Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Maudlin movie plays your heartstrings like a cheap cello
'TIS clearly the season for exceedingly attractive young adults in mortal peril.
Just two months ago, we had the charming Shailene Woodley as a teen cancer patient, fighting for time while learning about life and love in The Fault in Our Stars. Last week, we had Aussie heartthrob Brenton Thwaites in The Giver, risking his life for the sake of truth and memory.
And now we have the sweet Chloë Grace Moretz in If I Stay, spending the movie in a state of limbo between life and death, after a catastrophic accident shatters her comfy world.
Like all successful YA novels brought to screen, If I Stay, based on the 2009 teen tearjerker by Gayle Forman, brings with it a ready-made audience. All the filmmakers need do is cast the most appealing couple they can find and stay faithful to the story, and the kids should be happy.
It's safe to say director R.J. Cutler has done that -- Moretz is beautiful to look at, and as her rocker boyfriend, Jamie Blackley is satisfyingly sensitive and hunky. And they have good lips. This is one screen couple that knows how to kiss.
If only the dialogue worked as well. Shauna Cross's script lapses into syrupy platitudes far too often. Just as a scene is building, you may suddenly feel as if you've walked into a life-size Hallmark card. Moretz plays Mia, a beautiful young cellist whose locker at high school is lined with "I Love Yo Yo Ma" stickers. Mia's a classical music nerd. This is tough to believe, first of all because her parents are totally cool former rocker types, and even more because Moretz, with those deep eyes and perfect, pillowy lips, just doesn't look one iota like a nerd. Nice try, though -- and if she can make the cello seem cool to the younger generation, all the better.
One day at school, gorgeous Adam, a soft fringe of hair falling over his left eye just so, spies her playing the cello from a distance, and falls for her on the spot, even though he hangs with the cool crowd. He even buys tickets to the symphony for their first date. (Note to youngsters: This does not happen in any high school we've ever seen -- not even on Glee.)
Mia falls for Adam just as fast. "You know how you meet someone and they just already are the person they're meant to be?" she asks dreamily, in voice-over.
We see this happy meeting in flashback, because Mia is looking back at life from the precipice. That horrific accident has left her trying to decide, in the words of the Clash song, "Should I stay or should I go?" (The fact that the song isn't used seems a wasted opportunity.)
It's hardly a spoiler to say much of the film takes place in a hospital, and the combination of pretty girl, hospital corridors and voice-overs recalls nothing so much as an extra-long episode of Grey's Anatomy. (Meredith Grey even had an episode where she, too, crossed over into that middle ground between life and death.)
There's no question that you'll cry at some point during this film. Beautiful young people on the brink of death will do that. But the film could have done much better with a dry-eyed editor for that dialogue. Even an actress as genuine as Mireille Enos (The Killing), who plays Mia's mother in the film's best performance, has you wincing a bit when she says, empathetically, "What can I say, baby? True love's a bitch."
Stacy Keach also provides touching support as Mia's grandfather, admirably keeping a tricky bedside speech restrained and moving. But the film lives or dies (sorry) on the strength of its young lovers. And especially Moretz. Though she crinkles her nose a little too often and a little too consciously, she's enticing enough to make you hope that she, well, stays.

Jessica Jollie doesn't look like the stereotypical business woman. There's no fitted suit or intimidating brief case, no hard-edged jaw or severe hair style. She's wearing yoga pants and grinning from ear to ear the first day her new business, Yoga Landing, opens at Warehouse Row. In fact, she actually bursts out in tears when she opens her doors for the very first class (she offered free classes all day for her grand opening!) and the space is filled to capacity, if not beyond.
"I apologize," she says, wiping her eyes. "I am just so moved! So honored that you all thought enough of me to give up your Saturday and come here this morning."
Well, duh. Jessica is the kind of person you just want to be around, and if she teaches you a thing or two about yoga, all the better. She has a genuine way about her as she looks around the room and thanks everyone earnestly, beaming as she does so.
That first day the yoga room at Warehouse Row was so thick with brightly colored mats they actually overlapped. The only open space of floor was a tiny shoe-box sized rectangle against the aged brick wall where the instructors were supposed to stand. Barely big enough for two small feet, not nearly enough room for Jessica to demonstrate a down dog or a standing split or any warrior position, the instructors surely were in a quandary over how to lead the class. But that little detail didn't seem to bother Jessica in the least. She and two other instructors, Josh Harris and Allison Fellers, walked softly around the room as they spoke softly, guiding us into poses with their words, laughing every now and then, which immediately got rid of any intimidation factor. They all gracefully eased around outstretched arms and extended legs as they randomly and magically somehow found pressure points and tweaked them, massaging them just so. And those few little seconds of massage are incredibly healing.
It's the healing part that has been consistent with Jessica her whole life. A high school counselor in her former life, Jessica was all set to go back to that profession after selling her portion of North Shore Yoga, the business she helped start a few years ago.
"I had been looking for a space to open another yoga studio, but couldn't find what I wanted. Then Warehouse Row contacted me, and the rest is history," she says. Soaring ceilings, sandblasted brick, tall windows, exposed beams and free parking....the space at Warehouse Row is incredible. If you haven't been there since Nautica and Joan Vass were the anchors, it's time to check it out. From the light-entwined tree suspended over the food court to the gleaming wood floors and upscale, sophisticated feel, it's worth a trip. Even if you're not shopping or going to yoga.
A dedicated yogi for over half her life, Jessica has been practicing yoga since she was a student at UT and injured her back snowboarding in Tahoe. "I had a bulging disc and my back was completely locked up. I had a Erich Schiffmann video and that made all the difference. I haven't missed more than three days in a row since," she says.
Jessica is training in yoga therapy now, so that will add a whole new dimension to Yoga Landing. But for now there are classes taught by an impressive group of teachers including Karen Persinger, Allison Fellers, John Oehmig, Allison Foster and more. Child care is available and there are always workshops and teacher training.
In case there was in doubt about this lovely, gentle soul being a successful business woman, check out her web site at www.yogalanding.net and read the details on the classes she is offering now in yin, heated vinyasa, ashtana, athletic recovery and meditation.
Or pop by this Thursday for the Holiday Open House Warehouse Row is hosting all day. Yoga Landing will be offering local organic apple cider, as well as discounted class packages, memberships and gift cards, and you are invited to come warm your soul and spirit this holiday season.
No matter which class you do, you'll feel both relaxed and energized afterwards. Almost like you've had a full-body massage but without the price tag.

Twitter Helps Shy Students Take Part in Classroom Discussions Without Saying a Word
Twitter isn't just a place for news or idle chatter. In fact, a new study reveals the microblogging service could be a powerful tool for educators, too.
Southern Cross University in Australia allowed its students to anonymously tweet to their professors during classroom time, and those missives appeared on the professors' laptops via PowerPoint. What the teachers found is that students who were normally too shy to speak up in class with comments or questions were willing to do so when they didn't have to endure the stares of their peers.
"Twitter is another exciting teaching aide that is highly underutilized by lecturers and teachers in the education sector," said business lecturer Jeremy Novak. "Hopefully it … [will] allow those students who are less likely to engage with teachers, for social or cultural reasons, to participate."
Of course, the privilege could always be abused if students pull the comic-book-inside-a-textbook stunt and pretend to be tweeting to teachers when they're instead talking to friends.
"Teachers would have to be savvy with the technology, but if those things were overcome there is no reason this could not be used to augment teaching methods," Novak said, adding, "We don't see Twitter replacing actual class participation or interaction, but it could be a very valuable tool to add to the teacher's toolbox."

Last call before closing
Pub owners hit hard by Ireland's economic crisis
With high unemployment, a surge in emigration and rising beer prices, Irish pubs are getting pinched by the crisis, and some 1,500 have been forced to shut their doors. But one entrepreneur has found a novel way to keep patrons and hold his community together.
A thick fog blankets Kilfynn. Despite poor visibility, Mike Parker steps on the gas. It's half-past midnight, and it's been a long day. He can only go to bed once he's go John and Dan home safe.
"The two had a few beers in my pub," he says. And it would be "much too dangerous" to let them go home alone and drunk in this weather along the narrow roads that wind through the countryside here in County Kerry, in southwestern Ireland.
Once Mike has locked up his pub at midnight, his second shift begins, driving his patrons back home. On a normal weeknight, he puts in more than 30 kilometres behind the wheel. On the weekend, he can be on the road for up to two hours. Kilflynn has about 300 residents, two pubs, two churches, a general store, a small restaurant and a post office.
Out here in the countryside, there aren't any cabs. And even if he orders one from Tralee, the closest city, it takes almost half an hour to show up. In any case, taxis are too expensive for many patrons. So now Mike is offering free rides. "Without this service," he says, "I would've had to close down my pub a while ago because many guests would stay home."
Ireland's economy is in shambles, and the country is stuck in one of its deepest recessions in decades. The government is implementing austerity measures, and average people are paying the price with higher taxes and fewer social services. Many Irish are buried in debt or can't find a job -- or both.
Under these circumstances, they can't afford to spend about $5.30 on a pint in a pub, buying it instead for roughly half as much at supermarkets or gas stations. With patrons cutting back since the crisis struck some five years ago, more than 1,500 have gone under.
Parker is also feeling the effects of the crisis at his pub, which has been in the family for three generations. "Things have gotten quiet," he says, "especially during the week." The local farmers used to stop by before noon for a quick beer, he adds, but now he doesn't even open until around 5 p.m. because nobody would show up before then.
The idea for the ride service was his father's. At first, Mike was only driving a few people home. But now that word of his service has made the local rounds, he says, "some people are coming to me just for that."
Today, the pub is full. It's Thursday, and the local hurling team is playing in the neighbouring town and expected to drop by after the match. Parker is sporting one of the team's warm-up jackets, which he wears with pride.
Many people have come to spend time with the team. Men sitting around small tables are talking about the government and the bad weather. In the corner, five young people are getting their instruments out to play traditional Irish songs.
"We grew up here with this music, and we already start learning to play the instruments as children," says 14-year-old Susie Rice. Her violin once belonged to her grandfather. "It means a lot to me to play on the same violin he did," she says.
John Brennan is listening to the music and rocking his leg to the beat. "The pub is a meeting place for young and old, for musicians and farmers," the 67-year-old says. "It's not about the beer, but about meeting up with friends and other village residents."
John and his wife live a few kilometres outside Kilflynn, where he sells trucks. Business was a lot better before the crisis, but he prefers not to complain. "Many had very good years, but now times are bad again," he says, adding that's just how it is. The Irish suffer in silence.
Seven men from the hurling team finally show up, heads hanging after having lost the match. A guest orders a round of drinks for the men from Mike and nudges their shoulders encouragingly. "The golden days are gone with sport, too," Mike says. Two years back, the team won the County Kerry championship. But, these days, it's been losing one match after the next.
"We're having trouble just fielding a team," Parker says. In just the last month, five of the team's players have left Ireland because they couldn't find a job here. Three headed to Australia, while the other two are trying their luck in the United States. "The young people generally don't come back once they've left the country," Parker says.
Unemployment is a problem all over Ireland, but it's especially bad in County Kerry. Almost one in four are without work, most of them young men who can't find a job. The suicide rate in the area surrounding Kilflynn is much higher than the national average. All of Ireland is currently focused on figuring out how it can offer young people a future.
John, the truck salesman, can understand why so many young people would want to leave the country. "If I had my whole life in front of me, I'd probably seek my luck abroad too," he says. Still, he's not just worried about the young; he also frets for the old. "Friends of mine live so far outside a village," he says. "Hardly any cars drive by for days."
Social isolation is the second-biggest problem in rural Ireland. Just a few weeks ago, a television crew came to the area around Kilflynn to film a report on conditions there. It found that in many villages, stores have shut down because of the recession, post offices have been closed, and even the police were forced to shut down rural substations -- in just another way the government is trying to cut costs.
It's got late now. Whoever doesn't have far to go has already headed home. John and Dan, a farmer, are sitting at one of the tables, drinking beer and talking about milk and beer prices. Milk is cheap, Dan says, but beer prices keep going up. That's not good news for many Irish. Mike approaches the table. "I'm closing up now," he says. "Drink up and go ahead and get in the car." Mike plans to first run the two home before coming back to take the members of the hurling team home.
As the van pulls into John's driveway, he suddenly gets antsy. "What's wrong? Lose your key?" asks Mike. "No," John answers. "I remembered that. But I fear I forgot my wife back in the pub. She was standing by the hurling fellows."
On this night, Mike will have to make an extra trip. But he says he doesn't mind -- just as long as people keep coming to his pub and enjoying themselves.

Oh captain: Toews the OT hero as 'Hawks take 3-2 series lead on Blues
Apr 25, 2014, 11:21 PM EST
Maybe he got tired of Patrick Kane scoring all the dramatic overtime winners.
Jonathan Toews decided he would play the role of hero on Friday night, scoring 7:36 into overtime to give Chicago a 3-2 win in Game 5 of what's become a truly compelling first-round affair.
With the victory, the 'Hawks have stormed back after dropping the opening two games in St. Louis and now hold a 3-2 series lead.
And what a series it's been.
Friday's tilt was fourth time in five games Chicago and St. Louis have gone to overtime, just the fifth time that's happened in NHL history. What's more, Chicago has ended the last two OT sessions with goals from their dynamic duo, Kane and Toews.
Captain Serious' goal tonight came after some scrambled play in the Chicago zone — Corey Crawford punched a rebound out into traffic, and Duncan Keith's wild swipe at the puck proved to be the perfect outlet pass, bouncing off Andrew Shaw's shin pad to spring Toews on a breakaway:
That wasn't the lone dramatic moment of the night, however.
Three of the biggest stars in this series — T.J. Oshie, Marian Hossa and Alex Pietrangelo — all got their first goals of the postseason. Hossa opened the scoring late in the first period, only to see Oshie even the score midway through the second with this outrageous marker:
Ben Smith scored for Chicago to make it 2-1 with under two minutes remaining in the second, but the lead didn't last long as Pietrangelo scored 1:42 into the third period, converting a nice two-on-one with Jaden Schwartz to beat Crawford in goal.
Speaking of Crawford, he was solid again tonight in stopping 27 of 29 shots while his counterpart, Ryan Miller, made 27 saves on 30 shots.
With the win, Chicago will now head back to the United Center on Sunday with the chance to close out the Blues — a Blues team that, for the second straight postseason, is facing an opening-round elimination after taking a 2-0 series lead.

Like father, like children: (From left) Ranjit Kaur, Manjit, Darshan and Amarjit congratulating Sukhjit at the Ipoh High Court.
IPOH: Malaysia's Bhangra ambassador and Goldkartz singer Sukhjit Singh Gill has been called to the Bar, becoming the fifth member of his family to turn lawyer in the very same courtroom of the Ipoh High Court.
He was admitted as an advocate and solicitor at the High Court, completing a run that sees the father and all children in the family as lawyers.
The order yesterday was made by Datuk Zainal Adzam Abd Ghani, the same judge who admitted Sukhjit's fellow Goldkartz singer and brother Manjit in 2009.
Their father Tan Sri Darshan Singh was the first to become a lawyer in front of then Datuk Hashim Yeop Sani in 1976.
Eldest sibling Datuk Amarjit Singh was admitted to the Bar by Datuk James Foong in 2000, followed by sister Ranjit Kaur Gill by Datuk Hamid Embong in 2002.
Sukhjit graduated with a law degree with honours from Universiti Malaya last year.
He and Manjit will be off to Russia this week to perform Bhangra at the Russian-Asian Modern Culture Festival.

Atkinson Principles
Throughout his 50 years as publisher of the Toronto Star from 1899 to 1948, Joseph E. Atkinson developed strong views on both the role of a large city newspaper and the editorial principles it should espouse. These values and beliefs now form what are called the Atkinson Principles. For more than a century, they have provided the intellectual foundation on which the Star has operated and have given the paper its distinctive voice.
The editorial principles Atkinson espoused were founded on his belief that a progressive newspaper should contribute to the advancement of society through pursuit of social, economic and political reforms. He was particularly concerned about injustice, be it social, economic, political, legal or racial.
Fundamental to his philosophy was the belief that the state has the right, and duty, to act when private initiative fails. While Atkinson's beliefs were never codified in any set form, the central Principles can be summarized as follows:

scattering angleSyllabification: scat·ter·ing an·gle
Definition of scattering angle in English:
The angle through which a scattered particle or beam is deflected.
Example sentences
- In theory, the scattering angles lead to nanoscale still pictures, while the energy loss data tell researchers how the pictures change with time.
- The scattering intensity grew severalfold at the forward angles over time, exhibiting rather monotonic dependencies within the studied range of the scattering angles.
- Notably, similar distributions were observed at several scattering angles, which strengthens the validity of the interpretation.

HeroesIn the dictionary a hero is defined as a male or female with extraordinary powers of mind and/or body, mainly based in mythology, which allow them to perform extraordinary deeds.The media has they're own definition of a hero. They call the people who bring down the bad guys and save lives, the Heroes. In some regard they're right, the ones who save lives, depending on the situation, that is right in my book anyways. The ones who catch the bad guys could be debatable, but I'm talking like the big guys
the ones that make the news. When someone is that high in the hierarchy of things your views on them can go either way
so who's to say that the good guy is really the good guy, and not the other way around.And let us not forgot the ones that don't necessarily make the news, either because it's not important enough or it's not under the "Heroic" category.Who's to say that the talkative, know it all girl who sits in the front of the class, isn't

Jupiter Research finds spending is still small, but marketers are missing a golden opportunity.
Improved viewing quality and more offerings have led many marketers to try online video advertising, but their spending is still small and will likely remain so for the next few years, according to a study.
Jupiter Research (a unit of this site's corporate parent) said 65 percent of marketers it surveyed would try online video advertising this year, up from 38 percent in the past year. Trying, however, doesn't mean spending a lot. Only 25 percent plan to spend more than $50,000, compared to 10 percent a year ago.
Jupiter associate analyst Nate Elliott, who authored the report, believes video advertising isn't getting its due. "Online video ad spending is still small," said Elliott. "But that just means it's a great opportunity for marketers."
The incremental growth Jupiter predicts will still leave online video as just a smidgen of the overall interactive advertising industry, accounting for just 3 percent on online ad spending this year. That works out to about $180 million. The segment isn't expected to take off anytime soon, either: in 2005, it will account for just 6 percent of online ad spending, the report predicts.
Why aren't advertisers spending? Jupiter found 38 percent of advertisers believe the online video audience is too small; another 27 percent cited the high costs, with online video ads running at $30 to $40 CPMs.
Advertisers are correct in their belief that the streaming online video audience is quite small, according to an Arbitron and Edison Media Research study published in February 2003. It found that just 7 percent of Internet users reported accessing online video in the previous month.
Online video advertising got a boost earlier this year with the rollout of ESPN Motion, a cached online video service that can carry ads before it shows highlights from SportsCenter. According to the network, more than 1.7 million ESPN.com users have installed Motion since its debut in April.
"We have a really high demand from advertisers ongoing," said ESPN.com spokeswoman Ashley Swadel.
Top-of-the-line advertisers like Gatorade, Lexus, Intel and Microsoft have run Motion campaigns. Swadel said ESPN.com was slowly rolling out Motion to other parts of its site, including its golf section and footage of NBA Draft prospects.
"There's all these 18-to-35 males sitting at work all day that don't have access to TV that advertisers want to reach," she said.
Since ESPN.com visitors choose installation and focus on the video screen, it is the most attractive option for online video advertising, according to Jupiter, as opposed to video running in banners or even at a video destination site.
"There are similar opportunities out there," Elliott said of ESPN.com's success. "Marketers don't think the audience is there, but they're wrong."

The principal dancers from the English Youth Ballet's production of the classic fairy tale met with the children and performed a section from the show, which is opening at the Grand Opera House later this month.
The young audience also got the chance to meet with the dancers and ask questions about what it is like to be a professional Sleeping Beauty.
Company Director, Janet Lewis, told UTV: "We're all about giving opportunities and working with children.
"We felt like we wanted to introduce the ballet to the children to inspire them, give them some enjoyment and...to show them at close quarters how ballet dancers work."
The English Youth Ballet visit hospitals in every city they travel to, donating funds collected from the audiences at its shows.
Last year the company raised over £15,000 for eight Children's Hospitals in England and are hoping to raise up to £2,000 during their visit to Belfast.
The hospital's Play Development Coordinator Jenny McDonald said the children were delighting with their special guests, adding: "We haven't had ballet (on the ward) before but ...the kids were totally absorbed.
"I think the male dancer gets the rough end of the stick because everybody's looking at the ballerina and her lovely costume - it was great fun."

UPDATE 2-Mexico has not cut Cantarell oil output goal-Pemex
(Recasts with comment from Pemex reaffirming January target, adds quotes, details on investments, byline)
By Robert Campbell
MEXICO CITY, March 3 (Reuters) - Mexico reaffirmed its goal of producing 756,000 barrels per day of oil this year at its ailing Cantarell field, despite a presentation to bondholders on Tuesday that appeared to show a 7 percent cut in the closely watched target.
"Estimated crude oil production for the Cantarell project is approximately 700,000 bpd during 2009," state oil company Pemex [PEMX.UL] said in a document accompanying its fourth-quarter results presentation.
A Pemex spokesman later denied that the figure implied a change in production expectations at the struggling oil field.
"The forecast from the beginning of the year that Cantarell will produce about 750,000 bpd is unchanged," Pemex spokesman Carlos Ramirez said.
Pemex Chief Executive Jesus Reyes Heroles announced this year's target of 756,000 bpd for Cantarell in a presentation to the Mexican Senate in January.
Oil market watchers and, increasingly, foreign investors in Mexico are paying close attention to Cantarell's decline, which has placed Mexico's position as a major oil exporter at risk, threatening a major source of government revenues and foreign exchange.
Pemex has struggled to control the relentless decline of Cantarell since its production peaked in 2004 at more than 2 million bpd, nearly two-thirds of Mexico's total oil output.
Mexican crude oil output fell in January to 2.685 million bpd, its lowest level since Nov. 1995 and 9.2 percent lower than a year earlier. Production at Cantarell slid 38 percent to 772,000 bpd.
Pemex plans to pump between 2.7 million and 2.8 million bpd of crude in 2009, with the decline in output from Cantarell being compensated by additional production from new projects expected in the second half of the year.
The company plans to invest $16.899 billion this year in new oil production capacity, including nearly $2.2 billion at Cantarell to optimize production. (Editing by John Picinich)

Vito benched for Harbour battle
August 26, 2013
Jeffery Toomaga-Allen has impressed as the Lions' have begun their season with consecutive victories © Getty Images
Wellington have made wholesale changes to the 22-man squad that will play North Harbour at Westpac Stadium on Wednesday.
Mindful of two games in four days, coach Chris Boyd has mixed up the side to ensure they will be more than prepared for the game against Manawatu on Sunday.
Regular loose forward Victor Vito, John Schwalger, Adam Hill, Frae Wilson and Shaun Treeby are all set to ride the pine for the hosts' third match of the 2013 ITM Cup campaign. Lock Mark Reddish is unavailable through injury and will be replaced by Wellington club debutant Vaea Fifita.
Ross Filipo's absence from the 22-man side is the consequence for the return of skipper Jeremy Thrush who, along with TJ Perenara, have been released by the All Blacks to ensure they get plenty of game time as the Rugby Championship takes a week off.
Vito has been replaced by Faifili Levave, who was dynamic from the bench in his side's 29-10 win over Taranaki on Friday. Reggie Goodes will start in the No.1 jersey, while the electric Ardie Savea will start at No.6 ahead of Hill.
Wellington's wealth in the forwards has seen Boyd name a 5-2 split on the bench, with only scrum-half Wilson and Treeby providing cover for the backs. There has also been a positional change. Matt Proctor has been shifted from wing to fullback for Wednesday's match as Wellington try to secure three emphatic victories to put the pressure on five-time defending champions Canterbury.
North Harbour have been thoroughly competitive in their past two encounters with the hosts, with Wellington only winning their 2011 match by a point (29-28) in the final round robin game of the season. Last year, North Harbour showed they could be competitive away from home despite going down 28-34 to Wellington.
Fans could argue the scoreline that day was flattering - Nafi Tuitavake's 79th minute try reduced the deficit to six - but the slim margin showed the side won't lie down when the two teams collide on Wednesday.

Mumbai, Oct 14 (IANS) Seasoned actor Aamir Khan, known for portraying versatile characters in films, says playing half male and half female in an ad was one of the most difficult tasks he had ever done.
'It was one of the most difficult tasks to play a male as well as a female in the TataSky ad. But it was a challenge for me and I accepted it. I am very happy with the output,' said Aamir who is the brand ambassador of TataSky.
Aamir was speaking at the announcement of TataSky's new interactive feature TataSky + here Tuesday.
Aamir refused to divulge any details about the next ad for TataSky, saying: 'You will get to see it whenever it comes. But it will be an interesting one.'
On being asked about his favourite programmes on television, Aamir said he prefers to watch various sitcoms, news and documentaries.
'I also watch History Channel because it is very informative. Besides, I also like 'Takashi's Castle' because it is my daughter's favourite. We really enjoy that programme and the hilarious commentaries by Javed Jaffrey.'

Will you come first or will the blackcurrants, my little one
When they flourish in the fading summer?
We have watched them from the start, from the very beginning,
When it seemed the winter would never retreat.
We felt the wind rustle the perfumed leaves, rejoicing every day
As we passed them on the way to work and home again.
That was when you were no bigger than a blackcurrant.
We waited until we heard the robins begin to sing-in the spring.
We watched while the flowers budded, bloomed and died,
Leaving bare stalks with a vague promise of more to come.
And now, little one, green orbs populate the branches –
Abstractly foreshadowing the currents they will become,
Teasing the impatient birds and me in their bitter youth.
You, will still be waiting, inside, when I am eating blackcurrants
On my way to work.
When you arrive, little one, the birds will be lamenting the end of summer
Nostalgic for the blackcurrant harvest.
An attempt at worship song lyrics...
Your presence, like water,
Refreshes a thirsty soul.
Your sacrifice, so perfect
Brings the sinner to your fold.
Lead me to you through the crowd
Of false voices pressing in
Let me adore, on bended knee, the only king
I must not guild you in silver or gold
To understand your might,
For all that they can do,
in earthly form
Is to reflect your light.
May I, like gold, be your reflection in my life.
Your every word, like dew fall,
Refreshes a thirsty world.
All that you teach, so perfect,
Builds and shapes your church.
Let me be silent in the storm
To feel your sacred power
Let me be listening to you through every hour.

In its recent third quarter reporting, the company posted a 7% decrease in user engagement and a slide in growth of monthly active users: growth increased 23%, but that was down from 24% posted in the second quarter of 2014 and down from 38% reported in the third quarter of 2013. Consequently, Twitter's stock price has fallen in recent weeks, and the S&P downgraded Twitter's debt to junk status, describing the company's risk as significant. So, how did it come to this? Where did Twitter go wrong, and, more importantly, what can it do to right the ship and recruit new users?

iLOR, LLC has launched PreFound, a community-oriented search engine that lets people find, tag, and share information including multimedia such as video, MP3, and podcasts with each other. The Web-wide search site delivers results for any search based on what others have already found on any topic.
PreFound.com is based on the premise that people can identify relevant sites with greater precision than a traditional search engine. On the Prefound.com site, searchers type a keyword or phrase into PreFound's search box to receive a group of results. Each group of links has been gathered by an individual user or groups of users during previous Web-wide searches. Those super-targeted results are then arranged by popularity within the PreFound.com community to ensure relevant results are at the top of the list.
Another feature of PreFound.com is its ability to tag and store links to multimedia in the same space as graphic and text links. With Prefound.com's PFfinder tool, searchers mouse over a link no matter where they are on the Web and a small box appears to keep track of links the user selects. Searchers can keep the information, share it with friends or upload it to the rest of the PreFound community at PreFound.com. The PFinder tool is available free from PreFound.com and presents searchers with four options: Anchor Here, where a small window opens containing a link to the page a user left. With that window available, searchers are free to move deep into a Web site and then use the anchor to go back to the originating page without the need to hit the Back button repeatedly; Maybe, I'll Look in a Minute opens a link but behind the page a user is currently viewing; This Link is a Potential Find puts a copy of the link selected in the PFinds box to look at later and potentially save; and This Page is a Potential Find puts a copy of the page currently viewed in the PFinds box to review later and potentially save.

Pakistan Fashion Dress make new inspiration and it's good. Fashion designer Hilary Alexander finds the designers in Lahore are inspired by their land's rich history to create vivid and vibrant clothes. I was going to Pakistan Fashion Week, the two 'b' words were invariably top of the conversational agenda – bombs and burkas.
I met two full hijab and niqab wearing women in Anarkali – the bazaar named for a slave-girl supposedly buried alive by being bricked up in a wall by a Mughal emperor; one agreed to be filmed by the Telegraph's video cameraman, "because you can't see my face anyway", and the other, shopping at an underwear stall in one of the alleys, told me that the silver, purple and gold bras and knickers were "a good souvenir of Lahore."
