Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Console Games' started by Sparky8, May 1, 2007.
Anyone anticipating the showing at E3?
Going off how mediocre Killzone 1 was, not really.
We'll see. At least Resistance was good. Hopefully Sony will get Killzone right this time around. But I'm really anticipating bigger announcements from Sony rather than just Killzone and such.
Like the Home open beta
already available, to some
Don't you mean Killzone 2?
My thoughts tend to mimic the PS3 Song (Yes, it mentions Killzone)
Will they show more target video, or will they finally show actual gameplay?
That's the extent of my interest.
E3 will show the first real-time gameplay for Killzone, and its gonna impress.
I wish I had already seen the future E3 footage too
sorry, quote where I said I have seen it.
I DO know htey will show gameplay, and I am certain I will be impressed.
(your experience may vary, but then again, knowing your point of view makes that somewhat obvious)
What I'm excited about is that Sony is really being hush hush about their latest titles. So they will impress, just as they impressed us with Little Big Planet and Home. What I'm waiting to see is in-game footage of MGS4.
The PSP version was Killzone 2, so theyve changed it. Not certain but most likely, look at the tech vid at GDC it just said Killzone so theyve likely not made a final decision
The footage they showed at E3 got me pretty excited and I was expecting the game at the launch of PS3.
hopefully we see some gameplay this time around, eh?
they did closed door presentation at GDC, but it was a physics demo only.
There was no intention to show off graphics....but you can bet they will show off their engine to its fullest extent at E3.

The Student Council is an elected group of students who work together to represent the pupils of our school. From Year 2 to Year 6 each class has two representatives, one boy and one girl. Children who serve on the council volunteer for the role. They have to give a short election speech explaining why they should be on the council. The class then privately vote for two children to represent them. The children appear to enjoy this voting experience and it results in an enthusiastic and committed Student Council. The elected children will then serve on the council for six months.
Meetings are usually held every fortnight during lunchtime. During these meetings we discuss a wide range of topics. Children have the opportunity to raise any issues that they and their fellow pupils maybe concerned about, using their class suggestion boxes. The council then discuss the most important issue and work on this. This often involves children liaising with Mrs Sinclair and the school governors. We also discuss ideas for fundraising, and decide how to spend our funds. The children also produce a termly newsletter to keep everyone informed of our work. The children also take on a long term goal which assists the school. This time, it is to look after and maintain the presentation of the school. The children elected to implement a 'Freshen up Friday'. The children have promoted this idea around school. Each year groups selects an area of the school to tidy and organise, including our school grounds. The student council are a consistent and strong presence in the school, and are keen to make community links by helping out with such events as the Christmas Craft Fayre and Fair Trade events.
Mrs Lankford
Change 4 Life
As part of Change 4 life, Student council have chosen to set mini missions that will help the children of our school make healthy choices. The council met and decided upon 5 missions that would help us all be healthier by thinking twice or making small changes. Each class was given a set of 5 missions. The idea is that as a class, they choose a mission for the week and encourage each other to follow it.
The children designed and prepared a set of mission cards for each class and presented these in assembly after explaining what to do. Student Council will then assess the impact of the missions before Easter Break by asking their class for feedback and further suggestions to keep our school healthy.
Freshen up Friday
Christmas Craft Fayre
The Student Council and Art Club assisted in the planning and preparation of a Whole School Christmas Craft Fayre to raise funds for the Student Council. Each child in school made a craft to sell, using a wide variety of techniques and skills. The school welcomed the local community to join in the festivities with a raffle, festive café, cakes and a wide array of hand crafted gifts for sale.
The Fayre was a big success. We raised almost £400 for the school.
Many thanks to all the helpers, bakers and customers. To view photographs please click on the link below

After garnering both critical acclaim and commercial success of monster proportion, the Chak De India team of Yash Raj Films, Shimit Amin and Jaideep Sahni are back again with Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year starring the talented Ranbir Kapoor.
It is a matter of great delight that Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year has been selected in the 6th edition of the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) which will take place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates between December 9th – 16th, 2009. The film will be part of the Gala Celebration of Indian Cinema section of the Out of Competition DIFF programme and will be a World Premiere of the movie. The screening is scheduled on 10th December 2009 at 19:00 hrs, in Madinat Arena Cinema.
Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year is the sometimes thoughtless, sometimes thoughtful story of a fresh graduate trying to find a balance between the maddening demands of the 'professional' way, and the way of his heart – and stumbling upon a crazy way which turned his world upside down, and his career right side up. Welcome to the world of sales, boss!
Now in its sixth year, DIFF 2009 is held in association with Dubai Studio City and supported by Dubai Culture and Arts Authority. Since its first edition in 2004, DIFF has established itself as an important cultural event in Dubai and the UAE. There has been a remarkable growth in the number of films presented and an increased interest in audience numbers. The festival has also seen a similar growth in the attendance of key international and regional filmmakers, industry professionals and members of the local, regional and international press.
Ranbir Kapoor, Shimit Amin and Jaideep Sahni have been especially invited by the Dubai International Film Festival to attend the festival this year.
Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year releases worldwide on 11th December 2009.

In the world of the pro-Sharia Muslim Brotherhood front known as the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), my work exposing the activities of Islamic jihadists and the ways in which they use Islamic texts and teachings to justify violence and supremacism constitutes "hate" and "incitement to violence." They think they found confirmation of this in the murder spree of Norwegian psychopath Anders Breivik, since he cited me (along with John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, Barack Obama, the New York Times, and a host of others) in his lengthy and ideologically incoherent "manifesto."
"ICNA Condemns Terrorist Attacks in Norway," from ICNA, July 24 (thanks to Answering Muslims):
The perpetrator of these attacks was a racist, hateful fascist with a 1500-page manifesto and deliberate plan. He was both xenophobic and Islamophobic and was in contact with numerous European and American anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim personalities. We are horrified that such violence was borne from these views.
The rise of Islamophobia fostered by individuals such as Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller has threatened our communities and prompted such acts of violence. ICNA calls upon the international community and the Obama administration to take action against hate groups and so-called "˜experts on Islam" who promote this kind of bigotry.
In reality, the idea that any of the counter-jihad activists and writers who the mainstream media and Islamic supremacists have blamed for the Norway attacks is actually responsible for them is absurd, and not just because we have never called for or justified violence. When two people or groups share a belief or perspective, and one of them starts killing, the other is in no way responsible. Otherwise Martin Luther King would be responsible for the Watts riots — and CAIR and ICNA for Islamic jihad terror.
Indeed, it is ironic that the Islamic supremacist groups that are trying to shut down the counter-jihad movement by claiming that our views lead to violence at the same time hotly deny that there is any connection between Islamic teachings and jihad violence — even though Islamic jihadists routinely point to those teachings as their motivation.
The ICNA Islamic supremacist blame game is part of a larger initiative. The 57-government Organization of Islamic Cooperation has been working for years to compel the governments of the U.S. and Europe to criminalize all critical discussion of Islam, thereby rendering them unable to investigate the motives and goals of jihad terrorists, and thus mute and defenseless against the advancing jihad. A key component of this effort in the U.S. today is to demonize and marginalize all the voices speaking out for the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, and the equality of rights of all people — all denied by Islamic law.
This blame game is a threat to the freedom of every American.
And remember: the Muslim Brotherhood, of which ICNA is an arm, is dedicated in its own words to "eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within, and sabotaging its miserable house."

WASHINGTON — Calling the space shuttle expensive, fragile and technically demanding to operate, a panel plotting the next 50 years of space travel recommends developing a new generation of improved launch vehicles.
``Cheaper, more reliable means of transporting both people and cargo to and from orbit must be achieved in the next 20 years,`` the National Commission on Space said in a report to President Reagan.
The Orlando Sentinel obtained a copy of the report, which is scheduled for release Saturday. Some parts of the report already have been publicized.
If the United States fails to build better vehicles, ``the nation must face the probability that other nations will rapidly overtake our position as the world`s leading spacefaring nation,`` the report said.
The 15-member commission, appointed by Reagan a year ago, recommends developing three types of passenger and cargo spacecraft. The new vehicles would be part of a space timetable that includes mining of the moon and asteroids, and establishment of a manned base on Mars by 2027.
The commission, made up of some of the nation`s top space and technical experts, called the Jan. 28 shuttle destruction ``a temporary interruption in our nation`s primary launch system`` and said it would not affect the report`s long-term recommendations. But much of the plan is based on having a space station in orbit by the mid-1990s. If construction of the station is canceled or delayed, the group`s proposals would be stymied, said spokesman Leonard David.
The commission hailed the shuttle as ``a technological triumph and a magnificent achievement,`` but said its design suffered because one vehicle was required to do too many things.
Although the shuttle may become more useful in the future, its operation costs never will be greatly reduced, the commission said.

DENVER– If it's tough to pin down Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper on gun-control legislation, a bigger challenge is assessing his support for unions. Though Hickenlooper has distanced himself from a pro-union bill, he appointed a teachers' union boss to become a university trustee.
The Senate debated Thursday Hickenlooper's appointment of Colorado Education Association union boss Anthony "Tony" Salazar to the Board of Trustees of the University of Northern Colorado.
"We need to really ask the governor what his intentions are here," said state Sen. Scott Renfroe (R-Greeley). "Why are we potentially putting this conflict in play?"
Salazar is the CEO of the state's most powerful union which has bankrolled numerous Democrats' campaigns and leads the charge for a statewide tax hike to fund public schools.
One of the conflicts, Renfroe said, is that Salazar represents K-12 school teachers as well as higher education professors and staffs. Salazar's day job is negotiating higher pay and benefits for education professionals.
Renfroe asked how Salazar will simultaneously balance his responsibilities as a union boss with the higher education trustee position.
"How do you reconcile that? And where will your allegiance be?" Renfroe said he asked Salazar.
"His answer (was) we need a bigger pie, we need more money," asserted Renfroe.
"But that's not the reality," said the lawmaker, noting the constraints of balancing the state budget. He voiced concerns that Salazar would favor taking money from public schools for higher education – or increase college tuition again.
"Do you want the head of the teachers' union, whose job is to increase membership and to increase benefits for his members, to be the trustee at… one of the major colleges in our state?" Renfroe asked his peers.
"I'm a teacher," protested state Sen. Andy Kerr (D-Lakewood) who found it offensive that Salazar's union boss job was a point of contention.
"It's unfair to judge a person's ability by their profession," steamed Kerr, a curriculum specialist for Jefferson County School District and whose campaign was CEA fueled.
Kerr said there are teachers in both the House and the Senate who have been qualified to discuss and balance funding for K-12 schools and higher education.
But Renfroe countered that there's a big difference between being appointed by the governor to a board of trustees versus being elected by 150,000 constituents to represent them in the legislature.
"(Salazar) admitted he has no ties to UNC," said Renfroe. "He's never lived in northern Colorado."
A graduate of the University of Denver in 1994, Salazar joined the CEA in 2001 as a lobbyist. He previously worked as associate budget director at the University of Colorado System Office and as a research associate in the Office of Legislative Council.
"I rise in support of my friend Tony Salazar," declared state Sen. Pat Steadman (D-Denver). "We've all spent too much time talking about his day job and his qualifications. I want to speak about his character and his intelligence."
Steadman said he's known Salazar since his stint at the Office of Legislative Council nearly 20 years ago. And that experience, he said, gives Salazar unique knowledge of the budget mechanisms for higher education funding.
"I think he's a man of integrity," said Steadman, "and he'll serve honorably."
Salazar's appointment to serve a four-year trustee term was approved on a 21-14 vote on a party line division with the exception of state Sen. Larry Crowder (R-Alamosa) who voted with the majority party.
Hickenlooper issued a statement last month in opposition to a bill that would mandate fire fighter unions on municipalities and rural districts. Then, the governor seemed to be hinting that he would veto the bill if passed by the legislature.

A universal guide for China studies
Chinese History - The Non-Chinese peoples and states of the northeast
Encoding: Unicode (UTF-8) [Location: HOME > History > neighbors > northeast][bottom]
Northeastern peoples and states:
Bohai (Korean: Parhae) 渤海This realm in modern Manchuria was founded by a people named Mohe, and during the first period of the Bohai empire the realm was also called Mohe 靺鞨, or Zhenguo 震國. Old Chinese historians identify the old inhabitants of Manchuria, the Sushen 肅慎 and Yilou 挹婁 or Wuji 勿吉, as ancestors of the Mohe. During the Three Kingdoms (Sanguo) 三國 period the Mohe freed themselves the sovereignity of the Fuyu kingdom 夫余 and sent presents and tributes to the Chinese dynasties. During the Sui Dynasty 隋 the seven tribes of the Wuji are said to have adopted the name Mohe, the largest and mightiest tribe being the Sumo-Mohe 粟末靺鞨. The Sumo submitted to the Sui Dynasty, while the other tribes of the Mohe became subjects of the Korean Koguryŏ kingdom (Chinese: Gaogouli 高句麗). In the next decades most tribes of the Mohe traveled back to the origin territory more north of the Liao River 遼河. In 698 a chieftain named Da Zuorong 大祚榮 who was enfeoffed by the Tang Dynasty 唐 as Prince of the Commandery Bohai 渤海郡王 founded the Zhen empire and was acknowledged by the Tang court as regional ruler installed by Tang. The first capital of the Bohai kingdom was located near Dunhua 敦化/Jilin, but soon shifted to Longquan 龍泉 (modern Ning'an 寧安/Heilongjiang). During the whole Tang period, the Bohai kingdom controlled the northeast within the Amur River until the sea.
Under the influence of the Tang empire, the administration system of the Bohai kingdom was shaped in a style similar to the Tang administration system with three departments (sansheng 三省) and six ministries (liubu 六部) in the central government, and with prefectures (fu 府 and zhou 州) and counties (xian 縣) as local administration structure. The military was organized in 16 guards (shiliuwei 十六衛). Likewise, the economy of the Bohai kingdom assimilated to the Chinese economical conditions and situations because the southern territories of Bohai were inhabited by numerous Chinese. The nomad Mohe people, once engaging in stockbreeding, started to cultivate field crops, in summer even wet rice, and planted mulberry trees. "International" trade was undertaken with the neighboring states and peoples, the Turks, Tang China, Korea, and Japan. Court nobles of Bohai like Pei Ting 裴頲 and Da Mouze 大某則 composed Chinese poems. the end of the 9th century on some northern tribes of the Mohe began to fight for independency the central government. In 926 the Bohai kingdom collpsed under the attacks of the neighboring Khitan realm 契丹.
The capitals of Bohai were five, following the pattern of the Tang that had a central capital with several secondary capitals:
Fuyu (Korean: Puyŏ) 夫余 (扶余)People settling in modern Manchuria, a tribe belonging to the Tungus ethnics (Altaic language family), appearing at the end of Warring States period (Zhanguo 戰國). the time of emperor Han Wudi 漢武帝 on the Fuyu rulers payed tributes to the Chinese court and were formally administered as the Chinese commandery Xuantu 玄莵. Until the end of Eastern Han (Donghan 東漢) the Fuyu rulers pursued the politics of submitting to the Chinese and withstanding the attacks of the Xianbei鮮卑tribes and the army of the Korean kingdom of Koguryŏ (Chinese: Gaogouli 高句麗). After the end of Han, Fuyo had good relationships with the Chinese potentates of the northeast, the Gongsun 公孫 clan. In 285, the Xianbei general Murong Hui 慕容廆 crushed the Fuyu kingdom, king Yilü 依慮 killed himself. His son Yiluo 依羅 was able to reestablish the power of Fuyu until 483 when the belligerent kingdom of Koguryŏ conquered Fuyu. The remnants of the Fuyu people settled in the area of the rivers Nenjiang 嫩江 and Songhua 松花 (Heilongjiang). The Fuyu kingdom had its own administration in units (jia 加) named after animals (horse-unit, dog-unit, etc.). The aristocracy employed many servants or slaves (xiahu 下戶). The Fuyu cultural relics show clear influences of China.
Mohe (Korean: Malgal) 靺鞨The Mohe are a people roaming the area of modern Manchuria (Heilongjiang province) the 5th century CE until the 10th century. At the end of the 7th century they founded the kingdom of Bohai 渤海. Traditional Chinese historians identify the Mohe as the same people like the Sushen 肅慎, Yilou 挹婁, and Wuji 勿吉. During the Sui period 隋 the Wuji renamed themselves Mohe. Their most important tribes were the Sumo 粟末, Boduo 伯咄, Anchegu 安車骨, Funie 拂涅, Haoshi 號室, Heishui 黑水, and Baishan 白山, the Sumo being the southernmost tribe, the Heishui the northernmost; a chieftain was called damofumanduo 大莫弗瞞咄. Besides stockbreeding - especially pigs - they produced field crops like wheat and millet. They lived in houses with stamped floor. During the Tang Dynasty 唐 some Mohe chieftains presented their tribute to the Tang court and were installed as local governors with Chinese titles like regional inspector (cishi 刺使) or commander-in-chief (dudu 都督) for the Tang administration. While the Heishui chieftains acted as governors of the northeastern area command (Heishui dudufu 黑水都督府) during the first half of the 8th century, the southern Sumo tribe united with some nobles of the Korean Koguryŏ kingdom (Chinese: Gaogouli 高句麗) and founded the Bohai kingdom.
Shiwei 室韋Also written 失韋, might be a tribe of the Xianbei 鮮卑, as pronunciation is similar, or of the Khitan (Chinese: Qidan 契丹). Not very much is known of this people that appeared at the end of the north-south division and roamed the area of the west of modern Heilongjiang province and north of the River Amur. Their economy was partially nomad, with cattle breeding as main source of income, and partially agricultural. Their chieftains were called moheduo 莫賀咄 or yumofumanduo 余莫弗瞞咄. They brought tributary presents to the Tang 唐 court and disappeared in the 10th century with the foundation of the Liao empire 遼. See also Bohai 渤海.
Sushen 肅慎The Sushen were the first people inhabiting the area of modern Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces mentioned in Chinese records. They were active during the Western Zhou period (Xizhou 西周) and had relationships with the northern fiefdom Yan 燕. Chinese histories tell that they were later called Yilou 挹婁. Archeological relics in the northeastern area are attributed to the Xituanshan Culture 西團山文化 and show that the people of this culture was certainly the Tungus branch of the Altaic peoples.
Wuji 勿吉 > See Mohe
Xi 奚Said to be a tribe of the Xiongnu 匈奴 or Xianbei 鮮卑 federation, roaming the area between modern Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang province. This nomad steppe people was subjugated by the Northern Wei (Beiwei 北魏) in 388. When the Northern Wei Dynasty disengaged, the Xi (or Kumoxi 庫莫奚; Turkish: Tatabi) divided into five divisions of which the tribe of chieftain (irkin, Chinese: yijin 俟斤) Ahui 阿會 was the mightiest. After a short period of submission to the Turks, the Xi presented their tributs to the new-founded Tang Dynasty 唐. Their territory was administered as protectorate (dudufu 都督府) Raole 饒樂, and their chieftain granted the surname Li 李 of the Tang emperors (a method also often used by the Han Dynasty 漢 of the family Liu 劉). The Xi were allowed to govern their own territory autonomously as long as they accepted their dependance of the Tang court. Xi rulers were even bestowed the title of Prince (wang 王) and were given Chinese princesses. The whole 8th century there was an intensive trade with social and cultural exchange with Tang China, but form the 9th century on the Xi tribes disengaged and divided into an eastern and a western branch. At the same time the Khitan (Chinese: Qidan 契丹) won strength and power and incorporated the rest of the Eastern Xi tribes (Liubu Xi 六部奚) into their empire of Liao 遼. Their mightiest chieftain was given the title of Prince and run his own subcourt (Xiwangfu 奚王府) at the Liao capital. For administration, many Chinese officials were employed, and Chinese peasants were robbed and resettled in the area of the Six Xi. Emperor Liao Shenzong dissolved the Xi subcourt but installed a secondary capital within the old Xi territory. The Xi people at that time partially followed the traditional nomad lifestyle, but also cultivated fields. With the conquest of the Jurchen (Chinese: Ruzhen 女真) and their foundation of the Jin Dynasty 金 the Xi belonged to this new empire. The Xi empire, founded by Xiao Gan 蕭幹 (Huilibao 回離保) only survived eight months. The Jurchen installed their own generals as governors of the Xi commandery (Jurchen-Chinese: meng'an mouke 猛安謀克), and their people merged with the Jurchen and the Chinese.

Building a port in Broward County in the depths of the Depression was considered something of a miracle, and the city fathers of Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood decided that the new harbor rated a noisy sendoff.
Dynamite was selected as the explosive of choice. Picked to set off the charge was none other than President Calvin Coolidge himself.
On Washington`s Birthday, 1928, explosives were set to blow away a small earthen dam, which would then open the channel that connected the new port to the ocean. In Washington, the President would detonate the charge by pressing a button.
At the port, virtually the entire population of Fort Lauderdale waited for the explosion. And waited. And waited.
Generally rated as a ``do-nothing`` president, Silent Cal once again did nothing. Had he forgotten to push the button or had the long-distance relay simply failed?
Finally, engineers at the harbor set off the charge themselves, the crowd cheered and the dedication was declared a success.
For boosters of the port, the wait had been considerably longer. As far back as the 1890s a port had been a dream of community leaders, who wanted Lake Mabel, sometimes called Bay Mabel, reshaped into a turning basin just across from the inlet.
Fort Lauderdale builder Ed King first suggested the idea to railroad baron Henry Flagler, whose Model Land Company owned the lake and the land around it. Later, in 1913, the Deep Water Harbor Company was incorporated to build the port. The company didn`t last out the year.
Eleven years later, during the Florida land boom, developer Joseph W. Young bought 1,440 acres in the name of the Hollywood Harbor and Development Company. He dreamed of a great world seaport to be called Hollywood Harbor.
But the boom collapsed, and with it Young`s chances of finishing the job. Near the end of 1927, the First National Bank of Fort Lauderdale informed the Broward County Port Authority it could not honor a BCPA check since it would have left the bank with virtually no funds. The Fort Lauderdale Bank and Trust Company then agreed to take over the troubled bank, providing a home for the authority`s deposits.

Israel launched the heaviest attack in more than two years against Palestinian guerrilla bases in southern Lebanon Tuesday, knocking out or badly damaging dozens of gun emplacements and military positions and killing at least 25 people.
It was the second strike into Lebanon in four days. On Friday, Israeli seaborne troops blew up a Palestinian jeep, killing one person and wounding four others near Sidon.
The strike was ordered by Prime Minister Menachem Begin in his capacity as defense minister, and was condemned by Egypt as a new obstacle to peace and by the US Embassy in Beirut.

The Rock Gushes Over Newborn Daughter "Christmas Came Early"
"The Rock" Johnson and girlfriend Lauren Hashian welcomed daughter Jasmine into the world on Dec. 16.
The Rock' Johnson & Partner Lauren Hashian
Last week, Dwayne became a dad for the second time, welcoming his second daughter into the world on Wednesday 16 December.
He is already dad to 14-year-old Simone from a previous relationship and proving he is in love with his daddy duties, the actor and WWE star gushed about being a father to fans.
Taking to the photo-sharing app, The Rock treated his followers to the first photo of his baby girl and it's totally adorable.
In his picture, Dwayne can be seen lying down with little Jasmine on his chest all wrapped up. Alongside his post, he paid a lengthy tribute to his newborn and his daddy duties, writing: "Christmas came early! Within minutes of being born she was laying on daddy's chest. And being a grateful man takes on a whole new meaning... Thank you guys so much for the awesome congratulatory wishes and love you've been sending and myself. We're extremely grateful.
He added: "Kinda crazy but in this cool and powerful skin to skin bonding moment with my newborn baby Jasmine, I had just one wish I asked the universe... Give me the strength to be a better man today than I was yesterday. If I can accomplish that, then I'd have a good shot at being a great father.
"To all you young men out there who will be fathers one day, the goal of "being better" will never steer you wrong. Trust me I've been down this road."
Opening up about Jasmine's birth, he said: "I was right there during labour, helping her breathe, every highly intense contraction, every second of pain, right there watching the actual birth, cutting the cord and wiping the tears. Incredible."
Jasmine is Dwayne's first child with his long term girlfriend Lauren Hashian. They first announced they were expecting a child together back in September.

A World Away ― Camellias
This post is part of a series I'm calling A World Away (it begins on January 28th). The sight of these camellias in full bloom is one of the best ways I know to banish the winter blues.
Nearly 200 years ago the fashion among the privileged class in Boston was growing camellias in glasshouses to provide rare winter bloom. The sight of them blooming this winter is a tonic for the soul.
Camellias are native to southeastern Asia, belong to the small plant family, Theaceae or tea family, and there are three distinct groups. Much remains to be discovered about this genus, which occurs over a wide area that is mountainous and rugged, and where little botanical work has been done. New species are still being discovered.
To learn more, visit the American Camellia Society.

50+ in 30
Beset, overwhelmed, major case of cabin fever ― all describe how we humans are feeling after more than 50 inches of snow have fallen in the last 30 days.
Now, think of the wildlife. Winter is always a struggle for them (unless you happen to be a wolverine), but this much snow on the ground makes it nearly impossible for wildlife to forage or travel any distance to find food.
The flock of wild turkeys is doing what comes naturally in a severe weather event like this ― staying put and relying on sheltered roosting sites, fresh water, birdseed and evergreens. They're very resourceful, finding insects hidden inside window mullions and along bare patches where the house foundation meets gravel and earth. But it's rough going.
Wait it out, that's all we can do.

Cold Turkey
They may be tough, but these turkeys could use a break during what has become an especially hard winter. We've had six storms with record snowfalls since the year began and in this part of Massachusetts the snow banks are waist high. Tonight, temperatures are falling well below zero, and arctic winds that have been howling since sunset will make it feel even colder.
However, I'm betting that this flock, 17 strong, will survive. Five mature Toms, six Hens and six young birds, born last spring, seem like a good combination. The Toms and Hens are experienced and know how to find food even in deep snow. I've observed them pecking for insects inside patches of treebark, eating hemlock pinecone seeds, which are still abundant, and they're experts at finding rose hips and other fruits that still linger on many trees and shrubs.
These turkeys will eat some birdseed but seem to regard it as just a supplement. Still, this winter every bit helps, like fresh, clean water in the heated birdbath and stands of tall trees to roost in at night. It's impressive to watch the flock fly up to their roosts. Just as the sun lowers in the sky they become restless and begin flapping their wings and scuttling up and down the road. Then, one by one, they fly skyward on some cue, perceptible to them alone. The young birds perform a kind of runway ritual in order to get the altitude required to fly to the highest tree branches. The Toms do a quick hop dance, but the Hens are the most graceful and usually the first to fly. The last bird up is a Tom; he waits until everyone gets safely to bed before going up himself.
Red foxes are out and about these nights. They returned two weeks ago to establish their dens and rendezvous with their mates. During a morning snowstorm last week, a red fox slept on a mound of snow just beyond a hemlock grove where the flock of turkeys had taken cover and were preening. His red coat stood out garishly against the white ground, and his massive tail looked like a warm muff curled around his head. The turkeys were not nervous as long as he was within sight.
Some people talk about "the dead of winter," but when you observe wildlife you understand how wrong that notion is. In my corner of the world winter is very much alive. Wild turkeys strut and call as the day warms up and red foxes are claiming their dens to mate. A new life cycle is already beginning and Spring will arrive in only six more weeks.
Looking up into the trees at night and seeing the dark shapes of sleeping turkeys against a starlit sky is enormously comforting and brings me a great deal of joy. Even the coldest night skies can be magical and beautiful. During last week's Full Wolf Moon, I could have sworn that the stars actually glittered as I watched the sky turn a silvery blue.
When I come and go on these winter nights, I find myself wondering what wild turkeys think about in their treetop roosts beneath the stars. And even after I enter my warm, bright home, I wish somehow I could be a part of their world as much as they have become a part of mine.

Moonshadow has a minor eye infection and just getting the medication into her eye is a real challenge because she puts up such a fuss.
So, when her Mom asked if I would come by and help, I was happy to oblige because I like tending to animals, and because it seemed like some eerie karmic mission, which I wanted to accept.
My beloved Maine Coon cat Rachmaninoff developed an eye infection when he was just a kitten, but the breeder chose not to treat him because he was born with a heart murmur, which meant that he would not fetch her a good price. And so, she dumped him, but fortunately, he fell into the hands of some incredibly dedicated people who cherish this breed and all animals.
Weeks later, Fate brought him to me and the first thing I did was take him to a veterinary ophthalmologist. Sadly, the infected eye was permanently damaged by then, but Rock's vision in his good eye was perfect and he went on to live a normal and happy life. The veterinary ophthalmologist called the breeder's negligence "withholding medication for a treatable condition."
Putting medicine in Moonie's eye reminded of the days when my Rock was still with me. Though it's now going on two years since he died, I continue to miss him very much.
At last, this Moonchild is on the mend!

The Secret Lives of Eels
Eels have long held a fascination for me for reasons I can't quite explain. I have been known to purchase adult eels at bait shops only to set them free (they spend their adult lives in fresh water) because it pains me so to see these wild, wide-roaming fish confined. I know that the eels I release may end up as captives again, but whatever freedom I can give them seems worthwhile.
Overfishing and a never-ending demand for eels in Asia is putting enormous pressure on these fish. Eels are also taken from our own waters (Maine is the most active eel fishery) and shipped to markets in Japan and China. I believe that under most circumstances, removing a creature from its wild habitat is wrong anyway. But then to ship eels, as if they were merely merchandise and not living beings, thousands of miles away to be "consumed" by people who regard them only as food and do not value their important role in marine ecology, well, I find that downright disturbing. I know it's happening every day but that doesn't make it right.
Eels, like other fish and animals have become "products" of a consumer mentality that demonstrates how disconnected we are from the origins of our food. The decline of eels is another example of how mankind takes more than he needs again and again to satisfy his insatiable desire for profit. I am sorry to see these magical and ancient creatures caught up in our industrial wheel. They face enough obstacles in their efforts to perpetuate their own kind.
There is still so much we don't understand about the life cycle of eels. In many ways, like Prosek, I hope we never do; that is part of their mystique and it may ensure their survival. However, protecting them is becoming critical and such knowledge can be used to preserve the species.
I have met some Maori people on my own travels in New Zealand, and so I was not suprised to learn that they revere eels. "On Earth, the movements of eels make the rivers flow. The eel is integral to everything," say some Maori.
Without the amazing work of underwater photographer David Doubilet, this story would not be as compelling as it is. Click here to read more about him and his incredible images. Below is an excerpt from National Geographic:
"…The migrations millions of adult eels make from rivers across oceans must be among the greatest unseen journeys of any creature on the planet, spanning thousands of miles. Along the way they face a long list of dangers: hydroelectric dams, river diversions, pollution, disease, predation (by striped bass, beluga whales, and cormorants, among others), and increasingly, fishing by humans. Now, with climate change, another potential disaster looms: shifts in ocean currents that may confound eels during their migrations. Regrettably, although sublime in the eyes of some, the eel is not likely to be the poster child for a conservation movement anytime soon."

New Year, New Life
Who would have guessed that the year 2011 would bring such good fortune to this pair of Siamese cats? I met Jade (Chocolate Point, 14) and her daughter Moonshadow (Blue Point, 9) in October, just days after their mother had passed away, and immediately began a campaign to find them a new home.
I felt certain that an absolutely wonderful home was already waiting for them and had a strong sense that the people who would dearly want Jade and Moonie had recently lost a cat of their own.
I turned to my amazing network of animal friends who did their utmost to help me get the word out. But it was slow going and the wait became disheartening. Then, one day I received a message from a family who wrote to tell me that they had recently lost a beloved Siamese and that his mate was disconsolate. Would they be able to meet Jade and Moonie? And would I like to meet their lonely and grieving boy to get a sense of whether all three would get along?
Theirs was the perfect home I had envisioned, filled with love and laughter. A box in the family room overflowed with cat toys, photographs of beloved Siamese that had lived out their lives filled frames and photo albums. These were long time Siamese lovers who knew and understood the breed. Their boy was sad but allowed me to hold him in my arms and kiss his cheek! Looking into his eyes, I sensed he was ready to make a new start.
On New Year's Day Jade and Moonie left the only home they had ever known to begin a new life just a few miles away. It was a blessing that they were able to remain in their familiar surroundings until their new home was found, but without their mother, that home had become a monument to grief and loss.
Siamese cats often live into their twenties and having a new lease on life and a brother to play with may make the coming years some of the happiest Jade and Moonie have known. They will be much loved by people who understand that animals grieve the same way we do. Together, feline and human family members will help each other grieve and move on.
While searching for Jade and Moonie's new home, I have felt their mother's spirit lingering, as if in worry for the fate of her girls. May she now rest in peace.

Peace and plenty
A flock of wild turkeys has stayed on to help usher in the New Year. Watching them preen their iridescent feathers and soak up the sun as temperatures reached 60 degrees did my heart good.
This is the first winter for some members of the flock, but a bounty of bugs, a bit of corn and a warm sunbath in a peaceful place where they are safe from predators can help them make it to spring.

A scene from Fetish Auteur, where women go to lose their clothes.
Today I wanted to talk about Clips4Sale and what they've been doing for the past 10+ years. Frequently, we talk about amateur porn stars on this site, but rarely do we talk about amateur porn makers. Normally, when we think about amateur porn being made, we think of the boyfriend filming his girlfriend giving him a blowjob, and then later, leaking the footage on the internet. What started out as a keepsake for their memories, ended up being porn for the rest of the world. That's not what this site is about.

NORTON, MA- The Wheaton College women's volleyball team moved up the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) standings following Tuesday's 3-0 (25-10, 25-20, 25-21) victory over visiting Mount Holyoke College in Emerson Gymnasium.
Winners in eight of their last 10 matches, the Lyons improved to 13-10 overall and 2-4 in league play, while Mount Holyoke slipped to 4-14 and 0-6. Wheaton went from tied for eighth in the NEWMAC when the night began to tied for sixth.
Sophomore Miranda Howitt (San Francisco, CA/International) paced Wheaton with 11 kills, while senior Lauren Kraus (Westboro, MA/Westboro) notched seven. Junior Becca Rose (Sudbury, MA/Lincoln-Sudbury Regional) handed out 23 assists, dropped down eight service aces and recorded 10 digs.
Freshman Morgan Cooley (Plymouth, MA/Plymouth South) led Mount Holyoke with five kills, while junior Kateryna Kuc (New Haven, CT/Hopkins) had six assists and 10 digs.
With the hosts leading 4-3 in the opening set, consecutive kills from Howitt triggered a 12-1 run to give Wheaton a 16-4 advantage. The Lyons extended their lead to 14 points four times before Howitt's winning kill provided the Blue and White with an early edge.
Mount Holyoke hung tough in the second set, turning a 9-5 deficit into a 14-12 lead, but Wheaton responded with five unanswered points for a 17-14 edge. The visitors narrowed their gap to one on two occasions before a 4-0 Wheaton run made it 22-17. Clinging to a 22-20 lead, the Lyons scored the last three points, including a set-winning ace from junior Kristen Hunt (Milford, CT/Jonathan Law).
The final set began with three early ties, but Wheaton used a 5-0 run to take a 10-5 advantage and didn't look back. Mount Holyoke crept to within 14-12 but came no closer, as the Lyons answered with a 6-1 spurt for a 20-13 advantage. Holding a 24-21 lead, Wheaton picked up its final point on a visitor miscue.
The Lyons remain at home this Saturday for the four-team Wheaton Invitational, beginning with a 9:00 a.m. match against Emerson College. The Blue and White is also scheduled to face Rhode Island College at 5:00 p.m. and Gordon College at 7:00 p.m.

From Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA:
My four year old daughter was showing signs of low blood sugar while staying her grandmother's house for a month. My mother-in-law tested her for a period of one week. Every morning before breakfast, my daughter's blood sugar was 40 mg/dl [2.2 mmol/L], and right before lunch, it was about 70 mg/dl [3.9 mmol/L]. Her levels have never been over 72 mg/dl [4 mmol/L]and never under 40 mg/dl [2.2 mmol/L]. She has added more sugar to her diet, but she still bottoms out at night. Her urine is very strong smelling, and she wets the bed a lot even though she has been trained for two years. I have made an appointment with the doctor, but it is not for 3 weeks. Is this something i should be very concerned with? Will she grow out of it? Is there anything I can do to keep her from getting so low during the night?
Probably not any serious problem but you should ensure that your daughter has something starchy to eat before going to bed. The specialist may wish to test her blood glucose formally during a fast.

Bulova Vintage, Antique Wrist Watch Review (Diamond and Gold)
Historical Vintage
Bulova Vintage watches is a broad category that includes ladies' and men's timepieces of various kinds and functions, all from early and later 20th century. There are specialized collections no longer in production: military style Bulova, doctor's watch, unisex, the familiar Art Deco rectangular line, and other rare pieces.
Many of the watches contain automatic movements, and are made of solid gold. Every given day there are over 500 eBay listings on Bulova Vintage watches, proving just how popular the brand and its historical products are.
Prices are determined by several main factors: is the watch functional, does it contain any precious metal, is it an anniversary piece, is there a significant inscription, and so on. Let's examine some of the collections more closely.
Vintage Deco
Is an Art Deco inspired design: classic tonneau shape, soft undulating lines, and a sense of style that men rarely wear these days – at least partly because such stylishness is associated with femininity. To wearing Bulova Vintage Deco today is to make a statement of fashion and values.
Military style round watches with dark dials and bright white Arabic numerals; a pair of slightly oversized hands allow for immediate time reading. Utility oriented watch, somewhat solemn in appearance – perhaps in acknowledgement of soldiers' high risk job.
These are solid gold, usually automatic watches, that sometimes overlap with Deco features. Again, a calm and fine sense of style determine the design; white, yellow, and rose gold is used to mould the cases from. Dials are usually very clean, and may appear minimalistic to a modern eye accustomed to chronograph complications.
Platinum, Titanium, Diamonds
Other highly valuable metals and stones Bulova experimented with at some stage of their manufacture. Diamond watches often combine with gold (or platinum) to create true jewelry timepieces made for ladies; usually smaller, they will include quartz movements, and are recognizable for their elaborate bracelets – a Bulova trademark still evident in modern Caravelle and Accutron.

There are moves of accommodation in Central America that could lead to cessation of hostilities. But there are also unmistakable and unsettling signs of continued big-power activity in the region.
To start with the positive: El Salvador's President, Jose Napoleon Duarte, and several rebel leaders have held one unprecedented meeting and agreed to discuss ways to bring about peace. The four-nation Contadora group has drawn up an overall peace plan for the region that is acceptable to Nicaragua's Sandinistas, although not, in its present form, to the United States.
And the Sandinistas are holding a national election this Sunday. It is, however, a flawed election; among other things, the main opposition candidate is not taking part.
Events of concern: The unloading of a large shipment of Soviet arms, munitions, and military parts in Nicaragua was reported in recent days. Is all of that really needed to fight the contras? Or is some of it, especially ammunition, to be smuggled into El Salvador to aid guerrillas? US and Salvadorean officials assert that this is a principal way the guerrillas obtain ammunition; guerrillas deny it.
Reports surfaced over the weekend that the United States was planning a new round of military exercises in Central America, with at least one set to be held in El Salvador. Are these exercises necessary? Earlier this year US forces held military exercises over several months in Honduras; questions then were raised about the need for such extensive maneuvers, about their effect on Honduran politics, and about the wisdom of the American construction or improvement of small bases and airports in Honduras.
The issue of the CIA's terror manual lingers. It seems hardly appropriate for an agency of the government of the United States, the world's leading democracy, to recommend the overthrow of another country's government - in this case Nicaragua's - through assassination, subversion, and deceit, which this manual tried to teach. Washington has also been involved in the mining of Nicaraguan harbors. The training of mercenaries, or volunteers, on American soil so that they could fight in Central America is questionable, too.
In recent weeks press reports have suggested that some US officials were at best lukewarm toward the Duarte peace move in El Salvador. Also, that elements of the CIA wanted to make sure Arturo Cruz did not run for the Nicaraguan presidency, on grounds that his participation would give the contest legitimacy.
Congress completed its recent session increasingly wary of administration attitudes toward Central America. But it has basically given the President what he asked for in the region, except that it cut off funding for the contras until March; Congress was concerned that failure to provide funds might cause it to be blamed for having ''lost'' Central America.
How Congress will act on Central America in the future will depend in part on how the US election comes out. But it also will be influenced by congressional assessments of what the administration is doing in the region.
Which leads to the question: Just what is Washington up to in Central America , anyway? Foremost, it ought to be vigorously waging the peace on each front that offers realistic promise. After the US election the victor should make certain that is done.

Opening in a highly stylised version of the bedroom of Darling children Wendy, Michael and John, their oversized bed taking up most of the available space as they prepare to drift off to sleep, the Lyceum's latest Christmas production appears to be standard Victorian-era fayre, at least until a certain young boy flies through the window.
The appearance of Peter Pan (Scott Fletcher) and Tinker Bell (Samuel Dutton), the latter clad in a tutu and flight helmet, leads to the start of an adventure which will take the pair and their new friends away from their parents – Irene MacDougall and Stuart Bowman – and off to the distant Never Land.
As the band of travellers set up home in Peter's underground lair, Wendy (Kim Gerard) becoming "mother" to a group of Lost Boys along the way, there's danger in the shape of the nefarious Captain Hook (Bowman again, seemingly channelling the late, great Iain Cuthbertson in his performance) and his crew of pirates, a man desperate to end Peter's fun once and for all.
Taking centre stage for most of the production are Fletcher and Lyceum-regular Gerard, the pair hitting their stride early on as Wendy attempts to sew Peter's shadow back on.
There's a playfulness here that is infectious, helped in no small measure by the scene-stealing Dutton as the incomprehensible Tinker Bell, his rapport with the younger members of the audience threatening to overshadow the drama taking place elsewhere.
The clever use of the original bedroom set to represent rocks, a house and even a ship helps reinforce the idea that Peter's world is one derived from make believe while moments of reality represented by Wendy and Tiger Lily's displays of affection subtly show what it is he's missing by remaining a child.
Director Jemima Levick's new telling of Peter Pan breathes new life into a story which has become familiar to generations of children through animated films and references in popular culture. Levick is assisted in her task by a gorgeously understated score from Philip Pinsky and Francis O'Connor's impressive set design which oozes quality.
With the audience clearly lapping up the story – more than once children could be heard shouting at Peter as Hook crept up on him or laughing at the escapades of Tinker Bell – this is truly a show for all ages, a flight of fancy from a century-old play with themes which still resonate today.

Vanessa Hudgens Roots for New York Giants in Their Disappointing 2017 Season Debut!
Vanessa Hudgens attended a football kickoff party on Sunday (September 10) and must have been sorely disappointed at her team's performance!
The 28-year-old actress, joined by actor Jerry Ferrara, visited the Booking.com football house in Jersey City, New Jersey and was rooting for the New York Giants in their 2017 season debut against the Dallas Cowboys.
Unfortunately, the Giants did not put on a great show – they lost the game 19-3 after the offense could barely get any first downs and the defense was on the field for most of the game.
It's still early in the season, so don't fret Giants fans!
FYI: Vanessa is wearing Parker Smith jeans.

Bill Bowerman, cofounder of Nike, created the first rubber sole for athletic shoes by experimenting with rubber in his wife's waffle iron. Although Bowerman did not invent the first rubber-soled shoe, he did create the first running shoe with the waffle iron design, which he believed would give the shoes traction without having to use metal spikes.
Bowerman was a well-respected track and field coach at the University of Oregon in the 1950s. He was always trying to find ways to improve the athletic shoes of his student athletes. He teamed up with one of his former students, Phil Knight, to form a footwear distribution company, which later become Nike. Knight handled most of the business side of the company, while Bowerman continued to try to improve the athletic shoe. According to the National Running Center, in 1971 Bowerman was looking at his wife's waffle iron and realized that the waffle tread shape, when inverted, would be perfect for providing traction as well as springiness to running shoes. He used his wife's waffle iron to create prototypes, pouring rubber into the iron to cook it, then attaching it to the running shoes he designed. Nike debuted the first waffle-iron, rubber-soled shoes, known as the Waffle Trainer, in 1974. The shoe was a huge hit and helped to propel Nike into becoming one of the world's largest athletic shoes companies.

Historians Tell Their Stories: Family and Nation during the F.D.R. Years
In today's United States, the conflict between conservatives and progressives, traditionalists and modernists, dominates politics and regularly paralyzes the governing process. This divide can be traced back to various times in American history. During the periods comprising the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration (the Great Depression, New Deal, and to a lesser degree World War II) it was resurgent. Even today, a split remains between members of families for whom Roosevelt personified the devil and those for whom he was a true hero, for whom Eleanor Roosevelt was a traitor to conservative visions of womanhood and those for whom she was an independent and strong individual who served as role model for young professional women.
Seen through the dual prism that historians can bring to family history and national history, aspects of the Roosevelt presidency provide spaces in which the meaning of American conservativism and progressivism (with both small "p" and capital "P") can be explored. What light can historians shed on some of the origins of this rift through the telling of their family histories during the Roosevelt years? Where are the intersections between the professional work of historians and their memories of family life, or of stories handed down of family life, during the Roosevelt period?
One inspiration for this project comes from Roy Rosenzweig and David Thelen's 1998 The Presence of the Past: Popular Uses of History in American Life. Rosenzweig and Thelen uncovered what they called the American "popular historical consciousness at its most obvious source – the perspectives of a cross section of Americans." (5) In exploring attitudes towards professional history, they pointed out that Americans they interviewed "placed national events within their familial stories or made national personages into familiar figures in personal narrative.... Popular historical narratives veered off in different directions from the textbook narratives of linear progress associated with capital "H" history. Americans engaged larger pasts on their own terms." (116)
As professional historians are themselves members of the larger American public whose memories and attitudes Rosenzweig and Thelen investigated, this book will explore the connections historians create between past and present, family history, and the nation's history. How do professional historians tell family stories? What surprises does the telling reveal? How has their disciplinary perspective been affected by their family history? My hope is that historians will use their knowledge of history to broaden and place into context their family stories. This would illuminate both sides of the historical narrative, both national and familial. It would allow professional writers and teachers of history to share their personal pasts. It would also demonstrate that in spite of Rosenzweig and Thelen's finding that the general public has little taste or even use for professional history, perhaps historians do know how to tell a good story after all.
Proposals of no more than 300 words should be sent to Marie Bolton (Associate Professor of American History, University Clermont Auvergne/CHEC, France) at email@example.com along with a brief cv by July 1, 2017.

1 month (and counting) for me, I've contacted my manager and she said "admin problems".
What's the longest period of time you've not been paid (on time/payday) for paid work? And if you feel like sharing, what was the reason?
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
I once worked for about 3-4 weeks before receiving a paycheck. It was apparently due to direct deposit issues because they skip the first payment and I opted for it instead of paper checks.
Other than that, if retirement counts. Technically, I'm not being payed for any work. ;p
"Hey mister! I am mad scientist! It's so cool!" - Okabe
2 weeks only because when i first started that is how long it took to get your first paycheck. On another note if i haven't got paid like you in over a month i would be flipping out and depending on the job probably wouldn't be working their anymore.
I dont want the sauce
I do not spent the money I work for so I never keep track
get em teddy ◟ʕ╬ᴥ╬ ◟ʔ
Three weeks due to withholding.
rek u m8
still not paid for work i did a year ago lol but in the end i just felt really sorry for the family 'cuz they were going through tough times so maybe that doesn't count
at the actual workplace i had a paycheck that was cut in half and the rest didn't come until 2 weeks later. No longer work there either lol
you wouldn't believe your pants, if ten million fire ants
3 weeks....it sucks....without money being gained it is so hard to keep working.
22 days haha
19 years.
I can't beat 19 years! I did work for one bunch though; we were doing phone soliciting. One day the leasing company came and got our desks and chairs so we sat on the floor and made calls. Then the phone company came and got our phones (yeah, long time ago). We got sent home early. The next day we arrived for work and the door was locked. No one ever showed up. I called labor board and it turns out the whole thing was a scam, but they were chasing them and trying to get the money back. A couple years later I got a check from the labor board for about half what I was owed, saying they had caught them and gotten at least some of the money owed workers.
As an artist and free lancer, I've been stiffed (not paid at all) more than once. I figure...karma works.
4 weeks -- just the normal delays in administrative efficiency (manager kept forgetting to set up my direct deposit).

After the 3 long years of wait, Bala, the man known for his perfection in film making has announced his forthcoming movie Naan Kadavul.
According to a press release circulated by his PRO Nikhil Murugan, the film will hit the screens this January. He has also released the official stills of the movie.
The press note says that the film is Bala's fourth directorial venture after Sethu, Nandha and Pithamagan. For the first time Bala has not penned the dialogues for his film. It is handled by noted Tamil writer Jayamohan.
With hope that Naan Kadavul will sweep national awards, the movie would be censored on 30th December, 2008 to join the race for the acclaim this year itself.
Maestro Ilayaraja was immensely impressed with the film and wondered at the work to be done for re-recording. He was joined by acclaimed Bollywood composer Uttam Singh for re-recording to give more authenticity to the North oriented portions which were shot in Kasi.
According to the script, a father drives his son away from home for spiritual and astrological reasons. The boy leaves Tamil Nadu and takes refuge in Kasi. He (Arya) grows up in the midst of Sadhus and Sanyasins and becomes one with long hair and gory looks.
Meanwhile, realizing his folly, the father goes in search of his son to Varanasi. Shocked to see his son in such state, he decides to bring him back to his home town. The social environment in Tamil Nadu forces him to return Kasi.
