Tech N9ne/Madchild – Live In Canada Tour – Calgary, AB (09.11.12)
Madchild and Tech N9ne are two of the most popular underground artists in hip hop, however, they have had very different career paths. While Tech N9ne struggled early in his career, he is currently enjoying the most success in his entire career. Madchild on the other hand, had great success early in his career, threw it all away with a downward spiral of drugs, and is currently trying to rebuild his career. The two emcees embarked on a tour of Canada, in support of Madchild's recently released solo album Dope Sick and Tech N9ne's upcoming album, EBAH.
While Madchild has had his share of troubles recently, he truly seems to be trying to make things right, and get back on track in terms of career success. It was evident that his recent troubles have made him realise how much he cherishes his fans, as right from the moment he hit the stage, he seemed to be enjoying himself more then he ever has before. Madchild opened with the track "My Life", which is a fitting song about Madchild messing his life up on drugs.
All throughout the night, Madchild interacted with fans by the stage, giving everyone a high five, even going as far as to pay for water for overheating fans at the front of the stage. Madchild quickly moved through many crowd favorite Swollen Member songs, including the crowd chanting "Warrior" which seems to be a favorite of both Madchild and his fans. On stage Madchild has great presence, as there was no hype man, no DJ just Madchild bouncing around on stage spitting the lyrics. Madchild's delivery was very crisp and clear, providing great vocals and delivering each verse with passion. Madchild eventually moved into some of his solo tracks from Dope Sick including "Monster", the crowd favorite "Dickhead", before finishing with the great track "Judgement Day". While Madchild had the crowd moving and put on a very entertaining set, it was somewhat on the short side. He was on stage for around 35 minutes, and with his vast back catalog, I was hoping that he would stay and play a few more songs. Additionally, he did not play many of tracks off his solo album, instead mainly playing popular Swollen Members songs. I would have preferred to hear some of the new tracks live, instead of half songs of from Swollen Members hits without Prevail. Nonetheless, Madchild is well on his way back to the top, and even stayed after his performance to meet fans, take pictures and sign autographs.
Next up was Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko, artists who I have seen before but always manage to put on a great live show. They started out first with Kaliko on stage working his way through his verse from his latest album Kicking and Screaming, "Kill shit", before he was joined on stage by Tech N9ne. While Tech N9ne and Kalkio gave the show a valiant effort, I have to say that this was the worst show of the group I have seen. That is not to say that they were bad per say, but there were some big negatives with the show. The main negatives were mostly due to the venue. The show took place in a small venue called The Distillery, and while the stage was adequate for Madchild, once Tech and Kaliko along with their security took the stage, there was really very little room. Tech and Kaliko usually have a very energetic show to say the least, however due to the small stage, there simply was not a lot of room for them to move around, which really took away from the overall atmosphere of the show. At some points in the show Kaliko would leave the stage and sing/rap his part on a song from backstage. Additionally the sound was horrible. While Madchild came through clear and concise,, for some reason, during Tech's set the sound was not great and somewhat muffled. Making it had to even determine which songs they were playing at certain points.
There were some good parts of the show, specifically when Tech N9ne went through his more popular crowd favorites, such as "He's A Mental giant", the old school tracks "Planet Rock 2K", "This Ring". As well the Psycho Bitch medley that Tech went through was great, in addition to "Am I A Psycho" which had the crowd singing the chorus along with Tech. There was the classic Chopper medley, which started with Kaliko doing his verse from "Midwest Choppers" before asking who can beat that, to which Tech came on stage and went though his verse as well as his verse from "Worldwide Choppers".
There is no debating that hearing Tech and Kaliko spit their rapid fire lines with such precision is a sight to see, the group usually provides a great intricate stage show in support of the verses. Due to the venue limitations this was not possible, and added to the horrible sound quality the show was not all it could have been.
Be sure to check out some of our exclusive interviews as well as follow me on Twitter.

Madchild on the other hand, really left everything he had on stage and really impressed with his clear lyrics and passion on the mic. Although a little short, Madchild definitely left his fans wanting more and really helped to increase the show enjoyment!

CANADA STOCKS-TSX may open higher, storm damage seen limited
Oct 30 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index looked set to open higher on Tuesday, as the initial damage inflicted by a powerful storm on the U.S. east coast seemed to have been less severe than many had expected, but kept Wall Street closed for a second day.
* Sandy, one of the biggest storms ever to hit the United States, battered the nation's eastern seaboard on Tuesday, swamping New York City streets with record levels of floodwater, blacking out power to millions of people and bringing transportation to a halt through much of the region.
* Talisman Energy Inc, that recently replaced its chief executive amid takeover speculation, reported a loss in the third quarter mainly due to impairment charges.
* Yamana Gold Inc reported a 6 percent fall in third-quarter adjusted profit on Monday as lower metal prices and higher production costs outweighed strong gold sales volumes.
* Spain's recession extended into the third quarter while inflation stayed high in October, data showed, indicating a government austerity programme to cut the public deficit is also pushing up living costs.
* British oil company BP raised its dividend and signaled a more upstream-focused future beyond 2014 along with stronger than expected quarterly profits.
* The Bank of Japan boosted its monetary stimulus for the second month in a row in response to intense political pressure for action and mounting evidence that the world's third-largest economy was on the cusp of recession.

South Carolina is still a school Key is considering, but he has plenty of other options too.
"Alabama, Georgia, Washington, Ole Miss, USC, Vanderbilt, North Carolina, Clemson, and Florida State are some schools recruiting me hard right now," said Key.
"South Carolina is still under consideration, but I decided with my parents that opening up my recruitment would be best at this time."
The 6-foot-5, 195 pound junior out of Lithonia (Ga.) M.L.K. could be a rush end or outside linebacker on the next level.
He is going to take a step back, look at the different options, and take his time with this decision.
The four-star junior knows he rushed things a little and he is now open to all schools.
Key will be in Athens Saturday visiting Georgia when the Dawgs play LSU.

What is in this article?:
- Reshoring: New Day, False Dawn, or Something Else?
- What is Reshoring?
- What's Really Going On?
If the reshoring revolution turns out to be a false dawn, it could distract us from the policies and investments that need to be put in place in order to make supply chains more competitive and effective.
We've been hearing a lot lately about the return of industry from foreign shores to the U.S.—a practice commonly known as reshoring—and how these repatriated companies are driving a manufacturing renaissance in America. It's an enticing idea that resonates both politically and socially, but is it as big a trend as its proponents and various surveys claim?
Research underway at the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics confirms that over recent years many companies have indeed established new manufacturing capacity in the U.S. However, the initial findings suggest that this is far from the trend that has attracted so much interest, and could have more to do with broader supply chain changes than the rebirth of American manufacturing.
The Case for Reshoring
Modern reshoring practices took off a few decades ago when U.S. companies started building factories in other parts of the world to take advantage of lower costs. Fewer regulations and the growth of IT-enabled management infrastructures added to the momentum.
Many argue that the flight to low-cost countries is now being thrown into reverse by a number of changes, such as:
- Increasing wage levels in Asia are eroding the region's cost advantage over the U.S.
- Asian labor is less complaint than in the early days of reshoring, leading to high turnover rates and, in extreme cases, business disruptions and increasing rates of suicide.
- Unpredictable transportation costs and increased complexity in cross-border transfers, both of which add complexity to the management of goods moving across great distances and many borders.
- The Chinese Yuan has appreciated and in combination with a weak dollar makes domestic production in the U.S. more attractive.
- The challenges of outsourcing production to far-flung places have become visible. Cultural differences, unfamiliar supply bases, longer distances and skills gaps all have to be managed.
- Similarly, there is a greater awareness of the risks associated with offshore manufacturing, such as the hazards of lax labor laws, and the increased vulnerability of international supply chains to disruptions.
- Emerging manufacturing methods such as 3-D printing promise to make U.S.-based production even more cost-effective.
- The increasing need to tailor products to consumer demand, which is driving the late-stage, near-market customization movement.
These changes offer some compelling reasons for bringing production back to the home country, and for the U.S. this is especially appealing at a time when Americans yearn for a return to the heyday of homegrown manufacturing when jobs were seemingly plentiful. Moreover, vested interests are eager to provide evidence of a national manufacturing base that is being rejuvenated by its believed newfound competitiveness.

Re: The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...
I have used the Pneumatic Die Grinders, Small Pneumatic Cut Off Tooils, Angle Die Grinders ( will try LocTite on that one), Automatic Welding Helmet, 14" Metal Abrasive Chop Saw, Welding Magnets, 1/2" Long Breaker Bar, The Black Handle Square Screwdriver Style Pry Bars, the 6" stainless dial caliper, The $10 two temp heat gen (a painter burnt up the first one; he had no concept of "Duty Cycle"), the 3 gallon twin tank air compressor, the $20 18 guage bradnailers, The 9" 'DIsc / 6" Belt Sander, the 42" tool box set,the 12" disc sander, transfer punches, air hosees, 1" chip brushes, the better $5 hack saw, 1/2" and 3/8" socket sets, hamers, and a few drills. These have been good for me.
Not all thier stuf is equal. I feel their are differences. Sears had Good, Better, Best. Harbor Freight seems to also have three levels CRAP, Fairly Decent, and Pretty Good. The problem is they do not put Crap, Decent and Prettyt Good Lables on their stuff.
I will continue to buy from them, hopefully I will be able to sort the wheat from the Chaff.

Can we please get a "getAssignedTeam" command that can be used on a unit and returns a string of what color team they are on, and "MAIN" if none? (same as how assignTeam works)
This would be very helpful for our popular ShackTac HUD addon, as it would permit us to use the in-game user interface team assignment features to color-code different team members on the HUD.

His desire is to easily query remote data.

Karene's 13 Plus for 2013
2013 Category Challenge
Join LibraryThing to post.
This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
Last year I focused a lot on Science Fiction and the many sub-genre's therein. For 2013 I plan to do the same as I feel I have barely touched the tip of that particular bookberg. I also added last year a secondary challenge of another set of categories with a smaller quota to fill. I have really enjoyed doing that so it will also make it in to 2013 in the form of a stepped challenge, which will just increase my enjoyment of it. Also there is a space for The Sandman series, another for my categories for next year's challenge and a spot for my school books as I work in an elementary school library and it's just nice to have an accounting of how many books I read from work.
My Categories:-
1. Ray Bradbury. It was with great sorrow that he passed last year and my way of coping with this loss was to hunt down copies of the books of his that I do not own. I will never have them all but currently I have quite the TBR stack to be getting on with so I will be incorporating him in as many categories as I can (as he would have been the first to tell you that he isn't just a science fiction writer and I say that he was so much more).
2. From Books to Screen (I love hunting down the movies to go with the books).
3. Science Fiction (for those pesky books that will not fit into a specific genre).
4. Nebula Prize Winners.
5. Female Sci-fi Authors (borrowed from dorsvenabili).
6. Winston Science Fiction Series (from 1952 - 1960).
7. Doctor Who.
8. Steampunk.
9. Sookie Stackhouse. I have been following her story with great interest over the last couple of years and in 2013 her story will end at book 13.
10. Scandinavian Mystery.
11. Mystery.
12. 1001 Books.
13. Reading Fallout (books that are mentioned in other books, group reads, and recommendations from other LTer's).
For Ray

Looks like you have covered most if not all of the bases with your categories!
I try to! After an awful experience with my first challenge in 2010 this year was better, I am hoping next year will be even better than that.
Yay, a Jane Austen category! I'll definitely be checking to see what you read for that one!
Woo hoo! Looking forward to your categories filling up!
I'm glad to see that someone else likes to try to read poetry in National Poetry month. I tried to get through the Oxford book of English verse one April and didn't succeed and had even less success with Leaves of Grass a previous April. I still love poetry and need to read more of it.
Woo Hoo! A new month and a new challenge... everyone having fun yet? I am having a great time.
Phew! Finished the '13 by 13' this morning, now I can just cruise the next two months wrapping up the 'plus' leftovers. I have some serious doubts about doing the 14 challenge next year...
Congratulations! Hope you decide to join us for 2014.
I think that most people aren't planning on reading 14 books in 14 categories but are setting more realistic challenges. Hopefully you'll consider giving it a shot.
It is only because I will be travelling next year as well as starting first year courses in literature that I am feeling ambivalent about next year's challenge... I haven't entirely made my mind up yet, but think that it would be nice to slow down a bit so that I can write more about what I read.
Congrats! I have set only a half challenge for myself next year - 7 books in 7 categories - so feel free to come up with what might fit with your busy year... no point setting up a challenge that isn't do-able because of real life commitments. ;-)
Congratulations on finishing! Hope you will join us next year, abbreviated challenges are A-OK!

Wow, glad you came out ok. I really don't know how much reaction time you would have had if the guy just came running up out of nowhere. I hope they catch the guys and you get your property back.
This is a discussion on i was robbed at gunpoint thurs night within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; well this was a very scary and real situation that happened to me thursday night. I am breaking the story into 2 parts so you ...
well this was a very scary and real situation that happened to me thursday night. I am breaking the story into 2 parts so you can get the story and what was leading up to this:
Part 1.
My wife and I have been married for 9 years. When i first married her i met her family, she had a half cousin we will call him "sam" so "sam" moved away when he was 10 years old and we have not seen him since. Last Sunday my wife gets a call and it is "sam" he is saying he is back in town and was trying to see all his family he has not seen in years after talking to him for 30 min or so he asked if he could come see us in our new home and visit. My wife told him yes and he was due to come over the following evening ( monday ) he was supposed to be here at 8:00pm and he didnt show up untill 11:00pm, my wife told him it was kind of late and he couldnt stay long. "sam" came in and i immedietly noticed he was a little on the weird side, he just didnt seem to have all his bearings. he stayed an hour or so talking about "good ole times" and "storys of the past". He finally left and I told my wife that there was something weird about him and I didnt want him to come back over, my wife agreed with me and said she didnt want him overhere anymore either. Well on Tuesday he started calling, called like 15 times and wanted to come over, my wife told him no we were busy, so then Wednesday he called 10 or 15 times wanting to come over, my wife again told him no we were busy. So thursday afternoon he started calling my wife at 4:00 asking if he could come over, she said no she was leaving taking my daughter to cheerleading and he said well will your husband let me come over, she said no he has our son and he is busy as well. now for part 2
part 2
So my wife and daughter leaves at 6:45 she was going to the church to do cheerleading, she took her gun off and sat it on the mantle, for some reason I took mine off as well and sat in on the mantle next to hers. ( all of our guns are in the safe accept the two we carry ) I was downstairs cleaning and at 7:15 there was a knock at the door, my son jumped up to answer it and I ran after my son telling him not to answer the door, I glanced up and it's my wife's cousin knocking, so I am thinking what is this young idiot wanting we told him not to come over, so i answer the door and he says "whats going on" before i could say "getting ready to leave" a black guy rushes in and has a gun in my face, he was hiding on the side of the home, then the cousin and another black guy walk in, both black men had bandanas over there face but the cousin did not. He put the gun in my face and grabbed my shirt and made me get on the ground face down, he stood overtop of me with the gun to the back of my head asking where all my money was at, I told him I had none, the other 2 guys went through the home and tore my house up. Mind you my 3 year old son is watchng all this unfold. Then, he makes me get up, puts the gun to my middle back and says go downstairs, I walk downstairs. I am thinking in my mind do i turn around and fight him or try to get the gun from him, but i decide to listen to him because i didnt want a stray bullet to hit my son if we got into a scuffle. so i go downstairs ( seperating me and my son ) and he makes me get back on the ground, stands back over me with the gun to my head, he was getting upset cause they were not finding any money. he tells me to keep looking at the ground and i am trying to see whats going on around me, the two guys come downstairs and pick up my safe and carry it out of the house, they come back in and one black guy says to the gunman "we have been here to long lets go" the gunmen says " get your ass back upstairs and find his ****" and then he starts poking me in the back of the head telling me he will kill me if i dont give up my money. I remember that the two guns are on the mantle and the BGs have not seen them yet, i was waiting for them to make a mistake so i could get to the gun, but they didnt make any. so I am now at this point thinking i am going to die so again i am thinking do i fight or lay here and go out like this... but my son comes back to mind. then he sees the guns on the mantle and gets them and then slaps me with the gun and says "you think your slick huh" then he asks for my cell phone and house phone and i told him i didnt have any, he found a cell laying on the couch and took it and tells me if i get up he is going to kill me and i hear the footsteps going up the stairs. i waited about 10sec and jumped up and ran upstairs and got my son and they were gone by this time. so i hit the panic button on the alarm and the police came.
It was a very scary situation, they stole 16 guns in total and now i am sitting here without a gun. I am getting another one tomorrow, but this goes to show you that you can not trust anyone, and do not get complacient even inside your home. I dont know why i took my gun off, i usually keep it on untill bed and then i sleep with a 24/7 but this night for some reason i was caught without one, but i am not sure that it would have mattered, the gun was in my face as soon as i opened the door.
think there was anything else I could have done? anything I did wrong? I have slept maybe 3 hours since thurs night and cant stop thinking about what could have happened. they believe the suspects have been robbin business's around town and they shot someone last week, i really cant say much else because the investigation is still on going but I feel I am pretty lucky to be alive. Just wanted to share with you guys just to let you know that it can happen anytime and do NOT get complacient
Wow, glad you came out ok. I really don't know how much reaction time you would have had if the guy just came running up out of nowhere. I hope they catch the guys and you get your property back.
I'm glad that you and your family are ok. I also wish that the BGs are caught and you recover your firearms soon.

Glad you and your son made it out alive. I am not one to critique how you handled the situation, but I never answer my door witout a weapon on me. I leave out in the county and do not get many visitors unannnounced. I do not have any small children around and do have a hidden weapon in several rooms in my home.

Honestly, I can't believe they didn't shoot you. They set you up for a full-out execution. I don't know how I would have acted in that situation, but I'd certainly want to fight back against the guy leading me downstairs. Of course, if any of my sons were home, I might reconsider.
But, hey, you're alive, so I think you did the right thing.
It's very difficult to second guess someone else's actions/reactions in a situation such as yours. I'm glad you and your son are OK. I will speak on two things you brought out in your story...
1) When the knock came at the door, and your son ran to open it and you warned him, told him NOT to open the door, yet when you saw it was the cousin, the one that both you and your wife felt "weird" about, the one that both you and your wife did NOT want back in your home, YOU opened the door to him. WHY?
2) Why did BOTH you and your wife disarm? More importantly, why did you disarm in your own home and answer your door, to an individual that your "spidey" senses had already warned you about, without being armed.
Hindsight on your part and second guessing on my part will not solve the problems you encountered. YOU know NOW how to solve those problems. I believe someone higher than both of us was watching over you and your son. I'm thankful again that you and your son are safe. I hope I could and would have done at least as good as you did given the circumstances.
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.
I'm so glad you are ok...and since you and your son are alive, IMO you did everything right.
Considering this was a true set up, I think they would have gained access to your home one way or another. If so, maybe you would have had time to reach your gun, maybe not.
OTOH, there were more of them, even if you had your gun. Unless you and your son had holed up with it in a 'safe room' and called 911 and gotten a fast response, it may really be better that you were unarmed.
God bless & I hope you find some peace of mind again soon.
Ugghhh. Makes me sick. Does this mean that a throw away cell phone is a good idea? We have plenty of old ones around. Maybe I'll leave one on my desk.
I like to carry in the home but honestly it sounds like you are fortunate to have not had a firearm handy, as it might have turned more violent.
And your young son, hope he's doing ok.
My dog would have been going NUTS.
btw, it sounds like the idiot cousin got hooked up with a couple of pros, or at least very experienced bgs. His cut is probably minor, just drug money. He was doing nothing but scouting for them, for the $$.
I sure hope you can track down him at least, thru other family members?
And I really think you are alive because you werent wearing your gun. If you wear it all the time until bed....do you think the cousin noticed it on his first visit?
Holy crap. Glad you're ok.
Not being there, in your shoes it's too easy to Monday Morning quarterback.
Myself though, I won't answer the door without the firearm. I also won't allow anyone to put me on the floor. In my mind, that's a sign of a pending execution.
The fact that you're alive though means you played the situation ok, somehow.
Best wishes.
"Don't Tread on Me"
Glad to hear you and your son are ok besides a little shaken up.
I'd be warning other family members to not let him in their homes and to call the police if they do hear from him.
Things like this are really making me consider cameras at my doors so I can see who is outside and around the perimeter before answering. Plus it's good evidence should anything happen.
I too am not going to MMQ this.
I'm sure you will find fault in things you did, or didn't do. That is to be expected. Maybe at a later date you can critique yourself, and have others critique you as well, but not while things are still running in turmoil through your mind.
You are alive and unharmed physically. That is the one and only objective in my mind. The other stuff, we can deal with later.
Time to find Sam and ask him a few questions Abu Ghraib style.
Damn! Glad you and your son are ok, but sorry for the loss of property and situation. I probably wouldnt of done anything different, although we dont really know unless we were in your shoes. Hopefully some of the guns will turn up at pawn shops. Hopefully you and your son wont be scarred too much from this.
I am glad that you and your son are ok, feel fortunate nobody was hurt, a home invasion a couple of doors down from me left a elderly man in the hospital hanging on to life by a thread all over a SS check! As for your half cousin I would be looking for him, if found I think a "chat" would be in order...just sayin...
God Bless the troops...especially the snipers!

Meet the Automatic Dictionary Developer
Why was Automatic Dictionary created?
I use to write emails in 3 languages at work, and I like to check the spellchecker before sending the mails.
I realized that it would be really useful that Thunderbird remembered which language I choose for each set of recipients. It seemed easy and a good chance to see how was the extension development on Thunderbird.
What's next for Automatic Dictionary
I do not pretend to update this addon with new features by now.
I have fixed the bugs appeared but I won't follow the planned 2.x version as I realized that the current implementation and features reduced my times I changed the dictionary from 100 to 10 or even less, and that was really enough for me.

anyone has complaints on steering wheel?
Am I the only one that feel the steering wheel on ATS needs too much effort to hold on ?
Much more uncomfortable compared with the M3 steering wheel on my E46 330i. Hard to hold on to, will feel fatigue after a very short driving time.
Any thoughts about that? any good solution?

Re: anyone has complaints on steering wheel?
I'm having a hard time understanding what you mean. Are you saying you have to use more force than you like to steer or are you saying its too slippery or the diameter makes your fingers bend more or less than is comfortable or have your arms gotten heavier, or ????

Re: anyone has complaints on steering wheel?
I actually agree that the steering wheel size isn't right. In my Yukon I can drive comfortably with 2 fingers but in the ATS after a while my fingers start aching.
Re: anyone has complaints on steering wheel?
The way you are supposed to drive and hold the steering wheel with both hands and all fingers gripping the steering wheel evenly at the 10 and 2 position on the steering wheel. That is what I do and I have no concerns with comfort or steering effort. Did the same with my BMWs and no issues. The BMWs I have had were slightly thicker steering wheels, but that took some adjustment to at the time. Now I am used to the ATS steering wheel and I am fine with it.
Driving with two fingers is not good from a safety perspective. You need to be able to react quickly and two hands on the steering wheel allows that versus just two fingers, which I assume means one hand on the steering wheel.

Re: anyone has complaints on steering wheel?
Yeah I know those so called experts say that. But the point is two hands on the wheel typically feels better and allows quicker reaction.
Huna, I think if anything your fingers/hands must be very tired all the time with 2+ billion posts. When do you have the time to drive at all. ;-)

Re: anyone has complaints on steering wheel?
I have two complaints:
There is a visible seam at the top of the wheel at 12:00
The steering wheel is not concentric to the steering column. It bobs up and down as you turn it.
All these years, and GM still can't make a concentric steering wheel....
Re: anyone has complaints on steering wheel?
BTW, I start to feel that, the seat and steering wheel are not center aligned, the seat seems closer to the center console. and when pressing on brake (I got 3 pedals), it's like my legs are leaning outwards to the door and my body leaning to the passenger side.
Re: anyone has complaints on steering wheel?
Hueyh, thank you for starting this thread regarding your steering wheel complaints. I'm sorry to have read about your concerns, and I appreciate everyone's honest feedback in this thread. I'm going to document this thread URL so the proper GM departments can access your comments, and please email me at email@example.com if you would like me to investigate any lingering concerns further for you!

Mumbai: Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta, one of the four finalist couples of dance reality show 'Nach Baliye 5', have thanked the audience for helping them reach the finale stage.
The finale of the Star Plus show will be aired March 23.
"There is a lot of excitement and first of all, a lot of gratitude as we have reached here only because of the love and support of our audience," Ravi said here Saturday at the CID Veerta Awards.
"So, we are so full of gratitude and it`s just a matter of a week, and we have the finale. We are looking forward to it," he added.
Stand-up comedian Bharti Singh, who was also a participant on the dance reality show `Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa`, is also rooting for Ravi and Sargun.
"You all will see, they are the winners of `Nach Baliye`! They will surely win because all my votes are with them. I know they have worked very hard," Bharti said.

The Section for Agriculture, Rural Development and the Environment (NAT) held on 21 November a public hearing on the distribution of food products to the most deprived persons in the Union.
The EU food aid scheme has operated successfully since 1987 and provides at present food for free for as many as 18 million people.
On 3 October, the European Commission tabled a second amended proposal in an effort to overcome a deadlock with Member States in the Council of Ministers. The amended proposal foresees a double legal basis (agriculture and social cohesion) and full EU financing of the scheme. The EU Agriculture Ministers broke the long-standing deadlock on 14 November by agreeing to continue financing of the scheme from the EU budget for another two years.

Alexander Wang and Samsung Collaborate
Alexander Wang is taking a new direction in the fashion realm, teaming up with Samsung to create a limited-edition bag.
Wang will choose from stylists, photographers and friends, who will use the Samsung Galaxy Note II to create inspirational sketches as a baseline for the exclusive bag. The fashion guru will create a signature print for the bag that we know will be stellar.
"I am most inspired from my everyday life and the people that surround me," said Wang. "So the idea of a co-creation with the people that I admire and respect the most is very exciting."
It's a feel-good purchase, too — proceeds from the sale will go towards ArtStart, a New York City Charity that focuses on creative talents of at-risk children and youth. Shoppers can find the bag at select Alexander Wang boutiques and online this summer. And if history holds true, this bag is sure to be a sellout.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/2/2014 (1215 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There's plenty of sun in the forecast, but precious little warmth.
Environment Canada is calling for a high of -20ºC this afternon — five degrees colder than the normal low for this time of year.
That high will come with a northwest wind of 20 km/h that will make it feel even colder, but sunny skies could help take some of the edge off if you're out of the wind.
A few couds are expected overnight, as the wind increases to about 30 km/h, and temperatures drop to -24ºC. That could push the wind chill to as low as -38.
Tomorrow should be mainly sunny, with a high of -14ºC fairly early in the day, but wind gusts of up to 60 km/h are expected, and temperatures will fall through the afternoon to about -19ºC, on their way to a low of -32ºC tomorrow night.
Thursday will see sunny skies with a high of -16ºC followed by a high on Friday of -19ºC. Friday could also see clouds and some periods of snow.
The first of March, on Saturday, will be bitterly cold — dawning like a real lion at a low of -36ºC and reaching a daytime high of just -24ºC, despite clear skies and plenty of sun.
Sunday, too, should be cold, with sunny skies and a high of -20ºC.
At this point, Monday will continue the trend, with a high of -16ºC and sunny skies.
The normal high for this time of year is -5ºC; the normal low is -15ºC.
The warmest it's ever been on this date was in 1958, when it soared to 9.4ºC. The coldest ever was in 1962, when it reached -34.4ºC.

Samia Ghadie has admitted that she was forced to seek medical attention recently, after one of her moves on the ice rink went wrong.
The Coronation Street actress is starring on Dancing On Ice currently and performed on the first live show with Sylvain Longchambon last Sunday night. The pair received good comments from the judges – all except Jason Gardiner of course – ad while the brunette beauty was pleased with the positive reaction she's admitted that there have been some tough moments leading up to their big ice debut.
Apart from the furore surrounding her personal life – she recently broke up with boyfriend of two years Will Thorp and Sylvain split from his partner amidst reports that the new partners are having a torrid affair – Samia revealed that learning to skate has created it's own challenges and revealed that she's already attended hospital after sustaining concussion following a fall.
The actress told The TV Times:
"I had an operation on my wrist in August and wear a wristguard, so I was conscious not to fall on it.
"Because of that I didn't put my hands out, and fell straight on the back of my head on the ice."
"Within 10 minutes I got back on the ice, but later that day, whilst filming Corrie, I was still feeling a bit weird so they sent me to hospital."
Samia was petrified before taking to the rink to skate at the weekend and is glad she won't be back for almost two weeks, as other skaters will perform this weekend.
She revealed that working on the ITV show is even scarier than when she appeared on the live Corrie episode recently and explained:
"This is far worse than live Corrie. I'd rather do live Corrie every day for a year than this as at least I know what I'm doing there; this is completely alien to me."
The beauty does feel safe with her handsome partner though and tweeted a link to this video yesterday, saying:
"Ok.. this is why i feel safe in @slongchambon arms! #amazing"
She added:
"Thank you SO much to everyone that voted for me and @slongchambon last night! So happy we can skate on!! Hope u enjoyed the show! Xx 😃"

This Week In Stupid: Conservatives Claim Google Endorses Obama/Ayers Book Conspiracy
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
Sometimes you just have to marvel at the almost-transcendent inanity of the conservative blogosphere. For a few years now, some conservative media figures -- led by conservative bloggers like Jack Cashill -- have been obsessed with proving that Bill Ayers is the true author of President Obama's autobiography, Dreams from My Father.
If you were under the impression that this conspiracy theory couldn't sink any lower than Cashill's column in February highlighting how Obama and Ayers both use words like "skillet" and "ice cream" in their writing, you were mistaken.
This week, seeking to add more "evidence" to this theory, some conservative blogs are running with the claim that Google has joined in on the conspiracy and is now listing Ayers as the author of Dreams on Google Books.
That might be somewhat interesting if it actually happened. But it didn't.

I firmly believe CZ's are the most underrated guns available. I wish they were still as cheap as they used to be but I will own one some day.
The only, and I mean the only thing I don't like about them is the fact that the slides are so small it can be hard to get a good purchase with your hand.

Mopar 3.9L V6
I am a new member with a 2003 Dodge Ram Van 3.9L V6, after you stop laughing, have had more than a few small block Mopar V8's, just thought the V6 would be fun to play with.
Did not realize how few performance parts were available for the V6.
I am considering fabricating headers, can't seem to find anything, off the shelf, and maybe a turbo, if the engine is stout enough to handle moderate boost.
Any feed back on engine reliability, would be greatly appreciated -
Thanks Bob
