Divakar has real talent and my vote goes to him
According to me the Judges are doing very well from their part, so pls stop commenting on thier judgement and if they give a biased judgement they would have not reached those heights .if this statement hurts or pinpoints anyone than I really apologise for that .
Hi Sonia,
now u r no more a kid to cry in such a big competition, and after winning a competetion in Kerala this kind of attitude is very kiddesh and now we want our Tamil Contestants to win who ,who have never felt the joy of success
don't worry sonia,,
Yes I agree Parvathi shouldn't sit in top 4 she knows herself this- Sonia is way better than Sonia and she is brave enough to take challenging song even her throat was off. Hey Judges what you guys are thinking non sense – it is not realty show it is already been decided who is getting the final prize by some political person looks like – why can't Vijay TV change OMG crapy. And they are scrutinizing Sonia's maraindirundae parkum as if she did big mistake but when you hear this Parvathy's song even a normal person can find lot of issues but crapy judges can't find anything are you kidding guy- you think people watching this show are dumb – stop this nonsense and do your best especially Srinivas and Sujatha they are the worst judges please send them out
dont worry sonia. you will come back wildcard round.only 2 person can win this competition. one person diwakar and another person you. i will pray to god give to u good voice. you are only singer can sing to all kind of songs in top5 contestents. god bless u.
Sonia had a wonderful and a beautiful voice much better than other contestants. Why did you eliminate her?
im looking forward to see her in finals… x
Don't Worry sonia,sure come pack give the pest performance in the wildcard round.thank u so match.
The whole judgement is very biased. Singers who do not have any classical background are in top 3 is unbelievable. To be a super singer requires versatility in each genre. I question the judges of super singer if they are taking unbiased decision. The decision of A.R. Rehman choosing Parvati as best singer is also not justified. Parvathi has a beautiful melodious voice but she does not have any clarity in her vibrations. She does not have a high scale also. Super singer has to be chosen properly. Otherwise, this whole thing is a joke. The viewers who have been watching all these episodes are a joke too. Sonia has been too good for this competition and hence has been voted off. Best of luck to Sonia.
hey Bavhana….you have announced Sonia's exit as reading out an obituary notice of somebody's sudden demise.
!And adding salt to injury Pathos music was broadcasted.My dear….!There is no guarantee for the final winner to become a playback singer and who were not successful to remain in the backdrop.Only those classically trained can go forward in playback singing.Sonia is one of them.Her broken marriage….with all that she had the courage to compete.Yes her bad throat was a deterrent factor.As I ha d mentioned in my earlier comments…it is we the viewers who are the real judges.Technicalities are irrelevant to us.At least the Malayaleese should be greatfull to Thamilians for being tolerant and encouraging Malayaleese despite the rash treatment meted to Thamilians by the Malayaleese.
Don't worry Sonia darling, take care ur voice and come to the wildcard round. I will pray to the god and give good voice to Sonia.
Sonia can go to kerala. Tamil person should win the title. Will they allow tamil people. Simply acting.
We are INDIANS.Why are you saying like thiS?Sonia do well in the wildcard.See this is not war in between two countries.This is competition between young talented people.please try to understand.If you couldn't encourage all children,please atleast don't hurt anyone.all the best for other 4 children.
Actually Sonia should have won as she is versatile. It was because of her bad throat. Inspite of that she chose difficult songs, as she does always. Syed always sings only A.R.Rahman Songs and choose only songs of fast numbers or shouting ones. He seldom attempts melody and other composers' songs. He is not versatile.
Don't worry sonia she will come wildcard
post the source2 guys..
Don't worry Sonia darling, take care ur voice and come to the wildcard round. I will pray to the god and give good voice to Sonia.
pragathi in india why she is not coming vijay tv visiting why why why
Yes ! It is true. Luck played a lot for Seyed. Very bad voice with average singing talent he came in to top five.
nice to see u ninja,,,,,,, i am big fan of u…………..
helo sonia, dont worry, u will be back and rackagain. as judges told u voice is more precious and u have to take care of it.pl donot worry, take care and come back with ur most unique and beautuful voice.
Why these have to come here ….let our tamilian kids win n take the pride.they hv their own in Kerala competition
It's ok she can go back to Kerala n sing win.
I am 100% sure that you will win this competition. Don't worry Sonia.. Take care and do well in the wildcard..

To no one's surprise, "Iron Man 2" took the top spot at the box office in its U.S. debut, clutching its iron fist around a nice $133.6 million take over the weekend, according to studio estimates. The sequel's opening bow easily beat out that of the first film two years ago, when a then mostly unknown comic book character called Iron Man shocked everyone by pulling in $99 million in its first week. The original would go on to take in a whopping $585 million worldwide, re-igniting the movie career of Robert Downey Jr. The sequel is well on its way toward besting the original's total take — adding $194 million it has over taken in overseas, the Jon Favreau sequel has now totaled more than $328 million worldwide in just two weeks of release. (The film opened a week earlier in overseas markets.)
With "Iron Man 2" set to open last week, only a fool would try to open a film opposite it. A fool, or a bunch of babies. "Babies", the Focus Features doc, opened in limited release (534 screens to "Iron Man 2's" 4,380) with a $1.6 million debut, good enough for tenth place. Last week's #1, the horror remake "A Nightmare on Elm Street" fell to second place in its second week, adding another $9 million to its coffers, for a total of $48.5 million in two weeks of release. The remake has yet to open overseas.
Here's how the box office shaped up over the weekend:
1 —–Iron Man 2 —– $133,600,000 —–$133,600,000
2 —–A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) —–$9,170,000 —–$48,530,000
3 —–How to Train Your Dragon —–$6,760,000 —–$201,093,000
4 —–Date Night —–$5,300,000 —–$80,854,000
5 —–The Back-Up Plan —–$4,345,000 —–$29,415,000
6 —–Furry Vengeance —– $4,000,000 —— $11,621,000
7 —–Clash of the Titans (2010) —–$2,305,000 —–$157,808,000
8 —–Death at a Funeral (2010) —–$2,100,000 —– $38,323,000
9 —–The Losers —–$1,800,000 —–$21,450,000
10 —–Babies —–$1,575,000 —– $1,575,000

Do you remember your old family vacations? Long hours spent in the backseat of a hot car, driving to local tourist spots, going from place to place on roads that seem to stretch on forever in an endless line of tedium. Whatever happened at the end of those drives was worth it as a kid, but it's harder to stomach as an adult, as the drive is half the experience. Maybe you find the drive calming, peaceful, relaxing, but one thing is for sure: for some of us it's just not a road trip without a little danger.
Which is why I have compiled a list of the few most spectacular, risky, adventurous, and dangerous roads in the world, to help break the boredom of those long drives. So buckle your seatbelt and get ready for the ride of your life.
North Yungas Road, Bolivia
Referred to by locals as the 'Road of Death', it isn't hard to imagine the carnage that can be wreaked on one of the world's deadliest mountain roads. Running along the ridge of Bolivian Andes, it scrapes along a 3,600 meter drop and offers just enough room to scoot past other passing vehicles, sometimes more successfully then others.
Around 200 people are killed in accidents every year here, and that's just fatalities. There are plenty of injuries to cause it to surpass the mystique of it's name.
Pan American Highway, Costa Rica
While you may find uneventful stretches of his 30,000 mile highway, it boasts some of the most dangerous miles you will ever drive. With portions running narrowly along the side of steep drops, curves that cause a large number of collisions on their sudden turns, and some seriously bad weather, this highway is a hard one to navigate.
BR-116, Brazil
While it's official title may seem innocuous enough, this highway that runs from Porto Alegre to Rio de Janeiro, and has been renamed by locals as 'Rodovia da Morte'. For those of you who used to skip 7th grade Spanish class, that translates to 'Highway of Death; and with the common fatalities and injuries along the cliff side road, it's an apt name.
Cotopaxi Volcan Road, Ecuador
Ecuador is well known for having some of the worst roads on Earth, and with good reason. But the uniquely terrifying Cotopaxi Volcan Road is in a league of it's own.
With numerous potholes that are hidden amongst the 25-mile dirt road, and a small stream that is a source of dangerous (and fatal) flash floods with even the smallest amount of rain, this small road connecting the Pan American Highway with Cotopaxi Volcan National Park is one that claims the lives of quite a few unwary tourists annually.
You may not think that the A44 would make the list as the only UK road to offer dangers, but with 25% of accidents a result of head-on collisions, it's much more dangerous then some of it's better known counterparts. The government has applied some stringent monitoring systems as a consequence, but there are still a shocking number of accidents and fatalities on this road running from Oxford to Aberystwyth.

Accenture research shows U.S. consumers want a personalized retail experience but are divided on retailers' tactics and the type of personal information they are comfortable sharing.
The Accenture Personalization Survey examined customer expectations around a personalized shopping experience and identified the types of retail technologies, tailored customer experiences and communications – online and in-store – that consumers may experience. Emerging technologies and the continued explosion of digital devices allow retailers to reach customers like never before. But when your customers share their personal data, as a retailer, what's your responsibility to protect it?
"Personalization can be a powerful method for retailers to differentiate from competitors, increase basket size and build customer loyalty," said Dave Richards, global managing director of Accenture's Retail Practice. "To effectively implement personalization across all channels, retailers would benefit from understanding customers at a broad level as well as individually – determining where personalization strategies can best drive business results, and giving key subsets of customers the choice on how they wish to participate."

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Refurbished Pets of Southern Michigan, Coldwater, MI, USA
My husband and I adopted Gracie June from RPSM last August. He says that she is the "perfect" dog, and she's pretty darned close! The training she had in the prison really facilitated her transition from the streets to coddled home. RPSM screens potential adopters carefully to determine suitability of homes, owners and pets. They do education about spaying and neutering. What really attracted me to the program though was the rehab potential for the incarcerated trainers. This could be something that really turns their lives around. This is an amazing group, totally devoted to their cause. I also do occasional volunteer work for them and wish I could do more.

Review for Refurbished Pets of Southern Michigan, Coldwater, MI, USA
I was introduced to RPSM by a friend who was adopting a dog. Both of my elderly dogs had passed away during the previous year. I had started looking at rescue organizations and when I learned that RPSM worked with rehabbing prison inmates as well as dogs, I was sold! The difference the dogs make for the prisoners and that the prisoners make for the dogs is truly a God-thing. After adopting our Gracie through them, I became a volunteer. This is the only rescue group that I know of that rescues people and pets!

Finding Community in the GOOD
The GOOD, the TRUE, and the BEAUTIFUL, like fires that attract the moth, are both the backdrop and targets of our consciousness and are intimately interconnected. How might we find community through these three ideals? Let's consider them one at a time.
The Good has to do with authenticity, that is, valuing what is genuine, and valuing what brings ultimate meaning to our lives. So in regard to community, the Good presents questions like:
2) What are the personal, cultural, and social factors in our lives that are inhibiting the realization of these values?
3) How might we state these values concretely in a way they can be acted on in community with one another?
4) What kind of forums, associations, and organizations can we create to facilitate discussion and action on such questions?
At some level of consciousness we bring at least the first question and often the second question, or ones very similar, to every encounter we have with others. There is a deep desire within each of us for meaningful communion with others. Yet competing desires as well as anxieties about rejection, suspicions about the Other, cultural norms, and societal regularities often sidetrack such a communion.
In fact all of these obstacles to communion keep such questions as above hidden within our consciousness, but hidden out in the open so to speak. They are questions seldom asked directly of ourselves, and the various obstacles mentioned inhibit any collective entertainment of them outside of religious groups and institutions and academic circles. At the same time, questions about collective values and the meaning of life have been fought and killed over for millennia.
The intent of this website is to bring such questions into the foreground of consciousness. In this era of political upheavals throughout the world, of climate change, of growing disparities between the rich and the poor, of increasing disruptions in food and water supplies, of population growth beyond the earth's capacity to sustain it, it is incumbent on us to seriously consider such questions around the kitchen table, in bars, restaurants, in churches, synagogues, and mosques, in political debates, in letters to the editor, in editorials, in the poems and stories we write, in the movies we make, etc. etc. etc.
In short what is called for is a cultural revolution that rejects and overthrows the commercialization, commodifying, and branding of ourselves with its subsequent denigrating of happiness exclusively to the realm of sensual and material pleasures, requiring the control of nature and the exploitation of nature's material resources.
Creating real community is now more a necessity than ever and needs to replace the haphazard, noncommittal approach that has always been society's preference, a society more focused on individual success stories, competition, accumulation of wealth, and a general disinterest in the suffering of those left behind in our own nation and the suffering of those forced into unsafe and cruel working conditions in foreign lands to satisfy America's voracious consumption of the world's natural resources.
But creating community is more than giving the Good more voice. The True and the Beautiful are equal partners in this venture. The three of them give consciousness native perspectives which we can call forth to meet the challenges to our collective welfare. Lets consider next the role of the True.

Move to faster, more profitable DRAMs goes painfully slow for suppliers
0 comments post a comment
SAN JOSE -- It could be another long and miserable year in the poor DRAM industry, based on the consensus and general mood at the Platform Conference here this week.
SAN JOSE -- It could be another long and miserable year in the poor DRAM industry, based on the consensus and general mood at the Platform Conference here this week.
While executives from the DRAM industry reported that product demand is finally picking up after a long slump in 2001 and the last part of 2000, they were also crying the blues over what could be a slow and painful transition to the new, high-margin memory architectures in 2002.
The slower-than-expected transition to new DRAM technologies could force shell-shocked memory makers to sell lower-priced commodity products much longer than they would prefer, thereby possibly prolonging their financial woes and losses, warned analysts.
Going into 2002, memory vendors hope to line their pockets by pushing several high-margin technologies, such as next-generation RDRAMs, DDR333 and DDR400 SDRAMs, DDR-II, Fast Cycle RAM (FCRAM), Reduced Latency DRAM (RLDRAM), and others.
Most these technologies are lined up on the runway and ready to take off. But much to the chagrin of the memory, chip set and even processor makers, major system houses are just rolling out new products based on the current DRAM technologies, and they don't seem to be in any hurry to adopt the new memory architectures, according to sources.
This is especially true in the troubled PC market. At present, many PC makers are finally making a transition from plain-vanilla synchronous DRAMs to 200- (DDR200) and 266-MHz (DDR266) versions of double-data rate SDRAMs. At the high-end, PC makers are now ramping up systems with Rambus Inc.'s RDRAM technology, it was noted.
It appears that the DDR SDRAM market is finally taking off, thanks in part to Intel Corp.'s recent move to launch a chip set based on this technology.
Now, DRAM makers want system houses to adopt the faster and more-profitable DDR333 SDRAM technology, but the major PC makers are reportedly balking. "We would love to sell the PC makers DDR333 right now, but the OEMs are not dying to adopt the technology," said Mueez-Ud Deen, director of marketing for DRAM and graphics memory at Samsung Semiconductor Inc. of San Jose.
"There is a hesitancy among the system houses to adopt new technology, because the market has been so soft," Deen said. "They are just barely getting their act together with DDR266," he told SBN at the Platform Conference.
But still, vendors are racing each other to develop DDR333 products in order to beat their competitors to the punch. For example, Taiwan's Nanya Technology Corp. is reportedly the first DRAM maker to bring up its DDR333 chips into production. Another Taiwanese vendor, Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. (SiS), rolled out the first chip set that supports DDR333.
This week, South Korea's Samsung announced its first DRAMs that support DDR333, and the possible follow-on, DDR400 (see today's story). And next month, Taiwan's Via Technologies Inc. will launch a DDR333-enabled chip set, said Richard Brown, director of marketing for the Taipei-based company.
Samsung is sampling its DDR333/400 SDRAMs right now. System manufacturers are expected to ramp up their DDR333/400-enabled products "in August or September," Deen said.
Others believe that DDR333 will ramp up in 2002 as well. "We're sampling DDR333," said Mike Seibert, strategic marketing manager for Micron Technology Inc. in Boise, Idaho. "We plan to get DDR333 up and running this year," Seibert told SBN at the Platform Conference.
"There is also a lot of interest in DDR400, because of Intel," he said, noting that Intel's Pentium 4 processor utilizes a 400-MHz front-side bus.
Others had different opinions. DDR333 will not take off until 2003, while DDR400 has no chance for success in the market, declared Jim Sogas, vice president of sales for Elpida Memory (USA) Inc. in Santa Clara, Calif. Elpida is a joint DRAM venture between Japan's Hitachi Ltd. and NEC Corp.
Instead of DDR400, the market will directly shift from DDR333 to a next-generation DDR SDRAM technology called DDR-II, Sogas said. "We won't see DDR333 in any volumes until next year," he said. "We won't see DDR-II in volumes until 2005," he told SBN.
Still others believe the transition from DDR333 to DDR-II will occur much faster. DDR333 "is a speed bump," said Chee Ho, director of product marketing at Infineon Technologies Inc. in San Jose. "DDR-II, in my mind, will be out in '03. Volumes should hit in '04," he said during a panel discussion at the San Jose conference.
In any event, the DRAM market is still a lose-lose proposition. On one hand, DRAM makers can't seem to convince system houses to adopt new memory technologies fast enough. And then on the other hand, DRAM makers can't seem to recoup their massive R&D investments.
"The life cycle for a DRAM architecture is so short," Ho lamented. "We may never be able to get back our R&D investments," Ho said during the panel discussion.

1. Grab a Playlist(Thanks sonawand)
It's no secret that there are millions of songs available at Apple's iTunes and other sites. But busy travelers can also download entire playlists—preselected soundtracks keyed to a certain mood or genre—for their wanderings. Listeners can even find preassembled hits from all sorts of celebrities (on iTunes), such as Jackie Chan's favorite Chinese rock ditties or Aussie Nicole Kidman's selects for that trip to the Outback.
2. Match a Book to Your Destination
It's not just classical music in your earbuds; it's the classics themselves. Audio books, many unabridged, are available at such sites as iTunes and Audible.com, both with extensive libraries of fiction and nonfiction offerings. If you're visiting the English countryside, take along Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice ($28, Audible.com). Heading to Bangalore, you can bone up on the subcontinent's booming economy by toting Thomas Friedman's The World Is Flat ($19, iTunes).

- Ferrari news
Massa contract talks underway
- Drivers:
- Felipe Massa
Felipe Massa could be heading to Renault in 2011 according to a report in Finland's Turun Sanomat.
Massa's manager, Nicolas Todt, is said to have already held contract talks with both Ferrari and one other team, believed to be Renault.
Massa has been with Ferrari since 2006, but his current deal runs out at the end of the season. Having been overshadowed by team-mate Fernando Alonso so far in 2010, speculation is rife that Ferrari will look to replace him at the end of the season.
The current hottest properties in the driver market, Renault's Robert Kubica and Red Bull's Mark Webber, are believed to be high on Ferrari's wanted list and have both been linked with a move to the Italian marque in recent weeks. Monaco Grand Prix winner and championship leader Webber recently declined to commit to Red Bull saying "things happen and change very fast in this business and you never know what's around the corner".
Despite the speculation, Massa insists Ferrari is his first choice although he is flattered by other teams showing interest in him.
"I like it a lot at Ferrari - I know everybody and everybody knows me," Massa told Turun Sanomat. "However, it is always encouraging to know that other teams with fast cars are interested in me. The main objective is to continue with Ferrari, but if that fails than we will look elsewhere."

About Me
Eat less, sleep more, and telling myself you are nice
Received a Fulbright scholarship offer, bought a new Toyota Matrix in Oct. 2009, and was buying a condo in Little Italy, San Diego, and then thought that living in California for the rest of my life might be a good idea, but one night in Nov., my phone rang , telling me that my husband in Japan was found unconscious, and under brain surgery. I left everything behind and embarked for Japan. Meanwhile, my 4-year-old son said, " Everything is going to be all right. Don't worry." ( sound like Bob Marley, huh?) Yes, everything has been all right so far. My son was right!!!
Since then, I have tried to be helpful to the next generation. It means that I became old.
Where there is a will, there is a way. (want to believe....., but the problem is that making a will is getting harder as I grow older. Guys, which countries I should travel on summer vacation, Peru or Tibet?)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Traveled West African countries by myself 27 years ago. Invited a man who gave me a direction to a hotel in Gorom-Gorom, Burkina Faso because I felt a bit lonely, and needed a company, but we had no language in common, so both were quiet over beer for 2 hours.
He was....well, in his 70s. I still feel sorry that gave him such a hard time.
Teach, Learn, Share
Want to learn other cultures from CS, specially their own.
My son is willing to show you Japanese traditional dancing in Kimono as he has learnt it since he was 4 years old, and also takes Karate lesson twice a week, so I can take you there if you are interested in. His master is a silver medalist in 2011 world cup. Wow!!!

Nick and Vanessa headed to Washington this weekend to support the Tacoma Rainiers (Nick's Triple A baseball team) and for a celebrity charity softball game. Nick showed up for some batting practice but it looked like he spent more time making out with Vanessa on the field - now that their affections have been exposed to the world, hey why not? Vanessa even wore a jersey bearing Nick's last name. It's not exactly on the same level as the cute Beckham boys wearing David's number, but we'll give her points for supporting Nick's passion for sports.

Courses are taught through weekly new videos and quizzes Some of the top universities in the U.S are offering free courses on the Web not just for individual students but also for other universities to adopt. Earlier this year, MIT announced its engineering course that comes with a certificate on completion. Universities like Stanford are offering free online courses as well. Stanford Engineering Everywhere (http://see.stanford.edu/) has modules on Programming Methodology, Programming Abstractions, and Programming Paradigms, as a part of a three-course Introduction to Computer Science which is taken by most Stanford undergraduates and was developed to reach out to students globally.
Built under the Creative Commons licence that allows for free use and adaptation of the material, colleges too can use them to supplement classroom instructions. Last year, a free online class on artificial intelligence (https://www.ai-class.com), conducted by Sebastian Thrun, Research Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University, and Peter Norvig, Director of Research at Google Inc, attracted over 58,000 students from around the world. The class ran from October 10 to December 18, 2011. Students who successfully completed the course were given a statement of accomplishment. From high school learners to retired people, the age groups were widely varied. Though the enrolment for this course is closed for now, the course material can be accessed at https://www.ai-class.com/ overview.
For those who want to learn how to build search engines and web application engineering, courses taught by Sebastian Thrun are available at http://www.udacity.com/. There are teams of voluntary translators, the videos are available in languages other than English as well. Two classes, the CS101 Building a Search Engine and CS373 Programming a Robotic Car, will soon be offered on the site. While the courses are taught through weekly new videos and quizzes, exams are personalized to prevent cheating.
Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/) is another interactive learning program that has subjects from various universities such as the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton and University of Michigan. The website runs various modules along with subjects as varied as "introduction to sociology" to "the ways vaccines work," with the mandatory computer sciences lessons between lessons.
Started by Andrew Ng and Daphne, two Stanford computer scientists, whose free internet courses attracted a wide audience, Coursera has an innovative student's platform where students from different parts of the world post answers to questions asked. Some of the courses do not have set durations. So the students can pace the modules themselves, which helps in gaining in-depth knowledge about a subject or even find out what a particular topic might involve. For example, students interested in studying pharmacology would want to look at the module of "Fundamentals of Pharmacology" in Coursera from the University of Pennsylvania to understand what greater study of the field might entail.
EdX Online – a joint initiative by Harvard and MIT – its interactivity online is great. Combination of technologies are used. Regular assignments, virtual labs etc. are in place. http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/02/harvard-mit-will-bring-classes-to-the-masses-with-their-edx-online-learning-initiative/

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
First solo costume!! The hat. Oh, I love this hat. It was actually my first solo sewing project! I used non-pill fleece for the entire thing (oh so warm and welcome at a Feb. convention). I used a base fleece hat pattern (the website is no longer available) and then just modified it to resemble Mizune's hat. The ears are shaped with a combination of plastic boning (for structure) and wire (for angle). I freehanded patterns for the nose, eyes, and ears. I'm so happy with the way it turned out! Dress - This was actually my first garment. Perhaps a little ambitious! I used McCalls 4460 as a basis. I redrafted some pattern pieces to add the black at the top and bottom. I used Casa Collection Matte Satin for the dress, and then used twill tape to make the stripes. This was a poor choice, because twill tape doesn't have enough structure. It caused some puckering. The skirt is lined with pink matte satin because I wanted it to be exciting. Mouse Feet - made using slippers as a base. I built the shape using foam to pad out the slippers, then covered it with a grey "cuddle" fabric. They were soooo soft. I kept petting my legs! I chose Mizune because there was a huge SE gathering at Katsucon. They wanted one of each cast member, and Mizune was still open. Additionally, I love black & white costumes that use geometric patterning, they're very appealing to me. I really enjoyed making and wearing her!

Mrs. Abigail Her.ry of Denver gave notice
to the local Fire and Police Board to-day
that unless a certain saloon is not shut
in two days she would wreck it. The sa
loon is known as Figaro's. It is on Down

"The place Is conducted by a woman,"
said Mrs. King. "She bought the saloon
from Figaro a short while ago. and im
mediately the boys of the neighborhood
began to frequent the place. If the Fir©
and Police Board or the truancy officers
do not remedy the evil I will follow the
example of Mrs. Nation and take the mat
ter into my own hands. I have not a great
deal of sympathy with the actions of Mrs.
Nation, but if her provocation is as great
as this I would do the same as she is do
ing. I will give two days for the officers
to wipe out this place, and if It is not
done by that time I will get a few friends
and lead an assault on the place."

says its purpose is to suppress saloons by

coming: here. There have been several re
ports that she would be here before Ions.

Lord Mayor's voice was strong, and his
oratorical words were distinguishable a
block away while he read the warrant of •
the Privy Council to the Herald. There
upon the spectacularly-attired Herald,
bareheaded also, for the third time de
livered the proclamation. Probably no one
fifty feet away heard his words until, at
the end, he raised his voice and shouted:
"God save the King!" putting particular
stress on the words.
Crowd Cheers Feebly.
When the Lord Mayor finished reading
the warrant, with the words "His Majes
ty, King Edward VII.'* the ciowa for the
first time cheered feebly, but wlt&out uni
son, seeming to feel that too great a dis
play of enthusiasm for the King might
appear to partake of disloyalty to the
memory of th© departed Queen.
It was only when the Herald shouted
"God save the King:" that the populace
responded heartily with cheers, many peo
ple echoing the shout of "God save tho
King," and waving their hats.
The Lord Mayor In the meantime pro
ceeding to the Mansion House, stepped
out on the upper balcony and aaid. In
ringing tones:
"Join in singing from the bottom of
your hearts, 'God Save the Kins.' "
The response was uncertain, for the
people present feared to undertake the
unfamiliar words until the common ser
geant (legal adviser of the corporation),
led off. whereupon hundreds joined in.
This was repeated three times, each time
hundreds more taking up the singing, un
til it became a mighty roar. Then came
more cheers for the King and Queen Con
sort, hearty but solemn, and of a vastly
different sort from the shouts heard for
Queen Victoria's jubilee. There was an
undertone of mourning.
The the Life Guards and officials from
the West End moved away and the crowd
broke up.
The city officials gathered about a table
in the Mansion House and raised their
glasses, drinking the health of King Ed

cording to the ancient ritttal.

Black was the universal color worn by
the people. Hardly a bright bonnet or
gown relieved the sombernes of the crowd.
Soldiers and policemen formed an almost
solid lane, down Cheapside. where the pa
geant was to pass. The people behind
them, crowding for a sight over then
shoulders, were of all classes, from the
prosperous brokers to East End costers.
The mass was subdued and remarkably
orderly, an impressive contrast to the
usual London holiday crowd. The roofs of
the Exchange Bank and the Mansion
House and the windows and balconies
overlooking the scene were filled with
solid rows of people. Big policemen kept
a clear space in front of the exchange.
Enter the Lord Mayor.
At about 10 o'clock the procession, which
was disappointingly short, though gor
geous, swept down from Temple Bar at
a rapid pace and was received silently.

A few streets further on the proclama
tion was read again, and the procession
advanced by way of Ludgate Hill to the
Royal Exchange. The final proclamation
was made in front of the exchange. The
square before the exchange, with the
prison-like walls of the Bank of England
on one side and the massive official resi
dence of the Lord Mayor on the other,
was a stage setting whose age and solid
ity . befitted the portentous ceremony.
There were no decorations except flags,
all half-masted, save the city's red cross
on a white field over the Mansion House.
The royal standard hung above the ex-
Change and over the surrounding buslne'ss
buildings flew the union jack.
The trumpeters blew a blast, while the

silent, not knowing what to do until a
military band in the procession struck up
"God save the. King."

to which the Mayor and Aldermen replied:

day was given a glimpse of
medieval times. The quaint
ceremonies with which Kir.;?
j Edward \ II was proclaimed

metropolis exactly followed
ancient precedents. The offi
cials purposely arranged the function an
hour ahead of the published announce
ment and the inhabitants, when thcy

way between St. James Palace and the
city lined with troops. About IOJM0 sol

Guards and other cavalry and infantry
regiments had been brought iron Alder

The ceremony began at St. James Pal

proclaimed King of Cie United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland and Emperor
of India. The proclamation, which wr*s

In the Midst of Signs of
Mourning London Gets
Glimpse of Olden Times
The chief interest of the morning cen
tered in the entrance of the heralds' pro
cession into the city at Temple Bar. The
gray minarets of the Law Courts and the
tall spires of the Strand churches loomed
phantom-like out of the fog, while a long
double line of overcoated troops stood,
chilled and motionless, along the half de
serted streets." The clocks in the Law
Courts and St. Dunstan's tolled out
mournfully the* quarter hours till 9:15.
when, out of the gray mist, from within
the city boundary, appeared a procession
of carriages forming the Lord Mayor's
entourage. It was there that the two
procession" were to merge In kaleidos
copic grandeur. The Lord Mayor, Sher
iffs, Aldermen and mace bearers In scar
let, fur-trimmed robes, cocked hats, ruf
fled- shirts, silk krsoe^lii <ech<?g aud .." low
buckled shoes, peered out from the Cin
derella-like coaches that would have been
the envy of Alice in Wonderland. Over
head, in the midst of the pageant, the
preat griffin which marks the city boun
dary spreads its wide, fantastic wings
Entrance of the Heralds.
A blare of trumpets announced the pro
gress of the cavalcade as it proceeded
through Trafalgar Square and the Strand.
The contingent from the College at
Arms was composed of three kings at
armB, four heralds and eight pursuivants.
The costumes of the two latter were
gorgeous beyond compare. They wore
tabards, a garment resembling the cos
tume of kings as "depicted on playing
cards. These tabards were beautifully
and heavily embroidered with silk lions,
the royal coat of arms, and flowers in be
wildering confusion. There was the
rouge dragon, the blue mantle and the
multravers. with all the armorial bearings
of that quaint old body, the College of
Arms, In full and solerAn array.
Th*> officials then marched In proces
sion from the balcony, through the pal
ace to the Emba&sadors* Court, where. a
number of royal carriages had been
placed by the direction of the King at the
dispo5al of the Karl Marshal. These took
the officials who read the proclamation to
the city, escorted by a detachment of
Horse Guards, forming -a picturesque and
gorgeous procession.
Procession of Officials.
all kings and queens do reign, to bless the
royal Prince Edward VII with long and
happy years to reign over us."

What Have I Learned
What have I learned but
the proper use for several tools?
The moments
between hard pleasant tasks
To sit silent, drink wine,
and think my own kind
of dry crusty thoughts.
—the first Calochortus flowers
and in all the land,
it's spring.
I point them out:
the yellow petals, the golden hairs,
to Gen.
Seeing in silence:
never the same twice,
but when you get it right,
you pass it on.
It's the birthday of writer and journalist Naomi Klein, (books by this author) born in Montréal (1970). Her parents and grandparents were activists, but she wasn't interested in her family's leftist politics. As a teenager, she rebelled by hanging out at the mall and shopping for brand-name clothes.
She went to college, became interested in politics and journalism, and started thinking about the ways that radical young activists had changed over the years — instead of protesting directly against the government, they were focusing energy on fighting big corporations and their role in the government. She was interested in the World Bank and the WTO, and the way globalization affected consumer trends. She also looked at huge corporations like Nike, Disney, and Wal-Mart, and the power of their brand names to sell an image as much as a product. So she wrote a book about it, No Logo (1999), which became an international best seller.
She said, "Ads and logos are our shared global culture and language, and people are insisting on the right to use that language, to reformulate it in the way that artists and writers always do with cultural material."
Gary Snyder (books by this author) turns 79 today. He was born in San Francisco in 1930. When he was a teenager, he wrote articles for the mountain-climbing club's magazine and his high school newspaper, and then he went to Reed college, where he started reading Asian poetry. In the summers, he worked in logging camps, on trail crews, and as a fire lookout in the mountains. And it was while working in Yosemite in 1955 that he found his voice as a poet. That same year, he read with Allen Ginsberg at the famous October Sixth Gallery Reading where Ginsberg read "Howl" for the first time, and the two poets became lifelong friends. Snyder became a hero of the counterculture when Jack Kerouac published book The Dharma Bums (1958), whose hero, Japhy Ryder, is a barely disguised version of Snyder. For about 12 years, Snyder spent most of his time studying Zen Buddhism in Japan. He has published more than 20 books of poetry and prose, including Axe Handles (1983), Mountains and Rivers Without End (1997),and Turtle Island (1974). He is a respected environmental activist and thinker, and a professor at the University of California, Davis.
He said, "Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from there."
It's the birthday of the reclusive novelist Thomas Pynchon, (books by this author) born in Glen Cove, Long Island (1937). He went to Cornell University to study engineering physics and got straight A's in all his classes. But then he took a class from Vladimir Nabokov and switched his major to English literature. He moved to Mexico and published his first novel, V. (1963), when he was 26 years old. It was a huge success, as were The Crying of Lot 49 (1966) and Gravity's Rainbow (1973).
It's the birthday of the popular Irish novelist Roddy Doyle, (books by this author) born in Dublin (1958). He was raised in a working-class suburb of Dublin, and even though he wanted to be a writer, he knew he needed a good steady job. So he taught high school for 14 years, and he wrote in the evenings. He started thinking about some of his students, and what they might be doing in a few years. He imagined that a group of these kids could form a band, and they could choose to play American soul music. He took that idea and wrote The Commitments (1987). He published 1,000 copies himself with a bank loan, and a London publisher got hold of one and republished it the next year, and it became a big best seller. He went on to write The Snapper (1990) and The Van (1991), and then a book from the point of view of a 10-year-old boy, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha (1993). It won the Booker Prize and Doyle was able to quit his job and write full time.
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.®

Yellowstone National Park's East Entrance is scheduled to open for the winter season today.
According to a media release from the park, only rubber-tracked snowcoaches and snowmobiles will be allowed from the East Entrance to Sylvan Pass to Fishing Bridge to West Thumb. Steel-tracked vehicles will not be allowed until more snow falls on the route.
Other areas of the park have been opened for winter use with travel restrictions, the release says:
Mammoth Hot Springs-Norris-West Entrance-Old Faithful: commercially guided wheeled vehicles and rubber tracked snowcoaches only.
Norris-Canyon: Commercially-guided rubber tracked snowcoaches only.
South Entrance-West Thumb-Old Faithful: Commercially guided rubber and steel-tracked snowcoaches and snowmobiles.
Park officials say they will continue to monitor other sections of the park and open them to winter use as the snow falls.
Year-round travel is maintained from the park's North Entrance through Mammoth Hot Springs to Cooke City, Montana.

BP robust in its support of Rosneft amid new sanctions
The chief executive of BP has vowed to stand by Rosneft, the Russian state-owned oil company it part owns, as the United States weighed tougher sanctions against Moscow over the escalating conflict in Ukraine.
Bob Dudley made the pledge in Moscow, where he was attending a board meeting of the Russian Geographical Society, which was chaired by President Putin. "We are rock solid with our investments in Rosneft and [we] will stand by our investments," he said, adding: "For us it's business as usual."
The US is preparing to impose sanctions on a new list of high-ranking Russian figures, including Igor Sechin, the president of Rosneft, according to The New York Times. The sanctions would bar these individuals from travelling to the US and would…

During the next few weeks, we're going to go through Oregon's roster, position by position, examining what talent was lost to graduation or the NFL and what that leaves the Ducks with in 2014.
The prolific run game takes center stage today.
Who was lost after the 2013 season: De'Anthony Thomas
Lost production: 96 carries, 594 yards, 8 touchdowns
Who's back in 2014: junior Byron Marshall, sophomore Thomas Tyner, redshirt senior Ayele Forde, redshirt freshman Kani Benoit, redshirt sophomore Lane Roseberry, redshirt senior Kenny Bassett, redshirt sophomore J.J. Jones, sophomore Jake LaCoste, incoming freshman Tony James, incoming freshman Royce Freeman
Statistics of returning players: 350 carries, 2,046 yards, 23 touchdowns
Outlook: Worrying about the Oregon's running back situation is a moo point. It's like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter.
The Ducks seem to be able to turn out top back after top back with relatively seamless turnover. Yes, losing Thomas was a bit of a blow, but they'll recover just fine and the spring more than proved that. The race looks like it will come down to Tyner and Marshall, but even past those two, there's plenty to be excited about for the future.
Also, quarterback Marcus Mariota is back. Last season he was the second-leading rusher, carrying the ball 96 times for nine touchdowns and 715 yards. Jeff Lockie, who appears to be the default backup QB, also carried the ball five times with one score in 2013. The quarterbacks will continue to contribute to the run game, as will the occasional wide receiver.
It will be interesting to watch how the ball is distributed this season, especially early on, as Mariota gains more chemistry with his young receivers. He showed a lot of promise with WR Devon Allen this spring, but there's a good chance that the Ducks could be run-heavy early (especially against Michigan State) as they get their feet wet.
But again, keep calm and carry on. Nothing to see here but what will likely be another very impressive rushing season from Oregon.
Other spring reviews:

Final funding approval for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is facing two more hurdles as the agency stands poised to receive an increased fiscal 2000 budget of $103 million. And the larger hurdle exists with the endowment's greatest supporter: President Clinton.
Clinton has no problem with the NEA itself, of course. But NEA funding is contained within the Interior Department monies, and the President has been frowning at the proposed $14 billion Interior Department appropriation Congress is preparing to offer him. That's $1 billion less than Clinton has called for, and he is reportedly considering a veto.
The President's displeasure with the proposed appropriation results from three portions of the bill, according to The New York Times: 1) Congress' two houses would only provide one-third of $800 million for purchasing state and federal park lands under Clinton's "lands legacy" program; 2) the Senate would prohibit the administration from increasing royalties that oil companies must pay for drilling on federal lands; and 3) the upper house also wants to ease public-lands waste-dumping restrictions on mining firms.
A veto would further delay NEA funding while Congress attempts to override the President, or reach some compromise. The federal government's new fiscal year actually began Oct. 1, and Congress' delay in budget approvals already has required special appropriations to keep agencies running.
A Pleasant Hurdle
Meanwhile, the NEA is presently facing the pending hurdle of a Senate-House special conference committee which will decide a final funding figure for the agency. The panel was expected to meet as early as Tuesday to begin discussions on a compromise between a $98 million appropriation proposed by the House, and the $103 million budget which the Senate has approved.
The endowment saw rather peaceful days during this Congressional session-as opposed to the last two years when lawmakers battled to keep the agency alive.
With hardly a hassle, the House-which actually had defunded the endowment a couple of years ago-saw its kinder, gentler members approve monies at the same level the NEA had received the previous year. That bill went to the Senate which, having traditionally given bipartisan support to the agency, felt even kinder, and upped the ante by $5 million.

Hi everyone.
Well got enough nerve up to set up my colonoscopy today. Alittle nervous about it all but I will be relieved to have it over with. I told my husband about making the appointment and he hit the roof. We can't afford any medical bills.(we don't have insurance.) he made me feel guiltyabout going in. I don't know wether to cancel or just do and let him be mad. Help tell me what you think I should do. The doc. And my family have been nagging me to go get this done. My bowel problems are diarehia, blood lots of blood and mucus. This is a daily problem. I stay home alot cause I need to be near a bathroom. Its not fun to shop or do anything cause I am always making sure there is a bathroom close by. I am anemic and my doc. Told me its probably because I am losing so much blood from my bowels. If anyone can tell me if these symptoms are a sign of cancer or crohens disease that is what the Dr. Is suspecting but only the colonoscopy will tell. I hope to hear back from someone soon
thanks ctg

I think u already know the answer but just need reassurance. Get yourself checked as soon as possible. If it is not cancer (hopefully not) then it might be another disease in the colon. Better safe then sorry

The Masters in Finance programs offer you an integrated finance education that covers the most diverse and up to date information on the finance industry and functional area.
Despite the fact that many people think that accounting practice is characterised by the mechanic application of a set of rules, Marco Trombetta believes that the only way to account properly for a transaction is to first understand the economics of it and then apply the accounting mechanics. It was this intuition that made Marco, a fully trained theoretical economist, see accounting as a way for companies to transform raw data into information useful for internal and external decision makers.
However abstract this idea may seem at the beginning, it is actually at the core of the recent developments in accounting practice. The way how companies are created, organised and managed is changing so rapidly that only a set of accounting standards and procedures that gives preference to the substance of transactions over their form, will be able to keep track with the dynamic of the business environment and will manage to get accepted internationally. This is the spirit embedded into the set of International Financial Reporting Standards and that underlines the on going process of harmonizing accounting standards around the world. And this is also the fundamental background of Professor Trombetta's accounting teaching.
Besides his activity as a teacher and researcher, Professor Trombetta develops an activity as a consultant and in-company trainer. Moreover Marco is the Assitant Editor of the European Accounting Review, the official journal of the European Accounting Association and one of the most important academic accounting journals in the world.

During a recent Mecum auction, a few Dodge cars pulled in some big bids. You're not likely to see many of these Mopar classics in such pristine condition, or in any condition at all for that matter, as they are extremely rare. Any collector would be lucky to have one due to their low production volumes.
A Super-Rare 1970 Hemi Charger
The first up is a ultra rare 1970 Dodge Hemi Charger, which was one of only 112 1970 Hemi Chargers ever made. What's more, this particular car came with a 4-speed manual transmission, which means it's really only one of 56 1970 Hemi Chargers with a 4-speed.
In case you missed out on the 1970s, it was the era of the ground rattling American muscle car. A vehicle like the Dodge Charger R/T is an amazing representation of the days when brute strength and steel ruled the roads – when consumers lusted after torquey big block V8s that would pass anything on the road (well, anything but a gas station). This is part of what makes these vehicles so collectible – it's not just their beauty and rarity that collectors love – they also harken back to another time.
Very few changes were made to this particular Hemi Charger, and outside of one repaint, it's a numbers matching original. It's also a car that came with the A34 Super Track Pak — this original option included a larger radiator, 4-speed transmission with Hurst Pistol Grip shifter, 4.10 gears, Dana Sure Grip rear end, and front disc equipped power brakes. Collectors also value the "rally" gauges and the full console.
Despite it's age, this rare Charger looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Amazingly, despite a bid of over $100,000, the car didn't meet reserve. $100k is a lot of money, but not enough to own this glorious machine home.
68′ Dart Does Big Money
Another Mopar that recently crossed the auction block at a shocking price was a jaw-dropping 1968 Dodge Dart. The vehicle sold for $125,000, which made it the 6th most expensive car sold during that particular day.
Just like the 1970 Hemi Charger, this particular Dart was quite rare. One of only 80 vehicles built, this Dart was a Dodge sponsored race car driven by Max Hurley in SS/B competition. It was made by the Chrysler Corporation as a part of the program that used 426 Hemis in Plymouth Barracudas and Dodge Darts for supervised trials like Super Stock drag racing. Essentially, Chrysler put a bunch of their best Mopar performance parts on stripped-down Darts and Cuda's in order to build the fastest cars possible.
Notable features of this car include:
- Fiberglass lift-off hood
- 426 cubic inch Hemi with Cross Ram intake
- High flow oil pump
- Roller timing chain
- Solid-lifter cam
- Transistorized dual-point ignition with solid core wires
- Hooker headers
- HD cooling system
Factory-built race cars are exceptionally rare in any time period, and as a general rule race cars are collectible merely because most of them don't make it through their racing careers in one piece. But to find a clean and perfect vehicle that's both a former race car and a factory built racing vehicle? One in a million.
Finally, let's take a minute to recognize that cars just like these two weren't considered particularly collectible 20 years ago. It's likely that both could have been purchased for a fraction of today's value in the early 1990's.
Which begs the question, what kind of future collectibles can you find today? Why not search thru eBay's available race vehicles to see if you can find a future collector car? Or check out eBay's extensive project vehicle listings, to see if perhaps there's a car that could become very valuable with a little effort? Or maybe you can secure an early-90's Dodge Viper, a car with a storied history that's all but certain to become a future collectible.

With music that explores the idioms of funk, jazz and R&B, the WPG Trio lays down an infectious array of funk that makes you wanna holler and throw up both your hands. In addition, they can also mellow out with melodies that can slow the pace of an otherwise busy existence. Although the group has a tendency to lean more towards the R&B side of music, they also exhibit some serious jazz moments as well. Having worked as a well-tuned operating unit since 1988, these three guys have thrown-down some impressive tracks on their first effort as a trio. With the vitality and energy of a dynamo, their music is very contagious, as they wail on such tunes as Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" and "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover." They also do well with such standards as "Misty" and "Everything Must Change as they move to the slow side. In hindsight, I have to say the overall recording is filled with a little bit of something for any listener looking for variety in their musical selections.
As I examined the infrastructure of the WPG Trio, I found drummer "Blues" Webb, keyboardist Benjie Porecki and bassist Gary Grainger to be a matched set of seasoned professionals. They bring together a combination of vocalese, jazz, funk, rhythmic expression and melodic transition in a manner that is often appealing and easy to follow. Their music flows very well from one track to the next, and they even make what they do look easy. If I had one criticism to make, it would be a tendency leaning towards predictable and unimaginative. But overall, this first trip out is likeable. These three guys have paid their dues; as such, this minor observation is excusable for the most part. Their experiences with such notables as Gladys Knight, Billy Preston, Ken Navarro, John Scofield, Nancy Wilson and Pieces of a Dream are just a few of the many artists they have recorded and toured with. That fact in itself more than makes up for any shortcomings they may have exhibited on this debut release. This dynamic scope of influences has prepared them for 'Small, Medium, Large.' With this freshman effort, the music scene is pleasntly introduced to a trio of musicians who are willing to stretch the limits of contemporary jazz and R&B. I can't wait to see what comes next from the WPG Trio.
