India's first novel by an Adivasi writer about his community published 10 years after it was written. In conversation with Narayan, the author of the pathbreaking Malayalam novel Kocharethi.
"A man's reach should exceed his grasp or what is Heaven for!" Surely this is a sentence worthy of utterance at a time when the nation celebrates its 62nd birth anniversary. But what of the man who has to strive for a "just reward", something that is 'constitutionally' within his grasp, yet denied? The man I refer to is Narayan, no robust Victorian vehemently proclaiming optimism but the Adivasi writer who wrote Kocharethi (1998), the novel in Malayalam that needs to be acknowledged as the first novel to be written by a tribal about his people in India. It is an acknowledgement long overdue, which will be fulfilled when Oxford University Press brings out a translation next year.
Narayan who was born in 1937 (not certain ) in Kudayathur belongs to the tribe called Mala Arayar. He studied till the std. X in the local government school, then got a job in the postal service.
I asked him what had triggered his interest in books. "Circumstances. When I joined school the system of providing free rice gruel at noon hadn't started. Education was not free. Right until Independence, the school fee was a chakram per annum. I went without food at noon. One day someone said that if I remained in the class room when others left for lunch and something went missing, I would be blamed. This frightened me so I began to visit the reading room opposite our school. There were three or four newspapers, a few books and a periodical. Soon the owner began to leave me in charge of the place when he went for lunch. I used the time to read whatever I could get hold of."
Kocharethi is Narayan's first full-length publication work but he has written one or two short stories, which were published in periodicals. The writing did not attract the attention of readers but it did attract attention of the negative sort: of his immediate superior.
For Narayan, writing Kocharethi was an act of resistance against misrepresentation of his community by the literary and literate world.
Recalling the incident, Narayan laughs. "My superior remarked caustically that he supposed I had no real work to do and hence was wasting the postal department's time and money." Soon he had me transferred to a section where I was the sole worker.
Metaphor for struggle
Though the manuscript was completed in 1988, Kocharethi was published only in1998, after Narayan opted for voluntary retirement. This like everything else in his life was not a matter of choice but circumstance. From inception to publication (in Malayalam) the novel itself is a metaphor of the struggle of the marginalided to be heard. For Narayan, writing Kocharethi was an act of resistance against misrepresentation of his community by the literary and literate world. But life has a way of taking unexpected twists, when we least expect them. This is particularly so if you belong to an economically backward community.
By the time Narayan finished the novel, the indignation and burning desire to tell the true story had evaporated. Seized by doubts about its literary worth he gave the manuscript to a teacher-friend to read. The friend forgot all about it and put the script away. There it lay for five years till Narayan asked him about it and that too only because another friend urged him to do so. Five years had gone by and the hand-written script had yellowed and crumbled. Narayan rewrote it. Another four years of ajnathavasam, till Narayan sent it to DC Books, Kottayam. The rest is history Kocharethi won The Kerala Sahitya Academi award and several other awards. As he sat down to sign the contract with his publisher, D.C. Kizhakkemuri the founder of the publishing house told Narayan : "Such things do not happen every day, you know." Cryptic, yet significant when we view the work against canonical Malayalam literature.
There were many who trashed the novel and observed that Narayan had neither style nor craft and that the award was politically motivated. Not surprising, considering the caste/community-based hegemonic ties that dominate the Malayalam literary terrain. Such a bias prompted an erudite critic to dismiss Vaikom Muhammad Basheer as "at the most a Muslim writer, nothing more."
Fortunately for Narayan, there were people who were willing to give worth its due. One such person was the late Ayyappa Paniker. As Paniker told Narayan at their first meeting, he had wanted to meet Narayan ever since he had read the latter's short story "Tenvarikka" but he couldn't get any information about Narayan's address. In his inimitable way Panikker told Narayan: "You lack a godfather."
Though he could be witheringly sarcastic and satirical, Paniker had an innate sense of justice. This prompted him to get a research scholar to translate "Tenvarikka" into English. It also prompted him to introduce Mini Krishnan, (Editor, Translations) of Oxford University Press to Kocharethi. "A really useful thing you could do would be to make Narayan's novel available in English," said the great scholar and poet who himself did a lot for translation. Mini then began her search for someone to translate the novel, a search that ended in me.
The novel is about the Araya community, as it existed in the early years of the 20th century when a cartographically identifiable, political Kerala did not exist. Trade, a strong missionary presence, demographic and geographic compulsions made it impossible for the Arayas to isolate themselves from other communities. Interaction with these communities and proselytism led to the erosion of the distinct tribal identity and culture. The novel is set in a period when erosion had already begun. Even then certain features distinct to tribal communities remain: self- sufficiency, honesty, willingness to work hard, pride and an indomitable spirit.
It is true that structural and stylistic markers of literary writing rarely appear in the novel. It could not be otherwise. Narayan is after all a first generation literate tribal; a writer in a time of transition; he cannot claim the lost pristine tribal identity; he has been influenced by the modernising process; he is a long way away from the portals of canonical literature. What Narayan can claim is that his novel reflects the ethos of a people in transition, in a manner that is simple yet empowering and utterly unique.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function xmlrpc_encode_request()
This is an extremely frustrating issue for me. I'm experienced with linux and php but not enough to handle this properly. First I get this error when I try running a script to post to wordpress via xmlrpc on a new server:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function xmlrpc_encode_request() in /file/path/ at line 17
And so I immediately think "ok, there's a php extension missing", so after some googling I find that I need to run #yum install php-xmlrpc and unfortunately when I putty in and run that I get:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirrors.200p-sf.sonic.net
* extras: centos.mirror.facebook.net

Setting up Install Process
No package php-xmlrpc available.
Nothing to do
So... this is where I'm stuck. Where do I get the package and how do I install it? I'm running Centos 5.
Any help would be majorly appreciated!

How to Prevent Natural Blonde Hair from Darkening
Even if you're born with naturally blonde hair, it can darken to a mousy brown. It can even turn red, black or green. It can turn green from chlorine if you don't wash it out. Read on, and find out how to retain your natural colour. But only if you like blonde hair-of course!
This article has been tagged as a stub. That means it's off to a good start, but still has plenty of room to grow before it reaches its full potential. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag! |
1Squeeze some lemon juice (from two lemons) in your hair. Leave it for ten to fifteen minutes, then wash it out using shampoo followed by conditioner. Repeat this once a week.
2Use a shampoo and conditioner designed for blonde hair in place of your normal things.
3Sit in the sun for a while each day, remembering to keep your hat off.
4Get some blonde streaks through your hair. While this isn't an ideal solution, it works instantly. Try to avoid dying your whole head, however, as when it grows out it will look horrible; if highlights go wrong, it isn't so awful.
5Get out in the air as much as possible. Staying in a room inside will make your hair grow darker, so find a new outdoor hobby!
We could really use your help!
LCD monitor repair?
laundry and cleaning?
introverted behavior?
skim coating?
- If you squeeze some lemons and put them in a spray bottle, it's easier to spread on your hair and you can store it in the fridge and use any leftover the next time.
- Remember sun screen when you're sitting outside, nobody likes a human lobster.
- Sitting in the sun with lemon juice in your hair works much faster than using the two separately.
- Remember to rinse the lemon juice after 15 minutes for the best results.
- Don't use too much lemon juice or your hair will look terrible!
- If you have cuts on your scalp from itching or accidents, etc. don't put lemon on as the acidity is very painful.
- If your hair starts getting dry or brittle, leave off the lemon treatment until your hair is soft again, and then use the lemon treatment once a month.

Hi, I'm new to this group so pardon any lack of etiquette on my part. I'm setting up a 3 teired rock garden with lots of alpines - but one teir is going to be devoted to acid loving plants. I live in slightly alkaline area and some of the walling has been built using cement which I quess will increase the alkalinity a bit.
Anyone got any suggestions please on how to acidify the soil without importing a several tons of ericacious compost and removing several more tons of otherwise good topsoil. Someone mentioned the use of sulphur to do this but had no idea of quantity to use. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The Back of my soil suphur bag just says apply at rate of 1-2 pounds per 100 sq ft. I know just what your looking for, X amount to lower pH from Y to Z. Had it once and filed it somewhere from pre-computer times, but heck if I can find it now. If you are working with black soil for alpines, that is still way to rich. I hope you are amending it with sand/chick grit. Rich soil will make them grow larger and wimpier than they should be. |
Also, granite grit is what you want. Granite is natural more acidic. |
- Posted by Sheryl_Ontario ONT z3/4 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 9, 04 at 14:55
You can buy acid in powder for for gardens. Its mainly for hydrangeas, to change their color. Maybe that stuff will help or use a vinegar drench. |

We've received some bitter-sweet news for all of our Nightcrawler fans out there. Alan Cumming, the thespian responsible for adapting that blue skinned teleporter to the silver screen in X2: X-Men United, has admitted that he was almost included in Bryan Singer's massive team-up flick DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. Unfortunately, Cumming was involved with various other projects that conflicted with the X-Men sequel's shooting schedule, and he was unable to appear. If there's any silver lining to this fiasco… at least he was considered for the movie, and not simply forgotten.
Here's what Alan Cumming had to say about the matter:
"There was a time when it was maybe going to happen, but I wasn't available so it didn't happen.I really loved that film that I was in, don't get me wrong, I thought it was a great film, but it wasn't my favourite experience of my life.
Cumming was easily the best addition to the original three X-Men flicks. As a poor, unwitting assassin who indebted his life to piety, X2′s Nightcrawler was the perfect foil for the traditional "super villain" (which Magneto re-inherited in that last act). And I've no idea why he wasn't featured in X-Men 3, Wolverine Origins, or even The Wolverine. It's not like Fox is concerned with protecting the sanctity of these classic Marvel characters, and I don't believe too many folks would be angered if Nightcrawler were included in a few more flicks.

Om my, is this delicious. Whenever I think of oysters, this is the recipe I crave. Open a bottle of Champagne to drink alongside. Heavenly.
Our oysters popped - in fact a couple exploded - so cover the grill. The fresh flavors of the salsa are nicely contrasted by the intensity of the sauce. First time oyster eaters went back for seconds. Delicious summer recipe. Easy yet elegant & unique.
Loved it. Some of my oysters "popped" and some didn't. What would the right temp be for a gas grill? 500 degrees?
One thing people have to remember is getting the grill nice and hot. If its not hot enough they wont "pop". Also in reguards to the siracha recommendations sorry its doesnt fit in with my taste. Siracha is very similar to tabasco sauce and I dislike the flavor it adds.
We grill oysters often, they never pop, some open slightly but oysters are not like clams or mussels. We do 7 minutes on hot coals on the grill and they are perfect.
O this is delightful,,, I followed recipe exactly. First time I have tried something like this.. Will be doing this again for last grill out for the season. yummmy!!! with mango bread!!!
Fabulous! Even guests that do not like oysters liked this. The sauces were easy to make and the combined flavors were delicious. My oysters didn't "pop" like we expected so we left them on the grill longer which overcooked some of the smaller ones, but everyone devoured those as well. This is a definite keeper.

Team Sauerland is delighted to announce that the Nordic Fight Night will hit Frederikshavn on March 17, featuring the very best of Danish boxing as well the biggest fight in women´s boxing. At the Arena Nord, highly-rated WBA & WBC & WBO Female Welterweight Champion Cecilia Braekhus (19-0, 5 KOs) and top-ranked contender Anne-Sophie Mathis (26-1, 22 KOs) will determine the undisputed pound-for-pound queen. A full Danish card as well as a Danish main event will be announced shortly. We are thrilled to come to Frederikshavn, promoter Nisse Sauerland said. We will present an unforgettable night of exciting, high-class and dramatic boxing action. In one of the main fights of the night, Braekhus, the 30-year-old First Lady from Norway, and Mathis, the famed and feared French power-puncher with a KO record of over 80 percent, will battle out supremacy in women´s boxing. With unbeaten Braekhus holding three major titles and Mathis having destroyed pound-for-pound queen Holly Holm in December, the two are widely considered the best female boxers on the planet. This is the fight the world wants to see, Braekhus said. It´s the biggest challenge of my life. Mathis clinched a spectacular victory against Holm but her winning streak will come to an end when we meet on March 17. Only one of us can be the number one and that will be me. Braekhus will be counting on the home support of her Norwegian fans. This is the closest I have fought to my home country and I expect many, many fans to come over by ferry from Oslo and support me, she added. This will be a home match for me. Mathis, who travelled all the way to Albuquerque to knock Holm out cold, is ready for another spectacular victory. I have knocked out Holm in her backyard and I will also defeat Braekhus, no doubt about it, she said. It will be the first loss for the First Lady. I will show the world that I am the best. Tickets are on sale at www.arenanord.dk.

Native Point
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Native Point (Inuktitut: Tunirmiut[1] or Tuneriut) is a peninsula in Kivalliq Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is located on Southampton Island's Bell Peninsula at the mouth of Native Bay.
Archaeological site[edit]
A Sadlermiut settlement, situated on the west side of the point, was abandoned after the Sadlerimiut became extinct in winter 1902-03. Now a notable archeological site, it is referred to as "T1" because of the Inuktitut name, "Tuneriut", for Native Point.[2] T1 is the largest Sadlermiut site on the island.[3]

One Georgetown resident is taking up the spot of another on the roster of the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College men's golf team in Tifton, Ga.
Christ the King Secondary School grad Joel Albany accepted a two-year scholarship offer to attend ABAC to play varsity golf and take business communications courses, with the intent of moving on to a bigger school afterward to earn his Master's degree in geology.
Georgetown's Robbie Johnson just graduated from ABAC after two solid years on the golf team, which included qualifying for the National Junior College Athletic Association Division I Men's Championship in Texas last year.
The Club at North Halton member is continuing his education at a university in South Carolina.
"Robbie helped me out a lot by giving me some information and I also got some help from a friend's mom about what schools might be best," said the 18-year-old Albany.
"I also visited a school in Arizona, but (ABAC) really appealed to me. In our loop, we travel to play against teams from Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama, and the opportunity to get an education at a great school and be able to play golf 12 months of the year, I couldn't turn that down."
Albany committed to ABAC in March of 2013 and feels he's tuning up just in time for the start of the competitive season, which begins in late August.
The Trafalgar Golf & Country Club member spent most of this past winter in Florida in "full-out practice mode" and had good showings at the recent Golf Association of Ontario Jr. Match Play and Jr. Championship tournaments.
"I worked a lot (at Toronto's Lambton Golf Club) earlier this summer and got off my game a bit, but I'm down to one or two shifts a week and really feel confident in my game," he added.
"I've been preparing myself so that I should be peaking through the season."

Overindulgence is the theme here, both cosmetically and mechanically. The complex web of electronics supporting the R driving experience is integrated into something Volvo calls its Active Performance Chassis. It coordinates the functions of Volvo's electronically controlled Haldex clutch-based all-wheel-drive system with DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control) and a new semi-active suspension called Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept). Four-C takes readings from sensors measuring longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration, yaw rate, vertical motion of the body, vertical motion of each wheel, engine torque, throttle position, degree of braking, and steering-wheel position and turn rate. It processes all this information and adapts damping force accordingly. Volvo claims the system is lightning quick, able to adjust wheel and body resistance 500 times a second. Four-C has three settings: Comfort (for highway driving or bad pavement), Sport (for smooth-road sweepers), and Advanced Sport (for billiard-table surfaces and tight corners, such as you would find on a racetrack).
Racetracks and Volvos are an unlikely combination, as Volvo unintentionally made clear recently. Indeed, just as it was demonstrating to the world's press its new racing-inspired R cars on the Paul Ricard test circuit in France, Volvo was canceling its involvement in the European Touring Car Championship.
The Paul Ricard circuit did not show the R cars to their best advantage, although they were fast enough. The KKK turbocharged in-line five is reportedly good for a 5.6-second 0-to-60-mph time, a claim that seemed entirely credible. Its power delivery works best in a straight line, since the aggressive turbo is hard to modulate in corners. With the Advanced Sport setting engaged, the car rolls not one whit and exhibits little dive or squat under the wonderfully effective force of the brakes. Flimsy might best describe the action of the six-speed manual gearbox (a five-speed automatic is also offered). Same goes for the steering, which lacks feel in spite of its weighty buildup. Traction control comes in early and often, and it can't be switched off. Whether cornering patiently or impulsively, the car's safety bias always asserts itself, returning understeer in exchange for prodigious grip. We've been noticing this tendency with every front-biased all-wheel-drive system we've driven hard lately, but the Volvo's passion for understeer borders on pathological. It severely delimits the fun, making our little racetrack exercise seem like an intellectual one.
But the car shines in more laid-back driving conditions. On the sinuous roads surrounding the Paul Ricard complex, with the Four-C system set at Sport, the car's midrange fluidity came to the fore. This is a fine and engaging road car that prefers sweepers to first-gear corners.
The R cars take the realistic tack, happily ceding the drive-to-the-club-race crown to BMW, and this philosophy is in line with Volvo's carefully considered approach to going fast. In the end, these sporting four-doors seem the mildest of their breed, not merely because they are less powerful than the BMW M3 or the next Audi S4 but also because they never fully let loose. They are not steer-it-with-the-throttle, hand-brake-it-into-a-parking-space kinds of cars; their strength is in their craftsmanship and their seven-tenths performance. To its credit, Volvo has created the first good-for-you sport sedan and wagon, supervised-fun cars with a full team of baby-sitters built in. They answer the question of whether ultimate safety and ultimate fun are a good match. Inasmuch as fun involves a whiff of danger, the answer is no.

Alternate title: Sweetwater
One of several top-notch musical biographies presented by the VH1 cable service, Sweetwater: A True Rock Story unfolds the poignant saga of the legendary L.A.-based band which "opened" the original Woodstock Festival in 1969. Nearly 30 years after this historic event, Cami Carlson (Kelli Williams), a reporter for the MIX-TV cable music channel, is assigned to produce a "Where Are They Now?" documentary about the long-disbanded Sweetwater. Although she receives the grudging assistance of several surviving members, Carlson does not learn the full story of why Sweetwater seemingly disappeared from the face of the earth after 1969 until she tracks down the group's lead vocalist and guitarist, Nanci Nevins (played by Amy Jo Johnson in the flashback sequences, and by Michelle Phillips in the present-day scenes). As Nanci painfully recalls the devastating tragedy which all but permanently stilled her voice, Carlson comes to terms with her own private demons. Filmed in Los Angeles and Vancouver, Sweetwater: A True Rock Story first aired on August 15, 1999. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Harold Lee Anderson passed away in his home i n West Covina on Thursday, May 1, 2008 at the age of 85. Harold was born on January 26, 1923 in Murray, Utah to LaVar Green and Grace Green-Andersen. Grace later married Louis Andersen whom Harold knew as his father. Harold and his parents moved to Los Angeles in 1928 then with his wife and children to West Covina in 1954 where he resided for the reminder of his life. He was a graduate of Garfield High School, Class of 1941, in East Los Angeles and later went on to receive his Associate of Arts degree in B usiness at LA City College. He was married to his life long "sweetheart" Phyllis Macomber Anderson on October 25, 1946 in Pasadena, California. Harold was also a member of the Arcadia Masonic Lodge #278 where for many years he was very active. He worked at Willard Battery from 1945-1947 where he met Phyllis. He would never have had the nerve to ask her out, since Phyllis was the boss's daughter but with all the excitement over VJ Day, he overcame his uncertainty and they enjoyed a pleasant ride in a conve rtible on Turnbull Canyon Road enjoying the sites and getting to knew each other. Harold went on to a long career as an accountant with Union Oil from 1947-1961. Harold knew that working for someone else was not for him and in 1959 Harold and Phyllis bought Boardman Equipment Rentals in Monrovia and Azusa. In 1961, they moved the company to Nogales Street in the City of Industry, California which they renamed Industry Equipment Rentals. The company began with only a few tools and a mind that would not qu it. Soon after IER opened, a burglary occurred and most everything was taken. Again, Harold would not surrender. He gathered his strength and what few dollars remained and began a business that eventually branched off into three different divisions. He, with Phyllis created Industry Equipment Rentals, Inc., Industry Lift, Inc., and Industry Property Investments Inc., all located in the City of Industry and made a successful career for himself as well as several hundred people over the years that he employ ed and whose lives he enormously enriched. Health issues plagued Harold for most of his life with a debilitating joint disease which never defeated him. This hindrance to his walking only made his mind stronger. Harold was quietly a proud man; proud of his accomplishments and mostly proud of his family. He employed his entire family for several years including his children, their spouses and all five of his grandsons. He was also charitable for many organizations that he believed in. These included but we re not limited to many little league teams as well as the Toastmasters Club and the Masons. Additionally, Harold donated his time and was the President of the California Rental Association in 1968. Besides spending most of his time at work, Harold enjoyed many activities; in his youth, he especially enjoyed restoring cars to their original glory. As he matured, he had a love for acquiring properties including several in City of Industry and Ontario plus homes in West Covina and Surfside Beach. His other hob bies included reading, mentoring, watching football and golf on television, Model A Ford car shows and of course his all time favorite, his 1932 Roadster. Harold is survived by his loving wife: Phyllis Anderson; his son: Michael Anderson and wife Terrie; daughter: Cynthia Richardson and husband Robert; grandchildren: Christopher Anderson and wife Jennifer, Jeffrey Peterson and wife Michelle, Scott Anderson and wife Elizabeth, Timothy Peterson and wife Mandy, and Daniel Peterson; great-grandchildren: Made line, Molly, Jack, Kaydn, Blake, Madeline, Grant, Phillip and Ethan; siblings: Jerry Anderson, Ray Green, and Jack Green. He is predeceased by his mother, father, and step-father, as well as siblings Jeannie Martin, and Jackie Andersen. A celebration of Harold's life will be held at Forest Lawn, Covina Hills on Wednesday, May 7, 2008 at 2:00pm.

Does anyone grow this grass and if you do, what can you tell me about it? How does it do in hot humid climates? |
Follow-Up Postings:

Wow, a question right up my alley! I not only grow Achnatherum calamagrostis - it is one of my very favorite grasses! Does just fine here in our humid S.W. Ontario summers. It is an early bloomer with gorgeous flowers and it holds its dried seed heads right on into winter. It is a slow grower & the only problem I have had is other things seeding into the clump. It is relatively easy to grow from seed but strangely has never self-sown in my garden. One of those all round grasses, right up there with Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster' A. |

Here is a link to Achnatherum calamagrostis. http://www.bluestem.ca/achnatherum-calamagrostis.htm If Achnatherum calamagrostis is like other Calamagrostis, then it should be a winner. My Karl Foerester Calamagrostis is always the first of my grasses to green up, while the Daffodils are beginning to bloom. Of all the Calamagrostis arrangements that I've seen, the ones at the former Aurora, Ohio, SeaWorld were my favorites. The tight upgright form lends itself to interesting grid plantings as it holds and defines a landscape pattern well. |
Thank you both for your advice. I'm glad to hear that AC does well in humid temps. I'm planning on getting it and planting it in front of my burning bushes, which face East on our property line. I'm also planning of adding a row of Karl Forester Calamagrostis to my yard. I love their look. |
- Posted by achnatherum z5 Ontario (My Page) on Wed, Apr 12, 06 at 8:07
bellarosa, possible downside to your planting plan. Achnatherum calamagrostis (not directly related to Calamagrostis sp.) blooms early in the summer,usually before the end of June for me. So, by the time your burning bush turns red this grass will already be in its 'dried seed head' stage. The contrast of beige & fire engine red might look quite nice. A. btw, Achnatherum calamagrostis was reclassified from a Stipa spp. ~ it has simlar long awns. |
Hi, I am thinking of adding Achnatherum calamagrostis to my small garden in center city Philadelphia. I have small fountain and will put the grass around it - probably about a 3' X 6' plot. Must I buy a grown plant or can I grow from seed? If so, how many seeds do I need? How long will it take to grow? I am hoping that I can plant it and have nice tall grass this year. BTW - I am no gardener. I haven't grown any plant since my 3rd grade class planted a cucumber. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

Which Holiday Film Reveals How Office Affairs Begin?
By Hadley Finch
As Karen gets ready for bed after the party, she even wears matronly underwear with zero sex appeal. Harry doesn't bother to look at her as they get into bed. We can see why he's lost sexual interest, even though Karen't a caring mother and competent spouse.
Next we get a glimpse of Mia getting undressed, wearing sexy red lingerie and the gold necklace from Harry.
After the party, Karen can't fall asleep, her eyes are now open to the real threat Mia poses in her marriage.
My advice to Karen and any spouse who's stopped being playful, provocative and passionate with your partner:
Don't be surprised that your lack of romantic sizzle douses sparks of attraction. Even if you're a fabulous parent or provider, when you allow soulmates to become roommates, you've entered the danger zone in your marriage.
In a heartbreaking scene on Christmas Eve, Karen thinks she's opening Harry's gift of a gold necklace which she'd found in his pocket. When Karen opens a music cd instead of a gold necklace, she retreats to her bedroom with British reserve to have a private cry without upsetting Harry and their two children.
Karen waits till after the holiday to confront her husband about the necklace:
Karen: Tell me, if you were in my position, what would you do?
Harry: What position is that?
Karen: Imagine your husband bought a gold necklace, and come Christmas gave it to somebody else...
Harry: Oh, Karen...
Karen: Would you wait around to find out if it's just a necklace, or if it's sex and a necklace, or if, worst of all, it's a necklace and love? Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse? Or would you cut and run?
Harry: Oh, God. I am so in the wrong. The classic fool!
Karen: [voice breaking] Yes, but you've also made a fool out of me, and you've made the life I lead foolish, too!
Why is this elegant confrontation so poignant?
It shows how each spouse can justify distractions that steal power from a marriage. At least Harry admits he was a classic fool to fall for a young woman who makes him feel sexy again. Karen still doesn't see how making a top priority of motherhood and sacrificing passionate intimacy with Harry suffocates the romantic chemistry which is needed to keep marriages fresh and exciting.
Preventing an office affair:
What can couples do to protect your marriage from sexual temptations at the office?
Do the opposite of Harry and Karen. Make time each day to focus on each other and keep romance alive. Schedule a date night at least once a week when there's no talk of kids or careers, duties or deadlines. Do something fun that you each enjoy on date night. Wear something sexy and exciting. Be playful and build sexual tension by suggesting what might happen at the end of your date, if you're lucky. When you create a new habit of dating your mate, you create a foundation of fun that every couple wants and no one wants to throw away through an office affair.

Two hundred persons attended the concert of Thanksgiving and Welsh hymns on November 23. Under the direction of Glenn Lehman, thirty select singers led vigorous congregational singing. It was supported at times at the organ by Kathy McKeever and the Bravura Brass.
Said Lehman, the director of Harmonies and organist at Neffsville, "These hymns deserve the Carnegie Hall, top-billing treatment we give them in this concert series. This is music to delight the heart and the head and body. The first-class musicians up front turned the whole crowd into a choir."
Previous concerts, always on Sunday afternoon before Thanksgiving Day, have featured hymn writers Charles Wesley and Isaac Watts. Next year, Nov. 22, 2015, the theme will be Advent and Bach Chorales.

Watch Dogs Review
Watch Dogs was one of the more awaited video games to have been released over the spring of 2014. To much fanfare, it seemed everything was going well until buyers got the game on release. This review's have been months in the making, playing through the game and getting the DLCs in as well as the graphic mod to put the game's quality up to par with the E3 Demo.
Graphics wise, once the Worse Mod was added, it would provide a very next-gen (now current-gen) graphics. It's quite taxing on my 650GTX video card though, so I'd advise getting something beefier (make your processor runs on an i5 at least to even go faster). Without the mod however, provides a quality akin to an updated GTA IV graphics with a (very) tad bit of iCEnhancer thrown in for good measure.
There's a lot of detail Ubisoft tried to cram in to the city of Chicago to make it look like the city's complete. Still, we're limited to the core Chicago metropolitan area and a small part of the suburbs to balance out the environment. That makes for a short drive around the city.
Being an Ubisoft title, some features found in their games made its way in Watch Dogs. Here they are based on what I've seen thus far:
- Shooting Mechanics are like Ghost Recon Future soldier / Splinter Cell
- Parkour (minimal in Watch Dogs) as Assassin's Creed
- Instant takedowns, Assassin's Creed
- Templars from Abstergo, Assassin's Creed
- Driving's kind of new for me for an Ubi Game, but control could be a bit tighter especially with most of their cars
- Map navigation, Assassin's Creed
All in all, majority of the game's a modernized Assassin's Creed, yes? Which can be a good thing as it tried meshing together the best of Ubi's titles into one game.
Now the common game mechanic's out of the way, Let us focus on the story. We have Aiden Pearce, a freelance hacker/vigilante who can override the Chicago's IT controlled infrastructure, from cameras, bollards, traffic lights, steam pipes, transformers to even causing blackouts. This is where the game shines, but also fails at some point. It makes some parts of the game seem too easy at times, and others overly difficult. Like
Going back to the story, Aiden's last job as a hacker turned bad when he was ambushed by some hired bikers by the owner of the hotel/casino he hacked, killing his niece. Afterwards, he adopted the role of a vigilante, stopping anyone breaking the law and investigating into the one responsible for masterminding the attack on his family.
The game attempted to put in the best elements of Ubisoft titles and tried making a bigger world than Assassins Creed, however there are some roadblocks in making it succeed (focus on the finishing/polishing department and some bugs here and there make it a so-so game, but still merits some compliment with the creators' vision.
Rating: 8/10

Gigabyte Releases Intel 9 Series Boards
A month ago, Gigabyte Philippines invited its close friends to its launch of their new Intel Series 9 boards along with a revamp of their motherboard product line.
A simple gathering was made for the close fans and friends of Gigabyte. The company unveiled the latest Intel 9 Series motherboards along with a revitalized line up offered to consumers.
The following new boards were introduced:
Z97X-SOC and Z97X-SOC Force
These new boards fall under the new Super OverClock (SOC) motherboards and have the following exclusive features:
OC Touch
"GIGABYTE OC Touch includes a range of hardware overclocking buttons directly on the motherboard, making overclocking on the fly extremely fast and easy. The design philosophy behind OC Touch is simple; to help enthusiasts and overclockers not only get the most performance from their hardware, but also the absolute most enjoyable OC experience".
OC Ignition
"OC Ignition maintains power to the motherboard and connected components while the system is shut down. This means that system fans will continue to provide airflow in cold bug situations, while i-ram drive users will not lose installed data. OC Ignition also allows users to pre-test water cooling setups, and allows case mod demonstrations without having to turn on the PC."
OC DIMM and OC PCIe Switch
"Manually turn on or off each channel of installed memory DIMMs, allowing users to effortlessly disable memory DIMMs from the system without the hassle of physically removing. Overclockers can manually turn on or off each installed PCIe lane of the motherboard, allowing users to disable individual graphics cards without physically removing. This is especially useful when overclocking on LN2 and water cooled systems."
OC Brace
"OC Brace allows extreme overclockers and system testers to safely install up to four graphics cards in an open case or test bed without risking PCIe slot damage or preventing cards not showing up in the OS due to poor contact with PCIe slot. OC Brace is a simple and elegant way to give robust installation support to full sized graphics cards in extreme multi-GPU configurations."
Premium Graphics Support
"GIGABYTE 9 series overclocking motherboards feature optimized support for AMD CrossFire™ in 4 way configuration plus support for Nvidia SLI technology in 2-way setups. This extreme design allows a more optimized multiple-card overclocking experience where the first 3 slots have the data bandwidth available from trace paths direct from the CPU and the fourth slot taking PCIe lanes from the Intel® Z97 PCH."
OC Peg
"OC PEG adds auxiliary power to the PCIe slots of your motherboard, improving system stability in extreme configurations. This is especially useful in power-hungry 4-way graphics configurations."
OC Connect
"OC Connect positions two USB connectors on the near side of the motherboard facing the overclocker. This makes it easier to save data, flash the BIOS or install software in open bench testing platforms whether for extreme overclocking or simply pretesting the PC before final component installation inside a case scenarios where accessing the rear panel I/O can be an inconvenience."
G1 Series Gaming Motherboards
The latest iteration of the G1 series by Gigabyte drops the green and black look for a hotter and meaner red and black color scheme. The variations of the gaming boards increased significantly leading to this list:
Z97X-Gaming G1 WIFI-BK | Z97X-Gaming G1 | Z97X-Gaming GT |
G1.Sniper Z97 | Z97X-Gaming 7 | Z97X-Gaming 5 |
G1.Sniper Z6 | G1.Sniper H6 | Z97X-Gaming 3 |
Z97MX-Gaming 5 | H97M-Gaming 3 | Z97N-Gaming 5 |
H97-Gaming 3 |
While the list of motherboards has grown significantly, here's a quick comparison of these to help determine which board best suits a gamer
Video Game Graphic Novels
While I constantly blog about video games in general (and peripherals), I'm here to write something different this time around – about Video Game Graphic Novels. While we do enjoy playing out as the heroes/heroines of our games, we do sometimes find something missing with the games, like some plot's that's unclear, or how did a particular character survive. That's where novels or more popular now, Graphic Novels come in.
These books seek to bridge the gap between sequels, uncover more of the video game's back story, especially if it has a very wide reaching plot. They tell the other character's side stories outside of what we are able to see while playing.
Two particular examples I have in mind and discussed in this article would be Halo and Mass Effect. These two series have a significant following from gamers and have inspired writers and artists to further expand the world by further developing it with side stories in the form of fiction. One of these outputs ended up as Graphic Novels.
The Halo Graphic Novel originally started as a way to expand the franchise. The objective of the project was rather than rehashing or focusing on the game's Master Chief, the artists focused on the world around the Chief – the Covenant Elites, Sergeant Johnson, and civilians caught in the conflict.
The result of the project was a big success and further stories were made and released as single issue comic books and completed graphic novels. The stories spanned from other events happening while the players have gone through Halo: CE (The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor) and ties in well with Halo 2's introduction of the Arbiter's Lieutenant, Rtas 'Vadumee, how and who tested the Chief's Mk VI armor (Armor Testing) to a background story of ODSTs Mikey and Romeo (Bloodlines) from Halo: ODST, as well as other Spartans (Bloodlines). While the original publisher of the Halo Graphic Novel was Marvel, it has since changed hands to Dark Horse, another company whose previous releases were for the Star Wars series of graphic novels (original/prequel and expanded universe).
Dark Horse is quite a graphic novel publisher, taking on popular licenses and publishing them and similar to their recently acquired license to publish Halo Graphic Novels (focusing on Halo 4 topics), Dark Horse also publish the Mass Effect comics series. Recently, they have collected a hefty list of their comics and released it in a super-sized omnibus (collection) called Mass Effect Library Edition.
Collected in this massive (it is indeed massive in size) hardbound book are several comic series detailing stories of Shepard's allies and enemies origins (particular one Jack Harper). These are sides stories that provided context as to how some of the events in the Mass Effect Video Game came to be. Some involve how Shepard's body arrived at the Cerberus Project Lazarus station, or how Aria lost Omega, etc.
There are more comics / graphic novels relating to video games out there, and I'll try to cover and review them as they come by.
Need for Speed: Rivals Review
EA released the latest Need for Speed title last year called Rivals. Rivals is more of a rehashed game of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, with some improvements with gameplay thrown in.
The game is set in the county of Redview, which is best described to resemble after the southern California / Arizona / Colorado area. It's broken down by a coastline and small town at the north-north west section followed by heavily forested areas in the eastern section of the map. The central area have plains for farmlands and groves and a lake with an under construction bridge connecting the north and south sides directly. The lower middle and southwest section have a dry desert area and the south east side has an icy mountain. There are no urban areas like that found in Most Wanted or Undercover.
The player can choose sides, either play as a racer or play as a cop and is able to switch between careers to provide a way for the player to stay engaged while playing. Unlike Hot Pursuit before, the career mode has a story based on the sides played. Challenges posted allow players to progress in the game, be able to acquire new cars and pursuit options. Playable events differ from each career. Racers have race-centric matches while cops have to perform time trials, interception and hot pursuit of suspects.
Comparing it with Hot Pursuit, changes were made to the number of equipment available for racer and cops. Now called 'Pursuit Techs' these equipment help in escaping/capturing cops and racers alike. Cops now have Shock Rams and Spike Strips (exclusive) added to the existing set of Helicopter and Roadblock support. Racers have Shockwave, and Stun Mine added aside from the existing Turbo and Jammer and lost the Spike Strips. Both of them have Electro Static Field added.
Modes of play are still retained, making it familiar to returning Hot Pursuit players. Racers have races, time trials, head to head challenges and interception races. Cops again have rapid response, interception and hot pursuit. Nothing much changed there.
The only major difference with the game from the previous would be the list of cars. Ferrari makes a comeback to the series after several years of absence, and is available for both cops and racers.
DLC-wise several packs were released, one of these includes the cars from the Need for Speed Movie, they were able to stretch the game up until the movie's release. Nice job EA, I suppose.
I applaud EA for finally putting Ferrari back to the franchise and utilizing the awesome frostbite 3 engine. While it takes a while getting used to playing on a much smaller map and lacking urban sceneries. A hot pursuit style game it still is and coupled with some improvements in the Pursuit Tech, makes it more a fun game.
Score 8/10

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewFighter Flies - old and newThe Fighter Fly is an fly-type enemy from the Mario universe. They first appeared in the Mario Bros arcade game. Their typical movement pattern is to hop above the ground for short distances and then land. This made them especially annoying in Mario Bros since one would have to wait until they land to strike them from below; they could not be damaged while in the air, even by a POW block. When they reappeared in Super Mario Land for the Game Boy, they could finally be taken down by a stomp from above.

General Dynamics C4 Systems in Scottsdale has received a $30 million fiveyear contract from the U.S. Army to develop an improved electronics and life support system for military helicopter pilots.
Called the Air Warrior Block 3 system, it will consist of state-of-the-art electronics, helmets and air crew protective clothing that can be used interoperably with many types of U.S. Army helicopters, said Mark Fried, general manager of General Dynamics C4 Systems.
The Block 3 system will include improvements in electronics equipment integrated into the aviator helmets, an upgraded cooling unit to keep pilots comfortable and enhanced voice and data communications capabilities, he said.
"The Air Warrior system will provide helicopter crews increased mission effectiveness through . . . high technology electronics and survival equipment," he said.
Officials at Boeing's Mesa helicopter operations are working with General Dynamics on the project to make the system compatible with Boeing's AH-64D Apache Longbow attack helicopters. But the system also will be adaptable to other U.S. Army helicopters such as the CH-47 Chinook, OH-58D Kowa Warrior and the UH-60 Blackhawk, according to General Dynamics.
A group of subcontractors are doing much of the work on the components while General Dynamics in Scottsdale is engineering them into an overall system and managing the program, said Susan Pasternack, manager of business development for General Dynamics C4 Systems.
The Army has already fielded some of the technology incrementally, but the Block 3 program is the first full system available for combat helicopter air crews, she said.
The first two blocks featured numerous capabilities including a microclimate cooling system, survival gear, chemical and biological protection ensemble and an aircraft wireless intercom system.
The third block will provide additional displays on the aviators' helmets and
eyesight protection against laser weapons, Pasternack said. Advances also will be included in voice and data communications with ground soldiers and battlefield command centers, she said.
The technology is being produced in a wearable form because of the limited space available in military helicopter cockpits, she said. "They (Army aviators) don't have much real estate to work with, so they have it on their person," she said. "That is part of the design challenge."
As new technology is developed, additional Air Warrior contracts are possible when the latest program is completed, she said.
Partners in the program include Dynamics Research Corp. (Huntsville, Ala.); Foster-Miller (Waltham, Mass.); Hamilton Sundstrand (Windsor Locks, Conn.); Kaiser Electro-Optics (Carlsbad, Calif.); Navigator Development Group (Enterprise, Ala.); and Sikorsky (Stratford, Conn.).
