Sivaji Productions, formed by Sivaji Ganesan nearly 50 years back, which came up with the Hindi film "Amar Deep" (1958) and a few other Hindi and Tamil films, has now produced a Hindi film "Delhii Heights," after 45 years. The film releases tomorrow. Remember last week Sivaji Productions' Rajnikanth-starrer "Chandramukhi" became the longest running film (709 days and still running at Shanti in Chennai) in Tamil film history. "Delhii Heights," a typical new wave multiplex film, written and directed by Anand Kumar, features Jimmy Shergill, Neha Dhupia, Om Puri and Madhavan, who appears in a cameo. Sivaji Productions bosses Ram Kumar and Prabhu feel that "Delhii Heights" may give their banner a new lease of life in Bollywood.SREEDHAR PILLAI

Q: I'd like to slowly establish a romantic relationship. I have been in treatment for anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder for 21 years. I have joined interest groups and tried online dating sites, but haven't found too many people who are reasonably intelligent (I'm in the top 5 percent), don't want to travel, enjoy deep conversation, and can accept a partner who will never lose the "baggage," which can be expected with chronic mental illness.

Clayton County schools plan public hearings tomorrow on a proposal to change start and dismissal times for classes.
The first hearing will be held at noon, with the second at 7 p.m. at the boardroom in the administrative complex in Jonesboro.
The new start times would be 15 minutes earlier for elementary schools. Middle schools would start 20 minutes later, and high schools would start 15 minutes earlier.
Dismissal times would change to compensate for the changes in start times.
School officials say they want to change start times to reduce the need for more bus drivers, buses and fuel.
The school board for the system south of Atlanta is expected to consider the change in start times at its meeting next Monday.

Union Agriculture MInister Sharad Pawar has been under fire from the opposition over rising prices. BSP chief Mayawati and the RLD even called for his resignation. Mr. Pawar responded, saying his ministry had nothing to do with inflation and that agricultural produce alone was under his ambit.
Under attack for his recent observations on price rise, Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on Friday wondered as to how his Ministry could be linked with the issue.
"I do not understand how Ministry of Agriculture is concerned with price level. It is supposed to concentrate on agriculture produce," he said talking to media persons on the sidelines of a function here.
Mr. Pawar, reacting to the criticism over his statements in respect of sugar and milk prices, said for the first time in last 40 years he had come across such linking of price level with the Agriculture Ministry.
He said the Ministry had taken care of the role assigned to it and made provisions of necessary food stock of wheat and rice despite drought-like situation in 312 districts in the country.
Keywords: Agriculture Ministry, Sharad Pawar, price rice, wheat, rice, sugar, milk

2:2 There is none holy like Jehovah, For there is none save Thee, And there is no rock like our God.
2:3 Ye multiply not -- ye speak haughtily -- The old saying goeth out from your mouth, For a God of knowledge `is' Jehovah, And by Him actions are weighed.
2:4 Bows of the mighty are broken, And the stumbling have girded on strength.
2:5 The satiated for bread hired themselves, And the hungry have ceased. While the barren hath borne seven, And she abounding with sons hath languished.
2:6 Jehovah putteth to death, and keepeth alive, He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up.
2:7 Jehovah dispossesseth, and He maketh rich, He maketh low, yea, He maketh high.
2:8 He raiseth from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He lifteth up the needy, To cause `them' to sit with nobles, Yea, a throne of honour He doth cause them to inherit, For to Jehovah `are' the fixtures of earth, And He setteth on them the habitable world.
2:9 The feet of His saints He keepeth, And the wicked in darkness are silent, For not by power doth man become mighty.
2:10 Jehovah -- broken down are His adversaries, Against them in the heavens He thundereth: Jehovah judgeth the ends of earth, And giveth strength to His king, And exalteth the horn of His anointed.'
2:11 And Elkanah goeth to Ramath, unto his house, and the youth hath been serving Jehovah, `in' the presence of Eli the priest;
2:12 and the sons of Eli `are' sons of worthlessness, they have not known Jehovah.
2:13 And the custom of the priests with the people `is': any man sacrificing a sacrifice -- then hath the servant of the priest come in when the flesh is boiling, and the hook of three teeth in his hand,
2:14 and hath struck `it' into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the hook bringeth up doth the priest take for himself; thus they do to all Israel who are coming in, there, in Shiloh.
2:15 Also before they make perfume with the fat -- then hath the priest's servant come in, and said to the man who is sacrificing, `Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he doth not take of thee flesh boiled, but raw;'
2:16 and the man saith unto him, `Let them surely make a perfume (as to-day) with the fat, then take to thee as thy soul desireth;' and he hath said to him, `Surely now thou dost give; and if not -- I have taken by strength.'
2:17 And the sin of the young men is very great `in' the presence of Jehovah, for the men have despised the offering of Jehovah.
2:18 And Samuel is ministering `in' the presence of Jehovah, a youth girt `with' an ephod of linen;
2:19 and a small upper coat doth his mother make to him, and she hath brought it up to him from time to time, in her coming up with her husband to sacrifice the sacrifice of the time.
2:20 And Eli blessed Elkanah, and his wife, and said, `Jehovah doth appoint for thee seed of this woman, for the petition which she asked for Jehovah;' and they have gone to their place.
2:21 When Jehovah hath looked after Hannah, then she conceiveth and beareth three sons and two daughters; and the youth Samuel groweth up with Jehovah.
2:22 And Eli `is' very old, and hath heard all that his sons do to all Israel, and how that they lie with the women who are assembling `at' the opening of the tent of meeting,
2:23 and he saith to them, `Why do ye things like these? for I am hearing of your evil words from all the people -- these!
2:24 Nay, my sons; for the report which I am hearing is not good causing the people of Jehovah to transgress. --
2:25 If a man sin against a man, then hath God judged him; but if against Jehovah a man sin, who doth pray for him?' and they hearken not to the voice of their father, though Jehovah hath delighted to put them to death.
2:26 And the youth Samuel is going on and growing up, and `is' good both with Jehovah, and also with men.
2:27 And there cometh a man of God unto Eli, and saith unto him, `Thus said Jehovah, Was I really revealed unto the house of thy father in their being in Egypt, before Pharaoh's house,
2:28 even to choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to Me for a priest, to go up on Mine altar, to make a perfume, to bear an ephod before Me, and I give to the house of thy father all the fire-offerings of the sons of Israel?
2:29 Why do ye kick at My sacrifice, and at Mine offering which I commanded `in' My habitation, and dost honour thy sons above Me, to make yourselves fat from the first part of every offering of Israel, of My people?
2:30 `Therefore -- the affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel -- I certainly said, Thy house and the house of thy father, do walk up and down before Me to the age; and now -- the affirmation of Jehovah -- Far be it from Me! for he who is honouring Me, I honour, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed.
2:31 `Lo, days `are' coming, and I have cut off thine arm, and the arm of the house of thy father, that an old man is not in thy house;
2:32 and thou hast beheld an adversary `in My' habitation, in all that He doth good with Israel, and there is not an old man in thy house all the days.
2:33 `And the man I cut not off of thine from Mine altar, `is' to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy soul; and all the increase of thy house do die men;
2:34 and this `is' to thee the sign that cometh unto thy two sons, unto Hophni and Phinehas -- in one day they die both of them;
2:35 and I have raised up for Me a stedfast priest; as in My heart and in My soul he doth do; and I have built for him a stedfast house, and he hath walked up and down before Mine anointed all the days;
2:36 and it hath been, every one who is left in thy house doth come in to bow himself to him, for a wage of silver, and a cake of bread, and hath said, Admit me, I pray thee, unto one of the priest's offices, to eat a morsel of bread.'

Re: First time on the water today, I could use some advice!
To reiterate what most people are saying:
You need to be shown by a sailor how to sail your boat. (assuming you rigged the boat correctly) Go out with someone who knows how to sail with a main and jib, let them walk you through everything that they do and after about an hour, start to try things yourself.
It's a small, fun sailboat that will work best with both sails up at the same time. You're just starting out and using it on a lake, don't sign up for sailing courses, just get someone who knows how to sail to show you. When I had a boat up for sale on craigslist, somebody messaged me asking "I actually just bought the same kind of boat, so I'm not interested in buying yours, but I need someone to show me how to sail it, would you be able to?" and I replied "Yes of course, I'll be happy to spend half a day back on the water on one of those boats again, especially because my is being sold" But then the person never got back to me - point being, just ask someone to go with you who knows what they're doing. Rig it in the parking lot your in your driveway and get used to where things are, what things do. Then next time you'll know what you're doing and take your wife back out and she'll see the progress and an entirely different experience of sailing of actually going fast, and getting somewhere, and returning back to the dock.
It sounds like you had an awful first experience. Don't repeat it by trying just the main, without the extra power of the jib. Set it ALL up WITH someone experienced, sail it the way it was meant to be sailed from now on.

Toil and Juggle
Going for the Juggler: Tom 'Renegade' Kidwell juggles his products and his work schedule with ease. Fellow juggler and employee Iman Lizarazu watches the boss for a few pointers.
How two young Santa Cruzans' quest for better props led them into the juggling-equipment manufacturing biz
By Traci Hukill
THE YEAR IS 1920, AND ALL over Europe and America vaudeville jugglers are dropping like flies. It's not the long hours, drafty dressing rooms or some virulent strain of that vague malady doctors call "consumption." No, the culprit is something in the air, something close at hand, something the unfortunate jugglers can't do without: their juggling clubs.
Okay, maybe jugglers aren't dropping like flies, exactly--but those bowling-pin lookalikes are heavy. It hurts to mess up and have a wooden club clock you in the head. What's worse, the very best jugglers can only manage to heave four of them into a cascade at once. Although they don't realize it, the vaudeville performers are actually laboring under extreme hardship.
In another 60 years, help will be on the way.
Riding the crest of a juggling craze that sweeps the nation in the mid-'70s, The Flying Brothers Karamazov will graduate from UCSC and parlay their college hobby into careers in Spandex and spotlights. A new generation of student jugglers, inspired by math professor Matt Jackson's Juggling Night and the success of their school's famous alumni, will form a troupe called the Renegades of Gravity. They'll have a lot of fun, work a few benefits and gradually disband, some to pursue jobs as sushi chefs and computer geeks.
A few will go on to become professional jugglers, and Tom Kidwell and Bob Vandegrift will look at the plastic juggling clubs falling apart in their hands and decide to go where no juggling- equipment manufacturer has gone before: to a time and place where clubs are better-shaped for show, more durable than ever and don't hurt so much.
Down-to-Earth Guys
THE WORKSHOP WHERE Renegade Juggling Equipment lives is an unassuming place on SC's Westside, painted sunny yellow. Inside, it resembles a resting place for odd pieces of equipment and old cardboard boxes. Upon closer inspection, however, the boxes prove to harbor spools of slick, colorful paper, black rubber discs, dowel rods and empty vinyl pouches. Over the door, a rack of bright diabolos--hourglass-shaped props for spinning on a string suspended between two sticks--gaze down on the disconcerted visitor, and above a workbench hang dozens of neon-hued juggling rings. In the corner, a desk groans beneath the weight of way too many orders and receipts.
Kidwell has the relaxed air of a guy who gets to wear shorts to work but still makes enough money to own his own house. On the other hand, he seems a little burdened, too. Turns out he's nearing the end of his two-month-long, six-day-a-week, 10-hour-a-day shift. Then it'll be Vandegrift's turn to work Silicon Valley hours while Kidwell relaxes. The two have been passing the baton on the business in this way for years now, figuring the time off is worth the long hours on.
In 1982, Renegade's single product was a small juggling club cut to a specific shape to causing it to spin more slowly through the air, which makes it more visible to audiences. Being clever fellows, Kidwell and Vandegrift invested several thousand dollars in a cast-iron pin mold. The spendy little piece of capital proved well worth the money: That one juggling pin was Renegade's mainstay for years.
Now the company's glossy, full-color catalog offers more than 35 products, including four sizes of clubs, beanbags, glowing juggling balls and sickles, which carry Renegade's disclaimer ("Only a fool would try and juggle these extremely dangerous cutting tools"). The company keeps costs (and storage space) to a minimum by stocking very little inventory--most products are made to order.
So when the phone rings or an email from the company's lustrous Web site arrives with an order, the guy on duty gets busy. With the help of juggler Iman Lizarazu--a former student of Marcel Marceau whom Kidwell and Vandegrift met several years ago in Oldenburg--the owner-on-duty pours plastic into pin, ring or diabolo molds and bakes them in a kiln. The working team fills beanbags with birdseed, wraps clubs with decorative hologram foils and packaged orders of crystal and acrylic balls.
This is a business that owes its life to mechanization, by the way: Renegade's workshop houses a modest wealth of machines to increase efficiency. Kidwell is working on one that fills beanbags to replace the arduous and annoying manual method, which involves a funnel and a lot of spilled birdseed. There's even a machine that wraps tape around the clubs' handles. That must save some colorful language around the office.
No World Domination
A WILD RUMOR IS FLYING around town that Renegade is the largest manufacturer of juggling equipment in the world. "Not quite," says Kidwell with a grin, although he admits that the company is one of two or three significant U.S. manufacturers. Makers of juggling equipment are tiptoeing around these days, hoping not to wake the sleeping sporting goods giants, who've apparently snoozed through reports placing the annual juggling equipment market in the millions.
Does Renegade want a bigger slice of that sweet pie?
Not really. "Bob and I aren't interested in employee management or being paper-pushing executives," Kidwell notes wryly. It's a pretty good life as it is: six months of vacation each year, a quiet place to work, a radio tuned to the music of your choice. Best of all, the work stems from a genuine interest in juggling.
"I end up juggling a lot less," Vandegrift admits, "but it's a good feeling to think about someone opening that box of equipment they ordered. You know they're just gonna be so excited."
It's been said that forging a livelihood from a passion is like hitching up a show pony to a hay wagon--some of the high-stepping sheen wears off in the daily grind.
But it's better than pulling the wagon yourself, and as long as it makes frequent stops for, say, juggling breaks, it's a pretty good deal.

Haridwar is among top industrial investment hubs
Haridwar, February 17 President of Kuwait-based Industrial and Commercial Groups Alghanim Industries Samir Kaseem said this here today at SIDCUL Kirby firms expansion facility plant. He pointed out that despite global economic meltdown, India had emerged quite strongly
as in comparison to other countries of the world, including developed European and American nations. Expressing concern over Iran-USA hostility over nuclear armament, Kaseem said that post-Gulf war, the world economy is not in a condition to have another such war, particularly the industry, whch is keeping a close tab on the Iran
development. With this expansion, Haridwar city has emerged as one of the top industrial investment hubs in the country as Kriby plant will now be producing 1 lakh metric tonnes of pre-engineered steel, which is the highest under one single roof unit in the country. Kaseem also pointed that as part of Uttarakhand state governments incentive policy in the hilly districts, the company is committed to facilitate the industrial set-up there, too, so
that more and more people of the hilly state get employment. Already the company in its Indian-based plants is hiring local people in the ratio of 80:20 and even giving skill-based labour training, where it finds requisite eligibility doesnt match to the parameter. While D Raju, CEO of Kirby Buildings, South East Asia, said that in just a span of six years, Haridwar unit capacity has risen from 40,000 MT to 1 lakh MY, which in itself proves the conducive environment like government support, manpower, skilled technicians and facilities that industries get here
in Haridwar. Citing the companys involvement in providing applications for coveted DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation), Renault Nissan factory AGM Sudhir Mehta said that the company was committed to lend its expertise in Uttarakhand to make the state best industrial hub in the northern region. |
Varsity MoU with GMVN on adventure camps for students
Dehradun, February 16 It is for the first
time that the Nigam has bagged such a big project with an educational institution at the university level. Till now 15 of the total 21 camps have been held for rock climbing, rappelling and rafting at Rishikesh successfully. Yudhvir Pundir, Adventure Tourism Manager, GMVN, Rishikesh, said: Each group comprises 33 students, both boys and girls.The groups are taken for rafting to Shivpuri stretch of 24 km. The camps have been a huge success as students are thoroughly enjoying themselves. It is the first exposure for them. We are also taking good care of their safety during adventure activities. Bursting the myth that rafting was not suitable in winters as some of the groups postponed it for April, he said: The water gets crystal clear in winter because of which it is also called white water
rafting. The novices who do not know about rafting feel they would feel cold during rafting but they must know that river water in higher reaches, which is considered excellent for rafting, is always extremely cold. Prof PS Rana, Dean, Students Welfare of the university, said the students were selected on the basis of first- come first-serve basis from the colleges of Pauri, Tehri and Srinagar affiliated to Garhwal University. A complete batch of NCC students was also given the exclusive permission to undertake rafting from Srinagar to Kodiyala, which is replete with the most difficult rapids,
he added. He said: The university, after it was accorded the status of central university, gets grants for adventure activity every year. Out of a total of Rs 50 lakh grant, half was spent on adventure project with GMVN and half has been utilised in building an artificial rock climbing structure in the university premises, for which CPWD had been chosen as working agency. |
Slum-dwellers plead with Mayor
Dehradun, February 16 Shyam Kumar, resident, said they had been paying electricity bills, water bills and had voter cards as well as ration cards. In such a situation they should not be removed from the colony. Rajender Nath also pitched in, saying many of the slum-dwellers were living in the area for the last 10 to 15 years. Earlier, no one ever talked of demolishing their houses. Lalita Devi said they had built kutcha houses of bricks with tin roofs. Poor people like them must not be divested of their shelter. If the state government could not provide them housing facility, then it should not take away the houses that they have in their possession. The Mayor heard them patiently but also added that he could not allow blatant encroachment on government land. I can understand the view point of those who are living in the area for the last 10-15 years. But I am noticing the new occupants are also mushrooming. Not only this, the occupants have begun selling their houses, which cannot be tolerated, he said. The residents suggested Chamoli to either plant trees or erect a wall around vacant portions on the land so that these portions could not be encroached upon by any one. |
Birender Singh awarded
Dehradun, February 16 The award for Politics of Social Work was given to Birendra Singh, MP, Rajya Sabha, by Dr Bhishma Narain Singh, a former Governor of Tamil Nadu, at a function in New Delhi today. Birendra Singh, who comes from a political family of Haryana, is also the in-charge of party affairs in Himachal Pradesh. |
Haldwani admn wakes up to garbage disposal problem
Nainital, February 16 To begin with, it has been decided that a trenching ground be developed alongside the plastic-recycling unit adjacent to the Gaula river. The process for transfer of forestland for developing the trenching ground has already started. A team of officials of the administration and the local civic body carried out a survey of the proposed site yesterday. In addition to this, the team also inspected the Tanakpur road area where large-scale encroachments on the forestland are learnt to have taken place. A special task force has been created by the officials to remove the said encroachments over the next few days. The disposal of waste in the town, which is booming with population, has become an area of major concern for the authorities. It has been reported that the waste is dumped along the Tanakpur road and the Rajpura locality while the sewer is also dumped in the Gaula riverbed. The residents living in the Gaula Par area have been up in arms against the failure of the administration and the local civic authorities to address the issue. Their public representatives have also been raising the issue from several public platforms. The trenching ground would be developed with assistance of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The execution of the task is being done on priority basis. |
Shani temple demolition
Nainital, February 16 The LDA had carried out the demolition of the alleged illegal encroachment on a public road that had come up in the name of renovation of the temple earlier this month. This gave an opportunity to the right-wing elements indulging in petty politics to trigger off a misinformation campaign that has had repercussions across the entire Kumaon region. On daily basis there have been protests led by right-wing organisations, which have been giving the impression that the demolished structure was a Shani temple. Contrary to their claim, the temple stands intact and only the encroachment on public land done in the name of renovation was demolished. Ironically, sections of the media also have been indulging in presenting the facts in a manner that serves their interests. In a statement issued here, secretary of the LDA Vijay Chandra Kaushal has dispelled the myths being circulated in the region. He has stated, A misinformation campaign is being carried out by certain people saying that the Shani temple has been demolished. The fact is that on February 6, the LDA, with the help of the PWD had removed the encroachment on the Thandi road that had taken place in the front portion of the temple. The prayers and other routines are still being carried out in the Shani temple as before. The clarification comes with a view to take the fizz out of the campaign being resorted to by certain elements, which are looking for short-term political gains. As reported earlier, the series of events that have followed the demolition are a pointer to the vested interests at work. After the demolition there have been sporadic protests across Kumaon on the issue with small groups of right wing activists participating in these protests. To begin with, the observers say that the said temple was not being managed by any public body or any trust but as a private enterprise. Secondly, it has provided an opportunity to the Hindutva activists to indulge in short-term politics and get some prominence in the media. In a protest march in Nainital a few days ago, some 30 odd people with affiliation to various Hindutva organisations had marched through the town in a procession from Ram Sevak Sabha to the Collectorate via the Mall Road, raising slogans. This was in sheer violation of the model code of conduct, which is still in force across the state. There have also been attempts to communalise the issue as it is being pointed out that the authorities have been selective in demolishing a temple while ignoring the encroachments done by religious institutions of the other faiths. |
Dearth of basic facilities in hill areas causing mass exodus
Pithoragarh, February 16 Agreeing with the fact that large-scale migration has been taking place in his Assembly area as well, former Uttarakhand Agriculture Minister Mahendra Singh Mahra, who contested from Lohaghat Assembly seat for the third time, said that unemployment and communication gap between the rural folks and implementing agencies are major reasons of migration from villages to nearby towns and big cities. The villagers need to be made skilled on the trades, for which the raw material is available in their vicinity and the facilities of health and education will have to be provided, says Mahra. Mahra agrees that due to Forest Conservation Act of 1980, the traditional raw material of hill areas has been banned, leading to unemployment among the classes who were dependent on that. After asserting that traditional slates cannot be dug for use of roofs, the new cement concrete style houses have come into existence in hill areas, said Mahra, adding that during his time as Agriculture Minister, he suggested having research on utilisation of lantana grass, which was rapidly eating up land in hill villages but the proposal could not be implemented by the BJP government. Uttarakhand Lok Vahini leader Shamsher Singh Bisht attributes the migration from hills to the unequal distribution of money and resources in the state after its creation, and said that a strong local economy will have to be created and be linked with mainstream economy if the state wants to check migration from the hills. Even political will of the state does not seem in favour of stopping migration from hills as the stakeholders of the state want to use the meagre resource and not the human resource, alleged Bisht. UKD leader Kashi Singh Airy attributed migration from hills to lack of initiative by respective governments in the field of commercial crop coupled with lack of quality education and better health facilities in hill villages. In my constituency area of Dharchula, the commercial production of potato, rajma and medicinal herbs can raise employment opportunities in higher altitude villages, but the respective governments lacked the will to initiate these on the ground, said Airy. Airy said that the production of these commercial crops could be raised to four times that could give employment to more village youths. This is not limited to Dharchula, but can be implemented in the districts of Chamoli, Uttarkashi and Bageshwar in the hill state, said Airy . The UKD leader added that the quality of education being provided to village children in hill villages is also one of the reasons of migration as the programmes being implemented by the government are being implemented only casually by the authorities in village schools. The health facilities in my constituency are also dismal as there is no health staff and the people are dependent on Emergency 108 medical service and Aasha workers in the village, as there is no medical centre on the 43-km long area between Jauljibi and Madkot, said Airy. The BJP leader and contestant from Ranikhet Assembly seat, Ajay Bhatt, a former health minister of the state, lamented that despite much efforts by the respective governments, the basic infrastructure in villages could not be made sufficient till date. To stop migration from the hill villages, our government has planned industrial areas for the hill districts and a few have been identified in Bhimtal area, said Ajay Bhatt. Former MLA from Gangolihat area and chairman of state SC and ST Commission Narayan Ram complains that if the cement factory proposed in Gangolihat area in 1980 had been working today, more than 1 lakh people would have been employed in the area, stopping the migration from there. The political leaders, after creation of the state, have patronised a few people in every village for their own political interests. This tendency has created an exploiting class in every village, which neglects general interests of the particular village. said Ram. According to Narayan Ram, his area still lacks 70 per cent of water, 50 per cent road communication and 60 per cent health facilities as roads mostly lie at the distance of an average 3 km from villages, and health centres at more than 20 km distance in some villages. Until we change these parametres, we cannot provide the hill villagers the required health services, said Narayan Ram. All the leaders talked with agreed that until the quality of infrastructure in education anf health is upgraded and linked directly to employment creation, the flow of migration from villages to nearby towns and from towns to metros cannot be stopped. The historic city of Almora is facing migration to big cities and to Haldwani as the town lacks facilities of health and employment, said Naveen Bisht, a journalist based at Almora. |
BJP leaders misusing facilities for UP elections
Dehradun, February 16 In a letter to Uttarakhand the Chief Election Officer, a copy of which has also been sent to the Chief Election Commission, New Delhi, senior Congress leader Suryakant Dhasmana said as per Election Commission directives, the election code of conduct is currently on in Uttarakhand and will stay till March 6, the day of counting. But the Uttarakhand BJP government, after conclusion of polling in the hill state, has resorted all facilities to the ministerial rank party leaders and now these leaders are using these facilities for campaigning for BJP in UP Assembly elections, Suryakant Dhasmana said, accusing Uttarakhand BJP of resorting to violation of the model code. He appealed the Uttarakhand Chief Election Officer to ensure that there is no model code of violation in the state. |
ITBP team win volleyball tourney
Pithoragarh, February 16 Amandeep of the ITBP was declared the man of the match, while Rahul of the Dehradun team was adjudged the man of the series. The tournament was organised by the state promotion committee and the District Sports Office. Chander Mouli Sharma, Commandant, ITBP, who was the chief guest on the occasion, presented a cheque for Rs 50,000 to the winning team. The Roorkee team stood third while the Haldwani team was fourth in the tournament. |
Date for identification of statehood activists extended
Nainital, February 16 District Magistrate PS Jangpangi has ordered that the verification by the police should be carried out by March 10 in accordance with the fresh instructions received from the state administration in this regard. At a meeting of the administrative officials of the district held on Tuesday , Jangpangi asked the SDMs and other officials to bring about a change in their outlook towards things. He asked them to focus on the revenue collection and told the SDMs that land should be leased in accordance with the rules and availability. He said the unavailability of land must be brought to the notice of the administration in writing. He also called for early disposal of cases at various levels. Jangpangi expressed discontent over the pace of revenue collection in the district and asked the officials to initiate special measures so that the target for the financial year could be achieved. He asked the SDMs and tehsildars to start revenue collections from the bigger defaulters. He ordered that in case they were not able to get the payments they should start the proceedings for auctioning their movable and immovable assets. He also expressed unhappiness over certain banks functioning in a manner that has led to a loss in revenue collection by the administration. He asked that bank officials to work in coordination with the revenue officials. |
Fish production stagnant due to lack of awareness
Pithoragarh, February 16 He says in Uttarakhand 64 varieties are found in the Garhwal region while 34 varieties are found in the water bodies of the Kumaon region. The main varieties of fish found in Himalayan rivers and ponds in the state are Snow trout, Golden Manhasser, Kumaon trout, which are most sought after varieties by food lovers, says Shah. Shah adds Uttarakhand has 3,000 km-long rivers, lakes in the 300 sq km area and other water bodies like ponds and reservoirs in 25,000 hectares. This water asset is capable enough to produce up to 15,000 metric tonnes of fish annually but due to lack of awareness among the farmers and government officials as well the fish production is not increasing beyond 4,000 metric tonnes. Of this, 2,500 metric tonnes of fish is produced in ponds of the Terai region, says Shah. The farmers into fishery in hill areas complain of the non-availability of technical know-how to help them increase fish production. Besides, the quality of seeds given to fish farmers by the department is traditional and that cannot raise the tonnage of fish production, says Laxman Singh, a fish farmer in Champawat district. |
House, crops destroyed in Pithoragarh landslide
Pithoragarh, February 16 The landslide was sudden and unexpected as boulders on the hilltop had been stable since time immemorial, said R Rajesh Kumar, District Magistrate, Pithoragarh, who visited the village. The District Magistrate said Prem Singhs house, a drinking water tank for the village and the drinking water pipeline were totally damaged. The district disaster management team, besides officers from the soil conservation and agricultural departments reached the spot, assessed the damage and discussed the measures to check the further landslide, he said. District Disaster Management Officer RS Rana said the area had a history of landslides and the present incident happened due to terracing by villagers near the rocks. The landslide took place during the winter and the situation could aggravate during rain,
said Rana. He claimed that the district administration was taking sufficient measures to control any further landslide. It was an unseasonable and unexpected incident as it happened when there was no rain unlike earlier landslide incidents in hill areas. It has made us concerned for those villages in the district which are situated under hills having such stone structures, said
Rana. |

Accept your body image and be free
Elaine George
–, Friday, February, 18, 2011, (6:29pm)
MANY women are self-conscious about some aspect of their bodies: whether it relates to weight, cellulite, body image or breast size.
We may feel reluctant to undress in front of a new partner, particularly if we are older, but usually the initial lust and passion tends to override any anxiety.
However, getting naked in front of someone can be daunting for many women, even with a long-term partner, and particularly after children.
After the joys of pregnancy and exhilaration of the childbirth, some women are aghast at the badges of motherhood.
It seems unfair that while breastfeeding is encouraged, it does little to a woman's once-pert breasts, particularly if she has breastfed for one year and had more than one baby.
Some women are so desperate to change that they seek breast augmentation between babies in an attempt to boost self-esteem, body image and libido.
But do breast implants really boost sex drive for either gender?
Some women believe that it is the best thing they ever did, and immensely enjoy the upgrade. They find that it brings a new sense of confidence which carries through into the bedroom.
Women often suggest it enhances sexual encounters, but some men disagree, saying they are not fussed. In other words, breast implants are not guaranteed to rescue or improve your sex life.
It may help you feel sexy again and your partner to find you sexy, but it is important to reconsider the underlying motives for seeking surgical intervention.
Many men prefer women to appear natural and dislike heavy make-up. Some men prefer real breasts, although that does not seem to prevent them from ogling at sexy breasts or cleavage.
Yes, we are all aroused by what we see, but also by what we touch and feel. Men often confess that they do not like to feel fake breasts.
Breast implants are made of saline or silicone and come in various shapes, texture and sizes. Saline implants are firm, while silicone feels more soft and pliable.
Silicone gel tends to be more flesh-like and feel more realistic. Sub-muscular placement also leads to a more natural feel, but the final result is contingent upon the amount of existing body fat and breast tissue.
Breast implants can look very natural and sometimes people cannot tell they are fake.
Indeed, despite the availability of wonder bras and clever inserts, many women remain discontented with their breasts and feel uncomfortable during sex, particularly in certain positions.
Ultimately it is a personal choice on how we reach acceptance, let go and enjoy sex.

This can be a major issue with women, it was for me at one point, especially when I remarried.
I had said " I don't want you to look" he asked why and I was totally shocked when chuckled and said " every imperfection is what makes you unique, wear every imperfection as a badge of honour, you gave life having your kids, and I love you just the way you are, you are perfect in my eyes"
I have had time to think about what he said and he is right, every stretch mark every sag, every bumb or excess hang is a badge of what I have done.
But now I am older and age is catching up, with the words of encouragement from my husband keeps everything in perspective.
The only thing I have found that hinders our sex life the most is my health problems, but my husband and I keep a positive look on that too.
But one thing my husband and I agree on is, sex shouldn't be the be all and end all of your marriage, while you both have for each other compassion, trust, communication and friendship your marriage will endure even on the days you don't feel confident in yourself or the way you look.
Mon 21 Feb 11 (11:32am)
Dear Louise
It is lovely to read your comments, and I'm delighted to have readers such as yourself!
It is true that health problems can hinder your sex life as you get older (I want to do a column on this) but it does sound like both of you have an excellent outlook and probably sex life because of your ability to 'go with the flow', adapt and adjust when necessary and most importantly manage your expectations.
I also wholeheartedly agree that sex shouldn't be the be all and end all of your marriage - but unfortunately when other issues arise and the intimacy declines (emotional and psychological) then physical intimacy also tends to decline - so it becomes a viscious circle and sex inadvertently becomes a battle ground, or is used as a 'weapon' - particularly if there is desire discrepancy.
I wish you both well; and I endorse the need for compassion, trust, communication and friendship in your marriage as being far more important than the way you look, or feel as a result of how you look.

Chiefs Interview
I currently work for a department that I have been at for over five years. I am getting ready to take a chiefs interview for another department and am looking for any advice regarding questions that I can expect. I have been out of the testing process for six years now and would rather avoid asking my current chief for advice on what I can expect. Any information would be appreciated.

chiefs Interview
The biggest problem I've seen on oral boards with seasoned veterans taking entry level or lateral tests is they can't place themselves in the position they are applying for; that of being a snotty nose rookie. They try to hammer the oral board with their credentials thinking the board will just hand them the job. Their oral board's skills are rusty and antiquated. It's hard for them to remember how it was to be a rookie.
This is a delicate balance here. Leave your time and rank in your locker. You must be humble, place yourself in the rookie position and build a natural bridge to present your education, experience and integrity to the oral board panel. Without this bridge, you're dead meat. This is not easy for many seasoned candidates. An attitude adjustment is needed. Attitude is a small thing that can make the big difference. Remember the position you're applying.
The seasoned veteran candidate can roar past any of the other candidates if his attitude and game plan is in place.
You're going to the chiefs interview because of what you have done in your first interview. The chiefs interview is open to any types of questioning. They are really trying to find out more about you. How you're going to be as a firefighter for the next 25+ years. Do you fit their culture? We like to hire candidates that are them selves on purpose in the interview. Someone who has a personality and conversational. Are you that person in an interview?
I think this says it all:
It was five years ago that I first visited this site. It was how I found and landed my first job at a small career department, and served for four and a half years. The entire time I wanted to make the lateral move to my hometown dept.--a larger city, more opportunities, Paramedic and tech. rescue opportunities...But I was a bone head. I thought because I was already on the job elsewhere, I could waltz through the process, and to some extent I did--all the way to the Chief's interview twice, but never got the call. Laterals, my advice to you is this: we are our own worst enemies...you think you are a good judge of your interview skills, trust me you're not. Don't be a bonehead like me and go through the process twice before getting help from professionals who specialize in oral boards skills
Think this is some baloney sell-out advertisement? Well, all I can say is after five years of trying, my recruit academy starts in two weeks. You be the judge. Matt_____________________________________________

What can you expect in a Chief's Oral?
Some more thoughts:
Chief's Orals will vary widely depending on the style of the Fire Chief and the department. However, here are some suggestions:
1. Get to know about the Department and the Chief before the interview. What are some of the core values of the organization? What are some of the key issues or projects that the department is involved with? Some Chief's like that you took the time to know a little about what the department is all about? However, if the topic comes up...be genuine...don't B.S.!
2. The Chief's interview is often casual in that there are not necessarily a specific set of fixed questions like on the more formal oral board. The Chief may ask about anything that is on your resume or follow up questions in response to your comments. Casual does not mean that you don't wear professional business attire.
3. One thing is certain, this is the Chief's brief opportunity to get to know you. I cannot speak for all Fire Chiefs, but I tend to use this opportunity to look for examples in your experiences that demonstrate maturity, stability, responsibility, judgement, compassion, work ethic and other characteristics that I believe are important to be a successful firefighter.
By the time you reach the Chief's interview, you probably have already been through the written, PPT, and oral board(s). In those portions of the testing you probably have demonstrated your memory, reading comprehension skills, mechanical aptitude, basic math, physical ability, ability to work others as part of a team, understanding of firehouse etiquette, communication skills, and likely have addressed some honesty/integrity scenario.
4. Don't be afraid to talk about yourself in terms that demonstrate the qualities mentioned above. Give specific examples.
5. Stay on track with the point you are trying to make. Don't get lost and wander off into irrelevant areas. You'll miss your point, which may also cause you to become more nervous than you already might be. Listen closely to the questions and be responsive to them.
6. Finally, try to be relaxed and conversational in your manner. Be confident, but not cocky. Make good eye contact. Try to be natural...be yourself...that is who the Chief wants to get to know!
I hope this helps. Good Luck!

I just sat on the Chief's oral panel for my department. I can say that the one thing that NON-firefighters have over firefighters (yes, you read this correctly), is their passion for the job. Many firefighters become complacent once they get hired.
They believe that since they are already a firefighter their experience will carry them through. In addition, they have LOST their ability to take an oral interview. Being good is an acquired skill. Like any skill, it must be practiced and maintained. Being out of practice and having minimal fire and desire for the position is a BAD combination. If you are truly serious about the position treat it as you did not already have a job.
If you are not willing to put in the homework and effort necessary, don't waste your and the board's time.
If, however, you are fired up for the position let your homework and desire show in the interview. As a working firefighter who is humble, nobody should beat you in the interview.
On the contrary, I have scored many firefighters very low because they felt they had it in the bag.

Jury selection starts in lawsuit against Coca-Cola Enterprises cellphone policies
CORPUS CHRISTI - Jury selection started Monday in a Corpus Christi courtroom for a lawsuit targeting a change in cellphone policies for Coca-Cola Enterprises.
In summer 2010, Vanice Chatman-Wilson, 37, was driving on Leopard Street when her 2008 Ford Fusion was struck by a Coca-Cola vehicle. The driver of the vehicle, Araceli Vanessa Cabral, 30, was on a cellphone at the time of the accident, according to a news release from Hilliard Munoz Gonzales law firm.
Chatman-Wilson was left with severe pain in her neck, lower back, upper back and in February 2011, she had lumbar surgery, according to the news release.
Cabral maintains that she was using a wired headset while on the phone, which is in compliance with Coca-Cola's cellphone policy.
Bob Hilliard, Chatman-Wilson's attorney, is arguing that the case could push for changes to corporate cellphone policies nationwide.
The trial is scheduled in Nueces County Court at Law No. 2. Opening statements are scheduled to start Tuesday.

Due to its failure to comply with a 2009 European Commission law for Windows 7 users to easily choose their default browsers, Microsoft has been handed an eye-watering $730m fine. This comes after the EC found that Microsoft removed the pop-up screen to let users choose their default Internet browsers on Windows 7 Service Pack 1, and instead automatically sets the Internet Explorer browser as the default. The lack of a browser choice screen comes in direct contradiction to Microsoft's commitments to the EC back in 2009 over the same issue. As a result, over 15 million Windows users in the EU did not see the screen, and were stuck with Internet Explorer.
In its response, Microsoft acknowledged its mistake and took full responsibility over the issue, which it has labeled a technical error. The company has issued an apology and announced that it will "take steps to strengthen (its) software development" to avoid this mistake, besides also announcing that they will not appeal the fine.
In contrast, $730 million makes the RM190000 penalty dished out to our local telcos yesterday a mere slap on the wrist, doesn't it?

730M vs 0.19M, what a shame, Malaysia should fine all the telco at least 100M above. Nothing will happen with 0.19M for sure…. it just a Peanut for all the telcos.
