Manny Pacquiao is making Floyd look pathetic without doing or saying anything
By Superstar Billy Graham
Now Boxing
March 27, 2011
On an Espn radio show with Carmen, Junko and Harry, Floyd Mayweather was their guest and of course they spoke about Manny Pacquiao and asked the most obvious question when will Floyd finally fight Manny Pacquiao.
From what The Superstar heard and the 3 host heard is something quite disturbing for Floyd fans. Floyd Mayweather absolutely has an inferiority complex against Manny Pacquiao. He brought up that he is an American and Americans should not support a foreigner like Manny Pacquiao. Floyd began spouting red, white, and blue colors and feels his birth country is against him. Why is the good ol***8217; USA against Floyd? Most Americans are against Floyd due to him being such an egotistical, narcissistic self absorbed trash talking foul mouthed SOB. He has never tried to endear himself to the American public. How can anyone be loved when practically every word that comes out of his mouth is laced with profanity especially his favorite word something resembling an Oedipus complex. Someone should tell Floyd making that racist homophobic video against Manny will not get people to give ***8220;LOVE***8221; or the support he is trying and begging to get. Floyd doesn***8217;t get it. Don***8217;t beg or demand for support. People will support you when you demonstrate great unselfishness and gratitude.
Then Floyd goes on mentioning of course Manny being defeated 3 times, which is so pointless now. Has Manny***8217;s 3 defeats hindered his growth to becoming the number one pound for pound fighter in the world? Fortunately the Boxing Writers Association of America did not hold the 3 defeats against Manny Pacquiao when they awarded ***8220;The Pacman***8221; fighter of the decade. But Floyd obviously will hold that over Manny***8217;s head. It is his only recourse to convince people or the boxing public he is superior to Manny. Fortunately most people with sanity and appreciation for the sport of boxing understand those 3 defeats are so pointless. It is about as pointless as Floyd***8217;s 6 losses in his amateur days.
The next response from Floyd is the most alarming and should really hit the head to all Floyd fans. Hopefully it may knock some sense into them. Floyd clearly made it crystal clear that he fights for himself and not for boxing. Not for boxing fans and that***8217;s including Floyd fans as well. He goes on to say he***8217;s the one who pays his bill not his fans. The private school for which his children go to is not paid by his fans. Which is totally false and also insulting. The fans are the ones who fill his pockets with money and without the fans he won***8217;t be making those huge bets in basketball and football games. He won***8217;t be strutting around with those $500 designer jeans and riding around in his custom Bentley. Without fans, there is no boxing. This is total disrespect to every boxing fan, especially the die hard boxing fans who are doling out money to buy Floyd***8217;s PPV fights. We are all for Floyd to supporting his family but we as boxing fans are just asking Floyd Mayweather to give back to boxing and boxing will pay him well. Boxing is not telling or asking Floyd to fight for free. Boxing is asking Floyd to give back by fighting Manny Pacquiao. But Floyd clearly made his point over again that he is in it only for himself. Not for boxing. Not for his fans. And certainly NOT FOR ALL BOXING FANS. But then Floyd questions why people are so supportive of Manny Pacquiao while they are against him. His answers clearly gave the exact reason why not just Americans but most boxing fans around the world despise Floyd. He wants the support of Americans especially from American boxing fans but he will not fight for American boxing fans and for boxing, PERIOD. Floyd is questioning Americas and boxing fans loyalty but clearly made his point and stand, he doesn***8217;t fight for his fans or for boxing. While Manny***8217;s concern is not so much of his performance but giving great entertainment to all boxing fans. Manny wants to give honor to his country, boxing and it fans. While Floyd doesn***8217;t, and he clearly made that point.
The final words from Floyd, Floyd said Manny is a media creation. Media creation? Like it was the media who elected Manny as a Congressman? Was it the media who created Manny***8217;s poverty stricken background? Was it media creation when young Manny was living homeless? Was it media creation when Manny was only eating one meal a day? Was it media creation when Manny had to leave home because according to Dionisia Pacquiao ***8220;Manny left home because he believed I could not afford to take care of him***8221;. The fact is, Manny has gotten attention by his accomplishment in and out of boxing. From growing up in a poverty stricken land to becoming and acknowledged by his peers as the best fighter in the world. While Floyd may have some champion belts and money in his bank account, he still doesn***8217;t hold a simple High School Diploma. While Manny was able to get his high school equivalency. Furthered his education by getting a college degree in Business Economics and also an honorary degree in Humanities. Now Manny Pacquiao is spearheading the first hospital in his province of Sarangani. Is that media creation? No it is not. This creation was created by Manny***8217;s hard work, sacrifice, and dedication. And from God. It is so interesting Floyd is so consumed with Manny***8217;s accomplishments. How come Floyd is so compelled to question Manny***8217;s accomplishments? How come Floyd feels the need to discredit Manny? Manny is not the one who laces is comments with extreme profanity. Why is Floyd expending so much energy trying to taint Manny***8217;s legacy? Manny Pacquiao is not taking money out of his pocket. Manny Pacquiao is not the one who is attacking or making offensive racist videos. In fact, Manny has not done anything to offend Floyd. While contrary to Floyd, who is clearly the one making all the noise. The ugly green monster has finally reared its head on Floyd Mayweather Jr.
If Floyd wants to see for himself why most Americans won***8217;t support him, maybe he should watch this video:

Yada Yada Yada, no one cares...well I can't exactly say that because the only people that care think Pacquiao is the 2nd coming to Jesus Christ.

Pacquiao went from being a well respected fighter by most American boxing fans, to basically being considered a ***** by his own actions.

Floyd truly is an idiot. The lack of a high school diploma really shows everytime he opens his mouth. How can he ask for the support of the U.S. fans when just a moment later pretty much tells his fans "**** you"?
The guy doesn't think when he speaks. He doesn't think when he does anything besides boxing; the only thing he shows intelligence in.

This is the second part of the Lord of the Rings series. I love the book. New characters were brought into the book. I love the battles that take place in the book.
With the Fellowship broken, a necessary but regrettable event, Tolkien loses some of the mystery and wonder of the previous book. The remainder of the story is told only in spurts, not as a whole in a chronological, whole way. So, we follow Strider, Legolas, and Gimli as they try to recover the Hobbits, Pippin and Merry, from the Orc horde that has captured them. Tolkien tells the story from individual perspectives, never marrying up the stories until the Fellowship can get together and compare notes, if at all. And then, in the latter half of the book, he returns us to Frodo and Sam's journey.
While the individual stories are still masterful, there is always a sense of impatience and longing to get back to the other characters, or to put their stories together with the one you're reading to make complete sense of the whole.
There are certainly high points in the narrative – the battle of Helm's deep, with Legolas and Gimli notching kills to beat the others total and Faragorn's tense palaver with Frodo. But perhaps the best piece of Tolkien's story is the internal battle played out in the mind of Gollum/Smeagol. When he's first described by Gandalf in Bags End, there is a sense that he is a complicated and tragic character. But the breaking of his psyche in these pages is masterful storytelling.
It is in [The Two Towers] that Tolkien's obsession with the depth and breadth of his world really begins to emerge. Surely, the story would not be the same monumental accomplishment without Tolkien's attention to such minute and far-reaching detail. But the task sometimes breaks his focus and allows the story to lose momentum.
Bottom Line: With the dissolution of the fellowship, however necessary, Tolkien loses something – though, it's just a small loss.
4 ½ bones!!!!!
**If you haven't read the book, just skip this review. I tried to avoid spoilers, but there is just too much to talk about.**
The Two Towers has always been the slowest book in the trilogy for me, but it also contains some of my favorite scenes. I particularly adore the Ents and Lady Eowyn. The book is split between three separate stories: Merry and Pippin's, Aragorn, Leogalos and Gimli's, and Frodo, Gollum and Sam's. But unlike the movie, we don't switch back-and-forth between each story. We hear about the first two groups' stories in their entirety and then the second half of the book is devoted to Frodo and Sam's story. Their tale is at times exhausting, just in the way that their journey must have been.
At the beginning we see the fellowship split apart. Merry and Pippin are taken by orcs; Frodo and Sam leave on their own to take the Ring to Mordor. Boromir is killed by orcs while defending the hobbits and Leogalos, Gimli and Aragorn follow the orcs trail to rescue Merry and Pippin.
Merry and Pippin finally escape in Fangorn forest and meet Treebeard. He is one of my favorite characters in any book. He is so thoughtful with his "Hum ho hum boom barooms." It's Merry and Pippin's role in the story to bring the ents into the War of the Ring. When they discover how Saruman has been destroying their trees they are furious and ent anger is no joke. I did think it was interesting that the ents say it was the elves who gave them their wisdom. I also love their names: Leaflock and Skinbark.
Meanwhile Leogalos, Gimli and Aragorn meet the Rohirrim. They also encounter a wizard that they think is Saruman. When they realize it's actually Gandalf the relief is palpable and as a reader you're just as thrilled to see him again. When they go all travel to Edoras to meet King Théoden they realize how bad the situation in Rohan has become. We get to meet Théoden's niece, Eowyn, one of the most badass characters in literature.
This book also contains the destruction of Isengard, Saruman's stronghold. His voice is one of his greatest powers. He can put his listeners under his spell with his words, but he doesn't even think most of Middle Earth is worthy of considering a foe. His neglect to consider the ents leads to his downfall. The scene where Merry and Pippin described the destruction of Isengard by the Ents is one my favorite things in the book. The ents are absolutely terrifying in their righteous anger.
Sauron has a similar fault. He assumes his enemies will act in the same selfish, power grabbing way that he does. It never crossed his mind that the fellowship's goal is to destroy the ring, not to struggle to rule in a position of power over all of Middle Earth with it.
Tolkien descriptions of places are so incredible. In my opinion that's why people love the movies so much. For many authors much of the location and situation is left to your imagination. So what each reader pictures is invariably different. But Tolkien described everything is such detail that what you see in the movies feels like the books have come alive…
"There stood a tower of marvellous shape. It was fashioned by the builders of old, this moved the Ring of Isengard, and yet it seemed a thing not made by the craft of Men, but riven from the bones of the earth in the ancient torment of the hills."
… there's more than a paragraph after that which continues to describe Isengard.
I'm constantly surprised by how quickly things are happening in this book. There are only nine days between Boromir's death and the breaking of the fellowship and the day when they all reunite in Isengard (except for Sam and Frodo)!
** As I reread the books I used "A Guide to Middle Earth: A Complete and Definitive Concordance of the Lord of the Rings" by Robert Foster. It was incredibly helpful because so many things that are called by different names. At one point they're going to see the Wizard's Vale, which when you look it up in the concordance you learn that it's also called valley of Saruman and Nan Curunír in other sections. There are a dozen more examples of the same thing and so the concordance was really helpful.
BOTTOM LINE: The adventure continues without a single lag from the first book. Frodo and Sam's section is slow at times, but I love the whole trilogy.
"Yet do not cast all hope away. Tomorrow is unknown."
"The brave things in the old tails and songs, Mr. Frodo: adventures, as I used to call them. I used to think that they were things the wonderful folk of the stories went out and look for, because they wanted them, because they were exciting and life is a bit though, a kind of a sport, as you might say. But that's not the way a bit with the tales that really matter, or the ones that stay in the mind. Folk seem to have been just landed in them, usually - their past relayed that way, as you put it. But I expect they had lots of chances, like us, of turning back, only they didn't. And if they had, we should know, because they'd have been forgotten."
A few tidbits where the book differs from the film:
I feel like some of the major book to movie differences with this one are important because they speak to each characters' motivation. These changes paint the ents, Faramir, and Gandalf in a different light and in each case I prefer the book to the film.
- When Frodo has to lure Gollum into captivity for Faramir, he tries to explain to Gollum that the men will kill him if he doesn't come quietly. I think it's important that he's not trying to trick Gollum.
- In the movie Gollum tries to make Frodo think Sam was stealing the food. Frodo sends Sam away because of it. That never happens on the books. Sam goes with Frodo into Shelob's lair. Also the book talks about Sauron and what he thinks of Shelob. He sees her as his pet, his cat that he lets eat orcs and prisoners.
- The Huorns (trees of Fangorn Forest) were the ones that turned the tide at Helm's Deep with Gandalf.
- Faramir knows that he can gain power and glory by taking the ring back to his city, but he chooses not to. He makes the impossible choice to send Frodo on safely and he never falters from that. In the movie he does the opposite and then later changes his mind.
- The ents decide to go to war with Saruman during their moot. In the movie they decide not to and then later Merry and Pippin convince them.
- The Palantír: In the movie Gandalf is beyond furious at Pippin, but in the book he's frustrated at first but is quickly grateful to the little hobbit even though he still calls him a fool. He says, "Maybe, I have been saved by this hobbit from a grave blunder. I had considered whether or not to probe this Stone myself to find its uses. Had I done so, I should have been revealed to him myself. I am not ready for such a trial, if indeed I shall ever be so."
- Another important note, Sam put the ring on to hide from the orcs. Even with his pure heart, he couldn't resist that temptation.
best sequel ever
The second volume of The Lord of the Rings continues Frodo Baggins' journey towards the dark land of Mordor while the rest of his companions deal with armies of the Great Eye and the traitorous Saruman. 'The Two Towers' is where J.R.R. Tolkien showed the reader the danger his world was in and raising the stakes by showing the effects of Sauron's darkness was already having on lands he had captured.
'The Two Towers' contains the third and fourth books that Tolkien divided The Lord of the Rings into. The third book begins with Company, sans Frodo and Sam, battling the machinations of Isengard in various ways. The fourth follows Frodo and Sam from their split from the Company to the very edge of Mordor itself thanks to Gollum. Throughout Towers, Tolkien continually builds the tension and the stakes all the characters deal with as the darkness threatening their world goes on the move. Although he separated the two story arcs into different books, Tolkien drops hints to his overall timeline by the flight of the Nazgul that all the characters see at various times. Unfortunately Tolkien's decision to split the story arc of the rest of the Company into two created the need for a flashback retelling of the Ent march against Isengard instead of a 'first-hand' account of the battle.
Although the material in Towers was originally intended by J.R.R. Tolkien to be directly in the middle of an entire one-volume story, a publisher decision to split the tale into three volumes creating mixed results for Towers. As intended by Tolkien the material increased the tension and action the characters experienced, only to suddenly cut off as events seemed to be gaining traction. However, the cliff hanger quality that Tolkien intended at the end of Book Four as it finishes Towers is retaining making the reader want to see what happens next in the story of Frodo and Sam.
'The Two Towers' reads like it was intended, the middle part of one-continuous story, resulting in it never really feels like a individual book. In Towers, the characters introduced in Fellowship continued to grow and start interacting with various new characters stepping onto the stage of the story. Along with character development, the increasing action and rising tensions between good and evil build up the overall story of The Lord of the Rings. Upon finishing The Two Towers, readers can not wait to see how Tolkien's epic is completed in 'The Return of the King'.
That 'The Lord of the Rings' should appeal to readers of the most austere tastes suggests that they too now long for the old, forthright, virile kind of narrative... the author has had intimate access to an epic tradition stretching back and back and disappearing in the mists of Germanic history, so that his story has a kind of echoing depth behind it...

The Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership is delighted to announce that Lauren Gilbert will be our new Director of Programs, succeeding April Auger.
April is leaving Sorensen today after six years to become a full-time graduate student at the University of Richmond to pursue a master's degree in nonprofit management.
"Lauren has proven herself to be an excellent Youth Program Director and has the skills and the dedication to Sorensen's mission to lead all five of our programs in 2015 and beyond," said Bob Gibson, Executive Director of the Sorensen Institute.
Lauren has been responsible for overseeing recruitment for and implementation of the College and High School Leaders Programs for the past several years. She is a graduate of the College Leaders Program Class of 2009 and returned to Sorensen as a Youth Program Manager in 2010. She is a native of Alexandria, Virginia, and graduated from James Madison University with a B.A. in Political Science.
"I'm excited to take on the responsibilities of the Director of Programs," Gilbert said. "I have had the privilege of working closely with participants in our youth programs for many years, and I've seen firsthand how our programs create both strong policy ideas and lasting friendships. I look forward to continuing the good work done by my predecessors in this role."
Sorensen's Legislative Reception, a must-attend gathering in the Richmond political social calendar, recognizes our 25 alumni currently serving in the General Assembly and statewide office. This Feb. 17 event at Williams Mullen in Richmond begins at 5 p.m. and is free and open to all Sorensen alumni and friends.

This IDAutomation tutorial should be used when implementing barcode
in Oracle Reports with the IDAutomation PL/SQL Barcode Library and IDAutomation
barcode fonts. The barcode library is a PLL file that formats data from fields
in the report to create an accurate barcode when combined with IDAutomation
barcode fonts.
The library contains functions for Code 128, Code 39, GS1, Codabar,
UCC/EAN 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, UPC and EAN barcodes.
IDAutomation also provides
Java barcode
generation for Oracle Reports,
which is easier to implement in for versions 9i, 10g and above, as well as in UNIX and Linux environments.
Other solutions are also provided in the
Oracle Reports Barcode Integration Guide.
Note: Use of this pll, requires a Developer
License or above. This font encoder is supplied with Purchase of
Developer's License or above of any Barcode Font Package.
IDAutomation offers many different
barcode fonts
for a variety of purposes. If unsure which to use, consider the Universal
Barcode Font with the
Code 128 function. The IDAutomation.pll is a Feature Level 3 font encoder and cannot format data for the GS1-128 barcode standard. The IDAutomation_Universal.pll (compatible with Oracle 9i and above) can encode data for GS1-128 barcodes. To
install these barcode fonts on Windows for Oracle Reports,
run the Install.exe file included in the font package or follow the
font installation procedures. Because of the complexities
and variety of UNIX and Linux system distributions, IDAutomation
does not provide installation assistance for these systems.
However, IDAutomation does provide two sets of installation instructions
that may help as a guide:
If possible, consider using
Barcoding for Oracle Reports for Unix and Linux environments.
The Oracle Reports Barcode PLL Library is compatible with all versions of Oracle Reports
that support attached libraries. The IDAutomation.pll was developed
and tested against Reports 6i, and the IDAutomation_Universal.pll is
compatible with 10g and above. If used in the database itself, the version of the database would be any version that supports PL/SQL.
PL/SQL source code is also provided for advanced Oracle developers in
the IDAutomation.pkg file.
It may be necessary to use the optional ReturnType
for special purposes:
(Data, 0) formats barcode output string for Code 128 barcode
(Data, 1) returns the human-readable data.
(Data, 2) returns only the check digit.
XS is
the normal version, S has the bars narrow by 10% and the M font has the bars narrow by 20%. DataToEncode is
a single string of Zip, Zip + 4 or Zip + 4 + Delivery Point.
A MOD 10 checksum will be calculated if IncludeCheckDigit is true.

An Association of Professional Investigators striving for Higher Standards
The Louisiana Private Investigators Association was founded to promote and to maintain the highest ethical practices in the profession of private investigators. You are invited to take the time to browse through our site and learn about the LPIA. You will find information about Louisiana private investigators, LPIA member benefits, history, events and links of interest. We are a non-profit professional trade organization and not a licensing authority.
If you are interested in becoming licensed and want to learn the details of being licensed, contact the Louisiana State Board of Private Investigator Examiners.*
*The LPIA is not associated with the Louisiana State Board of Private Investigator Examiners. We are a professional membership organization. We display their contact information here as a service to our members and the general public
Thank you! for visiting our website.
We hope that you take the time to browse through our site and learn about the LPIA. You will find information about Louisiana private investigators, LPIA member benefits, history, events and links of interest.
- Please visit the About Us page for Our Creed and our Code of Ethics followed by a listing of the current Officers.
- For more formation about LPIA, please visit our Resources page where the organization's officials documents can be found, as well as our history, a listing of our Committees, and the Awards we give.
- For membership information, please visit our Membership page.
LPIA Region 2 Newsletter
In years past the LPIA published its own newsletter highlighting membership activities, articles for/by private investigators, contact information, advertising from Continuing Education providers and/or "spyware" retailers, and a multitude of other information or items related to the industry that might be useful to our membership or Louisiana Private Investigators. Our past publications included all four of the LPIA Regions - but it requires both commitment and a bit of "free labor". We have lacked the necessary resources, skills, or membership participation for a "dry spell", but recently several members have stepped forward to fill leadership roles that have been vacant. (See our new Roster of Officers on this site)
One of those members, our new Region 2 Director, Larry Graffeo, has produced - and distributed - the LPIA's first Newsletter in some time. This publication only covered Region 2, but is slated to grow in future issues. Do you have any useful information you would like to share with the membership or private investigative industry? Didn't get your copy of this very useful publication?
For the time being, you only need to contact Larry Graffeo, CCIP at Janus One Investigations, LLC via email: email@example.com. You may be more pleasantly surprised than you thought you'd be!
Continuing Education
Continuing Education for Louisiana Private Investigators has resumed. Eight (8) hours of Continuing Education is required every two years, and course credit can be obtained through multiple courses over the two year period. If you would like to present a topic at one of our sponsored seminars, we want to hear from you. All Continuing Education providers and course material must be approved by the LSBPIE prior to being sponsored by the LPIA and/or provided at an LPIA Seminar for licensing renewal credit.

Do You Have Any Changes In Mind?
The LPIA Annual Officer Elections are held in October. 2015 is just beginning and as the events of this year unfold which affect our State, local communities, and our professional careers we have both a clean slate and ample time to contribute to the direction of our own destiny. We all have opinions - why keep them to yourself? What changes would you like to see in the structure of YOUR professional association? As a Private Investigator what do you feel we, as a professional trade organization,can give back to our community, our state, our profession? Sadly, our association has so much wasted and untapped potential to impact our profession, and indirectly our own lives, an adequate measure or comparison is impossible. That loss to our State - to our profession - can be cured. Go online and check out what the Private Investigative Associations in other States have accomplished and/or are doing! This is not something that can be accomplished by seven or even twenty people. The old cliche "there is strength in numbers" still rings true. Louisiana has more than 1200 licensed investigators. Just imagine the impact that just a tenth of those professionals could have on our industry given a single course of action. Our Association is STILL without a full slate of leaders. If you are a member, or interested in becoming a member, of the LPIA and are interested in taking on the responsibilities of a leadership role in our Association, please contact Ed Roy, President.
Be part of our growth - Become an LPIA Officer
A word from our President...
It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to our Louisiana Private Investigator Association's home on the web!
Over two decades ago, in 1987 to be exact, a forward thinking group of professional private investigators formed the Louisiana Private Investigators Association… the LPIA. Members of the LPIA are afforded the opportunity of associating with other licensed private investigators from around the Bayou State that subscribe to the highest standards of practice and professionalism. Our members promote the ideals of honesty, ethical investigative techniques and ethical behavior.
We realize that we represent not only ourselves and our companies, but also our clients. When you choose an LPIA member, you can do so with confidence! You'll know that you are hiring an industry leading investigator who subscribes to our "code of ethics", the most stringent in the business.
Since several members have asked me about looking into having the LPIA take a more active role in community projects and charity, the LPIA Board is considering several areas where we can impact our community and State; both through the fruits of our labor as well as our time and professional skills. This will be a different path than the LPIA has ever followed in its 26 year history, and we will seek to involve both members and non-member private investigators for a better tomorrow for our clients and the citizens of Louisiana. Even if you are not interested at this time in membership, but would be interested in participating in our charity or community project goals, you are invited to sign up for our newsletter that will provide more details as they are planned and scheduled.
On behalf of the officers and members of the LPIA for 2015, I thank you for your interest in our association. LPIA members have always enjoy valuable benefits and are always on the leading edge of the industry. This year we will also strive to be on the leading edge of LPIA's history!
We have several membership categories to accommodate you; please consider joining us.
Ed Roy
LPIA President

The day starts early for Aam Aadmi Party's Ashutosh, contesting the Chandni Chowk constituency for the 16th Lok Sabha election. The news anchor-turned politician is busy campaigning for the seat, which was represented by Congress' Kapil Sibal in the 15th Lok Sabha.
At 6.30am on Friday, Ashutosh, donning an AAP cap and dressed in casual attire, alongwith local MLA Akhilesh Mani Tripathi and several AAP volunteers went to a park in New Delhi's Model Town. A flurry of early morning walkers, joggers and yoga enthusiasts turn their attention to the AAP group at the gate. A few shook hands with the 48-year-old, native of Gounda in Uttar Pradesh. Before long, a crowd gathered around him and questions about AAP's philosophy began to fly. Having answered the questions, Ashutosh, who now lives in Noida, energetically walked through the park, meeting women, youngsters, retired officials and businessmen, all along seeking their votes and discussing AAP's chances.
At one point, a group of senior citizens grilled him about Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government's resignation. Using a mix of tact and persuasion and some help from Tripathi, Ashutosh was able to convince the seniors about the AAP government's decision. While most people greeted Ashutosh during his 45-minutes at the park, there were also some who dismissed his presence and just walked past.
The group then moved to another park in Model Town. Here they met a retired CBI officer, JR Arora, who vociferously expressed his displeasure with AAP's performance. Before Arora's statements set the tone for a heated conversation with others in the park, Ashutosh and the AAP volunteers doused his anger. The conversation was soon joined by others and ended happily for him after they convinced the retired official and left with his blessing.
"People are angry and are seeking answers to questions like why AAP led Delhi government had to resign or on the issue of subsidy… but they are still with AAP and they want to talk to us to understand our position," Ashutosh told dna. "This is a common occurrence. I have experienced this often in my days of campaigning. We are addressing the people's queries."
Another 45 minutes were spent walking around the park, greeting people and seeking their support. As the group left, they stopped outside the park, to interact with rickshaw pullers, fruit sellers, flower sellers and local shopkeepers. AAP volunteers said that meeting these people gave AAP a peek into the minds of people from across castes and class.
The team then headed to the Shakti Nagar slum cluster, which has turned out to be an AAP supporter in the last few months. Ashutosh and local MLA Tripathi made their way though a narrow bylane into a jhuggi cluster, where residents were excited to meet a person they would otherwise see on television.
Ashutosh and Tripathi went inside the densely-populated jhuggis and sat with locals to listen to their complaints — mostly about water, electricity and sewage. The locals were thrilled to have the two leaders amidst their slums, which other party leaders skipped on their campaign trail for fear of dirtying themselves. Through the hour-and-a-half that Ashutosh spent in Shakti Nagar, his volunteers took copious notes on the issues raised by the locals even as Tripathi signed some applications.
After nearly three-and-half hours after he started canvassing, Ashutosh finally retired to his local office to prepare to file his nomination in the afternoon.

It Depends...
We first fell in the love with the Beneteau 331, but when the 343 came out we found it even more comfortable and roomy. It offered us everything we were looking for in a long term boat. We've had her since 7/05 and we are extremely happy.
The plus' for buying new, for us, were 1)we have about 15 years of sailing in us (age wise) so we don't have to deal with trading in for a boat we really want in several years, and 2) this is our first boat, and we really wanted to start out with a boat that we could get to know inside and out without having to deal with prior owner, old boat headaches (we have enough of that with our old house). It's a matter of making a list of the pro's and con's, and deciding what's important for you.
There is a Beneteau 343 group at Yahoo that we invite you to join (one of our members is from Singapore).
Good luck with your decision!

Steamed Salmon Kabobs
Steaming foods is a fantastic cooking method that's especially terrific for the calorie-conscious. This easy technique allows food to retain more vitamins, minerals, natural flavor and color because the food is cooked above water rather than directly in it. Don't have a professional steamer? No worries.
Here are four time-saving steaming products we tried and loved.

Sep 3, 2001, Vol. 6, No. 47 • By MARK BLITZ
The heart of Strauss's lectures on the Symposium is a careful commentary on Plato's dialogue, and the dialogue is a subtle and comprehensive exploration of the amazingly varied topic of eros, or love, in all its complexity. Strauss intends to direct our attention to eros as Plato portrays it and, therefore, to eros itself. Among Strauss's most novel, telling, and helpful observations is his statement that eros is of special importance because it is "somehow" Plato's contention that eros is "the nature of man and, in a way, the nature of the whole." That is, love is not chiefly a matter of passion, friendship, or attraction—to either physical or moral beauty. These phenomena must be accounted for by eros, and Plato displays them in his characters and in what they say. Indeed, Strauss claims that Plato's dialogues make evident his superiority to his great rivals in wisdom, the poets, precisely because he is able "by virtue of [his] deeper understanding of the principles" to make transparent in men "the manifestation of the principles."
Because eros is so comprehensive, it must also "somehow" be the foundation of politics. Yet as Strauss points out, politics' characteristic passion is spiritedness—and spiritedness, together with the anger and the severity associated with it, seems to be in tension with love. Strauss carefully considers this tension throughout his Symposium lectures, exploring, for example, the dual origin of the gods—both in the the love of beauty and as agents of avenging justice. The tension of love and politics can be understood better if we see that although each of Plato's dialogues stands alone, nonetheless "every dialogue is connected with every other dialogue but sometimes in a very indirect way." The Laws, obviously about politics, is "the only dialogue which begins with the word god," but the apparently apolitical Symposium is the only dialogue whose explicit theme is a god—namely, eros.
From the third chapter to the book's conclusion, Strauss's method is to explicate the Symposium's six speeches about love (together with the dialogue's seventh speech, Alcibiades' concluding encomium to Socrates), and to relate the speeches to each speaker's character and desires. The summaries Strauss offers of his own previous discussions, together with his colloquies with students, enable us to see him develop his thought. "I am not only willing but eager to learn that I am wrong," he says at one point. Nonetheless, the overall impression is one of striking mastery and consistency from beginning to end.
Strauss argues that the Symposium's speeches are ordered in an ascent. The first three fail to praise love itself (the task that the first speaker, Phaedrus, had given the party). Instead, they "subject eros to something outside" or alien to it: the beloved's selfish gain, moral virtue, science, or art. Strauss brings out his conclusions with convincing subtlety, finding the central nerve in each speech. Especially revealing is his analysis of the speech by the physician Eryximachus. "The background of this speech is the philosophy of Empedocles," and it is "as far as my knowledge goes the only document in a philosophic text prior to Plato where the notion of science for the sake of power, the famous Baconian formula, is somehow approached." Eryximachus' view of love is one in which "there is no hierarchy, and the distinction between good and bad must come from a subjective point of view." The speech proves to be a central ancient text for exploring in advance what would come to reality in modern times with the dominance of technology.
Indeed, the Symposium as a whole is a partial antidote to submission to technology's dominance. What technological manipulation is able to create is necessarily limited and directed by the nature of passion and reason—and by the objects of passion and reason as we understand and experience those objects in the world. We may change the means by which we experience. We may even try to eliminate human experience altogether. But we cannot change the meanings and possible fulfillments inherent in our actions. And when we ignore what is inherent—when we have a distorted understanding of the intricacy of human experience—what we create is frighteningly narrow and often monstrous. In opposition to all this, the Symposium shows us the openness of love to what is good, and it is therefore an indispensable guide in our technological age.
Strauss's discussion of the final four speeches begins with an extraordinary analysis of the argument Aristophanes offers in the dialogue. Aristophanes gives a brilliant account of love as two halves of an original unity searching for each other, and Strauss shows how profoundly that image brings out the nature of love's rebellious power and its tension with convention, divine law, or "civilization," without which men "cannot become men."

Lamborghini's new direct-injection V12 carbon fiber supercar – the Jota
Chris-Adi's pic of the Lambo in testing on the autobahn at Top Speed.
This is Lamborghini's new car from the company's teaser pic.
Car companies such as Lamborghini need to test their products in the real world and hence can fall victim to well-educated enthusiasts being in the right place at the right time with a camera. Earlier this week the VW-owned Italian supercar maker posted a "teaser image" of what everybody expects to be the Murcielago replacement. Only trouble is, we've already seen it – that's the car itself shot on an autobahn between Chemnitz and Dresden during road testing. Just how everyone seems to know the specs a month prior to the show is a matter for conjecture, but if you want to read the unconfirmed details of the new direct injection 7.0-litre V12, carbon fiber monster which does zero to 60 in 3.0 seconds, read on.

Palestinian protest leader's case sparks scrutiny
In all, 20 Palestinians, 10 of them minors, have been killed in anti-barrier protests, Israeli activist Jonathan Pollak said, estimating that thousands more have been hurt. Israel's military has said rock-throwing endangers troops, and that some of its forces also have been injured.
Israel says it has no problem with peaceful protests. "No one is trying to quell the protests as such," said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor. "The only thing that cannot be tolerated is the deliberate use of violence."
However, critics say Israel is cracking down hard in order to deter others. Israeli forces have detained more than 300 activists alone from Bilin and two other villages, said Pollak. The rate of arrests accelerated in 2009.
Abu Rahmeh was arrested Dec. 10, 2009 and convicted of incitement and participation in illegal protests. He was to be released Nov. 18, but the prosecutor appealed for an extension, saying the original sentence wasn't harsh enough. Abu Rahmeh will remain in custody until the judge rules on the prosecutor's appeal.
Carter and fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate Desmond Tutu, part of a group of former leaders known as The Elders, on Monday condemned the attempt to keep Abu Rahmeh in prison. Carter said his "example of nonviolent resistance against the occupation is a model that others should follow."
Abu Rahmeh's lawyer, Gaby Lasky, said the legal campaign is an admission of failure.
"Since the state has not been able to break the nonviolent demonstrations (by force), it has decided to break them in legal terms, trying to keep the leaders behind bars," she said.
International concern for Abu Rahmeh's fate was apparent Monday.
Diplomats from Britain, Germany, France, Denmark, Belgium, Spain, Malta and an EU representative watched as Abu Rahmeh was led into the courtroom, wearing a brown prison uniform. A guard removed his handcuffs, but not his leg shackles. Abu Rahmeh smiled shyly at his wife, Majda.
Some diplomats took notes. The British consul general, Vincent Fean, noted that Abu Rahmeh had completed his sentence and expressed hope the legal proceedings will be wrapped up quickly.
"Thank you for taking the time to come," Abu Rahmeh told Fean during a break, then exchanged a few furtive words with Majda, whom guards had ordered to sit in the back to prevent contact.

Redya Naik had referred to Adilabad's backwardness
ADILABAD: Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituency (ZPTC) members and Mandal Parishad Presidents (MPP) of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Congress on Tuesday indulged in jostling during a discussion on Jatipita Engineering College being shifted to Hyderabad from Adilabad at the Utnoor Integrated Tribal Development Agency's governing body meeting (ITDA). TDP members were protesting against the remark made by Minister D.S. Redya Naik while the issue was being debated.
The Social Welfare Minister and district in-charge had said the college could not have functioned in an area of hutments while referring to Adilabad's backwardness. TDP members got agitated over this remark and trooped near the dais seeking an apology from him.
Congress members who intervened, were pushed aside by the TDP members who outnumbered the former. The police had to intervene and restore decorum.
Earlier, TDP ZPTC members and MPPs had demanded passing of resolutions on setting up of IIT at Basar, reopening of the closed RTC depot at Utnoor and continuation of the engineering college at Adilabad.
Mr. Redya Naik said 11 more Kasturba schools had been sanctioned in the district.

Due to a supposed mistranslated statement of the Dark Souls designer, a lot of people were talking about a more easy and accessible Dark Souls experience "so everyone could play the game".
Well, I got news, everyone can play the game now, exactly as it is.
Dark Souls is not difficult because it requires inhuman skill (like some platformers). In fact, in that regard it is much easier than any super Mario game.
Dark Souls is difficult for many people because it requires a skill set that is lost to gamers nowadays (and most people in general):
. patience;
. lateral thinking;
. observation;
. experimentation;
It is a unique experience because while playing you do not evolve your character as much as you evolve yourself as a player. It is unbelievably rewarding to decipher the innumerous secrets of the game. That's the game, the discovery. The game is not about running around killing monsters.
It is insanely awesome to see that something that looked like impossible a few hours ago you can now do with your eyes closed (well, maybe one eye closed).
Putting a minimap, an extensive tutorial and save points on the game would not make the game easier - it would be creating another game - one that is simply not nearly as interesting or innovative.
Dark Souls is a unique, intelligent new experience, we really should not be trying to make it equal to other thousands of games.
I understand the frustration if you want to experience the setting but thinks the experience is too hard. But, honestly, have you even tried? Most people shy away from the game because of its fame alone.
A friend of mine have arthritis and cannot play most fight games and platformers and, after a little bit of effort he finished the game twice already.
I am not a very accomplished player also. I can't memorize patterns very well, I can't do a combo in a fighting game for the life of me and cannot drive in a straight line in racing games. And I completed the new content for the game dying only twice.
The famous super uber difficulty of Dark Souls (and Demons Souls for that matter), can be easily conquered by rethinking yourself as a gamer, being more methodical in your approach.
Some people say that an easy mode doesn't hurt because you doesn't have to play it. But the fact that Dark Souls have only one setting of difficulty works as a watermark, a parameter for your successes and failures.
This is what makes people to come back to the game - discovering the new ways to kill a boss or getting the most difficult equipment should be a reference to all. Why? Simply because there's no game that does it now. Comparing notes, efforts and challenges is part of the game. Some things in the game are meant to be very hard to discover and an easy way around it just kills the sense of accomplishment that is so impressive in this game.
Hell, the game became huge mostly because of its style and difficulty. Why try to make something so innovative into another triple A title with all the trappings that executives think that are required for a game to succeed?
In any case, the discussion is moot because lazy people are already cheating their way into the game, making everything supereasy. Which would be fine, I think, if they weren't bringing their fake accomplishments online, to the multiplayer component of the game.
But this is people for you. There will always be someone ready to spoil everyone's fun on the behalf of their fun. We cannot do much about this, unfortunately.
What we can do is enjoy one of the greatest games of all time in the way that made it one of the greatest games of all time: difficult, but conquerable.
Capcha: comfort zone. So true...
P.S. I love Skyrim.
