The largest simulation of my PhD finished a couple of days ago on our local cluster. It was a simulation of a total of 360 million binaries, combining datasets using around 300 different sets of physical assumptions. The whole lot took around 12 days running simultaneously on around 120 cores. That's around 35000 CPU hours, or just shy of 4 CPU years of processing! I will be using the simulations to try and pin down exactly how much we can hope to learn about our models of binary physics using gravitational wave observations. The paper is coming along nicely, and I'll write a summary here when it's done.
Alas, when I had run my postprocessing code to collect my results from the different bits of the cluster I sent it to, I found that I only had 359999189 binaries in my dataset (811 had gone missing!). This isn't a problem I can just ignore, since I make use of the fact that I simulate the same number of binaries, using the same initial conditions, for each setting of the physics. I need to work out what's missing. This turns out to be quite a challenge when you have a 40GB data file with binaries to look through!
The main challenge is memory management. I can't load the whole file into memory (I even use a little bit of swap memory when loading in a single column). Luckily, I kept track of an ID type variable when constructing my dataset, so for one of the columns, I know that there should only be unique values, repeated for each variation of the physics.
So, in summary, I have a column which should have 300 copies of the same IDs. The problem is therefore to go through my dataset, and find out which ones have been skipped over for some of my datasets (in a way that doesn't kill the RAM on my machine).
The solution I came up with is partially based on the Sieve of Eratosthenes, which is a very simple and efficient way of finding all the prime numbers up to a given limit. You can see details of the algorithm here, however, when I first saw an implementation of it, it blew my mind. The trick is to make a boolean array, and then mark the elements whose indices are prime numbers. This is easier to see in code, here's my implementation from a few years ago in C++;
vector<bool> primeSieveUpTo(int max) { vector<bool> sieve(max+1,true); sieve[0] = false; sieve[1] = false; for (int i=2; i<=max; i++) { if (sieve[i]) { for (int j=2*i; j<=max; j+=i) sieve[j] = false; } } return sieve; }
I realised I could use a similar trick (using the indices of an array to keep track of things) in my code. Here's my whole Python script, which efficiently goes through my 360000000 line file, and counts instances of each unique seed.
import numpy as np # these are the 1.2e6 unique values I know will be in the 2nd column of # my data uniqueSeeds = np.loadtxt('uniqueSeeds.dat',dtype=np.int64) seedUsageCounts = np.zeros_like(uniqueSeeds) # my data file f = open('allInitial.dat') # skip the headers f.readline() f.readline() for l in f: seed = int(l[:-1].split(',')[1]) # add 1 to the index corresponding to the observed seed seedUsageCounts[uniqueSeeds == seed] += 1 f.close() np.savetxt('seedUsageCounts.dat', seedUsageCounts,fmt='%i')
I'm sure I could improve performance a little by doing things in batches, but it's memory I was trying to manage, not time. I can leave it running overnight!

going to evening prayers, where, with half shut eyes
and shining countenances, they made a most orthodox and edifying
portion of a Lenten congregation; others to their own homes, to tell
over the occurrences of the fight and feast, for the information
of the family circle; and some, doubtless, to the licensed freedoms
of some tavern, the door of which Lent did not keep so close shut
as the forms of the church required. Henry returned to the wynd,
warm with the good wine and the applause of his fellow citizens,
and fell asleep to dream of perfect happiness and Catharine Glover.
We have said that, when the combat was decided, the spectators
were divided into two bodies. Of these, when the more respectable
portion attended the victor in joyous procession, much the greater
number, or what might be termed the rabble, waited upon the subdued
and sentenced Bonthron, who was travelling in a different direction,
and for a very opposite purpose. Whatever may be thought of the
comparative attractions of the house of mourning and of feasting
under other circumstances, there can be little doubt which will
draw most visitors, when the question is, whether we would witness
miseries which we are not to share, or festivities of which we are
not to partake. Accordingly, the tumbril in which the criminal was
conveyed to execution was attended by far the greater proportion
of the inhabitants of Perth.
A friar was seated in the same car with the murderer, to whom he
did not hesitate to repeat, under the seal of confession, the same
false asseveration which he had made upon the place of combat, which
charged the Duke of Rothsay with being director of the ambuscade by
which the unfortunate bonnet maker had suffered. The same falsehood
he disseminated among the crowd, averring, with unblushing effrontery,
to those who were nighest to the car, that he owed his death to
his having been willing to execute the Duke of Rothsay's pleasure.
For a time he repeated these words, sullenly and doggedly, in the
manner of one reciting a task, or a liar who endeavours by reiteration
to obtain a credit for his words which he is internally sensible
they do not deserve. But when he lifted up his eyes, and beheld
in the distance the black outline of a gallows, at least forty
feet high, with its ladder and its fatal cord, rising against the
horizon, he became suddenly silent, and the friar could observe
that he trembled very much.
"Be comforted, my son," said the good priest, "you have confessed
the truth, and received absolution. Your penitence will be accepted
according to your sincerity; and though you have been a man of bloody
hands and cruel heart, yet, by the church's prayers, you shall be
in due time assoilzied from the penal fires of purgatory."
These assurances were calculated rather to augment than to diminish
the terrors of the culprit, who was agitated by doubts whether the
mode suggested for his preservation from death would to a certainty
be effectual, and some suspicion whether there was really any
purpose of employing them in his favour, for he knew his master
well enough to be aware of the indifference with which he would
sacrifice one who might on some future occasion be a dangerous
evidence against him.
His doom, however, was sealed, and there was no escaping from it.
They slowly approached the fatal tree, which was erected on a bank
by the river's side, about half a mile from the walls of the city
--a site chosen that the body of the wretch, which was to remain
food for the carrion crows, might be seen from a distance in every
direction. Here the priest delivered Bonthron to the executioner,
by whom he was assisted up the ladder, and to all appearance despatched
according to the usual forms of the law. He seemed to struggle for
life for a minute, but soon after hung still and inanimate. The
executioner, after remaining upon duty for more than half an hour,
as if to permit the last spark of life to be extinguished, announced
to the admirers of such spectacles that the irons for the permanent
suspension of the carcass not having been got ready, the concluding
ceremony of disembowelling the dead body and attaching it finally
to the gibbet would be deferred till the next morning at sunrise.
Notwithstanding the early hour which he had named, Master Smotherwell
had a reasonable attendance of rabble at the place of execution,
to see the final proceedings of justice with its victim. But great
was the astonishment and resentment of these amateurs to find that
the dead body had been removed from the gibbet. They were not,
however, long at a loss to guess the cause of its disappearance.
Bonthron had been the follower of a baron whose estates lay in Fife,
and was himself a native of that province. What was more natural
than that some of the Fife men, whose boats were frequently plying
on the river, should have clandestinely removed the body of their
countryman from the place of public shame? The crowd vented their
rage against Smotherwell for not completing his job on the preceding
evening; and had not he and his assistant betaken themselves to
a boat, and escaped across the Tay, they would have run some risk
of being pelted to death. The event, however, was too much in the
spirit of the times to be much wondered at. Its real cause we shall
explain in the following chapter.
Let gallows gape for dogs, let men go free.
Henry V.
The incidents of a narrative of this kind must be adapted to each
other, as the wards of a key must tally accurately with those of
the lock to which it belongs. The reader, however gentle, will not
hold himself obliged to rest satisfied with the mere fact that such
and such occurrences took place, which is, generally speaking, all
that in ordinary life he can know of what is passing around him;
but he is desirous, while reading for amusement, of knowing the
interior movements occasioning the course of events. This is a
legitimate and reasonable curiosity; for every man hath a right to
open and examine the mechanism of his own watch, put together for
his proper use, although he is not permitted to pry into the interior
of the timepiece which, for general information, is displayed on
the town steeple.
It would be, therefore, uncourteous to leave my readers under any
doubt concerning the agency which removed the assassin Bonthron from
the gallows--an event which some of the Perth citizens ascribed
to the foul fiend himself, while others were content to lay it
upon the natural dislike of Bonthron's countrymen of Fife to see
him hanging on the river side, as a spectacle dishonourable to
their province.
About midnight succeeding the day when the execution had taken place,
and while the inhabitants of Perth were deeply buried in slumber,
three men muffled in their cloaks, and bearing a dark lantern,
descended the alleys of a garden which led from the house occupied
by Sir John Ramorny to the banks of the Tay, where a small boat
lay moored to a landing place, or little projecting pier. The wind
howled in a low and melancholy manner through the leafless shrubs
and bushes; and a pale moon "waded," as it is termed in Scotland,
amongst drifting clouds, which seemed to threaten rain. The three
individuals entered the boat with great precaution to escape
observation. One of them was a tall, powerful man; another short
and bent downwards; the third middle sized, and apparently younger
than his companions, well made, and active. Thus much the imperfect
light could discover. They seated themselves in the boat and unmoored
it from the pier.
"We must let her drift with the current till we pass the bridge,
where the burghers still keep guard; and you know the proverb, 'A
Perth arrow hath a perfect flight,'" said the most youthful of the
party, who assumed the office of helmsman, and pushed the boat off
from the pier; whilst the others took the oars, which were muffled,
and rowed with all precaution till they attained the middle of the
river; they then ceased their efforts, lay upon their oars, and
trusted to the steersman for keeping her in mid channel.
In this manner they passed unnoticed or disregarded beneath the
stately Gothic arches of the old bridge, erected by the magnificent
patronage of Robert Bruce in 1329, and carried away by an inundation
in 1621. Although they heard the voices of a civic watch, which,
since these disturbances commenced, had been nightly maintained in
that important pass, no challenge was given; and when they were so
far down the stream as to be out of hearing of these guardians of
the night, they began to row, but still with precaution, and to
converse, though in a low tone.
"You have found a new trade, comrade, since I left you," said one
of the rowers to the other. "I left you engaged in tending a sick
knight, and I find you employed in purloining a dead body from the
"A living body, so please your squirehood, Master Buncle, or else
my craft hath failed of its purpose."
"So I am told, Master Pottercarrier; but, saving your clerkship,
unless you tell me your trick, I will take leave to doubt of its
"A simple toy, Master Buncle, not likely to please a genius so acute
as that of your valiancie. Marry, thus it is. This suspension of
the human body, which the vulgar call hanging, operates death by
apoplexia--that is, the blood being unable to return to the heart
by the compression of the veins, it rushes to the brain, and the
man dies. Also, and as an additional cause of dissolution, the
lungs no longer receive the needful supply of the vital air, owing
to the ligature of the cord around the thorax; and hence the patient
"I understand that well enough. But how is such a revulsion of
blood to the brain to be prevented, sir mediciner?" said the third
person, who was no other than Ramorny's page, Eviot.
"Marry, then," replied Dwining, "hang me the patient up in such
fashion that the carotid arteries shall not be compressed, and the
blood will not determine to the brain, and apoplexia will not take
place; and again, if there be no ligature around the thorax, the
lungs will be supplied with air, whether the man be hanging in the
middle heaven or standing on the firm earth."
"All this I conceive," said Eviot; "but how these precautions can
be reconciled with the execution of the sentence of hanging is what
my dull brain cannot comprehend."
"Ah! good youth, thy valiancie hath spoiled a fair wit. Hadst thou
studied with me, thou shouldst have learned things more difficult
than this. But here is my trick. I get me certain bandages, made
of the same substance with your young valiancie's horse girths,
having especial care that they are of a kind which will not shrink
on being strained, since that would spoil my experiment. One loop
of this substance is drawn under each foot, and returns up either
side of the leg to a cincture, with which it is united; these
cinctures are connected by divers straps down the breast and back,
in order to divide the weight. And there are sundry other conveniences
for easing the patient, but the chief is this: the straps, or
ligatures, are attached to a broad steel collar, curving outwards,
and having a hook or two, for the better security of the halter,
which the friendly executioner passes around that part of the
machine, instead of applying it to the bare throat of the patient.
Thus, when thrown off from the ladder, the sufferer will find himself
suspended, not by his neck, if it please you, but by the steel
circle, which supports the loops in which his feet are placed, and
on which his weight really rests, diminished a little by similar
supports under each arm. Thus, neither vein nor windpipe being
compressed, the man will breathe as free, and his blood, saving
from fright and novelty of situation, will flow as temperately as
your valiancie's when you stand up in your stirrups to view a field
of battle."
"By my faith, a quaint and rare device!" quoth Buncle.
"Is it not?" pursued the leech, "and well worth being known to such
mounting spirits as your valiancies, since there is no knowing to
what height Sir John Ramorny's pupils may arrive; and if these be
such that it is necessary to descend from them by a rope, you may
find my mode of management more convenient than the common practice.
Marry, but you must be provided with a high collared doublet, to
conceal the ring of steel, and, above all, such a bonus socius as
Smother well to adjust the noose."
"Base poison vender," said Eviot, "men of our calling die on the
field of battle."
"I will save the lesson, however," replied Buncle, "in case of some
pinching occasion. But what a night the bloody hangdog Bonthron
must have had of it, dancing a pavise in mid air to the music of
his own shackles, as the night wind swings him that way and this!"
"It were an alms deed to leave him there," said Eviot; "for his
descent from the gibbet will but encourage him to new murders. He
knows but two elements--drunkenness and bloodshed."
"Perhaps Sir John Ramorny might have been of your opinion," said
Dwining; "but it would first have been necessary to cut out the
rogue's tongue, lest he had told strange tales from his airy height.
And there are other reasons that it concerns not your valiancies
to know. In truth, I myself have been generous in serving him, for
the fellow is built as strong as Edinburgh Castle, and his anatomy
would have matched any that is in the chirurgical hall of Padua.
But tell me, Master Buncle, what news bring you from the doughty
"They may tell that know," said Buncle. "I am the dull ass that
bears the message, and kens nought of its purport. The safer for
myself, perhaps. I carried letters from the Duke of Albany and from
Sir John Ramorny to the Douglas, and he looked black as a northern
tempest when he opened them. I brought them answers from the Earl,
at which they smiled like the sun when the harvest storm is closing
over him. Go to your ephemerides, leech, and conjure the meaning
out of that."
"Methinks I can do so without much cost of wit," said the chirurgeon;
"but yonder I see in the pale moonlight our dead alive. Should
he have screamed out to any chance passenger, it were a curious
interruption to a night journey to be hailed from the top of such
a gallows as that. Hark, methinks I do hear his groans amid the
whistling of the wind and the creaking of the chains. So--fair
and softly; make fast the boat with the grappling, and get out the
casket with my matters, we would be better for a little fire, but
the light might bring observation on us. Come on, my men of valour,
march warily, for we are bound for the gallows foot. Follow with
the lantern; I trust the ladder has been left.

For many, a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime fairytale. Music is the magic ingredient that makes the fairytale come alive.
Singers Inc's resident wedding singer, Rob Rodell, has sung at numerous weddings over a period of more than 15 years.
Singing mostly songs in the Josh Groban-Andrea Bocelli style, popular song choices in the past have included:
- Time to Say Goodbye (the words actually refer to leaving an old life to start a new one - which is usually what happens in a marriage!)
- The Prayer
- Come What May (Moulin Rouge)
- I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You (Zorro)
- You're Still You
- You Raise Me Up
- And many more....
The most popular times to sing a song at your wedding are:
- As the bride walks down the aisle
- Just before or after the vows (personal vows or recited vows)
- During the signing of the register
Having a professional sing at your wedding during your vows or the signing of the register gives you a moment to stop and enjoy the moment - and it makes a great filler during the register signing. It is also a wonderful moment to capture on video or camera, to savour and enjoy later as you reflect on your special day.
Alternatively, why not consider:
- A NEW song, written just for the two of you?
- YOU come for lessons and sing to one/each other?
Rob has also sung at:
- Funerals
- Serenaded couples as they propose or renew their vows
- Charity events
- Corporate functions
- Please contact Rob for a specialised and tailor-made singing experience
- R1000 for 3 songs (including existing backtrack, excluding sound), plus transport to the venue at R3.30 per kilometre (calculated from Johannesburg South)
- R500 per backtrack for songs where a backtrack has to be made
- Special arrangements can be made for other parts of Gauteng/South Africa, including transport/accommodation costs
- Sound equipment to be provided by the venue (or can be provided at a cost of R1800 extra)

I thought I was going to Australia, but that turned out a little different. Indeed, Schippers trip veered off course when, stopped over in Toronto en route to his final destination, he noticed the size of the aircraft designated to ferry him across the Pacific. The plane was really small and so I figured, would that make it to Australia? he recalled. Despite his reservations, the 18-year-old carried on, buckling in for the long haul halfway around the world. Less than three hours later, Schipper touched down in Sydney. Nova Scotia, Canada, that is. I felt terrible, said Schipper ofhis mistake. I think I [swore] in my head for like 10 minutes.

After engaging more of the public and gaining more information on the Transportation Development Plan I have a couple of notes and additions to my position.
The first- I am somewhat relieved that the TDP is not set in stone, and quite relieved to see that most of council has their heads in the right places as far as continuing existing routes and looking to expand. I had overlooked originally that the TDP calls for some cutting of routes in favor of more "efficient" bi-directional service. Fortunately, this was noted in a couple of places, and council hopefully will not allow crucial services to be reduced. Making sure we have a route out to the new Martha Jefferson Hospital location is an immediate need, but should not be met by limiting or reducing routes.
Second- We need to be exploring direct service shuttles to make traveling from downtown to 29N and/or Barracks Road more convenient and speedy. These might connect to hubs at Barracks Road and Downtown.
Third- Full service on Sundays was not adequately emphasized in my original posting, this is an immediate need and I hope this is something council will be prepared to make happen in a less than a year.
Fourth- Neighborhood "hubs" and park and ride needs to be included in our planning. Especially if we need to ease into things like late night service. This might be a way to expand night service in general without too much hassle.
Fifth- As the region and Charlottesville is lobbying for transportation funds we need to prioritize public transit over road building, and fight to make it happen.
Sixth- Regional and City Planning is NOT a UN PLOT as claimed by some in County leadership, using political posturing as a means to defeat comprehensive and sustainable planning is unacceptable.
Seventh- An incentive- a break on vehicle fees in the city for individuals who purchase an annual bus pass?

The skin care products you used when you were younger may not necessarily be the right ones for your complexion now. In fact, mature skin has its own specific set of needs. One product that you should consider adding to your skin care routine if you have mature skin? That would be serum! Here, find the right serum for your mature skin as well as tips for pampering your beautiful complexion.
Looking to add a serum to your daily beauty regimen? You've come to the right place! Try one of these picks from L'Oréal Paris if you have mature skin.
L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Golden Serum: As you age, skin can start to look less radiant. This serum is formulated with golden micro-reflectors to help illuminate the appearance of skin. Skin instantly looks refreshed after using this non-greasy, lightweight serum.
How to use it: Apply the serum to cleansed skin morning and night after cleansing.
L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Hydra-Nutrition Advanced Skin Repair Daily Serum: This serum helps to hydrate dry, mature skin. Immediately, skin feels hydrated and looks more radiant.
How to use it: Apply it on freshly cleansed skin before moisturizing, morning and night. You can also use it as a lightweight replacement to moisturizer. Place 2-3 drops into your hand and gently smooth it over your entire face and neck until thoroughly absorbed.
So now you have the lowdown on how to use a serum if you have mature skin—but that's not the only way to pamper your complexion. Follow these other tips for caring for mature skin as well.
1. Use a cream cleanser. The L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Nourishing Cream Cleanser is formulated with replenishing oils to gently yet effectively remove traces of makeup. Every morning and evening, lather the cleanser into wet hands, gently massaging onto skin. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
2. Add a facial oil to your beauty routine. Treat yourself to a spa-like experience by using a facial oil! The L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Facial Oil Light is formulated with a unique blend of eight essential oils to help promote hydrated skin. Every morning and evening, apply 4-5 drops onto the palm of your hand. With a finger, dab the facial oil in small dots onto cleansed skin. Smooth the product onto your face slowly and deeply, using the whole surface of your hands. Smooth it from your nose to ears, eyebrows to hairline, and neck to jawline.
3. Apply a night cream before hitting the sheets. The L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Hydra-Nutrition Facial Day/Night Cream is a decadent cream that moisturizes mature skin. It's formulated with calcium and precious oils. Skin feels less dry immediately. Morning and night, apply onto cleansed skin.
4. Pay attention to your neck and chest. It's great to show your complexion attention—but don't forget about your neck and chest! The L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect Hydra-Nutrition Golden Balm Face, Neck, and Chest is a rich, luxurious balm that intensely moisturizes mature skin. Immediately, skin is hydrated, while skin looks nourished with moisture with continued use over time. Every morning and evening, apply the balm onto cleansed skin. Rub the formula between your fingers, smooth it gently onto your face in an upward and outward motion, then smooth it from your neck to jawline and upper chest until absorbed.
If you have mature skin, you're now a pro at picking at a serum that suits your skin's needs as well as cleansing and moisturizing your complexion. But you can upgrade your skin care routine even more if you'd like, Read our article, Your Guide to Taking Care of Mature Skin, for more skin care tips tailored to your skin type.

The BNZ Championship is a New Zealand professional league for football clubs. At the top of the New Zealand football league system, it is the country's primary football competition. Although the amount of clubs has not been confirmed it has been announced that the league will operate on a system of promotion and relegation with a lower leagued championship. Seasons dates have not been confirmed but teams play each team a total of two times in the season. It is sponserd by Bank of New Zealand and therefore officially known as the BNZ Championship. In the BNZ Championship, most of the games are played during Saturdays and Sundays, with a few games played during the weekdays. Not teams are yet to win the Championship.
History Edit
The NZFF (New Zealand Football Federation) announced that New Zealand will be creating a new formatted league. NZFF Chairman Sam Cooper had this to say. "New Zealand as a nation has been putting us on the football world map lately with great performances from our International team (All Whites) and our U17 international team. Wee have also preformed well in the Hyundai A-League with the Wellington Phoenix. We at the NZFF believe that we need to continue our nation's recent football success and expand on it. We are looking to create a completely new football league for New Zealand as we are disappointed at how the current NZFC is bringing in small crowds and little revenue. At this current point in time, we will not be releasing rules or the formatting of the league but we want to inform all New Zealanders that in late 2009, New Zealand football will be improved greatly ." The new league will be similar to the Australian Hyundai A-League with the league then play offs afterwards. Many top New Zealand players have also commented on the news of this new league with New Zealand captain Ryan Nelsen fully behind it stating "this has the potential to do wonders for New Zealand football"
The league was going to be called the BNZ Championship (Bank of New Zealand Championship) because of main sponsers being BNZ. It was then announced that there would be a total of 22 teams in the championship, and each team to play each other 2 times each. 16 North Island clubs and 4 South Island clubs.

Ford has poured cold water on any suggestion it's developing a faster Focus 'RS500'.
Ford Australia's Product Communications Manager Damion Smy told MOTOR: "There are no plans for a more powerful Focus RS." However, MOTOR has learned that just such a car was extremely close to release.
The hugely positive reaction from both the media and buying public is believed to have led Ford to investigate the possibility of a more focused (pardon the pun) model to fight Europe's premium hot hatches.
While unlikely to have worn RS500 nomenclature, the super Focus RS would have given the likes of the A45 AMG and Audi RS3 a hurry-up with between 270-280kW (an overboost function was rumoured) and a local price tag of approximately $60,000.
It was expected to have worn a bespoke colour with production starting this month (July 2017) and power figures and price tags suggest the program was at a relatively complete stage, however the reasons for its cancellation are unclear.
Ford produced a limited-edition RS500 late in the lifecycle of the second-generation Focus RS. It lifted outputs from the 2.5-litre turbo five from 224kW/440Nm to 257kW/460Nm and all 500 cars were individually numbered and wore matte black paintwork.
Production of the Focus RS has only about 12 months to run and Ford has released the Option Pack, which includes cosmetic upgrades and a Quaife limited-slip differential for the front axle, to keep interest high, though Smy says Ford Australia is having no trouble selling every car it can get.
The Focus RS Option Pack is not yet confirmed for local release with Smy only saying it is currently under consideration.

Building and Floating an Ark
Recently we have been reading the story of Noah and whenever I read about how God asked Noah to build an ark, my three-year old pipes up and asks if he too can build an ark. I was trying to think of how he (or anyone!) could do this in a way that wouldn't be too time-consuming and that would be successful (ie, the ark would float and not sink). I decided the building element to the activity would involve sticking two plastic containers together - one to house the animals and one to house Noah.
To start the activity I gave the boys some foam rectangles (flags) and pens so they could identify their arks floating on the water.
Then I gave the boys the first container and a basket of animal figurines for them to choose and place in their "arks". At first they took a handful of animals, but once they had placed the animals in their containers we tried to identify them. This was an important part of the activity to help the boys appreciate the variety and beauty of the animals that were preserved that day.
When the arks were full, the boys chose their human figurines. Unfortunately the second container was only large enough to hold one figurine so Wugs chose Noah's wife to go in his ark and Dooey chose Noah. We then sealed our arks with sellotape. (Whilst pulling out the clear tape, two pairs of eyes spotted the shiny coloured tape I was saving for Christmas so they asked to decorate their arks with it which is why the arks ended up looking like two Christmas presents floating on the water!)
Once everything was sealed down I made two cuts in the flags and wedged a craft stick through them, joining the bottom of the craft sticks to bottom plastic container through an incision I made in the container lid.
We were finally ready to float our arks!
As it was a warm day, I set up the activity in the garden, filling up a large plastic tub with water and then emptying some stones into it. The boys took their arks outside and began to float them and blew them to get them moving in different directions. We had a funnel with small holes in it, so I encouraged the boys to lift it up to create "rain" and to see if their arks could weather the storm.
What we used:
Foam (optional)
Craft sticks (optional)
Pens (optional)
A shallow container with a lid
A deeper container upturned
Shiny coloured tape (optional)
Animal and human figurines
Large tub
Blue food colouring (optional - but effective in making the arks look like they were in the sea)

So, as I told you in my last post, I have been working on this for quite some time now. More like almost a year, but who counts? Now, all the buttonholes are sewn and every single one of the threads are fastened and it is finally DONE. Can you imagine? I almost can't. But I tell you this- it it really cozy, winter can come any time it wants.
It's made of recycled yarn from an old cardigan that was too small for me, but was made of yarn(wool/alpaca) I really liked and not really could let go of. I have altered the pattern a bit, it was supposed to be more of a bolero and have tie bands in the front and no buttons at all but I felt I wanted it this way. Retrospectively I'm happy I went with it.
|And a selfie. If the pope can- so can I.

I finished this book days ago. I've been without a book to read for days. What is the matter with me? I have so many books that I have left to read on my shelf, not to mention the dozens I've seen during my many trips to Dymocks over the last few weeks. But I can't get to any of them until I write this book up!
Though, I am going to say that I am proud of the fact that The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly isn't slated to be released until July and I finished the ARC two months early!
When I first read the blurb, I thought this was going to be a fantasy novel about some messed up shaman in a magical land who abuses his power and orders some of his followers to lose their hands for some messed up ceremony. Admittedly, I wasn't too far off. This book is about Minnow Bly, a seventeen-year-old girl who grew up in a cult.
We first meet Minnow after she has beaten someone to within an inch of their lives. And we follow her journey from that snowy, blood-soaked night to juvy. The first nine chapters are all set in the present tense, and then when skip back and forth between Minnow's time in the cult, or The Community, and her time in juvy.
The change in the timeline was abrupt for me. Not in a bad way, it just kind of came about without warning. Like we were living Minnow's recollections with her. It was a bold move.
Another bold move on Oakes' part was that the flashbacks weren't linear. We don't get Minnow's past from her birth to the present moment. We get bits and pieces of her past; whichever bits are relevant to Minnow's situation in juvy, at any given moment. This could have alienated the audience, but it gave Minnow's memories a believability that wouldn't have happened if we got memories in a strictly linear progression. Memory is so much more random than that. So not only did Oakes give us a realistic representation of memory, but she also managed to create tension by giving us tidbits of why Minnow beat up the guy, who killed the Prophet, and other snippets of info that all came together beautifully.
The premise of this story is tantalising in its complete and utter uniqueness. Not only is Minnow part of a cult (not by choice, her parents joined when she was five), but she is in juvenile detention. She has a criminal record. Minnow is a kind of anti-hero. She has been convicted of a crime and her story is being explored. She isn't pushed aside as a "villain" or demonised in anyway. And, for that matter, neither are the other inmates. We see them as complex people with many different facets to their personalities. Not one person is defined by their crime. This is so brave for YA. In a genre where moralising runs rampant, this book was like a breath of fresh air. I'm not saying that all YA is preachy, because otherwise I wouldn't read it, but a lot of the time you can feel the author's opinions on teenage sex and relationships and drugs and pregnancy shining through. Not in Sacred Lies.
However, there are parts of this novel, significant parts, that are thinly veiled science versus religion debates and they really pissed me off. I understand that Minnow was raised crazy religious (emphasis on crazy), but did her cellmate, Angel, have to be so anti-religious? Did she has to be so atheist? Their conversations were jarring. There were no real shades of grey. Minnow believes in something, Angel believes in nothing. Their discussions simply sounded like the squabbling that goes on in the media day in and day out: Science versus Religion. I sped read through these sections. The debate was clearly the author's agenda. She clearly wanted to present both sides of this debate. I hate seeing an author's agenda in such blatant terms. I understand that Minnow needed a way to learn about the world, since she wasn't educated, but Angel could have conceded that there may be something else out there. Minnow comes around to scientific fact, but she still believes in something bigger. A person's beliefs are so magnificently complex that I feel like these conversations were an oversimplification. I could be being way too critical, but that's just my opinion.
I also loved the Jude/Minnow relationship and the way it progressed. It was so…real. Jude was her first love and he showed her the love and happiness and security and warmth that she was lacking from her family. But when Minnow went to juvy and started learning about the world, she started to outgrow Jude. And I thought that was amazing. How many YA series have you read where the main characters stay together forever? This rarely happens outside of movies and books and TV. So having Oakes depict this side of teenage relationships really moved me.
I loved this book. The plot, the pace, and the characters all worked. And were all so fresh that I really can't think of another book like it out there. Especially in YA land. However, the whole religion versus science thing was hard to swallow. So I give this book:
Definitely check this book out when it's released in July!

by Alexandra Edwards
Feeling frustration over the way local government were trying to implement a restrictive county wide zoning plan, and the one sided news coverage it was getting, my husband, Pete Edwards, decided he was going to start his own free newspaper. My initial reaction was that of surprise, not only had he no prior journalistic experience, but couldn't even type, let alone use a personal computer. Not wanting to be any part of this crazy notion, I told him flat that I wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. However, anyone who knows my husband well, understands that once he decides to do something, he does it. Within a few weeks he had bought a desktop computer, an ink jet printer, along with some typing tutor software and our spare bedroom was suddenly converted into an office. After seeing the sheer determination and self-discipline my husband had put into this new venture, I folded, feeling the least I could do was try and get some ads to cover printing costs of his publication.
Selling advertising was completely foreign to me, so I started out with the small local vendors close to home so as to get some practice. To my surprise, I managed to get 10 ads to help pay the printing company in Chattanooga for the first 8 page, black and white publication that Pete had successfully created in just one month.
In February of 1998, the first 4000 copies of The People News were printed and distributed around Bradley County, Tennessee. In a short time, extra color pages were added and it was not long before circulation rose to 10,000 copies. With the motto 'Dedicated to Tell You What the Others Won't,' The People News became a very popular 'free' monthly conservative newspaper read by thousands.
By 2010, rising costs of printing, along with the recession, made it necessary to end the printed copies of the newspaper and continue only with the online edition. Since his retirement a few years ago, Pete vowed he would keep the paper running online until his seventieth birthday, now sadly, that time has come.
Selling advertising to local vendors for The People News in those early years enabled me to meet some real nice and interesting people in the community. Some of those first advertisers became the paper's original writers who have remained loyal right to the end.
Columnist, Joe Kirkpatrick, was owner of a foreign auto parts business and was well known locally in the community. Recipe writer, Pauline Murphy, was owner of an ice cream shop at the mall. Her late husband Leo, in his early 90s at the time, always had some really fascinating stories to tell. Sports writer Jerry Keys, I met at a local Title loan company, though he was not interested in buying an ad, he offered to write on several different aspects of sports for the paper. While the somewhat 'controversial' June Griffin from Dayton, Tennessee was met at the Bradley County Planning meetings, fighting against the same restrictive countywide zoning that got the newspaper started. Pettus Read, former editor of the Tennessee Farm Bureau News has contributed by forwarding his Read All About It columns over the past 16 years.
Other early long-term writers that contributed to The People News were, County Commissioner, Mel Griffith, met while protecting property rights, was a regular columnist for The People News until just a couple of years ago. As was World War ll veteran, Cecil Owen, who sent in his hand-written column World War ll Secrets through the mail each month for several years. Pastor, Joel Lawler wrote inspirational articles our readers easily related to in his A Matter of Faith column, and retired school teacher, B.J. Armstrong, managed to write her health articles even when her eyesight was rapidly deteriorating.
All these Writers generously contributed their articles for over a decade without any compensation, yet none ever missed an issue. Ashley Murphy, has been employed as the paper's managing editor for the past few years adding a refreshing younger view in her article each month and newcomer Daniel Gardner has been regularly contributing his conservative viewpoint for the past four years.
Looking back, these past sixteen years as wife of an editor/publisher turned out to have a very positive impact on my personal life in so many memorable ways. During my reporting years for the newspaper I became interested in local politics and actually ran for office, not once, but twice. Though losing both times to incumbents, I believe my strong campaign against raising taxes, did at least have some effect as taxes in Bradley County have still not been raised in those twelve years. Campaigning also enabled me to get out and meet lots of wonderful people and explore some neighborhoods in the county I had never before been.
Writing my Life Styles article each month for The People News taught me that with a little research, one can write on whatever subject they choose.
Last, but not least, spending precious time with my husband during local government meetings was more like regular dates, far better than staying home and watching television. Remembering the smell of newsprint at the printers and the excitement we felt at seeing each edition as it came off the press and the fun we had distributing the paper around the county together each month. Staying up till all hours of the morning in order to meet the deadlines, which were always met. Listening to praises from readers that were so grateful for an alternative, conservative view that finally they could personally relate to.
All of the above have made me extremely proud to be married to the Publisher of The People News.
Thank you, Pete Edwards.

Master plan in works for future sewer needs
By Gail Geraghty
Staff Writer
The Dec. 13 referendum to allow for increased density of development in downtown Bridgton may hinge on one phrase — "Got sewers?"
Without planning for sufficient sewer capacity by expanding existing leach fields, there's not much point to lowering density requirements in the General Development District from either 50,000 or 25,000 square feet to 5,000 or 1,000 square feet, town officials agree.
So that's why Bridgton's Economic Development Committee has rolled up its sleeves and is working with the Wastewater Committee to develop a master plan for the town's sewer system, which currently services around 62 customers. Two more members with wastewater expertise — Chris McDaniels and Ken Brown — have been added to the Wastewater Committee, and more volunteers are needed.
At a joint meeting in late October, a 1974 plan for the original sewer system was reexamined to see what areas were identified as sites for new leach fields, beyond the two existing fields off Wayside Avenue and near the ballfield on lower Main Street.
One piece of town-owned land on Kansas Road, a sandy parcel across from the cemetery, seemed to hold promise as a new field to service future development in and around Pondicherry Square, where Avesta Housing Inc. is interested in building a new 21-unit senior housing project on the former Chapter 11 property. The Dec. 13 referendum would split the General Development District into two sub-districts, with the denser Pondicherry Square area being General Development 11, and the rest of downtown being General Development 1. Areas served by both water and sewer would be lowered to 1,000 square feet per bedroom unit.
Alan Manoian, director of Economic and Community Development, outlined the scope of work that began this week to pump all of the septic tanks that tie into the sewer system, in order to allow engineers from Wright-Pierce Engineering Co. to do a comprehensive inflow-infiltration study. In excess of 55 tanks of between 500 and 1,000 gallons connected to the system will be pumped over the next few weeks by Dyer Septic, with the costs covered by the town's Community Development Block Grant fund.
The state Department of Environmental Protection recently relicensed Bridgton's system for 21,000 gallons-a-day at the lower ballfield site. The average per-day usage there now is around 5,200 gallons-a-day, but that figure may not be dependable because of inflow and infiltration weaknesses in the system and other issues.
Still, Wastewater Committee Chairman Ray Turner said the system should have a 11,000 gallon-a-day "buffer" in terms of excess capacity, once all system weaknesses are identified and repaired.
The town's sewer ordinance requires that property owners would be responsible for paying for repairs from the tank to the street. Manoian said the town could use money from the Enterprise Fund to help pay for repairs in cases where a hardship can be identified, and then put a lien on the land to recapture the costs.
"The repairs all have to be done promptly, everybody knows that," Manoian said. The town has set a goal of having all repairs completed by the end of spring next year. Work is currently being done to repair a longitudinal crack on the bottom of the sewer line near Pine Street. Turner said that once other repair work is identified, it would be important for Bridgton to lobby to have those repair costs properly reflect the cost of labor in Bridgton.
The Wastewater Committee discussed the merits of considering a spray irrigation system for wastewater disposal, as advocated by member Bear Zaidman, who said such systems are used successfully at ski areas. Member Chuck Renneker said it would be important for the committee to coordinate efforts with the Comprehensive Plan Committee, which is identifying future growth areas in town.
Currently, the sewer system is gravity-fed, and runs along Main Street from just below Main Hill to Oak Street, also serving side streets along the way. It does not extend down Kansas Road, or Route 117, or Portland Road. If a developer wanted to build a high-density housing development on any side streets, a public/private shared system might be considered as a solution. Manoian said it's possible that some of the town's CDBG funds could be used for new sewer line construction, or in creating new leach fields.

Month: April 2012
should sachin and rekha be in rajya sabha? who else should be there …
There has been a bit of an uproar since sachin and rekha have been nominated to the rajya sabha. The supporters of the move are saying that it has given much needed glamour quotient to the house, while the folks opposing the nomination (mostly pseudo- intellectuals indulging in arm-chair activism) are saying that these two are not qualified for the post and what good will they do there.
Yours truely thinks that it is a brilliant move. These two have all the qualities that we want in our politicians –
1. Glamour – let hina rabbani khar meet rekha the next time she visits india. I am sure she'll realize what a ugly duckling she is in front of her. This will also be a big psychological victory for india and will give us an upper hand while negotiating with pak.
2. Ageless ness – politicians are anyways ageless. A 40 year old is called a baba (of rahul types), 80 year olds with one foot in grave dream of leading the nation. So by those standards, sachin and rekha are at just the right age to enter the house. Anyways, sachin and rekha are known to be eternally young (much like shahid afridi, too bad he's not an indian!) and they'll inspire those around them to stay young.
3. Never give up attitude – despite their age, sachin and rekha just do not give up. So what if their bodies are getting old, they continue to do what they do best. Rekha – acting and looking pretty. Sachin – playing cricket and acting in ads. They are inspirational. Ofcourse they deserve to be in rajya sabha.
Plus isn't it great that congress party has been able to do what great amitabh bachchan could not do – get rekha and jaya in the same house. Ofcourse they needed to involve lovable tendulkar as well to distract attention from this great achievement. But when you realize what great task they have been able to perform I am sure you'll go – CLAP, CLAP, CLAP (we should also send them to roadies – such great "tasks" they perform)…
So now that I've given enough reasons why sachin and rekha deserve to be in rajya sabha, let's also think about who else should be there … Here are my suggestions –
1. Cheer leaders -who wear teeny weeny clothes and not behenji type cheerleaders in shady full body covering dresses (they'll absolutely bring no "cheer" to our "leaders" and are an absolute disgrace I think).
Why do we need cheerleaders – arey simple hai yaar, just like in sports they inspire the sportsmen to hit 4s and 6s and to perform well. In rajya sabha they'll inspire MPs to pass bills. Imagine how many bills will be passed if the politicians are told that after each bill is passed the cheerleaders will come and do their routine. I am sure some folks will get bills passed just to see these pretty things in tiny clothes jump up and down.
2. Item girls – to stop folks from bunking from rajya sabha and to attract smart talent to this field. Let me elaborate. I believe that absenteeism from job reduces if pretty women are present in the work place. Look at the poor state of indian politicians, there are hardly any pretty politicians that'll inspire them to go to work. All we have are mamata, mayawati, jayalalita & co. It's obviously not surprising that men need to watch porn in the assembly. And after some folks are caught and the poor chappies are worried that they can be also be caught, some folks decided to act in porn clips. What desperation!!! Clearly they need pretty women in rajya sabha, and who better than item girls – they've got the body, they've got the assets, they've got the moves and they've got the groove.
There's another advantage of having these pretty women there. It'll attract bright young chappies to politics. Have you ever thought why are young folks not joining politics? – there's enough money, there's power, there is fame. The only thing missing are pretty babes I think. You add those to the equation and I see no reason why folks don't want to join politics…
I am sure that the pseudo intellectuals and arm chair activists must be jumping up and down shouting that they're not qualified and what will they do. Well, my dear fellas, Don't these item girls have any opinion on the matters of national interest. Ofcourse they do, and who's to say that their opinion is any less valid than yours. I think we need representation from them as well so that we can get views of folks from different of life to take good decisions. So please shut up and sit down (baith jaiye please), item girls are indeed needed in rajya sabha.
the national drink of india – Tea
It's been more than 60 years since we got our independence but still we did not designate any drink as the national drink of india. But the long wait is finally over. We now have a national drink – tea.
Tea faced a lot of competition from both soft drinks esp. From thums up with many politicians claiming that "aaj kuch toofani karte hain" is the need of the hour and so thums up should be the drink for our country.
But then our oldies politicians thought that we do not really need our young generations to be toofani, we already have enough toofaans and tsunamis already. I personally think that they were worried that some didis misunderstood the message as – aaj kuch mann maani karte hain, and they started "roll backs" and arresting cartoonists etc. The "Raja" type scamsters could also tweak the message as – aaj kuch bayimaani karte hain. Also, toofans in recent times have made us lose cricket matches, so thank you, no thums up please.
Slice in recent times has also gained a lot of attention. No, it's not because people crave for mangoes. But because of our dear shiela (full of her jawaani) and her antics in the slice "aamsutra" ad.
But then the moral police said that we cannot encourage such behavior of women in this great country. They can't act shamefully with fruits on national tv – today it is mango, what if someone makes banana or melons based drink. God only knows what will the ad makers make then…
Adults in the country said that when ever they want to have a good time, they rely on the king of good times – kingfisher. Plus it has a global appeal and would show that as a country we encourage good times (encouragement to FDI and tourism industry, eh!). But alas the king of good times himself is facing a financial crises and there is concern that he and his son would have to pose nude for the next year's kingfisher calender. The king of good times although says that there is nothing to worry and they've come up with a fantastic presentation to highlight the company's sexy figures to attract investment in their company. Now who can deny them money with such figures , have a look yourself –
But the babus and netas cannot take the risk and so unfortunately we cannot have kingfisher as our national drink.
Finally they decided to do some market research and found that according to marriage websites, 99 percent of the folks in the country are teetotalers… There we have the answer – ofcourse Tea should be the national drink of our tea totaler nation, esp. With its wide acceptance from richie rich cricketers to the aam aadmi (who while dreams of creating kamasutra, sorry I meant aamsutra, with katrina. But can realistically afford nothing more than a cup of kadak tea).
chennai super kings and IIT madras' plan of women requiring male escorts and whistles after 11 pm
What the hell is happening in the world these days. Clearly things are just so funny that you laugh so hard that your stomach starts to ache. The latest event/news is the safety plan of IIT madras in which certain areas are designated for unsafe for women and that women should not move alone outside after 11 pm, male volunteers will escort them. In case of any emergency women should blow (no not the male volunteer silly, but) the whistle. After you stop laughing (typically 10 min after reading the previous sentence or when your stomach starts to ache, whichever is sooner) and start to reflect on this plan, you'll realize that it is indeed quite thought provoking. Who came up with this and with what motives? It is indeed quite intriguing… Let me elaborate on my hypothesis…
Q. What this plan is trying to achieve. –
Option 1 – safety of women students
Option 2 – wholesale publicity of IIT madras and increased admissions
If you think that the answer to the question is option 1, then the only thing I can tell you is that – "baby, go drink some milk and sleep it's quite late in the night." Of course the correct answer is option 2. Imagine the scenario (it's all quite clear in front of my eyes) – this plan is so ridiculous that everybody will indulge in arm chair activism and discuss it. It will improve the brand recall of IIT madras and provide loads of publicity. Do I hear you say – But bad publicity – oh my dearies, all publicity is good publicity…
Also imagine the impact of this plan on prospective students and their parents. The male students will queue up to join IIT Madras (not because they want to become engineers but) because they'll dream of becoming volunteers as a part of this noble plan. As far as female candidates are concerned, it is but obvious that both they as well as their parents would want them to join IIT Madras for obvious reasons (females – male company ; parents – because they think that this is the "safe" IIT… Aah, the naïve fellas!!!).
So on the whole, this plan will help IIT Madras quite a bit in years to come.
Question – which are these so called "unsafe zones" for women
Option 1 – isolated places like some dark alleys, roads, garden etc
Option 2 – study places like library or even class rooms
If you answered option 1 then you are a fool or you are one of those morons who think that if answer to previous question was option 2 then then answer to this will be option 1 (duh!).
Just apply some brains and think. If you were one of the shady guys who plan to prey on a shareef female then were are you likely to hang out – ofcourse in study places whére some shareef and geeky females would come.
Who would you find in isolated places and if I were to find a shareef female in one of those places in the middle of night then it begs a question that why is she there in the first place.
Why whistles ?
Option 1 – to ask for help in case of emergency
Option 2 – sponsorship to make chennai popular – it's all about money, honey
Again the correct answer is option 2. Consider these facts, with these I rest my case –
1. IIT Madras is in chennai
2. IPL is going on
3. Chennai super kings is the team representing chennai
4. Whistle podu is the official anthem of chennai super kings
Don't be surprised if they later decide that they need to have students wear uniforms in IIT M. Any guesses what will be the color of the uniform of fellas from chennai (clue: Remember the poem – Yellow yellow dirty fellow).
I hope the above questions and their answers clarify the whole drama that's going on. It's a smart plot by IIT-M and chennai (super kings) to get publicity. Clearly there is a method in this madness…
mamata banerjee ko gussa kyun aata hai… didi and the cartoons
The cartoon and the story behind the arrest of jadavpur university profs …
The whole arrest affair caused outrage over twitter… Will didi get tweeple to vanish as well
She earlier got marx to vanish from the books… Students at times thought that marks have vanished ;p
Don't underestimate mamata didi, she can come out of the paper to get you …
She can also suppress the press …
Top 5 reasons why Shahrukh Khan (SRK) is always detained at airport by the US immigration authorities
Top 5 reasons why SRK is always detained at airport by the US immigration authorities –
1. When they ask him about his credentials, he replies – my name is "khan" and i am not a terrorist. Duh! only a terrorist would say that. Chor ki daari mein tinka. They say – ek maaro iske "kaan" ke neeche.
Obviously they did not even "like" his facebook page that he's made esp for them.
2. He stammers too much – so much that it arouses suspicion and a 15 minute interview becomes a 2 hours detention. Also, they refuse to believe how an ivy league colleage could call a person who dances in folks' marriages to come and deliver a lecture.
3. When he says that he's the owner of IPL team, they freak out and think that he has come to discuss with and give tips to the owners of new york yankees which'll turn yankees into a 3rd rate team like Kolkata Knight Riders.
4. Every few years he acts like a "don" and keeps mumbling that "don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi namumkin hai" – obviously if you give random challenges to the authorities then you need to be aware of the consequences.
5. He makes crappy movies like Ra.One and goes overboard while promoting them. Audience gets over-bored while watching them. US authorities get worried that he could be carrying weapons of mass destruction like the script or DVDs of Ra.One.
who's bilawal (bhutto zardari) and why is he in india …
It was a nice and peaceful easter sunday till I opened my newspaper and turned on the television. (On a unrelated note – newspapers and telly are the best mood spoilers these days). Anyways, all I saw was some young chap (just to be clear he is 24 years young and not 40 something young baba!) Called bilawal. My first reaction was – what!, what did you say – Bill of agarwal, but I never bought any sweets from there. Again the voice boomed – bilawal. This time I heard more clearly, but I was still not sure – bill ya wall. Wall I know – rahul dravid, but bill? Is it bill as in clinton types or the mouse hole types?
I decided to switch from telly to the normally more reliable medium – newspaper. Aah… Here again on the front page, there is a news about some chap called bilawal. It made me start singing a song –
I dunno why he's here
And what he wants to do
I guess he's got a reason
But I just don't wanna know
23 years he's been living next door (pakistan)
He's bilawal…
Bilawal!, who the f#@$ is Bilawal
Next I read that bilawal is having lunch with rahul gandhi. Oye, but rahul gandhi only lunches with poor folks for their votes. (Don't believe me, look below)
So how does bilawal fit in. And surely bilawal has not come to india to have lunch with rahul baba (especially knowing rahul baba's reputation of taking rotis from other folks' plate!).
I decided to do some investigations on my own and bingo yours truely turned out to be a better hit than the dear travel agent vinod who could only manage a solo hit at wasabi restaurant, anyways let me not digress). Here are the results of my investigations –
1. It turns out that bilawal has not been able to access facebook and he got to know that facebook is accessible in india. So he turned up here. Don't believe me (you all bhi na, uff), look at this link – http://mobile.twitter.com/Bilawal_Bhutto – (too bad I can't do a print screen on my humble blackberry!)
2. After hina rabbani khar's super duper visit and popularity, bilawal thought Let me also visit india, afterall what's she got that I ain't got (duh! – everybody knows that)
3. Bilawal wants to get a role in jism 3 opposite sunny (leone types, not the deol types. You guys bhi na, too much). He knows that indian telly and film industry wants to hire high profile foreigners to get people to watch, otherwise moronic, reality shows and movies. Sources tell me that Bilawal's preference is to act in jism 3 and/or mtv roadies and /or big boss. He also wants to attend a ipl match, where pakistanis are not allowed. If he's not able to do any of the above then he will atleast request film industry of india to allow him to do a "item number" to make his india trip successful.
Here's a photo he is showing everyone to prove how popular he's with the ladies (better than emraan hashmi, he claims) –
So don't be surprised if bilawal bunks the lunch and goes missing for a bit. 😉
