'Texas Chainsaw 3D' Trailer Introduces the New Leatherface, Same as the Old Leatherface
Movie News By Nathan Adams on September 13, 2012 | Comments (1)There's a certain segment of the filmgoing audience who's going to go see every movie about a group of hard-partying young people who go out to a remote location to get sadistically slaughtered by hillbillies, no matter how many times the plot gets overdone, and no matter how many entries in this cookie-cutter genre end up being just plain bad. If you're one of these people, then boy does the new trailer for Texas Chainsaw 3D look like it's advertising a movie for you. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a movie franchise that's already been sequalized, rebooted, and reborn into the ground, but it's yet to have an entry presented in glorious three dimensions, so it seems the suits in charge have deemed that there's still some life to be sucked from this old girl yet. From the look of things, Texas Chainsaw 3D seems to be telling a very simple story, that of partying young people and chainsaw wielding maniacs. But it also seems to be working in the same old aesthetic that's responsible for all of these horror movie remakes being so forgettable. This movie looks glossily generic, and fails to capture any of the gritty grossness of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre that's made it such an enduring horror favorite down through the decades.
Eli Roth Is Ready to Invite You to 'Thanksgiving'
In Development By Nathan Adams on August 23, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhen Grindhouse hit theaters back in 2007, its main attractions were Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's feature length segments of the anthology, Planet Terror and Death Proof. But after the release came and went, a lot of the buzz surrounding the project wasn't about the two films that played back-to-back, but the series of trailers for fake films that got sandwiched in between. Rodriguez has already launched his fake trailer, Machete, into a real-life feature film that was successful enough to spawn a sequel – but what about Eli Roth and his segment, Thanksgiving? After Grindhouse got released, much of the praise for the tribute to B-movies came from how authentic to shoddy old '70s advertisements Roth's holiday-themed horror trailer was. The stupid voice narrating, the terrible acting, the bad dialogue, the person roasted like a turkey…it had it all. Roth has intimated in the past that he has plans to turn Thanksgiving into a real-life feature, but that's been going on for years now, and we've still got nada. So what's the deal? Well, according to a new interview the director did with Behind the Thrills, he's finally cracked the story, is preparing a screenplay, and presumably will keep things moving from there.
'Paranormal Activity 4' Trailer: The Return of Faulty Wiring and Shadowy Figures, With Bonus Video Chat
Movie News By Nathan Adams on August 1, 2012 | Comments (2)Today is a great day for fans of lights going on and off and stationary webcam footage, for today is the day that the trailer for the new Paranormal Activity has dropped. If you remember, last year, directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman went retro and took the series back to the boxy camcorder days of the '80s, which was a fun way to add some zest to the experience of thinking that you might have seen something move over there in the background for a minute, but then it was gone. Well, this year they're back in the saddle, directing Paranormal Activity 4, and it turns out they've found yet another way to spice up amateur looking footage that leads up to a figure standing behind the main character and then a fade to black: they've added video chat. Yes, Paranormal Activity 4 takes the story of haunted sisters Kristi and Katie and brings it back into today's world. This time around, the remaining family members seem to have moved next door to a teenage girl or something, and also there's a kid who has electro powers like Powder…but none of that is really important. The Paranormal Activity movies aren't so much traditional storytelling as they are the crafting of an experience. It's all about sitting on the edge of your seat, never knowing when something freaky is going to happen next, and then screaming your lungs out when something suddenly does.
'Silent Hill: Revelation 3D' Trailer Reveals That This Halloween's Horror Releases Are Still Embracing 3D
Movie News By Nathan Adams on July 27, 2012 | Comments (1)If you're not familiar with the Silent Hill franchise, whether we're talking the video games or the 2006 film that was inspired by them, their basic conceit is that the sleepy town of Silent Hill is connected to a hellish and freaky alternate dimension called Otherworld. This isn't the greatest situation for the town's inhabitants, because it means that one minute they can be walking down the street minding their own business, and the next hellfire and brimstone could be raining down on them them and they might have to do battle with any number of freaky and dangerous creatures. Six years after the original Silent Hill comes a sequel, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D. This time around, Sean Bean is back, and when he mysteriously goes missing it's up to his now-teenaged daughter (Adelaide Clemens) to navigate the town's nightmares and release him from the clutches of all the evil whatsits. And if that doesn't sound horrific enough for you, this poor girl also has to deal with the stresses of trying to acclimate herself to a new high school while everything around her turns to ash and spider monsters are attacking from all angles. New high schools are the worst.
Devouring 'Nightbreed' Or, Why Even Dead People Frown Upon Necrophilia
Features By Adam Charles on July 27, 2012 | Comments (1)Welcome back to Junfood Cinema. We break laws for meat. Column-owner Brian Salisbury is currently further North than the Northest of the Dakotas covering the Fantasia Film Fest in Montreal. If he knew what Canadians really did he might have rethought his trip. The most I know is that he was alive and well two days ago. Or do I? Canadians are weird and they harbor weird things. I know that because I've seen today's movie that's set in Calgary, directed by a famous author who writes famously weird stories and starring a famous director who directs famously weird movies in Canada and that makes me a certifiable expert on 1990 Canada. Everything else I learned about Canada I got from Dear Zachary and dammit things just got real and now I'm crying. But back to Canada being South of normal and North of Dakota, if today's film is any indication as to the happenings of what goes on with the dead in that region of the world then, well, free healthcare is making a ton of sense. I know I'm supposed to plug something clever about how we integrate food in with the movie that we write about, but I just finished re-watching this movie and there is a big pile of man-poo-blob-cyst-slobber creature thing that resembles a Pod fusion between the Brundle Fly and a bowl of clam chowder. So, thank you Clive Barker and David Cronenberg, because appetite destructed. Now about this movie Nightbreed…
'Jack and Diane' Trailer Starts Crazy-Sweet But Gets Crazy-Scary
Movie News By Nathan Adams on July 24, 2012 | Comments (1)At first glance, Jack and Diane looks like a coming-of-age movie about two young girls exploring their sexuality and trying to find their identities – which would have been just fine on its own (there hasn't been a good movie about a young girl's erotic journey since Rochelle, Rochelle). But, towards the end of its new trailer, Jack and Diane provides a twist. You see, this isn't just a story about two blossoming young girls who are experiencing changes in their bodies and minds because of out of whack hormone levels. Oh no. The changes these girls are going through are much too violent for that. After a brief period of new discovery, problems with parents, close calls on skateboards, and threats of moving to new schools (you know, kid stuff), the focus of this ad turns to blood-churning, skin-ripping, and hair-sprouting. Good heavens, this isn't just a metaphor for becoming an adult, this little indie romance is actually a horror movie! And if that isn't enough to get you on the hook, the film also promises music by super-mellow and super-great Icelandic music-makers Múm. Young love, body horror, chill tunes…what more could a film fan ask for?
'Curse of Chucky' Will Make Ginger Dolls in Little Overalls Scary Again
In Development By Nathan Adams on June 25, 2012 | Comments (2)The 1988 horror film Child's Play told the story of a psychotic serial killer named Charles Lee Ray getting his soul trapped inside a red-headed Good Guys doll that was known simply as Chucky. Twenty-four years later, Curse of Chucky sees the killer getting banished to somewhere even worse than inside the body of a doll: straight to video. A fifth sequel to Child's Play has been rumored for a while now, but today Moviehole brings us solid information on when the film will come together, and what it will be about. This latest sequel – which is set to start filming in September – is planned to skip theaters and get released straight to DVD. That has to be seen as sad news for Chucky enthusiasts, but fans of the freckled one shouldn't fret. Once you get passed the disappointment of hearing that your favorite psychotic in overalls is getting pushed out of the wide release game, there's plenty of good news here to help that medicine go down smooth.
Horror Legend Clive Barker Has Been Dug Up to Re-Write and Direct 'Zombies vs. Gladiators'
In Development By Nathan Adams on June 5, 2012 | Comments (2)Despite the fact that none of these movies that pit two famous movie creatures against each other and none of these B-movie tributes that present material that's self-aware in its schlockiness have managed to become runaway hits, Hollywood has deemed them to be a trend. And like any other trend, it's not going to go away until it's run so far into the ground that it's almost time to dig it back up for a revival. The next big entry into the purposefully cheesy something vs. something genre is coming from Amazon.com's Amazon Studios, and it's going to be called Zombies vs. Gladiators. You see, zombie movies have been a thing for a long time, and gladiator movies have been a thing for a long time…so why not mash them together? It worked so well for Cowboys vs. Aliens after all. All snarkiness and genre exploitation burnout aside, Zombies vs. Aliens does have one thing going for it that none of its predecessors did: pedigree. Amazon Studios may have a set-up where pitches and screenplays are submitted and then voted on, but that doesn't mean that they can't hire big Hollywood names to make the projects they decide to green light; and that's exactly what they've decided to do here. Despite the fact that he hasn't done much writing lately, and he hasn't directed a film since 1995's Lord of Illusions, somehow Clive Barker has been convinced to both re-write the Zombies vs. Gladiators script and serve as its director.
Second 'House at the End of the Street' Trailer Loses the Cleavage, Tells Us a Ghost Story
Movie News By Nathan Adams on June 1, 2012 | Comments (3)The first trailer for Mark Tonderai's upcoming horror film House at the End of the Street gave us a glimpse of the haunted house horrors that its star Jennifer Lawrence would be encountering over the course of its runtime, but mostly it just existed to assure us that we would all be getting a nice long look at Lawrence's boobs if we chose to go to the theater and buy a ticket. As effective as that marketing strategy probably is, going to the cleavage well twice in a row would have looked tacky, so the second trailer for House at the End of the Street jettisons the boobs almost completely and instead gives us a better feel for who these characters are and where the dangers they're facing come from. It seems that Lawrence is playing the new girl who just moved to town. One of the first people she meets in her new burg is a cute but haunted boy who's got a lot of murder in his past (Max Thieriot). Townies say that his sister killed his parents died quite viciously and later drowned, but also there's rumors that she may still be around…doing creepy things…over there in that spooky looking house. This is bad news for Lawrence's well-being as well as for her budding romance with the boy.
Eli Roth's 'The Green Inferno' Has Its 'Cannibal Holocaust' Connections Confirmed
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 30, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAfter the recent announcement that Eli Roth would be making his return to directing horror movies with a project called The Green Inferno, all that we really knew about the new film was its title and the fact that Roth said he was inspired to make it during the time he spent in Chile. For fans of flesh-eating schlock (and due to some deft Googling, me), however, that was clue enough to suggest that Roth's new movie might be taking some inspiration from the cult classic 1980 film Cannibal Holocaust, which used the term to describe the jungle, and the 1988 film Natura contro, which also went under the name The Green Inferno, and was sometimes marketed as Cannibal Holocaust II. Sure enough, a recent report from Variety confirms that this is indeed the case. The focus of Variety's reporting is on the fact that Roth's movie has had its German distribution rights bought by Constantin Films, but the interesting part of the article is the confirmation that this new The Green Inferno is indeed connected to those Italian films of the '80s. The report says that Roth's script follows the doomed adventures of an "idealistic student" and a "group of naive do-gooders" as their plane crashes in the Peruvian jungle and they get captured by cannibalistic tribesmen. Sounds kind of like The Grey, only if you trade out liberals for oil workers and cannibals for wolves.
Third 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' Trailer Finally Puts the Emphasis on Lincoln the President
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 28, 2012 | Comments (1)At this point we're already knee-deep in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter's promotional campaign. We've posted the film's first trailer, which highlighted Lincoln's skill with an axe; its red band trailer, which put the spotlight on how crazy its action can get, and now the film's third trailer is making the rounds; and it's a promotional piece that finally hammers home the fact that this is a story about Abraham Lincoln. It's been strange up to this point how little this film's advertising efforts have stressed the fact that it has a completely ludicrous premise, given that said premise is going to be the main attraction for fans of genre filmmaking. This is a movie about the 16th president of the United States slaughtering blood sucking monsters with kung-fu skills. That's absurd! Why don't we focus on that for a minute?
'Maniac' Red Band Trailer Sees Elijah Wood Using His Otherworldy Qualities For Evil
Movie News By Nathan Adams on May 25, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAbout a week ago a teaser trailer leaked to the net for Franck Khalfoun's remake of the William Lustig horror film, Maniac. It gave us a glimpse of a knife-wielding, psychotic Elijah Wood, but wasn't quite ready for consumption and got pulled down before everyone could see it. Well now the powers that be have deemed it permissible for the public to take a look at the film, and Twitch has gotten their hands on a new cut of the trailer; which is full-length, very red band, and very not safe for work.
Eli Roth Will Return to Making Disgusting Horror Films With 'The Green Inferno'
In Development By Nathan Adams on May 17, 2012 | Comments (5)After Eli Roth brought us Cabin Fever in 2002 and then the first Hostel film in 2005, everyone just assumed that he was going to be one of the big horror directors going forward for the next decade. But then he just made a Hostel sequel in 2007 and kind of…stopped. In recent years he's been spending most of his time producing and taking various acting jobs, with little indication when or if he would ever return to directing. But today that has changed. A press release from Exclusive Media and Worldview Entertainment has announced that the two companies have teamed with Roth to bring us his next foray into the horror genre, The Green Inferno. Little is known about the project at this point, but quotes from both Worldview CEO Christopher Woodrow and Exclusive Media executive Alex Walton specifically tout Roth's past financial success, so one can assume that the director won't be straying too far from the slasher film formula that brought him big box office dollars with Cabin Fever and Hostel.
Casting For David Gordon Green's 'Suspiria' Kicks Off With a Pair of Isabelles
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on May 16, 2012 | Be the First To CommentDavid Gordon Green has been talking about helming a remake of Dario Argento's warped ballet-academy-turned-witch-coven horror movie classic Suspiria for so long that it started to sound like a project that was never really going to happen. But then, a little over a month ago, a press release came out officially naming it as the director's next project. Suddenly the idea that there was actually going to be a new take on Suspiria coming our way looked a lot more likely. And now that the first round of casting on the film has been completed, cold hard reality has set in. Variety reports that the film's lead role, that of a young student from America who travels to a well-respected, European ballet academy, has gone to Isabelle Fuhrman. At only the age of 15, Fuhrman is an actress still at the very beginning of her career, but many people might already know her as the creepy little girl in Orphan, or for playing the side character of Clove in this year's smash hit The Hunger Games.
Julianne Moore in Talks to Mother Chloe Moretz in 'Carrie' Remake
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on April 16, 2012 | Comments (2)Back when it was announced that Chloe Moretz would be the new girl getting laughed at it Kimberly Peirce's upcoming remake of the horror classic Carrie, it was also rumored that the director had a couple of names in mind for Carrie's overbearing, fundamentalist mother. According to word on the street, either Jodie Foster or Julianne Moore were the top choices. Of course, word on the street isn't always very reliable, so that was news to be taken with a grain of salt. In this case, however, the gossip-mongers seem to have been spot on. Bloody Disgusting is now reporting that things have progressed with Moore to the point where she's in serious talks to take the role. If things work out and Moore comes on board, she's going to have some pretty big shoes to fill. Piper Laurie already portrayed the mother character very memorably in the Brian De Palma-directed Carrie, to the point where she's fondly thought of as one of the creepiest and most evil villains in horror history. Moore already has one strike against her as far as horror fans are concerned due to her involvement in Gus Van Sant's absurd Psycho remake, so if this film turns out to be as unnecessary and awful as that one, she could be marked as a pariah for life.
Interview: Drew Goddard and Kristen Connolly Talk Scream Queens, the Logistics of Blood and Doing Things in Their Underwear for 'Cabin in the Woods'
Features By Kevin Carr on April 11, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat can be said about a movie that you're not supposed to talk about? A lot, apparently. Recently, Kristen Connolly, star of the new genre-bending horror film Cabin in the Woods sat down with us to talk about her role in the film and the production in general. She also let us in on a few secrets about her earlier career in soap operas and what she wears to cook eggs in the morning. At Kristen's side was director Drew Goddard to throw in his two cents about how the rumor mill has been treating his movie and why he doesn't like movie trailers or even posters. And there's blood. Lots and lots of blood.
David Gordon Green's Planned 'Suspiria' Remake Now Officially Happening
Movie News By Nathan Adams on April 10, 2012 | Comments (1)Director David Gordon Green has been trying to get a remake of Italian filmmaker Dario Argento's horror classic Suspiria off the ground for several years now. But in the last year or so he's finally seen quite a bit of movement on the project. Back last March he was hopeful that he would be able to make it his next job, and as recently as December he was saying that things were looking good. He had a script turned in, a budget was being calculated, and he just needed to find the funding in order to go ahead with filming. Finally that day has come, because Crime Scene Pictures has sent out a press release announcing that their next project is David Gordon Green's Suspiria. According to the release, Green adapted Argento's film into a new screenplay alongside Chris Gebert, casting is currently ongoing, and shooting on the film is scheduled to start in September. Producers Adam Ripp and Rob Paris said of the project, "We love the style and energy of the original film — and David's script brilliantly updates the world, presenting a rare opportunity to create an elegant, classic horror film."
Not a New Idea Was Stirring: 'Silent Night, Deadly Night' Remake Ready to Shoot
Movie News By Nathan Adams on April 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIn what's sure to be polarizing news for people who fondly remember the 1984 Christmas-themed slasher film, Silent Night, Deadly Night, Variety is reporting that Anchor Bay has picked up the North American distribution rights to a remake of the film, which is set to begin shooting next month. If all goes according to plan, that means it should be hitting U.S. theaters this year, just in time for the holiday season. For those who may not remember, Silent Night, Deadly Night told the story of Billy, a young boy who was traumatized by the sight of watching his parents get killed by a guy in a Santa suit, so he grows up to be a murderous, psychopathic mall Santa himself. It's basically like a reverse Batman, but with a charming Christmas theme and buckets full of gore.
'Carrie' Remake Looking to Douse One of Two Actresses in Pig's Blood
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 25, 2012 | Comments (1)The upcoming remake of Carrie is a continual tale of good news and bad news. The bad news is that they're once again remaking a movie that still holds up perfectly well. But the good news is that they've hired director Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry) to take on the project, and if there's anyone who can do something interesting with the material, it's probably her. So far, this pattern holds true for the casting as well. The good news is that Megan Fox is not being mentioned as a possibility for taking on the title role. Carrie is supposed to be homely and awkward, and picturing Megan Fox trying to play the weird girl that everyone picks on was enough to make one lose their marbles. The bad news comes from a Vulture report that the casting of the role has come down to one of two names, and, once again, the actresses being looked at seem way too conventionally attractive and charming to be good choices. Their sources have the decision being made between either Let Me In star Chloë Moretz or Marley & Me actress Haley Bennett.
Red Band 'Piranha 3DD' Trailer is More of the Same, But Shows the D-Cups
Movie News By Nathan Adams on March 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIf you watched the green band trailer for Piranha 3DD, then you've already seen most of what the new red band trailer has to offer. You would think that for a property this intent on gaining attention by being shocking and schlocky, there would be some sick, shocking stuff saved for the restricted audience ads…but not really. All of the same high points are here: Christopher Lloyd ranting as a crazy scientist, David Hasselhoff being a cocky dick, Gary Busey getting down and dirty with some fish heads, some fish heads getting down and dirty with Katrina Bowden, and Ving Rhames showing off his gun leg. While not getting much of anything new is kind of a disappointment, those high points are admittedly pretty high. And there is one (two?) big difference between this new trailer and the first one that got released: boobs. Lots of them. Pretty much the first 30 seconds of this ad consists of bare boobs on display while a narrator tries his best to talk in a gravely, Christian Bale voice. So if you're not at work or anything, and you haven't seen a trailer for this movie yet, you should probably make it a point to watch this one. Because things are always better with boobs.

UK flight delays glitch 'now fixed' but delays continue
A telephone glitch that caused hundreds of flights to be delayed has now been resolved, but disruption is continuing.
Thousands of passengers faced cancellations and long waits after the National Air Traffic Service (Nats) internal phone system broke down.
Affected airports included Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Cardiff and Glasgow.
Nats announced at 1930 GMT that the problem had been fixed, but some airports said delays could continue into Sunday.
A fault with a complicated internal telephone system brought delays and cancellations for thousands of travellers today.
The controllers at the air traffic control centre in Swanwick, Hampshire, use it to swap important data about aircraft, it's vital to help them perform their job even though many of them are sitting in the same room.
That system failed to work this morning as they tried to switch from the quieter, night time mode, to the busier daytime mode.
It meant they couldn't open all the work stations needed to cope with a normal Saturday, so they've been running a reduced service ever since.
Instead of 3,500 flights, they've only been able to process 2,800 or so.
Nats tell me they've never had this problem before, and that it's totally different to a computer glitch that caused some delays last summer.
Even so airline Ryanair isn't happy at having to cancel and disrupt so many flights. In a statement it acknowledges that problems occur, but asks the question "where is the contingency?"
It's the airlines that normally pick up the bill for compensation.
A passenger who said he had been waiting five hours at London's Gatwick airport earlier told the BBC that people had been "crying, distraught and angry".
"One passenger has missed their sister's wedding," Tom Flatman, from Brighton, said.
'Severely delayed'By 16:00 GMT Nats said it had handled 2,576 flights compared with 2,905 at the same time last week.
Ryanair said 300 of its flights were delayed on Saturday with 12 cancelled, and called on the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to act.
"While we acknowledge problems can occur, where is the contingency?" it said in a statement.
Heathrow had cancelled 228 flights by 18:55 GMT, a spokeswoman said, adding that there was now an average one-hour delay for departures.
By Saturday evening Gatwick airport said it was "returning to normal operations". A spokeswoman said it was "not expecting serious disruption" on Sunday.
Delays at Stansted averaged two to four hours, a spokeswoman for the airport said, adding that schedules were expected to return to normal on Sunday but warning there could be "minor delays".
No Easyjet flights have yet been cancelled but many were subject to delays.
"Start Quote
End QuoteIt is not the first time that the state-of-the-art facility has hit the headlines""
Eurocontrol - which manages European air safety - said around 1,300 flights, or 8% of all air traffic on the continent, had been "severely delayed".
Meanwhile, elsewhere:
- A spokesman said Manchester Airport had been "only minimally affected" and operations were now back now back to normal
- Leeds Bradford, Doncaster Robin Hood and Newcastle airports all reported minor delays, with flights to London worst affected
- Belfast International Airport and Dublin Airport reported a number of cancellations
- A spokeswoman for Birmingham Airport said around 60 flights were affected, the majority were delayed by under an hour
Nats said the problem at its Swanwick centre, in Hampshire, arose in the early hours of Saturday morning when the night-time operation failed to properly switch over to the daytime system.
"The problem that arose this morning with the ground communications system in the area control operations room at Nats Swanwick has now been resolved and operations are returning to normal," a spokesman said.
Biggest in EuropeThe software failure happened when the 23 controllers working overnight were due to hand over to the 125 on the day shift at around 06:00 GMT.
"To be clear, this is a very complex and sophisticated system with more than a million lines of software," the spokesman added.
"This is not simply internal telephones, it is the system that controllers use to speak to other [air traffic control] agencies both in the UK and Europe and is the biggest system of its kind in Europe."
Compensation for delayed flights
- In certain circumstances EU travellers can claim back up to €600 for delayed flights
- Claims can be made for flights that were delayed up to six years ago
- Airlines should always provide refreshments after a two-hour delay and accommodation if it the flight is delayed overnight
The BBC's transport correspondent Richard Westcott said it was a totally different issue to a software problem that hit the control centre in summer.
Nats head of operations Juliet Kennedy told the BBC: "We want to apologise to people. We are very aware of how much inconvenience this has caused people."
'Shambolic'The CAA advised customers affected to contact the airline concerned to discuss their case.
It pointed out that customers could claim assistance from their airline if they were delayed for several hours, including being given food and drink, usually in vouchers.
Live updates

At Stansted, Alena Kontza was stuck on a Ryanair plane that had been delayed for three hours. She told the BBC passengers had been given "absolutely no information" and "it's been nothing less than shambolic".
"People are really aggravated, children are crying, people want to leave, people want to change to different planes, it's an absolute nightmare," she said.
A spokeswoman for British Airways said: "We are organising hotels for customers when appropriate. In addition, customers on cancelled services of course have the opportunity to claim a refund or rebook."
Independent aviation analyst Chris Yates said it had been a "trying and a very tough day", adding: "There's going to be a lot of hard questions asked of Nats over the coming days.
"In the meantime we have to get back to a normal service."

Tina Fey Gets Her Solo Starring Movie With 'The Taliban Shuffle'
In Development By Samantha Wilson on February 21, 2014 | Comments (1)While Tina Fey has made her mark in the film world through a number of movies even before she ruled the proverbial comedy club as Liz Lemon, her film career has been characterized by two important factors: those movies have often been flops, and she hasn't gotten her due time as the star of her own vehicle yet. Obviously, Fey gets top billing whenever she's in a film, but it's often shared with the likes of another extremely likeable comedian who's there to split the limelight — and a little bit of the downfall, if we're going to be honest — when it comes premiere time: Paul Rudd (Admission), Steve Carell (Date Night), and Amy Poehler (Baby Mama). Now Fey finally has the chance to shine on her own with a film that she's also producing alongside Lorne Michaels. The Taliban Shuffle is an adaptation of journalist Kim Parker's book "The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan." Fey will be portraying Parker back in 2002 as she travels on assignment to Kabul, Afghanistan. Parker has little experience with world travel and does not speak Arabic, so her job proves to be difficult from the onset. But as she continues to push on through and get her assignment done, she grows to love the Middle East and the people who live there — while also feeling like peace is impossible for the turmoiled region.

The New York Times, in an editorial, said the following:
On one level, there were not too many surprises in the newly disclosed white paper offering a legal reasoning behind the claim that President Barack Obama has the power to order the killing of U.S. citizens who are believed to be part of al-Qaida. We knew Obama and his lawyers believed he has that power under the Constitution and federal law. We also knew that he utterly rejects the idea that Congress or the courts have any right to review such a decision in advance, or even after the fact.
Still, it was disturbing to see the twisted logic of the administrations lawyers laid out in black and white. It had the air of a legal justification written after the fact for a policy decision that had already been made, and it brought back unwelcome memories of memos written for President George W. Bush to justify illegal wiretapping, indefinite detention, kidnapping, abuse and torture.
The document, obtained and made public by NBC News, was written by the Justice Department and coyly describes another, classified document (which has been described in The Times) that actually provided the legal justification for ordering the killing of U.S. citizens.
That document still has not been provided to Congress, despite repeated demands from lawmakers. The white paper was sent to Capitol Hill seven months after the military carried out Obamas orders to kill Anwar al-Awlaki, an American who moved to Yemen and became an advocate of jihad against the United States.
In private, administration officials say Awlaki was a commander of an al-Qaida affiliate and actively involved in planning attacks on the United States. Publicly, it has refused even to acknowledge that Obama ordered Awlaki killed or back up its claim that he was an active terrorist. The White House has vigorously fought holding any court hearing over the killing of Awlaki or his 16-year-old son, who was killed in a subsequent attack.
The American Civil Liberties Union is suing to have the operational memo on those killings released, arguing that a U.S. citizen has constitutional rights that a judge must make sure are being respected. We agree.
According to the white paper, the Constitution and the congressional authorization for the use of force after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, gave Obama the right to kill any U.S. citizen that an informed, high-level official decides is a senior operational leader of Al Qaeda or an associated force and presents an imminent threat of violent attack.
It never tries to define what an informed, high-level official might be, and the authors of the memo seem to have redefined the word imminent in a way that diverges sharply from its customary meaning. It talks about due process and the need to balance a persons life against the United States interest in forestalling the threat of violence and death to other Americans.
But it takes the position that the only oversight needed for such a decision resides within the executive branch, and there is no need to explain the judgment to Congress, the courts or the public or, indeed, to even acknowledge that the killing took place.
The paper argues that judges and Congress dont have the right to rule on or interfere with decisions made in the heat of combat. Some officials also draw a parallel to police officers who use violence to protect the innocent. Even in wartime, there are many ways to review commanders and soldiers decisions, and while courts-martial are internal to the military, their verdicts are subject to appeal to a civilian judge. When a police officer so much as discharges his weapon, it triggers a great deal of review, based on rules that are known to everyone.
The white paper is a confusing blend of self-defense and law of war concepts and doesnt clearly explain whether there is a different standard for killing a senior AQ leader depending on whether he is a citizen, said Kate Martin, director of the Center for National Security Studies. Its due process analysis is especially weak.
The memo could and should have been released months ago. The administration could and should have provided a select number of lawmakers with the specifics on the killing of Awlaki and his son. The president could and should have acknowledged that decision and explained it.
Going forward, he should submit decisions like this one to review by Congress and the courts. If necessary, Congress could create a special court to handle this sort of sensitive discussion, like the one it created to review wiretapping. This dispute goes to the fundamental nature of our democracy, to the relationship among the branches of government and to their responsibility to the public.MORE IN CommentaryThe case of the intoxicated government worker who flew a drone onto the White House lawn...

How far apart should incompatable plants be from one another? Opposite sides of the garden? Six feet? I have rasied beds that are 3 ft apart, end to end because of the narrow space we have to put a garden in. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've been doing a lot of research on this and haven't found a good reason why not to plant veggies together. Unless you are saving seed for next year, of course. That's not something I do. If you are saving seed, the recommended distance is 20 feet. An example would be keeping tomato species true to form like Heirlooms. Most of the reasons why not to plant close together seem to be wives tales. Now some plants are more suceptible to certain diseases or bugs and that's why the wives tales started. If the two or so suceptible plants got sick or infested the other would also. There's so many more helps for those kinds of problems now, I'm not worried about it. The people on the Vegetable forum helped me out and there is a post there if you'd like to look. It all depends on if you will be saving seeds is how I took it. |

I came up with this recipe after looking in Junior's Cheesecake book last year and saw that he had a Carrot Cake cheesecake and I thought that a Red Velvet Cheesecake would be fabulous if made the same way. I even submitted it to the Food Network when they were doing the Ultimate Recipe Showdown. So i made it for my family and it was a hit....and its one of my most requested cheesecakes. Its a little time consuming but its worth it!Red Velvet Cheesecake
- Red Velvet Cake: 2 ½ cups all purpose flour ½ tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup buttermilk 2 Tbsp cocoa One 1oz bottle red food coloring 2 sticks butter 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 1 ½ tsp baking soda 1 Tbsp white vinegar 2 cups chopped pecans for garnish (optional) Cheesecake: 2 1/2 lb. cream cheese 1/2 lb. sugar 1/2 lb. sour cream 1/2 oz. vanilla 1/2 oz. lemon juice 5 eggs Cream cheese frosting: Three 8oz pkg cream cheese 2 sticks butter 5 cups sifted confectioners sugar 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- Preheat oven 350 degrees. Prepare cheesecake and pour in a greased 9-inch spring form pan wrapped in tin foil. Place pan in hot water bath about one inch and bake for 1 hour 20 minutes. Cool on wire rack for 2 ½ hours. Once cooled cover in plastic wrap and place in freezer for 2 hours. Meanwhile, prepare red velvet cake. Grease 2 9-inch round cake pans and bake for 20 minutes. Cool in pans for 15 minutes, turn out on wire rack and cool completely for 1 hour. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. When its time to assemble cake remove cake from freezer and let stand at room temp for 20 minutes. Prepare cream cheese frosting.
- To assemble cheesecake, place on layer top side down and spread with 1/3 cup of frosting. Place cheesecake top side down on top of frosted cake and spread with some frosting. Put remaining layer of cake on top of cheesecake and frost top and sides with remaining frosting. Garnish with chopped pecans. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Rome, Italy: The first worldwide study of the societal impact of endometriosis has found a significant loss of work productivity among those women who suffer from the condition, a researcher told the 26th annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology today (Monday). Dr. Kelechi Nnoaham, from the Department of Public Health, University of Oxford, UK, said that the results of this multi-centre study would help highlight the previously unrecognised plight of an estimated 176 million women around the world whose lives are affected by endometriosis.
Endometriosis is a painful inflammatory disease that, for many women, is chronic during their reproductive years. The inflammation occurs in cells similar to the endometrial cells of the uterus, which are found primarily in the pelvic cavity, on pelvic organs, and also on the bowel, bladder and (rarely) in the lungs.
Dr. Nnoaham and colleagues recruited 1459 women aged 18-45 from 14 participating centres in ten countries across five continents to the Global Study of Women's Health (GSWH). The women were all scheduled to undergo a laparoscopy because of symptoms suggestive of endometriosis. Women who had been previously diagnosed with endometriosis were excluded. The participants were asked to complete a comprehensive questionnaire about their symptoms and the impact these had on their lives. After surgical diagnosis the questionnaires were analysed according to whether the women had been diagnosed with endometriosis or other conditions. Those not diagnosed with endometriosis acted as controls.
"Scientists already know that women with chronic pelvic pain report a lower quality of life. But the GSWH is the first study to assess whether women with endometriosis-related pelvic pain are affected differently than those with pelvic pain from other or no identifiable causes, which our study confirmed is indeed the case," said Dr. Nnoaham. "Our research is the first eve

The Visit Europe Short Film story began in 2013 when the European Travel Commission (ETC), together with the European Commission, was looking to create a new inspirational video to promote Europe as a tourism destination.
In partnership with Screen South, we invited filmmakers across Europe to submit their ideas for a short film. After careful deliberation the jury headed by Sir Alan Parker, announced 'Roll the Dice' by Benoit & Detalle & Marija Jacimovic as the winner.
Based on an invented dice game, the film sees two protagonists' journey through Europe as they roll the dice every step of the way to determine where they will go next. It uses a pixilation and stop-motion animation visual style which helped these talented filmmakers win the praise of the jury amidst strong competition from finalists drawn from entries from 24 countries across Europe.
ETC and Screen South worked closely with the filmmakers as they travelled across Europe. They gained access to film in fabulous locations and venues with the support of many National Tourism Organisations and Film Commissions across the European regions.
The final-cut film was excellent and ETC decided to enter the CIFFT competition with Roll the Dice, meaning that the CIFFT organisation submitted this short film at 13 international tourism film festivals. Meanwhile Roll the Dice has already won several prizes worldwide.
Due to the success of the campaign, ETC has launched the My EuroShorts 2014 follow-up edition and this time all travelers are invited to submit a film that shows their travel in Europe.
Please visit the Visit Europe Youtube page to watch Roll the Dice.

Getting indigenous students remotely engaged
Indigenous education and the poor outcomes in literacy, numeracy and fluency have long frustrated educators and governments - at both state and federal level - particularly in the remotest parts of the country.
Today Bush Telegraph explores the issues in depth.
Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister, Nigel Scullion, puts much of the inability to achieve national benchmarks down to scrappy attendance rates.
"If you're attending only 80 percent of the time you'll just possibly get an education," he warns.
"If you're only attending half the time, best not even attend."
He's now planning to increase the number of truancy officers, in the first term of 2014 in remote areas, and source many of them from the local communities.
Professor Peter Buckskin, Dean of Indigenous Scholarship, Engagement and Research University of South Australia, says indigenous kids can't see themselves or their culture reflected in the curriculum and that is problematic.
"There are real issues around the passive neglect of quality education to remote communities in terms of investment strategies, the curriculum that is available and the quality and experience of of staff to deliver to some of the most challenged of learners," he said.

Aboriginal education: The context of any school and schooling or s school system must be aligned with the wider scope and depth of the meaning and purpose of 'education'. Attendance is not the only nor is it the main factor in the successful education of Aboriginal children or of any child.The environment of buildings, gardens, dominant powerholders maintained as the school/classroom, the architecture, pedagogies, human resources, the hardware and software of each experience of teaching and learning must draw upon the rich heritage, cultural knowledge and spirituality of children. Elders and community must take their rightful place as the recognised authority in the education of their children, that means also at an adminstrative level in our schools. Australia has access to the best of professional research and investment. I do not believe that we commit to incorporating or EXPECT the best models of education (usually non-Aboriginal around this nation!)nor to return the power of education back to the First Nation stakeholders. I agree wholeheartedly with Professor Buckskin.I am a teacher with years of experience in both the private and public sectors teaching over a range of levels in schools. I am also a mother of a high achieving 24 year old and in his words its also a severe lack of aspirant educational opportunities. I am sorry to say I agree. By the way, education always has existed in First nations culture long before our school buildings and 'qualified teachers'. I am deeply concerned with the Minister's comments.

I have had a long term interest in the seemingly never-ending plight of our indigenous peoples and found this program compelling. I am particularly interested in drawing out further Peter Buckskin's comments about making school engaging for indigenous students. I can't but help wonder if we still use the 19thC industrial age egg-crate classroom model to 'engage' them, closed up in 60square metre 'cells' all day, away from the lands that they are familiar with. I am aware of some innovations in WA but wonder how these can be upscaled to make learning much more engaging, less European and more indigenous, so that the learning environment aligns with the curricula that were discussed. Can we hear more about innovative school environments in the APY lands please?

To Peter Westbrook, "harnessing anger" means controlling one's fury and channeling it in a positive direction. Westbrook's success in what he once called "that strange white sport" is really just one expression of the self-discipline that has led him to beat the odds, again and again.
In Harnessing Anger, Westbrook tells how he came to be the first African American to win a national gold title in sabre fencing. The son of an African-American father and a Japanese mother, Peter was raised by his mother alone in poverty in a Newark ghetto. Becoming a fencer at an early age gave him the confidence and the discipline to use an ancient martial art to his advantage both in swordplay and when facing the vicissitudes of daily life in the inner city.
The autobiography of this six-time Olympian, 13-time U.S. National champion and the only book on his amazing life, Harnessing Anger tells us how Westbrook has overcome strong adversaries on and off the fencing mat.

.- The prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, Cardinal Claudio Hummes, encouraged priests this week not to neglect prayer because it strengthens their ministry by cultivating "the intimacy of the disciple with his Master, Jesus Christ."
"Truly without the essential nourishment of prayer, the priest becomes ill. The disciple cannot find the strength to follow the Master, and thus, he dies of starvation," the cardinal warned in a letter.
Cardinal Hummes recalled that "prayer occupies a central place in the life of the priest," and is a weapon for overcoming the devil, who seeks to weaken the shepherd in order to destroy the sheep.
"St. John Chrysostom warned that a decrease in shepherds always leads to a decline in the number of faithful in a community. Without shepherds, our communities will be destroyed," he explained.
The prelate added that a lack of prayer leads to "less joy and happiness in ministry each day." When a priest realizes "that his prayer life is weak, that is the time to address the Holy Spirit and pray."
"The Spirit will reignite the passion and fervor for the Lord, who is always there..."
The cardinal encouraged priests to draw close to the manger in order to renew their friendship and discipleship, in order to be sent anew by Christ as his evangelizers.

A few of Analog's pants for 2010 are labeled as custom or tailored fit, but some look different than others... Would anybody be able to compare the fits of the Analog Glasgow Pant, the Analog Lithium Regular Pant, and the Analog Gauge Pant?
Analog Gravis Rep
The Glasgow and lithium regular are about the same fit. They don't have as much slouch as the Gauge pant. The Gauge pant is, in my opinion, the best pant we have in AG, suspenders are removable, and I have been running this thing for 3 seasons. Tapers at the knee, and enough bellow at the cuff to fit over your boot and binding!

WLBT 3 - Jackson, MS: Resident Opens Fire on Apartment Burglars
Obviously things are different down south. Here in CT, if I were to take similar action I would be cuffed and stuffed.Resident Opens Fire on Apartment Burglars
Posted: July 17, 2008 05:00 PM
Suspected Burglar Shot
One man is hospitalized after being shot during a home burglary. It happened just after noon Thursday at the Elton Park Apartments on Elton Road in south Jackson.
Police say a tenant in Building 11 came home to find his apartment door kicked in. The resident then approached his home and yelled for anyone inside to come out. Authorities say when three men ran out of the apartment, the resident started firing shots. The suspected burglars escaped through a hole in a fence surrounding the complex.
Police later found one of the culprits hiding in a nearby culvert with two gunshot wounds. Paramedics took him to University Medical Center, but the other two got away.
Jackson police commander Jeremiah Jones says officers happened to be in the right place at the right time.
"The ironic part about it is the same time this was occurring, we were doing a sting operation on the other side on Raymond Road," Jones said. "(It involved) another house burglary suspect that had been breaking into houses attempted to sell things."
Commander Jones says the three burglary suspects had broken into another apartment at Elton Park around the same time.
Authorities have not released the names of anyone involved, and the resident has not been charged with a crime.

Masses of tubular red flowers appear throughout spring and summer (all year in Hawaii). Tolerates drought, wet soil, and salty soil. Needs regular fertilizing. Hardy to about 32°F (0°C), but comes back vigorously if cut down by frost. Easy to propagate from pencil-size stem cuttings taken in spring.

Would this be a better choice for central Texas than
any of the other California Salvias? Winter can be wet here and put into a gravelly soil would that perform better than apiana or spathacea? Art |
Follow-Up Postings:
Try all of them. S. spathacea will need shade, but you already know that. S. columbariae has a broad range outside of Calif., well beyond the Mediterranean precipitation regime, and it may do well. It's an annual, so it'll sleep out the winter. Look for Rich Dufresne's posts. He has lots of experience with growing Calif. salvias outside of Calif. |

ccroulet: Thank you again !I remebered see one of your post about this. I will also look for Rich's also. I will try all three plus the yellow form of spathacea Art |
If I had to guess, I'd say these CA sages would be the ones that could take more cold and moisture in central TX. Gravel's fine but acidic soils aren't, they need like it slightly alkaline. Salvia columbariae |

I'll be moving my greenhouse to a sloped area on sand this summer, which will make it more amenable to California sages. I will also be able to plant sages in the ground again. That means I will be able to trial new sages. It looks like it will take about a year for my new setup to get going again. |

Two women artists showcase their works, capturing two radically different worlds
The two exhibitions happening at Apparao Galleries are works in contrast, represented by Kanchan Chander and Melisa Enderle. The former is Delhi based and latter is from Chennai.
Interestingly both are women artists but the world they have chosen to define is radically different. While Kanchan articulates her ideas through engagement with fragmented human forms in terms of torsos, half bodies, headless ones etc., Melinda's water colours and colour pencil sketches reflect a lived reality of ordinary people, going about their daily chores. Her show is titled "Me and My Neighbours". Kanchan exhibition is titled "Migrating Memories" dealing with subject of art historical past as torsos, goddesses, alas kanyas from medieval temple walls, or classical Greek sculpture as Winged Victory.
Melisa's engagement with the realistic visual language is to express her sensitive feel for drawing that structures her composition. Her themes, foregrounding common subject, is not only realistic, but the content of her works is rooted in people whom she interacts or has encountered in daily life. The medium is either water colours, pastels or colour pencils. A return to the real within contemporary art milieu does not negate her working methodology in this mode as traditional or historical and hence unsuitable for the present. What needs to be admired is her intimate engagement with the human body per se imparting a quality of endearing warmth and domesticity, which is generic reminiscent of 17th century Little Dutch Masters who reveled in the representation of the common in every day life. Her works have a warm sensuality and a sense of intimacy that gives it an enduring character.
The simplicity of her subject is almost spiritual. They are rendered in water colours with verisimilitude though there is a hint of romanticizing them. Melisa in her subject is drawn to old people as their visages offer her an opportunity to delineate the wrinkles and furrows of age. Yet these portraits are not clinically rendered, rather she has infused them with insightful characterization of their wisdom of experiences in life, as it shines forth from their eyes, which conveys pathos, sentiments, bewilderment and other emotions articulated with studied precision and warm understanding.
Her technique is labour intensive, as she diligently layers her works especially in water colours to obtain that melting translucency. A close scrutiny reveals layers and layers of tonal subtleties that also give depths to her shadows and soft luminosity to her light. The quality of tactility is high in her works and that is premised on her mastery in handling the medium as well the colours. Melisa's works are purely enchanting in the representation of the material world as the jali balcony with the intricacy of fretted stone, the somber grey textures of the temple walls, the kaleidoscopic colours in the embroidered quilt or the rangoli on the floor. Her works beckon by the magic of the sheer simplicity of her subject.
Kanchan's works are premised on nostalgia and memory incorporating the element of time and space. Yet, moving beyond that her works bear a strong affinity to design and fashion, since she has engaged with zari embroidery, beads, swaroski crystals and other decorative paraphernalia intimately associated with the fashion and design world in her works as surface ornamentation. The female body in its fragment as torso or headless form is a generic translation and does not index class or caste. By enveloping it in the aura of classical history she freely plays with the forms placing them against textile designed motif background or creating the floral design within the form itself, which is hand rendered by her. In these works of Kanchan, the intensive physical laborious process is cathartic providing an opportunity to be meditative as she translates her creativity and images materially. Her reference to the feminine world is also reflected in the use of foils of tablets evidenced in certain works gesturing to their medical health. At first glance her works defeat her aim as they appear over decorative, but a close scrutiny reveals her articulation through memory bringing alive those past moments which she has lived through a different process of articulation. And it is not surprising to find the ubiquitous Indian art motifs as elephants, bulls, geometric and floral designs playing their decorative role yet held in tension through compositional arrangement. The works appear iconic as they are dominated by single figures with textured muted decorative backgrounds.
Kanchan's works exude happy optimism like her persona and the viewer is magically drawn to her composition by the vibrancy of colours, tactile textures and endearing motifs of elephants and other animals judiciously serving as footnotes.
The exhibition is on at Apparao Galleries until 28th November.
Keywords: Kanchan Chander, Melisa Enderle, art exhibition

Petco Park
Attendance: 42,327
San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Chad Billingsley and two relievers combined on a four-hitter, as red-hot Los Angeles blanked San Diego, 1-0, to complete a three-game series sweep at Petco Park.
Billingsley (4-2) allowed four singles, while walking one and fanning six over 7 1/3 innings in his longest outing of the year, as the Dodgers ripped off their seventh straight win and ninth victory in their last 10 games.
Hung-Chic Kuo and Jonathan Broxton combined to retire all five batters they faced in relief for Los Angeles, which capped off it's first perfect road trip of more than three games since they swept six games from Colorado and San Francisco between September 26 and October 1, 2006.
Wade LeBlanc (2-1) was the hard-luck loser, going seven innings and yielding the game's lone run. He kept the Dodgers hitless for 5 1/3 innings and wound up allowing just two hits, while walking three and fanning four.
The Padres lost three games in a row for the first time this season and were swept at home for the first time since Florida took a three-game set from July 20-22 last season.
The only run of the contest came when Jamey Carroll led off the sixth inning with a walk, advanced to second base on a Billingsley sacrifice bunt and scored on a base hit to center field by Russell Martin.
Yorvit Torrealba singled with one out in the second and moved to second base when Will Venable walked. Billingsley was able to work out of trouble after he struck out Kyle Blanks and Tony Gwynn grounded out to end the frame. It was the only time the Padres advanced a runner as far as second base all day.
Billingsley induced double play ground balls in the fifth and sixth innings and departed after getting Gwynn to bounce out to begin the eighth.
"He had a good tempo all game, he didn't try to rush himself, " said Dodgers skipper Joe Torre when assessing Billingsley's performance. "The one time when he was throwing a lot of balls early in the game, Russell [Martin] went out and sort of talked him down."
Kuo took over and retired the next two hitters to end the inning and gave way to Broxton, who mowed down the Padres in turn to record his seventh save of the year.
"For us to get to where we want to be as we move forward into the season and long-term, we have to show signs of hitting better as a group," said Padres manager Bud Black.

10 Ways Chief Keef Shocked and Rocked Hip-Hop in 2012
Pitchfork Video at Gun Range—July 2012
In July, Pitchfork.tv drew criticism after posting an episode of their "Selector" video series that featured Keef being interviewed at a gun range. Later, in response to the Chicago violence and JoJo killing, the site removed the video from its archives and released an apologetic statement. "The horror of the gun violence that has plagued our hometown is something we all take very seriously," said Editor-In-Chief Mark Richardson. "Many people have pointed out that this episode could be seen as trivializing gun violence, and we feel they have a good point."
Months later, a judge demanded that Pitchfork turn over the video footage to courts.

Farmers come with cups of woes, return dejected after no 'interaction' with Modi
Farmers in the state, who travelled several kilometers in the hope to reach out to BJP's prime-ministerial candidate Narendra Modi with their problems on Thursday, returned dejected, as many venues hosting the third round of Chai Pe Charcha programme lacked a video-conferencing facility that would have enabled a dialogue with the leader.
In the Savli area of Vadodara Constituency, from where Modi will contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls (along with Varanasi), farmer groups arrived with questions to ask Modi about their plight and future. But the absence of an interactive system to go 'live' left them disappointed.
As farmers gathered at the Gandhi Chowk location in Savli over virtual tea with Narendra Modi, the buzz about having a prospective Prime Minister contest from here was accompanied by scepticism about the execution of the promises. Farmer groups from villages in Savli taluka, thus, arrived armed with a series of petitions for Narendra Modi at the venue.
While the organic farmers wanted Modi to include the issues of sustainable farming in his manifesto, some farmers from the Rajupura-Daulatpura village wanted to know how many more years would it take for their fields to get water through the canals built about 15 years ago.
Badri Patel, an organic farmer from Savli, who also heads the association of sustainable farming called 'Jabak' said, "I am here to ask him if he would consider promoting us. We are less than 1% of the farmers."
Farmers from Rajupura-Daulatpura village wanted to know why the Narmada river canal, built in the late 1990s, has remained dry, leaving farmers at the mercy of monsoon. Hitesh Patel, a farmer, who participated with a handwritten note for Modi said, "The dependency on monsoon for farming is one of the major reasons for farmer suicides. We have been petitioning the state government for several years that canals are dry, but there is no reply from them at all. If Modi is concerned about farmers and he is also contesting from here, he should give us a chance to raise these issues before him."
Similar was the case at Bakrana village in Sanand taluka of Ahmedabad district which is in close proximity to the automobile companies that have recently set up base in Gujarat. "I have come all the way from Kamijala, 70 kilometres from here (the venue), to tell Modi that due to Narmada canal construction in our village, water stagnates over most of the agricultural land throughout the year, making it unfit for even rice cultivation," said Bhanuben Parkar, the only female who reached the event at Bakrana. The venue chosen for the event was not a tea-stall, but a temple.
Some farmers who came to the event had come prepared with a set of issues pertaining to their problems. Though over 200 farmers were in continued…

Install went relatively smooth for the significant project it is. Power is as advertised. Only issue experienced is the engine stumbled a few times with the chip installed. The nice part with Banks is they stand behind their products and the chip is back to them for their review. In the mean time, mileage is up from about 15 MPG to 18MPG just with the airflow improvements on a hand calculation of mileage. Hopefully the chip comes back without issue and the MPG gain holds.
