How can love survive during the unfavorable social traditions and customs? Read the story to find out the answer.
Mahamaya and Rajib met together in a ruined temple on the river bank.
In silence, she gave her naturally grave look at Rajib with a tinge of reproach. She meant: "How can you call me at this unusual hour today? You have ventured to do it only because I have so long obeyed you in all things!"
Rajib had a little awe at Mahamaya at all tims, and now this look of her thoroughly upset him: he at once gave up his fondly conceived plans of making a set speech to her. And yet he had to give quickly some reason for this interview. So he hurriedly blurted out, "I say let us run away from this place and marry." True, Rajib thus delivered himself of what he had in his mind; but the preface he had silently composed was lost. His speech sounded very dry and bald, even absurd. He himself was confused after saying it, and had now power left in him to add some words to modify its effect. The fool! After calling Mahamaya to that ruined temple by the riverside at midday, he could only tell her, "Come, let us marry!"
Mahamaya was a Kulin's daughter, 24 years old- in the full bloom of her youth and beauty like an image of pure gold, of the hue of an early autumn sunlight; radiant and still at that sunshine; with a gaze free and fearless as daylight itself.
She was an orphan. Her older brother, Bhavanicharan Chatto Padhyay, looked after her. The two were of the same mold – taciturn, but possessing a force of character which burnt silently like the midday sun. People feared Bhavanicharan without knowing why.
Rajib had come from afar with the Burra Sahib of the silk factory of the place. His father had served this Sahib, and when he died the Sahib undertook to bring up his orphan boy and took him with himself to this Bamanhati factory. In those early days, such instances of sympathy were frequently among the Sahibs. Mahamaya was Rajib's playmate in childhood, and was dearly loved by his aunt.
Rajib refused to marry even at the age of 19. Mahamaya, too, grew up in maidenhood fro no bridegroom of an equal grade of blue blood could be secured except for an impossible dowry.
Kandarapa's influence shows itself differently in different persons. Under his inspiration, Rajib constantly sought for a chance of whispering his hear longings, but Mahamaya gave him no opportunity.
Today he had, by a hundred solemn entreaties and conjurations, at least succeeded in bringing her to this ruined temple. Confusingly, he just stood and asked Mahamaya, "Come, let us go and marry."
For a long time she did not reply, as if she never expected such a proposal from Rajib. Rajib stood reclining against the ruinous plinth of the temple like a tired dreamer, gazing at the river; he had not the spirit to look at Mahamaya in the face.
After a while he turned his head and again cast a supplicating glance at Mahamaya's face. She shook her head and replied, "No, it can't be."
At once the whole fabric of his hopes was dashed to the ground; for he knew that when Mahamaya refused his offer, it was through her own conviction and nobody else in the world could bend her to his own will. Mahamaya at once prepared to leave the temple.
Rajib understood her and quickly broke in with "I am leaving this place tomorrow."
Calmly she asked, "Why" Rajib replied, "My Sahib has been transferred from here to the Sonapur factory, and he is taking me with him." Again she stood in long silence, musing thus: "Our lives are moving in two contrary directions. I cannot hope to keep a man a prisoner of my eyes forever." So she opened her compressed lips a little and said, "Very well." it sounded rather like a deep sigh.
With this word only she was again about to leave, when Rajib started up with the whisper, "Your brother!"
She looked out and saw her brother coming towards the temple, and she knew that he had found out their assignation. Rajib, fearing to place Mahamaya in a false position, tried to escape by jumping out n the hole in the temple wall; but Mahamaya seized his arm and kept him back by main force. Bhavanicharan entered the temple and only cast one silent and placid glance at the pair.
Mahamaya looked at Rajib and said with an unruffled voice, "Yes, I will go to your house Rajib. Do you wait for me?"
Silently, her brother left the temple, and Mahamaya followed him as silently. And Rajib? He stood in a maze as if he had been doomed to death.
That night, Bhavanicharan gave a crimson silk sari to Mahamaya and told her to put it on at once. Then he said, "Follow
That night the two walked to the building place on the river bank, not far from their home. There in the hut for sheltering dying men brought to the holy river's side, an old Brahmin was lying in expectation of death. The two went up to his bedside. A Brahmin priest was present in one corner of the room. Bhavanicharan beckoned to him.
The priest quickly got his things ready for the happy ceremony. Mahamaya realized that she was to be married to this dying man, but she did not make the least objection. In the dim room, faintly lit up by the glare of two funeral pyres hard by, the muttered sacred texts mingled with the groans of the dying as Mahamaya's marriage was celebrated.
The day following after her marriage, she became a widow. But she did not feel excessively grieved at the bereavement. And Rajib, too, was not crushed by the news of her widowhood as he had been by the unexpected tidings of her marriage. Nay, he felt rather cheered. But this feeling did not last long. A second terrible blow laid him utterly in the dust; he heard that there was a grand ceremony at the burning ghat that day as Mahamaya was going to burn herself with her husband's corpse.
At first he thought of informing Sahib and forcibly stopping the cruel sacrifice with his help. But then he recollected that the Sahib had made over charge and left for Sonapor that very day; he had wanted to take Rajib with him but the youth had stayed behind on a month's leave.
Mahamaya had told him, "Wait for me," This request he must by no means disregard. He had at first taken a month's leave, but if needed where he would take two months, then three months' leave and finally throw up the Sahib's service and live by begging, yet he would wait for her to his life's close.
Just when Rajib was going to rush out madly and commit suicide or some other terrible deed, a deluge of rain came down with a desolating storm of sunset. The tempest threatened to tumble his house on his head. He gained composure when he found that the convulsion in outer nature was harmonizing with the storm within his soul. It seemed to him that all nature had taken up his cause and was going to bring him some sort of remedy. The force he wished to apply in his own person but could not was now being applied by nature herself over earth and sky.
At such time, someone pushed the door hard from outside. Rajib hastened to open it. A woman entered the room, clad in wet garment, with a long veil covering her entire face, Rajib at once knew her for Mahamaya.
In a voice full of emotion he asked, "Mahamaya, have you come away from the funeral pyre?"
She replied, "Yes, I had promised to come to your house. Here I am to keep my word. But, Rajib, I am not exactly the same person. I am changed altogether. I am the Mahamaya of old in my mind only. Speak now, I can yet go back to the funeral pyre. But if you swear never to draw my veil aside, never to look on my face, then I shall live in your house."
It was enough to get her back from the hand of Death; all other considerations banished before it. Rajib promptly replied, "Leave here in any fashion you like; if you leave me I shall die."
Mahamaya said, "Then come away at once. Let us go where your Sahib has gone on transfer."
Abandoning all his property in that house, Rajib went forth into the middle of the storm with Mahamaya. The force of the wind made it hard for them to stand erect; the gravel driven by the wind pricked their limbs like buck shot. The two look to the open fields, lest the trees by the roadside should crash down on their heads. The violence of the wind struck them form behind as if the tempest had turn the couple asunder form human habitations and was blowing them away on to destruction.
The reader must not discredit my tale as false or supernatural. There are traditions of a few such occurrences having taken place in the days when the burning of widows was customary.
Mahamaya had been bound hand and found and placed on the funeral pyre, to which fire was applied at that appointed time.
The flames had shot up from the pile, when a violent storm of rainshower began. Those who had come to conduct the cremation quickly fled for refuge to the hut for dying men and shot the door. The rain put the funeral pyres out in no time. Meantime the bands on Mahamaya's wrists had been burnt to ashes, setting her hands free. Without uttering a groan amidst the intolerable pain of burning, she sat up and untied her feet. Then wrapping round herself her partly burnt cloth, she rose half-naked from the pyre, and first came to her own house. There was no one there; all had gone to the burning ghat; she lighted a lamp, put on a fresh cloth, and looked at her face in a glass. Dashing the mirror down on the ground, she mused for a while. Then she drew a long veil over her face and went to Rajib's house which was near by. The reader knows what happened next.
True, Mahamaya now lived in Rajib's house, but there was no joy in his life. It was not much, but only a simple veil that parted the one from the other. And to get that veil was eternal like death, but more agonizing than death itself, because despair in time deadens the pang of death's separation, while living hope was daily and hourly crushed by the separation which that veil caused.
For one thing there was a spirit of motionless silence in Mahamaya's form of old; and now the hush from within the veil appeared doubly unbearable. She seemed to be living within a winding sheet of death. This silent death clasped the life of Rajib and daily seemed to shrivel it up. He lost the Mahamaya whom he had known of ol, and at the same time this veiled figure ever sitting by his side silently preventing him from enshrining in his life the sweet memory of her as she was in her girlhood. He brooded; "Nature has placed barrier enough between one human being and another. Mahamaya, in particular has been born, like karna of old, with a natural charm against all evil. There is an innate fence round her being."
"And now she seems to have been born a second time and come to me with a second line of fence round herself. Ever by my side, she yet has become so remote as to be no longer within my reach. I am sitting outside the inviolable circle of her magic and trying, with an unsatiated thirsty soul, to penetrate this thin but unfathomable mystery, as the stars wear out the hours night after night in vain attempt to pierce the mystery of the dark night with their sleepless winkless downcast gaze.
Long did these two companionless lonely creatures thus pass their days together.
One night on the tenth day of the new moon, the clouds withdrew for the first time in that rainy season, and the moon showed herself. The motionless moonlight night seemed to be sitting in a vigil by the head of the sleeping world. That night, Rajib, too had quit his bed and sat gazing out of his window. From the heat-oppressed woodland a peculiar scent and the lazy hum of the cricket were entering into his room. As he gaze, the sleeping tank by the dark rows of trees glimmered like a silver plate. It is hard to say whether man at such a time thinks any clearly defined thought. Only his heart rushes in a particular direction – it sends forth an effusion of odor like the woodland, it utters a cricket hum like the night. What Rajib was thinking of I know not; but it seemed to him that that night all the old laws had been set aside; that day the rainy season's night had drawn aside her veil of clouds, and this night looked silent, beautiful and grave like the Mahamaya of those early days. All the currents of his being flowed impetuously together that Mahamaya.
Like on morning in a dream, Rajib entered Mahamaya's bedroom. She was asleep then.
He stood by her side and stooped down to gaze on her. The moon beams had fallen on her face. But, oh horror! Where was that face known of old? The flame of the funeral pure, with its ruthless greedy tongue, had utterly licked away a part of the beauty from the left cheek of Mahamaya and left there only the ravages of its hunger.
Did Rajib start? Did a muffled cry escape from his lips? Probably so. Mahamaya woke up with a start and saw Rajib before her. At once she replaced her veil and stood erect, leaving her bed. Rajib knewthat the thunderbolt was uplifted. He fell down before her – he clasped her feet, crying "Forgive me!"
She answered not a word, she did not look back for a moment as she walked out of the room. She never came back. No trace of her was found anywhere. The silent fire of her anger at that unforgiving eternal parting left all the remaining days of Rajib's life branded with a long scar.

WINNIPEG - If you thought Dustin Byfuglien was going to let a legal issue or rumours of a weight problem become a distraction going into the NHL season, the Winnipeg Jets defenceman provided a clear indication on Friday that would not be the case.
As the Jets arrived for medicals and physicals on the eve of the first official skate, Big Buff was calm and even produced a couple of laughs.
Byfuglien didnt shed any light on what happened the night of his arrest for suspicion of boating while intoxicated. But he did express remorse about what had taken place.
I cant really talk about it right now, said Byfuglien, noting he was heeding his lawyers advice.
As far as reports of Byfuglien weighing between 275 and 286 pounds, Byfuglien offered up a gem when asked if he wanted to set the record straight.
No, just write whatever you want, said Byfuglien. My weight is always going to be the same. I have no problem with my weight and Im happy with my weight. My job is to do what I do on the ice. I love my job, its something I enjoy doing. I get to bang people around and score.
Byfuglien is sure to be one of the guys the Jets rely on this season.
He looks fit, hes healthy and he looks great, head coach Claude Noel said. Yes he is. Hes one of the stallions in the corral.
Wed like to build off of what he did last year. I dont judge people by their numbers. I wouldnt say we need to get X amount of goals and X amount of points. I would like him to be an efficient player, which is pretty much what were going to demand of all the players.
Byfugliens teammates were quick to offer support.
Its been talked about since he was in Chicago, said captain Andrew Ladd. He looks the same to me. I dont think Ive ever had a problem with Buff fitness-wise. When you see what he does at his size, with the speed that he has and what he can do, its never been a problem for me. He looks good and once we get on the ice, well see what he can do.
Zach Bogosian thought Byfuglien even looked skinnier than last year and fellow blue-liner Mark Stuart who worked out with Byfuglien this summer in Edina, Minn. took it a step further.
I know hes in good shape and I know personally that hes ready to go, said Stuart. I tell people all the time, I dont think hed be as good a player if he didnt look the way he does or if his body wasnt built the way it is. Ive never seen anybody as strong as him. Hes powerful and he gets around the ice. Even if he wanted to be, I dont think he could be one of those guys that is just chiselled.
Byfuglien might prefer to keep a low profile when it comes to the media spotlight but guys who have played with him before call him a good teammate and a fun-loving guy.
Hes great in the room, said Stuart. Hes one of our leaders and hes going to be a big part of our leadership group here. Guys know what Dustin brings.
Hes a great guy. Hes a great guy to hang around with and hes the same guy he was in junior, added forward Eric Fehr, who played with Byfuglien briefly as a member of the Brandon Wheat Kings in the Western Hockey League.
Heres the thing, as long as Byfuglien does what he does best and performs on the ice, nobody is going to care one bit about what he may or may not weigh.

Updated Monday, Dec. 7, 2009 | 7:19 p.m.
Be careful driving on slick streets tonight — a winter storm is bringing heavy snow to Mount Charleston and the Spring Mountains and steady rain to the Las Vegas Valley.
By 5:56 p.m., about .18 of an inch of rain had fallen at McCarran International Airport, with rain expected through the valley into the evening. A Sun photographer who was out near Red Rock around 6:30 p.m. said there were snow accumlations there. A weather observer for the National Weather Service reported 8 inches of new snow had fallen by 3 p.m. at Mount Charleston.
Authorities responded to several reports of crashes Monday but none were serious through early Monday evening, authorities said.
The Nevada Highway Patrol was working 14 crashes in Clark County this evening.
Metro Police spokesman Bill Cassell said his department also was receiving several reports of crashes in the Las Vegas area.
"Routinely, when we have inclement weather like this, when there's moisture on the roadways, our accident volume goes up quite heavily," he said.
The weather service said most of the rain would fall before 10 p.m., with some some areas elevations between 2,500 and 3,500 feet to see some snow and rain mix.
The chance for precipitation tonight in the valley is 70 percent, with southwest winds at 10 to 18 mph, gusting as high as 26 mph, forecasters said.
While the Las Vegas Valley will get rain, snow is expected in the mountains above 4,000 feet, where 6 to 12 inches is expected, the weather service said.
The mountains above 7,000 feet may see 1 to 2 feet of snow, forecasters said.
The weather service has issued a winter storm warning through 4 a.m. for the Mount Charleston area, where from 6 inches to a foot of snow are expected, affecting Highway 160 over Mountain Springs summit between Las Vegas and Pahrump and Mountain Pass along Interstate 15 between Primm and Baker. The weather serve said that by 4 p.m., several inches of snow has been reported on Hualapai Mountain.
Earlier today, the Nevada Department of Transportation said that vehicles on state routes 156 and 157 would need to be equipped with chains or four-wheel drive.
The weather service said the storm could produce hazardous driving in the lower desert areas because of slick roads.
Although rainfall amounts from a half inch to an inch will be common, significant flooding isn't expected, forecasters said. However, local runoff problems might lead to minor street flooding or ponding in low-lying areas, forecasters said.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be dry before a weaker Pacific storm moves inland Thursday, bringing lighter amounts of rain and snow to the region, forecasters said.
A third Pacific storm with the potential for widespread precipitation is expected to move into the region Saturday and Sunday, the weather service said.
Just before 2 p.m., the temperature had fallen from a high of 50 degrees to 46 degrees at McCarran and the wind was from the southwest at 16 mph, gusting to 22 mph. The normal high temperature for today's date is 59 degrees and the record high is 76, set in 1938.
Tonight's temperatures will be 45 degrees at 9 p.m. and 43 degrees at midnight in the valley, the weather service said.
Tuesday's morning low will be 40 degrees and Tuesday's high will be 48 degrees, with mostly sunny skies.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — In addition to snow, ice accumulations could cause a problem we haven't had to deal with during the past few winter storms, power outages.
"We have ample resources ready to go if we're need at this time but right now we're really just monitoring conditions to see how the storm develops," said Michael Sznajderman, spokesperson for Alabama Power.
During power outages it's important to be conservative with opening and closing the fridge. Food will stay frozen in a fully stocked freezer for 36 to 48 hours if it stays closed.
Don't overdo it with milk and bread. Non-perishable food items go a long way.
Alabama Power also recommends turning off or disconnecting every appliance that was on when the power went off. Also, leave one light switch in the one position to know when power is restored.
As for staying warm keep plenty of blankets on hand and think of the fridge when using your fire place.
"If they are using a fire place or they have used a fire place be sure that the flue is closed after they've used that fire place so the warm air of the house doesn't go up the chimney," adds Sznajderman.
Keep extra batteries for flash lights and water stored and remember never use a generator inside your home.

The prefect for the Congregation for Catholic Education, Cardinal Zenon Grocholewski, has said conscientious objection by parents and students to civic education that is contrary to their convictions "is not only opportune but necessary."
In an interview with Italian media, the cardinal was asked whether it is licit that parents and students exercise conscientious objection to a school course that, "as in the case of Spain, promotes a society based on relativism and anti-Christian nihilism," he responded, "Yes, of course, because the fundamental rights of man recognized in the Universal Declaration of 1948 are being damaged."
The Polish cardinal recalled that during the Communist regime, he joined with others in conscientiously objecting to communist ideology by, "organizing courses in the Catholic faith," which at the time were illegal.
According to Cardinal Grocholewski, "All dictatorial regimes seek to steer schools into making citizens docile" to their slogans, which in the end convert them into "slaves."
"I personally have experienced this reality in my own country of origin, in Poland, where the Communist regime dictated what should be taught and which kind of behavior should be called good," he said.
"Catholic schools were closed and they tried to silence the Church. This was a clear violation of the basic right of parents to teach their own children according to their convictions," the cardinal continued. "And it is also a violation of the basic principles of democracy," he explained.
The cardinal said the same kind of political current is moving through the halls of power today in an attempt to impose "a relativistic concept on ethical-moral behavior," in order to stifle opposition to their decisions.

Prime Time: An unsavory character from a daymare
"The Language of the Night", by Ursula LeGuin, (Putnam, 1979), unlike her novels and short stories, comprises essays about writing science fiction and fantasy. In it, LeGuin notes that authors often encounter a character in their minds, perhaps in a dream, whom they then feel compelled to write about. She first ran into Shevek that way, and he turned out to be the "temporal physicist" who was protagonist of her masterpiece, "The Dispossessed."
Well, I met somebody like that, after 12:45 on a March afternoon, when I lay down for a nap. I don't nap every day, nor do I succeed in falling asleep quickly or maybe at all if I do lie down. But that Friday, I was probably asleep within minutes, knowing I would not sleep past the 3 p.m. start of MPR's "Friday Favorites," with Melissa Ousley substituting for Steve Staruch.
As often with dreams, I've no idea how we got to the events I remember. (We? There were others around, but I don't know who they were, or if I knew in the dream).
Anyway, there's this youngish man, younger than 30, tall but not gigantic, apparently Caucasian, dark hair, not thin but not seriously overweight, business attire, assertive and quite comfortable being assertive, sort of good-looking and self-satisfied about his looks. Somehow our subject is mountains, high ones like the Rockies to start with, and the value of maintaining them, rather than, for instance, leveling them to mine coal.
He has made some statement about mountains in general and his interest in them, and I have a feeling his major interest is not in their preservation. Then he mentions actually owning some, 11 in fact. It is clear they are not major peaks, and I expect they are mostly in the Appalachians or maybe Ozarks. He is expounding on them, but I remember nothing he said, and, strange as it may seem, am not sure if I understood precisely what he was saying at the time.
What I do remember is that I really dislike this guy. Not rage or blind hate or jealousy, though he obviously is wealthier than I, since he owns mountains. He is a bit overbearing, but not impolitely so. He is not too loud, but neither is he soft-spoken. But obviously, to borrow an image from Madonna, he is a Material Boy. He is probably single, but there's no indication that he is not attracted to women.
I wake up from my nap, sort of, or maybe I first dream that I am waking up, because he is still on board as I awake, and I am realizing I have to write about him. I slept an hour or so, and don't know what dreams if any occurred before Material Boy showed up.
What do I know about him? He is not an academic, though he probably has a bachelor's degree. His major was not in the natural sciences, math, or the arts, but that may matter little, since his wealth may be primarily family wealth. Don't know whether he went to a public or private college. He is sort of urbane, and probably was not a farm boy, or from a small town. I remember no pronounced regional accent, but maybe I was not attuned to that.
Ethnicity? Not clear. Not fair-haired, no pronounced mannerisms to betray cultural background. Name? Not Solomon Ginsburg, Tony Esposito, David Evans Thomas or Michel DuPont to suggest ethnicity. No name emerged from the dream, so we'll give him a non-committal one: Manfred T. Diamond. Nobody by that name is prominent enough to show up in a web search I did. Psychotherapists are interested in dreams. Maybe Manfred came from some trauma in my past. If I remember from an honors course maybe four decades ago, Freud even claimed that the dream you remember is not actually the dream you had, and, perhaps after analysis, was happy to tell you the dream you "really" had, which reveals why you hate your father. Manfred bears no resemblance to my dad.
You may remember my character problem with my five-part 2005 series on "Raki," the introverted female Anatolian stargazer that gave us "our eight-day week." But the idea for that story came first: What if somebody 10,000 years ago detected the barely visible planet Uranus and that made eight visible planets, as the ancients defined planets: Sol, Luna, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus? I needed a protagonist, and, as I consciously mulled it over, Raki showed up.
This time, Manfred showed up unbidden in a dream. I don't like him, and have little desire to know him better.

Standing before an estimated crowd of 700,000 people, Barack Hussein Obama took the oath of office for a second and final time Monday and delivered an address that laid out his vision for his second term and the country.
"Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time," Obama declared after reading the opening words of the Declaration of Independence that invoke people's essential equality and invoked the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Obama emphasized that this is a collective enterprise.
Dipping back into the nation's history, he began four consecutive paragraphs with the word "together" as he talked about America's journey through civil war, the construction of railroads and highways, and the determination to care for the vulnerable and poor.
Obama also used "We, the people," the phrase that opens the Constitution in four of five paragraphs, and asserted that the oath he took from Chief Justice John Roberts was no different than a solider signing up for duty or an immigrant becoming a citizen.
Obama specifically mentioned climate change as a challenge that must be met, referred to gay and lesbian members twice-once directly by calling them our "gay brothers and sisters", the other time through a reference to the Stonewall riots-and invoked the memory of the slain children in Newtown.
In the end, he urged the country's people to take up the challenges of moving to realize the nation's timeless promises in our time, to help the country answer the call of history, and carry into an uncertain future that precious light of freedom.

Making fun of New York City traffic is a joke well trodden, though it's certainly no laughing matter when you're embroiled in it.
YouTube star Coby Persin had no mind for the traffic that was passing by on a busy Manhattan street, and decided to annex a full lane all to himself for a photoshoot.
Continual honking and likely expletive laced rants didn't seem to do the trick to get him and his crew out of there, so a Manhattan vigilante took to his own methods to try and push him out of there. And it was hilarious.
Notice all the horns. And how self-centered it is for someone to stop off a lane of traffic in Manhattan on a Sunday night. They are completely nonplussed, just slightly moving their positions for the constant shots as the car's hazard lights are on.
It's truly a unique New York City masterpiece, it has everything: busy traffic, horns, a flashy car, a photoshoot then, of course, citizens handling the injustice in their own hands, in their own way.
He's since been on a mission to find the man who took a baseball bat to his windshield.

text: Dear Members, I just got the word from Kelly (McCann) and he has cleared the dates on his schedule for Saturday and Sunday October 16th and 17th, 2010 for the Emerson Combat Systems course at the Crucible Training Center. This will be a hard-core, hands-on and aggressive, hand-to-hand combat class. I will be covering unarmed vs. unarmed, unarmed vs. armed, and weapon vs. weapon training. I will be posting more info on the class curriculum and other details as they become available. Cost of the class is $250.00 for 16 hrs of training. We will be taking a ½ down payment of $125.00, as a deposit, to secure your position in class. At the last class we only had 2 sets of broken ribs, one broken finger, a broken hand, 1 heat stroke, and a couple of pukings. I promise I'll try and do better at Crucible. Best Regards, Ernest R. Emerson

Industry leaders are cautioning agents working Toronto's west end, warning them about a seemingly ideal client intent on luring them to vacant properties.
Four months after having its hand slapped by TREB, this online brokerage is closing its doors.
It will be interesting to hear how this situation plays out if one of the disadvantaged buyers complains. The sellers have directed the listing agent (form 244) to NOT present offers until a future date/time, so the arguments will probably be over whether the call from the listing agent to the seller regarding the bully offer constitutes presentation of the offer. The 2nd issue will likely lie around the fact that other potential buyers didn't rush to even see the home (never mind the missed offer opportunity), knowing they had time to do so, and further, whether the listing agent contacted other interested parties who did show the home. Time will tell
A bully offer is so juicy that the Seller's can't resist. The Seller doesn't think they'll get that on offer date. This is the only true "bully offer", anything other than that, we'll see you on offer night! A Seller has the right to change their mind with respect to initially wanting to only see offers on offer night!
I think that it comes down to the preparedness of the buyer's. When I start working with a new buyer, I do everything that I can to have them ready to head into the market. Having their pre-approval done, educating them on the dynamics and explaining a variety of situations that could happen in order to get them ready. Once they have a good foundation of the facts, then you head out into the real estate market place. Bully Offers are inevitable. They exist, so if you have your buyers as ready as you can, when that presents itself, it won't be a surprise. If they can bid, then they do, there is a lot to be said. So I think it comes down to working with your buyers and having them educated enough so that they trust your experience as an agent and don't start drawing their own conclusions about what they expect to happen.
The event will also feature a panel of industry experts and a presentation on the state of the Hamilton-Burlington housing market

[1]Here are your Apple rumors[2] and AAPL news items for today:
Certified: Chinese regulators have given Apple (AAPL[3]) a license for an iPhone that is compatible with the network used by the world's largest wireless carrier[4], the Wall Street Journal notes. The license comes as Apple is widely expected to announce a deal with China Mobile (CHL[5]) to offer the iPhone. Previous versions of the iPhone were incompatible with the TD-LTE technology used by China Mobile. However, Qualcomm (QCOM[6]) chips inside the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C, unveiled at a special media event in California on Tuesday, will reportedly work with China Mobile's network. Apple has long had deals with smaller Chinese carriers China Unicom (CHU[7]) and China Telecom (CHA[8]), but China Mobile has resisted its contractual requirements. Last month, Apple CEO Tim Cook reportedly met with China Mobile executives in Beijing to accelerate negotiations. China Mobile has more than 700 million subscribers. Recent reports indicate that the new iPhones won't be available on China Mobile until November. Apple has not yet announced a deal with the carrier.
Departing: At the special media event announcing its new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C on Tuesday, Apple confirmed that one member of the iPhone family will be leaving the product line[9], AppleInsider notes. The iPhone 5 is being dropped. Rumors had circulated in recent months that Apple would discontinue the iPhone 5 after the new iPhones were introduced. The iPhone 5C's internal architecture is said to virtually copy the iPhone 5, making it the logical successor to last year's iPhone. The two-year-old iPhone 4S will continue, however, becoming Apple's lowest-cost iPhone. The iPhone 5, which sold five million units during its launch last year, was plagued with production issues that constrained supplies at launch.
Update: Users of Apple TV can expect to get new software for their streaming devices next week[10], according to AllThingsD. Apple will release a major overhaul of the set-top box's software on the same day it releases iOS 7 to the public, September 18. The new Apple TV software includes an update to its AirPlay system allowing users to view content downloaded from iTunes on other TVs.

Town of Beloit group plans to speak out against police chief
Former Rock County Sheriff Howard Erickson is a spokesman for the grassroots group of neighbors, business owners and friends who got together to share concerns about the town�s leadership. Many plan to attend Monday night�s town board meeting, Erickson said.
�It�s so easy to complain,� Erickson said about the group�s motivation. �What good does that do unless you step forward?�
The group plans to attend a regular board meeting Monday where residents will voice their opinions.
The group�s frustrations center around five lawsuits pending in federal court against the town and its police chief, John Wilson. The suits claim Wilson made racial slurs and based his decisions in racist ideals. The claims also state Wilson retaliated against police officers who said his behavior was inappropriate.
The group also is frustrated with the town leadership in dealing with the situation, Erickson said.
In December, former town board Chairman Greg Groves resigned three days after an attorney released a video of Wilson�s deposition in which Wilson repeatedly admits to using the �n� word at work.
Groves already had decided not to run for re-election in April.
On Monday, the board voted 3-1 to temporarily replace Groves with town board member Dave Townsend. Rob Pavlik, who is running unopposed as chairman in the April election, also was nominated to fill the position.
After moving Townsend from the board to the chairman seat, the board deadlocked in its attempt to replace Townsend.
Pavlik was again nominated as was resident Dave Sterna. After three votes with the same 2-2 results, the board decided to wait until board member Dick LaMonte could attend a meeting. LaMonte was absent, and it is not clear when he will attend another meeting.
If you go
What: Regular meeting of the Beloit Town Board
When: 7 p.m. Monday
Where: Beloit Town Hall, 2871 S. Afton Road.
Details: The board could discuss or take action on appointing a replacement town board member. Residents also are expected to address the board about the police chief.

Aggie Women Mission
The mission of the Women Former Students' Network shall be to enhance the excellence of Texas A&M University by promoting the active engagement of women in the educational, charitable, and cultural life of the institution. The mission shall be witnessed through increased engagement of women former students in academic, research and service activities; through their expanded role as mentors of current women students, and future generations of women students; and through their increased philanthropic ties to the university and The Association of Former Students. In the representation of its membership and in all its activities, the Network shall strive to value and promote inclusiveness and diversity.
A Message from the President
Howdy! It is a privilege and an honor to serve the Aggie Women organization. As a board, we are very excited about the opportunities in front of us in 2017 and beyond.
Aggie Women is a community of women who are seeking opportunities to reconnect with Texas A&M University. Thank you if you are already a supporter of Aggie Women. Your ongoing support is critical to the sustainability of our mission. If you are not already a member, you are invited to join us as part of the Aggie family. Our focus is on helping make connections, giving back to the University and recognizing women previously and currently affiliated with Texas A&M for their leadership and contributions.
Whether you can offer your time, personal gifts or resources, your contributions are appreciated. Please check out the many programs that are in progress at our updated website, such as Aggie Women partnering with student organizations through our JumpStart mentoring program, Aggie Experts sharing expertise with students in the classroom or with other Aggie women and First Thursday events featuring guest speakers and held monthly at the Messina Hof Winery in Bryan/College Station.
There are so many outstanding Aggie Women. We celebrate some of them as part of our mission through the Legacy Awards and will be honoring them at our leadership conference planned for late April this year. Giving back to the University is core to our mission. Through generous donations and fundraising, we currently sponsor two endowed Presidential Scholarships. These scholarships provide the resources for two deserving students to help them reach their full potential while studying at Texas A&M. This would not be sustainable without the support of our extended community.
Should you have ideas or interests in supporting Aggie Women network, please send a note or inquiries to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you for being a part of our community. Your contributions will pay it forward to a new generation of Aggie Women. Without you, we are a small group of dedicated individuals with common interests. With you, we are a network who can make an amazing difference!

A Practical Companion to Ethics, Third Edition, is a concise and accessible introduction to the basic attitudes and skills that make ethics work, like thinking for oneself, creative and integrative problem-solving, and keeping an open mind. This unique volume illuminates the broad kinds of practical intelligence required in moral judgment, complementing the narrower theoretical considerations that often dominate ethics courses. It offers practical instruction in problem-solving by demonstrating how to frame an ethical problem and deal effectively with ethical disagreements. The book also presents ethics as an ongoing learning experience, helping students to deal with both the complexities of their individual lives and with the larger issues that exist in the world around them.
The third edition retains the most popular features of the previous edition, including challenging and relevant end-of-chapter exercises; brief text boxes that define key terms and review core strategies; and short dialogues that illustrate ethical dilemmas. The optimistic tone and brisk pace of the narrative provide an entertaining and intelligent guide to "everyday" morality. The third edition includes a more extensive treatment of ethics and religion (Chapter 2), which provides the framework for a moral dialogue that reaches across sectarian divides. It also contains a revised final chapter on the continuously unfolding nature of ethical understanding and an expanded appendix that gives detailed advice on writing various types of ethics papers. Ideal for introductory courses in ethics and applied ethics, A Practical Companion to Ethics, Third Edition, can also be used in any course related to critical thinking.

POTTSVILLE - A Coaldale man returned to prison last week after a Schuylkill County judge revoked his parole following his arrest on new charges.
Paul D. Weirich, 25, must stay behind bars until at least Feb. 3, 2013, before being eligible for parole again, and he could remain in prison until Feb. 8, 2014, Judge Cyrus Palmer Dolbin ruled Oct. 4.
"There are no extenuating circumstances here" that would justify paroling Weirich before Christmas, as the defendant had requested, Dolbin said.
Weirich originally pleaded guilty on April 20, 2011, to resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. At that time, Dolbin sentenced him to spend 25 days to 23 months in prison and pay costs, $125 in fines, $100 to the Substance Abuse Education Fund and $50 to the Criminal Justice Enhancement Account, amounts Weirich still must pay under the terms of the judge's recent order.
Coaldale police charged Weirich with committing his crimes on Aug. 28, 2010, in the borough.
Weirich testified he had been working and paying support for his daughter and some of his costs and fines.
"I would like to go home for Christmas" and spend the holiday with his daughter, Weirich told Dolbin.
No longer charged
Prosecutors withdrew charges against Benjamin L. Neidlinger, 19, of Mahanoy City, who had been charged with statutory sexual assault, corruption of minors and indecent assault, related to a Jan. 18 incident in Pottsville.
Also, prosecutors dropped charges of driving under the influence and careless driving filed against Travis Miller, 25, of Tamaqua, after an incident Aug. 5, 2011.
President Judge William E. Baldwin directed the men to pay the costs of their cases.

The ECHOES of a Serial Killer Reflect On His Son
For most boys growing up, their father has the enviable spot of being a standard to live up to. He helps raise you, mentor you, but also acts as a measuring stick for everything in life. But for Brian Cohn, being his father is the last thing he wants to be.
In the upcoming miniseries Echoes, the long-suffering schizophrenic Brian Cohn finds his medicated and regimented life pulled apart when his estranged father – who is on his deathbed – confesses to being a serial killer. With Kohn experiencing the earlier stages of the same mental illnesses his father has and him about to have a son of his own, discovering this horrifying new side of his father makes him question himself and how much he might have inherited.
First glimpsed in Top Cow's October collection of first issues from upcoming series Top Cow First Look, the black & white five issue miniseries Echoes is shaping up for a solo debut this month. Echoes is released as part of the publisher's re-minted Minotaur Press line of titles, showing off an "independent comics"-style with black & white printing and subject matter outside of the stereotypical Top Cow fare. Writer Joshua Hale Fialkov has made his name with challenging works outside the superhero mainstream on titles like Elk's Run and Tumor, and this collaboration with artist Rahsan Ekedal on Echoes sees him going down a path instigated by his own father issues as he raises a newborn child with his wife.
Newsarama: The idea of a son coming to the full realization of his father's past, and that he's connected to him by genetics and a history of mental illness for them both, is pretty harrowing. Can you lay out for us what Brian is going through here?
Joshua Hale Fialkov: Well, I think it's something that everyone goes through as they get older. I know that I've certainly started the winding road to becoming my father, in more ways than my barrel chest and graying beard. To take the idea and that combination of tentativeness and confusion over seeing your genetic legacy, so to speak, being visited upon you. For Brian, he's lived with the legacy of his father's illness and abuse his whole life, and now he's been given something considerably... heavier to cope with.
Nrama: How does a story like Echoes come to you, Joshua?
Fialkov: A lot of it came from impending fatherhood. I started on the book around the time my wife and I decided to have a child. Suddenly, every bit of neurosis I had was delivered onto the unborn fetus that would become my daughter. My own parents were pretty wonderful, but, at the same time, I know that things they did unintentionally (I'd hope) had a profound effect on the man I became. So, you sort of extrapolate that idea out to the premise of a thriller, and there ya go.
Nrama: As film watchers and book readers we've seen a pretty astounding array of serial killers. How would you describe Brian's father?
Fialkov: I spent a lot of time researching sociopaths and mental illness, to paint a picture of our killer that's as true to life as possible. That being said, the creepy imagery of the flesh dolls was something that came on well before I did the research. I like the idea of a killer who's trying to preserve and make his victims stay precious and perfect forever. That metaphor certainly carries over to Brian's concerns about having a kid, and not screwing her up the way his father screwed him up.
Nrama: His father's past isn't the only thing weighing Brian down – he's also on medication to help him stay in control. Can you tell us about Brian's condition and his schedule of taking medication?
Fialkov: I had some ace support in getting all of that stuff as true to life as possible. My father is actually a psychiatrist with an expertise in truly damaged people. The biggest liberty is probably the dosage watch, which is something that someone far less functional than Brian would use, but, having him be a slave to a wristwatch, and consequently hung up by the schedule and timing of his medication to stay in control and coherent is just such a great device, that I had to take the liberty. Brian's a fairly standard schizophrenic treated with a cocktail of drugs to keep him normal. Now, that being said, even the most in control, well-medicated schizophrenic, when put through personal trauma will begin to regress and lose control.
Nrama: Due to Brian's inherited medical condition and his father's past, Brian looks to himself when new murders akin to his father's start happened. What can that be like for a person?
Fialkov: I hope I never have to find out first hand!
Nrama: Echoes is coming out as the flagship book in Top Cow's relaunch of their Minotaur Press line. You've done work with Top Cow in the past, but what's it like to be part of their push for more unique titles like Echoes and Last Mortal?
Fialkov: It's exciting. You know, the direct market has a history of being uninterested in work that's in this vein. My aspiration with most of my work is to do traditional genre thrillers, but with unconventional execution. Finding an appropriate home that's supportive of work like that is tough. There's only a handful of publishers even capable of producing quality work that also have sound business plans and amazing people, Top Cow, of course, is one of them. Their commitment to quality and to finding new voices is really commendable, and I'm honored to be a part of the process.
Nrama: For Echoes and all of the Minotaur Press line, Top Cow is publishing them in B&W with greytones – a big shift from what some might think of as Top Cow's art style. What's that like for you?
Fialkov: I love black and white, and Rahsan Ekedal's work looks simply splendid that way. We both share a love for the classic Warren horror magazines from the 70's, and Echoes is definitely in that mode, so it's more than appropriate. Plus, again, when you're doing work that's so outside the box, keeping costs under control is a big deal, and b+w saves a bundle in labor cost.
Nrama: Before I let you go, anything else you can tell us about the book?
Fialkov: It's a five issue miniseries to start, but, I have a plan for how the series continues, should we be so lucky as to get a chance to do a volume 2. The first issue drops in December!

I have very accomplished brothers and sisters-not in the communal sense of the word but the familial. One of my brothers, Kelly, came thisclose, we believe, to being elected Pope despite being married, having children and grandchildren.
Or perhaps because of all of that. That God, what a joker!
Had Kelly been elected Pope, I think we might have seen NECCO wafers at Holy Communion, a prize wheel as part of Pick Your Own Penance and Holy Mother Church would have a whole new growth industry in models for stained glass windows at all the leading cathedrals in our franchises around the world.
And if you think Joan of Arc was a tough act to follow, meet Don/Dawn/Done.
Somewhere what's ever left of the Four Seasons are investigating copyright infringement. It will be of no avail or Valli though Steven Tyler senses a promotional push unlike anything Aerosmith has seen since hooking up with Run DMC.

Finished in oil rubbed bronze, the TS275ORB features the LifeShine technology, guaranteed to never tarnish, corrode or flake off.

Area Weather: Summer's winding down but where's the warmth?
Does it seem like summer is slipping away? Well, Saturday is already Aug. 1! We are losing about 2-1/2 minutes of daylight each and every day now, and I know many of you are asking; "when is summer going to arrive?"
Temperatures this week have been very much on the cool side. We had record low temperatures Tuesday morning across portions of the area. Both Morris and Appleton had record low temperatures of 48 degrees!
In addition, highs on Thursday were about 10 degrees cooler than average! We should see temperatures more seasonal on Monday, but that will be short-lived as temperatures will cool off by Tuesday and Wednesday. Look on the bright side: We haven't had to use the AC much this summer and it has saved on our electric bills. Have a great weekend!
In 1961 a downpour in Albert Lea brought 6.7 inches of rain in 24 hours.
INSOLATION--is solar radiation or heating received at the earth's surface. The name is derived from INcoming SOLar radiATION.

How to reduce the national debt
Three weeks ago, our country's leaders came within an hour of shutting down the federal government, fighting over relatively small cuts in this year's budget. Now comes the far harder task of securing votes to raise the federal debt limit by early July — before the nation's borrowing ability expires.
The stakes are now vastly higher. Failure to pass it could damage the economy and hurt every American. But there should be a way out of this that meets the core requirements of both parties and, at the same time, reduces our future debt.
Story Continued Below
Avoiding a calamity will require something different and far more ambitious than what got us through the budget skirmish. This is because the debt limit cannot be trifled with like a budget resolution. When we approach the limit — which is $14.3 trillion today — it is either raised, and we continue to borrow, or it isn't, and the United States defaults, just like the Lehman Brothers or Enron.
Such a failure by the world's biggest borrower would deal a severe blow to the U.S. and global economy. Even pushing the U.S. to the edge would scare every nation and institution that lends to this country. Confidence would be weakened, interest rates would rise sharply and our fragile recovery would be threatened. Allowing this to happen would be destructive.
The simplest approach would be to separate the debt-limit vote from the fierce debate on long-term budget deficits and pass the former now. After all, our debt is a dollar-for-dollar product of past budget decisions, not future ones.
Alas, in today's Washington, this is politically unrealistic. Too many in Congress are now demanding another round of budget cuts, or budget process reforms, in exchange for raising the debt ceiling.
This linkage is unfortunate because Congress always stepped up to this vote in the past. Indeed, Republican and Democratic presidents alike have recommended — and Congress has approved — increases in the debt limit dozens of times. Ten times over the past decade alone.
But the politics have become fiendish. This is because the issue of soaring deficits and debt, at long last, has reached center stage in Washington and beyond. The public is fired up — as last November's election results demonstrated.
Increasing the debt limit is now equated with favoring more debt. Not surprisingly, only 16 percent of respondents in the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll wanted to raise it.
With those attitudes, it is now impossible to pass a no-strings-attached bill that increases the debt limit. That is why President Barack Obama appointed a new deficit commission, chaired by Vice President Joe Biden and including only members of Congress. It starts this week, with the aim of devising a long-term budget solution — a so-called grand bargain — by mid-June.
The idea is to reassure voters by raising the debt ceiling in the context of cutting deficits. But reaching agreement on a gigantic $4 trillion deficit reduction — the number suggested by both Obama and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) — can't be achieved in just two months.

Automation of our daily environment requires going beyond installing ubiquitous computing and networking capabilities. In the Future Computing Environments Group (FCE) at Georgia Tech, we are making the environment more aware of the user. This awareness will play a major role in the computational augmentation of our everyday activities.
To provide the environment with an awareness of the user, we are developing ways for the environment to perceive and (re)act. In daily interactions, we are capable of perceiving the activity and the events around us, answering questions to do with who, what, when, where, why and how. We want to provide the environment a similar understanding.[5]
Our interest is in developing systems that can understand, interpret and recognize human actions to perceive what the user's intentions are and how these intentions can be supported. [2, 3] We will use audio processing technologies to aid in understanding on a verbal level and video and other technologies to aid in understanding on a non-verbal level what the users needs and interests are.
In the initial stages of our work on perceptual interfaces, we are working towards providing our environments with an ability to be context aware so that they can aid in the capture, integration and access of sensory data that we acquire from the surroundings. Perception systems can help with interpreting the identity and the location of the user within the context of the environments. Some simple assumptions can also be made about what the user is doing from the data captured from audio and video sensors. This form of context awareness can aid in annotation of the data that is captured.
Over the past 2 years, the FCE group has developed a number of applications that can benefit from intelligent environment activity. These applications have involved three different environments:
As a simple example, Classroom 2000 provides the ability to integrate different streams of activities together. For example, words that are written on an electronic whiteboard are automatically linked to a digital video recording of the audio in the class. Take a look at a a sample class that integrates the output from an electronic whiteboard with the audio in a lecture. This simple integration can be useful, but it is clear from our experience with Classroom 2000 that there are limitations to a simple timestamp integration technique. What we are lacking in our captured classes is some notion of the focus of the class at a particular time. To enable us to preserve more semantic information from the class, we are analyzing the audio and video signals recorded to provide higher level information.

GIDDINGS—Funeral services for Alice Alma ( Hengst) Melcher, 87, of Lexington were held Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2011, at St. James Lutheran Church in Lexington with Rev. Leif Hasskarl officiating. Burial followed in the church cemetery.
Mrs. Melcher was born Jan. 7, 1924, in Cameron to Oscar and Alma (Niemtschke) Hengst.
She was baptized on Jan. 17, 1924, and was confirmed on April 10, 1938, both at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Thorndale
She was married to Erhard Melcher on April 5, 1942, also in St. Paul Lutheran Church.
Mrs. Melcher was preceded in death by a daughter, Linda Ebelt Hodges; her husband; her parents; a brother and numerous brothers-inlaws and sisters-in-law.
Survivors are a daughter, Anita Mitchell and husband Milton, and daughter Kathy Dube and husband Gary.
Her first grandson, Byron Ebelt (wife Hilaree Casada), called her " MeMa" and was then referred to as such by all of her grandchildren, Krista Ebelt Moczygemba (and husband Nathan), Eddie Mitchell, Debbie Mitchell Scrog gins ( and husband Wayne), Bridget Dube West (and husband Nicholas "Bear") and Amanda Dube Anderson (and husband Ross), as well as by all of their close friends.
She has continued to be called "MeMa" by her great-grandchildren, Timothy, Austin and Faith Scroggins, Bethany, Jonathon and David Mitchell, Kaylie and Kaden Moczygemba and Benjamin Ebelt.
Mrs. Melcher enjoyed cooking, gardening, canning, making homemade noodles, embroidery, sewing and spending time with her family.
She also looked forward to the regular visits of her friend, Rita Owens.
Mrs. Melcher spent most of her years as a homemaker, but also worked for the Lexington ISD lunch room and Invader Boats as a seamstress.
She was active with her church helping to make quilts, braille books and fund- raising meals and could be found almost every year at Fedor Volunteer Fire Department Fish Fry.
Memorials may be made to the St. James Lutheran Church Video Fund, P.O. Box 247, Lexington, TX 78947- 0247 or the charity of one's choice.

Hi'ya Hounds..
A few weeks back I rented the delightful Japanese comedy classic "Tampopo," which, for those of you who haven't seen it, centers on a young widow named Tampopo who is struggling to make ends meet by running a noodle restaurant. One day a passing truck driver (Goro) saves Tampopo's young son from being beaten by a group of school girls and is rewarded with a bowl of very bad ramen. Goro tells Tampopo the awful truth about her cooking and she asks for his help. Together they search for the perfect ramen recipe. Comedy ensues. And very charming comedy it is, too!
Anyway, by the end of the film, I had a hankering for ramen the likes of which I've never had! I absolutely HAD to have it! Fortunately, I live in Los Angeles, and there are quite a few great ramen shops to satiate such a craving.. so off to Asahi I went. Ah, hit the spot all right.
But it got me to thinking about movies that center on food.. or the preparation or celebration of food.. And I came up with a small handful that I've seen that I think are lovely films.. films that beautifully or artfully capture the magic of cooking, eating, and celebrating. Films that make you hungry!
So here's my short list of faves:
(in no particular order)
1) Tampopo
2) Big Night
3) Like Water for Chocolate
Hit reply and share your faves!

So Solid Crew top of the pops
Rap and garage collective the So Solid Crew have notched up their first number one single in the UK charts with their song 21 Seconds.
The title of the single refers to the amount of time each of the 23 artists, which include Oxide and Neutrino, contributes to the track.
Click here to listen to a clip of 21 seconds
Neutrino, who, along with Oxide, had a number one in May 2000 with Bound 4 Da Reload, hit the headlines earlier this year when he was shot in the leg outside a London nightclub.
But the girls need not worry about losing the singles crown as their new album Right Now has gone straight to the top of the album chart.
Actress and singer Jennifer Lopez landed the second highest new entry with her new song Ain't it Funny.
The third highest chart entry is Ante Up by MOP featuring Busta Rhymes at number seven.
Other new entries include Missy Elliot with One Minute Man at number 10 and Raven Maize with The Real Life at number 12.
Radiohead's Knives Out, taken from their Mercury-nominated album Amnesiac, entered at number 13.
The late Michael Hutchence is once more in the charts, nearly four years after his mysterious death.
DJ Tall Paul has remixed the INXS's Precious Heart track, which after a great deal of radio play entered at number 14.
David Gray has slipped off the top of the album charts to number two with White Ladder, but still continues to sell well an incredible 67 weeks after its release.
Prince, who has reverted to his original stage name, is at number three with his best of compilation.
Other new entries in the top 10 include Catatonia's Paper Scissors Stone at number six and American boyband O-Town's eponymous album at number seven.

SACRAMENTO - An overturned big rig spilled diesel fuel and its entire load of steel pipes across the northbound side of Interstate 5 in Natomas Friday afternoon.
In addition to causing a mess on the roadway, the wreck forced the temporary closure of the freeway, leading to major traffic delays in the area, the California Highway Patrol says.
Traffic was being diverted onto Arena Boulevard while crews cleaned up the spills. No estimated time of reopening was provided.
The CHP said the driver of the big rig suffered minor injuries in the wreck. No information was provided on why he rolled the truck.

am so happy can't believe the end of Vegan MoFo 2013: The Vegan Month of Food is already here! It has been a busy month of cooking, photographing, eating, blogging, eating, blogging, and eating, but it's also been a lot of fun and I'm thrilled I was able to participate.
Since this post is my 22nd entry for Vegan MoFo, that means I not only beat my past two years, but I met the 20 post recommended minimum, woo-hoo!
Here's a brief overview of some of the posts I wrote that I really liked:
I had a rapprochement with chocolate and created a Choco-Green Smoothie to celebrate:
Portobello Pizzas, one of my favorite new recipes:
I went hiking at the nude beach, fully clothed, and lived to tell about it:
Vegan Peach Cobbler, two ways, one with sugar, the other without:
Baked Chickpea Burgers using frozen chopped kale = awesomeness:
My Vegetable Quinoa Salad with Herbed Hemp Dressing was featured on the Forks Over Knives website:
And I got listed as a contributor (OMG):
I created a new Carrot Pulp Cracker recipe using raw almonds:
And, last but not least, September marked my three year vegan-versary and my very first visit to an animal sanctuary:
What I learned:
Vegan Mofo 2013 solidified my commitment to blogging and helped develop my niche as an advocate for both compassionate and healthy living. Even though blogging is a ton of work, it is absolutely my passion in life right now and I love, love, love doing it.
What I could do better:
I was so focused on creating new content for my posts that I didn't have much time to discover new blogs. While I did install the Vegan Mofo RSS feed on my Feedly blog reader, I currently have over 500 unread posts (yikes!) and I may have to pull the "mark all as read" trick. However, I've been checking out new ones at the rate of about 1-2 a day and there is a lot of talent out there being devoted to promoting vegan food which I find very exciting.
Next year?
Despite the challenges of creating five new blog posts a week, will I participate in Vegan MoFo again next year? Heck, yeah, it was so much fun and I'm already looking forward to it!!! 🙂
Lest I forget, I hosted a giveaway for three Vega One Starter Kits last week and randomly selected three winners this morning. They are Jerilyn (entry #398), Jamie C. (entry #449), and Corry (entry #246). Congratulations!
Yesterday I uploaded a delicious new recipe to my healthy cooking app, Vegan Delish, contributed by Kerielyn of The Healthy Family and Home for Flourless Zucchini Brownies:
Want more of Carrie on Vegan? Connect with me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, or Google+.
And, if you have an iPhone or iPad, be sure to download my recipe app, Vegan Delish, featuring over 130 healthy, whole food recipes.
Already have my app? Would you consider writing a review? To do so, go into the App Store, search for Vegan Delish, hit the tab for ratings and reviews, and click "write a review." Thank you!!!
Have a great start to your week and see you back here on Wednesday.
