Going to and travelling around in Gangtok
The state of Sikkim and the city of Gangtok is very well connected by Air, Rail and Road. The nearest Rail head is New Jalpaiguri or NJP is about 126 KMs and nearest airport is Bagdogra ( Near Siliguri/ NJP) 125kms. NJP is major or perhaps the largest rail junction in North Bengal or North East. It is very well cnnected with entire North East, Gauhati, Kolkata ( Calcutta), New Delhi, Mumbai, Patna, North India and South India as well. The station is always bustling as trains are arriving in all 24hrs from various directions. In my view travelling by road to Gangtok is the best way to reach the city. There is Helicpoter Service from Bagdogra airport but the timings may not suit you.
Just outside the staition, there is taxi stand for Darjeeling, Panitanki ( Kakarbhita, Nepal), Gangtok, Phuntsoling ( Bhutan), Lava, Lolegaon and various other places. The fare is fixed for all destinations. From NJP to Gangtok the are is Rs150/-( or USD$3 at current exchange rate, really cheap for Westerner) per passenger. It takes about 3.5 hrs to 4.30 hrs to reach Gangtok from NJP depending on the road condition( Please remember driving condition on hills is entirely different from highways). The vehicles are all 10 seater diesel jeeps, they take 10 passengers for a trip. If you want little more comfort you may take the entire front seat ( 2 persons) or back seat ( 4 persons).
In the city of Gangtok for local travelling or sightseeing around you get petrol vans or cars who allow only 4 persons to seat including the driver. The local fare is Rs. 10/- per pax per destination say from Baluakani to M.G.Road a distance of 4kms or you can book the entire vehicle for Rs 40/- ( or USD$1 only!).
For local sight seeing for 7 points or 10 points you get cars for Rs.600/- ( USD$12) to Rs1000/- (USD$20) including journey to Rumtek Monastry and Banjhakhri Falls( both will take about 24+ 15 KMs one way or about 80kms return). Time given about 4-6 hrs or even more! It works out very cheap for Rs.600/- you can travel more than 100kms in hills and use the vehicle for more than 6hrs! The Sikkim drivers are very polite and cooperative as well. ( See pictures)
Travelling by Rail to Gangtok from Kolkata
As mentioned in earlier tips there are many options to go to Gangtok/ Darjeeling from any part of India. But travelling by train is the best and cheapest way. There are many trains going from Kolkata, Howrah Jn and Sealdah Jn. The best train to New Jalpaiguri ( the major junction station at the foot hills of Darjeeling and Sikkim) is Darjeeling Mail but there are other trains as well which are equally good. Darjeeling mail( dep: 2343 UP daily at 22.05 from Sealdah) is always full, so you may take the fully Airconditioned Express GARIB RATH ( dep: Tues, Thurs, Sat 2517 up at 21.40)from Kolkata station ( the latest and third station of Kolkata city).
From Sealdah Uttar Banga Express dep: 3147 UP 19.35on Mon, Wed, & Sat)), Kanchandjonga Express( dep: 5657 06.45hrs) or Kanchan Kanya Express ( dep: 3149UP 19.35 on Tues, Thurs, Fri & Sun), Teesta Torsa Exp ( dep: 3141 UP 13.35hrs)
From Howrah Jn you may take Kamrup Express( dep: 5959 UP daily at 17.35), Saraighat Express ( dep: 2345UP Super Fast 16.00 hrs).
All the trains have the combination of ACII, ACIII, Sleeper Class & AC Chair Car in Kanchendzonga Exp, AC I in Darjeeling Mail & combination of AC II & ACIII in Garib Rath ( full train is Airconditioned).
The Fare is around Rs.25o for sleeper class to Rs.1800 for AC Ist Class. Now tickets are available on line, please log in to: www.irctc.co.in
All the trains arrive at NJP around 03.00 AM to 08.00 AM, there are numerous vehicles waiting just outside NJP station for Gangtok, Darjeeling, Phuntsoling, Mirik, Pelling. You may select one and travel by your choice, either charter the vehicle or take the front seat by paying for two, or the mid one paying for 4 persons.

Return to the Table of Contents
Marianne Moore, one of the most famous American poets of the 20th century, was born in Kirkwood, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. She was raised in Pennsylvania and began writing poetry while studying at Bryn Mawr College. In 1924, she won the Dial Award for her collection Observations (1924) and was hired as an editor at Dial, where she worked until 1929 when the magazine ceased publication. Moore was recognized from her youngest days as a poet of extraordinary talent and received many awards, fellowships, and honorary degrees throughout her life. In 1952, her Collected Poems captured the three major poetry prizes: The National Book Award, The Bollingen Prize, and The Pulitzer Prize.

Toshiba + Ubuntu + Geforce4 420GO = Major Headache
Hi there
I currently run Ubuntu (Dapper - 6.06) Linux on a Toshiba Satellite 2410 with a Geforce4 420GO graphics chip set. I've been having a lot of problems getting the graphics working correctly. For the record, Ubuntu's stock nv driver works fine, without graphics acceleration, and inability to watch movies full screen (flicker lines).
So I went and downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers (previous versions doesn't work, always get API mismatch errors). Uninstalled the restricted-common modules, and installed the 9742 drivers.
What I've found is that the computer starts with a pulsating white border (think Christmas frost :p) against a black screen, it just carries on pulsating, no sound or anything else.
I ended up CTRL-ALT-F1 out of there, executed startx, and it got X up and going (yay!)
Unfortunately, X now has that annoying black bar down the right side of the screen, which I had been able to fix by setting "IgnoreEDID" to true in xorg.conf in the previous version of Ubuntu. This time however, the fix simply doesn't work (tried adding it to the Monitor, Device, Screen sections).
Other things that I have already set or tried are:
1) in /etc/modprobe.d/options, the NVReg softEDID and Mobile options are already set to the correct values. 0 and 2 respectively, I have a non-Compel toshiba.
2) I have tried some of the options suggested in problem section point 7 from here:
It entails adding the following lines to the Screen section:
Option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "TRUE"
Option "ModeValidation" "DFP-0: NoEdidDFPMaxSizeCheck, NoVesaModes"
All that did was shrink my screen to 640x480 size to be surrounded with black borders on all four sides.
I'd be happy with any suggestions regarding this issue.
And if you already have full graphics working on a Toshiba Satellite 2410 with Ubuntu, can you tell me what version of Ubuntu and graphics driver that you are using please.
Thanks in advance.
Re: Toshiba + Ubuntu + Geforce4 420GO = Major Headache
exact same symptoms as previously stated. the only difference is i'm running 6.10. any idea's guys?
Re: Toshiba + Ubuntu + Geforce4 420GO = Major Headache
Thanks for the feedback adam, I had hoped that upgrading to Ubuntu 6.10 would solve this issue. Apparently that's not the case.
Any news is still better than no news.
Re: Toshiba + Ubuntu + Geforce4 420GO = Major Headache
I join the headache too.
I have a Toshiba 2410-603 with a GeForce MX 420 Go... I have installeg Gentoo on my system and I have tried both legacy and regular drivers but the result are very bad...
Now I'm running my system with the nv xorg drivers without the 3D acceleration... Please Help US to see the LIGHT!!!!!!!!!
I don't want to run a hardware art half of his performance!!!
Best regards
Re: Toshiba + Ubuntu + Geforce4 420GO = Major Headache

I forgot to mention that the nvidia drivers (7667 & 7676) which were working on the previous version of the Ubuntu (5.10 Breezy Badger) doesn't on the Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake.
It can't seem to find the necessary files to load glx, or nvidia.
Xorg.0.log attached.
Re: Toshiba + Ubuntu + Geforce4 420GO = Major Headache
since n oone has updated this i assum ethat we are at a standstill.
Re: Toshiba + Ubuntu + Geforce4 420GO = Major Headache
I guess people that have got their laptop working is happily on holiday :p
* bump *
Re: Toshiba + Ubuntu + Geforce4 420GO = Major Headache
I have a similar problem, although I'm using Ubuntu 6.10 and the Driver 1.0-9361. The only thing i additionally found out so far is that you have to use Option "ModeValidation" "DFP-0: NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck" instead of NoEdidDFPMaxSizeCheck, since it's no longer availiable according to the Driver Readme. This should remove the black borders on at least 3 sides (in my case).
My problem history is explained at http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=84773.
Regards, cut.

Dawnridge is the legendary Beverly Hills, California, home of Tony Duquette (1914-1999), one of the 20th century's most prolific and influential designers. We asked contributing editor Paul O'Donnell to talk to its present owner, Hutton Wilkinson, longtime business partner and friend of Duquette. Wilkinson not only preserved the house and garden but managed to transform the estate into an ever-evolving laboratory of ideas.

I wouldn't have noticed this if a reader, Rachel, hadn't pointed it out. Apparently L'Oreal Youth Code is entering the BB Cream realms.
Right now Drugstore.com has L'Oreal Youth Code BB Cream available in a two shades, Light and Medium, for $16.99. Already they have points against them for a lower SPF of 15 but let's not be too quick to judge eh? Sorry, can't help myself, my track record with US drugstore BB Creams has been pretty bad so far.

When it comes to attending an online class, you might think you're home free when it comes to your personal appearance and sweat pants is all you'll need this semester. When you're sitting alone in your living room, no one else will care what you're wearing, right? While that might be, it's important to get ready for class… even if it's at home. Here's how to dress for an online class — and why.
For your first day of online class, you may be tempted to wear your pajamas. As an image professional, I would encourage you to reconsider. By taking the time and effort to shower, get dressed, and put yourself together before class, you're going to take yourself more seriously in class. Why? Because "the way you dress impacts the way you think, the way you feel, the way you act, and the way that others react to you." (Judith Rasband)
Now I'm not suggesting you wear a suit and tie to an online class. Let's be reasonable here! All I'm suggesting is that instead of reaching for your sweat pants and T-shirt the morning of your online class, put on a nice pair of pants and a collared shirt like a polo or button-down. If you opt for a nice pair of jeans and blouse, that's fine, too. When you dress nice, you'll feel better about yourself, your productivity will improve, and you'll subsequently do better in school. Not only will it help you in your studies, but with your career preparation as well. Jeans and T-shirts typically aren't included in corporate dress codes.
Remember, just like you dress up for a phone interview, it's important to put yourself together for class as well.

Written by Robert Spencer
Britain is finished; it is a nation of the walking dead, unless it affects a drastic change in its leadership and prevailing political culture, and soon. (Of course, the same could be said of the U.S.) Here Jack Straw, of all people, asserts that there is a British culture that Muslims must accept, and dares to criticize the imposition of Sharia into British public schools that were the focus of the now-notorious Muslim "Trojan Horse" plot. Straw even ventures to say, no doubt with trembling, timid voice, that some of those values were "Christian based." But when David Cameron says that Britain is a "Christian country," non-Muslims (not Muslims) complain; those non-Muslims will make sure that nothing effective is ever done to stop the assertion of Sharia in British schools and elsewhere.
"Muslim schools 'must respect British values' says Jack Straw as Birmingham MP admits there is a 'Trojan Horse' plot by extremists," by Laura Clark and Chris Pleasance, Daily Mail, April 21:
Schools with large numbers of Muslim pupils must respect British values, former home secretary Jack Straw said yesterday.
He spoke as a Muslim MP said a radical 'Trojan Horse' plot to take over state schools was operating in Birmingham.

This is clearly a gesture of supremacism. Imagine the uproar if a Christian had entered a mosque and begun to read from the New Testament and pray Christian prayers. But no one will take any notice of this. Western authorities take Islamic supremacism for granted. They aren't even aware of the fact that Islam claims all the Biblical prophets, and Jesus as well, as Muslim prophets, and have no knowledge of or interest in the implications of that fact. But those implications will eventually become quite clear to them.

Easter is just an innovation according to Muslims. via France: Muslim unfolds prayer carpet in church and reads Koranic verses during Easter mass | Diversity Macht Frei.
The worshippers present at the scene were dumbfounded. This Sunday morning, in a collegiate church full to bursting, a man wearing a djellaba and headgear came to pray. He laid a carpet to the left of the altar, while the Easter mass was underway.

"In response, the youths of the Wukari communities – were said to have organized themselves – and had reacted to attack a Mosque and burn it down. The youths were reported to join the attack against the Boko Haram jihadists." If that reaches the mainstream media, it will be reported as Christians attacking the mosque out of "Islamophobia," with no mention of the Muslims burning down the church. Note also that "the acting governor" is a "Boko Haram sympathizer."

Information reaching 247ureports.com indicates that another Boko Haram offensive have taken place again – only days after the massacre that took over 200 lives in Nyanya, Abuja federal capital territory.
According to the information, unknown gunmen launched attack at select communities of Wukari local government area in Taraba State. The attack began at about 1:30am on Sunday Easter morning and continued till 3pm Sunday Easter afternoon. The police image maker confirmed to 247ureports.com that the attacks began in the middle of the night in a manner resembling that of Kaura community [Kaduna] attacks by Fulani herdsmen. According to the police, the attacks initially was thought to be Fulani herdsmen but as the attacks progressed, it became obvious that the attackers were most likely Boko Haram jihadists.

In light of the fact that Mohammed Whitaker's father's name is Edward, it is likely that he is a convert to Islam. And he may be yet another convert to Islam who has somehow misunderstood his new, peaceful religion. Whitaker's sniper attacks against drivers on the highway recalls the Beltway jihad sniper attacks of John Allen Muhammad in the Washington area. Still, this may not be jihad. It may be that Mohammed Whitaker is a "right-wing extremist," driven mad by his reading of Whittaker Chambers. If it is a jihad attack, the mainstream media will do its best to cover up and obfuscate that fact, or downplay and ignore it if it is indisputable.

Kidnapping infidels and releasing them for ransom or killing them, as well as enslaving them if that option is deemed most advantageous for the Muslims, is fully sanctioned in Islamic law: "As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, 'When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks' (Qur'an sura 47, verse 4)" — Abu'l-Hasan al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance), trans. by Dr. Asadullah Yate, (London), Ta-Ha Publishers Ltd., 1996, p. 192.

Feminists and others on the Left are usually very good at "outrage," especially when it can be expressed on behalf of what they believe is an oppressed group. Which is why it is both surprising and disappointing that they missed two amazing opportunities recently to be rightly outraged on behalf of women both in America and internationally.
Apparently they didn't see the decision by the University of Michigan to ban the screening of "Honor Diaries," a film featuring women's right's activists from all over the world taking on the issues of forced marriage, child marriage, female genital mutilation, and other forms of "honor" violence. It also appears they were unaware of the decision by Brandeis University to rescind its invite to Ayaan Hirsi Ali—a woman who has committed her life to fighting atrocities happening around the globe to women and young girls—to receive an honorary degree and speak at its commencement in May.

A senior police officer was murdered, his pregnant wife (28) seriously wounded and one of their sons (9) was lightly wounded right before the Passover holiday by Arab terrorists who shot them as they were on their way to the holiday festivities. The deadly attack occurred Monday afternoon on highway 35, west of Hebron.
PM Netanyahu blamed the Palestinian Authority for the attack, saying it is a result of their incitement. Minister Uri Ariel (Bayit Yehudi) said that every terrorist release emboldens the terrorists, and demands the government cancels all future releases, and makes the cancelling of any PA steps at the UN a precondition to continuing any peace talks.
Yesha Council spokesman Yigal Dilmoni told Tazpit News Agency that he links this latest attack directly to the release of terrorists by the Israeli government as part of the peace negotiations with the PA. "The Israeli government is currently engaging the Palestinians in an attempt to get them back to the negotiations table. While we are debating the release of tens of terrorists for no reason, there are those who view this as a sign of weakness: the terror organizations who are trying to resurge and re-enter the dark times during which the citizens of Israel feared to leave their homes. Since the beginning of the latest round of talks with the PA, during which terrorists were released, terrorism has been on the rise. 4 Israelis were murdered during 2013, after which during 2012 there were no negotiations and Israel had no casualties at all. We are at the beginning of 2014 and again the terror is responding to PA incitement and its demand of mass release of terrorists, harming an Israeli family on its way to the Seder. We must not succumb to the reckless demands made by the Palestinians."
Yochai Damary, Head of the Hebron Hills Regional Council in which the attack occurred, pointed out the absurd of the situation, as he views it: "The terrorists executed his attack in broad day light, with no fear. Now the security forces, in an effort to capture the terrorists, are making a house to house search. This is absurd! Our soldiers are risking themselves to catch terrorists who may later be released in the next deal. This ridiculous situation must be stopped. I call on the prime minister and minister of defense not to be satisfied with verbal condemnations and exact a political price for the blood spilled. The terrorists' objective was to take life and the response should be to add life in our region by declaring sovereignty, building and bringing more Israelis. This is the response to such a heinous crime. This response must be immediate and will deter terrorists from such actions in the future. This is our response to terror – to add life"

The Qur'an allows for the owning of sex slaves:
If you fear that you will not act justly towards the orphans, marry such women as seem good to you, two, three, four; but if you fear you will not be equitable, then only one, or what your right hands own; so it is likelier you will not be partial. (Qur'an 4:3)
The verse goes on to say that if a man cannot deal justly with multiple wives, then he should marry only one, or resort to "what your right hands own" — that is, slave girls.
The Qur'an commentator Maulana Bulandshahri explains the wisdom of this practice, and longs for the good old days:
During Jihad (religion war), many men and women become war captives. The Amirul Mu"minin [leader of the believers, or caliph -- an office now vacant] has the choice of distributing them amongst the Mujahidin [warriors of jihad], in which event they will become the property of these Mujahidin. This enslavement is the penalty for disbelief (kufr).
He goes on to explain that this is not ancient history:
None of the injunctions pertaining to slavery have been abrogated in the Shari"ah. The reason that the Muslims of today do not have slaves is because they do not engage in Jihad (religion war). Their wars are fought by the instruction of the disbelievers (kuffar) and are halted by the same felons. The Muslim [sic] have been shackled by such treaties of the disbelievers (kuffar) whereby they cannot enslave anyone in the event of a war. Muslims have been denied a great boon whereby every home could have had a slave. May Allah grant the Muslims the ability to escape the tentacles of the enemy, remain steadfast upon the Din (religion) and engage in Jihad (religion war) according to the injunctions of Shari"ah. Amen!
This is by no means an eccentric or unorthodox view in Islam. The Egyptian Sheikh Abu-Ishaq al-Huwayni declared in May 2011 that "we are in the era of jihad," and that as they waged jihad warfare against infidels, Muslims would take slaves. He clarified what he meant in a subsequent interview:
…Jihad is only between Muslims and infidels"¦.Spoils, slaves, and prisoners are only to be taken in war between Muslims and infidels. Muslims in the past conquered, invaded, and took over countries. This is agreed to by all scholars–there is no disagreement on this from any of them, from the smallest to the largest, on the issue of taking spoils and prisoners. The prisoners and spoils are distributed among the fighters, which includes men, women, children, wealth, and so on.

There is no justification for murder. Wasila Umaru's desperation, however, points up child marriage as the serious human rights abuse that it is.
And it has abundant justification in Islam. As I explained in detail here, few things have stronger attestation in Islamic law than the permissibility of child marriage. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad's favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage. That being the case, Wasila Umaru's fate is one that untold numbers of Muslim girls share. Yet Islamic apologists in the West frequently insist that Aisha was post-pubescent and much older than nine when Muhammad consummated the marriage with her, and the credulous Infidels go back to sleep — while girls suffer in Islamic child marriages all over the world.

One congressman is pushing for a pay hike.
Rep. Jim Moran (D- Virginia) wants Congress to start offering lawmakers a housing stipend. Any lawmaker whose home is further than 50 miles from the Capitol would be eligible for a $25 day stipend when Congress is in session. By Moran's math, that would total $2,800 per lawmaker who accepts the stipend annually.
Moran's argument is the high cost of living in D.C. is hurting less affluent people who want to run for Congress. "Don't we want it to make financial sense for a 30-something physician, district attorney, city council member or small-business owner, who maybe has a new home mortgage, young children, or unpaid student loan debt, to serve in Congress?" he said in a statement.

Within the context of keeping the Syrian jihad alive, it seems there is no end to the attempts of some Islamic clerics to legitimize otherwise forbidden behavior in order to gratify the sexual urges of the jihadis and keep them fighting Syrian president Bashar Assad.
First, there was the now infamous "sex-jihad" fatwa, which holds that any Muslim woman who willingly allows her body to be used by the sexually-deprived jihadis becomes herself a jihadi, if not a "martyr," deserving of all the honor and rewards associated with those titles. (Much has been written about the sex jihad, including videotaped testimonials—and how one teenage girl, after copulating with countless jihadis, got pregnant and contracted aids—even as pro-Syrian war Western entities like Foreign Policy try to deny it.)
Another fatwa permitted the jihadis in Syria to enslave and rape any non-Sunni women—including Alawites (Assad's sect), Christians, Druze, and all Shia—in the context of their status as melk al-yamin or "right hand possessions," per Koran 4:3 (a verse that permits the enslavement and sexual use of conquered "infidel" women).

It is simple common sense that soldiers who are Muslim might be hearing from other Muslims that no non-Sharia government has any legitimacy, and that the U.S. is the enemy of Muslims for waging war in Afghanistan and Iraq, etc. It is simple common sense to try to determine the allegiances and loyalties of Muslim soldiers. But to attempt such a thing would be "Islamophobic," and the need to avoid "Islamophobia" trumps everything.

A jihadi group occupying the Syrian town of Raqqa recently gave Christian minorities living there three choices: 1) convert to Islam, 2) remain Christian but pay tribute and accept third-class subject status, or 3) die by the sword.
According to the BBC, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria issued a directive citing the Islamic concept of "dhimma," [which] requires Christians in the city to pay tax of around half an ounce (14g) of pure gold in exchange for their safety. It says Christians must not make renovations to churches, display crosses or other religious symbols outside churches, ring church bells or pray in public. Christians must not carry arms, and must follow other rules imposed by ISIS (also known as ISIL) on their daily lives. The statement said the group had met Christian representatives and offered them three choices—they could convert to Islam, accept ISIS' conditions, or reject their control and risk being killed. "If they reject, they are subject to being legitimate targets, and nothing will remain between them and ISIS other than the sword," the statement said.

This is not surprising. British authorities are so determined to accommodate Islamic legal and cultural norms that it is perfectly understandable that this man thought that an FGM helpline was designed not to prevent the practice, but to make it available. And if Britain continues to accommodate Sharia, that is exactly what it will become. The prosecutions of those who perform this barbaric operation and ask for it to be done have been long delayed, and ultimately will do nothing to stop it, since it is based on Islamic religious imperatives; they'll only just drive it farther underground. And ultimately, the British authorities will have to choose between their accommodation of Islam and Muslims and their disapproval of this practice. I am fully confident, based on precedent up to now, that they will choose the former.

The burger's the thing here and sometimes they are great & sometimes they are mediocre. Order them medium rare to rare, they do tend to overcook. When it is not too busy & the bugers are not cooked in "over-mass load" they taste better. If the grill is over loaded they taste steamed & it takes away from the great beef taste. The waiters are not rude, they are fine.

After reading multiple times from multiple sources how this was the "best burger in Manhattan" I was excited about coming here. I am not being facetious when I say that I prefer the burgers from fast food places to the burger at the Corner Bistro. It was overdone, and quite frankly, very mediocre. I have a feeling this place is one of those "institutions" that people refuse to hear anything bad about. And the service...wow, talk about subpar. I thought our server was rude because he knew we were from out of town but then I saw him interact with everyone else and it dawned on me that he was simply just a unhappy guy at his work. It WAS busy so I can semi-relate but can't you even manage to conceal your smirk when talking to customers? On the plus side, the beer was cheap and good and it really is kind of a nice bar just to hang out at. But please do not be fooled into thinking this is some kind of wonder-burger, drink a McSorley's, by all means, order the hamburger, just don't expect too much.

By the time your ready to be seated and order your burgers you will have drunken munchies like you wouldn't believe and you barely have time to taste the burger before it's gone, a shame because they are really good.

So I was very excited to go here bc I have heard rave reviews. The place is very dark and dreary looking. I ordered the cheeseburger well done. When it arrived, I took a bite and realized it was medium rare. So I got a new burger and I bit into the well done and it was drier than dry. I should have just stuck with the previous burger. I was also surprised at the paper plates the food came on, no wonder the items are so cheap on the menu. They don't seem to be spending a lot on plates. The music sounded muffled the whole night. The fries were blah. I didn't see anything great about this place.

Deaths for Dec. 5, 2012
Dot C. Austin
Mrs. Doris Jean Crook Austin, 75, of New Salem, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 3, 2012, at Hospice House of Union County. Dot, as she was known to her family and friends, will be remembered for the love, kindness and compassion she showed to others and the way in which she embraced life.
A native North Carolinian, she was born on March 10, 1937, to the late Victor Carl and Annie Belle Yarborough Crook. The 9 th of 11 children, Dot is survived by her sisters Eva Black, Jo Ann Phillips, Sarah Lynn Gerlach and husband Ted and Carlene Courtney and husband Richard, as well as her brother John Crook and wife Rachel. She is gloriously reunited in Heaven with her parents and late siblings Clarence Crook, Ethel Plyler, George Crook and Norman Crook and infant brother Waymon Crook.
Dot is survived by the love of her life and husband of 56 years, William Gerald "Bill" Austin.
Married at the ages of 19 and 20, Dot and Gerald built a life with one another that brought them great happiness and countless joys. Together, they enjoy the adventures of day-to-day life and special moments such as a romantic 25 th anniversary in Hawaii. One of Dot's greatest pleasures was being surrounded by her family including her beloved daughter Christina Austin McDermott and son-in-law Ed McDermott; seven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Dot is also survived by her dearly loved sister-in-law Nadine Austin Hicks and husband Dwight Hicks.
The circle of those who deeply loved Dot extends much further then her immediate family. She was adored by her extended family, including numerous nieces and nephews, and shared a special bond with many treasured and loyal friends, including those in her church family at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church.
Dot was a longtime resident of Charlotte, North Carolina, where she made many close friends. After 43 years of service at AXA/Equitable Life Insurance, Dot retired in 1999, and moved to New Salem, North Carolina where she and Gerald built their dream house on family land. Dot's favorite pastimes expressed her kind and giving nature. She enjoyed spending time in the garden, growing tomatoes, blackberries and other produce which she generously shared with family, friends and neighbors. She loved to cook and nourish others, often bringing an entire car full of delicious dishes to family gatherings. She loved finding treasures in unexpected places and created a beautiful family home with items she had collected over the years. Dot was quick to share a warm smile and her compassionate, genuine spirit with those around her. Her presence will be greatly missed by all those who were fortunate enough to have had her in their lives.
The family will receive friends from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM on Thursday, December 6, 2012, at Davis Funeral Home in Monroe, 1003 East Franklin Street.
A Funeral Service to Celebrate the Life of Dot will be held at 2:00 PM Friday, December 7, 2012, at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, officiated by Reverend John Miller. Interment will follow in the Church Cemetery.

I purchased these 120 hrs ago. They have held up well. I hill climb and ride single track and show no mercy on this bike. I've destroyed two sets of plastic radiator shrouds and the radiators look excellent. I've tried the works connection braces and they broke and bent the radiators on my previous bike.The plastic shrouds do not fit as well, but in my opinion the struggle getting the holes to line up is well worth it.Read All Reviews

Just like the previous reviewer stated, it's odd that these don't sit around the radiators to protect them. They form a space in front of the radiators and protect that way. I wonder how these will hold up on a side impact. I saw someone selling one side on ebay, because he crashed and trashed the other side. Other than that, they seem to be sturdy and line up fairly well. It took me an hour to put it together. The plastic black protectors up front are tricky to install inside the guards: the first took me 15 minutes to figure it out, while the other side went right in. I left out my bottom shroud bolts because they did not line up and seemed to be superfluous.Read All Reviews

Celtics Morning Joe: The New Face Of The Celtics
|Posted by shawn cassidy on July 12, 2013 at 5:00 AM
In the shadows for years. The stage light was slightly missing his feet. Rondo will finally come out of the shadows to see what is ahead of him on the biggest stage possible.Rondo's stage is the main stage. He's become the lone star on a team that has been contending for titles for more than half a decade. Everyone will place their hopes, dreams, and blame on Rondo. Something that Rondo should be accustom to. Rondo since 2010 has been the best player on this team, although Paul Pierce would have something to say about that. The debate is over, Pierce is gone, along with KG. This is Rondo's team to lead, and to mold into something special.
So far things look good for Rondo. Danny has remained committed as much as he can in this day and age. Coach Stevens is flying to Kentucky to support Rondo and his off court programs. Showing up at Rondo's camp speaks volumes to me.
ESPN Boston
"[Meeting Rondo] was great. What an insightful, intelligent, neat person to sit down with," Stevens said during an on-camera interview with WDRB Fox 41 in Louisville. "I've got a chance to meet a lot of his teammates because we were down at the summer league and some guys would come by, so it's been great to meet him and the other teammates. I think it's been a really good situation thus far. It's been a little bit of a whirlwind for me."
Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge has stressed that he has no intentions of trading Rondo this offseason and, asked at Rondo's camp if he desired to have Rondo playing for him next season, Stevens added, "No question. Yeah, absolutely. And he is obviously one of the best point guards in the league and has been one of the best performers over the last ... seven years. He's had a terrific young career and I can't wait to get working with him."
In the seven days since he was formally introduced as the 17th head coach of the Celtics, Stevens has met with nearly all of the returning members of the Celtics' core, including Rondo, Avery Bradley, Jeff Green, Courtney Lee and Brandon Bass. Being around the summer squad also allowed him to meet younger players like Jared Sullinger, Fab Melo, Kelly Olynyk and Colton Iverson, along with roster hopefuls like Phil Pressey.
As Stevens noted, it's certainly been a "whirlwind" first week on the job, but clearly he has accomplished his primary goal of starting to build relationships with his players.
Last week, Stevens stressed his excitement to meet Rondo.
"I can't wait to sit down with him," said Stevens. "Because he's not only a really good basketball player, he's really intelligent, and you can see that in his game. And I think he's got that, not only an intelligence about the way he plays, but also an instinctive ability to see the next play coming. You can see that on both ends of the floor.
"Combine that with a good competitive spirit, and you've really got what he's been, and that's a really, really good player, one of the best players in this league. I can't wait to meet him. I can't wait to spend time with him. I hope that he can feel like, at the end of the day, he's learned a thing or two from me, but I'm guessing I'll learn a lot more from him."
I think Paul and myself have covered Rondo a bit this summer, and it's the way it will be with him being the new face of the franchise. I will say this about Rondo. He may have been dubbed a terror by the media. But if I remember correctly, didn't Paul and Deron Williams get their coaches fired? Who's not able to be coached? Rondo may have had some issues with Doc, and Doc the same with Rondo. At least they were able to address those issues in some manner, even though a report came out that Doc wanted to fight Rondo. With the trade being final today. This is Rondo's big chance, like I have said in the past.

Below is the poem entitled Ode To The Corpsman which was written by poet
Plue. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Thomas Plue
"I want my Mommy.I want my Mommy",
I heard the young man cry.
That's how I made my living.
Watching young men die.
The boy had taken a bullet,
Right around mid-thigh.
It cut through his femoral artery.
Soon he'd bleed out dry.
I took my index finger.
I stuck it in the hole.
I tried to make a tourniquet,
But I couldn't find a pole.
I could feel his lifeblood pulsing.
I just couldn't make it stop.
As the bullets flew around my head,
I could hear the pop,pop,pop.
My rifles butt exploded.
It had taken a direct hit.
I found that I was thanking God.
I'd found my tourniquet.
I prepared the lad for transport,
To take him back to base.
When I turned around he was dead.
He'd taken three rounds in the face.
He was gone, so I moved on,
Amidst the constant cry.
That's how I made my living,
Watching young men die.

The discussion, delivery, and ultimate articulation of the issues was so one sided as to be soooo obvious. Alex Morse clearly was head and shoulders above ALL the other candidates in my humble opinion. Of ALL the candidates, he actually answered ALL the questions asked! Wow, how incredible is that? Secondly, he had a very clear vision of where he would take the City if elected. Although I thought the other candidates said a few interesting things, they lacked passion, they lacked energy, and they all seemed to assume that the position of Mayor was something they were entitled to....
Satellite Campus from UMASS??? MIT???
There is one key component missing from Mayor Pluta's "plans," and this is the committee for redevelopment in south holyoke. The "committee" that was put together met only two times LAST YEAR and has never met again... Is this leadership?
My question to the candidates is about their vision for the future, particularly in the context of bring together our divided city. One need look no further than the differences in the Puerto Rican Day Parade versus the St. Patrick's Day Parade, or simply look at a map of the city to see where the most impoverished sections are. The recent (and botched) search for the Chief of Police is yet another example of how divided the city was on this question (just read the comments on the stories...). Question: Given that the city is divided, and we need to be united as ONE HOLYOKE in order to work towards a more prosperous future together, what are your plans for bringing the city together? What are your SPECIFIC ideas for redevelopment and economic stimulus in South Holyoke, specifically the Flats? What is your plan for the future????
And the new CHief of POlice is on vacation...
The selection of the new police chief is illustrative of Pluta's horrendous decision making. Seriously, you just got on the job and already taking a vacation??? Yeah, you really are motivated. NOT!
Exactly! It doesn't matter if you had planned a vacation last month, last week, or last year. A job is a job and you show your commitment to the job by cancelling the vacation. Seriously, nothing will happen if you postpone your vacation until another time. There were two murders in Holyoke while you were being interviewed! There are more important issues to take care than Disneyland. This entire process was botched from the beginning and this only illustrates the horrendous decision of Pluta.
Congratulations Jim! Looks like your candidate got the job.
Well, Sir, if you can "run circles" around anyone, it appears that the better educated just took all of us for a huge ride. Get it? Yes, they are smarter thieves than we are, and you've just proved my point. What we don't need, if you don't mind my saying, is a set of city leaders that will actually do their jobs. When was the last time you spoke to a politician in Holyoke that was actually busy with the work of the people?
We'll have to wait and see...
But my argument stands: Education is not only important, it is CENTRAL to consider.
Different contexts...
One last comment Sir: the cloud of doubt that you speak of was generated by an incredibly biased article that was published in our regional newspapers. Why not have a Press Conference for both of these candidates and allow them to speak for themselves? Given that there was no PUBLIC input into this process, perhaps the public will have a chance to ask them questions in the court of public opinion???
"You just cannot look at education. I know many book smart people that have no common sense."
I apologize if this sounds inappropriate, but such an idea is the very height of ignorance (a lack of knowledge...). In today's world, EDUCATION is central to ANY important position.
Sir, you need look no further than the people that rule our very lives: from the President of these United States to the movers and shakers on Wall Street, to your Doctors, Dentists, Professors, and Attorney's etc. If you examine their qualifications, they were ALL educated accordingly. And, I'm sorry to say, it also matters WHERE you get educated.
Such was the world that we were both born into, so let us not deny the obvious shall we...
Besides, I think you are missing the entire thesis of this article, which is that the Committee, which is now being made public, is trying to save face in light of a weak applicant pool.
In short, the entire process was flawed from the beginning, and this is the unfortunate cloud that greets whichever candidate is selected...
Just one correction: earlier I stated that you dedicated almost half of the story to discussing ALL of the negative aspects of Mr. Perez, and I was wrong. In fact, you dedicate OVER half (53%) of negative coverage to Mr. Perez while only dedicating 20% of the story to the other candidate--and then ONLY discussing his qualifications...
Wow, this thread is (read sarcasm here) "rich."
Dear Jim,
First and foremost thank you for responding to my query, it is greatly appreciated. I, for one, prefer this sort of discussion instead of the usual mudslinging that has become all too common. You should read the comments on the recent (and senseless) murders...
With respect to the article, we will agree to disagree on this one Jim. As your rightly confess, the story of 566 words dedicated almost half (301 words) to describe the negative details about the case, which leads many a reader to conclude a "guilt by association" of the candidate. It appears, at least from the information that you provided us, that Mr. Perez authorized a subordinate to contact this or that person, which was problematic. In the process, and because he was the Commander, the buck had to stop somewhere and hence the retirement. Is this accurate?
When beginning the first of 301 words dedicated to indicting the candidate in the court of public opinion, you immediately start off that paragraph with a negative association. Notice the first sentence: "Perez, 58, retired in March 2010 from the New York State Police after it became public that he had authorized the commander of then-Gov. David A. Paterson's security detail to contact a woman who had accused Paterson aide David W. Johnson of domestic assault." In short, Mr. Perez retired and it was related to the downfall of a politician and within the realm of "domestic assault." Hmmm...not much about his qualifications if you ask me...
But when describing the other candidate, the first sentence is aglow with positivity and possibility. Note the first sentence: "Neiswanger, 48, of South Windsor, Conn., said his current job in Manchester puts him in charge of the department's budget and grant-writing. Before that he was in charge of the field service division that includes patrol, investigation and juvenile aid functions of the department." In other words, the man knows about budgets and grant writing, etc... His qualifications are in the foreground and his negatives are not mentioned.
I mean, if one chose, you could have simply analyzed their experience and education right? If such were the case, I wonder what kind of story you might extrapolate from those documents?
Personally, I think that the entire process was flawed from the beginning, and this is where the focus of the story should have been. Why all the secrecy behind this process? Who decided on the composition of the committee? Who are these people and what qualifies them to select a Police Chief? Why the consultant, and what were his conclusions? Why does the City of Holyoke constantly spend money on consultants to always state the obvious? In some cases, these consultants just crib the conclusions of the last consultant! What is the relationship between the consultants and those that are authorizing his/her fee?
So, to conclude, it is my opinion that instead of focusing your attention on those that make the decisions, you allowed your personal biases to enter into framing this story.
In this case, it appears that he became the "Fall Guy," as it were. When I was in the military, such forced retirements were forced from above. In most cases, one does not have the option of doing otherwise, especially when the Governor of the state is involved. Seriously, you need look no further than the mainstream media...
If the taxpayers are dwindling, which I believe they are not, the taxes are certainly not. Mine increased this year, but I concede your point. Money is being spent on "CONSULTANTS" when you really don't these people to state the obvious. A well rounded committee composed of the City's community could have produced a better selection of candidates, but the secrecy behind the entire thing speaks more of Pluta's lack of political experience.
From the resumes and cover letters, it is pretty obvious that Mr. Perez is head and shoulders above the other candidate, especially if we just look at their education and experience.
Unfortunately for the new Chief, his tenure will be clouded by the questionable process that was Pluta's selection committee...
If the discussion is going to turn to the "structural conditions" of crime and inner city violence, you can blame that one on the city leaders that have converted downtown Holyoke into their own private welfare fiefdom. It is NOT the fault of the people that live their, but the conditions brought upon by those that own and exploit the monies that emanate from said properties. In the Flats, over 85% of the properties are rented, and probably subsidized by Section 8. Who gets those guaranteed Federal Funds? Who benefits from the cheap rents that are payed on time every month? Its like the Chinese Proverb says, "Society prepares the crime, the criminal commits it."
Interesting that you supposedly left Holyoke for Reno when the crime rate in the latter is ridiculously higher than in the former. See http://www.clrsearch.com/Reno_Demographics/NV/Crime-Rate?compare=01040
This is the FIRST murder of the year. Most cities, if you ever get the chance to escape from Western Massachusetts, are very violent. They record their first murders in the hours after New Years Day.
