For posterity. Open to some flavor variations and fun with food dye, so I included some tips from other recipes and my own experiments. I based the cake part off both a Food Network recipe plus one of my cake recipes. Yields 24 cupcakes, two 9" layer cakes, or one 13 x 9 cake.
My Private Note
Serves: 24
Units: US | Metric
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 3/4 cup casters sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons 1% low-fat milk (approx, see directions)
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened (1 stick, add 1/2 tsp salt if using unsalted)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar (approx, see directions)
- 1/4 cup 1% low-fat milk (approx, see directions, half & half works great too)
- 1Cream the butter, applesauce, and sugar together with an electric mixer. (Note that you can still use a whole stick of butter for a richer flavor and lighter texture but I find that the batter is less manageable that way.).
- 2Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- 3Beat in the vanilla.
- 4Beat in the flour and baking powder at the same time.
- 5If the batter is really thick and you're unable to get it into the muffin papers, loosen it with just a little milk, no more than a tablespoon or two. I just eyeball it. Any kind of milk works, 1% is just what I usually have in my house.
- 6Pour this batter into lined muffin tins, filling the cups about halfway; same with the baking pans-- no more than halfway! Or else there'll be spillage. If making cakes with the round or rectangular pans, be sure to grease them with cooking spray first and lightly dust with flour for easy extraction.
- 7For cupcakes, bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes. For round cakes, about 20-25 minutes. Rectangle cake-- 25 minutes. This is what works in my convection oven. Just bake them until lightly golden brown on top.
- 8Let cool for about 15-20 minutes prior to frosting.
- 9FOR RAINBOW CUPCAKES: Divide the batter into separate bowls depending on how many colors you want. Add the food coloring to each bowl, according to the box instructions or your own method. Carefully spoon the different colored batters into the muffin tins, but don't mix. Fill the muffin tins about halfway. They should bake in pretty rainbow colors!
- 10FROSTING: put the butter, salt (if necessary), vanilla, and about 1 cup of confectioners sugar into a deep mixing bowl. Beat them all together with an electric beater or food processor.
- 11Note about the butter- for best results without lumpiness, soften it for at least 1 hour prior to making the frosting.
- 12Add the milk and more confectioners sugar alternately, mix until creamy and spreadable. I just eyeball the two, but 3 cups sounds about right.
- 13If you want to add food coloring to the frosting, follow the directions on the box or use your own method that works. Separate the plain white frosting into different bowls/containers to dye them different colors.

Families celebrate 200 new disability services waivers
POSTED: Monday, June 3, 2013 - 5:14pm
UPDATED: Monday, June 3, 2013 - 6:07pm
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — With budget cuts looming on the horizon, some Louisiana families gained a win. Lawmakers found enough money for New Opportunity Waivers, which provides services to those with developmentally disabled children.
"Oh my God! I was so elated! I jumped for joy," Ursula Brown, the mother of an autistic daughter, said. "I called everybody I knew, and I just hope the numbers keep increasing."
Tiera Brown was diagnosed with autism when she was only 2-years-old. For the past 8 years, the Brown family has been waiting for a New Opportunity Waiver to get help for some of Tiera's everyday needs.
"Tiera has to be supervised at all times," Ursula said. "We could really benefit from that and I could really have some sense of security if she is supervised at all times."
Representatives and Senators were able to find money in the budget for 200 waivers. Originally, there wasn't even room for one.
"I can't think of one person, and I've talked to thousands in this situation, that would ever say, no I don't want those services to keep my child at home. I just want them to go into an institution. I mean we would all rather keep our families intact, and these services provide just that," said Jaime Tindle of Families Helping Families.
Though the Browns aren't sure if Tiara will get one of the NOW waivers, they know they're at least one step closer in their eight year wait.
"We'd love for the opportunity to be given to us to receive services very soon. Not only for my family, but for everybody else in the community as well," shared Brown.
The average wait time for a now waiver is about 10 years. The House still has to agree to this year's budget, which was passed by Senators on Saturday.

The hang gliding crowd attracted a bit of a crowd on Inch Beach in 2006. Well, it was late September and there wasn't that many people on the beach in the first place, so 2 people isn't so bad, eh?
Hunger got the best of us and we watched as a powered plane flew high up in the air. I don't think any of the gliders made it up that day because the winds weren't right.

'Meet the Producer' happy hours at Bastille Café & Bar
Local distillers and distillery owners meet their public at some happy hours at Bastille Café & Bar.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Seattle Happy Hour Map & Guide
Explore our happy hour reviews
Tan Vinh, features reporter and happy hour columnist, has visited some of the hottest happy hours in Seattle. Read recent reviews, see photos and more by exploring our Seattle Times Happy Hour Map.
Know of a good Seattle or Eastside happy hour? Let us know in the comments.
Happy Hour |
Recently, at Bastille Café & Bar, my happy-hour gin cocktail came with the distiller standing in front of me, behind the bar.
The distiller was holding court, talking about juniper notes and laying out samples of all the botanicals in his gin. It was as if I had Googled his gin on my BlackBerry.
It's "Meet the Producer Happy Hour" at this Ballard bar, where a local distiller or distillery owner comes and leads tasting or hands out tasting notes, much like a winemaker.
It's a new world order for craft distilleries since the liquor-privatization law took effect last month. Distillers now hawk their booze with tasting samples and discounted cocktails.
Bastille has even built an event around it during happy hour, featuring cocktails made from a local spirit and allowing the distillers to mingle with patrons.
On July 16, Bellevue-based Novo Fogo will be featured, with local bartender Jay Kuehner making discounted cocktails with the South American spirit cachaças during happy hour.
Pacific Distillery will do the same Aug. 13. This Woodinville-based distillery makes one of the best gins in the West Coast and one of the best absinthes in the country. Patrons can sample both or order $8 cocktails made from these spirits.
Held at least twice a month, the "Meet the Producer Happy Hour" runs like any other happy hour, only patrons get to pepper the distiller with questions such as, "What's the difference between vodka and gin?"
The nibbles are reasonably priced, from a trio of buttery cream puffs stuffed with beef cheek ($5) to some interesting tartines, such as toasts done banh-mi style ($2). Bar man Erik Carlson, who put Moshi Moshi on the map as one of the city's best cocktail programs, now runs the front and back bar at Bastille.
Bastille Café & Bar, 5307 Ballard Ave. N.W., offers happy hour daily at 4:30-6 p.m. and 10 p.m.-12 a.m. on Sunday through Thursday (206-453-5014 or bastilleseattle.com).

LPP+ Residency
Since 2004, Little Paper Planes has connected artists and collectors, sharing the excitement of collecting artwork, prints, handmade objects and ephemera. In our ninth year, LPP expanded from an online only organization into a storefront on Valencia Street in San Francisco. With this expansion we widened our programming to include a residency within the new physical location.
The LPP + Residency offers a diverse group of makers – artists, curators, collectives, photographers, writers, musicians, craftspeople – the opportunity to engage to the public in a month-long residency at the shop in San Francisco. Residents receive space to set up a workshop, studio, office or pop-up shop within the Little Paper Planes store for four weeks.
Expanding on our commitment in helping artists, we felt it was important to offer free space to encourage our creative community to try out new projects or just have a place to work. They also have the opportunity to engage with the local community at large since the space is in a high traffic location.
Little Paper Planes provides support to assist with screenings, readings, lectures and workshops during the course of the residency. Open to individuals and groups, the resident(s) will offer at least two public programs or events during the course of their time at LPP+. Each residency culminates with a publication and/or print edition published by LPP as an extension of the residency. SFMOMA's Library and Archives collect all publications.
The application process for 2015 is now closed. The announcement of the 2015 residents will be early January.
LPP+ Residency was a recipient of Round 7 for the Alternative Exposure Grant Program.

Many individuals and corporations are deciding to keep the jets they have rather than upgrade. Others are taking advantage of a weak market to buy used models at bargain prices. For those in either camp, interior refurbishment offers an economical way to extend the life of an aging cabin.
Buyers' Guide » 2009

Despite the recent public flogging of owners of private jets for allegedly engaging in wretched excess, we suspect that cabin completion and refurbishment centers have yet to meet an owner who wants a cabin with Naugahyde seats, paper plates and plastic champagne glasses.

If you crave having worldwide access to e-mail after takeoff, there's really only one choice: Inmarsat's mobile satellite communications services.

Fewer than a dozen airplane manufacturers account for the vast majority of business jets and turboprops being built today. Here are the key facts about each of those manufacturers, including data on their parent companies, their 2008 business aircraft sales and the models they offer.
August 1, 2009
While the recession has certainly affected business jet manufacturers, only one aircraft program has been suspended so far: Cessna's large-cabin Citation Columbus.
August 1, 2009
For years, the goal of cabin electronics manufacturers has been to offer passengers the same level of communication, connectivity and entertainment that they'd enjoy at home or in the office. That goal has never been closer to reality.

This is my first year of tomato gardening. All my plants are in large 25-30 inch containers (At least 20 gallons)
As a newbie, I used ready made mixes - mostly Miracle Gro and some pots with an organic soil mix that I bought at a local nursery. The results are okay but nowhere near the production I've seen people talk about here. I'm ready to plant some tomatoes for Fall, but this time I'd like to ensure that my potting mix has all necessary ingredients. I have big bags of Sphagnum Peat Moss, Perlite, Mushroom Compost and sand. What other ingredients should I consider? Someone told me that I may need to use some dolomitic lime to balance off the acidity of the peat. Any suggestions? Thanks |

Visit the Container Gardening section. That's what it is all about. Not that I always agree with the suggestions, but they seem to work for most people. I use a mixture of very silty dirt, used potting mix (grew seedlings in it), and compost along with a small amount of green and brown leaves. I also bury my containers which keep the mix from drying as quickly. YMMV, Mike |

This is my recipe: (works for peppers too) one shovel full each: two handfulls of ironite Of course, you need to ramp up the recipe for many plants. For containers, I would add another shovel or two of perlite (or vermiculite). I mix this in a kiddie pool. |

If you are anything like me, then most of your skateboarding knowledge comes from the Tony Hawk: Pro Skater videogame series. Who knew the famous skater had stirred up some controversy as an initial outcast? Exploring that and more director Stacy Peralta returns to Sundance with a new documentary titled Bones Brigade, after the famous troupe of skaters. Following up the much-praised Dogtown and Z-Boys, this looks to be just an engaging and informative. Check out a trailer below via THR for the film that also features Steve Caballero, Tommy Guerrero, Mike McGill, Lance Mountain and Rodney Mullen.
Today skateboarding is omnipresent. Take a walk down any street in any town, and you are destined to see someone riding a skateboard. Well, it wasn't always like that. In the early '80s, skateboarding was fading away until Stacy Peralta brought a profoundly talented group of outsiders together and dubbed them the Bones Brigade. This documentary chronicles their epic rise, using awesome archival footage and moving first-person accounts from Brigade members Steve Caballero, Tommy Guerrero, Tony Hawk, Mike McGill, Lance Mountain, and Rodney Mullen, among others. Through passion, drive, creativity, and a surprising sense of teamwork, they revitalized the sport and influenced generations to come.

Our man in the East reveals Japanese critics' responses to two blockbuster releases in this week's Something about Japan.
This week we're tackling Japan's take on the genre that's come to define this console generation, in the west at least: the military FPS. Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Medal of Honor: Warfighter are both out now in Japan, and we'll be investigating their critical and commercial results. We'll also take a glimpse at Platinum's uncompromising attitude to working in the Japanese game industry as we listen to what the Bayonetta studio has to say about working with Kojima Productions on Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
As we sit on the outer edge of a stark white preview room somewhere within Kojima Productions' Tokyo Midtown office and play Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Raiden doesn't seem like much of a problem. He's lithe and responsive in his movements; he's stylish and deadly in his attacks. But Raiden is a problem – or at least he has been.

Heavy security in Guyana after unusual U.S. warning
Georgetown, Guyana • International flights are departing from Guyana under heavier than normal security following an unusual threat warning from the U.S.
Police and soldiers joined regular airport security at the main international airport in the South American country. Transportation Minister Robeson Benn says authorities are conducting 100 percent security checks on passengers and luggage.
The first of three Caribbean Airlines flights departed for the U.S. without incident Monday.
The U.S. Embassy said on its website Sunday it had received "unconfirmed threat information" relating to Caribbean Airlines flights bound for the U.S. It advised U.S. citizens to make alternate travel arrangements through Wednesday.
Guyana is hosting international visitors this week for an Islamic conference, but Ben said he did not know if there was a connection to the warning. The embassy declined comment.

Instead of sizeable, multibillion-dollar deals, the industry may see more transactions such as NRDC's recent majority stake in Peter Som. But don't hold your breath waiting for deals to happen — investors eyeing this segment are cautious.
Joey Gabbay, president of private equity fund Bluestar Alliance, said it is important for him to be at the shows. Gabbay established the Bluestar Alliance fund in January with Ralph Gindi for the purpose of acquiring brands. Bluestar also owns Wellington Capital Group, of which Gabbay is president. Wellington last year bought women's sportswear brand Harvé Benard.
Gabbay said he attends the New York shows, but is not necessarily there prospecting for future acquisitions. "We look for design direction and can get ideas from the shows," Gindi said.
Bluestar Alliance's most recent acquisition was men's wear designer Ron Chereskin Studio Inc. for an undisclosed sum. Bluestar is said to be in talks to buy two other brands, a men's wear label and one that does both women's and men's wear.
Regarding the criteria that the private equity investors have for fashion firms, William Susman, chief operating officer of Financo Inc., said it is broad. "Number one is that the [target] must have substantial revenue and volumes that have grown to a solid level and are trending upwards," Susman explained. "They also need a good infrastructure and support staff behind their designers, and good distribution behind the brand."
Susman quickly added it doesn't matter what size the company is, but it has to be profitable. Susman said companies are simply looking for ways to better differentiate themselves in a crowded market.
"There is always the need for good design," Susman said, "but this is the first time in a long time that big retailers are valuing good design."
Traub and Magnusdottir said TSM expects an investment range of between $5 million and $20 million in companies that are either profitable or break even, and with minimum revenues of $5 million. The firm will raise capital from silent investors, from family funds to private banks, on a deal-by-deal basis.
"Over the next three years, we are looking to invest in five to 10 really good brands," Magnusdottir said.

This concrete box is in the back yard. Its about 60" x 16" with two lift-off covers that are sealed with tar. Don't know how deep it is. The side close to the camera looks like some of it was cut or busted off. The house was built in 1974 and enlarged in '86 but this looks more old fashioned than '70s. I want to break it up and fill it in but don;t want any surprises. |

It may be a distribution box for a leaching field but it's strange that it is so exposed. |
Maybe a distribution box, but septic tanks are much larger than "about 60" x 16"" unless all you have a VERY small house (like one bedroom that sleeps one person). It may be the top of a larger tank though. You need to probe around and see if it is larger under the earth. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The Peace Jirga is June 2-4
ANALYSIS-U.S. sees Afghan 'jirga' as boost to Karzai
28 May 2010 12:00:28 GMT
Source: Reuters
* Jirga seen as political event to boost Karzai * U.S. pushes Karzai not
to sway on red lines * Battlefield momentum sought before reconciliation
drive By Sue Pleming WASHINGTON, May 28 (Reuters) - The United States
wants next week's peace "jirga" to boost Afghan President Hamid Karzai's
credibility but is counting on him not making major overtures to the
Taliban until momentum has shifted on the battlefield. "What we hope is
that this process will help demonstrate Karzai as a true national leader,"
said a senior Obama administration official of next week's jirga, a
traditional gathering of Afghan elders and notables to discuss prospects
for peace in the nine-year war. "This is really just the beginning of an
important process and the Afghan government will be seeking some consensus
on how to proceed," added the official, who declined to be named.
Washington does not want to be seen as interfering in what it says must be
an Afghan-led process. Despite the hands-off appearance, U.S. officials
said Karzai was pressed hard during his fence-building trip to Washington
this month to make clear his intentions for the June 2-4 jirga. Although
the Taliban themselves are not invited, there are likely to be Taliban
sympathizers among the thousands of tribal and district chiefs who will
attend. Washington is expected to have observers at the meeting. With U.S.
military action heating up in the southern Kandahar region, Washington
does not want Karzai to cede to what it sees as unpalatable concessions to
Taliban leaders. "The red lines here are very clear," said the senior
official, reiterating that only those who renounce violence and ties to al
Qaeda, and who abide by the Afghan constitution -- including women's
rights -- would be acceptable. In other words, the U.S. is not counting on
the jirga to make major breakthroughs. It will not be a Dayton-style peace
initiative -- the Bosnian peace accord brokered in 1995 by Richard
Holbrooke, the senior U.S. diplomat now in charge of the Afghanistan and
Pakistan brief. DELICATE BALANCE The United States is playing a delicate
game in the run-up to the jirga, said Afghanistan expert Bruce Riedel. It
has given Karzai the green light to go ahead on peace moves but does not
want anything substantial to occur until U.S. forces have the upper hand
in upcoming battles in Kandahar. "We understand that it is better for
Karzai to be seen as flexible rather than inflexible," said Riedel, a
former CIA analyst now with the Brookings Institution. "So the onus of
responsibility for scuttling any political process will be on the Taliban
and not due to Karzai." One danger, said Afghanistan expert Ashley Tellis,
was that the "wrong" people could dominate jirga discussions and, for
example, refuse to sign onto any plan unless foreign forces depart -- a
demand the Taliban has made in the past. "If you get the jirga discussions
dominated by these themes, then the whole thing could boomerang," said
Tellis of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "They (the Obama
administration) are counting on the fact that the logic of the situation
will produce a non-event." FOOT SOLDIERS The U.S. push so far has been to
encourage Karzai to put his efforts into re-integrating foot-soldiers of
the Taliban and leave senior leaders for later. Pakistan and other
regional players will also likely play a role in reconciliation talks.
What role the United States could play in any future negotiations is also
up for grabs, with many experts suggesting Washington would be a poor
choice to mediate because of its obvious vested interests in the war. "I
think we are too party to the conflict. The prime objective is to get us
out of Afghanistan," said James Dobbins of the Rand Corporation. He said
it was prudent for Washington to lower expectations for the jirga, but
waiting for battlefield momentum to shift before serious talks could begin
might be unrealistic. "The problem with that is that the time may never
come. And so one may have to be satisfied in a situation in which their
momentum has been blunted and not replaced by momentum on our side," said
Dobbins, the U.S. special envoy for Afghanistan in 2001 and 2002."

22. After sudsing up your face, be sure to wash all those suds away. Left behind, cleanser irritates your skin.
23. To ease the ouch of tweezing, dab teething gel on your brow area with a cotton-swab before you pluck.
24. Lots of beauty products try to imitate the benefits fruits give your skin. But why not just go to the source? Next time mom buys a fresh pineapple or papaya, massage your face with the inside of the fruit skin--it acts as a natural exfoliator!
25. Sunscreen's not just for summer--give your skin a daily dose of at least SPF 15.
26. There is a difference! Use a beauty bar--never, ever regular soap--on your face. Try Dove -- it works really well and is VERY economical.
27. Plain yogurt makes for a great face mask--it sucks up dirt and extra oil.
28. Don't forget to moisturize your legs! They get dryer than the rest of your bod 'cause the skin is thicker and has fewer oil glands. Best time: Within 3 minutes of getting out of the shower.
29. To prevent little bumps after plucking your brows, wipe the area with astringent or witch hazel.
30. Don't stress about breakouts! Anxiety, along with heredity and hormones, can cause skin to freak out. Chill--and maybe your skin will too.

The Federal Reserve extended the comment period on a proposed rule to implement "enhanced prudential standards and early remediation requirements" under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
The Fed extended the comment period to April 30 from March 31, according to a Fed statement today in Washington.
The proposed rule, published in January, focuses on capital, liquidity, single counterparty credit limits, stress testing, risk management and early remediation requirements.
The Fed said it extended the comment period to "allow interested persons more time to analyze the issues and prepare their comments."

A decapitated head and liquor may be an odd combination, but the Zombie Glass Decanter manages to merge the two together for undead fanatics and alcohol connoisseurs.
The piece is shaped in the form of a human skull that has clearly seen better days before the apocalypse. While the brains, rotted teeth and sagged skin are clearly visible, the vessel's purpose is to hold fine wine and whiskey, so there's a bit of class to this decapitation. The decanter will hold 27 ounces of alcohol and comes with a cork stopper to keep the booze fresh.

Defensive tackle Elliot Porter, the LSU signee who is exploring other options after being asked to grayshirt, did not receive a scholarship offer during a visit to Eugene earlier this week, according to DuckTerritory.com.
Porter toured the campus and met with UO coach Chip Kelly, but is likely headed to Texas A&M or Kentucky, according to the Duckterritory guys. They speculate that Porter's knee, which required surgery "a few months ago," might have been a factor in the decision by the Ducks not to offer him a scholarship.

So here is the scenario. I am finishing my basement and we have our main HVAC trunk line running right down the middle of the house along side the steel support beam. It spans just about 6 feet. I need to build a soffit around it and am kind of stuck on what I should do. I am really wanting to be able to run the bottom 2x4's on their side to maximize headroom but the span seems pretty far for this application. There is plenty of spac about 2 feet in on on side to add some 2x4 for support, so really the longest span would be about 4 feet. Thoughts?? One thing to keep in mind is I do have a bedrrom foor framed in under the ducts and only have about 2.5 inches from the bottom of the trunk line to the inside of the top door plate. You think I could get by running the 2x4's on their sides? What if I added a layer of 1/2 inch osb between the framing and drywall? |

Built a 2x2 "ladder", attach it to the joists, and then run 2x2 or 2x4 to span between the 'ladders'. Otherwise, a picture would help. |
I have another picture coming. I really just need to know if I would be fine spanning the width with 2x4's laying flat, or if I need them standing on edge for support? In order to not have to worry about a retrofit for the bedroom door, I really need them flat, but don't want to risk sagging in the future. |
- Posted by Geoffrey_B (My Page) on Tue, Feb 4, 14 at 13:45
My thought is you should build 3 2x2 ladders. One to the right of the ductwork, one ito the left - between the duct and the pipes, and one left of the I beam. That will give you a support sorta in the middle - then a 2 x 4 laid flat would not sag. I cut all the 'rungs' on the table saw at once - with the same rip fence setting. Then screwd them together. Just make sure the rungs don't fall on a joist so that it would interfere with attaching it to the joist. Use a 2x4 16" OC - and attact the drywall. |
- Posted by Renovator8 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 8, 14 at 17:21
If the framing is only supporting 1/2" drywall over a 4 ft span, 2x4's turned flat should be more than strong enough. |

Voters apprehensive about names being deleted from list all over again
A photocopy of her husband S. Yaseen's old voters' identity card is all that Meher Taj (35) has to prove that the family are voters. Ms. Taj, who along with her family relocated from Shampura in Kadugondanahalli ward to Chamundinagar in Manorayanapalya ward in 2009, applied for the voters' card eight months ago. They are still waiting.
"Although we had voted in the 2008 Assembly elections in Shampura, we could not vote in the subsequent corporation [Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagar Palike] elections despite our names figuring in the list. We were told that was because the list did not have our photos. We don't know whether we will be allowed to vote in the coming elections."
There are many like Ms. Taj in the area who are unsure whether they can vote this time round. Gulnaz Begum and her husband Mohammed Suhail Ibrahim, who moved from Dinnur to Chamundinagar two years ago, got their names deleted from the Dinnur list and applied for new cards in Chamundinagar. "Although the list in the councillor's office as our names, we have not got the cards," Ms. Begum said.
These voters are from the same area in Hebbal Assembly Constituency where hundreds lost their right to vote despite having voters' identity cards. The Hindu, which had reported this lapse soon after the elections in May 2008, revisited the area and found that most voters, who had applied for new cards, were still waiting.
During the 2008 Assembly elections, hundreds of voters, who had photo ID cards and had voted in the previous elections, were unable to vote as their names were stamped "deleted" or had been left out of the final voters' list. Almost every second house in Chamundinagar, Kanakanagar, and Bhuvaneshwarinagar had at least two persons who had ID cards but could not vote. The situation does not seem much altered now. A visit to one of the Aadhar card centres located in Vasanthappa Block on CBI Road in Ganganagar proved this. "We are sending back nearly 15 persons — who come to get Aadhar card — as they don't have voter ID cards," said an official at the centre.
Mohammed Yunus, a resident of the area, claimed that nearly 20,000 names had gone missing from the voters' list during the 2008 Assembly elections.

The Palace of Auburn Hills
Attendance: 16,132
Auburn Hills, MI (Sports Network) - Tony Parker led a balanced attack with 19 points and seven assists, and DeJuan Blair finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds, as the San Antonio Spurs outlasted the Detroit Pistons, 100-89, at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
Manu Ginobili went for 13 points, six assists and five boards, while Richard Jefferson made 3-of-5 from three-point range and ended with 11 points for San Antonio, which has won three straight and 14 of 16 overall.
The Spurs, who also got 10 points and 10 rebounds from Tim Duncan, are now 3-1 on their nine-game "Rodeo Road Trip" and improved to an NBA-best 43-8 this season.
"We played better in the second half, and much better on defense in particular," said Parker.
Will Bynum went for a team-best 21 points off the bench for the Pistons, who had a brief two-game winning streak snapped and have dropped five of their last seven. Greg Monroe turned in a double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds in defeat.
Parker scored 11 points in the opening quarter to help the Spurs grab a slim 26-25 lead after 12 minutes of action and things stayed close throughout the second.
Parker's runner with 45.8 seconds left before the half gave San Antonio a 52-48 edge, but Tayshaun Prince hit a three-pointer to get the Pistons within one heading into the break.
The back-and-forth battle continued in the third as neither side was able to go in front by more than three until the late stages of the period.
Ahead by one, Ginobili hit a jumper and Blair followed with a pair of makes to give San Antonio a 66-59 lead with 2:42 left, but Rodney Stuckey accounted for five points during a 7-0 run to even things with 42 seconds to go.
However, Gary Neal drained a triple and a driving layup by George Hill had the Spurs up 71-66 after three.
San Antonio started finding the range from long distance in the fourth, as Ginobili made a pair of threes sandwiched around a Matt Bonner trifecta as part of a 9-2 run that extended the visitors lead to 89-80 with 4:44 to go.
"They made several big three-pointers and we needed to shrink the floor, but at the same time, you've got to give them credit -- they were knocking down those shots," said Pistons coach John Kuester.
Detroit was only able to get as close as six in the remaining time on the clock.

Fantasia's troubles just keep getting worse. God knows that lately she's been called a host of improper names..but now in legal circles she's bears the demeaning title of "Jumpoff". For all of yall, who don't know what the "Jumpoff" is, it is the "other woman or man", the "ho that stole my husband", "the "dirty dog" that cheated on me and his 4 kids". Now, it's Fantasia Barrino; "The Jumpoff" Way to go, Fantasia!
Fantasia, why could you have not just been satisfied with being, the illiterate girl who struggled to read the cue cards and lyrics on American Idol and then won? You couldn't have just been the Grammy nominated teenage welfare mother, and domestic abuse survivor? You couldn't have just been the only American Idol winner who captivated a nation with an autobiographical Lifetime TV-movie, "The Fantasia Barrino story, Life is not a Fairytale" that more than 9 million people watched? Were you not amazed at your determination on finally receiving your GED? at the ripe age of 26? How about overcoming that bankruptcy scandal? Your daddy suing you for $10 million? Oh, I can't leave out the Broadway play "The Color Purple" that you almost F-d up; but managed to pull that one together too. Also, your new album that's releasing in a couple of weeks.
I'm sure there are many people like myself who are just shaking their heads in disbelief and shame. We are wondering why would you overcome so much just to lose it all?
Publicly humiliating yourself with a married man, (you even got his name tattooed on your body), an unfortunate suicide attempt, and now, this man's wife; Paula Cook, claims to have a sex tape that is infinite proof of the affair; (as if she really needed any more confirmation) but she is going to use it as evidence in her lawsuit against you, that is said to be worth $60 million. But, the most brainless, retarded, and idiotic piece to this broken puzzle is…. Fantasia (YOU) live in North Carolina!!!
There are only 7 states that have something called The "ANTI-JUMPOFF law", legally called "Criminal Conversion" and wouldn't you know it…the proud state of North Carolina is one of them. As well as, Illinois, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Mexico, South Dakota and Utah.
Why Anti-JumpOff law is so EFFECTIVE. Unlike the traditional "Alienation Of Affection" law, a jumpoff has virtually NO DEFENSE to a lawsuit brought under the ANTI-JUMPOFF law. For example, the jumpoff CAN NOT claim that they didn't know the other person was married, or that the married man WAS SEPARATED from his wife, or that the wife was ALSO BEING UNFAITHFUL.
Under North Carolina's law, if the wife can prove that she was VALIDLY married and that her husband had SEX with his jumpoff, then the jumpoff is AUTOMATICALLY liable for damages.
North Carolina courts have offered BIG JUDGMENTS against jumpoffs. For example, in 2001 a jury awarded a distraught spouse $1.4 MILLION under the anti-jumpoff law. www.balleralert.com
Girl, I just want to know..What kind of love is this? that makes you say F-it!?I love him..I don't care what his wife says, I don't care what my manager says or my publicist, or even the cast of Color Purple.."I love him".
DAMN Fantasia!!! if you really wanted to be with this man, (and so far you have been with him "allegedly" for over a year), why the F didn't you move?! I know you had to know about this law..you've been to court, you got an attorney! Is being a "Jumpoff" really worth it?
I am all so curious as to how you gon' survive this one?
