Befitting royalty, this impressive home invites families and friends to spend time together yet has acres of space for quiet interludes. A short drive in either direction leads to area restaurants offering a tempting variety of cuisine.
Activities nearby include seasonal swimming, snorkeling, fishing, hiking, shopping, boat tours and helicopter tours. World class surfing at Infinity's aka Pakala's.
Additional photo's including interior available upon request.
Technically the house has 4 bdrms, however, what was once a 'dressing room' off of the master bdrm has its own double bed and full bath. Egress is through the master bdrm. Hence the '4+' bedrooms.
Pakala House is the beach front home built by Sinclair & Ethel Robinson in 1912 at Pakala, Makaweli, Kauai, Hawaii.
The home is available year round for vacation rental. It's perfect for families and small groups up to 11 adults.
'Sinclair Robinson, former manager of Kauai's Gay & Robinson Sugar Plantation from 1912 until 1964 -- 52 years -- oversaw the Hawaii sugar plantation longer than anyone in the history of Hawaii's sugar industry.
He passed away in 1964; Ethel in 1966.
When asked at age 76, in 1962, whether he ever planned to retire, he said simply, 'Gay & Robinson has no forced retirement program.'
Robinson was born at Makaweli in 1886, educated at Harvard and worked as a field luna at O'ahu Sugar Co. and as assistant manager at Gay & Robinson before assuming the post of manager.
He said that in the old days at Gay & Robinson, sugar was bagged and put onto inter-island steamers anchored off the old Makaweli landing. Later, a railroad connected Makaweli to Port Allen and bagged sugar was transported there, where it was placed aboard freighters for shipment to San Francisco. In contrast, the company's bulk sugar is transported by truck to Nawiliwili and loaded aboard a freighter.'
'In days gone by, he has said much work was done on contract or piecework basis, which increased wages above the basic pay by about $1 per day.
Field workers worked 10-hour days, six days a week, and most walked to their jobs from their homes in nearby camps scattered about the plantation.
'The plantation day of early periods started with the mill whistles blowing at 4:30 a.m. Workers were on their way shortly after 5:30 a.m. A break for breakfast and lunch was taken and the work day ended at 4:30 p.m. Horses were the means of transportation for lunas, field superintendents and managers,' Robinson said.'

Pakala House is located directly on what is known as Pakala Beach and the world-famous Infinity (or Pakala's) surf break. The surf break is recognized as the longest 'left' in Hawaii. The property is the 8-acre estate of Sinclair Robinson former manager and partner of Kauai's last sugar plantation, Gay & Robinson. While sugar is no longer grown by the family, cattle ranching operations continue and several thousand acres are leased to corn growers. The estate is surrounded by 51,000 acres of the Robinson family lands including historic plantation villages such as Pakala Village (aka Pakala Camp) next door. Sinclair Robinson managed the plantation from 1912 until his passing in 1966. Pakala House, now owned by two of his grandchildren, was built for him in 1912 when he assumed the position of Plantation Manager.

About 120 local businesses gathered in the Love Civic Center to learn about the latest changes in state employment laws. Organizers lectured attendees on the proper way to stay in compliance with the Texas State employment law.
They covered specific topics including wage per hour policies, what to do when an employee quits or is laid off, and how to correctly employ contractors.
"While they hear a lot of information, they cant remember it all," said Legal Council Tommy Simmons with the Texas Workforce Commission. "All they have to do is give us a call 800-832-9394 and we'll be able to help them out with their question."

The Vampire Diaries Clip: Before Damon Departs...by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
What is Connor Jordan, aside from a dangerous new hunter in Mystic Falls? That much remains unclear, although there's apparently a map of some sort with clues on his arm.
What will happen to Connor Jordan once Damon gets a hold of him on The Vampire Diaries?
This Salvatore sibling makes it very clear in the following new sneak peek, which is courtesy of Thursday's "The Rager" and which revisits a deal Stefan and Damon made to conclude The Vampire Diaries Season 3.
Will Damon actually leave town? We somehow doubt it. But watch now to learn of his plans before he even considers doing so...
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The Vampire Diaries, Clips
me encanta damon miro la serie solo por el pero es cierto me encantaria que pueda ser feliz en algun momento.
I know pretty much that Damon will do whatever it takes to take out the new hunter and who knows if he'll eventually follow the deal and leave town. I can't wait for the next episode of season 4. =)
Some of you obwiously don`t watch the same show as i do..I`m a little bit sick of turning Damon into a second Spike..He never gets the girl, every girl he loved is addicted to bloodoholic Stefan and no one really cares about him without trying to change him on a really annoying level..If this is the Damon-Diaries, so why did everybody around gets a better storyline??..He lost his best friend and instead of anybody feeling his lost the peaople around judging him for wanting to leave. But really Stefan, he loves Elene?..Should he really stay and watching you both being happy..God, i miss Katherine..Someone in the near future should really be at Damons side..
@Amie, because this is the Damon Diaries and not the Vampire diaries. The writers are ruining this show. Everything is way way to much about him.
Am I the only one who loves Damon's tantrums? Lol I find them so adorable. Excited for the full episode! About time Damon said something, Elena has used him enough!
Oh God Damon, why are you such a wuss! Srsly, Stefan is right, Damo is making this so dramatic and as usual all about him - he is acting like a child who wants to prove a point by pouting his lips and saying well if you want me, I am going to away and make you feel better without me. Drama queen. He can't even take Stefan's punch like a man should. Hello, what did he expect that Stefan would thank him?! Damon deserved that punch he knows it. I hate the writers for making Damon into such a wussy.
Oh! I want Damon to leave and Elena to beg him to stay. The girl clearly USE Damon. Its enough...I am Delena shipper but I am so tired of thinking "Will They or Won't They?" so its better...Damon get someone else who at least loves him and not USE him...Anyways, I still hate Stefan! lolzz...
for once it would be really nice if Damon got one thank you for everything he did for Elena last season .!!!! He never gets any recognition or one acknowledgement for anything good that he does .Last season he stood by Elena and rescued her took care of her even went out in Werewolf country to bring her home .Why do the writers never give him any recognition .
I still stick to my theory that Conner is gonna be a "Ghost Rider" type being......Spirit of Vengance etc etc.
I would love for Damon to leave and take Stefan, Elena and the Originals with him. A girl can dream.

We've gotten used to journalists acting as lazy propagandists against the Iraq war effort, but yesterday's piece by USA Today's Gregg Zoroya takes the cake, stuffs its face with it, and goes back for seconds. "Pentagon Reports U.S. Troop Obesity Doubles Since 2003," reads the headline. For years the Angry Left has insisted that the liberation of Iraq was illegal and immoral, but Zoroya may be the first to claim it is fattening:
The number of troops diagnosed as overweight or obese has more than doubled since the start of the Iraq war, yet another example of stress and strains of continuing combat deployments, according to a recent Pentagon study.
Zoroya seems not to have noticed how astonishingly counterintuitive this assertion is. Obesity is in large part a product of inactivity. Being deployed in a war zone entails many hazards, but becoming a couch potato is not ordinarily one of them. If servicemen really are packing on the pounds while deployed in Iraq, it doesn't mean they're too stressed out, but that they don't have enough to do over there.
As it turns out, however, Zoroya's story is remarkably thin. Just for starters, the headline is wrong in declaring that obesity has doubled. Here's what the piece actually says:
From 1998 to 2002, the number of servicemembers diagnosed as overweight remained steady at about one or two out of 100. But those numbers increased after 2003, according to the study, and today nearly one in 20 are diagnosed as clinically overweight.
Zoroya's lead paragraph conflates "overweight" and "obese," and the headline writer settled on the latter, which is both more sensational and a shorter word. But all the study finds is that the percentage of overweight servicemen has increased, to 5% from 1% or 2%. The military has physical-fitness requirements, so that the likelihood of a soldier being obese is quite slim.
By contrast, Zoroya writes, "one in five Americans between ages 18 to 34 is obese, the study says." In other words, by the study's numbers, a young American adult not in the service is four times as likely to be obese as a military man is to be overweight.
We couldn't locate a copy of the study online. The Web page of the Army's Medical Surveillance Monthly Report, which published it, has not been updated in a year. We've emailed the editors to ask for a copy. In the meantime, though, Zoroya's story raises more questions than it answers. Michael Kilpatrick, a physician with the Military Health System, explains the report's methodology:
There may be even more overweight troops than the report shows, Kilpatrick said, because the study includes only servicemembers diagnosed as overweight during a visit with a doctor. The actual percentage of troops who are found to be overweight during fitness trials could be higher, he said.
Then again, it could be lower. And could there be a selection bias at work here? Two obvious questions occur to us:
First, are the numbers adjusted for age? If not, it may be that the expanding number of overweight soldiers is a function of the average soldier's being older, as a result of higher re-enlistment and the deployment of reserve and National Guard units into active duty.
Second, are servicemen--and especially older servicemen--more likely to be examined by military physicians during wartime than peacetime?
The most amusing flaw in this story, though, is that Zoroya quotes the study as saying the exact opposite of what the reporter claims it says:
"Stress and return from deployment were the most frequently cited reasons" for gaining weight, the study said.
Not deployment--return from deployment. This makes perfect sense: On coming home after months in a war zone to the land of McDonald's, home cooking and adult beverages, who wouldn't indulge enough to put on some pounds? Turns out the imminent threat to our servicemen's waistlines is not the Iraq war but President Obama's promise to end it.
'In a Related Matter'
New York Times reporter John Schwartz illustrates journalistic sleight-of-hand technique. Schwartz reports that the Obama administration is "pressing ahead with an argument for preserving state secrets originally developed by the Bush administration":
In the case, Binyam Mohamed, an Ethiopian native, and four other detainees filed suit against a subsidiary of Boeing for arranging flights for the Bush administration's "extraordinary rendition" program, in which terrorism suspects were secretly taken to other countries, where they say they were tortured. The Bush administration argued that the case should be dismissed because even discussing it in court could threaten national security and relations with other nations.
Douglas Letter, the lawyer representing the government, asserted the same state doctrine on Monday, "startling several judges on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit" and ticking off the ACLU. But Letter said the position he was taking had been "thoroughly vetted with the appropriate officials within the new administration."
This, of course, is inconvenient for the Times, which spent years portraying the Bush administration as lawless and power-mad. So Schwartz concludes his story by . . . changing the subject:
In a related matter, Patrick J. Leahy, the Vermont Democrat who is chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, on Monday proposed the establishment of a "truth commission" to investigate the Bush administration's treatment of detainees and other issues, like the firings of United States attorneys by the Justice Department. The commission, he said, could grant immunity to witnesses to explore the facts without the threat of criminal prosecution.
Now of course you could say anything is "a related matter"--a butterfly flaps its wings and all that. But in a related matter, MarketWatch reports that the New York Times Co.'s profits declined 48% in the fourth quarter compared with a year earlier. Do you see our point?
So Much for the Adversarial Press
In a Puffington Host post, Linda Bergthold trumpets fellow Puffington Host poster Sam Stein, who was among the "reporters" President Obama called on during his choreographed press conference Monday night. Stein, meanwhile, has a Puffington Host post of his own showing just how much he values the "public's right to know":
One day after President Barack Obama signed an executive order to close down the detention center at Guantanamo within a year, the New York Times ran a front page story detailing how a released detainee from that facility had gone on to help head a local al Qaeda affiliate in Yemen.
The timing seemed suspicious.
Then, last week, word came from the Associated Press that "three senior Pentagon officials tapped by the Bush administration to oversee detainee policy at Guantanamo Bay remain on the job despite President Barack Obama's order to reverse course."
Stein speculates that these "Bush loyalists" "leaked" the story "as a way of sending a signal to the new president." If they did, it is clear he does not approve.
During the Bush years, of course, there were many cases in which government officials leaked national-security secrets in order to undermine policies of which they did not approve--the classic conflict between national security and the public's right to know.
In this case, however, there is no claim that the putative leak harmed national security--only that it was politically inconvenient for Obama (as he seeks to do something that, to judge by the Times report, could itself damage national security). Journalists and hawks can agree that the release of information was desirable.
Only an ideologue or a partisan--one who values the closing of Guantanamo or the Obama administration's political convenience above either national secuirty or the public's right to know--can disagree. What does it say about the new administration that it gives such a person favored treatment at a press conference? Will the traditional press stand for this?
Obama vs. Nevada
The Associated Press reports on what may prove to be one of President Obama's more foolish political missteps. In a Monday campaign appearance in Elkhart, Ind., Obama declared: "You can't get corporate jets, you can't go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer's dime."
The reference to Las Vegas did not go over very well with that city's Democratic mayor:
Oscar Goodman spoke after a regular scheduled meeting with tourism officials where he expressed concern that federal lawmakers might be discouraging travel to the city.
"What's a better place, as I say, than for them to come here," Goodman told KLAS-TV. "And to change their mind and to go someplace else and to cancel--and at the suggestion of the president of the United States--that's outrageous." . . .
Goodman said Obama's remarks at the town hall meeting were unwarranted.
"That's outrageous, and he owes us an apology," he said. "He owes us a retraction."
Las Vegas is a Democratic stronghold in a state that has quietly become one of the most reliable presidential bellwethers. Obama was the eighth consecutive presidential victor to carry the Silver State. Only Ohio, which last backed a loser in 1960, has a longer streak.
The Hill reports that Nevada's senior senator, Majority Leader Harry Reid, found himself in the awkward position of defending both his state and his president:
"As all Americans spend less as a result of our economic crisis it's important to know that Las Vegas with the average daily hotel rate of only $119 is one of America's most affordable cities to visit," Reid said.
"That is a reason why nearly six million came came to Las Vegas to attend more than 20,000 meetings and conventions last year." . . .
Reid sought to smooth things over on the Senate floor, noting that he has received an assurance from White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel that the comment was not directed at Las Vegas as a travel destination.
"I've spoken at length with president Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, and will speak to the president when I have the opportunity. But Mr. Emanuel, Congressman Emanuel, made it clear to me--and I know this is the case--that President Obama's criticism was aimed at taxpayer funds for junkets. We gave a lot of money to the banks and they should in the use [sic] that money for junkets whether it is to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or New York. Las Vegas is a place that people look on as a good place to go for timeout. I repeat that president Obama during the campaign was in Nevada 20 times," Reid said.
Nevadans unhappy about the president's disparagement of their state may not need to wait until 2012 to express themselves at the polls. Reid is up for re-election next year, and he is thought to be vulnerable if the Republicans can recruit a strong challenger. It will be interesting to see if Obama makes any more campaign trips to Vegas between now and next November.
Great Moments in Public Education
From Chicago's WBBM-TV:
Hundreds of students have allegedly been beaten by teachers, coaches and staff at Chicago Public Schools. 2 Investigator Dave Savini continues his ongoing investigation involving the illegal use corporal punishment.
Treveon Martin, 10, is afraid of a teacher at his school.
"I've seen him hit five of them in the classroom," Martin said.
Martin says he and others have been hit, grabbed and even struck with a belt. . . .
An exclusive CBS 2 investigation discovered Treveon Martin is one of at least 818 Chicago Public School students, since 2003, to allege being battered by a teacher or an aide, coach, security guard, or even a principal. In most of those cases--568 of them--Chicago Public School investigators determined the children were telling the truth.
Well, at least the guy in charge of the Chicago public schools hasn't been promoted to a position where he'll have broader influence. At least, we're pretty sure he hasn't . . .
Hey, isn't that a squirrel over there?
Co-Opting a Slur
In response to yesterday's item about the use of "Taliban" as a slur for conservatives or Republicans, several readers wrote us to point out that New York Times columnist Bob Herbert, who referred to Rep. Pete Sessions in this way, was picking up on something Sessions himself said. Sure enough, as the New York Times Web site reported last week:
Representative Pete Sessions of Texas talked about what he also called Republicans' "positive, loyal opposition" to the stimulus package.
"Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban," Mr. Sessions said in an interview with Hotline, part of NationalJournal.com. "And that is that they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes."
In our opinion, Sessions's comment was in poor taste. That does not, however, get Herbert off the hook, any more than Don Imus's racially derogatory remarks a couple of years ago were excusable because black rappers say similar things.
Wow, He's an Artist Too!

I Felt Sorry for Myself Until I Met a Man Who Had No Publicist
"The Southern California mother of octuplets receives $490 a month in food stamps and three of her first six children are disabled and receiving federal assistance, her publicist confirmed Monday evening," Fox News reports:
Spokesman Michael Furtney said Nadya Suleman did not want to disclose the nature of the disabilities, or the type or sum of the payments. . . .
"In her view these are just payments made for people with legitimate needs and are not, in her view, welfare," Furtney said. "She just believes that there are programs for people with needs and she and her children qualify for some of them."
At least Nadya Suleman can afford to hire a publicist. That is more than many welfare recipients can say. Every night in America, millions of children go to bed publicity-hungry.

Morning all,
Due to a staff member moving back to be with her family, the Assistant ICT Technician role has just opened up in my department. Formal details and application forms on the school website; informal guff from me below. Closing date for applications is Tuesday 27th, and we'll be looking to interview not long after that to hopefully have someone start by November.
EDIT: And I should mention the following explicitly, although they're on the webpage: pay is G4.9 (£16,440) rising to G4.12 (£18,453), full time, with 24 days annual leave plus bank holidays.
The School
KGGS is an all-girls grammar school (11-18) that has just passed its centenary year. We have an excellent academic record and Maggie Thatcher was Head Girl here back in the '40s (sorry about that). We're regularly top 5 in our county for results and received an award this year for our AS Business Studies performance over the last three years. We're currently the only school left in Grantham and intend to stay that way for as long as we are able to.
The school is a very academic school, and we have very few behavioural or social issues in our student body. Time is spent teaching, not teenage babysitting, and as such you'll be expected to uphold the very high standards in everything you do. The staff and the students are both very demanding and they will push for the best.
The Department
Hi! I'm Matt and I'm the Network Manager. There's one other full time technician and a part time technician who splits her time between us and reprographics. You'll be the 4th member of this team (if you're lucky). We're pretty friendly and relaxed, we all share an office and sit with the radio on most of the time swapping banter. The office is air conditioned and has natural light, and believe me, I know how lucky we are there. There's a kettle and a fridge as well, so you can keep your caffeine levels nice and high with minimal effort.
We have a good rapport with the teaching staff who are very appreciative and grateful for the work we do - no, really. ICT was underfunded and badly staffed for a number of years, so they know how bad it can get, and are genuinely thankful that it works at all these days. The girls are very friendly and respectful, for the most part, and if they're not, you will be backed fully by the various pastoral folk in putting them in their place. If you've worked at a comprehensive before, the weirdest thing for you will be not having kids swear to your face - took me a while to get used to.
The Network
We've got around 400 workstations in school, mostly wired, with a few obscure machines on a wireless link. We avoid classroom laptops and therefore don't have need of managed wireless yet. The network is currently Windows 2003 supporting XP, but I'm currently in the process of setting up the shiny new 2008R2 virtual infrastructure ready to deploy Windows 7 next summer. Anyone with any experience of either of those will do well to mention it in their application ;)
What I'm Looking For
In all honesty, as much as qualifications catch the eye, I'm more bothered by experience, communication skills and troubleshooting ability. If you can write clearly and professionally, communicate with teachers and students, and can quickly narrow down the cause of the problem, you're ideal. Although we all work together in a largely equal manner, you will have responsibilities of your own, and systems you will be expected to be the resident expert for, so (as cliché as it is) you need to be a team player who's capable of taking the initiative on their own.
Drop any questions you've got here or in a PM to me, most of the details should be around on the school site anyway. If you do apply, feel free to drop me a PM to let me know your real name so I can marry your username up against your application form.

Really? That's odd. I learned that particular rule in Warhammer Fantasy, and you should have seen the flame wars over on the Warmachine forums when PP decided to allow unlimited measuring from your warcaster. GW games were always the most restrictive on measuring, and some of the last to convert to allow premeasuring.
For gamers coming from other wargames, any form of unapproved measuring is outright cheating. For example, if you have too much measuring tape out, or you're using a ruler, it's expected that you leave the extra behind your model. If I'm moving 4" but my ruler measures 12", and I happen to put the full 12" ahead of my model, that's cheating.
Not in any war game I've ever played or seen played. About 10 years of 40k.
I won't guarantee that your experience is necessarily the minority, but here's at least one nice big citation for "It's cheating":
I won't guarantee that it's in the majority either, but it does seem ridiculously retentive to me. It should be noted that the BoLS article generated, shall we say, a lot of discussion on the topic. I suspect it is more how exactly you are using it. If you have an extra 3-4 inches of measurement and are clearly moving things quickly and not looking past your move distance it would be fine, if you have 24" of tape measure out and are spending 2 minutes moving each guy, which just happens to be directly in line with a likely target, then yeah problem. Basically, yeah, premeasuring improves most war games (but not, I think, x-wing).
Not sure if this has been awnsered or not. But as far as i can tell post 6 ED 40k u can premesure when ever and what ever u want.. Premesure shots, move, psychic powers, everything. But hey this isnt 40K.

Locality: Bighorn Crags, Lemhi Co., Idaho, USA
When I found this pocket in 2003, it was a tiny hole barely visible in the otherwise solid granite. The hole was easily enlarged, as the Crags granite is somewhat less resistant to weathering than the granite of the Sawtooth Batholith. I found exceptional smoky quartz crystals here, along with porcelain-like microcline and snow-white albite. The flat from this pocket is shown here: http://www.mindat.org/photo-485052.html

11th Topical Conference on Gas Utilization
Coke oven gas (COG) is a by-product when producing coke from coal. It is not always easy to make use of COG, causing waste of energy. Producing liquefied natural gas (LNG) is an efficient way of utilizing COG. The amount of hydrogen affects liquefaction process significantly, because its thermal properties are quite different from the other compositions (methane, carbon monoxide, etc.) of COG. Based on nitrogen expansion liquefaction process, this paper simulates a series of liquefaction processes of COG containing different amount of hydrogen. After optimizing these processes and comparing their parameters, it turns out that the hydrogen content exerts a great influence on the unit power consumption and the liquefaction rate of the processes; however its effect on the product purity is not distinct. Furthermore, the liquefaction process is integrated with distillation separation of hydrogen to upgrade the quality of LNG. The ways of achieving energy integration between liquefaction and distillation are suggested, and the influences of some important parameters, such as pressure in the distillation column, are analyzed.

NEW YORK (AP) — An Egyptian-born preacher has pleaded not guilty in New York to charges that he conspired with Seattle men to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon.
Abu Hamza al-Masri appeared in Manhattan federal court.
Earlier Tuesday, two men brought from England to face terrorism charges made their first appearance before another Manhattan judge. Their trial was set for October 2013.
Khaled al-Fawwaz and Adel Abdul Bary are charged in an alleged plot to blow up U.S. embassies in Africa.

The alleged snubbing of Obama in Russia
snopes.com: Obama Handshake Snub
Nice try, but already been posted by the resident right wing punching bag and already been shot down: A MONTH AGO!
Pretty funny stuff. No 1-star yet though. Guess I'll 5-star it to call out the troops...
pew.......smells bad here......someone must have fahhted in another thread
The 'righties' have a handle on lies and distortions. They had a great example to follow with the previous Prez!
O, the Russkies LOVE Obama. So do the Chinese, Hooogo Chavez, and all others who see America as ripe for the picking.
But I think you'll find that "love" is rather short-lived. A "one-night stand", so to speak.
Missed that one. But still, another misrepresentation (lie) by the right.
you miss alot
Another useless post. That's what, 10 for the day?

Uttarakhand will have its own crack anti-terror force with the commissioning of a new 100-member commando unit soon.
Drawn from among the best in the State police force, the commandos have undergone rigorous training on the lines of the elite National Security Guard and will be deployed initially during the upcoming Kumbh Mela that will witness lakhs of devout Hindus arriving in the holy town of Hardwar early next year, a senior official told The Hindu over the weekend.
The mammoth Kumbh Mela and several vital installations including the Indian Military Academy and a few public schools here in Dehra Dun and Mussoorie have been on terrorists' hit list for quite some time now. The authorities describe the anonymous letters threatening Mumbai-type attacks in Dehra Dun as a possible hoax masterminded by at least two persons who have posted these letters including photocopies from as far as Kanya Kumari down South.
One person threatens to blow up railway stations across North India and usually sends these letters to railway officials; he is suspected to be based in Haryana while the other threatening serial blasts in Dehra Dun seems to have posted the letters from Kanya Kumari.
"We are in touch with the Tamil Nadu and Haryana police and will nab the pranksters," said one senior officer here.
"As a public safety measure, vigil has been stepped up in the State and anyone attempting to disturb the peace will be effectively dealt with," the official said.
The Government is also planning to issue special identity cards to persons living along the Indo-Nepal border to identify any alien settlers. Intelligence inputs hint at Pakistan-based terror outfits making attempts to smuggle in men, fake currency and ammunition through the porous border.
Similarly Maoist elements operating silently in Kumaon division of the State are reported to be getting logistical support through the border. The police have unearthed what could have been training camps in the forests around Naini Tal and arrested a few persons last year on charges of waging a war against the nation.
Keywords: nti-terror force, Uttarakhand, commandos, National Security Guard, NSG, Indian Military Academy, terror threats, terrorism.

I came today and saw the pitch and said wow what to expect here, we never know what to expect from this track ever," Harbhajan said after the match. "From next time, I think we have to ensure that we know what kind of wicket we are going to play," he added. Asked about his side's performance, Harbhajan said, "We did not play any better than Deccan, both teams batted poorly. Of course, our bowlers did a superb job. Rohit batted well and Ambatu Rayudu was there to take us home." Chargers captain Cameron White said the toss was crucial in such a wicket. "It was an important toss but we did not play too well. Our bowlers tried their best but the total was too small," he said. Asked about Steyn's fiery fast bowling spell of 2/10, White said, "He (Steyn) bowled fantastic and we made a match out of it. One thing you don't want to do is to have Steyn's overs remaining with the game finished."

The Source is Open, n00bs Welcome
I was discussing the topic of posting to a high profile site like Linux Journal with a friend of mine recently. Their take on the issue is that it can be intimidating to say stuff, either in a blog like this, or in a forum post, because of the "what if I mess up" concern.
I understand that concern, and sure, it's important not to claim expertise where there is none. It's also important to realize that everyone interested in Linux has the, "keys to the kingdom" so to speak. So I urge everyone reading: Don't hesitate in contributing just because you feel you don't measure up. Heck, they let me into this place, so there's hope for everyone. :)
Don't understand the difference between Compiz and Beryl? Me neither. It turns out, they're not sure either, and it looks like the two are merging.
Don't understand what Ubuntu means? Me neither.
Afraid someone might find out you're not all knowing? Eh, we already know.
So get involved. Post in the forums. If you get ridiculed, I'll get out my ugly stick and beat down the offenders. If it gets too serious, I'll make some armpit noises to soften the mood. Oh, and while you're in the forums, buy me a Chumby!

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Since we've been following Adam's career from the very start, we wanted to see if the pop star was paying as much attention as we were. Watch above to see if Glambert could recall his past Idol experiences, if he was on-point with his chart history, and if he knew other obscure tid-bits from his time in the spotlight.
Do you know more about Adam's career than he does? Tell us your score in the comments below, or on Twitter and Facebook. And treat yourself to some of the best pop tunes of the year by picking up Trespassing this week.

This will be the first event like this I have ever attended or entered so I don't really know what to expect, but I am looking forward to it! I entered three beers.
Will any of you be there or have you entered beers?
Two weeks to ferment, two more in the kegs
but in just one night it was drained to the dregs
They are asking for more judges on the website...so I am just posting here to get the word out.
Below is quoted from the competition website:
How did you do? It was my first comp too, with my 2nd and 3rd AG Brews entered! Amazingly took 2nd in the IPA with my Hella Hops IIPA...What are entering next?
Keg #1 --- ....Empty
Keg #2 --- Highland Brewing- Cold Mtn. Winter Ale
Keg #3 --- Dickens Cider
Keg #4 --- (Nitro) ....Empty
Keg #5 --- Birdsong Brewing- Mexicali Stout
Keg #6 --- Skull Camp Brewing- Knuckle Dragger IIPA
Keg #7 --- Skull Camp Brewing- Lazy Bones Porter
I actually JUST saw your message here....sorry I did not respond earlier!
Hey, congratulations on your ribbon!! I hope you can take 1st this year if you enter
My beers did not do so great, but I was extremely pleased with the feedback I received. My highest score was 32.5 on a Belgian Specialty Ale. From feedback, it was apparent that the judges liked the beer but could not score it well because the character from the coriander I had listed in the ingredients was just not present. I could not taste it myself, either, and understand what was meant by the judges. My Ami-Stout was oxidized, so was no good and my Ami-brown was just a poor recipe and was not brewed well by me.
I'm entering a Belgian Dark Strong and an American Barleywine this year. The Barleywine is super good I think, and will be 3 months bottled at the time of the competition...although conventional wisdom says to let a BW age for a year or so, I'm going to take a chance and enter it anyway
Ha, it will be time to enter before you know it....guess I'll enter my ipa again, a iipa and a barrel aged oatmeal stout...

Community Groups to Senators: Move Forward on ESEA Reauthorization
The groups, 47 in all, sent a letter to Senate leaders asking them to get moving already on ESEA reauthorization.
The groups, 47 in all, sent a letter to Senate leaders asking them to get moving already on ESEA reauthorization.
Congress is back in town this week, but education legislation is likely to remain on the back burner in both chambers for the next month.
On a completely predictable party-line vote, the Senate Education Committee approved a bill to reauthorize the long-stalled renewal of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act
Happy Friday! Read through three bills and still want more on the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act? Check out these good reads.
Will this finally be the year that Congress actually reauthorizes the No Child Left Behind Act, which has been awaiting renewal for more than six years?
Arne Duncan questioned whether Congress would ever be able to agree on rewriting No Child Left Behind if politicians couldn't agree to tighten gun control in the wake of Newtown.
The new Netflix series "House of Cards" features a ruthless congressman as he spearheads the renewal of a fantasy Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
A list of stories that you probably won't see on this blog next year.
The denial of the waiver request means the most populous state in the country, with the biggest congressional delegation, will be stuck with the No Child Left Behind as it is.
The four models already offered under the program call for bold action at troubled schools, which is what's needed, said a top department official.

If you think your relationship may be heading straight into a therapist's office, you may want to consider a couple of hours in the movie theater — or even on your living couch — with your honey.
According to new study published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, chatting about a relationship-themed movie with your partner can be as helpful as intense therapy sessions since it has been shown to reduce the divorce and separation rate in young marriages (three years or shorter) from 24 percent to 11 percet.
The researchers divided 174 newlywed couples into three groups: the conflict management group, where they learned how to handle heated discussions through a technique called active listening (listening and then responding on a delay to avoid flying off the handle); the compassion and acceptance training group, where they attended lectures and took the softer approach to their partner through actions like practicing random acts of kindness; and relationship and awareness through film, where they watched five couple flicks over a five-week period (one being the 1967 romantic comedy "Two for the Road" about the ups and downs of a married couple), followed by a 45-minute discussion.
So which type of therapy was the most effective? It was a three-way tie since they were all equally effective. "The results suggest that husbands and wives have a pretty good sense of what they might be doing right and wrong in their relationships," stated Ronald Rogge, associate professor of psychology at the University of Rochester and lead author of the study, as reported by ScienceDaily. "You might just need to get them to think about how they are currently behaving. And for five movies to give us a benefit over three years – that is awesome."
Also, since some of the newlyweds had been together (in total) for as long as seven years, Rogge adds that he this movie method might also be useful for long-term relationships, as well. "You might not be able to get your husband into a couples group, especially when you are happy," he adds. "But watching a movie together and having a discussion, that's not so scary. It's less pathologizing, less stigmatizing."
Many of us turn to the big (and little) screens in order to escape, but also to learn everything from history to how to make a kiss-ass vodka sauce. And even though a movie can be fictional (yes, which includes movies based on a true story), I guess it's easier to relate to your relationship issues when they're being played out by more glamorous people.

And that's why there will be no more self-demonstration for the rest of this page. This sort of faux-Shakespearian writing is often incorrectly referred to as "Old English", but "Old English" is the name of the earliest form of English that was spoken circa AD 500, also known as Anglo-Saxon (See Useful Notes: History of English), and is almost completely unintelligible to a modern English speaker. The silent "e" is somewhat Truth in Television, as after the Great Vowel Shift but before the mid-18th century, there was chaos in spelling, there being no official standards, and the pronunciations no longer being a guide. Words could be spelled however the author felt like spelling them, which is where we get quotes like "...bicauſe noe .2. thynges, can be moare equalle." Complicating this is that medieval writers made just as many spelling errors as we do, and that paper was so expensive to make that no one would have bothered rewriting a text for a few mistakes. These mistakes could then carry on by other writers copying the text, mistakes and all, and introducing mistakes of their own. The "ye," as in "ye olde" is not supposed to be pronounced like a "y". This is a modern hypercorrection of the Old English letter thorn, which was still used in Early Modern English (the English of Shakespeare's time) as shorthand to represent the "th" sounds. (To make matters more confusing, modern typography renders the letter thorn as "�", which looks nothing like "y".) So "ye olde" actually means and is pronounced as "the old". Another common error is rooted in the T-V distinction, the difference between familiar and formal you (tu-vous in French, t�-usted in Spanish, also many other languages). The formal form was "you" and the informal form was "thou." Gradually the informal "thou" dropped out of use, leaving only "you." Ironically, this makes "thou" sound more formal in modern English, despite its original job of being the informal form. Partly this comes from the King James Bible, which was written with lots of "thous" to be down with the common folk, including when addressing God! (This is true in many languages - in French for example one prays to God using the informal "tu.") It can be difficult to find any examples of early modern English used correctly in TV or movies (though please do note any particularly wretched examples you run across). Interestingly enough, in literature, many characters get it very wrong - because there was no agreed-upon spelling for English words, often the ye olde English isn't butcherede enough. If the issue is simply that the characters are not ones one might expect to be speaking something like Middle English, it may be simply Flowery Elizabethan English. Magick also makes frequent use of Butchered Englishe. Often combined with Hollywood Apocrypha. Compare Canis Latinicus, Antiquated Linguistics, Law of Alien Names and Talk Like a Pirate. Can cause some Fridge Logic when you realise the characters wouldn't actually be speaking English anyway. Sometimes the result of Did Not Do the Bloody Research.
