Few people in the world of consumer video can match Joe Kane's resume. With experience in engineering, consumer video calibration and professional post production, Kane can draw from a wealth of knowledge when he dedicates his services to a project.
The Samsung SP-A900B projector is a good example.
The A900B ($12,995; $9,995 for anamorphic lens) is the newest model in the line he designed for Samsung, which started with the SP-A800B. According to distributor DVE Distribution, the A900B offers a 35 percent increase in contrast ratio, the addition of PC, video and anamorphic video processing and a variable control iris function.
Samsung's SP-A900B projector is a single-chip solution that installers can upsell as a performance proposition. Driving its performance is Texas Instruments' DarkChip4 1920 x 1080 optical engine, short- and long-throw lens options and internal scaling that offers features like a 24fps mode.
DVE and Joe Kane Productions (JKP) offer anamorphic lens and sled options from HI-REZ Projections, Inc. and other calibrations within the setup menu that include color space parameters and fundamental connection choices such as multiple HDMI inputs.
Simple Setup
This is where the projector really shines, if you'll excuse the pun.
After unpacking the unit I plugged it in, connected my HDMI cable, dialed in the focus and keystone and started to dig into the menu. I selected the SMPTE-C color space option, a gamma setting, a color temperature of D6500 and I set the lamp to the "economy" theater setting.
With all of the basic operating parameters set I turned on a Red Sox vs. Yankees game and exited the menu. From there I proceeded to watch Blu-ray content like "Sleeping Beauty" and "Pinocchio."
Out of the box I felt the unit was really close to where it needed to be and it took only a few minutes to tweak. Using a Screen Research unity gain screen, the unit was nearly plug and play in my room. Based on my experience, the product should not take long to set up.
Impressive Grayscale, Picture
Over a couple of months, I watched a variety of sporting events, network TV and Blu-ray discs, and I was continually impressed with the grayscale, color depth and picture uniformity.
I looked at a number of test patterns to check its color accuracy, grayscale tracking, contrast, black levels and resolution. The test patterns verified what my eyes were seeing: the JKP-endorsed Samsung produced a well-saturated, quality picture with movies, broadcast television and videos.
When combined with a Panamorph anamorphic lens, the projector produced more high-quality images in an aspect-ratio correct format.
No Complaints Here
Given what I saw in terms of its picture, setup and aesthetic design there's nothing to complain about. Perhaps a die-hard videophile would cite its lack of motorized lens adjustments and price, but that's nitpicking.
I think when you add up the product's limited distribution, its overall quality, ease-of-setup and the support that a dealer should expect from the DVE, it's arguably the best single-chip DLP solution on the market.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Have you been having a hard time finding anyone for the last two months? For an industry inundated with new communication tools, gadgets, and devices, no one seems to be around. I was starting to get a complex. But when I ran into these same folks at World of Concrete, The Precast Show, or ConExpo, everyone said that they've been too busy to do anything but take care of business.
And thank that great concrete god, we are getting busy again.
And just as important, our industry is reinvesting in itself. Concrete plant sales are up. Truck mixers sales are increasing. And just as important, you are hiring again, albeit slowly, and carefully.
Our industry is blessed with great manufacturers and suppliers. Even with the depressed business climate, research and development has continued. And it has been at breakneck speed.
Their hard work is now my hard work. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting hundreds of new products, materials, and services that will allow you to be more effective in your businesses and grow your markets. Rather than to just dump and run these items, I'm working hard to present them in a way that you can view and consider.
For example, check out this new ingredient for concrete that may eliminate air entraining admixtures. There's also a new CNG front discharge mixer and an updated silo bin weighing system.
But there's plenty more to come. So to all those folks who I've met and learned from in the last six weeks, please be patient. I'm working thoroughly through my backpack and notebook.
But I do have one request that may speed up my process. An old friend last week at ConExpo saw me taping business cards into my notebook. He looked at me and shook his head. "Don't you know there's an app that can allow you to files those cards?' he told me. And then he left without another word.
So can anyone recommend a good app that takes these images?

The word going around today is that Kane will be pulled from Sunday's Money in the Bank match to sell the beating he suffered at the hands of the Wyatt Family and start them in a program with him.
It is not official until it happens but if the case, I would expect it to be announced at the tapings tonight.

R.I.P. 'Justified' patriarch Arlo Givens
Saying goodbye to one of TV's most heartless, yet oddly lovable, all-time dads
By Kenny Herzog Feb 27, 2013 9:13AM
There's an old Kentucky adage that goes, "If it's not one bother, it's your murderous white trash father." Actually, nobody says that. But the sentiment is apt in the case of "Justified" and its studly U.S. Marshall Deputy/outlaw Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant), whose life has been irrevocably molded by the actions of his career-criminal father, Arlo (Raymond J. Barry).
Bing: "Justified" | Timothy Olyphant |Raymond J. Barry
In Tuesday night's fittingly titled episode, "Outlaw," a dying Arlo bitterly, triumphantly proved that he -- not his gun-slinging son or Raylan's sometime-adversary, Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins) -- is the original and eternal renegade of Harlan County.
Poor Arlo saw it coming, but then he didn't. Set up for a prison killing by ex-Sheriff Mosley (ex-"Killing" star Brent Sexton, appropriately) on behalf of elusive Drew Thompson, the wily elder Givens got to him first with nothing but aftershave and an electric razor. But he got greedy, went after a guard, and got turned around by Mosley and stabbed in the chest with scissors. Bummer.
Plus: 'Dancing With the Stars' cast | Shows that are signing off this year | Fantasy 'Real Housewives' cast
And on his incarcerated deathbed, with Raylan by his side looking for either unsolicited fatherly affection or info on Thompson's whereabouts, dear old dad could only muster a hoarse, "Kiss my ass."
Arlo, we would if we could. But you're dead. Which stinks. May you continue playing the part of clueless septuagenarian orchestrating all manner of felonious acts in some ramshackle corner of hell. And God help your son if he doesn't seek therapy.
"Justified" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX.

Excellent! I just used a box of Jiffy and let the chips fall where they may with regard to portions. One note, though, is that the texture is supposed to be sticky. (Just think those cups of sour cream and chopped onion through.) It is eaten with a knife and fork, not with fingers like classic cornbread. The same recipe is in Southern Living's 1001 Ways to Cook Southern, and the note says that the texture is like spoon bread. Don't think it's a flop if it doesn't match your expectation of cornbread that can be buttered and slathered with honey.

Letters: Cool down, global warmers
Re: 'Turn up the heat, Foreman' (Metro, Feb. 18)
Letter writer Phil Lindsay's facts need a little fact checking of their own. Last year was not warmer than any other year globally. There is a reason it is 61 degrees in Sochi during the Winter Olympics: It is always around that temperature this time of year there. The average high temperature for February in Sochi is 57 degrees. As to the drought the West Coast is experiencing, well, it is the norm for that area. The past 100 years has been the wettest that area has seen in thousands of years. The real fact of the matter is that global surface temperatures have not risen in 17 years!
Kevin Finnegan, via email
Letter writer Phil Lindsay shouldn't just assume everything proves global warming. Droughts in California are nothing new, though short-sighted planning by government and environmentalists have left the region even more vulnerable to dry weather (as they are more concerned with bait fish than human lives). Sochi is not a cold area; these temperatures they're seeing are normal — it is short-sighted officials who chose a non-winter location for the Winter Olympics (politics at play again).

Fall Breakfast Recipe: Pumpkin Muffins with Eggnog Cream Cheese Swirl
Recipes from The Kitchn
It's fall, and time to indulge my love of all things pumpkin. Pumpkin pasta, pumpkin gratin, pumpkin pie, that ever-popular pumpkin spice latte and — perhaps most of all — pumpkin muffins. I love having a warm, tender muffin in the morning for breakfast. These fit the the bill, spiced and moist. But fall will be over so quickly, and winter will be here, so I decided to make sure these would carry through properly to the holidays! Why not a little swirl of eggnog-flavored cream cheese? Pumpkin and eggnog? This is one clash of holiday flavors that I love, and I hope you will too!

How are they related? Well, leftover pizza dough is a perfect base for monkey bread and other breakfast treats. And even if you haven't been making pizza lately, store-bought, ready-made pizza dough is also a way to get these into the oven (and into your mouth!) that much quicker.

Halloween is still a month away, but we're thinking ahead. It's the year's epicenter of candy, after all (and we have a thing for candy corn around here).

There is some insane stuff in here, folks: Candy corn vodka tonic? Candy corn cookie dough pretzel bites? Party mix! Cookies! Cake. Brace yourself for plenty of artificial coloring and pagan celebration of the tiny yet mighty candy corn. Halloween only comes once a year, after all.
Spooky & Playful: The Best Halloween Treats for 2011
It's Halloween — which means we're all supposed to pull out vats of Jell-O and light 'em with black lights, and scrawl spiderweb icing over elaborate cakes. Right? Well, if you're short on time for such undertakings, or if you want to avoid the sugar overload of too many Halloween treats, check out this roundup. I've pulled together my favorite Halloween treats for this season, with a selection of health(ier) yet cute options, as well as a few spooky ideas, and some just plain cute treats for grown-ups and kids alike.
The best part: These are all actually do-able — nothing too challenging here for those of us who aren't great with a piping bag!
Make Your Own: Grown-up Halloween Treats

Halloween is one of the more perfect holidays. If you have young kids, you get to relive the fun of dressing up and trick-or-treating through their eyes. If you don't have kids, you have a really good excuse to buy mini candy bars for the whole month of October. And while those are wonderful, we love thinking about homemade treats to bring to work, keep around the house, and share with the neighborhood kids.

Remembering an 'icon to the shelter world'
The late Jim Guinane, a dedicated Monadnock Humane Society volunteer and a dog's best friend, will be honored Saturday afternoon. (Courtesy/The Keene Sentinel)
The Society is celebrating Guinane with an open house and reception from 2 to 4 p.m. with a dedication ceremony to take place at 2:30. The public is welcome to come for a tour and visit the shelter animals during the open house.
Guinane is an "icon in the shelter world" who needs to be honored, said Michelle Thevenin, executive director of Monadnock Humane Society.
In the late 1990s, Guinane was known to the organization as a committed volunteer with a love for dogs and a passion for training them. He worked with the shelter dogs to make sure they were well-behaved and trained, Thevenin said.
"He really was one of our key volunteers in helping dogs become more adoptable. Because shelter environment - no matter how good it is - it's not the same as a home. Dogs are social animals. They want the interaction with people. They want to sleep on your bed and they need a lot of exercise."
When his wife Linda stepped down as treasurer of the board he filled the spot and soon became a pivotal board member in the capital campaign to build the current West Swanzey Road facility. The former shelter was an old farm building. The roof leaked and there was little to no heat, Thevenin said.
"It wasn't welcoming to the public nor was it a great place to work from an environmental perspective," Thevenin said.
The shelter also wasn't ideal for the animals. "When you think about depressing, jail like sheltering, that was kind of what was there. . It was not ideal living conditions for the animals. In this community we needed to serve this population better."
In 1997, though, the board received disappointing news. A feasibility study revealed the organization would only be able to raise half of the $2.2 million needed for the project.
To everyone's surprise Guinane donated $1 million to the capital campaign, which opened the funding up to matching granting and other fundraising opportunities, and the new shelter and training center was opened in 2000.
"I almost never support capital campaigns," Guinane said at the time. "But in this case it's absolutely needed because we simply can't do any more in this facility."
Since moving into the new facility in 2000, the Monadnock Humane Society has been able to focus more on animal welfare issues and the problems that lead to homeless pets.
"This facility helped redefine how we house shelter animals," Thevenin said of shelters nation-wide.
Guinane remained an active volunteer for many years. He passed away late last year after an illness, Thevenin said.
Guinane was already a legend at the Society when Stephanie Frommer, shelter operations director, came to work there, she said. "He left a lasting impression in this place both physical and in spirit," she said. "He did so much for the dogs, in volunteering he worked for years and years training dogs. . He was an incredibly dear, dear man."
In the former shelter, that was less than ideal for the animals, he gave the dogs an outlet, worked with the dogs that most needed it, giving the dogs the behavior skills they needed to find permanent homes, Frommer said.
"He was one of our biggest champions in getting this building built," Frommer said. "He just believed in what we did. He believed in the dogs here and we couldn't have done any of it without him and I really miss him," Frommer said.
Linda Guinane has been honored by the organization as a lifetime vice president and plans to speak at the dedication service Saturday.
The Society is a private non-profit organization that is funded by the local community and serves 44 towns in the region. Each year the society provides food, shelter, veterinary, and behavioral care, assessment and placement services to more than 2,200 homeless animals.
All are welcome to come to the open house and dedication Saturday. For more information, visit www.monadpets.org.

1997 Daihatsu Hijet EFI 993cc from UK and Ireland
Very nice when new and all working, but a nightmare when things go wrong
Electrics went within 3 months from new. Towed to Main dealer who fixed it under warranty - later all Hi-jets recalled to fix this problem.
Month after 3 year warranty ended, battery failed.
4 years from new (36,000 miles), big end bearing failed. Not with a cut groove on the inside, but just flaked away. Mechanic said he had only seen it once before on a van with 140,000+ miles on.
Head Gasket blew shortly after big end bearing fixed. Radiator vanes replaced as well.
Sliding door bearing disintegrated.
Sliding door handle shattered into small fragments when opening in the cold.
Front window rack broke.
Rear brake cylinders failed, very exoensive to replace, even the garage couldn't beleive the price for parts.
6 years on the paintwork is flaking off on the front and roof.
7 1/2 years from new (76,000 miles), 3 weeks after sailing through MOT and service... engine failed completely, need replacing at a cost of £1100. Car will now be scrapped.

From all the faults with it you would think the car was mistreated, however this is far from the case. Most driving was around town (to-from work)and a little on the motorway (once a quarter). Car was maintained by a local garage.
Visibility from the cab is fantastic.
Very light steering.
Loads of space inside, the wife thinks its Dr Who's Tardis.
Very cheap to run unless it develops a fault and then it can be expensive for parts.
Very easy to park, with a very small turning circle.
Plenty of space in and around the seats.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I agree with your comments. I brought a six seater hi-jet almost new, quite cheap to purchase thinking parts would be cheap, how wrong I was. Very costly, I had it for almost six years. It kept on breaking down or body parts would break, the sliding doors were the worst. The most costly repairs was the head gasket which went twice costing over £500 each time, also a new petrol tank which cost £300 which they had to get from Italy. Even the most basic parts like seat belt clips had to come from Japan. I would never buy another Hi-jet. I hope this helps anyone who is thinking of purchasing on of these.

Darkness... My body hurts! Or is it my brain?
The explosion! I remember it now. Maybe I'm in a coma? Or even worst, I may be already dead...
Everything is so confusing... Zombies, monsters and ghosts from the past are filling my mind... Oh God, so many memories mixed with my dreams! I can't even distinguish them anymore. What if my entire life was just a nightmare? But it felt so real...
Wait, what's that sweet voice? Sounds like a nurse! THAT is part of reality, I am sure. Now if I could just concentrate on this voice and try to wake up...

Say what you will about the dysfunctional nature of Washington, D.C., but the diverse men and women who run corporate America are in demand.
In some respects it is the best of times to be a senior-level executive. Whether running a Fortune 500 company, serving on a board of directors or navigating the corridors between conference rooms, over the years Hispanic Corporate Elites have balanced personal ambition and business success with community participation and a commitment to diversity.
They are the HispanicBusiness.com Top 25 Corporate Elites for 2013. They planned their careers early and they sought advice from mentors. They got where they are because of times like these, not in spite of them.
These captains of industry implement the nitty-gritty details of the recovery at each private company, government agency, public and entrepreneurial enterprise for whom they work. They carry out the daily tasks necessary to revitalize the economy and achieve recoveries within their respective organizations and industries. They manage costs and maximize productivity, organize staffs and reorganize departments, lead divisions and engage employees.
In selecting the Top 25 Corporate Elites for 2013 and interviewing key executives, HispanicBusiness.com discovered some remarkable similarities. To begin with, they are extremely busy. Just as mid-level managers and support staff have been required to assume increasing responsibilities in a rope-tight job market, executives have assumed ever-increasing leadership functions and metrics-reporting duties.
Keys to Success in Diversity Markets
Jose Nido, vice president of Global Supplier Diversity with Wyndham Worldwide, brings a vast range of supply-management knowledge to the hotel, resorts and leisure-properties company, having worked in diversity business development for a marketing solutions firm in Commerce, Calif., and supplier diversity management with The Walt Disney World Company in Orlando, Fla.
Mr. Nido also spent 20 years in the U.S. Air Force and retired as a lieutenant colonel. Discipline, he says, helps you prepare for the challenges of today, whether its within your own corporation or with suppliers. Understanding and developing relationships with stakeholders at all levels is critical.
Mr. Nido explains that one of his most important responsibilities within Wyndhams strategic and sourcing group is to develop and maintain community relations and increase commodities-and-services contracts with minority-owned suppliers.
The most important part of what were looking for is national and sometimes global outreach, Mr. Nido explains. This translates into having an impeccable reputation in the local business and diversity community and being creditworthy.
Financial stability is key, he adds. Hospitality experience is key. Competitive pricing is key.
Looking forward to 2013, Mr. Nido reflects on the basic business principles that exist in a structured, highly competitive environment.
I think 2013 will be more positive and friendlier than previous years, he says. Were talking about controlling spending and revenue.
Mr. Nido says he was drawn to diversity procurement as a vocation largely because he was persuaded by a mentor in the Air Force that he would be good at it. He still recalls fondly the officer that pointed his career in the right direction.
He advises aspiring young Hispanics to find as many mentors as possible and to take full advantage of corporate mentorship programs and community-based programs such as the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR) and Hispanic chambers of commerce throughout the U.S.
Stay focused, have a positive outlook and make sure you have a good plan, he says.
Framework Models in Technology and Marketing
Fernando J. Hernandez, director of supplier diversity at Microsoft, wasnt sure what he wanted to do in his early 20s. Like all of the Corporate Elites this year, however, Mr. Hernandez knew he wanted to become successful and he understood at an early age what he had to do in order to achieve that singular goal. He calls it over-aspiring.
Mr. Hernandez assists Microsoft in finding and developing technologies from innovative diversity businesses, including startups. As might be expected of a Microsoft employee, Mr. Hernandez is ultra-passionate about technology. He also likes people, and is candid in his assessment of that trait as both strength and weakness.
Hispanics are very social people, Mr. Hernandez says, noting that this can become a hindrance in business. Hispanics are very good cultural beings, but the whole concept of engaging with others in a business context is considered rude. You have to understand that in a business environment you have to move your agenda forward.
Mr. Hernandez learned that mentors are critical to achieving success in corporate boardrooms. I learned, only later on, after I was in corporate America for a time, mentors would take me aside and tell me how to follow up.
Before launching a successful sales-and-marketing career with AT&T in the early 90s where he eventually became executive director of supplier diversity Mr. Hernandez recalls how he used to dress in bright suits that were more appropriate for the New York City club scene than an office on Wall Street or Madison Avenue.
One day, an elderly gentleman in the commercial real-estate business took him aside and told him, You need to shop at Brooks Brothers.
It was an epiphany for me, Mr. Hernandez says.
His advice to young Hispanics is to put both their best feet forward. Dress for success. Get business cards. Gather phone numbers or email addresses and follow through with questions. Be persistent, but dont be rude.
People bond with people they feel comfortable with, Mr. Hernandez says.
He speaks frequently of shared visions, and one of those visions was for multicultural marketing in the early 90s, when he met the editor of HispanicBusiness magazine, Jesus Chavarria, whom he regards as an early mentor and visionary. Both men were among the first in corporate America to mass-market products and services specifically to ethnic minorities.
At AT&T, Mr. Hernandez was given a startup budget to market from businesses to other businesses, before it was known as B2B. He developed a wide range of contacts and built a diversity small-business base across the country.
One of his clients included a group that catered to Japanese businessmen, for whom AT&T developed welcome kits that included an AT&T calling card, a popular item with Japanese expatriates anxious to call home at the end of a long day. By packaging these calling cards with groups of clients, AT&T was able to sell them in bulk and thereby reduce costs.
Mr. Hernandezs nascent diversity marketing program became a $2 billion business for AT&T, and his career was launched, earning him a reputation as an innovator.
Mr. Hernandez isnt just lucky; hes a visionary. Quoting NHL great Wayne Gretzky, he says: I skate where the puck is going to be.
Clear Communications in a Smartphone World
Gabriel Torres, vice president and general manager for T-Mobiles Southeast region, covers a wide and increasingly important footprint from Florida and Louisiana to Arkansas and Tennessee.
HispanicBusiness.com reached out to Mr. Torres through email to learn how his U.S. Hispanic background helped shape his ideals for personal success and to gain his perspective on business.
With Hispanics in the U.S. representing the fastest-growing demographic and economic segment, Mr. Torres explains, how companies and business markets sell or talk to our community will continue to be of growing importance. This will incrementally drive more jobs for Hispanics.
Mr. Torres background includes positions with Sprint Nextel, RadioShack and Microsoft, where he helped spearhead the latter companys Mexico and Pan-Latin American distribution efforts. He says diversity and cultural relevance play an important role in how Americans perceive themselves.
Language and cultural diversity will extend across the country to communities that historically were not considered Hispanic, he writes. In short, the Hispanic community is a significant contributor to business growth.
With more than two decades of marketing and business-development experience in the mobile phone space, Mr. Torres doesnt hesitate to offer aspiring young Hispanics advice about achieving success in the business world.
Setting high goals and working relentlessly to exceed them is crucial, he notes, confirming that building and maintaining diverse, strong professional networks is a key to success.
A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin with a bachelors degree in engineering, Mr. Torres is fluent in both Spanish and Portuguese and he encourages foreign-language accessibility.
Candidates with multilingual skills and culturally diverse backgrounds will continue to be strong assets for companies.
His advice for young Hispanics who aspire to become professionals is to get a quality education and to reinvest in their communities.
Give back to diverse and ethnic communities that will provide the leaders of the future, the T-Mobile executive writes. Businesses will increasingly need to hire highly skilled bilingual personnel in geographic locations not typically identified with large Hispanic populations. Demand for Hispanics with postgraduate degrees such as MBAs and MFAs will increase.
Big Data, Cloud Computing, Social Media and Learning
Prior to being recruited by Microsoft in 2006, Mr. Hernandez worked for Washington Mutual in Seattle, where he learned about multicultural marketing in the housing market.
After his mentor was passed over for promotion and left WaMu, Mr. Hernandez was told to wait. After 18 months of waiting, he finally approached management about an amicable departure.
I was like a Ferrari in neutral, he recalls. At that point, I was in Seattle, and there were two places I wanted to work Microsoft and Starbucks.
Under the mentorship of his current boss at Microsoft, Mr. Hernandez helped lead the supplier diversity group from $600 million to $1 billion in sales in two years a year earlier than planned. Today, Microsofts diversity supplier group joins the ranks of Wal-Mart, Krogers and AT&T in the Billion Dollar Roundtable group.
The diversity supplier group Mr. Hernandez directs has keyed on cloud computing as one of its major categories for growth.
There are currently 1.7 million jobs in cloud computing, Mr. Hernandez relays, and that is expected to grow to 7 million jobs soon. Microsoft, he reports, is searching for established businesses that can scale grow bigger, faster, more economically as well as smaller enterprises run by high-achieving entrepreneurs.
If its a company thats small, but has great technology, Mr. Hernandez says, were interested.
In addition to cloud computing, he says, there are enormous opportunities in security, construction and building, agriculture, nanotechnology, medicine and DNA sequencing. Where my heart breaks is when I see Hispanic kids who are not engaged in math and science.
Mr. Hernandez says mentoring starts at home, with parents, and in communities, where role models exist or should. He adds that you can learn from anybody, even bad managers. He prefaces that its far more productive to learn from good managers.
Observe how these people are running their divisions, Mr. Hernandez advises. Understand whats working today. Its all about being informed. You cant emulate anybody until youre informed.
A New Year Is Upon US
The formula for success of future diversity Corporate Elites getting college degrees, finding mentors and embracing science, math and emerging technologies is currently under siege by federal and state budget cuts.
The fiscal cliff deal reached on New Years Day is only a stopgap measure. The squabble over the debt ceiling is scheduled to resume two months down the line.
To put a historic literary spin on todays fiscal troubles, all normal economic setbacks are alike. The ongoing fiscal crisis has its own, uniquely dysfunctional framework.
As we enter 2013, it will be up to Americas senior executives like those featured in this years Corporate Elite to make sense of the new laws and navigate the U.S. back on a course of fiscal responsibility and economic prosperity.
As always, Corporate Elites are in demand.

I love going to Central park and unexpectedly hearing the sound of jazz pouring out of a saxophone. I grew up in Brooklyn in the 80s, when it was common to see kids cooling off in the summer near the corner fire hydrant. Somehow I managed not to develop a Brooklyn accent...I think.

OPEN LETTER TO Bhakti Vikasa Swami
Sri Sri Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!
I listened attentively to Swami Bhakti Vikash's long class and have read many comments on it here and elsewhere.
My first point is that the Swami has not fabricated anything, nor has he spoken with malicious intent, or envy. He has supported his realizations, conclusions with reference to Shastra, Guru, and Sadhu.
I feel to attack him for his having the courage to speak his realization is in itself offensive.
He has deeper concern that the food for life programs, which are the subtle influence of mayavadi / impersonal philosophy creeping into the society of devotees.
One may consider how much effort His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada made in writing chapter after chapter, and hundreds and thousands of purports to explain the subtleties of Mayavada. Who did he write his books for? He wrote them for us, his followers, who are the readers of his books! Who are the mayavadis? It is us, we all are born here envious of Krishna, trying to imitate Krishna, we all want to be the center of attention, and we are all diseased. Unless and until we are situated in our swarup, as long as the modes of material nature are affecting us we are still diseased.
Today, we see a lot of intermingling of devotees with other religious groups, interfaith so-called conferences, etc. His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada never mixed with these. He always made it clear that we are here to teach "ananya bhilasita sunyam, jnana karmadi anavrtam" pure unalloyed devotional service untouched by jnana, karma, yoga, etc.
I find that Swami Bhakti Vikash's point it this and it behooves us to remain fixated on this EKANATA BHAKTI, and not become again enamoured by karma, jnana, yoga, etc.

In Memory of Smt. Amekhala devi
In 1975 Amekhala arrived in Berkeley from Europe with her former husband Manibandha das. So, I have known her and been in contact with her from then until her departure a few days ago. Amekhala always struck me as a very happy person, who it was easy to talk with and open one's heart. She exemplified the quality of being kind and friendly to everyone.
I know she suffered many challenges in her life, but she never gave up her Krsna Consciousness for a moment, no matter how dire the circumstance.
I am sorry she has left us at a young age, but I am sure she has attained the eternal service of Sri Sri Radha Krsna under Srila Prabhupada lotus feet and is showering her blessing on us.

The departure of Puri Maharaja
In the month of Kartik 1992 I was blessed to meet and hear from the lotus
mouth of Srila Bhakti Baibhava Puri Goswami Maharaja for the first time.
During that month I attended his morning and evening darsan and listened
with an open heart to the words emanating from his lotus mouth. At that time
my personal sadhana had virtually ceased and I had practically given up all
hope of ever practicing the regulations of sadhana bhakti in this lifetime.
However, by hearing submissively something magic happened to me. I felt like
My Eternal Father His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Really, from that time my life was wholly transformed and for the 17 years
since then, His Divine Grace has been the most dear friend, and guide.
He graciously initiated by son Bhishma deva in 1996 in Vrindaban and my
wife Yashoda in December 2003 in Puri.
For nearly four years I was held prisoner in Orissa from 2000 until 2004,
and most of this time I was staying in a state hospital in Cuttack. His
Divine Grace would regularly come to visit and give some words of
inspiration, some Jagannatha Mahaprasadam, and garlands. I would get a phone
call from his servant Brajendra saying, "Maharaja is coming! He will be
there in 20 minutes!" My wife and I would hurriedly run to get some garlands
some fruit and juice and prepare a seat for this most exalted soul. He
would come and we would wash his lotus feet, and we would have a wonderful
kirtan, and he would say a few words to give us hope and inspiration.
Always when he'd depart he would place his hands on my head and give his
In the last week of 1992 I went to stay in Puri at his headquarters next to
the Gundica Temple, Sri Caitanya Chandra Asharam. There were just a few
sanyassis and brahmacaris there at this time. Daily I would sit for 5-8
hours with Maharaja and he would constantly speak HARI KATHA. Every morning
after breakfast prasadam, he would sit on the steps of the temple in the
nice winter sun and read the Srimad Bhagavatam. He showed me the inside back
cover of his personal Bhagavatam where he has written the dates where he
would begin reading and complete the reading of the entire Bhagavatam for
the past 65 years! Just imagine, for more than 65 years he read all 18,000
verses every single year! Always while he was reading his eyes would be
decorated with tears.

Janakinath (ACBSP) Has Left Us
Dear Prabhus,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glory to Srila Prabhupada!
It has been many years since I heard the name of Janakinath Prabhu. He was one of the wonderful brahmacaris in San Franciso in 1974 when I was asked to serve as TP. Jayananda Prabhu loved him deeply, as did I. Janakinatha always had some health problems, and had a difficult time getting up for Mangala Aratik. I remember going personally to his sleeping bag some mornings and ring a big bell beside him to get him out of bed! He would ultimately arrive for aratik.
Jayananda always remarked on how enthusiastic Janakinath is in the kirtan.
I am happy he was living in the devotee community. He made the best use of the bad bargain! My prayers and best wishes for those he has left behind.
Your humble servant,
Bhakta dasa

New update on Bhojadeva Prabhu
Dear Bhoja deva Prabhu,
I heard of the attack in Manipur from an inmate in Tihar who wrote me a couple of weeks back. I was informed by MAdhudvisa Prabhu last Friday that you were one of the victoms, and today I received this news update on your situation.
My prayers and best wishes are with you. Are you in Thailand? From the article I read it seemed so.
Please let me know how you are doing and if there is anything I may do to assist you.
Your humble servant,
Bhakta dasa

A young bride silently sobs on the floor watching her mentally disturbed husband gorge on chicken, rub his greasy hands through his hair and scream at her for more, just another chapter in the couple's violent life together. Film director Saba Sahar anxiously watches the scene by the cameraman, squatting in blue jeans and wearing a bright pink headscarf. "Cut!" she calls.
The first Afghan female in her profession, Sahar, 36, has become a household name after acting and directing for more than half her life. She is adored by Afghan women. Like other Afghan directors, Sahar says finding actresses is her top challenge in an ultra-conservative Muslim country where many view acting as un-Islamic and inappropriate for women.
"Some Afghans think cinema is a bad place for girls," said 19-year-old Deba Barekzai, who plays the young bride in Sahar's 15-part TV series. "Working in cinema has caused me lots of problems and difficulties."
Afghan-Canadian director Nelofer Pariza said family pressure stopped several of her actresses from showing up on set when filming 2009′s "An Act of Dishonour", a real-life story about an honour killing. "It was really sad. Fear would actually stop them from coming to work," Pariza told the audience last month following the film's first public screening in Afghanistan.

Two armed males broke into a Bernardsville residence on Ballantine Road on Wednesday night, but fled when they encountered the homeowner, authorities said.
No one was injured during the home invasion, according to a statement released Thursday from Somerset County Prosecutor Geoffrey D. Soriano.
The prosecutor's office said Bernardsville police responded to a 911 call from a resident reporting a home invasion on Ballantine Road at about 8 p.m. Wednesday.
The male homeowner told police after he heard the front door being forced open, he observed two white males holding handguns at the top of a staircase within the residence, the release said.
Once the men encountered the homeowner, they fled from the residence in an unknown direction, according to the release.
The major crimes unit of the Somerset County Prosecutor's office was notified after the police call to the location, Bernardsville police confirmed. The home is on a street off Mendham Road in the northern section of Bernardsville.
$5K reward offered
Soriano said Crime Stoppers of Somerset County, Inc. is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of the individuals involved.
The first man is described as being white, between the ages of 20 to 30, approximately 5-foot-10 and weighing approximately 175 pounds. He was wearing a brown ski hat, tan zip-up turtleneck sweater and khaki pants, authorities said.
The release describes the second individual as a white male, in his 20s, also wearing a brown ski hat.
The prosecutor, in conjunction with Bernardsville Police Chief Kevin Valentine and county Prosecutor's Office Chief of Detectives Stuart Buckman said Bernardsville Police were assisted by the Peapack-Gladstone, Far Hills, and Bernards Township, the release said.
The Somerset County Sheriff's Office and the New Jersey State Police Aviator Unit also responded and assisted detectives assigned to the Bernardsville police department and the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office Major Crimes Squad, the release said. The Somerset County Prosecutor's Office Crime Scene Investigations (C.S.I.) and forensics unit also responded to conduct the investigation, the prosecutor said.
Authorities are asking that anyone who may have observed someone matching the description of the two suspects in the area either before or after the incident should contact the Somerset County Crime Stoppers' Tip Line at 1-888-577-TIPS(8477) or online at www.888577tips.org or www.scpo.net and click on either "Crime Stoppers" or "TIPS HOTLINE." All calls are confidential, according to the prosecutor's office.

The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

The Joint - Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas
Las Vegas, NV
Multi-platinum selling artist Paramore has unveiled details of their upcoming North American tour. The dates celebrate the release of their hugely anticipated new album, "PARAMORE," due in stores and online on April 9th. The Grammy-nominated band will play The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Friday, May 3. Joining them as the opening act will be LA-based, alt-rock group Kitten who has already garnered critical acclaim for their "Cut It Out" EP as well as their dynamic live show, and are currently finishing up their full length debut for Elektra Records. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10am.
Paramore's first all-new release in more than three years, "PARAMORE" is heralded by the kinetic new single, "Now," which can currently be heard on the band's website. A companion video – directed by award-winning filmmaker/dancer Daniel Cloud Campos – is now in post-production with a premiere date slated for mid-February.
"PARAMORE" is also available now for pre-order with a variety of options including a limited bundle featuring a deluxe box set (which includes two colored 12" vinyl, a 7" vinyl featuring two exclusive b-sides, an 18"x24" exclusive poster & more), a hoodie, and a photo book highlighting the band's time in the studio. All packages include an instant MP3 download of "Now."
"PARAMORE" marks the eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2009's RIAA gold-certified "brand new eyes." The album – Paramore's fourth full-length studio recording – was produced by Grammy-nominated producer Justin Medal-Johnson, known for his work with such diverse artists as Beck, Nine Inch Nails, Tegan and Sara, and M83.
Paramore – singer Hayley Williams, bassist Jeremy Davis, and guitarist Taylor York – unveiled the album late last year via a personal blog announcement. "The whole making of this album was a rediscovering of ourselves as a band and as friends," they wrote. "It was a process that allowed us the freedom to explore new territory artistically and to liberate ourselves as musicians, singers, as people! Sincerely, we feel that the best way to give it a name is just to call it what it is. This album is us."

Reiman (2003) argues this ideology continues to reinforce the unequal division of wealth in American society while justifying the control of social institutions by a minority of wealthy individuals. As Reiman (2003) explains this ideology, �For the vast majority, the many millions struggling hard to satisfy basic needs, to acquiesce to the vast wealth of a small minority, it is necessary that the majority come to believe that these disparities are justified, that the present order is the best that human beings can accomplish, and that they are not being e

Gravity 2013
Incredible. Spectacular. Astounding. Moving. Wonderful. I really, really, really love this movie. And I think the VFX work is groundbreaking, a milestone. It's so exhilarating to watch, and I was moved to tears the two times I've seen it. Wonderful. See it in 3D at the highest volume in the biggest theater!! It's worth it. I'll be watching this many many more times upon release. A masterpiece. Bravo Cuaron!
The Avengers 2012
This movie kicks ass. Honestly, this second time around I was continually impressed, Joss Whedon did a damn good job on the skimpy budget I'm sure he was given and yet still delivers an awesome, entertaining, funny, epic, exciting, action-packed movie. I keep saying that everyone fights everyone, every last hero or character gets into some scuffle with each other person at least once, and it's damn fun to watch. Bravo Whedon. I had a few gripes about Hulk and how quick character arcs progress, and his overall editing/pacing, but they're easy to forget considering how great of an experience this movie is.
The Dark Knight Rises 2012
My third time seeing this - I enjoyed it as much as I did before. Chris Nolan just delivers a massive, grand epic on a huge scale, the spectacle of it is overwhelming, it goes to some very dark places, big twists and turns. It is huge and it does bow a little bit under its weight, the first act takes a little while to get going, but other than that it's still an awesome experience of a movie. Anne Hathaway as Catwoman gets me every time, I love her. Bane is also still insanely badass.
The Dark Knight Rises 2012
The Dark Knight Has Risen... Wow. It's epic. Chris Nolan's grand, modern, cinematic opera. Goes to some very dark places, massive, but spectacular. So much to love about it. Oh my, Hathaway. Zimmer's score is extraordinary. Cannot wait to see it again, to discuss it with many people, get into details, oh so good.
The Dark Knight 2008
Awesome, brilliant, extraordinary, cinematic and amazing. Even better, Nolan at his very best here.
Moonrise Kingdom 2012
I liked it, but didn't love it. Felt a bit dry, lacking something, but enjoyable. Very fun, very quirky, very Wes Anderson, but not his best work. I like some of his other films more, but this is good. A cute, charming, amusing young love story.
Guardians of the Galaxy 2014
Awesome, kick ass, sci-fi, futuristic, Marvel mash-up. Love the soundtrack. It rolls Marvel, James Gunn, space opera, jokes, good music & action into a furball of awesomeness. And said best by Forrest Wickman @ForrestW "Guardians of the Galaxy: Like a Marvel movie and a spoof of a Marvel movie at the same time."
Captain America: The Winter Soldier 2014
Pretty damn good. A few incredible action set pieces, solid story, compelling characters. I enjoyed the crap out of this. Well done, Russo Brothers. They put so many other movies to shame in this, the car chase action scene is insanely kick ass, the whole Transcendence ripoff storyline, Chris Evans doing a great job as Cap, it all pays off.
Prometheus 2012
Awesome. Big, beautiful, thrilling, breathtaking, exciting sci-fi. I loved it. Sure, it has a few issues with it, mainly that it asks more questions than it answers... but besides that, it's space opera thrilling sci-fi at its best, only the way Ridley Scott can deliver. I've already seen it twice and plan on spending a lot more time exploring the universe, getting deeper and deeper into the story and characters each time. This is a movie that takes multiple viewings…
The Hunger Games 2012
I love this movie, it's dark, gritty, intriguing modern post-apocalyptic sci-fi with a smart edge to it. Jennifer Lawrence is great, Josh Hutcherson is even better, the whole movie is incredible well done, and it has an epic feeling to it that makes me excited for the rest of the series and the influence Katniss will have on all of Panem. You're going down, Snow!
Batman Begins 2005
Love it. Nolan Begins, I say. Early work, but still excellent.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2012
Hmmmm I will admit, a slight let down from what I was expecting. It's good, it has a few AWESOME moments (saving the kid from the burning car; final swinging scenes) and has great characters/relationships, but other than that it doesn't really stand out. It just feels like a very basic, bland, toned down, family-friendly Spidey story, with a few cool moments, some awkward story beats, and weird changes, but overall just basic. I wanted to like it more, but couldn't, though maybe it will grow on me. Lizard was also unimpressive, go figure. I'm excited for the sequel - at least!

Top Video Poker Tips
There are numerous genres of video poker games, most notably Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild and Aces Faces. However, Jacks or Better Video Poker is the perfect place to start playing VP, and particularly if you're new to strategic gaming (the real way to play the game for fun and maximum reward potential).
Although you'll ideally want to learn the full basic strategy (widely available on the web) – you can adopt some easier tips to start reducing the video poker machine's edge.
Naturally, if you aspire to the level of video poker where the edge is less than 1% (and ultimately a positive edge to the player), apply these basic tips and then progress to the full basic VP strategy and more complex strategies……
1. Never hold a kicker in Jacks or Better; If you hold on to a pair, click to draw all 3 other cards to boost your probability of getting a 3 of a kind or a 4 of a kind combination.
2. Never draw to an inside straight in video poker.
3. Never keep 3 cards to a straight or 3 cards to a VP flush hand.
4. Some expert video poker gamers like to hold 3 cards to a straight flush, assuming there is a Royal Flush jackpot chance.
5. Keep 2 pair in favour of of attempting to draw to 4 of a kind.
6. Don't break a full house to attempt to form a 4 of a kind.
7. Don't break-up winning combinations dealt by the video poker game
The tips above are essentially just video poker logic, but they're a decent place to start, and they at least get you to start thinking about your video poker hand decisions.
Of course, once you start enjoying the game and getting some results, there's no doubt most gamers will want to try and develop their strategy with the power of a real video poker strategy chart.
Check out some other classic video poker tips that can be applied whether you play with the casual tips above or genuine VP strategy:
Budgeting >Video poker can be played with stakes from 0.10 to 100.00 or higher, so make sure you approach each session with a sensible budget.
Level stakes >Video poker will be less volatile and more fun when you game with level stakes, which is vital to allow strategic gaming to flourish.
Bet liability > Use a low-level of risk with each video poker wager, such as 0.5% of your bankroll with each bet. This makes budgeting easy when in the VP casino.
Regularity >Play a high number of video poker rounds per week to find luck and see how a strategy really affects your results.Video Poker Download pokertreminology.com

Following reports that agreements will soon be reached on three outstanding lawsuits, Skype co-founders Niklas Zennstrm and Janus Friis may be coming into quite a bit of cash.
According to V3.co.uk, Zennstrom and Friis stand to win 10 percent of Skype, as well as the option to buy another 3 percent of the company for $83 million and get two seats on the board of Skype owner eBay.
In September, the men filed suit against eBay alleging copyright infringement. Zennstrom and Friis claim they and their company, Joltid, still maintained rights to a piece of the peer-to-peer communication system called Global Index.
