Almac has added epigenetics to its expanding drug discovery offering with a new bespoke histone production service.
The Northern-Irish firm has launched a custom synthesis and reagents service for focused on the production of histones, which are the proteins involved with the packaging and expression of DNA that are believed to play a role in the development of some diseases.
The idea is that drug discovery scientists involved in epigenetic research can examine the histones – which Almac claims are exact replicas of those found in nature - as potential targets for novel pharmaceutical products.
Almac has been expanding its drug discovery and analysis offering over the last few years. The firm launched its protein-kinase based Flexyte platform in 2010 , attracting the attention of Anglo-Swedish drugmaker AstraZeneca.
More recently , Almac rolled out a new DNA sequencing service for companies working in the field of personalised medicine. This offering was few expanded in August .

Scroll through other Ipswich putative old pubs
A public house is shown at this location on the 1932 valuation map. According to the book, "A Victorian Vision, the building of Ipswich Wet Dock",
The Wherry Inn has gone to make way for Isaac Lord's coal yard.which would fit with this location.
Some of the early entries for the Wherry Inn (New Wherry Inn) may in fact refer to this pub. An 1884 map shows a public house to the east of the location of the Wherry Inn (New Wherry Inn), which suggests that the pub may have been rebuilt next door. (See above.)

Approaching beautiful women in a social environment can be nerve-racking for most guys. The problem with approaching women in any social environment is that they are rarely left alone. Women stay close to their friends, so if you want to pick up the girl you have to get through the "friend shield"; an impenetrable wall of female protection. Some guys can go it alone and are successful at simultaneously winning over the girl and her friends, but it takes a lot of practice and confidence. For the average Joe, getting a good wingman is the best way to penetrate a group of women.
The job of a wingman is just what the name implies, a friend that stays by your side and provides support. Cruising for women with a trusted wingman can make the process less uncomfortable, knowing you have a buddy by your side. A good wingman can higher your value when approaching a group of women and improve the success rate. A good wingman should help you spot potential girls, run interference, distract C-blockers (male and female), provide a backup for your stories, help with social proof, and keep your spirits up if you get rejected.
In order to work together you have to establish a set a clearly defined rules. Before approaching a group of women, you must decide which girl each of you are going to target, it will keep you from stepping on each other's toes; It is counterproductive for both to go for the same girl. Never disagree with your fellow wingman or take the girl's side on any issue, even if he is wrong. Girls always will respect the tight-knit crew over the group of friends who are falling over each other just to get laid.
Get your story straight! Never tell a fictional story, without running it by your wingman. The girl might try to verify your story, making you and wingman look foolish. Always rehearse the approach until you have done it enough times. Just as a team football practices a well-coordinated offensive strategy, you and your wingman must know the opponent and structure a game plan.

Not Sure How To Choose An Attorney? Read These Tips!
No matter what type of lawyer you are looking for, you can easily find the right one if you have the right information. Finding a good attorney poses a challenge for many people, but this is because they lack the proper knowledge to go about the task. The article below has the information you need.
A good tip to keep in mind when thinking about hiring a lawyer is to write down several questions that you wish to ask him or her. You want to find out what their philosophy is and so on, and asking questions will help give you a clear idea about them.
Ask for a fee schedule from any lawyer you're considering. Depending on how much experience or demand they have, the fees may greatly differ. It's great to know the amount you will have to pay him prior to hiring them. Severing ties with your lawyer mid-trial can have disastrous effects on the outcome of your case.
If you search for the word "lawyer" in your area on the Internet the results can be overwhelming. Blindly choosing a lawyer is never a good idea. Do not take just anyone's word either, do your own research so that you can choose with confidence. You need to be careful when making this decision, as noted on the website of the Abel Law Firm.
You need to know what your legal budget is before you hire a lawyer. You have to include in this the time spent away from work, if you don't get paid for it, to ensure you have enough to pay your bills. Include travel costs, phone bills and other expenses which might come along.
Now that you've come to the end of this article, you have some solid tips that will help you find a good lawyer. Take what you've just learned to heart, and find the best lawyer that you can. Soon, you will be competently represented in whatever legal challenge you are facing.read more
Research Shows Rise in "Gray Divorce"
As baby boomers age, they are initiating yet another social trend–a rise in divorce rates. According to a recent study from the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) that polled 1,600 lawyers, 61 percent noted an increase in divorce cases with parties in the over-50 age group.
Lawyers call a divorce after 50 a "gray divorce." High profile gray divorces have occasionally made headlines in the past five years, including the split of Al and Tipper Gore and Mel Gibson and Robyn Moore, but the actual statistics are startling: a report from the National Center for Family & Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University found that in the United States, the rate of divorce among "adults ages 50 and older doubled between 1990 and 2009." According to that study, more than 600,000 people ages 50 and older got a divorce in 2009.
Researchers and lawyers have not linked the sharp rise in divorce rates to any factors in particular. However, both studies showed that wives were initiating gray divorces at higher rates than their husbands. Alton Abramowitz, president of the AAML, said the change must be attributed to a combination of factors, including longer life spans and ease of obtaining a divorce.
"Some people find a younger partner," Abramowitz said. "Some people find their interests have diverged. Each case is different."
Divorce can be an emotionally and financially taxing procedure, says the website of the Marshall & Taylor Family Law and Divorce firm. For those who are looking to end an unsatisfying marriage, seeking the advice of an experienced attorney can protect your interests and help the divorce proceed quickly. A legal professional may be able to help you in matters of divorce, child custody or visitation rights, alimony, and division of assets.read more
Austin Police Crack Down on Drunk Driving
Austin police officers were met with great success last weekend, tallying 99 alcohol-related arrests in an attempt to cut down on drunk driving over the holiday weekend. July 4 through July 7 marked a "no-refusal" period, in which police officers took blood samples from drivers who refused a breath test.
The no-refusal weekend, which targeted motorists and boaters, nabbed 13 people Wednesday night, 33 people on Thursday night, 32 on Friday night, and 21 on Saturday night. Austin police said more than 60 percent of the arrests needed a blood sample.
No-refusal crackdowns have been successful in the past; in May, 94 people were arrested over Memorial Day weekend, and 50 people received DWI charges during June's Republic of Texas Biker Rally. The initiative requires judges on standby that work with the police department to obtain search warrants that require arrested drivers to give a blood test.
The July 4 holiday is typically the most dangerous period on the road for drivers across the United States–on average, more than 130 people have died on Independence Day over the past six years. Most of those accidents are alcohol-related, or the result of distracted driving. Last year in Austin, police recorded almost 200 accidents and 110 DWI arrests. Senior Police Officer Veneza Bremner said APD's goal is to have "no crashes, no injuries, no deaths related to persons driving while intoxicated." There were no DWI deaths during this year's celebrations.
According to the website of Ian Inglis Attorney at Law, drivers arrested for DWI face a long and difficult process that includes driver's license suspension and community service. Being charged with a DWI is serious. If you have been charged with a DUI or DWI, make sure to get an experienced attorney to guide you through your case.read more
The Unforeseen Real Dangers of BUI
Besides drunk-driving, another major cause of accident that continues to claim the lives of hundreds of individuals is BUI, that is, boating under the influence. In fact, the Boating Safety Resource Center, the U.S. Coast Guard's Boating Safety Division's official website, has an online article, which says that: BUI is just as deadly as drunk-driving; drinking will impair a boat operator faster than a car driver; and, 1/3 of all recreational boating accidents are due to alcohol impairment. Because of the dangers brought about by BUI, those who violate US laws regarding it will suffer jail terms, huge fines and revocation of operator privileges.
The federal BUI law enforced by the United States Coast Guard is applicable to all types of boats, including the largest ships, rowboats and canoes; it even includes foreign vessels sailing through U.S. territories and U.S. ships on the high seas.
Drinking alcohol or liquor, while on sea, can affect a boat operator's balance, coordination, vision and judgment, much faster than when alcohol is consumed on land. This is due to the overall marine environment, where the boat's operator and passengers experience the sun, wind, sea water mist or spray, engine noise, vibration and motion. Thus, due to alcohol, capsizing boats and drunken passengers falling over board have been common cause-of-death reports.
The over-all various threatening effects of alcohol when it is consumed while on sea include:
- Deterioration of judgment and cognitive abilities, rendering wise assessment of situations, processing of information and making good choices, much harder
- Impairment in physical control, resulting to failure to make timely reactions to dangers, lack of coordination and problem in balance
- Decrease in peripheral or night vision and depth perception, difficulty in identifying colors, especially green and red
- Failure to pull self out of the cold water, causing hypothermia and death
Operating any vessel while under the influence of a dangerous drug or alcohol can result in class A misdemeanor charges which can require an individual to pay a $5,000 (or maybe less) civil penalty to the U.S. government.read more
Workers' Compensation
When an employee is hurt or injured while on the job (whether on site or while on the road) and are not able to return to work for a definite amount of time, then can avail of worker's compensation. Worker's compensation is an insurance policy where the employer is required to pay, or has insurance to pay, an injured employee's medical expenses and lost wages due to an accident that occurred while on the job. It is hailed as the oldest insurance program in the United States.
Worker's compensation aims to help injured workers (both economically and physically) to get back to work in order for them not to harm the company's productivity. When a worker accepts the worker's compensation given by the company, he or she has waived their right to sue for the injury, thus making worker's compensation a fair trade in protecting both the workers and employers during such times.
This law is ruled by statues of each state. Each state has their own specific laws about worker's compensation, although the key elements are the same. Statutes for worker's compensation required employers to obtain state-funded or private insurance (or even to self-insure) to guarantee that workers will receive benefits.read more
A Simplified Divorce is Faster and Costs Less…But It's Not for Everyone
It is a common misconception that divorce is always contentious. Many people whose marriages did not work out get a divorce but remain friends afterwards. In some cases, they even decide to remarry! It is perfectly possible for a couple to get a simplified divorce which is fast, inexpensive and mutually agreeable. In fact, a simplified divorce in Texas dispenses with the services of a divorce lawyer, and the forms have been made available so that the couple can fill them out on their own.
However, there are very specific circumstances under which the simplified divorce is the ideal solution. The couple must be mutually agreeable to the divorce, have no children, and no property together. If there is no property to divide, then there should be no problem. The same applies to child custody and support issues. But if there are, it is a different case. If any one of these conditions is not met, attempting to file for a simplified divorce is an exercise in futility, and the couple will end up re-filing for a regular divorce.
The issue of property division, in particular, requires extensive documentation of what the couple has earned or acquired during the marriage, including retirement and pension benefits. This is a complex proceeding at best, and it can become impossible to figure out without a lawyer. If there is a child or children to consider, a simplified divorce form is simply not the way to go. An article on the website of Woodlands-based law firm BB Law Group PLLC points out that while filing a simplified divorce does not require a lawyer, it is important that one understands beforehand the legal consequences of committing to such an agreement.
There is a lot to be said for a simplified divorce, not the least of which are the low costs associated with it. But one must always consider the legal consequences of the dissolution of marital ties to avoid problems later on.read more
What is Tax Law?
For most people, tax law is a complicated matter. Although not everyone is comfortable discussing about it, tax law plays a vital role in government and national economy. It is the legislation which organizes how the government collects money from businesses and its citizens. To ensure that everyone get's taxed in a fair and equal manner these laws are necessary, since these taxes are also used by the government as revenues. Tax laws cover a vast number of areas such as disputes, exemptions, or other situations which calls for legal actions or procedures.
There are two main classes of taxes: the direct taxes (where in general terms, are the taxes that are assessed against the income, personal property, and land or real properties and are paid directly to the government), and the indirect taxes (assessed against items of consumptions, namely services or products, and is collected by a go-between, such as a merchant or seller). It is the law which sets up the government's authority on how to collect money by way of a certain agency.
Disputes between the IRS (Internal Revenue Service, accountable for the collecting of taxes as well as the implementation and information of the Internal Revenue Code) and the taxpayers are often heard on a special trial court on the US Tax Court. Although the base in at Washington DC, there are about 19 appointed judges that travel to different designated cities to administer over tax dispute trials.
Tax disputes, appeals, exemptions, and other circumstances can come up and bother any person or business establishment, therefore having a tax lawyer is important since tax laws are intricate and complex for the common man. Because failing to comply with the laws is considered a criminal offence, any issues that can come up may have serious damage to the person or business establishment, thus the need for a reliable and recognized tax lawyer can be invaluable.read more
Charge Your Electronic Device as far as 30 Feet Away with a Wireless Power Charger
Physicist Hatem Zeine's new technology-mature company Ossia is proud to introduce its flagship product Cota, a wireless power charger that can charge power-drained electronic device, such as a cell phone, from 30 feet away.
Cota's capability to acquire signals, even through or around walls, eliminates the need to establish a line-of-sight. Zeine demonstrated Cot'a's capability on September 9, 2013, in San Francisco during the Techcrunch Disrupt convention; this he did by charging an iPhone 5 remotely and successfully.
According to Zeine, commercialized editions of the wireless power charger would be out in the market very soon. Besides the fact that his product would be the ideal and safest device in facilities, such as gas and oil refineries, where sparks caused by wired power connections are obviously dangerous, Zeine also believes that with Cota, devices will never have to be plugged in again as these will be rendered "charged" all the time.
The price of Cota is set at $100 each when it becomes available in the market. Though initially close to a large tower PC in size, it will eventually be made smaller once Zeine starts using custom parts.
LG's Nexus 4 is another example of a wireless power charger, however, it requires a base where the device to be charged has to be placed on top of. What makes Cota totally different from it is the product's capability to transmit power through the air; it makes use of the same frequencies as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.read more
French Photographer Captures Images of Parisian Swimming Pools
French photographer Franck Bohbot has chosen a striking, yet commonplace subject for his most recent series of photographs: swimming pools. In particular, empty pools. Through Bohbot's lens we catch a glimpse of the impressive architecture of indoor pools that goes unnoticed when they are filled to the brim with splashing children and lap swimmers.
Bohbot took his photographs in Paris, where indoor swimming pools are more architecturally magnificent than the cinderblock construction of a typical neighborhood pool. Each photograph in the collection is shot from one angle, capturing the cathedral-like ceilings of the pools and the vast emptiness that extends into the distance. The pools, diffused with a soft glow and "empty of human presence", are utterly alien at first sight.
According to Bohbot, who calls his compositional style "cinema, more than cold architecture photography," there is nothing wrong with capturing the occasional human in one of his shots (if you look closely, you can find a few swimmers and a worker cleaning the pool). In fact, the inclusion of a human makes the isolation palpable and adds to the sense of quiet reverence present in the collection.
A few hours after the photographs were taken, hordes of swimmers rushed in and upset the tranquil scene with shouts, splashing, and constant movement. But with this collection, Bohbot has eternalized the stark, chlorinated emptiness of the swimming pool.
Domestic Violence and its Effects to Both Victims and Abusers
Domestic violence is recognized as a significant social problem by both governmental and non-governmental groups in the US, which greatly affects women and children. In fact, more than four million women, aged between 15 and 44, are said to suffer from this painful experience every year.
The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control reports that the ones most prone to these non-fatal physical abuses are young and low-income women, usually with ages between 20 and 25. In the hope to stop this useless violence, the Violence Against Women Act was passed into law through the combined efforts of the NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund (or Legal Momentum), the Feminist Majority, the National Organization for Women and other anti-domestic abuse organizations.
Domestic abusers resort to physical, emotional, verbal, sexual and even economic abuse to achieve their purpose, which is to have control over their chosen victims. They also employ tactics that will either easily or eventually weaken their victims, like continuous humiliation, threats or intimidation.
Despite the enactment of various laws on violence against women, the number of battered women only seems to increase and become more violent, as many are still abused by their lovers, husbands or ex-husbands. With their intimate partner being reported as the aggressor, authorities sometimes take longer time to respond as compared to strangers being reported as assailants.
The website of family violence lawyer Ian Inglis mentions how a domestic abuse charge can affect and ruin one's life and future, as domestic violence is considered a serious crime in the US. And though oftentimes hard to prove, if found guilty of domestic abuse, then the perpetrator can suffer stiff penalties besides getting his or her professional and personal reputation damaged.
Domestic violence affects not only the physical, but also emotional and psychological well-being. It is unacceptable act of violence despite any situation. If you are a victim of domestic violence, make sure that you get help immediately.
Criminal defense lawyers understand the consequences of a criminal charge. More than this, though, lawyers know how painful it is to suffer domestic abuse, which affects not only the physical but the over-all well-being of the affected victim. With the help of a highly-determined lawyer, you can stop domestic abuse and get the help you need to overcome the trauma caused by your suffering. The help you need may actually be just a phone call away.read more

Oregon State Motto - "She Flies with Her Own Wings"
Home /
Press Release: May 17, 2011
Economic Recovery Underway
Governor Outlines Plan to Boost Job Creation, Investment
(SALEM, Ore.) — Highlighting the 16,000 jobs created in Oregon in just the first four months of 2011, Governor Kitzhaber today declared the state's economic recovery is underway and outlined strategies to accelerate job growth and business investment. He called for legislative action on key policy and budget priorities in a news conference with Oregon business and labor leaders.
"This is good news," said Governor Kitzhaber. "Although we have a long way to go, our economic recovery is underway. We have an opportunity this legislative session to build on our strong start creating family wage jobs, attracting new investment and revitalizing hard hit communities. I urge the legislature to pass my Jobs and Economy Agenda to get Oregonians back to work."
The Governor was joined by representatives of the Oregon Business Council, Associated Oregon Industries, Oregon Business Association, Portland Business Association and AFL-CIO, along with Tamara Scott, an Oregonian who had lost her job due to the recession and is newly employed, after earning a National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC), which the Governor helped get started when he came into office.
Among the indicators cited as evidence of Oregon's economic recovery: the state has the 7th fastest job growth in the nation based on the most recent year-over-year data. The Governor also touted Oregon's AA+ credit rating; private investment in new plants, upgrades and acquisitions from a range of advanced manufacturing companies; and the successful launch of the NCRC program in Oregon with over 2,500 unemployed Oregonians gaining career readiness certification for high demand jobs.
"Oregon is a great place to do business," said Governor Kitzhaber. "With a continued focus on education and training, proven job creation strategies and investment in innovation, we will build a prosperous future for Oregon."
The Governor's Jobs and Economy Agenda includes 15 policy and budget priorities. Highlights include:

There's something to be said for dressing the part, for honoring the occasion.
I learned this lesson early on from my chameleonic grandmother who wore everything from opera gloves to mud boots, as circumstances dictated. Needless to say, I was surprised to hear it echoed in the biography of Master Patanjali, author of the Yoga Sutras!
Master Patanjali, as it turns out, was not only a highly realized yogi, but also an accomplished ayurvedic physician, great philosopher, expert Sanskrit grammarian and pioneer in the field of traditional Indian dance. The costumes and movements of ancient Indian dancing were designed so that the dancer would not just perform, but actually take on the identity of the deity they were praising in the dance.
I loved this idea, that clothes themselves could elevate a practice—and a practitioner—from the mundane to the magical.
In some sense, this is why I came to work for Hyde. I had been away on a yoga and meditation retreat and wore Hyde literally every single day. I had packed other pants, but each morning when I got dressed, all I wanted to wear was the Divine Drawstring. Because they are unfailingly comfortable and remarkably unobtrusive—not at all bulky or bunchy—I almost forgot I was wearing pants at all.
Something about the freeing outer experience of the clothes gave rise to a freeing inner experience: I was able to let go of how I ordinarily conceive myself and step into a new perception. I felt beautiful, graceful and, dare I say, perhaps even a bit divine.
My love affair with the pants (the Divine Drawstring in particular, but also the Twisted Seam Legging—so flattering!) led me to explore the wide array of Hyde tops. I had never paid too much attention to tops before. Foolishly ignoring my grandmother's example, I figured my cast-off tanks and tees would work fine for yoga. But when I tried an "official" yoga top (my favorite is the Kitkat, followed closely by the Vira), a strange thing started to happen: not only did I notice a discernible difference in the ease of my asanas (no longer were misplaced seams irritating me in chatturanga and too-baggy tee's falling in my face in headstand), but also a new-found joy and confidence overtook me in the poses themselves.
Something shifted, silly as it sounds, when I was wearing these beautiful, comfortable clothes. I felt like I was elevated to another level of practice, simply because I was dressing the part.
Perhaps like Master Patanjali's ancient dancers, I was I was able to experience myself as a yogi—happier, kinder, less judgmental of myself and others—just by taking on a yogi's outer appearance. Any remaining doubts that I was somehow still an imposter, doing someone else's practice, fell away. The experience of being beautifully and appropriately dressed for class has led to a deeper connection with the—my!—practice.
And while my teacher continually reminds us to keep our gaze focused in one spot, my eyes admittedly wander around the room. I see what other people are wearing. No one looks as chic, happy and unburdened as the yogis in Hyde. In addition to how the outer look enhances the inner feeling, my personal theory (and I suspect Master Patanjali would back me up on this) is that Hyde yogis breathe more easily in class—and thus enjoy yoga more—because the organic cotton actually breathes! Hyde does not make anything resembling a corset or girdle, nor do we use materials which to me feel more appropriate for a scuba suit.
My understanding of yoga is that its goal is to bring us to place entirely free of all our self-perceived limitations. So we may as well practice in clothes that are similarly liberated. Hence my love of Hyde.
About Hyde Yoga:
Hyde is a Brooklyn-based, yogini-owned and operated line of organic yoga apparel. Born in 2005, Hyde continues to make comfortable and beautiful yoga apparel that moves and breathes with your practice.
About the Author:
Brook Cosby is a New York City-based teacher of meditation and yoga philosophy, freelance copywriter and director of special projects at Hyde Yoga. Known for her clear and compassionate elucidation of ancient techniques for reaching stillness and opening the heart, she teaches meditation at Kula Yoga Project and is on faculty with the acclaimed Conquering Lion Yoga Teacher Training Program. She began her yoga practice after graduating from Dartmouth College in 2000 and has since completed over 1000 hours of training, including Conquering Lion and Jivamukti.

Brown's open curriculum has long supported one general education requirement: that all students demonstrate the ability to write well. This fundamental aspect of liberal education has been a part of the curriculum since the late nineteenth century. Why? Good writing is essential to learning. Across the disciplines, scholars, teachers, and students write to explore ideas, uncover nuances of thought, and advance knowledge. Writing is not only a medium through which we communicate and persuade; it is also a means for expanding our capacities to think clearly.
Learning to write well is a developmental process that occurs over time. For this reason, all students must work on their writing at least twice: once during the first half of their college experience, and once during the second half. Students meet the first half of this requirement in their first four semesters by completing an approved writing course at Brown. Reflection is an important part of your development as a writer, so we also ask that you go into ASK to verify completion of this part of the writing requirement.
Transfer students admitted as sophomores may meet the first part of Brown's writing requirement with an approved course taken at their prior institution. Sophomore transfers with no such course must take an approved course at Brown, but have an additional two semesters to meet this part of the requirement. Transfer students admitted as juniors are exempt from part one of the requirement.
In semesters 5 through 7, students work on their writing a second time, by taking another approved Brown course or by documenting that they have worked on their writing in another Brown course. The final step is to go into ASK to verify completion of the requirement and to reflect on your development as a writer.
The PDF below provides more details on the writing requirement for each class. It's important to know that the requirement as it is laid out here is a minimum expectation. Our hope is that students will work on their writing throughout their four years. By embracing this responsibility, students become stronger writers and thinkers, thus fulfilling a critical aspect of their liberal education.

Report a Problem With A Review
of Broad Ripple Brewing Company - Indianapolis, IN
Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for Broad Ripple Brewing Company, which says:
"I have visited brew pubs all over the US, and the Broad Ripple Brew Pub, right here in my own back yard, is still my favorite. I say this as a 15+ year, national award-winning homebrewer that loves the craft brewing industry, so trust me on this one. The beer is always great, I honestly have never had a problem with the service, the food is always good, and the atmosphere suits my taste (it has the feel of a small English pub). The ESB is awesome, as well as anything on the hand pull (if I was choosing my last beer ever, it would be the Porter on the hand pull). Although the BRBP has the feel of a small English pub, it is located in the bohemian / Greenwich Village-ish section of Indianapolis (Broad Ripple), and the wait staff fits that description. They do a good job, but don't expect a super efficient and highly-polished staff (if that is what you are looking for, try one of the brew pub chains downtown). The BRBP is a laid back place to enjoy some of the best beer you will ever have. Locals have voted it the best brew pub in Indianapolis every year for well over a decade, so that says a lot. For parking, look for a spot along the Monon trail just to the East of the pub. Enjoy your trip."

I know I know i am a couple of years late in watching Do Dooni Chaar, but frankly speaking it was worth the wait! It is the best movie I saw in a long time! :D
Ekdum bachpan ke din yaad aa gaye wo movie dekh ke! :D :D I specially looooved the acting of Rishi Kapoor, and the girl playing his daughter in the movie!
I don't know if any richie rich folks read this blog, but for the rest of us, the mango people, there are plenty of instances in the movie which just look like a copy paste from our lives! And specially the simplicity in the lives of Duggal family, made me sit and watch a complete movie after such a long time.
There is a scene in the movie, where Mr Duggal is talking to his wife over the phone and saying "Keema parantha, 45 Rupees ji". There was so much happiness and pride in his voice on making his small luxurious purchase! The scene took me some 7-8 years back in my life. I was in first year of college then and lived on humble monthly expenses. Every saturday our hostel mess was off, so we had to go out to eat. Believe it or not, that 30 rupees ka keema parantha was the most expensive purchase I used to make every week!! Life was so good when these small small things used to bring so much happiness! I even used to wait for Saturday to go out and spend my luxury money! :D :D
Good old days! Sigh!
I could even connect more to the movie as I am on the verge of purchasing my own first car! :D :D The tension of collecting the down payment, the huge bundle of papers for the loan guys, the EMI ki tension, the waiting period for the car! Sigh! :D
Some days I wake up as excited as a girl during her wedding shopping! :D And then I check the date, curse the car manufacturers for long waiting periods and then go back to sleep again! :D
By the way, did anyone else like the movie - Do Dooni Chaar?

Australia were not just brilliant with bat and ball, but equally sharp in the field. This photo gallery looks at some of the finest catches of the series. Right from Chris Rogers diving attempt to Brad Haddin's blinder behind the wickets, the Aussies were up to the task. Don't miss out a superb effort from Tim Bresnan as well who managed to catch the ball but just about tripped over the boundary rope.

Scalding the milk made so much difference in the texture of the quiche! All six of us loved it.
on October 19, 2011
I enjoyed the flavors of this entire menu, but I didn't like trying to eat the shaved prosciutto on top of the quiche, It was a bit of a pain to cut and since the quiche cuts so easily it was a bit of a hassle. Other than that I loved this recipe, as did my boyfriend who ended up having 4 slices of quiche and even a second helping of the beans...the dressing is so tasty!

Shimano Spirex Spinning Reel is rated out of 5 by 4.Rated 5 out of 5 by RICHARD A from I had an older model of this reel and it worked great and gave me many years of service. I expect the same from this one. the only complaint is that it only came with one spool the old one had 2 and they are not interchangeable. I am guessing that's the manufactures fault not SPG.Date published: 2014-08-20Rated 4 out of 5 by MICHAEL from have not had a chance to field test it yet but it is what I expected. good quality and I expect it to last for years.Date published: 2014-03-26Rated 5 out of 5 by TOM from great price and good reelDate published: 2013-09-03Rated 5 out of 5 by JOHN from Shimano needs to bring back its Solstace reel with rear drag and single handle...they were the best, but this new one works pretty slick.

Sonkajärvi is a municipality of Finland.
It is located in the province of Eastern Finland and is part of the Northern Savonia region. The municipality has a population of 4,355 (30 September 2014)[2] and covers an area of 1,576.77 square kilometres (608.79 sq mi) of which 110.86 km2 (42.80 sq mi) is water.[1] The population density is 2.97 inhabitants per square kilometre (7.7/sq mi).
The municipality is unilingually Finnish.
Wife carrying competition[edit]
Sonkajärvi has gained a worldwide fame for Wife Carrying (Finnish: akankanto or eukonkanto) which is an alternative sport of carrying women. The first Wife Carrying World Championship dates to 1994, but the creation of the contest, apart from its humorous aspects, has deep roots in the local history. In the late 19th century there was in the area a brigand called Rosvo-Ronkainen, who is said to have accepted in his troops only those men who proved their worth on a challenging track. In those days, it was also a common practice to steal women from the neighbouring villages.
In the Wife Carrying competition each team has one male and one female member, the objective being for the male to carry the female through a special obstacle track. The basic rules are that the woman must be over 17 years of age and have a weight of at least 49 kilograms (108 lb). If she is below that weight, she must be burdened with such a heavy rucksack so that the total weight to be carried by the man is at least 49 kilograms. The only equipment allowed is a belt worn by the carrier. The track in Sonkanjärvi used annually for the World Championship has a length of exactely 253.5 metres (832 ft).
There are 204 lakes in the area of Sonkajärvi. Biggest of them are Laakajärvi, Sälevä and Kiltuanjärvi.[6]

|With all 100 counties in North Carolina having reported their primary results, State Senator Kay Hagan is the overwhelming choice of North Carolina Democrats to take on absentee Elizabeth Dole in November. Hagan has taken over 60% of the primary vote, followed by businessman Jim Neal at 18% and Marcus Williams at 12.6%.Hagan is well-positioned to challenge Dole. A Research 2000 poll from about a week ago commissioned by Daily Kos sees Dole leading Hagan by only a seven-point margin, 48-41. Given that Dole is presumably at maximum name ID and that she rarely touches 50% in any approval poll (that isn't commissioned by her campaign or her partisans), she has little room to grow. On the other hand, Hagan is still expanding her name ID beyond her State Senate district. And polling indicates that her paid media campaign is incredibly effective. This won't turn into a Tier 1 race overnight, but every indication is that this is a strong Tier 2 race with much potential.Hagan is a moderate, probably not progressive enough for the liking of some in the blogosphere. But she is a proud Democrat. Further, her effectiveness and competence as a legislator has won acclaim:
I'll also remind readers that among the netroots' biggest victories are Southern moderates like Jim Webb of Virginia. And I'm not the only one likening Hagan to Webb, as Real Clear Politics asks "Hagan The Next Webb?":
Hagan is currently in better shape than Webb was at this point. And Dole's unfavorables are far higher than Hagan's. While Dole does enjoy a money advantage, a $3 million bankroll isn't what it used to be, especially when the DSCC has a $20 milllion cash-on-hand advantage over the NRSC with which to aid Hagan's bid.
In short, Dole is vulnerable. Her disapproval is relatively high and her approval seems to have a ceiling in the mid-to-high 40s. Meanwhile, Hagan's messaging appears to be very effective, and she has a great deal of upside. And it's only a seven-point race with about six months until Election Day.
All Hagan needs is the resources to stay competitive. To help on that front, State Senator Kay Hagan, the Democratic nominee for Senate in 2008 against Elizabeth Dole, has been added to the Expand the Map! ActBlue page.
Please consider a contribution to Hagan – it's a step toward kicking Elizabeth Dole out of the Senate, and that should be reward enough.

Collective Bias Uses Social Media to Turn Consumers into Marketers
by Chris Bahn
Posted 5/13/2013 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Marketers have long recognized that word-of-mouth advertising can impact the success of a product. Consumers who have strong opinions regarding a purchase will typically share those thoughts with family and friends.
Finding a way to maximize the influence of that single shopper and magnify that positive review hasn't been as easy to figure out, however.
Collective Bias seems to have cracked the code.
Recently recognized by Forbes magazine "as one of America's Most Promising Companies," the firm headquartered in downtown Bentonville is becoming a popular tool for brands looking for influence with shoppers. Tyson Foods, Disney, Colgate, Kimberly Clark and Nestle are among Collective Bias' growing roster of clients, and the firm recently secured $10.5 million in investment funding to continue its momentum.
Co-founders John Andrews and Amy Callahan launched Collective Bias in 2009 and today it is an operation with 67 employees and satellite offices in Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Minnesota, Toronto and London.
Collective Bias uses a community of 1,400 bloggers with large followings and vast reach on social networks to help influence consumers. That network, called "Social Fabric," has an aggregated reach of 50 million people, according to the company.
What began as a "back of the napkin" idea is now being hailed — by Forbes, again — as one of the "5 Most Important Companies You Need to Know," all because Collective Bias has figured out a way to build on the personal relationship between consumer and company.
A Nielsen study released in April 2012 underscores the importance of what Collective Bias is doing. More than 90 percent of consumers surveyed worldwide said that they trusted word-of-mouth recommendations more than any other form of advertising.
"A brand can't just talk about itself all day long or people will unfollow or ignore you," said Callahan, also the company's COO. "This was built around the idea of harnessing the power of people who are talking about you, people who are already advocates for you."
May 2012 was the first $1 million sales month for the company, which reported $10 million in revenue last year. Andrews, who serves as CEO, said the company should exceed $20 million in 2013 and isn't shy about stating his goal of growing revenues to $100 million for 2014.
Brands are starting to catch on to the power of the Collective Bias model for advertising and marketing. Companies are buying into the idea that a customer posting a favorite recipe and including specific product names with links and photos can be just as valuable — if not more so — than a traditional advertising campaign. That post gets distributed on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and other social sharing sites, generating new customers.
Bloggers apply to be part of a campaign and are given a certain product to buy at a specific store. From there they incorporate the product into their daily lives and then through a story, photos and video — or some combination — document the process.
It's a mostly organic process, although Collective Bias does help manage the posts with embedded links and offers tips on how to supplement a post.
Callahan and Andrews said the impact of their company is only as strong as its blogger community and the content provided. That's why Collective Bias lists "think community first" as No. 1 on its list of founding principles.
Finding ways to empower bloggers and strengthen that Social Fabric was the idea behind a recent conference in Rogers. Sears, Nestle, Conair and Kraft were among the sponsors for the SoFabCon event, held with the intent of bringing bloggers and brand representatives together for brainstorming sessions on how to better push products in a medium that is viewed as more "real" than traditional ad campaigns.
Personal stories posted on blog sites with names like "kidsaregrown," "lumpytolean" and "goobermonkey" are becoming go-to marketing tools. And they are having an impact at a fraction of the cost of circular inserts or other forms of print advertising.
Calvin Peters, online and public relations manager for New York City pharmacy chain Duane Reade, was the keynote speaker for one SoFabCon session. Peters praised the power of social shopper media for helping reach customers in a significant way despite a limited marketing budget.
Although it is a city-specific chain, Duane Reade now boasts four times the number of Twitter followers of parent company Walgreens. As part of a case study on what a network of consumer bloggers did for Duane Reade, Peters noted that the chain would have had to purchase $4.9 million in ads for the same impact.
Peters now oversees his own network of VIP bloggers, who work with retailers who sell products through Duane Reade. These "brand ambassadors," as Peters calls them, are offered perks like travel, meet-and-greets with celebrity endorsers and opportunities to use products before the general public. In some cases bloggers, like a small percentage of those working for Collective Bias, are paid for their contributions.
Do the benefits encourage only positive reviews? It's a common question but Andrews doesn't think it is an issue.
"Readers aren't dumb," Andrews said. "If I read three or four articles and everything is unicorns and kittens, that sets my radar off as a consumer. We don't want canned brand messaging. We want it to be in people's voices. But at the same time there are branding objectives."
Marrying corporate marketing goals of a client with the content from those (mostly) independent bloggers is where Collective Bias has excelled. Peters said managing the relationship between the two is where Callahan and Andrews "are visionaries."
Collective Bias has money to invest in its vision thanks to the outside funding secured in April from Updata Partners, an investment firm in Washington, D.C. Startup capital in 2009 — money from Andrews and Mars Advertising CEO Ken Barnett — was only enough for an investment in people who could build relationships with bloggers and brands.
Now Collective Bias is in a position to develop technological tools as well. "We could have continued self-funding, but felt like at this point capital would let us scale at a greatly accelerated rate," Andrews said. "I think the marketplace is really coming into being right now."
Implementing an Idea
Collective Bias of Bentonville launched nearly four years ago as a "back of the napkin idea" of co-founders Amy Callahan and John Andrews. Since then the social shopper media company has grown to 67 employees in three countries with a network of 1,400 bloggers. Following are key moments in the company's history so far.
June 2009: Collective Bias is launched with investment capital from MARS Advertising.
February 2010: Begins aggregating content to help strengthen search engine traffic for brands.
May 2011: Grows its community of bloggers, Social Fabric, to 1,110 members, while doubling its full-time staff.
October 2011: Opens an office in Canada.
November 2011: Develops its own publishing platform for bloggers to promote brands.
May 2012: Achieves the first $1 million sales month in company history.
November 2012: Opens satellite offices in New York, Minnesota and San Francisco.

March 2013: Opens an office in London.
April 2013: Secures $10.5 million in Series A Round investment funding.

Gracie Marlowe Quinlan, the new daughter of Edmonton Rush captain Jimmy Quinlan (Photo Credit: Dale MacMillan)
Saturday was an emotional day for Jimmy Quinlan.
Professionally, the Edmonton Rush's captain was set to lead the team into their West Divisional Semifinal game against the Calgary Roughnecks.
Personally, a life-changing event took place.
Around 12:30 a.m. local time, Quinlan received a call that his wife Shelby's water broke and the birth of their first child was imminent. However, there was one small detail in the way – Quinlan was in Calgary, roughly 185 miles south of Edmonton.
"I got in the car and drove back and then played the waiting game," Quinlan told Evan Daum of the Edmonton Journal.
Less than 10 hours after that initial call, Jimmy Quinlan became a new father when Gracie Marlowe Quinlan came into the world.
As for the game, Shelby Quinlan told her husband to get to it.
"She's always supported me, they've always supported me, so she told me to get back in the car and go take of business and, fortunately for us, we did," Quinlan said.
Another nearly 200-mile trek down Highway 2 had Quinlan back with his team around 4 p.m. local time. Hours after his arrival, he scored a goal in the Rush's 19-11 upset of the Roughnecks to secure a berth in Saturday's West Divisional Final against the Minnesota Swarm.
"Watching what my wife went through (Saturday), I just came to the game knowing that she had gone through something a lot harder than a game of lacrosse," he said.
The proud new dad hopes to lead his team to its first-ever appearance in the Championship Game. To do that, they will need to defeat the Swarm on Saturday in a game to be ahown live on CBS Sports Network starting at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Download Free Palm WebOS Unreal Engine 3 for Mobile Games
During the Game Developers Conference, Palm Inc. and Epic games demonstrated Unreal Engine 3-powered mobile games running on webOS. Epic Games produced blockbuster game titles like Unreal Tournament 3 and Gears of War, both of which were crafted using the industry-leading Unreal Engine 3. The engine was also used to develop other consoles games like Mass Effect and Batman: Arkham Asylum. The two companies hope to inspire other game developers to develop visually-rich 3D games for webOS devices. The Unreal Engine 3 is now free to download at http://www.udk.com/.
The introduction of Unreal Engine 3 was made possible because Palm Inc. released the beta version of its Plug-in Development Kit (PDK) for Palm webOS platform. The PDK allows game developers to quickly port their existing game titles to webOS devices because it supports C/C++ programming. Full 3D rendering on the webOS is now also a reality because the PDK has adopted the OpenGL ES 2.0 standard.
Palm Inc. is optimistic that the combination of Unreal Engine 3 and their Plug-in Development Kit will generate more interest from development studios. The less than stellar sales of their Palm Pre and Palm Pixi smartphones was hampered by the shortage of third-party apps. Despite having the same PowerVR graphics accelerator chip like the iPhone 3GS has, both Palm smart phones failed to attract game makers. The Unreal Engine 3 was already ported to the iPhone OS last year and the thousands of 3D games available for the iPhone have made it an astounding success. Palm wants to emulate Apple's accomplishment. The company is well aware that the buying public puts a lot of importance on the gaming experience provided by their smart phones. The Plug-in Development Kit and Unreal Engine 3 ensures the same immersive 3D gaming experience is now possible on the webOS platform.

BEST BUYS COMPLAINT. I waited from 9:45 in my car until the store opened. Went directly to the TV section to purchase a TV set. It is now 5 mins later and I ask an employee if he could help me, he then call someone on his employee phone, 5 minutes I was still waiting, I ask him is somebody coming he call again. I waited again another 5 minutes, than said him if anybody was working. He left, then came back to tell me the person he talk to was with someone else and I would have wait. There is no one in the store, the store is not busy it is how 10:20. The employee who told me I had to wait, NEVER ask if he could help me OR ask what the question.
was. Now I am to believe that at 10:05 in the morning there is only 1 person that can help with TVs and he has been with this customer for 15 minutes and agoring me. I pick out a TV with no help from anyone in the best buy's in secaucus. I WILL NEVER BUY FROM BEST BUYS IN SECAUCUS if you can not get help at 10.05 in the morning when they are only open 5 minutes, than I can not amagine ever getting service when there Might be busy.
