Jake and the Neverland Pirates
Had to do a couple of redesign before getting this final look for Riley's Cake. Going into the details of the cake. I was a little nervous making Captain hook. I definitely thought that he was going to be a challenge but I really did enjoy making him. Jake on the other hand was the bigger challenge to me…I dont think he looks exactly like Jake but my son saw mommy's birthday cake (thats what he calls it) and said look it's jake. So i guess i passed the test. Bottom tier is Chocolate Banana Cake filled with Chocolate frosting, covered in ganache and fondant. Top tier is actually the twist. Initially not planned to have a 2nd tier but I felt that the cake needed more dimension so i just added the square dummy covered in gumpaste. :)

Improving CE with PDM
Wognum, P.M. (Nel) and Bondarouk, T.V. (Tanya) (2003) Improving CE with PDM. In: 9th International Conference on Concurrent Enterprising, ICE 2003, 16-18 June 2003, Espoo, Finland (pp. pp. 65-72).
55kB |
Abstract: | The concept of Concurrent Engineering (CE) centers around the management of information so that the right information will be at the right place at the right time and in the right format. Product Data Management (PDM) aims to support a CE way of working in product development processes. In specific situations, however, it is hard to estimate the contribution of a particular PDM package to CE. This paper presents a method to assess the contribution to CE of a PDM package in a specific situation. The method uses the concept of information quality to identify the gap with CE information quality requirements. The contribution of PDM to bridge this gap is estimated. Decisions on improvement actions are supported to improve readiness for PDM as well as to improve CE. The method has been tested in a real-life situation. |

Use Java hashtables to emulate an SAP table
Here's how to translate JCo specific table returns into the more generic Java Hashtable.
Although JCo solves the larger problem of connectivity into SAP, it still relies on a fairly specific understanding of R/3 table structures. As an SAP/Java developer, part of your task is to allow non-SAP Java developers to develop applications using your Java libraries easily. One of the simplest ways to do this is to translate JCo specific table returns into the more generic Java Hashtable.

In Java, Hashtables offer an easy mechanism for storing key/value pairs in an array-style structure. Moreover, Hashtables can be nested in other Hashtables, allowing multiple "rows" of data to be stored in a single Hashtable.
The following code retrieves all the field names and field values from a JCo table. These field name/value pairs are stored as key/value pairs in a Hashtable. When the end of a row is reached, that Hashtable is stored into a higher-level Hashtable, which acts as the table container.
JCO.Table materials = function.getTableParameterList().getTable("MATNRLIST"); Hashtable returnHash = new Hashtable(); Hashtable rowHash = new Hashtable(); int i = 0; if (materials.getNumRows() > 0) { do { for (JCO.FieldIterator fI = materials.fields(); fI.hasMoreElements();) { JCO.Field tabField = fI.nextField(); rowHash.put(tabField.getName(),tabField.getString()); } returnHash.put("line" + i, rowHash); rowHash = new Hashtable(); i++; } while(materials.nextRow() == true); } else { System.out.println("No materials."); }
In this code, you create two Hashtables. returnHash is the table container and rowHash is a temporary Hashtable that will maintain a row before it is stored in returnHash.
The if statement checks whether any rows have been return in the MATNRLIST table then executes a do loop. This loop retrieves the fields in a JCo FieldIterator and puts the field name and value into the temporary rowHash Hashtable.
Finally, this temporary Hashtable is stored in the returnHash container using an incremented value as the line number. When the loops have exited you end up with a fully populated table container maintaining a series of Hashtable rows.
To get at that data use the following code:
int i = 0; String field; int maxValue = rowHash.size(); while (i < maxValue) { rowHash = (Hashtable)returnHash.get("line" + i); for (Enumeration e = rowHash.keys(); e.hasMoreElements();) { field = (String)e.nextElement(); out.println(field + ": " + (String)rowHash.get(field)); } i++ }

If you want to increase the amount of tango dances and tango partners you have when you visit Buenos Aires, learn to dance swing and cumbia. Many milongas include break tandas of swing and tropical (Latin) dancing. Swing has long been popular in Argentina and other Latin countries. It began in America (in black communities, as tango did) but it has universal appeal, and at the milongas which feature it you may see some of the best swing dancing in the world. "Tropical" includes most of the Latin dances but the word usually excludes salsa, which is popular enough in Argentina that it is referred to by name and not "tropical" and has its own "milongas." Cumbia is a sort of slow salsa with different instruments for those of you who know salsa. Be warned about requesting or doing cumbias in milongas. Class consciousness is as prevalent in Argentina as elsewhere, and the middle and upper class there (or those with pretensions to it) look down on cumbia as a low-class dance. But some of the music is quite lovely and the dance is leisurely and (I think elegantly) simple, so you can pick it up quickly. And it is quite popular in some milongas. If you do salsa/mambo try slowing it down and you will be fine. But hold off the fancier moves until you see what others are doing, and try moving smoothly rather than with a bounce. Want to hear some cumbia music? Go to YouTube and search for Fito Olivares. Or for "baila esta cumbia" (with the quote marks), which will bring up several songs by the Tejana singer Selena whose all-too-short life was made into a movie starring Jennifer Lopez. Larry de Los Angeles
There were 116 milongas listed in the web site I consulted a couple of months ago when I started to plan to return to Argentina next April (and I hope May). Each one is different depending on the organizers and DJs and night of the week (or weekend). Not all of them have non-tango tandas, and not all of them feature tropical. Salon Reduci is where I first saw a cumbia in Buenos Aires. This is south and west of San Telmo barrio. The flavor seemed to be of mostly older couples many of whom knew each other for a long time. Niño Bien is where I saw the swing dancing. It's a huge place and seems to draw everyone of all ages and backgrounds. It was awesome to see literally hundreds of people dancing swing, like something out of the Benny Goodman era. But the music was from a later time, and included Rock Around the Clock, and Blue Suede Shoes. Armenia the night I went was split half-and-half with recorded rock music and a band dressed like and playing Beatles music, and tango DJd music the other half. It was absolutely packed and was mostly a 20s and 30s crowd. lo de Celia also played tropical including cumbia but also a rumba. A young woman asked me to dance (verbally, not with the traditional cabeceo). She told me she lived a couple of blocks away and always came to this milonga, but only for the tropical, not the tango. She made a date with me to go the next night with a couple of lady friends to another milonga, which I was happy to agree to and had a good time as their sort-of fallback partner when no one else asked them to dance. (I was not neglected, however, meeting a trio of Canadian women who also saw me as a safe non-intimidating Argentine.) Larry de Los Angeles
Hi Larry, the pieces you suggested have a fast beat and they are only a little bit slower than LA- or NY-style tunes. What is the difference to normal rural salsa ?
Larry, thanks for the thread. I have in previous threads talked about the Argentines' love for amer swing and salsa (b/c these were what I taught when I was there to support my AT education). Some very typical, and very often played, cumbias. iTunes or someone will have them for you to listen to. Juana la Cubana Cumbia des los Pajaitos El Cafetero El Negro Jose
oh shame on me and my ignorance: I found a lot information on youtube, thanks! And now I think, cumbia is no salsa style, it´s something special.
Actually, Cumbia " breaks" are used in Salsa, but other than that, the music is a separate category from the NYC. P.Rican and Cuban based style of music usually assoc. with Mambo/ Salsa . Sometimes, in latino clubs, Cumbias are played, and many cannot distinguish it from Salsa... its " pulse " rhythm is quite distinctive, and the rhythm appears quite regularly, in Colombian style salsa music, ... Popular, as a dance, with Colombians and Dominicans, altho its origins are Colombia via Africa ( as are most latin based rhythms ) .And yes, the tempo can vary greatly .
Hi tt, you wrote I read in wiki, that the break (el rebote) is on 3. Is it right? .. they have a clave and they break on 2, like ball-room rumba. Sorry, I learned Salsa only for a couple of months and then I changed to TA. But my salsa teacher at that time, an early student of Jonny Vazquez, told me, that all styles of central america and the west coast region are quite similar, and that there is no distinction between salsa and cumbia. That was the origin of my term "rural salsa", which was not meant pejoratively. greetings

That is the origin of my term "rural salsa", which was not meant pejoratively. greetings
The break timing is a syncop bar, danced,, 1 and 2.. 3 and 4, similar to 5th position breaks . " Styles " can be dance and or music, so i dont know what his reference was, but... dance wise, they look and are different, and musically speaking, there is a huge difference between Salsa and Cumbia . By "rural " I might assume he means more " folk " style than current trends, and that is quite possibly true, but in todays context, the dances have been defined in a new paradigm that fits the current musical trends . One also has to mention, that Cumbia is danced in Mexico and is as prevalent there as is Salsa elsewhere. A further point of interest, one of the early forms of " Son " rhythm in Mexico, was played in strict 4/6 timing and was popularised in the Fed. district of Jalisco. "Son" being another " root " along with the clave ,of mambo/salsa . So.. he is right about connections.. but not about the divergence being the same .
I suspect you are mis-quoting the teacher, but he may have not been as knowledgeable as we could wish. Certainly all Latin dances influence each other, but to those who spend a lot of time on each they are distinct. Incidentally, cumbia is not only influenced by (and influences) other Latin dances, but the dance has been influenced by rock'n'roll, especially in Mexico, and some cumbia dance groups do a hip-hop version. And the music has been influenced by other genres. There is, for instance, an Argentine cumbia variant that makes heavy use of electronic sounds. If you visit or live in Argentina there is a music club in Palermo called Zivek that is something of a center for this music. The most obvious difference is that salsa/mambo music is medium- to very-fast, cumbia is slow. The two examples I suggested people search for on YouTube both have a major beat on each second and a minor beat between. This leads to a very leisurely dance tempo, suitable to the more elderly and none-too-slim tango dancers at milongas who are the ones who most often fancy cumbia. And it is the tango dancers that this thread is concerned with. Discussion of Latin dances more properly belongs in that forum. Larry de Los Angeles

Loggers accidentally cut down oldest tree —
This week, hundreds of thousands of people shared a story from fake news site World News Daily claiming that loggers had accidentally cut down the world's oldest tree in the Amazon forest. The tree was said to have been a giant Samauma tree over 5,800 years old and 40 meters tall (130 ft). As with everything published by World News Daily, the story was not true. Nevertheless, it certainly sounded plausible to a lot of people who expressed their outrage on social media.

Terror in Mammoth, Arizona —
People in the small town of Mammoth, Arizona were puzzled when, earlier this week, they started to receive calls asking about the outbreak of a deadly, infectious disease — a disease that supposedly caused hemorrhagic bleeding and violent behavior. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary was happening in Mammoth, so why all the calls?
It turns out the calls were inspired by a fictional story titled "WTF is going on in Pinal county, Arizona??" posted on the reddit community "No Sleep." The 'No Sleep' subreddit is a place where people share fictional horror stories and then post…

All ads, all the time —
At Web Summit in Dublin, two social-media strategists started pitching a new startup called VelloBook, which they described as the "world's first ad-only social media network. Giving people the power to share ads." They also created a Twitter feed, @VelloBook. But after they started getting a lot of requests for meetings, they realized that they needed to make it clearer that this was a "fake startup" — a joke! I predict that it's a joke that will one day soon become reality. [independent.ie]

Alex from Target: hoax or the real deal? —
"Alex from Target" is the latest instant celebrity of the Internet age. He's a teenager who works at Target in Texas, and his real name is Alex LaBeouf. It's not entirely clear who took his picture as he was bagging groceries at Target, but a week ago a teen girl in London (Twitter user @auscalum) shared his picture on Twitter, captioning it, "YOOOOOOOOOO." Viral fame soon followed, because millions of other teen girls apparently couldn't get enough of how adorable Alex from Target was.
But was Alex's cuteness the only reason for his sudden fame? Maybe not.

October snow in New Jersey? —
An article headlined "Large snowstorm could slam N.J. next week" recently went viral on Facebook, gaining thousands of shares and causing many people to express concern. The post linked to an article on the site of the New Jersey Star-Ledger, which was a legitimate article. But it had been written 18 months ago in March 2013.
When the Star Ledger realized that people were mistaking the article for a current weather forecast, they posted an editor's note at the top of it, pointing out that it was an old article. But this made no difference, because people on Facebook were generally…

Emergent —
An article in the NY Times briefly profiles Emergent, a new website created by Craig Silverman which aims to track the dissemination of rumors online. It records how many shares a rumor has received, and also assesses whether the rumor is true, false, or unverified. Looks like a very useful site!
The NY Times article notes that the problem with false rumors is that "they're often much more interesting than the truth." Therefore, they get more widely shared. The challenge, says the Times, "is to make the facts as fun to share as the myths they seek to replace." Nice goal, but I don't see it ever happening. The false rumors can endlessly transform themselves to appeal to our deepest hopes and fears. Whereas the facts always have to remain boringly factual.

Fake News Hoax: Zimmerman Arrested in Ferguson —
The latest fake news story gone viral on social media is the claim that George Zimmerman (who shot Trayvon Martin back in 2012) was recently arrested in Ferguson after following two black teenagers out of a Dunkin Donuts and then aiming a handgun at them when they confronted him. The story originated with fake news site National Report. It's completely bogus. [hoax-slayer]

Facebook debuts satire tag —
Facebook is debuting a "satire" tag to identify articles that are intended as parody. Although the tag currently only appears in lists of "Related Articles". So articles from The Onion will now get flagged as satire, as well as articles from some other fake news sites (though Facebook isn't revealing exactly which sites it tags and which it doesn't). Seems like a good idea. Actually, they should have done this a long time ago. Because although one might argue that people should be able to recognize satire on their own, in practice a lot of them don't. [ajc.com]

Of course, triceratops have been extinct for millions of years. Spielberg was posing next to a movie prop from Jurassic Park, not an actual animal. Branscomb intended his post as a joke, alluding to the ongoing brouhaha about Kendall Jones, the 19-year-old cheerleader who likes hunting big…

1500 euro to host a Ukrainian girl —
Italian social media is all abuzz with the news that the European Commission is offering to pay any EU family 1500 euro a month to host a political refugee from Ukraine — but particularly to host young Ukrainian women "who have always been discriminated against for trivial reasons." In response, many men are taking to Twitter/Facebook and are selflessly offering to host a young Ukrainian woman without receiving any compensation at all!
Unfortunately the offer isn't real. The story comes from an Italian fake news site: Giornale del Corriere. [via blog sicilia]

Tunnel beneath the Strait of Messina (an Italian hoax) —
Italian social media was buzzing recently with word of the discovery of a narrow tunnel, over 2000 years old, running beneath the Strait of Messina (the body of water between the mainland of Italy and Sicily).
The tunnel was believed to have been built by the Romans during the Punic wars (264-241 BC) as a passageway for troops. It was discovered by workers doing construction on a highway.
But the story turns out to have come from an Italian fake news site called Dangerous News. One…

Dead Dog Hoax —
One of the easiest ways to attract attention online is to claim to have done something shocking or disturbing. It's also known as trolling. A case in point is a young woman (using the twitter account @illumivato) who recently claimed that she killed her dog because the British pop group One Direction wouldn't follow her on Twitter.
She first sent them a tweet asking them to follow her "or I'll break my dog's neck." Then, when they inevitably ignored her, she followed this up with a…

On Monday, The Pirate Bay issued a press release on its blog announcing that it was moving to North Korea:
The Pirate Bay has been hunted in many countries around the world. Not for illegal activities but being persecuted for beliefs of freedom of information. Today, a new chapter is written in the history of the movement, as well as the history of the internets...
Today we can reveal that we…

104-year-old woman forced to lie about age on Facebook —
On the internet nobody knows if you're a dog. And on Facebook, nobody knows if you're really a 104-year-old woman... because Facebook won't accept 104 as a valid age!
Woman, 104, forced to lie about age on Facebook
Marguerite Joseph can be forgiven for lying about her age on Facebook. The 104-year-old Michigan woman's granddaughter says Joseph is unable to list her real age on the social media site. Gail Marlow says when she tries inputting her grandmother's birth year…

Bill Gates Money Giveaway —
Below is a picture of Bill Gates that's been circulating on Facebook. Can anyone really believe they'll get $5000 if they share the photo? Or is it being shared as a joke? Since I'm feeling charitable, I'll believe the latter.
The picture is a doctored version of a picture posted by Gates during a recent AMA on reddit. Note that in addition to changing the sign he's holding, the reddit toy on the desk behind him has been replaced by what looks like a sex toy. (via David Emery)

Fake news already spreading about Dorner shootout —
Hey, did you hear that Christopher Dorner somehow survived yesterday's shootout? Yeah, apparently the charred remains inside the cabin have been identified as female, not male! No credible news sources are reporting this, but there's a blurry TV screenshot of a CNN newscast circulating on twitter & facebook that says it, so it must be true!

Ipswich City councillor Andrew Antoniolli posted on facebook that this would be the new sign at the Ipswich Mall — warning people, in a visually economical way, of all the things they couldn't do there. A local radio station believed him, but it was actually just a joke image downloaded from the internet. No idea what the original source of the image was.

Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
Don't know what happen to this guy but your see two different sides of him, one when you hire him and the other when you try to ask anything more. There's a lot better out there with you the client in mind to have to put up with his demeanor.
Any contact beyond you signing the retainer documents irate him and he becomes degrading. He is happy only twice, when you sign him and when he takes his cut. I was warned not to go with an attorney near retirement or coming out of retirement. Prime example of one that could care less about the firm 5 years from now. Its not what he can do for you but what you can do for him.
I've been very satisfied Evohl Malagon is my attorney! I'm glad he's on my side :)

Backstrom undergoes sports hernia surgery
MAY 16, 2013 11:03a ET
Backstrom, who tied for the league lead with 24 wins in the regular season, missed the entire playoffs after coming up with an injury in the pregame warmups of Minnesota's first-round playoff series against the Chicago Blackhawks. Backstrom had tried to return with the injury and practiced with the team, but he was unable to play again.
The Wild announced that the surgery, performed by Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia, was successful and Backstrom is expected to make a full recovery in time for the 2013-14 season.
Backup goalie Josh Harding started each game of the playoffs in Minnesota's 4-1 series loss to Chicago. Backstrom was 24-15-3 during the regular season with a 2.48 goalsagainst average and .909 save percentage. He started 26 of the team's final 27 games as the Wild looked to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
"It's tough when you find out about it, but you try to find a different place to get back there as soon as possible," Backstrom said. "And I think mentally it's good for you to work on your rehab so you don't think too much about missing the game and you can't be with the guys out on the ice. For me it was more to focus on the rehab and try to get back on the ice and make sure that if things work out I could be playing with a good level and help the team."
Backstrom, 35, is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though both sides have said they're open to a return.
Backstrom said it will be the first time he will go through recovery from a sports hernia surgery. He felt the large workload helped him during the season and that he will return next season and be ready to play 60-plus games.
"I think I proved that this year with the schedule," Backstrom said. "I felt good the whole year. It's fun to play. I think for me it's always been easier the more I play and get out there. When it's fun, it's easy."

The Heike lab conducts innovative research on questions related to craniofacial microsomia , 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and other craniofacial conditions.
The lab aims to unravel the causes of these conditions, develop new evaluation tools and assess treatment outcomes. Ultimately, we aim to improve care for children with conditions that affect the head and neck.
The lab's current research includes projects to establish a network of medical centers to study craniofacial microsomia, create new techniques using 3-D images to quantify craniofacial variation and develop standardized descriptions for typical and atypical facial phenotypes, or physical characteristics.
To conduct this critical work, the lab collaborates closely with other experts in Seattle Children's Craniofacial Center and the Craniofacial Outcomes Research and Epidemiology (CORE) Group , in addition to national and international collaborators. This team approach enables researchers to draw on a variety of methods and perspectives, accelerating progress toward the development of techniques that could improve the lives of children worldwide.
Carrie L. Heike, MD, MS, is an attending physician at Seattle Children's Hospital and an assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She was trained at the University of Washington School of Medicine and completed her clinical fellowship in Seattle Children's Craniofacial Center in 2006.

Electric vehicles are a potentially significant route towards low-carbon transport but widespread adoption of e-mobility will lead to greater consumption of electricity. Existing electricity systems will need to be reconfigured to meet these needs if reliance on fossil fuels is not to increase.

Where do you go when you need help from a company? For instance a widget is broken or a site isn't doing what you want it to, or you just need help with any number of things. More often than not, your desire for information leads you to Google where you type in your query and you get a support center. A great support center is where your customers can go to find answers to commonly asked questions and if it's done well it should be packed with useful information. If you set it up right and take the time to customize it, your support center can also be a seamless extension of your brand.
As part of Desk.com's Customer WOW team, I spend a lot of time with customers advising them on support strategy and helping them get their support center up and looking good.

I picked up a bag of dog food last weekend at Petco for 14.99 plus tax. Two days later I found the same bag at Target for 7.49. My point: 17% off this baconnaise will still cost you more than normal stores. Its still better than Petsmart: )
Yes, try Walley Mart first before heading to Petsmart and Petco for your Pet food and supplies.
but u can only find bandana for your elderly pet at these stores. i suggest euthenasia.
This is photo shopped, Beagles are scared shitless of all cats.

Hassan, David and O'Kane, Philip (2012) Terrorism and the abnormality of sport in Northern Ireland. International Review for the Sociology of Sport, 47 (3). pp. 397-413. [Journal article]

This article examines the rationale for the limited use of sport by a range of paramilitary rganizations in Northern Ireland to supplement their wider political and ideological aspirations. In any divided society all aspects of life are recruited to reveal and occasionally contribute to this separation and periodically, when seeking to attack or undermine 'the other', their sporting pursuits and interests become part of any military offensive. Whilst it is wrong to suggest that sport was a consistent or substantial factor in the ethno-sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland, which unfolded over the latter part of the 20th century, it was used in a strategic manner by terror organizations and thus its deployment was rarely ill-conceived even if the outcomes of their actions were almost always unjustifiable and, ultimately, futile.

Those who knew Saradha Group head Sudipta Sen remember him as a non-descript man with a gift of the gab that helped him rise from real estate manager to cash king.
The story goes that late one night a few years ago, Sudipta Sen was in the mood for hilsa. He drove down to Diamond Harbour in his SUV and had fishermen haul him a fresh catch. Then Sen woke up the owner of a wayside restaurant and got him to cook the fish, a meal he relished on the drive back to his 1, 800 sq ft Salt Lake home. "He is known to be whimsical and never hesitates to spend freely if something catches his fancy, " says Sen's former employee. While his staff swap stories about his self-indulgent nature, Sen prepares for a changed pace of life - in jail. On April 22, the chairman and managing director of the Kolkata-based Saradha Group was arrested in Kashmir, to where he had fled after panicked investors took to the streets demanding their money back from his collective investment schemes. Reportedly, Rs 2, 000 crore of depositors' money is tied up in these schemes. Given the staggering figure, it's hard to believe that until 15 years ago, Sen had little to show for himself. He started out as the manager of Saradha Gardens, a 15-bigha residential estate in Joka, 20 km southwest of Kolkata. On January 29, 1999, Biswanath Adhikari, a partner in the project, was shot dead by hired gunmen and soon after, the firm's other partners left under mysterious circumstances. Overnight, Sen became owner of Saradha Gardens, a prime asset he uses as collateral for his investment schemes today. Old residents of Saradha Gardens recall Sen being a brash man. "When we tried to form a residents' association, Sudipta barged into our meeting and threatened us in abusive language, " says one resident.
In 2001, Sen floated a company called Saradha Construction, bought plots of land across Bengal for housing projects and even initiated construction work. But returns from the real estate business were not fast enough or good enough for Sen, who wanted to get rich quick. According to the 18-page letter dated April 6 Sen wrote to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), details of which have been made public, it was in 2008 that he floated Saradha Realty, through which he ran the collective investment schemes. Targeted at lower and middle-class people, the schemes offered ludicrously high rates of returns on money deposited - an investment of Rs 30, 000, for instance, yielded Rs two lakh in just two years. Sen also offered high commissions to his one lakh agents.
For a few years, depositors received the promised returns, as Sen recycled money from new depositors. People felt encouraged to reinvest higher amounts and new investors came in. From the money collected, Sen purchased properties in Noida, Haridwar and Kolkata. He also floated over 100 companies with dummy shareholders and directors to channel the depositors' money. Reportedly, he also opened companies abroad, in South Africa and Spain. The political support Sen needed to protect his fraudulent activities was achieved through his media business. In 2009, he set up the Bengali news channel Channel 10 and by 2010, expanded to daily newspapers Bengal Post and Sakalbela. He also bought Tara News and Tara Muzik. At its peak, the group owned 10 media outfits, all of which supported the ruling Trinamool Congress. (TMC Rajya Sabha MP Kunal Ghosh is reportedly Saradha Group's media CEO. ) But sustaining operations was expensive and by March, first the newspapers and then the TV channels were abruptly closed. The first sign of trouble, however, came mid-2012 when collection agents reported declining interest in the schemes. To restore investor confidence, Sen purchased 100 SUVs, mostly Scorpios and Xylos, and gave them to his agents to drive around in, thereby impressing potential investors. The ploy failed and by January 2013 the company began defaulting on repayments. Bishwanath Haldar, a grocery store owner from Barasat, 18 km north of Kolkata, invested Rs 2 lakh in 2012, was promised Rs 4. 5 lakh after two years and a monthly dividend of Rs 2, 000. "I got the monthly dividends for eight months, till January, " he says. "Now I have lost all my money. "
Soon after the savings schemes went bust, it became apparent there was very little information about the man at the helm of things. Those who worked with Sen say he was a secretive man. "He never engaged in small talk, even with his top executives, " says a source, adding that he refused to be photographed and discouraged personal queries. Sen is rumoured to have been married twice and to have a child from each marriage - son Subhojit, 30, from his first wife and daughter Priyanka, in her mid-20 s, from current wife Madhumita. But his closest confidante is Debjani Mukherjee, 27, who joined Saradha Tours and Travels as a receptionist in 2008 and was promoted to director of the Saradha Group within months. Debjani is the daughter of Timir Baran Mukherjee who, back in the '90s, used his clout with local CPM leaders to keep Sen's name out of the Adhikari murder investigation. Reportedly, Debjani shares Sen's large office, and sits with him on the same side of the table. His constant travel companion, they were together when arrested on April 22.
A man who prefers simple, nondescript clothes, Sen spent long days at the office. He is scared of flying and prefers travelling long distances in his SUV. "He is hardly impressive at first sight and is weak in English, preferring to speak in Bangla, " says a source. "But once he starts talking, he comes across as street-smart. "
It's this glib side that Sen will have to rely on to talk his way out of his current predicament. In his letter to the CBI, Sen has named politicians, journalists and lawyers who reportedly benefitted from his schemes. Threatening suicide because he feels "helpless because of unscrupulous cheats" who have collected money in his name, Sen says he can't live in a society which has labelled him a fraud. But judging by the mounting evidence, he might have to.

Pinder's Code Red 2.0 and we couldn't agree more with what they had to say: "Mellow hip-hop that goes for poignancy over power tripping (and succeeds), Pinder's well-crafted lyricism is on fine display in 'Upside Down'." J. Pinder is quickly making a name for himself with his honest delivery and intelligent poetry. Couple that with the stellar production on Code Red 2.0 and we have a star in the making! With a tour and festival appearances in the works for this summer, expect to hear a lot more from J. Pinder. If you haven't heard the new album, want to talk with Mr. Pinder or need anything at all, don't hesitate to ask!

"Seattle, Washington is often overlooked as a hip-hop hub, but the city is teeming with talent that is slowly getting the respect it deserves. An emcee reppin' the Northwest city that you should keep an eye on is J.Pinder." Okay Player
There are few things as captivating as the fire of a brilliantly talented and determined artist. Justin Allen Pinder, known by his widespread fanbase as J. Pinder, is blazing his trail to the spotlight. He first captured the attention of hip-hop fans with the release of his debut mixtape, Backpack Wax, produced by the legendary Vitamin D and nabbed the attention of national audiences on his guest mc spot on Jake One's White Van Music (Rhymesayers Ent.) on the song "Big Homie Style". Through strong, focused work and a constant effort to learn from local legends, J. Pinder quickly connected with some of the Pacific Northwest's most respected producers, such as DJ Vitamin D, Jake One, and Kuddie Fresh for his newest release, Code Red 2.0.
Lyrically, J. Pinder doesn't clutter his songs with wasted syllables. Instead, he earns respect of fans and press alike with his honest delivery, abstract poetry and intelligent poignancy! Couple that with supreme production and the tracks on Code Red 2.0 positively smoke... Guest appearances from Rapper Big Pooh (Little Brother), Toki Wright (Rhymesayers), and Guilty Simpson (Stones Throw) add evidence how far and wide his name is becoming recognized in hip hop circles.
His newest songs waiver from the raw, honesty of "Three Words", to the mellow-vibed echoing sample of "Upside Down" straight through to the sheer, bold ambition of "Go Far". Every last song is rife with J. Pinder's genius ability to imbue everything he touches with genuine personality and his lean, less-is-more take on lyricism. Code Red 2.0, presented by The Hall of Justus and The Arc Mg, officially sets a new high-water mark for J. Pinder!

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis says Michael Owen signed knowing he had to fight for a first team place.
Pulis is angry at rumours suggesting the former Liverpool and Manchester United man only joined the club to get a certain spot in the first XI.
He rapped: "I've read all sorts of stuff, and apparently he only signed for us because I guaranteed him he would start every time he was fit.
"We just don't work like that at this football club.
"If they found that was true, I would have to pack my bags and leave, if I had promised someone he was going to play every week."
But Pulis added: "Michael's got a fantastic attitude.
"I don't think it'll be long until he gets in the team, if he keeps performing as he is in training."
