Yao Ming likely out next season
HOUSTON The Houston Rockets thought they had become championship contenders last summer when they acquired Ron Artest to join Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, a pair of perennial All Stars.
Less than a year later, the Rockets are rebuilding from scratch with no Artest and no idea when McGrady or Yao will play again.
The final blow came Friday, when Yao announced he would have surgery next week on his broken left foot, a decision that will likely keep him out all of next season. The team said there is no timetable set for the return of the 7-foot-6 Yao, a seven-time All Star, but that he is "expected to be available for the team's training camp in 2010."
McGrady, also a seven-time All Star, could be sidelined until next February as he recovers from risky microfracture surgery on his left knee.
Artest? He said at the end of last season that he wanted to stay in Houston – but only if he felt the Rockets had a legitimate chance to win the NBA title. He's now getting ready to play with Kobe Bryant and the NBA champion Lakers after signing a multiyear deal a few days after the start of the free agency negotiating period.
The Rockets knew some of this was coming, asking the NBA for a disabled player exception several weeks before free agency began. The NBA granted the Rockets' request, an acknowledgment that the league doubted Yao would play next season. The team promptly used the money to land forward Trevor Ariza from the Lakers.
But that's small solace to Rockets fan and general manager Daryl Morey, who called the 28-year-old Yao the franchise's "cornerstone" just a month ago.
Morey said that he isn't conceding next season, but acknowledges the Rockets are probably have little choice now but to build for the more distant future.
If the season started now, Houston's starting lineup would likely be Ariza, Aaron Brooks, Shane Battier, Luis Scola and either new acquisition David Andersen or 6-foot-6 Chuck Hayes, who played center for Houston in the final four games in the playoffs after Yao was injured.
"We don't want to take any time off, with question marks on Yao and Tracy (McGrady)," Morey said. "It's put some challenges in our way. But we don't want to take time off if we can, so we want to keep adding players like Trevor, who can help us now and can be part of young core that's going to grow together and win a lot of games."
Morey has spent an exhausting few weeks scrambling to put together a competitive roster.
Literally the minute free agency began July 1, Morey showed up at Marcin Gortat's front door, trying to persuade the restricted free agent center to join the Rockets. The 6-foot-11 Gortat eventually re-signed with Orlando, where he's backed up Dwight Howard for the past two seasons.
This week, Houston acquire the 6-11 Andersen in a trade with Atlanta. Andersen is a former second-round draft choice, a two-time Olympian and a contributor on four championship teams in Europe.

Garima Productions, Chidiya Ghar on SAB TV is currently showing a tantrik (Godman) trying to help the Chidya Ghar family to get rid of the spirits. The tantrik is helping the family remove the negativity coming in from the spirits with the best remedies but all the efforts remain futile.
Our source says, "The upcoming episodes will have a concrete conclusion to where the track of the story related to the spirits is leading to. The Chidiya Ghar family will realize their fault and will start loving each other and the spirits too. The family members will also start liking the spirits and bond with them.
In between the episodes, we will have many spooky and horror scenes and the spirits will enter everyone's body and create chaos in the family. At the end Babuji (Rajendra Gupta) will apologize to the Pandit who has come to conduct the pooja that it was his mistake. He reveals that he had committed a sin and his family shouldn't be punished for his wrong deeds."
When contacted the actors they remained unavailable for comment as they were busy shooting for the episode.

I feel like Von Flue vs. Le is a strange match up. I almost feel like they are setting up Von Flue to make Le's highlight reel because he will take a lot of punishment before getting knocked out.
Strikeforce "Triple Threat" Preview
Strikeforce is being held at the HP Pavilion in San Jose California. The card is not filled with the best fights, but in the end I think we will see some new faces emerging. The main event has to be Cung Le, especially since he trains in San Jose and has a huge Vietnamese fan base that always shows support. I'm hoping he tries a suplex or a flying scissor kick against Von Flue. Other main draws include Nam Pham, Bobby southworth, Paul Buentello, and Daniel Puder.
- Jason Von Flue vs. Cung Le:
- Nam Pham vs Josh Thomson
- Gina Carano vs Elaina Maxwell
- Vernon 'Tiger' White vs Bobby Southworth
- Duane 'Bang' Ludwig vs Tony Fryklund
- Ronald Jhun vs Eugene Jackson
- Paul Buentello vs Ruben 'Warpath' Villareal : Buentello coming off a win against Tank Abbott, should be interesting to see what is next.
- Mike Cook vs Daniel Puder
- Kyle Leviton vs Rex Richards
- David Smith vs Sean Basset
- Scott Graham vs Drew Dimanlig
- David Barrios vs Anthony Figueroa
This is probably the main event. Cung Le is an awesome fighter, most MMA fans have been waiting for him to come to MMA from SanShou. This will be his first known opponent in his short MMA career. Jason Von Flue has had a reputation for being very durable. After the ultimate fighter Von Flue has become a stepping stone for up and coming fighters. Von Flue will stand their and bang with Le. We will see if Cung Le has transitioned into a true MMA fighter.
2 Comments
Le cut open Von Flue in about 3 kicks, so it wasn't much of a fight. It turned out to be a bad fight to showcase the skill of Le for the audience.

When you look your best, you will likely feel your best. But sometimes conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) can get in the way of that feeling. Changes to your body, such as hair loss or nail discoloration, may happen when you have CKD and are on dialysis.
Others can notice theses change, too, which can affect some people's self esteem when their outward appearance is affected. But there are steps people with CKD can take to help keep their hair and nails healthy.
Hair and CKD
Like a person's skin, hair can become visibly abnormal when you develop a disease. Some people experience hair breakage or find that their hair falls out—or sometimes both. For some patients, hair problems can occur before starting dialysis or after being on dialysis. In contrast, for people who don't have CKD and lose their hair, it's usually due to aging, stress or heredity.
Nails and CKD
Both fingernails and toenails can be affected by kidney disease. Nail changes patients may experience include abnormal:
Nitrogen waste products build up in people with CKD, which can lead to damaged fingernails and toenails. Show your doctor if you have any abnormal change in your nails such as:
Why hair and nails change for people with CKD
Hair and nail abnormalities usually stem from one of three things: malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies and the side effects of certain medications.
Hair and nails are made up of protein. For some people with kidney disease, food can taste different. If food doesn't taste good or familiar, it can cause loss of appetite. This means your dietary protein sources, such as meat, poultry, fish and eggs, may not be adequate for your kidney diet. A proper kidney diet contains a good amount of protein and other nutrients that are necessary to help keep hair and nails healthy.
People with CKD are at high risk for deficiencies in zinc, calcium, iron and B vitamins. To treat and prevent these deficiencies, dialysis patients are prescribed a renal vitamin that contains high levels of B vitamins. Blood levels of calcium and iron are checked monthly and supplements are prescribed if levels are low.
Also, it's important to know if medicine you're taking is causing your bodily changes. But don't stop taking your medicine until your doctor tells you to do so. Medicines could be added or changed if results show a link between the medication and your hair and nail change.
Switching your dialysis modality can also cause changes in your hair.
What to do when your hair and nails change
If you're a patient on dialysis, speak with your healthcare team when you notice changes in your hair and nails. Your doctor may order a lab test of your blood to detect any abnormal hormone levels, such as thyroid hormone.
For the most part, hair loss is temporary for dialysis patients and will begin to grow back after a couple of months. In the meantime, here are some tips to help deal with temporary hair loss:

Art Lesson: Eric Carle Collage
Eric Carle Collage
Submitted by: Linda Wood, St. John's Lower School, Houston, Texas
White Drawing Paper (12" x 18" / 30.5 x 46 cm), Construction Paper, Prang Watercolor Pan Sets, assorted stamps, texture Brayers, Brushes, water dishes, paint shirts, texture panels, Crayons, Scissors, White Glue
Note from Judy: Tissue paper can also be used. I used tissue paper with 2nd grade
Objectives: Students will
Various books by Eric Carle - Dragons Dragons: & Other Creatures That Never Were is a favorite
Other Books by Eric Carle
The Very Hungry Caterpillar - Following the ravenous caterpillar's path as he eats his way through one apple (and the pages of the book itself) on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, three plums on Wednesday, and so on, through cherry pie and sausage- until he is really fat and has a stomachache.
You Can Make a Collage: A Very Simple How-To Book- Learn the art of collage from world-famous children's author and artist Eric Carle. Comes with 72 sheets of beautifully printed tissue, each an original design painted by Eric Carle.
The Grouchy Ladybug - Progressing through a series of brilliantly colored die-cut pages, a bad-tempered braggart becomes a nicer, happier, better-behaved bug.
The Mixed-Up Chameleon - Except for catching flies and changing colors occasionally, this chameleon doesn't find life very exciting. When a surprise visit to the zoo makes this wistful lizard realize it can change its shape and size as easily as its color, it ends up wanting to be like all the animals in the zoo at once.
DVD: Eric Carle: Picture Writer
Alternate Lesson: Still life Collage a la Matisse by Linda Woods
Have different stations set up around the room for the various techniques (note from Judy: I had monoprinting with finger paints, too when I did this lesson).
For more variety, they used these processes over colored construction papers. We treated the painting of the papers purely as an abstract painting exercise. As they painted, they put their names in the corners of their paper, and dried them in one area for each table in a Drying Rack and on the floor. As I cleaned up at the end of the day, I just swept the dried work into table folders for each table and let them make their own folders inside of the table folders to keep track of their own paper. Some of the colors and patterns were to fill 18x24 sheets from side to side, top to bottom. On other sheets, they could divide the space in half with two color ideas on each half. That way they had enough of one color or two to make a large animal with accent colors.
Students were permitted to create whatever they wanted: animals, people, houses, still lifes (note from Judy: When I did this lesson, we created imaginary animals/beasties)
Note for Success from Linda Woods:
I did this project with 2nd graders. We used Sax 90 pound paper instead of tissue paper as Eric Carle uses. They saw the video - we looked at books of his. We analyzed colors used, talked about contrast a LOT regarding textures, sizes of things, colors, values, etc. You have to plan for contrast when you are choosing what colors to use in your texture paintings that you make before you ever start to collage. I told them realistic color was not important, just paint colors that you like and then think what colors would look good with those colors and keep building a folder of your own papers that will show contrast, but also repeat colors a bit by changing the value or use those colors in a new combination with different colors to add unity through repetition. The other issue with young kids is keeping all of their papers organized. Each of my kids painted 2 or 3 18x24 sized papers. One big sheet for the background and another for the animal. Emphasize contrast here so the animal will show up on the background. I have a couple of kids that despite MANY reminders to make the two pages DIFFERENT (warm/cool, complementary, bright/dull, very textured/little texture, dark/light, etc., they still ended up painting their favorite (same) colors for both. One student loves that it's camouflaged. The first big page was supposed to be intuitively painted with colors that they loved.
We used texture sheets with hard pressed crayons painted over with watercolors. We also used those patterned paint rollers on sponges you see in Sax catalogue. Those were also used with watercolors (Prang 16 color boxes). I also had some gold liquid watercolor. I also told them to be sure to make some black textured paper to use for eyes, nose, etc. Some made black textured animal paper. Some of them used some Sax Ultra plus tempera ...great colors. Mainly when I started running out of watercolors, we broke out the tempera and watered it down. Another wonderful way to paint beautiful papers is to spray water on marker colored coffee filters laying on a white sheet of paper to catch the drips. Spray it pretty heavily and the colors bleed in incredible ways onto the sheet behind the coffee filter. We use the coffee filter papers (in radial designs) to make stained glass windows with black construction paper, but we keep the paper that they bleed onto in that same scrap box with the Eric Carle paper. They make gorgeous cut up paper in collages.
The second page of 18x24 was to contrast and look awesome with the first page. Some painted a 3rd big one before they really liked the colors of each page together as it will be in their collage. After that, we painted smaller sheets of colors for details they would make in their collages ....spots on their animal, eye color, flowers, bugs, clouds, sun, grass, water, toenails, etc. I kept reminding them to think ahead for details... try to see the picture you want to make in your mind's eye and pre-paint all of the colors of paper you will need before you collage. The good news is, there is a LOT of scrap very quickly and kids can share each other's scraps. To keep young kids with MANY sheets of paper organized, I had them make table folders and individual folders inside the table folders. Each class period, each table would put their wet paintings in their designated area (by table) in the Drying Rack. I collected the table folders on a table next to the drying rack and when the pages were dry, I just slid the pages for each table back into their table folders. The kids individually were reminded repeatedly to be responsible about getting their own pages into their individual folders. When they started collaging, I had them put their individual folders around the perimeter of the room so they could access them without tripping over 10,000 sheets of paper. I told them to just bring a couple of sheets of paper to their table at a time and keep going back to their folders when they were ready for more colors of paper. You could also have them put their whole folder on the floor under their tables. The issue is that you want them to stay organized and keep all of their pages together (not strung out all over the room). You don't want it all out at the same time on their desk, but you want it to be easily accessible for them. We spent some of almost every period trying to find someone's page that was missing. I had the kids go from table to table looking in the other kids' folders to try to find their missing pages first. Anyone who had to spend time doing this learned to stay organized after that.
When we looked at Eric Carle's work, we talked about how many pieces he used to make his animals ....separate pieces for arms, legs, wings, tails, ears, nose, etc. I demonstrated how to fold a piece of paper in half to cut a very skinny J that when opened up makes that kind of mouth that rabbits, dogs, cats, lions, tigers, etc. have. I demonstrated multiple cutting of stacked paper to make many flowers at a time, or many spots at a time. With young kids, you really earn your $$ because all of this has to be repeated so many times before they all get it.
I LOVE doing this project each year. Kids love it too. What's not to love about Eric Carle, whimsy, color for color's sake, and having so much fun while you are doing it?
Linda says "They had so much fun that they would still be painting paper if I hadn't cut them off."
See the Eric Carle art project, Mixed Up Chameleon from Bonsack Elementary. Also see some turtles by Eric Carle. Some of the thumbnail images are broken but when you click on them, all the images are visible. See the biography on Eric Carle.
Easy adaptation for Kindergarten and First Grade - from Marianne Galyk:
I have done something similar with first graders when they were studying Eric Carle and The Very Hungry Caterpillar in their regular classroom. I cut a variety of colors of construction paper into smaller pieces (6 per 9"x12" sheet). Each student did several pieces. I put one color of tempera on a paper plate and for painting utensils in each color I had pieces of sponge on a clothespin, -tips and plastic forks. (It's nice if you get the one-ended swabs so that they don't stick both ends in the paint.) Every so often I did a 3-2-1 countdown and said "switch" and I would take green from one table (with all that color's utensils put back on the plate) and switch it with yellow from another table (etc.) so that most tables would get to use most colors before our time was up. They could experiment decorating their papers with patterns, dots swirls, etc. I tried to stress letting some of the background color show through.) We didn't put any names on papers (which drives a few of them crazy the next class period because they are searching for "theirs"). I just throw them all into a big box after they are dry. First grade used them to create the caterpillar during the next class. Crayons or markers can be used for drawing. You could use them for any kind a creatures.

From Bunki Kramer, Los Cerros Middle School.
Tips from Bunki Kramer
We did quite a bit of "insect" research before we began.
Eric Carle paints on tissue paper. It really isn't too delicate because once you lay the first layer of tempera color on it, it's pretty much like regular drawing paper... thicker. We painted the first layer, let it dry, ironed it to get out wrinkles, and added another layer of decorative painting. We used all SORTS of items to decorate like finger prints, other end of paint brush to scratch lightly, splatter, dots, dashes, dabs, etc. We made "communal" papers and did 5 or more papers per student and two students stayed at the iron and ironed them all before we began. I laid all the finished papers on a separate table and kids went to the table as colors were needed. You can see our finished work at...
From a Getty list member: Have you seen the book "Hello Red Fox"? I use it with my 7th and 8th graders. The book is based on afterimages (complementary colors). It includes a brief history of the afterimage. The red fox is actually illustrated as a green fox. A blank page with a small black dot is provided opposite each image. You stare at the green fox for a few seconds, then look at the black dot and the red fox appears as an afterimage. The students love this concept.
See paper quilts by Kelly Cook from Seattle. Kelly dyes her papers.
Native American Folktale "Do You See the Raven?" by Michael Gerrish. Shown are first and last text pages. The collages were made with tempera paint on scrap construction paper, and used as abstracted images meant to help readers visualize the storyline. These images are copyrighted - shown here with permission.
Submitted by: Gina Arena
Day 1, Students will look at collages by Braque, Picasso, Matisse, Bearden, and Eric Carle. We will discuss the history of collage and its emergence from Cubism. Students will learn that collage can be abstract and represent an idea, or more realistic illustrations or narratives. They will respond to the artworks shown and analyze how the artists used shape, color and texture to convey the tone, mood or message of the piece.
Day 2, Students will take a b/w copy of a picture and use markers to identify and color in shapes, flattening the picture. This exercise will help them break down images into simple shapes. Students will use the remaining time to come up with an idea for their own collages. Students will have a choice in creating a collage illustration (like Eric Carle or Romare Bearden), or a "secret" collage (like Matisse).
Day 3, Students will create their own painted paper, using things other than brushes to paint in texture (ala Eric Carle), such as bubble wrap, toothbrushes, feathers, paint scrapers, etc.
Day 4 & 5, Students will assemble their collages.
Day 6, Students present their work to the class. Students who chose "secret" collages will let the class guess what their work is about.
Students will be assessed on their use of shape, color, and texture in their collage. They will have to answer the question: Of the artists we looked at, who's is your collage most like and why? Gina said that most students showed influence of Eric Carle. "The Gates" closely fit her objective of the lesson (to go beyond mimicking style).

Mira Nair's darkly whimsical 'Salaam Bombay' gives us a glimpse of life
in the streets of Bombay. The story focuses on an urchin nicknamed
Chaipau and the people he encounters. Through vivacious cinematography
and eloquent writing, Nair shows us the rawness of the streets and
street life. Pretty much each and every one of the colourful characters
seem to be doomed to street-life. There are those who take advantage of
the vulnerability of others and there are their victims that are forced
to live in hardship.
Most of the scenes don't even look like they were shot for a movie but rather appear as live footage. The score has a very 80s feel to it but it terrifically adds to the atmosphere. The steady pace does not allow the viewer to think of anything other than following the movie. The performances are first rate. Child actors Shafiq Syed and Hansa Vithal are spellbinding. Raghuvir Yadav, Nana Patekar, Anita Kanwar and Chanda Sharma provide excellent support.
'Salaam Bombay' is Mira Nair's rawest film. While it tells a dark story there's a very lyrical quality to it. This easily ranks as one of Nair's finest works and definitely proves her potential as she has done terrific work since (e.g. 'The Namesake', 'Monsoon Wedding') amidst some mediocre films.
Don't have to summarize the story, that's already been done many times.
Just have to say that I found the cast exceptional. At first I was
wondering if Krishna Gaipau was being played by a kid with no emotional
range. Later on in the movie I realized his stolidity was on purpose,
because when life slapped him down once too often, he suddenly revealed
the pain inside.
I also loved little Manju a lot. She was a delight and full of personality. The movie is now 18 years old, and it appears no one picked her up for more movies. What a crying shame that is. From her first impish grin when Krishna came out of the rain, and her wink while dancing with him to "Chin Chin Choo", she lit up the screen. Was she really just another street urchin? Hard to believe.
Many things in this movie do not "come out right". It isn't that sort of movie. A person needs to be ready for reality in its harsher form to take on this movie. But I think its an honest movie. For that it deserves credit.
And Mira Nair has gotten rare honors for this movie. The entire world has recognized the specialness of what she did. Someone said Monsoon Wedding was better, but I think the opposite. MW was good, but this was decisively better. Really what she did in Monsoon Wedding has been done so many times. Maybe she was a little better, but not that much. The story of Salaam Bombay has, at least in part, been told in other Indian movies, but never with this relentless realism. The directors simply backed off out of fear of losing their audience. Mira did the high wire without a net. Bravo for her!
Writer and director has done a wonderful job with her "docu-drama"
about the street kids of Bombay. Naive and trusting at first the
children soon learn the ways of the big city. They find that grown-ups
can be cruel and unjust. They can rob you of your meagre savings and
discharge you from your only job for no apparent reason. As we watch
the story unfold we soon find that our sympathies lie with the street
kids. Somehow they manage to live on the streets in this noisy
colourful city brimful of action and overflowing with people.
It seems to me there are no expensive sets or very few because the director Mira Nair has used the streets of Bombay as her true and authentic background for the simple story she has chosen to tell. I have a feeling she has a deep love of Bombay and its people. You feel it in every scene. And the splashes of colour in the streets lifts every camera shot to unbelievable heights. True artistry here.
I can imagine the people of Bombay who found them selves as a part of the moving background during the production of the film flocked to the cinemas to look for themselves on the big screen. As for myself I don't know how I have missed this film over so many years. It's a little treasure and highly recommended.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I saw this film about an hour ago...and I'll never get it out of my
head. It's a different way of life, a harder way of life that it makes
you see. And thats something that Mira Nair really hits home with - she
gives you the experience of actually being in Bombay, in the whole mix
up. If I had to choose one word to describe what I felt most while
watching this, it would be "helplessness." This really lets you see
that once you enter Bombay (no matter by choice or force), there is no
escape. This is my favourite foreign film. I enjoyed it immensely and
this film will touch everyone, because you feel like you are there.
Definitely touching and it something that everyone must see, and I'm glad that it was on TV just now because I would have probably never seen it other wise.
Salaam Bombay is hard hitting, brazen and after 113 minutes of some of
the most realistic frames to come out of the Indian Cinema, it strips
you wide and naked. One is only left with a hypocritical sense of loss
and pity.
Salaam Bombay slaps and slaps hard on our morality bearing middle class sensibility. It has shown the rubric of the great Indian society. The portrayal of the dirty fundamentals over which our great spiritual society has stood throughout the centuries, is unmistakably brazen and true. Through the lens of Salaam Bombay, the great Indian society and culture seems bloated and hypocritical.
Cinematically also, Salaam Bombay is a master piece. The atmosphere created by the camera-work and the background score deserve accolades. Mira Nair was right in saying "No Guts-No Glory".
Interestingly, even after quarter of a century, the issues raised in the movie still plagues Bombay and Indian society. Salaam Bombay is the mirror which is required to be shown to many Indian upholders of morality and society.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Some films are really different, offbeat and less commercial yet
awesome Salaam Bombay is one such film The film is based on life of
people in Mumbai The problems shown are believable. There are several
great instances like Nana belting Raghuvir, Raghuvir's chelum
Direction is simply fab
Nana Patekar before hit stardom is superb in a negative role, Shafiq Syed is superb, Raghuvir Yadav is fab as always, Irrfan Khan makes one scene appearance as a writer rest are good The director cast actual people in the role of slum dwellers which looks apt.
The movie aptly portrays the harsh reality of slums of Mumbai and in itself is an act of bravery as it depicts the real India which we Indians knowingly ignore. 113 minutes of beautifully crafted drama through which you experience the life of characters through their eyes. This was my first Mira Nair movie and I must admit this by far was the best Indian movie i have ever watched. Nana Patekar who no doubt is one of the most talented actors gives at par performance as Baba(the pimp) and there are moments when you feel frustrated but sadly you slowly accept the situation and life of street kids, prostitutes and junkies who are trapped in vicious cycle and there is no escape. Movie is very different from the traditional Indian movies and a must watch for intense drama lovers.
I am late in seeing this movie "Salaam Bombay" , but this is one of the most touching and moving movies i have every seen !!!! I cant believe the movie was made in 1988 , it was probably 30 years ahead of its times !!!!! Chaipau is the protagonists name in the movie , a small boy whose actual name "Krishna" is lost when he starts working in the streets of Bombay , serving chai. The movie goes through many different aspects of how life is for the poor and desolate in Bombaby ; the background music is also haunting to listen to. Go and watch this movie if you haven't already , its a masterclass to watch !!!! You will like it for sure
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Whilst recently reading a discussion about Bollywood films that take a
serious look at drug abuse,I was excited to find details about a film
which seemed to tear all of the Bolltwood glitz & glamour apart,so that
it could put a mirror up to the harsh reality behind the shining
As I began to read more details about what co-story writer,producer and director Mira Nair had created,I started to hope that I was about to watch something truly special,the I would not forget for a very long time..
The plot:
After having a huge falling out with his mother and brother,an 11 year old boy called Krishna is taken to a travailing circus where he is told that until he raises enough money to sort out all the damage that he has done,he must stay away from home and become a worker at a travailing circus.Hoping to raise the cash as fast as possible, Krishna becomes a part of the circus,until one day,after having done an errand, Krishna discovers that the circus has moved on and left him behind.
Being left stranded and desperate to raise the cash that he so desperately needs, Krishna uses every penny he's got to get a train ticket to Bombay,in the hope of finding a job that will give him a good wage.Shortly after getting off the train, Krishna runs into a group of street thieves and drug dealers who live near by the cities red light area.Desperate not to be on his own in the extremely intimidating city, Krishna attempts to befriend a gang of kids who are partly being used to sell drugs on the streets for a notorious drug lord/ pimp called Baba Golub.
Despite the gang members originally having some doubts over how much they can trust him, Krishna is soon welcomed into the group,thanks to being given a new nickname (Chaipau) and also due to having developed a close bond with an "elder" of the gang called Chillum,who along with being a dealer for Golub,is also a drug abuser himself.Wanting to help his new friend to achieve his goal,Chillum helps Krishna to get a job as a low paid-ed tea deliver.Feeling that his luck is finally changing,Krishana sets his eyes on the most beautiful girl that he has ever seen.who he nicknames as "Sweet Sixteen".
Unknown to Krishna,"Sweet Sixteen" is actually a girl who has suffered the horror of being trafficked to Bombay,due to Baba Golub and a madam of his suspecting that someone will pay a high price to take the innocent's of the girl away forever.
View on the film:
Having a quick listen to the DVD commentary for this movie,I was surprised to hear Mira Nair say that she wanted a sense of hope to be always in the background of this tremendous film,so that the movie would not become completely depressing and bleak.Whilst the sparingly used,melodic score by L.Subramiam does allow a sliver of light to occasionally appear,I have to admit that I found the rest of this unforgettable movie to be one of the most depressing films that I have seen in years!.
Using her documentary past as a major influence on this particular work,Nair directs the film with an astonishing attention to detail,as she allows the camera to clearly focus on all of the real chaos taking place in the various drug dens and red light areas used as locations in the movie,whilst always making sure that the events that the films characters battle with are always in the centre of the movie.
Despite the film having to attempt in drawing the viewer into a new "world" and its cast of outcasts in less than 2 hours,the elegant screenplay by Sooni Taraporevala does a fantastic balancing act of moving at a surprising pace whilst also making sure to pause and make each character a distinct individual who's despair and flaws can be seen engulfing their entire lives.Checking for any trivia about the movie on IMDb,I was shocked to discover,that although the film features "professional" actors in the lead adult roles, (such as a terrificly menacing performance from Nana Patekar, as the ruthless and cunning Baba Golub)the entire,wonderful child cast of the film was played by street children who Nair had worked with in a number of "acting workshops".
For the girl who gets Krishna's heart Chanda Sharma gives a mesmerising performance as "Sweet Sixteen",who despite having hardly any dialogue is able to show how fragile the girl is,as her innocents gets closer to being shattered into a thousand pieces.Being featured in almost every scene of the film,lead actor Shafiq Syed, (who on the DVD interview,seems to have at last found some happiness in his life,after having sadly attempted suicide a number of times in the past) gives a performance that most "adult" actors could only dream of.
In the scenes that Syed shares with Krishna's only friend in Bombay,Chillum (played by an amazing Raghuvir Yadav.)Syed displays the perfect mix of being desperate to save his friend from his addictions,whilst also trying his best to not fall into the same nightmare that Chillum has.Nearing the conclusion to this film,Nair brilliantly uses the final moments to solely focus on Syed,With the last shot being completely still,Syed gives the film its devastating knock out blow,as Krishna begins to think about everything that he has lost.
Final view on the film:
One of the most depressing and most unforgettable films that I have ever seen.
I belong to India and born in the city of Bombay(Mumbai) itself. This
is for me by far the best Bollywood (Hindi) movie i have watched. I do
not agree that Bombay is all about what is depicted in this movie.
There is also brighter and prosperous side but, what is shown, is also
not false.
It is a movie about a small village boy(Krishna) who ends up in Bombay after being left behind by his circus troupe at his village. In Bombay, he ends up in company of people who is feared by all parents. He stays in slum near a local railway station. His best friend(Chillum) is a drug addict, who ultimately dies leaving behind nothing but sorrow and despair. Krishna's love is a prostitute who is hoaxed and sold to a rich man. Krishna makes every effort to support his friend and love and earn himself some money to return home but in vain. For him, life is a serious of disappointments only broken by short spells of joy.
The movie honestly reveals that sadly sometimes in life, especially for the poor, happy ending never comes.

Geographical Imaginations and Migration
Talking about Creative Class migration influences migration. Austin is the prototype of cool, an urban ideal. The Austin school of planning and development:
Austin is widely seen as the epitome of what might be termed a hometown/boomtown ideal in North America urban policy. By this I mean that the contemporary urban policy orthodoxy in North America suggests that successful cities must effectively blend a boomtown atmosphere – a vibrant economy, usually one structured around specific economic clusters such as semiconductors and electronics, computers and peripherals, and film and media – with a high quality of life which makes the place attractive as a hometown for business owners and their most valued employees (McCann, 2004). Austin is a city with a well-developed and still expanding technology sector, a growing population, a relatively low cost of living, an attractive environment, vibrant nightlife, and a strong arts sector, anchored by the music and movie industries.
Oh, to be the "Next Austin". For the most part, Austin as a destination is reinforced. The Madisons of the world are still waiting for the Creative Class dividend. The same could said about the "Next Silicon Valley" aspiration. The Bay Area couldn't ask for a better branding campaign and other cities are footing the bill.
We're now in the midst of a backlash against Creative Class geographical imaginations. The buzz about abandoning too expensive New York City for more authentic and affordable Cleveland influences migration. A new set of mesofacts are percolating among college students:
Young artists are leaving New York and looking elsewhere
The dream of moving to the big city may be changing.
In recent years, post-industrial cities along the Rust Belt and in the South have experienced a substantial surge in the number of young people moving in. According to The Cleveland Sun, the city, despite having lost 17 percent of its overall population in the last decade, has doubled its downtown population, with a majority of these new residents between the ages of 21 and 35. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that for the first time in decades, more young people have moved in — rather than moved out — St. Louis. And according to Pittsburghlive.com, about 70 percent of Pittsburg's new residents in 2011 were under the age of 35.
This may be because people are getting priced out of cities that have traditionally been popular among young people. According to the Council for Community and Economic Research, out of the top five most expensive cities to live in the U.S., three were in the New York City metropolitan area. In 2011, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Portland, NYC and Savannah all experienced a minimum rent hike of six percent. According to the Living Wage Project, living in NYC costs $11.86 an hour.
As young people face sky-high living costs on top of even tougher unemployment rates, the big city may not have the same pull. According to a Brookings Institute study, the "Biggest Losers" in net migration of peoples between the ages of 25 and 34 was the Los Angeles Metro area, which lost 78,265 of these residents between 2005 and 2010. The second "Biggest Loser" was the New York Metro area, which lost 69,352 of its young residents.
The hemorrhage of young people from big cities may be the gain of smaller cities such as Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cleveland, Flint and about a dozen others once considered gritty industrial wastelands. Two cities in particular — Detroit and New Orleans — have risen above recent hardships to become havens for the young and the hip.
By now, the data narrative is familiar. In and of itself, that should be remarkable. However, the feting of Detroit and New Orleans is cliché. Many quibble with the analysis and express skepticism. In terms of migration, none of that matters. The young and geographically mobile have a new place fetish, a different itch to scratch.
The last recession has put an exclamation point on the reshuffled landscape. Creative Class thinking is mainstream urban planning. Cities are chasing yesterday's hot trends. The global economy has swung in favor of Pittsburgh over Portland and Hamilton over Toronto. Today's story in a college newspaperis tomorrow's migration.

Thank you for noting the trend toward "disregard of creatives" as a urban planning effect. Here, in Kansas City, we are still struggling to get a seat at the table in neighborhood planning and development! We are "Occupying" none the less!

Blackmores Lutein-Vision® is an antioxidant formula for defending eye health. It may improve the health of the lens and the macular region of the eye. It may also help to improve visual sharpness.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids naturally found in the human eye. The highest concentration is found in the macular area of the retina. They are also present in the lens.
In the macula, lutein and zeaxanthin naturally form a layer of yellow pigments called the macular pigments, which serves as an effective natural filter of the most damaging light (near-to-UV blue light) that reaches the retina.
Supplements containing natural lutein and zeaxanthin esters have been shown in human trials to increase the density of the macular pigments. Higher macular pigment density is associated with healthier eyes and the retention of youthful visual sensitivity.
In addition to absorbing potentially harmful light, lutein and zeaxanthin also function as antioxidants and may decrease the life-long cumulative effects of oxidative damage to the retina and lens.
Lutein-Vision® also contains selenium as selenomethionine, an easily absorbed form of selenium. Selenium has an important antioxidant function in the eye as part of an antioxidant enzyme called glutathione peroxidase (GSH). GSH is concentrated in the lens where it has an important role in preserving the clarity of the lens and preserving healthy eye function.
Adults – Take 1 capsule a day with a meal, or as professionally prescribed.
Children under 12 years – Only as professionally prescribed.
Opaque brown, unprinted, oval shaped, soft gelatin capsule.

A young girl on a farm in Virginia helps a runaway slave hiding in her barn. Wordless.
The beautiful pencil illustrations in this book make words unnecessary. What I like is that it is a different kind of story being told about that time in history. Not of the war or violence or even the underground railroad itself with Harriet Tubman. It is about the small things that some people did to help the escaped slaves like hide them in farmhouses and give them food and provide safe passage. The author's note at the end ties the story together well.
I really love this book. The first reason I love this book is because it tells an amazing story with absolutely no words. The entire book is just pictures.
The second reason I really like this book is because the illustrations are so strong you don't need words to understand. For example on one page you can see a picture of men riding around with wanted signs and they are looking for someone. On the next page you can see the little girl peeking out and looking with a scared look on her face. She was afraid they would find the people they were hiding.
The main idea of this book is to share a story about what life was like for runaway slaves and the people that hid them.
SUMMARY-a little girl who lives on the family farm finds a runaway slave hiding out in the barn

A young girl's courage is tested in this haunting, wordless story.
When a farm girl discovers a runaway slave
hiding in the barn, she is at once
startled and frightened.
But the stranger's fearful eyes
weigh upon her conscience,
and she must make a difficult choice.
Will she have the courage to help him?
Unspoken gifts of humanity unite the girl
and the runaway as they each face a journey:
one following the North Star,
the other following her heart.
Henry Cole's unusual and original rendering
of the Underground Railroad
speaks directly to our deepest sense
of compassion.
