What previous seminar participants have to say:
I learned so much from Barbara's workshop. She is committed to helping other people grow and become more fulfilled. She is passionate about her mission and it shows in every detail - from the thought and work she put into planning the agenda and activities, through the careful execution of the entire day. I had two epiphanies during the exercises in that one workshop. To me, that constitutes an extraordinary process from a passionate coach and leader. Thank you Barbara.
- JM, Seminar Participant
The Odyssey I
I so enjoyed the experience and the benefits of the day. I am still thinking about many of the revealing aspects of the work. It was a wonderful opportunity for purposeful introspection in a supportive and caring community of women.
-DS, Seminar Participant
(During the day's retreat) we worked hard and there was emotion but with purpose and focus and I felt like telling my story was authentic. All too often I tell it but feel like I have to 'spin' it to meet some external criterion or another. I felt as if looking back was truly in the service of moving forward. Your thoughtfulness in assembling the group is much appreciated.

We govern our lives with rules, lists, checks and balances; yet many of us don't apply those same principles in our personal and professional lives.
In a recent landmark U.S. study on happiness, the essential element was not wealth, losing those last ten pounds or the number of friends one had. Those who self-identified as happiest all had lives that they felt 'had purpose and connection'. Whether this is a calling, a faith or a mission, a life with purpose is attainable by everyone.
Join Barbara Waxman for a powerful day long experience that will have long term personal and professional benefits.

Oceanside pushing to clear river channel by March
OCEANSIDE - The first of three phases to clear the choking web of trees, cattails and brush from the San Luis Rey River channel will be completed by March if the city can get an OK from the California Department of Fish and Game, city planner Jerry Hittleman said last week.
The work plan finds a balance between the needs of endangered species in the area and flood control, but has been criticized by city council members because it reduces the flood capacity of the channel.
The city has battled since 2000 to get the channel, which encompases the lower 7.2 miles of the San Luis Rey River, cleared of such debris. It was in that year that the Army Corps of Engineers completed a system of flood control levees along the river and planted the vegetation.
Since then the growth has created a sanctuary for seven endangered species, including the least Bell's vireo, which nests between March and late September. The nesting pattern requires the clearing be done during the fall and winter months.
The vegetation has also compromised the channel's ability to handle flooding, which is costing homeowners money. Until maintenance plans for the riverbed are finalized, the city can't redraw flood maps, forcing an estimated 1,000 home and business owners living in the river's old flood plain to pay yearly flood insurance premiums - typically about $400 for homeowners and $1,000 for businesses.
Additional conservation measures may be required by the California Department of Fish and Game and approval of the clearing plan hinges on certification of the environmental report, according to Hittleman.
On Tuesday, Jay Field, a spokesman for the Corps, said the Corps was very much aware of the heightened potential for flooding on the river, and had worked with the city to develop an emergency plan in addition to the plan for phased clearing.
"The goal is to minimize the risk," he said.
Field said the emergency plan would be used in the event of an actual or predicted flood. It includes monitoring rainfall and runoff forecasts, removing debris that might collect at the bridge supports along the river and emergency clearing of vegetation in the channel that would be consistent with the phased clearing plan.
"We're ready to put this emergency plan into effect if we need to," Field said. "Hopefully we'll get the clearing done before that's necessary."
The Corps has worked with various state and federal environmental agencies for nearly seven years to come up with the best way to clear the channel while sparing the Bell's vireo habitat, which is shared with the willow flycatcher and yellow-billed cuckoo.
"We unintentionally created a wetlands habitat for the vireo," Field said during an interview in November 2005. "In 1988, before the project began, there were only eight pairs of vireos in the riverbed. Now there are more than 100."
Field said Tuesday between 110 and 120 pairs of Bell's vireos nest in the riverbed now.
The U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife has already agreed to phased clearing, which will cost the Army Corps $12.4 million over eight years with annual costs for clearing and mowing estimated to be about $2.7 million. The first phase is estimated to cost $7 million, Field said, with the Corps paying 75 percent and the city 25 percent.
The second and third phases will be completed after each successive vireo breeding season.
Scott Sobiech, deputy field supervisor with the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife in Carlsbad, said the department has concluded that the plan won't jeopardize "the continued existence of federally listed threatened and endangered species."

Quarterback Josh Johnson passed for 314 yards and three touchdowns to lead host San Diego to a 49-7 victory over Butler in a Pioneer Football League North Division game at Torero Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 8. The Homecoming win lifted the Toreros to 5-1 on the season and 1-0 in PFL North Division play, while Butler fell to 0-6 on the year and 0-1 in league play.
Johnson, in his first season as a starter for head coach Jim Harbaugh, connected on 26 of 32 passes in the game. He tossed a first quarter, 31-yard touchdown pass to John Matthews and second quarter scoring aerials of 10 yards to Nick Garton and 29 yards to Adam Hannula, before giving way to back-up quarterback David Perez late in the third quarter.
The Toreros jumped to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter on the touchdown pass to Matthews and a 19-yard pass interception return for a touchdown by Josh Brisco. The two second quarter touchdown tosses and the first of two touchdown runs by tailback JT Rogan made it 35-0 at halftime.
Rogan, who scored from eight yards out in the second period, added a two-yard scoring run in the third quarter, before the Bulldogs cracked the scoring column on a 14-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback T. J. Brown to wide receiver Matt McCanna. It was the first career touchdown pass for Brown, who entered the game when starting quarterback Bob Farmer was injured in the first half. The touchdown catch was McCanna's second this season.
Perez ended the game's scoring with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Eric Gregg early in the fourth quarter. The Toreros finished with 576 yards in total offense, including 373 through the air.
San Diego's top-ranked defense limited the Bulldogs to just 53 yards on the ground and 163 total yards. Junior tailback Billy Nardini gained 50 rushing yards on 12 carries, while Brown completed six of 16 passes for 92 yards. Sophomore Nate Miller was Butler's top pass receiver with four catches for 74 yards. Sophomore linebacker Mike Marzotto matched his career-high with 14 tackles in the game, including nine solo stops. He's led the Bulldogs in tackles for four consecutive weeks.
The Bulldogs will return to Indianapolis and prepare for their annual Homecoming game against Valparaiso on Saturday, Oct. 15. The 1 p.m. (EST) contest will be Butler's second in the newly-renovated Butler Bowl.

Not So Fast is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony given to protagonist Luis Fernando Lopez by Gay Tony from his apartment at the Little Italy district of Liberty City or the Hercules nightclub. It ties in with Museum Piece of Grand Theft Auto IV and Collector's Item of The Lost and Damned. This mission takes place from Luis's point of view, in which he ambushes the diamond exchange between Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz, and the Jewish Mob.
In this mission, Luis escapes via helicopter while Niko and Johnny fight goons in the right and left hallway, respectively. Luis drops down from the scaffolding and chases after Isaac Roth after killing several guards and Mori Green during the deal. Isaac hides under the table from Luis. After making Luis an offer, Isaac is knocked unconscious by the butt of his rifle and Luis makes it to the roof, where he takes Yusuf's gold-plated Buzzard to safety after dealing with three police choppers.
Upon completion the player is awarded the Diamonds Forever achievement.
You start from Hercules. You'll phone Yusuf Amir to borrow his Buzzard, which now has gold plating. After the phone call, get to the West River Helipad, which is not far. Once in the Buzzard, fly to The Libertonian. Once there, go down the scaffolding and watch the deal cutscene from Luis's point of view. After the cutscene is finished, climb up the ladders and get back to your Buzzard and fly back to the Helipad. However, 3 NOOSE Annihilator's will force you to turn back and destroy them. It is not a walk in the park however, as they will shoot rockets from their chopper, as well as use their new explosive rounds on you. Use your miniguns to destroy them, as it might be hard to aim the rockets while you're swinging around. A skilled pilot will easily destroy the helicoptors. Destroy them and back to the Helipad. Tony will shout through his Schafter window: "Hey Lou, arriving in style!" and Luis gives him the diamonds.

Luis about to ambush the deal.
- Not So Fast 3.JPG
Luis in Yusuf Amir's gold plated Buzzard taking out LCPD Annihilators.
- The dealer who fires at Luis in the cutscene has a Pump Shotgun, but the shotgun lying on the ground afterwards is the Combat Shotgun.
- Just like from Johnny's and Niko's point of view, it is possible to kill the other protagonist. Luis can kill both of them, although you fail the mission if any of them die, despite them being enemies.
- Niko was animated with a different running style during his appearance in this mission. It is the same animation that Brucie and Roman take when on friend activities.
- Niko can be heard shooting a SMG and Johnny shooting an Assault Shotgun during this mission.
- This is the first time this event was seen in a different cinematic point of view, as camera angles were edited to show what Luis was doing while Niko and Johnny tried to sell the diamonds. It seems that there has been a re-recording of Luis's voice. There is a slight difference between The Ballad Of Gay Tony and the other versions.
- Before climbing the ladder to escape the museum, you can hear both Niko and Johnny taunting their enemies.
- One of the people inside calls the Buzzard a golden monstrosity, while Luis calls it a golden goose.
- If you have a Carbine Rifle or a M249, it will be replaced by the AK-47 after the cutscene when busting the deal.
- In GTA IV, Johnny´s bike (the earlier Hellfury was retconned here by Johnny's Hexer) is standing next to the door Johnny uses to exit. However, there is no helicopter on the roof of the museum, and no Annihilator wrecks in the streets after fleeing. Which means that Rockstar Games didn't know (yet) how Luis would end up in this mission. Though in the mission it is possible the Annihilators will not confront you till your well over the river.
- In GTA IV, the bike Johnny used to escape was a Hellfury, this was retconned in TLAD with his custom Hexer. Also, during both GTA IV and TLAD, Luis' version of events were not planned past the point where he crashes the deal, therefore there is no sign of his Buzzard or any Annihilator's in the sky, this can also be seen in TLAD credits.
- This mission is probably the easiest way to obtain the Police Maverick. Just kill the officers and take it. You will, however, fail the mission, since you have to get in the Buzzard.
- The Police in the Annihilators will yell at Luis to "Put that weird ass chopper down now!" a refrence to it's strange colour.

Nov. 29, 2006
Indianapolis, Ind. - Butler nailed a season-high 10 three-pointers on the night and played stifling defense down the stretch as the Bulldogs overcame a nine-point, second-half deficit to claim a gutsy, 58-53, victory over visiting IUPUI at Hinkle Fieldhouse on Wednesday (Nov. 29) evening.
Trailing 45-36 with 9:32 remaining in the second half, the Bulldogs went on a 13-0 run over the next five minutes. After Candace Bain got things rolling with a jumper from the right side, Ellen Hamilton and Cassie Freeman went back-to-back from beyond the arc to cut the lead to one before Hamilton netted her fourth trey of the night with 5:44 remaining to give the Bulldogs a two-point lead.
Butler (2-4) worked out to a four-point advantage and held a 53-49 lead with 2:21 remaining, but IUPUI (4-2) would not go away, as the Jaguars cut the deficit in half on a lay-up by Julia Whitted with just over a minute to go. Candace Jones would all but seal the game for the Bulldogs just over 20 seconds later, as Jackie Closser found the sophomore guard out on the right corner, who netted the Bulldogs' 10th triple of the night to put Butler up by five with a minute to play.
IUPUI attempted to force overtime, trimming the lead to three with 48 seconds on the clock, but a game-tying three-point attempt by Alicia Booyer with three ticks remaining missed its mark and gave the Bulldogs their second victory of the season and end a mild three-game winless skid.
The two teams battled through a scrappy opening half, trading the lead 13 times in the first 20 minutes alone, all the way down to the final second in the stanza.
With the Bulldogs leading, 27-26 with under a minute remaining, Booyer hit a triple to put the Jaguars on top with 48 seconds on the clock. After Freeman split a pair of free throws to cut the deficit to one, Jones nailed a three-pointer as the buzzer sounded to give Butler its first halftime lead of the season at 31-29.
Hamilton paced all scorers with 16 points in the game, going 4-of-8 from three and 6-of-11 from the field. Jones finished with 14 points on 4-of-8 shooting, including three treys, and added six rebounds. Freeman added nine points and six boards.
Sophomore Candyce Brown came off the bench to lead the Bulldogs with seven rebounds on the night and hit both of her free throws with 1.6 seconds left in the game to ice the win.
A three-pointer by Closser just a minute into the contest gave the Bulldogs their first lead of the night and extended the senior guard's three-point streak to 34 games, dating back to the 2005-06 season opener.
The Bulldogs return to action on Saturday (Dec. 2) when they host Ball State in the second game of the State Farm Hoosier Classic beginning at 3:30 p.m. at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Valparaiso will take on Indiana State beginning at 1:00 p.m. in the first contest.

Besides all the font feedback. I would suggest the harsh line that you have defining the green in the tale looks awkward to me. Have you tried actually swooping that so maybe it looks like it flows into the large portion of green you have on the body. I think just slightly curve a point to the back side of the whale to where the green disappears behind it and then reappears on the large part of the whales body.
Other than that...COOL!

The 42-year-old lieutenant governor told the Associated Press Thursday that she's under a doctor's order not to attend the fair.
Hundreds of people congregate there in the summer heat to hear speeches, shake hands and socialize.
The fair's political speeches are scheduled for July 28 and 29. Tuck was scheduled to have a prime speaking time on the first morning.
Also expected to skip the fair this year is House Speaker Billy McCoy. The 61-year-old lawmaker remains in Mississippi Methodist Rehabilitation Center in Jackson as he recovers from diverticulitis, an inflammation of the digestive tract.
Surgeons at the University of Mississippi Medical Center on June 5 removed about a foot of McCoy's colon.

DOJ Seeks to Broaden Patriot Act on Asset Freezes
WASHINGTON—After two losses in court, the Justice Department is pushing Congress to broaden a provision of the Patriot Act that allows U.S. judges to freeze assets linked to foreign crimes.
In recent cases in New York and Washington, D.C., federal judges ruled the Justice Department acted prematurely on requests by foreign governments for restraining orders against hundreds of millions of dollars in assets allegedly controlled by a Russian businessman and a Brazilian banker, both ensnared in criminal investigations in their native countries.
The cases have raised questions about the extent to which U.S. prosecutors and courts should rely on the legal processes of foreign governments, particularly in countries with unproven or uneven criminal justice systems. The issue has taken on more weight amid a global trend for greater international cooperation in law enforcement, spurred in large part by the U.S.
The courts ruled the department may seek to have assets frozen based on a judgment from a foreign court, but not on allegations of violations of foreign law or temporary orders by foreign courts.
That reading of the law, prosecutors argued in pleadings, could hamper "significant national interests" by undermining the Justice Department's ability to assist foreign governments during—rather than after—criminal investigations.
Department officials fear the rulings, if left standing, will make foreign governments less receptive to U.S. overtures for legal assistance. The rulings are also a potential setback for a new Justice Department unit that will focus exclusively on forfeiture actions against assets of corrupt foreign officials.
The department was "disappointed" by the rulings but remains "committed to strong enforcement action to help recover the proceeds of kleptocracy and exclude those proceeds from our financial systems," a department spokeswoman said.
The department is crafting legislation that would make it clear the U.S. can restrain assets based on requests for legal assistance from a foreign government, prior to a judgment by a foreign court, Justice Department officials said.
But some are wary of a law that could, in effect, make the U.S. a silent partner in foreign investigations with dubious underpinnings.
Bruce Zagaris, a partner with Berliner Corcoran & Rowe LLP in Washington who practices forfeiture law, pointed to allegations of police misconduct in the Brazilian banker investigation and documented corruption in Russia's judicial system.
"If the U.S. government is freezing and tying up assets for third parties on the basis of evidence that is not solid, that doesn't help their efforts against corruption," Mr. Zagaris said.
The department is taking a calculated risk, he said.
Federal judges, meanwhile, have raised concerns about the law being turned on a U.S. citizen.
"So under the government's interpretation, a U.S. citizen's assets could be frozen for years—without any meaningful substantive judicial review in a U.S. court," wrote Judge Brett Kavanaugh, of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, in the July decision related to the Brazilian businessman.
The cases turned on language in a provision of the 2001 Patriot Act that permits U.S. courts to "preserve the availability of property subject to a foreign forfeiture or confiscation judgment."
The Justice Department argued Congress intended "foreign forfeiture" to include legal actions, such as restraining orders, that lead to a person forfeiting assets acquired though crime.
The department has sought prejudgment restraining orders about a dozen times in the last decade, according to court documents, but Justice Department officials say the tool is vital in an era of increased international cooperation in law enforcement.
"Asset recovery is a global imperative and the department is more focused on it than ever before," the spokeswoman said.
Justice Department officials had been working on legislation for more than a year, but the ruling in the New York case has added new urgency to their efforts.
In April, U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl granted the department's request to freeze three corporate banking accounts, one investment account, a 2007 Bentley Arnage and a 2008 Mercedes GL 450, according to court documents.
Prosecutors say the assets belong to Yury Stepanchenko, a former member of the Primorye regional parliament who faces charges in Russia in connection with an alleged scheme to rig the auctions of government real estate, according to court documents.
Mr. Stepanchenko fled Russia around the time of the 2007 indictment and now lives in New York City. He has denied wrongdoing, saying the charges against him are politically motivated.
Judge Koeltl dissolved his own order in a Nov. 12 opinion, after Mr. Stepanchenko's lawyers challenged it on the grounds the Justice Department had ignored the law's "judgment" requirement.
In dissolving the order, Judge Koeltl described the Justice Department's view of the law as "troublingly open-ended," but he stopped short of condemning it.
"It might well be that the authority claimed by the government is wise or even necessary, and the government's proposed procedures might be a sensible way to implement it," he wrote. "But that is a decision for Congress to make, not this court."
The ruling followed the July 16 decision authored by Judge Kavanaugh. The D.C. Circuit panel held that a U.S. district judge couldn't freeze assets linked to a prominent Brazilian financier, Daniel Valente Dantas, and others under investigation by Brazilian authorities for financial fraud.
The Justice Department had asked the judge to block about $500 million based on a request for legal assistance from the Brazilian government.
Judge Kavanaugh said the department's interpretation ignored plain language in the law, and he dismissed arguments that Congress intended for the law to be used prior to a foreign forfeiture judgment.
"Congress does not typically hide elephants in mouseholes, and the government's assertion of authority in this case qualifies as such an elephant," the judge said.

You know the accent mark of 2 dots above a character, like this ö? I usually call it umlaut, but a more correct term to describe that accent mark is Diaeresis.
Accent mark itself is called Diacritic. I've always been fascinated by these symbols and their names, since teen.
Here's a list of common diacritics and their names:
diacritic = aka {diacritical mark, diacritical point, diacritical sign} is a glyph added to a letter, or basic glyph. From ancient Greek διά (dia = through) and κρίνω (krinein = to separate)
Note that some foreign char such as ñ in Spanish, is not considered as n with a accent mark. It is a distinct letter by itself.
Historically, diaeresis and umlaut refer to two distinct phonological phenomena.
The diaeresis is used to denote the phenomenon also known as diaeresis, or hiatus, in which a vowel letter is not part of a digraph or diphthong. e.g. "cooperation".
"Umlaut" refers to a historical sound shift in German. In German, umlauts are found as ä, ö and ü. The name is used in some other languages that share these symbols with German or where the Latin spelling was introduced in the 19th century, replacing marks that had been used previously. The phonological phenomenon of umlaut occurred historically in English as well (man ~ men; full ~ fill; goose ~ geese) in a way cognately parallel with German, but English orthography does not write the sound shift using the umlaut diacritic. Instead, a different letter is used.
The two diacritical uses originated separately, with the diaeresis being considerably older. Nevertheless, in modern computer systems using Unicode, the umlaut and diaeresis diacritics are identical: ⟨ä⟩ represents both a-umlaut and a-diaeresis.
Wikipedia has nice and complete explanations on other Diacritic.

TSA Song by Singing SOBs Cheers Up Vacationers in Montana Airport (VIDEO)
Posted Aug 3rd 2011 10:40 AMUpdated Aug 3rd 2011 12:26 PM
Though they packed in all the information they found in old TSA videos – bring this, don't bring that – the SSOB's video is definitely a departure from traditional safety line fare. The video depicts the three men singing a sort of Caribbean shanty song while trying to sneak into the airport with shotguns and (the image is hard to forget) grinding against the metal detector.
Steve Riddle, who is a third of the Singing Sons of Beaches along with Nick Terhaar and Greg Devlin, told MSNBC, "We took the TSA video home. And, oh my gosh, it is the most boring sort of government video we're all used to seeing."
He added: "We used it all. And we made it rhyme."
The video below seems bound to win these guys a Grammy for Best Use of a Kickball in a Music Video.

I've followed the instructions at the top of this thread and deployed the zimlet per the INSTALL.txt but
I keep getting "hostname cannot be null" in the mailboxd.log file.
I've modified the hostname in the ch_bnc_asterisk_config.xml file before running:
Then after restarting zimbra and logging the Zimbra client off. It still doesn't appear that ZCS 6.01 is using the proper config directive values.Code:zmzimletctl configure /tmp/ch_bnc_asterisk_config.xml
Any ideas what I need to do to force the zimlet to accept the configuration?

The poorman's fonts, pmC and pmJ, are less than ideal implementations of Chinese and Japanese for TeX. They are less than ideal because they use fonts based on 24x24 dot-matrix fonts, and don't do vertical format typesetting and so forth.
The poorman's bundle provides a Metafont code generator, which reads a dot matrix font, and emits code to represent it. Also provided are macros that permit use of the fonts in a TeX document.

The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and Practice
Verso, 1995 - Biography & Autobiography - 98 pages
In a frank expose of the Teresa cult, Hitchens details the nature and limits of one woman's mission to the world's poor. He probes the source of the heroic status bestowed upon an Albanian nun whose only declared wish is to serve God. He asks whether Mother Teresa's good works answer any higher purpose than the need of the world's privileged to see someone, somewhere, doing something for the Third World. He unmasks pseudo-miracles, questions Mother Teresa's fitness to adjudicate on matters of sex and reproduction, and reports on a version of saintly ubiquity which affords genial relations with dictators, corrupt tycoons and convicted frauds.

Review: The Missionary Position: Mother Teresa in Theory and PracticeUser Review - Goodreads
With "The Missionary Position," Christopher Hitchens bends over the infamous ghoul of Calcutta and delivers a hard-as-nails Hitchslap to Mother Teresa's legacy that few ever dared or had the courage to challenge at the time. Needless to say, Hitchen's sting leaves a mark that rubs raw. Read full review

The Indian Express explores VGTM, the 7,000-sq-km region within which the state government plans to set up its capital:
The TDP government is bent on having the Andhra Pradesh capital in a region known as VGTM (Vijayawada-Guntur-Tenali-Mangalagiri). The cabinet has cleared a decision to set it up between Vijayawada and Guntur, with Nuzvedu as an option, although a central committee under former urban development secretary K Sivaramakrishnan has opposed that stretch. The central panel has recommended three other options Vizag region in north Andhra, Rayalaseema arc comprising Kurnool, Anantapur, Tirupathi, Kadapa and Chittoor, and land along the proposed Kalahasti-Nadikudi railway line.
7,068 sq km
Size of VGTM, which is almost as large as Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authoritys jurisdiction of 7,257 sq km. VGTM Urban Development Authority includes the corporations of Vijayawada and Guntur, the municipalities of Mangalagiri, Tenali, Gudivada, Nuzvedu, Ponnur, Sattenapalli and Tadepalli in Krishna and Guntur districts, the nagar panchayats of Nandigama and Vayyuru, and 800 gram panchayats.
The VGTM (Vijayawada-Guntur-Tenali-Mangalagiri) region.
* Vijayawada
In the heart of Coastal andhra, it is the most developed city after Vizag, an educational hub it includes Dr NTR University of Health Sciences, and School of Planning and Architecture, and will get a National Institute of Design campus as well a vital transportation link for all of Seemandhra with its BRTS and railway station, the most important junction in South Central Railways network. But it lacks the space for setting up a new capital township, and has little scope for expansion due to the river Krishna flowing through the city, and low hills surrounding it. Besides, agricultural land prices are high.
* Mangalgiri
17 km from Vijayawada, 24 km from Guntur city. Located on NH-5 (Chennai-Jharpokaria, Orissa), which is part of the Golden Quadrilateral along the east coast connecting Chennai and Kolkata, Mangalgiri has developed as a satellite town of Vijayawada. It is known for pure cotton Mangalagiri sarees and fabrics, Acharya Nagarjuna University, NRI Academy of Medical Sciences, and Koneru Lakshmaiah University; an international cricket stadium is under construction. The government is eyeing 1,198 acres of degraded forest land as well as 300 acres government land near Acharya Nagarjuna University.

Well Samsung had one of the most exciting press conferences at CES 2014. I'm talking people were clinging to the walls in order to get a sneak peak at all the new products. I even had to stand! I know! First world problems.
One of the most exciting things we saw was the expansion of Samsung's Ultra HD display line. The company showed us the massive 105-inch curved Ultra HD display and announced plans for the 55-inch, 65-inch and 78-inch curved UHD sets. However, there are no set price points yet. But leave me tell you, these displays were pretty amazing.
Joe Stinziano, Samsung's Executive TV, said "Ultra HD is going to drive the next change in the TV industry." And it seems like Samsung is living up to that judging by their CES 2014 press conference.
But the displays are not Samsung's only new innovations for Ultra HD. The company will also add Ultra HD content through its smart hub including Amazon, M-Go, Netflix, Comcast and DirecTV. Here's the cool part, the Smart Hub interfaces lets users split the screen into four different quadrant. For Baxter, this will enable users to multitask like never before.
The company also announced plans to add streaming Ultra HD content through its Smart Hub; partners include Amazon, M-GO, Netflix, Comcast and DirecTV.
On the curved UHD sets, the company's new Smart Hub interface lets you split the screen into four different quadrants, with Web content and related YouTube videos among the multiscreen options. The multiview feature "really plays off the fact that consumers are multitasking," said Tim Baxter, president of Samsung Electronics America's consumer electronics division.
Nanda Ramachandran, Vice President of Samsung Telecommunications America, announced the new Samsung tablets. These are entitled the Pro-Devices such as the Tab-Pro and the Note Pro which includes the innovative S-pad. These new tablets feature 4 million pixel WQXGA 2560 x 1600. And Magazine UX brings all your apps together in one role. The new tablets also involve Multi Window which enables users to open 4 windows at once.

College Hockey:No Place Like Home
Friars Continue Their Dominance of UNH at Schneider Arena
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — New Hampshire and Providence have always been neck-and-neck in the Hockey East standings over the years, but both teams have been dominant on their respective home surfaces. Saturday was no different as the Friars blew away the No. 8 Wildcats by a 5-1 margin.
Junior Karen Thatcher led the way for Providence (13-6-4, 8-0-1 Hockey East) with two goals, including the game's first goal at 5:09 in when she redirected a centering pass from Rush Zimmerman underneath the crossbar.
"We had some people not competing the whole game, and Providence is the kind of team with Thatcher and Zimmerman, if you take a shift or half a shift off, you're going to find the puck in the back of the net," said UNH coach Brian McCloskey. "[Providence] was opportunistic, they created chances and took advantage."
The more surprising development for Providence was that three freshmen scored goals in addition to Thatcher's pair. Such contributions were essential, because the Friars' third-leading scorer Sonny Watrous was out due to injury.
"[Watrous] is a big loss for us, but at the same time look what our freshmen have done," said Providence coach Bob Deraney. "Our freshmen scored three goals. That shows the amount of confidence we have in them, and how much they have, and how far they've come. They've just answered the bell extremely well."
Freshman Kelli Doolan but the Friars up 2-0 early in the second period when she intercepted a UNH shot from the point towards the end of a power play and finished to the upper right corner on the breakaway.
UNH bounced back and cut the deficit to 2-1 when sophomore Nicole Hekle fed across to linemate Stephanie Jones for a top-shelf finish at 6:25 of the second period. But any Wildcat momentum was short-lived as Friar freshman Cherie Hendrickson scored her first career goal 33 seconds later. Hendrickson buried a loose puck that was left for her by the physical work of Rush Zimmerman.
UNH began to take itself out of the game with a pair of penalties just past the midway point of the second period. The Wildcats killed off the first end of a 5-on-3, but they could not stop Thatcher from putting in a backhand rebound on the 5-on-4 for a 4-1 lead.
Friar freshman defenseman Kathleen Smith rounded out the game's scoring at 4:30 of the third period, when she collected the rebound off a shot by freshman Rachel Crissy. Smith became the second Friar to net her first career goal this game.
Providence senior Amy Thomas was solid in net with a 22-save performance. Sophomore Melissa Bourdon stopped 30 for the Wildcats.
With the victory, Providence improved to a 4-1 mark against UNH at Schneider Arena in Hockey East history. UNH also fell to 3-3-1 on the road this season. The Wildcats will hope for better luck tomorrow at the Whittemore Center, where they are 3-0 against the Friars over the previous two seasons of conference play.
But UNH knows it'll have to do better in small rinks to be successful further down the line.
"We didn't handle the small surface well," McCloskey said. "The game physical in that rink, but we're going to have to get used to those rinks because we have Maine and UConn coming up for four of the next five."

thank you for allowing me to critique a great work of art, i will be as thorough as i possibly can. the overall composition of this peace is really good. the line art is very good and it works real well on the details in the sword, shield and clothing. you definitely have your own style, it shows real well when viewing links face. the use of colors were beautifully used on the character that you did very well to capture the color tones. my only flaw would be the execution to do the chain mail on link. it looks rather scaly. i think it may be a little difficult to draw a chain mail, but it's not much of a big deal. you did a great job on link and i thank you again for allowing me to critique a koo composition, keep up the good work X]
First and foremost, thank you very much for taking the time out to write a critique! Second, I appreciate your compliments on the color, line art, and my style - I greatly appreciate it. I think you hit the nail on the head when it comes to the chain mail...due to time constraints, I needed to finish this picture and doing the details of chain mail would have pushed the picture back even farther, but now that the deadline's passed, I may go back and make a revision. Thank you again for your time, advice, and kind words

Google Celebrates India's Republic Day 2013 With A Doodle
This is the third such commemorative logo for the occasion.
Today, India celebrates its 64th year as a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic. As preparations for the main parade at the New Delhi, at the Rajpath before the President of India was getting its final touches, Google has decided to do its bit. The third art of its kind, Google has put up a doodle to celebrate the occasion. The art features the "national animal" (tiger) and the "national flower" (lotus) of India, with the India Gate in the background, and the Google logo within the tiger's stripes.
In 2010 the doodle depicted fighter plane stunts, emitting colours of the national flag. But the most impressive doodle appeared last year, with decorated elephants parading National Bravery Award winning kids. The striped tiger though looks bewildered and lost: dare we say, much like the country itself?

There is always some bated breath involved when a new WITCHERY album is about to drop. It's not like the all-star quintet has ever disappointed, but the bar was set so high with the raw thrash power of those first three albums in particular that I'm always wondering whether the other shoe will drop. It hasn't yet, certainly doesn't with "Witchkrieg", and I doubt it ever will. Let the exhaling begin.If anything, "Witchkrieg" is a surlier album than "Don't Fear the Reaper", the latter of which took me a time or two to fully appreciate due to Tue Madsen's tighter/thicker/cleaner mix. The recording this time around is no less professional and the mix is geared toward maximum instrument separation, yet the balance is struck between thrashing menace and superb sound quality. I can't help but think some of that has to do with new vocalist Legion (DEVIAN, ex-MARDUK). He brings a delivery that is unique and excoriating at once. The hot bloodedness of "Witchkrieg" has a lot to do with his involvement. Feeling like a high speed jaunt over rough terrain, the vehicle at times appears ready to flip until the realization hits that the success of the disc is due in large part to the unhinged manner in which grainy textures join the jagged licks of Rickard Rimfält and Jensen (THE HAUNTED) and the mammoth rhythm section of bassist Sharlee D'Angelo (ARCH ENEMY) and drummer Martin Axe (OPETH, BLOODBATH). What results is a tidal wave of frayed nerves and broken bones. "Witchkrieg" is also an album that is full of truly great songs that plaster themselves to the frontal lobes. Most noteworthy are tumultuous bookend thrash anthems "Witchkrieg" (tailor made for Kerry King's guest solo appearance) and "Witch Hunter", a supreme quartet of catchy tunes in "Wearer of Wolf's Skin", "The God Who Fell from Earth" (featuring soloing from Hank Shermann), "The Reaver" (featuring the solos of Lee Altus and Gary Holt), "Conqueror's Return", and the curiously titled "From Dead to Worse" (guest solo from Andy La Rocque) with a refrain that you just can't shake. We're talking 10 cuts, 10 aces. Forget about any "bad" songs or "filler," there isn't anything that even approaches mediocrity. Beyond the excellence of the writing, "Witchkrieg" recaptures the spirit of those early albums, albeit with a better production. It's nasty, nefarious, and ferociously thrashing. At the end of the day, that's what WITCHERY is all about. This is mandatory.

IHRIM HRMStrategies conference and exposition
Event: IHRIM HRMStrategies conference and exposition
When: May 20-23, 2007
Where: Hilton Americas-Houston
What: The International Association for Human Resource Information Management is a professional group for HR technology professionals. IHRIM's 2007 HRMStrategies—or human resource management strategies—show gives practitioners a chance to discuss trends in the industry, including outsourcing, uncertainty around HR tech vendors and continued interest in talent management applications such as performance management software.
Conference info: For information, go towww.ihrim.org
Day 2—Tuesday, May 22, 2007
Of vendors and VPs: Halogen Software used the second day of the IHRIM conference as the occasion to announce a new version of its performance management software for health care organizations. The company said Tuesday that its eAppraisal Healthcare 8.1 will be released this summer. New features of the product focus on reducing the workload for nurse managers and providing easy access to reports and detailed information for surveyors who audit health care organizations.
Halogen's news followed on the heels of a product announcement Monday from Lawson, another software vendor at the show. Lawson said it is selling human capital management software as a service delivered over the Internet. Designed to simplify the ownership of business software, the new offering allows companies to pay on a per-user, per-month basis. Software as a service has emerged as an attractive alternative to the traditional approach of installing business software on company computers, in part because of fewer maintenance hassles.
All told, there are about 90 organizations present in IHRIM's exposition hall in Houston, many of them software vendors.
The conference also attracted senior HR leaders. Three HR executives sat down Tuesday for a discussion titled "Executive Panel—HR's Perceptions and Expectations of Technology and Information Management."
C. Dean Woods, vice president of human resources at electricity and natural gas delivery company CenterPoint Energy, offered an observation about using SAP software. He said SAP customers need to be prepared to adapt.
"You're supposed to make a commitment to change your processes to fit SAP, not the other way around," Woods said.
Part of SAP's latest pitch to companies is that it can help them set up technology systems that are flexible. SAP has also been making a push to embrace collaboration, including listening to customer feedback. It may want to have a conversation with Woods.
Jim Dorn, vice president and chief human resource officer at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, said HR tech leadership at his 15,000-plus-person organization requires more than software chops. Given the University of Texas cancer center's multiple division heads, savvy social skills are key for an HR information systems leader trying to make institution-wide technology calls.
"Political finesse is very important," Dorn said.
The kindest function? Political finesse may be a widespread trait among HR professionals. At a packed seminar Monday on the status and future of various Oracle product lines, attendees were polite if not downright sheepish in posing questions to Oracle official Row Henson. That may have had something to do with the way Oracle has stressed that it will continue to support and develop its PeopleSoft, J.D. Edwards and Oracle E-Business Suite products even as it works on Fusion applications, in which Oracle aims to blend the best of its product lines.
But the mild-mannered behavior of the 60 or so seminar participants also may have stemmed from conference-goer temperament, seminar moderator Janice D'Aolia suggested. D'Aolia, vice president of consulting firm Xcelicor, argued that human resource professionals generally are a diplomatic lot.
"HR tends to be a really nice audience," she said.
—Ed Frauenheim
Day 1—Monday, May 21, 2007
Living in interesting times: It's exciting to be an HR technology professional these days, as companies increasingly look to adopt new HR software systems. It's also potentially stressful. Corporate decisions around HR tech, including the possibility of outsourcing, can mean layoffs or a radical change in job duties.
At a seminar here on human resource outsourcing, Lorraine Kelly of food services company Sysco said creating a new firm to centralize payroll services for 60 operating units meant taking on duties beyond her familiar HR tech role.
Kelly, who is senior director of HR information systems, payroll and contract administration services at Sysco, found herself having to persuade different Sysco units to get on board with the new approach. "I have to wear a sales and marketing hat," she said.
Kelly is one of about 700 attendees at this year's IHRIM HRMStrategies conference. That's roughly the same number as last year, according to IHRIM chief executive Lynne Mealy. But, Mealy says, there's been an uptick in the number of first-time conference-goers. Whereas about 20 percent of last year's attendees were there for the first time, 27 percent of attendees this year are newbies.
That's a sign companies are keen these days to invest in technology to better manage their workforce, Mealy says.
"People are back to looking," Mealy said. "Budgets are opening up."
Her observation echoes other research. In a report last year, market research firm AMR Research said human capital management is one of the fastest-growing areas of business software, with revenue rising 10 percent annually through 2010 to $8.7 billion. Among the causes: companies determined to prepare for major demographic shifts in the workforce, and a continued desire to push productivity up and bring costs down.
Outsourcing HR or other tasks has been one way organizations have tried to wring out costs in recent years. But cost-cutting isn't the only rationale for outsourcing, said Glenn Davidson, public-sector practice leader at consulting firm EquaTerra. Public-sector and not-for-profit organizations often turn to outsourcing as a way to improve their service levels, he says.
Davidson said software vendor SAP has stood out when it comes to getting its applications used in HR outsourcing arrangements. In 2005, the latest year for which EquaTerra has crunched data, SAP was the clear leader in outsourcing deals, Davidson said. "SAP has a really keen understanding of the business process outsourcing market," he said.
Lion tamer? Conferences like IHRIM have become more pleasant for Davidson, who advises clients on outsourcing decisions. Outsourcing now is discussed in a civil way at these forums. That's a difference from the hostile environment Davidson found a decade ago from HR professionals.
"It was like walking into the lion's den," he recalled.

I have used
xuggler to play audio files other than
wav,au,aiff. Since
xuggler performs audio decoding at low level it is very hard to write a method that both forwards and rewinds the audio being played . ( while decoding xuggler analyzes each data packet and then sends it to play)
One way could be read bunch of packets at a time and then send the next packet to play.This way the effect of forwarding audio can be felt .
But i don't know how to implement this method Moreover this is not the best way i can forward the data.
Are there any direct methods to forward and rewind audio ? If not direct what is the algorithm , steps to do this ?

37 weeks and scared about pregnancy
I'm a first time mom and I went to OB Wednesday and BP was 140/85. In last week blurred vision twice and 1 bad headache. My OB said it is little high and any higher that she would send me to the hospital to be monitered. She put me on partial Bedrest. I laying low and doing no activiy. Got a good BP machine from my mom and today it has been 169/89 and then again later 153/80. I have no idea if I should call my OB and tell them or do what she said and lay low until my next week appointment and look again then. She didn't know I was going to take my own and but what I read is many people that have high BP have to go in to the doc and get it checked more or do NST. I just feel lost and don't know if I'm worring over nothing and never know if I should call my doc or not. When I do...nothing is ever a big deal and just think I should just never worry! I fear they will say come in and then they will check it and it will be perfect. Thanks for your help!

when i was pregnant my BP stayed high till i had my baby. only thing your doctor will do is make you spend the night in the hospital to keep an eye on you and the baby and probably prescribe blood pressure pills but you should definately go see your doctor now because it is very serious!!! You could have Preaclampsia or how ever you spell it. your doctor might check you for that to but from my experience i would say go to your doctor. NOW!!!posted 05/05/2011 by babymom125

If you're looking for a reason to watch the Raiders on Sunday, look no further than to their third-string quarterback. No, seriously. Following Friday's practice, head coach Dennis Allen named Terrelle Pryor the starter for the Raiders' regular season finale.
"I've decided to go with Terrelle Pryor as our quarterback," Allen said. "He'll play in the game and we'll see how the game goes. He's the starter, and we're going to go into it as we would any other game."
This news should both surprise and excite fans. Just four days ago, Allen told reporters that Pryor wasn't ready for an increased role in the offense. "Terrelle's done a nice job," Allen noted. "He's working extremely hard. We don't feel like he's ready to be the backup quarterback yet."
What a difference four days makes, eh? Maybe it's the holiday spirit, or maybe it's the result of a lost bet. Whatever the case, Pryor should instill some amount of excitement back into the Raiders' offense.
With Matt Leinhart under center, the Raiders' offense mustered just 189 yards of total offense against a Carolina Panthers' defense that ranks in the bottom-five of the NFL. That's Oakland's lowest total offensive output since November 21, 2010, when the Raiders managed just 182 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It should be noted that at the time the Steelers had a top-five defense.
Leinhart was pressured on only 10 of his 33 drop backs. And, yet, he still managed to play terribly. On plays in which he faced no pressure, Leinhart was 10 of 23 for 72 yards and an interception. That's 3.1 yards per attempt. That's also outrageously bad. If Pryor manages to play worse, I'd be surprised.
Pryor's matchup is as favorable as Leinhart's was against Carolina. He will have to contend with a San Diego pass defense that Pro Football Focus the bottom five. If Pryor is unable to take advantage of the Chargers' porous secondary with his arm, he should at least be able to utilize his leg to keep the Raiders from Leinhartian ineptitude. Or, at least, we should hope so.

Faced with rising gap between revenue and expenditure, the government is likely to borrow an additional Rs 20,000 crore towards February-March to finance its fiscal deficit for 2012-13.
"Any additional borrowing will be done towards February-March," a senior Finance Ministry official told PTI.
The official further said that the government is currently borrowing Rs 20,000 crore every week from the markets.
"Additional borrowing of Rs 20,000 crore can any way be done in one week. So, the timing will be decided towards the end of the fiscal after assessing the exact requirement," the official added.
Budget 2012-13 pegged fiscal deficit at 5.1 per cent of GDP. However, in view of lower than expected revenue realistion and increased subsidy outgo, the Finance Ministry is expecting the fiscal deficit to go up to 5.3 per cent during the current fiscal.
The official further said that cut in expenditure was subsumed at the time of preparation of budget and hence an increase in fiscal deficit would necessitate further borrowing.
In order to finance the 5.1 per cent deficit, the government had planned to borrow Rs 5.7 lakh crore. A higher fiscal deficit of 5.3 per cent translates into market borrowing of over Rs 5.9 lakh crore.
In the first half (April-September) of 2012-13, the fiscal deficit rose to 3.37 lakh crore which was 65.6 per cent of the budget estimate.
Fiscal deficit scenario worsened for government on account of lower tax realisation and poor response to disinvestment programme.
With seven months of fiscal already over, the government is yet to launch stake sale in any PSU.
The finance ministry aims to raise Rs 30,000 crore by way of disinvestment in the current fiscal.

SEATTLE - Jieun Jacobs entered the Pac-10 Indoor Tournament with a lot to prove after dropping out of the national rankings, due to an injury-plagued fall tournament season. But she leaves the tournament with new-found confidence after reaching the finals in singles and doubles action - winning the Flight II singles title.
Jacobs went the distance, playing 11 of the possible twelve sets in the four round tournament. After defeating Jude DeVera of ASU, Jacobs faced the Flight's No. 1 seed Saskia Nauenberg of Washington, handling her in come-from-behind fashion (4-6, 6-3, 6-2). In the semifinal, Jacobs defeated another Washington athlete in Dinka Hadzic in another come-from-behind effort (3-6, 7-6, 6-3). In the final, Jacobs finished a Washington sweep by upending her third Husky in a row, Erin Hoe, to capture the Flight II title (7-5, 6-3).
In doubles, Jacobs teamed with Raquel Kops-Jones, advancing to the Flight I Doubles Final. There they faced off against the All-American doubles team of Claire Carter and Dea Sumantri of Washington. In a hard-fought match the Washington pair was able to squeak out a (9-7) victory over Jacobs and Kops-Jones.
Senior Catherine Lynch was able to turn things around after a disappointing first-round loss to Diane Hollands of Arizona (6-1, 6-2). Lynch put together back to back strong performances to reach the consolation final, where she faced familiar foe Lauren Barnikow of Stanford, only to fall (6-1 6-3).
Newcomer, Monica Wiesener was a bright spot for the Bears winning her first three collegiate matches, reaching the Flight IV Finals. There she pushed the Flight's No. 1 seed, Davina Mendiburu of Oregon, to the limit, but in the end fell (2-6,6-1,6-4).
The Bears have 11 days off before opening up the dual-match portion of their schedule against Sacramento State, Jan. 30 at 1:30 p.m., at the Hellman Tennis Complex in Berkeley.

The first 5 minutes of a sales call if not planned properly can result in your quickly losing any chance at new business. Much happens during this time when the prospect tries to take control of the meeting and you fail to set the agenda and emotionally connect to the prospect. What you say and do does makes a difference especially on the subconscious level.

Glitter Mascara - Dewdrops On My Lashes
From never writing about face paint to two back-to-back posts on the subject. In one day!
Gervy the make-up maniac/addict will be pleased. I think her secret mission is to slowly work me (and other sans-make-up people, friends or not) into wearing what she would call "flaw correctors" again.
On our shopping date on Saturday, I told her that lately, I've been feeling a real need for glitter mascara. In silver. And I don't even wear regular mascara. It must be a trickle-down effect from the previous need for coloured mascara from a few months ago that wasn't met or acted upon and has since been forgotten. Bright colours reminiscent of those that I used to buy from Shu Uemura when I was a teenager, like tangerine, hot pink, electric blue, lime green...
When she heard of my eye glitter-lust, I could feel the joy reverberating through her whole being, like a proud owner who's just taught her puppy a new trick, but she played it cool and kept her elation to herself, like the same pet owner would, not wanting to seem too pushy. Baby steps...baby steps, she must have thought and chanelled her energy into finding me one, stopping at every beauty counter in the stores.
Of course we didn't find any - Sod's Law, Murphy's Law, the Unspeakable Law...whatever you want to call it. The closest thing we found was a glitter eyeliner which I tried on my lashes to which Gervy said, "Oooh, looks like you've got raindrops on your eyelashes!". I liked that description. It conjured up a very pretty picture in my head. Hence the post title (which I've tweaked a little - "dewy eyes" vs "rainy eyes"?) and a more urgent need to find some.
The next day, I went to the only place in Sydney that was remotely similar to the trashy make-up heaven, Sasa, that we have in Singapore - a tiny Japanese cosmetic shop in Chinatown. Pay dirt! I grabbed the only silver one left.
Verdict: I had more glittery bits all over my face than on my lashes where they were meant to be. Not good for a contact lens wearer.
But fear not, an order has been placed with Poochie, the "personal shopper" in Singapore. Another one, hopefully one packed with more staying power and larger silver squares, is on its way. And I will be on mine to mirror ball eyes.

OMG, you are on to me!!!
I can't believe you saw through my assumed laid-back attitude to you getting the glitter mascara to the real truth of me lusting for another makeover. I am wery impressed by your mind-reading skills.
This post has had me chuckling all evening, even through a super-dramatic episode of House. xxx

If I ever decide to go all the way with make-up one day, you'll get to brush on the first stroke of eyeshadow. Wruff! Wruff!
It was the season finale. Boo to no hottie House for a while. Did you watch "Life" after? xxx

Thank you LG, my sweet puppydog (usually I only call the mister that but I make an exception for you).
You upset me by suggesting that the most recent ep of House was the season finale. It was so bloody good I thought you must be right, but according this site there are still at least a couple more to go: http://housewiki.fox.com/page/House+Season+5
Have taped Life from last week but watched the week before and I think I will persist with it... there is something about the ginge Damian Lewis, although in no way is he as hot as House.

Haha! Funny how the boys in our lives are both dogs!
Not the season finale?! But that's what Channel 10 said last night. Well, woohoo then!
Charlie Crews is a different kind of hot. And I never find ginger men hot.

- Top Bird said...
Ooooh, I like the sound of the glittery eyeliner - very pretty.
Man, you've been busy churning out the blog posts of late. I'm just catching up now! xx

If only I can get the glitter to stay put! On my lashes. Not everywhere else!

Market Veteran Doug Block Goes "Home" in New Doc
Anthony Kaufman
If you're lost at this year's IFFM, find Doug Block. He's been
navigating these avenues since 1987. He even made a documentary about
independent filmmaking and the IFFM in 1992, called "The Heck with
Hollywood!" If any filmmaker is an expert at the machinations of the
IFFM, it's Block, a self-described "wizened veteran of the market wars."
Although Block is ready to dole out some advice to novice marketeers,
he's busy taking his own best knowledge to task. "The first piece of
advice I'd give is too late, which is work really hard on your catalogue
description. Because in the end, that's what's going to sell your film
the best." Block has been busily working for the past few weeks on his
own description for "Home Page," which he calls "a parallel
coming-of-age story" that follows the growth of himself, a few Internet
gurus and the World Wide Web itself.
Two years ago, he went to market with "Home Page," participating in the
inaugural year of the No Borders section where one-on-one meetings are
arranged between financiers and works-in-progress. Block spent a lot of
time on a 15-minute sample version, which paid off with attention from
the Village Voice's Amy Taubin and those at indieWIRE, but more
importantly, Cinemax, with whom he started negotiations immediately
after the market. It also lead to the participation of Jane Weiner,
Block's producing partner, who took the film to her contacts at German
TV broadcaster ZDF. Pre-sales to both ZDF/Arte and Cinemax were
eventually finalized and Block finished the 115-minute version "Home
Page" just a few weeks before this year's IFFM.
Block now wants theatrical distribution. As a non-fiction filmmaker,
Block contends, "I'm looking for the same distributors that a fictional
film would look for. I don't think there's any difference. It tells a
story. It's got a narrative that evolves. It's a coming-of-age story,
so there's no reason why a distributor of fiction films would market it
any differently."
But the pre-sales to ZDF and Cinemax create some complications in
attaining that much coveted domestic theatrical release. Block's 3-year
deal with ZDF/Arte is a relatively small licensing period compared to
the usual 7 year term, but Block knows that U.S. distributors don't make
much money in a US theatrical release. Therefore, notes Block, "they
want the rights to the film in all the other territories. My fear is
that if we've pre-sold too many European television markets, that [US
distribs] will be less inclined to pick it up here, if they're on the
fence. We also have US pay-cable pre-sold [from Cinemax] so that's yet
another territory."
Block's answer to weary distribs is two-fold, the first
business-related, the second personal. 1.) Copacetic Pictures, Block's
company, is temporarily holding on their overseas sales offers until
they have a domestic distributor to include in on these sales. And 2.)
He says, "I feel like this is a film that can make money on its US
theatrical distribution, from the interest we've gotten so far, from the
few screenings that we've had so far, it's really clear there is an
audience excited about the subject."
Still, the veteran Block remains realistic about the odds at the IFFM.
Offering some perspective on the lack of sales at the market, he says,
"I haven't heard of many films that have come out of the market with a
deal. It's coming right after Toronto where a lot of deal-making goes
on. And it's well before Sundance where more deal-making goes on. So,
I don't think buyers or the bigger distributors look at the IFFM as a
place where they can pick up these hot, commercial prospects. I think
they look at it more as a place where there's some diamonds in the
rough. It's their job to discover diamonds in the rough or not let them
slip through the cracks. They don't want to be the ones to let the next
'Brother's McMullen' slip through their hands."
Clearly, Block hopes that "Home Page" will be this year's diamond. And
the fact that it is a documentary only makes Block more optimistic. "I
think it's a really exciting time for documentaries. The audiences are
starting to catch up with it," he says. "It seems like now it's gone to
another level. You read more about them now. I am certainly more aware
of them now. For films like 'The Cruise' and 'Hands on a Hardbody' to
get out there the way they have is great. I certainly hope 'Home Page'
can take advantage of that."
"But it's also a progression of the other films I've worked on," adds
Block. Producer on the highly acclaimed Sundance winner, "Silverlake
Life" which Block says "may be the first film shot on a camcorder to get
a theatrical wide release" and "Jupiter's Wife" which "was the first
small, format video movie released on 35," Block certainly has a good
track record going for him.
"Home Page," like the other docs mentioned, was produced for relatively
little cash. Shot on a high end consumer Hi-8 Sony VX-3 camcorder for a
few thousand dollars, Block considers the way he made his film "the
equivalent of using a laptop computer." He continues, "I can shoot as a
one man band. I don't have the added expense of hiring a crew or even a
sound person. So, it's as flexible as can be. I know I got scenes I
would never get, even with just one other person on the crew."
The strongest moments in "Home Page" come from the closeness provided by
Block's one man crew. For instance, when Block's wife is seen in
close-up yearning for him return to the family. Or a man is confronted
about his feelings towards a wife who committed adultery and wrote about
it on her webpage. Or a web designer speaks about the love of his life
who was killed in a car crash. These are the kinds of intimate
instances that a large film crew could never capture. Block explains,
"You're constantly working as a documentary filmmaker to make people
feel comfortable with a camera pointed at them. And if they have a big
camera and some extra people around, you can't help but be
self-conscious. But if you're just one guy with a camcorder, just
hanging around, it just puts everything in a different context and you
get far more interesting stuff."
Block edited "Home Page" for over a year and a half and wrote much of it
while in the editing room, weaving together a narrative out of the many
stories. The film is a labor of love. And every frame appears to mean
something to him and his story. When asked what he would do if a
distributor told him to cut more out of the film, Block answered
emphatically, "The one thing you get as an independent is you get to
make your movie. You don't make money. It takes forever. It's hell on
your home life. The one thing you're left with is your film. So," Block
warns, "don't sell out your vision of the film."
["Home Page" plays on Wed, 23rd at 11 am, at the Angelika Film Center. A
second screening, open to the public, will be on Fri, 25th at 2:15pm at
the Tribeca Screening Room.]

Thirteen members of Christ Lutheran Church, Fleetwood, Pa., were in Haiti to volunteer at an orphanage, paint a school chapel and food pantry, and distribute food.
The earthquake quickly changed that focus, said Cheryl F. Meinschein. The pastor of Christ said she felt blessed that she and members all returned safely to the U.S., but she struggles with the horror that so many, particularly children, didn't.
"Where do you go with that?" she asked. "If it was the will of God for us to be safe, then how do I answer the question, 'What about everyone else?' "
