Our favourite time of year came with a touch of sadness…
Christmas is always a magical time in our house – my husband starts playing carols immediately after the bonfires of Guy Fawkes night have been extinguished, and the tree is up pretty quickly after that. Both of our families come to ours – and this year they were all looking forward to there being a bump to rub and talk to all day long.
Although, sadly, our Christmas plans didn't quite start the way we'd hoped. On Christmas Eve our much loved ginger cat Marvin passed away. It was the strangest thing ever, and if I'm honest it still doesn't feel real. He was sat in his favourite spot in the lounge, and simply looked like he was in the middle of a peaceful sleep. Marv was very ill last year, and we almost lost him then, so we're very grateful to have had that extra year and a half with him. There was no sign that he was poorly – he was eating, playing and giving us kisses as normal that morning. If anything he was being more affectionate than ever. Because of that, we don't believe he was in any pain.
I know a lot of people think highly of their pets (something non-pet owners probably don't understand) but Marv really was special – he was one of a kind with the most awesomely loving personality. We're so saddened that our little dude is no longer with us, but are grateful that he was a part of our family.
With 12 guests to feed and a whopping big turkey in the fridge, Christmas Day still came with all its madness – a nice distraction from the previous day's events.
This year it was Tom who took over as chef on the big day (as I'm six months pregnant I was banned from any responsibility), and my oh my he did a wonderful job! He took the task very seriously and practised his potatoes, stuffing, carrots, parsnips and Brussels beforehand. All were superb. It was a real feast and, as is tradition in our house, everyone had to roll away from the dinner table once it was all gone.
The evening was spent stuffing our faces further with chocolate (mostly me) and cheese and wine (everyone else), whilst watching Doctor Who and playing games of Pucket (the best game ever invented – my sister is the champion) and Heads Up (ridiculously funny).
Boxing day was a lot calmer, with us going for a walk to feed a donkey and horse before curling up to eat even more chocolate.
Unfortunately after that my body decided to stop fighting the cold/cough I'd been struggling to hold off– meaning we had to cancel tickets to see the wonderful Tom Hiddleston at The Donmar in Coriolanus. Gutted, but I didn't want to be the annoying lady in the audience who coughed and spluttered throughout!
I'm still full of snot (lovely), but looking forward to welcoming 2014 – I just know it's going to be a magical year for so many people!
Happy New Year!

SAVANNAH, Ga. - Savannah State University officials say a public safety officer's gun accidentally discharged on the campus, sending a bullet crashing through two windows before it came to a stop in a classroom wall.
University spokeswoman Loretta Heyward said the officer's weapon misfired during either a training exercise or a demonstration Wednesday morning. There was a class in session in the room where the bullet came to rest, but no one was hurt.
The gunfire happened in the Hubert Tech Science Building, where the Department of Public Safety is housed.

God's Word Is Out To Bless You
Isaiah 55:11
11So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please,and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
In the early church, whenever the Word of God was preached, there were miracles of salvation, healings, and other signs and wonders. The demon-possessed were set free. The paralyzed jumped up and walked. People received their loved ones back from the dead.
I remember some years back getting married to my wife Christiana, she said to me "The doctor told me that i won't be able to conceive". So the night after our wedding ceremony I laid my hands on her stomach and said to her "In the name of Jesus Christ you will carry your children with your hands", we prayed and believed the word of God concerning the fruit of the womb. Today we are blessed with four precious children. Just because we believed God's word, healing went forth.
My friend alway remember that God's anointing is always greater than our asking.
I believe with all of my heart that we are truly coming to the place where as the Word of God goes forth, it produces the very effect that the Word promises. So if the Word on healing goes forth, know that healing is already exploding in your body. Your miracle has already happened.
Very often, as you are reading the Word on your own or listening to anointed preaching of the Word, you will feel God's peace and joy, and feel faith springing up in your heart. As the Word goes forth and you find that you are strengthened to receive your miracle, that is the time to say, "Lord, I receive my healing right now." That is the time to say, "I receive Your restoration for my marriage." That is the time to say, "I receive Your breakthrough for my finances."
You don't have to wait until a church leader or friend prays for you. Every time your faith is strengthened as you hear the Word, release it through your mouth to receive your miracle, for God's Word is out to bless you!

One of 2009's mega-blockbusters will not see the light of day in one African nation.
The Federal Republic of Nigeria has moved to ban District 9, a science-fiction thriller and one of the biggest movies of the year, citing the depiction of Nigerians in the film.
"We have directed that they should stop public screening of the film," said Dora Akunyili. "We are not happy about it because it portrays Nigeria in a bad light."
Akunyili has written executives at Sony's film division asking for an apology while demanding that they remove all references to the film in Nigeria as well as the name of the film's main antagonist, gangster low-life Obesandjo, whom bears an uncanny resemblance in name and character to former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Several members of Nigeria's government, including Akunyili, first viewed the film during a private session last Wednesday. One of their "favorite" scenes featured Obesanjo attempting to cut off and consume the arm of the film's hero in an attempt to gain his otherworldly abilities.
District 9 tells a story of civic unrest in the South African metropolis of Johannesburg after an alien ships mysteriously appears over the city and of the government conspiracy that renders calamitous results.

1 shot, several arrested in crowd outside Recher Theater
Police: Oversold event led to mob-like scene in Towson
A man was shot and as many as five people were arrested over the weekend during a mob-like scene outside the Recher Theater in Towson.
Baltimore County police Lt. Robert McCullough said the incident culminated at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, stemming from an event put on by an adult fraternity at the Recher Theater.
Police said the theater reached capacity was apparently oversold, and some people who were turned away broke out into fights on York Road. Police estimated that a crowd of about 2,500 people swelled outside the theater, but that a majority of the people were cooperative and left.
While working to clear the crowd, a 20-year-old man approached officers at about 1:15 a.m., reporting he was shot in a parking garage at the Towson Town Center.
Police said the man is not a college student, he is not from the area and he was going to the Recher Theater for the planned event. As he walked back to his car, another car pulled up beside him and a man inside fired several shots, hitting the victim, police said.
The suspect vehicle fled, and the victim ran to get help from an officer near the Towson Circle. The shooting victim was hospitalized and underwent surgery on Sunday. His condition was not immediately released.
Police said the size of the crowd overwhelmed officers on routine patrol in the Towson entertainment area, and additional officers and a K-9 unit were called in.
Officers arrested four people on charges of disorderly conduct or disobeying an order. Three people were arrested for assault on police officers, who suffered injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Junior Ramsey, 23, of Hyattsville, was charged with second-degree assault, disorderly conduct, failure to obey a lawful order and resisting arrest.
Steven Daniels, 25, of Baltimore, was charged with second-degree assault, second-degree assault on a law enforcement officer, obstructing and hindering, failure to obey a lawful order and resisting arrest.
Dimante Fox, 19, of Balitmore, was charged with second-degree assault on a law enforcement officer, second-degree assault, disorderly conduct and failure to obey a lawful order.
Chad Schultz, 24, of Timonium, was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and failure to obey a lawful order.
Benjamin Aduna, 21, of Parkville, was charged with failure to obey a lawful order and resisting arrest.
Police said officers charged two others with disorderly conduct and failure to obey a lawful order. Police did not release their names.
On Tuesday, Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz and Police Chief James Johnson placed blame on Recher Theater owner Brian Recher, saying he subcontracted the theater out to a third party. They said the county may go after Recher's liquor license.
"You are responsible for what takes place in your premises as well as outside of your premises, and if there are actions that are connected to those premises, we are going to hold those liquor license holders responsible for this," Kamenetz said.
WBAL-TV 11 News tried Tuesday to speak to Recher about the allegations, but he declined comment.
The Theta Mu Mu fraternity -- which is the Baltimore County chapter of the national Omega Psi Phi fraternity -- hosted the event, according to Christopher Cooper, counsel representing the national chapter. Cooper described the event as a dance and clothing drive that nothing to do with the violence.
Police said Towson University, which had its homecoming, had nothing to do with the event and that most in attendance were not from the area.
"There is nothing wrong with downtown Towson," Kamenetz said. "There's nothing wrong with the vast majority of the businesses that operate in downtown Towson, nothing wrong with students and Towson University."
George Georges runs The Kent Lounge, which is just a few doors away from the Recher Theater. He said he heard people getting turned away.
"At one point, they were on the megaphone saying that there was no longer going to be anybody going into the theater," Georges said.
He said the crowd spilled onto York Road, and things got rowdy, so he locked his doors. A witness said police used dogs and blocked parts of York Road in an effort to get the crowd under control.
"It just seemed like it was an angry crowd, and we closed down for about an hour or so just to let the police do their thing," Georges said.
Detectives are asking people with any information on the crime to contact them or report it to Metro Crime Stoppers at 866-7-LOCKUP.

Kimageshop Has New Lease on Life as Krayon
John Califf wrote in to tell us that, "Krayon (also known as Kimageshop) is alive and well and under active development now." Read below about the status of this important KOffice component. Has anyone used it lately? What features are most important to add/get working before Krayon is distributed with KOffice?
Krayon is a component of KOffice for editing bitmapped graphics, with the goal of being KDE's equivalent of the Gimp. Due to other commitments by the original developers, Krayon has stagnated for almost a year, but I have now taken over its active development.
The latest cvs version, avaliable in the KOffice cvs, is quite stable and somewhat usable. You can load and save in the native .kis format, do some simple editing with the brush tool,\ and import from or export to any of the standard image formats supported by Qt. Some of the other tools also work - zoom, moving layers and other layer operations, but most tools are still incomplete. You can edit any number of images at one time using the tabbed interface, without having to make a mess all over your desktop with numerous windows and dialogs and menus.
I'm uncertain of when Krayon will be ready for release with the rest of KOffice. It's mainly a matter of deciding how complete it needs to be in terms of features for inclusion. With this kind of app there is no end to features that can be added. It already has an interface for tools and plugins that can be reused as new tools and plugins are developed. My estimate is that Krayon will be "stable" and "complete" enough by early next year.
It's well worth your trouble to compile this app and play around with it now. I hope that within a month or two more tools will be usable. Of course all these tools are custom made and can't use Qt painter routines - it's similar to Gimp in that way vis-a-vis Gtk. The user inferface is quite nice.
Krayon desparately needs a documentation writer. No translations yet, just the basic docbook stuff. I've received some unexpected but very welcome help from another KOffice developer with patches to code and expect help from others also. If you have some time to work with Krayon and document its capabilities, please contact me or the KImageshp mailing list.
That list has been reactivated and all development patches should be posted there for comment. Discussions should also take place there. Previously I'd been using the KOffice lists.
More information about Krayon and other KDE graphics apps is available on my web site.
Cheers, John
Re: Kimageshop Has New Lease on Life as Krayon
Krayon looks fantastic... well done! Just downloading the CVS now to take a better look at it.
It's about time the GIMP got a serious competitor - it's the only non-KDE app I use regularly, and for all the hype about it's power (and it is powerful), its interface sucks badly (common problem with them GTK+ apps ;)
What the GIMP does have though is an immense number of quality plugins already, many of which could be a PITA to port to Krayon due to their UI relying on GTK+. So, my number one killer feature request for Krayon (aside from all the regular stuff like kick-ass rendering in both RGB and CMYK modes :) is foreign plugin support, which realistically probably means GIMP plugins. This has some problems, the fact it means linking against GTK+ as well, and having to keep up with a plugin API that's not under your control... but think of all the juicy plugins that suddenly become available. I think it's worth a shot. Remember that the nspluginviewer that Konqueror uses for netscape plugins links against Lesstif, so there is a precedent in KDE for linking against other widget sets to gain new features.
Rasterman's imlib2 also might be worth a look for ideas, although it's not nearly as ambitious as libart.
Anyway, that's my tuppence... keep up the good work! :)

Re: Kimageshop Has New Lease on Life as Krayon
I'll take a look at the links you provided especially for libart. A lot of Krayon's rendering code seems to be similar to Gimp already - use of tiles, etc. There's a way to access the data for use with other libs, though it took me a while to find it in what was there when I started.
It's possible to have foreign plugins as well as native plugins which use Qt/Kde and which operate directly on the image in native format. For these foreign plugins shared memory or pipes would need to be used - this would be less of a problem for those things that just do things to the image without the user having to interact than for those that require a visible user interface which uses Gtk.
More promising and much easier to use are the image magick plugins already used by Pixie. Maybe there are not as many of these, but they are very compatible and already have been proven to work with Kde in Pixie, with examples of how to do this. These libs (minimagick) really should be moved to kdesupport or kdelibs, though, so a dependency on kdegraphics isn't created for a koffice app. Overall, image magick is probabally just as good as any other rendering code and is well supported and widely used. There's a lot more image magic stuff that is not currently in kde's version that can be added.
I have no idea how krayon compares in rendering speed with similar paint programs. Briefly, I tried using QPainter and QImage/QPixmap code in place of Krayon's native image code which stores the actual data by layers and channels, usually 32 bit. The Qt stuff was a little faster, but it won't do as it only was 16 bit (whatever your display supports) and lacked channels and layers, and translating back involves even more overhead. You can access the scanline data fairly easily, though, in terms of what QImage uses with Krayon's native image format - for pasting in images and so forth. It's possible for krayon to use threads for updating large images quickly. That's not hooked in but it's doable - later.
This app was started while there were still possible licensing issues with using Gimp code and formats. However, Krayon uses xml file format like all other koffice apps and appends the binary image data in separate files and then it's all compacted into one file. Compatibility with other koffice apps and ways of doing things has to come first. While gimp's format can be imported, and is similar, I don't see how both Krayon and Gimp can use the same format natively.
thanks - John

Re: Kimageshop Has New Lease on Life as Krayon
Gimp's interface is flawed. Granted if you use it enough you will learn how to use it, but for anyone else there are many steep learning curves. Many things in Gimp are implimented from a programmers problem and not a user end problem. This is a major major GUI design error. Countless times when I don't know what to do in gimp I just try to think of how I would impliment it and then I can get it to work. So Gimp's interface may not suck, but it is wrong. If you don't believe me pick up any gui design book.

Krayon User Interface
Most of the comments here on Krayon/GIMP interfaces totally miss the point. It's not a question of whether GTK or KDE are prettier! What matters how easy it is to access the functionality of the program itself. Writing specific interface suggestions would be far more productive than repeating bland generalizations.
GIMP has a very functional and efficient scripting interface, but the GUI interface sucks for once-off quick and dirty operations that need to be performed frequently.
In short, please don't use GIMP as a model for Krayon's GUI! Photoshop is the winner in this department, hands down. It would make a lot of sense to simply copy the tried-and-loved GUI from photoshop and borrow ideas from GIMP's excellent script-fu programmer's interface and plugin design.
In my ideal world I would be using an open-soure image tool that pairs a clone of photoshop's GUI (with exactly the same keyboard shortcuts) with a coherent scripting interface that exposes ALL the functionality to both the command line and a macro interface inside the GUI.
Good luck. I wish I had more time and experience to help with the coding itself.
By Tavis Rudd at Tue, 2000/11/21 - 6:00am
Gimp keyboard shortcuts
I agree with most of your point, except what you say about the keyboard shorcuts. Gimp's keyboard shortcut system is the best I have seen in any application. You can change the shortcuts dynamically - just right-click once to bring up the menu, then as you hover your mouse over the options just press the key combination that you want, and it will change right then and there.
Rgading your gripe about Photoshop shortcuts, I also remember in earlier versions of The Gimp (I assume it's still there now, but I just go through and manually change it myself when I install, these days) there was a config file called psusers or something which contained the same keyboard shortcuts as in Photoshop, which you could then copy over your normal configs.
However, it would be nice in Krayon if it could use the global menu shortcuts configs as found in KDE2. I love that feature!

Re: Kimageshop Has New Lease on Life as Krayon
From what I know, Gimp's interface is going to be redesigned eventually so even its developers think it sucks. Personally, I found the Krayon screenshot rather obscure. There seems to be no clarity with its interface. Does anyone have a screenshot where it looks more normal?

BeOSs Gobe Productive used GIMP filters/plugins
Hey there,
I seem to remember Gobe Productive (BeOS's Office Suite) using Gimp plugins. This would seem to suggest that you can get Gimp plugins without using GTK.
I think Easel, a free (beer) drawing app for Be also used Gimp plugins. While neither of these apps were Open Source, there may be some helpful source around from these programs that could point people in the right direction. Or, I could be way off and may mislead people...
(oh yeah, for my take on things, Gimp is simply awesome. While this interface is a little confusing at first, once you get used to it it is quite straigtforward. Kinda like Photoshop.)

KIS file format
Has anyone addressed that there is a graphic file already in existance (and *very* active use) that uses the .KIS extension? It would seem that now would be a good time to change the file extension to something that would not collide with another set of programs.
For those who don't know, .kis files are multilayer graphic files with embedded scripting. Although they can be used for things like simple games and simple presentations, the vast majority of them are KIS Paper Dolls, generally Anime or Manga characters. They are very, very popular, and can be found all over the net, and people trade them at Anime conventions here in the US. They range from Hello Kitty to X-Rated characters.
Applications that view KIS files are available for almost every platform, including Win, Lin, Mac, Playstation (yes), Amiga, etc. I believe the format is French, although the name is based on the japanese work kisekae, meaning "clothes changing".
I wrote some of the core people about this many months ago... I figured now would be a good time to bring it up again.

I thought that Krayon was alive and well...
Didn't theKompany plan on adopting Krayon officially as part of their desktop application suite? It's listed on their Projects page. With the quality that their current apps are producing (Kivio, PyKDE/PyQt, etc.), I bet they have big plans for this as well. I hope they decide to use Python for the scripting, instead of Gimp-perl (ugh..) ;-). I'm sure Shawn Gorden is around... so please, tell us more, Shawn!!

Re: I thought that Krayon was alive and well...
TheKompany has it listed on their projects tab, but the link goes to KImageShop. I thought I had heard the same thing though. Anyone know anything?

Re: I thought that Krayon was alive and well...
I'm always lurking around :). Here is the deal with Krayon. We wanted to see it done, and it was stalled, so we solicited new names for the project, and someone suggested Krayon and everyone liked it, so that was it. Then I had one of my programmers working on it, he got a number of the bugs fixed and then I moved him on something else for awhile. Our support of Krayon is similar to KWord, but less formal. Given that John has jumped in so vigorously, we should probably take it off our project page.
What we are working on now specifically for Krayon is creating a kio_slave out of the gPhoto libraries. I would love to see a Konqueror plug-in that let you browse your digital camera contents :). Our intention is to help out on pieces of KOffice and KDE where we can, but KWord is the only formal committment outside of our own applications.
BTW - we have been working with John a bit, and he is an excellent programmer, I hope we can work even more together in the future.
By Shawn Gordon at Tue, 2000/11/21 - 6:00am
KDE and command line support
You know, I just got an idea when you mentioned the browsing of a digital camera through Konqueror. Would there be any possible way to implement Konqueror's browsing capability in the shell? Perhaps a kiomount or something? =)
Also useful on this subject of command line support would be something similar to the Windows "start" command. Basically a program which launches files from the shell using the program associated with that type of file.
bash$ start file.html
would both launch Konqueror
bash$ start file.mp3
would launch xmms
Just some thoughts!

Why not just use the new Gimp 2.0 backend?
The new gimp 2.0 backend is in production. The GUI is totally seperate from the imaging and effects/scripting engine and KDE can have their own front end put their own functionality and wrappers for using it as an editor in other programs. They would have the same functionality because this set of libs is totally GTK free.
Look in cvs.gimp.org and look around in gimp2 and gegl (the actual imaging system) it is going to be totally redesigned to take and use CYMK and 16-bit color channels with an advanced undo system with branches and many other cool ideas. Look at the documentation.
Makes me pee my pants as a graphic designer to have this much power.

John Perry found excellent motivation to kick several bad habits and now is nearing his weight loss goal of 60 pounds. This is a must-read that includes several tips from someone in the trenches.
I love food, and lots of it. Take me to a buffet, and I have to eat at least my money's worth. Before Daniel Plan, I would go to a leading hamburger fast food restaurant at least 4 times a week. And each time that I was there I had to drink at least 32 ounces of Dr. Pepper. I used to eat a huge breakfast every morning. On Fridays, I would not only eat that huge breakfast, but I would also add two donuts on top of that. I also do not enjoy sports. So going and playing outside was difficult for me. I look back on 6 months ago and I am amazed that I did not weigh more than I did. Did I say that I love food? I still do, but as the Apostle Paul states, "Do everything in moderation."
I started The Daniel Plan because of my 3 year old son. I love him. He is my namesake. I would start to play with him, and I would get winded quickly. I knew that I needed to lose weight so that I could keep up with him. I also want to see him get married one day. So unless the Lord tarries, this should now be no problem.
I also started it due to life insurance premiums. My agent told me that if I was just 20 pounds less, that I could save a tremendous amount of money on my policy. It was vital to me to have a good policy in place, just in case God calls me home sooner than I am planning. I do not want my wife and son to live on in poverty.
I heard about The Daniel Plan through one of Pastor Rick Warren's sermons. He seemed excited about losing 90 pounds, and I figured that if he could lose 90 then I could lose 60 pounds. He inspired me to get off of my blessed assurance and strive to be in the best shape possible.
Prayer changes everything. The Living Water desires me to drink a lot of water. I am currently drinking more than 100 ounces of water a day. Minimize caloric intake, Maximize caloric expenditure. I look at each meal and ask, "How can I reduce this meal's calorie count?" For instance, if I am eating a burrito, do I need to eat the tortilla? Does the tortilla really add the flavor that I enjoy? When I go out, I will eat half of the meal, and save the rest for the next meal. That way I get two meals for the price of one. My frugal self loves that. I also drink water or unsweetened iced tea.
I often find myself thinking, "How much exercise will I need to do to burn off this meal? How long will this meal delay my diet goals?" Just because it is a clear soda does not mean that it is healthy or less in calories. As I stated before, Dr. Pepper is my favorite soda. So I thought Sprite has to be healthier because it is clear. Wrong. It's actually just as bad. By the way, I have not had a Dr. Pepper since January 14, 2011.
I have lost a total of 55 pounds so far (my wife has lost 30 pounds.) This is equivalent to almost 25 percent of my pre-Daniel Plan weight. I went from a size 36 pants tightly, to a size 32 pants comfortably. I do not get winded nearly as quickly as I used to get when I play with my rambunctious son. My family now eats a healthier diet more often. I would not say that we are perfect due to our crazy lifestyle, but definitely better. The results go on and on.
Wow! Where do I begin?

In the lead up to this year's Le Mans 24 Hours sports car race (Sat June 22/Sun June 23), Bentley is celebrating its historical connections to the famous French endurance event, with no less than six 'Le Mans' limited edition models, inspired by victorious Bentley drivers.
Bentley participated in the inaugural 'round the clock trial, 90 years ago, and is marking the 10th anniversary of its most recent victory at Le Sarthe. After placing fourth in the first running, Bentley went on to win in 1924, then four years straight from 1924 to 1930, and again, 83 years later, in 2003.
Based on Mulsanne sedan and Continental coupe models, 48 examples of each 'Le Mans Limited Edition' will be produced, featuring a unique numbered badge, Le Mans Edition clock face, embroidered Le Mans headrests, unique tread plates and wheels as well specific interior veneers and exterior colours. At this stage, the cars will be offered in North America only.

The buck stops here for Boyle's 'Slumdog' kids...
No more money for Rubina. No car for Azhar. Danny Boyle has spoken. This time, it is final. He is not open to further negotiations. And the two slumdog kids can take a walk.
'Danny Uncle' has made it clear that his settlement terms are linked to the kids attending school on a regular basis – bunking classes (as Rubina and Azhar have been doing) means giving up the extra dosh. All this is sound, sensible stuff, coming from a person who has been pretty fair and generous. The scarey part is how such young children are being tutored to ask for more… and more. Assuming it is their greedy family members briefing them to make unreasonable demands and extort as much as they can from Danny, what sort of a nasty effect will such a venal attitude have on the bachchas later? Their lives have been touched and transformed in ways that are complex and daunting. For better or worse, they will never ever be able to adjust to their old, shabby existence of drudgery and abject poverty. But that still does not mean Danny owes them anything more than has been offered. A 25 lakhs flat for Rubina is, by any standards, a pretty good deal. But now her family has upped the demand to a 40 lakhs apartment. Tomorrow they could ask for 1 crore. Where does it stop? Azhar insists he wants a 'small car' because he is suddenly 'scared' to travel by auto rickshaw! This is not about whether Danny can afford to finance these fresh demands. It is about greed and exploitation. Such a pity that the children are being dragged through this unfortunate mess. Well…. the buck stops here, says Boyle. Go back to school, say his trustees. Or risk losing the promised bonanza. My guess is that the families of the kids will try their best to squeeze every extra rupee out of the two golden geese – education be damned. In which case, they'll end up losing it all – the money, home or the chance to work with Boyle again.
I must pump Arjun Rampal's hand the next time I meet him. By speaking up about the fiasco at Rohit Bal's fashion show in Delhi, he has opened a can of worms. About time someone had the guts to point out just how hideously commercial the fashion scenario has become of late. This whole business of getting Bollywood showstoppers initially started as a gimmick. Designers who had a good relationship with star clients, got their buddies to walk the ramp for them, knowing their presence would generate great press. This progressed to the stars plugging their favourite designers and getting them hired for their movies. What followed was minor and major stars asking for big , fat fees to walk. Sensing the potential of such an arrangement, everybody jumped into the fray. The publicity generated was worth the money spent. Stars realized very quickly that by strutting across the catwalk for two minutes, they could pocket a cool 30 lakhs or more AND make it to the front pages of most dailies, plus hog tv prime time, too. Soon fat cat producers bought into the game and started to use this platform for promoting their forthcoming films. Big money was offered to designers\sponsors to hire a star jodi and derive extra mileage for an unreleased film. This cosy arrangement was working well - till Arjun broke the bhanda, after he and Dino were unceremoniously dumped at the last minute, with Katrina and Ranbir hotstepping it, instead. We are also equally sick of seeing Bollywood stars on the covers of fashion magazines , which somehow make them look ridiculous and unattractive by styling them in an exaggerated way that strips them of their personality completely. Editors claim they are helpless – issues featuring movie stars outsell issues featuring professional models, ten to one! Maybe. But frankly, if readers want to see Bollywood stars on the covers of glossies, they can pick up any one of the countless fanzines. It really is time for fashion to reclaim fashion. And do so on its own terms.
Oh dear, Oh dear.... I fear I made myself MOST unpopular with a group of high school and college students who were running a mock United Nations event at Jaihind College. I bet they wished they'd never invited me! Well.... they had.... so there I was at their concluding function at which prizes were to be given and speeches made. Since I'd been told about their newsletter called 'The Ugly Truth', I asked for copies . Big mistake!! Had someone informed me it was not a newsletter per se, but an irreverent, daily scandal sheet meant strictly for the delegates, I would have saved my fire. But the kind of cheap comments and blatantly sexist remarks I read, made me see red.... and blue.... and purple. I let fly.... especially since most of the cracks were aimed at a guy called Bucky. He was mercilessly mocked for being gay or 'swinging both ways'! I flew to the defence of Bucky....gays the world over, and was frothing at the mouth, berating the editors for being homophobic etc. Guess what?? Right after I'd finished my tongue lashing, some 'delegates' came upto me to say it was really okay to crack those jokes, and that Bucky LOVED the attention. Ooooops! One guy explained in all seriousness, " Gays are totally cool with it. It's like Blacks in America calling one another 'nigger'. It's just a joke - no offence."
I want to ask you blogdosts out there if this is really so ????? Did I miss something??????????

Yeah, blacks in America call one another nigger, as you say, but God forbid a white person would call them that, even without any racist intent: they scream racism! Not being a fakir for reading people's minds (do fakirs do that too?), you had no way of knowing Bucky was "totally cool with it"... So good for you for raising hell!

Yes, I think you missed a BIG point here Shobhaa, and that is of the whole publishing (read:journalism and reporting) is being sucked into a black hole of commercialization of news and the whole era of "breaking news" marketing. And the seeds of irresponsible reporting or writing are being sown in magazines such as the ones at Jai Hind college.

Even if Bucky didn't mind the homophobic jokes, it was surely in bad taste - especially when its done in a mock UN.

Point 1: Slumdog kids have just proved that Beggars ( No offense) CAN be choosers. When a person earning 50000 RS a month buys a 25 lakh house and repays the loan for 20 years, these families ahould eb grateful for just having a non-leaking roof over their heads.
Point 2: I fully agree. Bollywood is all over the place right from Cricket to Fashion shows. Maybe it is high time to cool off, but it is the media needs to be less starstruck and not the common readers/viewers. Deaddict the viewrs from Bollywood.
Point 3: Everyone has the right to opinion. Just like religion, politics and other sentiments, h-phobia is another sentiment. Some people agree and some dont. As long as there is no violence, let people form their own opinions.

Firstly on the slumdog kids. It is not entirely surprising that the kids are being used as pawns and empowered by their families for financial and other gains. It happens to families of all classes even here in the US ( not sure if you remember McCauly Caulkin) and of course here in the US its rampant abuse by custodial parents of divorced families that abuse their custodial power and use their children as pawns to get back at the non custodial spouses.
On the fashion front, sounds like movie stars in India have more or less lost their class in favor of the mighty rupiya!. I remember my parents talking about classy stars like Nargis Dutt, Madhubala, Ashok Kumar, Meena Kumari... in a completely different light. Its more about the image and how much you can hoard and less about the art. Bollywood looks like Shallowood.
I didnt fully catch the last part. Were these high school kids from America? This is a hard one. I think the younger generation (and this too depends on where you are from as in the deep south subtract 20 years) is much more acceptable of class, creed, color and I guess sexual preference.
I think sexual pref. still carries a stigma and "faggot" is the equivalent of nigger as a derogatory remark and starts early in teenagers. I know that blacks will call each other nigger in a comedic sense, but its not wide spread. A lot of comics use it... but not having exposed much to black and gay friends I cannot say that derogatory writing or name calling is acceptable in close circles of those groups either.
I would have reacted the same way as you did if I saw something scandalous of that nature. Thats freedom of expression gone too far. If this was being circulated in a school in the US, it would be fodder for a lawsuit. Freedom of expression is a funny thing here.. there are laws to protect defamation and civil, but then you have comedians, some press and media, talk show hosts, that will abuse it with the most filthy and abusive language you can ever imagine. Its a contradiction...
Perhaps these delegates should have spoken to you first before handing you that material :)

Dear Shobha Ma'am,
First of all i would suggest that it would be better if you demarcate your posts with a different topic instead of a series of '*********************'..
Well.. from this i got the comment for your post regarding Fashion shows and magazine covers.. i'm sorry and infact hate to do this kind of pin pointing but didn't you yourself missed-out to prioritise the issues discussed in this post based on their sensitivity ??.. But the topic for the post reads "Buck stops here for the Boyle's Slumdog kids"..just like this, for the magazines too, it's the money which matters.. at the end of the day everything boils to revenue..
Regarding the Slumdog kids, at present we could only empathise on this poor kids who are dragged into this by the greediness of their family members..
Regarding the Gay bashing jokes, I guess people should educate themselves to understand that it's a natural phenomenon in certain humans to get attracted to the same sex. I admit i used to be a homophobic once as i thought it would be a threat to societal values, but after reading about 'same sex attraction' which is also among animals, i understood that it's something the individuals cannot be blamed for... Afterall man is a social animal... As long as the relationship is consensual there's no point in bashing.. Hope people are educated enough to understand this...

I agree that these homophobic comments and jokes should not be tolerated. Students participating in a mock UN are presumably top students, future leaders, etc. They need to learn now, since they clearly have not been taught already, that just because "Bucky" says he likes the attention, that doesn't mean it's O.K.
Will they assume that all gay people are like Bucky and they can always make these sorts of remarks? Also, sadly, in situations like these, there is always a seed of malice behind the joke and a seed of shame and hurt behind Bucky's laughing face.
I must also say that I find it interesting that you felt so righteous in scolding them when, in this very blog, you have made snide remarks implying that certain public figures are gay. Trying to "out" someone in that manner or using potential homosexuality as an insult is just as bad as what these students did. So, we should all take a look at ourselves and what we consider acceptable because it might not be.

As a gay person myself I cannot believe this happened in one of the highschools in India. I do not think homophobia and gay bashing is ever classified as "cool" or in a " joking way". I think your reaction was very much valid and I don't care if Bucky is ok or not with this nonsense he does not represent the gay community. Such joking remarks get transformed into gay bashing and attacks on gays.
One of your reader Anupama says she is not homophobic but she can not see the liplock of 2 gay guys. Well Anupama I have a news for you. I am not heterophobic but I just can't watch Imraan Hashmi in a liplock with our Sherawat mam. It's disgusting and horrifying. Tell me what should I do. I ahve been sucking up this torture forever so you also better get used to it. I am just so tired of these educated hypocrites who call themselves broadminded and all but can not tolerate 2 guys holding hands or kissing openly. Let's test our open minded meter Anupama, shall we?

Dear Shobhaa,
Bucky has no choice but being "cool" about it. He obviously can't single handedly fight it out like the Bollywood protagonists do. Its a REAL world and Bucky has to watch out before raising his voice,finger or hand against all those who are 'united' in cracking jokes & mocking at him! All the hue and cry about GAY RIGHTS has done only a little difference to the big picture.
As for the Bollywood presence being felt locally and globally, it shall reach the saturation point someday. People being overfed with 'Bollywood feed' will choke on it someday for sure!
As for Rubina & Azhar, the kids lost a quarter of their innocence after they hogged the limelight.Another quarter due to the Indian media that hyped things up.Third quarter is endangered due to their families that are teaching them all about GREED...There is very little innocence that remains untouched. Whether that will be untouched or no only time can tell!

enuff of this slumdog drama, rather than focusing on these two kids and their laalchi parents, we should focus our heads and minds on the Ugly Truth that Boyle had the balls to unearth. Something that our own bollywood very incompetently depicted.
It all boils down to the fact that Boyle doesnt morally owe anything to the kids more than a pay cheque for their role. And what a shame to india, their laalchiness is making world news. Shameful. Disgusting. Huh!!!
Ramphal is no sitafal ka beej that you can throwaway get some juice with the rest on stage. Good that he made his displeasure heard.
I hate watching Bollywood Duncles (dude uncles)and Buntys (babe aunty) on stage. They should rather focus on their art and craft...
These days models dont grow into actors, they feel its their janam siddh adhikaar to enjoy both worlds.
Gay @ jaihind
Thanks for standing up against sexist comments. Yet Again. Hugs.
I seriously wouldnt mind a joke on gays. we have jokes on madarasis, sardars, parsis, sindhis etc. and so with gays. Mostly, the more we try to reason with them, we tend to encourage more gay bashing. But yes, there is some where that we need to draw a line. I have been a victim of homophobia in college, i have had grafitti pasted in all walls of my college loo "for gay sex contact Harish". i have had people laughing at me, and shunning me. But then once i got up and spoke for myself, gave my personality an individuality that it much needed. I have NEVER been bullied. Yes, there are usual jokes that are cracked, but the content of the jokes dint matter, because now i know that their intent will not dare be to bully me.
I realize now that everyone loves to bully a bully. When i stopped being a victim!! they stopped being the abuser. There is a sensitization programme that needs to be initiated in schools and colleges on sex and sexuality.
And to answer your question. Gays are definitely NOT COOL with it. But there are some which we choose to ignore.... for if we dont, it will fuel the sexist comments. Bucky might be no issue with it. But in no way is it sensible for any college document to have sexist comments... Not all will read between the lines the way the students of jai hind did.
Nothing against the college, but as a gay person in india, if i was there, i would definitely let them know that they had wronged.
You were right in your "response to the stimuli" type action...
Btw, i have to share something with you... Something that i felt very very very very nice after reading. Naturally! Im your blogdost na... and when my Blogdost gets complimented by my TwitDost it is like "sone pe suhaaga"

Well well well.
No comments on the slumdogs crap.
Coz it has just become a story of gluttonous greed.
As far as your standing for gays matter I very much agree with you cause given the circumstances I too would have done the same.And I have never seen this taken in a happy mood by gays at least.I very much despised watching Dostana,it was one shit of a movie,showing things in a wrong light which somewhere labels gays as morally wrong.
Even Pritish is going gaga over your speech,and I agree there wud b many more in Jai Hind college and even Bucky.
As far as your take on the fashion industry z concerned I would jst say that it is like the useless Aajtak channel.It shows shit but runs coz ppl want to see it.
Actors are seen as showstoppers in most f d shows coz it is we ppl who want to see them.
An avg ordinary man with not much sense f fashion myt nt wtch a rampwalk on tv but say if it has salman khan in it then that show is sure to catch eyeballs.
And today is the world where anything is done for viewership.
there is no right or wrong coz now they have become relative terms.
i don't find it wrong for actors to walk the ramp till it doesnt become boring.

I believe at one point, one of the child artists was to be traded by the parents in exchange for money, also neither of the child's parents have a job. They should be booked for child abuse & on the charges of living on the incomes generated by the two kids.
Shame on the authorities for overlooking this & beaming in the glory of their success.
Being able to laugh at oneself is healthy...it calms the ego within us.
But having to accept exclusiveness as the end result of providing comic relief to a wider, inclusive group sounds a little offensive.
Of course, like someone said, never venture into unknown territories...you know..on one of the episodes of 'THE VIEW', a similar topic came up when it was concluded that it was okay for black people to call each other the N word, but not okay for others to do so.

i feel Danny Boyle's decession is perfect. riches don't come with one success, they are earned after years of slogging... these kids must go to school and start a normal life again... they are stars, for sure, but not such that they have the right to demand so much...
about the so called newsletter that you came across- people are taking undue advantage of the name of media and journalism these days. today only a handful of journalists seem to be ethical... there are many who are known as journalists and media peolpe but truely speaking they are attention seekers in the name of media... such people are doing injustice to media...

Hi ,
Money just makes you want more , more so when you have been deprived of it! Its just human nature I guess .And Danny Boyle did the right thing ,Getting paid for what you signed up for is definitely a fair deal :)
Considering there are so many new faces in the Bollywood industry , I am not sure if this will ever pass , I guess we will have more models and less "actors" in bollywood. Aren't most industries all about making money anyway ??
I find it hard to believe that anyone would be cool with being publicly mocked.

No, it was not a joke at all.
The justification provided was of the kind that those who discriminate against others, for any reason, use to mitigate their own sense of guilt.
It is always the same story. Those who are the subject of ridicule are supposed to be 'sporting' and to 'enjoy' it all.

Create a virtual host for a custom application
Understand virtual host configuration files
Recent versions of Bitnami apps ship three configuration files in the /opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/ directory: httpd-app.conf, httpd-prefix.conf and httpd-vhosts.conf.
The httpd-app.conf file is the main configuration file for the application. It could have different content depending on the application:
<Directory "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/htdocs"> Options +MultiViews AllowOverride None <IfVersion < 2.3 > Order allow,deny Allow from all </IfVersion> <IfVersion >= 2.3> Require all granted </IfVersion> </Directory> Include /opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/htaccess.conf
For security and performance reasons, it is advisable to not set AllowOverride All to anything other than None (refer to this Apache note for more information). Bitnami applications store this configuration in the /opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/htaccess.conf file (more information).
The httpd-prefix.conf file ships the default configuration for the applications in "prefix" mode, such that the application can be accessed at (for example) http://example.com/myapp.
Alias /myapp/ "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/htdocs/" Alias /myapp "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/htdocs" Include "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/httpd-app.conf"
The httpd-vhosts.conf file contains the default configuration for virtual hosts, for applications to be accessed at (for example) http://myapp.example.com.
<VirtualHost *:8080> ServerName myapp.example.com DocumentRoot "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/htdocs" Include "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/httpd-app.conf" </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:8444> ServerName myapp.example.com DocumentRoot "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/htdocs" SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/certs/server.crt" SSLCertificateKeyFile "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/certs/server.key" Include "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/httpd-app.conf" </VirtualHost>
Define virtual host configuration
To configure your application to use a virtual host instead of the prefix URL, make these changes:
Delete the following line in the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-prefix.conf file:
Include "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/httpd-prefix.conf"
Add a new link in the /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-vhosts.conf file:
Include "/opt/bitnami/apps/myapp/conf/httpd-vhosts.conf"
- Some applications require further changes in configuration files or the database. Please check the exact changes in the application's documentation.
NOTE: After modifying the Apache configuration files, restart Apache to apply the changes.

is behind so many of the country's critical national defense programs, it's a wonder that most people haven't heard of it.
After the end of the Second World War, J. Robert Oppenheimer (the man considered to be the father of the atomic bomb and a professor at the University of California) needed to find a way to maintain the momentum of the short-term atom bomb research project.
Oppenheimer ran the Manhattan Project, the effort to collect the most brilliant minds in the United States to develop an atomic bomb. The physics super-team built the two nuclear weapons dropped on Japan from scratch. They operated out of a laboratory at Los Alamos.
Once the war was over, Oppenheimer wanted to keep the effort going. In order to retain personnel, the army renovated Oxnard Field, a former airport near Albuquerque, into the nation's primary nuclear research facility.
The Z-division, which engineered the nuclear bombs in World War Two, moved to Oxnard. Soon, the installation was referred to as "Sandia Base" after the nearby Sandia Mountains. In 1947 the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project was initiated to continue the work of the Manhattan Project with restored research efforts and secrecy.
The Sandia Lab was the successor of the Oppenheimer's atom bomb project at Los Alamos, and would go on to propel the nuclear weapons program from WWII through the Cold War.
Oppenheimer's University of California had previously managed the Los Alamos laboratory, but the school did not want to be associated with the continued development of nuclear weapons after the war. So, AT&T took over the base. They managed the national laboratory through their manufacturing branch, Western Electric.
From 1979 onward, the Z-division at Sandia base was called "Sandia National Laboratories."
Between 1947 and 1979, the scientists working at Sandia Base invented nuclear bombs that could be stockpiled, the Strypi rocket, the B61 tactical thermonuclear bomb, the Poseidon missile's re-entry vehicle, nuclear detection satellites and accident-proof nuclear waste containers. In 1973 Sandia National Labs began researching solar cells and wind energy.
In 1993, management of Sandia National Laboratories was transferred to defense contractor Martin Marietta. In 1995, Lockheed and Martin Marietta merged to form Lockheed Martin, which now owns the Sandia Corporation as a subsidiary.
These days, Sandia National Labs specifically works with the Department of Energy to handle the nuclear programs for the country.
In addition to their research in nuclear weaponry, Sandia National Labs also researches supercomputing, micro-electromechanical technology, weapons systems like the laser-guided bullet, chemistry and cyber security. They also maintain the largest X-ray generator in the world, the Z-machine.
As it stands today, Sandia remains one of the Department of Energy's most reliable sources of advanced research and Research and Development with regards to the nation's nuclear program. They also continue to perform research for defense department and the military.
