An Apil Bista films production's movie, based on political leaders Madan Bhandari and Jivraj Ashrit who were killed in an 'accident' that happened in the place called Dasdhunga.
Nepali Movie – Dasdhunga
Starring – Anup Baral, Sanchita Luitel, Dayahang Rai, BS Rana, Bishow Basnet etc.
Director – Manoj Pandit
Movie is not available now.
Two years research about Dasdhunga incident, Madan Bhandari and Jeevraj Aashrit:
Twitter comment from a viewer:
@AnandNepal सार्है राम्रो फिल्म हौ यो त। दयाहाङ राईको उत्तिकै भुमिका।
— युटोपिया (@Nepaliboy10) September 30, 2015
News about Censor board removing 10 minutes portion of 'Dasdhunga'.
The following report was published on Jan 21, 2010 @ 23:01 and consolidated here.
Dasdhunga, 10 minutes too long – censor board
The Nepali film censor board has objected on some scenes of a movie based on the event of an 'accident' killing two top UML leaders, Madan Bhandari and Jivraj Ashrit. The 1993 'accident' happened in a very mysterious circumstances and the only survivor of the accident, driver Amar Lama, was also killed after 10 years by an unidentified killer.
The movie 'Dasdhunga', produced by Apil Bista and directed by Manoj Pandit, is based on the incident, named after the accident location, Dasdhunga. The movie is told to be based on reports of various examination committees (Anil Commission, Tuladhar Commission, and Oli Commission) and published news/articles after the incident. The actors in the movie are: Anup Baral (Government Examination Panel), Dayahang Rai (driver Amar Lama), Saugat Malla (foreign agent), Sanchita Luintel (Anup Baral's wife) etc.
The censor board has asked the producer to cut different scenes from various parts (a total of 10 minutes in length) of the movie to be eligible for public shows. The board has accused that the the conversations in the scenes pose threats to the relationship with neighboring countries.
The incident was surrounded by controversy and now the movie based on the incident is also facing similar controversies before its release. The controversy will surely be beneficial for the movie and the free publicity will pay well if the movie is made decent enough.

Sen. Galen Hadley of Kearney has been at the center of the storm recently. Hadley's chairman of the Nebraska Legislature's Revenue Committee, which held hearings last week on Gov. Dave Heineman's tax proposals. Those proposals would abolish or reduce the state's corporate and personal income taxes, by ending many sales tax exemptions for manufacturers, farmers and others. In this week's Capitol Conversation, NET News' Fred Knapp asks Hadley about alternative ideas, like expanding the sales tax on services, and about where the discussion goes from here.

From Wikiquote
Immigration is the movement of people from one nation-state to a foreign country. While human migration has existed throughout human history, immigration implies long-term permanent residence (and often eventual citizenship) by the immigrants, also known as expatriates.
A – B – C – D – E – F – G – H – I – J – K – L – M – N – O – P – Q – R – S – T – U – V – W – X – Y – Z – See also – External links
- We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.
- The right of locomotion; the right of migration; the right which belongs to no particular race, but belongs alike to all and to all alike. It is the right you assert by staying here, and your fathers asserted by coming here. It is this great right that I assert for the Chinese and the Japanese, and for all other varieties of men equally with yourselves, now and forever... We should welcome to our ample continent all the nations, kindreds, tongues and peoples, and as fast as they learn our language and comprehend the duties of citizenship, we should incorporate them into the American body politic. The outspread wings of the American eagle are broad enough to shelter all who are likely to come. As a matter of selfish policy, leaving right and humanity out of the question, we cannot wisely pursue any other course. Other governments mainly depend for security upon the sword; ours depends mainly upon the friendship of the people. In all matters, in time of peace, in time of war, and at all times, it makes its appeal to the people, and to all classes of the people. Its strength lies in their friendship and cheerful support in every time of need, and that policy is a mad one which would reduce the number of its friends by excluding those who would come, or by alienating those who are already here.
- Frederick Douglass, Our Composite Nationality (7 December 1869), Boston, Massachusetts
- It almost seems that nobody can hate America as much as native Americans. America needs new immigrants to love and cherish it.
- Eric Hoffer, "Thoughts of Eric Hoffer, Including: 'Absolute Faith Corrupts Absolutely'", The New York Times Magazine (25 April 1971), p. 25.
- All the illegal immigration out. Out of my country, out of my home.
- Golden Dawn leader Nikolaos Michaloliakos, as quoted in "Greek Far Right Gains Demands Landmines on Boarders", VOA News
- Contrary to the arguments of those who oppose free immigration and open borders, it is actually immigration restrictions which infringe on the rights of property owners. If the owner of a farm or a store wants to hire someone, that prospective employee's place of birth should not give an uninvolved third party the right of veto. Likewise, if a property owner wishes to rent to or sell to an individual born on the other side of an imaginary government line, this is no business of anyone who is not a party to the agreement... [A]ll individuals have the right to travel and engage in voluntary and consensual commerce with other individuals, and one's place of birth or residency should never be used as an excuse to restrict their rights. Crimes are the fault of the individuals who commits them and no one else; therefore restrictions based on common characteristics between those who commit crimes and those who do not are never justified. Culture is not harmed by immigration, but is rather enhanced and broadened through migration and travel.

- We are a nation of many nationalities, many races, many religions, bound together by a single unity, the unity of freedom and equality. Whoever seeks to set one nationality against another, seeks to degrade all nationalities. Whoever seeks to set one race against another seeks to enslave all races. Whoever seeks to set one religion against another, seeks to destroy all religion.

- Every man has a right to one country. He has a right to love and serve that country and to feel that it is absolutely his country and that he has in it every right possessed by anyone else. It is our duty to require the man of German blood who is an American citizen to give up all allegiance to Germany wholeheartedly and without on his part any mental reservation whatever. If he does this it becomes no less our duty to give him the full rights of an American, including our loyal respect and friendship without on our part any mental reservation whatever. The duties are reciprocal, and from the standpoint of American patriotism one is as important as the other.

HourlyHours to be determined
Intermediate Level
Start DateOctober 28, 2013
Dear talented writers,
Our company works with website developers by providing content for their clients. One of our developers is heavily involved with plastic and cosmetic surgery practices from around the country. The developer builds the sites; we write the content. In short, business is good, and we're in need of an additional writer to help us write content for the aforementioned practices. Specifically, we're looking for someone coachable who is flexible and willing to learn the specific style of writing required for these clients. Please note, we'll likely be choosing several candidates at first and then narrowing them down to a final choice.
— Writing will involve a mix of page content, blogs and articles
— Though dependent on the content, word-counts will range from 250-800 words
— Contractor-based position
— For individuals, not agencies or companies
— Pay can be word-based or hourly
— Pay is negotiable based on experience and skill level
— Expected time commitment is about 5 hours per week to start, but increasing once you learn the appropriate voice and style and are more "hands-off" (i.e., your work requires minimum editing time)
— In the long run, it may turn into a full-time position for the right candidate
The Ideal Candidate
— A degree in journalism or a similar field
— 18+ months of professional writing experience
— Background knowledge in medical writing or the field itself (such as knowledge on general anesthesia)
— A proficient command of AP style
— Is a native English speaker
— Is preferably U.S.-based
— Ability to take and apply constructive criticism (vital!)
— Versatile writing style
— Doesn't take him/herself too seriously and is able to laugh with us
— Maturity (you'll be writing on topics such as breast augmentation and liposuction quite frequently)
Our goal is to deepen our figurative writing "bench." The candidate will be guided directly by our account editor who heads up this specific client. She'll teach/edit the specifics of the voice and style required by the client. As our confidence in the contractor grows, so too will the amount of writing opportunities (if the contractor wants them). In the long-term, there will be an opportunity for employment for the right contractor.
The Bid
Within your bid, please include:
— Your résumé
— A description of relevant work experience (work involving the medical field is especially of interest)
— Unedited samples of your work (meaning, your written work before an editor got ahold of it)
Of course, you may have further questions. Please feel free to include your questions within your proposal/bid and I'll be happy to respond to them.
Thank you for bidding on our project!

Chris Christie Picks a Fight with a Real Housewives Husband
Oh, New Jersey.
"Hot and sexy" Governor Chris Christie has picked a fight with Real Housewives of New Jersey husband Albert Manzo. Manzo — who is married to Housewives matriarch Caroline — is a commissioner on the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission, and Christie believes he abused the public trust by lying about where he lives. Christie — who we imagine has enjoyed several plates of baked ziti at Manzo's banquet hall in his time — said Manzo lists his business, the Brownstone, as his official address. "Do you really believe he's sleeping on a cot at the Brownstone in Paterson?" Christie asked. Well, actually, says Manzo — who touted his close personal relationship with disgraced former NYPD commissioner Bernie Kerik on the show — he has an apartment in the Brownstone's building, and he'll fight to keep the position. Let's hope they caught it all on tape.

Famed photographer, Bruce Weber recently released four sexy Abercrombie & Fitch videos that you simply must see. If for some crazy reason you need any other motivation to watch other than me telling you that they are A&F videos, let's just they all revolve around wrestling and training for the sport. That's right…Hello homoerotic heaven!
There are four short videos in the series: (1) Basketball Is What Boys Do (During Men's Wrestling Season) (2) Everything Else Seems Easy (3) Live Sleep and Eat Wrestling and (4) Other Sports Require One Ball. They are all worth watching.
I've included a series of screen shots below as well, to give you an appetizer before the main course. Enjoy!
Check out the videos on Bruce Weber's website via the links below.
Which one was your favorite? I'd have to say "Other Sports Require One Ball" for sure.

Rajat Gupta Will Not Settle for Anything Less Than His Very Own Trial By Jury
Administrative hearings are not baller.
Rajat Gupta did not get to be head of the firm McKinsey or earn a board seat at Goldman Sachs by letting opportunities pass him by. As wiretaps show, Gupta waited a mere 23 seconds to phone Galleon founder Raj Rajaratnam after Gupta heard about Goldman's impending financial woes. Gupta's ambition likewise knows no bounds. Other wiretaps show that just weeks before that phone call, Gupta planned on leaving Goldman's board for a more lucrative, $12 million gig to be a senior adviser at KKR.
"I think he wants to be in that circle," Mr. Rajaratnam says. "That's a billionaire circle, right? Goldman is like the hundreds of millions circle, right?"
So now that Rajaratnam has his own fancy-shmancy criminal trial for insider trading — ohhh, isn't he special, the biggest insider-trading trial in decades — Gupta is not going to be satisfied with just a mere administrative hearing with the SEC.
Gupta has filed a lawsuit accusing the SEC of unconstitutionally denying him a jury trial. Provisions in the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill enabled the SEC to try Gupta by administrative proceedings, rather than a civil
criminal trial like all the other defendants in the Galleon case — nineteen of whom have pleaded guilty. The SEC has yet to charge Gupta with any wrongdoing, although he has been named as a co-conspirator for passing Rajaratnam information about Goldman and Procter & Gamble, accusations he denies.
Gupta's lawyers allege that in administrative hearings, the SEC can use hearsay evidence. His legal team also takes issue with the fact that the SEC invited Gupta to discuss the main points of his defense without mentioning he might be up for administrative proceedings. Judges in administrative hearings don't have as much leeway to impose large fines. If Gupta is allowed a civil trial by jury and loses, the potential fallout could be greater. But Gupta knows the rules: Go big or go home. Oh yeah, and never be upstaged by a man that shares part of your first name.

C'est génial!
Beautiful - love all the different characters!
Great, all those fairy tale characters in one picture
super lovely!!
Wow. There are so many sweet memories here. Ahh good times.
Great job drawing this.
Great job drawing this.
This is freaking awesome!
Amazing detail in here!
Amazing detail in here!
This would make a really sweet tattoo. This so rad
I think there's a mistake in the butt
Beyond that, it's amazing!
Wonderful and creative!!!
Amazing! That Pinocchio though. "I just wanted to be a real boy"
How enchanting. *loves it*
Excelent! I really love it!
Absolutely stunning!
Very nice!
As a Bookworm I can't not like this, it is a beautyfull peace
such a nice coll spin on these stories...love it...software used? or hand done?
That's cool... (is it just me, or does that girl with the book have a nice ass?)
Wonderful, it's exactly what happen in my head. Fav!
I really love it
Perfect way of displaying the inner self when reading a good book, I don't know why this is marked as mature, for the girl in the window?
that's exactly how I feel when I read a book... and I hate it when sb disturbes me in my perfect world
Right in the childhood
I love it !
wow this is so well done. /clap
nice work. I am a big fan of symbolism and mythology. The history of little red riding hood is fantastic. There's a book called " From the Beast to The Blonde" don't know if you've heard of it - but I highly recommend it. The author goes back to the middleages then analyses all the changes in imagery and plot lines, right up tp 20th Century tales.
My new wallpaper , this is amazing .. good job and keep it up : )
This is an awesome picture, but i feel her upper body is more realistic then her lower body. Her lower body twists in a way that doesn't seem at all realistic. And her leg that's more inside of the couch is really short. But other than that, this is great work.
GOOD & FUNNY! Love this
love the sock's
Nice picture. I just noticed that the genie's checking her ass out. Ahahaha!
Dude. Is it just me or does the genie look like Shemar Moore?
Congrats on the DD!
So many references. This is awesome.
This kinda reminds me of Inkheart. I think it's soo cool though
The best deviations that I have seen in a while.
I like the references to all fairy tales and stories. It's great.
A mermaid without a shell bra....Woooo!!!

Open Data
Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker announced plans to expand her agency's release of government data as fuel for economic growth in her first policy speech since assuming the post in June.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a Commerce Department component, is taking the first step with the announcement of a public/private initiative to release more of the data collected by the weather agency. Currently, NOAA is able to release 2 terabytes of the 19 terabytes of data it produces on a daily basis.
"Those 2 terabytes alone power a multibillion-dollar industry -- everything from the Weather Channel to your smartphone weather apps," Pritzker said during a speech Nov. 14 in Washington. The additional 17 terabytes "will help more entrepreneurs launch businesses using public information about our oceans, climate and weather."
Another Commerce component, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, will take the lead in developing open-data standards, while the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the International Trade Administration, and the Bureau of Industry and Security will be test beds for the deployment of new standards and best practices, according to a Commerce fact sheet that accompanied Pritzker's speech.
"We will work throughout our department, across government, and with industry to make even more data standardized and easy to use," Pritzker said.
She also pointed out that when some of the government's data was not available during the recent shutdown, including highly anticipated reports from Commerce, it was missed.
"Data does not get a lot of attention until it is not available," Pritzker said. "Businesses depend every single day on the rich data we provide."

The recent political uprisings across the Middle East share similarities with the unrest that rippled through Eastern Europe in the late 20th century.
Stanford scholars say studying these connections may lead to a better understanding of what comes next in today's movements.
"We are all trying to puzzle through these various scenarios and understand what political possibilities lie before us," said Robert Crews, associate professor of history and director of the Center for Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies (CREEES).
The center recently hosted the 36th Annual Stanford-Berkeley Conference on Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies. Fifteen scholars participated in panel discussions on who makes revolutions, why some fail and how to interpret protest movements....

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
The Italian Stallion's second coming continues with another crazed collection of cum-happy nymphos from both the U.S. and Europe going wild for a taste–and more, much more!–of the world-famous stud's fabled fuck-rod.
Rocco lets his current crop of Euro-babes loose on some industry studs and the result, while heavy into anal, also concentrates on going deep.
Two shine in this release. First is Loona Luxx as the housewife who needs to play with more than just hubby, and the result is a torrid threesome with every square inch of available internal organs stretched to the max.
Also, pleasantly busty Jessica Moore shows off her girlfriend Messua's tats—an act which alone rouses the nearby male interest to the popping point, with pounding anal and simultaneous oral duly delivered. Well done.

VICTORIA, TX -- The Brazos Valley Bombers made the journey down to Victoria after a tough loss this past Saturday to East Texas, Brandon Bergen made the start for the Bombers and was able to get some help in the field as the Bombers teamed up to earn a 3-1 victory at Riverside Stadium.
The Bombers went down 1-2-3 in the first two innings, but in the third, left fielder Quinton Urban had a leadoff double and would come to the plate to score the first run on a double by catcher Kevin Lamb. The Bombers scored twice in the fifth inning. Urban once again hit a leadoff double.
He advanced to third on a groundout by Lamb. Second baseman Shea Pierce drew a walk. Center fielder Jordan Hamerman then hit a fielder's choice that allowed Urban to come home to make the score score 2-0. Right fielder Myles Parma then came to the plate and smacked a double that scored Hammerman making the score 3-0.
Bergen started the ballgame and pitched six shutout innings. Brandon recorded three strikeouts. In the seventh inning, Derrick Mazzio came in and allowed no runs. Ryan Ulman came into the game in the eighth inning and recorded three strikeouts.
Franco Pace came in to pitch the ninth, but with a bases loaded jam, Coach Dixon brought in Nick Johnson who was able to get a General to roll over on a pitch that went to Pierce who made the flip to shortstop Nick Smelser securing the 3-1 victory and setting up a rematch between these two teams tomorrow night at 7:05.
Both Bergen and Johnson were named the H&R Block Never Settle For Less Players of the Game.
The pitching staff was helped out by great plays defensively. Third baseman Brennyn Smith made a couple in the game. One of them was snagging a ball out the air for an out, and the other was a nice back hand stop then making the throw to first for the out.
In the bottom of the fourth first baseman Brad Porras was able to record an out with a nice over the shoulder catch in foul territory. Bergen made two nice plays himself while on the mound.
His first was when he snagged a ball out of the air then made the throw to first, and the other was made on a straight shot back at him where Brandon fell down, but managed to recover and get the ball to first for the out.
The Bombers return to American Momentum Bank tomorrow night as they take on Victoria with the first pitched scheduled for 7:05. The game will be a $2 Tuesday with $2 Tickets, Beer, Soda, Hot Dogs & More! Fans are also encouraged to come out for Crazy Inflatable Night presented by Bounce-A-Lot!

The world's largest corporate issuer smashes open sukuk market with trail-blazing debut
Blazing a
Islamic issuance fell by 56% to $14.9bn in 2008 as credit
markets froze up, but, in recent months Gulf sovereign and
state-backed corporates have bombarded the market with
competitively priced Islamic transactions. However, Malaysian
oil company Petronas, which issued a $1.5bn five year sukuk in
August, and GECC remain the only two non-Gulf debut sukuk
issuers of the year.
As is typical of such deals, the bulk of GECCs $500m
sukuk was snapped up by traditional buy-and-hold Islamic
accounts. This might mean that the deal, like its predecessors,
will be blighted by poor secondary market liquidity.
Nevertheless, the $500m paper will serve as a useful benchmark
for other budding US borrowers with a business presence in the
region, said the head of Islamic finance for a US bank in
"This deal will be an interesting case study but if you are an
entity that has no linkages to the Middle East or Asia, sukuks
may not be the right diversification play because Islamic
investors feel more comfortable with businesses they are
familiar with."
GECCs deal may have also helped to kick open the sukuk
market further by broadening the traditional list of assets
eligible to finance an Islamic issue. The sukuk is an Ijarah
structure and will be backed by operating lease receivables of
GEs aviation leasing business.
Ijarah structures are typically backed by land parcels. GE owns
around 1,500 aircraft, leased to global airlines, with average
lease terms of seven years. Islamic bonds are typically in five
year format as this is the sweet spot for local investors. Yoh
said the borrower has already identified a large pool of assets
suitable for backing up a further benchmark sukuk issue in

I hope this is the right place
Continued from here.
I hope this is the right place
If I may, it would seem to me that this some what involves me, so I may as well add my 2 cents; there are summed up here; http://www.lucasforums.com/showpost....&postcount=406
It was not my opinion at the time, nor now that Achilles post was a personal attack, nor his intetion to call me, or anyone else 'stupid'.
However, I think some may have read it as such and considered it discourtious. I did not consider it so, however it is in the juristiction of the moderators; and ultimatly they arbitrate as to what should and should not be said.
Peace... :)
As was the case with Stoffe, I appreciate you sharing your opinion on the matter. Unfortunately, it seems that the status quo is going to be that some opinions are more important than others, especially if that opinion is held by a member of the SWK staff. Doesn't mean you're right. It just means that you get to make the rules.
Yet, somehow, here we are :)
Only that a heavy dose of "opinion" was necessary to wiggle around to a point where the accusation of a forum rules violation could be made. If she has an opinion and you have an opinion and I have an opinion and all those opinions are on equal footing, then we should be able to have a lovely chat rather than moderators arbitrarily deciding what things mean.
However, the tone of the note suggests that Stoffe has decided (based on her opinion) that the comment was an ad hominem. She's also decided (based on her opinion) that I was somehow disingenuous with my comments. And finally she's decided (based on her opinion) that term used means what she's decided (based on her opinion) it's going to mean.
If the SWK staff wants to outlaw the use of the term "intellectual dishonesty" from Kavar's all you guys have to do is say so. Trying to prop the decision up with a lot of erroneous arguments simply makes it difficult for me to understand what the rules are.
What I see here is case where words were used that were received in a manner different than their intention. I think jonathan7's post above is evidence of this. Some may have viewed the term "dishonest" as a the being the equivalent to "liar" and therefore an ad hominem. I believe Achilles may have been using a short hand way of expressing disregard to illogical arguments that he believes are being presented as logic, or that arguer may not wish to acknowledge as illogical. In this sense, the term may not be intended as an ad hominem attack.
The problem here however is that Jae Onasi did construe this as a personal attack. And now we have this thread to address the misunderstanding. This could've been handled within the Kavar's thread if either party would've taken steps to communicate their intended/perceived feelings over the issue. Achilles, you could have expanded your reasoning for why you felt an presenting an argument in a certain was "intellectually dishonest" or pointed back to previous posts for clarification, or you could have gone out of your way a little to explain how you didn't intend this to be an ad hominem attack. Like Jae, you could have questioned the reason for using such wording or explained why you felt the wording was personally aggressive.
In this matter, stoffe, was responding to a reported post and took action to address the issue and call for ending hostilities (perceived or actual), which is precisely what a moderator should do. Following her post would've been a good time for clarifying the intent of "intellectually dishonesty" but I've already "woulda-coulda-shoulda" enough here. :p
It's worth remembering that the intended purpose of Kavar's Corner is to engage in friendly discussions. If all parties keep this in mind and try to maintain compassion towards each other without looking down on the other, I believe these issues will resolve themselves naturally without escalation.
As for the topic of this thread, the answer is yes. This is the right place. :)
At any rate it was a generally aimed nudge, not a warning to a particular person, intended to remind people that you can discuss a subject without discussing the moral or mental character of the person you are discussing it with. The quoted phrase was what we've received reports about as being considered specifically offensive by several other members.
I've got no agenda other than to try to have people act in a civil manner and treat each other with basic respect when they post on the SWK forums. I've got no personal grudges or indeed any close involvement with the participants in that thread. I was merely responding to reports that the tone in a thread was starting to slide in the wrong direction.
This is not about microanalyzing particular words and phrases though. It's about a general tone when posting, and being civil to fellow members when discussing topics that people have heated opinions about. If the use of specific language has been misunderstood or misinterpreted, fair enough, but that's how other readers of the thread perceived it.
Somebody somewhere felt that some rule was in danger of being violated. I was merely trying to figure out which one. :)
Perhaps a more specific nudge would have helped to single out the individual(s) you were concerned about.
Understanding that people sometimes don't understand the meaning of terms in their own language, hopefully you can see that I was questioning the rationale of the argument being made rather than your understanding of the language (though clearly now I can see how you were only going off what you were told, rather than making a leap in reasoning yourself. My apologies).
From my perspective, this issue occurred because someone took issue with the word "banana". You're trying to address the perceived issue, while I'm trying to figure out how someone got offended over the use of the word "banana" (and why the staff is issuing nudges about not offending people). I hope that helps to clarify my position on the matter.
I do appreciate you taking the time to respond and clarify your position. Take care, Stoffe :)
This is similar to the whole "formal debate" issue that no one has been able to adequately answer for me.
Do any of the rest of us get to have a say in what "high standards of courtesy" look like or will you continue to define that as we go along?
On-topic: Since I haven't been furnished with a warning, Jae, I'm only left to guess at what you're referring to. The entire purpose of this thread has been to discover what the problem was. The nudge has been retracted and mediation has been offered, yet here you are continuing to insinuate there's an issue. So is there a problem or not?
I have absolutely no problem trying to meet you half way on this, but I think you'll need to not be on-the-attack first.
My apologies. I deleted my comments.
It's time to cool down and that applies to everyone.
I understand that there might be disagreements and that not everyone has the same degree of sensitivity but is it really necessary to start throwing knives at each other over a so small issue? This isn't going anywhere. At one point, some things have to be left behind...
No warnings were issued here. However, whether you agree or disagree with the context, the intent of stoffe's reminder in the thread wasn't a bad one...it can also be summarized to 3 words: keep it friendly :) We are trying to make Kavar a welcoming place for everyone, no matter the age (well 13+ ), the origin or backround and thus encourage friendly discussion...at the same time, that doesn't mean that you cannot express your opinions and discuss/challenge others opinions.
I think that what had to be said has been said and instead of arguing ad nauseam in this thread, the issue will be discussed in private. If there are rule modifications to be made for the future, people will be informed accordingly.
@ Achilles and other regular members: if you have further comments/suggestions on the issue, feel free to send me or any other staff member a PM.

The company was started in Dunedin, by Henry Sydney Bingham,
about 1911, and has been involved in much of the major
stonework in the city and its environs.
Liquidator Iain Nellies, of Insolvency Management Ltd, said
the company was involved in the construction of a private
mausoleum for overseas investors in the Mackenzie Country
which proved "uneconomic".
Prices had been fixed for the project meaning the company was
hit by rising costs in materials.
It was put into liquidation on July 7 after a resolution by
the five shareholders, including Mr Blucher.
He declined to comment when contacted yesterday.
In its early days, H. S. Bingham Monumental Masons, as the
company was known until 1980, worked on almost all the
building jobs in Dunedin where stonework was required
including First Church renovations in 1933, Knox College, St
Matthew's Church renovation, Caversham Presbyterian Church,
Hanover St Baptist Church, Olveston and the Savoy building.
The company also created various war memorials, including the
cenotaph at Queens Gardens and the McKenzie Memorial Cairn on
Puketapu Hill above Palmerston.
Henry Sydney Bingham built the marble stairs in the Otago
Museum and Regent Theatre.
He arrived in Dunedin, from London, in 1905, and secured work
at one shilling and sixpence an hour, on the new Dunedin
Railway Station.
He found work as a mason with George Lawrence, who was
building the Musselburgh School.
When this job finished, Mr Bingham bought into Munro
Monumental Masons in Moray Pl, at some stage changing its
name to H. S. Bingham.
The company's involvement in significant stonework continued
in recent years.
Ian Bingham, the grandson of Henry Sydney Bingham and son of
Claude Bingham, was involved in the company for 44 years
including 28 years as owner.
He sold the company to the present shareholders in March
In 2001, Ian Bingham sculpted the Millennium Cross which was
placed at Queens Gardens.
In 2007, the company replaced each of the 14 chimneys on
Larnach Castle, on Otago Peninsula, and repaired the
88-year-old Rongahere War Memorial, near Beaumont.
Mr Bingham said it was disappointing the company had been put
into liquidation especially as it still bore his surname.
Mr Nellies said in a report 45 creditors were owed money,
including 40 who were unsecured.
The total amount owing and whether a dividend would be paid
to creditors had yet to be established.
Much of the company's debt related to advances made by the
five shareholders, he said.
Yesterday, many of the company's assets were put up for sale
at an on-site auction at its Vogel St premises.
For sale were granite slabs, headstones, plinths, and
obelisks as well as tools and vehicles.
The money raised from the auction would be put towards any
outstanding debts.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
I worked with Bruce on the great Arrowtown castle project,
building a mansion out of schist. We had a remarkable crew of
untrained masons. This was early 1980's. He was/is an
excellent mason, and I was deeply saddened to hear about the
demise of his business. Where is he now?

I'm really new to F#, and I need a bit of help with an F# problem.
I need to implement a cut function that splits a list in half so that the output would be...

I can assume that the length of the list is even.
I'm also expected to define an auxiliary function gencut(n, xs) that cuts xs into two pieces, where n gives the size of the first piece:

Splurge on Spray-Foam Roof Insulation
It costs two to three times more than fiberglass batt insulation. But the roof is a major pathway to heat loss—and gain—so it's worth shelling out the extra bucks for spray foam. It forms a much tighter air barrier, and you'll get the same R-value with fewer inches of the stuff, so you'll have extra room overhead.

FORT WORTH, TX - NOVEMBER 06: Matt Kenseth, driver of the #16 CitiFinancial Ford, stands on pit road during qualifying for the NASCAR Nationwide Series O'Reilly Challenge at Texas Motor Speedway on November 6, 2009 in Fort Worth, Texas. (Photo by John Harrelson/Getty Images for NASCAR)
Matt Kenseth knew that he had a front-running car Sunday. It was simply a matter of getting there. So when a caution flag came out with several leaders on pit road, and Kenseth found himself leading the pack into the pits, he had a feeling things were going his way. ''That was the key,'' he would say later. Kenseth won the race off pit road after taking two tires under caution, and a No. 20 Toyota that had been strong all day slowly pulled away. Kasey Kahne trimmed into the lead once he moved into second, but Kenseth managed to block every move he tried to make. Kahne pulled alongside him entering Turn 4 with the white flag flying, but Kenseth pulled back ahead along the front stretch and then cruised to the win at Kansas Speedway. ''When it was in front, we knew it was really fast,'' Kenseth said after his second straight win at the track. ''And if we could get out there first, we'd be tough to beat.'' It was the third straight win from the pole in the Sprint Cup series. Ji...

Banner day: Jazz raise banner for Hall of Fame coach Jerry Sloan into the rafters
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — For a day — a wonderfully nostalgic, smile-evoking, heartwarming, eardrum-pounding, misty-eyed day — the gang was together again.
Jerry Sloan. John Stockton. Karl Malone.
There were standing ovations, raucous cheering, some boos at referees, exciting moments on the court.
On this night, the arena felt like the Delta Center again.
Fittingly, it now has another name from that era in the rafters.
Almost three years after his surprising resignation, a banner with Sloan's name was elevated into the vicinity of signs that honor legendary Jazz figures Pete Maravich, Frank Layden, Darrell Griffith, Mark Eaton, Jeff Hornacek, Larry H. Miller, Hot Rod Hundley, Adrian Dantley, Stockton and Malone.
"It's a real honor," Sloan said, "to be just mentioned in the same breath with all of those guys."
Once the Jazz finally convinced Sloan to let them honor him — and it took some serious convincing — the organization brainstormed putting "1223" on the banner that was raised to the rafters during Friday night's touching ceremony.
Sloan, often as witty as he is tough and gruff, explained his interpretation of that number's significance at a pregame press conference.
"I thought," he said, "that's how many technical fouls I had."
The NBA doesn't have an accurate figure for just how many times Sloan was T'd up in his long coaching career, but, fortunately for his bank account, it wasn't nearly that high.
The number on the banner was the Jazz franchise's way of thanking the Hall of Fame coach for his 23 years as head coach, for his significant role in team history and for the 1,223 victories he racked up with Utah from Dec. 9, 1998 through Feb. 9, 2011.
"I've been blessed," Sloan said.
That's how so many in the Utah community, the Jazz organization, the NBA and around the sports world feel about Sloan's career.
That grateful group included a packed arena of loud and energetic fans, Stockton, Malone, Mehmet Okur, Bryon Russell, Howard Eisley, John Crotty, Thurl Bailey and Mark Eaton, and even President Barack Obama.
That's right. The world's most powerful Chicago sports fan sent a handwritten letter to "The Original Bull" on stationery from the White House.
"Dear Coach —
Congratulations on your long and remarkable career with the Jazz. Utah justly honors you for the standards of excellence you set with the Mailman and Stockton. But, us Bulls fans still claim you for your grit and work ethic.
Best of luck in the future. With great admiration,
Barack Obama"
Throughout the Jazz's game against the Warriors, pre-recorded congratulatory wishes were shared from the likes of coaches Gregg Popovich, Doc Rivers, Rick Adelman and Lenny Wilkens to former (friendly) foes Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley, Sloan's personally selected Hall of Fame presenter.
"My only regret," Barkley said, "is you know how good you would've been if you'd only had a real power forward like me?"
ESA erupted in laughter as that played during a break in action. One of many standing ovations ensued when The Mailman, with a big smile, was shown on the video screens.

Memoirs of a German Childhood
Joachim Fest
Translated by Martin Chalmers
Other Press, $16.95, 464 pp.
In Berlin on the evening of December 5, 1930, Nazi brownshirts staged an assault on Weimar democracy. Their target was not this or that political rival, but rather a movie theater—the one premiering All Quiet on the Western Front, Lewis Milestone's adaptation of the bestselling Erich Maria Remarque novel that had drawn the ire of Nazi Gauleiter Joseph Goebbels for its denunciation of war. Many Germans considered Remarque a traitor for revealing the German army's cynical disregard for life. Yet his novel invited readers to share the lives of ordinary German soldiers suffering in the trenches of World War I; war itself was the enemy, and readers were meant to empathize with a lost generation, regardless of nationality.
Joachim Fest's memoir invites similar acts of sympathy. Fest (1926–2006), one of Germany's most respected historians and publishers, was a veteran of WWII, and readers of Not I will share his grief over the loss of young friends. This is an important service, as little in American popular culture has done for WWII what Remarque's novel did for the prior war. Remarque himself did contribute a post-WWII novel—A Time to Love and a Time to Die—later made into a movie by the German-born American director Douglas Sirk. The impression it gives is of...

Call of Duty teaser video shows a TV with a grainy picture
A Call of Duty teaser video has appeared on the game's official YouTube channel. Many speculate it has something to do with zombies for Black Ops 2, which Treyarch has teased, hinted at, dangled, and sort of confirmed on and off since the game was announced. Zombies are going to part of the game somehow, now, whether that is just in multiplayer, or single-player, or hell, both, remains to be seen for now. Keep hope alive, etc. Enjoy the tease for whatever it is below.

Lox I Gels (Jellied Salmon)

Upload Your Photo
- 2 pounds fresh salmon fillets (or more)
- 4 cups cold water
- 2-1/4 teaspoons salt (or less)
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 whole allspice berries
- 3 to 4 fresh dill sprigs
- 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
- 6 tablespoons cold water
- Hard-boiled eggs and more fresh dill, to garnish
Instructions:Wipe the salmon fillets with a clean, damp cloth. Place them in a heavy saucepan with the water, salt, bay leaf, allspice, and dill. Bring to a boil and skim off any foam that forms on the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 10 to 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when pierced with a fork.
Carefully remove the fish from the broth. Remove any skin and bones. Flake with a fork to make uniform-size pieces. Place the salmon in a 4-cup mold.
Strain the broth through cheesecloth so the jelly will be as clear as crystal when cold. Pour 3 cups of the strained broth into a clean saucepan and bring to a boil. Dissolve the gelatin in the 6 tablespoons of cold water. Add to the heated broth. Pour over the fish and add a few sprigs of dill.
Chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. When you are ready to serve, unmold onto a serving platter and garnish with sliced hard-boiled eggs and fresh dill. Serve with vinegar.

The barriers Hispanic farmers face in starting and expanding farming operations in the United States includes the lingering effects of past government discrimination, current marketing and use of information, and their own agricultural traditions. Both the government and the farmers see the need for improvement, but reaching the end goal is a challenge. NET News and Harvest Public Media reporter Clay Masters reports and produces "Hispanic Farmers on Broken Ground." The television documentary features Nebraska Hispanic farm owners, the author of a report on the current state of Hispanic farm ownership in the state, Hispanic students involved in a youth farming organization, as well as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. The documentary aims to examine the obstacles currently facing Hispanic farmers in the Midwest and across the country, as well as look ahead to possible solutions for the future.

Seth Harwood is the author of Jack Wakes Up. He lives in San Francisco.
Seth Harwood grew up in the Boston area, graduated from the Iowa Writers' Workshop in 2002 and currently lives in Berkeley, CA with his wife Joelle and their dog. He teaches writing and literature at Stanford University and the City College of San Francisco.
In 2005, about a month after getting married, Seth and Joelle landed in San Francisco, where he started writing Jack Wakes Up. After almost 9 months of working on the novel, he decided he was ready to podcast it. In July 2006, the Jack Palms Crime Podcast Series was born. As JACK WAKES UP was followed by A LONG WAY FROM DISNEY, JACK PALMS II: THIS IS LIFE, and JACK PALMS 3: CZECHMATE, his podcast audience grew into a sizeable world-wide following, as covered by the San Francisco Chronicle here.
When Breakneck Books published JACK WAKES UP in March 2008, Seth's online audience (the Palms Daddies and Palms Mommas) jumped all over Amazon.com and bought enough copies to raise the book to #1 in Crime/Mystery and #45 overall in books.
JACK WAKES UP was subsequently purchased by THREE RIVERS PRESS (Random House) and will be re-released on May 5th 2009--Cinco de Harwood. It has already received rave reviews from Publisher's Weekly, Michael Connelly, and will soon be featured in the New York Times Book Review.
Seth's other jobs have included commodities floor trading clerk, bartender, copy-editor for Avon Products, rare book cataloguer, librarian, English teacher, and freelance journalist.
His stories have been published in Post Road, Ecotone, Inkwell, Sojourn: A Journal of the Arts, and The Red Rock Review, among others, as well as in the online journals Storyglossia and zeek.net. His story White" was nominated for a Pushcart prize.

Businesses apply for new hurricane-grant program
Published: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 at 10:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 at 11:26 a.m.
HOUMA -- More than 100 small-business owners and representatives are expected to attend a Wednesday meeting designed to help them apply for the states newest grant-and-loan program.
The Small Firm Loan and Grant Program is the states newest endeavor. It gives grants up to $20,000 and no-interest loans up to $250,000 to hurricane-damaged small businesses.
The program has $100 million to spend on the grants and $38 million to direct toward loans. Depending on the type of loan given, businesses will have up to seven years to pay back the money.
Deadline for applications is Feb. 16.
Wednesdays meeting starts at 6 p.m. at South Terrebonne High School, 3879 La. 24, in Bourg.
State and local officials will give a presentation. Theyll also be available to answer questions and walk people through the application process.
The program is a product of the Louisiana Recovery Authority, the agency in charge of federal hurricane-recovery money.
If you cant make it to Wednesdays meeting, the program has a center at the South Central Planning and Development Commission, 5058 W. Main St., in Gray.
Commercial fishermen should be able to get money from this new program, Kandy Theriot, Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce president, said.
Although some fishermen received federal money to fix their homes, theyve been left out of most business-recovery programs, she said.
"I think this is the first time that theyve really fit in to a small-business category," she said. "This is their way of life, and they need to have the money to repair their boats to get them back on the water."
Not all fishermen will be eligible, said Tanner Magee, program manager at South Central Planning, but hes processing their applications because another grant program, specifically geared to fishermen, has been flooded with requests.
South Central Planning is handling applications for the Back-to-the-Docks grant program. That fishermen-focused program has $20 million for 45 grants across the states coast. Magee said South Central Planning got about 500 applications for those 45 slots.
Not only will fishermen be able to get questions answered at Wednesdays meeting, Magee said, but its also a good time for businesses to tell state officials what kinds of problems theyre running into.
Business owner Diana Tregle said shes not sure if shell make it to Wednesdays meeting. Tregle said she is going to apply for a grant and a loan for her Thibodaux-based business -- Zams Swamp Tours, Gift Shop and Restaurant.
Tregle said shes concerned the money may still not revive her business. She said the biggest problem has been a slump in international tourists.
But, Tregle said, shes applying to the program with cautious optimism.
"It looks a lot easier on first glance," she said. "But once you start getting into the paperwork and going through the process, then you start realizing the qualifications narrow it. Its not as easy anymore."
To qualify for the program, a business must have been open at least six months before the storms and have reopened or can show it has potential to reopen. A business has to have less than 50 employees. Single-employee businesses are eligible if they sell tangible goods such as clothing.
For many businesses in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, owners will have to prove they had at least $10,000 in hurricane damage and lost at least 30 percent of regular revenue after the storms compared to the previous year, Magee said.
