A Restored Film Joymoti creates a stir at the 10th Osian’s-Cinefan Festival (Press Release)‘Joymoti’, an Assamese film by the late Jyotiprasad Agarwalla, was a film far ahead of its times when made in 1935 and was inspired by movements in Russia in the 1920s, noted filmmaker Altaf Mazid said at a press meet organized at the 10th Osian’s-Cinefan Festival in New Delhi. Speaking about the restoration of the film undertaken by him at his own cost because of the way he was impressed with the film, Altaf said he had been inspired to make the film when he saw a documentary on Agarwalla 25 years ago and his curiosity was aroused. He looked at the film as not just an interesting state artifact, but also a nationally significant piece of Indian culture. The film was based on Lakshminath Bezbaruah’s play on the 17th century story of Sati Joymati and starred Aideu Handique and Phani Sharma. Interestingly after much search, only one reel of the film could be found in the garage in the house then occupied by Agarwalla’s. Since the rights of the film lay with the Assam Government, Altaf said he had proceeded on his own and managed to collect parts of the film from various sources and restored it. He hopes the state will produce a digital print from the restored version. ‘Joymoti’ was the first film in Assamese and was also the first talkie in the state when it was released by Chitralekha Movietone in 1935. Altaf is a critic turned filmmaker who made his first film ‘Jibon’ in the mid-nineties and screened it at the International Film Festival of India in Hyderabad. It won the Director’s prize at the Seventh Pyongyang Film Festival of Non-aligned and Developing countries. Lakhtokiat Golam (Closed Door and stuff inside the magazine syndrome) was able to attract wide critical appraisal and his other films include ‘Our Common future’, ‘The Joy of Giving’, ‘Las Vegasat’, and ‘Bhal Khabar’. He preferred to make films on the video format because they ...
A high efficiency air filter can negatively impact air conditioner performance.
When air flow falls below design requirements the evaporator coil can ice up. If you are experiencing this problem you can use a slightly less efficient air filter.
Before you call a air conditioning service repair man to check your air conditioner that’s not cooling you may want to check some of these possible causes.
Margaret Spellings, the Secretary of Education, and NCLB proponent went on The Colbert Report last night. Stephen, to his credit, asked about sanctions, but his follow-up was a bit lacking.Spellings said they shouldn't be called sanctions since what they do is help schools be accountable by giving them help! Accountable to whom? Accountable to parents. They are not accountable. Teachers are. Patients are not accountable. Doctors are. Criminals are not accountable. Lawyers are. Congress is not accountable. THE PEOPLE ARE!!!!!!!!Read my thoughts on a certain sanction: http://www.thefrustratedteacher.blogspot.com/2008/05/curriculum-of-sanction-lucy-calkins.html

Here is what RASMUSSEN recently reported:The belief that reporters are trying to help Barack Obama win the fall campaign has grown by five percentage points over the past month.” Gee, do you think? Plus this: “A separate survey released this morning also found that 50% of voters believe most reporters want to make the economy seem worse than it is. A plurality believes that the media has also tried to make the war in Iraq appear worse that it really is.”And newspapers wonder why they are losing influence and readers. Yesterday the LA Times featured a frontpage story headlined:“Iraqi president embraces Obama’s withdrawal plan”That makes Obama seem to be right about Iraq.But wait, that was not what Maliki said or meant. Did the LAT correct the bungled story today? No.
So, what is writer’s block exactly? Is it a myth? A fact? A disability? Here’s what Wikipedia (I know its not trustworthy, but bear with me on this) has to say:
Writer’s block is a phenomenon involving temporary loss of ability to begin or continue writing, usually due to lack of inspiration or creativity.
Phenomenon? I don’t

Welcome to the eighth episode of the Freeware Mission! Here is another problem I had after my Windows XP crashed: i have a movie collection, about 2500 films, and all the information about the DVDs that I own was managed through a commercial program called Movie Collector. Now I have to find a freeware program that can replace it and maybe even manage to import my collection data from the other program. If I don't find one, I'm doomed.There are a lot, really a lot movie collection managers available, some free, some not, but none of them could satisfy my needs. Until I found Ant Movie Catalog: open source and quite promising after a first view of the feature list.I was very happy to find it because I could import with it the .csv file that had all the data about my collection. And after that, it's grabbing more information time! Ant Movie Catalog can get info about the films from a huge range of internet sources, mostly through scripts written by its users.I must say I'm impressed with the capabilities of this open source program, and maybe except the "gray" interface, it's better than the commercial software that I was using before! It offers huge possibilities for a movie maniac like me to manage his collection and add information about the films (it can import information about your video files - codec, bitrate, resolution, statistics, export to various file formats).You can download Ant Movie Catalog from here, it's free! My Evaluation 9.5 Operating System Windows All Size 3.58 MB Author Antoine Potten Version Tested 3.5.1 The Freeware Mission will continue tomorrow, when I will try to find a freeware CD/DVD burner to replace the Nero suite that I was using before the crash.

Here is her reasoning of why it is ok for a black to say 'nigger' but not for whites or others.This exchange from The View happened last week. In case you missed it, Whoopi Goldberg argues that blacks can say nigger and it’s all right, among other things.Whoopi is a rare quadruple threat: coarse, ugly, wealthy and pompous.On the news of Jesse Jackson’s use of the “n” word, the conversation quickly developed into the double standard involved between a white and black person’s use of the word. Sherri Shepherd and Whoopi Goldberg admitted there is a double standard, but added there should be. Sherri Shepherd said she uses the word “as a term of endearment,” but said to Barbara Walters “I don’t want to hear it coming out of your mouth.”Elisabeth Hasselbeck, puzzled by the obvious double standard, questioned how she can explain to her young daughter why she is not allowed to use that word, but other kids are, when she noted “we live in the same world,” Whoopi went off on a tangent that blacks and whites do not live in the same world. Whoopi, who also dismissed Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s concerns as “very white,” added Elisabeth just does not “understand.”GOLDBERG: We do live in different worlds. I’m sorry. I’m sorry it’s the way it is Elisabeth. This is the way it is. This is how I grew up. My mother could not go and vote in the United States of America, the place of her birth. We, go- wait, wait.WALTERS: And don’t we want that to change?GOLDBERG: Yes, we would like to. But you don’t understand.HASSELBECK: I’m not going to take that away from no.GOLDBERG: No, no, I, I want you to. But what I need you to understand is the frustration that goes along when you say we live in the same world. It isn’t balanced. And we would like it to be. But you have to understand, you have to listen to the fact that we’re telling you, there are issues, there are huge problems that still affect us. And you’ve got to know this if you want to kno ...
