Idyllic Kovalam - Kanyakumari
3 Nights Kovalam (2) → Kanyakumari (1)
GET Rs. 350 off on Online Booking
Legends, tradition, culture and religion blend to form a brilliant potpourri that is Kanyakumari. It is Indiaâs southernmost tip where the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea join the Indian Ocean. Sprawled out on the shore of this great âTriveni sangamâ is the Kanyakumari town home to an array of beautiful temples, most importantly the iconic Kumari Amman temple, a colorful beach bazaar and the Vivekananda Rock Memorial standing sentinel over the sea. The memorial is built in honor of Swami Vivekananda who swam in this rough sea to the rock and meditated for days. The town gradually came up around the famous shore temple dedicated to the virgin goddess, Kanyakumari.More

What Kanyakumari does with its seashells is something to be witnessed at the local beach bazaar. The array of curios from looking mirrors framed with millions of tiny seashells, lampshades, wall hangings, junk jewelry, trinkets, bags with shell designs, to conchs in different shapes and hues, make the experience of flipping through souvenir shops very fascinating. If nothing else, at least pick up a few trinkets made of seashells â they are one-off and a popular-buy here. The local bazaar on the outer fringes of the Kanyakumari beach is a hub to find shell-craft in addition to an assortment of artifacts made of bamboo, cane and teak, miniature paintings on palm leaves, textiles, fabrics and handicraft typical of Tamil Nadu. Palm leaf utility articles also make for a good buy. This local
bazaar is an eclectic mix of little kiosks to proper shops selling South Indian silk sarees, coconut-shell souvenirs, colorful Kathakali masks, patchwork and embroidered handbags, batik dress material, paintings, fresh coconut nectar, seashell jewelry, seashell artifacts and many other fascinating bric-a-brac.
And if you want it all under one roof, head to Tamil Nadu Co-optex Sales Emporium, Tamil Nadu Crafts or Poompuhar. These are well-known shopping centres in the town from where you can pick up fabrics, textiles and handicraft for yourself and your loved ones back home.
Within the Kumari Amman temple premise too there are handicraft shops selling attractive seashell souvenirs. At the memorial shop of the Vivekananda Rock Memorial you get to choose from many interesting books on the life and philosophy of Swami Vivekananda and other related mementos.
Restaurant - Traditional Chettinad cuisine is cooked to perfection in most kitchens in Kanyakumari, from fish dominant dishes to fermented coconut specialties - you can make your pick from a great assortment. If you take to snacking, enjoy the freshly fried banana chips ranging from pepper flavored to plain salted. Kanyakumari is not really the place for European or Oriental cuisine, sticking to regional delicacies here is a safer bet. Donât forget, South Indian cuisine (nullespecially in the Kerala-Tamil Nadu belt) is a bit of an acquired taste as it is cooked in coconut oil and with coconut. The spice content in most dishes is also normally high. If you do not have the palate for spicy food, make sure to mention your taste and preference to the waiter before you order. However,
you have a great array of local specialties to choose from.
Walk into any local restaurant in Kanyakumari, and you will find idli, dosa and kappa, in addition to the rice and curry served with vegetables or fish. Most in-site restaurants of the Kanyakumari hotels rustle up typical Tamil Nadu specialties including succulent seafood, bringing out the fiery and tangy taste of the cuisine.
This uniquely colored 16-foot (null.8 meters) memorial stands as a grim reminder of the lives claimed by the Asian Tsunami, on the southern shores of Kanyakumari. On 26 December 2004, the giant waves of the Indian Ocean smashed the coast of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and other South-east Asian countries killing thousands and rendering many homeless. Tsunami Memorial is indeed a very special monument in honor of the people who lost their lives under the havoc wrecked by the gigantic waves.More
Surface - Frequent bus service is available to Kanyakumari from Trivandrum, the closest major transport hub. You can also take a coach from Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai to name a prominent few.
Train - Kanyakumari has a well connected and serviced railway network to all major cities in the country such as Chennai, Trivandrum, Kochi, Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata and Coimbatore among others. The longest train route in India begins from Kanyakumari to Jammu.
Air - Trivandrum in Kerala is the nearest international airport to Kanyakumari with direct flights from the Middle East, Singapore, Maldives and Sri Lanka among other important destinations. After de-boarding you can take the train, bus or taxi which takes about two hours to get you to Kanyakumari. A private taxi charges around Rs 9-10 per kilometer which would be close to INR 1000. Alternatively, arrive into Cochin (nullthe second nearest airport to Kanyakumari), Kozhikode, Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi or Kolkata, and then take the rail to Kanyakumari.
Kanyakumari is a coastal town with an average elevation of 0 meters (null foot) at the meeting point of the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. It is at the termination point of the Eastern and Western Ghats, bounded by Kerala state to the west and northwest, and Tirunelveli District to the north and east.
Kanyakumari has tropical climate with no significant variation through the year. It mostly remains warm, but the period between October and March is pleasant and great for a holiday. April to June are the peak summer months with temperature soaring up to 35 degree Celsius. The head waves begin to ebb by end October, beginning November. And the following months till February stay cool with temperature hovering around 21 degree Celsius. Sometimes the Northeast monsoon brings gentle rainfall in October, November and December. It receives an approx. yearly rainfall of 1188.6mm. At other times, rainfall is common at any time of the year. So, when visiting the city, carry along ample light cotton clothes, and if possible, an umbrella. A layer of woolens to go with a shawl more than suffices in the winter.

Many atheists in this thread won't love their fellow post-ers without pre-approval of their beliefs.
I really don't see any evidence that this is so. Your statement is both presumptuous and prejudiced.
I give MMO a tremendous amount of credit in the promotion of atheism
I already explicitly stated that American Atheists does not speak for atheists. By extension, that would mean that Madalyn Murray O'Hair (whom I presume you mean by the initials MMO) didn't speak for all atheists when she was alive. Did you disbelieve me, or did you somehow accidentally skip over my posts?
If you believed me, then why assume that atheists generally agree with her positions. If not, then why not?
American Atheists has about 4,000 members. Assuming only 1 in 100 people in the world are atheists (a gross underestimate), there are over 3,000,000 atheists in the USA (assuming uniform distribution; no matter, the actual figure is larger) and over 60,000,000 atheists worldwide (again, the actual figure is larger). Does that put it into perspective how little weight American Atheists has in the atheist community?
From the Washington Post
, earlier this year:
The Washington Post wrote:
That challenge has potential pitfalls. American Atheists membership is 4,000, Silverman said — a small sliver of the 2.4 percent of Americans who identified as atheists in a 2012 survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. Less strident groups are larger: the Freedom from Religion Foundation claims more than 19,000 members, and the American Humanist Association claims 40,000.
A'forum to vent'
Phil Zuckerman, a professor of sociology at Pitzer College and an expert on secularism, said that while he applauds the passion and purpose of O'Hair's acolytes, they do not represent mainstream atheism.
"There is a place for American Atheists, definitely, but clearly, most atheists are not angry, do not hate religion and do not need a forum to vent," he said. "I think the fact that their numbers are so low shows that the strident, aggressive version of atheism is a distinct minority."
The atheists I choose to associate with don't hold a person's religion against them. Their issue with religion only comes when people can't keep their religions to themselves.
When you repeatedly misrepresent people's positions, even after corrections and clarifications have been offered, don't be surprised if people aren't willing to interact on your terms.
A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP

Racquet of choice by Stanislas Wawrinka, the VCORE Tour G (330) has impressive stability, plow through and precision. Advanced players who swing big will be able to hit a heavy, spin loaded ball with this one. Even more impressive is this stick's accuracy on full swings, a fact that should enable aggressive ball strikers to step on the gas and close out points. While the overall feel is crisp, Yonex adds some arm-friendly flexibility to the shaft with its Neo CS Carbon Nanotube material. From the baseline plush and very stable against pace. Even the upper hoop feels solid thanks in part to the addition of Micro Core technology, which strengthens the racquet at 10 & 2 o'clock. Not only does the racquet have enough plow- through, pop and spin potential to satisfy the modern power player, it's also solid enough for the grinding counter puncher who likes to redeploy incoming pace with relentless consistency and placement. At net this one is rock solid and unfazed by pace. It has enough mass to keep defensive stabs deep, with plenty of "put-away power" for those who punch the ball with authority. Serving with this one is all about control. However, for those who can get the mass moving, there is definitely some heat to be had. All in all Yonex has produced another stick that will give 4.5+ players everything needed to play at a very high level. *This racquet is compatible with the Sony Smart Tennis Sensor.

I had intercourse on the 21st, and my period is due the 2nd of February. How soon can I take the test? Part of me wants to take it everyday because I am so hoping, but technically when is it wisest to check?
How soon after intercourse can I take a pregnancy test?
Comments (9)
where you ovulating when you had sex? if so then wait about 10 days and check.
Wendy (35)
5 cylces BFN, 1 MC (4-22-12) & Teddy Born 2-14-13
The earliest tests can detect is one week before your missed period but the chances of showing a false negative are higher the earlier you test. I would at least wait until the day after my period is supposed to come
If you didn't get pregnant this round, look on amazon.com for this particular opk my fertility specialist told us about... It gives you a smiley face for positive and tests your lh surge, which is the hormone that pushes your egg(s) out, so you're getting your most fertile days when you test:
Some early signs of pregnancy besides morning sickness/all day sickness, include: implantation "bleeding" however it's more like spotting; nose bleeds; congestion; headaches; round ligament pain (mine started as early as 5wks because I'm so petite); ability to smell things better; mood swings (mine were pretty bad because of the hormonal shift); changes in amount and color of discharge that can range from clear, to yellow, to white, brown (old blood) and even tan; spotting after sex, even 24 hours later; changes in breasts and nipples... Those are just a few, before you actually miss your period.
Good luck to you!
Take the test about 4 days prior to your AF, then test again once you are a few days late.
I was temping and charting and started testing every day at 10 days post ovulation (4 days before my period was due) and I did not get a + test till the day my period was due cause I implanted late......
Theoretcially if you were ovulating the day you had sex, you should be able to start testing about 10dpo, but it depends on when you ovulated, not when you had sex. Cause if you did not ovulate for 4 days after you had sex, then 10 days post sex would only be 6 days post ovulation and that is WAY too early...the egg is still traveling then.

Another example of Ackman buying in front of a deal that VRX eventually buys out at an obscene price. Just some very shady stuff and now news is out that female viagra product from Sprout is a complete dud.
you almost had me on what the heck is VRON...lol
i meant 13Ds, not form 4s. Maybe someone else knows, but I like to check myself too.
Ackman already said that debt level of the company is a problem, and I guess we had that discussion yesterday already just go to leave it at that.
100% agree if he was hedged, although we have to disagree on that one. Now that you mention it, given Ackman has such inside reach and owned over 5% of VRX, I'm wondering if SEC disclosures are necessary for his derivative positions, if he had any. And if he was a 5% holder, I think that would trigger disclosure on form 3 or form 4s. I could be wrong.
I think overall, his track record is still some huge profits despite this loss and he can say he earned 40% last year and the next hot idea, he promises to deliver and they learn from this one...etc.
more like asset sales, but doubt whole company will be sold. The issue is Ackman and other investors, ironically, would stand in a way of a deal even if offer is 50% above current prices because his cost is $188/shr. Unless public sources of his costs are incorrect, then i doubt Ackman would accept a deal that puts him in deep red. Then again, in the past, Ackman have used potential deal info and traded on it so maybe he will buy a lot more before the deal gets announced to make it worth his while - just better hope SEC watchdogs are still asleep.
I don't they were hedged, these guys are paid to take risks, lots of it. Those fees they get paid from clients aren't for them to smooth risk and lower returns - maximize alpha. Why would I give him money to invest and pay lots of fees if I can do the same thing and hedge away the risk? high net worth individuals count on Ackman and other hedge funds for their expertise in taking on risks, but at the same time, these individuals would be expected to face downside risks as well.
lol, brokerages don't take monopoly game money.
of course they are worried about the other selling, so not unheard of in these sort of situation where selling could continue to crater the stock that remaining big existing investors would come to some understanding about how to handle this situation jointly on what will trigger them to sell and at what price and what volume.
Buffett/Munger could use your line against Ackman! they own part of coke.
Yeah, I bought into that exact same concept that Ackman and Pearson were like a dynamic duo. I actually thought Ackman's cowboy ways of doing things on the fringe was interesting and profitable. Combined with Pearson aggressive M&A style in this hot space, I thought this was a must investment at the time. Yes, I bought into the story and did well, until campaign 2016 rolled in and Hillary made biotech her bad boy story when I sold nearly all my biotech stocks and that is I think one has to recognize the fundamental landscape has changed for biotech - price gouging might be a thing of the past. And now both side of the parties are asking for investigation so even if Dems don't take 2016, the issues remain. And that is before all the internal issues at VRX are taken into account. Too much headline risk still in this stock.
"like when soda water loses its fizzle and you can't put it back" nice one!
wow, sorry that is quite a hit, I actually had the same stocks you held, BAC and DNDN when both cratered too but not in that loss magnitude. And I had VRX but sold 170ish at loss. Very rare for stock to fall like this and bounce back when so many questions involves legal, financial shenanigans and other problems. Sometimes stocks get dump to get weak hands out like they did at EXPE in February and it doubled since but I had to stay discipline and sold that one too. Unless one is an insider, can't never be sure these 20% haircuts are not bigger problems than just trading against weak hands.
unreal, you can't make this up. Never ending parade of crazy things done by the company is making news headlines.
not how the real world works, public company typically has D&O insurance that pays for legal representation of their officers and board members during time of crisis will cover him regardless of whether he is with the company or not. Without that coverage, all directors will quit on the spot. However, if he committed fraud and violated company policy, he will be on his own defending himself and maybe even Valeant will sue him.
so are you saying is that the funds can sell your winners to cover their losers?
and Sequoia funds tried to get some of these ex-employees to talk only to Sequoia. The whole setup just reeks from head to toe - even investors are a shady bunch - no wonder some of Sequoia independent directors resigned.
looks like GS did Pearson a favor here and thank die hard longs here for taking it off his hands.
more like no buying interest, stock going down doesn't mean shorts are pushing it down - the MM will walk this price down when no one is offering to bid for it... the fact that Citron is not shorted anymore is actually not good for longs, you need shorts to provide cover and squeeze.

Nanny caught up in immigration backlog faces deportation
Ottawa says caregiver is inadmissible because she briefly worked under the table while waiting for an open work permit.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
A Filipino nanny is facing deportation from Canada after she was found guilty of "misrepresentation" because she briefly worked under the table while waiting for an open work permit amid an immigration backlog.
Canada Border Services Agency has refused to defer Lilia Ordinario Joaquin's removal on Friday. Her lawyer filed an emergency application Tuesday asking the federal court to review the CBSA decision and stop the deportation.
"I'd say 'the fix was in' for Lilia. She fulfilled all the requirements of the live-in caregiver program but was caught by an extraordinarily long period of delay in receiving her open work permit from the government," said the woman's lawyer, Jennifer Stone, of the Neighbourhood Legal Services.
"Because of this delay, she was forced to do some babysitting under the table. She didn't want to go on welfare and she had no other choice. I believe a real injustice has been done in her case."
Joaquin, who has a university degree in architecture, came to Toronto in 2007 under the live-in caregiver program. In 2009, the 52-year-old mother of five applied for permanent residency and an open permit after she met the minimum two-year "live-in" requirement of the program.
At the time, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) had a huge backlog and live-in caregivers who had qualified for permanent status routinely had to wait 18 months for open work permits. Joaquin's didn't arrive until two years later, in November 2011.
For four months, she babysat for a family while her application for a new work permit was in process. For that, she was deemed inadmissible for misrepresentation by "working without authorization."
In refusing Joaquin's deferral request, CBSA said deferring a removal is a temporary measure intended for "exceptional" circumstances.
"It is not the appropriate avenue to circumvent any legislative measures enacted by parliament to preserve the integrity of Canada's immigration process," an enforcement officer wrote in a letter dated last Friday.
"The removals process is a difficult experience and that relocation may be difficult at this time. However, I am not satisfied that you have provided sufficient evidence to demonstrate that you face a genuinely exceptional circumstance that justifies the deferral of your removal."
Joaquin's lawyer had argued that her client had met all the requirements at the time she submitted her permanent residency application, and should not be punished for the administrative backlog.
Stone has filed an application to ask the immigration department to grant Joaquin permanent resident status on humanitarian and compassion grounds. A decision is pending. However, an appeal to Immigration Minister Chris Alexander to intervene has been denied.

Taxi passengers caught with daggaComment on this story
Eastern Cape - Two taxi passengers heading for Port Elizabeth were arrested in Grahamstown after they were caught with bags of dagga, Eastern Cape police said on Friday.
The men, 20 and 30-years-old, were arrested on the N2 on Thursday after highway patrollers stopped and checked the taxi and its loaded trailer, said Captain Mali Govender.
"All the passengers were asked to stand with their bags and (there were) two bags that were not claimed by any of the passengers, " said Govender.
The taxi driver denied knowing to whom they belonged.
"Two passengers assisted the police and pointed out who the owners of the bags were," said Govender.
The bags contained 16kg of dagga with an estimated street value of around R16 000.
The men were arrested and charged with dagga possession.
They would appear in the Grahamstown Magistrate's Court on Monday. - Sapa

I can bend silverware, it's an old magic trick. You need two spoons, one bent, one normal. Pass out the normal one then distract the audience and switch it. Use your fingers to cover up the fact that it's already bent. While rubbing or "energizing" it you slowely push it out so it looks like it's bending. It's actually pretty convincing and it's a good trick to freak people out with.
I guess I broke some magician's code by revealing the secrets. The biggest secret magicians have is that their tricks are hardly that amazing lol

Except that quantum physics is generally theoretical. If we were to apply rules of quantum physics to the act of bending silverware it would go somthing like this:
You show me how it's possible to bend a fork, however, since I'm expecting to see you bend a spoon then the fork becomes a spoon because I, the observer, have changed it. As you begin to bend the fork-turned-spoon you begin to realise that you're not really bending the fork at all, you're forcing the appearance of the same fork in a bent state because that same fork exists in an infinite number of places in an infinite number of positions, shapes and sizes. The fork then bends like butter and breaks in half, smashing into a thousand peices which then begin to melt and disappear.
The fork disappeared because it was never there in the first place, it was merely a creation of your mind stemming from what you as an observer, a force without form, expected everything to look like. The fork was never really a fork, it was one of an infinite number of combinations of the energy making up the fork. Neither you nor I were really there, in your living room, looking at silverware change state. There was no room, there was no fork, there was only the combined effort of two observers to affect their environment.
So even according to quantum physics you can't bend silverware 'cause there really is no silverware.
All man's knowledge has grown from the knowledge, realisations and understanding of the past. Since the first thinking organism learned somthing new we have been building off of previous knowledge to create our new knowledge.
When you were first learning to read you knew what a "cat" was, what it looked like, and probably how to say it. You learned to write the word "cat" because your teacher told you that a three letter combination consisting of C, A, and T is the formula we use to represent that furry little critter.
When scientists began to come up with the theory of Quantum Physics they built it off of the knowledge they had before that. They did not start all over again and ask themselves "Why is the sky blue?"
I think what you meant to say is that with new knowledge comes the need to redefine certain processes, actions, objects, or concepts along the line of the new knowledge.
Quantum physics is fun and all but you have to stay grounded in reality. According to QP there's a chance that you can walk right through the wall, but try as you might it's not gonna happen.

Episode Reviews (76)
Shots fired in the ER!!
Possibly the best ER season finale ever!!! Criminals brought in as patients attempt to escape and do a pretty good job thanx to an indider they have in the form of a fake trainee nurse. From then on the Drama and the action steps up a gear with a full on gun war in the middle of the ER.
This in easily the best season finale this show has delivered in its 15 year run, the final 5 mins were amazing, i was on the edge of my seat and when the credits began rolling with so many questions unanswered i almost died!!! Was Abby Dead?, How was Sam going to escape with her son?, would Jerry surive? Who would discover Luka tied up and was he ok? What was going to happen??
Overall Brilliant Drama, Brilliant Action, Brilliant Acting, possibly the best ER episode ever!!!moreless
one of their best finales
action, emotion, drama and heartache: everything you'd expect from ER. Still delivering quality episodes 12 years in, I couldn't have asked for more. The shoot out was the OK Corral and was done beautifully. Starting out slow and eerily silent with Sam's awesome cue to Abby ('Abigail') and rocketing into high action shooting and ducking for cover. When Sam's ex pulled open the van door to reveal Alex inside I literally got chills. Abby slumping to the floor while Snow Patrol's 'Open Your Eyes' swelled and Luka watched helplessly had me screaming at the tv and counting the days until the premiere. Bravo.moreless
A very exciting episode.
This was a great episode - very cleverly plotted and the way the motion was set and thing started to work - it was amazing. I never expected anything like this - the action, the danger and I think maybe the most shocking moment was when we saw Alex taped up. The man has to be crazy - kidnap his own child this way. It was horrible.
And the ending - I really liked it. The music, the way Luka was so helpless to see what was going on and do nothing and then Abby - collapsing before his eyes and he could not do nothing.
Great season ender.moreless
I feel like it's 2000 again, a fine return to form...
If you have a conversation with someone about favourite TV shows and you mention ER as one of yours, you are likely to talk to someone who used to watch the show but has given up on it.
"Oh I stopped watching when George Clooney left," they might say, or "it's not the same as it was." Well I suggest showing them this episode as an example of how fine a show this is. Sure, the format is in excess of 13 years old; sure, a lot of the original characters we have known and loved have gone (Sherry Stringfield's departure this season was atrocious, she hadn't had a decent storyline for a while so I am unsurprised , but as an original character she deserved a better departure - I hope to see Susan Lewis return on day soon...)
But the one thing this show can produce is original loveable characters, and NO character or actor is bigger than the show, the departures of Mark Greene and Carter (and Clooney to a certain extent) have proved that.
This particular episode was stellar. Stellar writing, stellar screenplay, stellar performances. Maura Tierney (Abby) is exceptional as Abby, but I believe it is Linda Cardellini (Sam) who absolutely shines in this episode, as she has throughout her time with the show (a shame that the child actor who plays her son was replaced, for continuity purposes).
In my opinion this episode is a true return to form, not since the season 6 two parter "Be Still My Heart/All In The Family" have I been so on the edge of my seat with adrenaline, ER should be available on prescription as a stimulant...moreless
abby is in the shoot out and passes out bleeding on the floor of a trauma room.
this episode is absulutly amazing and so exciting.i was hooked through out the episode and waited eight months to see what happend. i had never been so hooked and drawn to a tv program like i am to this one. it has got to be the best episode so far out of all twelve series. it was just so amazing and was left so well. i haven't missed an episode since i saw this one. i cant wait to see what they do next. i love this series now and every episode seems to be better than the last one.i am definetly going to watch er until the last ever episode.moreless
A bit out of character and over the top
Looking back at this episode, it doesn't hold up as well as most. I fully agree that there were some fantastic special effects and stunts in this episode. We don't normally see that on an average episode of ER. However, the main storylines were dwarfed by some really unpleasant characters and storylines. I absolutely hated the funeral for Michael. It was very tasteless and unpleasant. The fact that Pratt was the only one from the hospital was horrible to watch. Even Mark's funeral brought back a few characters. This one was almost hidden from sight.
Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment for me was the main storyline with Luka, Steve, Sam and the fellow prisoner and his girlfriend. This whole storyline felt overly written and just as a way to show just how bad Steve was. It was meant to be a period to Sam's rather tiresome relationship with Steve. Truthfully, while Sam did make an attempt to draw attention to the escape, it was a bit too little and too late.
The photography and stunt work was stylized and rather a tip of the hat to some current filmmakers. It just felt rather out of place on ER. I do applaud them trying to energize the show and do something else, but it was just another cliffhanger. I'm not sure we need to see a cliffhanger every finale.
On the plus side, the aftermath of chaos was done really well and the ER's attempt to save Jerry was admirable. We got to see Morris step up and take charge and that was great. Also, Maura Tierney was terrific in her last scene when she collapses. The full horror of the day came in that scene with her lying on the floor and the ER being unaware of her condition. Plus, the Snow Patrol song was a perfect choice!moreless
Greates episode ever!
wooow then I first saw this episode I couldn't help but feeling withdrawn to see what happen next but since here in my country I have to wait a lot to see the next season and I couldn't figure out exactly when they will show it I enter the net the same day and downloaded the next episode cuz I couldn't help it I had to see what happened.
The story of this episode was superb the writer should be given an award or something, also the director, and of course the actors, and every body who done something in this episode cuz it was greeeeeeeeeat. I felt sorry for Abby when I saw that she was bleeding and I became scared for the baby and when I saw Kovac trying very hard to release him self to try to save Abby and their baby my eyes became tearful
I can't continue u should see it Ur selfmoreless
Unbelievable. Best episode ever.
I watched this episode after missing th few running before it. However found it easy to pick up what was going on.
Was a bit ..boring at the beginning, just seemed like a regular day in the ER, then when everything starting happening, Abbey almost getting shot, i was on the edge of my seat, almost pleading for nothing to happen to the baby. I felt for Sam when she found her son kidnapped in the back of the van and was almost forced in.
Then when Luca see's Abbey collapsing but cant do anything to help her, it was killing me.
A fabulous episode, one of ER's finest.moreless
One of my favorite episodes!
This is a great episode! The star is a little slow, but it gets better. Sam callikn Abby 'Abigail' was a really smart move, but then Steve and his friends star shooting everywhere, and one of the bullets hits Jerry.
Gallant's funeral was really sad!
The final scene makes you really nervous, because Abby is on the floor, bledding, Luka is paralized in the next room, and it ends like this, so we keep wondering if baby Joe is gonna be ok, if Abby is gonna be ok...
The music Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol was perfect for the final scene!moreless
Best episode of ER ever
One of the best pieces of fictional drama I've ever seen on television and without doubt the best episode of ER so far. The content, of course, is harrowing but the overall pace and editing of the episode is unparalleled, leaving the viewer with the hugest of cliff-hangers (I stood staring with my mouth open at the television, speechless) as primary characters are left marooned in life-threatening jeopardy! What also really set this episode apart from the others was the soundtrack in the closing scenes - every time I hear the track I remember the danger the characters were in and it gives me goosebumps. An amazing and tantalising piece of television, bravo to all involved.moreless

As part of Epiphone's ongoing celebration honoring its 140th Anniversary, the guitar manufacturer is giving away a Ltd. Ed. 140th Anniversary Epiphone Coronet and a signed copy of The Epiphone Guitar Book: A Complete History of Epiphone Guitars by Walter Carter.
Head HERE to enter the contest. You must enter by August 31. Good luck!
"The Anniversary Coronets are one-of-a-kind and feature a montage of historical photos from our archive," said Epiphone President Jim Rosenberg. "And the recent publication of Walter Carter's history of Epiphone, The Epiphone Guitar Book, has been a big hit with our fans."
The Coronet was first produced in 1958 at the legendary Gibson/Epiphone Kalamazoo factory in Michigan and was among the first new models to inaugurate the "new" Epiphone line after Epiphone became part of the Gibson family of brands.
The Epiphone Anniversary Coronet, much like rare vintage (and now very valuable) models, is a favorite of both rhythm and lead players alike for its lightweight design, perfect balance, and roaring sound. Fans of the Epiphone Coronet include legends Paul Weller, Jimi Hendrix, Pete Doherty, Kurt Cobain, and Del Shannon who used an Epiphone Coronet on his rock and roll classic, "Runaway."
Epiphone fans have been waiting a long time for a thoroughly researched history of Epiphone. And now, just in time for the House of Stathopoulo's 140th anniversary, American guitar expert Walter Carter has published The Epiphone Guitar Book, A Complete History of Epiphone Guitars.
The richly illustrated 147-page history follows Epiphone through the jazz era in New York, the move to Kalamazoo, Michigan, and the modern era including the move to Epiphone's new headquarters in Nashville. And, of course, Les Paul, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Band, Marcus Henderson, Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance and many other great artists are included in the story as well.
Carter's previous works include The Gibson Electric Guitar Book and Gibson Guitars: 100 Years of an American Icon. Carter also served as the historian for Gibson Guitars.

I believe so. I think though the oldest emulsion sill manufactured would have to be Plus-X or Tri-X, but those have been changed.
If you move the question to B&W it's probably Pan F, which pre-dates Plus-X & Tri-X although all have changed.

So why still make it at all, especially in two lesser-used sizes, i.e. 120 and bulk, just for one country?
I can understand why the same film would need different packing and promotions for sale in different countries/markets...that wouldn't be too costly...but, given the size and cost of master rolls, it still seems odd to make a single distinct emulsion for what would apparently be very small sales.
(I used to like EPR in the late 1990's...don't remember it as being that awful, more like a predecessor of EPP?)
Maybe Kodak had just made a coating before the announcement and it sold best in Japan so they sold the 120 there......
Hi, all. I spoke with Dirk at japanexposures.com, and he said that EPP is still available there. He recently put some on the website. As for EPR, he said he only seems to be able to get it in 120.

From Tips and Steps
Count Out Change
- When the customer hands you a bill (i.e. $10.00), say to yourself what the purchase price is out of the bill (i.e. $5.22 out of $10.00).
- Starting with pennies, count out enough change to get to the next coin or bill size.
- Example: $5.22 out of $10.00.
Counting out pennies: $5.23... $5.24... $5.25...
Counting out quarters: $5.50... $5.75... $6.00...
- Example: $5.22 out of $10.00.
- You will continue giving change for the $10.00 by next using dollar bills. "Counting out dollar bills:" $7.00... $8.00... $9.00... $10.00
- If necessary, you will use the next bill size to continue giving change until you reach the bill amount.(i.e. if the bill amount was $5.22 and they gave you $20 to pay).
- Practice this by getting a lot of pennies, nickels, dimes and use monopoly money if you do not have bills. Then make believe you are buying for different amounts, and count backwards, until you learn to do this easily and fast.
- It is a good idea to place the bill you receive on top of the register or on any surface instead of placing it straight into the till. This might save you from embarrassment or disputes in case you are distracted and forget what the customer gave you.

John 5 has seen almost everything in Rock music. He's toured with David Lee Roth, Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie (with whom he's currently rockin') and been credited on songs from a wide range of artists — from Saliva to Salt n Pepa to k.d. lang to an upcoming collaboration with Rod Stewart. The guitarist has gained the reputation as a musical genius and one of the most action-packed guitarists in the world. He has just released his sixth solo album, God Told Me To, which mixes acoustic Spanish guitar along with Metal riffs.
CityBeat caught up with the guitar player to talk about the new album and some of the darker aspects of what goes into his writing, as well as the lighter aspects help put him to sleep every night. John 5 will take the stage with headliner Rob Zombie this Sunday at Rock on the Range in Columbus.
CityBeat: Can you tell us about the name of your album, God Told Me To?
John 5: The name, it is funny because … I am from Michigan, I am from Grosse Pointe. I was upper class growing up there. I was brought up in a really nice environment and home and I remember the night before I was leaving for California to really give it my shot saying, "I am going to try this. I am going to try to be this musician type of thing." I remember I was saying my little prayer. I never wished to be a "rock star." I just wanted to be a working musician. My dreams didn't even go past a session player or a working musician. It was too far beyond my dreams. That's kind of what the title means, that kind of thing, but also you can look at in the negative way, like when someone does a horrific murder, they always say, "Oh, God told me to."
CB: I have read a lot of discussion in your recent interviews about serial killers and even the song "Night Stalker" being written about Richard Ramirez. Do you have an interest in serial killers and the history and stories behind them?
J5: I think it is interesting to me about how the mind works and how someone is wired, how their mind works, how it is completely OK to do these things, which I could never even think of doing something like that. It was always so interesting to read about this or watch documentaries. It is so odd for something like that to happen, so I have always had this little fascination with it — not that I am pro-for that kind of thing or anything but it is just very interesting to see something like that.
CB: I got a copy of the album and have been listening to it today. I love the acoustic Spanish-style versions on some of the songs. I know you are a lifelong learner. Did you take specific lessons around Flamenco or Spanish-style guitar lessons?
J5: Yes, I have always tried to learn, it is what keeps me sane. I love to learn and I started doing a lot of studying of Spanish-style music and really started getting into it and how it is just a completely different form of guitar playing. It is just like if you started speaking in a different language like Japanese or something. It is something that you have to study and work at a lot. That is what I enjoy because I love the guitar so much. Yes, I did a lot of studying and research on that.
CB: What current music is inspiring me right now?
J5: What current music is inspiring? You know what, and this will be a surprise, but I usually am very honest. I have had a little epiphany and this is very shocking. I was watching some movie or something like that and a N.W.A. song was on and I am no fan of Rap music, I really am not because I like the guitar. So I heard this N.W.A. song, I think it was "Gangsta Gangsta," and I was like, "This is really, really, really good." It was eye-opening to me and I appreciate it now. I was pretty taken back by it. I would have to say N.W.A. (is a current inspiration), which I can't believe I am saying but it is the truth.
CB: There are a lot of bands right now collaborating outside their genres. Korn has collaborated with Skrillex and trying to create a lot of different sounds which would traditionally maybe not be in Metal music.
J5: Sure, and I think it is very important for that to happen because of the fact music has to always evolve and if it doesn't, it has failed. It is good that it is evolving.
As Thursday began, we heard the tragic news of two people from the Tristate who were killed in an automobile accident on their way to the festival. (Five others were injured in the same crash.)
All told, Bonnaroo attendees and staff number close to 90,000 souls during peak hours. For this long weekend in June Manchester becomes the seventh largest city in Tennessee, with births and deaths on-site like one would expect in a small city over the course of any 96-hour span.
On a brighter note, this year's festival kicked off with a young couple tying the knot under the multi colored arch at Bonnaroo entrance.
In the late afternoon I wandered through Centeroo, perusing the various vendors' booths. Corporate sponsors abound, but non-profits and independent artisans dominate the Bonnaroo bazaar.
In the shadow of a Ferris wheel and psychedelic light tower a giant throng gathered in and around the area surrounding the Other Tent to greet Cincinnati's pure Pop pride and joy Walk The Moon.
Technical glitches delayed the start of their set but they had the crowd bouncing, clapping, singing along and eating out of their hands from the minute they took the stage.
WTM singer Nicholas Petricca shouted, "We're called Walk The Moon! We're from Ohio!" and the crowd roared as the band launched into their single "Tightrope." This writer has never seen a larger crowd assembled for a performance in the Other Tent and Petricca's buoyant charm and boundless energy kept the crowd pumped and jumping throughout the bands' entire performance.
Later in That Tent, Father John Misty brought the weird and the beard via his sardonic Folk Rock parables. I half-expected the depth and humor of FJM's material to sail over the heads of most Bonnaroovians but I was pleasantly surprised to hear many people singing along. A huge fan of his new Fear Fun album, I think I would have driven all the way to Tennessee just to hear Misty sing "Only Son Of The Ladiesman". He didn't make me wait long, playing it in the No. 2 slot.
(Walk the Moon hotos by Chuck Madden)
OK, so which Babylonian weather deity did we collectively blow like a $5 crack whore to assure us of an entire weekend without getting firehosed by the kind of precipitation generally associated with tropical monsoons? Because I want to get his number in our rolodex for next year. Another absolutely gorgeous night for another spectacular evening of musical diversion and awesomeness. That's right, awesomeness.
It was an eerie evening leading into the MidPoint Music Festival 2010's kick-off night Thursday. A gigantic, gorgeous sunset was soon followed by a huge, neon-lit moonrise, which guided my path down the highway to the festival. Once downtown, the streets resembled their usual non-weekend selves — nearly empty, save a couple of neighborhood locals scrambling about. And, while the threat of rain is usually the weather event MidPointers fear most, tonight's air was dry, humid and record-breaking hot. Who would have thought a music festival on the first weekend of the fall would be met with 95-degree temps (in the daytime, at least)?
Recently, local singer/songwriter Maurice Mattei and his band, The Tempers, celebrated the release of a live album recorded last December at a Christmas show at Covington's Madison Theater. While The Tempers Christmas Show does include a few holiday classics (Lieber & Stoller's "Santa Claus is Back in Town" and Chuck Berry's "Run Rudolph Run"), the bulk of songs are Mattei originals and not exactly of the "Christmas" variety. (Listen to the whole release here.) Still, it's a great release, as the band takes advantage of the live-recording format — the songs exude a palpable, occasionally Punk-like energy. Check out one of those non-holiday tracks, "Made a Mess of It," in music video form below. (Maybe the "Vixen" in the line "Listen to the vixen in the ol' hoosegow/Funny that's the only kinda milk cow" is "Vixen" from Santa's slave-reindeer team?)
The song — which originally appeared on the release The Tempers Perform The Best of Maurice Mattei Volume 3 — was made into a video by Dave Miller from Southern Californian design/illustration company Deluxerider, who has done several clips for Mattei songs, including the Chuck Berry X-mas tune (posted below, as well).
Bret Michaels is a one of a kind crossover superstar who has transformed himself from hard rocker to big partier to reality television star. Best known for his nearly 30 years with rockers Poison (giving us such Rock & Roll staples as "Every Rose Has It's Thorn", "Talk Dirty to Me" and other arena mega hits), in 2010, Michaels' life took a dramatic turn when he was faced with multiple emergency surgeries. The first was to remove his appendix and then a sudden life threatening brain aneurysm led to brain surgery. He bounced back by winning Donald Trump's Celebrity Apprentice, continuing solo music tours across the country, completing a summer tour with Poison and Motley Crue and plotting more television projects.
CityBeat spoke with Michaels this week in advance of his pre-Super Bowl party concert tomorrow in Indianapolis. He performs Friday at 9:30 p.m. in Indianapolis, helping open the Super Bowl Village and get fans in the right spirit for the big game next Sunday. (Friday's concert is free; click here for more info.)
I love the first night of MidPoint; the anticipation, the excitement, the friends, the music, the potential for getting wetter than you've been since the birth experience. It's magic, a sensation perhaps intensified on Thursday, being the first night of the festival's tenth anniversary.
Contemporary Arts Center has officially announced that Patti Smith will perform The Coral Sea with daughter/pianist Jesse Smith on May 17, in connection with her CAC exhibit, also called The Coral Sea, that opens the next day and features work not previously seen in the U.S.
At the concert, Smith will also play selected material from throughout her career.
The CAC website says that "The Coral Sea performance work found its beginnings from Smith's 1997 book of the same name, her requiem to her dear friend Robert Mapplethorpe (who took the cover photo of Smith's debut album, Horses, among his many other accomplishments). With music arranged and performed live by Kevin Shields — of heralded British shoegaze band My Bloody Valentine — two separate performances were held at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall in June 2005 and September 2006. In 2008 those performances were released as a live album."
Mapplethorpe's own posthumous photography retrospective at CAC, 1990's The Perfect Moment, became a major controversy when cultural conservatives led by now-retired Sheriff Simon Leis tried to shut it down for obscenity. In a famous trial, a jury sided with the CAC. The concert venue and ticket information will be announced soon at www.contemporaryartscenter.org.
I first wrote about Smith's art show coming to the CAC in CityBeat last year here.
So this is how the music industry works in the 21st Century: Without a hint of radio support, Angels and Airwaves (AVA) with opening act Say Anything got 1,500 faithful fans to show up for a Rock & Roll show here in Cincinnati.
Thank you, Mr. Internet.

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Tyler Bozak scored the game-winner with 3:09 left in overtime, as the Toronto Maple Leafs spoiled Martin St. Louis' New York Rangers debut with a 3-2 win on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden.
Bozak, who opened the scoring with a successful penalty shot in the second, accepted a blind backhand feed from Phil Kessel behind the net and elevated the disc over Henrik Lundqvist from the doorstep to send the Leafs to their first victory since the Olympic break.
Nazem Kadri netted Toronto's other goal, while Jonathan Bernier registered 35 saves for the Leafs, who leapfrogged the idle Tampa Bay Lightning for third place in the Atlantic Division.
Though they were idle on the schedule, the Lightning played a major role in Wednesday's trade deadline, sending St. Louis, their leading scorer, to New York in exchange for Rangers captain Ryan Callahan, a first-round draft pick in 2015 and a conditional second-round choice in 2014.
St. Louis finished with three shots in just over 20 minutes of ice time in his Broadway debut, while Ryan McDonagh and Dominic Moore each registered a short-handed goal for New York, which has lost three straight games.
Lundqvist allowed all three goals on 29 shots in defeat.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

When a director and his young, handsome assistant with pretensions about being 'offbeat' filmmakers are told by a producer that he wants a film about 'love', they squirm. But they have no choice. In their search for the right story, however, they find some of the most remarkable love stories lurking just beneath the ordinariness of their own lives. They zero in on the tragic tale of the neighbourhood lovebirds who are fated to marry other people and lead sepa-rate, lonely lives (The title, in English, is 'If the heart is devoid of love').
On the face of it, the plot is not an extraordinarily unusual one for the romance genre, especially in Bengali cinema. But it is in the way that they treat this age-old love theme that the joint directors are able to introduce a newness. Though the story revolves around the two lovers, they are mere characters in the stories (and film scripts) of other characters in the film. The strength of the film is a compelling story brought to life by good acting. And generous doses of humour. But ultimately, it's a simple story about love. First love. Lost love. Unrequited love. Unconditional love. The joy of love. The pain of love. Different faces, and phases, of the same love.

Maybe There's Still Hope
Just because they're young doesn't mean they don't have a passion for flight
Most of us gray dogs look at twenty-somethings and snicker when, in actual truth, these three represent a part of their generation that many of us seldom see. I, in fact, almost never see it. But, that's not because it doesn't exist. It's because the way many of our personal worlds are structured, we just don't see many young people. I'm certain that if any of us were closer to something like the EAA's Young Eagle program, our attitudes would be different. Unfortunately, most of what we know about kids their age is what we've learned from watching neighborhood kids or the news, which often isn't good. I can't even rely on observing my friends' kids because I don't have many "civilian," non-aviation friends (as in next to none). So, almost all the kids I know are being brought up in aviation households, and they're undoubtedly a skewed population sample.
My time with the three young students started me looking around at aviation as I made my daily rounds. And, I surprised myself a little. At fly-ins, yes, there was a predominance of gray hair, but it took only a casual perusal of the crowd to realize that there are more youngsters out there than I had thought. Then I began looking at the occupants of the aircraft that pull up alongside me as I'm running up and found that a good percentage of those are youngsters getting training. So, young blood is out there, it's just not as prevalent as we'd like.
We all know student starts are down, and they've been down for what seems like forever. But, they aren't zero. More importantly, I think the quality of those young people who do jump into aviation is higher than at any time since I got into flying in 19mumble-mumble. And, the increasing regulatory complexity and the expense involved in getting into aviation has had a form of Darwinian effect: Only the strong dare apply. Yes, the obstacles do slow growth in numbers, but those who make it through are the better for it, and aviation is getting the cream of the crop.
So, all is not lost. It's just a little slow in coming.

FXStreet (Guatemala) - Analysts at Rabobank explained that with it's late July decision to taper by a further UDS10bn, the US Federal Reserve is now just two further meetings (September 17 and October 29) away from removing QE3, a bond-buying scheme that has been a key feature of global markets since November 2008.
Key Quotes:
"At the same time, the ECB still appears extremely reticent to engage in similar extraordinary monetary stimulus; indeed, recent weakness in USD/EUR is likely to offer it further encouragement in postponing the decision over the potential start date of any "QE-CB".
"With the BOE also having long finished its round of Gilt purchases, that will leave only the BOJ as provider of extreme, direct monetary stimulus to the global economy. In that light it is worth examining the Japanese QE experience in some detail".
