All is set for the counting of votes for the Pudukottai Assembly constituency by-election on Friday.
The counting of votes will commence at 8 a.m. and all arrangements at the counting centre have been completed. Counting will take place at 10 tables, each monitored by three officials – a monitoring officer, assistant officer and micro-observer. The counting of postal votes will be taken up initially, for which separate officials have been nominated.
The work of fixing video cameras over each of the ten tables to videograph the entire counting process was undertaken on Thursday and completed by afternoon. The Collector V. Kalaiarasi, who is the District Election Officer and S. Muthumari, Returning Officer, inspected the video cameras installation works and gave last minute instructions to the officials.
The final phase of training programme to the counting officials was held at the counting centre at the Government Arts College for Women campus, in the presence of Premsingh Mehra, Election Observer (general). Mrs. Kalaiarasi urged the participants to discharge their duties strictly as per the Election Commission norms, without giving any room for complaints.
K. Nagarajan, District Revenue Officer and Mrs. Muthumari imparted training to them and clarified their doubts. S. Sokkan, PA (general) to the Collectors, A. Karuppiah, assistant returning officer and K. Venkatasubramanian, election tahsildar, were also present on the occasion.
Meanwhile, the police continued have a close vigil in the whole constituency. Police pickets were once again posted across the constituency to monitor the situation and vehicle checks were continued. The BSF and the local police personnel were manning the counting centre round the clock.
The polling took place in the constituency on June 12 and 20 candidates are in the fray.

The .357 is a lot thicker, what in your opinion is the easiest, most comfortable, way to carry? The places in my waist band that feel comfortable, also feel less concealed. Any ideas on a holster or carry option?

The .357 is a lot thicker, what in your opinion is the easiest, most comfortable, way to carry? The places in my waist band that feel comfortable, also feel less concealed. Any ideas on a holster or carry option?
Why type of .357? J-frame? or something bigger?
A lot depends on your body type. Some people like appendix carry, some like 4:00. 4:00 is much more comfortable for me.
I have a jframe, and for OWB with an untucked shirt I have found the Galco concealable belt holster at 4:00 to perform very well. With a boot grip it is very difficult to tell that I am carrying. Only if you know what to look for when I sit down will you know. And that is if you are looking...
For IWB, I use either a DeSantis summer heat or a Galco Royal Guard, but since I've acquired the OWB holster that's what I'm using most often.
I prefer AIWB, myself.
A Mr. Softy, by High Noon Holsters works well for my SP101 and my S&W 442
We need to know what kind of .357 that you're talking about to help out. If it's a lightweight like an LCR you might be able to pocket carry.

A K-frame or similar-sized wheel gun is going to rate low on the comfort scale if carried IWB. That's just an edge automatics are always going to have. But don't let that deter you; with the right cover garments and a holster that keeps the gun tucked in close, you'll conceal that revolver effectively.

Why are you switching?
"Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt" ~ Mark Twain
I know this isn't a thread to bash or question your decision to switch CCWs, but why? I love my SR9c and a hot 9mm is better than a .38+P as far as velocity and energy #s go. Higher bullet weight capability? More information on why you are switching might help us give better recommendations on how you might prefer to carry.
For holsters, I think IWB with a bulky revolver would be uncomfortable but I've never tried it. If it's a little J frame, the pocket or an OWB pancake holster might be the most comfortable choice. A belly band is another choice that might be right for you. Larger framed revolvers just aren't very concealable compared to a compact to sub-compact auto like your SR9c.
Its a Rossi 461. I switched because, I've carried the sr9c for 2 years now and recently I've had to send it back several times because of ftf or fte. I need something reliable. I've practiced at the range 2 months prior to making the switch. I feel very confident with it.
I pocket carry my LCR.
"Was there no end to the conspiracy of irrational prejudice against Red Ryder and his peacemaker?"
Revolvers, more elegant weapons for a more civilized age.
That is about a 26 ounce 6 shooter, so it may not fit in a regular J frame holsters. 26 ounces is about my limit for IWB, and would be a bit heavy for pocket carry. So I would consider a good OWB holster and belt that keeps it press against your body (I have found OWB's that engage the belt, and not paddles, to be more comfortable for me).
I like the choice of the revolver as well. Jams less than a Semi (it's possible, but very unlikely), and you just pull the trigger again if there is a ftf...
I carry my 27 oz. SP101 .357 IWB at 6:00 with an untucked shirt.
I carry my J-Frame in a cross-draw mode as a BUG when needed, it's very comfortable, regular old paddle holster.

Heavy Putter M4-L Lite-Weight 8802 Style Blade Putter Details
This blade design, similar to the classic 8802 style, incorporates the tour proven patented weighting technology in a new LITE-WEIGHT (600gm) category. The M4-L is a toe-droop blade with a half shaft of offset. The putter is constructed of Stainless Steel and has a CNC milled face and is offered in a PVD Black or Satin finish.
Each LITE-WEIGHT uses a proprietary shaft with a 65 gram weight inserted in the butt end of the shaft; this creates the necessary weight to give the golfer more control of the stroke and also produces a balance point 75% higher than conventional putters that eliminates the wristy action in the stroke.
Heavy Putter uses a newly developed Winn Mid-size grip with a V17 Super Soft compound with a cord base material which produces an extremely tacky but firm feel, preferred by better golfers.
- Finish: Black PVD or Satin
- Stock lengths 32" - 36"
- Dexterity: Right Hand Only
- Total Putter Weight = +/- 600 grams
- Head Weight = +/- 375 grams
- Back Weighting System (weight in grip end of shaft) = 65 grams
- Proprietary Steel Shaft
- Custom Winn Mid-Size Grip
- Custom Head Cover included
- Stainless Steel Material
- CNC Milled Face
- Loft = 3° (custom loft adjustments +/- 2 degrees)
- Lie Angle = 70° (custom lie adjustments +/- 2 degrees)

Transcontinental Releases First Quarter Results
March 13, 2012Other Highlights of the Quarter
- On February 16, 2012, Isabelle Marcoux was elected Chair of the Board.
- Capital expenditures decreased, from $21 million to $8 million. Capital expenditures are expected to be $75 million at the most for fiscal 2012.
- Transcontinental Inc. put in place a new $400 million five-year Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility that expires in February 2017. The current credit facility will remain in place until its expiry in September 2012 but has been reduced to $200 million.
- As at January 31, 2012, the adjusted net indebtedness ratio was 1.42x, as compared to 1.44x as at October 31, 2011.
- In February 2012, the federal and provincial tax authorities informed the Corporation that it would receive notices of re-assessment estimated to be $58.0 million, including applicable interest and penalties for its fiscal years 2006 to 2010. The notices of re-assessments relate to deductions on investments in capital assets made by the Corporation, as well as the interprovincial allocation of income. The Corporation recorded a provision of $58.0 million with respect to these matters, of which $16.0 million was included in financial expenses and $42.0 million in income taxes, although it intends to contest these re-assessments. Therefore, the outcome of this dispute could favorably influence the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation.
- Continued to grow our newspaper publishing operations in Quebec by acquiring the print and Internet publishing assets of Courrier Frontenac as well as acquiring the assets of Tout Magazine. We also launched a new community newspaper, the Valleyfield Express.ca. In addition, we are now the sole shareholder of Réseau Sélect, the largest advertising network for the French-language weekly press in Canada.
- Acquired the shares of Les Éditions Caractère, the leader in the supplemental educational publishing market in Quebec and publisher of bestsellers in the trade market.

I have lived in this house for 10 years. The toilet gizmo, in the tanks, do not seem to last very long before leaking and just running. I think I have high water pressure so I got a gauge that goes to 300 psi. Two of my hose bibs have pressure regulators on the end, the one that does not. Says my pressure is 125 psi. I had some one flush a toilet and the pressure went down to 50, until the toilet stopped filling up.
Can I really have pressure that high without the pipes breaking? What should I do? Might the gauge be broken? What made me start thinking my pressure was too high was when one of the toilets that has never been a problem started to just run and run but would stop if the water was turned on in a nearby sink or shower, but would start running again when the sink was turned off. Any hints or ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Don't quite get pressure regulators on hose bibs and a couple other things you said, but...... Assuming you have, indeed, attached somewhere in your line a water-pressure gauge that is reading 125psi, that is too high and you're going to be having problems -- if you haven't had them already. You are right to be concerned about this pressure reading. Your static household water pressure should be, maybe, 60-65 psi. Believe code maximum is something like 80. The fact that your pressure reading is seen to decrease when you flush or open a spigot is typical. Don't worry about that. Assume you have city water supply. If so, I'll further assume there is a pressure-reducing valve attached to that supply-line just downstream of the meter. That PRV has failed and will need to be replaced. This is not complicated but will probably cost a couple hundred dollars to have somebody do it. It will be your responsibility as homeowner to take care of it. However, it should be undertaken at the earliest possible moment -- like today, right now. It is very important. Your household plumbing will not endure 125psi for long without giving you trouble.....likely expensive trouble. If I'm wrong about that and you're on a well, that's a whole different set of considerations. Please advise. |

There is a possibility that the water utility has made a change and your house now has a closed plumbing system where it didn't before. The symptoms would be as you described. Your static pressure of 125 psi is VERY high (80 psi is code limit and 60-65 psi is common) and opening any faucet will drop to dynamic pressure. The remedy would be to install a PRV (pressure reducing valve) at the water service inlet and a Thermal Expansion Tank at the cold inlet to your water heater. If you already had a closed plumbing system then either your PRV has failed or your Thermal Expansion Tank (if you have one and you should) has failed or both have failed. You should get this attended to RIGHT NOW as sustained exposure to extraordinarily high water pressure can damage pipes, fixtures, WHer, and appliances. Don't waste time on the internet... call a plumber. |

II discovered my pressure regulator had failed when I was trying to find out why warm water was leaching across to the cold pipes, and discovered my water pressure was over 130psi. II didn't have any pipe issues but my water heater failed prematurely. This certainly is something you should deal with urgently. If you already have a pressure regulator, with a bit of luck it can be removed and replaced with hand tools, and not soldering if you have copper pipe. I made sure mine had bolt on type fittings. There are also overhaul kits for PRVs but my local box store didn't have one, and it was late Sunday afternoon so I just bought a new regulator - cost me around CDN$65. |

Obviously, it was you who stopped debating and instead pouted.
The simple fact remains that who claims that one cannot speak Catalan freely in Catalonia is lying. And, as a matter of fact, this is not off-topic: I think some here have made the argument that an inward looking society that is creating insecurity for many of its citizens *and* for the outside world is certainly not good for business. Most tellingly, when I addressed Vinarossenc directly about that issue he twice refused to reply in any way, which gives me the feeling to have touched on a sore spot.
I think that independentists, whose main trait is maintaining above mentioned lie and many others, are pretty aware that they risk foreign investment. On-topic, absolutely.
You ran out of reasons to exchange? Anyway, all this is off topic.
So you'll keep lying, quite simply.
Ok then I'm a victimist. Anybody wanting to have a try, can have a try and make up his / her own mind about what is being a victimist on this premises.
Anyway, not an easy affair.
What are you talking about? Catalans can use their language freely. Stating the contrary IS the victimism you do not want to be associated with.
Some catalans would like to have the possibility to speak Catalan in Catalonia as a Castilian can speak Spanish in Castilla.
Some catalans would like to manage the taxes of catalans the same way Germany can manage those of Germans. Maybe with the kind a basque or a Navarro can it would be enough.
Some catalans would like to have Catalonia respected as nation as much as Germany is or England is.
Germany, England, Castilla, just are examples. You can put lots of others.
Not let's start the chorus letany:
Catalans ( those catalans who would like to..) are parochialists, victimists, narrow minded nationalist, fascists, corrupts, cheaters (let's put also some soccer),and all the rest that can be seen around here. Then go for the rest of nations.
Or is it only Catalonia and catalans?
Remember is it not me who compared first around here Catalonia (just a region of Spain) and Germany ( a powerful sate in the world)
At last, the name catalan as a way to define an inhabitant of catalonia was already used by Dante, (Divina Comedia). Not a matter of yesterday.
No offense taken, Milton, but let me mention that not only some Germans complain like that, and that Germany is still the greatest net contributor to the EU. Let me also add that social peace and the construction of a common Europe are other values one can shed money out for.
It is indeed my German experience that has made me react harshly to cataloniadirect, not for the money issue but because of our fascist past. Putting the nation first and above everything is what leads you to do away with civil liberties, Germans have gone down that road 80 years ago, Catalans have just started the journey. Suffice it to open local newspapers, or read the text of a certain Strubell I linked to some days ago. Or cataloniadirect's last comment.
Cataloniadirect, you don't help your case by acting like a reactionary fascist yourself. You sound just like the germans (sorry rainer) who complain that they subsidise europe while all those lazy mediteraneans (yes that includes Catalonia with less than 8 million people) sit around doing nothing. They like you conveniently forget that what germany and Catalonia lose on the fiscal side is more than made up for on the macroeconomic side. What is Catalonia's balance of payments with the rest of Spain, how many jobs and tax revenues come from selling products to customers in the rest of Spain, or is Catalonia a self sufficient entity? There are good reasons to put forward for auto-determination, unfortunately you only put forward bad reasons.
It seems that our friend cataloniadirect has problems with a free press. Whenever there is an article he doesn't agree with he has to liken the media that has published that article to those who beforehand have been identified as the enemy (of the nation). Such a global attempt at discrediting someone doesn't stick. You've got to come up with much more than just proto-fascist propaganda to gain a bit of credibility, at least outside of Catalonia.
It is hard to believe that a magazine like The Economist doesn't check better their sources instead of just regusgitating pamphlets like El Mundo or ABC.
Catalonia currently sustains a fiscal plundering of 10% of its GDP every year, that is 20000 million euros, unmatched in civilised world. This is unsustainable and on top of that Catalonia sustains the most expensive expenses countries provide like healthcare and education, asking Catalonia in hard times to cut down 20% while the Spanish Government, blaming Catalonia for the deficit while the Spanish Congreso approves construction on high speed trains to Extremadura, a region with 1 million people is grotesque.
My apologies. No guerrilla tactics were used by anybody. It was honest hand-to-hand combat, and he or she (most probably she) could not stand the heat and opted out through the silent backdoor, whether or not with her head down is anybody's guess.
unawatuna has gone MIA. That was too much sniping.
Unawatuna, public funding of "national" radio/media is common practice. Would you say that the BBC or Detsche Welle tow the british and german government line because they recieve millions in subsidies from their respective governments. In a world that is dominated by english it is a choice that many governments make.You must also remember that catalan media are in "start up" mode and they are an integral part of the language policy of the catalan state. Democracy means that if the voters/taxpayers do not agree with the govern spending so much on TV and media then they can vote them out. As a bystander all that I can say is that TV3 programing is of much higher quality than many other TV stations in spain and that generaly the level of political debate and culture is much higher in catalonia than in the rest of Spain.
unawatuna, I have not denied anything you said on this topic. I have asked for "data on Generalitat subsidies for the Catalan language edition of La Vanguardia", and you have provided none.
Now you provide press quotes about public media, which is an entirely different subject.
The lack of transparency you decry yourself doesn't seem to keep you from making bold statements on a very slim factual basis, all the while mixing apples and pears for good measure. In other words, if you do not have any data, please say so, and no offense taken.
Rainer Müller
So as to allow you to become better informed as to the scale of the financing of the media, the following links will give some small insight into this misdirection of taxpayers money.
El Govern duplica hasta 2.200 millones el gasto en la CCRTV en cuatro años
Las TV públicas autonómicas perdieron 772 millones en el 2009
Las TV públicas autonómicas perdieron 509 millones de euros en el 2008
As I have said from the outset, there is little transparency, which is why most people remain in ignorance as to the actual funding, direct as well as indirect, that the Generalitat has made and continues to make to ensure that they 'control' the editorial content of Catalan media.
Bon profit! Seems very appropriate.
Dear Rainer Müller
Perhaps you have missed the whole point of the article, and my initial posting. You are also being obtuse in seeking sources and then dismissing anything quoted, and have yet to provide anything, other than your choice words, to refute anything posted.
To restate, the original article and my posting were about the opaque nature of the finances at all levels of government.
With respect to the Generalitat and the subventions to the media, these are made in a direct as well as in-direct manner. Even the direct subsidies are coming from different internal departmental budget's, so are not fully identifiable, while the indirect one's include contracting for full-rate advertising, the programme to promote readership to young reader's through giving free copies of newspapers and so on.
Again, as I wrote previously, there is a mutual interdependence between the Generalitat and the Catalan language prensa, and because of these subsidies, which are a life source currently sustaining the Catalan media, public tax payer money is buying silence from the 'fourth estate'. There is a total lack of critical comment from the very area to which the public look for that very analysis.
My simple argument is that government intervention and subsidies tend to be, almost without exception, market distorting. There are too many examples, and returning to the Generalitat, there has been a lot of taxpayer money wasted in the transport sector - Alguaire Airport near Lleida, or subsidies paid to Ryanair to promote Girona and Reus airports are other examples. Wasted.
The kernel of the topic – that public sector finances, despite the reduction of the headline debt of central Government, remain opaque, stretched and with too much expenditure of tax-payers money going on 'pork barrel projects'. And in these days of austerity, the continued diversion of taxpayer's money to promote the Catalan language is a luxury that should not be continued.
And, with due respect dear Rainer Müller , it is only a fool that would deny what is obvious.
Thank you, unawatuna. You have now come up with a quote from the crème de la crème of Spanish journalism. The mother of independent newsmaking. The best brains in the business.
We're still a wee bit short of the billions you announced, but maybe we cut halfway into the higher numbers when mixing public and private media, as you conveniently do.
Do you actually vote based on such "simple reads", or are they only apt for consumption by us fools who populate comments sections of The Economist's website?
Rainer Müller
As I wrote previously, there are many sources to refer to, and the one that I was listing was a simple read. As is
Los periódicos catalanes recibirán 28 millones en 2010
If you go to the website of the Generalitat, they even have a page for filing claims so as to obtain these payments.
One of the great problems with these market distorting interventions, is that any subsidy of this sort also effects the editorial integrity of the publication. How can there be serious critical analysis of the policies and practices of the Generalitat when the newspapers and publications are financially dependent on the Generalitat. True critical comment is being avoided by being 'bought off', at taxpayers expense.
unawatuna, please understand me correctly, with data I did not mean articles that say very little without referring to unnamed sources, especially when these sources are of the "según informan fuentes rivales de La Vanguardia" kind. That's no data, it's not even journalism. Just gossip.

A Detailed Look at the Nike Sportswear "Polka Dot" Pack by Zack Schlemmer 1 Comments
April 27, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 0
In addition to Liberty London's multicolor approach, Nike Sportswear has offered its own take on a staticky or snowy print this year. It's a style we've seen on popular models like the Roshe Run, Blazer and Free 5.0 V4, and now we see one of the NSW cornerstones join that group. This newest Nike WMNS Air Max 90 blends a teal shade with off-white and black around the snowy mesh areas, a look that rides a soft green Fiberglass midsole. Check them out in more angles after the jump, then find yours available at select retailers like Concepts.

I'm quite fond of the Sephora Rouge formula and this colour didn't disappoint. It's a cool pink/beige formula, quite similair to Chanel Legende, which I also own.
I was super surprized when I realized I still had colour on my lips after half a day out and eating a meal.
This was my third lipstick from this line and I will definitely buy more. Especially for such a great price.

Hey everyone. I recently discovered a really cool website and wanted to let people know about it. Here's the link: The Theme Park Guy
Basically the guy who runs the website goes around the world to different theme parks and reviews them. He has visited all the Disney theme parks and has written some short, but informative reviews about them as well as taking some amazing pictures! I thought this would be something that some of you would like to see, so check it out and enjoy.
Nice photos on the site. Thanks for sharing.

VIDEO: Girl dies from electrocution on Louisiana lake
Posted onA 13-year-old Louisiana girl was killed in an electric-shock accident Sunday afternoon on Lake Bruin that authorities believe occurred when a boat lift malfunctioned.
Sarah Grace Tellifero was the daughter of Jon Tellifero, pastor of First United Methodist Church of West Monroe. She was part of a group of students traveling with the church's youth group on an outing.
Tensas Parish Sheriff Rickey Jones told thenewsstar.com that Tellifero and Christina Elizarov were swimming with a group of teens when they were apparently shocked while attempting to get out of the lake.
Tellifero, was airlifted to Madison Parish Hospital, where she later died. Elizarov remained hospitalized Monday while counselors supported students at Ouachita Parish schools after the accident.
Jones said it appears that the girls were using a ladder on a pontoon boat to climb out of the water. Initial reports indicate that a malfunction in the lift mechanism on the boat resulted in an electric charge to the ladder.
"Evidently the motor shorted or there was a malfunction with the motor and it made the boat a conductor," Jones told MyArkLaMiss.com.
The sheriff's department recently learned that this incident is not the first time swimmers have been shocked at Lake Bruin.
"A camp owner says some of their kids were swimming and they felt a tingling when they jumped in the water. They found out it was a similar situation where there was a problem with the motor of the boat lift," Jones said.
The sheriff said a ground fault interrupter may have kept the swimmer from being shocked.
"It acts as a breaker. It breaks the current so something like this doesn't happen. Hopefully something good will come out of this and it won't be duplicated," Jones said.

Best Summer Travel Deals
By GalTime .com
By Andrea Eldridge for GalTime.com
Summer vacations hold a special appeal to us all, remembering back to the excitement heard by that final bell on the last day of the school year so many years ago. But now that we are grown up and have to do the leg-work to plan the trip, we often find ourselves exhausted before we get out the door.

I remember him every day of my life. I especially remember him this time of the month because Abe Rosenthal died in May. I miss him deeply – because I'm marking a big birthday today.
Abe Rosenthal — A. M. Rosenthal was his legendary byline — has been gone for only six years, dead at 84. It was he who brought me into a different kind of life, into international journalism. He hired me at the New York Times while I was still at Brandeis University in the United States, a slip of a boy with outsized ambitions that he relentlessly encouraged me to pursue.
Abe appreciated ambition. After all, it was ambition that had driven the Canadian-born Abe from an impoverished childhood in which he suffered from osteomyelitis, a bone-marrow disease in the legs, to the most powerful position in global journalism — executive editor of the New York Times. Along the way, he made a name for himself as a foreign correspondent who wrote in an emotional and personal style that ran against the grain of The Times' conventionally colourless prose. He won the Pulitzer Prize for his courageous reporting from Poland when a brutal Communist regime was in power.
But Abe Rosenthal cherished his time in India the most. It had been his first overseas assignment, and it was in the heady years soon after Independence when India seemed destined for great things under the leadership of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. It was, Abe wrote, a time of "high adventure."
By hiring me, Abe offered me a chance to participate in a different sort of high adventure – the newspaper narrative. He sometimes quoted Irwin Shaw, the great novelist: "There is the reward of the storyteller, sitting cross-legged in the bazaar, filling the need of humanity in the humdrum course of the ordinary day for magic and distant wonders, for disguised moralizing that will set everyday transactions into larger perspectives, for the compression of great matters into digestible portions, for the shaping of mysteries into sharply edged and comprehensible symbols. Then there is the private and exquisite reward of escaping from the laws of consistency. Today you are sad and you tell a sad story. Tomorrow you are happy and your tale is a joyful one."
Storyteller in the bazaar — what a compelling phrase, what a compelling image. That's how I saw myself when I first heard those words from Abe Rosenthal, and still do. Abe taught me that it was all right to write personally, and that what mattered truly was that a reporter caught the emotions of those whose stories he told. Everyone had a story to tell, Abe would say, you just had to listen carefully and take it all down. Every little detail counted because a person's story was a mosaic of those details – that a man's story was the sum total of many episodes.
Of all the stories Abe Rosenthal filed as a foreign correspondent, the one that moves me most is a 700-word dispatch after a visit to Auschwitz, the camp in Brzezinka, Poland, where the Nazis murdered thousands of Jews in gas chambers.
Abe wrote, in part: "The most terrible thing of all, somehow, was that at Brzezinka the sun was bright and warm, the rows of graceful poplars were lovely to look upon, and on the grass near the gates children played. It all seemed frighteningly wrong, as in a nightmare, that at Brzezinka the sun should ever shine or that there should be light and greenness and the sound of young laughter. It would be fitting if at Brzezinka the sun never shone and the grass withered, because this is a place of unutterable terror.
"And yet every day, from all over the world, people come to Brzezinka, quite possibly the most grisly tourist center on earth. They come for a variety of reasons — to see if it could really have been true, to remind themselves not to forget, to pay homage to the dead by the simple act of looking upon their place of suffering."
Abe concluded: "And so there is no news to report from Auschwitz. There is merely the compulsion to write something about it, a compulsion that grows out of a restless feeling that to have visited Auschwitz and then turned away without having said or written anything would be a most grievous act of discourtesy to those who died there…There is nothing new to report about Auschwitz. It was a sunny day and the trees were green and at the gates the children played."
I choke every time I read those words. Simple prose, yet so powerful.
So on this big birthday, I ask myself, inevitably: Have I faithfully led the kind of journalistic life that Abe sketched out for me? He taught me, most of all, about the power of words. He taught me the art of storytelling.
Abe Rosenthal gave me the biggest gift I ever received well before this big birthday of mine. That's why I remember him today, and I miss him so very much. I remember him because I have so many more stories to tell in the bazaar, and I have less and less time with every birthday.

Because Hampshire hosts the 'From Abortion Rights to Social Justice' conference I went to a couple of the workshops this weekend. ONe of the ones I went to was called Environmental Activism which 'addresses the environmental justice issues, including how poor communities of color are disproportionately impacted by pollution and toxic wastes, and how people are organizing to fight back to create cleaner and healthier environments.'
The talk consisted of a panel of three different women talking about their various experiences with environmental justice issues and particular groups they had worked with around this. One Hampshire Alum from Alaska talked about the reproductive implications of the pollutants left on abandoned military bases in Alaska, and how they were causing cancer and miscarriages among the people in those areas. We talked about reproductive rights being about a lot more than just the right to birth control or abortion- it includes the right to fertility, to having a safe and healthy world to bring children into, and the sort of community there is for a child to grow up in.
What ws interesting about the Alaskan example was that the speaker pointed out that a lot of environmental activism that takes place in terms of Alaska has to do with the idea of preserving the wilderness. However such a campaign fails to address the very intense environmental struggles of people (largely indigenous and poor) who live in toxic places. Greenpeace was mentioned as a group that used animals in its campaigns while ignoring the issues of Alaskan people. It did seem that Greenpeace was unintentionally failing to work with the people of Alaska on their environmental problems. The speaker mentioned that some groups do not work together because they see themselves as strictly environmental, versus other groups that deal more with social justice issues (which certainly includes environmental). Speciesism is about drawing connections between movements in some ways- that seem like they would help strengthen protection for the people and land in Alaska, together.
While the topic was not directly addressed it became clear that speciesism was integral to environmental issues in Alaska. THe traditional hunting/fishing practices of indigenous people were skimmed over in the discussion. It was pointed out that when groups like Greenpeace come into a situation and begin talking about 'saving the whales' or whatever, they are seen as ignoring the social implications of such a campaign. Dialogue between environmental groups and other groups is necessary to make cohesive claims. This is a point that Carol Adams makes- that social justice issues are interconnected and to strengthen one movement often means needed to join with other movements. Greenpeace is likely doing itself a disservice by not listening to the people who hunt those animals. I say this agreeing that hunting whales and seals etc. is not only environmentally detrimental but extremely cruel. I do not ever believe that tradition or culture justify immoral, unjust, or cruel behavior.
An interesting side part of this discussion was also the mentioning that the people who hunt animals in Alaska are consuming the fatty parts of the animals, which are also where a lot of toxic pollutants like to hang out, and thus eating meat and fish causes more disease and death. I can see this being skewed into an argument that pollution is worse for cutlures heavily dependent on fish and meat, but mostly I see it as another connection between all of thses movements. Could the argument be made with a straightface that eating animals should be avoided because it is going to kill you thanks to the pollutants in it? I don't know that this is a productive path to head down, but I also do not think that the toxic meat issue should be ignored.
SOmething else interesting I noticed during the 'Women in Prisons' workshop was that one young woman who had been incarcerated in Ludlow for 2 years described the way the prisoners were treated as being 'treated like DOGS'. I could not help but thinking how things might be different if it wasn't even okay to treat dogs in such ways- then maybe prisoners would not be allowed to be treated that way either.

I think this will be a new staple for me. I'd been using Anastasia pencils (the wooden one and the Brow Wiz) in Medium Ash and liked them, but couldn't get a good color match and found that they went on heavily no matter what application technique I used. I use this in light brown and it's a much better color match and I like the formula better--it's easier to get a light application and looks more natural. The comb on the end is useless--I wish they'd charge a tad more and put a good spoolie like the one on the Brow Wiz on the end--but overall, I like this pencil much better than Anastasia's.. And it's cheap. Recommended!

This is an okay eyebrow pencil. I still haven't found my HG one, but this will do for now. It goes on natural looking..I only wish it was a bit darker. I like the thinness of the automatic pencil but it was used up sooo quickly I couldn't even believe it. I think it lasted me 2 weeks. Might repurchase only because I don't have anything for my eyebrows right now.
I've been using this pencil for quiet some time now. I particularly love using this pencil on days when I don't have time to fill in my brows with powder (or get that defined brow shape). The best thing about this is the size of the automatic liner (great for small strokes), duo end brush and no sharpening required! I got mine in dark brown and it works perfectly on my very dark brown (blackish) brows. It's great for filling in small areas that brow powders sometimes can't seem to fill in just right - it comes out very natural looking. It's great for the ends (or tails) when filling in my brows and it stays put for hours! I've worn this during rainy weathers and it won't budge as long as you don't accidentally rub it off. Great to have in any makeup bag because it comes with a handy brush on one end :)
P.S. It doesn't have any type of waxy feel to it so topping powder on top doesn't seem to be a problem at all. Do be careful when you first twist it (up), mine doesn't seem to twist back down. I tried pushing it back down and only found myself breaking a piece of it off the tip :( So do be careful.
UPDATE 8/2/10: I've been using this for months now and prefer it over a lot of the drugstore brow pencils I have in my makeup stash. I recently purchased the 'Soft Black' shade which has been a hard to find shade in stores around my area. My brow hairs are a lot longer now (not thicker) and so the soft black works great alone for in a hurry days. Be careful applying powder over the soft black as it can come off to strong and turn black. I use a dusting of dark brown shade over the soft black. I love both shades either way! Fantastic brow pencil!

I've always been a fan of Maybelline. I decided to try this brow pencil because I didn't feel like spending ANOTHER $14.00 at MAC for their brow pencil in Spiked, I needed something new!
What I loved about this pencil is...everything! The shade wasn't too red or too brown like most of their brow pencils are, it glides on really well. The finish is really nice. Despite the pencil itself being a little thinner than the retractable MAC has, this one actually gave my brows a more precise look.
The only downside is that there is not enough product in the tube, so when I run out, I will have to buy two at a time. Other than that, I will repurchase this! :D
***Update 12/13/13***
Fast forward a few years later and I have to say I've developed a love/dislike relationship with this product. Since I am living a far minimalist-driven life, I don't buy a lot of expensive makeup products anymore, and I've always used this because I can multi-task with it as well. I only used the Dark Brown shade only for my brows, the red-ness still comes through...a bit...but if I subtly define my brows it does not look so bad. AND...I still get compliments as well, so that's cool, did I also mention you TWO or the price of ONE?

I think this is comparable to the anastasia eyebrow pencils. I used to use anastasia's medium ash, and with this, I use dark blonde (which is less ashy, more warm). The color goes on very subtle, so you don't have to worry about having akward, too dark eyebrows. I like the comb at the end more than the bristle type b/c it's easier to clean.

I have purchased much more expensive brow pencils before from the makeup counter. In desperation after I had my hair dyed dark, I picked this up in target for "the meantime" until I made it to the department store. I was so impressed, it made me rethink all my expensive makeup purchases! It went on very smoothly, and had a little comb on one end (something my clinique definer doesn't have!). I bought a 2nd one before the first ran out because I liked it so much I was worried what I would do without one around!
Only downside is I wish there were more colors to chose from.
I had my brows tinted recently so no longer need it except maybe between tint treatments. Seriously the best brow definer I've ever bought.

So there's been a lot of comparison to the eyebrow crayons by MAC... They both don't need sharpening because you just twist them up, and they are both the thin-lead type. The colors are pretty close too. I use Spiked regularly and the dark brown seems to be a good match. Anyway, the reason I will continue to purchase MAC is that although this appears to be a better value, there's actually a lot less product than MAC pencils. These have .001 of product while MAC has .003. But the real kicker is that the product in these pencils is SO soft, I find myself having to twist up the liner 5 or 6 times every application. Needless to say, you BLOW through this product. Would I use it again, sure. The product is very similar to MAC except for the fact that you have to use a lot more to get the same result. If you can't get to a MAC counter, then by all means this will work for you. But if you think you're saving money by buying this, think again. I got this buy one get one free, and I'm still a pencil short of how much comes in one MAC pencil, and I've only paid a few dollars less for something that gets used up much more quickly.

i actually like this better than my MAC pencil in spiked. it goes on much lighter and looks more natural to me. i caught it on sale at Walgreens so i was able to get them 2 for the price of 1 which was great.
I was using the Revlon ColorStay Brow Enhancer, which I liked, except that I find it is too thick to make thin brow filling lines -- when I read the reviews for the Maybelline product, I thought I would try it --- and it is GREAT - very thin so I can fill in small sparse areas and it really does have staying power. The comb on the end isn't useful, but I already have a brow brush. Great product!

Great brow pencil, I'll be sticking with this forever! :-P I have it in a Dark Brown.
Very thin tip, which provides a great brow line and very precise. The only downfall that I heard is that it tends to break easily. Define-A-Brow provides a precise brow, and perfect colour match. It stays on throughout the whole day (I also set it with a brow gel though).
Very cheap! I paid $8 for mine; I used to use Annabelle previously (which does not even measure up to this one!)
Go and buy it! Its a great brow liner, and you wont regret it.. Just don't press too hard or it might break :P

Ok, I will: Wyeast 2575PC Kolsch II An authentic Kolsch strain from one of Germanys leading brewing schools. The rich flavor profile accentuates a soft malt finish. Low or no detectable diacetyl production. Will also ferment well at colder temperatures for fast lager type beers. Attenuation 73-77% Alc. Tolerance 10% Flocculation low Temperature Range 55-70ºF (13-21ºC) Wyeast 2450PC Dennys Favorite 50 A mainstay of one of our local homebrewers, Mr. Denny Conn, this terrific all-round yeast can be used for almost any style beer. It is unique in that it produces a big mouthfeel and helps accentuate the malt, caramel, or fruit character of a beer without being sweet or under-attenuating. A great yeast for extract brewers and for fruit beers. Attenuation 74-76% Alc. Tolerance 10% Flocculation low Temperature Range 60-70ºF (15-21ºC) Wyeast 3763PC Roeselare Ale Blend A blend of lambic cultures including lactic bacteria. Produces beers with a complex, earthy profile and distinct pie cherry sourness from a Brettanomyces culture. Aging for up to 18 months is required for full flavor profile and acidity to develop. Will produce a very dry profile due to super-attenuative nature of mixed cultures. Attenuation 80%+ Alc. Tolerance 11% Flocculation variable Temperature Range 65-85ºF (18-30ºC) I knew Roeselare was coming out again, but "Denny's" CL-50 is a huge suprise. How did I miss this? Homebrewing is such a great community, our yeast suppliers are really tailoring things for us and what we know/discuss, pretty unique. Get those Flanders/Bruins going guys while 3763 lasts!
Why yes, they have:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthre...ighlight=DENNY
This thread blows!
I'm feeling more of a sucking sensation...
Then its gone from blow to suck.
definitely some facedancing going on around here...
Now they just need to get the French Saison strain out.. I really really want that strain. Roeselare strain will be ordered though.

Motion tweens are actually the easiest type of tween to create in Flash. Just remember, the most important thing is that you start with a symbol. So on the Stage here, I have a graphic symbol. Also make sure that symbol is on its own layer and not with any other artwork in another layer. So I have the biker isolated on one layer and if you select it, you will see in the Properties panel that it's an instance of a symbol called biker. If I double-click the biker instance on the Stage, you can enter the Symbol Editing mode and you can see that I have an animation inside here, and the biker is pedaling.
So just note that you can even use the motion tween on a symbol that contains an animation. So let's apply the motion tween on the main timeline. And remember you can return to the main timeline by clicking Scene 1 at the top of the Stage. To apply the motion tween, I can do this either on the object I want to tween or in the timeline. In the timeline, you can just right click your frame where you have a symbol and choose Create Motion Tween. Or you can right an instance on the Stage and choose Create Motion Tween.
Flash automatically creates a tween that lasts one second according to your frame rate. So right now my frame rate is 30 frames per second, so Flash creates a 30-frame animation. Note that the timeline of the background is not extended. So I'll do that right now. Click on frame 30 and press F5. Now, I am actually going to extend this timeline to frame 120. So I click the biker layer at frame 120, press F5 and you do the same thing for the background layer. Now, I'll go to frame 60 by clicking the 60 number.
I am not going to click on the any particular layer here. I am clicking the frame number so the playhead moves to that point, and then I am just going move the biker animation wherever I want and Flash will create that motion tween. So I am going to click-and-drag and I am going to hold the Shift key so that Flash will constrain the position of the instance horizontally as I drag. That way I can drag the instance in a straight line. Flash then creates that property keyframe on frame 60, and I now have a working motion tween.
So let's preview this movie in the Flash Player to see what it looks like. Here the keyboard shortcut is Command+Return or Ctrl+Enter on the PC. And there is the motion tween in the Flash Player.

2010 Oscars Best Dressed
2010 Oscars: Best Dressed
It's that time of the night, Fab friends — time to crown our leading fashion lady of the 2010 Oscars. You're looking at this year's contenders. Rachel McAdams, in Elie Saab, brought print to the carpet. Zoe Saldana dared to deliver the drama in Givenchy. Carey Mulligan chose classic with a twist in Prada. Elizabeth Banks looked modern in Versace tulle. And Meryl Streep channeled a chic angel in white Chris March. All gorgeous in their own way, but only one can win the Oscar. You decide!

Voted for Rachel. But being honest, none of the dress impressed me.
Zoe has the worst one. It looks very strange, as if the top and the bottom belong to different gowns. The ruffles on the bottom of the dress look awful either. In addition her leg sticks out of this 'cake' (see other pics). The bodice is 'pasted' with crystals all over which looks cheap and hilarious. 'Mauvais ton', IMHO.

Anna Kendrick's dress was sooo cute and romantic! So much like her personality (well i dont know the woman, i mean the image of her persona). I loved her in Up in the Air.

you know on a regular bases i would agree with #62 i like dramatic dresses but i find my self being pulled to the classic and simple dresses like rachel mcadams she got my vote, because i sort of want actress' to be like the old hollywood actress' of the past.

I thought Vera was the best dressed.
But out of these, Elizabeth. I also loved Cameron Diaz's look.

I am so sick of all these SAFE "pretty pretty" dresses. I want effing FASHION. The reason Diane Kruger is in a league of her own in fashion is because she takes risks and is almost always in something different not to mention she doesn't have a stylist like most of these other women. I garuantee you that no one could of pulled off that chanel haute couture collection dress like she did.

i cannot believe cameron diaz and sandra bullock (liquid gold*) and anna k. aren't here
to tell the truth everyone looked great.:)
i love what meryl is wearing

Rachel and then Elizabeth. Zoe's dress is horrible. I agree with LuciaGC that Kate Winslet's was really nice.

sorry i think zoe saldana's dress is horrific. the best dressed of the night definitely had to be either kate winslet or diane kruger. i wonder why they aren't featured in this poll?

Anna Kendrick or Diane Kruger. Definitely not Zoe Saldana. Of These, I'll have to pick Elizabeth Banks.

Hi all, I normally post on the vegetable forum but this week I bought 2 new rose bushes from Home Depot. One is red called Salsa and the other is orange, in color, with the tag missing.
I scoped out two sites in the back of the house where I thought I would put them. One of the sites is infested with ants. Should I NOT put them there? Or how can I remedy the ant problem? I have a small dog that eats grass back there so I need a safe remedy please. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I hear ants are not coffee lovers. Spread grounds around. I hope there is no actual ants nest in there. If there is, somebody else will give you advice. Good luck! |

Someone told me that Nubians are the most likely breed of goats to get disease... I guess the least disease resistant. I have Nubians and never had a problem....mouthy yes!!!, but healthy. Has anyone heard of this?
My Nubian is mouthy but healthy. I don't know where they got that info as any goat breed can be unthrifty. Its not the breed that causes it, its the management or the lack there of.
I also don't think that is true. You will find disease prone goats in almost every breed. My opinion is that they are more common in herds where the goats have been coddled in the extreme and every single goat is kept alive at all costs, and the weakling bucks are kept for breeding because they are friendly from being bottle fed in the house, so are now the family pet. However, here in the north, I have foudn that Nubians don't do as well. It isn't that they're disease prione, it's that they're a tropical breed adapted for hot weather. The large nose, the ears, these are mechanisms for getting rid of excess heat. In the north, they become avenues for nose colds and frostbite.
When I was in 4-h, I was told that the disease (which they called simply 'abscesses') was mainly found in nubians and only rarely in other breeds. I couldn't believe the misinformation thats floating around out there with goats and that the 4-H group is spreading such information - I told the 4H leaders that the disease is called CL and that it is commonly found in all breeds exposed to it - but since nubians are more common that's why you hear of it being in nubians more often... and the fact that boer herds are meat so they don't care 'as much' as a general rule. None had heard of testing or disease management... UG. But no, no one breed is more susceptible to disease. It's all in the management and husbandry.
I think it mainly depends on how well you take care of them. We have LaManchas and Nubians, and the LaManchas kids seem very sturdy when they hit the ground, but that doesnt necessarily preclude the Nubians overall. Oddly enough our healthiest goat is a little Boer/Pygmy wether who is a companion for our LaMancha buck!!! He is extraordinarily healthy little guy and is very worm resistant etc.
We have: 2 Alpines 3 LaManchas 1 MiniMancha 1 Nubian 1 ND Buckling Very few health problems after I learned good management. Still learning, too. dairygoatinfo.com has the greatest archive of management tips. Yes, I do test for CAE. Yes, I do vaccinate for CDT and staph.
Alice * * * "No great thing is created suddenly." ~Epictitus
Even in the tropics we have our share of problems with the nubians.Nubians do poorly if allowed to stand on ground 24,7,kept on elevated flooring,need more salt intake.Most have horns,is believed the horns also help to disperse heat.True they are a tropical breed but management is the key no matter where one farms this breed. Agriculture supports life & Agribusiness feeds life: Michael
I don't think Nubians are more prone to disease than the other breeds. There is a genetic disease, G8S that is breed specific, but that can be prevented by not breeding two carriers. I've actually had less problems with my Nubies than the other breeds with regards to milk fever. Like others have said, it's more of a management issue. Nubians do best when the herd is mainly Nubian. I have a friend who had problems getting proper weight and growth on her Nubies when they were greatly outnumbered by pushy Alpines. They did better when she penned them seperately.
goatkid, that is funny what you say about "pushy Alpines"!! Our one Alpine doe is very pushy, curious, and the herd leader! And the Alpine wether that is the companion for our Nubian buck is extremely pushy!!! I thought that was just them, and not necessarily a breed characteristic! LOL!
From what I've read over the past two years of goat ownership, Alpines are notorious for their attitudes!
The first year I had goats, I bought 3 Alpine doelings and several Nubians. I put a few bowls in their pen to feed grain. The Alpines would each hog a bowl to themselves and push the other goats away. Nubians, on the other hand, will share a bowl of grain. I sold the Alpines. I used to have an Alpine-Nubian cross doe who was the undisputed herd queen. She was the only Alpine cross, so the Nubies were able to hold their own at feeding time.
The goat in your barn that you love the most and paid the most for will be the one to get sick first ...doesn't matter which breed it is. Most of the above is hogwash. If you buy a good goat disease free , feed it well , vet it well , correct minerals etc you will have a good goat . if you buy a poor auction barn goat feed it well , vet it well ,correct minerals you usually wind up with a sickly auction barn goat.

[QUOTE=Patty0315;3656909]The goat in your barn that you love the most and paid the most for will be the one to get sick first ...doesn't matter which breed it is. So True, unfortunetely.
Since there is more than twice as many boer and nubian and crosses of each, goats in the country than any other breeds, and likely all other breeds combined....perhaps there are more sickly nasty boers and nubians out there because of share numbers of poor managers ??? All of us have visited local farms that of course have nubains that are raised in the most pathetic of conditions, they are still alive. I woud bet the hardiest breeds are true spanish does, who can live through west Texas temps and thrive, successfully nursing kids each year to weaning. As you can tell on this forum and others, most illness and disease doesn't come from the goat it comes from the owner who manages them. Vicki

The least disease resistant goat is the goat which you paid the most for. OR its the FREE goat that FIRST captured your heart and soul and then proceeded to cost you a college tuition in vet fees for various and assundry problems.
