It's not easy developing a germ of an idea from a 12-year-old incident that changed world dynamics forever, into a gripping, even entertaining film. But, talented director Radha Mohan, who's proved his mettle many times over as a teller of good stories, manages to achieve that in Silent Movies' Payanam, thanks to a spiffy storyline, humour-filled dialogues, some stylish acting by Nagarjuna (oh yes, after all these years, he still makes your heart flutter as the ready-to-strike commando!) and effective performances by an ensemble cast.
It's a regular day at the Chennai airport, and for the passengers of Star Jet SK 957. However, shortly after take-off, terrorists hijack the flight, demanding the release of their leader Yusuf Khan, and Rs. 100 crore.
The scenes that play out see the flight making an emergency landing in Tirupati, hectic negotiations between the Government, led by Home Secretary Vishwanath (Prakash Raj) and National Security Advisor Lakshmirathan (Krishnamurthy), and the agitated terrorists, a media circus outside the airport, the passengers from different backgrounds (an aged couple, a doctor, a retired colonel, a mimicry artiste and a family from Pakistan) slowly forging unlikely bonds, and NSG commandos led by Major Raveendran (Nagarjuna) raring to strike. Thanks to a stroke of luck, they get that chance, and it's adrenaline-pumping action after that.
Radha Mohan, in a departure from his feel-good movies, and dialogue writer T.J. Gnanavel strike gold with fast-paced scenes and sparkling dialogues. If there is someone who can bring in light-heartedness to a gripping thriller, it has to be Radha Mohan — there are digs galore at punch dialogues in senseless films and improbable situations. Ironically, a similar film comes to their rescue later on.
A great advantage is that the film grabs audience attention from the word go —you're worried about the plight of the passengers one minute, chuckling the very next at the wry humour, and before long, gripped by the suspense.
This is where the actors come in. Radha Mohan rewards his favourites with author-backed roles — M.S. Bhaskar as the Rubik-cube loving Father Alphonse and Brahmanandam as the director of formulaic films are a revelation. Prithviraj as 'Shining Star' Chandrakanth whose bluff is called during a crisis is a riot. So is Chaams as the doting fan whose blinkers fall off. Charan is competent in twin roles — he plays Yusuf Khan and junior artiste Ranganathan who's suddenly called upon to serve the country!
Nagarjuna, looking every inch a super-fit commando, sinks his teeth into a role that calls for myriad emotions — you now understand his 13-year-long hiatus from Tamil cinema! Bharath Reddy (a cardiologist in real life) as his dapper deputy makes an impression too. And, it is to Prakash Raj's credit that despite being the producer, he gracefully lets Nag hog the limelight.
Somehow, Kumaravel, another favourite, gets a raw deal; the character does not really touch your heart.
Another drawback is that the terrorists are not menacing enough; and, what is the logic of their leader masking his face when dealing with the negotiators and looking his regular self before the passengers?
On the technical side, K.V. Guhan's cinematography is top-rate — Kashmir being bathed in snowfall, and a fight illuminated only by bursts of gunfire need mention.
The aircraft and airport are apparently a set. Really? Art director Kathir, take a bow! Music director Pravin Mani comes up with a rousing title track, the only song in the movie; the background score peaks and plunges at the right moments. And, at two hours, the film is tight in most parts, thanks to editor Kishore.
As the end credits roll, you only wish there had been a Major Raveendran who had his way in December 1999 at Amritsar!

Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is a epic sound for some reason it reminds me of ODST but heck its awesome!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
When hearing this two things would come into my mind:
-travelling over a mountain with a group of heroes [like in Lord of Rings over the snowy mountain] and a beautiful horizon appears and then a world map fades in to show the groups progress, or:
-apreaching a fortress located above the clouds [like in Star Wars V when meeting Lando Calrissian]
What I want to say is,you're just amazing and to-be fantasy movie directors should definetely consider to ask you being the music composer for them =D

Statue Needs Help with Aging
Our 28 year old son passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in his sleep from pneumonia 2 years ago. His name in English means "lion" and so I purchased a white resin garden statue of a lion to sit atop a small water feature at the end of our pool. That way, at family get-togethers, it is almost as if, in some small way he is with us.
All that being said, I need to tone down the bright white color to blend more with the grey, beige, brown colors of the stacked stone feature.
Can anyone tell me what kind of a product I could use and how to use it or will it require a professional?
Thanks for your help.
Since peeling is an effect of aging, why don't you stain the lion a light gray/rown, then use the Rustoleum on it? Then if/when it peeled, it would look even more realistic
You wouldn't even have to be careful with the stain, since the sun and weather age things really unevenly.
That's a lovely sentiment. I'm so sorry for your loss. What an absolute nightmare for you.

Ovation to Benedict XVI Final Mass

8 Thousand people Ovation to Benedict XVI in his final Mass. Feb 13, 2013
1 - 2 of 2 Comments
2 years ago
Hi The Pope made a decision of consience, which if the world could be like the Pope things will be better.
2 years ago
I wept as this ovation went on and the Pope in his humility stood there to accept it. My thoughts were that this was a wonderful way to salute a person that is living. It broke my heart to see the casket of John Paul the Great leave us. Pope Benedict has had my admiration and respect for who he is as a person, his intellect, and the words he is leaving with us. He knew it was time to step aside. This was his choice for us more than for himself I believe. God bless Pope Benedict.

Miniature Donkey
I have recently purchased a 10 month old unregistered miniature donkey. She has shaggy long hair and my husband thinks that I should shave her. My research has shown that they supposedly lose their hair after 2 years. Can anyone tell me whether she can be shaved or does she need it for body warmth?
she doesn't need it now. But for winter she will. Donkey's are slow to shed off winter hair. Here in the south it's some times early June before the slick off. Get some brushes and curry comb and teach her to stand while you brush her. You can shave off the knots and masses to hurry it along. She'll enjoy all the special attention and grooming is great bonding time...
When I got my first donkey 25 years ago (and she is still with me) I thought I should shave her so I did. The poor girl got very badly sunburned and it was awful!!
What I have learned since is that donkeys need their hair for sun protection and especially bug protection, not to mention body warmth but not in the summer. Here is NH my donkeys don't completely shed out until the end of July and this is when a majority of biting flies dissipate for the season. So while it might not be pretty I say leave her to shed out on her own because she has that hair for good reasons.
I sure would not shave her until it gets a LOT warmer, both day and night. My mule filly did not shed until way later than the horses.
A couple baths, getting her clean to the skin, for a couple minutes anyway, will help her feel better, help get any dirt out of the hair and smells gone. Sometimes it will help loosen up the hair too. Stiffer brushes for donkey and mules for the body, are GREATLY appreciated, so they can REALLY lean into the scratchy-ness rubbing the skin.
Donkeys LOVE to be groomed, and you will benefit by her getting handled often, making her easier to work with. Running your hands over her skin will help prevent any bug bites, cuts or holes being missed in all the hair.
If you do think she still needs shaving later, maybe July would be a good time, warm weather. Wash her first, saves your blades from any dirt dulling them so fast. I would keep her inside during the hot hours for a couple days, to prevent sunburn, get her hair back up for protection. No close shearing, we use the regular #10 blades on the big clippers so the horses are not bald.
You could do a trace clip first, removing her hair underneath the lower neck, chest area, belly area, halfway up her sides, to allow better body cooling. The back, rump, neck is still covered for sun protection. This cut is real popular in winter for working horses, hunt horses, so they dry quickly after sweating, then get blanketed when you finish riding. Then you can do the whole animal later, if you still think she needs more hair off.
I have to say the long-ears I know LOVE being hot. They stand or lay out in the hottest part of the day, absorbing the rays! Husband always said they were saving solar heat for the winter cold!
Does she have a sandpile? All the long-ears LOVE to roll in their sandpile. Better than little kids with a mud puddle! You can later point it out to your friends as the A**hole. Everyone with a long-ear equine, has one in the paddock or field. She will be SO HAPPY with it to roll in.
Handle her ears gently, check for bugs inside. I use a smear of vasaline on any crusty bug bite places, ears, chest, bellybutton area, front leg armpits, to cover the scabs. Just a light coat, rubbed in, seems to help keep the gnats away. Check her front and hind cannon bones, seem to be very popular bug-biting places on long-ears in southern states. Folks say they get quite bloody, need leg protection. Bugs don't bite the horses on legs like that.
I also agree that you don't need to shave her. My 3 mini's are rolling in the dust and their coats are slowly coming off. By mid-July they are so sleek looking ...it amzes me every year that it's the same animal as the shaggy beast that they are in mid-winter.
My little guy, Merlin, was born on my farm and kept his coat for longer than I could imagine. He's 6 now, but I remember wondering which summer he would finally shed it completely.
Thanks to everyone for all your useful information. We had a vet come out to the house to check KatieKate over and to administer vaccines. He told us to let her hair fall out naturally, that she should lose it before no time. He also said there is really no need to bathe her, which surprised me because she's simply filthy! So all in all, we will feed her 1 flake of hay in the morning and 1 flake at night and give her a handful of feed daily...groom her daily and give her an abundance of love! She is absolutely cute and I love her to death!! Thanks again for the info everyone:)
I agree with what others said. Not to clip her. I have three mini donkeys, and the young ones really get long coats, but it's there for a reason! They'll get more normal looking in a couple years! As long as she has shade if she wants it, and fresh water, she should be fine. Does she have any friends? Donkeys really do prefer the company of other donkeys (a great excuse to get another one!) but can do ok with a horse, goat, sheep, something other than a donkey. They will be very lonely without something. And may get very loud. They love us as their people, but we cannot be with them 24 hours a day, and no matter how hard we try, we can't be another donkey/animal.
Whatever you do, don't let her get away with cute little things now. I have one donkey that was spoiled up until she came here, and it is very difficult to break these habits....she can be a very naughty donkey, but we love her anyway! Love her of course, but make sure she also respects you. I also have a young one, she's 9 months old, and she's getting quite pushy, and we're working on that. A pushy 9 month old is cute. But a pushy adult...not so cute. One may think mini donkeys are harmless. Well, they are still very strong little buggers! =)
Clipping should really be just for the show ring. I recomend a Mars Coat King to remove the winter coat. (30 blade)
Heres my guy holding his head high after i got most of his winter coat off this year.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Hello; i don't own Minature or any other Donkey but I like to see the Breeds; I agree; I too think the Fur creates protection for the Donkey from both the sun and cold; I like the idea someone mentioned of the Shag Cut; clipping the longer fur around the tummy and legs; and leaving fur on back for protection; my comment is: re: Bug Bites; a. Vaseline can be smeared on the shins to protect from bites
b. Zinc Oxide Creme (in a tube) can be dotted on bites and spots; such as any spot blemish bug bit of unknown cause...
c. Thiamine Vit. B1 can be added to water to ward off bugs; (the Donkey drinks the water; bugs don't like the smell of Vitamin B1 Thiamine which will be on donkeys self!
There are many Natural ways to keeps bugs away...Nice Pix!

Warm front ahead: Spring fling 60s next week
Our warm front comes with gusty south winds Saturday and even stronger northwest winds behind another front Sunday.
Our warm front comes with gusty south winds Saturday and even stronger northwest winds behind another front Sunday.
If you missed out on seeing the Northern Lights last week, you may be in luck.
University of Minnesota climatologist Mark Seeley says the forecast is for more chances of precipitation through the first couple of weeks in April.
Our weather appears ready to lead the calendar as we turn the page to April this year. Spring is in the air again by this weekend. A strange bright object returns to the sky the next few days. Not a moment too soon for seasonally challenged Minnesotans.
We endure 48 more hours of chilly March breezes before winds turn southerly and begin to deliver a more spring-like air mass.
The vast stands of thick rain forecast suck up carbon dioxide and store some of the extra carbon we humans have been belching into the atmosphere for a century. This uptake of atmospheric CO2 is an offset more rapid climate change. But massive deforestation and changes in regional climate are making the Amazon a less effective carbon sink.
Sunshine returns but temperatures run colder than average but through Friday before another warm front arrives.
Another blustery day is on tap for Wednesday. A cool air mass settles over the Great Lakes for Thursday and Friday. Temperatures slowly moderate this weekend and into Monday.
Cool temperatures are in store for Thursday before a warm-up arrives for the weekend. Expected high temperatures on Saturday, show readings closer to average.
Many times forecasting weather is like sausage; if you like it...you don't want to see how it's made.
When conditions are just right, Northern Lights can dance across the Minnesota night -- for those who know how to find them.
Photojournalist Derek Montgomery shares stunning photographs along with practical solutions for creating your own images.
We slog through slush today as temps rise above the thawing point. Low 40s tomorrow continue the melt until the next system arrives Tuesday night.
Reported snowfall totals reached almost 10 inches in Lakeville and 9 inches in Zumbrota, according to the National Weather Service in Chanhassen.
Minnesota thinks it can compete with the Sun Belt through tax policy. Here's why Minnesota is wrong.
A fairly compact low pressure system is sparks a relatively narrow band of heavier snows through tonight. The system shows signs of a slight southward jog, which supports my thinking from last night that the heaviest snow bands will eventually set up south and west of the Twin Cities metro.
The heaviest Minnesota accumulation will fall in a band from Willmar through Jordan and Rochester. Be prepared for changing travel conditions Sunday.
Update 9:45 pm Saturday night: The latest model trends continue to ramp up potential snowfall totals Sunday. Several models now crank out a narrow band with heavier 3″ to 6″+ snowfall totals in or very close to the metro. But there are also several factors working against accumulations that high. I'm not ready to buy…
Friday marks the first official day of spring. Signs of the season include golf courses opening up, outdoor patio seating -- and ice out.
A bright sunny Saturday gives way to a gray Sunday capable of a some stray rain and snow showers. Just a reminder the calendar stills reads March. European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts

Using aeration to keep hole in ice
I live in New York State, and I'm hoping to use a luft aeration pump to maintain a hole in the ice in my 150 gallon garden pond this winter. It is a plastic molded pond, about 12 inches deep. Has anyone under similar circumstances had any luck doing this?. I can't afford to buy a deicer AND an aeration unit. I've read very poor reviews on every brand of deicer as far as failure rates after the first season-some even during the first season.That is why I am leaning towards the aeration unit.
I have a 1500g pond and all I use it the aeration to keep a hole in the ice,I have used it for the past 3 years and it works very well. I also have a smaller pond that when I first built it I bought a de-icer.... those will run your electric bill up very fast!
If the pond is allowed to completely freeze over, the toxic gases from the fish/frogs breathing, as well as rotting vegetation, will build up under the ice in the water and kill the fish/frogs. If a small hole is kept open in the ice, it will allow these gases to escape, and the fish/frogs will survive the winter.
Hi, I use a small pump placed about 115 inches under the water with the discharge pointing streight up. This keeps the water moveing so it wont freeze. I plase it and start it up when I shutdown my falls and main pump for the past 7 years.
If you are in NY, with a small 12 inch deep pond, I would be conserned about it freezing solid! I have had up to 6 inches of ice on my 1200 gallon pond in NJ. Do you have fish?
I share Mike56's concern. I'm in Southern Ontario and 12" of water would freeze into one solid block. If you have fish you may want to think about bringing them in. In our zone you have to go 4' down to get below the frost level. I placed the aerator just over halfway down in the 8' deep end of what use to be our 20 x 40' swimming pool and last year everyone survived. It kept about a 5" hole open every day except the three or four that went to 25 below.
I had a pond about same size (150 gals) - first year thought Id leave fish out but the thick ice by early December made me worry so much I spent a day setting up indoor tank and melting the ice on the pond with hot water (dont pound on it) and rescuing my fish. They are very sluggish and easy to catch and move when the water is in the 40s - you just have to be careful that the water you move them into is same temp as water they are coming from. (Bring in ice from outside to cool the indoor tank.)
It's about 45-59 degrees in the basement during the worst of winter, so they are semi-dormant and easy to take care of like they would be outside - the difference is I dont worry about them like I would if they were under the ice.

Witness: Surveillance video shows truck in air
GONZALES- A day after a tornado ripped through Ascension Parish, more witnesses are backing the claim that a small truck was lifted several feet in the air by the twister.
Surveillance video from a convenience store near the corner of Airline and Babin Road caught what witnesses believe is the small truck being thrown through the air.
Just as fire fighters were responding to that call, more surveillance cameras caught the damage at the 7th District Fire Department.
"I turned that scene over to another fireman," said Lloyd Solar, Assistant 7th District Fire Chief, "I come over here to check on my building, when I turned onto Highway 44 off Black Bayou it looked like a bomb went off."
The twister damaged several fire engines, including one tanker truck that now has a small leak, but fire fighters say it won't stop them from doing their job.
"I can assure the community that it's not enough damage to stop us from running calls, we will be there for every call for the community," said Solar.
The fire department will be manned 24/7 until the damage is repaired.

Lovely recipe! I couldn't find red currant jelly so used cranberry sauce instead, and made sure I strained the sauce before serving. Will be making again!
This was just delicious! The sauce was super easy and very yummy. I didn't have any redcurrant jelly so I just used cranberry jelly and then strained the sauce through a fine sive. Paired with the duck, they are a match made in heaven.
This recipe was so easy and a hit with the dinner guest. Duck is not a meat that I cook frequently but it turned out tender, moist and delicious. I substituted plums for cherries as can plums are impossible to find. The proportions for the sauce was way too much for 4 duck breast so I froze it and used it again for another dinner party I had. I sieved the sauce so that it would be smooth without the pureed cherry bits. Highly recommended recipe
Couldn't find tinned plums, so substituted with some marinated cherries, and it was delicious! Very quick and easy, will definitely be making this one again!
This was fantastic! Family loooved it. I accidently bought pre cooked duck breasts so applied the sechuan spice blend and just reheated in a hot oven. Very Moist and tender. The sauce is beautiful. Am going to make again for MIL 's birthday with fresh duck breast. Hope it's as good.
This is the first time that I've served up duck, and I won't be doing it again. Nobody ate it. The sauce was absolutely beautiful though, I made it with fresh plums that I roasted in the oven.
This is a great simple recipe. You can make the plum sauce in larger quantity and store in jars (can use old fruit juice bottles with vacuum pop lids) and then it is super quick with the sauce ready to go and great with some steamed rice and a little stir fry pak choi. We love it!
loves it!
I think we overcooked the duck just a tiny bit but overall a fantastic dish - we served with cauliflower puree and wilted greens and it was sentational! Will definetly make again,
was really loved this dish, the sauce was super yummy. As others have said sauce would be great with other meat dishes too. Would def do this meal again!
Best Recipe - pity Duck Breasts arent more readily available and less expensive
This was absolutely beautiful, my husband made the sauce!! We have used the plum sauce on other dishes such as pork.
this was really nice. I couldn't justify the price of canned plums though, and as they are in season I bought fresh ones. I halved them, sprinkled with a teaspoon of sugar and a couple of teaspoons of water and oven roasted until tender, then pureed in a blender and sieved before proceeding with the recipe. The colour was absolutely divine! I served with a big bowl of steamed greens.
I couldn't find canned plums so used canned cherries instead and the result was a fantastic dinner.

Alongside Hypnotic Poison, Shalimar and Opium, this was my adolescent fragrance par excellence. A warm, rich, golden, unobnoxiously sweet Ur-Oriental, a then-ideal amalgam of spice and softness. A saucy scent but not a brazenly or hyperbolically sexual one (a la Gaultier Classique et al whose frisson lies heavily in a liberal administration of boozy vanilla, which I needless to say now employ liberally).
As a whimsical teenager with a penchant for overpowering old lady perfumes (Opium and Ysatis, which I still own) and a compulsion to re-read Patrick Susskind, this was the proverbial bee's knees. Suggestive but not damningly explicit (it murmured or ghosted rather than bombastically howled), evocative of dimmed lighting and antique frivolities and decadent faux-bohemia, a scent that lingered on shirt-sleeves and lingerie days after the initial spritz.
I was, of course, and still am (albeit in a different configuration), a hopelessly pretentious and precious wanker.
Now with such a demanding nostalgia for the stuff, I've felt compelled to revisit it, and my first reaction was that I'd received a stale batch (Ebay - could well be).
What had been imprinted upon my precocious teen memory as piquant and lush with spice is now more woodsy and muted. Its sweetness - both the literal and figurative - seems diluted and musty, somehow not quite right.
It's not an unpleasant scent by any means, but it fails to excite, to evoke sensorial lust. That lushly golden cinnamon-vanilla elixir is now stilted, expired, mediocre, only inoffensive.
This shift could well be an alteration of the product itself, a change in own skin chemistry (and whilst it lingered lyrically for days then, I can't get so much of a whiff of it on myself after ten minutes now), or perhaps more indicative of my current adult need for something more libertine, authoritative, opulent, eccentric. I turn thusly to Serge Lutens like a woman with a noble olfactory mission.

Fragrances are very subjective but I wanted to add my two cents worth. This has been one of my all time favorite fragrances. I find Givenchy perfumes have wonderful staying power. I actually had a number of male friends that were at a party I was attending come up to me and give me a hug to say hi. The next thing they asked was My God, what are you wearing..it smells fantastic. Enough said.
Update..it is my understanding this amazing fragrance has been discontinued..why oh why???

Hear it's been discontinued, but lucky me I can get my hands on 100 ml bottles, so I will stock up a few.I think this one is a perfume I can enjoy as I grow older and when I'm looking for the understated but still mysterious and captivating effect.
I think this is my favorite givenchy fragrance, with the LE fleur d'oranger and Very irrestible rose centifolia.

This is a very warm and comforting woodsy vanillic incense scent. It's standing on the edge of gourmand, yet is good enough that I love it despite my gourmand-phobia. It is a strong scent, and intensely sweet and warming. Unfortunately, it's not the easiest to find and the bottle is weighted oddly so it tips over easily.

Cinnamon, vanilla, and WOOD. It's a wonderful warm spicy gourmand, very sweet, I can see it being awesome in winter, but it doesn't make me want to cuddle myself like BLV Notte. If that matters.

My husband and I really liked this on a magazine scent strip some years ago. It smelled like hippie incense. (This is not a bad thing in our household.) But when I went to try it at a department store counter, I was sickened by the choking clouds of it sprayed by a 13-year-old ahead of me in line. I finally decided to give it a second chance, applying carefully. Yes, it smells like hippie incense, grown expensive and sophisticated. I can see why it has many fans. But it's a bit extroverted for a comfort fragrance (big sillage is the one thing it has in common with the original Organza), and eventually I felt like my nasal linings were being slowly burned away by cinnamon. On a brighter note, the amazingly ugly bottle wasn't used when they re-issued it recently.

I have an 8 ml decant of this fragrance. I actually really dislike the bottle for some reason, so I doubt that I'll ever buy a FB, but I would buy another decant, or otherwise happily get my hands on some more of this juice.
Organza Indecence is a warm fragrance, that's fairly rich, and quite woody. I originally tried Organza Indecence because I had heard it compared to a couple other fragrances that I'm deeply in love with. It doesn't *quite* measure up to those, but it's a great compromise in terms of price. The notes include a creamy, powdery softness, with amber and vanilla, a bit of spice (especially in the top notes) from the cinnamon, an incense note I believe may be benzoin, and woody notes in which I smell cedar, though I haven't seen it in any lists of notes. The top notes (with the sharpest part of the cedar, cinnamon and benzoin (if that's what it is)) dissipate very quickly, within the first couple minutes of wearing this fragrance, but the middle and base notes have excellent lasting power. The fragrance is an enveloping, warm one, that could be overpowering in hot weather. I think of it mostly as a cool weather fragrance, or as a comfort fragrance, as I find rich, sweet fragrances to have that quality.
I think this fragrance smells great, and it works well on my skin. It's really a shame it's been discontinued and is now hard to find. That was a big mistake, Givenchy, are you listening? Bring this back!! (in a better bottle, please!)

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are taking a break. According to People, the celebrity couple hasn't been photographed together since April 22 and they have been vacationing separately with their kids. The couple has not filed for divorce and they hope they can work out their differences. "They want the best for their kids no matter what happens," said a source.
What are three reasons to take a break from your relationship?
Cupid's Advice:
Deciding whether or not you need to take a break from your relationship can be difficult. Â So when should you take a break? Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Different goals:Â Being in a relationship with different goals can be tiring. Â Even though at one point you might have had the same goals, people change their direction. Â If your goals are different and it doesn't seem like you guys can agree on the same path its probably time to take a break and think about what you two really want for the future.
2. Fighting:Â Fighting all the time with your partner is unhealthy and tiring. Â Fighting every now and then is common in a relationship, but if it the only communication that you two have anymore it is time to re-asses the relationship and take time apart.
3. You're not happy:Â The relationship that you are in should always make you happy. Â Happiness means a lot and you and your partners happiness should be important. Â If one of you are not happy it is time to go your separate ways for a little and see if you can find happiness elsewhere.
What are some reasons you have taken a break from your relationship? Share your stories below.

How to string stringed beans
deanriowa(4b)July 9, 2008
I am growing pole beans this year for the first time and some of them will have strings.
I heard people mention they have problems removing all of the strings from their beans. I thought all you did was break/snap off the stem end and pull the string from the back of the bean or is there something else I need to know?
How do you remove the strings from your beans?
That is basicly it Dean. Just remember to remove the string from both sides of the bean. Some folks who really hate strings may peel down both sides of the pod with a paring knife. Hard to get them all no matter how you do it. I like the flavor of string beans, but my wife is completly turned off when she encounters a string and refuses to eat them.

Karine and Remi were fantastic guests. Although I didn't meet them, our communication was very clear before and during their stay, which made our (unexpected) absence absolutely seam-less. They were clean, tidy, respectful and understanding. I would love the chance to get to meet them next time they're here or when we go to France! I recommend them to all hosts everywhere.
What wonderful guests! It was an absolute delight to have Karine and Remi stay with us! We wish they could have stayed longer. I have no hesitations in recommending them. They are extremely clean, polite, interested in travelling and were so easy to communicate with :-)

this issue has been driving me crazy. What I am trying to do is trigger a notification when the user enter in a region. However, what I want is, if the user is using the app show an alert message and if the app is in background shows a local notification.
Here is my code:
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didEnterRegion:(CLRegion *)region
UIApplication *app = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
if (app.applicationState == UIApplicationStateActive)
NSURL *musicFile = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Alarm" ofType:@"caf"]];
AVAudioPlayer *audioFile = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] init];
audioFile = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:musicFile error:NULL];
[audioFile play];
UIAlertView *arrivingDestinationAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle: @"Arriving" message:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Alert"] delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[arrivingDestinationAlert show];
}else if(app.applicationState == UIApplicationStateBackground || app.applicationState == UIApplicationStateInactive)
UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
notification.alertBody = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d to reach your destination", self.distToRemind];
notification.alertAction = @"Destination Approaching";
notification.hasAction = YES;
notification.soundName = UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName;
[app presentLocalNotificationNow:notification];
[manager stopMonitoringForRegion:region];
What I was doing before was working. Which was lunch an local notification without asking whether the state of the app was background or active. I was just lunching the notification as soon the
didEnterRegion was trigger. However now I can get it work.
Am I missing anything?

Numerical Notation: A Minor Threat
Hoo boy. Year of the Sheep, right? Some people only seem to notice when it's a "cool" animal like a dragon or a snake. We have a name for these people: DILETTANTES. There's nothing cool about sheep, except this Minor Threat cover, so get used to seeing that I guess. But wait, it's the Year of the Ram, isn't it? Rams are cool. What with the head-butting and…that's it. It's enough. Give rams a chance. Or goats, who cares.
But I'm not here to review Minor Threat. Or talk about astrology. I've listened to enough Minor Threat for a lifetime (since I bought the Complete Discography on CD, in 2006) and it's unlikely to make it back in rotation, unlike the Chinese Zodiac which repeats every twelve years…of course.
Forget all this happened.
Shit, that's still the title isn't it. Look, I'm gonna explain.
I've made a system of numerical notation. I call it Numerical Notation. The notes of the chromatic scale are given the number 0-11, starting with A.
In this system, if you care about the Modes (which you should, if you care about why there is a lettered system) the Aeolian mode, or A Minor, is the base scale, not C Major(the Ionian). It's debatable that A Minor was historically, originally the more important. I think it sounds better. That's not important. The important thing is to make this a non-vague point. Because I have noticed some other examples using notes for numbers starting with C as 0. I even said in earlier posts that you might as well do this if it makes more sense, but it doesn't, in the big picture, and I'm gonna make the case that this is not some kind of arbitrary nerd bullshit dicking-around.
Here we are then with example one:
The sharp/flat system has been primarily designed for use in the major/minor system; when speaking modally, it's a lotta look, to quote a famous fashion designer. All the flats and sharps tend to obscure the simplicity […] We need a different system of talking about melody. If C is assigned the number 0, C# the number 1, all the way up to B = 11, we can study the system numerically, and also universally, as any tonic can be assumed. Zero can just as easily be G#, or E. Also, since the tonic can never change by our definition, it's not necessary to include it. Here's an example to show what I'm talking about.
C Mixolydian is C D E F G A Bb C. If we assume that C = 0, and continue from there, then C Mixolydian can also be described as 0 2 4 5 7 9 10 12.
This post is excellent and you should read the whole thing. I should read the whole thing. The point is that here is someone making essentially the same point as me, naming the notes 0-11 (12=0), but starting with C. (Note that is doesn't predate my initial posts.) Not saying he stole it, but I also said it was an "open source" idea, which is a pretty dumb way to talk because it is not a computer program. But I guess that can be interpreted as "feel free to steal this idea". I was drinking a lot at the time. It's not like you can patent this kind of thing anyway.
But let's run with the open source concept and say he explained the idea better. I'm gonna bring it back around and explain why it's easier for everyone if A=0.
But first(second), example two:
This is from a video that goes on to explain a new type of keyboard layout for an experimental instrument called a Terpestra. Now this is the kind of thing you can patent and even sell. Good luck to him. Again, not saying he stole the idea. Even if he did, can you really expect drop-in citations in a video like this? It's not relevant who came up with each idea in this kind of presentation. It's also kind of an obvious idea once it's out there. Not as obvious as starting with 1 tho.
But it's about to get even more obvious. Check this out:
A a# B C c# D d# E F f# G g#
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
C c# D d# E F f# G g# A a# B
Which one of these makes more sense? You might still pick C if you are already trained in music, but how would you explain that to a student? The letters and numbers should be going in the same direction. It's intuitive.
If you never start, you can never branch out into other things, like the higher concepts these other guys are talking about and the simplest way is the best way to start.
So while you are thinking about all this, here's a video of GWAR covering the Pet Shop Boys:

Recent Projects
My 2014 Year End post did not really cut it as far as things I've been working on. It also included about a dozen things I plan on not doing again: running jokes that have stopped running, and were barely jokes to begin with; injokes that I am the only one in on; unreferrable references. And so forth.
Why don't I not be an asshole for a minute and clue you in on some stuff. Because I forgot myself. So how are you supposed to remember these very important things?
This blog
Only four of the six categories on this blog are really active.
The current category you are reading is dead, but it dies a lot.
J-pop vs. Metal
Has it's own site. It has always been an intermittent project. The major development this year in J-pop and Metal (perhaps) has been the rise of groups which do J-pop/Metal Fusion. I don't have anything to do with that and I'm not really into it. There's possibly a common ancestor to both these things, a mashup artist or group called Evil Morning. I posted one of their videos to MySpace back whenever when I was posting random stuff and I got a really positive response but it wasn't what I was looking for, and I wasn't trolling, I just thought it was cool and well-done, but the general feeling was, "wow someone took the two worst kinds of music and put it together to make something hilarious." So I started pairing the original Morning Musume videos with Metal videos I thought complemented them because I thought it was good music and it also made a funnier joke. This wildly unpopular series of bulletins expanded into what it is now: a wildly unpopular website.
I just noticed I put the few reviews I did this under the wrong category, so I guess it's good I checked.
[the list one]
Really, the year end list is the only thing I really need to do on this whole site.
[the music theory one]
Still going. Just noticed I've been working on this idea for 5 years. Almost coherent.
[the translation one]
Should get better.
Other blogs?
I am still (or should be) on lang-8, but spend most days on japaneseclass.jp, which has a blog feature I don't use. Add me on both then never use them, why not.
The tumblrs
I pretty much only post to the the main one and the sidebar anymore. But in 2014, I ended one and started another (that never took off):
This was created literally as a dumping ground for an enormous queue backlog, but intentionally created and ended on John Cage's bday, Sept. 5th. and with 6 posts to a page for the sides of a die. The maddening associations (design or theme-wise) between posts on each page were meant to come about (or not) by chance operation. At some point I learned to predict and plan where each post would show up, which took a lot of time and defeated the dual purpose of eliminating the absurd queue and having more freedom to post whatever and see what happens. But in the end I could only control the top page for each day and since it ended finally, all of the posts after the first page are arranged due to chance process after all.
This is actually a group blog that no one else has posted to. The posting link is only in the facebook recovery group for ex-Loungers, which is a real thing you should maybe be in already.
[Shonen Knife Wrote A Song About That]
Only a few recent posts when I could find something. Shonen Knife has written a lot of songs, but not so many to keep a tumblr of only reblogs going after 3 years. But they haven't broken up yet.
Has been my only photographic outlet lately which should be remedied. Only using an iPod Touch for everything has its pros and cons. Most of the pics, esp w/ filters look so bad blown up it's almost funny.
I recorded a few improv pieces but didn't put anything out except this one for George Korein's One Finger Piano project. Didn't get enough people to make it an album, but maybe in the future. It was an interesting idea. Unlike recording under the name "Hakujin".
I think I'm gonna not use italics anymore.
chance operations, conceptual art, design, evil morning, experimental art-music, george korein, giant robot, hakujin, japanese, john cage, jpopvsmetal, morning musume, nihongo, photography, shonen knife, update, whatever the fuck
2014 Did Not Exist
Posted in: x
Posted in: RECORDS.
Posted in: list10
久しぶりね? Last year I promised (to myself, no one else really cares) a post every Wednesday. This is a full-on, objective failure that I feel I have to mention up front. I make no such promises this year (to an imagined audience); in fact, I'm going to tell you I'm giving up forever and then come back anyway. People love that.
I've never been and am unlikely to be, important as a music writer. However, I used to be the guy paying attention to music no one else was paying attention to. That's no longer the case. Besides from other bloggers who have a legit professional craft that now regularly talk about Asian pop music with a straight face, it went pretty mainstream this year. Once people got used to stuff like PSY and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, which, while good, is pretty much the exact sterotype of hyper goofiness the average person might expect, things seem to have settled down and it's generally accepted that it's not all like that. Earlier I even thought I found a band no one had written about, the unwieldily named ゲスの極み乙女。(Guess no Kiwami Otome), when I found a write up not in a blog but Time Out Chicago. Skipping right over the blogs now. Even Rolling Stone put K-pop's Hyuna on their best videos list.
Well shit.
But forget about that. The big event for me as a person who writes things on the internet was the demise of the Robot Lounge, long running message board of Giant Robot Magazine. Giant Robot is kinda just a brand now that has some stores and art galleries and they finally redid their website to reflect this. The art and the toys and stuff used to just be a small part of Giant Robot, I think of it as just one of the eject-able lionhead/hands that just kinda floats in space now. Still cool, but it's only a piece. GR encapsulated most of the things I was interested in from the late-90s on, and the board starting in late 2000 even more so. As cool as the magazine was, the board was more intellectual, funnier, and more filthy. Lacanian deconstruction (of J-pop videos), who Sammo Hung could beat in a real fight, and the joys of sex during menstruation could all be active threads on any given day.
I only write online because of the Robot Lounge. I would still be making my experimental art-music or whatever the hell it is I really do and posting it online, but I would be one of these yahoos with no ability to communicate socially, auto-sending direct messages on twitter: "Hi, I'm from [thing you've never heard of], I realize we live now in a world of unlimited free entertainment, but here's more with no context." What a great way of telling people you only followed them for the followback—awesome job guys, girls, most anyone trying to get attention for anything. Don't give that potential audience even the chance of an illusion that they themselves are interesting, cool plan.
Anyway, I kinda lost interest in following most sites very closely, and haven't even looked at most of the major lists. So there's none of that recapping the entire internet nonsense I used to do. And I haven't lost interest in buying large amounts of new music, but I have lost a lot of time and money this year doing other things. Like studying Japanese more seriously. That's a big one. And once you step off the internet content train for a bit you start remembering things you used to enjoy like books, and movies. Really just one of those things at a time, for a couple hours at a time. That's cool. And shows. And playing music. That's maybe even better. For part of this I actually had some extra money because my health insurance dropped me and then I got on Obamacare, so I enrolled in a real Japanese class, bought some tickets to shows I would not have seen otherwise, and a cheap 7-string. Then I lost one of my jobs and now I'm broke again until I figure out something new. But that got me out of a hell of a rut. I got myself into a whole new rut of watching old anime and horror movies, but who are you to judge?
Point is, there's not much to go through here. There's my favorite 10 records this year, and then 10 more records and change, and we're done here. For now.
Oh, I almost forgot, I've been saving this:
End of year lists are egotistical circle-jerks.
— LURKER (@LURKERSPATH) December 10, 2014
There's also a downside. But I forget what that is, because I forgot to leave a note with this draft. (Always leave a note.) Wait, it's forgetting stuff you liked. Not a problem this time. Not really a problem for me at all, because in "the game" (…) of music writing, I'm nobody, and I'm fine with that. I'm just a long-winded message boarder.
The List
Cibo Matto | Hotel Valentine
Didn't expect this to be this good. Heaviest rotation. Some people seem hung up on the fact that they are like 50. Lotta bands from the 90s are 50 now. But wait, that means they were like 35 then. I don't remember anyone listening to Fugazi and saying, "fuck these old dudes". People said different things, but nobody said that. GOOD RECORD.
Shellac | Dude Incredible
New Shellac album is always going on the list. They are the Motorhead of indie rock. More consistent, even. And younger. Yes, 2 90s bands at the top. I am from the 90s. Gotta be from somewhere.
Tombs | Savage Gold
Got into this more than the last one, which was great, but the songs clicked for me here better and great production by Eric Rutan. I love how it opens with that delay/pitch shifted riff. Good opening riff makes you put the album on again and again.
Agalloch | The Serpent and the Sphere
I was not into this band much previously, but I went to see them for the hell of it and dug it. So I got this album on cassette and drove around all summer in a car with only a cassette player and no air and roll-up windows. (The car had air, but I refused to turn it on. I was trying to remember how much the 80s sucked. The only other cassette I had in the car was Black Flag's In My Head. Try it. You will not be pleasantly surprised. I did this for months until I broke out my Pizzicato Five dubs.) On repeat, the album puts you in kind of a trance. Of the albums floating around that mix Black Metal with dreamy post-rock/shoegaze vibe, I like this one best.
Mastodon | Once More 'Round the Sun
I still love Mastodon even if they don't always make an album of the year. What else can you say. I'm not that good at reviewing records? You could say that.
Emerald Four | Nothing Can Hurt Me
Japanese witchhouse or whatever thankfully going strong because Purity Ring is normcore now or whatever, I have no idea what's going on, this is a chill record.
Boris | Noise
This was supposed to be the ultimate Boris record whatever that means and I don't think it is, but it's pretty cool. I got the deluxe version on iTunes that has some live bonus tracks. In some cases, for some reasons, I think Boris is better live than on record. These are not those cases. Do not buy the deluxe version. There's youtube vids you could rip with better quality. They need to get a good live recording that gets all the bass in somehow, that would be the ultimate Boris record.
Marty Friedman | Inferno
I like Marty Friedman, he's really good at playing guitar. I could do without the vocal tracks on his albums, but these ones are not completely terrible. So maybe this is really the best Marty Friedman record ever, if you don't count Tokyo Jukebox. I do.
Triptykon | Melana Chasmata
Oh man, this should be higher right? Just listening again. Got the CD for the art but only heard it so many times. Is this album cover the last thing H.R. Giger did? End of an era right here.
(Does this band's name come from the Transformer, because I forgot all about that and just noticed it.)
Behemoth | The Satanist
Technically and musically you'd have to say this is the best Behemoth album, where they finally brought the very mechanical blackened death metal into back the more organic realm of their earliest material. But I actually like the previous few that border on an industrial death metal sound, those are always gonna be my favorite. And I don't care about the whole taking Satanism thing seriously, I prefer the vaguely sinister stuff of previous years. There's been a lot of talk with these bands along the lines of, "I don't agree with it, but you have to respect their religious beliefs." Nah you don't. It's metal. The whole appeal was not respecting religious beliefs I thought. When you keep it on that level, I'm into it. When it's on that Tom G. Warrior level when it's really about depression and death, and no one knowing anything, I'm into it. Thankfully when interviewed, the members of the band seem very politically naive so they aren't really promoting some fascist agenda, but you see where I'm going where I'm fully not into it. You gotta see there's like a potential overlap there. I think right in that edge space is a lot of potential for great art, but sincerity can be a problem in that area. Great artists are not necessarily great thinkers.
Best Single/EP
Namie Amuro | Tsuki
This is technically a single for a completely forgettable ballad. It's the b-sides that made this an esstianal purchase for me. (Which I bought the last album for without checking the playlist, haha.) In the twisted alternate reality my own brain, putting nonsense lyrics on top of already successful EDM tracks equal the biggest pop songs of the year. In the real world they exist in an aesthetic no man's land; not pop enough to be truly Pop, not original enough to be critically praised. I feel like this is simply every ele's loss. There's some cool sounds coming out of EDM, but it's not enough to hold my attention since I don't go to clubs and I've never done Ecstasy. Maybe this is my loss, but I'm not about to start. What, I'm a walking question mark that can go in any direction at any time? No. There's gotta be a topline to actually listen to.
Not doing a best of videos this year. Got over a hundred in my Watch Later queue, and prefer to dole them out in a non-linear fashion on tumblr anyway. I do have a public playlist of J-pop/rock vids that I've been adding to for a while, but I haven't kept track of what came out this year.
The Other List
Alto! | S/t
Just a cool instrumental post-rock album I heard on Jon Solomon's show and it came out on his label. Might've forgot about it otherwise. It's kinda like King Crimson x krautrock. Not gonna change your life but if you are ordering other stuff from there which you should of course it's a great add-on. Oh, you can d/l it free on bandcamp, sure you can do that too. I'm not telling you how to live.
Anaal Nathrakh | Desideratum
This band started out as one of the the most extreme bands ever and just when you think they can't get any more extreme…they don't actually. Kinda plateaus. I happen to like this kind of plateau but it is what it is. Actually I think they peaked on 2004's Domine Non Es Dignus, when they were going back-and-forth with some clean Power Viking Chorus Metal vocals. Now that was crazy. There was some kind of contrast.
And yo, I did not hear this other album that came out this year also call Desideratum, but I gotta mention it, cause even the covers are similar in the same half-assed way. Really guys? Metal community? Gotta do better than this.
The Austerity Program | Beyond Calculation
I like this band but the thing with the no song names is too much for me, or rather, not enough. Also, if you put this on your list the same year a Shellac album came out but didn't include the Shellac kiiiinda fuck yourself?
Nader Sadek | The Malefic: Chapter III
So this art project is a really real death metal band now, with some awesome players, and I got it for free with my Decibel sub. Not much to complain about, sounds great, hits the perfect sweet spot of how this music should sound, even Flo Mounier on drums! Can't really stand post-Lord Word Cryptopsy, so that is great to hear. The songs just didn't stick for me so not many spins. Hold on, is there another way for people to get this thing? I'm just going to link to the guy's website and it has to turn up there eventually.
The Roots | …And Then You Shoot Your Cousin
I had this theory that my life started going off track when I stopped buying Roots albums as they came out. This album doesn't help and I'm pretty sure now it's a coincidence. But if you have any interest in making music with some kind of integrity and also be a success and you don't pay attention to the Roots you're dumb. I literally feel stupid because this album is so high-minded I don't even get it as a long term fan. All you have to do is play live five nights a week on national TV and you can make whatever album you want.
Run the Jewels | RTJ2
I was late really getting into the first one, which I listened to a lot this year until this one came out; it didn't really hit me the same way. People thought it was better or more extreme…there was more jokes if anything. I'm not putting it down cause this is a great group, it just didn't top one for me.
Charisma.com | DIStopping
This group came out kinda like they were the anti-Halcali: they write and produce their own tunes and actually know something about music. I love Halcali but they went off the rails when they lost their producers. Anyway, on this album they do a ballad. Halcali ballads are sweet. Those girls are sweet. These girls are not sweet, it's kinda the whole concept. So it's obviously forced. There's some good tunes, but that threw the record for me. Like they really are not in control of the thing which is a shame.
Judas Priest | Redeemer of Souls
Maybe this could've bumped Marty Friedman off the top 10 if I got to it before this week. Nah, what am I thinking…Marty? I think it might be better than the Marty record in fact. But I've never been a proper Priest fan. I know all those old records are good, but I haven't got most of 'em. I watched the Anvil movie from Netflix this year finally and it was cool, I respect those guys on some level, but they overhyped them being influential, I thought. People who were never really in bands seem to be inspired by it because they could see themselves being one of those dudes, I was a little scared cause I could see myself being one of those dudes. I love playing music, but I would rather listen to Priest and have some other decent job than play in a band that is almost not quite nearly as good as Priest and work endless shit jobs. I mean for 30 years? Do people not in bands realize how many times you have to hear your own songs as you play them? Lotta ear time.
Merkebah | Moloch
I instantly thought of this as a top 10er upon first listen, forgetting at least that many good records had come out already. I do not remember how I heard of this, maybe just the name of the album caught me because I used to be obsessed with Ginsberg's Howl. There's also (probably several) bands named Moloch, but that seemed to be pushing it too far. An album about Moloch on the other hand is something I can get behind. Even better, it's instrumental metal with a sax. Maybe my favorite example yet as far as the playing of the instrument. There's no sense of novelty about it, there's serious playing here. And there's actually a sense of swing to the music.
Jute Gyte | Vast Chains
Oh man, this is some creepy shit. So many metal albums come out in a year, and this did not even make my listening list because I only listened to it once on my laptop way in the beginning of the year, but once was enough to remember it and that alone should say something. This is some Grade A Bad Mood Sonic Youth atonal dissonance with a Satanic twist to it; it's really unfortunate they don't have a name people can remember, that's the only tough part. Most bands this far off normal notes and scales either don't really know what they are doing, are joking, or doing some kind of chaotic jamming thing. And it's usually a lo-fi affair. I'm not sure what "it" is for these guys and I don't wanna know, but these guys mean it and every part is clearly composed and recorded. Now I feel like a wimp for not putting in the top 10, right? But I'm really only listening to it for a second time right now. That's really gotta be taken into effect for a personal list.
Also there was the Shonen Knife album I already wrote about.
And I have to mention the Relapse Sampler so I can cross it off my to-do list. Had to give this a close listen just to make sure I wasn't stupidly missing something great (at least that was on Relapse), but I really think Tombs is the best thing they put out this year.
Old Records
Black Sabbath | Complete Albums Box (1970-1978)
Holy shit, I listened the hell of of this. Never paid much attention past the first four, which I did not have full copies of.
Bottomless Pit | [all of them]
I don't feel like I'm qualified to write about this band. This should be every smart person's favorite band. I mean smarter than me. If they were really smart I guess they would already be listening to them, so those are the smartest people but I mean, there's gotta be a lot of people in the smarter than me, not as smart as those people range. And it's not like a requirement. It's not exactly Stockhausen. It's not difficult music, it's a rock band.
OOIOO | Gamel
I guess the American release came out this year so it's on some lists now, but it's over a year old in Japan. Really need to talk about this one in depth because of the tuning implications. Before the world melts or explodes or we all kill each other.
Japan-related Disappointments (Non-political)
New FLiP but it's boring
Kyary & Perfume Singing in English doesn't quite work (yet?)
New Perfume Singles were kinda weak
tricot lost their drummer and is corny now
Sugar's Campaign full album is…I dunno yet.
Still really expensive to get there; far away
I think things will work out. Before, you know. Ultimately.
That was kinda of a downer to end with how about Best Live Shows
