While Kareena deserves praises for managing to do two big films at one go, it is the Khans who have shown lots of maturity by adjusting their shooting schedules!

Bobby in the Bool
Bobby Flynn has shaken off the Australian Idol tag and is forging ahead with his own music
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Bobby Flynn came to the attention of most people via the TV talent show Australian Idol, but unlike many of those who've been through the Idol ringer, he's managed to maintain and build on his musical career and is doing it on his own terms.
In this interview, he talks frankly about his Idol experience and how it's contributed to where he is now.
Prior to appearing on the show, Bobby was working at various cafes and venues in Brisbane including The Tivoli.
He recalls being called into work one day while a TV crew were there filming a show called 'Rockstar Supernova' for the Fox network.
Some of the crew asked him if he could sing, and next thing he knew he was signing a clearance sheet and was auditioning for the show.
Nothing eventuated from his audition for 'Rockstar Supernova' but some of the people involved with that show had also been involved with Idol, and insisted Bobby talk to the producers there.
Despite being opposed to the concept, Bobby found himself chatting to the executive producer of Idol, and after an hour and a half on the phone had been talked around to auditioning.
Unlike what we see on the TV, Bobby wasn't subjected to having to queue up to audition - as he says 'part of the pathway was greased' and his ticket to being part of the show was pretty much assured.
Generally he seems quite pleased with what happened and how he progressed through the series - he enjoyed being able to shake things up somewhat, although he's glad he left when he did because the remaining singers were becoming a little too homogenous in the hands of the same team of musicians and vocal directors.
There's no doubting the seriousness of the Idol team though, and it's alarming to hear him talking about a producer on the show advising him not to 'dislocate his audience' at this early point in his career after he suggested doing a bossa nova version of 'superfreak'.
Bobby ignored the advice and his cover went on to become one of the hits of the show that season.
He seems to have been able to keep the Australian Idol experience at arms length, and having broken away from the show is now forging ahead without being too heavily branded by being a part of it all.
He says it gave him confidence to trust his inner voice, and there are certainly some business aspects of the experience which he's taken on board as well.
For Bobby, Idol was a moment in his career - a vehicle which he used to launch himself, and he draws comparisons with the Motown approach of having a group of people working with artists to create a complete package.
In a sharp contrast to Idol's idea of instant nationwide fame, after leaving the show Bobby turned to what he describes as being a very mid 80's approach and hit the road, performing something like 120 shows around the country in one year.
More recently he's moved to Melbourne and is now concentrating on his song writing, trying to get in touch with his muse.
He hasn't allowed himself to relax too much - even though he has a young family in tow, he's still working hard playing around the country to build his audience.
As he says, 'meeting the audience is the key - that's what it's all about'.

How to understand building and planning regulations
What are planning and building controls? Why do they exist? Can you deal with them yourself or is it best to ask a specialist? As with any task, you can decide for yourself when you know exactly what's involved.
First of all, it's important to understand what planning and building regulations are. It's easy to think of them as restrictive, bureaucratic tools put in place purely to thwart your ambitions. However, they're essential safety mechanisms which have been designed to protect you, your neighbours and the local environment.
The regulatory bodies will give you permission to carry out your plans unless there are very good reasons not to - in which case they must explain their decision. And if you disagree, you have the right to appeal against it.
Moving on up - Things to keep in mind when converting your loft
If you're currently struggling for a space in your home then look up. With careful planning, imagination and a little help, your loft could be an exciting place, giving you valuable extra space to the home you love.

Romney Team Provides Details on Tax Options
Romney Addresses Tax Cuts
Earlier this week, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney floated the idea of possibly capping tax deductions at $17,000 as a way to complement his plan to lower tax rates for all Americans. Now aides are offering more information about his idea.
There are essentially three different "buckets" in this proposal, according to a campaign aide. It's important to note that the Romney campaign hasn't fully endorsed this idea and they are studying it in addition to other possibilities. With that caveat, here's the possible plan:
Bucket 1 – Deduction cap. Limit the itemized deductions and exclusions middle-class Americans can claim at $17,000, and a lesser amount for upper-income Americans. That means that the combined amount of the annual tax deduction an American household could claim on things like mortgage interest, charitable contributions, and state and local taxes would be $17,000. They could adjust that $17,000 figure higher or lower depending on what is needed to balance the proposed cut in tax rates.
Bucket 2 – Personal exemptions. This would be an unspecified limit on the personal exemptions people could claim. In other words, there could be a cap that prevents a household with three children from claiming more than a set amount. This could vary based on income, though the details haven't been decided.
Bucket 3 – Health care. This one is less concrete. The tax break for employers' contributions for health care and health insurance premiums is the single biggest tax break, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Mr. Romney suggested on Monday that health insurance premiums could be included in the $17,000 bucket, but aides are saying that's actually not the case. Instead, health-care tax treatment could be dealt with in one of several ways.
There could be a separate cap on the amount of exclusions Americans could take for their health insurance premiums and employers' contributions. Or there could be a credit each American or household gets to offset these costs. Or the tax-exempt health-insurance system could be left as is.
The Obama campaign has criticized the proposal and said it would lead to a tax increase on the middle class, something the Romney campaign has denied. "Give him credit – he is now admitting that middle-class tax increases on housing, health care and charitable deductions are on the table," said Adam Fetcher, a spokesman for the Obama campaign. "But regardless of the twists and turns, Governor Romney has never been able to explain how he will pay for his $5 trillion tax plan without raising middle-class taxes."

So ladies I had to share this strange experience I had yesterday:
As some of you may know from my last post (it's perfectly OK if you don't because I post every once in a while, lol) but the father of my child is no longer in the picture so I guess you can consider me single, not that I am looking for a man ANY time soon...this baby is my life as well as my military career, finishing school and then making buku bucks, lol. Plus I'm showing and I feel big as a house, no where near attractive to the opposite sex
Anywho, I had a guy in one of my university classes talk to me last night. Him and a few classmates were going out to a near-by restaurant to eat and me being the nice, social classmate I am, I joined them. Long story short, he developed a liking to me and tried to ask me for a date after asking if I was seeing anyone. I refused but after he pushed the date thing for a while and me realizing he probably thinks I'm just a chubby chick and not pregnant, I informed him that I'm 5 months preggo with my ex's baby. I expected that to shut him down but nope! Actually then it got weird and he admitted that he always wanted to know what it felt like to sleep with a pregnant woman and then asked me again for a date!!! WTF??!?! I've heard about some men being attracted to pregnant women but I thought it was usually the father of the child that gets all hot and bothered by their knocked-up lady with that whole primal pride of being the one who did that to us....not complete strangers, lol.
Even today as I walked through my local Home Depot to pick up things for the nursery with a tight shirt that proudly displays my bump, I got whistled at twice and cat-called. Pre-pregnancy I might get a few looks but nothing close to the frequency and aggresive as now.
So ladies, I gotta ask if with this pregnancy or any other previous ones if random men say or do these things to you whether it be them just saying how attractive they find you or the full-fledge creepiness of taking it to the next level and trying to "get" with you because of your pregnany. I say "get" in any sense of that word whether it's a date, relationship, or some kind of sexual interaction with you.

Proven Guilty: Book Eight of the
Published April 2007 (
528 pages.
Review by Mark Yon/Hobbit.
Please note: I last reviewed Harry Dresden in August 2008 with Dead Beat.
For the record, please read the ever-lengthening list of other reviews first:
(Book One (Storm Front) review here; http://www.sffworld.com/brevoff/219.html ; Book Two (Fool Moon) review here: http://www.sffworld.com/brevoff/232.html ) Book Three (Grave Peril) (link here: http://www.sffworld.com/brevoff/243.html ), Book Four, Summer Knight (link here: http://www.sffworld.com/brevoff/281.html), Book Five, Death Masks (here: http://www.sffworld.com/brevoff/416.html );
Book Six, Blood Rites (here: http://www.sffworld.com/brevoff/419.html ) and
Book Seven, Dead Beat (here: http://www.sffworld.com/brevoff/473.html ) as there are spoilers here.)
To the task, then. Book 8 takes place about a year after the events of Book 7.
I mentioned in my review of Dead Beat that the series seemed to have reached a renewal point, and that things had stepped up a gear there. Proven Guilty is a definite step up, in terms of plot complexity and pace. It is here that the war (between the wizard White Council and the vampire
Consequently, the Harry here is a very different one from the one first encountered in Storm Front. More experienced, yet also a bitter and crippled Harry, a Harry with secrets and a darkness which threatens his life, or at least his sanity. He also feels conflicted by being conscripted to be a Warden, where the line between good and evil are clearly blurred. At the beginning of Proven Guilty Harry feels uncomfortable with the killing of a young man who has been involved with black magic. Reminding Harry of his own past, though the execution is perhaps deserved, Harry is clearly feeling a case of divided loyalties.
This theme continues through the book. The main plot lines this time around are quite convoluted. Firstly, Harry has been asked to go to the Nevernever (Faerieland) to contact his relative, Queen Mab, and ask for reasons why Winter has stayed apart from the War. The faerie Summer Court has stepped in by declaring war on the
Of course, these things are never simple. Harry risks his life by doing so as his earlier encounters in the NeverNever meant that Harry is at great risk by visiting. Just to keep things further complicated, there's also possibly a traitor in the White Council giving the vamps information. Harry is asked by the Gatekeeper to investigate a series of black magic acts in
Harry has furthermore been asked to help out terrible teen Molly. The daughter of Michael Carpenter, Harry's friend and Knight of the Sword (as well as Harry's goddaughter) she seems to have got herself entangled with a boyfriend who is accused of a murder he and Molly claims he didn't commit. The only problem with that denial is that he was the only person in the room where an old man was viciously and messily murdered. Harry suspects a supernatural cause, but is going to have difficulty proving it. Thus, as you can see, there's an awful lot in the mix there this time around.
What fans of the series will like is that there are major revelations about characters that we know about from previous books, the re-appearance of Karrin's ex-husband, a resolution of sorts to the complicated Harry/Karrin relationship, and major implications for Harry's future.
There's also Jim's trademark humour. Jim sets many of the initial scenes at a horror convention called Splattercon!!! (evidently the three exclamation marks are important) where a phage appears, which feeds on other people's fear. Where else to get lots of fear but at a Horror Convention? The humour plays an effective counterpoint to some of the darker events here, by throwing them into sharp relief. It's an old trick, but it seems to work.
The characterisation is as good as ever, with some nicely done developments that fans will generally like. Some may be a little less loved however. For me I did feel at one point that (without giving major plot lines away, I hope!) we were creating Dresden: the Next Generation. I can see some grumbles that although the story is bigger, much of this greater picture does appear to be caused by beginning future stories than actually resolving this one.
My other gripe is that the ending of the main plot, before the 100 page coda at the end, was a little too convenient. I do think Jim stretched it a little too thin there, but then that might be the old cynic in me protesting.
Despite my grievances, the last 100 pages tie the rest of the book up fairly well. At the resolution Harry is again stronger and wiser for his experiences, as well as having made some difficult lifestyle changes that will no doubt be explored further in later books. This is another page-turning read that will keep fans very happy, and leave them wanting to go straight to the next.
In homage to my reviews of previous books, here are the key themes in short: generally more continued goodness this time around. More Carpenters, more Mouse, less Mister, more Karrin, more complicated personal life for Harry, more vampires, less polka, less dinosaur, more Nevernever, and more BIG duels.
Onto Book Nine!

The author suggests that a best practice for B2B customer satisfaction research should include two parallel systems: ongoing telephone interviews and periodic in-depth surveys.
Editor's note: John Coldwell is managing director, U.K., of InfoQuest CRM Ltd., a Huddersfield, U.K., research company. He can be reached at email@example.com. This article appeared in the April 8, 2013, edition of Quirk's e-newsletter.
B2B research is its own animal and those conducting B2B customer satisfaction research would be wise to understand how it's different from consumer research and what its purpose is.
First, remember that statistical validity is not important for a typical B2B customer satisfaction survey the same way it would be for B2C. Key account managers are already - or should already be - managing the relationships with customers so the survey cannot exist in a vacuum. Additionally, the number of respondents (read: customers) is small compared with B2C and each customer - and its needs - are unique. Therefore, finding a representative sample becomes less crucial.
When conducting B2B customer satisfaction research, consider obtaining feedback using two parallel systems. The first approach is a regular, event-based telephone call from your own staff to the customers at an appropriate time following the delivery of your products and services. This is to make sure that all went well and allows knowledgeable people to sort out any issues as quickly as possible. This phase of the research is aimed at the recipients of your products and services who may or may not be the decision makers.
The second approach is an occasional (every 12-to-24 months), in-depth survey of the decision makers to address all your systems, disciplines and procedures. The survey should seek out any "people" issues in your organization, as opposed to product or service issues identified via the telephone surveys.
While the two phases of the research are different in methodology and sample, the raison d'être for any B2B customer satisfaction survey should be to increase profitable sales. Using a dual-system approach, potential increases will come from three channels.
1. Reduced customer churn
Identifying individual dissatisfied customers and finding out what contributed to the dissatisfaction allows you to do something about it.
2. Selling more to existing customers
Using share-of-wallet or percentage penetration figures will help identify key customers who could and should be spending more.
3. Increased prices
Customers who love you will, by definition, understand and value your company's contribution to their success. If you go the extra mile and your customer knows (and values) that, then you can take advantage of the opportunity to raise prices.

Whose initial do you put in the wax seal of a wedding invitation? The bride's current initial or her married one? Parents are paying for the wedding.
Usually wedding invitations are sent from the parents hosting the wedding, so I would have to say that if you are going to put your initials they would be yours prior to being married.
Just a word of warning, unless you are hand delivering your wedding invitations, I would advise against using wax seals.
Although I do LOVE the look and feel of wax seals, most modern day postal processing equipment are not favorable to protruding wax seals and I would be afraid that they would be ripped off (and therefore your invitations would be ripped as well).
If you have your heart set on wax seals, do a test run first sent to yourself to see how they fair first.

Avoid awkward situations with the neighbour's slurry by making your nutrient plan now for '13
Published 19/12/2012 | 06:00
Management of fertiliser plans and limits is crucial to ensuring that you minimise fertiliser costs and avoid penalties on your single farm payment (SFP).
Next spring's workload will be much higher than normal given very little winter corn has been sown and soil conditions are so wet that ploughing will be delayed.
With less work than normal on most tillage farms, you have no excuse for not doing up your records for 2012 now and preparing your fertiliser plan for 2013.
The fact the winter corn area is down on many farms will mean that farm nitrogen limits, under the regulations, will also be reduced.
In addition, if you have a livestock enterprise and had to increase concentrate feeding in 2012, your phosphorus allowance will also be reduced for 2013. Copies of the regulations may be obtained from the Department of Agriculture or by doing a Google search for SI 610 of 2010.
If you are importing slurry or other organic material, the available nitrogen and total phosphorus content of those materials must be calculated and taken from the farm's limit before the amount of chemical fertiliser can be calculated. This can be a problem unless planned well in advance.
It is very difficult to refuse to take slurry from a neighbour who discovers at the last minute that he is over his limit and asks you to take slurry from him.
You can easily end up exceeding your own limits for this year or eating into next year's allocation. Therefore, plan your slurry imports now.
If you have a neighbour who may want you to take slurry, you should ask him for a commitment now to offer you the slurry before you finalise your plan for 2013. At the very least, agree that he will not knock on your door as the deadline for spreading draws close.
The calculation for a tillage farm in long-term tillage, with no break crop or slurry, is straightforward.
The nitrogen limit, assuming no bonus yield, is 180kg/ha for winter wheat and 135kg/ha for spring barley.
Therefore, if you had 40ha (100ac) of winter wheat in 2012, your nitrogen limit was 7,200kgs (180 x 40), giving you a limit of 26.18t of 27.5pc nitrogen. If you switch to spring barley in 2013, your limit will be reduced to 5,400kg (40 x 135), giving you a limit of 19.6t of 27.5pc nitrogen.
You must keep an eye on your phosphorus limit too. It is determined by your soil phosphorus test results, or, in the absence of soil results, Index 3 for the land which gives a phosphorus allowance of 25kg/ha (no bonus yield).
Therefore, a farm with 40ha of soil in Index 3 for winter or spring cereals will have a phosphorus allocation of 1,000kg, giving a limit of 20t of a 5pc phosphorous product such as 16.5.20.
The nitrogen content of the 16.5.20 will have to be taken from the tonnes of 27.5pc nitrogen specified above, resulting in a limit after 20t of 16.5.20 for winter cereals of 14.5t of 27.5pc nitrogen or 8t for spring barley.
Limits on nitrogen will be lower on farms where fresher land is ploughed or where break crops are part of the rotation. Phosphorus allowances will vary depending on the soil test results.
In relation to records for 2012, it is important to record closing stocks of fertiliser as these become opening stocks for 2013 and will have to be deducted from planned purchases.
Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV).
Monitoring of aphid numbers at 11 locations throughout the country by ITCA members revealed that movement of aphids into crops continued into the last weekend in November, but there has been very little activity since then.
Crops sprayed within the previous two or three weeks should be relatively safe. From now on, data on movement of aphids will play a vital role in deciding whether further insecticide is required.

A single album, inherited from his late father, led disc jockey Max Reinhardt to rediscover his Jewish musical roots. The recording was "Mish Mosh," by comedian and klezmer clarinetist Mickey Katz: "He does a version of Dean Martin's 'That's Amore' as 'That's Morris,' which my father, Morris, was forever playing for his Jewish friends," Reinhardt, 52, recalled from London. "As a kid, I took in the jokes, but I couldn't help but notice the stuff Katz played at lightning speed in the middle that had nothing to do with Dean Martin."
As he spun the disc in '93, Reinhardt -- known for bringing world music to London's club scene -- was riveted by Katz's wild but precise klezmer breaks. So began a journey that brings him to Los Angeles this month to perform with a Jewish world music band, Dis/Orient.
The group is among a dozen acts to appear in Zeitgeist: The Harry and Belle Krupnick International Jewish Arts Festival, which kicks off at the Skirball Cultural Center Aug. 10-28 and continues in winter 2004. Unprecedented in the United States, the festival spotlights Europeans who draw on Jewish tradition to create edgy, contemporary work. Artists include Polish filmmaker Agnieszka Holland (see below), the jazz-infused Cracow Klezmer Band and the quirky Danish dance company, Rosenzweig.
The program -- along with Los Angeles Yiddishkayt Festival -- should help place Los Angeles in the forefront of a Jewish cultural Renaissance that began with the klezmer music revival of the 1970s.
Zeitgeist began in 2001 when Skirball program director Jordan Peimer set off on a series of research trips to find performers to bring back to the Skirball. In a Paris underground club, he discovered Les Yeux Noirs, a band that combines klezmer and Gypsy strains. In a theater in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, he encountered the Jewish director of the multicultural Ilkhom Theatre. In a London cafe, he met with Reinhardt, who described how Katz's brilliant album ultimately led him to collaborate with a another kind of Jewish virtuoso, Sephardic grandmaster Maurice El Medioni.
An impressed Peimer raised approximately $1.2 million (including a $300,000 grant from the Harry and Belle Krupnick Endowment Fund of the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles) toward a festival dedicated to the cutting-edge European artists.
"Jews feel much more like 'the other' outside the United States, which is reflected in their work," he said. "The attitude is, 'I've got this interesting story to tell and chances are, you haven't heard it." Reinhardt and Dis/Orient do just that by blending El Medioni's Algerian Rai music, Sephardic Andalusian sounds and hip-hop-infused klezmer.
"We're showing that Jewish culture belongs not just at bar mitzvahs, but within the burgeoning roots and world music market," he said.
Zeitgeist begins with a family festival Aug. 10. For information, call (310) 440-4500; for tickets call (323) 655-8587.

The toilet/shower was very small but it proved effective, although the building could use some maintainance according to the smell that sometimes came from the sewage.
The tram was closeby on the Mannerheimintie and lines 2 or 4 took us to downtown in a few minutes, making it a good place to discover Helsinki during the weekend. So it was ok.
Die Wohnung ist vom Flughafen aus gut per Bahn oder Bus erreichbar. Tram und Bus liegen ca. 3 Gehminuten entfernt.
Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet und äußerst ansprechend eingerichtet.
Gleich gegenüber besteht die Möglichkeit Einkäufe zu erledigen. Ins Zentrum (Bahnhof) kommt man mit der Tram in 8 bis 10 Minuten.
Die Wände sind etwas hellhörig, sonst gibt es nichts daran auszusetzen.
Die Wohnung ist sehr geschmackvoll und schick eingerichtet, Design eben, etwas anderes. Lage ist super, da gleich an der Tram Nr 3 mit der man durch die ganze Innenstadt kommt. Auch für vier und mit Kindern genügend Platz, Bad immer nur für einen, aber ok. Allerdings müsste man die Wohnung mal gründlich putzen, das war nicht ganz so schön.

David Pick: Source: Pooh Jeter, though flattered, declined an offer from ASVEL and Tony Parker.
Pooh Jeter RumorsAll NBA Players
The road that separates Pooh Jeter and Turkish team Galatasaray is now too long. The point guard is coming back to China to finalize a contract extension with Chinese team Shandong Lions for the fourth consecutive season, source told Sportando. At the end of the CBA, Pooh Jeter's contract expired and GM for Shandong declared not to have the intention to keep him because of his age, but in the last days he suddenly changed his mind and started to work on an extension that now is very close. Jeter is absolutely respected and considered like a leader in China. He will sign another important contract and will try to push the team to the CBA playoffs.
We witnessed the developments in Ukraine with Fratello and Volkov's departure in the foreground. The first question that comes to mind is whether he will compete in the upcoming Eurobasket with the national team of Ukraine. Pooh Jeter: "I'm not going to play with the national team this summer. One reason is that Fratello and Volkov are not on the team. The last two summers were great. It was a great chance for me to help a team that hadn't achieved something major to play well in a Eurobasket and qualify to a World Cup. I have a history with the team since 2008 and I've been through a lot with all the guys there. I remember that most people had predicted that we would be last in the rankings.
What does the future hold for you? Is your priority to stay in Europe or to return to China? Pooh Jeter: "I will sit and look at my options with my agent B.J. Armstrong when the season is over. It's a very possible scenario that I sign with Shandong and return to China. It will be my 4th season there. I started my professional career in Europe, the last few summers I played against the best point guards in the world and I showed what I'm capable of. I was opposite players like Irving, Derrick Rose, Goran Dragic, all the top Spanish guards and all the top European players in general.
After finishing his successful tour of duty in China, Pooh Jeter is ready to return to Europe with a deal until the end of the season. The American guard has a lot of European offers on the table, but according to Eurohoops sources his most advanced discussions are with Limoges in France. If Jeter were to finalize the deal, it would clearly be one of the bigger name, end-of-season signings in Europe this year, and a major boost to the title hopes of one of the most respected teams in the French League.
Marc J. Spears: Ex-NBA point guard @Pooh Jeter returns from playing in China to his hometown of LA on Tuesday night & hopes to return to the NBA this season. Pooh Jeter played well against several NBA guards this past summer playing for Ukraine in the World Cup averaging 15.4 points & 5 assists.

In today's world of 'spending on credit', many people can find themselves at a point where they have so much debt and such large interest repayments, that they can't even imagine a way out. With credit card interest rates the way they are, its very easy to be paying hundreds of dollars a month on interest alone!
Now some of you may have heard of credit card balance transfers as a way to help with this, or in particular the offers that come with these transfers. A balance transfer is the mechanism by which you can move the amount owing on one credit card to another. The offers that come with these are generally such things as a very low interest rate on the balanced moved, for a period of time (usually 6 or 12 months). As such, if you have a very large balance on your credit card you can move this from a large interest rate on one card (for example 25%) to a low interest rate on another, something on the order of 5%, or even 0% on some offers!
Now these offers are really a great idea for someone who is trying to reduce the amount of debt that they have, as while paying off the same amount each month more of it is going to the actual debt than was before (because less interest has to be payed!). However, you must be careful when doing this as there are some very common pitfalls which must be watched out for!

US: Advert for anti LGBT church, shown during new gay TV show
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
not suprised, after all its america
Raping children is ok too acording to the church .
So, the church can have a say what is on TV now?
Warped, deluded people, still trying to push across a message of hate.
Bit like Iraq which is trying to ban the emo/rocker image, saying its destroying the country. No… just trying to bring it into the 21st century!
There are LGBT Christians, too
No big problem, people watching the show are not likely to be interested in the church, so it's waste of their money at that time.
Yes, better for their claptrap to fall on stony ground.
Broadly correct, although of course some of the bigots will no doubt have forced themselves to watch the show so that they could then complain about the "offensive" content, Flanders-style. Not that the adverts will have changed their warped views either, of course.
I agree. I rub my hands every time one of these Christian bigots embarks on legal action or appeal over a decision made against them. They have deep pockets but it all eats away at their finances.
TV adverts for CHURCHES? What kind of weird place is America? You simply don't have anything of the kind in the civilized world…
Is it really any stranger than TV adverts for Internet Explorer 9, something they could advertise somewhere else like, oh I dunnno, they could try the internet?
In the civilised world churches have better things to spend vast amounts of money on, maintaining their often beautiful buildings for example. There appears to be little conflict with God and Mammon in the US, in fact all too often they seem to be the same entity.
That is religion for you. Why spend the churches money on the needy and poor when there is so much gay bashing to be done.
Welcome to the South.
They are simply desperate since they know every day leaves the church somewhere and the rest are dying !!!
….. …..It is imperative that those with religious conviction like that of Delegate Burns, must never be allowed any position of power that does not have the most stringent guidelines to a point of almost strangling th"I am requesting that you take the necessary action, as a National Football League at power. These xtians seem to me to be getting even more arrogant in their demands recently. American politics has become, for all and intents and purposes a farce, with the political hopefuls competing with each other, not to prove that their policies are better then the other dudes, but how christian they are and the changes they will make if ya'll would jus vote for us, ya'll, ye hear! We will roll back America and when we get settled in the rest of they heathen world back to the time of Jesus, yall" I paraphrase with what would look to the casual reader
…tongue in cheek, but believe you me, these are the type of people that are fighting hard to get into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave at the moment. This is the state of the GOP, the Republican Party of the USA at the present time. The Tea Baggers are in the ascendancy in the States and the entire world will rue the day they are elected, should that tragically be the case come the November Elections. If you thought there couldn't possibly be worse than George W. Bush. I have news for you. A man who wears magic underwear and expects to be given his own planet when he dies, is lets face it, one vote away from becoming the de facto leader of the free world never mind the USA…… The attitude such as that of Burns and the dude who opined that women could turn off becoming pregnant from rape is reinforced by similar conviction in ancient books dictated by illiterate desert goat herds. Mitt Romneys Book of Mormon was dictated by aliens and written on golden plates, cont.
……and buried in a hillside in upper New York, and "translated" by the illiterate Joseph Smith, by putting a rock in his hat, putting his face in the hat and reading parchment texts that then appeared in the hat in front of his face, while he hid behind a curtain so the scribe mustn't set eyes on the "plates" This is the basis of Mitt Romneys faith and is what he believes as a Mormon. He wants to ban gays from the military, ban abortion, even for rape, he wants creationism taught in science classes, no women in politics, conscription reinstated, abolish all state sponsored medical plans like Obamacare, Blue Cross, and Medicaid etc. he wants to raise by 30% the lowest rate of tax and to reduce the top rate by 32%…work it out for yourself. This is the crowd that are within a hairs breadth of winning the American elections in November…….

Italy's Architectural Wonders
Richard Meier's new museum in Rome is leading the trend of the modern in a country steeped in history
Slide Show >>
Italy has always been a top destination for anyone wanting to see wonders of architecture. It's home to innovative structures, built during ancient times, whose design still inspires awe: the Pantheon's elegant dome with its great oculus, for example, or the massive Colosseum -- the prototype for all sports stadia today.
Now, fans of contemporary architecture will notice that some of the world's most high-profile architects, from London's Zaha Hadid to Dutch design powerhouse Rem Koolhaas, are increasingly turning their sights to Italy. On April 21, 2006, a new museum will open in central Rome, designed by major American architect -- Richard Meier, best known for his sleek, crowd-drawing design for the Getty Center in Los Angeles. Meier's soon-to-debut Ara Pacis Museum is the first modern building to pop up in the Eternal City's historic district since the Mussolini years.
With banks of windows and a clean, boxy silhouette, the Ara Pacis Museum is home to the ancient Altar of Peace, which Emperor Caesar Augustus had built in 9 B.C. to commemorate Rome's war victories. As the modernist home for a historic relic, the Meier building is an intriguing symbol of the confluence of past and present that has begun to characterize the landscape of Italy's major cities from Milan to Florence.
Many of the international "starchitects" with Italian projects are devising buildings that forgo classical form in favor of radical new geometries and forward-thinking engineering details reflecting today's values -- conceptual and practical -- of transparency and sustainability. Italian architects perhaps not as well-known on the global stage, such as Luisa Fontana, are also experimenting with fresh approaches toward eco-friendly and other innovative strategies.
Some projects promise to be superlative structures, such as the proposal for the world's longest bridge, stretching over the Strait of Messina, which would connect Sicily to mainland Italy for the first time. Others will be firsts, like the first green skyscraper in Italy, designed by Pei Cobb Freed and Partners.
While not on the dramatic scale of China or Dubai's building booms, Italy's architectural renaissance is quantifiable. In March, the Italian national statistics office (ISTAT) reported that the production index of the Mediterranean nation's building industry rose slightly (0.7%) in fourth-quarter 2005, compared to the same period of 2004. So what's the motivation behind Italy's current crop of new buildings?
Italy's government and real estate developers seem to be following the trend of luring big-name architects to design iconic tourist destination buildings. In other words, they're hoping for the "Bilbao Effect," the economic spike that the once-sleepy Spanish city experienced after Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum opened in 1997. Italy's economy could use that boost. On March 1, 2006, ISTAT reported that the Italian economy had zero growth in 2005. Increased tourism could certainly help.
Not unlike China, Italy also seems keen to modernize its national identity through architecture. Contemporary buildings designed by international architects suggest an openness to globalization. The move toward bold lines and away from classical forms, however, hasn't been without controversy. Richard Meier's streamlined, light-filled design for the new Ara Pacis Museum has been criticized at length by traditionalists, and it took 11 years to complete after various false starts.
Still, earlier projects in Rome, like Renzo Piano's Parco della Musica, a complex of theaters and live-music venues housed in shell-like structures that opened in 2003, and Meier's Jubilee Church, a sail-shaped house of worship, which also opened in 2003 and was commissioned by the Vatican, have been drawing favorable reviews -- and tourists.
Rome isn't the only place where architectural experimentation is taking place and adventurous new projects aren't limited to the biggest cities. Italy's first zero-energy residential development, for example, will open in the northern town of Schio in 2007. Across the nation, an architectural renaissance is reshaping Italy for the 21st century.

Ind. Supreme Court Chief Justice Dickson Will Step Down
By Mike Perleberg
(Indianapolis, Ind.) – For the second time in two years, Indiana will require a new chief justice.
Chief Justice of the Indiana Supreme Court Brent E. Dickson announced Wednesday that he will step down from the leadership role by September 1st. Dickson said he'll continue to serve as an associate justice on the state's highest court until 2016, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 75.
Dickson has been chief justice since 2012, succeeding Randall T. Shepard. He has been a member of the court for 28 years overall.
"It has been a great joy and a privilege to have helped continue the Court's tradition of excellence—especially with four hard-working colleagues who are devoted to the law," Dickson told the Indiana Judicial Nomination Commission in a letter. "I am looking forward to being able to spend most of my time in legal research, deciding cases, and writing opinions."
Governor Mike Pence said Dickson has served the state well for his two years heading the Supreme Court.
"I know him to be a man of great faith, and I applaud his long-standing commitment to public service in the legal system and look forward to his continued wisdom as he remains on the court," Pence remarked in a statement.
The seven-member nominating commission – of which Dickson and Pence are members – will select the state's next chief justice. Justices Robert Rucker, Steven David, Mark Massa, and Loretta Rush will be invited to meet with the commission in a public meeting on August 6 to discuss the role of Chief Justice.
Following the public portion of the meeting, the commission will go to a closed-door executive session, then come back into the public eye to announce its selection for the new top judge.
"Knowing that my tenure as Chief Justice was limited, each Associate Justice has actively participated in much of the administrative responsibilities and decisions of the office of Chief Justice," Pence observed. "The time is right for this transition. The Court and state will be well served when one of my colleagues is selected as the next Chief Justice."

Not Happy Just bought this projector after reading all the rave reviews on different web site and Home Theather Mag. SO DISAPOINTED On sharpness and clarity my old Mits HC 5000 blew it away on my old dvds. They looked very good on the mits HC 5000 and very clear. The new Epson is grainy on the old dvds. Yes it is more bright and the colors pop, but all the reviews said it really shines on STANDARD 2D. Both look great on Blue Ray, what does'nt now days. But on standard dvd its is a step backwards for sure. Not sure if its because the HQV in the Mits was that much better. Again the Mits was RAZOR SHARP and this EPSON is clearly lacking in that department. Longing for my Mits HC 5000 back, but I sold it. Not Happy
