Milestone Brandcom creates larger-than-life imagery for Colors' new serials

NEW DELHI: OOH is a visual media that lends itself to striking innovations. The new Colors outdoor campaign executed by Milestone Brandcom embodies the virtues of larger-than-life depiction and innovative displays that make indelible impressions. The OOH firm has created a buzz for the two new serials launched by the entertainment television channel - 'Yeh Pyar Na Hoga Kam' and 'Laagi Tujhse Lagan' – with a two-week outdoor campaign in 25 cities in the Hindi-speaking regions. Notably, the campaign in Mumbai has even people participating in them.
To cite a few of the innovations, one display on a residential building has a huge 'dupatta' falling over the face of the main character of the serial 'Laagi Tujhse Lagan', depicting the theme of the serial in a telling manner. Likewise, a 3D billboard innovation has been executed for 'Yeh Pyar Na Hoga Kam' wherein models of the lead artistes are seen sitting on an actual bench that juts out of the billboard.
Milestone Brandcom has also installed photoframes at different points along the Marine Drive that capture couples spending time at the popular hangouts. An onlooker would associate the couples featuring in these photoframes with the 'Yeh Pyar Na Hoga Kam' serial.
Besides, Milestone Brandcom has chosen high-traffic, frequency-led areas for the bulk of the displays in the cities in order to reach out to a wide cross-section of people. Nabendu Bhattacharyya, founder and managing director, Brandcom Milestone, said the objective was to use the OOH for real-life depiction. "We aimed to create larger-than-life imageries" with plenty of innovations, he said.
Talking about the innovations, Bhattacharyya said that Milestone Brandcom has paid particular attention toward the creative aspects, which most specialist OOH agency tend to not to focus upon. "We have a strong inhouse creative team which helps us to execute such innovations," he said.
Stating that "we are after all in the business of ideas," he said that clients like Colors have been highly appreciative of the work the agency has delivered. However, he felt that the creative agencies are not doing enough in the OOH domain.
Providing the client perspective on the campaign, Rameet Arora, head – marketing, Colors, said the OOH media provides both brand salience and frequency. "While in a 360 degree campaign, every media plays its own role, outdoors provides a larger-than-life presence," he said, while adding that for the current campaign the Milestone Brandcom team has worked "harder than the brief" and engaged people with lots of talking points.
He said the campaign has succeeded in creating a larger-than-life depiction of the new TV serials and ensured high frequency which has its own importance for a television show.

Should I be alarmed by dog or cat cysts?
By: Ernest E. Ward, Jr., DVM
What cysts occur in dogs and cats?
Cysts, or tumors, are hollow spaces within tissues and contain either a liquid or a solidified material; the contents may be a natural bodily secretion or an abnormal breakdown product. Some cysts develop within a cancerous lump, but we're only discussing non-cancerous cysts here. Non-cancerous cysts include:
- True cysts, which form in glands as a result of blocked ducts. In animals, a common type of true cyst is the one that forms in sweat glands. Complete removal or destruction of the true cyst lining may be necessary to prevent recurrence.
- Follicular cysts, which are dilated hair follicles containing fluid or dark-colored cheesy material. They're also known as epidermoid cysts and are prone to secondary infections. Dilated pores and blackheads are related to follicular cysts but have wide openings on the surface.
- Sebaceous cysts, which are filled with sebum (skin oil) and develop in and around sebaceous glands associated with hair follicles. These common cysts are also prone to secondary infections.
- Dermoid cysts, which are complex congenital cysts, which means they're present at birth.
- False cysts,which are fluid-filled structures formed by hemorrhage or trauma that leads to tissue death; the fluid within them develops when the dead tissue liquefies.
What causes cysts in dogs and cats?
There are numerous causes for cysts to develop in pets:
- Injury
- Blockage of the opening of the hair follicle pore
- Sun damage or follicular inactivity (e.g. Mexican hairless and Chinese crested dogs)
- Treatment with certain drugs including steroids
- A lack of oily secretions in diseases such as sebaceous adenitis
- Inherited predispositions due to breed, such as Schnauzers and Yorkshire terriers
- Thin coats and little body fat
- Multiple and recurrent follicular cysts may develop on the heads of young dogs. Boxers have a predilection for these cysts.
- Dermoid cysts, which occur most frequently in the Rhodesian Ridgeback dog, develop because the skin fails to close properly so the outer epidermal tissue becomes trapped within the deeper tissue
- Hemorrhage, trauma or even an injection reaction
Are these common tumors?
- Sweat gland cysts are common in dogs and cats, particularly on the eyelids.
- Follicular and sebaceous cysts are common in dogs. Cats get them less frequently except for "feline acne" on the chin and "stud tail" on the upper tail.
- Dermoid cysts are rare.
- False cysts due to trauma are fairly common in dogs.
What do these cysts look like… and what do they do?
- Follicular and dermoid cysts are unsightly and may fill with an unpleasant, soft cheesy material (keratin). This material may become secondarily infected with bacteria or yeast, producing a foul smell.
- Sweat gland cysts are nodules that are are usually slightly translucent and blue or dark in color; often the surrounding hair will be lost. You may see several of them, particularly around the eyes and in the ears.
- Cysts filled with blood often look dark. With the naked eye they may be difficult to distinguish from cancers.
- It's important to note that cysts in dogs and cats can't harm people.
How are these pet cysts diagnosed?
- For an accurate diagnosis, your vet will recommend a tissue examination under a microscope (called histopathy).
- Your veterinarian will either take a biopsy of the tissue or remove the entire lump and submit the tissue to a specialized laboratory for evaluation by a veterinary pathologist.
- If the sample is the complete lump, the pathologist can assess whether the entire mass was successfully removed.
- Histopathology can also help the pathologist determine the cause of the cyst, predict the behavior of the tumor (prognosis) and rule out other forms of cancer.
What types of treatment are available?
- The most common treatment for cysts is surgical removal.
- If available, laser treatment is useful for sweat gland cysts.
- Topical treatment, such as a cream, can be used with multiple small follicular cysts.
- Other treatments may be needed to address the primary causes, and sometime if the underlying cause is removed, some cysts will decrease in size or disappear on their own. Cysts due to trauma can resolve in time.
How can I help my pet?
- Prevent your pet from rubbing, scratching, licking or biting the cysts so you can help reduce inflammation, infection and bleeding.
- If the cyst becomes ulcerated, you'll need to keep it clean and your pet may require a protective bandage over the area until it heals.
- After surgery, you'll need to keep the incision site clean and dry, and your pet shouldn't be allowed to interfere with the site.
- Call your vet immediately if you see significant swelling, bleeding, or loss of sutures after surgery. If you require additional advice on post-surgical care, please ask.
How will I know if the cyst has been permanently cured?
In many cases, excision leads to a complete cure.
If your pet develops recurrent or multiple cysts, it's necessary to determine the underlying cause through diagnostic investigation. If cysts are genetic (e.g. Mexican hairless dogs), there will always be a tendency to develop further cysts.
The great news is -your vet can treat cysts right away to help your pet.
Contact your vet if you detect cysts on your dog or cat.

Hunger Games Art
New Hunger Games Concept Art by Tim Flattery
This newly released concept art shows the thought process that concept designer Tim Flattery went through to bring the Capitol and Panem to the bigscreen.
Interview with Mockingjay Pin Designer Dana Schneider
Check out a terrific LarkCrafts interview with Dana Schneider, who sculpted the metal mockingjay pin used in the films based on the illustration by Tim O'Brien.
Tell me about making the mockingjay pin for The Hunger Games.
Well, with The Hunger Games, the design was already established. The pin is on the cover of the first book. So it was an incredible challenge to replicate something that's so clear in the minds of so many fans. Getting it right involved months of meetings, models, and plane trips. [Dana now lives in her hometown of Canton, Ohio, and "commutes" to her film work.]
I carved the original by hand using lost-wax casting. It is sterling silver plated with 22-karat gold and with an antique finish applied. It took a while to get that aged look right. And it took six different models to work out things such as where to solder the arrow on the pin and how to make it look delicate and yet have it still be functional.
When working on a movie, you have many different things to take into account. Jennifer Lawrence's main costume was canvas, so the pin had to look delicate but be able go through several thick layers of canvas. And because I'd read the book, when the costume designer asked me to make the mockingjay pin, I knew immediately that I'd also be making the pin for the stunt double. You don't want the stunt double to be hurt when wearing a piece of jewelry—that's number one. You always have to think about things like that when making jewelry for movies.

Minimalist 'Hunger Games' Posters
Lately I've been on a minimalist movie poster kick and have come across a few cool ones that fans have made for The Hunger Games. If you're not familiar with minimalist design, the key to it is to be rich in symbolism and every detail from the shapes to the colors has a purpose. In some cases, the artist will focus around a specific detail and viewers will not understand the art unless they have seen the movie, or in this case read the book.
What do you think of this minimalist art? Let us know which is your favorite poster in the comments. My personal favorite is the Mockingjay one.

Fashionable 'Hunger Games' Fan Art
With CapitolCouture.PN going live, the fashions from the The Hunger Games have come into the lime light. We've gotten tips from The Capitol on how to 'look your best' and a few peaks of Cinna's designs, but now here are some renditions of how the fans imagine Katniss's interview outfits. I really like how these artist interpret ideas like 'girl on fire', 'wearing candlelight' and 'radiant as the sun'. Which piece of fan art outfit do you like the best?
As a note, while it's not seen until Catching Fire, I included Katniss's wedding/mockingjay dress since it still deals with fashion.

Fan Art Inspired by 'Safe & Sound' from 'The Hunger Games' Soundtrack
It's been almost two weeks since Taylor Swift tweeted about her song Safe & Sound, featuring the Civil Wars, being on The Hunger Games soundtrack, and the fans have been busy. The fans took Safe & Sound to the #1 spot on iTunes on Christmas, have made numerous covers of the song, and created amazing fan art, which is the focus of the rest of this post.
I've found three different pieces depicting the relationships in the book/movie that fellow fans think the song could be representing:
The song evokes a lot of feelings, and I think that these artists have captured that very well in their pictures by choosing to show Katniss with a character that she has a strong emotional bonds with (Prim, Peeta and Rue). I'm still not sure where Safe & Sound will fit in with the movie, but I love that the fans are using it to fuel their own creativity. Do you have a favorite out of the three, or your own Safe & Sound inspired art?

By JILL MCNEAL6 News Anchor/Reporter
MARYVILLE (WATE) - Two Blount County teens say they were fired from their jobs at Little River Bar-B-Que in Townsend when they chose to attend the funeral of a friend.
Skyler Boring, 17, was killed in an accidental shooting last week.
"The day after Skyler got shot I told them I wouldn't be at work Saturday," said Jole Payne.
Payne and Jose Hernandez had wrestled with Skyler since seventh grade.
"She told us we should only be off if it was immediate family. I told her we had grown up with Skyler since middle school, so he was pretty much our immediate family," Hernandez said.
The guys said they knew their boss wouldn't be happy, but didn't expect to get fired by text message right after the funeral.
"Travis said don't bother coming in tomorrow. Your check will be ready on Tuesday," Payne read from his phone.
"It's just really sad that somebody could do that, as kind and nice as people have been under the circumstances, and then to have that happen and especially to kids too," said Brandy Renfro, Payne's mother.
The owner of Little River Bar-B-Que, Travis Grant, didn't want to go on camera, but said that many of his employees went to the funeral and were not fired because they made arrangements with management.
He said they gave students three choices: either find someone else to work for them, come in to work before or after the funeral, or go to the funeral in shifts so everyone is not gone at once. He said Hernandez and Payne refused to cooperate.
Payne and Hernandez said they have no regrets.

Author Geoff Atkinson donates books to help raise money for Heath Robinson Museum
Updated 4:34pm Thursday 17th April 2014 in News By Bruce Thain
The author of a new book has donated 500 copies to help raised money for a museum's expansion.
Comedy writer Geoff Atkinson has donated 500 copies of his book Colin Nugent saves Britain to be sold by the Heath Robinson Museum at West House.
William Heath Robinson was a cartoonist and illustrator best known for his drawing of eccentric but logical contraptions and lived in Pinner.
Last year it was announced the Heritage Lottery Fund awarded a grant of £1.13 million to The West House and Heath Robinson Museum Trust's project to build an extension to facility.
However an extra £150,000 is needed to start the construction phase which is due to begin this autumn.
The signed books cost £5 and are available at the New Leaf Bookshop in Pinner, or the Heath Robinson Gallery at West House in Pinner Memorial Park.
Mr Atkinson, who also written for Spitting Image and Rory Bremner, said: "Many of Heath Robinson's illustrations poke fun at behaviours which make people smile and I think Colin would find it appropriate that his letters might be used to build such an exciting project."
All money will go towards the building of the museum which will tell the story of Heath Robinson's life, with a gallery and activity room for schools and children.

Stand Up & Be Counted: Weekend PollBy: wheatmeister
Should we clean up the church membership records once and for all? If so, how? Roll call? That could take a while. Bueller . . . Bueller . . .
Should we clean up the church membership records once and for all? If so, how? Roll call? That could take a while. Bueller . . . Bueller . . .
"Cross match against attendance records. Leave them on the books but only report as active if they attend at least annually".
Why is this not a better # than "14 million"? Who gets hurt?

I generally agree with Ray. The annual attendance thing isn't really workable. A lot of those people don't want to be dropped from the records. What about shut-ins? How do we accurately keep track of who attended during the year and who didn't?

One problem with removing people is that in our church membership records are equated with ordinances and therefore salvation. In my opinion that should be changed.
Like this comment? 3
Until the Savior decides he doesn't want them on the rolls, I'm for keeping them. I've spent a fair amount of time as a leader trying to track people down, and I think it's good that we try. I don't like writing anyone off. I don't know that I get jazzed about the annual numbers being read because I know how many aren't really participating with sacrament and other renewal sorts of things, so I don't think we can use that to track much of anything. I just think people should have to say they want out just as they had to say they wanted in.

I don't see anyone talking about removing people from the church rolls(?)
Just counting members as those who show up at church.( And that's not 14 million).
Like this comment? 2
I have no problem counting everyone who has been baptized and has not requested to be removed. It's the least invasive approach, imo – and the one that leaves the ultimate decision in the hands of the person at the individual level.
I just don't want people on the local rolls if they don't live in the local area; hence, my preference for a central pool of those for whom serious searching has been done – where it is obvious they don't live within the local unit boundaries.
Given all the resources available to us, we could find many of them if we really tried – but I'm glad we don't try that hard. If they want to be known, they will make it happen. That's good enough for me.

Since a ward's budget is off the number of tithe payers, it would stand to reason if you're not helping the budget then you shouldn't be hurting it. I would cross reference the attendance, those taking the sacrament at home, and tithing records.
Generally speaking if you're house confined your ward knows already knows about you.

At one time my membership meant nothing to me. I don't know where my record was kept during those years.
When I returned to activity my membership record was found. That is the way it should be.

I have had many experiences with my records' taking unusual trips. The first was when I was at BYU. For some reason, my records found their way to what was then called the "lost ward." One week my records were in my BYU ward, the next they were gone. This was really a surprise because I was an assistant ward clerk at the time.
The next was when the girl I was dating (who later became my wife) tried to get her records moved to the Singles Ward we were attending. Her bishop wouldn't move them, even though she was the only active female in her age group in her STAKE, let alone the ward. She just wanted to have her records where she felt like she fit in. She had to appeal to the Area Presidency, who (I have been told) took all of about 10 seconds to approve her request.
The last was when we were in a ward in a small town that had turned on her. She had mental and emotional problems that made the bishop decide she was too much work, and told both the priesthood quorums and the relief society not to have anything to do with her. Again, we had to go to the Area President to move our records to a ward that was supportive of her, and he quickly approved the request.
"Attend where you live" isn't always so cut and dried.

The "attend once a year" requirement seems like a perpetual nightmare for clerks. And even worse if we make reasonable exceptions for say, those who don't attend because of health, those who don't attend but pay tithing, those who don't go to sacrament meeting, but will come to an occasional ward activity, those who don't attend, but who are otherwise faithful, believing, practicing members, etc.
Do we require people to sign a sacrament meeting attendance roll every week? Or do we just go by memory? "Does anyone remember seeing Sister Jones in the past year? No? Then she's off the records." But what if she slipped in the back and nobody saw her? What if nobody knows who she is? What if we delete her records, and then two weeks later she shows up?
Multiply that by everybody in the ward, and there's going to be a constant flow of records going in and out and back in (not that we don't have enough of that now), and a continuous effort to try to determine who does and does not qualify to be on the ward list. Don't make me the membership clerk. I don't want to have to keep track of when everybody last attended church, who is a shut-in and is excused from attendance, who does or doesn't want to be a member. No thanks.
Anything we do in this regard should (1) make life easier for clerks, visiting/home teachers, relief societies, bishops, quorum leaders, etc., (2) ensure that people who want/need church fellowship are not deleted; and (3) we leave people alone who ought to be left alone. The once-a-year rule does the opposite of all three.

If the Mormon Church does not define who are it's members, others will. It may not happen for five years, but it is coming.
The Church is now "flowing" BILLIONS of files of dead people. I think they can handle the files on it's live members.

I guess I have no idea what you are talking about that will happen in five years, but the church definition of membership is pretty well defined as it is. If you became a member, you are a member until you die, resign, or are excommunicated. We don't do a perfect job of keeping the records updated, but the definition is clear enough. If people not in the church want to make other definitions now or in five years, I suppose that's their prerogative, but they're not going to have access to the membership file to be able to implement it.
If we wonder which members of record are "active" by some definition, then that's a different question. But for Pete's sake, let's choose a definition that doesn't require perpetual monitoring at the local level of Every Single Person and what they do or don't do in the church.
Keeping track of billions of dead people is an entirely different problem. They pretty much go into the database and stay dead. We don't have to send ward members out to the cemetery periodically to see if they've still been dead for the past year, or how many times they've been to sacrament meeting or shown other evidence of activity. Live people have the annoying habit of moving around to different addresses, getting married, being ordained, dying, having children, and other such changes in status that require ward clerks to send updates to 50 East North Temple. That's plenty for a clerk to keep current. But say you've been called as membership clerk, and now you also have to monitor the activity of every single person on your ward roster. The bishop asks you to delete the records of everyone who hasn't been to church in a year. How do you even know who they are? But you do your best, and then Brother A gets upset, claiming he came several times last year, even if nobody saw him. Sister B finds that she's no longer on the roster because she can't come to church because she's bedridden. Brother C hadn't been to church in a year, but then he starts coming occasionally. Then you have to get those records back from Salt Lake, and they'll stay there until you or someone else decides that Brother A or Sister B or Brother C meet the criteria for inactivity and sends them back again. And all the while you have to know and keep track of the _actual names_ of the people who attend sacrament meeting every week.
I'm not at all concerned about overwhelming the Big Computer in Salt Lake that keeps track of proxy temple ordinances and membership records. I just can't imagine how you envision local members keeping a continuously updated list of who has or hasn't been to sacrament meeting in the past year, or what to do about the people who still want to be members but don't attend for some reason.
It seems much more sensible to send records into the big inactive file when they can't be located, or if they ask us to. Then they can stay there until they turn 100 or something, or they request to be returned to active status. That way we're not burdening the wards with taking roll in sacrament meeting and making the (obviously invalid) assumption that the people who don't show up don't want to be members anymore.

I thought there already WAS a huge file of people who aren't in the last place they were known to be. Military members are often in that group even when they want their records to their current location.
This seems to be especially true when records are moving from one country to another. My sister-in-law married her husband in the states, and then moved to her husband's home in Canada. It took over six months to get her records straightened out. I know several military families who finally had their records arrive in Germany, a few months before they left. My aunt and uncle spent over 50 years on that list before they had their names removed.
Is there part of this I am missing?

Most churches define their membership by who attends their meetings and wish to be called members.
Nations are now requiring you to self ID as to what church you belong. I believe in Brazil there is a 900,000 difference between the Church's count and that of Brazil(?)
"That's plenty for a clerk to keep current". That's a point: Why? Because the Church needs to update it's way of record keeping/database so it's numbers can have meaning.

As you might have guessed, I'm not a believer in The Only True and Living Method of Counting Members. There's no such thing. It's not like every church in the world but us has agreed on a uniform method of reporting. Churches and other organizations use a variety of criteria for counting. As long as they're clear about the criteria, I don't have a problem with that. Yes, that means that that we can't directly compare membership numbers in a church that only counts adults with one that also counts children. We can't compare membership of a church that reports average weekly attendance with one that reports the number of members who attend at least once a year, or another one that reports members that attend 12 times a year. I've made my peace with that. They can count and report using whatever criteria they want. The LDS Church reports nominal members of record who are not reported to have died, resigned or been excommunicated. Anyone who cares knows that's what we report. So you can't compare the numbers with some other church that reports differently. I'm okay with that. Even if we reported "active" members, we still couldn't do an apples-to-apples comparison, because activity numbers would vary wildly depending on how a church defines "active."
Obviously, the number of active LDS members is less than the members of record and depends on the method for defining activity. I'd be pleased as punch if the church reported some activity numbers–however defined. I would like a process whereby members who don't wish contact can have their records sent from the local units to an inactive file along with those who are missing. I just think that requiring every ward clerk to take down the names of sacrament attendees every week would create a mountain of work, a logistic nightmare, and mostly useless data. I'm in favor of something more sensible and useful.
As far as people who no longer identify themselves as members, those 900,000 people in Brazil wouldn't be counted as *active* members even if we used some method more sensible than taking names in sacrament meeting. On the other hand, if they don't want to be listed as nominal members of record, I don't think it's asking too much to drop us a note and let us know. Most clerks don't have a mind-reading hat.

In the Lutheran church I grew up in, you are counted as a member if you attend regularly. Membership is not defined by baptism. It's very different from the LDS church.

Maintaining church records is a very important topic. This discussion would be more useful if it included a discussion about the different kinds of records maintained by the Church generally and locally and a discussion about the policies and procedures currently in place.
I'm not sure the point of discussing whether a person's membership should be removed, when Church policy has already outlined this procedure.
To say names "on the books" lacks the specificity required to have a meaningful discussion. Attendance records are not membership records, and there are more than one kind of membership record. One answer to the question of whether we should "clean up church membership records" and how, is to follow the procedures outlined in the Church Handbook of Instructions. Is the discussion that current policies are inadequate? Or is the discussion to inform people that wards could do a better job in following the procedures already in place?

"Most churches define their membership by who attends their meetings and wish to be called members."
No they don't, at least not when they are denominations, include multiple congregations and are reporting total membership. Most denominations define membership for those reports exactly as the LDS Church does – or very similarly. Single congregation, non-denominational "churches" are very different organizations, but even lots of them report total members of record when they report their numbers.
I read a report a few years ago written by someone within the Southern Baptist Convention that, while not specifying the LDS Church, argued that the SBC should report its membership like the LDS Church does – since the "official" reports from many of the individual churches within its organization were stretching numbers to include people who attended regularly on their own or with family members but hadn't joined officially.
I agree that there is a procedure in place already within the LDS Church that, if followed completely, would remove the general issue. If each local unit did true due diligence to find members on their rolls and, with the requested documentation, submitted those members to be removed from the local rolls – and if the holding location for "lost" members didn't send those records back to the unit of last known residence and make the process repeat – and if the names were removed from the rolls 100 years after the birth dates – we wouldn't have to have a discussion like this.
"The system" works if implemented fully, imo. It's the implementation that fails too often.

Ray, to be precise in our terminology and to clarify and avoid any misunderstanding, I understand you to speaking to issue of sending the records of members who move out of the ward boundaries, to their new ward. So, it isn't that a person is being removed from the records of the Church (i.e. excommunication). Rather, their membership records are being moved from one ward to another ward (or to Church headquarters, as appropriate). This is a completely different situation from someone's name being removed from the records of the Church.

It seems people are talking past each other, Bob, because I don't know why you think the present system can't be implemented (#24), what your point is in #26, and I have no idea how you propose to identify in three minutes the names of ward members who haven't attended in a year (#18). It's not the computer processing time, it the (literally*) endless human hours required to provide the necessary information to the computer.
The church has pretty good computers, but computers can't provide in 1/2 second or 1/2 millennium the names of everyone who attended church today, unless actual humans in every ward and branch compile and provide that information to the computer.
*and I do use "literally" literally; there would be no end to the process.

To belabor the point (as if I already haven't)…
If we go to the effort to produce and update a list of members who haven't attended for a year, the problem is not just the effort and the impossibility of the task, it's mostly the fact that the resulting list, even if complete and accurate, is not coterminous with the list of people who wish to be removed from local or general records, or with the list of people we would agree *ought* to be removed from the local or general records.

My LDS attendance is minimal–perhaps in the ward in which I reside, but more often than not when attending with relatives somewhere around the world. My financial contributions are sporadic–and to a variety of LDS-related entities. My interest in being visited by home teachers or other members of the hierarchy is non-existent. I attend a Protestant mainline church with my "evangelical" wife where I can grit my teeth as much as I ever did in a three-hour block. My interest and concern for what happens in the Mormon sphere remains nearly constant. I would like to stay on the rolls.

It's easy to equate what we heard growing up with what "the Church taught" – but they often are very different things. That's one of the main reasons why sincere members can disagree strongly about "what the Church taught / teaches" and both / all be 100% honest and accurate. The global Church and the local church (and the Church through the eyes of individual members) are very different things.

How about a vote for a few intermediate steps? The 14 million includes children of record who weren't baptized. If you are a child of record but aren't baptized within 18 years, you should be removed from the records. Similarly, the church assumes that all inactive members live to the age of 105. With today's online public records database, there is no reason not to compare a list of US inactive members to a database and remove them when they actually die instead.

Sorry Bob, but from the beginning, you've been ignoring pertinent issues brought up in the discussion and responding only by repeating yourself and bringing up points entirely irrelevant to the discussion.
That Brazil spends millions surveying religious affiliation in their census is exactly why they care even less than they otherwise would how we or anyone else counts members. They do their own count for their own purposes using their chosen method (which also has its own pros and cons), and they don't give a fig what numbers we report, what criteria we use, or whether we count at all. They wouldn't care if we stopped counting. They wouldn't care if we did the same thing they do and send a survey to every Brazilian. They wouldn't care if we electronically monitored everybody's church attendance. They wouldn't care if we reported that every Brazilian and two-thirds of Luxembourg is a Mormon. You won't find a roomful of government officials down in Brasilia tuning in to April conference every year anxiously awaiting our annual membership report. And if we we started counting some other way, they still wouldn't care. No matter how we count, they just don't care what numbers we or anyone else report. They do their own count for their own purposes. The church does their own count for different purposes, and we are under no obligation to count the same way Brazil or the Catholics or the Methodists or the Hindus or the Rotarians do. And their counting methods are all different from each other anyway.
If you want to talk about the pros and cons of various methods of counting, then we can have a useful discussion. If you want to ignore that and talk about computer speed and all the government statisticians in Brazil that you imagine are inconvenienced because we count everyone with a current membership record, then this discussion will continue to go nowhere.

In many wards that I have lived in, the bishopric does take roll during sacrament meeting every Sunday. It is done very unobtrusively, since they can see everyone from the stand. That's helpful because, beyond the total numbers, as a bishop counsels with individual members it is good to know whether they have been coming, even just long enough to take the sacrament, which is sometimes all people with health conditions can stand.
I feel so conflicted about the issue of contacting people. I think that checking with them once a year is not unreasonable. Some years ago, I visited a name on a list, and found her to be delightful. She was willing to accept an assignment as a visiting teacher, bonded with her companion, started coming out regularly as did her daughter. Her granddaughter just became a Sunbeam, which might not have happened if we hadn't made that visit.
At the same time, I have offended some folks by misunderstanding what they have said, mistaking politeness for honest feelings, and assigning visiting teachers when they didn't really want them or whatever.

As to whether it's advisable, practical, or useful to ask everyone to scan an ID card when they go to church, I say no on all three counts. We'll just have to disagree.
Political polling is a perfect example of what I referred to as bringing up points irrelevant to the discussion. The NCAA football rankings are another poll, and that's also irrelevant to the discussion. If you find either of those relevant, that's another point on which we'll have to disagree.
As to the UN or Brazil or anybody else producing a well-done study of church membership, I would imagine the church would find the results quite useful. Different methodologies will produce different numbers which provide different information. Yay for more information. If you imagine that there is One True and Divinely Sanctioned method of counting religious adherents, and that it is a shameful scandal that the LDS church doesn't use it, then I guess we'll have to disagree on both of those points as well.

Verengo has been named to 'The Build 100,' a new business index that honors an elite tier of companies that have expanded their employment in each of the past five years. Verengo has grown its solar team 700% over the past 4 years, adding 900 new employees over that period.
"The Verengo Team is honored to be named on the inaugural Build 100 index," said Verengo CEO and Co-Founder Randy Bishop. "We believe that by earning the trust of our customers, we will grow our business and create more jobs. It's incredibly exciting to be building a company that saves our customers money, makes America more energy-independent, and creates hundreds of great jobs each year as we grow."
Additionally Verengo announced that it was ranked in the top 25 on two other recently published fastest growing lists -- The Lead411 'Tech 200' and Solar Power World's top 250 solar contractors list.
"We are thankful for the recognition the Verengo Team has received this year and look forward to continuing our dynamic growth as rooftop solar gains acceptance across the nation," said Verengo President and Co-Founder Ken Button. "We are dedicated to building long term relationships with our current and future customers and look forward to playing a responsible role in America's solar evolution."
The index was created by studying the growth performance of millions of U.S. mid-market companies between 2007 and 2012. This inaugural list celebrates agile, enduring firms across a range of different industries. The Build 100 analysis began with 22 million establishments. Less than .01% of these businesses exhibited at least five consecutive years of job growth, the only statistically significant predictor of a company's ongoing success.

As a 21-year-old actor on the show "Married with Children," Applegate then shared the SNL stage with an entirely different cast, but she has many more Saturday Night connections these days.
She played a tolerant wife opposite Jason Sudeikis in the movie "Hall Pass", "Up All Night" co-star Maya Rudolph roamed studio 8-H for several seasons and SNL creator Lorne Michaels is the executive producer for "Up All Night."
"I know him and I really love him and respect him and the kind of ship that he runs here. It's really incredible," Applegate says.
The daughter of a record producer dad and singer mom, Applegate played Cher when she first hosted.
This time, she says she'll play another music legend.
"I'm playing Janis Joplin. When you look at me, that's what you think, right? But somehow they can do it here. Somehow they can transform you into these people, it's incredible.
Applegate underwent a personal transformation four years ago while starring in the sitcom "Samantha Who?"
She opted for a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
Now she's back for her second season of NBC Primetime on Thursdays, and her second stint in late-night.

One of the problems over the years with the Pirates has been player development. Add that to skimping on talent acquisition and you have a recipe for losing. We've been told that this was changed with the new management, but it's been difficult to find concrete examples of that. There's been talk of developing fastball command, but it has been less than clear what's going on for me.
Well Tim Williams has offered an interview with Jim Benedict, the Minor League Pitching Coordinator of the Pirates that really puts things in context for me.
In Part 1 Benedict talks about his schedule, long toss, and fastball command. A shock to me was the comment, "We are big believers in long toss." Who knew. He also has some interesting comments about what fastball command really means.
In Part 2 Benedict talks about Jeff Locke, Aaron Thompson, and Tim Alderson. He gives a cogent explanation of why Alderson's velocity is down; I had not seen this before. It's not the strange delivery, Alderson has had that since day one. What's happened is that Alderson has lost his "L" at the plant. I come away with a lot of confidence in Benedict and NH for hiring people like him.
Take a look. What's your take?

They're going to keep trying until someone watches the damn thing.
The New York Post has reported that Discovery Channel, which is partnered with Oprah Winfrey with her cable network, is going to spend $15 million to promote the Oprah Winfrey Network to expose it to new potential viewers.
OWN has officially called this extra infusion of cash a "restart" and this is on the top of the $200 million that Discovery has spent already so far to fund the channel.
The money will be used to advertize OWN and its programs on other Discovery Communications channels and on other rival networks as well
Since its debut in January of this year, OWN has struggled to attract viewers and ratings have lagged badly, far behind its precursor Discovery Health.
And in a unprecedented move to boost ratings for OWN, Discovery will the premiere OWN's two new shows -- Rosie O'Donnell's talk show and Oprah's "personal education" show Oprah's Lifeclass on its own channels owned by them.
The shows will air at 7pm and 8 pm, respectively, on October 10 on TLC, Planet Green, Investigation Discovery and Discovery Fit + Health.
Yet, somehow I don't get the feeling that a new talk show with one of the most annoying persons alive, namely Rosie O' Donnell, is what going to drive new viewers straight to OWN.
Dittos11 | October 11, 2011 12:44 PM
Watched the Rosie Show with her guest & was turned off by both. Not interested in either of them. When Oprah came on I was totally turned off with her talking about "ego". It was just that the two people before are the worst people with ego problems. If you can't accept them, & their problems in life, how can anyone except their own problems. Rosie & Russell both have problems & their talking & voices showed their problems. It would have been better if Oprah approached their problems & egos first before contemplating mine. I do not see this show as a success & wanting monies for programs. Any one can go to a doctor with a degree than listening to people that have problems & don't recognize theirs. Sorry, but Oprah could have choose a better subject for her first program & better warm-up people.

Lol I would rather shove 18 inch steel needles through my eyeballs than to see that show. Ooooch!
I agree w/ some of you Oprah needs to cater to AA people as well. I know she is a business woman but she needs to stop being whitewash at times and pay attention to her peeps. White ppl cannot be your friends forever.
Sergio | October 11, 2011 7:19 AM
"You don't have to be an A-hole about her."
Yes I do have to be. Who do you think I am? And she had Russell Brand on her show, the second most annoying person after Rosie? I would rather shove 18 inch steel needles through my eyeballs than to see that show
Mike g | October 11, 2011 7:08 AM
Im not a big fan of Rosie, but her first guest was Russell Brand. You don't have to be an A-hole about her.
orville | October 10, 2011 12:39 PM
I think it would be NICE if Oprah added more shows to appeal to black people. I understand Oprah is a business woman and she wants to reach the mainstream. I just find Oprah to be a bit false, why should black people bother watching OWN when she doesn't bother catering to the black audience? At least Tyler Perry doesn't ignore black people and markets his work to blacks.
Dittos11 | October 10, 2011 12:30 PM
Rosie's show today was not interesting & I was turned off by the fakeness. Because of the economy now I can not afford anything extra being a senior on fixed income. It is a bad time for Oprah to waste her monies on her OWN station. This show is a loser in everyway for me & her. SHE & her program is all wrong in timing everyway.
Ladybug | October 10, 2011 10:17 AM
Funny thing she gave up the goods before her network started: Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Nate Berkus, Rachel Ray . . .she knows what her audience wants to watch . . . why she is giving them reality shows is beyond me.
JMac | October 10, 2011 9:53 AM
Oprah's arrogance? How many companies skyrocketed to high success after being presented on her show? How many gurus got there own very popular shows after being regulars on her show? Name any other profit-making black show that lasted as long as hers and still had the ability to pull in tons of ad dollars to the very end. She rightfully deserves some of that 'arrogance.' It says a lot that Discovery wants to pump in more money to her enterprise in this economy rather than pull the plug.
Like her or not, Rosie O has a following - not just white chicks but the gay crowd as well.
Should Oprah listen to some of her previous audience member's suggestions? Wouldn't hurt at this point. Adding some more blacks shows would be nice too. She really needs to get back in front of the camera - but not this Lifeclass junk. So many things going on and she's no longer there to dig deeper and profit from it. Who else has the ability (and the nerve) to book both John Edward's ex-wife AND his mistress, get Whitney to confess to drug use, allow Monique and Tyler to discuss their childhood sexual abuse. Put the real Oprah Show back on woman! Schedule Casey Anthony or Amanda Knox or the Iran hostages or corner Michael Vick again. You know you can get them.
She can still control America but not with the current line-up.
Emmanuel | October 10, 2011 9:13 AM
This is great example of Oprah's arrogance. She refuses to except the fact that she doesn't control the minds of the people like she once thought she did.
All they have to do is run episodes of Maury from AM to PM, and those ratings will go sky-high. But OWN is above that type of programming, I suppose. Oh, well. There goes another $15M, down the toilet.
LvFlg | October 10, 2011 9:09 AM
what i'm wondering IS: what happened with the ideas presented by
all of the thousands who auditioned???? for OWN. There was/is alot of
undiscovered talent presented as well as ideas.

I've been told that Warner Home Video will be releasing the Caps' 10 Greatest Games collection on DVD on March 23, and I feel slightly uneasy about such a release. Why? Simply put, while similarly released collections have games that should have been included and weren't, I feel like such a release for this team, right now, would be unnecessary.
If nothing else, let's go through an exercise of the 10 greatest games in Capital history. Warner traditionally doesn't include team losses on the team it honors on this set, so that automatically rules out the Islander and Penguin 4OT games as being, well, "great." So where do we go from there, for my money, and in no random order, I'd be happy seeing these on a set:
- Game 7 4/16/88 vs. Philadelphia Flyers (Dale Hunter. 'Nuff Said.)
- Game 6 ECF 6/4/98 vs. Buffalo Sabres (the Conference Finals clincher from Joe Juneau)
- Game 2 ECSF 5/4/09 vs. Pittburgh Penguins (hat tricks from Alex Ovechkin and Sid Crosby)
- Game 6 PDF 4/27/90 vs. Rangers (John Druce's OT winner)
- 1/31/08 vs. Habs (Alex Ovechkin's 4 goals and broken nose in the win)
- Game 1 ECQF 4/11/08 vs. Flyers (1st playoff game/win in years)
- 3/12/08 vs. Flames (Olaf Kolzig's 300th win)
- 2/3/96 vs. Islanders (Peter Bondra gets 4 against Tommy Soderstrom in a 6-5 win)
And I run out of gas. Honestly that last one's a reach also. But other existing compilations are from teams that have, you know, won something (Habs, Rangers, Oilers, etc.). So with this pending release, regardless of how you vote, what would your Top 10 be?

Excitement on campus and around Austin is peaking for Saturday's matchup against the 12th ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys. So much so, in fact, that Texas players and major student organizations have introduced a theme that has gone viral across the 40 acres.
Let's get weird! 11.16.13 #turnupDKR pic.twitter.com/oN4nFnOXR5— Case McCoy (@CaseMcCoy6) November 11, 2013
The campaign does not ask for much, but it does request that everybody show up early, because the Longhorns are going to need the full support of 100,000 Texas fans. With the atmosphere of Morgantown still reminiscent in players' heads, it seems like they're ready to create a similar one in Austin. It hasn't fallen on deaf ears, either. The current #TurnUpDKR Facebook page currently has 4,500 fans and is growing steadily. Here is the official #TurnUpDKR video that was released on Wednesday night by the Silver Spurs:
Despite the plea for a raucous crowd, Kirk Bohls reported on Wednesday afternoon that 3,000 tickets remain unsold for Saturday's contest. It's an unusual indication that some fans are still not fully strapped in on the 2013 roller coaster.
Still 3,000 tickets remain for Texas-Oklahoma State game. #statesman— kbohls (@kbohls) November 14, 2013
Still, for a student section that takes a lot of heat for being quiet and uninterested, it's good to see some serious involvement. It's not just a student initiative though, all fans are encouraged to show up early on Saturday. If you or someone you know is attending the game, make sure to spread the message their way. It looks like Texas-Oklahoma State is shaping up to be the biggest home game of the year. Surely that's not something we saw coming two months ago.

In particular, this one line got the crowd into Booker's speech, in which he introduced the Democratic Party's 2012 platform:
"Being asked to pay your fair share in taxes is not class warfare. It's patriotism."
The Democratic platform includes a section in which the party advocates raising taxes on incomes of more than $250,000. The crowd burst into applause and then repeatedly chanted, "U-S-A! U-S-A!" before Booker could speak again.
Booker, who chaired the Platform Committee, summed up the platform as a whole through another applause-garnering line:
"Our platform isn't about partisanship but pragmatism, not about left or right — but about moving America forward."
Booker particularly highlighted the platform's emphasis on investing in education, saying that "the most critical investment we can make in a 21st Century knowledge-based economy is education."
The crowd chanted "Cory, Cory!" as Booker hopped off the microphone.
Here's video of Booker's key line:

Cliviger pub is given go-ahead to become Italian restaurant (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Cliviger pub is given go-ahead to become Italian restaurant
5:53pm Monday 21st November 2011 in Cliviger
A LANDMARK pub will be transformed into an Italian restaurant and bar after planners gave it the go-ahead.
The former Fighting Cocks pub in Red Lees Road, Cliviger, will be re-named Nino's Cliviger.
The building is owned by Ignazio Pillitteri, who has run Nino's in Bacup Road, Rawtenstall for 25 years.
Councillors in Burnley approved the plans on Thursday, with stipulations that structural features of the building are preserved for heritage reasons.
Mayor of Burnley, Coun David Heginbotham, had spoken out urging planners to approve the package as he believed it would boost the local economy.
The building will include a 100-cover traditional Italian restaurant with private dining rooms, a bar and lounge where up to 60 people can enjoy Italian tapas, and an outside area.
It is likely to create up to 30 full and part-time new jobs.
The building previously housed the Ridoy Indian restaurant and bar, but it has been empty since February last year.

The best critique and praise for Heroku is that it's opinionated: only deploy with Git, only use PostgreSQL. On the whole this is a good thing, because it simplifies the choices that developers have to make. Fewer choices means more time to spend on things that matter.
But at $200/month for a dedicated database, there's a very real cost with PostgreSQL on Heroku. For a service like Tweet Marker that is currently free, I wanted to save money on hosting and simplify things down to a single database. I might have preferred to streamline to PostgreSQL-only, since it's rock solid and Heroku's tools are excellent for managing backups and moving data around, but Resque (which Tweet Marker uses to process background work) is built on Redis. If I wanted to streamline to a single database, it had to be to Redis.
Tweet Marker as essentially an OAuth-wrapped key/value store anyway, so why burden the app with a full relational database? The handful of extra tables I had for tracking users and sessions could also be migrated to Redis. And even though it's a memory database at heart, it is persistent, so I can use it for real data.
I conducted the transition in stages:
All of this was using Heroku's Redis To Go add-on. I love it because there's no configuration; click a couple buttons and you have a server. But as soon as I was running full time on Redis To Go, I started to be concerned that I had given up a great amount of control over my data. While Redis To Go conveniently offers daily backup snapshots, it doesn't appear to have any commands for restoring data or otherwise getting access to the server and Redis files. And though I could probably set up a separate Redis To Go instance and manually send it a slaveof command to turn it into a slave, not being able to edit the config file meant that if the server was rebooted I would lose the slave until it could be reset. Not good.
I also expected I would quickly outgrow the smaller Redis To Go plans, eventually forcing the monthly pricing up to the same level as I was paying for PostgreSQL, but with less control. I had to run my own database server instead. And because Heroku is all on Amazon EC2, it also had to be on EC2 for the best performance between web server and database.
I went to work provisioning an EC2 instance. Initially it ran as a Redis slave to the master on Redis To Go. After I felt comfortable with EC2 and had automated backups in place, I added a separate instance on Amazon for the master and switched the app over to it. The cost for 2 "micro" instances is about the same as I was paying for Redis To Go, but with much more available memory, hourly backups to S3, and access to the Redis aof log. And my total monthly hosting costs are about half what they were before.
I'm hoping to keep this setup for at least the rest of the year and well into next. As the Tweet Marker user base grows, I'll bump up to higher-capacity EC2 instances. Heroku continues to be really great, so I don't expect to change anything there.
