The Protagonist, Dhruv, is a hot shot advertising executive who falls for his subordinate Anuradha. Though she doesn't work for him directly, yet the end up interacting and falling for each other in spite of the fact that Dhruv is married and has kids. However, Anuradha has a murky past which threatens their relationship. Things escalate quickly and Dhruv is forced to choose between his life and Anuradha.
Cliche story line, gaping plot-holes, lack of proper motive - That's just the complaints I have with the story line as such. The thriller part of the story needed a bit more of care and attention. Th
All the characters were sketched out rather well barring one - that of Dhruv's. I can't really comprehend his motives to cheat. He is neither portrayed to be bored nor is he desperate. It fails to strike me as to how a fully grown adult falls for that heat of the moment thing and goes on to cheat. This would probably suit a Young Adult with raging hormones, but does really not make sense for an adult. Anuradha's character was perfect but was typical of that of some one with a bad past. Kind of reminds me of all those typical Bollywood characters who end up falling for the married guy because of their own past.
I went on to finish the book solely because of the writing and clean editing! Perfect phrasing, no fancy vocabulary!
Verdict : Apart from the slightly misleading title and a predictable story, that book was an okay read.

I've known the writer for quite a while now and have interacted with her over social media. Having not read her previous works, this book came as a complete surprise for me. The book turned out to be an interesting and un-put-downable read.
The story revolves around an alleged theft and an intense royal love affair. The story begins with an antique piece being stolen. Shefali, the art curator is accused of stealing the beautiful piece of art, the fabarge from the Ranaut royals. Prince Aryan, the heir of the family is after Shefali to retrieve it back. However, as expected, Shefali isn't the actual culprit. What unfolds is a high speed story with a dash of romance.
The main characters - Shefali and Aryan, along with the other sub characters were sketched out very clearly with enough information being given about each of them. Done to perfection would be the apt phrase to describe it.
The plot as such was well thought of with critical elements like romance and suspense incorporated in correct amount into the story. However, the dynamism is what I found a little unsettling. Aryan was the typical hot headed prince who didn't bother to check his facts thoroughly before trying to accuse someone of theft, but the moment he finds out the truth he simply melts and changes his stand. Barring this slight hitch, this book was perfect read.
Brownie points to the author for the perfect cover!

FINDING THE ANGEL
All She wanted was love...
Shefali is a die-hard romantic. Having lost her parents at a very tender age, she is in search of a place which she can call home. Her passion for Art lands her a job as an art curator to the famous artifacts of the Ranaut Dynasty. When she meets the scion, Aryan Ranaut, she feels that her dream might come true until…
All He wanted was to trust…
Living the life of a modern day Prince is no easy task for the young and dashing Aryan Ranaut. Having lost his father to a rapacious woman, Aryan has severe trust issues. But upon meeting Shefali, he feels he could let down his guard. Until…
All They need is to find The Angel…
Just as Aryan realizes his love for Shefali, one of the most precious artifacts, The Angel, goes missing from the Ranaut collection. All fingers point towards Shefali—more so because she leaves the palace without telling anyone on the very night of the theft.
Finding the Angel is a story where duty clashes with love and lack of trust overrides passion. Under these circumstances, can The Angel bring the star-crossed lovers together?

Ponni's Beloved - An English Translation Of Kalki Krishnamurthy's Ponniyin Selvan by Sumeetha Manikandan : Review
It is a dream of every Tamilian to read this masterpiece of Tamil literature at least once in their lifetime. The original narration, the description and plot in general have captivated millions of people, young and old alike. Revered by a whole generation of people, this book is a bench mark of sorts of a perfect historical fact based fiction. The very idea of translating such a magnificent work of fiction by itself is terrifying. To take up such a task and trying and retaining the essence of the story is simply herculean.
Having heard people rave about the visual imagery the book presented, I was curious if the writer could actually come up with a translation which could render the same effect. To my utter surprise, the writer has a done a rather commendable job of bringing about the visual imagery. The setting of the story could be visualized perfectly. The writer has also painstakingly written a glossary of about 170 words which were in Tamil. It is evident from this that the writer has retained much of the original phrases verbatim. Thankfully, the book is in the digital format, thus making it easier for the reader to switch between pages. This attention to detail for words is commendable.
The original story is famous for it's diverse subjects primarily focusing on politics and betrayal. Focusing on the story in this review is not possible as the book is a work of translation. Moreover, one has to savor this story instead of reading about it.
To settle into this story, one needs quite some time. Such is the story line as such. I had already attempted to read this very book's translated version by a different writer. I couldn't get past the initial few pages. The narration seemed too dry for my taste. It was almost the same case with this book too, but I was resolved to finish it off. One added advantage was that, I was already acquainted with this writer's style of writing. That made things a bit easier.
The mark of any good work of translation is to open up the story and culture of the original version to diverse readers. This book has achieved that goal to a major extent! Looking forward for the next edition.
One book ought not to be missed!
The book is a collection of photographs by Debra Schoenberger taken in various places across India in various states including Delhi, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh. Most of the photographs are in color while a few of them are in black and white.
The subject includes both humans and things. The introduction to the book is short and crisp, almost poetic in a way, but that's all it is. The photographer has let her pictures do the talking rather than giving an introduction to each picture. The pictures are predominantly candid, while there are some photographs where the subject pose beautifully. The photographer has managed to capture the diverse culture of northern part of India. The color, the vividness and the clarity is remarkable. A picture speaks a thousand words, but there are times when a word amplifies the context. That lack of context made a vast difference with this book. Had there been a couple of lines about the picture in terms of where it was taken etc, it would made a lot of difference.
Commenting on the technical aspect of the photos does not really make sense. All that matters is that if the photos actually bring out the emotion or the reality of the subject in question. There were few photographs which hit home, while some failed to make an impact. For example, the photograph with a man dying colors on a thread hit home in terms of the richness and depth, while there are silhouette pictures which were a tad too dark to be appreciated fully.
India is a land of colours and diversity. The photographer has made a rather conscious attempt to capture the richness of the colors and culture. However, given that she traveled only the northern part of the country, the diversity part of the culture isn't reflected in the photographs. Moreover, to the west, the very word "India" conjures up and abstract image of snake charmers and crowded streets, which also seems to be a theme of sorts of this book. There are places in the country where modernization and "Westernization" has dug its claws into. This book fails to capture that part of the country which has now become an integral part of the country. Not all roads are crowded and dingy. Not all buildings are old and dilapidated!

Millionaire scion Aradhaya has just lost his parents and is cheated by the woman he marries. On a rebound he falls for Sambhavi, renowned writer and professor. She lays her terms, driving him to give up too soon. To recoup from dejection, he leaves his house and starts to live in a recluse, working with complete strangers to bring about a positive change in their area. Does Sambhavi accept Aradhaya now?
A simple and neat cover which depicts the protagonists against a simple backdrop. The cover does give subtle hints about the story.
Having read the writer's previous works, I had very high expectations with respect to characterization. His previous work was spot on in this department. However, this book disappointment me a wee bit. Aradhaya's characterization was perfect with enough flaws and strengths exposed, but Sambhavi's character seemed way too superficial. Her core character of being strong lacked that conviction for me. In fact, her character paled out in comparison with Aradhaya's character. I would have preferred a bit more depth for Sambhavi's character
The unusual story, the philosophical conversations and the love triangle. The first half of the story which involved all characters was quite captivating to read. The writer seems to have evolved a lot from his first book. The language and general writing seems to be much better with this book which made it a tolerable read.
What could have been better
The pacing slacked mid way. The initial setting did leave the writer with enough scope to steer the story with a much faster pace and a different direction, but the writer choose not to. Also, the whole love angle between a teacher and a student seemed way too cliche to me. The part where Aradhaya goes into recluse, but ends up building an entertainment park seemed a tad unrealistic and not conforming to the plot setting the writer initially put up. He ends up doing good using his surname and father's money. It's not his own money. Agreed that he had the intention to do good in first place, but the means of doing it does confirm to the ideals the writer set in the first part of the story. The climax seemed a tad too hurried and could have been structured better.

Bossypants by Tina Fey is my first ever full fledged Audio book. My first experience with an audio-book was a short story narrated by my favorite British Actor - Benedict Cumberbatch. After a large serving of perfect Indian home-cooked traditional meal, it's hard not to doze over post lunch. When your work is mind boggling and requires you to pay rapt attention, one can't help but resort to various means of staying awake - Cups of coffee, metal/rock music blaring or for people like me, sneak reading/audio books. This book was such fun to listen to that I ended up chuckling loudly only to end up earning weird looks from people sitting around me.
The voice, the narration, the pauses, the tone - every single element of the audio book was perfect. Having grown up in another part of the world, this book was an eye opener when it came to the media culture in the America - the country which still remains to be a dream for many people. With self effacing humor and intelligent storytelling, this audio-book is such a pleasure to listen to. The narrator/writer in question is a complete stranger to me. I've not watched her shows and haven't even heard of her until now. I'm not sure if I would have liked this book had I read it in it's original paper format. The narration by the writer herself made this audio book a great read. As a matter of fact, this audio book would be a great place to start for people who aren't familiar with the format. Speaking from personal experience, the voice of the narrator and the narration in itself, most often drives away people from this format owing to monotony. Imagine having to hear an interesting story in your ears being narrated by some person with deadpan narration. Most of the narrator often do a good job, but there are exceptions too. However, this book wasn't a part of that exception category!

His Christmas Delight
Excerpt from His Christmas Surprise
She hovered a moment, her eyes going wide in astonishment – the only feature visible in her face which she’d cloaked with a wraparound on the lower and another on the upper part of her face. She sensed his reserve, partly turned away as he was, attempting to give her space. To his surprise, she put the chicken on the counter and then came forward. Towards him. Upto him. Then she reached out slender arms and pulled him down to put her mouth on his.
A shockwave ran through his body. It was a quick kiss, yet not a peck. Her mouth moved as though learning the imprint of his, her body moved a fraction closer. Dan felt her breasts, soft yet firm, press against his chest. His breath caught, blood roared in his veins and he felt the unmistakable distinct flare of desire. Whether it was the forbidden nature of the caress, or the length of time since he’d been this close to a woman, he was caught in the temptation. It shocked him, exhilarated him and suspended him in the moment, as time and space receded. He might have reacted more, he didn’t know. She stepped back and he was left, grappling with the reality.
She picked up the package.
‘Wait!’ He spoke almost too late. She had nearly reached the door. She stopped but didn’t turn back. He could read fear in the tense lines of her body.
Night manager and ordinary islander Marie doesn't need a knight in shining armour to rescue her from her misery. Not that she is miserable, just that having a loving companion doesn't hurt. In comes waltzing the handsome and smart Prince Christian of Taragonia. Sparks fly right from the start and she ends up accepting an invite to stay with Prince Christian's sister and her friend, Princess Olivia. Things go from bad to worse, thanks to the media and a fact that Marie is a commoner. Does this fairy tale involving royalty have a happy ending?
Kind of looks a bit too ordinary for this extraordinary and well written tale. I would have preferred something a bit exquisite!
Well-balanced would be the word to describe the characterization. In the initial part of the story, the writer focused on Olivia's character and then gradually progressed to Marie's and Christian's character. She weaved little sub stories to bring in the human side of a character which was touted to be a stoic royal. However, one such sub story (where Christian flies over to Africa with Marie to find her parents but ends up saving people caught in floods) seemed little deliberately written to give depth to the character. Nevertheless, this didn't hamper the plot's flow.
The characterization, the plot line and the writing in general were flawless. The romance between a commoner and a royal was written with a good sense of reality. Immaterial of the times we are in, a relationship between a person from the lower rung of the society in terms of income and stature with that of some one from the upper crust of the society doesn't not sit well. Civilization is yet to progress to a state where two people can love each other without having to think about their stature in the society. It is evident that the writer has researched well to sketch the characters and relationships between modern day royals and commoners.Thankfully she didn't portray the royals as people with way too much money which they flaunted meaninglessly.
What could have been better
The writer chose the traditional method of scaring off a character to abandon the relationship - The case when media wrecks havoc in the relationship of a celebrity. I would have rather preferred an actual fight or argument between the protagonists. Just my perspective!
Recommendation : For romance lovers! Clean, neat and well written book!

Double murder in a remote forest area. One victim shot at close range, other while escaping. The victims are rumored to have been in an affair while one of them was married. Seems like a classic case of revenge murder. Surprisingly, all markers point other wise. Investigative officer Daniele Harper chases all lead patiently only to hit a roadblock in spite of the mammoth amount clue markers. In comes blazing Scott black, the ballistics expert who helps Daniele crack the case. Sparks fly and they end up cracking the case just a tad too wide open!
The cover isn't really visually appealing, but it has been designed very tactfully in order to ensure that the reader doesn't end up judging the book by it's cover. The book back summary however, entices a reader enough to pick up the book!
It is very hard to concentrate on characterisation when the plot line requires action rather than the characterisation. A romantic mystery, however, does provide that little space to manoeuvre and bring out various shades of characters, predominantly of the protagonists. The writer evidently has made maximum use of this gap to show various shade of Dani's and Scott's character. Dani grows up crushing on her brother's friend, Scott and finally when they find each other, the connection is explosive. This connect doesn't occur immediately, but after the typical struggle between being in love and lusting. The writer has perfectly portrayed that period of trying to find each other. It was surprising to notice that other minor characters were also given their appropriate space balanced perfectly.
The suspense element was kick-ass. The final twist was nothing short of being mind blowing. The writer evidently knows her way around crafting a perfect plot with enough markers to maintain that suspense element.The chemistry between Dani and Scott blended perfectly well into the story instead of sticking out. The story line line was well thought of and logically balanced. There weren't any glaring logical errors in the plot. The writing was well balanced. The perfect mix of both worlds - Romance and a good mystery. The writer beautifully slipped between both worlds, doing equal justice to them. That balance is what made this book a perfect romantic thriller.
What could have been better
The story begins with two murders. Both the victims aren't given much characters. They sounded so cold and impersonal in a way. Had this been a wee bit different, the climax could have been better justified and would have also packed an emotional punch. Though the plot line was unpredictable, the motive to kill was justified flimsily. This is also the direct consequence of not elaborating on the victim's personality as such. That's my only qualm with the book!
Recommendation : For mystery and romance lovers. Well balanced and perfect read!

Spurs turned to the former Celtic manager following failed experiments with perhaps more established names in Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
While Postecoglou is not getting carried away, his team are unbeaten in the Premier League thus far and have a brilliant chance of extending that run at home to Sheffield United on Saturday.
Playing an exciting brand of football and full of goals even despite the departure of the talismanic Harry Kane, the likes of Cristiano Romero, Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr look reborn under his watch.
Bale, who played in an attacking Tottenham team under Harry Redknapp before returning briefly for the Mourinho era, is impressed and says he would have enjoyed playing under the Australian.
“Yeah, definitely,” he said when asked if he would have enjoyed playing in this Spurs team.
“It’s great to see. They’ve got the style back, I think that’s something the club were probably looking for as well. Hopefully there’s still more to come from the team.”

NEW DELHI (TIP):With a week to go for election results to be declared and little chance of the ruling coalition getting a fresh term, UPA ministers and their staff have started winding up. Most offices wear a deserted look with ministerial staff either looking at foreign postings or starting to scout for their next assignment within the country.
The early birds have already taken up new assignments. For instance, Indu Shekhar Chaturvedi, who was private secretary to PM Manmohan Singh, has moved to Washington as a senior advisor in the International Monetary Fund. Similarly, Anjali Prasad, who was the additional secretary responsible for FDI policy, has joined as India’s ambassador to WTO in Geneva.
There are several others who are in contention for foreign assignments, starting with the government’s chief spokesperson Neelam Kapoor, who is said to be headed for Nehru Centre in London. Also in the race for a job at the Indian high commission in London is commerce and industry minister Anand Sharma’s private secretary Ashish Kundra, while the minister’s officer on special duty Ayush Mani Tiwari may move to the Indian mission in Brussels.
Even finance minister P Chidambaram’s OSD, Vijay Singh Chauhan, is a candidate to be an advisor to India’s executive director to the World Bank in Washington. Officials, however, say this is not a surprise given that bureaucrats often get prized postings after stints with ministers. Even in 2009, Pulok Chatterjee, who was then a secretary in the PMO, had moved to Washington as executive director to the World Bank. Similarly, DPS Sandhu, who was also part of the PMO, went to Washington.
Shakti Sinha, a trusted aide of former PM A B Vajpayee, sought and got a posting with the World Bank after the NDA government lost the trust vote by a single vote. Although outgoing regimes take care to ensure that choice foreign postings for their trusted officers are secured, the practice has over the years become so institutionalized that it is seen as a ‘given’, even an entitlement which succeeding governments will not like to interfere with for the risk of appearing mean-spirited.
The ministers themselves are bidding farewell, starting this weekend itself. Commerce and industry minister Anand Sharma, for instance, has invited senior officials for lunch at a kebab joint in a five-star hotel near the Delhi airport for what appears to be his last such meeting before election results are out. Finance minister P Chidambaram is scheduled to meet regulators and top North Block officials at the meeting of the Financial Sector Development Council, where the agenda, apart from the immediate issues facing banks, insurance companies and stock markets, will be to bid adieu after spending years with most of the regulators.
Later, he meets public sector bank chiefs. “Obviously, with just days to go with the result, he can’t be telling us what we should do during the financial year,” said a bank chairman who did not wish to be identified. In fact, the mood has already begun to change in the ministries and departments with information flow suddenly increasing, often causing embarrassment to the government (Doordarshan’s interview of Narendra Modi and the industry department report on Gujarat land intervention being cases in point).
Packing has already begun at 7 Race Course Road, the PM’s official residence, with books and others articles being carefully catalogued as Singh prepares to move into a new bungalow on Motilal Nehru Marg. An agency report said all gifts received by Singh or members of the PMO are being catalogued and handed over to the treasury.

1 Live like Robinson Crusoe
Like a gem in a crown, the township of Braslav is surrounded with about 300 lakes. The lakes appeared due to a glacier that ‘ironed’ this territory about 20,000 years ago. Due to the great number of lakes, this area is called Poozerie (meaning ‘Lacustral Area’).
The Braslavskie Ozera National Park (Braslav Lakes) occupies the largest part of Poozerie. Fans of ‘back to nature’ vacations can choose a stay on numerous islands, in the style of Robinson Crusoe. The purity of the water makes swimming a delight and exploring the underwater life a stunning aquatic adventure.
Here, you can go fishing even when you’re in the middle of town. Perch, bream, sander, and pike abound in the Drivyaty Lake, with one of its shorelinesalso being an actual Braslav street.
2 Become King of the Hill
Climb up Castle Hill, the site of an 11th century ancient settlement. Long ago, there stood a wooden castle with seven towers. Five hundred years ago, Alexander Jagiellon, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, visited the town, accompanied by his wife Helena, the daughter of Moscow Duke Ivan III. The Duchess was so astonished with what she saw that the lovestruck Duke presented his beloved with the town of Braslav and all surrounding lands. Helena, in appreciation and acknowledgement, founded an orthodox nunnery in the area.
In summertime, the hill becomes a venue to host international knight tournaments, feasts and related events, bringing together thousands of participants and onlookers every year.
3 Ask the Lake Mistress for help
Stairs from the Castle Hill lead to the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church. Construction of the church started in 1824. The altar holds a much-lauded icon of Braslav — Holy Mother of the God who is said to work miracles. Also known as the Lake Mistress. Believers say that the icon helps those afflicted with alcohol addiction.
Across the road, visitors will find the Holy Assumption Church. Savvy tourists might complain that the white plastered building is modest and unassuming. Yet, inside there is a true cultural treasure — a three-level iconostasis, crafted by Kyiv masters.
4 Drink living water
Locals believe that the Okmenitsa healing well is a genuine miracle. They say that the water is rejuvenating and remains fresh for several months. To honour the life-giving spring, custom dictates that partakers of the healing waters should throw in a coin or make a knot on a tree branch. That is why the trunks of all the nearest pine trees are decorated with colourful knotted cloths.
5 Photograph wildlife
Braslav is a perfect destination for a family weekend. Children are always happy to visit the Traditional Culture Museum where they can learn to make pots using a real throwing wheel or weave a belt on an ancient loom.
Deer are kept in a local safari park. Currently, visitors may ‘hunt’ them with a photo camera. Exciting developments within the park will soon enable visitors to take part in a costumed royal hunt with bows and arbalests (traditional crossbows).

New Research Says Mindfulness Can Reduce Unconcious Racial Bias
In light of recent events involving fatal police confrontations with unarmed people of color, it's clear that racial biases are still alive and well.
Seeking some sort of solution, scientists at Central Michigan University conducted a small-scale study to see how mindfulness could affect implicit racial associations in the subconscious — the involuntary feelings that surface when we look at an image of someone of another race. And they reported that a 10-minute introduction to mindfulness meditation could, in fact, help combat racial biases.
The researchers told 72 white college students the study was about "the relationship between listening to an audiotape and reaction time." Half of them listened to a 10-minute introduction to mindfulness, while the other half listened to a 10-minute discussion about natural history.
The mindfulness recording, which was based on Buddhist principles, "instructed participants to become aware of bodily sensations (heartbeat and breath) and fully accept these sensations, and any thoughts, without restriction, resistance, or judgment," according to Pacific Standard.
All participants then completed an Implicit Association Test (IAT), which is a social psychology measure designed to gauge the strength of a person's automatic associations. In this instance, black, white, old, and young faces were randomly paired with positively and negatively associated words. The students then had to respond to these words as quickly as possible by pressing either the "positive" or "negative" key.
As the researchers had rather pessimistically hypothesized, they found that white people have a quicker response time for positive words associated with white faces than positive words associated with black faces. Conversely, the participants also more quickly associated black faces with negative words than white people with negative words.
Yet there is some hope: The study also showed that those who underwent a mindfulness meditation exercise had significantly weaker racial biases than those who had not. The researchers hypothesized that this may be because mindfulness encourages longer thought processes rather than snap judgments.
While it may be optimistic thinking, these findings show how powerful a tool mindfulness can be in overcoming these impulsive — and, as has been proven as of late, harmful — associations. We are nowhere near a post-racial society, but this study offers hope that, if we're willing, we can rid ourselves of these prejudices by becoming more self-aware.

The last few days we have been traveling and visiting with family. On Thursday we left for Idaho. I packed breakfast and lunch sandwiches and fruit for the trip. For breakfast, we has fruit and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. For lunch, I made tomatoes and lettuce sandwiches, and cream cheese with olives sandwiches. Most of the kids preferred the peanut butter and jelly, and even the salad sandwiches over the cream cheese ones, which is ok with me since they would be healthier choices anyway.
So, I thought I would share my salad sandwich recipe with you since I thought it was the most flavorful and best one of all of them.
I bought the bread at the local bakery outlet and the produce at the local ranch market in town. The beans I got at the 99 cents only store.
So for 6 sandwiches this is what I used.
12 slices of bread
6 leaves of green leaf lettuce
6 slices of a large tomato.
Mayonnaise of choice, I used a vegan mayo.
1 can of Rosarita's vegetarian re fried beans
Spread 2 slices of bread with mayo, then spread 1 of the slices with a thin layer of beans. Place a slice of tomato, and a leaf of lettuce on the beans, then top with the other slice of bread. Do this for all the sandwiches you desire to make! Now, put them all in a container to go in the cooler with ice or other cooling device. Then you're good to go for lunch or other meal on the go!
Anyway, I intend to, in the future, try my hand at making my own version of refried beans that I will then share with you! If you have any recipes you would like to share, you do so in the comments below!

Local Family Celebrates Thanksgiving in a New Alachua Habitat for Humanity Home
Gainesville – Saturday a local Gainesville family celebrates the true spirit of Thanksgiving at the dedication of their new Alachua Habitat for Humanity home at 1123 NE SR26 at 9:00AM.
The abandoned home with three acres was acquired by Habitat for Humanity through a grant donation program with Chase Bank. The home was completely rehabbed using more than 300 volunteers and 2080 volunteers’ hours.
“Chase is firmly committed to helping families pursue affordable homeownership through our home donation program,” said Ronald Branch, Vice President of Community Reinvestment & Community Partnerships for Chase. “We are pleased to partner with Alachua Habitat for Humanity, which shares our commitment to revitalize neighborhoods and help low-to-moderate income families achieve affordable and sustainable homeownership.”
After moving to Gainesville in 2009 from Miami, the Profit family’s dream of a new life for their children was crushed when the home they were expecting to buy fell through. They did not abandon their dream. In 2012, after attending an Alachua Habitat for Humanity Homeownership Orientation, their hope was renewed and they were accepted into the Habitat program. An extraordinary 2080 volunteer hours later, the Profit’s new home is ready for occupancy.
For new homeowner and mother, Shaniqua Profit, the most important part about their new home is the accessibility for her and her two physically handicapped sons, Louis Jr. and Robert, 4th and 6th grade students attending Lake Forest Elementary School and Lincoln Middle School respectively. Both children are ecstatic about having their own bedrooms in a place they can call home.
The home where they have been renting has been a challenge as it was not handicap accessible. Their new home is now completely handicap accessible inside and out.
“The Profits are an extraordinary family,” Kristine Thompson, Family Services Program Director. “They have touched the hearts of all who came into contact with them. The family’s joy and appreciation and thankfulness have endeared them to all who have met them. This family just embodies the Habitat mission to build homes, communities and hope.”
Join us at the dedication of the Profit’s home on Saturday, Nov. 22, 9:00AM at 1123 NE State Road 26.

Well as if you didn't know, Frank Frazetta is one of my favorite artists, ever! We got the inspiration for the Cataclysmic Abyss (www.CataclysmicAbyss.com) cover art from old Frankie! Mike Sutfin did a masterful rendition on his own right. (He did our cover art. I have the orginal and it's tiny teeny weenie!)
I was glancing through some Frazetta archive book and came across this cover he did for Blazing comics back in April 1966. I liked the lettering style so I asked, F illustrator extrodinaire, John McGuire, tod do a Foundation version for us. Ours is not a straight rip off. It's inspired and I am hyped on the end results.
We added Yuck Fou in there popping through the O giving a thumbs up. The top graphic is a full reverse and you see YF ass hanging out the back of the O.
It's called Blazing of course and comes in three sized decks and on a tee. Hot pink was the call here. Don't be a pussy!

I've had no cooling issues with either of the installed 9800s. However, the card which is closer to the NB runs a little hotter. These cards fans offer plenty of cooling and when the fans are spun up to 75-80% its loud.... One interesting issue with my cards is once they spin up the stay at that speed until I reboot. I installed Riva Tuner and now use custom profiles to manage my fan speeds.

The bird is listed as threatened in Kansas
By ALLISON KITE, Kansas Reflector
U.S. President Joe Biden vetoed legislation meant to undermine federal protections for the lesser prairie chicken, a previously ubiquitous bird that is now endangered in several states.
The legislation, introduced by U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas, and co-sponsored by fellow Kansas Republican Sen. Jerry Moran and four other senators, sought to undo a listing by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
In his veto message, Biden said the legislation would “overturn a science-based rulemaking that follows the requirements of the law.”
“The lesser prairie-chicken serves as an indicator for healthy grasslands and prairies, making the species an important measure of the overall health of America’s grasslands,” Biden said. “If enacted, (the legislation) would undermine America’s proud wildlife conservation traditions, risk the extinction of a once-abundant American bird and create uncertainty for landowners and industries who have been working for years to forge the durable, locally led conservation strategies that this rule supports.”
Biden’s veto Tuesday sparked outrage from supporters of the legislation, with Marshall saying “we shouldn’t be shocked at this continued attack from President Biden on rural America.”
U.S. Rep. Tracey Mann, a Republican representing western Kansas, claimed voluntary efforts to conserve the lesser prairie chicken had been effective.
“At a time when record-breaking drought is crushing rural communities, crop production and native grasslands, we need more rain, not more regulations,” he said.
Listing the lesser prairie chicken as threatened or endangered has been a controversial prospect in Kansas for years.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service previously listed the bird as threatened in 2014, but the decision was reversed under a court order.
In 2019, three conservation groups sued the federal government to force a decision on the lesser prairie chicken. The groups, including the Center for Biological Diversity, claimed the Department of the Interior and USFWS were in violation of the Endangered Species Act by failing to make a ruling on a 2016 petition to list the birds.
The bird was ultimately listed in November as threatened in Kansas and endangered in southwestern states.
The lesser prairie chicken, which lives in prairie grass and shrubs in western Kansas, once numbered in the hundreds of thousands. But U.S. wildlife officials estimated at the time they listed the bird last year that 90% of the habitat the birds once inhabited is gone and only about 32,000 lesser prairie chickens remain.

Passport to the World
What do you get when an education and teaching background in art, art history and speech is combined with decades of family adventures on luxury cruise liners and one serendipitous event? Well, a career as a destination lecturer to amazing places all over the world, of course. In other words, a dream life!
Meet Verla Brown: artist, historian, lecturer, photographer, writer, and traveler extraordinaire. While on a cruise thirty something years ago, Verla's husband, Bill, overheard the captain's concern over the scheduled lecturer not being allowed on board in China. Bill immediately volunteered Verla to fill in. Her spontaneous lecture so inspired her audience of passengers, she provided several more talks during that sailing. She has been cruising and lecturing ever since. Her cruising log is pretty impressive: 500 plus cruises, including 17 sailings around the world.
On the day I interviewed Verla at her home, she was busily packing her bags and enhancing her presentations for yet another adventure in Southeast Asia. This assignment will take her to Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Vietnam.
While she specializes in art of the Orient, her destination lectures also include the Mediterranean, Baltic, Europe, Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Verla is a virtual encyclopedia of information, including the best places to shop around the world-a topic in which she loves to engage. Her Power Point topics are fascinating and tailored to the itinerary of each cruise. They include stunning photographic examples of the culture, architecture, art, history and religion of each port city. She treated me to a sample presentation. I could have stayed all afternoon!
Besides her ongoing cruise ship assignments, Verla has lectured on the subject of Southeast Asia for Fortune 500 corporations and several universities, including South Carolina's own USCB. She once shared the speaking platform with Sir Edward Heath and William Buckley on this topic: Influence of Chinese history on Hong Kong-One Country, Two Governments.
Verla is renowned for her "People of the World", a 100 plus watercolor collection of characters in native dress performing daily tasks of their culture (see photo). She describes her inspiration and process: "I meet interesting people in the places I visit. When someone catches my eye, I record the image visually, go back to my room, and quickly paint what I saw." This collection has been exhibited in many galleries, and is soon to be showcased in her hometown of Davenport, Iowa. She has created a DVD of this spectacular collection accompanied by a music sound track.
A teacher of Sumi-E, oriental brush painting, Verla studied with a master in New York City for five years. I visited her class in action and was inspired by this exquisite style that lends itself to coaxing out the artist in everyone.
This multi-talented lady is also a writer. Passport to the World is the title of Verla's new (soon to be published) book, which combines personal travel experiences and historical information, with a touch of humor and intrigue.
From the open seas to the world of computer technology, Verla Brown is right at home.
About four years ago, Verla's beloved husband passed away. Despite her grief, she pulled herself together and bravely continued her work. Now she is frequently accompanied by one of her three devoted sons and family members on her journeys. She is truly a powerful example of living the dream and not letting life's tragedies stop you.
Her motto is "Don't fear. Just trust."
Inspired By: Michaelangelo's perseverance and dedication to his passion.
What People May Not Know about Verla: She tailors her own clothes from fabrics she purchases in the Orient.
Next Adventure: Kayaking on the Halong Bay in Vietnam

Our boats, like our cars require routine maintenance to keep them running smoothly and safely. No matter what type of boat you have, regular cleaning and maintenance is necessary.
A visual check of your boat every time you go out isn’t enough when it comes to essential boat maintenance. You’ll also want to clean up after each travel and maintain a regular maintenance routine for your boat. Fortunately, many maintenance jobs are doable by most boat owners and do not necessitate the services of a mechanic. However, if you want assistance or a major repair.
Boat maintenance, in general entails maintaining your boat clean and oiled. You wouldn’t want to take your boat out for a ride without correct fluid levels, just as you wouldn’t want to drive your automobile without engine oil. Similarly, you’re certainly aware that weather and debris can harm the exterior of your car over time. Boats follow the same idea. A fiberglass boat with a dirty exterior, will become chalky if it is not washed and waxed on a regular basis.It’s essential you do the needed cleaning.
Apart from showing its beauty, it’s vital to keep the exterior of your boat clean. For starters, keeping your boat clean helps to keep invasive animals at bay. Because you never know what plant or animal might have caught a ride on your boat, it’s critical to clean it every time you remove it from one body of water in order to preserve the next one.
Second, keeping your boat clean keeps the finish intact, which maintains the structure of the boat. Sea salt erodes over time, leaving abrasions and scrapes that can be costly to repair.Proper storage is essential for preventing weather-related damage to your boat, especially during the winter. The goal is to keep ice, snow, and rain out of your boat while allowing airflow to prevent dew from forming. You’ll also want to prepare your boat for weeks of inactivity so that it’s ready to sail again when the time comes.
You don’t have to be a technician to keep your boat’s engine running smoothly. You can keep your engine running for a long time and retain the value of your boat by taking preventive steps. It’s a good idea to check your manufacturer’s guidelines before performing engine maintenance. If something is wrong you have to replace the parts, for this you can buy from boat spare parts australia.
Because salt accelerates corrosion, it’s much more important to stick to a maintenance schedule if you use your boat in saltwater. After exposing your watercraft to seawater, you must perform two important tasks. Do the following as soon as possible after being exposed to saltwater, or at the very least within first day: Clean your boat and flush the engine.
There are some ways how you can maintain your boat in good condition. Everything gets old and has to be replaced when time comes. With proper maintenance it’s possible to use your boat without a problem for a long period of time.

Prague Expels Four Britons In Response to London Move
Published: May 27, 1989
LONDON, May 26— Czechoslovakia expelled three British diplomats and a businessman today in what the Foreign Office called an unjustified retaliation for the recent expulsion of four Czechoslovaks from Britain.
A Foreign Office spokesman said the Czechoslovak authorities told the British Ambassador to Prague, Laurence O'Keefe, that the four Britons must leave in two weeks because of ''unacceptable activities,'' the common diplomatic parlance for spying.
''It's clearly an unjustified action,'' said the Foreign Office spokesman. ''It's clearly in retaliation.''

Will the Neil deGrasse Tyson of Planning Please Stand Up?
“How many well known Urban Planners can you name off the top of your head?” asks Patrick McDonnell.
“I’m an Urban Planner, and I can’t even name five. Not because I don’t know any, because urban planning is about as sexy as fountain maintenance — no offense to fountain maintenance workers.”
Inspired by Amanda Burden’s recent TED talk, as well as Neil deGrasse Tyson’s “Ship of the Imagination” on the television show Cosmos, McDonnell makes an impassioned plea to spice up planning.
It’s not too big a stretch to imagine that people might find planning interesting, says McDonnell: “Urban Planners design cities for a living. We define how land is used. We take massive systems of people and create ways for them to use the city including everything from transportation, to living, to entertainment, to public spaces, to climate change, to food systems and everything that makes cities run. This shit is cool!”


Smart ticketing and fleet management systems using Advantech’s ARK-2250V
All over the world, a rapid change in intelligent transportation continues to take place. Many transportation and fleet companies have found themselves held back by limitations in infrastructure such as on-board payment and surveillance systems. For one bus company running first-class and executive-class busses with an estimated six thousand vehicles, an ambitious expansion plan required a new onboard system which could handle:
- Onboard ticketing
- Intelligent fleet management system to ensure safe and efficient operations
- Anti-vibration and anti-shock
- Wide operating temperatures
- The ability to relay real-time information, such as vehicle location and routes being taken
- The monitoring of vital vehicle information such as fuel levels, engine temperatures, voltages and speed
The customer required a reliable system with product and component longevity support. The environmental regulations for in-vehicle applications are strict, as well as being enabled to use wireless communications such as 3G/LTE and GPS on the move. Their planned vehicle upgrades would enable the operators’ control centre to remain informed of the health of their fleet and enable them to respond to situations that fall outside of set criteria.
The Advantech solution
The ARK-2250V fanless embedded in-vehicle computer was an ideal system to meet the challenges of this project. The ARK-2250V delivers the latest Intel processor computing capability and incorporates designs unique for an in-vehicle environment. It offers ignition power management, 9 ~ 36Vdc wide power input with isolation, EMARK, and IEC 60721 5M3 shock/vibration proof certification. The system also supports up to 4 IP ports for on-board cameras. Additionally, the ARK-2250V supports wireless communication for fleet tracking, supporting GPS, G-sensor, Wi-Fi, and 3G/LTE connectivity.
All Advantech fanless embedded computers are integrated with IoT software applications such as WISE-PaaS/RMM for remote monitoring and management and WISE-PaaS/Security for centralised security management, which protects the system against cyber-attacks and safeguards the system settings and data integrity if unexpected system failures occur. Customers can also choose to use Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services as their cloud service platform, supported by Advantech software products.
Benefits of selecting the ARK-2250V
- High computing power and memory support for fleet tracking and ticketing systems
- On-board GPS/GNSS module for location detection, enabling map-based fleet tracking
- Detects fleet movement and deviations from pre-set criteria, such as erroneous route selections, speeding, idling and delays in schedules
- Preinstalled IoT software platform enables easy and fast connection in fulfilling remote monitoring functions

In Alfonso Cuarón’s Oscar-winning sci-fi blockbuster Gravity, Sandra Bullock’s character makes radio contact with a male voice back on Earth just before the big climax of the film. We see her speaking with the character, who doesn’t speak English, and we hear a dog barking and baby crying.
At the other end of that conversation is a seven-minute live action short that Cuarón’s son Jonás filmed on location in Greenland for $100,000. The story, which parallels Bullock’s character of isolated human survival, stars Greenlander Orto Ignatiussen as an Inuit fisherman stationed with his family and beloved sled dogs on a remote fjord in the vast barren wilderness.
The film, Aningaaq, was also in contention for Best Live Action Short, but unfortunately didn’t make it to the shortlist round of the nomination process. Had it picked up a nomination, it would have been a historic achievement – two separate but linked films both earning Oscar nominations in their respective categories.

Atlanta, which swept the three-game series, has won four in a row and is 19-3 since a 4-8 start. The Rockies have lost four straight and seven of eight.
Russ Ortiz (4-2) took a shutout into the eighth inning of the second game and wound up allowing two runs, four hits and four walks in 7 2/3 innings while striking out six.
Shane Reynolds (2-1) allowed two runs and six hits in 6 1/3 innings to earn the win in the opener.
Giants 3, Marlins 2-- Pinch hitter Rich Aurilia singled home the tiebreaking run with two outs in the ninth inning, and San Francisco got a boost from its bench to beat slumping Florida and complete a three-game sweep at Miami.

Ain't It a Grand and Glorious Feeling:
Celebrating the Princess Musicals
"Grand & Glorious" had its world premiere in Minneapolis in June 2018 at Mojo Coffee Gallery -- a story that takes place in a coffee shop, performed in a coffee shop!
Book by Cindy Polich
Music by Jerome Kern
Lyrics by P.G. Woodhouse, Schuyler Green, John E. Hazard, Elise Janis, Herbert Reynolds, Harry B. Smith, and R.P. Weston
Music Arrangements by Harrison Wade
The reviews are in!
". . . experience this fun, intimate, site-specific, musically delicious little show."
"I dare you to see the show and not be impressed . . . it's important that the music be excellent, and it really, truly is . . . a really witty and contemporary performance that I found just delightful."
~ Compendium Minneapolis
Theatre Elision has taken site specific theater to a whole new level with Grand & Glorious . . . they were able to put their own unique and comedic spin on it."
The seven Princess Musicals were written and produced between 1915 and 1918 specifically for the Princess Theater in New York City. The Princess was a small theatre, requiring simpler, more intimate shows than were common during this "Ziegfeld" era. Not only were the Princess Musicals written specifically for a smaller space, with believable stories that would resonate with the public, the shows were also designed to keep production costs low. They became a turning point in the evolution of musical theatre, not only because of their structure, but also because the music and lyrics were largely written by Jerome Kern and P.G. Wodehouse. There was much more to the Princess Musicals, however, than low-budget shows in a small setting. The stories were simple and real. They were comedies, but the humor came from real-world situations. Because they couldn't afford big stars or high production values, the shows relied on good story-telling and great music. This original musical, featuring the music of Jerome Kern and his Princess Musicals collaborators, tells a story in much the same style, but with a modern twist. The songs may not exactly fit the sensibilities of today's young men and women, but the sentiments are timeless. Surprisingly, we find that the age-old story of romance, love, and marriage hasn’t changed much in 100 years!
Enjoy some highlights from our 2018 show!
Of course the best place to experience this is in a coffee shop
enjoying some fabulous apple pie and coffee!

So, I decided a Halloween birthday was appropriate for a dog with vampire teeth, and I guess that makes him about 8 years old now. My little fellow is getting old. And truth be told - he rescued me. Happy Birthday, World's Sweetest and Most Adorable Dog.

Wedding Crashers (2005)
Critic Consensus: Wedding Crashers is both raunchy and sweet, and features top-notch comic performances from Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.
Two guys find out the hard way that sneaking into the wrong party can cause serious problems in this comedy. Jeremy Klein (Vince Vaughn) and John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) are a pair of longtime friends who work for a law firm, helping contentious couples mediate their divorces. Their job has given them a cynical attitude about marriage, and as a hobby each weekend the two make a point of crashing weddings reception, where they load up on free food and booze and try their luck at seducing the bridesmaids. When William Cleary (Christopher Walken), the nation's Secretary of the Treasury and a possible candidate for the Presidency, announces his daughter is to wed, the nuptials are billed as the social event of the year, and Jeremy and John decide they must attend the reception. However, John makes the mistake of falling head over heels for Claire (Rachel McAdams), the bride's sister, while Jeremy attracts the attentions of a woman he'd prefer not to be involved with, and soon their romantic peccadilloes get them in very hot water. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi … More

Critic Reviews for Wedding Crashers
Sadly, in spite of its cast and seemingly can't-miss premise, Wedding Crashers is at its best a succession of mild chuckles.
The Frat Pack goes from strength to strength in a robust romp that's only marred by the director's apparent inability to say "Cut!"
Audience Reviews for Wedding Crashers
I put this one off for a while but wish i hadnt. I had a lot of fun watching this one. A good funny movies that made me laugh and smile tons.
One of the least funny things my brain has had to suffer through.
Plumbing new depths in vulgarity and tastelessness, "Wedding Crashers" is a tiresome compilation of recent American guy-girl movie clichés. The acting is poor and the script worse, making the cinema seat harder as each long minute goes by. Of course the audience lapped it all up, guffawing at each sophomoric gag. How depressing to see that this awful movie is #1 at the box office. Good cinematography doesn't rescue it. We squirm seeing Christopher Walken and Jane Seymour repeatedly embarrassing themselves. We yawn at Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson lurching from unbelievable "I love ya Buddy" male bonding to predatory joint hunting of generic society chicks. Compared with the finer acting and script of now-running "Must Love Dogs", the winner of the toilet humor, bad language, degrade women and insult gays genre is undoubtedly "Wedding Crashers". Insatiable public appetite for this rubbish will ensure that we soon might see even worse movies, if that is possible. 2 1/2 stars 8-14-07

By ALEXANDER LEWIS
City of Sydney’s chief executive Monica Barone could remain in her role for years after a new council is elected in 2016.
Lord Mayor Clover Moore urged councillors to endorse the renewal of Ms Barone’s contract for a further five years in a mayoral minute distributed just moments before tonight’s council meeting.
Liberal Councillor Edward Mandla sought to amend the proposed resolution so Ms Barone’s contract was only extended to six months after the council election next September.
But his amendment was voted down and the extension endorsed in a confidential debate at the end of the meeting, meaning ratepayers could be forced to cough up a hefty severance bill should the new council want a different CEO.
“Shortly we face a new voting franchise; things may well look very different in this Chamber,” Clr Mandla said.
“There is no reason to burden taxpayers with severance costs should the next chamber have other views in respect of who holds this important position. We would not like having it done to us if the previous council was vastly different to this one.
“And if it’s good enough for more junior staff, such as every Councillor Support Officer having a contract that expires one month after the election, then its good enough for the CEO I am sure.”
He said Clr Moore’s use of her mayoral minute to extend the contract was scandalous.
“The delegation requires the CEO to be appointed in consultation with councillors. I would not consider verbal notice fifteen minutes before a council meeting on a Lord Mayoral Minute as meeting that requirement,” he said.
“Regrettably, the CEO and Lord Mayor are viewed as birds of feather. [They] are both joined at the hip. It’s a bad look and seems opportunistic. It’s certainly not a model of good governance.”
In guidelines published by the Office of Local Government in 2009, it is stated that “mayoral minutes should not be used to introduce, without notice, matters that are routine, not urgent, or need research or a lot of consideration by the councillors before coming to a decision.”
“These types of matters would be better placed on the agenda, with the usual period of notice being given to the councillors,” the document read.
Ms Barone was appointed as the City’s CEO more than nine years ago. Her contract, which was extended for five years in 2011, was due to run out in April 2016.
Clr Moore said as per the contract, Ms Barone had advised nine months prior to its termination that she wished to remain in the role and that the council was required to advise the CEO at least 6 months before the termination date if it intended to renew it.
“In April 2011, the council considered my Lord Mayoral Minute on appointment of the CEO and unanimously resolved to proceed with a contract renewal for a further five years,” Clr Moore said.
“Each year, in accordance with the Local Government Guidelines, the CEO has submitted a performance report that I have reviewed. As part of this, I ask all councillors if they have any matters that they wish to be considered.”
“Each year it was agreed that the CEO’s performance was outstanding.”
Ms Barone is paid approximately $400,000 a year by the City of Sydney.

I'm still painting my the bulk of my air fleet and i wont begin in earnest a new project till thats done, how ever ive gotten some of the ground work done.
the above shot is some of the paper mock ups as well as my early attempt to start the gunship.
The paper cut out is to be used as a size reverence.
the above pictures are the mockup to show size im working towards.
the lower picture is my first and not completely successful attempt to make a resign cast of the manta, it may be flawed but it will serve as parts for the gunship. I drew the lines where I will cut the wings off the central body.
the lower hull and where I want to cut it, I don't want to use the bulk of the lower hull, I will use a partial section of the Pirhana's front nose.
the lower pic is a full look at the underside. the tape over one of the railgun details is there to protect the detail when I use the dremmel to cut the wings off.
The above 2 pics are all the mantas Ive produced to date, included is the original that I made the mold of. I started my casting program to save some money and to field large force of standard and exotic war engines and gear.
second picture is one of my home made mantas in its base paint, all the burst, ion and rail cannons were also produced at home. the tiger shark a-01 is also a home made craft.
I will be working on the epic scale to see if the model will work, if it does I may make a 40k scale version. or just a shadow sized cut out on a stand to go with the epic version for 40k games, this way I can have the model and keep its foot print as well as my money and sanity.


New iOS malware strain steals 225,000 Apple logons
‘KeyRaider’ responsible for ‘largest known Apple account theft caused by malware’, say researchers
Some 225,000 stolen Apple accounts credentials are being used to bypass payment walls on the App Store and inside third-party iOS apps, according to Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 threat assessment division.
The credentials were found on a server by amateur Chinese tech team WeipTech, Unit 42 said in a blog post yesterday. Palo Alto's team began its own investigation, in co-operation with WeipTech.
"We believe this to be the largest known Apple account theft caused by malware," Unit 42 said.
The strain of malicious code responsible for stealing the credentials has been named "KeyRaider" by Palo Alto's researchers and the team said it had found 92 samples in the wild, all on jailbroken devices.
Most of the victims are based in China, with around half using email addresses provided by Tencent. But the iOS malware also affected users in France, Russia, Japan, the UK, the US, Canada, Germany, Australia, Italy, Spain, Singapore, and South Korea.
"KeyRaider targets jailbroken iOS devices and is distributed through third-party Cydia repositories in China," Unit 42 reported. "In total, it appears this threat may have impacted users from 18 countries."
