Soul-sucking 'dementor' wasps and 8 other crazy new species
Soul-Sucking Dementor Wasp
Latin name: Ampulex dementor
Topics: Books, Entertainment News
It's frustrating to love comics, because there's so much cultural baggage that goes along with loving them. The blessing and curse of comics as a medium is that there is such a thing as "comics culture." The core audience of comics is really into them: we know that Wednesdays are the day when new issues appear in the stores, we populate endless Web sites and message boards, we preserve our comics with some degree of care even if we think of ourselves as "readers" rather than "collectors." A few times a year, we congregate at conventions of one kind or another. (The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art Festival — which is happening this weekend in New York City — is one of our Sundances, where small-press and independent publishers display their wares; Wizard World Chicago is where the superhero buffs go; Comic-Con International, held in San Diego at the end of July, is where everybody goes.) We gravitate to our kind.
That's part of the problem. Over the last half century, comics culture has developed as an insular, self-feeding, self-loathing, self-defeating fly-trap. A lot of the people who hit their local comics store every Wednesday think of comics readers as some kind of secret, embattled fellowship. (That's why most comics stores are deeply unfriendly places: everything about them says, "You mean you don't know?" In some of them, even new pamphlets and books are sealed in plastic before they go out on the shelves; if you don't walk into the store knowing what you want, you're not going to find out.) It's a poisonous mind-set for any number of reasons, the biggest one being that to enjoy a comic book, you either have to be a Comics Person or be able to explain why you're not really a Comics Person.
That incestuous relationship between audience and medium has been encouraged by the big comics publishers. Mainstream comics pamphlets that are incomprehensible to anyone not already immersed in their culture aren't just the standard now; they're the point. If you pick up a story crammed full of inside references, and you're enough of an insider to catch them all, you're going to feel like it was made just for you, and it will intensify the sense of difference between you and "normal people." (I know from experience; some of the comics I enjoy most are stories I can't explain to a lot of my friends without using phrases like "pre-Crisis continuity" and "the 616 universe," sounding severely schizophrenic, or both.)
Then there's the name-and-class problem — not just the way the wretched term "graphic novel" has come to be a euphemism for "comics," but the reasons it caught on. The origins of "graphic novel" are slightly murky — it seems to have been first used in the '60s as a name for a potential "higher" form of comics, and it was popularized by Will Eisner's 1978 book "A Contract with God and Other Tenement Stories." (As its title suggests, Eisner's volume is not so much a novel as a collection of four not-all-that-long stories linked by their setting.)
But the "novel" part of "graphic novel" blots out the idea of short fiction and nonfiction — it's odd to call, say, books of reportage in cartoon form by Joe Sacco and Ted Rall "novels," or to suggest that memoirs by Alison Bechdel and Harvey Pekar are fictional, or that a collection of short pieces by Ellen Forney or C. Tyler is actually an extended, unified story. Given how long it takes to draw comics, the idea that the "novel" is the default form for the ones with high aspirations is also pernicious, because it suggests that shorter stories can't be serious. (Working on short fiction or poetry carries about the same prestige as working on a novel, but if you're drawing comics, that's not the same thing as working on a graphic novel — which is why too many young cartoonists start in on novel-length pieces before they've developed storytelling skills.) "Graphic narrative" sounds like a euphemism twice removed from its source, and still has the unfortunate resonance of "graphic" with the way it tends to be paired with "sexuality" or "violence." And "sequential art" sounds utterly arid.
The class implications of "graphic novel" almost instantly led to the term's thorough debasement. As a ten-dollar phrase, it implies that the graphic novel is serious in a way that the lowly comic book isn't. That, of course, leaves it open to being co-opted by anybody who wants to dress up their inept little drawings in a jacket and tie, which is why shitty forty-eight-page superhero stories started to be sold as "graphic novels" within a few years of the appearance of "A Contract with God" — 1983′s "Super Boxers" could have killed off the prestige of any term attached to the form.
Even so, to this day, people talk about "graphic novels" instead of comics when they're trying to be deferential or trying to imply that they're being serious. There's always a bit of a wince and stammer about the term; it plays into comics culture's slightly miserable striving for "acknowledgment" and "respect." It's hard to imagine what kind of cultural capital the American comics industry (and its readership) is convinced that it's due and doesn't already have. Perhaps the comics world has spent so long hating itself that it can't imagine it's not still an underdog. But demanding (or wishing for) a place at the table of high culture is an admission that you don't have one; the way you get a place at the table of high culture is to pull up a chair and say something interesting.
So what do people who are committed to feeling like embattled outsiders do? Fetishize the object that symbolizes their difference from everybody else, naturally. The first wave of comics collectors were trying to preserve the past of their culture — to rescue the ephemeral pamphlets that made up comics' fragile history from the quick and sure destruction they were intended for. They wanted to hold on to the pleasure their favorite comics gave them, and perhaps to understand how years' worth of stories about particular characters might fit together into a grander narrative than even those stories' creators imagined. There's something honorable about that.
The preservation impulse turned into a collector's impulse — what was once called "the nostalgia market." Uncommon issues, naturally, were worth a bit more, then a lot more, then became the object of speculation. Publishers started to play on the idea of collectibility (in 1965, Marvel launched a series reprinting comics that had been published less than four years earlier, "Marvel Collectors' Item Classics"). And people started to hoard new comics with an eye to their future financial value, not the future pleasure to be had from owning them.
There was once a kind of nerdy charm to the collectors who sought out old comics in "pristine mint" condition — cover still glossy, no dings or dents on the spine — and valued them according to their historical importance as well as their condition. First appearances of favorite characters were in high demand, and so were issues with well-loved artists, and a few more specialized kinks. "The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide," updated annually, singled out horror comics involving the "injury-to-eye motif," for instance.
Sometime in the '80s, though, there started to be collectors who cared only about the investment potential of their comics and didn't have any particular interest in reading them. I worked in a comic book store in the mid-'80s, and I loathed the customers who came up to the counter with their own plastic bags and acid-free cardboard backing boards to begin the process of preserving their investments right away. It was easy to spot the kids who would become those collectors, too: they'd look quizzically at the first issue of some new series, and ask, "What's this going to be worth?" (I always told them that if I knew what things were going to be worth, I probably wouldn't be working behind a counter.)
No one ever really made their fortune as a comics investor, but the legions of clueless speculators brought on a few boom-and-bust cycles in the industry. The comics speculation game got a slightly disgusting twist in 2001, with the launch of Comic Guaranty LLC and "slabbing." CGC, as it's better known, grades collectible comics for condition on a ten-point scale, then seals them between hard plastic slabs, so that they can never risk being damaged — or read-again: perfect financial fetish objects, entirely severed from their original aesthetic purpose.
That's the sort of protective response that's arguably appropriate for a singular object whose meaning as art can be experienced through clear plastic — something with what Walter Benjamin called "aura." There's something almost parodically wrong about seeing a piece of mass-produced entertainment framed like an irreproducible original. Naturally, the art-comics world mostly thinks of CGC and comics investment as beneath contempt — one piece of industry slang is "FYOV," the "forty-year-old virgins" who fuel the collector market. (It was around long before the movie.)
At the same time, even within art comics, there's a longing for the medium to get more of something that's usually called "legitimacy." There's an element of comics culture, sometimes called (a little derisively) "Team Comics," that gets excited whenever anything that looks like that acknowledgment or respect I mentioned above turns up in the outside world — a college class on the graphic novel, a Hollywood movie based on a graphic novel, a newspaper or magazine article about a cartoonist, somebody reading a comic book on a TV show. Different segments of Team Comics take notice if a TV character is reading a new issue of "Aquaman" or Lynda Barry's "One!Hundred!Demons!," but the principle is the same.
Both the "Team Comics" culture vultures and the alternate-cover-hoarding mavens are driven by the desire to turn their hobby into some kind of success or validation, whether through affluence or cultural power, and that impulse is directly connected to the class aspirations that afflict the entire medium. A lot of comics readers are unhealthily attached to the idea that everyone else thinks what they do is kind of trashy and disreputable, and that they have to prove their favorite leisure activity worthy of respect — to show the world that they were right all along.
It's probably time to let go of that strain of earnest defensiveness. The snobbery of the rest of American culture toward comics is, if not entirely gone, dissipating quickly. In late 2006, Gene Luen Yang's graphic novel "American Born Chinese" was nominated for a National Book Award (in the Young People's Literature category); when one commentator — Tony Long, a blogger at Wired News — opined that it shouldn't have been nominated because it wasn't prose, the comics world jumped down his throat. But it's not as if literary culture revolted as one: Long appears to have been the only voice of dissent, and as clueless as part of his argument was (he noted that, well, he hadn't actually read "American Born Chinese"), his point that Yang's book was the wrong medium for its award was at least debatable.
What's actually happening in culture at large is more like everyone trying to jump on the comics bandwagon — as a 2004 New Yorker cartoon's caption put it, "Now I have to pretend to like graphic novels, too?" The medium's new enemies are internal: the much less casual snobbery of the commercial mainstream and the art-comics world toward each other, and cartoonists' nostalgic yearning for the badness of the bad old days. Reading only auteurist art comics is like being a filmgoer who watches only auteurist art cinema, but more than a few art-comics enthusiasts wouldn't dream of picking up a mainstream comic book, even as entertainment. Likewise, plenty of superhero buffs can't imagine being interested in some actionless black-and-white independent comic.
The most frustrating effect of the art/pop divide in comics, though, is nostalgie de la boue. A lot of the best cartoonists of the moment have picked up their visual vocabulary from the crap and hackwork of the past, and they're fondly and unhealthily attached to it in a sentimental, self-loathing way, as a curdled by-product of the attachment they felt to it as children. You can find this fascination with the feeble, uninspired comics of the artists' youth in Chris Ware's "Rusty Brown," in Dan Clowes's "Ice Haven" and "Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron," in Ivan Brunetti's "Misery Loves Comedy," and in a lot of other art comics, and it's an utter drag. Robert Crumb is a particular offender: most of his early work riffed on the toothless pop culture of his youth, and his drawing and sense of humor still haven't entirely let go of fifty-year-old issues of "MAD."
In mainstream comics, nostalgie de la boue manifests itself as stories whose main point is to trigger nostalgic responses in their older readers — forgotten Golden Age characters being trotted out again and integrated into the tapestry of continuity; "retcons," or "retroactive continuity," meant to explain apparent contradictions in old comics or draw connections where there hadn't been any intended in the first place. The inbred children of that approach are stories nostalgic for old retcons, attempts to recapture the past of attempting to recapture the past, even if it wasn't that good the first time and was even worse the second.
Nostalgia, especially nostalgia for childhood, is a heavy burden for a medium to bear, and comics have been carrying it since the culture around them began to coalesce. The comics collecting market was called the "nostalgia market" at first; The Comics Journal was renamed from The Nostalgia Journal. The earliest books of essays about comic books were collections like "All in Color for a Dime" — reminiscences of early childhood experiences with funnybooks. As far as thinking about what makes comics interesting, though, nostalgia is poison — not just because it makes people overvalue the stories that fueled their childhood fantasies but because it makes them misunderstand the reasons why the good stuff or even the resonant crap affected them so strongly, and what exactly might have been messed up about it, or the way it made them feel the first time around.

I have learned new things through your blog post. Also a thing to I have noticed is that in many instances, FSBO sellers are going to reject anyone. Remember, they might prefer to not ever use your companies. But if you maintain a stable, professional connection, offering help and staying in contact for about four to five weeks, you will usually manage to win interviews. From there, a listing follows.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The Women's Professional Soccer league is folding after three seasons.
Its board of governors announced Friday it had agreed to suspend all operations permanently. The league had canceled the 2012 season in January, at the time hoping to return next year.
The league's predecessor, WUSA, also lasted only three seasons.
The 2012 season was scrapped amid a legal dispute with an ousted owner. League officials had clashed with Dan Borislow of the South Florida franchise all last season. The WPS says it's reached a confidential out-of-court settlement with Borislow, who had sued the league.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 nights
New cottage and furnishings on eight manicured acres of Live Oaks with a small bayou running through the property. This is a very quiet get away for bird watching and letting time go by making MEMORIES. .
This property has been in the family since 1875. Hurricane Katrina destroyed 14 family homes at this location. A large front porch is good for catching the evening breezes from the Gulf. The cottage has a full kitchen, with all new appliances, granite countertops, and a coffee station. The large living area includes a gas fireplace, and flat-screen TV; bedrooms are beautifully appointed, and there are ceiling fans in all the rooms. The property includes a security system for protection of its occupants and its contents.
Keywords: Bungalow, House
Property has been in the family since 1875 and this is the second structure to be built after Hurricane Katrina.
Bird watching, walking nearby beaches, riding bicycles, relaxing and reading on the generous porch; inspiring for artists and composers of music and literature. Surrounding attractions offer a variety of entertainment and dining opportunities.
We enjoyed our time at this cottage. We could easily walk to the beach each morning and the location was near great restaurants and golf courses. I loved the simplicity of the cottage furnishings.
Everything was perfect! Loved it so much we stayed an extra day!! We hope to return again in 2016!!!
Sandy & Robert, you know our heart is now pulling us to Long Beach, that accomplished by having such a wonderful place!!! You folks, neighbors and local businesses are wonderful. The cottage in Boggsdale is the 'crown jewel' giving us what we were looking forward to.... well done!
This is a beautiful and historic piece of a notable local family's property. Our family stayed in the cottage for four days over Labor Day Weekend. We have 2 boys aged 3 and 8. We live in a city so the park-like property with its wide open spaces and beautiful oak trees were the highlight of the trip for our boys. We spent hours playing football and wiffle ball then going on evening frog and toad hunts. An easy stroll down the gravel lane and you are at the beach which we had nearly entirely to ourselves the whole weekend as this stretch of beach is a good bit down from the closest public beaches. The cottage is the perfect size for a family of 4, is very clean, well appointed with everything you need and in great condition. The front porch was perfect for reading a book, enjoying the view and sounds of the acres of land around it and sipping a cup of coffee or glass of wine. The cottage is even well stocked with local books, maps and information on surrounding areas and points of interest. The owners were very accommodating and helpful as well. Historic downtown Long Beach, Pass Christian, Bay St. Louis and Gulfport are all just minutes away as well and worth exploring.
Not too much I can add that hasn't been said by other reviewers. The house is on a large, historic property where a number of homes were "removed" by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This is the first one to be rebuilt, so while at first glance it appears to be an older home, it's actually only a few years old. It's obvious that the owners care about their property, and included quality finishes and furnishings. My kids loved being able to run around on the large forested property where there's no traffic. It actually feels as if you're in the country, even though a Walmart is only 5 minutes down the road. This was exactly what this overworked and overstressed family needed!
Only a couple of minor issues, the biggest being no DVD player in the main room. Each bedroom had a small TV with a built-in DVD player, but it's difficult for more than two people to view. Other minor issue was squeaking and sticking doors, which some may find charming, but others may consider an unwanted "alarm clock". ;-) As I said, the issues were minor and far outweighed by numerous positives. We would certainly return (with DVD player in hand) if ever in the area again!
We have been using VRBO for many years and can easily say this is one of the best houses we've stayed in. The cottage is located on a very large property surrounded by big, beautiful trees. The house itself is very clean and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. We enjoyed sitting outside at night on the front porch. The location was very peaceful. Its about a 5 minute walk to the the beach. We had the beach to ourselves everyday we were there. Very nice beach. The ocean is only knee deep for hundreds of yards from the beach so not the best for swimming. There is lots to do along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, including many restaurants and shopping. The owners were very helpful and made sure we were enjoying our stay. Overall we would definitely recommend this cottage.
This cottage is 65 miles to New Orleans to the West and 65 miles to Mobile to the East; both exciting areas to explore. The local area has 11 casinos with Las Vegas quality entertainment. Charter boats are available from 4 hours to as long as 4 day rentals. Numerous golf courses within a 20-mile radius. Two major art museums: the George Ohr Museum in Biloxi, and the Walter Anderson Museum in Ocean Springs are short drives from Long Beach. Excursion boat to Ship Island, a barrier island 14 miles offshore leaves from Gulfport harbor. Excellent local casual and fine dining abounds.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 4 nights
This is the perfect home for 1-4 people; totally remodeled with a large private courtyard feturing a 8' deep pool and a 34' covered patio; the other side of the property offers a grassy open yard with access to golf course and city lights viewing at night. The large open custom kitchen has breakfast bar with seating for 6, solid granite countertops, lots of cupboard space and is fully equipped. An open living room offers a large leather sectional sofa, full wall brick fireplace, 52' flat screen TV, CD and DVD player; 'Tom's Place' also has wifi for your convenience. The master bedroom is at the back of the house; and has a sitting area for reading, sliding doors to the patio and pool area and a 32' wall mounted television; the secondary bedroom has sliding doors to the grassy side yard. Our cozy, comfortable home is 1300 square feet on a 10,000 square foot lot, a great neighborhood for walking or cycling and has easy access to the Henderson trail system. We call it 'Tom's Place' because Tom is our son and he designed the kitchen, did a lot of the remodeling and then got a job transfer to Pennsylvania before we finished the house; we will always lovingly think of it as 'Tom's Place'...and yes, he does stay in the house when he visits!
We love living in Henderson with its close proximity to Lake Mead NRA, Hoover dam, Henderson trail system offering cycling and hiking. I moved here in 1994 and have watched the city grow, while it is only a 15 minute drive to The Strip it feels like you are world's apart!
Deborah Dalley Phillips purchased this house in 2011
Originally purchased for my son Tom, who was relocated in his job to Pennsylvania
Having access to the open green of the golf course behind the house in a city of block fences makes this home a 'gem in the desert'. The Henderson walking/bike trail is within walking distance of the house. This is an older community with large shade trees and is very quiet.
We felt like this was home away from home! It met all of our needs and was perfect for our dog. It was clean and very well maintained. The neighborhood is quiet and relatively convenient to most places. The cable TV selection could be better. Deborah was wonderful to work with. Would definitely recommend this as a place for an extended stay.
We have been here almost 2 months, and have felt that this was our home away from home from the very beginning. The house, amenities, neighborhood etc. have been wonderful! Deborah and Matt were always available to answer any questions. We would highly recommend this property to anyone renting a week or two months or more. The highest compliment I can give is that we felt more comfortable here than at our vacation house in Florida that we actually owned.
We stayed for a week at 'Tom's Place'. We were on the verge of calling Deborah to extend but figured it was already booked! This truly was a home away from home. It is very clean and tastefully decorated, homey and cozy. Everything we needed was supplied. The kitchen is fully stocked , extra linens, towels for the pool and hot tub and even books!
We spent most of our time out on the patio enjoying the pool and hot tub or just relaxing. The neighborhood is very nice. We enjoyed our morning walks with our little Shih Tzu's (who also enjoyed the private enclosed patio). Although, we also enjoyed the grassy area's which over look the golf course and the Las Vegas lights at night.
It is just short drives to Lake Mead or Las Vegas night life. Just right down Boulder Hwy and you are at Fremont Street. We had dinner in Henderson at Ventano's. Excellent food and service and a great view of the Las Vegas lights!
We highly recommend staying at 'Tom's Place'. We would like to thank Deborah for sharing her home with us. We will be looking forward to returning for another relaxing vacation.
We had a nice stay at this home. The pool and patio area was perfect for relaxing. The home itself is quite cozy and homey feeling (though the bathrooms are a bit small and dated.) We were pleasantly surprised by how quiet the neighborhood was. I especially loved all the song birds and bunnies and quail that frequent the yard, very enjoyable. The location was also great for visiting the strip, shopping, dining, etc (easy/quick highway access to anywhere.) The homeowner was super easy to work with and very helpful with suggestions for activities that we might enjoy.
The down side for me was that the home was not very clean and there seemed to be some upkeep issues. There were doors that didn't want to open, vertical door blinds that didn't open/work... just deferred maintenance type issues. I'm not sure why the house was so dirty though, I've never stayed in a rental like this. There was dirt in all the corners of the bathrooms, dirt/dust on top of the shower curtain rods, dirty pans, and a toaster full of crumbs, the Keurig was so gross, I must've ran 2 gallons of water through it before it ran clean! Also, I found the bed in the master to be extremely uncomfortable and the guest room bedding was quite worn and the sheets even had a hole worn into them. Things that can be easily improved. This would be a 4 or 5 star house with some elbow grease.
We stayed in this home for 2 weeks the beginning of March. We were pleased to find the home was just like the pictures showed. The sparkling pool and hot tub were well used, as we experienced amazing weather for March. The added bonus for us, was that this home is right on a golf course.
The home has easy access to everything including highways, shopping, casinos etc. We were able to relax and enjoy lots of golf and our grandchildren who ame for the weekend made good use of both the pool and hot tub.
We highly recommend this home. It is well equipped and maintained. The owner, Deborah was very helpful in giving us information about Henderson and a nice Italian restaurant in downtown Henderson.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "Tom's Place" We found it very convenient for golfing and all the other amenities. We made good use of the hot tub which we enjoyed in the evening. I hope in the future I will have the opportunity to stay there again. I highly recommend this property.

Oceanside moving forward on traffic plan update
Sanchez and Wood said the city should wait for the new software that would be more efficient and provide more accurate models.
Kern, Feller and Chavez, who left the meeting early to attend a Boy Scout awards ceremony, said they didn't want to have to wait too long for the software and wanted to continue to move forward with the program.
With Chavez gone, the other four council members agreed to a compromise proposed by interim City Manager Peter Weiss. Upon Weiss' suggestion, the council members will make a decision in March after having the staff present more information to them about the benefits of the software and when an update would be available for Oceanside.
Amberson said that while the city waited for the new software, staffers could work with colleagues in neighboring cities to make sure their estimates for future growth and projects were as accurate as possible.
Waiting for the new software would extend the process, and the completion of the update would most likely be moved from the end of 2007 to the middle of 2008, city officials said.
The council members also decided they wanted to use demographic predictions from 2030 instead of 2020 for the traffic models, noting that the number of jobs in Oceanside is expected to increase from 55,000 in 2020 to 70,000 in 2030, according to SANDAG estimates.
Several residents urged the council to use the best programs and statistics available and urged the city to include the public in the process.
City staff members and consultants held four community meetings in the fall, and received written comments from about 150 residents, Amberson told the council. He said more meetings with the public would be held in the summer.

Looking for a friend and partner!
I moved to Boston in 2011. I already had friends living here - and I made many more - but I have yet to meet that someone. Family is important; I try to stay in touch often. Give me a night in or out and I'll make the best of it. I believe in trying to better oneself and striving for something in life. Pugs are my favorite pet ever (if it wasn't obvious). I'm an early riser most of the time, including weekends. I once got my entire office together, including HR, to play Cards Against Humanity. It's a particular highlight of my time here in Boston. You learn a lot about someone playing that game. I have no shame. I love living in Boston, it's the perfect sized city for me. I can walk everywhere but still have public transportation handy. There's always so much to do and explore (and eat and drink) with friends or solo. Since completing school I wanted to go back to work in academia IT, and in Boston I seized that opportunity. I consider this job my career. I'm looking for someone down-to-earth and rational. Career-oriented is preferrable, with a desire to stay in the Boston area. Having some common interests is a huge plus, and probably necessary. I'm neither spiritual nor religious; if either of those are an important part of your life, we won't get along. I am most definitely looking for something long-term, and someone with whom I can spend quality time with (quiet and otherwise), share thoughts and ideas with, discuss important topics such as politics, and go out from time to time for dinners, to visit friends, events, or trips.

Subbarao has appreciated the efforts to ensure fiscal discipline: Yeddyurappa
BANGALORE: Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa has claimed that prudent financial management and fiscal discipline in the State has come in for praise from Governor of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) D. Subbarao.
Speaking to presspersons after a meeting with the RBI Governor at Vidhana Soudha on Thursday, Mr. Yeddyurappa said Dr. Subbarao had not only appreciated the efforts made by his Government to ensure fiscal discipline, but also responded positively to the financial needs of the State.
When Mr. Yeddyurappa's reaction was sought on the allegations of financial mismanagement levelled by the Opposition, the Chief Minister said the Government would place before the public a "factual report" of governance when the BJP Government completed one year in office later this month.
"When the RBI Governor himself has appreciated the financial management in the State, I don't have to bother about what they (Opposition parties) have to say", he said.
Extending educational loan at an interest rate of 6 per cent by banks figured prominently in the talks with the RBI Governor. "We had an elaborate discussion on the matter. The banks may need prompting from the RBI to expand the implementation of the scheme that had been introduced by the State Government", Mr. Yeddyurappa said before he took exception to the conditions laid out by the banks for extending educational loans.
With the credit deposit ratio in the State coming down to 5 per cent in the past two years, Mr. Yeddyurappa said advances to the agricultural sector and weaker sections out of the total advances had also seen a decline of 1 to 2 per cent. He hoped the RBI would help increase the quantum of farm loan to farmers.
During the meeting, Mr. Yeddyurappa said he had brought to the notice of the RBI Governor the initiatives taken by the State Government to give a boost to the agricultural sector. The interest subsidy linked repayment had been announced by the Government to facilitate farm loans at 3 per cent interest. The Government was working with State Level Bankers Committee (SLBC) to work out the modalities.
In this backdrop, Mr. Yeddyurappa told Dr. Subbarao that the RBI could help the State by stepping up credit flow to the agricultural sector by allowing higher refinance by NABARD to State cooperative credit institutions from the current 40 per cent to 50 per cent.
Despite the RBI's efforts to moderate interest rates in the context of economic slowdown, Mr. Yeddyurappa said the interest rates for micro and small industries were still very high at 13 per cent. "It should be brought down to less than 10 per cent", he said.
He said the RBI Governor had promised to look into the State Government's concerns.

Iyo Menya "If Only I Had Known"
Starting at the end of May and through early September, Burundi will hold its first set of elections since all rebel movements laid down their arms and officially ended Burundi's long civil war. "If Only I Had Known," ("Iyo Menya") produced by New Generation and IFES, with the support of USAID and the Studio RAM recounts the firsthand stories of former youth combatants of Burundi's long civil war. Manipulated by political interests and false promises, well-known Burundian ex-combatants in the film explain the terrible acts they were led to commit as youths and how their lives were consequently devastated. Other young Burundians share inspiring stories of how strong family ties helped them resist political manipulation, stay out of the conflict and build bright futures.
The video is a powerful reminder to all Burundians of the cost of war. It offers a word of caution as it points out the danger of treacherous and misleading political promises and divisive discourse to young people. As one of the contributors points out, it is in everyone's best interest to express a common patriotic spirit and engage in peaceful elections.
Towards the goal of having a peaceful poll, IFES-Burundi has helped launch Amatora Mu Mahoro (Elections in Peace), Burundi's first‐ever nationwide election violence prevention system. The system identifies areas susceptible to electoral violence as well as successful peace initiatives around the country. It aims to support appropriate responses and promote the peaceful holding of Burundi's 2010 elections.

Once again, the Academy Awards have come and gone. And, once again, I had not seen any of the nominees for best picture. Heck, I'm not sure I've even heard of most of them before.
Per Liberty Athletic Director Scott Craig:
This Friday night's Regional semifinal game between Liberty and Northside has been moved from Brookville to Jefferson Forest. It will take place at 7 p.m.
Having endured criticism from many quarters this past season, the Liberty Minutemen turned naysayers into believers with their title run.
From a team perspective, the county's indoor track entrants were by no means the dominant forces at this year's District championship.
Bedford County will be well represented at this weekend's state tournament, as an even dozen local grapplers punched the ticket to the big show at the Salem Civic Center.
I recently read that a study showed that some former football players had brain injuries on a par with former professional boxers.

Outside of the team room of the Staunton River girls' basketball team, there is a clipping from one of the local papers. It is the preseason predictions and it shows the Eagles landing in fourth place.
What should be an exciting time of year on the high school scene has been turned into a big heap o' confusion.

Monitoring Temp's on FX5900lx
Hi Everyone
Just bios modded a FX5900 to FX5950 & feeling very pleased with myself,not really a gamer but play occassionally.
I've installed "Coolbits" & uderclocked slightly my card, now I'm running 3D-Mark 2003.I've replaced leadtek twin turbo(super noisy) cooling with a Zalman solution.
Is there anyway to monitor the temperature while I run 3dmark or any suggestions to test the card is not over-heating.
Any best drivers I currently have latest 81.94
Re: Monitoring Temp's on FX5900lx
RivaTuner has a temperature monitoring function. You can also download the rthdribl demo (Google it), which runs in a window and have open at the same time the temperature monitor in the driver control panel.
Re: Monitoring Temp's on FX5900lx
Thanks I'll give that a try
Re: Monitoring Temp's on FX5900lx
After 30 mins running RTHDRIBL,Temperatures GPU-62C,Ambient temp - 36C

Proverbs 27:9-10 (NLT)
The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense. Never abandon a friend—
either yours or your father's. When disaster strikes, you won't have to ask your brother for assistance. It's better to go to a neighbor than to a brother who lives far away.
In this world of great technology, I believe that the word "friend" has become lost in the Internet. We text our conversations rather than speaking to one another and I am just as guilty as the rest. It's fast and easy yet often we miss certain points or take things out of context because let's face it words without emotions are meaningless. I can say that I love you many different ways, but unless you can feel it in my words and really know my intentions it may be hard to interpret a typed conversation. It's not all technologies fault. When used appropriately, it is a powerful tool that keeps me in touch with my family and friends when we are apart. It allows me to work 200 miles from home. I can plan a wedding, shop for school clothes, and pay the bills never stepping foot in a store, business or even my own house which has proven very useful these last couple of years as I did the majority of my Christmas shopping online while my son was receiving chemotherapy from November to December. As I have been with him while undergoing a bone marrow transplant, again I find myself far from home. I wouldn't be anywhere else but of course, I am homesick. I miss my husband and children even our little dog. I miss my job and friends at work. I haven't been to church in almost two months. Out of touch does not seem to fit the isolation that I sometime feel. My brother and sister-in-law live in this town so they fill the gap of homesickness. I have made wonderful friends here among the medical staff. I have also come in contact with some friends who I have not heard from in a while. The thing about this journey that we are on is that it is long term. So people cannot hang this close to life and death afraid that it might touch their life in some horrible way. Others feel their heartbreaking so avoid us and I understand. But then there are those men and women of God who are not just my friends but something more. The ones who are compelled to reach out with words of encouragement when we haven't talked in months. To go beyond the "I'm praying for you" to roll-up their sleeves and get involved with a meal, play date for my daughter and other countless blessings along the way. In the last couple of days, two of my longtime friends have sent me the most awesome encouragement that each time I read find that I cannot respond through the tears. I promise you two I will get back to you. This journey that we are on has stirred up and revived old friendships, strengthened existing bonds, and even brought new people into our life. This is just another way that God trades beauty for our ashes and joy for our pain.
The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense. Perfume is a blessing. In the Old Testament, it came at a very high price making it valuable. Incense was used in worship. The priests used it in preparation for the Presence of the Lord. I believe that God has given us friendship to do just that bless us and worship Him. We have lost touch with each other. Strangers attend church each week never even getting the other guy's name although they sit by us week after week. I am just as guilty as you probably are. We do not get to know people and have extended three feet of personal space to the firewall on our computer. We may have 575 Facebook friends, 400 followers on Twitter and 27 likes on Instagram but at the end of the day we have no interaction with other people so we are missing out on many blessings and a way of worshipping our Father in His Love.
I John 4:7-11 (NLT)
Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.
Human beings have a really bad habit of only coming together when tragedy strikes. I have seen it happen in our life. I have seen it in the life of others. Friendship is an act of love. Love comes from God. We love Him because He first loved us. As Children of God, our one and only mandate is that we love other people. Real love is not what we have made it. It is being the Hand, Feet, and Heart of Jesus Christ to everyone who we come in contact with in this world. I never knew how much a meal delivered to someone's home might be until so many have done it for us over the last few years. I could not comprehend how precious that word of encouragement from the mouth of a person sent from the Heart of God. God uses people to get His Message across. He wants to use you. He wants to use me. We must be willing to be dear friends to do it. You may never know the impact made on another person's life by your kindness or generosity in their time of need, but God does and He credits it to us with blessings far greater than what we withheld would have given us. Paul throughout all his letters called the recipients "dear friends" no matter what his message was. Are we doing the same with our life? Are we living as dear friends? According to this passage in I John, we are obligated to real love if we have accepted the Love of Christ.
Romans 13:8-9 (NLT)
Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God's law. For the commandments say, "You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet." These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
We are obligated to love each other in friendship and brotherhood. If you peruse the Ten Commandments it really is all about treating others as you would like to be treated. However, like the Ten Commandments, the Bible and Jesus Christ, the Golden Rule no longer applies either. Our country has adopted a sense of entitlement. We feel that the world owes us something when in reality it cannot even stop its own mass destruction. We want what belongs to us and will go through whoever stands in the way. Forget dog-eat-dog, it's a man-eat-man society. Marriages statistically are doomed for divorce. Until we stop going into every relationship looking for what we will get out of it, and decide to invest all we have to make them work then we will never meet our godly obligation to love one another. This is how we prove to God, the world and ourselves that we are His Children. We love others the way that we want to be loved. A friend is always loyal. (Proverbs 17:17) That means when someone does not meet your expectations than you choose to love them and be loyal to them anyway.
John 3:16 (NLT)
For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
I John 3:16 (NLT)
We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.
Dear Friends, we all want the benefits of John 3:16. There is nothing like the Love of God and His Faithfulness for our life. He pours out unfailing and lavish amounts and those who remain in position of righteousness will experience every precious drop. How do we remain righteous? Our only obligation is to love others as Christ loves us. He gave His Life. He laid it down for other people – we need to be inconvenienced, interrupted and engaged in friendship to do His Will, please the Lord and be blessed. We must learn to live as dear friends even if that means being a giver instead of a taker. Real love is what God is after. Real love requires hand time, face time, and heart time with each other in a real and tangible way off the Internet and hanging up the phone. Three times I have received messages from three godly ladies this week that have touched my heart, renewed my strength, revived my spirit and reminded me of God's Great Love. He touched me through them otherwise I would still be weak and struggling. God wants to bless you today through friendship. Are you willing to be that dear friend?
Luke 16:9 (NLT)
Here's the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your earthly possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home.
I came across the Parable of the Shrewd Manager. (Luke 16:1-8) I do not recall ever seeing this before or it was so long ago, I had forgotten. Anyway, the man's boss had found out that he had not be honorable in his dealings and was preparing to fire the man. The business owner decided to oversee the man's dealings. Each person who came in to pay his debt, the shrewd manager cut his bill in half. Time and time again with each client. Though the boss was not enthused by the man's cutting of his profits, he was impressed with the man's dealings. The unethical employee knew that his days on his job were numbered so he treated other with the kindness that he would soon need. Please understand what you think you have to lose in friendship is nothing compared to the welcome you will receive when you enter Heaven as not only a Child of God but His Friend, too. I have always told my children to never burn their bridges. Leave a door open when you leave in case you must return one day. My father gave me that advice and I have used it many times in my life. We must approach every person we come in contact with in this life as a dear friend to fulfill our obligation to the Lord. But more than that, there will be a blessing in our worship.
Psalm 133:1-3 (NLT)
How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony! For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil that was poured over Aaron's head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe. Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion. And there the LORD has pronounced his blessing, even life everlasting.
I am not advocating shutting off all your social media just trying to have as much "face-time" as you do Facebook, talking instead of tweeting, and making memories in person not images on Instagram. Jesus Christ has given us a brand new life with only one string attached – love. How hard is that? Not very, we give our love to many things in this world unworthily if we decided to take half of it back we would be closer to Christ and others than ever before. We must make better choices in our friendships. Sadly, I have been in more broken churches than successfully ministries. Could it be that we have forgotten how friendship works? Perhaps the Body of Christ would thrive and grow if our people learned to love each other despite imperfection, brokenness, and the past. We don't all have to worship God the same way in the same building as long as we agree there is one true God. His Son, Jesus Christ died and rose again to save us, heal us and deliver us. He is the ONLY WAY to get to Heaven. The Holy Spirit has been given to us with the true Word of God to empower us and sustain us from here to forever. Our faith has set us free to become friends of God through the Righteousness given to us as a gift. In that right standing, we can now please God His Way by loving each other no matter who our pastor is or the where we go to "church". I want those friends. I have those friends. I need to be that friend. Dear Friends, I must fulfill my obligation to love and thank you to those who have for me.
I John 2:7-8 (NLT)
Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment—to love one another—is the same message you heard before. Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining.
