Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on Aksu TV and Gaziantep Olay TV dated January 1st, 2011
ADNAN OKTAR: [ I seek refuge with Allah from the satan] "..nothing divulged his death to them except the worm which ate his staff; so that when he fell down it was made clear to the Djinns that if they had truly had knowledge of the Unseen they need not have stayed there suffering humiliating punishment." Almighty Allah says that people should not summon the Djinns in vain in an attempt to have knowledge about the Unseen. If the Djinns have had such an attribute, they would have known about the death of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). They simply did not know; they feared sorely and worked. They did not know. They were unable to know the Unseen. Allah says that the Djinns have no knowledge of the Unseen. Some people summon the Djinns and ask them about what will occur in the future. In return, that one tells lies but people believe in them. The Djinns have no knowledge of the Unseen. But they make service. That is to say, they can assume a form and serve. But surely because this will scare people severely, since they are not accustomed to [their physical appearance] and prepared for it, Allah does not make them appear right now. But, as I see it, in the time of Prophet Solomon (pbuh), the Djinns carried stones, crafted sculptures. They crafted huge dishes like cisterns and great built-in cooking vats. The Djinns carried out tasks in the transportation of giant rocks.
It is known that those pieces of rocks used in the construction of the pyramids in ancient Egypt were brought from locations hundreds of kilometers away, and normally they could not have brought them, even if they had attempted to do it by bulldozers or graders,. They took and brought them very gently, without damaging them. The stones were cut in another location and then brought. It is still unknown who cut those stones or how they were transported. It is still not known how those stones were placed on the very top of those triangle towers. Those stones are not of that sort that can be lifted by regular cranes. Even state-of-the-art technology is incapable of accomplishing it. You see those cranes carrying loads to construction sites. The load they can lift are limited to certain weights; they are capable of carrying light objects. But the stones [of these pyramids] are pretty heavy, quite gigantic ones. Science has not yet definitively established how those stones were put on top of those pyramids; they are unable to know it right now. In the Qur'an Allah defines the methods employed then. But of course, at that period people were accustomed to them, and that also is a separate issue. They found it reasonable. For instance in Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) palace, at the bottom of the Western Wall, there are massive block stones. Huge stones, brought from other places. Let us show its picture some time. The block stone has no end, it is pretty big. Who brought them? How were they brought? It is not known. But the Qur'an makes it clear. Insha'Allah.
We do not know by which method they brought them. But if the ancient Egyptian manuscripts are examined thoroughly, in an inclusive manner in the technical sense, we can obtain some knowledge. But in those illustrations the men always used pictures of the Djinns. There are the images of clerks getting in touch with the Djinns. There are lots of pictures of their exchanges with the Djinns, of their lives interrelated with the Djinns. Those pictures have to be analyzed thoroughly; pondered upon profoundly. Then we can have the opportunity to have some knowledge. It seems so. For instance the lightning inside pyramids; they installed an electric system, but the apparatus they used in generating that electricity does not seem so reasonable. I mean, such a tiny apparatus fairly glowing such a huge lamp, making perfect illumination, and they inscribed perfect designs and adornments. These are still unknown. It is still unknown who taught them this technology, the method of generating electricity is still unknown. Yet, according to the Qur'an it is explicit that the Djinns gave them a special knowledge. It is understood that in the production of electricity, mankind was guided by the Djinns. It is also understood that those giant stones were transported by them. Surely some time must be devoted to examine these incidents. A meticulous study is essential. We can also deal with this if we can spare some time. Insha'Allah.
Being too preoccupied, I have no opportunity to look into these subjects. But if documents and photographs dating back to especially the Egyptian inscriptions could be compiled, it seems that we can obtain a lot of information, insha'Allah.
See for instance, "High arches, statues", these are all related to stones. "Huge dishes like cisterns", "..great built-in cooking vats", they are also heavy metals, iron caldrons, huge ones.
"'Work, family of David, in thankfulness!'" That is, this is no ordinary work. Work in constant gratefulness. Allah says, "But very few of My slaves are thankful." This means, people do not give thanks to Allah. The fact is however, one needs to give thanks for every blessing Allah grants.
ALTUĞ BERKER: My Master, we have the image of the stone that weighs 570 tons you mentioned inside the Western Wall tunnels.
ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, let us look into it. Yes that stone, the block. See that the stone is continuous..
ALTUĞ BERKER: It shows the stone at full length.
ADNAN OKTAR: This is a single piece.
ALTUĞ BERKER: Yes.
ADNAN OKTAR: It is not a stone that belongs there. It does not possess the characteristics of the typical rocks in that location . It is transported from somewhere else.
ALTUĞ BERKER: All through the way he walks is the distance of a single stone.
ADNAN OKTAR: 570 tons. It is brought from a very far distance. With current technology, it is impossible. You can not bring them with trailer trucks, dozers or anything else. The stone came in flying like a bird. 570 tons; it has no relation with the rock texture of that location. This also holds true for the stones in Egypt. They are also brought from hundreds of kilometers away. They are enormously heavy rocks. It is as if they came flying. It is not known how they came. See that science has fallen into paralysis at this point; they can bring no explanation. They are the ones who say, "We know everything." You ask them, but they can not offer any explanation. For instance, how did this 570 tons stone come here? They can only speculate. A single-piece, a block sharply cut. But it is cut in an amazingly precise form. For instance, it is not possible to insert something in between the two pieces. It is so regular; there is an overall contact with other rocks. And look, it weighs 570 tons. Almighty Allah draws attention to these incidents in the Qur'an. Allah draws attention to the power of the Djinns and how He made the Djinns instrumental [for these works.] Insha'Allah, in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) the Djinns will again be functional. But of course people's fear of the Djinns has to disappear. People need to be made accustomed to the Djinns. People must get rid of this uneasiness because Allah forbid, they must not ascribe partners to Allah. Having fear of the Djinns is ascribing partners to Allah. That would be so strange. One only fears Allah. Why would one have fear of the Djinns? A Djinns is but a poor servant of Allah.2012-04-11 18:40:50

COMMUNITIES will take the driving seat in a new road safety initiative to tackle speeding motorists.
Villagers from Crowle, near Worcester, were the first people to arm themselves with hand-held speed measurement devices today (Friday, May 30) under the Community Speed Watch scheme launched by the Safer Roads Partnership.
Trained volunteers took to Church Road, Crowle, as the first site in the West Mercia Police force area with further sites due to follow suit in the coming months to further address concerns about the speed of traffic.
Rod Reynolds, Safer Roads Partnership manager, said: "The Safer Roads Partnership is very pleased to announce the launch of the Community Speed Watch scheme."
Mr Reynolds added: "Enabling local communities to take an active role in addressing concerns about speeding traffic allows us to be more responsive to the needs of local communities and will enhance our road safety and casualty reduction strategy.
"We hope the new site in Crowle will be the first of a series to see a positive change in driver behaviour and compliance with the speed limit."
The scheme is initiated when speeding traffic has been identified as a community road safety concern by a parish council, safer neighbourhood team or community forum.
It must meet a number of criteria before it is established, including the area having a 30mph or 40mph speed restriction, no other enforcement activity being in place and speed data collected by the partnership must show speed levels do not meet the national industry requirements for police enforcement.
Each scheme must have at least six volunteers and the speed checks must be carried out by at least three volunteers at any one time.
Where vehicle speeds are found to be inappropriate, a letter is sent to the registered keeper by the police with the aim of encouraging them to reduce their speed when driving in the future.
The schemes will be evaluated to ensure they are having an impact on vehicle speed, driver behaviour and community reassurance.

PMY Tested: Mobile My-Cast
By Capt. Patrick Sciacca — August 2002
I recently tried Mobile My-Cast, a technology from personalized-weather provider Digital Cyclone that delivers Doppler radar and up-to-date weather information for anywhere in the United States right to your Nextel Java-enabled cellphone. I was skeptical that the phone would actually be able to display the data accurately and clearly, maybe because it seemed like something from a Dick Tracy comic strip.
Upon receiving the phone, a Motorola i185s, I skimmed the 198-page user's guide and broke into a cold sweat. This looked like way too much information to absorb for operating a phone. I decided to forego reading the directions--a bad habit of mine--and just wing it. To my surprise, I could follow the prompts on the LCD after powering up the phone, and within a couple of minutes I was able to access weather and radar data for Manhattan, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Montauk Point, Long Island.
I confess to having a slight advantage over most subscribers. The My-Cast team had already loaded the software needed to run the info into my phone and programmed these geographic areas in its memory. I simply turned on the phone, pressed the Java button, and selected My-Cast on the menu. It listed the applications, which included Weather, Radar, Alerts, and Setup & Help.
I highlighted the program I wanted to use by pressing the phone keypad's up and down buttons to scroll through the functions, then simply pressed Run. In addition to the pre-selected areas, My-Cast allowed me to check weather conditions and radar around the country by entering the appropriate zip code. I was impressed that when I viewed the radar display for an area with bad weather, I could see the clouds sweeping across the LCD on my phone. Granted, it's not immensely detailed, but then, how detailed can a one-inch screen be? Nonetheless, the data was informative. Moving the keypad buttons left and right allowed me to zoom in on the radar image. In Weather mode, I was able to scroll through the forecast by the hour using the left and right buttons.
The Alerts function, which I luckily didn't need, informs you of any problems the phone may be having with the transmission. The Setup & Help feature allowed me to add and subtract locations for viewing.
Setting up your phone will take a bit more work, but not much. First you must call your Nextel provider and request the Power Apps plan. This plan's cost is in addition to your monthly voice plan, and the charges are based on kilobytes, not minutes. My-Cast uses about 10 kilobytes to display the radar and weather data, with a monthly charge of about $9.95.
To download My-Cast onto your phone, you must scroll through the menu on your phone's LCD and press Java Apps. Then choose Download Apps, followed by Free Applications and Business and Productivity. Now highlight My-Cast and press Get-It. After you've downloaded My-Cast, exit the program and press Install. This is similar to installing software on your home computer. Now you're ready to call My-Cast or go to its Web site and start the service. A few minutes later you'll know if you should leave the dock or duck into the saloon for a day with the TV.

Why the mile 14 water stop? Is that as far of mileage as she plans to run in the third installment of the monkey? I didn't know this was allowed.
50,000 Miles Later
Cheryl? Running the Monkey?
HA haH HA HA HHHAAAH HA HA HA HAH HA HAHAH HA HA. HAH!! Heh. ha.
What's the longest race Cheryl has ran?
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away...(unkown) • Go With The Flow • Thyroid Support Group
Actually I was willing to do whatever it took to get Cheryl to come down from Alaska. I'm just super pleased that she's "planning" on doing the marathon *touch wood*
Oh Mighty Wing
never mind....I'm laughing too
they are talking about Nashville Cheryl not Alaska Cheryl.
I knew that
Cheryl does (how quickly JK has forgotten her...). I think she'll be at the water stop at mile 14. Stop, have some water, and ask her to say "oil," "coupon," and "darn."
But its less redneck and more belle. I think the word I'm looking for is syrupy. Like molasses.
What's the longest race Cheryl has ran?
For some reason I thought she runs marathons.
, how did I forget my Cheryl?
I think the words you're looking for are "major edema."

Hi, I just want to ask ,...How would you perform your search query if you have millions of data in your database...is there a fastest SQL query to perform on this that can find with less time?
Thank you in advance
Millions? You're talking hypothetically and don't have a specific example correct?
Depending on what you're trying to do I imagine there's always a "best" way.
First important thing is that your table architecture is optimal. eg. "normalized".
Also, don't use SELECT * explicitly specify only the fiields you needAnd if you're going to get a bucket load of results try using LIMIT and OFFSET
Thank you for your reply I haven't tried OFFSET...
Faster than continual SQL queries is an actual search engine: SOLR, Sphinx, ElasticSearch (built on Lucene), etc.
Hm, I thought we de-normalize db architecture to improve performance, not the other way round?
we normalize to eliminate redundancies, prevent errors, avoid inconsistencies, and ensure data integrity
dude, never skip that step, okay?
Yep, but the subject is about performance not data integrity. After we got it (integrity) we may find out that some normalizations bite performance too much so we sacrifice some of them to keep the system fast. Isn't that right? I wrote de-normalize, not normalize in my previous post :).
Hi to all experts,....Can i rephrase my words,...what i want is to search a certain word or string with in database which have millions of data.so how would you guys perform the search query,which is efficient and faster to get the result.
Thank you in advance, Hope this helps
Full text search and m0aRor focus simply on full-text searchor if already using an awesome database, search may be built right in
You get queries with filters, fuzzy matching, stemming, and with ES possibly a standalone document store+ if that's all hip and trendy with the kids these days. I have seen ES churn through gazillions of data and it's fast. Eats memory like alzheimers, but fast.
Okay I'm assuming jemz just wants to know an example query but you'd thing that depended heavily on the data, structure and what you're searching for.

In order to achieve that I want to use fsolve from scipy package. So I have first to create a function f(x), i.e.
- Code: Select all
def func f(x, imax):
for i in range(imax):
y = [ x[i]-2*x[i-2]...-1/x[i]**2, ] #this should be a matrix containing the
#equations in where all the equations are
# seperated with ','
return y
After define the function you use fsolve like this: scipy.optimize.fsolve( func, inGuess, args = ( imax ). So the argument to fsolve is a function containing the system of equations. My problem is how to create this function having the number of equations depended from imax. e.g. I want to write fsolve(func,args(10)), or fsolve(func,args(20)) etc
This is an example that works:
- Code: Select all
>>> def func2(x): y = [x[0]*cos(x[1]) - 4, x[1]*x[0] - x[1] - 5] return y
>>> x0 = scipy.optimize.fsolve(func2, [1, 1])
>>> print x0
[ 6.5041, 0.9084]

--Marcell Harris
--Keanu Neal
A closer look at what we learned about this upcoming group of Gators from spring practice. Safety Progress report: In an attempt to get the best players on the field, the staff moved cornerbacks Jaylen Watkins and Cody Riggs to safety, and both have performed at a high level and likely will be the starters at the two positions. They help bring great versatility to the secondary, which should be the strength of the defense. Jabari Gorman, Marcus Maye and Valdez Showers also have made plays and provided depth. Spring surprise: Redshirt freshman Marcus Maye started standing out on the scout team last fall and he's continued to develop into a potential playmaker this spring. Spring star: Cody Riggs has made a seamless transition from cornerback to safety.

WINTER PARK, Fla. -
The cars burglaries happened early Wednesday along Lake Sue Avenue.
Two of the cars were stolen, and, in one case, the burglars may have tried to enter a house and stole a garage door opener, said police.
Police said the criminal or criminals stole a laptop from one car and a golf bag from another. Police said each case appeared to be crimes of opportunity because the cars were unlocked.
Winter Park police have stepped up patrols in the area and put up an electronic sign (pictured, above), warning residents who live in an otherwise safe neighborhood to lock their doors.
Crime in her neighborhood is a reality Sharon Ball experienced first-hand. Her husband woke up around 4 a.m. to the sound of their garage door opening.
"The dog barked and I heard the door continuing to go up and I got up," said Tom Ball, who grabbed a butcher knife and walked outside to find someone had rifled through his truck, leaving with only a lottery ticket and some change.
But the Balls fear the petty crimes of burglars stealing change from unlocked cars could escalate.
In their case, the burglar may have used the garage door opener in their unlocked vehicle to open their garage, and get inside their home to steal another garage door opener. They fear the criminal planned to come back to their house.
"We're afraid they may come back because they may think they'll be able to get in," said Sharon.
To make the crime even more troubling, the criminal was armed with a chisel stolen from a neighbor and left behind inside their vehicle.
"I think they're pretty gutsy, people that do that," said Mike Miller, whose truck was burglarized by criminals who took his chisel for unknown reasons. "Pretty scary. You don't really feel safe anymore."
The Balls changed the codes to their garage and plan to lock their house up every night.
Police said 75 to 80 percent of car burglaries on residential streets happen because the cars are unlocked.
Orlando police said a man taken into custody in Baldwin Park on Thursday night confessed to several nearby break-ins, but it's not yet known if he's connected to the Winter Park car burglaries.

Jerrel Harris and Ron Foxx each score 18 points; Harris nets 1,000th career point
KISSIMMEE, Fla. – The Saint Leo University men's basketball team set a school record for wins in a season on Thursday afternoon with its 63-53 win over Lynn University in the Sunshine State Conference tournament quarterfinals at Silver Spurs Arena. The win improved the Lions to 23-7 on the season surpassing the previous mark of 22 wins set last season by the 2012-13 Saint Leo team.
The win is the Lions' third straight victory, and their seventh win in their last eight games. Saint Leo avenged a 63-60 loss to the Fighting Knights on Feb. 22, the Lions' only loss during that eight game stretch. Lynn finishes the season 9-18.
Jerrel Harris and Ron Foxx led Saint Leo with 18 points, while Harris also tallied his 1,000th career point at Saint Leo during his two year career for the Lions. Spenser Mitchell added 12 points and a career-high tying 14 rebounds.
Chim Kadima, Devin Crisosto and Taylor Bassett all added five points in the victory.
Saint Leo overcame cold shooting from the field in the first half shooting just 32.1 percent (9-of-28) and 28.6 percent (2-of-7) from behind the three-point arc. The Lions would eventually hit their stride and used a 15-2 run over the last 8:56 of the first half – capped off by a Harris basket with two seconds left in the first stanza – to give Saint Leo a 26-18 lead at the break.
Keeping the Lions in the game in the first half was its control of the boards. Saint Leo outrebounded the Fighting Knights 26-18 in the first 20 minutes, including a dominating 11-3 advantage on the offensive glass. That advantage led to Saint Leo outscoring Lynn 13-1 in second chance points.
The second half would prove to be a different story offensively for the Lions. Saint Leo would come out of the locker room and proceed to go on a 8-0 run led by five Harris points, including the three pointer with 17:27 left in the game that to put him in the 1,000-point club. The Lions would push their lead to a game-high 16 points, 36-20, on Harris' next basket with 16:31 left in the contest.
Saint Leo sustained its double figure advantage until Lynn cut the Lions lead to seven, 57-50, on a Haki Stampley three with 1:35 left in the game. The Fighting Knights would get as close as five, 58-53; however the Lions would end the game with five consecutive points.
During the second half, Saint Leo shot 58.8 percent (10-of-17) from the field, and 50 percent (2-of-4) from behind the three-point arc en route to the win.
Saint Leo will play the winner of the Tampa-Florida Tech game in the tournament semifinals on Saturday, March 8 at 5 p.m.

South Dakota State University (SDSU) is planning to build a teaching and research facility related to hog production and has begun its funding campaign. The first donor to step forward for the proposed $7 million facility is First Bank and Trust.
The First Bank and Trust operates in eastern South Dakota and southwestern Minnesota and has committed $250,000 to the project. The South Dakota Pork Producers Council also has pledged support. The SDSU Foundation is charged with raising private funds for the project.
The project on the drawing board is a multiple-facility project designed to replace existing swine units that were constructed in the 1930's, 1940's, and 1970's, the university reports. The plan is to divide the project into three facilities.
The first will be a new Teaching and Research Facility that will include a classroom and observation area, metabolism laboratory, surgery area, gestation and farrowing areas, as well as boar housing and a semen collection center. The total space allocated to these areas is 16,400 square feet.
The second and third facilities will involve a wean-to-finish barn and tunnel-ventilated barn. These will include a swine production barn, observation areas, central working area and feed mixing areas. The space allotment for these facilities is approximately 28,200 square feet combined.
SDSU reports that the gross square footage for all new construction associated with this project is 34,600 square feet. The new facilities will be placed on the site of the university's existing swine unit.
Foundation officials hope the first funding commitments will encourage other organizations to pledge money to build the Swine Teaching and Research Facility.
Barry Dunn, dean of SDSU's College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences, says the facility will provide cutting edge research and education in the swine industry.

RECIPES: Recipe Details
New Orleans French Quarter Burger with Avocado and Plantain Zydeco Relish
This spicy burger illustrates the great blend of cultures represented in the New Orleans French Quarter and includes a spicy beef burger on a French roll topped with melted smoked Gouda cheese, sliced ripe Creole tomato and a fresh tasty relish made from ripe avocados and roasted plantains from the French Market produce market.
1/4 ounce envelope Knox unflavored gelatin
2 teaspoons light brown sugar (firmly packed)
1/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup cold water
2 pounds coarsely ground chuck roast--ground once
1 cup finely chopped fresh green onions
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoons onion powder
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons table salt
1 large ripe Plantain- (black skinned)
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/4 cup water
3 ripe Hass avocados-diced
1/3 cup diced red onion
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 tablespoon high quality mayonnaise
1/8 teaspoon table salt
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, for brushing on the grill rack
6 slices of smoked Gouda cheese
6 fresh French rolls, split
6 slices of ripe Creole tomato
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Add the gelatin and brown sugar to the hot water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved then add the cold water and stir to form a gelatin/sugar solution.
Gently, but thoroughly, combine the gelatin/sugar solution, ground chuck, chopped green onions, chopped parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper and salt to form a seasoned patty mixture. Form the patty mixture into 6 equal sized patties. Cover and refrigerate the patties until ready to grill.
Preheat a gas grill to medium heat. Split the plantain lengthwise. Seal the two plantain halves, the brown sugar and the water within a foil packet formed from a section of heavy duty aluminum foil. Place the sealed foiled packet onto the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes (depending on the ripeness of the plantain) turning the packet over after 5-6 minutes.
Remove the sealed packet from the grill and allow it to cool sealed for 10-15 minutes. After cooling, remove the cooked plantain halves from the packet, remove the peels and dice the plantain flesh.
Gently combine the diced cooked plantain, diced avocado, diced red onion, fresh lime juice, mayonnaise and salt; cover and set aside.
Preheat a gas grill to medium heat. When the grill is ready, brush the grill rack with the vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, for 10-12 minutes turning every 3-4, until an internal temperature of at least 140 degrees F is reached and the patties are done to preference. Place a Gouda cheese slice on each of the patties during the last 3-4 minutes of grilling. Place the French rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
To assemble the burgers, place a cheese-topped patty on each toasted roll bottom, followed by a slice of ripe Creole tomato that has been sprinkled with an equal portion of the kosher salt and topped with an equal portion of the avocado & plantain zydeco relish. Add the toasted roll tops and serve.
Makes 6 burgers.
The gelatin/sugar solution in these burgers makes them wonderfully juicy, much like the gelatin in slow cooked ribs makes them juicy. They can easily be cooked to a higher internal temperature than most burgers without drying out and don't require anything like mayonnaise, mustard or ketchup to add juiciness. The gelatin/sugar solution also causes the outside of the patties to brown more quickly so the patties should be cooked on a lower heat and turned more frequently than is traditional.

In the hands of Emma Thompson, "Mary Poppins" author P.L. Travers is a spoonful of something, all right, but it sure ain't sugar.
She's blunt, bristling and belligerent — as well as a few other "B" words — in her dealings with Walt Disney (a delightful Tom Hanks) and his creative team in the Disney-movie-about-a-Disney-movie "Saving Mr. Banks."
Travers had spent the past 20 years rebuffing Uncle Walt's overtures to turn her beloved book into a movie. Mary Poppins — never just Mary, she curtly explains — is a part of her life. She's family. And, as she tells an exasperated, bordering-on-furious Disney, "I won't have her turned into one of your silly cartoons!"
But when she learns she's broke because the "Mary Poppins" royalties have dried up and she refuses to write sequels, Travers decides that maybe just maybe she loves her house, and the ability to pay for it, at least nearly as much as her most famous creation.
Before long, she's in Los Angeles, where she's placed in the care of Ralph (Paul Giamatti), a chauffeur so earnest, so full of "okey-dokeys" and "no problemos," so eternally sunny thanks to the lessons he's learned from his wheelchair-bound daughter, he'd might as well be animated.
What follows is a battle of wills pitting the obnoxious Travers against Disney and his creative team, songwriters Richard and Robert Sherman (Jason Schwartzman and B.J. Novak) and screenwriter Don DaGradi (Bradley Whitford), as they repeatedly alter their vision to accommodate the whims of Travers, who still hasn't signed over the movie rights.
She complains about the lack of "gravitas" in the script. She derides the "Spoonful of Sugar" lyrics as being "enormously patronizing." At one point, she declares she's tired of the color red and demands that it not appear anywhere in the movie.
But the Shermans and DaGradi finally break through to her during a giddy rendition of "Let's Go Fly a Kite" that not only captures her heart, it will melt away any cynicism you bring into the theater and stay in your head for days. Although she's obviously quite moved by the performance, Travers is quick to point out that "the proper English would be, 'Let US go AND fly a kite.' "
Like any good origin tale, though, "Banks" — directed by John Lee Hancock ("The Blind Side") from a script by Kelly Marcel ("Terra Nova") and Sue Smith ("Peaches") — can't just let Travers be miserable. It has to explore what made her that way. As a result, the action too often cuts between 1961 Los Angeles and Travers' troubled childhood in 1906 Australia.
Her banker father (Colin Farrell, better than he's been in quite a while), the model for "Mary Poppins' " Mr. Banks, created a fantasy world for a young Travers, telling her at various points that their horse once was their uncle and one of their chickens had been her aunt.
But he was a vicious alcoholic who nearly drove her mother mad, and his worsening condition led to her no-nonsense, nannyish aunt (Rachel Griffiths) coming to look after him.
Those scenes are moving and important as they shine a light on where "Mary Poppins" came from and why Travers clings so dearly to the story. But there are too many of them, and they're quite dark for what otherwise is a sunny, comic joy.
Some of that cynicism likely will start creeping back in during the lavish "Mary Poppins" premiere, where Travers is shown tearing up as scenes from the actual 1964 classic unfold inside the then-Grauman's Chinese Theater. That's when "Banks" begins to feel a bit like a preposterously elaborate, Oscar-caliber promotion for the 50th anniversary "Mary Poppins" Blu-ray released earlier this month.
The business with Disney and Travers — whom he steadfastly and folksily refers to her by her first name, Pamela, or even Pam, even though he knows it drives her crazy — is almost absurdly enjoyable. For her part, Thompson seems to be having a ball spewing forth all of Travers' nastiness onto whomever crosses her path.
Schwartzman, Novak and Whitford work so well together you'll find yourself wanting to spend more time with them.
And even though Travers is "positively sickened" by the invitation to accompany Disney on a tour of his theme park, the scenes at Disneyland, with Hanks as a beaming, rock-star tour guide, fully realize the magic of the Magic Kingdom.
"Saving Mr. Banks" may not be super.
But it's verygoodcalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Michael Dreilich Wins The Meinl Grant Mcfarland "toro" Drum Contest
In April 2011, Meinl Cymbals and Meinl Cymbal artist Grant McFarland presented the Meinl Cymbals / Grant McFarland / Classics Custom Video Contest. This was an online contest that challenged contestants to replicate some great metal drumming. The idea was for the contestants to learn Grant's drum parts to the This or the Apocalypse song "Toro" and then to record themselves playing those parts along to the song and upload them to a site where Grant and fellow Meinl Cymbal artist and TOTA co-producer Chris Adler could judge the entries and choose a winner.
A winner has been chosen.
Michael Dreilich's video won Grant and Chris over. According to Grant, "Michael demonstrates great stick control, executes the parts flawlessly, and looks effortless doing it. His foot work is dead on the beat, and over all his playing is right in the pocket, nice and tight."
Chris had this to say: "Michael showed the most confidence and skill performing the track. His ability and mastery of his kit was apparent in the way he was able to smoothly mimic Grant, a phenomenal artist."
As winner of the contest, Michael will receive a comprehensive set of Meinl Classics Custom Cymbals, the same series that can be seen and heard in Grant's original "Toro" video."
Meinl would like to thank every contestant who took the time to participate. Your hard work and dedication to making the best video and performance possible is much appreciated.

Daily Prayer 2004-11-28
Listen to podcast version here.
November 28, 2004First Sunday of AdventFather John Doyle, LCMatthew 24:37-44Jesus
said to his disciples: As it was in the days
of Noah, so it will be at the coming of
the Son of Man. In those days before the flood
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
up to the day that Noah entered the ark. They
did not know until the flood came and carried them
all away. So will it be also at the coming
of the Son of Man. Two men will be out
in the field; one will be taken and one will
be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill;
one will be taken and one will be left. Therefore,
stay awake! For you do not know on which day
your Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the
master of the house had known the hour of the
night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed
awake and not let his house be broken into. So
too, you must also be prepared, for at an hour
you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.Introductory
Prayer: Lord Jesus allow me to spend this time in
prayerful dialogue with you. Permit me to place all of
my worries and cares aside to prepare myself for your
coming during this Advent season.Petition: My God, each day you
make an unexpected showing in my life. Help me to
be attentive so that I can welcome you upon your
arrival. 1. Be Prepared. Often in the course of our
busy lives events catch us off guard and unprepared. How
many birthdays or anniversaries of loved ones have slipped our
memories till the last moment or even after the fact?
If however there is one event that needs to be
placed in bold on our calendar it is Christs second
coming. Jesus is truly coming, seeking hearts where he will
be welcome. The danger of being caught off guard is
greater than we first perceive. Like the people in todays
Gospel passage, routine can set in. The hustle and bustle
of every day life can blind us to seeing and
recognizing Christs continued presence and guidance. Are there aspects of
my life that I wouldnt want Jesus to know about?
Are there people I have a hard time dealing with?
What do I need to change in my life so
that Jesus will be a welcome guest in every moment
of my day?2. Jesus is Coming. The Church offers us
these forty days of Advent to prepare for the Saviors
birth. But Christ doesnt come only once a year at
Christmas. As our Holy Father Pope John Paul II constantly
points out: Christ yesterday, today and forever. Christ came in
his incarnation, and he is still present with us in
scripture and in the Blessed Sacrament. Jesus also comes to
us, hidden, in our neighbor in need; we should be
attentive so as to recognize his coming and serve Christ
by living charity towards those around us. Do I see
the Incarnation as the greatest gift that God the Father
could have given to humanity? Am I aware that the
fulfillment of Jesus words, and behold I am with you
till the end of time find fulfillment in the Eucharist
as Pope John Paul points out so clearly in his
recent apostolic letter, Mane Nobiscum Domine (Stay with Us, Lord)?
Do I have a great love for Christ present in
the Blessed Sacrament and a great longing to receive him
worthily?3. Am I Prepared to Welcome Him? Advent is
upon us and the celebration of the birth of Christ
is just around the corner. How much our hearts long
for the joy and peace that the angels foretold the
night of Jesus birth! Will Jesus find a place to
be born this year? Like that first Christmas he will
go from door-to-door, in the womb of Our Blessed Mother,
seeking a place to stay. Maybe like that first Christmas
years ago, there will be some houses where no room
will be available for Jesus. Perhaps they will be too
filled up with the concerns of the festive moment. Yet,
while all the mansions and palaces may be booked up,
there will be other humbler places for the little Lord
Jesus to stay: simple hearts littered with straw and afire
with burning love on a cold winter night. Offer Jesus
your heart; just leave the door open a crack and
he will find his way in.Dialogue with Christ: My Lord
Jesus, I know that I am not worthy of the
great love you have for me. I get so caught
up in the concerns of the moment that at times
I forget about what is most important. When you knock
on my door this Christmas I desire to be awake
with my candle burning, prepared to receive you into my
heart. Resolution: I will arrive five minutes early to Mass
and prepare my soul for Jesus coming in the Blessed
Sacrament.Want to help us maintain this free service? Make a

Aikouka - Saturday, January 12, 2013 - linkThe biggest question that I always have about routers isn't just in regard to the latest technology, but how stable the devices are. Although, when you're tinkering on the bleeding edge, you almost always give up some stability, but I was curious how good Buffalo routers are in regard to it? I'm currently using a WNDR-3700, and except for some issues with devices having WiFi failing to operate while remaining connected, it works fine. Reply
iwod - Sunday, January 13, 2013 - linkThis depends. To be honest I have yet encounter a SINGLE Consumer Router that is fast and stable. There may be some which could be fast enough, but none of them are Stable in my views. ( And that depends on personally standard ).
I have used many, TP-Link, TrendNet, Buffalo, NetGear (UI = Yuck ), Linksys, ASUS, D-Link, EnGenius Zyxel etc
I dont expect the router to crash for at least 3 - 6 months of operation. That is the bare minimum. I dont expect the UI to be non accessible, which requires a restart to correct the issue.
Even with DD-WRT the story is the same. And my guess most of these stability are Software problems which is a continuous cost to support.
The ONLY good router i ever used is from Draytek. I suppose that is not a consumer grade product and it is expensive. But i haven't used any other enterprise grade product so i have no experience with others. I got it from a friend 2nd Hand for a cheap price. But it was the best router i ever used. A great Router is suppose to be invisible, you should not even know it exist and it should just sit there and work for months and years. Reply
andrewmickael - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkThe only fast and stable router I've ever had is the TP-Link N300 3T3R, which is the one I am currently using. I flashed DD-WRT on it and slapped on some high-gain antennas and it has been great. I've been using it for about 4 months now and haven't had to reset it once. Speeds are consistently good, too. I have my gaming rig, personal "server," iPhone, PS3, and MacBook Air connected to it and I've never had a problem with any of them. The only qualm I have with it is that it would've been nice to have a USB 3 port instead of just a USB 2, but for $50 I'm not complaining. Reply
nevertell - Saturday, January 12, 2013 - linkThis has always boggled my mind. For now, it only drives the cost up, and more often than not, to a point where most people would not buy it. An ssd is great if it's a system drive or maybe as a scratch drive, but due to their price and performance quirks and indeed durability, are, in my opinion, not meant for these kinds of devices. Whilst durability now is not a problem, as price will go down by a function of better (smaller) lithography, the durability will suffer, and whether it will become an issue or not, is not known at this point in time.
I AM STILL WAITING ON VIABLE GPU DOCKING STATIONS AND AN X SERIES THINKPAD WITH THUNDERBOLT. Reply
Brian Klug - Saturday, January 12, 2013 - linkI believe the use case everyone envisions for SSD thunderbolt or USB 3.0 devices is as you put it, either a media source drive or scratch drive. I've been working with some 1080p60 and 4K video from the GoPro and even though the source is maybe 30-40 Mbps working with it in any appreciable fashion basically necessitates an SSD. I'm not a videographer but that's the kind of magical use case I think OEMs dream about for these things.

Thee-O has always been ahead of his time, as a DJ, label owner, producer, and a re-mixer. He has been heralded as one of the most popular and hardworking DJ's in Los Angeles. Thee-O has been deemed the Godfather of the dance culture due to his longevity as a L.A. DJ since 1992. A musical entertainer since he was in pre-school, a mobile DJ since he was 13, a king of Goa and a Master of Trance and Techno in his twenties, and now a house-music veteran, DJ Thee-O of Los Angeles, radiates his musical mastery in the global electronic scene.
"It's hard to believe that one DJ can exude such confidence and mastery over so many styles of music." – URB Magazine
The name Thee-O has an immense impact on the electronic scene-sters that goes hand-in-hand with the Southern California rave and club culture. Ask anyone who resides in L.A. about DJ Thee-O and you will hear how they saw him at their first rave back in the early 90s or how they just heard his new track being dropped in a club downtown. Thee-O's passion for the electronic dance culture surpasses his talent and skills at the turntables and beyond to the studio.
Thee-O is best known for his talented mixing and scratching skills along with his consistent sets that always get the crowds moving and grooving. His loyal following continues to grow not only in the city of L.A. but beyond the U.S., with help from his numerous amount of original music productions, MP3 Sets, pod-casts, CD's, mix tapes, and his untiring efforts for the dance music industry that he loves so much. His DJing has taken him to 3 countries, 30 states and over 75 cities. Soon he will be traveling abroad to even more locations to spread his passion for the music.
"It is still a rush for me. After 16 years in this, I still find new things about that I enjoy. The music still is the main motivation for me." – Thee-O
When he was a child at the tender age of 5, he began taking a portable record player with him at all times and amused classmates and friends with classic movie soundtracks. At the age of 13, he obtained his first set of turntables and a mixer. Throughout high school he DJ'd at school dances and house parties where he honed his scratching skills. After he graduated High School in 1991 he was about to embark on training to be an opera singer but got sidetracked when he went to his first rave in early 1992. After that fateful night, he knew what he wanted to do with his life – become a DJ in this scene! It didn't take him long to accomplish that dream -with his first gig, "Under the Kandyground" in March of 1992, he began building a reputation as one of L.A.'s leading dance DJs.
Over the past years he has spun next to Outkast, Orbital, Underworld, BT, Judge Jules, The Orb, Paul Oakenfold, Moby, Aphex Twin, 808 State, Chemical Brothers, Mixmaster Morris, Blank & Jones, 2 Bad Mice, Carl Craig, Rabbit in the Moon, Juno Reactor, DJ Sneak, Dave Angel, Loop Guru, Westbam, X-Cabs, The Roots, Atomic Babies and many notable others.
Thee-O is the Los Angeles representative in a mix-show called Revolutions, on XM Satellite Radio. In 2003, he started his own show on XM Radio called Hazardous Radio that ran for a few years and continues on over at Pure.fm. Thee-O can still be heard today on XM's House/Progressive channel – The Move as well as being a guest DJ for Groove Radio on Sirius.
"When I am on the decks, it is my natural habitat, I feel most comfortable there." – Thee-O
In 1993, he started Biohazard Productions and Studios as collective of like-minded DJ's. In 1995 he threw his first event aptly titled "Tomorrowland". In 1996 he started writing for URB Magazine as a reviewer for Trance music. In 1997 he became part of the Balance Record Pool which is considered the best electronic dance pool in the country. In 1998 he released his first commercially available mix CD, "Skywalking" under the Base 9 label. In 2000 he was featured at every massive festival going off in Los Angeles, including Electric Daisy Carnival and Monster Massive. Recently, his name has spread over to the club market as well DJing for clubs like RED, Spundae, Funktion, Naked, Incognito and other L.A. establishments. He is currently known as the "Godfather" of the Los Angeles rave scene with his name on a flyer becoming almost a seal of approval for ravers.
"Thee-O is one of the longstanding and consistently amazing parts of the Southern California Rave Scene, and should be respected as such." – Raversdigest.com
As a producer and re-mixer, Thee-O is striking hard and is known as a force to be reckoned with in the global dance community. His recent remix, with Swedish Egil, for Adam Whites & Nat Monday's' "Another Dominant Force" released on Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto Digital has received legions of buzz.
"Thee-O is a accomplished producer with a mature production skills. He is a very diversified DJ who plays a big variety of the coolest underground sounds. He is on the cutting edge and one of Los Angeles's favorite rave DJ's." – Swedish Egil (Groove Radio, Powertools)
In October of 2000, he and his studio-partner Chris Arnold opened up Biohazard Studios, located inside the Til Dawn offices, right in the heart of Hollywood.

LGBTQ youth in North Texas are getting their very own Valentine's Day dance this year.
Chapters of the Gay Straight Alliance from five high schools in Dallas and Collin counties are coming together for the first-ever "Love Conquers All Ball," hosted by LULAC #4871 and Youth First Texas.
The event will be from 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 12 at Youth First Texas, and a $2 requested donation at the door will benefit the Trevor Project.
Jesse Garcia, president of LULAC #4871, said all teens ages 14-18 are invited regardless of whether they're members of GSAs — and regardless of whether they have dates.
Garcia also said organizers are looking for a photographer to take digital images of the couples, as well as a florist who can donate 50 to 60 flowers. Those interested in providing photography or flowers should e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
