|Android 4.4.2 update with Sense 5.5
|After the update
The battery icon is all white now. When I'm charging it's grey with a lightning bolt. I'd have preferred the previous colorful look. Especially in the case of the battery level indicator, it's nice to have an idea if you're dangerously low on energy at a glance with or without the percentage beside it.
Oh well, it's just cosmetic. I'll live.
The update changelog says there's been memory management improvements and I think I'm seeing a little of it. The Gallery app seems to be better at remembering it's past state between sessions now. The SMS app also doesn't look like it's lagging during it's crossfade animation. But a device with 2GB RAM is hardly the best place to look for these signs. A device closer to the minimum limits would be a better place to find improvements in this department.
Generally, things are more or less the same after the Android 4.4 update. If you liked the way things were before, you'll still like them now. Maybe just a tad more as you notice visible small improvements here and there.
Performance improvements are always welcome, but it's not something you can feel subjectively given how well Android 4.3/4.2 performs already.

Baseball rarity: players who hit youth and adult heights
For young boys who play baseball, making it to the major leagues is often a dream. Imagine, therefore, how exciting it must be to play in both the Little League World Series and the big-league World Series. Only nine players have ever achieved this rare "double," a goal certainly of many of about 250 in the 62nd annual Little League World Series, which culminates Aug. 24 with a nationally televised championship game on ABC from Williamsport, Pa. The nine players who've participated in both the Little League and major-league World Series, the year(s) they made it to Williamsport, and the city each represented:
• Jim Barbieri, Schenectady, N.Y.* 1954
• Boog Powell, Lakeland, Fla. 1954
• Rick Wise, Portland, Ore. 1958
• Carney Lansford, Santa Clara, Calif. 1969
• Ed Vosberg, Tucson, Ariz. 1973
• Charlie Hayes, Hattiesburg, Miss. 1977
• Gary Sheffield, Tampa, Fla. 1980
• Derek Bell, Tampa, Fla. 1980-81
• Jason Varitek, Altamonte Springs, Fla. 1984

'Upon a day' or 'Once upon a time' has long been a traditional opening for myths, fables and folklore. For most of us the phrase would belong to our earliest memories of listening to stories. I loved story time and looking at my books. I was delighted when my mother acted out parts of the story as she read and used squeaky voices. But, those fairy tales they read to us when we were very young were often nicely revised versions of folk tales - originally almost horror stories designed to entertain with fright or teach lessons.
Fairy Tales, originally called Little Tales, usually involved fantasy with magical creatures, curses, goblins, witches spells and the like. They often began with 'once upon a time', referring to a supposed age when magic was still in use. One old German opening was 'In the old times when wishing was still effective'.
Folk tales and legends included actual events and were often stories for adults while moral tales, including beast fables (animal characters) were told to adults and children. Many stories appeared in a variety of languages, with changes to suit the local culture.
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm travelled Germany writing down the folk tales told to them by a variety of people. They published a book titled 'Children's and Household Tales', volume one in 1812 and volume 2 in 1815 with a total of 83 stories.
The Brothers Grimm continued to add to the collection and now we can read 200 stories under their name. Stories without proven German origins were rejected and the brothers rewrote many tales to make them more acceptable to families. We now refer to their collection as Grimm's Fairy Tales.
Many of those tales have been made over again by the Walt Disney machine and what once were stories of horror, mutilation, curses and despair are now mostly plastic sugar and spice.
|Hans Christian Anderson
The brothers Grimm inspired others to collect tales in their own language and writers such as Hans Christian Anderson continued writing tales that often drew on fables. First published in 1822, his stories have been translated into over 125 languages, including The Emperor's New Clothes, The Princess and the Pea, Thumbelina and one I remember very well, The Tinderbox, live on today.
Whether they are fables or folk tales we all love the stories and new tales are being written for future generations. One of my favourites, by Oscar Wilde was published in 1888 - 'The Selfish Giant' - a moral tale of self sacrifice.
And from the Grimm collection;
The Pied Piper: (pied being a sort of patchwork of different colours) In the original story the piper rids the town of rats and when the town leaders refuse to pay him he leads the children to, not a wonderful paradise, but the river where they all drown. That'll learn 'em.
Snow White: The evil queen wants Snow White killed because she is prettier than the queen. The hunter is told to take Snow into the forest and kill her, cutting out not just her heart, but her liver and lungs too which were to be served for dinner in the palace. Later when the Prince finds a dead Snow White in the forest, he hoists her body onto his horse and this jostling awakens her - not the Disney kiss. When exposed in the end as an evil woman, the queen is welded into red hot iron shoes and forced to dance herself to death. ewwwwww
Cinderella: The Cinderella story dates back to 1st century BC in different forms, with different names. In the version collected by the Grimm brothers the ugly sisters cut off parts of their feet to fit into the glass slipper. Does the Prince not notice the pools of blood? Eventually their eyes are plucked out by pigeons and they spend the rest of their lives as blind beggars, while Cinders enjoys a life of luxury in the castle.
Little Red Riding Hood or Little Red Cap: This story was so horrible even the brothers Grimm had to nice'n it up. In the original versions there was no woodsman to rescue Red and sometimes not even a grandmother. We tell this tale to babies when it's really about a young girl being seduced by a wolf and losing her virginity. An old saying from France, referring to a girl losing her virginity, translates as 'she saw the wolf'. In some versions, to illustrate that her life is over, the wolf eats her up.
Sleeping Beauty: A young woman falls into a deep sleep as the result of a prophecy. While unconscious she is raped by the King, gets pregnant, delivers twins and it is her children who finally wake her, not the modern day kiss of a handsome prince.
Hansel and Gretel: This is a scary story even today but in an early French version, called The Lost Children, the wicked witch was actually the devil. The devils wife attempts to help the children but they are forced to trick her and then they slit her throat to aid their escape.
The Frog Prince: In the Grimm collection there is no magical kiss. The frog makes a bargain with the Princess to take him home to the palace to live. He gets closer and closer to her until he is in her bed but she throws him against the wall. Somehow this turns him into a Prince ... and it's a little confusing.
Rapunzel: Letting down her hair too often gets Rapunzel in the family way so the witch cuts off her hair and sends her away. When the Prince comes back the witch lets down the hair for him. He is afraid of the witch, rejects her advances and she pushes him out the window. He falls into thorn bushes and brambles, which blind him, so he wanders the forest forever.
The Little Mermaid: One of many by Hans Christian Anderson this story originally ended with the mermaid's suicide, after watching her Prince marry a human Princess. Walt Disney added the happy ending we have today.
The Story of the Three Bears: First published in 1837, this story by English author and poet, Robert Southey, featured a malicious old woman who invades the home of three male bears. As early as 1813 Southey had been telling the story to friends in various versions including a fox or vixen as the female. It is possible that this version had been a traditional oral tale. By 1849 Southey had changed the old woman to an intrusive little girl, who was given various names referring to her hair colour until she became Goldilocks early in the 20th century, and the three male bears evolved into father, mother and baby bear. The oral tale ending with the intruder being torn to pieces by the bears became the soft cuddly family story that is the most popular tale in the English language today. It comes under the banner of fairy tales even though it is more of an animal fable. The underlying theme of harsh punishment for those who trespass in areas they should not has changed to one of accepting others who seem different and making life 'just right', with the bears being the good guys. Some cartoon versions today show Goldi remaining with the bears to live happily ever after.
Usually this happy ending refers to the main characters only and indicates a work of fiction. It also gives us the comfort so necessary today. While we read 'they lived happily ever after', many years ago it was 'and they all lived happily in the ever after'.

The disadvantage of using currency abroad is that carrying too much cash can dramatically increases your risk of becoming a victim of crime.
Hence, the advantages to using other financial instruments are considerable.
In most countries, credit cards, ATM cards, and check and debit cards are accepted although with varying levels of compatibility. The downside is the risk of fraud.
Be aware of the following:
Foreign Exchange transaction. Before arriving at your destination, print a copy of the currencies used, and learn what they look like by denomination.
Not knowing the currency and exchange rates can result in both legitimate and black market money-changers intentionally or accidentally cheating you;
Credit Card Switch. The credit card returned to you after you make a purchase is not yours. Instead, it is an expired or stolen card.
Always examine your card when merchants return your card to you and verify that it is yours;
Credit Card Fraud. If possible, observe that merchants process only one transaction.
Dishonest merchants, assuming you will never check your statement, can process two or more transactions.
I returned home from a trip to Colombia to find more than $3,000 in charges on my card for tires and auto parts.
Always check your statement. Before you sign for a transaction, ensure that your name of the merchant is printed on the transaction slip; and
Police Impersonating Money-Changers. In many countries where currency is tightly controlled, dishonest police will often impersonate a money-changer.
When a foreigner uses a black-market and unauthorized money-changer, the police officer identifies himself and demands several hundred dollars in exchange for not arresting him/her.
Convert currency at authorized vendors only.

By Bridget
Growing up, we've all been taught that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. The most difficult part of our culture is that traditional breakfast foods are all laden with gluten. Wheaties is just not going to cut it to be a part of a complete breakfast for gluten-free folks. Grabbing a Nutri-Grain bar on the go isn't an easy and nutritious option. For people living with Celiac Disease or a gluten intolerance, cereal, pancakes, toast, muffins, and bagels will actually set us out on the wrong foot, not start our day off right.
So what can we gluten-free eaters do to get going in the morning without feeling like we need to cook a feast or re-invent the wheel for every breakfast?
One of my favorite discoveries in the world of gluten-free has been the versatility of rice cakes. To people living a gluten-filled life, rice cakes seem like a sorry excuse for a snack or bread substitute. But those doubters haven't lent this wafer the creative license it deserves. The basic tenet eaters should grant to a rice cake is that it is the template substitute for toast or bagels. Missing PB&J's? Try layering this childhood staple on a rice cake for an open-faced crunchy-sweet alternative to your old favorite. Want to have pizza for breakfast? Spread on some tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese (just be careful of the microwave – anything over about 15 seconds could lend a risk of the rice cake popping). One of my favorites is to spread a layer of nut butter on a rice cake, and layer on a little bit of honey and some raisins for a quick and sweet bit to eat.
If rice cakes just aren't your thing, re-consider the traditional breakfast favorites. Love eggs and hash browns? Make your own and they're totally gluten-free! Just prepare your eggs as you like, sauté some sliced up potatoes, peppers, and onions, and you have a wonderfully filling and delicious breakfast. One of my greatest challenges when it comes to busy mornings is the breakfast on-the-go options, or seemingly lack thereof. Sometimes I'd rather sleep in for 15 extra minutes than stand over the stove to make a gluten-free, filling breakfast.
For breakfast to keep you going throughout the morning, you want to make sure that you're eating an even combination of protein and healthy fats, as well as some carbohydrates to fill out the meal. Try making your own trail mix that you can keep in your bag or car, knowing that it's completely celiac-friendly. Mix together almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and raisins for a delicious combo of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. Bring along a banana or apple, and you'll feel more satisfied with your morning munching options.
Breakfast can be just as fun and easy for people living a gluten-free life. Stocking your pantry and refrigerator with quick and easy ingredients will keep you feeling like you have so many options you'll end any lingering longing for that old "quick and easy" bowl of cereal.

John Orth
John Orth, American pianist, organist, and composer, was born in Annweiler, Bavaria on December 2, 1850. When he was only a year old, his parents settled in Taunton, MA. Orth studied organ with his father and then went to Germany where he took courses with Kullak and Deppe (piano). For two summers, Orth had lessons with Franz Liszt. Orth studied composition with Faiszt, Weitzmann, Kiel and P. Scharwenka. In 1875 Orth settled in Boston as a pianist and teacher. Orth taught piano at New England Conservatory from 1883-1885. He was also a staunch advocate for Liszt's music in America, presenting lecture-recitals called "With Liszt in Weimar." Ortjh was a member of the Puddingstone Club. In 1883, he married his pupil Lizette E. Blood, known as L. E. Orth(d. Boston, September 14, 1913), who was herself a composer of songs and piano pieces. Orth published a number of teaching pieces for piano. Orth died on May 3, 1932 in Boston.
-Baker's Biograpical Dictionary of Musicians. Fifth edition. Completely revised by Nicolas Slonimsky. New York: G. Schirmer, 1971.
Physical description
This collection consists of four file folders (and one folder of photocopies) containing only paper materials.
Access to the John Orth collection is granted by the NEC Archivist. Appointments must be scheduled in advance. There are not restrictions pertaining to this collection.
All copyrights to this collection belong to the New England Conservatory. Permission to publish materials from this collection is granted by the Director of Libraries. This collection should be cited as the John Orth Collection, New England Conservatory Archives, Boston, MA.
Scope & Content
The John Orth collection is organized into four series. Each series consists of one folder. The series are:
- Biographical Information
- Correspondence
- Newspaper articles
- Programs
The items in the Biographical file include: a pamphlet for a lectures series given by Orth about Liszt which includes biographical information about Orth as well as press comments about him; a flier advertising a concert; an article entitled "Who's Who in Brookline"(also included in the Newspaper series); and "An Appreciation" for John Orth written by William F. Macy. There is also a handwritten biographical information about Orth, at least a portion of which was copied from Baker's Dictionary of Musicians
The folder of correspondence contains five items of correspondence- two postcards and three letters written to John Orth during the years 1913-1931.
The small collection of Newspaper articles date from the 1920s and 1930s. They consist of articles about: John Orth; Franz Liszt; and the "Golden Age" of music in the town of Taunton, MA, as told in a lengthy article from the Taunton Daily Gazette. Photocopies of the newspaper articles have been made for preservation purposes. A few contain photographs of Orth.
The folder of Programs spans the years 1885 to 1949. This group of programs consists mainly of programs for lectures given by John Orth; piano performances given by John Orth's pupils; and piano performances of the pupils of John Orth's sisters: Sybilla Orth, Caroline Orth Young, and Louise Orth Bosworth. Also, there is one program for a lecture about Debussy given by Heinrich Gebhard and one booklet from the Chromatic Club (of which Caroline Orth Young and Louise Orth Bosworth) were members.

One consistent problem Detroit has suffered is its image. Its symbolized most dramatically through "ruin porn," or pictures of wrecked buildings and property. But that is why photography – particularly that created by Detroit residents – is so important in retelling the city's story.
Right now, Neighborhood Service Organization (NSO) is hosting a photography exhibit at the Swords into Plowshares Peace Center and Gallery in Detroit called Through Our Eyes. It features photographs taken by the formerly homeless residents of the NSO Bell Building as part of a three month PhotoVoice research project in partnership with Oakland University. It runs through Dec. 13.
One of the photographers is Uzi Farooq, who spent time in an out of shelters since the early 90s. Recently, as a NSO Bell Building resident, he served as captain of the Detroit Street Soccer team that competed in August for the Homeless World Cup. His passion is to someday earn a living as a professional photographer.
Lucretia Gaulden, who has lived in the NSO Bell Building for two years, is another resident participant in this photo project. She found the experience to be not only educational, but also transformative.
"Our instructor taught us there is no wrong way to take photographs," she said. "There is no bad photograph. You aim and shoot. With that confidence, three of my pieces are in the show."
Gaulden's favorite photo is of an abandoned, dilapidated building with a smiley face spray painted on the outside. "It is how many people feel," she said. "Smiling on the outside and falling apart on the inside. It reminds us never to judge and never to look down on anyone."
PhotoVoice is a research methodology using participatory photography to empower people to understand and express themselves. The participants, who are formerly homeless and now living in a one-bedroom apartment at the NSO Bell Building, explored factors that have influenced their health and wellness.
"We are so impressed with the quality of the residents' photos and what they represent," said Sheilah P. Clay, president and CEO of the Neighborhood Service Organization. "I hope the entire community will come view the exhibit to see how powerful these photographs are."
Since 1955, Neighborhood Service Organization has been reaching out to people across metropolitan Detroit by strengthening and empowering neighborhoods, supporting families and helping people in need. Over the years, the scope and variety of services offered have grown into a network of sophisticated, vertically integrated programs that have received local, statewide and national recognition.
Gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m. Thursdays and Saturdays or by special appointment. The Swords into Plowshares Peace Center & Gallery is located at 33 E. Adams St. in Detroit.

Landscaping with native plants is always a good idea. Not only are the plants already acclimated to your region, but growing natives helps guard against species loss as well. Although South Carolina lies in USDA hardiness zones 7a to 8b, the state is further broken down into five main regions--Low Country, Midlands, the Piedmont, Southcoast and Upstate, each with its own growing conditions. This diversity makes South Carolina home to a great variety of interesting plant life.
Virginia Sweetspire
A native of South Carolina, Virginia sweetspire (Itea virginicus) is a perennial flowering shrub. Reaching 4 feet in height and 4 feet wide, this shrub blooms in fragrant, small white flowers in late spring. Although attractive when in bloom, South Carolina gardeners value the plant's burgundy-colored fall foliage more. Virginia sweetspire can tolerate drought conditions and does not require pruning. Grow the Virginia sweetspire in full sun to obtain deeper-colored fall foliage.
Carolina Bristle Mallow
Although considered a weed by some gardeners in South Carolina, the Carolina bristle mallow (Modiola caroliniana) is related to the hibiscus and the hollyhock. It is a creeping perennial plant with red or peach-colored flowers that bloom in the spring. Carolina bristle mallow stems are covered in fine hair and the seedpods resemble a miniature spoked-wheel. Although native to South Carolina, it has been seen growing in a number of different countries, including Australia and New Zealand, according to experts with the South Carolina Native Plant Society.
Carolina Lily
The Carolina lily, native to South Carolina, can be found in a variety of environments, from swamplands to forests. Growing to a height of 4 feet, Carolina lilies bloom in mid to late summer, sometimes into fall. The flowers are striking with yellow, orange or red petals that bend backward and are spotted in shades of red, purple or brown. The Carolina lily grows in partly shady locations in sandy soil. It is both drought and heat-tolerant and easy to propagate by division of its bulbs.

DataViz Gallery, USA Census Bureau websites provides a number of interactive data access/visualization tool that shows census data in many categories.
They also provide Census Data APIs for developers to access data, send/recv query requests/responses, and JSON scripts as well.
Their web pages are well established and data sets are comparatively well presented on the public domain. For instance, the captured image above is from Coastline County Population, which enables end-users to control the slider at the bottom to show the changes in time (years) and the accumulated population in coastline counties in USA.
Most of the visualization here are, however, just 2D plain graphs that are just for 1 or 2D data arrays. It would be much better and effective if there are some fast & light-weighted 3D interactive visualization which provides more interactive controls for the end-users for in-depth data analysis and exploration. But still, data sets here are very well presented in my opinion, as a Data Visualization Expert, Senior Software Engineer, and an Assistant Professor in Computer Science.

So, far the only goal that has really been making lots of progress on is the increase my knitting skills. Maybe it's because the weather is colder or it just seems like a great way to unwind after a long day.
So far, I have become friends with circular needles, double-pointed needles, and am starting a hat with a lace pattern in it. The above photo is my first attempt at a baby bootie (it was made on double pointed needles), it is a little wonky, but overall it still looks pretty cute. As for the colors, I am trying to keep it pretty modern and bold. I am planning on making at least 3 sets of them in the couple months (all for little girls) and I am planning on keeping the colors in green, grey, pinks, mustard, and maybe a little charcoal variegated with a little gray.
I am moving a little bit slower with many of my other goals, but over the next couple months I am hoping to have a few of them crossed if not have a lot more progress on them.

My HP Pavilion has been running OpenMandriva 2014 exclusively, but I decided to upgrade it to OpenMandriva Lx 3 last week.
The move was sensible; I needed the machine to work in my office at the university and, as they are shaking IT everywhere, I wanted to have software that was more up to date.
However, the upgrade was complicated. The installation part was flawless and fast but, after finishing, when I attempted to upgrade the packages, I would lose display at a given point.
I remember that something like that happened to me when I tried to upgrade OpenMandriva Lx 3. on my ZaReason Strata the first time. Eventually, I solved the problem then. On the HP Pavilion, there was no such luck.
I tried installing from scratch multiple times, both with MCC and Discover, and even with urpmi on the CLI. It seems that the culprit is a package called gtk-lib.
Oh, well. I decided to leave it like that while I figure out if that was a bad repo sync or what. The machine works nice and, if I could survive last year using a 2-year-old system, I guess OpenMandriva Lx 3 will be fine.

BW:What was your childhood
Piaa: My childhood
was different, I was a typical
tomboy. I was nothing like a
girl. I always competed with
the boys. I used to ride a Bullet,
Suzuki, Yamaha and so on. I
could ride a cycle better than
the guys, climb on a tree, jump
into a swimming pool. I am the
youngest in my house so my parents
pampered me. In school, I got
special permission from the
principal to wear the uniform
that boys wore, trouser and
shirt while the other girls
wore skirts. I have a younger
brother, so if someone dared
to beat him, I would rush to
his defense. I fought a lot
on the streets, so much that
my dad said if someone comes
back to beat me, he will not
be there to save me and I would
have to handle myself.
How did you enter modeling?
I am from a very small town
in UP. When I was in my 12th
standard, I told my parents
that I wanted to go to Mumbai
and become an actress. Initially,
my parents were not for it but
I wanted to give it a try. I
convinced them and got myself
a job in Delhi. I took tuitions
for 6th standard children and
did some jobs to convince my
dad I could support myself.
Then I shifted to Mumbai and
started giving auditions for
ads and slowly I got big brands.
are the major brands you have
modeled for?
Liril, KFC Chicken, ICICI Bank,
Kitkat, Cadbury's Selection,
Westside, Pantaloon, Idea and
did you get into Poi Solla Porom?
was working on a commercial
with Priyadarshan Sir and he
told me he was doing a Tamil
film and wondered if I could
manage Tamil. I will never say
no to something like that and
I said I can. After 10 days,
I got a call for the audition.
Vijay, the director of PSP was
doing an audition in Mumbai
and he asked me to come without
makeup and in simple clothes.
I went in denim and a simple
top, but when I went there I
found that there were 100 girls
in mini skirts, deep neck tops
and full make up. I was the
only girl like this and was
a little taken aback. However,
Vijay asked me to just give
my audition. After two days,
I got a message that I was on
for the project. It was a dream
come true.
What was it like working
with director Vijay?
The first time I met him
in the audition, he gave
me a particular scene to
enact and that's it.
However, after two days
on the set, I got to know
him better. It was lovely
working with him. In fact,
I tell him to make PSP Part
II. Whenever there is an
opportunity, Vijay advises
me and I blindly follow
him. He is responsible for
my working in Aegan, Bale
Pandiya and Goa. He is promoting
me by giving my number to
other directors and that
is the best thing that has
happened to me.
Vijay advises me
I blindly follow him
Have you picked up Tamil now?
doing Poi Solla Porom, I was
so scared. I had told Priyan
Sir that I could manage Tamil
but when I saw the first sheet
of the script, I had second
thoughts. I told him I was so
nervous I could not do it. He
reassured me that I would do
well and asked me not to worry
as all newcomers go through
it. Every morning I would ask
the assistant directors if I
have any lines for the day.
They would reply, "Yes,
of course! You are the heroine".
I would even wish someone made
a film where I had no dialogues,
maybe a role as a dumb girl!
I have improved my Tamil a lot
now, I can understand but not
speak. However, I don't
tell that to anyone on the sets
and quietly listen to what they
are saying not realizing that
I can follow.
How was your experience working
with Ajith?
is a wonderful person. I respect
him from the heart; he is grounded
and knows how to handle a newcomer.
I never felt like a newcomer,
he would advise me when I got
depressed on the sets or nervous.
He would also tell me to give
my best and that everything
will be fine.
Ajith called me
the Shakira
there any specific interesting
advice he gave you?
called me the Shakira.
I was the baby on the
sets and got pampered
a lot. He said if I can
manage the way I am right
now, in my entire career
and life, it will help
me in every point. He
told me, "don't
change yourself, be yourself
and you will be successful".
How did you get the opportunity
to work in Goa?
the last day of my Aegan schedule,
I was talking to Ajith and he
introduced me to Venkat Prabhu.
I just wished him. PSP and Saroja
got released within weeks of
each other and I had seen his
interview on TV. I saw his fun-loving
team and wanted to work with
him at least once. I called
him once or twice but at that
point he was not doing a project.
Then, after 6 months, when I
was in Mumbai, director Vijay
called me and said Venkat will
call me and told me that he
was doing a film called Goa.
Then I got a call from Venkat,
he narrated the line and on
the phone itself I agreed. When
you know who the director is
and trust him, you don't need
to listen to the whole film
and within fifteen days I was
is your role in Goa like?
is my fourth film and
in every film of mine
I am playing something
close to my real life.
I am there in every film.
In Goa, I can relate to
the character. I am a
very romantic, happy and
uncomplicated person.
The way I laugh, cry and
listen to advice, it's
all there.
I am there in every
What pranks did you play on
the sets?
the other person can take it,
I can go to any level, otherwise
I keep quiet.
We were in Langkawi and I had
no shoot. I was roaming on the
beach here and there with my
friend Jerome. I saw an empty
can of beer and filled it with
some tasteless tea I had. I
pretended to drink and everyone
was surprised because I was
drinking in daytime and am a
non-drinker. They told me, wow,
you have changed a lot. I said
I have no shoot, I am getting
bored and so I am drinking.
I asked a friend on the set
if he wanted a sip. He said
ok and when he found it to be
tasteless tea, he was irritated.
The whole day I did not go near
You need guts to
survive the Goa team
anyone play a prank on
Langkawi, I was the only
girl on the set. You need
guts to survive the Goa
team because everyone
is very naughty. I took
some time to understand
what kind of people they
were. They teased me a
Do tell us about your co-stars?
Jai, Sampath and Jai Akash were
my co-stars. Premji and I fight
a lot; we had a fight and did
not talk to each other for a
month. However, in the New Year,
we have made up. Jai tries to
talk Hindi but is a pathetic
Hindi speaker, so when he starts
to speak in Hindi, I ask him
to shut up. Vaibhav is a good
cook; he collects leftover food
and makes a new dish. Arvind
Akash is a good choreographer,
actor and has a good physique.
Sampath is spontaneous and suddenly
says something new. Each of
them is unique.
is your role exactly?
have to watch the film
What did you learn from Venkat
I had always believed
that if you work you should
be sincere and concentrate.
I learnt how you can have
fun while working. While
on his sets, between action
and cut there is no fun
at all. Once he says cut,
everything changes. He
never shouts or gets angry
on the sets. Neither does
he get frustrated or irritated.
There were no tense moments;
he was always happy and
energetic. In every film
I had worked, I got lines
few hours before and I
was happy and was sure
this trend would continue.
But in Goa, I got lines
before 30 minutes. Suddenly,
I saw Venkat Prabhu cutting
the lines and then I heard
the words camera ready.
He gave me just ten minutes
and I was about to cry!
I was nervous but managed
it in one take, a wonderful
take. Now I have learnt
to manage Tamil in ten
I have learnt
to manage Tamil
in ten minutes
What's your take on glamour?
has a different definition of
glamour. To me, it means something
that I am comfortable with;
if I am comfortable with my
makeup, hair and everything,
that's glamour for me.
I never copy any fashion, it
depends on my mood. There is
a very fine line between glamour
and vulgarity and everyone should
understand it.
is your personal style?
love denim and T-shirts. I carry
short dresses very easily. Usually
I wear denim, t-shirt and shoes.
What are your hobbies?
Styling is my hobby especially
for my photo shoots. I never
hire anyone for them. I write
a lot of poems. Gymming is a
necessity for my career and
a hobby too. I love swimming,
power yoga, weight training
and of course shopping, every
girl loves it.
What was the last thing you
shopped for?
A Nokia E72, the latest.
Are you a gadget freak?
No not at all! For my car for
instance I would go for comfort
and not the latest launched.
What are your plans for the
Bale Pandiya and Goa. I do not
make plans for the future; I
don't know what I will
eat for dinner and how can I
plan. I have a goal but let
me finish step by step.
Who inspired you to be an actress?
I love Kajol and Madhuri Dixit.
When I was young, I used to
watch them dance and think let
me try acting once.
Did you train in dance or acting?
No. I suddenly came into this
line and have picked those up
along with other skills. Once
I had to swim and I told them
I don't know swimming.
I thought they would cheat but
they really threw me into the
lake. So I thought Piaa you
must learn swimming or one of
these days these people will
really kill you in a film! A
few months ago I started learning
What do you think about Yuvan
Shankar Raja's music?
I heard all the songs of Goa
and though I don't know
the language and lyrics and
yet I could understand everything
because of the music. I love
his music, the kind of person
he is, the kind of music he
makes is mind-blowing and awesome.
I am too small to talk about
him. He's wonderful in
his job and as a person. The
music is rocking.
Do tell us about Bale Pandiya
I am playing an NRI girl, bubbly,
chubby, good looking and cute.
We shot songs in Phuket, Thailand.
It was a good experience with
the team. Once we went 30 to
40 kms into the sea for a fight
sequence. I found it tough as
I was unable to stand in the
yacht because of the waves and
it was scary. My villain and
hero were fighting on it. However,
the way the fight turned out
was unbelievable. Vishnu, my
co-star was very helpful and
as he knows Hindi it was an
advantage for me, we could bitch
about others. My villain also
knows Hindi. We had fun in Thailand
and Chennai and the film will
be a good one.
Is this a romance?
Romantic comedy.
How was it working with Nayantara?
She is gorgeous and very beautiful,
glamorous, hot, sexy and a good
actress. Before Aegan I had
never worked with any star in
a film and was ready to handle
some attitude but she never
showed any. If there was anything
wrong with my make-up or costume,
she would ask me to take care
of it. When we had no shoot,
we gossiped. I was very happy.
is very
childish from
the heart
was your experience working
with Sneha?
Sneha is very childish
from the heart. To make
a career, sometimes we
lose our innocence. She
never made me feel she
was a star but I respect
her a lot. She never felt
anything like why should
she mingle with others
and a newcomer. I was
happy working with her.
How about your producer Soundarya
I met her first when I was shooting
in Malaysia. She is a beauty
with brains. She is not taking
help from her family or background
and that is tough. She is so
young and yet she has taken
a big project like Goa which
comes with so much of responsibility.
Have you met Rajinikanth
Not yet.

I have now done it both ways: in a car and in a bathroom. Stop your dirty mind and change it to dirty diaper.
At rest stops, I finally realized there are family bathrooms. I never paid any attention before having my own baby, but these are great. Yes, there are changing tables in the regular bathrooms, but a family bathroom is private, so you don't have to take two trips to be able to use the bathroom yourself. And, no sane mother leaves her baby on a changing table in a regular bathroom to step into a stall for many, many reasons.
On the way out, when it was slightly snowing, I just changed Sebastian in the car. But, this time, I popped into a family room. It was easy.
My diaper bag stayed on my shoulder and I worked out of it. I put down a blanket underneath my tiny stokke changing pad so Sebastian's head wouldn't touch a changing table that was probably used by way too many germy children. Plus, I just found out that 92 out of a 100 changing tables tested in the UK had trace amounts of cocaine. Pretty gross on all accounts. Between baby poop and coke, I need to keep him protected.
When I was done changing him, I was able to strap him in with a handy belt and use the bathroom, while in the same room. He giggled while he watched his potty trained mama.
Result: Happy, dry baby. We know that a happy baby makes a happy mama, which makes a happy papa.

I bought a Kenmore canister vacuum, model 116, in April 2007. This morning, the sound of the motor suddenly began to deepen, and I began to lose suction. Normally, if something is clogging the hose, the motor will wind up to a higher pitch, not a lower one. The filters are clean, the bag is empty, and I can't detect anything lodged in the hose. If this were a car's engine, I would say it's "lugging down". Any pointers?

Pompey chief executive Mark Catlin believes using Westleigh Park to host tonight's friendly with Coventry City makes financial sense.
The home of the Hawks will stage Paul Cook's fourth friendly of the season with the visit of the League One side (7.30pm).
Fair to say it is very much a joint venture and, from the club's point of view, we are expecting it to be financially viable to hold it at a club like Havant because running costs are lowerMark Catlin
With Fratton Park's pitch not yet ready to host fixtures, Pompey have agreed to instead use Westleigh Park's facilities.
The Blues and the Hawks will subsequently split gate receipts for a match which has a top price of £10.
And Catlin is adamant Coventry's visit will be financially beneficial for both.
He said: 'Paul (Cook) was looking for another game that would give him a strong test before the start of the season.
'We rang Havant and came to a financial agreement in about 30 seconds.
'It is beneficial financially to both parties.
'Fair to say it is very much a joint venture and, from the club's point of view, we are expecting it to be financially viable to hold it at a club like Havant because running costs are lower.
'Pre-season fixtures held at Fratton Park very rarely generate too much once match-day costs are involved and affect any sort of profit.
'The reason we are not holding any friendlies this summer is a direct result of hosting the Madness concert, which did generate a significant amount of profit.'
Pompey played their first match of the pre-season at the Hawks earlier in the month, the sides sharing a 1-1 draw.
That fixture attracted a crowd of 2,520, with a top price of £15.
Tickets for tonight's fixture are available at £10 for adult, £5 for seniors (aged 61 and above) and £5 for juniors (under-17s).

To make the Chantilly Cream:
Whisk the cream, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl until soft peaks form. The cream should hold its shape but still be satiny in appearance. It should never be grainy.
To serve:
Place a macaroon on each of 6 dessert plates. Cover each macaroon with some diced pineapple and some Chantilly Cream. Repeat layering with another macaroon, pineapple, and cream. Top with the remaining macaroon. Serve immediately.

Holly shrubs and trees prefer a location with full sun to partial shade and soil that drains well and contains slight acidity, according to the National Gardening Association. Holly trees are either evergreen or deciduous, and they grow from 6 to 40 feet tall and spread wide.
Holly bushes and trees require a distance of 5 to 25 feet between them, depending on the variety. Hollies do not thrive if they are transplanted, so it's important to choose one that is appropriate to the lot size and climate hardiness zone. The English holly, for example, does well in Zone 6, where temperatures do not fall below minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

text: Q. We have a yellow peach tree and a white peach tree. Both have had great fruit in the past. The yellow one was loaded this year. Usually, the fruit ripens around the first week in July. Toward the end of June, the fruit started rotting before it was ripe. The white peach tree has several peaches on it, but they don't seem to mature. The fruit is the size of a small walnut and hard. I have a friend who says her peaches also are not maturing. I have not been good about spraying the trees. I guess I need to start, but I'm not sure where to start. Thanks for any help you can suggest. A.Extreme high temperatures during much of July likely have caused fruit to mature more quickly. And the humid, rainy, warm weather has been just perfect for development of brown rot fungal disease on the fruit. Brown rot can quickly enlarge to completely cover the fruit in a couple of days. It's too late now to do much about it. Remove and discard infected fruit on the tree and fallen infected fruit. You can apply preventive fungicides to protect developing fruit, but apply them earlier, beginning pre-bloom, to prevent infection. More information on controlling pests in home fruit plantings can be found online at www.entm.purdue.edu/ Entomology/ext/targets/ID/ ID146pdf/ID-146.pdf. Not all peaches are created equal. Some varieties take longer to mature than others; however, in general, the white cultivars are not particularly late in maturing. But there are some peach cultivars that normally ripen in early to mid-June, while others ripen in late August to mid-September. Also, really heavy fruit loads result in much smaller fruit. It's hard to say without seeing a sample, but if the fruit is still only the size of walnuts, I would guess that it has failed to develop due to inadequate pollination, most likely related to weather during flowering time. Small consolation -- but at least the Japanese beetles, raccoons and other varmints won't get any either! Q. We went to the garden last night and found black bugs eating our tomato plants. We have never seen them before, and they are really tearing up our patch. Can you tell me what they are and what to use to get rid of them? A. I need more of a description to be able to identify the culprit for certain. If the bugs were eating the fruit rather than the plants, I suspect the four-spotted sap beetle. They are particularly attracted to ripe fruits that have cracked or are otherwise wounded. Keeping the plants harvested frequently can help prevent infestations of the beetle, as can a strong spray of plain water from the garden hose. But, if the little black bugs primarily are eating the foliage, I suspect they are flea beetles, which can walk or fly, but frequently jump when disturbed. Flea beetles usually are more problematic on potatoes and eggplant, but they also attack tomatoes and green peppers. Several insecticides including carbaryl, permethrin, esfenvalerate and cyfluthrin, are lableled for use against flea beetles on tomatoes. Check the label for the required number of days between application and harvest. Always read and follow all label directions and precautions before you apply. B.

I even have the proper garden for those who need to take pleasure in their backyard long after the sun has gone down. If enough light is an issue take into account a grow light, or for an ideal indoor backyard that is lighted, grow recent herbs indoors with an areogarden. It is not troublesome or complicated to be taught to backyard organically- just change a few of your strategies and lifestyle to turn out to be greener and also you may love studying to deal with your world. The one foot by one foot squares is the grid design that is used when house is limitted, however if you have room deal with your backyard like a part of the rest of your landscape.
Munstead Wood is where that she devised her theories about planting that function in her books. Mother Earth News have gotten an ideal weekend project that involves an previous bottle and a few plant material from the garden – you can flip them into a lovely reed diffuser and use natural important oils to gently scent your property. I love being in the garden and this just provides one other dimension to my gardening information. Very Nice ideas mixed here,thanks for sharing it with us,nice worth lense,I admire your efforts!! Someone who actually lives in the local weather I do) next year to broaden on my backyard.
I was truly on the lookout for landscaping concepts and yours are really useful and would look wonderful. With slightly creativeness you possibly can remodel any part of the backyard simply with some previous containers and a few plants. I suppose in addition to that, you might have that frugal gene that gets unexplainable glee at being as low-cost as doable on what might be the intense challenge of a trip to the plant retailer. It was so enjoyable to take a look at all the lovely backyard photos and browse your marvelously descriptive words.

Critical Linking: September 9th, 2013
What Your Favorite Book Looks Like in Colors: An artist reveals how each book has its own unique color spectrum
I'm not sure I get this, but cool nonetheless.
KidRead lets parents limit access to specific apps, and parents can also set a time limit for each app. That is nothing new, but that's not all this app can do. Parents can also use the KidRead app to set up a reward system.
If a kid spends time reading or using educational apps, they can earn time to play Angry Birds.
This is one of those ideas that seems great, but I seriously doubt anyone will use it for more than a few days.
I know you believe like I do that books and reading are crucial to fostering critical thinking and imagination, culture and community. So I would like to formally invite you to my bookstores, Vroman's and Book Soup. You're welcome anytime. And I'm sure my peers would be happy to extend invitations to their wonderful stores as well. #OprahIndieBkstoreTour!
Open letters to Oprah aren't exactly what I would consider a sustainable business model.
