Grayscale and xrandr rotation
I can get the system to use rotation, and I can get grayscale, but cannot get both at the same time....
Simply added the option "RandRRotation" in devices,
and in the Screen added Visual "Grayscale"
Is there something I'm missing, or is this just something never put into play?
Re: Grayscale and xrandr rotation
Anyone have any ideas??
Man, I hate having to ask for these things that probably no one else uses.....
Re: Grayscale and xrandr rotation
I have decided that this will not work. To go into grayscale, you need to be running at 8 bit, and it appears the rotation won't work in that mode.
I haven't found any other answer to this problem.
I could always be wrong, not a programmer, and my linux knowledge isn't as good as others on the board.

The Saugus baseball team pounded Verdugo Hills, 15-4, in the Southern California Invitational.
Nick Lombardi had a huge day, hitting two home runs and driving in six runs. Michael Soucy hit a home run and had two RBIs and Scott Kerrigan earned the win on the mound.
Next up for Saugus is Newbury Park on Wednesday.
The Canyon baseball team lost to Chatsworth, 8-1, in the Easton Tournament. Patrick Roxbury hit a solo home run for Canyon's only run.
In high school softball, Valencia and Oxnard played to a 1-1 tie in 11 innings. Carly Mortensen pitched all 11 innings striking out six. Madison Shipman went 2-for-5, scoring the only run for Valencia. Lauren Boser also went 2-for-5 in the game.
Valencia begins play in the Tournament of Champions in Arizona on Thursday.
The Hart softball team won the night cap of a doubleheader against Moorpark. The first game ended in a scoreless tie after eight innings. Emili Escamilla struck out 12 and pitched eight scoreless innings in the first game for Hart.
Paxton Provost drove in two runs and Jessie Jones drove in one in the second game for Hart.
In high school golf, West Ranch finished sixth out of 16 teams in the Harvard-Westlake Invitational at Saticoy Country Club. J.J. Holen shot a 4-over 76 and was sixth overall in the invitational. Isaac Kim was 9-over at 81.
In high school tennis, the Hart boys beat Highland, 13-5. Joe Reyes swept his singles matches for Hart.
In college baseball, The Master's College lost to Vanguard, 10-9, in an abbreviated, seven-inning affair. Vanguard scored five runs in the sixth inning capped by a two-run triple by Tyson Leighton.
Ben Ives went 2-for-3 and hit a three-run home run in the fourth inning for The Master's College. Joe Zeller was 3-for-3 with four RBIs.
The Dodgers are looking to A.J. Ellis to fill in for catcher Russell Martin, who is recovering from a groin injury and is expected to miss the start of the season.
So who is Ellis? He is a 28-year-old prospect with 13 career major league at-bats in 12 games over the past two years.
He had one hit and one RBI in 10 at-bats in 2009. His hit was the first and only hit of his major league career.
Some more potentially bad news for the Dodgers: veteran third baseman Casey Blake was pulled out of the team's spring training game against the Giants because of a trained rib cage muscle. Blake played only two innings, but it looks like his injury isn't that serious. Manager Joe Torre told ESPN that the move was precautionary.
Dodgers reliever Cory Wade, on the other hand, will miss the next two weeks after getting a cortisone shot in his right shoulder. The injury is the same one that landed Wade on the disabled list twice last year.
The Kings thoroughly embarrassed the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets, 6-0. Alexander Frolov scored a goal and had three assists. The Kings scored four goals in the first period and chased Jackets' starting goaltender, Steve Mason before the period ended. Jonathan Quick had a relatively easy night in goal, making 11 saves to record the shutout.

A bottle is provided with a dislodgeable container to hold two components of a medicament free of contact with each other until mixing is desired. One component may be a solid and the other a liquid, or both may be liquids. Mixing is accomplished by removing a locking ring and depressing the holder means.
1. A bottle having at its top a neck and below the neck a body adapted to hold a first component of a medicament comprising a sleeve member inserted in the neck, the sleeve member having a first flange means that does not fit into the neck of the bottle, a container means to hold a second component, the container means having openings, a lower and upper end and being disposed in the sleevemember, the upper end of the container means extending out of the bottle past the sleeve member and the part extending beyond the sleeve member being provided with a second flange means, a dislogeable locking means to hold the second component away from the first component, the locking means when in a locked position is disposed between the second flange means of the container means and the first flange means of the sleeve member such that the openings of the container means are sealed by the sleeve member and downward movement of the container means is prevented, the openings in the container means permitting the first and second components to contact one another when the locking means is dislodged, thereby deactivated, and the container means is moved downward from the neck into the body of the bottle, and an overcap attached to the upper end of the container means to close the bottle.
2. A bottle according to claim 1 wherein the upper end of the container means is provided with dispensing means.
3. A bottle according to claim 2 wherein the dispensing means is a dropper tip.
4. A bottle according to claim 2 wherein the upper end of the container means is fitted with a stopper adapted to be pierced by the needle of a syringe.
Dispenser devices having multiple compartments for separately enclosed materials to be mixed prior to use are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,340,873, 3,354,883, 3,397,694, 3,411,503, 4,331,146, 4,412,836, 4,330,531 and 4,950,237. These systems are complex, contain many parts, and are expensive to manufacture.
It is an object of the invention to provide a dispenser device having means to hold a solid and a liquid, or two liquids, separately until the time of administration. Another object is to provide a less expensive dispenser device for maintaining two components of a mixture separately until the time of administration. Still another object is to provide a more easily manufactured dispenser device for maintaining a solid and a liquid separately until the time of administration. A further object is to provide a simplified and inexpensive ophthalmic dispenser. There and other objects of the present invention will be apparent from the following description.
This invention relates to fluid dispensing devices in which solid and liquid components, or two liquid components, of a mixture are maintained in isolation from one another and in which the separated constituents can be mixed in situ, when desired, by placing the constituents in communication with one another. A container inserted in the neck of the bottle holds one compnent of the medicament e.g., a powder or a tablet, or a liquid. Locking means prevents the container from being moved. Openings in the sidewall of the container are sealed by sleeve means in the neck of the bottle when the container is locked in position in the neck. Removal of the locking means permits the container to be moved downwardly thereby exposing the openings and permitting the component in the container to mix with the component in the bottle.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional side elevation of a dropper dispenser device of this invention before mixing the components.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional side elevation of the dropper dispenser device of FIG. 1 after mixing the components.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional side elevation of another embodiment wherein the contents are withdrawn by means of a syringe.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional side elevation of the syringe dispenser device of FIG. 3 after mixing the components.
It should be understood that the drawings are not necessarily to scale and that the embodiments are sometimes illustrated by graphic symbols, phantom lines, diagrammatic representations and fragmentary views. In certain instances, details which are not necessary for an understanding of the present invention or which render other details difficult to perceive may have been omitted. It should be understood, of course, that the invention is not necessarily limited to the particular embodiments illustrated herein.
The dispenser device of the present invention preferably is made of a flexible plastic material, for example, low density polyethylene, and can be prepared by any suitable technique, for example, blow molding. It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific material from which the dispenser device of the present invention is made, or the particular process by which it is made as it will be understood by those skilled in the art that many different materials and various manufacturing techniques may be employed.
The dispensing device of the present invention has a dropper dispenser tip calibrated to deliver a predetermined amount of solution. Dropper dispenser tips are known in the art.
The dispensing device of the present invention comprises a bottle means 10 adapted to receive one component of a medicament, in this case liquid 11, such as, for example, a physiologically acceptable ophthalmic liquid. It is to be understood that a solid such as, for example a tablet or a powder equally may be employed but is not shown as obvious. A rubber sleeve 12 optionally having flanged end 12a is inserted inside the neck 13 of bottle 10. A cylindrical container 14 is partially inserted into sleeve 12. The upper end of container 14 optionally is provided with threads 15 and flange 16 to receive and to hold an overcap 20. Other types of overcaps, e.g., snap-on, equally may be used. The lower sidewall of container 14 is provided with one or more openings 17. Container 14 is filled with a liquid medicament 18 but also can be filled with a solid in the form of a powder or a tablet (not shown as obvious). If one component is a solid, the other must be a liquid. A dispenser tip 19 is inserted into the upper end of cylinder 14 and an overcap 20 is screwed onto threads 15 to protect dispenser tip 19. A locking means 21, such as a peel-off ring, is fitted around container 14 between flange 16 and flanged end 12a of sleeve 12 or the neck of bottle 10 if sleeve 12 lacks a flange. Locking means 21 prevents container 14 from being depressed until such time as it is desired to mix the two components.
As shown in FIG. 2, to dissolve the medicament the locking means 21 is removed and the container is lowered by pushing down on overcap 20. When the openings 17 in the lower end of container 14 move past the bottom of sleeve 12 and the bottle is tilted or inverted, the liquid and solid to contact each other.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show alternate embodiments to FIGS. 1 and 2 wherein instead of a dropper tip the upper end of container 14 is sealed with a stopper 22. After removing locking means 21 and mixing the solid and liquid contents, the stopper is pierced with the needle of a syringe and the mixed liquid is withdrawn into the syringe for administration.

A join tree probability propagation architecture for semantic modeling

We propose the first join tree (JT) propagation architecture that labels the probability information passed between JT nodes in terms of conditional probability tables (CPTs) rather than potentials. By modeling the task of inference involving evidence, we can generate three work schedules that are more time-efficient for LAZY propagation. Our experimental results, involving five real-world or benchmark Bayesian networks (BNs), demonstrate a reasonable improvement over LAZY propagation. Our architecture also models inference not involving evidence. After the CPTs identified by our architecture have been physically constructed, we show that each JT node has a sound, local BN that preserves all conditional independencies of the original BN. Exploiting inference not involving evidence is used to develop an automated procedure for building multiply sectioned BNs. It also allows direct computation techniques to answer localized queries in local BNs, for which the empirical results on a real-world medical BN are promising. Screen shots of our implemented system demonstrate the improvements in semantic knowledge.

The thing is, hardly anyone has tried to explain where the Rh negative people came from. Most people familiar with blood factors, assume these people must be a mutation if not descendants of a different ancestor. If we are a mutation, what caused the mutation? Why does it continue with the exact characteristics? Why does it so violently reject the Rh factor, if it was in their own ancestry? Who was this ancestor? Difficulties in determining ethnology are largely overcome by the use of blood group data, for they are a single gene characteristic and not affected by the environment.
The Basque people of Spain and France have the highest percentage of Rh negative blood. About 30% have Rh negative blood and about 60% carry one RH negative gene. The average among most people is only 157%-Rh negative, while some groups have very little. The Oriental Jews of Israel, also have a high percent Rh negative, although most other Oriental people have only about 1% Rh negative. The Samaritans and the Black Cochin Jew also have a high percentage of Rh negative blood, although again the Rh negative blood is rare among most black people. The origin of the Basques is unknown. Their language is unlike any other European language.

Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson has made no secret of his dark past: the years when he drank, drugged, and ran around on wife Miss Kay before turning his life over to Jesus. Now, his son, Jep Robertson, is opening up about his own years in the wilderness in a no-holds-barred interview covering his drug use, blackouts, and worse.
Jep was raised in a Christian household, but around the age of 18, Jep tells iamsecond.com, "I met a couple of guys … and they were doing stuff a little bit differently. "I thought, 'Maybe I should hang out with these guys some and just experience what the world has to offer.'"
And that meant "lots of drug, use alcohol," he explains.
"It got pretty ugly there," Jep admits. "…I pretty much did anything that was put in front of me. I remember smoking a joint that was dipped in formaldehyde. They called it a 'wet daddy.'"
PHOTOS: Duck Dynasty's Robertson Family Adds Another Brother To The Cast
"Taking pills …" he continues. "To be honest with you, I don't know what all pills I took."
Soon, he was suffering scary blackouts.
"I remember waking up [one night]," Jep recalls. "I had one leg in my truck door, and it was on a gravel road and I was all skinned up … And I drove somewhere that night, and to this day I don't know what I did that night. I hope I didn't run over somebody. I don't know."
"I knew at that point, I was really off the tracks. But the funny thing is, I didn't stop," he says. "I got up the next day, 'Where's the drugs? Where's the alcohol? Let's keep going!'"
PHOTOS: Reality TV's Hottest Stars
Jep says he thought he was hiding his behavior well, but he soon found out that was hardly the case.
"One night I got drunk, went to the movies," he says. "My brother, Willie, left a note on my truck that said 'I know what you've been up to. We need to talk.'"
The next day, at eight in the morning, he went over to Phil's house.
"All my brothers trucks are there," he remembers. "I'm thinking, 'What are they all doing there?' And they're all sitting around, on the couch, looking at me."
PHOTOS: Celebs Who Have Battled Drinking Problems
"It was Jase, Alan, Phil, Willie, were in the living room," Miss Kay chimes in. "I couldn't even make myself go in there."
Suddenly aware of what was happening, Jep says, "My heart starts beating out of my chest, and my dad said, 'Son, are you ready to change?'"
Miss Kay recalls, "[Phil] said, 'I just want you to know that we've come to a decision as a family and it's gonna be either you are gonna join us following God, or you're gonna go on your own. And you know, good luck to you in this world but you'll just be on your own. So there's your two choices.'"
Jep says, "I just fell down on my knees and started crying and said, 'What took y'all so long?'"
PHOTOS: They Make How Much?! The 23 Highest-Paid Reality TV Stars
"My brothers, they were all crying," he remembers. "And at one point, we just got them in the middle of the room and just all got down on our knees and just cried and just prayed to God, just 'Thank you for getting me out of this because I am done living the way I've been living.' And I remember my dad saying, 'My prodigal son has returned.' And it was just one of the best days of my life. So [my dad] said, 'I'm gonna put you on house arrest. You cannot leave this house for three months and you gotta duck hunt every single day.' And I said, 'Alright dad, I think I can do that.'"
Phil has had his own struggles with alcohol, as has his brother, Si. All are now clean and sober, except for the use of chewing tobacco.

SHAH ALAM: The Sessions Court here has set Oct 12 for the trial of a police corporal charged with causing the death of a teenager in a shooting incident.
Judge Latifah Mohd Tahar set 12 days from Oct 12 and also Nov 9-11 for the trial after deputy public prosecutor Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar informed the court that he had handed 38 documents, including the post-mortem report, to the defence.
Mohd Dusuki said the prosecution would be calling 15 witnesses.
Jenain Subi, 48, is charged with causing the death of Aminulrasyid Amzah, 14, in Jalan Tarian 11/2 , Section 11, between 1.10am and 2am on April 26.
The charge of culpable homicide not amounting to murder provides for a maximum 30 years' jail and liability of a fine upon conviction.
Jenain was represented by counsel Salim Bashir while counsel Karpal Singh held a watching brief for Aminulrasyid's family.
Karpal later told reporters that he would write to the Attorney-General's Chambers to enquire the status of Azamuddin Omar, the teenager who was in the car driven by Aminulrasyid at the time of the shooting.
"We are worried that there is no development regarding the case of the key witness (Azamuddin) although he had been called to give his statement at Bukit Aman," he said. – Bernama

Sometimes, when I can't sleep at night, I try to relax by dreaming up new beaded jewelry design ideas. (I'm not the only one who does that, right?) A couple of weeks ago, as I was trying to fall asleep, I thought about what I was going to do with a hank of beautiful striped seed beads from York Beads. I don't know what made me think of it, but I wondered if I could stitch them together using fine gauge copper wire and using my favorite bead-weaving stitches. Wire jewelry made with bead-weaving stitches -- why not?
I'm a lot more adventurous with my wire jewelry projects these days, so I dug out a spool of 26 gauge copper wire and a hank of beautiful aged stripe beads from York Beads, with the idea that I would stitch up some kind of peyote stitch focal point for a necklace.
After I cut a reasonable length of wire (about five feet), I used my wire straighteners to try to get some of the curl out of that wire. I also had my Xuron needle nose pliers handy, since you never know when you're going to need to grasp a tiny end of wire as it pokes out of a bead.
Before I got started with the actual peyote stitch, I sorted through the hank of striped seed beads. (These were larger 8o seed beads, so that I could get more than one pass with the wire through each bead.) For my first attempt at peyote stitch with wire, I decided to use mainly the larger, cylinder-shaped beads.
Instead of starting my peyote stitch the way I normally do with thread, I decided to do something like a two-needle start: I added one bead to each wire, then passed both wires through a bead.
It was a bit of a challenge to get my beads to lie flat next to each other. Even with the thin wire, they just wouldn't do it! I'm one of those beaders that can't stand to see any thread Finally, in the end, I convinced myself that a bit of copper wire peeking through between the beads wouldn't be a bad thing.
Since I was feeling brave after completing these two little pieces of wire peyote stitch, I decided to try something else: a large v-shaped piece of peyote stitch with wire and the round seed beads from the hank of striped beads. All I did was work peyote stitch with an increase on the top and a decrease on the bottom to form the "v", the same way I do when I want to make a peyote stitch leaf. After a while, it really didn't bother me that I could see some of the wire between beads. I love the ethnic look of this piece!
I will say this about doing peyote stitch with wire: it isn't easy on the fingers. But the end results were worth the pain!

Bead Happy,
Hi Jennifer,
Is the necklace done in the same peyote stitch as the "Russian Leaf" pattern? If not could you do a tutuorial on your stitch the necklace is beautiful.
Thanks :)
This is such a great pattern, can you do a tutorial on this I would LOVE to make a few for friends...... Thanks
I too don't like to see the thread in my beading projects so I totally understand the aversion to seeing the wire. There are beaded and textured wires available that might be a good choice for this pattern. If they should show, they will add a bit of texture to the piece.
This is brilliant, Jen. And so pretty, too. Both the pendant and the necklace are gorgeous. Good for you!
WOW! Very nice, tut, please. Is there a size to the beads?
Nice work, Jennifer. Yes, I've used wire instead of thread. I made some plant pots (to cover plain clay pots) using old CDs (bottom) and plastic pony beads connected with floral wire (26g) in herringbone stitch. Also made 'Halloween Kids' (see Reader Photo Gallery) using mini & regular pony beads and 26g floral wire in 90DO-L stitch. Made a friend a sunflower/w pot (flat) using pony beads and copper wire in 90DO-L stitch for her yard. If I'm making something for outside, I use wire and treat the beads with RV inhibiting clear spray (damaging sun in my area). Have to admit that I haven't tried your idea yet. Thanks. And yes, many times I've worked a piece in my head -- usually just before I finally drift to sleep.
I definitely dream designs when I am sleeping, Especially if I am having a problem with something, I almost always dream the solution! You are not alone, lol!
When I can't fall asleep, I think about the projects I am working on. I think about my next step. That usually works to help me sleep. Glad to hear others are doing the same thing.

A fine rich impression of this iconic masterpiece which is at once cubist and expressionist.
After Feininger saw cubist paintings for the first time, in 1911 during a brief visit to Paris, his approach to art was transformed – he adopted a system of dislocated planar surfaces, his own cubist idiom, and stayed with this style for the rest of his career. In this early example of this style he applied the approach to Gothic structures – which he loved. The Gate is the Town Gate of Ribnitz; Ribnitz is on the Baltic coast in Mecklenburg, northeast of Rostock, in a region where Feininger often spent his summers.

Fire crews aim to contain 85 percent of Ariz. fire
PRESCOTT, Ariz. Fire officials say they expect to have a deadly Arizona blaze up to 85 percent contained by Thursday night.
Operations section chief Carl Schwope of a multi-agency incident team says the blaze isn't actively burning and crews have been working to ensure any embers are out cold. It was 45 percent contained Thursday afternoon.
Yavapai (YAV'-uh-peye) County Sheriff Scott Mascher says Peeples Valley residents will be able to return home Thursday evening.
Mascher says only those who can show proof of residency will be allowed past a checkpoint.
Evacuation orders for Yarnell remain in place.
The Yarnell Hill Fire was sparked by lightning on June 28. Two days later, violent winds fed the fire and took the Granite Mountain Hotshots by surprise, killing 19 members of the elite crew.
The fire has burned more than 100 structures on about 13 square miles.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
The 19 firefighters killed over the weekend in an Arizona blaze died of burns and inhalation problems, according to initial autopsy findings released Thursday.
Cari Gerchick, a spokeswoman for the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office in Phoenix, said the Hotshots died from burns, carbon monoxide poisoning or oxygen deprivation, or a combination of the factors. The autopsies were performed Tuesday, but more detailed autopsy reports should be released in three months, pending lab work.
"Our work is not done," Gerchick told The Associated Press. "But what we are glad about is that we can release these fallen heroes to their families for burial, and that grieving process can continue."
The Prescott-based Hotshots' bodies will be taken back to the hilltop community in a 75-mile procession from Phoenix on Sunday. Each firefighter will be in an individual hearse, accompanied by motorcycle escorts, honor guard members and American flags.
A memorial service planned for Tuesday is expected to draw thousands of mourners, including the families of the firefighters.
The firefighters had deployed Sunday to what was thought to be a manageable lightning-caused forest fire near the small town of Yarnell, about 60 miles northwest of Phoenix.
Violent winds turned the fire and trapped the highly trained Hotshots, most of them in the prime of their lives. Fire officials said the crew had deployed their fire shelters, which can briefly protect people from blazes.
It was the nation's biggest loss of firefighters since 9/11.
Sunday's tragedy raised questions of whether the Hotshot crew should have been pulled out much earlier and whether usual precautions would have made any difference in the face of triple-digit temperatures, erratic winds and dry conditions that caused the fire to explode.
A team of forest managers and safety experts is investigating what went wrong and plan to release some initial findings by the weekend. In addition to examining radio logs, the fire site and weather reports, they'll also talk to the crew's sole survivor, a 21-year-old lookout who warned his fellow firefighters and friends that the wildfire was switching directions.

A good Sunday Brunch can make a perfect Sunday and prepare me for the coming Monday in less than 24 hours! But I'm often too lazy to get myself all ready with the restaurant brunch opening time, or I just want to have a relaxing do-nothing-at-home Sunday, need to spend some time with my TV, so she doesn't feel too lonely sitting in the living room! So…..let's make a baked egg with a Chinese twist to it!
Cut up smoked salmon in small pieces, places in the bottom of the ramekin (so people get a surprise when they dig to the bottom!)
Crack the egg in, add in cream, season with garlic soy sauce
Place in pre-heated oven for 200 degree for 7 mins
While waiting for the egg in oven, cut up any style of rustic bread in long strip, top with some olive oil, then grill until it's golden brown
Add black pepper and coriander when baked egg is ready, serve with grill bread!!
I added another tiny tiny amount of garlic soy sauce at the end, just to bring out the flavour!
You can make your own garlic soy sauce, or buy the pre-made ones in Chinese supermarket.

Chardonnay, Other Whites and Dessert Wines are the best wines to pair with Chinese Style Smoked Salmon Baked Egg With Rustic Bread.

Press release from Business Wire
EA and DreamWorks Lift the Curtain on Need for Speed the Movie

 'Breaking Bad' Star Aaron Paul Enters the World of Underground Racing in a Quest for Revenge… and Redemption – Coming to Theaters March 14, 2014

Monday, June 10, 2013
EA and DreamWorks Lift the Curtain on Need for Speed the Movie17:30 EDT Monday, June 10, 2013
LOS ANGELES (Business Wire) -- Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3)
Today Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) and DreamWorks Studios debuted the first behind the scenes footage from next Spring's theatrical release, the action racing film Need for Speed, based on the best-selling videogame franchise from EA. The film's star, Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), took center stage during "The Download: EA 2013 Preview" to unveil the footage, alongside the custom Ford Mustang he drives in the film.The car is part of an exclusive partnership between DreamWorks and Ford Motor Company for the movie. This one-of-a-kind vehicle will crossover from the big screen to the highly anticipated videogame, Need for Speed Rivals, which will be available this holiday, beginning November 19, 2013.
Need for Speed Rivals is playable for E3 attendees on the show floor at the EA Booth (South Hall #1601) this week, Tuesday June 11 through Thursday, June 13. You can watch the official E3 trailer for Need for Speed Rivals, "Cops vs. Racers" here: Need for Speed Rivals Trailer - Cops vs. Racers (Official E3 2013).
Need for Speed marks an exciting return to the great car culture films of the 1960s and '70s, tapping into what makes the American myth of the open road so appealing. The story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country journey for our heroes—one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. Featuring the same exciting elements that has made Need for Speed one of the best-selling franchises in games – hot cars, epic chases and high-octane action, the film stars Aaron Paul, Imogen Poots (V for Vendetta) and Dominic Cooper (Captain America: The First Avenger). Need for Speed is penned by George Gatins with writing partner and brother John Gatins (Flight) and directed by Scott Waugh (Act of Valor). The film will open in theaters worldwide beginning March 14, 2014.
"The Need for Speed movie will embody everything that fans of action racing films want to see – hot cars, high stakes street racing and mind-blowing stunts," said Scott Waugh, Director of Need for Speed the movie. "The adrenaline fueled story across America will keep viewers on the edge of their seats."
Need for Speed Rivals is the newest entry to EA's best-selling racing franchise. A collaboration between Ghost Games and Criterion Games, Need for Speed Rivals glorifies the heat of competition in the legendary rivalry of cops and racers. Gamers play as either a cop or racer, where each side of the law has its own set of high stakes challenges, rewards and consequences. This time, the stakes are at their highest as racers put their Speed Points on the line and risk losing them all if busted. Developed on the advanced Frostbite™ 3 engine, Need for Speed Rivals also introduces the revolutionary All Drive system that erases the line between single player and multiplayer, automatically connecting gamers to their friend's racing world. Paths will cross on the open road, creating a world where no two moments will ever be the same.
Need for Speed Rivals will be available on November 19, 2013 for the Xbox 360® games and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PC. The game will launch later this year on Xbox One®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and on PlayStation 4.

Kekra: WW-II Trucks as Public Transport
Though not ancient as a Jain Temple, these WW-II trucks were the main mode of public transportation until recently, when there were no proper roads around Nagarparkar and Thar Desert, . Then people used to travel in its big trunk while keep standing as there are usually no seating arrangements. A local told me that it used to take 10 hours to cover the distance which can now be done in a couple of hours!
It was the former President Musharraf who carried massive development around Thar - although I am not his supporter but one should be appreciated of their good deeds even if they were a dictator!
Some of these trucks are still running in the far flung areas of Thar and can be seen around Nagarparkar also. They are called 'Kekra', which means 'crab' - because of their ability to move on the sand. Although they belong to a remote area but they are not behind other areas of the country when it comes to the traditional Pakistani Truck Art!

Rescue Service in the Desert
While we were going to Kasbo - a town ahead of Nagarparkar and near the Pakistan-India border, our coaster got stuck in the Desert!
Then I was thinking that we would have been better off with a Kekra!
After guys wasted all their energy in pushing the coaster out of the deep sand, a local suggested to call the state-of-the-art Desert Rescue Service, i.e. a tractor which is otherwise used for agriculture!
Apart from the fact that it was powerful enough to bring the urban coaster out of it, the decoration on the tractor perfectly depicted the colorful nature of Thar life.

The Racing Bull Cart of Nagarparkar
Bull Carts are not only the most efficient transport around Nagarparkar, especially for short distances, but they are considered as status symbol also.
They are used to carry goods, water drums, and obviously people on desert treks. I requested this guy to give us a ride who agreed happily. It was a lifetime experience as these powerful bulls, with beautiful crescent horns, can run faster than humans I guess - so we had to sit really tight otherwise we could have fallen with one small jerk!

Public Transport: Nagarparkar to Naukot
Before departing for this trip I tried to find out a public transport direct from Karachi to Nagarparkar but for no avail.
While strolling around Nagarparkar, I saw this bus - which was the only bus I saw there - which was reportedly going to Naukot. From Naukot, one can find another transport to go beyond.
The guy was interested in me as there were little passengers and quoted around Rs. 240 for Nagarparkar-Naukot. But if I were to take the bus, I would rather prefer alighting at Mithhi which is halfway between Nagarparkar and Naukot as Mithhi is a bigger city then Naukot hence more chances to get a direct transport to Karachi, or other cities in Sind.
Sometime back I read this blog written by a fellow traveler who took public transport all the way to Nagarparkar and found that pretty useful for reference: Tharparkar!

Karachi to Nagarparkar Transportation Guide
Karachi to Nagarparkar is a serious undertaking; around 500km, which translates into 10 hours of almost continuous driving. Crossing through Thar Desert, the drive can easily be prolonged if one fails to avoid enroute stops, which at times become enchantingly inevitable as there are many difficult to miss sights on the way.
So ultimately we did that in more than 24 hours!
But after the trip, I can easily suggest that it was completely worth it.
On the way up we took, Karachi-Hyderabad-Mirpurkhas-Naukot-Mithi-Nagarparkar route.
That included a stopover at Naukot city with an overview of its picturesque Fort, a sojourn at Mithi for tea and Gaddi Bhit - the sand dune, an insight into a typical Thari village around sunset, and a not-so-inevitable overnight stay at Mirpurkhas right at the start of the journey.
On the way back, the plan was to go via Umerkot, which had to be abandoned because of lack of time.
Road Condition
Karachi to Nagarparkar route can be divided into three sections; the last one, i.e. Naukot to Nagarparkar, is ~180 km paved road which passes through the heart of Thar Desert. This part can be done in 3-4 hours without stops, however, 5-6 hours would be a realistic timeline including sightseeing and food stopovers first at Naukot and then at Mithi, later one being the district headquarter and the busiest town around.
First section, i.e. Karachi to Hyderabad, can easily be done with the standard Super Highway; ~160 km and 2-3 hours.
For the middle section, i.e. Hyderabad to Naukot, we made a detour to include Mirpurkhas in the itinerary. That made it 160 km, 3 hours, including the additional 25 km. Hyderabad-Mirpurkhas via Tando Allahyar road is newly built but there was a protest going on then stopping the traffic for odd one hour. Mirpurkhas-Naukot patch was the worst in the whole trip due to the road deterioration.
Karachi to Hyderabad: 160km | 2-3 hours | moderately good road
Hyderabad to Naukot via Mirpurkhas: 160km | >3 hours | second part was bad
Naukot to Nagarparkar: 180km | 3-6 hours | pretty decent road
Alternate Route
There is an entirely alternate route which passes through Badin and Diplo and joins the above route directly at Mithi. This route is even lesser traveled which I would definitely like to take next time when I will be heading to the East. So if you have an experience with this alternate route, especially with the Badin-Diplo-Mithi section, please do enlighten me.
Other Considerations: Food, Cellular Connectivity, Security, etc*
Food was available throughout the road and we easily found good quality meals and tea with the help of our instincts. Cellular connectivity was also better then expected - very few outages when we were traveling deep in the desert between two towns. We did not feel insecure at any moment. From the face of it, it appeared that even opportunistic theft is not so common around desert. People looked friendly, harmless, and laid-back. Nonetheless, Farrukh arranged for a policeman which was handy at the check-posts, etc. Taking identity documents would be wise as this is a border area and foreigners might require some sort of permission or registration - so better check beforehand.

Moorpark to ask Caltrans to ban some trucks from Highway 118
The Moorpark City Council will ask Caltrans to consider barring trucks with three or more axles from traveling on a state highway that runs through Moorpark.
At its meeting this week, the council unanimously agreed to put the request in a comment letter on a state project intended to improve the intersection of Highways 118 and 34 in Somis.
Comments on the project's draft environmental impact report are due to the California Transportation Department by Wednesday.
The council thinks proposed alternatives to improve the intersection, such as widening the road or adding turn lanes, fail to address the large number of trucks that travel on the part of the 118 that runs through Moorpark to Somis.
Councilman Keith Millhouse said a separate Ventura County project to realign Donlon Road so it joins the same intersection where the two state highways meet would help Somis residents have safe access but do nothing to improve the route for Moorpark residents.
Millhouse suggested asking Caltrans to ban vehicles with three or more axles except those making local deliveries.
Moorpark once made a similar request to Caltrans but was told it couldn't be done.
"At the time, that was correct. But it's been done in other places, and I think that it never hurts to start asking again and see what if anything can be done," Millhouse said.
Moorpark Mayor Janice Parvin said many trucks that come through Moorpark and Somis on the 118 do so to avoid a truck inspection on Highway 101.
Millhouse agreed and said the 118 isn't designed for large trucks. Caltrans has no funding to improve the road, and improvements suggested by the state agency have been opposed by residential groups such as Save Our Somis, he said.
"If (Caltrans) is not going to improve (the highway), then put the trucks on the roadways that they are designed to be on," Millhouse said.
David Bobardt, community development director for Moorpark, said the final environmental impact report can analyze a truck ban and determine whether it is feasible.
The council Wednesday also unanimously approved a final city budget that closed an approximate $1.3 million deficit and left Moorpark with a projected surplus of $1,327. To balance the budget, the city is using $600,000 of general fund reserves and reducing the operating budget for police services by about $247,000.
"We have continuing concerns with the need for additional revenue to avoid future cuts," City Manager Steve Kueny said.

'Today' takes top prize at Africa's largest film festival
OUAGADOUGOU—A French-Senegalese director's film about a man who knows he will die at the end of the day took the top prize Saturday at Africa's largest film festival, Fespaco in Burkina Faso.
"Aujourd'hui" (Today) by director Alain Gomis follows Satche, played by American hip hop musician and slam poet Saul Williams, on what he and those close to him somehow know will be the last day of his life.
The film took Fespaco's top prize, the Yennenga Etalon d'Or, at the closing ceremony of the festival's 23rd edition before an audience of some 15,000 people in Burkina capital Ouagadougou's main stadium.
Williams also won the best actor prize for his near-silent role in the film, which was an official selection at the Berlin 2012 film festival.
Second prize went to "Yema" by Algerian director Djamila Sahraoui, the story of a mother whose family is torn apart by an Islamist attack. Sahraoui both directed and starred in the film.
Nearly 170 films from all over the continent were shown during the week-long bi-annual festival, which was launched in 1969.
All the juries this year were presided by women, with the jury for the Etalon d'Or headed by French cinema legend Euzhan Palcy.

Sailing Capital of the........
I was reading another ad that claimed to be the "Sailing Capital of the World".
The two most common I see claim the title are Newport, RI and Annapolis, MD. I've seen the Bahamas give it a shot, as well as the Virgin Island (US and British)and several more.
I admit, I'm partial to voting for Newport. I've been coming to Narragansett Bay for 25 years and know I still haven't seen it all. Within a few hours sail, there are multiple islands and even more destinations on the Bay, if you aren't up to a coastal passage. You can head down Long Island Sound or up Buzzards Bay and spend a lifetime trying to get to all the ports. You can have anything from a 5 star experience to a quiet anchorage and everything in between. And summer sailing conditions are usually ideal, absent the threat of hurricane.
While I love the Annapolis area, it seems all admit that the summer is hot, humid and has light wind.
So, let's hear where you believe is the Sailing Capital of the World. I'm sure our international friends aren't going to just let the US run away with the title.

By OOI KOK CHUEN email@example.com
Record sales for some works, but generally sombre showing at art auction.
FIVE stellar records for artists were set in the Malaysian Modern and Contemporary Art Auction (MMCAA) in Kuala Lumpur on Dec 2. The buoyancy pumped up by the big-ticket items belied an otherwise insipid "under-performing" outing for the lower-rung/bit-player works out of the 108 works on the block.
In the auction proper, 18 works were not sold but more sombre was that 40 works were sold below the low-estimates even after adding premiums and out of these, 33 were sold at opening bid prices!
The biggest casualty was Datuk Hoessein Enas' Gelora, an unusual landscape for the portrait pioneer. There were no takers even for a RM65,000 opening gambit.
The relative lacklustre scenario was in stark contrast to its inaugural auction, then known as the Malaysian Indonesian Modern and Contemporary Art Auction (MIMCAA), at the same Sheraton Imperial venue on Sept 30, which registered 87% success (with post-sales) for a RM2.76mil turnover.
Still, this auction rallied to a creditable RM2,467,360 turnover in the auction proper. Post-auction sale, however, was 89%. Clearly, this outing was a party for Latiff Mohidin, Yusof Ghani, Abdullah Ariff, Khalil Ibrahim and Ismail Latiff.
Latiff, who is also an Asian-class poet laureate and at 74 the "last one standing" of the Big Three, was the top grosser in the auction. His Landscape Rimba (1995) achieved a remarkable premium of RM715,000, eclipsing his previous record of RM572,000 set at the Henry Butcher (HB) Art Auction 2011. The Latiff frenzy was such that if someone were to put up anything Latiff, it would be sold: his three paper works all did exceptionally well.
Datuk Ibrahim Hussein, one of the Big Three, came in at No 2 when his Untitled (1996) monochrome of fused forms fetched RM308,000 but well below his record of RM797,500 – still the record for the highest price paid for a Malaysian painting at an auction although he is the only Malaysian artist to have sold a piece for more than RM1mil! His latest performance somewhat redeemed a flagging "interest" in the last two (different) auctions.
Yusof Ghani leapfrogged into the Big League when his Siri Tari II (1984-85) done in the United States shinkansen-ed up to RM190,000 (premium: RM209,000) from an RM8,000 overture. It was a new Yusof personal best – less than two months after he sold at RM93,500 premium at the HB October 2012 auction, also for a Siri Tari. His five other works in this auction were also sold.
Batik art pioneer Datuk Chuah Thean Teng was fourth despite his Harvesting (1991) reaping only RM77,000 but another Penang pioneer artist, Abdullah Ariff, breached his record twice with RM44,000 and then RM55,000 for two brilliant watercolours from the family estate.
Ismail Latiff, introduced at the first MIMCAA, soared high when his mesmeric, magical canvas Lembah Bayangan Rembulan... Mahligai Kayangan "conjured" a RM52,800 premium. His other work, sold at RM33,000, also breached his previous RM28,600 record.
Khalil Ibrahim, who is recovering from a stroke, also hit the RM52,800 mark but that is still below his painting record of RM57,000 set at HB2011. However, it was a new record for his batik work when his large 1983 batik, Abstract, went for RM33,000 by the same phone bidder who first tested the waters at RM14,000.
The other notable batik artist, Datuk Tay Mo-Leong, known for his innovative double-resist technique, scored RM24,200 for a 1958 work (Padi Farmers) and RM15,400 for his opalescent Stone Flower work. Batik artist Ismail Mat Husin, who has enjoyed a spectacular revival in the last two years, grossed RM11,000 – well below his RM26,400 record set at the HB October 2012. There were highly unusual price movements, however, for two relatively obscure batik artists – Tan Thean Song and Kwan Chin, both in their 60s.
While there was the inevitable "migration" of artists from HB to MMCAA, this auction saw 10 more artists making their debut. They had an uneventful outing except for Melayu Pop artist Haron Mokhtar, whose Muslim Shrine, Penang, fetched a RM8,800 premium – well clear of its RM5,000 low-estimate.
All the nine younger artists, those born 1970 and later, were range-bound in the low-estimates while two did not elicit any interest.
Other artists who managed to sell in the five digits were New York-based duo Eng Tay and Lee Long Looi; Amron Omar; Datuk Syed Ahmad Jamal – the third of the Big Three (only paper works); Datuk Sharifah Fatimah Zubir; Rafiee Abdul Ghani; Ahmad Zakii Anwar; Khoo Sui Hoe; Jolly Koh; Ahmad Khalid Yusof; Raphael Scott Ahbeng; Peter Liew; Singaporean pioneers Cheong Soo-Pieng and Chen Wen-Hsi; and the only Indonesian, Jeihan Sukmantoro.
While some saw some of the prices as lukewarm, the bargain-hunters were obviously delighted. Three works were a steal, all coincidentally sold at RM7,150 each: Cheah Yew Saik's 1963 Cubist oil called Return From The Sea; Lye Yau Fatt's vintage-1986 drybrush called Edge of Temple; and Peter Liew's Kampung Scene from his vintage 1996-97 years.
KL Lifestyle Art Space owner Datuk Gary Thanasan, who organised the auction, also conducted the event as in his previous auction. Thanasan said that at that first auction, some 194 paddle-boards were taken up but that only a third were active bidders.
Going by the same yardstick, the uptake was only a third of the numbers in the first auction. While the floor was relatively thinner in actual bidding, the phone bidders truly saved the day albeit clearly with a Latiff bias.
While prices may climb phenomenally in an auction, the 10% seller's and 10% buyer's premiums are lower than the 40%/50% hike normally charged by commercial galleries, but which generally hawk more recent works of artists.
There will be finger-pointing at the general lukewarm response: same auction being held just two months of each other, five auctions a year, buyers' fatigue, undeveloped "market", holiday season (collectors on annual vacation), the JLo concert ...
But then, RM2.47mil is not something to be scoffed at.
