Words From A Cancer Soul, COLA By Addie Williams & Katie Fairchild Rated "PG" by the Author.
I hesitated on putting this on, but feel that he would appreciate it, as he has his own site up and expresses so much concerning his life and Adventures. He is my brother, and so much more. Our mother would be so happy that he was so brave to write what he has, with so many feelings and with humor. He expresses so much in life, and if you read it, smiles will become you, even if it has nothing to do with you.
Date: 09/05/05 Time: 11:06 AM Comments Ward's CELEBRATION OF LIFE ADVENTURE (COLA) Prologue: When I finished this first section of my journal to send to Dave Winters to post to my website, it had a lot of pictures. The problem is, pictures take up more memory than I am allotted… I can only send 2MB at a time over my website. I tried to break it down into sections to include all the pictures but some sections were still too large. So, I'm sending the text alone and am not sure yet how I will get the pictures inserted later – but at least the story is available. Cancer does really weird things to a person – not only to the body but to the mind as well. When one is suddenly placed in a limited life position, many seemingly important things are no longer important and a "Living Like You're Dying" mentality takes over. I have very seldom mentioned my prognosis to my friends or family because it is so very difficult to accept and honestly, I don't buy it. My doctors will not give me a time based prognosis because they say everyone is different and reacts differently to the various treatments given. Therefore, I did the research myself to get an idea of just how serious my 4th stage colon cancer is. My sources were the small physicians information sheets that come with documents defining and explaining specific chemotherapy drugs. Each sheet, of the included 3 sheets from each type of drug, stated that patients with liver cancer undergoing chemo therapy can expect a 20% chance of survivability after one year and a 1% chance after two years (with chemo). Now, this was quite a shock to me – I actually got out a magnifying glass to confirm what I had read because the sheets are written in about a 3-point font. The text was scientifically written and included a life expectancy vs. therapy chart and left little doubt that I had read it correctly. So, after the initial shock, I decided I belonged in the 1% category – but JUST IN CASE – I wanted to do something very adventurous while healthy enough to do so. The problem is that life with my type of cancer and treatment must be lived in three-week cycles – and the first week I don't consider quality living at all – because it's "chemo-week". I spend 5 or 6 days meeting with doctors and then getting "juiced up" with 4 different types of drugs so have to be tied to a machine for four to six hours every day. It's a great time to read, write or reflect but sometimes, due to the fatigue brought on by the drugs, I simply don't feel like using my brain so I don't get a lot of writing done. Sometimes, on the first day, I may answer some emails or write a little since no harsh drugs are given on that day – only vitamins and other drugs to get me prepared for the onslaught of the next four days. Days two through four are the worst since I receive oxaliplatin, which causes extreme fatigue, nausea and skin and mucous linings irritation (esp. in the mouth & nose). In addition, it makes me very sensitive to anything cold. I can't have cold drinks, I can't touch anything cold or even breath cold air. I hate this since my favorite beverage is ice-tea and once I'm finally off this drug, it takes about a week before I can drink anything cold again and even longer before I can pick up the ice to put in my tea. OK, when day 5 of chemo-week finally arrives, I feel pretty good because, in addition to no more "oxa", I am also leaving the hospital. YEAH Baby, YEAH! Week two is what I call my recovery week. My face may break out – though usually not a bad as the picture. However, my tongue does breakout every time and if you can imagine that skin breakout picture pertaining to the mouth, that's what I have to deal with after chemo. I can't eat anything hot, or spicy – I can't even use toothpaste to brush my teeth. My mouth dries out very easily and it's really a pain sometimes to keep it perpetually lubricated to ensure it doesn't get too dry, which could result in gum disease. Fatigue during week two comes around mid-day and though I'm "semi-functional", I would much rather be napping part of the time. Week three is the best! It's almost to the day – two weeks after the last of my chemo – that I can drink cold liquids again and I am active all day - I can write or walk or just about anything except heavy exercise. However, my appetite is never good but at least during my normal week, I can eat two full meals instead of just breakfast and a few snacks as I do in weeks one and two. Now you know a bit about my three-week cycle, I am going to tell you about my idea of what I am doing to live like I am dying. Years ago, when I was in good physical condition, I wanted to ride across the U.S. on a bicycle. I still have that dream but am obviously in no condition for it right now. However, I did plan a road adventure during one of my chemo weeks – it also would be on two wheels but for this trip I will have a powerful 1.8 liter engine between the wheels. The idea began because I wanted to ride a motorcycle to one of my chemo treatments, and it grew from there. My imagination took off and since I have family and friends in many parts of the Eastern US and Canada, I decided I should visit them by motorcycle while I still could. During this ride, I would celebrate the life I now have and enjoy it to the utmost – stopping where I wanted and taking time to appreciate the natural beauty this country offers while spending time with many friends that I have not seen for some time. I appropriately name the escapade as my Celebration of Life Adventure (aka COLA) and made some cards up to give people asking them to celebrate their lives with family and friends NOW and often - and not wait to do it. I also included my website so they could read this journal or email me if they wished. And before beginning this journal of my COLA, I must add this about so many good friends at Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in Tampa. Since being diagnosed, I have had to use all my sick and personal leave. Had it not been for many fabulous friends that generously donated real time leave to me, I would not have been able to do this. The personal leave they donated is the very same as giving me money from their paychecks because personal leave is paid leave. I certainly could not have gone back to work full time and without their charity, I would be in a difficult hardship by working part-time or not working at all with no means of support. For this I want to give my heartfelt appreciation – when I first heard of all the people that donated, it confirmed my highest realization that some of the best folks in the world are my comrades at SOCOM. I had never realized I had so many true friends and hearing the news of the donations, my eyes welled from gratitude. Thank you all. The American Heritage Dictionary defines adventure as: 1. An undertaking of a hazardous nature; a risky enterprise. 2. An unusual experience or course of events marked by excitement and suspense. Given this definition, I suppose cancer, in itself, is an adventure and I won't suggest it's not. However, it is not voluntary and certainly not something that someone prepares for or looks forward to. Already having cancer, I decided I wanted an adventure of a different sort – I love traveling, especially by motorcycle, and visiting friends and family. Earlier in the year I had sold my totally awesome Honda Valkyrie and thought my riding days were pretty much over after being diagnosed. But the more I thought about it – the more I realized that motorcycle riding is therapy for me – and there are few things that can make you feel as free as riding the open highway on a brawny motorcycle – enjoying the scenery and nature that cannot be as appreciated from inside a cage (car). So, I've spent two weeks preparing for a trip that is taking me from St Petersburg, FL, up the Mississippi Natchez Trace, through the Appalachians and then as far north as Quebec, Canada (after Chemo in Illinois). My return route then takes me back through Portland, Maine down to Boston, New York City, Washington DC and other numerous stops before returning to Florida. This journal will record my daily "adventures" and I am more than happy to share them – hopefully, you will not find them too boring. And even though there will be many boring hours just riding to predetermined destinations, I will not put those moments into words. Of course, before I could even begin the trip I had to buy a motorcycle. Believe it or not, while planning the trip I had a dream about a bike with a unique back rest and the following day I went to Barney's in St Pete and noticed a PURPLE Honda Goldwing with a unique back rest (so much for a "Brawny" looking bike). I knew I was supposed to buy that bike and gave the salesman a ridiculously low offer for it. He called me back the next day and said I could have it for the price plus $500. I agreed and picked it up the following day. I guess purple bikes don't sell too well. I get a lot of grief from the macho guys – but guess what, women love it – especially my girlfriend, so I'm not complaining. I didn't start my trip until August 17, 2005 even though I had planned to start a week earlier. Several things got in the way and I wasn't sure if some of them could actually be resolved in time to leave in August so it seemed as if the trip might be "strangled" from the beginning. Had that happened, this would be a short story - titled perhaps, "Choke-a-COLA" and it wouldn't have been very fun to read. Wed August 17th – Due to my "condition", I tried to plan each ride to be four hours or less. In addition to what I said previously about oxaliplatin, it also makes me very sensitive to the sun so I didn't want to spend too much time riding in the south in mid-August. Originally, I had planned to leave St. Pete at 7AM and drive as far as Tallahassee before stopping for the night. However, I called a friend that used to work at SOCOM, Linda Kindurys, and told her I wanted to stop by and visit. In our conversation, the idea came up for me to spend the night at her house in Fort Walton Beach, and leave from there for my next stop in Mississippi. At the time, it sounded grand – the more time I spend with people and the less money I spend on hotel rooms, the better I like it. So, Tuesday night before leaving, my girlfriend and I have a bon-voyage dinner with some friends and got home a bit late for me to finish some last minute packing and prep. I set my watch to wake up early but was overly tired and slept through it. I didn't start on the final arrangements until 7:30 – a half hour later than I was supposed to leave. I finished around 10 and the heat was already in the 90's. I decided to change my route and go up a slow route to pick up some things from my storage unit on Allen Bussey's property in Hudson, FL. The ride there was slow but bearable – after all, this is my very first leg of a trip that is going to take me over 6,000 miles over the next month and a half, and I was pretty excited. I got the items I needed but realized I wasn't feeling too well and stopped at a Granny's restaurant, to cool off with some AC, some good food, and a nice ice-cold tea. Well 2 out of 3 ain't bad - I couldn't drink iced ice tea due to the "oxa" – so I just had the waitress put a few cubes in it to remove the heat. (The trip began during a "recovery" week). I spent about 30 minutes there and finally felt able to move on – and when I got outside the temperature was 970 F. There have been two higher truths I have realized since beginning this trip – higher than normal temperatures and extremely high gasoline prices. However, neither makes me feel I have learned something worthwhile. As I mentioned, I will not bore you with tales trying to make a boring ride seem exciting – I simply followed Highway 19 to Highway 98 and tried identify with roasted chickens making a supreme sacrifice. It wasn't difficult to do. The only interesting sights on this trip began around Apalachicola, Fl. that still shows damage by hurricanes from both last year and this year. I witnessed this devastation from this point through Mobile, AL. It is remarkable how many people have not removed the protective siding from their windows – I have to assume they are simply waiting for the next hurricane this season. But moving on, just before reaching Destin, FL – I passed the "Men of the Sea" museum and noticed they had the final Advanced SEAL Delivery Vehicle (ASDS) on display. It's amazing how much it has changed after the latest Congressional budget cuts and down-scoping – I was astounded!!! (see picture) I finally arrived at Linda's house just after dark – having been on the road for over 9 hours. I was SPENT! Linda, Vic (her husband) and I talked a while but I had to turn in early – I just couldn't keep my eyes open. I took a hot shower and it felt like heaven – I then collapsed on the bed and didn't wake up until after 7 on Thursday morning (it is very rare for me to sleep all night). In the morning, Linda showed me what she does for enjoyment (& profit). Her passion is working with glass –she is an excellent craftsman. She made some extraordinary pieces of stained glass (see pics) and is now getting into fused glass. Her work is amazing – I never knew she is so talented. Oh, and I have to mention her home – it is a beautiful place on the bay in Pensacola and is situated in the middle of some wetlands. One of last year's hurricanes blew in a national park sign that she put on her back deck - it makes a perfect placard for her back yard, which does indeed look like a national park. Thursday, August 18. I left Linda's house pretty early to avoid driving in the sun as much as I could. My first stop was in Pensacola to try and contact some old friends I had known there sometime ago. I knew one, Sharon, had moved but had no idea where. I haven't seen or heard from her for quite some time. My other friend, that still lives there, is Cynthia Craig. She was one of my very first girlfriends from college that I met over 30 years ago. We have stayed in touch over the years but I seldom see her except when I might be passing through the area. To contact Sharon, I bought some stationary and wrote a quick letter at a very neat coffee bar in the downtown tourist district of Pensacola. The city of Pensacola has done some great things with their downtown area – it has a New Orleans flavor and many nice shops and bars. Once I finished the letter, I took it to the bank where she used to work and asked someone there for her forwarding address. Unfortunately, it was lunchtime and the only person that had the address was out, so I just left it for them to send and hopefully it will reach her. I should know in a few days if she got it. From there, I went to try to find Cynthia's business office. She converted a beautiful house to an office near downtown but I couldn't remember exactly where it is. And I NEVER did find it. I called her home but she, too, has moved (but is still in P'cola) and the number is no longer in service. I had no choice but to get back on the road because the temperature was climbing and I still had a couple of hours of driving to do. To leave town, I did have to pass where Cynthia used to live, so just by chance she might be at the old house, I drove by it. When I got there, I went into total shock. The house was in ruins! It sits a few hundred yards back from the bay and Hurricane Ivan almost completely destroyed it last year. The water line was still visible – about 3 or 4 feet up the walls, and everything in the house was gone including most of the tiled floors. Now this was a large, magnificent home – beautifully designed and recently built on the bay. I had visited her a couple of years ago just after she had moved in, and she was so proud of it – with good reason. I felt so bad for her after I saw it and, naturally, very much wanted to talk to her and see how she is doing. I talked to her neighbor and gave her my number for Cynthia to call. Later that evening, while staying at my next stop, she did. She is fine now but last year was totally devastating for her – as I learned when I asked about her husband, Joe. Joe had been staying at another home they owned and simply refused to leave as Ivan approached. Cynthia begged him to come with her but he flatly refused to leave. He died. Cynthia, of course, still has a hard time talking about it but she is getting through it and my heart goes out to her. It is hard to loose someone in any circumstance but it is especially tragic when it could have been prevented. I left Pensacola in the early afternoon and was feeling a bit ill – probably due to the heat, which was already near 1000F. In Foley, AL I cruised around a block a couple of times just as I used to do on my tricycle 45 years ago. OK, OK, it was a bicycle but the point is that I used to live in Foley. An old tree in front of our old house still has arrow holes in it where my brother and I used it for target practice. Of course, those wounds are about 25 feet high now when they used to be about 3 free from the ground. I was so disappointed to see my old hand built fort was no longer there but hey, I was about 8 years old when my brother and I built it from used lumber – but it was really cool. It even had a second floor but you had to lay down to get in it. Yeah, there are a lot of old memories from that place – it's where I hung my sister (my dad pulled her off the rope before there was too much brain damage), and where my brother shot me with an arrow (thankfully the arrow bounced off my sternum but it hurt like hell). Oh, and my pet rabbit was killed by a dog and left only the head for us to find. I threw it back in the cage – everyone assumed it was because I felt so badly to loose my pet and as a little boy, I felt it might live again. Actually though, I put it in there because I had to go somewhere and was in too much of a hurry to bury it. (Thought it would live?! Yeah, right!) Oh, the memories! ' tons more but not now. Having said that, there is one thing that upsets me about this trip thus far - I didn't take some pictures I should have such as the devastation of last year's storms on the panhandle, Cynthia's house, my old house and the tree and some other really good shots. I did improve on the picture taking after Foley but I really wish I had taken more early on. My next stop was Moss Point, Mississippi (near Pascagoula). By the time I got there I was extremely exhausted and feeling pretty ill due to the heat, I'm sure. I don't believe I was dehydrated since I had been drinking water and tea the whole time but two days of driving in the Florida August sun can't be good for you – especially if you're already "afflicted". As mentioned, I made a rule when I left not to drive much more than four hours a day but AFTER finding Moss Point, it took me FOREVER to find Steve Stringfellow's house. Steve is a very close friend that was the principal of a high school where I used to teach (Live Oak). He and his closest friend Chick, had to talk me in once I got to Moss Point, and believe me, it wasn't easy. Moss Point has changed so much in the last 25 years and I couldn't find any of the old landmarks. I had a GPS and for the life of me, I don't know why I simply didn't plug in his address coordinates before leaving but I won't make that mistake again. At any rate, I finally made it and it was so good to see "String" and our old friend, Chick. Greetings were made and little "catch up" done and it wasn't long before it felt as if I had never left. All of us were soon insulting each other and laughing at the same ole things we always had. And Steve was the most gracious host – he doesn't cook and every time we went out, he would not let me pay for anything – no matter how much I insisted. So for the first time I actually felt good about feeling bad. HUH?! Well, since I couldn't eat well, I didn't order too much and my meals cost less – or I could take leftovers back with me – which was better for String. Friday, 18. August. The following morning, Bob Henly, the other math teacher from the old school, came over to visit me. All four of us sat around and reminisced over old times – good and bad. Bob, now superintendent of all math programs in the Pascagoula High Schools district (and a preacher too!) has not changed a bit – except for putting on a few pounds. However, his sense of humor and dedication to God and his students is as steadfast as it's always been. After a couple of hours, he had to leave and Steve, Chic and I went to Ocean Springs to eat at one of their favorite spots. It's called "Rene's" and is a small, quaint meat market that specializes in Creole cuisine. Many famous people from sports personalities to movie stars have pictures posted on the walls in there. You would not think a small place like this would be so well known. One the most popular current day diva's has a picture there where she is eating a sandwich about the size of her head – that being no other than Paris Hilton. We ordered gumbo and it was delicious. I would have enjoyed it more had my mouth been less sensitive due to my treatments. (I did have to let it cool down). While there, we talked about what has happened to many of our students during past years. Physicians, wealth, deaths (car accidents), a heart attack (Gary Busby in his 40's), and "alternative" life styles all entered the conversation. All in all though, it was mostly good and we all had fun. Saturday, 20 August. I left Steve's house pretty early for Biloxi to pick up my nephew, Adrian. (His picture didn't come out very good... sorry!) He wanted to ride the Natchez Trace with me from Jackson, MS to Huntsville, AL. I was excited about this since travel is much more rewarding when shared with someone. However, it was the hottest day I'd encountered thus far – temps were above 100oF for most of the trip. And since I had to pick him up in Biloxi, instead of Jackson, it added several hours to the trip. My four hour driving limit had been exceeded more than the speed limit on this trip. It wouldn't have been so bad but the "oxa" also makes me very sensitive to sun and as a result, my face began to breakout with pimples again. Also, like everyone else, the heat saps my energy and by the time we got to our first break, I practically dismounted the bike by falling off and my patience was wearing quite thin. I was very anxious to get inside so I grabbed Adrian's shirt with all my strength to jerk him off the bike and get him inside – but he just thought I was straightening his collar and said "Thanks!" then took at least another 5 whole seconds to get off while I stood there bent over and panting like I had just finished the Hawaiian Iron Man triathlon. This cool off stop, in Jackson, was a small 50's style restaurant that had a flair that both of us liked. When we opened the door, we expected to be welcomed by a blast of cold air but instead were poorly received by a lukewarm breeze. We learned from the manager that only one of their two a/c units was working. We almost left but I thought we may not want to cool down too fast (stupid me) but more than that – the restaurant was so novel. It had pictures of Elvis, Marilyn and Humphrey over every table. Fifty's souvenirs and pictures of my favorite old cars lined all the walls. So, we stayed and had a great lunch. I, of course, didn't eat much – just a couple of vegetables, and Adrian had a truly southern meal of chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, lima beans and corn bread. It was great – but I had not begun to cool off like I had wanted. I had taken my laptop in to check our route and by the time we got it and ourselves back on the bike, I was already, again, in a marathoners sweat. It was so frustrating – the bungee cord's would not bungee – it felt like stretching steel cable and the suitcase would not cooperate when trying to attach it to the luggage rack. I ended up scratching my bike and punching out my nephew (just kidding) but I was aggravated – and it primarily due to the heat. I checked a bank marquee behind us (see pic) and it was only 101 but it felt hotter. We finally got everything mounted and started again. I wanted to stop again to cool off properly before the getting on the Natchez Trace, which I thought was only about 20 minutes away. We got alternative directions from a local lady for the quickest route and it turned out to be over an hour - and by then, the temperature had gone up to 103. I mean, that's too much for even HEALTHY people. For God's sake, I do want to at least live out my first year! We got to the Trace and I woke Adrian up since he had passed out from the heat, and with my last ounce of energy, pulled him off the bike. I told him to wash his face and try to cool down because we were going to hunt down and kill the lady that gave us those directions. He was pretty despondent and kept mumbling something about "wa-wa" so I let it go. Anyway – as miserable as it was to get to the Trace, we were glad we did. It is a beautiful section of highway that runs from Natchez, MS to Nashville, TN. It is parallel to the original Natchez Trace that was developed in the early 1800's. During that time mail delivery was very slow getting from the upper states to the lower since there were no railroads or waterways. The only method of communications was using old Indian trails that were difficult to follow, dangerous and many often led to dead ends. President Jefferson requested locals in the area to develop a means of connecting the known trails into one long, continuous trail that would allow easy access for mail carriers and other types of commerce. It was finished around 1833(?) but not without a lot of assistance from the Indians. It became a very well used passage by Indians and Whites alike and supply stations were set up along the way to make travel more accommodating. The trail even had agents that would go back and forth along their specific routes to clean up, maintain contact with Indians and assist travelers. In addition, through use of the trail, missionaries spread Christianity to many Indian tribes and built numerous schools. Many of the Indian children were taught trades – the boys learned farming and woodworking and the girls learned basket weaving and cooking. After the Mississippi waterway was developed, the trail was pretty much abandoned. However, much of it is still intact and it makes a wonderful trip to drive beside it and read all of the associated history written on roadside markers. We finally made it to Tupelo and my GPS guided me straight to the front door of the Trace Inn to the amazement of my nephew. I didn't tell him we were supposed to go to the Economy Inn on the other side of town but it was all good (just kidding). Now even though the Natchez was shaded in many parts, it was still hot – triple digits almost the whole way. By the time we got to the hotel, I was feeling pretty peaked. We unpacked and then walked over to a steak house for dinner. Adrian ordered a steak and I, as usual, ordered vegetables. I so wish I could eat the heavy stuff sometimes – anyway, I ate about three bites and put the rest in a to-go box. Of course, I didn't touch it anymore that night or in the morning and I have no idea why I even took it back. Just the thought of having the restaurant throw away $7.00 worth of MY food, I guess. (And it was only veggies!). We showered (no, not together!!!) and went to bed. I slept like a rock – my body was purely beat! Sunday, August 21st - The following morning, we wanted to leave as early as possible because we had a much deeper respect for the sun-god – and I'm not even Aztec. However, I slept until 8:30AM and we still needed to make a couple of stops for cash, gas and breakfast before getting on the road. Indeed, it appeared as if we were headed for another wretched day in the heat. At least when we packed up the bike this time, we were smart enough to move it to a place near the front of the hotel that was shaded – until the big guy standing next to us began to leave. I tried to pay him a couple of bucks not to move for a couple of more minutes – he thought me strange and left anyway. After packing up, we stopped at Hardee's for breakfast and I could actually eat….and though biscuits and gravy are not on my diet – I completely enjoyed them and added a couple of eggs for good measure. We got back on the Trace and a crossed bridge that passed over one of the canals on the Tennessee-Tombigbee waterway. While we were there, a boat pushing four barges was coming toward us headed for the lock just past the bridge. We hurried down to the side of the canal to get a closer look at were amazed at the size of the barges being pushed by the small tug – not to mention there were four of them. These two pictures are from the barges mentioned and the lock. The next picture is off one of the placards I'm standing next to that gives a brief history of the Tenn-Tom waterway. We got back on the bike and headed on to Huntsville. I was actually quite relieved to get on a real highway again and not be restricted to the 50MPH limit of the Trace. Going 90MPH feels GREAT!! We stopped one last time for gas and a cold drink and after getting back on the road for a few minutes, we FINALLY saw a well-known Huntsville landmark – it was the NASA Space Museum displaying a multitude of large Apollo rockets and other spacecraft. We didn't stop but took a couple of pictures as we zoomed by. I think it was bout 4:30PM when we finally rolled into my sister's house on Monte Sano in Huntsville, AL…. TO BE CONTINUED

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
It's right at the end of the interview that Subhash Chandra really gives the game away. We start discussing his wealth — anything from $2bn to $5bn depending on whom you believe. For once, the 61-year-old media mogul sounds genuinely embarrassed. Gone is the quick witted, sharp-shooting self-styled business guru, who has forever changed the face of television in the world.
"Oh no, oh no. Please," he says, when asked how much money he really has. "You know something? It has never been about money. If you chase money, money never comes. If you have other objectives, which is to achieve something that is good for people, and you achieve those objectives, then money will come."
If Zee Entertainment, which he owns, was ever to broadcast a movie about a kid who is called back from college to help pay off his family's debts, and goes on to run a conglomerate encompassing eight divisions and 8,000 employees, the chances are it would sit well alongside the 3,000 Hindi titles it already owns the rights to. Except this is not Bollywood fiction, this is the very real world of Subhash Chandra. Modest? Yes. Mischievous? Very. Megastar? You bet, in every sense of the word.
Today, Zee Entertainment has grown to become the largest producer and aggregator of Hindi programming in the world, with an extensive library housing 100,000 hours of television content. It has 650 million viewers in 169 countries. Incredibly, it was just 20 years ago that Chandra revolutionised the industry by launching India's first satellite Hindi channel Zee TV, and later the first private news channel Zee News.
But that is only part of the Chandra story: his massive Essel Group has interests in technology, packaging, infrastructure, education, lifestyle and wellness, and even precious metals. Chandra mentions "packaging" as an afterthought, forgetting to add that one in every three people on the planet brushed their teeth this morning using one of his laminated tubes.
But it's television that Chandra will be best known for, and is about to become even better known for. Not content with conquering the local market and the massive Indian expat population across the globe, his latest venture is Zee Alwan. The theory is simple, ambitious and audacious. If Bollywood movies (and general Hindi programming) are so popular with Indians, why not offer them to the Arabic market, with all content translated into Arabic? This move represents a $100m investment into the region, one that serial risk-taker Chandra is not afraid of.
"This is a big new strategy for us. The whole Middle East region has a large population, and we want to give them entertainment in their own language — it will be a new entertainment and information experience for them, and it will also provide strong opportunities for Arabic creative talent to work with us," he says.
With a population of 350 million, the region is a fast-growing television market that already has 600 free-to-air channels. Joining the party won't be easy — add to that the fact that advertising revenues were recorded at around $1.5bn three years ago, compared to over $50bn for the similar-sized US market.
Not to worry, says Chandra. "It's always a challenge, and working in a challenging environment has got its own kick. There is also an Arabic population that is spread around — certainly in Europe and America. So Zee Alwan will also find a place and distribution in those markets. So that will offset what is a challenging market in the Middle East region."
He adds: "We will be somewhat unique in the sense of what is out there already — more than 50 percent of the content available to the 350 million population is more motivated with Western content. There is 35 percent locally generated. The Indian content is not available in Arabic right now — we will produce in their language some programming with local talent so it will be unique. But I also believe advertising revenues will grow, they will be corrected over a period of time. This will be a big market, I have no doubt."
There will no doubt be many obstacles thrown along Chandra's Arabic path, but given his track record, the chances are he will swallow most of them up. Having initially made a success of his packaging company Essel Packaging, he handed over the reins to his brothers, deciding to set up EsselWorld in 1988 in Mumbai, which was to be India's largest amusement park.
"When we did the park, only one third of the guests we anticipated came. We were told that people actually wanted entertainment closer to their homes. The political class also really gave us a lot of trouble. They wanted to recover 150 percent tax on an amusement park that was meant for middle-class families and their children. So I was having in mind that there should be a communication channel that becomes a bridge between the government and the people," he says.

Posted by: Timz Thursday, 13 September 2012 11:38 AM[UAE] - UAEGreat article..always good to read about a success story that starts at the bottom and makes it way UP ;-). ..and to stick to it, when most people would have just given up.
However reading about the part of the regulations hindering progress in India is worrying...I guess it is two sided..one hand we dont people creating business to exploit..and on the other hand, we dont want it be over regulated to the extent that entrepreneurs are discouraged to continue ahead...but as shown in this article, we must forge ahead and have faith in what you do..

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis is a powerful technique for separating and visualizing proteins in a biological sample.
Despite many advances in alternative techniques, such as 2-D HLPC, it is still the most commonly used proteomics separation method. However, it is not a perfect technique for all proteins. Very large or hydrophobic proteins or proteins present in very minute quantities are often not seen on gels. These can be the proteins that are most interesting. Various approaches can be used to aid in the detection of these proteins.

I'm not 24/7 on my computer.^^
It is the 25 power point spell in your spellbook. (could be that the name is slightly different, but one of the two spells is the right spell.)
The Edain Mod aims to take you deeper into Middle-Earth than ever before and create a game worthy of Tolkien's books and Peter Jackson's movies. In our quest for lore accuracy, visual quality and deeper gameplay, we overhauled every aspect of the original game to craft a new, immersive Lord of the Rings experience. Discover the new factions of Lothlorien and Rohan, field new units and heroes for each of the existing factions, enjoy a visual style closer to the movies and unleash the power of the One Ring with individual Ring heroes for every factions. Light or Shadow, Defender or Conqueror... the choice is yours.
This full version contains all files you need to play the latest version of the Edain Mod. Please read the Readme before playing! The Readme contains details on the installation process, frequently asked questions, support information and more. It is advised to read it in its entirety. Note: The Edain Mod is only available in German at this point, though an English version is almost completed. Edain will, however, work with games of all languages.
I'm not 24/7 on my computer.^^
It is the 25 power point spell in your spellbook. (could be that the name is slightly different, but one of the two spells is the right spell.)
Probably you have windows vista or windows 7.
BfmE has problems when you try it on this systems, as it can't create the options.ini, so you have to do it manual. Just google for "BfmE Win 7" or something similar, there are hundreds of solutions for your problem. :)
Tomorrow Hobbits film coming ; ohv yea^^^^^. Gnomi -we want an instant edain patch ,man^^ xD.
Gnomi, isengard need more power/balance realy ;because it takes really time to improve for uruk units and siege weapons... Other races are much more faster at improvement themselves. You need to work more at isengard, I think. And will you add more new units; new siege maps (for example, everyone will be start its own castle at 4-6-8 players maps ) ? and new races to edain mod ?
Isengard is one of the strongest factions atm.^^
You have very strong EG units with the wargs and uruk scouts and your industry is unstoppable - as soon as you get uruks you can't loose any more.^^
We won't just add randomly units - we want every unit to have a specific and unique place in the gameplay of a faction. Therefore we're not just adding units. We did this in earlier versions, but in the past versions (since 3.0 I believe) tried to change this as it was very confusing when you had 5 similar units and there was no noticeable difference excluding their skin.
But we didn't deleted those units - mostly we put them in summons, so you can still play them and your summons have unique units which can't be build normally. :)
Siege maps with multiple castles will probably never be in the mod, as we try to make either funmaps (arenas, towerdefence, etc.) or maps which are placed in middle earth - and there aren't any castles so close to each other.^^
GNOMI^^^hi man^^^. man I watched " the hobbit an unexpected journey " and I must say I saw many many new heroes and new units ( different new orcs- goblins -dwarfs - elfs apperanced units in the film- legendary Rock miths creatures- mountain rocks ; mountain trolls - new wolf riders - which is different than wolfs and so on ... many many new designs that can be bring to edain mod now with new units and new heroes for elfs - goblins - dwarf etc ^^ ). I hope your team will be bring all these new units- heroes -stuffs from " the hobbit an unexpected journey " film now. Would you inform us about it plz to bring all these new things from the current film now ? thx.
I love you Lord of the Rings, now edain mod team must bring all these new units / armor-weapon designs / heroes etc.^^^^^^^. I love you edain mod mates too ( I am from Turkey by the way^^ ); Gnomi plz bring them all^^
the hobbit an unexpected journey is really awesome - everyone must watch it- you gonna love it too.
I forgot the dol guldur from the hobbit an unexpected journey film too. Necromancers - moving sculpture - undeath soldiers -huge black spiders -angmar related black dark magic soldiers environment weapons etc. etc. that can be bring to Edain mod too.
I believe that " the hobbit an unexpected journey film " 's 2nd and 3rd films will be go more deep inside ^^. Edain mod team mates plz bring all kind of stuffs from this new game to your edain mod plz^^ thx. Plz give us an answer of yes to bring all these new things to mod. TYVM again .
As already said:
We will watch the movie and after that discuss which things will be integrated in the mod. Probably there will be some things, but atm I can't say anything about it, as I haven't seen the movie yet.^^
The download works fine, I had no problems with it. What doesn'T work for you?
No, we can't give a release date, sorry.
We don't know when we will be finished, but I want it to be released asap.
how to unlock ( activate ) " the dwarfs' schürt Werkstatt buidling " ? at dwarf race ?
and how rohan's 25 point skill help us ?" the gathering/meeting ( 4 times build-able horse resting place )". I built all these 4 buildings at that 25 skill point skill but I didn't able to understand how it helps us at Rohan?
You have to buy the power with Khazad Dum in your spellbook and afterwards activate it via an upgrade in the inn. Then you should be able to build it.
The building has a small icon in the palantir - if you activate this there will be spawned rohirrim every few seconds. They get stronger when you have te other buildings around the main tent.
Gnomi, can we play edain mod 3.8.1 with gameranger too ?
( Gameranger.com )
; or how can we play its multiplayer with other players ? ( with hamachi ,or others ? ) would you give the names of that programs plz ? and how can I find edain mod multiplayer players ?
I want to find instant players to play edain mod how this gameranger helps us at normal 2.01 versions of ROTWK. Would you speak or inform that gameranger for putting your edain mod there too for multiplayer ? I believe that if gameranger support for mod at multiplayer ( at gameranger ) your edain mod will be more popular^^
When will there be a new upgrade Edain mod?
I downloaded tunngle for edain mod for multiplayer ;but there are realy less players to play ( I was made only 1 battle so far - hard to find players ).
Gnomi, we must introduce edain mod at gameranger too I think for more players to play each other at edain multiplayer. What do you think about it ,mate ? take care yourself see you later man^^.
I'm having some trouble with the mod switcher. I deactived the mod out of curiousity and now it won't let me activate it again. To clarify, it says the mod is active on the switcher but when I play the game it's still off. I'll try a full reinstall but this is definately a new problem with 3.8.1 as I wasn't getting this problem before I updated.
while playing with another player at tunngle ( for edain mod multiplayer 3.8.1 ) ; that person was made " shield + sword orc units " at mordor. Would you help me too that how I can make that kind of orc units at mordor ,thx.
Anyone who knows, plz answer. Thx again.
" Shield + Sword Orc units " at Mordor of edain mod 3.8.1
Note : that orc shields were look like human shields ( large/wide shield with human look like swords big ones ).
I was surprised coz I have never seen that kind of orc unit at mordor of edain 3.8.1 . Someone plz help me ,thx.
help me plz , when i try to run the game , send me this message :

I love your team mod but it is realy not nice ... thy only speak german at these 3 lobbies at tunngle too ( there are +10 players at nights when we ask for a game each other thy don't answer or answer with german !!! at germany you don't learn english at school ? )... What will your team gonna do this multiplayer issue realy ? don't make this awesome edain mod as a racist german player base mod plz at tunngle edain multiplayer, THX !!!
Shows how good your mod is... can't understand a thing and it still owns :)
@ LordMaus:
We had to decide for one network. If we would advertise different networks our players would be seperated and as there are already only very few, we want to focuse on one. Focusing on gameranger wouldn't help with this problem as 90% of our players are germans... and most of thema re too lazy to speak english. (everybody can speak english, as everybody learns it. In most cases we learn even more languages, I f.e. can speak german, english and a bit spanish and can translate latin texts.^^
That they don't answer in english is no racism - they are just too lazy. (if speaking german would be racism... wouldn't it be also racism that you don't speak german when 90% are speaking german?^^)
I personally don't like that opinion, but it's difficult to change that. It would change if most players would be english... but as most players are german we can't forbid them to speak german/force them to speak english in a network, where we have no control.
That wouldn't change for gameranger, as it is no problem with the network, but with the players. I'm not playing very much, but I have already played a few games with english players. I have no problem with that, but some people just don't like to speak different languages than their native tongue. (counts for english people too)
I understand it gnomi- you are right too ;but the ppl I have encountered said to me " we speak our naive language -and leave the looby ( there were 10 ppl just ;and just because I was asked for a play- why I should leave and stop asking at lobby ? am I wrong ? thy can say as a relpy : no or yes if we want to write/give a realy short answer ) " this thing was happened to me 3 times within 2 days .It only made realy sad just. I was only asked " would you wanna play edain with me to general ". By the was I am from Turkey xD^^. I know english ;and middle level japanese. I will learn german for sure now hehe
By the way I didn't mean this racist word in a too much bad way ( I didn't know which word I should write for a better meaning here ;so I was used racist first -sry for it gnomi )
Of course if they tell you to leave the lobby it is not okay.
I will consider your thoughts, perhaps we can do something, but I doubt that I can change something about that. :/
i have a problem wit the mod, because everytime i play in ring conquest and i choose mordor when im wit sauron and i use the power for transdorm into gorthaur the mod jsut stop runing and close same if i transform the witch king and when the battle is done the mod jsut close , so do u know why i have that problem?
Just a small issue with the mod. The grey havens map I think that's it the one with 3 bases surrounded by water. Whenever I build Haldir in the inn with Rohan a second time. He gets trapped behind the inn maybe I'm the only I the only one this happens to.
Gnomi Sigh some guide? If they are can you say to me where to unload it? It is that I do to myself a mess with which to do in the missions.
Well I don't know... I... at least think I installed everything right (can't do much wrong with just clicking an exe?!) but wasn't the problem with loading savegames solved? Or am I just imagining something?
Well at least, I can't load any savegames, always says there is a problem with the according save file...
Have a nice day!
@ selorkiith:
If you play with lorien these problems with loading saved games exist. If there's no lorien on your map it should work. Otherwise try to delete all your other saved games and replays. After that it should work.
@ guest:
Well, as said:
It works for me and for the 5000 other people too.
What exactly is not working?
@ koke:
You mean the mirkwood version?
Just wait for the next version.
Aww not my favourite Faction...
Well, gonna try the others when I'm home.
Hi can someone help me? Im new to the site, just created an account but I have been playing the mod for a long time. I cant download the new update (3.8), when I click on it it just says that " no mirrors are available and to check back later" but it never becomes available :/... Thx in advance.
im getting tired of all these bugs in the game and lothlorian doesn't have any good mobile units that totally sucks and this German languge is getting on my nerves on top of that some heros in the goblins are not correct. you guys didnt create azog right and some of his powers from the original game is not there azog was the color white not black "get it right" he was WHITE on the Movie and on the original game and tall not bent over and but the main issue is the BUGS I hate them fix that please
You know that all things of Azog were created years before the movie, so we didn't know how the movie showed him?
Additionally you don't have to play. And again:
It is useless to say:"There are bugs, fix them", this doesn't help us at all... tell us which bugs you have found, we try every version to fix the bugs before releasing, but we can't fix every bug, if you ever have made a mod you'll know that. even the big companies doesn't manage it and they have much more programmer and much more tester.)
By the way This Sub Hero Mod ..........IS FREAKEN AWESOME LEVEL 20 ARAGRON YALL DID IT THIS TIME :DDD
Which program should I use to open the sub hero mod. I unzipped it and tried finalbig but its not working for me?
Yeah thats the thing i use winrar to open it but all I see is a BIG File which I can't open. Am I using Winrar incorrectly?
You don't have to open the big files.
Why do you want to open them?^^
maybe to mod it lol but any way the bugs are this ..units are attacking me and I cant kill them and before i kill them they take out an battle group before i can kill them that's what the bug is Gnomi and I when I try to escape from dying i get stuck in the middle of a bunch of units
If you want to mod it you should be able to open it with finalbig. There should be no problems.
And I can't understand your problems... sorry.^^ Sounded as if you were overrun by too many troups?

Publishers Weekly
04/28/2014This slim volume full of helpful photo guides to a variety of embroidery stitches makes a good addition to the sewist's library, especially for those who'd like a quick reference for the occasional decorative stitch. The author, a fiber artist based in Colorado, creates in a style that feels a bit dated, and the general layout and design of the book seems to hail from the late '90s as well. Even the featured projects (no patterns provided) are not contemporary, and the text can be repetitive and workmanlike. But since no one's picking this up to read, it shines as a guide to unusual stitches. Enjoy the clearly photographed introductions to the Layered Chain Stitch, Open Chain Stitch, Bullion Knot, and two dozen more, then find a way to use them that suits your style. Full-color photos.

The Carl Albert State College baseball team as it splits its four games from Highland, Kan., at Ival Goodman Field. The Vikings opened the three-day series with a come-from-behind 7-6 victory on Valentine's Day. The two teams split last Saturday's doubleheader, with the Vikings taking the nightcap 7-4 after losing the opener 6-2. In Sunday's finale, Highland got past Carl Albert 8-5. The Vikings will return to action with a home doubleheader against the East Central University junior varsity beginning at 1 this afternoon [Feb. 23] at Ival Goodman Field.
It was a rough home doubleheader Thursday afternoon for the Carl Albert State College softball team as it suffered a sweep at the hands of Crowder, Mo. The visitors took the opener 10-3, then handed the hosts a 10-2 setback. The Lady Vikings will try to return the favor when the same two teams will meet in a doubleheader at 1 p.m. Tuesday in Neosho, Mo.
PANAMA — It was indeed a happy Valentine's Day for the Panama Razorbacks powerlifting team as it won its own Iron Hog Classic, which took place at the Panama Elementary School Gym.

Test Client Loses session when login is called

If data is put into the session by a view during a test, and then subsequently in the same test the client.login method is used on the test client, the client loses all session data previously in it.
It appears to be due to this line:
I quickly changed that line to:
request.session = self.session# engine.SessionStore()
Which seems more correct, but I haven't run the tests to see if it's right or not.

Added a simple patch. Probably needs to be better, but this is a bug, line 56-57 in init of contrib/auth:
request.session[SESSION_KEY] = user.id

Seems like if you want this type of traditional looking bike these days you have to pay over 2k.

The Raleigh makes a lugged road bike, called the Grand Prix.
I have one!
Thanks for the tip, but that one is threadless. I am looking for threaded.
Looks like all the steel bikes this year at Raleigh are threaded. Not sure about that Port Townsend. Says "Ahead".
Need threadless so I can raise bars up nice n high.
1999 Waterford RSE-11, 1995 Waterford 1200, 1989 Specialized Rockhopper Comp
1989 Raleigh Technium, 1989 Schwinn Traveler, 1986 Specialized Rockhopper
1984 Specialized Stumpjumper, 1986 Specialized Stumpjumper and just way too many projects to list.
You can get the Soma San Marcos frame direct from them for $950, so you could put a gruppo on it and come in under your $1500 mark. I think they are beautiful frames:
If you want a lugged frame with a threaded headset, you're probably better off going the second hand route. What's your budget? If money isn't a problem, neither is finding the bike you want.
Agree about the San Marcos frame; I like the Soma Stanyan as well but don't remember offhand whether the fork is threadless or not.
Edit: by the way, insisting on a threaded fork so you can get the bars nice and high does not make, in my opinion, a lot of sense. Getting the bars nice and high can and does make a lot of sense. But that is not a problem with threadless fork if you buy the right sized bike and get one that has a decent length headtube. Most (if not all) of Soma's bikes have a longer headtube.
Lugged steel bikes can be a bit harder to find which is why the OP's budget is important.
Edit: sorry missed the bit about the $1500 budget. Is that for the frame or the bike? If the latter, yeah my guess is you're not going to find much if anything.

Buy something in the C&V sales section or CL or Ebay. If it's a f&f build to suit, if it's acomplete bike part it out and build to suit.
WWW.CYCLESPEUGEOT.COM 2005 Pinarello Dogma; 1991 Paramount PDG 70 Mtb; 1976? AD Vent Noir; 1989 LeMond Maillot Juane F&F; 1993? Basso GAP F&F; 1989 Terry Symmetry; 2003 Trek 4700 Mtb; 1983 Vitus 979
Google bicycle stem riser. Those devices, combined with a steep angle stem if necessary, will raise bars to just just about any height and even more than a threaded stem will.
But the question is whether a road bike with high handlebars the best choice for your riding?
You're just trying to start an argument to show how smart you are.

That's what I am eyeballing for the moment. Nice price and perfect frame for what I am looking for.
I just put in a call to a LBS Soma dealer to see how much for frame and 105 build.

C&V is the way to go. I have 3 of them. Two of the three are ready, able and very nice rides.
Just picked up the '89 Raleigh Technium PRE for 100.00 about 2mos ago. It's in pristine condition, barely used and was professionally maintained. It's a pleasure to ride.
The '85 Trek 460 is an entry level road racer great for training rides and fast 30's and 40's. That one was given to me. Excellent condition.
Seriously, be patient and check your local Craigslist and classifieds. There are plenty of nice bikes available for a fraction of your price ceiling.
Having a flat tire as part of the total cycling experience is highly overrated. Knowing how to fix one quickly is not.

If the Soma doesn't work out, looks like I will be headin' to Clist. There is a B-stone on there that I went out to see last week that I am still pondering...
Not in my neck of the woods. It seems whenever I find a bike that I want (tough too as I'm almost 6'5") for a price that I want, it's when I'm at work. I call the guy and the bike is already sold or is first come, first serve and I don't have the option of leaving work. Grrr ! I've found some great ones on Ebay, but when you add in the shipping it becomes not so nice. I'm still working the CL angle though. I'll get lucky one of these days.....
It can definitely be a challenge to score on Craigs. I missed out on quite a few bikes before I scored this 86 Peugeot Triathlon for $250.
It was definitely worth the wait and hassle.PTRI 017.jpg
Anyone got any ideas about a build that would be nice but inexpensive to put on the San Marcos? I'm just a commuter and recreational rider, so having the absolute lightest,tightest running components isn't so critical to me.
I would probably hit up eBay and get a full Shimano 600 8 speed STI group (seen them go for $150) to keep that awesome retro look with the convenience of STI. You could also set it up with bar cons even cheaper.
check out one of the Velo Orange frames
ride long & prosper
Threadless forks typically start out, about, .3M long , before cutting..
I completely forgot about the Raleigh Record Ace:
It has a threadless headset, but as has already been mentioned that shouldn't stop you from raising the bars. It comes with full 105, and while the MSRP is $1800, you may be able to find one cheaper.
Also the Raleigh Grand Prix that retails at $1300-ish with Sora:

Hickory Inn
Posted Oct 22, 2013 on Hotels.comThe best choice for business travel in the area that I have found. The sterile alternatives of Hampton Inn, etc., pale in comparison to a relaxing Inn like this one. Breakfast is so much better than the rubber eggs and bacon like substances they serve at the chain hotels. Chaz is a great host. Excellent dining at Josh's in Hickory is a pleasant walking distance away.
for Everyoneby Lindafrom From Durham
Wonderful Inn!
Posted Jul 12, 2013Pros: Breakfast was delicious!
Chaz, Inn owner was/is fantastic! Very helpful and accommodating. Warm, friendly atmosphere, quiet, clean, and the food was AMAZING! Definitely would stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the Hickory area.
for Couplesby flyerproffrom Dayton, OH, USA
Good couples getaway
Posted Jun 3, 2013Pros: Quiet, out of the way, yet close to town and furniture malls. Great breakfast.
Cons: Room was really small
Location: If you can't find the furniture you are looking for in Hickory, you may never find it!
Satisfactory room - small but with private bath. No TV in room, but there was one in the common area downstairs. Chaz, the proprietor, was most helpful in directing us to the furniture malls (the reason for our visit) and to places to eat. He made a fantastic breakfast!!! Not sure the Inn would work well for families with children.
for Personal Eventby Nic
much better option than all the chain hotels!
Posted Jun 2, 2013 on Hotels.comPositives: nice setting and accommodation... you choose your breakfast and time, which is unusual - all very good. Chaz is a perfect host! Bed very comfortable and nice linens. Only 2 slight negatives: 1) our upstairs room had a window a/c unit - kept very cool, just not used to the noise! 2) our 'private' bath was across the hall ("Baker" room), which we hadn't realized. Bath was very nice, but a little odd to have to go across the hall.

Pleasant Experience
Posted Mar 11, 2013 on Hotels.comWe were on a business trip and enjoyed our stay at The Inn At Hickory. The charm of the home and it's ambiance coupled with the owner's personable friendly manner to create a good memory. We will stay here again.

The Inn at Hickory
Posted Feb 15, 2012 on Hotels.comMy daughter and I stayed here for a weekend. It was perfect for the two of us. It was like staying at home. It is close to Lenoir Rhyne University, where we had scheduled appointments. You must stay here if you are from out of town! Chad makes the best breakfast! We will stay here again!

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I have spent four weeks trying to find the guts to tell my very new wife I can't stand her and her interfering family she is so glued to and that I want the hell out. So far I haven't said a word to her and I keep having "honeymoon sex" so it seems normal. We got married a few months ago and I want out as fast as I can. I don't know how to tell her that. She will go off her head. My two female buddies say to wait a year and give her a little dignity, but I can't see waiting that long. I feel like my head is going to bust. Please help me figure out what to do. -- Miserable Groom, Winnipeg
Dear Miserable: You want to be decent about this indecency? Then at least give your new wife a few clues so this break up doesn't come as a total shock. Let her know you are not happy and then start complaining in detail about all the things you are miserable about. Given a chance and some counselling, maybe you can get back to the way you felt before the marriage. If you never complain, and keep having hot sex, how does she know?
If you do finally tell her after a solid month of complaining and being a pain in the butt, that you're through, she will understand why you are heading off down the road. She will be hurt and embarrassed and need some help to get through it, but she will know how it happened and perhaps be sick of you too. And, by the way, stop collecting on the honeymoon sex. Your reasoning is just sleazy.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm a former model who ate way too much for my own good and got really fat. I got pregnant and gained 60 pounds. I lost 20 with the baby. Now I have 40 pounds to lose and my husband says he likes my new big-breasted body the way it is. Now he tells me, he hated it when I was rail thin, about 20 pounds underweight. I should tell you I am very tall -- about six feet. I loved the way my clothes hung and how light and liberated I felt. Now I am plodding along like a bloated cow, in my opinion. He says I've got it all wrong, that now I finally look like a real woman, and he loves it. Who is right? -- Tall Cow, River Heights
Dear Tall Cow: It is your body and you should have it the way you want it unless a happy compromise can be reached where you lose another 20, but don't go back to looking stick-thin. That 20 pounds should put you at a normal weight for your height. Your husband has no more right to tell you what to weigh than you would have to tell him what he should weigh unless there is a major health problem such as diabetes or heart disease. Then you have the right to nag loudly and often.
Please send questions or comments to email@example.com or send letters c/o Miss Lonelyhearts, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, R2X 3B6

Bad Lip Reading Returns to Take on 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse'
The 'Twilight' films may have reached their (seemingly) definitive conclusion back in 2012 with 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2,' but the series lives on as a massive piece of modern popular culture. We can't talk about vampires and werewolves ever again without someone making an Edward or Jacob joke. Supernatural romance is bigger than it has ever been before. And then there's the fact that the franchise's success continues to inspire countless imitators.
We only remind you of this because yes, it's still okay to make fun of the 'Twilight' movies in 2014 and the latest hilarious video from the folks at Bad Lip Reading does just that.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Captain America 2′ Reigns Supreme
This weekend saw a neck-and-neck race for the first spot at the box office, with the animated 'Rio 2' offering strong competition for last week's champion, 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier.'
When the dust, debris and feathers settled, the one starring the superhero took the first slot, but there is no shame in a second place that strong.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Captain America 2′ Throws His Mighty Shield
Like 'Iron Man 3' and 'Thor: The Dark World,' the question was never whether or not 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' would take the number one spot at the box office, but rather how much it would earn while sitting pretty at the top of the list.
Also, like its "Phase 2" predecessors, the second Steve Rogers adventure proved that people are still punch-drunk in love with the Avengers characters.
Chris Evans Talks 'Captain America 2′ on 'Tonight Show,' Plays "Sibling-wed Game" With Brother
When Chris Evans went on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon' to plug his work in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier,' the last thing he probably expected was to be forced into a twisted take on the 'Newlywed Game' with his brother, Scott. But Evans played along, sharing a few hilarious stories and putting his brotherly bond to the test on live television!
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Noah' Floods 'Sabotage'
Insert your own "when it rains, it pours" joke right here. Darren Aronofsky's instantly controversial biblical epic 'Noah' overcame mixed buzz to win the box office this weekend, catering to both religious audiences and film buffs who like weird movies from unique, picky directors.
But all was not well for everyone -- the latest film from a certain Hollywood action legend got washed away in 'Noah''s success.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Divergent' Dominates; 'God's Not Dead' Surprises
If the main goal of 'Divergent' was to snag a large portion of the audience for 'The Hunger Games,' it looks like it succeeded.
Although it didn't reach the absurd heights of Katniss' two movies, Shailene Woodley's dystopian adventure effortlessly nabbed the No. 1 spot and, perhaps, announced the arrival of a new big franchise.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Need For Speed' Sputters
If the goal for 'Need For Speed' was to replicate the success of the 'Fast and Furious' films, then the film's opening weekend is not promising.
Opening in third place, the video-game adaptation was overtaken by two of last week's releases, making this potential franchise dead on arrival (or D.O.A.).
Weekend Box Office Report: '300: Rise of an Empire' Conquers All
After seven years of waiting, no one knew if a sequel to '300' would do the business of its predecessor. And now we have a definitive answer: yes. '300: Rise of an Empire' effortlessly took the number one spot at the box office, proving that America still loves shirtless Greeks murdering each other in slow motion.
Weekend Box Office Report: Liam Neeson and 'Non-Stop' Battle Jesus and 'Son of God'
This weekend saw a brutal showdown between Liam Neeson, the current god of action cinema, and Jesus Christ, the current god of millions of human beings.
Since the box office is a "two may enter, but only one may leave" type showdown, the victory ultimately went to Neeson and 'Non-Stop,' which edged out the son of God and his movie, uh, 'Son of God' to win the weekend.
Watch the 2014 Oscar "In Memoriam" Tribute
Every Oscar night has its fair share of dramatic and moving moments, but nothing ever comes close to the "In Memoriam" segment, which honors the actors, actresses, writers, directors, producers and technicians who passed away in the past year. Just when you think you've gotten over the death of a talent who truly mattered to you, this portion of the show rears its head and tears your heart open all over again.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Pompeii' Fizzles While 'Lego Movie' Still Awesome
For the third weekend in a row, 'The LEGO Movie' effortlessly held onto the number one spot at the box office, cutting down all of the newbies that showed up to dethrone it.
Don't cry too hard for '3 Days to Kill,' but feel free to wince plenty for 'Pompeii.'
Weekend Box Office Report: 'RoboCop' Taken Down by 'The Lego Movie' and 'About Last Night'
When 'RoboCop' got pushed from an August 2013 release date to February, everyone assumed it would open stronger when far away from the busy summer months.
If this was the better of the two options, then imagine how poorly it would have opened in summer. The remake of the 1987 classic is definitely not a disaster, but it most certainly under-performed.
Jose Padilha's update on the tale of a cyborg cop out for revenge has made $26 million since its Wednesday release, with $21 million coming over the weekend. That's not awful, but it's not exactly strong for a movie with a foundation dating to 1987.
