Amritsar : In the embrace of the Golden Community
Amritsar Travel Blog› entry 227 of 268 › view all entries
November 11th, 2009 – by: Stevie_Wes
My three days stop in the travel-renowned Sri Guru Ram Das Niwas 'foreigners' dormitory and my observations and little communal interactions within the jewelled bubble of the world of the Golden Temple complex gave me one of the richest experiences of my journey thus far. A time for warm feelings and friendships new and old. I arrive in Amritsar on the 'stupid o'clock' bus ( 3.30am start!) from McLeod Ganj/ Dharamsala in the company of Jantine my Dutch pal and new acquaintances Jade (France), Petra (Germany) and David (Israel). We meet Lucy for the first time who will soon endure the Vipassana meditation course in Dehradun with Jantine and I as well as becoming my firm friend and travel pal for two weeks in Varanasi.
Also, stepping into the dorm one evening a lady sits cross-legged upon one of the dorm beds with her back to me talking to two Brit lads. I recognise the New Zealander accent, though the hair's darker than it was a year ago. I spot a heavily kitted bicycle leant up against the dormitory wall and start plotting '2 + 2 = ?' in my mind. Could it really be?! I sit and listen some more. 'Kylie?!' 'Steeeeeeve!! Ohmygod!' Yep, almost precisely one year to the day since I traveled with her in Petra in Jordan it's the Kiwi Queen of Adventuring Kylie Phaup-Stephens. She's currently in the middle of a London to New Zealand bike journey (!!!), returning home after over half a decade living and working in Britain.
The 'free' dormitory is a bit of a travel legend and often referred to by those who've gone before you as 'an experience' but always in slightly negative tones I've found. Tones implying great privations; discomforts and 'you might wanna look elsewhere' kinda vibes.
... because what you are reminded of and encouraged to reconsider while staying at the Golden Temple is what it is to have a sense of Community.
The real fun is to be had in and around the Gura-Ka-Langar dining hall. It is incumbent upon Sikhs as a keystone of their faith that food and shelter be provided to strangers; to travelers, whether of the faith or not, when visiting a Gurdwara - the name given to any Sikh temple or building that covers a copy of their holy book the Adi Granth or Guru Granth Sahib.
Between the hours of about 8.00am and 23.00pm meals are served without cease to the thousands upon thousands of people that visit every day. Kitted out with your metal thali trays and water bowls you ascend the white marble steps and scurry across to grab your spot on the floor of the huge two-storied dining hall where long thin strip lengths of hessian carpet rapidly fill up with the bums of those with hungry tums. Sat in a grinning line Jantine, Jade, Petra, Dave and I bask in the quizzical gazes of our Sikh co-munchers and watch as the serving boys and men dash along the line with military canteen efficiency slopping and dolling out all kinds of curious looking yumminess.
I wish I could give you some stats on the numbers of meals prepared and served at The Golden Temple every day but sadly I can't at this time.
Two obvious realisations that spring from so many thousands upon thousands of meals a day. That's a lot of food preparation and whole heck of a lot of washing up to do! And this is where the community spirit kicks into full throttle.
The grounds in the immediate surrounds of the dining hall positively hum and judder with the activity of hundreds of people, all visitors to the Temple, surrendering portions of their day to support the never ending provision of langar. Men, women and children of all ages sit about on the floor in groups peeling and cutting potatoes, chopping vegetables, sifting dahl, finely chopping onion and garlic bulbs, the latter operation first requiring whole teams of people to painstakingly sit and peel the garlic bulb by bulb by bulb. One of my favourite visions in Amritsar is that of the superbly, formidably dressed, regally bearded old Sikh men - representatives of this proud warrior community - hunkered down picking and faffing about trying to get their fingers (more used to clutching the handles of their traditional Kirpan swords) under the skin of a solitary garlic bulbs.
I of course happily do my bit. A three hour stint in the metal-clattering, pot and pan battering madness and mayhem of the washing up troughs. A large covered annex of the dining hall area filled with row after row of industrial sized metal washing troughs. Time to roll up your sleeves, grab a scrap of cloth-knotted soap and get scrubbing! The never ending river of diners exit the hall and hand their dirties to a group of guys that hurl them, leftovers a-flying, into huge two-man-handle metal tubs that are then hauled over to the washing troughs, lifted and cascaded, smashing and splashing down into the ever murkier wash waters where like fish fighting for scraps of thrown bread all of us volunteers scrabble around to grab utensils to enthusiastically wash and smash onto the drying racks so as to feel we're doing our bit for the process of community.
Activity in all its forms - the washing, cutting, chopping, cooking and eating; the laughter and prayer; the expressions of faith; the music that is played and broadcast live almost without break from the heart of the Temple; the clicks of a thousand cameras; the chatter of a thousand tongues; the kids and their running and screaming and fun; people living and sleeping and dreaming and weeping in awe at the beauty of the Temple- the activity never stops, all around the clock at The Golden Temple.

There is no crisis right now in the American food supply. There are no headlines warning about deadly food-borne illnesses or massive product recalls. In fact, the dozen or so federal agencies responsible for ensuring our food is safe do a pretty good job.
This quiet, drama-free moment is a good time for federal officials to dispassionately consider how to make the splintered system even better. That's what President Barack Obama and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) are prodding Congress to do.
In the 2016 budget Obama submitted to Congress this month, he proposed consolidating all the agencies with a role in food safety into one agency. Gillibrand has introduced legislation with the same objective.
The cornucopia of agencies splitting authority over inspections, enforcement and recalls is classic Washington. It's a bureaucratic tangle that defies logic, invites duplication and leads to overregulation.
For example, the Food and Drug Administration is responsible for the safety of whole eggs in their shells. But the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service inspects whole eggs for appearance, condition of the shell and grading. And the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service oversees processed egg products.
A cheese pizza and its ingredients are regulated by the FDA. Add pepperoni and the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service gets involved because it regulates open-faced meat or poultry sandwiches. But closed-faced meat or poultry sandwiches are inspected by the FDA. Go figure.
This fractured system developed over time as Congress layered on laws to address specific concerns. Against all odds it has helped ensure that Americans don't have to worry too much about what they eat. Still, the Centers for Disease Control estimates that 128,000 people are hospitalized and 3,000 die each year of food-borne diseases.
The consolidation of all critical responsibilities under one bureaucratic roof would make our food safety system better, more efficient and, by reducing duplication, might even save a few taxpayer dollars.

Clubbed Thumb commissions, develops and produces funny, strange and provocative new plays by living American writers. Clubbed Thumb is a groundbreaker, with a precise curatorial vision and a remarkable track record for launching artists' careers; and an incubator, nurturing plays, collaborations, and above all artists, through thoughtfully deployed resources, opportunities, mentorship and hospitality.
Clubbed Thumb's plays vary in style and content, but are always 90 minutes or under. They feature substantial and challenging roles for both men and women, are questioning, formally inventive, theatrical, and exhibit a sense of humor. Since its founding in 1996, the company has presented nearly 100 productions, and has been awarded 5 Obies, including the Ross Wetzsteon award for sustained excellence.
In SUMMERWORKS, now in its 22nd year, we produce an aesthetically diverse season of three new plays, each of which has two weeks of performances. It often provides a writers' first professional opportunity – Clare Barron and Gina Gionfriddo had their first shows in Summerworks; Sarah Ruhl, Jordan Harrison and Lisa D'Amour made their NYC debuts.
Outside of Summerworks we have also produced plays by Deborah Eisenberg, Mac Wellman, Jeffrey Jones, Erin Courtney, Rinne Groff, Adam Bock, Jordan Harrison, Sheila Callaghan and, in 2016, a re-mount of Jaclyn Backhaus's Men On Boats.
Clubbed Thumb has two paths to commissioning: The Clubbed Thumb Biennial Commission, a $15,000 award, which has an open-application process in which submissions are read blind (7 plays to date); and commissions via other organizations, primarily NYSCA (12 plays). Currently commissioned: Jenny Schwartz, Madeleine George, Rinne Groff and Alex Borinsky.
Clubbed Thumb offers several development programs:
Superlab: a five-play development series co-curated with Playwrights Horizons.
The Clubbed Thumb Writers' Group: eight mid-career alumni playwrights develop their work over 12 three-hour sessions. Culminates in an annual retreat at Two River Theatre in July.
Other activity includes: Script-revision workshops of plays by new, alumni, and commissioned playwrights; staging & design workshops; occasional co-productions with Playwrights Horizons Theater School and an open play submission policy.
Early-Career Writers' Group: Eight playwrights and mentors are nominated by our mid-career alumni playwrights. In addition to regular meetings, the writers create a collaborative piece to open Summerworks, and each writer has a reading during Summerworks as well.
Early-Career Directing Fellowship: CT directors Anne Kauffman and Ken Rus Schmoll mentor three early-career directors in a five-month new play directing intensive. Each director is paired with an early/mid-career playwright to develop a new piece with students at Playwrights Horizons Theater School over the course of three months. This is followed by a three-week process with professional actors, stage managers and designers, culminating in workshop presentations.
Producing Fellowship: Two early-career creative producers assist on all programming, as well as casting, script evaluation, management and marketing under the guidance/mentorship of Clubbed Thumb staff, culminating in hands-on roles in Summerworks.

Picture: Tatum O'Neal leaving the Season 4 Premiere of 'Rescue Me' held at the AMC Empire Theatre New York City, USA - 04.06.07
Russian girl-on-girl duo Tatu have allegedly been banned from Prince WILLIAM'S 21st birthday party - because his dad Prince Charles thinks they are too rude.
The PRINCE OF WALES is hosting a party at Buckingham Palace on 21 June (03), with Atomic Kitten, Will Young and Emma Bunton being among invited acts.
But while hunky William was keen for LENA KATINA and Julia Volkova to perform, his dad put his foot down.
A palace mole tells British tabloid the SUNDAY PEOPLE, "William is keen on Tatu but when he told his dad he was thinking of inviting them he was told it wasn't to be."27/04/2003 14:50

Obama 96.3% Chance of Winning!
As I was reading through a recent issue of Sports Illustrated lately I came across an article about a site called FiveThirtyEight.com. It's page 22 of the October 13, 2008 issue if you want to pull up the article for yourself. Nate Silver, the site's creator, is a managing partner of Baseball Prospectus who invented PECOTA. Yes that's right Nate is applying sabermetrics to political polling! I have to say it's a freaking great idea!
By analyzing data while also comparing the data to historical trends and players of comparable talent and age PECOTA is better able to predict a players future returns based on a little more than just a guess and last year's numbers. FiveThirtyEight, which is the number of votes in the electoral college if you didn't pick up on that, combines similar polling data weighing it for historical accuracies and timeliness to more accurately make an educated guess about upcoming election.
So is it exactly right? Well maybe or maybe not, but as of this morning the site is giving Obama the above mentioned 96.3% chance of winning the election. I for one have really gotten interested in voting this time around. I'll be the first to admit I'm twenty-seven years old and have never voted for a president before and fall in that demographic of individuals excited about casting my vote this election.
Me being the analytical junkie that I am I want more than just cherry picked poll data and this site is the answer!
Also just for the record. I've voting for Obama. Which is probably why this site is exiting and even worth mentioning this. But hey… it's my blog and I can write what I want too.

Our entire MS does a yard clean up day for Bello Machre every Spring. We take out over 250 people to about 20 homes to help out the group. The kids love doing the work and helping out in the community and the residents love having us there.
My main interests in this charity is its commitment to helping adults with disabilities. Lots of emphasis is placed on the social aspects of the adult. Becoming more a part of the community, allows everyone to participate in activities with people of all abilities and disabilities. This charity does all it can to make sure that all adults are active, involved and included.
I first learned about Bello Machre, about 4 years ago, by helping my young daughter make greeting cards (at our temple) to be distributed to the Bello Machre residents. They love receiving mail, just like anyone else... I've been told residents will hang their cards up (signed, "Your friend") and show it off to anyone who comes to visit! I was curious about the organization and wanted my daughter to understand who would be receiving her cards. In addition to heading up the yearly card making project, I started organizing home visits w/ the young children of our temple to different Bello Machre homes - to make crafts, share a snack and spend some time. It was amazing how much EVERYONE enjoyed these visits. We then organized the same thing for a group of 7th graders, as part of their volunteer/giving back to the community project. At this particular home, a gentleman loves music, so we brought instruments and had a jam session. This same man was recently married and his wife loved showing off her wedding album to the girls. Some of those kids have become regular volunteers w/ Bello Machre. For the past year, I have been taking my 2 daughters (ages 3 & 7) to a Bello Machre home for a monthly visit. We have become friends w/ 4 wonderful women (3 residents and one care taker) and we all look forward to seeing each other and catching up on what has happened since we last hung out. We mostly do crafts, sometimes play games and always share a snack or meal. It's been so fun having 4 more people enjoy watching my children grow. It is important to me that all children do not grow up w/ prejudices against disabled people. One parent of the above 7th graders actually told me that I opened her eyes and taught her tolerance, through her son's great experience with Bello Machre. I can't take the credit. Bello Machre is an amazing organization, providing such loving care to people in need. They help families feel secure that their adult children/family members will be not only provided for, but given a chance to thrive. I love that the homes are in residential neighborhoods, that they provide jobs or day services for the individuals and treat them with the respect they deserve. The volunteer coordinators have spoken to different groups at our temple. They are amazing in educating and inspiring people about Bello Machre. I feel volunteering at Bello Machre has enriched people's lives. In return, it has definitely enriched my family's life, as well.
I just started volunteering with Bello Machre this year and I'm glad I did. I have been exposed to a community that respects, supports and love one another. Everyone chips in to make sure an event is successful. I have never worked this closely with individuals with disabilities but whether in a wheelchair or speech impaired each of them show gratitude for the opportunity to interact with you. They are very comfortable with who they are and therefore it puts you at ease when talking or working with them. Again, I am very thankful that I am able to be a part of such a great community especially one that appreciates even the smallest amount of contribution or time you may have to give.
My internship at Bello Machre was an amazing experience. I learned so much from the staff and the individuals. Evette was such a pleasure to work with. She really does a remarkable job bringing the community together. At the Kurtch house I witnessed the staffs unconditional dedication. They treated the individuals as if they were family which is what makes this agency so amazing and different from the rest. I would definitely recommend this agency to anyone looking to volunteer and individuals with disabilities.
I've grown up around Bello Machre for all of my life. For about 20 years, my mom has worked there, and I have spent lengthy amount times at Bello doing volunteer work and enjoying the people there. I've organized a high school, national honor society committee with them, and all my friends and peers that get to see the results of Bello: ecstatic, comforted, healthy, developmentally-disabled adults, have absolutely fallen in love with the great work of this organization as well. Bello helps save lives of thousands of developmentally-disabled adults, who might not otherwise be in the loving homecare and lifestyle that they attain with Bello.
My experience with Bello Machre spans decades. This organization has been unwaveringly consistent in its focus on serving the needs of the individual first. A big part of this is creating a family atmosphere. To do that, you have to have qualified, dedicated and long serving staff & volunteers and this is where Bello Machre shines. We have two family members served by Bello Machre. They've been in weddings, gone on family vacations, and simply been a member of the families of staff. It's like they have their own families. So many individuals with developmental disabilities don't have the opportunity to experience this natural part of life. That our family members have had this opportunity is pretty miraculous and such a blessing. It would not have happened without Bello Machre.

When the Miami Marlins signed right-handed pitcher Kevin Slowey in the offseason, the first reaction was that he would be fighting for the fifth spot in the rotation. With injuries to Nathan Eovaldi and Henderson Alvarez and one of the top pitching prospects in Jacob Turner not doing well in Spring Training, it is Slowey's chance to show if he has anything left in the tank since he has not started a game since 2011 with the Minnesota Twins. However, in his first start with the Marlins, he will have a tough task as he gets ready to take on the Washington Nationals.
Slowey has never pitched against the Nationals before in his career. However, he has had one of the easier transitions coming to the team since his former battery mate, Mike Redmond, is his manager. That has translated into a decent Spring Training when Slowey struck out 17 batters and allowed five runs in the six games that he played in. That's a great improvement considering he has not pitched against major-league-type players since September of 2011. Last season, he spent some time in the Cleveland Indians farm system but never made it up to the major league level.
Slowey will be pitching against Gio Gonzalez of the Nationals. Gonzalez faced some controversy this offseason when he was named in the New Miami Times report linking him to Anthony Bosch's Biogenesis clinic. With that behind him and proving that he is clean, Gonzalez is ready for the 2013 season. Gonzalez does not have a win in two starts against the Marlins. He has a 3.86 ERA and 19 strikeouts.

text: Let me first say that I truly appreciate the folks here and the forum that supports everyone from noob to pros. With that said, I am coming from a Droid 1 rooted to a Droid X rooted. I actually purchased the phone on ebay for less than $375 which is pretty darn good in my opinion. Anyway, I was so used to the vast number of ROMS and themes on ROM manager for Droid 1 that once I came over to Droid X, it seems as though there aren't that many there. First off, that one click root is simply amazing. I am a bit skeptical because it will now make me lazy and spoiled if I decided to go for another phone that I was capable of rooting. I am currently running Rubix' Blurry 0.3 on a 2.2 (2.3.15) What themes are currently on ROM manager that is compatible with this ROM that is different? What ROMs would you guys suggest that increases performance as well as battery life on ROM manager? Thanks guys, in advance.

MakeHuman 1.1.1 (beta 1) is now available for download. The full release notes can be found at http://www.makehumancommunity.org/wiki/Releases:111, but in summary this is a bugfix release where the focus has been on fixing unicode and character conversion problems that have made MH crash on certain versions of windows.
As it stands, it is possible a few minor details might be fixed before the final release of 1.1.1. However, for all practical purposes, the beta 1 is most likely equal to what will be be released as stable soonish.
The beta can be downloaded here:
- For windows: http://download.tuxfamily.org/makehuman/nightly/makehuman-1.1.1-beta1-wi...
- For OSX: http://download.tuxfamily.org/makehuman/nightly/makehuman-1.1.1-beta1-os...
- For Linux (debian/ubuntu derivates): https://launchpad.net/~makehuman-official/+archive/ubuntu/makehuman-11x
The Linux PPA version will report as 1.1.0+[date] for the beta, but you'll see "1.1.1" in the window title when you start it.
Please help test the beta in the coming week(s) so we can be sure we stomped out all the bugs. There is a forum thread for this here.

Planning on hiring a home health aide in Long Island for taking care of your elderly when you are not around? There are various agencies that offer companion care in Long Island. Read more.

Planning on hiring a home health aide in Long Islandfor taking care of your elderly when you are not around? While
your intentions ere are entirely noble and well founded, you might still be running the risk of exposing them to many
dangers, unless you are absolutely sure that the caregiver appointed truly is reliable and well trained for the job. The
need of the hour, therefore is to be extra cautious when choosing such a professional. This blog post will help you
understand how:
There are various agencies that offer companion care in Long Island and it is your job to evaluate all possible
alternatives to arrive at the most reliable caregiver's name. What kind of criminal background checks are performed
for prospective employees? Are employee references checked? How many? Are personnel files updated annually?
These are very important questions. Too many times agencies hire employees and allow them to start work before
their background checks have come back to meet the demands of the industry. This can be disastrous.
It is for you to ensure that the agency you are considering for senior care in Long Island has employed people with
properly researched and validated criminal backgrounds, especially the caregiver who will be sent to your home to
handle your family member. You too can, on a personal level, run some online searches about the particular
individual being sent by the agency to your place as a home health aide.
Under all circumstances, make sure the above precaution is carefully followed and implemented. Take care!

In Select Theaters Beginning April 7
TRUMAN explores the intimacy and tenderness of a lifelong friendship headed towards its imminent end. Diagnosed with terminal cancer, Julián (Ricardo Darin, 2009's Academy Award®-winning "The Secret in Their Eyes") has decided to forgo treatment, and spend his final days tying up loose ends. When childhood friend Tomás (Javier Cámara, "Talk to Her") pays his ailing friend an unexpected visit, he quickly realizes he won't be able to change his mind. In what will be their final reunion, the two friends set out to finalize Julián's funeral arrangements, settle his accounts and, most importantly, find a home for his beloved dog, Truman, in this heartfelt and surprisingly humorous film.
"Wise, wistful, and well-observed." – Variety

Seasonic G Series 550 W ReviewA Look Inside & Component Analysis »
The new G-550 comes in a nice white package with a simple but charming graphic. In the top left corner, we find Seasonic's name/logo and the series description with the unit's capacity above that. The Gold efficiency badge takes the bottom right corner.
On one of the two sides is a photo of the unit while the other side has the specifications table. The top side doesn't include any noteworthy information.
On the rear side, Seasonic lists all the crucial features of the PSU in an intuitive way. The most important are its Gold efficiency, the modular cabling system, the DC-DC converters for the generation of the minor rails, the good quality caps (both electrolytic and polymer ones), and, of course, the provided five year warranty.
The PSU is well protected inside the package. Two thick pieces of packing foam surround it to make sure it reaches the buyer in top condition in spite of the transfer hardships it may endure.
The bundle includes the user's manual, a set of fixing bolts, some Velcro straps, enough zip ties, a case badge, and the necessary AC power cord. Seasonic also provides a storing pouch for the modular cables. The pouch is a very nice addition although there are only a few modular cables, all of which the user will most likely utilize.
The PSU features a nice, dark finish. At the front, the classic honeycomb-style vent is used. That useful on/off switch resides next to the AC receptacle.
We find a decal with the series description on one side and the specifications label on the other side.
On the rear, we meet the small modular panel and the cable exit-hole which, although it is pretty large for the number of native cables this unit is equipped with, features a grommet. The warranty sticker covers a screw that you must remove along with other screws in order to gain access to the internals.
The fan is equipped with a honeycomb-style grill. The lack of a badge on its center-piece doesn't look good. As you can see, the native cables, of which there are thankfully only two, are fully sleeved.

'The Office' Recap: Garden Party
S8:E4 This episode of The Office was different than the other episodes we are used to, in that it had a lot more sentimentality to it. We learned a bit more of Andy's back story and why he's always been so eager to be a great singer, scholar, salesman (you name it, really), and it was almost heartbreaking to watch someone so harshly ridicule the qualities that make him so endearing. However, what we do recognize is that a pattern of the season seems to be developing, which is that Andy is exactly the same kind of boss – and person — that Michael was. We also realized we've grown incredibly protective over our new regional manager in a remarkably short amount of time.
"If the soil starts to look acidic, you've gone too far." – Dwight
Andy decides to throw a party at Schrute farms because he wants to impress the CEO of Dunder Mifflin, Robert California, and he holds a meeting to explain to everyone the rules of the party – which are chewing thoroughly (with your mouth closed) and speaking in turn and dressing nicely. Andy even shows the office a video of the garden party his brother Walter Jr. threw for their parents, so the group could see how amazing garden parties really were. In the video, it is clear that Andy's father has an impeccable relationship with Walter Jr. from the way they had their arms around each other while they were singing, and it is also obvious Andy's relationship with his father isn't so great from the way he is excluded from the performance. Since the party was going to take place at Shrute farms, Jim thought this would be a great opportunity to mess with Dwight and so he takes a book full of instructions on how to host a medieval gathering and puts a different jacket on it so that Dwight is inclined to follow its every detail so as to ensure the garden party's success. And so Dwight obviously adheres to the book's recommendations and he spends the whole party doing things like announcing people's names as they arrived at various levels of loudness according to their degree of importance and performing intricate courting rituals/movements to music.
"I didn't know you were going to be here!" – Andy
It turns out the party isn't just for Robert California – in fact, Andy also threw it to impress his parents and proving to them that he is just as talented and successful as his brother, Walter Jr. But within moments of arriving, Andy's parents tell him they have to be leaving soon to go see Moneyball, and so Andy speeds up the party. He tries to introduce his folks to his colleagues, but his father (played by Stephen Collins) makes it very clear he isn't even the slightest bit proud that Andy is in charge of the Scranton branch. Then Andy tries to establish his authority by making a toast to thank everyone for coming, but Angela interrupts him (and announces she and her Senator husband planned on naming their son Phillip), as does Pam (who announces she and Jim were also naming their son Phillip), and Ryan (who toasts to the troops (both sides)). When it is finally Andy's turn to speak, he grabs his guitar and invites his father up to sing with him (in hopes of recreating the moment his father had with Walter Jr. at Walter Jr.'s garden party), but his father tells him his pitch is off and that it would sound better if Andy gave him the guitar and if Walter Jr. sang Andy's part. And so Walter Jr. (Josh Groban) takes the stage and Andy is booted off to the side of the tent. Eventually, Andy goes inside the farmhouse because he is so humiliated.
"I just thought if I could show you this great garden party, you'd see how respected I am and you'd approve of me." – Andy
When Andy's father goes into the farmhouse to say goodbye before going to see Moneyball, he asks why his son acted like such a fool in front of all of his subordinates. Andy explains the reason he put the party together was to show his dad that Walter Jr. wasn't the only successful Bernard child. But rather than Andy's father feeling bad for so blatantly favoring one of his sons over the other, he scolds Andy for expecting to get his father's approval for being in charge of a "rinky dink" paper company. What neither Andy nor his father realizes is they are in a room with the baby monitor Pam and Jim use to hear what Cece is doing, and so Daryl, Pam, Jim and Oscar all hear Andy's father tell him what a disappointing Bernard child he is. So after his parents left, Andy tries to take off early but Daryl makes him a cheeseburger and insists he stick around to watch Dwight and his farmhouse helpers perform the Closing Ceremonies dance.

I think we can all agree that more civility in politics would be a good thing.
But it would also be nice if the tragic shootings in Arizona prompted a discussion of the real issue at hand, not a wild goose chase about ugly politics.
Mental illness — that's the thing we ought to be talking about, plain and simple.
Jared Loughner rattled on in gibberish about words, the meaning of words, the meaninglessness of words, words, words.
The 22-year-old dropped out of community college after frightening classmates with his hostile, rambling outbursts. He was told he couldn't return without assurances from mental health professionals that he wasn't dangerous.
And we're harping at one another about civility in politics?
Sometimes I wonder about our own collective mental health. We would rather not deal with reality.
If Loughner is simply another young man with mental illness, well then, that doesn't leave us much room to scold one another over incivility or gun laws or whatever.
Or does it?
It may not be nearly as much fun, but this tragedy does offer plenty of opportunity to talk about mental illness and the shabby way our society deals with it.
For the record, Dr. James Baker said neither political civility nor talk radio nor Sarah Palin came to his mind when he heard news about the shooter.
"I said to myself, 'I'll bet it turns out that he has mental health problems.' "
Baker, a psychiatrist, heads Metrocare, the nonprofit agency charged with providing mental health services in Dallas County.
I asked him if he doesn't live with constant fear that one of his agency's patients will commit a similar act of mayhem.
"I really don't," he said. "The likelihood of violence from people with mental illness is really low."
Sober ones, that is. The mixture of mental illness with drug or alcohol abuse can lead to violent behavior, he said.
The worry he lives with, he said, is whether a sufficient system is in place to take care of those with mental illnesses — especially those with no other place to turn.
That worry is compounded by the headlines in recent days about a state budget shortfall anywhere between $15 billion and $27 billion.
"There is all sorts of talk about reducing state hospital beds and cutting back on community-based services. We're definitely worried about serving people in the way they need to be served," Baker said.
Keep in mind that Texas is already 49th among the 50 states in per-capita spending on mental health services. Only New Mexico spends less.
At $34 a person, Texas spends just a third of the U.S. average of $103.
And you wonder why so many mentally ill people stand on street corners, fill homeless shelters and overflow our jails.
We don't know the full story about Jared Loughner. His parents are said to be anguished about what transpired.
It's possible they tried without success to get him mental health treatment. As an adult, he would have been free to refuse it.
"Ours is a society that has elected to err on the side of guarding people's freedom and their rights. So sometimes there is little that you can do except encourage someone to get help," Baker said.
But he said families and schools and workplaces can definitely do a better job of dealing forthrightly with mental illness issues.
What is often written off as "bad behavior" is actually a treatable mental illness, Baker said.
It's time for all of us to face the issue forthrightly. And with civility, of course.

A former boy genius (George Clooney) and a gifted teenager (Britt Robertson) set out on a dangerous mission to unearth the secrets of "Tomorrowland," an enigmatic location caught between time and space. Released May 2015
A futuristic movie that's filled with adventure. This movie is visually stunning and tells the adventure embarked upon by Casey and Frank. The storyline of a saving the world where dreamers are free to create inventions. It features plenty of issues we are facing today with the environment, technology and how we see ourselves.This movie is a reminder that's life is precious and decisions we make effect everyone for better or worse. The movies leaves you with an awareness of life while questioning how we see the future.

In typical Disney style it does deliver an important message though. We are in control of our own destiny.

Equine Biomechanics for Riders : The Key to Balanced Riding Paperback
by Karin Blignault
By understanding how the horse's biomechanics works and how to influence it, most of the misunderstanding between horse and rider is avoidable, and the vast majority of schooling problems solvable.
Although in its infancy, equine sport science teaches us how a horse's body and mind functions.
Through an understanding of this natural science, together with literature left to us by the classical masters, training horses, without the dependence on gadgets, becomes extremely easy and logical.
The knowledge of equine biomechanics turns horse training and riding teaching into a completely logical process.In this work, Karin Blignault investigates the horse's natural methods of performing movements and compares this with the movements he performs in dressage and jumping.
Examining each individual gait and movement - including lateral work, piaffe, passage, flying changes - the author highlights the biomechanical difficulties the horse encounters in his effort to please the rider, gives suggestions to riders and trainers on how to overcome these difficulties, and further gives judges pointers on how to recognize these problems.

Calgary, Canada (PressExposure) September 03, 2009 -- The former owner-operator who drove her own semi was looking to find a business opportunity when she could no longer drive and manage her trucking business. "It was easy as soon as I organized my thoughts and goals," Hauge said, "When you put it on paper, it is extremely simple to follow. It is important to define exactly what you want when you create your home based business and what you want from your business," Hauge went on to say. "Decide what kind of business suits you. Find the home based business that is right for you. Brainstorm and research, one of the questions you may want to consider is: Do you want to create your home based business on the internet or a physical business from your home? Once you decide you can start to look at the wide variety of opportunities offered. Where you look for your opportunity will depend of which business platform you choose.
Find the ones you are interested in start narrowing your search. Study each one; find the ones that appeal to you and your needs. Narrow your search further by sorting them into two categories. One category you can call: I like this and the second: I like this and I can do this. Now research the second category of your work at home business.
Take steps to make sure it is right for you. Take the time to research all of your choices. Take each home based business opportunity you have chosen and jot down any questions you may have about the business. Get your questions answered." Hauge continued, "Take time to create your home based business and make sure your new business is a good match for what your goals are. You will be happier in your choice and more easily overcome obstacles."

- Professor (Alice) Longbottom's speech to the DA.
Professor Longbottom: Let us get a few things perfectly clear, ladies and gentlemen! Standing up to your opponent and shouting a challenge sounds very good in stories! Engaging in a duel, wand to wand and face to face, makes for excellent photographs! But you will not be fighting in stories or photographs, ladies and gentlemen! You will be fighting in a war, against wizards who do not care that you are young and who do not care about fair play! They care only that you are fighting back, and they will hurt you and kill you if they get the chance! Therefore, your primary job is to not give them that chance!
- She follows this up with three very simple rules of battle:
1. Keep your friends alive.2. Get your objective.3. Don't die.
- She follows this up with three very simple rules of battle:
- Hermione and Draco manage to steal Hufflepuff's Cup from the Lestrange Gringotts vault without getting caught.
- Amanda standing up to Voldemort
- Draco hid as Lucius Malfoy for a "four months, three weeks, two days, eighteen hours, and thirty-seven minutes" and did not get caught. And with most time spent in front of Voldemort, too!
- On the other hand, he never suspected Snape either...
- During the final battle, as Harry starts the process of a Heroic Sacrifice to defeat Voldemort, the spirit of his future daughter with Ginny notices that Ginny is sad about the tie between her and Harry being pulled away. She doesn't want Ginny sad so she latches onto said tie and yanks Harry back into life. Also qualifies as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
- Remus manages to fully destroy the curse of the werewolf running on his own strength of will, and does the same for every werewolf that did the same as him, in the first full moon after Nadia's birth.

From NetComics:
Mazda Hun is a soldier caught in a web of political and military struggles beyond his comprehension. Captured by the government, they sentence him to Lethe. Society doesn't believe in the death penalty anymore. They've modernized the paradigm of punishment.
Lethe has many names: mercy, treatment, repair, reformation and rehabilitation. Some even call it justice. The Lethe procedure inflicts no pain and is over quickly, but its victims consider it a fate worse than death.
Lethe is the execution of a person's soul. They make room for a new personality that will remember nothing of the old. Those who undergo the process don't seem quite human ever again. And Mazda Hun's time is running out fast.

Where do I start? The customer service department is a huge let down. It takes forever to get a response and your questions are never answered.
Today all my websites went down again. In the past when I have had the same problem, 1and1.co.uk customer services deny there is anything wrong.
They even have the cheek to constantly bombard me with sales emails, written in very poor English.
Don't ever use 1and1.co.uk!

Xavier's Weakness Becomes ApparentPosted by Justin Kundrat on March 1st, 2016
Media pundits are always quick to jump on bandwagons and it happened again on Wednesday night. The chatter around Xavier's perceived ceiling has been around all season, but it picked up considerably following the team's win over #1 Villanova. Those claiming Xavier has Final Four potential aren't wrong by any means; Chris Mack's team is deep, athletic and extremely tough on the boards — a combination that usually makes for a tough out. Moreover, a 7-2 record against the RPI top 50 has erased any doubts about its ability to compete against Tournament-level teams. Below the surface, however, lurk some unpleasant memories, remnants of what are unquestionably ugly losses. A 31-point blowout at Villanova, a pair of brutally inefficient losses to Georgetown and Creighton, and most recently, a clunker at Seton Hall. The losses themselves aren't the least bit concerning — Xavier's four total losses is the second fewest of any team in the country — it's the way they've lost.
The Musketeers have a number of options — Trevon Bluiett, Myles Davis and JP Macura prime among them — when it comes to perimeter scoring, but these players aren't relied upon for lights-out shooting as much as they are pure spacing. With a lightning-quick point guard in Edmond Sumner, Xavier can usually penetrate to get high quality looks around the rim because teams are forced to respect the array of shooters around Sumner. It doesn't necessarily matter who is making shots, so long as they connect on a high enough percentage to keep defenses honest. The Xavier wings are also adept at making entry passes to the low post, a place where the Musketeers are converting at a high rate, as the presence of numerous shooters and slashers helps stop opponents from doubling on the interior. Xavier post options Jalen Reynolds and James Farr also both rank in the top 100 in offensive rebounding, helping the X-men corral 35.7 percent of its missed shots. Partially as a result of the attack of the offensive glass, Xavier attempts 40.3 percent of its shots at the rim and gets to the free throw line at an exceedingly high rate (29th nationally).

Categories: Civil Department of Justice DOJ Press Releases Family News
Attorney General Matt Denn announced that Deputy Attorney General Aaron Goldstein has been tapped as State Solicitor in charge of the Civil Division of the Department of Justice, and Deputy Attorney General LaKresha Roberts will become director of DOJ's Family Division.
A graduate of the University of Delaware and Widener University School of Law, Goldstein has been with the Department of Justice since 2004, including serving as assistant head of the Government Services Unit, and most recently, head of the Department's Health Law Unit. Prior to working at the Department of Justice, he worked in a private law firm, in the New Castle County Office of Law, the City of Wilmington Law Department and as an Assistant Public Defender. He was chosen as a Henry Toll Fellow by the Council of State Governments in 2011.
Roberts graduated from Pace University and the Widener University School of Law, and joined the Department of Justice in 2010, where she has worked in the Child Support, Child Protection, Juvenile Delinquency, and most recently, the Domestic Violence Unit. She previously worked for Family Court as a law clerk and as a mediation and arbitration officer. She was selected by the Delaware Business Times as one of their "40 Under 40" for 2015.
"It gives me great pleasure to make these two additions to our leadership team within the department," said Attorney General Denn. "Aaron has served in a number of capacities in the Civil Division as well as in other government settings providing him experience that is well suited for the State Solicitor role. LaKresha's career has been based on her passion and compassion for serving Delaware's children and families and I have been impressed with her judgment. They will both do well in their respective roles."
Goldstein has already taken the position of State Solicitor, replacing Meredith Tweedie, who moved to Governor Markell's office. Roberts will replace Family Division director Patricia Dailey Lewis, who is retiring at the end of November after 30 years with the Department of Justice.
"We have had a number of opportunities within the department to honor Patty Dailey Lewis over the last few weeks, including presenting her with a new department award named in honor of Beau Biden," Attorney General Denn said. "Families and children in Delaware – both in a general sense and in hundreds of specific individual cases – are better off because of Patty's career and accomplishments, and we will miss her."Related Topics: Aaron Goldstein • Attorney General Matt Denn • Civil Division • Department of Justice • Family Division • LaKresha Roberts • State Solicitor

Make Yourself at Home
Even after over 20 years of waking up to a breathtaking view I have never quite gotten used to it. I still sit and have a cup of tea watching the ever changing ocean with all her moods. We have been delighted for 8 years to share this view with guests from all over the world.
We consider ourselves good hosts but on a recent trip to Royston Carriage House B&B we were amazed that Ross and Nancy had carried the phrase, "make yourself at home" one step beyond our imagination. Ross, who is an avid photographer, had put on the wall a print of our view at Bostrom's B&B. Talk about "home away from home"! when we woke up we still looked to the view that we have come to love.
Thanks Ross and Nancy! If you want to see more of Ross' photos check out his blog.
On foggy days where the fog plays peek-a-boo with the islands,
to days end when the colours change in surreal ways,
on sunny days or in a storm,
on high tide or low, the view constantly changes.
Enjoy the view from every room, the hot tub, the sauna, and each of the three levels of decks.

Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki
Agent Review:
Abby Lapointe
"The Hawaii Prince Hotel is just outside the main drag of Waikiki. Great for those who are attending events at the Hawaii Convention Center or for those who want to be near Ala Moana. The property is not on the beach but on the harbor".
This Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki is 33-story oceanfront hotel conveniently located less than five minutes from the Hawaii Convention Center. Guests staying at the hotel for business purposes will enjoy the spectacular ocean views, proximity to the beach, and the vast array of amenities this relaxing and luxurious hotel has to offer. All of the spacious guest rooms and suites are outfitted with floor to ceiling windows and a guaranteed view of the Pacific Ocean. All resort guests will feel right at home with a mini refrigerator, coffee maker, luxury bathrobes, and indoor slippers.
While the top 28 floors of the hotel are guest accommodations, the bottom five floors contain a large, open-air lounge as well as shops, restaurants, banquet facilities, and guest parking. Aside from offering 13,000 square feet of indoor function space, onsite resort amenities include authentic Hawaiian and Japanese restaurants, fully-staffed business center, modern fitness facility, day spa, and beauty salon.
The Hawaiian Convention Center is just across the street, and many well known shopping destinations are within walking distance of the hotel. Avid golfers can hop aboard the complimentary shuttle to the Hawaii Prince Golf Club and take advantage of the hotel's signature golf packages at courses designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay.
Located on Ala Moana Boulevard, many areas of Waikiki and downtown Honolulu are easily accessible via cab or public transportation, and rental cars are available at several nearby locations.

It's a simple truth that a government should not intentionally make life harder for its people. The bad habit of governing by crisis management and the failure to get our fiscal house in order have made life difficult for Americans.
In Nebraska and in so many other states across this nation, we actually work together -- and not just on small bills, but also on the big issues. While I served in the Nebraska Legislature, we dealt with a major budget shortfall. We didn't go on TV and Twitter and fight -- we legislated. We fixed the problem.
That's the Nebraska way -- we roll up our sleeves, cut through the talking points, and get to work. Nebraskans are pragmatic and they are well informed. So when Nebraskans look at the dysfunction in Washington, they're frustrated -- and I am too.
A furloughed federal worker from Omaha called my office to say, "We're all tired," he said. "We're tired of not getting a budget to the last minute. We're all tired. You guys need to do your job."
I agree. That's why I am talking with my colleagues -- not publicly in front of cameras -- but privately to see if we can forge a way forward. But I believe we have to do more than just open the up the government -- that's just the basics. We also have to address our $17 trillion debt -- it's smothering our country, it's jeopardizing our national security, and it's a threat to our children's future.
Congress will soon vote on increasing the debt ceiling -- the sixth debt limit increase in the past five years. Our national debt has almost doubled since 2006 and our debt limit has grown twice as much as our economy in the past two years.
Shouldn't the opposite be true?
Meanwhile, our economy's recovery continues sluggishly along at a rate of 1 to 2-percent. This is unacceptable. But instead of growing our economy by reducing spending, cutting regulations, and overhauling the outdated tax code, Congress has continued spending money we just don't have.
I didn't run for office to shut down government. I ran for office to help hardworking Americans get back to work. Nebraskans want to know that they can provide for their families. I don't think that's asking too much.
Make no mistake: high public debt depresses economic growth, which in turn dampens job creation.
Ironically, our country's debt crisis comes as the Congressional Budget Office is predicting that tax revenues will be at an all-time high -- $2.7 trillion. The problem isn't that we have too little revenue. The problem is that we are spending too much.
Several of my colleagues have offered a number of commonsense proposals that have broad support. These ideas include repeal of the medical device tax, which was adopted by the Senate as an amendment to its budget resolution by an overwhelming vote of 79-20 in March. Another proposed measure requires verification of eligibility to participate in health insurance exchanges.
Other ideas include a commitment to reducing spending -- as required by the law -- but we would increase flexibility for federal agencies to make smarter cuts. It's a matter of setting priorities so we can make wise decisions. That's the Nebraska way, and that's what we need to do in Washington as well.
Even the president has put forth ideas to cut spending by $400 billion over the next ten years. These offers could set the framework for a real discussion. I am willing to work with any of my colleagues to find a reasonable solution.
Let me close with some good news. We recently received word that Jack Hoffman's cancer is in remission. While there is still a long road ahead for the Hoffmans, we Nebraskans who know and admire this family are thrilled with the good news. For so many of us, Jack's remission is an answer to prayers -- and I for one am very grateful.
Thank you for participating in the democratic process, and I'll visit with you again next week.

SAN ANTONIO, TX--(Marketwired - Feb 14, 2017) - EnerJex Resources, Inc. (
Under the terms of that definitive written agreement, and subject to approval by EnerJex's shareholders, the Company would convey to the purchasing investors all of EnerJex's oil and gas properties located in Colorado, Texas, and Nebraska, and would pay to the purchasing investors the sum of $3.30 million. In exchange, those purchasing investors would forgive the Company's approximately $17.925 million of secured indebtedness and EnerJex would retain title to its Kansas-based assets, which generate the majority of the Company's revenue and cash flow from operations.
EnerJex also announced today that Louis G. Schott has been appointed interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company. This appointment follows the resignation of Robert G. Watson Jr. as Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, in order to pursue other business opportunties.
Mr. Schott has served in the oil and gas industry for 20 years and has extensive legal and business experience, with a focus on mergers and acquisitions, public company regulations and requirements, title, energy finance, business development, general negotiations and land. Most recently, he served as General Counsel and Treasurer of TexOak Petro Holdings LLC, where he performed all legal functions, including negotiating oil and gas acquisitions. Mr. Schott previously served in various roles with TDC Energy for a period of 10 years and was an oil and gas attorney with Liskow & Lewis in New Orleans, LA. He is a non-practicing Certified Public Accountant and earned Master of Business Administration and Juris Doctor degrees from Tulane University.
Further, the Company announced today that it will hold an Annual Meeting of shareholders on March 30, 2017 (the "Annual Meeting"). Additional details regarding the Annual Meeting will be provided in the definitive proxy statement that will be distributed to shareholders after the Company completes its review process with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
At the Annual Meeting, at which the Company will seek shareholder approval of the transaction described above, the Board of Directors intends to seek approval of holders of EnerJex's Series A Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") to convert into Common Stock at a conversion ratio of approximately 1-to-5, or 5 shares of Common Stock for each converted share of Series A Preferred Stock. Based upon the average closing price of the Preferred Stock and Common Stock over the past 30 and 60 trading days, this conversion ratio represents a premium for the Preferred Stock holders of 25% and 30%, respectively.
In addition, the Company's Board is developing alternative plans for generating, from debt or equity financing, the funds needed to pay the $3.30 million amount due to the investor group that purchased EnerJex's secured indebtedness, and to provide working capital for the Company.
Finally, EnerJex announced today the resignation from employment by Douglas M. Wright. Mr. Wright will continue to serve as the Company's Chief Financial Officer pursuant to a consulting agreement dated effective February 10, 2017. Mr. Wright will focus his services on completion of EnerJex's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the preparation of materials for the Company's Annual Meeting. There were no disagreements between Mr. Wright and the Company.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and the materials referenced herein include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements give EnerJex's current expectations or forecasts of future events.
