We are obviously all still in our 20s. Over 30? ha ha as if, I'm still young, fun, and down with the kids
Liverandbacon posted a topic in Ahto Spaceport Cantina
Just realized it's been a bit over 10 years since I joined this place, shortly after the release of KOTOR 2. Doesn't seem long ago at all that KOTOR Tool was still being updated, TSLPatcher wasn't a thing yet, and the forums were incredibly active. My posting career has been very hit-and-run, popping in then disappearing for a year or two, then popping in again, and it's been interesting to see which names are still around every time I come back, who has disappeared, and what new people have shown up. Less people I remember each time, though from their 'last visited' it looks like some are at least lurking. With the slow death of LucasArts, these forums haven't been what they once were over the last 3 years or so, but here's hoping Disney does the smart thing, hands out the license to decent devs (hoping DICE Battlefront is a sign of things to come, another Obsidian-developed Star Wars RPG please thank you), and gives us something to talk about again. Then us old folks can sit around telling all the new guys 'back in OUR day, all the Star Wars games came from a hilariously mismanaged company called LucasArts, and by some miracle some managed to be good'. To celebrate 10 years of off-and-on posting, and to thank people who'd helped me out near the start, I'd planned to finally release the silly (but fun?) KOTOR mod I made as practice years ago (turned the Taris duelling ring into a Monkey Island swordfight-style insult competition), but can't seem to find it in my backups. I'll keep looking though.

Moving Beyond Existing EU, Lucasfilm Announces New Direction For Star Wars Canon
Liverandbacon replied to deathdisco's topic in Ahto Spaceport Cantina
Honestly I can't blame them, trying to continue the series in any meaningful way within the constraints of the massive unwieldy EU of wildly varying quality would have been insanity. The EU stuff that I actually like, I like whether it's canon or not. Now I suppose we just have a Star Wars multiverse just like the sorta thing Marvel does. No big deal. Then again, I'm the guy who, if I'd bought Star Wars, would probably end up purging everything but ANH, ESB, and certain parts of ROTJ from canon. I'm just that XTREME and edgy I guess.
Liverandbacon replied to Jae Onasi's topic in Ahto Spaceport Cantina
I know this is months old at this point, but it's new to me since I've just logged on for the first time in a long while, so I hope nobody minds this late post. I've popped in and out of this place over the last 9 years, and it's been oddly comforting to see a few familiar names still around every time. Astrotoy was one of them. Always being around for a few posts, then gone for months or even years (for similar reasons to the ones D333 mentions here), I doubt I made much of an impression on him (or anyone for that matter) during his time here, but he certainly made one on me. He got me into folding, though life made it impossible to keep that up for long, and I enjoyed more than a few memorable conversations on art, among other topics. His enthusiasm for the subject was both impressive and infectious, and perhaps by virtue of my absence, I mostly missed the more controversial side of him. RIP Hasan/Astro, and my sympathies to his family.
A LucasArts Post-mortem
Liverandbacon replied to Miltiades's topic in The Outlander Club
Sometimes I think my bitterness over Lucasarts, their mismanagement, and all the games I wanted that went unrealized, makes the old-school Fallout community look positively optimistic by comparison. Yes I'm talking about the people regularly called 'glittering gems of hatred'. I'm very bitter.

That cliffhanger, my god. Entire episode was the prey mistaking itself for the predator. Walt though he was hunting Jesse, then fell into his + DEA bro-team's trap. Hank thought he'd caught his white whale, then is outnumbered and outgunned. Walt thought he was top dog, but now it seems likely that he'll be forced to work for the Neo-nazis, as a subordinate (especially if Todd dies). The thing is, Walt just doesn't have what it takes to be a Gus. He treats EVERYONE, even the people he cares about, as tools, and in such an obvious way that they can tell. That doesn't inspire the sort of loyalty Mike had for Gus. In the end, he's just a guy who's good at chemistry, not a leader, and it'd be impossible for him to hold onto the top dog position for long.

Disney buys Lucasfilm for $4b, Episode VII due Dec. 18 2015 *Cast Announced 29/04/14*
Liverandbacon replied to Astor's topic in Ahto Spaceport Cantina
Nothing bad happened to Marvel after Disney took over, quite the opposite in fact. And unlike Lucas-controlled Lucasfilm, Marvel still had some redeeming features beforehand. It might not improve, but it certainly won't sink lower, since you can't when you're already at rock bottom. Edit: On a side note, I take great comfort in the fact that whenever I take a long hiatus, even if it's for years as it has been in the past, many of the same faces are still around here.

Liverandbacon replied to leXX's topic in The Outlander Club
Playing as a Sentinel for my first playthrough, this game felt outrageously easy, even playing on Insanity. If I brought Liara along, and didn't bring more than a sniper and a pistol, I could use biotic combos often enough that I almost never even used my guns until Rannoch. Most of the few times I died were from the consolitis 1-button spacebar everything system not letting me disengage from cover properly when a grenade showed up. Other than that, I only died 6 times: Other than those instances, it was pretty easy to avoid death with proper use of cover, biotic combo spam, and occasionally hanging back and letting the enemies come to you. No phantom has even touched Shepard. Atlas mechs are easy if you take out their engineers, then biotic combo spam like everything else. A lot of people have issues at the Academy, but the strategy I used made it a joke. This is strange to me, as I'm normally not too good at vidya game shooters.
NOTE: This post does not reveal hat Tali's face looks like, but it does contain my opinion on the work Bioware put into it. Don't know if that counts as spoilers, but you've been warned. Oh it's real. They claimed that they really thought hard about Tali's face, but what they did makes that pretty obviously false. As a fun test, I started from the same photo they did, and tried to reproduce their Tali face using Photoshop. It took me 6.5 minutes, and I reproduced it almost exactly. If it were a background character, it wouldn't be an issue, but considering so many people are so excited about Tali's face (see ChAiNz), it's pretty shameful that they put so little thought and effort into it. If I were a fan of Tali, I'd be annoyed. As things are, I just find it amusing and a little depressing due to what it shows Bioware prioritizes (like, as I mentioned earlier, putting some Z-list celebrity like Chobot in-game for pretty much no reason).
Assassin's Creed 3
Liverandbacon replied to Taak Farst's topic in The Outlander Club
I would have preferred the French Revolution, a lot more intrigue and plotting going on there. It's pretty stupid that the protagonist is half English half Native American, yet is killing redcoats. Realistically he'd almost definitely be firmly on the side of the English, considering they at least semi-respected the agreements made with Native American tribes, while the colonists wanted unchecked expansion into native lands. It would even work better from an AC story perspective, what with so many founding fathers being freemasons and stuff like that. But no, it has to be FREEDOM AMERICA JUSTICE LIBERTY! Kill those evil Englishmen! I mean, I love my country enough to risk my life for it, but an important part of true patriotism is having a realistic view of both the good and bad aspects of your country, not some BS propagandist fantasy. The Revolutionary War had a bit to do with liberty, but much more to do with money, land, and other economic interests, like any other war. If they'd only done the French Revolution, they could have avoided this stupidity.
She's also a rather lazily photoshopped royalty-free stock photo... Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) I think I vaguely remember a dev claiming they'd been having a bunch of serious discussions about how to design her face. Clearly they were focusing on more important things, like putting the ever useless Jessica Chobot in the game. :lol:

Joe Paterno, 85, dies in State College PA
Liverandbacon replied to Darth_Calo's topic in Ahto Spaceport Cantina
Yeah, I'm actually with mim regarding McQueary. He's one of the few involved I believe to be only a coward, not a bad person. While I wouldn't call a 27 year old a kid, he was far below everyone else involved on the power ladder. He reported it to the people with the power to stop things, and even when it became clear that the right thing hadn't been done, there wasn't much he could do about it (Unlike Paterno, who had enough reputation to really make a difference if he had chosen to). Even if he had gone public, it would be his word against that of people with far greater reputations. He could easily have been ruined. The only way he could guarantee an end to the abuse would be if he had killed Sandusky, which would effectively end his own life, since murder sentences are long, and getting a job isn't going to be easy with a serious criminal record. Yes, he put self preservation ahead of the welfare of children. Yes, that is not a brave thing to do. No, it is not evil. Few people are really willing to risk their entire future for the sake of others. Focusing anger on McQueary, instead of the people who could have definitely made a difference at no risk to themselves, is an awful thing to do. Few of the people attacking him have ever risked everything they hold dear for the sake of strangers, which makes them rather hypocritical.
I'm really sorry Darth Calo, I know this isn't Kavar's, but this discussion is inevitable, since i He reported it to the athletic director, and the senior VP for finance and business (who apparently had some oversight over the campus police). The only action they took was to forbid Sandusky from bringing children from the Second Mile charity to the football building. In other words "do what you want with the kids, just don't do it in our building". When these were the only consequences, the right thing to do would be to report it to someone without an interest in avoiding scandal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't get me wrong, I think Paterno was a genuinely bad person, but he's nowhere near the worst of the people involved. His death makes me think nothing of value was lost, but I'm not actively happy about it. The athletic director and senior VP, who pretty much gave Sandusky permission to rape kids anywhere but on their property, are significantly worse. They are legitimately evil people, and I would love to read their obituaries. This isn't vindictiveness, hate, or rage, whether you consider those concepts immature or not. I just happen to take happiness from any improvement of the world, and less evil people is a net improvement to the world, by my (completely subjective, as any ethical ideas are) standards of moral mathematics.

Q: How can I get an XElement's .InnerText value in Linq to XML? I'm trying to extract the polygons from placemarks in a KML file. So far so good:
Imports <xmlns:g='http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0'>
Imports System.Xml.Linq

Partial Class Test_ImportPolygons
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Dim Kml As XDocument = XDocument.Load(Server.MapPath("../kmlimport/ga.kml"))
        For Each Placemark As XElement In Kml.<g:Document>.<g:Folder>.<g:Placemark>
            Dim Name As String = Placemark.<g:name>.Value
            ...
        Next
    End Sub

End Class

I'd like to capture the entire <polygon>...</polygon> block as a string. I tried something like this (where the ... is above):
        Dim Polygon as String = Placemark.<g:Polygon>.InnerText

but the XElement object doesn't have an InnerText property, or any equivalent as far as I can tell. How do I grab the raw XML that defines an XElement?

A: Have you tried:
Placemark.ToString()

A: What I was missing was that Placemark.<g:Polygon> is a collection of XElements, not a single XElement. This works:
    For Each Placemark As XElement In Kml.<g:Document>.<g:Folder>.<g:Placemark>
        Dim Name As String = Placemark.<g:name>.Value
        Dim PolygonsXml As String = ""
        For Each Polygon As XElement In Placemark.<g:Polygon>
            PolygonsXml &= Polygon.ToString
        Next
    Next

XElement.ToString is the equivalent of InnerText, as tbrownell suggested.

A: I missed the Enumeration also. When using .Value it is possible to receive a null exception. Try the equivelent of this instead:
(string)Placemark.<g:name>

Sorry not sure of the VB syntax,,,it has been a while since I have coded in VB.

Fishing 411 television host, seminar leader, walleye fishing expert and the author of the acclaimed Precision Trolling depth guides will be on-hand throughout the Show. The Great Lakes are home to a host of outstanding walleye fishing destinations. Saginaw Bay, Lake Erie, Little Bay de Noc and other big water fisheries harbor amazing numbers of walleye. Catching the fish requires some specialized trolling presentations including the use of diving planers, crank baits, spoons and spinners. This informative multi-media seminar is a must-see presentation for anyone who wants to learn more about targeting walleye in open water.
There is no denying walleye are finicky fish and fishing pro Mark Martin is no stranger to teaching others on how to catch them. Martin has been giving seminars on the subject since his first tournament win in 1991, during the first-ever Professional Walleye Trail Championship, which coined him the title "The Original Champ." A life-long resident of Michigan, Martin is currently an instructor with the Fishing Vacation / Schools as well as a tournament pro with Anglers Insight Marketing. Not to be missed, Martin will be giving seminars on catching walleye using modern-day, open-water techniques and giving up his secrets to catching these most fickle of fish through the ice.
Capt. Jake Romanack
Jake is both one of the youngest and most experienced charter captains on the Great Lakes. The son of outdoor writer and TV host Mark Romanack, Jake has been fishing since he was old enough to hold up a rod/reel combo. He spent three years acting as a first mate on a dozen different charter boats before he stepped up and got his own captains license. These days Jake specializes in educational charters, seminars, YouTube videos and co-hosting TV productions as part of the family buisness Fishing 411 Productions.
Capt. Wayne Carpenter
Capt. Wayne has dedicated fifteen years of effort to bringing in fishing information and bait technology to anglers. The research done over that period resulted in the development of the Combat Fishing Weekly Newsletter, No Secrets on Lake St. Clair volumes 1 and 2 books, No Secrets On Lake St. Clair DVD, Marked Map Series 1 and 2, and multiple websites. Wayne has also developed a full line of tournament quality baits by Xtreme Bass Tackle. He has been recognized as the foremost bass fishing expert on Lake St. Clair through his participation in Michigan's major fishing shows, TV and radio appearances and nationally known product development.
Tom Richardson
Tom has successfully called in and killed big bucks for 40 years. His secret is learning their unique language, not only vocalizations and what they mean, but scent and sight communication as well. In his seminar Tom will cover basic calling and blending in with natural surroundings, only with a twist, hunting the rut through the eyes of a doe. Not only will you learn how to successfully "talk" to and call deer, but you will also learn to call in a deer with a squirrel call, turkey call and with nothing more than a handful of stones. His unique, proven techniques and old-school ways of bagging game, combined with his sense of humor will make for a very enjoyable learning experience for both new hunters and veterans alike.
Tony LaPratt
Tony has hunted and harvested 42 Trophy Class Whitetails consistently for 26 years, by utilizing his "Unique Hunting and Ultimate Land Technology." Tony has created over 1,000 land management properties ranging from 5 acres to 6,000 acres in 25 states, which adds up to over 300,000 acres. His seminars are a must-see for any serious whitetail hunter.
Capt. Joel Piatek
A Lund and Mercury pro staffer, Joel has grown up on Lake St. Clair and has spent over 35 years fishing and hunting this world class lake system. From fishing to waterfowl hunting, he has dedicated a tremendous amount of time to fully understand the Lake St. Clair fishery as well as the waterfowl migration patterns. His passion for the outdoors has led him to operate Fish Headz Outfitter, a full-time charter fishing and waterfowl hunting operation on Lake St. Clair. Capt. Joel fully understands seasonal patterns of all fish species and knows what the hot bite is and where to find it. He will be presenting seminars on catching multi gamefish species of Lake St. Clair and waterfowl hunting best practices.
Tim Andrus
Hunting whitetails is Tim's true passion and he will travel anywhere to pursue them. To date he has had the opportunity to hunt them in 20 states and 5 Canadian provinces. What started as a hobby has turned into a part time job! Tim was placed on Realtree's Pro Staff in 1996 and hasn't looked back since. He has turned his passion into a profession and his pro staff positions have allowed him to grow within the outdoor industry, exceeding his greatest expectations with companies such as Scent Lok, Ameristep Tree Stands and Muzzy Broadhead's. Tim has filmed many hunts and has had many appearances on various TV shows including Realtree Road Trips, Deer City USA, Outdoor America, Gene Pearcy's On The Right Track, and currently hosts Rush Outdoors TV.

The First Kenzo x H&M Campaign Is HERE
Story from Fashion
The First Look At This Highly Anticipated H&M Collab Is HERE
Ana Colon
H&M has been keeping a tight lid on what its annual designer collaboration, which drops in a little over a month, actually looks like. We've gotten a few sneak peeks here and there of this year's collection, Kenzo-by-way-of-H&M, leading up to the November 3 launch. The most recent update? The fast-fashion retailer revealed that Jean-Paul Goude (who also shot Kim Kardashian's #BreakTheInternet Paper cover) was serving as the creative director for the collaboration's yet-to-be-revealed campaign. H&M reignited the fervor by teasing some of its high-profile campaign stars, such as fashion legend Iman, Vietnamese rapper Suboi, and Chance the Rapper, among others. Today the debut ad spot for Kenzo x H&M drops — and Refinery29 got an exclusive first look at the collaged campaign.
Photo: Courtesy of H&M.
The first images feature Iman and Suboi, shot in motion, wearing the collab's brightly patterned duds. The ad mimics the effect of physical photographs being cut apart and then getting pieced together with tape. Leon and Lim have long been fans of Goude's work, so it makes sense that we're seeing one of the photographer's signatures factor into the collaboration. "Everything that I do starts with a drawing," the artist said of the spread's sketched nature. "I've always been fascinated by human proportions, especially women's. Fashion artists have always outrageously exaggerated the silhouette of their models. I used to do it when I was an illustrator a long time ago; now I do it with photographs." He began cutting up transparencies without a specific visual goal in mind — and even though he says, "It felt like I was committing a sacrilege," it allowed him to see his own photographic interpretation of a fashion drawing. "It became my way of doing things: drawing with photographs in a rough, spontaneous way; an alternative to the earnestness of commercial fashion photography in general."
The ad aesthetic for these high-profile H&M collabs can vary a lot from designer to designer. Whereas Olivier Rousteing recruited his loyal Balmain Army to rep last year's pair-up, Kenzo and H&M wanted their campaign stars to be bold. "We wanted to feature talents whose personal style is more than just their looks, who stand for something and have a message and come from different places from all over the world," Ann-Sofie Johansson, H&M's head of design, told Refinery29.
Kenzo x H&M is about celebrating fashion for everyone, Johansson explained; it's "a collaboration that speaks to the whole world." So when it came time to suss out the talent that would represent the collection, they zeroed in on people "who have something interesting to say and who have strong personal style." Diversity was a big consideration for the retailer (as it has been in past marketing efforts). So Johansson hopes that the inaugural campaign's casting — paired with the dynamic visuals and, most importantly, the actual clothes — channels the energy of this partnership in "all of its creativity, fun, and love of fashion." We'll have to wait until October 17 for the rest of the ad spots to drop, but from what we've seen so far, it looks like that mission was accomplished.

Q: How can I change the value of a column based of the vales of two other columns in the table? I have a table Loan, containing, along other columns, the LoanDate, ReturnDate and Expired. The first two are datetime, whereas the latter is a bit.
What should I do if, the getutcdate() is over the ReturnDate value, the Expired column updates itself automatically to 1?

A: If I understand correctly you want the Expired column became automatically 1 when current date is over ReturnDate.
In that case you can use a computed column for Expired:
create table Loan (
  LoanDate datetime null,
  ReturnDate datetime null,
  Expired as cast(case when getutcdate()>ReturnDate then 1 else 0 end as bit)
)

This works fine for simple computations that use data from the same row like this one.
Note that computed columns are 'read only', you omit then from INSERT and UPDATE statements:
insert into Loan (LoanDate, ReturnDate) values
  ('20010101','20011231'),
  ('20210101','20211231')

Home News Zoning changes planned for apartment location
Zoning changes planned for apartment location
The proposed location for the Champion apartment complex has plans for rezoning.
Members of the Plain City Planning and Zoning board voted to split the 11 acres of land behind the Shell station and Civista Bank at Wednesday night's meeting. The lot is currently zoned for commercial use and with the vote and recommendation from the board, the change will make one parcel of 8.8 acres to residential which would be used for the apartments.
Splitting the 8 acres for residential would also leave the 3-acre parcel facing U.S. Route 42 as commercial.
"All we're really doing is going through this process so that the lot split matches the proposed zoning," said Glen Dugger, an attorney representing Champion.
Board members did request that the recommendation go to council with a condition that the split not happened until the zoning is approved.
The action is one in a series of steps to get the complex built. After voting on the lot split, the information will go to council for approval.
Another important step in the process is getting the landscape and architectural designs in place which will be presented to both the Planning and Zoning commission and residents.
At the June 7 meeting of the Board of Zoning Appeals, several residents attended to voice their concerns about changes that the complex would bring. Many villagers who live on Perry Pike, just south of the proposed property, had concerns about the changes in traffic patterns and in the visuals with the new addition of a series of two-story buildings.
Village solicitor, Paul-Michael La Fayette, reminded residents that those were concerns better expressed to Planning and Zoning — concerns that would eventually be addressed, according to Tom Warner, the engineer representing Champion.
"We're prepared to bring in a traffic engineer because we were hearing some of the concerns of the neighbors," Warner said. "We want to listen and do our part to put together a design that meets our needs and theirs."
Through the zoning approval process, the changes will have to go through three readings during the council meetings in July and during those readings, there will be a public hearing to discuss changes.
Planning and Zoning meetings are on the third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. and village council meetings are held on the second and fourth Monday of the month at 7 p.m.

Julian Assange Girlfriend, Wife, Bio
Julian Assange's bio reveals that he was born on 3 July...parents Christine and John...Ecuadorian-Australian by nationality...completed his high school from...Julian, age 47, has amassed a net worth of...married a woman named Teresa in...separated with wife in...started dating Pamela Anderson...with his girlfriend...has atleast four love children...
Australian computer programmer Julian Paul Assange is most famous for being the editor chief of WikiLeaks, a website that releases information that often exposes classified and private information about governments and politicians. He is also well -known for his public appearances in many parts of the world.
He began his career as a hacker and started hacking under the name, "Mendax." He alongside two others, "Trax" and "Prime Suspect" formed the hacking group, Internationa Subversives. Julian was also suspected of being involved with the WANK (Worms Against Nuclear Killers), but he did not acknowledge this.
Later, he was caught hacking into the Melbourn master terminal of Nortel, and he was charged in 1994 with thirty-one counts of hacking and related crimes. He was released on a good behavior bond under the fund of A$2,100.
Years later, Julian established WikiLeaks, where he published secret information, news leaks, and classified media from anonymous sources.
During his career, Julian received many awards and nominations, including the 2009 Amnesty International Media Award and Reader's Choice for TIME Magazine's 2010 Person of the year.
On 11 April 2019, Julian got arrested in London to face a charge in the United States of conspiring hack into Pentagon computer network in 2010. The Ecuadorean government suspended his citizenship which cleared the way for his arrest. He was dragged out of the embassy and was initially arrested for failing to surrender to the court after losing an appeal against extradition to Sweden when he faced two different sexual assault allegations.
Upon hearing, the court found him guilty of failing to surrender to the court.
Now, he is facing US federal conspiracy charges related to one of the most significant leaks of government secrets. However, the UK will decide whether to extradite Julian or not. As of now, he faces up to five years of US prison if convicted on the charges of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion.
Throughout his career, Julian has amassed a net worth of $400K.
Dating Girlfriend Or Married To Wife?
During his teenage years, Julian was involved with a woman named Teresa. However, whether he was married to her or not is not certain as some sources claim him to be married while others mention that it was only an affair. The couple welcomed their baby boy Daniel when Teresa was just 17 years of age.
Don't Miss: Sandi Graham Wiki, Age, Net Worth, Husband
His relationship suffered a shattering blow after he was raided by the police. He was charged with some offenses related to computer hacking and Teresa, on the other hand, fled with the baby. After the separation with Teresa, the pair embarked on a nine-year custody battle over their son Daniel until 1999.
Eventually, the legal battle on Daniel was settled under the mother's responsibility. Moreover, Julian's son Daniel, who works for a software design company has been hiding in Australia.
Other than Daniel, Julian also has atleast four love children, and his youngest is said to be seven years of age. However, like his mystery children, his girlfriend or possible wife remains a mystery.

There were also rumors about him being romantically involved with the former Baywatch star, Pamela Anderson. Nevertheless, during an interview with Pagesix, Pamela said that Julian was just a friend and nothing more than that.
Julian Assange Biography, Nationality
Julian Assange's bio reveals that he was born on 3 July 1971 to parents Christine Ann Hawkins, a visual artist, and John Shipton, an anti-war activist and builder.
However, his parents were separated before his birth, and his mother married Richard Brett Assange, an actor when Julian was one year of age. He is Ecuadorian-Australian by nationality while his ethnicity is not known.

Eventually, his mother divorced with Richard in 1979 and got involved with Leif Meynell, a member of Australian cult; she also shares a son with him. Sadly, the couple broke up, and she settled with her family in Melbourne, Victoria.
Julian, age 47, had attended over more than thirty high schools just within the age of fourteen. Later, he studied Programming, Mathematics, and Physics at Central Queensland University and the University of Melbourne, but did not receive his high school degree.

Fergie's new song

I found this link on Janet Xone messageboard. This is a preview of what's to come for Fergie's album:
www.perezhilton.com/topics/fergie/listen_to_this_fergie_is_hot_20060630.php
I'll wait to post my response.
I heard the song, (thanks to Jason, Fergie's biggest fan ever) and I suppose it will have to grow on me because I didn't dig it at all. I thought she said her album was going to be personal. I took that as meaning more ballad driven. I hope there are ballads on her album because I love it when she's singing from the soul, loud and clear. Her voice has the ability to send chills down your spine If she allows it to.

I'm not feeling the song. I hope to purple rainbows that it's only a leak and not the first single (although it will do well on Hip Hop and Top 40 stations). I always imagined her solo album would have a feel of "Fly Away" and "Won't Let You Fall."
"Third Eye," "Fly Away," "Feel It," and "Won't Let You Fall" are her best "chills" worthy songs
I've just come to the conclusion of why I don't care for the song. It reminds me too much of "Hollaback Girl" and I couldn't (and still can't) stand that song. Just a thought.

To add to your list of chills-down-the-spine songs performed by Stacy, "I Won't Play The Fool", is Stacy at her very best. Her vocals on that song is absolutely amazing.

^Yes, I agree "I Won't Play the Fool" is a spine-chiller also.
Here's Billboard's review of "London Bridge:"
London Bridge (Oh Shh)
Producer(s): Polow Da Don for Zone 4 Inc.
Label: A&M/Interscope
Stacy Ferguson, aka Fergie, steps out from the Black Eyed Peas to deliver an annoying "My Humps" sound-alike. The track from her debut album, "The Duchess," follows the current trend of overproduction, but what worked for Gwen Stefani in "Hollaback Girl" and Nelly Furtado in "Promiscuous" fails here. Funky horns, sirens and other distractions cannot save what amounts to a flaccid performance of inane lyrics. Having debuted at No. 40 at mainstream top 40, earning Greatest Gainer and Most Airplay Adds honors, we are sure "London Bridge" will be a hit; we're not as sure it's any good. —Kristina Tunzi
I feared that she would quickly be compared to Gwen and Nelly.

While I'm not sure it's the strongest choice for a lead single, I like it okay. It reminds me a lot more of "Tipsy" by J-Kwon than "Hollerback Girl". I like both songs, so that doesn't really bother me.
I'm not really prepared to write off the whole album based on this track. Stacy has said before that she's waited her whole life to record her solo album. Somehow I don't think she's been dreaming since childhood about someday unleashing "London Bridges" on the world. I'm of the 'wait and see' mind-set.
Oh and I HATE the title. "The Duchess"?! Why not just call it "I'm a novelty act"? Not the best way to be taken seriously on your 1st solo outing IMHO.
If everything seems to be going your way, you're probably driving in the wrong lane.

I don't like the title either. I haven't totally written off the whole album. I just hope that the rest of the songs on the album really showcase her beautiful voice.

^^You have to admit the title is a step up from "Fergielicious."
I'm hoping and praying that the rest of the CD is better and "London Bridge" is just a filler.
The Duchess is actually more cheesy and pathetic, than horrible. It makes me cringe.


on one of my sites i needed this, maybe it is usefull for someone.
So i needed to select some users from my registered users who can upload in the galleries (i didn't want to set them as special users (author, publisher, ect.)), so i have to select them from the registered users manually.
here you can set the registered user's ID, change 590 and 75 to your needs.
in $alloweduser_id1 and $alloweduser_id2 you can add the registered user's user ID. If you want more than 2 useres you can add more $alloweduser_id, but don't forget to add it to the globals too in function "Joom_GalleryHeader" mentioned above.
"Display for selected registered users :)"
save the settings and test it!
I have problem with Pony Gallery ML,when I active userpanel for SM(Special Members) ,Register members when login into the site and write direct link of user panel they can view and use upload setting and userpanel menu .
I want only Special Members use the userpanel!!!!

I hired Northwest Web Construction Company to build my business web site. I expected Kelly and Anne to treat me honestly and fairly, to create a web site that was professional looking and easy to navigate and to do it for a fair price. What I didn't expect was their desire to go beyond just building the site and walk along side as partners in growing a successful business. This is rare these days and I will recommend NWWCC to anyone looking to start or re-do a web site.
Kelly is outstanding as our web designer. He's creative, can adapt quickly to changes that we request and does this at a very reasonable price. Kelly's design work has qualified us to be one of the top ranked websites of the HVAC Industry in the country. I find him very dependable and I'm constantly impressed by his knowledge in this field.
I have both seen & experienced Kelly deliver what he promises on time & on budget. His work ethic is way above average & I am certainly glad to have worked with him on more than one project.
I have worked closely with Kelly Burbank in a number of capacities over the past several years. Primarily we have worked together on several large federal grant programs and other community service projects (including with my own company). Kelly's knowledge and expertise regarding all things to do with computers, the internet, social media, and promotional endeavors is extremely competent and professional. But even more impressive is his attitude. I have never seen Kelly, whether in a professional or a volunteer role, where he wasn't conscientious, friendly, and working hard without needing to be directed. His attitude is always positive and from my experience his integrity is beyond reproach. I recommend Kelly wholeheartedly without reservation for any project you need finished quickly and competently.
Kelly is a top-notch professional and very creative designer. He listens to what your needs are and then comes up with a product that far exceeds your expectations! I would recommend Kelly and NWWCC without hesitation.
I have gotten to know Kelly and Anne Burbank of Northwest Web Construction Company because they are fellow members of the Christian Chamber of Commerce of the Northwest.
I can affirm that they do excellent, impressive work. I have seen what they have done not only for the Christian Chamber, but also for a number of other clients. Their design work is top-notch and I also have heard from a number of their clients that their service attitude is excellent.
Kelly has been an extremely valuable asset to the Christian Chamber of Commerce for years. He has created a great website for us, kept us up to date on changes, integrated other tools and been easy to reach and work with on any changes.
Kelly has done wonders with helping to bring our website into the new generation. I love that he takes the time to help me understand what we need to do to make our website a success and works within our budget to help maximize our potential. We are so glad to have found Kelly and his company and are looking forward to a continued business relationship.
I was searching for a really good web designer with connections to a really good web programmer for a very complex web project I wanted done. Kelly did research about my concept that was not asked of him, he just took a proactive approach and did it. This comes from a part of his character that I have come to respect and admire. He thinks about the needs of the customer and the project and becomes a part of it. He really cares about the success of the project.
I have known Kelly for a number of years and have seen a few of the sites he has designed and maintains. He is an EXCELLENT designer…and he is an even better businessman. Kelly really knows how to focus on YOU as the client and will always do what is right. He is a real asset to anyone looking to hire a professional web designer. 5 out of 5 stars!
Kelly & Anne at Northwest Web Creation Company are "Simply the Best!
have worked with Kelly Burbank for the past three years. He is a consummate professional and his work reflects excellence in every way. Kelly is organized, dependable, and delivers on time. I have observed Kelly interacting with people in both personal and professional settings, and have found his character to exhibit thoughtfulness, resourcefulness and integrity. He also communicates well and takes a conscientious, deliberate approach in meeting his clients' needs.
I would recommend Kelly Burbank without reservation.
The primary step in developing a producing web site is to gather information. Many things need to be taken into consideration when we design the look and feel of your site.

Q: Can I use redux in a component to avoid prop drilling? Let's say I have this structure
 _______________
| HomeContainer |
 ---------------
        |         _______________
        |-------- | ComponentX |
                   --------------
                        |       _____________
                        |------ | ComponentZ |
                                --------------   _____________
                                      |---------|  User      |
                                                 -------------

And the following code for user
const User = (props) => {
  return
{props.user.name}

}

const mapStateToProps = state => {
  return {
    user: state.auth.user // I have an auth reducer mapped in the store
  }
}

export default connect(mapStateToProps)(User)

Can I use Redux to avoid having to pass the user to ComponentX and ComponentZ even if User is just a component and not a container?
What solution Redux provides to prop drilling?

A: Sure you only need to use connect function from react-redux it accept two arguments the first is the state the second will be the dispatch the actions like the code down bellow.
import { connect } from 'react-redux'
import { bindActionCreators } from 'redux'
import { MyAuthActions } from '../some/actions/files' //<--- my action file

const User = ({ user }) =>
{user.name}
 //<---- myActionFunction was created in my action created file dispatch

const state = ({ auth }) => ({ user: auth.user })
const dispatch = dispatch => bindActionCreators(MyAuthActions, dispatch)

export default connect(state, dispatch)(User)

ON THE VALIDITY OF MY ORDINATION
While Fr. Cekada's paper entitled Untrained and Un-Tridentine Holy Orders and the Canonically Unfit demonstrates a strong desire to return to the Church of the 50's rather than a return to sound Catholic principles, and as such demonstrates a certain lack of understanding of the problems that many Catholics face at the present time, I shall only address myself to that part of the paper which in a thinly disguised manner almost certainly pertains to, and aims at devaluating my ordination.
Despite his failure to use names several friends have pointed to possible similarities. The following comments are made with the intention of avoiding further confusion.
On the assumption that Fr. Cekada is referring to myself, let me say that if he had any doubts about the facts surrounding my ordination, he might have given me the courtesy of asking for the facts. I am reminded of verses 14 and 15 of Psalm 55. Again, on the assumption that his comments refer to myself, let me say that he has almost all the facts wrong. In fact the only thing he got right was that Bishop Jose Lopez-Gaston used a photocopy of the Pontifical.
First of all, Bishop-Lopez Gaston is extraordinarily well educated and qualified for his function of ordaining Bishop. He studied with the Marists in Cuba with the intention of entering the priesthood from 1944 to 1960. With the advent of Castro, he left for Spain. He subsequently completed studies in Philosophy, and Theology and received certificates of competence from Cardinal Manuel Aertaga (also exiled from Havana) in Theology and catechesis as well as a degree in theology. In the interim the changes in the Church occurred and he met his wife and married.
He has two separate doctorates, one in Romance Languages and one in Humanities, Philosophy and History obtained from universities in this country as well as degrees from the University of Havana in Philosophy and History. He is fluid in Latin, Greek and Spanish and indeed was head of the Department of Humanities at the University of New Mexico where he taught, among things, Latin.
When he was older, and after Bishop Carmona was consecrated by Archbishop Thuc (he incidentally in turn consecrated Bishop Pivarunas and Bishop Pivarunas consecrated Bishop Dolan), Bishop Carmona who knew Lopez-Gaston suggested to him that he should now be ordained. Both Bishop Gaston Lopez and his wife took public vows of celibacy and Bishop Carmona ordained him. He was subsequently consecrated as a bishop in the Thuc line.
It is virtually impossible for Bishop Gaston Lopez to have skipped a page at the time of my ordination – especially as there were several bishops and priests present. Every detail of the ordination rite was in fact followed correctly, and there are photographs that bear witness to this.
One problem arose. One of the people present thought Bishop Lopez-Gaston didn't actually touch my head during the critical part of the rite. I of course cannot bear witness to this as I was too much too involved in the process of ordination to check on such a detail. I however recently looked at the photographs which were taken and offer two as evidence to the contrary.
However, my close friend and mentor, Bishop Malachi Martin, stated that he wished there to be absolutely no doubt about my ordination. He therefore proceeded to conditionally re-ordain me. Hence it is that I received the graces of Ordination from a double source.
Father Cekada seems to have a particular antipathy against married clergy – indeed this would seem to be the basis of his views on "canonicity." Now eleven of the apostles were married; several of the canonized saints were married; some 29 popes were married, and some of them had their wives live in the Vatican; The Eastern "uniate" Churches allow for marriage and the Church has never denied the validity of their Sacramental functions, finally the New Testament speaks of the duties of married bishops. While under normal circumstances a married clergy in the Western Church is unusual from the 12th century onwards, cases of dispensation from Ecclesiastical canons have continually been allowed. For example, Pope Pius XII allowed married Episcopal and Anglican clergy who converted and wished to be priests to retain their wives. Just for the record marriage in no way invalidates the Sacrament. Of course there is a difference between a married person being ordained, and a priest who has already taken vows of celibacy getting married. Under the present circumstances it would seem that there is room for a carefully selected married clergy.[1] (This should not be misconstrued as to my advocating an across the board married clergy, but is offered to show that the canons involved are "ecclesiastical" and subject to dispensation.)
I cannot resist one final comment. It is clear that Fr. Cekada, despite his vaunted seminary training, never understood the sin of calumny. In his article he refers to Malachi Martin (again, not by name) as an "Apostate priest."
For the record, Father Vincent O'Keefe, S.J. former Vicar General of the Jesuits has publicly admitted that Fr. Malachi Brendin Martin was granted a full and legal dispensation from his Jesuit vows except for chastity and given a perpetual celebate to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. (cf. Michael Cain, Editor of the Daily Catholic, Easter Wednesday, April 14, 2004)
Perhaps a few words from Father Fiori, O.P. who know Malachi Martin for over 20 years, and who recently passed away may be of interest.
"Malachi Martin never left the Catholic priesthood, but was personally dispensed from his vows of poverty and obedience by Paul VI on leaving the Jesuits in 1964. I have seen and authenticated his dispensation papers. He did not seek release from his vow of chastity. When he came to New York, Cardinal Cooke gave him priestly faculties and advised him to find lodging with a family rather than live alone as he initially did."
I might add that Malachi, like many of us, changed his views over the course of time, but that Cuono bears witness in his rather puerile book An American Exorcist, that Father Malachi never said the Novus Ordo Missae.
Finally, let me make it clear that I am not interested in a debate on these issues. I initially intended to ignore Fr. Cekada's diatribe, but as I do hear confessions, do write on theological issues, and at times impart spiritual advice, I think it important to defend the validity of my orders.
Picture #1
Rama P. Coomaraswamy, M.D., F.A.C.S. +
[1] It has been suggested by some that a married individual who is ordained should separate from his spouse. This is not an Apostolic requirement. In any event, those who suggest such action should perhaps suggest some novus ordo convent (or some favorite convent of their own) for the wife and then provide nursing and care for the husband . In my case this would cost in the range of 300.000 dollars a year. Quite apart from the fact that we are not living in the 50's to make such a suggestion without offering to cover the costs is a mockery.

This evening's show in Lichfield was further visible proof of the Wild Ponies blossoming as a live touring act. The first time Doug and Telisha Williams played the Lichfield area it was in a support role to Rod Picott and they impressed sufficiently to get an invite back to play a headline duo date a year later. Follow the timeline on another twelve months and you arrive in the present with on this occasion the duo format expanded to a trio with a guest percussionist added. Each performance built upon the previous show with enhanced impact and indications are that the band's profile in the UK is growing too. Quite simply Doug and Telisha are in the throes of becoming an established touring act well supported by a UK network which advocates the view that the true soul of Nashville music exists east of the Cumberland River.
On the topic of soul, you would have to travel a long way to experience a more gut wrenching rendition of a song than the version of 'Iris' that flooded out of Telisha just after the break. Written in tribute to her grandma, the song adopted a greater element of poignancy in light of the fundraising aspect to this evening's show and took pride of place as the night's golden moment. There is an incredible amount of authenticity and southern class in Telisha's voice whether it's acting as a song's focal point or merging in the more upbeat rock 'n' roll material that the band excel at. Throughout a performance that spanned two sets, deliciously punctuated by a serving of Hot Burrito Promotion's famous chilli, the Wild Ponies shared all facets of their repertoire, obviously steeped in traditional country but also extending to wider roots and a spicy dose of indie rock 'n' roll. This sound has enormously contributed into attracting an expanding fan base this side of the pond.
To share some of the Wild Ponies ingredients, Telisha adds the stand-bass input to her vocals, while Doug effortlessly flits between his trusty old Gibson acoustic and more lively Fender Telecaster. For this tour, a hired native percussionist known as Tobias has provided the third dimension, with Telisha anointing him as the 'Posh Pony'. Seriously though and despite the ribbing, the contribution of a percussionist at these shows can be immense and this evening was no exception. Before delving into some of the band's song analysis, you have to mention the encore when all three performers left the stage, brought their unplugged instruments onto the floor (including the hefty bass) and beautifully serenaded the audience on their way with Telisha's appetising version of the Patsy Cline standard 'I Fall to Pieces': Pure live gig heaven.
The two sets the band played prior to the encore were sprinkled with material from the latest album THINGS THAT USED TO SHINE, the Doug and Telisha Williams duo album GHOST OF THE KNOXVILLE GIRL and enticingly, three songs from an upcoming record due to hit the shelves in 2016. This trio of tracks titled, 'Radiant', 'Broken Heart' and 'Unplug Your Machine', was the most intriguing part of the night and the first listen was mightily impressive. The first track is set to be the record's title, while the second one was the standout of the three with such a remarkable likeness to the style of Angaleena Presley. The final one was the most memorable of the trio with a distinctive appeal, new wave indie rock backbeat and a sentiment we all need to adhere to sometimes. Stay tuned for further new Wild Ponies stuff shortly.
THINGS THAT USED TO SHINE has been given a renewed press boost during this tour and tracks from the record continue to sparkle in a live setting. Tonight's highlights were the vigorous 'Broken', the Amy Speace co-write 'Trouble Looks Good on You' and the NASCAR story told in 'Massey's Run'. As per last year's show, Doug introduced the latter with an insightful tale of being raised near to the famous speedway circuit in Martinsville Virginia with this year's take including a recent return visit to the town. At this point it is worth mentioning that Doug takes lead vocal on this track and a few others as well as singing harmony on many more.
There is no lead status in the Wild Ponies with both artists adding vital components. Telisha is a proud fan of the murder folk ballad and amongst the set this evening included the wonderful title track from the GHOST OF THE KNOXVILLE GIRL album along with a couple of others defined by the killing theme. Of course this is the artistic side of Doug and Telisha with undoubtedly their literal side being represented in the defunct protest song 'Love is Not a Sin'. To conclude the song analysis, there was no finer up tempo part of the show than 'Graveyard Train' which precluded the encore and contained two of Telisha's major song inspirations.
Just a word about the backdrop to this evening's show and its fundraising purpose of supporting the British Heart Foundation which included a short opening set by local artists Ben and Chrissie. The cause was very dear to the heart of a few folks in the room and an extremely well attended show displayed an enormous amount of support for the cause. The sheer quality of the Wild Ponies performance gave the event the content it deserved and it was a pleasure to attend the evening with all the subtle and honourable trappings. You are certainly missing something if you don't add the Wild Ponies to your 2016 gig and listening schedule. This was definitely not the case for those in Lichfield this evening.

FLASHBACK! The race of attrition in 1995
The final Adelaide Grand Prix in 1995 turned into a battle of survival with just eight finishes from 24 entrants.
McLaren's Mika Hakkinen was ruled out of the race following his Friday qualifying crash, suffering a fracture to the base of his skull and saved by the fast reactions of doctors.
With Hakkinen missing, the field was down to 23 entries. And with Luca Badoer's Minardi failing to start on the warmup lap, just 22 entries would start the race.
Sauber's Karl Wendlinger crashed head-first into the wall at the Senna Chicane in Friday practice. He suffered whiplash that forced him to miss qualifying and retire just eight laps into the race in pain.
The craziness in the race began when Williams' David Coulthard crashed on the entry into the pitlane on lap 20.
Forti's Roberto Moreno also spun coming into pitlane, unlike Coulthard going into the wall with the rear of his car but with the same result – retirement.
Ferrari's Jean Alesi and Benetton's Michael Schumacher, who were set to swap seats in 1996, made contact at the hairpin at the end of Brabham Straight on lap 23, subsequently retiring due to the damage sustained in the tangle.
Drivers were falling by the wayside at an alarming rate: Rubens Barrichello crashed on the entry to the parklands section with a sticking throttle; Gerhard Berger, the only former winner in Adelaide in the field, out with engine failure; Heinz-Harald Frenzten with gearbox failure; Eddie Irvine, celebrating his 30th birthday, losing oil pressure; and Johnny Herbert out with a broken driveshaft.
Williams' Damon Hill cruised to victory with a two-lap gap over second place, the biggest winning margin since Jackie Stewart at the 1969 Spanish Grand Prix.
"It seemed like everything went my way," said Hill. "I had quite an easy time of it. A surfer I met before the race taught me the phrase, 'Too easy, mate'. And it sums up this race."
Best of the rest was Ligier's Oliver Panis, despite a spluttering and smoking Mugen-Honda engine. Panis brought his ailing Ligier home for an unlikely second place with Footwork's Gianni Morbidelli scoring his first and, ultimately, only podium in Formula 1.
McLaren's Mark Blundell overcame a hit up the rear from fellow Brit Martin Brundle to take fourth place. Tyrrell's Mika Salo scored fifth place with Pedro Lamy claiming Minardi's first point of the season in sixth, despite an embarrassing lapse of concentration earlier in the race when he spun at turn three and made a mess of his re-entry, spinning again.
Only eight of the 22 entries that started the race took the chequered flag. For the Forti and Pacific teams in seventh and eighth, the failure to score a point in such a race of attrition would prove costly with the loss of financial support for the following season.
Even support-category racers weren't sparred in an incident-filled weekend. Formula Ford racer Gavin Monaghan required emergency surgery on a broken leg after being struck by another car head-on, while Formula Holden competitor Alan Galloway suffered a bruised foot and was left unconscious by another heavy front-on impact.
In the grand prix itself, two Minardi mechanics suffered minor injuries when struck by the Tyrrell of Ukyo Katayama. Even a friendly game of soccer between Italian teams Ferrari and Forti resulted in mechanic for the latter Loreto San Fratello breaking his right ankle.

Your points are taken, but what other franchises do things like this? Hire a new guy to take over, don't fire the previous regime, and let the new guy decide what happens? It just seems like a very strange way of running a team.
Exactly. Nothing improves until these deadbeats are officially removed from the organization. Per K.C. Johnson: https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bulls/bulls-negotiating-make-arturas-karnisovas-head-of-basketball-operations?amp=1 "John Paxson is expected to move into a senior advisory role with no daily presence around the team, sources said. He has offered to help Karnisovas in any manner in which Karnisovas sees fit. The future of current general manager Gar Forman, who has moved largely into a scouting role, will be discussed."

Lisle. Great taps. Wonder how their prices are.
Agreed, 100%. Especially the Double Dry-Hopped (DDH) IPAs. They need to age. I just grabbed some More DDH Dusty this last weekend. When it's too green (fresh), it's a bit harsh.

Wait, earlier I supported Trump because I was racist. Now, I support him out of fear? Which is it?
"Black guy or woman?" I will preemptively excuse you of your veiled accusation of racism. But the Obamas were most recently in the White House prior to Trump. I also mentioned the Clintons, just in case you missed it. Serious question though — how are some people going to handle the next four years of their lives once Trump is re-elected?
I get my kicks reading some of the outrageous posts made here. Trump was rich before he became POTUS and will be rich long after he is out of office. Meanwhile, the Obamas who earned less than a combined $300K per year before entering the White House now have a net worth of $40 million dollars. Do I even need to bother discussing the Clintons? There's definitely no dirty money there! 😂
It is your opinion that the law is not just. Meanwhile, your ridiculous ideas on immigration laws would turn this country into the shit-hole that is China.
Pace and the Bears suck. The countdown has already begun on Pace's NFL career. The Bulls screw up every decision they make. Farmer's death? How much can that be discussed? Bernstein has sounded off on Trump numerous times in the past until I'm pretty sure The Score management told him to shut up about it.
You just compared a government removing organs from innocent people who are hated due to their religion to not coming up with contingency plans for people who ILLEGALLY (yes, that means breaking the law) enter another country for work. Amazing comparison. 🤣 And I will throw your absolutely ridiculous comparison out the window and still consider your overall statement -- why in the hell is any person who ILLEGALLY entered this country entitled to the government giving them something better (a.k.a. a free handout), as opposed to worrying about legitimate U.S. citizens? They are here ILLEGALLY which means they shouldn't even be here in the first place. I blame the corrupt business owners that are employing these ILLEGAL immigrants, not the U.S. government. But apparently, the U.S. government should give better jobs and free healthcare to people who shouldn't even be in this country in the first place? Makes a lot of sense...
Most likely, and knowing China, the pile of ashes also contains plenty of uninfected undesireables.
Sports radio acting shocked and upset there are layoffs. Can they explain to me any reason why I would want to listen to The Score right now? There's no freaking sports to discuss!!! And I don't listen to sports radio to hear those clowns discuss politics. They are barely good at discussing sports.
Radio Broadcast Speculation Thread
Moan4Yoan replied to Vacheron's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Man, Bernstein lives on forever.
RIP Ed Farmer
Moan4Yoan replied to aboz56's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I always thought it was their gimmick/shtick. DJ would play dumb and Farmer would act annoyed and clown him... similar to Benetti and Stone on the TV broadcast. RIP Farmer.
Agreed. The argument that America is just as bad as China simply exists because people hate the President and want him out of office so this argument is fuel for their fire. Meanwhile, in China... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/china-religious-ethnic-minorities-uighur-muslim-harvest-organs-un-human-rights-a9117911.html Comparing the US to China at a humanitarian level is an absolute joke. It's no surprise, people who make this argument live in the US. So when people laugh at the idea that China would do something insane like spread a virus, well, they already harvest and sell organs and other body parts from people they don't like while these people are still alive. Insanity sometimes knows no bounds.

MNCs in Hyderabad City Outskirts Interested in Doing Business With Little Concern for Their Employees
Many big Indian and foreign multinational companies (MNCs) like Google, Microsoft, Infosys, TCS, Oracle, etc., have set up their businesses in Hyderabad city. They have provided thousands of jobs to both Hyderabadis and non-Hyderabadis. I appreciate their contribution to new job creation. But the issue here is, why these MNCs chose city outskirts to set up their companies and why not city centre.
Haven't they thought for a second that by moving to outskirts they are putting their employees at a risk (we discussed on the assaults on employees in the city outskirts in our next article) or is it that they really don't care for their employees? What is obvious here is they are looking for cheaper properties in the city outskirts – not bothered about employee safety. It's high time they correct themselves.
MNCs' differential standards in Hyderabad
Most of the MNCs are around 18 to 20 kms away from the city centre. This forces us to believe that these companies are showing differential standards in Hyderabad by setting up offices in the outskirts of the city. The same companies have offices in city centre in countries like the US and the UK.
For example, Google is considered as one of the best places to work. They say Google is employee-friendly. Interestingly, all their offices in the US and in the UK are in the city centre. But when it comes to Hyderabad, India, Google's office is in Kondapur village, which is 16 kms away from the city centre. If someone is 8kms away on other side of the city centre, then he/she has to ravel to work for 24kms, which is no joke when you need to go through city centre for most of the distance in heavy traffic and repeatedly doing it every day is even more painful.
Are MNCs hesitating while investing in Hyderabad?
All these MNCs are multimillion companies and it is not that they can't afford a property in city centre; they can, but they are relying on the government subsidies and exemptions. It looks like these MNCs are hesitating while investing in Hyderabad. Here in Google's case,
It spent around Rs.11,685 crore for a single office building of 2.9 million sq.ft in New York city centre and 15 acres in Palo Alto spending approximately Rs.420 crores ($66.7 million), moving closer to San Francisco.
In the UK, Google spent Rs.6,150 crore to buy a plot of 2.4 acres in King's Cross, centre of London city.
Google had to spend Rs.6,150 crore just to buy a 2.4 acres of land. If the same 2.4 acres of land was purchased in Hyderabad city centre, assuming in Hyderabad city centre it is around Rs.50,000 per sq. yd., then it would have not costed them more than Rs.58 crore. Just see the comparison.
If you take a look at the above point, it is very clear that Google has no issues on spending crores of rupees while buying property in US and UK city centre. Whereas in Hyderabad, they want property at a cheaper price. Why do they have this difference? Does anybody have an answer to this question.
It shows that MNCs are more interested in acquiring properties at a cheaper price, it is neglecting the security and ignoring the convenience of its employees. It is not only Google that has this kind of attitude, it is the same case with major MNCs in Hyderabad. We have taken Google just as an example. But, on the other hand, Intergraph, DE Shaw and ADP have not blindly followed the others and they stayed predominantly in the city centre.
Outskirts are highly risk-prone
Offices situated in outskirts are isolated and there is no assurance of safety to the employees from companies during night time. Very less (one can actually count) common public is seen around these offices during night and there is very less frequency of public transportation.
As the safety levels are low, this makes it easy for the criminals to find their prey. We can see many incidents like mugging, sexual assaults on women, etc., taking place in city outskirts. Yet these MNCs have no concerns on this issue. Do read our next article on "IT/ITES Offices in Outskirts Putting Women Employees at Risk of Assaults".
Colonial attitude of companies
Setting up companies in outskirts of the city shows colonial attitude of the company towards its employees.
For them it is the employees' responsibility to turn up to office on time, no matter how much distance they have travelled or how much pain they have taken to reach the office.
Employees stay dozens of kilometres away from their families and in case there is an emergency they can't reach out to their family immediately, which is even more painful.
Employees who have moved to outskirts to avoid long commuting to their offices are lacking security and other facilities while residing in the outskirts. That's why most of them are staying in gated communities.
There is a competitive advantage to be gained by companies being located in outskirts. We hope MNC companies give attention to this issue and consider having their premises in city centre to ensure safety of their employees and improve the quality of their life.

The dance company of Oakland choreographer Reginald-Ray Savage celebrates its 20th anniversary this weekend with a series of brand new works entitled "Dances for Oakland." The concert promises to be yet another exhilarating evening of dances by a company that has relentlessly offered audiences excitingly sensual and dynamic works performed by Mr. Savage's own rigorously trained students of dance.
The troupe this year has gained a number of new dancers whose youth and technical skill are certain to bring the performances to a new level of sheer beauty of movement. The company's long-time fans will also be gratified to once again watch lead dancer Alison Hurley bring her elegant musicality to the stage, as well as Jarrod Mayo's explosive energy and gravity-defying leaps.
Reginald-Ray Savage's choreography is a unique blend of structural integrity—obviously influenced by the late George Balanchine, modern dance's master of formalism—and a sensuality and vitality that evokes the works of Alvin Ailey and Paul Taylor. Savage's eclectic taste in music also informs his choreography, and lately, his interest in contemporary classical music has enriched his newer works with even more intelligence and architectural complexity. Savage's works, especially his ensemble pieces, have always clearly shown his strengths as a choreographer, but we get a sense that he is pushing boundaries, reaching for new ways to bring movement and music together as one.
Oakland has the presence of a world-class choreographer in its midst, one who has that ineffable quality of a great teacher who attracts dancers who are willing to train until they drop, and one who has the talent to create dances that are joyous, breathtaking and profoundly moving. A true artist, Savage reminds us of the beauty of the human body moving through space to the rhythms of time. If you have never seen his company perform, now is the time.
"Dances for Oakland" is being presented at the Laney College Theater in Oakland this Friday and Saturday evening, June 1-2 at 8pm. These performances will also have a special appearance by the Menlowe Ballet. There will also be a matinee performance by the company on Sunday, June 3, at 3pm.

Crystal Hermitage is funded and supported by the generous donors of Ananda Village, friends of Ananda and garden patrons.
1968 a friend built the original dome structure for $5,000.
1984 the main building in the upper garden was completed. Kriyananda named his newly developed home, "Crystal Hermitage." He consulted local architects, builders, and landscapers, and together with them created beautiful upper and lower gardens and pools. In the upper garden, he had a small meditation chapel built, and (later on) a museum which now holds relics from Yogananda and Ananda's line of gurus. The main building, below, holds a large dining room and kitchen for banquets and social gatherings. The expansive lower garden he designed to for outdoor concerts and other programs.

All children are welcome in 5 Living Wisdom Schools near Ananda communities. Education for Life principles guide graduates to live happy and highly successful lives.
Ananda's inspiration and spiritual teachings come from Paramhansa Yogananda and his spiritual lineage. Yogananda came to America in 1920. He was the first guru superstar, showing the unity of Eastern and Western spiritual traditions, and how to live with Divinity in daily life.
Swami Kriyananda (1926–2013), a direct disciple of Yogananda, founded the original Ananda Village in the Sierra Foothills near Nevada City, CA in 1969.
Through over 150 books and 400 pieces of music (Crystal Clarity Publishing), Swami Kriyananda further illuminated and shared Yogananda's wisdom with thousands of spiritual seekers who have continued his legacy of daily meditation, kindness and ethical living.
With the passing of Swami Kriyananda in 2013, Nayaswami Jyotish was named by Kriyananda as his spiritual successor. Jyotishji met Swami Kriyananda in 1966, working closely with him and his wife, Devi (who came to Ananda in 1969), to build Ananda's work around the world.
Hundreds of friends from around the world will gather in the birthplace of this movement, Ananda Village, to honor the life of Swami Kriyananda, Ananda's founder and direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, and look to the future together. This week-long program will weave together all aspects of Ananda's worldwide mission — fulfilling the will of the Masters, spiritual community, yoga in daily life, the path of Self-realization — into an experience of divine friendship for all who come.
The culminating event of the week will be the dedication of the Temple of Light at Ananda Village, a symbol of the uniting spirit that Ananda represents. Dedicated to truth-seekers everywhere, the Temple of Light is a physical manifestation of Ananda's mission in every way. We hope you can come and celebrate this joyful occasion with your worldwide Ananda family. Learn more.

TELE2 ACQUIRES FINNISH 3G SUOMEN 3G OY
Press release Tele2 Group May 12 2003, 12:05 PM CET
New York and Stockholm - Monday, May 12, 2003 - Tele2 AB ("Tele2", "the Group") (Nasdaq Stock Market: TLTOA and TLTOB and Stockholmsbörsen: TEL2A and TEL2B), the leading alternative pan-European telecommunications company, today announced that it has acquired the remaining shares in Finnish 3G Suomen 3G Oy, which holds one of four 3G licenses in Finland. Tele2 previously owned 27.4% of the company.
Finnish 3G has already built 3G coverage in nine Finnish cities, and its licence requirements state that it is to have built 3G coverage in 18 cities in Finland by the end of 2003. However, it is possible that these requirements will be deferred. The acquisition price of EUR 7,9 million is equivalent to the proportion of the company's cash position acquired by Tele2.
Tele2 currently offers fixed line telephony and Internet services in Finland and is in the final stage of negotiating a MVNO agreement to offer GSM mobile services. Customers will subsequently be offered 3G services.
The acquisition is subject to governmental and regulatory approvals required under the laws of Finland and the European Commission.
Lars-Johan Jarnheimer, CEO of Tele2 said; "The takeover of Finnish 3G offers us the opportunity to develop a MVNO business in Finland at a low cost and with minimal capital expenditure requirements. It will also enable us to subsequently offer 3G services to our customers ".
Tele2 AB, formed in 1993, is the leading alternative pan-European telecommunications company offering fixed and mobile telephony, data network and Internet services under the brands Tele2, Tango and Comviq to 17.7 million people in 22 countries. Tele2 operates Datametrix, which specializes in systems integration, 3C Communications, providing integrated credit card processing, web payment solutions and public payphones; Transac, providing billing and transaction processing service; C³, offering co-branded pre-paid calling cards and Optimal Telecom, the price-guaranteed residential router device. The Group offers cable television services and, together with MTG, owns the Internet portal Everyday.com. The Company is listed on the Stockholmsbörsen, under TEL2A and TEL2B, and on the Nasdaq Stock Market under TLTOA and TLTOB.
