Time Out's tribute to Harold Pinter
Harold Pinter died on Christmas Eve after a long illness. The Nobel Prizewinner was a titanic figure in theatre, a man of integrity who was not afraid to speak his mind. The Londoner appeared numerous times in Time Out's pages, so here we pay tribute to his remarkable legacy
There was a traditional game to be played whenever a new production of a Harold Pinter was announced. The PR would ring up and ask if we were interested in covering it and I or one of my predecessors would instantly say we would love to talk to the playwright. 'No, no,' the response would invariably be, 'he's not doing any interviews.' Then, in 1993, just after Pinter's first new play for 15 years, 'Moonlight', had opened at the Almeida and as his production of David Mamet's controversial attack on political correctness, 'Oleanna', was moving into the West End, our long campaign paid off. We were told that Pinter would speak to Steve Grant, a fellow lover of cricket, whose enthusiasm for theatre had been inspired by listening to Pinter plays on the radio, and whose treasured possession was a well-worn LP of 'The Caretaker' with Donald Pleasence.
At one point during the long interview, they stood in Pinter's lavatory studying the pictures on the wall, which included a painting of Sir Len Hutton, Ashes hero and Pinter's favourite cricketer; a photograph from the mid-'60s when Pinter had 'The Caretaker' and 'The Homecoming' playing simultaneously at theatres across Broadway. And, smack over the seat, a poster: a commemorative poem by John Berger sitting underneath a photograph of one-time Socialist Chilean Defence Minister, Orlando Letelier, tortured, exiled and car-bombed in Washington DC in 1976. Cricket. Theatre. Politics. It was all there.
It was typical of Pinter that once he had agreed to talk he was generous with his time. When Grant asked Pinter whether Mamet's pauses differed from his own, the man who famously once told an actor he was playing a two dot pause when the text called for three, replied 'Well, he certainly comes to a dead halt in his own inimitable way. I think that every pause is different anyway, in any play, different from that which follows it and that which precedes it.'
Mamet was one of many playwrights who Pinter went out of his way to help. When the American sent him a copy of 'Glengarry Glen Ross' asking for comments, Pinter was so impressed that he passed it on to the National Theatre and was rewarded with a dedication in the published version. He came to the defence of Sarah Kane when the Royal Court premiere of her play 'Blasted' was attacked as 'a disgusting feast of filth' on the front page of the Daily Mail. He also had a strange affection for the American political playwright Donald Freed, whose plays were surely only staged here because Pinter was prepared to direct them.
Many years later, our film editor, Dave Calhoun, talked to him in connection with 'Sleuth' for which he wrote the film script in 2007. By then Pinter had been diagnosed with cancer and, more happily, awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. At the interview, he was in good form and, focussing on his career in film rather than theatre, was happy to describe his relationship with Joseph Losey with whom he made his best films and to talk about those directors such as Buñuel, Carné and Cocteau who excited him in his youth.
I never interviewed Pinter but my chance to meet him came when he won the Critics' Circle Award in 1999. As I was then about to become the Circle's next President, I sat on the same table as Pinter and his wife, the historian Antonia Fraser. Beforehand, I confessed to being nervous to Pinter's biographer and The Guardian critic, Michael Billington, who unexpectedly reassured me that Pinter was 'a pussy cat'. I wouldn't go that far – there was a definite frisson when I blurted out some nonsense when we were introduced – but the mood was decidedly jolly and memorable for me not least because he crackled with a prickly, sexy energy. No wonder all the actresses who appeared in his plays adored him so much. Pinter was very alive to the irony of being given an award by a bunch of critics, a profession that had not always been the first to appreciate his work.
He inevitably told the story of 'The Birthday Party' and of how the reviews of the first production at the Lyric Hammersmith were so bad that the play was taken off on the first Saturday. But he gave full credit to Harold Hobson whose admiring review appeared the following morning with the words 'The most original, disturbing and arresting talent in theatrical London'. Until Hobson came out, Pinter said, he had pretty well decided to give up the theatre altogether. If that had happened, we might today be mourning Pinter the novelist and poet rather than Pinter the playwright.
After 'Moonlight' in 1993 came a number of short new plays including 'Party Time', 'Celebration' and 'Ashes to Ashes'. Some of the credit for this renewed energy should go to Jonathan Kent and Ian McDiarmid who during their time running the Almeida Theatre presented more plays by Pinter than any other playwright including the first London revivals of 'Betrayal' and 'No Man's Land'. They persuaded Pinter, who was no mean actor, to play Hirst in the latter, the part currently being played in the West End by Michael Gambon. It was during the run of 'No Man's Land' that Pinter had a dream that led to the writing of 'Moonlight'.
Reviewing these later plays always struck me as a minefield. It was hard to go to a Pinter premiere with an uncluttered mind. On the one hand, he was constantly attacked by the likes of the Daily Mail (its nasty obituary of the playwright runs true to form). It didn't like his outspoken criticism of American foreign policy and he was dismissed as a Champagne socialist who lived in Holland Park and was married to the upper-class Antonia Fraser. On the other hand, the atmosphere in the audience at a Pinter opening could be excessively reverential, fatally bringing out the cynicism in a journalist. Some time needs to elapse before we can get the measure of the later work, although 'Party Time' in which people drink and make small talk ('How is your regime?' takes on a sinister double meaning) as others are beaten up outside, is highly pertinent to our times.
But there can be little doubt about the classic status of the older plays such as 'The Homecoming', 'The Caretaker', 'Old Times', 'Betrayal' and 'No Man's Land' and it's pleasing that the playwright lived to see them revived, rediscovered and given their due. If the women sometimes seem to be made up of little more than feline sexuality, the subjects of territory, insecurity, time and memory are all fascinatingly explored in a spare dialogue that is both everyday and poetic.
For Londoners, many of these plays also recall the city of Pinter's youth with its coffee shops, cinema and jazz clubs and smoky pubs. He was brought up in a time when Jews were attacked in the East End by Mosley's black shirts. He was evacuated during the War and returned home in time to experience the Blitz. No wonder he was determined to use his talent and authority to fight tyranny wherever he saw it. Even though I didn't always agree with him – how could he have supported Milosevic? – I hope that others will be inspired to take his place as a campaigner. As a playwright, of course, he was unique and can never be replaced.
Pinter in Time Out
'I can't be sacked, you see, because I haven't got a job. Therefore, I'll continue to say whatever I like.' 1993
'I believe the United States is a truly monstrous force in the world, now off the leash for obvious reasons.' 1993
'To say that I've been doing fuck-all for 15 years is a slight exaggeration.' 1993
'Hollywood, mainly, is a kind of shithouse. But out of this shithouse, they've produced the most surprising films.' 2007
'In the '80s we set up a group of pretty intelligent people who wanted to discuss what was going on in this country. That's all! And people found it absolutely disgusting! Also they found it laughable that intelligent people could meet and try to talk about the society in which they live. I think that, perhaps, there's a change because I have to tell you that since I made that Nobel speech, I received thousands of letters, and lots of them from Americans by the way.' 2007

Contents / Notes
|Summary, etc.:
| "Thanks to Connor, Lev, and Risa, and their high-profile revolt at Happy Jack Harvest Camp, people can no longer turn a blind eye to unwinding. Ridding society of troublesome teens and, in the same stroke, providing much-needed tissues for transplant might be convenient, but its morality has finally been brought into question. However, unwinding has become big business, and there are powerful political and corporate interests that want to see it not only continue, but expand, allowing the unwinding of prisoners and the impoverished. Cam is a teen who does not exist. He is made entirely out of the parts of other unwinds. Cam, a 21st century Frankenstein, struggles with a search for identity and meaning, as well as the concept of his own soul, if indeed a rewound being can have one. When a sadistic bounty hunter who takes "trophies" from the unwinds he captures starts to pursue Connor, Risa and Lev, Cam finds his fate inextricably bound with theirs"-- Provided by publisher.

Hi all,until now we have in our company been using a common .olb file for about 15 different schematic designers. We have had some problems with this. It seems like the write protect handling is not good enough so sometimes two users have been able to access it simultaneously which results in lost work etc.
Another problem is when closing a schematic design with the library opened in the library tab. Then this project will keep a link to the .olb file and then the user accidentally opens the library when opening the project at a later stage.
All these problems "forces" the designers to use their own local library.Then we end up with a mess in the library references in the design cache.
At our site all users har write access to the file. We have tried to limit the write access to only two users, but it seems like Orcad removes the restrictions when saving the lib.So in general it seems to be hard to make this work in a multiuser environment. So I would like to hear from other persons with the same setup. What are your experiences? What do you do to make the library access safe?Any thoughts around this issue wold be great to hear!Going over to CIS is not an option right now, but we are currently moving to Orcad 16.6. Would this change anything when it comes to this issue?Thanks!
OrCAD Capture has two categories of libraries, Project Libraries, added to the project manager window, are considered to be specific to that project and are opened and locked when the associated project is opened; and Global libraries, added through Place>Part, Add Library, these are not considered to be specific to the project are are therefore not locked when any associated projects are opened <- this is the library configuration that you need to share a common library, or libraries, between multiple users.
The library configuration has been this way since DSN file locking was introduced somewhen about the 10.x versions.
In reply to oldmouldy:
In reply to Cantstandya:
If a Global Library is opened for editing, it will be locked for writing by all other users but "all" users will be able to read the library. Otherwise this would "pretty much" cripple using Global libraries to any reasonable extent. There is a chance in this scenario that a user will be able to place an "outdated" part, CIS has an extended preference to check for this.
I don't think that it is possible for any version to save a modified OLB file back to a "read-only" location.

Why? Really.
Sunday, May 04, 2014
Today I'll count my calories, get in 30 minutes of exercise, and use a short walk around our block when the kids get to me.
I have to find a balance. I get uncomfortable, sort of freaked out, by looking good and attracting male attention. I need to work on that piece. I don't have to date. I don't. It's a great feeling to be able to move freely, to have body confidence. Strength, power. I deserve those feelings. I'm worthy.
It feels like it comes down to feeling at fault for being victimized. I know that's total bs when it comes to being a child victim. The realities are complicated. I cared for the man as a father. Wanted positive attention and affection. I got plenty of negative scary attention like the other kids. Yelling, hitting, hurtful words. It was a scary environment. Mom's state of mind didn't help, but of course she was in victim mode as well. The point is, I didn't want the bad attention, feared and hated it.
I'm not mom. As an adult, it took me awhile, but I got out and didn't go back. We're not living a comfortable life financially, and that gets to me. But it's a price to be paid for living on our own. And we are so much better off than others. I don't handle my finances well because I feel guilty about putting the kids in this situation. But, we are so much better off. No violence or fear in this home.
There is no violence or fear in this home. That's what my goal has been. It's an important thing to me. The kids don't know it. They haven't lived the fear, and I'm glad for that. But acknowledging it means I can start letting go of the grief and guilt.
We're not affluent. I didn't provide the house with the yard and the tree house. My biggest fault is feeling guilty about that and trying to make it up to them. They get something so many kids don't, safety. Yes, there are safe kids, loved kids, fortunate kids. But I needed to keep them safe in a way that made sense to me.
And I did that. We have other challenges. The kids will probably spend their adulthoods avoiding the mistakes I made. But they grew up loved. And safe from abusers.
So let's celebrate that. I'll celebrate that. I'm a good mom in the way that mattered to me. It took so much energy. Really. I think partly because I wasn't always conscious of what I was doing. So, anytime I got close to wanting to date, allowing a man into our lives, there was an undercurrent that I wasn't even aware was influencing me. If I let a man in, he might fool me and end up being bad, hurt the kids. So I couldn't. How would I know if he'd be good or bad? I made mistakes with previous relationships. I could be fooled.
And part of me wanted to date, to have care and sex and the possibility of a loving companion. I've missed that. I mourn the future without the comfort of a love who could accept me as the aging woman I am, warts and all.
That's why I've been confused about my feelings about my ex. He was my adult abuser. And I loved him, completely, deeply. I still feel that love. Do I feel it because I'm still confusing abuse with love? Good question. Do I feel it because we're connected by first love, by a true connection? I have no doubt he would dominate me again. I'd be angry and miserable by the conflict. Tenderness and abuse. Such a horrible potent combination. He rejected me. He was cruel, comparing me to other lovers, rejecting me when I put on weight.
Funny. Weight that put distance between us and in a way, protected me from him. As it protects me from other men.
Do I need that protection? If I maintain awareness, I won't go back to my ex. If I maintain awareness, can I protect myself from other male abusers?
I didn't protect myself from my last boss. Different relationship as he was my boss, but he was so like my ex. Unpredictable, kind, mean, controlling.
I have to be stronger, physically as it is symbolic as well as tangible, financially, as I can't lean on a man for that, it truly puts me in a position of weakness. And I have to be strong emotionally, aware of what I feel and how it influences my behavior.
To start, I need to feel better, stronger, physically. That is a huge part of me. I was onto something when I wanted to build strength to change my self perception from victim to capable. So that's the first thing.
I don't have to date as I thin down. I don't trust myself to make good choices yet. That's OK.
If I ever go there again, I want tenderness and compassion.
But first, I need to be tender and compassionate with myself.

7 Personal Branding Lessons You Learn by Falling in Love
Feb 14th
By Dr. Amit Nagpal, {grow} Community Member
The first guideline I share with a new client is, "You don't build a personal brand. People do, when they see excellence & have pride in associating with you." So you must, "Enlarge as a human being, Excel as a social media being and Evolve as a personal brand."
Here are seven lessons, you learn by falling in love:
Lesson 1) Great relationships and brands are built by sharing and caring
Love and personal branding, both are primarily about sharing and caring. There would be good and not so good phases for sure but you must keep making genuine attempt to fill the emotional and ego tanks of the other. Keep in mind, selfishness is our default setting but we have been 'Empowered' to change the settings.
Lesson 2) Collaborative mindset
Collaboration and partnerships can never happen in the 'I, Me, Mine' mode, be it love or personal branding. It can only happen by shifting to, 'You, We, and Us' mode. Personal Branding starts with an honest attempt to find the needs of your community members and then looking for opportunities to collaborate. Human needs are always changing, so you must have a good understanding of human psychology to keep a track of changing needs.
Lesson 3) Help people grow
You must help your beloved one / your audience in personal/professional growth. Enlarge and nurture your network and you will end up getting enlarged yourself over a period of time. Someone has rightly said, "Appreciation and encouragement are vitamins of the soul." I always emphasize, "People believe it when someone else is appreciating you and God comes to your rescue when someone else is praying for you." Remember to talk passionately about others and humbly about self.
Lesson 4) Don't let communication gaps creep in
Constant and consistent communication is a must for both love and branding. Even God had to communicate her message through epics, religious books and inspired messages to her channels. Personal Branding is not a substitute for quality, but is rather a tool to communicate your quality as a person-your knowledge, skills and attitude (KSA). So first develop your KSAs and then demonstrate them wisely.
Lesson 5) Commitment must be complete
There is a huge difference between having an interest and having a commitment, be it passionate love or passionate branding. If a successful relationship demands two people who are completely committed to each other, a successful personal brand also demands complete commitment to your profession. In simple words, "If there is a will, you will, if there is half-will, you never will."
Lesson 6) I Change, Everything Changes
Once I had posted on Facebook, "With a hammer and a chisel, he was busy sculpting the world, but a beautiful statue emerged, when he started sculpting himself." Blame game helps, neither in love nor in personal branding. Every time something goes wrong, look within, give people a benefit of doubt and stay focused on the positive side of people. And if you may have chosen an incompatible life partner or a wrong profession, then get out of it, ASAP without wasting time.
Lesson 7) Passion is necessary
If Love and Personal Branding were books, then 'Deepest Passion' would be the Prologue and 'Joy' would be the Epilogue. Love and branding can start with falling in love but the challenge is all about staying in love. Your friends/followers/connections must stay in love with you and your core values to support you in your journey. In fact, you can continue to offer value as a lover or brand, only if your passion is deep and inexhaustible.
The Final Word
Remember, Personal Branding is not about creating a larger than life image; it is about aspiring to be as beautiful and large as life is.

Sued in Six Seconds: Avoiding the Entanglements of Twitter's Vine
Feb 13th
By Kerry Gorgone, Contributing {grow} Columnist
Six seconds (or six and a half, for the purists among us) hardly seems long enough to convey anything of substance, and yet Vine — Twitter's new video sharing service — is catching on fast. Maybe it's not surprising. Six seconds of Super Bowl advertising time would cost $800,000, so clearly time is valuable!
For those who haven't tried it yet, Vine enables users to capture six seconds of live video (uploading from the camera roll is not allowed): no editing, no adding titles or a soundtrack, just sharing.
At first, I didn't see the point of the service, but Ann Handley convinced me it was worth trying, and as soon as I did, it captured my attention. I had been focused on seconds, rather than moments, and each moment offers endless possibilities.
Vine offers marketers a chance to engage their prospects in a fun new way, but there's also the risk of legal liability anytime you upload content to a social network. Here are some tips on how to Vine responsibly.
- Create your own content. Vine's requirements make this rule relatively easy to obey, but some people "vine" clips of movies they're watching or pieces of art they're viewing at a museum. Showing other people's copyrighted works (even for six seconds or less) could result in a lawsuit, although a takedown notice is more likely. Not worth it: you can come up with six seconds of video content.
- Pay attention to sound as well as video. It's easy to focus on the visual element, but listen while you record. Are you picking up snippets of highly personal conversations, or copyrighted music? The best course of action is to create Vine videos in a controlled environment, so you can avoid unintentionally capturing sensitive information or copyrighted audio works.
- Vine strangers (especially children) with caution. For companies especially, this is important: model releases are required when using someone's likeness for marketing, whether you're using still images, full-length videos, or six-second Vines. Consumer users should try and frame their Vine videos so that only consenting adults are recognizable.Parents can show their own children, if they choose, but be sensitive to child protection laws: an innocent bath-time video could be construed as child pornography under federal law.
- Avoid showing private information about others. This tip goes more to good manners than legal obligation, but it is possible to create a video that would constitute invasion of privacy under many states' laws.Be considerate: don't shoot through people's windows (obviously), but also take care not to capture people's identifying information, or conversations in which people discuss medical treatment or other sensitive matters.
- Keep it positive. Don't depict others in a misleading or negative light, or you might find yourself sued for defamation. Truth is a defense, and I fully support freedom of speech, but you only get to assert a defense once you've been sued. Being sued is costly and inconvenient: in most instances, the satisfaction of posting something nasty evaporates when the summons arrives.
- Think before showing trademarks. Generally speaking, it's fine to show a trademark in a non-commercial video so long as the viewer won't be confused into thinking that the trademark owner endorses your content (or that you are the trademark owner).Companies and brands using Vine need to be more scrupulous about showing others' trademarks. If a company were to take issue with how their brand or product was depicted, you could find yourself involved in some legal wrangling involving demand letters or worse.Sometimes, a brand or label is the entire point of your video, but the safest course of action is to keep things generic.
- Don't Drive and Vine!
Like Pinterest, Instagram and YouTube, Vine gives marketers access to a powerful visual medium that people love using, but any new medium poses some risk. Following these simple rules will help to keep you out of the legal jungle.

One thousand posts. No navel gazing.
Feb 12th
This is my 1,000th post on {grow}.
So I wondered … what should I do to commemorate this? Should I give away presents like Oprah? Should I honor my community in some way? Should I just ignore it and carry on?
I asked some of my friends on Facebook and the general consensus was that they wanted me to write a reflective piece on what I have learned, my expectations when I wrote post number one, and the challenges of success.
I started answering these questions a dozen times but it just seemed like a bunch of self-centered navel gazing so I quit. Maybe I'll get to these subjects another time but I think the focus today needs to be placed on the {grow} community. You see, it takes a lot of work to create that many blog posts, but it would not be successful without you.
In my brief period of {grow} nostalgia (about an hour!), I looked down the list of subscribers and wanted to find the people who have subscribed to my blog for the longest period of time. Who was here first? Who has stuck with me the longest?
This was a revealing exercise and a lesson in building a blog community. The people who were there at the beginning are still there today. In fact. we're all good friends! We were "baby bloggers" together and went out of our way to support each other when the rest of the world did not seem to be listening.
I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate 1,000 blog posts by honoring the people who encouraged me and supported me from the very beginning. Here are the original 10 {grow} readers, and here are their stories. And at the end … yes … I will give away some prizes : )
John Bottom — John is a director at the Base One Marketing Agency in London. When I was just starting out, he was already a big deal with a huge, lively following and wonderfully insightful blog posts. I clung to John as an example of how I needed to operate on the social web — in a caring, classy, and responsive way. He was the first social media celebrity to begin tweeting my blog posts and I am forever grateful for that. I had the chance to meet John in London in 2012, which was quite a thrill.
Jayme Soulati — Jayme is a PR and communications dynamo from Ohio and one of my first Twitter friends. I will take credit for being the one to beg Jayme to begin her blog and once she started she found her great love. I remember her telling me that blogging was now the favorite part of her job. She stood by me in the early days and I had tears in my eyes when I met her for the first time at Social Slam in 2010. In fact, the day before the event a speaker cancelled and she graciously filled in!
Jenn Whinnem — Jenn is a passionate young woman and her firey posts caught my attention back in 2009. We collaborated on a couple of projects and she taught me a lesson that resulted in one of the the most humbling and emotional blog posts I've ever written: "Social Media and the Big Conversation Fail." She has been a wonderful supporter and has contributed many amazing comments to the community!
Jon Buscall — An intellect with the heart of an artist, Jon and I are social media soul mates. We have similar backgrounds and hold many of the same values when it comes to teaching and working on the web. I think he holds the record for the most guest posts on {grow} (aside from the paid regular bloggers). When I visited Stockholm, I spent a cafe day with Jon. And that, my friends is the best part of social media.
Kristen Daukas – One of the most fun and big-hearted professionals I know. Mom, entrepreneur, ass-kicker. We have collaborated in a number of ways but the most fun was speaking at her awesome Converge South conference in North Carolina. It was one of my very first keynote speeches. If you look really closely, Kristen's picture is in the Tao of Twitter.
Steve Dodd – Nobody has commented more often that Steve. He has been the rock of this community since day one. I really think he was the first one to see the potential of what was happening on {grow} and I am so indebted to him for his continuous encouragement. He is the only person among "the originals" I have not met, but not for lack of trying!
Amy Howell – When I started exploring Twitter, it was hard to miss Amy since most tweets ended with !!!!!!! This became known as the Exclamy style of tweeting. She has been a tireless and and passionate supporter of the blog … and really everything I do. Amy has been a trusted adviser and friend from the beginning. She is a super-connector who has been featured in two of my books, and introduced me to so many wonderful colleagues like Anne Gallaher, Glen Gilmore, and Kent Huffman. And she is going to be the emcee for Social Slam this year!
Billy Mitchell – A few years ago, Billy had a strange strategy for getting attention. His avatar featured him posing with this huge fish. He kept popping up everywhere and you couldn't help but notice this guy with the fish. We started connecting over Twitter and the blog and soon became close friends. We have collaborated on many projects and his ability to spin a tale and the fact that he understands my jokes makes him my favorite business partner. His B2B Agency MLT Creative is simply an inspiration.
Kimmo Linkama – How cool is it that, through Twitter, I have a great friend in Estonia? Kimmo Linkama is the first person I ever interviewed on {grow} and the only person I have interviewed twice, primarily because he has a such a musical name. Estonia is an awesome place with a progressive economy and Kimmo is leading the B2B marketing charge in the region. In this photo, I am visiting with Kimmo in Estonia's capital of Talinn.
Michelle Chmielewski — Of all the people I have met, the story of how I connected with Michelle is probably my favorite, and a highlight of the The Tao of Twitter and many of my classes. I recognized Michelle's simply brilliant talent when she was a grad student and she has gone on to be a bright star on the European marketing scene. Some of her videos have had more than a million YouTube views. I know talent when I see it! I met Michelle in real life in Paris in 2011 and we continue to support each other whenever we can.
Here's the lesson threaded through all these little stories. Many beginning bloggers think they will hit it big by getting noticed by an A-Lister. They long for that one tweet of a blog post that will propel them to the big time. It does not work like that, and in fact there are no shortcuts to social media success.
Don't wait for lightning to strike. Build your own tribe. Find your own little group of people who love you for who you are, support each other, and build from there. It's hard to say how big my tribe is today but it all started with these 10 people. And no matter what happens to me or the blog, I know those folks — and now dozens of others I have met along the way — will still be my friends. Perhaps this is the year you and I will meet, too!
Thank you, thank you, thank you one and all for reading my blog.
Now, on to the prizes!
I would like to give everyone a chance to celebrate and participate in this 1,000 post milestone, so I'm giving away:
- Five copies of Return On Influence (one copy x five winners)
- Five copies of The Tao of Twitter (one copy x five winners)
- Five copies of Born to Blog (a new book I have not even announced yet!)
- A chance to write your own guest post on {grow}.
- A free one-hour phone consulting session on any marketing topic of your choice (or we can just hang out!)
- Five free subscriptions to my social media tutorial video series "Social Media from Scratch."
- Five free tickets to Social Slam (America's finest social media conference April 5 in Knoxville – one ticket x five winners)
Here's how the drawing works. Send me ONE email at info at businessesGROW.com. Include the ONE prize you want to try to win in the subject line and your physical mailing address in the body of the email. At the end of February, I will have an independent CPA randomly select from the submissions and award the prizes to the winners. There will be a lot of submissions so I can't let everybody know if you lose, but I will let you know March 01, 2012 if you win.
The train is leaving the station again. Next stop … 2,000 posts!

"THE LAND AND PEOPLE OF BALUCHISTAN" Balochistan by ahmadbaloch
Balochistan Travel Guide: 40 reviews and 141 photos
In spite of the intrinsic hostility of its landscape and climate, archaeological discoveries have confirmed that Baluchistan was already inhabited in the Stone Age, and the important neolithic site at Mehrgarh is the earliest (7000-3000 B.C.) on the subcontinent. Until its overthrow by Alexander the Great, Baluchistan was part of the Persian Empire, whose records refer to it as "Maka".
In 325 B.C. Alexander led part of his army back from his Indus campaign to Babylon across the Makran Desert at the cost of terrible suffering and high casualties. Thereafter Baluchistan lay for centuries on the shadowy borderlands of the Zoroastrian rulers of Iran and the local Buddhist and Hindu dynasties of northwestern subcontinent.
Islam was brought to Baluchistan in 711 when Muhammad bin Qasim led the army which was to conquer Sind across the Makran route, but the area was always too remote for firm control to be exerted by any of the later local dynasties. It accordingly receives only very passing mention in the court histories of the time. The connections of the inland areas were variously with Iran, Afghanistan and India, those of coastal Makran rather across the Arabian Sea with Oman and the Gulf.
The name "Baluchistan" only came into existence later with the arrival from Iran of the tribes called Baluch (usually pronounced "Baloch" in Pakistan). Just how and when they arrived remains a matter of hot debate, since the traditional legends of their Middle Eastern origins, supposed to have been in the Aleppo region of Syria have been further confused by cranky theories either that like the Pathans they may descend from the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, or that they originated from Babylon, since "Baluch" is phonetically similar to the names of the god Baal or the Babylonian ruler Belos.
Better evidence is suggested by the Baluchi language which beIongs to the same Iranian group of Indo-European as Persian and Kurdish. This suggests that the Baluch originated from the area of the Caspian Sea, making their way gradually across Iran to reach their present homeland in around A.D. 1000, when they are mentioned with the equally warlike Kuch tribes in Firdausi's great Persian epic, the Book of Kings:
Heroic Baluches and Kuches we saw,
Like battling rams all determined on war.
Warlike the history of the Baluch has certainly always been. As the last to arrive of the major ethnic groups of Pakistan they were faced with the need to displace the peoples already settled in Baluchistan. Some they more or less successfully subjugated or assimilated, like the Meds of Makran and other now subordinate groups. From others they faced a greater challenge, notably from the Brahui tribes occupying the hills around Kalat.
The origins of the Brahuis are even more puzzling than those of the Baluch, for their language is not Indo-European at all, but belongs to the same Dravidian family as Tamil and the other languages of south India spoken over a thousand miles away. One theory has it that the Brahuis are the last northern survivors of a Dravidian-speaking population which perhaps created the Indus Valley civilisation, but it seems more likely that they too arrived as the result of a long tribal migration, at some earlier date from peninsular India.
As they moved eastwards, the Baluch were initially successful in overcoming the Brahuis. Under Mir Chakar, who established his capital at Sibi in 1487, a great Baluch kingdom briefly came into existence before being destroyed by civil war between Mir Chakar's Rind tribe and the rival Lasharis, whose battles are still celebrated in heroic ballads. Although the Baluch moved forward into Panjab and Sind, the authority of the Moghuls stopped them establishing permanent kingdoms there, although the names of Dera Ghazi Khan in Panjab and Dera Ismail Khan in NWFP are still reminders of the Baluch chiefs who conquered these lands in the 16th century. The Baluch who settled in the plains gradually became largely detribalised, forgetting their native language and increasingly assimilated to the local population, with their tribal origins remaining little more than a proud memory.
In Baluchistan itself, which came only briefly under the authority of the Moghuls, the tables were turned on the Baluch by the Brahuis who succeeded in re-establishing their power in Kalat. Throughout the 18th century, the Khans of Kalat were the dominant local power, with the Baluch tribes settled to the west and to the east of them being forced to acknowledge their suzerainty.
The greatest of the Khans was Mir Nasir Khan (1749-1817), whose military success owed much to the regular organisation of his army, with its separate divisions recruited from the Sarawan and Jhalawan areas which constitute the northern and southern parts of the Brahui homeland. The Khanate of Kalat became the nearest thing there has ever been to an independent Baluchistan. This extended beyond the modern boundaries, since Mir Nasir Khan's authority ran as far as the then insignificant town of Karachi. Although dominated by the Brahuis, they themselves became increasingly "Baluchified". Today, for instance, the Brahui language only keeps the first three of its old Dravidian numbers. From "four" upwards Brahuis count in Baluchi, in which most are anyway bilingual.
With the British expansion into northwestern subcontinent and their disastrous first Afghan war (1839-41), internal power struggles within Kalat prompted the first British military interference, and the signing of a treaty in 1841. The British annexation of Sind in 1843 from the Talpur Mirs, themselves a dynasty of Baluch descent, and the subsequent annexation of Panjab meant that Kalat and the other regions of Baluchistan were now part of the sensitive western borderlands of British India, where the possibility of Russian interference induced a permanent state of imperial neurosis. Although the eastern Baluch tribes were partially pacified by the efforts of Sir Robert Sandeman, it was thought easiest to leave the Khan and his subordinate chiefs in control of most of the rest of Baluchistan.
A further treaty was signed in 1876, which forced the Khan to 'lease" the strategic Quetta region to the British but left him in control of the rest of his territories with the aid of a British minister. Granted the rank of a 19-gun salute to mark the size if not the wealth of Kalat, the Khans were for a while content to pursue the eccentric Iifestyle characteristic of so many south Asian princes of the time. One Khan became legendary as a passionate collector of shoes, and made sure no pair would ever be stolen by locking up all the left shoes in a dungeon below the Fort at Kalat.
With the last ruler of Kalat, Mir Ahmad Yar Khan (1902-79), the Khanate again briefly entered the political arena. Exploiting the opaque clauses of the 1876 treaty, which left some doubt as to just how independent Kalat was supposed to be, he hesitated to join Pakistan in 1947. The brief independence of Kalat finally ended in 1948 when the Khan signed the necessary merger documents, followed by his formal removal from power and the abolition of the state's boundaries in 1955. The present shape of Baluchistan was finally rounded out in 1958 when the Sultan of Oman sold Gwadar, given to one of his ancestors by the Khan of Kalat, back to Pakistan.

Raistlin Majere in Black Robes by MichaelThomWatch
©2011-2016 MichaelThom
Raistlin Majere in the black robes. Dragonlance character and one of my favorite anti-heros. about 8 hours PS5 and Bamboo Tablet
This is the definitive look for Raistlin. Def my fave character in the Dragonlance saga. You nailed it!
I quite like this! And for Raistlin fans that don't know, he makes a cameo or two in the War of Souls trilogy (as his soul though).
That's strange. I though that Raistlin had an evil smile. Why the change?
I got a lot of feedback of people complaining about his smile saying he wouldn't smile that way so I changed it. I dunno.
just started up time of twins, fucking Caramon being drunk destroyed me.
Just reading "war of the twins". Running into this picture was very nice surprise. Thnx !
Thanks, that means a lot to me that I can help visualize Raistlin for readers! I love that series!
Quality:Magic the gathering cards.
Thanks! Would love to do a few magic cards! Trying to work my way into their artists list.
This looks great!
Love it! I just dressed as Raistlin for Halloween.
amazing details *0* you did an awesome job here!!
Hay mi madre! Mira a los ojos! xD Me gusta mucho. You did very well! But I think I shall have nightmares tonight The bracelet is well done! But I do remember that he had a small dagger knife thing bound to one of his wrists with a leather strap... *is detail-oriented* Please make more!
this is really well done, nice work on the colors and shades
I love it! What runes did you use?
Freakin amazing. I'm a huge Raistlin fan, will even name our first born son after him. May I use this as my display pic on Facebook?
Bad to the a$s
I like how you paid attention to his eyes. I've seen a lot of images that forget the hourglasses. Good job!
Thanks! I wouldn't forget that! Raistlin is my favorite fictional character!
Very nice. It looks great.
Wow! Thats soooo amazing!
I won't lie. It's the best Raistlin Picture I have saw. It looks exactly like what i have imagine *-* The best Character i have to say. With Tass of course!
Good job ~
Good job ~
I think you did better on his robes and mage pouches/ingredients than most do. Also, the staff looks better than most make it. Some make it too chunky, which is unrealistic. But, don't forget his staff, the staff of Magius, was a dragon claw. If you went by Stawicki's claw, but kept the rest of what you did, I'd see the most perfect staff concept ever.
One thing I notice that everyone misses is that Raistlin had this epic hidden dagger on his wrist. I've always wanted to see someone do that...

Perkele, this is so great. Dreamy <3
Great Raistlin! Great!
I love this! It's absolutely wonderful.
Love, Raistlin! Good job!

Ok, time for another one of my wonderful suggestions that I never seem to get any positive feedback on xD
I wanted to suggest the addition of a feature to allow certain people to edit your post.
This popped into my mind when I was thinking about how people Co-Hosted Pokemon Clubs if only one person could edit the Club (Yes I know the answer ;p)
So, this is one way this feature could be helpful, for people who Co-Host a club, and they want all the owners to be able to edit the Club Opening Post.
Other than that I'm sure this could come in handy sometime, somewhere, maybe you guys have some ideas on other uses for it, but the
only con
I can see right now is that people might abuse it/be careless and things could get crazy and people get mad cuz such and such changed my thread in a way I don't like...blah...blah...blah, but this can be avoided if you have to get mod approval. I'm not sure if "mod approval needed" is possible, but that would solve the possible whining/problem I quoted earlier.
So guys, please put your thought into this, thanks :3

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D prototype to plastic injection tool? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=57813&th=11808#msg_57813 <![CDATA[So im hoping to have a prototype created with 3d printing in hopes of eventually one day creating a tool for plastic injection molding.
 can anyone lay some knowledge on processes and procedures for typical applications.

 Ive gained much of my interest from www.kickstarter.com as well as the shapeways website. Hoping to have 3d models made in order to start a kickstarter campaign for injection mold tooling.

 anyone walk down this road yet? or might be able to shed some light?

 Thanks

You can even upload your 3D print file for an automated review/feedback before 3D printing. If the design works for injection molding, it will most likely work for 3D printing.

 The main thing for injection molding is the part needs to have fairly consistent thickness throughout, and it needs to be designed for easy extraction from the tool mold.]]> denali3ddesign 2012-12-01T14:47:56-00:00

I didn't think there would be more to say about the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, but, oh, there is.
Once again, the annual electronics trade show feels like the final days of the Roman Empire with the same excess, partying and emptiness.
The industry is working overtime this week to convince the rest of the world that they need to buy a new television, smartphone, washing machine and tablet. The new buzz word is "4K televisions," as reported by the news side's Brier Dudley in Las Vegas, and if you don't want your children touching your iPad 3, here is a a 20-inch Panasonic tablet that runs on Windows software that can take water being poured over it.
To be fair, the more recent conferences have not been as excessive as the ones in the early 2000s. At the 2002 show, Sharp filled a giant glass tank with water in its booth and divers flipped off a springboard into the water every 30 minutes.

What works
Almost everything works very well for me, and runs smooth on and old macbook. There is only two major problems to address.
All you have to do to get it running is: (Note: This is OS X specific)
1) Get winetricks.
2) Execute the following commands:
port install cabextract # Get cabextract however you can you don't have mac ports.
winetricks corefonts
winetricks directplay
winetricks gdiplus
3) To ensure that you don't see a black-screen while launching gunz: Execute winecfg, go to the Graphics tab. Tick "Emulate a virtual desktop", choose a big resolution. (You can also try going full-screen though if it doesn't work you will have to reboot).
4) Download fgunz, execute the installer with wine normally. Install.
5) Launch Launcher.exe in the Gunz executable path with wine.
6) Play GunZ!
What does not
1) Game Configuration Saving Crashes.
If it happens to you too, then get a normal gunz config.xml from google (or if you have a backup config.xml from a Windows install, get it). Place this file in the fgunz installation base path (Usually you should put it in "~/wine/drive_c/Program Files/Freestyle GunZ Version 7/").
After this, adjust your settings in config.xml directly, by modifying it with a text editor, and never modify the settings in-game Some of the values inside this XML could be confusing to some, just try to work your way around it, its intuitive enough. (For example: Take into account if you want to change keys, you have to put the ASCII value of each character).
2) Full-screen did not work for me.
Workaround: Emulate a virtual desktop with Wine. (Don't go full-screen).

Foreign Minister Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett was yesterday presented with the Grand Cross of the Order of the General Liberator of San Martin by the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Argentina Hector Timmerman. In decorating Rodrigues-Birkett with this high order of the Republic of Argentina, Timmerman paid tribute to the consistent friendship which Minister Rodrigues-Birkett and the Government of Guyana have demonstrated to the Government and people of Argentina. Timmerman expressed confidence that both Governments were guided by similar political and democratic ideals and convictions. Photos shows Rodrigues-Birkett speaking after the award.

I really need to learn professional javascript in two days because I am gonna have to hit the ground running (real world project). I have little which can be approximated to no knowledge of JavaScript or website development. Any help would be appreciated greatly.
closed as too broad by deceze, Andrew Arnold, Peter Pei Guo, Magnilex, digitalextremist Jul 14 '15 at 16:16
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Seriously, two days is about enough to get a feel for the basics. It's nowhere near enough time to get to "professional" level (whatever that means exactly). The more experience you have with other languages, the easier it will be, though.
See also Would you recommend starting from HTML5 & CSS3 for beginners? for resources on learning web technologies.
Go through video lectures by Douglas Crockford at http://yuiblog.com/crockford/. You could be able to get rid of some assumptions, misconceptions and pick up some really good concepts in less than 10 hrs of video.
Nevertheless, it is indeed a great place to start.
Don't cram for a programming language, especially learning it professionally, unless you have previous programing experience.
This article is a great source of up to date, modern JavaScript resources: http://blog.reybango.com/2010/12/15/what-to-read-to-get-up-to-speed-in-javascript/
If you need to learn JavaScript, you can follow these courses if you have little previous programming experience. They are interactive and you can code all the examples in the explorer (and they are free).
1 - JavaScript Fundamentals
And finally, a library called jQuery to make a little bit easier JavaScript programming.
3 - jQuery
This won't take you to days, but is a good beginning to be a JavaScripter.
Good luck.

Gorgeous!I am a sucker for beautiful things. It's true. I didn't even need a new flat iron but I bought this one. The packaging caught my eye before anything but once I actually got to hold it and try it out, I was hooked! This isn't just a work of art but a product built with unmatched quality and iconic design. Beautifully designed, fast, rugged, and affordable. I'm glad it's now a part of my arsenal of hair taming tools. Give this one a shot, I still get excited every morning when I turn it on.
