The current explanation for this dryer is OK. My harmony series with the computer connection, has some changes, e.g. there's more screws to get the top cover assembly off. Once the from panel (with door) is taken off. The rest remains the essentially the same. Disconnecting the electrical terminals on the back side of the white blower cowling was a challenge. My wife's smaller hands were the only way we could reconnect. They came apart when we pulled the cowling out - and that was a "hold your mouth right" experience. Reassembly was clean. Motor worked on the first try.

Twickenham Things to Do
York House Gardens
York House dates back to the 17th century and today acts as offices for the London Borough of Richmond, in which Twickenham is situated. Its grounds are open to the public and still retain the sense of being the gardens of a stately home rather than a local park. The house was formerly owned by an Indian industrialist, Sir Ratan Tata, and these...more
Eel Pie Island: music and art
In the middle of the Thames in Twickenham, and connected to the bank only by footbridge, is a place so tranquil, almost magical, that it seems inconceivable that you are in a London borough. A winding footpath leads between secluded houses, many rather ramshackle and rustic in appearance. Further along the bank, shipbuilders work, using methods no...more
See the boats on the Thames
I love looking at boats, so walked along where small boats were anchored, and across where larger one's were moored by the Island.The Hurlingham is the sister ship of the Marchioness one which which sank in an accident with the Bowbelle in 1989 when 53 people died.more

York House today serves as the Town Hall for Twickenham.Originally the central part of the house dates to the 1630s. It was built for Andrew Pitcarne who was a courtier of King Charles I.

75,000 Englishmen Singing
One of the most interesting things you can do in Twickenham is to go enjoy a game at the stadium. I was very impressed that 75,000 English Rugby fans could sound so good together singing "Swing Low".

Predictable Argo win at Oscars causes predictable Iranian outrage
- By Marya Hannun<p> Marya Hannun is a researcher at Foreign Policy. </p>
Last night, Argo, Ben Affleck's account of the Iranian hostage situation, surprised few when it claimed the Academy Award for best picture. Also unsurprising was the reaction of Iranian media.
The film, which looks at Hollywood's role in helping smuggle six hostages out of Iran amidst the fraught 1979 revolution, has garnered intense criticism from the country for its negative portrayal of Iranians. The Iranian government even organized a conference to discuss the ideology behind films like Argo, and their use in promoting an anti-Iranian, Islamophobic agenda. And when Michelle Obama presented the Oscar via live feed from the White House, this seemed to confirm the worst fears for many in the Iranian media.
In addition to using photo-shop to cover the first lady's shoulders, the Revolutionary Guard affiliated, Fars news agency, wrote of her appearance:
In a rare occasion in Oscar history, the First Lady announced the winner for Best Picture for the anti-Iran Film 'Argo,' which is produced by the Zionist company Warner Bros.
Mehr News dubbed the award the "most political Oscar" saying, "the anti-Iranian movie 'Argo', the 85th Academy Awards ceremony, unveiled the bare politicization in Hollywood."
Meanwhile Iran's state TV called the whole thing an "advertisement for the CIA."
In his acceptance speech, Affleck included a couple of shout outs to the frustrated nation:
I want to thank our friends in Iran living in terrible circumstances right now. I want to thank my wife who I don't usually associate with Iran.
Not the most diplomatic of speeches, this prompted Mehr to further lament: "Ben Affleck continues to show a bleak picture of Iran: Iranians live in terrible circumstances."
The state-owned, Press TV, went in a different direction. In a snub worthy of the Academy, they chose not to acknowledge the film at all in their coverage of the evening, making it seem, for those who wouldn't know better, that Life of Pi and Amour were the big winners of the night.

Citizens of Los Angles can walk the streets in peace, knowing that a 6'4″ Dutch kickboxer is keeping an eye out for you. UFC heavyweight fighter Antoni Hardonk foils two robberies in the mean streets of LA.
The Dutch heavyweight told Yahoo! Sports how the thrio approached him looking for spare change to buy cigarettes with. He checked his pockets but did not have any, at which point one of the men produced a knife and demanded his wallet.
Hardonk, 6'4", competes in the UFC heavyweight division and refused to give up his wallet without a fight. The three declined and left.
Having thwarted the trio once, he was being driven home from the scene by a friend when he spotted them engaged in another attempted robbery.
Jumping from the car, he ran over the crime and progress and knocked two of the man flying. The third made a run for it with the victim's wallet, but was forced to abandon it as Hardonk gave chase.
All three men managed to get away and, according to Yahoo! Sports, Los Angeles police told Hardonk "that there were three similar incidents on the same block in the same week".
No arrests have been made. [Yahoo Sports]

Lei shot to fame after blogger and journalist Zhu Ruifeng released the sex video late last year, along with lurid details of a blackmail scheme which saw a property developer amassing videos of several officials having sex.
Zhu released the video in the wake of high-profile statements by Chinese President Xi Jinping declaring a crackdown on corruption, which he said threatened the future of the ruling Communist party.
But he was later detained by police, who have also arrested other activists calling for government officials to disclose their financial assets, with one said to have been charged with "inciting state-subversion."
Corruption among a number of low-level government officials has been exposed in the wake of Xi's call to end graft, but analysts say the president will be reluctant to expose misdeeds among high-level officials, who are the key source of his support in China's ruling Communist party.
Chongqing was rocked last year after its police chief fled to a US consulate, setting in motion a scandal which saw the city's top Communist Party official Bo Xilai arrested and his wife convicted of murder.
No date has been announced for the trial of Bo, who is expected to receive a heavy sentence on bribery and other charges, reflecting the Chinese leadership's caution in charging former high-ranked officials.

Hi Megan,
I was given a Royer-Savoy 35mm camera for my twenty-first birthday and used it for the next thirty years as I traveled, married, and our three children were born. A lot of my shots were taken at sea, sunsets, albatrosses and other sea birds, some of a much younger me in some of the lesser known ports of the world, the remainder our children growing up, their sporting triumphs (or otherwise). Our son's wedding tempted me to replace it with a Minolta 35mm reflex and that became our companion for the next fifteen years, particularly when we went to Aspen to join our younger daughter (she was a ski instructor there) and on our trip through Santa Fe, the Grand Canyon, San Diego and up the West Coast to Vancouver, then across the Rockies to Edmonton on the Rocky Mountaineer train before returning to Australia. In the process, I've accumulated uncounted slides and photos which sit unloved in boxes, waiting to be sorted.
In 2006, a trip to Europe triggered the purchase of a digital camera and over 1300 shots (after sorting out the failures) which we've organized and sorted in the computer, using software to remove some of our failings.
One day, I'll sort the photos and slides and scan those of significance, but I'm not holding my breath.

Oil prices to hit $120 barrel by September.
Share this:
"Oil prices to hit $120 barrel by September."
Peter Barker-Homek, CEO of Abu Dhabi National Energy Co., predicts that crude oil prices may hit $120 a barrel within the next six months due to the "softness of the dollar and the occasional interruptions that you have because of politics." Last October, Barker-Homek also predicted that oil prices would "rise to $100 from $80 before the end of the first quarter."

Originally written on Blue Seat Blogs | Last updated 11/8/14
The second period was the period where the Rangers finally broke through on Dan Ellis, scoring two goals in 30 seconds –one on the powerplay– and adding another powerplay goal 10 minutes later. Those three goals were more than enough for the Rangers, as Henrik Lundqvist was spectacular, especially in the closing minute of the second period. Hank eventually got beat in the third, but he was absolutely stellar in this game, making 48 saves in the process. He stole this for the Rangers, and this is the perfect time for him to begin doing so. On to the goals: Rangers 1, Canes 0 3 of 4 guys chasing Richards. With the Rangers on the powerplay, Ryane Clowe made a good play to stay onside after Brad Richards' pass was a bit behind him on the rush. Once in the zone, Clowe worked the puck deep to the corner to Richards. Richards drew Jamie McBain, Patrick Dwyer, and Jay Harrison to him. When one guy can draw three penalty killers, it means there's only one guys left, meaning someone is open...

Geforce4 T1 4200 + mandrake 8.1 fault
1 Attachment(s)
I recently intalled a Verto Geforce4 T1 4200 card on a mandrake 8.1, kernel 2.4.8-26. I have downloaded the tar.gz kernel and
glx files, made and installed (no problems). However I keep getting x server re-spawns. I have tried to use the standard vga drivers, same problem. i have edited the Xfree86-4 config file
to load glx and use nvidia as the driver.
I used the NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123 and NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123 source files.
My log files show the NVdriver is loaded.
I have attached my Xfree86 log file
Ps I used to use a riva TNT2 34M card, my new card works on win98
From your log file:
9 times out of 10, the "failed to initialize" message is because the kernel module isn't loaded, and in that one case where that isn't the problem, the problem 90% of the time is that the card can't get an IRQ because "Assign IRQ to VGA" is turned off in your BIOS. If that's the problem, you will see a message to that effect in one of those logs (dmesg is the direct kernel log; /var/log/messages is generally the concatenated kernel logs of every time the system has been up).
re-Geforce4 T! 4200 mandrake fault
Hi, in your reply you said the fault 90% was the kernel module not loaded, I assume if NVdriver is listed using lsmod then that
is the kernel module?
I will re-check dmesg, however my bios does not have the choice to assign the irq to vga
Yeah, lsmod is a nicely-formatted version of the /proc/modules file. So if it's in lsmod, it'll be in /proc/modules as well, and it'll be loaded.
re-geforce4 t1 4200 + MD 8.1 fault
Hi Bwkaz, thanks for replying, I have just run the nv_check.sh
script which did find that my/dev/nvidia1 --3 did not exist, I have
created them and now nv_check.sh reports my system should be ok, however I am still getting the same fault. I have checked the
dmesg for any references to IRQ and nvidia or the geforce card
but nothing is reported.
I am going to check the /etc/modules.conf, I seem to remember
something about the alias has to be changed
re geforce4 + MD8.1 fault
I have re-checked using a modified nv_check.sh and it reports
no faults. NVdriver is listed in lsmod, the alias in /etc/module.conf
appears to be correct as I am running devfs,i.e
/dev/nvidia* NVdriver
I am still getting the same Xserver output, i.e kernel module failed to intialise
Absolutely stumped
So was there anything in the logs? Attach the output of dmesg, after you've run startx.
re-geforce4 t1 4200 + MD 8.1 fault
1 Attachment(s)
Hi Bwkaz, I have attached the output of dmesg, XFree86.0.log and a copy of my Xfree86-4 config file as a zip file
Well, I don't see anything -- how about /var/log/messages? Do a tail -f 350 /var/log/messages >log.txt or something -- I'll hopefully only need the last 350 lines. The full file is going to be too much.
Other than that, I'm not sure -- do you have a "PnP OS" setting in your BIOS? Is it set to yes? If so, it should be set to no.
re-geforce4 t1 42000+MD8.1 fault
Hi, yes i set the PNP os to no, I will post the last 300 lines of messages tomorrow, thanks for helping
re-geforce4 t1 4200+MD 8.1 fault
1 Attachment(s)
Hi I have attached the results of a tail -n 350 on /var/log/messages
I must have missed this the first time around:
Install 3123 or 4191 again, but delete /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/video/NVdriver first, so that you're sure it installs.

Recent Leeds Reviews
Everything we were looking for!
Spent 4 days at the Blue Heron this summer and were not disappointed! We were coming from Montreal, so I was a little nervous about the 5+ hour drive with 4 adults and a 3 year old. Once we got there all our tension just disappeared. We were not disappointed with the cabin - it was just as described and perfect for us. Allison was so generous, leaving us a toddler bed, stroller, booster seat and a big box of Lego. Not having to schlep that stuff with us was a big help! The cabin is rustic, but clean and fully equipped. The beach was sandy and shallow - good for little swimmers. Kayaks were fun to get away for a bit and explore the surroundings. Plenty of relaxing areas, but still not so isolated that you can't meet someone new at the campfire. We shared our s'mores with two nice families from New Jersey. The one day it rained we drove 1 hour and spent the day Portland at the Children's Museum and then headed for lobster at Demillo's. Then we stopped at Freeport outlets on our way back. Everybody had fun despite the torrential rain! Grocery stores are not far, so we didn't have to worry about what was permissible at the border. And wifi helped to locate them. I've already told everyone I know with young kids about this place!
Peaceful and quiet getaway
We stayed here over Labor Day weekend with our dog, and really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was rustic, but well-equipped and clean - exactly as advertised. The owners were very friendly, responsive, and accommodating as well. There was a kayak and canoe available for our use, and a small dock perfect for fishing and swimming (the lake is beautiful!). The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet, and we enjoyed spending our evenings by the outdoor fire pit. We would highly recommend this cottage.
Lovely family retreat!
This was the perfect house for our summer stay with our two young children! The house is quite spacious and the rooms and decor are simply lovely. The house was well stocked with movies and games and there were many comfy nooks to sit and read and have quiet time. The surrounding land is well manicured and well tended to and my kids enjoyed the endless fun of trying to climb the rope on the tree and sitting in the hammock. We took advantage of swimming at the "lake beach" down the road as well as the canoes that were provided at the dock. Most of our meals were prepared on the grill and we enjoyed dining al fresco on the deck, something we cannot do at home. We would go back in a minute! It was one of our best family vacations ever.

SINGAPORE: Big help from ST's new little paper
The Straits Times launches their new primary school magazine, Little Red Dot, with full explanations of how it can be used in the classroom
The Straits Times
Monday, April 18, 2005
The Straits Times' newest - and youngest - addition is a weekly supplement designed to help tweenies use the daily broadsheet in the classroom.
Little Red Dot, a 16-page publication, is slated to launch in July, and aims chiefly to develop news interest and understanding among upper-primary readers.
All primary school teachers and educators are invited to attend its soft launch this Saturday, from 10am to 11.30am, at the auditorium of the Singapore Press Holdings operating centre in Genting Lane.
The launch programme includes a showcase of how The Straits Times can be used as a teaching tool in the classroom and, of course, a glimpse at the new publication.
Greenridge Primary School will be making a presentation on how the school uses ST for its classes, and teachers will get to meet the creators of Little Red Dot, such as its supervising editor, Ms Bertha Henson.
Little Red Dot pages come with valued-added lesson plans that use news reports and analyses from the ST to teach a range of topics - from the English language to National Education - in classrooms.
Stories in its pages are based on existing formats used within its broadsheet parent. These include a big weekly feature on students' interests and concerns, quizzes, lifestyle trends, local and world news, history, as well as items on science and nature.
What's unique in Little Red Dot is a 'Class Action' box, which appears on each page to help primary school teachers enrich their lessons using the ST.
These include suggested interactive games, projects and group activities, to bring home the relevance of news to its young audience.
Already, educators and heads of department have reserved places to the launch at 82, Genting Lane.

Wander around
Favorite thing: As I am interested in history of towns and often run to visit all the historical buildings forgetting that not only the featured tourist attractions can be interesting.
This is how we ended up in one of the residential areas of Amersfoort. Walking from one site to another we had to pass through a neigborhood with a beautiful canal and bridges that lead to people's houses. It almost looked like a countryside. The only difference was the paved road by the canal that reminded us that Amersfoort is not a little place in the woods every time a car drove by.
This city is truly different and worth exploring every corner.
The perfect get-a-way from Amsterdam
Favorite thing: Only half an hour by train from Amsterdam and one is in Amersfoort. Every 15 minutes a train leaves to this great place that offers a whole different scenery then Amsterdam, still typically Dutch, but a lot less hectic and crazy then the capitol. Maybe even more Dutch, as you will not be overrun by tourists here.
Amersfoort atmosphere, a way to enjoy
Favorite thing: Amersfoort has just a whole own atmosphere that I cannot compare with any other town. The nearby Utrecht (just twenty kilometres to South-West is much larger and therefor busy and hectic. Amersfoort radiates - even on busy days - a calm and suiting atmosphere.
Fondest memory: The medieval dressed up people on the marketsquare, that were really into their roles.
USEFUL LINKS and Tourist Information
Favorite thing: TOURIST OFFICE:
The Amersfoort VVV (Local Tourist Office is located near the train station at:
Stationsplein 9-11
3818 LE Amersfoort
Telephone: 0900 - 112 2364
Start Page
City Council
Amersfoort Your Way
Daytrip info
Amersfoort archives
- Arts and Culture
- Trains
- Hiking and Walking
Public Toilets
Favorite thing: Amersfoort is a town with almost no public toilets (like most Dutch cities).
The best one is the toilet in the train station main hall. Fee 50 Eurocents and there's a cleaning lady present.
On the station platforms are also toilets, but these are unmanned and look like bank vault. It's very high tech, but very low in people freindlyness. Also 50 Euro cents.
In the city some of the parking garages have toilets and otherwise the V&D department store (La Place restaurant) is there.
After closing times of the shops, it's just bars and restaurants you can visit (not just for bathroom usage).
- Arts and Culture
- Seniors
- Family Travel
Rock Blocks - Keistad
Favorite thing: Amersfoort is known as "Keistad" (Keystone city). This dates back to a bet that was made to pull a heavy 7 ton rock from the moorland into town. Well in 1661 400 inhabitants did the job and celebrated the fact with beer and pretzels.
In 1672 the whole thing was treated as a foolish act and the rock was burried at the Varkensmarkt.
In 1903 the feeling was different and the rock was un-earthed.
From 1953 it's located at the Stadsring, corner Arnhemsestraat.
In the 1970's City Rock Events are organized yearly and pulling rocks from all over the world is one of the parts of the festivities. Many of these rocks can be seen in the greens of the Stadsring.
Fondest memory: Rocks.
- Historical Travel
- Arts and Culture
- Hiking and Walking
Stadswal - City wall
Favorite thing: The remains of the city wall along the stadsring are those of the third wall dating from the 14th century.
The first wall was an earth wall, later replaced by a stone wall.
Fondest memory: The special walking path around the city wall.
- Architecture
- Castles and Palaces
- Historical Travel
Where old meets new
Favorite thing: I know few places where modern architecture combines so tastefully with the historic heritage. True, not everything is equally great, not even in Amersfoort, but some examples are so well-designed that Amersfoort is worthy of laudation just for those. The proportions are well-chosen, as well as the materials that are used. I especialy like this one. Reminds of a medieval city-gate, doesn't it? I bet it never won a prize. Most modern architects will ridicule this sort of thing. Not pretentious enough, too modest in a time when high rise is the norm. Well, here was one architect who thought his work should fit in its environment rather than to dwarf it.
- Architecture
Useful phone numbers
Favorite thing: The most common European emergency number 112 (following Directive 2002/22/EC: Universal Service Directive) and also standard on GSM mobile phones. 112 is used in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Republic of Macedonia, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine and the United Kingdom in addition to their other emergency numbers.
Here are some useful phone numbers that you might need while in Netherlands:
Formerly 06-11
Police (non-urgent): 0900-8844
Few words in Dutch
Favorite thing: Below few words that you can use while traveling in Holland:
good morning = goedemorgen
good afternoon = goedemiddag
good evening = goedenavond
see you = tot ziens
see you soon = tot gauw
yes = ja
no = nee
maybe = misschien
are you sure? (of it) = ben je daar zeker van?
of course! = natuurlijk!
thank you (formal) = dank U wel
thank you (informal) = dank je wel
thanks (casual) = bedankt
please (polite) - also: here you are = alstublieft
Mr. and Sir = meneer (mijnheer)
Mrs. and Ma'am = mevrouw
Miss = juffrouw
have fun = veel plezier
happy dreams = welterusten
bless you = gezondheid!
have a nice meal = eet smakelijk!

bedroom = slaapkamer

pillow = kussen
blanket = deken
bath = bad
bathroom = badkamer
towel = handdoek
very good (food) = erg lekker
Amersfoort Jazz
Favorite thing: Amersfoort hosts the biggest free outdoor Jazzfestival in the Netherlands. Throughout the old city centre there are several stages where you can watch and listen to Dutch and international jazz artists. Even so it is still mostly a local event, which means crowds don't get too big. And as with all good jazz festivals the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. You can meet people of all ages.
Saterday night always closes with Dutch saxophone legend Hans Dulfer mixing his sax with dj Kikke's dancebeats. You can experience some of their sounds on youtube:
This year (2007) the festival took place in the second weekend in May, from friday evening till sunday afternoon.

- Family Travel
Favorite thing: The square now known as Varkensmarkt (Pigs market) used to be the St. Joostenplaats till 1552. In that year the pigs market was relocated from the Appelplaats to the Varkensmarkt.
Underneath the Varkensmarkt was the covered Hellegracht (Hell canal).
In 1984 the "Vrouw en de Zakkendrager" statue by sculpture Marius van Beek made of Sardinian granite was placed at the Varkensmarkt.
The text DIE TREKKEN DOOR HET WATER, DIE TREKKEN DOOR DE STEEN dates back to the early years of Amersfoort.

- Hiking and Walking
Grote of Sint Joris kerk
Favorite thing: Thanks to Olaf_s I now know this is the Great or Saint joris church.
Strangely enough I did not recognize it, have only seen it from the front after parking our car in it s neighbourhood.
One day I hope to really visit this church.

Friday night's late show at Station 4 in St. Paul was packed with an unusually large amount of single ladies and rock fans. But I'm not sure if they were there to see Pilla like me…
Pilla is a local foursome (except the South Dakotan drummer) who love rock and roll and everything that goes with it. From GNR to Van Halen to broken guitars and high kicks (yes, high kicks), these boys studied from the 80s school of rock and scored an A.
Pilla, the singer and namesake of the band, is the spitting image of a young Tommy Lee, wearing a sleeveless Coltrane shirt and not at all shy in berating the crowd for not crowding the stage, drinking enough or just damn "rocking out." Ronis, the group's guitarist, doesn't stray far from his GNR cover band (Dust N Bones) when soloing, but that's okay.
Not short on arrogance and ego, the group's songs are structurally good via 80's rock standards, the solos are rocking and the quartet makes up for typical rock chords and format with raw emotion and the performance of a true headbanging rock group minus the hair.
Pilla competes in the Battle of the Bands at PoVS in Andover on Jan. 26th and currently has a 5 song EP available that's available on via their Web site with just a simple e-mail. In the meantime, check out a few tracks at SoundClick here.

The Albany Bicycle Coalition started in my backyard in 2003 when a small group of mechanically inclined bike enthusiasts-volunteers gathered to learn bike repair skills and repair bikes that were headed to the dump. The rescued bikes were then donated to local organizations for kids.
Eventually we grew and moved into a community center basement, where the focus is on teaching kids skills while improving community relations.
Nowadays, volunteers spend their evenings reaching out to kids to build bikes, share skills, and create community.

This blend is as Xtreme as they come!
Gurkha is well-known for creating intense, over-the-top blends that are as varied and coveted as the come (HMR, anyone?). One thing that's equally intense is their packaging. A quick glance at this futuristic style black box may leave you wondering how to access the launch pad – it's just that cool. Xtreme features a Nicaraguan wrapper and is available in three scrumptious sizes. And since Gurkha is just as much about the experience as it is about the cigar itself, this little stunner will fit right into your collection quite nicely.
"A pretty good cigar, but not my favorite in the Gurkha lineup. Good enough for everyday smoke, but it doesn't say much."

Lily May Ledford to play banjo again in Dixon
DIXON, Ky. - Lily May Ledford, a member of the first all-female string band, will come back to life Sept. 19 in Dixon when Henderson resident Sandy Harmon depicts her as part of the Kentucky Humanities Council's Kentucky Chautauqua.
The event is being sponsored by the Webster County Historical and Genealogical Society. It will be at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 19 at the Dixon Community Center, where the doors will open at 6 p.m.
Ledford, who lived 1917 to 1985, according to the humanities council's website, grew up in the Red River Gorge of eastern Kentucky where she learned to play the fiddle and banjo at an early age.
In 1936, Ledford went to Chicago to perform on WLS Radio's National Barn Dance. The next year her manager, John Lair, assembled a string band featuring Ledford's distinctive banjo style. Called the Coon Creek Girls, it was the first all-female string band.
In 1939, the group began an 18-year run on the Renfro Valley Barn Dance radio show. That same year they played at the White House for President Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and their guests, King George VI of Great Britain and his wife, Lady Elizabeth, the Duchess of York.

Chief Minister Oommen Chandy has said that a decision will soon be taken on the long-pending proposal to have a permanent complex to host film festivals and other cultural events in the State capital.
He was inaugurating the week-long 17t International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) here on Friday.
Mr. Chandy said it was only a few procedural bottlenecks that had held up the proposal for so long. The land proposed for the project, which envisaged a permanent venue for festivals, including the IFFK, was earlier allotted to another project, and proper procedure had to be followed to reallot the land. A decision on the same would be taken without further delay, he said.
Lauding the IFFK for acquiring true international colours and standards over the years, Mr. Chandy said the participation of international delegates and screening of more foreign films that were appreciated well elsewhere were on the rise for the IFFK, and this would help it become an internationally renowned event. Cinema was an art that spoke of, and for, the common man, and the government would extend all possible help to promote the sector.
Delivering the presidential address, Minister for Cinema K.B. Ganesh Kumar said it was with pride that he stood before the gathering, having kept his word during the previous edition of the festival to construct four new cinemas in the State capital for this year's festival. All efforts were made to keep the costs of the event to a bare minimum, and ensure all possible facilities for the delegates.
State Chalachitra Academy chairman Priyadarshan, who introduced the festival, said the mistakes of the previous edition had been streamlined. He was also the first at the inaugural function to pitch for the permanent festival complex, followed by Mr. Ganesh Kumar, and actor Mohanlal.
Academy secretary K. Manoj Kumar thanked the audience.

Whatever your thoughts about the controversial Fred Phelps family and their Westboro Baptist Church — and for most Americans, those thoughts are negative — the group continues to find ways to grab headlines and public attention.
In the wake of the death June 20 of Ryan Dunn, a star of MTV's "Jackass" programs, in a traffic accident, Westboro promised to appear yesterday in Dunn's hometown, West Chester, Pa., at public memorial service.
Are you ready for some summer?
Like most folks, my bet is you're already pondering just exactly how hot it's going to get in August.
That's because we've had an extremely warm May and June — and July's just around the corner.
My guess is the days and weeks to come won't exactly be lazy. Especially this weekend, because Independence Day is here.
I always enjoy the holiday … especially when it coincides with a long weekend.

July is a month of celebrations historically, patriotically and religiously — and for just plain summertime fun.
In spite of its hot, humid days and nights, July is a month filled with picnics, fireworks, swimming pools, sunshine, thunderstorms, watermelons and corn-on-the-cob.
And let's not forget serious remembrances of important religious and patriotic observances.
The Christian festival of Pentecost grew directly from the Jewish Feast of Weeks.
Miscellaneous photographs of students who attended Harriman City Schools have accumulated since the 1970s.

Donations will be accepted to help support scholarship funds administered by the Alumni Association.
Each year, funds are awarded to selected students at Harriman High School and Harriman Middle School.

After 52 years, many things in the Glenmont community may have changed as businesses have sprung up along busy Route 9W and the community has grown, but the annual Glenmont Fireman's Fair continues to be a community staple.
Starting on Thursday, July 17, the Selkirk Fire Company No. 2 is once again inviting the community to a weekend of entertainment, games, food and fun. The event is held at Selkirk Fire Company No. 2, which was founded in 1953 and is still housed in its original location at 301 Glenmont Road, off of Route 9W.
There were some changes this year, according to Assistant Fire Chief Doug VanApeldoorn, as this year's event is being held on a single weekend instead of two. The Glenmont Fireman's Fair will take place for three days on July 17, 18, and 19, from 6 until 11 p.m. each night.
The annual flea market, which will have full kitchen services provided by the ladies auxiliary and more than 100 vendors, will be held the following week on July 26.
Families can expect the same great community event as they do every year, promises VanApeldoorn.
It's a safe and fun event for the entire family. We're just giving back to the community, said VanApeldoorn. "This is our annual fundraiser, and it all goes to the community."
There will be a cook shed with everything from fried dough to buckets of steamed clams and clam chowder, as well as games with prizes for the kids. There will be an inflatable bounce house and face painting on site, and of course, ice cream and snow cones.
The Bethlehem Volunteer Ambulance Company will also be on hand to give people free blood pressure readings.
On Saturday, July 19, the MacBoston 18 Truck will be rolling onto the scene, too. The truck, which is membership-owned and was incorporated as the MacBoston Truck Boosters, Inc on April 4, 1997, provides a rolling memorial for firefighters who have died in the line of duty.""

Russians Remain Skeptical Of Climate Change
Despite record-setting, sweltering heat waves and hundreds of brutal forest fires last summer, Russians remain skeptical about man-made climate change, the AFP news agency reported on Saturday.
Although President Dmitry Medvedev has acknowledged that the planet is warming, Russians remain cynical and suspicious about the idea, and experts see no significant movement in the nation's position ahead of the latest U.N. climate conference in Cancun.
During the U.N.'s the last major climate conference in Copenhagen, Medvedev put forth a bold Climate Doctrine, and even named a climate adviser the following month. Indeed, Russia's own weather agency, Rosgidromet, published a substantive report in 2008, which said that daily average temperatures in Russia would rise by four to six degrees Celsius by 2050, and that the climate change during the past half century was likely man-made.
"The dependency of Russia's nature and economy on climatic factors… demand a serious scientific base to government policy on climate change," the report's authors concluded.
However, just two years later, after the hottest summer on record and forest fires that destroyed more than 2.5 million acres, Russia's state media are debating whether climate change is even real.
In August, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin publicly questioned whether the natural extinction of mammoths some 12,000 years ago means that current climate change is also independent of human influence. That sentiment underscores comments made by Putin in 2003, when he speculated that global warming by "two or three degrees" could actually be good for Russia as its citizens would no longer require fur coats.
"Most scientists in the world now share the view that climate change is human-caused, but in Russia science is very politicized," said Vladimir Chuprov, a climate expert for Greenpeace Russia, during an interview with the AFP news agency.
Although Medvedev has signified his concern about climate change, many in Russia's academic circles remain skeptical due to Putin's position, since Russian science relies upon government funding, Chuprov said.
"The position is: the world can change but we'll survive on our oil wells and potatoes for however long. Oil is always needed, and we have enough of it in our lifetime."
A recent press conference hosted by the RIA Novosti state news agency, entitled "Climate Change: myth or reality?", provided some indication of Russia's official attitude with respect to climate change.
"Climate is a concept that has existed as long as the Earth exists… several hundred million years ago the temperature was 10-13 degrees higher than now," said Yury Israel, director of the Institute of Global Climate and Environment at the Russian Academy of Sciences, one of Russia's leading climate-change skeptics.
"What is happening now is not some kind of unusual special case," he said, adding that life thrived on Earth during the time of the dinosaurs.
Russia's state media, often a reliable indicator of government policy direction, has also produced well-funded films on the subject of climate-change.
"The anti-cyclone came to Russia and stopped. Why?" said a narrator during a show broadcast in October on state Channel One.
"Professionals don't know, beyond science people offering shocking theories," the narrator said.
A series of apocalyptic images followed, including one of the Earth bursting into flames, followed by another showing chunks of Greenland breaking apart and flooding in major cities along the Eastern coast of the United States.
"Who Caused the Warming?" the narrator asks.
Russian television answered that question earlier this year during a 40-minute film entitled "Russia On Fire: Climate as a Weapon", which aired on the popular federal network TV5.
"The smoke was very strange. Sometimes it thickened, only to disappear the next day," said the feature's narrator.
The film went on, insinuating that Russia's summer heatwave and fires were caused by the U.S. Air Force's High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP).
Although skepticism and conspiracy theories abound in Russia, some experts say the brutal summer heat and wildfires might result in a gradual change in attitudes.
Shortly before last year's climate conference in Copenhagen, Channel One aired a film alleging that climate change was a concept concocted as part of a political conspiracy.
However, Russia's summer heatwave has altered public opinion away from that idea, said WWF climate expert Alexei Kokorin.
"Some acknowledgment has occurred, but very slowly," he told the AFP news agency.
"There is a realization that global warming is after all a bad thing."

Adventure can be found almost anywhere if you have the right frame of mind and are willing to look for it. Riding around huntsville is not quite as adventurous as say, 17 easy to moderate miles in N Georgia
but it's something I can do during the day and still make it to work at night. Of course trying to ride after a major snowstorm does add to the adventure
Unfortunately, after the initial fun of riding in the fresh snow on Monday, reality, along with very cold temperatures set in. All that fresh snow got packed down and became icy. On Thursday it at least got sunny so I went for a walk and took a few pics.
I was surprised to sea sea gulls so far inland but here they were.
The houses across the lake looked nice with a little white trim.
I wonder if boaters suffer from PBS (Parked Boat Syndrome) or is that BBC (Beached Boat Crying)
Did I mention it was cold? This guy really looks cold.
It was such I Sunny day that I really wanted to go for a ride but decided that there was still too much ice on the road. Friday's forecast was for Sunny and 38 degrees. Looks like I'll be able to do something about my PMS
I ride, Therefore I Am.

What Do I Admire Most.
- His leadership style, his humbleness, his vision and his persistence to hold on irregardless of the challenges he was facing. He has lived his purpose and his soul is in peace. He is truly a blessing to us all.
- —Guest Thabie Ndlovu
Freedom Fighter
- [Mandela gave us] Freedom for all Africans not only south Africans blacks but also whites, so I do admire his sense of responsibility. Mandela empowered his peopleand history will give to him the place he deserves. May [God] bless his soul and his days in this world. He is a lover of peace. May his legacy be taught around the world, and I mean by that [allow] the children to learn about peace and how to eradicate injustice. Thanks to Nelson Mandela for showing to the world how to fight for freedom and how to love.
- —Guest samba
An Amazing Hero
- Nelson Mandela was a great man. If he was not born, none of us would have a happy life.
- —Guest Likhwa Tsepang Maphosa
One of the Best in the History of Today
- We really should admire Nelson Mandela because he stopped the apartheid and he helped the South Africans.... Now let me do my paper on Nelson Mandela before i get in trouble.....
- —Guest Hayvon Brown
Together We Can Do More
- Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was the best president South Africa could ever had. It took a man like him to fight for what he believed was right, it's not everybody who can do that. We are free today because of his passion, love and understanding about his country. He played his part (of being the president of South Africa) in an excellent and appropriate manner. May all the other leaders to follow take note and do more than he did.
- —Guest millicent mogoane
He is Great Man
- He spent 27 years in prison and he did not lose force. he has help me to believe in real humanity and dignity. He is a great man.
- —Guest tobiloba
He is a Hero
- I admire Madiba for his determination, dream, and perseverance to change so that all have a good life. Not all of us could persevere in jail for 27 years for people you don't know, or die for South Africa. I know that I'm not so capable.
- —Guest precious mmatli
How African Presidents Should Behave
- Mandela was a true nationalist, true Statesman , who selflessly spent 27 years in prison fighting for the freedom of all Afrikaners and South Africans in general. After his release, he took power for only five years, then he handed power successfully to Thabo Mbeki. This is different for most African Rulers who forcefully remain in power through stealing elections, for instance, Kenya, and Ivory Coast. Mandela honorably went to retire, and that's why I salute for the road he took to liberate his country. Long Live Mandela.

He Is a Model
- In this era where we the Africans are entering the "PROMISE LAND" as a united states I will always for a one world quote Mandela in "we are not anti whites" then I add "but we are against white superiority in Africa." It is known that "when you go to Rome do what the Romans do and when you are in Africa do what the Africans do", the partnership here is win to win not paternalism or assimilation. I will rather prefer indirect rule. So Mandela is a world model, he advocates for a free and unified world.

A True Role Model
- A true role model for all to follow as far as never giving up on faith and hope no matter how bad the circumstances may look in the beginning, but it is the finish line that counts most of all for all of us who are only here for a short time on God's good earth and the purpose he has for each one of his creations.

Did Not Empower his People
- He is a hero to many people but it is more about blind loyalty. Ask that question to many Africans in his country they will only be able to tell you he is a great man and no reason is given to support the answer. To me he is just another man whose simplicity went too far for a head of state. He gave away too much during negotiations that brought about democracy in 1994 condemning the blacks to a life of squalor and poverty. How could he allow supremacist groups to continue to exist after 1994 namely the AWB. It should have had been banned like Mugabe did with the notorious Seleous' Scouts in 1980. What in real terms did Mandela's celebrated status bring to the man on the ground. Not anything worth mentioning really. The same things like racism which people were crying about are still the same issues being raised today. That is because he did not empower his people in any meaningful way as I see it. Meanwhile the western PR and media machine was busy creating a celebrity out of him.

One of Africa's greatest people
- Mandela spent 27 years in prison and yet never lost his humanity. He kept the ANC on the straight and narrow when they came to power (unlike his successors). He has shown the world that there is great dignity in being an African.
