UnBooks:Stairway To Heaven
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Before the beginning, when they didn't even want to know about heaven, and long before there was a manmade event that sent so many souls to heaven that people had to finally talk about it, the weapon of choice was poop. Humans learned about this weapon from their closest cousins, the chimpanzees. Chimps would throw poop like their life depended on it, as it often did: leopards. You didn't want to mess with a leopard then and you don't want to now. Chimps knew that, and they discovered early on that poop would knock a leopard on its back and then chase it off quicker than they could say "eekekeeeeeekeee oo oo oo oo". It was a grand time to be alive.
As the milleniums flew by like dragonflies at cruising speed, neanderthals and two or three other human gene pools would gather around the campfires and swap stories. Throwing poop was one of the main topics of discussion, and for good reason. Leopards.
This went on for so long, and the sun and moon went around so many times, that nobody bothered to keep count anymore. Stone age tools evolved everywhere as rocks were shaped into knives and arrowheads, grain mashers and hammers, drills and ceremonial artwork. The best crafted rocks took opening night crowds on some swell neurological journeys, and good stone workmanship found so many uses that people thought rocks were the most important thing in the world. The ancient neanderthal axiom "Sticks and stones..." was the motto of the time. Although stone warfare was bloody and stone hatchets ruled, still not that many people died - at least not enough to bring up the topic of heaven. Because just the threat of being cut deep by a sharp rock was enough to keep the guys separated into their own plots of jungle, prairie, or grassy knoll. There were plenty wide-open nature spaces around then, along with enough caves and granite to keep everyone happy and swapping stories.
Stones were all that was new for a long time. For lots of moons and lots of suns. And aside from rudimentary standoffs and jumping up and down, people got along with each other as long as they kept their distance. Then agriculture reared its ugly head.
Agriculture tied homosapiens and neanderthals to one land area and created a lot of tension, and now everyone worried about how they were going to protect it. Women were there too.
Next, plumbing just had to make an entrance, or else. Even so, for lots of sunmoons liquidy chaos and insect borne disease played skin-the-tail-on-the-monkey with the human race, and heaven was a one-stop-away black-tie affair for many of our ancestors. But they did get plumbing, and with that it seems that all of the ingredients were in place for something so audacious that it would launch the balloon transporting souls straight out to heaven and beyond.
Nobody knows exactly how it happened, the exact timeline, or the name of the mad-stone age scientist who likely ate some mushrooms and thought it up, but a new discovery looks to be the deep fertilized historical roots of going to heaven.
The Stairway To Heaven turns out to be a ride on a shit cannon. This amazing fact was dug up recently by a team of archeologists in the remote sands of the Sahara desert (which, by the way, blooms every few thousand years because of the vast reserve of water underneath it - where the reserve pops-up above sand, that's what nomads and camels call an oasis!). The stone-age tablet instruction sheet which came with the cannon describes it as a leopard fighting device powered by some kind of alien engine. And as the Stairway To Heaven.
The aptly named Stairway consists of a toilet atop what seems to be a crude stone cannon, and was the first major advance on the efficiency of poop throwing monkeys. First used by sapiens and neos to sling poop at leopards, and powered by some kind of Chinese stong-age explosive, at some point a bolt of genius (those pesky mushrooms again) hit an ambitious sapien, and he aimed the shit cannon at a group of his fellows. This friendly-fire instantly revolutionized what arms dealers call "projectile weapons", and gave rise to the use and popularity of sticking-other-things-in-there and throwing them at people.
War would never be safe again.
Ergo, the Stairway To Heaven.

Does your kitchen feel cramped? Installers say concealing appliances inside pieces of furniture can make the kitchen more spacious.
If you're preparing for a holiday or other event that requires a lot of home-cooking, take time in the weeks before the event to ensure that your major appliances are operating efficiently and will be able to handle the job. Here are five tips.
What's the secret to keeping your appliances alive and running over the ages? "Use your appliances regularly and read your manual," says one appliance repair expert.
Angie's Answers
Personal opinion but I will not buy another front load washing machine again. They simply do not clean clothes as well as the old agitator style washers do. In the summer when I am hot and sweaty I have to wash shirts at least twice, sometimes up to four times to get the stink out. Also, while they may save water per load washed, they run a lot longer. My old washing machine took about 20 minutes to wash a load of clothes. The front loader takes about an hour. What it saves on water it more than makes up for in electricity I'm sure running three times as long. Our front loader has not leaked but it doesn't do the job for my clothes. Maybe someone sitting in an office all day has fewer problems having to rewash clothes.
As for appliance brand recommendations I have no particular favorites. They all seem to be disposable these days, often costing as much to repair as to replace. Samsung has made some good appliances as of late I've heard a lot of good reviews about from customers. I've got a customer who bought a Kenmore refrigerator when they built the house. The ice maker has gone out and the replacement part isn't any better since it's a known defect according to the appliance repairman they had look at it. It was just past the warranty so they didn't pay for another part to be installed that was going to fail again. Since Kenmore is made by other companies I'm sure they aren't the only one with this problem. We live in a disposable society. I look at how well it works, the warranty and cost and weigh the last two of those after kicking out the ones with bad reviews on that model.

Depends a lot on your current configuration. Rough numbers, $4-7,000 for the generator including autostart and automatic load transfer circuit box and master breakers (usually all come on the generator).
Installation (with pad already inplace and gas hookup - about $500-1000.
Electrical about $800 minimum, to maybe $2500. The $800 will get you a simple transfer switch installation but if you want some household circuits to run on the generator but others not, depending on how your current wiring is run, can run to $2000 to pull existing circuits to a new panel.
The problem is that all circuits that are going to be on the generator, unless you are planning to carry the entire household load, have to go to a separate circuit breaker panel which is fed off the automatic transfer switch, so they get power from either the power company or the generator, depending on which is providing power at the moment. That means the circuits running off either source have to be disconnected from your current breaker box, extended (commonly) over to the new box, and hooked up. All other circuits stay on your current breaker box, to run only off the public power when it is on. If the generator is large enough capactiy for your entire house load of course it costs more, but this circuit termination point moving is not needed, so electrical work drops way off to basically a connection box with the transfer switch.
A couple of words of advice - pay attention to weather protection, fire barrier between the unit and the house (including issues of overhead decks that can catch fire), automatic fire shutoff/suppression, and trickle charging from house power to generator battery. Also read CAREFULLY your power comopany rules on generator installation (commonly requires their signoff), any code restrictions on generators and noise in your area, and if your insurance rate will go up. (It definitely does if you have a fuel tank, I don't know if it does with natural gas-fired generators.)
Welcome to the world of Google ! Google this search phrase - dual fuel downdraft convection oven range
You will find a number of brands that make dual-fuel ranges with convection oven - Jenn-air of course, and GE, Bosch, Kitchenaid, Maytag, LG, Samsung, Wolf, Frigidaire, Thermador, Viking all sellin the US. Almost all major brands make this a dual-fuel convection oven range - find model(s) you like, then start checking with local vendors to see who sells them locally - the big home improvement box stores and Sears, Best Buy for starts.
However, the bad news - according to an article I found, only Jenn-Air still makes downdraft stovetops, although I did find one blog notation about a person buying a European Viking with downdraft. Basically the fan capability in downdraft ranges is just not enough to capture the odors and grease and steam coming off a cooktop, so the other brands all dripped it and recommend an over-stove powered vent hood. Most downdraft units had about a 1/10HP fan that pulled about 300 cfm - the same as a modern bathroom fan,, when to actually cause a reverse (downward) airflow over a range requires more like 1000 cfm or more causing a downward airflow of about 10-20 mph - which would make for a little private windstorm around your stove. People also found they did not like the reduced oven size to accomodate the fan unit.
Thermador and Dacor and probably others make behind the range vent units that stick up a foot or two and pull some of the fumes from the rangetop, though reviews say their performance is iffy and basically only affects the rear burners.
My recommendation - go with an overhead vent hood and eliminate the greasy buildup and high humidity in the kitchen that go with downdraft ranges - you will also pay about half a much as for a Jenn-Air downdraft unit.

End of a long ride; sports editor enjoyed time in Rocklin, Lincoln
By: Russ Edmondson The Placer Herald/The Lincoln News Messenger
After more than eight years, I am leaving my position as sports editor of The Placer Herald and The Lincoln News Messenger. This has not been an easy decision, as I have loved my time in both communities. I have taken another job but I will always have very fond memories of my days in Rocklin and Lincoln. I have worked with so many great people here at Gold Country Media and I have witnessed so many positive changes. When I started here in May 2002, fresh out of college, the Rocklin and Lincoln papers were not even online. Now everything we do is on the web. The Placer Herald editorial department shared one phone line back then and the Lincoln office was so small that it was a major situation each time the front door opened. Both offices have since been moved to larger buildings and the papers are in the hands of great editors (Lauren Gibbs in Rocklin and Carol Feineman in Lincoln). My memories here will stay with me forever. • Interviewing local kids, both boys and girls, in tears following tough losses and covering local teams in state championships. • Interviewing former Rocklin High boys basketball coach Steve Taylor following a tough defeat at Sacramento High – his face actually purple with emotion as he loudly explained his thoughts on the game in a hallway next to his team's locker room. • Watching that same coach linger around the back hallways of Arco Arena long after his team lost in the state finals – he simply didn't want a magical season to end. And he knew that leaving the arena meant it was all over. • Seeing former Lincoln High basketball star Keenan Hale get his face slammed on the court after a very hard foul – then having a smiling and bloody Hale show me two holes in his upper lip as I interviewed him after the game. Some of his teeth had pushed through his lip after he bounced off the court. • Interviewing former Rocklin basketball player Lindsay Hayward, all 6-foot-9 of her, and having her pour her heart out to me. About exactly what it felt like to be "a light bulb in a dark room" wherever she was because of her size. About feeling as though she lived her life under a microscope and that others were just waiting for her to make mistakes. About having classmates throw things at her simply because of her height. So many kids, coaches and parents were so honest with me over the years – trusting me to not misconstrue their message in print. And I'd like to take this opportunity to thank them. My job would have been a lot more difficult if those in the Rocklin and Lincoln communities hadn't been so willing to share their tales with me. There was a Rocklin High steroid scandal several years ago – this story put plenty of pressure on me in regards to what to include in the stories and what to leave out. Separating rumor from fact. Trying to avoid the use of anonymous sources. Another tough topic was when Lincoln High girls soccer coach Jason Treanor took over for longtime coach Frank Banuelos – the latter feeling that he was being forced out. I was getting emotional opinions from all sides – including both coaches. My voicemail and e-mail inbox flooded with information and thoughts from readers all over Lincoln. In the end, I only tried to separate the rumors from the truth. I loved watching the Lincoln community rally around last season's 11-1 Zebras' football team. And seeing how many Rocklin fans made the trip to Carson to root on the Thunder in last year's state bowl football game. I have been impressed by how many exceptional athletes have come through this area and I'll keep my eye on Rocklin and Lincoln sports in the future, even as I move on to other things. Thanks for reading. Russ Edmondson can be reached at email@example.com.

It came with everything I needed to get started pumping right away, and I have been very successful using it. The pump has plenty of suction and is very adjustable. Cleaning the parts is simple enough and it is easy to use. The bag that it came with is also really high quality compared to others I have seen.
Even though $300 is a lot of money, you get so much more with this pump compared to the others I looked at, which made the difference for me.
Very Highly Recommended. (Posted on 2/24/2010)
- A Good Investment Review by Allyson Cantfield
Price Quality Value
The pump itself seems to be pretty tough, and it has lots of suction. I like the ability to adjust the speed and suction levels independently, it gives you a bunch of different pumping methods.
The bag and accessories are a nice complement to the pump. Everything fits well inside the bag, and the larger size horns came in handy. The smaller ones that are the standard size worked alright, but I decided to try using the next size up and it ended up working out better for me.
The only thing I do not like about this pump is the noise the pump makes, which isn't too loud, but it could be quieter.
If you are looking for a pump that comes with everything you need, the Purely Yours Ultra is a good choice. (Posted on 12/4/2009)

After local strawberry farmers struggled with late and damaged crops due to cold weather and a virus from Canada, finally some farmers say their fields are almost ready for picking.
Farmers at Strawberries on 903 in Winterville say their fields will be in full bloom next week. This winter they had to protect their crops from 18 frosts compared to the usual 3-4.
"We've had some really nice weather the last 10 days and we've had a crop that's just exploded on us. There is a lot of potential out there. When people see the blooms and the ripe berries we're having, next week we should really be getting into it," said farmer Mike Skinner
Strawberry season typically lasts 6 weeks, but can last longer if temperatures stay below 90 degrees.

He attended the University of Evansville in Indiana, studying theater management, with an eye on honing business and management as well as dramatic skills, smartly, as a back-up plan. It was on a fateful day during a heatwave in 1995 that McBrayer and some friends decided to duck into Chicago's famous Second City theater, as much for the air conditioning as for the improv show itself.

Your daily media round up of all the key stories affecting local government
Social care costs
More than four out of five care home operators have put up prices for those who pay for their own care, because of council cuts, according to research by the Labour Party.
The Daily Telegraph says middle-class people are "being charged up to £12,000 a year extra to subsidise the cost of those who receive free care" while The Guardian says nine out of 10 providers believed pressure from low council fees would "polarise" the industry so that more care homes would be opened in wealthier areas of the country where pensioners would pay for their own care.
David Rogers (Lib Dem), chairman of the Local Government Association's community wellbeing board, told The Guardian: "There isn't enough money in the system and it needs urgent reform. Councils don't want care homes to go out of business, they need places where older residents can be well cared for."
Welfare cuts
Discussing the chancellor's proposal to cut a further £10bn of welfare spending, Institute for Fiscal Studies director Paul Johnson told BBC Radio Four's Today programme that nearly all of the welfare cuts during the last two years had hit those of working age, with pensioners - including 500,000 in the higher wealth bracket - broadly protected. Centre for Social Justice managing director Christian Guy said provisions such as free bus passes needed to be up for consideration if savings needed to be made.
Meanwhile The Independent reports on Office for National Statistics figures which show British pensioners are among Europe's poorest, with more than two million older people at risk of poverty. The paper says the UK is ranked fourth out of 27 European countries, behind only Cyprus, Bulgaria and Spain.
An investigation has been launched after separate reports into two 'inadequate' London borough schools contained a number of identical phrases. The National Association of Head Teachers raised the alarm and accused Ofsted inspectors of "cutting and pasting" sentences from different reports, The Times report.
Public health
Further deaths cannot be ruled out after the number of cases of Legionnaires' disease in Edinburgh rose by 10 to 61, The Independent reports. Cooling towers suspected to be the source of the outbreak have been chemically treated a second time.
The Bank of England's monetary policy makers have decided against a further cut to the base interest rate and will not extend quantitative easing following better than expected growth in the services sector, reports The Financial Times.
Special advisors to ministers could come under greater scrutiny and be required to report to departmental permanent secretaries, The Times reports. The paper says the move by cabinet secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood is in reaction to a number of incidents, including Eric Pickles' special adviser's open criticism of the head of the Electoral Commission last year and the more recent resignation of culture secretary Jeremy Hunt's adviser over his dealings with News Corporation.

This is an outline of several gowen file types and the common cards found within it. These threads are essentially an updated version of Harvests threads. These aim to make it easier for newer players to see what works well together and hopefully allow them to make their own exciting files. I'd like to thank The Circle - especially NitroDino who basically wrote this up by himself. Special Thanks once again to harvest4god who inspired these threads. I will try to keep these updated.
Note that I am defining 'rush' files as Lv 1-3 files, Mids as files which use at least 1 Lv 4-6 unit and Bigs as files which usually use at least 1 Lv 7-9 unit for simplicity.

Coming Soon
Low Level / Rush Files
Most Pixies have unique open skills and some of them lock a good part of all cards. The main goal of the file is to lock key cards of your opponent while swarming the field with your fairies. To master this file it requires a lot of skill and knowledge about the game.
Key Cards:
Faerie Heroine / Mitzett *** - the tribe buffer on open and start
Pixy Greatswordswoman * - really important because it locks cyclone
Archer Pixy * - locks cyclone too and annoying big cards like Allind or Zu
Common Cards:
Pixy Assassin ** - open damage
Pixy Healer * - protects your low HP pixies from open damage and if timed correctly with Archer and Greatsword can keep Cyclone useless, in some variants she is used to raise Gowen levels to use Bringer late game
Fairy Knight / Torte *** - the tank of the file and can be a really good damage dealer
Pixy Dual Wielder * - free reviver and can one shoot many things
Mage Pixy ** - locks character on open
other pixies
Fairy Dance ** - similar use to Healer

Wainwright, Wilbon & Wivalries
1.) What does the loss of Cards' Wainwright mean for the Cubs?
2.) Cubs vs. Cards ranks where in sports Top 100 rivalries?
3.) Where exactly is Catalina Island?
4.) Michael Wilbon on why Cubs should pursue Pujols.
1.) The early indications of Wainwright's injury is ligament damage which could result in season-ending surgery.
If, in fact, this is the case, the Cardinals' rotation would presumably be Chris Carpenter, Kyle Loshe, Jamie Garcia, Jake Westbrook and Wainwright's replacement. But there's no filling the void of a 29-year old stud this late in the offseason. Terrible news for St. Louis, great news for Cubs fans.

Burnt Sienna is a warm, mid-brown color formed by burning the yellow-brown limonite clay called Raw Sienna. It ranges from semi-opaque to semi-transparent due to the combination of its opaque, red-brown mass tone and its transparent, orangey undertone. It is an excellent mixing complement for blues and greens and creates salmon or peach colored tints when mixed with white. It can be useful for subduing bright colors and does not get chalky in dark mixtures.
Burnt Sienna has good permanence and is considered one of the most versatile of the permanent pigments.
Burnt Sienna has no significant hazards.
Burnt Sienna has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times, but its current name came about during the Renaissance. It comes from the city of Siena, in Italy, and is short for terra di Siena, meaning earth of Siena. Sienna was famous for the mining and production of earth pigments from the Renaissance until World War II. Due to the depletion of clay deposits in Tuscany, Italian siennas now come from other areas, including Sicily and Sardinia.

(Denver-AP) -- Southern Colorado will get part of a $4.4 million federal grant given to the state to recruit teachers from non-teaching fields.
The University of Southern Colorado is one of three programs that will use the money to recruit and train new teachers from such fields as the telecommunications and engineering industries.
Colorado's grant is part of nearly $35 million to be given this year under the Education Department's Transition to Teaching program.
The funds will help head off a shortage of teachers in critical subjects such as math, science, foreign languages, English as a second language, reading and special education.
Those shortages are likely to worsen as student enrollments increase and teachers retire.

(Written by Elle Yi) Head lice are parasitic insects called Pediculus humanus capitis. They are small and wingless parasitic insects that are found in human hairs. Outbreaks of head lice are most common in school-aged children. The insect spends its entire life on human hair and feeds exclusively on blood.
In order for them to survive and thrive, they need just 2 things; warmth and tiny amounts of blood from the head. When they bite, their saliva leaves small deposits that can cause an allergic reaction on the surface of the scalp of head. This reaction appears as small raised and reddish areas of head skin that become extremely itchy. [Read more…]

BW082: Clash of the Connoisseurs!
this wiki
Episode Plot
After winning the Freeze Badge from Brycen, Ash and co. head to the location of the final Gym in Unova, Opelucid City. When Ash and co. are about to leave the Pokemon Center behind, Nurse Joy stopped them and gave Ash the bad news is that the Gym there is closed so he'll have to go somewhere else. Just then Ash and co. are abducted by a butler who asks for Cilan a favor: to find the right partner Pokémon for Mr. Hattori's cute little daughter Marigold (emphasis on cute and little). Before they arrive to Mr. Hattori's place, they've met Burgundy again right outside the gate entrance and explaining that Mr. Hattori only allows an A-Class Connoisseur to enter since Cilan was only A-Class and he's allowed to enter but not a C-Class Connoiseuse like Burgundy anyway for tough luck like herself. Cilan's was but one opinion, the other is to another A-Class Connoiseur named Ricard Nouveau, who has a Pokémon Cilan dreads most: A Purrloin. Which opinion of these two is more correct, and will Cilan get over whatever happened between him and Purrloin? Yes. And with the Opelucid Gym closed, where will Ash go for his final badge? The final gym that Mr. Hattori's butler recommends him to go is Virbank City which is further down the canal.
- Petilil
- Whimsicott
- The title of the episode is a parody of the 1981 film of "Clash of the Titans"
- This marks the second time Cilan was still have his fear of a Purrloin. First was BW046: Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky? when they encounter a Purrloin once that belongs to a trainer name Misha while traveling to Nimbasa City with their new traveling companion Meowth.
- This is the second time an image picture of another pokemon appears on the Pokedex. First was BW067: Battling the Bully! when Ash looked up Scolipede and Seismitoad on the Pokedex.
- Who's that Pokémon? Purrloin (Japan) Whimsicott (US)
- Cilan narrates the preview of this episode (Japan)
- After Burgundy was hit by Crustle's Rock Wrecker, she did the "blasting off gag" that Team Rocket used to do.
- Even the Sunglasses Krokorok did the "blasting off gag" too like Burgundy three times in three episodes in a row. Which is BW012: Here Comes the Trubbish Squad! as a Sandile, BW020: Dancing With the Ducklett Trio! when he's evolved already, and last is BW067: Battling the Bully! but not anymore because he's with Ash now as his new Pokemon since he was captured in the end of the last episode.

Chūnin Exam on Fire! Naruto vs. Konohamaru!
this wiki
|A Chūnin Exam of Flames! Naruto vs. Konohamaru
炎の中忍試験!ナルトVS木ノ葉丸!!Honō no Chūnin Shiken! Naruto Bāsasu Konohamaru!!
A Chūnin Exam of Flames! Naruto vs. Konohamaru!! (炎の中忍試験!ナルトVS木ノ葉丸!!, Honō no Chūnin Shiken! Naruto Bāsasu Konohamaru!!) is the ninth Naruto OVA. This OVA aired in movie theatres along with the movie Naruto 5: Blood Prison.
Konohamaru and Naruto both participate in the Chūnin Exams in Sunagakure. Konohamaru and his team begin in the area set for the second half of the Exam where they are attacked by a monster. Naruto saves them from it and they all make it to the preliminary matches where Naruto is matched up with Konohamaru. Konohamaru starts off by throwing a smoke bomb and then uses Big Ball Rasengan, a technique that Naruto hadn't taught him before. Naruto is able to narrowly avoid it. Then, both of them use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and attack each other, Naruto with Rasengan and Konohamaru with kunai. Naruto's clones easily defeat Konohamaru's, with Konohamaru getting himself continuously beaten and bruised in an relentless attempt to land a hit Naruto. Then suddenly, Konohamaru uses the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique which forces Naruto to jump up and exposed to his opponent's Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning as the younger ninja manages to land a hit. Though Konohamaru he cheers happily that he was able to land a blow, Naruto gets up as he entered Sage Mode. However, learning that the use of senjutsu is forbidden in the Chūnin Exam, Naruto is disqualified while Konohamaru wins by default. In the end, it is shown that Konohamaru has become a chūnin, declaring Naruto as his subordinate and driving Naruto insane.

- "Shouldn'ta lost me temper, but it didn't work, anyway. Meant ter turn him into a pig, but I suppose he was so much like a pig anyway there wasn't much left ter do."
- —Rubeus Hagrid on his attempt to turn Dudley Dursley into a pig[src]
Human to pig was a Transforming spell used to transform a human target into a pig.
Circe was fond of using this spell to turn sailors into pigs in ancient Greece.
Known Practitioners
- Rubeus Hagrid (attempted)
- Circe
Behind the scenes
- Hagrid mentions that he tried to turn Dudley into a pig, but supposes that must not have worked because he was already too much like a pig. However, he might simply have been using the wrong spell. Alternatively, this is simply another instance of Hagrid's magic not working fully, due to his snapped wand.

John C. Goodman Speaks on Sean Hannity Show
Recorded: Thursday, October 31, 2013
John C. Goodman, author of Priceless: Curing the Healthcare Crisis, appeared on the Sean Hannity radio program on Thursday, October 31. Goodman discusses alternatives to Obamacare, as outlined in his book "Priceless." If patients control their healthcare, then providers can compete on quality and price, instead of government bureaucracies dictating healthcare choices to consumers. Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice also joined the discussion.

Academicians and activists have urged the government to move swiftly to institute legal and disciplinary action against leaders involved in the Energy and Minerals PS funds collection scam.
They were reacting to the recommendations passed in the National Assembly on Saturday following the report by a House select committee which investigated the legitimacy of the decision by the Energy and Minerals Permanent Secretary David Jairo to direct ministry's departments and agencies to contribute 50m/- each to facilitate the passing of the 2011/12 budget in Parliament.
In an interview with The Guardian, many of those interviewed said speedy action was important to control the damage to the government's image, which they said had been caused by the disclosures in the report.
Some said the report showed that there was no proper control and use of public funds in the ministries and shared the concern voiced by the Same East MP Anne Kilango Malecela that the Permanent Secretaries were more powerful than the ministers, an anomaly they think should be corrected.
The House Committee recommendations among other things want responsible authorities to dismiss Jairo for his decision and Chief Secretary Philemon Luhanjo for defending him after the House ordered that he should be investigated.
The lawmakers had also recommended that Energy and Minerals minister William Ngeleja and his deputy, Adam Malima be held responsible for failing to perform their oversight duties as required.
They also recommended that Controller and Auditor General Ludovick Utouh be held accountable for his deliberate decision to mislead the public.
Speaking to The Guardian in separate interviews academicians, activists and politicians said they expected the government to institute legal and disciplinary measures against the erring officials.
University of Dar es Salaam's Prof Palamagamba Kabudi, said strong and independent institutions were required to deal with the challenge of disciplining such government officials.
For her part, Tanzania Media Women Association executive director Ananilea Nkya said she believed that the government will take appropriate measures against the individuals involved in the scam, calling on members of the public to remain patient.
"Let us wait and see if the authorities will have taken action by the next Parliamentary session," Nkya said.
Legal and Human Rights Centre executive director Hellen Kijo-Bisimba doubted if the government will take action as recommended by the Parliament, saying: "We activists will give ourselves time to monitor what will be going on," Bisimba said.
Deus Kibamba of the Constitutional Platform urged the government to promptly arrest those involved in the scam, including Energy and Minerals minister William Ngeleja and his deputy Adam Malima, and take them to court because the report showed that they were all responsible for the scam.
"I am quite happy with the Parliamentary recommendations," he said, disputing the view that Ngeleja and Malima were not aware of what was going on.
He said if they were not aware of the entire 'processes' they would not have signed for the 4m/- entertainment allowance they pocketed.
Prof Benson Bana, head of University of Dar es Salaam's Political Science and Public Administration department said most Tanzanians have accepted what the House has recommended after discussing the parliamentary select committee report which did its work well.
