People are going to talk about Game 2. People are going to make a big deal about Game 2. Guess what:
I'm glad the Bruins won, but if they rest of their laurels because of a Game 2 can of whoop ass they opened all over Pittsburgh, the Penguins are going to destory them. I dont care how the Penguins have looked in the first two games, there's going to be a point where it clicks. There has to be. This team is too good and too deep to get swept, I really believe that.
Boston has to keep pushing. They need to keep frustrating the Penguins. Brad Marchand needs to continue to be the pest he's been the past two games without taking shitty penalties. The Bruins need to keep killing penalties.
They have a chance to tighten their grip in the series and choke the life out of the Penguins by doing what they did in the first two games. It starts with faceoffs. Boston has won 41% of the faceoffs through two games, with 66% success in Game 1. Pittsburgh was better in Game 2, but they haven't been able to solve Patrice Bergeron, who has won 64% of faceoffs he's taken in both games.
Rich Peverley is currently 80% successful on taking a faceoff.
Chris Kelly? 70% success in two games
The only one who is really lacking is David Krejci, who was awful in Game 2 (5/19, 26%) and is 40% in the series.
But this is where it starts. It's starts with the Bruins having the confidence to ice the puck and then know they will win a faceoff. In their defensive zone, Boston is 22/35 in two games – basically 63% successful at winning the puck. That's a huge, HUGE advantage when playing a team like Pittsburgh.
I know we've ripped on Vokoun with the Vokounamatata stuff, but it's not even his fault. His defense is garbage. Go back and watch Kris Letang in Game 2. He was atrocious. Straight up garbage and then you realize that he's a fucking Norris Trophy nominee.
Which further proves that the Norris Trophy is just for the best offensive defenseman in the NHL. If the NHL had a brain they would split up the trophy into two different defensive trophies based on offensive and defensive capabilities. That's for a different day.
I'm getting off-topic here.
It's funny to see people on Facebook and Twitter talk about the series like it's over. Yes, it is pretty grand that the Bruins went into Pittsburgh and rightfully won two games, but a series is over when a team wins four games – not two.
Boston just needs to utilize what has been working. Take a read at this post from our buddy Jesse Marshall at Faceoff Factor. He has a great breaksdown how the Bruins 2-3 neutral zone trap is killing the Penguins.
I'm sure Pittsburgh will adjust.
They have to. If they don't they're dead in the water.
Bruins Projected Lines
I think Claude runs with the same D pairings even with last change unless Disco Dan puts malkin and Crosby together.
Milan Lucic – David Krejci – Nathan Horton
Brad Marchand – Patrice Bergeron – Jaromir Jagr
Rich Peverley – Chris Kelly – Tyler Seguin
Shawn Thornton – Greg Campbell – Dan Paille
Zdeno Chara – Johnny Boychuk
Andrew Ference – Dennis Seidenberg
Adam McQuaid – Torey Krug

Authorities arrested a Henry County man late Friday in connection with the the Thursday night shotgun slaying of a 16-year-old Cedar Shoals High School student at his Stillwood Court home.
Henry County authorities charged 21-year-old Michael Zenos Aiken with the murder of Art Middleton, who was discovered dead of two gunshot wounds about 9 p.m. Thursday, said Athens-Clarke police Lt. W.J. Smith.
Aiken was arrested about 10 p.m. Friday while leaving a Stockbridge trailer park in Middleton's 1994 Mazda Protege, which was stolen from the slaying scene, Smith said.
Smith said that interviews with young people from Athens and Oglethorpe County led investigators to suspect Aiken in the murder. Aiken is suspected of burglarizing a Spring Valley Road mobile home earlier this week. A shotgun was stolen in that burglary, police said.
Police said a caller confirmed their suspicion when he told officers he spotted the vehicle in Conyers about noon Friday. The tipster, who learned of the missing car from a television news report, told police a photo of the suspect matched the description of the driver he spotted.
The warrant was taken out about 7 p.m. Friday, and Henry County authorities staked out a trailer park the suspect was known to frequent. Aiken was expected to be brought back to Clarke County early today for questioning. As of 11 p.m. Friday he was being held in the Henry County jail.
Smith said he was not sure if Aiken was known to his victim. Aiken was previously arrested on a burglary charge in Henry County, and had relatives in Oglethorpe County, Smith said. Police were unable to determine if the suspect was employed. They believe he had attended school in Oglethorpe County.
Smith said investigators were unsure whether Aiken was intending to burglarize the home in which Middleton was slain.
''Right now it's an open question,'' Smith said. ''He didn't have any transportation, and usually you use a car when you're going to burglarize somebody.''
Middleton, described by friends as a bright, popular student, was discovered by his mother shortly after 9 p.m. Thursday with mortal shotgun wounds to the head and abdomen, police said.
A 911 call was placed from the home about 8:50 p.m., but the line was disconnected before police dispatchers could speak with the caller. Middleton's mother, Melissa Moog, apparently returned home from her job at Athens Regional Medical Center shortly after the call was made and discovered her son's body sprawled on the floor, police said. A phone line beside Middleton's body had been cut, according to a police report.
More than 10 detectives from the Athens-Clarke Police Department and investigators with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation have worked on the case.
Police set up checkpoints Friday afternoon in the Green Acres subdivision to question drivers returning from work, asking if they heard or saw anything that would help the investigation.
There were no apparent signs of forced entry at the home, which was usually kept unlocked, Moog told police. Friends of the family said the home was a popular gathering place for teens, who often dropped in for visits during the day and night.
Friday afternoon, technicians from the GBI Crime Lab in Decatur continued to process the scene, at the end of a cul-de-sac in a middle-class neighborhood of modest brick and woodframe homes. The street dead-ends behind Cedar Shoals High School in southeastern Clarke County.
About 20 classmates gathered somberly in front of the home Friday and laid flowers outside the yellow crime scene tape, some choking back tears.
Middleton was the son of University of Georgia professor Kent Middleton, head of the journalism department in the Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. He lived with his mother, stepfather and a younger sister. The sister, a middle-school student, was in Atlanta with her father when the shooting occurred, neighbors said.
Police said Art Middleton was last seen about 6 p.m. Thursday, but could not say Friday who last saw him. The teen attended classes at Cedar Shoals on Thursday.
Nash Boney, a retired UGA professor who lives next door, said he didn't hear or see anything out of the ordinary Thursday night. Boney said he was home when the shooting occurred, and neither of his dogs piped up.
''It seems like somebody would have heard something,'' Boney said. ''The first thing I saw were the flashing blue lights. It's so strange -- this isn't a shooting neighborhood.''
Boney said the most serious crime in the area was an occasional car break-in.
''It's a quiet neighborhood, really,'' he said. ''A lot of people walk here after dark -- I would be astounded if anybody even got mugged.''
''It's really scary to think that something like that could happen right across the street,'' said neighbor Frank Malinowski. ''I've lived in this neighborhood for over 40 years. Nothing like this has ever happened in our neighborhood.''
Scores of teen-agers, parents, teachers and family friends gathered Friday a few blocks from Stillwood Court at the Clyde Road home of Art Middleton's father to pay respects. Friends said the family remained in shock.
Art Middleton's death is the third violent tragedy to strike the community surrounding Cedar Shoals High School in the last four years. In October 1996, Cedar Shoals senior Merri Peacock, who lived nearby on Forest Road, also in the Green Acres subdivision, was slain by a former boyfriend in Bogart. And 15-year-old Lakeshia Gordon, a freshman at the high school, was murdered in an Elberton hotel room during a September 1996 robbery.

I just left myself, today!

Sounds like maybe its the new you, or at least some newly discovered part of yourself. Don't disown it!
And isn't that the point of experimentation? Discovering something new? If we start out already knowing where we will end up, just how much of an adventure is that? Shouldn't life, and especially art, be this kind of adventure? How do we expect to find out new things, to grow, if all we've got is what we already know or can predict?
I'm not saying it isn't important to hone certain things and refine our directions, but surely that's not the only thing we should be doing? I remember the post you did from grad school when your profs told you to think about glazing that way and I was kind of confused. What ever happened to the mystery of the unknown? What about the value of serendipity? What about the sheer joys of discovery? It seems you can't get there if you don't give up at least a little control.
I guess everything in its place, but there should be at least some room for not knowing how things will turn out. Or maybe that's just me......

Marte set to make extended spring appearance
Marte set to make extended spring appearance
Marte, who had made the Opening Day roster before his injury sidelined him, is scheduled to return to game action at extended spring workouts Saturday in Lakeland, Fla. He'll continue to progress from there as long as he's healthy, but with nearly two months since his last outing, he'll need some time to build his arm strength.
Once Marte is ready to progress through the Tigers' developmental system, the team can send him out on a rehab assignment for up to 30 days before they would need to either bring him back to Detroit or option him to an affiliate. An extended spring workout doesn't count against a Minor League rehab assignment.
"I'm sure he'll be all right," manager Jim Leyland said. "He's just got to get on the mound and face some hitters."

Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, the master of the baritone, has passed away at the age of 82. The news of his death came from his own Facebook page on Thursday. No further details of his death were released except the mention of a memorial service for the musical legend which would be taking place in Los Angeles.
"It is with profound sorrow we report that legendary poet, songwriter and artist, Leonard Cohen has passed away. We have lost one of music's most revered and prolific visionaries. A memorial will take place in Los Angeles at a later date. The family requests privacy during their time of grief," the post on the Cohen's Facebook wall read.
Cohen's career lasted a remarkable 6 decades, ending only after his passing. Apart from his singing career, Cohen was also a poet and a novelist. He was also an aspiring Zen monk. What set him apart from other musicians was his ability to effortlessly blend sexuality with spiritual folk music. Many regard him as one of greatest folk musicians alongside Bob Dylan and R.E.M.
Cohen remained an active musician even towards the end. Just this year, on October 21, Cohen released his fourteenth album, You Want It Darker. Starting in 1956, Cohen's career roared in the 80's especially after the release of his timeless song Hallelujah from the album Various Positions in 1984. The song was praised by many but it wasn't until 1994, when Jeff Buckley did a cover of the soulful song and Hallelujah became popular across the world.
Cohen originally meant to be a poet but ended up with a musical career since his poetry didn't make him enough money. His career picked up during the folk music revival where he toured alongside Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez among others.
American singer Kris Kristofferson said that he wants his tombstone to read, "Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free," which are the opening lines to his hit song Bird on a Wire.
Apart from Hallelujah and Bird on a Wire, his songs, Suzanne, The Future and Sisters of Mercy remain to be his most memorable works.

Target! Our Walmart is gross! It is always filthy in there. Yuck! Target is always clean and the prices are either the same or less than what I would pay at Walmart.

What do you mean trash to collect there? I dont understand. Honest question!
Quoting BeckyP.:
I get most of my groceries at Walmart because of the prices but I only go at certain times to avoid the trash who tend to collect there, and you all know what I mean. I get snacks for the kids at Target though. Love their Archer Farms brand.
I like target for household items, like organizationial things, clothes, dishes, decorations, all that kind of stuff, and Walmart for car stuff, outdoor toys like bikes and for groceries.

text: The owners of the New Athens Grocery finally opened their taverna this week. The restaurant and the terrace have been packed ever since. The food is good basic greek food--lots of tasty appetizers, gyros, and the promise of octopus and grilled calamari. Deserts at the restaurant, as at the grocery, are terrific. The restaurant is BYO which can be fulfilled with greek wine from the grocery. Anyone else tried it?

"Good morning. You know, they say that the definition of insanity is to continue to do the same thing and expect a different result. And the President clearly seems to be trying to prove that true.
"Republicans care about American's health care. We want more affordable, quality health care for all Americans. We just don't care for this bill and neither do the American people. And it's time for us, it's time really for this President and the Majority in this Congress, to start listening to the American people.
"As we anticipate Thursday's discussion, there'll be no question as to where Republicans stand and it is on the side of the American people. It is with a much more commonsense, modest approach to reform health care, to bring down costs; not to transform our entire system and push it into a status where government has replaced the system that we know."

Tickets are now on sale to visit the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, which will open to the public May 1.
Visitors can go online — at bushcenter.org/plan-your-visit/visit-museum — to reserve a time slot. A limited number of tickets are set aside for walk-ups, but Bush Library officials recommend advance purchase in the first few months.
The public opening will be preceded by an April 25 dedication ceremony featuring former President George W. Bush and his wife, Laura, President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, and other dignitaries. But the center will really get up and running the following Wednesday.
Around 500,000 visitors are expected in the first year. The centerpiece is the exhibition hall, which has a full-scale replica of the Oval Office, the Texas Rose Garden, warped World Trade Center beams from 9/11 and several interactive elements.
Bush Library hours are 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Entry time slots are available in 15-minute increments. May through October dates are available, and others will be added as time goes on.
The website cautions that there will be no refunds or exchanges after tickets are purchased.
A standard adult ticket costs $16, though there are discounts for seniors, kids, college students and service members. Group tours feature admission at a lower price, and membership to the George W. Bush Presidential Center has some ticket benefits.
The Bush Center recently released a smartphone app with tips on parking, tickets and directions. The free app will also serve as an audio and video guide during museum visits and will help visitors navigate the complex. Most of those features kick in once the phone is inside the center.
Officials announced Wednesday that the George W. Bush Foundation had surpassed the $500 million fundraising mark even before the Bush Center has opened to the public.
The foundation — which paid for the center's construction and two multimillion-dollar endowments — long ago topped its initial $300 million goal. The nonprofit foundation had collected around $415 million by the end of 2011, according to its most recent financial report.
The foundation will continue to support the George W. Bush Institute, maintain the Bush Center grounds and cover other ongoing costs. The National Archives and Records Administration will operate and maintain the library and museum.

German automotive supplier Continental has planned to take over US rubber firm Veyance Technologies, but the deal has now come under assessment from the German cartel office.
According to a spokesman for the office, the in-depth analysis should be finished by August 25 and would investigate the future impact on the market of the deal, after in February Continental publicly announced it closed a deal to pay 1.4 billion euros ($1.92 billion) to acquire Veyance – with the German supplier aiming to further diversify its range of businesses.
According to Continental, which is both Europe's second largest auto supplier and tyre maker, 2014 should tally to the fifth consecutive year of record sales and profit, after last year's earnings surged on increased sales of parking-assistance systems and braking electronics.
After Veyance is purchased, the Ohio based company should boost profits and become a part of the ContiTech unit, which has around 29,700 employees and contributed to the parent company's total profits with sales of around 3.9 billion euros – or 12% – last year.

Rural area, farmland, grazing, countryside, end of the winter February in Holland 1pm.
It's very quiet here. Behind me some trees and bushes with a lake 'Haarsteegse wiel' and than a large polder, used as farmland, in front. You can see my gear standing there.
Some common tits (titmouse) singing, a crow, geese and a few other birds I do not know. The hum of far traffic and a tractor riding there.
Pick out your part for your film, movie or video
History about the 'Haarsteegse wiel' area
When a dike breaks, water runs into the polder and creates a 'wiel' (wheel) because of the whirlpool behind the dike. That is what happens 1610. An enormous ice-dam blocked the river Maas and the dike here broke. The power of the running water created the 'Haarsteegse wiel'. It happened again in 1740. The 'wiel' is 19 meter deep and the deepest in Holland.
History of the polder
Before the agricultural crisis in 1875 this land was use for cattle-breeding. Large numbers of pines and poplars were breed. In the 19th century hemp plantations came in. Not for the marijuana, but for industrial use. The made cords and cables and a lot of other things. Caused by the artificial manure corns came in during the 20th century. And now since 1970 it mainly maize.

As an employee of a foreign subsidiary working in the UK had options to buy shares(unapproved scheme) in the holding company which is resident in India. The employee is an Indian Domicile working in the UK for the subsidiary company for the last 5 years.
The holding company in India has been taken over and as such the employee has made a gain on these shares options and the sale proceeds have not been remitted to the UK. His employers in the UK, the subsidiary company has deducted tax on the sale procceds of the shares.
Is the employee entitle to any tax exemption from tax, due to Non Dom. And if anybody knows what are the tax implications here.
Please login or register to join the discussion.
I'm not sure Non Dom status is relevant
from what you have said.
It sounds like the employee was granted an unauthorised share option by virtue of his UK employment. The difference between the option price and the exercise price will therefore be liable to tax (and possibly) NIC's because they relate to his UK employment. If the shares were exercised and sold immediately as part of the take over, then the Exercise Price will be the same as the sale price and no Capital Gain arises. So it sounds like the employer has correctly deducted tax under PAYE as they are obliged to.
So I'm not sure that being a Non Dom has any relevance to the proceeds of the exercise of the option.
There may well be planning opportunities arising depending on your clients Residence and Non Dom status going forward though.
I hope this helps.

Former CIA Director R. James Woolsey, now a senior advisor at investment firm VantagePoint Venture Partners, called the issue of emission-free vehicles one of "national energy security" and asked the board to boost requirements for electric cars and plug-in hybrids. VantagePoint is an investor in plug-in hybrid maker Fisker Automotive Inc. Ze'ev Drori, chief executive of Tesla Motors Inc., maker of an electric car, argued for more rigorous standards. Because of the complicated workings of the mandate, his company stands to make money trading the credits it earns when it sells its vehicles.
"The only impediment to this is the parochial, self-interested agendas of the automakers," he said.
Al Weverstad, executive director for environment, energy and safety at GM, asked the board for special consideration for the Chevy Volt, which is in development. GM says the car will have a longer range than rival plug-in hybrids.
"We'd ask that you give us some additional credits," he said. The board granted that request, valuing extended-range plug-in hybrids above shorter-range models.
Robert Sawyer, former chairman of the air board, called for simplification. "We should return to a 'zero means zero,' simple, easy to enforce program," he said.

Anger for Love Part 3
Till on evening Santu comes in living room. At a time Toral comes back from her friend's house. Suraj & Birva also comes back from their school & tuitions. And Maulik & Hiten also comes soon from factory b'coz no more work over there. Santu was looking very week but still she welcomes all with sweet smile.
Every one come & sits on sofa of living room. Till now Santu was gated very high fever. But still she doesn't say abt this to any one. Then after some time Santu gets up form her place for going in to kitchen for preparing dinner.
When she was walking towards kitchen she feels like collapse. She places her one hand on her side forehead. Now she is abt to faint. At a time two hands comes around her for catches her. Santu is being unconscious. Those two hands were Dm's who catches Santu to fainted on the floor. Every one comes around SanRaj. Every one starts calling Santu as maa for make her awake.
Dm: ae Santudiii... ae Santudiii... ae Santudiii... , (Dm touches her cheeks then her forehead & he became shocked) what is this her body is heating like heated fried pan. Ae Hiten call the doctor.
Hiten: yes papa.
Hiten makes call to the doctor. Dm picks Santu in his arms & takes her in their room. When doctor came Santu was laid down on the bad still unconsciousness. Dm & every one was stand there around bad. Doctor checked Santu he puts thermometer in her mouth. Doctor finds the fever almost 102'. Then he gives injection to Santu.
Dm: what happened doctor? Is every thing is okay na?
Doc: don't worry Mr. Mahiyavanshi. I give her injection she will be all right & awake very soon. Actually she was having 102' high fever. Is she (Santu) was eaten some food from morning?
Dm: I don't know I was not here (then looks at Champu) ae Champakali, Is she (Santu) was eaten some food from morning?
Champu: (scarring) yes malik, malkin was eaten but didn't take her lunch properly or nor break fast.
Dm: but why?
Champu: (still scarring) I don't know malik.
Doc: okay then Mr. Mahiyavanshi. I give u some medicine first u feed her some food & after that gives this medicine to her. (Doctor gives some medicine to Dm & he takes it.)
Dm: and anything alas doctor?
Doc: no, nothing. She just need some rest & she will be all right very soon u don't worry.
At a time Santu comes in her conscious. Doctor sees at Santu.
Doc: ohh!!! Mrs. Mahiyavanshi Now how r u feels?
Santu: much better then before. (Still having little unconsciousness)
Doc: okay then Mr. Mahiyavanshi I m taking leave u just take care of her.
Dm: sure & thank u.
Maulik takes the bag & goes with Doctor for living her at out side. Dm is in his full of anger & Santu looks at Dm she became scare even every one was scare. Dm puts his both hand on his waist.
Dm: aee Champakali, go takes the kids (Birva & suraj) in their room. U go in kitchen & prepares the dinner (in his angry voice).
Champu: yes malik.
Champu takes leaves from there immediately with kids. Dm looks angrily at Hiral. But Dm doesn't say anything.
Hiten: papa' (Before he complete Dm stops him.)
Dm: (angrily) shut ur mouth I don't want to heir any thing from u.
Santu: malik' (Before she complete Dm also stops her.)
Dm: u don't try to take their side. (Then looking at Hiral) What u was said to me "u don't worry papa we will take care of maa. We will not give any chance to u for complain" now I seen how u takes care of ur maa. (Hiral looks at down) she is ill so much but here there is no one who one knows abt it. I think I had made mistake to give u this responsibility.
Toral: papa I know we done a very big mistake maa was r responsibility but we didn't succeed to fulfill r responsibility we r very sorry plz forgives us.
Hiten: yes papa Toral says right we r very sorry.
Santu: Hiten, Toral why u r asking for sorry. It was not ur mistake it was my fault I was feeling like fever from morning but my flute is I didn't tells this to anyone & didn't takes the medicine that's why I became ill this much. (Then looking at Dm) malik, plz forgives them it's not their mistake.
Dm: now let it go' (To looking at Hiral) u both go from here.
Hiral takes leaves from there without saying anything b'coz Dm was still in anger.
Dm: (looking at Santu asking in full of anger) and u, u r Dafford & u will be Dafford for life time. U tells me that u will take care of ur self then why u didn't takes care. Why u didn't say to anyone or didn't take the medicine when u feels like fever and more on that u didn't takes ur launch properly right. God know when u will change.
After hearing this Santu became upset she fall her eyes down. Dm leaves the room in his anger. Santu eyes filled with tears.

Love just Love Part 4
Dm goes in to his study room sits on his chair. After some time when Dm's anger is comes down. He feels him self very guilty for shouting at Santu. He thinks "Santu was ill & this time she needs me but what I done nothing then shouting on her. I hurts Santu so much b'coz of my unnecessary anger.
He thinks "why I can't control on my anger b'coz of this she always hurts. Now I should have to apologize her." After this he leaves study room for going in to his room. He sees Toral with plate of meal. He stops her.
Dm: Toral dikra this is for whom? (Indicates to the plate)
Toral: papa, this is for maa.
Dm: okay, is u all had Ur dinner?
Toral: no papa not yet.
Dm: okay then u call every one for dinner & give this plate to me I feed this to Santu.
Toral nods her head & gives the plate to Dm. then she goes from there with smile & thinks tank god papa's anger being cold now no worries he will take cares of maa nicely. Dm starts walking towards his room with food's plate. Dm reached at his room. He sees that Santu was laid on bad by showing her back to door.
She was looks like sleep but she was not sleep. Santu realized Dm presence in room she wipes her tears. But she didn't move she is still act like sleep. Dm comes in & closes the door. He sits on the bad by getting egged & puts plate on table which is near the bad.
Dm: Santu (he calls her in very smooth voice).
Santu didn't replay. Still she acts like sleep.
Dm: ae Santu I know u didn't sleep yet. I just want to talk to u.
After hearing him Santu gets up on bad & sits by getting egged of the bad next to Dm. but she didn't see at Dm she was looking at down only.
Dm: I know u was hurt when I was shouted on u. it's one husband's duties when his wife is ill he have to take care of her, gives her lots of love, he have to stay with her but what I done… (He looks down b'coz fells him self very guilty & now Santu looks at him). What ever I done I am sorry for it.
Santu: no malik, (taking his one hand in her both hand & grip it tightly) u really didn't need to say this. I know I understand u when u r in ur anger u don't know what r u saying, u just say what r in ur heart by this u just takes out ur anger & then nothing is remaining in ur heart besides love. And also I know this that u became angry on me just b'coz u can't see me in pain.& I know this also very well that when u see me in pain then u have double pain then me(ya I m copied from show). And u shouts me b'coz of my mistake. U have right to shout on me, u have right to punish me on my mistakes malik & for that u never needs to say me sorry at all.
Dm smiles saliently.
Dm: what will I do if I m not smile u know every time I fells u know me u more then my self How can u do this? How cans u understands my feelings without my saying. How?
Santu: like that only that u can feel my pain & this is called love right and also says that love connects not just two live but tow souls & when one soul feels something then how it can be possible that her connected soul can't understands it.
Santu says this entire thing with salient smile of her face. Dm is being little sad.
Dm: can't u fell any pain?
Santu: yes I feel pain when u doesn't talk to me. I feel pain when u doesn't share ur sadness with me. I feel pain when I see tears in ur eyes. I feel pain when u goes away form me. & I feel much pain when I see these entire things to happen but I can't do anything.
Now SanRaj's eyes filled with tears.
Dm: don't love me this much. What happen when I will go away from u for forever?
Santu puts her palm on Dm's mouth for make him stop. Dm very lovingly removes her palm from his mouth with his hand.
Dm: aree Dafford this is the biggest truth of life one day we all have to go u, me & all. Our lives our togetherness is just infatuation just a dream.
Santu: if our lives our togetherness is just infatuation or dream then let me live in this infatuation in this dream malik. Don't break it till to my last breathe of my life malik b'coz this is my life & I want to live my life. And I m praying to khodiyar maa that when ever this infatuation this dream will break make that moment as my life's last moment.
Dm scares after hearing Santu's last words. He puts his both palms on Santu's cheeks. They are having painful eyelock here. Dm slowly wipes her tears with his thumps. Santu hugs Dm tightly & Dm wrapped her in his arms more tightly SanRaj closes their eyes. (at back ground)
Zindagi do pal ki,
zindagi do pal ki
Intezaar kab tak hum karenge balah
Tumhe pyaar kab tak na karenge balah
Zindagi do pal ki… Zindagi do pal ki…
After sometime Dm is wipes his tears with his hand. Dm leaves Santu from his arms. Now they are facing each other.
Dm: aee Santudiii (wiping her tears) now let's stop crying. Doctor said after taking dinner & medicine u have to take rest. It's for ur health. (Taking plate of meal in his hand from table placed in front of Santu So now u eats this.)
Dm cut one bite of roti deeps it in bhaji places it front of santu's mouth & Santu smiles she also cut one bite of roti deeps it in bhaji places it front of Dm's mouth. Dm smiles
Dm: okay then let's eat together.
Both eat their bites together. SanRaj completes their dinner. Then Dm gives medicine & glass of water to Santu. Santu takes her medicine. Then Dm opens the door & shouts for Champu.
Dm: aee Champakali.
Champu goes to SanRaj room. She reached at SanRaj room.
Champu: malik…
Dm: yes come in.
Champu comes in & sees SanRaj is sited on bad.
Champu: yes malik u calls me.
Dm: yes takes this empty plate.
Champu: malik can I get meal for u.
Dm: no, I had my dinner.
Santu: Champa is every one had their dinner?
Champu: yes malkin. How is Ur health now?
Santu: I m okay now. Lesion don't allow to Suraj & Birva to watch more TV at late night. Make them sleep on right time other wise both will became late tomorrow for go to school.
Champu: yes malkin.
Santu: and yes by remembering put one-one glass of hot milk in Hiten & Maulik's room b'coz without drinks it they can't sleep.
Champu: yes. (With smile)
Santu: and yes don't forget to give morning ginger tea to Toral otherwise her head will pain for whole day.
Champu: yes sure.
Santu: and…(before completing Dm entraps).
Dm: and this she will do all things & u takes rest. (In little frustrated look.) She is not new she is living in this house from past so many years. U don't worry she will take care of every thing.
Santu shuts didn't say any thing.
Champu: okay malik, I m going.
Dm: yes go.
Champu takes the plate & goes out from the room. Dm wakes up from bad & goes to close the door. After closing door he comes to back to sit on bad. He sits…
Dm: (looking at Santu) how many times I told u take to rest don't take tensions but u didn't lesion me.
Santu smiles to looking at Dm. Dm see this…
Dm: now what is in this to smile?
Santu: b'coz I feel gud.
Dm: what u fells gud in this?
Santu: (with cute smile) to see this that u r taking so much care of me.
To see Santu's cute smile Dm also smiles saintly.
Dm: yes okay, come let's sleep.
Santu comes little
down & laid on bad. Dm leans the blank quite on her. He also sleeps on one
side as putting facing next to her. Then Dm kisses Santu's forehead very
lovingly. Santu takes his one hand in her hand. Dm is still looking at her very
lovingly. After some time both falls in sleep while looking at each other.

The reason for this behavior is that we can't tell beforehand how you want to deal with your masked values: should a masked value be considered True ? False ? So, when you want to do something like: > mask[mask<0] = numpy.ma.masked just do: mask[(mask<0).filled(True)] = numpy.ma.masked That way, you're masking the values of mask that are negative, and keep the masked values as masked.

Barea leads T-Wolves to 101-97 win over Nuggets
By PAT GRAHAM
Associated Press
DENVER — Not even a sprained finger to their All-Star forward could spoil this win for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
And it definitely made up for the clunker they turned in the night before — as much as it can, anyway.
J.J. Barea scored 12 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter while Kevin Love sat on the bench with an injured finger, lifting Minnesota to a 101-97 win over the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night.
The Timberwolves were playing for the second straight night, but fatigue hardly appeared to be a factor as they handed the Nuggets a rare home loss.
"Awesome," Barea said. "We came in ready today."
The Nuggets? Not so much.
Denver looked lethargic two days after snapping the Los Angeles Clippers' 17-game winning streak.
That bothered coach George Karl — a lot.
"We gave one away tonight," said Karl, whose team drops to 10-2 at home this season. "It wasn't our defense, it was our lackadaisical effort, our urgency, like this game doesn't mean as much as the Clippers game."
The contest went back and forth in the final quarter before Luke Ridnour gave the Timberwolves the lead for good on a 3-pointer with 2:43 remaining. Barea then followed with another 3 to cement the win.
"It was good to hit some shots. We've been struggling to hit shots as a team," Ridnour said. "To be able to get going like that feels good."
Especially with Love only able to watch after leaving with a sprained finger on his right hand in the third quarter. Love broke the same hand in October, missing the opening nine games of the season, and has struggled to get on track with his jumper ever since.
On the play in which he was injured, Love appeared to be sliding past a Nuggets player in the lane when he suddenly clutched at his hand before heading into the training room. Love had 12 points and 17 rebounds in nearly 24 minutes.
He later returned to the bench to support his teammates.
"He said he could have played, but he couldn't shoot," coach Rick Adelman said.
The Nuggets may have been more flustered by the loss of Love than the Timberwolves. The quickness of Ridnour and Barea gave Denver fits.
"I think Minnesota at times plays better without Love," Karl said. "They're kind of a machine-like offense. They give guys different opportunities. But they're pretty good."
No one more than Barea, who found his touch late in the game.
"I got on a good rhythm there and kept attacking," he said. "It worked out for us."
Did it ever and makes what happened in Utah all the more puzzling. The Timberwolves were blown out 106-84 in a rather uninspiring effort.
"You're going to have a couple of games a year like we did in Utah," Ridnour explained. "You just don't want to have too many of them. Fortunately, everybody bounced back today. We got a big win in a really tough place to play."
Despite the loss, it was a big night for the usually modest Andre Miller, who scored the 15,000th point of his career on a mid-range jumper in the first quarter. He became only the eighth player to reach that scoring plateau while also compiling 7,500 career assists. Oscar Robertson, Gary Payton, John Stockton, Isiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash also accomplished the feat.
In typical Miller fashion, the 36-year-old downplayed the approaching milestone before the game.
"A big individual accomplishment … I try not to dwell on it," said Miller, who finished with 11 points and 10 assists. "I never even thought about it. It's good to get it over with."
Miller started the game in place of Ty Lawson, who's still recovering from a strained left Achilles tendon. Lawson sat out Tuesday when the Nuggets beat the Clippers and has been bothered by tightness in the tendon for the past week.
The speedy point guard provided a spark off the bench against Minnesota — the first time in nearly two years that Lawson entered a game as a reserve. He and Kosta Koufos each finished with 16 points for Denver.
The Timberwolves were without point guard Ricky Rubio, who has been dealing with back spasms and remained in Minnesota during the two-game swing through Utah and Denver. The team is being cautious with Rubio, who is coming back from a torn ACL in his left knee. Minnesota hopes to have Rubio back Saturday against Portland.

BEYERDYNAMIC T 51 i
Portable Tesla Hi-Fi headset with Apple-certified smartphone remote and mic, closed.
» Mer om produktet
Like its sibling T 51 p, the focus for design of the T 51 i is delivering unrivalled sound quality. With new and improved drivers the headphones deliver in an inspiring way – right from the first moment. A particularly deep bass response and transparent, clear highs are apparent from the T 51 i due to the common properties that make all Tesla headphones so special: high efficiency and low distortion. The result: a clear, powerful sound across the entire frequency range, even at low levels. The closed design of the T 51 p also isolates external noise very effectively.
Further information about Tesla Technology .
Being an officially licenced product, you can be sure, that the T 51 i works smoothly on your iPod, iPhone or iPad. With the three-button remote and mic, you can use your T 51 i to control calls and media playback. All functions (except the volume up and down) work on other current smartphones and tablet computers as well, including most current Android devices. Not campatible with Windows smartphones and tablet computers..
The shiny beyerdynamic logo on the housing caps stands in sharp contrast with the brushed metal surfaces of the ear-cups. The cable has also been improved to be more stable and has a satin finish which results in less cable noise. A light champagne tone lends the headphones a very elegant appearance and raises the T 51 p above the plastic monotony of most – even more expensive – headphones with its all-metal construction.
With its metal fully-adjustable headband and swivelling earcups the T 51 i fits perfectly on your head and confirms beyerdynamic's long-established reputation for producing headphones with excellent wearing comfort. The ear pads made of super-soft synthetic leather fit the contour of the outer ear thanks to its viscoelastic filling (a memory foam).
Thanks to the swivelling earcups the T 51 i folds up compactly and fits in the included rugged nylon carry case. A high-quality 6.35 mm adapter is included for listening on premium hi-fi equipment or headphone amplifiers, an airplane adapter is also included so you can enjoy a superior experience of in-flight entertainment.

Safetyby: Chris Cambell
For most of us the word "safety" has a deeply personal meaning. For some, a "safety" is a way our favorite football team can get 2 points. For others of us still living in the Eighties, "Safety Dance" is a song that brings a wave of nostalgia. However, for new and veteran customizers alike, safety mean keeping all of your body parts where they belong and unharmed.
A customizer's most effective tool is awareness. Be aware of your limitations and the limitations of the supplies and tools that you utilize. Below you will find a few "safety" tips for the kinds of supplies and tools that you will commonly use…
- Safety glasses
- Rubber gloves
- Leather gloves
- Sturdy work table
- Dust mask/Respirator
- Bandages
X-acto knives, pins, needles, razor blades, scissors, craft saws:
These items are typically very sharp and some are not very sturdy. When using x-acto knives, razor blades, or craft saws remember that the force that you exert on the tool HAS to go somewhere. Blades, handles, and the plastic items we cut all break and that usually means a sudden release of that force…right into a hand or thigh. Heavy work gloves are not great for delicate work, but are recommended for any cutting involving major muscles…whether that means inserting pins and needles or cutting heavy plastic. Work gloves are not a replacement for being aware of the limitations of your tools and yourself.
Hand tools: Pliers, hammers, screwdrivers…
We use them for a variety of tasks from cracking open torsos to taking apart vehicles for customizing. Just like the sharp instruments listed above, we often exert massive amount of force upon these tools to achieve our desired results. Hammers smash fingers and damage other more solid objects. Screwdrivers can slip and stick into you…just ask a prison inmate. Pliers, both the regular and needle nose varieties, can pinch the living daylights out of your skin. Use caution when exerting force on any hand tool. Exercise awareness and control.
Epoxies and resins:
Most, if not all, two-part epoxies and resins "heat up" chemically in order to "cure" into their hardened state. This can burn you severely…and it sticks to you like stink on a hog. Always follow the safety recommendations on all resin and epoxy packages regarding ventilation, contact with skin, and emergency procedures for ingestion. Also, these substances will bond with just about anything including tables, floors, tools, and your favorite customs… Be Careful!
Dremels, drills, and other rotary tools:
I cannot say enough about being safe and aware when using any type of power tool…regardless of relative horsepower or rpm. They can cause horrible damage to your body when misused. Always make sure of the surface upon which you are working…a stable worktable is a necessity. Do not drill through an item unless you are sure of what is on the other side. Wear protective goggles or glasses while dremeling or sanding as dust and larger particles can enter your eyes and cause much pain and damage. Make sure you store and use your tools according to manufacturer's recommendations.
Paints, thinners, acetone:
Most of us use waterbase acrylics and thin with water. Basically you just have to be careful not to get any on your clothes. However, there are many types of paints and thinners that are flammable and can be toxic when ingested. Hazardous fumes are also often associated with certain types of paint, especially spray paints, making the indoor use of them not recommended. Acetone is a chemical that dissolves…so treat it with respect and clean up any spills immediately and carefully. All of these substances have recommended manners in which to store and use them. Just be aware of what they are and follow them.
Super and other glues:
Super glue, regardless of brand name, is indeed just that…super. It will solidly glue your flesh to any number of surfaces including your own flesh. In many cases, the only recourse is the Emergency Room and a scalpel. Ouch! Be aware of how much glue is necessary for your bonding needs…and how much comes out of the tube when you squeeze! Often the nozzles get blocked with dried glue…DO NOT attempt to squeeze the blockage out!! You will have yourself, work area, tools, and custom covered in an almost impossible to remove substance. Use a toothpick or needle to remove the blockage carefully. Store the glue tubes in a spill-proof container between uses just in case. (Shawn Kelley adds:) One product you may want to buy is CA Debonder. This product dissolves cured CA glue. That's right, it takes the "super" out of superglue. It's like Kryptonite, but is a lot easier to find and actually exists.
The bottom line is this: "The more time you spend recuperating from a customizing injury, the less time you have to customize." You can't customize as well with all of your fingers bandaged up…it's a fact. Be careful and happy customizing!!

Annie's Mailbox: Sister is a mean, lying drunk
February 26, 2010
Dear Annie: I adore my husband of 20 years, and we have the best kids on earth. The problem? My parents. My older sister is divorced and has several small children. She also is an alcoholic and a horribly toxic person.
In the past few years, "Hettie" has pulled several stunts where her drinking has put herself and her children in extreme danger. She insists she is sober, but I know from several reliable sources that she is not. She won't admit that her cheating and drinking drove her husband away, and she has my parents snowed into thinking it was all his fault. She swindled her ex and my parents out of enough money to net her a nice income, yet she twists everything so that she comes out the victim.
I do not allow my teenagers to baby-sit for her or get in her car because she allows strange men in her home and drives drunk. She only calls when she wants something, and if I don't drop everything (I work full time), she screams at me.
My parents believe I am a horrible person because I don't buy in to Hettie's lies or give her money. I've tried to help in the past, and it brought nothing but trouble. She is a mean, lying drunk. My parents say I need to look past this because she is "family." I cannot deal with the drama anymore. I am cordial to Hettie, but won't make her our charity poster child like my parents do.
I have done my best, but I am still the "disappointing daughter." Last year, their intense disapproval sent me into the hospital with a major anxiety attack. Talking to them doesn't help. This is breaking my heart.
— Refuse to be an Enabler
Recommended Stories For You
Dear Refuse: Your parents have blinders on when it comes to Hettie. Accepting that she is a "mean, lying drunk" makes them fear it's their fault, and that is why they blame you instead. You cannot change the way they think, but you can change how you deal with it. If you need help, get some counseling to learn better coping skills.
Dear Annie: I have repeatedly told my daughter to remove her things from my home because we no longer have room for them, but it does no good. We plan on moving soon and cannot take along 10 boxes of our daughter's books and clothes. She lives out of the country and visits two or three times a year. Each time she visits, she buys more than she can possibly take back and leaves the rest here. It is prohibitively expensive to ship boxes of books to her. What do we do?
— Out-of-Space Mom
Dear Mom: Notify your daughter that you will pack up her things and put them in a storage facility for six months or until her next visit, whichever comes first. After that, you will stop paying storage fees. She can then decide whether she wants to keep paying the fees herself, ship the items to her current location, sell them or make other arrangements that don't involve you. The important thing is that you stick to your guns.

Sean Sherk All Access Workout
I saw this on spike and I just now saw they posted this on MMAweekly.com.. Got to admit, this guy is a beast.
Originally Posted by

If you didn't see the latest UFC All Access about Sean Sherk on Spike TV, you missed a helluva show. I've been around the block a few times, and I've seen (and done) a lot of training. I'm not lying nor exaggerating when I say that the workout(s) that Sherk did on All Access were some of the toughest I've ever seen. If you haven't seen it, then you'd better watch the replay. It'll be well worth your time.
Here is a brief rundown of what Sherk did on All Access:
Grappling: 9 rounds @ 5 mins each, 45 secs rest
(Yeah, you saw that right. Not 3 rounds or 5 rounds, but NINE. Sherk rotates through 4-6 partners so that he's constantly rolling with somebody fresh.)
Striking/Muay Thai: 5 rounds @ 5 mins each, 60 secs rest
Caveman Training: 2x/week, 5 rounds @ 5 mins each, 60 secs rest
(This was varied odd object training which included tire flips, sledgehammer strikes, crawling upside down on a suspended cable, tornado ball work, plyometric pushups, ab wheel, bear crawls, cable-resisted punches on a heavybag, lateral shuffling on all fours, time on the air dyne bike and upper body ergometer, and more.)
Striking/Focus Mitts w/Takedowns: 2x/week, 9 rounds @ 5 min rounds
(Sherk would hit the focus mitts in combinations and then shoot in for a takedown. This was repeated for the entire round without rest. Notice again, that he's going for NINE rounds.)
Weight Training: 4x/week, 2 body parts/day, supersets done throughout
(On a side note, this does vary slightly from the article that was printed a few months ago in Muscle & Fitness. Everything is the same for the most part, save for the fact that the M&F article stated that Sherk trained with weights 6x/week not 4x.)
Stairs: 16 flights @ 13 stairs/flight, 8 trips up
(This is roughly equivalent to 128 stories. Sometimes Sherk does Farmer's Walk with two dumbbells up the stairs. Between trips, he does rows with resistance tubing and dumbbell curls as active rest. Sometimes he skips the stairs and just crawls up the side of the hill they're on, which seems to be almost vertical.)
I dont know about you, but I'm tired just typing all that...
*drinks protein shake*
After the show aired, of course, many of the Internet (MMA and strength/conditioning) forums and boards were ablaze with discussion. The show brought up a ton of comments and discussions ranging from overtraining, to possible drug use, to effectiveness, to whether or not that much strength/conditioning work was really even necessary, and a lot more. I'm going to address some of these items here.
More than once, I saw questions about whether or not Sherk was overtraining by doing that much work. Of course I've never trained with Sherk, nor do I know him. But from what I see, Sherk is more than likely not overtraining.
You see, Sherk has been training and competing in sports since a very young age. He has led a very, very active lifestyle for quite a number of years. Because of this, Sherk is bound to have built up a huge work capacity (work capacity is basically your gas tank for all physical activities you perform in your life just how much physical movement is your body capable of). This means he can do more work (and recover) than most people.
Sherk is a very highly trained professional, who takes his job as a fighter very seriously. As such, he is also sure to get plenty of rest and fuel his body with good, clean, nutrient and vitamin-rich foods. As he said in the show, I don't eat for taste I eat for performance. These things increase his recovery rate, thereby decreasing his recovery time. This means he can do more work.
Don't think, though, that you can jump into this much training. Just because Sherk can do it, doesn't mean you can. If you dedicate yourself with years of hard work and discipline, you may be able to, so don't think it's impossible. Just don't think that you can jump into it with both feet, though.
I have no idea if Sherk uses any sort of performance enhancing drugs and I will make no claim that he does or does not. Some have commented, however, that based on the sheer work volume Sherk performs, and with the intensity Sherk seems to perform it with, would indicate that he is on something other than legal supplements. Based on these two characteristics, I'd say one has no way of telling whether or not Sherk uses. So, quit saying he does when you don't really know.
If you can't tell by looking at Sherk and his fights that what he does works for him, then you're blind, a fool, or somebody who just doesn't like the Muscle Shark.
Could his program be better? Sure, Sherk is not a perfect person and virtually anything can stand some amount of improvement. Does that mean his program could stand a lot of improvement? I don't think so. I think Sherk's results speak for themselves.
I've seen quite a few people say that he shouldn't do that much strength/conditioning work and that he should spend more time on technique and/or skills training. I'll put it like this, at the time I'm writing this article Sherk is the UFC Lightweight Champion of the world. He's only lost twice in his career (to Matt Hughes and Georges St-Pierre, both of which are former champions and both losses in a higher weight class). He was the first to take Hughes the distance in a fight and took Hughes down multiple times (something that had never been done before). As for his lightweight championship fight, to say that he only beat Kenny Florian is a joke and highly discredits Florian's abilities as a fighter. As an aside, Sherk also sustained a shoulder injury in the fight.
I don't want to turn this into a nuthugging (excuse the term) article. But to think that Sherk hasn't had a very successful career is crazy. Sherk's strength/conditioning program has helped him to have that career.
Is All That Training Really Necessary?
There is no blanket answer to that question. For Sherk, he believes it is and his results show that it's paying off.
For the rest of us (i.e. fans of the sport and those not fighting at the elite level), that much work probably isn't optimal. It would not only be hard to do and recover from, but most of us wouldn't have the time to get that much work in.
What most of us would be better served doing is taking many of the principles and/or ideas from what Sherk does and scaling it down to our own needs, capabilities, time, facilities, etc. For example, my Working Class Fitness The Programs was designed with many of the same sort of principles in mind. Program #1 for instance (you can get a two week trial at my site for free), utilizes strength and power training, sandbag work, and density conditioning. This could serve the same principles as Sherk's weight training, Caveman Training, and stairs.
That is just one example. There are literally endless ways to do it. One thing to think about is to simply reduce the volume that Sherk does. The Striking/Focus Mitts w/Takedowns work might really serve your training well. Instead of 9 rounds @ 5 mins/round, you might only need to do 3-4 rounds. Or, you could do 5 rounds @ 3 mins/round.
Whatever you end up doing, there is one thing of Sherk's that we could all stand to emulate and that is his intensity, drive and work ethic. You might say that there are bigger, stronger, faster, more conditioned, more technically sound, or whatever guys out there, but you'd be hard pressed to find a harder worker.

I saw a good bit of that. It was impressive. Hell, in his weight routine I saw a few things I want to try.
He was doing this sort of prone dumbell row where he looked to be in a pushup position while rowing with one dumbell. Shit, that seems like a good way to work the core. I'm gonna check that out (i love this kind of stuff in general).

That is also done with kettle bells and is a lot harder because you have to balance yourself on the ball at the same time. Great for grip strength.

ELON � With the recent passage of the town of Elon�s budget for fiscal year 2014-15, a handful of residents have questioned Elon University�s financial contribution to the fire department and asked whether it�s adequate.
The Elon Fire Department responded to 216 fire calls from Elon University in 2013, or nearly half of all of its fire calls.
The university makes a $60,000 contribution to the fire department, totaling 10 percent of the department�s volunteer budget. Dan Anderson, vice president of university communications, said the university will increase that annual amount to $70,000 in 2015 and to $80,000 in 2017.
Anderson also pointed to other monetary contributions to the town for fiscal year 2014-15, including more than $14,000 in property taxes, $18,500 in lieu of property taxes, and three other cost-sharing projects totaling more than $105,000. And in the last fiscal year, the university contributed more than $460,000 for various sidewalk improvements.
Elon University has made a monetary contribution to the fire department for many years, Elon Fire Chief Eddie King said, and that has increased drastically within the last decade.
Most of the fire alarms at Elon University, he said, stem from students cooking in the dorms.
�I don�t know if they don�t have the training to cook,� King said. �They are young people, and they make mistakes, everything from microwaving a hot dog to leaving things on the stove and walking away and not paying attention.�
Any type of smoke, and even steam from a hot shower, can set the alarms off, he said. The main area the department responds to is the residential Danieley Center, he said.
�We are constantly trying to educate students in the situation,� King said. �We will talk to the people about what they did wrong and try and fix that.�
Each time the fire department responds to a call, it can cost anywhere from $500 to $1,300, King said, adding it also costs the Gibsonville Fire Department and the Altamahaw-Ossipee Fire Department to respond as mutual aide.
�It�s a dance,� King said. �We say we have a problem and (determine) what our options are in trying to facilitate that problem and get it corrected. We don�t want to get into monetary fines, but at some point when you have the same alarm in the same building in the same rooms going off, that has got to be addressed.�
Anderson said the university holds educational sessions with students to make sure they don�t set the alarms off when they are cooking.

They quickly find themselves fighting to defend the building from German troops led by Peter Kahn (Thomas Kretschmann).

"Majestic!...readers of THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS...will find THE SILMARILLION a cosmology to call their own...medieval romances, fierce fairy tales and fiercer wars that ring with heraldic fury...it overwhelms the reader."
TIME Those interested in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth should not be without this grand volume that tells the tragic tale of the struggle for control of the Silmarils, a struggle that would determine the history of the world long before the War of the Ring.
J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy novel The Silmarillion (1977), published four years after his death, continued the saga of the mythological kingdom of Middle-Earth, begun in his epic trilogy Lord of the Rings. Christopher Tolkien, son of the English novelist and medievalist, here reconstructs the evolution of The Silmarillion using his father's manuscripts and notes and adding his own extensive commentaries and annotations. Picking up where this massive study left off, he reprints the entire text of the unfinished Grey Annals (begun around 1930, reworked in the 1950s, and largely incorporated in The Silmarillion). Amid momentous battles and heroic deeds, we learn how Hurin the Steadfast, released after 28 years of captivity in Morgoth's fortress, journeys among the forest people of Brethril, spreading disaster, and follow the exploits of his son Turin Turambar and daughter Nienor. Included also are J.R.R. Tolkien's discussion of his characters' motives, his detailed maps of imaginary realism, and his essays on the origins and meanings of elvish words and the Dwarves' elaborate gestural language. For hard-core Tolkien devotees and scholars.

India's Y2K woes
Fears have been raised of severe power disruption
One of India's largest private companies has warned that the country is insufficiently prepared to take on the millennium bug.
Hindustan Lever, part of the Unilever group, took out advertisements in Indian newspapers on Wednesday to warn of the dangers faced by the country's public utility companies - particularly power.
The company included the warning in its quarterly financial results, which were published in major national newspapers.
It said industrial production could be severely disrupted if the power and telecommunications sectors failed to gain Y2K compliance in time.
A US State Department official is reported to have raised similar concerns.
"Most worrisome is the presently largely unknown vulnerability of the ocean shipping sector and the 70% of the electrical power industry that is under the control of the state electricity boards, large parts of which are only beginning basic inventories and assessments," State Department Inspector-General Jacquelyn Williams-Bridges told a US senate Y2K committee.
The main worry is in India's creaky power distribution system, which is handled by local state electricity boards (SEBs).
While some of them are said to be taking steps to reach compliance, others are reported to be lagging far behind.
"The problem with the power industry is that it is controlled by the SEBs in individual states rather than a single, centralised force, and some states are at different levels when it comes to Y2K compliance," said a senior director of the Confederation of Indian Industry.
Fears of a major disruption in power supply are also based on the fact that all the Indian states are interlocked in a power grid. Problems in one state could, therefore, easily affect the entire system.
The Indian Government set up a task force to look into the millennium bug problem only in the middle of 1998. But business leaders are reported to have lobbied hard with the government to take the problem more seriously.
