As a finite, life-giving resource, access to water must remain a fundamental right. The state, as custodian under the public trust doctrine, should uphold the right of the citizen to clean, safe drinking water. It is such a strong, rights-based approach that should underpin official policy on water in India. Many areas in the country are water-stressed, and there are simmering inter-State disputes on sharing river waters. The National Water Policy 2012, now published in draft for public comments, should ultimately take a holistic view of the issue. The draft text makes some references to the importance of water for people and Nature, but is disproportionately focussed on treating water as an economic good. Such an approach predicated on realising the costs that go into the supply of water can only distort access and prices in the long run, affecting less affluent citizens. To suggest, for instance, that the state should exit the service-provider role and become a regulator is only a step away from abandoning the equity objective. Private sector water services have clearly failed in many countries, including those in the global North, and local governments have taken over again. In the current year, for-profit private water companies in England are raising tariffs, while the publicly-owned service in Scotland is not. Just over a decade ago, water wars in Bolivia reversed privatisation moves. Evidently, private partnership imposes the burden of extra costs.
Few will argue that there is no case for reforms in the way water is managed as a resource in India. In urban and semi-urban areas, the lack of adequate public investments has weakened municipal systems. This has led to commodification and unsustainable extraction from aquifers for rising rates of profit. In this context, the proposal to separate groundwater rights from land title by amending the Indian Easements Act, 1882 merits serious consideration. Coming up with an alternative framework acceptable to all stakeholders, however, is a big challenge. Moreover, an assessment of the national water balance at the basin level is essential for amending the law. This the Centre should pursue, as the Planning Commission has suggested, during the 12 Plan. Such data can persuade the States to support comprehensive legislation to address inter-State riparian issues. Again, if there is any one factor that renders much of India's water unusable, it is industrial pollution. This issue calls for urgent action, and the policy can cover major ground if it lays greater emphasis on making the 'polluter pays' principle work. A clean-up can make a lot more of India's water bodies and groundwater available for use by people.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Country Music Association Awards paid tribute to the past, present and future, giving George Strait his third entertainer of the year trophy on Wednesday while also awarding a quartet of 20-somethings who are helping to stretch the ever-fluid boundaries of the country music genre.
Strait won the CMA's top honor for the first time since 1990 in something of a victory lap as he launches the final leg of his The Cowboy Rides Away tour — his goodbye to touring. Taylor Swift, Florida Georgia Line and Kacey Musgraves were among the top winners, as were husband and wife Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert.

"This blows me away," the 61-year-old legend, whose competition included Swift and Shelton, told the audience after a standing ovation. "I just cannot believe it. You guys that are nominated are such powerful entertainers. I'm just thrilled to even be nominated again."
He later joked backstage, "The cowboy might be riding in again."
Swift won two trophies for her "Highway Don't Care" collaboration with Tim McGraw and Keith Urban. Shelton also won two awards, including the prestigious album of the year for "Based on a True Story ..." and male vocalist of the year for the fourth time, matching Lambert, who won her fourth female vocalist of the year award.

You have probably been told that when you apply your makeup, you need to pick either warm or cool colors and stick to them for your entire face. While that isn't bad advice, there are exceptions to the rule, and conveniently, our Cold Outside and Warm Inside collections contain some of the very best shades with which to break the rules!
Justine is wearing shades from both Cold Outside and Warm Inside. We started with her Beige 4 foundation. We brushed Rosy Cheeks form the Cold Outside collection on the apples of her cheeks.
On her eyes, we applied Candlelight from the Warm Inside Collection from lashes to brows. On her lids, we applied Mulled Cider, also from Warm Inside. Then we used a damp #33 Angle Liner Brush to line her upper lid with Jack Frost from Cold Outside, winging the liner at the outer corner just a bit. When you are thinking of mixing warms and cools, remember that golden shades look especially beautiful with blues and purples.
We finished the look with a light dusting of shimmer powder Fire Light from Warm Inside on the tops of her cheekbones, and shined her lips with Organic Nourishing Lipbalm in Mango. Who knew breaking rules could be so pretty?
One easy way to bring a little drama to your holiday look is to wear your eyeliner in this "winged" fashion. This is easier than you think - don't be intimidated!
Tip: When experimenting with a new makeup technique, the best time is right before bed. You're going to take your makeup off anyway, so it doesn't matter if it gets a little messy.
Winged Look
Start with one of our powdered eyeliners and a very small bowl, or the lid of the jar. Tap some product into the bowl and add a few drops of water. Mix, adding more water or powder until you get the consistency you want. Practice drawing a few lines on your hand to see if you need to add more liner for more intense color. In this demonstration, we used Luminous Shimmer Eyeliner in Paparazzi and our #33 Angle Liner Brush. The #33 is perfect for applying the eyeliner mixed with water, because it is easy to draw it on in one, smooth motion.
Begin at the inner corner of the eye and draw a line right in the roots of your eyelashes, stopping a little before you get to the outer edge. Stop before your lashline starts to angle down (or you will be drawing the eye down which is not what we want.) Now gently slope the line upward, aiming toward the end of your brow. Start small with this upwards motion, you can add to it later for a more intense effect.
Go back over this line, thickening it, not being so careful to stay at the roots of the lashes. Taper the line to a point as shown. If this "tail" at the end looks too far away from your lashes, fill in underneath, working from your point back towards the lashes.
Open your eyes and examine your line. How does it look with your eyes open? Do you need to extend the line further, or did you go too far? Is the line smooth? Touch up as needed.
If you are used to using an eyeliner pencil, the thought of using a powder eyeliner can be a little intimidating at first. But put your fears aside and dive in...you won't regret it! One advantage to powder eyeliner is it's versatility. Using it wet or dry gives a completely different look, but it can also be used as shadow or even brow color (depending on the color of your brows, of course).
If you are completely new to powder eyeliner, it might be best to start out with a Luminous Shimmer Eyeliner. The particles are just a tiny bit larger, which makes them easier to use. Once you have mastered the techniques, the Satin Matte Eyeliners will be a breeze.
To apply, you are obviously going to need a brush. Alima Pure has two eyeliner brushes, the #31 Fine Liner and the #33 Angle Liner. To determine which brush will work better for you, think about how you apply. Do you start at one corner of the eye and draw on your liner in a fairly fluid motion (as you would with a liquid or gel liner), then you probably want the #33 Angle Liner brush. If you sketch on your liner, more like you would with a pencil liner, then you might like the #31 Fine Liner brush better.
When you apply powder liner dry, the look is very soft and subtle. To make sure that the liner goes where you want it and doesn't sprinkle down your cheek, work the powder into the brush before you apply the brush to your eye. When using the liner dry, your brush will probably need to make several trips from your jar to your eye. To intensify this look a bit, but without going for a dramatic liquid-liner type of look, spritz your brush with a bit of water after you have worked the powder into the bristles.
For the most dramatic look, you will want to mix your liner with water. Tap a bit of the liner into a small bowl or even just the lid of your jar. Then add drops of water to the liner and mix, adding more water or liner if necessary to get your desired consistency. Then draw the liner on as you would any liquid-type liner.
When applying eyeliner, remember that putting a dark line all the way around the eye will create an optical illusion that will make your eye look smaller. To make eyes look larger, stick to the upper lid only for your dark color. If you really want to line the lower lash-line, try either using a lighter color or just applying to the outer 1/3 of the lashes.
The real purpose of eyeliner is to make your lashes look longer and thicker, but eyeliner can also be a fun way to introduce a bit of a bright color. If you want that "no, I'm not wearing liner, my lashes are just this lush" look, stick with black or another dark, natural color, and rather than lining above the lashes, work the liner right into the lashes, so that the color is actually between the lashes. If you want to introduce a fun, bright color, this technique is also good. For instance, our Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow in Aubergine makes a beautiful liner with gold shadows, but it doesn't do much for the thickness of the lashes, so after applying Aubergine, go back and work some Satin Matte Eyeliner in Black into your lashes...you'll have the best of both worlds!

See J. Canfield, Nicholas Rowe and Christian Tragedy (1977)
Rowe was the site of fishing and foraging for local Native American tribes. The area was first visited by white settlers in 1744, and was the site of a fort to guard against raids. In 1762, the town lands were purchased by the Rev. Cornelius Jones, who named it "Myrifield" after the Greek word for "thousand." The town had enough settlers by 1785 to have it incorporated as a town, renamed by the Massachusetts General Court presumably for John Rowe, a prominent Boston merchant. The town of Rowe grew around mills on the river, but also had other industries, including sulfur, talc and soapstone mining. This was nowhere more evident than in the now abandoned settlement at the Davis Mine. In the late 1880s, with the addition of the railroad along the river, the area had become somewhat of a small resort town. But, by the advent of the 1900's, most industry had begun to dry up, leaving the town fairly rural until the 1950s. At that point, with the "baby boom" underway, Rowe became the site of Yankee Rowe Nuclear Power Station, the first nuclear power plant in New England, near the Sherman Dam along the Vermont border. The plant was in operation from 1960 to 1992, and the plant is now completely decommissioned, with the nuclear waste set to be transported to Yucca Mountain's containment facilities upon their completion in 2020.
Rowe lies along the eastern bank of the Deerfield River, which is dammed near the Vermont border to form the Sherman Reservoir. The town also has two other large bodies of water, the Upper Bear Swamp Reservoir and Pelham Lake, which feeds Pelham Brook, a tributary of the river. The town is hilly, with two main ridges on either side of Pelham Brook. Near the southwest corner of town is Negus Mountain, along the western ridge, and along the eastern ridge lies Todd Mountain and Adams Mountain, the highest point in town. Much of the land southeast of Pelham Lake is part of the Pelham Lake Park, which extends to the mountains. There are also two small units of Monroe State Forest in town.
Rowe is one of a handful of small towns in Massachusetts which has no state highways. (Nearly half of these towns are on Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, with the majority of the rest in Central and Western Massachusetts.) The nearest state highways are Route 8A, which runs through neighboring Heath, and Route 2 (the Mohawk Trail), which runs through Charlemont and Florida. The nearest interstate, Interstate 91, passes through the center of the county, near the junction of the Deerfield River and the Connecticut River. A short section of railroad tracks leading westward to the Hoosac Tunnel passes through the southwest corner of town, but the town is otherwise not served by rail, bus or air service. The nearest bus and small air service is in North Adams, the nearest Amtrak service is in Pittsfield, and the nearest national air serivce can be reached at Albany International Airport in New York.
There were 154 households out of which 22.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 59.1% were married couples living together, 5.8% had a female householder with no husband present, and 31.8% were non-families. 26.0% of all households were made up of individuals and 11.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.28 and the average family size was 2.75.
In the town the population was spread out with 19.7% under the age of 18, 4.3% from 18 to 24, 21.1% from 25 to 44, 36.2% from 45 to 64, and 18.8% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 48 years. For every 100 females there were 90.8 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 93.2 males.
The median income for a household in the town was $41,944, and the median income for a family was $53,750. Males had a median income of $32,143 versus $28,438 for females. The per capita income for the town was $28,134. None of the families and 2.8% of the population were living below the poverty line, including no under eighteens and 3.1% of those over 64.
Rowe employs the open town meeting form of government, and is led by a board of selectmen. The town has a police station, which also patrols neighboring Monroe, as well as a fire station, a library connected to the regional library network, and a post office, all of which are located near the Town Hall at the center of town. The nearest hospital, North Adams Regional Hospital, is located in North Adams.
On the state level, Rowe is represented in the Massachusetts House of Representatives as part of the First Berkshire district, which includes the northern portion of Berkshire County as well as several towns in northwest Franklin County. In the Massachusetts Senate, the town is part of the Berkshire, Hampshire and Franklin district, which includes all of Berkshire County and the western portions of Hampshire and Franklin Counties. The town is patrolled by the Second (Shelburne Falls) Station of Troop "B" of the Massachusetts State Police.
On the national level, Rowe is represented in the United States House of Representatives as part of Massachusetts's 1st congressional district, and has been represented by John Olver of Amherst since June 1991. Massachusetts is represented in the United States Senate by senior Senator Ted Kennedy and junior Senator John Kerry.
The nearest community college, Greenfield Community College, is located in Greenfield. The nearest state college is Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams, and the nearest state university is the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The nearest private college is Williams College in Williamstown, with several others located southeast in the Northampton area.

Chuck Billy (Chuck Billy 'n' Folks)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2010)
|Chuck Billy
|Chuck Billy 'n' Folks character
Chuck Billy 7 years in Chuck Billy 'n' Folks (top) and Chuck Billy 18 years in Chuck Billy Teen (bottom)
|First appearance
|Removable Newspaper strips of 1961
|Created by
|Maurício de Sousa
Chuck Billy (Chico Bento in the original Brazilian strips) is the main character from Chuck Billy 'n' Folks, created by Brazilian cartoonist Mauricio de Sousa. He is the biggest work of Mauricio after Monica's Gang, and he has his own cartoon magazine and even some VHS and DVD movies, following Monica's steps.
He was created back in 1961, inspired on Mauricio's real life grandfather's brother. It first came to public in 1961, in a short cartoon with two other characters, his best friend Benny and his Japanese friend Taka.[1]
Back in the 1980s, the cartoon was polemic due to the dialogues. Mauricio was trying to represent how a hillbilly would talk by writing his lines with typical mistakes and incorrections of Brazilian Portuguese (actually the caipira dialect, which is not considered a dialect in Brazil). Later on, that was adapted and every mistake is indicated either in bold or some variant ways.
In 2009, a polemical short strip featuring Chuck Billy and an anonymous character was featured in an issue of Viva! magazine, released in the Brazilian state of Bahia to assist teachers of the state schools. The strip featured a boy saying "My father has more than 800 heads of cattle",[2] to which Chuck answers: "Tell him to take them all up his ass."[3] In the original strip, the boy asks the same thing but ends his sentence with "...what about yours, Chuck?". Billy then simply answers: "My father's got only one cow, but he's got the whole thing."[3] Mauricio de Sousa later stated in his Twitter profile:[3]
|It's obvious, but I'm going to explain: I would never make such an impolite thing, as my readers know very well.
Governor of Bahia Jaques Wagner later apologized for the error.[4]
Chuck's real original name is Francisco Bento, based on his father's father,[5] Chico being a common nickname for boys with that first name. He is a stereotypical Brazilian caipira child (more like a country person), who walks bare foot, always with a straw hat and lives in a country fictional little town, called Vila Abobrinha. He goes fishing, steal guavas and swims in the local river in his free time.
Different from other Mauricio's characters, Chuck Billy attends school, and some of his strips are even set in the local school, even though he is not a good student at all. He makes every kind of mistake a student can, such as being late for school, getting bad grades and not paying attention to class - though he also attains some success every once in a while.
Because the set is the Brazilian countryside, where there's Nature aplenty, many of Chuck Billy's stories are taken on the subject of environmental awareness and Brazilian folklore. The sacis are recurring characters, nearly always against the humans, such as popular folk creatures such as the werewolf, the Headless Mule and the Boitatá.
In the future, he has already been shown as having a son called Urutaia, conveniently named after a jaguar cub he once befriended,[6] but was also portrayed having a son called Quinzinho Bento, whereas a woman next to him (presumably his wife Rosinha) was carrying a toddler.[7]

UP Playwright's Theater brings back 'Umaaraw, Umuulan Kinakasal ang Tikbalang"
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—Be enthralled by the colorful creatures of Philippine folk literature and mythology as the UP Playwrights' Theater puts the spotlight once again on "Umaaraw Umuulan Kinakasal ang Tikbalang," Dulaang UP's hit production last season. The play is adapted from Gilda Cordero-Fernando's children's short story "The Magic Circle," written by Rody Vera and directed by José Estrella.
Cordero-Fernando is a regular columnist for Inquirer Sunday lifestyle section.
Relive Jepoy and Galis' journey to a magical wonderland teeming with strange creatures and even stranger events. Be acquainted with the enormous Doña Geronima with her clean and shiny plates and her Spanish-speaking dwarf maitre d' Pacqui. Chat with talking pythons and monkeys, tiyanak debutantes, ballroom dancing aswangs, and with the woeful kapre named Kap. To cap the adventure off, witness the exchange of vows between two enormous tikbalangs as it rains and shines at the same time.
More than being a crash course on Philippine folklore and myth, "Umaaraw, Umuulan Kinakasal ang Tikbalang" is a timely reminder of the urgency of caring for the environment and that all creatures big or small, whether from this world or another, are deserving of our respect and compassion.
Award-winning artists collaborate to give the audience yet another visual feast. Sculptor Leeroy New's sculptural costume pieces and Don Salubayba's unique shadow puppetry will surely awe the audience anew. All these are complemented by Lex Marcos' set and lights, Tj Ramos' sound design, and choreography by Stephen Viñas.
The play runs from November 21 to December 9 at the Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater, University of the Philippines, Diliman.

In the second fight of the telecast, Marvin Quintero out-performed Nick Casal, who threw the towel in after the third round..
The event, promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, LLC, took place at the Osage Million Dollar Elm Casino in Tulsa, Okla.
Cruz, of Puerto Rico, entered the scheduled 10-round bout as an underdog, but he never acted the part against Miranda, of Mexico, who had knocked out 23 of his 24 opponents.
While he started a bit slowly, Cruz never backed down. Early into the fifth round of a close, exciting fight, Cruz dropped Miranda with a solid left hand to the chin. While Miranda attempted to beat the count, referee Steve Smoger waved off the contest at 0:39.
I am so proud to win and prove myself, Cruz said. This is my first time fighting on national television. This is very emotional for me. I am so excited and humbled and this only motivates me to keep working and keep proving myself.
ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood felt Mirandas knockout percentage may have hurt him. Miranda clearly suffered from having knocked out so many opponents so easily, Farhood said. When he didnt get rid of Cruz, the fight turned quite suddenly. To his credit, Cruz never lost his composure; he stayed in the pocket and perfectly timed the one punch that ended the fight.
Russell, Jr., of Capitol Heights, Md., was not overwhelmed with his performance. I give myself a C+ for my performance tonight, he said after whipping Reyes, of Dallas, whose record dropped to 3-3. But I am excited that I got this opportunity to have my pro debut on SHOWTIME. I want to come back as quickly as possible and show everyone my A skills.
In a bit of a surprise, Mexicos Quintero (15-1) mostly overpowered Casal (18-4-1) of Chicago.
After Quintero thoroughly dominated the third round, Casal made the decision to retire on his stool. As he sat down, he could be overheard saying that he didnt want to continue.
When asked by his corner what the problem was he responded, No legs, no legs man. Thats it. Im done. His corner signaled to referee Mike England that the boxer did not intend to continue.
SHOWTIME will replay Fridays telecast on Jan. 22 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHO 2.
Nick Charles called the action from ringside with boxing historian Farhood serving as expert analyst. The executive producer of ShoBox is Gordon Hall with Richard Gaughan producing and Rick Phillips directing.
ShoBox: The New Generation will return on Friday, Feb. 6, when undefeated, world-ranked Andre Ward will defend his NABO super middleweight title against Henry Buchanan from The Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino in Lemoore, Calif. (11 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast).

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 11/16/14
Ravens RB Ray Rice mentioned that he expects to see a "nice workload" during the second half of the season. Rice has been very effective this season, as he's currently averaging 4.94 yards per carry, but the number of touches that he has received has been held in check while the team has been employing an uptempo offense this season. As the weather worsens, a team's running game becomes more and more important to their offensive strategy. The Ravens have already said that they would like to improve their time of possession, so it seems likely that Rice will be in line for more carries in the coming weeks.

New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman signed another ex-superstar to a minor-league deal, ex-Angels-White Sox-Red Sox pitcher Bartolo Colon.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Colon will earn $900K in the majors and has the right to be released if he isn't on the team after Spring Training.
Is Cashman really this desperate?
In 2005, Colon won the AL CY Young award, but has since completely imploded, both physically and mentally.
The following three seasons, 2006-2009, Colon had 14 wins in 47 starts, one complete game, allowed 44 balls to go yard, only had 172 strikeouts and pitched a total of 226 innings.
You might remember Colon back in 2008, when the Red Sox were the only ones interested in signing the overweight pitcher, who stood at 5'11″ and tipped the scale at 245 lbs.
Making seven starts for Boston, the injury-prone Colon found himself back on the DL again.
Colon then left Boston for his home in the Dominican Republic to tend to personal issues and never returned. The reason given was, "He didn't feel like it."
Colon's attitude is why no team wanted him in the first place; add that to all the injuries and that, my friend, is the definition of being unreliable.
By no means am I trying to erase how talented Colon used to be, but since he took home pitching's biggest honor, he has been a mess. Continue reading 'Brain Cashman: GM Makes New York Yankees Look Desperate By Signing Bartolo Colon' »

Bamboo, I love you, and disagree with you on Polar Bear Cafe, thing puts me to sleep.
Different strokes.
Glad that you love Space Brothers, and loved Tari Tari, me too!
Kokoro Connect isn't over yet, it's slotted for at least another episode, if not an entire season. I have no idea where it could go next and not seem tired, but you wrote it off as done. It's not. God help us.

Hell yes! Tari Tari on the top of the list where it rightfully belongs! Definitely the favorite of my season.
That was really funny! I really wish you'd have also talked about how they were trying to project Asuna as the perfect dream wife. I like her, but I think they kinda need to slow down with how overbearing she becomes in professing her love. It doesn't feel real enough even though they've been through countless hurdles and its reached a point where its totally okay for them to sleep together (in-game).
Second Coming! Yes, that's exactly what we need in the second season!

|I don't mean to be 'that guy' (but I guess I am ><) but you skipped straight from #10 to #12 and left out Natsuyuki Rendezvous. I am curious what your thoughts on the show are, as I've been leaving it for a marathon since it seemed a show that's subtlety would be missed one at a time. Really enjoying the column Bamboo, keep it up!

Caught up with SAO and have to disagree with a lot of things that people praise it for you. It's enjoyable, there's no doubt in my mind about that. I just can't stand Asuna and Kirito anymore. I like the supporting cast more than those two. Call it a personal preference or whatever, they just get on my nerves (no pun intended of course.) and make me want to drop the show. I only want to continue because of the characters I actually like.
Only show still on the list that I really enjoyed was The Ambition of Oda Nobuna. I had the same complaints as Bamboo regarding the pacing (Seriously, what was up with that?) but I enjoyed every minute of it which is more than I can say about a lot of shows this season.

Kirito mentioned in episode 1 when Kayaba was speaking that NerveGear has a back-up battery, but the safety can't be tampered with or it'll fry your brain. So, it looks like, you can disconnect and then you have to reconnect before the battery runs out.

Maybe he read the instruction manual before playing the game? It was something he mentioned to Klein in episode 1 during Kayaba's speech.
Supposedly, in the novel, Kayaba said he contacted the authorities and they had a two-hour window to coordinate and move players to some place they can be cared for. This of course was not mentioned in the anime.

This is why I can not watch this show. I would spend most of my time screaming at the TV. There is a limit to my suspension of disbelief, and this show is way over it. It was much the same way with the Index franchise, and after several heated arguments with fans of that series I have decided it was best not to involve myself in them. But I still find it irritating when people expound the glories of a show that's plot/premise makes no logical sense.
I was going to write off Ambition, but then I saw this prototype figure (about a third of the way down the page). It looks really cool, and I'm kind of thinking of buying it. But I can't buy a figure with watching the show at first. It is good to know that Ambition isn't that bad. Although I agree, please Japan, let this subgenre die. It's for the good of humanity.

I think if you combined Sengoku Otome with Oda Nobuna you could get a much stronger show in general.
Sengoku Collection is clearly the best of the group though, but very different from the others.

Actually, "The Stream" before this one had her overall opinion of the show, since it only has 11 episodes (like most shows on the noitaminA timeslot). #11 was omitted this week because it was the rating Natsuyuki Rendezvous received, there were no major shifts in rankings this time, and it would be redundant to re-post it.

2009 BEST Davis Square Restaurant, Neighborhood
Gargoyles on the Square
Visiting Gargoyles only on date night (yes, the lighting flatters; true, the velvet cascades) is like eating oysters only to boost your mojo. Both should be enjoyed, and often, on their own merits—nooky prospects be damned. Wash away the workday with a silky but strong cocktail (we love the summer-in-a-glass Backyard), and refuel for tomorrow with chef Jason Santos's seasonally inspired fare. And, if you must, flirt at the dish sitting at the next table.

Dick hard as rock to keep it onyx on some Brock shit
from Calez – Scottish Lyrics on Genius
Calez is pulling a Pokemon reference, as Brock was once a main character from the anime, and Onix (A rock type Pokemon) was one of his main Pokemon.
In the anime, Brock was almost always trying to pick up the ladies. Since Calez dick is hard as a rock/onyx, he's going to be doing the same thing.

From the Publisher"If you were going to read one book to become informed about the social, political, economic, and cultural impacts of the Chinese Revolution in rural China and trends after the decline of Mao Tse-tsung's towering influence on it, this would be an excellent choice....well-crafted, highly informative." Journal of Anthropological Research
"The tight fabric of the book is dense with factual detail and social scientific theory, happily seasoned with biographical accounts of individual actors in the drama over the decades." B.E. Wallacker, Choice
"As one of the first major ethnographic investigations of rural society in the People's Republic, Potter and Potter's book deserves widespread attention....an impressive ethnography. It should be of interest to all who study rural China, regardless of disciplne." Andrew B. Kipnis, Journal of Asian and African Studies

"Ceylon, a large island and British colony in the Indian Ocean, separated on the N.W. from India by the Gulf of Manaar and Palk Strait. It lies between 5° 55' and 9° 51' N. and between 79° 41' and 81° 54' E. Its extreme length from north to south is 2 712 m.; its greatest width is 1371 m.; and its area amounts to 25,481 sq. m., or about five-sixths of that of Ireland. In its general outline the island resembles a pear, the apex of which points towards the north."[1] The island is now called Sri Lanka.
The Portuguese arrived in the early 16th century, followed by the Dutch in the 17th Century with the British, as usual, arriving late - 1796 - when the British East India Company established control. In 1802 Ceylon became a British Crown Colony. The island was unified in 1815 (previously there had been three kingdoms) and the island finally gained its independence in 1948.
Military actions
- War against Dutch in Ceylon -1795-96
- 1st Kandyan War - 1803-05
- 2nd Kandyan War - 1815
- 3rd Kandyan War (Uva Rebellion) - 1817-18
Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps
The Ceylon Planters Rifle Corps was a Volunteer Corps established in 1861. Initially the movement consisted of the Ceylon Light Infantry Volunteers but by the 1900s also had Artillery, Medical, Engineers and Supply and Transport units.
The CPRC sent a contingent to South Africa in 1902 along with a detachment of the Ceylon Mounted Infantry. In 1910 the force became known as the Ceylon Defence Force.
A Corps of 150 'fine young Englishmen' left Ceylon in 1914, comprised not only of planters but also Government servants, Colombo businessmen and others. They served in Egypt and were then attached to the Wellington infantry Battalion of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in the ANZAC division at Gallipoli. The high standard of the men led to virtually all of them receiving commissions and they went on to serve in other regiments which meant this Corps then ceased to exist. [2]
Except for the few short years when the East India Company was in control (1796-1802) records for Ceylon will not be found in the India Office Records at the British Library, but at The National Archives at Kew. For example, the description and succession books of the Ceylon Rifles covering years 1809-1872 are held under reference W025/638-641 (these include officers services) and reference WO23/158 includes the admission books for the Ceylon Rifles and Gun Lascars for the period May 1868-Sept 1876. Personal data may also be held amongst the National Archive's Administrative Records of Ceylon (Sri Lanka).
Some birth marriage and death information in respect of civil registration from 1867 may be obtained by writing to Registrar General's Office, New Secretariat, Maligawatta, Colombo 10, Sri Lanka.
In Holland, located in the same building as the National Archives at The Hague but a separate organization, is the 'Centraal Bureau voor Genealogie' (Central Bureau for Genealogy - CBG) , the Dutch information and documentation centre for genealogy, family history and related sciences. Researchers visiting this centre found some copies of records relating to British Ceylon christenings. [3]
LDS Records
For general details about LDS records, including microfilms, see IGI.
Sri Lanka, Colombo District Dutch Reformed Church Records 1677-1990 are available on the familysearch website. These are not searchable by name but as images that can be browsed [4]
The North Parramatta Family History Centre in Sydney, Australia has the detailed indexes to the Baptisms and Marriages at the Dutch Reformed Church at Wolfendaal, Colombo, up to 1897. These are not LDS microfilms but are spiral bound photocopies made from the journals and indexes at Victor Melder's Sri Lankan Library in Melbourne.
Churches and cemeteries
A researcher advised a trip to Sri Lanka in 2010 "uncovered masses of records in churches in Kandy, Colombo, Galle and Matara that need to be photographed ASAP... The Methodist Church seems to have centralised all records prior to 1982 in Colombo".[5] "The Anglican church records are at the Diocesan library in Colombo. The records are from churches all over the Island."[6]
Several kinds of registers of the Dutch Reformed Church at Galle and Matara are to be found in the main office of the Christian Reformed Church of Sri Lanka, in Colombo. The volumes include baptismal (1677-1807), marriage (1744-1847) and burial registers (1770-1840s), all for Galle, and a baptismal register for Matara 1776-1800. No inventory is available and some of the material is heavily damaged. In the future, the collection may be transferred to the Wolvendaal Church[7]
The Galle Face Burial Ground was opened in 1803 and located on the south side of the Fort.[8] Trying to locate this cemetery which appears to have also been the Garrison cemetery, a researcher was told that a Roman Catholic church had been built on the site and all the tombstones moved to the Kanatte cemetery. She also visited the Garrison cemetery in Kandy which has been restored [9]

BAGHDAD: The person believed to have recorded Saddam Hussein's execution on a cell phone camera was arrested on Wednesday, an adviser to Iraq's Prime Minister said.
The adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to the media, did not identify the person. But he said it was ``an official who supervised the execution'' and who is ``now under investigation''.
``In the past few hours, the Government has arrested the person who made the video of Saddam's execution,'' he said.
Iraqi state television aired an official video of the hanging, which had no audio and never showed Saddam's actual death. But the cellphone video showed the former leader being taunted in his final moments, with witnesses shouting ``go to hell'' before he dropped through the gallows floor and swung dead at the end of a rope.
The unruly scene aired on Al-Jazeera television and was posted on the Internet, prompting a worldwide outcry and big protests among Iraq's Sunnis. AP
