Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna" src="http://www1.india-forums.com/bollywood/images/uploads/akki_family_1.jpg" align="right" border="" hspace="5" vspace="5"> Mumbai, Aug 16 (IANS) After shooting non-stop for 'Chandni Chowk to China' and 'Kambakht Ishq' and delivering a hit in 'Singh Is Kinng', Bollywood's current flavour Akshay Kumar has packed his bags and left for Monte Carlo for a family holiday.
'I think I've earned my holiday. I was so nervous and tense before the release that I couldn't sleep,' Akshay told IANS before leaving for Monaco.
It's been a hectic month for the star. After his big release, he was ready for a holiday with wife Twinkle and son Aarav in Monte Carlo, but the visa didn't materialise. So he left for a weekend in Goa, returned to Mumbai Monday evening to celebrate the success of 'Singh Is Kinng' with producer Vipul Shah and director Anees Bazmi and left the same night for Monte Carlo.
'Every time a release is around the corner, I put the desktop globe in front of my wife and tell her to pick a destination for a holiday. I told my wife that if my new film was a hit, I'll take her to Monte Carlo. If it doesn't work, we'll have to do with Mahabaleshwar,' he joked.
The actor saw the film with his son, but the young boy missed the climax of his dad's new blockbuster.
'Aarav never stays up beyond 10.30 p.m. But he watched 'Singh Is Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna's son Aarav" src="http://www1.india-forums.com/bollywood/images/uploads/akki_family_2.jpg" align="left" border="" hspace="5" vspace="5">Kinng' till he could, almost till the end. Then the poor fellow couldn't stay awake. He fell asleep in my lap... doesn't matter. He'll have lots of occasions to catch up with the film later,' said Akshay.
The actor has many a reason to be happy and proud. Amitabh Bachchan, whom Akshay has described as the real king of Bollywood, has included the title song of 'Singh Is Kinng' in his repertoire for his ongoing Unforgettable concerts.
'I know about Amitji singing the 'Singh Is Kinng' song. It happened after the Toronto concert where I was on stage with the Bachchans.'
In the 30 years that the mega-star has been performing live, he has never jammed to another actor's song before.
'Really? That's what makes him the real king of Bollywood. All of us who came into the industry after Amitji have a lot to learn from him.'
When told about Akshay's praise, Amitabh said: 'Akshay is far too generous and kind. His current status is a remarkable lesson in hard work and self-improvement. To have done it under the extremely extenuating circumstances that he has faced is even more creditable.'
The Big B confirmed that the 'Singh Is Kinng' song is indeed part of his stage repertoire.
'Yes, when I'm jamming with the band on stage during our concerts one of the items I sing is 'Singh Is Kinng'. It's great fun.'

I love this dusty rose color much more than the white version. I really like the ruching at the top of this shirt. The center point of the V looks a little off but once that is fixed this will be a nice piece.

Cute but overly simple for the price.

ITS LIKE NOW installation, Artbox Lantern Gallery
50 portraits, 150 paintings and an 'animated painting'
The year-long Christchurch 'portrait' project began with the nationally touring 5 billboard and postcard exhibition, Wish You Were Here, seen in Auckland Wellington and now Christchurch. Its like now installation presents an incomplete portrait of some of the Christchurch arts community, warmly acknowledging the tireless, often faceless workers who make up this recovering city's creative arts community in a self-selecting, non-hierarchical, and entirely democratic collective portrait.
An invitation to submit a 30 second video 'selfie' was sent out to artists, writers, curators, museum directors, gallerists and gallery workers, paid and volunteer. The selfies ranged from the conceptual to the serious and playful, and provided engaging raw material for the work. Everyone who responded is represented.

Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.
Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market.
This phase II trial studies how well daunorubicin hydrochloride, cytarabine, and nilotinib work in treating patients newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as daunorubicin hydrochloride and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Nilotinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving daunorubicin hydrochloride with cytarabine and nilotinib may kill more cancer cells.

College to be four-storied structure spread over 25,694 sq.m with 500 beds
Outpatient ward with blood bank to have an additional 4,951 sq.m space
CHENNAI: The Villupuram Medical College will function from the next academic year, subject to mandatory clearances, Higher Education Minister K. Ponmudy said on Monday.
Of the three medical colleges announced in the last budget – Villupuram, Dharmapuri and Tiruvarur – work was progressing fast on the Villupuram college after "impediments in its path" were removed, Mr. Ponmudy said.
The government passed an order in August 2006 for setting up the medical college. Local Administration Minister M.K. Stalin laid the foundation stone in May 2007. A litigation held up construction. In December, bhoomi puja was performed for construction of the Rs.99-crore government medical college and hospital at Mundiambakkam near Villupuram.
As regards two other colleges, the Minister said he was satisfied with the progress of work. The Villupuram college would be a four-storied structure spread over 25,694 sq.m and would have 500 beds. The outpatient ward with a blood bank would have an additional 4,951 sq.m space. In the next phase, classrooms, an administrative building, an auditorium, hostels and quarters for doctors and nurses would be built.
Mr. Ponmudy told The Hindu that the motive behind setting up these medical colleges was to give a fillip to educational facilities there. "Of the six constituent colleges of Anna University, three are in Villupuram district – Panruti, Tindivanam and Villupuram. This is again a measure to take affordable professional education to the door step of the rural student."
Mr. Ponmudy said preliminary work on the Sivaganga and Perambalur medical colleges had also begun. Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi would lay the foundation for the Sivaganga Medical College on February 8.

My Rating
Great tour to get started on your trip to San Diego. The only thing we didn't like was the seating in the back 3 rows, where the windows were open and the wind coming through made the trip not enjoyable. Couldn't adjust the windows, but understand that it probably would have been too warm not to have some windows open. Maybe open only one side at back and then open others on the other side in front. I don't know if that would cut down on the wind coming through so fast. Great service and tour guides, very accommodating. We were on the tour and were waiting for the trolley at Balboa Park and they had to send in a relief bus since the first was full. We happened to mention to the driver that we were on our way back to the hotel (Bayfront Hilton), picking up our jackets and then on to Seaport Village for the SEAL Tour that we had already paid for. The driver, Ken, checked with the office to see if once he dropped off the other 4 riders, if he could drop us off at the hotel and then Seaport Village. He found out that due to a Padre's game that after noon and a big University graduation ceremony at the conference center next to our hotel, traffic was at a stand still. He said he could get us to the hotel in a round about way, but wouldn't be able to take us to Seaport Village. He did get us to the hotel and we saw some of the other town that we would have missed otherwise. My husband had sprained his ankle getting off the first trolley a couple of days before getting off a trolley and he couldn't walk long distances. We were lucky to find a pedicab right outside of the hotel and he got us to the SEAL Tour on time. Thanks Ken for being so nice. The other drivers, Capt Bob, Vidal and a couple that we can't remember their names were great!

08.07.05 - Both challengers on the Hennessy Sports Trailblazers event at the Nottingham Arena on Saturday night had to make two trips to the scales at the official weigh-in on Friday afternoon. Matthew Barney who takes on standout British and Commonwealth champion Carl Froch was the first to step on. The Southampton man came in a fraction over the 12 stone barrier, despite stripping completely off..
Thats was a bit unprofessional, Froch said afterwards, who scaled bang on the limit to a raucous reception. Plus he looked like something the cat dragged in.
Froch added: I dont like Barneys whole shape up around this fight. I think he is going to come and try and pickpocket a decision with his usual hit and run tactics.
If he does think that then he has another thing coming. I will just trap him in a corner or on the ropes and unleash hell.
Barneys second trip to the scales proved more successful, as did Andreas Kotelniks.
The Ukrainian who challenges European light welterweight champion Junior Witter was a pound and a half over the 10 stone limit at the first attempt.
Seeing that he struggled slightly to make the weight obviously makes me feel slightly more confident, said Witter, who also received massive cheers, afterwards.
But I am always confident, I am always comfortable with what I do. Come tomorrow night its my time to shine again.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - anthem4england.co.uk
As a Welshman it's not often that I support an English campaign. The cricket doesn't count - that's technically the England and Wales team that were decidedly average in the Caribbean.
But this one I am fully behind.
It has grated on the nerves of many when the England rugby and football teams line up and then the British national anthem is played. And it's not just the Welsh and the Scots - a huge number of the English want a truly patriotic song to belt out at Wembley and Twickenham.
So, to mark St George's Day I'm adding my voice to this campaign to get England it's own national anthem.
Sign up and let your voice be heard.

What was the Holy Place?
The Holy Place was one of the sacred rooms within the tabernacle. The tabernacle consisted of two divisions to which a graduated scale of holiness is attached: "The veil shall separate unto you between the holy place and the holy of holies (Exodus 26:33). This distinction was never abrogated. In the Epistle to the Hebrews these divisions are called the "first" and "second" tabernacles (Hebrews 9:6 f).
The term "holy place" is not indeed confined to the outer chamber of the sanctuary; in Leviticus 6:16 , it is applied to "the court of the tent of meeting." But the other is its technical use. In Solomon's temple we have a different usage. The word hēkhāl , "temple," is not at first applied, as after, to the whole building, but is the designation specifically of the holy place, in distinction from the debhı̄r , or "oracle" (compare 1 Kings 6:3 , 1 Kings 6:5 , 1 Kings 6:16 , 1 Kings 6:17 , 1 Kings 6:33 , etc.; so in Ezekiel 41:1 , Ezekiel 41:2 , Ezekiel 41:4 , etc.). The wider usage is later (compare 2 Kings 11:10 , 2 Kings 11:11 , 2 Kings 11:13 , etc.).
Size of the Holy Place
The size of the holy place differed at different times. The holy place of the tabernacle was 20 cubits long by 10 broad and 10 high (30 10 15 10 15 ft.); that of Solomon's temple was twice this in length and breadth - 40 by 20 cubits; but it is contended by many (Bähr, etc.) that in height it was the full internal height of the building - 30 cubits; the Herodian temple has the same dimensions of length and breadth, but Josephus and Middōth give largely increased, though differing, numbers for the height.
Contents of Holy Place
The contents of the holy place were from the beginning ordered to be these (Exodus 25:23 ; Exodus 30:1-10 ): the altar of incense, a golden candlestick (in Solomon's temple increased to ten, 1 Kings 7:49 ), and a table of showbread (likewise increased to ten, 2 Chronicles 4:8 ). For the construction, position, history and uses of these objects and articles under the several headings. This, as shown by Josephus and by the sculptures on the Arch of Titus, continued to be the furniture of the holy place till the end.
As the outer division of the sanctuary, into which, as yet, not the people, but only their representatives in the priesthood, were admitted while yet the symbols of the people's consecrated life (prayer, light, thanksgiving) were found in it, the holy place may be said to represent the people's relation to God in the earthly life, as the holy of holies represented God's relation to the people in a perfected communion.
In the Epistle to the Hebrews, the holy place is not largely dwelt on as compared with the court in which the perfect sacrifice was offered, and the holiest of all into which Jesus Christ has now entered (Christ passes "through" the tabernacle into the holiest, Hebrews 9:11 ). It pertains, however, evidently to the earthly sphere of Christ's manifestation, even as earth is the present scene of the church's fellowship. Through earth, by the way which Christ has opened up, the believer, already in spirit, finally in fact, passes with Him into the holiest (Hebrews 10:19 ; compare Hebrews 9:8 ; see Westcott, Hebrews , 233ff).

Panic over MERS virus fades in Saudi Arabia
More News from Agence France-Presse
AL-HUFUF – People in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province have again started greeting friends with the traditional kiss on the cheek, and face masks in public are becoming rarer, as panic subsides over the outbreak of a deadly respiratory disease that hit the country last year.
"We continue to kiss each other when we meet relatives and friends, and we organize evenings without wearing masks or taking any precautionary measures," said Badr Abdullah, as he bought groceries at a shopping center in Al-Hufuf, the main city in Al-Ahsa governorate.
"At the beginning, panic hit us. But now, the situation is back to normal," Abdullah said.
Last June, the province was hit for the first time with what became a spate of cases of what was dubbed Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) because of the high proportion of cases reported in the region.
Out of 64 cases worldwide, the virus has killed 38 people, the World Health Organization (WHO) says. Of that total, 49 cases have been reported in Saudi Arabia, with 32 people dying.
But Abdullah, like many in Eastern Province, said he believes "most of those affected are aged people who suffered chronic illnesses."
The virus is a member of the coronavirus family, which includes the pathogen that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.
SARS sparked global panic in 2003 after it jumped to humans from animals in Asia and killed some 800 people.
Like SARS, MERS appears to cause a lung infection, causing fever, cough and breathing trouble. But it differs in that it also causes rapid kidney failure.
Hospitals in the province have taken precautionary measures, distributing masks and urging people to observe strict hygiene rules, such as washing their hands regularly, using tissues when they sneeze, and avoiding gatherings.
But pharmacist Adel Ali said that early panic had died down recently, and that sales of the face masks recommended by the health authorities had fallen.
"At the beginning, people were scared. But now, the sale of masks has dropped," he said.
Mustafa al-Hamadeh, who studies in the United States and has returned to Saudi for holidays, said he thought the fear of the virus was "exaggerated."
"I thought of cancelling my trip because of information carried by media on this virus. But I noticed when I got here that the situation is normal and I have kissed all those that I met," said the 23-year-old university student.
Health authorities have organized seminars and put up billboards to warn of the symptoms of the virus.
The campaign urged anyone suffering a high temperature, coughing fits and breathing difficulties to go to hospital immediately.
The health ministry also set up a web page discussing the virus.
Saudi Arabia is home to the two holiest sites of Islam, and hosts the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, when hundreds of thousands descend on the country from around the world.
And the authorities have decided to cut the number of authorized pilgrims, saying that was due to construction work to expand the holy site, with no word on the virus.
WHO Director General Margaret Chan said in May that there was no need to place travel restrictions for the time being, but said it was "urgent" to look into the issue of the pilgrimage.
A delegation from the WHO visited Saudi Arabia earlier this month to assess the situation and commended the kingdom for taking prompt measures to combat the virus.
While most of the cases have been concentrated in Saudi Arabia, the virus has also been found in Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
Cases have also been found in France, Germany, Italy, Tunisia and Britain, mostly patients transferred there from the Middle East for treatment or people who had travelled to the region and become ill after they returned, the WHO said.
Scientists at the Erasmus medical center in the Dutch city of Rotterdam have suggested that bats could be a natural source for the virus.
Health officials have voiced concern about the high proportion of deaths relative to cases, warning that MERS could spark a new global crisis if it mutates into a form that spreads more easily.

Colombia Tricks Rebels into Freeing Hostages ; 3 Americans Among the Rescued
By FRANK BAJAK, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOGOT, Colombia Colombian spies tricked leftist rebels into handing over kidnapped presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt and three U.S. military contractors Wednesday in a daring helicopter rescue so successful that not a single shot was fired.
Betancourt, who was seized on the campaign trail six years ago, appeared thin but healthy as she strode down the stairs of a military plane and held her mother in a long embrace.
"Thank you for your impeccable operation," she told top military commanders. "The operation was perfect."
Eleven Colombian police and soldiers were also freed in the rescue, the most serious blow ever dealt to the 44-year-old Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, which considered the four hostages their most valuable bargaining chips. The FARC is already reeling from the deaths of key commanders and the loss of much of the territory it once held.
Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos said military intelligence agents infiltrated the guerrilla ranks and led the local commander in charge of the hostages, alias Cesar, to believe they were going to take them to Alfonso Cano, the guerrillas' supreme leader.
The hostages, who had been divided in three groups, were taken to a rallying point where two disguised helicopters piloted by Colombian military agents were waiting. Betancourt said her hands and feet were bound.
"We were frustrated because we were handcuffed," she said. "We were very indignant, very humiliated."
Only when the helicopters were airborne did military crewmembers reveal their identity, she said.
"The chief of the operation said, 'We're the national army. You're free,' " she said, adding that the hostages were so shocked, it was as if "the helicopter almost fell from the sky."
Santos said Cesar and another rebel on board "were neutralized." He didn't elaborate, but said they were unhurt and would soon face justice. Santos said the other rebel captors retreated into the jungle and the army let them escape "in hopes that they will free the rest of the hostages," believed to number about 700.
The operation, Santos said, "will go into history for its audacity and effectiveness."
"We wanted to have it happen as it did today," added armed forces chief Gen. Freddy Padilla. "Without a single shot. Without anyone wounded. Absolutely safe and sound, without a scratch."
At a Bogot ceremony with top military commanders, the freed hostages walked up to a microphone one by one, identified themselves by name and rank, and thanked their rescuers. Some had been held for a dozen years, captured when rebels overran military outposts.
Last to speak was the French-Colombian Betancourt, who wore military fatigues and a floppy camouflage hat as she hugged her mother, Yolanda Pulecio, and her husband, Juan Carlos LeCompte. She removed her hat to reveal intricately braided dark hair, with plaits framing her face and a white flower.
In Paris, her son Lorenzo Delloye-Betancourt called her release "the most beautiful news of my life." He and other relatives were flying to Colombia to join her.
The Americans Marc Gonsalves, Thomas Howes and Keith Stansell were flying directly to the United States to reunite with their families, Santos said.
They had been the longest-held American hostages in the world.
Gonsalves' father, George, was mowing the yard of his Hebron, Conn., home when an excited neighbor relayed the news he had seen on television: "I didn't know how to stop my lawnmower. I was shocked. I couldn't believe it."
"We're still teary-eyed and not quite have our wits about us," said Stansell's stepmother, Lynne.
President Bush and French President Nicolas Sarkozy congratulated Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.
Santos renewed the government's offer to negotiate with the reeling rebel movement, which many believe is nearing the end of its four-decade fight. Battlefield losses and widespread desertions have cut rebel numbers in half to about 9,000 as the United States has poured billions of dollars in military aid into Colombia.
This year, historic leader Manuel Marulanda died of a reported heart attack, and two other top commanders were killed. The rest are hunkered down in remote jungle and mountain hideouts, unable to communicate effectively.
Santos said Colombia had infiltrated the rebels' seven-man ruling secretariat, but did not elaborate.
"The government reiterates to them that if they want to enter into serious negotiations in good faith, we are offering a dignified peace," Santos said.
U.S. presidential candidate John McCain said Uribe had told him in advance of the rescue plans while he was campaigning in Colombia. "It's a very high-risk operation," he said. "I congratulate President Uribe, the military and the nation of Colombia."
Betancourt, 46, was abducted in February 2002. The Americans were captured a year after Betancourt when their drug surveillance plane went down in rebel-held jungle.
In the five years since their abduction, their families had received only two "proof of life" videos, the latest in November.
That tape also showed the first images since 2003 of Betancourt. Along with letters and reports from other hostages, they showed a once-vibrant, confident woman slowly succumbing to hepatitis B, tropical skin diseases and depression. One former hostage said Betancourt was kept chained to a tree after trying to escape. There was no immediate word on Betancourt's condition.

The Albuquerque Fire Department received a donation of 22 pet oxygen masks on Tuesday.
The masks are meant to help resuscitate a dog or cat when found in a burning home.
According to AFD, between 40,000 to 150,000 pets die each year in fires across the nation.
In the case of a fire, once firefighters have assured that human lives are safe, they can turn their attention to the pets inside the home. When pet masks are not available, firefighters tend to use human masks which don't fit properly on the nose and mouth area of dogs and cats.
The new plastic, cup-shaped pet masks come in three sizes and seal around the muzzle of an animal tighter than a human mask. This helps firefighters deliver the right amount of oxygen to the pet and also protects firefighters from an injured animal that may try to bite out of fear.
The kits were donated through Invisible Fence Brand's Project Breathe initiative which to date has donated nearly 3,000 kits to fire departments across the U.S. and Canada.

Seafarers set sail for swell ride
Baja Ha-Ha rally all about adventure, fun, organizers say
Last week they made final preparations aboard their 43-foot boat, loading up the gear, food and material they would need for the trip. They wrote down a menu of casseroles, lasagna, eggs, hot and cold cereal and sandwiches. They began to joke: "Whatever happens on the Baja Ha-Ha stays on the Baja Ha-Ha."
Nervous excitement kept Sweet up the night before they left Oceanside.
"You start thinking what could go wrong," she said. "The boat's definitely ready. We've been working on it real hard."
Retired insurance saleswoman Jean Gregory, 58, said the mood was more jubilant than anxious at the start yesterday, where sun and sea merged seamlessly with the growing number of masts on the horizon.
"It's electric out here," Gregory said via cell phone before it cut out. "Everybody is just energized and ready to go and ready for the adventure."

As opposed to those who did vote and did not have their candidate/ promises realised.
I agree with fourm member's second paragraph,if it was truly about local issues i would be bothered but as in my borough were consultation is limited to infrequent meetings on a major issue and where information is restricted i will, maybe, vote in protest.

We became a unitarian authority recently and it seems that the lot in power don't have to stand for another year.

No elections here on Anglesey. They put up our council tax by the highest amount in the UK, yet they won't give us a chance to get rid of the councillors. Reputed to be the most corrupt council in Wales, and that comes from my Welsh friends!

In my area there are no local elections till next year, unless a councillor dies or something similar. But seeing the turn-outs that usually occur, makes a bit of a joke of it all, especially after the event, when the winning people seems to give a press conference about 'the public where all for them'. What happened to the other public 75% who couldn't be bothered?.
I have no allegiance to any party, and I think that shows when the council or councillor's make mistakes, and I vent my anger in the local newspaper, or with the local MP. Surprising how a little anger in a newspaper brings results, yet face to face brings broken promises on many occasions?.
One thing that I can never understand, is how someone can say that a councillor is very active in doing a lot for local groups in the community, yet at the same time consider that the person is of the wrong party.
In my books, anyone who is active to that extent, needs support irrespective of what party they might belong to. My own local council have had a number of councillor's who have defected to another party, due to disagreements or not toeing the party line. Other's have resigned in total disgust, or gone Independent, then found that they were 'stone-walled' by all the three main party's. Yet on election day's, the public are told that the prospective candidates have the public's interests to heart?.
Bah humbug!

I'll save myself the bother of a walk in the rain(though we're not having elections here as I've received no voting recycling goods)as whenever we do have local elections the same bunch gets voted back in.The last Labour MP we had was rarely ever seen in the area,yet managed to retain his seat for over 25yrs.His descendants in the same party crash blindly from one fiasco to the next,turfing out anyone from the executive who disagrees with them.For many years I didn't vote,but now do in the vain hope my vote will get rid of the present executive(though voting for the Green Party with the worlds largest Nuclear Dustbin on my doorstep probably isn't going to get them in)

A New York state man was banned by a federal judge from displaying a replica missile bearing the Viaga slogan due to a trademark violation.
U.S. District Judge William Pauley said in his ruling Tuesday Arye Sachs, 49, of West Hempstead, violated drugmaker Pfizer's trademark by towing a 25-foot replica missile emblazoned with
Viva Viagra past the corporation's headquarters in New York, Long Island Newsday reported Thursday.
Sachs said the incident was aimed at getting attention for his advertising business.
Defendant's midday sojourn with a missile to Pfizer's world headquarters traded on the fame and reputation of Viagra, Pauley said.
Sachs was ordered to cease displays of the replica missile and pay Pfizer's legal fees.

Peter Chiarelli says Marc Savard is cleared for contact
|11.23.10 at 4:26 pm ET
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli issued the following statement regarding center Marc Savard on Tuesday:
"Today Marc passed the tests administered by Dr. Micky Collins from the Sports Medicine department at UPMC, and is now cleared for contact. Marc will rejoin the team tomorrow for morning skate in Florida. There is no time-table at this time for Marc to start playing games."
Savard had travelled to Pittsburgh to undergo the testing. He had been cleared for practice and got on the ice with the rest of his teammates on Saturday, though he could not recieve physical contact at the time.
Savard has not played a game this season due to post-concussion syndrome. He suffered a concussion last March against the Penguins, missing the rest of the season before returning in the second round of the playoffs against the Flyers. He suffered a setback while training in the offseason.

I don't have any kind of budget that I am set on but it's pretty likely I would never spend the kind of money it takes to invest in a Pocher kit and the almost neccessary associated detail kit that it would take to build it the way it should be built. ALTHOUGH, I would easily spend the money it takes to purchase things like the Sherline mills and lathes if I could afford it because I could use them for a lot of other things than model building. I'm a Master Automotive Technician for a living so I am kind of a tool junky and have no problem spending a LOT of money for quality tools. Read that as "the Snap-On dealer owns me".
What is the maximum That You Will Spend on Building a Model And Has This Ever Gone Past Your Limit?
Posted 03 March 2013 - 11:45 AM
Posted 03 March 2013 - 11:47 AM
Building in 1:24/1:25 Scale
Personally, I'm very cost focused when it comes to my builds. I can't afford to think outside the box since I'm the only one working (at all) while my G/F finishes school.
Once their is 2 incomes coming in, I'll start splurging more. Until then, I can't see spending anymore that $30 on the actual Model and no more than $25 for paint and such.
Of course, on the flip side, their are NO Hobby Stores even close to me that have a wide array of model building supplies (styrene and such). So, in a sense thats a plus for me otherwise I a budget would be no concern.
Moral of my situation: If I REALLY want it, I will buy it. If I doubt what I want in anyway, I pass.
Posted 03 March 2013 - 12:05 PM
List most others, I don't have any pre-set limit. And the most I've ever spent on one kit (the kit plus aftermarket detail items) was about $1,000. That's just the kit and the aftermarket parts alone... I don't count supplies like paint, glue, sandpaper, X-acto blades, etc., as that is all just general supplies that are used on all kits, and an ongoing expense as needed.
Posted 03 March 2013 - 12:12 PM
All depends on who, and what it is for, $25 to $200, I use to race circle track,,and modeling is a few hundred cheap.
Posted 03 March 2013 - 12:37 PM
Kit, paint, glue, thought , effort, procrastination, Oooo, look at this new kit (finish that other one later) = about $30
Wow!!! you just described me to a T!!!
As for me and a budget, I spend whatever it takes to build the model.
Edited by Custom Hearse, 03 March 2013 - 12:38 PM.
Posted 03 March 2013 - 12:48 PM
If you have to total up the cost.... I humbly suggest you find another hobby.
Since I take each task one day at a time and only purchase before the need, I rarely consider the total cost for my hobby including time spent because that is not a hobby. It's a business.
Posted 03 March 2013 - 02:07 PM
There is no limit for me, a lot of it depends on how much I want to build a particular subject, and what my available funds are. If I really want something, I'll save up for it.
Posted 04 March 2013 - 05:30 AM
I have a couple of builds that ended up costing around $100 by the time they were done due to photo etch pieces and using automotive paint but most of the time the cost of the kit and maybe a set of wheels is pretty much all I'll spend since I've got a decent sized collection of paints and spare parts. I also try to scratchbuild everything I can before buying aftermarket since sheet styrene is a lot cheaper than resin.
Posted 04 March 2013 - 06:35 AM
I agree with what Pete J. said in both of his posts. I do the same basic assessment to benchmark the value of my time and monetary investment.
I think the most I ever spent on a kit was $302.00, including shipping. One guess as to what kind of kit that was... Built it out of the box and got my money's worth in enjoyment. (And apparently a small addiction.)
Recently I bought $50.00 worth of brass stock and $300.00 worth of molding/casting materials. All of that is going into a model that has no kit parts in it. (Well, maybe not all the casting stuff.) For the amount of time I will spend on the project, it works out to a fair investment in return for enjoyment of the hobby.
As for a direct answer to the topic question:
There is no set limit, but I have spent more than I should have on some models, and amazingly little (to me) for the outcome on others.
Posted 04 March 2013 - 06:49 AM
Like what has already been stated previously, I actually have never added up what the "costs" are on a particular build. I've spent $125 for a resin kit, and I've spent $5.00 for a glue bomb. I've been back in this hobby for 21 years and have accumulated lots of stuff over the years as has everyone else. I must have well over $1,000 worth of PE and aftermarket parts that I've bought over time. Paints, primers, paint stands, glues, tools, brushes, sheet plastic, tubing of all types, that also have been bought, replaced or replenished over time. I never actually put a limit on what I'll spend on a particular build... it costs whatever it costs to finish it up the way I want it to look.
Posted 04 March 2013 - 07:29 AM
I just don't worry about it frankly. Compared to other hobbies, this hobby is incredibly cheap. My wife realizes this so I spend what I want, but having said that, almost none of my builds has more than $50-60 invested. I've learned to use cheaper materials that keep my aftermarkets costs way down. Also any model that I do spend more money on is totally offset by the model I build for next to nothing from the parts bins and parted out kits.
Posted 04 March 2013 - 08:47 AM
l build box stock so a kit, paint foil and glue. l very seldom buy after market items....
Posted 04 March 2013 - 08:48 AM
Never give up. Never quit. All those started kits I have? As far as I am concerned, they are still being worked on.
Not.... necessarily by me, mind you, but... some day, by someone, they will get done.
Posted 04 March 2013 - 08:56 AM
"I am just wondering what you guys think is the limit to spend when building a model car or light truck? For guys that build big rigs, I ask the same, but please specify what type of model you are referring to. And dioramas - that's a whole different kind of build but let's look at those as well. I know that a diorama can be years in completing and I am not so sure that there is never room for improvement or that one more detail just to add realism."
There's no need to separate cars, light trucks, big rigs or dioramas- you can spend as much or as little time and cash as you want to on any type of model. It's kind of like "How fast do you want to go? Well, how much money do you want to spend?" It all depends on the reason for which you are building the model and the depth of your financial resources.
Posted 04 March 2013 - 09:16 AM
I've had a couple that were around $100. when I got done. Resin kit, a plastic doner kit, paint and supplies.
But most of the time, the cost of the kit. Got enough parts kits to fab up everything else.
I'm a piker when it comes to building. Secondary hobby here. Just for the fun of it.
I don't got out for contest builds. I''m not impressing anybody but me.
Posted 04 March 2013 - 09:18 AM
I spent almost 2 years building my well drilling rig from scratch. the only aftermarket part I used was a Cat engine in the rear. Cost? Don't care I do it for the enjoyment and I'm also single so no wife to gripe at me. LOL
Posted 04 March 2013 - 09:24 AM
Since I build vintage sports cars and classics, most of my money goes toward reference material for individual cars, such as original owner's manuals, shop manuals, books, real parts, built versions of my kits from eBay, etc. That amounts to several times the cost of each kit. Actually, I've become more of a collector of of things like that than an active model builder (so far). Lord knows how much time I've spent on online research.
Edited by sjordan2, 04 March 2013 - 09:28 AM.
Posted 04 March 2013 - 09:51 AM
Seems you are asking a question that to each person has a different limit or sight on. You build for your self even if you are building a car for some one else and try to keep it in your budget of your own. Each person on here has a different way of doing things and how much they drop for clear coat, paint or even go after buying a lathe or mill. Some of use do drop change like its falling from a sky compare to others but it's what makes us happy and us work better.
Posted 04 March 2013 - 10:28 AM
I don't usually set a budget since mostly what I build is box stock so for me it's just the cost of the kit (at less than retail) plus any paint I may not have in my stock or foil if I'm running low on that.Occasionally I'll splurge and buy some photoetch or aftermarket decals but not for every kit.The cost of the paint,glue,and foil is amortized over several kits.
Posted 04 March 2013 - 10:30 AM
I dont count how much I spend on any given model because you can't put a price on the relaxation and pleasure it gives me to spend time on them. That to me is invaluable. But the most I've spent thus far (mostly because the wife counted it lol) on a model was around 1300.00 and counting. That also includes the paint however as I bought it for this model.
Most of them are around the 100.00 range when I have to buy wiring and such but obviously that will do more than one model.

Smith to drive for Phoenix Racing
TALLADEGA, Ala.
Regan Smith and Kurt Busch are trading places — at least for now.
THAT'S THE WAY!Keselowski's back in charge after JJ's setback. NASCAR Power Rankings
Smith, 29, will drive the No. 51 Phoenix Racing Chevrolet at Charlotte Motor Speedway while Busch takes over the seat in the No. 78 Furniture Row Chevrolet for the remainder of the season and on to next year.
"We're looking forward to having Regan in our car," Phoenix Racing general manager Steve Barkdoll said. "Regan performed the tire test at Kansas, and that should be helpful at intermediate tracks. We believe he can help get our program back on track and help attract sponsorship going forward."
Smith has competed in NASCAR since 2002 and in the Sprint Cup Series since 2007. His sole official win came last year at Darlington Raceway, but Smith came incredibly close to his first victory at Talladega in fall 2008. In NASCAR's judgment, however, Smith was dropped from first to 18th after the race for passing below the yellow line to advance his position.
Smith is currently a career-best 23rd in the Sprint Cup point standings. He's led just two laps this season but scored two top-10 finishes after Todd Berrier took over the role of crew chief at Indianapolis Motor Speedway at the end of July.
Two weeks ago, Smith acknowledged he would not be returning to Furniture Row Racing in 2013. On Sept. 24, FRR officially announced that Busch would be filling that ride. Smith has been mentioned as a candidate for one of the JR Motorsports teams in the Nationwide Series. Team owner Kelley Earnhardt-Miller confirmed at Dover last week that Smith was on the short list. With Smith's former crew chief Ryan Pemberton moving to JRM last month, certainly it could be a comfortable arrangement for the driver.
For Phoenix Racing, this is a tryout of sorts to see how Smith acclimates with the team. Team owner James Finch is not committing to one driver as the company continues its sponsor search. Barkdoll added that there has been recent interest from potential sponsors and hopes to find the right match between a benefactor and driver.

New restaurants to try
Tasty additions to our restaurant scene, from overstuffed sandwiches to ultramod L.A. imports
Raglan Public House: Two months old, and all its burger beef is grassfed, ground in house, and organic. Oh, there's burger fillings like chicken, fish and tofu. The lamb burger comes with red onion, mint jam, and beets that are julienned into long thin strips. Raglan's sister is Bare Back Grill in PB. 1851 Bacon St. (619) 794-2304 or raglanpublichouse.com.
Serenity Restaurant & Lounge: It is newly opened across from the Convention Center, and it's where you'll find Asian fusion, specifically filet mignon, seared scallops and crab-and-bacon fried rice made by executive chef Josh Hernandez. And find peace at Serenity's 60-foot bar. 201 J St., Marina District. (619) 450-4201 or serenitysd.com
Urban Eats: For three days, chef-owner Chris Sayre did an "Asian-inspired taqueria" here called Taco Banh. Then he closed and quickly rearranged his concept, aiming for a less exaggerated idea called "gourmet comfort food."

Pearl Harbour – Luv Goon
I don't know too much about this band other than what Stereo Gum tells me. "Piper and Skylar (and live member Cody) make up the dreamy, peace-loving Los Angeles fuzz-pop band Pearl Harbor. They have a four-song 12″ forthcoming on Mexican Summer, the label that also recently brought you releases by the similarly sandy Washed Out, Real Estate, etc." I like all those bands and I think I like these ladies too. Feel free to stalk them on MySpace and read their blog.

New video by MIA – Space Odyssey" is a protest song produced by Rusko. According to Fader the song and video were made Monday night for $100 after the New York Times printed a questionable story on how Sri Lanka is now the best place to travel in 2010. After watching the video it's clear they overpaid to make it.
