"I was perfectly willing to believe that they were smarter than I was," Vonnegut said of critics, "because that was often the case in high school." He must've felt obliged to retrench. His novels since have been exquisitely crafted and profoundly felt, and in many ways they're richer than his '60s classics. But the later books are also wary of appearing too ridiculous or zany. Jailbird's flaw is the way its hero is made a minor Watergate criminal as thematic insurance; that's the sort of weighty subject sure to impress people with its seriousness, but it plainly didn't interest Vonnegut much.
When I pitched this theory, he decided I was putting him down. (Fuck, no: I was practically gooey with sympathy. But in approaching American writers, maybe my bedside manner needs work--like junking it, say.) Anyhow, he took refuge in base materialism: "Yeah, well, again, I had people to feed."
Those Depression guys are cagey--they'll submit to crass-sounding characterizations of themselves, and dare you to believe that cynicism tells the real story. Bob Dole, who's Vonnegut's age, has the same m.o. And maybe it wasn't an act. People who lived through the Depression never do believe they're safe. Still, it sounded preposterous: Slaughterhouse-Five could have kept the Vonneguts on caviar through the millennium. Another shrug: "There's envy, too. You hear about somebody else who got a million dollars, and your wife is sort of wondering, 'Well, what the hell's the matter with you?"' Cackle.
That was his only mention of wives. His first died a few years back, long after their divorce; the goodbye chat between "we two old friends from Indianapolis" is one of Timequake's loveliest moments. His second, literary shutterbug Jill Krementz, is very much with us and him, and nobody else snaps Kurt much. (Nice work if you can get it; she and Linda McCartney must get together and just laugh and laugh.) In one book, Vonnegut kept calling Krementz "Xanthippe," and even if their marriage survived that telltale moniker it sure looks like "Hello, Blue Monday" from here.
Here's the second most heartbreaking sentence in postwar American fiction: "You mean you are giving us four thousand bucks?" Lolita to Humbert, natch. Since she's a good American girl, and broke and pregnant right then, the cash is realer to her than anything--and so, too briefly, is she to us. It's one of the few times we don't see her through Humbert's rose-colored telescopic sights.
However unlikely it sounds--plenty, right?--I also think Vonnegut and Nabokov have things in common. No, not everything: Vonnegut, I love. Nabokov, I revere. But they're both the products of lost paradises, which reverberate in their work with a nostalgia unmarred by self-pity. Nabokov's idyllic, cushy Russian youth has the advantage of sounding like paradise; Vonnegut's was prewar Indianapolis, which doesn't. His parents didn't have a happy adulthood: his mother finally killed herself not long before Kurt was captured in the Battle of the Bulge. Even so, he's one of the few American writers to have had a happy childhood, which was also a privileged one, until his prosperous family went bust in the Depression.
That's why this utter democrat is so informed on a subject his more innocent readers must take for pure fantasy: class distinctions. America's class system is a swimming pool--too murky to see much of from the bottom, but clear if you've had a chance to look down. "Talk about class prejudice," Vonnegut confessed. "I didn't ever think we'd get any good books out of Vietnam. I thought the soldiers were all too blue-collar!" He may have been right.
From modesty, but maybe also on principle, he often plays the unlettered barbarian. But his background was cultivated and artsy. "I took clarinet lessons from the first chair of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra," he told me--not boasting, just with wonderment. "I knew Paul Davidson, who made the friezes on the front of my high school. You know--he was a sculptor!" Many novelists are cultural numbskulls off their turf, but Vonnegut's responsiveness to painting and music is ardent. Although he's basically a jazzbo, his eyes never lit up so happily as when he talked about the Beatles: "Godalmighty, it worked on all generations--we were all so cheered up by that. And talk about an accident! Just how did they stumble on music so attractive to so many people?"
He's also a literary man to his toes. If his novels skip the fancy footwork--though only someone who doesn't know how books are made would call such intricate productions simple--that's only because he doesn't confuse his response to art with a view of life. Even so, at least since Mother Night, his novels have often doubled as parables about art and artists. Timequake, in which Kilgore Trout finally gets to be the hero, is openly one: the building Trout rushes into to save the day houses the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Just like Nabokov, Vonnegut's also used far-fetched and seemingly utterly fanciful images and situations to render his emotional autobiography. By now, the Vonnegut clan's gone bust in many grotesque contexts; Dresden and prewar Indianapolis have been destroyed and redestroyed almost like the same century was busy getting rid of both; and Vonnegut's own ups and downs have been reimagined as any number of pratfalls in space and time. What's most remarkable is that he's managed to achieve all this in the form (not just the guise) of popular entertainment. He may be the last novelist to believe that first-rate literature can be popular entertainment, much less prove it. How did he stumble on writing so attractive to so many people?

Joe Budden ft. Emanny - Short Summer
Artist: Joe Budden
Featuring: Emanny
Producer: Beewirks
Album: Mood Muzik 4 Mixtape
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 31 votes )
In a game full of narcissists, no one likes to talk about himself more than Joe Budden (ok, expect for Diddy). Lucky for us, New Jersey's most suicidal rapper also happens to be one of the best lyricists alive. Come on, how many other emcees would you listen to an eight minute track like Short Summer from? Produced by Beewirks, whose decision to rock out at the end of the track is responsible for a large chunk of the track's substantial running length, and featuring a hook from Emanny, true to form Joe packs Short Summer with rewind worthy lines, including a biting Brandy car crash reference, and some of the best NBA-related bars I've ever heard: in addition to Chris Duhon and Ray Felton name drops, we get gems like "Lebron was king until the pressure got him weighed (Wade)." Goddamn. That's all, just damn. Short Summer is the first leak from Budden's hotly anticipated and currently unscheduled Mood Muzik 4 mixtape, which given Joe's unpredictable history will drop sometime between tomorrow and never.

Maple Leaf Hangout Episode #21 with special guest Paul Hendrick
Honoured to have Leafs TV's Paul Hendrick join Michael and Michael to talk Leafs.
Its sad when I am "happy" that it was only 2 games for Dion for a hit I see about 20 times a night across the Centre Ice pak universe. This 'turn then flop' bullshit when guys feel the contact they know is coming is out of hand. I mean its obvious that Dion lets off him, its just that Dion is a bit of a tank and was flying in there like he should. Its a grown up sport out there and the league needs to remind its employees to not routinely put themselves in danger hoping for a penalty and or suspension. Especially when the standard the league tries to convey to the public is so out of whack and obviously slanted and inconsistent , that its a literal crap shoot of interpretation now. An absolute joke. How can players play with any confidence if they have to play tentative ....especially when wearing a Leaf jersey under the spotlight of the entire NHL. Definitely a tough time to lose Dion but we need to rally behind this nonsense and wake the fuck up here. GLG
Off to the woods to slay some trees and listen to Alec's bestie O'Dog
Guy's entertaining but definitely a brick short of a full one.
Free Dion!
#Leafs starting to trickle on to ice at MCC. Holland followed by Ashton
Hearing 2 games for Phaneuf
Does anyone here know why the maple leaf is blue instead of green or say a more autumn themed colour?
When I look at this team right now, I have really had to alter my expectations to the point where I am starting to ask what can we do to make next year better. With the cap going up, it looks like we may be able to do something but it has to be smart. This team still lacks physicality and the ability to win pucks. Bringing back Komarov is one move I would make and depending on the availability of Grabovski and how he plays this year I would even explore a return by him.
A true first line C would be a top priority, but as we have seen these do not move around very often. The only thing we might be able to do is make a deal to move up high in the draft and try that route. Even then we would be looking at a player who is not going to contribute for at least a couple years maybe.
Hey guys, any word on p9?
Hey guys...Anyone been following the Marlies closely this year...I must admit so far I have not. But it looks like Sam Carrick is putting up decent numbers in his role as a 21 year old. Any thoughts on which guys are standing out.
Oh, almost forgot, great guest (Paul Hendrick) on the hangout too. Look forward to some of his experiences from before.
Once again love the hangout guys. Layoff Langlois he's doing a fine job. Some of us old timers tend to go off like he does because we need more time to gather our thoughts so as not to make a stupid comments. Remember this is a true fan site, not a big media biased production. It's the average guy or gal giving their opinion with the occasional pro bringing us back to reality. That's what makes this site the best " Your thoughts actually count whether we agree or not. Like they said in the Hangout, we are the luckiest fans in the world were we can discuss our favorite pastime, 365 days a yr. Enjoy the ride the Leafs provide because our lives wouldn't mean as much without it.
Over 30 minutes now since Practice was supposed to begin... Quiet at MCC
For those that have not seen it yet, Good news
@Shift_Disturber1 hey didn't someone on boston hit a leafs' player in the head? Why isn't that dirt bag getting suspended?
@Shift_Disturber1 Let me be the first to say Bullshit.
@Shift_Disturber1 Maybe the Leafs should just forfeit
@Burtonboy and Seidenberg? :)
It is blue because Conn Smythe was a protestant and wanted the blue instead of the traditional green of the catholics, so he changed the colours when they changed team names.
I'm guessing Ontario Tory blue..unsure though.
@deedrag The Toronto Maple Leafs are based off an army contingent not the actual Maple Leaf itself.
Never read TSN comments...automatic IQ loss of 20 points
Stick with us Mensas ;)
@Murph2417 Life advice. Don't ever read the comments on TSN.
some but their last 2 games they couldnt score more then 1 goal and lost
@B_Leaf Have an update from our new Marlies guy going up soon.
@Murph2417 Lol.
@Burtonboy Methinks it's a team meeting about what they need to do about this shit show that's been going on.
@Burtonboy They are all out side Shanny's door, waiting threateningly
@Mind Bomb Thx for the link MB.
@MaxwellHowe @Shift_Disturber1 I dont wanna watch this nightmare.
Somebody quick tell them 1 game or .or somebody is really going to get hurt ,Snanny u listening,it could be U
40 lashes with a wet noodle
@rustynail @Burtonboy A pat on the back for a good hit
@rustynail @Burtonboy Given a stern talking to.
Pretty sure it had to do with the unofficial anthem Maple Leaf Forever which was a favorite in the times as well.
@Uncle Otis @deedrag Good one.
@BBirde @deedrag
see here....
Where Langlois when you need him:)
He'd know
That playboy sure was right/wrong about Ranger :)
Cool thanks AB
Hopefully with a mittfull of those unbreakable sticks Shifty posted last night. :)
@deedrag @Mind Bomb My pleasure
@Murph2417 @Mind Bomb That would be even better lol Maybe people will stop trading Kulie over a few hundred K
re 2 head shots not to mention Our goalies getting rammed into the net where goals that were made because of this were allowed to stand ,FUC this makes me .......
@Reimocerous @rustynail @Burtonboy didn't even get a meeting did he, that two head shots in two consecutive games against us and nary a whisper from Shanny
@Reimocerous @rustynail @Burtonboy Not even.
Right..the orange men of course.
Wondered if Smythe was determined to step away from Catholic colours if there was another connection to blue in the religious context
Anyway,Blue it is.
Not a bad pint either :)
@hoolihan @Uncle Otis That's shocking if the blue part goes back that long ago
@Uncle Otis @hoolihan I'd really like to see a flaming red leaf to honour their 100th anniversary. Even for just one game.
yes...did the Protestants have a "colour"?
People forget this was long before Pearson and the flag etc.
Tories were always blue too...connection?
@Tim Horton @deedrag I love this. History is full of great stuff. Thx to all of you for your help.
@deedrag "The uniform colours remained green and white for a year after he purchased the team out of respect for the previous organization. He then changed the colours to blue and white, likely due to his long time involvement with the Unversity of Toronto Blues hockey team who have the same colours. Past Public Relations Director, Stan Obodiac was fond of saying the blue represented the blue of the Canadian sky and the white represented the white of the Canadian snow." http://www.tmlfever.com/LeafsLogoHistory.html
@BBirde @deedrag Wow, just found out it was green for 1yr.
http://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/28 Thx for the info bbirde.
@deedrag I'm not sure as to why it is Blue and White but Smythe made the decision when he renamed them from the St.Pats to the Toronto Maple Leafs. I mean the first jersey for them was blue and white, just continued to carry it forward I suppose.
@Uncle Otis @Mind Bomb Good idea lol

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Three additional Disaster Recovery Centers will open in New Jersey Thursday to respond to the needs of residents of storm-tossed Hudson, Union and Mercer counties, FEMA officials announced today. With these new centers, FEMA will have nine Disaster Recovery Centers operating in the Garden State in the wake of April?s nor?easter storm and flooding.
?We respond to residents? needs. That?s our business,? said Peter Martinasco, the Federal Coordinator Officer for NJ disaster relief. ?At the Disaster Recovery Centers, people will be able to check on the status of their applications, and also get important information on other federal programs for which they may be eligible.?
The locations of the new centers are:
Cranford Police Station
8 Springfield Ave.
Cranford, NJ 07016
Trenton Fire Station
244 Perry St.
Trenton, NJ 08618
Secaucus OEM
1377 Paterson Plank Rd.
Secaucus, NJ 07097
The three new centers will open at 10am Thursday, and stay open until 8pm. Thereafter they will be open each day from 8am to 8pm.
?We want to be where the people who need us are,? said George Georgeles of the NJ Office of Emergency Management. ?These additional recovery centers will extend our reach and speed the recovery process for everyone?.
One way to speed the process, Lt. Georgeles noted, is to register for assistance before visiting the Disaster Recovery Centers. To register for assistance, residents should call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362). Speech and hearing impaired residents should call TTY:1-800-462-7585.
The state?s six other Disaster Recovery Centers, each of which is open from 8am to 8pm daily, are:
Bound Brook Borough
St. Paul?s Episcopal Church
Bound Brook,, NJ
Manville Borough
Manville Rescue Squad
2 South Third Ave.
Manville, NJ
Bergen County Office Building
1 Bergen Plaza (next to 10 Main St.)
Hackensack, NJ
Fairfield Township
Fairfield Community Center
376 Hollywood Ave.
Fairfield, NJ
Thomas Roger Building
2 Market Street, 2nd Floor
Paterson, NJ
Lumberton Municipal Building Parking Lot
34 Municipal Drive
Lumberton, NJ
The centers are a convenient way for residents to meet face to face with recovery experts and to check the status of their Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) registration for Individual Assistance, or to learn more about other assistance they may be eligible for.
FEMA?s Individual Assistance program provides grants for temporary housing, transportation expenses, moving and storage expenses, funeral, medical and dental expenses. In addition, individuals who complete a SBA loan application -- even if they do not own a small business ? may be eligible for assistance that covers structural damage, personal property, vehicle repair or replacement. To find out whether you qualify, you must register. SBA disaster experts will be on hand in the Disaster Recovery Centers to help people fill out their SBA loan packages.
If you were affected by the April flooding and have not yet registered, you can do so by calling the FEMA registration line at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362). Individuals with hearing or speech impairments should call (TTY) 1-800-462-7585. The registration lines are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., daily. You can also register online at www.fema.gov.
FEMA coordinates the federal government?s role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of, responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of terror.

By six or seven months of age, most babies are able to sit up in high chairs for feedings.Melissa
But with that convenience comes safety risks.
Hi, we're Ellie and Melissa, the Baby Planners, and we'll help you make feeding time fun and safe step by step.
No matter what type of high chair you like--from classic wood to a more modern style–always buy new.
That's because recalls of high chairs are fairly common, so older models may not be safe.
Be sure to check out recall notices on the Consumer Product Safety Commission website before you go shopping.
There are four basic models: The classic, with a tray. Some even recline so you can use them earlier.;
The European style, with no tray. At around nine months you can bring baby close to the table, and they can last through toddlerhood.;
The hybrid, which does have a tray but looks more like furniture. It too can grow into a toddler chair.;
And the portable chair, which clips onto a table and is great for small places and traveling.
Some high chairs need no assembly – others have simple-to-follow setup instructions.
(fast music)
As with all things baby, be sure to read all instructions and safety warnings, and don't hesitate to ask for help.
Choose a chair with a wide base, sturdy enough to stay in place in case it gets bumped. Look for some of the following features:
Adjustable seats and footrests for baby;
Adjustable height for you and your back;
Can it fold up for easy storage;
And can you adjust all of the features with one hand?
If it's a collapsible model, secure the locking devices before each use. If there are wheels – lock those down too.
A fixed, center crotch post helps keep baby from slipping under the tray. The leg openings should be only wide enough for one little leg at a time.
Always use safety straps to prevent baby from sliding or standing. Chairs should be equipped with three point or five point harnesses—any less just isn't safe.
Keep the high chair out of reach of counters, tables or stoves to prevent burns and the possibility the child could push against those surfaces and tip over.
Do not allow older children to use the chair as a toy – climbing, pulling or swinging all pose a risk.
All plugs and caps should be firmly attached to the chair – not loose enough to pull off and create a choking hazard.
Trays with wide rims help keep food in place and detach when it's time for a rinse.But have a plan before you take it off and walk away. Never leave baby unattended.
High chairs provided by restaurants are magnets for germs – keep your baby wipes handy.
And often they have missing or broken safety straps – that's why some parents choose to bring their own.
Just know this: designs that hook on to tables are not for everyday use.
When traveling or eating out, select one that locks securely onto the table – and make sure the table supports baby's weight without tipping.
Keep tiny toes away from table legs so there's no danger the child can push back and dislodge the seat.
The move to the high chair is a major milestone in a baby's first year.
Everyone will enjoy the freedom as long as you play it safe – step by step.

Q: "A natural gas shale line from Marcellus Shale gas in Pennsylvania may extend into the Northeastern states in the next year, if approved (Quote from CBS 12/3/2014) We currently are using oil heat. Replacing the furnace with natural gas will save us a lot of money. How can we avoid the health risks associated with natural gas?"Thanks Tom.
Answer: Continue using carbon monoxide alarms and smoke detectors as you have been doing, remembering to test them monthly and change batteries once a year. I would also suggest you add a Scentry III Gas Shut Off system on your main line into the home as well as Safe-T-Alert Combustible Gas Alarm or a Safety Siren III natural gas alarm near your natural gas appliances such as ranges, fireplaces, etc.
With the Scentry III GFRAB, you can add additional remote sensors, a battery back-up and a connection to a home monitoring system if you have one or plan to get one.
Remember that natural gas is lighter than air and "puddles" at the ceiling above the appliance using it. If near an open stairway, the gas will go to the top of the stairway.
An annual furnace tune up with filter change is needed with gas furnaces as well as with oil. If you want the best disposable furnace filters, use the 4 inch or 1 inch Safe Home filters.
Thanks for your questions.

I understand that if a mosquito bites someone with the virus and that mosquito bites you, you are in for severe arthritic symptoms, possibly for months and flu-like symptoms. What suggestions do you have to avoid this nasty new virus? Thanks. Steve."
For your person, we suggest liberal use of mosquito repellent products whenever you go outside. Wear long sleeved shirts, long pants and socks. Avoid being outside unprotected between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes tend to swarm.

Good luck and enjoy your summer!

Question about a portable medication box with timer.
Question: "I need a portable pill box small enough to fit in my briefcase. This would be one with a timer to alert me when I need to take my medications. The pills I take are fairly large. What do you suggest? Thanks. Jim."
Answer: The Med-Q Pill Boxes would be our recommendation. The Blue Med-Q is a digital pill box with a double beep alarm and a flashing LED light The White Med-Q is similar except that the alarm sounds only a single beep.
For those who need to take medications 4 times a day, we suggest you purchase one of each using one color for days and one for nights.
These units share many common features. Each is 9 inches by 4.5 inches by about 1.0 inch.

Question about when, where and how to replace incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs.
Question: "How do I know what bulbs to purchase for replacements? Are there any places that I should not use an LED light bulb? They are certainly more expensive now that stores are selling 60 watt incandescent bulbs, 6 bulbs for $2.00. Thanks. Tim."
Answer: First, as many bloggers have noted, you have to see these bulbs as investments. You won't save hundreds of dollars in a year or two on your electric bill unless you have a huge building that needs all its lights replaced. The savings comes over time and with convenience, the convenience of not having to replace light bulbs in rooms where lamps or ceiling fixtures are on for many hours per day or year. LED stands for "light emitting diodes."
Second, you must make sure that replacement bulbs are dimmable ones for lamps or fixtures that have that feature. And there are no "3 way" bulbs like 50/100/150 available as yet.
Third, there are no 60 watt, 75 watt, etc. bulbs. Every bulb is rated in lumens. Lumens are the amount of light that is produced when a bulb is powered on.
Here is a basic chart that should help:
Incandescent Bulb Wattage Lumens LED Bulb Watt Equivalent
25 watt 250 4-9 Watts
40 watt 450 9-13
60 watt 800 13-15
75 watt 1100 18-25
100 watt 1600 23-30
125 watt 2000 22-40
150 watt 2600 40-45
Warm white is the preferred color for most people in their homes. 2,700 and 3,500 Kelvin are what you are looking to purchase for home use.
So remember that lumens are what you are looking for, not wattage.
Here is an A19 LED 60 watt equivalent bulb that Safe Home now sells. Equvalent to a 40-60 watt incandescent bulb yet uses only 8 watts of electricity. Epistar LED chip. Warm white color. Short neck. Not dimmable. 3000K. 180 degree beam angle.
As Safe Home continues to add LED bulbs, I'll be adding them to this blog.
Thanks for your question.

Q: "Do you sell ceramic beverage mugs that fit into car beverage holders? I prefer ceramic or stoneware. Coffee seems to taste better than from a plastic mug. My wife and I are animal and bird lovers so decorative ones would be better and great gifts for friends. Thanks. Jim."
Answer: Safe Home has two styles, the more typical one that is cylindrical on the bottom and others that slim down to fit into the beverage holder.
The two primary brands are American Expedition and Evergreen Enterprises. These are 16 ounce or 17 ounce mugs. Both have lids so sipping as you travel is easier and the lid helps to keep the beverage hot (or cold) as you desire.
Among the more popular ones are:

Q:"What remote monitors does Safe Home Products sell that have bettery back-ups and do not require a land line. I have a Blue Tooth type cell phone I want to use. I need to monitor the temperature of my Florida home while I am up North. Thanks. Will."
Answer: There are two lower priced Sensaphone remote monitors that use 6 C cells (not included) as power back-up. The Sensaphone Desk Top Monitor FGD400 includes an internal programmable temperature monitor. For that you would need to purchase the Sensaphone FGD-0230 Bluetooth Interface for Cell Phone . That interface also works with the Sensaphone Desktop Monitoring System 800, 8 External Outputs for Sensors which also uses 6 C cells (not included) as power back-up. You can add additional sensors for moisture, humidity, intrusion, etc.
Currently these Sensaphone Models can use cell phones with the Bluetooth interface FGD-0230:

Q: "I don't understand the value of installing a Floodstop single appliance water shut off system on my water heater. Isn't the water heater going to leak out all 40 or 50 gallons of water anyway? Thanks. Tom."
Answer: We discussed this with our Floodstop distributor, did some on-line research and remembered our own failed water heaters over the years. As our distributor explained, water heater water loss is typically from a pin-hole leak caused by corrosion to the inside lining of the tank. With Floodstop, you can choose to daisy-chain several sensors together to extend under the tank (if raised) or on the side where the sewer drain lies. Once a FloodStop sensor detects a leak, the Floodstop valve is immediately closed. Typically this pin-hole does not get larger because the Floodstop valve closure creates a kind of vacuum within the tank so no more water escapes. This is like putting your finger over the top end of a straw with water in it. That is why it is not necessary to have a device that shuts off the gas or the electricity to the water heater.
You, the home or apartment dweller, will know you have an issue to deal with when you get home hours, days or weeks later. You'll either hear the alarm or you'll go to the sink and there is no water immediately. Once you break the vacuum, the pin hole leak will again begin to drip. By then, the owner will shut off the water and the vacuum will resume. Then you'll be shopping for a new water heater.
Among plumbers and owners of high rise condo complexes,, the Floodstop is considered to be the best choice to prevent water disasters. Unfortunately, sometimes almost brand new water heaters begin to drip. Ex. My late Mom's installed 6 years prior to her death, lasted one year before it began to leak. Luckily it was in a visible basement area and was caught before any significant damage occurred.
Floodstop Automatic Water Systems for Water Heaters Come in These Sizes:
Extra moisture sensors are also available. And these new Floodstops use either 4 AA batteries and AC power or can operate only on the 4AA batteries.
All Floodstop Units Include:
Technical Specifications:

I never practiced spirituality in the 'spiritual' sense, but I believed in a greater power and was curious about it. That drove me to read a lot. In the late 90s I read Many Lives Many Masters by Brian Weiss; the story about a woman in that book who went through 86 past lives to get rid of her problem had me floored! I read his second and third book too.
As much as I love reading, it often takes a backseat because there's so much to do. But I have these phases, when I can't stop myself. Over the last decade, I had undergone about 10 to12 MRI scans, tried acupuncture, acupressure and everything that modern science could offer for spondylities. Sometimes the bouts of pain were so severe that I wouldn't even be able to turn on the bed; someone had to help me get up and do things. Meanwhile, during my reading spells over the years I had delved further into past life regression through personal experiences of healing and visions that people had shared on their blogs. I've always had an obsession with the Nazi holocaust and the Rajput and Mughal times, so when I found a blogger from the US who had visions of the holocaust, I got in touch with her. Through therapy she had discovered that she was Jewish and lived in her past life in a ghetto in Warsaw. All other options having failed to improve my spondylitis condition, I thought of giving Past Life Regression Therapy (PLRT) a chance. I knew that even if nothing came out of it, the pain wouldn't worsen.
Shortly, I found a lady in Thane, who does PLRT; she turned out to be the mother of one of my juniors in school. I took a few sessions with her, but was unable to regress. Sometime later, I came across Trupti Jayin's blog, which also boasted of several success stories, and decided to give it shot again.
Her place in Juhu was a sea-facing one and her clinic was at the back of building. There's a separate room for PLRT, which only has a single bed. Music played in the background. I was asked to lie down, relax, let my palm face upwards and visualise a light entering me. Later she asked me to envision a well and go to its bottom. There I found several doors, she asked me to read what was written on it. I saw the year 1933. As soon as I opened it, I could see lush grass in front of me and a lot trees around. She asked me to walk forward and as I did I saw an ordinary village girl, who was an acquaintance, but looked just like my wife in my current life. In that life I was rebellious and had a temper; those traits describe me even today. The village panchayat had made a decision that I was against, for which I stood my ground. Villagers knew in their hearts that I was right, but still didn't support me. Later, some goons came and thrashed me with lathis.
At some point, I also saw myself hanging from a tree with a rope tied to my neck. In fact the person who did it is someone I know even in this life and don't get along with him even today. Dr. Trupti explained that due to that incident, the negative energy was trapped in my neck, which was reason for my pain and spondylitis in the current life. Towards the end of my session I was feeling severe pain. She asked me let go of the negative energy and forgive him. And as I did, I could feel the pain leaving me and actually felt very light, like I was floating. When I woke up, the pain had disappeared.
While regression didn't surprise me, its effect left me stunned.
I thought it would require at least two to three sessions for my problem to get resolved, but just in that one session that spanned about two and half hours cured my spondylitis by about 90%. I get the pain only once in maybe 3 months and that too only for about 10 minutes. Earlier it was a regular affair and there were also days-at-a-stretch during which I couldn't move. A lot of doctors had even attributed my neck pain to my job, as I constantly sit in from of the computer. But it's been three years since the therapy and my problem hasn't resurfaced. So surely sitting in front of the computer wasn't the cause.
When the goons were hitting me with stick, I was hurt badly on my legs too, which explain why in this life I feel a lot of heaviness in my right calf. I checked with several doctors about that too, but they say there's nothing wrong. My legs function normally–I can walk, run and do everything. But I need a weekly massage so that it doesn't go numb. Dr. Trupti asked me to take a session to cure that too, but there's been no time.
Another thing I had discovered during regression was that my mother in that life and current life are the same. And after a fight with her, I had left the village. When I told Dr. Trupti that in my current life my mother is very dominating and tries to control my life even though I am 36 years old and have a kid, she explained that it may be her response to my having abandoned her in my past life. She's subconsciously ensuring I don't go away. I've always had a love-hate relationship with my mother and haven't told her about the therapy and what I saw. But when we fight now, I know where she's coming from and that makes it easier to let go. I saw a lot more, I had jotted it all down when I returned home after the session, but my memory is a bit sketchy about those things.
After the experience, I haven't become overtly spiritual, but surely more than I used to be. My curiosity has increased as well. If a problem becomes severe, I'll go for the therapy again, but I also believe that life answers a lot of your questions when the time is appropriate, so I'll continue searching and waiting.
As told to Pooja Bhula

Party leaders to meet Manmohan Singh
NEW DELHI: Former Union Minister and BJP national secretary Vijay Goel and two party MLAs from South Delhi, Vijay Jolly and Ramesh Bidhuri, organised a protest march in the area on Friday to highlight inherent flaws in the controversial Bus Rapid Transit corridor that they alleged was not only hampering vehicular movement but had also proved to be a virtual death trap.
Charging that the "flawed" corridor had in the past few months claimed a number of lives, Mr. Goel said while it provides for dedicated corridors for buses, it has resulted in shrinking of space for other vehicles. And that is why traffic jams have become the order of the day, he alleged.
'Already late'
Mr. Goel added that while the 5.6-km BRT corridor from Ambedkar Nagar to Moolchand Hospital was initially due to open by this April, it was running late. He also demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation into the Rs.110-crore corridor stating that it was a drain on public money.
Mr. Jolly said while the corridor was being billed as a major infrastructure project, it lacked even proper sign boards and features for safety and security of bus passengers. "As the bus corridor is right in the middle of the road, passengers are required to cross the road to reach the bus shelters and this puts them at great peril," he said.
Mr. Bidhuri on his part termed the corridor a hastily planned project and declared that it would prove to be a failure as merely dividing the road was not a solution to heavy traffic movement.
Later, Mr. Goel declared that a delegation would meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and apprise him of the problems caused by the corridor so that the six similar new corridors being planned now do not add to the chaos.

Welcome, Dr. Daniel Shumpert
Lexington Medical Center is proud to welcome Daniel Shumpert, MD, to the hospital's network of care. He joins the board-certified physicians and mid-level providers at Lexington Family Practice Irmo to provide quality general medical care to patients from birth to geriatrics in a patient-focused environment.
A magna cum laude graduate from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, Dr. Shumpert earned his medical degree from the USC School of Medicine.

During his residency, he served on committees that supported continuing medical education and quality assurance initiatives, and actively volunteered at the Anderson Free Clinic, treating patients at the community-based free medical clinic.
Dr. Shumpert is board certified by the American Board of Family Medicine and has additional certifications in Nexplanon® insertion and advanced cardiac life support. He is also certified as a lab director through the Commission on Office Laboratory Accreditation. A member of the American Academy of Family Physicians and the South Carolina Medical Association, he specializes in offering comprehensive family medicine services.

Heart Surgeries and Procedures Continue at Lexington Medical Center
This week, a court ruling instructed Lexington Medical Center to close its third catheterization lab and second open heart surgery operating room. Acting in complete compliance, we will close them by the end of the week. Despite the closure of these two rooms, it's important to note that Lexington Medical Center's heart program continues to be operational. Heart surgeries and catheterizations will continue as they have for the last two years in our Duke-affiliated program.
Last year, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) announced a "suspension" of the Certificate of Need (CON) program because the governor and the legislature failed to fund the program. DHEC advised Lexington Medical Center and other providers to proceed with needed projects during the "suspension" of CON. Projects that were undertaken would still require a license from DHEC.
At the time, our hospital operated two cardiac catheterization labs and one open heart surgery suite. Lexington Medical Center had the need for an additional catheterization lab and an additional open heart surgery suite. Lexington Medical Center requested and DHEC provided licensure for an additional catheterization lab and an additional open heart surgery suite. With DHEC's approval, the units began providing care for our patients last year.
LMC's heart program has been very successful in terms of quality, patient satisfaction and volume. This year, our team will perform more than 300 open heart surgeries. As the program has been very successful, we felt the need to add capacity to care for the increasing number of patients who choose to rely on our physicians and facilities.
A Columbia hospital filed a lawsuit asking that Lexington Medical Center not be allowed to use the new units to care for our patients. This week, a judge ruled that DHEC should not have granted the licenses without having already approved a CON for them.
What does this mean for LMC's heart program? LMC will comply with the judge's ruling and discontinue operating the units that were added until LMC receives a CON to do so, or until the CON law is reformed or repealed. We will continue to operate the previously existing catheterization labs and open heart surgery suite, and our Duke-affiliated heart program will continue to thrive and provide great care for our patients.
Unfortunately, in South Carolina, heart health is a significant issue and that will not change in the near term. We are responding to the health needs of the people we serve. All we can do is offer the best possible care for the people within our community, and have sufficient capacity to meet their needs.

"I am happy that at least the media has finally understood. I am thankful that Hindi channels have taken it up. I will reveal some more pertaining to this scam within the next few days. What you are seeing is just the tip of an iceberg. Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti had herself said that this scam is even bigger than the fodder scam. Now you see even her name surfacing, this is nothing but a ploy by the Chouhan government to save its skin by keeping her name as a shield.

Sheets, Millard:Millard Owen Sheets, a leader in the California style watercolor movement, was born in California and raised by his grandparents at their horse ranch near Los Angeles. He was an elected member of the California Water Color Society by age 19. Sheets studied with F. Tolles Chamberlin and Clarence Hinkle at the Choiunard Art Institute. Before graduating, Sheets undertook a teaching position at the Institute while completing his education. This was the first of his teaching positions as he would go on to teach as Director of the Otis Art Institute, as head of the art department of Scripps College, and other various educational institutions. Sheets was quickly recognized by influential Dalzell Hatfield Galleries who sponsored his first one-man exhibition in 1929. After winning the Edgar B. Davis art competition, Sheets studied under Dorfinant in Paris where he met Henri Matisse. In 1932, Sheets furthered his education at Scripps College and, again, would be asked to take a teaching position upon graduation. Having exhibited his works throughout the United States including the Carnegie Institute's International Exhibition of Paintings, Sheets was a nationally recognized artist by the 1930s. During the Depression, Sheets worked with the Public Works of Art Project. This introduced Sheets to mural work as wells as architecture, which he would return to later in his life. Additionally, Sheets served as the Director of the art exhibition at the Los Angeles County Fair for 25 years. All of these achievements allowed him to travel and paint in Europe, Hawaii, and Central America. During World War II, Sheets was as a correspondent for Life Magazine in India and Burhma, making famine, death, and war the subject of many of his paintings. This experience would color Sheets' work for over a decade with dark tones and depressing, almost despondent subject matter whereas before his palette was neutral with brilliant shades punctuating his compositions. When Sheets returned to the United States, he became president of the California Water Color Society. However, Sheets began to expand his medium past watercolors to oils, illustration, murals, mosaics, tapestries, prints, and architecture. In 1953, Sheets started the Millard Sheets Designs Company, which created mosaics, art, and buildings for Home Savings of America banks throughout California, the Detroit Public Library, the Mayo Clinic, and the National Shrine in Washington DC as well as many others. Millard Sheets' work in watercolors and with the California Scene Painters would give rise to the California Regionalist School. At the forefront of this movement, Sheets inspired, introduced, and taught many of the notable California artists who would follow him including Lee Blair, Hardie Gramatky, and Paul Sample. Millard Sheets' painting style varies greatly, but his personal touch is easily recognizable. Sheets' colorful, curvilinear technique allowed this flowing medium to be concise and eye catching. The result is bold and can vary from shocking realism to simplified abstraction which echoes the art deco movement and, perhaps, folk art. Whether strict lines or curved movement, the clear geometric aspects in Sheets' work reveal his interest in architecture, and yet, there is often a gritty, earthly nature to his paintings seen in his color palette and subject matter. Whether on paper, on walls, in buildings, or in education, Millard Owen Sheets' work left a strong tradition stretching past the confines of an artist and into public service.

Chemists tout electronic skin, self-healing plastics
A few dozen chemists got together in New York City 137 years ago to create a professional society they hoped would become an important voice for one of the oldest branches of science.
It did, and then some.
The American Chemical Society evolved into the largest scientific society in the world, which will be obvious to anyone who ventures near the San Diego Convention Center this week. More than 18,000 people are expected to attend what could turn out to be the biggest conference in ACS history.
At least seven Nobel Prize winners — including San Diego's Roger Tsien and Barry Sharpless — have written or co-authored some of the thousands of papers and presentations that will be delivered or made through Wednesday.
Expect headlines. Scientists will report on a new blood test for breast cancer, a new type of plastic that "heals" like human skin when it is scratched, and fresh evidence that popcorn contains more antioxidants than fruit or vegetables.
There also will be a special session exploring the role chemists played in advising firefighters how to safely burn down the "bomb house," a residence in Escondido that was found to contain bomb-making materials in 2010.
And ACS will have a "Willy Wonka" moment on Wednesday when the conference celebrates the known and suspected health benefits of cocoa and chocolate.
Bassam Z. Shakhashiri, the president of ACS, said San Diego was chosen for the conference because, "This area is an international hub for science and technology, with its hundreds of biotechnology companies, thousands of scientists and world-class colleges and universities."
Daniel Raftery of Purdue University will report on a new blood test that might be twice as sensitive as existing tests in detecting the recurrence of breast cancer. Raftery says in a conference summary that the nine biomarkers in the test also spot the recurrence of cancer "about 11-12 months sooner than existing tests. They accomplish this with blood samples, rather than biopsies, with less discomfort to patients."
John Rogers of the University of Illinois will give an update on the development of "electronic skin," tattoo-like sensors that wirelessly diagnose and treat health problems. "The technology can be used to monitor brain, heart or muscle activity in a completely noninvasive way, while a patient is at home," Rogers says in a conference note. The "skin" is roughly as thick as a human hair, and it is flexible, allowing it to be used on many parts of the body. Patients who have been testing the sensors reportedly don't feel them on their real skin.
Scientists will discuss nanocellulose aerogel, a new type of material that ACS says is so buoyant that "in every day terms, a boat made from one pound of the substance could carry five kitchen refrigerators, (or) about 1,000 pounds. ... Aerogels can be made from a variety of materials, even the silica in beach sand, and some are only a few times denser than air itself. By one estimate, if Michelangelo's famous statue David were made out of an aerogel rather than marble, it would be less than five pounds."

Rated 1 out of 5 by ag1957 it has a good features not happy at all from this new product, it has damaged my hear, I prefer to not use I would like if I could replace it with ghd IV, I was happy from my previous one ghd IV styler. 30 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by janeo very good Great product, loving it! This is my second one and it is much nicer to use 29 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lauren90 My favourite model yet! This is my sixth GHD styler product and by far my favourite. I love the sleek design, the light weight feel and the touch features. After being a loyal GHD customer for the last nine years and continually working through the new designs (complete hair tool junkie) this is my favourite to date. The barrel is perfect for loose curls and styles my thick hair in no time. 29 August 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by terry94 great product i had the regular straighteners for 5 years and loved them so i decided to replace them and brought the eclipse in white. firstly it is a beauty just to look at and it straightens my hair very quickly leaving it looking healthy and shiny. it heats up super quick. i have fine hair and the temperature is great for my hair. i used to use my previous styler to curl my hair too and the only this is that it takes slightly longer to curl the hair however the results are great. i highly recommend this styler, however about from the features it is quite similar to the regular styler. 29 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TrishD Wonderful Product! Awesome iron * Hair is smooth and shiny * no crispy ends * Perfect every time. I have had three Chi irons and had problems with not smoothing enough, so I had to pass over hair several times, hence the crispy ends. No so with the GHD iron, one pass gets it just as you want and I tried a curly look simply by twirling and curls stayed all day and even pretty overnight. Wonderful features are musical tune lets you know it is ready, and tune when turned off. Heats up really FAST! 29 August 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Amy2280 Good simple straighteners these they are easy to use , could be a bit shorter 29 August 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by claire72 great product I have always used GHDs and I recently got the eclipse in white and they are my favourite by far (although I have said that with all of them) they heat up so quickly and just glide through my hair so I dont have to keep going over it. They seem so much easier to use. Love them 29 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lizzyheather56 I love this ghd it works perfect! I have never found a straighter that could straighten my mothers hair for long until I brought this it works wonders! 28 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lowriemid This product is fantastic I bought this product as a birthday present for my mother and she absolutely loves them. They perform excellently and are definitely worth the money. I would most definitely recommend these to anyone looking for new straighterners. 28 August 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by Nadine03 Silky smooth hair Since using my eclipse GHD my hair texture has improved and become silkier and smoother. I love my GHD as my style stays longer and I dont have to GHD my hair as often as I used to. I love eclipse!! 28 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by C12jac Money well spent! I was in two minds whether to get these GHD tongs for about a year, as I had some cheap ones. I thought these couldn't be worth all the extra expense, but could always tell the difference after I had been to the hairdressers and my hair shone all day and the following day. I decided I would spend a weeks wages on them and how pleased I did. I haven't looked back since and my hair always looks brilliant with only a few minutes of use a day. So quick to be ready and there isn't anything I do not like about them. As far as I am concerned, they are the best investment of the year. 27 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by fking25 Best straightener i ever used WOW!!! It usually took me about 2h to do my hair. Now i do it in 10min with the ghd eclipse. I love it and wont replace it for any other straightener. Oh and the customer service was great!!! 27 August 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jptay3 The best GHD yet Fantastic product! Quick to heat up, smooth over my hair and curls or straightens effortlessly. Sleek appearance and great features. 26 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LeChicB ghd eclipse is truly the Rolls Royce of all Straighteners This is my very first ghd straightener, and what creme de la creme to start with! I have used all kinds of stylers on my relaxed afro hair, and extensions alike whenever I go on holiday, but nothing comes close to the Eclipse. It required very minimal effort and in very little time to create a flawless poker straight hair, that feels and looks silky, and professionally done (it almost doesn't look real)! I have no idea how I had lived without one for this long... For the first time, I am cheating on my hairdresser, and feeling all smug and confident about it. What can I say... I am well and truly hooked! This is the beginning of a very long love affair with my great and luxurious looking ghd! 26 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by kt215 Best hair straighteners iv had. Hair stays straight for longer, faster to style your hair with these ghds. Would recommend to everyone. 26 August 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by AmyC The small added features make such a difference Love my GHD eclipse! Everything about them! Best straighteners! 25 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pammi A class above all others I had a GHD some years ago, then went to a cloud nine straightener. Bought the eclipse and WOW. Straightens to perfection, no frizzy ends. Stays straight all day. So quick to straighten. Well worth the extra expense compared to the normal GHD. LOVE IT!!! 25 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Yetty Best GHD ever! Brilliant product which controls my awful, thick, frizzy hair. Thank you so much! 25 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SarahNik AMAZING I've always been a frizz ball. My hair is naturally wavy, so it's not too difficult to straighten, but once I step outside in the humid TN weather my hair goes back to wavy with added frizz for good measure. Fed up I did something I said I'd never do...I spent a small fortune on a hair straightener, skeptically, I might add...BEST PURCHASE EVER! It glides through my hair, leaves it voluminous, and it stays straight! There's still a little frizz, but it is drastically improved! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! 25 August 2014

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Greg GelpiOnly minutes into the first meeting of a new school board and already the board was steeped in controversy. Tearful, irate and pleading, parents addressed the Clayton County Board of Education, asking the board to review the decisions of Superintendent Barbara Pulliam in rearranging personnel in the school system's special education department. "Don't assume that because the population of special needs students in Clayton County is small that we're not strong," Linda Cowen, a special needs parent and State Court judge, said with tears in her eyes. Departmental coordinating and support staff received a letter just before the winter break informing them of their reassignments as classroom teachers, Clayton County Education Association President Sid Chapman said. The reassignments filled positions previously held by long-term substitute teachers, but left many parents questioning the quality of their children's education. Pulliam defended the action, calling attention to a state Department of Education review faulting the school system for not having enough certified teachers in special education. By moving the personnel, the system was able to fill 19 special education vacancies with certified personnel. The move also helped the system meet standards set forth by the No Child Left Behind Act. In addressing the needs of many, the school system shouldn't forget the needs of smaller segments of the school population, Betty Nelson, a special needs parent, said. "Who will speak for our students who cannot speak for themselves?" Nelson asked the board Monday night. "We know that planning without action is futile. However, we know that action without planning is fatal." A dozen teachers and parents recounted stories of children with special needs and urged the school board to look into the matter. The system went to such extreme measures as attempting to recruit special education teachers in the Philippines in the spring, but later withdrew those efforts. The efforts were attempts to address the state's citation of the special education department. The controversy came only moments after the new school board selected its new leadership. The board unanimously selected Ericka Davis as its new chairwoman. Davis follows Nedra Ware, who was defeated in her bid for re-election. Newly elected board member Eddie White was chosen as the vice chairman, but not before board member LaToya Walker read a lengthy prepared speech, opposing White and all new members from holding leadership positions. She also voiced opposition to Allen T. Johnson, saying that he focuses too much on the past. Walker's speech cautioned the board against selecting a new member to be vice chairman and playing the "game of politics," a view supported by Connie Kitchens. Despite her words against it, White, Wendell "Rod" Johnson, David Ashe, Allen T. Johnson, Yolanda Everett and Davis voted for White. Kitchens and Walker voted for Walker, and Lois Baines Hunter voted for Allen T. Johnson.
