AUSTIN, Texas — For months now, professional sandwich chasers, John S. and Mike L., have been hot on the trail investigating sandwich crash landings in cities across the U.S. and sharing their findings with an audience of believers on YouTube. Their latest investigation has uncovered startling new evidence that reveals up to one million free sandwiches are on an impact trajectory heading for Earth.

pls. help , who knows :
simple ,but, I guess, useful information after answered: I need an URL to download date/time information from, on client's machine ( inside desktop application ) , another worlds , to send request to ( POST/GET ) and get response from with current date and time in some comfort to parse format ( .txt or .csv for example ) like for example we download stocks data ( http://www.gummy-stuff.org/Yahoo-data.htm )
I've looked through www but can't find any server / web resource URL that responds with date/time.
Who knows what web resource ( url , server address ) responds with current date/time ?
( via HTTP protocol , POST/GET , server should return time as a HTTP response in separate file (.txt , .csv , .xml ) or as a POST/GET parameters )
Thanks in advance for your help.

RT::Client::REST::SearchResult -- Search results representation.
my $iterator = $search->get_iterator; my $count = $iterator->count; while (defined(my $obj = &$iterator)) { # do something with the $obj }
This class is a representation of a search result. This is the type of the object you get back when you call method "search()" on RT::Client::REST::Object-derived objects. It makes it easy to iterate over results and find out just how many there are.
count Returns the number of search results. This number will always be the same unless you stick your fat dirty fingers into the object and abuse it. This number is not affected by calls to "get_iterator()". get_iterator Returns a reference to a subroutine which is used to iterate over the results. Evaluating it in scalar context, returns the next object or "undef" if all the results have already been iterated over. Note that for each object to be instantiated with correct values, retrieve() method is called on the object before returning it to the caller. Evaluating the subroutine reference in list context returns a list of all results fully instantiated. WARNING: this may be expensive, as each object is issued retrieve() method. Subsequent calls to the iterator result in empty list. You may safely mix calling the iterator in scalar and list context. For example: $iterator = $search->get_iterator; $first = &$iterator; $second = &$iterator; @the_rest = &$iterator; You can get as many iterators as you want -- they will not step on each other's toes. new You should not have to call it yourself, but just for the sake of completeness, here are the arguments: my $search = RT::Client::REST::SearchResult->new( ids => [1 .. 10], object => sub { # Yup, that's a closure. RT::Client::REST::Ticket->new( id => shift, rt => $rt, ); }, );
RT::Client::REST::Object, RT::Client::REST.

The Great Leap
When an American basketball team travels to Beijing for an exhibition game, the coaches find themselves in a conflict that runs deeper than the strain between the countries, and a young player's actions abroad become the accidental focus of attention. Building tension right up to the buzzer, this sharp-witted new drama directed by Tony Award winner BD Wong is about much more than making the shot, as two men with a past and one teen with a future struggle for their own personal victories.
We're Sorry!

outstay your welcome
outstay (one's) welcome
1. To remain a guest in a place, especially someone's home, for too long, to the point where the host no longer wishes one to stay. After the cool reception I received at breakfast, it was apparent that I had outstayed my welcome at the cottage of my father's friend.
2. By extension, to have one's presence become unwanted in a particular environment. The polls make it clear that this candidate has outstayed her welcome in this primary race. Though wildly popular for a short time, the product simply outstayed its welcome in the market, and can now be found in bargain bins everywhere.

Buffer seals incorporating slide rings
S9B profiles
RSB profiles
RSB profiles (fig. 2) have a nitrile rubber (NBR) energizer and a PTFE slide ring.
The energizer is designed to hold the slide ring in the proper and permanent sealing position against the rod seal side of the housing. Conventional buffer seal designs can shift axially within the groove and push fluid into the rod seal groove when subjected to abrupt pressure peaks. This ultimately causes rod seal failure. However, the patented design of RSB profiles prevents any axial shifting of the slide ring. Therefore, these profiles protect the rod seal in applications where conventional buffers are not sufficient. In combination with grooves in the energizer outside diameter and notches in the front face of the slide ring (fig. 3), the protrusions also ensure that pressure can return to the system side.
RSB profiles are suitable for pressures up to 400 bar (5 800 psi) in medium to heavy duty applications and are available in inch sizes (→ Size list [pdf]). For additional information, refer to RSB profile data.
On request, for the most demanding applications of large equipment, SKF can manufacture these profiles with polyamide (PA) slide rings for additional extrusion and wear resistance.

Wes Jackson, founder and executive director of Brooklyn Bodega, knew what he was doing when he decided on the name of the website as it launched in 2005.
"In Brooklyn, in New York, you could go to any corner and find a bodega," he said. "Bodegas take a pulse of what's going on in the neighborhood and gives it back to the people."
Bodegas don't demand that people keep up with a trend because the people direct the trends. And they are accessible. This is Jackson's aim with Brooklyn Bodega – the online community that listens and gives the fans what they want. "We are for the people, by the people," he said.
Brooklyn Bodega is probably best known for its Brooklyn Hip Hop festival, which is held every July. The festival has grown in recent years, and this year, Q-Tip will be headlining.
"It is a celebration of the borough of Brooklyn, as well as hip hop music and culture," Jackson said. "It is a world-class festival in the spirit of the New Orleans Jazz Festival where we can celebrate and perpetuate progressive aspects of the music."
As the festival continues to grow, so does the website. Jackson is looking at taking it from its virtual space to a physical destination, where fans of the genre could congregate and share ideas. He is planning to open up a restaurant in the Dekalb Market in conjunction with the festival's July 11th start date that will serve as a eating place, a bar, a music spot – in other words, a bodega.
"We're looking to bring back that energy of music retail…we want more of an anchor, a place to congregate," he said.
With record stores closing, Jackson feels the hip hop community needs a "town square" atmosphere to bring fans together. The idea has been sitting in his head for 10 years, and now seems to be the right place and time.
The Brooklyn Bodega is not Bronx-born Jackson's first business venture. The entrepreneur has done his time in the music business, creating a promotions company in the 90s and a digital marketing company in 2002. He has produced concerts for big names like Nas and De La Soul.
Jackson currently teaches at York College in Queens, where he will soon be teaching a hip hop history course.

University of Hawai'i Cancer Center receives $4.3 million
Grants will support promising science with potential to improve cancer treatmentUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Director of Communications & Community Affairs, University of Hawaii Cancer Center
An influx of new funding to the University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center from the National Cancer Institute will support exploration into promising areas of cancer research. Here's a look at the latest grants and how they will help scientists target specific cancers and potentially change the future of cancer care.
Impact of obesity on breast, prostate and colorectal cancer risk
A four-year grant for $1.4 million from the National Cancer Institute was awarded to Iona Cheng, Ph.D. of the Center's Epidemiology Program. She will examine the impact of characteristics related to obesity, dietary and lifestyle behaviors, and genetic predisposition for their effects on breast, prostate and colorectal cancer risk among African Americans and Latinos. This research will utilize data from the Multiethnic Cohort Study, one of the largest studies of its kind, and the most ethnically diverse. The Multiethnic Cohort Study follows more than 215,000 men and women primarily of African-American, Japanese, Latino, Native Hawaiian and Caucasian origin. Nearly half of participants in the study are from Hawaiʻi.
Malignant transformation leading to squamous cell carcinoma
Patricia Lorenzo, Ph.D. received a five-year $1.4 million grant to pursue identification of novel pathways involved in the malignant transformation in the skin which leads to squamous cell carcinoma. Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is a type of non-melanoma skin cancer that arises from the skin cells that form the epidermis. Incidence rates have soared with nearly 250,000 new cases reported each year in the U.S.
Lorenzo will explore the role of a protein called RasGRP1, which modulates Ras. In healthy skin cells, Ras plays an important role in cell proliferation. In cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, Ras is overactivated, driving proliferation signals out of proportion and contributing to the malignant transformation of the skin cells -or keratinocytes. Although previous attempts to control Ras have been made through therapeutic interventions, Ras has proven to be a poor target for drugs. Lorenzo said further study of the RasGRP1 pathway in skin will be critical not only to understand its role in skin cancer, but also to validate further explorations as a molecular target for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma treatment.
How asbestos causes mesothelioma
Haining Yang, Ph.D. is the recipient of a five-year, $1.5 million grant to study the mechanism by which asbestos causes malignant mesothelioma. Research will aim to identify new molecular targets for intervention and help scientists develop novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of malignant mesothelioma. Malignant mesothelioma is a deadly cancer caused by a variety of risk factors including environmental exposure to asbestos. Due to a poor understanding of how asbestos causes malignant transformation of mesothelial cells, the aggressive nature of the disease and the very limited types of treatment options available, median survival from diagnosis is one year. "Since there is no effective treatment for mesothelioma, finding ways to interfere with asbestos carcinogenesis has tremendous public health significance," said Yang.

We would like to congratulate our five winners! Sheri (#128), Elaine (#41), Renee (#148), Carrie (#201), & Michelle (#32) on winning these books! Thank you again for entering and your love & support for this book! This is a big week for our family as my book, "The Good Life for Less," will be hitting bookstore shelves on January 2nd. I have waited so many years for this book of my words to be printed and I can think of no better way to start the year than with this big moment in our life. I know my readers are very frugal (that is why you are here, after all!) so I wanted to share with you a little bit about why this book would be a great investment for your bookshelf and also offer you the opportunity to win a copy of it to save your family the expense of buying it! Photo Credit: Nancy Lary Studios Here is a little bit more background on what my book and family is all about: THE GOOD LIFE FOR LESS is about thrifty homemaking with heart. As a Walmart Mom and spokesperson for companies like Kenmore and Minute Maid, I am sharing the tricks and tips our family has adopted to help other families create a quality life while being able to stay within budget. Filled with clever ideas for families living on a budget, THE GOOD LIFE FOR LESS provides guidance, tools, and inspiration to run happy households, such as: Create a family budget book to track what money goes where, and utilize one of the free financial programs out there, such as Mint.com, to find spending leaks, or try out your spending habits by adopting the envelope system or a cash-only approach to spending. One way to jump-start your savings is by paying for everything with bills, and accumulating the change into a savings account. Take advantage of online freebies such as Ebates.com and Swagbucks.com to find discounts and bonuses for shopping for necessities. Delicious and affordable recipes such as rosemary ranch chicken kabobs, baked blueberry donuts with a lemon glaze, Italian veggie and pasta soup, and parmesan crusted pork chops that stretch every cent and utilize the efficient tools in your kitchen, such as the slow-cooker, to enable you more time with your kids instead of behind the stove. Many people take advantage of the layaway programs featured at retailers, but also try to buy in bulk, shop off-season, and subscribe to daily deal sites, so your budget won't take such a hit around the holidays. Buying in bulk lets you save money and pay less than at the grocery store, especially for meat, which you can divide up into 1 or 2 pound packages and freeze. Take a look at your bills and utilities; be sure there is no double billing (perhaps a credit card got swiped twice at a register). If everyone in your house has a cell phone, do you really need a traditional landline plan, or could you switch to a nearly free provider like Vonage. Know what your appliances cost; one easy way to save on gas bills is to do your laundry with cold water, which cuts between 50-90% off a load of wash using hot water. THE GOOD LIFE FOR LESS will give you this and more information, tools, and inspiration to maximize every cent of the family paycheck.

The above still shows Renoir's style to give spatial depth by which the interaction of characters add to the drama. Free grouping in space ( simultaeneously foreground and background groups or single character in relaton to the others). Such staging allows interaction between foreground and actions on the background. In this scene where Octave brings airmen Jurieu for the weekend at La Coliniere there is a painful silence. The guests are aware of the gossip linking the dashing airman to the Marquise who bravely tries to explain her part in making Jurieu a national hero. In the backdrop we see the nervous Marquis Robert who knows the truth and is apprehensive if his wife would be able to pull it off.
Camera by continuously tracking, panning, re-framing allows Renoir to compose the shots in terms of time and movement. Renoir and Bunuel are two directors that I can think of who prefers mid-shots to close-ups. Closeups and point-of-view shots are rare.

When we think about mega comic book cult star Lobo — the extraterrestrial bounty hunter who bit off the fingers of the woman who delivered him — we naturally always think of a hairless CG cat voiced by Bette Midler. So it makes perfect sense that the director of the horrendous flop Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, Brad Peyton, will be writing and directing the new Lobo movie.
According to Deadline, Warner Bros has tapped Peyton to rewrite and direct Lobo, as a live-action film.
While it's not entirely fair to judge Peyton entirely by his Cats & Dogs contribution, let it be known that he has also directed Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, where the Rock bounced 3D objects off his pecs. In short, he's known for goofball comedy sequels.
Which leaves us with mixed feelings. Sure, Lobo is a crazy potty mouthed alien who has killed everyone who has ever cared for him, but the creature is so much more than that. Part of what made Lobo so great was how he poked fun at the world of hyper-serious comic book characters in the great Keith Giffen tradition — so we're pretty nervous to see someone with this particular type of comedy background take on a character who's a bit more complicated (but still funny and very very violent). Only time will tell.

For those on the fence about attending MineCon, the inaugural Minecraft convention to be held Nov. 18 and 19 in Las Vegas, Mojang is hoping an early look at its next two games will sweeten the deal.
All attendees will receive codes for the alpha versions of Scrolls and Cobalt once the games are ready.
For those wondering how much a pass to the con costs, it's $99 until Sept. 30, $139 after that. Of course, you have to get to Vegas and get a hotel room there, too, though MineCon did get a group rate from the Mandalay Bay. See here for more information.

Interop 2008 Broadcom has refreshed its lineup of Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches, bestowing them with smaller 65nm chips in time to show at Interop in Las Vegas.
The merchandise covers 5-, 8-, 16-, and 24-port switch models. There's also a new big switch with 48 ports of 1GbE as well as four 10Gb ports.
The company is hoping the denser portage and lowered power consumption from using 65nm chip technology will appeal to OEMs for their finished networking products.
Broadcom's new BCM53310 series is made up of a 16- and 24-port GbE Layer 2 switch, which support both unmanaged and smart switch configurations.
Broadcom claims the BCM53310 series will provide a 40 per cent reduction in total system power using the smaller chips. The switch includes an AutoVoip feature, which allows voice packets on a network to be prioritized to support VoIP phones.
The 8-port BCM53118 is a single-chip switch that supports a full L2 feature set. Broadcom is advertising a 30 per cent reduction in power in full traffic mode versus its earlier iteration of 8-port silicon solution.
The BCM53115 is a 5-port GbE switch targeted at consumer devices and home networking equipment.
Broadcom's latest switch for big business is the BCM56624 — a 48-port GbE plus 4-port 10GbE switch using a 65nm chip. The switch has carrier-class features such as IPv4 and IPv6 routing, as well as security mechanism like IPFix and large access control lists (ACLs).
Of course, no announcement would be complete without taking a swing at the green angle — and Broadcom is happy to comply. There's there the power-saving benefits of 65nm chips, and that song and dance is certainly on Broadcom's checklist.
The release also prominently boasts that Broadcom "supports the current industry initiatives to remove lead and other hazardous materials from all products," but there's no real mention if it has actually taken any action.
At least it's thinking about the penguins. That's something. We guess. ®

If you haven't tried the Google Ngram Viewer, you're missing out on a word-geek treat. Its a database of all the words in five million books published since the 16th century. You can plug words or phrases in and get a chart showing how popularity of the word waxes and wanes over the centuries. I plugged in a bunch of Carolinas words just to see what happens. Here's what I found:
- Piedmont -- Except for one surge around 1670 (the year English settlers landed at Charleston), the word was virtually invisible until the 1880s. Usage reached its highest level in the 1940s, and has fallen since then.
- Carolina -- Usage surged briefly around 1670, but began rising dramatically around the time of the Civil War. After about 1940, it trended generally downward until the 1980s, when it rose moderately again.
- Moonshine -- Perhaps not surprisingly, usage zips upward around 1919, when the Prohibition era began.
- Fish camp -- Not used much until the 20th century. Usage spiked around 2000.
- Tarheel -- First came into print in the late 19th century; usage increased dramatically after 1920.
- Barbecue -- First crept into print around 1750, but didn't gather steady momentum until about a century later. Usage gradually increased until the 1980s, when it skyrocketed.

Forests Finally Emerging as Climate Issueby -
The representatives of more than 100 countries attending December's U.N. climate conference in Bali, Indonesia, finally focused on the important role tropical forests play in global warming.
Developed countries have pledged almost $300 million to help forest-rich developing countries prepare for their new roles and responsibilities in the post Kyoto international climate-change agreement set to start after 2012.
Deforestation, especially in the tropics, has been a global problem for decades, with serious implications for the livelihoods of poor people living in the forests as well as global biodiversity.
Despite the fact that deforestation accounts for about 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, tropical forests have thus far been excluded from international climate agreements, including the Kyoto Protocol.
In Bali, an agreement about Reducing Emissions from Deforestation in Developing Countries (REDD) was reached to include the reduction of tropical deforestation as part of the solution to climate change. Although the details are still being worked out, the new agreement will give significant roles and responsibilities to developing countries, especially those with large forest areas such as Indonesia and Brazil.
The recognition by developed countries of the need for immediate funding to developing countries to strengthen forest governance - and the fact that developing countries must also share responsibility to fight climate change - is an important development. It has led to the launch of the World Bank's new Forest Carbon Partnership Facility, which was partly shaped with input from WRI and will compensate developing countries for reducing CO2 emissions related to maintenance of their forests.
Indonesia, for example, has already carried out a forest governance assessment, with the assistance of WRI, the World Bank, and other organizations. Indonesia's initiative will serve as an example for the establishment of forest-carbon programs in other developing countries.
Movement like this must happen now, because only by immediately addressing current forest governance problems - such as the need for better law enforcement, distribution of benefits, and access to forest lands - will countries be prepared for a carbon-constrained future.

The Central Connecticut softball team will host the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights for two of only six remaining NEC games for the Blue Devils. CCSU currently ranks second in the NEC with an 11-3 record and FDU is 7-7 in the conference. The Knights currently hold the sixth spot, only two away from NEC tournament qualification.
The Blue Devils hope to sweep the Knights and inch closer to clinching a tournament berth.
Last season, Central lost both games of the doubleheader against FDU by a score of 3-2. In the last four seasons, the two teams have traded sweeps and the Blue Devils are 8-8 overall with the Knights since 2004.
This season, Fairleigh Dickinson split with conference leader Robert Morris, earning a 3-2 win and suffering a 1-0 loss.
The Blue Devils are currently ranked 31st in the nation in batting average and 28th in slugging percentage. Sophomore Laura Messina, CCSU's winningest pitcher and career record-holder in shutouts and strikeouts, is ranked ninth nationally in shutouts. She is also ranked 16th in walks allowed per seven innings.

A former Christian artist, Katy Perry rebranded herself as a larger-than-life pop star and rose to prominence during the summer of 2008. Before she topped the charts with songs like "I Kissed a Girl" and "California Gurls," though, she spent the better part of a decade recording music under a different name. Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson (or Katy Hudson, as she billed herself on her 2001 gospel album) was born on October 25, 1984, in Santa Barbara, California. Raised in a religious household as the daughter of two pastors, she was forbidden to listen to secular bands as a child, although a childhood slumber party introduced her to the music of Alanis Morissette and Freddie Mercury. Religious music remained at the forefront, however, and Katy released a self-titled Christian album in 2001 under her original name. She would later abandon the genre (and her given surname) in favor of a pop career.
At age 17, she began working with hitmaker Glen Ballard, who had produced and co-written for Alanis Morissette. Several years later, she teamed up with the Matrix, a Grammy-nominated production/songwriting team whose résumé included collaborations with Avril Lavigne, Shakira, and Korn. Tired of producing music for other artists, the Matrix had plans to record an album of their own, with Perry serving as one of the group's two singers. The project was ultimately shelved, but not before Perry appeared in a 2004 write-up by Blender magazine, who hailed her as "the Next Big Thing!"
With the Matrix's unreleased album sitting in the vaults at Sony Records, Perry went back to the drawing board and began working on a solo album for Columbia. The project was eventually canceled, although two of its songs were later given to Kelly Clarkson, who scored a Top 40 hit with "I Do Not Hook Up" several years later. Perry (who, by this point, had shed her original surname due to its similarity to actress Kate Hudson) then signed with Capitol, who encouraged their new client to write her own music and helped establish her image as a boisterous, tongue-in-cheek pop star. Perry's debut single, "Ur So Gay," generated a small buzz with its mischievous lyrics and clever music video, but it was "I Kissed a Girl" that proved to be her breakthrough hit, topping the charts in 20 countries and pushing its accompanying album, 2008's One of the Boys, into the Top Ten in America. Perry supported her debut by joining the Warped Tour that summer, where she toured alongside her boyfriend at the time, Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes. Meanwhile, "Hot N Cold" became her second multi-platinum hit, "Thinking of You" (one of the album's three songs written solely by Perry) cracked the Top 40, and "Waking Up in Vegas" cracked the Top Ten.
Such success meant that Katy Perry had officially become one of the industry's biggest pop stars, celebrated as much for her outsized behavior and outrageous fashion choices as the music itself. She continued touring through the summer of 2009 (albeit without McCoy, whose boyfriend status had been revoked earlier that year) and found time to tape an installment of MTV Unplugged, which was released in November. Meanwhile, she worked on a new album and started up a whirlwind romance with comedian Russell Brand, eventually becoming his wife, a short-lived marriage that would last for only a year. She would later begin an on-again, off-again relationship with adult-alternative singer/songwriter John Mayer. Recording sessions for her album wrapped up in early 2010, and Perry scored her second number one single with "California Gurls," which was released that May. The accompanying album, Teenage Dream, followed in August. The album was reissued in 2012 as Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection, with the bonus track "Wide Awake," earning Perry a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance.
In 2013, Perry announced the release of Prism, her fourth album, with the number one single "Roar." Written and produced in collaboration with a host of artists and producers (including Sia, Diplo, Max Martin, Bloodshy, and Emeli Sandé), it was inspired musically by Robyn, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, and Prince, and lyrically by her past relationships. Appearing in October, it hit number one in the U.S. and U.K., followed by another Billboard chart-topper, "Dark Horse," featuring Juicy J. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi

Boulder's proposed ordinance restricting panhandling at certain locations, such as ATMs, parking pay stations, outdoor dining areas and playgrounds, goes too far in restricting the content of speech and won't be enforced in an even-handed manner, the American Civil Liberties Union warned in a letter to the City Council.
Mark Silverstein, legal director of the state ACLU chapter, and Barry Satlow, chairman of the Boulder County chapter, argued in a letter sent Thursday that the language of the ordinance would prohibit restaurant patrons from asking their dining companions for money for the tip and teenagers from asking a parent for money at the ATM.
"Of course, Boulder does not want the ordinance to be enforced in these situations," the letter says. "The ordinance will not be enforced in an even-handed manner. Instead, it will be enforced selectively, only against persons who everyone knows are the real targets of this ordinance."
The state ACLU is involved in a lawsuit challenging a Grand Junction ordinance that banned panhandling at night, among other provisions.
The state arm of the ACLU handles litigation, while the local chapters' role is restricted to advocacy.
Asked if the ACLU is considering legal action to stop Boulder's ordinance, Silverstein said he never talks about a lawsuit that hasn't been filed.
"I always hope that a letter or some correspondence will be persuasive," he said.
Boulder city spokeswoman Sarah Huntley said the intent of the ordinance was to protect people from being asked for money in situations where they might feel trapped, such as an outdoor dining area, children's play area or bus stop, or in areas where they would already have their wallet or purse open, such as ATMs, pay stations and self-service fuel pumps.
"It is the city's position that we've already attempted to make these restrictions as limited as possible," she said. "There are many other communities in our area that have more limitations. That said, we recognize there could be some scenarios where there's a question about whether they apply. It's important to go back to the intent of the ordinance to balance people's right to enjoy a public space with people's free speech rights."
Blanket bans on panhandling are not constitutional, as courts have repeatedly found that the First Amendment right to free speech includes the right to ask for money.
However, some restrictions on time, place and manner have been upheld by the courts.
Silverstein said just because a city has an ordinance on the books doesn't mean it would survive a challenge.
Boulder already has a law against aggressive panhandling and against panhandling on some areas of the Pearl Street Mall and the University Hill commercial district.
In the letter, the ACLU says the proposed panhandling ordinance, combined with a recent change that restores the possibility of jail time for first-time municipal offenders, have the potential to send people to jail for a "peaceful, polite, non-threatening expression that poses no risk to public safety."
The Boulder City Council has passed the new panhandling restrictions on first reading. A second reading and public hearing are scheduled for June 3.
The ordinance is part of a broader effort to help non-homeless people feel safer downtown and on the municipal campus and reduce illegal activity in the area.
However, Councilwoman Suzanne Jones said she is concerned the restrictions don't address a real problem while reinforcing the impression that the city is targeting the homeless.
Jones said city officials have heard from many residents, some of whom want panhandling banned and transients gone from downtown and others who want the city to do more in the face of six recent deaths of homeless people here.
"I fear that these panhandling ordinances will just anger the ACLU and the folks who want to see us do more for the homeless without meaningfully doing something about the problems with the transient population," she said. "I worry it's a lose-lose. We're hearing from two sides. I worry this inflames one side without satisfying the other."

Principal, San Francisco - Bay Area
At BCG, Storytellers synthesize complex information and ideas. They believe in bringing the whole team together to get a broader perspective. Mitch goes deep to understand challenges.
The most interesting experience I've had at BCG was helping to redesign the digital marketing strategy for a global retailer. Knowing that my work was going to be seen by literally millions of customers and drive billions of revenue dollars was incredibly rewarding.
To build upon my two years of business school, I knew there was no better place to kick-start my career than by working at BCG. Even though my background is in global B2B marketing, I wanted the opportunity to spread my wings and learn more the challenges facing other industries. So far, I've had the chance to work with clients in apparel, consumer goods, oil and gas, transportation, and the public sector.
At BCG, I truly believe that the company is committed to my short-term well-being and long-term development. With mentorship, learning, and networking opportunities, I am not only performing better on the job but I'm also receiving on-the-job training from some of the world's leading experts on business. I know that my experience at BCG is just the catalyst for future growth and development, and I will be able to leverage these experiences regardless of how my career evolves.
Mitch holds degrees in international business and music from Bradley University and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
Q: What is a typical day like for you?
A: This question is perfect for a BCGer because the answer is simple: no day is typical! And that's one of the parts of my job that I love the most. As someone who put in seven years in a very corporate, traditional job, I realize now that I thrive in an environment that is fluid, fast-paced, and ambiguous. I would say most days include a mixture of client-facing partnering, internal discussions, and team meetings, and quiet time spent ideating and analyzing. But the proportions of those activities constantly change, making each day more interesting than the last!
Q: What inspires you about BCG?
A: I am incredibly inspired by the amazing people I work with, both BCGers and our clients. BCG prides itself in bringing the most talented employees to the table for every project, where we work with some of the business world's most innovative leaders who push us to develop unique and impactful ideas, resulting in positive change for their organizations. The opportunity to work shoulder-to-shoulder with such a diverse, intelligent, driven group of people inspires me to be my best every day.
Q: What groups or organizations have you gotten involved with at BCG?
A: The majority of my involvement internally revolves around the LGBT Network, which has truly become a second home for me at BCG. Originally one of the huge selling points when I was recruiting for BCG, now the Network offers me networking opportunities, amazing mentors, and a chance to give back to make the company even better. BCG continues to be recognized as one of the best places to work, and I am proud of the company's commitment to inspire me to bring my authentic self to work every day.

Typically, the average UK winter temperature is approximately 4°C, and often lower during commuting hours. Below 7°C the rubber compound in all summer tyres hardens, causing a drop in performance and an increase in braking distance by up to 12%*.
As the colder months set in, you can maintain your vehicle's performance potential with the benefits of winter wheels and tyres. This provides improved performance, greater safety and enhanced driving pleasure in cold, wet and other adverse weather conditions.
In addition, all Porsche tyres are N-rated to signify that they have been tested and approved for your vehicle. Whether a winter or summer tyre, this means they meet high standards for driving stability, comfort and fuel consumption. You can explore the range available for your car, including pricing, using the Tequipment Finder .

Care instructions
Metallic finishes are popular in the design world since they can add an enhanced sense of glamour and style to any interior space. Careful cleaning and maintenance of metallic surfaces ensures that you will enjoy your furniture for years to come.
Discover how to clean and maintain items with a nickel, gold-coloured, zinc, bronze (gunmetal) or brass finish, as well as objects that are silver-plated or comprised of polished stainless steel.
Wipe the silver-plated object with a feather duster or a soft cloth to remove any surface dirt or oil. Dip a clean cloth into silver polish and apply it in a thin film to the object. Gently rub the polish into the silver plating with a polishing cloth made for silver. If you rub too hard you may remove the thin layer of silver. Remove any excess silver polish with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild washing up liquid.
Wipe the steel down with a soft dry cloth. To remove fingerprints and other grease or dirt we recommend using a foam cleaner.
Dust polished stainless steel and metal finishes periodically with a feather duster, a synthetic electrostatic duster, or a soft clean cloth or microfiber towel. Remove stubborn stains with clean water or a mild household cleaner such as Pledge Multi Surface Everyday Cleaner. Never use hot water or caustic chemicals containing ammonium, chlorine, solvents, or adhesive removers. Avoid paper towels, squeegees, steel wool, scouring pads, razor blades, scrapers, and the like.
Use a soft clean cloth and apply a small amount of the diluted cleaner directly to the cloth and then gently wipe the surface. Remove any cleaner residue with a clean cloth dampened with water, then wipe dry. If the finish is not altered or transferred to the cloth, then you can continue with cleaning the rest of the product. Complete the process by removing any cleaner residue with a clean cloth dampened with tepid water, then dry with a clean cloth. Do not let air dry.
Regularly polish metal finished parts with products that are made specifically for the care of polished metals, or with vinegar. Polish with undiluted vinegar on items with heavy staining. Spray the vinegar over the item until it's thinly covered or moisten a soft cloth in vinegar and rub it. For light polishing, dilute vinegar with water (1/2 cup of vinegar for every quart of lukewarm water).

Parampara (1992)
Thakur Bhavani Singh (Sunil Dutt) and his son Prithvi Singh (Vinod Khanna) share a tumultuous relationship over the father's upholding of tradition involving duels and subsequent killings. The other big issue between the two is that Prithvi has fallen in love with Tara Shankar (Ramya Krishna), sister to Gora Shankar (Anupam Kher), and member of the gypsy 'clan'. By the time Prithvi's father arranges a marriage for him with a woman of an equal 'class', he's married and fathered a child with Tara.
Yet, he must leave Tara and marry according to his father's wishes. That does not mean he is disrespectful to his new bride Rajeshwari (Ashwini Bhave). They eventually find love and have a child before Prithvi dies trying to, in his words, "end the tradition of hatred." Yet, as the father laments the loss of his son (here's a beautiful shot, think of the countless interpretations!), it is tradition that continues to matter most.
Fast forward a couple of decades and Prithvi Singh's sons are in college. Tara's son Ranvir (Aamir Khan) and Rajeshwari's son Pratap (Saif Ali Khan) meet in a beautifully executed race sequence.
They make some fun music and party hard.
All the while accompanied by Vijaya (Raveena Tandon -- paired opposite Aamir) and Sapna (Neelam).
Of course, Ranvir and Pratap eventually learn of their relationship, and their friendship changes to enmity. Each is groomed by his mentor, Pratap by his grandfather, the Thakur, and Ranvir by his uncle, Gora. Gora has the better argument and a message of peace, he just has much less leverage because of a relative lack of power, wealth, and accompanying status.
Tradition says the only way to resolve their dispute is with a duel between Prithvi Singh's two sons, in which one must die. And duel they must, despite rational thinkers (here, almost exclusively the women, it seems) pleading their case. Who will survive? What will come of it for the greater communities and clans they represent? And will the ladies stick by their men? Watch Parampara to discover. Its end might just be consistent with...well...tradition.
First things first. If you like duels, you must see this film. Just those involving Aamir and Saif offer good indication. A race involving a car and a horse. Then the formal one-on-one on three occasions, one each with foils, swords, and guns. Each is very well executed with the right intensity.
As much as I hate guns, I guess they can be used as an effective tool to foster love. How else could one explain this?
There is about a 20-minute segment half-way through the film in which comedy takes over. The film could certainly have benefited from more of it.
It's telling, because most of it involves Aamir and Raveena.
Surely, a precursor to their pairing in a classic comedy from a couple years later.
Aside: A well-deserved flashback (or flash forward, in the film chronology), from Andaz Apna Apna (1994)!
The music (Shiv-Hari) is about average, but the the picturizations and actors keep things interesting. Where there are gypsies, there will be a gypsy song, so there's Hum Banjaare by Lata Mangeshkar. Everyone who's rated Hum Pyaar Karne Lage on YouTube must like it more than I. And we know well that Aditya Chopra likes open fields :)
Neelam and Saif get Mere Saathiya, and Aadhi Raat Ko is my pick from the album. It's silly, I know, but it is used well, and stars Raveena in shalwar kameez! 8)
From a thematic standpoint, it is probably fair to think of Parampara as reinforcing the needlessness of the roles of tradition in family feuds, in some ways reminiscent of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988). However, what is a lot more different here is the depiction of the struggle to break out of what one inherently carries with blood lines. This is reflected by at least eight characters mentioned above, and although that might seem to be a lot, it's the very obvious masala nature of the film that makes its integration seamless.
I mentioned the cast, more than anything, making much out of little. The right amounts of emotion and intensity elevate this to a watchable film. This is evident from start to finish. Sunil Dutt, Vinod Khanna, Anupam Kher, and Ashwini Bhave (yes!) are the best actors in the film, which is not surprising given the year in which it was released. (There's a reason I haven't said much at all of Bhave.) Dutt is very effective in his work as the senseless father, father-in-law, grandfather, and community leader.
Woah, doesn't Sanjay Dutt look exactly like his dad?
Aside: He was also an excellent equestrian. Aamir has been quite vocal about his commitment to commitment being influenced by his working alongside Mr. Dutt in this film, who, it turns out, disappeared from the sets of Parampara for close to an hour on horseback, so he could tame the horse he'd be shooting an important scene with!
We talk of tradition in a civilized world that has made all sorts of progress in the last century, but this is probably going to go down as the most 'traditionally' relevant question in the history of mankind. (Speaking of which, you might find Salman Khan's latest blog post interesting -- especially the last two paragraphs.)
Neelam for public office!
Aamir, Raveena, Saif, and Neelam are present in a little less than half of the film. It would have been interesting had its format been closer to QSQT, with a short introduction to a greater theme, with more for these four. They're all in good form here. But then, we wouldn't have much of Khanna and Ramya, and it's not like there is a whole lot more integrated into the script that the youngsters would have to do. In other words, this could have been just as effective had it been shorter. Sadly, the one glaring letdown in the film is the script.
Having said that, if you're a fan of family drama, there is a chance it might work for you. If you're a fan of the cast, it's worth at least one viewing. And if you're a fan of both the genre and the cast, then you, like me, might consider it a fairly decent timepass flick. At the end of the day, it's not close to the best family dramas the actors have consistently delivered. Suffice it to say that a fitting tag line to the film would be: Tradition - It's in the name!
Movie rating: 3/5 (Above average)
Redundancy despite good performances can only be so good. Aditya Chopra knows not to heed that, but if you like his style of story-telling, you might like this much more than I did. Perhaps I am more critical of it given the cast. If you've seen it, please let's discuss know how you liked it.
Music rating: 2.75/5 (Average)
The background score is a complement to the drama, but the soundtrack very linear and conventional. Its integration is about okay. Overall, I cannot help but feel Shiv-Hari, who have delivered music to the likes of Silsila (1981), Chandni (1989), Lamhe (1990), and Darr (1993), could have done a lot better. Having said that, both Shivkumar Sharma and Hariprasad Chaurasia are phenomenal musicians who continue to give fans of Hindustani classical music so much to appreciate. No blasphemy intended, I think they're just exponentially better away from film.
My classification: PG-13
(For theme, language, sexual situations)
And finally...
Isn't it a wonder the film that turned around Saif's career nearly a decade after the release of Parampara, was one in which he starred alongside Aamir and Vindod Khanna's son Akshaye?

I'd rather take a couple's drama or family drama (that's the romantic in me), but if I can watch and enjoy a family dramas like K3G and QSQT, then surely Parampara is worth a try - at least for Saif and Aamir. Plus, I'm a sucker for a good sword fight.

I just cant recall any song or scene from this movie. Hah..its been eons since I watched. [which I think only once i did] Cause I didn't liked it at all. As I never liked the revenge saga genre. [ofcourse except QSQT :p] I even can't remember its songs !!!! Its like this movie doesn't existed at all. hah. I think I should watch it to see how good Aamir and Ravs looked together. Especially in Fun Moments.
And the wonderous thing you've found. DCH !!
[i see in this post, you have put the story in great detail ]

Oh my! How much I miss this film! Yes, many bad fashion sense but I still loved the movie overall. I've always wanted to see Aamir and Saif again and glad they were together in Dil Chahta Hai,
I also really adored Aamir and Raveena. I wish Raveena would make a comeback. One of my faves from the 90s. I was so disappointed that Time Machine with Aamir and Ravs got shelved and suppose to be a remake of Back to the Future.
Neelam is just too adorable. I remember watching this film and wishing that Aamir and Neelam would be paired together. I got my wish with Afansa Pyar Ka but I didn't like it that much :( Wish they would be paired off again

LOL Ignorance exemplified: I saw the picture at the top and said to myself, "Gosh, that guy in the middle looks a lot like the Thakur from Sholay!"
This looks interesting. And I want to see more Neelam; Nicki's got me watching her stuff.

I actually quite enjoy watching parampara here and there. I like the old traditional thakur type stuff. The cast has among the best. I love Vinod Khanna, hes so handsome. Im not a fan of Ashwini but i liked her here and that movie Heena.
The 'aadhi raat' song had a cute picturisation and 'hum banjaare' is very catchy.

Shell: Since you like sword fights, you will at the very least enjoy bits of this. Again, I must warn you that Aamir and Saif get going only in the second half. If you go in not expecting too much, you'll be fine.
Darshit: Are you sure you've seen it? :P It's really not as bad as it might sound. A revenge saga can still be good. The story here is simple but with that many characters (and great actors), how can one not describe them some more?! You know what I think of the songs. This one came and went, didn't do much. Now, there's this other Aamir movie from 1992 that was (and is, I think it's fair to say) quite the rage. Saving discussion on that for a future post dedicated to the film. :)
Nicki: That's good to know! Wouldn't it be something if Aamir and Raveena made it to Andaz Apna Apna 2 or something? Even if they play someone's uncle and aunt (say, to Imran and Genelia), it'd be great! All the possibilities!
I'm so glad you mentioned Time Machine. I don't think I ever knew why it was shelved, so if you have that info/remember anything from back then, do let us know!
Here's a great video on the making of Time Machine. It would have been something to see Naseeruddin Shah, Rekha, Aamir and Ravs tackle Science Fiction! (We did see Rekha, Naseeruddin Shah, and Raveena get there after all, albeit this decade; thinking Krrish and Aks.) See 4:10 into that video for an Aamir-Raveena comedy piece. And the director's also talking of Aamir going back to the 1960s to meet a struggling Amitabh Bachchan in the film!

Ajnabi: You're in good company when it comes to Neelam films! And I remember discussing this with Nicki as well, I think Neelam's most memorable works came opposite Govinda, back when he took on films other than comedies. That's probably why Govinda and Salman get along so well today. Could have been so different a landscape of actors had they stuck to more conventional hero-giri (i.e. heroism).
JJC: I agree it's not bad at all to see 'here and there'. And yes, the thakur-style stuff still works okay for me. Haven't seen Heena, which I hear is Ashwini's most appreciated work. And yes, 'Aadhi raat' was cute, I kept thinking how subtle the lyrics are in what is a rather provocative poem, LOL.
Thank you all for your comments! Cheers.

I'm trying to look without reading, squinting...want to spoilers. Must see film and report back yaar.

Hi Bollywoodfan!
I watched Parampara quite a long time ago and should watch it again to comment on the music... but I do know that I also enjoyed the parts of comedy in it and that the film would have benefited from a more generous dose. What a great synopsis you have written. Very inviting to give it a rewatch. :-)
- Wednesday, July 08, 2009
- Nicki said...
Thanks for the video for the making of Time Machine. Honestly, I've heard nothing about why it got shelved.
The uploaded commented below
"It was supposed to release in the early 90, 1992 or 1993.
Like a lot of other Shekhar Kapur films, he seemed to lose interest as financing issues caused delays and there were some casting issues (Aamir apparently wanted Juhi Chawla to replace Raveena Tandon).
It's a pity it was never completed as it looks quite interesting and entertaining! "
I really disagree though. But who knows.

Adab Sita-ji! I think you'll really like this! Especially given how much fun some of the zany bits can be, for those of us who are willing to buy into the theme (I've seldom had an issue succumbing to the filmmakers' view). Quite an emotional mishmash, which means it's traditional masala fun :) Do let me know what you think of it.
Aline! Thank you for your comment. I'd be interested to know your take on the music. Have you listened to some of the other non-filmi stuff by Shiv and Hari? If you haven't, I think you should. You will love it!
Nicki: That's interesting gossip! It would have been even worse if a project with Aamir and Juhi got shelved. Aamir's praising Raveena in that video, so that might not be it after all. Oh, well.

This was such an annoying and regressive film :( and Saif looked horrid and effeminate in it. Raveena was simply gorgeous though and I LOVE LOVE LOVE 'Adhi Raat Ko' :-D *sigh* I also kinda like 'Phoolon ke is shahar mein' to some extent.
- Monday, July 20, 2009
- theBollywoodFan said...
Yep, such a like-dislike relationship with it. Adhi Raat Ko is pure fun, though, very true! And doesn't Saif often look effeminate? :D

The New Year gives rise to new resolutions, but many have grown tired of attempting unsuccessful diets and seeing numbers on the scale crawl up, year after year. Although there is no magic bullet for weight loss, it is possible to reach your health goals by lifelong commitment to a healthy and balanced diet.
Making healthy choices isn't as difficult or intimidating as it may seem: one useful strategy is to take advantage of the Nutrition Facts Label (Figure 1). Found on most prepackaged foods, the table is designed to inform consumers about the nutritional content of the food they are purchasing. Read below for a summary of the components:
Serving size determines the nutrition information you receive—including calories and nutrients—of a food. The amount of each nutrient consumed will change relative to eating more or less than the serving size provided. Serving size and portion size are not the same! The next you eat a meal, try comparing serving size to the amount you actually eat.
- Calories correspond to the amount of energy by any given food. Consuming excess calories results in unintended weight gain. You are more likely to keep your weight in check by tracking the number of calories you consume. Contact a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) or visit www.myplate.gov to calculate individual calorie needs.
- Percent Daily Value (%DV) can be used to evaluate whether a food is low (5% DV or less) or high (20% DV or more) in a specific nutrient. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends choosing foods providing 20% DV or more of vitamins and minerals, and providing 5% DV or less of sodium and saturated fat, the average American consumes excess sodium and saturated fat, and consumes inadequate amounts of key nutrients.
- The Ingredient List itemizes ingredients by greatest to least weight, and allows consumers to identify the contents of a food product For example, you can use the ingredient list to determine whether a bread has been made from whole or refined wheat.
Nutrition recommendations for American have changed considerably since the introduction of the current food label in 1994. To better reflect these changes, the FDA approved a number of revisions on the current food label (Figure 2). The new label is scheduled to launch in 2018, and will feature a more prominent placement of serving sizes and calories, issue a mandatory % Daily Value for added sugars, and introduce values for potassium and vitamin D. Serving size will also change, and will be measured based on the amount American actually consume, versus what they "should" consume: for example, a 20 ounce sports drink will be designated as being one serving, rather than two (or three!).
The Nutrition Facts Label is intended to inform and assist consumers when they are selecting foods, and can become a valuable tool when used to your advantage. Paying attention to the foods you purchase and choose to eat brings you one step closer to achieving your health goals.

It's looking more likely that a low-pressure system in the eastern Atlantic Ocean will develop into a tropical cyclone during the next couple of days.
Although it's way too early to say for sure, it's most probable this system will continue to track west-northwest, and probably will move just to the northwest of the Caribbean Sea. In other words, although it's certainly possible, this system appears unlikely to affect the Gulf of Mexico.
But the fact that we're starting to see tropical waves come off Africa is significant, as it heralds the most dangerous part of the Atlantic hurricane season.
The following infrared image of the eastern Atlantic Ocean and Africa shows a "wave train" moving across Africa. In this image clouds are cooler, and they show up whiter than darker, warmer temperatures.
Click here to see the image above as a moving .gif file. It's pretty cool.
The possible formation of this storm, dubbed Invest 98L, signals the beginning of the "Cape Verde" hurricane season, so named for storms that develop near the Cape Verde islands, off the west coast of Africa.
Storms that form in this region and track westward across the Atlantic Ocean are often the most powerful and dangerous storms that form in a given hurricane season. The two most destructive hurricanes to have hit the upper Texas coast, Hurricane Ike in 2008 and the Great Storm of 1900, were both Cape Verde hurricanes.
This is not to say one should panic. Invest 98L probably won't have a significant effect on the United States. But its possible formation offers a good time to remind one and all that we're fast coming upon the busiest and most dangerous part of hurricane season.
