No one could have foreseen how Auguste and Louis Lumière's invention would irreversibly influence Indian culture. Louis divined that "the cinema is an invention without a future," reasoning with his brother that the re-creation of a moving image on translucent film couldn't possibly be any more interesting than its actual occurrence. On July 7, 1896, the unveiling of the duo's cinématographe at the Watson Hotel in Bombay sparked a madness that sunk its betel-stained choppers deep into the haunches of the British Empire's most prized colony and never let go. Whereas Thomas Edison had pioneered motion-picture production a few years earlier with his kinetograph camera, the Lumières' device housed a camera, printer and projector in one wooden box. Bringing the means of production to poverty-stricken India was like handing an imaginative child a magic wand. In 1913, Dadasaheb Phalke produced the nation's first fully indigenous feature film, Raja Harishchandra, and thereby jump-started an industry that would later rival the Hindu pantheon in its expansiveness and infinitesimal variation.
Until the perfection of synchronized sound for motion pictures in the late '20s, Indian films employed separate recordings of classical music to embellish the action on the screen. As wondrous as the moving images were, directors of the day had little confidence in their films' ability to hold the attention of viewers, and their choice of music seemed to reflect an awareness that a large portion of the audience couldn't read the lettered dialogues. They favored compositions with brisk tempos and florid melodic lines, and sequences portraying traditional dances performed by ornately costumed actors were often worked into stories. All else aside, why would anyone want to watch a film without song and dance?
When sound-synchronization technology came to India, silent-film production came to a grinding halt as sound movies, or "talkies," quickly revolutionized the industry. The country's first full-length motion picture with synchronized audio in Hindi, director Ardeshir Irani's Alam Ara, was released in Bombay at the Majestic Cinema on March 14, 1931. Inspired by the 1929 production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Show Boat by Universal Pictures, Alam Ara is the tale of the king of Kumarapur's two childless wives, Naybahar and the wicked Dilbahar. Early in the story, a fakir predicts that the former will bear a son, and Dilbahar's jealousy leads her on a path of treachery that becomes the foundation for the rest of the historical fiction's events. The simple storyline of Alam Ara left plenty of room for composers Firozshah Mistry and Boman Irani to pen more than a few classical song-and-dance numbers to fill the epic's 124 minutes, and despite its many technical and artistic flaws, the film was a smashing success. To Irani's astonishment, huge crowds of Indians anxious to see a talking motion picture in their own native tongue mobbed the Majestic. The system of standing in line was also a new concept to many Indians of the day, and riotous crowds stormed the box office in attempts to secure tickets by any means necessary. Traffic around the theater was constantly jammed, and black-market entrepreneurs prospered as Alam Ara remained sold out for weeks at a time.
Meanwhile, the film's success caused movie moguls to rush countless new films into production. Indra Sabha, a 1932 Hindi film that contained 72 songs, is a fine example of producers' attempts to improve on a successful formula by multiplying. Directors began awarding parts to actors solely on the merits of their singing and dancing abilities, and silent-era actors not in possession of these talents were left out in the cold and faded away.
Since then, filmmakers have produced far more than 50,000 works in all of India's main dialects, and some claim that as many as 100,000 films have been created. This feat has earned the country its remarkable status as the most prolific film-producing nation on the planet; during the 1980s, the Indian movie industry was nicknamed "Bollywood." All but a few of these productions contain at least four or five musical sequences; even films based on historical and mythological events are punctuated by moments in which characters suddenly begin to sing and dance. Aside from their sporadic musical content, the prodigious length of Indian films sets them apart; most clock in around the three-hour mark. For non-Indian viewers, this can be more than a little disorienting (like watching a chimp in a dress chase a goose around a pole), but it's par for the course in poverty-stricken countries where infrequent excursions to the movies are the only diversion the common folk can afford. Indian filmgoers expect maximum bang for their rupee. The feeling is that if money is going to be spent on something as frivolous as entertainment, it had damn well better thrill the hell out of the entertainee for a long time.
"People don't really have TV's in India. I mean, it's a poor country," says Richard Pereira, an Indian-Portuguese native of Bombay who now lives in St. Louis. "It costs about 80 rupees to see a film in India, and that's about how much most Indians make in the course of a few weeks. In Bombay, I remember seeing them block side streets and stretch giant white sheets between two buildings. It happened for festivals and holidays a lot. You'd have hundreds of people sitting cross-legged in the middle of the street on both sides of the sheet, watching opposite sides of the same image. The films would break down a lot, and the crowd would always jeer until they were fixed. It was quite a scene."

|"From acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro comes "one of the most exciting and visually impressive adult-audience fables since THE LORD OF THE RINGS movies". Following a bloody civil war, young Ofelia enters a world of unimaginable cruelty when she moves in with her new stepfather, a tyrannical military officer. Armed with only her imagination, Ofelia discovers a mysterious labyrinth and meets a faun who sets her on a path to saving herself and her ailing mother. Soon, the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur, and before Ofelia can turn back, she finds herself at the center of the ferocious battle between Good and Evil."
Editor's NoteWritten and directed by Guillermo del Toro, PAN'S LABYRINTH is a thrilling, violent fairy tale set in post-Civil War Spain. Ivana Baquero stars as Ofelia, a young girl who moves with her mother, Carmen (Ariadna Gil), into the home of Captain Vidal (Sergi López), in an abandoned mill in the middle of dark, dangerous woods. Vidal is leading his team of soldiers against resistance fighters--and he will do whatever is necessary to kill every last one of them. As Vidal bosses around the pregnant Carmen, a flying creature leads Ofelia through a garden labyrinth and into an underground cave ruled by Pan (HELLBOY's Doug Jones), who believes that Ofelia might be the lost princess of this strange yet magical place. To prove she is royalty, Ofelia must complete three tasks, each more difficult and terrifying than the previous one. Meanwhile, Vidal is becoming more and more paranoid, torturing and murdering seemingly at will. Del Toro (THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE, HELLBOY, CRONOS) creates a marvelous battle between good and evil, between heroes and villains, in both the real world aboveground and the mystical land below. Baquero gives a compelling performance as the terrorized Ofelia, who is befriended by Mercedes (Maribel Verdú), a woman who harbors some secrets of her own. Stellar production design, superb special effects, and a stirring score by Javier Navarrete add to the scary fun. Selected as the closing-night entry in the 2006 New York Film Festival, PAN'S LABYRINTH is a captivating story that is not for the squeamish.

LI Wedding Halls - What is a Foodie to do?
I don't think I have ever been to a wedding on LI where I though the food was great - it's more about quantity (am I asking for to much if I want the food hot and properly cooked?!?!?) Well, I got engaged last month - so I am in a bind.... Where am I supposed to get married where my guests and I will be impressed with the food.
The food I've had at affairs at Giorgios in Baiting Hollow has always been way above average. And if you want to spend big bucks, check out Louis XVI in Patchogue. Both of these venues have gorgeous views as a bonus.
I went to a wedding at Flowerfield a few years ago and was not impressed at either the facility or the food. I went to another one at Watermill about 2 years ago and the food was definitely better than typical catering hall food and actually quite nicely presented, though definitely not looking super-duper fancy nor tasting super gourmet-unusual. I have been to some affairs at some temples--Temple Avodah in Oceanside does a fabulous job and is competatively-priced, given what they give you.
It would be helpful to know what part of the Island you are looking at, approximate # of guests and approximate price range you are thinking (remember, you will have to pay tax and also a gratuity of 12-20%, depending on the hall).
re: Shayna Madel
We have been to the Watermill a few times. The last time, the food was so bad that it was inedible. They should chop off the hand that the chef uses for the salt shaker. Other times the food was just awful.
They also do a cute trick if it is an outdoor cocktail hour. when you come back in, they tell you that you cannot get a drink until they do the toast by the best man. After an hour elapses, you can get another drink. Meanwhile, people have paid for bar and table beverage service.
re: Fred19
Boy how things must have changed in the last 2-3 years. What a shame. As catering places go, I sorta liked this one the one time I was there for a summer wedding.
re: Fred19
We went to a wedding at the Watermill and we were shocked... We pulled up to this beautiful place and we were prepared to be impressed but that never happened. The cocktail hour did not have a lot of options and the what was there was not cooked very nicely. Our main meals were all not cooked properly. They only way they serve a steak is Burned.
You might try the combination of Coindre Hall in Huntington, LI and Philip Stone Caterers (used to be in Lake Success but they moved-not sure where). Food was excellent and venue very nice
I got married 11 years ago at Timber Point managed by Lessings and my guests raved about it and the food. Now I would probably pick one of their newer, nicer architecturaly properties (bourne mansion has a gorgeous room with high ceilings) but do recommend you look into them. We were able to do a tasting before we signed our contract.
Also, as I said in another thread the local boards on www.theknot.com can be helpful.
re: coll
My sister went to a wedding at this place and really liked it. You might want to poke around on the boards at www.liweddings.com.
Try the Harbor Club in Huntington - they mainly present themselves as a place that knows how to prepare food, and from experience (my own wedding and several other events there over the past 5 years), the food actually is good enough that I'll actually save room for the main course there.
I'm with you. Been to many weddings on L.I. and never came away raving about the food. Two weeks ago attended a wedding at Russo's on The Bay in Howard Beach. OMG. The food was incredible. It's about 10 miles west of the Nassau border. If that fits your parameters give it a try. The room was elegant and service 5 star.
I got married at The Roslyn Claremont Hotel. The food was delicious at the tasting, but the wedding itself was a blur. I also remember that the Oheka Castle had an upscale menu & a faboo tasting. I saw an ad in the sunday NYT for Trumps Jones Beach place. Wonder what the food will be like there.
re: monalisawoman
Good thing about the Roslyn Claremont is that it's a place where out-of-town guests could stay and not far from shopping for guests to kill down-time during the wedding weekend...Fabulous $$$ bakery, Diane's, at the other end of Old Roslyn Village.
I hear Oheka Castle has a MAJOR location fee, but is beautiful. Not sure about the food.
I saw the same Trump ad--booking for 2009. I would be nervous about the Trump thing, as he's still fighting with local authorities about architectural plans. Yeah, buildings can be put up pretty fast, but I would hate to take the risk of booking a place where the plans aren't even final. And how do you do a tasting for a place that hasn't been built yet and has no staff? (My sister gambled and booked her son's bar mitzvah reception for a temple ballroom then not yet built, but at least had tasted the caterer's food at another reception.)
re: Shayna Madel
I was at a charity event at Oheka Castle and the food was horrific. Pigs in a Blanket and mini-egg-rolls bad.
re: monalisawoman
I find it hard to believe that Oheka serves pigs and egg rolls at all of their events. Maybe the person who chose the menu figured they would pick "crowdpleasers," rather than chowhound pleasers. Or maybe someone ran so far over budget by picking that location that they cut whereever they could when it became too late to change the expensive location. Or then, there are those who actually want the pigs, black-tie affair or not, like my brother-in-law.
I don't think it's a bait and switch to have things at a tasting that are a costly upcharge. There are almost always going to be choices you can make that are more elaborate and result in an upcharge. Sushi makers (live, not just pre-made platters) at the coctail hour? Chilean sea bass? More elaborate than usual wedding cake? I guess the lesson on this one is to insist on seeing menu choices and asking what upcharges might be before the contract is signed, so you have an idea of what's coming down the road.
re: Shayna Madel
When I was planning my wedding, mind you this was 8 yrs ago, you had to find separate catering for Oheka Castle. They would give you a list of vendors that they had success with at other events but it was ultimately your choice. The location rental fee's were crazy even back then so we chose the Watermill, of the Scotto properties we liked that one the best. You can choose to make it as fancy as you'd like. We got decent reviews on the food but I must recommend that you insist upon a tasting prior to picking your menu anywhere. That wasn't offered to us and I was too young and naive to insist upon one.
re: LaurenNJ
I just peeked at the Oheka site and though they do mention having an executive chef and an executive pastry chef, it's anything but clear as to what the story is about who does their catering. And what's more galling is that they charge a $500 "approval fee" if you use a vendor not on their list of approved vendors. Frankly, that's offensive and ridiculous. What the heck would they be doing except reviewing an insurance certificate?
I really liked the wedding I went to at Watermill a few years ago and thought the food was good, especially as catering places go, particularly the cocktail hour.
re: Shayna Madel
Carltun is gong to be the caterer at Jones Beach, so you could try the food at Eisenhower or Bethpage.
I wouldn't worry about the place going up, it's hard enough for the state to get concessionaires with all their weird demands, if anything Trump would back out which I don't see happening. This is a big ego thing for him! If they're advertising, it's probably a done deal.
re: coll
Agreed that the whole project is a major ego thing for Trump. And it seems the food issue is "solved," if there is a signed and sealed contract with the caterer, but given that there is still haggling going on over construction plans, the design of the structure could change and there still is no guarantee as to that the construction will be done on time. And all a performance bond does is put money in Trump and/or Carltun's pocket if the construction isn't finished. I would hate to be scrambling for an alternate location 6 weeks out when my invitations should already be in the mail. Too many other things to be dealing with. Just a thought--are the ads a ploy to try to steamroller the authorities to have things go Trump's way?
re: coll
FYI.... Trump's partner at Jones Beach is Steven Carl who operates Carlyle on the Green at Bethpage State Park. And in reality, Carl is the one who got the contract based on his performance at BSP and brought Trump in as the builder. Carltun on the Park at Esienhower Park is operated by Anthony Capetola, John Tunney and several other partners, although Tunney has been spending most of his time with that burger joint he's been developing in Huntington.The two companies, Carltun and Carlyle, are not related. At this point in time, with Trump threatening to sue New York State over being denied permission to build a basement, I don't think anyone should be considering booking an event at the Beach especially for 2009.
Being in the restaurant and catering biz for a long time, I have heard and seen it all when it comes to weddings. When it comes to booking a venue, look for a place that is a restaurant and caterer. Why? These places generally give a more personal touch. The big factory caterers and their salespeople are only interested in filling up dates and making commissions. Also, restaurant/caterers tend to do only one event at a time and because the restuarant portion is open to the public, you can go in, eat dinner and be in a position to observe what's going on with the wedding or event happening. The only other thing I can say is to be realistic in your expectations. Unfortunenately, expectations often exceed what's delivered so make sure you are specific in what you want and that you get it in writing. One more thing. you have a better chance of getting every thing you want if you book out of season. outside of the spring and early fall, places are looking for events to book and are more willing to make a "deal" Good Luck!
re: tastelikechicken
Following up on tastelikechicken's post (love that name btw) my second choice for wedding venue was George Washington Manor in Roslyn. I did not pick it because I felt the room was too small for my wedding, but we did do a tasting in the restaurant and the food was good. The room is or was very nice also.
re: GCGuy
Never went to a catered affair there, but have done the Sunday brunch buffet thing there several times over the years. Food great. Staff seems to be top notch, friendly and attentive.
I hear Russo's is fabulous also. I am sure it is not inexpensive, but may be more approachable than the Garden City Hotel.
re: Shayna Madel
When I was married in 2001...it was $110 plus -> $150 or so per person for Sat night. My friend's was over $200pp in the GC hotel. Of course, Russo's must have gone up in 6 years, too.
re: GCGuy
Given that Sunday brunch at the Garden City Hotel is $60pp (or was when Mom turned 75 a year ago), $200pp doesn't shock me for Saturday night there, nor does the price you mention for Russo's. If anyone thinks these prices are ridiculous, just try Kosher at GCH or any of the temples along the north shore of Long Island, in season. Scary. 18 years ago, my sister was quoted $135pp for summer and decided that $85pp in the winter was much more appealing.
re: Shayna Madel
It IS scary. If i had it to do all over again, i would have a clambake & invite EVERYONE. Seriously.
as a long island native, i can agree that most of the traditional catering halls/wedding venues are pretty bad, food-wise. now that i've been looking for my own wedding, i've come across a few venues where the food is a major highlight of the event. specifically, the de seversky center in old westbury comes to mind. the old mansion is on the nyit campus and the catering is done by the professional culinary staff on the grounds (the instructors of the culinary school, not the students.) i've been to an event there and the food was fabulous. and i'm a bit of a foodie, myself.
in general, steer clear of large catering places and check out smaller, more personal venues. de seversky can do about 200 people inside, and it amazingly beautiful to boot.
re: robinsilver
Elegant Affairs catering is top notch.
Here is a post of mine from 2005 if HIGH end gourmet Kosher is wanted...4 star quality....and I've never been to a wedding with kosher food that I ever liked, except for this one that I describe below..........also been to many of the banquet places all over LI from Leonards, and the rest of the ilke, crest hollow, etc...many of them, and they all sucked.
I've reccomended them before, and I will gladly do it again, the best, and most elegant wedding I have ever been to was last May in Melville, Long Island at Temple Beth Torah--caterers were Morrell Caterers, food was like a 4 star restaurant, amazing stations, absolutely high end gourmet kosher, have never, and I mean never mean to a kosher affair like this one---took their card, it's rare to actually have great food at a wedding, and this was one---
here's their website---www.morrellcaterers.com
I believe they do offsite catering--very nice people, ask for Tom Cataldo, he's the gentleman I spoke with who runs the show.
Janie Jan 06, 2005 01:44AM
I'd say Oheka. Sister had her wedding here. Food was good-v.good.
Or check out Altantica in Westhampton Beach
i was married at hamlet willow creek- i thought the food was fantastic
sister was married at oheka- if you have $300-400 per person to spend, go for it.
I went to 10 weddings this summer (the majority on Long Island) and the best one by far was at ATLANTICA in West Hampton. The food was amazing (I had the duck and it was incredible). They served intermezzo sorbet in baby ice cream cones on the dance floor too! The only thing I was undeimpressed with was the Venetian hour - very small and desserts were nothing special. Hope this helps!
The Culinary Studio in Huntington catered my wedding at the Vanderbilt Mansion. The food was very good. Not typical wedding garbage, but actually good, quality food and they are very professional. I'm sure they would travel the hour out east. Website below...
Several people have asked what part of Long Island and the poster has not replied. I'll throw in my 2 cents anyway. Last night I was at Windows on the Lake, in Ronkonkoma. The place was nice and the food was good. It was better then most catering halls I've been to. Had a good prime rib and the people that had the chicken said it was also good. The Chef did a nice job on the penne' ala vodka too. Prices were reasonable.
We went to a wedding at Land's End in Sayville, and I thought everything was wonderful. The setting is gorgeous, and the food was excellent.
re: davmar77
I am sorry but this place, which is in west islip, is a time warp and highly not recommended. Stay far away from this place. Food is not remotely good. I wouldn't even recommend this place for a Friday night dinner, nevermind a wedding. If you are looking to go this route at least head to Riverview in Oakdale/Sayville. Or Timberpoint Country Club. All of these places are nowhere near in the league of Oheka, Tierra Mar, etc....
re: jenniebnyc
I agree about La Grange, it's a very depressing place, better for a funeral. We used to have meetings there often so I got a good feel for the place. Sometimes we'd have meetings at Gatsbys in Islip instead, and it was like day and night, what a beautiful place with wonderful food. I think they do weddings....
re: jenniebnyc
We went to LaGrange after a funeral and it was appropriate. The word is that they are either closing or reducing their size in the near future.
re: Fred19
i had heard they changed hands so i can't say much.when we were there,it was actually fine but things change.believe me,we wouldn't have considered it if it was anything like the comments i'm reading now.
We just had our sons wedding reception at The Metropolitan in Glen Cove. Friends were calling to tell us how wonderful the food was. I didn't eat any of the hor dourves as I was busy greeting people, but the dinner was wonderful. Ask for Eileen Long. She was very helpful.
I don't know if this suits your needs, but how about setting the venue yourself? We had my daughter's wedding at home. Rented a huge tent (2 actually--good, if you have the room for 2) and call a great caterer. I just happen to have one for you, too! Richard G. Allen Co. is, for my money, the best. The wait staff is amazing--great kids. You can supply the alcohol and mixers, or have him do everything. The duck spring rolls and Thai chicken lollipops were fantastic starters! 516-747-8855. We liked him and his services so much that we've used him for other private parties since. In 2 weeks, we're going to simply take-out from his storefront in Mineola.
re: RickTheClamBellyFan
If you do it at home you have to rent everything, tent, tables, chairs, portapottys, and a floor for the tent (trust me my cousin skipped this and it was a mud fest), etc.
When my children got married, we resarched the catering halls (no great food) and the idea of renting and "event"space and bringing in a catering (very expensive) and then decided to focus on restaurant with very good dining ratings -which had some rental space for 150 people or so, and found the whole experience to be a painless one and we were very confortable that that the food and presentation would be good, etc. And it was...
re: Nathaniel Siegel
That sounds like the best bet.
In my experience,the bottom line with all these places that everybody is familiar with on the island is what you pay is what you get and a cnote these days gets you sandwiches and soda.
re: NJfoodLover
Leonards of Great Neck is hideous.
re: janie
OMG that brings back memories of a long-ago company dinner. There was a wedding going on in the next room, and the girls wore gold lame wedding dresses and enough hair spray to blow up the place, if a cigarette had gone missing.
The food as I remember was an Italian buffet, about on a par with an Olive Garden, but the canolis were good.
Have you had any luck with this? If not, i would check out the Old Field Club near Port Jefferson.
I've been working on events for a while on Long Island. And only a few places stick out in my mind in terms of food:
Carltun on the Park - Eisenhower Park. Excellent, different food. Beautiful atmosphere.
Garden City Hotel - Top notch food, beautiful setting and EXCELLENT service.
Fox Hollow - Haven't been to eat since the huge addition of the hotel, but the last time I was there (10 or so years ago) I remember being impressed.
That being said, my own wedding was at of all places a Sons of Italy that does catering. It's very "Column A, Column B" but the food was well prepared and delicious. My friends still talk about the food from my wedding. It's called Marconi Manor in Islip.

Second busted spoke in three weeks this morning, 2 blocks into my 3 mile ride (walked today... walking sucks) to work. So now I'm having it rebuilt as a 4 cross. Anyone else here have 4 cross on their rear wheel? How's it hold up?
Second busted spoke in three weeks this morning, 2 blocks into my 3 mile ride (walked today... walking sucks) to work. So now I'm having it rebuilt as a 4 cross. Anyone else here have 4 cross on their rear wheel? How's it hold up?
no spoke wrench in your bag? even w/ low spoke count wheels i can fudge it enough to get me to my destination... sucks regardless!
2nd busted spoke in 3 weeks....damn...who is building these wheels?
I don't think it was the builder, it was my fault. I wanted that pattern even after I had been gently steered away from it. Radials on a fixie rear wheel just aren't a good idea. I knew that when I had the wheel built, I just thought it would be different for me.
wait...u built a radial rear wheel?
No, I built a crow's foot rear wheel.
Ah, that'd be the problem. Torsional force means you have to have a cross.
Flannigan, Finn Mac, Tim Finnegan, Nicholai Ivanich
Words: Going Underground, Pedicabs After Dark, Thanksgiving Via The KATY Trail
Pics please when it's finished, I wanna see what a 4x fixed wheel looks like.
Your spokes aren't breaking from the lacing pattern. Crow's foot is a STRONG pattern. It's something else. Which spokes are you breaking? Leading, trailing or radial?
Radial, on the rear wheel. My front wheel is fine. And again, you could be right about it not being the lacing pattern. Just sayin', people told me this would happen.
Also, brakeless probably had something to do with it as well.
Broken spokes are generally a sign of an under tensioned wheel. I would have the builder take a look at it and go over it with a tensionometer. Also, brakeless should have no bearing on the situation at all.
I'm not one for fawning over bicycles, but I do believe that our bikes communicate with us, and what this bike is saying is, "You're an idiot." BikeSnobNYC
We used the tensionometer 3 weeks ago after the first spoke broke. And brakeless could very well have bearing, I'm apply force against the direction of the wheel, and the spokes are caught in the middle. Just a guess, I don't really know.
I'm willing to bet the lacing IS the fault...did you pinch the radial spoke between the crosses? The radial spoke should be outside the rest...here:
It sounds like a poor build that's all.
Never said I was looking for answers. Just sharing my experience about my crow's foot wheel. I think it's ironic that when I was talking about building the wheel, people were advising me against it and now that what I was told then is happening now people are saying it isn't the wheel. Anyway, sp00ki, you seem to pick a bone with me pretty often. What's up with that?
yep...the crossed spokes are putting lateral tension on the radial spoke...not good...the radial spoke should be OUTBOARD of the cross.

President Riccardo Fraccari issues Statement to emphasize Importance of Women's Baseball

The President of the International Baseball Federation, Riccardo Fraccari, issued the following statement leading up to the July 30th IBAF Executive Meeting that will take place in Panama City:
"As has been well publicized in the media after the decision of the Olympic Council of Asia to accept softball onto the Asian Games' program as a discipline of baseball, there have been some recent developments and discussions with regards to our colleagues from the International Softball Federation (ISF). Of course, this important theme will need to be expanded upon in Panama and at the eventual Congress later this year, although currently, it is safe to say that there is a general consensus among IBAF's constituents to work with the ISF to solidify the 2020 Olympic Reinstatement Campaign, especially after the OCA announcement. At this point, I would like, however, to bring attention to and underline the IBAF's commitment to women's baseball, which seems to have been overshadowed in all of this.
"First off, I would like to clarify that any eventual single candidature between baseball and softball for the 2020 Olympics will not undermine IBAF's plans to sustain and develop women's baseball. There is no doubt that women's baseball will have to play an important role if our sport is to become truly universal. Thankfully, Women's Baseball within the framework of the IBAF is well-positioned for growth, and as a result, the IBAF remains devoted as ever in developing baseball among female athletes of all ages.
"The IBAF International Events Calendar will be one of the most important agenda items analyzed in Panama City. I can confirm that new projects are being examined, including the realization of a Women's World Junior Baseball Championship. I do not want to go into too much detail during the conception phases, but it's worth noting that there have been dialogues about organizing continental championships in order to further stimulate growth and meet the needs of all our athletes. The Toronto 2015 Pan-Am Games Local Organizing Committee is developing a sound proposal for Women's Baseball to be put onto that program in Toronto, and we will be paying close attention to the decision on this important matter.
"Looking into the 2012 Women's Baseball World Cup, Baseball Canada has been awarded the rights to host this event, as this competition returns to Edmonton, the city where this event was born back in 2004. Obviously, without looking past this event, I would like to simply point out that there have already been overtures to host the 2014 Women's Baseball World Cup, so the IBAF will need to take this into consideration as events are mapped out over the long-term.
"Regarding non-IBAF sanctioned Women's Baseball events, the IBAF commissioned the creation of the Phoenix Cup "Defender" Trophy, which was donated to our colleagues at the Hong Kong Baseball Association in an effort to help build a tradition. This trophy was first put into play this year, and in 2012, the tradition of defending the trophy can begin.
"So this is no doubt an exciting time for women's baseball and for women in sport in general, and the IBAF is intent on providing as many opportunities as possible to all the athletes in the international sports community and especially within our international baseball family."

This is a pick based on the expectation that housing starts will pick up to the previous estimated levels prior to the tough winter. Stock is beaten down--good entry point.
This major forest products company produces oriented strand board (OSD), siding, and engineered wood products.
We recently upgraded our recommendation on the shares to strong buy, from buy. As LPX is a major producer of wood products, its results are closely tied to residential construction. We expect improvement in this market in 2013, and OSB prices should stay relatively high due to the increased housing activity and reduced industry manufacturing capacity. During the recent extended downturn, LPX made several moves that improved its financial liquidity and reduced interest costs. We believe LPX has strong profit potential as demand recovers, due to the cost reductions it has made and its underutilized capacity. We view LPX's valuation as compelling at current levels.
Our discounted cash flow model, which assumes low capital expenditures again in 2013, strong cash flow growth over the next several years, an 8.7% weighted average cost of capital, and 4.0% growth in perpetuity, shows an intrinsic value of $23, which is our 12-month target price.
We project that revenues will rise about 25% in 2013, followed by an increase of 12% in 2014. In our view, recent data are showing that a recovery in the housing market is continuing, with housing starts rising gradually, unsold inventories falling, and prices increasing in most parts of the country. Standard & Poor's Economics forecasts a 28% increase in housing starts in both 2013 and 2014. This would likely lead to better demand, and generally high prices for oriented strand board (OSB), in our view.
LPX has made significant cuts in both operating and administrative costs, and we believe it has low-cost manufacturing facilities. We expect that higher housing starts will allow it become solidly profitable both this year and next, following its return to profitability in 2012 after several years of losses.
Housing rebound, lumber rebound, Sandy rebuilding, growing population, low housing inventory
Unprofitable, and margins need to rise too much.
Louisiana-Pacific Corp (LPX)
A manufacturer and distributor of building products. The Company operates in three segments: Oriented Strand Board; Siding; and Engineered Wood Products.
LPX is down 40% from its 52W high, but up approx. 450% from its March 2009 low.
I like it a lot. My kind of value play.
As our housing market imporves so will LPX. Also, LPX could also supply China and other developing markets.
No, no, no, no, no. I hate this for the same reasons I hate HOV, SPF, and the rest of those hellacious companies participating in this recent homebuilders' bubble. Well that and the inclusion of the word "Louisiana" in its name. Louisiana, I think, is our version of Greece. Filled with lazy people. Just a dirty, nasty place that thinks it has cultural assets. And which may indeed have those, but a dirty, nasty place nevertheless.
Late to the party again. There are just too many stocks in this world to keep up with. With the current economy, I feel like a lot of stocks are such excellent buys that I am finding a lot more Green Thumbs than the Red... even if I'm coming in at the 52-week high!
P/E is low, decent compared to 52 week high, P/B is low, we have to start building again soon, I think LP is in position to give us a ride.
Could be sold to WY soon.
maybe `cause hurricane season's on the way, and folks need more plywood...it's solid and moving
Inverse Ratio: Unemployment UP = Housing starts Down
This stock is trading at an all time low and they have a market leading product line when the market turns up in any way. This is a great long term play.
No positive earnings on the horizon and only small growth expected even in the long term.
new housing still week
As soon as the house crisisis over this stockshould take off. Also, lean hogs are at its 5 year low, and several experts see a trend change with prices going up, which will lead to more profits for Louisiana Pacific.
Dillon says buy
We are not going to stop buying wood anytime soon.
Super Value

RAPID CITY, S.D. (June 3, 2014) – South Dakota School of Mines & Technology Vice President for Research Jan Puszynski, Ph.D., received the Life Achievement Award from the Navy and Air Force Cartridge and Propellant Actuated Device (CAD/PAD) Joint Program. The award was presented during the 10th Technical Exchange Workshop held May 20-22 at Andrews Air Force Base, which is now a joint base with Naval Air Facility Washington.
Puszynski, who earned his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the Institute of Chemical Technology in Prague, has been with the School of Mines since 1991, first as a chemical engineering professor and then a college dean. Previously he was a research professor at State University of New York at Buffalo.
Puszynski's expertise is in reaction engineering, energetic materials, materials science and mathematical modeling of reactive systems. He has served as principle investigator on several research projects funded by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technical Division, Indian Head, Md., and other Department of Defense organizations.
"The Navy and the Air Force use explosive components to save lives in emergencies for things like ejection seats, clearing escape paths, extinguishing fires and deploying certain types of parachutes. Dr. Puszynski's research has made these devices safer, easier to manufacture and more reliable," said Heather Wilson, president of the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology. "We are very happy that he has been recognized for his contributions."
Spending two sabbatical terms at Indian Head, he assisted in designing, building and testing a new way to produce aluminum nanopowders using a low pressure evaporation/condensation process. He was later involved in development of a new environmentally benign propellant replacing ammonium perchlorate. Puszynski was also responsible for troubleshooting key technological aspects of production of propellants for CAD/PAD devices.
In 2001, Puszynski and a team of researchers from three other U.S. universities received the Defense University Research Initiative on Nanotechnology grant from the Army Research Office, and his research group joined the Department of Defense Center on Nanoenergetic Research.
In 1999, Puszynski established Innovative Materials and Processes, LLC, a company that has grown with numerous direct contracts and projects funded by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Army. Puszynski and his team developed an automated process of water-based mixing and precise metering of nanothermite slurry into application hardware. Recently, this integrated process has been considered by the U.S. Army as an alternative technology for future large-scale production of small- and medium-caliber primers.
He has published over 175 scientific papers and presented more than 200 papers and invited seminars at national and international conferences. Puszynski is also a co-author of several patents and recipient of several national and international awards. He has served as a chair of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers Energetic Materials Group, which promotes research and education in the area of energetics, and was elected as an AIChE Fellow in 2010.

JFK assassination report released in full online
The release includes the 888-page report as well as the 26 volumes of hearings conducted by the commission. It contains numerous photos, maps and diagrams from the scene in Dallas where Kennedy was slain.
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — The Government Printing Office on Monday marked the upcoming 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's death by releasing the official, digital version of the Warren Commission Report into his assassination.
The release includes the 888-page report as well as the 26 volumes of hearings conducted by the commission. It contains numerous photos, maps and diagrams from the scene in Dallas where Kennedy was slain.
While portions of the report have been digitized previously by libraries, the GPO release marks "the first time the complete, official version has been made available," said Gary Somerset, a spokesman for the agency.
The commission, established soon after Kennedy's assassination in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, and chaired by Chief Justice Earl Warren, concluded in its controversial report released in the fall of 1964 that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he shot the president. But the report's findings have been challenged over the years, including by a House select committee in the 1970s.
The GPO printed nearly 235,000 copies of the report when it was completed in 1964 and 5,600 sets of the hearings.
"It was a monumental job for GPO," said Somerset, who added that the printing took more than five months and included strict security measures to prevent leaks.
The digital version was made from a copy of the report at Georgetown University's Lauinger Library, a federal depository library.
"The publication and dissemination of the Warren Commission Report is an example of how GPO has adapted to technological changes during the last half century," said Davita Vance-Cooks, public printer for the GPO.
Somerset said the idea developed from discussions earlier this year about how to mark the anniversary. "We knew that obviously there would be a reviewed interest in the report with the anniversary," he said.

Sea Cliff residents Dina and Rollin have the right idea. They want to vote for Mayor Bruce Kennedy, who is running for a seat in the State Assembly, in the Republican Primary in September.
So, they temporarily changed their voter registration from Democrat to Republican by filling in an application at the post office and mailing it right from there to the Nassau County Board of Elections the same day. We can do the same if we mail off the request by July 15.
I think it's a fine idea. That means I can vote for Bruce in the Primary. If he wins there, I can vote for him or Democrat incumbent Chuck Lavine of Glen Cove in November's general election. Of course, nobody knows who I'm voting for. No fuss, no muss. I can switch back to Democrat if I wish at any time.
Think about it. It's a way to help Bruce Kennedy get to the proverbial starting gate of the general election, a position that the GOP promised when they asked him to run with them in April. I don't know about you, but broken promises are a pet peeve of mine. So let's do it, give Bruce a fighting chance if he wants to serve us at a higher level.
— Joe Krupinski

text: Dick Durbin at May Day Immigration Rally: Communists? What Communists? Print article Send a Tip by Rebel Pundit 2 May 2013 post a comment On Wednesday, Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) joined nearly two thousand trade unionists, open communists, socialists, anarchists and illegal aliens at Chicago's May Day march and rally. Two large rally demonstrations that began at Union Park and Chicago's Haymarket Riot monument converged into a giant march that shut down traffic for miles, and ended at Federal Plaza where they were joined by Senator Durbin. Durbin made remarks to the red, yellow and black flag waving crowd about "immigration reform." Opening with "My fellow immigrants," Durbin told the crowd "this is a once in a lifetime chance" to get "immigration reform." Following his speech, I spoke to the senator about his participation: (May Day is apparently also Law Day in America, but after covering the last three May Day marches in Chicago, I have never heard about Law Day, at any of the marches or elsewhere.) Durbin then mounted a rather bizarre defense of his participation in the rally--on free speech grounds: Rebelpundit: There is a large contingent of Communist Party USA, anarchists, international socialist groups here today that you just spoke to... Durbin: How do you know that? Rebelpundit: Because I've filmed them all day, and you just spoke to them, so I'd like to ask about your participation, why you decided to come out today? Durbin: Well let me just say something, because [pause] I believe in the Constitution. Do you believe in it? Rebelpundit: Because you believe in the Constitution you decided to come out to a rally full of communists and socialists? Durbin: And you know why? Rebelpundit: Why? Durbin: Because we have freedom of speech in America, and that's why you can record this and not be arrested. RebelPundit: You think I should be arrested? Durbin: No, not at all, you have a right to your constitutional rights, and I do, too. Of course, Durbin could go to a Nazi or KKK rally, too--but does that mean, as a United States Senator, he should? Follow @RebelPundit on Twitter.

CAPE CORAL, Fla.- Nearly one out of five children living in the Cape is living in poverty, but today those children will be able to go to school with full bellies thanks to the kindness of two organizations. It's part of a nationwide "Feed the Children" campaign.
More than 400 Cape Coral families would otherwise go without. Cars were lined up as early as 8:00 a.m. to pick up boxes of food from the truck, stocked with 25,000 lbs. of food and essentials to get Cape families through the next week a bit easier.
The Gunterberg Charitable Foundation teamed up with the Cape Coral Caring Center to distribute thousands of pounds of food to hundreds of Cape families. A need, they say, often flies under the radar.

Pitch Perception of Frequency-Modulated Tones
Results of research on pitch perception of frequency-modulated tones are presented in the paper. The experiment was done for six tones of various frequencies, with three modulating frequencies. It turned out that frequency deviation does not influence a pitch perception in some particular way, i.e. there is no relation between the standard deviation of obtained results, and frequency changes.

Maybe I should go play Demigod then, since I've never played the game, with the terrible reviews it got i never thought to pick it up.
In any event, if it worked in that game, I must be on to something. Don't think hes overpowered at all. But with your empty statement I would love to hear a reason for him being overpowered. He has clear cut drawbacks and hard counters, he stuns himself in order to stun the enemy. He has a distinct strength.
So why is he overpowered? Or are you making a quick post because its "unoriginal" like every LoL Champ isnt based off something to begin with anyway....
