Out of Africa(R) Restores the Skin While Making the World a Better Place
VENICE, Calif., July 15 /PRNewswire/ — Thanks to the expanding Out of Africa organic shea butter line of products, hundreds of West African children are being educated so they can provide for themselves and contribute to their communities.
The Southern California-based company, formed in 2005, works with the women's cooperatives in Benin, West Africa to harvest and produce the finest shea butter that is used in the company's products. Out of Africa soaps and body care products are made with unrefined shea butter, which is not processed and keeps all the healing and moisturizing properties intact. The products contain some of the highest amounts of shea butter on the market.
The all natural Out of Africa line was created by Victor Lulla, a native New Yorker and progressive entrepreneur who gave up early retirement to pursue his desire to be socially responsible. Lulla teamed up with West Africa soap maker Gilles Adamon to form Out of Africa. As the global need for all-natural products and the popularity of shea butter products continues to grow, Out of Africa is able to offer premium quality skincare products at affordable retails–and help the people of West Africa. As demand for shea butter products increases, so do the number of jobs for these women, which aids the local economy. In addition, the company donates 3% of all sales to help educate children thru the Benin Education Fund.
Benefits of shea butter include moisturizing, revitalizing and protecting skin. Out of Africa offers bar soaps, washes, lotions, creams, body oils and lip balms which all help improve skin conditions such as dry or chapped skin, eczema, psoriasis, wrinkles, sun burns and stretch marks.
About Out of Africa Products:
Out of Africa products are available at natural food stores, food, drug and mass-market retailers and specialty stores in the U.S. and Canada. For more information, visit http://www.outofafricashea.com.

Beautiful Costumes, Beautiful World

In the film
Beautiful Creatures
, Gatlin, South Carolina might seem like a sleepy Southern town where nothing ever happens, but beneath the surface, there are strange and magical forces, rooted in the past, that are about to re-emerge in ways the townspeople can't even begin to imagine. Shot on location in and around
New Orleans
and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the film adaptation of
Beautiful Creatures
from director/screenwriter Richard LaGravenese (
Water For Elephants
) is based on the New York Times bestseller by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, and succeeds in bringing the gorgeous costumes and sets to life.
It's a Romeo and Juliet love story with a supernatural spin and a cast of young newcomers supported by stellar veterans like Jeremy Irons, Emma Thompson, and Viola Davis. Alden Ehrenreich stars in the romantic role of Ethan Wate. "Ethan believes he can make his world what he wants it to be and win this new girl, who is clearly out of his realm," says Ehrenreich. "I think audiences will have fun going on the 'ride' with him and being inside his head as he tries."
That new girl is actress Alice Englert, daughter of Oscar-winning Australian filmmaker Jane Campion, who relished the breakthrough role as young Lena Duchannes. "What really drew me to the film was the idea of these huge supernatural struggles between good and evil told through the context of very human feelings."
When the filmmakers first put Alice in a room with Alden, everything clicked. "Once in a while, you get lightning in a jar, and this was a double bolt," says producer David Valdes. That chemistry was integral to the story of two young people clinging together in the midst of a supernatural war.
Most of the film's production took place in and around New Orleans and an abandoned factory across the bridge from the city was converted to sound stages that housed most of the sets except for Lena's room, which was constructed on a stage in Baton Rouge. LaGravenese collaborated with director of photography Philippe Rousselot, costume designer Jeffrey Kurland, and production designer Richard Sherman to create a grounded world with a supernatural presence.
"After reading the book, I decided to get a feel for locations before writing, which is a first," says LaGravenese, who has since completed the upcoming
Behind the Candelabra
, starring Matt Damon, and Michael Douglas as Liberace. "I flew to South Carolina, and took photographs in a small town outside of Charleston, called McClellanville. Then I started writing. Being in that place, for me, a kid from Brooklyn, was like being in a foreign country. I was fascinated by it."
For the film locations, the crew sought unique places that had not been shot before, small areas that felt hidden from the world. Covington, Louisiana doubled as the town of Gatlin and also houses the church in which Mrs. Lincoln (Emma Thompson) and Macon (Jeremy Irons) first lock horns. Although the town is picturesque, Sherman searched for something less bucolic than beautiful porches, ultimately finding buildings that had been collapsed and blown out, corrugated tin warehouses, lean-tos and rubble.
Sherman also found practical exteriors for the main sets, including Ravenwood Manor and an antebellum exterior in Morganza, two-and-a-half hours north of New Orleans. In true Romeo and Juliet fashion, family drives the star-crossed lovers apart, forcing Ethan and Lena to scale the wall between Ravenwood and Greenbriar to meet; Sherman's crew had to actually build a wall that was used at the Ravenwood set then moved to the Greenbrier set in Fulsom, Louisiana. Other New Orleans locations included houses near the Garden district, which served as Mrs. Lincoln's and Ethan's homes and the Prytania movie theater, where Lena and Ethan's first date takes place.
Costume designer Jeffrey Kurland's challenge mirrored that of the production design team: creating different looks for the many sequences in the past and present, for varying time periods. Nearly 80 outfits were custom made, including Jeremy Irons' entire wardrobe for his powerful role as Macon Ravenwood. "Macon can do and wear whatever he likes," says Kurland. "That freedom was a nice thing to have. You see a little reference to the '20s, '30s, and so on because he's been around a long time." Irons agrees and calls his character "an enigma. He has a style, a wit and a bit of mystery. I found all of those things very interesting to play. I knew it would be fun to come to Louisiana and tell this story."
The costumer also got to play with Ridley Duchannes' (
star Emmy Rossum) look, which is as unpredictable as her character. "Ridley is quite the fashionista," he explains. "Since LaGravenese wanted to have more fun with the magic, Kurland incorporated an iconic film look for each of Ridley's ensembles, including Rita Hayworth in
and Marilyn Monroe in
River of No Return
By contrast, Emma Thompson's character, the dangerous Bible-beater Mrs. Lincoln, "is the champion of the dowdy housecoat and some really terrible suits and twin sets," Thompson laughs. "Her underwear alone is a whole story: a pointy bra, girdle and nylon underwear. It's like a nylon hell. She always wears a crucifix and has a tight hairdo like a helmet. It's tragic. Jeffrey had this fabulous opportunity to put me in some of the ugliest things he ever made. And for me, it was great to be given a role where you could really turn around and destroy the Earth. When I read the script it made me say, 'yes, please, how delicious.'"
Kurland's design for Lena's ball gown incorporated both the formality demanded by the grand ball event and a representation of Lena's true personality. "I decided that layers of tulle, silk gazar and net would be lightweight and work beautifully for the movement and physicality involved," Kurland describes. "The bodice needed structure, but I designed the top of the gown as a man's shirt might look, open and loose, which I felt was more her style. The vintage silk peau de soie and many well-placed seams helped to give it the grace and elegance that it required."
Although Kurland created many new costume concepts, there are specific iconic traits in the book that he took care to carry over to the screen, including Lena's necklace. Kurland designed it and says, "It's little pieces of what she's gathered together from the places she's been, a little trinket, a little charm, a piece of a doll, and a bottle cap is also there."
"It was really great working with Jeffrey and beginning to understand Lena and the way she dresses," says Englert. "It was fun getting into those details." Part of that unique style is a tattoo number that changes as Lena counts down to her sixteenth birthday where she'll either be claimed by light or dark magical forces.
Amma, played by Viola Davis (
The Help
), also has a telling tattoo as well as a wardrobe that alludes to her ancestral African roots. "There's a certain kind of spirituality and elegance to Amma," says Kurland. "Her wardrobe is tailored but very avant-garde, colorful and patterned. It stands alone."
As Lena faces her moment of reckoning, everyone attends a ball to celebrate her transformation, but at the same time, the mortals are celebrating the Civil War re-enactment of the Battle of Honey Hill. Both required many costumes. "First, there's the real 1864 battle. Then there's the modern day reenactment," says Kurland. "There is a difference between what people in 2012 think 1864 is like as opposed to what it actually was like."
The ball scene was shot at the Ravenwood exterior and LaGravenese told his costume designer he wanted the look to be "Ascot Gavotte-meets-Alexander McQueen", commenting, "Jeffrey created 25 of the most original costumes with no time in the schedule because I got the idea during prep. He's amazing."
The artful mix of location and fashion makes
Beautiful Creatures
both an imaginative romance and a time-traveling fashion show, each with a message. "With all our flaws, fears, confusions and weaknesses, mortals also have great powers. Faith. Choice. Compassion. Sacrifice. Love. In telling a story about Supernaturals, the hope is we're telling a story about the magic of our own humanity that makes ordinary beings extraordinary, beautiful creatures."

That was one of the few covers on The Seven's 1970 LP, "The song is SONG - The Album is ALBUM" on Thunderbird Records. Others included the Holland-Dozier-Holland composition "(Love is Like a) Heat Wave" and Horace Silver's "Song for My Father," which spotlighted Mellone's keyboard. Originals on the record included "Girl, Girl," "Take It (the Way You Want It)" and "Searchin' for Sunshine."
B3 Brahmin
Syracuse Hammond B3 player Michael Davis remembers Mellone as a magician with the organ.
"He was the one who told me the secret of how to take my mellow-sounding stock B-3 and unleash the screaming, soulful sound that was locked in the instrument." Davis said. "It was a simple modification done with just a screwdriver adjusting a trim capacitor on the organ's pre-amp. Chuck Mellone knew all the tricks. His B-3 and Leslie cabinets sounded better than anybody else's."
As an audio engineer, Mellone helped WCNY-FM make its debut on Dec. 4, 1971. A few years later, Mellone moved to Los Angeles to become a studio engineer for A&M Records. In California, he worked with artists such as Hoyt Axton, Glen Campbell and New Riders and the Purple Sage.
"Chuck was a master sound technician and a master musician," Davis said.
Music and meat man
Syracuse bandleader Jack Kreischer, whose orchestra was a mainstay at Hotel Syracuse for decades, died here March 30. He was 91. Kreischer also ran a successful meat market on South Salina Street.
He began his professional career in the 1930s, and - for more than a half-century - his orchestras entertained thousands of CNYers. In his last years as a resident of The Nottingham he enjoyed playing requests on his saxophone for his fellow residents.
Former Hotel Syracuse food and beverage manager Van Sterio recalls hiring Kreischer's combos and buying his meat.
"We shared many fond memories with Jack as a purveyor and musician while working with him at the Hotel Syracuse and our restaurant," Sterio remembered.
Drummer Larry Luttinger, now executive director of downtown's CNY Jazz Central, once played in Kreischer's orchestra, and he also reflected on the man's dual vocations.
"Jack was a great bandleader and friend," Luttinger said. "I remember the dates I played with his great combo, including the great Mack McKaig on piano. There was always a roast beef sandwich for the band in the kitchen of every club he played. What a coincidence!"

I created a whole line I dubbed "Kaleidoscope" as per the multi-colored beads used. It started with one piece and using up left over beads I had. Turned into a funky twist of designs for necklaces and bracelets - great raves from all who have seen them. Now to photo edit and post to my etsy shop. I am only doing a limited number of pieces and have yet to decide how to label them!?!?
This is just darling... I have a set just like this and it goes with everything. I love wearing mine with jeans, a colored tank top under a big white shirt... darling!
I LOVE color and this is a great way to use up all the extra beads. I'm going to try to make one myself. Thanks for sharing.

60 Memorable EDM Photos of 2012
Thursday, December 6, 2012 | 3 years ago
2012 was the year that electronic dance music blew up -- at least in the eyes of the mainstream media and the Grammys. Still though, it was undoubtedly a good year for the genre, from the dubstep purveyors to the beat scene to the underground. Here's a look back at EDM parties large and small -- and the people who fill the dancefloor -- from coast to coast this year.

I have found yet another fetish. Tonight me and my roomate went out to eat for his birthday. When we got back home in our apartment parking lot, he vomited. Before today, I was so grossed out by throw up. But, I was so turned on by this for some reason. There was this big puke stain on the gravel. His pants were stained with vomit. It looked like canned tomatoes. Bah I'm so weird, I need to be locked up somewhere.
Am I alone on this one?

Infrastructure Materials Corp. – Cement grade limestone identified
The Company's Aspen Project, located in the southeast corner of Idaho also offers similar encouraging preliminary results. Geochemical assay results of samples taken from the property indicate cement grade limestone ranging between 94% and 95% calcium carbonate. Based on surface measurements from the outcropping limestone, it is estimated that there may be a possible 150+ million tons available with little to no overburden strip ratio. For ideal cement processing limestone must contain not less than 88% calcium carbonate.

LIMA – Findlay tried to pack into a zone in hopes of slowing down Lima Senior.
That ploy worked for about the first few minutes of Monday's Three Rivers Athletic Conference girls basketball game at Lima Senior.
Once Findlay relinquished its early 2-0 lead over Lima Senior, the Spartans put the pedal to the medal and rolled to a convincing 72-34 victory over the Trojans.
Rion Thompson led Lima Senior (17-3, 9-3 TRAC) in scoring, pouring in 26 points, including two 3-pointers. Thompson scored 14 points in the second quarter. Indiya Benjamin nearly pulled off a triple-double, scoring 20 points, dishing out 10 assists and pulling down nine rebounds. Benjamin also made six steals at the defensive end. Essence Cowan added 12 points for the Spartans.
After Findlay (2-18, 2-10 TRAC) started the game with a basket inside the paint by Zoe Swisher, the Spartans then went on a 13-0 run to claim a 13-2 lead. By the end of the first quarter Lima Senior led 13-4. Benjamin scored seven points in the first eight minutes of action.
Findlay struggled shooting in the first quarter, hitting just 1-of-17 from the field.
In the second quarter, Lima Senior got its transition game going.
Thompson got hot from the outside, scoring 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting to help lead Lima Senior to a 39-16 halftime lead.
"We didn't shoot it real well, early," Lima Senior coach Vince Halliday said. "It was more of a slower pace, early in the game. I think that was, obviously, Findlay's game plan. They packed into a 3-2 zone. When they do that and you don't shoot well early, then it slows the pace down at the offensive end.
"So, we didn't get to run like we wanted, until toward the end of the first period. In the second quarter, we really got things revved up a little bit. Rion got hot in the second quarter and when you can score in transition, then you don't have to worry about facing the zone. …They don't have time to set it up."
Findlay was 4 of 27 shooting from the floor in the first half. Lima Senior was 15 of 44 in the first half. Thompson and Benjamin combined for 29 points in the first two quarters.
"We struggled hitting some shots, especially in the first half," Findlay coach Connie Lyon said. "We did have some open looks. We got some great opportunities in the paint, but we just could not knock those down. That's where you want to build some confidence, especially when you cross the free throw line and get into the lane."
The Spartans outscored the Trojans 16-10 in the third frame. Lima Senior's largest lead in the third quarter was 35 points.
Throughout the entire game, Findlay struggled to locate Lima Senior's shooters.
"They're very athletic. They're great athletes," Lyon said. "When you have that inside/outside game, you have a good point guard and have balance with your shooters, it's something that any team would like to have."
Sarah Smarkel led Findlay with seven points. Jenny Vielhaber added six points and five rebounds for the Trojans.
For the game, Lima Senior shot 37 percent from the floor. Findlay shot 23 percent from the field.
"Obviously, Findlay is down this year," Halliday said. "But it's a big rivalry game and any time we can beat Findlay, I'm real pleased with it."

In the weeks prior to the presidential election, I wrote of the rather formidable gap between how President Obama fared in polls where respondents were classified as "likely voters" and how he performed in polls where all registered voters were included.
At the time, I went back to data from the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections, and I discovered the following:
Of the 50 state presidential polls conducting during the final month of the 2004 and 2008 presidential campaigns, the RV result was closer to the final outcome than the LV result in fully half of them. In just 38 percent of them was the LV screen closer to the final outcome than the RV screen. In six of the polls, incidentally, there was no difference between the RV/LV results in a poll.While there are still hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of ballots remaining to be counted in the 2012 presidential election, we have enough data to draw some pretty firm conclusions on the merits of screening for likely voters.
Exactly a half dozen pollsters, looking at the Obama versus Romney national numbers, bothered to differentiate their "likely voter" screens from their results among all registered voters. Here is how they broke down:
- Gallup Tracking, 11/5/2012: Romney +1 (LV); Obama +3 (RV)
- Ipsos/Reuters Tracking, 11/5/2012: Obama +2 (LV); Obama +4 (RV)
- CNN/Opinion Research, 11/4/2012: Obama +0 (LV); Obama +2 (RV)
- Fox News, 10/31/2012: Obama +0 (LV); Obama +1 (RV)
- YouGov, 10/31/2012: Obama +1 (LV); Obama +2 (RV)
- CBS/New York Times, 10/30/2012: Obama +1 (LV); Obama +5 (RV)
In other words, given the current national margin (Obama +3.2, which is likely to expand with additional provisional and absentee ballots from Obama-friendly states like California and New York), the "likely voter" screen was further removed from the final result than the registered voters screen in all six cases.
Now, in fairness, virtually every national poll in the final week underestimated the eventual Obama margin of victory. Therefore, if likely voter screens create more Republican-leaning results (which has long been a given in polling analysis), if everyone underestimated Obama, it stands to reason that the RV screens would perform better.
That said, some of those likely voter screens were quite a ways off. Most notably, the crew at Gallup has had quite a bit of criticism heaped upon them for missing the fairway, especially since this is the second cycle in a row that their likely voter screen has erred badly in favor of the GOP.
As Steven Shepard, the resident polling analyst over at National Journal, pointed out in an excellent campaign post-mortem:
On Oct. 26, Gallup released a demographic analysis of those respondents classified as likely voters in its daily tracking poll between Oct. 1 and Oct. 24. Of those voters, 78 percent were classified as non-Hispanic white, significantly more than the percentage of white voters measured by exit pollsters, 72 percent.Mellman has a salient point. Modeling a potential electorate is always an act of guesswork, but a quick examination of presidential exit poll data should've exposed the folly of the electorate that Gallup was expecting to see fill the polls on November 6th.
Four years ago, Gallup also found an electorate that was 78 percent white, an overestimation from the 74 or 75 percent recorded by exit polls. But this year's disparity is of a greater magnitude.
Gallup has also underrepresented younger respondents in its measures of likely voters. Over the first 24 days of October, 13 percent of Gallup's likely-voter sample was younger than age 30. Exit polls show these younger voters made up 19 percent of the national electorate.
Democratic pollster Mark Mellman believes this kind of likely-voter screen is counterproductive. Speaking at the event at the Gallup building, Mellman said that pollsters and the media have "overfetishized this whole notion of likely voters."
"We should not be concerned about finding likely voters," said Mellman. "We should be concerned about simulating the likely electorate."
In 1992, the electorate was 87 percent white. In 1996, the electorate was 83 percent white. In 2000, the electorate was 81 percent white. In 2004, the electorate was 77 percent white. And, finally, in 2008, the electorate was 74 percent white.
You don't need a Master's degree in statistics to see a certain trajectory in those numbers. And, yet, somehow, Gallup was presuming not merely a stoppage of that trajectory, but a reversal of it.
(In the name of complete disclosure, there are alternate theories on the issue of nonwhite populations in exit polling. Read Harry Enten's excellent post-election article in the Guardian on the matter.)
To say that a marked increase in the white share of the electorate seemed unlikely, especially when between 2008 and 2012, there were four million new registered Latino voters, is perhaps the understatement of the year. And it is why Gallup is taking a heap of criticism, quite a bit of which would appear to be justified.

After Honey Singh had teamed up for Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan and others, it was time that he paired up with our lovely Kareena Kapoor.
And what better than Singham Returns to do that. Singham Returns which is riding high on commercial value, given its strong mass appeal, has roped in the Yo Yo rapper to compose a song for them.
The song titled 'Aata Majhi Satakli'- the famous catchline from the prequel, is peppy and groovy. Kareena, who featured with Honey Singh for the first time absolutely loved the track.
The actress believes that this was the best platform her to be associated with Honey Singh as she has always loved his music. She seemed very confident of the track being a chartbuster very soon. Given Honey's track record, this sounds to be a sure thing.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/9/14
Braylon Edwards is back on the field with the New York Jets, and is expected to play against the Tennessee Titans on Monday night. Edwards was claimed off waivers from Seattle on Tuesday, reuniting the veteran wide receiver with quarterback Mark Sanchez and the team he helped lead to consecutive AFC title games in 2009 and 2010. Edwards was expected to be a limited participant at practice Thursday with a hamstring issue, but passed his physical and coach Rex Ryan is optimistic about his chances to play. The move to bring Edwards back came a week after he called the Jets' front office ''idiots'' for how the team has handled the struggling Sanchez. All was apparently forgiven and forgotten, with Ryan joking that he has been called ''a lot worse.''

NEWBERG, Ore. -- A Newberg hotel was recognized for being one of the most environmentally friendly in the nation, according to a survey conducted by the online travel planning website TripAdvisor.
TripAdvisor polled more than 2,100 American travelers for the survey and they chose Allison Inn & Spa as the second most green hotel in the nation.
Allison Inn & Spa is an 85-room resort which was designed with sustainability in mind. The property even has a living roof, which provides insulation to reduce energy use.
Many of the travelers polled said they intentionally seek out green hotels in their effort to reduce their own impact on the environment.
Not only is seeking out an eco-friendly accommodation good for the environment, but our survey also shows that most travelers find travel experiences more enjoyable when they make greener choices, said Jenny Rushmore, director of responsible travel at TripAdvisor. For those interested in lowering the carbon footprint of their trips, this list of TripAdvisor GreenLeaders hotels showcases properties that have a strong commitment to sustainability and are highly rated by our travel community.

A friend from Colombo recently informed me that there was a book about Mahadevan Sathasivam (Satha to all) that had just come out and was sure that I would be interested in it. When he told me that Sathasivam of Ceylon - The Batting Legend was by Prof. Ravindra Fernando of the Department of Forensic Medicine, University of Colombo, I was even more interested. For, I thought, it would shed further forensic light on the murder of the wife of that legendary South Asian playboy cricketer whom many an old-timer in Madras still remembers for an innings at Chepauk in 1947 that they still consider the finest they ever saw played on that turf.
Writing back to that former colleague for more information about the book, I got the reply that it was only about Satha's cricket. And with it came a couple of quotes that my correspondent was sure I'd be able to use in this column. But before getting to them, there's the reason Dr. Fernando, a cricket enthusiast, gives for writing this book. "Sathasivam," he says, "was perhaps the best batsman Sri Lanka produced. The great Frank Worrell, captaining a Commonwealth XI against Ceylon, and his teammates clapped Sathasivam off the field during a 'Test' in 1950. Satha had scored 96 out of Ceylon's 153 against a high class attack on a bowler-friendly wicket, leading Worrell to describe him as 'the best batsman in the world; my first pick as a batsman for a World XI'."
Those who watched that 1947 innings in Madras would be inclined to agree with that assessment. Certainly two Indian sportswriters who looked back on his life and that innings said as much in the words that follow:
Sriram Veera, the chief cricket correspondent of the Mumbai Mirror, recalling that innings for All-Ceylon against South India wrote: "In 1947, a slim figure glided to the centre of the wicket with a 'bewitching elegance', his cap worn at a rakish angle, a white handkerchief tied around his neck, and proceeded to dispatch the ball to all parts of the ground while making 215. If the old-timers are to be believed, that knock from Mahadevan Sathasivam, the legendary and flamboyant Ceylonese batsman, was the finest innings ever played at Chepauk." And an obituary in The Mail, Madras, stated, "…Ever since, as a lanky stripling, Sathasivam made his mark in the cricket-crazy island, he had been a regular member of the Ceylon team that visited India until his wife's death involved him in a court case, which ruined his career. Probably because of this, he left the island and worked in Malaysia, which country also he had the distinction of captaining…
"Such had been the name and fame that preceded the Colombo run-getting machine that he was the cynosure of all eyes…He had by then blossomed into one of the world's greatest batsmen of the time. He emphasised his rise to the highest class by making mincemeat of an attack that comprised the pace of M.J. Gopalan and C.R. Rangachari, the latter in his heyday, and the spin of N.J. Venkatesan, Ghulam Ahmed, C.P. Johnstone and B.C. Alva. He was on dancing feet as he proceeded to erase the Chepauk record of 213 by making 215 in almost even time before a spellbound crowd.
"From Jack Hobbs to Joe Hardstaff and Dennis Compton… from Gary Sobers to Vijay Hazare, batsmen have enthralled the intelligent and knowledgeable Chepauk crowds and enriched Chepauk's history with their batsmanship of varying styles. But no one has played an innings like Sathasivam's record-making double century - 215 dazzling runs - that contained the fireworks of Nayudu, the footwook of Weekes, the subtlety of Hassett, the driving power of Sobers and (all) the (other) ingredients of batsmanship of the highest class. A great batsman… one whom Chepauk will never forget."
Whoever has seen Satha bat would have views about his batting not very different from these. He was a cricketer who would spend all night carousing and score a most elegant century the next day. Madras saw him only too often in that form.
More than a film-maker
I had, long ago, marked in December 2 to remember Bommireddy Nagi Reddy, but somehow what I had noted escaped my attention when the time came. But that 100th birthday of one of the greatest film-makers of South India also missed the notice of many others.
When you recall Nagi Reddy, what do you remember him for? For the 50-plus films he produced and the stars that emerged from them? For Vijaya Studios, which he created, then Asia's biggest film studio? For Vijaya Productions, in which he teamed with his alter ego, script writer Chakrapani, to score success after success? For giving up films later and focussing on medicare? For founding Vijaya Hospital (1972), Vijaya Health Centre (1987) and Vijaya Heart Foundation (1996), one of the biggest hospital complexes in the city that began with what was the city's first multi-specialty hospital with corporate overtones? For starting the newspaper Andhra Jyothi in 1945 and that ever-popular multi-lingual children's magazine Chandamama in 1947? Or for his connection with the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam and inspiring it to build the Vaikuntam Queue Complex that helped bring shelter to pilgrims and a great degree of order to worship?
Strange that apart from the Dada Saheb Phalke Award in 1986 for a lifetime contribution to the film industry, other National awards did not come his way.
It was in 1950 that Vijaya Productions got underway producing Sahukaru, the first of several films with social content and aimed at conveying a message. Two years later, humour was introduced to liven up the message and grab a larger audience. N.T. Rama Rao and S.V. Ranga Rao were put on the road to fame in these early Telugu films the 'Vijaya Twins made. And Sahukaru shot a young female star into the limelight, eventually to become known as 'Sowcar' Janaki. The 'Twins' made films in all the southern languages and Hindi - and won acclaim in all of them. But by the 1970s, Nagi Reddy pulled out of the film business, as much because film-making had moved out of the studios as for the fact that that inseparable friend of his, Chakrapani, had passed on. Nagi Reddy now began focussing on Vijaya Hospital, Chandamama and the numerous trusts, charities and contributions to society he was involved with. But when he passed on in 2004, it was as a 'movie mogul' that his biographers focussed on and not so much on his numerous other interests.
When the postman knocked…
Reader D.B. James, referring to P.Orr's (Miscellany, December 10) recalls that when Mihir Sen swam the Palk Strait, from Talaimanner to Dhanushkodi, in 1966, "we at the Marine Biological Association of India presented him the Sethu Cup." It was made by P.Orr & Sons. So were almost all the other trophies competed for in South India till the l970s. Curiously, Orr's were also leading gunsmiths and armourers for a long, long time. As they were also sellers of surveying and scientific instruments.
A reader wants to know what I can tell him about Butt Road. The only Butt Road that still exists, as far as I know, is the road from Nehru Circle (Kathipara Junction) leading to the foot of St. Thomas' Mount. I, however, vaguely remember a Butt Road that used to exist somewhere near Police Headquarters, but I've not been able to find any traces of it today. 'Butt' in this context derives from shooting ranges that used to exist here for rifle practice by soldiers and policemen. The long earthen mound at one end of a shooting range against which the targets are placed is called a 'butt', explaining the name.
Why was the Electric Theatre that Warwick Major and Reginald Eyre built in 1913 and which is now the Philatelic Bureau on Mount Road called by that name, another reader asks. I haven't the faintest idea, unless it was due to the fact that it ran on electricity. I'm however told by one of my helping hands that there was an Electric Theatre in the U.S. and another in the U.K. But both of them were part of "electricity works". Maybe Randor Guy or Theodore Baskaran will come up with answers to this one. My correspondent adds that Venkiah's Gaiety (Miscellany, November 12) was predated by the Lyric, a hall built for variety entertainment that in 1913 began to be used for cinema screenings at the Wallajah-Mount Road curve, the Bioscope (1911) in George Town, and the Electric in 1913. But only the Gaiety survived into modern times.

Lowe Alpine Airstream Lite Drysac Small Drybag - Orange
NewPreviously: £10.95 Now: £9.55
Over the past half century Lowe Alpine have forged a powerful reputation for themselves as providers of quality, feature-packed rucksacks and outdoor equipment, at competitive prices. It all started in 1967, when the Lowe brothers produced their first rucksacks in their Utah basement, to meet their personal demands as world-beating alpinists and climbers. These marked a break from the norm at the time of stiff and uncomfortable, externally-framed packs, instead featuring such innovations as the world's first internal frame, first adjustable back system, and first side-compression straps to name but a few.
Despite passing between multiple owners over the years, Lowe Alpine have stayed true to the Lowe brothers' original vision of creating practical, innovative products for use in multiple activities and extreme conditions. Under the ownership of Equip Outdoor Technologies, also responsible for the world-beating Rab brand, Lowe Alpine has gone from strength to strength. So whether you're backpacking, climbing or even trail running, they've got a great solution to your load-bearing needs.

Born: August 20, 1943
Enrico Rava, born in Trieste in 1939, is undoubtedly the most internationally acknowledged Italian jazzman. In forty years of his career as trumpet player, and composer, he has produced more than ninety recordings, tweny-five of which as a leader. Being a great admirer of Miles Davis and Chet Baker, his career started at an early age, when he played in clubs in Turin.
In 1962, he meets Gato Barbieriwith whom, two years later, he records the soundtrack for Montaldo's film Una bella grinta. In those years he meets Don Cherry, Mal Waldron and Steve Lacy, with whom he plays free jazz in a quartet alternating between London and Buenos Aires (it is in Argentina in 1966 that the quartet records the album The Forest and the Zoo)....

Update: 26th June 2008. Hyper-V RTM is now available. This post refers to pre-release software for Hyper-V, formerly known as Windows Server virtualization. However, there is no difference in the guidance provided in this post.
Following on from my post last week, I had some good questions asking about the difference between the SCSI adapter in Virtual Server and the SCSI controller in Windows Server virtualization. In Virtual Server 2005, the best practice is to configure Virtual Machines to boot from the SCSI adapter for performance reasons. This is not the case in Windows Server virtualization. This post takes a dip into explaining why. To start with, let's take a look at the SCSI adapter in Virtual Server
So keeping that in mind, let's compare and contrast the above with the IDE and SCSI controllers in Windows Server virtualization.
Hopefully that gives a bit more insight into why the best practice recommendation of booting from SCSI in Virtual Server no longer applies in Windows Server virtualization and why booting from IDE does not incur the same performance overhead as in Virtual Server. Cheers, John.
Very informative post here. The most interesting for WSv/Viridian/Hypervisor in Windows 2008, is the fact that the IDE virtual driver is "better" than the SCSI counterpart, which is the opposite of what the case was with Virtual Server. The part of
Like some of you know, whenever you created a new Virtual Machine with Virtual Server 2005 and selected
Like some of you know, whenever you created a superiority new Virtual Machine with Virtual Server 2005
So boot with IDE. Use SCSI for other drives?
Cannedsoda - you can only boot from IDE. For data, use either IDE or SCSI. For I/O path throughput, it will make no difference.

In fact, it includes at least 16 peaks that tower above 6000 meters (19,685 ft). Resting at their base are pristine lakes and rivers; luscious green valleys surround the magnificent snow-covered peaks. The landscapes are simply breathtaking. It should come as no surprise that the Cordillera is one of the prime spots for hiking, trekking and climbing in South America. For outdoor enthusiasts traveling to Peru, a visit to the Cordillera Blanca is certainly a must!"
