In his declaration for a pension, dated in April, 1818, in Bertie County, N. C., he stated that he was enlisted in Windsor, N. C., by Lieut. Thomas Blount Whitmell in 1776, and served in the Company of Capt. Jeremiah McClure of the Fourth N. C. Regiment, and was discharged after a service of 3 years, by Colonel Mebane, at Halifax. Wm. Hill, Secretary of State for N. C., certified February 1819, that "It appears from the Muster roll of the N. C. Continental line of the Revolutionary War that John Butler, a private in said line enlisted May 5th, 1776, for two and a half years in the 10th Regiment in Capt. Baker's Company and was omitted in 1779."
In November, 1820, he was residing in Bertie County, N. C.,
aged 66 years. He enlisted on or about May 4th, 1776, in the Company of Capt. Jeremiah McLayn or McLean, for two years and six months at Windsor, and in the Regiment commanded by Colonel Thomas Polk. He was discharged at Halifax. He was in the battle at Charleston, S. C. The bombardment of Fort Moultrie at Charleston was June 12th, 1776.

Scorned Dentist Pulls All Ex's Teeth Out.
Breaking up is never easy -- having 32 teeth ripped out is even worse.
A scorned dentist is facing jail time after surgically removing all of her ex-boyfriend's teeth after he dumped her, authorities in London said.
Marek Olszewski, 45, made the mistake of scheduling an appointment this week with his ex -- 34-year-old Anna Mackowiak -- for a toothache, according to the Daily Mail.
So Mackowiak allegedly did what any burned beau with a set of pliers and some anesthetic would do: she doped him up, pulled out all his teeth, and wrapped his head with bandages so he wouldn't notice until he left her office.
"I tried to be professional and detach myself from my emotions," she told the news site. "But when I saw him lying there I just thought, 'What a b-----d.'"
Olszewski could tell something was wrong when he awoke and couldn't feel any teeth in his mouth. But he said Mackowiak assured him that he'd be fine once the numbness wore off, NDTV reported.
"I didn't have any reason to doubt her -- I mean I thought she was a professional," he said.He was wrong.
"But when I got home I looked in the mirror and I couldn't f--king believe it," he said. "The b--ch had emptied my mouth."
Worse, Olszewski's new girlfriend dumped him because, well, she couldn't date a man without any teeth,the Daily Telegraph reported.
Mackowiak is under investigation for medical malpractice and abusing the trust of a patient. She could face three years in jail for the alleged stunt. Olszewski plans on saving money to get "indents or something."http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/28/dentist-pulls-all-ex...

Photo Number 220
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
10 comments:
Someone knowledgeable about old motorcycles might be able to pin the date down - The four digit plate number suggests "mid-1930" - and they do not appear to be Harleys.
One thing about "WWII" vintage cars - with the war on, people couldn't buy new models until around 1948/1949 or so... the the cars of the late 30s and early 40s hung around for a long time.http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com has nice year by year pictures of autombiles that might help you identify them (and the year of the picture)
I agree with your dad, if you look the 1942 Chevy near the bottom of this page:
I think you will find a "match". :)The person who took the photo had a good eye for the interesting. So often snapshots are not well composed or have distractions in them. This photo makes you wonder whether it was a gang of thugs or a gang of young men who left these vehicles on this dirt road. I could easily see this as a print on a postcard or greeting card, in a themed restaurant etc.
ReplyDeleteThis picture is from the early 1950s. The motorcycle on the left is a Harley-Davidson. It is either a K-Model, which was built from 1952 - 1956, or a Sportster, which was built from 1957 on. The major visual difference between these two models is the engine cylinders and cylinder head. K-Models were flatheads, and Sportsters had overhead valve engines. The photo doesn't show enough of the engine to be able to tell the difference.
The motorcycle on the right is also a Harley-Davidson, and is their largest model. Again, there isn't enough visible to make any more of a positive identification.
The motorcycle directly behind the Harley on the right (upper center in the picture) is an Indian. It is identifiable by its general shape, and by its right-side gear shifter arcing up along the side of the gas tank. I can just make out the girder-style front fork, which means that is is a 1949 or older model. There isn't enough detail in the photo to give a more specific identification.
Hi, Thanks for the comments, your input on these old photos is appreciated! I don't do awards, award me a comment! English only please! This is a word verification free blog. I can no longer accept anonymous comments.

Scandal Season 3, Episode 2 Sneak Peek: Fitz Faces Off With Cyrus and Mellie (VIDEO)
In true Scandal fashion, the Season 3 premiere ended with a bombshell. Fitz himself outed Olivia as his mistress, but his epic plan never came to fruition because the Gladiators (in cohorts with Mellie and Cyrus) got in the way. With innocent White House staffer Jeannine Locke framed as the president's mistress, "the presidency is holding on by the thinnest of threads" — or at least that's what Cyrus claims in a new sneak peek (via E! Online) from tonight's episode, Season 3, Episode 2: "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" "You need to grow some presidential-sized balls, get out there on TV, and tell the world you had sex with Jeannine Locke," he demands to Fitz. "You confirm, then I confirm, then we put it all behind us," Mellie adds. But the POTUS isn't havin' any of it. "I am the president of the United States and I call the shots," he answers as he gets up and starts to walk away. "You both threw an innocent young woman under the bus and now Liv is going make that right. So when the media calls and asks if Jeanine Locke was my mistress, you will answer absolutely not. And then you're going to tell them this White House owes Ms. Locke one world-class hell of an apology, which we humbly hope that she accepts." Not-so-surprisingly, Mellie is the first to question his plan. "And if we don't?" she asks. "Try me!" Fitz exclaims as he slams the Oval Office door. Clearly, he isn't messing around. What do you think will go down in tonight's episode? Check out a sneak peek clip of Liv handling the Jeannine situation, then hit the comments below. Scandal airs tonight, Thursday, October 10 at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.

I am amazed at how many people don't know about it. If some top ranking people in the county aren't aware of it.....why not write about it and make it a point in the paper? I know that most people feel cats are pests when running astray. The truth of it is...cats can do good too. It is common knowledge that a leash law is in effect for dogs. That is understandable.

Jayalalithaa reverses DMK regime's decision on the 1,600-megawatt project
Reversing the previous Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government's decision on the 1,600-megawatt (MW) Udangudi super critical thermal power project, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Friday announced that her government would implement it as a State sector project, ensuring the availability of the entire power generated to the State.
When the coal-fired project was mooted in October 2007, it was meant to be a joint venture project involving the erstwhile Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) and the Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL). A special purpose vehicle – Udangudi Power Corporation Limited (UPCL) – was established in December 2008 to implement the project that would have two units of 800 MW each. The project was named after its site, Udangudi, about 45 km from the Tuticorin town.
Announcing her decision in a statement, the Chief Minister said she discussed with senior officials on Thursday the factors that contributed to the non-implementation of the project. What became clear was that the project could not be executed through the UPCL. The State government would fund the project and implement it through the Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (TANGEDCO). It would provide to the TANGEDCO the project cost of Rs. 8,000 crore as equity share capital assistance.
It had been decided to import coal for meeting the requirements of the project, as the Union Coal Ministry had not issued orders for allocation of coal. The environmental clearance from the Union Environment and Forests (E&F) Ministry would be sought after informing the Union Ministry of the latest decision to import coal.
As the project was going to be implemented by the TANGEDCO, it would earn 'mega power' status. This would facilitate the provision of several tax sops, which would eventually create the scope for reducing the project cost.
Giving an account of the project, the Chief Minister recalled that the project cost of Rs. 8,000 crore included equity and debt components. As for the equity component, the [now-defunct] TNEB and the BHEL would contribute 26 per cent each with the remainder to be raised through financial institutions or a private promoter. It had been decided to tap any company for debt.
Till the end of the DMK regime in May 2011, the private promoter was not finalised.
Apart from the allocation of Rs. 32.5 crore each by the State power utility and the BHEL, no work was carried out for the project. As the Long Term Coal Linkage was not firmed up, the environmental clearance from the Union E&F Ministry was not obtained.
The BHEL's "lack of cooperation" was one of the factors that led to the non-execution of the project. A senior official says that the State government's annual contribution to equity share capital assistance to the TANGEDCO can be linked with the project.
Another official says that even though the project was originally proposed as a joint venture scheme involving a Central government entity, the Central authorities did not provide encouragement. In respect of Udangudi, they did not grant the mega power status or the long term coal linkage.
Under such circumstances, the State was left with no option but to pursue its own course as it was desperate to launch the project.

Three Atlanta radio hosts were fired Monday for a senseless skit mocking former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason, who suffers from ALS. Two of the fired hosts expressed deep contrition in the wake of the story.
Gleason: My life is awesome
The other host, Nick Cellini, doesn't seem to understand why he lost his job.
In comments to AccessAtlanta.com, Cellini said it was a "relief" to get fired.
While he issued the customary apology, Cellini also said the skit just
gave the station an excuse to cut salary and hire a cheaper morning
"That station is a sinking ship," Cellini said.
It's not a surprise that Cellini was the one who played the role
of Gleason in the failed skit. His colleague, Chris Dimino, on the other
hand, showed obvious discomfort while on air during the segment.
Dimino, however, didn't step up enough to stop the skit as it happened.
He posted a Facebook message late Monday night that is worth reading in full.
"The sheer stupidity of trying to put this as a failed attempt at
humor is not lost on me," Dimino wrote. "The words 'Should have known
better' mean nothing to me. And shouldn't to you right now."
The evolution of the NFL:
Take a look at how the NFL has evolved from its humble roots, and the efforts being made to ensure it continues to grow.
The rest of the clear-headed, heartfelt message reads like a
devastated family man who understands how a few wayward minutes can
change a life.
"I hope I get a chance to prove this is not who I want to be,"
Dimino wrote. "It was and is who 'I am' today, though. That much is not
lost on me. I have spent so long not trying to put other people in a bad
place because of me. Today I failed miserably."

Iridescence -- a key component of certain makeup, paints, coatings of mirrors and lenses -- is also an important feature in the natural world. Both fish and spiders make use of periodic photonic systems, which scatter or reflect the light that passes against their scales or skin to produce an iridescent camouflage. Previously, scientists knew that animals like the Koi fish and the silvery spider used guanine crystals of a specific size and orientation to achieve this reflectivity. However, a recent study by researcher Avital Levy-Lior and her colleagues at the Weizmann Institute of Science and York University have discovered how these structures came together through evolution.
Thanks to advanced techniques, the researchers were able to study the skin and scales intact without damaging their structure. Their findings show that while both fish and spiders used different crystal arrangements, they were both able to evolve effective structures for achieving reflectivity using the same base material (guanine crystals).
The fact that both fish and spiders were able to evolve a unique but equally effective structure for photonic camouflage is particularly intriguing. Says Prof. Peter Fratzl of the Department of Biomaterials at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, "It is very surprising that fish and spiders, pertaining to completely different taxonomic groups, independently acquired through evolution the ability to generate mirror-like reflections on their skin by depositing guanine crystals. This suggests that the solution must be quite efficient and it is, therefore, extremely promising for the material scientists to try and understand the structural principles of these photonic crystals working as (colored) mirrors."

I was hoping that this would be a simpler version of the real Greek lasagna, pastitso, but it wasn't. As it is, it's rather a bland mess. I had to alter it substantially to get something we were happy eating. First up, you need a flavourful sauce as a sturdy base for the pasta. After browning the meat and onions, add the tomatoes, salt and pepper, and extra seasonings of oregano, garlic, and parsley (a splash of red wine is not only traditional but delicious), and allow to simmer until slightly reduced and flavourful. Only then should you add the pasta and cheeses. The white sauce is also very weak: thin-looking and thin-tasting. It needs to be made with all purpose flour, and it also needs seasoning with salt, pepper and nutmeg. I give my own variation five stars, but the original is only two. Sorry!
This is called "pastisio" in Greek, and the only recommendation I can add is to double the cinnamon and perhaps use Romano instead of parmesan (stronger flavour). Greek comfort food, my mom's is my favourite food in the world!
I followed the suggestions of other reviews and halved the amount of pasta, doubled the feta cheese, and cooked it in layers. Thank you, everyone! It turned out great. I used flavored feta cheese and added spices typical of other Greek recipes I have (since I couldn't find a Greek spice at the store), and it was very flavorful. I layered it pasta first, then the feta cheese, then beef, tomatoes, and finally Parmesan. I added a clove of garlic to the beef and onion during cooking. This is also where I added 2 t. chili powder, 2 t. ground cumin, and 1/4 t. ground red pepper along with the 2 t. cinnamon. I drained the tomatoes of their juice and added 3 T. of lime juice to them. My whole family loved it, and I will most definitely make it again...soon.

Incur expenditure as per norms, says CM
Shimla, September 9 The Chief Minister, was presiding over a state-level Planning Development and 20-Point Programme Review Committee meeting here today. Since the Annual Plan size had been proposed at Rs 1,400 crore, 20 per cent expenditure should have been made in the first quarter. Unfortunately there is a shortfall, he said. Mr Virbhadra Singh informed that on the request of the state government, the Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) had been reintroduced for undertaking road construction. This will help provide continuity to the ongoing construction of roads, bridges, irrigation schemes and other social sector activities, he said. In order to ensure speedy and effective implementation of the Plan, the Chief Minister directed the minister in-charge to undertake review of their departments once in two months and the Administrative Secretary to do it on a monthly basis. There should be no complacency in implementation of the Plan programmes so that the satisfactory tempo of development can be further speeded up, he stressed. Mr Virbhadra Singh regretted that during the past few years, the performance of the state in the implementation of the 20-Point programme had slowed down, which was a matter of concern. He said all efforts must be made to ensure its speedy implementation. Reviewing the progress of the Agriculture Department, the Chief Minister pointed out that there was need to oversee the progress of the watershed committees, as there were complaints that some of them were not functioning properly. Expressing concern over soil erosion on account of indiscriminate quarrying of sand and stones from riverbeds, especially in the border areas, he said strict action should be taken against the defaulters. Mr Virbhadra Singh said the government had decided to open atleast one Industrial Training Institute (ITI) in each of the assembly constituencies and this task would be completed during the next two years. |
Virbhadra creating regional imbalances: Dhumal
Nurpur, September 9 Addressing a press conference here today, Mr Dhumal came down heavily on the Virbhadra Government for sacrificing the interests of the biggest and most politically significant district during the downsizing of the ministry by removing four ministers from the district. He alleged the government had been creating regional imbalances in the state by ignoring the interests of a particular area. All development activities in the state have come to a standstill and the government has failed on all fronts, he added. Lashing out at the Virbhadra Government, Mr Dhumal said it had worked against the interests of the people of the state and the Guler Assembly byelection would reflect its impact. By signing an MoU with the Centre, the state government had played with the interests of the youths, employees, farmers, students and the disabled, he lamented. He said by reducing funds under the drought relief programme for Kangra district, the government had played a joke on the people. Later, Mr Dhumal addressed a public meeting at Indora in his subdivision. KANGRA:
Mr Prem Kumar Dhumal on Wednesday said the coming by-election in the state was of paramount importance and the signing of an MoU with the Centre and the dropping of the three ministers from the Cabinet by Mr Virbhadra Singh would have far reaching consequences for the political scenario of the state. Mr Dhumal was talking to mediapersons at the local PWD Rest House on way to
Jawali. |
22-member team to retrieve bodies of Swedish nationals
Mandi, September 9 The team, that also includes police and medical staff, will hit the spot on September 13 in the morning. The decision was taken by experts and district officials at Keylong at a meeting chaired by Deputy Commissioner, Lahaul and Spiti, Mr B.R. Verma, after a state government chopper did the recce of the glacier this morning. Sources said a Swedish woman, who had been missing since February, 1982 had been reported to have been travelling in north India, had been identified as Marcot Lydia. It was after this that the Swedish Embassy requested the state government to retrieve the bodies. Mr Verma said the decision was taken as the recce revealed that the it was possible to reach the spot on foot, chasing the trekking route used by the missing foreigner trekkers. These bodies will be airlifted to Keylong for identification, he said. |
Power board staff up in arms over repatriation order
Shimla, September 9 The Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Employees Union has termed the mass repatriation of deputationists in the nigam as an act of provocation and urged the government to review the decision of handing over the Rampur project to it. The project engineers association sees it as yet another attempt to browbeat the government into signing an accord against the interests of the state. Moreover, when the next meeting between the Union Minister of Power and the government is scheduled to be held on September 17, such en bloc repatriation of 775 officials is uncalled for, they feel. Mr K.K. Vaidya, president of the Project Engineers Association, said the nigam had resorted to unfair appointments during the execution of the Nathpa Jhakri Project, going against the agreement and unnecessarily built an oversized cadre of its own. If at all a surplus workforce had been generated, there should be retrenchment of the appointed staff rather than repatriation of board personnel. Mr Chander Singh Mandyal, general secretary of the union, said the management of the nigam had all along been giving a step-motherly treatment to the employees of the board. He said it was high time Mr Virbhadra Singh, Chief Minister, intervened to get the repatriation orders withdrawn. He said the employees had been demanding that the Rampur project be got executed through the board. Mr Mandyal alleged that the management again proposed to shift the corporate office from Shimla to Delhi, for which a sum of Rs 25 crore was learnt to have been sanctioned. |
Tiranga yatra a divisive ploy, says Congress
Shimla, September 9 Addressing a press conference here today, he said it was shocking that in pursuing its divisive and disruptive political agenda, the party with a difference had not spared even the National Flag. He said there was no bar in the country on hoisting the Tricolour, but there was code to be followed to ensure due respect to it. The BJP had not only violated the code but also insulted the Tricolour by hoisting much bigger party flags alongside. Protesters could also be seen playing cards sitting on the National Flag, he alleged. The National Flag had not been hoisted at the headquarters of the RSS till 2002, but there was not even a murmur of protest, he added. He alleged the BJP was using the issue to further its destructive agenda and create problems for the government and the administration by arousing passions. It was not a Tiranga but dunga (riot) yatra that the BJP was trying to take out, he said. The party had not reconciled to the fact that it was no longer in power, he added. Replying to a question, Mr Sharma asserted that there were no serious differences between the Congress and the Left. The two parties had different ideologies but a common secular agenda. A committee had been formed to ensure proper coordination and the common minimum programme was being implemented in the right earnest, he added. |
Rs 6 crore for tribal districts
Shimla, September 9 This was revealed by Mr Kuldeep Kumar, Cooperation Minister, at New Delhi yesterday. Mr Kuldeep Kumar, who called on Mr Kanti Lal Bhuria, Union Minister of State for Agriculture said about 83 cooperative societies of Kinnaur and 116 of Lahaul-Spiti would benefit from project. He said the infrastructure of the cooperative societies would also be strengthened by providing proper training to the members and employees of the societies. He further said that seven districts of the state were already covered under the integrated cooperative development project, while the project was being implemented in three district of Solan, Mandi and Una. Mr Kuldeep Kumar urged the Union Minister to repeat the project in those districts which were earlier covered in order to benefit those cooperative societies which were earlier left out. |
Gang of childlifters
Dharamsala, September 9 SP S. Zahur Haider Zaidi told The Tribune that they had reasons to believe that the children were being sold to remove their body organ and then sell those to the needy at hefty prices. A police officer said the four members of the gang, who were arrested yesterday, had told the police that the children were sold to a Jalandhar-based doctor to work as domestic help. But he said the police did not buy their theory and investigations were on to explore all possibilities, including removal of body organs for sale. He said this aspect was important in view of the fact that vital body organs of teenagers were preferred in cases of transplants. He said the child lifters belonged to a particular community and the doctor also belonged to the same community. The police was working on the aspect that the lifters could be related to the doctor. Police parties have left for Jalandhar to work on all these points and the help of police from other districts is also being sought to get to the root of the racket, he said. Since a racket involving trade of body organs had been busted in Punjab, there is a big possibility that those running the racket might have started lifting children in their early teens from Himachal Pradesh. Otherwise, the number of cases of lifting of children have been very few in this region, he said. A case has been registered against the gang members in Baijnath and the vehicles used by them for committing the crimes have been impounded. The matter came to light when members of the gang tried to lift two children, Ajay (9) and Vijay (10), from Mukan Langhu but had to flee when the children raised an alarm. The names of the members are being kept secret. |
Fish farm: MLA threatens to move court
Mandi, September 9 Talking to mediapersons here today, Thakur Mohinder Singh claimed that Tata Consultancy had cleared the project when he had got it sanctioned from the Central Government in 1999-2000. The then technical committee cleared the project terming the 88 bighas at Sidhpur best suited to mahseer seed farming. The present technical committee, set up by the Congress government, is nothing but a ploy to shift the funds to Chirgaon Fish Farm in the Rohru constituency of Mr Virbhadra Singh, he alleged. He said the Congress government had set up a vigilance brigade in Mandi but it neither got anything incriminating against him nor Mr Prem Kumar Dhumal. Instead the BJP got a lead of 65,00 votes in the Dharampur constituency in the last Lok Sabha elections. Now the fish farm project has been made a target to avenge the defeat, he alleged. The former minister said the project was sanctioned by the then Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, Mr K.C. Pant, and the then secretary, agriculture, to encourage the mahseer fish farming in the country. The government should bring out a white paper on the project soon, he demanded. Thakur Mohinder Singh said the site was inaugurated by him and a small fencing had been erected around the proposed site. There was no threat of flood here as it had not been reported for the past 80 years, he claimed. |
Justice for rape victim finally
Solan, September 9 It was a moment of relief for Komal who had gone through the trauma of the most gruesome crime against a woman. Raped while having gone to the forest to answer the call of nature, it was not easy for the simple village girl to first convince the police that the doctor who had ruled out the crime in his medical report had indeed not made best use of his wisdom. The hapless girl, who had come to stay at her sisters house, was made to run from pillar to post to get her medical examination conducted. First it was the unavailability of a lady doctor at Kunihaar and later an inappropriate report submitted by an
Arki-based doctor which ruled out rape that prolonged matters. Not only this the doctors at the District Hospital here refused to conduct a medical examination when she had been brought here the next day. It was after the intervention of the State Commission for Women that Komal was examined by the doctors at the IGMC, Shimla, after three days of the incident. The matter also drew the attention of the state High Court which directed that a rape victims medical examination be carried out essentially by a lady doctor. The medical examination conducted at Shimla and the report of the chemical analysis confirmed that the crime had been conducted. The trial lasted several months.
Shortage of medical officers irks people
Hamirpur, September 9 However, the one of the medical officers has been shifted from here without any substitute and the other is on sick leave. A pharmacist is running the institution and he too is on deputation from Kashmir Hospital. About 80 patients visit the hospital daily but go back disappointed for want of medical treatment due to non- availability of the medical officer. When contacted, Dr Sudershan Sharma, BMO, Nadaun, admitted that there was shortage of medical officers in the institutions of the area, including Galore hospital. The matter has been referred to the state government for action. |
NHPC bags GPEMA award
Dalhousie, September 9 Giving this information here today, Mr S.K. Dodeja, Executive Director of the NHPC, said that the award was given on the basis of a statement of facts and the factual data presented to the World Environment Foundation. Mr Dodeja said that the world congress on environment management appreciated the major environment thrust areas and the mitigatory efforts taken to overcome the negative environment impact of hydropower development. The efforts of the NHPC for socio-economic and community development in this region were vehemently applauded. The award gave recognition to the NHPCs commitment towards sustainable development and protection and conservation of environment and ecology not only in Himachal Pradesh but also in other regions of the country wherever the NHPC was operating, Mr Dodeja added. |
Two killed in factory blast
Una, September 9 The seriously injured Jasbir Singh (35) of Nikka Nagal village was referred to the PGI, Chandigarh. According to Kishmir Singh Rana, president of the BMS Employees Union, the victims were working on one of the tanks containing gas when the explosion took place. Avtar Singh died on the spot while Anil Kumar succumbed to his injuries in the zonal hospital. Personnel Manager Shekhar Bhanot of the factory said the cause could not be ascertained. He said a tank containing bio-fuel caught fire, probably due to a short circuit, leading to the accident. He added all employees were insured. Meanwhile, general manager of the unit Sanjay Gupta said he had ordered an inquiry into the incident and added that immediate relief of Rs 25000 had been given to the affected families. |
Sack Virbhadra, says NGO leader
Shimla, September 9 In a memorandum submitted to Mrs Ambika Soni, general secretary of the All-India Congress Committee, here, he said in case the party failed to remove the Chief Minister, he would move the Supreme Court in this regard. |
Govt directed not to announce JBT result
Shimla, September 9 This order was passed yesterday by a Division Bench, comprising the Chief Justice V.K. Gupta and Mr Justice M.R. Verma, on a petition filed by Vandana Kumari. She has alleged that
allotting 10 extra marks to the students of rural background was illegal and violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. |
New SP takes charge

Ken Salazar, please rethink your approval of the Cape Wind project. Don't ruin that gorgeous view of Nantucket Sound with 440-foot windmills! There is no need! All you need is a pack of foxhounds and our energy problems will be solved.
Here is my evidence: at least 20 times a day, I give my head and neck a good, hard, shake. Anyone who doesn't want earflap burn will stay out of my way, because my folks tell me it's really, really painful. Worse than tail whiplash, even.
So Ken, here's my proposal. Say there's a pack of 40 foxhounds. That's 800 wind-propelling earflaps per day! Just think of the energy savings potential.
What's that saying about if a butterfly flaps its wings, it can create monumental change? Ah, the Butterfly Effect, so named when an MIT professor published his research in a paper titled "Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly's Wings in Brazil Set Off a Tornado in Texas?"
Now, my sister would love to attend MIT, so Ken, thinking of her future as well as the future of our country, why not try the Foxhound Effect? We could even throw in a little baying, for good measure. Ah-woooooo! Earflap power!

Ludwig Thinks Faber Should Get Immediate Rematch With Barao
"He didn't really lose this time, though, it was a bad stoppage. If he went out there and got dominated and got his ass beat or got submitted or got stopped, like knocked out cold or the referee didn't pull him away when he should have stopped the fight, then you'd have a valid point, but right now you don't have a valid point because he lost to him the first [time] in a very close fight, a decision. This time it was a premature stoppage — everybody agrees. Because of this point in particular, the way it was stopped, there should be a third fight."
"I don't think Urijah even needs to have another fight to go back to Barao. I think they should redo it, but of course I'm not the promoter. I'm not the one dealing with the P.R. relations and such, so I think what they would like to do is have Urijah do one more fight, maybe do one more fight, maybe in the summer or so, or maybe in the spring or something, do another fight, get a win and then fight Barao again in the summer."
In a recent interview with Sherdog.com, the man who transformed Team Alpha Male, Duane 'Bang' Ludwig, shared his thoughts on last weekend's main event between Urijah Faber and Renan Barao.
Is he right? Should the UFC grant Faber an immediate rematch?
6 Responses to "Ludwig Thinks Faber Should Get Immediate Rematch With Barao"
I disagree, Urijah was getting punched about. The stoppage was early but was coming anyways. And im not being a Barao nut hugger here, i wanted Faber to win the fight, he's the man! But i have to be honest and if it didnt get stopped there, i think Faber wouldve got hurt!
Agreed 100%
Ab here said what needed to be said. 100% agree.
he should get a rematch because he already ran through everybody else
I agree a rematch is in order.
Yep, immediate rematch. Faber wasn't allowed to get laid out cold or come back to beat him. One round doesn't make a fight.

Practical Issues > Factory Farm - Index > Chickens
Dec 6, 2005 See the horrors of battery cages The push for UDS to carry cage-free eggs offers an opportunity to reassess relationships.
By Jason Ketola
Our modern society doesn't give us much opportunity to interact with animals, let alone reflect on what those experiences mean. Our understanding of animals comes largely from occasional trips to zoos, childhood visits to the circus and time spent with family pets. For many of us, the closest we've come to a cow has been on road trips outside the metropolitan area. Aside from books and biology labs, we're unlikely to even see an animal on campus unless it's one of those infamous squirrels. When we lack actual experience with different beings, our understandings and opinions of them will be abstract and theoretical. But, as anyone who has experienced the death of a pet knows, the emotions one can feel toward an animal are real.
Our lack of experience with animals and the way our culture has promoted only abstract thinking about animals allows tremendous amounts of animal suffering to go unquestioned. The recent effort by Compassionate Action for Animals to get certified humane eggs carried on campus offers an opportunity to re-evaluate this culturally supported way of thinking. Full disclosure: I am a member of Compassionate Action for Animals.
Western culture has a long history of encouraging individuals to think only abstractly about their relationships to animals. Drawing a marked distinction between humans and animals, Greek Stoic philosophers argued animal languages lack syntax, and Aristotle suggested animals do not reason. They did not limit their claims to the domain of science; they used these postulated differences as arguments for human moral superiority. These abstract bases for differentiating humans and animals quickly became the dominant moral justification for doing whatever humans wanted to do to animals.
Not just anything goes in our treatment of animals today. For instance, laws exist protecting companion animals from inhumane treatment, and Institutional Review Boards require justification for using animal subjects in scientific experiments. But the abstract understanding of our moral relationships with animals is similar to that of the Stoics or Aristotle or of the later philosopher René Descartes, who famously claimed animals were mere unfeeling machines. Consider, for instance, the way youth who participate in raising animals for 4-H are chided for being emotional when the animal they've raised is auctioned for slaughter. Or consider the way vegetarians are dismissed as overemotional "animal lovers." Our culture doesn't allow us to sympathize with suffering animals or relate to animals on an emotional level without being accused of treating the animals like people.
Most of us will never set foot on a modern industrialized farm, and if we did, we might be charged with a felony because of strict homeland security laws governing the nation's food supply. Thankfully, some people have risked prosecution to document what occurs on large scale, factory-style farms. Although the footage in these documentary film frequently is graphic and upsetting, seeing what's happening on today's farm is important in reclaiming a more authentic understanding of animals. The fact is that most of us do react strongly to seeing animals suffer, but the abstract moral and physical distancing cause that suffering to continue unchecked.
The student group Compassionate Action for Animals recently began campaigning for University Dining Services to use eggs that do not come from hens raised in battery cages. In my last column, I argued battery-caged egg-laying hens are the most abused of any farm animal. To support that claim, I mentioned the standard processes of cutting off hens' beaks with hot blades, the unnaturalness of the cages which leads to sores and deformed feet and the broken bones hens suffer due to osteoporosis resulting from being bred to produce one egg each day without sufficient calcium in their feed to replace what is lost.
Rather than asking us to reason abstractly about how humans relate to chickens, Compassionate Action for Animals' campaign to get UDS to carry eggs from certified humane companies asks us to look at the suffering of the hens and to reconsider whether chickens are as thinglike or machinelike as modern farms treat them.
Several resources are easily available to the public to help us evaluate how we think about egg-laying chickens even if we can't all visit the farms themselves. This year, the group Compassionate Consumers produced a free, downloadable documentary available at www.wegmanscruelty.com , about its investigation of the farm supplying the East Coast grocery chain, Wegmans Food Market, with battery-caged eggs. The Twin Cities chapter of Compassionate Action for Animals discovered similar treatment of hens in their investigation of local farms, pictures of which are viewable at www.banbatterycages.org . The Humane Society of the United States has information, pictures and videos of battery-cage farming online at www.hsus.org/farm_animals .
For each of us, this is a profound opportunity to learn about where our eggs come from and to see the lives of hens in battery-cage conditions. Moreover, by acknowledging the suffering of these hens, we can reclaim a way of relating to animals that our culture has delegitimized.

See the difference Thank you for the Dec. 6 column "See the horrors of battery cages" by Jason Ketola. Ketola brings out so much that needs to be said but, as he says, caring about suffering animals, especially farmed animals, is largely taboo in our society. Still, this is starting to change, thanks to Compassionate Action for Animals and others like Ketola himself.
I've been inside many battery-cage hen houses. They are terrible places. The very young hens are jumping all over each other in the cages. Even worse is seeing the birds who have been caged for months. It's like they've given up. They don't even respond to stimuli.
Their combs are doughy and white and hang over their faces. Dust, dander and debris float visibly in the air, and droppings encrust and drip through the bars. The houses are so full of excretory ammonia fumes you can't stand the burning sensation in your eyes, throat and chest. To suggest that these houses are hygienic is absurd.
Fortunately, there's a ton of science showing that chickens are miserable in cages. If anyone doubts this, come see our former battery-caged hens in our yard. In less than a month, you'd never know they were the same birds! Even their doughy white combs become vibrant again. Pretty soon they're scratching away in the dirt, chomping on greens, sunning themselves and running around the way nature intended — it's all right there in their genes.
Thank you for the great article.

Find Music
If you want to... |

If that doesn't work, try... |
Begin research on a music topic. |
Summon (go/summon) |
Quick-Start Guide To Library Research (PDF file) go/askus |
Listen to something... now |
These are two streaming music services that the library subscribes to. |
Once you've found what you're looking for, details about our borrowing policies are available here.
Summon also works well, but you may get more results than you really need. For best results finding only items physically in the library, use the "Advanced Search" screen and choose "Show only: Items in the library catalog (mostly print and physical material)." You can also limit by format: Music Recording, Music Score, Book/eBook, are probably the 3 most useful ones. |
Classical music can be difficult to locate in library catalogs. MIDCAT may provide better search results if you're looking for something specific in our collection. A simple keyword search may work, or, better yet, use the "author" search for musicians and bands, or a "title" search for a specific CD title. |
Both Summon and MIDCAT will work better the more specific you can be with your search. For example, if you search for "Mozart and sonata" you will probably get more results than are useful. If you can use an opus, work, or composer's number in your search (such as "Mozart and sonata and 545") and limit to a specific format, you'll get better results.

Post subject: i have a really weird question about getting pregnant
my husband and i are trying but he has pulled out for as long as we have been together and he says he cant bring his self to stay in and ejaculate inside of me. so we started just wiping it off and its usually on his fingers and then he inserts those. weird i know. but are our chances still good this way?

Hmmm difficult to say, obviously there will be some there but I doubt there will be enough. On the journey to the egg so may sperm doesn't even get there. I would tell him to suck it up and get on with it lol.
Yes I'm sure there is a chance but I would think it is greatly reduced.

I really don't know, I guess the sperm is still going in so it my be possible.... I might be wrong but does it not need the liquid that comes out too so they can "swim". Think you might be better getting him to just finish inside you, think you need to accept its not what he is used to and he clearly has an issue with it, if you stay relaxed and patient with him I think he must be able to get over it. If you go in all guns blazing and tell him to get over it now then I think it might make it a bigger issue for him. I know its maybe a bit un PC but give him a few beers lol make sure he is relaxed, once he does it once bet it will be problem solved good luck.

There's still a chance that way but far from the best chance.
Woman on top positions are not the best way to get pregnant(but better than your current situation) so may be worth doing this for a while so you can be in control and stay on so he can finish inside you. Maybe he'll get used to it that way.
Do you think he's just finding it tough to break old habits or there's some deep-rooted psychological issue for him?

I'd say you don't stand a good chance at all
, sperm are quite sensitive to the environment around them and there best chance for survival is to be 'deposited' in your ewcm up by your cervix, the seminal fluid doesn't ever make it through the cervix but the sperm swim into the cm and then when its at it's most fertile type (ewcm)around ov time it actually has a structure that guides them in the right direction and helps them swim through your cervix, so it's actually important for your OH to try and ejaculate while he's as close to your cervix as possible.
Just as an example my oldest daughter when her and her BF started trying they'd also used the withdrawal method for about 2yrs and she didn't get pregnant once, she then got pregnant when he forgot one night after they'd had a few drinks
but she had a missed m/c, so they decide to try properly but like your OH he was so used to pulling away he was still doing it without even thinking, my DD didn't realise at first and a year later she still wasn't pregnant, she got very upset and they had a chat and he confessed what he'd been doing and asked if it would make a difference
So after their chat he stopped doing it and she got pregnant that month
(Yes she did tell me all this, she can be a bit TMI sometimes and her boyfriend was mortified when he found out I knew
So for them it did stop her getting pregnant, of course there's still the chance the odd sperm might be in the right place as some come out with the mans natural lubricant but when you think a full ejaculation contains as many as 50 million sperm and of those on average only 40 will make it as far as the tubes and 20 of those will pick the wrong tube anyway then the odds aren't great for getting pregnant with just a few dozen sperm
I'd try Kaz's plan of being on top or maybe a few drinks to get him relaxed first as someone else suggested or missionary then you can grab him with your legs at the critical moment
It might be a hard habit to break but if you explain that you're never going to get pregnant with him doing it then maybe it will spur him on to try and stop
If he really can't get over it for some reason then when you're ovulating you'd be better off collecting the sample directly in a clean plastic pot (by a method not involving saliva as that kills sperm)and then buying some of the plastic syringes from amazon (or wherever) and using one of those to put the sperm right up near the cervix, some women whose OH's can physically always have sex do that and it can work quite well, Good luck xx

I don't think you will have much chance to be honest, the sperm need the force of the ejaculation to be released right at the cervix to have a hope of getting through it and up to the egg. Thousands of sperm are killed off on their journey up there in the first place!
I honestly think the fact that he won't ejaculate in you is something going on in his mind and maybe he needs some counselling or something to get over that?? I don't want to scare you but my first though on reading this was 'boy this guy does not want a child!!' Are you absolutely sure a child is what he wants? he's not just agreeing with you because he doesn't want to lose you? I really hope that's not the case.
Don't go in all guns blazing but do some internet research and maybe find that program (I forget what its called) which shows the journey of the sperm to the egg and get him to watch it with you and he will see he has to ejaculate inside you to give yourselves every chance.
I hope you can get passed this hiccup, lots of luck x x

This may take a few posts to resolve. Does it work correctly if run from a root login and fail when run from a regular login? If so, it's a permission issue. What do you get if you plug in your usb device and run the lsusb shell command as root and as a regular login? I'm not a linux guru, but I did resolve permission issues with installing SANE drivers for a Kodak 5250 AIO printer/scanner with a USB interface. The fix involved creating and assigning myself to a group, in my case "scanner"(step 6) and creating a new rule in the /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory(step 7). Have you searched http://help.ubuntu.com/community? Ex: search "setting usb permissions" http://askubuntu.com/questions/15570/configure-udev-to-change-permissions-on-usb-hid-device. Or search "udev syntax" http://askubuntu.com/questions/50357/how-to-run-a-shell-script-when-a-new-usb-storage-device-is-detected Update:Also google udev rules, ex:wiki.debian.org/udev or reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html. As an example(from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cupsdriverkodak/forums/forum/2125778/topic/5396909)see the SANE Scanner fix below: James

Speaking at the D: Get Into Mobile conference in San Francisco, Google Mobile Platform VP Andy Rubin showed off Google's brand new Android "Honeycomb" tablet. While the presentation wasn't a thorough demonstration of the Honeycomb's full functionality, Rubin certainly teased the audience with the new gadget:
The roughly 10-inch, Motorola device was sleek, black, thin and sported an Android interface unlike any we've seen before. There was a very clean homepage, but the app page looked almost Apple iPad-like. Plus, when Rubin brought up the Gmail app, it looked almost exactly like Gmail on the iPad.Rubin didn't offer my many spec details on the tablet, which he joked would cost $10,000, but he did say it was running an NVidia dual core CPU (presumably a Tegra).Mostly, Rubin showed off an upcoming version of Google Maps for Android (which should release "within days"). It adds a new vector-based map drawing system which appeared to improve speed and map flexibility. As Rubin manipulated the map with his fingers, it changed from a flat map to a three-dimensional outline of the roads and buildings.

Safe delivery of optical power from space
Optics Express, Vol. 8, Issue 10, pp. 537-546 (2001)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (265 KB)
More than a billion gigawatts of sunlight pass through the area extending from Earth out to geostationary orbit. A small fraction of this clean renewable power appears more than adequate to satisfy the projected needs of Earth, and of human exploration and development of space far into the future. Recent studies suggest safe and efficient access to this power can be achieved within 10 to 40 years. Light, enhanced in spatial and temporal coherence, as compared to natural sunlight, offers a means, and probably the only practical means, of usefully transmitting this power to Earth. We describe safety standards for satellite constellations and Earth based sites designed, respectively, to transmit, and receive this power. The spectral properties, number of satellites, and angle subtended at Earth that are required for safe delivery are identified and discussed.
