After featuring in some hit films, Katrina Kaif is awaiting the release of some more big ticket films. The actress believes life has been good so far but says she is looking forward to the best phase in her career.
"I hope the best phase of my career is yet to come. As a person one faces different phases in life. You also face phases of unsettlement where you're not sure about anything. Right now my life is only about going to the film sets and coming back home," Katrina said here.
"Everything in my life has happened all unexpectedly. So far all has happened for the better. Whatever happens, it happens for the good only. God has taken care of everything so far. Everything will happen in its own time," added the 28-year-old.
The British-born actress once gave six back-to-back hits - "Namastey London", "Apne", "Partner", "Welcome", "Race" and "Singh Is Kinng". She went on to do films like "New York", "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" and proved critics wrong with her powerful performance in "Raajneeti".
Accolades continued to pour in thanks to "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara" and "Mere brother Ki Dulhan". Now, she is set to be seen with her former real life beau Salman Khan in "Ek Tha Tiger", releasing Aug 15.
The movie, directed by Kabir Khan, is a romantic, action thriller.
Katrina feels Salman can't handle the romantic hero avatar beyond a point.
"I think right now audience likes him in action and romantic genre and I think it works also for Salman. (But) beyond a point Salman can't handle romantic scenes," she said.
This is not the first time Katrina has shared screen space with Salman. They were paired together in films like "Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?", "Partner" and "Yuvraaj".
Katrina has known Salman very closely, and says he is the same in person as he is as an actor.
"Salman as a person and as an actor is exactly the same. In 'Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?', he was the same person - very spontaneous," she said.

In the second installment of their monthly column, blended learning experts Michael B. Horn and Heather Staker address the issue of blended learning costs.
While IT departments are increasingly doing a good job at greening their own backyards, they're still fairly siloed when it comes to involvement in larger sustainability initiatives.
Biometrics are creeping into nearly every market in our society. The technology is used in forensics, government and law enforcement, healthcare systems, the military, business enterprises, and now in education to authenticate transactions, control entry into various facilities, monitor time and attendance, secure access to laptops, PCs, and networks, and more.
It's necessary in this era of accountability for teachers to have a classroom site, and to post their pages among those of the school or district site. The name of the school or district and its logo should appear on all pages to provide evidence of an official connection and a unifying element among all teachers' sites at the school. Unfortunately, I don't always see this.
In the third installment of their monthly column, blended learning experts Michael B. Horn and Heather Staker address BYOD and other mobile device strategies for blended learning.
I began this three-part investigation on using biometrics in K-12 after reading The Truth about Biometric Devices in Schools. In part 1, I defined biometrics and indicated that they are creeping into nearly every market in our society, particularly since the tragedy of September 11. There are applications used in education to authenticate transactions; control entry into various facilities; monitor time and attendance; secure access to laptops, PCs, and networks; and more. I introduced you to the most commonly used biometrics in schools, which are fingerprints and handprints, provided resources for you to make your own investigation into the nature of those technologies and products available, and left you with concerns to think about. Now I'll delve more into those issues that have been raised by parents, students, and civil liberties groups. All of this is intended to help you better decide to ban its use or buy into biometrics. Stay with me, for in part 3 we'll look at vendor claims and a sound business plan of action that leads to a security solution you really need.
In the initial launch of Collaboration 2.0, Dave Nagel (2008) reported that during 2008 educators can look for "a continued trend toward more and more hosted, mashed-up, collaborative tools in education, from assessment platforms to collaborative learning tools (such as blogs and wikis) to online delivery of audio and video to full-blown productivity tools, such as Google Apps for Education and others" (p. 2). Everything on the Web sounds good.
More and more schools across the country are bringing digital media into the curriculum--from digital painting and graphic arts to digital print production to digital video editing. In particular, there seems to be a surge of activity in the digital video editing space, with schools offering courses designed as either electives to fulfill an art requirement or as prep for students looking to pursue careers in production and post-production.
It's difficult to have a conversation about using cell phones for learning without someone complaining that the phones will be a distraction. These complaints are presumably made by those who have never been in schools where cell phones are used as learning tools. Those who have know that not only do teachers find distraction is not an issue, they also find students are more engaged and excited about learning.
The Consortium for School Networking (CoSN; http://www.cosn.org) recently released a report titled Collaboration in K-12 Schools: Anywhere, Anytime, Any Way. I helped produce the report as a volunteer member of CoSN's Emerging Technology Committee, and will use it as the basis for my column.

Use any databank driver as a store for connect sessions
Use any database that databank supports as a connect session store
Copyright 2012, E14N Inc.

Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. See the License for the specific language governing permissions and limitations under the License.
The databank package lets you use several different kinds of databases - Mongo, Redis, CouchBase, memory, disk - with a uniform API -- basically CRUD + search.
This module will let you use any of those databases as a connect session backend.
I think it's particularly useful if you're distributing software and you don't want to make your users depend on some particular connect session backend.
Try something like this.
var connect = require("connect"),
Logger = require("bunyan"),
Databank = require("databank").Databank,
DatabankStore = require("connect-databank")(connect),
// Example params. See databank for details.
driver = "disk";
params = {dir: "/var/lib/databank/session"};
// Get a bank and connect...
db = Databank.get(driver, params);
db.connect({}, function(err) {
var store, app, log;
// Use bunyan for logging
log = new Logger({name: "myapp"});
store = new DatabankStore(db, log);
app = connect();
app.use(connect.session({secret: "my dog has fleas", store: store}));
The DatabankStore will store stuff into the
session type ("table")
in your databank, keyed by session ID.
It will log out to the logger; you can omit that parameter if you don't want session logs.

African Gold Group Inc.
African Gold Group Inc. is a Canadian-based, West African-focused gold exploration and development company. The company controls 12 concessions that are consolidated in 5 distinct standalone exploration projects along significant gold trends, the most advanced of which is its Kobada gold project. Located in Mali, Kobada has an NI-43-101-compliant resource of 740 Koz gold at 0.3 g/t, emanating from 10% of strike potential.
The information provided below is from analysts, newsletters and other contributors. Please contact the company and visit its website before making an investment decision.
Expert Analysis
The Gold Report Interview with Henk Krasenberg (7/2/12) "Companies should turn the negative into a positive and use the artisanal miners as an extension of their own exploration forces. In Ghana, African Gold Group Inc. reached an agreement with the artisanal miners. While making it clear that the property belongs to the company, the agreement gave the artisanal miners a part of the property where the company would not explore for the time being. It said, go ahead; everything you find is yours with one obligationŚtell us what you find. We will not take it, but we want to know. That is how to handle artisanal miners." More >
Thom Calandra, Baby Bulls (6/15/12) "Personally, I am holding shares of almost everything I own in Africa, including African Gold Group Inc. . .the company's shares are under severe pressure. . .I have not seen its northern Ghana gold property that is the subject of a legal dispute, one that almost surely will be settled in coming weeks if I read the tea leaves correctlyŚthat property is called Mankranho and is in the Ahafo district. . .Kobada is clearly the flagship with 1 Moz gold already in a resource and maybe another 1 Moz, much of it oxidized and near surface, on the way in the form of a preliminary economic assessment later this year."
Hendrik Visagie, Pope & Company (3/22/12) "We believe African Gold Group Inc. is an attractive gold play with positive economics indicated by the preliminary economic assessment for a 100 Koz gold producer, with potential for higher production if oxide exploration upside is realized. At roughly $40/oz gold for the Inferred resource, with potential for more, the company has significant upside; based on observations from our recent site visit, our modeling estimates the potential to define an additional 2.5¢3 Moz gold."
Morning Coffee (3/21/12) "African Gold Group Inc. announced the analytical results for eight, near-surface (oxide), reverse circulation, stepout drill holes from the company's Kobada gold project. . .highlight intersections included: hole KBRC12-006 intersected 70m of 1.83 g/t gold and 45m of 1.79 g/t silver, ending in mineralization; hole KBRC12-003 intersected 27m of 0.47 g/t gold and 84m of 1.26 g/t silver, ending in mineralization and hole KBRC12-004 intersected 21m of 1.07 g/t and 9m and 1.8 gold."
The Gold Report Interview with Mark Lackey (3/19/12) "African Gold Group Inc. in Mali has the Kobada mineral resource of 1.1 Moz. We like it because drilling has extended the mineralization in the area over about 4 kilometers. One of its top management people was the chief geologist for IAMGOLD Corp., which has had a great run and done extremely well in West Africa. . .African Gold Group also has a holding in Ghana. We think it has significant potential, given the estimated mineral resource." More >

Rep. David Wu: Another Congressman Resigns in a Sex Scandal
Originally posted 07/26/2011 04:05PM
Just weeks after Anthony Weiner resigned from Congress following a sex scandal, Oregon Rep. David Wu is stepping down amid allegations involving a teenager.
A distraught 18-year-old woman called Wu's Portland, Ore., office, accusing the politician of aggressive and unwanted sexual behavior. The woman is the daughter of a longtime friend of Wu, according to The Oregonian.
"This is very serious, and I have absolutely no desire to bring unwanted publicity, attention, or stress to a young woman and her family," Wu, 56, says in a statement to the newspaper.
Anthony Weiner Resigns as Hecklers Disrupt Press Conference
Originally posted 06/16/2011 02:40PM
Congressman Anthony Weiner has resigned following the scandal in which he admitted to sending messages with sexual content to a number of women.
"I'd hoped to be able to continue the work that the citizens of my district elected me to do – to fight for the middle class and those struggling to make it," Weiner told reporters at a press conference on Thursday Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, where his political career first took off when he was elected to the City Council in 1992. "Unfortunately, the distraction that I have created has made that impossible, so today I am announcing my resignation from Congress."
During the announcement, Weiner spoke for a little more than four minutes, continuing on despite a disruption from the crowd.
At one point a heckler shouted, "Bye bye, pervert."

In the wake of lewd photo scandal – and pressure from House Democratic leaders to resign – Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York is seeking treatment that will take him away from his duties on Capitol Hill.
"Congressman Weiner departed this morning to seek professional treatment to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person," spokeswoman Risa Heller said in a statement. "In light of that, he will request a short leave of absence from the House of Representatives so that he can get evaluated and map out a course of treatment to make himself well."
The statement continued: "Congressman Weiner takes the views of his colleagues very seriously and has determined that he needs this time to get healthy and make the best decision possible for himself, his family and his constituents."

Anthony Weiner Exposed as 1996 Cosmo Bachelor
Originally posted 06/07/2011 02:10PM
Long before there surfaced lewd photos of Anthony Weiner, sans pants, the New York congressman made his pictorial debut in the pages of Cosmopolitan magazine – fully clothed.
In 1996, the women's magazine selected the politician, who was, at the time, a 31-year-old city councilman, as one of its 101 real-life bachelors.

Rep. Anthony Weiner Admits He Lied About Lewd Twitter Photo
Originally posted 06/06/2011 05:15PM
New York congressman Anthony Weiner has come forward about the "terrible mistakes" he made recently.
On Friday, when a photo of a man's bulging crotch in boxer briefs appeared in Weiner's Twitter stream, the lewd photo was quickly removed and the politico claimed his page was hacked.
But fast forward to Monday and Weiner, 46, admits he was the only person using his account. The photo, which he says he "regrets," was in fact meant to send as a direct message, but accidentally posted in his main feed.
Did Rep. Anthony Weiner Tweet a Lewd Photo to a Woman?
Originally posted 05/31/2011 03:50PM
A New York congressman says a lewd photo sent to a college student from his Twitter account was posted by a hacker – and he's hired a lawyer to investigate, his office said Tuesday.
The kerfuffle, which some tabloid press is calling "Weinergate," kicked off Friday when a photo of a man's bulging crotch in boxer briefs appeared in Rep. Anthony Weiner's Twitter stream.
The Tweet was addressed to college student Gennette Cordova, 21, of Seattle – but the image was visible to all of Weiner's 40,000 followers.

Preview 2007 - Offense
BYU Preview |
BYU Defense Preview
BYU Depth Chart
2006 CFN BYU Preview
What you need to know:
While the offense won't crank out the big numbers last
year's attack did (finishing fourth in the
nation in total offense and fifth in scoring),
it'll be fantastic starting with a great line
that has more talent and depth (though unproven)
than the program has seen in a long time. The
receivers have to step up with the top targets
of last year gone, and new starting quarterback
Max Hall has to be efficient from day one. The
1-2 rushing punch of Manase Tonga and Fui
Vakapuna will carry things when it needs to with
an interesting blend of speed and power.
Passing: None
Rushing: Fui Vakapuna
92 carries, 445 yds, 8 TD
Receiving: Matt Allen
27 catches, 420 yds, 3 TD
Star of the offense: Sophomore QB Max Hall
Player that has to step up and become a star: Hall
Unsung star on the rise: Junior OT David Oswald
Best pro prospect: Junior RB Fui Vakapuna
Top three all-star candidates: 1) C Sete Aulai, 2) Hall,
3) Vakapuna
Strength of the offense: Offensive line, running back
Weakness of the offense:
Quarterback experience, number one receiver
Projected Starter:
Sophomore Max Hall ended up winning the starting job by
default when Cade Cooper suffered a season-ending foot
injury, but Hall was playing well enough in spring ball to have
earned the gig on his own. The Arizona State transfer isn't all
that big at 6-1 and 200 pounds, but he has a live, accurate arm.
He's not going to be John Beck throwing the ball, but the nephew
of former NFL star Danny White has the mobility will allow the
coaching staff to do a few different things.
Projected Top Reserves: The surprise of spring
ball was a pleasant one. 6-5, 220-pound JUCO transfer Brendan
Gaskins went lights-out in the spring game completing 19 of
22 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown to firmly establish
himself as the number two, with a puncher's chance of winning
the starting job this fall. He originally wanted to go to BYU in
2002, but chose Nevada after now-UCLA starter Ben Olson had
committed to the Cougars. Cooper, a 6-3, 205-pound bomber, will
likely be back in the mix next year once he gets healthy. The
NJCAA Offensive Player of the Year out of Snow JC as wanted by
several big boys before coming to BYU.
Watch Out For ... Hall to keep the offensive
production rolling. No, BYU's offense won't do what it did last
year, but Hall is good enough make the passing game shine. And
Strength: ... if Hall isn't up to the task, Gaskins is
more than ready to step in. They're two different passers who
can each put up huge numbers. BYU has reestablished itself as a
quarterback factory.
Weakness: Experience. Yeah, Hall and Gaskins are tremendous
prospects, but they have to actually show they can get it done
at the D-I level. The ceiling is high for both players, but it's
asking a lot for them to not make a slew of rookie mistakes.
Outlook: All Beck did was complete 69% of his
passes for close to 4,000 yards and 32 touchdowns with eight
interceptions. The coaching staff won't be expecting that out of
Hall or Gaskins, but as long as the interceptions are kept to a
minimum and the accuracy is there, the offense won't skip that
big of a beat.
Rating: 7.5
Running Backs
Projected Starters:
It'll be up to junior Manase Tonga to replace BYU's
all-time leading rusher, Curtis Brown, and while he doesn't have
the same sort of speed, he's quick, consistent, can catch, and
is big. At 234 pounds, he provided a nice pop rushing for 197
yards and four touchdowns while catching 23 passes for 230 yards
and two scores. He's a banger who can be used as a workhorse.
Helping out will be junior Fui Vakapuna, who's achieved
cult hero status among the Cougar faithful for his tough style.
A fascinating talent with 4.4 speed in the body of a 234-pound
fullback, he led the way with eight rushing touchdowns while
catching three short scoring passes. More than just a
short-yardage runner, he can line up at tailback if needed.
Projected Top Reserves: While Tonga and Vakapuna
will combine to carry the load, senior Joe Semanoff will
see time as the backup tailback. A 220-pound speedster, he's had
a hard time cranking the offensive lineup so far and had just 29
yards last year.
Backing up Vakapuna will be redshirt freshman
Harvey Unga, a 6-0, 221-pound runner who missed last year
hurt. He's more of a tailback than a blocking fullback, and
he'll have to prove early on that he can be a consistent
producer to end up as the third option.
Watch Out For ... Tonga to be terrific. Brown was
so good, and Vakapuna so effective, that Tonga didn't get as
much work as he probably should've. Now he'll get around 150
carries and should come up with a great year.
Strength: Size. When the smallest of the top four
options goes 220 pounds, there's some good size in the
backfield. Just because the Cougar backs are big, that doesn't
mean they can't move.
Weakness: Backup experience. Semanoff and Unga haven't seen any
meaningful time, and Ray Hudson transferred to Stephen F.
Austin, so Tonga and Vakapuna will likely be the running game
for a while. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
Outlook: Replacing Brown's 1,010 rushing yards and
seven touchdowns, and the team-leading 62 catches, will require
a combination effort. Tonga and Vakapuna will each tear off
their share of big runs while providing good power. Each of them
can catch, but the one who does it on a more consistent basis
will likely get more work.
Rating: 7
Projected Starters:
While the Cougars lost their top three pass catchers from last
year, they get back a key target in sophomore Austin Collie,
who's been out of the mix for the last two years on a church
mission. He's 6-2 and 212 pounds with excellent hands, but he
has to show he can regain the form from his freshman season when
he caught 53 passes for 771 yards and eight touchdowns. If he
doesn't win the starting spot a the Z, he'll be the first
reserve in the mix.
Likely to start at the outside X position
will be 6-1, 202-pound junior Michael Reed after catching
25 passes for 339 yards and three scores as a ten-game starters.
While he's not a blazer, he can get deep enough to make several
big plays.
The smallish Bryce Mahuika will be used as an
inside possession receiver at the H. He's only 5-9 and 185
pounds, but he can move averaging 15.2 yards per catch on his
five grabs last season.
The biggest issue will be replacing All-American Jonny
Harline and his 58 catches for 935 yards and ten touchdowns.
It'll take several players to get the job done with 6-5,
230-pound sophomore, Dennis Pitta, likely to get the
starting nod. Coming off a mission, he needs to regain his 2004
form when he caught 17 passes for 176 yards and two touchdowns.
He has great hands and solid route running ability.
Projected Top Reserves: Senior Matt Allen
could end up starting at either the Z or the X after making 27
catches for 420 yards and three scores. While he's not a number
one target, he's a good complementary receiver and a strong
route runner.
Sophomore Daniel Tervort, a quick player
who'll see time on special teams, will combine with junior
Reed White, who has yet to see the field.
at tight end with Pitta will be sophomores Vic So'oto and
Andrew George, who will each be a part of the passing
game and part of two tight end sets. The 6-5, 240-pound George
was mostly a special teamer last season, while the 6-3,
233-pound So'oto was hurt early on and ended up redshirting.
So'oto, a big-time recruit who was recruited by USC, Cal,
Michigan, Oklahoma and Florida State, among many others, has the
potential to be special once he returns from a one-game
suspension after being arrested in a strange incident when he
and linebacker Terrance Hooks kicked in the door of a couple of
students throwing water baloons.
Watch Out For ... the receivers to play more of a
role. John Beck liked to spread the ball around last year, but
there wasn't any one standout receiver. Now look for the
wideouts to make the most big plays.
Strength: Veterans. It's rare for a team to lose as much
production as BYU did and still have several good players to
work with. The return of Collie is a major boost, while Reed and
Allen can each be a number one target on any given day. However
Weakness: ... is there a number one receiver? Collie could be
one if he plays like he did a few years ago, but there's almost
certain to be a little rust to shake off. With a new quarterback
under center, it would be nice if one player stood out.
Outlook: Last year's leading receiver was Curtis
Brown, a running back and Harline was second as the two combined
for 120 of the team's 311 catches. It also doesn't help that
McKay Jacobson, Zac Collie and Nate Meikle, three of the team's
top receivers, are also gone. There might not be a gamebreaker,
but there are a slew of good, solid targets who'll all make
around 20-30 grabs.
Rating: 6.5
Offensive Linemen
Projected Starters:
The big question will be how well the new starting tackles can
do in place of Jake Kuresa and Eddie Keele. Junior
David Oswald is an interesting player to start with
checking in at 6-8 and 325 pounds. With three starts last season
at right tackle, and with good results, he should be able to
take over in a full-time role and be strong in pass protection.
On the left side will likely be 6-5, 300-pound sophomore R.J.
Willing, who's back after spending two years on a mission.
He started in nine games in 2004 and showed off a little bit of
the talent that made him a top prospect back in 2003. He could
play center if needed.
The inside of the line is rock-solid led by senior center
Sete Aulai, who earned second-team Mountain West honors.
He's a technician in the passing game and turned into a pounding
run blocker as the star the line revolved around.
Junior guard
Ray Feinga will return on the left side after a decent
season. He's 6-5 and 322 pounds, but he hasn't quite lived up to
his big billing as a superstar recruit for the program in 2004.
That doesn't mean he's been bad; he simply hasn't be a star yet.
6-5, 314-pound junior, Travis Bright, returns on the
right side after a good first year as the starter. Athletic
enough to play tackle if needed, he's growing into a reliable
Projected Top Reserves: Somewhere in the mix will
eventually be Dallas Reynolds, a 6-5, 328 junior
who's been a star at tackle after moving over from guard. He's
out with a shoulder injury, but he'll take over the left tackle
job when he returns.
While not nearly as big as
the 300-pound Willing, the 6-3, 273 pound Garrett Reden
is a good talent who'll push for the left tackle job.
The redshirt freshman is extremely quick and will be strong in pass
protection. Playing behind Feinga at left guard is 6-3,
320-pound redshirt freshman Walter Kahaiali'i, who's
growing into a good enough all-around blocker to be a big part
of the rotation even though he doesn't have any experience.
Watch Out For ... the line to be terrific by the
end of the year. Once the new tackles get comfortable, the
starting five will be among the Mountain West's best, especially
if and when Dallas Reynolds comes back from a shoulder injury.
Strength: The interior. The guards are good, while Aulai
is special at center. They'll for a good nucleus that'll give
the quarterbacks plenty of time to operate, while allowing the
ground game to work inside or out.
Weakness: There no experience among the reserves. There's a ton
of talent and plenty of great prospects to get excited about,
but the main backups for each spot will all be freshmen.
Outlook: New line coach Mark Weber proved right
away he'll be a fine replacement for Jeff Grimes, who left for
Colorado, and he has a good front five to work with. The coaches
rave about this group. While the line might not allow just 17
sacks like last year, it'll be a major strength as long as
Oswald plays up to his potential and the backups are as good as
advertised. Aulai is a lock for all-star honors, and everything
will revolve around him to give the skill players plenty of time
to operate.

A revealing inside look at one of the world's most powerful and mysterious institutions
For more than 25 years John Thavis held one of the most fascinating journalistic jobs in the world: reporting on the inner workings of the Vatican. His daily exposure to the power, politics, and personalities in the seat of Roman Catholicism gave him a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective on an institution that is far less monolithic and unified than it first appears. Thavis reveals Vatican City as a place where Curia cardinals fight private wars, scandals threaten to undermine papal authority, and reverence for the past is continually upended by the practical considerations of modern life.
Thavis takes listeners from a bell tower high above St. Peter's to the depths of the basilica and the saint's burial place, from the politicking surrounding the election of a new pope and the ever-growing sexual abuse scandals around the world to controversies about the Vatican's stand on contraception and more.
Perceptive, sharply written, and witty, The Vatican Diaries will appeal not only to Catholics - lapsed as well as devout - but to anyone interested in international diplomacy and the role of religion in an increasingly secularized world.
©2013 John Thavis (P)2013 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"A seasoned reporter on the Vatican beat takes us for an irreverent and revealing visit. Frequently from the vantage of the reportorial fly on the wall, Thavis…concentrates on the history he has witnessed firsthand.… Especially provocative are the chapters dealing with the mismanagement of diverse sex scandals and, finally, an appraisal of the opaque personality of Benedict.… Not only provocative, this report is illuminating and fully accessible to members of the faith and doubters alike." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Thavis' anecdotal presentation will appeal to readers seeking understanding of or connection with the Catholic Church's heart. This book is recommended for anyone who would like to challenge their own notions and perceptions of the Vatican." (Library Journal)
"great insight"
I just got this book on a whim and didn't expect much but wow. thus author will teach you a lot of insider things you otherwise wouldn't know. a must have
"Some Truth behind the spin."
It's a very fine book, but not one of my favorites.
Several. Some funny moments with the press getting stranded or something else happening to them on state visits, and the testimonies in chapter 3 against the LC's founder creeped me out.
He's okay with accents, but not that great.
The contrast between Pope John Paul the Second's and Benidict the 16th in personality.
No other comments.
"Fascinating and riveting."
Fascintaing. Riveting. Illuminating.
Learning about the inner workings and politics of the Vatican kept me tuned in to this book. I didn't want to unplug!
"Eye opening! Catholicism brought to Earth."
I wish we had been taught the truth in porocial school so that when we started in public school we could have had better information to defend our beliefs. Time for God to do some house cleaning.
Yes and did several times!
Just proves that on Earth ALL are human. You have to get to the debth of the church to find the good and the way Jesus meant His word to be told and used.
"Who among you can cast the first stone??"
This audio book is like listening to National Enquirer level journalism, filled with opinions, presumption, and gossip. I expected to hear some credible new 'vatileaks' info presented in a rational manner, but instead received old information combined with gossip and secular opinions. If you listen to this book, you'd constantly notice how journalist John Thavin stretches bits of information, leaves out pertinent facts, and attempts to misrepresent the Church.
For example, Thavin portrays the Catholic Church as a system of injustice and sexual crimes by using the sins of a handful of bad priests, gossip, and various opinions to lead the reader into thinking that the majority of priests must be gay or sexual predators. But in his book, he downplays the 2008 US government report that only 0.03% of priests were involved in pedophilia cases, he downplays the fact that gay priests can no longer be ordained, he does not mention the German criminologist report that 99.9% of sexual abuse crimes come from outside the Catholic Church, and he does not mention the Protestant Christian Science Monitor report that protestant denominations are affected by a much higher rate of pedophilia cases than those in the Catholic Church.
Anyway, the Catholic Church is looking really good as we make the necessary changes to prevent those individual incidents from happening again.. If you go to the Vatican you will see all that the Catholic Church is actively doing to prevent future incidents, and help victims (none of which are discussed in the book). In other words, if you are looking for facts and a well balanced constructive analysis you'd be better off doing a Google search… Have faith!
"Behind the scenes?"
Pope Benedict's resignation sparked my interest on this topic, and I got this book to help me understand what internal challenges the Catholic church is facing. It did give me a better feel for some of the personalities; my sympathy for Pope Benedict has been augmented. I did not feel, however, that any of the information was 'behind the scenes'. I felt like most of the book was less about the Vatican and more about reporting on the Catholic church. It's something of a Vatican journalist's travelogue in places. On the plus side, I felt like the author was not looking to excoriate or embarrass, and is probably even a little sympathetic to the church. In the end I am slightly less cynical about the power structure in Rome.
"The Vatican Diaries"
An interesting listen, although I didn't always like what I heard. It is a miracle the Catholic Church has survived so many years; I imagine the Holy Spirit to have rolled his eyes more often than not.

text: Business Bay Area transit strike will snarl up commutes on Monday Above: BART stations will be empty thanks to a strike that will shut down the entire train system Monday.Image Credit: Thomas Hawk via photopin cc June 30, 2013 10:47 AM Dylan Tweney 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. We don't normally report on transit strikes on VentureBeat, but this one's worth noting: The labor union representing Bay Area Rapid Transit is planning a strike starting Monday. That means BART, which normally carries as many as 400,000 people per day throughout the Bay Area, will be shut down completely starting tomorrow. AC Transit buses, which are driven by members of the same union, will not be running either — so forget about taking the bus to cross the bay instead. Union leaders have reportedly been seeking a 5 percent pay increase for each of the coming three years, while BART executives are offering just 1 percent per year. The Mercury News has a more modest estimate of BART's usual capacity: It puts it at just 5 percent of the region's 3.8 million daily commuters. (The Merc also offers some helpful tips for avoiding the BART strike mess.) Still, BART and AC Transit are two of the major modes for crossing the San Francisco Bay from east to west, so anyone who lives in the East Bay but works in San Francisco will be highly inconvenienced by this strike. It will likely put a lot more cars on the Bay Bridge and increase commute times across the board. In short, tomorrow might be a good day to work at home. BART also has some tips on dealing with the strike. One possibility: BART is providing a limited charter bus service from some East Bay cities to San Francisco. Expect these buses to be packed, though. Note: The BART strike won't affect most people in Silicon Valley proper, because BART doesn't go that far south on the San Francisco peninsula anyway. So anyone working at Yahoo, where chief executive Marissa Mayer recently put the kibosh on telecommuting, shouldn't have any trouble getting to the office tomorrow.

Update: Raptors coach Dwane Casey indicated on Wednesday that Calderon would remain the starting point guard even after Kyle Lowry is cleared to play, the Toronto Star reports.
Recommendation: "Jose has earned the position," Casey said before Wednesday's game. "Jose has played as well as any point guard we've had this year so that's where it is right now. We'll see in the next couple of days but right now Jose is the starting point guard and has done a solid job of running the team, building trust, directing the young guys, making sure they're in the right place." The Raptors had won five straight before getting blown out in San Antonio on Wednesday, but if the club returns to its losing ways it wouldn't be a surprise to see Lowry reclaim the starting job down the road.

Great for shakes and smoothies.
I can't really tell if Ashwagandha Root Powder by Organic Traditions gives me energy or helps with stress, but I also can't say that I have been stressed or lethargic either. I am almost done with my bag, but I have not experienced any negative side effects from taking this. I will see how I feel once I stop using it but for now I will keep using it.
Inexpensive and claims to have great health benefits.
Has a weird taste, but not too overpowering. Not sure if it works yet.

Starry Nite (valentine's portrait), *new stuff at bottom
Haven't posted anything in this forum in a long long time. Finally Finished indeed describes this project though, as I worked on this on-and-off over the last several months. The work was originally started to compliment a specially rebound edition of the novel Relic by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. The special edition was a personal project for book artist Kara Sjoblom-Bay, strictly for exhibition and not for resale or profit. Unfortunately, Kara was forced to pull the plug on the project halfway through, but as a huge fan of the book and the authors, I wanted to see my own work through to completion, thus here we are. I hope you dig a few of these they were a lot of fun to do.

Superb narrative! Great, animated stylization as well. Overall, I'm loving it. A few critiques: Great value range and brush work for the most part but a bit of a dodge and burn look is muddying a couple of them up a bit. Also, there are some wonky hands. I'm really enjoying it though. I've corresponded with Douglas Preston and Lincon Child before and a relic concept piece I made a while back. They both seem very enthusiastic and appreciative of others taking the time to pay visual tribute to their work. I'd show them what you're up to if I were you. I bet theyd love it.

i really love chapter 53, great movement and color. It also seems very proportionate, and good perspective where some of your other work seems to lack. good work

Exo - Hey man, thanks a lot. Narrative is very important to me, so it warms my heart that that was the first thing out of your mouth! I actually remember your awesome rendition of the creature from Relic. At the time I'd done a couple portraits of Pendergast and his brother Diogenes, so I too had the pleasure of interacting with the authors. They were even nice enough to send me an excerpt from the novel they were working on to aid me with my portraits. I've sent them a link to these as well, and can't wait to hear what they think! As for the critique, I don't use the dodge and burn tools, but in the past I have been guilty of painting with too many overlay and color dodge layers. The downside of doing these over a period of several months is that the most recent ones are far superior to some of the first that I did. You could probably create a timeline of the order that I completed these simply by looking at them!
Denart - thank you sir!
Culpin - Chapter 53 was the last pic completed, so there's a perfect example of what I was saying to Exo. Glad you dig the stuff!

I think the border and text looks a little out of place with the rest of the imagery. Everything else looks good though.

Call of Cthulhu
Didn't want to start a new thread for this, but I've got some new finished work to share. Been sitting on it for a couple months and now got the okay from Fantasy Flight to post it. These are 3 card illustrations that were done for Call of Cthulhu. At the time I was working on these, the set was called "Lost Cities," but I believe they've changed it to "Forgotten Cities" now. I actually know for sure that one of these was rejected, but I'm hopeful that the other two will see publication in February. If nothing else, I hope some ppl dig them!
Oh, and for good measure, here's a CHOW that I was happy with...

Tristan - Wow, it's an honor. Thanks for commenting...The Hoover one is my favorite of the 3 as well, though there are a lot of small details that I wish I'd more time to focus on...like his funky hand.
Josh - Also an honor...I'm glad you liked the Relic stuff.
Thanks also to Jedmo and Vigo, who I should've thanked before posting my new stuff, d'oh!
January 13th, 2006 #12
cool stuff. it's nice to see that once you get an idea stuck in your head, you gollow through. I imagine these sequenced illustrations would be a great touch to your portfolio.
Oh, and by the way, show us your Cthulhu already. No more of this showing-only-part-of-it crap. We want to see the whole thing.
February 2nd, 2006 #13
Thanks Exo...I'll show you my Cthulhu if you show me yours.
So I've tried and failed to get some crits on this in my sketchbook, so I'm posting here in hopes I'll have a bit more success. I'm planning this portrait as a gift for my girl on valentine's day. Thankfully she doesn't check the forums, so I don't have to worry about spoiling the surprise. I'm planning on getting a big poster-size print through cafepress, but I thought I'd see if CA had any thoughts first. So crit away, please!

Southern actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, who makes his Bollywood debut opposite Rani Mukerji in "Aiyaa", claims to be her biggest fan.
"You all say you are big fans of Rani, but I will vouch for the fact that there is probably a bigger fan of Rani here right now, probably of all of Rani's films. I watched all her films and it is a great honour for me to be a part of a film that has Rani in it," the 29-year-old said here Thursday at the launch of the music of the film.
South Indian films are known for their crazy content but Prithvi says "Aiyaa" is the craziest film he has ever worked in.
"To me, this is the craziest film I have been part of. The humour, the dance, the music and wakda and above all Rani, it just doesn't get any crazier than 'Aiyaa.' So get prepared for one hell of a joyride," Prithviraj said.
Produced by Anurag Kashyap, "Aiyaa" has Rani in the role of a Marathi girl who tries to woo the man of her dreams.
Directed by Sachin Kundalkar, "Aiyaa" hits theatres Oct 12.

Agree, but at least Tesla makes a superior product. Sherwin Williams, consistently, offers sub-par paint at premium price point. This crapola outfit is emblematic of the ridiculous price overreach of domestic stocks. Their buying junk outfits in Mexico, et. al. has had its run. They're done. Your entry level is just fine at $274. Best wishes.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Spot on. Board has no integrity or accountability.
Based on market activity thus far this year, fully expect broad market to drop about 1% tomorrow. CMG will either pop 3-5% on bogus earnings/guidance (as is customary) or drop 10-15% if they're even semi-honest. Would be shocking if they remain anywhere near $715.

Team members of Pricewaterhouse Coopers sprayed silly string to encourage their teammate during the beginning of the ninth leg of the 2010 Bourbon Chase relay from Bardstown to Lexington on North Spalding Avenue in Lebanon Friday.
Size mattered on Thursday night in Shepherdsville.
The North Bullitt Eagles (6-3) and their monstrous front line were too much
for the Knights (5-4) in a 28-16 Knights loss at North Bullitt. The Eagles limited Marion County to only 11 offensive plays in the second half as they controlled the pace of the game. Only three of those plays were carries by a normally run heavy offense.
Green County handed Marion County its worst loss of the season Friday night in Greensburg as the Dragons beat Marion County, 42-21.
Marion County flashed a new look against LaRue County Friday at John J. Boswell Field in Lebanon.
Ryan Peterson threw for a career high 201 yards on nine of 15 passing and two touchdowns in the game of his life.
Meanwhile, the Hawks went a third consecutive game without a rushing touchdown and turned the ball over three times in Marion County's 55-6 win.
The young Knights didn't have enough firepower to keep up with powerhouse Danville on Thursday, bowing out 6-1 at Rebel Stadium in Danville during the second round of the district tournament.
"I knew going in it was a tall order," Head Coach Greg Conley said. "Danville is ranked 12th in state and should be higher I think. They move the ball well and the turf (at Rebel Stadium) exposes our lack of speed."
The Marion County High School volleyball team made program history Tuesday night of last week by winning an unprecedented third consecutive district championship.
The Knights knocked off Taylor County 2-0 (25-19, 26-24) for the third straight year. The teams have played in the district championship in the last years, ever since they joined the same district.
Boyle County was too much for the Marion County High School girls' soccer team to handle Tuesday of last week at Garrard County.
The Lady Rebels knocked off the Lady Knights 8-0 in the second round of the district tournament.
The Lady Knights opened the tournament with a 2-0 win over Taylor County on Monday of last week.
Marion County finishes the season with a 4-13-4 record.
Lady Knights Head Coach Hart Hagan could not be reached for comment Sunday night via phone or Monday morning via email.
The district landscape is starting to take shape but the final design won't be complete until this week.
North Bullitt beat Bullitt East last week 18-6 to put the Chargers in a position for elimination.
Marion County is now in a position where they are automatically in the playoffs but they can feasibly finish first, third or fourth.
"We control our destiny," Head Coach Jeff Robbins said. "If we win against North Bullitt we're the No. 1 seed."

These are my top picks for best ska albums of all time. The styles are all over the place on this list, some old, some new; some easy and some quite hard.
Mustard Plug and Dan Potthast kicked off a ten day winter tour on Thursday night at Off Broadway.
Hailing from Masaya, Nicaragua, Milly Majuc fuses ska, reggae, Latin music and contemporary rock in ways that few bands would dare, let alone imagine. Just try to keep from dancing along to the track "Giovana."
Dave Wakeling was instrumental in bringing the driving sound of ska and reggae to post punk in an otherwise bleak era of big hair, shoulder pads, MTV and Colombian No-Doz.
Wednesday was a perfect day for an all-day music festival at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.
New York natives the Slackers took the stage of the Firebird on Thursday night, accompanied by the Bishops, and locals the Rocksteady Flyers.
The Bishops are a Midwestern ska band that stays true to its far-away roots.
Big D and the Kids Table, supported by the Pietasters, brought a party to the Old Rock House stage on Friday night.
Flagship 2Tone group the English Beat returns to the Blueberry Hill Duck Room on Wednesday, August 28, promoting a new various artists anthology of English Beat cover songs benefiting Teenage Cancer Trust. Lead singer and guitarist Dave Wakeling spoke to me recently about the album and the charity, dropping a bit of eclectic English social history along the way.
The turntable is spinning, the sound system is hooked up and the bass can be felt vibrating the ground as the stars begin to cascade around the moon in a haze of cigarette smoke, empty bottles and cans.

Onalaska Streetscape Project Now In Hands Of DOT
The final plans for Onalaska's 2nd Avenue/State Highway 35 reconstruction plans are off to the DOT.....with an early April construction date right around the corner. Deena Murphy says last May, the City got the ball rolling to develop the streetscape design for the Great River Road.
The project will enhance an 8 block area of the Hwy 35 corridor from Elm Street on the south to Poplar Street on the north, making the downtown area more attractive and friendlier to pedestrians and bicyclists. The streetscape design is a key component of the Waterfront Master Plan.

four days from our tour of America. bike is ready will load it up with all of our "stuff" tomorrow. this picture is before being loaded. Kirk and Lynn will ride with us for the first couple of days. first stop is Sedona, AZ, to see the sunset from the airport. we have 2 1/2 months to tour as much of the back roads of America as we can. our objective is to stay off freeways and out of big cities. we will stop and see some family and friends along the way. we will post as often as we have something worth posting and or have wi-fi. I am tech. challenged so hopefully this will work.
Looking forward to the ride tale, be safe.
good on you guys
Sounds like a great time is waiting to be had. If you should have any problems arise while in northern arizona, I'm just a PM away.....
While in this part of the world, I would recommend a ride around the Prescott area to include the Verde Valley and Bagdad.....great roads, nice looking country......US 93 from I40 to Wickenburg is a nice ride.....and It's not hot yet. Enjoy!
We are envious and happy for you. Wish we could have joined you. Maybe next time. Don't be stingy about posting pics and tales from the road. We working folk need it to get through the day.
Wishing you all the best for the ride and please be safe.
three days from our road trip, today I loaded the bike with all the stuff just to see if it would all fit.http://2ontour.smugmug.com/Other/sum.../L/image-L.jpg
OK fellow OC'r, this sounds fun!
Welcome to ADV.
How about some bio on you two, the bike, and the ride. Got any 'must do' destinations? ie, the corner's of the U.S., Hwy 12 in UT, Barber Motorcycle Museum in AL, to name a few???
Do you have a blog anywhere, or will you be posting up here?
Sedona airport :eek1, great views indeed.
We'll be following, have a great trip!
the night before we leave on our big ride, I can't get the bike started. acts like a throttle body issue. I get it running after about twenty minutes but now not real confident, so I call my local BMW dealer, Irv Seaver in Orange Ca. they were great and took me in first thing in the morning and checked it out, apparently the gas lines were "loose and hitting the throttle cable".
My brother Ron and his wife wendy surprised me by showing up at Irv's and riding the first day to Sedona with us, they were on their LT. my other Brother Kirk and his girlfriend and Lynn, were already planning to ride a couple days with us and were waiting at our house.
with the delay at the shop, we only were delayed about 45 minutes from our original start time.
we got on the road about 9:00am. headed out of OC on the 91 to the 60 east and in Palm Springs took the 62 through 29 palms. hadn't taken that route before, probably don't need to again. it started to get a little warm, but at least "it was a dry heat" 100 degrees is still hot dry or not!. luckily, we got out of the heat after just a couple of hours and climbed up in elevation when we started heading up to Skull Valley off the 89, got a picture in front of the general store with a skull painted on he front of the store. dropped into the back of Prescott AZ, nice scenery and the weather was pleasant in the mid 80"s.
from Prescott, shot into Sedona and made it to the airport to catch the sunset. Sat. isn't probably the best day to do the sunset thing because when we pulled up to he little dirt parking lot, there were at least two hundred people there also waiting for the sunset. when the sun ducked behind the red mountains, people cheered like the were surprised.
lucky for us we called ahead and had a hotel, because the town was full. we found a great little Itailian restaurant. day one done, 69ish to go. all in all a good start.
Sounds like a great trip
Looking forward to the rest of your story!
Brian's Brother Ron here. As Brian said, my wife and I made a last minute decision to tag along for the first leg of their trip ending in Sedona Az. We got back home a few hours ago.
This is a shot of Brian, Jill, Kirk and Lynn as we are leaving Brian's place.
I thought I might add a little background info and a few pics from the first leg of the ride.
All three brothers live in Orange County CA. We have each been riding one type of motorcycle or another most of our lives. Long bike trips are something we share a passion for but never get to do enough of. Back in 2008 the three of us, along with Brian's Son Brian Jr., did an Alaska ride together and that was outstanding. Brian has retired and has the time to take this epic U.S tour with his wife Jill. I am so envious!
Brian is still riding the same trusty 1150 GS he took to Alaska back in 2008. In fact, my other brother Kirk is riding the Same GSA he took on that trip. I just sold my GSA in anticipation of the new LC GSA so the LT was in the mix for this first send-off leg of their trip.
These are a couple of shots of the guys on the road somewhere in the desert between 29 Palms CA and Parker AZ.
Kirk and Lynn who will be splitting off for a week ride of their own. Not sure if he is posting his ride in ride reports or not but he can chime in if he is.
And finally, Skull Valley General Store. Just a spot in the road on a back route into Prescott AZ. Couldn't get the whole sign in the shot because the sun was setting right above the rooftop.
We had a great day riding together and were able to have a proper send-off dinner in Sedona AZ with Brian and Jill. Enjoy every minute guys and don't forget to post often.
Day two of our epic tour of the US. we got a little of a late start in Sedona, slept in till about 8:00 am, had beakfast and got on the road. headed north out of town on the 89, toward the Grand cyn. we got a little sidetracked when I saw a photo op, a dirt road with snow capped mountains in the distance. ended up taking the dirt road through the forrest, it was was the diversion, road wan't that bad, and the scenery was great. few pict's of that part of the day, turned out to be about 10-15 miles of back country, this was really in keeping with one of our main objectives of staying off freeways.
after our excursion on the mountain road, we headed to the Grand cyn. the weather was perfect and the scenery was mountain roads, and pine trees.
the Grand Cyn, is always impressive, I think this is the third or fourth time I've been there.
Looks and sounds like a great start. The photos are good to see. How is it being miced for the first time? Jeff...p.s. finally got through "the process" to be on this site. Felt like a background check but glad to be aboard and talking with you guys.
Great start to your trip. Keep up the pix and commentary. I've ridden around the Country myself, and never get tired of reading other riders exploits.
Ride safely,
OK, on my last post, I was tired, so I kind of rushed through the day. Briefly, the day in AZ was great, the ride out of Sedona on the 89 north is one of my favorite. the red mountains combined with the trees and the river is hard to beat. the dirt road that I talked about, and put a pict. or two on the post was an unexpected joy. Both Kirk and I are (were) dirt bike riders, we still have our wr 450's in our garage, but it's been a while since we actually took them out and abused them (us). so we really liked the "off road", now those big GS's aren't by any stretch of the imagination a dirt bike but the beauty of the gs is just that, when you see a dirt road, you can go. deep sand and large rocks are no fun on the beast, but that ride was fantastic.
Last night when we came out of the Grand Cyn. after a mass attack of bugs, wind shield and face shield covered from just a few miles, little buggers managed to get inside our helmets, even with the face shield down.
we ended up stopping in Cameron, thinking that it would be a little shack, next to a gift shop. turns out, it was a "find" the trading post has been there since early 1900's and the restaurant and hotel were added much more recently. it was really nice and at a reasonable rate. the Navajo Taco and fry bread was a hit.
out of Cameron, we headed to the Four Corners. for those that don't know it is where AZ, UT,NM, and CO all come together, the only place in the country where four states come together. took our obligatory tourist pictures and got back on the road.
stopped at the UTE Casino for lunch, and then back on the 160 toward Cortez CO. that's where Kirk and Lynn separated from us to start their way back home via Arches National Monument. we split at the 160 & 491 junction.
the terrain from southern CO to just a few miles east on the 160 changes dramatically, from "barren desert" to rolling hills with farms to Mountains with snow. we got into Durango CO. at about 5ish, with the time change we lost an hour. we really didn't put that many miles on the bike today, much like yesterday, but they were quality and that is what counts. so we pulled into town and found a great old Hotel, the General Palmer Hotel, it was built in 1898. the wife loves old hotels that have been restored, so if she's happy....
Tomorrow, the plan is to head south through NM.
The Slow Brother
Hey everyone,
I am the third brother Kirk. Sorry it took so long for me to post up but we have been uploading the 12000 pics that my GF Lynn has taken. We have even more to upload tonight. So I will keep the text to a minimum and just get the pics going.
This is us ready to go
Ron and Wendy on the road
This was at a gas stop near 29 Palms. Just thought it was a cool pic

Will post more later gotta eat!
Looking forward to the Report, and keep the pics coming!
