The mlocate package enables the updatedb.timer by a link in /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants to /usr/lib/systemd/system/updatedb.timer.
This is done by the package installation/update (so cannot be changed).
updatedb.timer :
Description=Daily locate database update
'daily' in fact means at 00:00:00 each day, ie midnight.
So if the computer is shut down before midnight each day, and re-booted the next morning, I see that the updatedb.service is executed immediately during the boot, and takes ~30seconds; so it's not finished at the time of the user logging in.
The AccuracySec parameter (which should give a 00-12:00:00 interval to the timer) is ignored by the Persistent option.
I want to change that, by modifying the OnCalendar line to:
which should mean each day at midday rather than midnight.
But I am not sure how to do that, without editing any files from the mlocate package.
Is creating my own modified updatedb.timer in /etc/systemd/system and
creating another link to it in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants the way to go?
Can there be two links to two updatedb.timer files for the multi-user.target:
one in /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants and
one in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants ?
I am not sure if this is the right way to do this.

I'm not sure what exactly do you want.
Have you tried using e.g.
to delay starting updatedb after you boot the system?
Thanks Karol
But if I change a file inside a package installed by pacman, it will be overwritten at the next update.
So I am looking for a way without touching any file in the package mlocate.
BTW can you confirm that the 'OnActiveSec' and the 'OnCalendar' parameters can be used simultaneously with the 'Persistent=true' option?

See the 11th paragraph of the DESCRIPTION section of systemd.unit(5).

See the 11th paragraph of the DESCRIPTION section of systemd.unit(5).
Along with a unit file foo.service, a directory foo.service.d/ may exist. All files with the suffix ".conf" from this
directory will be parsed after the file itself is parsed. This is useful to alter or add configuration settings to a unit,
without having to modify their unit files. Make sure that the file that is included has the appropriate section headers
before any directive.
Does this apply also to a foo.timer unit, because it says foo.service?
And can I place this 'updatedb.timer.d' directory in /etc/systemd/system/ rather than /usr/lib/systemd/system/ ?

It works, following the paragraph cited above in 'man systemd.unit', on .timer files also.
With the addition of this file:
I prefered to work in /etc/systemd/system, because it is the place for local configurations;
that works as expected:
$ systemctl status updatedb.timer
* updatedb.timer - Daily locate database update
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/updatedb.timer; static)
Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/updatedb.timer.d
Active: active (waiting) since sam. 2014-04-19 10:57:37 CEST; 5h 16min ago
and in journalctl:
avril 19 12:00:13 arch64 systemd[1]: Starting Update locate database...
avril 19 12:00:25 arch64 systemd[1]: Started Update locate database.
Thanks Stebalien for pointing me to the solution.
Edit: I changed the name of the file to 'updatedb.timer.conf' to prevent confusion with '/etc/updatedb.conf'

Unhappily this is [NOT SOLVED].
This morning, updatedb still started immediately during the boot, then it was started again at 12:00.
As my purpose is to prevent updatedb to run at boot time, this is not solved.
It is as if the drop-in conf file change of OnCalendar value is set only after the program has already started due to the Persistent option.
Takes a boolean argument. If true, the time when the service unit was last triggered is stored on disk. When the timer
is activated, the service unit is triggered immediately if it would have been triggered at least once during the time
when the timer was inactive.
The 'immediately' way seems to prevent using a drop-in conf file to change the OnCalendar value before the service is first triggered.
Maybe it is because I put the conf file in '/etc/systemd/system/updatedb.timer.d', I will try to move it to '/usr/lib/systemd/system/updatedb.timer.d'.
And will see tomorrow for the result.

The move of the drop-in conf file to '/usr/lib/systemd/system/updatedb.timer.d' doesn't solve the problem either:
$ systemctl status updatedb.timer
* updatedb.timer - Daily locate database update
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/updatedb.timer; static)
Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/updatedb.timer.d
Active: active (waiting) since lun. 2014-04-21 10:31:54 CEST; 1h 5min ago
avril 21 10:31:54 arch64 systemd[1]: Starting Daily locate database update.
avril 21 10:31:54 arch64 systemd[1]: Started Daily locate database update.
avril 21 10:31:55 arch64 systemd[1]: Starting Update locate database...
avril 21 10:32:31 arch64 systemd[1]: Started Update locate database.
avril 21 12:00:07 arch64 systemd[1]: Starting Update locate database...
avril 21 12:00:07 arch64 systemd[1]: Started Update locate database.
The 'Persistent' option seems to prevail on further changes made through drop-in conf files.
I think that any additions/changes made using drop-in conf files will be done after the 'Persistent' option causes the immediate triggering of the service unit of the timer (if it finds the original OnCalendar missed).
I now will come back to my first idea (in the OP) to try to solve that issue:
# cd /usr/lib/systemd/system
# cp updatedb.timer /etc/systemd/system
# cd /etc/systemd/system
# vim updatedb.timer
# cat updatedb.timer
Description=Daily locate database update
# cd multi-user.target.wants
# ln -s ../updatedb.timer
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl status updatedb.timer
* updatedb.timer - Daily locate database update
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/updatedb.timer; enabled)
Active: active (waiting) since lun. 2014-04-21 10:31:54 CEST; 4h 28min ago
This is based on the prevalence of '/etc/systemd/system' vs '/usr/lib/systemd/system' when units of the same name are found.
I will see tomorrow if updatedb will stop running during boot and will wait till 12:00 to be launched.
Edit: I forgot to say that I removed the drop-in conf files before doing this of course.

The method in my previous post reaches the target:
$ journalctl -b|grep database
avril 22 09:46:42 arch64 systemd[1]: Starting Daily locate database update.
avril 22 09:46:42 arch64 systemd[1]: Started Daily locate database update.
avril 22 12:00:23 arch64 systemd[1]: Starting Update locate database...
avril 22 12:00:36 arch64 systemd[1]: Started Update locate database.
The modified updatedb.timer unit from /etc/systemd/system is started at boot, but the updatedb.service unit is triggered at 12.00 as expected.
So this is a solution to choose the OnCalendar value, and so to prevent the service from running during boot.
I think that the Persistent option should be able to delay the triggering of a missed timer, rather than doing that immediately during boot.
I think also that 'OnCalendar=daily' should mean within the last 24 hours rather than at midnight only.
Of course changing the OnCalendar value directly in the updatedb.timer installed by the package is easier;
or re-building the mlocate package from the ABS, after a change of the OnCalendar value.
But this will require to repeat it at every update of the mlocate package (though no so frequent).
Nevertheless there exists a way to obtain the same, without modifying the installed mlocate package.

You could try editing /etc/systemd/system/updatedb.timer.d/updatedb.timer.conf to look like:
Some settings need to be reset before being replaced although that doesn't seem to apply to Description= fields.
Thanks Smudge
But I don't use the drop-in conf files method anymore, in this case at least, because the Persistent option in the timer operates before it applies the changes made in the conf files.
Ah, I didn't read the previous posts well enough. Why not try setting Persistent=false:
$ cat /etc/systemd/system/updatedb.timer.d/updatedb.timer.conf
I've only briefly tested this but I think it's working.
Thanks Smudge
But I don't use the drop-in conf files method anymore, in this case at least, because the Persistent option in the timer operates before it applies the changes made in the conf files.
No, I think smudge is right. Your drop-in conf file adds a second timer, so you're telling it to run updatedb twice a day, at 0:00 and at 12:00. If you then shut down the computer somewhere between 12:00 and 0:00, and reboot the next day between 0:00 and 12:00, the 0:00 hasn't fired yet so it will (due to Persistent=True) start immediately.
If you clear the OnCalendar= setting first (assuming this works as expected), the new 12:00 calendar event will be the only trigger and you can leave Persistent=true in case the computer isn't running at 12:00. You could also not reset the OnCalendar setting and instead add the new 12:00 time combined with Persistent=false. Then you might miss an update, but if the computer is always running around 12:00 and never around 0:00, it should be triggered only at midday. And of course other variations are then also possible.

"Think about it" said Anita as she left Sushma alone to ponder.
The past two days as she went about her morning walks, her eyes were in search of someone desperately and were not like her normal morning walks.
Sitting in her office, her mind kept overworking about absence of Neel during his morning walks. She wondered if he too got the drift about what was going around and decided it's best to end this relationship. All kind of thoughts kept coming even as she kept staring at the mails that awaited her reply.
They had met during their morning walks when she had sprained her leg and he helped her. One thing led to another and they became good friends who would end up having long conversations. As they lived nearby, they would often provide each other company in one another's house.
Everything was going fine, until one day on her routine morning walk, she heard another walker telling her friend about how she was trapping the good looking young Neel in her love trap.
Her world had come shattering down when she heard about the gossip that going around about her and Neel, all of which made her wondered about her relationship with Neel.
She considered him a good friend and enjoyed her time with him and would miss him when there were days they did not spoke.
Her mind raced into the past looking for clues to know if there was more to their friendship. Lost in her thoughts she stood in front of the mirror going through minute details of her looks and figure as she imagined Neel besides her.
"Love can happen at any age, it does not see who it falls in love with" said Anita to her whom she had confided about the rumors going on and about her feelings.
"Age is not an issue as long as you both know that you are in love and this what you wanted". However she also warned her that our society has not matured enough to accept the thought of an older women falling in love with man younger to her. "Think about it" she said and left.
That evening, even as the television played out in front of her, she stood lost in her thoughts when the ringing of her mobile and flashing of Neel's name on the screen got her attention.
He informed her that he had to go on a sudden business trip and hence his disappearance. As they chirped along lost in their conversations, she decided to keeping her feelings wrapped until the right moment came along…

After Amin
Victoria Brittain
- Uganda: A Modern History by Jan Jelmert Jorgensen
Croom Helm, 384 pp, £13.95, May 1981, ISBN 0 85664 643 1
- Imperialism and Revolution in Uganda by Wadada Nabudere
Onyx Press/Tanzania Publishing House, 376 pp, £14.25, March 1981, ISBN 0 906383 06 4
Two years after the overthrow of Idi Amin in Uganda three governments have come and gone, and the fourth presides over a country whose British-created institutions are empty shells and where the only authority is violence. President Milton Obote returned to power after nine years in exile by means of an election so flawed by violence under the veneer of respectability provided by Britain and the Commonwealth that thousands of Ugandans have died, fled abroad, been detained without trial or gone underground in the wake of what should have been the country's rebirth. Pockets of the country have reverted to local control wielded by tribal warlords. The members of the educated élite have mostly decided there is no place for them in a context of pre-colonial fragmentation: Uganda was a British creation and it has not produced a strong enough sense of nationalism to entice these people to exchange London, Washington and Nairobi for the Herculean task of rebuilding Uganda. They are permanent exiles now, educating a new generation of privileged, rootless international civil servants and businessmen.
Both these books trace the original economic considerations which brought Britain to colonise Uganda in the 19th century. Lord Salisbury, Queen Victoria's Conservative Prime Minister, put it like this:
Administration of the country is not the sole or the main object that should interest us. It is our business in all these new countries to make smooth the paths for British commerce, British enterprise, the application of British capital at a time when other paths, other outlets for the commercial energies of our race are gradually closed by commercial principles ... and I confess that not wholly but in a great measure this great undertaking of England with respect to Uganda has been taken for the reason that it is a country of enormous fertility and has what many countries of fertility have not.
The story of the building of the railway from Mombasa, of the forcible introduction of cash crops to recoup the capital costs, and taxes to administer the venture, by an alliance of British business, church and government interests with local chiefs, is well told in both books from a similar, anti-British point of view. For the average peasant the benefits were 'negligible', according to Jorgensen: 'Integration into the world system was accompanied or preceded by epidemics, wars of pacification, forced labour, increased taxes and rent, conscription for war service and a sharp drop in population as well as by higher incomes for some, more consumer goods and the introduction of schools and hospitals.' Nabudere supplies a wonderfully revealing 19th-century quotation to show British church and business interests united in the transformation of patterns of Ugandan life. Sir Charles Eliot:
If the African Christian was to abandon his place on the old ladders of economic prosperity and social prestige by practising monogamy, he must be compensated by learning a trade or new methods of agriculture which would open the way to new ambitions. If his children were to sleep at home and live a Christian family life, he must have a house with two rooms instead of one. If he was to read his Bible his house must have windows to admit the light and therefore it must be square and not conical. If his children were to be educated he must learn to do without their services on the farm and yet earn enough to pay their school fees. Again, to pay the government tax and his church tithe he must have ready money; and if he were not to leave his family to work on a railway or a plantation he must produce not only for himself but for the market.
For Sir Charles, what distinguished Ugandans from other Africans was their rapid assimilation of European ideas and the resulting keenness to buy European goods.

Pure 18 Jackie Daniels and Stephanie Cane
By: Rex - Saturday, March 21, 2009
What's better than one hot teen? A hot teen with an even hotter friend. Two tight teen pussies for the price of one. Schwing!
Jackie Daniels and Stephanie Cane decided that they wanted to to smoke a little weed and set up a delivery from a guy they recently met. Sucks to be them, because he's really an undercover cop. He didn't care about all their excuses, but when they said they'd be willing to pay a fine without going to court, Officer Jordan was ready to let them off the hook - of course there's a price these two hot teens have to pay.

It's okay to be confused in life. In fact, that is probably the most common state of existence. Camus had baseless nausea. Holden couldn't figure out how to save all the children from becoming adults, including himself. We all misinterpret Nabokov's tragicomedy Lolita to be an erotic novel rather than an unsolvable riddle as Nabokov himself described: "She was like the composition of a beautiful puzzle -- its composition and its solution at the same time, since one is a mirror of the other, depending on the way you look." (Vladimir Nabokov, Playboy interview, 1963)
We mistake sex for love. We confuse desire with necessity. We get lost in cities laid out on a grid system. We mix up our priorities and then soothe ourselves with distractions to further displace the disorientation. We still believe even when we don't want to. We exist in commotion, bewilderment, and perplexity. The path is never clear.
And that is okay. Because that is life. But it's not okay when we are dealing with song lyrics. Yes, we all know there's not a bathroom on the right... ("There's a bad moon on the rise...") or do we? There is no "Olive, the other reindeer..." And though Robert Palmer might be annoying, he probably didn't comment of himself: "Might as well face it... You're a d**k with a glove..." or maybe he did. One of my childhood friends used to belt out: "I want a new truck!" until her father let her on as to what the Huey Lewis song was really about. Here's an entire list of misheard song lyrics, a.k.a. mondegreens.
More broadly, Toptenz.net has a list of the top 10 misunderstood songs. Included on this list at the #1 spot is the Boss's classic, "Born in the USA," which people still think to be a patriotic song "when in fact it was a political message about the Vietnam War. Those that listened to the passionate and catchy chorus of 'BORN IN THE USA! I'm a cool rockin' Daddy in the USA,' ignored the embittered verse, which went: 'Sent me off to a foreign land, To go and kill the yellow man.'" Speaking of the Boss, he wrote the often misheard song more famously recorded by Manfred Mann who, probably because he was "blinded by the light," ended up "wrapped up like a douche in the middle of the night..."
But here's a fun game that I am borrowing from Am I Right which is an entire website devoted to misheard and misunderstood songs and their wacky lyrics. The game works as follows. Take a song whose title is a question. Then answer said question with a completely different song. The permutations are endless! To make the game harder, you can require that the band that answers one question become the following question. Here are a few of mine:
"Who let the dogs out?" (Baha Men).................................."Baby it's you" (Ke$ha)
"Who's next?" (Ke$ha).................................."Parasites will be so excited when you're dead" (Modest Mouse)
"Birds vs. worms"? (Modest Mouse).................................."The bird and the worm" (The Used)
"It could be a good excuse" (The Used).................................."Yes, she is my skinhead" (Green Day)
"Why does it always rain on me?" (Green Day).................................."Because of you" (Kelly Clarkson)
"Why you wanna bring me down?" (Kelly Clarkson).................................."Bitch I'm special" (Rihanna)
"What's my name?" (Rihanna).................................."A boy named Sue"(Johnny Cash)
"Why do you punish me?" (Johnny Cash).................................."You hurt me" (Jagged Edge)
"Where the party at?" (Jagged Edge).................................."Bend over" (Lil' Boosie)
"Where would I be?" (Lil' Boosie).................................."Where the streets have no name" (U2)
"With or without you?" (U2).................................."You can't win" (Lil' Kim)
"How many licks?" (Lil' Kim).................................."Almost there" (Alicia Keys)
"How come you don't call me?" (Alicia Keys).................................."Lost in the supermarket" (The Clash)
"Should I stay or should I go?" (The Clash).................................."Follow me" (Usher)
"Can you handle it?" (Usher).................................."My poor brain" (Foo Fighters)
"What if I do?" (Foo Fighters).................................."0% interest" (Jason Mraz)
"Did you get my message?" (Jason Mraz).................................."I've been away" (The Who)
"Who are you?" (The Who).................................."I'm a slave for you" (Britney Spears)
"Why should I be sad?" (Britney).................................."Oops I did it again" (Britney)
Yeah, Britney can answer her own damn question. Life imitates art.... as always.

How To Create A Blog Page To Display Your Latest Posts – Newbie WordPress Tutorials
In another article, we have showed you how to specify any page on your website as your home page.
If you go through that tutorial, you will learn that, used right "out of the box", WordPress acts as a "blog" and presents a self-updating list of recently-published blog posts.
On a blog page, your blog users can see the headlines and first paragraph or two of the content displayed for each blog post published, and links to separate post pages which contain the full article (e.g. "click here to learn more"…)
Note: How your blog posts display on your site depends on the WordPress theme you use.
To learn more about WordPress themes, see this article: WP Themes – An Introduction
We then showed you how to change your site from looking like a "blog" that displays a dynamic list of recently-published posts, to looking more like a "website" with a fixed home page …
Go here if you would like to learn more: How To Create A Static Home Page In WordPress
Now, what if you want to use your site as both a website and a blog, so visitors can be greeted by a home page when landing on your site like a regular website, but also be able to view your most recent articles on a "blog" section of your site?
Simple … just create a blog page!
WordPress lets you easily create a "blog" area in your web site that will display new post entries to readers with the latest entries displaying at the top of the page.
In this step-by-step tutorial you are going to learn how to easily create a blog page that will display your latest articles.
Tutorial: How To Create A Blog Page To Display Your Latest Blog Posts
As we have already explained, in a default WordPress installation, your website acts as a blog, showing the newest entries dynamically (i.e. not fixed) on the welcome page.
In this instance, however, we want our website to look like a static web site (i.e. with a "fixed" home page), but also have an additional "blog" page.
To create a Blog Page then, first you need to create a new page.
In your WP admin area, choose Pages > Add New …
You can call this page anything you want (e.g. "Blog", "Updates", "Health Blog," etc). For simplicity's sake, let's call this page "Blog"…
Important: Leave this page entirely blank. Do not add anything into the content editor section.
After adding your new page title, publish your new page to create the Blog Page…
Your Blog Page is now created, but we're not quite done yet. We still have to instruct WordPress to make the Blog Page be the page that will display your blog entries.
After saving and publishing your blog page, choose Settings > Reading from your WordPress admin menu …
In the Reading Settings area, make sure that you have the following options configured:
- Select A static page.
- In Posts page: find the page you have just created from the dropdown menu.
- Click Save Changes to update your settings …
Now, whenever users click on the "Blog" link on your site, your Blog Page will present them with your most recent blog post entries…
Congratulations! Now you know how to create a blog area on your site that will automatically display your latest published blog post items.
See this tutorial to learn how to change the number of blog posts to display on your WP blog: How To Change The Number Of Blog Posts Displaying On Your WP Blog

Shares of Whole Foods Market (WFM), the well-known operator of natural-foods supermarkets, continue to act well despite jitters in the broader U.S. stock market. Of course, Whole Foods stock doesn't need much introduction to the trading and trend-following community, as it has been on a true tear since late 2008 and has been one heck of a trending stock ever since 2000.
WFM has the beautiful characteristic of either strongly trending up or strongly trending down on the longer-term time frames while spending little time trotting sideways. No wonder traders enjoy Whole Foods stock so much — which is to say, this characteristic feeds on itself as traders take advantage of it.
Although WFM is currently higher by just about 28%, its path was rather choppy through a little more than the first four months of the year. Characterized by a big down-gap in February and a large up-gap in early May, Whole Foods stock ultimately calmed down somewhat in the first half of the summer before resuming its swings … albeit in a less jerky fashion.
After a weak rally attempt in July, WFM again slipped into the early summer consolidation phase in August, which ultimately only served as a retest of support before taking off in the early September rally along with the broader market. Like most other shares, Whole Foods stock rallied on Sept. 18 as a result of the "no taper" decision by the Federal Reserve.
Unlike the broader market, however, the subsequent selling in WFM shares was much less on a percentage basis, and Whole Foods now is only about 1% below its year-to-date highs, compared to more than 2.5% for the S&P 500.
Furthermore, during the past two weeks, WFM's consolidation pattern came in the form of a bullish wedge, which looks to be ready to accelerate to the upside, while at the same time offering traders a good line in the sand at $57.60 on the downside.

Janata Party President DR. Subramanian Swamy has demanded that steps should be taken to protect and conserve strategic reserves of monazite sands in south India -- a major source of thorium.
In a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Dr. Swamy claimed there have been some cases of illicit exports of such sands from southern India and cases in this regard have been pending in courts.
"Protection of the strategic mineral sands should be entrusted to a joint command of Central Paramilitary or better still Armed Forces to overcome the present intolerable situation of private mafias controlling access," he said

Honour Lucy Massage Tantra Expert.
English Mature Independent Tantric Massage Experience.
Tantric Massage can help you explore the 9 Noble Virtues. Honour is the first virtue that I am writing about.
These modern days provide a difficult back drop to be yourself. By experiencing a Real Tantric Massage Experience you can explore your journey back to yourself. Relaxing your body and your mind will help you to get back to yourself. Allow yourself to be free to Honour yourself. Take care of your body and your mind. This is important for you to feel inner balance.
Honour is the feeling of inner value and worth from which one knows that one is noble of being, and the desire to show respect for this quality when it is found in the world. Of all the Virtues, this one is often the hardest to define, as each person's interpretation of this is different. It could translate as "self-image", or "self-esteem", and is important to recognise that this will be different from person to person.
Honour: The Eddic poem "Sayings of the High One" contains the stanza: "Cattle die, kinsmen die, one day you yourself shall die, but the reputation of the dead never dies." Think of your honour as your worth in the community. Are you known as a fine, upstanding member of the folk? Do people come to you for advice, and trust your word when it is given? Or do they avoid you, and always look for confirmation of something you tell them? The answer may be a good indication of how your honour is viewed by others.
Honour: Our honour is our worth, without worth, we are nothing. Without honour, we are doomed to the darkest expanses of Hellheim; without worth, we do not further our folk, kin, or ourselves, but instead hold back that evolution for which we strive. Our deeds attest to our honour, and our works prove our worth- we must strive to maintain and further our honour and worth as individuals and as a folk overall. We must strive to be, and ultimately prove to be worthy of our place beside the Irminsul!
Our deeds, both foul and fair outlive us, and carry the burden or glory of our Beings- we cannot allow ourselves to accrue the baggage of shame or disgrace that our children and their children would subsequently bear!
A bonny fire is a blessing to man,
and eke the sight of the sun,
his hearty health, if he holds it well,
and to live one's life without shame.
All undone is no one, though at death's door he lie:
some with good sons are blessed,
and some with kinsmen, or with coffers full,
and some with deeds well-done.

Grand Theft Auto Online developer Rockstar Games says a patch fixing a range of problems with the game will be released today, 4 October, as in-game GTA$ micropayments system is suspended.
Update: Rockstar says the PS3 patch is out now, and the Xbox 360 update will be available "as soon as possible today".
Original story:
Rockstar had warned gamers to expect problems as it launched the online feature of Grand Theft Auto 5 on 1 October, and as predicted many player were unable to log into the service, with updates crashing mid-download, freezing, slow loading times and general instability.
On 3 October, the developers took the decision to suspend the ability to purchase GTA$, the in-game currency, with real money but in the meantime players can still earn money by performing jobs - such as bank robberies - and other profitable activities.
Read More: Grand Theft Auto 5 Review
Now, Rockstar hopes to release a software patch, stating on its blog: "We're currently working on a title update for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 to address commonly reported issues with GTA Online. We hope to have it out for download as soon as tomorrow [4 October]."
The company has posted a dedicated article listing the most common technical issues being reported by gamers which it is working to fix, including:
- "Rockstar Cloud Servers Unavailable" error message
- "Failed to Host a GTA Online Session" error messages
- Errors saying "Timed out when matchmaking for a compatible GTA Online Session to join"
- Errors about jobs failing to start or load
- Misc. network and server-related error messages, disconnections, or cloud server errors
- Errors saying "Mission Failed" as soon as the mission begins during a session
- Long matchmaking load screens, eventually timing out after 10-15 minutes
- Offline (disc-based) and online content mixing on the Jobs list
- Ending up in a free-roam session with no jobs/markers on the map while playing as a temporary character during a cloud outage
The good news for PlayStation 3 users, is that Rockstar claims to have fixed an issue limiting the number of possible concurrent players, which was preventing many from accessing GTA Online altogether.
Working around the clock
Rockstar pledges to "iron out" these issues as soon as possible, adding: "Please know that the entire team here at Rockstar and all of our relevant partners are and will continue to be working around the clock to get the experience to be as smooth as possible, as soon as possible."

text: Although large amounts of "dark fiber" — that is, unused fiber cables laid across cities, nations and oceans — still exist in the world today, the demand for capacity is constantly increasing. To satisfy this demand, telecom scientists are searching for techniques to expand the capacity of existing fibers. Many laboratories are trying to cram more information onto each wavelength in the fiber by increasing the data rate. Elsewhere, scientists are squeezing more and more distinct wavelengths into the narrow C-band — between 1530 and 1565 nm — where optical fibers and other telecom components perform optimally. Complementing these efforts, other scientists are examining systems that operate outside the C-band, particularly in the S- and L-bands, as a means to expand the spectrum available to wavelength division multiplexing.A less-investigated approach to increase a given fiber's capacity is mode division multiplexing. This entails launching several propagation modes, each carrying different information, into a multimode fiber and demultiplexing them at the other end to obtain a separate data stream from each. A few laboratories have described successful breadboard demonstrations of such systems and their components, but one shortcoming has been the lack of flexibility in launching the multiple modes into the fiber.Recently, researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in Daejeon designed and demonstrated a variable optical-mode generator capable of converting the 1.55-μm radiation propagating in a single-mode waveguide into any of several high-order modes in a multimode waveguide.The mode generator comprises an incoming single-mode waveguide; a power-divider section that splits the incoming power into four phase-retarding, single-mode arms; and a junction where the power in the arms is combined (Figure 1). The modes that are created in the multimode waveguide at the combining junction depend on the relative phase differences introduced in the four arms.Figure 1. The optical mode generator converts power entering from the single-mode waveguide at the bottom into the desired high-order mode in the multimode waveguide at the top. Different high-order modes are generated by changing the phase retardation in the four arms. (L1 = 1.5 cm, L2 = L4 = 0.475 cm, L3 = 0.5 cm, L5 = 2 cm, d = 25 μm, W = 20 μm, w = 5 μm, θ = 0.3°.) Reprinted with permission of IEEE Photonics Technology Letters.The scientists adjusted the phase retardation of each arm thermo-optically by applying voltage to a heater on each. The phase difference among the four arms at the junction depends on the device's geometry, the length of the arms and the voltage applied to the heater on each arm. The scientists arbitrarily defined the "initial condition" as occurring when applied voltages create the E×31 mode in the multimode waveguide (Figure 2a). Then, by applying the appropriate voltage to the heater on each arm, they could convert the single-mode input into any desired multimode output (Figures 2b, 2c and 2d). Figure 2. The "initial condition" is defined as having the heater voltages adjusted to produce the situation in (a). In these pictures, the bottom-most curve represents the single-mode power entering the device from the bottom. The second-from-bottom curve shows how the power is divided among the four arms. The four curves above the arms represent the power emerging from each arm, and the single curve at top shows how these four combine to generate a high-order mode in the multimode waveguide. In (b), (c) and (d), the Y or N on each arm indicates whether or not that arm's heater has applied a π-phase change (relative to a).They observed mode conversion efficiencies varying from 88 percent to greater than 99 percent for the four modes illustrated in the figure. The unconverted light propagated as unwanted modes in the multimode waveguide.In a mode division multiplexed system, it can be desirable to convert one high-order mode to another. The scientists noted that a pair of their mode generators, fabricated back-to-back, could serve as an effective mode converter.IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, Oct. 15, 2006, pp. 2084-2086.

What are the features of the BankVic Superfuture RSA Term Deposit?
Low risk investment
This is a low risk investment, the only risks are a negative change in the interest rate or a significant change in the superannuation law. You can expect a secured return with this investment.
Contributions around your term deposit
This account has certain rules that pertain to who is allowed to contribute. If you are under the age of 65, any RSA holder may make contributions, to their own or their spouse's account, regardless of their employment. However, from 65 and up, there are strict guidelines that should be followed.
Tax advantages
It offers the tax advantages of a retirement superannuation. This means that you will not be taxed on monthly income from this fund if you satisfy the requirements as set out by the tax authority. Any other superannuation accounts can be transferred to this account without needing to pay any entry fees. The interest will accumulate, at the full rate, from the date of transfer. If the source from which the income originates is an untaxed source, the superannuation can be subject to tax.
Capital assurance
This is given, as required by law. It must be noted that this is only a protection against negative interest being charged, the account may still be reduced by fees and charges.
Financial claims scheme
The possibility of being covered for up to $250,000 by the government's financial claims scheme. See the Financial Claims Scheme, on the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) website for more information.
$0 ongoing fees
No entry or administration fees will be charged on this account. There is however an exit fee of $49, which will be charged to the account for each withdrawal or transfer from the account, as well as a pension payment fee of $85. The pension payment fee will be charged annually on 30 June or upon termination.
Limited access to funds
No access to your funds for 6, 12 or 24 months.This limitation is in accordance with superannuation requirements and rules. Once you reach retirement or the preservation age, you can access your funds in a lump sum, as an account based income stream or as a combination of the two.
Early withdrawal rules
The withdrawal of deposits before maturity will, as a rule, not be allowed. However, under special circumstances this will be possible and will most likely also lead to a reduction in interest.
Competitive interest rates
The rates before taxes and government charges are calculated daily and will be credited to the account annually on 30 June and on maturity. Rates vary from 2.40% per annum for a 6 and 12 month lock-in period and 2.70% p.a. for a 24 month period.
- No entry or administration fees
- Low risk investment
- No exposure to possibility of loss of capital invested
- Minimum deposit of $50,000
What you'll need to know about the BankVic Superfuture RSA Term Deposit before applying
Eligibility to apply online
- Depository requirements. A minimum deposit of $50,000 is required.
- Membership. As BankVic is a mutual bank, an account can only be opened for members of the bank. There are, however, certain exceptions when you will also qualify.

This is an anniversary group mission introduced with EverQuest's 15th anniversary. It begins with Reebo Leafsway (click for map image) in the Plane of Knowledge (a little ways south of the main bank).
Pre-Requisites for Requesting:
- No tasks
- Level 65
Say "tool" to get the task and "farm" to zone in.
Triggering the Task
You say, 'Hail, Reebo Leafsway'
Reebo Leafsway says 'Poor Shakey. His best days are behind him, and even though we've stuffed him full of hay many times over, he's still just as old and tired as ever. He could use a little [sprucing up].'
You say, 'Sprucing up?'
Reebo Leafsway says 'I've heard stories of strange crops popping up in West Karana near the Miller's farm. Some say the [soil] has magical powers and can only be tilled by special tools. If the rumors are true, this sounds like just the thing that will return Shakey to his former glory!'
You say, 'Soil?'
Reebo Leafsway says 'I haven't seen any soil samples myself, but I hear it's almost impossible to till. Any shovel that attempts to break ground gets shattered. If we build the right [tool] though, I bet we can work the soil and grow enough hay to spruce up Shakey.'
You say, 'What tool?'
Reebo Leafsway says 'We'll need to craft a tool that's able to break through the toughest soil. The trusted Wee Harvester is a bit outdated, but with the right materials, we can improve the original design.' Reebo jots a few things down on a piece of paper before handing it to you with a smile, 'Head to the [farm] and see what supplies you can find.'
You have been assigned the task 'Sprucing Up Shakey'.
Shakey needs some new stuffing, harvested from the magical soil on the Miller's farm.
You say, 'Send me to the farm'
Reebo Leafsway says 'Speak to Cleet Miller when you arrive. He runs the farm.'
You have entered The Western Plains of Karana.
Speak with Cleet Miller at his farm 0/1 (West Karana)
Cleet Miller is found in a small house at /location -2255, -4130, 0.
You say, 'Hail, Cleet Miller'
Cleet Miller says 'Howdy, _____. Welcome to Miller's Farmstead. I am Cleet Miller. [Henina] and I own this here field o' crops, though we're having a bit of trouble with the harvest. Our fields are covered with clods of strange dirt. They're impossible to [till].'
You say, 'Henina?'
Cleet Miller says 'Henina is my loving wife of twenty-five years. She is a beautiful woman and the proud mother of five great kids; [Cleet Junior], [Baobob], [Tiny], [Chanda], and [Furball]. Henina loves them all very much, even though most of them ain't our natural-born children.'
You say, 'Cleet Junior?'
Cleet Miller says 'Cleet Jr. is the youngest and the only natural-born child Henina and I have. He is a bit of a troubled lad and resents the hard work of a farmer's life. I hope he comes around and takes over the farm when I am dead and gone.'
You say, 'Baobob?'
Cleet Miller says 'Chanda and Baobob don't live with us here on the farm anymore. They are hunters and tanners and moved west several seasons ago. I am quite proud of them. When we found them, they were just toddlers. The caravan they and their momma were traveling with was attacked by bandits. Baobob managed to spirit his sister away to safety but their momma died that day. Tiny found them sleeping in our field and we took them in and raised them as our own.'
You say, 'Tiny?'
Cleet Miller says 'Tiny? Oh... Tiny is my adoped son. Me and Henina have taken in all sorts of orphans and given them a home. Henina rescued Tiny from a mob that had killed his momma. He is a good boy and strong as can be. He helps us out a great deal even though some of our neighbors out here can't look past the fact that he's an ogre. Heck, he don't even eat meat, let alone people!'
You say, 'Chanda?'
Cleet Miller says 'Chanda and Baobob don't live with us here on the farm anymore. They are hunters and tanners and moved west several seasons ago. I am quite proud of them. When we found them, they were just toddlers. The caravan they and their momma were traveling with was attacked by bandits. Baobob managed to spirit his sister away to safety but their momma died that day. Tiny found them sleeping in our field and we took them in and raised them as our own.'
You say, 'And Furball?'
Cleet Miller says 'Furball was just a pup when we saw him tussling with a scarecrow in the fields one day. He was all torn up by the time Tiny chased the 'crow off him. He was hurt bad and couldn't git back to Blackburrow 'cause his pa would've killed him for returning a failure. Those Sabertooths have some weird and dangerous customs. Henina tended to his wounds and taught him how to behave proper. He gets feisty sometimes, but we love him just the same and he helps out quite a bit on the farm.'
You say, 'How can you till the fields?'
Cleet Miller says 'I've ruined plenty of good farming tools trying to till that dirt. We need something strong and sturdy. Hugo said he'd send someone to help. If you can build us a tool that's able to till, Henina and I will let you grow your hay here.' Cleet glances over your list of supplies, 'You should be able to find everything you need here in West Karana, though some of these items might be hard to get.''
Loot Burled Wood 0/6 (West Karana)
Loot Tin Ore 0/2 (West Karana)
Loot Faceted Crystal 0/1 (West Karana)
Obtain a Crystal Harvester Mold from Spinner 0/1 (West Karana)
Task Window Says: Gather Burled Wood from treants within West Karana. Gather Tin Ore from goblins in the northwestern section of the plains. Recover a Faceted Crystal from bandits that roam the plains. Spinner won't give you the mold unless you kill his competition, Ollysa and Maldin. Or you could always just kill Spinner...
You'll find treants roaming north and northwest of the Miller farm. Goblins can be found along the northern border between the plains and mountains (northwestern part of the zone). Bandits can be found in the same general area (some roaming; some in static camps).
Spinner is found in a house to the far east at /location -1470, -12850, 11. You can either kill him, or hunt down two other vendors for him:
You say, 'Hail, Spinner'
Spinner says 'I'm afraid I don't have what you're looking for, _____. I have been known to make custom molds for friends in the past, but we're practically strangers! Earn my [friendship], and I'll make you a unique mold.'
You say, 'How would I earn your friendship?'
Spinner says 'The best way to make friends is with favors. Sales haven't been so great lately. I blame the competition. Ollysa and Maldin both have flourishing shops that are stealing my business. How about you put those two out of business, or would you rather be my [enemy] instead of my friend?'
You say, 'I think 'enemy' sounds better!'
Spinner says 'You'll soon find out I make a better friend than an enemy!'
Spinner hits for a max ~22,500; single-target rampages; summons when damaged; and is immune to mez/stun/root (maybe Qeynos should hire him as a guard), so if you can't handle that, you may want to remain friends with him and hunt down the other two vendors.
Ollysa (in a vendor house due north of the farm fields: /loc 465, -4215, 8) and Maldin the Old (found in a house in the very far northwestern corner) are standard mobs. They hit for a max ~12,000 and are immune to mez/stun/root.
Maldin the Old says 'You will pay for this with your life, _____!'
Maldin the Old cries out in pain before falling silently to the ground.
Maldin the Old has been slain by _____!
Ollysa Bladefinder says 'You will pay for this with your life, _____!'
Ollysa Bladefinder cries out in pain before falling silently to the ground.
Ollysa Bladefinder has been slain by _____!
You say, 'Hail, Spinner'
Spinner greets you with a wide grin, 'If it isn't _____, my new best friend. I knew I could count on you. Business is already starting to pick up. Here, I made this mold while you were out. Combine all the materials you've gathered in the forge just outside.'
Combine the Burled Wood, Tin Ore, and Crystal Harvester Mold in the nearby forge 0/1 (West Karana)
A forge is found on the side of Spinner's house. Combine all 10 items (including the Faceted Crystal) in it to produce a "Crystal Harvester". Note: As of a May 2014 patch, this combine can no longer be failed.
Attempt to till the rocky soil at Cleet's farm 0/1 (West Karana)
In the northwestern corner of the Millers' farm field is "untilled rocky soil". Right-click the harvester on this object.
You attempt to till the rocky soil with your Crystal Harvester, but the soil won't break.
Return to Cleet to discuss your findings 0/1 (West Karana)
You say, 'Hail, Cleet Miller'
Cleet Miller listens carefully before responding, 'So the soil wouldn't budge, but your tool didn't break? This is a first! Maybe that harvester of yours just needs a bit of magic? There's an ogre chief to the northeast that dabbles in that sort of thing. He's not too friendly, but I can't think of anyone else that would know how to enchant a farm tool.'
Question Chief Goonda about how to enchant the harvester 0/1 (West Karana)
Chief Goonda's camp is found at the end of the dead-end path in the middle of the zone, around /loc -670, -9140, 56.
You say, 'Hail, Chief Goonda'
Chief Goonda says 'Only the spirits can enchant such an item, but they do not make themselves known for just anyone. You must call them forth and offer something of value for their presence, and in their presence, you must prove your worth. When you return to me with something of value, I will call forth the spirits.'
Bring an Immaculate Animal Pelt to Chief Goonda 0/1 (West Karana)
Note: The task locks upon the turn-in of this item.
Run around the zone and kill animal mobs until you loot an "Immaculate Animal Pelt" (note: this is a NO-TRADE version of the item), and then hand it in to Chief Goonda (be prepared for a fight).
Chief Goonda begins to chant in an unknown tongue as he places the pelt beneath the large stone statue. As his chants continue, tiny specks of light begin to swirl in the air above, eventually coming together to form a spectral wisp. Goonda raises his head and nods in your direction, 'It is time. You must prove your worth by battling the ancient spirit.'
An Ancient Spirit swirls with strength and hostility.
Prove your worth by battling the Ancient Spirit! 0/1 (West Karana)
This mob hits for a max ~12,500. If you got this far, it's easy enough to handle. DPS it to low health, and it goes unaggro.
An Ancient Spirit calms, no longer willing to fight. A soothing voice fills your mind, 'Well done, _____. I can see much strength within you. The spirits have decided to grant your request.'
Give the Crystal Harvester to the Ancient Spirit 0/1 (West Karana)
An Ancient Spirit glows brightly.
You receive an "Enchanted Crystal Harvester".
Till the rocky soil at Cleet's farm and recover shimmering hay 0/1 (West Karana)
Return to the untilled soil at the farm and right-click the new harvester.
The Enchanted Crystal Harveter breaks through the rocky soil, unearthing something interesting...
Loot "Shimmering Hay" from the 'corpse'.
Tell Cleet Miller of your success 0/1 (West Karana)
You say, 'Hail, Cleet Miller'
Cleet Miller says, 'I see you found the hay you were looking for. That must mean the Enchanted Crystal Harvester worked! If you have time, would you mind tilling the other piles of rocky soil? You can keep whatever you find.'
You created an Enchanted Crystal Harvester, capable of tilling the rocky soil on the Miller's farm. You now have the Shimmering Hay for Shakey's new stuffing.
This completes the task; however, it also spawns several more untilled mounds of soil around the farm. You can continue using the Enchanted Crystal Harvester to till patches of rocky soil on the Miller farm. Among the items you might find:
- Bigger Belt of the River (bonus reward)
- Wee'er Harvester (bonus reward)
- Dirty Cloth Cap (vendor bait)
- Dirty Roots (vendor bait)
- Dirty Socks (vendor bait)
- Holagato's Claws (vendor bait)
- Marcy's Diary (vendor bait)
- Proteomic's Old Slippers (vendor bait)
- Tuft of Halfling Toe Hair (vendor bait)
- Arwyn's Aged Ale (vendor bait)
- Wheel of Extra Stinky Cheese (vendor bait)
- Yewe's Favorite Doll (vendor bait)
After about 6-8 tills, the Harvester stops functioning:
The Enchanted Crystal Harvester breaks into dozens of small pieces as it makes contact with the rocky soil.
250 platinum
Experience (about 6 AAs at Level 100)
5 Commemorative Coins
Bonus Rewards:
- Bigger Belt of the River (possible loot at the end of the task; doesn't always drop)
- Wee'er Harvester (possible loot at the end of the task; doesn't always drop)
Commemorative Coins are used to purchase items from "a jubilant merchant" (click for map image), found in the northernmost tent in the neutral district (close to The Nexus portal stone).

Villino di Porporano – the affordable Luxury B&B country house, Parma
When I first arrived at Villino to collect my clients for our Parma food tour, I was amazed how near it was to town … 8 minutes by car and here I was surrounded by countryside and the aroma of fresh coffee.
Elena arrived at the elegant gates of this wonderful country home.. greeted not only by her immediacy but by her two pooches who immediately gave my shins a delightful massage!"Come in Nick … want a coffee?"
Truth be known I'd just grabbed one but seeing the beautifully poured cappuccini on the table in the dining room I opted for another… that's two in the space of half an hour! God help my tourists!
Then followed the most delicious home baked brioche and I felt completely at home…
"Where are you from Elena?"
"Near Abbruzzo in the centre but my husband is from Parma… I have just finished renovations here…"
"It looks fantastic… I love the style mix…"
Elena responded with a modesty so typical of Italians who really have a wealth of talent… yet decline such flattery.
The place is gorgeous and opens out in many directions into the garden, patios and into the beautiful dining area with rooms a generous extension of this masterclass of comfort casa interior design.
Coming from an interiors background I was and still am impressed.
Villino is the perfect retreat from the whirl and makes a perfect romance or relax location with now a new pool – a big tick now for all the boxes.
But what really makes this place special is Elena and her family and in a city where to be honest genuine accommodation is not surprisingly a plenty the Villino is one of a hand full of places we regularly recommend to our clients.
That aside the food and trimmings are a dream!
Welcome to Parma…

In a sudden change of policy, the government of Singapore today announced it will allow full competition in the telecommunications market beginning the first of April. The decision to lift current restrictions pushes Singapore's telecommunication liberalization plans two years ahead of schedule.
The government said that it has also decided to immediately end restrictions on both direct and indirect foreign investment in and ownership of all public telecommunications services.
Two Singapore-based telecommunications companies, Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. and StarHub Internet Pte. Ltd., quickly responded to the government announcement, saying in press releases that they had immediate intentions to engage in aggressive market competition both in Singapore as well as in the Asia market at large.
Singapore Telecommunications, in Singapore, can be reached at +65-838-3682 or at http://www.singtel.com/. StarHub is at http://www.starhub.com.sg. The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology is at http://www.gov.sg/mcit/pr/.

Mystery Guitar Man Turns Four iPhones Into Musical Magic
Say what you will about Apple and the iPhone, but it's still an amazing piece of mobile technology. Someone, namely viral hero Mystery Guitar Man, just found a way to make it amazing-er.
Internet virtuoso Joe Penna aka Mystery Guitar Man performed an instrumental rendition of Fun's "We Are Young." Rather than just play the song on his acoustic guitar, he and a few friends concocted a brilliant scheme to play it on a couple of iPhones.
It must have taken a great deal of careful coordination and choreography to pull this off in sync and in real time. As mentioned in the video, this was the result of 238 takes. It also must have taken a heck of a lot of time to shoot and edit the videos on each phone to make they were properly synced up for the final shoot.
Penna has a lot of experience pulling off these complicated video shoots. His YouTube channel features a number of complex music videos. His cover of Tommy Tune's "Jenny (867-5309)" featured a stop motion animation using nothing but 10,000 different colored guitar picks. His "Music with Lights" video used a laser pointer to draw out each note of an orchestral piece. He even animates a dry-erase board as he is drawing it.
Oh, and he also plays guitar.

Citing Saudi and international sources, LBC correspondent Raghida Dergham said that those enjoying themselves right now in Beirut had better think well and hard about the regional reactions. She mentioned possible unilateral actions by some states against those actors and their sponsors to end their attempt to take over Lebanon.
Things now seem to hinge on Saudi, Egyptian, US and French reactions to the events.
Dergham said that even Russia will not be able to oppose retaliatory actions to redress the situation in Lebanon.
In related news, it appears that the US is currently deliberating with security council members on response measures.
Is this what March 14 was banking on? Did Hizbullah walk into a trap? And does this explain why they seem to be in a hurry to create facts on the ground before they are forced to return to their holes?
We'll see.

HOUSTON — Carmelo Anthony smiled as children raced past him to show off their shooting and passing skills Thursday as the N.B.A. began its annual All-Star weekend festivities. Anthony talked with fans, signed autographs and answered a few questions from youngsters during an N.B.A. jam session with his teammate Steve Novak.
Anthony did shoot the ball a few times, too. At no point during his hourlong appearance did he appear to be in pain. The Knicks said they expected Anthony to play in the All-Star Game on Sunday despite the bruised right biceps he sustained in Wednesday's 92-88 loss to the Toronto Raptors. The N.B.A. has also been given no indication that Anthony would not be in uniform for the game.
Anthony is expected to speak with the news media Friday.
Novak, who will compete in the 3-point shooting contest Saturday, was optimistic about Anthony's chances of playing.
"I don't know if he will play, but I can't imagine that he wouldn't," Novak said.
Anthony did not perform well against the Raptors. He said his biceps was bruised when Toronto's DeMar DeRozan elbowed him while driving to the basket. During the second quarter, Anthony said, he was trying to figure out if he needed to alter his shooting form because of the pain.
Anthony went 3 of 9 in the first half. Stretching his shooting arm at halftime "made it a little bit worse," he said. Still, Anthony was undeterred in the second half. He put up another 15 shots — and made only 2 of them — even though he said his arm felt as if it were "dead" during the second half.
"It was just a matter of trying to get through it and trying to get some feeling back into it," Anthony said after the game. He added that he was more concerned about winning the game than his injury. "You're not really thinking about it," he said. "It was just one of those nights."
Anthony is best known as a scorer. He entered Thursday second in the league in points per game, with 28.6. What was troubling about Anthony's performance Wednesday was that he still tried to carry the offense while injured.
When the season began, Anthony vowed that he would put more trust in his teammates. He said he did not want to win most games by scoring 30 or 35 points a night.
At the beginning of training camp, he said, "In order for this team to be successful with the guys that we have, we need a more well-rounded team."
Anthony did make changes early in the season, and they aided the Knicks' fast start. In November, Anthony averaged 19.3 shots in 15 games. The Knicks went 11-4 in that stretch, one of their best of the season.
In December, his average shots increased to 23. By January, the number climbed to 25.5. Through seven games in February, Anthony is averaging 21.4 shots per game. Before Thursday's game, Anthony led all players with 22.1 shots per game.
After Wednesday's game, Anthony said he could not pinpoint exactly why the Knicks had struggled recently, losing three of their last four games.
"This is very disappointing," he said, before adding about the All-Star break, "This is definitely a time where we need to refocus and regroup. We need to come back from the break with a new mind-set and leave this half of the season behind us."

It's a baby boy for Vivek Oberoi, Priyanka
Actor Vivek Oberoi and his wife Priyanka are blessed with a baby boy on Tuesday. The highly delighted father Vivek Oberoi declared the good news on twitter and he thanked everyone for their prayers and best wishes. The baby and the mother are said to be doing fine.
"Today is the most special day of my life! Priyanka and I welcomed our little angel into our world, a beautiful, healthy, divine baby boy!" he tweeted.
"I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for all the love, duas, blessings, prayers and aashirwaad you have sent us! Our son is truly blessed!" he said.
When Priyanka was pregnant, Vivek climbed the holy hills of Sabarimala to seek the blessings of God for a healthy child and safe delivery of Priyanka.
He tweeted about his visit to Sabarimala, "healthy kid". "Please bless us with a healthy kid".
Vivek Oberoi who is busy with his shooting schedule has taken a month-long paternity leave. "I want to be there (in Bengaluru) with Priyanka when our child arrives," says Vivek, who's all geared up to be a hands-on father. "I have read, I don't know how many books, been to all the doctor's appointments with Priyanka, have been busy doing up the nursery... I just can't wait to be a dad and hold our bundle of joy," adds the actor who had been shuttling to and from Bengaluru so far. "I am feeling on top of the world already," shares Vivek excitedly.
Vivek has five films in hand. The actor reveals that he will be working out of Bengaluru until the baby arrives. "I will return post-March and start dubbing for Krissh 3, followed by Grand Masti," says Vivek, who is currently busy with his upcoming film Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story in which he plays a small-time bhai. "He's a gangster with a heart of gold," he says.
Congratulation to Vivek and Priyanka!

Where to next? The Howgills
If your weekend passed in a blur of tedious weddings/DIY/car washing/relative visiting, it's time to start blocking out some time in your diary for number one.
Our prescription? Book in a trip to the alluring wilderness of the Howgills - land of tranquility and Jurassic adventures.
Flipping stupendous hills
The Howgills are flipping stupendous hills. But they are also the most confusing, obtuse and unpublicised knot of English upland you will ever stumble into, and they will do their utmost to bewilder you into going elsewhere.
It�s a conspiracy see � a conspiracy intricately designed to disguise the fact that there isn�t anywhere in England as cadaverously quiet as the Howgills.
Firstly even the hills don�t know where they are. Cruise into the town of Sedburgh and you�re told that you�re entering the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Only you�re not in Yorkshire; you�re in Cumbria. But you�re not in the Lake District. So once you get you�re head round that, the next thing you�ll be wanting is a map. Three 1:50,000 maps in fact to get an idea of the terrain or a dedicated cumbersome 1:25, 000 no.19 Explorer map will do the job.
More confusion: at first glance, some of the areas of the Howgills look to have been named by someone with either a very short imagination staircase or wish-there-was-here worship for the Lake District. There�s a Borrowdale. Bang in the middle there�s a Langdale. Nearby there�s a Grisedale, and even a Grisedale Pike, then there�s a couple that have been fiddled with ever so slightly � Bowerdale, Weasdale.
Then there�s the fact that once on the M6 you could easily drive on to the Graceland of Langdale than head into the unknown of the Howgills.
But you�d be missing out. There aren�t many places where you can walk from the north to the south of a range of hills and experience so many different landscapes.
Langdale is probably the least inspiring of angles from which to approach the Howgills but you won�t be despondent for long, as you�ll swiftly descended into something really quite incredible. You�ll find yourself standing at the head of three huge, steeply raked valleys.
There aren�t that many places in Britain you can stand at the junction of three valleys, fewer still ones as dramatic as these, and virtually none that are absolutely, completely and utterly devoid of fences, walls, paths or people. To the left is Howgills� Langdale, vanishing behind the dome of Simon�s seat (587m) whose western flank makes up the wall of the higher, steeper valley of Churn Gill, across which the summit of Hand Lake in turn descends to form Ulldale.
Picking up Ulldale, head towards Black Force Waterfall and you�ll encounter a steepness of the sort that dangerously and insidiously creeps up on you. This is a side effect of squashing several 2000ft mountains in a tiny area: you need twice the thrust on half the runway.
After a night of wild-camping at Black Force Waterfall, you�ll be met with a horizon-wide vision of the Lakes just the fresh tracks of a fox for company. Crest the top of Breaks Head onto the skywalk ridge and you�ll be greeted by The Calf, which at 676m is the Howgills� highest point.
Pass the waterfall of Cautley Spout which is a woozily sheer cascade beloved of ice-climbers in winter. While the ridge above it which offers perspectives over the Pennines, Yorkshire Three Peaks and back into the Howgills. This flattens into a summit known as Great Dummacks, with faint tracks down towards Sedburgh. Even this close to civilisation, the land is alluringly wild with folds of hillside disappearing into shadowy ghylls. This mountain airlock is one of the most endearing things about the Howgills: you�re in until you�re out.
Your Howgills Ticklist
Black Force
Impressively situated in a disc-saw ravine, Black Force waterfall and it�s namesake screes are an essential stop.
Cautley Spout
Black Force�s eastern counterpart, the falls of Cautley Spout lie beneath the dramatic Cautley Crag. This area is a good one stop if you�re stuck for time.
The Calf
The 676m high point of the fells. It�s on roughly the same latitude as Coniston Old Man.
Great Dummacks
The summit following the essential ridge walk of Cautley Crag. Tricky navigation in mist, but superb views when clear.
Simon�s Seat
Lonely and remote, this is the ultimate viewpoint over Langdale and the central, non-National Park Howgills.
Massive, steep-sided valley that ploughs into the centre of the fells. We dare say it�s more impressive than Lakeland�s.
Carlin Gill
Believe it or not there�s a Grade 1 scramble hidden away near Black Force. Go find it!
Deep ravine south of Sedbergh that�s well worth a visit. Interestingly, the 609m summit of Middleton Fell is called Calf Top.
Frostrow Fells
Area of interesting upland above Dentdale. Beautiful, gentle areas of contrast with the hulking Aye Gill Pike (556m)
