मन मेरो फेरी
वालापनलाई यो मनले रोज्दथ्यो,
दुखिरहेको यो मन यस्तो पीडाले
माया गरेर कसैले कसरी रुवाउने थियो ।
पाईहाल्थ्यो माया चाहना मात्रगर्दा,
के को डर रहन्थ्यो कसैको ठुसकाईमा,
तब हरेकले मनलाईनै मुसार्थ्यो,
मायामा कसैले कसरी झुकाउने थियो।
जब आरामको निन्द्रा सुतेको हुन्थे,
तब फेरी सपनामा डराउदथे,

Sonam Gyatso was born in village Kewzing (correct spelling is khto-shing- meaning wheat-field). South Sikkim. In the lap of mighty Kanchenjunga (28,208 ft) in 1923. He started his career as a school teacher and later joined the Indian Air Force. He was recruited as Head Constable in 1949 in the Frontier Constabulary Force when his career took a turn. After completing his first Basic Course at the Himalayan Mountaineering Instituer. Darjeeling in 1954, he was selected for the expedition to Nanda Devi (25.645 ft) in 1957. Although, this expedition was unsuccessful because of worst blizzards, not many mountaineers in the world ever reach even 25,000 feet and the fact that in his very first attempt he reached that height
speaks highly of his skill and stamina. Thereafter he blazed a trial of glory in his great mountaineering career for the next seven years.
Then came the historic climb of Cho Oyu (26,897 ft) in 1958. Pandit Nehru personally congratulated him and gave him a handsome reward. It was a first time an Indian expedition had reached so high.
The first attempt o The first attempt on Everest was made in 1960 which was unsuccessful because of bad weather. However, he could reach upto just 700 feet below the summit. In recognition of this feat, the I.M.F. awarded him its gold medal. He was the first recipient of this honour. The President awarded him Padma Shre. Sikkim made him jigmi Singhi. He was promoted in his service also.
After the unsuccessful first Indian attempt on Mount Everest, the Indian Mountaineering Foundation decided to sponsor three expedition during 1961 to give further experience to those climbers who would be selected for the bigger expedition The peaks selected were Nanda Devi, Nilakantha and Annapurna III. Sonam Gyatso was selected for Annapurna III (24,858 ft) which was said to be remained unclimbed and unexplored so far. Inspite of bad weather and heavy snowfall Sonam Gyatso alongwith his two rope partners Kohli and Girmi went up slowly and painfully inch by inch forward. It was a struggle of human endurance and will power against the elements at their worst. They could finally step on the virgin peak of Annapurna III on May 6th at 4.15 p.m. In congratulating the team, the President of India Said- "May the spirit of adventure and purposeful exploration ever continue to inspire India's youth and the Services, whom you represent, to still greater achievements."
In 1961, three months after the return from the successful ascent of Annapurna III, while other team members were resting, Sonam volunteered to lead another expedition for training and acclimatization of the members of his organization to the southern approaches of Kangchenja West (22.603 ft) in North Sikkim. Under his leadership,, this expedition which was quite difficult also became successful. This peak had not been climbed till then As a mark of respect on the 28th October 1961 all the members were received by the Chogyal of Sikkim.
When in 1962, he again failed in his second attempt on Everest, when just 400 feet short of the summit, everyone lost their hopes. Probably he would not be able to make it again. But Sonam was not despondent. he assured that he would succeed at the attempt. It was only the weather that had beaten him, not the mountain. His faith was irrepressible. He had faith in himself. He had faith in his family. He had faith in his organization, in his government and in his country. He had complete faith in God. Nothing, no calamity ever of the greatest magnitude, could shake that faith. There was a conviction in him that Everest would ultimately be reconciled to him.
|And he was right. He climbed it in 1965 when he was 42, the oldest man ever to have set foot on the top of Everest and stayed their for fifty minutes without oxygen.
|For his outstanding achievements the President of India gave him Padma Bhushan. Sikkim bestownedFor his outstanding achievements the President of India gave him Padma Bhushan. Sikkim bestowed her highest award Pema Dorje on him. He along with other members of the team got the coveted Arjuna Award.
|Sonam Gyatso died on 8th April 1968 in Delhi Hospital due to snow frost bite.
|As deference to his contribution the Sikkim Democratic Front Government under the Leadreship of Dr. Pawan Chamling renamed the old Tibet Road in Gangtok after him as Sonam 'Gyatso Marg'.

How safe is Nepali in India ?
Dear All,
Seventeen Nepalis have lost their lives in Meghalaya and more than 40,000 others have been displaced after tensions mounted between the Nepali and Khasi communities in the north-eastern state of India.
Tensions between the two sides flared a week ago over the long-pending Assam-Meghalaya border dispute. Both the states have laid their claims on Langpi that lies on the border between Assam and Meghalaya. Four Khasis of Meghalaya were killed when police opened fire during a clash between locals of Meghalaya´s and Assam´s border villages. The irate Khasi community had then started attacking the Nepalis in the region in which 17 Nepalis have been killed so far.
The Khasi community has focused its attack on Nepalis in and around Jayanshila Hills, Garo Hills, Lathrumvahi and Nangstin, also known as the coalmine regions of Meghalaya. These places are densely populated by Nepali-speaking community.
Even though, the situation is returning to normal after the Meghalaya government took the Khasi attackers under control, those displaced from Meghalaya haven´t been able to return home.
Nepalis in Assam have given shelter in camps to the displaced.

Nepali literary Criticism in Sikkim-By Indra Bahadur Rai
Nepali literary Criticism in Sikkim
By Indra Bahadur Rai
There has to be a substantial body of literary works for criticism to grow up on. Sikkimese Nepali writing has in the last century, taking for the start Manbir Singh Rasaily's 'Vishwa Brahman Varnan' of 1925, an unobstructed yet snail paced progress till 1940s. Uday Lahari (1877) of Swami Inandil Das and the other many a Lahari and Sawai by composers of the then 'British Sikkim', that was Darjeeling, of course, do not fill the bill as Sikkimese works nor do they fit the snail-ine description. The increasingly hectic Sikkimese decades from 1960 on coincided with a minor burst of publication of literary books and periodicals throwing up in its wake a conglomerative band of talented poets and writers. And, may it be recorded that a concerted early effort to wrest Sikkimese identity in the literary field was evidenced in the publication in 1950 of Indrakeel Puspanjali, a collection of poems from Sikkim. Oneness of Sikkim region and ancient Indrakeel was iterated. Sikkim has all along retained its distinct regionality which at the same time contributed its share to the over all development of Nepali literature and in particular of the Indian Nepali part of it.
Prominent amongst the Sikkimese poets and writers of then near sovereign kingdom were Agam Singh Tamang, Padam Singh Subba, tulsi Bahadur Chetri, Ramdatta Lal Thakur, Santabir Limboo, Chandra Bahadur Subedi, Kripa Shalyan Rai, Padam Lal Chalise, Purushottam Pradhan, Raghu Nanda Subedi, Chandra Narsinha Shakya, Sanoo Lama, Santosh Bardewa, B. S. Rai, Devi Prasad Kaushik, Kedar Gurung, Girmee Sherpa, Tulsiram Kashyap, Ganga Kaptan and a few more.
Sikkimese Nepali Literary criticism began to take shape in the prefaces and forewords of books, editorials of periodicals and critical articles which were scarce to come by. Chandra Das Rai's accout published in 1949 of the founding of the Apatan Sahitya Parishad in Gangtok in 1947, its objectives and activities is an instant in point. Not before long, however, Sikkimese critics took upon themselves the three-fold task of appraising the works and assessing the achievement ofNepali writers, i.e., those who write in Nepali, of (a) Sikkim, (b) India and (c) Nepal too. They are wide awake to their responsibility to the writers of the state but are no less aware of their national and greater obligation. They have here-to-fore, no doubt, acquit themselves creditably. Not out-biddenby the critics but rather leading them to this purport is the fraternity of creative writers who have flung themselves open to the three influent.
Sanoo Bhai Sharma in an essay in Prakriya No. 20 of 1997 has in exercise of sound judgement discussed the validity or propriety of studying works as regional and / or national. He puts it in our mind not to lose sight of the need also to study Sikkimese works as Sikkimese per se. Sikkimese writers wrote in unison with Nepali writers mainly of Darjeeling and Nepal; in the mean while they have steadfastly remained faithful to the regional experiences and aspiration. Jiwan Theeng forthrightly rued the merger of Sikkim in India. Sikkimese critical writing soon came of age. The critics would not confine themselves to examining regional writings but enlarged their ambit to include all Nepali writers, both past and present.
1987 saw the publication of Pratiman, a collection of critical essay ably edited by Prof. Rajendra Bhandari. Well tolerant of all schools of modern criticism, its erudite editorial stress the preferableness of striking out a distinctly Nepali mode of criticism on our own. In the same year was published, Sikkimeli Katha Avalokan a collection of twenty four short stories exclusively by Sikkimese writers. The volume was painstakingly edited by Mohan Prakash Rai. It was a welcome publication in that it brought several able writers to the fore. Tulsiram Kashyap brought outJanmabhumi, the first epic from Sikkim, which was hailed as a major publication by Dr. Ishvar Baral, Prof. Taranath Sharma and Dr. Swamy Prapannacharya, all three of Nepal.
Kedar Gurung, editor of Srashta of 22 years' standing his in his two lengthy articles surveyed the Sikkimese literary scenario. They in the main contain names of and introduction to the books and journals published from Sikkim up till 1978. they serve handy to any student and bibliographer of Sikkimese Literature.
The editors of Journals were equally intent on promoting Sikkimese literary criticism. Gopal Gaonle's labour was conspicuous in the same vein. Prakriya (ed. Bir Bhadra Karkidholi) in its volume o13 of 1974 devoted itself entirely to publishing studies of poets who were living no more. It carried articles on Raghunath Subedi by Sanubhai Sharma, Chandra Bahadur Subedi by Kedar Gurung, Bhawani Shankar Sharma by Ram Apatan, Rabin Gurung by D. Kumar Pariyar and also Indra Kumar Sarit amongst others. The studies are in essence appreciative of the contents of their works. Chandra Das Rai wrote on Jiwan Theeng emphasizing on the adoption of correct politico-historical viewpoint while studying the poet.
One is forced to take note of the critics in Rajendra Bhandari and Radha Krishna Sharma even in the not too many prefaces and forewords they have penned, as Bhandari's in Raj K. Shrestha's poetry collection, Yatrakram and the latter's in Sanoo Lama's story collection Mrigatrishna. Sharma tends to be descriptive and Bhandari, analytic.
We cannot but treat here with attention Pawan Chamling 'Kiran', an important poet endowed with critical acumen. An ardent student of modern literature as he is, his prefaces and many speeches on literary occasions abound in learned and perceptive discernment. A study of Dr. Harka Bahadur Chetri's poetic output which runs to three separate volumes deservedly finds a place in our book shelves.
Mahananda Poudyal's Bicharan Apnai Chitijma (1997) makes an interesting and delightful reading. The essays deal with topics relating to Nepali language, literature and largely Nepali littérateurs. One is agreeably rewarded by the many information the author imparts and the many observations he makes that we come across during the course of reading the book.
Dr. Ghanashyam Nepal is one of the foremost Nepali critics. He has brought out so far four important treatises: Akhyanka Kura (1987) Nepali Sahityao Parichayatmak Itihas (1991), Sailivignan (1992) and Roop Ra Rekhaharu (1996). In the first he has analyzed the essential nature of modern fictions. The second is the case wherein he has endeavored to mark out a fresh perodisation of the historical development of Nepali literature. The thirds expounds the stylistical way of uncovering the linguistic devices of uncovering the linguistic devices of expressive value in liteary works. Nepal, however, stands for a judicious combining of the Linguistic and the classical procedures. He has directed his critical gaze on Sikkimese Arjun Niraula and Jiwan Theeng but Nepali writes of India and Nepal are very much within his ken.
Dr. Shanti Chettri's first critical wrok (1988) revolved round the need to re-examine the female characters of Bhanubhakta's Ramayana and this to bring about a gender – integritywise an evenly balanced society. Her second work (1992) dwells on the life and works of the renowned critic Ramakrishna Sharma. It is a compendium of the more just of the many opinions expressed about Sharma's works and the many opinions expressed about Sharma's works and the author's summing up of these in estimation.
Dr. Shova Kanti Thegian published her ambitious doctoral thesis in 1992 that comprehensively surveyed the Nepali critical arena. Her grasp is masterly. She has, without resorting to vehemence, set aside many of the critical cob-webs. She pleads for a holistic approach in criticism, embracing both the western and eastern tenets too.
The turning years of the new century proved to be remarkably fruitful for the publication of two volumes by Sikkimese critics on two Sikkimese writers, T. B. Chandra Subba produced on the life and works of Kedar Gurung and Biju Prasaw published the other volume on Jiwan Theeng who had been daily bestowed the honorific of the 'Poet of the Sikkimese Soil'. Chandra's book did honour and justice long due to a prominent personality in the Sikkimese literary sphere. The indefatigable T. B. had just two years previously edited and published a beautiful volume on Aruna Lama, the Princess of Nepalese Melody.
Lest we forget, let's hasten up to insert somewhere above a line on Shiva Pradhan. He has some six bulky volumes to his credit, adding up the edited and the original written ones. He keeps a vigilant watch over the forward or onward movement of Nepali language and literature. And a line on Pempa Tamang too. With his conversance in literary theories, we believe, he is getting on for an outstanding practicing critic.
This short and not at any rate depth fathoming as this review is, I hope, bids fair to be a true account of a high Sikkimes task well begun to be carried on.

It's been rumoured that 2013 will bring a brand new Britney.
A US magazine has reported that, "Britney Spears is rolling in the new year with a new look… planning a full-body over-hall which will include a strict diet and exercise program along with extensive cosmetic surgery to her body and face,"
It's believed that Britney will include procedures such as eyelid surgery, brow lift, liposuction and neck-lift.
These procedures are often chosen by women trying to maintain a youthful appearance or to enhance their features as they naturally age.
Frown lines and furrowed brows, for instance, can make a person appear angry, while drooping eyelids and excess forehead skin could indicate tiredness or aging.
And it seems British women are taking a cue from their State-side sisters as the British Association for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (BAAPS) reports that brow lifts are up 4% in the UK.
The Hospital Group believes how you look affects how you feel about yourself. Plastic Surgery helps thousands of men and women to achieve their desired appearance.
If you would like to learn more regarding cosmetic surgery then why not book a free, no obligation consultation with a GMC registered cosmetic surgeon and dedicated patient care co-coordinator.
Whether you are looking for breast enlargement, buttock lift, liposuction, abdominoplasty, face lift or any other cosmetic procedures, The Hospital Group's team of surgeons are dedicated to aesthetic surgery and carry out thousands of procedures dedicated to improving your appearance.

Unfortunately for us Americans, the US teams didn't put on much of a showing -- they dropped out quick, and WoM reports that their behavior after the losses was less than classy. They apparently blamed a teammate for dropping out, and it doesn't help that, unlike the Korean teams who have played the same classes and characters for a long time, the Americans apparently came up with their teams and tactics only recently. Looks like they'll have to do a little reforming and rebuilding before this year's BlizzCon.
Congrats to all the teams who walked away with victories in the ESL's Arena tournament. Even from Ming's commentary, it sounds like it was an exciting few days for Arena players.

Everyone is welcome to either of our Sunday Services of worship at 11am or 5.00pm.
Our services are simple and meaningful. They usually include hymns, Bible readings, prayer and a sermon. The idea being that we come to worship God and hear what He has to say to us through His Word.
We fully appreciate that 'going to church' is not a very common practice in today's secular society. With this in mind, you will find us very 'user friendly'.
However, there is a wonderful promise from God's Son, the Lord Jesus, to those who are prepared to attend to what God has to say to us:
"If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John's Gospel chapter 8 verses 31-32).

Robert Reich talks sense on the car bailout:
GM just announced it was laying of 21,000 more of its workers, as a means of assurring the Treasury Department the company is worthy of more bailout money. A Treasury official was quoted as saying approvingly that the goal is a "slimmed-down" GM.
What? Having General Motors or Chrysler cut tens of thousands of jobs in order to be eligible for a government bailout reminds me of "saving" Vietnam by bombing it to smithereens. Aren't we giving these companies billions of taxpayer dollars to save jobs? If not, we're just transferring money from taxpayers to GM and Chrysler bondholders and shareholders.
I agree with those who say the United States needs an auto industry. But there's no point spending tens of billions of taxpayer dollars for an auto industry that's a tiny fragment of what it was before. We could achieve that objective by doing nothing.
Well, that's right. But the object here is a grand experiment in union-statism, or whatever you want to call the alliance between the Obama administration and the new management at Chrysler, and likely GM, — which is the UAW. (Gives "union bosses" a whole new meaning.)
This is likely to be extremely unpopular with the voters who don't like bailouts one bit. But we'll also see the grand experiment plays out before our eyes. A company with fewer employees run for and by unions with a huge taxpayer subsidy. — wow! If you didn't know better you'd think Big Labor's political influence trumps all other considerations in this administration.

CHANDLER, Ariz. – Senior midfielder Emma Erler (New Hampton, N.H.) and junior back Megan Bozek (Cortlandt Manor, N.Y.) of the 20th-ranked University of New Hampshire field hockey team were named to the 2012 Longstreth/NFHCA Division I Northeast Region First Team, the National Field Hockey Coaches Association announced Thursday. Junior midfielder Casey Pohlmeyer (Millersville, Md.) and sophomore midfielder Kellie Joyce (South Pomfret, Vt.) were Second Team selections.
Erler and Bozek, both of whom were 2012 America East All-Conference First Team and All-Academic Team selections, advance to the ballot for the 2012 Longstreth/NFHCA Division I All-America Team, which will be announced Nov. 20.
Erler started all 20 games, recorded three goals and six assists for 12 points to rank third on the team in assists. The captain had a team-best four-game assist streak spanning Aug. 31 to Sept. 14 in which she tallied a total of five assists. Her season highlights included a one-goal, two-assist effort at Brown University (Aug. 31) in which she tied her personal bests in both assists and points (four). Erler was an integral part of UNH's success on the offensive penalty corner unit as the insert, and she was also a member of the defensive penalty corner unit. Earlier this month, she was selected to compete in the prestigious NFHCA Senior Game.
Bozek, whose other 2012 accolades included America East Defensive Player of the Year, recorded 10 goals and four assists for 24 points to rank second on the team in both goals and points. Bozek also finished with a team-best four defensive saves, which led America East and is eighth best in the country. In other statistics, she ranked sixth in the conference in goals per game and eighth in points per game.
Bozek, named to the Northeast Region Second Team a year ago, tallied two goals and two assists for six points in five America East conference games; with those numbers, she ranked third in assists per game and sixth in points per game. Overall, Bozek recorded a point in 13 of 20 games and that included a goal in the semifinal vs. Fairfield University and an assist in the title tilt against University at Albany.
Pohlmeyer is another America East All-Conference First Team honoree in 2012 who also started all 20 games. She recorded five goals and nine assists for 19 points, and both the assist and point totals are personal single-season bests. She led UNH in assists and shots, and ranked fourth in points. In America East, Pohlmeyer ranked third in assists per game and sixth in shots per game. In five conference games, she recorded two goals and three assists for seven points, which put her atop the leaderboard in assists per game, fourth in points per game and 10th in goals per game as well as fifth in shots per game. In two postseason games, she recorded two points with a goal in the America East championship game vs. Albany.
Joyce, an All-Conference Second Team selection, started all 20 games and recorded five goals and seven assists for 17 points – all three totals exceeded lat year's rookie totals (2-3-7). The midfielder tied for the Wildcats' lead in game-winning goals with three, including one in the regular-season finale at Dartmouth, and ranked second in assists; Joyce's other rankings include fourth in goals and fifth in points, as well as third in shots. In America East, she ranked fifth in assists per game.
New Hampshire won the America East regular-season title for the third consecutive year and advanced to the conference championship game for the third time in as many years in 2012. The Wildcats finished the year 12-8 overall with a 5-0 record in America East.

Men's erotica finds a home on the Kindle
September 30, 2010 | 7:15 am
By Chris Meadows
It was only a matter of time until mainstream journalists noticed.
Slate has a probably-not-completely-safe-for-work piece that looks at the rise in popularity of erotica and pornography delivered by e-book reader. Although women-oriented romance novels have been e-book bestsellers since well before most people even cared about e-books, the article looks at what might be a new breed: racy e-books aimed at men.
Though I won't paste in the description, out of deference to people who may be reading this at work, a novel called Office Slave is tailor-made to appeal to the fantasies of a primarily masculine audience.
Presumably, some small percentage of women might be attracted to this material. But much can be adduced from reader comments, such as, "I don't see how any woman could enjoy this … just seems like every man's fantasy." There's no point in dancing around it: Amazon is distributing men's erotic fiction, and its bargain-basement Kindle pricing—in many cases, this material, too, is given away for free—means that some of it shows up on "best-seller" lists.
Even though just a few paragraphs earlier it pointed out the racy nature of many female-oriented titles, the article calls "the marriage of porn and e-reader […] relatively new" since most of the male-oriented ones have been added to the Kindle within the last 18 months.
I would quibble a bit that this is anything new, however. Outside of e-books, there has been just as much men's-fantasy fiction as there has women's. The difference is that the men's books have been primarily action-adventure stuff with often-quite-racy sex scenes thrown in. The Nick Carter spy novels are a notable example, as well as series like Mack Bolan, Deathlands, etc.
And those who like Office Slave would probably also have enjoyed Jon Norman's infamous Chronicles of Gor. More recently, military SF writer John Ringo has made a foray into men's erotica, prompting cries of "Oh John Ringo no!"
As for e-books, well, I don't know whether e-rotica and romance shops like the long-lived Hard Shell Word Factory carry or carried any stuff aimed at men. But even without it, people have been writing free fetish fiction on the Internet for as long as there's been an Internet. It just hasn't been as visible as when people started selling it for the Kindle.
As Slate notes, non-pictorial porn for men is "probably a niche taste", but the beauty of the Internet is that it makes it much easier to serve everyone in the world who has that taste from one spot. For instance, there are now entire digital communities built around all sorts of weird fetishes (often featuring web fiction written by the holders of those fetishes) that could never have existed before the Internet—all the people who secretly harbored those fetishes could never have dared say so openly to anyone else. A "niche taste" that encompasses even one tenth of a percent of six billion people will still have a potential market of millions of readers.
The Slate piece also points out that a big advantage of e-readers is that you don't have to be seen going to an adult entertainment store to buy the stuff, and nobody can tell that you're reading it either. And for authors, it's certainly hard to deny the appeal of selling directly through Amazon and getting 70% of the cover price. As has been noted countless times before, sex sells.
And in a way it gives Amazon another advantage over Apple, given the family-safe (or "prudish" depending on your point of view) nature of Apple's store. If Kindle becomes the go-to e-book platform for textual porn, those are more sales to Kindle that Apple doesn't get. But on the other hand, the more of this stuff Amazon peddles, the greater the chance that it will pop up on the radar of the sort of conservative or religious groups that organize boycotts.

E-books from your desktop to your Kindle: The good ole Calibre e-mail method, revisited with GMX
The main problem with this genre being available for Kindle is that there are no filters on Amazon accounts. If your child or teen has a Kindle, they have an account and can download whatever they want, especially since a lot of this type of thing has been free.
Families can share an account, but that means that Mom and Dad's racy ebooks are just as available as any other ebook on their account. You can' pick and choose what to share.
Without reading the article, because I'm at work in the middle of the library floor, I can guess why this "Even though just a few paragraphs earlier it pointed out the racy nature of many female-oriented titles, the article calls "the marriage of porn and e-reader […] relatively new" since most of the male-oriented ones have been added to the Kindle within the last 18 months." would be perfectly logical and reasonable.
If women do it, it doesn't matter. If men do it it'd important and we should pay attention to it.
But I might be cynical.
A pretty sexist article imho allied with current inappropriate use of the term 'porn' and subjective opinions on whether men or women are the targets. In my experience many women I have known lap up erotica of both the romance and the explicit styles, and the barrier to reading more is exactly what is mentioned here, the acquiring of it. The eReader is now breaking down this barrier and I can see this great tradition of writing growing in size significantly.
As regards parents – parents need to control what they give their children, now as in the past. Children should not have ANY accounts on the internet no matter who it is. Parents need to do the buying and not rely on web businesses to do what parents have the responsibility to do.

(WCMH) A newly released report states Cleveland kidnapper Ariel Castro may not have died from suicide, but rather from auto-erotic asphyxiation.
The report also finds two prison guards had falsified their logs documenting their observation of Castro on the day he died.
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction's report states when Castro was found on September 3rd, his pants and underwear were pulled down to his ankles.
The report suggests the 53-year-old may have died from auto-erotic asphyxiation, when people gain sexual satisfaction by briefly choking themselves into unconsciousness.
No suicide note was left and the report states officials could not find a tendency toward suicide following quote "multiple levels of assessment."

Played 3 times this weekend, and with my recent grip changes, I hit the ball better than I have in 2 years with my driver and irons. I couldn't score though because I struggled so much from 80 yards and in. Every time I put a 56 or 60 degree wedge in my hand, I would blade it 20 yards over the green. For me, that's the most aggravating shot you can hit.
Where do I start here to figure out the issue? Wedge length, bounce? It didn't happen when I was hitting like an 8 or 9 iron. Really just with my wedges.

Paying Attention to How We Live
Luke 12:16-21
One day we'll give an account of ourselves to the Lord (Rom. 14:12). We must, then, pay attention to how we live.
The rich man in Luke 16:19-31 made the tragic choice of living for himself without regard for the Lord. He also made two other mistakes.
First, he invested everything for himself and nothing for the life to come. When we are blinded by our own desires and personal satisfaction, it is easy to become lukewarm about spiritual matters. We forget that this life is not all there is. Scripture tells us to store up treasures in heaven, not on earth. Where our treasure is reflects where our heart is (Matt. 6:19-21).
The rich man's other mistake was to prepare everything for himself and nothing for others. Crumbs falling from his table (v. 21) were the only form of assistance he gave a poor man named Lazarus. The one who had much wealth did not share it with the one who had little. Jesus explained what our priorities should be to love the Lord wholeheartedly and to love our neighbor as ourselves (Luke 10:27).
We see the rich man's mistakes repeated in another parable. This time a wealthy man builds bigger barns to store crops so he will have plenty for the future. God calls him a fool for such shortsightedness (Luke 12:20).
The Bible repeatedly warns us to pay attention to spiritual matters—the Lord is to have first place in our lives and be the center of our affections. He urges us to store up heavenly treasure by caring for the lost and hurting people around us. On whom is your attention focused?

Transfagarasan – world's most spectacular and dangerous road?
Have you ever heard of Transfagarasan or do you know where it is located? Well, Transfagarasan is the only accessible road that crosses Romania's highest mountains (Carpathians) and connects Wallachia and Transylvania – two of country's main regions.
Transfagarasan features a two lane roadway that stretches over a length of 92 km and reaching the altitude of 2042 meters at one point. Because of the countless switchbacks, a car's average speed is usually less than 40 kilometers per hour. The entire route features 27 bridges and viaducts as well as an 887-meter long tunnel which crosses Mount Paltinul between Goat at Balea Lake. Tunnel's ventilation is natural due to extremely strong air drafts encountered at that altitude and the underground road has a six meter wide trafficway as well as one meter wide sidewalk.
Landscape and attractions: Those who want to "venture" Transfagarasan, are advised to do it from south to north. Romania's most famous road starts in Arefu (Arges county) and ends in Cartisoara (Sibiu County). The scenery is magnificent and the level differences and countless coils are considered a challenge for both car and driver. Unfortunately, due to harsh weather conditions, Transfagarasan is only open for a few months a year, i.e. from July to October.
The main tourist attractions along the route are: Vidraru Dam which is one of the largest in Europe, then Poenari Castle built during the reign of Vlad the Impaler, glacial lake Balea and Balea waterfall.
Winterpark- a challenging accommodation: The number of tourists has increased significantly in recent years due to the Winter Park project that was developed at Transfagarasan's top spot. Before 2006 you could see nobody at the 2040 m altitude where the entire surroundings were deserted, however in the last six years the area began to be accessed by more and more tourists. The reason for this phenomenon relies on a famous an ice hotel built near Balea Lake. The hotel is the only of its kind in Eastern Europe and is flanked by other ice structures such as a church and an ice rink.
If you intend to stay overnight at the renowed ice hotel, then you should not not imagine that you will sprawl on chairs dressed in bathrobe as you do in a regular hotel, but instead try to stuff your luggage with thickest clothes, hats, scarves and gloves which are extremely demanding!
World's Most Dangerous Road: In September 2009, the producers of the famed BBC auto show Top Gear, chose Transfagarasan for filming an episode as part of a promotional world tour series.
The show's three creators –Jeremy Clarckson, Richard Hammond and James May – drove their bolides (Lamborghini, Ferrari and Aston Martin). After facing more than 800 tight turns along the 92 kilometers, the British showmen concluded that Transfagarasan can easily compete as the most dangerous and fascinating road in the world.

A fine Lee Dong-Gook volley set Korea Republic on their way to victory over managerless Côte d'Ivoire in an international friendly at London's Loftus Road.
The Asian side are ranked 31 places below the Africans in the latest FIFA rankings but were lively throughout and deserved the win which was sealed by Kwak Tae-Hwi's late header. Didier Drogba came close on several occasions for Les Elephants, whose attentions will now turn to securing the temporary services of Guus Hiddink.
The Elephants were being coached by Kouadio Georges after the sacking of Vahid Halihodzic last month and he handed starts to Chelsea striker Drogba, Arsenal defender Emmanuel Eboue and Portsmouth forward Aruna Dindane. Korea Republic were captained by Manchester United winger Park Ji-sung and he was joined in the starting line-up by Bolton forward Lee Chung-Yong and Celtic midfielder Ki Sung-Yong.
Both sides were hoping to learn something ahead of this year's FIFA World Cup™ finals, with Korea Republic due to come up Nigeria, and Côte d'Ivoire drawn in the same group as Korea DPR. The Ivorians are also due to play Brazil and Portugal and could be managed by former Chelsea and Korea Republic coach Hiddink, who has been linked with the vacancy.
Korea Republic were backed by some fanatical support who made a racket throughout and they went ahead in the fourth minute. A free-kick from Cha Du-Ri on the right wing was not headed clear by Cheik Tiote and the ball dropped invitingly for Lee Dong-Gook at the far post.
The Jeonbuk Hyundai forward still had work to do but demonstrated fabulous technique as he allowed the ball to drop before volleying it powerfully into the top corner past a helpless Boubacar Barry. Les Elephants were quick to respond however and bossed the next 20 minutes.
Drogba hit a free-kick tamely into the wall before Dindane nearly wriggled free inside the area only to be denied by a fine covering tackle. Bakari Kone was showing nice touches in the middle and a goal looked certain to come for the Africans but it was Korea who came close to a second in the 26th minute.
Park burst clear down the left of the area and picked out Lee Dong-gook in the middle but his shot was smothered by an excellent block from Souleman Bamba. Barry had to be at full stretch to claw out a cross as the Koreans counter-attacked well at the start of the second half before Park came within inches of a second on the hour mark.
Substitute Ahn Jung-Hwan and Ki Sung-Yong combined well as they stretched the Ivorian defence to play in Park on the left and the United man saw his curler drift a yard wide of the far post with Barry beaten. Both sides made changes as the friendly petered out before Kwak headed in Kim Jae-sung's free-kick in stoppage time.
The 2002 FIFA World Cup semi-finalists face Argentina, Nigeria and Greece in South Africa, and coach Huh Jung-Moo is adamant his side's preparations are going to plan perfectly. "This game was excellent practice for us before the World Cup," he said.
"We have to play Nigeria and while their style is not exactly the same, Ivory Coast are another African team and it was important for us to go up against a team like that before we go to South Africa. Of course it will be tough for us in the World Cup but we have confidence that we can perform and are looking forward to the challenge."

You have hurt me and we havent even journeyed a mile yet

l Should have listened to the advise of three wise men
Blinded by love l made myself a victim again
It just cant stop the cycle goes on and on
l gave you my all willing to take the risk
You had become a part of me

Icelandair Group is considering two options for Icelandair's future fleet, notably whether to move away from its uniform Boeing 757 operations.
In its second-quarter financial disclosure, the company says it will make a decision on the fleet composition "in the near future".
Icelandair and its cargo division will either retain a single 757 fleet until 2022, it says, or move to a mixed fleet of 757s and smaller aircraft.
The flag-carrier has 16 757s, including a single -300, while Icelandair Cargo has four.
Icelandair Group says the type has served the airlines "extremely well, as if they had been tailored to the company's business model".
It has not indicated which smaller types are under review but states that its analysis involves co-operation with Airbus and Boeing, while other manufacturers are "also being monitored".

text: The Azusa Nakano wiki last edited by OrangeSponge on 03/27/13 06:39AM View full history OverviewAzusa Nakano is second-year student at Sakura High, and a member of the Light Music Club. Azusa has the distinction of being the first underclassman to join the Light Music Club (Keionbu), she is later joined by Ui Hirasawa and Jun Suzuki after the original members graduate. Azusa is a talented guitarist, while she claims to be a beginner, she has been playing since she was in fourth-grade. Both her parents are in a Jazz Band, although never seen on screen, because of this Azusa often enjoys visiting jazz clubs.Azusa at first was unsure about joining the Light Music Club, and originally showed interest in joining the Jazz Appreciation Club but was hesitant against joining beacause "It didn't quite seem the same as real jazz." Azusa finally decided to join the Light Music Club after Ui brings her to there live performance at the school festival. After joining she is shocked to find how lazy they are, as the rest of the Light Music Club often slack off to eat Mugi's cake and biscuits, and to drink tea. As such she often expects more of the club than the other members are prepared to give.On the first day after joining club she was forced to wear cat ears by Sawako, and was given the nickname Azu-nyan by Yui, even though she finds it embarrassing. Azusa looks up to Yui, she shows this by calling Yui, Yui-senpai. Although Yui, and the rest of the club memebers, are surpised at how telanted Azusa is on the guitar. Yui is threaten by Azusa's skill although later on in the seires Azusa ends up teaching Yui some of the basics of playing a guitar. After Azusa joins the club she becomes the bands rhythm guitarist. Both the opening and closing songs, 'Cagayake!GIRLS' and 'Don't Say "Lazy"' repectively, where changed to include Azusa's rhythm parts.Azusa is easly sun-burnt, even when wearing sunblock.Azusa Nakano is voiced by Ayana Taketatsu in the original Japanese dub, and Christine Marie Cabanos in the English dub.K-ON!

Proposed Oregon Nickel Mine Fails To Secure Key Permit By editor • Oct 1, 2014 ASHLAND, Ore. -- It's difficult to use water when there's no water flowing. Or so discovered a UK-based mining company this week when Oregon regulators denied one of the many permits required before development of a nickel mine can get underway in Southern Oregon. The Red Flat Nickel Corporation wants to use water from a creek in the Kalmiopsis Roadless Area in Southwest Oregon for exploratory drilling. It proposed to siphon off 10 gallons per minute from a small creek.

Oregon Nickel Mine Proposal Runs Into Stiff Opposition By Liam Moriarty • Jul 17, 2014 ASHLAND, Ore. -- A Britain-based company is making preliminary moves that could lead to a 4,000-acre open-pit nickel mine being established in the headwaters of the Smith and Illinois Rivers in southwest Oregon. The firm says it's at the beginning of a long process of evaluating whether such a mine would even pencil out. But opponents in Oregon and California are taking no chances. They're going all-out to kill it in the cradle. Barbara Ullian minces no words. "The best time to stop a mine is before it starts," she says.

Silver Boom Brings Historic Sunshine Mine Back Online By Jessica Robinson • Jan 28, 2013 The high price of silver is bringing one of the Northwest's oldest silver mines back online. The Sunshine Mine in north Idaho is known for one of the worst mining disasters in the nation's history. It will resume production in late 2014. The new owner, Sunshine Silver Mines Corp., bought the mine after the previous owner went bankrupt. It happened just in time for silver prices to hit $30 an ounce, and mostly stayed there. The company expects to hire 250 miners once production begins.

BTW... in response to the last comment made, I too am happy to sign my name to what I said. I would also be happy to help out in any way possible to those who were involved in the lawsuit - individuals or attorney's. Justice has not been served here! - Carrie Graf.
I think this is ludicrous. All she gets fined is $1,000???? I had been a patient of Dr. Roswicks and when he retired and sold the practice to Dr. Reddy, I continued on with her. After 2 1/2 years and about $6,000 worth of work (that's AFTER my insurance paid her for work), I finally left her office. The last straw was when she put a crown on my canine/eye tooth and I repeatedly told her it did not fit right. It was not pushed in far enough and it stuck out too far (towards my lip). She kept telling me that it would get better as the swelling went down. So, after 6 times of asking her to fix it, she served us papers stating that we had not paid her for work done. We were on a payment plan because she told me I had to have 3 or 4 root canals and crowns all at once. We were paying the agreed upon amount the entire time... we did miss one payment, but I made it up the next month. So, she served us papers and we had to pay them for work that was done wrong or not completed. We then changed doctors and I thank God every day that we did! The past 3 years have been nothing but fixing problems that she caused. 3 re-root canals to fix her inadaquate work. Not only did they need to fix her work, but they also found a number of instruments left in my roots. One instrument I can see, but not 2 in one tooth and 2 more in 2 seperate teeth. This is un-excusable! I have spent atleast $8,000 out of pocket just correcting her mistakes. The crown in question has not yet been replaced - insurance will only pay for crowns every 5 years. So, i've had to suffer with this for 5 years now. Not only is it annoying, but my current dentist says it's dangerous because of the air gap that could cause major decay problems. Did I mention that I had to have bone removed because of infection caused from her and also I had a re-root canal performed along with an apicoectomy that later led to an extraction because of her poor work. So, now i'm awaiting an implant and crown - out of pocket for that work will be about $3,000. So, how on Earth is a $1,000 fine justifiable???? Dr. Reddy - you complain about this ruining your reputation??? How dare you! You ruined so much more and you don't even feel bad about it! You should have your license revoked and never be able to practice dentistry again! How dare you say how bad this has been for you - you don't have the right to complain about what your faulty work has done to yourself! You should be ashamed!!!

Solano County Fire Burns 1,000 Acres
A wildfire has burned 1,000 acres southeast of Fairfield.
Daniel Berlant with Cal Fire says the state has sent six engines and two air tankers to help with the fire fight.
"This fire has been fanned by very strong north winds," he says. "These winds we've been seeing for the last day or so in the Sacramento Valley as well as the Bay Area. These winds are expected to continue through this weekend elevating our fire danger."
Berlant says the fire is 50 percent contained.
The fire started a little after one o'clock Friday afternoon south of Highway 12.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

The Supreme Court today ruled that vaccine companies cannot be sued for design defects, handing the pharmaceutical industry a victory and making it more difficult to bring cases against vaccine manufacturers for allegedly causing autism.
A 1986 law established a federal system for compensating patients injured by "unavoidable" side effects after being given a vaccine. The law aimed to make collecting damages for children injured by vaccines easier and faster by giving the Health and Human Services Department the authority to hear the cases and hand out compensation, funded by an excise tax on pharmaceutical companies making vaccines. President Obama's fiscal 2012 budget estimated the vaccine fund would have $3 billion. The fund has paid out over $2.5 billion since its inception.
A ruling that allowed suits against the vaccine producers for a "design defect" might have opened up the pharmaceutical industry to thousands of cases alleging that vaccines caused autism in children.
The case heard by the Supreme Court, brought by Russell and Robalee Bruesewitz, alleged that their daughter Hannah was disabled by a diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP) vaccine she received as an infant in 1992 manufactured by Lederle Laboratories, now owned by Pfizer Inc.'s Wyeth unit. After the family was denied compensation in the federal vaccine court in 1995, they filed the suit that ultimately reached the Supreme Court, charging that the defective design of the vaccine caused their daughter's disabilities and that the company could be held liable for negligent design under Pennsylvania law.
The court ruled 6-2 to uphold the ruling of the 3rd Circuit appellate court, finding that the federal law preempts all "design-defect claims" made against vaccine manufacturers. Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, said the statute only holds manufacturers liable for proper manufacturing and labeling, not for the actual design of the drug.
"Provided that there was proper manufacture and warning, any remaining side effects, including those resulting from design defects, are deemed to have been unavoidable. State-law design-defect claims are therefore preempted," wrote Scalia.
Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissented, saying the decision creates a "regulatory vacuum" where vaccine manufacturers are not required to "adequately take account of scientific and technological advancements when designing or distributing their products." Justice Elena Kagan recused herself because she had worked on the case for the Justice Department.
Pfizer Executive Vice President and General Counsel Amy Schulman welcomed the decision.
"The Vaccine Act that Congress enacted nearly 25 years ago appropriately places the responsibility for determining the optimal design of life-saving childhood vaccines in the hands of expert federal agencies, not a patchwork of state tort systems," said Schulman. "We are pleased that the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the ruling of the 3rd Circuit."
But Valerie Nannery, a litigation counsel at the Center for Constitutional Litigation, said the decision holds vaccine makers to a lesser standard for accountability.
"We are disappointed because the tort system is there to hold pharmaceutical companies accountable for vaccine design," said Nannery. "Now these companies don't have to defend themselves in court for drug design."

Taylor had outpatient surgery on his shoulder today and I wanted to make him the ultimate comfort food that wouldn't bother his stomach after anesthesia… so when we returned home, I made him this easy Chicken and Dumplings recipe.
Whether you call it chicken and dumplings or chicken and pastry, one thing remains: it's some good stuff. I was actually going to make chicken noodle soup, but changed my mind and thought that I'd make chicken and dumplings at the last minute.
This was one of my first recipes on the blog, and my original photos needed a LOT of improving.
We all have to start somewhere, right?
There's always room for improvement, but you'll see in my original recipe post just how much improvement I needed.
So when the Chicken and Dumplings were cooked (and Taylor was still passed out on the couch from anesthesia), I rushed a bowl of this good stuff to my little room where I take all of my food pictures. You can see I have my background boards and foam boards stacked in the background, and I have my makeshift "table" set up by a window for natural light.
It works and I am so thankful to have a designated area where I can photograph food and store all of my food photography "stuff".
I hope you enjoy this simple recipe as much as I have over the years. Click the following link to view the original post and print the recipe: >>Easy Chicken & Dumplings

Benefits for the region
Posted: March 26, 2014|
THE Cabinet Office has listed the Chancellor's Budget announcements most likely to affect businesses and households in the South West.
For businesses:
Every business in the South West will benefit from the capping of the carbon price support rate. Particularly energy-intensive industries will also benefit from compensation for higher energy costs caused by government energy policy. They include DS Paper Ltd, Glatfelter Lydney Ltd, Higher Kings Mill Ltd, Hollingsworth & Vose Co Ltd, Sapa Profiles UK Ltd.
Nine CHP plants in the South West are likely to benefit from Government support announced in the Budget. They include Plymouth medical equipment manufacturer BD (Becton, Dickinson and Co).
The business energy package in total will be worth at least £339million in the South West.
Announced at last year's Budget and starting this April, the new Employment Allowance will offer £2,000 cash to up to 117,000 employers in the South West.
Businesses in the South West will also benefit from the doubling of the annual investment allowance to £500,000 until the end of 2015.
£20million Regional Air Connectivity Fund will encourage airlines to start flying new routes from regional airports to increase connectivity and boost local economies, includes Exeter and Newquay airports.
For households/families:
243,000 people in the South West will be taken out of income tax altogether when the Personal Allowance rises to £10,000 this April, and another 29,000 will come out of tax when the allowance rises again to £10,500, as announced in this year's Budget. It means 2,210,000 people will see an average real-terms gain of £61.
Apprenticeships Grant for Employers (AGE) will be expanded in 2014-15 and extended to 2015-16. This will build on 4,650 apprenticeship grant payments up to July 2013.

Court Holds State Does Not Need To Produce Abused Child Or Expert Witness Testimony To Establish That Children In Child Pornography Images Were Real
MADISON - The Wisconsin Court of Appeals today affirmed the Washington County conviction of Jason Van Buren on charges of possession of child pornography, sexual assault of a child, and exposing a child to harmful material. Adopting arguments made by the Wisconsin Department of Justice, the Court of Appeals held that the State is not required in child pornography prosecutions to produce the abused child or to provide expert witness testimony to establish that a child depicted in a pornographic photograph is a real child rather than a computer-generated image.
Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, whose office handled the appeal, praised the Court's decision. "The Court's opinion recognizes that juries are fully capable of distinguishing between real and virtual images of children," Van Hollen said. "The decision means that child pornography prosecutions in Wisconsin will not require the State to produce the abused child for trial and force him or her to recount the exploitation that was digitally recorded. It also means that child pornography prosecutions will not be burdened by the unnecessary expense of hiring an expert witness in cases in which there is no reason to believe that the abused children are anything but real."
During an investigation by West Bend police into reports that Van Buren had an inappropriate relationship with an eleven year old girl, Van Buren admitted that he had ten sexual encounters with the girl, at least four of which included sexual intercourse. A search of Van Buren's computer determined that it contained over 51,000 images of child pornography. At trial, Van Buren recanted his confession to having sexually assaulted the girl.
Van Buren argued on appeal that because the United States Supreme Court's 2002 decision in Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition limits child pornography prosecutions to images of real children, the State was required at trial to produce evidence beyond the pictures themselves that the children depicted in the pictures were real children rather than computer-generated images. The Court of Appeals rejected that argument, noting that courts in other jurisdictions have held almost without exception that expert testimony is not necessary to prove that the children are real. "In this case," the Court held, "the jury was handed pictures that look, for all the world, like photographs of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct." The jury was entitled, therefore, to draw the inference "that the pictures were photographs of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct."
The State of Wisconsin was represented in the Court of Appeals by Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Kassel. The Washington County District Attorney's office prosecuted the case at the trial level, with Holly L. Bunch representing the State.

Hi guys. My buddy and me have just returned to Rift after a year long break and we are looking for a new guild to call home. Since it has been so long since we played last, we decided to reroll (tank and healer) so it will be a bit before we are end game ready. We do have lots of end game experience in other games, just not in Rift so much. We are preferably looking for a guild that is freindly, more on the mature/older side (we are old timers ourselves), and that does both PvE and PvP. Not really looking for a "hardcore" guild necissarily, but an active one that likes to have fun. Small to medium size guild is perfered, large is okay too but we are trying to avoid having to deal with 100 kids in guild chat and their varying levels of adolecent testosterone (not to sound rude, but kids will be kids no doubt). If anyone has any interest in picking up a couple old geezers for their guild please let me know. Thanks!

By 2015, more U.S. Internet users will access the Internet through mobile devices than through PCs or other wired devices, according to a new report from International Data Corporation (IDC). "Forget what we have taken for granted on how consumers use the Internet," said Karsten Weide, IDC's research vice president, Media and Entertainment, said in a release. "Soon, more users will access the Web using mobile devices than using PCs, and it's going to make the Internet a very different place."
The New Media Market Model also finds:
- Worldwide, the total number of Internet user will grow from 2 billion in 2010 to 2.7 billion in 2015, when 40% of the world's population will have access to its vast resources.
- Global B2C ecommerce spending will grow from $708 billion in 2010 to $1,285 billion in 2015 at a CAGR of 12.7%.
- Worldwide online advertising will increase from $70 billion in 2010 to $138 billion in 2015, with its share of total advertising across all media growing from 11.9% to 17.8%.
"As smartphones begin to outsell simpler feature phones, and as media tablet sales explode, the number of mobile Internet users will grow by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.6% between 2010 and 2015."
