landed in 2012, The God Machine Chronicle arrived in April (along with its free rules update, because we're like that), and immediately rocketed up the sales charts. The Strix Chronicle Anthology arrived in July, and Blood and Smoke: The Strix Chronicle came out in December to absolutely stunning response. It is very gratifying to see so many comments and reviews which focus on exactly what we were trying to accomplish. One of the first things I said to Rose was that we needed the book to be fun and engaging to read, or all the setting and rules changes wouldn't seem worth the effort of getting through the text. Boy, did she deliver!
While we were working to rejuvenate the nWoD existing lines, we still were pushing to create the new game lines that folks expect us to deliver each year (while a bit of an internet meme, "WW is Dead!" is actually an issue we at Onyx Path need to fight against, a lot, so new lines are really very important). Mummy: The Curse arose in multiple formats in March in an experiment to see what sort of package might be more fun for fans, and various pieces of the project were also released in April, with its first supplement, Guildhalls of the Deathless, arriving in October. We teased the next new game line in August, with the Demon: The Descent Quickstart, and while Demon KS backers already have their backer PDFs of the game, I'm going to play by the rules and not consider the full game a 2013 release.
Now, those were the big releases- and I mean big, we went from 80 pages being the sweet spot for PDF/PoD releases in 2012, to these 300+ page monsters we've been making this year. We also did a few smaller projects for very specific reasons in 2013. I already mentioned the Demon Quickstart, Skinner SAS, etc, but we also created the Requiem lead-in product Reap the Whirlwind as a traditionally printed product for game stores, the God Machine Condition Cards to both highlight one of the cool new GMC rules tweaks and to experiment with DriveThruCards, and put out one of my favorite projects this year: the April Fool's book Scion: Extras. Which, while funny as hell, also does actually provide new gods to be part of your ongoing pantheons (even if they're not really very good gods). I was really glad that folks like it, took the project in the spirit that it was created in, and that we could do something for our devoted Scion audience in 2013.
5- Kickstarter madness. Well, we did five in 2013. I had planned to do more, but the sheer amount of physical, mental, logistic, and yes, emotional, effort Kickstarters take meant that we could only schedule five. I've talked a lot about KSs in general, and specific facets of the KS experience a lot on these blogs, so rather than list the things we learned here- and we do continue to experiment and evolve how we do these, hopefully getting better with each one- let's keep looking at highlights. According to our Master Statistician, Doctor Ian Watson, we had pledges of over $1,120,000 in 2013, of which half were for the insane and wonderful Deluxe Exalted Third Edition Kickstarter (still the most funded tabletop RPG KS) ending in June. Mummy's ended in January, followed by Hunters Hunted 2 in February, and then W20 Changing Breeds in July, and Demon in December. We shipped the deluxe and prestige editions from the W20, Mummy, and Hunters Hunted 2 Kickstarters this year as well, and delivered the Deluxe W20 Changing Breeds printer files to the printer in December. Besides that big dollar amount, and remember that most of that is eaten up printing and shipping costs for the KS projects and the additional Stretch Goal projects that come out of the KS, Kickstarters have given us a fantastic chance to directly talk with a huge community of backers and fans. For a starting company that has all sorts of confusing legacies to work through, our Kickstarters in 2013 were an amazing chance to explain just what Onyx Path is.
6- Those previous highlights were the stuff that came out, but part of what we accomplished in 2013 was getting ready for greatness in 2014. Our Scion and Trinity Continuum teams took on an amazing challenge of creating a dice-pool system that actually can scale from regular human all the way to gods. And they prepped and started writing non-systems sections, as well. nWoD's Dark Eras is being written, Mage 20th Anniversary was an epic writing journey Mr. Brucato hadn't realized he'd be taking, and Rich Dansky signed on for Wraith 20. And Exalted Third Edition, the single biggest Herculean Labor of them all, was worked on through some of the worst times for the creators of any book I've ever worked on. The writers and artists we have are really hitting on all cylinders now, and our releases in 2013 are only a hint of what we'll be delivering in 2014. I put this as a highlight, and not just a shill for 2014, because Onyx Path's intended method of bringing creators together and letting and encouraging them to experiment and try different solutions to making great games is starting to work really well. We had a slow start, and the idea that we wouldn't release a project until it was as good as we wanted it- no, needed it- to be has caused some upset when we missed expected release dates. But in 2013, I think the quality of the books we put out can stand proudly with our best work at old White Wolf.
7- Internally, we have made significant strides towards tightening up how we do things while still enabling that creative energy I mention above. I have found that it's a delicate balance to achieve the right support of creative endeavors while not becoming so "supportive" that the structure crushes the creative impulse. We still have plenty of work to do here, but this year we made huge strides to creating that supportive infrastructure thanks to the folks that chip in and help behind the scenes. For example, we brought on a half dozen new editors, and instituted putting out PDF files first so that our awesome and nit-picking legion of fans could catch the errors the editors missed on the PDFs before we made physical books. Mirthful Mike Chaney, Rollickin' Rose Bailey, Amiable Ian Watson, and our consultants from over the mountains and through the woods- or at least from DriveThruRPG and Flames Rising, Matt McElroy and Monica Valentinelli, have all been instrumental in pulling Onyx Path together and taking a ton of weight off my ancient shoulders.
8- Onyx Path also went in halfsies with Nocturnal Media to purchase the Scarred Lands IP from CCP. This is very exciting on a lot of levels, not the least of which is getting to play in the Scarred Lands playground I helped create with my oldest friend in the RPG business and the guy that brought me in, WW founder Stewart Wieck. We haven't begun to discuss this in 2013, because just look at all the projects we've already got rolling, but having a well-loved fantasy setting in the company certainly promises some cool projects in the future.
9- We put out some fiction, and have a lot more in store. This is important on several levels including providing folks entertaining ways to enjoy our settings beyond the game books/files, as well as entering the wider fiction marketplaces when we have them sussed out. Meanwhile, to get ready for those fiction marketplaces, in 2013 we started exploring alternative file formats beyond the PDF/PoD combo that we've gotten pretty good at. Mirthful Mike has explored new tricks with PDFs that you'll be seeing more of, and Rose brings a programmer's knowledge to additional formats we could start creating our projects in. There's a spectrum of ways that folks get their entertainment these days, and my intention is that Onyx Path grows to be able to create traditional and deluxe printed books when that makes sense, or our PDF/PoD combination that works so well for tabletop gaming, or to other file formats that are needed to enjoy our projects on pads and other hand-held devices. We took baby steps in 2013, but steps they were and it's something I'm thrilled about.
Now, obviously there were all sorts of challenges and issues that Onyx Path still needs to overcome, but that's the topic for a blog in January as we look forward into 2014. For now, I hope all of you reading this had as much of a fun ride this year as we did- because none of these things listed above are any good without you.
Now, better buckle up for 2014!

A Chicago man took the challenge of a marriage proposal to new heights.
Ryan Thompson, a commercial airline pilot, took his girlfriend Carlie Kennedy for a flight in his single-engine plane over the Windy City where he planned to propose. Unbeknownst to the bride-to-be, Thompson intended on tricking her in the process by making her believing the plane's controls were malfunctioning.
Halfway through the flight, he did just that—and handed over the emergency checklist for her to read.
Though visibly scared, Carlie continues to read the "ring engagement procedure." Written on the second page of the checklist was "Will you marry me?"
It took a few seconds for Carlie to realize it was all a hoax and the plane was not going to crash. Luckily for the pilot, she said yes.
The couple's video which Thompson recorded with a hidden camera in the console, has gotten thousands of hits on YouTube.

Who lies more: Men or women?
Plus, the top five lies told by both sexes.
Whether it's a little white lie or lying by omission, we're all guilty of stretching the truth. But according to a study, men are more likely to lie than women—kind of. While men are more likely to lie overall, women are more likely to lie in specific situations.
Women tell an average of 728 lies per year, or approximately two lies a day. Men, on the other hand, tell an average of 1,092 lies a year, or three per day.
More on MSN Living: Most common holiday arguments—and how to avoid them
Commissioned by the Science Museum of central London and carried out by OnePoll, the study included 3,000 adults and also listed the top lies men and women tell the most.
"Lying may seem to be an unavoidable part of human nature, but it's an important part of social interaction," Katie Maggs, museum curator, told the Telegraph. "The jury is still out as to whether quirks like lying are the result of our genes, evolution or upbringing."
More on MSN Living: The biggest rocks of 2012
Eighty-two percent of females in the survey said that lying made them feel guilty, while only 70 percent of men felt the same way. Seventy-five percent of those polled said it was okay to lie in order to spare someone's feelings.
While men lie more often, women are more prone to lie in specific situations, according to a separate study carried about by BMW Financial Services. For example, when it comes to shopping, 39 percent of women feel the need to lie about their purchases compared to only 26 percent of men. Women are also more likely to lie about being busy in order to avoid a phone call. Half of women surveyed admitted to lying in this situation compared to just over a third of men.
Below are the top five lies told by both sexes, according to the men and women surveyed. Let's hope they were telling the truth about their lying.
Top 5 lies men tell:
- I didn't have that much to drink.
- Nothing's wrong; I'm fine.
- I had no signal.
- It wasn't that expensive.
- I'm on my way.
Top 5 lies women tell:
- Nothing's wrong; I'm fine.
- I don't know where it is. I haven't touched it.
- It wasn't that expensive.
- I didn't have that much to drink.
- I've got a headache.

Ten seconds.
That's the freelance time new Lafayette women's basketball coach Dianne Nolan said she gives to her players at the start of games.
Ten seconds.
That's the freelance time new Lafayette women's basketball coach Dianne Nolan said she gives to her players at the start of games.
Her system is helter-skelter after that.
''We like to say that we pack 60 minutes into it,'' she said.
Run and press are the blueprint as Nolan takes over for Tammy Smith, who was fired March 9 after a 6-23 season, which included a 4-10 mark in the Patriot League.
Smith posted a 57-204 record (45-99 in league play) in nine seasons. Nolan enters College Hill with a career record of 517-416, which included six 20-win seasons in a 28-year tenure at Fairfield.
Nolan, a 1973 graduate of Glassboro State, now Rowan University, was associate head coach at Yale the last three seasons. She was in her car on a recruiting trip in Newport News, Va., over the weekend when she learned she had gotten the job.
Lafayette has not had a winning record since going 15-13 in the 1997-98 season.
''A new chapter of Lafayette basketball has began,'' Nolan said Tuesday at a press news at Kirby Sports Center.
''It's going to be a journey that's going to have a lot of highs, a little lows,'' she said. ''I really want to restore Lafayette women's basketball to the top echelon of the league and beyond that.''
Speaking before a room that included administrators, players and family members, Nolan discussed her strategies, demands and time table for changing the culture and mindset of the program.
Don't blink.
''It started to change last night,'' Nolan said. ''I'm not a very patient person at times, so we intend to change it as quickly as possible. It may take a little while, but I see no reason why change can't happen very quickly, and that's what we intend to do. Time frame? Why not now?''
Lauren Jackson, a junior guard who averaged 10.5 points last season, is encouraged by what Nolan brings to a program starved for success.
''The winning part is very nice, and just her demeanor and passion about basketball,'' Jackson said. ''You can really tell that this is something that she is excited about doing, and we are excited about having her here. We are ready to go.
''We are ready with the uptempo. It's going to be a nice change. We have to make adjustments but it's going to be good.''
Lafayette athletic director Bruce McCutcheon said around 200 people applied for the job, more appealing now than when Smith was hired in 2001 because the Leopards now offer scholarships and because of the improved talent and overall play in the Patriot League.
''It was clear from the conversations that I had with just tons of people,'' McCutcheon said. ''This name kept coming up, and I had a chance to speak with Dianne on several occasions both in person and on the phone.
''Dianne is a proven winner, proven educator. She is a proven coach. She has unparalleled passion for the game of basketball. She brings to us a high level of energy, a tireless work ethic and a set of values that emulates those at Lafayette College.''
And Nolan has an immediate desire to beat Lehigh, the premier team in the Patriot League.
Not just on the court. She wants to win over the same recruits Lehigh goes after. At Yale, she recruited the same type of player, and, despite being hired late, she's confident she can lure a few good ones Lafayette's way.
''We're not behind the eight-ball at all,'' she said.
The journey begins.

|Employees, Customer Robbed At Gunpoint At San Fernando Barbershop
|Written by Alex Garcia
|Thursday, 13 February 2014 04:25
A. Garcia / SFVS
A customer and some employees at the Faded Times Barbershop in San Fernando were victims of a robbery. On Feb. 7, as the business was getting ready to close its doors at 9 p.m., two African American men entered the place and held up three employees, the owner and a customer at the shop, stealing money and wallets, according witnesses. "We were pretty much cleaning up.
Two guys came in with a gun and they just took everything," said Lupe Mora, owner of Faded Times. "You just hate the stereotypes, but that's what it was." In all, the robbers, who wore bandanas over their faces, took about $800, leaving everyone shaken.
The theft took only about a minute and a half and San Fernando police officers showed up right away, Mora said. "It's the first time anything like this has ever happened in the two years we've been open," he said. "It's just a messed up situation. I grew up here and I never heard of anything like this happening here (in San Fernando).
"They robbed the client, they have no shame," Mora continued. Det. Pete Aguirre from the San Fernando Police Department told the San Fernando Valley Sun/El Sol that this was "a fairly isolated incident" and that there are no other robberies with 'similar M.O.'s (modus operandi)" reported in the City recently.
He added they are checking with neighboring agencies to see if there are other incidents like this. Aguirre said the assailants wore gloves and "covered their faces pretty well" to avoid being recognized. Police investigators said they only had a vague description of the robbers and are checking surveillance video from nearby stores to see if they could identify them and the vehicle in which they fled.
"I would venture to say this is not the first time they've done something like this," Aguirre said. The barbershop is now taking some added precautions. The steel cover in front of the store is now partially closed, leaving only the door open. And, Mora said, "we're going to have to put some cameras inside."

News: Cormega Warns Nas, "It's Not In His Best Position To Look To Beef W/ Me" [Video]
Thursday, Aug 13, 2009 5:45PM
Rapper Cormega recently spoke on his G-Unit affiliation and explained why his former rap associate Nas should not invest time in dissing him.
While denying reports of signing with the Unit, Mega addressed a recent rumor of Nas shooting a verbal jab his way while recording a video in Queens last month.
"My life is bigger than thinking about rap n*ggas," Mega said in an interview. "I don't give a f*ck about rap n*ggas. Like [Tony] Yayo, I met Yayo through two different channels...I'm cool with G-Unit, we never even discussed none of that [signing deals.] Just because you see me rocking with n*ggas --I find it funny how n*ggas like G-Unit catch so much heat from New York...Them n*ggas show more love than a lot of the n*ggas that be dissing them...First of all, it's not in [Nas'] best interest to do that because once he does then it opens the door for me to respond. Number two -- I don't even know how long he was out there. Like if you look at the footage, there's barely anybody outside. And the n*gga wasn't even out there long, he left. I'm not the type of dude who looks for beef. It's not in his best position to look to beef with me or look for problems with me." (Hip Hop Gossip Site)
Footage of Nas speaking on his newborn's birth and "presence" in Queens landed online late last month.
In a recent viral clip featuring former Nas affiliate Cormega and Tony Yayo going on a "tour" of Queens, the G-Unit member quipped that "You don't see Nas around here." While not identifying the clip directly, Nas took time to light-heartedly address that and similar accusations made that he doesn't visit his old neighborhood. "We're out here, like my n***as Lox say, with no security," Nas stated. "In my hood, this is my motherf**king hood. My hood, n***a! Trust that! But much love, this is a beautiful thing." (Life Pulse Blog)
Yayo previously called out Nas when recording a video alongside Mega from Queens last month.
"Queenbridge, Cormega, tell 'em where we at," Yayo said in an interview earlier this month. "You don't see Nas out here. August 13th, everything free. Come out here. Lamar Odom, Floyd Mayweather is gonna be here. That's how I roll. When you're in the hood you gotta be extra careful. They say I'm never in the hood, well, I'm in the hood. They always say I'm in the hood. I'm in the hood with Cormega and you already know what it is." (ThisIs50)
Despite rhyming together on The Firm, Nas and Mega eventually parted ways, exchanging disses at one another on tracks like Stillmatic's "Destory & Rebuild."
"He held a mass appeal and a little boy smile," Nas rapped about Mega in 2001. "Depressed has a complex his mouth was foul/You need to stay around I feel like telling some stories/First theres this arrogent f*ck, his names Cory/Hung around my mans Like and Big Trevor/Trevors still locked up, Likes getting his cheddar/Cory changed his name to arr, whatever/Cornchip, Buckwheat lookalike, its Mega/Right Mega was his name sorry about that/But its so hard to put a cowards name in my rap/Always acting tough, a jokester be fronting/He got snuffed, he got shot in the thigh, he did nothing/But thats Nas always looking out for breadrin/Cause when brethren don't return love it don't stress him." ("Destroy & Rebuild")
Check out Cormega's warning to Nas below:

So, I'm Lakota Sioux. And for a while I wanted to learn really badly.
What I did was google "learn Lakota language." And I got all sorts of useful results. There were pages with useful phrases/words. There were pages on how to address other people. There were even a few tapes and books on Amazon on how to speak Lakota.
There is also this school called St. Joseph's Indian School in South Dakota. I donate to them once a month because they're a poor school for Indian children. They have a website with a bunch of information. And I bet if you called them, they might even offer a class over the internet or something. It never hurts to ask. You could donate a couple bucks while you're on there, too. They'll send you cool stuff in the mail for every donation as incentive. Like return address stickers and tote bags and ornaments and stuff. They also include handwritten thank-you letters from kids at the school. It's for a great cause.
#Lakota grandmothers are rejected as foster parents by#SouthDakota for being too old, rumors, having too small of a house, decades old crimes, too poor, the list goes on.
Then, the children go to non-Native, private, foster group homes and psychiatric institutions. The answer is tribal foster care programs, with unbiased foster standards.

I think that you are showing signs of being unknowingly racist. It's not your fault, don't worry. We live in a racist world.
I once read a list of 21 common racist behaviors and number one is what I believe you are experiencing. It is the attitude that "I don't associate this with a certain race or culture. I don't see people as their race. I see us all as equals." Which is essentially denying anyone who is non-white of their experiences as a minority. You are denying that having feathers in your hair is a culturally native american icon. You are denying the heritage of the moccasins on your feet. You are actually stripping native americans of their culture by claiming it as your own, quirky "style."
The fact of the matter is, if our ancestry wasn't dehumanized to the point of being a "style," if our culture wasn't stolen from us by the Europeans when they entered our country, white people wouldn't have access to moccasins or regalia or anything that can be identified as culturally american indian. If our culture wasn't so objectified, you wouldn't even know what moccasins are.
My advice isn't to stop dressing the way you do. It is to recognize the things you are dressing yourself with BELONG to a certain heritage, a certain group of people that you are not affiliated with. Recognize that this could be categorized as racist behavior and instead of arguing that you are not being offensive because the intent isn't there, realize that you ARE being offensive, regardless of intent, and accept that. Sit down and say to yourself "My name is ____ and this is a racist behavior that I exhibit. I am not a bad person because of this, but I understand that some people may be offended by it. I respect them for their experiences and realize that I will never know what it's like to be them."
I think you need to read this article about yellowface and blackface.
It's wrong to dehumanize or claim a culture that isn't yours. As an American Indian, it's really offensive when white people wear headdresses or put feathers in their hair. It's even worse when white teenagers buy moccasins or fringe bags from places like American Eagle or Urban Outfitters. Because those places claim legitimacy and authenticity in their products, but are really cheaply made bag and moccasin look-a-likes. I mean, do you even know why indians put fringe on their shoes? If you want to respect the culture, go to a pow wow. Donate to indian schools. Don't try to be like one of us because you aren't. Embrace your own culture and let us embrace and celebrate ours. We've earned it.
And for the love of god, do not get a tribal tattoo.
Sure thing!!

GLO creates wide spread outdoor 'Halo' for Sprite

Neha Nagpal
Tuesday, 07 February 2012 09:00 (IST)
NEW DELHI: As summer season approaches, leading beverage brands come out of their shell with high impact advertising. In an effort to drive up the sales of it's clear drink - Sprite this summer, soft drink giant, Coca-Cola India has launched a pan India outdoor campaign.
Keeping its idea intact, Sprite this year has come up with new tag line – 'Pyas Ko Rakhe Door'. For this, the company has vested its outdoor advertising duties with GLO (A joint venture between Greenline and Lodestar UM). The two month long campaign has been executed in 35 cities across India.
Taking about the idea behind execution of the campaign, Raminder Singh, managing director, GLO, said, "The media deployed by GLO was meticulously selected after thorough planning to optimise visibility and impact. Smart Innovations were planned and executed through core large format sites to effectively communicate the message."
The campaign targets the youth by leveraging youth corridors through clutter breaking outdoor creatives all focussing on the new Sprite proposition of 'Pyas Ko Rakhe Door'.
Check out the aura of play with lights
The agency has used outdoor media like billboards, unipoles, lollypops and gantries. In addition, to drive the message, the agency has very innovatively used a billboard at one of the busiest thoroughfares of Lucknow, Saharaganj Mall, by installing a cut-out of the bottle with glow and blinking effect at night.
As and when the bottle glows on one side, adjacently, the other panel with the communication 'Pyas Ko Rakhe Door' which is illuminated by LED lights blinks on the other side. Visually, the symphony between the bottle and the message looks attractive, eye catching, and helps in registering the message.
Apart from this, a backlit sprite logo using neon lights on a billboard have been used at VIP road and Aminabad market in the same city.
As the company claims, Uttar Pradesh is a big market for its clear drink Sprite, hence with a full-fledged campaign across India, they have tried to focus and dominate all cities in UP which includes major ones like Lucknow, Gorakhpur, Agra, Jhansi, Etawa, Sambhal, Aligarh and Mathura etc.

A special tour, "Labor Behind the Veil," highlights the daily lives of slaves in the mansion, and is available by request with advanced reservation.

Exclusive: Keith Murray Vouches For Erick Sermon's "VH1 Hip Hop Honors" Rant, "Somebody F*cked Up Bad"
Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 8:00AM
After Erick Sermon's VH1 Hip-Hop Honors rant earlier this month about not being recognized by the network, SOHH reached out to Keith Murray about his reaction to his Def Squad associate's choice words toward the network.
Standing up for "The Green Eyed Bandit," Murray pointed out Sermon's accomplishments under Def Jam's wings as EPMD.
"My thoughts on Erick Sermon blasting VH1 -- is he's right," Murray wrote to SOHH via a statement. "How are they not gonna have one of the groups that made Def Jam what it is today not do their number one, back to back five or more albums' singles? Looks like Def Jam and management should be put on blast for that. Somebody f*cked up bad and did hip-hop a great i justice and the EMPD legacy that night and every time that show is played on TV and I see it, it will disgust me that people just don't care about [the] TRUE history of hip-hop." (SOHH)
While not mentioning specific names, Sermon previously pointed out the network's lack of recognition for EPMD's accomplishments in hip-hop.
"I have yet to be officially invited to the VH1 Hip Hop Honors," he wrote in a blog posting. "Yes, I know many of you are sitting there with your mouths open and a cloud with a question mark over your heads wondering how such an incredible oversight like this could ever happen, 5 years in a row. Although I say that with a pompous amount of sarcasm I still believe that EPMD is synonymous with Hip Hop- am I alone on this? Yet the two times we've been included in this occasion, which is supposed to honor those who have made great contributions to Hip Hop culture, it has been at the request of other artists or by some strange turn of events. This year, I spoke with a VH1 producer from the show who told me that he 'found a spot for me.' At the time, this remark didn't bother me that much because it was buffered with the rundown of all the great people involved and a rumor that I had said I didn't want to be a part of the festivities. Of course no executives contacted me directly to establish if this were true or not- so they took me off the original schedule because of this so-called "rumor" they heard. But that's beside the point." (All Hip Hop)
EPMD, with over two decades of music to their names, joined forces with Def Jam in the early 1990's.
EPMD signed to Sleeping Bag/Fresh Records for the debut album Strictly Business. Propelled by several strong singles (including "You Gots to Chill" and the title track), the album eventually went gold, as did 1989's follow-up, Unfinished Business. Signed to Def Jam by the beginning of the '90s, EPMD returned in 1990 with Business as Usual and Business Never Personal two years later. (All Music)
Former Def Jam labelmate N.O.R.E. also blasted VH1's showcase.
"I feel invisible !!!!!! I never get noticed I never get props i deserve!!!," he wrote via Twitter. "I bet if they honor the neptunes my name wouldn't even come up They'll give everybody else props!!! Lyor [Cohen] stalked me to be on defjam It's a good show f*ck it I'm not a hater just feel invisible but imma manage to manage!!!" (Nore's Twitter)

Q: Why is it important to give my Jewish baby a Hebrew name in addition to an English name?
A: Certain religious rituals require Hebrew names. Hebrew names are used for calling people to the Torah. Certain prayers, such as the memorial prayer or the prayer for the sick, use the Hebrew name. Legal documents, such as the marriage contract or ketubah, also use the Hebrew name.
Orthodox Jews and Israelis often give their children a Hebrew name, and that name is used for both everyday and religious purposes.
Elsewhere it has become customary for Jewish parents to give their children two names - a secular name for use in the gentile world and a Hebrew name for religious purposes.
Q: How do I choose a Hebrew name for my baby?
Often parents choose Hebrew names that start with the same letter as the secular name. For instance, Blake's Hebrew name might be Boaz and Lindsey's might be Leah. Sometimes the secular name is an interpretation of the Hebrew name, like Jonah for Yonah and Eva for Chava. And sometimes there is no connection between the Hebrew and secular names; My parents gave me the English name of Lisa because they like it, and the Hebrew name of Sara in memory of my great-grandmother.
The two main sources for Hebrew names for today's Jewish babies are older Biblical names and modern Israeli names. This online resource on Hebrew names can help you in choosing a Hebrew name.
Q: Can Ashkenazi Jews name a child after a living relative?
A: It has become an Ashkenazi custom to name a new baby after a relative that has passed away. This keeps the name and memory alive, and in a metaphysical way forms a bond between the soul of the baby and the deceased relative. However, it is by no means forbidden to give a child the same name as a living relative. The living relative should be asked permission.
Q: Can Sephardi Jews name a child after a living relative?
A: The Sephardic tradition is to name new babies after living relatives (source: Talmud Shabbat 134a).
Q: Should we consider our parents wishes when choosing a name for our child?
A: In such matters a person does not have to consider his parents' wish, if he opposes it strongly and has good reason to object (source: "Code of Jewish Law" Y.D. 240:25).
Q: My sibling already named a child after my grandmother. Can we "share" the honor of naming him after my grandmother, or do we need to pick another name.
A: You can definitely name after the grandmother, even though others may have already honored her memory by doing so. This is a great honor to the deceased, because its soul can achieve an elevation based on the good deeds of the namesake. The child, meanwhile, can be inspired by the good qualities of the deceased -- and make a deep connection to the past.
Q: I am an adult who was never given a Jewish name. Can I give myself a Jewish name?
A: Yes. The new name can be established by friends calling you and referring to you as such, for at least thirty days (source: "Code of Jewish Law" E.H. 129: "Bet Shmuel" 33 there; "Igrot Moshe" by R' M. Feinstein, E.H. IV 104).

Apple's iOS 6.1 update introduced some improvements to Siri and LTE compatibility, but for many users, it also cut their phones off from 3G networks or Microsoft's Exchange. The former issue has hopefully been addressed with a bug fix, but the latter apparently remains unsolved — and Microsoft is now telling Exchange administrators they may need to block or throttle iOS 6.1 users to keep their servers running well.
"Apple and Microsoft are investigating this issue."
In a bug report, the company acknowledges that "when a user syncs a mailbox by using an iOS 6.1-based device, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Client Access server and Mailbox server resources are consumed, log growth becomes excessive, memory and CPU use may increase significantly, and server performance is affected." Some users, meanwhile, get error messages blocking them from accessing Office 365 Exchange Online. For now, "Apple and Microsoft are investigating this issue," and administrators are urged to open a support ticket if they're having trouble.
While the bug is being fixed, Microsoft has also given admins a few workarounds. Chiefly, iOS 6.1 users shouldn't process Calendar requests, and devices getting error messages should be restarted. If this doesn't solve the problem, though, Microsoft also suggests either re-linking the Exchange account, reducing server load by throttling iOS devices, or simply blocking iOS 6.1 users from Exchange. Apple fixed its connectivity problem fairly quickly, so it's possible an Exchange-focused update will also be coming soon. For now, though, it's a major blow to enterprise iOS users.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Knox County Trustee John Duncan III pleaded guilty Tuesday morning to official misconduct and resigned from office.
As part of a deal with the guilty plea, Duncan was sentenced to serve one year of unsupervised probation.
Duncan, the son of U.S. Congressman John Duncan, Jr., appeared in court with his father, his mother and his wife, Jennifer. He did not make a statement during the hearing.
The charge and plea agreement stem from a bonus Duncan gave himself in connection to a continuing education program, the University of Tennessee County Technical Assistance Services (CTAS) program.
Duncan awarded $60,000 in bonuses to six staffers and himself for taking the online courses. The money was paid before the course work was completed.
The trustee, who was first elected in 2010, first gave out the bonuses in December 2010 and October 2011.
All trustee's staff members and Duncan returned their bonuses, but the county law director turned the matter over to the district attorney general's office for further investigation because of accusations the trustee tried to cover up the bonuses.
County Commission R. Larry Smith said at the time computer files and other evidence were destroyed.
During the hearing on Tuesday, prosecutor Bill Bright alleged that Duncan lied to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation by saying that no one ever told him that he couldn't collect bonuses before completion of the training program.
"He told the TBI at the time, 'Nobody told me it wasn't proper to make CTAS payments prior,'" he said.
However, three employees of the Trustee's office, including David Skinner, told the TBI that they had warned Duncan.
"Skinner states he even showed the defendant and Mr. Burnett that the language required completion," the prosecutor said, referring to Duncan and his former chief of staff Josh Burnett.
As part of his deal, Duncan has applied for judicial diversion. A hearing on that will be held on August 15.
In 2012, a state law was passed to prevent officials who commit a crime from receiving judicial diversion.
Rep. Ryan Haynes, who sponsored the bill, said it cannot be applied to this case because the crime was committed before the law passed.
Because the bonuses have already been repaid, Duncan will not have to pay restitution.
A worker in the trustee's office said Duncan will be replaced by Kristin Phillips, a 20-year Trustee's Office worker, who will be interim emergency successor.
Officials move forward
U.S. Rep. John Duncan, Jr. spoke briefly in support of his son outside the courthouse.
"Lynn and I love our son very much and we're very proud," Duncan told 6 News. "He's done a great job as Trustee, and we're going move on into the future."
In light of the ruling, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett promised more accountability from the Trustee's Office.
"Today's events are certainly unfortunate. As Knox County moves forward, our finance department will work with our external auditors, and will also offer any assistance necessary to the Trustee's office in order to ensure that taxpayer business continues properly."
Chad Tindell, a former Trustee's Office staffer and delinquent tax attorney, told 6 News he had mixed feelings about the case.
"I was put in a very difficult position. I am very happy to have moved on both personally and professionally. There are a lot of good employees in the Trustee's office. I feel for them as they go through yet another change," he said.
Tindell, who was also charged as part of the scandal, pled guilty to one count of facilitation of official misconduct in December and was given judicial diversion.
Commissioner R. Larry Smith hopes the decision will start to regain the public's trust in the Trustee's Office.
"Look what we've just had in the last couple of administrations in the trustee. We've had a lot of distrust," Smith said.
The next step will be appointing a new trustee.
"Let's put somebody in there that can do the job," he said.
County commission will soon begin the process to fill the position until next year's election.
"We will accept resumes. We will have a public hearing and have them go through a formal interview process and then we'll vote," Commissioner Mike Hammond said.
Hammond said he would rather appoint someone not interested in running in 2014 to avoid politicizing the appointment.
"I think someone needs to come in and provide leadership for the office and someone needs to provide to the citizens the peace of mind that there is someone professional there who is at the helm and then they'll have the chance to vote on the next trustee," he said.
The county website already shows they are moving forward. There is now a blank spot where John Duncan III's picture used to be.
Commissioner Smith said he has already received calls from people interested in the position.
He himself has not decided whether he will seek the position, but told 6 News he was considering it.
A political career in turmoil
John Duncan, III's political career started with great promise.
An easy win in both the primary and general elections in 2010 appeared to many as the beginning of his ascension and the continuation of the Duncan political dynasty.
Throughout the early part of 2010, candidate John Duncan, III stressed two things - efficiency and trust. The Trustee's office had been mired in scandal with rumors of ghost employees and corruption in the Mike Lowe administration. Lowe is currently under indictment.Duncan said he would change that and in January of that year when he appeared on 6 News' Tennessee This Week, his first television appearance as a candidate."We can put an end to scandals and investigations that have distracted not only the Trustee's Office, but county government as well. I can bring about the best government possible," Duncan said on the show.He was easily elected in the primary and in August won the Trustee position in a landslide. "For that I say thank you, and together, with your help we will put trust back in the Trustee's office," Duncan said in an advertisement after the election.Despite his insistence on bringing trust back to the office, the record shows that within days of taking office, Duncan was approving state bonuses for himself and others in his office for a certification process that neither he nor the others had completed.A year later in 2011, he did the same thing.
In early January of 2012, he again appeared on Tennessee This Week, admitting he had paid bonuses, but had the authority under the salary suit that is filed annually by his office.But he also said - the policy of paying in advance was over.
"In the future, only people who are certified are going to be paid. Anyone who's already received a payment will have to pay it back," he said.But the TBI was already investigating and heard from others in the office that Duncan was told that they were illegal and that he knew better.In December of 2012, Duncan's Chief of Staff Josh Burnett and Tax Attorney Chad Tindell pleaded guilty to facilitation of official misconduct. Both would eventually be granted judicial diversion.
