'Lower-income' apartments at Rocketts Landing?
Resolution would permit use of bonds for construction, but required terminology gives county officials some pause
A new mixed-use apartment building could begin to take shape soon at Rocketts Landing, but it may not come without some controversy.
The county's Board of Supervisors Jan. 22 will consider approval of a resolution that would allow the community's developer, WVS, to obtain construction funding for the 156-unit building through the sale of Virginia Housing Development Authority bonds.
Those bonds are designed in part to enhance the availability of lower-income housing in areas where such units do not current exist and where they likely would not otherwise be built by private developers.
The proposed five-story building would offer studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments for rent at prices ranging from $788 a month to $1,339 a month, as well as 11,000 square feet of commercial space, according to Henrico Community Revitalization Director Mark Strickler.
The building, expected to cost $18 million, would become the first at Rocketts Landing to feature rental units. The board's approval next month of a resolution designating the site of the structure, at Route 5 and Stancraft Way, as a revitalization area would clear the way for the use of VHDA bonds.
But during a Dec. 11 work session, County Manager Virgil Hazelett told the board that although he supported the resolution, he did have some hesitation about it. That's because the document must indicate that "private enterprise and investment are not reasonably expected, without assistance, to produce the construction or rehabilitation of decent, safe and sanitary housing and supporting facilities that will meet the needs of low and moderate income persons and families in the [a]rea." It also must assert that sufficient housing needed to support other development in the area does not currently exist.
Both could be challenging claims, Hazelett conceded, given that Rocketts Landing already is home to hundreds of people and a number of commercial and retail businesses and that the anticipated apartment rental costs may be too high to qualify as "low-income" housing.
The latter point could be particularly murky because of the way the VHDA defines income levels. Its guidelines for the bonds require that at least 20 percent of the units be rented to households that make less than 80 percent of the region's annual median income (AMI) – in this case, less than $60,500. Another 20 percent of the units must be designated for households that make between 90 and 120 percent of the AMI (less than $90,750). But the guidelines do not consider how many members a household includes, Strickler said.
So, although the bonds are designed to help provide housing to low-income households, "that may not always be true" in this case, Hazelett said. The implication: a single person making less than $60,500 per year, for example, would qualify as "low-income," as would a married couple making a total of $85,000 annually.
On the other end of the spectrum, board members wondered aloud how the implication of "low-income" housing at Rocketts Landing might be received by residents who already live in the community – many of whom paid a premium for luxurious condos and most of whom likely know nothing of the developer's proposal.
That's a concern that weighed heavy on the mind of Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson initially, though he said that upon consideration, he believes it can be allayed.
"If it's explained properly, I don't see a big public outcry from the people who are already there," Nelson said. "I feel comfortable enough that I can support [the proposal]. I want to see the project move forward."
Passage of such a resolution would set a precedent for the board, which has never before approved one similar, Strickler said. That likely would encourage other developers seeking to build similar projects to ask the board for additional resolutions in the future, Hazelett said.
The Board of Supervisors approved a provisional use permit for the site of the proposed apartment building July 24, authorizing "an increase in building height limitations for residential townhomes, office and commercial buildings, and an increase in density for multifamily dwellings and residential townhomes," according to a planning report.
As part of that case, WVS presented a master plan for a larger portion of land at Rocketts Landing, which in addition to the apartment building also would include a 150-unit condominium building along the river; a 15,000-square-foot commercial building adjacent to the condos; and three nearby commercial buildings, totaling 105,000 square feet of space.
Incoming County Manager John Vithoulkas, who will take over for Hazelett next month, said that the impact of Rocketts Landing has been significant.
"It's been a very good project for Henrico County," Vithoulkas said.
Said Nelson of the proposal: "It will continue, I think, to move forward a project that is both beneficial to Henrico County and Varina."

Mesa / Gallium3D Branch Happenings
new posts
Are you implying that everything is already implemented what is needed to have a running OS atop Gallium3D? Obviously, with only the r300g driver and with keeping in mind that these things are experimental(=buggy).
I'm about to sacrifice a machine to verify that premise. While I wouldn't expect it to work robustly at this time, a non-production machine test to feed them info on bugs, etc. would be useful for everyone in the community if it's at that stage now.
Well, it's a good idea. Basically, this is why I asked.
Since as far as I know, there are no Ubuntu test packages to try, nor for any other distro, I assumed that it is in "an absolutely-not-working, only-developers-can-play-with" state. But bridgman's reply suggests otherwise, which would be awesome!
OK, one can get the bits from various git sources, but I'm too lazy at the moment...
Just to be clear, I wasn't implying anything about the stack "just working"-- the r300g driver is progressing nicely but AFAIK all of the testing so far has been with the 3D state tracker. A "finished" Gallium3D driver should work equally well with all of the state trackers but an "under development" driver has every chance of working with one state tracker and blowing up with a different state tracker, since the state trackers are likely to use the interface in ways which have not yet been tested and beaten into a working state.
I assumed that it is in "an absolutely-not-working, only-developers-can-play-with" state. .
But bridgman's reply suggests otherwise, which would be awesome!.Last edited by bridgman; 12-10-2009, 11:50 AM.
Originally posted by bridgman View Post...I still don't see where that suggestion was hiding in my post
"proven history of it actually working"
was something that gave me the impression. It sounds as if developers would think it's OK, but distro-makers don't believe so. :P
Thanks for the clarification, now I think I have a better understanding of the current state. Please keep us posted!
In the meantime I can't wait the power-management to arrive into the next kernel!
Originally posted by bridgman View PostI think the main use of the softpipe driver is as a "reference" platform so that (a) upper level functionality can be built and tested without having to wait for hardware drivers, and (b) if there is a question about the behaviour of a specific hw driver it can be compared to the softpipe reference rather than having to find different hardware for A/B testing.
From a user point of view, however, unless there is a good hw driver for your card then you shouldn't be planning to use Gallium3D, although the llvmpipe driver might be turn out to be interesting if you have a big honkin' CPU and weak graphics.

The C# team posts answers to common questions and describes new language features
In this post, which is the third one in my parallel programming introduction series, I want to show how you can cancel parallel operations when working with the Task Parallel Library (TPL). I'm going to modify the program that I started in the previous posts. By the way, here's the full list of posts in this series:
At the end of the last post, I had a small parallel application with responsive UI that could be easily used in both WPF and Windows Forms UI programming models. I'm going to stick with the WPF version and add a Cancel button to the application.
This is the code I'm going to work with:
Now let's refer to the Task Cancellation topic on MSDN. It tells me that to cancel a task I need to pass a special cancellation token to the task factory. By the way, the cancellation model is one of the new features in .NET Framework 4, so if you haven't heard about it yet, take a look at Cancellation on MSDN and the .NET 4 Cancellation Framework post from Mike Liddell.
I have several tasks created in a loop. I'm going to use just one cancellation token so I can cancel them all at once.
I'll add the following field to the MainWindow class:
The tasks I want to cancel are the ones that compute the results (and I don't want to cancel the tasks that display the results). So here's the next change. The code
Finally, I'll add code to the event handler for the Cancel button. I'll simply call the Cancel method for the cancellation token and all tasks created with this token are notified about the cancellation. I also want to print "Cancel" into the text block.
Let's press F5 to compile and run the code. Now I can click Start, then click Cancel, and get an exception. (Aren't you getting used to it?) AggregateException is the exception that tasks throw if something goes wrong. True to its name, it aggregates all the task failures into a single exception.
In my case, the tasks that calculate the results were canceled successfully, but the ones that display the results to the UI failed. This is reasonable: there were no results to display.
Let's take a short pause here. Basically, to cancel a task, it's enough to just pass a cancellation token to the task and then call the Cancel method on the token, as I did above. But in the real world, even in a small application like this one, you have to deal with the consequences of task cancellation.
In my example, there are several options for handling this exception. First is the standard try-catch block. The exception is thrown by the delegate within the ContinueWith method, so I need to add the try-catch block right into the lambda expression. I may get more than one exception aggregated, so I need to iterate through the collection of inner exceptions to see the exceptions' messages.
This works fine. (You can compile and check, if you want to.) But once again, TPL provides a more elegant way of dealing with this type of issue: I can analyze what happened with the compute task and use its status to decide whether I want to start the display task.
Now I'm passing two more parameters to the ContinueWith method. The first is the cancellation token. I don't want the display task to be dependent on the cancellation token, so I'm passing CancellationToken.None. But I want this task to run only if the compute task returns some result. For this purpose I need to choose one of the TaskContinuationOptions. In my case the best solution is simply not to run the display task if the compute task was canceled. I can use the NotOnCanceled option that does just that.
But tasks may fail for some other reason, not just because of cancellation. I don't want to display results of any failed task, so I'm choosing the OnlyOnRanToCompletion option. I'll explain the "ran to completion" concept more a little bit later in this post.
However, the previous version with the try-catch block could also inform me that the tasks were indeed canceled. (Each task either printed the result or reported a cancellation by printing the exception message.) How to do the same in this version? Well, I can create a new task that will run only if the task is canceled. I'm going to convert the display task into two different tasks:
Now I get the same results as I did with the try-catch block, and I don't have to deal with exceptions at all. Let me emphasize that this is a more natural way of working with TPL and tasks, and I'd recommend that you to use this approach whenever possible.
By the way, if you click the Cancel button and then click the Start button in my application, all you will see is a list of canceled tasks and no results at all. The cancellation token got into the canceled state, and there is no way to turn it back to "not canceled." You have to create a new token each time. But in my case it's easy. I simply add the following line at the beginning of the event handler for the Start button:
Now let's take a look at the output of my little program. (I clicked Cancel right after I saw the results of the 5th root.)
You can see that after I canceled the operation some roots were calculated nonetheless. This is a good illustration of the task cancellation concept in .NET. After I called the Cancel method for the task cancellation token, tasks that were already running switched into the "run to completion" mode, so I got the results even after I canceled the tasks. The tasks that were still waiting in the queue were indeed canceled.
What if I don't want to waste resources and want to stop all computations immediately after I click Cancel? In this case, I have to periodically check for the status of the cancellation token somewhere within the method that performs the long-running operation. Since I declared the cancellation token as a field, I can simply use it within the method.
I made two changes: I removed the static keyword from the method declaration to enable field access, and I added a line that checks for the status of the cancellation token. The ThrowIfCancellationRequested method indicates so-called "cooperative cancellation," which means that the task throws an exception to show that it accepted the cancellation request and will stop working.
In this case, the thrown exception is handled by the TPL, which transitions the task to the canceled state. You cannot and should not handle this exception in your code. However, Visual Studio checks for all unhandled exceptions and shows them when in debug mode. So, if you now press F5, you're going to see this exception. Basically, you need to ignore it: You can simply press F5 several times to continue or run the program by using Ctrl+F5 to avoid debug mode.
Another possibility is to switch off the checking of these "unhandled by the user code" exceptions in Visual Studio: Go to Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General, and clear the Just My Code check box. This makes Visual Studio "swallow" this exception. However, this may cause side effects in your debugging routine, so check the MSDN documentation to make sure it's the right option for you.
Well, that's all what I wanted to show you this time. Here is the final code of my still surprisingly small program.
As usual, here are some links for further reading if you want to know more about task cancellation:
Thanks to Dmitry Lomov, Michael Blome, and Danny Shih for reviewing this and providing helpful comments, to Mick Alberts for editing.
The TokenSource and associated Token are fully thread-safe. You never pass the actual TokenSource to any other thread so the other threads simply call the thread-safe Token::ThrowIfCancellationRequested method directly.
Except I just noticed this IS using the TokenSource, something like below should be used instead:
public double SumRootN(int root, Token token)
double result = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < 10000000; i++)
result += Math.Exp(Math.Log(i) / root);
return result;
var compute = Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
return SumRootN(j, tokenSource.Token);
}, tokenSource.Token);
Before I can ask my colleagues to use this otherwise excellent article as a point of reference, the code is in need of some cleanup.
CancellationTokenSource tokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
// ....
tokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
Any reason why tokenSource is initialized in the declaration? That looks like a leftover from the previous version of this code. It is cleaner to test if tokenSource==null in cancel_Click() instead of making sure the object is always created.
Ordinarily I am all for "left as an exercise for the reader", but this is MS', what, third or fourth attempt at trying to lure regular developers to utilize some sort of threading library. IMO this requires absolute 100% top-notch quality code in all sample code and documentation.
@Nemo. I found myself adding the Token param also as I went through the code. Definite improvement
@@codesbad. I agree the initialization should not be done in the declaration by the final code iteration, but hey - it doesn't sour an otherwise *very* useful offering for this target audience, IMO. In fact I can't remember the last time I saw some meaty material from MS that was this well produced.
@Alexandra. Great job, will look for more of the same from you! Cheers
I understand the usefulness of throwing to cancel immediately out of a thread, but is using exceptions to control flow of a program considered best practice? It seems to me that if you are writing cooperateive cancellation, you should gracefully end the thread without throwing.
If you do use the ThrowIfCancellationRequested() method, and need to use it in a try block, how can you avoid catching it? is this acceptable?
catch (System.OperationCanceledException)
catch (Exception e)
// Handle e
Add a Thread.Sleep into the iteration code with a duration of say 5 seconds. Then 1 second after the loop has began, close the form. The threads can't exit even though you diligently made such a request in the form_closing event as each thread is locked in the ''pretend long running 3rd party web-service call or library call' that (Thread.Sleep is supposed to represent this). The user thinks the app has closed, but it ain't. =/
Further, if the loop logic raises events and those events are subscribed to by the UI, in which the UI perhaps increments a progress-bar and event fired when the form is closed and long gone, the event would execute code that raises exceptions on deallocated form resources.
Said user is now baffled as an error and an application debug/shut down request dialogue appears from no where.... I think we need a thread abort construct adding to this new library, and the dev should handle resource deallocation etc within the Thread.Abort Exception catch they put in the iteration logic.
I hope MS don't expect me to implement my own TaskShedualer to do this.. I think they do.. oh dear time to get the sledge hammer out. =(
@Alexandra Rusina

Actually MSDN specifies that an ArgumentNullException "is thrown when the scheduler argument is null" and my tests confirm this.
You may want to use TaskScheduler.Current instead.
Thank you.
You freed me from all that multithreading, background work , UI locking, Passing Data to a Thread Horror !!!
Great job Alexandra. Thanks alot for the excellent article as well as series.
But I have a Question.
Is it possible to cancel an individual task by not affecting other tasks? like we do in traditional threading(something like threadName.Abort( ) ).
Waiting for some reply.
I tried this piece of code , but it doesnt cancel :( i dont know why is happening that :/ . I am using net framework 4.5 :) Can anyone help me? PLEASE!
Would you please this post for .Net 4.5.1 and async/await.

Poinsettia Bowl History
2005 - Navy 51 ... Colorado State 30
Richard Cirminiello
Poinsettia Bowl Player profile
QB Jeff Ballard, TCU – Under "intangibles"
in the football dictionary, there ought to be a head shot of
Ballard. His spirals aren't always the tightest and he'd rather run
through a defender than slide in front of him, but he's won 18 of
his 20 career starts in Fort Worth, largely because of those unique
traits that are inherent to all winning players and can't be taught
at an Elite 11 Quarterback Camp. Ballard leads like a coach on the
field, makes everyone around him sharper and often plays through
pain, an infectious, yet all too common occurrence in 2006. Very
early in the season, the Frogs' offensive catalyst injured his back
and the AC joint in his throwing shoulder, yet hasn't missed a game
or many tacklers when scrambling outside the pocket. Only recently
has Ballard begun to approach 100% physically, and not
coincidentally, the TCU offense hasn't been this explosive since,
well, since Ballard replaced Tye Gunn behind center last October.
The Frogs went on a tear to finish the regular season, averaging 45
points a game over the final three weekends and twice racking up
more than 600 yards behind a perfect blend of the run and the pass.
An energized Ballard was the conductor, throwing seven touchdown
passes and running for four more, while completing nearly 80% of his
throws. A few extra weeks of rest leading up to this game means
he'll be as healthy as he's been all year, an ominous thought for
the suspect Northern Illinois pass defense. Ballard isn't up for
any national awards nor is he considered one of next April's
can't-miss NFL prospects. He just wins football games, which is
just fine for head coach Gary Patterson and the TCU program.
Best Horned Frog Bowl
– Generations before the current Frogs
were even out of diapers, TCU was
winning Southwest and national titles in
the 1930s with All-Americans, such as
Sammy Baugh and Davey O'Brien.
O'Brien's 1938 TCU team capped off a
perfect season with a 15-7 Sugar Bowl
victory over then- No. 5 Carnegie Tech.
Best Huskie Bowl Moment – There
wasn't much drama or many style points,
but Northern Illinois' 34-21 win over
Troy in the 2004 Silicon Valley Classic
was a landmark victory for a program
that was breaking a 21-year postseason
dry spell.
TCU's best win ...
TCU 12 ... Texas Tech 3
It wasn't a thing of beauty as Texas
Tech was held without a touchdown for the first time since 2000. Chris
Manfredini kicked four field goals, one in each quarter for all the
points TCU would need against a Red Raider offense that put up 242 yards
and only managed a 22-yard Alex Trlica field goal in the first quarter.
TCU outrushed Tech 180 yards to 34 and successful on three fourth down
TCU's worst loss ...
Utah 20 ... TCU 7
Utah got two touchdown passes from Brett Ratliff to Brett
Casteel and the defense forced three turnovers in the fourth quarter to
go 2-0 in Mountain West play. TCU got a one-yard Lonta Hobbs touchdown
run in the second quarter, but failed to connect on a few chances in the
second half and got many of its 310 yards on a garbage time final drive.
Louie Sakoda hit field goals from 29 and 32 yards out for the Utes.
Northern Illinois' best win ...
Northern Illinois 31 ... Central Michigan 10
Garrett Wolfe ran for three touchdowns scoring from ten, two
and 13 yards out and Dan Nicholson threw a 20-yard scoring pass as
Northern Illinois blew past the MAC West champions. The Chippewas
managed a one-yard Ontario Sneed touchdown catch and a 25-yard field
goal from Rick Albreski, but the defense couldn't handle Wolfe and a NIU
running game that helped the Huskies hold on to the ball for 33:42.
Northern Illinois' worst loss ...
Toledo 17 ... Northern Illinois 13
Toledo went on a 17-point first half run with Aaron Opelt
running for a six-yard score and threw a three-yard scoring pass to
Steve Odom, and then had to hang on for dear life as the Huskies, who
opened up the scoring with a five-yard Marcus Perez touchdown catch, got
two Chris Nendick field goals, and had a chance at the win on the final
drive. Helped by two pass interference calls, NIU got to the Rocket two.
After two incomplete passes and a run by Garrett Wolfe that went nowhere
thanks to a stop from Greg Hay, a Horvath pass to Britt Davis in the end
zone was broken up by Hay to preserve the win.
2005 Poinsettia Bowl
Navy 51 ... Colorado State 30
Navy ripped off 467 rushing yards in a game that saw 1,183
yards of total offense and a record-tying performance from Midshipman RB
Reggie Campbell, who scored five times. Colorado State held a 10-7 lead
after the first quarter, but Navy reeled off 27 straight points on
Campbell touchdown runs of 22, 2 and 21 yards out along with a 22-yard
Marco Nelson scoring run. CSU kept it interesting in the second half
thanks to QB Justin Holland, who finished with three touchdown passes,
including two in the third quarter to Dustin Osborn, but the navy option
proved to be too much to overcome with FB Adam Ballard pounding for 129
yards to lead the way.
Player of the game: Navy RB Reggie Campbell ran
16 times for 116 yards and three touchdowns, caught two passes for 89
yards and two scores, and returned four kickoffs for 85 yards.

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
The C&F extended tube body tool is more than two darning needles in a fancy holder.
|GFF rating: 5
Further info at the C&F site.
Contact C&F for dealer information.
by Henk Verhaar
A couple of years ago, Christian Billard introduced his readymade, lifelike hollow extended fly bodies, aptly named Tube Bodiz (he is a Frenchman, after all) to the world.
Besides using them as 'ordinary' extended bodies, he also introduced innovative patterns, like his Area 51, that made the most of his Tube Bodiz.
There are currently several manufacturers selling these or similar readymade extended bodies under sometimes very similar names. Czech Siman and also French Bidoz are two well known suppliers.
As I am quite partial to do-it-yourself, and therefore no big fan of readymade tying materials, I never bought any of these products - just like I only started using dubbing brushes after acquiring a (or actually several) contraptions to make these brushes myself.
On occasions I would see fellow demonstration tiers make such bodies, using makeshift tools and elaborate procedures. To me, it looked like more trouble than it was worth, and so I forewent this style of extended bodies, using clumps of deer hair, braided marabou, or furled wool and dubbing loops instead.
The C&F tool basically is nothing more than a darning needle - just like the makeshift tools I had seen others use. However, what sets it apart from other darning needles are three things:
one - the base of the darning needle is equipped with a small secondary needle, to trap and lock the first wraps of the base material.
two - it comes with its own adaptor to put the tool in a vice, so that additional manipulations can be performed on the body tube with both hands, such as adding a rib.
and three - it has a thick and a medium needle, one on either side of the tool, so that you can make several sizes of body tubes.
A fourth feature - a bottle with a specially formulated cement, actually a kind of acryllatex adhesive, to impregnate the bodies, I quickly put aside, since I found that flexament yields better bodies; plus the bottle is shaped such that you easily tip it, effectively coating your tying station and floor boards with the stuff...
So how does this tool work?
Well, basically you wrap dubbing around the needle, using the small auxiliary needle to lock the dubbing in place, going from thick end to tip and back again. When finished wrapping, you lock the dubbing material in place by rotating the tool between your fingers, tightening the wraps, and then soaking it with flexament or a similar flexible adhesive.
Then completed body can then be pushed off the needle, using your thumb and index finger nails. After drying, the body tube is ready to be attached to a hook and converted into a fly (see sequence).
The nice thing about making body tubes yourself is that you can add all kinds of embellishments, a.k.a. realistic additions, such as segmentation ribs, mayfly tails, trailing shucks, dragonfly nymph gills, or mayfly nymph side filaments, using moose mane hairs, marabou, ostrich, antron, you name it (see picture).
What's more, since you're making the tubes, you can integrate these additions in the body itself, like wrapping the tails into the body (see sequence), or attaching the ostrich filaments' while ribbing. Ribbing by the way is preferably done when the flexament is still wet; this is were the vice adapter comes in handy. I've also found that since I wrap the ribbing tip to base, front to back (see picture), it is best to wrap the dubbing material back to front, i.e. counterclockwise when seen from tip to base of the needle.
One thing to keep in mind is that not all dubbing materials are suited for this technique. You'll want a long-staple material with lots of 'cling', which usually means underfur from large animals, with lots of long fuzz. Rabbit, hare, or small rodents don't work worth a dime. Arctic fox and similar stuff can be used, if handled carefully. My favourites though are camel dry fly dubbing and good old sheep's fleece; these materials can be roped and wrapped around the needle without even looking, so much 'cling' do they possess. Musk ox underfur may also work, although it is hard to come by and comes in one colour only...
So is this tools worth its money? As all C&F tools, it is quite, even overly, expensive, at approximately €38.- (Approx. US$ 35.-)retail. However, this is one C&F gadget that I would not want to be without ever again (and hey, you don't have to tell me I am a gadget freak...)

Mera Joota Hai Japani
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2015)
|"Mera Joota Hai Japani"
|Film song by Mukesh from the album Shri 420
|Shankar Jaikishan
Mera Joota Hai Japani (Hindi: मेरा जूता है जापानी; Urdu: میرا جوتا ہے جاپانى ALA-LC: Merā Jūtā hai Jāpānī IPA: [meːrɑː d͡ʒuːt̪ɑː hɛː d͡ʒɑːpɑːniː] lit. My Shoes are Japanese) is a Hindi song with music by Shankar Jaikishan and lyrics by Shailendra, written for the 1955 Bollywood film Shree 420. It was performed by popular Bollywood star Raj Kapoor, though actually sung by playback singer Mukesh.
In the song, the narrator asserts their pride in being Indian, despite their clothes all being from other countries. The chorus runs:
- मेरा जूता है जापानी, ये पतलून इंगलिस्तानी
- सर पे लाल टोपी रूसी, फिर भी दिल है हिन्दुस्तानी
- Merā jūtā hai Jāpānī, ye patlūn Inglistānī
- Sar pe lāl ṭopī Rūsī, phir bhī dil hai Hindustānī
- My shoes are Japanese, these trousers English;
- The red cap on my head, Russian, yet my heart is Indian.
Due to its patriotic themes, the song was widely embraced in its time as a representation of the newly sovereign nation of India.[1] As India was gaining its status as a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic, this song depicted the casting off of the colonialist yoke and the recognition of the internationalist aim of uniting to make India and the world a better place.
This song gained international fame, particularly in the Soviet Union.
Cultural references[edit]
- In the opening chapter of Salman Rushdie's 1998 novel The Satanic Verses, Gibreel sings the first lines of the song while falling to the ground, but in English rather than Hindi in "deference to the uprushing host-nation"
- The first lines from the song are heard early in the 1991 film Mississippi Masala, at a significantly tense moment during the expulsion of Indians in Uganda in 1972.
- The 2000 Bollywood film Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani is named after a line in the song.
- Bengali author Mahasweta Devi quoted the lyrics in her inaugural address at the 2006 Frankfurt Book Fair and moved the audience to tears:
This is truly the age where the joota (shoe) is Japani (Japanese), patloon (pants) is Inglistani (English), the topi (hat) is Roosi (Russian), but the dil... dil (heart) is always Hindustani (Indian)... My country, torn, tattered, proud, beautiful, hot, humid, cold, sandy, shining India. My country.
- In the 2009 movie Today's Special starring Aasif Mandvi, "Mera Joota Hai Japani" plays on the radio in Naseeruddin Shah's cab.
- The 2012 re-make song Bollywood by Sasha Dith and DJ Rico Bernasconi featured on on the Buddha Bar XIV compilation features the original recording.
- In the 2013 film Gravity, the Indian astronaut Shariff, voiced by Phaldut Sharma, sings the first line of the song while taking a break from his duties in space.[2]

YIELD: Serves 8
With a sharp knife halve the whole duck breasts and score the skin in a 1/4-inch cross-hatch pattern. Put the duck in a large resealable bag. In a bowl whisk together the zest, the orange juice, the soy sauce, the oil, the honey, the vinegar, the red pepper flakes, and the salt, pour the marinade over the duck, and seal the bag. Let the duck marinate, chilled, turning the bag occasionally, for 8 hours or overnight.
Remove the duck from the marinade, reserving the marinade, pat it dry between paper towels, and season it with salt and pepper. Heat 2 heavy skillets over moderately high heat until they are hot and in each skillet cook 2 duck breast halves, skin sides down, for 5 minutes. Pour off the fat, reduce the heat to moderate, and cook the duck, skin sides down, for 20 minutes more, adjusting the heat if necessary for the skin to turn dark brown but not burn. Pour off the fat, turn the duck breasts, and cook them, covered, over moderate heat for 8 to 10 minutes more, or until a meat thermometer registers 145°F. to 150°F. for medium meat.
While the duck is cooking in a kettle sauté the garlic in the butter over moderately high heat, stirring, until it begins to turn golden, add the chicory with the water clinging to the leaves, and braise it, covered, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it is just tender. Season the chicory with salt and pepper and keep it warm.
Transfer the duck to a cutting board and let it stand for 5 minutes. To one of the skillets add the water, deglaze the skillet over moderate heat, scraping up the brown bits, and add the deglazing liquid to the other skillet with the reserved marinade. Bring the liquid to a boil and deglaze the second skillet, scraping up the brown bits. Add any juices that have accumulated on the cutting board and simmer the sauce for 2 minutes, or until it is thickened slightly. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve into a small bowl. Cut the duck across the grain into thin slices, divide the chicory among 8 plates, and arrange the duck on it. Drizzle some sauce around each serving.

Other Desert Perspectives, Las Vegas
18 Reviews
18 Reviews
We booked everything from home, via the Internet. Plane, hotel, and extras. Among the extras we booked a horse riding excursion in the desert, which was amazing.
The excursion was scheduled at sunset; they came to pick us up in the hotel. Driving to destination took about 45 minutes, in direction NW Vegas.
We arrived at this place, hidden among red rocky hills. Cowboys were doing their own business, working, taking care of the horses. It really had a genuine feeling of being in a place not built for tourists; those people spend most of their days there, living a kind of life that's light years far from our regualr day life.
The neon lights of the strip, the cocktails, the shows, everything seemed something from the past.
We went horse riding in the desert. Don't worry, if me and my wife did it, anybody can. Eevn though I happened to have the craziest horse of the group (gave me a couple of problems in the beginning, but nothing too bad), I enjoyed the trip like I would have never imagined.
It's tough to describe the feeling of freedom I felt when riding on my horse on the rocky terrain at sunset. The red stones around us took an even weirder color.
The movies with John Wayne, an idol of mine when I was a kid, came to my mind and I was surprised about how happy I was feeling. But I did not waste time thinking too much about it, and let the little boy inside take charge of the situation and just enjoyed the ride.
We came back at around 9 p.m.. Dark. In the distance we could see the lights of Vegas. But up above our heads, there was a beautiful black sky filled with stars. Considering I am also a amateur astronomer, I was almost in heaven.
When we got back at the home, they cooked the meal, which was included in the fare. A nice barbecued chicken with roasted potatoes and vegetables. After dinner a group of us went outside with the lead guide of the group. We sat in circle on bales of hay, while the cowboy told us about the desert...
One of the best things I have ever done.
If you are up for about a 1.5 hour drive and enjoy crazy, surreal experiences, I HIGHLY suggest you make a pilgrimage out to Amargosa Valley just northwest of LV, to Marta Becketts theater, the Amargosa Opera House. She is an amazing older woman who bought an abondoned complex of buildings in Death Valley Junction and turned it into her lifelong dream. She does a 2- person performance of various musical pantomime in the theater where she has painted her own audience floor to ceiling (she is an accomplished artist and many of her works are displayed in the motel attached to the theater). I'm actually not into musicals or theater but this is an experience you will NEVER forget, believe you me. I could go on and on but check out this article about her from Smithsonian magazine: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian/issues96/jan96/theplayers_jpg.html
My wife and I were married in Death Valley at the Furnace Creek Inn which is only another 45 mins. down the road (Death Valley National Park). I highly recommend that you stay the night at the Longstreet Casino http://www.longstreetinn.com/, just 6 miles north of DV Junction (we have stayed at Marta's motel, but it's a little reminiscent of a certain Hitchcock motel and the beds aren't too comfy, esp. for the $50- plus price tag. It's not too far of a drive to the Park, and the hotels at DV National Park are at best incredibly expensive (in the cool months), or at least not worth the price for the small, lame motel-esque rooms). The Longstreet has super swank rooms, some with fireplaces for $50-80, and the food in the cafe is really quite good.
I'm not a big fan of the 'strip' in Las Vegas so when I went with my husband who was on business I looked for things away from that area. About 50 miles north of the city is the one of the most beautiful places I have been. It's the Valley of Fire State Park. It's very easy to get to since it's easily marked off the interstate and your eyes will be amazed at what nature has created. There is Rainbow Vista where the rocks are purple, pink, etc..., the beehive rocks, the Seven Sister Rocks, the White Domes, and so much more. I went on a short hike at the White Dome section and there is even a small portion of a old movie set still there but at one point on my left was desert with red rock mountain in the distance and on my immediate right were walls of rainbow colored stone. There was no sound, no tourists, and just peace and I felt like the only person on the face of the earth. If you go, bring some water because there is no vendor there to buy from (they do have a outside faucet to fill them up at the visitor's center) and if you plan to walk the trails, wear, at least, some tennis shoes (not flip flops like one poor man I saw). It's well worth the drive and will make the strip look gaudy and tacky in comparison.
When going to the Hoover Dam, make sure to take the scenic route going to Lake Mead. This route is taken in the middle of the city in Boulder. If you are driving, make sure to be alert on checking the road signs because when you missed the sign in Boulder City, you have to turn around.
The scenic route is actually a better route because the roads snake through the top of a hill overlooking Lake Mead. The lookout is close to the road and just slow down and park your car on the side. Be careful when crossing the road...
Mojave National Preserve is an undiscovered treasure in Vegas' backyard. We have made one trip out there and will be back to continue to explore. The largest Joshua Tree forest I've ever seen is located here. If you love desert photography, be sure to bring your camera.
I-15 south, cross into California. Exit Nipton exit and turn left. approx 3 miles on right turn onto Ivanpath. First right is Morning Star Mine Road. This will take you into Cima and on to Kelso. Will also be taking you though a huge Joshua Tree forest. Visitors center in Kelso to get maps, etc.
Short, sandy hike will reward you with some great view of 1000 year old petroglyphs. Words can't describe the feeling of spirit and history that lives here.
To reach here from Vegas, go S. on 95 (WATCH YOUR SPEED IN SEARCHLIGHT... GO THE SPEEDLIMIT!!!) . At 163 and turn east. Continue another few miles till you see the sign for Christmas Tree Pass, and then turn left. Dirt road, accessable by most vehicles. Approx 2 miles you'll see parking on the left. (between searchligh and 163 you'll pass a sign for Christmas Tree Pass, unless you have 4 wheel, dont' use this turn)
There are a few good private websites, search using Grapevine Canyon NV.
Once you head into Arizona from the Hoover Dam there is nothing but desert and I mean nothing.. Well there was this delightful little gift shop across from a propane company but that was about it ..the lady who owned the gift shop just wanted to make sure we were going to buy something before we used her facility because out in the desert they have to bring water in by truck..600 feet down is just too deep to dig a well.. way to expensive..and water as you can imagine is a commodity in the Arizona desert... In July the temperature reaches around 120 degees F and as a lady at convenience store said when it is this hot people are downright mean.. .. I got out of our air conditioned vehicle just to compare the heat here as opposed to the humid heat in Florida.. 120 degees is hot.. Dry or wet.. I didn't stay out long.
Rent a car and do your own sightseeing. If you go on a bus, you are limited to the amount of time you can spend at an attraction.
You can drive to RED ROCK
Valley of fire
Hoover Dam
Lake meade
and the grand canyon.
How about a drive to Lake Havasau City to see the London Bridge and then return to Vegas via the famous RT 66.
Drive to laughlin and primm.
How about death valley.
Tours to the grand canyon can cost you upwards of 200.
If your looking for a little quiet meditation time, or someplace to jog away from the exhaust fumes, visit the wetlands park. The Nature Preserve features two miles of concrete walking trails, graveled secondary trails, a bird viewing blind, and ponds. The trails are well marked, and the park is open from dawn till dusk. You will need a car to get here, but for the unique side of las vegas, its well worth an hour or two of your time.
About 90 miles south of 'Vegas you'll find Grapevine Canyon. An out of the way and little visited location to look at Native American rock 'paintings'.
From the parking area it's about a 1/3 mile walk to the area of 'rock art'. Just a little further past this are the grapevines.
You'll want to bring plenty of water. It was 95 degrees the mid-October day we visited.
Out of 'Vegas you take US-95 south past Searchlight, NV. If you've got an SUV, you can take a left at 'Christmas Tree Pass'. about 13 miles along on this dirt road is the turn-out for Grapevine Canyon.
For those without an SUV, keep going past Searchlight for the road to Laughlin, NV-163. Make your left here, and then take a left onto 'Christmas Tree Pass'. From here it's just a couple miles to the turn-out.
There are some great junkyards north of Nellis AFB on the north side of town. I had a great adventure one day looking for a tire rim. Nothing rusts here to speak of, and the yards are full of old neon casino signs and vintage autos waiting to be restored. The ground is supposedly very slightly radioactive. The junkyard man will allude to everything he might (or might not) know about space aliens, but the gummint has sworn him to secrecy.
Tecopa Hot Springs: Another picture of the actual bathing buildings (but don't judge a book by its cover...). The guys are to the left and the gals are to the right. The gals are lucky enough to have smooth river rock on the bottom to massage their tired tootsies and also have an open roof to view the stars at night. (the guys are relegated to a plain concrete bunker but can sit outside in a private courtyard to cool off in between dunks).
this place is a real gem in the desert, only here can you see a wild wild west show pet a donkey, and eat the best hamburger you ever had... bonnie springs. once in red rock head over towards blue diamond and it's on your right hand side. they have a wild west show that i have never seen, but hear it when i come there. they have a petting zoo that has a wide variety of stinky animals ( i love animals, these animal truly stink you will see ) they have a buffalo, goats, lama's, and some lynx cats.. gotta see it. the only reason i would drive 35 minutes from where i live to eat is to go to bonnie springs, they have the " BONNIE BURGER" this is a meat lovers burger, it truly is worth the drive!!!!
It pains me to know people who have lived in Vegas for years have either 1, never been to Southern Utah and seen any of the National Parks there, or 2, never been to the Tecopa Hot Springs. It is a fantastic, truly surreal experience, and being only 90 miles from LV (on Hwy 127 going toward Death Valley), it is really something you shouldn't miss. The place consists of two concrete block buildings at the base of a tiny hill where natural mineral hot springs have flowed for millenia (ok, a long time). It is operated by Inyo County as is EXTREMELY clean and sanitary. It is a Mecca for transient retirees (snowbirds) who migrate from Arizona to spend days or weeks soaking arthritic bones and sore muscles in the magic water. The people who go here are all super friendly and talkative (sometimes a bit too much considering you are completely naked while in the baths). I'm not a nudist or exhibitionist and was very uncomfortable with the whole idea (it is required by the health code to be nude and to take a shower first), but got very used to it quickly after feeling the incredibly soothing water. Unfortunately there aren't any decent hotels around and I would recommend staying in Shoshone or at the Longstreet Casino at Death Valley Junction if you are passing through toward DV. Drop those drawers and I guarantee you'll never regret (or forget) this experience! There are also a couple "iffy" motels here, including the Tecopa Springs Resort, but I would recommend camping.
Las Vegas grows by the week. Thousands of new homes are being built - rent a car and take a ride through the new suburbs. This place is growing like a virus. Plus golf courses are springing up .... plus new casinos that offer water shows .... HOW LONG?

N.J. billionaire predicts strong stock markets
David Tepper, checking in at number 62 on the Forbes 400 money list, is the founder of Appaloosa Management, which is a hedge fund investment firm based in Chatham, N.J., just west of New York City. It oversees $12.4 billion in client assets.
In a CNBC interview on Friday, Tepper, 53, said government intervention in the financial markets virtually guarantees that most investment choices will go up.
Businessinsider.com reports that the billionaire from New Jersey said, "I am the animal at the head of the pack... I either get eaten, or I get the good grass."
Right now he's loving the Fed put — basically the Fed's promise to intervene if the economy is weak — so he's pretty bullish on stocks.
Even though market reaction has been tepid, Tepper said this week's Federal Reserve Open Market Committee Statement reflected that the government will do whatever it needs to keep the capital markets from sinking below a designated level.Dailyfinance.com reports that in 2009, Tepper jumped on badly beaten up financial stocks like Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C) as fears of a nationalization that could wipe out equity holders pushed shares to rock bottom levels. The bet paid off enormously.
According to CNBC, Tepper's fund made $7.5 billion last year on a return of 132 percent, made mostly by betting on a resurgence in financials. He said the choice was easy — he simply followed the government's telegraphed moves that it was going to buy bank equity to make sure the industry did not completely collapse.
Tepper initially became interested in the stock market as a young boy watching his father trade stocks in his hometown of Pittsburgh. Today, as president and founder of Appaloosa Management, Tepper has earned an international reputation for producing some of the highest returns amongst fund managers on Wall Street.
According to gurufocus.com, Tepper earned a master of science in industrial administration from Carnegie Mellon in 1982. He donated a record $55 million to the Graduate School of Industrial Administration. It is now called the Tepper School of Business. The gift is the largest donation to Carnegie Mellon University in its 104-year history.
Tepper, who is notoriously shy when it comes to granting interviews, appeared to move the market as he spoke on CNBC Friday morning, with the Dow gaining nearly 200 points on the day.

[NAV Corp.Ed. 7.61.935] Versio of Virus Definition File disappeared
It's a couple of days that the version information concerning the virus definition file is empty. I was used to see a date, there. Now it is blank. I launched LiveUpdate but there is no new virus definition file. It looks like NAV is up to date and works, but there is no way to get that date back. Any idea why? Thank you in advance.
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
And now I see also the RED universal NO icon on the NAV shield in quick tray. However it does not look related to real time protection. RTP is enabled. So I downloaded from Symantec site the latest virus definition file (20080122) and installed it. Installation was successful but still the version date does not appear in virus definition file info box, and the no icon is still there. I am really puzzled. Can anybody out of Symantec please help me? I am worried.
Im seeing this also, and as others have stated, on unrelated sites. Definition dates/versions are no longer shown either in the client screen or within the server console.
Is this something related to SAV8.x no longer being supported?
Whilst support for SAV8.x may have ended, I see no reason to disable the displaying of definition dates etc. I now have to explain to several of my clients why legitimately purchased software is being restricted by Symantec. Is this some ploy to force upgrades, even though in the cases of my clients the updates arent needed?
I would appreciate a response from Symantec if the displaying of definition data has been disabled or tampered with as a result of of SAV8.x reaching the end of its support.
Including this post, there appears to be at least 3 separate threads discussing this issue none of which have a suggested fix or an official MOD response:
Is there anyone out there with any answers? You time and response would be greatly appreciated!

The Girls Gone Wild team was invited back to the hotel room by these two very hot brunettes, who were both named Lauren. At first they acted shy, but then with a little teasing they were more open about taking off their tops. One had on a jean skirt and red top, and the other was hiding a pair of very big tits under her black tube top. Watch the full video of these two babes when you join GGW as a Member.
As always, things got wild when the Girls Gone Wild team visited a packed club. We found these two crazy girls who started stripping and kissing each other's tits. They also licked each other's pussy and wanted us to capture it all on video.
Liz invited us back to her place, and things got naughty fast the moment she went into the hot tub. She was wearing just the thinnest white tank top shirt imaginable and some teal-green panties. Giving us a flash of her ass and breasts, she revealed she had some very young, perky tits and a bubble butt. Her face is cute and she's always smiling. Before we need to even ask, she gets her top wet in the water and you can see her nipples in her now soaked see-through shirt.
These two party girls named Kim and Alyssa had the courage to show us how kinky they are in the bedroom. When we asked them about their favorite sex position, one of them replied "I just like to fuck!". The scene gets hotter when the girl in a tight dress pulls down her top and bra to let her friend suck on her nipples.
They're best friends. Best friends forever, they told us. Known each other all their lives. That's a lot of time for two girls to wonder what it's like to have their tongues wrapping and wrestling inside each others' mouths. Our Girls Gone Wild camera operator got these two very hot and willing to show us their slow, sensual girl on girl kiss. The kind of girl on girl kiss that would go down in history as one of the hottest ever caught on tape.
She told us she was really horny and hadn't had sex in a while. We made her even more wet by keeping the camera focused on her, and asking questions that teased her very sexual mind. She started rubbing her pussy while she still had her shorts on, but you can tell her rack was top quality behind her bra. This scene gets better and better, one of our favorites. See it all as a Member.
Sometimes it's as easy as showing up. When this blonde and brunette saw our tour bus, they were eager to be on Girls Gone Wild. We invited them on board and they were excited to be inside. To show their gratitude, it took them less than a minute and not much persuasion to get them to make out for the camera.

SCHERERVILLE | A woman stole a purse from an elderly Walmart customer about 12:15 p.m. Saturday at the store, 1555 U.S. 41.
Video surveillance shows the suspect following the elderly victim throughout the store until she had an opportunity to remove the victim's purse from a shopping cart, police said.
The suspect is seen leaving the store and getting into a gray Dodge or Ford van.
While backing out of a parking space, the van hit a shopping cart another customer was using in the parking lot.
Police said it appears the suspect had a conversation with that person before leaving the area.
The suspect is described as a white female with blonde hair in a ponytail. She was wearing glasses, a light green shirt and black pants during the theft, police said.
Anyone with information about the theft is asked to contact Schererville police Detective Patrick Rosado at (219) 322-5000.

Sexy, cute, funny....looking for the same!
I am looking for a partner in crime and someone to enjoy this crazy city with. I love to laugh consider myself very easy going. I enjoy traveling, I recently went to India for work and prior to that took a vacation on a catamaran to the British Virgin Islands. I love getting dressed up and going out but I am just as happy dressing down and having a night in with some wine pizza. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor and truly enjoy the company of others that share that same humor. Having someone make me genuinely laugh is a great feeling. I know that this city can be challenging to meet people...but I would love to prove the stereotypes wrong. I am a romantic at heart and believe that the right person is out there for me...I just haven't found them yet.

Commerce, Lelabar, Bayards, WXOU bar, On the Rocks, Casallula, MOMA, The Smith, the couch in my apartment, my kitchen
Music - all kinds. I love the Pixies, Talking Heads, The White Stripes, Primus. But I also love classical music too and have sung in different choral groups in the city. I recently saw Mazzy Star - a great throwback to the 90's.
In no particular order, reading the Sunday Times in the Park, seeing live music, cooking dinner for friends, yoga classes, dinners with tasting menus, exploring parts of the city I have never been to..
Mrs. Kennedy & Me by Clint Black. Written by Jackie Kennedy's assigned secret service man. Very touching.

The Mediterranean Market: Fish & Shellfish
Bowery Culinary Center, Whole Foods Market
Tuesday, August 12, 2014 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM (EDT)
Hands-On & Demonstration, $50
Traveling though the Mediterranean, it's easy to be overwhelmed by the scope of cultures and cuisines, as well as the stunning array of produce and bounty from the sea. In this class, we'll learn a few useful basics before feasting: how to fillet a whole fish, what to look for when buying fish, and most importantly, how to cook seafood to perfection with simple sauces that bring color and maximum flavor.
On the Menu: Scallops Provençal with Tomatoes and Rosemary; Sicilian Seafood Stew; Spanish Shrimp with Garlic and Smoked Paprika; Roasted Fish in Parchment Paper with Wine and Fresh Herbs.
Instructor: Wai Chu, Culinary Center Educator
