Brackman struggled in five starts for Triple-A Louisville, then made three starts with the Bakersfield Blaze before moving to the bullpen. He allowed 19 runs in 17 1/3 innings with the Bats and had similar struggles in the Blaze rotation, but the numbers weren't the only reason why Brackman moved into relief.
"[I'm] pitching in the bullpen so I can throw twice a week and find my stuff," Brackman said. "It doesn't matter where I pitch. I'm working to get back to my old self."
His old self threw a fastball in the high 90s and dominated at Moeller High School in Cincinnati and at North Carolina State. The Yankees chose him 30th overall in the 2007 Draft and gave him a Major League contract. After three years of steady progress through the Yankees system, Brackman got a September call-up to the Majors in 2011 and pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings.
However, the Yankees decided to let Brackman go after the 2011 season, in which he walked and struck out 75 batters in 96 Triple-A innings. Brackman's decision to join the Reds was easy, but his time in the new organization has presented bigger challenges for him.
It's changed Brackman's view of the game. Whether he's pitching for the Yankees or the Reds, Brackman said, "It's all the same game. You have to go out there and get outs."
He applies the same philosophy to pitching in the bullpen instead of the rotation.
"It's not what I planned to do," he said. "This game is funny. It has its ups and downs. I'm going out here every day, having fun and trying to be productive."
Brackman has continued the adjustments that helped him get through 2011, like consistency in location and repeating his arm slot.
"I'm still trying to figure out stuff that's comfortable for me," he said.
Pitching in relief isn't new for Brackman. He made 19 starts and 10 relief appearances at Class A Charleston in 2009 and had 20 relief appearances and 13 starts in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2011. As Brackman works to get back to the Majors and regain his best stuff, his stop in Bakersfield is another lesson along the way.
Landry goes long: Rancho Cucamonga center fielder Leon Landry has hit safely in his last five games, including a pair of four-hit performances. The Louisiana native knocked in nine runs last week, scored six times and is hitting .392 since June 23.
Quick recovery: Inland Empire reliever Eric Cendejas allowed three runs on June 27 against Lake Elsinore, marking the first time he'd allowed an earned run since June 2. He recovered with two scoreless outings at the end of the week, giving up two hits in 3 1/3 innings. He has nine strikeouts and a 1.93 ERA in 14 innings over his last 10 games.
Taylor on top: Stockton catcher Beau Taylor is making a name for himself while sharing the position with one of Oakland's top prospects, Max Stassi. Taylor collected six hits in two game against San Jose to start the week, raising his season average to .323.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - As her record setting career comes to an end for Lamar University, senior Amanda King has one last track meet to run in, and this meet is the biggest one of her career, the National Championship Track Meet, held June 6-9 in Sacramento, Calif.
King, a senior from Tauranga, New Zealand, will run in the prelims of the women's 3,000 meter steeplechase at 8:25 p.m. pacific time on Wednesday. She will be running in heat one of two, with the top five finishers of each heat and the next four fastest finishers qualifying for the finals which are scheduled for 7:25 p.m. on Friday.
King enters the meet ranked 20th in the NCAA this season, with a career-best time of 10:16.99, which she ran at the Southland Conference championship meet on May 5, in Nacogdoches, Texas. The Southland Conference record holder finished in third place at the South Central Regional meet two weeks ago, with a 10:20.68 performance.
"Making it to nationals is a great way for Amanda to end her career," head coach Trey Clark said. "She has had a wonderful, record setting career at Lamar University, and now the opportunity to face to best of the best at the NCAA championship meet is very special."
This is the first time in her career that King has advanced to the NCAA championships. Last season she missed the mark at the regional meet and did not receive an at large bid, which led her to set her goal to make nationals before the 2006-07 school year began.
"This has been my goal all year long, and it is great to be here," King said. "I want to start strong and stay in the front like I did at the regional meet, and hopefully my jumping will be better this time around. If I can do that, I feel like I will make it to the finals on Friday."

Education Day returns to fair
OXFORD — After a one-year hiatus, Agricultural Education Day is returning to the lineup of the Oxford County Fair, and organizers say that the time off has led to a fresh approach to the problem of teaching kids about the world around them.
"We're ecstatic," said Michele Windsor, of the Oxford County Soil and Water Conservation District (OCSWCD). "It was an event that probably needed a little revamping anyway, so this gave us a chance to look at it through brand-new eyes."
Members of the OCSWCD expressed disappointment last year, when the event was removed from the schedule after 25 years.
Windsor says that the OCSWCD is working closely with fair organizers and the school district to make the program a success.
Last year, fair officials said that the decision to pull the event was made in an effort to save school districts the cost of busing students to the event. OCSWCD members complained that they had been notified of the cancellation with a phone message.
Now, both groups have come together the bring the program back, with some significant changes.
"For one thing, it's not just Agricultural Education Day anymore," said Jean Federico, who is organizing the day on behalf of the OCSWCD. "Now it's Agriculture and Conservation Education Day."
Federico says that the emphasis will be on hands-on learning, and interactive exhibits that keep the material interesting.
New features include 20-minute learning stations for different grade levels, exhibits and demonstrations, and a children's museum.
"I want the event to be kid-friendly, and it needs to be an integrated approach by the community," said Federico.
The children's museum would include period clothing that children can dress up in, and materials encouraging children to play games that were popular among rural children in bygone eras.
Children of different ages will also be taught to make applesauce, make cider, and how to judge the various varieties of Maine apple growers.
"We have a big history of raising apples in Maine, so that's one I wanted to hit hard," said Federico.
Another demonstration might involve the manner in which 4-H participants prepare an animal for a show.
"If one of the 4-H kids was willing to bring out a steer, it takes about two hours to groom a steer for the show," said Federico. "They should go through the whole process, bathe it, hair dry it, make the back look straight, clean the ears. They would be able to see all that goes into it."
It's too early to say how many teachers from the SAD 17 school district will participate, says Assistant Superintendent Patrick Hartnett.
"We haven't really had a lot of conversations with principals at this point for how it fits in with their plans in the fall," said Hartnett. "The next step for us would be to make links with the curriculum and see how students can benefit from learning about agriculture and animals at the fair."
Teachers from all area schools are invited to attend and participate in the event, and can sign up at any time through the September 1 deadline. Anyone interested should contact Federico at 743-5789, ext.111.
Federico says that last year's cancellation of the event was mostly a result of poor communication.
"Part of it was just simply that, last year, there was a lot of confusion, a lot of too many people trying to do too much work. The communication was not what it should have been," she said. "It was a series of things piled on top of each other."
This year, however, Federico says that the Oxford County Agricultural Society (OCAS) has been "absolutely" supportive of the program.
"[OCAS Director Lance Bean] was willing and helpful, and he was really excited by the paperwork that I showed him. It's not us doing an event on the fairgrounds; it's everybody working together."
Agricultural Education Day will be held on Wednesday, September 14 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Pure Love
There is a special romance to the bayous of Louisiana, where each inch seems to teem with life. But even such an ancient sanctuary can be threatened—as in 2010, when an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico sent toxins and pollutants out into the area waterways.
This unique, artisanal soap represents that regions ongoing healing process. It's crafted by Emily Manger Davis, a third-generation soap maker in New Orleans. A glycerin soap with a light cypress scent and ingredients such as fair trade olive oil and aloe, it derives its unusual color from activated charcoal, a natural purifying agent. But as that oil slick darkness is slowly washed away with use, within is revealed a white ceramic bird. Artist Tippy Tippens crafts each bird from real Louisiana clay, and accents it with a heart—a sweet symbol of love's ability to endure. Handmade in New Orleans.
Matter3LC donates 50% of profits to environmental cleanup and care for affected animals of the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Disaster. [Gulf Restoration Network & IBRRC]

Early Reading Strategies for Children and Parents
Kindergarten generally marks the point where children go from being familiar with their letters to actually learning to read, and you can help your child make this transition by adopting some early reading strategies at home. By offering support and guidance to your child, you can play a strong and integral role in his or her literary success.
Effective Early Reading Strategies
As a parent, you can lay the foundation for learning and reading readiness in your child by implementing some of the following reading strategies and activities.
Establish a Routine and Stick to It
Like play time and other scheduled activities in a child's life, reading should be a fun routine in which a child engages on a daily basis. Parents should set aside a specific block of time and spend at least fifteen minutes reading aloud to their child while encouraging him or her to look at pictures and discuss the story. Your child takes his or her enthusiasm cues from you, so it's important to maintain an optimistic attitude during your reading routine.
Give Your Child the Freedom to Read
One of the most effective reading strategies for keeping your child's interest is to let him or her participate in choosing a book or story. You should keep the books within reach for your child, so he or she can peruse them at leisure. It's also a good idea to visit a bookstore or local library with your child and see what new and exciting books peak his or her interest.
Teach Active Reading to Your Child
You should make sure your child is actively participating in the reading process by asking questions and otherwise engaging him or her in discussion. As your child learns to read, he or she is simultaneously learning how a book is held, how the pictures relate to the text on the page, and basically assimilating the facets of this new and unfamiliar process. You can point at pictures, ask your child questions about what a character will do next, and even ask your child to search for specific images on the cover or in the book's illustrations. By doing this, you'll be encouraging your child to stay involved and active.
Show Encouragement and Affection
Most importantly, remain encouraging and positive during the reading time with your child. Not only is reading a wonderful time for cuddling your child, but it's also a great opportunity to offer affection and support. Respond to your child's queries with positive feedback, such as "What a smart question," or "You're doing good job following this story!" This, along with the other early reading strategies, will help transform the act of reading from an unfamiliar and uncomfortable process to an enjoyable activity, and will hopefully spark your child's interest in learning.

SEO Content Writing: It is a rare fusion of the art of writing compelling content for a website and the science of securing top rank by assimilating keywords in the content without interrupting its flow and overall context of the topic.
Blog Writing: A blog needs to be feed with regular fresh content otherwise; it will start losing its visitors and will soon lose all its importance. Moreover it should also encourage people to comment back on it.

Southampton have announced Swiss luxury watch brand Eterna as their official timekeeper.
As part of the global partnership, Eterna will install a new clock at Saints' 32,000-seat St Mary's Stadium and have their branding incorporated into the venue's big screen.
Financial terms of Eterna's commitment were not released.
Andrew Markham, head of sales at Southampton, said: "When we create a new partnership it's important that the companies we work with share our passion for excellence and continuous improvement. In Eterna we have found such a partner.
"Their stated goal is to achieve 'excellence in all things' and as pioneers in watchmaking they have created a series of firsts over the years; from patenting the first wrist alarm clock to inventing the ball-bearing mounted rotor system that became the industry standard. Eterna is a company that is always seeking a better way – just like Southampton."
Eterna vice president David Vallata added: "As a founding member of the Premier League, Southampton shares the same values as Eterna: a pioneering and innovative spirit, attention to detail and a belief in teamwork.
"This partnership provides us with a global platform to increase awareness of the Eterna brand and gives Southampton and its fans a world-class timekeeping partner to mark the exciting moments in the seasons ahead."

Commission for a Harry Styles pixel face :P
Commission for a Harry Styles pixel face :P
Hey! My first minicomic EVER is available for download as a 10-page PDF at a name-your-price basis! That means you can download it for however much you think it's worth :) You can throw me a dollar or two, or if you're as broke as I am just type "0" in the money box and download it for free! It's up to you, but I'm seriously poor so anything would be nice. I attached a few random frames from the comic as a preview, let me know what you guys think!
Download link: https://gumroad.com/l/imqAm
It's already been a year in the making and here's where we're at (stylistically) so far! Just use the dumb tumblr slideshow thing (AKA press your right arrow) to scroll through them. Sorry if parts are hard to read, Tumblr is complicated.
It is done! I guess! Here's a link to the original with the PDF to download if you wanna fill it in yourself: link
"Twist the bones and bend the back…"
I made Hocus Pocus art! This was a huge experiment for me when it comes to shading because I've never done it this way before. I think it looks AIIGHT. It was definitely a learning experience for me. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! *edit* okay fine I made one little change now I'm never looking at this again!
I made this pixel face for my absolute favorite Australian Johneepixels7! Johneepixels? Pixel face? It was meant to be.
Omgerd I'm actually doing art for myself today. Look, it's me! I'm trying to figure out the weirdness going on with that left leg (as in MY left, not…the leg on the left?)…Whatever man, WIP!
Literally every single time I tweet something. Here's my twitter, btw: http://www.twitter.com/dudendaeaseonup
Also I'm experimenting with some tones. Well, one tone. Just wanted to see what it could look like.

The foreword of the "2012 Deseret News Church Almanac" invites readers "to peruse the statistics, the histories, the biographies. In the course of some thoughtful reflection, you'll gain a sensation of the Church in motion." For 38 years the paperback almanac has provided updates on the growth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it continues that tradition in review of 2011.
The News In Review section features members donned in familiar yellow "helping hands" T-shirts and vests after natural disasters hit throughout the world.
Statistics are also of note in the Almanac. The 150 millionth copy of the Book of Mormon was printed during the year and familysearch.org reached 15 billion hits online. A total of nine new temples were announced during 2011 and five new missions were created. In Indonesia the first stake was organized in that country and the church continued to expand into what was called "that vast empire" when the first stake was created in Russia and the second in the former Soviet Union.
Other sections include:
Changes in general church leadership
Administrative and policy announcements
Temple news
Awards and honors
Listing of past and present general authorities and general auxiliaries
Area maps and statistics of the worldwide church
Temples of the church
Historical chronology of the church
State and country histories
Published by Deseret News, the 608-page almanac sells for $19.95 and can be purchased at Deseret Book stores, by phone at 800-453-4532 or online at Deseretbook.com. More information is at ldschurchnews.com.

Simpler Syntaxby Peter W. Culicover, Ray Jackendoff

Publisher Oxford University Press, USA Language English Edition Softcover › Find signed collectible books: 'Simpler Syntax' |
This groundbreaking book offers a new and compelling perspective on the structure of human language. The fundamental issue it addresses is the proper balance between syntax and semantics, between structure and derivation, and between rule systems and lexicon. It argues that the balance struck by mainstream generative grammar is wrong. It puts forward a new basis for syntactic theory, drawing on a wide range of frameworks, and charts new directions for research.
In the past four decades, theories of syntactic structure have become more abstract, and syntactic derivations have become ever more complex. Peter Culicover and Ray Jackendoff trace this development through the history of contemporary syntactic theory, showing how much it has been driven by theory-internal rather than empirical considerations. They develop an alternative that is responsive to linguistic, cognitive, computational, and biological concerns.
Simpler Syntax is addressed to linguists of all persuasions. It will also be of central interest to those concerned with language in psychology, human biology, evolution, computational science, and artificial intelligence. [via]

Howard Bruce Sutter (/ˈsuːtər/; born January 8, 1953) is a former Major League Baseball right-handed relief pitcher. He was arguably the first pitcher to make effective use of the splitter. One of the sport's dominant relievers in the late 1970s and early 1980s, he became the only pitcher to lead the National League in saves five times (1979–1982, 1984). In 1979, Sutter won the NL's Cy Young Award as the league's top pitcher. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown in 2006.
Early career[edit]
Sutter graduated from Donegal High School in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. After being selected by the Washington Senators in the 21st round of the June 1970 draft, Sutter instead attended Old Dominion University before signing with the Cubs as a free agent in September 1971. He spent slightly over four seasons in the Cubs' farm system. When he was 19, Sutter had surgery on his arm to relieve a pinched nerve.[1]
When he recovered from surgery and returned to the mound a year later, Sutter found that his previous pitches were no longer effective. He learned the split-finger fastball from minor league pitching instructor Fred Martin. Sutter's large hands helped him to use the pitch, which was a modification of the forkball.[1] He played on the 1975 Texas League (AA) champion Midland Cubs.
Sutter joined the Cubs in 1976. After a solid debut season, Sutter had a standout season in 1977 when he had a 1.34 ERA and finished sixth and seventh in NL Cy Young Award and MVP Award voting, respectively. On September 8, 1977, Sutter struck out three batters on nine pitches — Ellis Valentine, Gary Carter and Larry Parrish — in the ninth inning of a 10-inning 3-2 win over the Montreal Expos. Sutter became the 12th NL pitcher and the 19th pitcher in MLB history to accomplish the nine-strike/three-strikeout half-inning. Sutter had also struck out the side (though not on nine pitches) upon entering the game in the eighth inning, giving him six consecutive strikeouts, tying the NL record for a reliever.
In 1979, he saved 37 games for the club, tying the NL record held by Clay Carroll (1972) and Rollie Fingers (1978) and won the NL Cy Young Award. This year also marked the first of five seasons (four consecutive) in which he led the league in saves.
In addition to the Cy Young Award, Sutter also won both the Rolaids Relief Man of the Year Award and The Sporting News Fireman of the Year Award in 1979, 1981, 1982 and 1984. He was a member of the Cardinals team which won the 1982 World Series and is credited with two saves in that Series, including the Series-clinching save in Game 7 which ended with a strikeout of Gorman Thomas and a leaping hug by catcher World Series MVP Darrell Porter; Sutter also earned the save in the pennant-clinching victory in the NLCS.
Cardinals and Braves[edit]
After five seasons with the Cubs, Sutter was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for Leon Durham and Ken Reitz in December 1980. In 1984, he tied Dan Quisenberry's major league record, set the previous year, for most saves in a season (45), a record broken by Dave Righetti (46) in 1986; Sutter's NL record was broken by Lee Smith (47) in 1991.
Sutter was named to the NL All-Star team six times (1977–1981, 1984), appearing in the games of 1978 through 1981. He played a major role in all four contests, earning the win in 1978 and 1979, and saves in 1980 and 1981.
Sutter joined the Atlanta Braves in December 1984 as a free agent. Though Sutter never reached the same level of success as he had with his previous clubs, he was momentarily the highest paid player in baseball, although he agreed to have his Atlanta contract configured so that he was paid $750,000 for six years with the rest going into an insurance fund that was to be structured to pay him $1,000,000 for 30 years.
Injuries plagued Sutter during the last four years of his career. A rotator cuff injury cost Sutter much of his 1986 season and all of his 1987 season. He returned to action with the Braves on a limited basis in 1988.[2] By March 1989, Sutter was dealing with a severely torn rotator cuff and he admitted that he would be unlikely to return to baseball. "There's probably a 99.9 percent chance I won't be able to pitch again," he said.[3] Manager Bobby Cox said that "Bruce is not going to retire. We're not going to release him. We'll put him on the 21-day disabled list, then probably move him to the 60-day DL later on."[3] Sutter planned to reevaluate his condition after resting his arm for three to four months.[3] The Braves released him that November.[4]
He retired with exactly 300 saves – at the time, the third highest total in history behind Rollie Fingers (341) and Rich "Goose" Gossage (302). His career saves total was an NL record until broken by Lee Smith in 1993; Sutter had set the NL record in 1982 with his 194th save, surpassing the mark held by Roy Face. In his first nine seasons, only Kent Tekulve made more appearances, and he saved 133 of the Cubs' 379 wins between 1976 and 1980.
Retirement and Hall of Fame[edit]
Bruce Sutter's number 42 was retired by the St. Louis Cardinals in 2006. |
Sutter appeared on his thirteenth Baseball Hall of Fame ballot in 2006. Sportswriter Matthew Leach of MLB.com referred to this ballot as Sutter's best chance for induction; he pointed out that Sutter would only be eligible for two more Hall of Fame ballots. Nearing the end of his eligibility, Sutter said he did not think about induction very often. "It's just an honor to be on the ballot, but it's not something I think that much about. I have no control over it. ... It's out of my hands. It's the voters, it's in the voters' hands. There's nothing I can do about it. I can't pitch anymore... There's a lot of guys that I think should be in that aren't in. It's for the special few people to get into the Hall of Fame. It shouldn't be easy to get in," he said.[5]
On January 10, 2006, Sutter was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in his 13th year of eligibility by receiving 400 votes out of a possible 520, or 76.9%. He is the first pitcher inducted into the Hall of Fame without starting a game[6] and the first inductee to end his career with fewer than 1700 innings pitched. Sutter's Hall of Fame plaque depicts him wearing a Cardinals cap and his trademark beard [1]. Before Sutter, Ralph Kiner (1975) was the last player elected to the Hall of Fame by the BBWAA so late in their eligibility period; Kiner was elected in his 15th and final opportunity.
Sutter's number 42, which he wore throughout his career, was retired by the St. Louis Cardinals during a ceremony at Busch Stadium on September 17, 2006. He shares his retired number with Jackie Robinson, whose number 42 was retired by all MLB teams in 1997.[2].
On August 23, 2010, he was named a minor league consultant for the Philadelphia Phillies.[7]
Personal life[edit]
Sutter stayed remained in Atlanta with his wife and three sons after retirement. His son Chad was a catcher who played for Tulane University and was selected by the New York Yankees in the 23rd round (711st overall) of the 1999 amateur draft.

Berlin 2013: Charlize Theron Attached to Star in 'Dark Places'
The film project is based on Gillian Flynn's 2009 novel about a brutal murder.
BERLIN -- Charlize Theron is attached to star in Dark Places, an adaptation of Gillian Flynn's novel that marks French director Gilles Paquet-Brenner's first American film.
Paquet-Brenner, whose credits include the acclaimed Sarah's Key and Pretty Things, brought the project to Mandalay Vision several years ago with his longtime producing partner Stephane Marsil of Hugo Productions. Now, Exclusive Media has come aboard to fully finance and produce alongside Hugo, Mandalay and Theron's company Denvery & Delilah.
Exclusive's international arm will shop the project to foreign buyers at the European Film Market in Berlin, which gets underway today. A number of foreign sales agents were interested in representing the film, despite its dark storyline.
Theron will play Libby Day, who, at the age of 7, survived the massacre of her sisters and mother in what appeared to a Satanic cult ritual. She testifies against her brother, who is convicted of the killings, but 25 years later, a group obsessed with solving notorious crimes confronts her with questions about the horrific event and she begins her own investigation.
Dark Places was published in 2009 and was listed on the New York Times Best Seller List for more than 25 weeks. The book was also shortlisted for the Crime Writers' Association Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award and won the Dark Scribe Magazine Black Quill Award for Dark Genre Novel of the Year.
"I have been working with Gilles for more than ten years now and am very proud of the films we've produced, and especially the recent worldwide success of Sarah's Key. Having developed Dark Places for the past few years as Gilles' first American film, it is truly gratifying to be working with such fantastic partners in Denver & Delilah, Exclusive Media, and Mandalay Vision," Marsil said.
Chris Lytton negotiated the deal on behalf of Exclusive Media with Mandalay Vision president Matthew Rhodes and Mandalay's counsel David Boyle.
Theron, who was last in theaters with Snow White and the Huntsman and Prometheus, will next be seen opposite Tom Hardy in George Miller's Max Max: Fury Road. She's repped by WME, Independent Talent Group and Think Tank Management.

Seahawks OT Russell Okung receiving high praise

11:21 PM ET 11.11 | Third-year Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Russell Okung has stepped up in a big way this season and is being recognized by his teammates and coaching staff for his stellar performance in 2012. After being selected by the Seahawks in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, injuries have slowed Okung's progress but he is finally making strides. Per Eric D. Williams of the Tacoma News Tribune, Okung has yet to give up a sack in nine games this season. 'Russell Okung is off to a really good year,' Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said. 'He's really playing solid, and he's getting better and improving and he's more confident. You can see that there are more plays where he is demonstrating his power and overwhelming at times by making some big time blocks.' Not only is the head coach noticing Okung's play, but his fellow offensive linemen are recognizing the former first-rounder's performance.

Emraan in Aamir's shoes for 'Dil Hai Ki...' remake
Varinder Chawla
Mumbai: Actor Emraan Hashmi will be stepping into the shoes of superstar Aamir Khan for the remake of 90s hit film 'Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahi'.
Mahesh Bhatt is remaking 'Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahi', with Hashmi reprising Aamir's character.
The original film, released in 1991, was directed by Bhatt and had his daughter Pooja Bhatt and Aamir in the lead.
While the director has not been finalised yet, it is learnt that the basic storyline will be same as the original.
"The film I directed was modelled on 'It Happened One Night' by Frank Capra, but didn't do justice to the hero's character. With this remake, we seek to do justice to the character played originally by Clark Gable, that of an unapologetic rake," Bhatt said in a statement.
"Emraan fits this character like a glove. With this film, women will now fall in love with him," he said.
In 'Dil Hai Ke Maanta Nahi', Pooja played the role of a daughter of a rich shipping tycoon Anupam Kher, while Aamir played a reporter.
Last year, Pooja had expressed her desire to remake 'Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahi' with Alia and Ranbir Kapoor in the lead.

The "Why" of Clojure - mind-bending for enlightenment with idiomatic Clojure code,
By Jacek Laskowski (Warszawa, Poland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Joy of Clojure: Thinking the Clojure Way (Paperback)
First and foremost, buy this book should you feel a need to learn the "why" of the Clojure language (btw, there're other books from Manning about the "how" and "where")."The Joy of Clojure" has been on my shelf for almost a year (I believe I could read its drafts a couple of months back when it was in the Manning Early Access Program). I knew the authors - Michael Fogus and Chris Houser - from the Clojure developer mailing list and twitter, and since they used to offer inspiring tips I was quite certain what I might've expected from their book. And I have not been mistaken! I have already read "Practical Clojure" by Luke VanderHart, Stuart Sierra (Apress, June 2010) and "Programming Clojure" by Stuart Halloway (The Pragmatic Programmers, May 2009). I remember when I wrote "lots of how but not much where and why" about the former. With "The Joy of Clojure" I've certainly been given the "why" (there's the book "Clojure in Action" from Manning which they say should supply the "where" - I can't wait to give it a read!). I'm an almost exclusively Java, object-oriented professional and functional programming paradigm had never been of my interest. Not in the slightest. It's just with the advent of Clojure when my interest sparkled. And the days of a kind of detoxification from object-orientation begun. I'm far from understanding functional programming, but I feel enlightened after having read the book. The book offers a variety of topics ranging from Clojure philosophy, functional programming foundations to Java.next with mutation (without mutation as I knew from Java) so when I finally reached the last Chapter 13. "Clojure changes the way you think" I had no reason to think otherwise. There are no mundane, never-ending chapters about the basics of Clojure, its syntax and even a subset of what could be called - the language reference. It's not to say there's no introduction to the language or functional programming. Quite the opposite, but they don't stand out and are woven so gently that it's hardly to be noticed and thus become bored from. "This isn't intended as a first book on programming, and it may not be an ideal first book on Clojure either" as says the Foreword. I fully concur with that and I don't recommend it as the very first book about Clojure, neither. "A picture is worth a thousand words" has its place here as the pictures in the book greatly support understanding of the outlined concepts. I don't think it's a book for a single go as not only did the content touch the design decisions of Clojure, but also the functional programming in general which ultimately made the book very useful even outside Clojure's realm. The book's reading was quite a tremendous mental undertaking for me. I've been using Java for about 15 years with no functional programming ever (besides simple HelloWorld-like applications), and again proved myself to spend more time to grasp the merits of functional programming with Clojure. The book's one of the very few books which I'm so proud to have read. I wish you to find some spare cycles to have the pleasure to read it as well. It'll surely be the time well spent.

Second best but still not recommended.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Joy of Clojure: Thinking the Clojure Way (Paperback)
This is probably the second best book on Clojure that you can buy however I still can't recommend it.Clojure is pretty much still leading edge and to properly take advantage of it you need to invest, practice and engage with the community. You will not learn idiomatic Clojure without doing so and you won't from just reading this book as it lacks any solid examples of idiomatic Clojure.

Why use difficult English words all the time?,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Joy of Clojure: Thinking the Clojure Way (Paperback)
The book is really good and it gives a great insight of Clojure. I am already recommending to other people who ask me about Clojure.The only thing that I found very annoying was the often usage of a more advanced English vocabulary than the one usually used in technical books. For a non English native person, such as me, it's very tiring to check the dictionary all the time while you read and even though I've read a lot of technical books in the past, it's the first time I had so many unknown words. A lot of sentences could have been much simpler and since this is a technical book, it should be an easy read for everybody, specially for people which have English as their secondary language :)

Never leave without it, a must,
By M. ELIE LABECA BENFELE (Bushey Heath, Hertfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Joy of Clojure: Thinking the Clojure Way (Paperback)
This is by far the most interesting book on the subject of clojure I've had the honor of reading to this date. Not a beginner's book, but a definite must. I own the hard-copy and carry around the PDF with me at all times. Think "The Well-Grounded Java developer" and "C# in depth" with a clojure flavour. The writing style is excellent and will keep you reading for more.If you've only been introduced to the language, get "Clojure Programming" from O'Reilly and then make sure to come back and pick up this gem at a later date. This is a classic and will last through the years to come as one. |

[Brought to you by the Blue Letter Bible]
I will stand on my guard post And station myself on the rampart; And I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me, And how I may reply fnwhen I am reproved. |
"Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his fnfaith. |
"Furthermore, wine betrays the haughty man, So that he does not stay at home. He enlarges his appetite like Sheol, And he is like death, never satisfied. He also gathers to himself all nations And collects to himself all peoples. |
"Will not all of these take up a taunt-song against him, Even mockery and insinuations against him And say, 'Woe to him who increases what is not his— For how long— And makes himself fnrich with loans?' |
"Because you have looted many nations, All the remainder of the peoples will loot you— Because of human bloodshed and violence fndone to the land, To the town and all its inhabitants. |
"Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house To put his nest on high, To be delivered from the hand of calamity! |
"You have devised a shameful thing for your house By cutting off many peoples; So you are sinning against yourself. |
"Surely the stone will cry out from the wall, And the rafter will answer it from the fnframework. |
"Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed And founds a town with fnviolence! |
"Is it not indeed from the LORD of hosts That peoples toil for fire, And nations grow weary for nothing? |
"For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea. |
"Woe to you who make fnyour neighbors drink, Who mix in your venom even to make them drunk So as to look on their nakedness! |
"You will be filled with disgrace rather than honor. Now you yourself drink and fnexpose your own nakedness. The cup in the LORD'S right hand will come around to you, And utter disgrace will come upon your glory. |
"Woe to him who says to a piece of wood, 'Awake!' To a mute stone, 'Arise!' And that is your teacher? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, And there is no breath at all inside it. |
