LONDON | Angelina Jolie can add royal recognition to Hollywood stardom. The Oscar-winning actress has been named an honorary dame — the female version of a knight — by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II.
Jolie, a United Nations special envoy, received the honor on Friday for her work combating sexual violence in war zones.
LONDON | Chrissie Hynde's new record, "Stockholm," is the first in her 35-year career without the Pretenders name on the cover.
But she says it's not so much a solo album — more a band that got away.
LONDON | "Harry Potter" creator J.K. Rowling waded into the world of Muggle politics Wednesday, announcing a 1 million pound ($1.68 million) donation to the campaign against Scottish independence.
Scots will vote in a Sept. 18 referendum on whether to leave their 300-year-old union with England and become an independent country.
Rowling, who lives in Edinburgh, said she had decided that "while independence might give us opportunities ... it also carries serious risks."
LONDON | The Museum of London is turning its magnifying glass on the most famous Londoner who never lived — Sherlock Holmes.
The museum on Tuesday announced an exhibition devoted to Arthur Conan Doyle's Victorian detective, featuring everything from hand-written manuscripts to the coat worn by Benedict Cumberbatch in the BBC series "Sherlock."
It's the first time the history museum has built a show around a fictional character. But Holmes is one of those rare creations who has long outlived his creator and captured the public imagination for more than a century.
LONDON | Bob Hoskins never lost his Cockney accent, even as he became a global star who charmed and alarmed audiences in a vast range of roles.
Short and bald, with a face he once compared to "a squashed cabbage," Hoskins was a remarkably versatile performer. As a London gangster in "The Long Good Friday," he moved from bravura bluster to tragic understatement. In "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," he cavorted with a cast of animated characters, making technological trickery seem seamless and natural.
LONDON | Four decades on from the flares, fame and fabulousness, the members of ABBA say they have no regrets — not even about the clothes.
Members of the Swedish supergroup marked 40 years since their international breakthrough hit "Waterloo" on Monday with a party for hundreds of guests at London's Tate Modern gallery.
Bjorn Ulvaeus said he felt "extremely proud and humbled" by decades of success that includes hit records, the stage and movie musical "Mamma Mia" and a Stockholm museum dedicated to the band.
LONDON — A British scientist says he may have solved the mystery of the Abominable Snowman — the elusive ape-like creature of the Himalayas. He thinks it's a bear.
DNA analysis conducted by Oxford University genetics professor Bryan Sykes suggests the creature, also known as the Yeti, is the descendant of an ancient polar bear.
LONDON — Readers, there is good news and bad news. Bridget Jones is back. But — brace yourselves — Mark Darcy is dead.
Fans have been shaken by the revelation, leaked ahead of publication of "Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy," the third book in Helen Fielding's series about the diary-writing singleton. He may be fictional, but the demise of Bridget's handsome lawyer lover — played on the big screen by a smoldering Colin Firth — was headline news.
"I turned on the news and there was the Syrian crisis, and then 'Mark Darcy is dead,'" Fielding said, amazed.
LONDON — Diamonds may be forever, but a lot of jewelry doesn't survive through the centuries. Rings and bracelets get broken up for re-use, pearls decay, gold is melted down.
That explains the excitement over a new London exhibition of the Cheapside Hoard — a trove of almost 500 gemstones and pieces of jewelry from the 16th and 17th centuries, dug up by workmen demolishing a building in London more than 100 years ago.
LONDON — Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey says television has overtaken cinema as the home of quality character-driven drama, but the industry risks failure if it doesn't recognize that viewers want control over what they watch, and when.
Spacey told the Edinburgh International Television Festival on Thursday that the success of his political thriller "House of Cards" — released in a single burst of 13 episodes on video streaming service Netflix earlier this year — showed that viewers "want freedom."

Sencha Rocks Interactive Brand Advertising
on Mobile Devices
Sencha Animator, the first professional tool for creating CSS-based animations, lets interactive designers create high-quality HTML5/CSS3-based animations that run smoothly on mobile devices and ad networks, without requiring a plug-in.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., October 3, 2011: Sencha, the leading provider of HTML5 frameworks and tools for desktop and mobile application developers, has shipped Sencha Animator, the industry's first commercial tool optimized for the creation of CSS3-based animations that run plug-in free.
Sencha Animator enables professional designers and advertising creatives to leverage Web standards and create highly engaging, cross-platform animations for WebKit browsers, the latest Internet Explorer 10, and popular touchscreen mobile devices. Using Sencha Animator, creatives can build rich advertising experiences for the Web that engage more viewers on a wider range of devices, boosting click-through rates and campaign ROI.
"CSS3 animations offer both cross-platform and performance advantages over JavaScript- and Flash-based animations on mobile devices," said Michael Mullany, CEO of Sencha. "Sencha Animator provides complete creative control over the animation via a familiar user interface, and also exports human-readable, standards-based CSS that can be edited for custom modifications."
Author and deliver rich, immersive experiences using Web standards
Until now, creating animations with CSS3 has been a painstaking manual process accessible only to designers with advanced coding skills. With Sencha Animator, any designer can create CSS3 ads that rival rich-media ads made with traditional desktop applications. Sencha Animator provides complete creative control over the animation via a familiar user interface, and also offers further customization using the JavaScript language.
Sencha Animator extends the Sencha range of tools for Web app developers
Sencha delivers application frameworks that enable developers to create rich applications for web browsers and mobile devices using web standards like HTML5 and CSS3. Sencha Animator and Sencha Touch deliver a powerful mobile application and animation environment for developers and creative designers.
Sencha Animator extends Sencha's tools, enabling the rapid creation of HTML5 and CSS3 assets:
- Create complex, plug-in-free animations for rich-media ads that run on any CSS3-compatible ad network.
- Powerful, intuitive, drag-and-drop development environment.
- Full CSS3 support, including animations, 2D and 3D transformations, backgrounds, borders, font effects, and more.
- Interactive timeline and intuitive object property controls.
- Manage sequencing, grouping, easing, and other effects with a familiar timeline interface.
- Create custom interactions with the familiar JavaScript language.
- Export animations to readable HTML.
- Ensure high-fidelity playback on the Apple iPad, Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, BlackBerry Torch, BlackBerry PlayBook, Google Android-based phones and tablets, and Windows 8-based tablets, and take advantage of hardware acceleration, where available.
- Supports ORMMA Level 1 (open rich-media mobile advertising), open standard for rich media ads for mobile devices.
- Available on every major desktop OS (Mac, Windows and Linux).
Sencha Animator pricing and availability
Sencha Animator costs $199 per seat and is available for immediate download from Sencha.com. Volume discounts are available; see the Sencha store for details.

KickFu—a fun mobile game built by gskinner.com—demonstrates the power of Sencha Animator to build rich mobile interactive content for the Web.
Museum of Science Advertisment
The Museum of Science—a mock advertisement created by Pushpop Designs— is a concept of an HTML5 rich media ad, in which the user can click to enter and explore the creative, and then exit whenever he or she chooses.
"Sencha Animator makes it fast and easy to create high-performance animations for mobile. With Sencha Animator's support for CSS3, I can create animations that are hardware accelerated, have low latency and perform great on devices. Plus, I can scaffold a new ad experience quickly and hand off the HTML5 file to engineering, knowing that they have the actual code and not just a visual reference."Ryan Kirkman, Sr UX Designer, Mobile at SAY Media, Inc.
"Sencha Animator lets designers and animators focus on being creative—they just start animating and see instant results, without having to focus on the underlying code. Being able to move elements around on the stage and do easing using the familiar timeline workflow is much more efficient and interactive. I was blown away by how many elements and effects we could use while getting great frame rates on devices and desktop."Michael Graves, Senior Producer of gskinner.com
"Sencha Animator has opened the door to creating rich, complex animations using HTML5 and CSS3. We build character-based animations which require lots of keyframes and tweening. With Sencha Animator, tools like motion path tracking and timeline workflow aid us in building lush, fluid character movements. These and other tools limit the need for extensive programming which is a huge cost savings."Corey Lansdell, Co-Owner, Illustrator, Pulp Studios Inc.
"We're designers and Sencha Animator lets us focus on design—it enables creativity, experimentation and interactive design. We can take a creative idea and build a variety of animations for our clients, so they have more options to consider—and it takes a quarter of the usual development time. Sencha Animator allows us to bring our creative design work to the next level."Joseph "Kel" Kelter, President of BadCat Design
"Mobile is no longer optional. Sencha Animator fills the gap in web animation tools and helps us deliver a new level of mobile creative. The timeline interface is so familiar that we were producing HTML5/CSS animations in no time, and with the actions interface, creating complex interactions is intuitive. That's what I'd expect from the people who brought us Ext JS."Marc Infield, Partner, Infield Design
"Sencha Animator has changed the way my company creates ads. Combining web standards and familiar animation design patterns, Sencha Animator delivers a powerful tool that makes it easy to develop intricate motion graphics for mobile. The application's unique interface makes it simple to animate CSS attributes and view them within the app itself, saving time and making it easy to build interactivity in Animator."Tim Stutts, Designer and Founder, Pushpop Design
"Sencha Animator is clearly the most comprehensive and powerful, yet easy too use and innovative CSS Animation tool. If you want to bring life to your website or mobile app, you should definitely check out Animator."Tim Klauck, Project Manager, Antetype

These reviews are the opinion of an RVParkReviews' member and not the views of RVParkReviews.com
Date of Stay: October, 2009 - $30.00
This is a mostly seasonal park with many old run-down units. The access roads within the park are in awful shape with potholes and overhanging branches. They need to do better with making people pick up after their dogs. Many remains lying about. You must travel through several residential neighborhoods before reaching park. The literature says it is big rig friendly, but we do not agree. We will not stay here again. We camped at Del-Aire Camping Resort in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: October, 2005 - $27.00
This campground has definitely changed for the better since the last review that was left in 2003. My husband and I (and our cats) really enjoyed this campground and we highly recommend it. We've been to many campgrounds and this is one of our favorites. It is in a very nice neighborhood in Tolland, CT. We ended up staying for much longer than we had originally planned. When you first pull into the campground the sites are out of view. Beyond the office you will drive down a lovely pine tree-lined road beside a small lake- beautiful setting. One of the owners was frequently, deligently attending to the upkeep of this lake (which allows swimming). There is a great selection of wooded or open sites. For the children there is ball field, playground, rec hall (with video games, pool tables and more) and the lake. They also have propane available and a small general store. Furthermore, the restrooms and grounds were always clean. We saw a maintenance man at the restrooms everyday as well as someone attending to the grounds. The staff and owners were so friendly. They truly went above and beyond- great people. Definitely give this one a try! We camped at Del-Aire Camping Resort in a Travel Trailer.Undo
I prepaid for 2 nights. When I arrived at campground it looked like a "trailer park" with
almost all seasonal residents. I didn't feel safe staying there and was told they would not refund our money. It was dirty and I would not recommend it to anyone. We camped at Del-Aire Camping Resort in a Motorhome.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
hey everyone,
Well, i took a shot at making a typeface. I am still working on it, specifically the numbers. I don't know if anyone on here skateboards, but the typeface is sort of inspired by a skateboard company called Krooked. Tell me what you think.
Also, this typeface so far has been made entirely in Illustrator, and i have no idea how to turn it into an actual font. Does anyone have any links or info i could read up on how to combine my characters in Illustrator into a font?
Hi josh!
I like your design (even though this has been explored before):
Some characters are thicker than others. C M N T U V A
So in addition to evening the typographic color continue to refine your numerals. Then you'll have something really groovy.
All my best you,
Mike Diaz :-)
thanks for the critique Mike.
Man, i swear i didn't look at that potato-cut typeface. I originally created about a third of the letters for a skateboard deck graphic, and decided that i might as well finish out the rest and turn it into a typeface.
Josh I know you didn't copy. Typophilers can tell if a font has been derived from another font and for sure its not the case with you.
I just mentioned Potato Cut because if you plan on selling the font one day to the public or to a client you have to be aware of the possibility there maybe competing designs. That means you have to be extra special. Just looking out for you.
:-) Mikey
The 'C' seems out of place to me. I'd either square it up, or add some more curves to other letters.
Is the 'W' just a flipped 'M'? Maybe modify it so it doesn't look like it is.
- Lex
Yeah, i see what you mean Mikey.
I was feeling the same way about the 'C' Lex, i am gonna square it up more to fit with the other letters, and also modify the W and M so they aren't so similar.
I was wondering if anyone has any comment on the numbers. Do you think they look better a little bit more rounded like the 1-6 or blocky like the 8 and 9?
Hi again:
If the alphabetics are rough and square then the numerals should be that way too.
Or if you want to be smoother in the numerals you should bring that to the letters because it create harmony.
Users will mix letters and numbers together in the same world so all these characters have to jive together.
Mikey :-)
Also, this typeface so far has been made entirely in Illustrator, and i have no idea how to turn it into an actual font. Does anyone have any links or info i could read up on how to combine my characters in Illustrator into a font?
Hi. You need to get a font creation program (Fontographer and FontLab are two, but there are others) and bring your Illustrator drawings into it. Check out the How-To section of the TypoWiki for more info on the practical aspects. Check out the Books section to find literature on the subject of designing or creating a typeface. Also, a Google search will probably get you some online tutorials on the basics.
okay cool. I have fontlab, but i wassn't sure if it was possible to import characters from illustrator into Fontlab. I will try to search google some, and check out the links you gave. Thanks!
Any other comments on my typeface?
"Is the 'W' just a flipped 'M'?..."
The J and the L also have a bit of that problem. They are clearly not flipped but yet appear rather too similar. Maybe the J could be re-thought.
I have fontlab, but i wassn't sure if it was possible to import characters from illustrator into Fontlab.
Adam Twardoch has some tips about that here...
Crap, this is hard. I am having trouble getting my illustrator characters to copy and paste or import into Fontlab. Does anyone else have any other methods, maybe outside of Fontlab to turn my characters into a typeface this time?

Ray Manzarek, Founding Member of The Doors, Dies at 74
The keyboardist, whose snaky Vox organ solos were as much a part of the band's sound as Jim Morrison's Beat poet vocals, met Morrison while they both attended UCLA's film school in the early '60s.
Doors co-founder Ray Manzarek passed away today in Rosenheim, Germany, at the RoMed Clinic. He had been battling bile duct cancer. Manzarek was 74.
The keyboardist, whose snaky Vox organ solos were as much a part of The Doors' sound as Jim Morrison's Beat poet vocals, Robbie Krieger's psychedelic blues guitar and John Densmore's jazzy drum work, met Morrison while they both attended UCLA's film school in the early '60s.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Notable Deaths of 2013
Born Feb. 12, 1939, in Chicago, Manzarek graduated from DePaul before making his pivotal move to California. Shortly after they both graduated from UCLA, Manzarek and Morrison ran into each other on Venice Beach. After hearing Morrison sing "Moonlight Drive" for him, they decided to form The Doors, named after Aldous Huxley's 1954 groundbreaking drug book, The Doors of Perception. Krieger and Densmore joined the band after meeting Manzarek at a transcendental meditation lecture.
The Doors initially signed to Columbia, but then Elektra picked them up when Columbia inexplicably dropped the fledgling band. Released in 1967, The Doors eponymous debut album literally broke on through to the other side, hitting No. 2 on the charts, led by "Light My Fire," the band's first No. 1 song. The seven-minute album version (written by Krieger) may have been sliced to three for the single, but it still retained its sonic power, anchored by Manzarek's and Krieger's lengthy solos.
The band would record five more stellar albums before Morrison's mysterious death in Paris in 1971.
PHOTOS: Sunset Strip Music Festival 2012
During the post-Doors years, Manzarek recorded several solo albums and wrote three books, one of which (Light My Fire: My Life with The Doors) told his version of the epochal five-year stretch when The Doors were one of the greatest bands of the classic-rock era.
Manzarek and Krieger got back together in 2001 and formed The Doors of the 21st Century, featuring The Cult's Ian Astbury on vocals. But Densmore, who disapproved of their appropriation of The Doors name, sued and was able to shut down the tour. Manzarek and Krieger subsequently toured together under their own names, playing The Doors music people wanted to hear. Now Krieger will have to go it alone.
"I'm just glad to have been able to have played Doors songs with him for the last decade," the guitarist said in a press release posted at Facebook. "Ray was a huge part of my life."
Manzarek is survived by his wife Dorothy, who he also met at UCLA, brothers Rick and James Manczarek, son Pablo Manzarek, Pablo's wife Sharmin and their three children Noah, Apollo and Camille. The Manzarek family asks that, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Ray Manzarek's name at www.standup2cancer.org. Funeral arrangements are pending.
In Manzarek's honor, Sunset Strip staples The Roxy and Whisky A Go Go are displaying remembrances on their respective marquees. The former reads: "We love you Ray Manzarek. You will always light our fire." The latter: "Thanks for all the memories."

Busted Forecast Led To Central Alabama Snow Mess
A mistaken forecast led to days of problems in Alabama's largest metropolitan area, but experts say predicting a winter storm is incredibly difficult.
The Birmingham metro area is still recovering from the snow and ice storm that stuck Tuesday with virtually no warning. Commuters and schoolchildren were stranded for a day.
Meteorologist Jeff Masters of Weather Underground says the rarity of winter storms in Alabama makes forecasting even tougher.
John Knox, a meteorologist at the University of Georgia, says Birmingham received the snow and ice that computers models said would happen around Montgomery.
Thousands of school kids were still out of class Friday since school systems throughout central Alabama took the day off because of lingering icy spots on roads.
Temperatures rose into the 50s, clearing away icy remnants.

I love cars, though I don't like to watch racing on TV. It often seems a bit, well, slow.
The Ferrari 458 takes the Mulsanne Straight at 180 miles per hour, a lime-green streak through the fastest section of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which ranks alongside the Daytona 500, the Indianapolis 500 and the Monaco Grand Prix as one of auto racing's pre-eminent jewels. About 240,000 fans ring the 8.5-mile track on this sunny day in mid- June.

Sound Innovations: Sound Development emphasizes playing with a characteristic beautiful sound. The components of producing this sound are broken into four levels, consistent with the revolutionary Sound Innovations structure: (1) Sound Tone, (2) Sound Bowings, (3) Sound Shifting, and (4) Sound Scales, Arpeggios, Chorales, and Rhythms. The levels can be used in the order that is best for your students, as individual warm-ups or as structured units. Your students will learn the proper use of the bow with the variables of tone, the next group of bowings needed for intermediate repertoire, and how to shift and play with vibrato. These skills will be reinforced with comprehensive scales, arpeggios, sight-reading materials, rhythm exercises, and warm-up chorales. Video demonstrations of key skills are referenced in the book and can be viewed online at www.alfred.com/SoundDevelopmentVideo.

We live in a reactive society. All of our rules and regulations come about because someone does something stupid. If we're not careful, we can find ourselves falling into the same pattern in marriage.
I was listening to Bruno Mars sing his pain on the song 'When I Was Your Man', as he reminisced on the little things his girl wanted from him. As I listened to him talking about buying flowers, holding her hand and taking her dancing, I couldn't help but recognize that the things she wanted weren't unreasonable. Since the song sold over eight million copies as a single, I also recognized he's not alone in feeling this way (after the fact).
How does this happen? We know what our spouses want, but our pride, our egos and selfish ways won't allow us to give that little bit of effort to grant them some joy. The sad reality is:
' The issues of life can kill a marriage quicker than any torrid love affair. '
People enter marriage with one or two non negotiables. The only time we have this 'proactive' stance or plan is situations like this where we say, 'if this happens I'm out':
-An affair
What about neglect, or rejection? What about constantly being made to feel bad about yourself? What about never seeing each other because you're so busy doing life? What about growing apart?
We never think a marriage will become a monotonous routine but it can quickly go that way if we're not both careful and truly Proactive.
I know you're asking how can we be careful and Proactive, so of course I have a list ( you knew it was coming):
1. Recognize and apologize for your errors. Realize there is some level of fault on both of your parts and don't focus on who should take more. Instead focus on you and what you've done because you're the only one you can really change when it comes down to it.
2. Make your spouse feel special everyday. Pour it on thick. Life beats em up so your job is to be there to pick up the pieces.
3. Show and Tell. Let's go back to elementary school, with this one. You can say you love me all day, but if you don't show me, save your hot air. Tell your spouse he/she is loved, then show that love in your most appropriate way. If you're not sure about this one, ask your spouse how they'd like you to show love. It may turn into a good night of conversation and you might actually get to turn off the TV and spend time with one another.
4. Make time to be alone. No cell phone, no tv, no interruptions. Look into each other's eyes and get to know one another all over again. You have to define what this looks like for you but I can guarantee what you're not willing to do, someone else is. Sorry, I hate to add that statement but it just rings true so often.
5. Do something different. Get out of your comfort zone and do something your spouse enjoys. I say this all the time but it's so important. When my husband sits through a chick flick without an attitude it makes me feel so loved. And I'm sure when I go to his shoot-em-ups he feels the same.
This post could go on forever, but I'll close by imploring you to switch from reactive to proactive in your marriage. Make your marriage a happy place so you're not looking to a second marriage whilst crooning about what you should've done.
May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth (Proverbs 5:18, New International Version).

Great hoster and nice place for a short trip to this region.
Clean room on the countryside.
The place is very idyllic and peaceful. It's a good thing you can park your car just beside the cottage. If you are not expecting a hotel Hilton experience then this place is just wonderful. The bed where I slept was really comfortable and there's a lot of space to place your travelling bags. The cottage is situated in a lovely coyntryside and it can be found quite easily during daytime. If you are arriving at night, be sure to have a GPS navigator or a good map :) I didn't see Victoria (and that was agreed upon before my arrival) but from the conversations I've gathered that she is a really nice and open person.
Nice appartement in a small red house next to Victoria's house, beautiful garden; small sleeping room, but enough for us for 3 nights, own shower and toilet. Victoria was very friendly and helpful with informations;
Victoria is a nice host. If you want to experience pristine Swedish country side you should visit her. The guest house was nice and clean. And we had a little breakfast prepared inside. :)
Victoria is a distinctive guest. Nice an well-behaved.
So nice to have you in my apatment,
very clean and descret, friendly and polite.
Hope to can host you again soon :)

Actually there's another thread in the forums that someone asked about the Yeager Class Starship. It was designed as a background kind of ship you wouldn't see often. A Kitbash of the Maquis Raider and the Intrepid Class Starship that uses the entire Raider as the engineering hull and only the saucer and nacelles of the Intrepid.
But push comes to shove. I'd rather see this one than the other Intrepid Kitbash they did that involved an F-14 Tomcat's Fuselage XD

Forget for a moment that you are you:
How easy would it be to cut those ties,
And set yourself free?
But make sure you know what freedom means to you
Lest you didn't want the whole dish
But just a whiff of it.
I was running amidst the crowd to get to my friend, who was to give me a ride, when I felt like stopping. I haven't taken proper photos in ages and I thought that this was the perfect time to give it a try. Although I didn't end up with what I had in mind, the big, bulky, trekking shoes, that I thought would keep me warm no matter what, finally gave in to the persistent rain, and mostly, the puddles. Fortunately, I wasn't as soaked as my friend, who had to ride the scooter without a raincoat. That's alright, though. Nothing makes coming home as happy an occasion as the trouble outside.
Maybe if I put a coat or two of melted, icy sugar,
that thorn in the middle will pierce through you?
I thought that things would work
But all of my truths are lies to those ears
Even worse, unacceptable sometimes.
I have been trying to find a way to please us
But it seems,
I have stabbed you in the same place
For a second time.
I'll probably be using the sugarcoats to fill the wounds.
In the 1990s, she left Nepal and went abroad to study. In 2005, she decided to come home and opened Higher Ground Bakery. Her neighbors sometimes passed snide remarks about her 'wasted' education if all she wanted to do was open a shop. But there is much more to Bimala Shrestha Pokharel and the bakery, and this is just where her story, interlaced with many other women's stories, begins.
"I actually wanted to take a break after returning to Nepal. My daughter was small and I wanted to give enough time to her," says Bimala, explaining how things took a different turn when she attended a meeting where she was brutally reminded of the ugly reality women had to face in the Nepali society. "It's not that I was blind to what was happening," she says. Yet, it completely took her by storm.
In 2005, Bimala decided to take some action. From an early age, she had wanted to do something to bring positive changes. Her desire to do so turned into a determination and inspiration when she went to Kenya in January 1998 to earn extra credits for college. The course 'Doing Goodwill in Kenya' sent her to various parts of rural Kenya where she was struck by the works of women in micro enterprises.
Photo: Bijay Rai
"The women were in poor condition. But they were sitting together and weaving baskets, and they seemed happy," Bimala recalls, explaining how that picture has always been framed in her mind, pushing her to realize her childhood dream of helping other people. That visit to Kenya helped her realize one more important thing, which was that if a woman had skills, she could take care of herself in any situation. This mantra later became the base for establishing her business.
In 2005, she sent three women from poor economic backgrounds for bakery training. Upon asking them to demonstrate what they had learnt, none of the women could bake anything. "Neither the doughnut worked out well, nor the cake they made. That was when I thought of taking things on myself," she said.
She had been interested in cooking, and with the three women, she started experimenting. She had an oven at her parents' house which she decided to bring to its full use. After lots of experiment, things slowly started falling into place and Higher Grounds Bakery was born.
It's a similar story with the Higher Ground Crafts, too, which is located above the bakery at Ekantakuna in Lalitpur. "A woman came to me and said she was interested in jewelry making. I wasn't sure, but I assured her that I would help her," Bimala explains.
She then got the materials, everything from beads to threads. The crafts business relies on the purchases made abroad. Now, with 12 staffs in the crafts and 18 in the bakery, she's proud of the work they are doing.
Her staff comprises people from different backgrounds, and she and her businesses have done well to accommodate them. Although her business is run with the intention of social goodwill, business is business. "We started as a business and aren't dependent on others," she elucidates. There are bills to pay and expenses to recover. Also, it doesn't help when you have to work with people who have a dark past.
"Working with people who have had harrowing experiences is difficult," she says. She shares that she has to work like a parent to push them to achieve their goals. "You have to be available for them and give unconditional love." This same consideration is extended to the girls who seek freedom from dance bars, at-risk victims and those who have been rescued from trafficking.
"We provide them a transit home. Even though they have been rescued and it may seem that their problems have temporarily been taken care of, there are still long-term effects that they have to deal with, for which they have to be helped," she says.
Higher Ground Community Development Nepal, an NGO initiated by her, takes care of such women and victims, and facilitates them with education and future job prospects, as per their choices. "We have to do everything to help them," she stresses.
However, at times, she felt like she should give up. "I wanted to give everything away and be a housewife, taking care of my kids and my husband," she reveals. But her husband intervenes every time. "My husband believes in the work I do and pushes me to do more. At times, I feel guilty about even thinking of quitting. I'm changing lives, although it's just a few," she adds.
Every now and then, when the frustration of work surrounds her, she reminds herself of the work she's done, the lives she's helped change, and the opportunities she has provided.
"Working without gas, water and electricity, three basic things to run the bakery, is obviously very discouraging," she explains. But effort has been made, hence results, too, will show. She plans to continue doing what she is doing right now, only with more determination. Now that her initiatives have grown out to live and breathe on their own, she trusts her employees to take the business even without her, if need be.
Now her days are spent more on ensuring the prevention of girl trafficking, in her own little ways. An avid runner, she takes inspiration from the Everest Marathon to encourage and make women aware of the atrocities they face. She goes running around Chobhar, as early as six o'clock in the morning, for an hour every Tuesday with a group who believes in her cause, as she wants to raise awareness in a wider demographic.
So, to those who look at Higher Ground Bakery and see just that – a bakery – you've got to look a little closer, dig a little deeper, to see beyond the façade.
What tips do you have for those who want to start their own business?
Go with what you're passionate about. This gives you the strength to work and make it work, no matter what happens. Know your strength and weaknesses.
Be careful with the investment. People think that having fancy furniture and gadgets are very important to attract customers. While that may be true, what's more important is that you start small, because you can always grow.
Be satisfied. Don't give yourself a hard time. Business is a game of gains and losses and you'll probably lose more than you'll gain. But at the end of it all, you know the amount of effort you put in it and you should be proud of it.

For some reason, my dad always refused to buy books (besides textbooks) for us when we were growing up. My brother was a voracious reader who gobbled bulky books in hours and always seemed to have an appetite for more. So one day, my dad came home with my brother with a pile of books and a new library membership card.
I was fascinated. Not that I read at that time. I used to be amazed at how frequently my brother went to the library, spent his entire weekend there and came home with another pile, only to go back as soon as possible. Once I went with him, as there were so many books that he needed help with, whence I became his regular company to the library.
It's been years since the last trip to the library, however. With the Internet accessible to us all the time, bringing books from the library hasn't been necessary. You just need a computer with Internet access and whether it's an assignment or joy reading, it is possible from there. Going to library is no longer necessary.
Patrons say
From the quiet of the Kathmandu Valley Public Library (KVPL) in Bhrikuti Mandap, however, 18 years old Shweta Pandey whispers otherwise. Flipping through the pages of Samrat Upadhyay's novel, she seemed intent on enjoying the book.
"I don't get the reading environment at home that I get in the library, so I make a point of coming here as often as I can," she says quietly. Tired of preparing for the entrance exams, she wanted some peace and time to herself. A library seemed like the perfect place.
Khusi Acharya, 25, too, thinks similarly. She came to know about KVPL from her husband a few months ago, and ever since, she frequents the library to have some fruitful time studying. Preparing for her Masters in Business Studies´ second year exams that is fast approaching is easier here than at home.
Though coffee shops have been successful in luring trendy readers, a library still retains its impression as a go-to place if you want an interruption free time. While the old patrons keep the library quietly buzzing with life, the arrival of the new visitors hints towards a long lifespan.
Anish Thapa, 21, a third year student at Pulchowk Engineering Campus, had been to KVPL once a few years back with a friend. Tired of looking at his complex course books in his college's collection, he had gone there seeking fresh change.
Libraries as service providers
With the development of new technologies, libraries too have been forced to adopt it as a part of the library services. Ritesh Newa, 25, who has been working at KVPL as a library assistant for the last six years, says that although the numbers of members seem to be growing, the facilities, too, have had to be increased.
"Every year, besides bringing hundreds of books, we also have been providing the members with e-library," he says. The e-library is a lot of help for the members, who download the materials they want from the library and use it.
With the growing load-shedding, libraries have become a favorite destination to pass the time. As the library has a power backup, Newa assumes that it also helps bring more readers. Wi-Fi has been made a mandatory facility, whereas visitors can also use the computer it provides. Hence, for people who can't afford all these facilities, libraries become a crucial ground for them.
Of late, in some parts of the country, the concept of Green Library has also sprouted up in regard to the public's obsession of going green. The idea is to be useful to literate as well as the illiterate by providing the latter with what they may need, farming tools, for example.
Challenges of keeping afloat
Rita Paneru, 27, who found the library on her way home one day and has been a regular since, says that one bad thing about the libraries anywhere is that they don't open for long hours. The second year student of Masters' in Development Studies at Kathmandu University (KU) laments that much time is spent on traveling, as students without vehicles have to battle the traffic. And with most libraries operating during the office hours, students like them who would want to go and spend some more time, feel disappointed.
Newa says one of the reasons that the library is forced to close down for the day is that they lack adequate number of staffs. Being a government funded library, they can't do anything about the six staffs along with three volunteers who are not enough to operate the old and new buildings. This causes problem not only in the timing of the library but imposing the rules also becomes difficult, as members sometimes don't bring their library cards to borrow books, which is against the policy.
At least, KVPL is sustaining itself. The AWON Library, which stands for Active Women of Nepal, and that once enjoyed a wide readership is struggling to keep up its daily facilities due to lack of staffs and volunteers. Previously situated in Kupondole in Lalitpur, they shifted to the Rotary Club premises in Thapathali. The Rotary AWON Library since has been scraping to bring back its old patrons and lure in new ones.
The silver lining
As much reflective and contemplative libraries make us, these days, their survival also depends on how interactive they can be with the patrons. Just catering to the needs of the visitors or the members has not been enough.
To take a cue, KVPL also conducts children's book reading sessions on Saturday afternoons. Even Nepal Bharat Library at New Road conducts programs like Poemandu, Cinemandu, Conversations, etc. time and again as a pretext to lure in people and maintain the flow.
While giving Rotary AWON a last glance before leaving, I almost bumped into a woman who had come with her daughter for a new membership there. The daughter had come to know about the library from a senior at college and had insisted on being a member there.
Around the world, some libraries have been forced to offer just digital information in their bookless libraries (libraries without print media). That day doesn't seem near in our context. Readers still are too attached to the print version of the writings, thankfully.
Although libraries have been conducting a silent rebellion against illiteracy for times immemorial, it's not enough. Only by making people actively participate with the libraries can they do something about the burning issues and the crises that the libraries may face.

They say start from a clean slate –
how wrong!
The words that were once written
in the slate
in white, blue and red
could be erased,
but not forgotten.
Always, in the realms of my unfortunate memory
they strive and they fight –
Wake and revive that rebellion
I, caught in the chaos of
this kingdom of the forgotten
and could-not-be-forgotten,
swallow the bitter truth,
along with my sleeping pills,
and sleep.
Did we take enough photos?
To capture the evidence of presence of innocence,
before all the violence destroyed hopes from life.
Scented animals spread fear and terror
And expect the timid to bend before
their three guns that they point from four directions
The only place to go thence,
are the graves that smother the voice
and trace of smiles
in the healing power of the earth
that takes takes takes
and leaves nothing,
but life behind.
I then saw a photo an enthusiast took,
long time back,
of a sapling
that wanted to give life.
I bookmarked that paged.

Hey look! A red version of the Acura NSX Concept for the Beijing Motor Show. Because it's China, you know. Get it? Red. As in "Red China."
As any Acura diehard would be quick to tell you, a revival of the iconic NSX is long overdue. In true Honda fashion, the automaker decided that, if it was going to go to the trouble of producing a legitimate sportscar, it was going to take on the very best in the industry. Suffice it to say, the NSX delivered the goods.

Two Ohio talents shine in NYC
A blend of stars and surprising names dominate the New York Nike combine
Updated: May 2, 2012, 12:52 PM ETBy Kynon Codrington | ESPNHS
NEW YORK -- The Nike Football SPARQ Combine made a stop in the Empire State on Saturday afternoon, as more than 900 prospects converged at the fields of Randall's Island Park. Two Ohio natives stole the show, as one of them recorded the day's highest SPARQ rating and is looking to rise on the recruiting scene after his impressive performance.
Chardron (Ohio) running back Alex Muir racked up one of the day's top SPARQ ratings with a 102.66. Muir had the highest vertical jump at 39.6 ...

HoopsHype Magic Johnson rumors
Magic Johnson knows greatness when he sees it. The Michigan native led Michigan State to a National Championship before embarking on one of the best careers in NBA history earning MVP honors and championships with the Los Angeles Lakers en route to a spot in the Hall of Fame. And he sees greatness in Saginaw native and current Golden State Warrior Draymond Green. "He's one of the best overall players we have in the game of basketball," Johnson said. "If you take probably LeBron, Klay Thompson, probably right now (Russell) Westbrook. I would say he's one of the Top 5 all-around players in the league." Booth Newspapers
Who would he have chosen to play with Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson? "With "Showtime" they loved to get the ball up and down the court and Magic loved to get the ball to the big man. He would be feeding me lobs and dunks all day long. Michael would be scoring 60, I'd have to go get the rebound." FanSided
Riley and Anthony Mason had their battles, but there was also much love, which made attending Mason's funeral last week so difficult. "When one of your players, that you coached very intensely for five years, leaves the planet before you do, it's like one of your children," Riley said. "It's just very hard." He's been around long enough to see several other favorites—his Forever Men, from Brian Grant to Magic Johnson to Alonzo Mourning—endure serious health hardships. "When Earvin went down, we thought it was the worst," Riley said. "When Zo went down, we thought it was the worst. When Chris, you think it's the worst....So it really affects you." Bleacher Report
Then Magic started off. He called guys out on how they just wanted to be Lakers for the parties and the girls. He reminded them how nobody at the parties cared about them, just that they were Lakers. Since they didn't take care of business, next year they would be gone and the girls would be interested in whoever else was wearing the Laker uniforms. Right about then somebody's beeper went off. It is 7:20 in the morning and a beeper goes off (remember it's 1994). Magic stiffens up like a hunting dog and starts zooming in on the sound. It's muffled like its in a gym bag but the room is pretty small and we can all hear what direction it's coming from. SheridanHoops
I'm biting my tongue trying not to laugh. This is going to be great! Luckily I didn't have a beeper so I can just enjoy the show. The damn beeper won't stop beeping. Finally Magic focuses in on Vlade Divac, who has his hand in his pocket trying unsuccessfully to turn it off. "Vlade, hand me the beeper" says Magic. Vlade hands it over sheepishly. Magic holds it up and says, "See this is exactly what I am talking about" and he turns around and throws it like a fastball into the wall, WHAM. It shatters into a million pieces. Vlade looks like a fish on the dock. His gills are moving furiously but no sound is coming out. SheridanHoops
While there was plenty of blame to go around, the bottom line is that when the relationship breaks, things go into the crapper at warp speed and there is little chance of fixing it. For the Nuggets, it seems likely that major changes will result from this. Good chemistry is almost impossible to pull from a bad situation like this one. A new coach will naturally want to remake the roster, so look for the Nuggets to be bad for a while. It's a shame for a team that was so close to getting over the hump. The team didn't contend again in LA until they reworked the roster after getting Shaq and Kobe. In Orlando, the Magic weren't good again until they gutted the roster and built around Dwight Howard. SheridanHoops
Mark Medina: Mitch Kupchak on Magic saying Jim Buss doesn't give him enough authority to make decisions: "I have the same authority I had w/ Dr. Buss. Jerry West had the same authority with Dr. Buss. I've got that same authority with Jimmy. Jimmy and I work very closely together" Twitter @MarkG_Medina
Mike Trudell: Kupchak:"For some reason, (Jim Buss) gets a lot of the criticism; maybe that comes with the transition form Dr. Buss, but that's not fair." Twitter @LakersReporter
Magic Johnson says Zach LaVine brought back the dunk contest… one year after saying same thing about John Wall NBCSports.com
"This is the worst for the two biggest cities, L.A. and New York. It's not good for the league," Johnson said Saturday during a signing event at Steiner Sports NBA All-Star Pop Up Shop in Midtown. "It's great that everybody else is better, but we've got to have the Mecca of basketball, the city, playing well. "We've got to have the Lakers being relevant as well," Johnson said. "So I feel for Derek [Fisher] and Phil [Jackson] just as I feel for Jeanie [Buss] and the Lakers." New York Post
Mark Medina: Byron Scott on Jim Buss: "He gets a lot of blame for a lot of stuff that's not in his control." bit.ly/1vjXfXG Twitter @MarkG_Medina
Former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson said he has serious questions about whether Jim Buss can turn around the team, which is mired in the worst period in franchise history. "Jim is trying to do it himself and trying to prove to everybody that this was the right decision that my dad gave me the reins," Johnson said Tuesday on ESPN's "First Take." "He's not consulting anybody that can help him achieve his goals and dreams to win an NBA championship." ESPN.com
Later, in an appearance on Stephen A. Smith's SiriusXM/Mad Dog Sports Radio show, Johnson again questioned Buss, although this time he did so while referencing Lakers star Kobe Bryant. "And I really believe this: [Kobe] should ... say to Jim and them, 'Look, if you don't sign one of these free agents [this offseason], man, I'm just not going to play next year,'" Johnson said. ESPN.com
Earvin "Magic" Johnson is open to dishing out another big assist ... to the NFL. The NBA icon told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday that he can envision becoming involved with whatever NFL franchise ultimately lands in Los Angeles, which would bolster local presence as the league ponders a return to the USA's second-largest market. Johnson -- who has ownership stakes in the Los Angeles Dodgers, the WNBA Los Angeles Sparks and a new professional soccer team, the Los Angeles Football Club – said that he hasn't been contacted about a role by anyone with an NFL connection but is open-minded regarding the prospects. USA Today Sports
In a recent issue of Ebony, Johnson and his wife, Cookie, addressed topics ranging from Donald Sterling to wealth building. Regarding her marriage, Cookie is quick to admit that her and Magic have had "our ups and downs." "We had a period where we were about to separate," Cookie revealed. "There was a point where I was home all the time; he was working. Sometimes you start growing apart a little because he's seeing new adventurous stuff. He's out in the world. He's growing. [But] I'm stagnant." Daytona Times
Magic Johnson created a mess earlier this month by saying the Lakers should "lose every game" and secure a top-five draft pick. Some Lakers fans hated it, some loved it. Lakers players and coaches definitely didn't like it. But when Johnson and good friend Byron Scott ran into each other a week later, there was no such talk. Los Angeles Times
"When I saw him, he just said, 'You're doing a great job. Just keep doing what you're doing,'" said Scott, who wasn't thrilled when Johnson initially talked about tanking but said he forgot to bring it up when they saw each other. "I didn't even think about the tanking stuff," said Scott, in his first season as the Lakers' coach. Los Angeles Times

Auditions are 1/10/15 for two of The Overtime's latest productions
GLAAD to Know You by Lee Hurtado and Chad Green (dir. Morgan Clyde) and The Lucky Woman by John O'Neill (dir. Kelly Hilliard Roush)
Auditions for both shows will be Saturday, January 10th from 2-5pm. Callbacks will be Sunday, January 11th from 7:30-9:30.
The Lucky Woman will run April 10th-May 16th. Rehearsal schedule will be announced soon.
General auditions will be cold readings from the script.

Synopsis: The Lucky Woman explores two worlds: a contemporary classroom at an Alternative campus taught by Vivian Parker, who has recently returned to teaching after suffering an horrific family tragedy, and the dressing chamber of the Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, Sophia, as they prepare for their fateful trip to Sarajevo. As Vivian's students study the beginning of World War One, they decide to stage their own version of the assassination that never should have happened; the two worlds converge, and the students, with the Archduke and his wife, all participate in the reenactment of June 28th, 1914. As Vivian reflects on her own losses, she realizes the parallels between her shattered existence, and the murdered Archduchess and her orphaned children.
Come join us as we explore and give life to this exciting new piece!
