Quick Links
In the 1979 Baltimore County Master Plan, Owings Mills was identified as a location for a self-sustaining planned community that would provide housing, employment, and a complete range of commercial services. In 1984 the county adopted the Plan for Owings Mills, Maryland and established zoning for the growth area during the comprehensive zoning map process. The Owings Mills plan designated five separate land use areas within the growth area, one of which includes the residential area, Owings Mills New Town.
In the late 1980's, the developers' vision for the newly designated growth area in Owings Mills included a man-made lake. When an Army Corps of Engineers study concluded the lake would have a negative environmental impact, not only did it cancel plans for the lake, it also canceled the community's original name: Lakeside. By this time the main thoroughfare had already been dedicated, and Lakeside Blvd remained.
Throughout the 1990's Owings Mills New Town took shape, now encompassing more than 3000 homes divided into 27 Home Owners Associations, a gas station, and two commercial shopping centers: New Town Village and Brookside Commons.
However the history of Owings Mills New Town dates back more than just 30 years, and the streets on which we drive everyday are named for more than just a developer's vision of a man-made lake.
In the early to mid-1700's settlers began to arrive in the Owings Mills area. One family in particular, the Owings Family, bought land in Green Spring Valley. One notable member of the Owings Family, Samuel Owings, built three mills along the Gwynn's Falls. A single millrace (sometimes referred to as a mill run - a fast moving channel of water that powered the mills) connected all three mills together. The three mills were named after their location along the millrace: 1. The Upper Mill (Upper Mill Drive) which ground flour, 2. The Middle Mill (Middle Mill Drive) which produced grist and 3. The Lower Mill (Lower Mill Drive) which ground limestone into plaster - hence the name, Owings Mills.
After some time the Upper Mill was sold to Thomas Groff (Groff's Mill Drive), and the Lower Mill was sold to Will Painter (Will Painter Drive), and the name was changed to Painter's Mills. Joseph Simonds (Simonds Drive) was the last miller to operate Painter's Mill.
Besides the Owings Family, several other prominent families took up residence in the area surrounding Owings Mills. Sherwood Farm Road and Sherwood Hill Road are named after the Sherwood family, prominent in the shipping and fuel oil business in Baltimore. Captain Richard Sherwood headed the Old Bay Line (Bay Line Cir), which ran boats from Baltimore to Virginia.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, mining was a big industry in the Owings Mills area. Ore, flint (Flint Hill Drive), gold (Gold Hill Rd, mica, and isinglass (Isinglass Rd) was extracted in and around Soldiers Delight Park. Wagons were used to transport the minerals from the park. The people who built or repaired the wagons were called Wainwrights (Wainwright Cir) and those who built or repaired the wheels were called Wheelwrights.
Some other street names simply take their names after various members of Samuel Owings's family: Bale Owings (Bale Ct), Hannah Owings (Hannah's Mill Drive), Rebecca Owings (Rebecca Ln), and Ephraim Owings (Ephraim Drive).
Owings Mills New Town may have been designed as a Planned Unit Community; however the foundations for what we all call home were planted hundreds of years ago. The original residents of New Town were hard workers; they cared about their families, and cherished the land they depended on to survive.
We are now all part of the evolving history of Owings Mills, so next time you drive through the neighborhood, take a moment to slow down and think about what Owings Mills New Town once was, and what it will grow to be.
- Daniel E. Bralove, 2009

Discussion in 'Prop Firms' started by mrmoose, Dec 11, 2009.
According to his facebook page Walter passed away. I do not have any details. RIP to a legend.
Any facts on this story
Any facts at all??
I have a contact lives in NYC. journalist there. works for tradingmarkets.com. will put you in touch with him for the scoop.
just the facts please,
lololololololololol................. welcome back, surfie
i don't know why the other thread was closed. this story is true and it is walter scott bruan. the asian guy is paul chun who was friends and a fellow drug user...and he was a trader at worldco back in the day (you can look him up on finra). the house walter was living in was rented, and could have been his "funhouse" because he was bringing his fellow drug user up there.
there has been a lot of condolence letters to walter on his facebook page. granted, many of them were sent by people who may have simply been recently "friended" by walter, but there were enough names to confirm his demise...such as Sloan Bruan (sister) and John Miller (ex-CEO of worldco).
if you still don' believe this story, please explain why. i initially had my doubts when the story broke out, but with Hojin (Paul) Chun's involvement, and all the condolences on facebook, it leaves little doubt.
The problem is, that the news reports are saying "Police say 42-year-old Walter Braun, of Scarsdale, exited a limo after a dispute"
And the WorldCo gang is
"NASD Fines Worldco and Four of Its Owners $1.5 Million for Co-Mingling Operations with a Hedge Fund; CEO Barred, Three Others Suspended
Washington, DC â NASD announced today that it had fined Worldco LLC of New York, NY, and four of its owners $1.5 million for failing to separate Worldco's business operations from the business and operations of PTJP Partners, a hedge fund. John G. Miller, Worldco's CEO, was barred from serving as a principal of a securities firm for three years. Peter Bruan, founder of Worldco, was suspended for 1 year, and his sons, Walter Scott Bruan and Christopher Bruan, were suspended for 4 months and 15 days, respectively. Miller was fined $250,000, Peter Bruan was fined $100,000, Walter Scott Bruan $50,000 and Christopher Bruan $30,000. Each of the four is a part owner in the firm and their fines are part the $1.5 million"
If you think the mispelling of a name, or a misttatement of age-by a half ass newspaper is more conclusive evidence that the guy's sister and 100 or more others leaving condolances on his Facebook page, or the other passenger being a registed Worldco trader then you're way more trusting of the media's accuracy than I am. Most of the time that I'm reading a media account of something I posses first hand knowlege of, there's one or more factual errors. In this case "Braun" is an infinately more common name/spelling than "Bruan" and the age is pretty close.
why are u posting the above. it is completely irrelevant . the issues mentioned are minor while providing no additional information regarding the current situation.
Separate names with a comma.

Michael Bublé, Luisana Lopilato Welcome New Baby Boy
Crooner Michael Bublé and his wife, actress Luisana Lopilato, are the proud new parents of a baby boy.
The "Feeling Good" singer posted a picture of the couple's first-born Noah on his Instagram account Tuesday.
"Overjoyed and filled with gratitude at the arrival of our son Noah Bublé," the singer captioned the adorable picture with Noah and Lopilato. "Born this morning, August 27th at 2:26 a.m. in Vancouver, Canada."
The 37-year-old Canadian singer and the 26-year-old Argentine actress have been anticipating the baby's arrival for weeks. Bublé even canceled his Aug. 9 appearance on the Today show.
"It's a boy, and he's due at any moment," he told the Associated Press last week earlier this month. "Literally any moment. We're close. She had a false alarm a couple days ago, and she had about seven hours of labor. So we know it can happen at any time."
The couple met during a 2009 South American concert tour. They married in a small civil ceremony in March 2011 in Buenos Aires and later in front of 300 friends and family. A third wedding ceremony took place in May 2011 in Vancouver.
They first announced they were expecting in January, with a video message showing an ultrasound.
Bublé is a Grammy-winning singer who has sold millions of albums, including "Crazy Love" and 2011's "Christmas." Lopilato made her name as a model and in sitcoms and soap operas in Argentina.

Tourism in Rabat
Although Rabat has been the administrative and political capital of Morocco since 1956, it has yet to receive the large number of tourists that cities such as Casablanca, Marrakesh and Fes have. This makes it a wonderfully peaceful, traffic-free, less hectic and more provincial version of these busier cities. While Rabat is laid-back and slow-paced, it maintains a cosmopolitan feel and is not afraid to embrace modernity.
Rabat offers a diverse cityscape that ranges from the ocean views of the palm-lined boulevard, the art galleries and hidden boutiques of the kasbah, the quite cafes of the historic medina, to the many ancient sites including mosques, mausoleums, monuments and museums, along with the famous Merenid necropolis of Chellah.
Rabat is well-known as a foodies' dream city, with a wealth of top restaurants serving traditional and international cuisine. Nightlife here is not as wild as it is further down the coast in Casablanca. However, an enjoyable evening can most certainly be had in Rabat, choose between trendy, hipster bars; modern, designer establishments; long-established local haunts, full of character; and USA-themed music bars.
Sightseeing in Rabat
When in Rabat, make sure to visit the fantastic highlights of this fascinating city:
- Beaches of Essaouira
- Kasbah des Oudaias
- Chellah
- Le Tour Hassan minaret
- St Agatha's Crypt & Catacombs
- Domus Romana
- Archaeology Museum
- Grotto of St Paul
- Mausoleum of Mohammed V
- St Paul's Catacombs
- Walled Medina
- Grande Mosquée
- Andalusian Gardens
- Galérie d'Art Nouiga
Geography and Climate
The climate in Morocco varies depending on the region. The weather is warm and mostly pleasant along the coast, while inland the weather is dry and changeable. Towards the South, the weather is hot and dry for most of the year with very cool nights during the months of December and January and very warm and humid days in summer. The rain season in Morocco is between November and March.
Rabat is located on the coast of Morocco, by the Atlantic Ocean and enjoys a Mediterranean climate. Due to its coastal location the city has a mild, temperate climate all year round, with cool winters and warm summers. The nights are always cool and colder in the winter months of December to January.
Culture in Rabat
The Moroccans are famous for their hospitality and the people of Rabat are no exception. Although Rabat is a capital city, this has no reflection on the level of politeness and warmth of the people here. There are 2 million people living in Rabat, making it the second largest city in Morocco after Casablanca. Rabat might be the political capital but it is not the commercial capital - Casablanca holds that title. The civilised, cosmopolitan feel afforded by the well-dressed, middle-class people, the wide boulevards and not so hectic souqs in Rabat make it an ideal location for relaxed, Arabic courses in Morocco. You will have no problems asking for directions, eating out and shopping in Rabat - making it easy for exchanges in Arabic to happen while you are on your course here.
Shopping in Rabat
There are shops for everyone in Rabat - from flea markets to expensive boutiques.The difference between Rabat and the more hectic markets of Fes and Marrakesh, is that there is less bartering and most goods are sold at a fixed price.
Rabat was once an artisan centre and remains a great place for picking up locally made, handcrafted products. Rue des Consuls is one of the best places to go for stalls selling authentic, high quality gifts made using a range of traditional handicrafts.
Rabat is also one of the few places in Morocco where you can get a range of topographical Moroccan maps and town plans.
There are a number of great fruit and vegetable markets in Rabat with everything from spices to dried fruit and nuts available. The best market is the indoor food market located in the city's medina.
Both Rabat's medina and kasbah offer a range of shops from homeware to food, to clothing and fine handicrafts. There are also a number of jewelery stalls offering elaborate gold and silver pieces.
Eating in Rabat
Rabat is a fantastic city for food. There is a variety of options available in the prized restaurants here, offering both traditional and international cuisine. Many of Rabat's restaurants are located in historic buildings of beautiful architecture with outdoor terraces for people watching.
There are a large number of stylish French restaurants in Rabat, whose tasteful interior design matches the quality of the food. Authentic Moroccon cuisine is served all over the city and features wood-filled tajines, scrumptious cous cous, lamb dishes and the famous Moroccan pastillas - meat pie traditionally made with fledgling pigeons.
Ramadan – a month of fasting
The Islamic fasting month of Ramadan falls during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. The Koran stipulates that fasting – abstinence from food and drink – takes place every day for Islamic people, from dawn until sunset.
Although the fast symbolizes devotion to Allah, non-Muslims must also accept and respect the restrictions on eating, drinking and smoking during Ramadan. Many restaurants are likely to be closed during this period.
The Breaking of the Fast Festival ends the 30-day fasting period. It is celebrated in the first three days of the following month, and is one of the two most important Islamic festivals.
The Islamic calendar is based on the lunar year and therefore the dates on which Ramadan falls vary from year to year.

text: I have ripped a few DVD movies using Handbrake. Of every movie, I had it generate an iPod version, which I call something like Generic Action Movie (iPod) and then a regular version using the Normal preset which I call just Generic Action Movie. But now my movie library in iTunes is a mess. It looks like this: Generic Action Movie Generic Action Movie (iPod) Hilarious puppet guy My home movie from last tuesday Provocative Comedy Movie Provocative Comedy Movie (iPod) Some Space Movie (part 4) Some Space Movie (part 4) (iPod) Some Space Movie (part 5) Some Space Movie (part 5) (iPod) Some Space Movie (part 6) Some Space Movie (part 6) (iPod) Two guitarists singing like and about robots In reality this list is much larger, of course. There's a duplicate of every movie, and then all my non-movies (just video clips) are in between them all. So what I did was create two smart playlists, Movies and Movies (iPod). This worked out okay. But of course, Front Row does not support movie playlists. So when I go to my movie folder it's all these clips and duplicate movies, it's horrible! How do you all go about this? Is there a solution?

We all have personal reasons to be thankful (as do I) regardless as to how many tribulations we have endured during the preceding 12 months and we can contemplate those with our families and loved ones.
On this Thanksgiving Day, 2008:
I give thanks to our founders, who envisioned this country more than two centuries ago and for those who gave their lives to establish it.
I give thanks to the men and women who today, and since our nation's founding, have given their all for the preservation of our liberty and to bestow liberty upon, and to preserve the liberty of, people around the world.
I give thanks to live in a nation of plenty, where obesity is a problem and starvation is not; this is truly an exception in the history of mankind.
I give thanks for forums such as this, where I can freely express my opinions without fear of retribution.
I give thanks that I live in a nation where immigration is a problem and emigration is not.
I give thanks that we have just elected a new president in an election unmarred by violence and, though nearly half of the people voted against him, he will take power on January 20 and that transition will take place with the full cooperation of the outgoing president.
We are all truly blessed to live in a country such as this; so long as we continue to recognize and recognize its virtues, it will continue to be the "last, best hope of mankind".
Happy Thanksgiving, to all.

Tesco are offering 25% off wine and champagne at the moment if you buy six bottles. Although our cellar is fairly full we couldn't resist when visitng our local store. Our purchases were:
|Tesco Finest Pouilly Fume - a crisp white delicious well chilled.
|Tesco Finest Cotes de Gascogne - we have yet to try this !
|McGuigan Cabernet Sauvignon - Australian - we had this in a restaurant
recently and now have a bottle to try at home
|McWilliam's Hayfield Pinot Noir - Australian - we like this brand but have never tried this.
|Fish Hoek Chenin Blanc - South African - I love their Sauvignon Blanc but have not tried their Chenin Blanc
|Casillero Del Diable Cabernet Sauvignon - Chilean - we don't normally like Chilean wine but this was recommended and the Tesco forum so we bought a bottle to try - superb, a lovely deep red with a few spicy under notes. Next time we're trying it with chilli !!
As I am following Slimming World I find it difficult to grab a snack but Caffe Nero do a lovely snack pot of fresh fruit (although it's not in every cafe). Americano, hot chocolate, caramel wafer and fruit pot to go we made it back to the car just in time. I did remember to get my loyalty card stamped at Caffe Nero so I am well on the way to my next free coffee.
We drove on through the Cotswolds and decided to call in at Stratford Upon Avon for a late lunch/early dinner. We like many of the brand restaurants; Bella Italia, Strada, All Bar One to name a few but my favourite is Cafe Rouge. I love France, the food, the wine, the people, everything and Cafe Rouge is perfect for me everytime.
I decided to try their set lunch which is a change for me as I usually have Salmon Nicoise. There was a good choice at great value.
Set Lunch Menu-One course for £7.95 or two courses for £9.95, available every day from 12pm - 5pm.
Chicken Liver Pâté
Smoked Salmon Crostini
Baked Mushroom Florentine
Tuna Niçoise Salad
Penne Pasta
Chicken Provençale
Omelette & French Fries
I enjoyed the pate followed by a delicious crisp tuna salad with potatoes, egg, anchoives and beans. Hubby and daughter enjoyed a bread board starter followed by half a roast chicken with french fries. Their fries are the best I have tasted and I couldn't resist pinching just one. Hubby is always impressed with their draught Stella, saying it is better than English pubs and almost as good as when we're in France. Every visit is enjoyable for us, Cafe Rouge is definitely our favourite.
I'm not sure where our weekends are taking us next; I'm sure they will be full as we're always busy.

Survival of Seagrass Plugs: Mechanical Harvestingby Ron Gaby, Kimley-Horn & Associates Inc, West Palm Beach, FL, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Coastal Zone '87
During the spring of 1985 a mechanical technique for harvesting seagrasses was developed in order to salvage large quantities of seagrass materials that were to be destroyed by a 4. 2 km (2. 6 mile) long beach renourishment project in Dade County, Florida. Salvaged materials were transplanted as a part of the Port of Miami's seagrass revegetation program. The mechanical harvesting was accomplished through the use of a boat equipped with a bow-mounted shovel powered by a hydraulic lifting arm. More than 165,000 15 cm (6 inch) plugs of Thalassia and Syringodium were harvested over a 53-day period. Approximately 7 months after planting, quantitative survival analysis was undertaken. Results of that monitoring indicated a mean survival rate of more than 50% for plugs present at baseline data collection. Inspection of plugs indicated that they were beginning to colonize the area. This paper also presents information on the techniques used in evaluating the survival of salvaged seagrasses.

out cookies, and was excited to get out our Halloween cookie cutters this year. The minute he woke up (early) one morning he wanted to bake some Halloween cut out cookies. I realized though that we didn't have all of the ingredients and it's not easy to tell a 4 year old (especially one that has been asking for a few weeks to make them) that we have to wait until later. I didn't feel like running to the store and didn't want to bother a neighbor to borrow ingredients either. I searched on line for some Vegan recipes so I could find some healthy substitutes for butter and eggs, the two major items that I was missing. I found this awesome Vegan Sugar Cookie recipe. I made some other adjustments to the receipe as well.
I was worried about how they would turn out, but they were delicious and it will now be our regular recipe when making our holiday cut outs!
Vegan Sugar Cookie Cut Outs, Original recipe from Food.com
2 cups sifted flour (I used whole wheat flour)
3/4 cups sugar ( I used brown sugar)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup oil (I used coconut oil)
1 tsp vanilla
Dash of Cinnamon
1. In medium sized bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon, set aside
2. In a separate bowl, mix together applesauce, oil and vanilla
3. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well with an electric mixer
4. Form dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour
5. Remove dough from refrigerator and remove plastic wrap. Roll out dough on a floured surface and cut out shapes with cookie cutters (This is my son's favorite part. Don't worry about the mess and flour getting all over the place!)
6. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes
Cool cookies completely on racks before frosting.
Basic Cookie Frosting, by Lisa C.
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2-4 tbsp soy milk
Food coloring
Mix all together until smooth and blendable
Frost cookies and decorate with candy sprinkles, if desired
Make It Healthy and Make It Fun!


text: Hey BHW, I want to start a journal here so that I can track what I do every day and look back and see if I'm actually being productive on a daily basis, and to keep motivated toward my $100 a day goal by 10/1/11. My main goal right now to achieve the consistent $100 a day is to get my forex related clickbank affiliate site ranking number 1 for 3 different main keywords. Each day before I go to bed I will post a quick message of what productive things I got done for the day, and by productive, I mean things that will help toward the ranking of my site. I know that through enough hard work I could achieve #1 rankings within those 5 weeks. My site has been as high as positions 4, 2, and 3 before for the respective keywords, but this was many months ago and the rankings didn't hold for very long. Currently I'm ranked... Keyword 1: 11 Keyword 1: with "s" on the end: 16 Keyword 2: 4 Keyword 2: with "s" on the end: 8 Keyword 3: 9 And the global monthly searches for each keyword... Keyword 1: 90,500 Keyword 1: with "s" on the end: 40,500 Keyword 2: 12,100 Keyword 2: with "s" on the end: 3,600 Keyword 3: 6,600 In the past month I've only had $81.45 in Clickbank profit, and 404 search engine visits according to Google Analytics. So as you can see there's currently not a lot going on with this site. I started my new linking campaign a few days ago and what I've currently got is about 25 web 2.0 properties each with a unique article and a single link pointing to my home page. I've blasted these 25 sites with a few hundred scrapebox autoapprove links but that's it so far. The past few days were spent "setting up" this link-building campaign, and now it's time to put in some real solid SEO work, so let's see if I'll actually put in the work or whether this'll be yet another "abandoned after a week" thread. Thanks for reading! -Scott

Vitamin D Could Decrease Risk of Fracture
There is an article that was published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine that states girls can have less of a risk of bone fractures by taking vitamin D. This is true even for girls involved in high-impact, physical activities. Many times in physical activities, stress fractures can occur. These happen when the bone cannot handle the force and/or pressure that are occurring to it. This type of fractures do not have to happen all at once they can happen over a period of time, so when these first start it might not be noticeable. However, after so many stress fractures happen it can cause issues in the structure of the bone.
The authors of this article were Kendrin Rc Sc.D., R.D. and colleagues from Children's Hospital Boston. They stated while the ongoing theory is that diets high in calcium attained from through consuming dairy products are effective at making bones strong and healthy. However, through a background study, this theory does not always stand true.Researchers examined over 6,100 girls from ages 9 to 15 years of age with the Growing Up Today Study. They followed the girls for more than 7 years and about 4% of these girls had stress fractures occur, with no link to their intake of calcium or dairy. However, vitamin D seems to have been an important part of maintaining strong enough bones that would stand up under high impact activities, especially with the girls that were physically active at least one or more hours a day.
The conclusion that the authors came to was that adolescents should increase their daily intake of vitamin D to 600IU/d as suggested by the Institute of Medicine's report recently issued. Further research is needed to verify these fact and if boys would show the same results.

text: Walkability provides a foundation for a sustainable city. The effectiveness of walkability is linked with socio- economic, environmental and psychological issues. Walkability provides safety, security and comfort for the city dwellers while traveling as well as cleanliness and transparence in mobility by reducing street congestion, street pollutions, vehicle fuel cost and road fatalities. Present motorization and urbanization in Indian cities, resulting in reduced mobility and increasing hazards, has thrown a challenge to the planners and decision makers in favor of conversion of motorized cities to walkable cities. In this paper, the prospects for walkability and related issues has been analyzed and discussed for Siliguri city. Siliguri, a medium sized city of West Bengal, India has emerged as a major urban center and acts as Gateway to the entire north-eastern states of India. Planners fear that the population of Siliguri may reach up to 2 million by 2025. As Siliguri is not a planned city, it has been experiencing problems in meeting present demand with its social and physical infrastructure. The streets of Siliguri is almost choked by mixed traffic, usually paratransits and personalized two/four wheelers, slow moving vans, dense urban corridors and existence of busy commercial set ups along major roads. The rapid motorization and increasing level of economic status of the city dwellers has put immense pressure on transportation system of the town resulting in high level of congestion and fatalities. Thus, keeping many aspects as constraints, there is an urgent need to identify the prospects of walkability in the city for sustenance. In this paper, an effort has been made to identify possibilities of transforming Siliguri into a walkable city where more people will opt for walking as their first choice for short trips and to make longer distance trips using a combination of walking and public transport instead of using personal automated vehicles. The research finally reveals that there are ample opportunities to make Siliguri walkable, however, detail investigations and quantification of walkability indices are required for implementation.

Opens July 21. Movie Times for Dunkirk Here.
The "Miracle of Dunkirk" was the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from France in early World War II. Hundreds of thousands of Belgian, British, and French troops were trapped between German forces and experts at the time predicted that only 45,000 would be saved. The operation began May 26, 1940 as Germans closed in on France.
Dunkirk was a horrendous display of the tragedies of war. The allied troops were like sitting ducks on the beaches of France as Germans dropped bombs upon bombs on the coast of France. In an article in Time Magazine that originally reported the incident in 1940 explained that "day and night the sea air was filled with screaming gulls and bats of death." These tragic circumstances not only effected the soldiers, but also the citizens of Dunkirk, "as thousands of refugees fled for their lives to escape the fallout of battle."
Approximately, 338,000 allied soldiers were rescued on small civilian ferries from the small seaport town of Dunkirk in just 8 days. The evacuation has been referred to as one of the greatest turning points in World War II as only 45,000 were expected to be saved.
Tragically, thousands and thousands of troops were left behind and taken prisoner by advancing Germans. In Winston Churchill's famous speech, he explained that "this unprecedented German achievement constitutes simultaneously the greatest military defeat that any military forces ever suffered" - the true paradox of war. The troops that were saved "would play a crucial role in future resistance of Nazi Germany" and became the spirit of battle in World War II.
Christopher Nolan, renowned director of The Dark Knight, brings this tragic story to the big screen with a powerful retelling of the horrors of war. Considered a psychological thriller, Dunkirk is a shattering spectacle of the chaotic evacuation of allied forces from France. There is supposedly no mention of Nazi forces in the movie as to express a holistic and universal portrayal of the horrors of war.
Dunkirk has been described by one of the best movies of the year, earning a whopping 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. You don't want to miss this. Check out movie times for Dunkirk at Stars and Stripes Drive-In Movie Theatre here.

Avatar Star Sigourney Weaver Says No to Plastic Surgery
January 13, 2010 in Celebrity Plastic Surgery by Jet H. Ross | 1 Comment
Sigourney Weaver is a sci-film legend after starring in James Cameron's Alien film series. Back then, the sexy brunette was in her 30s. Now she's in her 60s, still making money for Cameron, but claiming it's without plastic surgery. Makemeheal.com investigates if this is true.
60-year old Siguourney Weaver has never admitted to having plastic surgery and judging by the lines creeping up her face at the Avatar premiere, she's telling the truth.
In 2007, Sigourney told People magazine, "It's not for me. It's more interesting to learn how to get strong, and be strong."
"My face is my canvas," she said. "And I think it's much more interesting now than it ever was."
Scottish newspaper the Daily Record also reported on Sigourney's sentiments regarding plastic surgery. At 58, Sigourney said, "Actors' faces have to move. It's a personal choice. It depends on what you want. Yes, we probably want to see perfect people, too, but we also want to see people who look like us. It's just about skin care and maybe exercise."
"I'm all for taking care of yourself. My mother was awfully good at that. She was an amateur athlete for a long time and every kiss I got from her at night was saturated with night cream. …"
"I do think life should put lines on your face, or you're not getting out enough."
Now that Sigourney is older, she may decide to reconsider her no plastic surgery rule and have a few touch-ups to help enhance her natural beauty. Some cosmetic surgery procedures that would help her look as young as she did when playing Ripley would be Botox Cosmetic or Dysport around her crow's feet, the "11" between her brows and on her forehead. Her eyes could benefit from upper eyelid surgery, while laser resurfacing could benefit the area around her eyes and mouth.
Board certified Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer says, "Sigourney Weaver is blessed with great looks. If she chose to undergo some procedures, I would suggest Botox Cosmetic for her crow's feet, glabella and forehead. She may also benefit from an upper lid belpharoplasty, upper lip filler and laser resurfacing of her periorbital and perioral areas to decrease her fine lines."
Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and a rhinoplasty specialist in Beverly Hills, California, says, "Sigourney Weaver looks very natural and is aging nicely. It does not appear she has had any surgery or fillers injected. As far as recommending any procedures, it is strictly Sigourney's personal preference as to whether or not she would like to have anything performed. She looks great no matter what, and if the natural look is what she prefers than she should stick with it."
Whether or not Sigourney reconsiders her position on plastic surgery, she is continuing to be a box office success.

The curtain is expected to rise in mid-November for a shortened Metropolitan Opera season in New York and on the road next spring. After days and nights of intensive negotiations requested by President Carter , opera and orchestra negotiators reached a tentative settlement, compromising the critical issue of a four-day performance week and demands by opera musicians for parity with those in symphony orchestras.
The Metropolitan Opera board and orchestra members are expected to ratify the agreement Oct. 27. The company must also negotiate contracts with 16 other unions representing 1,800 employees. No serious problems are anticipated; the musicians' contract usually sets a pattern others follow.
Union members, jobless since the Met formally canceled the 1980-81 season that was to have begun Sept. 22, are generally reported "ecstatic" over prospects of returning to work with raises totaling 35 percent and cost-of-living adjustments during the next four years.
For the Met, a four-year contract ensures labor peace through its gala 1983- 84 centennial season.
The Met, which says its telephones willbe busy this week with calls around the world, believes most contract artists will still be available so that the season's performance schedule can be maintained with few changes. The cancellation of the 1980-81 season freed many of the world's top singers of commitments to the Met.

I had great fun with the middle girl's shoes but she was a constant fidget! Which resulted in the plethora of hands. Her friend was slightly more subdued but I still managed to get three variations from her. But by the time I got to my third person I thankfully found a very calm and stationary uncle. Thank you to all the people who study, read and use the 'free internet' at coffee shops. You are the best drawing subjects.

A little late but better than never
Some images get lost along the way, they get buried under a pile of other things like deadlines or little doodles and simply never see the light of internet. I have a small collection of these...most of them half finished. If I have a new years resolution it is to get all my stuff out there and not leave it sitting on my desktop for months. Thankfully this one only got delayed by a day due to scanning lag.

Sketching at Ion
More sketching, keeping the fingers limber. This one was penned out in a new location but in the same chain. Coffee Bean at Ion is fairly easy to find, considering everything else in Ion isn't. It's just one floor down on the escalators near the giant ... seed pod/avocado statue.
I decided to focus on people for this image. I was too tired to draw out coffee merchandise/furniture at the time and I've also been having the best time drawing hair with my muji pen. It's a sexy little biro encased in a 'silver' hexagonal casing. Thinner than your average biro (and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!) I'm sold several times over! So was the person who stole my first muji pen. Damn stationery thieves with taste.

Experimental sketches
I decided to try something a little different with my last cafe sketch and added a dash of painting to the mix. Recently some other friends/artists I know have been working on mixed media, like Matt Huynh. Although I must say he combines his wet and dry mediums in a slightly more interesting manner. But nonetheless I felt inspired to try as well.
Part of me likes this image,
and another part isn't too sure.
I overworked the left hand section near the front man's head. But there are still parts I really love. Like the woman in the sari, the lead up of the stools to the girl typing and the various lamps. Hopefully next time there will be a more significant ratio.
Location: Singapore, Vivo, Pacific Coffee Company (not so great coffee...)

Sketching at Starbucks
First sketch of the 'holiday', a tad rusty but it was fun to start drawing from life again. Hardest part was definitely mixing and matching people and merging spaces, forgot how fast people drank coffee in Singapore compared to the leisurely pace kept in Sydney. Most enjoyable part of the picture was definitely trying to get the girl's hair right.
Hopefully this will be one of many to come,
before the Christmas crowds get too intense

Things I've been up to
I've been fairly quiet about what's been happening to me so far so I'm just giving a quick update. I've been discovered! by Blanket, an amazing online magazine. I entered some of my black and white work for the appropriately titled black and white issue. I've also been in a curated group exhibition at the Kudos Gallery again imaginatively titled 'Kudos'. No prizes but a little birdie told me that the judges did like my work. :)
And a few weeks ago, in time for the Spring Fair at Cofa (college of fine arts) I made a small free zine with a few friends helped out by Cofa's amazing double page + stapling printer.

Printed portraits
I've been doing a few etchings recently to make use of the printing studios at my University before they close down for the holidays. As you can see it's mostly experimental stuff, not the usual tightly and neatly drawn etchings I'm used to doing. These portraits are sort of overflow inspiration from some of my charcoal work which I hope will be finished sometime early next year if I get a studio space. Otherwise will update you with a few close ups and process works as I go along.

I am really new to blogging, so u r to excuse me if I do nt comply with ne rules (invisible or clearly stated) ;as I need all da encouragement I can get to continue with this tradition of blogging.
I owe a few statements to ppl who even forced me to believe I can blog. I decided to stick to the Devil image onli bcuz I was getting so used to it tht I found it quite difficult without it… For those who r unaware of the origin of my so-called Devil image, a few instances here n there, followed by my usual acts of mischief (of quite a devilish nature, I must admit) and I had an image to live up to. And I quite admit I never had to work hard to live up to it; it just came naturally ;-). But, as I have stated more often thn not, I m nt a perpetual Devil. And as somebody put it for me, I am ' an angel in Devil's disguise.' (Mebe an angel is too much of a compliment, but u get the drift…). And so the Devil eventually will stay, at least for now.
Lemme make a slow start so that I dont really stun someone who happens to come across this just for fun. I am as typical as an average collegian in India can be…go to college in crowded local trains (read once in 15 min on an avg), hang out as much has I can with frnds (not much of an attempt actually considering I hv frnds who live down the lane) and, oh I cant fget this, rebelling as much as is considered barely decent (details of the same to be revealed in due course).
Not tht my life is all that ordinary, but again who is ordinary…Everyone has a skeleton, n I have many stuffed up in my closets so u can onli imagine how much I hv to hide. Nonetheless, I make sure that what I hide has nothing to do with u (at least some of u) n be as fair as I can be with u as well as with my conscience.
Those who have survived this far will notice that I have already began showing one of my most charactertistic traits…I dnt reveal too much. Not tht I cant or dnt want to; but onli bcuz it is in my nature to stay shut n open up onli when I think I can handle the consequences (sorry for sounding so over dramatic).
Now tht I hv bugged sum ppl already, lets keep da next session away for a while, so u can recover (or in da case of sum can interrogate my guts out). Chao till session 2 …

Electronic Concepts & Engineering has developed Full Authority Digital Engine Controls or FADECs for turbine engines, flight qualified engine monitoring electronics, and turbine engine control simulation systems.
Our extensive experience in FADEC turbine engine control system design and development includes:
In addition to FADEC development, we have also developed flight qualified turbine engine monitoring systems and Real-Time Hardware In-the-Loop (HIL) engine simulators. The HIL systems were developed for DARPA, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and the US Air Force and have been used on the JASSM and TACTOM programs and are deployed at Wright Patterson Labs.
JASSM Missile Turbine Engine FADEC
They simulate the operational characteristics of the propulsion system over the flight envelope, thus allowing validation of the engine controller and accessories without performing expensive engine (or flight) testing.
We have the ability to provide embedded real-time software, documented to IEC 12207, MIL-STD-498, or customer standards. In addition to the real-time embedded software, we routinely develop P.C. based operator interface software that allows the operator to control, test, status, reprogram, and log data from the embedded product.
Our product developments include features such as built-in-test (BIT), diagnostics, and prognostics.
Our designs typically integrate modern communication busses such as CAN (ISO 11898), Ethernet, USB, 802.11, MIL-1553, as well as others. We have implemented CAN over Fiber Optics for high voltage/high current applications for EMI immunity.
In addition to FADEC development, we have the ability to provide design analysis and documentation such as reliability analysis (MIL-HDBK-217), finite element analysis (subcontracted), failure modes and effects analysis, sneak circuit analysis, interface control documents, qualification test plans and reports, to name a few.
Digital Engine Control for Military Application
We typically take responsibility for product validation and qualification testing per the customer's specification. Tests normally are performed to FAA or Military standards including MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461. Depending on the type of testing, and the levels required, we may perform the testing in-house or use an established network of testing labs.Typical qualification testing for a FADEC includes: Corrosive Atmosphere (Salt Fog), Salt Water Immersion, High/Low Temperature, Temperature Shock, Humidity, Vibration, Shock, Altitude, Explosive Atmosphere, Fungus, Acceleration, EMI Suite, and Electro Static Discharge (ESD) to name several. In addition to the qualification testing, we have the ability to perform Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT), Highly Accelerated Stress Screening (HASS), and Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) in house. ESS (shake and bake) is usually required on each deliverable unit to reduce infant mortality.

There I sat, at the press table, in the House of Representatives, 45 years ago, and instead of making notes on the row that was going on between the committee chairman and the spokesman of the American Youth Conference my attention was fixed on a member of the audience. It happened to be Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the President of the United States.
Those unbelievable days! I can tell you the exact date because I wrote a piece about it and have just looked it up: Dec. 1, 1939: ''Mrs. Roosevelt takes side of Dies critics.'' Rep. Martin Dies (D) of Texas was conducting a witch hunt against real and alleged subversives, many of whom supported the New Deal. Eleanor Roosevelt was tall and radiant with buck teeth. What a pair she and Franklin made at the head of the nation's affairs. She was born Oct. 11, 1884, and many parts of the country are celebrating the event in the next fortnight.
When critics attacked Mrs. Roosevelt, she counterat-tacked. In her daily syndicated column, ''My Day,'' she said she attended the committee hearing to make sure that the youths were not being looked upon ''with suspicion until they are proved guilty.'' She invited seven leaders to lunch at the White House. This reporter's narrative of the affair is almost self-consciously neutral; it notes that ''No previous president's wife has had the hardihood to attend a congressional committee much less so controversial a one as the Dies Committee. Her arrival was a surprise; she was treated courteously and made no comment on the evidence itself, though her sympathy was publicly and emphatically illustrated by her luncheon invitation to the witnesses.''
My account, reread 45 years later, cloaks the emotions that surged just below the surface. I don't know any other president's wife who would have appeared in such circumstances and got away with it. There was some heckling by congressmen. ''Mrs. Roosevelt was the witness of this scene and others,'' I wrote, ''and took notes during the testimony. So familiarly has she identified herself with the Youth Congress that to a considerable degree the effort to find if there is a subversive bias to the congress involves her personally. ... Mrs. Roosevelt has volunteered to appear before the committee if called; the committee has announced that it would be glad to hear Mrs. Roosevelt if she volunteered. But neither side was prepared to take the responsibility for the step. ...''
And the President? He had plenty of other things to think about. I explain that he had ''characterized the committee's publication of the names of federal workers on the mailing or membership list of the League for Peace and Democracy as a 'sordid business.' '' So there was no difference between the presidential couple here.
It was an intense time. Would FDR run for a third term? Would war overflow Europe? In the summer of 1939 Nazi Germany swallowed Austria and Czechoslovakia and in September joined Russia to smash Poland. The world hung on the brink. Who cared if Mrs. Roosevelt testified? Secretary of State Cordell Hull told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Roosevelt believed ''Hitler will march in September unless we pass this legislation'' (repeal of the constricting Neutrality Act). Isolationist Sen. William E. Borah told a White House meeting that there would be no war this year. How did he know? ''I have my own sources of information which are superior to those of your State Department,'' he said simply. A goodwill visit to America by the British King and Queen allowed the two ruling families to eat hot dogs at a picnic at Hyde Park. ...
To come back to the incident that prompted these reminiscences of Mrs. Roosevelt - she gave her own account of the affair in her book, ''This I Remember'': ''I sat through most of the hearings of the Dies Committee because I had heard that when they had people before them who seemed to have little influence or backing, their questions were so hostile as to give the impression that the witness had been haled before a court and prejudged a criminal. If there is one thing I dislike, it is intimidating people instead of trying to get the facts.
''At one point, where the questioning seemed to me to be particularly harsh, I asked to go over and sit at the press table. I took a pencil and a piece of paper, and the tone of the questioner changed immediately.''
Ah, me; she invited them to lunch at the White House! She was the eyes and ears of the President. Her presence was captured in the now famous New Yorker cartoon, when one miner says to another of a third figure coming into view, ''For gosh sakes, here comes Mrs. Roosevelt!'' Everyone understood.
