DALLAS, TX - NFL Hall of fame and former Cowboys running back Tony Dorsett is part of the host committee for Super Bowl 45. On Martin Luther King Day, he spent part of his day with a visit to St Phillips School and community center in south Dallas.
We all know what he stands for and to be here and in south Dallas, down in the community, the black community, presenting to this wonderful school $1500 dollars on behalf of Verizon, Dorsett told the student body. It's a great day.
Terry Flowers is head master at St Philips. Having the opportunity for our students to understand that's not how high you go, it's who you take with you and the importance of giving back to the community and staying connected and creating in the mindset with students that even with success, comes responsibility to serve, Flowers says. That ties right into the message that Martin Luther King has for us all.
Before Dorsett read to the students, he told them When you read, you learn, when you learn, you grow.
His visit was part of Verizon's45 days to Super Bowl XLV.
Dreaming of a change, Dorsett quoted from a book about Martin Luther King. He wanted everyone to be treated the same. He wanted the world to be fair to everyone.
Later in an art class, he helped the kids create artistic tributes to Martin Luther King. The Super Bowl is coming to North Texas and since the Cowboys aren't in the playoffs, guess who Dorsett is pulling for now?
Where am I from? Dorsett asked. Oh there is a town called Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Yeah, they have a team called the Pittsburgh Steelers. If I was a betting man, that's where my coin would be. If it couldn't be Dallas, my hearts in Pittsburgh.
Like so many folks in North Texas, Dorsett can't wait for Super Bowl XLV to begin but the demands on his time are beginning to pile up.
The old saying, they do it big in Texas, they're going to do it huge in Texas, Dorsett says. I don't know if I m going to be fired up come the super bowl only because I m being pulled in so many different directions. Everybody wants this and everybody wants that and they feel that me being in Dallas, and I m on host committee, I played for the Dallas Cowboys, they think I ve got tickets, they think I ve got hotels, they think I ve got restaurants. they think I ve got it all.

Names Palvai, Renuka Chowdary, Anand Bhaskar and K. Chiranjeevi
The Congress' central leadership sprang a surprise by nominating senior Telangana leader Palvai Goverdhan Reddy and APCC general secretary Rapolu Anand Bhaskar as the party candidates, who were not at all in the reckoning.
Former Union Minister Renuka Chowdary and erstwhile Praja Rajyam chief K. Chiranjeevi are the other two nominees. Loyalty to AICC president, Sonia Gandhi appeared to have played key role in finalisation of these candidates.
Mr. Chiranjeevi was named as the nominee as part of the agreement he had with the high command after merging his party.
Mr. Anand Bhaskar, a BC leader from Padmasali community is a close aide of former PCC chief D. Srinivas and a key figure at Gandhi Bhavan, the Congress party headquarters. Ms. Chowdary's proximity to Ms. Gandhi and demand that representation be given to the Kamma community seems to have led to her selection.
Party leaders maintained that the high command had the final say in the selection while the Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy and APCC chief Botcha Satyanarayana had little role.
TDP nominees
Meanwhile, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) finalised the names of C.M. Ramesh and T. Devender Goud as its candidates for the Rajya Sabha elections.
Keywords: Palvai, Renuka Chowdary, Anand Bhaskar, Chiranjeevi, Rajya Sabha nomination

I already have a bottle of Jivago 24K that I bought a few years ago, however I was using it sparingly because it is pretty spendy. I was beyond happy when I saw that frangrance. net carried it at a fraction of the cost. When it arrived I couldn't believe that it was the exact same perfume and the price was less than half of what I paid for it in the past. Thank you.

I have never had so many MEN compliment me on this perfume!!! My absolute favorite and for some reason I can't find it anywhere else but here!!!! LOVE IT!!!
Written by Maggie on January 08, 2014Read Review details ►
Best Perfume for any woman out there! As a man, I can tell when a woman walks into a room wearing 'only' this one. It has such a distinctive, beautiful smell. Never 'overpowering' , 'not too flower-y at all;' and very 'classy' and 'alluring!' Men.., if you want to impress your girlfriends, wives, mothers, any women that you care about..; buy them this one; Jivago 24K ! They will love you for it.
Written by Miguelito on October 14, 2013Read Review details ►
I have loved this perfume for years but it was always so expensive to buy. It always brings me alot of compliments because of all the different unusual scents it has in it. I absolutely love it! Powdery and light but not to floral and a little woodsy mysterious. Definitely very elegant.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Updated Jan 10, 2013 - 1:46 pm
Arizona State's 2013 football schedule announced
The Pac-12 has announced the football schedule for 2013, and Arizona State's looks like this:
9/7/13 vs. Sacramento State
9/14/13 vs. Wisconsin
9/21/13 at Stanford
9/28/13 vs. USC
10/5/13 vs. Notre Dame (at Cowboys Stadium)
10/12/13 vs. Colorado
10/19/13 vs. Washington
10/31/13 at Washington State
11/9/13 at Utah
11/16/13 vs. Oregon State
11/23/13 at UCLA
11/30/13 vs. Arizona
It's not an easy schedule for the Sun Devils in 2013, with Big Ten champion Wisconsin and BCS runners-up Notre Dame both appearing.
In fact, a four-game stretch vs. Wisconsin, at Stanford, vs. USC and vs. Notre Dame from mid-September to early-October could very well define the Sun Devils' season.
In addition, the Sun Devils have just one non-Saturday game -- Thursday, October 31 against Washington State in Pullman.
ASU also has two byes with the first coming in Week 1 and then another October 26, following the Washington game in Tempe.

Best answer as chosen by user Smellslike1974: About the tape.
by R. Proffitt - 3/15/13 8:18 AM
In Reply to: RCA Autoshot error/malfunctions by Smellslike1974
If it can be brought back for a reasonable amount of money, my money is on cleaning the metal, rubber and plastic rollers that do the tape handling. If that does not fix that tape issue then I know to not send it to repair but locate a replacement player or camcorder. This is my advice on that.
However I see prior discussions on the error message and it will mean the repair center and frankly repair tends to be same/more than replacements unless this is some professional model.
The battery issue

From loyal BJP leader to arch rival, there has been a strong call for further investigations into the Gopinath Munde's road accident that occurred on Tuesday morning. Munde was en route to Indira Gandhi International airport to take a flight to Mumbai when his car was involved in a collision with another car, an Indica, which had jumped the traffic signal at Aurobindo Chowk.
The circumstances of the death have raise suspicion and speculations of a conspiracy have floated the political space since the accident.
Even though, earlier the BJP Maharashtra had clarified its stand on the issue by stating that the demand for a CBI probe was only from individual leaders and not the collective demand of the party. They termed it "as emotional outburst" by certain leaders. However, there were many strong calls for intensive investigation from across the party's hierarchy.
His sudden demise did come as a big blow to the BJP, especially since the party is preparing to fight the Assembly elections in October 2014.
BJP leaders such as Prakash Anna Shengde and Awadhut Wagh claim that it is impossible that such an accident can just happen, and are calling his accident to be a conspiracy, and have gone to the extent to demand a CBI probe.
In a statement, Wagh said, "Unless an inquiry is done, we won't be satisfied. People think this could be a conspiracy. Although I am not a policeman to decide whether it was an accident, and to inquire on this matter is the job of police, I would just like to add that Mundeji used to travel in a high security vehicle with guards, how come he was in a normal car?" Read more
It was not just Munde's comrades, but also his arch rivals who have asked that the accident be probed by the top most investigative body. In rather surprising move, NCP chief Sharad Pawar asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to initiate a CBI probe into the death of former Rural Development Minister Gopinath Munde to bring out the "facts". "It is my view that their demand for CBI probe may be considered and accepted by the government as this would bring out the facts and assuage their feelings," he said in his letter. Read more
READ: Remembering Gopinath Munde, the man who stood by BJP till his death
Protests were even held in Munde's home town of Beed. As grief gave way to anger, a section of the crowd indulged in stone pelting at the Vaijyanath Co-operative Sugar Factory ground where the funeral took place. Some agitated supporters went on a rampage, with the demand of a probe into union minister's death. The supporters torched police vans, other vehicles and gheraoed Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan's car, while he was on his way to a helipad. Read more
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on the other hand, is believed to be considering these demands for the CBI probe. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi will decide the course of action on the matter. "Yesterday, I spoke to the Prime Minister and Munde's family. It is the Prime Minister who will decide the proper course of action on the matter and truth will prevail," he stated. Read more

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds
By Tom Sellar
Compassion, of course, is endemic to the plays of Athol Fugard, who has taken us across South Africa's Karoo plain many times before. Thanks to him, we know this landscape all too well. We know, too, that it can shift disconcertingly from the actual plain to the allegorical plane: When a South African writes a play like The Blood Knot, in which a white man and a black man, half-brothers, jointly occupy a house they've inherited, the house is as much symbolic as real. Sorrows and Rejoicings goes back to the symbolic house, but now the allegorical state is the new South Africa, where the government has been freely elected by all the people; the bitter memories live on, but legalized "apart-hate" is over. The old play's quest for love between brothers of different races has been replaced by the recollection of an exiled poet's search for male-female love, divided between a childless white wife of English descent and a black African mistress who has born him a daughter with feelings as mixed as her genetic heritage. You'll never guess who inherits the house.
Dramatized against the backdrop of the new South Africa, with its terrifying birth pangs and traumatic heritage, this could have made exciting drama. But Fugard, who has often used storytelling frameworks cannily in the past, flatly declines here to do any dramatizing at all. Everything's narrated; there are narrations within the narrations; even the climax is set up as a series of narrations. The new South Africa is often alluded to, but never brought to life; the production's physical backdrop is another of Susan Hilferty's lovely scumbled renderings of the same old veldt. Of the omnipresent poverty, the skyrocketing crime rate, the nightmarish AIDS mess, the return of old tribal rivalries in vicious new political guises, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the desperate strivings, and the thousand and one tiny signs of hope in the midst of horrorof all these the play contains not one peep. Well, one: the climax itself. And even that is centered on the white characters' generosity.
Further Than the Furthest Thing
By Zinnie Harris
Manhattan Theater Club
131 West 55th Street
For the rest, the play is sealed off from reality, as if Fugard thought that locking it in the past would guarantee its timelessness. He dwells on his nostalgia for the veldt and the village to a degree approaching fixation. (One of the hero's poems consists entirely of a string of Afrikaans names.) Even the characters are reduced to types in comparison, their stories fuzzed into incoherence. The hero has apparently published enough to provoke a banning order from the Verwoerd government, but somehow manages to leave the bulk of his oeuvre behind, unpublished, when he goes into exile. This part of his legacy goes up in smoke. There's no glimpse of the English and American publishers, readers, and media-makers who would, in those days, have been desperately eager for the works of a banned South African poet. Does Fugard think that he himself became internationally celebrated by accident, or that history has swept his achievements under the rug? That implies a self-pity unbecoming in a writer of his stature. Yes, the reality that surrounds his plays has shifted: Our previous theatrical trips to his country were both tourist voyages and fact-finding missions; the tension between the two purposes could give the event tremendous force. Now the facts are all in, but the agony at the core of his earlier plays is still fresh and true, still mirroring the reality of racisms the world over. This barely seems to matter to Fugard, who touches the live drama of his theme here only at the very end, when the tormented daughter speaks.
The greatest puzzle is how eager Fugard seems to reduce his characters to their most obvious traits, so that they come out sounding alarmingly like the people in countless other works about isolated small towns. The daydreamy village poet destroyed by big-city life; the intelligent, urbanized wife whose devotion can't rescue him; the fiercely loyal servant, shunned by the villagers for bearing his child, who guards the empty house like a tigress till his returnwe learned to anticipate their moves long before Fugard wrote; if we knew the Afrikaans words they toss around, we could supply most of their dialogue. As if in acknowledgment, Fugard's direction has pushed a normally first-rate actor, John Glover, into a performance of almost Pavlovian predictability as the poet. The luckier females encircling him, given equally trite but better-grounded material, come off less painfully: Judith Light grants the English wife a smooth simulacrum of believability; Marcy Harriel, as the daughter, handles the play's tiny mite of actual drama movingly. And Charlayne Woodard, called on to do all the emotional heavy lifting, carries out her wearisome task with consummate power, dignity, and heart-twisting conviction. Even she, though, can't lift this stodgy event into theatrical life. What's most astonishing is that Fugard, with all his experience of the world and the theater, should settle for so little of this new reality. It's as if time and travel had not broadened his spirit; the saddest aspect of Sorrows and Rejoicings is that it makes this world-class figure seem, of all things, provincial.

Nice hotel, poor location.
Hotel was lovely, unfortunately the area in which it is located is unsafe and too far out for a city sightseeing holiday.
It was a 20 minute walk to the Metro train station (if you can find it) then 3 stops to the main Termini. There are a number of bars behind the hotel, however, we felt very unsafe as the street was full of people congregating taking drugs etc, we were followed back to the hotel one of the nights.

Like the telephone before it, television has been an instrument for overcoming American loneliness. Think of the farm wives of a century ago who suddenly could hear another voice without having to travel into town. And now think of the windows of today's city apartments late at night, flickering in rows with the little screen's light. Even piled on top of one another, we're alone--and are all the more willing to be so, knowing that Leno or Captain Picard will come to visit without fail. That's technology for you: It aggravates what it relieves.
Ron Howard understands this better than you or I, because television made him. He came of age playing a lovable kid with a Southern accent; and now that he's grown up and switched to film and become a high-ticket director, he has revisited the enabling, disabling tube. In EDtv, aided by writers Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, he tells the story of television's effect on another funny kid with a Southern drawl.
The new boy should have grown up a while ago but didn't. Though now in his early 30s, he still dresses much as he did in high school, has no companion steadier than a pool-shooting buddy and for a living clerks in a video store, where he raises the employees' median age by twelve years. This case of arrested development is Ed (Matthew McConaughey); and when television enters his life directly, it does not do so to make him lovable. According to Cynthia (Ellen DeGeneres), a program developer for the San Francisco-based True TV channel, Ed deserves to be given real-time, twenty-four-hour-a-day stardom because he's like a wreck you pass on the highway. You look his way because you hope and fear to see a severed head.
Such is the premise of EDtv, which outwardly might be confused with The Truman Show, or Albert Brooks's Real Life. Inwardly, though, EDtv feels like The Revenge of Opie. Or is it a revenge on Opie?
In effect, that fictive double of Ron Howard has moved from network and the rural past into cable and the modern city, where omnipresent cameras reveal his Mayberry folks to be a gallery of grotesques. His brother (Woody Harrelson) would eat roadkill and feel clever about it, having saved some money; his mother (Sally Kirkland) couldn't tell you the time of day without lying; his stepfather (Martin Landau), a violator of every standard of Southern propriety, has been assembled from the spare parts of old Jewish bathroom jokes; and his biological father (whose face should not be revealed too soon) has about one day job between himself and the men's shelter. Ed himself differs from these people only in being sweet-natured. That's difference enough for him to seem comforting to millions of viewers, for whom he's the televised visitor as lowest common denominator.
Television relieves loneliness; television enforces loneliness. To the people who watch Ed day and night, the main action lies in his blossoming romance with a perky UPS driver named Shari (Jenna Elfman). Cynthia's cameras unexpectedly bring Ed and Shari together; but then, by their presence, the cameras rule out further intimacy. So the TV show forbids what it promises, becoming a drama of sexual and emotional frustration, followed by people who forgo their own sexual and emotional lives for the pleasure of watching Ed's. Can television solve this problem of its own creation? Of course not--but it can simulate a solution. It contrives a new, fake intimacy for Ed, using an actress (Elizabeth Hurley) who always knows which of the cameras has the red light.
Much of the fun of EDtv comes from seeing how Ed and the other characters play to the television camera, treating it as accomplice, mirror, confidante, intruder, conduit or billboard. So would you; so would we all. Another part of the fun comes from the performers--particularly McConaughey and Elfman, who are blessed with the looks of stars and the dispositions of character actors. You will perhaps forgive the movie for offering yet another representation of humanity as tall, thin and blond, given the way these two get lost in one another, to the point that they seem oblivious of being gorgeous. (This turns into an explicit joke with Elfman, who ordinarily makes her living as a sexy TV star. Midway through the film, her Shari is judged to be insufficiently sexy to live on TV.) Moving outward to the frame story, we also get the pleasure of seeing Ellen DeGeneres fume and fast-talk her way through the role of the mysteriously celibate Cynthia: someone who is too female to succeed in TV, the medium to which (unfortunately) she is perfectly adapted.
Jump outward again, past the frame story, and you're in the real world of Ron Howard. He turns out to be a great jumper of frames himself. Howard moves along EDtv in glides and near-invisible cuts, which shuttle you fluently between the action inside the TV set and events outside; and with each crossover, he provides a small jolt of recognition. (Cynthia, who ought to know better, protests when she sees herself on video: "I don't sound like that. Do I?") Howard's command of mainstream movie technique has never been surer; his artistic ambitions (though no higher than before) are engaged with a new immediacy. He's found something he cares about, some reason to connect with an audience.
Take it as faint praise if you must, but EDtv is Ron Howard's best film.
I had just got home from watching EDtv when my spiritual adviser, Rabbi Simcha Feffeferman, phoned from Congregation Anshe Tsurres, eager to know whether Andrew Klavan might be my cousin. "He's somebody's cousin," I said, "but not mine. Why?"
"It says here in the newspaper, he wrote this True Crime novel, the one from the Clint Eastwood movie."
"Actually, the movie's from the novel--I mean, based on the novel. I suppose you've called to discuss it?"
"He's very good, this Eastwood. You know, the movie about the innocent man on death row--I remember when D.W. Griffith made it. And do you know where Griffith went, so he should see a real death row? San Quentin! The same as Eastwood."
"Rabbi, are you talking about Intolerance?"
"With Mae Marsh. Wonderful talents she had. But Griffith, the way he hated shvartzers! This I never liked with him. Whereas Eastwood, who acts so tough, he turns out to be the haimish one. Centuries of oppression, of heartache, of endurance in the face of the most relentless----"
"Yes, I understand. True Crime is about a black man on death row--played by Isaiah Washington, who's wonderful. And Eastwood plays the reporter for the Oakland Tribune who guesses, a little more than twelve hours before the execution will take place, that the man is innocent."
"Such a good movie, almost. I like the way you see the two families, the convicted man's and the reporter's, and they're both going kaput. The reporter, he ought to be able to help himself, but he can't. He's too much of a mess already. And the man who's going to die, he's learned to help himself, but how can he do it now? So sad, so true, so human. You could fall right into this movie, until the last fifteen minutes."
"Well, endings."
"And you say he's not your cousin, this Klavan. These other writers, with their screenplay: Larry Gross, Paul Brickman, Stephen Schiff. You're related, maybe?"
"Not to my knowledge."
"Except, of course, they're Jewish."
"That's family in a different sense. Look, why do you keep asking these questions? I have no relation to these people."
"No? I'll give you relation. Fifteen minutes from the end, the reporter suddenly turns into this hero who can drive like crazy. And a woman who used to hate just the look of him, she decides she's his friend. And like D.W. Griffith, at the very last second, guess what? It takes four Jewish writers to decide all this?"
"So, to sum up your critique: True Crime is a thoughtful and affecting drama that sells out to convention at the end."
"This, boychik, would be your critique. I say, True Crime is a shame on the Jews."
Department of self-criticism: Several weeks ago, I praised as fulsomely as I know how the debut feature by Erick Zonca, The Dreamlife of Angels. This was a mistake, on two levels. First, my praise was insufficient. Zonca's story of two young French working-class women, neither of whom works much, is both extraordinarily fine and extraordinarily elusive. Unable to bring its wonders to life on the page, I could merely point in their direction, hoping you would search out the film.
Which brings me to the second mistake: I didn't double-check the release date and so ran the review in advance. For those of you who may have looked about in puzzlement, wondering which theater to call, my apologies. The film isn't that elusive. The Dreamlife of Angels can now be seen in the United States--and should be, as soon as possible.

ClassicsOnline Home » AUSTEN, J.: Pride and Prejudice (Abridged)
'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.' So opens this famous novel which has become Jane Austen's best-loved and best-known work. Here, all her talents combined to create not only a wonderful love story, but dialogue that sparkles with wit and irony, an ingenious and compelling plot, and some of the most unforgettable characters ever created.
Jane Austen's Life
1775 Born on 16 December in Steventon, Hampshire, England, sixth in a large family with six brothers and one sister. Her father was Revd William George Austen.
1783 Went with her younger sister Cassandra to be privately educated first in Oxford then Southampton where she survived typhus.
1785 Continued education at boarding school but returned the following year because of financial hardship. Finished education by reading books from her father's large library.
1787 Earliest examples of juvenilia date from this time: she wrote poems, stories and plays. She copied them into notebooks and added to them throughout her life.
1793–1795 Wrote Lady Susan, an epistolary novel which shows much of the character and wit which made her so admired, even in her own lifetime.
1796 According to Cassandra's later recollections, a novel called Elinor and Marianne was read to the family before this date.
1797 Her father sent First Impressions (a first draft of Pride and Prejudice) to a publisher, but it was 'Declined by Return of Post'.
1798 A revision of Elinor and Marianne was completed and it was renamed Sense and Sensibility. And she began working on Northanger Abbey, her satire on the Gothic novel which was originally called Susan.
1800 Jane Austen's father retired and moved the family to Bath.
1805 Her father died leaving Jane, Cassandra and their mother in a difficult financial situation.
1809 The three moved to Chawton House, owned by Edward Austen, Jane's older brother.
1811 October Sense and Sensibility became the first novel to be published, by Thomas Egerton. It was not ascribed to Jane Austen: on the title page it was proclaimed: 'By A Lady'. It was well received and the print run sold out by 1813.
1814 Mansfield Park was published.
1815 Jane Austen visited the Prince Regent (an admirer of her work) at his request and agreed (somewhat reluctantly) to dedicate her next novel, Emma, to him.
1815 Emma was published by the London publisher John Murray.
1816 Persuasion published.
1816 Financial disaster hit the Austen family when Henry Austen's bank failed. Jane began to show signs of illness.
1817 Despite ill-health, she started Sanditon.
1817 Jane Austen died on 18 July, aged 41, perhaps of Hodgkinson's disease. She was buried in Winchester Cathedral.
1820 All the novels fell out of print.
1832 The publisher Richard Bentley bought all the copyrights and reprinted the novels. They have remained in print ever since.

Former BJP national president Nitin Gadkari's meeting with MNS chief Raj Thackeray has created turmoil within the Shiv Sena-BJP led 'Mahayuti' (grand alliance) with the Sena warning that such overtures may affect their alliance in the Lok Sabha polls.
Over lunch at a five-star hotel on Monday, Gadkari requested the MNS chief to desist from contesting the Lok Sabha polls to prevent a split in the anti-incumbency vote.
In the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, the MNS contested 12 seats and the vote-split led to the Sena-BJP's defeat in nine seats. However, Gadkari's outreach did not go down well with the Sena.
"There is unease in Maharashtra. We have launched a front against Raj Thackeray and (NCP chief) Sharad Pawar. However, if senior BJP leaders talk to them and openly support them, this will affect fortunes of our grand alliance," warned Sena Rajya Sabha MP and spokesperson Sanjay Raut, adding that the MNS was not welcome in the Mahayuti.
"The Shiv Sena and BJP will defeat the Congress-NCP in Maharashtra," said Raut, adding that the MNS was a "closed chapter."
"Uddhav Thackeray made an attempt (at reconciliation)... since there was no response, the chapter is closed," said Raut, adding that Maharashtrian votes were firmly with the Sena.
After the Sena made its anger clear, BJP Maharashtra chief Devendra Fadnavis met Uddhav late on Monday wherein Uddhav is said to have minced no words and insisted that the BJP's decision regarding Maharashtra be taken only by senior leader and former deputy chief minister Gopinath Munde, who is Gadkari's rival in the BJP.
On Tuesday, the Sena mouthpiece Saamna which has Uddhav as the editor, front paged a statement by him criticising the "communication gap" in the BJP.
A senior BJP leader admitted that they could not afford to ally with the MNS considering the adverse impact in the Hindi belt due to Raj's anti-migrant stance. He added that they could bank on Raj to support the BJP's prime ministerial nominee Narendra Modi if MNS MPs were elected.
An Uddhav aide pointed out that Gadkari's outreach to Raj was part of a larger BJP plan to contain the Sena and replace it as the dominant partner in the alliance. The BJP is already the principal opposition in the two Houses of the legislature.
"It's easy to bridge political differences but not family or personal ones. Uddhav and Raj may never like to work together. However, Raj may lose miserably in the Lok Sabha polls as much of his charisma seems to have worn off," he added.
The MNS is likely to announce its stance on March 9 — its eighth foundation day. MNS MLA Bala Nandgaonkar said a decision would be taken by Raj himself and claimed that the MNS had a ready list of Lok Sabha candidates for Maharashtra.
A Sena source said repeated overtures by the BJP to the MNS were creating confusion among the cadres. "There is little chance of Uddhav and Raj allying now. Uddhav wants to show that he has established his leadership after Balasaheb's death while Raj wants to project himself as the real inheritor of his uncle's legacy," he added.

Stockholm-based White Arkitekter Wins FAR ROC Design Competition
Wednesday, October 23, 2013
Nicole Anderson.
Sweden-based firm White Arkitekter has been named the winner of the "For a Resilient Rockaway" (FAR ROC) design competition. The team's winning proposal, Small Means & Great End, offers a set of design strategies to transform an empty swath of land, known as Averne East, along the Rockaways in Queens, New York into a resilient, mixed-use community.
The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), along with private developers and the AIA New York Chapter, shortlisted four finalists back in July, including Ennead Architects, Lateral Office, and Seeding Office.
Farewell to the Famed Graffiti Haven: 5Pointz Demolition Moves Ahead
Wednesday, October 9, 2013
Nicole Anderson.
It is the end of an era. The New York City Council voted in a favor of a plan to demolish the iconic 5Pointz, the former manufacturing building-turned-graffiti-mecca, in Long Island City, Queens, to make way for a $400 million residential development. The New York Times reported that the Wolkoff family, the owner and developer of the property, will build two residential towers—one of which will climb up to 47 stories—consisting all together of 1,000 units.
Graffiti Mecca in Queens to be Replaced by Residential Towers
Thursday, August 22, 2013
Nicole Anderson.
The former record needle and clothing manufacturing building, 5 Pointz, in Long Island City, Queens, is one of the few remaining refuges for graffiti art in New York City. For the last two decades, aerosol artists have flocked to this 200,000-square-foot warehouse to exhibit their work. But now the graffiti art mecca is one step closer to being demolished and replaced by two 47 and 41 story residential towers. In spite of Queens Community Board 2's opposition to the plan, the City Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve a special permit that would allow developer G&M Realty to build a larger structure than permitted by the existing zoning. DNAinfo reported that Queens Borough President Helen Marshall also came out in favor of the plan with the stipulation that the development include 75 affordable housing units and studio space for artists.

Astoria may soon rival its neighbor, Long Island City, as the next major residential waterfront community in Queens. In a unanimous vote, the City Planning Commission has given developer Lincoln Equities Group the green light to move forward with a $1 billion residential housing development on Hallets Point peninsula.
DNAinfo reported that the project would include 2,161 market-rate and 483 affordable apartments as well as a public esplanade along the East River, retail, supermarket, and possibly a public school in NYCHA's adjacent Astoria Houses campus.
Jamaica Bay To Serve as Model for Research on Climate Change and Flood Protection
Tuesday, August 13, 2013
Nicole Anderson.
Spreading out across 10,000 acres of parkland, Jamaica Bay in Queens, New York will now serve as the focus of a new science and resilience institute spearheaded by the City University of New York (CUNY) to understand how urban ecosystems respond to changing weather patterns and global warming. The CUNY-led research consortium, temporarily housed on Brooklyn College's campus, will collaborate with other leading New York institutions to study the efficacy of natural flood protections, such as dunes and salt marshes, in safeguarding New York's coastline. These findings will benefit and be applicable to other cities and regions that are vulnerable to flooding as sea levels rise and storms become more frequent and powerful.
New York City Asks For Help Redesigning the Hurricane-Ravaged Boardwalk in the Rockaways
Thursday, August 8, 2013
Nicole Anderson.
Even as New Yorkers throng to the beaches in the Rockaways, the remnants from Hurricane Sandy still linger. One such vestige is the damaged boardwalk that once stretched from Far Rockaway to Rockaway Park in Queens. The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation with the help of the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in July seeking designs for the 4.7-mile boardwalk, and now the August 14th deadline is nearing.
Four Finalists Imagine a More Resilient Rockaways in the Far Roc Competition
Friday, July 19, 2013
Nicole Anderson.
Four teams of architects have been selected to envision new possibilities for a long stretch of vacant land along the Sandy-battered coast in the Rockaways. The ideas presented at Thursday's announcement range from practical resiliency tactics to creative design solutions such as dune sand filters, elevated undulating boardwalks, and clusters of low-rise and mid-rise housing.
The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) along with private developers and the American Institute of Architects New York Chapter, launched the Far Roc Competition back in April to generate proposals to turn an 80-plus-acre site, called Averne East, into a resilient mixed-use waterfront community. The competition calls on architects to think expansively about the challenges facing the Rockaways and come up with a multi-layered proposals that offer concrete ideas for sustainable mixed-income housing, flood protection measures, and recreation and park land.

Nick Miller.
While it certainly won't be as terrifying as a Godzilla or King Kong tearing through city streets, what you might call Kitty Kong will be pawing through a model of an imagined ideal city at the Flux Factory in Long Island City, Queens, beginning Saturday. Developed by a team of children, artists, and city planners, the Flux Factory's Kitty City project is an intergenerational experiment in collaborative urbanism, designed to teach kids the way cities get built, encourage democratic decision making, and challenge the opacity of urban planning processes.

maintenance on a 990 adv

I'm not a very good mechanic, or am comfortable doing maintenance on my bike. Unfortunately, I don't have that skill, I enjoy to ride the machine! My journey will take me through some remote stretches of Canada, and I want to make sure that the machine I chose is not only capable, but reliable to get me, my passenger, and gear across and back without being stuck in the middle of nowhere. Many people are giving me mixed messages about the 990 ADV, saying "It's not a good bike for the journey 2-UP Especially!" "Parts, are difficult to find" "Maintenance, is tough to perform on these especailly on the road, AND not just anybody can work on KTM's" "You need to baby it, because its such a HI-PO machine, you can't ride it the way you ride any other bike"
With all of these things being said, I'm not sure what to make of the KTM? I love and respect what it can do, but are all of these said things true? Is it the right machine for my XC journey 2-up. Is it 100% dirt biased? That's why I pose these questions to the KTM OWNERS and RIDERS to help me figure out if this machine is the weapon of choice for my battle.
