Director Samuthirakani's views on solving problems in society are reflected in 'Jenda Pai Kapiraju'
The director of Sambho Siva Sambho (Nadodigal in Tamil) Samuthirakani is back with a bilingual. His movie Jenda Pai Kapiraju (Nimirndhu Nil in Tamil) starring Nani and Amala Paul in Telugu (the Tamil version has Jeyam Ravi as hero) is in the making. Ask him why he took so long to start this project and he says that all his time was taken up by Yaare Koogadali, a Kannada film which is apparently a remake of Porali (Sangharshana in Telugu). After nearly three years the director is back in Hyderabad shooting for the Telugu version. So what does Jenda Pai Kapiraju mean? The title is symbolic of victory — it shows an image of Hanuman from the Kurukshetra war; in tamil it more or less means the same, Nimmirndhu Nil means 'stand straight or boldly'.
Samuthirakani has acted in around 13 films, but these days he takes it up only if it has some meaning, some substance like the ones in Saatai and Neerparavai. "If someone comes to me and says the role is important and will get critical acclaim, I will take it up otherwise my priority has always been to direct films. Jenda Pai Kapiraju is a take on the society. We face numerous problems and most of them are an outcome of someone's wrong doing. My screenplay comes from day-to-day incidents I have been reading in newspapers; in other words Jenda Pai Kapiraju is from the content I took from six months of reading newspapers. My story was completed."
He adds, "I wish to tell people to first correct themselves, then automatically the society will be set right, no point in blaming every person when there are so many flaws within ourselves. We see a signboard, 'No smoking, Smoking is injurious to health' but we continue to smoke. We speak on cell phones while driving, we park our cars at a 'no-parking' zone, in a one way road... We deliberately use the forbidden road. All these rules are meant for the paper, no one practices it. Go past a traffic signal, you will take a long time to see a happy face, all you find is problems. In fact my first scene in the film is directly related to it. The entire audience will relate to these problems and each one of them will say 'I went through this' or 'this is my story.'
But hasn't such a plot been dealt with earlier? Has the director made an attempt to correct himself if at all he had erred? He says very confidently that a little extension in his stories makes his work stand out from the rest. Nadodigal too had the same love story, fights, rebellion etc but it became popular because of his special touch. Samuthirakani quips, "We all need to have a small social responsibility. Since everyone is going through a wrong route we too think it is right to follow them, because it is the most accepted thing. If we go through a right route, people will look upon us as fools. So even if it is wrong, we tend to do it because it is the most accepted and everyone is doing it — I showed it in the first scene. The hero is very sincere till the last, the problems he faces are interesting. Nani hails from a middle class family, studies in Ramakrishna Mission and also in a Christian missionary for five years, he is well versed with the Quran, Bible and the Gita. But all his good qualities don't help him at all. He battles within himself between good and bad. Whether it is Nani or Jeyam Ravi, I get into their psyche and extract what I want from them."
The director signs off saying he started correcting himself when he sat down to write the script; by the time the film is wrapped, he will be a completely changed person, he assures. His next film is with Sasi Kumar, it is also a bilingual and the hero in Telugu has not been finalised whereas Puneet Raj Kumar will be the lead artiste in Kannada. The shoot will carry on in Hyderabad from December 28 to January 7. Sugumar of Gaja Raju Kumki is the cinematographer.

Roller Sets
It started a long time ago when I was fifteen. I had always been fascinated about women having roller sets. I started going to the local salon and having my hair set in rollers. It was the best thing I had ever done. Most times, I would ejaculate in my pants, especially while the rollers were being put in with the setting lotion. I did this every week. My mother had her suspicions as she was a bit of a hairdresser herself. Finally, she booked me in to have a hair cut and a blow wave. I got the hair cut but not the blow wave. It turned into a very tight roller set with very small rollers. She knew what I had been up to. At this stage, I was about eighteen. I have never lost the urge to have my hair set, but it is now too short. But, to satisfy my desires, I roller set my wife�s hair, and I can say I'm pretty good at it. We always have wild, passionate sex afterwards. I also usually cross-dress with her lingerie. She is cool with it. Oops, I�ve got to go. She is out of the shower, and it's hair-do time.

Did not like at all
Was so excited to try this cleanser but it was a huge fail. The packaging was nice but I found the glass bottle not the best fearing it could break if accidentally dropped. But the main fail was that when I went to apply it to my face it just disappeared and felt like like I had nothing to work with to actually wash my face with and I wound up having to use another cleanser with it. Will be returning for sure!


text: I'am referring to the "personal protection" ammo made by winchester in the 50rd. white box. These shot beautifully out of my new ruger sp101 this weekend,with not much more felt recoilt than the .38 158gr. +p LSWCHP I was also shooting. My question is are my better off with these of a .357 load in 125gr. for personal protection? Is there any data on the performance of these bullets as far as expansion and penatration? And is there any real differance between 110gr. and 125 gr. loads?

Shrimpers stay positive

Southend manager Steve Tilson believes his struggling side have what it takes to remain in the Championship.
The Shrimpers are currently rooted to the foot of the table after failing to win any of their last 11 league games, but Tilson claims he hasn't seen any reason why the Essex club can't secure their Championship future.
"They're all tough games in our league and this is another," said Tilson referring to the weekend trip to Wolves.
"But I still believe there is not a lot of difference between the teams at the top and the bottom in this league and I've yet to see anything to worry us."

http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/transactions I didn't even realize he was still under contact with them (placed on the reserve/military list last September.)
We never should have tried to slip Eckel onto the practice squad. He was claimed by the team #2 in line. Grrr. Instead we kept Patrick Pass who developed SOPA (Sudden Onset Pigskin Aversion, which strikes without warning and causes the victim to avoid contact with anything made of pigskin. Pass obviously suffered a SOPA attack during a game with the Bills.) Speaking of Pass, I thought we were going to activate him. Any word? We only have 52 on the roster, right? Is he practicing? I like Maroney's long KO returns, but have to confess I stop breathing until he gets up after a KO return tackle. Pass and Faulk may get fewer yards, but an injury to them wouldn't devastate the team like a season-ending injury to Maroney

Without them, many working women could not possibly juggle between their family obligations and professional demands. Yet, domestic workers' contributions to the advancement of women's development in Thailand have never been recognised. Worse, as a result of a feudalistic legacy, many live-in maids still suffer abusive or slave-like work conditions with around-the-clock duties, low pay, little rest, and no welfare protection.
Thanks to the latest policy move at the Labour Ministry, this is about to change.
According to the new ministerial regulations, it's no longer legally possible to make domestic workers work seven days a week or 365 days a year without weekly days off or holidays _ as is often the case in many local households.

This is the first of two related posts.
When I started dating a bald man, the first questions my friends fired my way about him had nothing to do with his background, employment or interests. Repeatedly, they'd bypass the pleasantries and skip straight to his hair: So, is he really bald, or does he choose to shave his head? How long has he been bald? Could he grow hair if he wanted to? And after I would explain that, yes, he shaves his head, and, yes, there are active follicles up there, they'd typically marvel at his bravado for willfully joining the bald club. I wonder how their responses would change if he had advanced male pattern balding and thus had no choice in the matter. But even more than that, I wonder why his baldness is such a big deal.
I realize that I'm the umpteenth blogger to toss in a couple pennies on the gender dynamics of the fall TV lineup, but I couldn't resist. Since "Isn't He Lovely" is examining social attitudes like "What Men Should Like Look Like" and "How to Perform the Tap Dance of Masculinity with Aplomb," the handful of male-in-crisis sitcoms debuting this season fit right into the narrative. For all the words that I've spilled on how men are tending to their pubic hair and pumping iron and generally not liking what they're seeing in the mirror—and also not wanting to talk about it due to the feminine associations of expressing dissatisfaction with their looks—these shows are out to grab heterosexual male America and shake his softened shoulders into action. One is even called Man Up! for heaven's sake.
While mulling over the male quest for muscularity a few posts ago, I brought up the notion of the "sanitized ideal" that has recently become de rigueur for the mainstream masculine body image. We're talking hair-free, sweat-free, odor-free; in other words, the same unrealistic standards peddled to women for so long, à la leg and underarm shaving. And like the hairless female ideal, it isn't just the most visible fur that men are tending to these days; statistically, men groom their pubic hair more than any other type of body hair (sans beards).
Earlier this year, personal care product brand Nivea pulled a men's skincare ad and issued a public apology for its blatantly racist undertones. As reported on over at GOOD magazine, the ad in question "features a preppy, groomed black man holding the head of his former self, who's sporting a beard, an afro, and a pissed-off expression." The tag line? "Re-civilize yourself." As in, "Hey, black men, get with white mainstream culture and get rid of that 'uncivilized' African hair!"
Pop culture's image ideals for men come with their own complications and double standards, which are worth addressing as thoroughly as those leveled toward women. Just as Western female beauty ideals are modeled around straight, white women, Western male beauty standards worship at the altar of the straight, white, six-pack ab-toting man. And both are equally problematic.

I was thrilled and honored when nearly 1,200 decor8 readers entered to win a signed copy of my new book, Decorate (UK version)! A big hug and a mighty thank you to everyone for participating. As promised, there are 3 winners and I'd like to share those names with you now. You will be contacted today with a request for your complete mailing address so that your book can be sent. Please allow up to a few weeks for it to arrive, depending on where you live.
#1006, Krystal Schroder
#221, Krissy
#11, Jorissa van Ginkel
Many, many thanks for entering this contest — for those who didn't win, here is a list of many large retailers worldwide who stock the book, however lots of smaller shops carry it too. I am waiting for Chronicle, Murdoch and Jacqui Small Publishing to send me lists of where it is sold so I can give all of the shops a huge shout out on decor8 so when I have those lists I will share the stocklist with you. If you want a signed copy, Liberty online carries a few and Selfridges in London (in their book section on the lower floor has a few left) along with both London Anthropologie locations who carry signed copies for a limited period so visit their stores in London for those.
I appreciate all of your love and support regarding my first book, this was a huge step for me but the love and support in this community has been overwhelming and delightful — you've made it such a special time of my life and a great way to always remember this blogging era as I refer to this period when we are all online, blogging, connecting and meeting up. Who knows where blogs will be in twenty years, but personally this book will forever mark this time period as I'm sure it will for you as well. When you author a blog, so much is read and enjoyed but then forever stored in the archives — I have thousands of posts that some of you may never find as they are buried and long forgotten. That is why this book is such a special collection of my thoughts, tips, Joanna's ideas, Debi's gorgeous images that I love — and it's all in one place so that others who like decor8 can have a little slice of it in book form.
Oh I have to thank you — I sooooo appreciate the many reviews that you are leaving on your blogs, amazon, other websites, etc. about Decorate — I'm linking all of them on the Decorate fan page on Facebook but if I've not seen or linked yours there yet, please run over and link it on that page and also on the decor8 fan page so everyone can see what you wrote!
And again — a big warm congratulations to Krystal, Krissy and Jorissa! I hope that you will enjoy your signed copy of Decorate from me to you. It is the UK version, so it will be in British English with the cover showing designer/writer Rita Konig's New York City living room with her gorgeous sofa (shown in photos above). I hope that you enjoy it!

The photos are so light and bright — and I'm sure you'll really love it if you're a fan of decor8 as so much of my design aesthetic is part of of this book.

Girls hockey: WF avenges blemish with win over Bismarck
The West Fargo girls hockey team is 16-1-0 this season.
That loss - the lone blemish on an otherwise flawless record - occurred during just their fourth game of the year on Dec. 10, a 3-1 downing by Bismarck.
On Friday, the Packers got their revenge, beating the Blizzard by the same score they lost to, in front of a home crowd at Vet's Arena.

By Rob Todor
Here's what we know about the public versus private debate among Ohio high schools:
A lot of people think something needs to be done. Finding a solution that a majority of them can agree on is like some athletic search for the Holy Grail.
For the second year in a row, a "competitive balance" initiative, proposed by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, was narrowly voted down.
The final results — 339 against, 301 for — were almost identical to the 2011 balloting, which failed 332-303. The votes are submitted by the state's 826 high school principals.
The initiative, had it passed, would have changed how schools are assigned to tournament divisions in the team sports of football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer and volleyball.
Currently — and since the OHSAA split into classes more than 50 years ago — schools are assigned strictly by male and female enrollment. The proposal also would have taken into account factors such as whether a school has open enrollment, the number of its students on free and reduced lunch programs, and a tradition factor.
That tradition factor was far and away the most controversial aspect of the proposal. In the 2011 proposal, many felt that schools were penalized too harshly for past tournament success. The OHSAA tweaked the factor, and this year, it was believed not to have much of an affect at all.
"I knew the voting would be very, very close," said Dr. Dan Ross, OHSAA Commissioner, in a conference call with reporters on Wednesday. "I'm a little surprised [it failed]."
All but certain to come next is a proposal to have separate tournaments for public and non-public high schools. That proposal will come not from the OHSAA, but from the schools themselves. A group of superintendents in Wayne County have led a drive to separate the OHSAA, a proposal that has generated some support around the state.
If the group can generate the required signatures and have it submitted to the OHSAA by Dec. 1, it will be on the next referendum ballot in May 2013.
It's a slippery slope and one Ross does not personally endorse.
"There is a coalition of people who support [separation] across the state," Ross said. "They believe it is the right thing for them and their students.
"I guess we have to agree to disagree."
Twice before the OHSAA held a vote to separate the schools. In 1978, the proposal was defeated by a 3-1 margin. In 1994 it was defeated 63 percent to 37.
"Separation of the tournament would be an extreme, hopefully we wouldn't get there," Ross said. "I'd like us to try to find a middle road. We just haven't hit that place where more than 50 percent of our schools are comfortable.
"I truly believe it's a wonderful system. Today's vote indicates that 52 percent would like to stay where we are, 48 percent would like a change."
Regardless of what happens, Ross said it's an issue that won't go away.
"There's not ever going to be a system that's perfect," he said. "It's a journey and not everyone's going to be comfortable with any format."
Does this really surprise anyone? Open enrollment schools don't want competative balance. The only way to go is seperate playofffs for public and private. Still not the same as competative balance because that does nothing to correct public schools that can recruit with open enrollment. And lets all quit thinking everyone is stuppid. Private schools recruit no matter what you call it and so do Open enrollment public schools so I really don't care about anyone who responds and says they don't recruit because its a out right lie! So you are a liar if you say that because you don't believe what your saying yourself! Or your try to discise it as something else. But no matter how you view it its recruiting.
Just like everything else corrupt in Ohio, the OHSAA and the cheater schools prefer the status quo. The OHSAA makes a ton of money and the cheater schools can "attract" students via promises of state titles. It's recruiting plain and simple. Congratulations Mooney and Ursuline for teaching that cheating pays.
Maybe the member schools of the OHSAA got it right again. To be the best you must play the best. And to comment on the recruiting to the uninformed, 1- the vast majority of the Mooney football players have come up thru the catholic feeder schools and have never been in the public school system, so how is that recruiting?. 2-the other parents/students who choose a private school want the best opportunity for their children to succeed. There are reasons why Mooney kids receive so many scholarships. Try dedication, tradition and superior coaching. Maybe if the local schools would go out and schedule better competition they would be better prepared for the playoffs (HOWLAND).
Not all parochial schools are dominant or even prevalent in most sports. Do they not "recruit" or do they just do it poorly? Do schools with open enrollment recruit? You can bet that some do. Some schools without open enrollment have been accused of recruiting or have been assumed to be recruiting. Will changing the OHSAA rules change any of that? It's doubtful. If OHSAA membership sets up separate tournaments for parochial schools, you can bet there'll be a lawsuit. I'm not sure there's a good answer except to make the definition of recruiting very specific and to somehow make certain that it is effectively enforced.
I expected the same old repetative crap from you parochial people. Kinda feel insulted that you think your so superior that you could say over and over yoi dont recruit and gee step it up and play up to be better. What jokes. Ya south range step it up. Doesnt matter they or crestvieq could never beat schools like ursuline or mooney. You Recruit. Go to one of your camps amd see it for yourself. Im done with this. Liars everyone of you. Seperate playoffs are in the near future Thank GOD! Ya GOD
Taxme....your going to say the parochial schools recruit. I know you are.see I am right. The fact is they recruit every student they get. Wish they would put what elementry school every kid went to. Do you think they only take the best athletes from say Poland and send them to Mooney? My guess is those kids attended Holy Family. But if you would investigate this then you could not blame "recruting"for the less than stellar football teams your school fields. Get better on your own and quit crying.....yu people are really looking silly!....just sayen
blah blah blah blah blah. same old rederic from you and your parents. Please study your bible and quit telling fibs about not recruiting. Just man up. No one says ALL just one makes it recruiting. and quite frankly I could give a sh-t but Hypocracy pisses me off!
I attended public schools until I went to high school. I choose Ursuline over the public. During that time Chaney, Liberty, Campbell and Girard all called me to come play for them, recruiting!!! My parents felt Ursuline would offer me a better education and diversity that some schools couldn't offer. The thing people forget to realize is that Ursuline and Mooney cost a lot of money!!! Almost $6800. I don't care how good you are, these schools aren't paying out that much in scholarships. Do you think the parents of these students want to pay that much money for a state ring, hell no. Mooney has a strong feeder base of schools where Ursuline feeder schools have almost all been closed. That will explain the division they play in. But we are arguing over COMPETITION. Being the best means you have to play the best. Why is it that Ursuline had the 5th hardest schedule in the state and play in D-V, they want to play the best. People are complaining over the level of competition. And yes Parochial school recruit, so does public schools. How many times have you heard a parent say, "I'm not sending my children to that school because...". Every school system recruits and if they don't it's because the teams aren't attractive enough for the students.
Thank you for manning up and being honest and admitting your school recruits. I have all the respect for you but its the liars that continue to say you don't recruit that put a black eye on the two parochial schools. Well that and the ones that think there was nothing wrong with cigars and champagne on school property.
taxme, I tried to get the Floyd brothers, PJ Mays, and about 7 other players from the city to come play with me at Ursuline. We played little league football together and wanted to play ball together again. I also think we miss that part of it. Friends wanting to play with friends. Public schools recruit just as much as parochial and it's easier because they don't have to play thousands to play. Look at Howland, Fitch, and Campbell for example. You don't think they got better over the last 4 years because of the talent in those area do you?

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Cote accepts award for the Betty J. Borry program
Thursday, August 1, 2013
DURHAM — Durham resident Cynthia Cote attended a gala for cancer fighters at the Westin Copley Place in Boston last month. She was there on behalf of the nonprofit of which she executive director to accept one of 100 prestigious awards given to people and organizations working to fight cancer.
According to Cote, Borry just wanted to talk to other breast cancer survivors. She wanted to see the faces of the others who were like her. She wanted a community.
Cote was one of the 15 women on that first retreat 18 years ago. She was diagnosed with cancer months before the retreat. She wanted that sense of community that Borry was looking for.
In 2001, six years after she started her revolutionary retreat program, Borry died.
Betty J. Borry Breast Cancer Retreats is now in its 18th year. According to Cote, it will always be the small, intimate, community retreat program that Borry dreamed up after she was diagnosed with breast cancer all those years ago. |

The police burst tear-gas shells, resorted to lathi-charge and fired rubber bullets to disperse an unruly mob that blocked the Bangalore-Mysore highway at the Fountain Circle (Ambedkar Circle) here on Friday, to protest against the burning of a flex banner of Ambedkar.
The protesters, who wanted to stage a dharna at the circle, started pelting stones on the policemen, injuring more than a dozen of them.
The injured policemen were treated at a hospital.
Six persons from Gandhinagar area were arrested for the stone-throwing.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Basavaraj Malagatti told The Hindu that those who burnt the flex banner were yet to be traced. Prohibitory orders had been imposed in the area till Saturday, he said.
Traffic came to a standstill early in the morning and normality was restored only by afternoon
Mayor M.C. Rajeshwari, who visited the spot, promised that the culprits would be brought to book soon. Additional reinforcements had been deployed and the vigil would continue in the area, Mr. Malagatti added.

#F1 Features: #F1 monkey off the back
It's probably a good thing in F1 that controversy is never far from boiling over and becoming bigger than the actual racing we want to watch. With only 19 races this year – probably 18 should the EU and the USA continue on its path of isolating Russia – there's only so much technical and strategic analysis we can conjure up from 305 kilometres of racing.
F1 started 2014 with one very large monkey on its back – a positive giant Mandrill even – and that was the fact that after 8 years of screaming 18,000rpm V8's we were returning to a turbo era with smaller engines. NOISE! This had been the concern for everyone. Would the experience of F1 through our sense of hearing be diminished?
Of course, the F1 ringmaster has been upping the anti for years stating he was against changing the V8's and has banged the drum over rallying the troops to revolt against a diminished noise experience for quite some time.
Razlan Razali, promoter of the Malaysian race and billionaire son of the former prime minister – has made contradictory comments on the topic of the reduced noise. Earlier in the week he suggested more families may attend the race due to them being less concerned about damage to their children's ears.
Today he is quoted as suggesting it may affect the race atmosphere, however, he demonstrated that the design of the grandstand roof had considered noise amplification when constructed and this should mitigate the reduction in sound levels.
The big news is – that for the first time in 2014, Mr. Ecclestone bothered to turn up and listen in person to the new breed of F1 cars, and he commented on more than one occasion that "it's better than I thought". When pressed whether it should be even louder, Bernie shrugged and suggested, "a little bit". Though he did reveal that he'd been informed by engineers increasing the volume via exhaust tuning would not work.
So there we have it. The engines are officially "loud", but could be a little louder to be optimum.
Having listened to the popular media which includes the BBC for the past 2 weeks, it has been a source of dismay the oxygen they have given to this topic. An ageing and retiring Ron Walker spits his dummy out and makes ridiculous claims about suing F1 and all we hear about this new fantastic technical formula is noise, noise, noise… or lack of.
It was clear to TJ13 within a day of the Melbourne race, that the TV experience was significantly misrepresentative of that felt by fans attending and hearing the cars for the first time in Melbourne. A casual glance at twitter also reveals this to be the case – that there is a disconnect between the trackside experience and for those watching on TV.
Even Ecclestone admitted, "we need to sort out the TV – get it turned up a little", so the conspiracy theories suggesting Ecclestone had deliberately instructed FOM TV to reduce the trackside sound in the final mix, may have been rather premature. However, the lack of foresight of FOM TV to anticipate this problem and devise new sound recording solutions requires the introduction of 'Madame Guillotine'.
Last year, a number of the broadcasters persistently moaned and complained about tyres to the point of exasperation, however even the likes of David Croft and Martin Brundle who are not known to see the glass half full, are making it clear the new V6 sound is definitely adding to the experience of attending an F1 circuit.
Brundle described the Mercedes as "soulfull", and today at the final hairpin, the number of times we could hear the tyre squeal as the drivers overcooked their approach – was fantastic.
TJ13 has been running a poll, and we say a huge thank you to all who participated. It has featured the biggest number of votes yet. So far 607 votes have revealed the following.
The sound of the new F1 engines is
Votes cast so far….607 Very Good 16% Good 35% Average 18% Bad 17% Very Bad 11% No Opinion 3%It is definitely the case that a majority of you will have never heard one of the new F1 cars in the flesh, however, those making a positive vote represent 50% of the total.
Those voting negatively, represent a smaller but still sizeable 28% of the total.
We even have Ecclestone intimating he'll cease his "ya boo, told you so" antics and hopefully kick some FOM TV butt at the same time.
I did notice that during the night time hours when more TJ13 readers from the America's would be voting, the negative opinions were much stronger. Let's hope the Canadian, US and other broadcasters of that region sort out their issues and bring you a more representative engine sound soon, because F1 needs the fans of the America's. TJ13 also recognises you are around 30% of our readership.
Sebastian Vettel appears to have once again misjudged the general mood of the F1 fans when he rather crassly described the new F1 engine sound as "shit", adding, "and where do batteries belong? – in a mobile phone".
TJ13 recommends Seb checks out what the latest supercar manufacturers are producing and maybe as quadruple F1 champion he should get with the times.
So – one Mandrill slain, and in a few races hopefully the shallow and sensationalist British media, predominantly the written press, will realise they are wrong and refuse to give the 'reduced noise' minority lobby any oxygen of publicity.
All we need is the fuel sensor flow rate matter to be put to bed, and we can focus more on watching the drivers battle with their torque wrenched beasts and appreciate the skill of the engineers as they seek to tune them from without and within. Most importantly, it appears as though the racing this year may be very interesting indeed.

"2-D pie charts are terrible. That makes 3-D pie charts terrible to the 3/2

R-help (April 2006)"Please NEVER use 3-D pie charts. A simple bar graph would suffice, and be more intuitive.
To old farts.
(Sorry, nothing personal – couldn't resist to try to stay in tune with todays tone of voice)-
But really the pie shows % in the best way.
A far better poll to run would be one that asked if you had actually ever heard a F1 engine, from any era, running at or near its rev limit ,on the track. I would suspect that the answer most people would give is no. So they are complaining about something they actually haven't heard. If TV did give a realistic sense of the loudness and intensity, certainly for the last 10 years, you'd be wearing earplugs while watching a race at home.
spot on Cav :)
I've heard v12, v10 and v8 in real life. As far as formula one goes…Never heard the v6 live (yet). That's why I voted average. Because it sounded average on tv. The only way I could compare it… so did my buddy. And he was disappointed he got up in the morning for Australia. (I'm a bit more hardcore, I'm never disappointed when it comes to f1). And im old enough to remember there was controversy everytime the engines changed. But i do know that nothing ever baffled me more than a v10 with some 20,000 RPM. That shit was crazy!
I have heard the V8's live, once at Singapore and once at Spa. Both times I had to have horrible bits of plastic/rubber (what are they made with?) stuffed in my ears. For me, that detracted somewhat from my enjoyment of the overall sensation of being there, live, in the flesh and experiencing F1 with almost all my senses. I mean, it's like having sex with a condom on – sure it's safer but it just doesn't feel as good.
The new engines/sound is probably the only reason I'm considering going back to the Sg race this year. If they stuff around with the sound I may reconsider.
I work with earplugs. Custom made, so the experience isn't as horrible. (They let certain sounds trough, and they sit comfortably) but just like your condom example. They make you last longer and the choice to use em is up to you…
I disagree that there is a "choice" to use them. I agree that there are other types of protection that can be used, but my point is, that without protection most people experienced physical pain and almost certain damage to their eardrums with the V8 engines.
I note that people in the garages and on pit wall are still using some form of protection this year, so the engibes certainly can't be as "quiet/soft" as some would have us believe.
Or was your use of the word "choice" referring to condoms and not earplugs? (I was going to say something "clever" here but kept changing my mind on exactly what for want of offending anyone).
One suggestion I have to improve the viewing experience is to use the unidirectional parabolic microphones as used in other sports.
I've seen it on NFL.
Maybe Mattp55 or other American's can help with examples of other sports it's used in ?
It really makes a difference in collecting and isolating the sound on the field of play over the stadium / crowd noise.
And crowd noise in NFL stadiums can reach 108 dB …… !
Also the parabolic reflector is transparent plastic – so it wouldn't intrude into a drivers line of sight.
I want to hear what I see on tv. So if there's this cameraspot at a hairpin, I want to hear the audience around it and the cars approaching and accelarating off. Not cars driving in the background – which is the current modus for F1. So incredibly much to do for proper sound engineers and directors!
" Not cars driving in the background … "
totally agree.
You could see in free practice they'd just bolted some microphones onto the Armco. Seemingly at random too, to record the sound.
Bloody useless …… :(
Here is a video comparing the engine sound as heard in the stands at Melbourne on lap1, 2013 vs 2014
2013 sounds like real, familiar F1
2014 sounds like Star Wars spacecrafts, not as good
Will have to wait till Silverstone to make up my mind in person
re. " … however, he demonstrated that the design of the grandstand roof had considered noise amplification when constructed and this should mitigate the reduction in sound levels. .. "
Did Bernie say that before or after Tan Sri Dato' Seri. Ahmad Razlan bin Ahmad Razali the Chief Executive Officer of Sepang International Circuit?
At about 1min50sec in the interview here,
the Singapore race organiser and Bernie claim that the canopy design at Sepang reflects the sound to the grandstand.
The Singapore F1 organiser is "OBS" – Ong Beng Seng :
"Ong Beng Seng (b. 1944, Sabah, Malaysia – ) is a Malaysian hotel and property tycoon based in Singapore. Ong and his Singaporean wife, Christina Ong were ranked seventh on Forbes magazine's 2011 list of Singapore's richest people with an estimated net worth of S$1.9 billion. He is managing director of public-listed Hotel Properties Limited (HPL), which is involved in hotel investment and management, property development and retail. Ong played a key role in bringing the Formula One (F1) race to Singapore and owns the rights to the Singapore Grand Prix."
1was enjoying reading insightful Fl titbits that don't turn up elsewhere but the Judge is talking utter nonsense and making up Vettels character as he goes along. He was asked his opinion of the sound and he thought it was shit and went on to make a full and understandable explanation based on going to gp as a kid and the excitement of the noise. All you have to do is stop making things up .. Opinion is fine if it is based on some verifiable evidence and at least in part balanced. Having some anti red bull apostles in your corner is quite meaningless. I hope you focus on insight which is your strength.
i hope crofty turns the volume down at the start, ruined the lights out experience for me

The xtreme-production blades made for the Honey Bee Fixed Pitch work amazingly well on the EH200 w/3s batteries. The only catch is they break so damn easy that any mistake is pretty much unforgivable. I've gone through quite a few sets in a short time. I'm trying to think of an alternative as they're kinda pricey.

Q1: What batteries are you guys using in your TX? Anyone using rechargeable batteries? I have +/- thousand of rechargeable batteries but in the TX the voltage is too low - am I really need to use normal batteries respectively alkaline ones?
Q2: Does anyone have solid flybar? From the videos and pics everywhere on the web I saw that the F45 has flexible flybar. But not mine. Maybe a new version... //I really dont trust the charger. Looks like my first investment will be into a new charger and battery. And about charging - the heli just arrived. Is it OK to charge it now? I read its bad to let the battery go down on voltage so its better to charge the batter also when its not discharged. And also about charging - how to charge the battery? Take it out from the heli or let it be? |
Nov 30, 2012, 06:58 AM | |||
Of course, because of the lower voltage, the battery indicator on the LCD screen shows half discharged batteries, but anyway, it works for hours and hours Quote:

Well, I tryed about ten 2500mAh GPs and the battery icon was empty and blinking. Yeah, I havent charged them a while so Im charging them right now. Anyway its pretty rainy outside
In the manual it says that using rechargeable batteries (1,2v) reduces the range of the TX signal - is that true? |

Almost in every Russian village there is a story about a drowned tractor. Many tractors were being drowned during the Soviet period. During Soviet period of Russia all the vehicles belonged to a governmental structures and all the people worked in those structures, there were no any private farmer. So the governmental property was not treated with care. Often drunk tractor drivers were fond of visiting lakes and rivers accompanied with Russian girls for some swimming and just for tractor riding fun (during Soviet period there were almost no passenger cars in private ownership in Russian countryside). Often such trips were finished with a drowned tractor. Just like on the pictures below:
What else can be done - just some silent observation of the fact.
It's interesting, the buckle of this machine is moving, is it a result of some short circuit convulsion?
I bet those guys are passers by from some major Russian city. People in Russian cities are also amused on facts happening in the countryside. The sign that the guy in a light coat is showing means "bottle of vodka". At the end of Soviet era (80s) there was an alcohol prohibition across the Soviet Union, and different taxi drivers, truck drivers or just people driving across Russian roads carried some extra bottle of vodka as a source of income, if he saw somebody on the roadside showing such a sign that meant that he is not a hitchhiker but he is expressing an interest in buying a bottle or two.
The old guy seems to be unhappy. Unhappy with the tractor in the water and unhappy with an extra attention being paid from the side of the photographer.
Here is how the vehicle would be rescued. Another tractor is going to pull it out from the water.

Hedge Timber Exposure Against Inflation
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There's something to be said for looking outside the box in terms of considering including asset classes in your portfolio. In the past, I've espoused the potential benefits of exposure to water, as one example.
Timber, a positive in portfolio construction, has historically had low correlations with more traditional asset classes, is another outside-the-box item.
As an asset class timber has outperformed the S&P 500 over a bevy of time periods, and several challenging market environments, typically with a lower level of risk than equities.
In 2008, for instance, while the S&P 500 fell 38%, the value of timberland rose 9.5%. There's also plenty of evidence to suggest that timber is a good hedge against inflation, a phenomenon that I'm afraid we'll be experiencing in the near future (and already are to a certain extent as consumers), given the fact that the government has been running the printing presses at full speed.
There are a few ways that investors can get exposure to timber. Exchange traded funds such as the I Shares Global Timber & Forestry Index (WOOD) or Guggenheim Timber ETF (CUT) offer exposure to portfolios of both U.S. and international timber related names. Or, for more direct and concentrated exposure, there are publicly traded timber REITs. Like other companies that are organized as REITs, by law these companies must pay out at least 90% of taxable income to shareholders, so the yields are typically decent. These companies also own vast amounts of land, presenting opportunities to sell off those properties that potentially have a higher and better use than for timber. Plum Creek Timber (PCL - Get Report) is the largest private landholder in the U.S., and the first ever publicly held timber REIT. The company owns 6.6 million acres in 19 states, with the largest concentrations of property in Montana, Maine, Michigan, Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida. For perspective, consider that 6.6 million acres is more than 10,300 square miles, or an area 101.5 miles by 101.5 miles. That's larger than the area of 8 individual states, and roughly the size of Maryland. About 900,000 acres are of "higher and better use," which the company intends to divest over the next 15 years for conservation, residential or recreational uses.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Successful global supply chains require timely access to complete and accurate global trade content. Content isn't just data, though - content combines logic with data, automating rules with data to keep companies in compliance.
For example, calculating the landed cost of a good requires not only knowledge of the harmonized tariff schedule (HTS), the duties and fees – among other pieces of information-- associated with the item, but also the applying algorithms (the logic) to the information to calculate that cost. Similarly, simply knowing an Export Classification Number won't tell you whether you need a license to ship an item.

Custom fit Brake Controller for your:
Brake controllers are an essential part of a towing system with electric trailer brakes, and they offer a much-needed emergency braking feature. We offer high quality controllers from manufacturers such as Draw-Tite, Tekonsha, Valley, Hidden Hitch and Hopkins. Featuring both time-delay and proportional models, we have the right controller for any application. Brake controller wiring adapters are available for many vehicles, allowing for simple plug-and-play installation. Hardwire kits are also available to make any installation hassle-free.
Find your custom fit brake controller wiring adapter for a plug-in application by selecting the year of your vehicle to the left. We offer custom fit plug in adapters for many of the most popular vehicles, including Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, GMC, Nissan, and Toyota.
What our customers are saying:
I recently purchased the Odyssey brake controller and pigtail connector and was thrilled with the speed that the products arrived at my door. I was even more pleased with the ease of installation and use of these products. I honestly can't think of a better shopping experience for products that I needed quickly and put to use immediately.

Removing and Replacing Trailer Brake Shoes Review
Today we are going to show how to remove the break shoes on a typical electric break axle, this one in particular is a twelve inch drum. We are using that one because it is large and easy to see. This applies to virtually all electric brakes from this size on up and down to the smaller sizes. We will go over how it comes apart and the tools you will need to do it with.
Trailer Brake Controller Wiring Colors
Today we are going to cover a frequently asked question. It really turns up a lot. And actually it is easier than you think. Basically, if you have a pickup and you got a tow package with it and you got one of these wire harnesses that plug underneath the dash and plugs into your brake controller, you might have five or sometimes even more wires coming off of it. And you notice that your brake controller only uses four. We have got one over here, we will show you, that has just the four wires and what do you do with the extra wires? The short answer is do not worry about it, because the brake controller has all that it needs from these four wires.
Trailer Brake Controller Comparison Review
Today we are going to talk about the two main kinds of brake controllers, the proportional and the time delay. The two we have here are the Journey HD and the Draw-Tite Activator II. These are what you call the time delay brake controllers. Basically what happens is that when you hit the brakes, they come on at a certain speed that you set on the brake controller. Like on this one here, we have a sync switch here that controls how fast it comes on and then this knob here controls how much power it takes to stop the trailer. Basically you hit your foot brake and it comes on at the rate you determine and at how much power you have set aside for it, and then it stays there until you completely let off the brake.
Trailer Brake Controller Wire Testing
Today we are going to cover a few notes on testing an electronic brake controller. What we are going to cover here is going to apply to virtually all brake controllers. Basically, if you run into a problem where you think your brake controller is not working, well, it could be a the brake controller or it could be something in the truck itself, in the connector or c it actually could be problems in the trailer. What we are going to show you today is how to look for problems that will either rule out the brake controller or make sure that it is the brake controllers fault. Just like any electronic devices, they seem to have a limited lifespan some will work for years and some will not. But this way you can also verify that it is working good.
Trailer Brake Controller Installation Wiring Kit Review
Today we will show you part number ETBC7 brake controller installation kit. What this kit does is it fills in the blanks between your 4 pole connector and the brake controller. Basically on the instructions of your brake controller, it will show you a link between the foot brake and stop light switch, a battery, and then a line going out to the connector out back. This kit here fills in those missing pieces. We will cover each individual part. First we will start from the rear of the vehicle and work our way forward. This part here is 7 and 4 pole to 4 pole adapter. This will plug into your existing 4 pole that you have on your vehicle. It just plugs in like normal while this white wire gets grounded to the body of the vehicle. You will have a couple extra wires. The black wire will be ran to the battery. This blue wire here gets run to the blue wire on the brake controller.
Diagnosing a Brake Controller Problem
Alright, today on this 2009 Ford F-150 we are going to diagnose a brake controller problem. Now we can use these steps on any brake controller that is on the market to verify if it is working or not. Now our brake controller is already telling us that it has an error message. It is flashing an Er on top. Usually it means an internal problem. We tested our trailer so we know it is good. So, it is not that. So first off we will make sure we have a constant 12 volt power supply. We will check the black wire first. OK, we are good there. Now we will try our red wire for our brake signal. OK, that is good there. Now we will try our blue wire and that will be our output. So we should have output on this wire whenever we hit the foot brake or the manual override. OK, we get nothing on the foot brake and nothing on the manual override. So definitely the error is internal and this brake controller does have to be replaced.
Trailer Brake Controller Reverse Light Lead Installation
All right what we are going to do on this install is the reverse light lead to our electrical connector. For instance on a 5-pole you can use this on a boat trailer that has a reverse lock out for hydraulic brakes on it. Also you can use on a 7-pole application the trailer may have reverse lights on the back of it. Some RVs have a reverse light hook up on the back of it. I will show you the basic generic steps of how it is installed. 00:22

Hibs to extend McGivern's stay
Hibernian are close to agreeing a deal to keep Man City defender Ryan McGivern at Easter Road.
McGivern joined Hibs last August on loan until January and he has impressed during his stay in Edinburgh.
The left-back has made 15 appearances for Hibs and has quickly established himself as a key member of the side.
Hibs boss Pat Fenlon is keen to keep hold of McGivern and he is in talks with City about extending his loan until the end of the season.
City are happy to let McGivern stay on loan as he is well down the pecking order in Roberto Mancini's plans.
McGivern has enjoyed his stint at Hibs and he is thought to have verbally agreed to stay on loan for the remainder of the season.

It still isn't any of his business why his fried is being arrested. It is his business why he is being arrested if indeed he is arrested. It doesn't say in the story here that he was arrested, only that his friend was arrested. When you jump in demanding to know why your buddy is arrested, chances are you will get arrested as well and charged with hinder/delay/obstruct because you are interfering with the officers job. Sit back, shut up and listen when dealing with police. You may be right in the end but you will lose in the moment. »

NFL Injury Report

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - SEPTEMBER 20: Julian Edelman #11 of the New England Patriots runs the ball against the New York Jets at Giants Stadium on September 20, 2009 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Nick Laham/Getty Images)
New England Patriots free agent wide receiver Julian Edelman
visited New Jersey yesterday and will meet with the New York Giants today, according
to Mike Garafolo of USA Today.
Hmm, free-agent WR Julian Edelman is in Jersey today/tomorrow for a visit with the Giants.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) April 3, 2013
This would mark Edelman's first reported visit of the free
agency period. While the wide receiver proved dynamic in spurts during his time
with the Patriots, he was sidelined for the end of the season after undergoing
surgery on his foot.
That injury history is certainly one of the main questions
potential suitors have regarding Edelman, as he's missed time due to multiple
ailments over the past few seasons.
Beyond his capabilities at wide receiver, Edelman is also
known as a gifted punt returner. He's averaged 13.2 yards per return over 72
career returns. Still, it's unclear if his small frame can handle the beating
that the role of punt returner calls for over the length of a season.
If the Giants were to add Edelman, he could find himself in
a battle with Jerrel Jernigan during camp for the team's fifth receiver and
return-specialist role.

Danish veteran Thomas Bjorn outshone world No 1 Rory McIlroy on Saturday as he moved two shots clear after a marathon second round at the storm-disrupted Barclays Singapore Open.
Bjorn, 41, hit a sparkling four-under-par 67 at par-71 Sentosa Golf Club to give himself a great chance of his first win of the year, especially after weather delays left the event at risk of being cut to 54 holes.
The Ryder Cup vice-captain's rounds of 66 and 67, for a 133 total, are two better than South Africa's George Coetzee, who shot a brilliant eight-under-par 63, and England's Chris Wood after his 65.
Francesco Molinari, who starred in Bjorn's victorious Ryder Cup team, hit 67 to lie three off the lead and one ahead of England's Simon Dyson and three-time winner Adam Scott, who fired himself into contention with a 66.
McIlroy, needing a top-three finish to clinch the European order of merit, as he seeks to win the money lists on both sides of the Atlantic, shot his second successive round of 70, leaving him seven shots back from the leader.
Phil Mickelson chipped bravely between two palm trees for birdie on the 18th to avoid the cut by a stroke, but Major-winner Padraig Harrington, who claimed the PGA Grand Slam of Golf last month, was eliminated after rounds of 74 and 73.
The action completed a stop-start round that started on Friday morning and was halted after just a few hours as lightning storms hovered over the course. It finally wrapped up mid-afternoon on Saturday – 28 hours later.
"The course is not easy but especially having to go out and come back in. It's a been a bit of a frustrating few days," McIlroy said.
"Obviously it would be nice to play a nice stretch of golf and not have to stop and start all the time but that's just the way it is and I have to deal with it, but I'm pretty pleased with my two under."
Thailand's joint overnight leader Chapchai Nirat dropped to tied seventh with a 73, and 2010 British Open winner Louis Oosthuizen – who still has a slim chance of beating McIlroy to the European money title – shared 15th.
Meanwhile larger-than-life American John Daly, winner of two Major titles in the 1990s, withdrew overnight citing fatigue.
After long storm delays on Thursday and Friday, officials said the $6 million event may be reduced to three rounds if there are any more interruptions.

Omar Khayyam, one of the Sufi mystics, says in his Rubaiyat: "Don't be worried about your small sins. They are so small that God, out of his love, cannot even count them. And God is compassionate, he will forgive you." Omar Khayyam says, "I guarantee that you will be forgiven, don't be worried. What you are doing are just small things, and God cannot take note of these small things. He cannot be so nasty, so small minded, so pigheaded!"
Omar Khayyam is right. God means love, God means forgiveness; there is no question of fear. But people are afraid of God also for the simple reason that their God is again a projection of ambition.
The day Jesus was going to be crucified, he gave a farewell party for his disciples - The Last Supper. He was going to die the next day, and do you know what the disciples were asking? They were asking, "Lord, tell us one thing, because now this is the last time we will be able to ask you. You will be raised to divine glory, you will sit by the side of God on the golden throne, on the right hand of course. What will our positions be?"
These twelve apostles, these twelve who had been so long with Jesus, remained utterly deaf, blind; they did not understood a single word. They may have heard him, but they had not listened. They were asking, "What will our positions be? Who will be next to you?" Jealousy, politics, ambition, ego! Now they were worried about who was going to be next to him - who would be chosen as the most beloved disciple of Jesus.
It is the same politics! It does not matter that it will be in paradise; the mind is the same. Then there will be the fear - who is Jesus going to choose? All twelve cannot sit next to him; one person will be next to him. Who is this person?
Jesus must have wept - the question was so stupid! And these are the apostles who created Christianity. These are the people who are the pillars of Christianity.
And this is so in every religion, everywhere; small people gather around the enlightened masters. The enlightened master talks about his peak, the sunlit peak, and the disciples listen from their dark holes, and everything becomes distorted.
You ask me, "I am afraid. Will you help me?" That is a strategy. I never help anybody - you have to help yourself. I am available like a river is available, but if you are thirsty you have to help yourself. You have to come down to the river, you have to make a cup out of your hands, you have to take the water up to your mouth, you have to drink it.
The river is available - I am available.
