Newslaundry Hafta – Episode 21
June 25, 2015
Wow! Sometimes even Trehan talks sense!
Good to see Madhu Trehan FINALLY waking up to what has been blindingly obvious to
almost every educated, aware and intelligent Indian for the past several
years. Though I must add that if *this* opinion piece in IE by the husband-wife duo of Javed Anand and Teesta Setalvad is really what opened Madhu's eyes to the nature of India's hypocritical "secularism", then I wonder in what world had she been living all this while in the first place?! I can easily recount at least 1000 other instances (all in the past decade) that precisely make Madhu's points, and even more strongly than this stupid Javed-Teesta article.
What surprises me even more is that Madhu ever held *any* respect for Javed and Teesta at all! Remember what Teesta remarked on the day when 60 pilgrims returning from a trip to the makeshift Ram temple at Ayodhya (including 40 women and children) were burnt alive by a Muslim mob in Godhra in Gujarat in 2002? Read it in the last paragraph at ow.ly/d8FUD or at http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A13791-2002Feb27?
"While I condemn today's
gruesome attack, you cannot pick up an incident in isolation. Let us not
forget the provocation. These people were not going for a benign
assembly. They were indulging in blatant and unlawful mobilization to
build a temple and deliberately provoke the Muslims in India."
Have you ever read a more blatantly mischievous misrepresentation of facts, and a more flagrantly incendiary and grossly insensitive remark? Please remember, this was *after* the Godhra Sabarmati Express train burning but *before* any retaliatory Hindu violence against Muslims (that subsequently became the infamous 2002 two-sided riots). Firstly, those people were *pilgrims* returning from the makeshift Ram Lalla temple at Ayodhya. But even if Teesta was right that they were "blatantly mobilizing to build a temple", then how the HELL is that unlawful? How the HELL is that provoking a Muslim mob so much that they resort to the cold-blooded murder of 60 pilgrims (including 40 women and children) by burning them alive in a train carriage? Can you imagine the "secular" UPROAR that would have happened had Narendra Modi made the above statements (replace "temple" with "mosque" and "Muslims" with "Hindus")?
So I am definitely surprised that Madhu Trehan EVER had ANY respect AT ALL for confirmed Islamofascist terrorists and violence-condoning bigots like Teesta Setalvad and her husband Javed Anand. Teesta was *never* a do-gooder or a social activist. She was always a political pawn of the Congress who has relentlessly pursued (and pushed) Congress' cynical minortyist appeasement and votebank agenda. "Communal Combat", the NGO-cum-publication agency managed by Teesta and Javed receives millions of dollars in funding from the Congress. She has even ghostwritten other persons' affidavits filed in court. The Supreme Court of India even warned her against continuing to commit perjury a year or so back. Sadly, both her husband and she will likely escape prison time for their hate speeches, defamation, evidence tampering, perjury and other frauds, because she is known to be extremely close to Sonia Gandhi and her all-powerful secretary Ahmed Patel.
But the problem runs deeper than just the Teesta-Javed duo. Like I said above, I can give 1000s of other such openly hypocritical examples where mainstream media journalists who pass themselves as "liberal tolerant intellectuals" are in reality the worst kind of fascist bigots. "Secularism" has become a *thoroughly* abused word in India. Any Muslim action (even if violent) is always condoned and any Hindu action (even if peaceful) is denounced as "provocation".
For Madhu Trehan and others: Please read Minhaz Merchant's several brilliant articles on India's pseudo-secular votebank politics and how it conspires to keep the Muslims impoverished, uneducated. ghettoized, and shackled, instead of empowering them. Some Google search strings: "minhaz merchant sham secularism" (parts 1 and 2) and "minhaz merchant ayatollahs of secularism" (parts 1 and 2).
PS: Madhu, if you have *really* have any evidence or footage to show that Narendra Modi was responsible (in any way) for the Gujarat 2002 riots, then please contact the Supreme Court of India and/or the SC-appointed SC-monitored Special Investigation Team IMMEDIATELY. (You are actually actively breaking the law if you are withholding any relevant evidence.) But if you do *not* have any such evidence, then please realize that you are indulging in defamation, slander, and possibly even contempt.
You wrote an amazingly great piece especially the one about teesta setalvad but you spoiled it with the last para iam sorry to say.
Sorry if you feel that way, but I stand by what I said in the last para. Personally, I have not seen one shred of hard factual evidence or footage that could clinch Narendra Modi's culpability (either direct or indirect) in the Gujarat 2002 riots. Given that, I would firmly believe our legal and justice system. Please note that the CBI took over the case within months of the riots, and the CBI has been under Congress/UPA for the past 8 years. Also note that the SC appointed and monitored the SIT (comprising retd CBI investigating officers) to look into the riots. If still there is no evidence (as per the SIT and the SC) to prosecute (or even chargesheet) Modi, then I just don't understand why the media / "intellectuals" / talking heads feel necessary to personally convict him as guilty? And if they really have some evidence to make them feel that Modi was indeed guilty, then why would they not share it with the SC to see whether it "holds up" as well as to get justice done?
People are asking me to substantiate my claim that Teesta Setalvad and her NGO-cum-publication "Communalism Combat" receives funds from the Congress party:
has even blatantly accepted this fact in an interview herself! The
Congress party, CPI, CPM party, and few others contributed more than 1.5
crores to her NGO-cum-publication "Communal Combat" to "run a sustained
ad campaign against the BJP and the Sangh". These are her own words!
Read here:
In this interview, both Javed Anand and Teesta Setalvad blandly accept that the Congress party and other political parties like CPI/CPM etc bankroll them! Moreover, just do a Google search or even read the Wikipedia articles for Teesta Setalvad and Communalism Combat.
Refreshingly balanced perspective. I think it is wonderful that, finally, someone has been able to put across a purely humanitarian view in this clutter of vulgar vote bank politics. Your comments on the evolution / degradation in the life cycle of the social activist is also a brilliant analysis on the unfortunate diffusion of social cause with self interest driven populist agenda.
As disappointing as your interviews. Madhu, try having some regard for facts before you do anything. You don't have information base to write this , will gain you only cheap points of extremists. Bad work.
Kumud Singh: Can you elaborate as to where she has written with no regard for facts?
What do you see now that you were unable to see a few years ago. Well this what going on for such a long time that congress lickspittals are blind to the obvious reality.
The day when India becomes an islamic republic try writing essays supporting minorites ( Hindus for eg.) and then see how the state comes down on you.
it will never become an islamic republic! the country will split into fractions if some try to coerce …
I'm not surprised by Teesta's article. Those who have been following her over the years could have written this on her behalf, so well known are her opinions and rants. I am surprised that Ms Trehan has written this. Good for you, Ms Trehan. I have seen the brickbatting you are facing on Twitter from "secular liberals" over this article. This too shall pass. Damned if you do, damned if you don't, eh?
Guess you were overworked and your processing time took years to understand the truth! No issues…better late than never
Bravo Madhu Trehan! take a bow!
excellent article madhu. this is what you need to do, not some idiotic interviews. yours analysis is perfect and have no,point which cant be put to debate and thus getting a non conclusive end. it reflects what we ought to be than what we are.
its not "can't" but "can" in the second line. in nutshell, i mean the facts given by madhu can't be put to debate as they are unambiguously true to the core.
kudos …madhu….finally u got to know teesta and her husband…….now who is communal….modi who has left behind riots in 2002 and take gujarat to new height or teesta and her team still stuck in 2002 and anti hindu mentality evenafter SIT report…..hope u would understand reality versus fiction…..
by the way has anyone done any investigation about funds received by teesta and her NGO'S ?
She has even blatantly accepted as much in an interview herself! The Congress party, CPI, CPM party, and few others contributed more than 1.5 crores to her NGO-cum-publication "Communal Combat" to "run a sustained ad campaign against the BJP and the Sangh". These are her own words! Read here:
Moreover, just do a Google search or even read the Wikipedia articles for Teesta Setalvad and Communalism Combat.
good one mate…..excellent…..good post and u should start a blog…….u r better than current journo's
welcome to the Internet Hindus community Ms Trehan!!!now be ready to face the flak of the pseudos & even to hear urself as Communal & RSS wala or BJP sponsored journo…………….Lol!!!
Some good points here. However, what I fail to understand is why should somebody's silly report convert you into an internet Hindu? That seems to make no sense to me whatsoever. There will always be biased reports, but is your own viewpoint so fragile that a veteran journalist will change your belief because of them? I really am perplexed and would like your comments on this.
now that you know the truth & believe what many of us have known for many years, why don't you get into investigating the funds of all the linked companies, trusts, association of persons etc that are linked directly or indirectly with Teesta & Javed? Investigate & then come out with the authentic report … do put a stop to this vindictive propaganda of this duo & their henchmen & it will save our country from a LOT OF EVIL! many like me back you Madhu Trehan & bless you will LOTS OF GOOD WISHES for the same of this country & humanity… the time is NOW!
Superb article by Mrs Trehan…..Second last paragraph revealing d psychology of a social activist holds ground and logic in any part f d world…..Correct analysis of d situation including d mindset f d commisoner who seem to fulfill political motives instead f performing his duty…Keep it up…We wish to see more f such laundering articles….
A Very well written article.
"To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man."
WOW! Great article.Huge respect for u and repungance for the husband wife pair of Teesta-Anand,the self-proclaimed saviour of the muslims.You are absolutelyright that u will join the community of the "INTERNET HINDUS", which are not sponspored by the RSS but are themselves genetically fearful of any non-hindu from outside,since the days of the aryans.Well they are so much into idiocracy,that the feel that INDIA, a country of over 70% Hindus will become an islamic republic,like many other long list of countries.The thought is suprisingly funny and stupid,given the fact that HIndus will never start using contraceptives and produce some people that come on the internet to destroy the muslims and talk of being educated with their fancy english,but still believe(religiously)that a strange monkey actually swallowed the sun and still lived.
The above piece is the perfect eye opener for the so called secular activists Anand & Setalvad. Pity that they are blind. When I read the piece by them on 17 August, I was wondering how Indian Express allowed such a piece to be published? The piece was anti-secular and throws away the hypocritical secular robe that they so proudly flaunt. The minority rights issue championed by them for years is just a baseless cause a.k.a Congress cause. It is an underground polity which is played in a way not to educate the majority of the illiterate minority, but to divide the already divided minority for a vote-bank. And the Congress have largely succeeded in doing so and will continue to do so. Indian voters can't be swayed just with the issue of non-development. We need more than that. We are used to climax and anti-climaxes, in real and reel life. And it excites us too. We don't have much either to play around in this country. Do we? I am sure Anand & Setalvad hold Pakistani passports and if not they should apply for one, asap. They are anti-nationals and do much more harm than a AK-47 trotting Ajmal Kasab.
Bravo Madhu,i appreciate your courage to write this article,we need a voice in this country of mutes!!!
" i don't need religion, i use hair conditioner."
Madhu, How difficult would it be for "you" to get confirmation if the apprehended rioter whom Ravindra Shisve held is one of the named in the FIR? If you truly believe that police "always" does what it has been trained to do then why did you mention in your show and book on the line that "if someone in power wants you inside, you will be inside" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I–rXynJF_8#t=14m24s . Do people in Power do it without the help of Police?

UAE's one of the world's biggest nuclear power plant contracts has been attracting companies across the globe as no one wants to miss the opportunity to bag the contract worth $40 billion aimed to develop several nuclear reactors.
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak would land in the United Arab Emirates Saturday in an apparent attempt to make diplomatic pressure on the UAE government to win the project by a South Korean consortium.
A presidential official said in a statement, "President Lee Myung-bak will have a summit with UAE President Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan over the weekend. Whether the South Korean consortium will win the project is still unclear, but President Lee's visit to the UAE is part of our diplomatic efforts to win the final ticket to the project."
A South Korean consortium has been doing its best to bag the largest ever nuclear project in the Middle-East through it renowned firms including Korea Electric Power Corp, Hyundai Engineering and Construction, Samsung C&T Corp and Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction.
However, Areva Corp. led French Consortium is likely to give stiff competition to the Korean Consortium.

Dubai HotelsA superlative-loving city of modern architectural marvels, Dubai sits like a gleaming desert utopia on the Persian Gulf coast. A destination for city breaks and beach vacations alike, Dubai is known for its glamorous hotels, fine multicultural dining, and some of the coolest nightlife in the Middle East. Shopping here is a must too – whether you want to bargain hunt in a fragrant souk, or splurge on luxury labels in a palatial shopping mall. For the adventurous, a camel ride through the bumpy desert dunes is not to be missed.Things to seeTowering high above Dubai's futuristic skyline, Burj Khalifa is the world's tallest building. The shimmering skyscraper stands at a dizzying height of 829 meters, and is home to offices, hotel accommodation, private residences, and an observation deck. At its base sits the famously flamboyant Dubai Fountain, which performs an animated show every half hour during the evenings. A musical spectacle of light and color, jets of water are propelled as high as 500 feet into the air. Nearby, Dubai Mall will test even the hardiest of shopaholic's mettle. The world's largest shopping center, it boasts over 1,200 stores, and features restaurants, cinema screens, an ice rink, an indoor theme park, and the mesmerizing Dubai Aquarium. With its ornate façade and towering minarets, Jumeirah Mosque is quite possibly the best looking one in Dubai. It's also the only mosque in the city that offers tours to non-Muslims, should they fancy a snoop around its lavishly adorned interior.Hotels in DubaiWith its reputation as a playground for the super-rich and fabulously famous, the luxury hotels in Dubai come in suitably ostentatious 5-star style. High rise hotel or beach resort, you can expect glittering chandeliers, plush suites with ocean views, indulgent spa pampering, and every amenity under the sun. Whilst the city isn't exactly known for being a budget-friendly destination, there are some cheaper hotels in Dubai that provide a comfortable stay. The only downside however is that some of them may keep you a little out of the city center action.Where to stayDowntown Dubai is the city's shiny skyscraping heart, home to big-scale attractions like Burj Khalifa, and the glossy Dubai Mall. For those who like dicing with financial ruin, there are many other shopping hubs here too, as well as numerous upscale restaurants and nightspots to live it up in. If R&R is as equally important to you as retail therapy, then basing yourself at Jumeirah Beach allows you to retreat to the sun, sea, and pristine white sand once you're spent. Many hotels here feature their own private beaches, whilst the Jumeirah Mosque and Wild Wadi Water Park are also located here too.How to get to DubaiA city full of the biggest, tallest, and the best, Dubai's main airport is no exception. The busiest in the world, Dubai International Airport provides non-stop links to destinations throughout the Middle East, as well as scheduled services to cities all over the world. Once you've landed getting to your accommodation should be a breeze, with the airport's well-connected metro station and plentiful bus services. Alternatively, many hotels provide their own airport transfers with prior arrangement. International travelers can also land at Al Maktourn International Airport, which serves a smaller number of destinations.

Top 5 games from Eastern Europe
It's always a good idea for any gamer to check out foreign games. Different cultures influence the creative process in different ways for results that can be very original and innovative. Let's take a look at a region that very rarely comes to mind as far as video games go.
Developer: Alexei Pajitnov (USSR)
Original release: June 6 1984
Platforms: Various
This entry doesn't need any introduction or much of a write-up. The granddaddy of all puzzle games is just as much a part of most gamers' childhood as Sonic and Mario. Ever since its birth in 1984, this classic has been redone numerous times on various consoles and still remains a popular way to kill time
Evil Islands
Developer: Nival Interactive (Russia)
Original release: October 2000
Platform: PC
The Allods franchise (known as Rage of Mages in the west) focused on a unique blend of hack/slash and strategy, with characters that possess various strengths and weaknesses teaming up to slay hordes of monsters. Evil Islands, the third installment in the franchise, took it to 3D with bright colors and cheesy dialogue for a very light-hearted cartoony feel. It added a lot of customization by completely doing away with character classes. Each character is a clean slate that can learn any ability and level up any attribute to specialize in any given task, whether it's meele combat, archery, pickpocketing or three types of magic. Something you won't see in most traditional RPGs is the stone age setting at the beginning of the game – your characters start off wearing animal skins and using stone weapons, advancing to metal equipment a little later in the game. Another thing is the element of stealth – it's not just a personal choice, but very often a necessity, especially when playing on the normal difficulty in the earlier stages of the game, at least until your party has 3 people. Evil Islands didn't really bring anything groundbreaking, but did an awesome job of putting together elements of other games and adding some little things very rarely seen in other games, especially during its time
Operation Flashpoint/Resistance
Developer: Bohemia Interactive (Czech Republic)
Original release: June 22 2001
Platforms: PC, X-Box
Operation Flashpoint was much more than just a first-person shooter, it was a tactical simulator that delivered a very immersive and realistic depiction of war. The sheer fun of shooting tons of Nazis/terrorists is replaced by the thrill of knowing you can get shot dead at any point in time, which tests your tactical skill as much as your aim. It may not be as fast paced or action-packed as Call of Duty, but the feeling of being in a mass battle with both infantry and vehicles present is communicated very accurately through having to follow orders as a grunt and issuing them as an officer. It's very easy to end up dead without even knowing what hit you, which can be very frustrating, but it's how the game keeps you on your toes. The Resistance expansion is much more than new maps, weapons and campaign – it introduces the same simulator elements to guerilla warfare, with heavy emphasis on stashing looted equipment. Needless to say, Operation Flashpoint and its successor Armed Assault are the exact opposite of the mainstream FPSes like Halo and Call of Duty.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat/Clear Sky/Shadow of Chernobyl
Developer: GSC Game World (Ukraine)
Platforms: Windows Original Release: March 20 2007 (Shadow of Chernobyl), August 22 2008 (Clear Sky), October 2 2009 (Call of Pripyat)
If you were disappointed with Bethesda's Fallouts due to too much RPG and not enough FPS, S.T.A.L.K.E.R is definitely a franchise worth checking out. The combination of a post-Chernobyl disaster open world, the survival horror elements (scarce ammo, bleeding after roughly 70% of attacks) and the trade system (where patrolling squads pay much more for ammo and medical supplies) amounts for a very immersive atmosphere. The mutated enemies that Scar (CS), Strelok (SoC) and Major Degtarjev (CoP) fight are every bit as diverse as Chris Redfield and Leon Kennedy's adversaries – in addition to armed zombies and two types of mutated dogs you also have zombies with telepathy (Controllers), dwarves with telekinesis (Burers in CoP) and the iconic cloaking Bloodsuckers that pop out right in front of you and suck the blood right out of your face with their tentacles. Speaking of Chris Redfield, the English voice acting is almost as campy as the original Resident Evil, but here it looks like it was done on purpose to inject some humor when you're not fighting for your life. The original Russian dialogue is much more realistic, especially with the Bandits' liberal use of slang and heavy Ukranian accents. You don't need to be a Russophile to enjoy S.T.A.L.K.E.R – the creativity is very hard to ignore. In fact, the setting was so well thought out that the franchise inspired two novels – S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Southern Comfort and S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Northern Passage, which is ironic because the games themselves were losely based on Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky.
Witcher 2
Developer: CD Projekt RED (Poland)
Platfotm: Windows, Mac, X360
First release: May 17 2011
The most critically and commercially successful title to come out of Eastern Europe in recent times. The game often gets compared to BioWare's titles, which is a huge compliment for a relatively obscure developer like CD Projekt. Every bit of praise is deserved by the polish developer – the game has a combat system which is challenging without being annoying, immersive storytelling, beautiful graphics and of course very liberal use of nudity. The latter is far from the most important factor in what makes a game great, but you just have to admire the courage on CD Projekt's part. The game has received numerous accolades from various gaming publications for its graphics, storytelling and difficulty.

Kernel Development: Linux-next Complete
The new "linux-next" Git tree, which aims to simplify and accelerate kernel development is more or less complete.
The new maintainer, Stephen Rothwell, announced on the Linux Kernel mailing list (lkml) that he has created the new "linux-next" tree. The source code branch is available for immediate use at http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git;a=summary. Developers will also find an overview of the individual sub-trees that have been added. There are 39 branches at present. Rothwell emphasizes that more trees are welcome, even if they are empty.
Rothwell's local builds are available here. The Linux-next maintainer also writes that he was happy to receive notes from other maintainers on cross compilers and working configs. This would make it possible to add further kernel builds.

The University of Minnesota has announced plans to make use of 7,800 acres of open land by creating a utopian community laboratory, with housing for 20,000-30,000 people and an integration of agriculture, commercial space, public transit and open space.
The utopian community plan was presented to university's governing board of regents, though no action was taken on the proposal. The plan includes the use of the most up-to-date technology, such as non-polluting and renewable energy sources, and other environmentally friendly materials and methods.
"Such a community would take 25 to 30 years to develop, Bruininks said. He characterized the plan as a way to further the education mission of the university and create an unparalleled opportunity: to construct a prototype living space designed for the benefit of humankind."
"'I think people will look at this in 30 to 40 years and say this is the most important decision that the university has made,' Regent David Metzen said."

Authorities say two workers have been taken to the hospital after they were rescued from a trench collapse in Rye, New York.
Their conditions were not immediately available.
The Rye Fire Department summoned Con Edison, which used one of its trucks to help the remove debris. The people who were rescued do not work for the utility.
City Manager Frank Culross said the collapse occurred at midday Thursday outside a residence.
He says it appeared construction was going on there.
It wasn't immediately clear whether the house was occupied.

Bombardier expects to resume flight testing of the CRJ1000 shortly after Christmas.
In July the regional jet programme experienced a software glitch associated with the rudder control-by-wire system.
At that time, Bombardier thought it had found the root cause and put a fix in place. Yet, one month later, the airframer experienced another glitch for which it could not determine the root cause, and the CRJ1000 flight test programme - which includes one prototype aircraft and the first production aircraft - was grounded.
After placing some of its most seasoned staffers on the project Bombardier determined the root cause of the software glitch. "We know what it is at this time. It will require further software changes," Bombardier Aerospace president and chief operating officer Guy Hachey said today during the airframer's fiscal third quarter earnings conference call.
Bombardier is currently going through some further simulations to make sure that the next fix is permanent. The CRJ1000 flight test schedule will resume after Christmas "and will have roughly 30% of flying left", says Hachey.
However, certification and first delivery of the new 100-seat regional jet will be delayed until the second half of Bombardier's 2011 fiscal year, the timeframe between August 2010 and January 2011.
Hachey says he is "very disappointed" about the stall to the programme. He says the airframer is working with its two CRJ1000 customers, which "have been very supportive", and that it has been "finding solutions for them".
The order backlog for the CRJ1000 stands at 49 units. Air Nostrum holds firm orders for a total 35 CRJ1000s, while Britair is earmarked for 14 of the type.
The financial penalties associated with the delivery delay is not greatly material but there will be an impact from a cash flow perspective, says Hachey, who notes that the company is not prevented from building aircraft in the fiscal first and second quarter in advance of first delivery.

Things to do in Milwaukee this week
Verily! Go!
'Tis a proper tale for summer and must needs an optimist to tell it properly. The Optimist Theatre company wishes to put on Shakespeare's "The Winter's Tale" this summer. Its performances are free and take place in Kadish Park on the hill above the Milwaukee River. But therein lies the rub. Free performances still cost money to stage. So the merry troupe is holding a fundraiser — "Unsphere the Stars" — Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Turner Hall Ballroom, 1040 N. 4th St. It will offer up a variety show with comic frivolity from Phil Johnson and musical stylings from Janet O'Mahony. Tickets are $35, and the group has a matching challenge grant from BMO Harris Bank. »Read Full Article

Another Ginger installment
Last night I installed a few more goodies.
Here is the KTM EVO Air Filter cover.
This took some modifications by me. It seems the front tabs are too long and cause the cover to flex upwards. Short work for a Rasp file. Sits nice and flat.
Rally Raid Stainless upper tank bolts installed.
Since I'm riding with other 690 riders that refuse to change them out as preventive, I'll carry my old ones with me in the tool bag. Could be worth some serious cash out on the trail
Following the idea of Mr HIX I was able to find a 140mm Grade 8.8 8mm bolt to put in the lower mount.
A pic of the Scotts shark fin installed. Serious protection. Still need to figure something out for the front. I forsee something expensive in my future.
I installed the upgrade fuel pump into the tank. Part of that job included relocating the fuel filter to the outside. Using plenty of hose I was able to put the filter in a location easily accessable for field access on trail.
NO the one clamp is not loose. I started with the small size clamp and went to the larger size on the second. Too much fight to get the small one to fit.
We got the Q-4 mounted up as well.
I'm hoping to get Ginger fired up tonight.
Still not road worthy yet. Due in tomorrow- LED Taillight/fender assembly and mounts for my GPS & Doubletake mirrors.

Good Job, I like it, GLWS
Nice work as always!
You both are truly cool couple
Thanks @saputrad
looking really nice Will it work in Mailchimp?
Thanks for the comment – it's not mail chimp drag and drop (as mentioned in the description) in mail chimp but all email services accept correctly coded email templates.
There is some html bugs. Unclosed
I would love no more details so I can fix any issue, minor or not. If you could shoot me an email or open a ticket with what you found I can throw in a quick update for other folks.
hello, is it possible to send it via thunderbird or outlook ? regards capsule
Hi – no you really can't send email campaigns through those – especially outlook – as they will interject their own code and break email templates. You should use an ESS (email sensing service) such as campaignmonitor.com or mailchimp.com.
Hope that helps!

Of added significance, the Overton-102 die marriage which is easily distinguished by the position of the leaf below the second T in STATES, is nearly on par with the 1796 16 stars as the most conditionally challenging of four pairings utilized for both years. In the Condition Census published in the Early Half Dollar Die Varieties 1794-1836 revision, the top six examples include coins from VG10 to XF45, so this coin handily garners a Condition Census ranking. A tremendous opportunity to obtain one of the most cherished early American silver issues and a particularly fine example of the scarce O-102 variety. Population: 10 in 30, 13 finer (4/03).

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

In 1854 the British Army was committed to its first major war, namely the Crimean War (1853-1856), against a European power since 1815. The expeditionary force, or 'Army of the East', was despatched to Turkey nominally to support the Ottoman Empire in its war with Russia; but in reality to check, in alliance with France and later Sardinia, Russian ambitions for an outlet to the Mediterranean. Despite many failures in the conduct of operations and administration, the war was won in two years and Russian designs on the Balkans and Levant were thwarted for two decades.

Fashion: the cleavage is back upfront
Classy cleavage is back in the shape of the sweetheart neckline. Karen Dacre looks at the fierce new front
Published: 19 August 2013
The fashion world has trouble making up its mind about most things. But nothing leaves it on the fence quite like cleavage does. What is "in" one season — or out, as the case may be — is detested the next. Last winter when the trend for turtle and polo-necks took hold, the opportunity to bare even the slightest bit of one's breasts seemed like an entirely outdated suggestion. Now, with a new season right around the corner, that looks set to change.
Thanks to a renewed focus on erogenous zones including thighs, navels and most importantly the décolletage area, dresses are set to dip low for this autumn.
During the last round of shows this notion of sizzling femininity as explored and emphasised through fashion certainly seemed to be the defining message. In her latest collection for Prada, Miuccia worked with low, sweetheart necklines to create an autumn heroine who was dishevelled but supremely glamorous.
"I wanted to explore impossibilities," said the designer after the show. "There are so many restrictions on women, ideas on what they can and can't do."
On trend: Kate Moss embodies the trend in a zip-front Prada dress Using the female form and this idea of smouldering sexuality as a means of empowerment was also an occupation for Marc Jacobs, who included sweetheart necklines, sweeping low cashmere jumpers and negligées in his latest offering for Louis Vuitton.
Similar silhouettes were explored by Jonathan Saunders and by Frida Gianinni who, in her latest collection for Gucci, relied on an angular plunging V-neck to create shift dresses in magenta and chartreuse.
As a result, a sexually charged sort of elegance is, it seems, all the rage this season. To incorporate this look into your own life, self-confidence is crucial. Baring your figure is something you should make no apologies for but it won't work if you fear it.
The feminine silhouette dominated at Jonathan Saunders AW13 show during London Fashion Week (Picture: Getty) Reacquaint yourself with your décolletage by seeking out sweetheart necklines instead of plunging styles. Not only are they easier to wear, they are also far more flattering for those with bigger bust shapes.
At her Carphone Warehouse event at The Ivy last month, Kate Moss served as a shining example of this trend as she dazzled in a zip-front sweetheart dress from Prada. Other advocates include Victoria Beckham who, despite generating masses of unnecessary headlines, looked spellbinding in the Vuitton silk slip she wore to Wimbledon back in June.
Sweetheart neckline: Prada AW2013 In a day and age when threats of sexual violence towards women seem more prevalent than ever, the suggestion to celebrate the physical form we were given through fashion is undoubtedly a loaded one. We'll wear what we want, when we want. Pity the fools who think otherwise.

Comments about Filtrete® 16"" x 20"" x 1"" Elite Allergen Reduction Filter - 6 Pack:
I have always had a hard time with indoor allergies and my allergist has always recommended a whole house filtration unit. This product has saved me that HUGE investment, as it reduces indoor allergens so well. I have 2 dogs and noticed the positive change immediately after replacing my standard air filter. FANTASTIC PRODUCT for an affordable price! Remember, you will pay more now and PAY LESS LATER when you need less antihistamines to get through the day.
Comments about Filtrete® 16"" x 20"" x 1"" Elite Allergen Reduction Filter - 6 Pack:
I use these filters and they really work! Both of us have allergies and we noticed a big difference in the way we could breathe without coughing or sneezing all the time once we started on this filter. What a difference it made!!! This is the only filter for us!!! Thanks!
