Two eminent doctors, who are also Directors of AMRI Hospitals, Dhakuria, where a devastating fire last month claimed several lives, were arrested by the police here on Friday taking the number of persons arrested in connection with the case to 13.
Dr. Mani Chhetri and Dr. Pronab Dasgupta were arrested from their homes at 9 a.m. and remanded to police custody till February 2 by a city court later in the day.
Nonagenarian Dr. Mani Chhetri is a renowned doctor and was the Managing Director of the hospital and Chairman of the Managing Committee. Dr. Dasgupta was a member of both the Board of Directors and the Managing Committee. Later, Dr. Mani Chhetri was admitted to the government SSKM Hospital here after he complained of illness.
Asked why the police waited for nearly 50 days before making the arrests, Damayanti Sen, Joint-Commissioner of Police (Crime) of Kolkata Police said they wanted to ensure that they were involved in the day-to-day operations of the hospital and that there was sufficient documentary evidence.
"Dr. Chhetri's name is mentioned in the license of the hospital and he is signatory to the Memorandum of Understanding for the setting up of the pharmacy. Dr. Dasgupta was also involved in the daily operations," Ms. Sen said.
With these arrests and the look-out notice issued against three other directors of the hospital, the government-nominees on the Board of Directors of AMRI Hospitals, Dhakuria are the only directors against whom the Kolkata Police are yet to take any action.
Sukumar Bhattacharya, special secretary of the State's Health department and Asim Das were representatives of the State government in the Board of Directors.
"We are interrogating them to find out the extent to which they were involved in the operations of the hospital," Ms. Sen said, adding that both of them had attended the meetings of the Board of Directors.
There were certain decisions taken, such as the construction of an office in the parking lot or the fact that patients were not evacuated from the premises of the hospital, which resulted in such a large tragedy. It will have to be seen who were responsible for these decisions, she said.
Seven directors of the hospital were arrested on December 9, the day of the tragedy. Later look-out notices were issued for Rahul Todi, Priti Surekha and Aditya Agarwal, who are absconding. Four employees of the hospital were arrested for their role in connection with the case.

A review by Maddalena Harris:
"Album leaf" by Saint Saens performed by Isabella and James set the stage for what evolved into a wonderful evening of music appreciation. This masterful piano duet highlighted the skillful interplay of two artistes and the written notes on the sheet. For these gifted pianists to interpret great music and then share these works of genius.. well what can I say but its a beautiful thing! (especially for those of us whose lives are enriched through music). Bravo tutti due! Bass-Baritone, Gary commands the stage when he sang "La calunnia" from Rossini's Barber of Seville. Later on we were treated to a Broadway classic, "Luck be a lady tonight," from Guys and Dolls. Gary demonstrates that opera singers are a versatile bunch, and lightening up the drama and depth of opera is a refreshing departure every now and then. Soprano, Danielle takes us to Rome when she performs "Vissi d'arte" from Tosca, a heart wrenching plea to God to release her from her tragic circumstance. We all share in her sorrow as she sings in a most engaging fashion,"Dio, why have done me this way." Tenor, Arthur performed for us "Ecco ridente" from Barber of Seville. Arthur's love of opera is not lost on us. We feel his portrayal of Count Almaviva in this aria is of one whose heart is in his hands and his vulnerability gets him caught in life's fickle paths. This is the charge to the singers, to take what the great composers write about send it out there for us to make of it as we will. Art imitates life, and the opera composers know this all too well. "Ecco ridente" is an example of the bel canto style. The words melodic and poetic as one stanza reads,"O moments of love ! Oh sweet contentedness! Precious moment it has no equal!" Thank-you, Arthur. The vastness of the opera world is ours for the asking and soprano, Theresa's repertoire is impressive. Singing "Quando m'en vo," she vamps it up, sits with our patrons at the cafe and lets us know in no uncertain terms that "men find her most desireable." Cheryl is a soprano with a flair for center stage and she easily enveloped us in sweet refrain when she sang "Vilia" by Lehar. James presented Lizst's "Tristan and Isolda" transcription. Our listeners were enrapt. This is no ordinary work in the piano literature. In spite of its difficulty and demands, James managed to caress each note that needed caressing and dominated the notes that called for his control and passion. He leaves us wanting more, and yet we remained fully sated and happy. But then we expect nothing less of a pianist who is complex, driven, sweet and intense. As a bit of trivia,it took Vladimir Horowitz three days to record this piece to his satisfaction and then four days later he died in Nov.1989.
The Opera Night staff would like to thank the Universalist Unitarian for its generosity of heart and enthusiasm for the arts. We look ahead for a busy November and December. Check our web site for details, www.operanight.org

A note from our assistant director:
What has become of our Opera House?
Inisfada: 1920-2013
demolished, Dec. 2013
Dreams are never dashed, only transformed and created anew. Adversity
can empower us in our quest to further the good news about opera. All our
patrons know that one of our biggest and most triumphant galas took
place in the Manhasset mansion "Inisfada" on May 19, 2013. How we
dreamed and fantasized having our own Opera home there, made many
phone calls and worked hard towards that goal. Although that majestic
estate has been reduced to rubble, it only served to strengthen our resolve
to shore up the new "Opera Night" series in many positive ways. Our board
of directors have grown in numbers, and we hold brainstorming
sessions often to see how we can change, grow and improve. Our schedule
of events are planned in six month increments and are usually posted in
the back of our programs. The monies we raise are judiciously spent towards
this end, many times on a shoe string budget. We have gained our
not for profit status and our generous contributors can accrue tax incentives
by donating. The stipends we can give our singers assures us of their
professionalism and participation in our concerts. Our contacts are growing
as is our wonderful reputation. 2014 will see additional venues, new
singers, and excitement that grows with every performance. We now can
offer free passes to newcomers, with hopes that they fall in love with what we
do. Let us know your ideas, help us fund our projects and bring friends to
make a great night of it!

Who Are We?
Opera Night Long Island is a not-for-profit community-based arts organization. It started seven years ago when Isabella Eredita Johnson took command of a honky-tonk piano at Caffe Portafino on Main Street in Northport and invited a handful of residents each month to enjoy an evening of classical music. Since then, Opera Night's audiences have grown substantially. Our performances now take place at St. Paul's Church and other venues on Long Island. Audiences typically number between 100 and 200 people.
What Do We Do?
Nowadays, attending an opera or a classical music concert in New York City can cost a family hundreds of dollars. At Opera Night Long Island, we provide quality performances for a fraction of that amount at easily accessible local venues. Although our concerts focus primarily on opera arias, our professional artists also perform art songs, Neapolitan classics, show tunes, and piano pieces. Enthusiastic audiences enjoy listening to a variety of musical masterpieces.

GTX 680 -which one to get?
So right now everything is out of stock everywhere but curious I looked at EVGA page and see they have 4 different models
Gtx 680 - Standard
Gtx 680 - Super clocked
Gtx 680 - Super clocked with backplate
Gtx 680 - Hydro copper
Is it really worth getting once of these that is Overclocked? Or just overclock it myself? Trying to figure out, originally my budge was $500 so going much more then that is pushing it.
Re: GTX 680 -which one to get?
EVGA usually also have some higher end overclocks down the line like the FTW version. The preoverclocked parts should be a little higher binned, but seeing how modest the sc clocks are, I'd say they are just reference bins with a different clock default.
Re: GTX 680 -which one to get?
Re: GTX 680 -which one to get?
I got the Standard one.
I'm not sure 50Mhz overclock is worth an extra $10 for the Superclocked versions, but I went with what was available (and they sold out 3 minutes after my order).
I was going to get a Hydro Copper... but $200 extra for a water block... EVGA is smokin' crack. I can pick up a water block later for around $100, if I feel the need. But Honestly, I think I'm going to stick with an Air Cooled GPU, and keep my CPU Liquid cooled for now. Since I run a 1280x1024 monitor still... I have absolutely zero need to overclock the overkill of a GTX680. :D
Re: GTX 680 -which one to get?
wow...or to own a 680 period lol
Re: GTX 680 -which one to get?
Re: GTX 680 -which one to get?
ITT: How not to prioritize.
Re: GTX 680 -which one to get?
A display that does 1080 should be your next purchase to fully enjoy the benefits of that 680! :)
Re: GTX 680 -which one to get?
I need to update my Signature as well...I just got last week
Asus 25 inch
along with an SSD drive
Re: GTX 680 -which one to get?
One of the advantages of sticking to my old 1280x1024 monitor, is that my 8800GTX lasted 5 years. That's a record for me, since I was replacing video cards every 1.5 - 2 years. Of course, the slow down in the PC Game market helped too (As, in not as many titles worth a darn for the PC in recent years). If I do stick to 1280x1024, I should be easily able to run everything at max settings + max AA / AF for another 5 years. :D
Re: GTX 680 -which one to get?
Congrats on the 680
Re: GTX 680 -which one to get?
I'm holding off to see whether the 4gig cards offer any substantial difference when gaming @ 2560x1440 over the standard 2 gig card.

Get Met Opera Close to Home ; Production Simulcast to Local Movie Theaters
By David Belcher For the Journal
Nudity, nuclear annihilation, Satan and insanity — just another day in the world of opera at your local movie theater.
The Metropolitan Opera's hugely successful live simulcast program continues nationwide in September, and tickets go on sale for screenings at two New Mexico theaters Aug. 22 for 11 productions from the company's upcoming 2008-09 season. The opening night gala (featuring Renee Fleming and others performing the second act of "La Traviata," the third act of "Manon," and the final scene of "Capriccio") kicks off the season of simulcasts on Monday, Sept. 22, and Rossini's "La Cenerentola" ends the season on May 9.
The United Artists Cottonwood 16 in Albuquerque and the Lensic Performing Arts Center in Santa Fe, which is presenting the simulcasts in conjunction with the Santa Fe Opera, are the two host theaters in New Mexico. Once again, the simulcasts' popularity prompted the Met to expand the number of productions from eight to 11.
Santa Fe Opera fans will recognize several singers in the Met's lineup of eight simulcasts. Most notably is Natalie Dessay, who will sing the title role of "La Sonnambula" on March 21. She sang the same role to great acclaim in 2004 at the Santa Fe Opera, where she will return next summer to sing her first "La Traviata." In the Met's new production of "La Sonnambula" she will be paired — as she was last season in "La Fille du Regiment" — with Juan Diego Florez, one of the opera world's most soughtafter tenors.
Several others singers from the Met's simulcasts will be familiar to Santa Fe Opera fans. Gerald Finley, who will play Robert Oppenheimer in John Adams' modern opera "Dr. Atomic," sang in "L'amour de Loin" at the Santa Fe Opera in 2002, and Stephanie Blythe, who has a home in Santa Fe and sang in "L'italiana in Algeri" in 2004, sings the trouser role of Orfeo in Gluck's "Orfeo ed Euridice." And New Mexico resident Susan Graham sings in Berlioz's "The Damnation of Faust," the first Met performance since 1907 of the rarely performed opera.
Other productions in this season's simulcast lineup: "Salome," with soprano Karita Mattila returning to the title role with a brief scene of full frontal nudity (this production was a massive hit several seasons back for the Met); "Thais" starring Renee Fleming and Thomas Hampson in Massenet's melodramatic soap opera; "La Rondine," Puccini's jewel of an opera, starring Angela Gheorghiu and Roberto Alagna; "Lucia di Lammermoor," a return of the Met's production from last season, starring international superstar Anna Netrebko; "Madama Butterfly," the popular production imported from the English National Opera and directed by the late Anthony Minghella; and "La Cenerentola," the Rossini opera about Cinderella in a sort of Dr. Seuss-looking production.
More information is available at www. metoperafamily.org/ metopera/broadcast/hd_ events.aspx.
If you go
Tickets go on sale Aug. 22 for all of the Metropolitan Opera's live simulcasts at two New Mexico movie theaters. (A priority booking period began Aug. 8 for those who donate $125 to the Metropolitan Opera. Visit www.metoperafamily. org/metopera/ broadcast/ hd_events_next.aspx for more information). Tickets ($22 for adults, $20 for seniors, and $18 for children age 11 and under) are available at the United Artists Cottonwood 16 box office or online at www.fandango.com. More information on the entire season is available at www.fathomevents.com/ details.aspx?seriesidb6. Tickets at the Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W. San Francisco St., in Santa Fe, are $22 for adults and $15 for children age 17 and younger, as well as students, and are available at the box office, by phone at (505) 988-1234, or online at www.ticketssantafe. org. All seats are reserved, and all simulcasts include on-screen English subtitles. All times listed are local, which is two hours behind the live broadcasts from New York City. The opening night gala is prerecorded that same evening and shown at 7 p.m. MDT.

PORTLAND -- Police have charged a 21-year-old man with aggravated murder after the body of a man was found in a Pearl District apartment building at NW 9th and Lovejoy.
Charles Joseph Lake (pictured below) was also charged with unlawful use of a weapon and was being held with no bail on the aggravated murder charge. He'll make his first court appearance Monday.
Officers were called to the Station Place Tower after reports of a disturbance and found a 64-year-old man dead in one of the units, said Sgt. Pete Simpson.
Residents said they heard a commotion and asked police to check on one of their neighbors.
The officers sent to the apartment called in homicide investigators and criminalists to what Simpson said was clearly a crime scene of some sort. The victim's identity has not yet been released.
Simpson says the suspect and victim were very recent acquaintances. The cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner Saturday.
Everybody s pretty well shaken up because this is something we don t expect because this is a 55 and older apartment, neighbor Gregory Strasser said. Everybody, for the most part, gets along with everybody else, people say hi to each other every day, it s very friendly.
The investigation included a review of the building's entryway security videos, he said. Tenants were also being interviewed.
The Station Place Tower has 176 units intended for people 55 and older, according to a REACH Community Development website. Seventy-six of the units have subsidized rates.

Bubsy 3D (also Bubsy is 3D in Furbitten Planet and Bubsy 3D: Furbitten Planet) is a platform video game developed by Eidetic and published by Accolade and Telstar for the PlayStation video game console (a Sega Saturn version was in development for 1997, but never released). Designed by Michael Berlyn, it was released on October 31, 1996 in North America and in August 1997 in Europe. It is the fourth and final game in the Bubsy series. It is also one of the first 3D platform games, though with limited movement. The game's complete name is a parody of Forbidden Planet, a 1956 sci-fi film.
The game was critically panned and was called one of the worst games of all time by GameTrailers, IGN, and GamesRadar. Many of the major elements of the game received criticism; it has been criticized for its graphics, its controls, and the obnoxious personality of Bubsy.
Gameplay and premise[edit]
Bubsy 3D takes place on the home planet of the Woolies, a species of aliens from the series, called Rayon. An intro video shows that Woolies invaded Earth and kidnapped Bubsy. Their rocket had a problem and Bubsy escaped onto Rayon. The Woolies learn that Bubsy is gathering atoms (which the Woolies consider worthless), and rocket parts to build a rocket ship (which the Woolies also consider worthless). None of the scientist know why Bubsy is doing this, but they believe him to be dangerous. The objective is to defeat the Woolie's two queens, Poly and Esther, and also escape from the planet by collecting rocket parts. In Bubsy 3D, players control the player-character Bubsy, who has several catch phrases that he says based on players' actions. Bubsy is able to walk in a straight line only, requiring players to take time to turn in order to go in a different direction. He can jump high, glide, and swim in certain levels. He defeats enemies by jumping on them, and he has a health system consisting of three health points called "Paw Points". The game consists of 18 levels, with three of them taking place underwater; in these levels, Bubsy has an oxygen meter that depletes over time and his gliding action is replaced by a jetting dive which makes him swim faster, but depletes oxygen quicker. In levels, players can collect items called atoms. If players collect 150 of them, they will go to a bonus round with atoms and extra lives to collect. Lani Minella voices Bubsy in this game.
Development and release[edit]
Bubsy 3D was developed by Eidetic and published by Accolade and Telstar for North America and Europe respectively.[1] It was designed by Michael Berlyn. After the release of Bubsy 2, which Berlyn described as having almost killed the franchise, he and his team began work on Bubsy 3D.[2] He cited the development as a challenge, due to having no experience with controls or tools for drawing environments in 3D.[3] Development started in early 1995 with the Sega 32X as the intended platform, but due to the unsuccessful European release of the 32X, Accolade held back the rights until such time the game could be released on a stable platform. It was released in North America on October 31, 1996 and in Europe in August 1997.[1] A release for the Sega Saturn in Spring of 1997 was planned, based on the original 32X development models, but was ultimately scrapped when the game was unpopular.[4] Due to its release coinciding with Super Mario 64, Berlyn was worried; he felt that Bubsy 3D could have had a chance with early 3D adopters, but that it was outshone by Mario.[2] He attributed the game's failures in part to the coinciding releases. After having seen Super Mario 64 in a much more complete state than Bubsy 3D at a trade show, the team wanted to make it more complex; however, it was late in the development cycle and Accolade was pushing for it to be released.[3]
Bubsy 3D was heavily panned, and is considered one of the worst video games ever made. It holds an aggregate score of 50.90% at Game Rankings based on five reviews.[5] It was given a 4 out of 10 from The Electric Playground, while Electronic Gaming Monthly gave it a 3.25 out of 10.[5] GameTrailers named it the eighth worst video game ever made, calling it a "cheap imitation of a quality product", referencing it as a rip-off of Super Mario 64, a game that was released around the same time.[2][6] Talk show host Scott Rubin called it a "terrible clone". They described the visuals as resembling "painted cardboard boxes", criticizing also Bubsy's one-liners.[6] GameSpot's Peter Criscuola called it the least fun of all the 3D action/platform games for the PlayStation at the time of its release.[7] GamesRadar's Tom Goulter described Bubsy 3D as the video game equivalent to terrible films such as Plan 9 from Outer Space or Battlefield Earth.[8] Seanbaby named it the 17th worst game of all time, criticizing its controls, the character's personality, and the graphics, which he calls "ass". He adds that "you can almost taste how much the Bubsy 3D makers hated the children of America."[9] The cover art boasts praise from "EGM" and "PSExtreme", where it won the magazine's "Gold X Award", however the game received a negative review from the former, suggesting that the quote came instead from a preview piece.
IGN's David Zdyrko called it an "all-time classic debacle".[10] IGN's Levi Buchanan used it as a prominent example of a bad attempt at the transition from 2D to 3D, criticizing its controls as well as the character design, which he says was ruined from the previous games in both appearance and personality.[11] In describing the game, they call it "not-so-loved".[12] IGN noted that it was widely regarded as one of the worst games ever made.[13] 1UP.com called it "wretched" and a "would-be "Mario killer"".[14] GamePro called it a "cash-in job".[15] GameZone's jkdmedia referred to the early days of 3D gaming as the "dark and scary days of Bubsy 3D."[16] He later compared the graphics of Chessmaster: The Art of Learning to this game's, commenting that "even Bubsy 3D is laughing."[17] Kotaku's Michael McWhertor called the unreleased Pac-Man Ghost Zone closer to Bubsy 3D than Super Mario 64.[18]
However, despite almost universal criticism, Absolute PlayStation gave it a score of a 67 out of 100.[19] It also received a 'mediocre' score of 5.5 out of 10 on GameSpot despite its negative response.

Seems to be a hit with the allergy set, with good reason
posted 7 years ago
For dogs with cumulative allergies to preservatives, dyes, etc., this is a choice that's affordable, effective and seems to be tasty to dogs.
Pros: good ingredients, good palatability, good digestability
Cons: non

Spike has allergies so this is the perfect food for him. He loves it and tries to open the bag before we even get it into the dog food bin. I would have to say this is a better price and option then pedigree. Also when you purchase this brand part of the profits go to help animal shelters.
Pros: great taste, healthy
Cons: none

Pushing on them real hard just so we can have the big fun
from A Tribe Called Quest – Buggin' Out Lyrics on Genius
He's saying that they were scheming on the women with the biggest asses — and pushing up on them ('pushing up' on a girl was a term in the 80's for approaching a woman. i.e. 'I pushed up on it' to mean, 'I went to go talk to her.'). So Tip was pushing on them hard, with the actions possibility leading to sex or "big fun".

It was one of Hollywood's most famous rivalries, but Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger are now best buddies.
Schwarzenegger, the governor of California, will return to the silver screen with the film 'Expendables' directed by the 'Rocky' actor and the hatchet has long been buried, reported FHM magazine.
"He's my best friend now. It's strange, given what big rivals we used to be. He's still ridiculously competitive, though. I have a watch, only one of its kind in the world, so I wore it to our last lunch. Arnold was desperate for me to get him one but I had to explain that wasn't possible. He was so mad!" said the 63-year-old Stallone.
The plot of 'The Expendables' centres around a team of mercenaries heading to South America on a mission to overthrow a dictator.
It features a who's who of veteran action actors including Arnold Schwarzenegger, 62, Bruce Willis, 54, Dolph Lundgren, 52, Mickey Rourke, 57, Jet Li, 46, as well as relative youngster Jason Statham, 37.
Stallone, who wrote the script and directed the movie, said that making the film was a testosterone filled adventure.
"Bruce's character, who hires me to do the job the film's based on, turns to me and says, "Look, there's one person I need to talk with before I give you the job." At which point Arnold, who plays my oldest rival, walks out. And the scene goes from there. But man, those guys were up for it," said Stallone.
Keywords: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, rivalry, The Expendables, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Jason Statham

Budget Egypt Tours
Budget Egypt tours don't put any restrictions on the amazing array of sights and attractions that a traveler to Egypt can enjoy. To the contrary, tourists traveling on a budget can still explore the finest historical sites and even visit other destinations outside of Egypt, such as Petra in Jordan.
7 Day Budget Tour of Egypt - Cairo & Luxor
8 Day Egypt Budget Tour - Cairo, Luxor & Hurghada
8 Day Budget Trip to Egypt - Cairo & Luxor-Aswan Nile Cruise
10 Day Egypt Jordan Budget Tour

How to Cut Costs on Budget Egypt Tours
Budget Egypt tours are the ideal solution for the money conscious travelers, and fortunately there are these days plenty of cost-effective Egypt tour packages to choose from. In short, there are Egypt budget tours available that cover all the major attractions in Egypt.
Egypt is one of the richest nations, if not the richest nation in the world as far as ancient history is concerned, but one need not be financially well off themselves in order to visit this nation. There are many ways that one can cut the costs of a trip to Egypt, with budget Egypt tour packages being one of the best options.
Many of the most famous and popular sites in Egypt are grouped together in fairly small geographic areas. For instance, Luxor is home to many of the ancient Egyptian tombs and temples that people the world over come to visit. Cairo, the metropolitan capital of Egypt, is worth seeing for both its modernity, its many ancient pyramids and Old Cairo, the ancient heart of the city that houses the city's main market, the El Khalili Bazaar.
The fascinating Sahara Desert and the Siwa Oasis, can also be included in your private Egypt budget tour. The truth of the matter is, you really do have an almost endless number of choices.
Your Egypt Budget Tour Transportation
Your transportation can also be set up as part of the tour, or booked separately. Most Egypt budget tours will make use of multiple forms of land transportation to get you to your various destinations. Egyptians have an excellent train network that caters for long distance travelers. In the cities, taxis are easy to find and flag down as well, but most tour companies will have private transportation to get you around the city.
Budget Travel to Egypt – What Do You Want To Do?
When choosing your budget Egypt tour, be sure to base it around what you actually want to do, rather than trying to get the most value for your money.
This is a fascinating country and the historical importance is not exaggerated. There are so few societies as ancient and enduring as Egypt's. If you really want to see the pyramids and spend more than one day touring there, then do so. It's wise to spend your money in just a few areas that really interest you rather than spending everything on an overbooked trip.
VIDEO: Discover the Magic of Egypt with Budget Egypt Tours
Cruise the Nile River, explore the ancient pyramids; dive the Red Sea, and step inside royal tombs and temples that have been standing for thousands of years. All of this and more awaits you, and your vacation can easily be planned with our customized budget Egypt tours.
Contact us today and start planning your dream trip with a company that has been offering world class tours of Egypt and the Middle East for nearly six decades. All of our Egypt tour packages are private and fully customizable. We can easily arrange your personal budget Egypt tour package based around your own personal requirement.

Is Margaret Court (24 slams) the GOAT or don't slams matter?

For instance Margaret Court won only 3 Wimbledons and 5 U.S Opens, yet 11 Australian Opens. All 3 events were played on grass to the differential really stands out. Margaret Court won 4 of her Australian Open finals over Jan Lehane, one by a walkover, one by a retirement, one over Lesley Turner a clay court specialist who would never be in a major grass final anywhere else, and one over Kerry Melville whose only ever slam win was an Australian Open (again with virtually all absent and Court now retired) in 77. She has a Grand Slam but so do Steffi Graf and Maureen Connolly, and Graf is who most rate as the GOAT anyway it seems. Martina Navratilova who many also rate as the female GOAT won 6 slams in a row which some rate as valuable as the true Grand Slam. With 3 Wimbledons only on her best surface though, and a weaker Wimbledon record than the clay GOAT Chris Evert, she is not likely to have alot of backing as the GOAT.
It's important to remember that she didn't play hardly at all in 1967, '72 and '74 as she was having children. A lot of that time were her peak years. Was still able to come back and win grand slams.

AC2 on the FX
When I purchased my new PC I installed AC2 at the highest possible quality lvl, which required you to use the 3rd disk for most of the install, now when running at the selected lvl (which was still only high) I had a slow degrade of quality that eventualy made my computer reboot mid-game, the quailty was very very nice until it started to degrade. So I run it now at Medium and it works like a champ, I no longer have any lag with a group full of minors running around, and everything still looks very good, the water detail is amazing. I personaly wouldn't think you will see that much of a difference, even though AC2 claims to be a FX compatible game, with the current drivers it just doesn't allow us to use the full strength of the FX.
****Zimm, how well does AC2 run on the FX?
I have a Radeon 9700 Pro and it's driving me crazy.
Some of my biggest gripes are the problems in AC2... specifically, Pixel Shaders cause all sorts of visual artifacts that get worse over time. Shadows cause horrible lagging.
And the cat 3.3 betas crash after about 30 seconds in game (3.2s crash less often, and 3.0s the least.... funny how that works).
I'm considering the move to a 5800U if I can find one, after reading of BK's satisfaction with the card.
So what problems have you had with AC2? It *is* a system resource hog... but I'm okay with that
No memory leaks in the game (any more) as far as I can tell.***
It flows through my veins like radioactive rubber pants!!

"They had their best tournament of the season," said coach Tanner Dupree. "Four girls in the top ten individuals at the Regional Tournament is very impressive and something I am very proud of.

The classic New Orleans dish of shrimp and grits gets a spicy, smoky flavor twist with Southwest Seasoning.
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1 teaspoon McCormick Gourmet™ Southwest Seasoning
1/2 cup old-fashioned white grits
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons McCormick Gourmet™ Southwest Seasoning
1 pound (26 to 30 count) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
For the Grits, bring milk, water and Seasoning to boil in medium saucepan on medium-high heat. Gradually stir in grits. Reduce heat to low; simmer 12 to 15 minutes, stirring constantly. Add cheese and butter; stir until cheese is melted and grits are smooth. Keep warm. (If thinner consistency is desired, stir in additional milk or water.
For the Shrimp, mix oil, brown sugar and Seasoning in large bowl. Add shrimp; toss to coat well. Thread shrimp onto skewers.
Grill over medium heat 2 minutes per side or just until shrimp turn pink. Serve shrimp over grits.
Test Kitchen Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak thoroughly in water for at least 30 minutes before threading with shrimp. This prevents them from burning when on the grill.
(Amount per serving)

I'm on page 109 in Beerhouse book.
What kind of project do I need to make for the website? The book doesn't instruct on this. Do I choose New project --> Windows Form Application
or Class Library? I'm assuming its a class library but this is all new to me.
Jan 09, 2009 04:04 PM|Lee Dumond|LINK
Class Library. If you notice in the code download, TBHCustomEvents is a class library. Then, you need to add a reference to it in the web site.
Jan 09, 2009 04:12 PM|RaeKC|LINK
Thanks. So when you add the reference while in the solution for the website, it adds in that project file to the website?
Jan 09, 2009 04:34 PM|Lee Dumond|LINK
Not exactly.
You add the class library project to the solution first (right click on Solution, Add Project, Class Library).
Then, you build whatever functionality you want into the library.
Then, you add a reference to the above project from the web site (right click on web site, Add Reference, Projects tab).
Jan 09, 2009 05:53 PM|RaeKC|LINK
Thanks a lot, Lee.
Jan 09, 2009 07:23 PM|RaeKC|LINK
Why do they have two projects under the downloaded chapters for the Beerhouse project? Under chapter 3, 4 & 5 they have a project called TBHCustomEvents AND TBH_CustomEvents .
Jan 09, 2009 08:13 PM|Lee Dumond|LINK
Do they? I have never looked at the individual chapter downloads. That's not right if they have that.
If you look at the main complete download, you will see there is only one class library project called TBHCustomEvents that corresponds to the MB.TheBeerHouse.CustomEvent.dll.
(You will also see TBH_Setup and TBH_Deploy projects which are not class libraries. Don't worry about them for now.)
Jan 09, 2009 10:21 PM|RaeKC|LINK
I double clicked on both of them separately to see what the diff was. When one opened, the entire project opened, with the website solution. On the other one, "TBHCustomEvents" opens by itself without the web solution. Looking at both, its the same code.

Toyota recalls 22,000 units of various models
Toyota Motor Philippines Corp. is recalling 22,000 units of various models that are available in the Philippines.
In a statement sent via e-mail, Toyota said it is recalling Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Vios and Yaris models because of faulty electric windows. These models are mostly manufactured in Japan and Thailand.
"In line with our commitment to produce safety and quality, Toyota has initiated a Special Service Campaign (SSC) for specific Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Vios and Yaris models produced from 2006 to 2010," the company said.
The move is part of Toyota's worldwide recall of 7.4 million vehicles, the company's largest for a single part.
The affected vehicles have a sliding electrical contact point in the driver's side power window master switch that may experience a "notchy" or "sticking feeling" during operation which causes the button to get stuck.
Toyota warned that if vehicles are serviced in non-Toyota dealer and commercially available lubricant is used, the switch assembly may melt.
The recall in the Philippines is part of a global recall of 7.43 million vehicles.
Toyota said it is already starting to identify and inform owners of affected vehicles. Riza T. Olchondra

Filipinos in US boycott Chinese products
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—A group of Filipinos based in the United States, who led a worldwide day of protest against China in May, is spearheading a continuous boycott of Chinese products.
Loida Nicolas-Lewis, chair of the US Pinoys for Good Governance (USP4GG), said the group's move to stop using all kinds of Chinese products was a way of matching China's diplomatic and military arrogance in claiming Panatag Shoal and the Kalayaan Group of Islands in the West Philippine Sea.
The USP4GG is an umbrella organization of professional Filipinos with a membership of thousands.
"The 'Boycott China Products Initiative' will not be limited to Filipinos. This campaign will be carried out worldwide," Lewis said in a press conference.
Immigration lawyer Ted Laguatan, the group's spokesperson, said he expected the campaign to go viral.
"We hope to achieve the level of response and outrage that was generated when the Americans found out that the US Olympic team's uniforms for the London 2012 Olympics were made in China, despite being designed by Ralph Lauren, who is a distinctively American designer," Laguatan said.
Laguatan further said that China's claim to the Kalayaan Group of Islands and Panatag Shoal, which are within the Philippines' 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone, should not be taken seriously.
"As a basis of their claim, they are using a 2,000-year-old map produced during the Han Dynasty which showed that all the territory covered by the waters of the South China Sea belonged to China.
"The argument is about as valid as Italy claiming that the whole of Europe and parts of Africa and Asia are theirs because it was once a part of the Roman Empire, or Macedonia claiming also most of Europe and Africa because it was once part of the Alexandrian Empire," Laguatan said.
"It is no wonder China does not want the United Nations' International Tribunal on the Laws of the Sea to settle the issue regarding its claim. They know the ridiculous argument will fail," he added.

Just A Pretty Face(Book)? Social Media Tries To Come Of Age
Date Added: May 2010
Format: HTML
Emails are old hat; SMSs passes. Tweeting, blogging, and posting on "walls" are no longer the domain of the under-30s. They have become a staple of the way most people in the world communicate today, of the way Fortune 100 companies reach out to customers old and new. Social media have spawned a whole new support industry. Companies such as Trender, Attentio and Nielsen BuzzMetrics monitor and analyse all the data which can be retrieved from electronic transactions - be they messages, purchases and everything in-between. BuyWithMe, Groupon and LivingSocial integrate social media on behalf of merchants, taking a percentage of the revenues.

Sam Branson and his wife Isabella Calthorpe have revealed the first pictures of their amazing wedding.
Sir Richard Branson's son married actress Isabella in an extravagant five-day event last week, tying the knot at his dad's South African game reserve.
Wearing a white tuxedo, Sam complemented Isabella, who chose to wear a bespoke Monique Lhuillier gown, rumoured to cost £10,000.
The pair, who have been dating for eight years, apparently wed under a sacred tree on a hill overlooking the reserve - which is owned by Sir Richard and sits on the edge of Kruger National Park.
Isabella, who famously turned down Prince William during his short split from Kate Middleton, said she wanted to be "close to nature" during her nuptials.
She told Hello!: "There's something about being so close to nature that just makes you feel alive.
"You're connected to nature at its most raw; you're in the animals' environment and you're very aware of that, and that's what's so exciting about the place.
"To me, going on safari is one of the most incredible experiences you can have. So, for our families and friends to be able to share in something we love so much as part of our wedding celebrations is wonderful."
The 33-year-old walked down the aisle while her sister - Prince Harry's latest girlfriend - Cressida 'Cressie' Bonas, sang 'Our Love is Here to Stay'.

Beatrice told Hello!: "The ceremony was so emotional and beautiful. Sam did so well not crying - but none of the rest of us can say the same. There was hardly any point in wearing make-up."

British authorities have rubbished claims that anti-Israel activists in this country could seek the arrest of IDF commandos who were involved in the Gaza flotilla incident five years ago.
The International Criminal Court has said it will not launch a war crimes investigation into the Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound ship in 2010, in which nine Turkish activists were killed.
The Turkish law firm that submitted the case said it would apply for a review of the decision.
ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said that although there was a "reasonable basis" to believe that Israel commi
The International Criminal Court will not action over Israel's raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla in which nine Turkish activists were killed in 2010.
Chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said that despite having "reasonable basis" to believe war crimes had been committed, the incident would not be of "sufficient gravity" to justify further action by the ICC.
The international Criminal Court is considering whether to open a criminal investigation into Israel's May 2010 raid on the Turkish vessel Mavi Marmara that left nine people dead.
The ICC said that it was following up on a request for a probe from the African country of Comoros, due to the fact that one of the vessels in the flotilla bore the Indian Ocean island's flag.
Israel's apology to Turkey in relation to the deaths of nine of its citizens in the Gaza flotilla incident was supposed to have paved the way to a rapprochement between the two former allies, but the Turkish government now appears to be dragging its feet.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly apologised to his Turkish counterpart for the deaths of Turkish citizens in the Gaza flotilla incident.
Mr Netanyahu is said to have called Recep Tayyip Erdoğan shortly before US president Barack Obama left Israel on Friday afternoon.
In 1983, Bob Dylan, formerly Robert Allan Zimmerman, released the album Infidels. One of its outstanding tracks was the song Neighborhood Bully which many supporters of both Dylan and Israel alike saw as a brilliant justification of Israel and her right to self-defence.
The Guardian has been forced to clarify a story about the May 2010 Gaza flotilla, which tried to breach the Israeli blockade, suggesting that anti-Israel activists on board had been unarmed.
The story, published in May, reported on the Israeli government offering £4 million in compensation to the families of Turkish activists killed on the Mavi Marmara ship, which led the flotilla.
There is evidence to suggest that IHH, the Islamic charity that helped organise the 2010 flotilla to Gaza, has been involved in gun-running to Syria on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Free Syrian Army commanders have told The Times that a boat containing weapons that docked in Syria this week was registered to members of the IHH, which has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
More than two years after relationship between Israel and Turkey soured in the wake of the clashes over the Gaza flotilla, the British government is attempting to rebuild ties between them.
According to Haaretz, which spoke to an Israeli official, British envoys have been acting as go-between for Israel and Turkey for several weeks, delivering messages from the leaders of both.
