Trade experts predicted that Kareena Kapoor's Heroine, which hit the screens on September 21, would send down the collection of Barfi. But it was vice versa. Barfi continued to rock at the collections in the second week. It badly affected the business of Heroine, which collected Rs 37 crores in the first week.
Barfi had done wonderful business in the first week with its seven-day collection reaching Rs 58+ crore at the domestic Box Office. It fell down by 50% in the second week, but it was still good, when compared to Heroine. It added Rs 28.55 crores nett in the second week to its 14-day total Rs 87.15 crores nett. Its week 2 breakup is Rs 4.1 cr on Fri, Rs 6 cr on Sat, Rs 7 cr on Sun, Rs 3.25 cr on Mon, Rs 3.10 cr on Tue, Rs 2.6 cr on Wed and Rs 2.5 cr on Thu.
However, Barfi is going to be the next movie to join Rs 100 crore club and it needs Rs 12.85 crores to surpass this big mark. The film is now facing big threat from OMG Oh My God and Kamaal Dhamaal, which have hit the screens today. Will Barfi beat them and cross Rs 100 crore mark in the third week. Stay locked to this space to read updates on its collections.

Kurtley Beale is shaping as the Waratahs' gun inside-centre in the latest back-line combination favoured by Michael Cheika.
The NSW coach is yet to settle on his preferred line-up and will give incumbent No.12 Rob Horne more time in the midfield before the season proper kicks off in two weeks.
But the fruits of Beale's combination with five-eighth Bernard Foley and fullback Israel Folau in the second half of the Waratahs' trial-match 33-12 win against the Blues on Friday may be too good to ignore.
The trio were potent in attack, their hands all over the Waratahs' second-half tries to Stephen Hoiles and Alofa Alofa.
But counter-attack is the phrase at the forefront of Cheika's mind, with Beale moving out back with Folau when the Waratahs defended, while Foley and Matt Carraro covered the midfield.
"Defences are so good now that we have to make something happen out of nothing," Cheika said after the match. "Beale did that tonight on several occasions."
The 39-Test Wallaby sees where his coach is going with the experiment but is happy to go with the flow. "I thought it worked really well," Beale said. "In saying that, when Jono Lance went in there I think he did the same thing. He can mix it up and be more direct and really use his feet there and I thought he went really well tonight.
"But I'm always going to go back to [the mindset that] I don't mind where I am in the team; I'm here to help the boys move forward and hopefully get a title at the end of the year."
There is one more trial match – against the Highlanders in Newcastle this week – up Cheika's sleeve. Rob Horne will see more time at No.12 while the tinkering continues on the training paddock.
"There's a couple of different combinations that we looked at tonight and we'll probably eliminate one of those and drive a couple more through next week for a bit longer, and see what we come up with," Cheika said. "The idea with the recruitment was to create those options and have that pressure.
"There were a few passes that I would have liked Bernard [Foely] to make a bit better – he made a couple of passes he wouldn't have been happy with - but then he made a few great ones.
"That's a key element for us to improve on last season, to get that consistency around our delivery, so the breaks we are making we convert more often."
Everyone is in the dark. Asked what his gut feel was on which jersey he would be wearing against the Force in round one, Beale was at a loss. " 'Cheik' holds a lot of stuff close to his chest and as a player it's keeping me focused and on edge and I'm definitely feeling the vibe off the boys," he said.
"[We are] rocking up at training not really knowing what's going on but I think it's definitely keeping us on our toes and pushing each other to the limits.
"You can feel it out there on the field, we're all combining well and we all know our roles and all know where to be in certain positions on the field. Maybe that's a trick, I don't know, but there's definitely a spark there."
In the first of the season's injury updates, Waratahs veteran Mitchell Chapman has been ruled out with a split in his Achilles tendon. The lineout technician will miss the rest of the season, leaving Kane Douglas, Will Skelton and Jacques Potgieter to cover second row, along with captain and line-out caller Dave Dennis.
Potgieter, a former Springbok and Blue Bulls second-rower, is expected to play his first game in the NSW jersey this week.

Help with Curtain Sizes
Help with Curtain Sizes
First you should know that Window Toppers supplies you with excellent size information on each product page that states the window width each item will accommodate as well as other helpful sizing information. We provide this in the main product description and added information under the Measurements & Size Help tab, located next to the description tab on the page.
If you are unfamiliar with terms used in this guide, please view our Guide To Window Treatment Terminology for help with understanding any of the terms used in describing curtains and how they are manufactured.
What size curtains do I need - is probably the most often asked question we hear. We understand this and have many many years of experience helping our customers figure out what size curtains or window treatments they need for their homes. Window Toppers is going to provide you with some great information to help with buying curtains.
Measuring The Length Needed:
*Important Note about Rod Pocket Size and measuring lengths
- Curtains and window treatments made with a 1 1/2 inch rod pocket are measured overall. Length is measured from the top edge of the curtain to the bottom edge (longest point) of the curtain. Unless otherwise noted on product description.
- Window Treatments made with a 3 inch rod pocket are measured from the top stitch line of the rod pocket to the bottom edge (longest point) of the curtain. Unless otherwise noted on product description.
Pinch Pleated Drapes & Patio Door Drapery Panels (have no rod pocket) are measured overall. Length is measured from the top edge of the drape to the bottom edge (longest point) of the drapery.
How to measure your window for length needed.
With your empty curtain rod hanging on your window, measure from the top of the curtain rod down to the top edge of the window sill.
Example; if this area measures 63", you would need to order a 63" long curtain if you desired it to hang down this long.
Curtains are made to fit these common window lengths, 24", 30", 36", 38", 45", 54", 63", 72", 81" or 84", & 95".
If you happen to have a window that falls in between these sizes, you could use curtains that are a little longer, or a little shorter, depending on the desired look you are trying to achieve.
Example; if your window measures 60", you could use a 63" long curtain which would hang 3" longer than window sill, or a 54" long, which would hang 6" above window sill.
You could also move your curtain rod hardware to accommodate for the difference in lengths if possible, or order a customized length from us.
Tiers Curtains , which are commonly referred to as " privacy curtains" are generally used to cover the bottom half of your window. Tiers should hang down so they just barely reach the window sill. Some people use Tiers as a stand alone window treatment in windows of short lengths.
Panel Curtains are often displayed hanging longer than the window. Some people like them to hang just a few inches longer than the window sill. Most rod pocket panels are displayed in this manner.
While another popular look is for them to hang down to the floor. For floor length we recommend a 1/2" - 1" above the floor in high traffic areas to help keep them clean and dust free. A common way to display grommet panels & tab top panels.
And for those who wish to create an elegant puddling look of panels gathered on the floor, you would want to add anywhere from 12" - 18" added length to the rod to floor measurement.
When using Valances Curtains, most people like them to hang just long enough to create an eye appealing look while not blocking one's view through the window. Window Toppers designs our valance styles such as ruffled valances and tailored valances with this in mind.
Swag Curtains are another curtain style that the desired length can vary depending on ones personal taste for the look they are trying to achieve. If you intend on using a swag curtain in a kitchen window above a sink or working area like a counter top, we recommend that the length of the swag be short enough so it does not come into contact with either water or food prep area for obvious reasons.
When displaying our ruffled swags curtains or tailored swags curtains in a living room, dining room or bedroom window, this is not a a factor. While some people like the simplistic look of our tailored swags to have the length not go beyond the window sill, others create an fantastic country look with our ruffled swag curtains by letting them hang a little beyond the window sill by a few inches. Its all based on the look you are attempting to achieve.
CUSTOM LENGTHS - Do you find that you may be in need of an odd size (in between industry standard sizes) or have unique look you are trying to achieve ? Lucky for you Window Toppers is one of the only places you can have the length of most curtains CUSTOMIZED TO YOUR DESIRED LENGTH FREE OF CHARGE ! See our Order Custom Length Curtains page for info.
Measuring The Width Needed:
"Finished Width" - Definition = The Finished Width of a curtain or window treatment is the "overall" width measurement of the item laying flat, not installed / or hanging on the rod.
This is the measurement you see advertised in the product name of each product in our web site.
This finished width measurement is not the actual size/width of a window that it will accommodate, but rather the overall measurement of the item / product laying flat before placing it on a curtain rod.
On most curtains & window treatments, it takes one and a half to three times more material/curtain to provide the proper fullness in appearance when installed/hanging on rod than the actual window width.
To help guide your selection, we provide information in the description of each and every product as to "what size window each curtain / window treatment will accommodate", along with additional help and size information when you click on the MEASUREMENTS & SIZE HELP tab on any product page. (see image below)
For more information on figuring out what width curtain or window treatment you might need, please read the information below...
With the empty curtain rod hanging in window, measure the width of the rod from left to right.
A common rule for displaying curtains (excludes drapes) properly is the curtains finished width should be at least 1 1/2 - 3 times the width of your window to achieve a look of proper fullness in appearance.
Example: If your window measures 40" wide ( window width x 1.5 = minimum width needed / x 3 = maximum width needed), you should need a curtain ( or curtain set/pair) with a width between 60" - 120 wide to properly cover your windows width, and achieve it's proper appearance.
A few inches narrower or wider should not make a difference.
Pinch Pleated Drapes / Patio Door Drapes
This style of window treatment does not get gathered on a curtain rod (no rod pocket), so the width of your window or patio door / or drapery rod is approximately the width size you would need. With patio doors (sliding glass doors), a little extra width may be needed beyond the actual width of the door frame. With traverse rods (open & close with draw string) you would want the drapery panel or panels to pull completely off to the side to allow for use of the door without the drape interfering with the function of the door.
One important note about how the finished width of drapes is measured. The finished with of drapes is measured across the top of the drape, where the pinch pleated heading is located. The width measurement across the top of the drape is different (less) than the width of the bottom of the drape due to the fact that fabric is gathered and sewn into place when creating the pinch pleats in the heading. Example - when you order a pair of 72 inch wide drapes, these consist of two drapery panels measuring 36 inches wide each. A 96 inch wide Patio Door Drapery Panel on the other hand, consists of one drapery panel measuring 96 inches wide.
If you have a drapery rod already installed on your window or patio door, measuring the length from the rod down to approximately where you would like them to hang will give you the estimated length needed.
Measuring for Door Curtains - (door panels curtains)
*Measuring the length needed on Door Panels is done from the top stitch line of the top rod pocket to the bottom stitch line of the bottom rod pocket.
The length of Door Panels which we sell are measured in this manner - from rod pocket to rod pocket.
Example; Our Style# 8420 "Kerry" 40" wide x 63" long Tailored Door Panel. If you select a 63 inch length for the size it measures 63 inches from "rod pocket - to - rod pocket".
If you are measuring rods already installed on a door, the measurement from rod-to-rod is the length you will need.
You can also adjust where the rods are mounted to accommodate Door Panels you are going to buy.
Each 40" wide Door Panel can accommodate approximately 15" - 20" of window width. Most normal width doors require only one or two Door Panels per door window (depending on width). French Doors (Double Door set-up) would require two Door Panels, one for each side.
Measuring for Scarf Valance Window Treatments:
Deciding on the length you might need for a Scarf Valance is a judgement call on the customers behalf, because everyone has their own personal taste on how they like to display them.
That is the strongest feature of choosing to decorate your window with a Scarf valance curtain - it's versatility. If you look at the many different styles of Scarf Valances curtains in our site, you will see that many of them are displayed in different ways.
Please read the following information for assistance.
Scarves can be adjusted by hand to accommodate a wide variety of window sizes. Everyone has a different idea as a matter of personal preference on how they like to have Scarf's displayed.
Here is a basic formula for helping you estimate what size you may need.
Length of Window x 2 = ______+ width of window ______ = estimate of scarf length needed.
(Example: if the length is 63" and the width is 32", 63" x 2 {=126"}+ 32" = 158").
This would be the longest possible length you may need - if you would like your scarf to hang down to the bottom of your window sill.
Many people like them to hang down to the floor.
We do not make a 158" Long Scarf (nobody does), and would recommend a 4 YARD - 144" Long Scarf for this window.
At 144" Long, this Scarf would hang down to approximately 7" above the window sill on both sides.
We make scarves in these three lengths... You can be the judge of what length you will need.
The lengths are 108" (3 yard), 144" (4 yard), and 216" (6 Yard).
If you would like to phone us at # 1-800-549-8289 or email us at email@example.com and tell us the size of your window and what style and item you might be interested in, we can help guide you by telling what size we would recommend.

How do you know if your advertising actually works? This question is marketing's Holy Grail and attempts to answer it have led to decades of self-promotional spin, snake oil salesmanship, mythmaking, quasi-scientific formulae, squillions spent on research and planning, snappy sloganeering, The Gruen Transfer, and the stroking of monumental egos and the launching of rock-star style careers. Until recently it was a given in the creative world that the question was too complicated to bother with; the hunch being that fabled US department store owner John Wanamaker was correct when he complained that "half the money I spend on advertising is wasted, the trouble is I don't know which half".
To the creative mind, the variables involved in distribution, price-setting, timing, competitive products, quality, packaging, media spend and sheer luck are so immense that attempting to attribute the lack of financial returns to creativity is futile. Unless of course the campaign is a runaway success, in which case it's all down to the idea.
From 2000 I spent three years as chairman of the Australasian Writers and Art Directors Association (AWARD), the industry body tasked with promoting creativity. It was clear that we couldn't successfully market quality creativity to the (dis)interested parties (clients, suits, etc) without a clear-cut demonstration of creativity's effectiveness. (Don't even start to try and fathom who or what determines what is a genuinely "creative" campaign – that way lies demons!) After much anguish, we set up a program called AWARD Pencil Cases, in which a creative director and a client would jointly present an effectiveness study of what was deemed to be a quality creative campaign by virtue of having picked up a few awards. "Aha!" I hear you ask, "which awards?" Very good question, to which the only answer is "the ones we won."
Around the same time, Donald Gunn, Leo Burnett's director of creative resources worldwide, conducted a study on creativity and effectiveness called Do Award-Winning Commercials Sell? His conclusion, which creative directors the world over leapt on with glee, was that "commercials with award-winning qualities are 2½ times more likely, versus commercials on average, to be associated with marketplace success".
Er, if you say so, Don.
Gunn wisely decided thereafter to focus purely on who won the most number of awards, irrespective of how effective that work may have been. In 1999 he launched The Gunn Report, an annual indexation of advertising creativity based on aggregating success at awards shows. (Which particular shows, and what each is worth, he never reveals.)
Not to be outdone, a couple of years ago Cannes – hitherto home of unabashed creativity for the sake of creativity – decided to have a crack at rewarding "effectiveness". Thus was launched the Cannes creative effectiveness award. Determined not to fall into the same trap that we at AWARD and Donald Gunn had fallen into, Cannes cannily decided that you could only win an effectiveness award if you'd already won a creative award – at Cannes! (Damn I wish I'd thought of that – I'd still be chairman of AWARD if I had.)
Once you've picked up your Lion in the plethora of creative categories during a languid week on the Cote d'Azur, you then get to submit the exact same work the following year in the creative effectiveness category; only this time you have to provide data to show the ad actually worked. Genius! Another round of entry fees from the same idea.
Last week seven creative effectiveness Lions were awarded worldwide; astonishingly three of them from Australia, including the grand prix for McCann Melbourne's V-trains Guilt Trip idea (a campaign I selected as my chairman's pick two years ago at the Melbourne Art Directors Club awards even though the jury ignored it). DDB scored for their "Maccas" rebranding campaign and Havas picked up for "Fair Go bro" for Virgin mobile.
Says Anthony Gregorio, CEO of Havas: "Creative thinking is the last legal way to get an advantage in business; if you've got $5 million to spend and your competitor's got $5 million to spend – even with all the media tools, algorithms and so on – guess what? The guy with quality creative thinking wins."
Indeed, Havas's campaign, in which the hitherto unknown brother of Brad Pitt was feted as a superstar, saw a remarkable reduction of churn and increase in acquisitions in that volatile market.
But the introduction of a bespoke creative effectiveness award at Cannes begs une petite question. If creativity per se is the path to increased effectiveness, surely there's no need for such an award?

Cutting blade for F6, F12 (6-3)
Mighty Felco pruners seem indestructible, but year after year of hard use and repeated sharpening eventually wears down even the hardest steel blade. If your blade is chipped or cracked, your pruners no longer close all the way to the tip or you can hardly tell that there was a wire-notch at the back of the blade, then it is time for a replacement blade. You won't believe the difference it makes. Made in Switzerland.

It appears that Bruce Wayne's father has been revealed for the Batman v Superman movie, after one of the last scenes for the Zack Snyder production was filmed in the streets of Chicago last week.
We also learned that the iconic scene, in which Bruce Wayne's parents are murdered outside the movie theater, will be included in Batman v Superman. Many eyewitnesses saw the troubling episode being shot with IMAX cameras by Snyder and his crew.
Several photos were posted to Twitter, and they included vintage cars to make the scene in which Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) tragically loses his parents perfect. They also include the Waynes walking down the street with their son just before an assassin takes their lives.

Check out this Instagram account for more Batman v Superman set photos and videos showing the murder of Bruce Wayne's parents.
Many observers believe director Zack Snyder will follow what he did with Superman (Henry Cavill) in Man of Steel and tell the origins story of Batman and why he became the Dark Knight. Showing his parents' brutal murder, which took place right in front of young Bruce's eyes, explains the motivations behind Batman's actions.
Now, as to who will play the role of Thomas Wayne, the rumor is that the part has gone to actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan. You may remember that back in August, when the Batman v Superman movie was in its infancy, there was a photo posted on Twitter of crew members moving a gigantic portrait that appears to be Bruce's father, which was reported by the Inquisitr.
Unofficial reports suggest that Thomas Wayne will be played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan in '#BATMANvSUPERMAN'. #DCComics pic.twitter.com/IunqK9guRP
— Superhero Slate (@SuperheroSlate) November 15, 2014
At the time, Morgan's name was floating around, but then the rumors died down and not much else was said about the character until last week. Do you think the man walking down the street during filming of the Batman v Superman movie was Jeffrey Dean Morgan?

Mowgli's Pathfinder RPG Repository
Goliaths are massive creatures unafraid of throwing their weight around in a fight. Highly competitive, these strong nomads can prove to be powerful allies and welcome additions to any adventuring party.
Goliaths are known for their almost foolhardy daring. In their mountain homes, they leap from precipice to precipice, heedless of the fatal consequences of a misstep. They place great stock in clan and family; life in the mountains teaches even the youngest Goliath to rely completely on his fellows for a hand across a crevasse.
Because most Goliaths are hunter-gatherers, they tend to be inquisitive, always curious about whether better hunting lies over the next ridge or a good water source can be found in the next canyon.
Goliaths are completely unsympathetic toward tribe members who can't contribute to the well-being of the tribe anymore – an attitude reinforced by social structures. Old, sick, and otherwise infirm Goliaths are exiled from their clans, never to return.
Physical Description:
A typical Goliath is larger than the largest half-orc. Most stand between 7 and 8 feet tall and weigh between 280 and 340 pounds. Unlike with most other races, there is no appreciable difference in height or weight between male and female Goliaths.
Goliaths have gray skin, mottled with dark and light patches that Goliath shamans say hint at a particular Goliath's fate. Lithoderms—coin-sized bone-and-skin growths as hard as pebbles—speckle their arms, shoulders, and torso. Their skulls have a jutting eyebrow ridge, wide jaw, and occasional lithoderms as well. Female Goliaths have dark hair on their heads, grown to great length and always kept braided. Male Goliaths generally have hair only on their limbs. Goliaths' eyes are a brilliant blue or green, and they often seem to glow a little from underneath their furrowed brows.
Because their skin mottling has cultural significance, Goliaths generally dress as lightly as possible, displaying their skin patterns for all to see. For the same reason, few Goliaths would willingly get a tattoo – to draw on one's skin is tantamount to trying to rewrite one's fate. Goliaths instead decorate themselves with jewelry, often sporting ear, nose, or brow rings. A Goliath's lithoderms are also common places to embed a gem or two, since they have few nerve endings and stand out on the Goliath's body already.Goliath Racial Traits
- Ability Modifiers: +2 STR or CON, +2 CHA, -2 DEX: Goliaths are stout, but their bulk sometimes gets in the way when they're trying to be nimble. Their easy-going acceptance of others and their self confidence make their personalities attractive and powerful.
- Speed: Goliath base land speed is 30 feet.
- Medium: As Medium creatures, Goliaths have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size. However, see the powerful build ability description below for more details.
- Monstrous Humanoid: As monstrous humanoids, Goliaths are proficient with all simple weapons, but they have no proficiency with any armor or shield.
- Powerful Build: The physical stature of a Goliath lets him function in many ways as if he were one size category larger. Whenever a Goliath is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the Goliath is treated as one size larger. A Goliath is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature's special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A Goliath can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait do not stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject's size category.
- Mountain Movement: Because Goliaths practically live on the ledges and cliffs of the most forbidding mountains, they are particularly adept at negotiating mountain hazards. Goliaths can make standing long jumps and high jumps as if they were running long jumps and high jumps. A Goliath can engage in accelerated climbing (climbing half his speed as a move action) without taking the –5 penalty on the Climb check.
- Acclimated: Goliaths are automatically acclimated to life at high altitude. They don't take the penalties for altitude described in the Mountain Travel section on page 430 of the Core Rulebook. Unlike other denizens of the mountains, Goliaths don't lose their acclimation to high altitude even if they spend a long time at a lower elevation.
- Sensitive: +2 bonus on Sense Motive checks: When speaking to one another, Goliaths tend to augment their verbal communication with subtle body language. They are likewise able to "read" the unintentional body language of others.
- Automatic Languages: Common and Gol-Kaa. Bonus Languages: Dwarven, Giant, Gnoll, Terran.

Nice Smell, Too Expensive.I like this perfume. It smells nice and is long lasting. I like that its not too overwhelming. I just don't really wear much perfume, and I personally think this is ridiculously expensive, but most perfume is way overpriced in my opinion. If I were really into perfumes, I would consider buying this one, but its just not really my thing. I tend to just use scented deoderant and lotions and people always say I smell good:) — 3 years, 7 months agoposhinprogress | 181 reviews
AwesomeThis perfume is the cleanest smelling fragrance, not too sweet, not too overpowering. Once it dries it has a gentle lingering aroma that makes the wearer feel pretty all day. It is not too floral, has just the right amount of crispness, and will not offend sensitive noses nor make people sorry you've entered the room if you are wearing it. Women often love fragrances that men can't stand, but this...read more one is different. This one is so appealing, even people who don't like perfumes won't mind being near you if you put this on in the morning. Such a wonderful fragrance. — 4 years, 2 months agoCirbii | 67 reviews

Interim President Joseph Alutto said he considers the construction on Ohio State's campus to be "one of the wonderful tensions in life."
"You can't improve facilities that are available to you as students unless you have construction, so that means some students, some faculty and some staff are going to have to live through the construction period, and the beneficiaries then are not going to be the people who live through the construction period but the ones who come after, and that's just life," Alutto said in a Feb. 11 interview with The Lantern.
The inevitable process Alutto spoke of, however, has left some students dissatisfied.
Sarah Kasper, a second-year in speech and hearing science and resident of Haverfield House, said living on North Campus during "the construction period" has been frustrating and has made her partially regret her decision to live on campus for a second year.
Kasper's solution: offer a stipend for students who have to deal with the construction.
"I don't think it's fair for North and South Campus students to be paying for the same amount of money while North Campus students are living in a construction zone," she said.
There are currently eight construction projects taking place on OSU's campus, one being the $370 million North Residential District Transformation, which aims to construct 11 new buildings on North Campus, according to the campus construction map on OSU's website.
North Campus isn't the only area to see recent construction, as the $171 million South Campus High Rise Renovation and Addition Project, which renovated several South Campus residence halls, was completed at the beginning of Fall Semester.
"We spend a lot of time now, as we have with the North Residential facility, trying to figure out, how do we phase the construction in such a way that we minimize construction to students?" Alutto said. "Sometimes there's more disruption than you'd like at a particular quadrant of campus, but it's something we spend a lot of time trying to anticipate."
Briana Albert, a second-year in early and middle childhood studies and resident of Nosker House, said OSU "isn't doing a terrible job" of phasing the construction, but improvements could be made.
"They should try to do what they need to do when the majority of students aren't around, such as breaks and weekends," Albert said.
Albert also mentioned the inconvenience of construction fences.
"My friends and I once got stuck inside the fences on a rainy night at 2 a.m. We were returning to our dorm and there was an opening from the fence on High Street, which wasn't supposed to be there since we got trapped between the fences. We had to climb them in order to get out because it was so confusing," she said.
Kasper agreed the fences have been an inconvenience.
"The fencing does prohibit me from getting from point A to point B," she said.
Administration and Planning spokeswoman Lindsay Komlanc said there is about 6,050 feet of construction fence on North Campus, a figure that accounts for the more permanent fencing in the area that will be up through the next academic year.
"It does not include any fencing that might go up for a short time frame to facilitate work outside of the main fencing," she said.
Komlanc said students should be aware of the purpose of the fences.
"When thinking about construction fencing, please understand that the fencing is in place for the safety of the campus community to help clearly mark our construction zone and clearly (mark) safe paths of travel," Komlanc said.
Although the fences are put in place for safety, Kasper said she is frustrated with having to see fences and bulldozers right outside her front door.
Alutto said, though, construction is a good thing.
"If there was no construction going on on this campus, you ought to worry, 'What does it mean?' It's like everything else, you have to keep it in balance … We have segments of campus that are disrupted, but it's all progress," he said.
Alutto also said he is not concerned about the effects of construction on potential students.
"If you were here when we were rebuilding the library, when we were building the Ohio Union, when the RPAC was going up, you think of the years over which that's happened, we recruited some (current OSU students) during that period, and (they) came here because of the nature of this university and the commitment we have to continue to grow, so I'm not worried about it," he said.

On ground level the open living room with fire place, the dining area and the impressive kitchen of olive wood have view to the pool area, which is very private and offers solutions for all weather types.
On the first floor there are 2 bedrooms sharing a stylish bathroom.
On basement level there is a totally independent apartment, with its own kitchen and bathroom, comfortable and decorated with eye for detail. The pool area is the master piece. The walled terrace is free and private and the outdoor kitchen provides the possibility to cook lunch.There are sun beds for sunbathing and sitting areas in the shade to shelter from the summer heat.
Skiathos Repos complex consists of two private 'elegant villas'.
Located in Platanias, Agia Paraskevi in Skiathos Island, in a green environment, ideal for family holidays, relaxation and rest.
Welcome at Skiathos Villas Repos: Villa Mystique and Villa Royal.
The prices are not fix!
We loved our stay at Sofia's villa. The villa is beautiful, clean, and a modern Mediterranean-style house. The best features were the awesome pool, outdoor kitchen with BBQ, dining and lounging areas, all shaded and a joy to use. The pool is quite large, shallow on one end and 6ft deep on the other. It is located in a private, country setting, yet easy walk to the beach. Although there's no washer/dryer, Sofia happily provided laundry service for us, in addition to regular maid service.
Our two families (4 adults and 3 children) stayed at this villa in July 2015. We loved it and had a fantastic holiday in Skaithos.
The villa is beautiful and well kept, and the photos on the website are accurate. It is tucked away, with its twin, in a tranquil and private setting just outside of the town and about 1200m inland from the beach. The path to the beach is shaded and easy to walk, and passes several nice restaurants and a grocery store.
The bedrooms are comfortable, and the living area is spacious and perfect for entertaining. We made much happy use of the sparkling swimming pool, and the shaded patio lounge next to it. The kitchen is also well equipped. The villa is meticulously cleaned every second day, and there are plenty of towels available.
The very friendly landlady, Sofia, met us at the airport and immediately made us feel welcome. She was available to answer our every question, and could make a plan with whatever we needed.
Many of the island's sights and stunning beaches are within easy driving range from the villa, and I would recommend getting a rental car.
I loved this villa, and cannot wait to go back there.
Having stayed in a number of Villas in Skiathos over the years we were extremely impressed with the layout, high standard of furnishings and cleanliness of the accommodation. The spacious bedrooms had air conditioning and balconies with views of the mountains. ( except for the basement apartment which was designed for children, sleeping three)The Villa was very well laid out with the outside area connecting superbly with the inside living area. The pool, BBQ area, sun loungers and chill out area were perfectly designed and made for great relaxing days and evenings.
Sofia our host was extremely friendly and accommodating, met us at the airport and arranged car hire. The Villa was cleaned every other day and staff were friendly.
Located off the beaten track which is a pleasant 15 minute walk to the main road and nearest beach at Agia Pareskevi ( with small supermarkets on the way) ( and a Donkey !). The beaches in Skiathos are superb on both sides of the island. If you wish to head into Skiathos Town in the evening it cost around 15 Euros for a taxi back, which is a 15min drive.
We were all more than happy with the overall holiday, Skiathos is a beautiful island, we are already planning next years return. Thank You Sofia, Wendy, Hannah, Duncan and Joe.
We spent almost 10 days in this beautiful villa. The villa is perfect, excellent condition. Exactly as shown in the pictures. we had also the cleaning everyday. the house was pristine. The owner sofia is a charming lady, very kind and friendly, very helpful. I definitively recommend this property for a wonderful vacation in Skiathos! I am already missing this place!!!! Raffaella
Having visited this villa a number of times over the past few years it really is a perfect getaway. The tasteful decoration and furnishings are to a very high standard. I would challenge anyone not to love it here, and the bonus is that Tula keeps it impeccably clean and tidy. To have someone to come every other day and clean during a self-catering holiday really is fantastic.
The outside eating and seating area really is great for evening barbeques, not to mention that the sun shines over the villa and pool side from dawn till dusk.
The villa is perfectly equipped for families, groups of friends and has every kind of serving plate or gadget you could possibly need during your stay.
It is a 10/15 min walk to the main road where the bus runs into Skiathos town or the beaches that scatter the shoreline and it is also the best place to pick up a taxi too (cheaper that the bus if there are a few of you). There are a few parts that get a little dark (should that kind of thing bother you) on the road at night but a small torch can rectify that, i have never experianced any problems but good to be aware of.
I would recommend getting a car, especially for getting around in the day and trips back and forth the supermarket. There are quite a few shops on the road leading to the villa but getting a big shop in from one of the larger stores in near the town is recommended for choice and value - especially if you intend to eat at the villa.
Nothing is too much trouble for Sofia the owner and apart from being a lovely lady she also provides the best customer experience, we have had some great holidays in this villa and make sure we have a week there every year!
I have been reluctant to leave a review as this is my safe haven in Skiathos and feels like my home, but it would be mean to try and keep this place for myself so very happy to recommend as long as its not the same weeks that i go :-) - wouldnt want to miss out on my weeks retreat!
We spent two weeks at the Villa Mystique in Skiathos & we all agree that we had one of the best holidays ever as a family.
The Villa is in pristine condition with a beautiful pool area and outdoor BBQ/entertainment area.
Sofia, our landlady was wonderful and honestly could not do enough for us even organizing a doctor's appointment for one of our children...
The villa is beautifully maintained with cleaning service and fresh towels every other day.
As for Skiathos, it is a wonderful Island with beautiful beaches especially those on the westerly side of the island. The people are so warm & helpful and we hope to return again in the future!
We are very grateful to Sofia & her family for making our family holiday so special.
Only 5 minutes away from the breathtaking Agia Paraskevi Beach you will find Skiathos Repos Villas. Skiathos Repos is pure luxury from top to button and is designed uniquely to fit in with the magnificent green landscape surrounding the 2 Villas; Villa Royal and Villa Majestic.

(CNSNews.com) - The Obama administration says it remains "firmly" opposed to the legalization of marijuana.
In a new drug strategy report released on Tuesday, the White House also said it wants to "strengthen efforts to prevent drug use in communities," even as a growing number of states sanction "medical marijuana" outlets, which have boosted the availability of the drug.
Many hundreds of medical marijuana co-ops and dispensaries are currently operating in communities across the country, selling marijuana to anyone with a doctor's prescription. Various Web sites list the many locations where pot is legally sold.
The proliferation of marijuana dispensaries indicates that demand is strong for such prescriptions and that those prescriptions are easy enough to obtain.
Obama: Medical marijuana not a priority
Two years ago, President Barack Obama described his approach to medical marijuana as "practical" and said he doesn't see any difference between a doctor prescribing morphine or a doctor prescribing marijuana.
Obama, in that April 2008 interview, said he didn't want to spend "a whole lot of political capital on the medical marijuana issue" at a time when he was trying to pass health care legislation and fight two wars. Obama also said he would not use Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on medical marijuana.
Attorney General Eric Holder also has made it clear that medical marijuana is not a priority for his Justice Department.
Visiting California on Tuesday, Holder said the Obama administration would leave medical marijuana suppliers alone as long as they comply with state law. The focus should be on the cartels that bring marijuana into the country, the San Francisco Chronicle quoted Holder as saying.
As for a Nov. 2 ballot to legalize marijuana for recreational use in California, Holder told the newspaper on Tuesday, "I'm not sure that legalization, quite frankly, is necessarily the way to go."
White House releases new drug control strategy
Obama's and Holder's comments on marijuana contrast with the views laid out in the administration's National Drug Control Strategy for 2010, released Tuesday by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
"The number-one cause of the drug problem in the United States is our enormous demand for drugs," the 126-page report says. "Keeping drugs illegal reduces their availability and lessens willingness to use them. That is why this Administration firmly opposes the legalization of marijuana or any other illicit drug. Legalizing drugs would increase accessibility and encourage promotion and acceptance of use."
The White House drug strategy report does not address medical marijuana, but it does note that various studies "clearly indicate that marijuana use is associated with dependence, respiratory and mental illness, poor motor performance, and cognitive impairment, among other negative effects, and legalization would only exacerbate these problems."
Further, the report notes that marijuana -- a first-time drug for many young people -- is "largely produced in the United States," in addition to the "metric-ton quantities" that come in through Mexico and Canada.
"Initiatives to reduce the availability of drugs cannot be focused solely on other nations," the report says. There must be more of a "domestic focus, including community-oriented policing and innovative enforcement methods that eliminate street drug-dealing networks." (Holder, as noted above, said on Tuesday the focus should be on cartels that bring marijuana into the country.)
Last October, Holder directed federal prosecutors not to go after individual pot users who are abiding by state laws on medical marijuana.
"It will not be a priority to use federal resources to prosecute patients with serious illnesses or their caregivers who are complying with state laws on medical marijuana, but we will not tolerate drug traffickers who hide behind claims of compliance with state law to mask activities that are clearly illegal," Holder said.
To date, 14 states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws legalizing medical marijuana. Other states are considering such laws.
Public lands, national parks, Indian reservations
The White House drug strategy aims to "eliminate" marijuana cultivation on public lands by developing the "technical capacity" to locate the fields as well as the "air-lift capability" to reach the fields, which are often hidden in forests and other remote areas.
The report released on Tuesday specifically says that drug trafficking organizations, especially those based in Mexico, are exploiting public lands and Indian reservations (particularly those in the Pacific Northwest) for marijuana cultivation.
"Often, these marijuana fields are guarded 24 hours a day by armed criminals and sometimes protected by booby traps, thereby posing a significant threat to public safety," the report says. "In addition, significant environmental damage results from marijuana cultivators camping for extensive periods in pristine public lands and using fertilizers and other chemicals."
The report says federal, state and local law enforcement agencies have eradicated record numbers of marijuana plants for each of the past five years. "Due to this success, many cultivators have been forced to abandon large, outdoor cannabis plots in favor of smaller, better concealed gardens and indoor cultivation."
The report identifies California, Hawaii, Kentucky, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington, and West Virginia as the top seven states for marijuana cultivation.
"Gangs play a major role in distributing drugs and other contraband throughout the country," the White House drug strategy report said.
It notes that Mexican drug-trafficking organizations use street and prison gangs to help distribute illegal drugs and "return the illicit proceeds" of the drug trade.
"This trade imposes enormous negative consequences on the safety, health, and security of our citizens," the report says. "Drug trafficking and related violence, crime, and corruption clearly constitute a significant national security threat."
The report says tribal communities "are faced with an increase in gangs engaged in the drug trade," and it describes tribal land as "threatened territory" that is "highly susceptible to exploitation and increasingly damaged by the drug-trafficking business."
Attorney General Holder was in California Tuesday to discuss anti-gang efforts. He stressed a "creative" approach to combating gang violence, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
"We don't want to get tough on crime, we want to get smart on crime, and that necessarily means building relationships and building trust between law enforcement and the communities that law enforcement is supposed to serve," press reports quoted Holder as saying.

This is just a review of the person who is reading this book. The reading is so bad, I don`t know where to begin. It almost sound computerized, plus he reads too fast, as if it is a technical manual. When Dallas Willard reads his own books, he reads with heart and soul, because he lives what he talks about and that makes a tremendous difference in a book like this. If I had known Dallas Willard was not reading it, I would not have bought it, it is really that bad.

Despite report, Cheney says war was justified
Published 10:00 pm, Friday, January 9, 2004
WASHINGTON -- Vice President Dick Cheney defended the Bush administration's decision to go to war in Iraq as "perfectly justified," despite a scathing new report that cast doubt on many of the administration's pre-war claims.
In an interview in advance of a fund-raising trip to Denver on Monday, Cheney told the Rocky Mountain News that he stands behind a national intelligence estimate used to justify the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, and that documents found in Baghdad since then support suspicions that the former Iraqi regime had terrorist ties.
"I think we were perfectly justified in doing what we did," Cheney said. "I think the American people support it overwhelmingly. And I don't have any qualms at all about the decisions that were made."
Cheney's comments came a day after the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace released a report claiming that the Bush administration misrepresented the threat of Iraq's alleged chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs and the suspected terrorism connection.
In response to the report Thursday, Secretary of State Colin Powell defended his pre-war presentation to the United Nations, but conceded he had not seen "smoking-gun, concrete evidence" of a link between the former Iraqi regime and terrorist organizations.
In yesterday's interview, Cheney said there was new evidence in documents found in Baghdad concerning Abdul Rahman Yasin, a suspect in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York. Yasin was questioned by the FBI following that earlier attack on the twin towers, but he was released and fled to Iraq. The Iraqi government long maintained that it had imprisoned him in 1994, and CBS conducted a jailhouse interview in 2002. But Cheney said new documents suggest a more sinister link.
"We now know based on documents that we've captured since we took Baghdad that they put him on the payroll, gave him a monthly stipend and provided him with a house, sanctuary, in effect, in Iraq in the aftermath of ... the '93 attack on the World Trade Center," Cheney said.
Cheney still has plenty of skeptics among those who study global terrorism.
"While there may be indications that Abdul Rahman Yasin may have worked for the fallen Iraqi regime, evidence significantly linking al-Qaida to Saddam Hussein still remains unconvincing," said Rita Katz, director of The Search for International Terrorist Entities (SITE) Institute, a Washington research group.
Despite persistent criticism about pre-war claims and the coalition's failure to find major stashes of chemical or biological weapons, Cheney said the intelligence reports about weapons of mass destruction left the Bush administration little choice.
"Based on that, there wasn't any way the administration could ignore those findings of the intelligence community in terms of thinking about the threat that Saddam Hussein represented," he said.

It was a strange and interesting week to look back on for the CNSNews.com Best of The Week.
On Monday the General Services Administration (GSA) announced the award of a contract to buy some mechanical bulls, but a few days after a story on the contract was published - a cancellation notice was made. A spokesman for the Utah National Guard which solicited the mechanical bulls says, there were glitches in the ordering process so no contract was actually ever drawn up. He calls the publication of the contract "a series of unfortunate events."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has closed his own Senate offices after having apparently determined that the staff he ordinarily uses to run them are "non-essential" government employees. To inform people his office is closed, there is a phone voice message informing people that his staff will not be returning calls or emails.
It's not only Sen. Reid's office phones not being answered. When asked by CNSNews.com whether he has read all 10,535 pages of final Obamacare regulations published so far in the Federal Register, Reid would not answer.
Who's To Blame For The Shutdown? That was the question MRCTV asked of D.C. tourists. The answers may surprise you.
House Republicans say they'll go for a temporary extension of the debt ceiling in exchange for President Obama and Democrats to talk about the nation's pressing problems.
What about reopening the government if the president doesn't do anything about Obamacare?
"If ands and buts were candy and nuts, every day would be Christmas," Boehner says.

Chang apologises over drugs test

Taiwan baseball player Chang Tai-shan, who failed a pre-Olympics drugs test, has blamed fertility medication.
Chang told an International Baseball Federation (IBAF) hearing that he began taking the medication in 2007 to try and cure his infertility.
Taiwan's Olympic Committee delegation said in a statement that Chang had expressed his regret over the matter.
"It has hurt his personal image and the reputation of the (Taiwan) team and he deeply apologises," it said.
The IBAF has asked the player to report back to them with a complete medical history as soon as possible, it added.
Baseball is Taiwan's most popular sport and offers one of its few chances at winning an Olympic medal.
But the team has lost three of its four games so far, including a defeat on Friday to lowly-ranked China that caused shock among fans in Taiwan.

|reviewer: Martin from Montevideo, Montevideo, Uruguay
|This has been the first time for me to go to a Broadway show...I must say, it was quite STUPENDOUS...actually I left the theatre humming the songs, with a light in my heart that was lit at the start of the show when the curtains opened and grew brighter and brighter every single second the play lasted...All I have left to say, is that my heart grew three sizes the day I saw Mary Poppins at the New Amsterdam theatre...SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS

Disney Magic Strikes Again,
|reviewer: Kathy G. from New York, NY
|It was just my husband and I - no children were involved - yet we couldn't have enjoyed this show more.
Although it was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, my husband had never seen it so he had no emotional attachments going in. And though it strayed a bit from the movie version, neither of us were disappointed in this spectacular production.
Mary Poppins, Bert and cast brought the house down on more than one occassion. The scenery was magnificent, the score was sensational and the show itself could not have been more uplifting and delightful. We laughed, we cried and we loved every minute of it. We highly recommend this terrific Broadway experience.
It was truly SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPEALIDOCIOUS!!!!

Mass emails are flying to inspire opposition to those related bills in the Assembly and Senate that would alter the special-education placement process.
The bills, which we've written about a few times, would make it faster and easier for parents to get their children placed in private schools at taxpayer expense. This is important to members of Hasidic and other Orthodox Jewish communities who would like their children with disabilities to be educated in religious school.s
Groups that advocate for public education are aggressively opposing the bills, as they did last year when a somewhat different bill was vetoed by Gov. Cuomo.
We've heard and read several interpretations of what the current bills would do. Part of the reason is that the bills have been revised several times.
We spoke earlier this afternoon with Jay Worona, general counsel to the NYS School Boards Association, the go-to guy for lots of groups this week trying to get a handle on the legislation.
He said that as things currently stand, the real issue is this: The legislation would require school districts to reimburse parents for expensive private-school tuition earlier in the appeals process when the district and parents disagree on a placement.
When a parent disagrees with a district's placement decision, the first step is to go before an impartial hearing. The losing party can then appeal to a state review officer. Then the losing party can appeal to federal court, first to a district court, then to the Court of Appeals, 2nd Circuit.
Right now, Worona said, a district can't be forced to reimburse tuition payments until the appeals process is concluded. Under the legislation, tuition reimbursement would start if a state review officer agreed with the parent's placement choice. This would likely mean more "defeats" for districts, resulting in big-money tuition payments.
"What this bill is doing is triggering entitlement for the placements that parents want a lot earlier in the scheme," Worona said.
There could be action on the Senate bill soon.

Singapore has aspirations to become the world's first "smart nation" and extended a $200 million fund to U.S. startups earlier this month. The fund, managed by Infocomm Investments, the venture capital arm of the Singaporean Government's Infocomm Development Authority (IDA), was previously restricted to Singaporean companies and citizens.
The country hopes the move will attract U.S. startups to Singapore to help accelerate its Smart Nation initiative and develop new, sustainable and viable solutions that will improve all aspects of Singaporean society and meet public needs.
The goal of the Smart Nation initiative is to get the entire country connected — everyone, everything, and everywhere, all the time — and to benefit from the data collected from that effort.
What's In It For U.S. Startups?
The extension of the IDA fund to U.S. startups means such startups now have an alternative to traditional funding sources and an opportunity to base themselves in Singapore and tackle the fast growing, emerging markets of Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and China.
Startups who operate in the space of the sharing economy, wearable technology, augmented reality, touch interfaces, mobile, data collection, and analytics are best positioned to qualify for funding and help deliver on the objectives of the Smart Nation campaign.
Singapore's Tech Aspirations
Singapore has been trying to position itself as Asia's answer to Silicon Valley. With vast reserves of venture capital available, a supportive regulatory framework, and a government that isn't afraid to invest in tech startups, best demonstrated by the opening of Block 71 in San Francisco earlier this month, Singapore is a nation hell bent on becoming the smartest in the world.
The venture capital industry in Singapore is among the largest in the world, particularly when you consider its per capita numbers. Singapore has a population a little over 5 million with over US$1.7 billion-worth of venture capital invested in 2012/13. (Australia, by comparison, with its population of 23 million, invested only US$110 million during the same period.).
The tiny country that turns 50 this year sits seventh on WIPO's Global Innovation Index.

Notre Dame is rolling — right into the history books.
For the first time in 37 years, the Fighting Irish are headed to the Elite Eight after knocking off NCAA Tournament darling Wichita State 91-70.
Led by sophomore guard Demetrius Jackson's 20 points and senior forward Pat Connaughton's 16 points and 10 rebounds, three-seed Notre Dame downed the Shockers at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio on Thursday night.
"We really do a great job sharing the ball, finding a great shot every possession," said Jackson postgame. "The guys step up and make huge shots. It's a really fun way to play when we play the game that way so we want to continue doing that and continue getting better."
In a total-team effort, Notre Dame (32-5) proved to be too much for gritty seventh-seeded Wichita State (30-5). The sharpshooting Irish drilled an astounding 75 percent of their shots in the second half (18-of-24).
After winning 11 of their last 12 games, the Shockers found themselves down by as many as 13 in the first half; however, the Shockers responded with a 15-5 run of their own, cutting the Irish lead to 33-30 going into the intermission.
Wichita State junior guard Fred VanVleet's game-high 25 points and senior forward Darius Carter's 20 were not enough to allow the Shockers to escape with a victory.
The nation's most efficient offense in Notre Dame is now 26-2 when leading at halftime and 19-0 when scoring 80 points in a game.
"That was reminiscent of a lot of games we've been in, second halfs, it kind of reminded me of the North Carolina game in the ACC championship, we take the lead, call timeout, not a lot of drama, not a lot of strategy, and we come out of that with a great will, continue to defend and then we got into one of our offensive rhythms that nobody else in the country can do," said Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey.
A mentality shift at halftime proved to be the difference for the Fighting Irish, who scored 40 points in the second half.
Senior guard Jerian Grant added nine points and 11 assists of his own while advancing to the regional final. The Wooden Award and Naismith Trophy finalist has played every minute of Notre Dame's NCAA tournament run this season.
"Just figuring how they were playing me, it took longer than I would have liked but once I figured out how they were guarding the ball screens and denying me up top, we really got into a rhythm to play our game," said Grant about his team's second half success.
In critical moments late in the second half, Connaughton hit a 3-pointer from the corner and sophomore guard Steve Vasturia made a 3-point jumper of his own moments later to seal the victory, stretching Notre Dame's lead from 11 to 17, 73-56, with 5:18 remining.
The Irish made nine 3-pointers, with Jackson drilling 4-of-5 from downtown.
"Extremely important," said Connaughton of what that stretch meant to the outcome of the game. "We always talk about not being satisfied, whether it's with a win or whether it's just a possession in general.
"For us to not be satisfied with an 11 point lead because there was so much time left, they're a fabulous team and they make runs and they can score in bunches just like us. We want to make sure that we continue to play our game, and when you have an open shot, you know with these two guys to my left and right, they're the best at finding you and getting you open shots so you just have to step up and knock them down."
Connaughton, a pitcher in the Baltimore Orioles minor league system has now played 138 games for the Fighting Irish, setting a school record.
Notre Dame defeated Northeastern and Butler by a combined seven points during the opening weekend of the tournament, where expectations have been high for Coach Brey's team, even coming off a 15-17 season last year.
The 2014-15 ACC champion Fight Irish will play perennial favorite and unbeaten Kentucky on Saturday night in the regional final.
To beat the powerhouse – a consensus choice as one of the best college teams ever – and move onto their first Final Four appearance since 1978, Brey says he will continue to do what he has done throughout the season.
"One of the biggest qualities is do not overcoach your team when they're rolling. Don't call out too many — let them figure it out. This nucleus really knows how to play on the offensive end."

History of Faridabad
Faridabad, one of the industrial hubs of Haryana, lies to the south of the Indian capital, New Delhi and to the east of the cosmopolitan hub, Gurgaon. Together with Gurgaon, it accounts for 50% of Haryana's total income tax. The history of Faridabad as an industrial town goes back to the days of the Partition. An industrial development was started here by the government in 1950 to support the refugees who came from Pakistan. Today, the city is responsible for a wide range of industrial products such as refrigerators, tractors, shoes, switch gears, etc.
People and Culture of Faridabad
But Faridabad is not about industries alone. It has its share of tourist attractions in the form of Badhkal Lake, Baba Farid Tomb and Raja Nahar Singh Palace. Faridabad derives its name from Sheikh Farid, or Baba Farid as he is popularly known. He founded the city in 1607 AD in order to protect the highway which passed through it. He is credited with building the Farid Tomb here. The largest city of Haryana, Faridabad is situated on the plains of the river Yamuna and guarded by the Aravalli Hills on the western and south-western side. It is well connected to the city of Delhi by regular trains and buses. Apart from being the economic hub of Haryana, it also generates its fair share of tourism every year in the month of February during the Suraj Kund Mela.
Things To Do in Faridabad
The Suraj Kund Mela is a crafts fair held near the Suraj Kund Lake and is a platform that showcases the rich collection of arts and crafts items from different states of the country. Faridabad's food scene is as vibrant as its locals. Tourists should try the street food of the city that reflects the city's character. Here, travellers can head to the local market in Sector 5 and have some chilled lassi. Tourists can also head to the Sector 15 market and enjoy chaats like pani puri and aaloo tikki. Also, Faridabad is a major production centre of Henna. Tourists must buy some mehendi powder before heading out of the city. Ghaziabad's proximity to Delhi, the rapid modernisation in recent years and the existing industries make Faridabad one of the most important areas of Haryana, and one of the most developed districts of the state along with Gurgaon.
Faridabad is one of the weekend getaway options for travelers living in Jaipur.

"NCR Town of New Delhi- Affordable compared to Delhi"
- Posted 3 weeks ago
If you are visiting Delhi, during February than you should visit Faridabad for Surajkund fair at Surajkund. If you stay at Faridabad you will find hotels and restaurants more affordable comparable to Delhi. Also you will get taste of Haryana culture. One should visit SurajKund, Baikal Lake (though it has dried up) and Various mall lined up on Mathura Road, which are quite cheaper for shopping compared to Delhi. It is well connected by Bus route, Railways and Metro. Nearest Airport (Delhi) is 45 Kilometers. It is bordertown of Delhi and very easily approachable from south Delhi.

I thank the guy and also gave him reward but he refused to take reward. He said it was his duty and said come and visit the place again.

A place so close by to the capital and yet away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Tranquil surroundings with plenty of greenery and open spaces. Clean air and semi hilly terrain of the aravalis.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Lot of good places to eat - ranging from the rustic Dhabas to 5 star hotels and lot of open air restaurants to chose from. Lots of lakes spread around to spend the day of picnic. The annual Surajkund Mela is a must see. Lots of forts nearby.
Activities & things to do: Leisure stay and explore the surroundings
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Stones throw from Delhi (Badarpur Border) easily accessible through Mathura road.
