Arvind Kejriwal (born 16 August 1968) is an Indian politician and former civil servant who was the 7th Chief Minister of Delhi from 28 December 2013 to 14 February 2014. He is the National Convener of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Kejriwal is a Mechanical Engineering graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and worked for the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) as a Joint Commissioner in the Income Tax Department.
In 2006, Kejriwal was awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership recognising his involvement in a grassroots movement (Parivartan) using right-to-information legislation in a campaign against corruption. The same year, after resigning from the IRS, he donated his Magsaysay award money as a corpus fund to found the Public Cause Research Foundation, a non-governmental organisation (NGO).
In 2012, he launched the Aam Aadmi Party, and defeated Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit in the 2013 Delhi Legislative Assembly election. Following the election, he took office as the Chief Minister of Delhi on 28 December 2013. He resigned 49 days later, on 14 February 2014, stating he did so because of his government's inability to pass his proposed anti-corruption legislation due to a lack of support from other political parties. [1][2]
Early life
Kejriwal was born in a middle-class family in Siwani, Bhiwani district, Haryana on 16 August 1968, the first of the three children of Gobind Ram Kejriwal and Gita Devii. His father was an electrical engineer who graduated from the Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, and whose work led to many changes in the family's residence. Kejriwal spent most of his childhood in north Indian towns such as Sonepat, Ghaziabad and Hisar. He was educated at Campus School in Hisar[3] and at a Christian missionary school at Sonipat.[4]
Kejriwal graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur, majoring in mechanical engineering. He joined Tata Steel in 1989 and was posted in Jamshedpur. Kejriwal resigned in 1992, having taken leave of absence to study for the Civil Services Examination.[3] Kejriwal spent some time in Kolkata, at the Ramakrishna Mission in North-East India and at Nehru Yuva Kendra.[5]
Early career
Kejriwal joined the IRS in 1995 after qualifying through the Civil Services Examination.[6] In 2000, he was granted two years' paid leave to pursue higher education on condition that upon resuming his work he would not resign from the Service for at least three years.However, his qualification does not reflect any higher education degree, suggesting that he did not completed his higher education. Failure to abide by that condition would require him to repay the salary given during the leave period. He rejoined in 2003 and worked for 18 months before taking unpaid leave for 18 months.[7] In February 2006, he resigned from his position as a Joint Commissioner of Income Tax in New Delhi.[6] The Government of India claimed that Kejriwal had violated his original agreement by not working for three years. Kejriwal said that his 18 months of work and 18 months of unpaid absence amounted to the stipulated three-year period during which he could not resign and that this was an attempt to malign him due to his involvement with Team Anna, a strand of the Indian anti-corruption movement. The dispute ran for several years until, in 2011, it was resolved when he paid his way out of the Service with the help of loans from friends.[7]
Kejriwal believes in the dictum that "Change begins with small things".[8] In December 1999, while still in service with the Income Tax Department, he helped found a movement named Parivartan (which means "change"), focused on assisting citizens in navigating income tax, electricity and food ration matters in parts of Delhi. The Parivartan organisation exposed a fake ration card scam in 2008[9][10] but, according to a founder member, did not have a great impact generally and was largely crumbling by 2012.[11] It was for his involvement with Parivartan that Kejriwal had been given the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership in 2006. The award citation noted Parivartan and that that "the board of trustees recognizes [Kejriwal's] activating India's right-to-information movement at the grassroots, empowering New Delhi's poorest citizens to fight corruption by holding government accountable to the people."[9]
Together with Manish Sisodia and Abhinandan Sekhri, Kejriwal established the Public Cause Research Foundation in December 2006, donating the prize money he had received from the Ramon Magsaysay Award as a seed fund.[12] This new body paid the employees of Parivartan.[11] Kejriwal has used the Right to Information Act in corruption cases in many government departments including the Income Tax Department, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the Public Distribution System and the Delhi Electricity Board.[5]
Kejriwal was the civil society representative member of the committee constituted by the Government of India to draft a Jan Lokpal bill, following a campaign for introduction of such legislation that featured Anna Hazare. He had been arrested along with Hazare on defying Police directive to give a written undertaking that they will not go to JP Park. He attacked the government on this and said there was a need for a debate over police power to detain and release people at will.[13][14]
Political career
Kejriwal established the AAP in November 2012 as he believed that electoral politics was the next logical step in the fight against corruption.[15] This caused a rift between him and Hazare.[16] The party name reflects the phrase Aam Aadmi, or "common man", whose interests Kejriwal proposed to represent.[17] He became the fifth most mentioned Indian politician on social media channels in the run-up to the Delhi legislative assembly election of 2013.[18]
Chief Minister of Delhi
In the 2013 Delhi Legislative Assembly elections for all 70 seats, the Bhartiya Janta Party won 31 seats, followed by Aam Aadmi Party with 28 seats.[19] Kejriwal defeated incumbent Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit of the Indian National Congress in her constituency of New Delhi[20] by a margin of 25,864 votes.[21]
AAP formed a minority government in the hung assembly, (claiming support for the action gauged from opinion polls) with outside support from the eight Indian National Congress MLAs, one Janta Dal MLA and one independent MLA.[22][23] Kejriwal was sworn in as the second-youngest chief minister of Delhi on 28 December 2013, after Chaudhary Brahm Prakash who became chief minister at the age of 34.[24][25] He was in charge of Delhi's Home Ministry, Power, Planning, Finance, Vigilance ministries.[citation needed]
On 14 February 2014 he resigned as Chief Minister after failing to table the Jan Lokpal Bill in the Delhi Assembly. He recommended the dissolution of the Assembly.[26] Kejriwal blamed the Indian National Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party for stalling the anti-corruption legislation and linked it with the government's decision to register a First Information Report (FIR) against industrialist Mukesh Ambani, chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries.[27] In April 11 2014 Arvind Kejirwal stated that he had made a mistake in quitting the Delhi CM office early without communicating to the people and understanding what their expectations are from him. He also accepted that being a novice in politics he resigned and promised not to resign in future in any circumstances.[28]
2014 National Elections
Kejriwal said in January, prior to his resignation as chief minister, that he would not contest a seat in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.[29] He claimed party members persuaded him to change his mind, [30] and on 25 March, he agreed to contest against the BJP prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi,[31] from Varanasi,[32] but lost the election. [33]
Personal life
Kejriwal is married to Sunita, his batchmate from National Academy of Administration in Mussoorie and the National Academy of Direct Taxes in Nagpur. The couple have two children. Kejriwal is vegetarian and has been practising the Vipassana meditation technique for many years.[3] He has diabetes.[34]

Angkor Wat, the destination for most travelers visiting Cambodia. What most people don't know is that there are two different temples in Angkor Wat. The small temple and the big temple, or better known by the locals as the Little Wat and the Big Wat. This HDR photo was taken from the Small Wat. Most photos you see from Angkor Wat are from the Small Wat, usually a photo shot from the front of the temple. I wasn't able to get a good shot of the front because of reconstruction, but I did get some great shots from the inside of the temple.

The Calguns Foundation Sues California Attorney General Kamala Harris And DOJ Firearms Bureau Chief Stephen Lindley Over Federal Civil Rights Violations
SAN CARLOS, Calif., Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Calguns Foundation filed a new federal civil rights lawsuit this morning on behalf of three California residents, naming Attorney General Kamala Harris and DOJ Bureau of Firearms Chief Stephen Lindley as defendants. The case challenges the California Department of Justice's practice of denying individuals' fundamental rights protected under the Second and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130412/SF94281LOGO)
The Department, through defendants Harris and Lindley, have been and continue to enforce a policy of forbidding many gun purchasers from taking possession of their lawfully-obtained firearms through what are commonly referred to as "DROS delays", sometimes for over a year or indefinitely.
One plaintiff in the case, Darren Owen of Taft, California, has been denied his firearm for over 18 months."It's the government's responsibility to timely prove that someone has already been adjudicated and their Constitutional right to purchase and possess guns taken away through due process," explained Gene Hoffman, the Foundation's Chairman. "It's not the individual's job to prove that they have fundamental rights." "By shifting the burden to the individual, the DOJ is blatantly violating the Constitution and thumbing its nose at the U.S. Supreme Court's D.C. v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago decisions." Victor Otten, an attorney for the plaintiffs, agrees. "Our clients are not prohibited from owning guns under state and federal law," noted Otten. "The bottom line is that if the DOJ cannot determine that someone is ineligible to possess firearms in a timely manner with all of the databases and law enforcement resources it has at its disposal, then they have no choice but to allow our clients and other similarly-situated gun owners to take possession of their firearms." Under current California law, the DOJ must permit a firearm purchaser to receive their firearm at the end of the 10-day DROS background check period unless it determines that the purchaser is not eligible to possess or purchase firearms. Earlier this year, Assemblymember Tom Ammiano (D - San Francisco) amended his bill AB 500 to allow the Department of Justice to deny the release of firearms for up to 30 days. AB 500 is presently awaiting California Governor Jerry Brown's action. "We've received hundreds of reports like those at issue in this case and it's a virtual certainty that there are thousands of others like the individual plaintiffs out there," said the Foundation's Executive Director, Brandon Combs. "The DOJ's policy is nothing short of outrageous." Continued Combs, "It's time for the DOJ to respect the Second Amendment. If the Attorney General and her staff refuse to do it voluntarily, we will not hesitate to force it in the courts. In filing this case, we seek to ensure that the Constitutionally-enshrined fundamental rights of Californians to buy and possess firearms are respected no matter how far Ms. Harris or Assemblymember Ammiano might wish the DOJ's powers extended."

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Kevin Durant scored 25 points and hit the game-winning jumper from the foul line with 1.5 seconds left to lift the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 99-98 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.
Durant maneuvered to the free throw line and got off a high-arcing shot over Shawn Marion that hit off the front of the rim and then off the backboard before falling through.
The defending NBA champion Mavericks, who were out of timeouts, could not get a shot off before the buzzer.

text: I have been on depo for about 6 months now and I stopped never went back for another shot. It caused alot of problems. I bleed non-stop for six months. Had to increase my epilepsy medication due to increased seziure activity. In pain to the point where I couldn't move. I experienced losing my hair and now have to wear fake hair pieces to add original look to my hair. Worse of all I couldn't eat or sleep because of that I lost weight very quickly. Being a larger woman all my life was very scary when from a size 38+ waist to a size 20 waist in less then 4 months. I have been off the shot for about a month and Have gotten my period for that whole time. Originally this medication was given to decrease my pain during my period which has increased so much that atleast once a week I have to go to emergency to get the pain killers that make it so my hubby doesn't have to help carry me everywhere. I myself wouldn't recommend it to anyone. But to each there own.

Web, Email And MySQL Database Cluster (Mirror) On Debian 6
hi folks,
I build up a Web, Email And MySQL Database Cluster (Mirror) On Debian 6 according to the tutorial from Falko, I have 2 load balancers and 2 nodes, I'm balancing http and smtp with HAproxy, everything seems to be ok just some little things dont work as I expect... I have no previous experience with clusters so I'm not shure if the issues are normal or not, so please could somebody help me understand this.
1. when I try to access ispconfig3 over the virtual IP it fails but when I use one of the nodes IP's it will work.
2. when I try to access webmail (squirrelmail) over the virtual IP it works fine but when I try it like this: http://www.somedomain.tld/squirrelmail (www.somedomain.tld points to the virtual IP)
I will get the login screen but my username & password will not be accepted, this issue is a little bit anoying.
3. when I try to receive & send mail over the virtual IP it fails but when I use one of the nodes IP's it works fine, transports to the virtual IP work also well.
thanks in advance!
Something seems to be wrong with your virtual IP. Please check with
thanks for reply falko,
you mean on the active loadbalancer I guess, because the nodes behind doesnt have virtual IP's, as far as I have understood the behavior of HAProxy is that it will route the requests hitting the virtual IP to one of the backend nodes where both nodes are always active but maybe I'm wrong...
ok, when I do a 'ifconfig' I do not see the virtual IP on both loadbalancers but when I do 'ip addr sh eth0' I will see it
ifconfig output:
I've made some testing and come to that point that squirrelmail is not able to authenticate logins when reached over the virtual IP, when I connect directly to one of the backends IP's there is no problem to log in. This is the only thing what I realy have to change since I dont realy need to connect to ISPConfig via my virtual IP.
thanks in advance!
i have just noticed when I'm trying to login via the virtual IP I get the squirrelmail message "you must be logged in to access this page", when I refresh this page squirrelmail shows me the list of my emails but when I try to open one I'm logged out, so I think my sessions are not handled correctly...
here is my HAProxy config, maybe I've configured somthing wrong:
[SOLVED] Web, Email And MySQL Database Cluster (Mirror) On Debian 6
after some testings I was able to find the solution, it was the HAProxy, I have changed "cookie JSESSIONID prefix" to "cookie JSESSIONID insert nocache" in the "/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg" to be able to login to my webmail (sqirrelmail/roundcube).
here is a documentation snippet explaining the behaivior of that particular option:

Saul Zaentz 1921-2014January 4, 2014 at 12:50 pm #2302
So, John Fogerty's response to the death of Saul Zaentz is to post a video of "Vanz Can't Dance" on his Twitter account. So much for moving on from the past and letting go of the anger.January 4, 2014 at 6:26 pm #2305
Zaentz was 92 when he passed onto the other side. The cause of death was complications from Alzheimer's. Plus he was very old, but a long life is a gift from God.
When somebody passes from this beautiful earth, they face judgement from our Father, and we must try our hardest to say kind things about them. They are dead and gone; their life has become a grave that is now sealed. No part of it can be undone.
God and only God has the power to judge a person; what they did with their life and how they treated others matters. Now and for eternity. Let us not judge, lest we be judged.
Perhaps this proverb says it best:
Proverbs 13:6
"Godliness guards the path of the blameless, but the evil are misled by sin."
God bless.January 5, 2014 at 2:50 am #2307

Let the man rest in peace allthough his mistakes
More important for music is the death of Phil Everly !!!January 5, 2014 at 3:54 am #2308
John look to the future. The battle with him is over. For ever !!
Be happy and do what you like the most. Make your music. You are a Legend.January 5, 2014 at 5:35 am #2309
Jim ProMember
Remember that this man had children and grandchildren. Have a little respect for his grieving family. John ,putting that song on your Twitter account was pretty low. It's time to move onJanuary 7, 2014 at 10:17 am #2312
Sorry he's dead, but he did jerk John around, putting money over the music and artistic freedom. I'm with John on this one. I can forgive the man for being greedy, but I wasn't the one told I couldn't play my own songs, cheating music lovers and fansJanuary 8, 2014 at 4:12 am #2315
Jeacar, JF was never told he could not play his own music. Since Fantasy owned the rights to all of the CCR material, JF chose not to perform those songs live (until the Washington DC Veterans Benefit concert in the late 80s) because he would have had to pay Fantasy for performing the CCR material.January 9, 2014 at 1:14 pm #2317
No one can reasonably ask you to forgive and forget, John, but that tweet is not worthy of you. The big thing to do would be to withdraw it and apologise.January 26, 2014 at 9:08 pm #2407
Well, just joined what i believe is the fourth or fifth JCF forum over the years (what happened to all of the other forums?). Anywho…been reading much info over the years regarding Mr. Greed. I know in my own long life there are only 2 persons I can honestly say I "hate". "hate", to me, is a very very strong word. I can think of a couple dozen people I strongly dislike, but do not truly HATE them. I bet most people if they use this standard probably only truly HATE a very few people they have known in their lives. My bet is Mr. Greed is perhaps only one of a very few people JCF truly hates. I also believe that he only "dislikes" Stu and Doug, and even this has mellowed over the years.
With all that said, John Fogerty has every right to HATE Saul Zaentz. This man KNEW he was ripping off John all through the years, and didn't only persist in just ripping him off, but by suing him for plagiarizing his own music, etc. "dug it in" to John's mental state, depriving him of many, many years of his "muse" to write songs, etc.
I only wish John could have posted the original "Zantz Cant Dance" version of the song…and he would have EVERY JUSTIFICATION for doing so. But, alas, he would only get sued again…by Mr Greed's heirs…January 27, 2014 at 2:12 pm #2416
The problem with hate is that the only person really hurt in the long run is the person consumed by the hate. It eats at you like a cancer. So sad to see Mr. Fogerty post the video in response to the death of the Mr. Zantz. Forgive, but don't forget. Time to let go of the hate Mr. Fogerty and move forward.August 23, 2014 at 2:19 pm #3520
Michael McCartneyMember
I was sitting here at home the other day and I was playing Who'll stop the Rain. I love the classic CCR stuff but for many years my own cover bands did not perform CCR songs in support of Mr. Fogerty. As long as he refused to ply them so did we. Saul Zaentz was a piece of shit that preyed on young artists. He took advantage of their innocence and that to me is, and was, no different than rape. He had no sense of decency. To sue John because his later work sounded like some of the songs Saul had stolen is beyond reprehensible. I am sorry if Saul's family may feel that their beloved patriarch is being attacked, but frankly, I think they should know that he was a liar and a thief. Do some reading on him, he even sued a tavern for calling itself the Hobbit (a name they had for over 20 years), because he had film rights to Lord of the Rings. He was a greedy, lying, piece of shit and I hope he burns in Hell. Good riddance. Rock on John.August 25, 2014 at 8:14 pm #3523
Right on, Michael McCarney!!!
I like your style.
IT rings of the TRUTH and it is the TRUTH that shall set us all free.
John Fogerty's music which was birthed in the Creedence era has outlasted the cheat, Zantz and it has made Fogerty richer than some kings, which is only fair.
A person with that level of musical genius deserves to live like a king, but one who is loved by his fans.
His songs are so legendary, they have achieved a legacy of their own.
Some of his early songs ascended into the ethers of our planet where they will live forever….some of his later songs are catching up to that earthy air also.
In the end, everything ever said or ever done is stripped bare…
bare to the pure essence of basics…
John's music will outlast him, the artist himself and it is so great, it will outlive all of us.
Those songs keep this beautiful earth turning…….X OAugust 26, 2014 at 5:58 am #3525
+1 on Michael McCartney's post.August 26, 2014 at 1:18 pm #3528
Well, what's done is done. Look to the future….don't hang on to the past and leave scratch marks.

Gossip Girl Sneak Peek: I've Been Meaning to Tell You ...by Steve Marsi at . Comments
In this sneak preview clip from next week's Gossip Girl, Serena has something she wants to tell Blair ... only she doesn't get a chance to spit it out because Blair is rambling on about Dan's decision to pass on Rome.
At the end of "Raiders of the Lost Art," Dan turned down the prestigious writing fellowship offered to him for the summer, a fact that apparently doesn't sit well with B, who takes it as a sign that he doesn't trust her.
Trust, after all, is the most crucial component in a relationship, "after sex, hygiene and earning potential." If there were a Dan vs. Chuck scorecard for those categories, who do you think would rank higher?
Just asking. Serena tries to back off after hearing Blair vent, but is quickly called out on her C+ lie. We know from the Canadian Gossip Girl promo that she spills her secret eventually. It's just a question of how B responds.
Take a look at the sneak peek from "The Fugitives" below:
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: Gossip Girl, Clips, Spoilers
"Rounding up because I like your outfit." Blair and Serena scenes kill me.
This is going to be funnn.
I wanted to comment this before but I was unable to. When I first saw this clip I wasn't upset by it, but that changed when I realized, Blair has the nerve of speaking about relationships and what is needed to make them work when she is a 21 years old divorcee! She obviously has no shame, because she has no moral to preach about what it takes to make a relationship work when she is such a young divorcee, with a sham of a marriage that lasted nothing and was so public and humiliating to everybody involved.
I missed Blair sooooooooooooo much! I love how she's getting her character back, and chair is close!
i wonder hoo will blair choose in da season finale...hopefully it wud b chuck...nd i want dan 2 suffer...serena shudkeep her distance frm dan after wat he did 2 him...but i know tat da writers will make serena vulnerable...nd dan will get away with his happily ever after with serena coz shez 100 times betta than blair.........like s's outfir hate b's.......:)xo xo love g.g
Blair is a whore!!! why serena is still talking to her? i don't understand
what's up with serena's voice? is she sick or something? I noticed this in the last episode too...
I read what is written on the link, and I'm not sure that's true. Although this episode was great, I still can not believe 100% that the writers decided to return to the story on track. It also has many holes. Nowhere is mentioned when Serena changes Blair in the next episode. Second, how Serena have access to the site GG when the right GG regained the laptop. Everyone now suspect that Dorota is GG, it is likely that Dorota puts Blair diary on the GG site. How Dan goes back to Rome, when he refused to grant. A lot of inconsistencies!
hope this episode be as good as the last
I don't understand why B is still with Dan. She doesn't love him the way she should at this point, and he doesn't trust her. So what is the point. Serena obviously still likes Dan so Dair should just part as friends. It would be better for everybody.

Washington Examiner Gets a New Sports Columnist
The Washington Examiner has hired Thom Loverro as a new sports columnist. Most recently he worked at TWT, until the paper discontinued its sports section.
He joins the Washington Examiner as a thrice weekly columnist and regular blogger. He will still co-host "The Sports Fix," a sports-talk radio show that airs daily on ESPN 980.
Loverro joins a group of sports columnists already at the Examiner, including Rick Snider, Phil Wood and Jim Williams.
Editor Stephen Smith says Loverro adds a "dimension we haven't had before."

also looking at the map 641 starts north of I40.... south of I40 the same road is just ((on the map anyway) 69
This bee my opinion
Tennessee Highway Patrol Lt. Brad Wilbanks said Friday that about 500 volunteers were searching a more narrowly defined area after authorities ruled out territory that has been thoroughly examined for any evidence in Holly Lynn Bobo's abduction.
Wilbanks says Decatur County Emergency Management Director Kevin Cagle completely remapped the search area on Thursday.
There has been some controversy concerning Holly's brother, Clint Bobo and possible conflicts with his story to the police. This has been dismissed by family members repeatedly. Authorities have said nobody has been cleared of suspicion, but they still have not named anyone as a suspect. There have also been accusation that the family spokesperson, Kevin Bromley, avoided answering questions. This is not unusual when there is an ongoing investigation. Authorities do not want to hinder their investigation nor alert a potential suspect they are being investigated.
JMO. Unless there's a link, I can't prove it.
will tweeted earlier that ice was needed and a TRUCK of it arrives! amazing... ((picture above))
This bee my opinion
I know someone who may possibly go search this afternoon. she asked on FB if anyone wanted to go with her. I have been waiting on a chance to go but got hit with a pinched nerve yesterday so cannot make it
If she gets to go and reports anything I will post it here.
ETA: FWIW, this woman is a college graduate, well informed and a christian....I would believe anything she says as I have known her for years,IHO...just hope she gets to go as she is an amazing person.
I snagged this Headline News Map... might be useful to someone...

"Remember, They will never buy the cow if they can get the eggs for free! " ... Kelly Bundy
it seems that all the search areas/things found are really right off of 69 (which turns into 641 north of I40)
as I am looking at the map...
This bee my opinion
hmm maybe they want the perp to think they are investigating the brother. Make him feel save and he will mess up????
I keep reading that a lot of people think they should be bombarding the air waves, but if LE is executing a plan, then I am sure they are doing what the experts think is the right thing to do for the case (and not the general public want-to-knows like us). Same for the family spokesperson.
Wilbanks says authorities hope to be confident by Sunday evening that the local area has been completely searched. If Bobo is not found, the scope of the search will be expanded.
This bee my opinion
Thanks for the feedback on the family speaking up. Basically, I recalled the mom and dad's initial discussion in the media and the mom's breakdown (painful for sure), but I had seen nothing else from anyone except the singing cousin. I seem to recall a tad bit more in other high profile missing person cases. I'm impressed that with so little information coming from LE or family that volunteer counts stay so high. That speaks volumes of the quality of character of the people connected with the search, the locals and Tennessee residents. Lesser people would burn out. I applaud them.
On Thursday, law enforcement officers conducted searches and reassessed the areas that have already been searched to determine their course of action.
Tennessee Highway Patrol Lt. Brad Wilbanks said today that about 500 volunteers are searching a more narrowly defined area after authorities ruled out territory that has been thoroughly examined for any evidence in Bobo's abduction.
much more at link
This bee my opinion
G'day all!
Couple of questions....
Where did the info about hair being found on the duct tape come from?
MOO-the tape looks new, is too long to have been over a mouth and is too crisp to have been used for binding. Honestly it looks like it was placed there very carefully. Hadn't there been big rains prior to it being found?
Do we have any verified locals on here? If you're local please get in touch with a mod and become verified! Once verified if you would, change the little tag under your name to say something like "verified local in Holly Bobo's case". Thank you for being here!
Investigators revisited key areas on Thursday in the search for 20-year-old nursing student Holly Bobo, who disappeared from her home in rural Decatur County more than a week ago.
They downplayed media reports about a woman whose boyfriend had chased away a man who attempted to abduct her in the early morning hours in January. That incident happened in Hickman County, about 50 miles or more from where Bobo disappeared.
"It is one of the many leads we are working," said Kristin Helm, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. "Yes, an agent has spoken with her.
"We've received more than 300 and we're looking at all of them," Helm said of the leads police have received since Bobo's April 13 disappearance. "This is just one that the media has picked up on."
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. ~ Aristotle
The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.
It strikes me that LE is searching outside, and I understand that would be most logical. I wonder if the perp has her inside somewhere? I think she is alive. Never felt that until this morning.
***ELVIS has left the building***
This is what the family spokesman said about info being released to puNORVILLE: As you know, today the police indicated, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation indicated they do have the DNA results of that blood, but they`re not releasing it to the public. Is it frustrating to the family to know that there is so much information that has gone unreported or unpublicized?
BROMLEY: Well, obviously, in an investigation of this nature, you know, information, when it`s not passed on, it can be frustrating. But they also know that those who are investigating, the TBI, the FBI, are very competent. And they want to make sure that -- you know, they know that when information is released that it is very factual. There`s been a lot of -- as with any case, there`s always a lot of rumors that begin circling and surfacing in an investigation of this nature. But the family has full confidence that they are following up on leads and doing the best they can with the investigation.
LE has never verified the duct tape only the lunch box
here is link to all the tbi releases in the case:
(((not saying I don't think the duct tape is related... it is just not confirmed by LE)))

How to find out NCLEX results - page 2

- 0Feb 12, '13 by californiaboyQuote from dvicariCongrats!!!Well this is my first post because I believe that I have passed the NCLEX thanks to the PVT!! I took the test today which I'm not gonna lie, was very difficult. Took extreme commitment and dedication. But the test shut off at minimum questions and I got at least 20 SATA questions (which I heard was a good thing). Tried the trick and got the correct POP UP. Now I wait for confirmation via Mass Board of Nursing, or 48 quick result which ever comes first!! Words cannot express how excited I am to be a nurse! Its not a job for me but a true passion!!
- 0Apr 25, '13 by tahirtabaniI used this trick. Yea............. i got the right pop up. Today morning i took my nclex. I hope that i really pass. I will get to know in 48 hours.
- 0Hello!
May be someone can help me. When I was trying this trick it has been asked me to provide Country of graduation, the school name and the city or the program code. I graduated from medical College in Ukraine. And as soon as I put Ukraine as a country of graduation it blocks the other information. Did any foreign graduator have the same problem. Any suggestion?
- 0Aug 16 by scaredsilly, BSN, RNI heard that they stopped asking you to contact the BON in the popup quite some time ago. It sounds to me like you passed. Congrats!

I brew with my brother and my dad. When my dad wanted to build this I thought he was crazy. It cost about 70$ and was a lot of work. We brew and bottle beer for all three of us( sometimes 8 cases at a time). With this sanitizer we can brew a 12 gallon batch and bottle 8 cases of beer in a 6 hour brew day. If your bottling 2 cases at a time this is not for you. If your bottling 6-8 cases at a time its worth the investment.
I think it's overkill for most of us, but AWESOME overkill nonetheless.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
Very nice. I'm doing something similar...well actually not, same concept different approach and using bottle fillers up side down so you can swap bottles on the fly and it shuts off by itself.

A late-campaign e-mail from congressional candidate Mark Mays to supporters repeats a well-travelled rumor that his opponent, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, plans to resign mid-term if she wins and let another Republican be appointed to the seat.
It's a rumor that McMorris Rodgers and her alleged replacement, County Commissioner Todd Mielke, deny. Mays even said he doubts it, although he's heard it for months.
"Frankly, I don't think there's much to it," Mays said.
In fact, there is one element of the rumor that is proveably false, because it doesn't match state law.
This time of year, two things always happen in close proximity: Halloween and Election Day.
Spin Control will spare you the speculation of which is scarier at your door, little kids looking for candy or politicians looking for your vote.
But the closeness of the two events — they are never more than eight days apart — means you should do one thing right now.
Pull your yard signs out of the sod, the flower bed or the gravelly right away, and put them away for 24 hours.
They are just too tempting for the slightly larger goblins, the teens and the tweens, to pass up as they swing through the neighborhood tonight. It's Friday night, and they're likely to be out later than when Halloween falls on a weeknight.
Those thin plastic ones might not fade in the sunlight, but they won't withstand a rock or a sharp stick. The wooden stakes will be broken, the metal stakes will be bent.
And there's nothing that anyone's going to be able to do about it. Maybe you were hoping to save the sign as a memento of that historic campaign, just like grandpa's I Like Ike sign or Dad's McGovern-Eagleton sign.
Save yourself the grief, and the hassle of calling your favored candidates and trying to beg for another sign in the last few days of the campaign. Take your sign down and put it some place safe.
Do it now.
Alert reader John O'Rourke wondered about the posting that mentions some 700 ballots have already been pulled because of improper signatures.
Do they examine each ballot for matched signature? Who deterimines what's mismatched and what kind of training they get to be experts?
Good questions, which come up with more frequency because Spokane, like most Washington counties, conducts its elections by mail.

Or you can go to this link to read more about signature problems with ballots, and check to see if you're on the list.

Ballot Watch: More than 120,500 ballots have been returned to the Spokane County Elections office. That's about 47 percent; put another way, more than half of everybody that's gonna vote, has voted.
Here are today's headlines in the presidential campaign from The Associated Press:

Obama says Bush put economy in a ditch and McCain would keep it there

6 days until the election. Washington voters must drop off their ballots at a designated location or have it postmarked by 8 p.m. Tuesday. Idaho voters can vote at poll sites from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Residents who aren't registered can register at their poll site and cast a provisional ballot.

"You don't need to boo, you just need to vote." — Barack Obama, to a crowd in Sarasota, Fla., after mentioning his Republican rival John McCain and the economy.
In Florida, 12 percent of the state's white Democrats say they are voting for Republican John McCain, according to a recent Associated Press-GfK poll.
Democrats running in the hot 6th Legislative District are now flatly rejecting income taxes – at least in campaign ads.
Don Barlow and John Driscoll are responding to Republican-backed groups that have accused them supporting an income tax. But the statements in new advertisements for the campaign are much simplified from what they've said before when questioned about income taxes.

Some 37 percent of all Spokane County voters have already sent in the ballots.
County elections officials say they've received and begun processing 95,371 ballots as of Tuesday morning.
A breakdown of the legislative districts shows the 6th District starting to edge ahead of the others in terms of turnout.
A King County Superior Court judge refused today to order the state to demand a birth certificate from Barack Obama.
There's a thread on the Internet that suggests Obama wasn't really born in Hawaii and raises questions about the authenticity of his birth certificate. It has been debunked by groups such as factcheck.org and snopes.com, but some people still have their doubts, even after looking at photos of a certified copy of the certificate.
Judge John Erlick essentially said the state ain't going there. He turned down a request by Stephen Marquis to have Secretary of State Sam Reed demand a copy of the birth certificate or other proof of native-born citizenship.
Erlick said Marquis didn't offer any proof, and he's not even going to rule on the question of citizenship. "The 2008 election is already in progress; ballots have been issued and a substantial number of voters have voted."
This will probably not be enough for some conspiratorialists….
The Washington Public Disclosure Commission has tallied up the contributions in the governor's race, by candidate and county, and the results aren't too surprising.
Like the famous bank robber Willie Sutton's admonition, both Dino Rossi and Chris Gregoire go where the money is, that is King County, for the largest chunk of their contributions.
But Gregoire gets nearly two-thirds of her identifiable money from King County, compared to 40 percent for Rossi. And he is out-raising her in most other counties.
For maps of the two candidates' contributions, go inside the blog.
Must be time to changeup the ads in the governor's race. Both Chris Gregoire's and Dino Rossi's campaigns released new commercials today, and both are connected to The Spokesman-Review.
Who knew the paper was so important in the political realms?
Gregoire's bragging about endorsements from newspapers that are backing her this year but didn't in '04. (It features The Spokesman-Review rather prominently, although she avoids the discussion from the Seattle area blogs about how conservative The S-R's editorial page is.)
Rossi's commercial warns of tax increases should Gregoire get re-elected, and cites her conversation with the newspaper's editorial board about the prospects for a state income tax.
Both are coming soon to a television near you. If you can't wait, click here to go inside the blog to see them.
The Washington Secretary of State's office is predicting the election turnout will top 3 million by the time the counting is done.
That's a record, as is the 3.6 million total for voters on the books. That latter number is moving upwards as county elections offices around the state process the last-minute registrations.
No telling whether the 3 million turnout estimate includes ballots that will be found in odd places by King County if a recount is needed for any reason.
Spokane County Democrats seem to be hoping that Barack Obama has long coattails.
Their latest e-mail to like-minded folks tries to link a Democrat in the White House to Democrats in the courthouse, suggesting that Obama will need folks like Brian Sayrs and Kim Thorburn running Spokane when he's in charge in D.C.
At least, that's the most logical interpretation of the message on their e-mail:
Don't Let the COURT HOUSE go the way of the Bush WHITE HOUSE!
Obama will need all the help he can right here at home!
Exactly what help Obama might need from the Spokane County Board of Commissioners isn't clear.

Democrat Barack Obama spent $3.2 million on payroll in September, nearly three times more than Republican John McCain, according to campaign finance reports.
Did young people rush to register in recent weeks because they're becoming more politically aware? Or were they just more likely to procrastinate?
We probably won't know until the ballots are in…because if they're really into politics they'll actually vote.
But as the chart above shows, about half of the new voters who signed up in the just-ended special registration period were under 35.
