Everyone was in the house for the grand finale of American Idol, as Jordin and Blake opened the show with a long-awaited Beatles tune. "I Saw Her Standing There" was a premonition of things to come. We drifted quickly into a performance by the touring Gwen Stefani singing her song 4 in the Morning. She looked and sounded fantastic. Red-carpet tidbits there were lots of Idols both past and present. However, the real stars were ushered past me on the red-carpet press line at the speed of light, as though I had a form of jumping leprosy.

Critic Reviews for Ju-on 2 (Ju-on: The Grudge 2)
All Critics (84) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (41) | Rotten (31) | DVD (17)
If you are new to horror that places atmosphere and psychological intensity over gore, Ju-On is a good place to start.
It's creepy, all right. It's just that how it goes about creeping you out is sometimes just plain cheesy.
Shimizu is obviously impatient with dull exposition and wants us to get straight to the good scary stuff.
Ju-on has the ability to shoot chills up, down and, well, sideways across a viewer's spine.
Even if you have no idea what the devil is going on in Ju-on, it holds up as a finely crafted little freakout movie.
... a film that, perhaps better than any other ever made, conveys the disturbing sense of the uncanny -- of fear that goes beyond reason or explanation ...
Ye olde cursed-house-cuz-child-and-mom-were-killed Japanese midnight flick.
its device of a film-within-a-film, far from being some clever-clever postmodern contrivance, adds another layer of disorientation to Shimizu's carefully constructed hall of mirrors.
With just a little bit of editing and some disorienting sound effects, Japanese director Takashi Shimizu can create more tension and jolts than most filmmakers can with oceans of blood.
There are too many characters and few of them are portrayed in a way that would allow audience to really care about their fate.
Ju-On features more matted black hair than you'd find in the locker room shower drain of an Italian soccer team -- but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
There is nearly enough atmosphere and general creepiness to make you forget that the film doesn't really add up to anything.
Those who are patient will find that this one is a creepier, more effective movie than its American clone.
What this version has that the remake lacks: a few more intriguing subplots and some Kabuki-like visual flourishes.
... succumbs to terminal stupid-itis, the very same ailment that's demolished plenty of other horror movies through the years.
Exists in its unsettling ability to cloak the audience in a mood of chilling dread.
Shimizu seems to suggest that being confronted by the undeniable reality of the supernatural would obliterate not just our judgment but the very foundation of our lives...
Watching this is as likely to set the hairs on the back of your neck dancing the dead-girl shuffle as much as any film in recent memory.
Audience Reviews for Ju-on 2 (Ju-on: The Grudge 2)
Confusingly told and bringing two of (what were) very creepy horror entities out into the light repeatidly, really takes the creepiness out of them. I found their presence in this film almost a little comical.More

Now, here's the film that I'm mad at. Came to my profile ratings mysteriously and had to watch it.
'Ju-On: The Grudge 2' is what I've learned the fourth film in the series. Watched the first one, wasn't amazed and skipped right to this one.
This film continues the story of the "curse" that was initialized in the original. In this one, a reality TV show host wants to make a feature of the house because he has become interested of the whole thingy. It doesn't come as a surprise that death is waiting for them all...
This installment to the series is just as scary as the first one. Like I said, I skipped the middle ones and went directy to see this. Felt uncomfortable but not that much as in the original because the "curse" was familiar to me. Nevertheless, scared the shit out of me at times but I still prefer different horror movies, like 'The Others' or 'White Chicks'...

If you count the first two direct-to-video movies, this would be the 4th movie in the Takashi Shimizu's Japanese Ju-On series.
The Ju-on Curse spreads and takes more lives in this followup sequel to the smash success Ju-On.
Like Elm Street 5, this has the theme of motherhood, with the Ju-On ghosts attempting to enter the real world through a woman's baby.
The plot also concerns a film crew shooting a documentary about the Ju-On curse on location. Let me tell you, everybody on the crew of that thing don't have a chance as the curse finds them and gets them in some weird and scary ways!
The ghost boy Toshio is back with his freaky black cat. Kayoko, the long-haired ghost mother makes several freaky appearances. I don't think the evil daddy appears in this one.
The stories are once again told episodically in a shuffled order. There's one great story with a Japanese schoolgirl who is stuck in a freaky time/space loop where she's inside and outside the cursed house in rapid succession. I was freaked with the apartment scene when the residents wonder what is causing a banging sound each night at the same time from the neighbour's wall. The ending is shocking, but no great surprise after witnessing all the freaky things which have just occurred.
I liked the first theatrical Ju-On movie a bit more, because it had tighter pacing and more centered on the haunted house.
The thing I don't understand with these Ju-On movies is why do the ghosts of the mother and boy want to cause harm to innocent people? They were innocent victims once themselves, and should show some understanding. They were killed by surprise, so shouldn't show much rage. They should go after who killed them instead.

I personally find it bizarre how every single half-baked horror film that gets released seems to warrant a sequel these days; I honestly don't know why a lot of these movies exist. Ju-on is actually one of the few that deserved a sequel; whether or not it was a good idea to make it is open to debate though. I personally consider the original Ju-on the best straight horror film I've ever seen, but the sequel seems to have fallen into the usual horror sequel trap. Instead of expanding on the idea, the director seems to have thought "well we did all the build up in the original, so let's jump straight in with the scary stuff!" Unfortunately, without the build up, there is no tension, and so instead of being scary, the spooky happenings seem faintly ridiculous; the opening section makes the ghostly boy look like some kind of albino gremlin! Add some rather gimmicky nonsense including hairy nooses and a mobile wig and it's very difficult to take seriously. It does improve towards the end, and the final half hour does contain some genuinely creepy moments, but it seems to be content to rip off the (inferior) Ringu rather than carrying on the tradition of the original movie. Not bad, but not in the same league as Ju-on.More

Theo Walcott has been ruled out of Arsenal's Champions League clash with Montpellier on Wednesday night due to a shoulder problem.
The England winger sustained the injury during Arsenal's 5-2 derby win over Tottenham at the weekend but was able to play on and scored the Gunners' fifth goal in injury-time at the end of the match.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger revealed Walcott had not trained today (Tuesday) and would have a scan to determine the extent of the injury although he thought it would be only a short-term thing.
Left-back Kieran Gibbs and Ivory Coast midfielder Gervinho are back in the squad for the Emirates Stadium tie but Andre Santos is out injured with a stomach problem.
Wenger said: "Walcott is an important part of what we want to achieve this season. We started the season with this squad, and we want to finish the season with this squad.
"We want to win because we have a good opportunity to finish the job and qualify."
Montpellier's Senegal striker Souleymane Camara is suspended for the north London encounter having received his third yellow card of the group stages in the defeat to Olympiakos.
Morocco forward Karim Ait-Fana is a long-term absentee after injuring his right knee in training last month.

Tonight is the fourth night we've discussed the controversy around Eric Garner's death. New Yorkers have had a lot of opinions on this and I'm sure we'll hear from more in the future. My hope is that the NYPD does indeed learn from last week's tragedy and that all police officers will be appropriately retrained in the use of force. All eyes on Commissioner Bratton...
Your thoughts and comments are posted below.
A funeral is being held tonight for Eric Garner, the 43-year-old Staten Island man who died shortly after police wrestled him to the ground for allegedly selling individual cigarettes. News of Garner's death made national headlines and led to a top-to-bottom review of training procedures for police officers. In addition, the new NYPD Inspector General is said to be reviewing the use of banned chokeholds over the past five years.
While on vacation in Italy today, Mayor de Blasio was asked if he would have attended Garner's funeral if he was here. De Blasio's responded, "I don't deal on hypotheticals. I reached out to his widow and to his mother and we had a really good conversation. I wanted them to know that I felt a deep sense of sorrow for their loss." What do you say?
How will you remember Eric Garner? What changes do you hope happen as a result of this tragedy? What specific area do police need retraining in? What's your reaction to Mayor de Blasio's comments? Does it matter to you that he is away on vacation at this time?
Send your thoughts using the link above.
Training should always be updated and given to officers yearly. Police officers are human they go through many different circumstances on the job. They can easily become desensitized from situations and act instinctual and instead of helping the situation it can become worse. Officers need to regroup. Believe that if they had civilians and officers together during training they can both learn more on what it is like to be in each others shoes.
Adelin South Jamaica
I think need to learn how to act in public and to quit playing the race card. Also, get rid of Bratton. Going to LAPd for help!
Roscoe Park Hill
If Mayor Diblasio felt sorrow for the Garner's family loss he would of been here for the fallout after Mr Garner's tragic death, he could of postponed his vacation until at least Friday, this reminds me when Mayor Bloomberg was out of town and the city was hit with the blizzard obviously this is a more serious then the blizzard a man died in the hands of incomptent NYPD officers and EMT workers. I hope everybody espically minorities use their camera phone when they see the NYPD abusing their power when arresting someone espically minorities some of these white cops are racist i have stories about staten island and racism. HermanUpper West Side
My personal opinion is if he would of cooperate he would still be alive. There he was getting out of controll for no reason. Maybe if a lot of people would listen without reacting police wouldn't use the force they should. I believe the under cover was in the right doing his job
Black men are killed all the time by police and it seems nothing will change that which is sad.
RichMidtown East
The complete story needs to be told. It seems as though a conclusion has been made already. He did not die because he was just selling loosies he did try to break up a fight prior to the officers showing up and they did get a call about the fight. But this Eric Garner was also a habitual seller of these loosies especially to children. He said I'm tired of you harassing me all the time but he had 30 some odd arrests for one reason or another. Did this guy have a job because I was watching some of the people interviewed on the street saying that he was trying to make a living for his family. This DeBlasio should not have taken this vacation. Of course he is going to be questioned about it. He didn't seem to like being questioned about the trip but then again it goes with the territory. That job was created a while back because they felt that if something happens to the mayor then the public advocate steps in. [Lord help us all.] We still have to remember that when law enforcement stops anyone they should just not resist=just follow orders. How many times in all of his arrests was he hassled? We have many questions and we will just have to wait and see. Condolences to the family of Eric Garner.
MaxxieeMorris Park
I will remember Mr. Garner as an innocent man who died due to unlawful tactics used by NYPD officers. This is a very sad day for New York City. The Police Commissioner is trying to deflect attention by stating he is going to retrain the dept. by using a training system used in L.A. set up by no other than himself. Pat Lynch, PBA president, is defending the cops for an act that is indefensible. He has no credibility. As for Deblasio, the answer to the reporter's question should have been yes. Yes, I would have attended Mr. Garner's funeral.
KateMidtown East
A telephone call to Mr. Garner's wife & family is thoughtful, however, as the Mayor of this city, Blasio should have cut is family's vacation short and return to New York. We elected him, not the other way around, so returning to Italy at a different point and time is a no brainer. As other's, I will remember Mr. Garner as I man who had a lovely family who loved him. Being a good guy, he broke up a fight only to be surrounded by cops one minute and begging for his life minutes later until his last breath. His civil rights were violated and this tragedy should have never, ever happened. Mr. Garner should be home with his family like everyone else. Instead, his family and friends are devastated and trying to understand.........WHY?? AND HOW ARE THEY GOING TO GO ON??? Thanks to NYCRESISTANCE on youtube & other's who has also proven the downfall within NYPD and blowing the roof off the their blue code of silence. Living in this city, I don't expect EMT'S or NYPD to save my life if my heart stops beating. They're too darn busy checking their phones. The trust I once had towards both, died with Mr. Garner.
NowalFinancial District
Why aren't the cops and EMS personnel who are responsible for Mr. Garner's death under arrest and in holding cells at Rykers Island?
JoePort Richmond
It is very sad, and most unfortunate, that this man died while officers were struggling to apprehend him. But before we all armchair quarterback the mistakes that may have been made by police, if we go to extremes in criticism, and punishment, the changes we might see in the future are a police force that is afraid, and extremely hesitant towards responding to crime, and apprehending criminals. Trust me, as a New York City Correction Officer who now works for a department that allows the inmates to rule, because it is to easy for an officer to be punished for excessive force, I ask the people off New York City: do we want our neighborhoods to be recklessly ruled by criminals for the very same reasons why they rule the confines of our jails today.
CalleFive Towns, NY
I think the changes that need to come from this tragedy is sensitivity training on the part of the nypd.cops come to the job with preconceived notions of minorities...I think discipline for the cops over aggressiveness with rectify the problem.
In watching the video and seeing all that transpired it is a tragedy on both ends. First the cops and EMTs do their jobs everyday to save lives. Secondly a man committing a minor criminal infraction was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I cant say cops to be retrained but everyone should be more mindful of what the laws are on both sides.
PaulaStaten Island
Police are the real criminals. As long there's no consequences for there actions. This will continue to happen. WillyEast Harlem
The Daily News reports that in the police report document on this, the word choke hold is not mentioned. Is that a deliberate whitewash? Or is it really in dispute? All the news reports use this term to describe what happened.
That police should be brought up for murder. Not only did he murder that man. He taunt the camera, by waiving. Its a shame. I think the police department should e accountable, for every law suit. They still get promoted even after being suit several time. So they (then police) know nothing is going to happen to them. That's why they continue violating people's rights.
Cops need to learn non-violent conflict resolution. It's just that simple. Also, how about mandatory counseling for ALL cops, courses on stress-relief, courses on basic psychology, and mandatory time in the communities they police, but out of uniform, working with community members on common goals? It might be expensive, but it will cost a lot less than the lawsuits the current training seems to foment. We don't need more cops; we need better ones. All police have to undergo a thorough psychological exam to make sure they're not sociopaths or bullies. I can see how years of an extremely stressful and nasty job can change that. Every five years, cops should have to be re-evaluated to see if the job is too much for them to handle. The problem isn't that #99 used a choke hold. The problem was that he still had his gun and badge when it's obvious it should've been taken away years ago.
It is not about training but about changing the relationship police and citizens. I just came home from police precinct few minutes ago. I was brutalized, checked, and arrested by so called hospital peace officers. I was asked to leave then given permission to stay by the bedside of my sister in law. One thing lead to another , and I was brutalized and arrested accused of assaulting someone. The same mentality that exists in the NYPD, is the same now being used.
Please clarify: Is a loose cigarette sale a violation or a crime? Did the police retrieve the cigarettes or the buyer as evidence if it is criminal? Have violations been upgraded to be handled as crimes? Please clarify: Is the use of the "chokehold" by police banned/illegal? Would this case be a case and point as to why it was deemed illegal? Ken Harlem
There seems to be a lot of focus on the choke hold. I'm curious to know what a medical examiner would say about cause of death. Meanwhile I would suspect it's the cops sitting on top of him that killed him, suffocating him and/or setting off an asthma- or heart-attack. Cops sit on suspects all the time, and that tactic should be a focus of an investigation, however spectacular the brief choke hold is.
Many NYPD employees are out of control. They have a license to kill and they've been using it for years. Haven't seen any k-9's in a while though. NYPD officers came into my house without a warrant looking for a relative who has not been at my house for years and they lied and said this relative used my address everytime they were arrested which was a lie since they have been arrested numerous times at ANOTHER address, which is documented. I asked to see a warrant. None shown. They were recorded and are being investigated now. One threatened to arrest ME for impersonating an officer because he saw my BADGE. I am a city employee. They checked my id's and moved on to ransacking my place. I was half naked. RIDICULOUS. I couldnt even go to work because I was very frantic and disturbed and maybe traumatized!
First, lets forget about arrests and writing summons for broken window crimes. It be nice to see police act more courteous and professional by talking to people more politely, and maybe encouraging those people to seek social services that may be more helpful to them. Next, the police commissioner needs to have all officers retrained because it was disgusting to see a police sergeant just stand there and do nothing but watch officers act disrespectfully.
Stop hiring 18 yr old kids from Long Island who live in places that have no diversity. Live in the city or don't be a cop. Hire kids graduating CUNY and offer them a bonus. Hire recruits from NYC who have grown up in diversity. You can't teach people street smarts. When cops have to make a quota arrest it's usually a bad arrest. This stuff happens all the time but the guy doesn't usually die. People have to learn to put there hands behind there back have a lawyers card in their pocket.
KennyJackson Heights
I am an African American woman and I have stood on a different side of this debate before. However in this case what people are forgetting that while he was selling "loosies" the tobacco industry is a regulated industry. It is a health and hygienic issue. If by chance there is a faulty cigarette that makes someone sick he does not have the means or authority to solve those issues. Therefore I agree that he should have not resisted arrest and that he was breaking the law. While the police may have been more aggressive than necessary he would not have been in the position had he understood that he was at fault and not resisted arrest. Even better he could have stopped committing the crime dozens of offenses ago.
New York is not Mississippi, and without question, the ripple effect of unlawful procedures taken before and after the Eric Garner incident will have an impact on other cities and states, as well. We set the standards in New York City, for other cities in this nation, it will undoubtedly create fallout between many police officers who need to work together, and we can't afford any more casualties.
As an African- American woman I am disgusted with this Country, NYPD and the Mayor and Commissioner- ALL OF THEM ARE RACISTS! this has nothing to do with training we as a people have put up with this CRAP long enough! THIS IS MURDER ALL COPS INVOLVED SHOULD BE FIRED , NO PENSIONS AND INCARCERATED LIKE ANYONE ELSE! FYI- WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD OF A AFRICAN- AMERICAN COP KILLING A WHITE MAN!!!!! A LIFE FOR A LIFE!!!!!!!
As a friend of Ramarley Graham's sister, I must say that the NYPD has gotten out of control. Unarmed individuals are dying when they DONT have to. The commissioner gives a very non Chalant attitude and shows no sense of urgency. I don't understand how the executive branch of government can continue to break laws when their job is to enforce the law. And the punishment for contributing to someone's death is staying home with their families ? But Eric Garner can't be at home with his.
Rondail Washington Heights
The cops killing that African American in a choke hold is a very malevolent move that the cop did. In my opinion, I think the cop(s) that killed him should get charges against him. I am sick and tired of the radical prejudice system. It does not matter that they have a uniform on, there are malevolent cops that do evil actions and no charges are pressed against them because they have a uniform. I know he was a big guy, but why do cops always call for back up? I notice that one of the cops was scared to approach him and they handled the situation with several cops choking him. First off, he stopped a fight , I guess it isn't Justice to stop a fight anymore ? Second, he said he couldn't breathe and the fact that he had asthma, makes the situation even worse, they stereotype minorities because they think that whatever language comes out of their mouths , it must mean "f*ck the police" but no, he was actually screaming because he couldn't breathe and now, he is dead. Not all cops are evil, but the malevolent cops always get away through trouble. Even your channel just said that choke holds aren't allowed in the NYPD force. Lastly, if police enforcements keep it up with this intolerant behavior, this will make citizens become more monarchy!
No one seems to be able to answer this question, how do you hand cuff a 400lb person on that; does not want to be hand cuffed?
I think it's wrong for the media to make this racial, what happened was the Police couldn't deter the man from that corner, weather it was a processing problem. The man was convicted 42 times and kept on going to the same spot. I live in Jersey and that would never happen. Police would put the man in a mental health center.
JoeNew Jersey
What they did was not the way i thought they handled it they killed that man with out garner touching him the cop touched him first to me that was illegal.
This is sad but you need to hire more people that live in these communities. Cops are not part of the community they service and this is part if the problem. We need to hold all our politicians accountable. They do nothing to bring change to this problem. Especially the ones if color like our speaker.
I dont believe this situation calls for all police officers to be retrained. To my understanding the police are trained already, Following what they are trained to do is the problem. I dont think all police officers should be blamed or put through more training if they never had a problem in the past or violated policy's or How they treat the public. I say single out the police who have had a history with not following policys or who have complaints against them investigate them and deal with each one as needed. This is a tragic situation the police reacted with force because of a choice they made. I know in some cases you dont have a choice as a police officer if your life in threatened you dont have a option this wasnt the case. Eric Garner posed no threat and after laying lifeless had no aid from police or ems it is a real shame.
I don't think training is the issue. There's no way to train a person not to hate. You can't train an intolerant person to be tolerant. The best thing I can think of is to come up with a method to prevent people like this from becoming cops in the first place.
I think the police need to be retrained in public relations, especially in urban areas they are here to protect and serve not kill at will it did not take 17 officers to jump on one man because they thought he was selling untaxed cigarettes.. A changed has to be made.
What about cultural sensitivity training? Standing on the corner dose not mean someone is doing something wrong. I live in BedStuy Bklyn; since gentrification has started, I have never seen so many police in the neighborhood. With that being said, NYPD are harassing the young and old. They are throwing these young kids up against walls etc. the list doesn't stop
I believe ultimately, what we saw was a glimpse into the pervasive attutide that exist throughout the rank and file with in the NYPD. And I'd have to say, can you blame them, when you consider the consequences they face via CCRB, even when a wrong is substantiated, there is minimal consequences!
The police officers in NYC are murderers ..everyone in the scene must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law .Eric was a decent family from a religious home ..he was not just a big black man this man left his children wide and grandchild ..I will March until this stops today.
I agree with the officer who call earlier. It came from the chief and down. In oder for a captain to get promoted he or she will have to show at compstats that his or her precinct generate certain amount of summons and arrests.. the more the better. If the arrest numbers or arrest doesn't go up. The Chiefs embarrass the captains. So therefore when they go back to the precinct, he or she will call thier lieutenant and tell them to put pressure on the sergeant so the the sergeant put pressure on the police officers to provide more summons and arrest.
I am so sorry about the lost of Eric Garner, however we have to point fingers at both parties. He should of never resisted!!
This is a crying shame what happened to Eric Garner.This man was not threatening, not violent, and not aggressive! Why did they have to knock him down.They should have just cuffed him.
Please note the victim was deny medical help .They ignore his help for he complain he is out of breath.
Mr. Garner use to live in Gowanus Houses. His mother was the Director of Bethel Baptist DayCare where all of my children attended. The NYPD (especially the 76th Pct. And PSA1) in my area practices EXCESSIVE FORCE regularly here. The plain cloths officers actually stop pedestrians, search them and literally take (MONEY) from their pockets and then release them. I've seen this first hand because it happened to my child. They give out hundreds of trespassing tickets to young BLACK men that LIVE in this area, when they see their address on their ID and know they live here. Mr. Garner is no longer with his loved ones because POLICE think their above GOD, and they NEVER have to answer for THEIR CRIMES and there's MANY MANY OF CRIMES THEY COMMIT.

Stockton Police Shot at While Investigating Other Shooting
STOCKTON, Sep 30, 2011 (KTXL-TV - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Stockton Police are looking for a person who fired several rounds at uniformed police officers and civilian evidence technicians while they ironically were working a drive-by or walk-by shooting of a North Stockton home.
Police say five to ten rounds were heard zipping over their heads and into the trees. They say it was no accident or someone trying make noise.
"It was intended to be fired at these officers...fortunately it didn't hit those officers," said police spokesperson officer Pete Smith.
"It was a very brazen attack," Smith added.
Police say the original shooting was gang related but there is no evidence that second shooting incident involved the same shooter. The house was hit by shotgun rounds. One neighbor who heard the shots fired at officers ricochet off the pavement said it sounded like a .22 caliber gun.
Many neighbors would not go on camera with a shooter or shooters on the loose, but told Fox40 News that they were surprised that officers were targets of gunfire. Some expressed suspicion at anyone wearing a badge, saying they don't treat citizens right.
But police say neighbors were put in jeopardy.
"If they are shooting a police, what's going to stop them from taking any other action against any other person," said Smith.
There are many kids in the neighborhood, and homeowners go phone calls telling to remain inside. A SWAT team was not able to find the attacker.
One neighbor who did speak out is Phil Heinle, a 39-year-old resident of the neighborhood. He heard the attack on the house.
"Been getting a lot of gunfire (in the neighborhood), almost every night," said Heinle.
He got two phone calls from police warning him to stay inside. He does not feel the same toward police as some of his neighbors.
"We need more cops I guess but isn't that terrible? We need more and more cops to take care of things," said Heinle.
Smith said police officers have been shot at before and it's part of the job.
"Make no bones about it. We're still going to go out there and do the job we're supposed to be doing," said Smith.
Police are looking for tips as to who the attacker might be.

mod_spamhaus logs
Hello everyone,
I have just installed this mod following the how-to. I'm assuming if I were to check if it is really blocking ips listed in spamhaus databases I just need to look into my apache2 log files. Also adding IPs onto the whitelist do I separate them with a white space or comma? Thanks for the awesome how-to's!
I haven't tried this module, so I don't know if/where it logs.
Regarding the whitelist: I'd put one IP per line.
I discovered apache2 logs it for each of my virtual domains being attacked by spambots. Looking into the directory of one my virtual domains
and doing a tail -f error_log
I saw an entry in the logs like:
[Mon Dec 15 22:23:05 2008] [crit] [client 188.8.131.52] mod_spamhaus: address 184.108.40.206.sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org is blacklisted. Deny connection to www.mysite.com
Very cool! It has help reduce the abuse directed to all of my hosted web sites :D
Thanks! Falko for putting up this how-to.

Council seats on ballots in Oxnard, Port Hueneme
Traffic, sales taxes, schools also face voters
When voters in Oxnard and Port Hueneme go to the polls Tuesday, they will elect a county supervisor, mayor, treasurer and council members and decide ballot measures dealing with traffic and development limits, sales tax increases and school district reorganization.
In the Fifth Supervisorial District, which includes Oxnard and several surrounding areas, incumbent John Flynn is facing Oxnard Councilman John Zaragoza in a runoff election.
Flynn, an eight-term incumbent, won 48 percent of the vote and Zaragoza 35 percent in the June primary. Zaragoza is completing a third term on the council.
There will be no supervisorial election in the Third District, which includes Port Hueneme and nearby beach communities, because Supervisor Kathy Long won re-election in the primary.
In Oxnard, three candidates are vying for mayor, and nine are seeking two spots on the City Council.
The mayoral candidates are incumbent Tom Holden, an optometrist seeking a third two-year term; Councilman Tim Flynn, a college professor and high school teacher completing his first council term; and Robert L. Sumpter, a retired automotive services director.
Running for two seats on the five-member council are Deirdre Frank, an attorney and vice chairwoman of the Oxnard Planning Commission; Arthur Joe Lopez, a teacher and Oxnard School District trustee; Bryan MacDonald, a college professor and former Oxnard assistant chief of police; Saul Medina, a social worker and Oxnard planning commissioner; Irene Pinkard, an educational consultant, Realtor and Oxnard Union High School District board president; Carmen Ramirez, an attorney and community planning director for the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy; Lawrence Paul Stein, an accountant and community activist; Enrique Petris, a contract administrator for the federal government; and Al Velasquez Sr., a clerk and stevedore.
Danielle Navas, the city's assistant treasurer, and Martin Jones, a community activist and former Realtor, are running for Oxnard treasurer.
In Port Hueneme, six candidates are vying for two seats on the five-member City Council: Douglas Breeze, 56, a retired municipal executive; Ellis Green, 54, a risk manager; Lance Livermore, 50, an operations manager; Kesa Ryono, 46, a program manager; Sylvia Muñoz Schnopp, 49, a businesswoman; and Ada Seto, 48, a clerk for the Hueneme School District.
Measure V, the Oxnard Traffic Initiative, would require all commercial projects larger than 10,000 square feet and all housing projects of five units or more to win voter approval unless all intersections within a 5-mile radius of the project have been functioning at an acceptable level of service in the preceding year.
Proponents argue the initiative is needed to reduce traffic and slow the pace of growth in the city. Opponents say it would harm the local economy, while providing no resources to improve traffic.
Measure O would raise Oxnard's sales tax rate a half-cent, from 7.25 percent to 7.75 percent, to generate $10 million to $12 million a year for additional city services. Proponents say the extra money would be used for additional public-safety, park, youth, street and other services residents have said they want. Opponents say that it would hit people with the lowest incomes the hardest during tough economic times, and that the City Council cannot be trusted to spend the money appropriately.
Measure U would remove 3,200 Camarillo and Somis high school students from the Oxnard Union High School District and put them in a new district along with Camarillo's K-8 Pleasant Valley School District.
Pleasant Valley supports the measure, while Oxnard Union opposes it.
Opponents say it would negatively affect educational programs, district finances and the racial and ethnic makeup of schools while creating labor problems. Proponents say it would give Camarillo more local control over its high schools and improve educational programs by providing more continuity between elementary, middle and high schools.
In Port Hueneme, voters will decide Measure W, a proposed half-cent sales tax increase officials say is needed to maintain current city service levels. The increase, from 7.25 to 7.75 percent, would generate an estimated $250,000 a year.
The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Introducing myself and my journal: Girls rights are children's rights
About Me:
I am a Tanzanian lady and the LLB graduate at Tumaini University one of the Tanzanian Universities who is keen to see changes in my society and the world at large. I always dream of a world which is just and fair for everyone who lives in it. Currently I am a human rights activists particularly on human rights of children in Tanzania.Children's rights are being violated everyday and the perpetrators of the violation are mostly the blood related person.Those who are being trusted by these children to take good care of them. They are usually their fathers,mothers,uncles,unties, friends and other siblings. It hurts me a lot seeing most of the children in our society abused.I say to my self this is not right, something has to be done but despite of the laws which are in place things get much worse each new day and all these is due to bad tradition and customs of most the African societies. That is why I want to see change in not only my country but in the whole world.

Stock Market Story: Tech Rallies Despite Cisco
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- U.S. stock markets rallied into the close Thursday, absent of any negative geopolitical headlines, and as economic prospects continued to look brighter and brighter for many investors.
The S&P 500 (SPY) rose 0.43% to 1,955.18. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) increased 0.37% to 16,713.58. The Nasdaq (QQQ) advanced 0.43% to 4,453. The tech sector finished in the green despite the heavily-weighted fallout from Cisco's (CSCO) downsizing plans.
After a strong run-up for four sessions, the S&P 500 looks like it could bump against the short-term support/resistance area of 1,950, according to Schaeffer's Investment Research's senior equity analyst Joe Bell. But the analyst said weekly and daily charts are not signaling any overbought conditions.

Cote's expecting strong August retail sales on the back of a robust back-to-school shopping season amid signs of fewer layoffs and increasing wealth in the U.S. Read More: Dicker/Cramer: Oil Under $100/Barrel Confounds but Won't Last Long The markets began the day with a knee-jerk reaction to the gain in initial jobless claims last week. But the losses were short-lived in light of the very marginal increase of the four-week moving average to 295,750, a level consistent with low levels of layoffs. Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared to offer some conciliatory remarks to Western counterparts Thursday after saying overnight that he would do everything in his power to end the conflict in Ukraine. Meanwhile the Gaza ceasefire remained in force after Israeli and Palestinian negotiators agreed to a five-day extension of the truce in the region. Cisco tumbled 2.62% to $24.54 after the networking hardware company said it will cut 6,000 jobs due to uncertainty over emerging markets. Sprint (S)was down 1.89% to $5.71 after analysts who met with the telecom's new CEO Marcelo Claure said the company may soon aggressively cut its wireless prices. Silver Wheaton (SLW) fell 5% to $25.82 after missing analysts' estimates in the second quarter due to low silver prices. Boeing (BA) was up 1.75% to $124.11 as the company prepares to announce plans this fall to increase production of its single-aisle 737 jet.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

A reliable source whispered, "Actress Mini Mathur will be seen in an upcoming new show shortly. The show is most probably a kids-based show. In fact, the shoot for the same has already commenced."
Delighted to hear the news, we got in touch with the adorable actress to unveil more facts about her brand new show, but Mini preferred to remain tight-lipped as she said, "It's too early to talk about it."
Interestingly in the meanwhile, the actress has also tweeted, "My new talent... Making puppets & voicing them." This makes us wonder, whether the newly adopted talent is in any way connected to the new show!
We wish Mini all the good luck for her upcoming project. Furthermore, to stay updated, keep reading TellyBuzz.

This is generally a proprietary coffee that a few coffee shops have started to sell. The general consensus is that it is seriously under roasted coffee. The advertising hype that goes with it would agree with this assumption although the people selling this product will not say anything about how it is made. Because un/bairly roasted beans are extremely hard a special grinder is required to grind the coffee.
One of the common claims about white coffee is that it is higher in caffeine than normal coffee. Coffee loses caffeine by volume as it is roasted so it probably does have more caffeine by volume. By weight caffeine content actually goes up so the caffeine content by weight is probably lower. One theory that has been proposed (but once again this is a gauess and probably varies from shop to shop) is that the blend may be all or mostly robusta to boost teh caffeine.
In Australia a white coffee or a "flat white" can be any number of different espresso and milk of coffee and milk drinks.
In the US and UK you will from time to time hear coffee with milk or cream referred to as white coffee.
White coffee can also refer to a cup of instant with a dash of cold milk.
If you are interested in trying white coffee try a search on Google.
I always drink white coffee, the taste is strong and rich. There are so many brands out there. But the only brand of white coffee that satisfy me is BEVANDA. The taste of the BEVANDA premium white coffee is really awesome and perfect. I couldn't taste that elsewhere after I tasted it from a friend house. Unfortunately you cannot get it easily in the supermarket or hypermarket, but luckily I found that they got an online shop (http://shop.bevandavending.com), I'm buying online every week now, and the shipping fee is FREE in Malaysia! ^^
Here is the official site of BEVANDA: http://www.bevandavending.com
Yes, I bought the white coffee from BEVANDA. Their White Coffee is really good one. And their service is very good, I received the white coffee from them on the next day after I purchase. Thumbs up!!! Love their white coffee.
You can find white coffee called white knuckle in this amazing little coffee shop in Troy, Montana It's amazing ---- it's under roasted giving the coffee a wonderful nutty flavor.. The town is small, very very small right on the Montana Idaho border about 144 miles from Spokane, WA. The scenery is gorgeous there as well. You can also do a google search for white lightning coffee... It's also pretty good.
I first tried white coffee in Libby, MT, not too far from Troy. Hav'A'Java was the hut. It was great! I had it as a white chocolate frappe. The combination of the nutty flavor of white coffee and white chocolate was amazing.
That wound be Main Street Perk and they are exactly the reason I googled white coffee! So nice to see someone else noticed!
First time I had white roast coffee was at Main Street Perk in Troy, MT. They're the reason I'm searching white coffee now! Great shop, great coffee and sandwiches.
This is funny. We were just camping over by Troy. We had to run into town and we got some white coffee. We have now spent the last few days trying to find a place as good as the one in Montana. Amazing place.
ReBoot, a half coffee shop and half computer repair center makes a mean white coffee drink in Spokane.It's right across the street from the Fred Meyer on Thor.
You can find it at Cash and Carry in Spokane Valley.. Going there tright now to pick some up.. Happy java everyone!
I also found it in the cash and carry on division in Spokane Washington. Thanks to you and this forum. My girlfriend has been talking about it non stop and can now make her the white coffee she always raves about for far les than $5 per drink.

Would-be candidates planning to wait for the last minute to file for office be advised: Make sure you know when the "last minute" is. Depending on where you file, it could be earlier than you think.
Washington candidates have until "the close of business" to file their initial paperwork. Traditionally, that meant 5 p.m. across the state. It was common to see unopposed incumbents gather at the elections office about 4:45 p.m. on Friday of filing week to see if they'd drawn any challengers. Fence-sitting candidates might wait until 4:55 p.m. to get into a race with weak or no competition. And sometimes a person who'd become sidetracked with work, school, kids or life in general would rush in with just seconds to spare.
For people walking their petitions of candidacy into the Secretary of State's office, where papers for any office that covers more than one county, 5 p.m. is still the drop-dead time
But for county elections offices, where candidates for county, legislative and judicial offices contained within their boundaries must file, the deadline could be different.
Spokane County elections office closes at 4 p.m. as do Ferry, Lincon and Pend Oreille counties.
Stevens County elections closes at 3:30 p.m, Adams County at 4:30 p.m. and Whitman County at 5 p.m.
That's because many counties are struggling with tight budgets, and operating on shortened hours. Elections offices don't have to stay open extra to accept candidate petitions.
Candidates can also file by mail, or online. But the deadline for those petitions is 4 p.m., no matter where they are going.

My job search and the way my current boss is handling lay offs makes me want to crawl into bed with some krispy kremes and stay there for the next week.
I don't give into defeat, but that's how I feel right now.
That's all, sorry I haven't responded to everyone yet. I'll get to it, all my energy right now is going toward my job search and i feel weary.
I'll try to make my next post more upbeat since this is a downer.
Alright, here's a little recap:
Friday was a total buffet/gorgefest at work, followed by lots of drinking. Saturday I didn't go overboard on food, but my choices weren't exactly healthy. Sunday I got back into the swing of things big time with healthy meals (including some of the best fish tacos to date!!) I also did an outdoor run, ST, a mile walk with my bf AND a ton of cleaning. I burned over 700 cals, woohoo!!
On sunday I made a delicious pumpkin lentil soup.
Here's the recipe, in case anyone is interested:
Over medium heat in a large saucepan sautee 1 chopped onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil and seasonings (ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper) for about 3 minutes. Add chopped butternut squash (I used slightly more than half of a frozen package) and 1 can pumpkin (unsweetened) and cook on medium heat for approx. 7 minutes. Add 12 ounces of vegetable broth and increase heat to high to bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Add 1/2 or 3/4 cup red lentils and let simmer for an additional 7 minutes. Taste and add more seasoning if desired. In batches, puree soup in a blender or food processor and reheat if necessary. Voila, simple and delicious :-)
Nutrition facts (for about 6 servings):
Calories: 285; Fat 14; Fiber 6; Protein 13
Yesterday was a decent day, workout-wise. Out of excitement for Obama's win I jumped on the treadmill and did 3.5 miles of intervals. I'm so happy about the presidential election votes, I seriously cried yesterday - while laughing, it was a huge mixture of emotions. On the downside, I'm sad that Prop 8 looks like it will be passed (unless there's an overwhelming count of No's from the absentee ballots...) Voting to take away the rights of others is so backward and it makes me cringe that as a nation we don't seem to learn from the past. Civil rights battles shouldn't still need to be battles, but since it's the case, I'm willing to fight ;-)
Alright, that's all I've got to update. I'm planning on doing 30 minutes of hills tonight, as well as ST. Bikram tomorrow and a long run on saturday.
So this 28 day plan is definitely taking me longer than 28 days. I keep taking breaks whereas the plan calls for 6 workouts per week. Oops...
Ok, I must confess that this weekend was awful. Well, actually it was really fun, but it was awful for my diet. I haven't even stepped on a scale, which is very unusual for me. I also didn't get back on track on monday like I normally do, which is the kiss of death. Except for 1 day of ST, I haven't worked out in far too long...
Ok, so now I've been honest with everyone, and I feel a lil, tiny bit better ;-)
Now that the holidays are here, I'm going into maintenance mode. This weekend/week was a major scare for me, because last year I gained 6lbs over the holidays and it's taken me this entire year to lose about 10lbs. To be honest, I'm completely comfortable with my body right now. But I find it devastating if I gain 2lbs, I feel like a fat pig and it totally changes how I feel about myself. On the bright side, I weigh approximately 2-3lbs less than I did going into the holidays last year, so I'm a winner, yay! I'm going to stop while I'm ahead and pick back up in 2009.
My new goals are:
*maintain my weight at or under 130
*eat more protein
*continue training for the half marathon
*limit fast food to 2x per month
Alright, so it's simple and will hopefully be effective because I do not want to waste time undoing holiday damage next year.
Yesterday went very well. I fit in my cardio and ST, just as planned. I also ate really low, around 1200, which is abnormal for me...
Today I walked almost 1.5 miles on my lunch break, but then I ate mexican food instead of my planned soup. I should come in a little under 1800 cals though, which is in range. I was gonna go to yoga tonight, but I moved that to the weekend so I'm thinking i'll pick up a gossip mag and spend an hour on the elliptical. It's been awhile since I've done a long cardio workout.
This morning got off to a lovely start {sarcasm}. I woke up a little before 5 to find out that my bf still wasn't back from San Diego (where he went to finish cleaning his apartment so he could get his deposit back). It was very dark and foggy outside and I was certain he had died in a car crash. I was calling every 2 minutes and he didn't pick up. And to make matters worse, he had borrowed my car because it gets better gas mileage, but he took his car keys too! So I was stranded with no way to get to work. He finally picked up his phone at 7 and I was almost an hour late to work, but my boss didn't seem to care and I suppose it all worked out.
Yesterday was supposed to be a ST day but I was exhausted and fell asleep early. I planned on working out this morning, but I was kinda distraught and it didn't happen. Oh well, tonight I'll do cardio (30 min of hills on the treadmill) and chest/back/abs ST and be back on track. Cals yesterday were low (under 1500).
On another note, I've decided my cat needs to lose weight. He's a handsome fatty, but I want him to live forever and being overweight probably won't achieve that. I've already cut down on how much food he eats to 1 tbsp. of tuna per day, and then I leave the dry food out. I'm thinking about getting a dispenser so that he can't just munch all day long. Any suggestions would be useful. The past two nights I've made a point of making him chase things for as long as I can hold his interest.
Alright, I'm done rambling for the day ;-)

"Here Comes the Flood" Sneak Previews, Spoilersby Steve Marsi at . Comments
The next new episode of Grey's Anatomy, "Here Comes the Flood," will air on Thursday, October 9 at 9 p.m. Below are a couple of clips to tide us over!
The first preview shows the flood in question as water spills into Seattle Grace - and not in short supply. Richard struggles to keep things under control ...
The second sneak peek is even better - Derek wants Meredith to start "our life" by kicking out roommates Alex and Izzie, who don't take kindly to the news.
Follow the jump to watch!
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Grey's Anatomy, Spoilers
What was Dr Wyatt's comments to Christina about losing Mer in the episode Here Comes the Flood?(after she said you've lost Mer)
i think that izzie should stay but alex needs to go. and i saw the spoiler of alex and another woman how does that work for izzie i thought they were..... well u know. thats gonna cause problems. i think that derek will move in and they (mer) will get wierd with each other and they will split again hey they need to do something to keep us on the edge of our seats and always wanting more right
I dunno wat to think I want merder to have alone time and stuff to make it a REAL relationship but I really want Izzy to stay I dont care where alex lives but Izzy is just soooo nice and really should stay.
The person who should be kicked out 'in the ass' is Alex!!! its okay for Izzie to stay in there (I hope George back to move in, I surely miss the Trio),at least MerDer not married yet and have kids! Besides,remember when the bomb episodes,Mer said that George-Izzie have to stay in that house no matter what happen.
I think Alex and Izzie will stay! Alex needs some man friends... this could be good for him and McDreamy! I am also looking forward to the new show following GA next week. Life on Mars loos awesome from what I have seen so far!
i cant wait.
izzie and alex in their own place, would make things so much more interesting.
i wonder if he will change his man whore way??? ahh i cant wait. & as for mer/der i hope she chooses him this time, instead of leaving him on the back burner like always! =/
Enough already with the wanting season 1 and 2. The show needs to progress not regress. George should live with Izzie, not Alex. That way we would see some Gizzie love. Alex and Izzie make me throw up a bit in my mouth.
Hey did anyone see the first preview here...?! You know, the thing with the FLOOD! It looks pretty awesome to me! Do you guys think it's getting really dangerous for any of our Fab 5? Or is it just a leak? Doesn't look like it to me. Awesome, I love catastrophes! ;)
Now THATS the Izzie I remember, the elevator scene was priceless. I have a feeling this episode is definitely going to be a good one like S1 and S2
eat the muffin
taste the muffin
remember the muffin
lmao!!! :D

Crescent Communities unveiled plans for an ambitious office and hotel development on Tryon Street on Monday, the same day the Charlotte City Council approved the firms $10.3 million bid to buy a city-owned parcel near the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
The firm wants to build another mixed-use project on the second site, which would include a 450-room hotel, 70,000 square feet of retail, including a grocery store, and 600 apartments, according to a city memo.
Crescents concept for the 3-acre site it owns at Tryon and Stonewall streets has been public since last year, when the company announced it had picked the Little architectural firm to begin designing a master plan for the property. The company hadnt, until now, publicly unveiled detailed sketches of the buildings or the design philosophy behind them.
The real estate development firm said Monday that the plans for the project now named Tryon Place are gaining speed.
Crescent officials released artists renderings showing a 27-story tower, as well as green space, street-level retail and a tree-lined front porch plaza fronting Tryon that features shady seating areas and spaces for musicians and food vendors.
This will be a transformative addition to uptown, said Todd Mansfield, president of Crescent Communities. We cant wait to get some concrete flowing.
Officials said the project would include 500,000 to 1 million square feet of office space, which would make it larger than the 20-story, 395,000-square-foot NASCAR Plaza building.
Design on Crescents project is expected to be completed by years end; construction wont start, however, until anchor tenants sign on and leasing reaches levels necessary to support a construction loan.
Crescent officials said they are negotiating with potential anchor tenants. The building could still shrink or grow depending on the demand.
Company officials expressed optimism, pointing to the improving economy and tightening vacancy rates for office space uptown.
The market is ready for new product here, said Whit Duncan, president of Crescent Communities commercial division. Were pretty confident well bring something here that will capture the needs and desires of the tenant base.
Crescent has hired Balfour Beatty for pre-construction services and is working with the global design firm WATG, as well as smart-growth and livability expert Fred Kent of Project for Public Spaces.
The uptown real estate market has been showing signs of strength lately, but most recent project announcements and groundbreakings have been for apartment complexes.
Developers have been reluctant to build new office towers uptown since the recession.
The 48-story Duke Energy Center, which opened in 2010, was the last major center-city office tower to go up. Real estate experts have said little office space has been available uptown for a major company since Chiquita Brands International moved into NASCAR Plaza in 2012.
Portman Holdings, the Atlanta-based company that built the Westin hotel in 2003, announced plans last May for a 15-story, 350,000-square-foot office building on top of the propertys parking deck at South College and Stonewall streets.
Center City Partners President Michael Smith said Crescent is responding to a need in the office space market. The vacancy rate for the most desirable class of office space uptown has dropped from 15.1 percent in 2010 to 6.8 percent currently.
To me, that spells out a market that needs more supply, he said. If we want to continue to bring jobs, weve got to continue bringing more supply.
Crescent officials also want to create a second mixed-use development on 3.6 acres the city owns a short distance down Stonewall Street, across from the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
The City Council on Monday evening approved Crescents plan to spend $10.3 million to buy the parcel.
Another company could still present an upset bid. But if no one puts forth an offer, Crescent will move ahead with its plan to create another mixed-use development there.
Two other companies put in bids for the property MacCompanys LLC and Portman Holdings.
The land was created roughly 10 years ago when the city was preparing to build the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
The city and N.C. Department of Transportation remade the I-277 interchange with Caldwell Street by narrowing the on and off ramps. That created surplus land, which the city would sell.
The proceeds must go to pay off a $20 million loan for the NASCAR Hall, backed by Bank of America and Wachovia, now Wells Fargo. The city must also repay the state DOT the $5 million it spent reconfiguring the interchange.
The city hoped to sell the land years ago, but the 2008 recession depressed the uptown real estate market.
There are five parcels for sale.
The first piece at Stonewall and McDowell streets sold last year for $3.84 million. Proffit Dixon Partners is building a six-story, 230-unit luxury apartment complex called Fountains Uptown.

After weeks of toiling, practicing and giving a no of heart stopping renditions, K for Kishore has finally declared its Heir Apparent. And it is none other than, Bengali babu Arnab Chakrabarthy. Telly Buzz caught up with the singer to know more.
Arnab is not new in the field of singing and has done playback singing for a couple of films like Khakee and Family before coming on to K for Kishore. We asked Arnab how it felt like to be the winner of the show. Arnab replies, �I feel honoured to be known as Kishoreda's Heir Apparent. He has always been my inspiration. It was a matter of great pride to have received my award from a singer like Asha Bhosle who has shared stage space with a legend like Kishore da.�
With so many reality shows happening on television, what does he feel about the concept? Arnab quips, �Reality shows are a big boost to any singers� career. Once you have participated in a reality show, you are automatically in the limelight. Winners of such shows get fame without doing any playback whatsoever. In fact, I have done more playback singing compared to singers like Toshi et al, but they are more successful.�
Adding further, Arnab says, �I took part in this show only on condition, that there would be no audience voting. The voting pattern in reality shows is such that, most of the times; it results in the ouster of talented singers. I agree the TRPs� of this show were low due to the difference in format; but it�s a small price to pay if it is necessary to retain quality singers.�
While Arnab Chakrabarthy won the title of the Heir Apparent, Chintan Bakiwala bagged the honour of singing for Nagesh Kukunoor�s upcoming film on Kishore Kumar. Commenting on this Arnab says, �Chintan deserved to sing for Nagesh Kukunoor�s film. He has a voice that suits Kishore da's. Moreover, I do not want to ape anyone. I just want to create a niche for myself in the industry. At the end of the day, it was a fair competition.�
Telly Buzz congratulates Arnab on his victory and wishes him
success for all his future endeavors.
