Published: 30 January 2014
As expected earlier, the Congress-led UPA Government has raised the cap on subsidised LPG cylinders from 9 to 12 from April 2014. The decision was taken at the Union Cabinet following the recent directive by Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi to PM Manmohan Singh to comply with his order. The Congress wants to revive its declining fortune ahead of 2014 polls with a series of populist measures and this move is seen as one of those.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, has accepted Rahul Gandhi's recommendations. Petroleum Minister M Veerappa Moily had hinted about raising the cap in December 2013. But, it was planned in such a way that Rahul Gandhi gets full credit for the decision.
Increasing the limit to 12, could put an additional fuel subsidy burden of Rs 3,300 crore-4,000 crore on the government, which already incurs about Rs 46,000 crore per annum as LPG subsidy.
As per the latest decision, the consumers who have already taken 9 cylinders, can get only two more till March. However, consumers, who have taken 8 cylinders till date, can get three more subsidised cylinders. The government has also decided to delink Aadhar cards from LPG subsidy, which means the status quo will be maintained and the consumers won't will get cash subsidy to their bank accounts.

The quaint village of Greenport sits at the edge of the beautifully halycon region of North Fork Island - the go-to location for those in search of a more quiet, peaceful and often times cheaper alternative to ritzy East Hampton, New York.
Greenport sits above the Peconic Bay and has roughly 2,000 people occupying its lovely cottages and summer homes.The village mixes its old roots with renowned, farm-to-table fare featured in publications such as The New York Times. Restaurants like Noah's located on Front Street, the town's main street, use vegetables from nearby farms to impress patrons with delectable seafood.
Shelter Island residents use the North Fork Ferry service located in Greenpoint, and they're greeted by the town's antique carousel dating back to the 1920's. For those who appreciate great wine and beer, the town is located near 40 vineyards and is also home to the Greenport Harbor Brewing Company.
The picturesque beach town is truly a delight and it's really no wonder it was named as one of the country's prettiest towns by Forbes Magazine.

- For the gourd, see Pumpkins
The Pumpkin Anything Muppet is an orange rod puppet with a long, oval-shaped head, used on Sesame Street. Though sometimes referred to as "Tall Orange" in fan communities, the official name, according to a 1979 character style guide, is Pumpkin.
A live handed variation of the puppet was first used in Season 35. There's also a pumpkin-orange live hand puppet with a rounded head, similar to the large Lavender live hand puppet, but visually distinct from the typical Pumpkin Anything. In season 40, a variation of the puppet was made, with a wider mouth and modified head.
Examples of the Sesame Street characters developed from the Pumpkin Anything Muppet include the following:
Pumpkin Live Hand
A live hand variant also exists, but has been used less frequently.

Forever young- the life and times of Gene Thorpe
By: Kathleen McCoy Grover
Behind the Bars column
The awe and wonder of the Fountain of Youth is no mystery for Gene Thorpe. The endless spring of the intangible and sought-after mystical flow originates from the music found rising up from deep within his very core. Gene's awareness of the rhythms of life began as a kid. The eldest of three siblings, he grew up near Coney Island in Brooklyn, N.Y. No matter where he turned his ear, the diverse sounds of the city came together to form an orchestra of perpetual life. During Gene's early years, many a weekend was spent at the exciting Coney Island Carnival, where kewpie dolls made by Gene's family were handed out as prizes to carnival customers. The carnival world stimulated Gene and taught him to listen and learn from the pulse of life. Along with the sounds of the city, the piano accompanied Gene's earliest memories as he often sat at its keys, with his companion tape recorder. In 1953, Gene's family relocated to Stockton to follow his fascinating and vibrant grandfather, Gene Greene, when he took a management position at Harris Manufacturing. Gene was six when his grandparents' friend, "The Singing Cherokee," starred in his own country-music television show. It was in the days of no age restrictions; the youngster accompanied his grandparents to the bustling bars, listening to "The Singing Cherokee" and his band play the now classic hits of Hank Williams, Web Pierce and Ernest Tub. During the mid 1950s and 1960s, Gene's family operated a service station. After school, it filled Gene with a steady stream of hot convertibles flowing with older teenagers dressed in the era's coolest clothes. These portable dance floors passed through blasting the timeless hits of Elvis, Fabian, Dion and Bobby Darrin on their tube radios while Gene changed car tires and repaired bicycles. He discovered his own form of 'portable music' in a Hohner harmonica, which became his constant companion. Gene's focus on music matured on the radio's sweet elixir of old time rock 'n' roll, generously poured out by the Kings, Roy Orbison, Bill Haley and The Comets, and so many more. Next, Gene added guitar and drums to his expanding repertoire of musical abilities. When the young teen experienced his first rock 'n' roll band in an open-air show, filled with the sound of electric guitars, it swept him away. He was hooked. The eager prodigy met piano salesman Carl Corbin in 1960. Gene spent all of his spare time with Carl, who mentored the young teen not only in music but also in the vital skills of an entertainer. "Once I learned how to play, all I wanted to do was play," Gene said. Gene frequented jams around his neighborhood, honing his skills with other musicians who shared his passion. Gene's gigs were often out of town playing drums. Wanting to sing locally and move away from drums, he joined forces with three musicians. They picked tomatoes to earn money to buy guitars, amps and an Army surplus P.A. system and created the group, The Persuaders. They played the 1965 California State Fair's Battle of The Bands. After a year of hard work and even more fun playing many local dances and parties, the band dissolved in 1966. The Yellow Submarine trio formed that same year with Frank Sorci on keyboards and Bill Miller on drums, followed by The Concern with Gary Powell, Verlen Thom and Laura Flowers. Also in 1966, Gene landed a job at the Vox Room Guitar Center in Sacramento. He started as a janitor, then worked with inventory and moved on to selling anything that had to do with music. Gene joined Dave Williamson, Ron McElroy, Ron Cook and later, Rick Taylor, to form the young band, The Yukon Daily. "We rehearsed like machines, night after night, song after song. We were steeped in the blues and early rock styles," Gene said. "We opened shows for the popular bands Buffalo Springfield, Steppenwolf, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Quicksilver Messenger Service and many others. I can still play a whole night on the songs I learned from that period of my life between '67 and '70." Next came a short stint with a band called Movie. Then came the first version of The Simultaneous Avalanche Band. After a long summer on the road in Lake Tahoe and Nevada and having all their equipment stolen, Simultaneous Avalanche's first incarnation disbanded. Rejoining Simultaneous Avalanche, Gene had a "wild time" playing rock, blues and pop while touring Canada and 29 states, including Alaska and Hawaii from 1970 to 1976. Gene returned to the music store when Avalanche came home in 1976. That same year, Sacramento Entertainment Guide and Directory hired Gene. "My musical career and the band were always my first priority," Gene said. His monthly magazine column went from covering 20 clubs a month to more than 100 clubs and events. Gene met his wife, Shari, in 1978, when she stopped by the Tutor House in Carmichael where his band was playing. The serendipitous meeting immediately changed their lives. In 1980, Sacramento's music scene began to change rapidly and so did Gene. He left The Vox Room to start a new talent agency called GTA, headquartered in Skip's Music, "one of the largest and most progressive music stores in the United States." He also put together Powerglide, which in 1981, won the Shire Road Battle of the Bands. "We went on to play many top Northern California nightclubs and became one of the more 'in demand' corporate bands on the Sacramento music scene." Gene's drive and ambition took him to yet another level when, in 1984, he decided to back away from the music business. Gene sold GTA to Stephen Grace and entered the real-estate business. His performance-based work ethic, combined with his years as an independent contractor, served him well. However, Powerglide still landed gigs. Gene never did leave the music business. In 2002, after working with fellow musician, Realtor and friend Ron Barringer, he opened Pavilion Realty and also formed The Fabulous DeVilles band. This year, Gene was elected president of the Placer County Association of Realtors. Gene's melodious fountain of his youth keeps him forever young. Together with the Fabulous DeVilles, he keeps that grooved record of music alive and rockin' with the songs that gave birth to the legendary kings of rock 'n' roll. Kathleen McCoy Grover, "My Life, Your Music," is a Lincoln resident.

When exactly I know that I am pregnant?
I am trying to become pregnant. We have been participating in sex daily from the 10th day of my period. As per the discussions seen here, I came to know that 14th to 16th is the peak time for fertility. After these days, how often we can have sex to become pregnant? How soon I will know that I am pregnant?

I agree with Exotickiwi. I know it's nerve wrecking to wait, but it really does an injustice if you keep spending money on pregnancy tests before there's enough of the hormone in your blood to be positive. Wait until you miss your period and then take a test in the day. PS. She's also right about the dollar store test. They're all the same technology (just no fancy screens, which you don't need). Also, when trying to conceive. Try to not stress out about it, stress plays a huge factor in conception ;) Just try to enjoy the "making a baby" ....it's a great time for the two of you.posted 05/04/2010 by iamjulez06
You should be able to take a test by the time your period is due. I hope everything turns out. By the way, if you just can't wait till your period is due and you want to test early, buy the dollar store tests... they are just $1 and are just as sensitive as the brand name tests. I used a dollar store test and it worked. If you test early, don't get discouraged at a negative result... I really recommend waiting until your period is due. It will give you a more accurate result... Lots of negative results can damage your spirit..... The first time I had unprotected sex for all of the days of my "fertile period", I got pregnant right away. It can happen, but if it doesn't, just keep at it. GOOD LUCK!posted 04/27/2010 by ExoticKiwi
It is better to leave 48 hours between sex when trying to conceive. This gives time for sperm to build back up. Having sex every day actually REDUCES your chances of conceiving. ExoticKiwi is right about the pregnancy test - you should be able to find out around the time you miss your period or shortly after. I'm crossing my fingers for you!posted 04/28/2010 by rwooten666
Sorry. I meant to say, take a test FIRST THING in the morning. The first urine will have the strongest read ona pregnancy test (because it'll have the highest count of the hormone needed)posted 05/04/2010 by iamjulez06

windows can be distracting
..I really should have a studio with no visual access to the outside world. Oh, and also the coffee pot, teapot, bed, phone, computer, bed....etc.
...I am too easily distracted

Hello...Nice to meet you!
Hi :wave: from sunny Australia (although not very sunny at the moment and it's bitterly cold).
Just a little about me....I have been keeping various species of fish for approx. 10 years now. I currently have a Honey Gourami & Emerald Eyed Rasboras in a 15 gall. and Golden Medakas & 5 Oto's in a 20 gal. I do seem to have a fondness for small sized fish, although one day I would love to keep Electric Yellow Labs and Angel fish if I ever have the space for large tanks.
I am still learning new things every day in this hobby and this forum looks like a great place to further my knowledge and hopefully offer advice if/when I can. :-D
welcome to the forum.
hello and welcome. :)
Thanks guys for the welcome!
Hi, Welcome to TFK! Glad you found us. I hope you enjoy this forum as much as I do. Lots of great people on here!

The Louisville "Lou"sers have finished their first ever 5k road race.
In the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina road race Saturday, "Lou"sers Christi and Samantha did what they set out to do, complete a 5k road race. The goal wasn't to win, or to be fast. "Don't compete, just complete." Samantha finished in 55 minutes, and Christi trailed only 2 minutes behind, finishing at 57 minutes.
While first races can be intimidating, the women had a remarkable experience, each having run alongside Bob Harper, beloved Biggest Loser trainer; lucky "Lou"ser Samantha was filmed with him. Will the clip make it to the November Biggest Loser special NBC plans to air of Saturday's first Biggest Loser Event Challenge? This writer hopes so!
Samantha was able to jog most of the 3.1-mile course, "but it was tough because it was so hot with no wind."
Christi found the race setup a challenge because of being surrounded by so many people. "I didn't run at my normal pace and had a harder time with breathing. But, we finished and that's what's important! We're already talking about the next BL5k that we can go to."
In their persistent quest for a spot on the show, they hit up a casting booth where 5k participants could make videos to tell their stories. And, they were thrilled when running into Holland "Master Caster" Striplin who remembered them from the Louisville casting call. No doubt, whether Christi and Samantha make it on the show or not, it seems they have both the spirit and motivation to continue getting healthy. They've found a niche of other Americans propelled into fitness and its resulting weight loss by 9 previous seasons of The Biggest Loser. The women meet people just like themselves everywhere they go, people who tell them they're doing great, who support them consistently.
Speaking of the Biggest Loser 5k, Christi said, "We both trained for it, and felt ready, but it was harder than we thought it would be. Overall, it's been a great weekend! I'm so glad we came to this. If I can do this, I can do others, and build up to a full marathon someday!"
Congratulations, Christi and Samantha!
If you missed the first episode of Season 10 last week, be sure to catch up on The Biggest Loser Tuesday night on NBC.

|New Beginner's Packs Friday Night
|Written by Logress
|Friday, 28 December 2012 07:07
With the new Starters, the old Beginner's packs don't make much sense. SO, tomorrow night we'll be putting up a new beginner's pack. If for some reason you really want the old one, better grab it now!
Also, adding ultimate game card and other options in the cashier are still underway (the new cashier will even do currency conversions for you) just some old GP code we're butting heads with right now causing occasional bugs.

The Department also works to improve access to the outdoors in other ways. "More Missourians enjoy the outdoors because of MDC's managed hunts and the construction of disabled-accessible docks, hunting blinds and trails," says Darrow. "Special hunting and fishing events for people with limited mobility provide additional opportunities for people of all ages to pursue outdoor activities and to learn first-hand about conservation."
Missouri's Crown Jewels
Another way the Department works to steward Missouri's forest, fish and wildlife resources is by conserving the best remaining examples of Missouri's rich and varied forests, woodlands, savannas, prairies, glades, cliffs, wetlands, caves, springs, streams and rivers. This effort began in 1970. Today, the state more than 180 designated natural areas in the Missouri Natural Areas Program, totaling 72,060 acres.
"The success of the Natural Areas program is due to an outstanding conservation partnership between MDC, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, the Mark Twain National Forest, the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and The Nature Conservancy," says Michael Leahy, MDC natural areas coordinator. "These organizations have come together with the common goal of conserving the natural communities of Missouri for the enjoyment and benefit of today's citizens and future generations."
These habitats support many native plant and animal species. Missouri natural areas provide habitat for more than 350 Missouri species of conservation concern, including endangered species such as the Niangua darter and the western prairie fringed orchid. Designated natural areas also conserve multitudes of species that are not endangered but are uncommon due to habitat loss. In this way, natural areas help to keep species off of the endangered species list by ensuring these plants and animals have the habitat they need.
Designated natural areas help connect us to our outdoor heritage. They provide opportunities for many forms of outdoor recreation, including hiking, nature photography, bird watching, nature study, hunting and fishing. Learn more about natural areas at mdc.mo.gov/node/2453. Or, purchase Discover Missouri Natural Areas: A Guide to 50 Great Places, available at MDC conservation nature centers statewide (see Page 7) and at mdcnatureshop.com.
MDC Partners with Communities
In addition to actively managing the state's conservation areas to benefit people and wildlife, MDC also partners with communities to improve access to the out- doors, especially fishing. Since 1981, the Department's Community Assistance Program has provided close-tohome fishing opportunities throughout the

ENID, Okla. (AP) - Air Force training planes remain grounded at Vance Air Force Base as civilian employees continue their strike at the base in Enid.
Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Local 898 walked out early Monday failing to reach an agreement before the union's three-year contract expired.
Union members voted overwhelmingly Friday to reject the latest contract offer from CSC Applied Technologies LLC and three subcontractors.
Union member John Crowdis says the biggest issues involve seniority, drug testing, personal time approval and health insurance.
CSC spokeswoman Caroline Longanecker says in a written statement
the company's offer supports the Air Force's mission and provides for a pay increase.

We are just learning the results from Indiana's spring standardized test results, called ISTEP.
You can find the entire list with every local school district here: http://www.doe.in.gov/improvement/accountability/find-school-and-corporation-data-reports
Statewide scores went up, with nearly 74 percent of 3rd through 8th-graders passing both sections of the test.
Locally here is what we found: In South Bend scores are below the state average. Only 4th and 6th grades had more than 60 percent of students pass both the math and English Language Arts parts of the test.
IN Mishawaka between 75 and 80 percent of elementary students passed both sections of the test.
But only 63 and 65 percent of 7th and 8th-graders in Mishawaka passed both.
Penn-Harris-Madison schools are well above the state average in every grade, with 8th-graders doing the best.
More than 90 percent of 8th-graders passed both sections of the test.
Remember, this was the testing in May when about 80,000 students across Indiana were interrupted because of computer problems.
But an independent expert determined the interruptions had little effect on scores.

As a team EOU shot 47 percent from the field and outrebounded Warner 40-27 while forcing 21 turnovers.

New Tallahassee Museum conservation camp takes students to Key Largo's MarineLab for AP-aligned marine biology and environmental science course
TALLAHASSEE, FL (March 22, 2016) – Students in a new Tallahassee Museum conservation summer camp will take their classroom on the road and into the waters of the Florida Keys during a week-long AP-aligned course in marine biology and environmental science.
The Museum's "Taking the State" Conservation Camp, July 6-12, is open to rising 10th-12th graders and will include four days at Key Largo's MarineLab, as well as stops at Zoo Miami and Tampa's Florida Aquarium.
Hands-on activities will cover AP standards including seagrass ecology, mangrove ecology, coral reef ecology, identification of reef fish, and labs for water quality and diversity indexing. The Tallahassee Museum developed the camp to expand its high-quality STEM education offerings. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math.
"Research shows that students who engage in hands-on science develop a deeper understanding of the material and do better on tests," said Natasha Hartsfield, the museum's director of education. "Learning by doing enhances critical thinking, creativity and logic, while teaching students to rely on evidence and think independently. Studies also show that it increases student motivation, which is not surprising because it's fun and engaging."
Campers will leave Tallahassee July 6 and spend the night at Florida Gulf Coast University's student housing, arriving the next day in Key Largo, where they will study nearshore marine ecology at MarineLab through activities that include daily boating and swimming. MarineLab teaching staff hold degrees in marine biology, environmental science and biology and offer customized education programs to 4,000 students and teachers a year. Facilities include dorm rooms, labs, a cafeteria and a floating conference center. The location in Key Largo, an a hour south of Miami, offers quick access to the coral reefs of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and Florida Bay in Everglades National Park.
On the way back to Tallahassee campers will get a behind-the-scenes lesson on the palm oil industry at Zoo Miami and spend the night at the Florida Aquarium.
Enrollment is limited to 18 student campers. The $1,800 fee for Tallahassee Museum members ($1,850 for nonmembers) includes all MarineLab tuition, zoo and aquarium tickets, and seven days of meals, lodging and transportation. All campers must have completed 9th-11th grade by June 1, 2016. To register, visit www.tallahasseemuseum.org.

Tiger-Phil duel stole Masters show
Originally Published: April 12, 2009By Gene Wojciechowski | ESPN.com
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Angel Cabrera overcame a final round sloppier than buffalo wings, survived an even messier three-player, two-hole playoff, but will return to his native Argentina with his second major championship -- this time with a Masters green jacket in his wardrobe.
But enough about the junior varsity ...
The early evening and the Masters championship belongs to Cabrera -- no small thing -- but the day, the 75-deep galleries, the loudest roars belonged to ...

The last thing we need about now is another awards show, but the first ever "Game Show Awrds" (GSN, 9 p.m.) actally fills a niche for now. In addition to honoring past game shows which get short shirft everywhere from the Daytime Emmys to TV Land Awards, it's added the excitement of the genre by adding a lot of little prize-winning competitions for the audience while the show runs at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles.
Howie Mandel proves himself an all purpose game show pro - able to guide the audience through individual games and keep things lively with improvised patter. Good thing he's up for his own award.
Stars from the past are honored, from Monty Hall to the diety that is Bob Barker. But when they bring up some celebrity panelists from the old "Match Game," you'll slowly recognize them like seeing aunts you hadn't seen since childhood.
Time will tell whether there will be enough game shows to honor as the years go on (the list of honorees for the TVLand Awars is already starting to get thin). But for now, this surprisingly lively and entertaining event seems like a good idea indeed.
John Schneider stars in the new TV movie "Come Dance at My Wedding" (Hallmark, 9 p.m.).
The attempt by the classic metal band to play 13 countries around the globe in just 45 days is chronicled in the documentary "Iron Maiden: Flight 666" (VH1 Classic, 9 p.m.).
In another program involving numbers, a season finale comes for the cable incarnation of "Nanny 911" (8 p.m.). It's the end of the season too for "I Want to Save Your Life" (We, 10 p.m.). Which is good, because that snooping "diet coach" Charles Stuart Platkin was creepy.
Last year's winner, Artist Knox, returns to "Beverly Hills Groomer" (Animal Planet, 10 p.m.).
Suddenly, it's all tied 2-2 up in the Stanley Cup Finals, where the home team has been the winner so far. Tonight it's Penguins at Red Wings (NBC, 8 p.m.).
In baseball, it's Rays at Yankees (YES, 1 p.m.), Phillies at Dodgers (Fox, 4 p.m.), Mets at Nationals (WTXX, Channel 20, 7 p.m.) and Rangers at Red Sox (NESN, 7 p.m.).
And the WNBA is in business, with Shock at Sparks (ABC, 2:30 p.m.).
Sick kitty? A second season comes for "Housecat Housecall" (Animal Planet, 10:30 a.m.).
"Tropic Thunder" (Cinemax, 10 p.m.) makes its premium cable premiere, as does "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" (HBO, 8 p.m.).
Here's a marketing theory: Guests for "Saturday Night Live" (NBC, 11:30 p.m.) are timed not only to coordinate with their current projects but for movies that are released about the time of the rerun. Hence, the replay of the Bradley Cooper-hosted show from February (when he was in "He's Just not that Into You") comes the weekend that "The Hangover" opens in theaters. TV on the Radio is musical guest.

A Belated Obituary of Christopher Hitchens
Imagine a man whose heart and mind are of the purest magnolia-white nobility, a man whose devotion to his championed causes knows no limit. A man whose deft yet savage wit collapses the elaborate charades of his enemies. A man who in debate is feared by his opponents, revered by his admirers and reviled by his detractors. A man whose pen, described by some, perhaps inevitably, as acid-tipped, has felled with ease a coterie of smarmy bureaucrats, polished generals, lazy talking heads, fraudulent journalists, Henry Kissinger and at least one sleazy President of the United States. A man so widely read and watched and admired he cannot comfortably walk to his local liquor store, puffing on an entire pack of cigarettes as he makes his merry way, without being hounded by his public who are never ungenerous with their affection, not when it comes to this man, this hero, this standard-bearing knight upon a hill silhouetted by a fast-falling sun: soon the land will be twilit, and after that swallowed by darkness, and who then will protect the citizenry from the myriad crimes of unreason? Our knight-savior labors through the shaded hours without thought of cessation, slashing away at his enemies, and ours. Morning arrives and the gallant peasantry dutifully make their journey hillward before carrying away on their shoulders our hero. In the distance a small but important pack of charlatans and fools, on their faces evidence of either great anger or pallid submission, make known their disapproval, shaking their fists and yelling unkind words. This scene does not escape our knight-savior, and he smiles. He welcomes their hatred
If you were the late Christopher Hitchens, you envisioned this magnificence in the mirror every morning and knew it was true.
The charge, if you pay attention to this sort of thing, is a familiar one. After the September 11th attacks Hitchens changed, or maybe the ghastly attacks brought out his true character. He happily captained a cheerleading squad for endless war — provided, it seems, the wars were conducted against Muslims, the mass of New Hitlers not just barely visible on the horizon but here, making their homes among us, patronizing the same stores, enrolling their children in the same schools. The grand Republic harbors inside its borders the barbarian enemy who, through terrorism and superstition, works to bring down the whole thing amid great fanfare and semtex.
This is not to say Hitchens had descended into the cheap bigotry of Daniel Pipes, burdening himself with weekly appearances on Fox News, ogling Megyn Kelly and raging against the shame, the absolute shame! of the halal cart across the street from the newsroom. His crusade against the New Hitlers had much more to do with his soggy reflection than any deep-felt conviction of imminent danger.
Christopher Eric Hitchens was born April 13th, 1949 — Jefferson's birthday, he liked to point out, and also Beckett's, glory which by now reflects quite dimly — to middle class parents. His father was a naval officer. Hitchens from an early age showed a sterling intellect and was groomed for success. A too-often repeated favorite anecdote of those early years has at the heart of it a quote from his mother: "If there is going to be an upper class in this country then Christopher is going to be in it." His parents certainly did their best on this front. Hitchens was educated at the Leys School, a boarding school in Cambridge, and attended Balliol College, Oxford, which counts on its distinguished roster alumni the likes of Adam Smith, Aldous Huxley and Boris Johnson, Bullingdon Club member, current mayor of London and toff everyman.
It was at Oxford that Hitchens's reputation for brilliance began to take hold. (And should Oxford come up in conversation, Hitchens would not fail to inform his companions that he was a student contemporary of Bill Clinton, and while they weren't friends they did allegedly share at different times a girlfriend.) He was politically active, joining the Labour Party before being expelled over his opposition to the war in Vietnam. During the tempestuous months of 1968 Hitchens languished in England while his socialist brethren in Paris tried their hand at, if not revolution, then passionate protest. (Forty years later he would write in City Journal, "As someone born in 1949, I prefer to consider myself not a mere sixties person but a soixante-huitard.")
The immediate post-Oxford years found Hitchens working Fleet Street. If the preceding sentence has about it a disagreeable overture of prostitution it is not the fault of the present writer. For while Hitchens was not precisely toting his jolly goods to passersby, he did find himself engaged in a bit of journalistic harlotry, gaining employment as social science editor for the Times Higher Education Supplement before being fired and moving on to the New Statesman. It was here he met not only his maybe-well-maybe-not-I-don't-know-lover Martin Amis but also Ian McEwan, with Salman Rushdie the two future leading hacks of British letters.
By 1981 the humble isle of his birth could no longer contain his expanding ego. He moved to America, writing for The Nation and polishing further his reputation as literary polemical journalist. The following year he began composing for that magazine a bi-weekly column that ran for twenty years, Minority Report. Throughout that decade and the one that followed he published in the London Review of Books, the New Statesman (still), Harper's, Granta, etc. many cogent essays attacking and lampooning Establishment liars, thieves, murderers and bores of all nations, from Margaret Thatcher to Mother Teresa to Reagan to Bush, not to mention the joyful savagery with which he lambastes his many hack colleagues. Books were brought out, both collections of previously published material — Prepared for the Worst and For the Sake of Argument being the first, best two — and original works like the pamphlet-length On Monarchy, to this day the finest attack on monarchical pretensions since Thomas Paine's Common Sense, and The Missionary Position, his all-too-brief takedown of Mother Teresa. (It was around this time he produced and narrated a rather watchable television documentary on Blessed Teresa of Calcutta called Hell's Angel.) C-SPAN chat shows and their like could not have him on often enough, and he obliged them, filling an hour here and there with sparkling loquacity, taking on all comers, be they hosts, fellow guests, callers-in, it mattered not. (Many of these vintage C-SPAN apperances may be seen for free on their website.)
And then Christopher Hitchens, Trotskyist, a man who once called Saddam Hussein "the first visionary Arab statesman since Nasser," a ferocious critic of the 1991 Gulf War, had come to embrace with startlingly few reservations his role as war propagandist, Bush-booster, a man who could call war criminal Paul Wolfowitz his friend and mean it. What happened?
It was, as Melville put it, a clear steel-blue day. On the morning of the eleventh day of the ninth month of the two-thousand-and-first year CE, a decades-long career and well-earned reputation were erased in the time it took three planes to hit their targets in Manhattan and Arlington County, Virginia, and another plane to be brought down by its own innocent passengers near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Almost immediately, Hitchens took to his familiar stomping grounds between the covers of The Nation, but he also ventured outward, daring to tread upon foreign territory from which he would launch loquacious missiles against those who would shortly be his former comrades. He attacked Noam Chomsky, a man whom he had labeled just months prior in Letters to a Young Contrarian "a most distinguished intellectual and moral dissident." He went further in the pages of The Spectator, a right-wing British weekly, draping over the Left a great blanket on which was embroidered the words Blame America First, and he hesitatesd not at all to deliver a few petty kicks and stomps to the teeth of his unseeing target.
Beginning as a student, at least, Hitchens attached himself to many causes, crowning himself principle defender of the trampled upon, or warred upon, or bored upon. He had his whole adult life exhibited a love for the violence of verbal battle, parrying and riposting, taking in debate the utmost pleasure delivering the death-blow. It was obvious to his readers that Hitchens never had much time for the nuts-and-bolts nuance of social activism — just imagine the late Hitchens penning a modern version of Agrarian Justice. For him it was ever a fight, ever a battle to be waged against an enemy, ever the oppressed or potentially oppressed standing up to their ostensible oppressor, and this tendency among others had not infrequently led to accusations of champagne socialism going all the way back to his days at Oxford.
Hitchens had his political idols — he would have taken issue with that word — and it is no surprise to anyone that he attempted to emulate them. Well known to his readers, these idols had long been George Orwell and Thomas Paine. He had written a book on each man, Why Orwell Matters and Thomas Paine's Rights of Man (the latter book having on its cover, somewhat unnervingly, not a portrait of Paine but a jacket-sized picture of its author), and many articles and essays besides. When discussing or writing about Orwell it was not unusual that Hitchens recoursed to praising him for being on the right side of history when it came to fascism and communism; this was of course a common thread in the public tapestry of Christopher Hitchens. With Paine the reasons for admiration were even clearer: Here was a man who with just his pen and his reason helped foment a revolution that changed the world; more than that, here was a man who took it to Edmund Burke in defense of the French Revolution and the rights of men everywhere to loose themselves from the shackles of tyranny, and who brought the fight to his own fellow citizens on matters of Christianity in The Age of Reason, a book over which John Adams, second President of the United States, labeled him a "blackguard"— others were less kind. Paine eventually died a drink-sodden old radical, refusing to his very last breath to recant his Deism and accept into his heart Jesus Christ, an example our hero has done his best to emulate.
Hitchens badly wished to be remembered as having come down on the right side of history. Before 9/11 he lacked a truly historic opponent — yes, it was true that chronicling with great wit the obloquy of the American imperial experiment was important and rewarding and enjoyable. But the American government was no Nazi Germany, and so Hitchens trudged onward through the years without a Great Enemy against whom he might test himself. Well, one late summer morning he no longer had to worry about that, no, there now existed an existential threat so virulent, so powerful that not only were American lives endangered, but the whole of western civilization, all its liberal democratic values, its entire record of high-minded philosophy going back to Thales of Miletus became threatened with imminent extinction. Here, finally, was his chance to play Paine as he took on the imperial tyranny of the British Empire, his chance to play Orwell who mustered all his literary and journalistic might against the powers of Franco and Hitler and Mussolini and Stalin. He fought back.
Did he ever.
In a column for The Nation on September 20th, 2001, "Against Rationalization," Hitchens wrote that "the bombers of Manhattan represent fascism with an Islamic face, and there's no point in any euphemism about it." We have here an early evocation of a relatively small band of terrorists as a collective New Hitler, ready to slaughter us in our sleep. He concluded his column: "But there's only one way of stating the obvious, which is that this is an enemy for life, as well as an enemy of life." Witness the not-so-surreptitious commitment to neverending warfare. It is of course important to note that it was not Hitchens doing the fighting and killing and dying, and it surely was not his children who were murdered or maimed irreversibly in a drone attack.
If Afghanistan was straightforward enough, Iraq was somewhat more convoluted. The reader is naturally aware of the ever-evolving casus belli, from violation of the 1991 cease-fire agreement, to Saddam Hussein attempting an assassination of George H.W. Bush in 1993, to the imminent threat of weapons of mass destruction, to the need to establish a peaceful democracy for the Iraqi people, to the risk of imminent civil war should withdrawal begin, etc. The justifications are many and Hitchens, as the years went by, proudly trotted out all of them. (He continued to his last cigarette, insisting that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, and that some of these weapons, or at least evidence of their existence, were uncovered. It is likely even Cheney found that one comical.) He spewed paeans to violence with a bloodlust so visceral one was surprised he had not taken to assaulting Arab-looking passersby or eating their children. In a 2004 lecture at Kenyon College, he spoke sullenly regarding the failures of Fallujah: "The death toll is not nearly high enough … too many [insurgents, we may generously assume] have escaped."
Should Hitchens, through some trick of the cosmos, read these words he would shrug them off easily enough. "The author is a contemptuous enemy of reason and liberty," he might say, uncharacteristically failing to fit in somewhere the word "lugubrious." These charges he has likely heard before. One he might fail to dismiss so easily, however, is as evident as any of the others: Christopher Hitchens had become an awful bore. His Slate.com column was more tiresome and predictable than anything he had attempted previously. Every week his audience was permitted to enjoy, in staid dying prose that lost its vigor years ago, a pitiable second-rate ventriloquist act sans dummy. His longer compositions, including short essays for Vanity Fair and his dubiously self-congratulating and poorly-titled memoir Hitch-22, read like unfortunate parodies of the writer he once was. Only in God is Not Great did he approach something like his vintage self.
It is early evening on June 30th of the present year. A short note is posted on the Vanity Fair website authored by Hitchens himself. "I have been advised by my physician," it reads, "that I must undergo a course of chemotherapy on my esophagus. This advice seems persuasive to me. I regret having had to cancel so many engagements at such short notice." The diagnosis was esophageal cancer, which was the same affliction that terminated his father. It is not a disease easily or often defeated, a fact acknowledged by Hitchens in a short essay for Vanity Fair, "Topic of Cancer," a surprisingly reflective survey of his struggle.
His remaining days were few. Barring — he would excuse the expression — a late conversion on the road to Damascus, Christopher Hitchens died a second death having been wrong to the last on the most important issue of his time.
Mr. Hitchens is survived by an empty ideology, several thousand cigarette cartons and too many bottles of scotch to count. He has been missed.

Nominee: Best Spiritual Documentary of 2005
Uncomfortable in civilization, Timothy Treadwell seeks to blur the lines between human and animal. He befriends grizzly bears in Alaska's Katmai National Park. Armed with a video camera, he aims to preserve the innocence and purity of the natural world. His footage is beautiful and haunting, right until the last reel, when his "friends" devour Timothy and his companion, Amie Huguenard.
Those who prefer their spirituality fuzzy, ethereal, and idealistic may find "Grizzly Man" off-putting. It suggests that physical hunger and animalistic instinct top all efforts to reason with a desperate bear. Biology becomes destiny, despite Timothy's boyish efforts to anthropomorphize savage beasts. Treadwell's naivete falls prey to chaotic and destructive forces.
Yet, "Grizzly Man" never descends into despair. Man versus nature becomes an opportunity for dueling worldviews, courtesy of director Werner Herzog. In an era of invasive, tell-all videos, Herzog demonstrates remarkable restraint. Some things are better left unseen. Ace editor Joe Bini combs through 100 hours of footage to cull the most telling moments. Treadwell could easily have been reduced to a foppish eco-warrior. Hubris and madness intermingle. He rails against God, begging for rain to feed the animals. Miraculously, "Grizzly Man" manages to dignify his spiritual longing while exploding the myth of idyllic nature. It reminds us why civilization must be cultivated. Treadwell fled society in search of something sweet and pure. Timothy (and the viewers) find all-too-fleeting glimpses of the elusive peace he seeks.
A trailer for Werner Herzog's "Grizzly Man" compelled me to see it. Its brief summation of the life of a man, Timothy Treadwell, who chose to live alone amongst some of the most dangerous animals on the planet, captivated me. And when I discovered his death was a direct result of his unbounded obsession with those terrible grizzly bears, I couldn't recall the last time I had been so intrigued by a documentary. Trailers can be surprisingly effective.
