Upgraded, Scalable SCADA Software
Siemens Industry Sector's Version 7.2 of its Simatic® WinCC SCADA program expands the software into a plant-wide information system that accommodates a system framework of up to 18 redundant servers. This upgrade also offers new Simatic Process Historian and Simatic Information Server options. Simatic Process Historian automatically acquires and archives data in real time from any number of lower-level WinCC systems for plant-wide analyses and reports, without interrupting production. Simatic Information Server creates reports and analyzes data with Web-based interfaces. Based on Microsoft Reporting Services, it allows users without programming experience to access data in WinCC, PCS 7 OS or Simatic Process Historian, and generates automatic cyclical and event-based interactive reports with Internet Explorer, Excel or Word and Adobe reader (PDF). WinCC 7.2 also supports the Unicode data format and lets users select the preferred language for local display or operator input over the Internet, regardless of the operating system's language setting. Two-finger, multi-touch gesture controls simplify complex production control. Set-point inputs are offered, and two-handed operations are required to protect users from unintentional switching operations.

text: What We Believe Mission Rooted in biblical and historic Christian faith, Northeastern Seminary prepares Christ-centered men and women for faithful, effective ministry to the church and the world. Vision By the grace of God, the vision of Northeastern Seminary is to transform the spiritual climate of the northeastern United States and beyond by preparing increasing numbers of theologically-reflective, spiritually-formed, professionally-competent persons for ministry. Northeastern Seminary's second decade will be one of significant growth in the richness of its educational programs, the breadth of its impact, and the strength of its organizational resources. Northeastern will become recognized as a mid-sized, multi-denominational, multi-ethnic seminary whose faculty are gifted teachers and scholars, whose students are being transformed in a dynamic and supportive learning community, and whose graduates embody, articulate, and advance the kingdom of God in a variety of ministry contexts around the world. Core Values Rootedness We provide a theological education that is built upon the foundation of a deep, sustained engagement with biblical and historic Christianity. Responsiveness We equip our students to practice ministry that is wisely and faithfully responsive to the constantly changing contexts of our culture and world.Respect-filled community We affirm and learn from each person in our richly-diverse community of faith, regardless of such distinctives as denominational affiliation, ethnicity, gender, or age. Scholarship We value the life of the mind, so we offer a carefully-designed, intentionally-integrated academic program that cultivates an aptitude for faithful theological reflection about the most central questions of life and ministry. Spiritual formation We affirm that the indispensable foundation for Christian ministry is a vital relationship with God through Christ, and so we seek to provide a nurturing community in which genuine Christian faith can deepen and thrive.Service to the church We believe that a theological seminary does not exist for its own sake, but exists rather to serve and resource the church of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for the article you published recently on Bear 2 Protection, LLC, based in Ahwatukee. I had been searching for a security company to take over the monitoring of an older alarm system in my cabin in Heber, Ariz., for almost four months.
I called Bear 2 Protection and immediately received a response from owner Alain Bertout, who listened to my story. He was more than happy to drive up to my cabin and update my alarm system and told me up front what the cost might be.
Within a couple of hours after arriving at the cabin, he had upgraded the system perfectly. My husband and I were impressed with his personal assistance in helping us understand how to work the new system, as he answered all of our questions and concerns.
It is truly a wonderful feeling to meet the owners of a business in our community who have integrity and honesty as their policies. I feel like I have made new acquaintances who actually care about their services provided to the consumer in a "small town" kind of way.

Orange County has state and federal approval to clear sand as needed when it builds up at the mouth of Poche Creek and blocks the outlet for runoff at Poche Beach. The resulting water backup often has flooded a public walkway to the beach.
The county released a statement saying the California Coastal Commission, California Regional Water Quality Control Board and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have approved a permit for the work.
"The county of Orange is always interested in providing better public access to our beaches, parks and open space," county Supervisor Patricia Bates said in the statement. "The ongoing maintenance at this site is yet another way that we can accomplish this goal."
Poche Beach is a county beach on the border of San Clemente and Dana Point.
With the permit, OC Parks can regularly clear the sand to prevent the water backup, within constraints set by regulators to protect two wildlife species – grunions and the western snowy plover.
Susan Brodeur, senior coastal engineer with OC Parks, said the county was told in the early 2000s that it needed a permit to clear the sand that builds up in the channel. The county held a permit in recent years to clear the channel once in the spring and once in the fall, but the permit expired. The county was seeking a more flexible permit.
"We are happy that the county can now clear the channel as needed," San Clemente Councilwoman Lori Donchak said in the statement. "Our residents and visitors will greatly benefit from the improved access to Poche Beach."
The county and the city of San Clemente also are working on a new plan to solve Poche Beach's chronic pollution. The beach has been a regular in recent years on environmental group Heal the Bay's annual list of "Top 10 Beach Bummers" – those with the highest bacteria levels in the state.
According to a city-funded watershed study completed this year, the biggest reason for the beach's high bacteria levels is excessive gull droppings. Some of the possible solutions mentioned are scaring gulls away with a falcon and draining a pond that attracts the birds.
Orange County opened a $3 million runoff-treatment facility beside Poche Creek in 2010 to suck in dirty creek water and clean it with ultraviolet radiation. Regulatory agencies won't let the county discharge the treated water into the ocean or onto the beach. In 2011, the county was allowed to discharge the filtered water at the outer edge of the pond, but it tended to mix with the pond water and get dirty again.

Asia's role in the post-crisis global economy
In the wake of the global financial crisis of 2007–08, Asia has emerged as a pillar of financial stability and economic growth. A recent San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank conference focused on Asia's changing role in the global economy. Asia's relative strength is allowing it to play an expanded part in multilateral responses to the European sovereign debt crisis. And the reforms put in place following the 1997 Asian financial crisis offer models for countries currently trying to stabilize their economies.

Americans in 13 states are rebelling against Obamacare. In addition to mobilizing opposition to big government power-grabs coming out of Washington DC, Campaign for Liberty also organizes patriots on the state level to fight big government policies there.
Just because our representatives on Capitol Hill have not been able to repeal or even limit the implementation of socialized medicine doesn't mean the fight is over. State governments must agree to implement lire parts of Obamacare, so our State Operations team has taken matters into their own hands.
One of the Affordable Care Act's chief goals is to expand the rolls of Medicaid, qualifying millions of the working poor — those who earn too much to qualify for the government's health-care coverage today but can't afford private insurance. When the law goes into effect next year, the Medicaid expansion won't play out the way President Barack Obama had hoped. That's because a Supreme Court ruling last year puts the decision in the hands of each state's lawmakers
The motivation for sitting out is often financial, with many states concerned that the expansion will strain their coffers to the breaking point, given that they'll be asked to take on 10% of coverage costs starting in 2020. But according to research from Rand Corporation, those states risk losing $8.4 billion in federal funds by snubbing the expansion.
The 13 states rebelling against Obamacare are Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Missouri, Wisconsin, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Kansas. Campaign for Liberty State Coordinators have been leading the charge against the setting up of healthcare exchanges for Obamacare and the expansion of Medicare, while turning up the heat on Governors and state legislators who are complying with this terrible piece of legislation.
With most people making minimum wage, it is hard enough to make ends meet. To be forced to buy into the "Affordable Care Act," which is not so affordable or be fined for not having insurance is putting many American people in a very tough position. It is understandable why these 13 states and more to follow will fight against Obamacare.

Big Game Needs Little Cars
So with the Super Bowl coming up you would expect business in Limo rentals and rental cars to be blowing up big time. If you want to make the bigger bucks, you need to think smaller, like fairway, country club smaller. Golf Carts are among the hottest commodities in Big D as V.I.P's headed for the game are out to arrive in style and we don't mean Caddillac Style!
The company has rented out its entire inventory and called other vendors for more carts. That's more than 100 vehicles. Some will be delivered to hotels for extra security including ALOFT in Dallas and to Gene Simmons' party," Aces and Angles, Salute to the Troops".
If you've got a custom cart there is a chance that you could make a few bucks from even as far away as Acadiana! That's how hard it is to find a golf cart in Dallas for Super Bowl Weekend. Geez, what if you just wanted to play 18 holes that day?

Certificate revocation checking: A simpler fix
The last two outcomes bother me the most. Requiring each issuer to notify Google directly means certificate issuers must support at least two revocation notification pathways: one just for Google, and the normal, standard method for everyone else. It's double the work at the very least. If every browser, OS, application, and service vendor decides to follow Google's lead, then it will quickly multiply the number of notifications, each with its own procedure and format. What's to stop Facebook, Twitter, or any other service with sufficient clout from requiring its own revocation checking method, now that Google has dismissed the current method as broken?
The current process is broken only because browsers do not enforce revocation checking, and there are no consequences for failure. If the major browser vendors forced revocation checking and blocked on failure as the protocol inventors intended, most revocation problems would disappear almost overnight. The only reason digital certificate issuers get away with poor implementation is that the browsers don't enforce revocation. If the browsers did their job, the users who rely on digital certificates would force the certificate issuers and owners to fall in line.
I understand that the real problem is with consumers. A few years ago, during a major Firefox update, when the Firefox browser all of a sudden enforced revocation, Mozilla received a hailstorm of complaints that forced the company to reverse the decision. The same thing happened to Microsoft when it tried to enforce certificate revocation in Internet Explorer. It "broke" websites, pissed off customers, and drove many users to alternative browsers.
If consumers demanded that PKI worked like the inventors said it would, they would demand that revocation checking be enforced. Digital certificate issuers, hearing complaints from users and websites, would fix errant certificates and revocation pointers.
That is my main problem with Google's decision. The current process works, or would work, if we'd use it as intended. Abandoning online revocation checking for an entirely new process will only lead to varying standards, confusion, and multiplication of effort. The inventors of PKI understood this. It's why they created a standard way for checking revocation information. Plus, we have existing PKI standards such as OCSP Stapling and Strict Transport Security that can be used or extended to overcome the problems Google is trying to escape.
I don't blame Google for feeling compelled to protect its customers as quickly as it can. Fixing existing protocols is a very long process, often measured in years. Still, there is a better solution than the one Google has proposed. I'd much rather see the major browser vendors coming together and agreeing on a common enforcement date. Give the major certificate issuers and owners a set period of time to get their houses in order, then enable enforcement of revoked certificates. General industry agreement would protect the largest number of consumers with the least amount of work. It's a "kumbaya" opportunity that doesn't require proprietary mechanisms or reinvention.

London - If you really want to enjoy your coffee, gulp it down.
Research suggests that the hot drink tastes better when it is guzzled quickly in big mouthfuls.
Doing so improves the aroma and the way in which flavour-rich compounds in gases are released, say Italian scientists.
In tests, a 25ml 'gulp' liberated more aromatic gases then a 10ml 'sip'.
The bigger mouthful also led to a higher proportion of chocolate, malty and caramel-like smells which make the coffee seem richer and tastier.
In contrast, taking ladylike sips made it seem more acidic.
It is thought that having more liquid in the mouth increases the area in which chemical reactions can take place – allowing them to pass a threshold.
University of Naples researchers, who published their study in the journal Food Research International, also claimed that brands from their homeland performed better than imported varieties.
Saliva stripped away more of the aromatic compounds in American-style filter coffee than Italian versions, they said. Their advice for the perfect coffee is now – have an espresso and drink it quickly.
Barry Smith, founder of the Centre for the Study of the Senses at the University of London, said: 'It sounds sensible to take a bigger mouthful if you are going to get more chance of getting more aroma, since coffee is all about aroma.' - Daily Mail

I always take my iPod; it passes the time and blocks out any noise around you in the plane.
Where next?
Hopefully, London again and Europe, exposing my music to the international market. - Weekend Argus

Endogenous R&D spillover and location choice in a mixed oligopoly
We consider a three-stage game where a public firm and a private firm choose R&D, location, and price, under the assumption that R&D spillovers rely on their locations. We show that, in equilibrium, whether the public firm engages in innovation more aggressively than the private firm depends on the degree of spillovers. Moreover, firms' equilibrium locations exhibit neither maximal nor minimal differentiation. Finally, privatization could reduce social welfare because it may generate inefficient location and insufficient R&D investment. This suggests that a mixed duopoly could be socially preferable to a private duopoly in the presence of endogenous R&D spillovers. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013

NEW YORK (The Deal) -- Scientific Games (SGMS) said Friday that it would acquire rival Bally Technologies (BYI) in a $5.07 billion cash and assumed debt deal that would combine two large manufacturers of lottery and gambling equipment.
Terms of the deal call for New York-based Scientific Games to pay $83.30 in cash for Bally, a premium of 38% to the company's Thursday close, for total equity consideration of $3.27 billion. Scientific Games will also assume and refinance about $1.8 billion in existing Bally net debt.
Las Vegas-based Bally is one of the most celebrated names in gambling equipment, a maker of electronic and table games, systems and technologies for casinos and other users. Scientific Games, maker of lottery games, sports betting technology and social gaming products, said the deal would expand its portfolio of products to include a leading casino management systems and table products including automatic shufflers, proprietary games and electronic table systems.
"The acquisition of Bally provides us with a unique opportunity to combine two exceptional companies with long track records of creating leading-edge games and gaming technology products for players and delivering innovative solutions to our customers," Scientific Games CEO Gavin Isaacs said in a statement. "We believe that the combined company will be uniquely positioned as a strategic partner for gaming and lottery operators, offering a highly diversified suite of value-enhancing products and services across multiple worldwide distribution channels and platforms."
Isaacs, who was named CEO of Scientific Games in June, is a one-time Bally executive who last year sold SHFL Entertainment to Bally for $1.31 billion.

Report: Huawei faces shortages of the 4.7 inch panel for the Huawei Ascend P6
0. phoneArena posted on 23 Aug 2013, 03:22
The Huawei Ascend P6 is one of the world's thinnest smartphones weighing in at a Twiggy-esque 6.18mm thick; yes, the device did lose the crown to newer models with a thickness of less than 6mm. In fact, the new title holder is the Vivo X3 which measures 5.6mm thick. The rest of the specs on the Huawei Ascend P6 make it a solid performer...

I dont intend to souund mean but who is actually buying this phone i have not seem it advertised or sold anywhere!
2. itsdeepak4u2000 (Posts: 3718; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
But this is a very good designed phone, nice option to buy with great specs and build quality that too from Chinese OEM.
3. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
Yeh I know it does look like a nice phone they just need to advertise it more!
4. Birds (Posts: 1171; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
You pointed out a solid point. People don't know to buy a phone if their is no compelling advertisement, let alone, any advertisement for the device.
5. yahoo29 (Posts: 71; Member since: 15 Sep 2012)
The only thing is Huawei and other Chinese OEM is not updating their phone and I dont like it >.
8. boosook (Posts: 1442; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
I've seen it (in Lisbon) and touched it, very well built, good design and premium feel… I have to say I was impressed! It has that premium feel that only the iphone and few other phones have, and it does not have the gigantic size of the latest 5" flagships by samsung etc.
11. GamePlayer (Posts: 51; Member since: 06 Jun 2013)
I live in Pakistan, and i see it's advertisements pretty often.
14. henrys (Posts: 15; Member since: 06 Aug 2012)
sold in 2 major retail stores in Australia as well as online stores
6. BooBooooooo (Posts: 56; Member since: 07 Aug 2013)
So, how much is it?
7. itsdeepak4u2000 (Posts: 3718; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
You means cost, it's $440 USD. Haven't you read the article?
12. GamePlayer (Posts: 51; Member since: 06 Jun 2013)
400 dollar in my country! :)

Samsung, which is the major LCD manufacture, warn about a LCD shortage earlier this year. Be Amoled, SuperLCD 2,3 and IPS screens, Samsung has more capacity than anyone to deliver yet even they warned of a shortage. Why? Samsung flagship will get their displays first followed by Apple ( which will have all of LG's and sharps capacity and even Samsung's) so other lower tier manufactures get almost nothing

first of all sorry if this problem is minor and if it could be solved by the faq or the wiki but i don't know much about computer stuff and therefore don't understand most of what's written there. it would be nice if anyone could help me anyways.
i installed a game (the book of unwritten tales) and when i wanted to start it at first everything was fine. while it was loading the exception error occured:
OGRE EXCEPTION(3:RenderingAPIException): Failed to DrawPrimitive : Invalid call in D3D9RenderSystem::_render at..\src\OgreD3D9RenderSystem.cpp (line 2738)
do i need to update anything? or is the game never gonna run on my notebook (vaio).
my graphics card is a intel GM 945 with 128 mb. the back of the game says that it should work with hardware like that.
i updated the graphics driver.
i'm happy about answers,

Is photography art or technology..?
This is a roundabout way of bringing attention to something I've mentioned before. We have a photography forum, but it is the last sub-forum on Teakdoor in the multimedia forum, it's a place where threads are born to die.
In my opinion photography is an art and since this art forum has been created I think the photography sub-forum should be moved here.
I'm highlighting this again after looking at pictures from the Nikon Small World competition, pictures like this..
Dr John H Brackenbury, University of Cambridge, UK: Water droplet containing a pair of mosquito larvae (Laser-triggered high-speed macrophotography)
..and this...
Yanping Wang, Beijing Planetarium: Sand
..and let you know that this years entries can be viewed and voted on here: Nikon Small World - Photomicrography Competition but if I posted it in the photography sub-forum, no-one would ever see it.
So is photography art or technology?
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

Nice link Neo, some fascinating photos there. Makes my poxy macro shots look utterly crap!
But yeah, it's definitely an art. It's hard enough choosing good composition, before you even get to exposure, contrast, depth of field, lighting considerations etc.
A bad photographer can make the most exciting/beautiful scenes seem dull, the good photographer can find and reveal something of interest or beauty in the most everyday and mundane things.

In transit to Valhalla
It's an "art" and technology can be used to alter and enhance the image significantly, the subject can be staged etc. and the results can be just stunning. Unaltered un-staged photos that deserve the label art is probably the best of the lot because that takes real talent and maybe also luck, asking a computer-program to show you 10 different versions and then picking the one you like is maybe a little less talent and a bit more tech-savy.
But the borders are floating because it is also documentary when used to report on events or places for-instance, and somehow i think there should be clear distinctions, maybe a bit like a content declaration, lots of photos in media is altered quite a bit and show a fake "truth", and it is used to deceive people for sales reasons, for political reasons etc.
You often see examples in photo mags and so on where the original image has almost no relation to the photo-shop/aperture digitally altered image they end up with.
I know it is a complicated problem and that for-instance every single camera type/brand/lens makes slightly different photos in the standard settings, so when do a photo become digitally tech altered enough to be labeled as such ?.
But it does not even have to be good photos to be labeled art IMO, as soon as the original image is changed by a certain margin it becomes the vision of the photographer/tech. and is no longer a "realistic" photo, and then it is art! IMO - good or bad.
Anyway for me the photography sub forum could very well be in the art section to answer the OP.

^^Oh yeah, forgot to add that I agree with giving the photography forum a bit of a bump up the list...I'd considered starting a thread there myself but thought it'd probably slip by unnoticed.
Theres some good photographers on TD and if it was a bit more prominent I'm sure more would be encouraged to start some decent threads there.

I like photography but IMHO it is overrated ,, we all know about the power of photoshop for those of us clever enuf to be able to use it ,,,having said that , there is the cheap click and clunk software a blindman could use to achieve very passable results . Give a man who has no clue about photography or painting a camera along with 3 primary colours some brushes + paper to paint on , he wont be able to produce art with the paints but he will provide you with a picture
I know there is some fantastic photographers on here but as someone who loves to paint pictures as opposed to photographing them , I am sorry but it grates with me , everytime I walk into a shop/gallery that used to sell 100% original paintings , now you go in there and its 50/50 original paintings and original photoshopped scenes tweaked and twisted to allmost fool the masses with there watercolour/oil effects aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!
I'm proud of my 38" waist , also proud I have never done drugs

I know if I were a prof artist who had natural talent and had spent years and years of some of the most mundane training to get to a good enuf level to call myself an artist I would be pretty pissed off to have to compete with this kinda stuff that was nowhere to be seen in the volumes it is now .
If you want to have a look at some real art have a look at this link , I used to be mates with him when we were kids , he is one talented artist and he is still despite his wealth a down to earth guy

No skill at composition and in the use of the eqipment and you are unlikely to get an artistic picture.

Well there is an obvious demarcation between technology and art, that makes it difficult to place wholly in either genre.
But what of giving the photography forum a higher profile?
It would seem that most agree it is a good idea.
So, can the mods put their heads together and move the sub-forum here?

I should not admit this but I have a minor in photography. Now this was in the day of developing one's pic by hand. Learned a lot but forgot most. I was one of those guys who could not draw worth a shit.A stickman drawing was tough for me.
But I can capture the moment, sometimes...
Then TD has the experts that make me look like crap. Still fun to shoot photos anyway...

City Veteran David Buik joins all star speaker lineup at UKInvestor Show
There are two big pieces of news today from the UK's top investor conference, UKInvestor Show which takes place in April 13th in London.
The first is that following a rush of applications for places at the 2500 person event, which has seen more than 800 applications received in the past week the event is now 70% sold out. That is to say there are now less than 750 seats available. I have been involved in running the Master Investor event for 11 years and I have never seen such huge interest at this stage – eleven weeks before the show takes placeRead the full article on ADVFN | Comments

Once the Benjamin Discovery Air Rifle Kit is filled, there is no pumping and no worry about the outdoor temperature. Just shoot until the gun needs to be refilled. The Benjamin Discovery Air Rifle Kit has a 2000 psi fill level and can be filled with compressed air using a high pressure hand pump (included).
PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatics) use compressed air as the propellant to fire the projectile. PCP airguns can be charged by using a hand pump, scuba tank or carbon fiber tank.
Dual Fuel - An inexpensive CO2 adapter (not included) converts this rifle from compressed air to CO2 operation which makes it easy to fill from a standard paintball tank, offering more shots from a single fill. CO2 is excellent for indoor use or for outdoor casual plinking.

Fear was an evil magic spell available before the evil and good magic skills were merged into one spellbook. It required three body runes and one mind rune.
Fear was cast on an attackable NPC to allow a player to avoid combat with that NPC. Fear had two entirely different effects, depending on the state of the target NPC:
NPC in combatEdit
When Fear was cast on an NPC engaged in combat with the casting player, the NPC would retreat from combat, and stop being aggressive toward the casting player. This was often used as a move of desperation for players overwhelmed by the target NPC.
NPC not in combatEdit
When Fear was cast on NPCs not engaged in combat, the spell would make the NPC "disappear." Essentially, the NPC would appear to log off, just as a player would. No bones would be left behind, and minutes later, the NPC would respawn as normal. While it is unknown whether this effect was a bug or not, many players used the spell as a joke on other players who were trying to train combat, casting fear on others' training targets. Other players used it to steal kills, much to the annoyance of others.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/5/2013 (1554 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The U.S.-Canada border crossing at Gretna has been closed temporarily due to overland flooding from the Pembina River in the United States.
The closure affects traffic along Highway 30 in Manitoba and North Dakota's Highway 18.
Border crossings at Emerson, Tolstoi and Haskett remain open.
In North Dakota, the Renwick Dam on the Tongue River, a tributary of the Pembina, is in danger of overtopping or failing. The city of Cavalier, N.D. has been placed under an evacuation order.
Some eastern tributaries of the Red River, such as the Roseau and Rat rivers, are still rising but expected to remain well within their banks.
In a flood bulletin this afternoon, Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation said heavy rains over the Victoria Day long weekend are continuing to produce extensive farmland flooding in areas that received more than 75 millimetres of rain.
Flooding is mainly affecting areas west of the Red River and south of Highway 23 in the rural municipalities of Rhineland, Stanley and Pembina. Flooding has also occurred further north in the RMs of Roland, Thompson and Dufferin.

Radio jockey Mantra is not sure why he got voted out of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6. But he thinks that since he didn't enter the celebrity dance show as a comedian, his chances of continuing with it probably got reduced.
Mantra, known for good comic timing and mimicry skills, had recently joined the reality show as a wild card entry with other celebrities like TV actor Karan Patel, actress Sana Saeed and reality show participant Mukti Mohan. But he got eliminated Saturday.
"I didn't enter the show as a comedian. Maybe that's one of the reasons why I am not carrying on," the 31-year-old told. He is not the first comedian to be voted out immediately after joining the show. Suresh Menon, who tried to infuse comedy into his act, was the first participant to be evicted from the sixth season of the show.
Did the presence of professional dancers like Mukti, Lauren Gottlieb and the Sonali-Sumant duo make it difficult for him to hang on? "I don't think so. It's a reality show so there are no rules. Official content happens on stadium. So you can't complain," he said. His stay was a brief one, but he is happy.

Caring, listens
I was transferred to Dr. Thomas after my regular physician of 25+ years retired. He has a good bedside manner, listens to your problems and concerns, and voices his reasoning for decisions, which I find important.

Terrible Experience
While the staff is courteous the practice appears to be too overwhelmed with patients to give prompt service when it comes to call backs. As a result I had to call back numerous times to eventually be told I could not be seen and to go to Urgent Care. I was not able to see the Dr.Thomas until the following day at noon. I had concerns about future visits involving a reoccuring condition (urinary tract infection very painful) which could be resolved by a mere prescription ( my previous physican after looking at my medical history). He became agitated by my suggestion and said WELL WE DO NOT DO THAT HERE IF YOU WANT THAT KIND OF SERVICE YOU CAN GO BACK TO THAT DOCTOR. THAT WAS BAD MEDICINE. WE DO NOT PRACTICE THAT HERE! I was absolutely floored! I have never received that kind of treatment anywhere! I was shocked. He has never behaved this way before. After talking this over with my spouse that evening I asked to have my records to transfer to another practice. The receptionist referred me to the office manager who was very cordial and apologetic and she offered to get the same physician that my spouse had. The next day she called and said that she was unable to get the same physician resulting in my transferring to another practice. I am extremely disappointed in the resolution and I certainly do not feel that this practice values my business. Titles and credentials does not give anyone the right to trash or humilate any patient.

Dr. Thomas was my grandparents' primary care physician when he was in Newport Beach, California. His level of care was above and beyond that of all the primary care doctors they had ever had. He is a kind and caring individual, who listens to everything his patients have to say. I cannot count the number of times he called my grandparents (and me) at home -- after hours -- to check on mt grandparents. Simply stated, Dr. Thomas is one of the best physicians I have come across in many years. I only wish he were still in Southern California.

Symmachus, also known as Symmachus the Ebionite (Ἐβιωνίτης Σύμμαχος) (fl. late 2nd century) was the author of one of the Greek versions of the Old Testament. It was included by Origen in his Hexapla and Tetrapla, which compared various versions of the Old Testament side by side with the Septuagint. Some fragments of Symmachus's version that survive, in what remains of the Hexapla, inspire scholars to remark on the purity and idiomatic elegance of Symmachus' Greek. He was admired by Jerome, who used his work in composing the Vulgate.
According to Bruce M. Metzger[1] the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures prepared by Symmachus followed a "theory and method ...the opposite of that of Aquila, for his aim was to make an elegant Greek rendering. To judge from the scattered fragments that remain of his translation, Symmachus tended to be paraphrastic in representing the Hebrew original. He preferred idiomatic Greek constructions in contrast to other versions in which the Hebrew constructions are preserved. Thus he usually converted into a Greek participle the first of two finite verbs connected with a copula. He made copious use of a wide range of Greek particles to bring out subtle distinctions of relationship that the Hebrew cannot adequately express. In more than one passage Symmachus had a tendency to soften anthropomorphic expressions of the Hebrew text". However, Symmachus aimed to preserve the meaning of his Hebrew source text by a more literal translation than the Septuagint.
The Ebionites were a sect of practicing Jews, mainly in Palestine, Syria and Cappadocia, who apparently accepted Jesus as a prophet during the early centuries of the Common Era, but rejected his divinity (see the Gospel according to the Hebrews).
Symmachus also wrote commentaries, not extant, apparently written to counter the canonical Greek Gospel of Matthew, his Hypomnemata;[2] it is probably identical with De distinctione præceptorum, mentioned by Ebed Jesu.[3] Origen states that he obtained these and others of Symmachus' commentaries on the scriptures from a certain Juliana, who, he says, inherited them from Symmachus himself.[4] Palladius of Galatia[5] found in a manuscript that was "very ancient" the following entry made by Origen: "This book I found in the house of Juliana, the virgin in Caesarea,[6] when I was hiding there; who said she had received it from Symmachus himself, the interpreter of the Jews". The date of Origen's stay with Juliana was probably 238-41, but Symmachus's version of the Scriptures had already been known to Origen when he wrote his earliest commentaries, ca 228. Epiphanius' account that Symmachus was a Samaritan who having quarrelled with his own people converted to Judaism[7] is now given greater credence, since Symmachus' exegetical writings give no indication of Ebionism.[8]
From the language of many later writers who speak of Symmachus, he must have been a man of great importance among the Ebionites, for "Symmachians" remained a term applied by Catholics even in the fourth century to the Nazarenes or Ebionites, as we know from the pseudepigraphical imitator of Ambrose, the Ambrosiaster, Prologue to the Epistle to the Galatians, and from Augustine's writings against heretics.

But the heresy of the Ebionites, as it is called, asserts that Christ was the son of Joseph and Mary, considering him a mere man, and insists strongly on keeping the law in a Jewish manner, as we have seen already in this history. Commentaries of Symmachus are still extant in which he appears to support this heresy by attacking the Gospel of Matthew. Origen states that he obtained these and other commentaries of Symmachus on the Scriptures from a certain Juliana, who, he says, received the books by inheritance from Symmachus himself."; Jerome, De Viris Illustribus, chapter 54

According to a source, the 'Nightcrawler' actor 'was very taken with [Miller], but I think their work definitely drew them apart.'
Jake Gyllenhaal apparently is back on the market. Us Weekly reports that the star of "The Day After Tomorrow" has split from Sports Illustrated model Alyssa Miller after six months of dating. The couple's heavy workload reportedly contributed to the separation.
"They fizzled out. It happened a while ago - before the holidays. He's back on the scene," a source said. Another source close to the duo explained, "Things were really good between Jake and Alyssa right up until he had to leave for L.A. to go shoot a movie ['Nightcrawler'] in the fall. Then the distance just really got to them."
"They were apart for the holidays, and things weren't good with them even before that. She's very much a long-term relationship girl. He's not as much of that mindset," another source said of the couple, while another added similar info, saying that Gyllenhaal "was very taken with [Miller], but I think their work definitely drew them apart."
Gyllenhaal and Miller reportedly met for the first time at a gym last year. The 33-year-old actor is now busy filming his latest flick "Nightcrawler". The thriller tells the story of a freelance crime reporter who discovers the underground world of L.A. He plays alongside Rene Russo and Bill Paxton among others.

From a media release:
Performance Art:
Etobicoke Grannies tweet their #legacy in opening HATCH performance – April 12, 2014 – #HatchTO
Harbourfront, Toronto
TORONTO, ON – Featuring three women over 65, Grandma meets the Twitterverse in this performance project, which examines what is left behind and why we look to leave a legacy. Harbourfront Centre is pleased to present #legacy as the first project of the HATCH 2014 season. The piece is co-created and directed by Rob Kempson, a theatre artist who regularly works in arts education and applied theatre. Equal parts community arts project and interactive stage piece, #legacy promises to ask provocative questions about how we define others and ourselves by what we share both in person and online.
When three women over 65 get on stage to share their thoughts on legacy, it's bound to be poignant; when they are asked to tweet about it, anything can happen. Joan, Judith and Donna are new to social media and do not consider themselves 'artists'. For Kempson's HATCH performance experiment, all three women have undertaken the task of reflection, exploring what it means to leave a legacy, to create something permanent, something memorable. These three women: @judith_dove, @Joan_Belford2 and @McCroq have been tweeting throughout the creation process using the #HatchTO and #Legacy hashtags. They will continue to tweet during the performance, in an effort to understand how sharing content online can leave a legacy of its own.
What are the implications of an online legacy that is based on frequency and not potency? Audiences will have the chance to hear the script on stage and engage with the "Twitter script" online—a series of reflections, considerations and questions from the performers that will be tweeted as the piece is being played out. Whether audiences come to sit in the tweet seats with their smartphone or choose to watch as the online story develops through projection on stage, this is an experiment in combining new technologies and community-based art that will touch hearts and ask big questions.
"We make assumptions about the capacities of older adults," suggests Kempson, who began co-creating #legacy after facilitating a multi-generational project with these women at their church. "Joan, Judith, and Donna carry a great deal of truth with them. They know who they are and they're willing to take the artistic risk to share it. I think audiences will be surprised by these women and what they have to offer, from the things they tweet to the stories they reveal on stage."
Rob Kempson is a multi-faceted theatre artist and artist-educator, and for this project, is working in collaboration with production designer Beth Kates and dramaturg Samantha Serles. Kempson's work has regularly led to community-based collaborations, including interactive exhibits for Casa Loma and Opera Atelier, as well as the creation of collective work with students and non-artists of all ages. He has taught workshops in community-based collective creation with the York and Peel Regional School Boards, the Council of Drama and Dance Educators and the Toronto District School Board Arts Co-Op, as well as at a number of Toronto theatre companies. He was most recently seen starring in his musical The Way Back To Thursday at Theatre Passe Muraille.
• Tickets for #legacy and other HATCH 2014 projects are available via Harbourfront Centre's Box Office. Patrons can call 416-973-4000416-973-4000, visit 235 Queens Quay West and/or go online for all ticket inquiries.
Celebrating its tenth year, HATCH is a key initiative in Harbourfront Centre's mission to develop local artists and their unique practices. Curated by Michael Wheeler and Aislinn Rose, the 2014 HATCH residency and mentorship programme provides resources and professional assistance to a new generation of engaging and innovative contemporary artists.

West Newton mayor under investigation for handling of money collected from fundraisers
West Newton's mayor Monday acknowledged she is under investigation for how she handled money collected from fundraisers she has conducted over the past two years.
Mayor Mary Popovich said outside a council executive session that she is being investigated by the Westmoreland County Detectives for her handling of money raised during the 2011 and 2012 Rocktoberfests at Vine Street Park and a St. Patrick's Day fundraiser for the West Newton Fire Department. She denied any wrongdoing and said no charges have been filed.
Popovich provided information to Detective Tom Horan to show how the money was raised and distributed, and plans to give to Horan this week the receipts from the three fundraisers, she said.
Horan could not be reached for comment.
"This is a political vendetta. I feel (the accusations) was political in a nature and was public knowledge," Popovich said.
Popovich, a first-term Democrat, did not have opposition in the May primary for nomination for a second term.
Popovich told council that she had given the borough $1,500 from the $3,000 in proceeds from the 2012 Rocktoberfest, which had a car, motorcycle and truck cruise, along with food and music. The proceeds are to be used to pay the borough for improvements to Vine Street Park, Popovich said.
When questioned by Council President George Molovich why she did not turn over the entire amount, she said she would wait until the borough did the work, then turn over the remainder of the money.
"I was told to give (the money) to the borough because of the investigation," Popovich said outside the meeting.
The mayor said she had kept the $3,000 from the 2012 Rocktoberfest in an escrow account she opened at a credit union in the hope of getting an organization to undertake improvements at Vine Street Park. Her website states she has been an assistant professor in the Department of Health Science since 1988.
Popovich said she had hoped to raise additional money to have a fence installed around Vine Street Park, install solar-powered lights, pave the park with a mixture of blacktop and crushed recycled tires, but was told by the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources that it would cost $75,000. She said the borough estimated it would cost $15,000 to repave the park, which has a basketball court.
Popovich said she deposited $4,009 in proceeds from a St. Patrick's Day fundraiser for the West Newton fire department to Commercial Bank & Trust for a mortgage payment for the fire department.
Rick Wagner, West Newton fire company president, could not be reached for comment.
The mayor said that a West Newton Girl Scout troop received $2,500 from the 2011 Rocktoberfest.

Bishop Canevin holds off Burrell in PIAA quarterfinals
The girls basketball teams from Burrell and Bishop Canevin were both looking for the first PIAA semifinal berth in their respective histories when the two teams squared off Friday night.
With a tenacious defense and a strong shooting performance by senior Celina DiPietro, the Crusaders advanced to Class AA semifinals on Tuesday night. Bishop Canevin earned a 41-29 victory over the Bucs at North Hills High School. Bishop Canevin (25-4) will play rival Seton-La Salle for a spot in the state finals.
Burrell finished the season at 24-4, tied with the 1993-94 team's mark for the most wins in school history.
DiPierto scored 22 of her team's 41 points, including five 3-pointers, as Burrell played a much closer game against the Crusaders than the last time the two teams met on Feb. 26. Bishop Canevin won that one, 55-19, but needed better than two quarters Friday night to build a double-digit lead.
Despite winning the first WPIAL title in school history and his team being one step away from a trip to Hershey, Crusaders coach Tim Joyce isn't looking at this as a breakthrough season for his program.
"I don't really think of it that way," Joyce said. "We take one game at a time. That's this year. That's how I pretty much approach each year."
Burrell had the lead for nearly a minute in the first period when Erika Finn came off the bench to make a 3-pointer to give the Bucs a short-lived 6-4 advantage.
But DiPietro answered with a pair of 3-pointers in the final minute of the period, including one that beat the buzzer. Those shots were part of an 11-2 surge that put the Crusaders in the driver's seat.
Burrell committed just two team fouls in the first half and trailed, 19-12, at the intermission.
Like many games this season, Bishop Canevin did the little things that don't show up in the box score. Four times after a Burrell player grabbed a rebound, a Bishop Canevin player batted the ball away to keep the offensive sequence going. The Crusaders committed 15 turnovers, but Burrell couldn't convert, scoring just eight field goals during the game.
"That's kind of how you get this far," Joyce said. "If you don't do those things you generally don't get this far. We preach defense and rebounding as a constant."
Sydney Bordonaro dribbled the length of the floor for a basket to start the third quarter and bring the Bucs to within five, 19-14.
But Bishop Canevin answered with two quick baskets.
"We were happy we were able to compete this time," Bordonaro said. "But we'd get to within five, and they'd get a 3-pointer."
"Bishop Canevin's a great team; they've got so many shooters," said Bucs coach Meghan Ziemianski. '"They can shoot from anywhere on the floor."
DiPietro's fourth 3-pointer gave Bishop Canevin it's first double-digit lead, 28-18, with 3:47 left in the third period.
Burrell couldn't get any closer the rest of the way.
Bordonaro scored nine points before fouling out with 1:23 to go.
Carly Force led the Crusaders with eight rebounds, and Bishop Canevin had 14 team steals.

KENILWORTH, N.J. Schering-Plough on Friday announced a first-time sponsorship deal with NASCAR star and allergy sufferer Carl Edwards for the 2008 Sprint Cup racing season.
Edwards, a member of the Roush Fenway Racing team and 2007 Busch Series champion, will drive the No. 99 Claritin Ford Fusion during selected spring races, and Claritin branding will appear on his No. 99 Office Depot Ford Fusion and firesuit throughout the season.
Edwards also will serve as spokesman for the Claritin "Clear to Drive" campaign. Schering-Plough plans to hold a sweepstakes later this year, awarding five NASCAR fans the opportunity to win a trip around the track with Edwards. One of those fans also will win a Ford Mustang.
"Claritin is proud to sponsor Carl Edwards as he pursues the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship," stated TJ Higgins, group vice president of marketing at Schering-Plough Consumer Healthcare. Edwards will record a radio announcement to educate consumers about the dangers of drowsy driving, which is a growing safety problem in the United States and can potentially result from taking medicines that can cause drowsiness. "Drowsy driving is dangerous, and I'm pleased to be working with Claritin to launch the 'Clear to Drive' campaign," he stated. "I want to make sure people know how important it is to read the labels of products and understand the potential side effects before they get behind the wheel."

Regents was founded by a group of concerned individuals who desired a distinctly different educational opportunity. Through diligent prayer, research and commitment to being Christ-centered in principle and classical in method, Regents opened its doors in August 1992. We founded our modest beginnings at Park Hills Baptist Church with 17 students, two classrooms, two teachers and four grades 1-4; one-room school-house.
Today Regents educates over 1000 students grades K-12 and has become well recognized by peers for outstanding accomplishments in teaching, curriculum, students' achievement, parental involvement, and community support.
Contact our Admissions Office to find out more about how to become a part of this community.
