Milites Templi (Latin for "Soldiers of the Temple") is a papal bull issued by Pope Celestine II in 1144 that ordered the clergy to protect the Knights Templar and encouraged the faithful to contribute to their cause. It allowed the Templars to make their own collections once a year, even in areas under interdict.
This is one of the most important papal bulls relating to the Temple, and together with Omne Datum Optimum (1139) and Militia Dei (1145) forms the foundation for the Order's future wealth and success.

The term of the special state grand jury that indicted former Louisiana health chief Bruce Greenstein on perjury charges in September has expired, but the probe into the award of a lucrative Medicaid claims processing contract to his ex-employer in 2011 is ongoing, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Assistant State Attorney General David Caldwell said the investigation can continue into 2015 without running into legal time limitations on bringing further action.
"It's sooner rather than later," he said of the deadline.
Caldwell's comments came outside state District Judge Lou Daniel's courtroom shortly after he turned over scores of documents to Greenstein's attorneys during a brief hearing in the criminal case.
"We just have to take time and go through all these emails," John McLindon, one of Greenstein's lawyers, said of new documents now in the hands of the defense.
"We still don't think a crime has been committed, and we haven't seen anything to change our mind," added Brent Stockstill, who also represents Greenstein.
Caldwell said he could empanel a new grand jury or use one already in session on other matters as the case continues. Prosecutors also have the option of filing charges on their own, he said.
"We expect more investigation," Caldwell said when asked outside the courtroom if more charges could be expected in the case.
Greenstein, who lives in Seattle, did not attend Tuesday's court proceeding. McLindon said Greenstein is "holding up fine."
The next hearing is set for March 19.
Greenstein, 45, pleaded not guilty last month to nine perjury counts that accuse him of lying during sworn testimony before a state Senate confirmation hearing in June 2011 and before the grand jury last June. He resigned in April 2013.
The alleged perjury related to testimony he gave about contacts with his former employer, Client Network Services Inc. Greenstein was a CNSI vice president from 2005 to 2006.
The nearly $200 million Medicaid claims contract awarded to Maryland-based CNSI was abruptly canceled by the state in 2013. The state alleges then state health secretary Greenstein had improper contact with his former employer throughout the bid and award process. Greenstein acknowledged minor contact.
Records indicated steady communication between Greenstein and CNSI executive Creighton Carroll, but McLindon has said the two men are friends and a vast majority of the communications were personal.
CNSI is suing the state, claiming wrongful termination of its contract.

This application is a continuation of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/551,118, entitled SEMANTIC RECONSTRUCTION filed on Aug. 31, 2009, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/407,448, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,603,351, entitled SEMANTIC RECONSTRUCTION filed Apr. 19, 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
Often electronic content data do not consistently adhere to one standard on format, organization, and use in consistent software. For example, each individual content data creator may choose to save electronic content data in various formats. This heterogeneous nature of the electronic content data can pose challenges when various content need to be extracted, edited, re-purposed, re-styled, searched, combined, transformed, rendered or otherwise processed. Content may be encoded at an inconsistent and/or inappropriate semantic level. In some cases, a PDF (Portable Document Format) document is generated from a virtual printer driver and includes geometrical properties of content elements, e.g., a vector graphic, bitmap, or other description of such content elements, but does not include higher-level semantic structure. For example in a document containing text, text flow of lines in the same horizontal position of two separate columns can be incorrectly flowed together as a single line. This causes extraction of a single column, e.g., to "copy" and "paste" to another document a paragraph in a particular column, to be difficult. In some cases when converting the format of the content, many standard tools for format conversion operate in a manner that can potentially cause semantic information needed to perform desired processing, for example, to be lost. Therefore, there exists a need for a better way to reconstruct semantics of content.
Various embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings.
The invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as a process, an apparatus, a system, a composition of matter, a computer readable medium such as a computer readable storage medium or a computer network wherein program instructions are sent over optical or electronic communication links. In this specification, these implementations, or any other form that the invention may take, may be referred to as techniques. A component such as a processor or a memory described as being configured to perform a task includes both a general component that is temporarily configured to perform the task at a given time or a specific component that is manufactured to perform the task. In general, the order of the steps of disclosed processes may be altered within the scope of the invention.
A detailed description of one or more embodiments of the invention is provided below along with accompanying figures that illustrate the principles of the invention. The invention is described in connection with such embodiments, but the invention is not limited to any embodiment. The scope of the invention is limited only by the claims and the invention encompasses numerous alternatives, modifications and equivalents. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. These details are provided for the purpose of example and the invention may be practiced according to the claims without some or all of these specific details. For the purpose of clarity, technical material that is known in the technical fields related to the invention has not been described in detail so that the invention is not unnecessarily obscured.
Reconstructing semantic information is disclosed. In some embodiments, cluster analysis is performed to determine one or more semantic relationships between content elements comprising a source content, such as a file or document. In the case of text, for example, characters (glyphs) are associated together to identify words, words are grouped into paragraphs, paragraphs (and/or parts thereof) into columns, etc. In some embodiments, region finding algorithms are used to group text and/or other content items into associated regions. In some embodiments, semantic reconstruction is performed to facilitated editing, reusing, reformatting, repurposing, etc. of content at an appropriate and/or desired semantic level.
In some embodiments, a glyph includes either a text glyph (e.g., representing one or more characters) or an inline object such as an image, symbol or shape that flows with the neighboring text. In some embodiments, a word includes one or more glyphs intended to be read as a unit. For example, words are in a dictionary, hyperlinks, abbreviations, numbers, dates in some formats, and single or grouped inline images. In some embodiments, a text line includes sequences of words that span a (e.g., straight) line in the text progression direction (horizontal, left to right or right to left in some examples). In some embodiments, a text line is intended to be read in order, such as those that form part of a sentence, phrase, title, name, list item or table cell entry.
At 104, semantic reconstruction is performed on the source content. In some embodiments, semantic reconstruction includes up-converting the source content to a meta-language encoded representation. Up-conversion includes converting the starting content into a higher semantic encoding. In some embodiments, semantic data included, expressly or implicitly, in and/or otherwise associated with, the source content data is used at least in part to convert the starting content to a higher semantic encoding. Up-conversion includes reconstruction of semantic structure. The reconstruction, in some embodiments, includes reconstructing the semantic structure of the original encoding and adding additional semantic encoding beyond what was present in the original encoding. In some embodiments, the starting content is up-converted using a content profile data that is associated with at least one rule for converting encodings. In some embodiments, formatting and/or text and/or outline hierarchy data is used to up-convert, e.g., by identifying and processing differently text that is in title case or formatted in a manner commonly used to distinguish major headings from other text. By up-converting content data, various desired content processing can be enabled. For example, advanced search functions such as when searching an invoice content, fields such as "items", "quantity", "price" and "description" can be automatically extracted from the source content for inclusion as fields in a search dialog.
At 106, desired content processing is enabled and/or performed. Enabling the desired content processing includes performing one or more operations to enable the desired content processing to be performed. In some embodiments, the desired content processing includes one or more of the following: importing, selecting, copying, pasting, extracting, editing, re-purposing, re-styling, searching, combining, transforming, rendering or otherwise processing data. In some embodiments, the desired content processing is enabled/performed using the semantics reconstructed in 104. For example, the source content editing is enabled/performed in the semantically reconstructed font/text flow pattern of the source content.
In some embodiments, a drawing format is defined to be a format that encodes one or more visual attributes (e.g., text font and style, line thickness, fill pattern, etc.) and layout (e.g., coordinates on the page, transformations applied, z-order, etc.), but not structure (e.g., word, paragraph, column, table, list, title, author, section, header, footer, caption, footnote). In some cases, PDF (Portable Document Format) and SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) are examples of drawing formats. With drawing formats, it is possible to have many different encodings that appear exactly the same when rendered. For example, a black rectangle with dimensions 100�50 and no border will appear exactly the same as a straight line segment of length 100 with stroke color black and stroke thickness 50. In some embodiments, there exists a need to identify the same semantics in two encodings that render the same. In some embodiments, this is facilitated by mapping many encodings to a single, common, canonical encoding, and writing semantic reconstruction algorithms that act on the canonical encoding. The process of mapping to a canonical encoding in some embodiments is termed normalization. In some embodiments, normalization of a drawing format includes one or more of the following steps: Remove space characters; Replace character strings with individually positioned characters; Re-order characters by primary sort on y value, secondary sort on x value; Separate multi-curve paths into individual curves; Eliminate unnecessary intermediate vertices from straight lines; Adjoin abutting rectangles that can be combined into a single rectangle; Unify fills and strokes; Flatten transformations (e.g., compose all nested coordinate transformations and apply the result to determine final positions of objects).
In some embodiments, cluster analysis is a set of techniques that can be applied to a collection of data points to group points into clusters that are closer to each other than to the points of another cluster. In some embodiments, cluster analysis is applied to data points that represent the horizontal and vertical gaps between objects such as glyphs, words and text lines. For example, k-means cluster analysis is used. Starting with a collection of numbers (p1, . . . ,pN) representing spatial gaps, and a known value for k (the number of clusters), the technique is used to partition the numbers into k clusters C1, . . . ,Ck defined by inequalities of the form Cj={pi|aj≦pi<aj+1} where a1, . . . ak+1 is an increasing sequence. Before applying the k-means technique, the differences pi+1−pi are sorted by size and the k−1 largest differences are taken to be the partition points. For example, if pi+1−pi is one of the k−1 largest differences, then pi+1 is in a different cluster from pi, and pi+1 is one of the successive values aj. k-means cluster analysis is then applied to repeatedly refine the clusters. The k-means technique involves taking the mean of the numbers in each cluster, then re-distributing the pi into clusters by associating them with the closest calculated mean. This is performed repeatedly until it causes no change in the clusters or their means.
In some embodiments, a technique disclosed and referred to herein as "difference clustering" is used to determine the number of levels of structural relationships that exist between content elements comprising a given source content and/or one or more hierarchical relationships between such levels, as well as one or more characteristics that can be used to determine whether a content element is related to another content in each of the determined levels. In some embodiments, "difference clustering" utilizes the k-means technique together with other techniques. In the example shown in
At 402, locations of elements are identified. In various embodiments, the elements include characters, glyphs, images, lines, drawings, boxes, cells, margins, and/or various other content elements. In some embodiments, locations of the elements include determining and/or assigning one or more location coordinate components to the elements. In some embodiments, the locations of the elements are organized in an order. For example when analyzing the horizontal spacing of characters, the characters are organized in increasing horizontal coordinate order for each line of characters. In some embodiments, the location coordinate values of the elements are desired to be associated with the spacing between the elements, and the location values are compensated for the width/length of the element. For example, when determining a compensated horizontal coordinate (x-coordinate) value for an element in the n-th position of an organized order of elements, the following formula is used.
X′n is the compensated location coordinate value, Xn is the original location coordinate value, and Wi is width of an element in the i-th position.
At 404, for each element, a first order difference between the location of the element and a location of an adjacent element is determined. In some embodiments, an element is adjacent to another element if the two elements with at least one same location coordinate component value are ordered next to each other in at least one other location coordinate component value. For example, two glyphs are adjacent to each other if both of the glyphs belong to the same text line and no other glyph exists between them. In some embodiments, two elements have at least one same location coordinate component if the difference between corresponding location coordinate component values of the elements is below a limit value or within a range value. In various embodiments, an element is adjacent to another element if the two elements are next to each other in an order and/or organization associated with the identified locations of the elements. In some embodiments, the first order difference between the locations is the difference between the width/length compensated location coordinate values. For example, when determining the difference between compensated horizontal coordinate (x-coordinate) values for the adjacent elements in the n-th and n+1 position of an organized order of compensated horizontal coordinates, the following formula is used.
ΔX n =X n+1 40 −X n 40
In some embodiments, the first order difference is associated with the gap spacing between glyphs in the content.
At 406, the determined first order differences are organized. In some embodiments, organizing the first order difference includes ordering the first order differences in an increasing order. In some embodiments, organizing the first order differences includes assigning a weight value to one or more of the first order differences and organizing the first order differences at least in part by using the weight value(s). For example, in some embodiments, actual glyph spacing is divided by expected glyph spacing for each specific pair of glyphs given the font that is used, and its font metrics including size, default letter spacing and the table of kerning values stored with the font file. This ratio of actual to expected spacing is ordered by increasing value, and the values of this ratio are used in place of the first order differences throughout the remainder of the difference clustering method.
At 408, for each first order difference, a second order difference between that first order difference and an adjacent first order difference is determined to yield a set of second order difference results. In some embodiments, a first order difference is adjacent to another first order difference if the two first order differences are next to each other in an order and/or organization associated with the organization in 406. For example, when determining the second order difference between first order differences in an i-th and i+1 position of an organized order of first order differences, the following formula is used, where Δ2Xi is i-th second order difference, ΔX(i) is the first order difference in the i-th position of an organized list of first order differences, and ΔX(i+1) is the first order difference in the i+1 position of the same organized list of first order differences.
Δ2 X i =ΔX (i+1) −ΔX (i)
In some embodiments, the second order differences are associated with differences between the spacing of glyphs.
At 410, the set of second order difference results are analyzed to determine the number of clustering levels. In some embodiments, analyzing the second order differences includes organizing the determined second order differences. In some embodiments, organizing the second order difference includes ordering the second order differences in an increasing order and/or plotting the second order differences in an order of increasing second order difference values. In some embodiments, organizing the second order difference includes assigning a weight value to one or more of the second order difference. In some embodiments, organizing the second order difference includes grouping the second order differences into one or more groups. In some embodiments, the second order differences are each categorized as either an inter-group difference or an intra-group difference. Intra-group differences are associated with relatively smaller second order difference values and can represent second order differences of first order differences within the same clustering group. An example of an intra-group difference is the relatively small variation one would expect to find in the character-width compensated spacing between letters in the same word. Inter-group differences are associated with relatively larger difference values and can represent second order differences of first order differences between different clustering groups. An example of an inter-group difference is the relatively large difference between the space between two words, on the on hand, and the space between two letters in the same word, on the other. In some embodiments, the categorization of second-order differences into intra-group and inter-group values is achieved by applying 2-means cluster analysis to the ordered second-order difference values; specifically, taking (p1, . . . ,pN) to be {Δ2X1, . . . ,Δ2XN} in increasing order. Similarly, any other technique of cluster analysis that is sufficient to distinguish two clusters of data values can be applied to the ordered second-order difference values. The intra-group differences are then in the first cluster C1={pi|a1≦pi<a2}, and the inter-group differences are in the second cluster C2={pi |a2≦pi<a3}, where a1<a2<a3. In some embodiments, the number of levels into which content elements are determined to be organized, based on their spatial relationships analyzed as described above, is one more than the number of inter-group differences found through difference cluster analysis. For example, if two inter-group differences exist, the number of structural levels is three. Taking a simple example, consider characters that form words comprising a single line of text. The first order differences in the spacing between characters in the x-x-direction would yield a second order difference between character spacing and word spacing (one inter-group difference), indicating two levels of structure (words and lines). If the text had been in two columns, a further second order difference (between word spacing and column spacing) would have been detected, for a total of two inter-group differences, indicating three structural levels in the x-direction (words, lines, and columns). Repeating the analysis in the y-direction and combining results would, if applicable to the particular content, identify in some embodiments any further structural levels (e.g., paragraphs, etc.) that are manifested in the spacing between characters and groups of characters.
At 412, characteristic(s) of each cluster level is determined. In some embodiments, determining the characteristic includes determining which first order difference (and/or what range of first order differences) is associated with which cluster level. In some embodiments, determining the characteristic includes computing a statistical value associated with the first order differences associated with a cluster level. For example, by determining the average, minimum, maximum of the portion of first order differences associated with a cluster level, the average, minimum, and maximum spacing between glyphs in the content can be determined.
Let L be the number of levels of clustering. In some embodiments, L is computed by counting the number of points in the second cluster of second-order differences and adding 1. Next, the groups of first-order differences corresponding to each level can be identified, and the clusters of compensated Xn′ values can be identified at each level, for example, in one of these two ways:
(i) Perform L-means cluster analysis on the first-order differences. The resulting L clusters are the groups of first-order differences corresponding to each level. Next the number Km of clusters of Xn′ at level m are computed by adding the number of points in the (m+1)th, (m+2)th, . . . , and Lth clusters of first-order differences plus 1. Finally, perform Km-means analysis on the compensated Xn′ values to produce the Km clusters at level m.
(ii) When originally computing each first-order difference ΔXn=Xn+1′−Xn′, store its value together with the index n that can be used to identify either one of the pair of successive X values that were subtracted to produce that difference. Store the value and the index reference in a single "first-order difference" data structure. Similarly, when originally computing each second-order difference, store its value together with an index reference that can be used to identify either one of the pair of successive "first-order difference" data whose values were subtracted to produce that difference. Now, for each second-order difference that is in the second cluster (i.e. for each inter-group difference), use its index reference to identify a partition point in the first-order differences. This means that the index identifies a pair of first-order difference values that are partitioned to be in separate clusters. Partitioning in this way produces L clusters of first-order differences corresponding to the L levels of clustering in the original data. Now here is how to identify the clusters of Xn′ values at level n: For each first-order difference data in the (m+1)th, (m+2)th, . . . , and Lth cluster of first-order differences, use its index reference as a partition point in the Xn′ values.
While the examples described in detail herein deal primarily with determining the structure of a document or other electronically represented content, the difference clustering analysis may be applied to any set of data elements to determine, based on distances or any difference that can be represented or expressed as a distance or other numerical and/or spatial difference, the structural and/or other relationship between data elements. In some embodiments, cluster analysis is used in a wide variety of applications, both scientific and economic. For example, cluster analysis is used to analyze the results of market surveys and focus groups in order to segment (cluster) the market to affect targeted marketing. In this example, the number of clusters may be assumed, but may not be known apriori. In some cases, cluster analysis is also used in image recognition applications, where the objective is to find objects or borders in images based only on bitmap information. In some cases, cluster analysis is used in biology for analysis of genes in genomics as well as in the study of evolution.
In some embodiments, region analysis is performed. In some embodiments, a region includes a simple shape with non-overlapping boundary to another shape. Region Analysis includes using geometric information to identify regions of semantic import, such as the regions that contain sections, articles or table cells. The input to region analysis is drawn line segments and guide line segments deduced from the identification of aligned objects or object bounding boxes. In some embodiments, region analysis includes boundary traversal. In boundary traversal, line segments are first filtered to remove ones that may be part of content, rather than used to divide content. Then line segments are merged when they are parallel and the minimum distance between them is small compared to the page dimensions. In some circumstances, it is appropriate to join parallel lines that are not close, as long as the distance between their infinite extensions is small compared to the page dimensions, and the joined line does not subdivide content. After this merging of parallel lines, each resulting line segment is extended until the first intersection point with another line segment, in the case that there is a nearby line segment. When connecting a horizontal and a vertical line, a decision is made to whether extend the line to intersect with the other. If two divider lines (e.g., lines in a newspaper that divide articles) are to intersect as a "T" shaped intersection, the portion that would be the vertical part of "T" is extended when placed properly. If one line already intersects and extends beyond the other, the vertical part of the "T" joint is shrunk to exactly intersect with the horizontal part. After joining intersections, starting at the left side of the uppermost horizontal line (or other consistent corner), first right along a line is traversed, then turning clockwise at each successive intersection, if possible, or counterclockwise if not (or the reverse, as long as it is done consistently). If this process returns to the starting point, then the boundary of a region has been identified. This region is removed, and the whole process is followed once again on the remainder. If the process does not return to the starting point then it is because a line segment had a free end without intersection, and that line segment is removed before repeating the procedure. In some embodiments, region analysis includes region accumulation. In some embodiments, when previously identified regions overlap, the regions are merged together into a single region using region accumulation. For example, region accumulation is used to recognize that a floating image belongs in a text box.
At 606, semantic structure is encoded. In various embodiments, one or more semantic profiles are or may if available and/or applicable be used to encode the semantic structure. In some embodiments, semantic profiles are expressed using the same language as region profiles, namely sets of conjunctive normal form rules. These rules rely on the attributes that have been added by the region profiles, plus additional information that is encoded in the rules. They allow regions to be grouped into larger structures with tagged content such as "article-date-author-text". In some embodiments, the semantic profile is associated with one or more semantic interpretation rules. An example of such rule associated with a "newspaper profile" is that "the first centered, capitalized, bold line of text following the subtitle of an article is the author, except in the case of regularly occurring columns, which have author name near a small picture and with a horizontal line underneath." In some embodiments, the semantic structure is encoded using one or more meta-languages. For example, semantic information is encoded using tags that specify semantic structural information not originally encoded in the source content. In some embodiments, the encoded semantic information is used in processing a search query. For example, search categories and/or fields are at least in part determined from the encoded semantic information. The semantic profile used in the semantic structure encoding is specified by a user and/or automatically determined. In some embodiments, a profile is selected is at least in part using one or more of the following: format of the source content, analysis of the source content, a desired processing associated with the source content, and a desired output format. In some embodiments, the encoding format is XML. Using XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), the XML can be transformed to XHTML+CSS (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language+Cascading Style Sheet), SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), XAML (Extensible Application Markup Language), and/or XSL:FO (Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects) which can be formatted to PDF (Portable Document Format). In some embodiments, the encoding format of the source content is maintained. For example, a source PDF document is encoded to an output PDF document with additional semantic structure information.
In some embodiments, a profile includes one or more instructions for analysis of content (e.g., procedure calls that are triggered by a system of pattern-matching rules). Profiles can be written in any computer language; such as a declarative, procedural or functional language; that is either interpreted at runtime or compiled for greater efficiency. In some embodiments, the profile language is rich enough to include one or more of the following: the ability to invoke pre-compiled clauses (e.g., with arguments), which are functions that act on the current state of the document object model to produce a Boolean result (e.g., a clause applicable to a word might be "The font size of all characters is less than 12 pt", and a clause applicable to two straight lines might be "The two lines are parallel"); the ability to apply logical connectives between clauses and evaluate the result (e.g., Conjunctive Normal Form expression is supported); the ability to invoke a sequence of pre-compiled actions, when a logical expression evaluates to true. (e.g., a precompiled action might be "Merge these two text boxes into one" and it might be triggered by the conjunction of the clauses "The text boxes overlap" and "The text boxes are aligned left"); and the ability to script the semantic reconstruction application or library and other applications or libraries on which it depends.
In various embodiments, given a starting content at least a portion of the following is performed.
Although the foregoing embodiments have been described in some detail for purposes of clarity of understanding, the invention is not limited to the details provided. There are many alternative ways of implementing the invention. The disclosed embodiments are illustrative and not restrictive.

text: Time Warner Cable (NYSE:TWC) today announced the latest stipend as part of its Research Program on Digital Communications, which engages scholars to increase understanding of the benefits and challenges facing digital technologies in the home, office, classroom and community. The stipend announced today will support the following research initiative: The National Broadband Plan – An LGBT Perspective, written in collaboration by the LGBT Technology Partnership and Jessie Daniels of Hunter College. The project will increase understanding of the broadband and digital communications needs of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities and provide recommendations on how government policy makers can address those needs and ensure inclusion of those communities in the full benefits of broadband . Fernando Laguarda, director of the Research Program and Vice President for External Affairs and Policy Counselor at Time Warner Cable, said, "We are pleased to have this unique opportunity to contribute to a fuller exploration of issues relating to broadband and digital communications policy, especially with respect to LGBT communities whose needs have not yet been addressed by policymakers. We look forward to learning from this work and making further contributions to the communications and technology policy debate." Christopher Wood, Executive Director of the LGBT Technology Partnership, said, "We are excited about collaborating with Time Warner Cable on this research and the opportunity to shed light on the digital needs of LGBT communities. LGBT communities have specific concerns that are not immediately obvious and differ from the concerns of other communities including issues associated with privacy, confidentiality, eHealthcare, public safety and cyberbullying. This research will focus on how broadband uniquely affects these concerns and LGBT communities within the context of the National Broadband Plan." Today's stipend is the latest of awards made for the 2013 cycle. Awards were also made during 2010, 2011 and 2012. To date, the Research Program has made 21 awards to 29 leading researchers. The next deadline for stipend applications is November 1, 2013.

City Council announces parking charges for 2013
Press Release: 08/11/2012
At its meeting on the 14 November the City Council's Cabinet will consider a report about on street and off street parking charges for 2013.
The City Council has recognised the financial pressures on businesses and individuals in the current climate and wants to help by avoiding increases on the parking that people use the most. This will include a freeze in the cost of park and ride to ensure that this remains the best value and the greenest parking option for visitors to Winchester, as well as a freeze on rural area parking charges and season tickets. The half hour free parking concession in the town centre on street parking bays will also be retained, along with free Sunday and evening parking.
The current charges for on street pay and display will also stay the same.
Cllr Keith Wood, Leader of Winchester City Council said,
We know how important parking is to the local economy and have worked hard to ensure we can retain the majority of prices at the current rates. We have built in choice to the parking system to allow users the flexibility to pay for convenience or park further out for a cheaper stay.
Our Park and Ride service continues to perform well with over ¾ million passenger journeys each year and this is something we want to maintain and build upon for long term stays. At the other end of the spectrum our half hour free options in the centre of town have proved popular with businesses and users and we are happy to be able to retain this flexibility."
Consideration has also been given to the need to reduce unnecessary circulation of traffic within the town centre and to provide a cleaner and healthier environment for pedestrians and cyclists, in line with the aims of the Winchester Town Access Plan (WTAP).
The WTAP also sets out the need to provide carefully planned car parking to meet economic demand through a 'three ring' approach to car parking of an 'outer' ring (park & ride), 'inner' ring and 'centre' parking.
It is proposed that there is a minimal increase in charges in some of the centre car parks to reflect their convenience, with some reductions in the inner car parks to encourage short stay parking in those locations.
At the inner car parks (Chesil Street Surface, Chesil Multi-storey, Durngate, Worthy Lane, Coach Park and Cattle Market) it is proposed to introduce a new tariff band for stays of up to three hours, this is to allow a wider choice in the amount of time to stay where the current options are either 2 or 4 hour stays. This change reflects a deliberate policy to encourage people to think about where they park, to park further out and hence avoid bringing vehicles into the one-way system, and also offer alternatives in terms of cheaper charges away from the town centre.

Your car's brakes operate through a hydraulic system, which means that they are powered through varying fluid pressure. Depressing the brake pedal pushes a piston that forces fluid through pipes to a cylinder that is placed near each wheel. The fluid fills the cylinders, which causes pistons to push out and apply the brakes to the wheel. Today's cars have anti lock brakes that include sensors and a control module to prevent a car from locking up and skidding in the event of heavy braking. Learn more about your car's brakes by having it inspected at in Amarillo, TX.
Anti-lock brakes offer many benefits to drivers. The key advantage is that ABS brakes allow you to more safely stop in slippery conditions. Some drivers rely on their ABS brakes to help them stop within a shorter distance as well. Although an ABS system cost does add to the price of repairs, the technology is standard on most vehicles now. Without this system, you may lose money during the resale of your vehicle. The professional technicians at Meineke #1821 in Amarillo, TX repair and install ABS brakes and we offer silicone brake fluid and mineral brake fluid to maintain your system. Drive safely on icy, snowy, and wet roads any time of year.
Your ABS is a crucial safety feature. Fortunately, there are several warning signs that will allow you to get it repaired before it fails. Many cars today have an ABS warning light. If yours comes on, take your car to a mechanic and have it checked right away. Other red flags for impaired anti lock function include brakes locking up at odd times, brake pedals that do not respond to pressure and a greater amount of pressure being needed to brake. If you notice any of these, it is time for an immediate check-up. Stop at Meineke #1821 in Amarillo, TX to learn about ABS system cost for repair or replacement.
Signs of potential brake failure can appear suddenly or gradually. In some cases, the brake pedal may go out, while in others you may notice a creeping increase in the time it takes to stop your car. Strange noises while braking can also indicate a problem. Faulty brakes decrease the control you have over your car and can lead to a serious accident. If you notice a problem with your brakes, have your car checked immediately. Contact the car repair professionals at Meineke #1821 in , TX for repairs and maintenance to your brake system.
If you are accustomed to bringing your vehicle in to Meineke #1821 in Amarillo, TX, for routine inspection of your anti-lock brakes, you already know that this represents big cost savings. You might need a minor part or some brake fluid added to the system, and this kind of service can be done quickly and inexpensively. If, however, you have worn brake pads, replacement will be required and you should have that done as soon as possible. Brakes of any kind are designed to wear out, and brake pads are only one component that might need replacing. We will assess any brake problems you're having and recommend the most appropriate solution.
We know that you're as interested in great ABS brake service as you are in an economical solution to your car's specific issues. The specialists at Meineke #1821 in Amarillo, TX, are familiar with every kind of brake problem. Our goal is to offer solutions that are effective while still being as considerate as possible to your budget.

You're possibly involved with it or you're not, but there's no questioning the feverish penchant that Steven Hill and Chris Reed have for clothes, coaches and everything of the "Skaterboy" character. Certainly, both of these lads are very actually like pets with two dicks once they first experience one another – fighting a smoke about the mattress over, whilst snorting vibrant testosterone's abundant fragrance from rsquo & Hill;s shoes. It's obviously ample to obtain both pals within the feeling for many hardcore erotic motion; and before you realize it they're-engaged in certain really lively snogging, as they grope one another's today really bloated crotches.
If that is your point then be assured that you simply're-in to get a handle, with arctic white clothes rubbing against heavy, meaty, uncut shafts; before attraction of stroking dick merely gets the greater of both lads, plus they sidle up 69-design to interact in certain good old fashioned-designed fellatio. By this time, obviously, rsquo & there;s every opportunity that rsquo & you;ll be completely unzipped and contemplating the chance of an earlier bathtub – as they say! – however it appears these two chavs have only started. For getting feasted on all that wonderful penis, the buddies choose that it's high-time to place their bottoms about the point – first Slope, who continues to meticulously jump down and up on Reed's penis like it's the task he was created to, subsequently Reed, who gets obtained from behind just like a cheap slut.
Small surprise that neither lad may avoid the desire to break their sacs for lengthy – equally pals spurting out large lots of pent up jizz, which (notably fittingly) they go to clean away having a sock.

The Peep o' Day Boys was a Protestant secret association in 18th century Ireland, active in the 1780s and '90s and a precursor of the Orange Order.
The Peep-of-day Boys arose in the year 1784, in County Armagh, Ireland. Members of this secret association were also known as the " Protestant Boys", "Wreckers", Hearts of Steel, Oak Boys and, finally "Orangemen." According to John Mitchel, their members were all Protestants. Their grievances he writes were connected with landlord oppression and clerical exaction, in addition to alleged injustice of employers in manufacturing labour. The latter disturbances however were soon over, because he says, the grievances were not so deep-seated because the two sides being mainly of the same race and religion the enmity and exasperation was never so fierce.[1][2] However, Richard R. Madden suggests that the Peep-of-Day Boys were composed of both Protestants and Presbyterians while the Defenders originally consisted of Catholics. The Peep-of-Day Boys so-called on account of the nature of their attacks between dusk and dawn on the homes of their Catholic neighbours in search of arms. The title "Defenders" arose on account of the resistance of Catholics to these aggressions. From the search for arms the "privileged party" proceeded then to more general acts of plunder and outrage, perpetrated on most occasions with the most "scandalous impunity."[1]
Removing sectarian divisions
Through the efforts and exertions of both the Protestant and Presbyterian brethren who came forward to protest against the continuance of the disabilities under which the Catholic community laboured "throughout ages of injustice and unexampled oppression" brought about some redress between 1794 and 1795. Under the influence of the United Irishmen according to T. A. Jackson, political unity was replacing sectarian divisions in Ulster. This he says inspired "public-spirited zeal" in Catholic areas like County Armagh were the population had been evenly devivided and the scene of sporadic violence between the Peep O'Day Boys and Catholic Defenders for years dying down to nothing under the influence of the United Irish.[3] Henry Joy McCracken while attempting to unite the Peep O'Day Boys and Catholic Defenders was placed under surveillance and was later arrested in October, 1796, and sent to Dublin, being placed first in Newgate prison, and afterwards to Kilmainham Jail.[4]
Government reaction
The reaction of the English Whigs and the administration in Dublin Castle was to break up the popular unity, by stirring up disunity and disturance under the pretext of zeal for the Protestant religion. Richard R. Madden writes that "Popish plots and conspiracies" were fabricated with a, practical facility" by some "influential authorities" who he says "conceived it no degradation to stoop to." Alarming reports he says of "dark confederations were circulated" by these influential authorities with a restless assiduity.[3][5][6]
With the arrival of a new Viceroy, Earl Fitzwilliam the Peep of Day boys resumed their activity after a hiatus of nearly two years. Jackson suggests that it is impossible to miss the connection between this fact, and the lie propagated by the Clare-Beresford [7] faction that Fitzwilliam was there to replace the Protestant ascendancy with a Catholic one. With Defenders, again in action, he says, every successful defence against Peep of Day attack began to be portrayed as a "Catholic outrage." This "artificially worked-up pogrom" culminated in what came to be known as the Battle of the Diamond.[8]
Battle of the Diamond
The violence reached a pitch in 1795, when the two groups fought in the "Battle of the Diamond" in Loughall, County Armagh. However according to Mervyn Jess, the Protestant faction in the battle was not comprised only of Peep of Day Boys, with a large contingent from Co. Tyrone known as the Orange Boys. [9] These Protestant Peep of Day Boys and plundering banditti afterwards developed itself according to Mitchel into "the too-famous organisation of "Orangemen." [10][11] The Orange Society was founded in the aftermath of this "battle" which occurred on the 21 September 1795 , with the first Orange lodge established in Dyan, County Tyrone. Its first grand master was James Sloan of Loughgall, in whose inn the victory by the Peep O'Day Boys was celebrated. [12]
The Governor of Armagh, Lord Gosford, gave his opinion of the County Armagh disturbances which resulted from the "battle" at a meeting of magistrates on the 28 December, 1795: "It is no secret, that a persecution, accompanied with all circumstances of ferocious cruelty which have in all ages distinguished that dreadful calamity, is now raging in this county. Neither age nor sex, nor even acknowledged innocence as to any guilt in the late disturbances, is sufficient to excite mercy, much less to afford protection. The only crime which the wretched objects of this ruthless persecution are charged with, is a crime, indeed, of easy proof—it is simply a profession of the Roman Catholic faith, or an intimate connection with a person professing this faith. A lawless banditti have constituted themselves judges of this new species of delinquency, and the sentence they denounce is equally concise and terrible! It is nothing less than a confiscation of all property, and an immediate banishment." [13]
Throughout the 1790s up to 7,000 Catholics were expelled from their homes in central Ulster.[14] According to Edward Hay, the object of these Orangemen appears to have been, "not to suffer a Catholic to remain within the limits of their sphere of action." They posted on the doors of the Catholics he says, peremptory notices of departure; specifying the precise time, a week at the farthest, pretty nearly in the following words: "To hell or to Connaught with you, you bloody Papists! and if you are not gone by (mentioning the day) we will come and destroy yourselves and your properties. We all hate the Papists here." They were he concludes, generally as good as their words. [15] Former Grand Master of the Orange Order William Blacker, says he deplored these events but has suggested that no known wrecker or Peep of Day Boy was ever admitted to the Orange Institution.[16] Mervyn Jess however notes that some Peep of Day Boys might have "slipped through the net" but if so they found themselves in a vastly different organisation.[17]
In the Irish House of Commons, on the 20th of February, 1796, Henry Grattan observed, "that of these outrages he had received the most dreadful accounts. Their object was, the extermination of all the Catholics of that county". He described it as " a persecution conceived in the bitterness of bigotry—carried on with the most ferocious barbarity by a banditti, who, being of the religion of the state, had committed, with greater audacity and confidence the most horrid murders, and had proceeded from robbery and massacre to extermination! They had repealed by their own authority all the laws lately passed in favour of the Catholics had established in the place of those laws the inquisition of a mob, resembling Lord George Gordon's fanatics—equalling them in outrage, and surpassing them far in perseverance and success. These insurgents", he continued "call themselves Orange Boys, or Protestant Boys, that is, a banditti of murderers, committing massacre in the name of God, and exercising despotic power in the name of liberty".[18]
Orangemen and ex-Peep O'Day Boys were also involved in the suppression of the Irish Rebellion of 1798 providing Yeomanry corps and supplementary loyalist militias to the service of the government. According to Jim Smyth "Later apologists rather implausibly deny any connection between the Peep O'Day Boys and the first Orangeman or, even less plausibly, between the Orangemen and the mass wrecking of Catholic cottages in Armagh in the months following the Diamond; all of them, however, acknowledge the movement's lower class origins." [19]
According to Ruth Dudley Edwards Orangemen were among the first to contribute to repair funds for Catholic property damaged in the violence.[20][21]

"Colorado's regional airports form important links for businesses and travelers throughout the state," Udall said. "Improving Colorado's transportation network is one of the most important things we can do to support our local communities and local businesses.

I am needing to move some mailboxes to a separate store on the same exchange server. So, will I be able to do that without messing up the users' access during work hours? Or do I need to do it when they aren't accessing their email?

It is normally better to perform this type of task when the mail server is not under load and users are not actively accessing their mailboxes.
If you are using Exchange 2003, then you can actually schedule a mailbox move during off-hours within the Move Mailbox wizard.

A year of fabulous fun vs an eternity of hell? Dude, that's not even a choice. Why would I want to spend the rest of my life with someone who only ranks 1 on the scale of 10? I also believe that beautiful people die young. I'm not gonna outlast the 1-point wife. She will probably last until the next century.
The other choice is having the rest of my life doing what I want, solo, with an extra bonus of 1 year of doing whatever I wanted with an angel. I'd spend my whole day with her and enjoy every single moment of it.
Now 1 year with a 10/10 or the rest of my life with a 7/10. Yeah, that's a much much harder choice.00|00|0

Mohammad Yousuf hit a century to lead Pakistan to 265-9 in the second day-night international against South Africa at the Gaddafi Stadium here.
The 33-year-old right-hander struck 117 and put on 107 for the fourth wicket with captain Shoaib Malik (56) to lift Pakistan to a respectable total after they won the toss and elected to bat.
Yousuf also added 60 for the third wicket with Younis Khan (32) to repair the early loss of Kamran Akmal (nought) and Imran Nazir (two).
Ironically Yousuf's determination to stay in and reach triple figures slowed the tempo as Pakistan managed just 41 runs in the 10 overs between 30 and 40, losing a chance to make more than 300 runs on a batting friendly pitch.
He hit paceman Jacques Kallis for his seventh boundary to complete his 13th one-day hundred off 129 balls.
Yousuf struck nine boundaries in all off 143 balls before he was bowled by Albie Morkel in the penultimate over.
Pakistan opened the innings with Kamran Akmal in an attempt to solve their top-order problems but the ploy failed as Shaun Pollock bowled Akmal off the fifth ball of the innings.
Nazir hooked Makhaya Ntini into the hands of the square-leg fielder in the sixth over to leave Pakistan struggling at 13-2.
Younis relieved the pressure for Pakistan by hitting three boundaries before he was run out, sent back by Yousuf while attempting a sharp single to short mid-wicket.
Malik looked in great touch as he hit off-spinner Johan Botha for three sixes and then lofted Kallis out of the ground before reaching his half-century off just 40 balls.
When it looked like Pakistan would post a big total, Malik pulled fast bowler Charl Langeveldt straight to long-on where Justin Kemp took a straight-forward catch.
Misbah-ul Haq (21) helped Yousuf add 41 for the fifth wicket. Shahid Afridi hit a six during his brief stay as Pakistan managed 78 runs in the last 10 overs.
Pakistan made one change to the side which lost the first match here by 45 runs, bringing in left-arm spinner Abdul Rehman in place of opener Mohammad Hafeez. South Africa remain unchanged from the first match.

Terms of the deal call for Houston-based Sysco to pay $3 billion in common stock and $500 million in cash for U.S. Foods and to assume or refinance $4.7 billion of net debt.
Post-deal, U.S. Foods owners Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. LP would own about 13% of Sysco, and each private equity firm will appoint a representative to the buyer's board.
The deal values U.S. Foods at 9.9 times the company's $826 million in trailing 12-month adjusted Ebitda, with Sysco estimating it can extract at least $600 million in annual synergies from the deal.
Sysco CEO Bill DeLaney, who will continue to lead the combined company, in a statement said the purchase would create a food distribution giant. Sysco runs 193 distribution facilities serving 425,000 customers and generates about $44 billion in annual sales. U.S. Foods has about $22 billion in annual sales, with 60 locations nationwide.
"Sysco and U.S. Foods have highly complementary core strengths including a broad product portfolio and passionate food people deeply committed to customer service, quality-assured products and safety," DeLaney said. "Together we will strive to enhance shareholder value by providing our customers with highly differentiated products and services."
Shares of Sysco increased 27%, almost $10 apiece, in premarket trading following the announcement.

Branwen (pronounced BRAN-oo-wen) is the Welsh Goddess of love and beauty. She is the daughter of Llyr, God of the sea, and Penarddun, also a Goddess of beauty, and sister of Bran, the King of Wales. Bran had promised his sister to Matholwch, the King of Ireland, as his wife, but before they could be wed, Bran and Branwen's half-brother Efnisien, angered that he had not been consulted, went on a rampage and mutilated the horses that Matholwch had brought with him. Bran offered Matholwch various gifts, but there was only one that would appease his anger. Bran was in possession of a magical cauldron that had been given to him by the Goddess Cymidei Cymeinfoll, a cauldron that would bring back to life any warrior who was killed in battle. Bran reluctantly gave Matholwch the cauldron, and he took it and Branwen and returned to Ireland.
The first year of her marriage was happy for Branwen, and she gave birth to a son, Gwern. However, things went downhill from there, and Branwen became more a slave than a queen. She taught a starling to speak and sent it across the sea to Bran. Bran immediately assembled an army and set sail for Ireland, taking Efnisien along. Matholwch tried to settle the disagreement with Bran amicably, but hot-tempered Efnisien broke the peace by casting the young Gwern into a fire. War erupted, and the Irish had the upper hand, because they had the cauldron that would resuscitate their warriors. Efnisien redeemed himself by throwing himself into the cauldron and breaking it, turning the tide for the Welsh. By the end of the war, all of the Irish except for five pregnant women had been killed. Of the Welsh, only Branwen and seven men remained. Bran had been fatally wounded, and he instructed his men to cut off his head, which stayed alive, and take it back to Wales. When Branwen and the men landed at Aber Alaw in Wales, she lamented over the destruction that had taken place because of her marriage, and she died of a broken heart.
Branwen's grave, Bedd Branwen, can still be seen, marked with a standing stone. Excavations found that had indeed been burials there in the early Bronze Age. Branwen's name, which means "blessed raven," is also seen as Brangwaine.

All harvest we obsess over the flavor and texture of the fruit on the vine. In the winery, we become all-consumed with fermentation temperatures and extraction management. For the next one, two, and even three years we systematically check in on each barrel, examining how the flavors integrate and settle. Once bottled, we live with the wines through release, writing tasting notes and popping corks … Read More →
The New Era
If you have any doubt about our dedication to making the absolute best wine possible, I invite you to take a stroll through our cuverie. Row on row of beautiful (in a way only a proud owner can love) 4-ton open-top unsealed concrete fermenters stand full of BB-sized purple Syrah grapes.

Best of Tasting – August 3rd
On August 3rd we will pour 16 of our very best wines for customers seated around the large wood table in our Lompoc Winery.

SYRAH and…? THE FUTURE OF STOLPMAN VINEYARDS
We believe Syrah is the best suited grape for Ballard Canyon. Sangiovese also does exceptionally well in our vineyard, but it ripens simultaneously with Syrah. The timing creates one of our very best wines, La Croce, but it also creates a tough picking rush for La Cuadrilla and an insanely frantic period for Sashi and the winery. Enter Grenache, which has gained a fervent following … Read More →

"Thank you for the care given at Rose Cottage (mortuary)"
About: Sheffield Children's Hospital Sheffield Children's Hospital Sheffield S10 2TH
Posted by qazwsx12 (as ),
My grandson died in early January 2014 and was taken to Rose Cottage, I visited him in a very nice and comfortable room the following day. No time limit was set and we were told everything they knew at the time.
Special thanks to Guy who was fantastic along with the rest of the team. It may seem strange to thank the people there but they are part of the hospital staff as well and see people when they are most vulnerable.
Thank you for a very positive experience and the care given to my grandson after he passed

Bred by Nathan Fenby of New Oxford, Pa.
Snow Bell - 3-4 y.o., white Import female. Snow Bell (fka Snow Ball) is a petite pixie'ish female, that epitomizes Japanese femininity. She is playful and flirty, friendly and curious about all going on around her, a real charmer. She walks well on leash. Will alert when other dogs in yards bark at her and will arouse quickly. This can be cut short by a verbal correction. She will remain on alert but will continue walking well. We then practiced sitting (which she did very well), but would need some practice on staying 'put'. When she settled down, she was very kissy and quite the cuddler. She leaned into me and loved to have her chest scratched and tummy rubbed. Her tail reminded me of a huge Spider Chrysanthemum corsage attached to her hip, combined with the pink lead, all she needed was a parasol to be Tokyo's best girl.
I believe this girl has been in several homes and it is apparent that she has learned to be skillful in her efforts to pick and choose what she wishes to do. I think she will do fine in an Akita savvy home, with stability and boundaries, who won't fall victim to her charming efforts to have things her way. Snowbelle would be best as an only dog in a home with no small children. She has had some issues with anxiety while being crated and left alone. Her ideal home would have someone home most of the day.
Thank You!

JYP Entertainment has been famous for its popular lineup of artists mainly in dancing. Starting with Rain, Noel, Byul, with the inclusion of boy/girl groups, like g.o.d., Wonder Girls, 2PM, miss A, GOT7, and TWICE, all have received much love from fans not just through music but dance choreography.
Starting in 2015, JYP Entertainment's main focus was on band creation. Regrouping into 4 members, Wonder Girls returned with a new album titled, 'REBOOT,' in which the girls changed their concepts 180 degrees. Adding more rock into the twist, Wonder Girls went from girl group to officially girl band. News regarding the variation sparked great interest among fans alike.
However, the different reactions from the public did not stop the girls from going full force. In just a short span of time, Wonder Girls was able to demonstrate their remarkable skills in drums, bass, and guitar. The band's most recent song, "Why So Lonely", clearly resonates the retro genre deep within listeners' hearts, celebrating their 10 year anniversary.
Boy band DAY6 debuted last year. Being JYP Entertainment's first band, each member is utilizing their gifts in lyric writing and music composing, shown through their album. Furthermore, the boys are working extra hard to establish the band's identity by performing live at concerts.
On the other hand, FNC is well known for its exquisite bands such as CNBLUE. Just last year, they compiled a survival project "d.o.b." through Mnet. The winning team debuted as SF9. Apart from previous bands like FT Island and CNBLUE, SF9 appears to be giving off a different vibe.
AOA also debuted as a girl band. Swapping between band/group concepts, the girls broke off their sluggish chains, which seems to be a reoccurring topic among netizens, depicted in "Get Out" and "Moya." And gradually succeeded in transforming into a dance group with "Short Skirt," "Short Hair," and "Heart Attack." After member Youkyung left last year, AOA returned as an official girl group consisting of seven members and released their first full album 'ANGEL'S KNOCK' just days ago.
What are your thoughts on the shifting dynamics with JYP putting more focus on bands and FNC putting more focus on dance?

The most renowned photographer of Bollywood Dabboo Ratnani launched this year's calendar amidst all the excitement and buzz. Since the past 16 years, Dabboo has been coming up with the Bollywood-oriented calendar which showcases a different side of every actor in a unique and never-seen-before avatar. Celebs like Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan religiously appear in every year's calendar.
These calendars are not for the public but only for the industry-wallahs, yet manage to garner huge buzz because of the amazing photography skills of Dabboo and the prospect of watching their favorite stars in different and unique themes.
Let us look at the most amazing and quirky ones of the year that got us glued to the calendar.
1. Hrithik Roshan:
An intense Hrithik standing against a dark background. Though the color combination of the picture is colorful with blue and red, the mood is shady.
2. Priyanka Chopra:
As Priyanka described this photo-shoot, this picture defines women empowerment. The picture shows a happy Priyanka, perhaps still in her 'Mary Kom' mood, effortlessly lifting a car all by herself showing how strong she is.
3. Akshay Kumar:
"Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji…Hooo…. Thoda Kaccha Hai Ji…â€
4. Vidya Balan:
Vidya's chronicles with Dabboo Ratnani continues. Every time we see her in the calendar, she appears to be clothed a little less than before (except for the sizzling 2011 where she was draped in just white paint). And going by this year's photo shoot, Vidya chose to wear nothing but cover herself with the newspaper.
5. Farhan Akhtar:
The witty and charming Farhan turns into a bathroom singer. Certainly the most colorful and lively picture amongst the lot. He looks fascinating in the peach suit posing like a professional singer.
6. Jacqueline Fernandez:
The bubbly and gorgeous Jacqueline makes her debut in Dabboo Ratnani's calendar this year. And looks like her sheer excitement has been used as the prop in this photo-shoot. She looks fab with the big white towel wrapped around her while jumping with joy on the couch. That bubbly and cute smile makes our hearts go dhak dhak.
7.Shah Rukh Khan:
While the other Khan's were busy playing the number game, SRK went a step ahead and carved his body into what was admired by all and inspired millions. And who else, other than good-friend Dabboo could capture the intense and action-oriented eight-pack abs avatar of King Khan; a complete makeover from the charming and romantic SRK we have always seen. He looks sizzling and sexy.
8. Deepika Padukone:
Yes Ranveer Singh, we envy you. BIG TIME. Those eyes….
9. Ranveer Singh:
The rugged yet cool and stylish photo-shoot along with tons of confidence and ambitious eyes.
10. Alia Bhatt:
She shocked us with her dare-bare avatar in the previous edition of the calendar. This time, she has gone ahead to make herself look wet. Wait no…we mean this. Take a look at the picture behind Priyanka Chopra. Doesn't she look sensuous?
11. Varun Dhawan:
He re-defines class, charm and suave-style with this photo-shoot. A black and white canvas but looks nothing less than the cinematic entry of a star on the big screen. Looks like Jr.Dhawan takes the 'Main Tera Hero' tag way too seriously. We love it.
12. Amitabh Bachchan:
Keeping up with the tag of being the coolest man at 72, Big B looks classy and suave in the suit. While one Big B has got the smirk and the attitude, the other brings out the funny and lovable Big B. Perhaps reminded us of Madam Tussauds maybe?
13. Parineeti Chopra:
Another attempt by Pari to look sexy and break her cute girl-next-door image. She looks sizzling hot in the bathtub wearing those big spectacles and holding a cigar in her hand. How I wish I has such a sizzling teacher in school.
14. John Abraham:
No matter how many times we have seen him shirtless, we just can't get over this picture. He looks like a sexy French model; and those chiseled abs and muscles are still a winner.
15. Shraddha Kapoor:
And while we were busy falling for John, this girl gave us a whole new reason to get over him and fall for her. Again a black-and-white but a sizzling and sensuous one. Those magical eyes, her flawless beauty, her beautiful hair and the backless pose… *lovestruck*
16. Kajol:
Intense. Is she planning to work with Ram Gopal Verma now?
17. Abhishek Bachchan:
Like father like son. Jr.B's height is the same as his father, as we all know. But this picture proves that yet again as the Big Man walks on the busy streets of Mumbai.
18. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan:
Looks like it was a family affair! If Big B and Jr.B are there, how could the Bahu. B be left behind? She looks sizzling and classy.
19. Arjun Rampal:
Keeping up with his image of a serious charmer, Arjun looks smoking hot behind the cycle wheels sporting the much-loved stubble and wearing a hat.
20. Anushka Sharma:
A very cozy one, she looks way too lazy to even get up.
21. Siddharth Malhotra:
The serious look + Right arm tattoo's + Beard look + The key-mark of his face + Intense look + Leather jacket = This perfect pic. *aye villain….aye villain*
22. Sonakshi Sinha:
Perhaps a copy of John Abraham's 2013 calendar picture? While John looked hot and adorable, Sonakshi TRIES to look funny and cute. EPIC FAIL.
23. Ranbir Kapoor:
The young man knows very well he belongs to the Kapoor Khandaan and has a legacy he has to take care of. With images of various Kapoor-family's hits and the 'RK film' poster too, Ranbir looks serious and suave. We guess he is wondering what he should do to be remembered like his father and grandfathers.
24. Bipasha Basu:
We saved the hottest one for the very end. The sultry Bipasha Basu looks so sexy and free-spirited in this one, wearing a bikini. The perfect color combination of the blue sky and turquoise bikini make this picture worth a million Likes.
Looks like Dabboo keeps getting better and innovative every year! Way to go man. Hoping to see more amazing pictures throughout the year and another amazing 2016 Calendar next year!
