Namdhari XI, BSF in last four
No room for complacency
The Test series is now history and both teams must be eagerly waiting for the one-day series to commence. After all, plenty is at stake Pakistan are looking forward to further stamp their authority over India, while the Men in Blue are hoping to restore their pride and confidence of their fans by avenging the Test loss. Therefore, I have all the more reason to believe that it is going to be a cracker of a series, probably as good as the one we had two years back, if not better. We are and have always been wary of Indias strength and ability to bounce back. So, there is no complacency in our ranks although the Karachi win has lifted the confidence level of my boys while bringing down the pressure. But the pressure of international cricket always exists and we know that in one-day cricket, the margin of error is minimum. If we managed to recover from 0-3 and then 39-6 in Karachi to win by 341 runs, it is not necessary that we will always be able to repeat those heroics in a one-day game. Therefore, perfection throughout the day would be the key to success. Both teams will start with an even chance of winning the second half of the series. However, Pakistan enjoy a cutting edge because of possessing more effective and utility players in Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan. In my books, the foursome are the most devastating and multi-dimensional players in world cricket today and they have exhibited their talent, worth and prowess time and again against different oppositions and in different conditions. As the captain, I feel more comfortable when I have resources like these because they give me more bowling options, provide me the luxury of changing gears at any time while batting first and at the same time keeping hopes alive of chasing any target. I dont like player-to-player comparisons and respect every Indian player for the simple reason that he is on tour because he deserves. But certainly, Virender Sehwag is a player any opposition would like to see back in the dressing room as early as possible and I am no different. He has this natural ability to destroy any bowling attack and his presence in the centre not only keeps the scoreboard moving but also unsettles the game plans of the captains and bowlers. We planned well against him in Faisalabad and Karachi, and would like to carry the same momentum in the one-dayers. But it is difficult, probably next to impossible, to keep him quiet throughout the series. He will have his good and bad days in the series, so lets hope the bad days are more than the good ones! Since one-day cricket is quick cricket, it has its own strategies and game plans which are different from the traditional version of the game. Naturally, good all-rounders is certainly one of the most important requirements and most of the times they take precedence over specialists. We would follow the same pattern we adopted against England because we feel that is the right and winning combination for us. We have Kamran Akmal to open the innings with Salman Butt, and myself, Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq and Rana Naved to bat in the middle order, and Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif to be specialist bowlers. Now it is to be decided if Younis would bat at No. 3 or Malik would bat at No. 6. I understand that we might not always be able to utilise the talent of Razzaq at No. 8, but we have to play according to our strength and ensure that the team wins. Razzaq understands that and he has responded excellently even at No. 8. I am not a big fan of the super sub rule for the simple reason that it gives huge advantage to the captain winning the toss. Either the ICC should allow both captains to announce their super sub after the toss or they should scrap this rule. I would like to see it scrapped because it is becoming more complicated for the followers of the game and even more difficult for the captains. This one-day series also launches our preparations for next years World Cup. But I want to make it very clear that there will not be many chopping and changing. I have a pool of 16 to 18 players in my mind and only they would be tried in different positions unless some exceptional talent emerges. But even those experimentations or the rotation policy, as you may call, would only be implemented once the series is in the bag. To me, winning is of utmost importance because it keeps increasing the confidence of the players and the 2007 World Cup will be all about how you handle the pressure. There has also been some confusion regarding my participation is all matches in view of my back injury. What I meant was that I will play most of the matches and will only sit out in games that are of academic interest. And this policy is not only for me but also for all the players who deserve rest because we need to protect them from complete burnout. If the players are not given calculated rests, how will the new faces get a chance to show us what they are capable of? But everything will depend on the situation. Reverting to the forthcoming series, I believe there will be more tall-scoring games because the pitches in this part of the world suit the batsmen more than the bowlers. Nevertheless, since there will be early starts in three of the five games, the captain winning the toss might opt to bowl first to extract the early moisture and juice that lay beneath the surface. So cricket lovers, hold your breath as we resume our rivalry and start the battle for supremacy in one-day cricket. PTI |
Harbhajan bruises finger
Peshawar, February 4 Harbhajan suffered a bruise on the forefinger of his bowling hand while fielding today. And we asked him not to bowl at the nets as a precautionary measure only. He will be available to play in the first match, captain Rahul Dravid informed reporters. The off-spinner has a point to prove to the rivals as well as his own supporters after having been mauled in the two Test matches on batsmen-friendly surfaces at Lahore and Faisalabad. He went wicketless in the first two Tests and was dropped for the third Test, which India lost by 341 runs. Only 10 players were available for practice as besides Harbhajan the four one-day specialists (Mohammad Kaif, Suresh Raina, Murali Kartik and S. Sreesanth) also missed the session. The quartet arrived from Islamabad just after their team-mates returned to the team hotel. They had earlier missed the connecting flight from Lahore to Peshawar following a delayed departure from Delhi late last evening, team manager G.S. Walia said. |
Athletes play truant as WADA team arrives
Patiala, February 4 On getting the news of the teams arrival at the NIS last evening, many athletes, particularly throwers and jumpers, left the campus in an attempt to avoid the stringent testing procedures adopted by WADA. The camp is being held in preparation for next months Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. A few days ago, jumpers M. Ranjith and Bibu Mathews had been hospitalised allegedly due to an overdose of dope. Doctors attending on them had confirmed that both had taken an overdose of creatine, a testosterone and a health supplement. However, senior coaches attached with the camp, including chief coach Bahadur Singh, had denied that the athletes were on dope, while claiming that the jumpers had taken an overdose of health supplements. Confirming the WADA teams arrival, the Regional Director (RD) of the NIS, Mr L.Ranawat, said the team members had stayed for the night at a place outside the campus. The officials once again visited the NIS campus this morning and again the athletes played truant to avoid the team. A top NIS official disclosed that the team members took 15 samples each of boxers and weightlifters. The national boxing and weightlifting camps are also being held at the NIS in preparation for the Commonwealth Games. Mr Ranawat denied that the team was here to take samples of athletes. He stated that urine samples of only boxers and weightlifters had been collected by the team members. A top athletics coach attached with the camp, besides Mr Ranawat, said the team members had asked for shot putter Harwant Kaur to be present. However, the WADA team failed to meet her. After attending a training camp in South Africa, Harwant was expected to join the camp today but she did not turn up. |
Shoaibs action suspect
The Indians are feeling the heat of the aftermath of a series loss. Many stories are emanating from Pakistan giving us a million reasons for Indias debacle, and more to celebrate Pakistans accomplishment. Considering Lahore and Faisalabad were dead woods, it became really a one-Test lottery, which was won by the more daring and enthusiastic Pakistanis. All said and done, all pluses in the first two Tests were with Indians. In just one game, everything tilted in Pakistans favour, making Inzamam and Woolmer cock-a-hoop. It seems all of Pakistans moves were well rehearsed and all those of the Indians were shots in the dark. Well, Dravid has no option but to listen to his critics with his ears and eyes closed. Ditto Tendulkar. Greg Chappell has work on hand. First is to exorcise the ghost of Ganguly. And then, win over the trust of all his wards all over again, before putting them through the tough grind of the fast pace of limited overs cricket. The Indians would do well to expel the thought of the Test series loss and sharpen their cricket wits on the basis of a large hearted retaliation. One way of doing that is to ensure that the dressing room vibrates with togetherness. The addition of Kaif, Sreesanth, Kartik and Raina should bring about youthfulness, which will give good cover to experience. Indian fielding will definitely be an edge over Pakistan. So the limited Indian attack will have a sharper look to it, provided the line and length factor is adhered to. Reverting to the Karachi loss, I was amused to read Inzamams and Woolmers remarks. The Pakistan captain found flaw with two tons of Dravid as an opener while Woolmer asserted Greg Chappells query over Shoaib Akhtars action motivated the entire Pakistani team. I shall abstain from the number of wickets against the controversial bowlers name. Suffice it to say for now that suspect bowling actions in Pakistan team is not something new. If Michael Holding can go on air suspecting Akhtars action and motives, then the ICC ought to sit up and take note. Remember Holding is on the technical committee of the ICC. For the one-dayers, two more suspect actions will be on display - Shoaib Malik and Afridi. I am not complaining. Simply asserting this is not cricket. The first of the five one-dayers will be played on the flat pitch in Peshawar. I have a funny experience of the cricket venue in NWFP. Come what may, the Indians have no room for excuses. In order to wipe off the misery of the Karachi loss, the Indians have to win the one-dayers. Just a reminder that Greg Chappells appointment as coach is up to 2007 World Cup. Obviously Gregs utility as a one-day specialist will be under greater scrutiny. Somehow, I feel the composition of Indias one-day team will be more precise and meaningful. Rahul Dravid too will have a message or two to put across to his counterpart. UNI |
Respect ICC, Shoaib tells Chappell
Lahore, February 4 Regarding Greg Chappells comments about my bowling action, it was all very unfortunate to hear. He should understand that the ICC has cleared me more than once and this thing has all been done and dusted for about four years and its no good bringing all this stuff up again, he wrote in a website column. He needs to respect the ICC more and understand what they have said about my bowling action. Its disappointing that he chose to bring this issue up again, Shoaib said. Refusing to take the comments made by Chappell lightly, the pacer said, I am very committed to hard work and wont give anybody the chance to criticise me any more. The Rawalpindi Express, whose bowling action remained under the scanner before the ICC cleared him, said he wanted to concentrate on the coming one-day series against India and leave the issue to the Pakistan Cricket Board and ICC consideration. Shoaib said he was happy with his performance, especially with the bat, in the Test series, as he has been working hard on this aspect of the game. UNI |
Colts crush Aussies in warm-up game
Colombo, February 4 The win was built on an impressive bowling display by the Indians as they bundled out the Australians for 174 in 44.3 overs. Incisive bowling from Ravinder Jadeja, who captured 4-17, broke the back of the Australian batting line-up and at one stage they were reeling at 108 for eight. Captain Moises Henriques offered prolonged resistance among the top order as he made 44 but failed to get support from other batsmen. Aussies were given some degree of respectability by Simon Keen (30) and Adam Ritchard (22) but the total proved wholly inadequate as India cruised home with 11.2 overs in hand. Opener Cheteshwar Pujara top-scored with 60.

Federated States of Micronesia
For the region of Micronesia, please see Micronesia (disambiguation)
The Federated States of Micronesia is a country in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. It is composed of four major island groups totalling 607 islands that lie just north of the equator about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to Indonesia, to the north of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands and to the south of the Marshall Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam. Understand[edit]Climate[edit]Tropical; heavy year-round rainfall, especially in the eastern islands; located on southern edge of the typhoon belt with occasionally severe damage; Natural hazards : typhoons (June to December). Terrain[edit]Islands vary geologically from high mountainous islands to low, coral atolls; volcanic outcroppings on Pohnpei, Kosrae, and Truk
In 1979, the Federated States of Micronesia, a UN Trust Territory under US administration, adopted a constitution. On 3 November, 1986, independence was attained under a Compact of Free Association with the US; economic provisions of the Compact are being renegotiated. Previously, the area had been colonized by the Japanese, the Germans, and the Spanish
Present concerns include large-scale unemployment, overfishing, and overdependence on US aid.
Regions[edit]There are 4 states: Cities[edit]
Ports and harbors[edit]Other destinations[edit]The remote atoll of Kapingamarangi is the southernmost island group in FSM. Get in[edit]If you are going to be in the FSM for less than 30 days you do not need an entry permit. Anyone who will be staying longer than that needs an entry permit. For citizens of the United States, Palau, and the Marshall Islands, this entry permit lasts 1 year. For everyone else, it lasts 60 days. You can get your entry permit on arrival, but if you're travelling for a purpose other than tourism, you need to apply for it in advance. Most people will need to prove their citizenship with a passport that has at least 120 days of remaining validity, but if you're from Palau, Marshall Islands, or the United States, you can use your birth certificate or an FSM entry permit in lieu of a passport (but a passport still works, too). If you need to apply for an entry permit on arrival, you must present an FSM Arrival and Departure Record. This is furnished by a carrier before entering the FSM. You will need a completed application form in addition to this. By plane[edit]The major airline that travels to FSM is United Airlines, which operates a thrice-weekly "island hopper" flight (UA155 eastbound, UA154 westbound) traveling Honolulu—Majuro—Kwajalein—Kosrae—Pohnpei—Chuuk—Guam and vice versa. The flight is fourteen and a half hours, leaving in the early morning and terminating in the evening, with a stop of about one hour on each island. There are also nonstop flights from various islands to both Honolulu and Guam. Honolulu is the most direct gateway into the islands from North America. Guam is the most direct gateway from most points in Asia and Australia, although it is also possible to fly into the islands from Manila via Palau. By boat[edit]The major international ports are; Chuuk,Pohnpei and Yap. There are inter-island trading ships based in these major ports which visits the outlying islands. Get around[edit]By air[edit]The "Island Hopper," operated by United Airlines, flies between Guam, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. United also flies from Guam to Yap and Palau. However, it is not possible to fly directly to Yap from other islands in the FSM (you must fly through Guam first). By bus[edit]Even though there are no bus scheduled service on the island, some buses are available to hire or charter. Also, on Yap there is a school bus that runs twice daily from Colonia to the villages. Taxi[edit]Taxi service is available throughout the islands and is inexpensive. Car hire[edit]There are self-driven cars available in the major towns of the islands. However, It is required to have a National Driver's License or International Driving Permit. Talk[edit]
See[edit][add listing]See the remoteness of the islands, especially Kosrae, the jungles of Ponhpei, the diving in Chuuk, and the traditional culture and stone money of Yap. There are many other things to see on these islands as well. Do[edit][add listing]Some popular activities are:
Buy[edit][add listing]Eat[edit][add listing]Drink[edit][add listing]You can't legally buy or drink alcohol until you're 21. Sleep[edit][add listing]
Learn[edit]Work[edit]US citizens and citizens of the territory of American Samoa may live and work freely in this country. Stay safe[edit]The Federated States of Micronesia is generally one of the safest countries to visit. However, there have been some reports of crime in Weno, the capital of Chuuk. Crime is certainly a problem in Weno. Stay healthy[edit]Respect[edit]Some islands are very traditional, especially Yap state. Be sure to respect their culture. Contact[edit]Mail[edit]As a Compact Free Association nation, the Federated States of Micronesia's official postal service is the United States Postal Service. For travel reasons, the USPS treats the FSM as a territory. So the postal requirements in the FSM. are the same in the other CFA nations and the US.

The last telegram
In an era before mobile phones, when even the ubiquitous rotary-dial
telephone had not quite became a household fixture, the wireless
telegraph was the fastest way to deliver messages. Letters sent by
overland mail took days to reach, as they still do, while aerogrammes
sent from overseas took weeks, often arriving after the sender. The
arrival of the taar-wallah, the telegram delivery man, was greeted with
tense expectation. Invariably, save the odd good tidings of an
examination passed or a betrothal arranged, it was always bad news that
he brought. Messages such as 'Father critical' and 'Mother expired' were
de rigueur, their spare, unsentimental phrasing conveying cold, urgent
The British East India Company established the telegraph
service in Calcutta in the early 1850s, laying kilometres of telegraph
lines across the country. In 1902, telegraph went wireless. Until
recently the wireless telegraph was the only channel of communication to
reach remote, interior villages in India. The growth of Subscriber
Trunk Dialling (STD) first, email over the Internet and later cellular
penetration dealt body blows to the telegraph service from which it
never recovered.
On July 15 Indian authorities closed the
country's telegram service, once a fundamental part of the country's
communication system. Telegraph was used for everything from taking care
of official business to reporting deaths and marriages. With the
booming use of mobile phones and the Internet, the historic service that
began over 160 years ago has now been in decline for years, and
government-owned telecom operator Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) has
decided to discontinue it.
Reuters photographers Mansi Thapliyal and Danish Siddiqui documented the final days of India's telegram service.

Harley-Davidson Embraces the "Dark"
By Christopher Brown on February 16, 2012 - 12:57 pm | PermalinkHarley-Davidson, renowned manufacturer of some of the country's most recognizable and oft-copied motorcycles, has gone "Dark". The company has created a new line of bikes, dubbed the "Dark Custom". Doubleviking had the opportunity to check out the new bikes that harken back to the days when motorcycles were less about flash and more about performance at Wildfire Harley-Davidson in Villa Park, Il, just outside Chicago.
The "Dark Custom" Harley-Davidsons: Rocking you like a hurricane... or something like that.
Don't get it twisted though, the motorcycles still have style and beauty, but with a matte black finish and fewer frills, the "Dark Custom" series gives riders that stripped down, customized look that's become very popular - without the need for riders to strip the bikes down themselves.
Industrial Design Manager Frank Savage discusses the "Seventy-Two"... and how it will kick your ass.
"It's time to make the engine the focal point of the motorcycle," says Harley-Davidson Senior Designer Casey Ketterhagen, "so we put a Softail on a diet to get the proportions back in check. Scale down the rear with a narrow tire and chopped fender and the heart of the bike, the motor, once again becomes the focus. We left a gap between the nose of the seat and tank so the rider can see the top of the motor. I like to be able to look down and see what's moving me."
"In creating the Seventy-Two, we were also inspired by the vibe of the early chopper era," says Frank Savage, Harley-Davidson Manager of Industrial Design. "Those bikes were colorful and chromed, but also narrow and stripped down to the essentials. You look at period examples and they are almost as simple as a bicycle. It's a custom style that's very particular to America and that California scene."
Insert appropriate "Easy Rider" reference here...
"I'd personally like to strip the bike down even further," says Ketterhagen, "but this is as far as we can go on a production model. The Slim is intended to be a direct interpretation of home-built customs of the 1940s and 50s, and we used a number of components that evoke that era, beginning with a Hollywood handlebar."
You can't tell me this isn't a sexy bike. No, really, you can't. The engine is too loud and awesome.
Starting at around $8,000, the new line of motorcycles is affordable and attainable for riders of all (legal) ages.
Rocker, rapper, hipster, teacher... anyone can ride!
These bikes are on the cusp of Harley-Davidson's new image, promoting riding to anyone who is interested and changing the perception that the general public has about people who ride motorcycles - that they are the big, burly, tattooed men and leather-clad, hard-rocking women. Sure, there are definitely those types, but there are also white collar businessmen, people of varying nationalities and backgrounds, parents, teachers - literally anyone who is interested can be a part of the Harley-Davidson family.
Furthermore, Harley-Davidson even offers the "Rider's Edge" training course, where they will teach you from start to finish how to ride safely and properly before you get your license.
Absolute BADASS.
If you are interested in riding, there's really no excuse. Get to your nearest Harley-Davidson dealer and get riding!!

Title: | High-Speed photographic observation of flow boiling of water in parallel mini-channels |
Author: | Kandlikar, Satish; Steinke, Mark; Tian, Shurong; Campbell, Levi |
Abstract: | The use of smaller passage dimensions is becoming more prevalent in flow boiling applications. Passages with hydraulic diameters on the order of 1mm provide higher heat transfer coefficients resulting in more compact heat exchanger arrangements. Passages with 1mm hydraulic diameters do not pose severe clogging or blocking constraints as opposed to micro-channels and have a less pronounced pressure drop penalty. The present paper explores the flow regimes during flow boiling of water in mini-channels. High-speed photography is used to obtain visual pictures of the flow phenomena from subcooled flow boiling all the way to critical heat flux conditions. The tests include one single-channel and a set of six parallel channels with electric heating from three sides of the channel. The top cover is made of Lexan to permit visual observations. The results are used to identify specific features of flow boiling in smaller diameter mini-channels. |

Then last month Sadie was diagnosed with joint problems and the Kuranda beds popped up front and center. These beds with their off the floor construction are both durable and comfortable and are ideal for dogs with arthritic aliments. I checked out the website at kuranda.com and ordered a bed that very day.

November 2008 - A bed even Dexter Poindexter can't chew!Dex, aka Dexter Poindexter is a 1 year old Beagle/Labrador mix. We adopted him 2 months ago and he chewed his crate liner to bits. Now with his new Kuranda bed, he sleeps soundly, and can't chew a thing except his chewie! He's hoping for a lambswool bed pad for the cold Chicago winter! Thank you for making a bed Dex can't chew!! Dex, Oscar & Jackie Nalls Richton Park, IL October 2008 - Comfy time out for active seniorJacob Henry is LOVING his new Kuranda Bed! He weighs 89 lbs, and broke through every other bed we've tried. He's a senior now, helping his Mom run her Cincinnati Doggy Daycare. Because he's so active and older, the Kuranda Bed allows him to enjoy some rest time off the ground, which is so important at his age, and it's SO easy to clean! Thanks! Mary and Jacob Henry, Ohio September 2008 - Room to shareMason is a 3 year old Terrier X. We adopted him from the Brooks Humane Society when he was 10 weeks old. After ripping apart his 5th foam bed in 1 year - I decided that I had to find an alternative! That is when I discovered the Kuranda beds. I ordered one for him about 2 years ago. It is awesome!! Although it is Mason's bed - he sometimes has to share with one of our cats, who also loves to sleep in it. August 2008 - Great place to recooperateThank you so much for such wonderful products. I first learned about your company from the animal shelter where I volunteer...all the dogs there love your beds! I recently ordered one for my bull terrier mix with hip dysplasia and a recent ACL repair. He loves his bed and I am so happy that he is no longer limping when he gets up. He also likes to share the bed with my whippet mix! July 2008 - Soooooo... ComfortableSadie, my English Springer Spaniel, has recently been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. Thank goodness for her new Kuranda Bed which she just loves. Now she no longer limps when she gets up. Coco, my little Shih Tzu, loves the bed just as much... so now we have two (beds that is). Colleen, Coco and Sadie, Canada June 2008 - Bunk BedsMacNeill (11) is a yellow lab and Biscotti (6) a small beagle. They both enjoy Mac's Kuranda bed, even though Biscotti has her own. This past cleaning day Mac was frustrated by his bed being cleaned and stretched out on the carpet. He refused to move even after his bed was repositioned and Biscotti chose to join her pal. We've had their beds for 6 years now and have recommended them to many dog owners. May 2008 - Best view in townHeidi is a 3 month old Rottweiler puppy who enjoys the waterfront view of her lake from her favorite resting spot, her Kuranda bed! Janet and Heidi West Milford NJ April 2008 - Sleeping soundlyHanna (left) is Angus's mother. Both enjoy their beds so much that rarely they lay down anywhere else. Angus was born at our house and that is the only bed he has known. They sleep soundly...we can hear them snoring on the second level of our home even with the doors closed!!! The bed's design is excellent, making it durable and easy to keep clean. Your customer support is also excellent. March 2008 - Pretty 14 year old Storm smiles on her comfy bedI have an arthritic 14 year old German Shepherd that I purchased the bed for, "Storm" can no longer can get onto my bed or the couch. Storm's Kuranda bed arrived today and she got on it as soon as we were finished putting it together. She loves it, she "smiles" when she is in it. I'm sure it feels great to be off the floor again. February 2008 - Theres always room to shareThanks so much for a wonderful product, Maddie has enjoyed her bed for years and I am sure Doodle will love hers also. He was just adopted on Thursday decided there was in fact just enough room to rest with her new sister Maddie. Phyllis Marvel Ridgely, MD January 2008 - Parking for TwoHere a few pictures of my cat BC and the doxies Bandit and Suzy on the bed. They have chewed up every bed I have bought for them. The cat loves to tease the dogs by playing under the bed and attacking them. They love to be warm and burrow under the blankets in the winter but they destroy them. I love the bed. I am going to order a extra large one next month for my golden retriever. Shasta Entiat, WA December 2007 - How to Enjoy the Snow!This is Lexi on her bed this morning. She is taking ownership of this despite the snow. She has one in our bedroom also, and loves them. She was first introduced to them at Yankee, a rescue shelter where we adopted her. Thanks for making such a nice product. Bob Maxcy November 2007 - Viewing the Word in ComfortThis is Scarlet O'Hairy enjoying her bed. This Irish Setter has the perfect view of the world from her Kuranda bed on her front steps! Patricia , Willows, CA October 2007 - Big Kids know how to keep CoolHi this is MeMe and Newton. Newfoundland's who love their Kuranda beds! During the summer every afternoon I would pile the beds with ice cubes and they had a ball!! Medelice September 2007 - Relaxing on a Fall dayMindy is a 7 month old Boxer and social butterfly. She loves to meet people at the door while enjoying her new Kuranda bed blending in with the beautiful fall colors of Maine. Mindy , Sanford, Maine August 2007 - A Bed for a LifetimeThis is Sam, a 3-year old, 85lb All American Mutt. After destroying many a dog bed in the first few weeks of her life, she got a Kuranda bed and has been sleeping soundly ever since. She loves her bed! Now that she's getting older and lazier, I find her snoozing there more and more. Though the bed is 3 years old, it shows hardly any signs of wear. Sam and I thank you! Erin Merrimack, NH July 2007 - A Girl Who Enjoys Comfort!Adi, my 7 month old Redbone Coonhound, could not find a comfortable place to rest while she was outside until I put the Kuranda bed on the deck -- now she refuses to sleep anywhere else while she is outdoors. Scott Baltimore, MD June 2007 - Comfortable Inside and OutLucas , our 11 month old yellow Lab enjoyed the arrival of his new beds. After he had eaten up the packaging there was nothing more to chew on! He just loves his new beds. Thank you. Kerstin Joslin-Venus |

TOKYO (Reuters) - Areas of Tokyo usually packed with office workers crammed into sushi restaurants and noodle shops were eerily quiet. Many schools were closed. Companies allowed workers to stay home. Long queues formed at airports.
As Japanese authorities struggled to avert disaster at an earthquake-battered nuclear complex 240 km (150 miles) to the north, parts of Tokyo resembled a ghost town.
Many stocked up on food and stayed indoors or simply left, transforming one of the world's biggest and densely populated cities into a shell of its usual self.
"Look, it's like Sunday -- no cars in town," said Kazushi Arisawa, a 62-year-old taxi driver as he waited for more than an hour outside an office tower where he usually finds customers within minutes. "I can't make money today."
Radiation in Tokyo has been negligible, briefly touching three times the normal rate Tuesday, smaller than a dental x-ray. Wednesday, winds over the Fukushima nuclear-power plant gusted out to sea, keeping levels close to normal.
But that does little to allay public anxiety about an ailing 40-year-old nuclear complex with three reactors in partial meltdown and a fourth with spent atomic fuel exposed to the atmosphere after last Friday's earthquake and tsunami.
"Radiation moves faster than we do," said Steven Swanson, a 43-year-old American who moved to Tokyo in December with his Japanese wife to help with her family business.
He is staying indoors but is tempted to leave. "It's scary. It's a triple threat with the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear radiation leaks. It makes you wonder what's next."
A number of major events have been cancelled, including the World Figure Skating Championships, Japan Fashion Week and the Tokyo International Anime Fair whose organisers cited "extreme circumstances."
Some foreign bankers, flush with money, are fleeing fast, some on private jets. BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered and Morgan Stanley were among banks whose staff have left since Friday, according to industry sources.
Thousands of people have inundated private jet companies with requests for evacuation flights, sending prices surging.
"I got a request yesterday to fly 14 people from Tokyo to Hong Kong ... they did not care about price," said Jackie Wu, chief operations officer at Hong Kong Jet, a newly established private jet subsidiary of China's HNA Group.
A chartered plane from Tokyo to Australia, one way, was $265,000 (164,678 pounds), 20 percent higher than usual, he said.
Mike Walsh, chief of Asia Jet, said they had run three evacuation flights to Hong Kong from Tokyo by early Wednesday.
Electronics shops are selling out of small, portable Geiger counters that measure radiation. Strawberry Linux, a Tokyo-based company, is out of stock, said its owner, Masahiro Ochiai.
Some areas of Tokyo were hit by rolling blackouts and reduced train services as the nuclear plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co, struggled to make up for a drop in power capacity.
At Sony Corp's headquarters in Tokyo's Shinagawa district, only 120 staff of the usual 6,000 were working. Staff were told to stay at home as much as possible due to difficulties with train transportation, said Sony spokeswoman Mami Imada.
In Akasaka, normally packed with office workers, sushi restaurants and noodle shops, streets were quiet into the night when the area usually becomes a neon-lit entertainment district.
"Akasaka has been dead quiet since the quake. We should be thankful we are alive but if this continues, the economy will be a disaster," said Akihiro Sumitani, owner of a shop that sells kitchen utensils.
"I seriously worry how many shops can survive."
People stocked up food, milk and other supplies, emptying some shelves at convenience stores and supermarkets. Some residents towed suitcases. Thousands showed up at nearby airports without tickets, hoping to book flights out of Tokyo.
Anthony Blick, an expatriate in Tokyo working from home since the earthquake, said he would prefer to leave.
"I'm worried about the nuclear reactors in Fukushima. There's a lot of information out there but unfortunately a lot of it is conflicting. Ideally, I would like to get out of Japan but that isn't practical at the moment."
Many schools were closed, but one mother interviewed outside an open kindergarten said she preferred her children in school.
"I want them to do everything that we are allowed to do as long as it is safe," she said. "If I show them that I'm nervous, my children will get nervous."

LJP on Wednesday made a strong pitch for implementing the recommendations of the Ranganath Mishra Commission report, which has advocated reservation for Muslims.
Addressing a rally held jointly with the Peace Party and Bharitya Samaj Party in the Muslim-dominated Parliamentary constituency, LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan also sought a ban on the RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal.
"17 years after the demolition of Babri mosque, the Liberhan Commission submitted its report indicting the BJP leaders for the demolition. However, not a single leader has been punished so far ... There should be a ban on RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal," the former Union Minister said.
He added that after the Sachchar committee explained the socio-economic condition of Muslims as similar to dalits, another commission headed by Ranganath Mishra recommended reservation for Muslims and scheduled caste status to dalits among Muslims.
"But Mishra commission report has not been implemented till date. Reservation should be there for the minorities," he said.
The LJP leader also attacked the UP chief minister, alleging Ms. Mayawati was discriminating among dalits.
Mr. Paswan said the BSP supremo changed her slogan from 'bahujan' to 'sarvjan' but the hopes generated after her coming to power have now evaporated and dalits were disappointed.
LJP is trying to consolidate muslim and dalit votes in Eastern UP and Mr. Paswan is set to address two more rallies in the coming days.

The rest of the stuff is snake oil IMHO... I just finished two boats hit last summer. Both were newer boats with primary / secondary lightning bonding to ABYC standards. Neither had ANY hull damage, everything else was toast..
Our boats also had ZERO hull damage when hit but 25k in electrics...
You CAN NOT prevent a strike only try to guide it to ground as best you can. My only goal with lightning is to minimize hull damage as best I can....
A primary lightning bond is about $8.00 of wire for a keel stepped mast, maybe $30.00 for a deck step...
For an encapsulated keel this would be how I would do it...
Copper bar stock...Minimal drag, low cost, lots of edge surface...
Good,,,we agree
I am grounded from the mast show the same way to a keel boat with a large diameter ( either # or #1 wire) and I actually have a Newmar Ground shoe and its about 16-18". I noticed your plate was feet long. Is that suggested?

Federal Drive interviews - Aug. 17
Friday - 8/17/2012, 10:03am EDT
Nicholas Jones — Chief, Racial Statistics Branch, U.S. Census Bureau
The Census Bureau is testing a new way to measure the color of America. It is updating a key race and Hispanic origin questionnaire for the first time in more than a decade. Jones tells reporter Jason Miller about the results from changes piloted in the 2010 population count.
John D. Graham — Dean, Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs
In a six-minute YouTube video, Cass Sunstein gives a professorial summary of his tenure as administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. OIRA may not be a household name. But it's how the White House keeps its thumb on one of the most potent functions federal agencies have -- the power to write regulations. For an assessment of Sunstein's tenure, we turn to a former OIRA chief. Graham was the OIRA administrator in the George W. Bush administration from 2001-2006.
Barbara Cunningham — Deputy Director of the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, EPA
The Federal Electronics Challenge gives recognition to federal agencies who dispose of old equipment in the most recycling, non-polluting way possible. This years winners have just been named. They're good not just at disposing smartphones and monitors, but also having excellent policies in place to make sure they buy the greenest equipment in the first place.
Ed Zurndorfer — Registered Employee Benefit Consultant
The Office of Personnel Management released a memo this week detailing new guidelines for partial retirements for federal workers. The guidelines are intended to make phased retirement more attractive.
Chuck Taylor — Principal Investigator, Game Changing Development Program, NASA
Solar electricity could one day propel NASA spacecraft to asteroids, Mars or beyond. The agency has chosen two companies to develop powerful solar-arrays for electric propulsion in space. Taylor discusses how this project positions NASA for its next move.

Does anyone know the steps of the hiring process for dekalb county fire department?
Printable View
Does anyone know the steps of the hiring process for dekalb county fire department?
I was laid off from DeKalb approx 2 years ago. Great department, county is just not run very well. I would say this would not be the most stable job at the time. I doubt they are even hiring.
breese, i'm sorry to hear that. I remember hearing that in the news. Did you end up at ATL?
I saw their announcement opened up from March 18-20. Anyone know if they're hiring? and why such a small window?
Dekalb as other departments has had their issues through this difficult enconomic times. It sucks that they had to lay off some of the best recruits trained in the past 10 years. The department still has some great people working for it and are looking for some more. We have a traditional pension, one of the last in metro Atlanta and a liberty day( kelly day) every 9th shift. Only the city of Atlanta fights as much fire as we do. Some of the best spec apparatus equipment in the Metro area. Highest pay no. The best experince and opportunity with a young department. I am not sure why they have such a short window, but if interested don't wait, apply then consider your options. Message me if you have questions, I am a Captain on "A" shift.
I also work on A shift. I stay at Dekalb because I love to fight fire, and we're one of the last departments around that still does, and does it well. A good many of us have part or full time jobs to make up for it.
The process is probably about the same as when I came on. Written test, physical fitness test, background check, interview, offer. When they want to, they can make it really quick. They no longer do a voice stress or polygraph test. I don't think there's a psych eval anymore, either.
I read in the news(we all know how reliable that is) that they are looking to hire 44.
44 is the correct number. They are actually attempting to contact some of the personnel that were laid off, and then hire the rest. The first academy should have 25 recruits in it.
Thanks for the info! Does Dekalb hire from out of state? I'm up from NY and work as a career firefighter at an industrial plant, but would love to work for Dekalb!
The 72 hour application period has closed. Who all put in for Dekalb?
I put in my app. I havent decided if im going to make the trip from texas to dekalb. Anyone know if they give preference to people with cert and when does the academy start.
I believe it said on the posting that previous experience and certifications would be considered.
I put in for dekalb. Hopefully we hear back soon. Good luck to those who applied
I don't know if it's safe to assume the process will move any quicker since the application window was very short. Typically, the postings are open for a bit longer, but I may be looking too far into it. Best of luck to all involved!
We got the approval for 44 recruits before the app process opened. It has closed now and a total of 880 applied. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
In the past, Dekalb has hired from as far away as Alaska. In the past, they've recruited heavily from midwestern/northern states where medics are abundant, and fire jobs are limited. Michigan, Ohio, etc.
Anything they are specifically looking for? Paramedic,Emt-A,Fire 1&2? Saw where it said all certs. will be considered. On the fire side if you are already certified will they be an abbreviated academy or do they make you go through all of the Fire stuff again like they have done in the past? Thanks.
Does Dekalb test? Or do they just accept resumes and interview like Gwinnett?
Certs will look good in the process, seeing as you already have experience, but they are not preferred. They make everyone go through our fire academy regardless of previous FF training. The only difference there will be is if you are already a EMT-A or Paramedic. Is so, then you will not go through the EMS portion of the academy.
The process goes as such:
-Written test
-Physical test
-Background check
-Medical Evaluation
-Job Offer
I recieved my written test date for april 5th by email. Didnt know it was going to be so soon. Tickets are expensive
Hmm I've not received anything through email. Unfortunately, one of the guys I work with is off that day so my department most likely won't approve any time off that day.
Yea that is really soon. I have not heard anything yet either, has anybody else?
I recieved my test date for 3 April.

In the end, the various obstacles that the LionsXII faced prevailed over the Singaporean team as they bowed out of the Malaysia Cup on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the end of full time and extra time.
Before the game, the suspensions to Safuwan Baharudin and Irwan Shah meant fringe player Abdil Qaayim and Yasir Hanapi had to slot in at the back.
The LionsXII coped with that makeshift defence well in the first half as they took the lead on 27 minutes after some good work from the frontmen on the counter.
A ball down the right channel saw captain Shahril Ishak square the ball across the box for the unmarked Agu Casmir whose first-time shot looped over ATM FA goalkeeper Farizal Harun to the delirium of the 200 travelling fans.
Stung by that setback, the hosts came out to attack but Baihakki Khaizan and Abdil stood strong at the back to deny the twin threats of Marlon James and Bruno Martelotto.
The closest they came to scoring was on the stroke of half time when Aidil Zafuan's header was plucked onto the post by Izwan Mahbud, with Abdil clearing the danger before Hairuddin Omar could pounce.
Lions XII suffered a setback early in the second half when goalscorer Agu had to come off after sustaining an injury while going for a rebound from Shaiful Esah's deadball.
That meant they lost their focal point of the attack with substitute Khairul Amri coming on.
Other than a couple of scuffed shots from Shahdan and Safirul, it was total domination for ATM from then on.
The home side began to get the benefit of 50-50 decisions, getting many deadball situations in dangerous areas, from referee Shamsudin Ibrahim as the game got heated towards the end.
After having a penalty claim turned down on 63 minutes, previously subdued James also began to come alive to be a constant nuisance in the closing stages.
A long-range belter was well-held by Izwan, a fierce 20-yard freekick was palmed away while a left-footed shot from a tight angle came back off the post with Omar just missing contact at the far post.
Martelotto also cushioned a volley wide from substitute Venice Elphi's cutback.
Rookie Abdil then felt the exertions and had to be replaced by Madhu Mohana 12 minutes before the end as ATM continued to pile on the pressure.
Omar was guilty of missing again as well as he fired just wide while Elphi's close-range shot after cutting inside was deflected over.
It looked like the LionsXII were fated for the final and would survive the barrage of attacks with the clock edging towards the end of the five minutes of injury time awarded.
However the game was allowed to go on all the way until 96 and a half minutes when a Zaquan Adha inswinging cross picked out the head of James, whose towering header went over the reach of the rooted Izwan.
With the scoreline identical to the one at Jalan Besar Stadium last Friday, that meant another 30 minutes to endure for Lions XII, who had already brought off captain Shahril for Jumaat Jantan.
Things became even worse five minutes into extra time when Isa Halim was sent off for a second bookable offence due to an off-the-ground challenge on Zaquan.
However, credit to them, the clearly exhausted remaining 10 men did well to shut out the hosts' threat with Hariss Harun switched to the back to partner Baihakki.
The only time they slipped up was on 117 minutes when James sneaked in between them before letting fly but Izwan denied him with a point-blank save.
Eventually the match had to be decided by the dreaded loterry of penalty shootout.
Lions XII got the initial advantage when Izwan guessed the right way to foil Aidil Zafuan, keeping the scores on 1-1.
However that edge was erased when Farizal pushed Shaiful Esah's penalty onto the post to keep the score on 3-3 before the respective team's fifth kicks.
Martelotto and Izwan then converted their penalties to send the affair into sudden-death.
Baihakki could have been the hero after Varathan Arumugam's effort clipped the bar and went over, however he could only produce a low shot towards his right that was easily touched away by Farizal.
Someone has to be the villain in this never-ending shootout and it was unfortunate that Yasir had to be the one.
Taking responsibility after Fitri Omar's converted kick, his shot came off the left-hand post and to safety, resulting in a tearful ending for the LionsXII's maiden Malaysia Cup campaign.
ATM FA will now go on to the Final on October 20, where they will face either Kelantan or Selangor who play tomorrow.

EPA wants deep cut in state's carbon emissions from power plants
Published: June 2,2014
Tags: Brandon Presley, carbon dixide, Chuck Barlow, coal, electricity, emmissions, energy, Entergy Corp., environment, federal government, Jeannice Hall, Kemper County, Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Mississippi Power Co., Obama Administration, pollution, power, Power plant, Public Service Commission, South Mississippi Electric Power Association, Southern Co., Tennessee Valley Authority, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, utility
WASHINGTON — The federal government is proposing that Mississippi's carbon dioxide emissions from power plants be 38 percent lower by year 2030 compared to 2005.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced specific targets for all states today as part of the Obama administration's effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions nationwide.
Mississippi's 2012 carbon emission rate was 1,130 pounds per megawatt hour of energy produced. The EPA wants a state plan to lower its emission rate to 692 pounds per megawatt hour.
Mississippi would choose how to meet that goal and could work with other states to comply. The goals are based in part on some coal-fired power plants already expected to close.
According to the EPA, Mississippi got about 13 percent of its electricity from coal in 2012. Some of the state's utilities, though, are more heavily dependent on coal. Mississippi Power Co., a unit of the Atlanta-based Southern Co., generated 39 percent of its power from coal in 2013. It owns coal plants in Escatawpa, Gulfport and Meridian, as well as a share of one near Demopolis, Alabama. Southern Co. also owns a coal-fired plant near Ackerman that's operated by a contractor and sells power on the wholesale market.
Southern said EPA oversteps its authority in today's announcement.
"EPA's proposed emission guidelines appear to be based on reduction measures that extend well beyond Clean Air Act requirements and infringe upon states' authority to determine the best approach for their own generating sources," spokeswoman Jeannice Hall wrote in a statement.
Mississippi Power is spending more than $5 billion on a plant in Kemper County that would gasify lignite, stripping out carbon dioxide and other gases. EPA has pointed to that plant as a model for new plants, but Southern has said Kemper has advantages that may not be replicable elsewhere. Today's announcement deals with existing power plants.
Also affected would by Hattiesburg-based South Mississippi Electric Power Association, which sells power to cooperatives. It derived 38 percent of its power from coal in 2013 and owns a coal-burning plant near Purvis.
Some other utilities, though, have already been working to limit carbon emissions. Entergy Corp, Mississippi's largest private utility, voluntarily capped its carbon dioxide emissions and said it has cut emissions by 42 percent since 2000.
"We think we are in a good position because we have a lot of nuclear, a lot of gas and a little bit of coal," said Chuck Barlow, vice president of environmental strategy and policy for Entergy Corp.
The Tennessee Valley Authority says system-wide carbon emissions are currently 30 percent below 2005 levels — and are projected to be 40 percent below 2005 levels by 2020.
Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley, a Democrat who represents the Northern District, said he would ask the other two commissioners at a meeting tomorrow to make sure the Mississippi regulatory body makes comments on the rules.
"My initial response is these types of regulations, like we've seen in the past, are only going to increase the cost of electricity," Presley said. "Any time there's a federal mandate related to environmental costs, someone has to pay for it."
The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality didn't respond to requests for comment.

London Restaurant Installs Nightmare Worthy Art to Glare Down at You Over Dinner
There's a new restaurant in a trendy corner of London called the Tramshed. Their gimmick is that their simple menu completely revolves around steak and chicken. Via: Damien Hirst If that face doesn't make you want to choke down a steak or some roast chicken, we don't know what will.
So to celebrate this they decided to install a giant Damien Hirst art piece: A massive tank filled with formaldehyde and a preserved "Cock and Bull." As you can see from the video below, you'll enjoy your delicious dry-aged steak while a preserved bovine glares down at you with slightly googly eyes. His eternal chicken companion silently judging your husband for ordering the Yorkshire pudding with chicken liver.
Given how proud the owner sounds when talking about the piece and how it really ties the room together, we're a little surprised that it wasn't installed in such a way that it could slowly rotate during the course of a meal. That way all diners in the establishment could appreciate from all angles.
If "Cock and Bull" triggered deep repressed memories of Tarsem Singh's "The Cell" you're not crazy. Damien Hirst's work served as a direct inspiration for the now notorious Horse Scene.

By Signe Wilkinson —
"The Simpsons" hasn't been funny since Bill Clinton was president, but in its prime nothing was better. Now in season 23, the show just aired its 500th episode. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange guested, taping his lines from England.
For the second straight week, "The Simpsons" mocked Fox News, but the gag is mysteriously absent from the show's online versions. After all these years has Rupert Murdoch finally had enough, or is this just a case of the randoms?
Although it has now been not funny longer than it was the best show on television (or ever?), "The Simpsons" is still finding ways to stay innovative. This guest title sequence, overseen by brilliant street artist Banksy, self-reflexively addresses accusations of slave labor against the show.
A study published in The Lancet medical journal concludes that the effects of alcohol should be viewed in the same light as the effects of smoking. Alcohol consumption is linked to one in every 25 deaths worldwide, the study said.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, said Friday there was no fraud in last week's presidential election and demanded an end to massive street protests. He warned that political leaders supporting such protests—words aimed directly at losing candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi—would be responsible for any violence.
"Simpsons" creator Matt Groening can take some creative license with his characters' back stories, as in this clip, which shows Marge and Homer Simpson—still in college as they anticipate the end of the '90s—predicting that Bill Clinton will certainly be seen as the worst president in U.S. history for "lying in a deposition in a civil lawsuit." Well ... maybe not.
The "Countdown" host stopped by the Simpson household this week to convince Marge to stop skipping commercials with her TiVo.
In a satirical match made in heaven, Stephen Colbert appears in cartoon form on "The Simpsons" season premiere. Meanwhile, "Family Guy" takes a jab at the Bushies (and Limbaughs) of the world on its own season debut—featuring a "Star Wars" send-up, just to add that much more comical catnip to the mix for the show's loyal target demographic.
"The Simpsons" has never shied away from biting the hand that feeds it, but in its 400th episode—heavily promoted by the network—the show went for a two-fer, mocking both the low-brow Fox and the propagandistic Fox News.
Our collection of favorite videos this week includes Sen. Chuck Schumer nailing the Bush administration on the firing of U.S. attorneys, the Discovery Channel drooling over a weapon that kills Americans, and "The Simpsons" dressing down Fox News.
"The Simpsons" has never shied away from biting the hand that feeds it. In this classic clip, the show eviscerates Fox News in what may be the greatest ever indictment of the network. It's worth watching multiple times just to take in the "crawl."
This week, our collection of Truthdig-flavored videos includes GOP senators grilling Condi on Bush's troop escalation plan; a brutally ironic film reminding us that Saddam Hussein was a 40-year CIA asset; and "The Simpsons" on global warming.
As usual, "The Simpsons" cuts to the quick of the global warming "debate."
This week, our favorite assemblage of videos includes: HBO's revelatory documentary "Hacking Democracy"; a shocking video of a UCLA student being repeatedly Tasered by campus police; and Truthdig Editor Robert Scheer sounding off on Joe Lieberman, Bernie Sanders and O.J. Simpson.
"The Simpsons" takes a shot at the unsavory tactics of Army recruiters, always on the lookout for new blood to fight in "America's next unresolvable conflict."
In this clip from the most recent "Simpsons" Halloween special, two outer-space aliens spar over the wisdom of destroying Earth over the dubious claim that its inhabitants were developing weapons of "mass disintegration." Good stuff. Watch it.
From the BBC
The BBC takes a look at the philosophy of the show: "It's not that the Simpsons is atheist propaganda; its main target is not belief in God or the supernatural, but the arrogance of particular organised religions that they, amazingly, know the will of the creator."
Fox via CNN
OK, OK, we know that it's a waste of breath of get exercised over the ignorance educational quirks of the American populace, but get this: Only one in four people can name more than one First Amendment freedom, while half of people in a poll can name at least two "Simpsons" family members.

Abbeycwmhir or Abbey Cwmhir (Welsh: Abaty Cwm Hir, "Abbey in the Long Valley") is a village in the valley of the Clywedog brook in Powys, Wales.
The Abbey[edit]
The village is named after Cwmhir Abbey, the Cistercian abbey built there in 1143. It was the largest Abbey in Wales but was never completed. Its fourteen bay nave was longer than Canterbury and Salisbury Cathedral naves and twice as long as that at St. Davids. It was a daughter house of Whitland Abbey, and constructed at the behest of three sons of Madog, the then Prince of southern Powys. The first community at Dyvanner (Welsh: Ty faenor, "Manor House") failed because of the intervention of Hugh de Mortimer, Earl of Hereford but in 1176 the Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth re-established the Abbey on land given by Cadwallon ap Madog. Llewelyn ap Gruffudd is buried near the altar in the nave. The abbey was burned by the forces of Owain Glyndŵr in 1401. At the Dissolution of the Monasteries in March 1537 only three monks lived in the abbey.[2]
The Abbey was slighted in 1644, during the English Civil War, although some ruins still remain. There is a memorial stone to Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the last native Prince of Wales of direct descent, whose body is buried there.[2]
Places of note[edit]
- The village church of St Mary was rebuilt in the neo-Byzantine style by Mary Beatrice Philips in 1866. She was a grand daughter of Francis Philips who purchased the Abbeycwmhir estate in 1837 with money from the cotton-trade. It replaced a church built in 1680. Soon after the Victorian church was built, the Rev. Francis Kilvert visited.
- The Happy Union Inn is a grade II listed building. The age of the building is something of a mystery together with its name and unusual pub sign. The present owner is the 3rd generation of his family to run the pub.
- Abbey Cwmhir Hall: an Elizabethan-style house built in 1833 by Thomas Wilson, a London lawyer who had purchased the 3000 acre Abbeycwmhir estate. The hall replaced a smaller Tudor-style house. It is open to the public.[3]

August 30th, 2010HOW LEARNING TO SWIM (AND STICKING WITH IT) CAN CHANGE YOUR OVERALL WELL BEING
Poolsearch .org
by Rochelle Belsito
If you suffer from chronic pain, swimming may be your answer as water relieves the stress on muscles and joints. In water, humans weigh one-tenth of their actual body weight and, therefore, exercise can cause less strain. The buoyancy of the water also helps since it lets you glide across the surface rather than remain with your feet planted on the ground…….

English: Jules (Émile Frédéric) Massenet (May 12, 1842 – August 13, 1912) was a French composer best known for his operas. His compositions were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. However, his style fell out of favor after his death and, except Manon, his works were rarely performed. Since the mid-1970s, many of his operas have seen periodic revivials
