Quarterly tax per seat increased from Rs. 500 to Rs. 600
BANGALORE: Private bus operators, who serve almost one-third of the State's public transport needs with around 7,000 buses, received a shock when Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa proposed to increase the quarterly tax per seat from Rs. 500 to Rs. 600.
The announcement comes at a time when the Government has been talking loudly about promoting public transport and discouraging private modes of transport. Even though Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC), North West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation and North East Karnataka Road Transport Corporation were allowed to increase the fares following diesel price hike from Wednesday midnight, private operators have to wait till the Regional Transport Authority of the district allows the increase in fares,.
"Our load factor has already been on the decrease because of availability of other cheaper and convenient modes of transport. If we again increase the fares, we cannot compete with other modes of transport," said Mahesh Bhat, Director of Sahakara Sarige, Koppa.
Mr. Bhat told The Hindu that the operators could have withstood this tax increase if the prices of diesel were not increased. Sarige operates 65 schedules in Chikmagalur district.
"Private operators, like State-run corporations, are providing service to lakhs of people in a better way. Nobody operates without profit motive and State corporations are no exceptions. When the government is doling out several sops to these corporations, why burden the private operators," asked Rajavarma Ballal, President of Karnataka State Bus Owners' Federation.
Mr. Ballal told The Hindu that the operators had no other option but to pass on the burden to the public.
Balehonnur-based Road Users' Forum president Shankaranarayana Bhat said the road tax on KSRTC had been reduced from 17 per cent of the total traffic revenue to 7 per cent over the years.
On the other hand, the burden on private operators has been increased. Instead, the Government should have tightened tax collection, particularly from the mining sector and value added tax, Mr. Bhat felt.
The KSRTC, NEKRTC and NWKRTC have been allocated Rs. 25 crore each for improving services in rural areas.
Lifetime tax
Mr. Yeddyurappa brought certain categories of non-passenger vehicles under the lifetime tax (LTT) net from the quarterly tax regime. From April 1, light goods vehicles with unladen weight of 3,000 kg to 5,500 kg will attract LTT of Rs. 20,000 instead of Rs. 1,200 quarterly tax. Also, vehicles used in the construction industry such as mobile crane, tipper, fork lift, tower wagon etc, which had to pay quarterly tax of Rs. 200 per 1,000 kg of unladen weight, will have to pay LTT of 10 per cent on the total cost of the vehicle.
Describing this as a clever move, a senior transport department official said, owners of these categories of vehicles were habitual defaulters in payment of quarterly tax.

Just last Sunday, Bob Stevenson said, one of the guides leading a ghost walk through Old Mauch Chunk, also known as present-day Jim Thorpe, heard a tourist ask if he was going to "tell us anything about Mary."
"Why, yes," the guide said. "You'll hear a couple stories about Mary Packer Cummings, who willed her house to the borough when she died in 1912."
Did this wealthy lady ever wear a black dress and a shawl? The person wanted to know.
"Why, yes," the guide said. "Why would you be asking so specifically?"
"Because she's standing right behind you," came the reply.
If that little anecdote gives you a shiver, you'd probably enjoy a weekend stroll through Wilkes-Barre or Jim Thorpe, where guided ghost tours are taking place this month. Both municipalities have the tours in the downtown historic districts where so much living and dying — even hangings — have taken place.
The old Carbon County Jail in Jim Thorpe was a setting for the execution of several Molly Maguires, allegedly members of a secret society who had plotted to murder mine bosses. Ghost-tour guides in Jim Thorpe are likely to tell the story of one of those men who died hoping for a reprieve from the governor. "They didn't have telephones," said Stevenson, who coordinates the tours to benefit the Rotary Club. "Someone would have to run half a mile up the hill from the train station with the telegram."
Just before the man in question was about to be hanged, Stevenson said, there came a banging at the jail door. "It's just Mrs. Sharp, trying to get in," the jailers said, ignoring the knocks. Intent upon keeping out the soon-to-be-widow, they executed Mr. Sharp and only later opened the door to find the messenger standing there with the reprieve.
In downtown Wilkes-Barre, too, guides from the Luzerne County Historical Society can point to the scene of hangings as well as to a site designed for less severe punishment. Stocks and a whipping post once stood near River and Northampton streets.
"There's no record they were ever used," historian Bill Lewis said. "But the settlers from Connecticut probably brought the idea from New England, where they were common.
"They probably served as a deterrent," Lewis said, speculating a long-ago resident could have his or her head and arms enclosed in the stocks for a period of time because of petty theft, lying or even gossiping.
In his research for this year's tours, Lewis uncovered some facts about Timothy Pickering, "a gloomy, grumpy kind of character" whose 18th-century mission was to carve Luzerne County out of what had been a much larger Northumberland County.
"His grandfather or great-grandfather was on the town council in Salem at the time of the witchcraft trials," Lewis said.
In a more lighthearted reference to witches, Lewis will be happy to tell you about area native Marion Lorne, who brought her acting skills and her own collection of doorknobs to the cast of the 1960s sitcom "Bewitched."
Another name sure to crop up when Lewis leads the Wilkes-Barre ghost walks is one Charles Betterley, who witnessed so much history first-hand that Lewis thinks of him as "the Forrest Gump of Gettysburg."
Born in Berwick, Betterley came to Wilkes-Barre at age 15, intending to work as a carpenter. "In 1862, like a lot of local folks he enlisted in Col. Dana's group, ended up at the Battle of Chancellorsville and was wounded at Gettysburg."
After treatment at a field hospital, Betterley returned to service and was wounded again at the Battle of the Wilderness, where he witnessed the escape of John Mosby, a Confederate known as "the Gray Ghost" for his pattern of inflicting damage in a raid and quickly departing.
Betterley eventually went to Washington, D.C., where he attended a show at Ford's Theater on the night Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Because he was in uniform, he was immediately recruited to help search for the assassin. Later, after serving in the honor guard at Lincoln's funeral, Betterley moved to Pottsville, where he was called to jury duty for some of the Molly Maguire trials — which took place there as well as in Jim Thorpe.

Well, how can you go wrong with a clock in year 2013. Basic clock, put the battery in and hang it on the wall. But no, product arrived not working. Sent an email to Lacrosse and waiting for their reply. DO NOT BUY IT!
this clock will keep time,but the temp. reading is anywhere from 20 to 50 degrees off.
It depends on what you are looking for in a clock, thermometer style?The thermometer meter is very small and that disappointed me. The clock works well!
Loved the look and the idea of the clock, that I could check the time while gardening! The reviews that I read before ordering suggested that it was going to lose time. I hoped I might get the errant clock! But alas, not so. Suggestion: read and believe the reviews. Overstock: pull the clock from your listings. Benefit: no***return fee!!
Overall, a fine product. I would recommend it to others.

MANGALORE: The 37th annual free mass marriage will be held on April 30 at the Sri Kshetra Dharmashtala, near here, during the auspicious Godhuli lagna at 6.36 p.m.
A press release from the Dharmadhikari of the Sri Kshetra D. Veerendra Heggade here on Monday said that the practice of conducting mass marriage was started in 1972, with the idea of sending out a clear message against the evils of the dowry system.
As many as 88 couples entered into the wedlock in the first mass marriage and 10,334 couples have tied the knot in the last 36 years, Mr. Heggade said.
The kshetra management committee would provide a dhoti and a shawl for the groom, and a sari, blouse piece and "mangalsutra" for the bride.
The marriages would be conducted according to rituals followed in the castes to which the couples belong, he said.
Harshwardhan Lodha, Director of Lodha and Company, Kolkata; Jayaraj, Principal Secretary, Rural Development and Panchayati Raj, Government of Karnataka; K.V.R. Tagore, Commissioner, Information Department; Ramesh Aravind, cine actor, producer and director, will participate in the mass marriage function and bless the couples.

More than a third of U.K. consumers bought apparel online in 2010.
U.K. consumers looking to buy apparel increasingly are trading bricks-and-mortar shops for online stores, according to a new report from Mintel.
The market research firm says more than a third of U.K. consumers, 34%, shopped online for clothes in 2010, up from 25% in 2009. The company attributes the marked uptick in online apparel shopping last year to several well-known U.K. retail chains launching or improving their web sites and to consumers' increased access to the web.
U.K. consumers spent 4.3 billion pounds ($7.01 billion) online buying apparel in 2010. Mintel projects sales will reach 4.8 billion pounds ($7.83 billion) by the end of 2011, an 11.6% increase, and 6.9 billion pounds ($11.25 billion) by 2015, a 60.5% increase over the 2010 spending level and a 9.9% compound annual growth rate for 2010-2015.
Despite the anticipated growth, challenges remain for online apparel sales, says Tamara Sender, senior fashion analyst at Mintel. "To continue driving sales, retailers need to deal better with many of the barriers to online shopping that put people off making actual purchases," she says.
Those barriers include the inability to see and feel a product before buying, and the hassle of returning goods through the mail. 53% of U.K. consumers prefer to return or exchange an apparel item they bought online at a bricks-and-mortar store, Mintel says. 30% of consumers say inconsistent sizing makes them unsure of what size to order.
Sender says e-retailers must invest in tools that will help allay these concerns. "Companies need to invest in the latest online technology and ensure that their web sites are constantly updated and easy to navigate to overcome some of these fears," she says.
Sender suggests e-retailers consider building mobile-optimized web sites and enhance them with mobile apps that help consumers find and exchange information with the merchants. She also suggests e-retailers develop their presence on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.
A detailed look at the leading online retailers in the U.K. and other European countries is available in the recently published Internet Retailer Top 300 Europe Guide.

Discussion in 'Spey Clave' started by the_trout_bum, Jun 15, 2008.
It will be all right dude.
Until next time than Pan. :beathead:
The next time you talk shit and than act like you never said anything.
Peace, until than.
Yeah... Right... seen them... Also seen Parliament in their heyday. A couple Alice Cooper full on stage productions in the 70s, and the Allman Brothers, Dave Matthews Band... Joe Jackson... Man, I can of so many folks who were so much better live... I actually have nothing against the dead, and hung out with Bob Weir a couple times on Mt. Tamalpais. He was just another dude in bike shorts reading the paper or eating a veggie burrito on top of the mountain after riding his bike up there. But the Dead Heads... Man...
Gotta love opinions...everyone has one---that's cool. I will agree with you on the stereotypical Deadhead though.
wow, total hijack. On the actual subject, there are a fair number of steelhead in all the S Rivers right now. I'm not going to disclose locations because I've spent alot of time learning the water I fish so I'm not going to spread it all over the internet. Bottom line, do some exploring, fish hard and well and you can expect to hook some fish. I would say right now, a competent angler can expect average about a grab per day (full, hard day) of fishing. I've been fishing a type VI with marabous that I would fish in winter as most of the rivers are carrying a fair bit of color at the moment. The fish are fresh, and aggressive so get after it. It is hard, but if jason is fishing 100 days for 4 hookups he's probably doing something wrong even in the worst of seasons.
wow, is the joke on us... the sequence of exchange between jason b and panhandler sounds like two boys fighting over a popiscle stick...
I was waiting for the 'just kidding' explanation.
Just kidding.
if you have been reading my recent posts then you shoud have learned that i have a new spey setup, and being new to the spey casting world, i wanted to "catch a few" with my new toy. and to clarify, i live in kirkland, so fishing the sky or snoqualmie is do-able for me to head off to and fish after work. for the most part, ill fish the methow or cascade for my steelhead, smaller rivers and decent access, the "big water" scene is newer to me, and have only been fishing this far west in the past couple of years.
and this summer? 2 summer runs both natives, but not on the spey, jsut on a 9 foot 6/7 wt. throwing a big ugly moal leech. and last winter was tough everywhere, but i did manage 6 steelhead over the course of the winter, 4 natives and 2 hatchery.
ive never fished the n. fork stilly for steelhead, but have spent many a days fishing trout water up in that area, but with the flows as high as they are, these areas aren't deemed as real nice steely water, so i was doing some research as to where to go in reagrds to high summer flows.
so far from virgin there cheif, and i really didnt appreciate the disrespectful comments.
and the easy "let down", very unnecessary. i am also very aware that steelhead fishing is far from "productive". on average i spent about 150-200 hours per fish last winter, so im fully concious of the slums and fish-less days.
so don't be so quick to judge next time please.
best regards,
the trout bum
Getting back to the thread. In general with a 2 handed rod you should be able to fish any run anywhere, anytime. The initial intent of the 2 handed rods were to be able to effectively fish high sided banks. Later, techniques were improved/invented to make casting distances more efficient.
The lesson I learned this winter is that quite a bit of *effective* 2 handed fishing will occur with nothing more than a 15-20 of line outside the tip. The basic jist of it is to look for those little honey hidy holes that have provide enough sanctuary for a single fish. While one could fish those with a single handed rod, I found the line control from the bigger stick to be the single greatest advantage I never used. Overall I tended to overlook the smaller water in favor finding "big water". So for instance, you could actually fish high sided rip rap (with favorable water flows) easily and effectively.
As for good water, the run above the Sultan bridge while crowded is a reasonable run to do both spey casting and maybe have the chance to catch a fish.
Damn, was that swinging? I had my A$$ handed to me last year. Six would have been sick!
Sounds great man! I wasn't trying to judge at all, I never said you were anything bad or anything.......
I figured you were a greenhorne expecting to "catch a few" is all.
I def. fish a lot like yourself and you are doing a lot better than me so......Sounds like you know your stuff.
Really sorry for the misunderstanding. Words tend to sound a lot harsher in print than they do in person. :clown:
Gee thanks! :beathead:
Also, that was 4 fish to hand, not hookups.
I don't go after hatchery fish, I don't nymph, and I don't like crowds.
Oh, and I don't lie about my steelhead numbers like 90% of the fishermen out there.
I know my shit and remove home field advantage and I wager I'd at least keep up with just about anyone here. But I have two small kids and I'm the primary caregiver. there's something called "Fishing when you can" as opposed to "Fishing when it's good". When you're fishing Sat and Sun, from legal sunrise to 8:00 to be back for breakfast (I live close), regardless of temps, water heigth, fish in the river:clown: I'd take 4 fish for 100 trips
Oh yeah, I pretty much only fish weekends as well.
Or, he's fishing the Nooksack.
Good point Ed. If you fish the Nooksack then you should never be ridiculed or questioned for poor catch rates. Between the sledders, poachers and horrible returns it is a wonder that flyfishermen ever catch fish at all. I have spent hundreds of hours not catching fish there. I have a better chance scoring with a supermodel than hooking a steelhead in the Nooksack, and I am married, portly, and generally unattractive.
Now the trout bum caught six fish last winter. He probably caught more than all Nookie flyfishermen combined. Good work trout bum! Keep working the same water. It seems to be working.
Masterson today,
You forgot the Tribal fishery and the rampant habitat destruction, especially on the South Fork.bawling:
Me too but I love that river. We did the Class III's :beer1n the North Fork last weekend...man, that is one killer section of the river...never ceases to amaze me.
You crack me up...now that's funny.
See you out there.
I was only able to fish one day this past winter because of personal & work reasons, but back to what I was going to say; I hooked 2 steelhead and landed one along with a couple of dollies. By far the best season I ever had on the Skagit considering the hours fished to fish hooked ratio. Hope I can keep it going in the 09 winter season.:clown:
Damn KerryS!!! I will show you those Nooksack spots if you can show me some of your Skagit spots.

I enjoyed this very much. It's frightening that sometimes some members of the legal/justice system let their imaginations affect their judgement. Interesting people. Beautiful farm land that I hope isn't growing houses now.

Bonds for medical center in Granby spark receivership lawsuit
Kremmling Memorial Hospital District was notified this week of a motion filed in District Court in Hot Sulphur Springs seeking receivership for the bond issue associated with construction of Middle Park Medical Center - Granby, according to MPMC officials.The revenue bonds were issued in 2010 by the Middle Park Facilities Corporation, which was set up to finance construction of the $20 million, 20,000-square-foot center. The corporation was established rather than expanding the boundaries of the Kremmling Memorial Hospital District, which does business as MPMC, because officials at the time thought voters would not approve such an expansion.The court complaint filed …

East Grand Schools roll out one-to-one laptops to students
Students in an eighth-grade English class at East Grand Middle School are diligently reading and responding to works of literature. But two tools are markedly absent from their desks: paper and pens.Students read from and type their responses into their new school-issued Chromebook laptop computers. Completed assignments are electronically submitted to their teacher, Lynn Bellatty, who reads, grades, and provides feedback — all without printing one piece of paper."In my time in education this is one of the most exciting things I have been a part of," said East Grand Middle School (EGMS) Principal Jenny Rothboeck.

Granby eyes water works, construction projects in 2015
As winter turns to spring and the ground in Grand County starts thawing, the Town of Granby is looking at a number of projects for the coming year.Issues with Moraine Park regarding the water system there have been ongoing for several years. Moraine Park is a portion of unincorporated Grand County located mostly within the boundaries of the Town of Granby near Middle Park High School.According to Granby Town Manager Wally Baird, the town was approached several years ago by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment about bringing the Moraine Park area up to state standards for water …

Letter: Without justice, there is no happiness
To the Editor:Sir William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England were the cornerstone of law teachings in the U.S. until 1920 — they are still regularly referenced in Supreme Court decisions, and have the force of legal precedent. The next time a public representative claims ignorance, you may now point them in the right direction.In order to understand Blackstone a bit better, here's a good web page that will help you understand the writings I reference from the Commentaries: http://www.sullivan-county.com/deism/blackstone.htm.Reading about Blackstone is all most people do — reading his actual works will prove that there is nothing new …

This Gorgeous Stained Glass Landscape Is Actually A Rice Field
The Most Important Ingredient In Your Next Phone Battery Could Be Rice
We all know how a bowl of rice can save your phone after an unexpected swim, but that's not all it can do. Before you know it, rice could be a very important ingredient inside all your devices' batteries.
Eating Rice Oozed From A Tube Sounds Efficient And Delicious
Taking some inspiration from the sucker-in-a-sleeve known as a Push Pop, Takara Tomy's Smart Han bento lunchbox lets busy office drones enjoy sticky rice lunch extruded from a large tube. It's not unlike the Sushi Bazooka, except that this contraption is designed to pump the food directly into your mouth.
McDonald's Miracle-Flavoured Rice Will Be Deliciously Disgusting
The creativity that went in inventing McDonald's Miracle-Flavoured Rice is so beyond my little human brain that I'd have to be high as a kite to understand the magic. But oh the magic. The culinary geniuses at RocketNews24 cooked rice with a Big Mac, fries, chicken nuggets, sauce and coke to deliver what has to be the most delicious flavour of rice ever.

Hey You! Why Everyone Should Own A Rice Cooker
Don't take it from me, a guy who was basically birthed, then incubated inside a rice cooker, take it from Roger Ebert, whose love of the rice cooker translated into a full-length book on why everybody needs one.

Rice Bra: The Only Logical Deterrent To Food Shortages

18 months on and my Lady of the Woods has (all by herself!) made a majestic recovery from the Marssonina betulae which she fell prey to during the dreadfully wet summer of 2012. All the new shoots she formed in late summer, immediately after the leaf drop, have contributed to something like 90% leaf cover this year, all spotlessly clean, and she is looking very healthy - and SO beautiful!!
Incidentally ... to my knowledge there IS such a thing as copper birch. The weeping variety is particularly beautiful - I only wish I could have found space for it in my garden!

With several deaths in Scotland from Legionnares disease attributed to amateur gardeners using compost, it makes me wonder about the overall safety on reduced peat and no peat compost.
Please note - while there have been 6 cases in Scotland associated with compost - there have been NO DEATHS!!!
Thanks for replies, folks ... food for thought there!
We have made provision in our new greenhouse to accommodate a heat sink - but so far have been unable to find a source of glass cullet in Scotland. Has anyone out there been luckier than us? Would be grateful for any info. Thanks
Learn to put your trust in bees. They are far more intelligent than the majority of humans - they aren't the ones responsible for putting the food source of the world in jeopardy.

Enjoy every moment!!
... and - Skin So Soft - YES!!! It's the only thing I use and I never travel without it! The day I got bitten in my own garden I'd forgotten to lather myself with it - stupid!

Thanks Bob
I needed netting which would allow pollinators in as there were strawberries in the same bed, but now they're finished and due to be moved so, after a thorough underleaf search of the brassicas, I can tighten up my defences against the pigeons which sit in the apple trees ... drooling. Looking forward to next spring's harvest - I rather fancy pigeon pie with broccoli
I also strategically placed a tray of left over 'sacrificial' brassicas which seem to have attracted some (at least) of the butterflies attention!
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere - and also sorry if a half finished version of this ends up on the forum - it disappeared from sight halfway through writing and I can't find it anywhere!
New veggie patch this year and everything is doing so well - can hardly keep up with the produce - what a year!
On 16 May I sowed broccoli and sprout seeds - both varieties were potted on twice before planting out on 11 July. 5 weeks on, while the sprouts are making 'steady' progress, they are dwarfed by the broccoli which is now 2ft tall. I'll have to stake them soon. They're Suttons seeds and not a named variety.Twice the size of Monty's, they are ..... that's a first!
Anyone else out noticed the same? Will the plants outgrow themselves and not have enough oomph to get through winter? Is it just down to this wonderful summer ..... which has also resulted in a hell of a job trying to keep the cabbage whites out - 2 layers of netting is no deterrent at all!
All responses gratefully received.

A late-night fire at a multi-family house in Rapid City has killed a woman and her three grandchildren.
The Rapid City Fire Department says the fire that broke out shortly before 11 p.m. Tuesday killed 51-year-old Marcia Rock, 9-year-old Thomas Rosado, 5-year-old Dustin Rosado and 3-year-old Marquez Hawkwing.
Rock was pronounced dead at the scene, and the three children were pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Authorities say early indications indicate human actions may have contributed to the cause of the fire. Lt. Brent Long says the investigation continues and will be a slow-moving process to make sure the cause is confirmed.
The American Red Cross helped 17 displaced people find a place to stay for the night. As many as 21 people may have been living in the home.

How To Cut Fruits
Lots of people pay about 10-15 dollars at grocery store to cut the fruits for them. Here, I am going to tell you about how to cut melon and pineapple on your own.
Cut the melon in half. Scoop out the seeds. Cut each half into thin slices. With a sharp knife, cut the peel in a single stroke.
Cut the leafy head off and the bottom too. Now the pineapple will stand steadily in a flat surface. All you have to do is hold the pineapple well and with a sharp knife cut the rough outer skin carefully all sides. Cut into four parts leaving the middle part. Discard the middle part. Chop the four parts into small pieces.
Also Known as:How To Cut Fruits
Eating fruits is a very easy task but cutting a fruit is difficult. People pay some money to grocery stores for cutting fruits. In this video, Green Smoothie Girl is telling you how to cut a melon and pineapple on your own.

It's a very simple method. I believe a lot of people don't know such a simple way to cut fruits. You need only 2 things, a sharp knife and your fruit. Thanks greensmothiegirl!

No, not the dietary kind, the spinning kind. I'm referring of course, to the way your fiber was prepared to be spun. Do you prefer carded fiber or combed fiber?

Remember Me
Legendary trombonist Fred Wesley and former Greyboy Allstar guitarist Elgin Park will be joining Robert Walter's 20th Congress for three very special West coast dates, including a stop at the historic Fillmore on Thursday, April 11.
Fred Wesley – whose long and storied career includes stints alongside James Brown, Count Basie and George Clinton and Parliament – will be touring with the 20th Congress throughout April.
Elgin Park will be playing only two additional shows, both at Santa Monica, CA's Temple Bar on April 8 and 9. These gigs mark the first time that three former Greyboy Allstars - Park, Walter and 20th Congress bassist Chris Stillwell - have shared the stage in these cities since the Allstars disbanded in late 1998.
Former Ratdog and Charlie Hunter Trio tenor saxman Dave Ellis will also be joining 20th Congress for the Fillmore date. For tickets and more info, visit the 20th Congress website.
