Versatile actor Om Puri, who has maintained just the right balance between commercial and parallel cinema, misses the good content on celluloid and rues that movie-making is now reduced to just money-making.
"The best films were made in the 1950s and 1960s," Puri, who has just won accolades for his work in Hollywood venture "The Hundred Foot Journey", expressed his views during a group interview.
Remembering the era dominated by the likes of Raj Kapoor, Dilip Kumar and Dev Anand, the 63-year-old said: "It was the golden period because subjects were great, nice meaningful songs were there... (but) these days people forget new songs within two months."
"Cinema was more responsible in the 1950s and 1960s. Cinema has become irresponsible today and today movie-making means money-making," he added.
Although he admits that the industry is equipped with better technology, yet stylish and commercial cinema dominates hard-hitting subjects.
"Of course, some good films are being made these days, but I feel hard-hitting films are not really being made, and most of the films are considered in terms of business.
"Stylish films are being made, technically we have developed a lot. But in terms of subject, the depth has been reduced," said the actor, known for his work in films like "Ardh Satya", "Maachis" and "East is East".

Well, my new poster arrived today. Now I need to find a frame.
I've seen this on a couple of blogs and decided to get one myself as I love it.
Accompanying the poster was this information leaflet from Barter Books, Northumberland
"In the spring of 1939, the British Government's Ministry of Information commissioned a series of propaganda posters … intended to offer the public reassurance in the dark days which lay ahead.
"At the end of August 1939, 3 designs went into production with an overall print budget of £20,600 for 5 million posters. 2 of the designs were issued and, of the third design, 2.5 million posters were printed which simply read "Keep Calm and Carry On" and were kept in reserve, intended for use only in times of crisis or invasion. The poster was never officially issued and remained virtually unseen by the public until a rare copy turned up more than 50 years later in a box of old books bought at auction by Barter Books in Alnwick. The shop owners liked the poster so much that they had it framed and placed by the till in the shop. It proved so popular that they decided to commission a facsimile edition which has become a best seller. The individuals responsible for the poster are unknown but it's a credit to those nameless artists that, long after the war was won, people everywhere are still finding reassurance in their distinctive and handsome design, and the very special "attitude of mind" they managed to convey.

Yesterday I got the shipping info for the blueberry bushes I had ordered, and found they had mistakenly put me down for a spring delivery when I had hoped to get them for this fall. A quick phone call cleared it all up and the customer service rep told me that they would ship them out next week.
So today I got back in from pulling in the last of my tomatoes and a bit of other clean up to find a Fedex truck parking in front of my house. We all kind of assumed it was a book my wife had ordered, but it was the blueberries!!! I know the nursery is only a few hours drive away, but they must have gotten right on it! Nice looking plants too. Much happier looking then the ones I got last Febuary from a different nursery (none of which made it).

I feel that I'm a mix of many music key personalities. I don't identify completely with one single keys, rather, I share traits from different keys.
@blueshadow216: Just like a symphony!
I like to think of it the way you think of it, too: that I'm a mix of different keys. I had a gloomy B minor day the other day....I think of the keys as I've characterized them as archetypes, and real people are usually a mix of archetypes.
@onlytony: ah yes! you were referring to the gremlins that were mucking about with the website on Friday. Happily it all got sorted out.
To say "Wow" is far too pedestrian ... especially after these cryptic posts! I loved this radio spot -- but is this a little different from what I just heard on "In the Field"? Thanks!
Fantastic, as always -- I love how smooth the transitions between songs are when the key is identical, and you've done some very clever mixing. There's certainly a cluster of "brilliant misunderstood introvert" types in the minor keys...very compelling.
This is a question about E minor, the Handsome Rogue (that post is now closed). At about the 52 second mark, a theme from a Spanish guitar concerto is played. Unless I am missing something, I cannot see what the music is on the little video. This music is well known but I can't remember what it is. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
Euler, it sounds like Nights in the Garden of Spain by Manuel de Falla but that's for piano and orchestra, so I'm probably wrong; Paolo will have to confirm I am. But if you liked that bit you'll might enjoy 'Nights...'. I'm having fun looking, an will keep doing so.
I found it! Thanks, Derek, but it was not Nights in the Gardens of Spain by Manuel de Falla. It is Asturias (Leyenda) by Isaac Albeniz. It was originally written in G minor for piano but later transcribed for the guitar in E minor. The title is misleading because it is Andalucian flamenco music, not music from Asturias in northern Spain. By the way, in desperation I used an amazing app on my iPad called Soundhound to identify it.
When I heard it, something was telling me it was for piano, then transcribed, which was why I went to 'Night's'. I will play that Albeniz tonight. Thanks Euler, tonnes of fun; it's such satisfaction finding something you know, you know but can't put your 'finger' on it. cheers.
@Euler, @Derek Lindner - glad you sorted it out! Sorry, I have been swamped producing F-sharp major: The Mystic and I hadn't come back to these comments in a few days. Sorry the pop-up wasn't working but glad you were able to track down Asturias. I use SoundHound too. Nifty, isn't it?
@headspacej - thanks as always!
@IHearMagic: thanks for your comment!! Yes, this episode is different from what you heard on "In the Field". That was the E minor episode: http://www.bit.ly/Eminor
A new episode is coming out every Friday on CBCmusic.ca and Sunday on CBC Radio 2 on In Concert until the end of June. Then there will be 6 more in September and October.
Through the summer you'll also be able to hear them on some weekend morning shows on CBC Radio 1.

to those who "get" to hear me pontificate face-to-face as well as in print, my apologies for the repetition.
of the many layers of grief, anger, frustration & dumbfoundedness after ella's death and birth, one is the dual call i feel to getting dirty as a stay-at-home-parent and in the outside-the-home world. dirty, of course, both figuratively and literally. and how the return of both in the near-ish future was taken away when ella died.
i'd hoped it would be a shorter time between the two, but i'd gotten quite used to eliot and ella being 3 1/2 years apart. that would mean, all told, that i could dedicate 5 or so years full-time to my kids at home breastfeeding, playing and establishing an attachment and then jump back in to the world of outdoor recreation or environmental theology or wherever the wind would have me (disclaimer: i do understand that working parents are also full-time parents, hopefully you'll forgive my usage and we can move on together).
now, five years will turn into seven or eight by the time, or if, we have another child. and i'm quite bitter about this.
you see, the problem is that i'm a perfectionist. an enneagram 1, to be precise. and this makes me crazy. i want it all and believe that i can have it all if i just work hard enough, make enough self-sacrifice, and set the bar higher than it should be. (this makes me weirdly "good" at keeping my lenten disciplines, by the way.) but these two things: stay-at-home-motherhood and the working/volunteering world – i'm having a hard time getting them to co-exist in the now or near future. and so i'm forced to choose. not choose between work or more children, mind you, but between my ideal of how "work" and "more children" are defined for me, in my own head, and how they fit together.
the realities of life are messy. beautiful and wonderful, but messy.
i've mentioned here a time or two the struggles we've had with eliot's red-light behavior and how we've linked it to spiritedness and sleep. today, in a desperate attempt to keep from repeating his meltiness of yesterday afternoon (up by 5:30, refuses to sleep during siesta – even though he's obviously exhausted – and jumps on the bed instead), after mitch and i tried to get a very obviously tired little boy asleep for an hour and a half, i bailed on everything i had hoped to get done today, put him in the car and drove to elizabethtown on a totally irrational whim to buy the makings of a bean bag chair to create a "tiny space" in his room for quiet time that would also be the start of getting every toy out of his bedroom to i don't know where so there wouldn't be distractions and he'd sleep like an angel yeah right.
he fell asleep halfway to elizabethtown and i'd not brought any work or knitting with me except a book i've been meaning to re-read for a few weeks. i read the first page. eliot stirred, fussed, and finally was convinced to curl up on my lap in my driver's seat in a parking lot outside hancock fabrics. we slept there together, awkwardly, beautifully, wonderfully, messy for over an hour. the latte i'd bought to enjoy my book with got cold, none of the three stores we visited after waking had bean bag chair fill which made me regret the $30 i'd spent on other supplies, we missed our opportunity to play in the warm sunshine this afternoon because we were in the car and in/out of stores, and i'm so far behind on work i'm starting to twitch.
this is what was on the first page of my book:
"let us remember that the life in which we ought to be interested is 'daily' life. we can, each of us, only call the present time our own … our lord tells us to pray for today, and so he prevents us from tormenting ourselves about tomorrow. it is as if [god] were to say to us: '[it is i] who gives you this day [and] will also give you what you need for this day. [it is i] who makes the sun to rise. [it is i] who scatters the darkness of night and reveals to you the rays of the sun."
-gregory of nyssa, on the lord's prayer
i also read this right before sitting down to put the above thoughts on "paper" while waiting for eliot to go to sleep (an hour after i'd hoped) so i can start checking things off my to-do list after dark which is the absolute worst time for me to get stuff done because i'm a morning person and my brain doesn't function at night but so is my son a morning person which means morning work is impossible because will you play with me mommy, please, please and how can i possibly say no to that? and so i fumble.
the life i ought to be interested in is daily life. the present time is my own. pray for today. beautiful, wonderful, messy, today.
honestly, i wouldn't trade that cuddly, squished nap in the driver's seat for much of anything, not even a hot latte.

End The Dogs Shooting Guns Epidemic in America
All decent people feel sorrow and righteous fury about the latest shooting of an innocent in Ohio.

Explore local history with your little ones this summer through landmarks, maps and even the traditional museum. Don't live down the street from the National Gallery of Art or the MOMA? No problem. Redplum has five tips to script your own version of History Detectives–local style–no matter what size your city or town (and these projects won't take one penny away from your summer get-away budget).
Cemetery Trailing
Take the tykes on a self-guided tour of a cemetery near your home. Make note of recurring symbols, aesthetic elements such as color and wear, as well as informational tidbits like dates and names. If you have the materials on hand such as crepe paper or newsprint and crayons, make a rubbing of the tombstone. Display the tombstone rubbing on your refrigerator once you get home as an artifact of your trip!
Interactive Mapping
List important places in your town on a map. Ask your knee-high-to-a-grasshopper-navigators to create an itinerary to municipal buildings, quirky landmarks and other locations such as the neighborhood firehouse, library or hospital. Before each stop consult your map and ask your kids to plan a route to the next destination. Break for lunch at a local eating establishment and talk to the owners/operators about their restaurant or café.
Architecture Sleuthing
Pre-select buildings or structures in your city or town with distinguishing architectural elements. Generate a list with your elfin Frank Lloyd Wright of criteria such as most interesting entryway, most decorative windows, unusual building material/pattern, and to keep it really local, include homegrown lawn ornaments or decorations. After you've taken photos, head to your library to find books on architecture trends and see which photos you can match to historical movements.
Chronicling-A Day in the Life of Your Town
Put some fresh batteries in the family digital camera and go on a scavenger hunt. Make a list beforehand of common buildings, structures, places and activities that characterize your town. As you find each item, cross it off the list by snapping a photo of the item or the activity. Share your photos in print form by posting them on the 'fridge, or uploading them to a Web site such as blogspot.com that will host your site for free.
Visiting-Museums and Historical Structures
Finally don't discount your local museum for an entertaining morning or afternoon and an obvious resource for finding out about your county, town or city's local history. Take advantage of children's programs, and if there are none, and have your kids affect their best newscaster voice and interview museum staff (time permitting of course) about major events that have taken place from back in the day. Even if your town isn't large enough to have a whole museum dedicated to local history, remember, local museums can be historical structures such as houses of prominent families, they need not be traditional repositories of large numbers of artifacts.

Aligarh (Uttar Pradesh), Jan 6 (IANS) This should be music to the ears of fashion show choreographers and art gallery owners. An Aligarh-based sitar maestro has developed background scores for such events.
Acharya Trigunateet Jaimini, who teaches at Mangalayatan University here, told IANS that he has 'worked hard' for several years to develop a brand of contemporary fusion music to provide 'appropriate background scores for Indian art galleries and fashion shows, particularly those showcasing traditional Indian attires'.
The innovative scores, developed jointly by him and a Vrindavan-based Italian guitarist and spiritualist, D. Turi, will debut at the Berlin fashion show in spring.
The scores, mostly duets played on the sitar and guitar, have been culled from Indian classical ragas.
The music is not customised. The duo takes up projects - either art or ramp shows, studies the display and the exhibits and then decides on the kind of music they require as background highlights.
Jaimini said it was necessary to create the right ambience with the right kind of music during fashion shows.
'Right now, in the absence of such music, we often depend on Western scores while displaying Indian ethnic wear. It contradicts the essence of the show. The scores that I have created will add to the overall attraction of the events,' Jaimini explained.
Elaborating on his new mission, Jaimini said: 'Just as fashion designers create new patterns and motifs, so will the background scores blend harmoniously and heighten the overall effect of the presentation.
'Similarly, art exhibitions need suitable music that takes into account the nature of the exhibits and the prevailing mood. Plus, of course, the stylised variations of the artists.'
Last year, Jaimini and Turi released a therapy series called 'Music of Life' to treat a variety of diseases. Music, say experts, has an inherent healing power that 'eases pain and depression'.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- John Allen Muhammad's DNA was conclusively linked to a rifle sight found in the car believed to have been used in last year's sniper attacks, an FBI expert testified Wednesday.
The sight was detached from the rifle when it was found, said the expert, Brendan Shea.
He would not say with certainty that DNA collected from the rifle itself was Muhammad's but testified there was a "high likelihood" that it was.
The DNA of Muhammad's co-defendant, Lee Boyd Malvo, was found on the rifle in several locations to the exclusion of anyone else, Shea testified.
Malvo's fingerprints also were found on the rifle, but the prints were not in a position consistent with someone firing the weapon, a fingerprint expert testified earlier Wednesday.
Charles Colman of the ATF said he found prints from Malvo's left ring finger and palm on the rifle, but found none of Muhammad's prints. Malvo's prints were on the weapon in such a manner that he would have been holding it upside down at the time, Colman said.
"It wasn't any type of firing position," he said.
It has long been known that only Malvo's prints were found on the weapon, but there had been no previous public discussion about the position of the prints.
Prosecutors have argued it is irrelevant who actually fired the weapon, portraying Muhammad as the "instigator and moving spirit" behind the shootings centered in the Washington, D.C., area.
Defense lawyers have argued that identifying the triggerman is crucial in determining whether Muhammad is eligible for the death penalty.
The jury also heard testimony Wednesday about the contents of a laptop computer found in Muhammad's car when he was arrested.
Maps of six shooting scenes were marked with skull-and-crossbones icons, said FBI computer expert John Hair.
A caption next to the symbol marking the slaying of FBI analyst Linda Franklin included the words "Good one."
Malvo has admitted firing the shots in many of the 16 attacks, but Malvo's lawyers say their client gave a false confession to protect Muhammad.
FBI fingerprint expert Mitchell Hollars said that he found Malvo's fingerprints on items left behind at a Sept. 21, 2002, shooting in Montgomery, Ala., and an Oct. 19 shooting in Ashland. He said he found Muhammad's fingerprints only on two items that had been in Muhammad's car. Muhammad's fingerprints were also found on a map book found at the scene of the Oct. 9 shooting of Dean Harold Meyers near Manassas.
Muhammad is on trial in that shooting.

Hello All,
I am trying update the script for DEI13.2, and have some issue while doing postRoute optimization. The old script line is as following:
optDesign -postRoute
The following error shows up in the report:
**ERROR: (ENCOPT-7016): use setDelayCalMode -engine [feDC | signalStorm] -SIAware false before running optDesign -postRoute -si [-hold].
I changed the command to:
setDelayCalMode -engine feDC -SIAware false
optDesign -postRoute -si
I got two errors shown as following: (similar results while using signalStorm option.)
**ERROR: (ENCOPT-7071): The distributed optimization engine is obsolete and has been replaced by the GigaOpt optimization engine which is default in this release. Please update your scripts to remove any explicit settings of 'setDelayCalMode -engine feDc' or 'setDelayCalMode -engine signalStorm' so you get the default Advanced Analysis Engine (AAE) delay calculator to enable the GigaOpt engine.**ERROR: (ENCSYT-6692): Invalid return code while executing 'encounter.tcl' was returned and script processing was stopped. Review the following error in 'encounter.tcl' then restart.
Taking that AAE is enable by default, I tried directly
optDesign -postRoute -si
This time I got two errors
**ERROR: (ENCOPT-7016): use setDelayCalMode -engine [feDC | signalStorm] -SIAware false before running optDesign -postRoute -si [-hold].**ERROR: (ENCOPT-6080): AAE-SI Optimization can only be turned on when the timing analysis mode is set to OCV. To run optimization while taking into account on chip variation, set an MMMC environment with the right operating condition.
Looks like I cannot do -si analysis without turning on the OCV. I checked in the user guide, and turned on the OCV mode as following (I have set a BC lib and a WC lib in the operating conditions):
setAnalysisMode -analysisType onChipVariation -cppr bothoptDesign -postRoute -si
I got the following errors:
**ERROR: (ENCOPT-7016): use setDelayCalMode -engine [feDC | signalStorm] -SIAware false before running optDesign -postRoute -si [-hold].
**ERROR: (ENCSP-2002): Density too high (100.0%), stopping detail placement. **ERROR: (ENCSP-9022): Command 'refinePlace' completed with some error(s).
The first error shows up again! The last two errors are new, and I guess they are related to the OCV mode, which I might not used properly.
To summarize, I have two questions:
1) Does the **ERROR: (ENCOPT-7016) for the old script mean NO postRoute optimization is done?
2) As suggested, AAE delay calculator is by default, why does the **ERROR: (ENCOPT-7016): show up for the old script?
3) How important is it to run optDesign -postRoute -si? Is it a common practice to run it in EDI13 or newer level?
4) Can I do optDesign -postRoute -si option without turning on OCV mode?
5) If I have to turn on the OCV mode to run optDesign -postRoute -si, what is the correct way to do it? (I tried the example script in user guide, but I got some new errors as shown above.)
Sorry for so many questions, I am not very familiar to this flow. Any comments are highly appreciated.
Hi ,
I am also using EDI 13.2 cadence encounter..:
below thing you need to do:
setDelayCalMode -engine aae -SIAware false
Please use above setting.
Answer of your summar:
1.not done.
2.13.2 version using gigaopt for that you need to give aae engine.
3.no dont use it will take care automatic.
5.better to do optDesign -postRoute only..
if any error then point me.
In reply to ajay01:
Post-route optimization with GigaOpt optimizes base and SI delay simultaneously but it requires OCV mode or else the SI push-out/pull-in delays will not be correct. To do post route optimization with SI run:
setDelayCalMode -engine aae -SIAware true
setAnalysisMode -analysisType onChipVariation -cppr both
optDesign -postRoute
In reply to wally1:
Hi Brain,
Thanks for correction.
In my next run i will also take care and check result.
But can you explain SI push-out/pull-in delays in detail???
Thank Ajay and Brian,
I actually tried both ways you guys suggested. The previous error information went away. There are two new error information about the density I think is related to the fillers. I think I can ignore them. Please let me know if I am wrong. Error information is as following:
[03/03 18:21:09 60s] Starting refinePlace ...[03/03 18:21:09 60s] **ERROR: (ENCSP-2002): Density too high (100.0%), stopping detail placement.[03/03 18:21:09 60s] Type 'man ENCSP-2002' for more detail.[03/03 18:21:09 60s] [CPU] RefinePlace/total (cpu=0:00:00.0, real=0:00:00.0, mem=1876.1MB) @(0:01:01 - 0:01:01).[03/03 18:21:09 60s] Total net length = 4.068e+03 (2.307e+03 1.761e+03) (ext = 3.647e+02)[03/03 18:21:09 60s] **ERROR: (ENCSP-9022): Command 'refinePlace' completed with some error(s).
Another followed question, I actually got the same error information as shown above for both commands you guys suggested. So my question is, how can I differentiate which command is used? or in other words, is there any place in the result I can find the difference by using either commands?
In reply to BackerShu:
Its look like you are running(may be your internal script) refinePlace command.
Before running refineplace command we need to delete filler.
After refineplace you can add filler.
Its normal error take care above thing it will get resolve.
Let me know if any other error.
And please update which result is better with siaware true or false?
push-out is added delay due to crosstalk (i.e. victim and aggressor switching in opposite directions). pull-in is decreased delay due to crosstalk (i.e. victim and aggressor switching in same direction). OCV is required so the proper libraries are used to calculate these delays.
Make sure the filler cells are defined properly with setFillerMode so optDesign can remove them and add them back in during optimization.
Thank you Guys,
I just want to check if I understand the ERRORs correctly.
the refinePlace command is internally called by this command:optDesign -postRoute -drv
To Ajay:
Based on your description, I guess you mean we should do addFiller command both before and after the refinePlace command (in this case should be the command:optDesign -postRoute -drv ). Am I right?
To Brian:
For proper setting for setFillerMode, do you mean this command:
setFillerMode -honorPrerouteAsObs true
If set properly, optDesign -postRoute -drv can take care of the Filler and we don't need to do addFiller again. Am I right?
Some further questions:
1) Actually, I checked the log file in previous Encounter vesion. The command optDesign -postRoute -drv doesn't call refinePlace command and there is no ERROR, is this also new in EDI13.2?
2) Can I just move the addFiller -cell {FILL128A10TL FILL64A10TL FILL32A10TL FILL16A10TL
FILLCAP8A10TL FILL4A10TL FILL2A10TL FILL1A10TL} -prefix FILL -merge true
after the command optDesign -postRoute -drv to avoid this ERROR?
3) I tried and the ERRORs did go away. But, is there any potential problem related to this?
Thank you.

Use the following flow for filler insertion. Otherwise, post route opt cannot remove and add back in filler cells:
setFillerMode -core {FILL128A10TL FILL64A10TL FILL32A10TL FILL16A10TL FILLCAP8A10TL
FILL4A10TL FILL2A10TL FILL1A10TL} -merge true -corePrefix FILLaddFiller
Thank you Brian,
I will try your suggestion. Do you mean specify no option at addFiller?
In between, I actually tried to move the addFiller -cell {FILL128A10TL FILL64A10TL FILL32A10TL FILL16A10TL
FILLCAP8A10TL FILL4A10TL FILL2A10TL FILL1A10TL} -prefix FILL -merge true
after the command optDesign -postRoute -drv to avoid this ERROR.
and the ERRORs did go away. But, is there any potential problem related to this?
Hi Brian,
Thanks for clear explanation about push in and push-out delay.
Hi Guanghua,
1.If you are getting error while running optdesign command then you need to do below setting.
setFillerMode -core $filler_list -corePrefix FILLER -fitGap true -deleteFixed true -ecoMode true
addFiller -cell $filler_list -doDRC true
2.If you are getting error after optdesign while running refineplace command.Then you need to take care below thing.
First do checkplace if no overlapping cell or unplaced cell then you can ignore error while running refineplace.
But if overlapping or unplaced cell there then you need to execute below comman:
deleteFiller -prefix FILLER
addFiller -cell $filler_list -doDRC true

This title celebrates all that is a little bit spooky on this fun holiday. Ann Estelle is dressed as a fairy queen and her friend Michael is a pirate. She does not want to admit that she is a little frightened about trick-or-treating even with her dad along. However, she eventually realizes that Michael, too, is scared, and that they can be brave together. Engelbreit has a comforting way of writing-the sentences are descriptive, but with many familiar words, and they are not too long for beginning readers. The illustrations are bright and cheery and capture the excitement that most children feel at the prospect of trick-or-treating. The bottom border on each page is filled with all of the familiar symbols of Halloween that children love.-Susan E. Murray, Glendale Public Library, AZ

Cavallari told the magazine one of her favorite trends right now is white on white.
So how are Cavallari and Shani prepared for a show like this? For Cavallari, she said just being around great stylists, wearing amazing designer clothing and being at photo shoots give her first-hand experience and awareness of what's going on She also has a shoe line called Kristin Cavallari by Chinese Laundry and a jewelry collection called GlamBoutique with jeweler Pascal Mouawad.

In terms of antivirus, AVG is certainly well placed among the free tools the most efficient.However, last weekend was somewhat bumpy for some users of Windows XP in French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch protecting their systems with AVG 7.5 or 8.0.
Indeed, the blacklist identifying threats to remove was updated on October 8 last and it was the user32.dll file version 5.1.2600.3099, which have been identified as infected with Trojan horse Generic9TBN or PSW. Banker4.APSA.Only problem is that it is a system component essential to the smooth operation of Windows XP.If the user chose to save the file in quarantine, it is destroyed, it becomes impossible to restart the system.
Technical Support AVG has posted instructions for users affected by this problem.A spokesman for the company said: "The users can not use their PCs should contact their dealer or ask a friend to download information and the patch for them."
Thierry Bonhomme, president of Square, the distributor of AVG in France, said to 01net, a patch was made "in two hours during the night from Saturday to Sunday, correcting shoot users whose PCs remained lit. In addition, technical assistance would have received approximately 2,000 requests for telephone support.

Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, voted recently with her fellow House Republicans to deny a raise in the nation's debt limit. This has been viewed as a tactic to force Democrats to agree to kill Medicare and to cut the tax rate for the rich by a third. I believe Republicans have assured Wall Street, behind closed doors, that they don't really mean it. But, with the newly-elected radicals in Congress, who knows?
What would happen if the U.S. defaulted on its debt? According to the brokers I've spoken to, we would see the following. All treasury bonds and notes would become instantly worthless, which would destroy the bond market. The stock market would crash. Bank deposits would no longer be insured. Cash would become all but worthless, creating catastrophic inflation. Food would disappear from markets. Gas would become unobtainable. Tens of millions would be thrown out of work, and the remaining workers would not get paid, no taxes would be collected, and Social Security and payments to our troops would eventually cease.
This is just for starters. Chaos will run in the streets, banks will fail around the world, and the Chinese will get mighty ticked, as we owe them about a trillion dollars.

Ramona Antonia
Update on Ramona AntoniaRamona, 40, is married and has two children who are in her care and study at the univesity. She is from the town of León which is in the western part of country. Ramona is known for being a very hard-working, responsible person who is determined to improve her situation. She earns a living selling different brands of cosmetics by catalogue.
She sells products such as lipstick, foundation, blush-on, eyeliner, creams, perfumes, eye corrector, make-up remover and eye shadow. She works on a door-to-door basis and receives orders from fixed and eventual customers. She has been in business for ten years and started it to have an income to support her family.
Ramona has worked with the León 2000 Foundation before and has proven herself to be responsible in paying back the loan on time. The loan she needs now is to stock her business and take advantage of the seasonal discounts. She hopes to receive support through the Kiva Program and the León 2000 Foundation. Ramona is grateful for the help Kiva lenders give to people with scarce resources in poor countries such as Nicaragua, so they can earn a decent living.
Previous Loan DetailsRamona Antonia engages in retail, selling a variety of products. She has been engaging in this activity for more than 6 years, and she is always looking for ways to improve her income. This is not the first time she has asked for a loan, as this method has been very helpful in allowing her to pro... More from Ramona Antonia's previous loan »
Additional Information
Fundación Leon 2000This loan is administered by Fundación Leon 2000. Fundación Leon 2000 began operations in 1993 as the first microfinance institution to serve the western part of Nicaragua, a country which continues to be one of the poorest in the western hemisphere. Fundación Leon 2000 works to further the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises through credit services and management, applying the best credit industry practices and technical expertise. Additionally, Fundación Leon manages several business and financial education programs in the community, specifically for young entrepreneurs and at-risk youth. Fundación Leon 2000's group of experienced and dedicated employees works in 7 offices in Leon, Chinandega, Chichigalpa, Somotillo, Jinotepe, El Sauce, and Nagarote and serves several thousand clients (the majority of whom are women).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

I and the Bird #90: Christmas Count Tally Rally
Winter Dunes, Gordons Pond, Cape Henlopen State Park, Delaware, USA
For this edition of I and the Bird, I've imagined that a hardy collection of bird bloggers has all gotten together for a Christmas Bird Count. Now the hard work of the day is done, and we're all gathered together to share our observations. Pour yourself an eggnog, grab a spot by the fire, and let us tell you all the wonderful things we found.
Christmas Counts, for all their carefully controlled repetition, always produce surprises, which is a big part of what makes them so addictive. Duncan Fraser made a Change of Plan when he was surprised by a Great Egret, which in turn led him to a cornucopia of interesting waterbirds.
Bird Ecology Study Group checks in with a beautiful short photo essay documenting a Black-naped Monarch in display. The angelic poses struck by this bird would serve as fine models for some lovely treetop Christmas ornaments.
Sometimes, the most valuable thing to come out of a Christmas Count is not population data but an experience that sparks a new birder. LoraKim Joyner recounts just such an incident in Tears in the Field.
Painful misses are, unfortunately, as much a part of birding as the surprising finds are. But any data, even negative data, is valuable and birding–like life–is what you make of it. Witness Beth Hunter's account of a night spent Waiting for Godot's Owls.
Perhaps you have a covert agenda when birding–maybe you're also looking to find hot birder love. Hmmm…does that make it an undertail covert agenda? Anyway, if you a birding lonely heart, always scanning the flock for potential mates, you'll want to read Birdchick's advice on How to Pick Up a Birder.
In much of North America, winter is considered the worst birding of the year, but in Just Another Amazing Day in AZ Rick Wright reminds us that the worst can be pretty darn good indeed.
Wherever you are, it's important to note weather conditions, as well as ice and snow cover or the lack thereof–key variables that influence which birds are present and which ones we find. The Ridger reports some cool observations of a heron On Ice.
One of the pleasures of an evening spent in birder company is hearing talented storytellers relate the amazing finds of others, preferably those in far-off, warm lands full of colorful birds. GrrlScientist does a masterful job of telling just such a tale, entitled, The Evolution of Poisonous Birds.
In ornithology, it's just as important to raise good questions as it is to find answers–and what birder doesn't love a mystery? Check out finchwench's exploration of the puzzling Pied Raven, or Hvítravnur.
Stakeout birds–those known to be previously present, inspire both anticipation and anxiety in Christmas Counters. If a rarity has been present in your area, you'll naturally be excited at the prospect of relocating it and adding it to the count. But what if you're the first one to miss it? Beverly Robertson successfully avoids this fate by finding a King Eider in Piermont.
The very, very best stakeout bird experiences are those where a search for a known rarity leads you to find one of your own, which is just what happens to N8 in Broad Appeal.
You'll increase your chances of finding interesting species if you prepare yourself in advance. Shrikes, even where relatively common, are wonderful to find. Beverly from Rural Chatter provides a great primer for would-be shrike finders in Shrike: a Butcher Bird.
David J. Ringer uses just that sort of knowledge in finding a Northern (Great Grey) Shrike in southwest Missouri.
When you're doing research, there's nothing like having the right reference. Grant McCreary sings the praises of Pete Dunne's Essential Field Guide Companion in Truly Essential. After reading Grant's review, I think a lot you may hope that Santa will leave a copy under your Christmas tree. Just a little warning, though–you're gonna need a big tree. (Just kidding, Pete & Lisa!)
Do you like a few big presents, or a whole bunch of cool little ones? John Beetham checks in with a stocking full of interesting Birding Notes.
Just as important as rarities–perhaps more so–are high and low counts of regularly occuring species. Paula Sullivan goes Out on a Limb and estimates 150+ Bald Eagles in a spectacular trip to Eagle City.
On a truly chilly Christmas Count, one gains a new level of appreciation for the hardships faced by birds. How do they survive for weeks on end in conditions that would kill us off in a matter of hours? Seabrooke Leckie explains some of the adaptations and strategies used by American Goldfinches braving harsh conditions in Tarnished Gold.
If you think it's tough surviving in a chilly woods, how about living on a slimy rock at the edge of an icy lake or ocean? Bundle up and read Kenn & Kim Kaufman's Purple On The Rocks.
Bad economic news got you down? A Christmas Count not only gives you ample return on your investment that day, it can pay dividends months down the road. Check out Larry Jordan's Red-shouldered Hawks Nesting Atop An Oak Tree for hot tips on midwinter scouting for next spring's raptor nest sites.
Perhaps you are traveling for the holidays; even so, chances are you can still join a Christmas Count wherever you go. Ecobirder describes the benefits of out of region birding in South Dakota Burrowing Owl.
Artist Vickie Henderson postpones a five hour car trip and is rewarded by an audience with a most charismatic resident in Pileated Woodpecker Pays a Visit.
Christmas is a favorite time for kids, and we always have to keep an eye toward recruiting that next generation of Christens Counters. My lovely wife Liz tells about attending a class designed to help us do just that in Flying Wild…Something to Crow About.
Speaking of that next generation, Neil Gilbert, who isn't yet old enough to drive but more than makes up for it with amazing birding and biking prowess, is already making wonderful contributions to birding endeavors of all sorts. For our Christmas Count, he brings in the lovely Bark Bird.
One incredibly valuable birding skill I greatly envy in those who have it is the discipline of keeping meticulous records. There is no better tool for turning interesting insights into valuable, valid observations. James Brush makes it look fun and easy in Project FeederWatch Week 3.
Christmas Count birding is undeniably cool. Close encounters with cooperative raptors are even cooler–check out Bill Schmoker's marvelous Harlan's Hawk photos in Cooperation is Cool.
As winter closes in, we welcome our old feathered friends back to our feeders. But not everyone settles in for a winter of somber sparrows and blackbirds. If you live in South Florida like Eva does, the arrival of winter means it's Painted Bunting Season!
And while many of us think of winter bird feeding as a time dominated by suet and sunflower seed, more and more birders are tending winter hummingbird feeders, with increasingly good results. Of course if you live in Southern Arizona like Sheri Williamson, hummingbird feeders are a year-round preoccupation. She offers some fascinating observations on tailoring those feeders to attract the visitors we want in Do we see what bees see?
One of the best ways to get birds to come to your yard is to grow plants that tempt them with their favored winter feasts, as Amber Coakley does in Waxwings flock to habitat megastore.
If you participate in a Christmas count, you may well be tasked with locating and counting rare and restricted-range species. It's a rather heady assignment– if you miss them, the count may miss them entirely. Fortunately, Carrie is on the case of the Florida Scrub-Jay, as she describes in Black Friday, Part 1: Jay-walking.
What are the quintessential Christmas Count Birds? In North America, I'd say it's a toss-up between winter finches and winter owls. Fortunately, our blogger CBC luck has been good on both fronts. Join Noflickster as he witnesses a White-winged Crossbill Irruption.
Then, join I and the Bird's patron saint, Mike Bergin, for Owl's Well That Ends Well.
Finally, every Christmas count seems to have an all-around triple-threat birder–the the one who not only finds the rarest bird and identifies it correctly, but also writes up immaculate fieldnotes, and submits prize-winning photographs. Ladies and gentlemen, Pete McGregor and The migrants.
By the way, expect my soul to restlessly walk the earth like the ghosts of Christmas Counts past, present, and future combined if I die before I get to see a Wrybill.
Here's hoping that your end of year birding, whatever traditions and protocols underlie it, is full of good birds, good friends and good blogging. Happy Holidays, everyone!
And don't forget to submit your New Year's goodies to Tim at From the Faraway, Nearby by January 8, 2009, for inclusion in I and the Bird #91.

[…] That friend was Jeffery A. Gordon and if you've ever had the pleasure of birding with Jeff, you might detect the incongruity in that admission. Jeff is, to put it plainly, a birding ace. I've seen him entice rarities out of the jungle canopy that had pros from three continents running with childlike glee. I've also seen him wrangle reptiles and unruly bird watchers alike with equal finesse, but that's another story. The beauty of our avocation is that there is always more to see, more to learn and know. Even the most exemplary guide feels like a student, just like you. And Jeff, already impressive as an author and tour leader, has added blogging to his arsenal. He might not have as many years under his belt in this medium as many of us but he's climbing the ladder quickly, as evidenced by his dynamite Christmas Bird Count tally rally presentation of I and the Bird #90!

Thanks for including us, and thanks for a great read! Just as much fun as a real Xmas Count tally. And I'll second what Mike said about you being a birding ace, Jeff, based on our time in the field in Texas, Mexico, and elsewhere. I'm still impressed at the way you pulled those hyper-elusive Singing Quail out of the cloud forest to show the kids at Rancho del Cielo years ago. And you blog as well as you bird, which is saying a lot!

I will make no apology for my last statement and stand by it . They feel ashamed at what has happened to their home town and are angry at the association of Brighton with Homosexuality and do not know how to deal with it ..
People with your view point are thankfully very much in the minority, which actually makes you the deviant.

Pfft. There is no such thing as privacy. We are all tracked by our phones, debit cards, loyalty cards, etc
Sorry my inner conspiracy theorist had to let loose :-(
I always hear people complain about the AP's being flimsy but I've never had an issue with mine.
I have a regular AP and have always had free parking.

Associated Press News
The FBI says a North Carolina man missing for days was the target of a kidnapping plot and has been rescued from an Atlanta apartment complex.
FBI spokeswoman Shelley Lynch says Frank Arthur Janssen is safe after a team rescued him minutes before midnight Wednesday from the complex in the southeast part of the city.
Thursday morning, residents described a loud boom that had startled them. Two mangled, charred doors lay in a courtyard area.
The FBI says Janssen was reported missing April 5 from his Wake Forest home. No one answered the door at a house address listed for him in a quiet, upscale subdivision.
Lynch says she had no immediate details about the rescue operation, a motive or any arrests. She says Janssen was being reunited with his family.
