Alex McLeish confirmed on Tuesday Aston Villa are edging closer to completing the capture of Charles N'Zogbia from Wigan and hopes his arrival can help compensate for the loss of Ashley Young and Stewart Downing.
The deal, thought to be in the region of £9.5m, will be completed once N'Zogbia undergoes a medical and McLeish is delighted to land a player he tried in vain to sign last season when Birmingham City manager. The 25-year-old Frenchman will help fill the hole left by the sales of England duo Young and Downing to Manchester United and Liverpool respectively.
"The deal hasn't been fully done yet, he still has to complete a medical. I believe everything else is just about there," said McLeish during an Asia Trophy press conference in Hong Kong. I think it's a great addition to the squad. He's an explosive player and he gives us a little bit of quality to replace one or two of the guys that have left the club."
He added: "We try to do as much homework as possible to ensure we can get it done. You can never say it's a 100 % done deal, that's why I remain cautious, but I'm pretty confident.
"You saw his exploits last season, especially towards the end of the campaign when he scored five or six goals which were extremely important for Wigan to stay in the league.
"I felt we needed to replace Downing with similar quality, he's broken into the French national team, I believe we've got a player who can become even better."
Villa skipper Stiliyan Petrov was equally enthusiastic about N'Zogbia's impending arrival.
"He's an exceptional talent, he would be an amazing signing for us," he said. "He's improved so much in the last couple of years and we'll be glad to have him in our team because he can bring something special.
"He's a very explosive player, he likes to take people on and when you have a player like that, you take a lot of pressure off the team.
"Every time he's faced us, he's torn us apart, he'll be an exciting signing."

Two nights ago I started planning our advent list. Tomorrow I need to dig out the calendar I made last year and get it ready to hang with all our activities listed in the envelopes.
With Abby I made the library a pretty big part of our routine starting from when she was tiny and going to infant story time. (Side note - wow I've been blogging for a long time now!) When Micah joined our family, we had made more friends, had a few more playdates and had also joined the gym and my group ex class addiction usually conflicted with story time. We still hit the library but not as often and not for story time. When Micah got mobile taking two the the library was quite the challenge! Gotta love the reserve online feature our library has where I can pick the books I want, they'll pull them for me and have them ready. We hadn't been in a while though and our cards were all expired - so I took Micah to the library for the first time by himself yesterday. He had a lot of fun picking out books. We happened to be there when a story time was starting and it wasn't very crowded. However Micah lasted all of .02 seconds before he decided picking out his own books was more interesting than sitting and listening to a story. Then he changed his mind so we gave another go at trying story time 2 minutes later.... which lasted all of .05 seconds.
Then because I have a crazy busy little
monkey guy, we hit the park across the street from the library to burn off some energy before lunch and naptime.
My tiny guy shocked me and climbed this all by himself. It's slightly sloped but not too much and pretty tall - slightly taller than me to get to the climbing structure (as in I can walk under the path that leads to the slide without hitting my head) He was so proud of himself - especially when I clapped and praised him after his first time going up. Every time after that he'd get to the top and ask me "see that?" to make sure I saw he did it by himself again.
This morning we headed back to Bible class after a week off. It was rough getting going in the morning because we're having a cold front and neither Abby nor I wanted to get out of bed. Abby was so sleepy she let me pick out her clothes with no fuss (big deal for her!) so that she could continue laying in bed while I got her clothes. Micah was sad his little buddy Nate wasn't feeling well and wasn't there to play with. He's such a sweet heart and mommy's little boy on Tuesday mornings - he's all fun and running around playing until we get to my classroom to set it up before taking him to his class - then he doesn't want to play, sits on the counter while I get the craft set up and ready. Once that was ready he wanted cuddles and wrapped his arms tightly around my neck. What a sweetie.
The rest of the day was filled with errands, picking up with/after two little tornados that turned the clean living room into a very messy one very quickly, dinner, bath and bed. A busy, full day. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little less busy - I'm planning on hitting the gym then just finishing chores and craft projects around the house. I think a low key day is needed after two busy days.

Clown, judge exchange words in court
Kenneth Kraucunas charged with disorderly conduct, resisting officer
A man dressed as a clown got into a heated exchange with a Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge Wednesday.
Kenneth Kraucunas is charged with disorderly conduct and resisting or obstructing an officer in a scuffle with a Milwaukee police officer that was all caught on camera.
WISN 12 News obtained video of the fight near Milwaukee City Hall.
Investigators said it all started when the officer tried to arrest Kraucunas after responding to reports of a clown standing in the street with a toy gun, blocking traffic.
Kraucunas showed up in court Wednesday dressed as a clown, and the judge ordered him to change.
"I expect you to come back with proper attire. No, just listen to me," Milwaukee County Judge Bonnie Gordon said.
"Give me a written order on that," Kraucunas said. "I need to have a written order on that because I'm going to take that to my attorney."
"Do not interrupt me," Gordon said.
"You're interrupting me. If you want, give me an order on that, please," Kraucunas said.
"I find your conduct and your language to the court is disrespectful," Gordon said.
Wednesday's court hearing was rescheduled for March.

Chair, Asian Studies ProgramAssociate Professor of Sociology
B.A., Ewha Womans University (Seoul, Korea)M.A., Ewha Womans University (Seoul, Korea); M.A., Columbia UniversityPh.D., Columbia University
I was born in Korea and grew up just after the 1951 Korean War. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English language and literature in 1973 and a master's degree in sociology from Ewha in 1975 from Ewha Womans University in Seoul, where my thesis concerned black nationalism in America. In 1977, I was granted a scholarship to study at Columbia University where I pursued a second master's in sociology, which I completed in 1979. I became interested in law while studying at Columbia University and wrote my Ph.D. thesis, "Dynamics of Gender and Legal Professions: The Case of Women Jurists of South Korea," receiving my Ph.D. from Columbia University in 2000. My major field of interest is law and society, and I have been specializing in studying women's entry into the field of law in East Asia. Other areas of professional interest are gender studies; race and ethnicity; and East Asian studies, including religions and shamanism as well as East Asian art and cinema.
I began teaching at Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus in 1994 and became associate professor of sociology in 2002. In 2006, I initiated the Asian Studies Program, introducing a minor in Asian studies into the Campus' curriculum. I presently serve as chair of the Program.
Through the Asia Forum Guest Lecture Series, I have brought a number of distinguished guest lecturers to the Brooklyn Campus. During my sabbatical year in 2004-2005, I accepted a position as visiting professor at Peking University and another at Nanjing University in China. I returned to lecture at Nanjing University during the summer of 2007. For Spring 2010, I have been invited to Ewha Womans University, where I will be a visiting professor. Since 1983, I have presented lectures concerning East Asia at many venues including Harvard University, Seoul National University, Cornell University, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Mills College, Pitzer College, Bard College, CUNY Graduate Center, Howard University and Ewha Womans University. I received a number of research and travel grants from Long Island University as well as a major grant from the Korea Foundation to produce a book manuscript on the entry of women into the legal professions in Korea. In October 2009, I submitted "A Place in the Sun: Women's Entry into the Legal Professions in Korea, 1952-2009" to the Korea Foundation, and the manuscript is now being considered for publication by the University of Washington Press.
My personal interests include Asian art, Asian music, religions in East Asia and motherhood in contemporary society. I am married to an artist and have a 27-year-old daughter as well as an 18-year-old stepson.

City loses more than $700,000 on basketball game | News
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A more than $700 thousand loss. That's how much it cost the City of Jacksonville to host the Navy-Marine Corps Classic basketball game. The game between the University of Florida and Georgetown took place last year at Mayport.
The question now remains, how much money is too much for military goodwill. It's a nationally recognized basketball game that puts Jacksonville in the spotlight.
But because of a number of factors, like too much moisture on the ship's makeshift basketball court that cut the game short, a late venue change to a different ship that reduced seating from 8,000 to 3,500 and pricey insurance for the event, financially the game was a loss. But in other ways, city organizers say it was a success.
Alan Verlander the Sports and Entertainment director for the City said, "We are a military town. You look at the economic impact to our community it's over $14 billion."
According to the City, all of the money for this game came from the Sports Trust Fund. That's sourced from money the City generates from local entertainment events. The City did not use reserves or general fund operating funds for this event. But, it is public money.
So, is this investment in our city and the military a sound one, even if the numbers don't show it? Resident Michael Scott said, "I feel like the City owes it to our military to give them a fair chance and let's try it one more time."
Chris Courtenay has a different view. "Seven hundred grand is a lot of money. I don't think we should do it, or if we are going to do it again, we should do better planning on it," he said.
The City still wants to host the game again this year. In addition to possibly hosting the game on the ship, they are also looking at other locations.

Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (PI) is pleased to announce the appointment of Guifre Vidal to its research faculty. Dr. Vidal is currently an Australian Research Council Federation Fellow at the University of Queensland in Brisbane; in 2009, he accepted a visiting position as a PI Distinguished Research Chair (DRC).
In making the announcement, PI's Director Neil Turok said, "Professor Vidal has pioneered powerful new methods for understanding large quantum systems which exhibit fascinating collective phenomena. His research combines insights from quantum information, computational physics, and condensed matter physics and lays the basis for a far more sophisticated understanding of the real quantum world around us. We are thrilled to have Guifre join us at PI – he will greatly strengthen and broaden our expertise in quantum information, field theory and condensed matter."
Dr. Vidal works at the interface of quantum information and condensed matter physics. He has done extensive work on quantum entanglement, both with regards to quantum computing and in the broader context of many-body systems. He has developed new computational approaches, such as entanglement renormalization, to gain a better understanding of condensed matter systems.
Dr. Vidal said, "I very much look forward to starting to work as a Faculty member at Perimeter Institute. I have visited PI several times since its creation, and have always enjoyed the special atmosphere it offers to researchers. However, what finally made me decide to join the Institute was the recent inclusion of condensed matter theory as one of its core research areas."
Dr. Vidal received his PhD from the University of Barcelona in 1999 under the supervision of Prof. Rolf Tarrach. He was a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Ignacio Cirac's group at the University of Innsbruck in Austria from 1999 – 2002 and then worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. John Preskill at the Institute for Quantum Information at the California Institute of Technology from 2002 – 2005. He has been a professor in the School of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Queensland since 2005.
Dr. Vidal's past honours include a Marie Curie Fellowship, awarded by the European Union, and a Sherman Fairchild Foundation Fellowship. He plans to arrive in Waterloo in May 2011, and will be bringing three postdoctoral researcher colleagues with him.
Editor's Note: Dr. Vidal recently spoke with Science Watch about some of his highly-cited work. You can read that interview in Science Watch.

Evolution Hoax
(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview dated January 20, 2011)
…do not quarrel among yourselves lest you lose heart. (Surat al-Anfal, 46)
Alawites, Sunnis, Bektashis and Wahabbists must not look at one another as enemies and must not hate one another. Have they not fallen apart and become weary? Yes, they have. Have they not lost all their strength? Yes, they have. They say they are scared of America and Israel. There are many people who are not much eager for Turkish-Islamic Union. People will be asked about this command in the Hereafter, insha'Allah.
Those who are unbelievers are the friends and protectors of one another. (Surat al-Anfal, 73)
The community and the army of the dajjal (antichrist) are one another's friends. Allah says that if you do not do this (if you do not help and be one another's friends), if you do not support one another, there will be anarchy and terror: "If you do not act in this way there will be turmoil in the land and great corruption."
Do you do that? No? Do you support those who do? No. You will have to give account for this verse, too, inshaAllah.

Wynne is the county seat and largest city of Cross County, Arkansas, United States. The population was 8,367 at the 2010 Census.[3] Nestled between the Arkansas Delta and Crowley's Ridge, Wynne is the closest city to the second-largest state park in Arkansas, Village Creek State Park.[4]Wynne was named for Captain Jesse Watkins Wynne, a Texan who achieved the rank of Captain in the Civil War at the age of just 21. He was famed for leading a group of his captors up to the Confederate lines, where he then marched them to headquarters as his own prisoners. In 1867, Captain Wynne moved to St. Francis County, Arkansas, and joined the finance company of Dennis & Beck.
At that time, the Dennis & Beck company held savings for other companies and for individuals, but eventually, it became the Bank of Eastern Arkansas, and Wynne became its first president. From 1880-85, as the St. Louis, Iron Mountain, and Southern Railroad was under construction, active steamboat riverports like Wittsburg, at that time the county seat of Cross County, were deserted for the railroads. The location of the settlement of Wynne was first chosen in 1882, when a train derailed, leaving one boxcar without wheels and off the tracks. That boxcar was then turned upright as a building, and as a compliment to Captain Wynne, it was designated the "Wynne Station". On September 27, 1882, the Wynne Station Post Office was opened.

Homeowners Insurance
Did you know that ADT Home Security monitoring is so effective that many homeowners insurance providers offer discounts to policyholders with their security systems. By having an ADT-monitored security system installed in your home, you may be able to save on your homeowners insurance premiums. That's money back in your wallet!
24 Hours a day monitoring
ADT monitoring is a leader in monitored home security, but it also offers important services such as Emergency Alert Monitoring, Flood Monitoring, and Fire and Smoke Monitoring.
ADT 6-Month Money Back Guarantee
ADT is so confident in the quality of their monitoring services, that if your home is broken into while your system is armed, ADT will pay up to $500 of your homeowners insurance deductible (certain restrictions may apply).
Burglaries Cost More than You Think
Being the victim of a home burglary can be a very distressing experience. Stress may become compounded once the financial impact of a burglary becomes apparent. According to the FBI, burglary victims in 2011 faced, on average, nearly $2,200 in property loss. This number doesn't take into consideration additional expenses in the form of lost wages, insurance deductibles, and various other costs. Residents of some cities were victims of as many as 109101 property crimes and 27459 burglaries in 2011. Several of these burglaries could have been prevented had homeowners installed home security systems, which can deter potential intruders from breaking into a residence.
Why Arkansas Homeowners Choose ADT Monitoring Systems
There are many different reasons Arkansas residents choose ADT Security Monitoring to help protect their home & family from burglary and other disasters. But we thought we'd list just a few reasons for choosing SafeStreets USA and ADT.
Multiple types of protection. ADT monitored security systems not only help protect against burglaries and home invasion, but also helps against fire and even carbon monoxide poisoning. An alarm can help wake your family in case of smoke and fire. A panic button can also help contact police or fire department during an emergency, perhaps even saving your life.
Security equipment that's easy to use. With just a push of a button you can easily arm and disarm your system. And with the panic button your family can quickly alert emergency response such as police or the need of an ambulance.
Dependable equipment and confident monitoring your home security system is monitored 24 hours a day and 365 days per year by trained staff at the ready. ADT provides great redundancy with 6 US monitoring centers your home is never unprotected. If one center is down then another automatically starts monitoring your home.
Quick deployment of first responders. At any time your alarm is triggered or you push the panic button, ADT's monitoring centers will quickly try and verify your situation. If you are having an actual emergency ADT will immediately notify police or fire responders with your exact location and details.
News: Wireless vs Wired Security Systems
The number of households in the U.S. with a home security system hasn't changed much in the past 10 years. In 2008, 33.47 million people said they own a home with a home security system. In 2017, that number was 35.44—which might seem like a significant increase except has peaked at much higher and gone down, although it looks like it might be trending up again.
What has changed is the type of home security people have. Older systems were hardwired and today's home security and automation systems tend to be wireless—although they have the same basic features and components.
Our world is wireless
In today's wireless world, we kind of expect everything to be wireless. We want WiFi everywhere and always-on access to the Internet-enabled apps on our smart phones. It's only natural that we're going to want wireless home security too.
A wireless home security solution is not the obvious first choice, however, if you're shopping around and debating between wireless and hardwired. There are times when a hardwired solution is the way to go. For most of us, that's not the case and a wireless home security system makes the most sense.
Ways it's wireless
When talking about home security systems, wireless has two meanings. The system itself is wireless within your home, relying on WiFi to work. And the system is remotely accessible to you, again via WiFi.
A wireless home security system is much easier to install because it has—you guessed it—no wires. No drilling is required, no wires must be worked into and snaked through walls to come out a different hole elsewhere in the house. A wireless home security system requires the same number of wires as your wireless phone: zero.
That means you can easily expand your home security system later, if you want to. You can add features, and you can add more coverage, say to your garage or another outbuilding, or with more video cameras outside.
Where to find wireless
If you're either upgrading your current home security system or you're moving into a new home and buying one for the first time, you might wonder whom to trust. After all, every home security vendor out there seems like a reputable one, right? You can check consumer reviews to see if they are as good as they claim to be. For example, SafeStreets USA scores 7.6 out of 10 according to reviews at Best Company. Since that's based on almost 150 consumer reviews, that's a trustworthy score.
Whether you decide hardwired or wireless home security works best for your home, you're taking steps to protect it, and you can do so with peace of mind when you choose a well-rated vendor with a strong reputation.


text: Jamming along to version of Dark Star i have noticed that its sounds good to play in both Aminor Pentatonic and Eminor Pentatonic (excluding all the major and modal tendencies that elaborate the jamming). Aminor is the more comfortable key obviously, but Eminor seems to me to flow quite well, at least in parts. Any idea how it is that both pentatonics seem to fit? as of yet i know very little about how to play actual parts of the song (although i do intend to learn).

Google's privacy chief backs t-shirts, not ties
- 25 July, 2007 12:48
Google's global privacy counsel, Peter Fleischer, wants to see t-shirts replace the tie as standard business attire, saying the tie "constricts circulation to the brain."
In addition, the tie "acts as decorative camouflage for the business suit, designed to shield the middle-aged male physique, with its shrinking shoulders and protruding paunch, from feeling sufficiently self-conscious to hit the gym," Fleischer wrote in a recent letter to The Financial Times.
The letter, written in response to an article that praised the tie as appropriate business attire, was signed using Fleischer's Google job title.
Fleischer suggested replacing the tie with t-shirts, which he said do less to hide the shape of a man's body. "Wouldn't you like to know whether your business partners are fit? Why should you trust a man in business if he abuses his own body?," Fleischer wrote, saying casual attire may also result in greater creativity.
"If your fashion editor can hardly imagine a better garment for men to exhibit their personality, power and masculinity than wearing ties, well ... I work at Google. Our unofficial motto is, 'Be serious without a suit,'" Fleischer wrote.
Google, like many other technology companies, allows employees to dress casually for work. A company recruitment video posted on YouTube shows the range of attire, including t-shirts and dress shirts, worn by employees. None of the employees are shown wearing ties.
However, several of Google's senior managers are shown wearing ties in their official photographs, including Omid Kordestani, senior vice president of global sales and business development; Elliot Schrage, vice president of global communications and public affairs; and Vint Cerf, vice president and chief Internet evangelist.

(Pocket-lint) - The follow-up to the Kodak Zi6, the new Kodak Zi8 pocket camcorder from Kodak, brings with it 1080p video resolution and a host of new features, but should you be rushing out to get one? We took it out and about to find out.
Yes we know, chances are you already have the ability to record video in your mobile phone, and yes the notion of using a £149.99 ($180) pocket camcorder doesn't fill you with excitement over something a little more, well professional.
With the camcorder market heating up as more and more people turn to videoing their magical moments rather than just snapping them, Kodak's third pocket camcorder aims to appeal to those who want top quality recording in a pocketable device.
Pocketable is questionable. It's small, but not that small. In real terms it the size of two iPhone's stacked on top of each other. That means it will fit in your pocket, but your tailor would be unhappy about it riding in your shirt pocket.
The camcorder sports a 2.5-inch screen, a series of complicated buttons and, well, lots of space presumably for your hand. Space, it seems, Kodak has used out of the box to plaster with a big sticker that tells you what it can do. A sticker we must have to say was a bugger to get off.
Regardless of stickers, those complicated buttons found beneath the screen allow you to set the settings of the device, delete clips, play back what you've recorded and of course select the video or stills camera elements of the camcorder.
A central joystick, which is both fiddly and badly designed - it sits too deep in its recess - allows you to start recording, navigate through the menu system and use the digital zoom.
Around the edges are all the connectors. There is a pop-out flexible USB cable that allows you to connect to your computer for charging and transferring files. It's flexible now to allow greater movement - the previous version was fixed - and it means that you don't have to perch your laptop higher than the desk just to plug it in.
You'll also get an SD card slot, as the device has virtually no memory (enough to store the software on it) as well as an HDMI connector so you can view your movies back on an HD-Ready television. Older TV owners don't worry there is a standard AV-out as well.
Realising that the in-built microphone is likely to be awful in outside conditions (it is) there is also a welcomed 35.mm socket so you can opt for wireless or wired mics.
The only real switch on the device allows you to switch the camcorder from macro to landscape mode, a manual rather than automatic task.
In use and the camcorder is fairly easy to get recording. All you have to do is set the quality that you want to record at 1080p, 720p/60fps, 720p, WVGA or still (5 megapixels). Once you hit the record button you are recording. There are no trick moments or anything else to really worry about.
The lens is an F/2.8 fixed focus lens that means it works well in poor light conditions but that it won't auto focus. It's a good job too as there is no light or flash, and the upshot of that fixed lens is that it won't spend forever trying to focus on a subject (called hunting) as it moves around the screen, something that other pocket camcorders suffer from.
The move to include a fixed lens also means that you have to be a little more considered with your shots. Depth of field isn't an option here. Because it's fixed focus that's where the macro/landscape switch at the top of the unit comes in. Switching to macro mode manually changes the focus of the camera allowing you to get close up shots.
Then there is the digital zoom. It's there, but we wouldn't recommend using it, ever. Slow, jittery and well, digital, this should be used as a last resort if you really can't get closer to what you want to shoot.
As for sound, indoors in a quiet environment the sound will be fine. It's not the greatest of mics and that showed when we went outside in a windy environment. Luckily you can bring your own mic to the party, something we would highly recommend. The problem is, however, that with nowhere to connect it to, you're going to have to enlist the help of some gaffer tape (maybe that's what all the space at the bottom is for) to keep your hands free.
Get inside, so to speak, and you'll get Electronic Image Stablisation, which didn't seem to stablise our images that well (yes it was turned on) and software for the PC to help you upload it to YouTube, Facebook and lots of other social networking sites without too much fuss.
The software doesn't work on the Mac, although the camera can be plugged in. That said, you've probably got iMovie installed already, so it's not the end of the world.
Overall the Zi8 is a mixed bag. The internal mic is shockingly poor when you get outside and the controls on the device (i.e., settings and playback) very fiddly. In addition to that the lens isn't very wide so you'll have to stand back to get in all the action, something that if you're in a close environment with kids isn't all that easy.
On the upside you get 1080p support, a rechargeable battery, an SDHC card slot, USB dongle tucked inside, and HDMI connector so you can watch it back afterwards on your TV without having to drag around a bag of cables (just steal the one out of his PS3, Xbox 360 or Sky box).
The fixed lens approach is also welcomed, as you'll fail to take a blurry picture because it won't be hunting or getting confused over a tree branch that is waving in the distance.
Do we like the Kodak Zi8? On the whole the pros do outweigh the cons, but you need to be aware of those cons before parting with your cash to avoid being disappointed.

Naipaul vs Karnad, pro-Muslim and anti-Muslim and Fact vs Fiction: Negationism in Indian History
Pro-Muslim and anti-Muslim stances at the Literary Festival: It is strange to watch that the popular writers violate the code of decorum and start flaring-up with egoist outburst or emotions attacking other. The Mumbai Lit fest on 02-11-2912 (Friday) witnessed such a kind of major drama when veteran actor and theatre artist Girish Karnad slammed 2001 Nobel Prize laureate VS Naipaul[1] and called him anti-Muslim[2]. Karnad, who was present at the lit-fest on Friday to conduct a class on theatre, spoke at length about Naipaul. He said, "Now Mr Naipaul has written three books on India, three very big books and if you read them you will find that not one of them contains any reference to music. He has gone through the whole of India without responding to Indian music. Now I think that this only means that he is tone deaf. That's my reading of the situation but then there's no reason why he shouldn't be tone deaf. He has no music and therefore no conception of what the Muslims contributed to our history. This concept of what the Muslims did in Indian history clearly shows that he has no idea of at least the music bit." He also attacked Naipaul for his reported visit to BJP office after Babri mosque demolition in December 1992[3]. Dwelling on Naipaul's anti-Islam stance in his writing, he said, "Given that music defines our daily existence… you find it in the streets, in the restaurants and so on… you would expect an exploration of India to comment on that." It is not known how he had chosen the platform to vent out his ego to turn against Naipaul under the bogey of "anti-Muslim" stance, which was not at all relevant or subject of the Lit-Fest organized.
Music with the Saints of Bakti and Fakirs of Sufism[4]: Karnad said one had to understand different strains of music. The Bhakti and Sufi movements often overlapped. If one had to understand Indian culture, how Hindus and Muslims and the whole historical process reacted, one had to know music. "If you don't know music, you cannot understand it, and I think this is, let me state right away at the beginning, this is one problem with Mr. Naipaul's analysis of Indian culture." Referring to the analysis of Indian culture and music by certain Indologists, Karnad said the whole matrix was already there — the foreigners came, they looked at Indian culture, they saw pristine Hindu culture, they saw that it was corrupted and it was corrupted by Muslims. "Anyone who has read Naipaul's books will immediately recognise this matrix, which, he claims, he arrived at himself but it is already there in any Indological study long before Naipaul, nearly 200 years before he wrote his books… He writes, for instance, India was ravaged by the Muslim invaders. They ruled it severely, ravaged it for five or six centuries, and they left nothing and they brought poverty to India and so on." Not only did he cast aspersions on the credibility of some accounts in Naipaul's book "India: A Wounded Civilisation", Karnad also lashed out at the Nobel laureate for his critical views on the influence of Islam on India[5]. He went on to say Naipaul had no music and therefore no conception of what the Muslims contributed to Indian history. He also commented that he was not an Indian[6]. "Naipaul is a foreigner and he is entitled to his opinion. But why give an award to a man who calls Indian Muslims 'raiders' and 'marauders'? I have Muslim friends and I feel strongly about this," he said[7]. It is not known as to why he all of sudden he could not have relished the hard and bitter facts of the Muslims marauding India starting with the invasion of Sind in 712 CE. Ironically, orthodox Muslims do not accept music as a part of Islam, as it is "anathema / haram"!
Music alone does not decide the contribution of the Muslims to India: Karnad must have known about the nuances of Indian music and also that of the Arabs, which he decided to call "Muslim". It is not the fusion, as now the modern manipulators call the bastardization of mixing "western" and "Indian" styles of music together to create more noise to hate the original. The Muslims have done exactly the same thereby, the Indians were forced to accept such bastardized mixture of unsynchronizable notes. The Muslim Sufis actually tried to imitate Indian method of worship to convert Indians. Perhaps, any music critic could contend or settle with telling that every music form has certain individual characteristics. Therefore, if Karnad stands for the "contribution of Muslims to India", he should spell out what type of contribution he is talking about, including the destruction of temples, breaking of idols, raping Indian women and keeping them in their harems, just to mention a few. By pointing out this, the "secularists" could very well dub it as "communal", but truth is truth only, in spite of arguments put forward.
Karnard – not prepared to answer: Not everyone in the gathering, however, was willing to buy Karnad's arguments. When the session was thrown open to the audience, Naipaul's friend, writer Farrokh Dhondy, rose to ask a question. But Karnad refused to entertain any queries from him. "This is like a court where the prosecution has been presenting its case without giving any opportunity to the defence," Dhondy remarked in anger. This is the typical present day mentality of scholars as they take shelter under such pretext to escape from facing inconvenient questions from the common people or learned people. Many times, conferences, seminars and workshops have symposiums, memorial lectures and so on, but the speakers or paper-readers never care to respond or the organizers cleverly protect them by telling "No questions"! In other words, the speakers just come to talk about what he knew or what he could speak about conveniently just to get TA and DA. He is not bothered about the quality of his speech. Many times, the audience might not be interested in listening to such forced speeches making most of them to either sleep or talk about their personal affairs.
Did Muslims not destroy temples, break idols etc in India?: Even school and college students know that what Muslims have done to India, in spite of the secularization of social processes and white-washing the atrocities committed by them and totally removing such topics in the history or Civics text books. Any Indian visits temples, mutts, ghats and other places of religion, he could easily understand who were responsible for the broken temples, damaged sculptures, ruined mantaps, smashed idols etc., with the patch-up work carried on and restored by the Archaeological department. In fact, there have been inscriptions to vouchsafe that the Muslims did so. Of course, the Muslim chronicles have recorded with pride how the Mohammedans carried out their jihad in cleaning the kufruness in India by their holy act of demolishing temples and breaking idols. Therefore, it is ironical that the learned celebrity like Karnad should have tried to negate such historical past. In any case, he cannot prevent the candidates to read such stuff, when they prepare for competitive examinations, particularly, Civil Service Examinations every year.
Lit-Fest organizers – Secularists or communalists?: Anil Dharker, director of Mumbai LitFest, said on 03-11-2912 (Saturday) he was taken aback by playwright Girish Karnad's attack on Nobel laureate V.S. Naipaul, who was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the event[8]. "After all, we had invited him to speak about his journey in theatre, and Naipaul had nothing to do with that," Mr. Dharker said in a statement. "Even the packed audience had come to listen to Karnad's talk about theatre." Dharker said he was all for free speech but free speech pre-supposed a dialogue, not diatribe. "Karnad's two objections to Naipaul getting the Landmark Literature Live Lifetime Achievement Award are demonstrably false. Naipaul is of Indian origin, so we are not rewarding a foreigner. As for Naipaul being anti-Muslim, his wife Nadira is Muslim and her two children are being bought up as Muslim. Naipaul writes about how Muslim rulers and invaders of the past destroyed temples, monuments and so on. That's historical facts, and who can argue against that? That does not make V.S. Naipaul anti-Muslim," he pointed out. He also resented the implication that the organisers were somehow not secular. "I am a trustee of the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP), led by Teesta Setalvad, and we have been fighting over 200 cases in court against [Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra] Modi and his government over the 2002 violence." So by opposing Modi, one could become a secularist! In a statement, he added that, "I am all for free speech but free speech presupposes a dialogue, not a diatribe. Karnad's two objections to Naipaul getting the award are demonstrably false," Dharker said in a statement.
Taslima Nasreen opposing Naipaul and supporting Kanard – an opportunist act or showing that she is a Muslim: The controversial comments have sparked off a debate on web with author Taslima Nasreen tweeting in support of Karnad. Nasreen on Saturday tweeted that Naipaul was an Islamophobe. "Girish Karnad is right, Naipaul is tone deaf, wrote nothing about Indian music in his big books on India. Naipaul is a mean Islamophobe writer," the Bangladeshi writer posted on the micro-blogging website[9]. She also called Naipaul 'a male chauvinistic pig' for his earlier statement claiming that he found no woman worth his literary match. Responding to a tweet she claimed, while "Girish Karnad is neither a Hindu hater nor Muslim hater, Naipaul is definitely Muslim hater." She added that Naipaul would not have been so famous if he had written his books in one of the regional languages of India. "If Naipaul wrote his books in one of the Indian regional languages, he would have been an unknown writer even in India," she said. She commented that, "If Naipaul wrote his books in one of the Indian regional languages, he would have been an unknown writer even in India". Festival organiser Anil Dharker expressed dismay over the controversy saying, "We were all taken aback by Girish Karnad's attack on VS Naipaul. After all, we had invited him to speak about his journey in theatre and Mr Naipaul had nothing to do with that!". However, Karnard refused to apologize[10] for his outburst during the function, "I completely stand by my statement. I haven't made any mistake, rather I came prepared for it," Karnad said, as his remarks shocked the organisers of the Festival.
Naipaul – is a Hindu or Muslim?: Religion perhaps does not play any role in case of rich or popular people and celebrities, unless they are communal. V. S. Naipaul has married to a Muslim lady and his children are raised as Muslims only. Speaking about the incident later, Dhondy said Naipaul never made the remarks about Ayodhya Karnad had attributed to him. "In fact, his wife, Nadira, is a Muslim and so is his adopted son. By not letting me quiz him, Karnad imposed censorship, something that he himself vehemently opposes," Dhondy said[11]. Naipaul was married to English woman Patricia Hale for 41 years, until her death from cancer in 1996. According to an authorised biography by Patrick French, the two shared a close relationship when it came to Naipaul's work—Pat was a sort of unofficial editor for Naipaul—but the marriage was not a happy one in other respects[12]. Naipaul regularly visited prostitutes in London, and later had a long-term abusive affair with another married woman, Margaret Gooding, which his wife was aware of. Prior to Hale's death, Naipaul proposed to Nadira Naipaul, a divorced Pakistani journalist, born Nadira Khannum Alvi[13]. They were married two months after Hale's death, at which point Naipaul also abruptly ended his affair with Gooding. Nadira Naipaul had worked as a journalist for the Pakistani newspaper, The Nation, for ten years before meeting Naipaul. She was divorced twice before her marriage to Naipaul and has two children from a previous marriage, Maliha Naipaul and Nadir[14].
Karnad's views appeared in Hindusthan Times[15]: His interview appeared clearly proves that he wanted to white-wash the atrocities of the Muslims committed in India. Girish Karnad spoke to HT's Pankti Mehta on the sidelines of the Literature Live festival in Mumbai, a day after criticising VS Naipaul.
You were supposed to speak about your journey in theatre but criticised Naipaul. Isn't that misusing the forum you were given?
What would be the point of questioning the award after the festival was over? This was a far more engaging topic. I'm sure the audience was interested. I stand by what I said. And I did speak about theatre in the second part.
The organisers gave Naipaul the award for a lifetime of work, including fiction. You critiqued only his non-fiction work about India. Even if we grant that you have a point, how can you judge his work based on just this?
Naipaul himself says that his non-fiction work, particularly about India, is his most important. You can definitely judge a writer by what he thinks is his best work. Even if it weren't, it wouldn't matter to me if his outrageous statements were only 10% of his work. As an awarding body, you have to take their implications into account.
Was it fair to criticise someone who wasn't there to defend himself? You didn't allow (British writer who is Naipaul's friend) Farrukh Dhondy to speak at the end.
Even if we had the time, I wouldn't have opened it to a dialogue, because it was my talk, not anyone else's. It would have become a tussle between Dhondy and me. Naipaul has said so many things against the Muslims – have they been there to defend themselves when he did?
Mr Dhondy says Naipaul never made many of the statements you cited. What are your sources?
I can't vouch for each word I quoted because I wasn't there, but this is what has been recorded in articles in newspapers and on the internet. And I only cited stray incidents, while Naipaul has over and over again said in different media that he supports the Babri Masjid demolition. He has also said, in his own writings, that Muslims have destroyed Indian culture. That's what I have a major problem with.
How can Naipaul be anti-Muslim when he is married to a Muslim?
I don't want to comment on his private life. I'm sure he loves his wife very much. But as I said, he has written and made public statements about how Muslims have destroyed Indian culture. That's what I see in the open and what I spoke about.
Many Indian-origin writers live abroad, so what's wrong if he comments about this country?
Naipaul hadn't visited the country for the first 25 years of his life and has never lived in India. He is a foreigner. By the logic of origin, Mr Dhondy is Iranian!
V. S . Naipaul at Thinkfest in Goa[16]: Karnad was not there when Naipaul was sitting with a Muslim in Goa! Yes, a day after playwright Girish Karnad accused VS Naipaul of an anti-Muslim bias, Naipaul appeared at the Think fest in Goa alongside Arab poet Adonis. "…Adonis is a great Arab poet. Adonis is a secular poet. In India, this word has a very narrow meaning: it means belonging to one party or another. But for Adonis it is a much bigger idea; he wants to celebrate Mediterranean civilisation," said Naipaul. After all, the celebrities compromise!
Writers, actors, literary experts want awards, rewards and titles: The simple logic is that writers, actors, literary experts want awards, rewards and titles. If one gets and the other does not get, immediately, jealousy starts working vigorously. So by doing any gimmicks on any platform, if they could prove their loyalties to any vested groups, they do it immediately eyeing for their support. After all, for nomination one has to manipulate and pull strings, as otherwise, even the genuine artist or scholar or writer would not get any honour. Ironically, in some cases one has to nominate himself as "the best" to get award! So he / she cannot feel ashamed of doing so! Some of them aping for honours till date or even after death. There have been many such celebrities dreaming for posthumous awards!

Therefore, such motivated experimentation with entirely different intention cannot be appreciated for their so called syncretism or fusion to create anything new. If that intention had been genuine then, India would not have experienced the acts of Islamic fundamentalism, fanaticism and terrorism through which millions have been killed, lalhs tortured, thousands of temples destroyed, and so on.

It looks like Quentin Tarantino is moving forward with his next film "The Hateful Eight" after all.
While performing a "one-night only" live reading of the script in Los Angeles, Tarantino said he was working on a second draft to the film, according to Variety.
The reading, which cost audience members $150-$200 to attend, included Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Amber Tamblyn, Tim Roth, and Bruce Dern.
Back in January, Tarantino scrapped production on the film after he found out the script he gave to six people leaked online.
That resulted in a lawsuit with Gawker after the site published an article directing readers to a link to download a PDF of the script.
"The Hateful Eight" was set to be another Western, following the director's work on Oscar-nominated "Django Unchained."
Instead, Tarantino told Deadline he was going to publish the work as a book and then consider revisiting the idea on film in about five years.
According to Tarantino, the leaked version of the script, which resulted in the entire cast dying at the film's end, will serve as a first draft. The new version of the film, set in Wyoming a few years after the Civil War, will include a different ending that may be "removed or rewritten altogether."

In the second installment of The Book of Naughty, our favorite vengeful stuffed animal killer makes his victim a cake as fast as he can.
The latest video in 505 Games' Book of Naughty reinforces my observations from yesterday - this is a slasher film as seen from the eyes of the killer. If this were a movie it would focus on the victim, hearing the machine shut off, and going to investigate, only to have Naughty Bear pop up behind him for the kill. Instead, we get to see the basic planning that goes into Naughty's murderous rampage. It's a psycho killer confidential in video game form.

San Francisco
What you need to know before you go
San Francisco is a spirited melting pot of contrasting worlds. Whether it's hitting a club in the high-energy Mission District, shopping for vinyl in hippy Haight-Ashbury's post-Beat wonderland, or just relaxing by the surf at the tranquil Ocean Beach, San Francisco's bound to have something for everyone.
First-time visitors eager to explore famous landmarks will also find plenty to check off their bucket list. After all, this is a city where it's possible to jog across the Golden Gate Bridge, take a trolley to Fisherman's Wharf, tour Al Capone's cell, and wander the colorful alleys of Chinatown, all in 1 day.
Trending now in San FranciscoFeatured stories & fun stuff
Start planning your trip
More information about San Francisco
San Francisco resonates with a cool, quirky, and vibrant culture. From the Latin-influenced eateries and weird stores of the historic Mission area, to the ultra-trendy Haight and affluent paradise of Pacific Heights, there's an area suited for everyone. Visit the museums and art galleries in the center, and stop by the iconic Golden Gate Bridge for spectacular views across the glistening bay waters. Meanwhile, the city's green spaces are perfect for chilling out in.
Where to shop
Retail in San Francisco ranges from the most ritzy up-market designer stores to the most off-beat boutiques. Union Square is the place for splurging shoppers seeking top brands, with dozens of vast clothing stores surrounding the wide stone plaza, and a sublime white marble shopping center nearby. Head to the Haight for a hipster haven, and rifle through the ultra-cool records stores and vintage clothing shops. For a mad retail melting-pot visit the Mission, and marvel at the mix of weird independent stores and mouthwatering Mexican food-trucks.
Where to eat
If you crave some authentic Italian cuisine, then head to North Beach, known as Little Italy. Here, a range of upscale restaurants and budget eateries hand-toss pizza dough, pastas, and refreshing salads. Whether you dine in style or stop for a quick bite, you're sure to experience the best of San Francisco's Italian food. The Mission is renowned for its Latin food influence, but also offers a wide selection of artisan restaurants and cafés, much like he Haight. To sample some of the city's freshest seafood, check out the chic restaurants along the Marina, and treat yourself to a bread-bowl of clam chowder with a side helping of spectacular views.
What to see and do
Stop by the glowing, copper-colored Golden Gate Bridge and you can take in the full, unforgettable sweep of the glistening Golden Gate Strait waters and the sparkling city skyline beyond. Nearby, you'll discover Golden Gate Park, a huge, sweeping stretch of green space consisting of flower gardens, tranquil lakes and play areas for the kids. If the park doesn't satisfy your hunger for natural beauty, then head across the bridge to the Mount Tamalpais State Park, a lush hilly area where hiking trails criss-cross through the forests, leading to curved coves and hidden sandy beaches.
Travel tips
Getting around San Francisco can be a little confusing at first, due to its complex cross-grid system and lack of left-turn lanes on the key city streets. Once you get the hang of it, driving is an easy way to get around, but the city's reliable bus system is just as smooth. San Francisco is a great walking city, with a mix of architectural styles to gaze at, stores to stop at, and unbeatable views at the top of steep hills - but be watchful when walking at night around the outskirts of the central areas.

Children's Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
1. Mother*, I love you; mother, I do.
Father in Heaven has sent me to you.
When I am near you, I love to hear you
Singing so softly that you love me too.
2. Mother, I love you; mother, I do.
I want to help you because I love you.
I want to mind you; I want to find you
Happy and smiling because I love you.
Mother, I love you; I love you, I do.
*Alternate word: daddy

Apple's hidden camera patents
Submitted by drink on
I haven't even read 1984 but I know what a Telescreen is; a fictional-cum-real display that doesn't just show you images, but sees you, too. While this is clearly a useful device, not knowing whether you're being watched is a worrying possibility. And Apple Computer, self-appointed guardian of virtue, has not one or two but three patents designed to permit a display to watch the watcher.

President Bush considers the release of photographs of flag-draped military coffins a reminder of the fallen troops' sacrifice but believes family privacy should be respected, the White House said Friday.
Defense Department officials said the photos, issued last week and posted on an Internet site, should not have been made public under a policy prohibiting media coverage of human remains. Some activists argue that the photos, which were released last week, underscore the war's human cost.
"America knows full well that our men and women are serving and serving brilliantly both in Iraq and around the world. ... America is aware this is a war against terrorism," said Trent Duffy, a spokesman for Bush. But, he said, "the message is [that] the sensitivity and privacy of families of the fallen must be the first priority."
The photographs were released to Russ Kick, a First Amendment activist who had filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act.
Kick posted dozens of photographs of U.S. war dead arriving at the nation's largest military mortuary at Dover Air Force Base, prompting the Defense Department to bar further release of the photographs to media outlets Thursday.
Lt. Col. Gary Keck, a spokesman for the Defense Department, said the release of the photographs appeared to be in conflict with policy.
"They're not happy with the release of the photos," said Col. Jon Anderson, a spokesman for the Dover base.
Duffy said he did not know whether Bush had personally weighed in on the Defense Department's move to overturn the base's decision or whether Bush considered the release of the photos an affront to the families.
Many photos misidentified
The photos were taken at the Dover base, and most were of flag-draped cases used by the military to transport remains. But Anderson said Friday that the photos also included images of the remains of the astronauts who died aboard the space shuttle Columbia arriving at Dover, as well as casualties from Afghanistan.
A spokesman for NASA said at least 18 rows of photos on the site were of the Columbia astronauts.
According to his Web site, Kick, who has not returned telephone calls or e-mails from The Associated Press, requested all Dover photos from Feb. 1, 2003, to the present. "He wasn't distinguishing between what he wanted," Anderson said. "He just wanted everything."
At a rally in Dover last month, war protesters criticized Bush for continuing the practice of previous administrations of not allowing the public or media to witness the arrival of remains at the base.
"We need to stop hiding the deaths of our young. We need to be open about their deaths," said Jane Bright of West Hills, Calif., whose son, Evan Ashcraft, 24, was killed in combat in July.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., agreed with the policy banning photos from Dover in an interview Friday on NBC's "Today" show because "there's no ceremony held. It's a caretaking event."
But Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., who served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, said photos of caskets coming home from Vietnam had a tremendous impact on the way Americans came to view that war.
"As people began to see the reality of it and see the 55,000 people who were killed coming back in body bags, they became more and more upset by the war," he said. "This is not about privacy. This is about trying to keep the country from facing the reality of war."
The Defense Department's move came a day after a military contractor fired a cargo worker because her photograph of flag-draped remains was published on the front page of Sunday editions of The Seattle Times.

When Shah Rukh Khan acted in girls' college
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who wanted to be a sportsperson and whose plan was spoilt by a back injury, started his tryst with theatre with a play at a women's college.
Shah Rukh, who was a student at Delhi University's prestigious Hans Raj College, first performed at the Lady Shriram College.
Narrating his journey to becoming an actor, the 47-year-old said: "I thought I would be a sportsman but I injured myself. I was under observation for seven to eight days and bedridden for a month and a half. I had hurt my lower back and I felt very bad. For six to eight months, I was extremely depressed. I started going back to my school."
"My mom said 'Try and do something in the evening to fill your space'. I started doing this play called 'Annie Get Your Gun' at Lady Shriram College - one of the attractions being that it was a girl's college and I was one of the few guys who was chosen to act there - eight boys and 80 girls."
Shah Rukh narrated the story on BIG CBS PRIME's "India's Prime Icon". The episodes featuring King Khan will be on air Friday and Saturday.

Take a pair of 563-hp Mercedes SLS AMG sports cars, combine with two racing drivers, add a bunch of 3D cameras and you've got a 3D film shot at 162 mph. Here's the 2D trailer.
Mercedes hooked up with Sky's 3D channel to shoot what seems like an expensive advertising piece around the Isle of Man TT course. Throw in the cost of ex-F1 star David Coulthard and rally driver Robbie Head and it's probably a bit more money, but also a bit more fun. It premiers this weekend in England, though we're sure every Mercedes dealer in the world will have a copy in their showrooms before too long.
We're not sure how they qualified this as being the "world's fastest 3D film," but Gullwing doors in 3D? Awesome.

President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Saturday led the nation in mourning the death of the young woman who was brutally gang-raped and tortured here.
Both Mukherjee and Manmohan Singh said the victim's death in a Singapore hospital would not go in vain, and that India should become a safer place for women.
The 23-year-old, who suffered multiple organ failure after the Dec 16 rape, passed away at 4.45 a.m. (2.15 IST) with her distraught family and Indian diplomats by her side at Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital.
Condoling her death, President Mukherjee called the victim, a trainee physiotherapist who worked in Delhi, a "true hero".
"I am deeply distressed by the unfortunate demise of the girl who passed away."
Mukherjee said: "She was a brave and courageous girl who fought till the very last minute for her dignity and her life. She is a true hero and symbolizes the best in Indian youth and women.
"I convey my condolences to her parents and family who have faced this adversity with fortitude and grace. I pray that they have the strength to bear this loss.
"The nation will mourn the passing of this brave daughter of India."
Stressing that her passing away should not be in vain, the president said the government would "do everything possible to ensure that such an incident never happens again".
He urged "everyone to maintain peace and calm" and told the "authorities to bring the perpetrators of this ghastly crime to justice".
Recognising the "emotions and energies" the gang-rape had generated in the capital and elsewhere, Manmohan Singh said India genuinely desires change.
"It was up to us all to ensure that her death will not have been in vain", he said as he joined the nation "in conveying to her family and friends" his deepest condolences at this terrible loss.
"I want to tell them and the nation that while she may have lost her battle for life, it is up to us all to ensure that her death will not have been in vain.
"We have already seen the emotions and energies this incident has generated. These are perfectly understandable reactions from a young India and an India that genuinely desires change," he said in a message.
It would be a true homage to her memory, Manmohan Singh added, if people channelise their emotions and energies "into a constructive course of action".
"The need of the hour is a dispassionate debate and inquiry into the critical changes that are required in societal attitudes.
"The government is examining, on priority basis, the penal provisions that exist for such crimes and measures to enhance the safety and security of women," he said in his statement.
The prime minister expressed the hope that "the entire political class and civil society will set aside narrow sectional interests and agenda to help us all reach the end that we all desire - making India a demonstrably better and safer place for women to live in".
"I pray for the peace of the departed soul and hope that her family will have the strength to bear this grievous loss."
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit appealed for calm. She described the woman's death as "truly, terribly sad news".
"In being calm and peaceful... we can reflect what we need to do in future," she added.
The horrific gang-rape, in which the rapists used an iron rod to torture her, triggered angry demonstrations across India against growing crimes against women. A policeman died in one such protest in Delhi.
