Top iPad mini Tips
Set a volume limit on your iPad mini
This one might seem silly at first glance, but if you've got little ones using your iPad mini, it makes all the sense in the world to set a volume limit. Not only will it save their tiny tender ears from damage, it will help spare you some sanity, as well. To set a volume limit, go to the Settings menu and scroll down until you see the orange Music icon. Once there, look for "Volume limit," now simply set it to your preference.
Transform your iPad mini into a Kindle
Yep, you read that correctly. You can easily transform your iPad mini into a Kindle by simply downloading Amazon's Kindle app for iOS from the App Store. It works like a charm and offers the same benefits as the actual device. Even better, it will sync up across all your devices so you can still pick up from where you left off whether you're on your iPad mini or an Android-based device.
Turn off keyboard sounds
You know exactly what sound we're talking about. Click. Click. Click. The incessant ticking of keys is enough to make you want to cause actual damage to your beloved iPad mini. Seriously, whose brilliant idea was it to create a keyboard clicking sound effect on touch screen device? Make it stop. Thankfully, you can easily turn it off by going to Settings > Sound. Look for the Keyboard Clicks option located near the bottom of the list.
Turn off "Sent from my iPad" signature
Perhaps one of the most tedious things about constantly using your iPad mini for back and forth messages is that pesky little "Sent from my iPad" notice that always defaults below your email signature. Thankfully, it's a cinch to turn off. You can deactivate the "Sent from my iPad" message right in Settings, or simply tap the Signature option to delete or change the message.
How to Sync Facebook contacts and events with your iPad mini
It might sound complicated, but it's actually one of the easiest things you can do with your iPad mini. First, make sure you're signed in to your Facebook account. Next, go to Settings and you should see an option to import contact details, birthdays and events Voila, now you can sit back, relax and receive all of your vital Facebook updates straight from your iPad mini.
How to check the speed of your iPad Mini's internet connection
If you're finding your internet connection a little sluggish on the iPad Mini, you can check it and get a report of the results before you complain to your internet provider.
To monitor your internet speed, download and install the Speedtest.net application from the App Store.
Wait while the app finds the closest server to you and tap on begin test.
To take a screenshot of the result, hold down the power button and home key at the same time.

Taking a screen shot can be useful even if you're not a blogger. To do this on the iPad mini, simply hold the power button and home button and a screen shot will be saved to your camera gallery.

How to quickly find content on the iPad mini
If you're looking for an app, email or contact, you can do it very quickly on the iPad mini. From your initial home screen, swipe to the left and the Search iPad bar will come up. If your query doesn't match anything on your tablet, you'll be able to search the Web from here.

How to set up Facebook, Twitter on the iPad mini
The iPad mini is powered by iOS 6 and one of the cool new features about it is built-in Facebook access.

To set this up, go into your Settings, click on the Twitter or Facebook icons and then input your login information.

Want to use your voice to dictate your text? Whenever you see the keyboard, simply tap the microphone button near the space bar and gab away. Be sure to doublecheck the results, though.
How to manage your notifications on the iPad mini
The Notification Center is a great way to keep up to date with your apps but some can get annoying. To remove or mute which apps can get in your Notification Center, go into Settings, tap on the Notificatiions button and then tap on each app to determine if it can go in Notification Center, how many notifications it can send, the Alert Style it can use, if it can use a Badge App Icon, if it can make sounds and if it will be present in your Lock Screen.

You may have some sensitive data on your iPad mini, so go ahead and put a passcode on it. To do this, go into Settings, tap Passcode Lock and then Turn Passcode On. You'll be able to toggle Siri access when locked and even have the option to erase all data on the iPad mini after 10 unsuccessful attemps.
How to find your iPad mini
Like with other iOS devices, a lost or stolen iPad mini can be tracked down. When you're first setting up the iPad mini, enable Find My iPad. This doesn't guarantee that you'll get it back because your device will have to be on Wi-Fi but if you do lose your iPad mini, go to your iCloud account online and you may be able to find it.
How to set restrictions on the iPad mini
The iPad mini lets you set restrictions on your apps and Siri and this could come in handy if you hand your device to kids or other people often. This will let you do things like require a password to install new apps or accessing the camera. Go into Settings, tap General and then tap Restrictions. Turn this on, input a passcode and then set which apps you want to restrict.
How to control location services on the iPad mini
Using location services can be great for things like Maps and other apps but not all of us want to broadcast where we are. Luckily, you can control this on your iPad mini. Go into Settings, tap on Privacy and then hit Location Services. You can turn Location Services off entirely or just toggle which apps can access your location. Additionally, the arrow icons will give you a better idea of how apps are using your location.
How to set Do Not Disturb on the iPad mini
One cool new feature of iOS 6 is the option to set up a Do Not Disturb function on your iPad mini. Sometimes, you just want to play Angry Birds Space without being annoyed by email notifications or messages. To turn this on, go into your Settings and tap the Do Not Disturb icon.
How to sync your iPad mini
The iPad mini is pretty simple to sync with iTunes, as you simply plug in the tablet to your computer and then launch iTunes. Once you're in the iTunes interface, you can even enable Wi-Fi Syncing with your iPad mini and you won't have to plug it in again.
How to reset your iPad mini
If you're selling your iPad mini already or giving it to someone for a while, make sure you delete all the data on there. You can do this by going into Settings, tapping General, and then scrolling down to Reset. From here you have these options: Reset All Settings, Erase All Content and Settings, Reset Network Settings, Reset Keyboard Dictionary, Reset Home Screen Layout, Reset Location & Privacy.
How to bring up recent apps, kill apps on the iPad mini
You don't have to go to the home screen every time you want to switch apps, just simply double tap the home button and the apps will pop up from the bottom. Tap on the app you want to run next.
You don't really have to stop apps from running in iOS but if you want to, bring up the app-switching tray, long press on an app and then hit the red minus sign which appears.
How to download and update apps on the iPad mini
This one's pretty simple: Use the App Store. Go into the App Store icon to discover some new apps. If you have an app which needs updating, you'll see a badge on the bottom right on the Updates tab. You can update the apps individually or you can hit the Update All button at the upper left corner.
How to pause app downloads on the iPad mini
Your apps will start to download on the home screen and you'll get a progress bar underneath it. Sometimes, you may want to pause one app from downloading to let another download first (a large game may be a good example of this). To pause an app download, simply tap on the app icon and it will pause. To resume the download, tap on it again.
How to create app folders on the iPad mini
You can organize your apps into groups fairly easily on the iPad mini. Grab an app with your finger and drag it on another app and a folder will be created. You can rename it too.
Tip: If you're like me, you change your home screen a lot from the default and it's tough to do it one app at a time. Figure out which apps you want on your main home screen, put them in a folder, drag that folder into the status bar at the bottom and then move that app folder onto your main home screen.
How to change your main app tray apps on the iPad mini
The iPad mini lets you put six apps on the bottom tray and you don't have to stick with the default ones. To change these apps, long press on the app you want in the tray, the apps will start jiggling and you can then drag that app into the main bar.
How to get more camera shooting options on the iPad mini
The iPad mini packs a respectable 5-megapixel iSight camera and the portable size means it's not that ridiculous to take shots with it. Launch your camera app and then click on Options for the ability to shoot with Grids.
How to edit your photos on the iPad mini
Once you've taken your photos, you can edit them on the device. Go into your Camera Roll, tap on a photo and then hit Edit. From here, you'll be able to Rotate, Enhance, Red-Eye and Crop. You can always use apps like iPhoto, BeFunky, Instagram, Camera+ and more to enhance your photos.
How to be a better photographer on the iPad mini
Of course, this one's easier said than done but we got your back. Marc has been writing a series on Smartphone Photography and many of these can be used with the iPad mini camera.
How to jailbreak your iPad mini
The iPad mini is pretty great but I know some of you just want more out of it. For example, you can't put widgets on it. If you jailbreak your iPad mini, you'll get a host of new features. Be aware that this comes with a lot of risks though.
How to update your iPad mini's software
Apple is never done improving its iOS software and it will be pushing out software update for the iPad mini for years to come. To check for updates, go into Settings, tap on Software Update and it will see if there's something new to download. You can download over the air or you can download to your computer and then transfer via a Lightning cable.
How to use four and five finger gestures on the iPad mini
One trick about the iPad mini is that it can use four and five finger gestures. Pinch with your whole hand and you'll go back to the home screen. Swipe with four or more finger upward and the app tray will pop up. You can also swipe between apps by going left and right with four or five fingers.
If you dont' want these available, go into Settings, tap General and then slide Multitasking Gestures to Off.
How to download and install iOS on the iPad mini
Apple's iOS software is available and it beefs up Siri, makes iTunes Match more usable and offers various overall improvements. You're definitely going to want iOS on your iPad mini, so follow this guide to help you get the latest software on your Apple tablet.
You can actually update your iPad mini to newest iOS in two ways: with or without wires. We'll walk you through both ways.
To update your iPad mini to a new iOS over the air, go into your Settings, tap on Software Update and then click on the Download and Install option. Once you've agreed to the Terms and Conditions, the iOS 6.1 update will start to download.

If you prefer using your computer to install iOS on your iPad mini, then you simply need to connect it to your Mac or PC and then fire up iTunes. Once it recognizes your iPad mini, click on the iPad mini icon and then hit Summary.
From there, you can click on Check for Updates and iTunes will download and install iOS 6.1 on your tablet. Follow the onscreen instructions from there and you're off and running with the latest version of iOS.

How to make the iPad Mini's battery life last longer
As you probably already know, the iPad mini is an amazing tablet. With an A5 CPU and a small unibody frame, the mini is an extremely powerful, yet light alternative to most other small tablets on the market. However, with such power comes a price: reduced battery life. With the all-new iPad mini, the most you can expect is about 11 to 13 hours of battery on heavy usage.So, is there anything that can be done to get better battery life on your iPad mini? Yes, of course, you just need to be diligent. Read on, and we will share some great tips to improve your iPad mini's daily battery life and make the tablet last a lot longer.
Dim your iPad mini's screen:
This is going to sound nuts, but it's not necessary to set your iPad mini's screen to 100 percent brightness. I love my tablet at around 75 percent, which is probably too high, but I just like a bright screen. For most tablet owners, though, you should keep the screen at half or even lower if possible. The screen really does drain the most of the battery.
Turn off push notifications:
Unfortunately, push notifications use a lot of battery life, especially when you're on the go. Obviously it depends on how many emails or IM messages you usually receive, but if you get a lot, switching off push is probably worth it. I recommend doing it when your iPad mini is not in use.
Switch off networks, including Wi-Fi, location, and 4G LTE:
Networks and services for whatever reason seem to use a lot of juice on the iPad mini, so switching them off will make a huge difference in regards to battery. Turning off the location services and Bluetooth connectivity when not in use is key, as is switching off Wi-Fi when you're not in range. If you plan on buying a 4G LTE iPad mini from Verizon or AT&T, you should also make sure to shut that down when you're not using it.
Switch email syncing to manual fetch:
This is a big one and extremely important. Set your email to manual fetching to extend your iPad mini's battery life. This works wonders as background e-mail syncing usually sucks down the most juice.
Turn off location services for apps:
Every app is given permission to use location data, even apps that don't really need it. Facebook and Twitter, for example, have access to your location. Do they need it? Probably not. Anyway, choosing which ones need it and which ones don't can save you a lot of battery life. You can choose which apps have access to your location in the Location Services section of the Settings app.
Keep your iPad mini up to date:
Make sure to always keep your iPad mini up to date. Software problems can cause issues with the battery and fixes are very important. To update the software on your device go to Settings, then General and then Software Updates. That's it!

Pretty excited for our students (and maybe yours if you don't live too far away)to participate in a 2-day Student Worship Conference here at Saddleback Church. Here's a little bit from the website that just launched this week:
To be quite honest, this conference is probably similar to other worship conferences, however, this is geared specifically to students to truly build them and see a bigger picture of what it means to lead people to the throne of GOD. Even more, this Student Worship Conference is intended to help equip students with the basics of what worship is and what it means to be a musician and/or a vocalist in ministry. Many adults volunteers, youth pastors, worship leaders or pastors assume students are to already know what they need to know when it comes to leading worship through music. WRONG!!! No student knows what they are doing. For the most part, most adults do not even know what they are doing. We need to teach all students to become worship pastors and not just worship leaders, because anyone can lead worship (we will explain that more at the conference).
There will be lots of special guests, student bands and fun here at the Refinery at Saddleback. Get more details here, hope you will join us!

If you talked with Hale Furey three years ago as a freshman, he gave you the impression that he would rather golf at Corona del Mar High.
In the fall of that year, when he ran cross-country, Furey talked golf. When he played basketball in the winter, Furey continued to chat about golf. During the spring, when Furey competed in track and field, golf remained his favorite topic.
At one point, Bill Sumner, the cross-country and track and field coach at CdM, pulled Furey aside in the spring of his ninth-grade year.
"Why you here?" Sumner said. "Hale, you belong in golf. I'd love to have you on my track team. You'll probably run in college if you stayed on my track team, but you're a golfer. You breathe golf. You talk [golf]. Go play golf."
Sumner hated sending one of his best distance runners away. As a freshman, Furey ran the mile in 4 minutes, 47 seconds.
The following year, Furey left all the running, on dirt, on the court, and on the track, behind for a slower-paced sport at CdM. On a golf course, Furey still found a way to break away from the pack, especially in his senior year.
Keeping up with Furey during last week's Pacific Coast League individual championships proved to be tough. Furey claimed the title for the first time, firing a two-day total of three-under-par 139.
Furey won the event at San Juan Hills Golf Club in San Juan Capistrano by five strokes. Shooting a five-under 66 in the first round, his first bogey-free round of his career, and collecting five birdies gave Furey a fast start. The next day, Furey went out and avoided a bogey for the first 12 holes, producing three birdies, and finished with a two-over-par 73, becoming the first of seven golfers from the league to qualify for the CIF Southern Section Southern Individual Regional.
The windy conditions at the next tournament at Skylinks Golf Course in Long Beach caught Furey by surprise on Monday. The gusts affected Furey's putting, costing him a chance to move on to the next tournament. Furey, who shot six-over-par 78, missed the cut by one stroke.
The season isn't over for Furey. He's preparing with CdM for Monday's CIF Southern Section South Coast Team Divisional at Talega Golf Club in San Clemente. The Sea Kings aim to win the divisional for the third straight season, the first involved Furey a couple of years ago.
Last season, Furey spent it away from the team. He had a lot going on as a junior, an academic load with five AP courses and a traveling schedule with a dozen national golf tournaments to compete in to gain exposure. Mike Starkweather, CdM's golf coach, respected the decision. It paid off for Furey, on the course and in the classroom. In June, Junior Golf Scoreboard ranked Furey No. 32 in the country for the Class of 2014. Furey's best academic year turned out to be as a junior, when he boasted a 4.9 grade-point average.
Last week, Furey said he found out that he's one of seven valedictorians at CdM, where he has a 4.457 cumulative GPA that almost mirrors his time in running the mile as a freshman. Sumner was right, golf is Furey's future. Furey is bound for Harvard. His father, James, who went to Princeton and played golf, likes to joke that Harvard is enemy territory.
Family comes first in the Furey home. There is another Furey on the CdM team, Chase Furey, who's a freshman. The brothers usually play in the same group during league matches and push each other.
"I would hate to be living in their house," Starkweather said of the siblings, adding that the two have earned medalist honors five times each. "They're about as competitive as you can get."
The younger Chase was unable to make the league finals because he couldn't afford to miss school for two days. Just like the older brother, Chase is committed to school. Scores on a test are more important than the ones on a scorecard.
Unlike Hale, Chase began to golf during his first year at CdM. Hale said it's scary how good Chase will be, as he's already ranked No. 11 in the nation for freshmen.
"Chase is all into golf," said Hale, before looking back to when he talked with Sumner and decided to focus on golf after his freshman year. "Coach Sumner told me, 'If it was anyone else, I would say you're crazy for dropping running. You ran a 4:47 mile, but I fully support you because golf is your passion.' He got behind me. He has given me great guidance."

oh Amber Diamond,how i love thee! after trying MAC Soft & Gentle MSF,BB Copper Diamond shimmerbrick,cream & liquid highlighters.. i love this the best. after experimenting with this for more than a month, this is def. my HG highlighter atm. man, this stuff made me GLOW. =)
Pros: love this stuff because it's glowy, highlights your cheekbones awesomely,not OTT shimmer like *cough* BB shimmerbrick *cough*
good staying power & not as fragile as MAC MSF. classy packaging & you get lots of products in the compact (10g).. the powder is very finely milled & def. very blendable. the colors work wonderfully together.
one more thing is that the colors are not flat,they have more dimension to it not like other highlighters i have tried.
Cons: the price! expensive imo but worth it.. wish it's cheaper tho..
Colors: there are 5 stripes in Amber Diamond. starting from the left is shimmery ivory (like NARS Albatross), champagne (like MAC Soft & Gentle), tan, bronze & peach. love all the colors! swirled together,it produce a lovely gold w/ champagne or bronze tones highlight hue. *swoon*
Packaging: in a classy midnight blue rectangle compact with 'Dior' written in front of it. i don't think this is safe to bring for travelling tho coz it's fragile..
i wear this very often as it suits my complexion very well. not OTT yet you can see it's glowing naturally on the face. this is a staple in my m/u collec. this is awesome to pair with any blushes & suits all kinds of looks.now, i'll hunt for the Dior Copper Diamond...
Repurchase: yep! ♥

The Wright Move?
David Wright will make his Major League debut tonight for the Mets against the Expos. This comes in the wake of Mike Piazza's wrist injury but I hope that wasn't the reason for the call up. I'd like to think that this was a planned date based on the schedule and level of competition and how Wright was progressing at AAA. I mean, it can't be a coincidence that they're bringing him in between Florida and Atlanta for a series against the Expos. The idea being to bring him in against lower level competition at home to break him in easy.
Ty Wigginton will be moved to first base until Piazza is ready to return and then he'll be relegated to the bench or traded. He'd probably go straight to the bench in favor of Todd Zeile at first base were it not for the fact that they've been trying to trade him.
Anyway, the move brings up a big question. How exactly will the roster be managed in the meantime? I mean if Piazza is not put on the DL (which is what it looks like right now) then someone will need to be sent down or designated for assignment. With Karim Garcia already having been traded Wright cannot take his roster spot (it's already been taken by Mike DeJean). How about Jason Phillips? Considering how he's been hitting this year he would be a logical choice but then you could get caught short at catcher if something should happen to Vance Wilson while Piazza is hurt. So who goes? I don't know. It'll be interesting to see what Duquette and company decide to do.
Regardless of how the roster shuffling end up the reality is that Wright is finally here so I'll end this post with a word of caution. David Wright is here to learn how to play at the Major League level. Although he has done very well at all levels of professional baseball before today you can't put too much pressure on him. Don't over analyze every move. Don't second guess every mistake. Don't put him under too strong a microscope. Otherwise we could end up with another Gregg jeffries on our hands.

(Guest Blog- Sandra Miniutti, Vice President, Marketing, Charity Navigator)
I used to celebrate April Fool's Day, with a slew of other volunteers, by participating in the "Don't Be a Fool, Do Breast Self-Examinations" awareness campaign. As far as I know, this program, designed to encourage women to perform monthly breast cancer self-exams, no longer exists. But I was thinking it about it last week when I came across a news item about one of my pet peeves --- the proliferation of breast cancer charities.
With virtually no barriers to entry, the nonprofit marketplace has ballooned to over 1 million organizations. A search for breast cancer charities yields more than 1,000 entities. Thus there are many breast cancer charities offering similar or duplicative programs. And, even if each of those charities spends just 25% of its budget on overhead and fundraising, I would argue that more progress could be made towards treatments and a cure (spending on programs) if there were less organizations (less spending on admin and fundraising).
More than 50 charities offering breast cancer related services have come together to address this issue. They've formed the Breast Health Collaborative of Texas with the commendable goal to reduce duplicative and less effective programs and to find ways to collaborate on programs and fundraising to improve access to breast health care for low-income and uninsured women. Getting these nonprofits to drop their competitive stance and work together is no small task. But they already report some programmatic success and have captured the attention of at least one funder, the 4-star Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
On this year's April Fool's Day, I hope you'll agree that it is encouraging to know that some breast cancer charities have put the "Don't Be a Fool" message to into practice and are striving for better efficiencies and service.

Don't Be A Fool
Posted by Sandra Miniutti at 9:23 AM

I, hopefully a future non-profit professional, have observed this phenomenon for years. People want to make a difference, so the start a new organization to compete for funds with organizations of the same cause, rather than start an initiative to work within an already existing entity. I agree entirely with Ms. Miniutti and think the non-profit sector in general would benefit with more people willing to humble themselves and work for someone else, rather than heading their own organization.

The winter of 2010 has broken a number of records. Beef cows on most farms have probably been affected to a significant degree by the winter. The seventy days of snow cover that we experienced in Blacksburg have altered cow diets for the worse while unusually cold temperatures and wind chills have markedly increased nutrient requirements.
A review of what research and experience has taught us about reproductive performance helps us predict and hopefully take steps to remedy the effects of this situation on the upcoming breeding season. Otherwise open cows and later calves may have a profound effect on future profits.
The number of cows that get pregnant during a calving season is a function of three major factors:
1. The number of cows that are cycling (coming into heat) at any point in the breeding season.
2. The fertility of the cows, that is, the likelihood that they get pregnant each time they come into heat.
3. The fertility of the male, whether in the form of a bull breeding or an artificial insemination.
Years of research have helped to show the major factors that influence each of these main items. Here are the generally agreed on contributors:
Estrous cycling:
* Days since calving
* Body condition score at calving
* The nursing of the calf
* Exposure to a bull
* Age of the cow
* The influence of hormones
Cow conception rates:
* Days since calving
* Whether cows are gaining or losing weight
* Heat stress, especially as influenced by fescue grazing
Bull fertility:
* Normal sperm cells
* Scrotal circumference
* Libido
* Body condition
* Age and dominance
So what's different this season than most years? Cows lost more weight in the winter and therefore calving at lower body condition scores than usual. That means that they will tend to be slower to cycle than usual. If the average cow begins cycling twenty-one days later that results in about 15% more open cows in a 65-day breeding season.
A wise producer can use the other knowledge we have of the factors that determine outcomes of beef reproduction to overcome this drawback. Here are some procedures that can be done to increase the odds that cows will become pregnant efficiently.
1. Do everything possible to get cows in a gaining situation as early in the spring as possible. Judicious use of fertilizer on some pastures might pay premiums in pregnant cows.
2. Don't stop feeding cows until there is plenty of grass to meet nutritional needs.
3. Take extra care of young and old cows.
4. Consider the use of teaser bulls with cows before actual breeding begins. Bull exposure has been shown to start cows cycling as much as thirty days earlier.
5. Removing calves from cows for 48 hours at the beginning of the calving season or as part of a synchronization program has been documented to increase the number of their dams that begin cycling.
6. If you are doing synchronization for artificial insemination, consider using a system that adds progesterone in the program as progesterone treatment has been shown to increase the number of cows that are cycling.
7. Manage pastures and grazing to minimize the effects of fescue toxicity. Take steps now to get clover into pastures and manage grazing so that cows are not eating headed out fescue while being bred.
8. Perform Bull Breeding Soundness examinations on all bulls before the breeding season. Then watch bulls carefully during the season to be sure they are performing well.
Having a successful breeding season this year will require that typical management be improved in many operations. Utilizing some of the above special techniques, even if they are not necessary in most breeding situations, may pay real dividends this season.

I bought this on a whim and instantly fell in love with it. At first when I put it on I wasn't sure how the smell would work out, but after 20 minutes of having it on, after washing my hands and everything, the scent was still gorgeous and settled in amazingly with my skin. It is long-lasting, which is usually an issue for me with other perfumes, it smells phenomenal, and makes me feel sexy! Try it if you like woodsy, sweet scents!

Aug. 23-25: Lord Dundas is nice enough to have us over as guests as Aldo rests up. He, his wife, and his staff are absolutely wonderful people (for white devils). Aldo spends the time reflecting on the wreck his life is turning into (seriously, all calamity we find seems hell-bent on getting Aldo). Sergei is working out some new facet of his magic by staring at things very intently. And Willy?
SIGH Willy…
It seems that finding Dundas's artifacts is on his menu of 'things to do.' Nevermind this man and his family probably saved our lives at the best, and gave us immense advantage in our hunting at the least. Willy seems incapable of rationality when it comes to these things. He searches until he finds a secret passage (which all British houses over a certain age and size are evidently required by law to have installed) and convinces Sergei to open for him. The two of them (Sergei does not let folks wander off alone) commence to seriously invade some privacy, finding a private study upstairs and a Templar vault locked by magical sigils below. They wisely decide to leave the vault alone and head back up.
If Willy's curiosity keeps up at this rate, he is going to get someone killed (my bet is Aldo).
After dinner, Lord Dundas invites us to see his vault. I mentally prepare to kill everything, ever ('fattened calf' scenarios flash through my mind), but keep it to myself. I am proven pleasantly paranoid. The room is dedicated to Mithras, a mystery cult from the Roman times. It impresses Willy to no end, as does Dundas's collection. He has the gladius that I used to kill ghosts with, an ancient Templar shield of unknown origins, a Templar breastplate, and a banner depicting several of the prominent knightly orders of the 1st Crusade (from around 1098). He is proud of this collection, as well he should be.
Aug. 26th: We take our leave of the Dundas's, with Lord Dundas mentioning that we can rely on his meeting with our representatives to discuss possible sponsorship of the Munster House. This is very interested, especially as he personally knows Bannerman of the other CH in London, knows of our hard times, and is still choosing to back our play. Whether he truly believes in our mission or just likes to poke Bannerman matters little to me; we will take his money and support with a smile.
We get back to London, snag a few meat-on-sticks for the walk home, and head to the CH. Poole is transcribing some ancient tome while Jenny works on reading lessons. I like having her around; children make a house feel more like a home. At dinner, Patti mentions that she may have us a case for our Agency. We are to meet with our prospective client on the 29th, which gives us time to take a day trip tomorrow out to Aberdeen to check out what is being held there in trust for the splintered London house. After dinner we head to the office to check out what Patti has done to the place. It is VERY well appointed, classy but well-lived-in to the eye, which is the air we prefer. Patti is pretty good at this kind of stuff; she probably lives vicariously through the CH field agents as she does not have the fortitude for field work.
Aug. 27th: We take the train to Aberdeen, arriving about 10AM. We hang out there for about an hour before someone arrives who can help us. He is a dapper-looking fella by the name of Charles Dunning. He does not have clearance to get us into the vault, but knows who can. We grab lunch while he goes to get them. A rather severe-looking older man arrives. He introduces himself as Maxwell Lithgow, the CH librarian. He retrieves a well-worn ledger that has a record of our joint holdings. We go through everything, skipping things that are of no obvious use to us now. Willy would like to see everything, but knows we simply do not have the time.
The items include:
The Armor of Guillaume de Sonnac,
A cloak pin – provides a magical field of protection,
Tyrfang – a sword that catches fire when exposed to flame,
A matched set of Egyptian rings – dedicated to Ra and Thoth, two of a set of three that allow users to change each other's fates,
A stone ankh – the Egyptian version of our silver undead-repelling cross,
Several Egyptian scrolls – I can care less, but Willy wanted them for later translation,
Hrunting – a heavy iron sword patterned after the sword of Beowulf,
Mysterious Grecian dagger – single-edged, ivory handle with iron blade, dedicated to Artemis. Comes with a compulsion to kill that which would harm the innocent. Would like to excise Aldo's brain-rider using surgical techniques of questionable merit,
Minoan axe – amazingly lightweight, but impossible to hide with ease as it is a double-headed battleaxe,
Grecian bow – Dedicated to the Greek goddess of mystery, night, and killing with little remorse, Hecate. Can speak to the wielder in their native tongue. Scares Sergei like crazy.
We contact the 1st House to arrange the loan of these items, asking specifically for Koenigsman. He allows the transfer of everything but the armor, but asks that the scrolls be held at their House for safety. Promises that we will have access to them as we need, but they are REALLY old and fragile. Sounds like a bargain well struck, we pocket our new arsenal and head for home.
The dagger tries to compel Aldo to play amateur surgeon on his own head. We prevent this and decide that Jenny is NOT allowed within 20 feet of this knife. We head home, where Patti (the magic item expert) goes over the items. The rings allow wearers to trade fates, and are part of a set of three. Willy takes them to work, getting Dr. Birch to take a look. Sure enough, a set of three; each ring has an inscription that reads "Ra/Thoth/'probably Apep, son of Nieth.
Aug. 29: We head to the office to meet our prospective client. He is an older fella, probably in his 60s (although his tired demeanor suggests he may be a bit younger). His dark, well-done suit belies that he is probably wealthy, or used to portraying as such. He introduces himself as Mr. Sterling. He is a bit hesitant about telling us the facts, but we assure him that the weird is our wheelhouse. The case:
Eighteen years ago (1848), his daughter Emily was defiled by an attacker. The attack reduced her to madness and left her pregnant. It is believed that her attacked was one Spring-heeled Jack, a notorious creature/person accused of attacks of a roguish nature. Known as more of a dashing nuisance than a rapist, that is all of the lead we have.
The thing that brings Mr. Srerling to us is that his grandson, now a young man, has been exhibiting strange powers as of late. A bright, well-liked young man, he has recently been seen asleep standing up and floating off the ground.
Now that is more like it! We agree to help, charging him expenses (including the all-important medical ones, if needed), and tell him that after we conclude our investigation he is free to pay us what he feels is fair. Honestly, this man feels at the end of his rope, and if we succeed in our endeavor he could make a rather good patron for the CH (and advertising for our agency). Between Sergei, Patti, and I, none of us feel up to taking advantage of a man who is this beset upon, even if he may be filthy rich. We tell him we will have a contract sent over, get his address, and wish him a good day.
MEANWHILE, Aldo goes to visit Father Delaney of the other House. It was partially my idea, I figured that he might know more about Aldo's brain-rider. Delaney did not know specifics, but also did not care to know them. All he knew was that it needed to be exorcised NOW, and all but ordered it according to Aldo. As Delaney is not Aldo's boss, he politely declined, saying that he might take him up on the offer but needed time to think. It will probably come back to bite us soon, but Aldo did the right thing; Delaney wants to help, but seems more of the one-cure-for-everything kind of religious person. Aldo is seriously considering Delaney's offer, though.
We get the contract back, signed as we believed it would be. Our 'Mr. Sterling' is actually Michael Braddock, a very wealthy investor in British steel and railroad enterprises. We obtain permission to visit his daughter in Bedlam, discussing the issues of having me (hard-to-control spontaneous restless spirit syndrome) and Aldo (hard-to-control murderous innocence wrangler in his head) at the asylum, but we have to do what we have to do.
Emily is non-responsive at first, but we find this to be not entirely true. She can respond, but through seemingly spastic movements. It is as if she is fighting internally to be heard. This communication is limited to yes-and-no, for the most part, and since we have no idea on specific questions to ask of a 18-year-old cold case, it is maddening for us and ESPECIALLY Emily. She is being heard by people who believe her for perhaps the first time in 18 years, but cannot say what she wants to! I cannot imagine the frustration!
Sergei decides to try a little magic on her; so far as we know of his ability, it cannot hurt her worse than she already is! He powers up a bit, then drops enough electricity into her head that I thought she was going to burp a Zeus. And, once again, we got to witness a miracle (that, once again, had a rational-esque explanation). Emily's mental fugue snapped. For the first time in 18 years, Emily is once again herself!
Out pours the story. She was a prospect for the Munster House, scouted by our brother Kit's mom. She ran in a pack of 5, including a particular do-gooder named Jack. The ran around helping out as they can and agitated someone powerful enough to do something about it. That something, so far as we can tell, is to rape Emily and then have some sort of memory-wiping creature lock her away in her own mind, framing Jack for the deed (and possibly all of the other misdeeds of spring-heeled Jack of that era). This tracks; Willy mentions that Jack was said to be anything from a devil to a mischievous rogue in his capers.
This creature's powers sound hauntingly familiar to the one that helped wipe out the chief of night shift at Scotland Yard. And, quite possibly, the person who did this to Emily may be attached to the person/persons who have been picking off our House's members over the last few years.
Emily is on-board with our plan. We decide to bait a trap (YAY!!!); Emily will be heading home tonight (a tearful reunion with her Dad was one of the highlights of my young life, and I have stabbed a ghost to death for reference). Dr. Wakefield (her doctor) and an orderly will be going with in case of relapse (understandable, but I will bleed them both if they are in any way entangled with her being how she was for the last 18 years). We will be going with them as her resident experts in… hell, what do we call ourselves? Mental disorder repairmen? Cranial chimney-sweeps?
Wakefield seems genuinely relieved to see Emily healed, but word will get out. And since she knows the identity of her assailants, as well as the why they did it. They gave a warning to our CH to stay out of their affairs.
Though I never knew these brothers (and sisters), I feel perfectly fine extracting vengeance for them.

NEW YORK (May. 11)
Jewish and non-Jewish leaders all over the country paid their respects today to Israel on her 22nd anniversary. President Nixon wrote to Israel's President Zalman Sharer stating that "Israel's courage and progress continue to have my respect, and its achievements have. been Impressive. It Is my hope that the coming year will be crowned with the peace we all seek and desire." Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller proclaimed today Israel Independence Day throughout New York State, noting that "the stability of Israel offers the possibility of permanent peace in the Middle East." Mayor Frank A. Sedita, of Buffalo, N.Y., proclaimed Israel Independence Day In his city, and stated, "The friendship of the citizens of the State of Israel and the citizens of the United States of America is based not only on the legal recognition each of each by the respective governments but also upon the shared moral and spiritual heritage of Western civilization."
Mayor Sam Massell, of Atlanta, Ga., the first Jew to hold that office there, declared that "The early settlers of our land came with their Bibles in their hands and in their hearts and minds as well, confident that they could build a New Jerusalem, a Jerusalem of spirit here in America. Twenty-two years ago another people, equally determined and equally dedicated to the principles of democracy, proclaimed a New Jerusalem In Jerusalem itself." Edward Ginsberg, general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal called on American Jews to use Independence Day "to reaffirm our determination that our historic Identification with Israel's people will never falter, and that the chain of Jewish unity re-established in 1948 will never again be broken." Jacques Torczyner. president of the Zionist Organization of America, renewed his appeal for the sale of more Jet aircraft to Israel to re-establish the military balance of power in the Mideast. Jacob Stein, president of the United Synagogue of America, sent a cable to Israel's president Zalman Shazar pledging the Conservative organization's "solidarity with the gallant people of Israel who are manning the ramparts in defense of their freedom and security."

Our favorite actors from "Lost" are popping up everywhere in prime time this fall, including Terry O'Quinn (John Locke) as a devilish building owner in "666 Park Avenue," Jorge Garcia (Hurley) as a fairy-tale giant on "Once Upon a Time" and Harold Perrineau (Michael) as the most ruthless villain "Sons of Anarchy" -- or any other show -- has ever seen.
Here's when and where to find 14 "Lost" alumni in their new series:

Former 'Lost' stars: Where they are on TV nowof
Terry O'Quinn
"Lost" role: John Locke
Latest role: Gavin Doran on "666 Park Avenue"
Locke was a little power-mad on "Lost," but O'Quinn seems to have the power of life and death in his new supernatural drama as a Machiavellian owner of a posh New York building where the residents are granted their wishes -- at a cost. O'Quinn told Vulture that the character is "one-note" in the premiere, but to stay tuned: "It's fun to play bad guys. They have better secrets."
"666 Park Avenue" premieres Sept. 30 at 10 p.m. on ABC.ABC / ABC

Michael Emerson
"Lost" role: Devious mastermind Ben
New role: Harold Finch on "Person of Interest"
At the end of "Lost," everyone had atoned for their sins enough to make it to a blissful afterlife, everyone but that slippery devil, Ben. On Emerson's new show, he's just as mysterious and shadowy, but this time his manipulations are for the greater good. Even in another life, the actor is still paying off Ben's karmic debt. We love whenever other "Lost" stars show up, like psychic Miles (Ken Leung, who appeared in the season two premiere) and possibly-more-evil-than-Ben Charles Widmore (Alan Dale).
"Person of Interest" airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on CBS.CBS / CBS

Daniel Dae Kim
"Lost" role: Jin Kwon
Latest role: Chin Ho Kelly on "Hawaii Five-0"
Actor Daniel Dae Kim didn't have to move far to find work once "Lost" wrapped up filming in Hawaii. He quickly landed the role of Chin Ho Kelly, an ex-Honolulu police detective on CBS' remake of the classic show of the same name, which kicked off its third season this fall.
"Hawaii Five-0" airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on CBS.CBS / CBS

Jorge Garcia
"Lost" role: Hugo "Hurley" Reyes
Latest role: The Giant on "Once Upon a Time"
"Once's" creators, Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, wrote some of the best Hurley episodes of "Lost," so it makes sense they'd ask Garcia to fill the oversize boots of the fairy-tale giant from "Jack and the Beanstalk." We can only hope he'll have scenes with Belle (Emilie de Ravin), who played Claire on "Lost."
"Once Upon a Time" returns Sept. 30 at 8 p.m. on ABC.Reuters / Reuters

Emilie de Ravin
"Lost" role: Claire Littleton
New role: Belle on "Once Upon a Time"
On "Lost," Claire went from a sweet, if stressed, young mom to crazy, wild-haired jungle dweller after someone stole her baby. The island'll do that to you! De Ravin also has had her share of hardship so far as lovely Belle on "Once Upon a Time" -- once kept prisoner by Regina, she's now free and under Mr. Gold's protection. She made her first appearance last season, but you'll see a lot more of her in season two as she's been bumped up to series regular.
"Once Upon a Time" season two premieres Sept. 30 at 8 p.m. on ABC.AP / AP

Naveen Andrews
"Lost" role: Sayid Jarrah
Latest role: Lord Akbari on "Sinbad"
Even though he's now playing an out-and-out villain, "Sinbad" sounds a lot more lighthearted than Sayid's journey on "Lost." Andrews plays the hero's arch-nemesis who (much like Harold Perrineau) is seeking revenge for the death of his child. As the actor told Sky 1, once he saw the costumes, he decided to "just have fun" with the role.

Elizabeth Mitchell
"Lost" role: Juliet Burke
Latest role: Rachel on "Revolution"
Mitchell is a regular on the new futuristic series from "Lost" mastermind J.J. Abrams and "Supernatural" creator Eric Kripke. She plays the mother of main character Charlie (Tracy Spiridakos), and flashbacks so far have shown that she was quite a fighter.
"Revolution" airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on NBC.NBC / NBC

Yunjin Kim
"Lost" role: Sun Kwon
Latest role: Karen on "Mistresses"
At first Sun was a shy, dutiful wife, but viewers quickly learned there was a lot more to her than met the eye, including an affair and a secret plan to leave her husband. On Kim's upcoming new series "Mistresses," about the "scandalous lives of a sexy and sassy group of girlfriends," she'll play a therapist who gets overly involved with a patient.
"Mistresses" premieres in 2013 on ABC.ABC / ABC

Harold Perrineau
"Lost" role: Michael Dawson
Latest role: Damon Pope on "Sons of Anarchy"
Michael did terrible things to get his son back on "Lost," but in Perrineau's first "SOA" episode, in which he plays a drug kingpin, he set a rival's daughter on fire as retribution for his own murdered child. As the actor told The Hollywood Reporter, "It's not that different from 'Lost' because I'm playing a grieving father. This is just a grieving father with means and a bit of a mean streak."
"Sons of Anarchy" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on FX.FX / FX

Jeremy Davies
"Lost" role: Daniel Faraday
Latest role: Dickie Bennett on "Justified"
Davies, whose Faraday died a tragic death that ranked as one of "Lost's" saddest, does a 180 on "Justified" as the murderous, weed-dealing nemesis of Timothy Olyphant's Marshal Raylan Givens. Dickie and Raylan's differences go deeper than mere law: Their families have been feuding since Prohibition. Davies debuted in the recurring role in the second season, but his 2012 Emmy win for guest actor might inspire a few fans to catch up.

Zuleikha Robinson
"Lost" role: Ilana Verdansky
Latest role: Roya Hammad on "Homeland"
In season six of "Lost," Ilana picked up Sayid in a bar, then slapped handcuffs on him since she'd been hired by Jacob to take him back to the island. In Robinson's new gig, she'll have a similarly duplicitous role as a journalist who's secretly working for terrorist Abu Nazir (Navid Negahban). "Homeland" co-creator Alex Gansa told Digital Spy: "She's a master manipulator whose cover as a reporter allows her access to people."

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
"Lost" role: Mr. Eko
New role: Deacon Crane on "Hunted"
Eko was a cruel drug lord who found redemption on the island. Time will tell if Akinnuoye-Agbaje's (left, pictured with Stephen Dillane) new part as a member of an elite private security firm on "Hunted" will find him on the side of good or evil. "Hunted's" eight-episode series stars Melissa George (of JJ Abrams' "Alias") as an operative who was betrayed by her own team.

"Lost" role: Phil
New role: Guest on "Scandal"
Fischler -- who's also appeared on "Grimm" (pictured), "Criminal Minds" and "Mad Men" -- will appear in multiple episodes as a whistleblower who comes to Olivia for help. Sadly, season one regular and former "Lost" co-star Henry Ian Cusick, better known as the time-traveling Desmond, won't be returning for season two of "Scandal," but he will appear in season five of "The Mentalist."
"Scandal" airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on ABC.NBC / NBC

Raymonde -- who had her own "stolen at birth" saga as Danielle Rousseau's kidnapped daughter on "Lost" -- began her recurring role on "Switched" as street artist Zarra on Sept. 10. She befriends Bay (Vanessa Marano) and "challenges (her) in different ways," executive producer Lizzy Weiss told TVGuide.com about the character.

Should judges have Twitter or Facebook friends?
We have discussed "friending" on social networking sites before. Some school districts are clamping down on teachers and administrators becoming friends with students. Rules may limit off-campus contact with students to homework assignments or messages strictly relating to school activities.
Judges and lawyers are also taking a close look at e-communication relationships including Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. It is the appearance of any impropriety that must be avoided. What would you think of a lawyer in a case who is in touch with the judge online? Even if the subject of their messages is unrelated to the case, their contact may appear to be a conflict of interest.
In December, 2009, a Judicial Ethics Advisory Committee in Florida took a stand against judges having online friendships with attorneys who appear before them. The Committee said that it "reasonably conveys to others the impression that these lawyer 'friends' are in a special position to influence the judge.
Those opposing the recommendation state that judges do not drop out of society when they become judges. There are other ways, they argue, to deal with the appearance of impropriety including disqualification by the judge on a case when a conflict arises. With increasing participation on social networks, the issue will continue to be debated.

What's the Difference Between 32-bit and 64-bit?
You've likely heard the terms "64-bit" and "32-bit" when it comes to computers. But what do they mean? Tech Talker explains just what these bits are and why the difference matters to you.
If you've purchased a new computer or new software in the past few years, you've probably run across the question, "Is your computer 32-bit or 64-bit?" In this week's episode, we'll be going over what the difference is between 64-bit and 32-bit, why it matters, and how to find out which you have! But first…>
What Is a "Bit"?
A bit is actually a contraction of the term "binary digit." It's thebasic unit of information in computing. Eight bits form a byte. This might sound familiar if you've checked out my series on BitTorrent. If you recall, BitTorrent is a way to stream and share large files over the web. In other words, BitTorrent is a way to share many bits of information with others online.
What Is the Difference Between 64-bit and 32-bit?
The complicated explanation for what 64-bit really means is that a 64-bit computer processor can handle memory and data addresses represented in 64 bits. To the average computer user this means nothing. To put it in better terms, a 64-bit computer can handle more memory than a 32-bit computer. If it were a bank, a 32-bit computer would have 32 tellers available, while a 64-bit computer would have 64 tellers.
So a 64-bit processor can address more memory. Why is this important? Well, 32-bit machines have a limit of the amount of RAM they can utilize. The standard 32-bit computer can only use about 3.25GB of RAM. You can always add more RAM to your computer, but the computer simply would not be able to utilize it. On the other hand, 64-bit systems can handle virtually unlimited RAM. Well, there is a theoretical limit of 17 billion (with a "B") gigabytes of RAM! This is one major benefit of a 64-bit system.
See also: Open Heart Surgery on Your Computer
Another benefit is the speed boost of 64-bit processors. Taking a look back at the example I gave about the bank, if 64 windows are open at a bank, that means that you could serve the same amount of people as a 32-teller bank, but do it twice as fast!
If you have a 32-bit computer, then you will not be able to run 64-bit programs.
Clearly we can see that 64-bit systems have some real advantages. But what exactly makes a computer 64-bit versus 32-bit? As you may have already guessed, the main item that gives your computer this designation is the processor. If you have a fairly new computer (purchased in the past 3 years), then odds are you will have a 64-bit processor. I recommend finding out for sure. You can do that super easily right now. Just click Windows, if you have a PC, or Apple, if you have a Mac, and you'll get easy instructions on how to find your processor capacity.
Now that you know which processor your system is running, the next question is: How does the processor type affect your user experience? The biggest difference will be the software that you install. If you have a 64-bit system, then you can run 64-bit programs and 32-bit programs on your computer. If you try to run a 32-bit program on a 64-bit computer, the program will work fine but you will not see any speed improvements as you would in a 64-bit computer. Basically, your 64-bit machine would only work as fast as a 32-bit machine running that specific program. So as a rule of thumb, 64-bit programs should be used in a 64-bit machine whenever possible to get the fastest speeds. If you have a 32-bit computer, then you will not be able to run 64-bit programs.
An interesting thing to note is that if you compare two computers side by side, you'll notice that while the 64-bit machine is faster, it may not actually be twice as fast as the 32-bit, which would be intuitive.
Why is that?
It's because the computer world is in transition. We are transitioning away from 32-bit and moving to 64-bit. This transition is frustrating because when a software developer writes software, he has to write two versions, one 64-bit version and one 32-bit version. However, if a developer doesn't have the resources to write both, then they will default to writing a 32-bit version because it works on both types of systems.
This is the biggest reason why 64-bit computers aren't truly twice as fast as their 32-bit relatives. It would be like putting regular gasoline inside a racecar. Without optimized programs, the computer can't meet its full potential. It is only a matter of time before we transition completely to 64-bit computers and software programs. But for now, it's a good thing that many large software developers create software for both types of systems.
Here are your Quick and Dirty Tips for 64-bit and 32-bit systems:
32-bit systems are limited to 3.2 Gigabytes of RAM.
64-bit systems allow for faster processing and up to 17 Billion gigabytes of RAM.
If you have a 64-bit system, you should use 64-bit software whenever possible (but can still run 32-bit software).
If you have a 32-bit system, you cannot run 64-bit programs.
In this episode, I talked a lot about the different components in your computer. If you want to know more about each of these components, such as RAM and processors, be sure to check out my episode on the inner workings of your computer.
Well, that's it for today! Be sure to check out all my earlier episodes at techtalker.quickanddirtytips.com. And if you have further questions about this podcast or want to make a suggestion for a future episode, post your comments on the Tech Talker Facebook page.

Kannan Iyer
Music Director
Vishal Bhardwaj
Emraan Hashmi, Kalki Koechlin, Huma Qureshi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pawan Malhotra, Vishesh Tiwari, Rajatava Dutta, Bhavesh Balchandani, Vikas Srivastav
Ekta Kapoor has earned the title of a productive maker, endeavoring pictures on fluctuated subjects in a moderately short compass --biopic [THE DIRTY PICTURE], hoodlums [SHOOTOUT AT LOKHANDWALA and ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI], repulsiveness [RAGINI MMS], laughathons [KYAA KOOL HAIN HUM and KYAA SUPER KOOL HAIN HUM], practical [LOVE SEX AUR DHOKHA]... the venturesome maker now adds yet another class to her exceptional collection: Supernatural thriller. A class that is terrorizing and also thrilling.
Do ghosts/spirits exist? What should be said of dark mystery? Right a myth? Does it truly work? A year ago, pictures like RAAZ 3 [a blurring character revels in dark enchanting to settle scores with an upcoming actress], TALAASH [the spirit of a dead lady slaughters the perpetrators of the crime] and all the more as of late, AATMA [the battle between a lady and her dead spouse over their child] took the observer into the universe of aatmas and spirits. EK THI DAAYAN might take on the likeness of yet another toll that talks of ghosts/witches, occult and the preferences, however it is, maybe, the first Hindi film that puts forth witchcraft most sensibly. Additionally, its a standout amongst the most ghostly encounters to unfold on the Bollywood screen.
Our nation is punctured with superstitions, errors and mistaken convictions. We have caught tales of witches. Myths for example daayans might be attractive, their feet are turned inwards, their energy untruths in the plait [choti], so on and so hence come around to making the onlooker have confidence in stories encompassing mercilessness, paranormal, otherworldly and supernatural forces. EK THI DAAYAN makes you respond to the rituals/practices that have existed since time immemorial, in any case, Id get a kick out of the chance to clarify, it doesn extol the practice. Forceful and terrifying, EK THI DAAYAN is positioned in todays times and the old stories of a witch, mixed astutely in the screenplay, makes it an entrancing cinematic experience.
Bobo [Emraan Hashmi] is Indias heading conjurer. However unfamiliar to even his lady friend Tamara [Huma Qureshi], Bobos life is going into disrepair. His consistent mental trips abandon him with no alternative however to look for psychiatric offer assistance. Living out trance, an unnerving tale about his youth surfaces including a sinister power called Daayan, who has not just obliterated his family, and yet guaranteed to come back to visit Bobo.
Bobo decides to overlook it and proceed onward with his life. Just when his vocation and love life is at full throttle, drops in the overwhelming Lisa Dutt [Kalki Koechlin]. Bobo is persuaded that she is the daayan. In any case it is safe to say that she is, truly? Alternately it is safe to say that he is simply losing his psyche?
There is something out there that is peculiar, that is past the domain of human cognizance that EK THI DAAYAN taps grippingly. First-time head Kannan Iyer steps advance to offer something fundamentally distinctive in this class and for those who have faith in daayans --even those who don --will take to the plot right away in light of the fact that Kannans narrating is clear and graspable. The flashback partitions in the first hour are significant, with Emraan returning to his youth. In the meantime, Kannan guarantees that theres a fondness story running parallel to the essential story, other than reconciling the obligatory melodies in the account, in this way staying away from being named dark and dry the whole time.
Appreciatively, EK THI DAAYAN is not the standard terribleness toll and the storyteller does a volte face in the finishing up reels. The suspense --when it decodes --is certain to hit you like a huge amount of blocks. Nonetheless, the picture almost always get a touch foreseeable right now and the pacing excessively backs off soon after the interim, yet the alarm remainder and the wind towards the last stages more than recompense for the deficiencies.
Satisfying the notoriety of concocting a qualitative musical score, Vishal Bhardwaj conveys a soundtrack that is leaked in tune. "Yaaram" is the most charming track [and gigantically mainstream too], while Kaali Kaali and Totey Ud Gaye are appealing sytheses simultaneously. In keeping with the inclination of the picture, the DoP [Saurabh Goswami] keeps the casings dull, however he should realize that the [dark] tone can turn out to be a blemish on occasion. The superficial impacts [Prana Studios] are first class. Underpinning score [Clinton Cerejo] merits uncommon notice. It adds to the spooky vibe.
Emraan Hashmi nails his character. He conveys the picture on his wide shoulders, carrying more than enough soul to his character. This is near his finest works, undoubtedly! EK THI DAAYAN marks Konkona Sen Sharmas tryst with the repulsiveness sort and given her acting encounter, she conveys a marvelous exhibition once more. In the wake of depicting the part of a minor town young lady in her first two pictures, Huma Qureshi oozes coolness and certainty in this new avatar. Kalki Koechlin searches flawless as far as it matters for her, yet her character for the most part get a spot befuddling towards the last minutes.
Pavan Malhotra is top notch once more. Rajatava Dutta [as Emraans doctor] is astounding. Bhavesh Balchandani, the tyke virtuoso, is without a doubt, yet it is another youngster creator, Vishesh Tiwari [portraying the adolescent Emraan], who conveys a super exhibition. The kid maestro depicting Visheshs sister is basically charming.
All in all, EK THI DAAYAN is an inventive and engaging powerful thriller. The picture is set in a relatable planet, with myths about witches expertly interlaced in its engrossing screenplay, something which an observer can easily relate to. Extraordinarily novel and consideration snatching, its a first of its benevolent. Watch it for the sheer variety it puts on presentation in its classification!

Why Nomada?
Nomada cases are the best panniers in the world! We've tested and compared them ourselves during our 4 years record setting trip around the world and found them stronger and easier to live with than any of the competition we've seen. Nomada panniers don't dent, buckle or deform in even the most minor spills like many others do. They've even withstood a 120 km head-on during our trip in Kyrgyzstan. The pannier cut through the bumper, the wing, the tyre and the rim of the car which was on the wrong side of the road and yet did not deform! These cases are really strong and the best way to protect your valuable luggage, and yourself!
They are 100% waterproof and, much harder to achieve, dustproof. High quality components and top grade materials ensure they will be so for a long time. Nomada cases come with a double seal, sturdy pro latches and reinforcements in the pannier to ensure they don't deform. We've seen many panniers fail early in their life, including much more expensive brands, but the Nomada cases as fitted to our bikes just performed day in day out. The only part we've replaced is one corner protector, which had done it's job. Yet they have been through sandstorms in Kazakhstan, the biggest downpour in human history in the Himalayas, been used as a bumper bar in India(!) and taken many a hit on the harder off-road sections. They've prevented our legs from broken bones and through it all kept our computers and all the hard disks containing video and photo material alive.
The latches on Nomada cases are the best in the business, especially the pro-latches which have a double function. They allow the lid to be removed completely, even when a roll-top bag is fitted over the rear seat and panniers. Opening just one latch means the other works as a hinge. Locks for the latches can be ordered in a batch of 6, which means side panniers and top box can be opened with just one key.
Nomada cases mount with a simple yet sturdy mounting kit to the Nomada frames, or many other pannier frames. They lock from the inside. The mounting kit is strong enough to ensure your pannier will not come off in a crash, and thereby keeps protecting its contents and your legs. A special mention deserves the base of Nomada cases. They come as a separate structure which is riveted and sealed inside the sides of the pannier. This results in a 4 mm thick join which further enhances the strength of the cases. They truly are the best panniers in the world... by far!
PRO pannier system for R1100/1150GS/Adv
The quality of Nomada racks and panniers is second to none. These well made pannier systems, finished in durable powder coating, are tried and tested all over the world. We took them on our own record setting 4 year long journey around the world and they performed flawlessly. The racks attach to the bike using existing mounting points and come complete with all the hardware needed to fit them. The panniers in complete sets come pre-drilled and with the mounting kits fitted.
The advantage of this system is the cut out for the exhaust which makes the complete set over 10 cm narrower.
Select with either 2x31L, 2x38L or 2x45L Nomada PRO II panniers
Racks come powder coated in black or in stainless steel.
Set contains:
-Right pannier Nomada PRO II 31, 38L or 45L
-Left pannier Nomada PRO II 31, 38L or 45L with cutout
-Pannier rack and mounting kit
-Mounting kit for 2 panniers
Width of the set:
2 x 31L - only 81cm
2 x 38l - only 89cm
2 x 45l - 97cm (on photos)
Note: Locks are not included in the price of the set.

NEW YORK (Jul. 26)
A tribute to the memory of Vladimir Jabotinsky, founder of the Zionist-Revisionist movement was paid today at a meeting of the executive of the American section of the Jewish Agency for Israel, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Rose. L. Halprin, marking the 20th anniversary of the death of the Zionist leader.
"His was a luminous personality, a great and powerful voice raised on behalf of his people's rights, an unceasing fighter for its statehood," Mrs. Halprin said. Members of the executive joined in recalling his great personality, his important contributions to the Zionist movement and his deep belief in the idea of Jewish statehood.

MIAMI (AP) — For the first time in these playoffs, the Miami Heat were facing some real adversity.
They responded with a technical knockout.
After nine technical fouls, two ejections and a whole lot of extracurricular pushing and shoving, the end results were as follows: The biggest postseason win in Heat history, the biggest postseason loss in Chicago Bulls history, and tons of fresh venom pulsing through the veins of this now-tied Eastern Conference semifinal series. Miami won 115-78, a stunning outcome for a game that was basically back-and-forth for much of the first half.
Game 3 is Friday in Chicago, where the Heat will have to win at least one game if they're going to win the series.
Earlier today on The Charlie Bernstein Show, Alex Kennedy of HoopsWorld.com talked to Charlie about the Heat-Bulls series and how physical this series has been and will continue to be. Alex also talked about the one team who could give Miami problems.
The Charlie Bernstein Show comes to you live Monday through Friday 3pm – 7pm from the Culpepper | Kurland Sports Talk 1040 Studios in Tampa.
