Sarah's Story
Taking a bite out of one of these little flavor bombs puts me right back into childhood. I remember always making these with my Grandmother for the 4th of July. I do not know if it was her brain-child or something she picked up from somewhere but its the ONLY place I have ever seen or heard of anything like it... so I named them JellowMellows and I hope you like them as much as I do!and talk about FAMILY FRIENDLY and EASY PEASY! Kids LOVE these and are a great thing to have them help you make just like I did with my Grandma!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Notes from the Test Kitchen:
This is such a cute idea. Even small children can handle this one. (And we grandmas just love to sugar the grandkids up and then send them home... haha) Have fun!

jumbo marshmallows
jello flavor of your choice (3 oz. box)
tooth picks
small dish of water about 1-1/2 inch deep
dry rag or paper towels
Directions Step-By-Step
First you need to pick out your Jello flavor and pour power mix into a shallow dish or shallow bowl. My Grandma always used Lime and Strawberry but I don't know if it was the flavor she liked or the lack or choices back then... but I say go with whatever you like... do some Berry Blue and Raspberry for Independence Day or Strawberry and Lime for Christmas... Whatever you like (keep In mind that you will have about 1/2 to 1/4 of the Jello mixture left over per bag of marshmallows.
Insert a tooth pick into each marshmallow and arrange on a tray or cookie sheet.
Take the marshmallow by the pick and dip into the water up to the top of the barrel.
Roll over the paper towel to get the excess moisture off.
Roll in the Jello powder mix - set aside and REPEAT :)
Refrigerate for about an hour and serve. These form a bit of a crust and smell divine. I think they taste better the cooler they are but they are good no matter what.
***** Get creative! I have thought about trying to use pre-sweetened koolaid but that might get too sweet or I have even thought of crushing up some Pop-Rocks and mixing them in the Jello mix for a fun twist! Or mix in some Pixi-Stix powder if you like them tart! The possibilities are endless! :D*NEW IDEA - My mother and I were talking about how good these would be for a winter party - make them with cocoa or chocolate pudding mix and serve on a tray with nice hot cocoa. Put them on a longer pick and people can either eat them cold or swirl their cocoa with it... hey it IS a marshmallow. :D

Blogging with Focus and Attitude
Amit Varma does not deny that the image of hanging a journalist upside down just above a vat of boiling oil gives him great glee!. Read his full take here
Penelope Trunk's take on blogging makes a lot of sense. He (Update: oops...... She) talks about blogging as a great training and also a tool to network.
But of course I'm talking about blogs with some focus and a certain attitude and not all and sundry. And I am not talking about blogs where they try to pontificate over national issues and also talk about their dogs having fever!
As for me I'm in the learning phase. I am ashamed of some of my posts which have been a CCP job. In my enthusiasm to make people read whatever I had written, I have also spammed (Very few guys, I promise,....will not repeat,err..I'm not promising anything here!)Have been fiddling with the title, template of my blog and have learnt many new things in the area of my blog focus.

You have been great till now Ranjan sir...
I agree that sometimes to make your readers read what you think is good we went on to do CCP publishing, but I have been trying well to keep out of that, and sometimes publishing speed slows down due to that. I have been in touch to your blog. You write really well.
And hey you know I gave you a permanent reader few days back. Now he reads your blog daily, my dad. He is also kind of too much interested in market kinda stuff.
I see him many times reading your posts.
Keep up the good work! - 10:19 PM

heh. Rashmi was pulling my virtual leg ;-)

Hi, Ranjan.
I think the best bloggers all have posts they wish they hadn't written, because the best bloggers are taking risks. It's a fine line to stay focused while still writing about things that really matter matter to you -- without writing about your dog's health, as you say.

National Tea Party Day :: Wednesday April 15th
Folks... It's put up or shut up time for our nation. If you're fed up with the way things are being run then step up and make yourself heard.
On the day you pay your taxes, Wednesday, April 15, join others across the country and in your hometown who will be participating in TEA party rallies in front of their city halls. The TEA party rally will begin at 12 noon. See this video - the momentum is growing!
Are you fed up with a Congress and a president who:
* vote for a $500 billion tax bill without even reading it?
* are spending trillions of borrowed dollars, leaving a debt our great-grandchildren will be paying?
* consistently give special interest groups billions of dollars in earmarks to help get themselves re-elected?
* want to take your wealth and redistribute it to others?
* punish those who practice responsible financial behavior and reward those who do not?
* admit to using the financial hurt of millions as an opportunity to push their political agenda?
* run up trillions of dollars of debt and then sell that debt to countries such as China?
* want government controlled health care?
* want to take away the right to vote with a secret ballot in union elections?
* refuse to stop the flow of millions of illegal immigrants into our country?
* appoint a defender of child pornography to the Number 2 position in the Justice Department?
* want to force doctors and other medical workers to perform abortions against their will?
* want to impose a carbon tax on your electricity, gas and home heating fuels?
* want to reduce your tax deductibility for charitable gifts?
* take money from your family budget to pay for their federal budget?
If so, participate in the TEA party rally, the Taxed Enough Already (TEA) party.
Bring your cell phone and call Congress and the president while attending the TEA party rally (Representative and Senators, 202-224-3121; President, 202-456-1414). Tell Every American about this effort by forwarding this invitation to your friends. Together we can make a difference.
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." -Thomas Jefferson

Benoit allegation dropped
15 Dec 2009 - 08:16:06
A fan has withdrawn his allegation that Tottenham Hotspur full-back Benoit Assou-Ekotto assaulted him after Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Wolves.
The 25-year-old Cameroon international will face no further investigation despite being involved in a confrontation with a supporter as he left the White Hart Lane pitch.
The Football Association has also said it will take no further action over the incident.
One eye witness had said that Assou-Ekotto raised his hands to the supporter's neck after receiving verbal abuse.
A Tottenham spokesman said: "The club takes the conduct of our supporters and players, and the relationship between them, very seriously.
"The fan and Benoit are due to speak this week to bring an amicable end to the matter."

Need some real world advice on helmets for a big head
What's up guys? After taking a pretty hard fall last season, I looking to get a helmet for this upcoming season. The only problem is I have a pretty big head. The measurements that I have taken vary from about 59.5cm to a little over 60cm. That's between 23 1/4 in to 23 5/8 in. Never really been a hat wearer, but from these measurements, looks like my size would be about a 7 1/2. So with these measurements in mind, I have deduced that I will need a Large or Extra Large Helmet. According to some specs I looked at from RED's helmets, they say that a Large fits heads between 59cm-61cm, but I wanted to see what you guys have heard or experienced. Here are my questions: 1. What size helmet do you think I would need? Judging from RED's specs, what size would I need? 2. In addition, I don't want the helmet to sit too high on my head....it would look quite odd. What recommendations do you have to avoid this? Any of you who have a similar head size, please give me your take on it. Thanks! |

Big header here. Honestly, I'll recommend to you what I did. Check out ski helmets. There's not many helmets marketed toward snowboarders, but there's plenty of skiing helmets out there. Check out ski websites, ski shops, etc. I went with a Boeri for my big dome.

What size head do you have, and did you end up going with a L or XL? Thanks! |

Knowing English has become essential today for better employability and even a better social life.
In the 20th century, as the world transformed into a global village, English emerged as a common thread and has eventually acquired the status of being a global language. Today, a total of 2.5 billion people speak English around the world and more than 56 per cent of all content on the Internet is in English.
In a world that largely speaks English, it becomes imperative to learn the language for interacting and engaging with others. Even Facebook, the largest online social network, witnesses well over 52 per cent of its total user base accessing the site in English.
One might still debate the criticality of learning the language for personal progress. However, the significant role played by English communication skills in the professional domain is undeniable.
Leaders across the globe know that the English language makes you part of a larger, global conversation. And, therefore, even countries which do not have English as their native language encourage its population to learn the language.
This realisation has become quite evident among individuals and organisations as well. While individuals are in a mad rush to learn the language, organisations have begun to use English language communication skills as a key parameter to evaluate employability.
In certain cases, English communication skills are considered so essential that often a minimum skill in the language is non-negotiable with recruiters.
If two candidates have the same technical skills and work proficiency, the candidate with better communication skills and a well-rounded personality definitely has an edge over the other – this is especially true at a time when an organisation needs to downsize.
Some insights
A recent study on 'English Language Proficiency and Workplace Readiness' reiterated some interesting insights about levels of English language skills and employment. According to the report, communication skills (written and oral) are ranked at the top of the most important employability skills.
Individuals who can speak good English are 74 per cent more likely to be employed. Another study conducted by the World Bank, estimated that English communication skills increase the hourly wages of men by a whopping 34 per cent.
This growing and urgent demand for an English-conversant workforce has also ushered in new and innovative ways of learning the language. The traditional instructor–classroom setup is out of step with the current requirements. High-quality trainers are hard to find and difficult to retain.
Learn on the move
With such a dearth of quality trainers, technology innovations in the field of English Language Training (ELT) are the only way forward. For organisations, it offers large-scale replication of the training models – providing high levels of standardisation and enhancing the learning experience.
For individuals, training delivery through devices such as mobiles and tablets enhances the scope for personalised learning. The 'Anytime, Anywhere' learning possibility offered by these devices further expands the learning horizon.
English has truly evolved as a tool that transforms lives. The essence and significance of the English language is captured in one word – opportunity – to have a better job, to lead a better social life, to live a better tomorrow.

Apple has given up control of Newsstand, letting users decide if it stays on the home screen or in a folder.
This model of the hedge maze from the Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick's classic horror film has the level of detail you'd expect from an experienced movie model maker.
LoopPay is a mobile-payment system that could power Samsung's smartphone transactions in the future. Here's what we know so far.

You can probably tell by looking at the crab exactly how to make it – but I took the photos so just in case it helps here are all the steps anyway.
You need two paper plates – paint them red and punch 10 matching holes around the edge.
Cut 5 red pipe cleaners in half. 8 of the halves will become the legs. Take two of the lengths of pipe cleaners and cut a bit off the end bend it in half and wrap the other end around the fold to make the pincer. Make eyes on stalks with some cardboard. Googly eyes also look good.
Join the plates together using the pipecleaners through the holes. Arrange the feet so it stands, and the pincers ready to nip. Glue the eye stalks on between the pincers.
One of those nice simple ideas that result in something fun. After the fun of making this one, there is then more fun had in the playing with it.
I can just see this idea being used in a classroom with each child decorating a paper plate in their own beautiful way, and then them all wrapped in cellophane and covering a wall.
You will need 2 paper dinner plates, a sheet of clear cellophane, red markers or something else to decorate your plates and a glue stick and sticky tape.
Decorate the underside of just one plate to look like candy if it will be displayed on the wall, or two plates if they are used for decorating something like a big tree.
Glue the plates together around the rims.
Wrap the plates in the cellophane to look like a candy wrapper. You may have to cut the cellophane to size.
This is a great little basket to carry all your Halloween treats.
You will need;
2 paper bowls
Orange paint
Black card
2 green Chenille Sitcks (Pipecleaners)
Cut a wide circle out of the bottom of one of the bowls.
Paint the bowls orange. Make sure you paint under the rim so you won't see any white when the bowls are put together. Leave to dry.
Glue the bowls together and stick the mouth and eyes cut from the black card to them.
Wow!! Today I have gathered up as many of the Paper Plate crafts I could find on the site and have put together this list of 14!!
Paper plates might have a minor use at parties – making the cleaning up easier, but I think they may really have been invented for use in paper crafts for children. I have never intentionally looked for paper plate crafts, but have just kept finding lots of great ideas.
A really simple Easter basket.
You start by making a really simple basket using two paper plates and a bit of paper for a handle. Cut the top of the paper plates and face them together with a bit of paper folded to make a handle in between them as pictured. Staple the plates together with the ends of the paper handle between them.
You now have a very simple basket that could be decorated in any number of ways. Your young crafter may choose to paint or glitter or collage their basket. I chose to curl it! I curled some strips of paper by rolling them around a pen and then gluing them on to the basket. This is quite a good technique to teach even quite young children to do – they find it quite fun!

Politics aside, was anyone affected by the "Great American Boycott"? I wasn't but I work at Capital One. I don't know if anyone here, especially those in TX, experienced anything unusual today.

I don't know, maybe that's why the road grader is still sitting at the end of the driveway and the driveway hasn't been finished. But then, it's been sitting there since Friday noon.

The wife took the kids to McDonald's in Walmart and it was closed today for the protest.

There were more parking spots on the jobsite this morning. I rather liked it that way.
No effect on me....the stupid people kept calling me at work.
I must live in a cave.
400,000+ marched in Chicago. You know how that effected me? When I had to drive into the Loop (heart of Chicago for you out-of-towners), there was NO TRAFFIC! It was amazing. I flew through the Junction at 4:15 with only about 10 other cars in eyesight (locals will be impressed with that stat). A couple of burrito shops were closed, but with a restaurant every 10 feet in Chicago, it wasn't hard for me to get lunch. I hate to be a South Park Republican, but I'm thinking that it wasn't a bad thing. No cabs trying to kill me and free and open roads.
Almost no traffic in and around Dallas. A few restaurants closed...a few only serving drinks and finger foods because they had no kitchen help.
I talked to my friends in the Border Patrol last night and they said they were still jumping the border as usual. I thought they were taking the day off?
The trash wasn't emptied at work, but fortunately I didn't have to 'drop the kids off at the pool' yesterday while at work. Having a (legal) Mexican wife, I probably have a different perspective on this than a lot of people. I don't think anybody should be here illegally, but obviously something needs to change if we require illegals to populate the workforce (and we do). OTOH, how idiotic I find it: proving yourself a necessary part of society by resorting to extortion while you're not even here legally. I sure as hell would not depend on you as an employee. Also, the employers they are hurting here are some of the largest employers in all of Mexico, so they're hurting those guys, too. All in all, it could have been better thought out and pursued in different ways.

Sarepta Therapeutics Announces Positive Safety Results From Phase I Clinical Study Of Marburg Drug Candidate
Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRPT), a developer of innovative RNA-based therapeutics, today announced positive safety results from a Phase I multiple ascending dose study of AVI-7288 in healthy volunteers. AVI-7288, which uses Sarepta's advanced and proprietary PMO plus™ chemistry, is the company's lead drug candidate for the treatment of Marburg virus infection. Sarepta has been developing AVI-7288 under a Department of Defense contract managed by the Medical Countermeasure Systems BioDefense Therapeutics (MCS-BDTX) Joint Product Management Office.
The Phase I clinical study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that enrolled 40 healthy adult volunteers, and was designed to characterize the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AVI-7288 after daily repeat dosing. In each of five cohorts, six subjects received AVI-7288 and two subjects received placebo, daily for 14 days. Results showed that AVI-7288 was well tolerated through the highest dose tested, 16 mg/kg per day, which is higher than the anticipated therapeutic dose, with no reported serious or clinically significant adverse events. An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board reviewed blinded safety results from the study and recommended continued clinical development of AVI-7288.
"We are very encouraged by the AVI-7288 study results announced today," said Chris Garabedian, president and chief executive officer of Sarepta Therapeutics. "These safety data, combined with previously reported efficacy results showing up to 100 percent survival in infected animals, differentiates AVI-7288 as the most advanced medical countermeasure in development for the treatment of Marburg infection."
"The new data for AVI-7288 add to a growing body of evidence supporting the safety and activity of Sarepta's PMO-based chemistries," said Art Krieg, M.D., senior vice president and chief scientific officer of Sarepta Therapeutics. "Our proprietary RNA technologies offer a versatile drug development platform with broad potential utility across a spectrum of therapeutic areas."
About Marburg Virus Marburg hemorrhagic fever is a severe and potentially fatal disease in humans first recognized in 1967. It is caused by an RNA virus of the Filoviridae family and is understood to be endemic to Africa. The Marburg virus is classified as a Category A bioterrorism agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and was determined to be a material threat to national security and public health by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2006. Onset of the disease is often sudden, and the symptoms include fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, chest pain and diarrhea. Increasingly severe symptoms may also include massive hemorrhaging and multiple organ dysfunctions. There are currently no treatments for Marburg virus infection beyond supportive care. About Sarepta's PMO plus™ Chemistry PMO plus™ is an advanced and proprietary chemistry based on the phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer, or PMO, technology pioneered by Sarepta. The PMO platform is designed to provide a stable chemistry backbone with superior drug-like characteristics for Sarepta's advanced RNA-based therapeutics. The PMO plus™ chemistry includes specific molecular charges positionally inserted into the PMO's inherent charge-neutral backbone. PMO plus™ has potentially broad therapeutic applications and has thus far shown to be particularly effective in increasing the potency of PMO-based oligomers. About BD-Tx and JPM-MCS The Joint Product Management Office of BioDefense Therapeutics (BDTX) is a component of the Medical Countermeasure Systems Joint Project Management Office (JPM-MCS) within the U.S. Department of Defense's Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense. JPM-MCS aims to provide U.S. military forces and the nation with safe, effective, and innovative medical solutions to counter chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats. JPM-MCS facilitates the advanced development and acquisition of medical countermeasures and systems to enhance our nation's biodefense response capability.

Despite a rich history as a former militia drill ground and Detroit's "Point of Origin" in the city's coordinate system, Campus Martius Park became known as "pigeon plaza" because it was useless to anyone but the birds.
Since its renovation in 2004, the park has catalyzed $700 million in surrounding development including cafes, retail shops, an ice-skating rink, and a 1-million-square-foot Compuware World Headquarters. Now the park is known as "Detroit's Official Gathering Place."
For this, the park recently received the Urban Land Institute's (ULI) Amanda Burden Urban Open Space Award. "It reflects a creative, innovative approach to transforming an eyesore into a jewel. Campus Martius Park is a magnet for investment. That's the definition of a successful urban open space," says Burden, founder of the award.
Run by the Detroit 300 Conservancy in a public-private partnership with the city, the park was designed by Rundell Ernstberger Associates LLC, David R. Gebhardt, Illuminating Concepts, Quinn/Evans Architects, Tucker Young Jackson Tull Inc., WET Design, and Wexler Studio. Detroit 300's successor company funded construction as part of a legacy gift to the city.
Detroit 300 Conservancy received a $10,000 cash prize, a commemorative statuette, and was recognized in an awards ceremony at ULI's Spring Council Forum.

| Mississippi State TreeMagnolia or Evergreen Magnolia(Magnoliaceae Magnolia grandiflora)Adopted in 1938.In 1935, the Director of Forestry started a movement by which to select a State Tree for Mississippi, to be selected by nomination and election by the school children of the State. Four nominations were made--the magnolia, oak, pine and dogwood. The magnolia received by far the largest majority. On April 1, 1938, the Mississippi Legislature officially designated the magnolia as Mississippi State Tree. Although no specific species of magnolia was designated as the state tree of Mississippi, most references recognize the Southern Magnolia, (Magnolia grandiflora,) as the state tree. Also the state nickname is the "The Magnolia State" and the magnolia is also the state flower of Mississippi. Mississippi State Tree: Magnolia or Evergreen MagnoliaThe large, lustrous, evergreen foliage makes the Southern Magnolia a desirable ornamental plant. Its flowers are produced more abundantly in southern areas than in northern areas. Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), also called evergreen magnolia, bull-bay, big-laurel, or large-flower magnolia, has large fragrant white flowers and evergreen leaves that make it one of the most splendid of forest trees and a very popular ornamental that has been planted around the world. This moderately fast-growing medium-sized tree grows best on rich, moist, well-drained soils of the bottoms and low uplands of the Coastal Plains of Southeastern United States. It grows with other hardwoods and is marketed as magnolia lumber along with other magnolia species to make furniture, pallets, and veneer. Wildlife eat the seeds, and florists prize the leathery foliage. Identification of the Magnolia or Evergreen MagnoliaMagnolia grandiflora, commonly known as the southern magnolia or bull bay, is a tree of the family Magnoliaceae native to the southeastern United States, from Virginia south to central Florida, and west to eastern Texas and Oklahoma. Reaching 27.5 m (90 ft) in height, it is a large striking evergreen tree with large dark green leaves up to 20 cm (8 in) long and 12 cm (4.5 in) wide and large white fragrant flowers up to 30 cm (12 in) in diameter. Widely cultivated around the world, over a hundred cultivars have been bred and marketed commercially. The timber is hard and heavy, and has been used commercially to make furniture, pallets, and veneer.

Rehabilitation Project Force
RPF Members in Los Angeles
Formation | January 1974 |
Type | Rehabilitation for Scientology |
Legal status | Non-profit |
Headquarters | Riverside County, California, USA |
Chairman of Religious Technology Center
David Miscavige |
Website | Scientology.org/ |
The Rehabilitation Project Force, or RPF, is a controversial program set up by the Church of Scientology Sea Organization, intended to rehabilitate members of the Sea Organization (not everyday parishioners) who have not lived up to the Church expectations or have violated certain policies. As part of this program, and in addition to the application of Scientology procedures, members do manual labor tasks around Sea Org bases. There have been some reports of overwork and mistreatment at RPF facilities,[1] and the program can take years to complete.[2][3][4]
The Rehabilitation Project Force developed out of a predecessor group, the Mud Box Brigade, aboard L. Ron Hubbard's private fleet in the late 1960s. The mud box is a small perforated screening box fitted to the suction pipe in the bilge of a ship, and is designed to catch larger solid waste before it can choke the pipeline and potentially damage the pump. The Mud Box Brigade was assigned to clean out the mud box as well as fuel lines, water hues, bilges and so on.[5] As this involved cleaning foul-smelling waste by hand, it was understandably not a popular task.
Hubbard defined the role as being essentially a punishment duty for unsatisfactory workers: "More candidates will be appointed regularly and promptly every time I find a freeloader who is loafing on post and drifting with the wind."[5] "This group is the most downstat [unproductive] and one gets assigned to it by being a freeloader, invisible on post, loafing and really goofing up on one's job."[6] J. Gordon Melton, however, suggested that "Hubbard understood it in terms of making retribution to the people who had been harmed by the nonperformance or incorrect performance of one's assigned tasks."[7]
In 1969 Hubbard replaced the Mud Box Brigade with the Rehabilitation Unit, again intended for those removed or disciplined "as ineffective or trouble." Following an evaluation, the individual was to receive a set of "specific recommendations which if followed will rehabilitate the individual as a highly effective and worthwhile Sea Org member." Hubbard instructed that "The unit is [to be] worked hard during the day on a rigorous schedule on jobs assigned by the Review Chief handling corrective areas and jobs needing remedy and repair. The Unit itself is thus made into an effective ship's review team. It works on a one job, one time, one place formula completing each job before moving into the next. Each individual thus earns the right to the remedial services he or she will receive."[8]
Finally, the Rehabilitation Unit was replaced in January 1974 with the Rehabilitation Project Force or RPF. According to Hubbard, "the RPF has been created by the Commodore [Hubbard] so that redemption can occur. That is basically its only purpose." He identified four categories of people who were to be assigned to the RPF: "rockslammers" (people deemed to have hidden evil intentions, as detected by the E-meter); people who were unproductive and scored poorly on the Oxford Capacity Analysis personality test; "repeated stat crashers", people who were held responsible for declines in Scientology organizations' productivity; and "overt product makers", people who produced poor-quality work. As before, the unit was to work on "one job, one place, one time." A five-hour study period was to be implemented each day to improve the individuals' knowledge of Scientology.[9] According to David G. Bromley and Douglas E. Cowan, the RPF involves a daily regimen of five hours of auditing or studying, eight hours of work, often physical labor, such as building renovation, and at least seven hours of sleep.[10]
The RPF was originally intended to last no more than a couple of months, where the assignee would learn Scientology auditing, if he or she was not already an auditor by the "read it, drill it, do it" method. RPF members would then co-audit each other to better themselves and make each other more ethical and productive.[1]
As punishment, RPF members are often made to wear black boiler suits.[11]
Critics of Scientology, including former Scientologists, have compared the RPF with the gulag system of the Soviet Union.[12] Leaving the Sea Org, even from the RPF, results in what Scientology calls "freeloader debt" or a "freeloader's bill": retroactive billing for any auditing received or any Scientology training received while in the Sea Org, which can run into tens of thousands of dollars. This "freeloader debt" is however not legally binding and no one actually needs to pay anything.[13] However, many former Scientologists have reported that they felt trapped by the "freeloader debt" policy.[14]
In his book The Complex: An Insider Exposes the Covert World of the Church of Scientology, ex-Scientologist John Duignan describes RPF members living in a rat-infested basement, engaging in degrading jobs for years at a stretch, while denied visits with spouses or children.[15]
Douglas E. Cowan and David G. Bromley state that various scholars and observers have come to radically different conclusions about the RPF and whether it is "voluntary or coercive, therapeutic or punitive".[10]
Castile Canyon School[edit]
One location, known as the Castile Canyon School or "Happy Valley", has been identified as a former RPF facility.[16] It was located east of San Jacinto, California, near the reservation of the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians,[16] which is southeast of Gold Base. This site was sold by the church in 2002 to the Soboba Band who turned it into a resort.[17]

Fellowes pleased with New York pitch
Groundsman Dave Fellowes says he is really pleased with the surface at the Millers new home as we hit the half way point of the season.
He said talking to todays Advertiser: "The pitch looks fantastic. I'm really pleased with the way it is playing and obviously I'd like to go through the season without a postponement.
"We had heavy showers before the match against Port Vale on Boxing Day and 20mm of rainfall during the game but afterwards there were no divots, no standing water and the ball was still running true.
"The drainage system here is one of the best in the country and although you might not notice it, there is a 28cm drop from the centre circle to the edge of the pitch to help the water run away."
Dave adds: "Although the pitch has lost some of its grass cover, you expect that at this time of year. The scars do not repair like they do in spring and summer when there is plenty of growth. In March the grass will start to grow again and by the end of the season it will look like a new pitch."
