KOCHI: The Kerala high court doesn't have the jurisdiction to order the police to produce the Kashmiri husband of a Christian girl from Fort Kochi who is believed to be detained in Srinagar by relatives, the state government submitted to the court on Thursday.
The submission was made by additional director-general of prosecution Tom Jose Padinjarekara when the habeas corpus petition filed by Merin Godsey from Veli seeking an order to locate her husband Muhammed Sikhander Gora from Anzimar Khanyar in Sringar came up for hearing on Thursday.
Arguing the case before a division bench of Justice K M Joseph and Justice M L Joseph Francis, the ADGP submitted to the court that the boy is being detained in Srinagar and only a court has the jurisdiction to order for his production.
Relying on a full bench decision of the Kerala high court in 1974, the ADGP argued that the person being detained left Kerala on his free will and as he is alleged to be detained in Srinagar, only a court there can interfere, he submitted.
The petitioner's counsel K V Sabu had submitted to the court earlier that cause of action was partly in Kochi itself and, therefore, the high court has ample powers to order for production of the boy being detained in Kashmir.
The couple met each other in Kochi and stayed together here and left for Kashmir later on, which gives the court jurisdiction to intervene as cause of action took place partly in Kochi, the counsel had told the court.
Merin fell in love with Muhammed while working at a jewellery shop in Fort Kochi. She later went to Kashmir along with her lover and converted to Islam to marry him. Two months after the marriage held at Kashmir, the boy's relatives began threatening her that they would make him divorce her. This was after taking into custody 30 sovereigns of gold and Rs 1 lakh that she had with her.
When the threats became unbearable, Merin had returned to Kochi in November 2010 and subsequently approached the high court with a habeas corpus petition to locate her husband believed to be detained by his relatives in Kashmir.

Having to harvest many pumpkins early due to stress of vines from heat and bugs as I have posted earlier. Does any one know if it is OK to harvest when just a tiny bit of green is still on pumpkin? If this was mid Oct. I would not bother asking, but trying to cure and save these now for Oct. and beyond. If they are too green then I should leave them but I have borers randomly boring right into pumpkins so I am wanting to get them out of the patch as soon as possible. Have many that look like this. Should I give them a bit longer or should they be OK to harvest? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes. You can actually harvest them when they are deep green and have the slightest hint of orange. Even at that stage they will ripen fully off the vine. This isn't ideal if you want a long storing pumpkin but they will at least continue to ripen. |
Thanks Trev, hoping you were out there for me today. Will get about 10 more off tomorrow then! |

Calorie Counts on Menus—Friend or Foe?
A recent study found that children and teens pretty much ignore calorie counts posted on fast-food menus (which is required in New York City). While the kids noticed the calories posted, they ordered whatever they wanted regardless. No big surprise there—how many kids do you know are going to order the salad instead of the cheeseburger because it's 200 fewer calories?
But what about you? Do you notice when calorie counts are posted, and does it affect what you order? I personally love when places post their calories, and it definitely influences what I eat. It's so easy to order something—even something that sounds healthy, like a soup or salad—without realizing that my seemingly light lunch is packing on a lot more calories than I think it is. It's pretty shocking to see how many calories are in a large order of fries (1464 at Five Guys Burgers, to be exact—that's almost the total number of calories you're supposed to consume in an entire day) or a Starbucks Frappuccino (a grande White Chocolate Crème is 480 calories, which is essentially a meal). So I welcome calorie counts on menus; they help me make smarter, healthier choices. And I'll stick with the small fries and tall skim latte, thank you very much. (Most of the time.)
Are you a fan of calorie counts, or do you hate seeing them posted? And do they affect what you order?

WHY HER She's glamour girl and earthy Everywoman.
WHY NOW In The Cooler, she's Lady Luck to William H. Macy's loser in love.
After turning heads as a feisty doc on ER in 1997, Bello nabbed high-profile parts opposite Ben Stiller in Permanent Midnight and Mel Gibson in Payback. But while her career was taking off, the Philly native was mired in ''major existential angst'' -- plus a painful breakup. The solution: globe-trotting to refugee camps for Save the Children. ''Those joyful kids gave me hope,'' says Bello, 36, now a proud mama to 2-year-old Jackson Blue (with beau Dan McDermott). And she didn't give up on films. With tough-talking turns in Coyote Ugly and Auto Focus, she was the actress costars Macy and Alec Baldwin wanted as The Cooler's troubled waitress. Next, she'll play Johnny Depp's estranged wife in Secret Window and a reporter in John Sayles' Silver City. But Bello admits she's a bookworm at heart: ''I've always wanted to re-create the salons of Paris. Five years from now, I see myself sitting in my own wild little bookstore in NYC.''

Fortunately, you always keep a book in the car as usually the only chance you get to read a few paragraphs is while sitting in the parking lot waiting for your son to pack up his baseball gear. With this whole...54 minutes in front of you, why, you might even read a whole chapter. Or two. In a ROW.
The machine that steams the milk is now spitting foam at an employee. He makes futile attempts to stop it. Your heart rate increases with each of his painstakingly slow adjustments. He'll probably have to call in a five-man repair crew from Steamed Milk Machine Experts & Co. You want to scream, "Hurry up! This is my only hour to myself!" But look at that....he fixed it. You and your latte are soon on your way to the park.
You almost can't believe it when you arrive. See, The Fates are not always working against you. Sometimes things do work out. Check your watch. You only have 29 minutes left? Inconceivable! Gulp some latte, scalding your tongue while you scan the park for an available bench.
The first one you find is on the clear opposite end from where you parked. You stomach churns as you hike toward it, knowing you'll now have to allocate extra time to walk back to the car later or you'll be late for school pick-up. But you are NOT going to let aggravation ruin this. This is your one freakin' hour to your freakin' self and you're going to freakin' enjoy it.
Set your liquid companion down on the warm park bench. Your phone beeps. Ignore! Don't even take it out to see who it is. You refuse to waste even a second of whatever time is left dealing with the phone. That resolve dissipates quickly as you worry it's the school saying one of your kids is sick. Take a look and feel relieved it's just a text from your husband requiring a simple two-word reply. Fight any and all urges to click the Facebook or Twitter icons.
Attempt reading in the bright sunlight. Readjust your angle so the sun is behind your shoulder instead of in your eyes. Turn the page. Wonder if you remembered to put your son's book order form in his backpack. Oh no, is tomorrow the day the social studies poster is due? The one where so far all your son has written is "Our Founding Fa"?
Ugh, now is not the time to be worrying about these things! Ignore wave of guilt. Check your watch again. How are there only 17 minutes left? Yell at yourself to hurry up and read! Ignore quizzical looks from strangers who heard you.
The sun is hot. It's a brisk early spring day, but the direct sunlight has Caribbean-like heating capabilities. The warm beverage isn't helping. Try to read another paragraph, but you're baking. Speaking of baking, you have no idea what to make for dinner. What do you have in the house that's healthy and quick to prepare? Now there's an oxymoron.
Reread the same paragraph twice in the sweltering sun. You can't stand it. You have to move. As you spring up, some of your now tepid latte splatters onto your jeans. Marvel how the high-quality disposable travel lid failed to do its sole job of keeping the liquid inside the cup. Blot the spill with the crumpled coffee house receipt because in your haste, you forgot to grab a napkin. Tell yourself it's okay, tea doesn't stain much, although you know the opposite to be true. But at least you didn't spill the whole thing, right? RIGHT?
Only 6 minutes left before you have to head for the kids' school. Half-walk, half-hobble due to the discomfort caused by your now soggy pant leg sticking to your thigh and seek shade under a nearby tree. Easy yourself down into in a pretzel-like position. Open your book again. Without the sun, the stain on your jeans feels cooler and wetter. Stretch your legs out in front of you, wincing at how any movement acerbates the problem. Attempt to read while simultaneously holding the fabric away from your skin. Get up. Get up and give a swift kick to the tree trunk, although you know nothing was its fault. Mumble an apology.
Arrive at the school pick-up line late and more stressed out than had you not had 59 freakin' minutes to yourself.
Actual Amount of Me Time: 59 minutes
Real Feel: 4 minute blur
Amount of Vanilla Chai Latte Enjoyed: 1 oz.
Number of Times Tree Trunk Had Been Kicked Previously: 2754
Chance You Will Get Another Hour to Yourself Anytime Soon: 0
If you had a precious uninterrupted hour to yourself, how would you spend it? How often do you manage to get time for yourself?

Benjamin Earl King[1] (born September 28, 1938), known as Ben E. King, is an American soul and R&B singer. He is perhaps best known as the singer and co-composer of "Stand by Me"—a US Top 10 hit in both 1961 and later in 1986 (when it was used as the theme to the film of the same name), a number one hit in the UK in 1987, and #25 on the RIAA's list of Songs of the Century—and as one of the principal lead singers of the R&B vocal group the Drifters.[2]
Early life[edit]
King was born Benjamin Earl Nelson on September 28, 1938 in Henderson, North Carolina,[2] and moved to Harlem, New York, at age 9.
In 1958, King (still using his birth name) joined a doo wop group called the Five Crowns. Later in 1958, the Drifters' manager George Treadwell fired the members of the original Drifters, and replaced them with the Five Crowns.[3] King had a string of R&B hits with the group on Atlantic Records. He co-wrote and sang lead on the first Atlantic hit by the new version of the Drifters, "There Goes My Baby" (1959). He also sang lead on a succession of hits by the team of Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, including "Save the Last Dance for Me", "This Magic Moment", and "I Count the Tears".[2] King only recorded thirteen songs with the Drifters—two backing other lead singers and eleven lead vocal performances—including a non-single called "Temptation" (later redone by Drifters vocalist Johnny Moore). The last of the King-led Drifters singles to be released was "Sometimes I Wonder", which was recorded May 19, 1960, but not issued until June 1962.[4]
Due to a contract dispute with Treadwell in which King and his manager, Lover Patterson, demanded that King be given a salary increase and a fair share of royalties, King never again performed with the Drifters on tour or on television; he would only record with the group until a suitable replacement could be found. On television, fellow Drifters member Charlie Thomas usually lip-synched the songs that King had recorded with the Drifters.
In May 1960, King left the Drifters,[2] assuming the more memorable stage name Ben E. King in preparation for a successful solo career. Remaining with Atlantic Records on its Atco imprint, King scored his first solo hit with the ballad "Spanish Harlem" (1961).[2] His next single, "Stand by Me", written with Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, ultimately would be voted as one of the Songs of the Century by the Recording Industry Association of America. "Stand by Me", "There Goes My Baby", and "Spanish Harlem" were named as three of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll; and each of those records plus "Save The Last Dance For Me" has earned a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. King's other well-known songs include "Don't Play That Song (You Lied)", "Amor", "Seven Letters", "How Can I Forget", "On the Horizon", "Young Boy Blues", "First Taste of Love", "Here Comes the Night", "Ecstasy", and "That's When It Hurts". In the summer of 1963, King had a Top 30 hit with "I (Who Have Nothing)", which reached the Top 10 on New York's radio station, WMCA.
King's records continued to place well on the Billboard Hot 100 chart until 1965. British pop bands began to dominate the pop music scene, but King still continued to make R&B hits, including "What is Soul?" (1966), "Tears, Tears, Tears" (1967), and "Supernatural Thing" (1975). A 1986 re-issue of "Stand by Me" followed the song's use as the theme song to the movie Stand By Me and re-entered the Billboard Top Ten after a 25-year absence.
In 1990, King and Bo Diddley, along with Doug Lazy, recorded a revamped hip hop version of the Monotones' 1958 hit song "Book of Love" for the soundtrack of the movie Book of Love. He also recorded a children's album, I Have Songs In My Pocket, written and produced by children's music artist Bobby Susser in 1998, which won the Early Childhood News' Directors' Choice Award and Dr. Toy's/The Institute For Childhood Resources Award. King performed "Stand by Me" on the Late Show with David Letterman in 2007. Ahmet Ertegun said, "King is one of the greatest singers in the history of rock and roll and rhythm and blues."[5]
As a Drifter and as a solo artist, King had achieved five number one hits: "There Goes My Baby", "Save The Last Dance For Me", "Stand By Me", "Supernatural Thing", and the 1986 re-issue of "Stand By Me". He also earned 12 Top 10 hits and 26 Top 40 hits from 1959 to 1986. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a Drifter; he has also been nominated as a solo artist.
King's "I (Who Have Nothing)" was selected for the Sopranos Peppers and Eggs Soundtrack CD (2001).
King was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in 2009.[6]
On March 27, 2012, the Songwriters Hall of Fame announced that "Stand By Me" would receive its 2012 Towering Song Award and that King would be honored with the 2012 Towering Performance Award for his recording of the song.[7]
Current activities[edit]
Currently, King is active in his charitable foundation, the Stand By Me Foundation.[8] He has been a resident of Teaneck, New Jersey, since the late 1960s.[9]
King performed "Stand By Me" during a televised tribute to late comedian George Carlin, as he was one of Carlin's favorite artists.
On November 11, 2010, he performed "Stand By Me" on the Latin Grammys with Prince Royce.

"As Schneider (1968: vi) points out in the preface to his book on American kinship, the insights one has into one's native language and into the behavior within one's own speech communitypermits a level of analysis which is far deeper than that which can be reached in other field sites:
There is another reason why the study of kinship in America is especially important to Americansand that is that Americans, this is a society and a culture which we know well. We speak the language fluently, we know the customs and we have observed the natives in their daily lives. Indeed, we arethe natives […]." (p.125)
"The issue of evaluation by other researchers, who are themselves members of the speech community under analysis, is of great importance here." (p. 125)
"As mentionedearlier, in my opinion, the most useful definition of speech community is that given by Hymes (1972b):"Tentatively, a speech community is defined as a community sharing rules for the conduct andinterpretation of speech, and rules for the interpretation of at least one linguistic variety. Both conditions are necessary." (p. 126)
"A major point to be remembered is that not all speakers of a language doshare the same rules of speaking, and therefore, not all may be said to belong to the same speech community." (p. 126)
"For this reason, as was pointed out early, it is unrealistic to speak ofinvestigating the rules of speaking for English, or indeed, most other languages. Depending on the group studied, the rules are likely to vary." (p. 126)

Gorgeous pictures. Snapdragons are my new love in the garden. I have several packs of seeds for them next year. Maximillian Sunflowers are amazing...they are so robust. They kept blooming even though it got cooler outside! They are still in full force in my yard too. (Love those basil heads! I miss those...mine didn't do well at all this year) |

I LOVE this African Blue Basil. It doesn't skip a beat in drought and cannot set seeds since it is a steril hybrid and a tender perennial. I would surely save seed if I could and share! I had three plants in the garden; 2 were cuttings from the mother plants. I brought back in the mother plant already, but you can see even the cold and below freezing temps/fall frosts we've had also haven't bothered it :D I love the Max too, but will be digging then out and away from the flower border. Next year they will have their own spot up against a wall. Vera |

Hay Festival 2011: Ex-CIA Man Claims Barack Obama 'Doesn't Have a Clue'
June 16, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
David Cameron and Barack Obama ''don't have a clue'' about dealing with the war on terror, a former senior member of the CIA has claimed.
Former head of the CIA Michael Scheuer talks about Osama bin Laden at the Hay Festival Photo: PA
Speaking at The Daily Telegraph-sponsored Hay Festival, Michael Scheuer said western politicians had to accept that the conflict in the Middle East was caused by US foreign policy.
Mr Scheuer, the former head of the CIA's Osama bin Laden unit said that the terrorist and organisations such as al-Qaeda were fighting a war against US imperialism rather than a war on western culture.
''American politicians, and I'm afraid listening to Mr Cameron this week, there's not a clue about what's going down in the western world,'' he told the festival.
''They can't cope with the fact that it's nothing to do with the way we live. It doesn't have anything to do with elections or democracy or liberty.
''We are being attacked in the west and we will continue to be attacked in the west as long as we are in Afghanistan, as long as we support the Israelis, as long as we protect the Saudi police state."
He added: ''Yet we hear the President, we hear your Prime Minister, talking about thugs and gangsters. We are still in the starting blocks in this war.
''The main recruitment sergeant for al Qaida is Barack Obama because his speech on the May 19 was a declaration of cultural war on Islam.''
Mr Scheuer, who was speaking at the Festival, in Hay-on-Wye, Powys, is a controversial figure in intelligence and political circles.
He left the bin Laden unit two years before September 11 but was called back as an adviser in the wake of the terrorist attack.
Mr Scheuer described his experiences in his book Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terrorism. It was published anonymously in 2004, but Mr Scheuer was soon outed as the author.
His book drew criticism in the US, but was praised for its insight in a speech by bin Laden himself.
In a round of questions, a member of the audience asked Mr Scheuer what advice he would give Mr Obama.
''I would ask him to tell the truth,'' he replied.
''He, the first Mr Bush, then Mr Clinton and the second Mr Bush have assiduously lied to the American people for 20 years and as a result have made the relations in the United States between Muslims and other people much more difficult.
''They have identified the motivation of our enemy as a war against liberty, as a war against gender equality."
He added: "There is almost no Muslim out there who is an insane character who is going to blow himself up because my daughters go to university.
''What I try and show in my book is that there is no discussion by bin Laden of this cultural war that is supposed to be waged against us.
''A president who was a statesman and a politician might say something like 'I'm sorry we've been kinda lying to you for 30 years and why we are being attacked is until recently we were supporting fascism across the Middle East'."
He continued: ''In the rhetoric of our enemies there is very little, if anything, about attacking us for how we live or how we think or how we act in our own country.
''It is about intervention, it is about being in the Arab Peninsula and it has nothing to do with these cultural things.
''We are the ones that are arranging the cultural war against them. What we will see as al Qaida evolves is that the next generation is better educated, combat experienced and probably much crueller.''
Mr Scheuer said the only way to end the war on terror was to withdraw from the Middle East to an extent that is ''consistent with our interests''.
He added: ''The American relationship with Israel, in my mind, is a useless and unnecessary relationship.
''As long as we are playing a role we are the recruiting sergeant for the people that are going to kill us.''

China Accuses US of Online Warfare in Iran
March 4, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Iran election unrest an example of US 'naked political scheming' behind free speech facade, says Communist party editorial

The United States used "online warfare" to stir up unrest in Iran after last year's elections, the Chinese Communist party newspaper claimed today, hitting back at Hillary Clinton's speech last week about internet freedom.
An editorial in the People's Daily accused the US of launching a "hacker brigade" and said it had used social media such as Twitter to spread rumours and create trouble.
"Behind what America calls free speech is naked political scheming. How did the unrest after the Iranian election come about?" said the editorial, signed by Wang Xiaoyang. "It was because online warfare launched by America, via YouTube video and Twitter microblogging, spread rumours, created splits, stirred up and sowed discord between the followers of conservative reformist factions."
Washington said at the time of the unrest that it had asked Twitter, which was embraced by Iranian anti-government protesters, to remain open. Several social media sites, including YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, have been blocked in China in the last year.
The editorial asked rhetorically whether obscenity or activities promoting terrorism would be allowed on the net in the US. "We're afraid that in the eyes of American politicians, only information controlled by America is free information, only news acknowledged by America is free news, only speech approved by America is free speech, and only information flow that suits American interests is free information flow," it added.
It attacked the decision to cut off of Microsoft's instant messaging services to nations covered by US sanctions, including Cuba, Iran, Syria, Sudan and North Korea, as violating America's stated desire for free information flow. Washington later said that such services fostered democracy and encouraged their restoration.
China initially gave a low-key response to Google's announcement that it was no longer willing to censor google.cn. The internet giant said it had reached its decision following a Chinese-originated cyber attack targeting the email accounts of human rights activists, and in light of increasing online censorship.
Clinton's direct challenge to China, in a speech that had echoes of the cold war with its references to the Berlin wall and an "information curtain", led Beijing to warn that US criticism could damage bilateral relations. Clinton called on China to hold a full and open investigation into the December attack on Google.
In an interview carried by several Chinese newspapers today, Zhou Yonglin, deputy operations director of the national computer network emergency response technical team, said: "Everyone with technical knowledge of computers knows that just because a hacker used an IP address in China, the attack was not necessarily launched by a Chinese hacker."
US diplomats sought to reach out to the Chinese public by briefing bloggers in China on Friday. They held a similar meeting during Barack Obama's visit in November.

Aug 1, 2013 10:32 PM by Bill Halter, AP
NEW YORK (AP) - Looming playoffs could force an end to negotiations in baseball's latest drug scandal as pressure builds to impose penalties so stars can still make the postseason.
Monday appears to be the deadline for Alex Rodriguez and 13 others to accept suspensions for their ties to the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic. While A-Rod is expected to get a lengthy ban, a penalty starting that day would allow Texas All-Star outfielder Nelson Cruz to return for October.
Major League Baseball is prepared to issue two simultaneous announcements no later than Monday, a person familiar with the process told The Associated Press on Thursday. One would list players who accept suspensions; the other would name those disciplined without deals, but who could challenge penalties before an arbitrator.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized.

Anthropology vs Archaeology (Archeology)
Anthropology is a very popular field of study and belongs to social sciences. It is in fact, study of man as the word itself is made up of anthropos, meaning man, and logos, meaning study. So everything about man, not just in the present but from ancient past also makes up the subject matter of anthropology. Archaeology (archeology) is also study of the artifacts dug out from below the surface of the earth (related to men from the past). This study, tells us a lot about the culture, lifestyle and history of ancient men. Thus, both subjects are, in a broader sense, studying about man in general. Archaeology is thus, a part of anthropology which is akin to sociology of the ancient man. Despite such close relation and similarities, there are some differences between anthropology and archeology that will be high lighted in this article.
Anthropology is the broader of the two subjects as there are many aspects or parts of anthropology such as geographical distribution of early man, how he lived in different climates and regions of earth is what comprises geographical anthropology. Study of differences in physical features of early man and its classification into different races on the basis of color of skin, shape of head, height and other distinguishing features is what makes up study matter of racial anthropology. The third division of anthropology is interested in the culture of the early man, his social life, his interaction with others and nature as well as his intelligence as shown in artifacts of his time. His languages and customs and traditions of social life make an integral part of this study known as cultural anthropology.
It is this cultural anthropology that is closer to archeology as an archaeologist tries to know all about ancient man on the basis of analysis of artifacts dug from beneath the surface of earth where ancient civilizations lived. The tools and artifacts that are dug are arranged in their chronological age and then analyzed to throw light on the man of that time and his life. How he lived, interacted and managed with nature.
Difference between Anthropology and Archaeology
The study of anything related with man is anthropology. In this sense, archaeology is a sub field of anthropology. Archeology ends, where history begins. So, the study of prehistoric man on the basis of analysis of material dug from beneath the earth is archaeology. In North America, archeology is accepted as a sub field of anthropology but outside this region, archeology is regarded as a separate field of study, a subject that focuses on prehistoric man through analysis of his tools and other artifacts found through digging of earth. Whether archeology is accepted as a field of study within the fold of anthropology or regarded as a separate field of study, the fact remains that both are studies of early, ancient man. Such study is partly conjecture, partly revealed through the analysis of tools found through excavations carried out in archeological expeditions. Archeological research is always chronological in nature as it is necessary to classify the artifacts found on the basis of their ages. This is considered as the starting point of archeological research.

Leather is used to make watch straps because it is inexpensive, compared to the other products. It also allows for customisation. Leather can be dyed any colour. Due to the predominant use of buckles as a fastening, leather straps can be made one length and easily adjusted to fit a number of different sized wrists. The downside is that they are nowhere near as long lasting as metal straps and they can get stained fairly easily. Leather straps have the advantage of being made from a soft natural fabric, so most people find that they are comfortable to wear. Imitation leather is also available, these straps tend to be cheaper and less durable. Some people may find that they are allergic to them.

The village of Monowi Nebraska is incorporated and has a population of one. Elsie is the mayor, town clerk and librarian, yes, Monowi has a 5000 volume library. Elsie also runs the tavern and cafe, surprisingly busy. It is really more of a pub than a tavern because there is a big box of toys over in the corner and if you want to buy a cup of coffee and read a book shes happy to have you. Ranchers from miles around come to eat and have a beer there. A sign behind the bar advertises"The Coldest Beer in Town". That it is since it is the only beer in town. Elsie has to submit an annual town plan to the state to get funding to pay for the elecrticty used in the 4 lights that light the town. If you want to check out a book from the library just ask Elsie for the key and sign you name on the register by the door. Elsie has been known to fire up a tractor with a grader behind it to take care of the towns street system. One street. Oh yes, she has to pay taxes- to herself and the amount reported to the state with a breakdown of what the taxes are used for. |

Catalpa |
Catalpa. Can't tell which species -- the furrowed bark seems to suggest northern catalpa as opposed to southern. Surprised it's blooming this early, but you are near the Gulf coast. Nice form too. |
Might be C. x erubescens. |
I would have guessed Southern Catalpa. But its hard to tell from the pictures. |

How To Check Body Fat Percentage
Need to know how to check body fat percentage? Checking your body fat percentage is generally a more accurate measure of your fitness than weight, because weight does not take into account your fat to lean muscle ratio. Your body fat percentage is how much of your bodyweight is fat versus how much is lean muscle and tissue. There are a few different ways to check your body fat percentage and the tests are normally done at a gym or at your doctor's office. Here are some different methods of checking body fat percentage.
- The skin fold test. This is the most common way to check body fat percentage. Personal trainers use special calipers to pinch and measure skin folds from different parts of your body, where fat tends to accumulate. For men the most common sites are under your chest, on your thigh, and on your stomach. This method is not 100 percent accurate and is best used to measure progress over time. However, many health clubs offer this service free of charge if you are a member.
- Bioelectrical Impedance Test. A technician attaches electrodes to your hands and feet and measures current resistance throughout your body. Fat does not let electricity pass though it efficiently, so the more fat you have, the more time it will take. The accuracy of this test largely depends on the participant. For example you cannot eat or drink anything four hours before the test, and you cannot exercise for twelve hours before the test. And If you are extremely overweight or extremely underweight, the test may be less accurate for you.
- Hydrostatic Weighing. In order to check your body fat percentage using this method, you have to sit on a scale inside a tank of water and blow out as much air as you can. The idea here is that the more fat you have, the more you will float. This test is approximately 97 percent accurate and the most reliable. The downside to this test is that is can be very time consuming and it can cost upwards for $50 per session. This test is performed in university research laboratories.

Artist: | Heart-Set Self-Destruct |
Album: | Of Nightmares |
Title: | Monster |
Year: | 2011 |
Genres: | Rock / Pop / Metal |
About the artist
Since their formation during the spring of 2005, Heart-Set Self-Destruct has become a staple in the Chicago Hard Rock scene. Melodic lead vocals combined with elements of punk and metal influence the band's heavy driven sound.
After playing several successful gigs in Chicago at the Double Door, Subterranean, and the Beat Kitchen, the band headed into the studio at the end of 2006 to record their debut album "Victims Like Me" with Producer Dan Malsch (Framing Hanley, Tantric) at the Soundmine Recording Studio in East Stroudsburg, PA.
"Victims" was released on May 12th, 2007 and would later prove to be a success for HSSD going on to independently sell over five thousand copies and landing the band several dates on the Vans Warped Tour in 2008, and a management deal with KMA Management (Disturbed, Janus).
Since then the band has played all over the midwest with national acts Powerman 5000, Cold, Red, Saliva, Flyleaf, Framing Hanley, Soil, Evans Blue, Story of the Year, The Veer Union, My Darkest Days, Taproot, Flaw, The Exies, Karnivool, Trust Company, Hurt, Art of Dying, New Medicine, Seasons After, Otep, Janus, Pop Evil and more. While touring the midwest regionally, the band was still able to maintain a presence in Chicago playing to packed houses with regular appearances at the Cubby Bear, Metro, House of Blues and the Beat Kitchen.
During the summer and fall of 2010 the band recorded fifteen songs for a follow-up full-length record to "Victims Like Me". The new record "Of Nightmares" was released on August 23, 2011 via producer Dan Malsch's label Soundmine Musicworks. The first single "Monster" hits radio spring 2011 via radio promotion company New Ocean Media. "Monster" hit #1 on Music Choice Rock Channel the week of September 14th, 2011. In May of 2011, working with manager David Karon of Helvet Collective, HSSD booked their first national tour with music industry veterans Nonpoint. In July-August of 2011, HSSD opened the Under the Skin of Angels (U.S.A.) 2011 Tour featuring co-headlining acts Filter and Saliva. Working with Ghost Rocket Management in June-July 2012, HSSD landed an international tour on the Beyond Hell/Above Heaven North American 2012 Tour featuring Volbeat, Hellyeah, and Iced Earth. In October 2012, HSSD is booked to tour Canada with Zakk Wylde's (Ozzy Osbourne) Black Label Society and Pop Evil. Since then, the band has landed a Kush Kills clothing endorsement and an exclusive booking deal with 3Thirteen Entertainment Group. The four piece plans to tour heavily in 2012, release their second single "Collapse" from radio promotion guru John Kuliak (Nickelback, Slipknot), and to record an EP in 2013 with producer Brian Virtue (Chevelle, 30 Seconds to Mars).
With a massive buzz following their recent success, Heart-Set Self-Destruct looks to bring their intense energy driven show to the world.
I got a catacomb of secrets that would break your heart
I got a grave to dig with your name on it while you watch
I've given up on the sunshine
Can't avoid the rain
When did I become this monster that lives for this pain
Sleeping pills can't offer what you want
I'm living under water but I cannot drown
I cannot swim to save myself
I'm drifting off
I'm sleeping underground now forever in hell
I'm not alone here in the darkness
I'm buried in thoughts
In a dream it was silent when my world fell apart
When the angels come to die here
They'll come to get lost
I'll be staring into your yes while you watch them fall
Sleeping pills can't offer what you want
I'm living under water but I cannot drown
I cannot swim to save myself
I'm drifting off
I'm sleeping underground now forever in hell
And I'm breathing in the water but I cannot drown
When did I become this monster forever in hell
What have I become
I'm living underwater but I cannot drown
I'm living under water but I cannot drown
