23rd Jan 2013
4.15 am I am shivering at the Bengaluru International Airport Bus Stand waiting for Subhanjan to pick up a piece of audio equipment that will make shooting our interviews a lot easier. It takes a good hour before he walks back 2 kms from the Air India Sats buildings after paying off customs duty and completing formalities. We are on the way.
9.15 am Jaipur is 7°C outside when we collect our gear from the conveyor and make our way to the taxi stand. A pleasant half hour ride down the highway we reach our hotel and check in. A walk round the corner gets us to Diggi Palace, the venue of the Jaipur Lit fest. The mayhem is on. Decorators, policemen, volunteers, soundmen, carpenters, samosa-sellers and chai-wallas create flocking patterns and chaos in a time and space juxtaposed between the haveli and "here and now".
We are here to interview authors one-on-one. Learn about their books, their views. Since December last when we launched, we have interviewed a hundred and twenty authors. It has been a most enlightening experience. A whole new world. An opening up of sorts. From poetry to non-fiction, from Kannada to Oriya, from history to children's literature, from post-colonial to structuralism.
And Jaipur promises to be a feast. The list of authors gracing the festival is extensive, impressive, and heavy-weight. These are the Alis and Tysons of the literary ring.
11 am We talk to Prantik about our entry passes. His boss Imtiaz is in hospital undergoing a CT scan because he's completely stressed out by the fest demands. We hope (and pray) it's nothing serious. Their company, Ketchum Sampark, is in charge of taking care of the media (that's us, by the way). We collect our passes and promise to be back soon for scouting for suitable corners to shoot in.
Our requirements are pretty simple, and pretty much unavailable. We need a quiet corner, far from the festival speakers so that our shooting microphones don't pick up the noise. Simple, but its like asking for ice-cream in a blast furnace. The entire Diggi Palace is already maxed out in terms of decibels- and God alone knows how much louder it would get the following day when the festivities rolled.
1 pm After a quick lunch we make our way towards Amer Fort. We absolutely must absorb a little Jaipur, and this is the only window we have. Both Subhanjan and I haven't slept at all in the last 36 hours or so, and when the elephants roll by, Subhanjan is actually fast asleep in the car. We pass Jal Mahal, and the driver announces it loud enough for him to wake up just before we reach the fort.
We spend two hours or more at the fort. It is just as amazing and astounding as we expected it to be. On the way back we pick up batteries for our audio gear, and hit the hotel to check out our new system. The Beachtek DXA-SLR works beautifully, but the batteries are no good.
5 pm So we make our way back to Diggi Palace hoping someone can guide us to a market that specializes in camera gear. We talk to a photographer
and his directions are good- we find the stuff we are looking for. The location that seems perfect for our needs is just below the Media/Press handling room. We ask permission to shoot there- and lo and behold- we are granted our wish! It just seems too good to be true.
7 pm We flip through files, check our lists, arrange our gear, and prepare for the big meltdown the following morning. Someone told me about "nervous energy" being a good thing before you go on stage. I'm always nervous before my camera rolls for the first interview. Most people call me paranoid. But then, you never know…
24th Jan 2013
8 am We reach Diggi Palace through several security checks and laser scans of our entry passes. The fest is about to begin. As we try to enter the courtyard assigned to us for our shoot, we are firmly refused entry. There's just no way we can enter that lobby because the place we were allocated earlier was the designated Authors Lounge. Some one forgot to tell us! "Stay off", we are told.
So we ask for help, and somewhere, some hearts do seem to melt. We manage to re-scout for locations, and settle for a position right across the author lounge. It's as quiet as we can manage, and strategically well located – we would be able to talk to authors as they sauntered in and out of the lounge.
10 am The fest is on. I set up my gear and lights. I plug in my electrical extension, and the fuse blows. I'm cursing my luck because I don't even know if we can find the electrician who handles this part of the palace. Subhanjan does locate him- I wonder how. Gajinder, the electrician, takes a while to locate the blown fuse, and replaces it. We are at last ready to roll! Lights! Camera! Sound! Author!!
Ashok Ferry from Sri Lanka is gracious enough to be the first to go in front of the camera. Author after author, the camera keeps rolling, the stories keep coming. Part of my nervousness is now gone, having been replaced by the joy of talking to the authors. But it isn't easy, of course. I try to be as alert as possible, cued in to everything they say. To talk about politics in Egypt, or oppression of the Dalits, or Jewishness, or alternate identities, and to jump from one end of the spectrum to the other in a matter of minutes (or seconds) is exhausting.
But the heady concoction turns to daily dose. (Read 'tolerance levels increase'). And in the mean time the Festival rolls on with its usual share of controversies and roster of celebrities. The Ashis Nandy incident, His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi, Shobha De, Sharmila Tagore, it's all happening here.
We focus on authors and poets of course, and are very happy to talk to authors who write in Santhali, Maithili, Marathi, Oriya. Indian Language literature is vibrant, diverse, and often deals with core issues of the subcontinent. Some are rooted in tradition, some at the edges of experiment. Politics, social conditions, economic deprivation, caste oppression, all find voice in Indian Language writing. Markand Sathe, for example, was quite clear that great literature comes from beyond what we perceive to be simply "literature"- it comes from a knowledge of these diverse areas that affect society and lives.
The difficulty with Indian language literature is that much of it does not get translated directly to another Indian Language. So English still is the de facto bridge language. A Bengali novel is more likely to be translated into English first, rather than say Malayalam. This, in a sense, is still a barrier. And having grown up with great Bengali literature, I have strong reasons to suspect that the pasture on the Malayalam side (or for that matter Marathi or Oriya) is equally green and verdant.
Moving away from fiction and Indian literature, there were a gazillion new ideas in what we heard. Michel Sandel's "What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets" asserts that it is a fallacy to believe that market values can address justice. Richard Sorabji's "Gandhi and the Stoics" aims to show that Gandhi's philosophy was influenced by the stoics- or at least there was a convergence of ideas.
Then there were the history/historical fiction books. William Dalrymple talked about his "Return of the King". "The Last Nizam" by John Zubrzycki tells the somewhat sad and strange story of the last Nizam of Hyderabad.
And in fiction too the stories were just as varied. Vikas Swarup's (Q&A = Slumdog Millionaire) new novel is "The Accidental Apprentice", a story
about an ordinary girl required to pass extraordinary tests. Shauna Singh Baldwin's "The Selector of Souls" is a 'person, a machine, and a person again'. Anosh Irani's "The Cripple and his Talismans" is about a man who discovers one day that his hand is missing, and he sets out to find it. (Yep, the interviews will be up soon at AuthorTV).
And then there's the stuff that can't be slotted easily. Madeline Miller's "The Song of Achilles" is a retelling of history-myth (the Trojan War) but in the cocoon of literary fiction. It is the story of Achilles told by his lover and friend Patroclus. Patroclus dies young, but the story continues to be told by him after his death. "Dozakhnama", translated by Arunava Sinha, is about Ghalib and Manto conversing from their graves- two people caught in times of tumultuous and irreversible change. Neelesh Misra's "Yaad Sheher" are stories written for reading on radio- a program that is extremely popular in the western parts of the country. Even some parts of Pakistan I believe.
So is there anything in common between them? Do great authors at least have similar habits? Do they write in the same way? Absolutely not. Some take ten years to write a novel. Some say they think for two years before putting pen to paper, and then it's over in fifteen days. Some write without eating much for days, subsisting mainly on tea. Others are known to write for one hour a day every day.
But most authors agree that writing is a lonely profession. Also, almost all the authors said "Don't write about yourself. That's going to be an extremely boring read."

New and reconditioned parts for Citroën 2cv by mail order
ECAS 2cv Parts mail order service was opened in 1987 by Roy Eastwood as an extension to its proprietor's passion for 2cvs and the 2cv club (2CVGB).
The business 'Roy Eastwood t/a Ecas 2cv Parts' ran for 18 years from 1987 until 30th November 2005.
From 8th February 2006 until 1st September 2008.
The assets of the old business were bought and formed into a limited company by a team of 3 directors, Richard Dalton, Sally Eastwood & Mark Fleming. (See para. 2, para. 3).
From 2nd September 2008 until 30th June 2011,
following his hard work & excellent help in re-establishing 'ECAS', Richard Dalton is concentrating on his core business (Holditch Garage) and we have now just the 2 directors, Sally Eastwood & Mark Fleming. (see para 3).
Since 1st July 2011,
After 5 years plus of hard work, patience & support rebuilding the business of Ecas 2cv Parts, Sally Eastwood & Mark Fleming are resigned as directors, continuing their own businesses, Van Chaud HY Mobile Event Catering, Midas Agencies & The Hawthorns B&B at Ashley, Staffs.
The company, Ecas 2cv Parts Ltd. is now run by husband & wife team Roy Eastwood & Jayne Eastwood.

| 14.9°C Belfast
Ben Youngs claims England have produced the greatest rugby of the Eddie Jones era in sweeping aside Ireland and France.
Emphatic wins in the opening two rounds of the Guinness Six Nations have set-up a title showdown with Wales in Cardiff on Saturday week that will place the Grand Slam in the winners' sights.
Jones has masterminded 30 wins from 37 Tests as England head coach in a record that includes a Grand Slam, Championship title and 3-0 series whitewash of the Wallabies in Australia.
Another great team effort, a joy to be involved with this team 🌹 thanks for everyoneâs support pic.twitter.com/C2l5ABkxBe— Ben Youngs (@benyoungs09) February 11, 2019
But Youngs believes that by amassing 10 tries in dominant displays at the Aviva Stadium and Twickenham, the team is scaling new heights.
When asked if England are playing at the highest level of rugby under Jones, Youngs replied: "From what I remember since I've been involved with Eddie, yes.
"It's probably not higher intensity, just more consistent within it. Maybe that's maturity, personnel – I'm not sure.
"It's certainly great fun out there. You can probably see it – from one to 23, guys are thriving and loving being part of the team.
"If you're 30-8 up against France at half time you are doing something right. There weren't many mistakes."
The biggest win over France since 1911 has cranked up expectation surrounding the February 23 showdown in Cardiff as England look to continue their stunning start to World Cup year.
Wales are the only other Six Nations team with a 100 per cent record after posting wins against France and Italy.
"Wales have had a good run. We are going to embrace and enjoy the big two-week build-up," Youngs said.
NEXT STOP: CARDIFF 🔥— England Rugby (@EnglandRugby) February 10, 2019
â¡ https://t.co/F7TSNDJvVM pic.twitter.com/ruoHAbZnf6
"This is what the Championship is about – it always comes down to certain games.
"France was a Championship decider, the same in a fortnight's time. We will take every game as it comes but certainly, this one is hugely exciting."
The only frustration to emerge from the Twickenham landslide was an ankle problem sustained by Mako Vunipola, with an update on the blockbusting loosehead prop's condition expected in the coming days.
Second row Maro Itoje has an outside chance of being available against Wales as he continues his recovery from a knee ligament tear, but hooker Dylan Hartley will miss out again because of a similar injury.
While England rampage through the Six Nations, abject France are in freefall amid demands for Jacques Brunel to be sacked.
Morgan Parra, the country's most capped scrum-half, has hinted at discord in the camp.
"I think that we are capable of doing what the English do, but are we working on this during training? I think we don't work on it enough, even not at all," Parra said.
"Yet these are very simple things that are today part of high-level rugby. We can do this. But do we work on it? No."

His mother and her three siblings all died of dementia so when David Suzuki hosts the next episode of the Nature of Things on Nov. 14, viewers will see an unusually personal and "long overdue" episode on Alzheimer's disease.
One of the most dramatic moments in the television program involves a re-creation of a night, 30 years ago, when Suzuki's mother vanished from BC Women's Hospital. The family had gathered there for the birth of his daughter (one of his five children). But the celebration turned into a harrowing nightmare as Suzuki's mother went missing for many hours. Police eventually found her in Marpole, after receiving a call that a woman was trying to gain entry to a blue Volkswagen van.
It was the same model as her husband's.
At 77, Suzuki has outlived his mother, who died at 74. He says he hasn't noticed any worrisome symptoms in himself, but concedes there are times when individual words elude him.
"I've never been very good at names. But what I'm finding now is with words, words that I could throw out instantly, I have to now work to remember."
Though he's been with the CBC show for over 30 years, it's the first time Suzuki has addressed Alzheimer's. Not because he was avoiding it, Suzuki said in an interview, but because the science on causes and treatments has lagged far behind what would be expected of a disease that is epidemic, largely because of population aging.
"We're at such a primitive point," Suzuki said, referring to the lack of consensus on what causes Alzheimer's and the absence of any effective treatments. The documentary explores some of the more compelling research taking place across North America.
"We still have to find out what's the actual cause. We have strong correlation (an accumulation of toxic, beta amyloid protein plaques in the brain) but we don't know. The field is wide open," he said.
The episode is called Untangling Alzheimer's and after an advance viewing for The Vancouver Sun, Suzuki sat for an hour-long interview to talk about the film and his experiences with Alzheimer's. He said he's not at all concerned about whether the public will assess him any differently after revealing such information.
"I have no idea (if) there are stigmas related to Alzheimer's. It's never worried me. I think that the more people who know (about Alzheimer's), the better informed and able to handle these things they will be."
Suzuki said the writer/producer, Roberto Verdecchia, "realized my mom had died from it and wanted to get me involved. He didn't have to twist my arm."
While he's comfortable sharing information, his wife, who appears in the film, along with other family members, is admittedly less enthusiastic.
"I've spent over 40 years in the public eye. My wife is always saying 'David, why did you have to talk about that? It's so personal.'
"But our lives have been an open book. That's the nature of the beast. So I was glad to be involved in the Alzheimer's show because I think people … will find some kind of community knowing what we went through."
Although he's written two autobiographies, neither book mentioned his family's experience with the disease. "It wasn't a conscious decision (to not mention Alzheimer's). I'm just not a deeply reflective person about my life and all that stuff. I realize that in both of my autobiographies, I didn't delve deeply into what the hell makes me who I am — you know, my hang-ups. Maybe that will be the third (book)."
One of the most surprising and ironic moments in the documentary comes when Suzuki is sitting around his Point Grey Road kitchen with family members, discussing his mother's dementia. It was the first time such a conversation took place. Asked if it was a hidden truth, he said it wasn't like that at all:
"Well, we were discussing it for the first time with the children. They don't remember mom, so for them it was all new."
Suzuki, a former genetics professor, tells his family that he thinks genetics probably has little to do with getting Alzheimer's, after his daughter asks about that. Was he merely being a protective father, shielding an uncomfortable possibility from his grown up children?
"No, I wouldn't want to be deceiving, I just really think it's not like it plays a major role. I doubt it has that much to do with genetics," Suzuki said.
"The fact that my mother had it doubles the possibility of me getting it. But the rest is chance," he said. His two sisters (a third has died) are also unaffected by the disease.
But he does admit to sometimes wondering if he will get Alzheimer's. Yet he has no desire to take a test that might indicate if he faces a higher-than-normal risk.
"I'm 77 and I often wonder. It would be very sad — I don't know what I would do if I went into dementia. I wouldn't want to become a burden. I think as soon as your mind goes, you're dead, so I would hope there would be some way of terminating your life.
"If there was a test for me that would say I was going to definitively develop Alzheimer's, what would that do except make me very unhappy? There's nothing that can be done (treatment-wise), so why bother? If I was still a young man and wanted to have a family, that's one thing. It might be worth doing. But if it's a horrifying thing and there's nothing to do, what's the point?"
Autopsies can definitively prove Alzheimer's disease, but they're rarely done, especially in patients who've exhibited all the hallmark signs of the disease before their death. Yet Suzuki's mother had an autopsy after her death in 1984. Asked why, he says:
"That's a good question. (Dr.) Pat McGeer (a brain researcher and minister of universities, science and communications at the time)) … was determined to get 100 per cent autopsies on every (dementia) death. So my dad said to me, 'Dave, they want to do an autopsy' and I said 'Tell him to take a flying leap, for god sakes.' That was just McGeer's ego trip. But dad felt strongly about adding to the science."
As a lifelong scientist focused on diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, McGeer has played a pivotal role in developing a brain bank at UBC that now consists of a collection of more than 800 brains.
Suzuki said the autopsy proved his mom had Alzheimer's.
Suzuki and the film crew went to U.S. cities, including Boston, St. Louis, Winston-Salem and Providence. In Canada, they interviewed experts in Toronto and Montreal.
The Toronto research trials involving Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) seem like the most promising scientific frontier, Suzuki said. The film crew went into the operating room to capture a DBS surgical procedure. It's a stunning scene as the patient is awake and talking while a neurosurgeon drills into her skull.
Apart from DBS, Suzuki said, "there's nothing really that I see that seems to be definitively pointing at a new direction where we're going to get some new answers. There were people tying (Alzheimer's) to diabetes, but at this point, it's very speculative."
Suzuki said his personal Alzheimer's risk-reduction strategy involves regular exercise and healthful eating practices.
"The best medicine I have is exercise. If you look at risk factors for stroke, diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's, the one constant that significantly reduces risk is exercise.
"I don't do it enough, but I do go to the gym ... three to four times a week. And I would think the more you exercise your brain, the better it is."

Cadillac Eldorado Fuel Pump Assembly FOR SALE
Cadillac Eldorado Fuel Pump Assembly by Year+
The Cadillac Eldorado Fuel Pump Assembly includes a fuel pump, which is an important component of your vehicle. The function of a fuel pump is to draw fuel from the fuel tank and pump it into the internal combustion engine. There are two kinds of fuel pumps: mechanical and electric, which are used in vehicles with carburetors and electronic fuel injectors, respectively. Mechanical pumps are mounted alongside the engine and they pump the fuel under low pressure to the carburetor. They are driven by the engine's camshaft. Electric pumps are usually fitted inside the fuel tank and they pump the fuel at high pressure to the fuel injection system. A twin pump system is used in automobiles where the fuel tank is mounted far from the engine. It includes a supply pump located in the fuel tank which pumps the fuel at a lower pressure. A second fuel pump that is close to the engine builds the fuel pressure to the desired level.
If you are looking for a high-quality Cadillac Eldorado Fuel Pump Assembly, you have come to the right place. Buy Auto Parts stocks a wide selection of OEM replacements and premium aftermarket parts for every car make and model.

Ponzi sentencing: Schemer John Donnelly gets 7 1/2 years
John M. Donnelly walked out of federal court Friday morning a free man–- but not for much longer.
The man who pleaded guilty last spring to running a decade-long multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme from his Charlottesville office was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison November 6. Judge Norman K. Moon expressed disgust for the crime that bilked 30 of John M. Donnelly's friends and motorcycle racing teammates of more than $5 million.
"This defendant knew these victims were making life decisions," said Moon, who referred to Donnelly as "evil" at one point and scoffed when defense attorney John Davidson suggested Donnelly was sorry for the pain he'd caused.
"If they hadn't caught you, you'd be doing it still today," he said.
Early in the hearing, Davidson argued that while Donnelly had undeniably committed a crime, his immediate cooperation with authorities upon his arrest and his future ability to earn money to repay his victims should be weighed in sentencing. Donnelly is currently ordered to repay $5,311,038, although another restitution hearing will be held early next year.
"He can be entrepreneurial and successful," said Davidson, noting that before Donnelly launched fraudulent investment firms that repaid old investors with money from new ones, he ran non-financial service related businesses. In fact, one of his Ponzi companies–- Tower Analysis–- Davidson later revealed, began as a company that maintained the exterior of skyscrapers.
Judge Moon wasn't the only person in the courtroom to offer scathing rebuke. Annie Nash, a Donnelly victim, read a lengthy victim impact statement– and addressed both Donnelly, dressed neatly in a charcoal suit and blue shirt, and his wife, Deborah, sitting several rows behind her husband.
"I have been gutted," said Nash, whose parents both died suddenly several years ago leaving only the Washington, D.C. family home to Nash and her brother. Nash explained to the court that after a close friend recommended him, she invested all the proceeds from the sale of the house with Donnelly, whom she already knew.
"I went with what I thought was the best investment advice," said Nash, admitting she was a novice in money management.
Having lost her entire investment, Nash asked Moon to sentence her former friend to the maximum.
"I do not believe that Donnelly will change, and I firmly believe that he will cause harm again," she said, calling him a "pathological liar and a delusional man."
She noted Donnelly drives a Hummer, owns a large house in Crozet, 64 acres in Fluvanna, and multiple motorcycles–- all of which have or will be liquidated to help repay victims. The Donnellys, she said, "lived in luxury on the backs of my dead parents."
Donnelly was last to speak, and rather than speak directly to Judge Moon alone, he turned to address the assembled audience of family, friends, victims and various law enforcement and media.
"I'm sorry," he said loudly in a steady voice, promising, "I can do something about this."
Addressing Nash directly, he said, "I want to help you, Annie; I hope that I can, and I hope that the court will allow me to." And he offered thanks to his wife Deborah and his friend Mike Sheffield for their support.
In an unusual scene following a criminal sentencing, a stoic Donnelly walked out the front door of the courthouse arm in arm with his tearful wife. According to attorney Davidson, he will surrender to officials to begin serving time sometime in the next six weeks, after he finishes assisting with asset recovery. Until that time, he remains on house arrest, monitored by GPS.

Does anyone think this guy will serve the full 7 1/2 years ? This is where our criminal justice system falls down. I'll bet anyone he's out in half the time.
not only would a poor black man or a poor white man be in prison right away, he would be in a state penitentiary among the general population. These white collar criminals end up in minimum security detention facilities with no chance of getting sodomized, too bad.
If this man were black he would be in jail right now and not on house arrest. "Doesn't it make you feel ashamed, to live in a land where justice is a game." - Bob Dylan
Gosh Barbara,
How do you know that?
You are a scum, john donnelly, and if i were you family, I would never have anything to do with you. You are a thief and the worst part of it is that you did this to trusted friends. Jesus, I am glad I am not your friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should rot in jail for at least 50 years! And, you better pay back those who gave you their trust in their livihood. If the mafia were involved...... you would be in the bottom of the hudson river.
I don't believe there's parole in the federal system--so yes, he probably will serve the full sentence. What he won't do, though, is make more than about $100,000 of restitution--he and his wife will undoubtedly manage to protect their house and every last dime she can hold onto under her Injured Spouse status.
Thank goodness you're wrong Barbara. Deborah Donnelly was named as a relief defendant and is legally liable and required to make restitution to the victims.

How one word can divide a nation
Issued on: Modified:
In Malaysia, the word 'Allah' is causing controversy. In the predominantly Muslim country, Christians are being told that using Allah for their god is not acceptable...even though Christian bibles in Malay Language have been using it for years. Many Muslims believe the term is synonymous with Islam and its use in other religions is offensive. Now tensions between the two groups have turned violent.

Peter, Saint
Peter, Saint, d. AD 64?, most prominent of the Twelve Apostles, listed first in the Gospels, and traditionally the first bishop of Rome. His original name was Simon, but Jesus gave him the nickname Cephas [Aramaic, = rock], which was translated into Greek as Petros [Gr. petra = rock]. Peter was a native of Bethsaida and the brother of St. Andrew; he was married. He and Andrew, both fishermen, were called by Jesus to be disciples at the same time as James and John, the sons of Zebedee (Mark 1.16–20, 29–31; 3.14–16; Luke 5.1–11; John 1.40–44). There are several feasts of St. Peter in the West: St. Peter and St. Paul, June 29; the Chair of St. Peter, Apostle, Feb. 22; and St. Peter in Chains, Aug. 1. A second feast commemorating the Chair of St. Peter (i.e., his episcopal throne) was celebrated on Jan. 18 until abolished in 1960.

Watertown police warn residents of scam in shopping center parking lots
WATERTOWN >> The Watertown Police Department Patrol Division is investigating an incident which occurred in the parking lot of Adam's Supermarket located in the Watertown Plaza, 1167 Main St.
This incident occurred on Sunday, March 3, at approximately 12:10 p.m.
An elderly female operator of a vehicle was backing out of her parking space when she noticed a 25- to 35-year-old white male, medium height, thin in build with thick black hair and a thin face standing behind her car.
The elderly victim said this man began to claim that she had struck him with her motor vehicle. The victim said the man was talking very rapidly, while claiming that she had also destroyed his cellular phone by striking him with her vehicle.
The elderly victim said she did not strike him with the vehicle, and she asked the man if he was all right. She then offered to call the police.
The man told the victim not to call the police but requested that she give him $150 for striking him and destroying his cellular phone. She told him that she did not have $150 in her possession, but he asked her if she could go to a nearby ATM and withdraw that amount.
The victim complied with the request, withdrew the money and gave the male party $150. The victim observed the male party getting into a light gray or silver colored sedan, small in size, which had a dent in the passenger side front fender. No marker number was observed.

Christmas in the Country
- Gloria Gaither Author
- 2004 21 Dec
Oh there's nothing like Christmas in the country –
The simple joy of family by the fire
And carols ringing out across the valley
From neighbors that make up the village choir.
Oh, the joy of Christmas in the country
The love and warmth and gentle memories –
And knowing that the simple old sweet story
Is waiting in the country just for me.
The smell of fudge and apples from the kitchen –
The bubble lights that flicker on the tree –
The whispered sounds of secrets from the children
Embrace and call back home the likes of me.
There's nothing like Christmas in the country
When silent snow is falling on the barn,
And children press their noses to the window
As winter turns to magic the old farm.
Oh, the joy of Christmas in the country
The love and warmth and gentle memories –
And knowing that the simple old sweet story
Is waiting in the country just for me.
The laughter stops as Pop picks up the Bible
It falls from habit open to Luke 2
And none of us will never tire of hearing,
"Now children, here is how God came to you."
"There were in that same country shepherds watching
The flocks at night upon a lonely hill …"
And with his well-worn voice he tells the story
Of how God loved us once and loves us still.
Oh, the joy of Christmas in the country
The love and warmth and gentle memories –
And knowing that the simple old sweet story
Is waiting in the country just for me.

Christmas in the Country
I believe there is a homing device in every human heart. Even if we've never had a good home to go home to, there is an innate yearning for one where we are cherished and understood. In our yearning, we see this as a place of peace where there is no pretense and where we are accepted for who we truly are – not for what we've accomplished or how we look.
And there is no time like Christmas for pulling us back to such a place. Usually, how much we love and look forward to Christmas as a holiday is in direct proportion to how close to this ideal home really is. Sadly, for many the reality of the holiday is one of the most painful experiences of the year.
Perhaps the reason we cling to the ideal at Christmas more than at any other time is that this celebration is in honor of the One who came to bring true peace, joy, love, and a place to belong. And the truth is that no family home and no human relationship can ever totally give us what we need. Every parent fails sometimes. Every love falls short. Every child disappoints and turns prodigal at one time or another. No sibling is totally supportive or faithful to protect the secrets with which he or she has been entrusted.
Even so, home is the nearest thing we have to a metaphor for belonging. The imperfection of us all keeps us yearning for another place – the place that will truly be Home.
Thankfully, our memories tend to preserve the good and forgive the flawed. I'm sure my grandma's house in the country was not as good as I remember it. The "front room," as she called it, was not as big, the kitchen not as warm, the snows not as white or as deep as in my memories of trudging through them to get to that farmhouse with the fieldstone porch.
As I recall, she and Grandpa opened the big double doors to that front room only for special occasions. The piano was in there, and she would always have the old itinerant piano tuner come just before Christmas so we could sing carols around that piano when we all crowded in.
The Christmas tree she put in that room was not a pine, but a cedar tree Pa would cut fresh from the woods behind the barn. The ornaments were of World War II vintage and before – scenes painted on clear glass balls – and there were strips of foil we called "ice sickles," big lights of every color, and real candy canes. Grandma would always make fresh popcorn balls with sorghum molasses, wrap them in a new thing called Saran Wrap, and hang them on the tree for us kids to "snitch" when no one was looking.
Grandma baked for days before Christmas: pies of apples and cherries from their orchard, fudge, taffy, divinity layered in boxes between buttered sheets of waxed paper, cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and homemade bread. These were all prepared before the real cooking started.
To this day, I find myself running my fingers over mixing bowls in antiques shops that have brown and gold sheaves of wheat on them or picking up green Fire King baking dishes and pie pans, longing to take them home to see if they would somehow turn things I make into the magical tastes of my childhood for my grandkids to remember.
Country life always seemed to separate the boys and the men from the women and the girls. The guys would "mosey" out to the barn to talk to Pa while he milked the two cows they always kept to supply them with milk and butter. The boys would help him throw down hay for the night, feed the cats, and gather the eggs from the henhouse. On summer mornings gathering eggs was Grandma's job, but in the winter when she was less sure of her footing, Pa brought in the eggs.
Meanwhile, the women would take up stations in the kitchen peeling potatoes, opening jars of green beans Grandma had canned the summer before, and cutting up squash, onions, brussels sprouts, and turnips. The girls would set up the table in the living room, then work on the jigsaw puzzle that became a family project all through the days of Christmas.
I don't remember much about the gifts. They were simple, practical, and usually handmade. I do remember hugs and "thank you's." I remember Grandma loving whatever I gave her as if she's been wanting it all her life. I have a picture of someone in our family holding up a string of pearls – probably ordered from the Sears catalog ("the wish book," we called it) – and looking as if this necklace were as precious and rare as diamonds.
There was never any doubt why we had Christmas. Since Grandma had lost most of her eyesight, my daddy read the Christmas story from Luke while the children sat on someone's lap or on the floor, leaning back on some seated grown-up's knees. We all knew the words by heart, but familiar as they were, they always brought tears to our eyes – as though we were hearing this wonderful story for the first time.
Grandma would pray, and when she prayed the angels quit swishing their wings and got still. We knew that sooner or later every one of our names would be specifically mentioned; Grandma would thank the Lord for the gift of each one of us and ask His tender care and guidance as we grew and changed and became what He intended for us to be.
After prayer and presents, the music would begin. Grandma played both the piano and the guitar; Pa played the "fiddle" and the "mouth harp." We all knew sooner or later he'd grab Grandma by the arm and try to make her dance around the room; she'd say, "Oh, Pop, quit!" And we'd all laugh.
The children would ask for their favorite of the songs that Grandma had always sung to them: "Redwing," "Mockingbird Hill," or "Listen to the Mockingbird." It never seemed strange that all our favorite songs were about birds.
We also sang Grandma's favorites: "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," "I Must Tell Jesus," and "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms."
It seems to me now, looking back, that I was the most adored of the children, and I know all the grandchildren would say they thought they were. The truth is, we all were.
As night fell and the kerosene lamps were lit, it seems to me the love in that house could be touched – like soft velvet or the smooth fur of a kitten. The snow could pile to the eaves for all we cared. We were home, we were fed, and we were loved.
When Bill and I started thinking about recording a video for Christmas with the Homecoming Friends that would be "Christmas in the Country," it was the images of my own childhood home and the rituals that have now been handed down first to Bill and me, then to our children, and now to their children.
Someday there will be a new celebration in a new Country. There will be no gap between the ideal and the reality; the relationships around that circle will be perfect and totally beautiful. There will be songs of thanksgiving and praise for Christmas completed, for the One who brought heaven to earth will have then brought earth to heaven, and we all will finally be home.
A Prayer for Christmas
Lord, thank You for being so persistent and so very patient with us, even though often we've failed to recognize Your hand reaching in our lives. And even though often we've actually rejected Your direction to follow our own selfish whims, still You forgave us … and more, You've even offered us a way to share in Your very own life. Thank you, Lord.

For lower income older Americans, Medicaid has been incremental in providing quality healthcare and a higher quality of living. But Medicaid is not just for older Americans. During 2014, it helped 31 million children, 19 million adults and 9 million disabled persons, in addition to servicing 5 million older Americans, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
The purpose of Medicaid is to provide financially challenged Americans with quality healthcare. The most recent findings reveal that since the Affordable Care Act was passed, Medicaid has helped reduce the number of uninsured Americans from 43 million to 26 million. Current projections show that 14 million more Americans will be enrolled by the year 2020, perhaps the most encouraging of all Medicaid facts.
High Participation Rates
The participation rate in Medicaid is impressive. About 65% of low-income families who were eligible had already enrolled as of 2014. With more states adopting the reform, the expansion is moving along. Current statistics have found that 87.5% of children who are eligible have enrolled in the Children's Health Insurance Program, according to the Urban Institute. As time passes, it's anticipated that this number could rise dramatically.
Chronic Conditions
The goal of Medicaid is to improve care for lower income persons, and to help those who are suffering from chronic conditions gain access to the medical care that they need. During a study of Oregon's Medicaid system, it was found that 40% of the beneficiaries were less likely to suffer from a health decline, telling of the efficiency of this system. They also were found to have a better approach to preventative care as well when access to this care was feasible.
Current State of Medicaid
Currently, Medicaid provides help to millions of people, including even financial support, helping 2.6 million people get out of poverty in 2010 alone, representing nearly a 0.7% national drop. In addition, ongoing research has found that beneficiaries are 40% less likely to go into medical debt, helping to preserve a future generation.
As you can see, there is much to know about Medicare that most people are unaware of. It's certainly available to any older Americans who might be struggling financially, too. If you are interested in learning more about it, you can visit the website for this service online at: http://www.medicaid.gov.

2-2 record: Now's no time for Cav desperation
Fans who are having anxiety attacks over UVA's losses to UNC and Southern Miss need to breathe into a paper bag and splash their face with cold water. And if that doesn't help, they can try remembering that even though they're stressful, the losses are part of a larger picture and a necessary, albeit frustrating, step on the road to success.
Perhaps due to all the talk of super recruits and bowl games and how Mike London makes every other coach look like a hack, Virginia's football program is virtually trapped in a snare of its own making. A 2-2 record is not where the team expected to be at the end of September. Most people found a way to treat Virginia's loss to UNC like a win, but the loss to Southern Miss? Not so easy to spin.
Virginia put in the work. Their early-morning practices are already the stuff of legend. September 24 was supposed to be the day good intentions and hard work came together in a compelling Cavalier victory. Instead it was a slap in the face. A Roanoke Times photo shows offensive guard Luke Bowanko sitting on the sidelines with his head in his hands. Luke Bowanko hanging his head– for what?
In every sports facility– and UVA is certainly no exception– somewhere in the labyrinth of offices, hallways, tunnels and locker rooms, is a poster of a sunset. Or a waterfall. Or a rainbow. Or a baby duck or a mountaintop. And under the sunset or rainbow are probably some words about opportunity or perseverance or ambition or courage or success accompanied by a quotation.
There's also always one about failure. That poster is perfect for UVA football at this moment. Stand in front of the word "FAILURE"; reflect on it for a while. Making friends with failure is the best thing the Cavaliers can do.
If London, his staff, and his team had engaged in this exercise months ago, they might not be consumed with an obsessive need to immediately change everyone else's perception of Virginia's football program now. Their desire to win is dangerously close to becoming an all-consuming fear of failure.
A 2006 Business Week cover story entitled, "How Failure Breeds Success" put it this way: "Everyone fears failure. But breakthroughs depend on it." If that weren't true, there would be no basis for the tacky poster in the cheap frame. People have to accept that failure is crucial to learning and improving if they want to succeed.
But it doesn't seem Mike London is there yet. After the loss to Southern Miss, he seemed more desperate than anything. "We've got to come out and win," he said. "You've got to make it better. You've got to make the plays."
Someone please get Mike London a cold washcloth and a paper bag. Better than what? Make what plays? Whom are you trying to convince? Take a look, Coach London, your team is better; they are making plays.
There's one quote in particular the Cavaliers should ponder, cheap poster or no. Colin Powell said, "There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure." Virginia is putting in the preparation and hard work, but in order to learn from failure, Mike London and his team have to stop being afraid of it. If UVA can do that and learn a little patience for good measure, it won't be long until some other school starts handing out paper bags.

Mike L will make them losers winners!
Lots of faith in Coach London. Things take time.
We will never get into the top ten as long as we have an honor code and a respect for the acedemic integrity of the University. The whole corporate takeover of college football and basketball is so antithetical to the meaning and value of higher education. I heard a playback of coach Poindexter on wina the other night; he was so inarticulate and vague that I was amazed that A) he ever graduated from uva, and B) the U would hire someone like him to be a role model for undergraduates. To me it is becoming increasingly unclear what the connection between higher education and semi-pro sports is all about.
We are still ranked better academically than the greater majority of the schools we play. I think that is more important.
Baby ducks, wet wash clothes and Colin Powell?
It would be better for the Hook not to cover sports at all than this poor excuse for a column. It's superficial, lacks local content, and could so much better with someone else at the helm.
Just tune into the Badgers if you get too depressed and watch some real football.
What is one of the highest paying jobs in america today, answer: professional athelete.
What is one of the main reasons to attend college, answer: to get a high paying job.
Get rid of the sham that are NCAA rules and create a career path for the college athelete to enter the world of pro sports, marketing, sales, playing a sport etc.
Bring money to the university with great sports teams and spend it on the engineering school.
You are the exact reason that we can't have a successful program year after year...Are you that stupid???? Do you want a football coach or do you want an english professor???? And trust me when I tell you, the same guys that you are wanting to bring a winning program are the same kind of guys as Anthony Poindexter. Who cares if he uses perfect English 24/7...he is more of a role model than you are!!! You stupid fools that post IGNORANCE and hind behind a computer and a fake screen name...
Get a job, life something...and PLEASE keep your FAIR WEATHER ASS AWAY from UVA FOOTBALL!!!! Btw How many years did you actually play football???? And better yet...how long have you been coaching football???? That's what I thought...

If you're considering maple hardwood, it's time to meet the experts at Floor Coverings International Woodbridge. We provide quality products and service to the greater Woodbridge, Manassas, Dale City, Lake Ridge area.
Maple hardwood flooring ranks high on the Janka hardness scale, making it a great choice for high foot traffic areas of your home like kitchens and hallways. For that reason, you're likely to see maple hardwood in common places such as basketball courts, bowling alleys, and sports arenas. While traditionally light tan in color, the shade of maple hardwood flooring can vary based on age, the area where it was grown, and the stain or finish used to treat the wood.
Maple is relatively easy to clean and maintain. Simply sweep the surface regularly to remove debris and wipe with a damp cloth to remove any spots or spills. Your floor may also require periodic refinishing depending on the care and amount of foot traffic it receives.
Maple hardwood flooring is available in a wide array of shades, and is suitable for any family's flooring needs. The three varieties of grain available include:
- Flame maple: Has wavy red lines and is often used to make acoustic guitars and other musical instruments
- Quilted maple: Bears a resemblance to a quilt or ripples on water
- Bird's eye: Most common and has a distinctive pattern that resembles a bird's eye
Maple is also becoming an increasingly popular type of laminate, which gives homeowners the look of maple at a lower price point.

Let the experts at Floor Coverings International Woodbridge help you find your perfect style of maple hardwood flooring. Contact us today to schedule your free in-home consultation.

High winds, heavy snow slam Northwest
- 84 mph gust recorded at the mouth of the Columbia River.
- Thousands powerless in Washington state.
- Snow accumulations in the Oregon Cascades will total 1 to 2 feet.
SEATTLE (AP) -- The strongest Northwest storm of the season blew in early Monday on winds that gusted to more than 80 mph on the coast, knocking out power in places and creating blizzard-like conditions in the mountains.
The storm is headed east along the U.S.-Canada border, said meteorologist Danny Mercer.
"It doesn't look like a big snow or wind producer for the rest of the U.S. It looks like the biggest impact was here," he said.
But another storm is splitting off from that - "part of the same trough" - and heading south. It's likely to bring snow along the Rockies, include the Boulder-Denver area, late Tuesday into Wednesday, Mercer said.
The highest winds hit Sunday evening with an 84 mph gust recorded at the mouth of the Columbia River and an 81 mph gust on the central Oregon coast, said meteorologist Scott Weishaar in Portland.
Winds early Monday hit 60 mph on the Washington coast and 55 mph in the south Puget Sound area, said meteorologist Ted Buehner in Seattle.
Winds brought tree limbs down on power lines. Seattle City Light had 11,000 customers out of service at one time. Puget Sound Energy had 17,000 outages, mostly in the south King County area, southeast of Seattle.
Portland General Electric responded to dozens of power outages in the metro area. Pacific Power had about 10,000 outages throughout western Oregon.
Winds knocked a tree onto a home in Lakewood, Wash., near where a 2-year-old was sleeping, but it missed the baby's crib. Winds also were blamed for sinking two boats on Lake Washington at Kirkland, Wash., and the fire department helped two people who were sleeping on one of the boats, KOMO Radio reported.
Heavy snow fell in the mountains. Accumulations from the storm that started Sunday are likely to total 2 to 3 feet by Tuesday morning in the Washington Cascades, Buehner said.
Snow is already on the ground in parts of Eastern Washington, including Spokane, but downtown streets were clear by Monday afternoon.
"A wide variety of winter weather is clearly affecting the entire state," Buehner said. "It's the strongest storm of the year, so far."
Wind speeds of more than 60 mph were reported in Eastern Washington at Pullman on Monday morning, and power company Avista reported thousands of customers without power in its large service area. Winds of more than 50 mph were reported in Spokane, and a tree fell on two homes. No injuries were reported.
Winds delayed work on the Hanford nuclear reservation in southeast Washington. A large accumulation of tumbleweeds blocked some roadways, the Tri-City Herald reported. Washington Closure Hanford canceled outdoor environmental cleanup work because of the winds.
Snow accumulations in the Oregon Cascades will total 1 to 2 feet, Weishaar said.
Four construction workers at a cellphone tower project on Steens Mountain in southeast Oregon were stranded when their snow cat became stuck in a drift Saturday. They waded through waist-deep snow to reach a heated shelter with electricity.
Harney County rescuers were turned back Sunday by white-out conditions. Sheriff Dave Glerup said conditions Monday were too treacherous to send up another team or deploy a National Guard helicopter. Another attempt isn't likely until Tuesday afternoon.
Tim Fought in Portland and Nicholas K. Geranios in Spokane contributed to this report.


text: BillieJo Youmans 8 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I shared this letter with Diana and she felt it might be of interest..I was able to use a list from HSLDA that provided te names of all the Education Committee participants and sent this to all 17 online. May it be of use as you write your own perspective. If anyone needs the direct link to the HSLDA page, just let me know. I am writing to encourage you to oppose House Bill 3478. We have homeschooled our children throughout their educational careers. Our son will graduate this year and plans to attend a local college while working and pursuing additional career-specific training. Our daughter will enter eleventh grade next year and will take advantage of dual enrollment courses. We do not oppose testing; in fact it can be beneficial. We have utilized it in our schooling. We, like most homeschoolfamilies, are serious about education. However, this bill requires children to take tests designed in accordance with public school curriculum. One of the complaints I often hear from public school teachers is the necessity of 'teaching for the test.' We, as home educators, believe education is much more than 'spitting back answers' for a test. Testing is simply a tool and should not be a driving force of education. While public schools may have no other method for gauging progress, homeschool is far more personal and capable of evaluations beyond a test. Also, many families, like our own, utilize Christian world-view programs that do not espouse the ideas of public school programs (e.g. historical perspectives,evolutionary concepts). Home educators also often alter course sequences to accommodate siblings. Public testing is based on a system not employed by home educators and is highly unfair because of that. We previously lived, and taught, under the laws of New York State. Prior to moving here our students were tested annually with a norm-referenced national standardized test administered by me in a structured setting (timed with no assistance). We chose Option Three here in South Carolina as it most closely aligned with the structure of NY. In fact, South Carolina is nearly as rigorous as NY in regulations on home education. I personally do not feel there is a tremendous need for change. In fact, I believe Option III is the best structure for quality home education. It requires the most intensive involvement of parents in their children's education. It allows for flexibility in course selection, increases the responsibility of parents and overall improves the home education experience. I will be very disappointed if we have to alter our education plans in the final year of our daughter's academic career. I will also be very sad for parents who will not have the option we have utilized. Education is a right and responsibility of parents. I am sorry this letter is so long. I am a passionate home educator. I believe this bill is wrong on many levels. I am a better parent because of the effort I have had to invest in home education. Our family is stronger…and our community benefits from those strengths. Home education is a benefit to families and communities. Please do not hinder it through passing this law. Sincerely, Billie Jo Youmans Richburg, SC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cambridge Analytica
A data-driven political marketing company that worked on many different campaigns around the world. Cambridge Analytica uses data from a variety of sources combined with psychological profiles and surveys to target advertisements. It has been at the center of recent scandals due to the misuse of Facebook data when working on the Trump campaign.
An undercover investigation revealed that in some cases they may conceal their involvement in elections with front companies/partner companies or use more dubious tactics such as bribery and honey traps. Cambridge Analytica was also working on a cryptocurrency to enable people to sell their data to advertisers.
Due to a series of scandals, Cambridge Analytica and many of its associated companies were closed. However, Cambridge Analytica is far from unique and many other companies use similar techniques and data.

Cool Million Gets BlackBerry's Juices Flowing
Mar 14, 2013 3:26 PM PT
BlackBerry announced that an unnamed customer has placed an order for 1 million BlackBerry Z10 smartphones, making it the largest-ever single purchase in its history. Shipments are to begin immediately.
BlackBerry executives hailed the order as a "tremendous vote of confidence" in BlackBerry 10.
A Drop in the Bucket
However, applied to total sales, the number is not very significant, suggested Andreas Scherer, managing partner of Salto Partners.
In the last quarter of 2012, Samsung sold more than 60 million phones, including the popular Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II models. Apple sold almost 48 million iPhones in the same quarter, he noted.
"Even Nokia sold 4.4 million Lumia smartphones in Q4 2012," Scherer told the E-Commerce Times.
Nonetheless, the number is huge for BlackBerry, said Scott Snyder, president and cofounder of Mobiquity.
"This order will make a big near-term difference for RIM, given it is now selling about 6-7 million devices per quarter," he told the E-Commerce Times.
What's even more significant about the order is that it suggests BlackBerry may have finally started to reverse its fortunes with its new OS and device line-up.
In addition to promoting its new BB 10 operating system, BlackBerry has been emphasizing its strong history of security. The sheer size of the million-device order suggests it came from a government agency or huge multinational company -- in other words, an entity that would be highly sensitive to security.
A Secure Status
There is little doubt of BlackBerry's security bona fides, Rob Enderle, principal of the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times.
"BlackBerry has the only volume platform designed from the ground up to be secure," he said. "There are a lot of companies and government agencies that have security requirements that the other platforms can't meet, largely because the OS was designed against a consumer requirement placing ease of use over security."
Meanwhile, malware against Android is growing at an estimated 41 percent annually, and firms like McAfee are regularly demonstrating how easy it is to penetrate the other platforms, Enderle continued.
Many IT managers are increasingly afraid that both a breach and being found negligent for it are a given with the other products, and they would like to avoid that potentially career-ending event.
"This purchase is likely the result of one or more of these entities realizing that the policies that surround them still require a BlackBerry level of security and protection," said Enderle.
BlackBerry's focus on separating personal and work data on its new devices is proving to be a strong selling point, said Bruno Scap, founder and president of Galeas Consulting.
With BlackBerry 10, work information is kept separate, as personal applications cannot access work information, and work information can't be pasted into personal applications or emails, he said.
"While BlackBerry may never regain its previous popularity, its unique combination of features makes it attractive for certain types of organizations, like governments and those in tightly regulated industries," Scap told the E-Commerce Times.
A Significant Signal?
"If BlackBerry shows patience and slowly rebuilds it reputation for making secure and scalable devices, and at the same time keeps up with developments in the user application space, it has a good chance of doing well long-term," Scap predicted.
Still, the 1-million order is just a data point, said Salto's Scherer -- not necessarily an augur of more and better deals to come.
"One swallow doesn't not make a summer, one football game doesn't make a season, and a 1-million cellphone order does not quite make a serious contender in the mobile cellphone business," he said.
Still, a beginning has been made, Scherer acknowledged. "Perhaps this order indicates that things are finally changing towards the better over at BlackBerry. We can always hope that there will be more news like this from the company."

In the Body Weight & Shape Research Lab (BWSRL), we adopt primarily a psychosocial perspective to explore questions regarding the interpretation and management of body weight and shape within various sociocultural contexts (e.g., social relationships, college environment) and populations (e.g., young adults, adults transitioning into marriage). Additionally, we explore how feedback about body weight and shape influences body image and health behavior. The BWSRL explores these research areas using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies operationalized through the use of surveys, experiments, and interviews (e.g., one-on-one, small focus groups). A better understanding of how members within a society define and negotiate body weight and shape can inform the development of health promotion and disease prevention efforts.
