(2006) Dhoom 2 Reviews
Bollywood Hungama Review
Cut the crap… Cut the gyan… Let's come to the point straightway: Is DHOOM 2 as big as its hype? Does it meet the monumental expectations? Or is it a gas balloon with a leak?
Yes, DHOOM 2 works big time and here's why…
Very rarely do you come across Hindi films that marry form and content so beautifully. DHOOM 2 is cool, but beneath the sheen there's substance too.
Mounted on an extravagant scale, the film is a visual delight. The film travels from one breath-taking locale to another in those 16 reels, often making your jaw drop to your knees thanks to the sweeping impact it makes.
For any sequel to score high marks, it ought to be embellished with pulse-pounding moments. DHOOM 2 is a hi-octane thriller and the thrills, stunts and pace — vital for any thriller to strike a chord — are sure to keep you on the edge from Scene A to Z.
Most importantly, DHOOM 2 delivers what it promises: Escapist cinema at its best!
Any hiccups? Not really, but the music could've been better. That's about it!
So, what's the verdict then? A film like DHOOM 2 raises the bar for Hindi films. If you've tasted the best, you would never settle for anything komsi-komsa stuff later, right? That's the DHOOM 2 effect. For film-makers that tread a similar path, it's going to be an added responsibility to go beyond DHOOM 2.
In terms of business, DHOOM 2 is bound to create dhoom at the ticket window. It's a box-office triumph all the way. Time for Yash Raj to pop champagne yet again!
Write your own movie review of Dhoom 2
Ali's [Uday Chopra] dream of becoming a police officer has come true. He is now ACP Jai Dixit's [Abhishek Bachchan] right hand man. Together, they are trying to keep a tight leash on the crime in India. Little do they know what they are going to be up against.
Enter Aryan — Mr. A [Hrithik Roshan]. A hi-tech international thief. After pulling off a series of impossible heists all over the world, his next target is Mumbai, India. The case is given to ACP Jai and Ali. Helping them put the pieces of the puzzle together is ACP Shonali Bose [Bipasha Basu], Jai's college mate, now a police officer in her own right. For the last two years, Shonali has been tracking these amazing thefts and is now an expert on this thief, who no one has seen.
Once in Mumbai, Mr. A finds his match in Sunehri [Aishwarya Rai], a petty yet clever thief. She makes him an offer he finds very hard to refuse. A partnership! Aryan accepts. And so the game begins, a game of cat and mouse, a game of good v/s bad.
The cops — Jai, Shonali and Ali — are after the robbers — Aryan and Sunehri. From the deserts of Namibia to the backwaters of Goa, the mean streets of Mumbai and the ancient forts of Rajasthan and finally to Rio, Brazil.
DHOOM 2 is modeled on the lines of the chor-police sagas that Hindi films specialized in the 1970s and 1980s. In essence, it's not a path-breaking/inventive story, but what takes the film to dizzy heights is the sequence of events that unravel at a feverish pace. Right from the start of the film [Hrithik's first heist in Namibia; the robbing of a crown from a moving train] to his next target [robbing a precious diamond from a museum in Mumbai] to the theft in Jamnagar [Hrithik and Ash come face to face for the first time], the film whets your appetite from the word 'Go'.
If the first hour focuses on the cat-n-mouse game, the second hour changes tracks as it transforms into a love story. While the scenes between Uday and Bipasha [in a dual role] are cute, the ones between Hrithik and Ash build up slowly. The pace drops intermittently in this hour since the thrills are reserved for the penultimate reel, but a number of worthy sequences in this half conceal this tiny blemish.
Note the turning point in the tale — the revolver sequence between Hrithik and Ash and the lip-to-lip kiss that ensues; it's an outstanding sequence from the writing, execution and performance point of view. The pre-climax — the robbery of man-made gold coins — as also the climax chase are breath-taking as well.
The end is distinctive and will have its share of advocates and adversaries. Yet, in all fairness, it's one of the highpoints of the sequel. Any scope for the third installment? Oh yes, there is. Don't be surprised if Abhishek and Uday embark on their third mission. As for the climax shot vis-à-vis John Abraham's surprise appearance, it's an unfounded rumor!
DHOOM 2 is director Sanjay Gadhvi's finest effort so far. The execution of the subject is such, you just can't help get transported to a world of make-believe. Gadhvi has handled a number of sequences with aplomb. The Hrithik-Ash sequence mentioned above is one of them. The dialogue between Hrithik and Abhishek — after they've known each other's true identities — is another. The final scene of the enterprise [it would be unfair to reveal it here!] is yet another sequence that indicates that the director has done his homework well.
Pritam's music is fair. Barring the 'Krazy Kiya Re' track and the title track [filmed on Hrithik], the score is outright mediocre. However, the saving grace is the vibrant and energetic picturization, which takes the songs to another level. The choreography of the title track by Shiamak Davar is outstanding. Vaibhavi Merchant's choreography of 'Krazy Kiya Re' is admirable as well. Salim-Sulaiman's background score is highly effective.
DHOOM 2 is peppered with good looking visual effects [Tata Elxsi], besides a stylish décor/look. The action sequences as also the stunts [Allan Amin] do complete justice to the genre and the Indian audiences are bound to gasp with disbelief. Cinematography [Nirav Shah, Vikas Shivraman] is impeccable. The camerawork can easily match international standards. Dialogues [Vijay Krishna Acharya] are wonderful. Costumes [Anaita Shroff Adajania] are upmarket. In fact, the styling of Hrithik and Ash [the tanned look et al] deserves distinction marks.
Hrithik's casting as the antagonist can be accurately called a masterstroke. He's the actual star of DHOOM 2, the real scene stealer. In fact, you can't imagine any other actor enacting the cool robber with such precision. If there's anyone who's bound to benefit the maximum from DHOOM 2, it's Hrithik. No two opinions on that!
Abhishek in DHOOM 2 is what Shashi Kapoor was in Amitabh Bachchan starrers. Important yes, but relegated to the backseat. Abhishek does a fine job nonetheless. Only thing, he needs to take care of his appearance and posture when he's pitted against someone with a personality like Hrithik.
Aishwarya evolves into a different person in DHOOM 2. Her tanned makeup, her styling, her performance, it's a different Ash here. It's a complete departure from what Ash has done in the past. Does it work? Of course, she is in form!
Bipasha is just about okay as the cop, but is lively as the twin sister. Uday irritates at times, but handles a few scenes well. His portions with Bipasha's twin sister in Rio are sure to bring a smile on your face. Rimi Sen is hardly there.
On the whole, DHOOM 2 is a winner all the way. At the box-office, the film has already embarked on an earth-shattering initial and with multiple shows being conducted at multiplexes [16/18] with inflated ticket rates, the film will set new records in days to come. For Yash Raj, who've not only produced but also distributed the film, DHOOM 2 should emerge as one of the biggest hits of their career. Blockbuster!
Hindustantimes Review
Hand it to him, he's whooshed out of la-la land. Wearing a paisley-patterned bandana, major attitude and cool threads, he strikes dread. Stealing a batty Brit aunty's crown jewels, jazzy Junagadh swords and Mumtaz Mahal's gold choker, he makes the security personnel look like jokers. Ha ha.
Or ho hum? To be fair Sanjay Gadhvi's sequel to the biker hit Dhoom, doesn't exactly spell gloom. It's super slick, smart and speedy. Its visuals are straight out of the Riviera fashion mags even when the plot sags.
The lip-gloss camerawork, the editing chops, the imaginative sets, the branded costumes and the picture postcard locations are boss. Yahoo for gloss.
Uday Chopra, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Hrithik Roshan and Bipasha Basu in a still from Dhoom 2.
The storyline and script, errr, however go for a full toss. Cadging elements from Hollywood's Steal (ironical title that), Heat (cop and robber conversing over coffee cups) and dear Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief (a cat burglar turns out to be a woman with a remixed past), the outcome is, well, pretty derivative.
Disappointingly, the eye candy bikes from the first part aren't the USP anymore, vroooming in prominently only towards the do-or-duh climax. Oh well.
Out out such worries. Forget logic and sense. Just go with the flow, or the world's most charismatic thief (Hrithik Roshan). This dude dances like a dream, switches disguises with cosmetic perfection, and hangs out ever so lonely in plush rooms, planning his next attack.
Is he the baddy or the goody gumdrops? Can't say but the dialogue does pop up with the non sequitur, "If there were no crime breakers, then who would give cops their jobs?" Huh.
So, hot on the theif's trail, there's a cop with a high IQ (Abhishek Bachchan), a cop with no I or Q (Uday Chopra) and a law keeper cutie (Bipasha Basu) whose hips don't lie, ever. All these Charlies and Charlizes are introduced in slo-mo, a storm studio fan blowing their hair photogenically.
Late entrant: sultry Sunheri (Aishwarya Rai) who could either be a police undercover agent or someone eyes which are so oceanically deep blue that boats could bob in them. Sigh.
Till the intermission, the cat-`n'-mouse chase is tremendous fun and fabulously loony. Then, it all turns nonsensically sluggish (witness: the Russian roulette scene between Boy Bandana and Blue Eyes). The action finale has a techno-edge, but good golly, the epilogue with a surprise twist leaves you as cold as an ice lolly.
Gadhvi's direction is first-rate during the drama-lite moments but ordinary when the proceedings get emotionally heavy duty. Pritam's music is deja hear; most of the songs seem like a variation of the original Dhoom title track.
Doubtlessly, this is Hrithik Roshan's big show. He dignifies the most brain-scrambling scenes with his overpowering conviction. Deadly is the word for performance. Uday Chopra, ham-hamming away, is not likely to be a threat to Rajpal Yadav. Bipasha Basu, in a ditzy double role, fits the bill as well as she does a much-flaunted bikini.
Aishwarya Rai is drop-dead gorgeous. Even while dealing with an underwritten role, Abhishek Bachchan is correctly restrained, opting to be on low simmer than on a blazing bonfire. Yeah, so the technical sophistication and star value are enough reason to go towards Dhoomsday again.
Times of India Review
Man o man! Just look at what these men can do! They fall from the sky, roller-coaster down super highways, stroll across speeding train tops, get fast and furious on their mean bikes, bungee jump off precarious cliffs and simply take your breath away. Why? Because they do all this without losing a hair off their hunky heads and make all the girls sing 'Crazy kiya re …' And when they are not showing off their mard-no-dard skills in the adventure sports department, they rip off their shirts and showcase their rippling bods on the dance floor, making the girls scream 'Crazy kiya re !' all over again. And yes, it ain't the gaga gals alone who are reeling; the guys are whistling too.
Because Dhoom 2 brings to Bollywood its first full blown action flick where the adrenalin just keeps pumping and jumping and the daredevilry almost outstrips Hollywoodian heights. The wannabe 'mards' are wonderstruck!
More importantly, with Dhoom 2 's sequential splendour (it's truly a sequel that carries the charisma forward), Bollywood gets its first fundoo film franchise: Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan), as the diehard cop and his archrival, the perfect chor who made a dashing debut with John Abraham in Dhoom 1 , sky-rocketed with Hrithik Roshan in Dhoom 2 and might just explode with Shah Rukh Khan (isn't he chor No.3) in Dhoom 3 .
Needless to say, the highlight of Dhoom 2 is its brilliant and breathtaking action sequences. Kudos to stunt director Allan Amin for making the Mission Impossible series seem kid's play. With it's opening sequence itself — a near-impossible heist in the African desert — the film sets the pace and simply never lets you slip away from the edge of your seat. Each time you think you might just sit back, that mindblowing ball of energy (they call him Hrithik Roshan) explodes in your face with some new bit of super-human stuff, like blasting in and out of manholes, leaping up and down cliffs, vrooming ahead at unimaginable speed on his bike which almost becomes a body part for him or displaying his unrivalled dancing skills. Yes, Hrithik's the hero of the show and you know it when even our proverbial ice maiden sheds her icicles for her first screen kiss. She simply can't resist him and sizzles with passion whenever she spots him. As Sunehri, the small time thief who joins our ace robber as his partner, Aishwarya pitches in her hottest portrayal till date. And together, the Hrithik-Ash pair ends up as an almost perfect screen pair, leaving nothing to be desired. Can we have some more tangos together, puhleeze!
But remember, there's Abhishek too. Now he's an actor who holds his own even if he doesn't have the author-backed role. As the 'karela' cop-with-no-social-graces, he's irrestible and a charmer too. Watch out for the confrontation sequence between the chor and the police. Ekdum magic! And when it comes to the action cuts, he displays a cutting edge too, even as Uday Chopra recreates his Nagpada tapori chutzpah as Ali, the soft sidekick, with consummate ease. So who's left? Aah Bipasha! Looks great, brings back the bikini to Bollywood, and gently slips into the shadows as a pretty accessory. But who's complaining. It gets too hot anyway with the Ash-Hrithik cavortings on the dance floor, in the basketball field, in the living room, on the job…
Story? Do we really need one! Let's say it's just a simple cops and robbers tale that ain't simply done. The thrills, the chills and the testosterone twists will keep you humming: 'Crazy kiya re !'
Time to take a back seat, Mr Bond. Because Bollywood's Dhoom is bigger, better and goes beyond…
Subhash K Jha Review
Clever… very clever. That's the impression you come away with from this sumptuous package of gloss glamour glitter and an oomph quotient that starts at the neck and goes to the naval.
It's the region above the neck and below the waist which Dhoom 2 occupies effortlessly, fluently and virally. If you've seen the first installment of Dhoom (and who hasn't?) you would know Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra carry forward their characters. And that's not an easy thing to do.
Abhishek is saddled with an aura of solemnity while everyone else has a rollicking time. The others whip a i. Abhishek is clouded in gloom.
Make no mistake. Dhoom 2 is about letting your hair down as far as it can go. The carnivalesque climate is carried all the way to Brazil where the sweaty tropical mood is imbibed into the characters as they play a strangely ambivalent game of cat and mouse. Yes, there are the law-enforcers and the law-breakers. But how do we tell them apart? Certainly not by the glamour quotient which is applied to the antagonist Aryan (Hrithik) and his moll Sunehri (Aishwarya) far more intently than the cop-hero Jai (Abhishek) and his sidekick Ali (Uday Chopra) as they go about their law-enforcing antics in the spirit of a chic comic strip.
And if you add Bipasha's double role to the heady brew , you've got a film that's the equivalent of a glossy calendar.
The film moves from Mumbai to Brazil in undulating movements of yes-yesssssss and no , there are no 'nos' in the know-it-all flick that fuses furious action and svelte skin-show in a mix that leaves you dizzy and slightly breathless.
Movies were never meant to be so heady, unsteady and ready to rock at the drop of a hat….not that anyone is in a hat, except Aishwarya (God bless her stunning soul!) in one song where her Barbie-doll movements drive us krazy with a 'k'. Just to be kool!
Crazily paced and with superbly crafted moments of aerial and grounded stunts, all centering on the one and only Mr Roshan, Dhoom 2 serves up a bigger brighter sexier and sassier gourmet's dish than the earlier film in the series.
Director Sanjay Gadhvi doesn't try to please the audience . The optical orgasm happens on its own volition, creating for us a sense of renewed and engaging deja vu. All the chutzpah and chirpy glamour from the first film is back. Plus loads of oomph. The storytelling careens from downright clownish courtship (Bipasha and Uday Chopra are like an new-age Aroona Irani and Mehmood) to the outright passionate.
Aishwarya and Hrithik are arguably the best-looking couple the Hindi cinema has ever seen. That they look and vibe so beautifully together is one of those cinematic occurrences which no one can control or predict…least of all the director whose vision in an adventure-caper of this scale, depends on everything from an actor's lighting to the light-man's mood.
The light falls just right on each actor. I can't think of one film since Sholay that has showcased a bunch of top-notch actors in a more flattering light. Bipasha's absurd double role as a no-nonsense Mumbai cop and Brazilian oomph –girl notwithstanding she's in fine shape.
So is Abhishek, lending to his solemn-cop's role a kind of edgy intolerance that makes him just the right foil for the "perfect thief" played by Hrithik Roshan?
The film belongs to Roshan…make no mistake about that. What an actor, what a dancer! What a screen presence! …In a vital love sequence with Aishwarya where the international thief has to show the desperate anxiety of a lover whose heart has been stolen, Hrithik's controlled inner and outer movements create a world of strange and stirring impulses for his unmoored thief-with-no-brief character.
The Ash-Hrithik chemistry goes a long way in putting the film's mood of whooping delight into a humane perspective. The two anti-socials look into each other's smoldering eyes, whisper about love life and food to each other, play basketball together and even exchange an intense kiss.
At the end of it all , we're left gasping for breath. Hrithik , Ash and the rest of the cast look bronzed and sweaty… the heat is a killer.
Of course there have been other more well thought-out capers. But has there ever been a caper as good-looking as Dhoom 2? Has Aishwarya ever looked and acted more authentically in any of her masala films? Has Hrithik ever given more substantial proof of his magnetic star power? Has Abhishek had a bigger chance to serve as a foil in a film where's his male co-star gets the author-backed role?
The answer to all the questions is a big no.
Dhoom 2 is a slick flick with aerial and ground stunts that flatter Hrithik's star presence , only to deceive the audience into believing it's all very easy. This is a film that makes the big-screen spectacle look jovial and casual. Look underneath. There's a method to the smirking madness. The grueling glamour of a stunt-driven drama has never been more fluently placed before us.
Bollyspice Review
Two years ago, Yashraj Films decided to delve into a genre they never touched in the past. The world of action was unfamiliar territory for the production house which was famous for making candy floss cinema. So when they decided to make the film Dhoom, it shocked many and made them curious as well. The rest is history, as after Dhoom released, it became an instant hit all across India. YRF actually were able to deliver in the action genre, further establishing they are the number one production house in Bollywood. The movie was a first of its kind in Bollywood with its bikes and slick action. It made every guy in India want to ride a Hayabusa and you couldn't go anywhere in India without hearing Dhoom Machale as someone's ring tone. It brought the careers of the two lead actors to life. All in all, Dhoom created dhoom all across India and it was a film that would surely never be forgotten. Now, the Chopras riding high on this success knew they had to cash in and relive the magic of Dhoom. Thus two years later, we have the sequel to the action packed thriller. They signed some big names along the way to accompany the two protagonists to assure that this Dhoom will be bigger and better than its predecessor. So the million dollar question is, is it? Is Aishwarya Rai hot? The answer to those questions is an obvious YES!!! The original Dhoom set a standard for itself and the new Dhoom absolutely obliterates those standards and goes miles ahead of the original. Get ready for the ride of your life, as Dhoom 2 provides the biggest entertainment of the year!
The movie retains the characters of Jai (Abhishek Bachchan) and Ali (Uday Chopra) as the cops going after new villains this time after the death of Kabir (John Abraham). Joining them in the hunt is Shonali (Bipasha Basu). The crooks this time around are a guy that goes by the name of Mr. A a.k.a. Aryan (Hrithik Roshan) and the femme fatale, Suneheri (Aishwarya Rai). From the first scene where Hrithik pulls off the heist on the train, you know you're in for one hell of an awesome time for the entire two and a half hours. The action is clearly notches ahead of the first one. I mean they made rollerblading in an action movie look cool. Add to that sand boards, jet skis, and everyone's favorite dream machine, the returning motorcycles, and you experience one action packed journey. The first half is extremely fast and does not even give you an opportunity to breathe. There are many action sequences in this half and all are done in an amazing manner. The highlight would have to be Hrithik rollerblading all across Mumbai and Abhishek in a helicopter trying to sniper him. The robbery preceding this sequence was outstanding as well. The opening train sequence as well as Aishwarya's intro sequence in which they heist a sword, deserves high marks as well. Just put it, the action of the film is what makes it so damn good. This is some of the best action and entertainment you will see ever. The only problem in the film is the somewhat slow second half. Compare it to the first half, and it is pretty lethargic. You get so many things happening in the first half that the second half gives you time to relax before the climax. The second half is mainly used to further Hrithik and Aishwarya's relationship, which was nice, but add the action, and it would have been a knockout. Another interesting development is pre interval regarding Aishwarya's character and that is another thing that was developed in the second half. The second half was mainly used to further the story line. Many might say there isn't much as far as plot is concerned, and they would be mostly right because there are some loopholes here and there. But what I say is, these types of films don't rely on good scripts. All they need is some good action, music, and bodies, and this films passes on all counts. This is a full fledged masala entertainer, and that is exactly what it should be treated as. If people want ground breaking cinema, then spare yourself and watch some art film, instead of bashing a completely awesome popcorn entertainer.
The climax more than makes up for the action-less second half. The much anticipated showdown between Abhishek and Hrithik was awesome. It was great to see the buddies in real life beat the daylights out of each other. The stunts pulled not only in this sequence, but the entire film, were brilliant. You just watch it on the big screen and go, "Wow, what on earth did I just witness?" The climax capped off one hell of a joy ride. Full marks on this department as well. The only thing that will meet with a mixed reaction is the ending of the film. Some, like me, will love it, while others will find it a strange way to end the enterprise.
Sanjay Gadhvi has to be the luckiest man in Bollywood. Not only does he get a chance to direct the coolest movie of the year, but he gets to direct the hottest actors in Bollywood. Life could not be better for this man. I'm not saying it was all fun and no work, but it seemed like he had one hell of a good time directing this one. Like I said before, script does not play a main role in a film like this, but it was a decent story, especially if you liked the original Dhoom. He told the story well, but most importantly he was able to show great chemistry of his stars. The few scenes Hrithik and Abhishek have together show how at ease these two are at working together. Abhishek and Bipasha also looked good together. The scenes Abhishek had with Aishwarya were nice as well, but if there is one highlight of the film, it is without a doubt, the chemistry between Hrithik and Aishwarya. Why these two were never paired together before is beyond me. You can actually feel the electricity and heat when these two shared screen presence together. They even have a little surprise for the viewers pre-climax which I'm sure will shock many. The scene that leads to the shocker was probably the best scene in the film. Very dramatic and well done by Ghadvi. Clearly put, this is your jodi of the year folks. So much props to Sanjay Gadhvi for extracting great chemistry from his actors, telling a good story, and keeping a great pace of the story. Even in the second half when the narrative slows down, you don't feel bored because there is always something going on to keep your interest.
Also high marks for the cinematography of the film. They made all the exotic locales look absolutely beautiful. Whether it was the deserts of Namibia, the beaches of Rio, or even the streets of Mumbai, everything was shot brilliantly and made the movie look beautiful, as if the stars didn't do enough. The music of the film is solid as a whole. It is perfectly fitting for a movie of this genre. It has nice beats and can get you up and groove on the dance floor. The best of the lot is Dhoom Again. It is a worthy successor to Dhoom Machale. The picturization on Hrithik during the opening credits and Hrithik and Aishwarya during the end credits were absolutely rocking. Crazy Kiya Re is a funky cool track. But the track is nothing compared to the picturization. This has to be one of the hottest number to hit the screens ever. Aishwarya sizzles and steals many a hearts, including mine, with her sexiness and hotness. Touch Me is a good track that is nice to dance to, but you won't be able to tell from the picturization. After watching Hrithik do his number, it is a tough act for Abhishek to follow and he just seems a bit off. Bipasha does alright, but Uday's presence was not needed in the song. My Name is Ali is just a song to further the Uday/Bipasha storyline. The picturization was nice only because of Bipasha's presence. Dil Laga Na is a great climax song. It surely gets you ready for the big finish. The picturization of the entire cast in Rio was marvelous. Hrithik and Aishwarya are amazing once again. Uday and Bipasha hold their own, and Abhishek, all by his lonesome does solid as well. All in all, Pritam provides a cool soundtrack, even though it's not his best work. But it surely is good music for the type of film this is. The best part of the music though had to be the background music. It meshed with the film beautifully and totally got you hyped for everything that was taking place. Dhoom is all about pumping people up and getting them excited. That is exactly what the music does.
Some (I) were apprehensive about bringing Hrithik into this franchise as the negative character. He has always been known for being the chocolate hero type and a film like this is definitely something we haven't seen him in before. After actually watching the movie, I can't think of anybody who would have been better than Hrithik in this role. Hrithik as Mr. A is brilliance personified. He gets the best scenes, the best stunts, and the leaves the biggest impact on the film. Not to mention, this is the best he has ever looked in any of his films. Also, Hrithik makes the villain look damn cool. There will be instances in which you can't help but root for him. This is one of the finer performances in his career and he totally steals the show. Best villain will be a tight race this year and Hrithik has just become the front runner. It is tough to wonder what Dhoom 2 would have been without Hrithik's presence. Hrithik is back on top of the mountain!
Abhishek is back with the same role as the original, so we knew what to expect from him. He does a fine job as always, but is completely overshadowed by Hrithik. Dhoom is a series where the villains are the most memorable characters and that is why Abhishek has to take the backseat, just like he did in the original. This does not mean he was barely there or anything. He still has a strong role and does the best he can with it. Watch out for him in the climax and his opening sequence when he gets some great stunts to do.
Aishwarya is in a role we have never seen her in before. We are so used to seeing her in roles where she is supposed to be an Indian girl wearing saris and looking beautiful, and that makes it even more amazing how different she is in this film. Ash has never looked this sexy or hot in her life. She will drive any man insane with her look and expect lots of dropped jaws and major droolage. Yes, she has major (Dh) oomph factor in this one. This is a complete departure from doing mujras in Umrao Jaan. Let me tell you, it is a welcome departure seeing her in such little clothing and such sexified dancing. As for performance, she lends adequate support to Hrithik. The scene between her and Hrithik pre-climax, as mentioned before, is extremely powerful. It was also great seeing her actually get down and dirty and do some action. With Dhoom 2, Aishwarya proves she can be both beautiful and sexy, as well as do drama and action. She is as versatile as they get.
Bipasha disappoints with her role. Her performance was not bad. It is just her role did not provide her much to do. The first half, she looks promising as the cop and you think you're going to get some good things out of her, but she is completely ignored in the second half. But I'm willing to throw her performance out the window because she looked so damn hot. As if Aishwarya wasn't enough to increase your heart rate, watch out for Bipasha in a bikini to also drive you mad. We just wish there was more of this sexy body in the second half.
Uday, just like Abhishek, reprises his role from the original so we knew what to expect from him as well. He is kind of annoying, but does provide some laughs, which just adds on to the entertainment. While everyone gives you action and looks, Uday is there for some comic relief. It does not really matter, as I'm sure most people won't pay attention to him anyway.
Dhoom 2 supercedes the original in all departments: action, babes, bodies, stunts, gadgets, music, and performances. It is not a film to take seriously, so you will be gravely disappointed if you do that. The film is, without a doubt, the biggest and best entertainer of the year because it is an out and out masala film. It may as well be the hottest and sexiest film of all time. Popcorn films do not get any better than this. Come for the action, but stay for Hrithik and Aishwarya. The movie will become one of the biggest winners of the year, and anyone who liked the original shall love this one. So, enjoy the holiday season and buy yourself a ticket to Dhoom 2. You surely will not regret it. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the roller coaster ride of your life. Until then, we shall wait to see if there will be a third one.
Business of cinema Review
The precarious thing with a film that's been built up too much is the question of whether it'll live up to its hype. Dhoom:2 is very 'aware' of its scale and expectation, and is cautious not to let down. It doesn't!
Traditionally, sequels have been weaker than the original. But here, it's Dhoom:2 that's outdone its predecessor. The film is not a sequel in the strictest sense — this is a continuation of the same premise; but it's not a literal continuation of Dhoom's story. So this time ACP Jai Dixit (Abhishekh Bachchan) is chasing another chor, one slippery Mr A (Hrithik Roshan) who's a disguise whiz kid and as slippery as a "geeli macchi." Uday Chopra's back as the goofy Ali, goofier and more adorable this time, with the best lines in the film. And yes, bikes do make an appearance, as do helicopters, speed boats, and the rest of paraphernalia.
This "kaabil aur cool chor," is not interested in the riff raff, instead aiming for priceless coins, antiques and the likes. So there he is, intellect with taste and dashing good looks. Who wants boring nerdy ACP Jai, then? The film has us rooting for Hrithik's A, unabashedly.
Meanwhile, Jai is assisted by ACP Shonali Bose, played by Bipasha Basu, who has French manicured nails, and is silly enough to handcuff herself accidentally. Mr A, too finds a student in Sunehri (Aishwarya Rai).
That the film retains its commitment to masala, and against any sense of adherence to reality, is clear in its first sequence. When Hrithik successfully completes a heist, you have break into the fabulous 'Dhoom Again' song. (The song is so good, you end up tapping your foot, and then you want to get up and dance.)
There's implausibility rife. Like a scene in a bar, where the cop n robber meet, drink and dance, have profound conversations, and no arrest is made! What's with the nonsense that he can be caught only in the act? Isn't he wanted for previous robberies? But Dhoom:2 isn't bothered about boring niceties like continuity (characters disappear without explanation, like the pregnant Rimii Sen and flop cop Bose) and scene justifications.
The only thing more impressive than the stunts are Hrithik's disguises. You'll have your jaw drop to the floor for some of them. And the prosthetic make-up is outstanding.
Much has been said about the styling of the film. But the focus is obviously the two actresses. Abhishek has dressed better in other films, and looked better as well. Bipasha looks fab in the bikini scene, and carries it off fabulously.
And now Ash. You won't believe it's her. With the smoldering eyes, toned bronzed body, barely-there skirts, glossy lips and big hair, she looks doll-like delicate and molten hot at once. She relishes her role, and looks like she's having a blast. Abhishek, on the other hand, looks bored. It's one thing to underplay a performance to look aloof and intense, and another to go about with a single, sulky expression.
Hrithik is the film. In a scene on top of a train, he stands there, hair blowing in the wind, looking like he could be in an ad for anything – shampoos, soaps, perfume, clothing, even, shoes! He's looking that good, (over muscled though) and he was always a good actor. As the larger than life robber, he adds both fun and mystery to the role, with a dash of good ol' herogiri. The chemistry between Ash and Hrithik is strange, but it works. It's not electrifying, but has its moments.
The stunts far outdo those in Dhoom. They'll have you gasping 'wow', more than once, as you keep your eyes glued to the screen; afraid you'll miss something if you blink.
The soundtrack is a fit tribute to Dhoom and goes 'dhoom, dhoom, dhoom again' every once in a while. The songs (Pritam) range from fab to regular and have been insinuated unconvincingly.
The film is chauvinistic enough. While it is Bose who has been 'studying' Mr A for two years(!), it's Jai who realizes that there's a pattern to the robberies. Ditto on the chor side. Sunehri for all her bravado isn't really bright like the mastermind A. Again, there's a basketball scene, where Sunehri puts a fair fight, but loses out in the end to Mr A. Reminded me of the basketball scene in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, where Kajol loses out to Shah Rukh. I remember how hotly, we as media students, had debated that scene as a class project.
The dialogues, here are functional, except Ali's, which add to the humour. Corny at times, but innocently so, and will definitely make you smirk at least. Even the Baywatch spoof makes you chuckle at its cheekiness.
The last half lags due to stretched scenes. A good half hour was unnecessary and is such a burden in a fast paced film like this. Also, the cops n robbers game gets less exciting after you've watched it for an hour and a half already.
Action by Allan Amin should be considered the standalone hero of the film. Whether it is Jai vrooming out of the water, against the force of gravity; fights on top of the train, helicopter and bike chases, it's almost like watching a video game and nothing seems impossible. They've truly outdone themselves and have definitely pushed the bar for stunts in films. Of course, in keeping with the spirit of the film, there's not a scratch on anyone's face and their hair is always perfect.
The camera work (Nirav Shah, Vikas Sivaraman) is competent, capturing both intense scenes and stunts perfectly. This couldn't have been an easy film to shoot, but one wonders how elevated the film would've been, if the camerawork were as daring as the stunts. Director Sanjay Gadhvi has made a film that beats Dhoom several times over. That's a compliment for a director, who's made both the original and the always-more-challenging sequel.
The title couldn't be more apt. I tried to find the literal translation of the word in English, and it seems to be 'blast'. Yup… and this film is a blast. Don't miss it. It's totally dhoomakedaar!

- On May 2, 2017, Dewitt Carolinas, Inc. received unanimous approval from the Raleigh City Council to rezone a combined 39.4-acre tract of land along St. Albans Drive and Benson Drive. The approved zoning is a combination of CX-20-CU and CX-7 CU. This will allow Dewitt Carolinas the flexibility to develop projects with heights ranging from seven stories to 20 stories. The developers worked in close collaboration with the Midtown Community Advisory Council and its immediate neighbors to address concerns over height, noise, light and traffic culminating in 18 specific conditions applicable to the property under the new zoning.
Patrick Martin, Chairperson of Midtown Citizens Advisory Council, stated: "Dewitt Carolinas took an unprecedented collaborative approach from the beginning and through a series of meetings and public hearings we reached consensus on a package of development conditions. It was truly a pleasure to deal with this developer and we look forward to their future endeavors."
Todd Saieed, CEO of Dewitt Carolinas, Inc., stated, "Ven Poole and I have been dreaming about this day for over 15 years and since we bought the original 20 acres we've had a clear vision of what we want to accomplish here. This is our home town and literally our back yard, so it's exciting to have the zoning flexibility to dream big and eventually bring those dreams to reality."

By Zoe Larson, Kaitlyn Anderson, and Bre Garcia H. H. Holmes The Early Years Death Real name: Herman Webster Mudgett
Born in Gilmanton, New Hampshire on May 16, 1861
Father a "violent alcoholic", mother a "devout Methodist"
Spent one year at the University of Vermont, then transferred to and graduated from the Medical School at the University of Michigan The Pitezels Newspapers Media Herman Webster Mudgett was hanged on May 7th, 1896, at the Philadelphia county prison. Hanged at 10:12, pronounced dead 20 minutes later.
After his death, Mudgett requested that his body be imbedded in cement in a pine box so that his body couldn't be used for medical research. The box was to be buried 10 feet deep to keep it safe from grave robbers. The box ended up weighing over a ton. Benjamin Pitezel Carrie Pitezel (Canning) Howard Dessie Alice Aliases Dr. Henry Howard Holmes Henry Mansfield Howard D. T. Pratt Harry (Henry) Gordon Edward Hatch J. A. Judeson Alexander E. Cook A. C. Hayes George H. Howell G. D. Hale Mr. Hall H. H. Howard Bibliography: Nellie Books Court Documents Some Popular Newspapers Include: Popular Credible Some Credible Newspapers Include: Forensic Evidence Identification Chloroform In the 1890s, identification of bodies were determined by a combination of measurements including height, arm span, hair color, length of left foot, and other external characteristics.
Fingerprinting didn't emerge until 1903, and was only an option if the deceased's finger prints were on file. Holmes smothered Benjamin Pitezel with chloroform before staging the explosion.
It was invented in 1847 and became very popular over the next five decades. It had many uses such as being mixed with cough syrups, dispensed as a sedative, a sleep aid, a pain killer, a colic, and seasickness.
At the time, no one knew what amount was a safe dose, but most doctors prescribed chloroform in abundance. People died at different rates, but children and alcoholics were among those who died the fastest.
It can be detected in the brain months after death and it darkened the blood, which gathered in the brain, lungs, liver and kidneys. The possibility of detection was available at the time, but it wasn't widely known or looked for. The Holmes Castle Arrival In Chicago Holmes arrived in Chicago in the summer of 1886, where he got a job at a drugstore in Englewood, a suburb of Chicago, and close to the proposed site of the Chicago World's Fair.
The drugstore was owned by a Dr. Holton, who was quite ill. His wife had taken over running the store, and was overwhelmed. After her husband passed away, Holmes convinced Mrs. Holton to sell him the store.
Soon after, Mrs. Holton suddenly disappeared. Holmes claimed she had gone to visit relatives in California and decided to stay there permanently. On the property across the street from the drug store, Holmes decided to design and construct his own building.
Holmes wanted to keep the inner-workings and true floorplan of his building a secret, and changed workers frequently, often firing them without pay, claiming their work was shoddy, even when it was perfect.
Here he met Benjamin Pitezel, the carpenter.
Construction took one whole year, and was finished in May of 1890. The Holmes castle included: Winding hallways with dead ends and doors that led nowhere
Trap doors
Secret passageways
A secret chute from the second floor to the basement coated in axle grease
A room next to his office fitted with an airtight walk-in vault with asbestos-coated walls
Gas pipes routed to various rooms in the building, controllable only from his office closet
A basement with hidden chambers and a very large kiln
A sub-basement "for the permanent storage of sensitive materials" Castle Turned Hotel Holmes had planned for the whole first floor of his building to be occupied by shops. He sold his old drug store and created a new one in his own building. He also added a restaurant and barber shop, along with several fronts, including a doctor's office and the headquarters of the Warner Glass Bending Company. Holmes also turned the apartments on the 2nd and 3rd floors into hotel rooms. During this process, Holmes bought fine furniture and light fixtures on credit, without any intention of paying for them.
When creditors came to collect money, Holmes would refer them to an H. S. Campbell, the supposed owner of the building, that Holmes made up to serve this exact purpose. Buying on Credit Insurance Scams Holmes began to approach people, often who worked for him, to take out life insurance policies and name himself as beneficiary. When asked by one woman, who did his laundry, why this would benefit her, he explained that if she took out a $10,000 policy, he'd pay her $6,000 right now. This way, he'd make a profit of $4,000 upon her death, but in the meantime, she'd have $6,000 to spend.
Holmes also formulated a plan that ideally involved a family of three taking out a life insurance policy. If he could find three similar cadavers, he could present the them to the insurance company and collect their benefits without the family ever having died. He also knew through his medical education that it was almost impossible to identify burned bodies at the time. Alexander Bond Emiline Cigrand Minnie and Nannie Williams Robert Lattimer Wade Warner The Pitezels Holmes Is Arrested On November 17, 1894, Holmes is arrested in Boston. He is charged with swindling the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Association the city out of $10,000 by palming off a corpse as the body of Pitezel. The Trial During the trial, Holmes elected to represent himself in court. Julia and Pearl Conners Julia Conners was told she was getting an abortion, but instead of using enough chloroform to sedate her, Holmes used enough to kill her. This was not an accident.
Holmes then went into Pearl's room and killed her with chloroform as well. Christmas Eve, 1891 Robert E. Phelps Holmes asked Emiline to get a paper from inside the vault for him. Once inside, he closed and locked the door, then listened to her scream for the next few hours. She suffocated.
Inside the vault, Emiline's footprint was etched into the door. It is believed that she stepped in some kind of chemical, then tried to force the door open with her foot. The trial began on October 28th, 1895, and lasted 6 days.
Holmes was convicted of the murder of Benjamin Pitezel (1st Degree Murder) on November 19th, 1894. Other Newspaper Headlines: "A CHAMBER OF HORRORS!"
"SKELETONS TAKEN FROM HOLMES CHARNEL HOUSE!" Books Holmes Murders Alice and Nellie Pitezel Their naked bodies are found in shallow graves in the basement of an old house in Toronto. Holmes had made them climb into a large suitcase. He then ran a tube into the suitcase, suffocating both girls with gas. Holmes Kills Howard Holmes poisoned Howard, then cut him into pieces so that he would fit into a small oven. His charred remains were all that the police could find. The Original Plan Holmes and Benjamin Pitezel formed a plan to collect insurance money. Holmes was going to find a cadaver, burn it, and turn it into the insurance company claiming it was Mr. Pitezel, who had a life insurance policy of $10,000.
Mr. Pitezel told his wife, Carrie, and his 4 children of this plan, so that they would not worry. Holmes's Plan Unfortunately for the Pitezel family, Holmes had a plan of his own. He killed Mr. Pitezel himself by poisoning him with chloroform. Holmes then set a fire to burn the body.
Mrs. Pitezel sent one of their daughters to identify Mr. Pitezel as planned. Both the daughter and Holmes signed written statements that this was, indeed, Mr. Pitezel's body. From the start of this case, it was front page news, not only in the major cities where he committed his crimes, but throughout the country.
The nation had a powerful fascination with Holmes, and he became an overnight sensation.
Before the horror and outrage, there was an admiration for his audacity. However, in the 1890's, most court cases involved sit-in reporters. For these reasons, most of the dialogue from the court room during the Holmes case can be found in public newspaper articles. Unfortunately, we were unable to access any official court documents due to time restrictions and limited access to non-circulating items in the library system. Holmes killed Nannie by locking her in one of the rooms that was connected to the gas system.
An old stove was found in the cellar and inside there were charred human bones a watchchain that was owned and worn by Minnie Williams. Mr. Lattimer was also locked in one of the gas-filled rooms Holmes also killed a man named Wade Warner by locking him in the kiln in the basement. (We'll get to them in a minute) Media Explodes Fire In The Castle Holmes asked a mechanic to put an oil burner in connection with a glass-bending scheme in the basement.
"…I began to suspect him from the time I went in. the construction was peculiar, the noxious gases in the basement did not strengthen my confidence in him, and then his methods. Why, I had not been there two weeks before he talked to me about having my life insured. I then told him that I was not only not going to have it insured, but that thereafter I would take my meals elsewhere. I found, in many ways, that he was anxious to have the building burn up through my apparent carelessness, and I learned about that time he had it heavily insured."
- Mechanic that worked on the Holmes Castle On August 20th, 1895, the Holmes Castle caught fire.
A nightwatchman heard an explosion, saw that the building was on fire, then heard three more explosions.
Two men were seen entering the building between 8 and 9pm that night, and they may have placed the kerosine that had been determined as the source of the explosions.
Interestingly, Holmes is said to have installed his own arson device in the building. Detective Frank Geyer wrote a book about the case titled The Holmes-Pitezel Case, published in 1896. The book starts with the Benjamin Pitezel murder, continues with his investigation on locating the missing Pitezel children, and includes information about Holmes' trial.
The book includes a lot of information from the case including an interview with Mrs. Pitezel, many photographs, and the perspective of someone that worked the case.
Holmes thought he could commercially gain from his infamy and he wrote a book. He saw this as a way to counter the many charges other books had written about since there was a booming market for books on the case. Books: 1. Blum, Deborah (2010).

After Chappell cleaned the bones, Holmes would mount them and sell them to medical teaching facilities for around $125.

The company will present the certificate to Johnson as a gesture in memory of the event that made him a household name. The race sponsor feels it represents the value his legend has to Australian motor racing history.
The story of "The Rock" and of Johnson's rise to motor racing legend began at the 1980 Bathurst 1,000.
A spectator rolled the rock on to the Mt Panorama circuit and into Johnson's path, ending his race and almost his career.
"As I took the left-hand kink before The Cutting I saw a flaggie waving a white flag, so I knew there was going to be a rescue truck around the corner," Johnson says.
"I was focussed on that as I headed over the crest, flat out in around second gear. The truck was about a metre out from the wall, so there was still plenty of room to get through, or there would have been if the rock hadn't been in the middle of the road.
"I opted to go right, up the banking to try and avoid the thing, but the front left wheel hit the rock which broke the wheel and flattened the tyre, then because of the sudden load change the back tyre blew out as well.
"From then on I was just a passenger. The car went straight across the road at 45 degrees and rode along the top of the fence. For a little while there I thought I was going to go over and then the next minute I came crashing down with a bang.
"That was it, I couldn't believe it. I'd been leading Bathurst, the biggest race in Australia, by a country mile from the likes of Brock and Bond, and now just 18 laps into things it was all over all because of a rock!"
Johnson, who had mortgaged his house and everything else he owned to make the starting line that year, made his way back to the pits with the shattered car, unaware people already were offering to help.
In a great display of public support, donors dug deep to donate almost $34,000 to the struggling Queenslander.
Edsel Ford, grandson of Henry Ford and general manager of Ford Australia at the time, offered to match each donation to the Johnson fund dollar for dollar.
Ford was impressed by Johnson's determination and spirit, and was determined to help the Queenslander make it back on to the track.
Armed with almost $78,000, Johnson and his volunteer crew rebuilt the shattered car and returned to "The Mountain" in 1981 as the reigning Australian Touring Car Champion.
"That rock is the best and the worst thing that ever happened to me," Johnson said. "If I could find the guy who threw it today, I'd probably kiss him!"

The first time you burn your Diptyque candle, allow it to burn for at least two hours, until the whole top is liquid with wax. This will help your candle burn evenly throughout. After blowing out your candle, re-centre and straighten the wick. Before relighting your Diptyque candle, trim the wick to 1/4-inch length. By shortening the wick you allow it to burn more slowly and also avoid unsightly black smoke marks around the edge of the glass.

what parts match?
A home owner from New Jersey says:
April 3, 2016
I have broken windows balances and bars. see images. before finalize orders, i need to know parts are correct. I saw you have 1.25 and 1.00 shore widths. which one I should select?
Thank you
Thank you
Paul from SWISCO responded:
April 5, 2016
This looks like our Series 850 balance. In order to determine what shoe width you need, you will have to measure the width of your current shoe. That is the only way to determine that for sure.
I see your pivot bar is also broken. If you're interested in replacing that, as well, see our 26-318.

Mike Snyder's Partner conference wrap up is a good read for anyone following Microsoft developer and business product lines. My favs follow:
- During that same Kevin Turner keynote, Microsoft did something I NEVER thought I would see. Microsoft announced HARD dates for when they will ship products...and I'm talking about major products here. Kevin said they will ship Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server 2008 and BizTalk Server 2008 all on February 27th, 2008. I almost fell out of my chair when he said that. Usually they will say stuff like "later this year" or "first half 2008", so for them to give a very specific date is really shocking. And really exciting too I might add. On a side note, I asked one of the Microsoft CRM developers what he thought of this hard date announcement and his response was "I am glad I am not on that team" so I am sure there will be lots of long nights and cases of Red Bull for those developers over the next six months.
- The big news of the conference was that Microsoft announced its Live CRM pricing. There is so much to talk about on this topic, I am working on a separate dedicated blog post just to cover this news in detail.
- In addition to the pricing announcement, Microsoft released information about the Live Customer Early Access Program. If your company is interested in getting on board with Titan before it goes live to the public, please contact us and we'll try our best to get you into the program. You can also try to apply at http://www.crmlive.com.

(1997 Subaru Legacy Wagon) The front wheel bearing seal with the rubber lip, does it go on the transmission side of hub or the wheel side? Last year the one I took apart was on the wheel side, last weeken with help from someone we found the seal on the other front hub with the rubber lip on the transmission side. Both of these hubs had been done in the past by other shops, so someone put one in wrong. Which is correct?

Thanks for the file, it does look like the one with the lip is on the inner side of the hub. The seals both look the same except one has the rubber lip on the edge of it. I do not recall it having a double lip only one on the outer side of seal.
The inner seal on the housing goes with the outer lip to the outside towards the C/V( if that make sense ) The inner seal you descibe is a double lip seal , Correct ?

Gov. Zapata cancels prior traffic tickets to encourage license plate renewals
The government of the state of Yucatan officially announced on Thursday, December 29, 2016, the cancellation of holdings, fines, surcharges and vehicles' taxes (tenencias) for 2016 and previous years, in exchange for the citizens' license plates renewal in 2017.
The provision was communicated by the Secretary of Government, Roberto Rodríguez Asaf, who indicated that this measure is taken in order to support the finances of Yucatecan families, and to have a reliable vehicle registry for better security in the state.
Rodríguez Asaf recalled that for eight years there has been no license plate renewal in the state.
This decree waives the payment of all traffic tickets, 2016 registration (tarjeta de circulación) and license plates.
This cancellation will take effect starting Monday January 9, 2017 and will benefit all citizens who complete the corresponding procedures before June 30.
In addition, he said that the design of the new plates is in line with the national regulations that makes letters and numbers more readable in favor of security.
Unhappiness by some citizens
However, the announcement of the cancellation of debts and unpaid traffic fines for vehicle owners, far from becoming good news, generated displeasure in social networks among those who did meet their payments and procedures on time.
The annoyance was greater among those who came to make their payments just a few hours before the Secretary General announced that Governor Rolando Zapata Bello would issue a decree to cancel fines, surcharges, "tenencia" and "tarjeta de circulación".
Replacement plates will cost $1,200 pesos per vehicle, and the state goverment estimates a recollection of $400 million pesos, as there are approximately 330,000 vehicles in the state.
Rolando Zapata Bello best governor in Mexico
Rolando Zapata Bello, governor of the state of Yucatan for the PRI Institutional Revolutionary Party, obtained the highest ranking in the last quarter of 2016, as the best governor, according to a survey by Covarrubias y Asociados, published by Mexico City's www.eluniversal.com.mx news website.
According to a report by the agency, which has been engaged in the investigation of public opinion for 30 years, Yucatecans perceive that their state is better off than others in the country, both in global management and security, as well as in other issues such as transparency, support for education, and combatting corruption and poverty.

UNWANTED post has started landing on the doormats of criminals – courtesy of police.
Since launching last month, Durham Constabulary has sent 72 letters to troublemakers who have been arrested in the city centre.
The letter warns offenders to be on their best behaviour when entering the city or face severe action.
If they are caught misbehaving, their details could be passed on to CCTV camera operators, Shopwatch or Pubwatch members.
They also sent a stark warning that the tough measures may also lead to them being banned from certain premises if they re-offend.
Inspector Paul Anderson, head of the neighbourhood policing team in Durham, has been signing the letters and said more will be sent out in the run up to Christmas.
The aim of the initiative is to keep the city centre safe for residents, workers and visitors.
He said: "Durham is a historic, beautiful and generally-safe city which welcomes visitors and we are aiming to keep it that way.
"Those who commit criminal offences or antisocial behaviour are now aware we will be keeping an eye open for them when they come into the city.
"More letters will be sent out in the weeks leading up to the busy festive season."
Last month the police and other agencies launched Safe City, an ongoing initiative aimed at raising confidence and improving the quality of life for residents, shoppers and visitors to Durham city.
Safe City was officially launched on October 26 by police, County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue, Durham County Council, Safe Durham Partnership and local retailers and residents.
The campaign will be regularly evaluated using a number of criteria, including levels of recorded crime, reports of antisocial behaviour and public confidence.

Consumers Favorite Best Hybrid Car
June 28, 2013
Since their introduction into the market, hybrid cars continue to dominate with cutting-edge technology and a wide range of benefits. The hybrid car manufacturers have not rested and are continually looking for more innovative ways of ensuring that the quality of hybrid cars in the market continues to improve. The best hybrid car in the market has so far been the Toyota Prius. The Prius was the first hybrid to be introduced in the market. The journey and progress of the Prius has been steady and it continues to maintain its market share. The car was voted best by a convincing 19% of the consumers in the market. The car boasts of the best fuel economy, its spacious cabin, comfortable ride and the plenty of features that the car provides to the users.
The second place goes to the Ford Fusion. The car is handsomely styled with a relatively sporty feel. The car was voted best by 12% of the consumers in the market. The attractive feature about this car is the supreme fuel efficiency, as well as the affordability of this midsized sedan car. Most consumers consider this car to be a big bargain compared to most other high-end hybrid cars in the market.
Coming in third was the Chevrolet Volt. The car was mostly attractive because of its ability to allow their users to drive around using electricity alone for over 40 miles. The car has also been proven to cruise at speeds of up to 100 mph. This is much higher compared to most other hybrid vehicles in the market. While the Chevrolet Volt is the most fuel-efficient vehicle that you are ever going to get in the market, the problem is that the car is relatively more expensive compared to most of the alternatives available.
Also making the cut is the Lincoln MKZ hybrid vehicle. This made it into the top five hybrid vehicles mostly because of its cost. This is one of the best choices for the people who are looking for a quality entry-level luxury hybrid sedan. It has also been proven to have good fuel efficiency.
Closing the list of top five most popular hybrid vehicles in the Lexus RX 450h, though the vehicle is still relatively expensive it is deemed worth the price. The car delivers on its promise of effective fuel economy, power, luxury, and utility. This is a sure good choice for the people who are looking for quality regardless of the cost.

Yes sir, that's my Dutch Baby, rising to ridiculous heights in the kitchen then imploding as it makes its way to my table. It arrives misshapen and sugar-powdered, soaking up melted butter and waiting for a spritz of fresh lemon. I squeeze. I eat. I sigh. Ooh, baby, that's good!
After an 18-month gestation period, the Original Pancake House finally made its Seattle debut, quietly opening on Crown Hill this fall. Things didn't stay quiet for long, though. Neighbors have been checking it out and coming back for more. And folks like me, thrilled to have their favorite breakfast-joint recreated in Seattle, are regularly making the pilgrimage.

The first Original Pancake House, founded in Portland in 1952 by Les Highet and Erma Hueneke, is the mother ship of a coast-to-coast, mom-'n'-pop franchise, now run by second- and third-generation family members. As Washington's sole franchisee, Ken Naito scouted Seattle sites for years before finding the right spot to open his second pancake house, modeled after his first in Kirkland's Parkplace Center.
This Crown Hill construct, complete with trademark knotty-pine décor, a 10-seat counter, and a take-out window (yet to be put into action), is housed in the gutted and remodeled remains of McGrath's, recently closed after 50 years in business. I doubt many of the old-timers are still mourning McGrath's. After all, the Original Pancake House is a fitting replacement for those in search of a good old-fashioned Big American Breakfast — hold the greasy spoon.
There's no better place to get your fill of flapjacks, hubcap-size apple cinnamon pancakes, buttermilk waffles, fruit-filled crepes, hefty omelets, Dutch Babies and other I-can't-believe-I-ate-the-whole-things. Kids have their own menu (pigs in a blanket! blueberry pancakes!), as do seniors (smaller portions, kindly discounted). The batters used to create pancakes, crepes and waffles are made here from scratch. The bacon is thick and smoky, the coffee strong and plentiful, the whipping cream's the real deal and the OJ is fresh-squeezed on-premises. The staff isn't quite up to the well-oiled-machine-like standard of their more practiced Kirkland counterparts, but they're every bit as cheerful and helpful.
Reservations are unavailable, but those in-the-know know to call ahead up to an hour in advance (on weekends only) to put a name on the waiting list. Check in upon arrival, and when your party's complete you'll be given preferential seating. That said, I never mind waiting for a table. Folks hanging out in the big reception area sip complimentary coffee and chat with their neighbors: just like at an old-fashioned neighborhood cafe, which, come to think of it, is a fitting description for this sunny spot.
It's become our family tradition to order an apple pancake as an appetizer as soon as we're seated ($9.95). We divy up this spectacle of sticky, cinnamon-scented Granny Smiths like a pizza and save the leftovers for later. Deciding what's next is always a tough call, which is why options like the waffle combo (waffle, eggs, meat), half-orders of pancakes and crepes available in thirds (one, two or three — your call) make life easier for the undecided.
My husband regularly chooses the Swedish pancakes ($7.95), whose sweet batter is griddled to lacy goodness, filled with lingonberries and served in broad folded rectangles. He also has trouble resisting the sourdough flapjacks ($6.95), a substantial stack whose sourdough flavor is just shy of intense. These beauties are heftier than the basic buttermilk cakes ($4.95), which are fluffy but not overly so and served as part of a variety of breakfast combos.
Given the fresh eggs sold here, I often convince my kid to have the Junior Plate ($4.50). Junior gets the bacon and pancakes; I eat his egg, over-easy. Other kids will prefer to prove that life is short and you should order dessert first, insisting on the chocolate chip pancakes ($6.95 full-size, $4.50 on the kid's menu). Heavy with melted chocolate chips and garnished with whipped cream, these are a chocoholic's idea of breakfast. Pair this with a hot chocolate ($1.75), and you'll be in a cocoa-induced stupor for the rest of the day.
In the line of duty I've ordered dishes I wouldn't normally choose but would gladly order again. These include the eggs Benedict served on weekends ($9.95). Kudos to the kitchen, which poaches those eggs till they're perfectly runny, layers them over Canadian bacon on an English muffin and treats the whole thing to the lightest of hollandaise. Baked in the style of a frittata, the five-egg vegetarian omelet ($9.50) makes a bounteous brunch and easily feeds two. It came studded with fresh broccoli, mushrooms and tomato, filled with sharp melted cheddar. The side of crisp hash-browns lived up to the name. (They didn't on an earlier visit, when "hash whites" accompanied my eggs Benedict.)
When I'm not on the job, my must-haves rarely waver. It's either the thin, onion-scented potato pancakes ($7.95) offered with sour cream or applesauce (both, please!), or the Cherry Kijafa crepes rolled with tart Montmorency cherries and sweet Danish cherry liqueur ($7.75). Unless, of course, I'm hankering after that Dutch Baby ($8.95). You may beg to differ, convinced there's nothing better than a crisp pecan waffle, a stack of coconut pancakes or the sourdough French toast (all $6.95). And you won't get an argument from me.

A very quiet night......
Again, we are waiting for the results of his blood draw. They should be back around noon. We are hoping for a big jump from yesterday.
I would like to say "hello" to Sherry, Rob and their children Jenna and Brandon Will. They lost their daughter Ashlynne in December to neuroblastoma. Sherry, Rob and family have lived our nightmare and more. I hope they drop in and say "hi". My heart goes out to them... Diane and I were introduced to them by the fine people of ACCA. ACCA is an Air Conditioning Contractors Association that did a tremendous amout of work around our house when Cody was diagnosed the first time. They provided Christmas for the kids when Mom and Dad were busy dealing with Cody. We are forever indebted to them.
I will post more when I get more info....
I just spoke to Cody's nurse, Kelly. She said his numbers are at 470. She has to wait to ask the doctor if we can leave today. Technically speaking he must be at 500 but I think if they would do his blood again right now it would be 500. They draw blood at 4am so I know it is higher than 470 now. Cross your fingers....
1400 and we are HOME!!!!! He is playing Webkinz and chillin.... :D

Mickey, thanks for the nice words about ACCA. As you know Cody is our "adopted" child and all our members care so much for him and ask about him always.
I'm in Colorado Springs for the ACCA national conference - we had 3 inches of snow last night - tell Cody that I will make a snow ball for him.
Hope to read that you get to go home today.
Hugs to Cody, Pat (ACCA-NCC)
- February 5, 2008 at 9:31 AM
Mickey and Diane,
I'm so glad to hear Cody's running around! He's spunky for sure! :-)
Hope he gets to go home today, and you can have some nice family time!
- February 5, 2008 at 9:58 AM
Glad to hear that he up and running around. Terrorizing the nurses is a good sign. Praying that the good health continues and that he gets to come home today.

Mickey & Diane - looks like Cody is making some nice progress. Glad he finally gets to go home, both for him and you and the kids. Said a prayer for "the little trouble maker" during my run this morning. : -

I got an email from Caring Bridge today. The Wills are working through the loss as best they can and working on setting up a foundation for Ashlyne.
I'll have to check into ACCA.
Have a Good Day!

The stakes could not have been higher for Sen. Marco Rubio as he went into Thursday night's presidential debate, so perhaps it is not surprising he placed one item on the podium to remind him the source of his strength.
As reported by Western Journalism, Tuesday's winner-take-all contest in Rubio's home state of Florida is a must-win for him. The 99 delegates up for grabs would do a lot to put the senator back in the mix, as the current delegate count is Donald Trump 459, Sen. Ted Cruz 360, Rubio 151, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich 54.
Further, if Rubio should win Florida and Kasich prevails in his winner-take-all state of Ohio with 66 delegates, the race will likely go the distance to the convention, where the nominee will be chosen.
Advertisement - story continues below
With all these uncertainties in play, Rubio placed a small cross on his podium before Thursday night's CNN debate. The candidate has been outspoken about his Christian faith. As reported by Western Journalism, video of a back-and-forth the senator had with an atheist at one of his campaign events in Iowa earlier this year went viral.
Loved the cross Marco placed on his debate podium last night! This is our Marco! #FLforMarco #GOPDebate @marcorubio pic.twitter.com/s8BCsPfon0
— Christie (@BarkerMom) March 11, 2016
Rubio stated his faith is the "greatest influence" in his life and added, "You shouldn't be worried about my faith influencing me. In fact, I think you should hope that my faith influences me."

"If you don't believe the Judeo-Christian values influenced America, then you don't know history," the Roman Catholic added. "This nation was founded on the principle that our rights come from our Creator. If there is no Creator, then where did you rights come from?"
Rubio was repentant Wednesday when asked by Megyn Kelly of Fox News about trading personal insults with Trump last week, saying it was not consistent with his faith.

"I'd do it differently. I really would. The reason — my kids were embarrassed by it. My wife didn't like it. I don't think it reflects good. That's not who I am. That's not what my campaign is going to be about or will ever be about again," he said.
"I'm not telling you he didn't deserve it, but that's not who I am and that's not what I want to be. Honestly, I want to be a good example. I want my kids to be proud of me, and I don't think it reflected well on my faith. And so I felt bad about that," Rubio added.
The candidate received high marks from GOP pollster Frank Luntz's focus group following Thursday's debate, with all participants raising their hands to indicate they thought he did very well.
.@MarcoRubio's response on Cuba hit 95% with my focus group.
Republicans want accountability from former enemies. #GOPDebate

~Renee Award~
Thanks Carrie from SNIPPETGIRL for bestowing me with the Renee award. Carrie makes wonderful whimsical paper clay figures that will steal your heart!
You spread joy and love like an acorn small package becoming a tall and sturdy oak that keeps on giving acorns.....
I supposed to pass this onto a few artist/bloggers and well gosh there are so many wonderful friends out there...
Love the Prim Look - because she keeps on giving and is always offering her art for my cause. I know she has a tag/award free blog...but that does not mean she does not deserve this! :)
Crow Productions - because without her encouragement I would be overly devastated at times!
Fran Caldwell - for always being so kind and sending people to my blog. Thanks for all the support.
But anyone I have not mention it is just because I am being lazy, lol. You all are so very generous and kind. Thanks for being there!

Applicable to:
- Plesk 11.x for Linux
The web server fails to rebuild configuration and start due to the following error:
Unable to generate the web server configuration file on the host <plesk11.test> because of the following errors:
nginx: [emerg] listen() to 10.0.0.1:80, backlog 511 failed (98: Address already in use)
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
The problem is caused by a race condition in nginx init script (
), which causes the service start attempt to begin before all nginx worker processes are properly shut down.
This behavior was confirmed to be a software issue with ID # PPPM-353 .
This software issue has been fixed in Parallels Plesk 11.5.
Occasionally, the issue may resurface after an improper startup of Nginx, an operating system upgrade, or packages related to nginx. If it does, a restart of Nginx (with a slight delay between stop and start) will most likely help.
