Greece goes cold turkey
And no, that's not a joke about Turkey. What you're seeing in Greece is what you see in any drug rehab program … the results of withdrawal. In this case, the addiction isn't to heroin or cocaine, but other people's money. And Greece passed the tipping point of dependency years ago, decades ago.
But the money has finally run out and the addict doesn't have the necessary money for the next fix.
Result? Violence, denial and the refusal to accept the treatment.
More than 40 buildings were set ablaze in an orgy of looting that left scores injured as protesters vented their anger at the caretaker government and parliament's ordering of a further €3.3bn of savings by slashing wages and pensions and laying off public sector workers.
But the scenes of mayhem on the streets of Athens and all across the country leave big questions unresolved regarding Greece's capacity to stick with the savage austerity. The country is in its fifth year of recession and has little prospect of halting a steep decline in living standards.
Meanwhile street battles between police firing rounds of teargas and demonstrators hurling firebombs and marble slabs left Syntagma square, the plaza in front of the parliament building, resembling a war zone.
Rubbish bins burned and plumes of smoke and asphyxiating clouds of toxic chemicals filled the air.
The explosions were so loud, they could be heard inside parliament and the teargas drifting across square reached the debating chamber. The buildings that were set on fire included cinemas, banks and a number of shops, and Greek television reported that dozens of citizens and at least 40 police officers had been injured.
Why? Because the caretaker parliament has, of necessity, tried to do what is necessary to return the country of Greece to fiscal sanity. And that entails drastically reducing or eliminating decades of entitlements that the government granted but which was obvious the country couldn't afford. Among them:
Parliament backed drastic cuts in wages, pensions and jobs on Sunday as the price of a 130-billion-euro ($172 billion) bailout by the European Union and International Monetary Fund …
That included a roll back of Greece's minimum wage. This doesn't settle anything though. Although the vote was important, EU leaders are still not convinced that implementation will ever happen:
The EU welcomed the vote, but told Greece it had more to do to secure the funds and avoid a disorderly default next month that would have "devastating consequences."
Euro zone finance ministers meet on Wednesday, and the fragile ruling coalition of Prime Minister Lucas Papademos has until then to say how 325 million euros of the 3.3 billion euros in budget savings will be achieved.
A government spokesman said political leaders also had until Wednesday to give a written commitment that they will implement the terms of the deal, reflecting fatigue in Brussels over what EU leaders say have been a string of broken promises.
So this has turned into a series of attempts and votes and "guarantees" and failures leading to this latest attempt to keep Greece afloat – something the rest of Europe, according to reports, deems as critical.
There's also a vote in April, a month after the demand that the deal agreed upon is scheduled to be implemented. Many observers believe the vote will be driven to the extreme left or right by these events. That, of course, would set up political polarization which will be difficult, if not impossible, to overcome. A preview of that problem was seen after this vote:
The leaders of two of the three major political parties in Prime Minister Lucas Papademos's interim coalition government — the Socialists and the center-right New Democracy party — agreed on the new round of austerity after days of tense debate, maneuvering and threats. The leader of the third, the right-wing Popular Orthodox Rally, refused to endorse the measures and later withdrew from the coalition.
In the debate on Sunday night before the vote, Mr. Papademos appealed to lawmakers to do their "patriotic duty" and pass the measures, saying they would be saving Greece from bankruptcy in March, when a bond issue comes due that Greece cannot repay without foreign help.
In a sign of how the crisis has frayed the political order in Greece, the three leading political parties all moved swiftly to expel lawmakers who had broken ranks with leaders in the voting.
Although we're likely to deny any applicability of the crisis there to our circumstances, our country is headed in the same direction, albeit later and more slowly. But the end-state will be the same. The difference is just a matter of degree, not design. Greece is simply the first of many countries who've tried to redistribute income to support a socialist inspired lifestyle from a diminishing pool of workers.
It is our future, if we don't change our ways … drastically.

I'll bet the Germans are just FILLED with confidence that Greece will not self-destruct…given they seem intent on, you know…self-destructing.
@Ragspierre LOL good necessary dichotomy irrational ideology rinse repeat
How long before it's the "German's fault" for not supplying them with their economic drug?
@looker The EU as a giant "co-dependency"…??? They always say that Greece fires are hard to put out…
@Ragspierre How about Spain and Italy fires?
@looker Do Italians riot better than they fight wars??? Inquiring minds…
@Ragspierre @looker The wife was in Rome last year when they had demonstrations and riots. It was all very orderly with police mostly sipping espresso through their riot helmets and just generally looking suave. Some anarchists made them shift their cars a couple of times but otherwise I think it was mostly a nice day in the sun checking out the talent.
@DocD @looker Wow, that was in up-tight Rome! Think how laid-back the whole deal would be in Napoli…
@Ragspierre "Greece fires"… hah, hah, well done!
First the "Arab Spring", now the "Euro Spring". I guess Twitter, etc. must be getting a real workout. Interesting times.
@timactual Last time the Mediterranean area got all upset and the Germans wanted some peace and quiet it took the Afrika Korps and the 12th Army to settle them down… for a couple of years anyway. But yeah, Twitter, that could work too.
@DocD @timactual Generalleutent Erwin Twitter?
Mine deutsches gespellen ist atrocious
@timactual … but didn't Germany ultimately wind that war, but not that battle.
As we speak, virtually all of Europe is playing based on the direction of Germany.
All that is left to fulfill … ".. and when the war is over, no matter where [in Europe] you will be, you will be in Germany"

@Neo_ Lead and salt would be better… MREs, too…
@Ragspierre @Neo_ booze, coffee and perfume.
@looker @Neo_ Nylons and chocolate… ??? You plan a different zombi apocolypse, I take it…
@Ragspierre @Neo_ Okay, my plan presumes surviving until stuff starts coming back together, but while I'm waiting, I'll lure innocent zombies to their doom with the smell of freshly brewing coffee or Chanel #5.
@Ragspierre @Neo_ Salt…You can salt your zombies down if you like, I prefer em smoked. 🙂
@looker @Neo_ Pickled zombie is really good, and lasts longer. Plus, you pour salt in their mouths and sew them shut to kill them (see Night Stalker, "The Zombie").
Hey look at the bright side. All those broken windows (and Buildings) will lead to a lot of work and an improved economy! (snark)
@kyle8 Don't give the President and his advisers any ideas okay?

Fat Friends was an ITV drama (made by Rollem Productions in association with Tiger Aspect Productions and Yorkshire Television), following a group of overweight people, their laughter and pain and addresses the absurdities of dieting in our modern age. The drama looks at people and how they relate to one another and use body weight as an excuse for all sorts of failings in their relationships, or not living their lives to the full. Four of the cast, Ruth Jones, James Corden, Sheridan Smith and Alison Steadman, went on to appear in Gavin & Stacey.
The premise of the programme is set around a slimming club in the Headingley district of Leeds. The club is run by the formidable Carol, who fruitlessly tries to persuade the members of the group to follow the 'Super Slimmers' diet. The characters who attend the club are from varied backgrounds and of varied weight. Whilst some plots continue throughout all four series, each episode focuses on one particular character.
Main cast[edit]
- Lauren Harris - Gaynor Faye (series 1-4) - a Jewish actress of average weight. Lauren thinks she is a disappointment to her parents, not being married and struggling to get much acting work. In series 1, she has been dating a non-Jewish fitness instructor called Gareth but that ends when her younger sister announces her engagement to Ben. In series 2, she starts dating a vicar named Paul and later marries him, despite her parents' clear disapproval. Her father also disapproves of her making a living by holding Ann Summers style parties.
- Kelly Chadwick - Ruth Jones (series 1-4) - Kelly works at her father's fish and chip shop and marries Kevin in the first series. Feeling broody at the sight of her much younger brother, Russell, she and Kevin begin trying for a baby almost immediately and go for IVF when unsuccessful. Kelly conceives naturally and gives birth to her son in series 3.
- Rebecca Patterson - Lisa Riley (series 2-4) - Rebecca is a neurotic garden centre worker, who is scarred from a life of bullying. Aided by her boyfriend, she sees that everyone has slight body issues.
- Betty Simpson - Alison Steadman (series 1-4) - mother of Kelly and wife of Douglas. Betty becomes pregnant while in her forties in the first series and discovers her adopted son in series two. She also meets her first boyfriend and father of the son she gave up for adoption - Douglas isn't happy about her seeing this man and so, to save her marriage, she agrees to stop seeing him. Lauren's boyfriend, Paul, helps her track down her son and they begin to build a relationship, despite jealousy from Simon's adoptive parents and Kelly.
- Jamie Rymer - James Corden (series 1-4) - Jamie is fifteen and bullied at school in the first series; while at school, he looks after his depressed mother until school bullies push him to attempt suicide. Following this, his reasons for eating so much are revealed and his mother tries not to lean on him so much. Jamie inherits money from his Gran on his seventeenth birthday, only to be defrauded by a local spiv who poses as his friend. In series three, Jamie, now 20, meets a girl on the internet who lives in a ground floor council flat in Burmantofts. The flat is constantly under attack from local thugs and a jealous ex-husband. In series four, the young woman is killed by a hit and run driver, leaving Jamie to bring up her young child.

Cedarbrook, a neighborhood of Philadelphia, offers current (and future) renters a relatively more economical place to live than some of the neighborhoods nearby. Centrally-located staples, such as supermarkets, contribute to the family-centric feel of the Cedarbrook area. In the search for a new place, don't forget to have a look at the apartments in neighboring Mount Airy and North Philadelphia.
Amenities Around the Apartments for Rent
There's no shortage of basic to more specialized amenities and services in Cedarbrook. To help focus your search, the streets of Ogontz Ave. and W Cheltenham Ave. are two of the busiest streets in the neighborhood. On these streets you can find something worthwhile to do, dine out or have a drink. Once you've done your homework on the area, be sure you use our apartment finder tool to complete your hunt for your next apartment in Cedarbrook.
Have dinner and drinks out at Lee's Hoagie House located on W Cheltenham Ave. For post-dinner refreshments, try a nearby watering hole, like Place Bar. With a few different restaurants in the area, Cedarbrook residents can fill their cravings for both pizza and deli snacks. For those looking for some great places to kick back with a cocktail, check out some neighborhood hot spots, like Che Bar & Grill or Charley B's. Sometimes food that is fast or familiar is all that will do. In such cases, Wing Street and Checkers Drive-In Restaurant are both around the proverbial corner.

Is Cedarbrook the right neighborhood for you? A look at how much your future neighbors are bringing in might shed some light. While those who live in nearby North Philadelphia make an average of $36.7K, Cedarbrook residents are raking in an average of $81.5K.

Amid growing demand, restaurateurs find increasing success with sustainable offerings
Only a few years ago, eco-conscious consumers were being labeled as tree huggers, and their opinions were generally being discounted by the population as a whole. But today, as the environment faces dangerous challenges, sustainability has emerged as a central concern at restaurants across the country. Not only are operators seeking energy-efficient ways to run their businesses, but they also are re-engineering their menus to reflect the public's desire for foods that are good for them ...

As the final hours of the 2011 United Way campaign approached Wednesday evening, campaign co-chairman Andrew Mitchell wasn't sure the organization would meet its fundraising goal.
"The goal was pretty tight getting up to it," said Mitchell, who represents Toot'n Totum Food Stores. "(Wednesday) night we got our last company that set the bar and put us over the top."
The United Way of Amarillo & Canyon announced it surpassed its goal of $5,678,910 at a luncheon on Thursday at the Amarillo Civic Center. The organization raised a record $5,723,097 from August through Wednesday, although it is still receiving donations, Mitchell said.
Mitchell said the money raised from the campaign will be distributed beginning in January to charities and nonprofits.
Campaign Director Donna Soria said Mitchell and co-chair Pat Ware, who represents Amarillo National Bank, were the youngest to lead a campaign for the United Way of Amarillo & Canyon. She said they helped involve younger adults in the community this year.
"Usually our co-chairs are the grandfathers of United Way, so it was nice to see the next generation," Soria said.
The organization also announced its co-chairs for next year's campaign at Thursday's event. Scott Bentley of First United Bank and John Woolery of B&W Pantex will lead the campaign next year.
Woolery said he has contributed to United Way for many years, but he didn't realize the significance of each individual donation until he became the general manager at Pantex in 2010 and visited some of the places that receive United Way money.
"It's been a real eye-opener for me," he said. "That's one of the reasons I'm really looking forward to the 2012 campaign. Now that I understand and I've been able to actually visit some of the agencies the United Way supports, I see the need and how significant our contributions are to our community."
Soria said the organizers for the United Way don't look at the fundraising goal in terms of how much money it raised, but rather how many ways that money can help people in the community.
"That's why the high number means so much to us," she said.
Soria said she is interested to see how Bentley and Woolery run the campaign because they have been involved in the organization for a long time as volunteers.
"They truly care and are invested," Soria said. "They're not just loaning us a company name."
Woolery said the organization has not set an official goal for next year's campaign, but he expects it to be around $6 million.
Bentley said he and Woolery will begin working on next year's plans immediately, and he will focus on retaining leaders from the 2011 campaign, as well as adding to that group.
Bentley said it will take a lot of work to continue to set fundraising records in future years.
"It's a huge challenge: To beat what they did this year is going to take a lot of work and a lot of dedication on lots of people's part," Bentley said. "It's a huge challenge, but we can do it."

Wanna Bag a Handsome Prince? Be Yourself! Play Hard to Get!
Handsome royals slum it in both Ella Enchanted and The Prince & Me, and the films' main tip for you Will or Harry wooers lies somewhere between "be yourself" and "play hard to get." Ella transpires in a somewhat chintzy fantasy kingdom lousy with more cameos than your typical Love Boat season. Anne Hathaway, the limber and luminous Princess Diaries star, plays a young woman blessedor cursed?with the gift of obedience, which means she takes expressions like "Hold your tongue" literally; though manipulated by those who know her secret, she's thankfully not forced to do anything more salacious than a few steps of the hokeypokey. A critic of the xenophobic monarchy ("Say No to Ogrecide!" reads her protest sign), Ella accidentally snags the attentions of the dashing but politically uninspired Prince Charmont (Hugh Dancy), whom her malicious new stepsisters dream of marrying.
Ella aspires to the fabric-puncturing winkery of The Princess Bride (whose Cary Elwes appears here as Charmont's backstabbing uncle), and those who prefer their fantasy straight (ahem) should return to Middle Earth. A veritable Milky Way of guest starsfrom a doggerel-delivering Eric Idle to Beckham's Parminder K. Nagra as Ella's best friendprove distracting. The anachro-rock insertions may be no more excusable here than in A Knight's Tale, but Hathaway's karaoke stab at a Queen chestnuttentative, then hair-looseningly brassyhas a goofball charm.
Hathaway shares her name with Shakespeare's wife, but if a biopic were ever cast, Julia Stiles might win the lead based on résumé. After her shrew-taming breakout 10 Things I Hate About You, the husky-voiced, lightly squashed-faced beauty played Ophelia in Hamlet and "Desi" in O. Now comes this adaptation of Sonnet CXLVIII. The Prince & Me's Paige Morgan (Stiles) is a farm-raised University of Wisconsin pre-med student; Eddie (Luke Mably) is actually Edvard, prince of Denmark, checking out the U.S. college scene after seeing a particularly inspiring ad for a Girls Gone Wild-style video in his Copenhagen chambers.
"Don't just go for the obvious," Eddie tells Paige, as he coaches the science-savvy but Bard-loathing coed through the wilds of line 12 ("The sun itself sees not till heaven clears"). Their opposites-attract trajectory entertainingly reaches an applause-inducing climaxbut heeding Eddie's exegetical advice, Prince refuses to end on such an easy emotional note. The movie continues, very Ikiru-after-Watanabe-dies. Having shelved her dreams of being a doctor, Paige finds herself stranded in Denmark, her body immobilized by stiff garb, her milk-fed American spirit restricted by society's rules. (Mr. von Trier, here is your Dogville!) Paige eventually comes to a self-affirming decision, but the Danish interlude succeeds too well in making us feel her boredom.

No one said anything about 'bad genetic stock' (well at least I didn't).(Original post by Summering)
You talk about "genetics", with your logic, do you think less developed countries have "bad genetic stock"?!
But I'm not going to deny my view that it is tantamount to spitting in the face of everything we know about genetic phylogeny to deny that races will have developed different traits on account of group breeding due to geographical separation over millennia - and to somehow accept that New Labour's equality legislation has changed God's laws of science is not something I can stomach (though many - even highly knowledgable biologists - clearly can).
'Good' and 'bad' as value adjectives do not come into it. That is something that people who hate on so-called 'scientific racism' always shoe-horn into the views of scientists who research the differences between races. Invariably the differences between races will lead to some benefitting from an advantage at various points in history, and correspondingly others suffering disadvantages.
Nothing I have said is in the slightest controversial in science.
Not at all related to what I said so I won't go down this path (different debate).Socioeconomic and environment are by far the biggest factors.
Wtf - no you read someone else's post or inferred that out of nowhere.Also I saw a really horrible vulgar thread you made yesterday about 'sex with black men' and you said it is a source of shame, I was shocked and going to rant but I thought against it,and now I saw this, what is all this about?!
I made a thread 'white girls - have you ever had sex with a black man to get at your racist parents' lol - it's not a source of shame, I did not say that and I do not think that. In fact, I was advocating white girls with racist parents to get jiggy with some local black youths to spite their racist parents.
No not trolling. Not racist (at least I don't think so - though some have described me as a racialist which I would not contest really, even on the little understanding I think I have).Are you trolling? I doubt you are racist just VERY misguided (I hope).
How exactly am I VERY misguided? That is quite an allegation, so please do explain it if you can.

Okay I think this gets to the heart of it, what do you mean by racialist? Do you believe in racial superiority, this all sounds very odd?
As in regarding some things you said which I thought were worrying, eg race
I'm not blaming you for it, certainly there is a correlation between those who go on about differences in race and those who believe in a racial hierarchy, but the correlation is not necessary.Last edited by DJkG.1; 10-04-2012 at 03:22.

Instead of striving to become footballers and the like, South Koreans strive to become advanced humans fighting aliens in the far depths of space. They can't do that without advancing themselves.

oh wow, I'm south korean and I feel that south korea started really growing quickly maybe 5-7 years ago. Koreans are very ambitious and we do push ourselves a bit too much, yes. I live in New York currently ( have been in the last 5 years ) and I constantly hear people being amazed by koreans in IT and about how koreans work in general. Now not only in IT,but also all different fields. even in fashion design ( I study fashion design, so I know ) people say koreans are going to take over. ( don't really know about this lol hehe )
New Yorkers are very very driven as well ( the most driven people I've ever seen to be honest ) but they talk about how crazy koreans are when it comes to work. koreans try very hard. most of the korean workers in korea, they get multiple certificates if not 7-10 something during the uni and even when they have secure jobs, they still study after work for self improvements. I'm not sure about people in different countries if they do the same.
however it's such a small country and we used to have nothing. like my mum, from the 60's, she wanted to study so much, but she had to work at a factory during the day when she was 13 ( didnt even get to go to high school ), she tells me she used to take these pills to keep herself awake, so she could study after her 18 hour shift was over. she never slept more than 3 hours a day. and still, a lot of people are like that. ( they probably don't work at a factory though ) So, I have to say, there is definitely something more than the support coming from the US.
but now I think about it, maybe it's not about our ability or talent. I wonder if it comes from our general personality haha, in korea, EVERYTHING HAS TO BE DONE RIGHT AWAY when asked. really. really. everything quick quick quick. really quick. so I guess korean workers accomplish loads more work than what other people would normally do. so maybe that's the way koreans can achieve more. koreans always joke about it

It probably has something to do with it, since they seem to share the same kind of quiet patriotism that Japan have, which had an equally sharp rise in development after the war. I think they share the same powerful work ethic based on 'honour' that Japan has as well, which is probably another variable in the equation. They are also heavily valued by the US as well, like Japan is.
Korea's economic growth has been very impressive but I think it has a long way to go before becoming truly advanced. From what I've seen there are deep social problems which will be difficult to uproot (and whereas the culture of honour is at times seen as good in the West, it's become very detrimental imo) - the suicide rates reflect on this quite a bit

Just decades ago, South Koreans were no more politically or civilly free than their northern counterparts.
Their export-led economic development was initiated under a strongman military government, so I wouldn't cite "freedom" or "democracy" as a necessary component.

I'm South Korean and I believe it's the fierce competition that has created a massive work ethic. In South Korea, everyone is their rival and unless you try your best, you won't get anywhere. Unfortunately that's a major factor of the high suicide rate, which I believe to be the highest out of all the OECD nations.
Industrialisation happened in 1980s. The president Park Chung-Hee improved the economic situation, although he was a dictator.
South Korea has few natural resources, so yes, it's all export-led hence why we export so many electronics.

Let's look at the difference between the people's of South Korea and the UK.
UK people can't eat spicy food, where South Korean people can eat extremely spicy stuff.

That source seems to be flawed; according to it Germany and the UK each have half as many crimes in total as the USA despite having much smaller populations.
Note: Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence.
Also, it depends what is actually counted in a country's crime statistics, for example Iceland includes all trafic violations, which actually gives them the highest crime rate per capita in the world.

I assume that it is nothing to do with population. Korea was one of poor countries in1950's as someone mentioned above. One of reasons that increased the infant mortality rate was starvation. People wanted to survive from hunger, and eating food as much as they could was their dream. They did not want their children to follow their footsteps, and believed that education was the only way to escape from poverty. They devoted themselves so that their sons and daughters could go to school and university. As a result, the outcomes of their efforts and hard working have been manifested; no one says Korea is a poor country any more.
Korea divided into two parts, such a small country, and not enough nature resources.. Koreans know this fact well, and they still strongly believe providing younger generation with a good quality of education and developing human resources are the ways they can and or have to rely heavily on..Last edited by Joyluck72; 30-06-2014 at 18:06.

Mike Heine/The Week
(Published May 16, 2007, 9:19 a.m.)
She used to sing the national anthem on the hardwood courts of Elkhorn Area High School.
On May 18, alumnus Cheri Magill will return to sing songs from three of her "pop rock" albums that are gaining popularity around the country.
The 27-year-old Elkhorn native who now resides outside Salt Lake City, Utah, has hit the big time without the backing of a major record label.
"I'm not surprised that she's doing the things she is today," said Steve Simonson, her Elkhorn Middle School chorus director. "She has always been an unbelievably talented kid.
"She may have been the most talented I've ever had," the 25-year veteran teacher added.
Magill has two albums-2003's Ready and this year's Chasing Yesterday-available for purchase at record stores around the country and on various Web sites.
She has gotten positive reviews from those who downloaded her works from Apple's iTunes Store.
"Well-written songs and a killer voice," one user said of the Ready album. "I heard her perform in Portland (Ore.) and she sounded just as good live. I'm waiting for her next album."
"She is the next Alanis (Morissette)... Fresh, original, edgy and sassy," another user wrote.
Magill, who became serious about a career in music after taking a songwriting class at Brigham Young University, said Sarah McLachlan, Jewel, KT Tunstall and Rachel Yamagata are the major influences in her musical styling.
"I just like to pick elements of different singers that I like," Magill said. "(There are) little things from each that I've adapted. KT has a bluesy sound. Rachel does a cool thing with her voice I try to do, too. Kind of a ripple thing she does with her voice."
Magill doesn't want to live in the same mold as the record-label-made female pop singers whose albums line the shelves of the Wal-Marts of the world.
In other words, she's no Britney Spears.
She intends to keep her independent status, producing records at small studios that can still get her music to the masses. Magill also does much of her own marketing, promotion and tour scheduling.
"When I see the big record labels, it's frustrating to know the compromises going on," she said. "They have very little loyalty to the artists. It's all about how many records you can sell. And if they don't sell, you're out the door. It's all about the money.
"I'd rather say the things I want to say in the way I want."
Magill writes or co-writes most of her songs. Her Chasing Yesterday has one cover song, "Time After Time," originally recorded by 1980s superstar Cyndi Lauper.
"I've tried really hard to do something different," she said. "I try to make my songs have a little more inspirational value. I try to write about things I hope will excite people and motivate them, rather than just the average things you hear on the radio.
"It's young, hip music, but with good messages."
Magill's favorite is a song called "Typical Girl," off the Ready album. It's about not changing yourself into the clichés society sometimes expects.
Lyrics include her saying she will not wear a skirt shorter to catch one's eye, order what pleases a boy while on a date, not demand diamonds, jewelry or any other wealth.
The chorus sums it up.
"I refuse to be your typical girl. There's plenty of her in this world. Why should I change myself into what you think I should be when all you've got to do is love me."
"It's 'I'm me, and that's enough,'" Magill said of the song that has found a niche on hundreds of girls' Myspace Web pages.
"I play music in class for the kids coming in every day," Simonson said. "They enjoy her music. Middle school-age kids, if they buy into it, it has got to be good. They know what they like."
Besides using her music, Magill is connecting with youngsters through speeches and presentations at schools in the cities she visits in and around Utah.
She will give presentations at Fontana Elementary School and Elkhorn Area Middle School.
"I talk about being who you want to be and pursuing those dreams and the keys to make those things happen and to not give up on those dreams," Magill said.
Some school visits might also include giving some singing or songwriting lessons.
Knowing she is connecting with her listeners through music is the most rewarding thing, Magill said.
"I get e-mails from young girls about how the songs helped them or what it meant to them. Getting e-mails like that and knowing I can somehow make a difference with what I'm doing, in the long run, it will make me a lot happier than having a video on MTV," she said.
More about Cheri Magill
Magill was raised in Elkhorn through high school when she left for Brigham Young University to pursue a degree in music with an emphasis in media music (song writing and making music for businesses and film/TV).
She started recording immediately after college in 2001, putting together an experimental album called Crossing Avenues.
"It has a little bit more folksy sound," she said. "The production value was not as much ... It wasn't everything I wanted it to be, but it was a good stepping-stone."
A little more than two years ago, Magill married a friend she met in Utah, Jeff Heaton. Cheri and Jeff are expecting their first child, a boy, July 2.
What: Cheri Magill in a live acoustic performance
Where: Elkhorn Area High School
When: 7 p.m., Friday, May 18.
How much: The show is free, but donations will be accepted. All proceeds will go to Hope Now, an Elkhorn charity that helps families with short-term emergency housing assistance, emergency utility assistance, emergency transportation and medication issues. It also provides food baskets to needy families at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter and gifts to children at Christmas.

MCWFC News
Chelsea Ladies v MCWFC: Match preview
Manchester City Women travel to Chelsea Ladies on Sunday, seeking their fourth successive win in all competitions whilst looking to keep their title hopes alive.
The Blues, who returned to winning ways in the FA Women's Super League on Thursday night, visit the second-placed London outfit, eager to remain in contention in the title race.
Nick Cushing's side currently sit five points adrift of league leaders Birmingham City Ladies and three points behind Liverpool Ladies, and the in-form Krystle Johnston in particular is keen to keep the pressure on those at the top.
"We always expect a tough game but regardless of who we're playing, we always go out to win," she declared.
"We haven't had much time since the Notts County game but in the time we've had, we've prepared thoroughly for the trip to Chelsea and we know what we have to do.
"We've won seven of our last eight games now so we're on a good run and we want that to continue so we can stay in touch with Birmingham and Liverpool."
The Blues have already locked horns with the London side once this season, falling to a 3-1 defeat on that occasion in the FA Women's Cup back in April - a setback Johnston hopes will add extra motivation to her team mates' desire to secure three points.
"Earlier in the season, we lost to Chelsea when we played them in the cup so that makes us even more determined to win," she asserted. "On that day, we felt a little hard done by so I don't see any reason why we can't get a result there if we work hard."
Sunday's hosts head into the clash on the back of a 2-1 win over Arsenal Ladies. Having also set up a Continental Cup semi-final tie with City after an incredible 13-0 win over London Bees last weekend, Emma Hayes' side will be in high spirits.
Meanwhile, City enter the encounter having ground out a hard-fought win over Notts County. You can watch the highlights from the game below:
Kick-off for Chelsea Ladies v MCWFC is at 2pm at Staines Town, Wheatsheaf Park, TW18 2PD. We'll have live updates on Twitter as well as a full match report after full-time.

Written by William Lee
Carmelo Anthony had to call a timeout to get himself out of the game with 1:45 remaining in the first half. It would later be announced that Anthony was dealing with back spasms. Up until that point Anthony was having himself a great game, in fact, it was his 14th point of the first half, where it looked like he was experiencing discomfort after making a jump shot with 2:05 remaining in the second quarter. Anthony tried to stay in the game…but could not bear the pain, raising his hand to the referee indicating that he needed to leave the game.
When Anthony exited the game, the Knicks were trailing 49-38, and it looked like it would to be all doom and gloom, but the Knicks would go on 7-0 run to end the first half in the final 51 seconds to cut the deficit to 51-46 entering halftime.
New York tied the game up at 69 a piece after three quarters, winning the period 23-18, largely due to Houston's own sloppiness with the basketball. The Rockets turned the ball over seven times in the quarter, this helped ignite the Knicks offense, and gave them more opportunities to work with.

"'New Fighting Power!' Japan's Growing Maritime Capabilities and East Asian Security"
Journal Article, International Security, volume 32, issue 3, pages 84-112
Winter 2007/08
Author: Richard J. Samuels
Japanese leaders struggled for decades to overcome legal, political, and normative constraints on the expansion of the Self-Defense Forces so that Japan could field a robust military. Their progress was steady and significant, but slow. Now, having reframed the nature of the threat Japan faces and having borrowed creatively from the U.S. model, they have found new traction by empowering the Japan Coast Guard (JCG). Today's JCG has what its publicists, citing capabilities explicitly banned by Japan's constitution, call "New Fighting Power!" Remarkably, however, JCG modernization and expansion are being achieved without much objection from Japan's neighbors or from the domestic public. Although the JCG is not a "second navy," it is already a fourth branch of the Japanese military. Tokyo is now able to project additional diplomatic influence as well as "fighting power." Japan's "new fighting power" is thus greater than the sum of its military parts.

The federal government mistakenly made public a 266-page report, its pages marked "highly confidential," that gives detailed information about hundreds of the nation's civilian nuclear sites and programs, including maps showing the precise locations of stockpiles of fuel for nuclear weapons. The publication of the document was revealed Monday in an online newsletter devoted to issues of federal secrecy. That set off a debate among nuclear experts about what dangers, if any, the disclosures posed. It also prompted a flurry of investigations in Washington into why the document had been made public. — "U.S. Accidentally Releases List of Nuclear Sites," William J. Broad, The New York Times

The death of the author– a fatality acted out in critical theory more than in poetry– supposedly was yet another moment of such cleavages in the history of reading, writing & attention. Conceptual poetry both notices these recurring break points, not to mention the uglier reality that the earlier modes never actually go away– intellectually, the anti-modernists are still afraid to look down as they venture across that gap in the mountains– and tries to both replicate that moment yet again & step outside the paradigm at the same time. But it's not possible to do both simultaneously: "glorious failure," Conceptualism's antidote for the "adorable detail," is in fact just another mode of detailing & glorious as a category is all about mastery. — "Wednesday, June 03, 2009," Ron Silliman, Silliman's Blog

"It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one's acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis."

I think burgess should be with ruzek and happy that he is longer with his fiance. Poor Antonio I hope he survives and hope they find pulpo. The next episode is looking tense as well.

I'm so happy Antonio survived. I think Antonio's family left him and don't blame them one bit. I think it was a good idea that they returned pupulo back to jail. I felt so bad for Erin that charlie guy was horrible. I'm so happy sumner is gone. I love that atwater became the replacement. I love burgess and adam together. I felt so bad for Jin poor guy. I think he killed himself. I will miss Jin. Overall, a very good first season. I can't wait for season 2.😉

Thank-You Letters
Congratulations to Sean P. Foley who retired Aug. 31 after 25 years of service as an Ocean Safety officer. Sean spent his career saving lives on the west and north shores of Maui. He was a volunteer rescue ski operator for the past 20 years and has the sore back to prove it.
He will be remembered in the tower for his easygoing attitude, faith in God and friendship to all. I wish him the best of luck as he continues his education at the University of Hawaii Maui College and spends more time with his family.

Thank you all for everything that you collectively did to make Kihei's AYSO opening day such a great success. Three hundred kids, their families and friends all gathered for the Parade of Teams, the banner contest, and a few words from some of our dignitaries.
There was music, half a dozen food trucks (giving 10-20 percent proceeds), prizes, photos and giveaways. The place was a zoo.
We sold hundreds and hundreds cups of shave ice (100 percent proceeds going to raising funds for our traveling U-10 Boys Team). And afterwards, there was not one shave ice cup on the ground, not one napkin, bottle or can, no trash anywhere . . . except overflowing trash cans that were empty the next day. Nothing could hide how beautiful the park looked the next morning. Thank you to all the families. Thank you to the County of Parks and Recreation. Thank you everyone for taking pride in our parks for all to have fun for generations to come. I am so proud to be a part of this AYSO Board of Directors and our community.

Lalomalava and Leone Whites train hard for Sevens Tourney
Samoa News Sports is pleased to feature local teams that have been invited to play in the TMO Marist Pago International Seven A Side tournament scheduled for April 13 and 14. This coverage is made possible through the sponsorship of TMO and host club Marist Pago.
"This is a big opportunity for the territory as the tournament opens doors for American Samoa to welcome the many international players and tourists that will visit the territory during a very important time of our history, the Flag Day," comments one of the Leone Whites coach, Mafutaga So'onafai.
Leone has two coaches. One of them is Paki Maiava. He tells Samoa News Sports they have not decided on who will be the head coach. "Mafu and I have been given the responsibility by the heads of the Leone aumaga (league of untitled young village men) Ilao ma Ko'omakato to organize, train and prepare the Leone Whites for the Marist International sevens competition. We exist as co-coaches and that's the way we will operate."
The two coaches have been with the team for five weeks, leading the squad of over 15 players in drills, clinics, and ball handling. "We've been running and perfecting our combinations. Most of our members are young men from our village but the experienced vets are helping them sharpening their rugby skills," adds Maiava.
So'onafai says they have been concentrating on building their stamina for the past four weeks. "Fitness is a primary concern for us as coaches. No matter how good you are as a rugby player, but experience doesn't take you anywhere if you are not fit. We think our team has the endurance to play against top teams from off-island."
Co-coach Maiava does not believe in importing experienced international players to beef up their Leone Whites. "We are developing our young athletes that will one day carry the flag of American Samoa in international competition. What's the purpose of bringing invited players from overseas to play for our team. They will just take up slots intended for another up and coming player.
"The American Samoa Rugby Union is now a member of the IRB (the International Rugby Board is world rugby's governing body) and we have to abide by their rules and regulations.
"Our team is made up mainly of the young men from Leone because when the union picks a team to represent American Samoa to international tournaments, only those born here will be selected. That is why we are fully committed in developing the sons of Leone so that they can one day represent our village and American Samoa to the world with pride."
Maiava refers to his team's taking the championship in the Ta'ita'itama sevens competition two years ago as proof of his belief that local players can make it to the top without the influence of guest players.
"Leone Whites won that championship using the sons of our village. Through hard work and dedication we can surprise a lot of international teams that will compete in the Marist sevens", the confident Maiava remarks.
Co-coach So'onafai says the TMO Marist Pago International Sevens is a huge challenge for local clubs and their players to perform against some of the best athletes around the Pacific that will be playing here.
"We should be disciplined, but fight hard and carry the name of your club and American Samoa well on and off the field".
Maiava adds, "Local players should be at their best, as scouts will be watching their moves on the field. They will be on the radar of the selectors that will pick an American Samoa team to play in the sevens tournament in the United States later on this year."
Maiava states that many young men in Leone want to take part in the tournament but only a few have been selected because of international rules that dictate the number of players (12) to be used in IRB sanctioned sevens tournaments.
Melea Timo, who was a member of the American Samoa Rugby Union team that played in the New Caledonia Pacific Games sevens rugby tournament late last year, is the captain of the Leone Whites team. Others in the squad are: Eneliko Eneliko, Vai Tai, Isa'ako Le'uma, Petelo Noga, Charlie Uhrle, Taliu Puluvaga, Kirifi Ofagalilo, Lei Ve'ave'a, Loi Tuiteleleapaga, Kose Tatino, Va'alele Va'alele, Atonio Atonio, and Filipe Aporosa.
Leota Toma Patu is the patron of the Leone Whites team according to the two coaches but the position of president is vacant.
Maiava and So'onafai expressed their gratitude to TMO and Marist Pago for organizing the international sevens competition. "This is good for rugby in American Samoa," they observe.
The Lalomalava Rugby Club based in Tafuna is made up of players from Samoa and American Samoa. Its patrons are Tau and Malaea Mavaega, parents of Peseta Sa Mavaega who founded the club.
Lalomalava is a village in the big Island of Savai'i, Samoa from where the Mavaega immigrated. Peseta's playing days are over but is still involved in the affairs of the American Samoa Rugby Union as a member of its board, a referee, and tournament director.
Peseta has passed on the baton to the younger generation to continue the legacy of the Lalomalava club although he remains the club president.
The responsibility of training and preparing the team for the April 13 and 14 TMO Marist Pago International Seven a side tournament is now in the hands of head coach, Joey Malo. He has finalized his 15-man squad of which 12 players will make the final selection for the competition with three substitutes.
The three standby players will only be allowed to join the team on conditions that some of those in the final squad are either injured, ruled ineligible to play, or unable to take the field through other rulings based on rules and regulations governing the two day competition.
The Lalomalava group has named its captain. He is 25-year old Po'o Finau. Finau is married to Lima, who comes from the Lavata'i family from the village of Nu'uuli. They have two young children.
Finau is originally from Moata'a, Samoa a village that is popular for producing legendary rugby players like: Taufusi Salesa, To'o Vaega, Michael Jones, Filipo Sa'ena, Lolo Lui, Anitele'a Aiolupo, and many others.
The sprinter who graduated from Maluafou College in Samoa came to American Samoa in 2005 and works for the LBJ hospital.
The Lalomalava squad, according to coach Malo has been training for over a month at the Park in front of the ANZ Amerika Samoa Bank in Tafuna.
"The players are prepared for the tournament. We're working on their combinations and skills, as many of them are rookies. But I'm confident that the experienced players will lead and show them how to adjust their play in tight situations."
Malo is a former player and ran along side some former American Samoa rugby representatives like Ruben Luvu who gives technical advice to the team when he is available from his duties as a technical director of coaching for the local FIFA.
Speaking on the April tournament, coach Manu who also played international rugby in New Zealand said it would help develop the game of rugby in American Samoa.
"The participation of overseas teams from Samoa, Fiji, and New Zealand will have significant influence in the future of the sport in American Samoa. Our local players will get to see first hand the high skill level that will be exhibited by those that will take part in the international tournament."
One issue that coach Malo would like the American Samoa Rugby Union to resolve is the involvement of guest players from overseas to play in local teams.
"This will hasten the development of players here. Our local players will learn a lot from well-known players their clubs will bring to play for them. They will not only share their experiences but also will hold Q&A sessions with the local athletes and hold clinics with those clubs.
"Local players as well as coaches will greatly benefit from their knowledge of the game. I sincerely hope that the union will relax these restrictions against the importation of guest players in next year's tournament," he declared.
Chairman Togiola Tulafono and the ASRU board have adamantly rejected pleas from some clubs to let them use players from overseas to play in their teams for this Flag Day TMO International sevens competition.
After all, this is an international tournament and not a local one and restrictions should not be strictly enforced according to those opposed to union rules banning imported players.
The Lalomalava squad is lead by captain Finau. Others are: Sulu, Tito, Kesi, Mike, Fa'afetai, Peti, Iele, Siama, Sione, Kema, Denzel, Lemo, Viane and Atapana. Joey Malo is the head coach.

Video: Nokia C6-00 unboxing
Here's GSMARENA's video unboxing of the Nokia C6, a budget version of the N97 mini (complete with N97 style homescreen) with 4 row, non-tilt slide QWERTY keyboard.
There's no speaking during the video but you do get an interesting background song made up of phone vibrations.
Despite being S60 5th (S^1) and having ARM 11 434MHz processor, it looks pretty nippy. Look at how fast in switches from landscape to portrait and vice versa. Other operations are hindered more by the S^1 annoyances like inconsistent 1 vs 2 button presses. Photo browsing of larger files now seem to stutter as expectations are raised to buttery smooth zoom panning.
Carphone Warehouse UK still lists the Nokia C6 as coming soon
Nokia Shop has the C6 available for £289. But it's worth noting buying from Nokia direct is more expensive. E.G. In the UK, the £79.99 Nokia C3 is listed as £119.00, so expect the C6 price to be much cheaper that what Nokia has listed.

In a certain city, the daily consumption of electric power in millions of kilowatt-hours can be treated as a random variable having a gamma distribution with α=3 and β=b. If the power plant of this city has a daily capacity of 12 million kilowatt-hours, what is the probability that this power supply will be inadequate on any given day?
The pdf I gave you is if we're working on . The pdf you gave is if we're working on
You can see that and
So here, it would depend on how you have been taught
As for your mistake of b=2, it doesn't change anything to the result, since b was a constant, and that you can substitute it by any positive value you want
And for the double integration by parts, it's because we have in the integrand. We can't calculate an antiderivative of it. So make an integration by parts : the power x^2 will be transformed into x and the exponential remains. But we still cannot find an antiderivative. So integrate again by parts : the power x will be transformed to a constant and the exponential remains. But then you can compute an antiderivative, because the integrand will be an exponential.
Just do it and you'll see (each time, take the u part as x^2 or x and the dv part as the exponential)

Home » Support » Index of All Documentation » Wing IDE Reference Manual » Debugger »
Quick Start
Wing IDE can be used to debug all sorts of Python code, including scripts and stand-alone applications written with wxPython, Tkinter, PyQt, PyGTK, and pygame. Wing can also debug web CGIs including those running under mod_python, code running under frameworks like Zope, Plone, Turbogears, Django, Paste/Pylons, mod_wsgi, and Twisted, and code running in an embedded Python interpreter in the context of a larger application such as Blender, Maya, Nuke, and Source Filmmaker.
This section describes how to debug stand-alone scripts and applications that can be launched from within Wing IDE. If you wish to debug code running within a web server or other environment you cannot launch from Wing IDE, please refer to Debugging Externally Launched Code and, for remote host-to-host debugging, see Remote Debugging.
Before debugging, you will need to install Python on your system if you have not already done so. Python is available from www.python.org.
To debug Python code with Wing, open up the Python file and select Start / Continue from the Debug menu. This will run to the first breakpoint, unhandled exception, or until the debug program completes. Select Step Into instead to run to the first line of code.
Use the Debug I/O tool to view your program's output, or to enter values for input to the program. If your program depends on characteristics of the Windows Console or a particular Linux/Unix shell, see External I/O Consoles for more information.
In some cases, you may also need to enter a PYTHONPATH and other environment values using the Project Properties dialog available from the Project menu. This can also be used to specify which Python executable should be used to run with your debug process. Use this if Wing IDE cannot find Python on your system or if you have more than one version of Python installed.
To set breakpoints, just click on the leftmost part of the margin next to the source code. In Wing IDE Professional, conditional and ignore-counted breakpoints are also available from the Breakpoint Options group in the Debug menu, or by right-clicking on the breakpoints margin.

A Dull Knife Poised
Dr. Thomas Diflo's Hippocratic oath has taken him from the operating room to Capitol Hill. Diflo, director of renal transplant surgery at NYU Medical Center, will testify Wednesday before the House of Representatives Subcommittee on International Operations and Human Rights about patients who have come to him implanted with organs bought from China's death row.
Human rights advocates say the hard cash paid by patients flying to China for the transplants has corrupted the Chinese judicial system by providing a market incentive for additional executions in a nation that already kills more prisoners each year than the rest of the world's countries combined. Senate leaders, including New York's pair of Democrats, have expressed "horror" at the allegations, but no hearings on the issue are yet planned in the upper house of Congress.
Diflo first shared his experiences with the Voice (see " China's Execution, Inc.," May 8) after the paper chased down a rumor that he'd expressed concerns before an NYU Medical Center Ethics Committee. "My whole point of talking to you was spreading this information as far as I could, and I was surprised how far this has spread," said Diflo, who by going on record made real what had been a dark suspicion in the human rights community in the United States for years.
The doctor was outraged by the practice, but he might nevertheless find himself at odds with his hosts in Washington. The chairwoman of the subcommittee, Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, a Republican known for backing anti-Castro Cuban causes, has drafted a bill to ban Chinese physicians from entering the United States "for training in organ or bodily tissue transplantation."

When he read the bill, Diflo was taken aback. "That sounds a little Draconian. It seems kind of shortsighted, really," he said.
Harry Wu, a human rights crusader who has spent decades in Chinese prisons, says he helped model the bill on one prohibiting Chinese doctors involved with contraception from entering the U.S. because of the communist government's program of coerced abortions.
Wu, founder of the Laogai Research Foundation, an investigative nonprofit named for China's gulag, is adamant. His group issued a report with the troubling charge that the cause of death of some Chinese prisoners is the organ harvesting itself, done by doctors.
Wu hopes the bill will cut through the static of rationalizations with which doctors in China have surrounded themselvesexcuses Wu compares to the "greater good" German physicians manufactured to help them get through human experimentation during the Holocaust.
"Chinese doctors feel very honored to come to the United States. This bill will send a strong message to the people committing this practice: You are not a doctor. You are involved with murdering and you are violating human rights," Wu explained. Because prisoners' organs make up the lion's share of China's supply, a sweeping American law wouldn't accidentally net innocent doctors, he asserted.
University of Rochester physician and medical ethicist Mark Fox is also revolted by a system that may reward doctors for participating in executions for profit, but he shares Diflo's reservations about the proposed ban. "Our thought generally has been that while those stories raise concerns, we still have an obligation within the medical and scientific transplant community to broaden knowledge. We have a responsibility to provide training even if there are limits on how we can influence how it's applied in another context," he said. Fox, the incoming ethics committee chairman for the United Network for Organ Sharing, said American doctors must use personal exchanges to "communicate our values."
If there are butchers in China masquerading as transplant physicians, Fox and Diflo would rather deprive them of a market by tackling the American organ shortage. Diflo puts his faith in a combination of public education and emerging technologies. Fox said that to shorten years-long waiting lists, doctors must prescribe a more bitter medicine that "runs contrary to everything physicians are taught." They must learn to look many patients in the eye and say no. "We don't do a good job of saying, 'You're too sick to benefit.' "

Hey ryu1.
The area will involve the integral so you need to be able to solve the integral.
Hint: Try substituting in (2 - 1 + 1) and getting your integral in terms -1 + a/(1+2x) dx and consider the derivative of log(1+2x).
In this problem, need to find the area below the function:
in the interval [0,1].
And above the x axis.
I am told there is some logarithms involved here.
After sitting all night....another problem:
Prove that the function has an absolute minimum.

Tulsa's Neon Sign Shines Again
By Margaret Foster | Online Only | May 5, 2009
Next week the city of Tulsa, Okla., will officially dedicate a beloved neon sign recently moved to a new site on Route 66. The huge Meadow Gold dairy sign has been a city icon since the 1940s.
"Even younger people—the 20-year-olds who would have no recollection of that era—are still gong to be awestruck," says Dennis Whitaker, city planner. "It's just really unique." Moving and restoring the glowing monument took years. "It was a lot of work," Whitaker says, "but it's something that Tulsans are remarkably excited about."
This week workers are testing the sign's neon tubes in preparation for the May 22 dedication.
"I'm overjoyed. It's a dream come true," says Lee Anne Zeigler, executive director of the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture, which oversaw the restoration of the Meadow Gold sign. "Watching it go back up again has just been a thrill."
The sign, neglected and dark since the 1970s, was slated to be torn down in 2004 by a car dealership. Owner Chris Nikel later agreed to donate the sign to the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture if it could remove and store the two 20-foot-by-40-foot panels. The Meadow Gold sign's new address isn't far away: the owner of an adjacent building donated land to the city of Tulsa for the sign's new home base.
Lights, Camera, Action
The Meadow Gold sign's revival spurred an interest in Tulsa's neon heritage. Last year the National Trust's Southwest Office gave the Tulsa Architectural Foundation a grant of $1,500 toward a neon sign survey of 198 locations in the city. After the survey is completed later this year, the foundation hopes to create a tour of the city's glowing gems.
Working with the state historic preservation office and the National Park Service, the city built a brick support pavilion that resembles the now-demolished one-story historic structure that once supported the sign. Whitaker says the city wanted to "to create a pavilion under that sign where people can come and commemorate and talk."
The Tulsa Foundation for Architecture partnered with the Oklahoma Route 66 Association to appeal to "Road Warriors" and preservationists across the nation. Within weeks, the foundation received nearly $8,000. The foundation also received a $15,000 grant toward the estimated $60,000 restoration of the icon the National Park Service's Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program.
Zeigler compares the Meadow Gold sign to a beacon that "may very well set a precedent," she says. "We have heard from several historic neon sign owners who would love to take their signs out of storage, restore and replace them along Route 66."

Lets meet Nayantara's latest lover boy
The story to unfold in flashback goes back to the shooting days of the Tamil movie Villu. If sources are to be believed, Nayantara and Prabhu Deva bonded well during the shoot. She played the lead heroine role in this Prabhu Deva directed movie. The friendship blossommed and love was to follow suit.
To sprinkle some spice in the story, rumour mongers hail that the ace dancer and choreographer graced the Malayalam movie Bodyguard with his gracious presence only for Nayantara. He took time out of his busy schedule in Tamil for a Malayalam movie upon the request of his sweetheart. Nayantara the sensational actress has always raised eyebrows with her actions and love relationships.
If stories are to be believed then our poor Prabhu Deva would have been married twice or thrice or more by now. Meena was once hailed as his lover and later his beloved wife. The world of cinema has been forever infested with gossips. So let us wait till the cat is out of the bag and until then chew upon the hottest gossip that Prabhu Deva has come to the Malayalam film industry for our very Nayantara.


text: As a Designer, I sometimes need to evaluate different technologies and platforms from a Designer's perspective. Why is it important to get a Designer's view? As Designers we can quickly be boxed in with inflexible UI layers, unusable sets of standard patterns, and the inability to create a great experience. By reviewing and testing, we can determine the pros and cons of a given technology solution. In honor of Eclipsecon 2008 😉 I've put together a presentation on a popular application platform – the Eclipse RCP.
