You are a multidimensional being. The earthly veil that is lifting for all that are willing and open to experience it- is more than just a veil that represents you forgetting who you really are. This earthly veil is one of separation and complete distortion. It is up to you to choose to awaken and see yourself as the magnificent, radiant, eternal being that you are!
Every soul coming into a body is predestined to forget its true origin and its true spiritual mission. You must find your way back home- and by reading this now you are most definitely on your way! You got to play on the game-board of physical life- in this very dense 3rd dimensional reality so that you might choose to rediscover, reawaken and embrace the immense truth of who you really are! You are a spiritual being living a temporary human existence. The depths of separation you experience are entirely up to you.
This game-board here on earth can become a self-imposed prison if one doesn't awake and begin asking the real questions about who they are and why they're here! One can become so disconnected from their spiritual heritage that their life becomes mundane, uninspired, purpose-less and empty. Yet YOU have awoken! You are reading this and remembering that you really do have a spiritual purpose for being alive! You are here to awaken and pull back the thick veil of distortion- this is no small feat, my friends! This is an extraordinary accomplishment that you must give yourself much thanks for!
Now- you must not disregard this awakening! You must not disregard your mission and the light within you screaming with joy to be let out into the world. Your light is meant to shine so that you can awaken others!
Living in a society with such a wide range of souls that have either awakened or remain in a deep soul slumber (or are somewhere in between) means that you must make very conscious decisions about your environment and your circles of interaction. Every choice you make leads you to higher levels of consciousness expansion and awakening- or they lead you to limiting states of contraction and fear. Take responsibility for these choices and their consequences!
Commit to surrounding yourself with those who will support your yearning to connect with your spiritual truth. As you evolve in your own understanding and acceptance of your divine nature- you will naturally find yourself magnetically drawing others (who are also on their spiritual path of awakening) into your experience. Trust these new connections and allow them to support you as you continue to grow in self awareness and self love.
Remember that there is a distinct difference between attachment and connection. True connection expands you. It further awakens you. There is a simultaneous flow of giving and receiving that continues to nurture each individual and inspire them to go deeper so that they may reveal and awaken even greater levels of consciousness. Attachments have rules- and they contain with them all the ego strings that will keep you captive in old ego-based patterns- and captive without the freedom of true connectivity.
Connectivity expands your heart, opens your mind and lifts your spirit to soaring levels that you can't seem to get enough of! Attachments are felt in your emotional body. The negative emotions of the ego are meant to hold you in captive inside a tiny box- where you cannot escape the chains of 3rd density living. Spiritual AUTHENTICITY cannot survive in the realm of attachments.
It is also important that you surround yourself with environments that will nourish your escalating energy vibration. Become ultra aware of the people, situations, music, communication and interactions that you expose yourself to.
Truly evaluate your environment. Release your attachment to anything that weighs you down and inhibits your spiritual growth and conscious awareness.
As you shift into greater levels of awareness, self-trust and true connectivity- you will benefit from- and naturally experience- deep feelings of gratitude for each and every experience- for they all hold value- they all hold opportunities for growth, learning and spiritual liberation! You will also find yourself noticing with great clarity the moments when a pattern of attachment type energy rears its ugly head! You will notice it when you find yourself being attached to an outcome- because then the need for rules arises! (do this- don't do that- he/she should do this- he/she shouldn't do that) - The way you can release this energy of ego attachment is to just "BE" love- "BE" of service to others -- surrender your need for any particular outcome-- Just immerse yourself in the beautiful energy of giving- and radiate in the now moment-- for that is all there truly is anyway!
Finding your way through and past density consciousness is a true challenge! Yet, you are a spiritual warrior and you can choose- with conscious awareness- to stay on your path- keep your energy field strong- and stay focused on those things that will bring you peace and expand your spiritual awareness and sense of purpose.
Your true path of self ascension will reveal itself with great clarity, strength and passion when you allow it to reveal itself. If you fall off the path briefly- simply choose again and open your heart. The heart will be your navigator- your navigator of choice- for it will lead you in the direction of your spiritual purpose.
You are solely responsible for your vibrational state of being in every moment. It will become abundantly clear when you are in alignment with your heart's true intent for your life experiences will reflect it!
Allow the metamorphosis of your soul's journey to occur with grace, ease and beauty. It's all up to you... Trust and believe in yourself. Your light awaits recognition- its ready to fulfill its divine purpose!
Stay Inspired- as always- Much love and light to you,

Improve widget documentation

|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
This is my first ticket, so go easy.
When you type 'django widgets' into google the first page you get is > https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/widgets/
While this describes the widgets in detail it does not cover application (specifically in my case 'RadioSelect'). It took me a 20mins+ of scouring to find the following > http://blog.entzeroth.com/2010/04/django-forms-widgets-that-could-use.html?showComment=1308143572439#c5724730594809830764. Which with it's simple snippet of code covered a lot of my questions.
Could this be added to the docs? Sorry for asking but I don't have time to learn two document systems and learn new markup. (sorry :( )
(I also get an overwhelming feeling I am posting this in completely the wrong place)

By the way, thanks for the report, you've come to the right place. It's always useful to get feedback from new users on how to improve the documentation.
comment:4 Changed 5 years ago by bpeschier
- Has patch set
Jumped in and created a patch for this.
- Reshuffles the sections to better show how the widgets are used.
- Brushed up some internal references and removed faulty docs (relating to the format on date and time widgets)
- Added an example and explanation about choices.
comment:5 Changed 5 years ago by julien
- Patch needs improvement set
Excellent! Here are just a few minor remarks:
- Add a reference link to "see the documentation for the built-in Field classes".
- Show the required imports in the "Setting arguments for widgets" example.
- Add "code-block" directives to all examples.
- Add a tilda in front of the :class:'~django.forms.widgets.extras.SelectDateWidget' reference so that only SelectDateWidget gets displayed and to make it more digestible.
- Add double back-quotes around years in "the years attribute is set..." (or use an :attr: clause).
- In the "Widgets with choices" section, can you add references to the relevant widgets? "A couple of widgets deal with choices" is a bit vague.
comment:6 Changed 5 years ago by bpeschier
- Patch needs improvement unset
Done :-)
comment:7 Changed 5 years ago by julien
Nice! I have few more small remarks:
- Can you add a tilda in front of :attr:'~SelectDateWidget.years'?
- The phrase "The reference below describes which options can be set." feels a bit out of place. It would sit better under the SimpleForm example, also including a link to the "Built-in widgets" section.
- Move the date field in SimpleForm to the top (i.e. above radio and checkboxes) and rename it year, so that it's identifiable more quickly.
- The "Widgets with choices" section could be made a little clearer. For example, "Widgets inheriting from the Select widget" would sound clearer than "Widgets based on the Select widget". Also "these are 'owned' by a field" feels a bit confusing. It'd be nice to also clarify the relationship between ChoiceField and and the Select widget (i.e. when/how are they used together). A code sample might also help, if you can add one.
Sorry to be so picky. Your patch is already really good and it's close to be RFC.
Thanks! :)

No problem!
Fixed a reference to CharField and mentioned format localization as well, while we are at it :-)
comment:10 Changed 5 years ago by julien
OK, I promise this is the last time I send it back :-)
- Rename choice to choice_field in the "Widgets inheriting from the Select widget" section's code sample.
- Clarify what "compress" or a "compressed" value means, in the "MultiWidget" section.
- Also in the "MultiWidget" section, use back-quotes and/or cross-references for types and method names.

Used an example from SpliteDateTimeWidget to explain compress.
comment:13 Changed 5 years ago by anonymous
You guys are amazing! Thank you very much!
Just two things:
- Where can I see these changes (or do I need to install stuff and do repository/git things)
- Any chance the import locations (e.g. from django.forms.widgets import RadioSelect and from django.forms.extras.widgets import SelectDateWidget) can be included with description/examples. This would be seriously helpful to us new-bees. (Can't use stuff if you don't know how to get it)
Changed 5 years ago by julien
comment:14 Changed 5 years ago by julien
OK, I've posted a new patch with PEP8's 80 characters limit (except for code samples), explicit imports as suggested in comment:13, more realistic field names and values for the SimpleForm example and a few more insignificant tweaks.
@anonymous: to see the changes you need to apply the attached patch to your checkout of Django trunk. See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-documentation/ for more details on how the doc works.

UPDATE: The man responsible, Honey Ahmed, was arrested, charged with two counts of theft with $50,000 bail, according to the Associated Press.
Update: Violet, the Yorkshire terrier, has been reunited with her owner. She was found tied to the television and left on the front lawn, according to WLOX.
A Yorkshire terrier named Violet was stolen while her human mom was on a date, according to the Daily Record. The Dover woman was on a first date with a man she met via online dating but instead of making a love connection, she lost her precious pup and her flat-screen television.
Police were on the scene the morning following the date. The woman said she only knew the man by the name "Joel" and that she believed he was from Elizabeth. According to the woman, she was in another room but when she returned, her date was gone and so was her canine companion and television.
Police are asking for help in identifying the man as they follow leads. "Joel" is about 5 feet 9 inches tall, Hispanic and was wearing blue jeans, black boots and a black-hooded jacket. He was driving a gold Mercedes with black and beige leather interior. The windows of the car, which might be 2004 or 2005, are tinted.
Anyone with any information is urged to call Detective Sgt. William Woodhull Jr. at 973-366-2200 ext 4122 or the Dover police at 973-366-0302.

STARKVILLE, Miss. – For the second consecutive season, the Mississippi State women's golf team earned a place in the NCAA Central Regional, the program's first consecutive regional appearances since the 2005 and 2006 seasons.
The Bulldogs are headed to Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, Okla., as the 11th seed to tee off on May 8-10. The top-8 teams of each of the three NCAA regionals will earn a place in the NCAA Championships on May 20-23 at Tulsa Country Club in Tulsa, Okla.
"We are determined to finish off the record-setting year with another national championship push through regionals," fourth-year head coach Ginger Brown-Lemm said. "We are hungry, more experienced and ready for Tulsa Country Club, but first comes Karsten Creek. We train daily to play our best when it means the most."
MSU will be joined by Southeastern Conference foes No. 4 Arkansas, No. 10 Alabama, No. 16 LSU, No. 22 Florida and top-seeded No. 2 UCLA. Rounding out the competitive field will be No. 11 Arizona, host No. 15 Oklahoma State, No. 21 North Carolina, Ohio State, Miami (Fla.), California, Kent. State, Kansas, Texas, UNLV, Colorado, SMU, Minnesota, Harvard, Lamar, Wichita State, LIU-Brooklyn and Siena.
This season has been a memorable one for Brown-Lemm's squad that has comprised two tournament championships, seven top-10 scorecards and new 18-, 36-, and 54-hole record scores.
In the event last season, the Maroon and White claimed a third-place finish with an 8-over-par 872 tournament score to clinch its first ever NCAA Championship appearance. All-American Ally McDonald set the lowest 54-hole score in school history with a 10-under-par 206 to win the top individual crown.

In a moment, a leftist lunatic destroyed a half a dozen lives. Six were killed. Others were wounded. Gabrielle Giffords, who could probably be described as a rising star in the Democratic Party remains in critical condition, with a gunshot wound to the head.
The wounded were not even at the hospital before the left began its attack on the Tea Party movement.
The leftist sheriff of Pima County was one of the first to start in on the liberal attack. He said, "When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government. The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And unfortunately, Arizona I think has become the capital. We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry." This is the same guy who announced he would refuse to enforce SB 1070 (The Arizona Immigration law) because it offended him.
McClatchy Newspapers repeated the standard liberal talking points. They said Conservatives were upset because she supported health care reform and during the debate her office was vandalized. Although no one was ever caught, the liberal media still feels it appropriate to blame this on a conservative.
For the Tea Party movement, we need to get ready because this week, the attack is going to intensify. Despite the fact that his friends from high school have described him as being quite liberal, the media is still going to be pushing the line that this is the fault of the Tea Party movement.
The hotheads on the left have been using Twitter, Facebook and other social media to spout off for the last 24 hours. Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas fired off a tweet saying, "Mission accomplished Sarah Palin." Hotheads like him will fade. Next week we will see a more serious attack from those who are the masters at the dark arts of media and politics.
This attack has already started and you can see the liberal meme forming. They will say the tone and rhetoric from conservatives and the Tea Party is responsible for this crime. In Politico today, first an unnamed "Republican" (read RINO) Senator said, "tone matters." Politico then quoted an unnamed Democratic operative who followed the same "tone matters" line, blaming the "overheated rhetoric" for the shooting, then saying Obama should "deftly pin this on the Tea Partiers," just like Clinton placed the blame for the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.
In 1995, Clinton then tried to blame conservative talk radio, especially Rush Limbaugh, for the terrorist bombing. The tactic worked then, backing conservatives off and possibly helping to ensure a second Clinton term.
The line we will see for the next few weeks is going to be that rhetoric and tone of the message from the Tea Party is responsible for this attack. Let's ignore the fact that this guy was not only nuts, but also a card carrying liberal. The hard left is going to try and silence the Tea Party movement by blaming us for this.
In a decent world, we could all take a moment to mourn for those killed by a liberal lunatic. Political civility is long since dead and the left will not let us do this.
So be it.
The left is coming and will hit us hard on this. We need to push back harder with the simple truth. The shooter was a liberal lunatic. Emphasis on both words.
Views: 96
WE must use this ocassion to prove to everyone that the liberal media has no interest in fairness or honesty.
WE must show that the liberal media is the cause of this because of their dishonest reporting. It is high time we go on offense folks. We are in a fight for our very existance.
Keith, yiou raise a very valid point. Tea party patriots have a history of reacting, responding to the power grab going on in Washington. Would it not be more effective to be proactive in our endeavors? Establish our own agenda of adhering to the constitution; establish,strengthen conservative political activites, engage in community organizing with a focus on supporting individualism (give someone a fish, they will eat today, teach them to fish and they will eat every day), responsibility and accountability.
We are indeed in a fight for existance as is our country as defined by the constitution.
Did you bother to read what the left said yesterday? The wounded were not even to the hospital when the started the attacks. What would you prefer we do? Stick our heads in the sand? Perhaps we should just let the libs shut us up? Maybe you would prefer that. The left is going to use this to blame the Tea Party for the murder. I am not going to let them get away with it and I suggest you wake up and help with the fight.
FYI, it is a war. the left wants to take over our country and destroy the freedoms that we have.
We contact all the reps, and demand that they hold the FBI Director accountable for his words!
The truth has come out that lougher is a leftist nut. And that both libs and conservatives have condemned the lies about us.
It's up to us to call, email, and visit our reps demanding justice.

Weekly Food Truck Extravaganza Comes to Menlo Park Caltrain Station
Source: Bruce Deal
February 24, 2014
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

This past Wednesday night was the first installment of the weekly food truck market at the Menlo Park Caltrain station. The market, which is scheduled to continue for at least the next year, is the newest addition to Off the Grid, a San Francisco-based company that hosts 23 similar weekly markets around the bay area. The opening proved to be a hit among Menlo Park residents, but local restaurant owners worry about the possibility of losing customers to the food trucks.
Acoustic live music accompanied the trucks, and the parking lot was decorated with lights and filled with rows of folding chairs. The cuisine featured novelty foods ranging from Peruvian and gourmet Vietnamese to traditional southern chicken and waffles. Families, twenty-somethings, teenagers, and retirees flocked to the lines, which saw waits as long as twenty minutes.
The Menlo Park Planning Commission officially approved the motion at a meeting in mid-January against the wishes of several Menlo Park establishments. According to Mercury News, the owners of Bistro Vida, Round Table, and Trellis voiced their concerns at the meeting to no avail.
These restaurant owners, along with several others, are concerned about the potential threat to their Wednesday night crowd. Owners of the soon-to-open Borrone MarketBar, Cafe Borrone's sister restraunt, voice these worries loudly.

LI's hot dog legacy may pale in comparison with our tri-state neighbors, but we are proud of our hot dog trucks and our prominence in the history of Nathan's Famous. Here are three recent arrivals that make frankfurters something special.
First National Franks
3147 Rte. 112, Medford
You have to love any place with a giant hot dog on the roof. These folks understand that just taking over a storefront is not in the proper spirit of legendary hot dog stands like Tail O' The Pup in LA. I was intrigued by the version called El Raphael because it's the only variation I found anywhere that's deep-fried—a ripper—like those found at Swanky Frank's in Connecticut and Rutt's Hut in Jersey. All of the weenies here are hefty quarter-pound, all-beef, skinless Boars Head, boiled, then grilled. El Raphael is wrapped in bacon, deep fried and covered with onions, chopped jalapenos and chili that was too sweet. The dog itself without any casing won't "rip" properly but I give them an "A" for effort. There are almost a dozen other choices but I found myself just enjoying the quality frank with little more than sauerkraut. The crusty sandwich rolls used instead of buns to better support the big dogs tend to overwhelm the tube steaks. Don't miss the fresh-cut fries and if you want to get crazy, deep-fried Ring Dings, Snickers, Devil Dogs and Twinkies.
Bad Dawgs
44 Gerard St., Huntington
This is a fledgling franchise with no seating and little counter space but with two dozen varieties named after dogs. They've settled on skinless Nathan's Famous as their dog of choice. The Basset Hound is a Chicago-style dog which means it's overloaded with chopped onion and tomato, authentic little sport peppers, a pickle spear and sprinkled with celery salt. It's quite a mess to eat but worth the fuss, even crouched over the tiny counter. The Saint Barnard, with chili, shredded cheddar and Cole slaw is equally messy but with different levels of flavor. You can get creative and fix up just about any concoction from the list of toppings.
739 Middle Country Rd., St. James
At first I didn't give the name of this place too much thought—it sounded like frankfurters and hamburgers. But after doing battle with one of their monster offerings I understood fully. The grilled hot dogs are immense—not just foot-longs, but way thick as well. They get them from a secret butcher in Brooklyn. If you're not prepared you may be a little shocked and hard-pressed to finish just one. You have to cut them in half; they're too unwieldy otherwise. Meaty and dense, these skinless monsters are filling, if a bit salty. There are various preparations, most notably a Colombian-style dog called Frank-N-Dog, loaded with potato chips, mozzarella, sautéed onions, ham and pineapple.

News: Women's Swim Continues Impressive Marks, Records
The freshmen trio of Emily Frederick, Arolyn Basham, and Shannon Cheung along with sophomore Paige Watroba continued their relentless assault on the Pasadena City College women's swimming record book with their performances March 8-9 at the Chaffey Invitational.
The Lancers set new school records in the 200-yard freestyle relay and 800 freestyle relay on Friday. The 800 relay time of 8:15.46 smashed the old 2003 mark by 8.5 seconds and gave PCC a win in that event at the Riverside City College pool. Earlier that day in pouring rain, the four Lancers placed second in the 200 relay, but with a new PCC standard of 1:44.10. That also erased a 2003 record set at 1:44.47.
Frederick picked up her sixth individual PCC record by winning the 50-freestyle in 24.98 seconds. The mark broke a 2-year-old record set in 2011 by Mikela Velasquez (25.01).
Frederick won her third solo event at the Chaffey Invitational on Saturday in taking first place in the 200 individual medley (2:14.92). She just missed a fourth win, settling for second in the 100-butterfly at 1:00.85.
Cheung won the 100-freestyle with a a strong swim at 55.42 seconds and she was second in the 50-butterfly at 28.70. Basham captured a win in the 50-breaststroke (32.89 seconds) and took second in the 50-breaststroke. Basham placed second in the 100-breaststroke (1:11.42).
PCC finished in fifth place with 397 points scored.
The team has broken 11 school records thus far, including nine participated in by Fredericks.
The Lancers return to South Coast Conference action this Friday, March 15 in a double dual meet against East Los Angeles and El Camino Colleges in Torrance.

Production & Evaluation of Hemlock ResistanceAuthor: admin | Filed under: Hemlock Woolly Adelgid
Production and Evaluation of Eastern Hemlocks (Tsuga canadensis) Potentially Resistant to the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (Adelges tsugae)
Todd Caswell, Richard Casagrande, Brian Maynard, and Evan Preisser University of Rhode Island, Kingston, RI 02881
Abstract. As the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) has spread throughout the forests of the northeast, it has killed countless eastern hemlocks while possibly sparing a small minority of trees with some degree of innate resistance. There are, as yet, no published records of HWA resistance in T. canadensis, but on rare occasions, a relatively healthy tree (referred to as 'putatively resistant') is found amidst a devastated stand. As HWA susceptibility is influenced by many factors including plant nutritional status and prior attack by HWA and other insects, we chose to vegetatively propagate cuttings from putatively resistant forest trees in order to grow and evaluate these plants for HWA resistance under standardized greenhouse conditions. We found that a combination of IBA and NAA rooting hormones gave the best rooting results of cuttings taken in mid winter. When 6-month old rooted plants were inoculated with adelgids, there was much lower settlement on putatively resistant plants than on control plants (collected from T. canadensis growing in northern MA).
Keywords. Hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae, Tsuga canadensis, vegetative propagation, pest resistance.
Introduction. The hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA), Adelges tsugae Annand, has become a serious pest of the native North American eastern hemlock species Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carriere and T. caroliniana Engelm.. Several Tsuga species resist HWA including western hemlock, T. heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.; mountain hemlock, T. mertensia (Bong.); Chinese hemlock T. chinensis (Franch.) E. Pritz.; and Japanese hemlocks (T. diversifolia (Maxim.) Mast., and T. sieboldii Carriere) (McClure 1992, Pontius et al. 2002) Although these resistant species can be quite useful in managed landscapes, they are not suitable for replacing eastern hemlocks in forested settings. If HWA-resistant eastern hemlocks could be identified and propagated, they would be useful for both managed landscapes and stand-level reforestation of HWA-devastated areas. To date no one has demonstrated HWA resistance in eastern hemlocks. Although a few relatively healthy trees can be found in otherwise devastated areas, it is unclear if their health is linked to innate resistance or growing conditions (McClure and Chea 1992, Pontius et al. 2006, Preisser et al. 2008). HWA resistance should ideally be evaluated under standardized conditions in order to isolate the effect of innate plant resistance. Although it is possible to collect and grow seed from putatively resistant plants, this approach is problematic since the resulting seedlings may have at least one susceptible parent. For documenting resistance levels among selected clones, vegetative propagation quickly yields a population of progeny that are genetically identical to parent plants. Del Tridici (1985) and Jetton et al. (2005) successfully propagated hemlocks from branch cuttings and Butin et al. (2007) experimentally inoculated hemlocks with adelgids – two techniques that are central to our research. In this paper we discuss the selection, propagation, maintenance, and evaluation of hemlocks that may be resistant to the HWA. Materials and Methods Rooting Trial One. As part of a larger research effort (Preisser et al. 2008), we surveyed 142 hemlock stands in CT and MA in 2005 for potentially HWA-resistant eastern hemlock trees. In forest stands where the mortality rate of mature hemlocks exceeded 95%, we sought mature (>10 m) trees that appeared healthy and largely free of HWA and the elongate hemlock scale Fiorinia externa (Marlatt). We report data on six putatively resistant hemlocks identified in our 2005 survey – two trees at each of three sites near the towns of East Haddam, Madison, and Old Lyme in CT. We also sampled a tree from the Arnold Arboretum (Jamaica Plain, MA) that was identified as potentially resistant by Peter Del Tredici.
Table 1. Trees from which cuttings were taken in 2005 and 2006.
Cuttings were taken in late July 2005 and in late January 2006 using a 4m pole
pruner to clip healthy terminal growth from branches at varying heights. Cuttings were
placed in plastic bags with wet paper towels and kept refrigerated at 4.4°C for a few
days until they could be treated. Cuttings were trimmed to a uniform length of new
growth: ~8 cm. for July cuttings and ~25 cm for January cuttings. The bottom 1/3 of
each cutting was stripped of foliage, wounded on one side and the end cut at a 45°
angle with a grafting knife. Each cutting was then dipped in one of five rooting
hormone treatments for five seconds. The rooting treatments consisted of the
following combinations of IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) and NAA (1-napthaleneacetic acid): (1) Hormex© 45 (4.5% IBA) powder; (2) 1:1 aqueous dilution of Dip 'N Grow® (1% IBA) and 0.5% NAA) with water; (3) 1% aqueous solution of KIBA (potassium salt of IBA); (4) Hormodin® #3 (0.3% IBA) powder; and (5) no hormones (control).
The number of cuttings receiving each treatment varied according to the amount of usable plant material collected from each tree (Table 2).
Table 2. Cuttings taken in 2005 and 2006
These cuttings were then stuck in 12cm-deep square flats (36cm by 36cm) filled with rooting media (2:1 horticultural perlite:milled peat moss by volume) and placed in a propagation bed in a greenhouse at the University of Rhode Island's East Farm (Kingston RI). The propagation bed measured 1.5 m wide by 30 m long, and had bottom heat and plastic-sheeting sides. There was also a misting system controlled by a leaf wetness gauge that averaged ~10 seconds of mist every 10 minutes. The greenhouse maintained a minimum temperature of 12°C while the cuttings received a constant bottom heat of 21°C, After 3 months we began weekly fertilization with 200ppm of 20-20-20 Peter's soluble fertilizer. The cuttings were kept under mist for another 2 months before potting.
Five months after taking cuttings, the plants were removed individually from the rooting media and the number of roots counted. Rooted plants were transplanted into 1.95l pots (15.2cm tall 13.3cm square), filled with Sun GroMetro Mix® 510 growing media and fertilized with a low level of Osmocote® fertilizer (1.0mg/m2 of standard release 19-6-12) in preparation for HWA resistance trials (described below).
Rooting Trial Two. Based upon the results of trial one, we repeated the rooting experiment using branches from the same CT trees as above. We also used samples of new plant material provided by cooperators in PA, and NJ (Table 3).
Table 3. Trees from which cuttings were taken in 2007.
One hundred cuttings per tree were treated with Dip 'N Grow® the best rooting treatment identified in the previous trail. The plants used in this trial were propagated in the same greenhouse and maintained as in trial one. Cuttings were trimmed to 25cm and treated as in the previous season with one exception: because some of the cuttings were infested with elongate hemlock scale, all cuttings were dipped into a 1% mixture of horticultural oil insecticide (Sunspray™ Ultra-fine) and allowed to dry before rooting treatment.
Rooting treatments for trial two included: (1) a 1:1 ratio of Dip 'N Grow® and water; (2) a 1:2 ratio of Dip 'N Grow® and water (3) and no-hormone tap water control. The 100 cuttings per tree were divided into eight five-cutting groups for each of the two concentrations of hormone (=80 total cuttings), and four five-cutting groups for the control (=20 total cuttings). Each group was placed randomly within a flat. All of the cuttings were inserted into identical flats of the same rooting media and maintained in the same location, under the same conditions of the first trial. Six replicates were used in each flat to maintain equal spacing within the flat.
The cuttings were allowed 5 months to develop roots before being removed from the media for examination and transplantation in late June, 2007. Prior to being transplanted into individual pots, each surviving cutting was rinsed and given a rating of 0-3 as a combined measure of root number, root length, and overall size of the root system. A 0 rating indicates that the cutting was still alive at the end of five months but did not produce any roots. A 1 rating of 1 indicates the cutting developed few short roots in fair condition. A 2 rating indicates a denser root system of 5-10 main roots with many root hairs. Finally, a 3 rating indicates a dense root system of greater that 10 highly branched main roots densely covered with root hairs (Fig. 1).
Figure 1. Root ratings 0 (left) through 3 (right). HWA exposure: In May 2006 the successfully-rooted cuttings from rooting trial one were individually potted in 15.3 cm tall x 14 cm square pots with Sun Gro® Metro Mix 510 growing media. Plants were maintained in the greenhouse under ambient light and temperature and fertilized weekly through a proportioner set to deliver 200 ppm of nitrogen using a liquid 20-20-20 fertilizer. At the same time, we also potted HWA-resistant western hemlocks and HWA-susceptible T. canadensis. The western hemlocks used were two year old bare rooted seedlings shipped from Western Maine Nurseries in Fryeburg, ME. The control eastern hemlocks used were randomlyselected seedlings collected from the Cadwell Memorial Forest (Pelham, MA).
In April 2006 HWA-infested branches were cut from eastern hemlock trees on the URI Kingston campus, and from Saint Patrick Cemetery in Fall River, MA. The branches were placed in 20L buckets of water to keep the cut ends submerged and held at 4.4°C to delay crawler emergence. In early June these infested branches were used to inoculate five plants from each plant source (only two western hemlocks) using the protocol described in Butin et al. (2007). Inoculated plants included the six putatively-resistant CT trees, one tree from the Arnold Arboretum, and the western hemlock and eastern hemlock controls. In these inoculations an 8cm twig of heavily HWA-infested hemlock foliage was inserted into a florist's water pic and twist-tied to the stem of each potted hemlock. HWA eggs hatched within a few days and all plants were initially exposed to immense numbers of crawlers. Inoculated plants were held in the greenhouse until mid-August 2006 when they were examined with a hand lens and settled adelgids were counted.
Trial 1. By mid-May 2006 the successfully-rooted cuttings had developed a root mass adequate for transfer into individual pots. January cuttings were more successful than the smaller July cuttings. Most cuttings from the July collection failed to develop roots even after eight months in the mist bed, and the few that did root died several weeks after being potted. The best rooting results were obtained from January cuttings with 1:1 solution of Dip 'N Grow® and Hormex© 45 powder treatments, both of which gave over 60% rooting success for some trees. However, the Dip 'N Grow® treatment yielded the best rooting overall (Table 4).
Table 4. Results of 2006 winter cuttings (number rooted/number treated).
Trial 2. The second trial had a slightly lower overall rooting success rate than trial one. The 1:1 concentration of Dip 'N Grow® in 2007 resulted in 35.9% (Table 5) vs. 50.5% in the previous year. Only one of six CT trees (M2) had rooting success exceeding the 2006 average. Although the difference between the two hormone concentrations was negligible, both hormone treatments significantly increased percent rooting compared to the control group (Fig. 2). The same relationship among treatments can be seen in root ratings (Fig. 3.)
Fig. 2. Mean number of cuttings rooted. Treatment 0 = control, Treatment 1 = 1:1 ratio
of Dip 'N Grow® to water, Treatment 2 = 1:2 ratio of Dip 'N Grow® to water.
Hemlock Adelgid Exposures. By August 2006 there were substantial differences in numbers of settled adelgids among the plant groups (Fig. 2). There were far fewer adelgids on the putatively resistant eastern hemlocks from CT than on the fieldcollected controls. However, the plant from Arnold Arboretum appeared quite susceptible to HWA. The western hemlock had the fewest settled adelgids – slightly lower, on average, than the CT plants (Fig. 4). Due to mortality of some of the plants between the time of inoculation and examination, numbers of replicates among treatments are not equal and one of the trees could not be evaluated.
Rooting. Our research shows that winter cuttings are an efficient way to propagate T. canadensis, with average rooting success ranging from about 30% to 50% when using the most effective rooting hormone. All hormone treatments increased rooting success relative to untreated controls, with Dip 'N Grow® (IBA + NAA) being the most effective. It remained equally effective when diluted 1:1 and 1:2 with water. Del Tredici (1985) also had good success using IBA for rooting T. canadensis. Jetton et al. (2005) found no benefit from using NAA alone as a rooting treatment. Thus we are confident that IBA is important for rooting T. canadensis and it appears to be more effective when combined with NAA as in the commercial Dip 'N Grow® product.
Table 5. Results of 2007 winter cuttings. Treatment 0 = control, Treatment 1 = 1:1 ratio of Dip 'N Grow® to water, Treatment 2 = 1:2 ratio of Dip 'N Grow® to water. Root ratings (described in text) range from 0 – no roots through 3 – extensive roots.
Fig. 4. Average number of settled adelgids per plant. Numbers in the columns refer to the number of rooted cuttings used in the evaluation of each tree.
Error bars represent standard errors. We had no success with summer cuttings – the few that rooted quickly died. However, Jetton et al (2005) had relatively good success (41% rooting of T. canadensis) with relatively small (3-6 cm) June cuttings. Although Del Tredici (1985) obtained better rooting success with January cuttings than with those taken in June, he pointed out in the same paper that summer cuttings of T. canadensis "might well prove to be the most economical way to produce healthy plants." Summer cuttings develop a good flush of growth in the spring following an overwintering chill period. Winter cuttings generally don't develop a good growth flush for about 18 months. Summer cuttings also do not require the use of bottom heat. Thus summer cuttings may warrant additional investigation – perhaps with more shade and better protection from summer heat than we provided in 2005.
Several factors other than timing and hormone treatment also contribute to the success of rooting hemlock cuttings. Larger cuttings did considerably better than the small summer cuttings, likely because of a larger reserve of carbohydrates, greater surface area for root development, and more leaf surface area for photosynthesis (Hoad and Leakey 1996). The presence of elongate scale on some of the experimental trees at the time of collection may have also played a role in reducing energy reserves to produce roots. Recent summer droughts in CT may have also affected rooting success (Hartmann et al. 2002). Furthermore, the trees used in this experiment were chosen for their potential resistance to HWA rather than their overall vigor, a factor which could have reduced rooting success.
Fertility management is crucial for plants used in adelgid experiments. Although a minimal amount of fertilizer is needed to maintain plant growth and vigor in pots of soilless media, overfertilizing promotes HWA attack (McClure 1991) and can mask innate plant resistance. Pontius et al. (2006) hypothesize that high N and P favor HWA attack while C and K inhibit these insects. Thus, we have opted for a moderate rate of fertilizer. After three months in the mist bed, cuttings are fertilized weekly with 200ppm of 20-20- 20 soluble fertilizer until potting. Subsequently, each plant receives 1.5 teaspoons of Osmocote® Plus 15-9-12 controlled release fertilizer. This dose provides 5-6 months of feeding at the lowest dosage listed on the label.
Adelgid Exposures. The adelgid transfer method of Butin et al 2007 was quite effective in establishing HWA on our test plants and all plants were quickly exposed to large numbers of crawlers. By the time we counted these adelgids six weeks after inoculation, there were substantial differences in adelgid populations among the various trees. Our results suggest that the putatively resistant trees from CT may be HWA-resistant and that these resistance levels may approach those of western hemlocks. This interpretation is supported by the fact that rooted T. canadensis cuttings from the Arnold Arboretum tree received identical treatment but became heavily infested. While exciting, these are only preliminary results from trials that were intended more to develop the process than to evaluate the trees. We started with only five plants from each clone and there was plant mortality during the trial. The relatively high mortality in CT plants (7/25) compared to the field controls and Arnold Arboretum plants (0/10) may reflect a greater stress on these plants which may have reduced adelgid survival. Other factors such as past infestation history on those sites may have also played a role in adelgid settlement in this trial. The real significance of this work is that we have a process to clonally propagate trees and evaluate them for HWA resistance.
In continuing tests we are maintaining rooted plants for an additional year before testing them for adelgid resistance. Following rooting, these plants are potted and maintained outdoors under partial shade and provided a moderate level of fertilizer. They are overwintered in an unheated greenhouse under a protective blanket in preparation for adelgid inoculation in the following spring. In addition to propagating putatively resistant trees, we are similarly propagating and maintaining several T. canadensis clones started from plants on the northern edge of the current HWA distribution. These plants, which have never been exposed to HWA, will serve as controls in future tests. This additional time should allow plants to recover from the trauma of rooting and transplanting and minimize any carryover effects from growing conditions prior to our taking cuttings. Our evaluation of clonally-produced plants maintained under identical conditions eliminates the environmentally-induced variability in HWA/host plant interactions, allowing a very rapid and accurate assessment of resistance. If useful levels of resistance are found, we may refer back to our repository of potted clonal material for further experimentation and distribution.

text: Nov 22, 2012 08:14 Wallace, Moncrief shine as Rebels let game slip away Wallace, Moncrief shine as Rebels let game slip away Advocate story Comments MOVE OVER JIMMY GRAHAM ä LSU sophomore tight end Travis Dickson led the team with 5 catches for 69 yards. Dickson came into the game with zero catches the entire season. The emergence of Dickson was helpful to LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger, who threw to him effectively in short-yardage situations. It's a shame that LSU waited 10 games into the season to discover passing to the tight end, but better late than never. Ole MISS' HURRY-UP OFFENSE ä LSU had 4:14 edge in time of possession against Ole Miss (32:07-27:53), but that was deceiving, because of the success and effectiveness of the Rebels' hurry-up offense. Ole Miss out-gained LSU 463-427. The Rebels even had a 147-145 edge in rushing offense. When Ole Miss had its offense going the LSU defense was on its toes and seemed a step slow, especially when Rebels quarterback Bo Wallace was able to connect on go routes down the sidelines to its receivers. OLE MISS SACK MACHINE ä The Rebels came into the game with 30 sacks, which was second best in the Southeastern Conference, but LSU did a good job of protecting Mettenberger for most of the game. Ole Miss got its share of quarterback hurries and even had one sack, but its defensive line wasn't a major factor in the game. In fact, LSU's 41 points were 13 points more than the Rebels' average of 27.7 points allowed per game, which ranked 10th in the SEC. HAPPY SENIOR DAY ä LSU senior defensive end Lavar Edwards came up big with a 7-yard sack of Wallace with less than four minutes remaining on the Rebels' second to last possession of the game. The Edwards sack forced Ole Miss into a 53-yard field goal, which was missed by Bryson Rose with three minutes remaining. LSU then drove for the game-winning touchdown on the proceeding possession.

The best wedding registry is one that inspires guests to stick to your list while also making sure both you and your fiancé get wedding gifts that you like. When you're planning a wedding, it's easy to want to plan your dream wedding without considering what your fiancé may have planned for his big day. The same is true when it's time to make a bridal registry.
While you may have ideas of what your home together should look like, it's never safe to assume that your future husband has no opinion on the matter. The best wedding registries take into account both people's wishes as well as what is probable in terms of what guests will buy.
Before you start making a registry, ask your fiancé what types of gifts he hopes to get. While many guys may start thinking in terms of a big screen tv or pool table, you can help him focus on what's likely by giving him a price range of $20 to $40, or asking him what he'd like to have in a particular room of the house, such as the kitchen. Suggest kitchen appliances or talk about what his favorite meals are so you can help him understand that a particular type of cookware may be necessary to ensure he gets to enjoy his favorites from time to time.
Though he may not care as much about the decor, you can bet he will have strong opinions about what he doesn't like. For instance, though you may happen to think roosters are adorable, he may not want them staring at him from every canister and placemat in the kitchen. It may be better to discuss what colors make him feel relaxed or happy and go from there.
In regard to inspiring guests to stick to your wedding registry, it's important to be realistic. Most guests of average income will spend $20 to $30 on a wedding gift. With the exception of parents and grandparents or those elite few who may be used to moving in more wealthy circles, most wedding guests are going to scan the registry for the lowest priced items and work their way up to the limit of their budget.
You may think that registering for glassware at $10 for each piece seems reasonable, but when your guests see that you're requesting an 8-piece set, that $10 just jumped to $80 plus tax. No one wants to purchase just one or two glasses, so that glassware may be dismissed for something else on the registry.
So, when creating a wedding registry, keep in mind that many guests would rather purchase one moderately priced gift such as a small kitchen appliance, sheet set or nice clock than have to purchase enough towels, glasses, or kitchen gadgets to have a presentable gift.
Likewise, leave off the mops, brooms, toilet brushes and other oddly-shaped and uninspiring gifts. Weddings are beautiful events and guests want to bring something that can be wrapped up in a pretty package.
If this will be the first home for both of you and you truly need everything from cleaning supplies to furniture, consider registering at a store that will also allow you to put gift cards on your wedding registry. Some guests would rather have the ease of simply giving a gift card, so this option makes everyone happy.
Remember, the best wedding registry is one that truly works for everyone. Consider the income levels of the guests you'll be inviting, what kinds of items people are most likely to buy, what items both you and your fiancé will enjoy and which items would be better purchased with any cash you receive.

Julia's Louisville-Style Corn Pudding
Total Time: 20
Yield: 8 to 12 servings
Julia Child directed the preparation of this eggy, golden pudding a couple of summers ago at the Vermont home of her editor, Judith Jones. I'm not sure what makes it "Louisville-style," except that Julia recalls having eaten it in that city. But the onion sauteed in lots of butter certainly distinguishes this as a "Julia-style" recipe.

Upload Your Photo
- 4 to 8 ears fresh corn, depending on size
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus extra for the baking dish
- 1 medium onion, chopped fine (about 1-1/2 cups)
- 1/2 teaspoon plus 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
- 2 cups milk
Instructions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and butter a 2-quart baking dish. Remove husks and silk from several ears of corn. With a sharp knife, slice off kernels from each ear into a bowl, then scrape in all the milky juices from the cob with a spoon, to yield 4 cups of kernels and juice.
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat, stir in onion, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook about 6 minutes, shaking the pan often, until onion is soft and translucent but not browned. Let cool a bit.
Beat eggs well in a mixing bowl with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper; stir in milk, then the corn kernels and juices. Scrape in onion and all the melted butter from the skillet. Blend the custard thoroughly and pour into the baking dish. Set the filled baking dish into a larger roasting pan. Pour warm (not boiling) water into the outer pan, coming at least halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake 1 hour or more, until just set.

Yesterday Synology released the beta for DSM (DiskStation Manager) 4.1. You can see the announcement with a nice overview of features here. But, as usual, some of the best new stuff in a DSM beta doesn't make the big announcements page but is instead hidden in the change log. For example:
- VMware vSphere 5.0 VAAI Support:
- VAAI is now supported on DS3612xs, RS3412xs, RS3412RPxs, RS3411xs & RS3411RPxs, DS3611xs to provide intelligent storage server operation and optimize the performance and efficiencies in virtualization deployment.
- Full Copy is supported to enable the storage array to make full copies of data within the array to improve data cloning performance.
- Block Zero is supported to enable the Synology NAS to zero out large numbers of blocks to improve virtual disk initialization performance.
- Thin Provisioning is supported to allow for the reclamation of unused space and monitoring space usage of Thin Provisioned LUNs.
What is VAAI?
For those that may not know…VAAI is vStorage APIs for Array Integration. That's a fancy term that means that they are APIs that let you offload many common tasks to the array. In this way the vSphere host is out of the loop which takes load off the host and speeds up the process. For example, the VAAI Full Copy function lets the storage array perform a clone of a VM by itself without the data going to/from the vSphere host. The vSphere host just tells the array what it wants done and to let it know when it is finished. Much faster. Far less data passing across the storage fabric.
Testing VAAI Support
As soon as I saw this release I grabbed the beta. Right now I'm working on an initial review of a DS3611xs unit that Synology sent me. That took a backseat as I loaded up the new beta and started some performance testing.
To start the testing I created a new iSCSI LUN. You'll notice a new drop down box during creation. And yes, this works with both File LUNs (binary blob on filesystem) as well as block LUNs. One thing that I noticed was that this decision has to be made during LUN creation. If you create a LUN with VAAI disabled you cannot go back and enable it. That goes for LUNs you already have created before upgrading to DSM 4.1, too. That kind of sucks.
Once you create the LUN you connect to it from vCenter/vSphere just like any other iSCSI LUN. You'll now notice that hardware acceleration is supported.
Output from my test host:
~ # esxcli storage core device vaai status get naa.600140501f7c5fdd0ad1d39f1daf68d5 VAAI Plugin Name: ATS Status: supported Clone Status: supported Zero Status: supported Delete Status: supported naa.6001405729ac07addb01d3c73db4bbd1 VAAI Plugin Name: ATS Status: supported Clone Status: unsupported Zero Status: supported Delete Status: unsupported naa.60014057e339553d95ffd3825d9205d3 VAAI Plugin Name: ATS Status: supported Clone Status: supported Zero Status: supported Delete Status: supported naa.60014052ba18972d25e1d3897d8740da VAAI Plugin Name: ATS Status: supported Clone Status: unsupported Zero Status: supported Delete Status: unsupported ~ #
Even those LUNs with VAAI set to disabled have Zero Status and ATS (Atomic Test and Set) enabled. That's why it shows Hardware Acceleration enabled for all LUNs. Two of my LUNs show full support (VAAI1 & VAAI2 data stores), two support just Zero Status and ATS (NoVAAI1 & NoVAAI2 data stores)
First Test – VMDK Creation
First test, creating an Eager Zeroed Thick 100GB VMDK on the data stores. Connectivity between the vSphere host and the array is 1Gb Ethernet with jumbo frames enabled. Data will be landing on four SSD disks in a RAID0 volume (VAAI2 & NoVAAI2)
Time to complete the VMDK creation:
- VAAI Enabled – 2 minutes and 18 seconds
- VAAI Disabled – 14 minutes and 55 seconds
Network usage comparison:
As you can see there is a huge difference in time and network bandwidth. Basically, all 100GB of those zeroes has to be sent across the wire without VAAI. A faster interconnect (10Gb) would reduce the time, but not the amount of data transferred. With VAAI enabled the network impact is just a small blip. The array does the rest of the work.
Second Test – VM Clone
This time I cloned a 20GB VM. Time for completion:
- VAAI Enabled – 50 seconds
- VAAI Disabled – 8 minutes and 48 seconds
Again, just a small blip during the VAAI operation (ignore that long stretch after) while the non-VAAI operation took far longer and transferred a lot more data.
There are a couple of caveats with the VAAI support in DSM 4.1, at least in the beta. First, as I mentioned earlier, you can't go back and enable it on an existing LUN. It's a creation time option. I am waiting on confirmation from Synology on if that will change in the final DSM 4.1 release.
The second caveat…and a big one to me…is that VAAI is only enabled on the xs series NAS units. Those of us that use the smaller units in our lab are out of luck. To be honest I'm unhappy with this. I'd really like to see it working on the 5 and 8-bay units, even if it's unsupported. Synology confirmed this limitation with me and the reasoning is performance mandates from VMware. During the tests I monitored CPU use on the DS3611xs and they may be correct.
As you can see VAAI operations use more CPU but at a shorter duration than non-VAAI operations. There are times that CPU use during VAAI operations are around 25% of CPU on the DS3611xs….that's a dual core i3-2100 3.1GHz CPU. If you compare that CPU to the Atoms in the 5 and 8-bay units you can see a problem. Standard benchmarks show the i3-2100 to be about 4 to 6 times faster than the dual-core Atoms. The Atom-based NAS units would be very CPU limited when doing VAAI operations, and in my testing I wasn't running any other applications or services.
While you can't really argue with the numbers I'd still like unsupported VAAI operation on the smaller NAS units. Many of us in our labs only use the NAS for the lab, no other applications so some CPU contention is fine.
By the way, the screenshot above is from the new Resource Monitor in DSM 4.1 Beta. It's great. Splits out CPU usage, shows IOPS of the unit, and all sort of other nice additions.
Final Thoughts
If you're familiar with VAAI a lot of the information above is repetitive, but the purpose was to show that the VAAI support in DSM 4.1 Beta is the real deal. As far as I can tell no other NAS vendor in this space offers VAAI capability. That's a big deal. In fact, VAAI support is lacking in many small NAS arrays from the major players. For example, the VNXe from EMC supports VAAI on NFS (which the Synology does not) but no support for iSCSI. Good job Synology! It's great to see innovation.

Chaura Bazaar
However, Chaura Bazaar still remains the center of attraction for all. The reason being is obvious. If Ludhiana is the commercial capital of Punjab, Chaura Bazaar is the commercial capital of Ludhiana with daily business transactions running in hundreds of crores. Whether it is the local people or the visitors from outside, Chaura Bazaar remains everybodys preference. Even the foreigners, who had come here to participate in seminars or other events, had learnt about it and they would ask for its location. There is a general impression that what is sold for Rs 100 at the Mall is available for Rs 50 in Chaura Bazaar.
Chaura Bazaar, believed to be over 100 years old, no longer stands by its definition. With encroachments on both the sides having narrowed it down to pass through it difficult during the daytime. And still people throng it. And on Sundays, when the shops are closed, there is a heavy rush for Sunday Bazaar here. It also remains the favourite haunt of the people from the countryside. There are some very old & famous business outlets like Lyal Book Depot and Khushi Rams Sweet Shop.
There is Pindi Street, one of the largest drug markets in Punjab. There is a saying in Ludhiana that if a thing is not available anywhere it can be had from Chaura Bazaar only.
The old Ludhiana city was confined to Chaura Bazaar, Daresi, Purana Bazaar and Ghas Mandi. Earlier people used to sell grass from Ghas Mandi. Today it may slightly look out of place, but the grass was an important commodity at that time since most of the transportation was done through horse driven carts and the horses were fed with grass only. Today Ludhianas growth is reflective of the enterprising spirit of its people; otherwise there was nothing special to Ludhiana. It was like any other town at the time of independence, with just about 70,000 people, over half of whom left for Pakistan.
Besides these there are two important markets Ludhiana is known for worldwide. There is the hosiery market in Purana Bazaar in the old city, where transactions are carried daily worth crores. Similarly there is a Cycle Market along Gill Road. This wholesale cycle market is an important business centre from where bicycles & cycle parts are supplied to different parts of the country and also abroad.
In fact the trading in Cycle Market and Hosiery Market has a direct impact on the overall business in Ludhiana as hundreds and thousands of people are involved with these two trades.
Although people have now started moving out to new markets like The Mall, Ghumar Mandi, College Road, Cemetery Road, Pakhowal Road, Model Town and Sarabha Nagar, but they have retained their original outlets in Chaura Bazaar. Chaura Bazaar offers part nostalgia and to any trader in business here. Its approaches have been clogged by heavy traffic.
This is also one of the reasons that most of the businessmen are setting up extension counters on the other side of the line along the Ferozepur Road. If Chaura Bazaar and surrounding localities represent the ancient glory of Ludhiana, Ferozepur Road reflects its modern pace.

Chasing Madoff! Movie Reviews
Chasing Madoff!
Release Date: Aug 26, 2011
Genre: Documentary
Rating: (NR)
User reviews on Chasing Madoff!
This is a doc**entary about how investigators tried to uncover Bernie Madoff's ponzi schemes. I had hopes for this doc**entary but I was greatly disapointed. The film was full of talking heads and that just puts me straight to sleep, is there no other way to get the point across? The film felt uninspired and the re-creations were very fake and over-dramatized. It did not feel like a legitimate doc**entary and that is just sad because it is a very pressing and important issue. The film is not informative and there are no actual facts presented, I sure hope that not all doc**entaries are loosing integrity and structure.
This is a doc**entary about how Harry Markopolos and his team tried to expose Madoff and his dirty schemes over the period of ten years, the film is directed by Jeff Prosserman and starring Bernie Madoff, Frank Casey and Gaytri Kachroo. I think this could have been a very important and amazing doc**entary but it missed that opportunity. The doc**entary feels chaotic and it almost makes you nervous when you are watching it. I did not like that the filmmakers decided to sort of re-create events in a silly black and white shots and it just seems to theatrical. I wish there were more facts and explanations in the film, it was not informative and that is disappointing for a doc**entary.

Could the "Walking Dead's" great zombie hunter be gay? That is a possibility that's been pondered, according to the creator of the top AMC show. That would explain why Daryl didn't take Carol up on her very forward advances a while back!
According to the Huffington Post on Aug. 16, the talk about outing Daryl comes not too long after a blog on the same website asked why there were no gay characters on the "Walking Dead." That's a good question considering the show is set in the near future and gays are as much a piece of the community and family fabric today as the rest of society.
Refinery 29 suggests that "having a character like Daryl identify as gay would be a major moment for both the gay community and television itself." Daryl's persona is overwhelming different than the gay men characters created for TV so far. If Daryl is outed as gay in this up and coming season of "Walking Dead" will the show's creator give him a love interest?
Since the "Walking Dead" has characters that represent people from all walks of life, why not have a gay person on the cast? Robert Kirkman told ComicBook.com that "All I can say about Daryl's sexuality is that it has been discussed." Will there come a time that the show will address Daryl's sexuality?
According to Kirkman, "We have very specific ideas about Daryl's sexuality (or the seeming lack thereof), and if there's ever a quiet period in the show where he's not consistently distracted by crossbowing… we'll tackle it in the show."
Hypable reports that when Kirkman was asked if AMC would allow Daryl's character to be gay, he said that "they absolutely would." While the "Walking Dead" briefly had a lesbian couple, a main gay character might better represent the population in the little bit of reality that this zombie apocalypse of a show reflects!
AMC has portrayed gay men in their other top show "Mad Men," but it was a fleeting self-awareness type of scene. That show is set in the late '60's when gays weren't as open with their lifestyles in comparison to today.
Kirkman's comments suggest that if Daryl does become the gay character on the show, it won't play out as a big deal. Some type of hint may be dropped or some type of conversation might happen, but then he goes back to slaying the zombies with his crossbow.
We've seen Daryl pass up Carol's blunt moves and while he was caring for Beth last season, when the two were on their own, it almost looked as if a May-December romance might bloom. It didn't and Beth was swooped up and taken away in a hearse before any love scenes could develop. If Daryl is gay, this means he was probably just playing a father-type figure and folks were just imagining a glimmer or romance in their scenes.
If Daryl is outed, will the "Walking Dead" give him a partner finally? It would be nice to see Daryl finding love in this cruel and cold world filled with danger and zombies.
Side note: Do you think it is time for another lead cast to be changed into a zombie? Fans haven't seen one of the characters zombified for quite some time. Remember how gut-wrenching it was to see Sophia walk out of the barn? That was one of the most memorable scenes of the "Walking Dead." It's time to see someone the fans love turn into a zombie, this is the closest they ever get to feeling how horrific it is to see your loved one change into a walker. What do you think?

I LOVE Scotland not just for the ample sounds of bagpipes echoing through the Highlands, or for meat pies around every corner but for their Not Ever campaign too. The premise of the campaign is to challenge society's thoughts about what constitutes rape. I came across this campaign a while back, but it seems to have resurfaced on some of the advocacy sites in the past week.
Scotland probably has one of the narrowest definitions of rape which ironically is similar to Georgia State Law, but to create a campaign that debunks the myth that it's about anything else it great to see.
If you or someone you know has been a victim of rape, help is available. Visit RAINN for resources in your area.

Discover the benefits of Welcome Volunteer
"Welcome Volunteer" is a specialized organization for volunteer and internship opportunities in Kenya. Anybody who decides to do this kind of work for a period of time is most welcome in our projects. It doesn't matter if one is still a student in school or university, a professionalist or already retired, there are no restrictions at all. We are totally flexible with dates, with the election of your project even with travelling, living and all the other issues which could occur. Our job is to organize a comfortable stay for you, a package which you will be satisfied with. This includes pre and on arrival coordination, organization of your personal traineeship, home stay, board and a lot more, so that you actually only have to APPLY on our homepage, book your flight, get a travel insurance and look after your vaccination. Even with that little more, what has to be organized by yourself, we will assist you continuously.
"Welcome Volunteer" was founded in June 2009 after a few years of researching in all the fields which are offered on this homepage. After a lot of discussions with German and Kenyan authorities we were finally given the right to be able to start with what we were planning for a long time. We received our first volunteers in June 2009, which was a fantastic success for us, the volunteers and people overseas. The director and founder of welcome volunteer was once a volunteer himself when he began to think about creating the first volunteer organization, based in Germany, which is specialized in Kenyan social, care, medical, cultural and conservation work. As he was working in all these fields by himself, he was able to build up a perfect organized team who all gained a lot of experience for years as well. This important basis makes it possible for us to put ourselves in the position of the volunteers. We try to think how a volunteer would think in advance, during his stay and maybe after. Common problems such as mistakes, disorganization, inflexibility, inhospitality and so on can be mostly avoided through our experience.
Now as a medical student in Germany, the founder Moritz Geisthövel coordinates this organization during his studies. Any vacation he gets, he takes the chance and looks after the projects locally. The countries infrastructure is changing constantly, so that there always has to be somebody to solve certain problems which could arise. As a nonprofit organization, the money which has to be paid by the volunteers will be mainly put in the maintenance of the different project. We guarantee to be one of the cheapest organizations found on the web. As the administrators are students themselves, we know about the financial situation of parts of our participants and want to offer therefore best value for little costs. In comparison to most other major, commercialized organizations, we are a approved but a smaller and not widely known "Insider-Organization".
