Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Week 24!!!! We're past the halfway mark!!! not me tho..but that's ok RIGHT!!! right. I'm working on Jewel right now..might get it done tonite...I'm not too keen on the Indian on horse back...I don't like it for some reason... may H.be I will?
No new blocks for me this week. Crystal and I are going to work on getting papers and fabrics cut so the next time we get together we can just sew! Can't wait to see everyone elses blocks.
No candy to see???? I have been working on other projects that have gotten behind on, and hoped to see what everyone did with this week's blocks. I think I might sub.the Indian Hatchet for Indian and horse.
I don't think I'll be sewin' this week at all. Well maybe on Fri. We've got ta go & close on the house in Brady tamorra' & will stay overnight. DH & DS have ta be back here on Fri. Then if the exterminator says that it is ok we'll be takin' some furniture on Sat.
Whoo, I need a break from just thinkin' about it. Who's got the marshmallows???
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
I'm hoping to get back in the saddle soon .... got my FWS hanging sleeve installed, and was so into it that I finally put one onto my Shabby Chique OBW. So tonight I started cutting out the infamous Monty the Mountie for the International Patriotic Challenge! I need it to be done or well on the way, before I can return to PC sewing. So sad as I so didn't want to fall behind.
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
I'm way behind too.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
I thought I might not make it this week also but my wonderful old Janome just purred along after I gave it a good clean and an oil.
Honchey I didn't do the Indian on Horseback block, it just seemed an odd block to me and also my fabric would not have suited. Hope you like the block I chose....
I didn't get this weeks done or last weeks even posted...they are done. It looks like all of us are busier than a cat on a hot tin roof! Maybe I'll have time to post pics this afternoon. I've had 2 days of quilt classes and have to focus on getting ready to fly out to my DGD's wedding this Friday. Speaking of hot, how has the weather been treating you all? We got over 2 inches of rain last Saturday which was a real relief and now it's been in the 90's every day since. Still cools down reasonably well at night so we haven't put in the window AC. DH likes to go as long as possible without it and he has a system with the fans that works well for out little house, at least for a time.
Dubib...congratulations on the closing. Sounds like you guys will be keeping the road busy between Midland and Brady!
Mirabelle...how is the moving going on in your part of the world? Is your DS the last one living at home?
I did the Indian block but not too fond of it; it also is facing the wrong way ("Go west, young man!") I also didn't paper piece Jewel and it's the wonkiest block I've made. Will try to post later.
After falling on May 26 and all x-rays negative, they repeated my mother's x-rays on Monday and she has 3 broken bones in her foot and a small fracture in her ankle. Now I feel guilty for pushing her at Physical Therapy. So, we start over!
Imagine all the people living life in peace...(John Lennon 1940-1980)
JanRN, that's funny, (go west, young man). I'm not fond of my indian block either, it's very strange looking. Sorry about your Mom. Don't feel guilty, you didn't know. Haven't started Jewel yet. It's going to be so hot today, with high humidity. Will not be a happy camper.
QuiltE, I'm looking forward to seeing your Monty the Mountie.

"You're About To Learn Secrets That
Most Men Will Never Know
About How To Be A Better Lover..."
Dear Friend,
If you've found this website, you obviously want to learn how to be a better lover.
I don't blame you! Most of the men on this planet want to be a better lover.
I wasn't always good at sex. I've had my highs and lows, but I kept one important thing in mind the whole time. I kept learning. If I encountered a problem, I went searching for information. When I wanted to spice things up, I went searching for information. With all this information I've been able to consistently amaze women in bed and receive rave reviews.
How To Be A Better Lover By
Ignoring What Most People Say
Sure - I became a better lover but it's probably not the way you're thinking. Because if you're looking for sex advice, you're constantly bombarded with new tricks and techniques to please your lover. Just take a look at the cover of Cosmo...
These tricks and techniques sell a ton of magazines, but they really aren't the key to pleasing your lover. To be completely honest, I don't really have that many great tricks up my sleeve. In fact, I can't really think of any mind blowing super techniques I use!
When it comes down to it, sex is just like any other activity. If you want to get good at it, you have to master the fundamentals. Too many guys skip the fundamentals and go straight to "101 super techniques guaranteed to make your lover have instant multiple orgasms tonight!!!" Sure, techniques are fun, but they're not the real reason a woman will orgasm.
You can learn all the techniques in the world, but if you DON'T get a few basic fundamentals right, your love life (and your sex life) will be lacking forever.
Women Aren't Like You
The bottom line is: Women aren't wired the same way as men. And if you truly want to please a woman, you need to think differently.
If you've been searching for sexual advice, you've probably found two main types:
- The "Insert penis into vagina" type
These are your sexual health professionals who manage to turn sex into a mechanical process and, quite frankly, the most unsexy event ever.
- The "Instant multiple orgasms rah rah rah" type
These are your marketers who want to make piles of money off your pain. They offer you "all" the tricks in the world without talking about the root cause.
So what is the root cause of not pleasing a woman in bed?
Two Things:
Psychology and Basic Technique
If you want to sexually stimulate a woman, you first need to stimulate her mind. And we're not talking about candle lit dinners or moonlit walks here (although they can help), we're talking about learning the psychological triggers that really get a woman's juices flowing.
Next, you need to know what you're doing in the bedroom. Let's face it, no one teaches us how to make love to a woman. Between sex education class and porn movies, we're screwed... and not in a good way!
As much as the sexual health professionals will try and teach us how to be a better lover by finding the clitoris and other technical sounding body parts... you can't learn to pleasure a woman by separating the physical from the emotional.
And have you ever talked about sex with your friends? The conversation probably consisted of "yeah, I like totally fucked her brains out and she was screaming all night long." It's our macho nature, we're never going to ask for help or pretend we don't know something, especially when it comes to sex.
Sex Should Be Enjoyed by
Both Men and Woman
One of the biggest problems with society is our fear of sex. For some reason it's viewed as taboo and something that should occasionally be practiced but never talked about. For all the sex we see in the media, people are still reluctant to talk about it and unleash their sexuality.
It's nothing 'dirty' or 'disgusting.' It's an expression of love or even just an expression of attraction. You should stop feeling bad about your sexual impulses and embrace them (unless they involve children or animals!).
I want to help people understand their own sexuality and learn how to enjoy it again. Obviously, you want the same thing and that's why you're here. It's time to learn how to be a better lover without all the smoke and mirrors.

This season, kids are standing out to fit in. From Nike to Under Armour, Reebok to adidas, the latest trend in pre-teen footwear is the louder the better. Gone are the all white tennis shoes and in are sneakers with a predominantly black base and accent colors that in years previous you would only find in your highlighter pack. Neon green, bright aqua and orange are everywhere for the guys and the girls can enjoy the same colors in addition to hot pink.
One of the hottest shoes right now is the eagerly anticipated Nike Lebron X. Varying shades of teal make up the entire upper of the shoe. ENTIRE upper. Definitely not a shoe you would have seen on the gym floor back when Dad was in school.
For the girls, the Jordan Retro VI in Black, Pink Flash and Marina Blue is sure to turn heads and garner respect from both genders. Just goes to show that girls have just as much game on and off the court.

WW~Notes: I came across these horrendous crimes against children last week on Yahoo. Every day there are at least 5 to 10 more grizzly stories of parent's or caregivers killing babies, toddlers and young children. Something is causing this but it's anybody's guess as to what it might be, but it's definitely not normal. I've never heard of so much child abuse in my entire life.
NOTICE: My opinions of these heinous crimes against innocent children are in red.
I happened to open Yahoo News this morning just to see what kind of bullshit lies they were spewing, and right away came across some of the most horrendous stories I've ever heard regarding crimes against children, most notably toddlers and babies for Christ's sake.
The first and most tragic I was alerted to was a Frederick, Maryland man who was sentenced to 40 years in prison Thursday for what the judge called the "mind-boggling," fatal abuse of a 2-year-old boy who was whipped with a belt, kicked, shaken, slammed against kitchen cabinets and forced to brush his teeth with a steel barbecue brush.
Frederick County Circuit Judge G. Edward Dwyer cited statements from Brittle's own adolescent son that Brittle began beating Robert Watkins weekly after the boy moved into their home in early 2013. The frequency increased to at least once a day in the month before Robert died from devastating brain injuries on Sept. 8, 2013, the boy told police.
Brittle's wife Melissa was sentenced last week to 20 years for allowing the abuse. Both pleaded guilty last year to first-degree child abuse resulting in death, which carries a 40-year maximum penalty. Raymond Brittle also pleaded guilty to second-degree child abuse.
The boy's mother, who considered Brittle her stepfather, had put the child in Brittle's care. That woman's stepmother, Jennifer Ann Ward, tearfully begged the court for the maximum sentence. Then, addressing the 6-foot-1, 260-pound Brittle, who also appeared to be crying, she said, "I pray in prison there is a bully bigger and badder than you."
State's Attorney J. Charles Smith said the final beating, delivered in the kitchen with the couple's other children watching, was meant to punish the boy for refusing to eat.
WW~Notes: Descended from Saxon warriors in England, I am in favor of this monster being hung, drawn and quartered, then sending his rotting corpse to the four corners of America as a warning finally displaying his head on a pike at the Frederick, MD court house. But instead what does this evil judicial system decide; send him to prison for 40 years. He suspended another 15 years. Brittle must serve at least half his prison sentence before he's eligible for release, followed by five years of supervised probation. All my hopes rest on the fact that most prisoners hate child killers and as was the case of Jeffrey Dahmer I hope Maryland tax-payers will not have to take care of this criminal for too long.
Then down in GADSDEN, Ala. a 49-year old grandmother, Joyce Hardin Garrard, "tortured" her granddaughter by forcing her to run until she dropped and later died should be convicted of capital murder in the girl's death, an Alabama prosecutor told jurors Friday.
"The reason that child is dead is that she was forced to run for hours," Assist District Attorney Carol Griffith said.
Prosecutors contend Hardin forced Savannah to run for hours as punishment for a lie, leading to her collapse and death in a hospital days later.
Griffith said Garrard killed the child intentionally by berating her and making her run around the yard picking up sticks
"She was tortured," Griffith said.
The question of intent is crucial. Garrard could face a death sentence if convicted.
Also accused in the case is Savannah's stepmother, Jessica Mae Hardin. She has pleaded not guilty to charges that she didn't try to help the girl and should be held responsible for her death.
WW~Notes: This is another predator of children even though family who should be taken out back and hung on the nearest tree and left to rot. Why should she be left in peace when she offered no peace to her own granddaughter.
The corrupt, Jewish judicial system does not allow retribution for the families of the victims. We have to be good civilized slaves and just take whatever ruling they decide. As I've said life imprisonment provides perks that most people don't have on the outside. Three square meals a day, medical and dental care, daily exercise, and the ability to obtain a college education and loads of free time.
Here is just one state, California, reporting how much it costs to incarcerate one criminal.

How much does it cost
to incarcerate an inmate?

- It costs an average of about $47,000 per year to incarcerate an inmate in prison in California.
- Over two-thirds of these costs are for security and inmate health care.
- Since 2000-01, the average annual cost has increased by about $19,500. This includes an increase of $8,300 for inmate health care and $7,100 for security.
WW~Notes: The monsters that murder, maim, cripple and destroy the psychological innocence of our children if they haven't already killed them, should be eliminated, cancelled, terminated – immediately. They have no right to live on this planet with the threat they pose to the youngest and most vulnerable members of our society.
The last two articles are gut-wrenching in scope when the thought passes and you wonder how human beings could be so psychotically evil.

Which duck?
I'm making a change in the left top header [update: already changed]. Instead of the star in the orange field, I'm replacing it with Dinah's duck. I've made three design options. Our readers get to pick which one to use.
Dinah, ClinkShrink, & Roy produce Shrink Rap: a blog by Psychiatrists for Psychiatrists. A place to talk; no one has to listen. All patient vignettes are confabulated; the psychiatrists, however, are mostly real. --Topics include psychotherapy, humor, depression, bipolar, anxiety, schizophrenia, medications, ethics, psychopharmacology, forensic and correctional psychiatry, psychology, mental health, chocolate, and emotional support ducks. Don't ask. (It's not Shrink Wrap.)
I'm making a change in the left top header [update: already changed]. Instead of the star in the orange field, I'm replacing it with Dinah's duck. I've made three design options. Our readers get to pick which one to use.
Labels: ducks
Vote for the middle one!
The middle duck is the cutest!!
Well, it's almost a wash, in that slightly more than half voted for the yellow duck and the rest (48% of ~80) voted for the orange duck, though their votes were split between the white eye and the black eye.
I failed as a survey designer, however. The choices were about duck color and eye color, so I should have presented this as four options (2x2) rather than three.
Nonetheless, we'll switch to the yellow one, unless we hear a hue and cry about it. (Frankly, I thought the orange white-eye duck was the most design-worthy, but I am not known for my design-savviness.)
Thanks for voting early and often (Dinah) and helping us make this decision.
I was torn between the orange and orange, so I went with the yellow.
Leslie, I hope you don't use this same voting behavior when faced with two Republicans (or Dems), LOL.
Roy, this voting behavior is strictly reserved for ducks. When it comes to politics, I generally try to choose the lesser of two evils, then consume copious amounts of alcohol.

A bombshell of an attack ad in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race is causing more shock waves.
"It's time to rethink electing justices," declared a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial today.
The editorial was headlined, "A misleading ad," and it said the campaign spot attacking Justice David Prosser "should be Exhibit A for why electing state Supreme Court justices is a bad idea."
An editorial in the National Review Online, meanwhile, denounced the ad and appealed for supporters of Justice Prosser to make political donations to certain third-party groups, saying conservatives nationwide ought to "make this campaign their own."
The attack ad by the liberal Greater Wisconsin Committee accused Justice Prosser, when he was a prosecutor in the late 1970s, of failing to aggressively investigate sex abuse allegations against a Catholic priest (see Gavel Grab). The Journal Sentinel editorial, after exploring details of the ad's claims, faulted the ad as misleading.
The editorial went on to suggest that Justice Prosser has become "the target of the kind of advertising that he and two other Supreme Court justices last year declined to condemn." That ethics case involved Justice Michael Gableman (see Gavel Grab for background). The editorial concluded:
"Prosser's opponent in the April 5 election, JoAnne Kloppenburg, should disavow this ad as well. And the state of Wisconsin should think again about whether the election of Supreme Court justices – which can lead to these kinds of abuses – still makes sense. We don't think it does."
In the candidates' final debate, Justice Prosser talked about some of his rulings and the ways that he said they benefited Milwaukee businesses and taxpayers. Kloppenburg contended the judge's remarks were inappropriate in a contest for the court, according to a Journal Sentinel article.
Justice Prosser branded his challenger as a "very liberal Democrat" and "way out on the fringe."
Kloppenburg accused Justice Prosser, a former Republican legislator, of having a "partisan approach" to judging.
The National Review editorial denounced the attack ad as "shameful libel." It encouraged the judge's backers to donate to the Wisconsin Club for Growth or Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, while providing online links for making the contributions.
Both Justice Prosser and challenger Kloppenburg have received public funding for their campaigns, under a new state law for public funding of judicial elections.
The National Review editorial also discussed Republican Gov. Scott Walker's successful legislation to strip most public employees of collective bargaining rights. The law is being challenged in the courts. Accordingly, the April 5 court election is drawing increased attention.
"It is important that conservatives nationwide make this campaign their own," the editorial said. It was headlined, "Bench Brawl in Wisconsin."
"Every arrow in the quiver — court cases, judicial elections, recall, lawsuits, lies, libels, and brute thuggery — will be thrown at this case, along with lots of money derived from the union dues that state and local governments helpfully deduct from their employees' paychecks on the unions' behalf. Wisconsin may seem an unlikely battleground, but a line must be drawn, and this is the place to draw it."
On the left, ActBlue, which calls itself the online clearinghouse for Democratic action, provides a means for donors to help the Greater Wisconsin Committee. That group, the ActBlue Web site states, "is engaged in a grassroots lobbying effort to raise awareness about questions concerning Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser's impartiality."

In Harm's Way: Remembering the Life of Kaiim Vieira
Kaiim Vieira was born in a Brooklyn hospital 18 years ago today. He grew into a six-foot-two teen who had a knack for getting folks to laugh even when they didn't want to. He used to call his mother by the nickname "Muffin."
A week and a half ago, Kaiim was shot 10 times and killed after an altercation on Fulton Street in Brooklyn. It was less than three miles from where his own father was gunned down 14 years ago.
"My son became another statistic, and that was something I said he would never be," said Kaiim's grief-stricken mother, Iasia Tyre, through tears.
Since Kaiim's death on September 14, his large extended family has banded together at his aunt's apartment in the Gowanus Houses to make arrangements, stay on top of the police investigation and, more than anything, comfort each other. A big part of that has been sharing stories about Kaiim.
Tyre, 37, said her son, who was known for his goofy dancing and joke telling, got his sense of humor from his father.
"We went out to eat one time and [father and son] were sticking candy in their nose," she recalled. "The two of them -- doing the same thing."
In March 1998, their joyous days abruptly ended when Kaiim's father, Trevor, was shot and killed by an acquaintance in the East New York section of Brooklyn.
Kaiim was 3-years old and didn't understand that his father was dead.
"He would ask me every day, 'Did daddy wake up yet? Did daddy wake up yet?'" Tyre said, admitting that she was filled with guilt that Kaiim had to grow up without his father.
Tyre went back to school to get her Master's degree to better her family's life and get them out of public housing in Queens. She began working for the Administration for Children's Services, the city agency that aims to protect the city's kids from abuse and neglect.
(Photo: In this family photograph, Iasia Tyre, a proud mother, looks dreamily at her baby boy Kaiim. Courtesy of Iasia Tyre)
But she said trying to teach her own son about surviving painful episodes like getting beat up was the most challenging job. Tyre said the cruelty of the streets caught up with her son and he started to get in trouble.
He had a knife pulled on him and had a tooth chipped in fight by the time he was in high school, she said.
Tyre drove Kaiim to and from school, met with teachers, counselors — and eventually judges — but everything she tried ultimately failed to protect him.
"I'm supposed to save people's children but I couldn't save my own," said Tyre, her voice cracking. "And that hurt. And I tried. I tried."
Tyre vows to move to Maryland to give Kaiim's younger brother a chance to grow up far from life-interrupting violence.
"I give myself two months and I'm leaving," she said. "I refuse to raise another child in NYCHA. I refuse to raise another child in New York City."
Tyre is planning to visit her son's gravesite at Rosehill Cemetery in Linden, N.J. today.
She'll be releasing 18 balloons in honor of Kaiim's birthday.

The AN operations form part of Wesfarmers' chemicals, energy and fertiliser's division, which lifted earnings by 44 per cent in 2011 to $283 million. It benefited from a $42 million insurance claim from the Varanus Island gas disruption and higher fertiliser earnings.

I cast my own and shoot them in my 1895 with no leading at all.
I got to shoot my new to me marlin 1895 today and put 30rds. of my plinking load through it. I used .459 405gr over 30 grs. of IMR 4198, (which has worked well for me in an H&R Buffalo Classic and a Ruger No.3)and got the ever so teensiest amount of leading that came right out with a good cleaning. I've heard alot of complaints about lead bullets with microgroove but I've also heard great success stories from those who used .459 bullets under 1500fps. This load should be 1300-1400 fps depending upon source I can't say for sure because a chronograph is still on my must buy list. I'm new to shooting cast in rifles but have been doing it in handguns for several years, and I've had old timers tell me that if you get it just right they'll be no leading at all. Others have told me that leading is a part of life so I don't know what to think. Anyone have any sucess using cast in a microgroove barrel?
I cast my own and shoot them in my 1895 with no leading at all.
"It appears as though my hypocrisy knows no bounds"
Lord, make me fast and accurate, let my aim be true and my hand faster than those who seek to destroy me, grant me victory over my foes and those that wish to do harm to me and mine, let not my last thought be - 'If I only had my gun'- and Lord if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in a pile of warm brass,
My 45-70 micro groove shoots just under an inch at 100y with a tang sight with my cast loads if I do my part. They are sized .4595 (it won't chamber anything bigger), are 350gr (from an Accurate Mold) and have a homemade aluminium gas check. They're pushed by 36gr H4895 behind about 1gr of dacron filler. I think they're travelling around 1300 fps. I haven't tried a stouter load yet because I only hunt deer pigs and goats and roos so don't need one. But if I go north for some water buffalo, scrub bulls or camels I'll really stoke them.
I'm sure you'll be able to eliminate the leading, it just might take some fiddling.

Use gas checks and heat treated bullets sized as near .460 as you can get'em, and you'll never have any leading and push'em until your shoulder tells you to quit....
After that fun you'll be back to 1300-1500 fps..... But no leading either.
Salvaging old Marlins is not a past time ... It's a passion.
Mostly 1893 through 1959 Marlin levers, short carbines to long rifles.
Most models and variations in calibers
30/30, .308, .32, .35, .357, .45 Colt, 45/70 (a few)...
Cast and reload for 'em all, hunt year round.
I don't have any trouble with ether one of my 45/70s and i don't think you need a really hard bullet if you stay around 1600 fps a gas check would be nice but not really needed its up to you bullet fit is more important then bullet hardness that has been my experience anyway .
I should have mentioned I don't cast my own do to a lack of space and time. I bought these from cbbullets.com on recommendation from several guys at my lgs. I originally ordered them for my H&R buffalo classic and they were supposedly sized .458, but after checking them they actually mic at .4595-.460 with a BHN of 18. So I'm not sure if maybe there not quite hard enough or maybe my bore is way oversize. I'm only noticing this little bit of leading in the last 2-3" of the barrel and I never noticed a loss in accuracy.
those bullets sound about right ,I have had a smith and Wesson 629 shooting a quenched 250 gr RCBS 44-250-k do the same thing at around 1300 fps and as soon as i went to a little softer alloy bullet the problem went away .I have no problem with a 45/70 i have a GG and a 1977 22 inch 1895 and i don't have any problems with ether one .let us no how things turn out .

These Adorable Daughters Look Just Like Their Celebrity Daddies!
Some girls totally take after their dads. The resemblance between these tots and their celebrity pops is uncanny!
I don't think any girl likes to hear, "Omg, you look just like your father!" Except, of course, if your dad happens to be, hunky Brad Pitt or dreamy Keith Urban! These little ladies have a striking resemblance to their celebrity daddies and we think it's absolutely adorable!
These kids are the spitting images of their famous parents!
Honor and Cash Warren
With a mom named Jessica Alba and a dad like Cash Warren, how could 2-year-old Honor go wrong? We have to say though, put some light brown pig tails on Cash and you've got a grown up version of his daughter.
Tabitha and Matthew Broderick
16-month-old Tabitha looks more like her daddy Matthew Broderick than her twin sister Marion — who looks like their mom Sarah Jessica Parker! With those big brown eyes and the dark hair, it's obvious these two are a daddy-daughter pair.
Shiloh and Brad Pitt
With those baby blue eyes and that blonde-streaky hair, Brad Pitt and his 4-year-old daughter Shiloh are an adorable duo. With two of the best looking parents around, it's impossible for Shiloh not to be beautiful.
These dads love their kids so much!
Harlow and Joel Madden
Some celebrity couples look alike, take Nicole Richie and Joel Madden for instance. They passed on their big doe eyes to their 3-year-old daughter Harlow!
Sunday and Keith Urban
A lot of people say 2-year-old Sunday looks like her mommy Nicole Kidman, but we must say, she definitely has a little Keith Urban going on in that face. Look at those crystal blue eyes!
Sadie and Adam Sandler
Seriously, all you need to do is look at a photo of Adam Sandler and his 4-year-old daughter Sadie. She is his little clone — in a cute way, of course!
Celebrity moms steal sweet kisses from their kiddies!
Ella Bleu and John Travolta
John Travolta just talked about how his newborn son Benjamin looks just like him. But, maybe he should try looking at his 10-year-old daughter Ella, she's the spitting image of him.
Matilda and Heath Ledger
And how could we forget Matlida Ledger. Heath Ledger's memory literally lives on in his gorgeous 5-year-old daughter, who looks more and more like her dad with every passing year.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday voiced his opinion against Star Plus's controversial reality show "Sach Ka Saamna", saying that the programme was "not in the interest of our society".
Talking to reporters outside the venue of an official function, Chouhan said, "The programme is not in the interest of our society and I am personally against its airing. Anything and everything for the sake of earning money is not correct."
On whether the state government would ban its telecast, Chouhan said, "Legal opinion would be sought in this matter."
A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator, Dhruv Narain Singh had on July 24 in the state assembly demanded banning the telecast of the reality show in the state, describing it as against Indian culture and dignity of women.
BJP spokesperson Umashankar Gupta also supported the demand, saying undignified questions were being asked from women contestants during the programme and its impact was bad on Indian families.

While waiting for a bus at Gesr Soueis the other day I saw a man's foot get run over by a microbus. A sudden screech of brakes and I turned round to see the unfortunate foot owner using both arms in order to extract said extremity out from under the wheel of the microbus which had elected to stop, rather than keep going and possibly reduce the damage. There was a certain gracefulness about it all, somehow.
In other news I came home yesterday to find four fire engines parked in the street perpendicular to ours and Upstairs Auntie amongst a bunch of people looking up at the sky.
"Where were you! I rang you a million times and knocked on your door to tell you to come and look at the fire! The smoke was pouring out and the smell was terrible!" she said, almost screeching with excitement.
"Where is it?"
"It's out now but it was on that floor up there where that boy is standing. The firemen had to use the lift: their ladders weren't long enough."
The inevitable exchange then developed between Upstairs A and a bystander about the lamentable lack of equipment in Egypt and, where there is equipment, the lamentable lack of knowledge about how to use it.
On a related note, I watched an item on terrestrial telly the other day in which the authorities feted themselves on the purchase of X number of new ambulances on a stretch of highway somewhere in Egypt. There will now be an ambulance stationed every 50 km we were told – in between the billion LE luxury gated-community compounds overlooking these roads.
I can't find anything about this new ambulance scheme other than this from our friends in the Egypt State Information Service: (I copy pasted. All spelling mistakes are theirs).
One billion pound was earmarked to carry out a comprehensive strategy to develop ambulance service in Egypt, Health Minister said Wednesday 4/7/2007.
In press statements, Hatem Gabali said the service will be equipped with 3,200 new ambulances, 1,000 of which will arrive in Egypt in 2007.
Money coming from selling lands for investors in the new communities will go to this purpose, he said.
He said the strategy aims at providing one ambulance for every 25,000 people in accordance with international criteria.
The plan will be finalised by July 2008. He called on businessmen to boost the ambulance service by offering money to buy 500 mew ambulances and train ambulance teams on the latest pre-hospital care methods.
The government is thus selling land to private investors and then generously investing the profits from these sales in the purchase of ambulances because the health sector is so screwed by the reduced public sector spending implemented under the conditions surrounding loan packages that the purchase of ambulances doesn't just happen, it's news.
And then after all that the government still has to go cap in hand to businessmen to pay for 500 new ambulances, the most basic and most important of a state's obligations towards its people, keeping them alive, having again been reduced to – and reduced by – business, and chance.
Gated community dwellers unlucky enough to require one of the shiny new ambulances stationed every 50 km when it is already in use should remind themselves as they expire that the impressive economic growth due in part to slashed public sector spending and reduced state interference in the economy and increased foreign investment has allowed them to enjoy their desert kingdoms and its golf courses unencumbered by anything as inconvenient as meaningful taxes or a duty to others.
Poor people taken out on one these highways should be glad that they are no longer making a nuisance of themselves and being a parasitical burden on the entity formerly known as society and remind themselves that it's all fate.
Speaking of roads and traffic, I saw a propaganda advert for the new traffic law the other day, the one with Yosra going on about safety belts in it, and at the end it said "the new traffic law: following it is no longer optional" or something along those lines. Which means that some drivers in Egypt have been needlessly abiding by the previous traffic law for all these years when they could have been doing handbrake skids into pedestrians with abandon.
It also made me wonder whether other laws are only optional. I believe this to be the case with legislation concerning gross criminal negligence and ship-owning members of the NDP whose ships sink killing 1,000
insignificant powerless people but who manage to turn potential criminal convictions into extra slices of cake at lunch: "not for me, thanks, I've had quite enough!" before buggering off to London.

UK basks in glow of stunning opening
AP, AFP and Reuters Sunday, July 29, 2012, 12:05 am TWN
LONDON -- The London Olympics moved into competition mode on Saturday to award the first gold medal and announce its first doping case as Britain awoke euphoric after a stunning opening ceremony.
Queen Elizabeth II toured the Olympic Park and Chinese shooter Yi Siling captured gold in the women's 10-meter air rifle. On the negative side, The International Olympic Committee banned Albanian weightlifter Hysen Pulaku after he tested positive for a banned steroid, stanozolol, on July 23.
Superstar swimmer Michael Phelps, meanwhile, barely qualified for his final.
South Korea's Park Tae-hwan was reinstated in the 400 meters freestyle final at the London Olympics on Saturday after winning an appeal against a disqualification, world governing body FINA said.
Park, defending the Olympic title he won in Beijing four years ago, was initially disqualified after officials ruled that he false started in his morning heat but won an appeal to overturn the decision.
On Friday night, the British monarch was one of the hits of the opening ceremony that was heralded in the local media as "breathtaking and bonkers" and which had placed the city at the "center of the world."
The queen provided the highlight of Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle's high-adrenaline show. With film trickery, Boyle made it seem that Britain's 86-year-old monarch parachuted into the stadium with James Bond star Daniel Craig.
"Boyle's inventive ceremony grabs the license and thrills," said the Guardian, and all of Britain agreed.
London Mayor Boris Johnson said the four-hour long ceremony was "stupefying."
"The big anxiety we had was, could we do something that would rival Beijing," said Johnson. "I think we knocked the spots off it."
Johnson, a conservative, said he was delighted with the political parts of the show. "The thing I loved was the heavy political stuff. I loved the emergence of the urban proletariat and the rise of the chimneys and the forging of the ring."
Alexandre Vinokourov of Kazakhstan claimed an unexpected but deserved win in the men's Olympic road race Saturday, wrecking Mark Cavendish's hopes of delivering a first gold of the games for the hosts.
Colombia's Rigoberto Uran won the silver with Norway's Alexander Kristoff taking the bronze after 249.5 km of racing which finished in the shadow of Buckingham Palace on The Mall.
Race favorite Cavendish finished well off the podium as Britain's highly fancied team were undone by a combination of tactical racing and some incisive, late attacks.
With no race radios and teams of a maximum five riders, Britain were constantly tested throughout the race which took in nine laps of the hilly 15.4 km Box Hill circuit, to the south of London.
Hungarian fighter Eva Csernoviczki bounced back from being strangled unconscious to claim an unlikely bronze medal in the women's under-48 kg Olympic judo competition on Saturday.
Csernoviczki was rendered unconscious as she tried to resist a strangle in her quarter-final loss to Belgium's Charline van Snick. The referee immediately stopped the bout, awarding it to Van Snick, while the slumped Csernoviczki's arm started shaking before she regained consciousness.
Having lost in the quarter-final she was given a second medal chance in the repechage.
She beat China's Wu Shugen and then stunned world number one Tomoko Fukumi with a foot sweep in a sudden death golden score period to earn a podium finish.

The moment I arrived in Itacar� with my Brazilian and Swiss friends I fell in love with the town. It was dark and boys met the bus with wheelbarrows to tote bags to the pousada of your choice (or maybe theirs). They pushed the wheelbarrows with our bags in it over the cobblestones while I followed and went with the flow, letting my friends do all the talking.
The first day was spent walking to Prainha beach, which we discovered had been rated the 8th best beach in Brazil. The beaches around Itacar� were so different and much nicer than any of the other beaches I had been to on my trip so far. We walked past 3 beaches and then spent another hour walking through the forest until we got to Prainha, which was magnificent
Whilst eating dinner that night, Flavio brought another guy to our table whose name was Jacar� (alligator in English). Jacar� was a local berimbau maker and capoeira performer. I also think that he is a local safadinho. From the moment he sat next to me he was quite taken with me and kept staring at me intensely saying `Oh my God` and �Que linda`. He was supposedly leading us to a party on the beach but walking through the dark dirt roads away from the main street I think that his aim was to take me somewhere dark to kiss me. Something he succeeded in doing - although the way he let his tongue guide its way to my mouth is not my favoured kissing style.
Later in the evening after having seemingly wandered the entire town listening to Jacar� play the berimbau (a curved stick with a string and a coconut on the bottom that is played with a stone and stick) and point out various sights, Jacar� and his friend who had teamed up with Debora took us to this lookout for more kissing. I think that my naivete wore off after Jacar� turned on the charm and suggested that we have sex on the beach
The following day we beach hopped some more small, pristine beaches, complete with palm trees and rocks at either end of the beach. Again, we had to walk through the forest and on our way to the final beach I got some amazing photos of the coast. At the last beach of the day, Itacarinha, we met up with Jacar� who then taught me how to surf. I had never been surfing before and I got up the first go, but fell off rather quickly. After a few goes and almost drowning from my inability to control the surfboard while paddling, I have decided that I�m not a surfista.
That evening I farewelled my new Brazilian buddies who were headed to Salvador for Carnaval, while I had decided to stay in Itacar�. Jacarè came to the hostel and invited me to a beach the next day with him and his friends, but I told him that I would wait until then to decide. Lucky I didn�t commit to anything as I was hideously sick all night and needed the next day to recover in bed, letting myself get well for Carnaval. That was the last I saw of Jacarè until my final night in Itacarè.
What I liked the most about Itacarè was that it was a little surfing town that seemed to be off the backpacker trail and consisted mostly of locals and Brazilian surfers or travellers. Every day I saw the same faces out and I became friendly with a few of the locals.
For Carnaval there was a big stage set up on the beach in front of a church and parades along the streets and waterfront. I joined in on a number of parades and samba�d down the street. Kids and bigger kids dressed up in these big, bright, oversized clown costumes, complete with gumboots and a mask and a hat or wig to cover their hair. They had ugly masks and had stuck rings through the noses and some were wearing up to four pairs of sunglasses. They would dance around the truck with the music in the parade and just wander all over the town.
At night it was customary to get many offers from men, all who wanted a kiss (and probably more). They would grab your arm and tell you how beautiful you were and that they wanted you to be their girlfriend. They would then beat their heart or kiss their hand. After 5 offers that I declined on the first night, the next I decided that I would go for whatever decent offer presented itself
On my final night in Itacarè and the final night of Carnaval, I went with the girls from the hostel to forrò dancing, which is partner dancing to slowish music. I was asked to dance by the guy Debora had kissed the first night there, and then his friend came up to me and danced with me. After a couple of songs I was suddenly being passionately kissed by Ranan and then had my neck taken hostage as he pressed kiss after kiss on my neck.
He asked me if I wanted to go to the festa with him so we left, but again naivete struck me and I didn�t realise that we would be going to the festa via the beach. Since most Brazilians live at home until they get married, they obviously use the beach as their second bedroom. During the day the beach is full of families and old people swimming and sitting at the beachside restaurants. By night the almost pitch black beach is inhabited by couples frolicking in various states of dress. I would never ever go to this beach during the day after walking past couples at the tables and in the sand.
At the festa we came across some of Ranan�s capoeira friends who were dancing beside a speaker playing reggae. We moved closer to the stage and I was captivated watching Ranan dance. He was so fluid and his skin was just so soft and smooth that I could have watched him all night.
Quintal club was one of the places along the beach where people were going. It wasn�t part of the Carnaval, just somewhere playing reggae and later trance music
Later, I was in Ranan�s arms facing the dancefloor when Jacarè came up to me and pulled my wrist hard. Ranan held me tight and then he and Jacarè started exchanging aggressive words. Not liking being in the middle I stepped free and went to Ariela and Georgia and told them that they were fighting over me. No sooner had I turned around than one of the most bizarre and incredible things happened. Ranan and Jacarè were fighting, capoeira style, in the middle of the dancefloor and people were clearing them room. Never have I had males fight over me before, let alone to capoeira fighters. It remains firmly ingrained in my memory, these two guys fighting over some dime-a-dozen foreign chick who couldn�t speak Portuguese and was leaving the following day.
If this wasn�t a good enough time to leave Itacarè there never would have been a better time.
What I learned
* I like the small towns off the backpacker circuit.
* The men in Itacarè are safadinhos and spend their lives romancing travellers.
* Brazilians have the softest, smoothest skin!!!!
* I�m quite addicted to the songs that were played at least 8 times a day at full bore during Carnaval.

The Mystery of Orcival HTML version
Chapter 18
A small, fine, chilly rain had succeeded the morning fog; but Sauvresy did not perceive it.
He went across the fields with his head bare, wandering at hazard, without aim or
discretion. He talked aloud as he went, stopping ever and anon, then resuming his course.
The peasants who met him - they all knew him - turned to look at him after having
saluted him, asking themselves whether the master of Valfeuillu had not gone mad.
Unhappily he was not mad. Overwhelmed by an unheard-of, unlooked-for catastrophe,
his brain had been for a moment paralyzed. But one by one he collected his scattered
ideas and acquired the faculty of thinking and of suffering. Each one of his reflections
increased his mortal anguish. Yes, Bertha and Hector had deceived, had dishonored him.
She, beloved to idolatry; he, his best and oldest friend, a wretch that he had snatched
from misery, who owed him everything. And it was in his house, under his own roof, that
this infamy had taken place. They had taken advantage of his noble trust, had made a
dupe of him. The frightful discovery not only embittered the future, but also the past. He
longed to blot out of his life these years passed with Bertha, with whom, but the night
before, he had recalled these "happiest years of his life." The memory of his former
happiness filled his soul with disgust. But how had this been done? When? How was it he
had seen nothing of it? And now things came into his mind which should have warned
him had he not been blind. He recalled certain looks of Bertha, certain tones of voice,
which were an avowal. At times, he tried to doubt. There are misfortunes so great that to
be believed there must be more than evidence.
"It is not possible!" muttered he.
Seating himself upon a prostrate tree in the midst of Mauprevoir forest, he studied the
fatal letter for the tenth time within four hours.
"It proves all," said he, "and it proves nothing."
And he read once more.
"Do not go to-morrow to Petit-Bourg - "
Well, had he not again and again, in his idiotic confidence, said to Hector:
"I shall be away to-morrow, stay here and keep Bertha company."
This sentence, then, had no positive signification. But why add:
"Or rather, return before breakfast."
This was what betrayed fear, that is, the fault. To go away and return again anon, was to
be cautious, to avoid suspicion. Then, why "he," instead of, "Clement?" This word was
striking. "He" - that is, the dear one, or else, the master that one hates. There is no

The sponsorship industry has been rife with rumours about Heineken getting out of sport in Australia. There is some suggestion the company might direct funds into the arts and might also aim to cut back its budget after its major investment in the rugby World Cup.
Heineken has always been a classic case study in how the relatively cheap sports sponsorship deals available in Australia by international standards can be used as part of a global marketing strategy.
Heineken always justified its multi-million-dollar investments in both the Australian Open and Heineken Classic on the basis that they reached massive overseas television audiences.
It has often been speculated that Heineken might spend as much on sports sponsorship as it made in profits in Australia - a ridiculous concept except if the marketing budget has an international orientation.
If sport loses Heineken, the $10 million black hole that would open in the sponsorship market is a scary prospect for many sport organisers, especially the Heineken Classic.
The collapse of Ansett almost 18 months ago resulted in the loss of multi-million-dollar sponsorship deals with sports such as cricket and AFL, forcing the codes to hastily find alternative sponsors.
A spokesman for the Australian Open, John Lindsay, said he did not know anything about Heineken's intentions, although he believed the company was very happy with the international exposure the event generated.
The organisers of the Heineken Classic were away from Melbourne this week on a debriefing conference following the tournament a fortnight ago and could not be contacted.
Sponsorship experts say it is likely that second-tier sports or clubs would lose from the potential loss of such an important sponsor as Heineken.
"I don't think the Australian Open or the golf tournament would have any trouble finding a replacement sponsor because they are both such big and high-profile events," one expert said.
"The trouble is that as a sponsor steps into those top-tier gaps, they might be pulling money away from less high-profile events elsewhere they used to support."
The domino effect of how sports sponsorship works can be seen by the increased role by Wizard Home Loans in the AFL pre-season competition.
Wizard first became involved in AFL at Collingwood via Eddie McGuire's encouragement. Wizard saw the benefits in football and when Ansett dropped out of the pre-season competition, Wizard jumped into the role. But the net result is that Collingwood suffered by losing much of Wizard's involvement.
Sweeney Sports, a marketing company that evaluates the impact of sponsorships, says that Heineken rates in the top-20 most recognised sponsors.
Martin Hirons, a director of Sweeney Sports, says his company's surveys indicate that in the niche golf market, Heineken had become the most recognised sponsor of all.
"Heineken has invested millions of dollars in two particular sports - golf and tennis - which cater more, generally speaking, for higher income earners . . . so you can understand their strategy," he said.

About Brig. General Joseph B. Plummer (USA)
Joseph Bennett Plummer (November 15, 1816 – August 9, 1862) was a career soldier in the United States Army, serving as a general during the American Civil War.
Plummer was born in Barre, Massachusetts, and educated in the common schools. He taught school for several years. In 1841, he received an appointment to the United States Military Academy. He received a brevet rank of second lieutenant in the 1st U.S. Infantry and served on garrison duty. He missed the first year of the Mexican-American War due to sickness. Plummer did quartermaster duty on the Texas frontier from 1848 until 1861. In 1852, he was promoted to a captaincy in the 1st U.S. Infantry. He married Frances Hagner; they had a son, Satterlee Clark Plummer, who later also became an officer in the U.S. Army after graduating from West Point in 1865.
Plummer was commissioned as the colonel of the llth Missouri Volunteers in September 1861 and assigned command of the post at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, a position he filled until March 1862. Then, he was appointed as a brigadier general, U.S. Volunteers. In April 1862, Plummer was promoted to major of the 8th U.S. Infantry in the Regular Army. He was wounded at the Battle of Wilson's Creek while commanding a battalion of Regulars.
Later, he commanded the 5th Division of Pope's army at New Madrid and the Island Number Ten campaign. He subsequently commanded a brigade of Stanley's division at Corinth and died in camp at Corinth on August 9, 1862 (exactly one year after Wilson's Creek) from lingering effects of his wounds and prolonged exposure in the field.
He was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Several computer store employees escaped a robbery attempt on the morning of May 9. Shortly after 11 a.m., three males wearing disguises entered the Queen Street East and Balsam Road store. The owner and employees managed to escape and phone police, while the suspects fled the scene empty-handed in a four-door orange sedan. The victims were not hurt.
A young adult and four teens face charges in a robbery investigation.
Shortly after midnight on May 17, police responded to a robbery call near Gerrard Street East and Victoria Park Avenue.
Police allege that three girls used Facebook to lure two boys to the area. When they arrived, two males wearing disguises approached and robbed them of cash and smartphones at knifepoint.
Officers spotted the suspects at a nearby restaurant, and after a long foot chase and further investigation, all five suspects were arrested. Police also recovered a number of other property including cell phones.
Jaden Sauve, 18, faces charges of robbery with a weapon, disguise with intent, weapons dangerous and possession of property obtained by crime.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins' 13-inning victory over the Cleveland Indians came with a price.
First baseman Justin Morneau, second baseman Nick Punto and catcher Joe Mauer were injured Thursday, leaving the team depleted for this weekend's series against the New York Yankees.
"We got the win," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "But we took a beating doing it."
Johan Santana tied a career high with 14 strikeouts, and Jacque Jones' single in the 13th inning gave the Twins a 4-3 victory.
Lew Ford's hustle turned his base hit off Rafael Betancourt (1-2) into a one-out double in the 13th. Two batters later, Jones hit a liner to right and Ford raced around third, beating Casey Blake's throw to the plate.
Morneau tweaked his left elbow while hitting balls off a tee before the game and was replaced after going 0-for-2 against Indians starter Scott Elarton. Morneau was taken for X-rays, which came back normal and he is listed as day to day.
Punto is headed to the disabled list after pulling his right hamstring while trying to steal second base.
"It'll be awhile for him," Gardenhire said.
Mauer aggravated a groin strain that kept him out last month. He was removed from the lineup in the 12th inning.
Six of the game's seven runs were scored in the first five innings. After that, pitching took over, with the Twins managing just four hits over the final eight innings and the Indians two over the final nine.
Cleveland managed only four hits against Santana, last season's AL Cy Young award winner, but scored three runs thanks to homers by Victor Martinez and Coco Crisp, who was activated from the disabled list before the game to replace an injured Juan Gonzalez, and a triple by Ben Broussard.
"He hung two sliders," pitching coach Rick Anderson said. "He threw the ball very well and did a good job of recognizing what was working and what wasn't."
Other than those big hits, however, the Indians did nothing against Santana, who ran his major league-leading strikeout total to 105. He also struck out 14 on Sept. 19 last year against Baltimore.
J.C. Romero (1-2) earned the win with an inning of scoreless relief, helping the Twins take two of three from their AL Central rivals.
Crisp went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and a sacrifice bunt for the Indians.
Gonzalez, a two-time AL MVP who has missed most of the past three seasons with injuries, strained his right hamstring in the first inning of Tuesday's game while trying to beat out a slow grounder in his first major league at-bat in more than a year.
He was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday.
Team officials said they were unsure how much time he would miss. He missed nearly three months with his last hamstring injury.
While not as overpowering as Santana, Elarton was just as sharp. He allowed just one run and three hits through the first four innings before Punto's two-run homer in the fifth tied the score at 3.
Elarton scattered five hits over seven innings, allowing just three runs and striking out three.
"I was in a position to do better than I did," Elarton said. "That's the disappointing thing."
The Indians jumped on Santana in the first inning when Martinez hooked a curveball just inside the foul pole in left field for a 1-0 lead. Broussard tripled past a diving Shannon Stewart in left on the next pitch and scored when Ronnie Belliard lined a single just past Santana's head.
Santana struck out his next four hitters and retired nine in a row. He needed just 11 pitches to strike out the side in the second and yielded just one hit the rest of the way, a homer to Crisp in the fourth that gave Cleveland a 3-1 lead.
Crisp had a chance to rob Mauer of a solo homer in the first, but he hit the wall unexpectedly, and the ball glanced off his glove.
"It was right there," Crisp said. "When I reached up, the baggie hit my shoulder blade and stopped my arm. It was an easy play. I didn't even have to jump."
It was yet another close ballgame between the teams. In 13 meetings this season, 11 have been decided by three runs or fewer, including eight one-run games and four that went extra innings.
"Us and the Twins, we've had tough games all year long," Cleveland manager Eric Wedge said. "It seems like every game has been tight."
- The Twins recalled Terry Tiffee from the minors to replace Punto.
- Minnesota's 18 strikeouts set a club record for an extra-inning game.
- Broussard had homered in consecutive games. He went 1-for-5.
- Leadoff hitter Jody Gerut was the only Indians player that did not strike out against Santana. He was 0-for-5 with a walk and struck out against Romero in the 13th.

Johnson Controls profit drops, shares fall
Shares of Johnson Controls fell 3% Friday after the company warned that a slowdown in European automotive production would hurt earnings in the quarter that just began.
Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI) reported a 16.5% drop in first-quarter earnings and said earnings in the fiscal second quarter wouldn't meet investment analysts' current forecast.
The Glendale-based Fortune 100 company said it is expecting a rebound in the second half of the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30, but it's seeing lower demand in Europe because of the economic woes and lower automotive production there. Johnson Controls announced moves last fall to restructure its European operations to cut costs and improve profitability.
Shares of Johnson Controls fell 95 cents to $31.01, after being off 5% earlier in the day. More than 14 million shares were traded, or more than triple a typical day's trading in recent months.
Sales in the first quarter were $10.4 billion, even with a year ago. Net income was $354 million, or 52 cents a share, compared with $424 million, or 62 cents a share last year.
The results were in line with analysts' forecasts – and the company is standing by its full-year outlook for profit. At the same time, Johnson Controls' outlook for the second quarter – 40 to 42 cents a share – is well below analysts' expectations of 52 cents.
The company said this quarter's outlook reflects challenging conditions in Europe as well as an active period of launching new supply programs for European carmakers.
Automotive production in Europe is projected to fall 14% this quarter, with North American automotive production down 2%, said Steve Roell, chairman and chief executive, during an investor conference call.
The next two quarters -- the second half of the company's fiscal year -- should see improved industry production, he added.
"Uncertainties remain in our global markets, and we expect earnings in the first half of fiscal 2013 to be significantly lower than 2012, consistent with our earlier forecast," Roell said in a statement. "We continue to have confidence in our full-year guidance for higher revenues and earnings in fiscal 2013. The long-term growth opportunities for our businesses are intact."
Johnson Controls' outlook about the current quarter could have other implications for investors of auto parts suppliers that haven't yet reported results for the October-December quarter, said David Leiker, investment research analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co., in a research note following the conference call.
Based on the production outlook, earnings for suppliers as a whole could hit bottom in the January-March quarter rather than the quarter just ended, Leiker said.
Sales in the quarter were similar to last year in the automotive seats, electronics and interiors businesses as well as the Milwaukee-based building efficiency business. Sales were up 4% in the Glendale-based power solutions, or battery, business.
In recent days, Johnson Controls has unveiled a micro-hybrid battery module that aims to boost cars' fuel efficiency, and said it has sold 18 million start-stop batteries worldwide. Start-stop batteries improve gas mileage because they allow a car's engine to stop momentarily when the brake pedal is pushed.
During the conference call, Roell said the company's sales of lead-acid car batteries sold in stores such as Sears and Walmart continue to be less than it forecast, because of the warmer-than-normal winter temperatures in much of the country.
Cold winter conditions typically cause more batteries to fail and be replaced. Last year, the fourth warmest winter on record in the United States led to lower aftermarket battery sales for Johnson Controls. But given the cold winter conditions now in the forecast for much of the country, Roell said the company isn't expecting a repeat of last year's weak aftermarket sales.
David Whiston, a research analyst at Morningstar Inc. in Chicago, said the company's confidence in an earnings rebound in the second half of its fiscal year could be optimistic, in that it implies an earnings per share growth rate of nearly 25%.
"We do not doubt management's ability to execute; however, we are concerned that management's discussion on the call of upcoming severe cold weather helping aftermarket battery demand may be overdone, as no one knows if this upcoming cold spell will last for the rest of the winter," Whiston said in a research note. "If February ends up being mild for winter temperatures, then we would not be surprised to see full-year guidance reduced when JCI reports its second quarter."

EnSync, Chinese partner team up on utility-scale energy storage
EnSync Energy Systems has shipped a utility-scale energy storage system to South Korea, the Menomonee Falls company said.
The 500-kilowatt-hour system incorporates enough battery power for four or more hours of discharge, using EnSync's zinc bromide flow batteries as well as power electronics and converters.
Formerly known as ZBB Energy, EnSync is focused on smaller energy storage systems for commercial buildings such as projects it's built in Hawaii in recent years. But it's also been working on larger energy storage systems.

This year's …
Hero. Lush, audience-friendly martial arts epic, likely to be as appealing to western tastes as eastern.
What's it all about?
A two-hour-plus treatment of the complicated life of Ip Man, wing chun master and legendary teacher, who died in 1972 aged 79. Apart from his own accomplishments, Ip gained posthumous renown after one of his students, Bruce Lee, achieved worldwide fame as a film actor. With Tony Leung Chiu-Wai in the lead role, The Grandmaster covers his tumultuous early life, against the backdrop of the Japanese invasion of China in 1937, up until his death. It's full of elaborate, emotionally charged confrontations with Ip's challenger Gong Er (played by Zhang Ziyi).
How did it happen?
After the 2007 fiasco that was My Blueberry Nights, director and sunglasses devotee Wong Kar-wai has stayed quiet, releasing only Ashes of Time Redux, a reworking of his 1994 film Ashes of Time. He spent three years researching martial arts and shooting this one, which was bankrolled largely by American producer Megan Ellison. China got the full 130-minute cut of the film but the US – at the behest of Harvey "Scissorhands" Weinstein – saw one that came in well under two hours.
Nominations it wants
Best foreign language would be its most likely berth, and it's just cleared the first hurdle, having been picked by Hong Kong as its representative. With Weinstein's legendary campaigning skills, you'd expect it to be there on awards night. Any other noms would be a long shot.
What it might win
As above. Hong Kong has never won the best foreign Oscar. At this stage the smart money is on Saudi Arabia's Wadjda. But they don't have Weinstein in their corner.
Reasons to fall for it
It really is an amazing-looking, brilliantly-made film, a thoroughly Wongian (or should that be Wongesque?) take on a familiar, easily-digestible genre. Wong, for better or worse, remains a proper auteur, who goes his own way; the Academy may well see this as an opportunity to say thanks.
Reasons it might fail
The Grandmaster is no Crouching Tiger: where the latter was all high-bounding joie de vivre, Wong's film is solemn, stately, and not exactly easy to disentangle. The purist art-cinema crowd will admire it, but it will struggle to entice the Hollywood mainstream.
When can we see it?
It's been and gone in the US, though on past form there may be a small re-release to snare Oscar-related buzz. No UK release appears to be imminent, sadly, so unless you were in Berlin you may not get to see it on the big screen.
In six words
In the mood for kung fu.

Crossbreed Supertuck; you'll love it!
I agree, shorts and T-Shirt works real well. Two week trial if it does not work for You return it, Great CS and team.
I don't consider a fitted T to be light clothing for hot weather. I like something a bit looser, with a collar. It not only looks better, but ventilates better. I live 50 miles inland on the Texas Gulf Coast, so I know a few things about heat and humidity.
I don't carry Glocks anymore, and don't carry far behind the hip IWB, so I can't advise further. I did carry a G29, identical in size to a G30, for a while, but not IWB.
Others have tossed out plenty of holster recommendations so I'll just add a few general opinions...
1) I'm not sure how you define "fitted" when it comes to t-shirts but loose clothing is your friend. This doesn't mean you have to look like you're wearing a sack...you can still look decent and carry a full/compact-sized gun. I carry a G19 under shorts and a t-shirt or hawaiian/camp/guayaberra shirt in the summer with no problems.
2) Why do you choose to carry in the manner you specified (5-6, palm-out draw)? Carrying that far behind you requires much more joint-articulation than if you were carrying farther forward...even 4-4:30 would be an improvement.
3) Give some thought to "Appendix carry." In addition to several other advantages, I personally find this to be the easiest way to conceal (provided I don't have to tuck in my shirt).

Bob Diforio brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 131 Designs von 40 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
New Wall Street Productions LLC
President of a TV Production Company which has just finished shooting a 1 hour spec pilot entitled "Titans of Gefa". The company will be shopping the pilot to the various networks and other production companies. The genre of the pilot is a dramatic comedy and the TV Production Logo should reflect this.
The target audience will be TV executives, producers and Agents at first. The audience upon distribution will be TV viewers and advertisers.
Looking for something that will signify importance and confidence. The incorporation of the actual "Wall Street" street sign would be interesting in the Logo as would the "Bull" and the "Bear". Everything else is up to the creative aspect of the designer. The logo does not need to incorporate the above recommendations if the designer had other ideas.

A report claiming Lindsay Lohan - fresh out of rehab - had "partied all night" with The Wanted's Max George surfaced Friday, but a rep for the actress says only part of the story is true.
"Lindsay did go see her good friend Max but reports of her partying are completely false," the rep told Access Hollywood on Friday, in response to the NY Post's Page Six story, which claimed the actress had "joined the British pop bad boy and his band at the all-night rager" late Wednesday evening in West Hollywood.
Following her release from Cliffside Treatment Center in Malibu on July 31, Lindsay, 27, was being accompanied by a sobriety companion for an undetermined period, a source close to the situation told Access at the time.

The sober living helper was described as a "trusted and highly qualified companion" who is "protecting" the actress.
Since leaving rehab, Lindsay successfully guest hosted "Chelsea Lately" on Monday, and has filmed a sitdown interview with Oprah Winfrey for "Oprah's Next Chapter" (set to air on OWN on Sunday, August 18, at 9 PM ET).
