Robert D. Maxwell
Robert Dale Maxwell (born October 26, 1920) is a former United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions in World War II. Born on October 26, 1920, in Boise, Idaho, Maxwell joined the Army from Larimer County, Colorado. He served overseas as a technician fifth grade with the 7th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division. Assigned as the battalion "wire man", he carried a heavy roll of cable and was tasked with stringing phone lines to the command post. He began the war armed with a M1 Garand rifle, but was later reclassified as a non-combatant and carried only a .45 caliber pistol. With the 7th Infantry, Maxwell took part in the North African Campaign followed by the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943, marching to Palermo and on to Messina. The unit then landed at Salerno shortly after the Allied invasion of mainland Italy and fought northwards to an area near Cassino. Wounded during the early stages of the subsequent Battle of Anzio in January 1944, Maxwell spent the next few months recovering at a hospital in Naples. He rejoined his unit in time for the invasion of southern France (Operation  ( Wikipedia article )

When Andrew and his disturbed girlfriend, Lila, travel to a secluded estate for a weekend getaway, they fall into the clutches of a predatory murderer who stalks the dark forest near the house. On Halloween night, the town of Hobb's Ferry finds itself at the mercy of the Intruder, a bloodthirsty clown, whose depraved tricks push Lila to the brink of madness.
It amazes me at how influential, till this day, that John Carpenter's "Halloween" is still such an inspiration to so many people. I am also amazed at how often till this day that the film has continued to be mimicked by anyone and everyone who want to make a low budget horror film bought a masked killer on the loose. When there is no real twist to keep things fresh or a bright spot like a performance by an actor, these films begin to be hard to watch. Gregory Caiafa's "Intruder" tries so hard to be a cut above the standard slasher fare but it never really rises above what it is, a very mildly entertaining entry into the genre.
Lila (Christena Doggrell)Â is a troubled young girl who suffers from schizophrenia, she tries to live her days as normal as possible but it turns out to be harder than she could imagine. Her boyfriend Andrew (Jack Reiling) decides to take her for a weekend getaway at a summer home. Just when things begin looking up, death shows its ugly head and the people around them begin to drop like flies.
Is it in Lila's head or is she responsible, or is the mysterious killer in the clown mask real and can she escape his clutches. There was plenty of potential in the story, I found myself really interested in the schizophrenic aspect of the Lila character and Doggrell did a fine job bringing her to life. So much time was spent on her character that everyone around her was just there to be sliced and diced for our entertainment. What was really frustrating was how much time was spent on her disorder with nothing happening and ended with no real payoff.
Maybe I failed to see it since halfway through the film my interest in it shrank to almost nothing. Once the killing started, I was hoping for some nice inventive kills but I was let down there as well. They offered nothing and the good stuff mostly happened offscreen. What did work for those scenes was the sound design and music. They used just the right amount of an ambient score that had a hint of early 80's horror that helped but still wasn't enough.
The weight of the film was carried by its lead actress Christena Doggrell and she does a fine job here. It took me a little while to warm to her but she does eventually feel genuine and you do begin to cheer for her. The "Intruder" to me, looked look another certain masked killer who dresses in blue, mostly silent, and wears a mask. In this case, the mask is one of the most ridiculous and non-threatening clown masks I have ever seen. And I don't like clowns, they scare me, this one didn't. The film clocked in at around 80min but felt much longer and that is a warning sign. I prefer shorter horror films and I found myself fighting off sleep through most of it.
I won't call this film a turd, it was a noble effort. People need time to refine their craft and Mr. Caiafa needs a little more time and he
may have a great film up his sleeve. The script just didn't work for me but it is obviously an intelligence running through it and when that intelligence finds the right story then we will have something to look forward to. There are many people out there who genuinely love to watch low-budget indie horror and you could do a whole lot worse. If you're looking for something to keep you on the edge of your seat and excited you might want to skip this one. If you're interested in seeing the potential of a young filmmaker in its' beginning stages this is worth a watch but watch it during the day when you're wide awake. I would hate for you to be put to sleep.

The Good Wife Season 4 Finale Review: Personal Sabotageby Carla Day at . Comments
Oh, Alicia! She's a mess, isn't she?
The last few weeks have been rough on this good wife. She's struggled with her feelings for Will and questioned whether Lockhart/Gardner is the firm for her.
In "What's in the Box?," Alicia made a decision, but not the one she probably should have made first. It's a good thing that The Good Wife has already been renewed for season 5, considering that cliffhanger.
I fell without question for the finale door open twist. I assumed that Alicia called Will and that they would finally have their talk. I should have known better since The Good Wife is always pulling tricks like that, but the wine, the music and the self-doubt was more in line with making a romantic versus career decision. I was taken by my overwhelming desire for Alicia and Will to finally discuss their feelings.
Their moment in the car was the closest to honest they have gotten since the kiss. They clearly both still have strong feelings for each other. Alicia's plea that she was with Peter rang hollow and even she recognized that. Instead of finishing their discussion, they allowed the case and work to get in the way yet again. Frustrating! And that was the out that Alicia needed to avoid confronting her heart.
Instead of dealing with her relationship woes, Alicia made a reckless career decision by telling Cary she would join his new firm. If she made her choice strictly from a professional standpoint then perhaps it was the best option for her, but she didn't. Alicia sabotaged the possibility of being with Will instead. He's not going to be happy to find out she was aware of the rebellion and even more upset that she's leaving. Though, it would be a pleasant twist for him to see through her actions and call her on them instead of getting angry.
Alicia may have told Cary, "I'm in," but there is still plenty of time for her to change her mind or have it changed for her. She's definitely not been on the same page as the other partners regarding decisions at the firm, but again that's not why she settled on leaving. Now that she will be the First Lady of Illinois, she will also have to figure out how she can continue to be an active lawyer while her husband is the Governor.
While Alicia's life decisions were the most interesting aspect of The Good Wife season 4 finale, the election case had its moments too. In the season premiere, "I Fought the Law," Zach was arrested for taking video of a police officer and in the finale he got in trouble with his phone again. His desire for justice is admirable. In this situation, it led to a electoral mess.
Diane's words, "Sad to think you can lose an election in court these days," were poignant. And, in the end, it didn't matter. The campaign thought the election was going to be decided by a 1,000 vote margin, but Peter ended up winning by over half a million votes.
When Kalinda found the evidence that it was actually the Democrats who faked votes for Peter, that raised the stakes in quite a few ways. Will could have used the information to destroy Peter and Alicia's relationship, but he didn't. Instead, he went directly to Peter and the candidate punted the it right back in Will's face. In the big picture, those votes didn't matter and didn't decide the election, but it proved that Peter really hasn't changed all that much.
What will Will do with that information? He could use it to try and keep Alicia at the firm, but that would backfire on him personally. Or he could use it to further his personal pursuit of Alicia. Or he could do nothing with it. It will all come down to how he takes Alicia's betrayal of the firm.
Even though Kalinda said that she had the only copy of the evidence, it's always possible that it will come out. Or that other vote rigging actions will be revealed. Peter may have won the Governorship, but will he actually get sworn in? And what happens once he's there? He wouldn't be the first, second or third Illinois Governor to go to prison; sadly he'd be the fifth!
There are so many directions that the show could go in season five. It's going to be a long wait for the fall, but well worth it.
Odds and Ends
- This show has made excellent use of its guest stars in their recurring roles this season. It was great to see Judge Abernathy, Patty Nyholm, Colin Sweeney, Judge "In My Opinion" Lessner, and even Jordan again.
- What was the point of the Jackie and Christian bit? Peter tried to buy him off, he said no, and Jackie rebelled against her son. Perhaps, it will lead to something next season, but I hope not.
- Kalinda has become unlikable with her indecision about where to work. Her unrelenting desire for more money is unappealing. It's depressing to see her without any sense of loyalty to anyone. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Lockhart/Gardner dumped her and she struggled to find a new job.
- Nana Joe was awesome.
- Eli loves horror movies? Never would have guessed that one!

I hope Season 5 and succeeding seasons would deal more with family, legal and political drama and end, once and for all, the Alica-Peter-Will soap opera. I'd prefer to see more of Peter asserting his legal and political prowess as he balances critical issues that concern his family and displays his leadership qualities as he takes the reins of Illinois as the new governor. By dumping the soap opera angle of the series, I believe the series would become more engaging if it dealt more about how the legal profession and politics can be positive forces in dealing with social and political concerns that affect day-to-day experiences of people in the communities. But, I would definitely love to see the first few episodes of Season 5 showing Peter finally acting on exposing Will, the user and backstabber, and running him down to the ground. That would be very good entertainment.
When is Season 5 coming???? I love this TV show...you left your fans hanging...want to see what happens in the new firm..with Will and her marriage. Come onm this show just can't end with out no closure. It's a great show it should for 10 years not just 4....
Alicia, is sure in a mess. The writers of this show are repeating similar scenario again in the season finale. After 4 seasons, Alicia seemed to be at the same place. Apart from being made to partner, other things surrounding her life seemed the same. Peter winning another campaign, Alicia is still confused with respect to her love life, although her heart seemed to be with Will, and the writers want us to believe Alicia is leaving the firm to join Cary. Just as previous season when the writers wanted us to believe that Alicia was leaving the firm to join Louis Canning. Alicia needs to move on. Choose Peter or Will. Although I am a fan of Will and Alicia, I am tired of watching Alicia going back and forth in her love life. I hope Alicia will just move forward. Let us watch the new developments surrounding Alicia's life.
I think Kalinda deserves a raise. She has done a lot of great work for the firm. The new investigator is still too green and a bit flakey. You have to demand a raise, you can't just wait for it to be given to you. It will be interesting to see what she does in the future.
Will: "After this, let's talk.
Alicia: "We can't."
Will: "Bad timing or not, we have to talk...(before you learn your mother pushed me to do it)!!! What a dope! Ha! Ha! Ha!
AMEN Diego !!!!!!!
@AliciaR -- So, I suppose you trust Will's character over Peter's? Can you trust someone who is forever afraid to make a commitment, especially a life time commitment? Would you trust someone knows the law and claims he loves Alicia, but only lures her into an illicit affair to satisfy his carnal appetites without making their relationship more legal and binding by actually coming out and asking her to divorce Peter and marry him? Can you trust a man who cannot even outwardly proclaim he loves someone and needs to have the woman's mother to spell it out for him? This kind of a person is called a wimp -- the shady kind which is worse. I take this Will character as a spineless, but opportunistic, self-centered and underhanded scoundrel who would take advantage of the weakness of others to advance his own agenda.
@ AlicaR -- You are right. Peter is willing to go to the edge if it means protecting and benefitting Alicia and the kids, and even if it means an end to his career. Wouldn't you do that for those you value the most. He is willing to risk all for Alicia and his family. Again in politics and the practice of law -- there are so many gray areas that it would take a brilliant lawyer to know what buttons to push and where the ethical boundaries are so that he doesn't fall over the edge. That is what Peter is -- brilliant. If you are not that strong and brilliant individual, rivals and political opponents will eat you up. And yet, he would risk even his political career if it meant Alicia and the kids are safe and happy. Several instances have come up in episodes leading to the finale that suggest this about Peter. Wouldn't you want and trust someone who would back you up all the way like Peter?
@Diego. I don't trust Peter. He's shown himself willing to go to the edge, in terms of ethics, a number of times since the show began. He's tried to use his position to throw his weight around at the schools that his children attend. I can't remember the episode. I suspect he might know about the stuffed ballot box in the election, but we won't find that out until next season. He claims to be in love with Alicia again, but I suspect he only wants her now because he isn't sure of her. Alicia's mom also doesn't trust Peter, and just because Alicia's mom is a bit out there doesn't mean she isn't right about Peter. I love the character of Eli Gold, but he could be wrong about Peter, too. The character of Peter strikes me as terminally arrogant.
Nobody has really delved into how much Peter loves Alicia. Almost everyone seems to have the notion that every married man who has had an affair would forever be unfaithful to his wife. We know that in real life many "fallen men� have turned their lives around to become more faithful and loving to their wives. This seems to be the thread the writers have followed about Peter in the episodes leading to the season finale. All this time, he has been highly solicitous, caring and protective of Alicia and his kids. Although aware of his wife's affair with Will, he has patiently held back and avoided resorting to retaliatory measures that would publicly shame his wife. If he didn't love Alicia and his kids so much he would have divorced her instantly and replaced her with someone else as most politicians/celebrities do these days.

I might be interested in this myself. I don't want to spend $400 on a console I probably will never use (like my PS3). However $100 is much more appealing.
Just to clarify, can this thing play games I bought on my PS3? I have mostly old PS1 and indie games. (Sorry if this was answered earlier)
If Gaikai was better implemented, then yes, but it's not.
I think it only plays PSOne, Vita games that don't use touch, and Vita indie games by default off of a PS Vita memory card.
If they plan on allowing Gaikai, too, is why I was saying I should be able to buy this and play PS4 games without actually having a PS4.

it looks like a group of desklets
you can use gdesklet if you're using gnome, superkaramba if you're using kde, or adesklets for any of them (gnome, kde, anything else) to get desklets that work similarly to that
the programs i just named off don't work on their own though, you get add-ons (desklets) for them so that you can use them. the one on that screen looks like it's maybe 4 desklets right near each other (divided by the black horizontal lines).

If you use KDE, install superkaramba... very nice...
You use GNOME, install gdesklets... very nice...
However they are very CPU hungry, especially on moderate machine... but if you like them, you can try! Personally I get more information with gkrellm, because these program are mainly eye candy.
Go to superkaramba site and download the applet for wiew the wheter... incredible!When using Windows, have you ever told "Ehi... do your business?"

I like the terminal in taht pic....totally transparent

I'm almost certain that it's superkaramba (or possibly just karamba). You can get themes for it at www.kde-look.org. As for the transparent terminal, in aterm you can run it with the -tr option to have it transparent. For eterm, it's -O (that's a capital 'o', not a zero). Things like superkaramba are great for showing your windows-using friends how nice linux can lookStumbling around the 'net:

Wow, what a nice shot! These rox file manager windows look awesome and yeah, those desklets are most likely superkaramba themes (widgets).
I just wonder what WM is that. It doesn't look exactly like neither GNOME nor Xfce..

Want a referral for a mini-facelift
My cat thinks I'm beautiful and my Dr. says I don't need a facelife; but I used to like to look in the mirror and when I get a glimpse at myself, I see a person that I don't recognize. I'd like to be happy about looking in the mirror again.
I don't mind lines that much, but I do mind the subtle changes that gravity brings about. I would hope that an experienced plastic surgeon would listen to me carefully and know exactly what I would need to achieve the results I'm looking for. I'm not looking for aggressive surgery. But I notice that I'm beginning to get jowls and although I do not yet have a "turkey neck" I feel that having work on the bottom part of face would make a big difference in my aging process.
I had one thing done so far. I hated my frown lines and decided to have some filler Restylane (about 2cc) put in the area and the remaining filler in the lines between my nose and edge of mouth. There was a subtle but definite improvement, however this only lasted about 6 months. I want something to be a little more permanent.
From what I know about plastic surgery, I think I would need a mini face lift that concentrated on my jowl, neck and smoothing out the lines around my mouth and those around my cheek. I want to look like me, only 10 years younger. I've been told I look 1- years younger than I am (60) but it would be nice to like my face again. It's for me and nobody else.
I want a referral from someone who is very happy with the results of their surgery and if possible to meet the person if they live in the Bay Area. I don't want to take any chances with my face. It doesn't have to be in the Bay Area, if someone knows of someone who has better expertise. For now, I'll leave it at that. I don't want to put this off any longer.
Thank you.
Take a look at Dr. Joseph Cruise in Newport Beach Ca. He is Board Certified, very affordable, excellent staff, honest and extremely skilled surgeon. Let the reviews speak for themselves. Google his name + reviews...You will see 100% satisfaction and most said he exceeded expectations. I just had a lower facelift 10 days ago, so this is why I know so much about him. I couldn't be happier or blessed. Everyone he works on keep coming back for other beatifications. He can do online consults so don't worry about traveling at the moment. Good luck! :D

Hi everyone.
I met a new guy. About 3 weeks ago, I think. We've been talking non-stop and we get along great so far. We ended up realizing there's some mutual attraction and he asked me out. I'll be seeing him this weekend. The thing is I told him I'm not looking for anything too serious, more like casual dating or something. He said he was ok with that. People tell me I've been "using" him just because I don't intend to stick with him in the long run. I'm not using him. I think hurting people on purpose is wrong. I've been very straightforward with him all along. Sigh. I simply don't want to fall in love again. It's too much for me. I think I like him too much as well. I know I'm gonna lose him anyway and I accept it, but it hurts alredy and it's not even happening yet.

It's no secret that eating breakfast is super important for our health and having enough energy to make it through our day–without it, we lack stamina, focus and tend to binge later on in the afternoon or at night. But the inconvenient truth is that breakfast can be, well, inconvenient. For those of us who are awake before the roosters, breakfast can feel like that annoying thing that takes away from our precious sleep time; making eggs, oatmeal or even a bowl of cereal can be time consuming, especially when we'd all rather be sleeping.
Enter: smoothies!
The merits of smoothies are long and storied; they allow us to intake a great deal of nutrients in an efficient manner. The ability to get up to five servings of fruits and vegetables in addition to healthy fats, water and protein make smoothies a breakfast dynamo. And to take the convenience even further, you can make one of the following smoothies, pour the mixture into ice cube trays, freeze and pop them out; you then have made something that is already convenient… even more convenient! And when you awake bleary eyed, all you need to do is pop a few cubes in a blender with water, milk or juice and BOOM breakfast is served. It's genius, really!
So here are three deliciously complete breakfast smoothies, to get you back in the breakfast habit!
Strawberry Coconut Smoothie
1 cup frozen strawberries
½ avocado
2 tbsp coconut milk
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp chia seeds
¾ cup cold water
Mango Tahini Smoothie
1 cup frozen mango
1 tbsp tahini
1 tsp hemp seed
1 tbsp lime juice
½ cup water
Blueberry Mint Smoothie
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 banana
¼ cup orange juice
½ cup fresh mint leaves
½ cup hemp seed milk
Now you have no excuse not to eat breakfast. Good Morning, indeed!

Here is the interesting part of a terrified editorial from the Washington Post, the house organ of the Fed and the DC power elite, on Ron's Audit the Fed amendment:
Whatever good [the financial regulation bill] might do would be canceled out by the inclusion of Texas Republican Ron Paul's proposal to subject the Federal Reserve's monetary policymaking to regular audits by the Government Accountability Office, an arm of Congress.
Supporters suggest that the measure would merely provide "transparency" for a secretive, powerful institution. But for all its wide, bipartisan backing, this is anything but a prudent or centrist law. In fact, it is an attack — born of crisis and the attendant emotions — on the political independence the central bank must have to do its job.
The case for political independence at the Fed is elementary. Elected officials, such as members of Congress, are inherently loath to tighten the supply of money available to their constituents, even when that might be necessary to fight inflation. U.S. experience, and that of countries around the world, confirms this, which is why Congress exempted the Fed's money-supply decisions from GAO scrutiny in a 1978 law. Mr. Paul's proposal would effectively repeal that. Investors already spend enough energy and money trying to figure out where interest rates are heading without this additional dose of permanent uncertainty. Trust in the Fed, and, by extension, the dollar, will evaporate if markets believe that the Fed is courting the approval of Congress's auditors.
Mr. Paul doesn't care; he's an "end the Fed" man. In the past, other members of Congress have basically just humored him. It's a sign of the times — and not a good one — that they have been Fed-bashed into following him now.
Of course, the link to Ron's great book is mine. BTW, a good rule of DC thumb is to be for whatever WaPo is against. It's sort of all you need to know. And thanks to Travis Holte.10:56 am on December 19, 2009 Email Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

MLB Power Rankings News
It's been 10 days given that our MLB power positions have been updated, as we chose to stand by until after the MLB profession due date to put out the current edition. Obviously, plenty has transformed ever since.
The due date was a silent one compared to current years, but a lot of players that will certainly have an influence on the pennant races altered teams nonetheless.
So below is a consider where all 30 MLB groups presently stand post-trade deadline. Their recent efficiency, as well as exactly what each team did or did refrain at the target date was taken into account. Make certain to examine back here each Monday early morning the rest of the year for an updated consider where all 30 MLB teams stand.

We asked iVillagers, "What's the weirdest, rudest or most oblivious thing anyone has said to you while you were pregnant?" Some of the responses were flat-out funny, and some were enough to turn your hair white -- read 'em and weep.
1. A woman at the pool said, "You must be having a girl -- they say that girl babies steal their mother's beauty."
2. When we announced our pregnancy, my father-in-law said, "It's about time, we were beginning to wonder if you needed a biology lesson!" We'd been trying for a year, and I'd been on fertility drugs for six months.
3. Last week the FedEx guy said, "After you, your load is bigger than mine."
4. A week before I gave birth to my first baby, these two snooty women walked up to me and asked me to my face, "Why aren't you wearing maternity clothes? Do you not believe in them?" And then they walked off laughing at me. I was wearing maternity clothes! They had just stopped fitting at that point!
5. This old lady at Target looked at me and shook her head. She said, "You young girls need to see there are other things to do in the winter, and you won't end up in your situation." I told her I was in my mid 20s and had been married for 3 years and that my "situation" was actually a blessing!
6. My sister-in-law told me today that if I go into labor on Christmas Eve, she will "just have to miss it" because she has to go to the mall for the sales.
7. My father-in-law said, "Real women don't need pain medication during labor." I replied, "Real men know when to keep their big mouths shut."
8. When I was getting out of the shower the other day, my hubby said I look like a pregnant orangutan! Then he said he didn't mean it in a bad way! How can you mean that in a good way?
9. On the morning of my 20-week ultrasound (which I was understandably anxious about), I told a woman at work that I was going later that day. She proceeded to tell me detail by detail about her miscarriage 17 years ago.
10. When I was dealing with morning sickness and fatigue, my coworker had the nerve to say, "I'm not sure I want to be seen with you the way you look." And last Friday, she told me some days she wonders if I've bothered to brush my hair, because it looks like I'm having sex in the parking lot before work!

In light of global economic woes there's never been a better time to start saving your extra cash, so to facilitate your frugality Takara Tomy has introduced the Space Invaders bank. Fresh off celebrating the 30th anniversary of the old school arcade game, the accurate mini-replica plays the real game on a small tabletop for 100 yen per game.

Further updates and fotos from Mayapur flood
By Vrindavan Lila Dasi
Dear devotees, Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisancies. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
We are still trapped by the water in Youth Forum bld, Gosala area. We could walk to the temple in water upto our chest, but both of our healths isn't good at all. We do get out a little only around Gosala area, as it is less time to spend in cold water than trying to go to the temple.
In Mayapur.com galery you can find mixed pictures from varios devotees, that include temple area. I will try to go that side tomorrow maybe.
In attached file is a zipped folder with some photos from 2-nd day of flood at Gosala/Youth Forum area. Click here to download them
All Bengaly grihastha community that normally lives behind Gosala is now with us – in the Youth Forum building…. there are some pics of them too. They had to rush with all their posessions to the shelter of YF bld in the evening an into the night they were carry laggage in the waters…
Cooking is going on verandas with spicy smells mixed with kerosin smoke. Some of their houses got washed away… some ladies are crying. Life isn't easy for everyone… Somehow, by now everyone got settled in acceptance of the facts of life and trying to carry on living their lives.
Please pray that this Hare Krishna!
your servant, Vrindavan Lila Dasi

12:30 pm 28th, the water has stopped rising, but we have just got news that one barrage has broken and 1 foot more water is coming towards us by to night.
The water entered Panchatatvas alter yesterday evening, Lord Narasimha is no longer being dressed accept for a simple piece of cloth as whatever cloth is offered gets wet within an hour. Full worship is continuing. Srila Prabhupada has been taken to the top floor of the conch building and guru puja is going on there. The small deities and salagrams will most probably be moved to the conch building in the morning.
Unfortunately yesterday at 4:30 pm 27th, three devotees drowned when their bout turned over. Suchitendra's wife [Gouri Devi dasi, Srila Prabhupada's grand daughter] and daughter plus his brother all died in the accident.
Power is still on in most of the areas but the main grihaster area is only getting generator power for a few hours a day. The Ganga's current has increased and it is not so easy to move around. The humidity is very high and there are a lot of smelly fumes coming from the water.

The waters have stoped rising and went down a little but now rains are forecast for the next three days. The rains are starting as I type.
We went to the boy's ashram yesterday afternoon, they are without power and drinking water, they have a boat so some of the boys go to the main temple area every day to bring water and food.
Last night 11:00 pm Gouri Devi dasi, her daughter and brother in law were cremated at the Goshala.
The rain is pouring and the skies are black.

Comment and update by mani deep, SMIS senior student.
The water is presently going down slowly. The skies are no longer black and it's presently sunny. Today the 30th the water has receeded 3 inches overnight.
The kirtans in the temple are ecstatic and large amounts of charanamrita and maha are being distributed. Sweet evening bhajans are being held daily in the Conch building.
The Shree Mayapur International School has relocated to the Conch building room 870 where senior students are preparing for their Cambridge exams.
Despite the flood the cooks have managed to keep everyone on a healthy and varied Prasadam diet.
To all those who have deserted, fearing the flood austerities, the atmosphere here is enlivening.

it is raining steadily although there were clear skies all morning and the water has gone down by four inches.
The water left Panchatatvas alter this morning.
Power is still on almost every were although there are regular breaks of 15 to 20 minutes.
Dysentery and fever is the main problem at the moment for most devotees.

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Aurora AU670XA 30670 Paper Shredder
Product Review
About GHRI RatingsX
Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
At $34.99, the Aurora AU670XA 30670 gives impressively speedy shredding, a wide range of capabilities (including the ability to shred credit cards, staples, and paperclips) and great customer support. Unfortunately, we found it tricky to input sheets in the Aurora's severely angled paper feed and we couldn't help but make a mess lifting off the cumbersome lid to empty the bin. The Aurora was also the noisiest shredder in our test.
Type: 6-Sheet Cross-Cut

Gun-Control, Mental-Health Laws Won't Make Us Safer

We would do the young victims of the Newtown shootings no honor by frantically enacting futile restrictions on freedom.
It may be satisfying to "do something." But two things ought to be kept in mind. First, liberty is never more in peril than when politicians sense that the people want them to do something -- anything. Second, a false sense of security is worse than no security at all. Legislating in the heat of emotion will not prevent future attacks, but it will do irreparable harm to innocent people.
The proposition that restrictions on gun sales will prevent shootings has been debunked many times. One wonders how often it must be pointed out that someone who is willing to commit murder is not likely to be deterred by gun laws or gun-free zones, which merely amount to an invitation to killers seeking to create maximum mayhem before killing themselves. Increases in violent crime followed tighter gun laws in Britain and Australia.
Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook school killer, used a semiautomatic rifle modeled on a gun used in combat, but it does not follow that if the so-called assault-weapons ban were reinstated, mass shootings would stop. The original ban singled out rifles based on cosmetic considerations, but even a more comprehensive ban wouldn't make anyone safer. Millions of such rifles exist and would not disappear with the passage of a ban. Nor would the existing supply be confiscated. Thus, a plentiful black market would exist. Anyone who wants a banned rifle badly enough will have no trouble getting one. However, rifles are used in only a small percentage of crimes -- and let's not forget that violent crime has been declining for decades.
Gun controllers propose that gun sales occurring outside of licensed stores, such as at gun shows or between private individuals, should be subject to buyer background checks. It takes only a moment to see that that requirement would make no one safer. How would it be enforced? Informal sales by definition are beyond the view of the authorities. It's already against the law for convicted felons to possess firearms. Does anyone believe that restriction is effective? Again, someone determined to commit murder will get a gun without a background check. But having people believe otherwise may keep them from adopting sensible precautions.
James Alan Fox, a professor of criminology at Northeastern University, points out another problem with background checks: "Most mass murderers do not have criminal records or a history of psychiatric hospitalization." Furthermore, let's remember that Lanza took guns from his mother, a legal gun owner.
Nothing the gun controllers can think of will keep guns away from those who intend to do harm.
Unfortunately, some opponents of gun control try to take people's minds off guns by blaming shootings on mental illness. If people with mental problems could be more easily locked up, goes the argument, we'd all be safer. This is an especially dangerous idea. As Fox writes, "Certainly, people cannot be denied their Second Amendment rights just because they look strange or act in an odd manner." But that is what some people seem to want.
Proposing to lock people up (even in a purported hospital) before they have been convicted of a crime mocks the principles of justice we routinely pay lip service to. (True, these principles have been violated routinely in the "war on terror." Our task, however, is to stop this outrage, not make it more common.) Some commentators lament that it is not as easy to commit people as it used to be, but be careful what you ask for. Psychiatrists have no special skill at predicting who will be violent, and while they use terms like "mental disorder," there are no objective tests for psychiatric "diseases." Expanding the mental-health laws would save no lives, but it would jeopardize the freedom of people who pose no harm to anyone.
No legislative gimmick will prevent mass shootings. An open society is a risky society, and giving more power to our guardians only raises the ancient question: Who will protect us from our protectors?
In the end, there's no substitute for taking self-defense seriously.

Well said! The NRA website has a link that allows you to contact all of your state and federal representatives, the Governor and the President; you can tell them in your own words how you feel about any subject. Its quick and easy. If you dont want to loose your freedoms in the upcoming year, I suggest you take advantage as soon as possible. When the second amendment is lost or degraded so is your ability to uphold the rest of the Bill of Rights, or the Constitution for that matter. Protect the beak and talons of American freedom.

It's been called the Facebook for professionals but LinkedIn is so much more. For PR practitioners, there are countless advantages to having a LinkedIn profile – including the fact that it's becoming an increasingly powerful media relations tool.
Consider this: according to PR News, 92% of journalists are on LinkedIn. And as I mentioned in last week's post about Twitter, it pays to go where the journalists are.
A LinkedIn profile is the new (searchable) resume
LinkedIn profiles provide a clear picture of a person's education, experience, current employment and professional connections. And since they rank high in Google searches, they're easy to find. For journalist/PR pro relationships, this is a win-win.
In my recent post about email pitching, I mentioned the importance of getting to know a journalist, including what interests them and what they write about, before you pitch them. LinkedIn is the perfect place to achieve this goal.
Use LinkedIn's search function to find relevant journalists in your area and make an effort to connect with journalists you've already worked with on LinkedIn. Look through journalists' profiles to see where they've worked in the past and what beats they've followed throughout their careers. Many journalists post their stories and blog posts to their profiles, and reading them can give you an idea of their writing style. All of this will aid you in finding the right person to pitch to, and allow you to craft the perfectly personalized, winning pitch. And when journalists you've worked with change jobs or take on a new beat, you'll know.
This works both ways – journalists may look at your personal or LinkedIn company pages when they are searching for sources for a story. Completely filling out your personal LinkedIn profile and including relevant keywords will go a long way to ensuring journalists are able to find you. It's also important to make sure that company pages are properly filled out. Take advantage of this space for posting company updates, blog posts and press releases. All of these will be of interest to journalists looking for a source or a story idea.
The more connections you have on LinkedIn, the more opportunities you have to expand your network. By connecting with others in the PR field on LinkedIn, you can potentially have access to their contacts. If one of your connections is connected to a journalist you'd like to work with, LinkedIn allows you to ask your connection for an introduction.
LinkedIn Groups are also a great place to network. The site hosts countless groups where like-minded people discuss industry topics and connect for real-life events. There are a number of groups that feature both PR and media members – there's no telling where an online conversation might take you!
LinkedIn showcases your expertise
Journalists love to go to industry experts for quotes. LinkedIn Answers is an excellent place to showcase your expertise. Here you'll have a chance to answer PR- related questions, as well as those that relate to client companies. These answers are highly searchable, both within LinkedIn and through Google.

HUTTON: New IHSAA golf tourney format a drag for local teams
By Mike Hutton email@example.com or 6130141 or @MikeHuttonPT June 4, 2013 11:08PM
Valparaiso's Kyle Meihofer reacts to a missed eagle putt during his round at Beechwood in LaPorte Friday May 10, 2013. | Andy Lavalley~Sun-Times Media
Gary Am tee times
For a list of tee times for Saturday's Gary Amateur, see page 39 or visit posttrib.suntimes.com/sports.
Updated: July 6, 2013 6:40AM
Valparaiso golf coach Wayne Lichtenberger spent his Saturday during Memorial Day weekend driving to Battleground Golf Course in West Lafayette with his golf team.
Spending a rainy day at a golf course more than 90 minutes away from home on a holiday weekend isn't Lichtenberger's idea of a good time.
But he had no choice. The Vikings had to get a peak at the new regional digs before they actually teed it up there and, for a variety of reasons, that Saturday was the only possible time they were going to get a round in.
Let's just say the new tournament format for golf, which looks like it was crafted in about 30 minutes at the 19th hole of the last state tournament by the Indiana High School Athletic Association administrators, has left Lichtenberger feeling pretty grumpy.
Geography and common sense were applied only sporadically in the new setup.
For instance, Boone Grove heads out to Palmira for the Lake Central Sectional, which has 12 teams, instead of going to Forest Park for the Valparaiso Sectional, which only has 10 teams.
Beechwood in LaPorte has 14 teams — and one of them is Hanover Central — which is a hop, skip and a jump away from Palmira.
Most teams want to avoid Lake Central because it's the toughest of the three so I'm sure the Wildcats gleefully made the ride to LaPorte.
But Valparaiso could've easily accommodated them, too.
What really burns up Lichtenberger is that not only do the teams from Northwest Indiana have to make the long haul out to a golf course they aren't familiar with but that the Lafayette schools that advance will have played both sectionals and regionals on the same course.
And that Fort Wayne, which has the second largest mass of population in the state now, doesn't have a regional.
Like I said, someone was in a hurry when deciding to try to get this work done.
And what is left — at least for now — is a great big mess.
"Teams should not host a sectional and a regional," he said. "It's not like football or basketball, where a field is a field. It needs to be fair. You should be able to practice on the course. Driving two hours is not reasonable, especially when the only way to get down is on the weekend."
Lichtenberger, who is part of a two-person committee studying the issue, said they met with the IHSAA in March to air their concerns.
There was no movement from the IHSAA— at least for this year.
But the committee had already drawn up a reasonable plan for the future — one that could be implemented as soon as next year.
The new format lays the state out into five different regions and holds the regionals at various courses that are easily accessible to eligible teams. Essentially, he has divided the state into five regions with Indianapolis getting two regionals.
The smack-dab center of the one for Northwest Indiana would be in Wheatfield at Sandy Pines.
Lichtenberger even called out to the course and its representatives said they'd love to host it.
"I think that would be a great test of golf," he said.
The new format added two more regionals, which makes it more difficult to qualify for state. Each regional sends the top three teams.
The payback is that all 15 teams that make it get to stay for both days. There is no cut.
Lichtenberger has a theory as to what happened. The whole deal was heavily influenced by the middle of the state because those schools wanted to have the path of least resistance to the state championship.
"I think it's Indianapolis," he said. "They really didn't listen to a lot of coaches."
For this year, at least, he's muddling through, and like the Cubs, waiting for next year, when it might just be better.
