Legalization of Marijuana Act would regulate and tax marijuana like alcohol
PROVIDENCE, RI — A pair of bills, one that would legalize and tax marijuana and one that would reduce possession penalties by decriminalizing marijuana, are both scheduled to receive a hearing by the House Committee on Judiciary at the Statehouse Wednesday afternoon.
The first bill, HB 7092, would decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana in Rhode Island. Under the proposed bill, marijuana would remain illegal, but penalties for possession would be significantly lessened. If passed, Rhode Islanders caught with an ounce or less would pay a $150 dollar fine, but face no jail time.
The second bill, HB 7582, the "Legalization of Marijuana Act," would outright legalize marijuana, regulating it much as the state regulates alcohol. The bill, if passed, would allow anyone 21 years old or older to possess and grow small quantities of marijuana, and would impose a cannabis tax.
Individuals 21 or older would be allowed to grow their own marijuana, but would have to pay a $100 per plant tax by purchasing a state-issued zip tie and affix it to the branch of each plant, or face a civil fine of $500 for one plant or $1,000 for two or three plants — but no possible criminal charges. Growers under 21 years of age could still be charged with a misdemeanor, and would face up to $1,000 in fines and up to 10 days in jail. Licensed caregivers and patients in Rhode Island's medical marijuana program would be exempt from paying the per-plant growing tax.
The bill does place some restrictions on where cannabis can and can not be grown. Marijuana wouldn't be able to be grown "in public view," and if it is grown outdoors, it would have to be in an enclosed, secure area. "Reasonable precautions" would also have to be taken if marijuana was being grown at a home where one or more minors under 21 years old live, to ensure they would not have access to the cannabis.
The Legalization of Marijuana Act would also set the framework for a retail distribution system. Marijuana retailers would have to purchase $5,000 annual licenses and wholesalers would pay a $50-per-ounce excise tax. Wholesale marijuana grows would be allowed in state-regulated, secure facilities, similar to alcohol distribution centers.
The Legalization of Marijuana Act includes provisions that would prohibit driving under the influence of marijuana, as well as possession of marijuana in prisons and schools. Smoking marijuana would also be prohibited in public places, with fines ranging from $250-500, similar to laws regulating consumption of alcohol in public places in the state.
Similar bills were introduced last year but did not receive a vote.

I enjoy schnitzel and have tried many variations of it. The best schnitzel recipe I ever had was made with scallops. That is one reason I like eating schnitzel is you can change it to your tastes and use a lot of different kinds of meat.
Just by using a different meat can completely change the taste of the whole dish. Whenever I make this with scallops, I love to cut up a lemon and drizzle lemon juice over the dish before eating it.
The extra lemon adds a special zest that is very appealing. The lemon wedges also look nice as a garnish on the plate when you are serving it.

[font="Comic Sans MS"][/font]Hi all,
please help, as my 2005 2.0 diesel zetec has developed a few 'issues'
It has developed a 'surge'
It feels like someone is squeezing the fuel pipes, partially starving the fuel supply, then letting go, as the car seems to back off then accelerrate on its own, even on cruise control
also, it smokes (black ish) like a bugger constantly, but emits a larger/thicker puff with the surging, and when accelerrating,
also, i can hear a sort of wind rush when accelerrating, (turbo?)and ive lost about 6 or 7 mpg
are all these related?
she's done 135k, but just had a major service about 4k miles ago (not a ford dealer if it makes a difference)
This is just one of many problems that are now developing, will post about others later
Thanks for your help guys

EL PASO - New science is out on the incidence of breast cancer in the Borderland and it is not all good.
Researcher Rajkumar Lakshmankswamy presented the findings at the Texas Tech Center of Excellence at the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine.
"We are very keenly interested in what's going on in the El Paso community because there seems to be a pretty high concentration of breast cancer and we want to know what's going on. We want to create awareness in the community, what resources are available, what kind of research is being conducted at our institution, the Center of Excellence."
Symposium topics included educating Hispanic woman about genetics and breast cancer and building a breast cancer prevention program.

Hello all. I've been lurking for a while and this is my first post. I'm building a Winchester Mod 70 (stainless barrel)that's going to have a New England Custom Gunworks (NECG) banded front sight like this:NECG Masterpiece Banded Front Ramp using Interchangeable Front Sight .630" Inside Diameter .421" Height Steel in the White - MidwayUSA
I've fit it to the barrel using 5/8" cylinder flex hones from MSC and I'm trying to decide whether I should silver solder it or possibly bond it with a toughened epoxy or retaining compound. NECG says they prefer solder but bonding it with modern adhesives can be done too. What do you guys think?
Looking at the specs, it seems retaining compounds or an epoxy should do the job quite well. I've had several conversations with the techs at Devcon/ITW and they seem to think their Permex #62050 high temp retaining compound or one of their standard Loctite retaining compounds(#609 or #638) would be perfect for this application. I've also considered using one of Devcon's toughened epoxys, but I think they might be spread to thin to properly adhere to the barrel.
I have very limited experience with silver solder. If I decide to silver solder, do I need a larger Oxy/Acetalene rig or could I do this with a small propane hand torch? Any tricks with the stainless barrel?

Austin Lee Bowlin Arrested for Threatening on Twitter to Shoot Up Miami Lakes School
"Making a list and checking it twice. We're about to see who gets shot up real nice," Bowling allegedly tweeted after his principal made an announcement about school safety on Monday.
"Finna shoot up the school this Friday. Prepare yourself," he continued.
"Just cause this school has a 'safety plan' don't mean shit. I would have walked in today with a gun in my bag and shot my whole class. Dead."
"Yeah. Bunch of little kids died. I could care less. And my school announces it like it matters, Safe? I could shoot this school up easily," he concluded.
His Twitter feed also included a picture of the Columbine High School massacre.
"This individual showed a pattern of behavior that would be worrisome to any parents, teacher or community member," Miami-Dade Lt. Rosanna Cordero-Stutz told the Miami Herald.
Bowling has already been released from juvenile detention. No weapons were found at his home. He's been suspended from school, and will likely be expelled.

Robert Aldrich
Thames & Hudson
304 Pages $29.95
Review by Joe Palmer
Cross posted to 365 LGBT
George Santayana once wrote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". Quite dire sounding. If it were left to American conservatives and evangelicals there might not be any substantial LGBT history to forget as all we've been in their sin-centric view is debauched abominations since being scapegoated for Jehovah's destruction of a legendary Sodom and Gomorrah. Robert Aldrich, Professor of European History at the University of Sydney, Australia, who has a special interest in the history of gender and sexuality, has written "Gay Lives". It is the fifth of Aldrich's twelve books to date that enumerate gender and sexuality. Aldrich was editor of"Gay Life and Culture: A World History" which offers a broader, yet detailed scope of the history that once dared not speak its name. With "Gay Lives" Aldrich has chosen to focus on eighty people from diverse times, cultures, and backgrounds whose lives often fell outside the boundaries of contemporary societies. If a "biographical survey from ancient Chinese courtiers to pioneers of gay liberation" seems a bit too scholarly for your reading tastes, with all of the associated negative connotations academia often carries, let me assure you that Aldrich provides fascinating reading on his subjects. Subjects are placed in thematic groups, eg: Ancient Ancestors, Founding Fathers and Mothers, Women Who Loved Women, and Radicals and Activists. A few figures that readers will immediately recognize, such as Oscar Wilde and Harvey Milk are included though Aldrich states in his introduction that the purpose is "not to offer a compendium of the lives of the 'greatest gays'". The stories of people such as the Ladies of Llangollen, Simon Nkoli, Carson McCullers, and Constantine Cavafy, Claude Cahun, and Antonio Rocco may be lesser known or lost to antiquity as are Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum, two Egyptian men who as joint "Overseer[s] of the Manicurists" kept a Pharaoh and his court stylish and were entombed together in preparation for the afterlife. They are all equally interesting when brought to life in Aldrich's accomplished hands. Chapters are short; none longer than five pages. Aldrich's richly detailed, concise writing style lent a "just one more page" reading experience for me from the book's first entry on those mysterious Egyptians to the closing biography on Cuban born author Reinaldo Arenas.
Upon my first cursory look through the book I came across a number of names that I didn't recognize. For example, the Chevalier d'Eon (1728 – 1810), a minor French royal and gender bender who, as a male, received a law degree, wrote volumes on finance, served as a military officer, and a diplomatic attache who spied in London. Rumors that Chevalier was in fact a woman created scandals for the English and French governments until the French government bribed d'Eon with a pension to return to France to live as a woman in exchange for the guarantee of abandoning politics. Chevalier's plan to raise a company of female soldiers to fight in America's War for Independence was refused by Louis XVI, and would later return to England to continue living as a woman. Chevalier claimed to have been born a woman though this was proven biologically untrue upon death though she indeed may have been transgender. Rosa Bonheur was a name I'd encountered in passing during a stale art history lecture years ago that highlighted the painter's accomplishments. Not till reading Aldrich's passage on Bonheur did I know she challenged stereotypes by choosing to wear male clothing and painting subjects traditionally associated at the time with men, or that she lived with Nathalie Micas, a childhood friend, until Micas' death, and lived the rest of her life with American painter Anna Klumpke, whom she made sole beneficiary. Of particular interest to me are the chapters on Lionel Wendt, Sri Lanka's Wilhelm Von Gloeden; Nobuku Yoshiya, one of Japan's pioneers in shōjo shōsetsu (girls fiction), a spiritual forerunner of yuri; Lilly Wust and Felice Schragenheim who enjoyed a passionate and against all odds affair during the height of Nazi Germany before Schragenheim was marched to a concentration camp; Indian painter Bhupen Khakhar for painting mature, nude males; and Tamotsu Yato, a photographer and associate of Yukio Mishima.
Some criticism was made of "Gay Life and Culture", edited by Aldrich, by billing it as a world history when many of its authors' primary focus was on Western cultures. The author addresses this concern by stating an effort was made to include non-Europeans. By my count there are no less than a dozen such entries, more if the stories of people of European descent, like T. E. Lawrence or Lionel Wendt, who were outsiders in other cultures are included. Noticeably absent are accounts of Native American Two Spirits such as We'Wha or Hastiin Klah who each had met a President (We'wha met Grover Cleveland and Klah met FDR), or men and women from other native cultures such as from the Pacific Islands. Likely many reasons to which we're not privy factored into Aldrich's choices. However, this is not so much a criticism on my part as it is a wish to read future accounts of historical forebears written by Aldrich.
A bibliography provides a welcome list of resources for the reader seeking more information on persons piquing individual interests.
The book itself is quite impressive. Debra Morton Hoyt's jacket design is striking. The front cover combines black and white photographs of a stylish Radclyff Hall in profile and Von Gloeden's dreaming Cain with the rainbow band book title sitting between the pair of images. The color strip contrasts with the photographs both visually and temporally to reach backwards through time to embrace and renew the lives and memories of historical LGBT figures. A portrait of Oscar Wilde adorns the back cover. Wilde gazing outward from 121 years ago at the reader or perhaps figuratively backward in time at those who came before him. The signature pages, which have a good weight and matte finish, are bound to the spine to ensure the covers and pages will remain intact and sturdy for many years. Remove the dust jacket and you will find black cloth and an embossed design of a pair of dolphins in yin-yang orientation. A fitting symbol given recent findings suggesting that homosexuality and bisexuality may be a reality for the mammals. Numerous beautifully reproduced illustrations, many full page, with over fifty are in color, evoke the subjects of the various biographies, giving faces to names. Finally, spine lettering is sharp and distinct thanks to silver leafing.
"Gay Lives" reveals that the past was not always as straight laced as many insist on believing and should appeal to the history buff, the gossip oriented (Secrets and scandals and lies! Oh, my!), and the curious minded reader in search of good stories with memorable characters. Truth is often more interesting than fiction.

Federal Aid
By completing the FAFSA, all students are automatically considered for all forms of need based financial aid offered by Lasell College, the federal and state governments. The FAFSA may be filed anytime after January 1st but should be received by Lasell College no later than March 1st for priority consideration.
Federal Grants:
Pell Grants
Pell Grants are offered to undergraduate students who apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, show significant financial need, and whose estimated family contribution or EFC falls within a range determined by the federal government. If a student is eligible for this award, it will appear on the financial award package. For the 2013-14 academic year, the maximum Pell grant is $5645 and the minimum is $400.
SEOG is grant funding provided to the college by the federal government to award to significantly needy undergraduate students. It is a limited pool of funding, and Lasell College usually reserves this funding for the neediest students and those who receive the Pell Grant. If Lasell College determines that a student should receive this grant it will be in the financial aid package.
Federal Direct Loans:
Direct Stafford Loan
Students will also be automatically considered for the Federal Direct Stafford Loan. This loan will always appear on the financial aid package. Students who wish to take advantage of this funding will be required to complete a Master Promissory Note and an entrance interview the first time they borrow through this program. If students do not wish to utilize this funding they should inform the Office of Student Financial Planning in writing that they wish to decline the loan. Please not that if declined this funding will not be replaced with any other financial aid such as grants or scholarships.
Freshman (0 - 29 credits earned) $5500 (maximum $3500 subsidized)
Sophomore (30 - 59 credits earned) $6500 (maximum $4500 subsidized)
Junior (60 - 89 credits earned) $7500 (maximum $5500 subsidized)
Senior (90 and above credits earned) $7500 (maximum $5500 subsidized
Graduate students: To be eligible for a Stafford loan, graduate students must be admitted to one of the degree programs and be taking a minimum of 6 credits per term.
Amounts: $20,500 per academic year including summer. Maximum $8500 subsidized.
Repayment on these loans does not officially begin until 6 months after the student ceases attending college for any reason. Repayment is over a 10 year period and the minimum payment is $50 per month.
Federal Perkins Loan
Some undergraduate students may also be offered the Perkins Loan in their financial aid package. This funding is very limited and is offered to the neediest students. Students must sign a promissory note and perform and entrance interview each year the loan is offered.
Federal College Work Study
This program is funded through the federal government, and the award appears on the financial aid package if a student has financial need for assistance. This funding does NOT credit the student account, so it should not be counted toward paying the bill when trying to determine what the remaining balance due is for any given semester.
The funding is available to students to earn by working a part time job on campus. Jobs can range from working in the Athletic Department with a team to working in the dining hall or in an academic department or administrative office. All jobs that are available are listed on our student intranet under Campus Life and Jobs on Campus.
Students are responsible for researching the jobs and securing employment. Lasell College does not place students in work study positions, and we cannot guarantee that every student who receives an offer of Federal Work Study in their financial aid package will find a job on campus. It is the students' responsibility to research and pursue the available jobs on campus.
Once employed students are paid a bi-weekly paycheck for the time they worked. This money does not go toward paying the bill; it is for use by the student for personal and miscellaneous expenses. If a student does not work on campus, he or she will not earn any money from this program. Students are not required to work on campus, but this funding will not be replaced by any other funding if declined or simply not used.
Note: Lasell College currently does not participate in any off-campus work study contracts. All work study funds are to be earned by working on campus. It is not available to be used for internship work or at off campus job sites.

Tableland in the U.S. that forms the western section of the Appalachian Mountains and a part of the Allegheny Plateau. It extends southwest for 450 mi (725 km) from southern West Virginia to northeastern Alabama, averages 50 mi (80 km) in width, and is 2,000–4,145 ft (600–1,263 m) high. The roughest and highest portion is a narrow ridge about 140 mi (225 km) long that forms its eastern margin in eastern Kentucky and northeastern Tennessee; the name Cumberland Mountains is generally applied to this area, which includes the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. The plateau has large deposits of coal, limestone, and sandstone.
Learn more about Cumberland Plateau with a free trial on Britannica.com.
The Cumberland Plateau is a deeply dissected plateau, with topographic relief commonly of about four hundred feet (120 meters), and frequent sandstone outcroppings and bluffs. Many coal seams are present in the area, and the Cumberland Plateau has for many years been heavily mined.
At Kentucky's Pottsville Escarpment, which is the transition from the Cumberland Plateau to the Bluegrass in the north and the Pennyrile in the south, there are many spectacular cliffs, gorges, rockhouses, natural bridges, and waterfalls. In Tennessee, the Cumberland Plateau's western border is the Highland Rim east of the Nashville Basin, and its eastern edge is marked by Walden Ridge, which continues south into Alabama as Sand Mountain. Walden Ridge and Sand Mountain are separated from the main portion of the Cumberland Plateau by the Sequatchie Valley, which extends into central Alabama under other names.
In Kentucky, the height of the plateau's hills increases from northwest to southeast, with the westernmost areas of the plateau having a relief of around 200 feet and an appearance similar to the knobs region, whereas areas near Black Mountain have a relief exceeding 2,500 feet.
The Cumberland Plateau is contiguous with the Allegheny Plateau on the northern side, the only real difference being local naming. The sedimentary rocks that compose both plateaus are of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian geological age, composed of near shore sediments washed westward from the old Appalachian Mountains. Some rock layers were laid down in shallow coastal waters, some, including bituminous coal seams were laid onshore in swampy environments. These are interlaced with delta formations of cross-bedded sandstones and occasionally conglomerate. There are numerous discontinuities in the beds, where they were raised high enough to be eroded, then lowered to have more sediments added on top.

The Impact of US Healthcare Policy on Advance Care Planning Part I
Andrew Epstein, MD
Palliative Medicine
Mount Sinai Medical Center
New York, New York
Advance healthcare planning allows patients with life-threatening illnesses, such as cancer, to plan their future medical care collaboratively with caregivers and healthcare providers. This process has received recent attention on both national and state levels. Most notably, under Pres. Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of March 2010, physicians can now be reimbursed for providing voluntary consultations related to advance care planning for their patients with declining health. Further, since January 2011, New York State healthcare practitioners are required to inform patients with less than six month life expectancies about their disease process and end-of-life care options. Although physicians may be reluctant to initiate these difficult discussions for the fear of inflicting psychological harm on patients, recent research suggests that such communication is necessary to prevent adverse outcomes. Also, recent studies, mostly conducted in cancer patients, support the benefits of palliative care in improving quality of life and prolonging survival.

Each year, Hundreds of millions of pilgrims travel great distances to sites with unique spiritual significance in seeking hope, transformation and wisdom. These fourteen pilgrimage destination call close to 200,000,000 people to their wonders every year. Have you been to any of these locations? Will you be making a pilgrimage this year? Please offer your thoughts and suggestions in the comments section.
13| Bodhi Tree
According to Buddhist tradition, it was at this spot that Siddharta Gautama meditated for 49 days before attaining enlightenment. However, the tree is sacred for other reasons as well. Known as the "mythical World Tree," some say it is here that believers can reach liberation through spiritual development. Between 800,000 to over a million people mainly from Asia visit the Bodi Tree each year making this one of our most popular pilgrimage spots.
12| Rumi's Tomb, Konya, Turkey
Muslims and foreign tourists visit Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi's tomb. On 17 December 1273, the founder of the Mevlevi Sufi Brotherhood, and now one of the most widely read poets in the world, Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi, died in Konya. The Mevlana mausoleum with its mosque, dance hall, dervish living quarters, school and tombs of various leading adherents to the Mevlevi order continue to draw pilgrims.
11| Machu Picchu
According to an Italian study, Machu Picchu was never an actual city, but an Incan pilgrimage site. It seemed to have been the private estate of the emperor Pachacuti and was symbolically centered to the Andean vision of the cosmos. Even today, nearly one million people visit this serene mountain top annually with 2500 people arriving daily from May until September.
10| Bethlehem
As Jesus' birthplace, the city of Bethlehem is a popular pilgrimage site particularly during Christmas when all the city's hotel rooms are booked solid. Annually, nearly 1.4 million people visit the city and the surrounding historical sites. The number of visitors has steadily been on the rise in recent years according to Israeli government figures.

Review : BridesbyPB (peachesandblush.com)
I had ordered two lehengas from BridesByPB. And I loved one – the one I got for Sangeet. There were not many surprises there as I got the lehenga from the exact designer.
Not so much with the other lehenga- which was copied from the design I gave. It looked nice but I was not really happy with the quality of the material used for the lehenga. And for the price I paid, I expected something better.
I guess, I should have done a little more background check about the designer who made my reception lehenga- should have asked Mehak to show samples of work she had already done. Something to be taken into consideration by both brides and the service provider.
The shopping service can be a real help if you know the designer and if you want to get hold of their work (if they are not accessible). Otherwise, it can be a hit/miss.
"Brides" by Peaches and Blush is a shopping service for Indians (or other desi's) based outside India (or even those who are in India), who want the most stunning Indian fashion pieces right from New Delhi
Why did I go to BridesByPB?
In Kolkata, I just had 15 days to shop for everything required for my wedding. I managed to complete my shopping for my actual wedding day. But sadly, I couldn't find a nice lehenga for my reception.
After I came back to US, I had two options –
1. Go to one of the couture showrooms in US which charge around 2-3x what they do in India.
2. Find someone in India to do the shopping for you.
I opted for the second option. Initially I was kind of skeptical of going for a bridal shopping service in India. My mom thought that I had gone crazy. But still I was adamant that I wanted to give it a shot. And I am so glad that I did. Throughout the process Mehak has been so wonderful and so responsible, that there have been times that I had to stop myself from contacting her to give orders for new stuff. She can get a little addictive. And sometimes, it feels like you have your own genie :D :P
How do the entire process work?
1. Budget. You have to set your budget before starting the process.
2. She will send you photos of designs which fits under the budget
3. Either you like her designs and place an order. Or you can send some of your own pictures and designs and she can see if she can get it made in your budget.
4. She contacts the designers in Delhi, and gives you a quote. Best part, she always tries to work in your budget.
5. After you send her the payment [quote +service charge] , she will get set to work.
6. During the entire process, she will constantly keep in touch with you when deciding the colors, style and measurements.
7. And you get to see the work in progress. I got pictures of the material she got for my blouse. And later when lehenga was half done, she sent me pictures of the first look as well.
8. And after around 4 weeks of placing the order, your item will be ready to be shipped.
What I like about her service?
She is very prompt. I never had to wait for more than a day for her replies.
The entire process is very transparent. She keeps you involved throughout the process.
And you get her advice for free :)
Also, you can order almost anything from her – shoes, sherwani, jewellery etc. The services include lot of items.
Will I order from her again ?
I have already ordered couple of things from her. And I am definitely going to contact her again if someone in the family gets married.
So if you are like me , a bride who can't go to India for shopping or if you are limited by time. You should definitely try contacting her. You won't be disappointed. And it won't hurt the purse either :)


text: I don't believe any of my female friends have ever mentioned using female condoms. I've seen them on store shelves, but I don't know who's actually buying them. It seems like a pretty good idea, since some men are reluctant to wear condoms during sex. I have to wonder if the installation of a female condom takes more time than putting on a male condom. That could be an important factor to consider.

The Iraqi Ministry of Defence announced Monday (November 5th) that a large-scale terrorist plan targeting Baghdad has been thwarted.
"A joint army-police force, which Monday morning stormed a building in Taji, north of Baghdad, arrested 11 al-Qaeda gunmen who had in their possession two car bombs, a third one that was ready to be wired, improvised explosive devices, sticky bombs, and silencer-equipped guns," Iraqi Ministry of Defence spokesperson Col. Dhia al-Wakeel told Al-Shorfa.
"The detainees confessed to planning to launch a large-scale terrorist attack targeting different areas of the capital this week," he said, adding that "they were involved in previous attacks in Baghdad".
Iraqi forces are interrogating the detainees to identify the organisation behind them and the names of those who supervised the plan, he said.

Confused by the recipe title? Fajita seasoning mix adds a Mexican twist to this Italian favorite. Your family will shout "Olé" when they taste this fusion lasagna!

We're using ground beef in this recipe instead of the usual steak found in fajitas so the lasagna will be easier to cut. When we tested this recipe using slices of steak, we found that cutting the lasagna into serving pieces was difficult.
No-boil lasagna noodles are so convenient to have on hand. Most large grocery stores now carry boxes of them right next to the regular lasagna noodles and other pastas.

Slideshow — Fug Girls: A Gossip Girl Reunion at Alice + Olivia
NY Mag: The first thing Kelly Rutherford did at Alice + Olivia on Monday night was scream. Heads whipped in her direction as Rutherford burst through the line of photographers and onto the red carpet to sweep her former TV stepdaughter, Taylor Momsen, into a tight embrace. Gossip Girl itself may be gone, but apparently the love will never die.
"She looks amazing!" Rutherford said to a PR girl, and she was right — in fact, Momsen looked better than we've seen her in a while.

The major downside to corporate consulting, however, is the travel. Any time you're working, you're living out of a suitcase in a hotel somewhere, and since you're expensing the room, let's just say a stay at the Four Seasons isn't in your future. Besides being far from home, the job is also lonely. As a consultant to the company, you are an outsider, so despite spending the day in meetings with the company, you'll never be "one of the guys" -- don't expect an invite out to dinner or a round of golf. They'll go home to their families, and you get to hit the hotel bar. Consulting isn't a bad gig, and the work itself is interesting. Like many of the jobs on this list, the lifestyle changes that come along with it are what make it unpleasant.

Feb. 1 Student Day of Action in pictures
Activists get creative on National Day of Action against Jason Kenney
Related rabble.ca story:
International Day against Homophobia and Trans*phobia
May 17 is the International Day against Homophobia and Trans*phobia which is an international day of awareness, advocacy and celebration of sexual and gender diversity. The day was created to attract the attention of policy makers, opinion leaders, media and the general public to the daily violence faced by LGBTQQIA2S (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual and two-spirited) people around the world. In just a decade, the day has ballooned to be a significant call to action by queer folks to mobilize around international injustices.
Evolution of the day
All Out! Day of Action at Ontario Legislature on the private clinics
Join us Wednesday May 14 to deliver the results of our citizen-led referendum to Queen's Park. We would like to invite as many people as possible for the morning events.
Beginning promptly at 9:30 a.m. there will be a briefing on the grass outside the south facing main doors at Queen's Park, followed with a media event at 10 a.m. to deliver the ballot boxes up to the front doors of Queen's Park. At 10:30 a.m. we invite everyone to head into the Legislature to fill the gallery for Question Period.

Demand compensation for the victims of Rana Plaza
One year after the warehouse garment factory known as Rana Plaza in Savar, Bangladesh collapsed and families are still left without financial compensation from some of the world's biggest clothing brands. The Rana Plaza Arrangement was created to ensure that families and injured workers would receive just compensation. The fund only has $16 million from the companies - but they need at least $40 million to fairly compensate all families and workers affected.
National Day of Action for a New Health Accord (Brampton)
March 31st marks the expiry of the 2004 Health Accord and the federal government has refused to negotiate a new accord.
We are sounding the alarm about the federal government's funding cuts to wake Canadians up to what this means for our health-care services. Removing $36 billion from our health care system will put an end to national standards. It will lead to the fragmentation of services across the country and that increasingly, access to care will depend on where you live.
Video: Day of Action against the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Corporate Globalization
On January 31, 2014, the Council of Canadians participated in an Inter-Continental Day of Action against the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Corporate Globalization. Actions and events took place in more than 50 cities across Canada, the United States, Mexico and Australia.
Dan Peruzzo of D See Video Productions captured the action in Comox, British Columbia and is inviting everyone to share and post the video to their websites, Facebook accounts and listserves. It's a good time to do so with TPP negotiations continuing behind closed doors in Singapore this week.

Intercontinental Day of Action Against Corporate Globalization
Free trade and globalization have long been touted by academics and politicians as the answer to the problems of the modern world. But activists have seen first-hand the devestation that corporate globalization can cause.
It's important to recognize the devastating effects of corporate globalization on local workers and communities. When companies close down Canadian plants in favour of finding cheaper labour elsewhere, what happens to cities like Leamington and London, ON?

Efficiently Isolating Contractors From Sensitive Data: The Many Advantages of Software-based Contractor Isolation
Click here to download now
Overview: For information security directors at large corporations, the growing reliance on contractors is a major concern. Local and offshore programmers provide businesses a competitive edge, but they also increase security risks. Often contractors are hired to rapidly solve problems while operating outside the security policies of employees. Once within the network, they have free access to confidential data and business systems. Even when access is restricted, these savvy individuals can easily jump to unauthorized systems-unknown to the corporation.
Unlike employees, contractors function outside normal policy controls. The sensitive work performed by many contractors places them within reach of customer data, confidential documents and strategic plans. Whether accidental or malicious, many contractors will find their way to off-limits data and systems.
How can businesses prevent contractors from accessing sensitive or business-critical data? Is there a cost-efficient way to isolate contractors from essential business systems?
To meet these challenges, businesses are turning to software-based contractor isolation solutions. Designed to limit the access of contractors without adding costly and complex firewalls or VLANs, these security solutions are helping large corporations protect their critical assets. This white paper will examine contractor security trends and reveal the many advantages of software-based contractor isolation.

Jones told Stevie he expected Alfaro to pay him about $20,000 for tending plants at the house. Stevie himself was expecting payment for the construction work he'd done on the place. But Alfaro stalled. According to witnesses, he used all his ready cash to put a $32,000 down payment on a house he'd bought for Courtney in the same neighborhood. Within a couple of months, Stevie was pissed off with Alfaro's excuses and delays. Stevie moved back in with his parents, telling friends he'd had enough of the grow business. Annmarie had broken up with him over his friendship with Jose: She'd never liked Alfaro. Alfaro later told Jones he'd kicked Stevie out because he was smoking crack.
The last time Eddie and Margaret Febonio saw Stevie was August 24. That afternoon, Stevie gave his father an ominous warning: "If I don't come back for a couple of days, go to my room and see the note I left." Later that afternoon, Alfaro came by the house to pick up Stevie. Thinking of his son's warning, Eddie's training as a detective took over, and he paid close attention to the details. Alfaro drove a red Acura. Stevie wore a green striped shirt and a pair of khaki shorts.
When his son didn't come home, Eddie called his cell phone; it went straight to voice-mail. He contacted friends, like Michael Pampillonia, looking for his son. He called Jose Alfaro. Alfaro never returned his calls.
Eddie Febonio filed a missing persons report ten days later, on September 4. By this time, Eddie had found the note Stevie had mentioned on his way out the door. According to police reports and friends, the note said that Stevie felt he was in danger from Alfaro. It gave the address of the grow house in Parkland.
A week after Eddie filed a missing persons report, on September 11, DEA agent Boyle showed up at the Parkland grow house he had been watching all summer, search warrant in hand. The agents knocked and entered just in time to see Jones fleeing out a sliding glass door at the back of the house. The DEA arrested Jones on charges of possession with intent to distribute more than 100 marijuana plants. Jones told police he was just renting a room there. Agents found 125 plants in the house, plus 60 clones growing in a closet. In Jones' Mustang, they scooped up a Tupperware container of weed.
Jones faced up to 40 years in federal prison on the grow house charges. But in March 2008, U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks sentenced Jones to the six months he had already served. He paid a $100 fine and walked.
Jose Alfaro, meanwhile, was still free.
On September 27, 2007, a little over a month after Stevie Febonio disappeared, Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Detective Sean Oliver followed up on Febonio's missing persons report. Oliver interviewed friends and family. And he got in touch with Kevin Perez, who had left a cell phone message for Febonio on the day he disappeared.
Perez had been closely involved with Alfaro's grow house business, he admitted to Oliver. He told the detective that he was now afraid for his life and that "he didn't want these people to come after him."
Perez remembered that the last time he had seen Stevie was when he had stopped by to borrow money. He guessed that Stevie might have been on a crack binge. He also told Oliver that Stevie and Alfaro had a disagreement: Alfaro was stalling on paying for the drywall Stevie had put up.
Perez, the detective learned, had been the person who warned Justin Jones that the Parkland grow house was being watched by DEA agents. He too had loaned Alfaro money to set up the grow house — Alfaro promised him a return of $25,000. Alfaro had finally paid him back with about $4,000 worth of pot. Talking to Oliver, Perez was nervous, his emotions close to the surface. He blurted out that Alfaro had once boasted that the best way to get rid of a body was to cut it up and put it in a freezer. He remembered he'd seen a freezer in the garage of the Parkland grow house. When Oliver showed him a picture of Stevie, Perez broke down in tears and begged the detective to put the photo away.
A week later, Oliver interviewed Justin Jones. He too said he was scared. He told the detective that Alfaro owned an AK-47. "I don't want to become missing," he said.
When Oliver caught up with Alfaro the next day at the Parkland house he shared with Courtney, Alfaro told the detective that Stevie had "a history of disappearing."
"Eddie Febonio has accused you of murdering his son," Oliver told him point-blank. Stevie, he said, had left a note with the addresses of the grow houses. Visibly agitated, Alfaro claimed he had dropped Stevie off at the gym the day he disappeared, just 15 minutes after he'd picked him up. Stevie was mixed up with "bad people," Alfaro added ominously. "He's not going to be walking through any doors."
Oliver thought it was weird that Alfaro referred to Stevie in the past tense. But the detective's hunches and the claims of some pretty shady characters didn't add up to grounds for an arrest.

The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) administrator conducted an independent external Portfolio Review Panel July 20-22, 2004, in Washington, DC, to meet the performance-budget requirements of the Office of Management and Budget. The panel evaluated the effectiveness of the portfolio, and made recommendations to the administrator and national program leaders.
Panel members were Dr. Mary Ahearn, Economic Research Service; Dr. Walt Armbruster, Farm Foundation (chairman); Dr. Bob Birkenholz, The Ohio State University; Dr. Joe Coffey, Southern States Cooperative; Dr. Bruce Gardner, University of Maryland; Dr. Otto Loewer, University of Arkansas; Dr. Mary Marchant, University of Kentucky; Dr. Norman Scott, Cornell University; and Dr. Lyle Stephens, Deere & Co.
NIFA prepared and provided the portfolio self-review document, Report to the External Review Panel, Agricultural Markets & Trade, Portfolio 1.1, International Economic Development, Portfolio1.2, and Structure of the Agricultural Sector & Farm Management, Portfolio 1.4 to the review panel prior to the evaluation.
The panel considered the gamut of research, teaching, and extension activities of the NIFA/land-grant partnership and NIFA's leadership role, and developed an assessment of each portfolio. The panel used criteria that met OMB's overall research and development criteria of relevance, quality, and performance. The panel's findings are in the following report to the agency:
NIFA Portfolio 1.1, Agricultural Markets and Trade, including the research and education topics of Market Economics, Marketing and Distribution Practices, and Domestic Policy Analysis received a rating of Moderately Effective in Supporting NIFA Objectives.

After giving the matter a lot of thought, I've decided I'm just not that into Suburbs Guy and I'm going to dump him.
April Fool's! Ha ha, I crack myself up.
Last night, he brought over Old School on DVD and we ordered in sushi. I've seen that movie at least five times and it still kills me. When the credits started rolling, I decided it was time to make my move. I turned the TV off, straddled him on the couch and started kissing him.
"I think," I whispered in his ear while lightly nibbling on it, "that it's about time you spent the night."
He threw me down on the couch (gently, of course) and we started making out. My shirt came off, his shirt came off, any and all remaining zippers and buttons were promptly unzipped and unbuttoned. And then...he stopped.
"K, listen..."
And then I got the whole story. He'd told me a little bit about his ex-girlfriend. I knew they broke up about nine months ago. They'd lived together. He'd caught her cheating on him. What I didn't know is that he was about to propose to her. And he hasn't been with anyone since her, you know, intimately. Naturally, the warning bells started going off.
"Are you over her?" I asked, tentatively.
"Yeah, totally," he said. "The thing is, she isn't the person I fell in love with. I don't even know if that person even existed. But there hasn't been a day that's gone by, not even a minute, where I've asked myself if I did the right thing ending it. I know I did."
"I understand," I said, and meant it. It's the exact same way I feel about Mike.
"Plus, I've never been a casual sex guy anyway," he said. "I'm kind of old-fashioned that way. With the ex, we didn't have sex until like two months after we started dating."
"Is that how they grow `em outside of the city limits?" I teased.
"Nah, I'm pretty much one of a kind."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah," he said, pulling me back on top of him. "You might want to snatch me up while you have the chance."
We fooled around off and on until around four in the morning, when he informed me he had to leave before the last of his willpower was broken down. I started thinking about my Rabbit and how if he wasn't going to get freaky with me, he needed to GO.
A note to my high school boyfriend: I totally forgive you for all that whining about blue balls.

text: The 15 year-old son of 19th District Senator Brian Hatfield is pleading guilty to charges of child rape and child molestation. An 11 year-old boy claims that Hatfield's son abused him on multiple occasions at the Hatfield's home in Raymond, and at a home in Chehalis. Court records show that Hatfield himself became aware of the abuse in February of this year. They say that he worked to keep the boys apart, but didn't report the incidents to authorities. The Lewis County Sheriff's Office became involved in the case a couple of weeks ago, after getting a sexual abuse report from school officials. Hatfield's son was eventually arrested. He entered the plea on Tuesday, admitting to four counts of child molestation and four counts of child rape. To this point, Hatfield has made no comments on the case.

History Says Republicans Will Lose Big Behind Gingrich
Newt Gingrich blew away Mitt Romney in South Carolina. But the self-professed "historian" should be looking back to the last times insurgent groups of partisans toppled establishment nominees: the 1972 Democratic Primary and the 1964 Republican Primary. And Republicans of all stripes should be afraid.
Credit where credit is due: Newt Gingrich did the nearly-impossible. He turned two strong debate performances into a twenty-something-point swing in the polls in South Carolina, upending the "electability" narrative of Mitt Romney once again. He and his outside backers tossed millions of dollars into the Palmetto State to do it, and must now scramble on to Florida, an even bigger market. As he does, his opponents (and voters) might want to take a closer look at history.
Despite his loss, Mitt Romney (and Ron Paul, though their voter bases don't overlap) is actually running a national campaign. Romney has had the airwaves to himself in Florida until now, and it showed in the polls, even now as Gingrich's momentum rises. (Paul has the money and time to be a serious menace in the caucus states that will follow the Sunshine State primary, with their arcane rules and procedural methods for electing delegates.)
What about Gingrich? As the Romney camp pointed out in a handy chart, Gingrich is not even on the ballot in Virginia, has an incomplete slate of delegates in Tennessee, and may have more procedural mines waiting for him the longer the season drags on. He is just not organized, and, as his erratic campaigning in South Carolina demonstrated, he's never going to be organized, whether up or down in the polls. He'll have to rely on national momentum to barrel through.
In fact, it's partially that lack of organization that makes Gingrich so resurgently endearing to conservative primary voters. Everyone, they think, loves the underdog. The fact that Gingrich has twice (in this political season alone) made himself the underdog by refusing to run a good campaign should be setting off major warning bells in their heads. For a few of them, it does – that's why they're finally backing Romney, or taking their ball and going home (read: backing Rick Santorum, who has no chance whatsoever to catch Romney or Gingrich at this point but will make his endorsers feel good about their moralizing selves).
But the Republican primary electorate is angry. We lost in 2008, they say, ignoring the fact that they were going to lose in 2008 no matter what. And we ran some moderate establishment politician. Never mind that what wound up turning a fairly close race into an electoral landslide against McCain was his own erratic decisions, like, say, nominating Sarah Palin for VP without vetting her, or "suspending his campaign." Clearly, say the voters, he was not conservative enough.
We've seen this become GOP voter orthodoxy, but not party orthodoxy. Think back to the 2010 midterms, which not only sent in a wave of animated first-time lawmakers who are now causing intra-party ngridlock, but also ousted more old-fashioned Republicans, notably Bob Bennett (R-UT). The failure to take the Senate in 2010 because candidates like Christine "Not A Witch" O'Donnell in Delaware won the GOP primary instead of the actually-electable Rep. Mike Castle did alert some voters to the idea of "nominating someone who has a shot at winning" (this is why Romney is doing as well as he is), but the fury remained.
This behavior is not new. It happened with the Democrats in 1968. A voter base livid with the departing incumbent and his seemingly-handpicked nominee wound up handing the election (which was really already going to go their way to begin with) to the other party in a landslide. In 1972, those newly-orthodox voters said "never again" and, out of a weak field, picked a candidate that looked and talked more like them but lacked the organization to compete against a well-funded incumbent: Senator George McGovern.
The result? Well, see for yourself. McGovern won one state (Massachusetts) plus D.C.
Gingrich, like McGovern in 1972, could actually cobble together a strange sort of platform and tilt at windmills long past Florida. Rank-and-file Republicans seem to be entertaining the prospect, and the media would love to see a longer horse race between him and Romney, feeding his need for momentum in lieu of organization. But for however much Gingrich accuses Romney of being the candidate that's going to lose to Obama, all the polls out there show Gingrich losing by far worse margins. He'd get clobbered in Ohio. He's losing in Texas. Last time they asked, he was even losing in… South Carolina.
And while Romney has proven that he can build a retail campaign, even if he looks wobbly when he goes off-message, Gingrich has no retail campaign or "on-message" to begin with. Some of his plans for winning the nomination are downright farcical. Does Gingrich really think that a sitting President will agree to seven three-hour "Lincoln-Douglas style debates?" The Commission on Presidential Debates, which sets these things up, isn't even going to entertain that notion, and just like when House Republicans blocked the payroll tax cut, Gingrich is going to look unreasonable if he stamps his foot and refuses to debate at all.
Gingrich lives in a fantasy land, just as Republicans did when they nominated the unpalatable "true conservative" Barry Goldwater in 1964. The result back then? Well, he won more states than McGovern did (6), but suffered the largest popular vote drubbing in the modern history of American politics to Lyndon Johnson, a sitting president whose social policies were to the left of Obama's and whose re-election was a mandate to continue those policies.
Some Republicans do see the cliff they're at risk of heading off. A "Mitt-leaning GOPer" told the long-time political journalist Tom DeFrank quite bluntly: "Newt means losing 45 states." At the debate tonight in Tampa, Romney is going to have to make that point clearly while providing some semblance of positive vision beyond his usual boring platitudes. He hasn't managed to pull that off in some time.
History is staring Gingrich in the face. But Gingrich has always thought of himself as a Hegelian "world-historical figure," someone who breaks all prior precedents. A recent attack-release from the Romney camp, picked up by the New York Times, cites statements in which Gingrich has compared himself to, in part, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Woodrow Wilson, Henry Clay, Charles de Gaulle, William Wallace, the Duke of Wellington, Thomas Edison, Vince Lombardi, the Wright brothers, Moses, and "a Viking." That's quite a list. Nobody thinks Gingrich is quite up in that league, except perhaps Newt Himself (or the Minnesota Vikings). But Gingrich could break precedents in at least one regard: losing to Obama worse than Goldwater lost to Johnson.
It may seem early to be considering all of this. As noted, even if Gingrich wins Florida, he's got a long, hard procedural slog ahead of him that his opponents actually, you know, prepared for. But Romney and other Republicans need to be raising the issue now. If the Gingrich ball gets rolling down the hill this time, the GOP had better get ready for a very confusing four years in political shambles.
Maybe Newt will bring the Wagner soundtrack and the horned helmets.

In addition to a recent article I wrote about the hamstring gluteus tie-in, I have decided to elaborate with some more effective exercises to target this area. You know the area, where your leg and butt become one or for some us, where your butt sags over your thigh!
One of the best ways to target this area is to work in the lower 90 degree angle of the knee and hip bend.
Frog walking is killer on this area but for those with bad knees; unfortunately I have to suggest you do not do this exercise. Frog walking is where you crouch down on your feet so that your butt is touching or almost touching the back of your heels or the Achilles area. Now in this position walk forward never rising beyond a 90 degree knee bend. Try to get this until you can do it smoothly with large steps. I would work for 10-20 steps per leg.
Pop squats are another great exercise for the hamstring gluteus tie-in. You begin in the same position as the frog walk, rise up to a 90 degree bend in the knees as if you are sitting in a chair without the chair! Hold that for a 5-10 second count then stand all the way up to immediately drop to crouch again, with butt to Achilles. Repeat this for 10-15 reps.
Of course with all of these your knees will go beyond the toes slightly, so you have to have injury free knees and also use utmost control with your movements. This is unconventional but can be done safely by the average public.
The 90 hold is one I remember from grade school when they would take us outside on nice mornings and make us do some exercises in order to burn us out a bit before lessons. It worked! We would lower into a 90 degree knee bend squat, some of us were allowed to lean on a wall but it did not help that much. We had to hold this for 60 seconds and do it 2-3 times. Once would usually have most of us kids crying! As an adult female I now find myself torturing my body doing this exercise in the drive for that nice tight swoop in the hamstring gluteus tie-in!!!!
The last exercise is the drop squat. You would drop to the crouch position mentioned with the first 2 exercises, ensuring you do not use any leg muscle at all to get there, then for a 10 second count, you slowly rise to a stand. Immediately dropping and resuming another 10 second rise for 5-10 reps total. Hold your belly button into your lower back through this exercise to make sure you really hit the right spot. Engaging the abs will recruit the hamstring gluteus tie-in to engage as well.
Stretching after each exercise is the only way you will be able to effectively perform each after. You cannot progress if you fail to fast which is what will happen without the release of stretching and recovery.

Download original files | Bookmark/share this page |
In the matter between:
[1] This is an application relating to the dispute over the ownership of a residential stand No. 4314, Lonely Park, Mafikeng. This stand is part of the tribal land owned by the Barolong Boo Ratshidi Tribal Authority.
[2] Evidently, the Applicant paid an amount of R10 000.00 to one Mr Morulaganyi Tawana as the purchase price for that stand. What appears to be an official transfer of that property to the Applicant took place thereafter. The first Respondent thereafter contested the ownership of that stand. Consequently, there are two persons claiming ownership of the same stand.
[3] The real dispute between the parties is not whether or not the Applicant purchased the stand from Mr Tawana. The issue is whether or not Mr Morulaganyi Tawana was the rightful owner of the stand and could, therefore, lawfully transfer ownership of the stand to the Applicant.
[4] Two versions have been given regarding the ownership of stand No. 4314, Lonely Park. Mr Morulaganyi Tawana, Mr Kgang Tawana and Mr Abueng allege that some time during 1994, the then Paramount Chief ("Kgosikgolo") of the Barolong Boo Ratshidi, Kgosi Setumo Montshiwa, decided that the tribal land in Lonely Park be subdivided into stands. This was done and Mr Morulaganyi Tawana was allotted stand No. 4314. In contradistinction to this, the first Respondent says that her husband, in his capacity as headman of Lonely Park, allotted this stand to her. Mr Labius Moralo also alleges that on some unspecified year, he, in his capacity as the Chairman of the Lonely Park Land Allocation Committee, allocated stand No. 4314 to the first Respondent's husband.
[5] None of the people who have deposed to affidavits or given some kind of information have told this Court what the correct procedure for the allocation of land is. It is, therefore, not clear whether stands are ordinarily allocated by the Chairman of the Land Allocation Committee of a particular village (if Mr Moralo was in fact the Chairman), or by the headman or by the Paramount Chief, or by some other structure.
[6] There is an allegation made by the first Respondent that her late husband Ramushu Tawana allotted stand No. 4314 to her during his lifetime, in his capacity as headman of Lonely Park. There is also a statement by Mr Labius Moralo to the effect that he is the one who allotted that stand to Mr Ramushu Tawana. A document which appears to be an allotment of a stand to one Ms Ramantsi at Signal Hill, apparently approved by the tribal office, is also attached to the papers. The latter allotment took place in 1995 and the late Kgosikgolo Setumo Montshiwa is said to have countersigned the relevant document. Whether Signal Hill and Lonely Park is the same area or are different but all under the jurisdiction of one headman has not been explained.
[7] There is yet another material dispute of fact about which there is no clarity. The Deputy Paramount Chief, Mr Morulaganyi Tawana, Mr Kgang Tawana and others supporting the Applicant seem to suggest that it is the duty of the tribal authority, the head office of the tribe for want of a better description, which has the authority to allot stands. This is deduced from the allegation made in support of Mr Morulaganyi Tawana's right of ownership over 4314. It is alleged that the late Paramount Chief Setumo Montshiwa gave that stand to Mr Morulaganyi Tawana and that he also allotted stands in the Lonely Park area to other people. It is also said that when he did that, he was accompanied by several people including the tribal policeman and Mr Kgang Tawana. This stands in sharp contrast to the understanding of the first Respondent who says that the allocation of stands in that area was a matter for the authorities in Lonely Park (as stated in paragraph [4] of this judgment).
[8] There is a dispute about the authenticity of the stands allocation register kept by the tribal office. Only a copy, which shows Mr Morulaganyi Tawana as owner of the disputed stand, was filed of record but the original was never produced. There is a need for the production of the original document that shows who was in fact allocated stand No. 4314 in Lonely Park. Probably not just the register but also some evidence by some of those who know how the system works and who was (were) responsible for making entries in the register and on whose instruction(s).
[9] There is a material dispute of fact with regard to who of Mr Kgang and Mr Ramushu Tawana was the headman of Lonely Park between 1977 and 2003 when Mr Ramushu Tawana died. The question is not who was the hereditary headman at the time, but who was recognised by the tribal authority as the headman of Lonely Park. In other words, who was the effective headman at the time of the allocation of stand No. 4314.
[10] The current Kgosikgolo has written a letter to the effect that Mr Kgang Tawana has been the headman for Lonely Park since 1977 and was therefore responsible for all matters affecting Lonely Park, apparently including the allocation of stands. On the other hand, the first Respondent contends that her husband was the headman for the area from 1977 until 2003 when he passed on. The findings of a duly constituted Commission of Enquiry are that he is the rightful headman for Lonely Park. They are annexed to the papers. Also annexed to the papers is the document in which a recommendation dated 1992 is made by the Barolong Boo Ratshidi Administration to the Presidency, that the first Respondent's husband be appointed or recognised as the headman for Lonely Park. This is intended to reinforce the first Respondent's contention that her husband was at all times material hereto, the headman for Lonely Park, and therefore had the power to allot stand No. 4314 to himself or to her as the case may be.
[11] It is not clear whether or not Mr Ramushu Tawana, the first Respondent's husband, was ever allowed to take over as headman of Lonely Park consequent upon the 1992 recommendation by the Tribal Authority that he be recognised by government as headman for Lonely Park. There is also a paucity of information as to when and how Mr Kgang Tawana took over as headman and what his role, if any, was and is in the allocation of stands. Issues relating to the allocation of a stand to Ms Ramantsi, apparently by Mr R. Tawana in 1995 may have to be explained. Clarity is required on the question whether or not the Paramount Chief's allocation would prevail over the allocation made by a headman or the Chairman of the Land Allocation Committee or what the correct position is.
[12] This is by no means an exhaustive list of the areas of concern. Clearly, there are material disputes of fact which can only be satisfactorily resolved by evidence and cross-examination of those giving evidence. Information is also insufficient to allow a final decision to be taken now in this matter.
[13] In the result, the following order is made:
"a) The application is postponed to a date to be urgently arranged with the Registrar and/or the Judge President of this Division for the hearing of oral evidence;
b) The issues to be resolved at such hearing are set out below:
(i) was Mr Morulaganyi Tawana or the first Respondent the owner of stand No. 4314 Lonely Park at the time it was sold to the Applicant;
(ii) is the original Lonely Park land allocation register existent and, if so, who does it reflect as the owner of stand No. 4314;
(iii) was a headman or the Chairperson of the Lonely Park land allocation committee empowered to allot stand No. 4314 Lonely Park to the first Respondent or her late husband without any intervention or assistance whatsoever by the tribal office;
(iv) did the paramount chief have the power and authority to lawfully allot stand No. 4314 Lonely Park to Mr Morulaganyi Tawana?
(v) if it had already been allotted by the headman or the Chairman of the Land Allocation Committee, which allocation would prevail;
(vi) who was the de facto headman of Lonely Park between 1992 and 2003?
(vii) when did that person take over and how was that takeover regularised by the tribal authority or government, as the case may be?
(viii) was there a land allocation committee in the tribal office between 1992 and 2003? If so, who were the members and what do they know about the controversial allocation?
c) The evidence to be adduced at the aforesaid hearing shall be that of any witnesses whom the parties or either of them may elect to call, subject, however, to such directives as the judge President might give or to what is provided below;
d) Save in the case of any persons who have already deposed to affidavits in these proceedings, neither party shall be entitled to call any person as a witness unless:
(i) it has served on the other party, at least 10 days before the date appointed for the hearing, a statement by such person wherein the evidence to be given in chief by such person is set out; or
(ii) the Court, at the hearing, permits such person to be called despite the fact that no such statement has been so served in respect of his evidence.
e) Either party may subpoena any person to give evidence at the hearing, whether such person has consented to furnish a statement or not;
f) The fact that a party served a statement or has subpoenaed a witness shall not oblige such party to call the witness concerned;
g) Within 30 days of the making of this order, each of the parties shall make discovery on oath of all documents relating to the issues referred to above, which documents are, or have at any time been, in possession or under control of such party;
h) Such discovery shall be made in accordance with Rule 35 of the Uniform Rules of Court and the provisions of that Rule with regard to the inspection and production of documents discovered shall be operative;
i) The costs of the hearing of the application are to be determined by the Court which hears the postponed application."
