Brief Summary
The Shingleback Skink (Tiliqua rugosa) is a heavily armored, blue-tongued skink. It has a short stumpy tail and can range in colors from dark brown to light yellow. It inhabits the arid and semi-arid regions of western and southern Australia. It is viviparous and mostly monogamous. It has been known to pair with the same mate for up to 20 years. It has an omnivorous diet, consuming vegetable matter as well as insects and snails. It is preyed upon by dingos, pythons and feral cats that were recently introduced into Australia. Unlike most skinks, T. rugosa does not exhibit tail autotomy.
Tiliqua rugosa is currently one of the more abundant reptles that inhabits Australia. They range throughout the drier parts of Southern Australia, from approximately Bathurst in New South Wales all the way to the coast of Western Australia. T. rugosa is, for the most part, exclusive to the above areas and is never found naturally in the highly populated southeastern coast or any portion of Northern Australia (Walls, 1996).
Biogeographic Regions: australian (Native )
Tiliqua rugosa can be found in Southern and Western Autralia, reaching north up to Caravorn, the outer wheatbelt, Kalgoorlie and the Nullarbor Plain. Some populations can also be found in Southeastern Australia (Storr et al. 1981). The type locality is King George Sound, Western Australia (Worrell 1963).
Distribution: Australia (S West Australia, S South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales except coastal areas, S/C Queensland) asper: E Australia rugosa: W Australia konowi: Rottnest Island, West Australia. palarra: West Australia, Shark Bay area.
Physical Description
Shingle back skinks are among the largest of the Australian skinks. Mature adults typically weigh 600 to 900 grams and have snout-vent lengths (SVLs) of 16 to 18 inches (VItt and Pianka, 1994). Tiliqua rugosa has an extremely short, blunt tail, being only one quarter of the SVL. The tail very much resembles the head of this species, and could probably be very easily as such by a would be predator. The scales of the body and tail are typically very large in size, and have a rough, knobby appearance, making this creature greatly resemble a pine cone. Head scales are fragmented and irregular, making them difficult to count and compare to other reptiles. The tongue of T. rugosa is cobalt blue in color, and is used extensively as a sensory organ, in conjunction with the Jacobson's organ. The dentation of this species is acrodont, meaning that the teeth are set on the edges of the jaw bones and are not in grooved sockets (Bustard, 1970). The legs in the shingle back skink are noticeably reduced, with the hind limbs being approximately twenty percent of the SVL, and the toes are short and fat (Cogger, 1975). Ear-openings are conspicuous and without anterior lobules (unlike genus Tiliqua). It is thought that males have a more slender, slightly longer tail than females, although this is by no means a sure way to sex this species. A better way of sexing is by cloacal examination (male hemipenes can be everted with pressure).
Coloration can vary greatly in the shingle backs, with three subspecies being recognized by these differences: T. r. rugosus of western Australia is classified as having a moderately long, slender tail and is brownish-red in color with yellow spots or white bands; T. r. konowi of Rattnest Island is small and dark, with gray coloration and numerous tiny, white specks on the belly and back; and T. r. asper of eastern Australia has the shortest, widest tail, with a very fragmented scalation pattrn and is usually solid brown with no pattern at all (Walls, 1996).
Range mass: 600 to 900 g.
Other Physical Features: heterothermic
Tiliqua rugosa is a heavily-bodied lizard with large pine-cone-like scales. Its limbs are small relative to the rest of the body. Its short, wide, stumpy tail resembles its head, and may be used to confuse predators. It contains fat reserves, which are consumed during winter hibernation or periodic droughts. The tail grows greatly in size after the lizard eats in abundance, and can become very thin during droughts (Bustard 1970) The head size is larger in males than in females (relative to body size), presumably for head-butting in intraspecific combat (Bull and Pamula 1996). The armored skull has lost the kinetic capability characteristic of most skinks (De Vree & Gans 1987).
The midbody scales are arranged in 21 to 32 rows. The dorsals are large and have a rough texture. The nasal scales are often separated but can sometimes be in contact. The prefrontals are almost always in contact, and only very rarely separated. There are usually 5 or 6 supracilliaries, and 9 or 10 upper labials (Storr et al. 1981).
This skink's skin color varies a lot among individuals and subspecies. The underside is white or creamy with blackish flecks, spots or blotches. These sometimes align into longitudinal streaks. The head and back are commonly orange-brown to brown and have cream-colored spots, blotches or streaks that sometimes form oblique bands (Storr et al. 1981). In Western Australia, the heads of Shinglebacks tend to be more prominent and attractively coloured with reddish brown and salmon. Tiliqua rugosa's pineal eye is more developed than that of the New Zealand tuatara (Worrell 1963).
A Shingleback with two heads and two sets of forelegs, was found in Coogee, New South Wales (Phillips, T. 2010).
Measurements from Storr et al. (1981):
Snout to vent length (SVL): 124-310 mm (mean: 238 mm).
Tail: 19-37% of SVL (mean: 27 mm).
Bustard (1970) claims that individuals can grow to be 18 inches (457mm) in length.
Diagnostic Description
It can be distinguished from other Australian skinks of similar size by its short stumpy tail and large coarse scales.
The konowi subspecies is characteristically smaller and darker than the other subspecies, having an upper slaty grey surface, with an even distribution of small white spots. Its undersurface is dark and is also covered with small white spots (Storr et al. 1981).
Tiliqua rugosa inhabit semiarid plains and woodlands that typically have a harsh, dry summer and fall, followed by a cool winter and spring with increased precipitation and resources. These areas are subject to a great deal of variability in precipitation (Bustard, 1970).
Terrestrial Biomes: chaparral
Tiliqua rugosa is a primarily terrestrial lizard, though it can climb wire mesh and low tree stumps. Its typical home range is much smaller than those of predaceous lizards of similar size. It is usually found in arid and semi-arid plains, and bush lands, alongside roads or open areas within its range. During its hibernation period, it lives in burrows or rabbit warrens.
It will usually remain in its home range for at least five years, before moving to a different one. Its size or sex does not affect its fidelity to the home range (Bull & Freake 1999).
Trophic Strategy
The shingle back is an omnivore that would be considered an opportunistic feeder. Its main diet typically consists of vegetable matter, such as herbs and seedlings, with any blossoms or fruits that it may come across included. The rest of the diet can consist of insects and other arthropods, snails, carrion, and basically any other edible thing that it is fortunate enogh to come across (Cogger, 1975). One of the greatest hardships that T. rugosa is adept at overcoming are periodic droughts and famines Typically, much food is available during the spring months after the winter rains, but that soon plummets during the following summer and fall months. As was discussed above, the tail acts as a fat store to help the shingle back survive in times if little or no sustenance. Its opportunistic feeding habits also aid in its survival (although the tendency to venture out into the road to consume carrion and then be struck and killed by motor vehicles is a leading cause of death in this species) (Vitt and Pianka, 1994).
Tiliqua rugosa's diet includes snails, insects, herbage, fruit and blossoms (Worrell 1963). It may eat larger amounts of plant matter than any other species in its genus (Greer 1989). Its predators are pythons, dingos and recently introduced feral cats.
Some populations are infested by the ticks Aponomma hydrosauri and Amblyomma limbatum. Lizards with high tick loads in a given year tend to have high loads in the the next year. Being in a pair increases the likelihood of having ticks. These ticks appear not to reduce the fitness of their hosts, and longevity and size may even be positively correlated with tick load (Bull and Burzacott 1993).
Diseases and Parasites
The shingleback skink is prone to acquire endemic diseases or parasites when in captivity (Worrell 1963). In the wild, some individuals have been found to be infected with a haemogregarine blood parasite (Hemolivia mariae). Such individuals tend to have smaller home ranges than uninfected individuals. However, experiments have shown that individuals with larger ranges are more susceptible to infection. Bouma et al. (2007) suggest that there is a trade-off between parasite defenses and physical activity. Lizards that are more active have larger ranges. Consequently, these get infected with parasites and are forced to inhibit their activity and reduce their range.
Population Biology
Individuals tend to be uniformly distributed in their habitat (Walton & Dyne 1987). Henle (1990) estimated that the density of a typical population is about 1 individual per hectare (biomass of 0.8kg per hectare). Based on observations of a South Australian population, Bull (1987) produced a higher estimate: 2.7 individuals per hectare.
Life History and Behavior
Tiliqua rugosa is a slow-moving, docile skink with limited stamina (John-Adler et al. 1986). Within its range, it is prone to spend time in a small area for a long time, and then move suddenly to another small area that is distant from the first, but still inside the range (Greer 1989). It may exhibit aggressive territorial behavior against male intruders. Males are more aggressive than females and have been reported to fight when placed in the same spot. It has been observed basking in the morning, first exposing only the head, and then emerging completely, positioning its body at a right angle relative to the sun. It can sometimes make an arc with its body, to make solar energy converge on itself (Edwards 1978).
Foraging strategies change throught the year and among the sexes. During the two months before mating, when food is abundant, males forage using a time-maximization strategy, while females use an energy-maximization strategy. During droughts, males and females significantly reduce their activity (Kerr & Bull 2006). When in pairs, the male eats significantly less than the female and remains a few centimeters behind the female during feeding, while the female eats just as much as when alone. This behaviour presumably suggests that males are on the alert for the presence of rival males when paired (Bull & Pamula, 1996). Moreover, a female can detect approaching danger earlier in a pair than when it is alone, and when in pairs, earlier when the male partner is not feeding. Bull and Pamula (1998) suggest this enhanced vigilance is a product of the combined perception of both partners in the pair. The behavior may be an adaptation for avoiding large predators when plant food is only available at exposed sites.
Young offspring of this species are able to discriminate between kin and non-kin, even when separated from their mothers at birth. They preferentially direct attention and tongue flicks to related over non-related individuals. In addition, foster mothers tend to spend more time with their own young (with which they are not familiar) than with familiar foster young. The mechanism behind this mother-offspring recognition system is unknown, but probably involves olfactory cues (Main & Bull 1996).
Tiliqua rugosa's visual range for a 0.5-m-high bush is approximately 20 m (Auburn et al. 2009). As it lives in uncleared chenopod shrub land, shelter bushes are about 10.5 m from any point in its home range, well within its perceptual range. A study by Freake (2001) found that it can use celestial cues as a navigational strategy to return to its home range. It detects these cues using its parietal eye, perhaps functioning as a celestial compass.
This skink hibernates during the summer months to escape the heat, living in burrows or rabbit warrens (Bustard 1970, Greer 1989).
Thermal and day-night cycles are regulated by cycles of melatonin production in the pineal complex (Firth, Kennaway & Belan 1991).
Life Cycle
Embryos of Tiliqua rugosa have distinguishable light crossbands on their body, which acquire a darker tone before birth (Gadow 1901, as cited in Greer 1989).
Life Expectancy
The shingle back skink has an average life span of about 10 to 15 years, although there is a living and healthy specimen which resides as a captive in England (his name is Stumpy), that is an amazing 35 years old! However, that is extremely rare and would be even more rare in the wild (Walls, 1996).
Average lifespan
Status: captivity: 14.5 years.

Tiliqua rugosa has an average life span of more than 10 years (Bull 1987). A specimen caught by Holmes and Light (1983) was estimated to be 20 years old.
Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
Tiliqua rugosa are viviparous, typically producing 1 to 2 young, although triplets do occasionaly occur. A type of placenta very much like that of primitive mammals is formed between the mother and young. This permits the exchange of food and waste between the mother and the developing embryos (Cogger, 1967). Young are produced in late March or early April of each year after approximately 5 months of gestation. Young lizards weigh about 60 to 140 grams at birth and have a relative clutch mass (as a percentage of female gravid mass) of about 28%. The small litter size of young but the large size of individuals is believed to reduce risk of predation and aid in the potential survival through the oncoming winter months (Vitt and Pianka, 1994). Copulation is usually observed around late October or early November and is typically over with very quickly. There is a great deal of evidence that shingle backs are monogamous (see behavior section).
Tiliqua rugosa reaches sexual maturity in its third or fourth season of life (Bamford 1980, Greer 1989). The mating season occurs during the spring, but testicular and ovarian activity may being before the spring (Bourne, Taylor & Watson 1986). Mating is performed by the male grasping the female by the head, neck or shoulder using his mouth (Hitz 1983).
Monogamous pairs of T. rugosa are reported to have been found together after an interval of up to 25 years, and some have been continuously seen together for 3 years (Bull 1988, Greer 1989). Pairs can be frequently seen crossing the road in tandem during the spring, with the male following the female. The male attends the female until she is ready to mate and will remain with her afterwards for a sufficient time to ensure her eggs are fertilized by his sperm (Bamford 1980). An extensive study of monogamy in this species (using polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci to assess parenthood) revealed that most males are consistently monogamous, though some males mate with more than one female. There is also evidence of extra-pair fertilization in females, which appears to be more frequent in the females of polygynous males (Bull et al. 1989).
Tiliqua rugosa is viviparous, with a gestation period of 119-125 days (Hitz 1983). The typical clutch size is two (Worrell 1963) and the young are about half the parent's length. The newborn grow substantially in the spring after their birth, and they are large enough by the beginning of the summer to withstand adverse climatic conditions (Bustard 1970). If a young is born without any simultaneous siblings, it will likely be larger than if it is born in a pair. After birth, the young eats the mother's fetal membranes. The allantoplacenta is composed of the apposing fetal and maternal membranes, which are non-interdigitating (Bamford 1980, Greer 1989).
There have been reports of hybridization between T. rugosa and other large skinks from its genus, namely T. scincoides and T. nigrolutea (Greer 1989).
Evolution and Systematics
Within the genus Tiliqua, there are two distinct lineages. One contains species that are characteristically large and stout, with the head wider than the neck and a cross-banded skin pattern. The other contains species that are small, elongate and have a uniform color pattern. Tiliqua rugosa belongs to the first group, and is thus closely related to T. adelaidensis, T. gigas, T. multifasciata, T. nigrolutea, T. occipitalis and T. scincoides (Greer 1989).
Tiliqua rugosa has 4 subspecies: Tiliqua rugosa asper (Gray 1845); Tiliqua rugosa konowi (Mertens 1958); Tiliqua rugosa rugosa (Gray 1825); Tiliqua rugosa palarra (Shea 2000).
Physiology and Cell Biology
Tiliqua rugosa has a salt gland in the nose that is under the control of hormonal corticosteroids and can excrete potassium and sodium in higher concentrations than normally found in the blood. It only becomes active when the body temperature reaches 30°C. It can respond to both sodium and potassium loading by selectively secreting the ion that is in excess (Braysher 1971). This gland is especially active in the spring and produces a white encrustation of salt around the nostril (Bradshaw et al. 1984). This species can also withstand wide fluctuations in the concentration of blood salt, ranging from 152 to 240 mEquiv/l, thus remaining alive in periods of drought. During such periods, it is able to completely shut down its kidneys (Bentley 1976, Walton & Dyne 1987, Greer 1989).
As in mammals and other Australian skinks, T. rugosa's parathyroid gland controls phosphate and calcium levels. It is paired and located at the base of the carotid arteries (Clark 1970). The adrenal glands are slender, are attached to the mesentery of the gonad and have been reported to be a major secretor of progesterone (Bourne 1981, Walton & Dyne 1987).
In males, androgens peak at the time of mating (Bourne & Seamark 1978). In females, progesterone reaches high levels during pregnancy, peaking during the middle third of the gestation period (Bourne et al. 1986).
Conservation Status
Tiliqua rugosa are quite common in Australia and do not suffer from many natural predators. Road side killings tend to be the most devastating force on wild populations. A study of percent population loss of this species due to road kill was conducted and the results showed an average annual 11.9% population loss. These results greatly contrasted with an estimate by Ehmann and Cogger (1985) that 0.014% of all mortality in Australian herpetofauna is dure to road kills. This suggests that T. rugosa is very susceptible to this form of mortality, probably due to their feeding habits outlined above.
The conservation status of this species has not yet been reviewed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
There are no known negative impacts of this species on humans.
Aboriginals have found T. rugosa to be a good source of food and some southern tribes of Australia used them medicinally. They are believed to kill and eat snakes, which has been witnessed but is not typical behavior(Serventry, 1977). The shingle back skink also plays a small part in the world pet trade. Exportation of this species from Australia is currently prohibited but there are some pairs in the trade that have been producing captive young for private collections. These captives command a high price and are fairly rare to come across.
Tiliqua rugosa
Tiliqua rugosa is a short-tailed, slow moving species of blue-tongued skink found in Australia. Three of the four [2] recognised subspecies are found only in Western Australia, where they are known collectively by the common name bobtail.[3] The name shingleback is also used, especially for T. rugosa asper, the only subspecies native to eastern Australia.
T. rugosa has a heavily armoured body and can be found in various colours, ranging from dark brown to cream. It has a short, wide, stumpy tail that resembles its head and may confuse predators. The tail also contains fat reserves, which are drawn upon during brumation in winter. This skink is an omnivore; it eats snails and plants and spends much of its time browsing through vegetation for food. It is often seen sunning on roadsides or other paved areas.
Apart from bobtail and shingleback, a variety of other common names are used, including stump-tailed skink, bogeye, pinecone lizard and sleepy lizard.[2]
Etymology and taxonomy[edit]
The species was first described by John Edward Gray in 1825 as Trachydosaurus rugosus.[2] It has since been reclassified as Tiliqua rugosa. Some herpetologists claim this species has more common names than any other lizard.[4]
Four subspecies of T. rugosa are currently recognized:[2]
- T. r. rugosa: bobtail or western shingleback – Western Australia
- T. r. asper:[5] eastern shingleback – eastern Australia
- T. r. konowi:[6] Rottnest Island bobtail or Rottnest Island shingleback – Rottnest Island, Western Australia
Distribution and habitat[edit]
The species is widely distributed in arid to semiarid regions of southern and western Australia. The range extends from Shark Bay, Western Australia, across the southern-most regions of the country to the coast, then north into Queensland. Four subspecies are found in Western Australia, including one at Rottnest Island. It also occurs in the eastern states of Victoria and New South Wales, but does not reach coastal areas.[8]
The habitat of the species includes shrublands and desert grasslands to sandy dunes. These skinks are well known, due to a preference for sun basking in open areas, and are often seen along roadsides or other cleared areas in its range.[9]
T. rugosa has a heavily armoured body and can be found in various colours, ranging from dark brown to cream.[4] Its snout to vent length varies from 260 to 310 mm (10 to 12 in),[10] but it is a very heavy-bodied lizard for its length.[4]
It has a triangular head and a bright blue tongue.[4] Its short, stumpy tail is similar in shape to its head. This possibly evolved as a defence mechanism against predators, and has led to the common name of "two-headed skink".[4] Its short tail also contains fat reserves, which the lizard lives upon during hibernation in winter.[4] Unlike many skinks, shinglebacks do not exhibit autotomy and cannot shed their tails.[11]
Tiliqua rugosa is an omnivore that eat snails, insects, carrion, vegetation and flowers. The species was once preyed upon by dingos, Australian pythons such as Morelia spilota, and local peoples; a threat is now more likely to come from large, introduced feral species, such as foxes and cats.[12]
They have also been known to eat human food, such as sausage and chicken, as well as fruits such as banana and passionfruit.
In captivity[edit]
The shingleback skink has become a popular pet among Australian enthusiasts.
T. rugosa is a viviparous skink, giving birth to broods of one to four relatively large offspring.[4] Unlike most lizards, the species tends to be monogamous extending outside the breeding season of September through November; such pairs have been known to return to each other every year for up to 20 years.[4][13]
Soon after birth, the young immediately consume their afterbirth.[4] They stay with their parents for several months before moving on, but they remain in close proximity, forming a colony of closely related skinks.[4]
The male of a monogamous pair eats less while parenting, remaining alert and ready to give an alarm.[4]
Their hearing can be measured at the round window as cochlear microphonics and summating potential (of the cochlea), and compound action potential and single-fibre responses (of the auditory nerve).[jargon] These indicate a best hearing range near 1000 Hz. Earlier reports that their hearing sensitivity varied with the season,[14][15] have been shown to be an artefact of the seasonally varying sensitivity to anesthetics.[16]
Single unit recordings from the auditory nerve show both spontaneous and nonspontaneous responses. Tuning curves show peak sensitivity between 200 Hz and 4.5 kHz The absolute sensitivity is quite high, with some thresholds at 6 db sound pressure level, very close to human best sensitivity.[17]

Well put. They are missing a vital component to society. It's the integration into their surroundings, and their self adoration that

The plan of the US supporting the state is flawed, because it allows those inside to stay a perpetual provincial state -a giant hamster wheel inside a mirrored glass box to reflect their vanity. The only progress they make to break out of their bubble is through violence and conquest (which is probably most appealing to the derelict settler). It's not the time of the Spartans or Maccabees. And they're not a growing empire, but a slow-growth tribe.

I feel sorry for the citizens, as it must often feel like a cult state; utterly depressing when the naked truth is revealed to the cognizant ones. At the core, something is amiss.

Jeff made an astute comment that going forward there will be no deep probing of the conflict (it's roots). The idea is to stay on current events, which is laughable in comparison to what has already transpired here over the years. It's a stretch expect a group that has wrestled exhaustively with each aspect of this conflict to be neutered about the long reaching history, its causes and effects.
If we are consistent, and we agree that someone being able to move to israel based on who they were born to (no matter where they are from in the world) is bullsht, well, in my view, elevating the speech of someone based on the same criteria is also bullsht. And we shouldn't be afraid to say it – being jewish does not give you anymore legitimacy to protest Israel or advocate for palestine than anyone else.
Well said Dan. I'm leery of Jewish activists, and past authors on this site, who say they are forming an organization to stop Israel apartheid, etc. But it always begins with 'Jews against', etc. Avoiding inviting the 'supposed others' to stand in solidarity comes across as separatist and potentially impotent for the growth of an organization. This author Ezra Nepon, posting the other day, hopes to enticing us with 'the New Jewish Agenda' that carries the same exclusionary tone. I realize that anyone can be a member of JVP, but enough with the religious branding on peace organizations. Call it Citizens against the Apartheid already. I think part of the reason is that when the non-Jew starts an organization, they are branded Anti-semites. Just look at the flak Alison Weir gets from her website 'If Americans Knew'.
Not only was Jeff an great source in the comment section, he had also written articles here as well. I agree with Chaos that Adam & Phil should address this, preferable through a post. I asssume this was based on new outside pressure that they have received, or outside forces leaning hard on CERSC. Who knows?
- Leading Zionist historian was first to say 'Israel Firster'-- in 1960
Is this what it's come to?
Losing the argument is one thing... but...
[homphmi] Not at all. Mine is accurate. Yours isn't.
The word is going to exist. Deal with it. Change some of your
Likidist brethren's habits inside this country and the word will be less used.
Is it the fault of US citizens that there are those among them who are solely concerned with building another nation 9000Km away?
Read the George Washington piece below and deeply reflect on its meaning. It's jarringly accurate when you think about the current alliance of the favorite state.
If a congressional representative on the Senate floor gave that 216 year-old speech from George Washington they would be the next target of AIPAC and the establishment media.
Here's a clear example of Israel Firster. Atlanta Jewish Times publisher,
Andrew Adler calling for the assassination of the US President by Mossad
agents, not but a month ago.
That is a clear case for you, in case you think that the term is too harsh and conspiratorial.
- Penn boycott conference is target in viral scare game
Good news. Keep the amen crowd whining and you know they are on their heels.
As you said, BDS is a non-violent tactic , aimed at curbing the real criminal state behavior of Israel and it's occupation and colonial conquests.
But they've missed the intent of BDS. To them it's another pogram
gaining steam, which any shrink would see as bizarre. The Ruben Gur
piece is awfully strange for a professor:
The "explanation" itself presents a fuzzy "anti-Israel" cloak that barely conceals the Hamas and Hizballah daggers. It will deceive only those who, knowing nothing of the history, cannot tell lies from truth, or who, so blinded by animus against Israel and Jews, are willing to be deceived.
- Is Israel a failed state? asks 'American Conservative'
The further Israel looks back on this history, the more ugly
it becomes. The mystical dream of unifying Jews in their 'holy
land' is another like another colonial effort to secure a land
that was someone elses. There were established towns in Palestine,
with deeds. No biblical archeology about the borders of King David's
Kingdom can dispute that.
- 2012: The year of the Bibi
Through greed and power, the Zionists are showing the world
that their needs for a political border is not based on security, but on
greed and bravado. But, it's their time to celebrate after their 2000 year old
epic wandering struggle to celebrate their neo-colonial real estate victories,
and what better way to do that by putting down your patron ally.
Smart move Bibi, deliver us more of your political s&m. Show the world
how neutered the US is, when challenged by the cabal of Zionism and neocons.
Set the world tone for the next century of what Israel has become. No more sugar coating please.
- Why we should be furious the Haditha massacre Marines got no jail time
When cases like this go unchecked in the nation, it's a reminder that we are sliding into an immoral mass that is hard to escape from once we've went over the edge.
To demote Wuterich is completely sickening for the Iraqi families. For a war that was going to be a 'cakewalk', the United States (from the neocons to the military planners and troops) has caused so much damage in Iraq and and only reinforced a sour image of a rotten military. It's no wonder that there are so many suicides in the military. Guilt is not easy to wash away.
This case of turning away from Justice, while Marines kill without punishment serves as an example to all the other service men in Iraq and Afganistan and wherever the next operation is. This is appalling.
- 'Former thug who found Judaism hopes to be first African-American in the Knesset'
from your article:"I definitely try not to get into the whole gang affiliation thing," Levi says. If on some days he wears a striped suit (orthodox dress), other times flat black, it's because he admires the traditions. He also jets up to Paris for Fashion Week."
He sounds like a lost soul, more interested in his fashion and music. I don't think Judaism is for him, and he'll realize this in the years to come. But one day he could be remarketed to the US as an Israeli rapper. Have you ever watched any tv programs on the Israel Maccabees Basketball team? Same idea in principle, to counter the notion that the lot of them aren't Ashkenazi racists. We celebrate our black folk, indeed.

I agree with what Krauss (above)is saying, but it's apparent
that there is the erosion of faith in the media, because of the
inevitability of the internet, to interpret the great political landscape.
Newspapers were great at establishing the dichotomy
of right and left over the decades, now it's more about one big establishment.
The Paul movement is something that sprung up from
the right, and one could argue as a result of the internet and it's
free flow of information. The Federal Reserve questions were key
to Paul having a platform. And since that he has made a big dent in
the republican establishment, it's difficult for the the republican
pundits to counter these concepts, And the democrats as well.

I agree with Alec here. I'm not sure if an effort to appease to appease a larger group of readers, you may be shooting oneself in the foot for censorship that mirrors DKOS efforts.

Mainstreaming Hate, by Lee Smith (link to tabletmag.com ). I think your attempt to put the blinders on this project is troubling. But it's your project; although I wonder if the crowd you may receive will be wholy too generic for interesting discussion. This could turn into a neutered crowd with bland observations, curbed by the tone that was set forth.
- 'NYT' gives big platform to Israeli journalist to espouse Israeli attack on Iran with OK from Uncle Sam
Why should anyone in the US military shed any blood for an ally that
would not do the same? If the tables were turned they would never
have our back.
Although the US military is immense in comparison, it doesn't make
it the mercenary force of a weak ally, that you simply lobby them
to fight for your cause.
- Video: Atlanta Jewish Times publisher's tearful anti-apology
That's a false assertion. I've been inside conservative Jewish schools in the Upper West Side and there was no flag of the US inside the lobby. The only notable items were the Israeli flag, and a picture of Shalit.
We're supposed to accept an apology from this slimy weakling, with crodidile tears aimed at keeping keep his shoddy career afloat? Israel Firsters need to recognize they are a traitorous lot, choosing another state to that which they dwell within. This bad actor is one fine example of how morally repulsive they are. And the national media will ignore this story, when he should be shamed as an example of treasonous behavior.

- A message of anti-Islamic hatred on the streets of Jerusalem
If an Arab wore a shirt like that about Yad Vashem, he be accosted by the mob and likely arrested. You're kidding yourself that there is freedom.
There is freedom of speech to Jews in Israel.
It's mob rule there, as they rule in most scenarios, but you're inside the mob. It's hard to see things objectively.
One shot, two kills...
That was an even more soulless Israeli T-shirt.
Israel society gives the outside world the impression
that they are collective of weirdos when they casually
walk around any town square with this racist messaging.
I recall kids wearing shirts in NY that said Hitler World
Tour, and the media trounced on this story in a flash.
The media helped to shun this sick behavior.
But there isn't much discussion coming from Israel
about this type of overt and public hatred donned
through bad fashion statements?
It's not only racist, it's uncouth.

- UK's deputy PM says Israel is 'vandal'-izing the two-state solution. Israel accuses him of 'gratuitous bashing'
Have one's cake and eat it. This is the core problem for the state.
They want to be a state that claim's to be a democratic ally, while their
appetite for more land theft shows they are the worst cynical players,
who continue to show great contempt for unity among western nations.
It's this 'more for us' selfishness that is the defining character of the state.
To claim that more land will offer more security is a false argument, as
the continued theft of land is creating greater tension. Israel shows the
world that the alliance of western democratic principles are a complete
sham. and why the big backer of the state is losing credibility as a world
leader of power & values. In search of global power, values get trampled
- A regular commenter on this site seeks a more temperate comment board
Bruce, that could be the de-facto rule as you suggest. All the charges of anti-Semitism, both here and on other sites, undermines the term.
Anti-Semitism can often be sidestepped by saying bigoted in many cases. It's overused in these these discussions, which is like why those that make the charge are hammered after they make it.
You have many ad-hominem attacks aimed at Richard Witty.
I know it's difficult to resist with Witty, but you are preaching that
others should refrain from something you have done.
So it's a club of fellow travelers that eats their own?
In the big world outside this blog, it's called politics.
It's why Israel has no left wing. Everyone is for the
strongest argument and political pressure.
Donald is a good example of even-keeled commentator, and I listen to
what he says. I think the problem the article has is there is a lot of
innuendo aimed at the commentators, and the site has provided a perch
for him to make his grievances known, and it seems clear the site endorses his views. Whether or not Donald knew he was going to be the foil is unknown.
But, I'm not sure about the list he proposes, because I think that when people
breeze through the comments they are taken by the interesting comments
that provide references and established evidence, mixed with a real stories of first hand experience in Israel, or American politics. There's lots of good debate, and I think that tactics like ad-hominem show that that person is losing the debate at hand. Some of these long threads that can go on for days is where this site is the most interesting, and many other sites can't compete.
An given example would be commentator Homphi, as he has repeatedly said that
1/3 of my People have died as a result of the Holocaust.
This translates to "We in the diaspora and Israel, must do whatever it takes to restore these missing tribe members."
"Any suggestion that some sort of Jewish writing or behavior created the Nazis."
Are you saying that the tensions between German Jews and the Nazi party cannot be discussed in the comments section? Would one be allowed to post something from Willhelm II when discussing events leading up to WWII for discussion purposes? Or would that be verboten?
I can see from Slater's blog comments you'er feeling guilty about
Slater quiting this site, but you should be reminded that he was the one losing his temper in the comments section, with charges of Antisemitism, etc. It's possible he may be too old of a liberal Zionist to have any meaningful effect in changing the state of Israel and US Zionists. When Slater remarked last week that people on the site were critical of Finkelstein, he seemed to be laying down in this fight because his place is lost in current discussion.
btw: if your going to make up rules for one side, you should lay out rules for false charges of antisemtism, or blatant smearing of people who are critical of Israel are somehow haters of the state.

- 'NYT' Travel section features visit to another planet
No doubt he is being a shill for Israeli tourism. But he writes for the NYTimes,
who undoubtedly is the largest paper in the US to repeatedly shill for the Israel.
I enjoyed how he slips in that Israeli guards are much better at patting down and getting into your business, than any American TSA operation.
This reads like an annoying Jewish American has come to survey Jerusalem on his own, because he is a big boy now and he can show his parents what a world traveler he (Matt Gross) has become. Funny that Matt, as he's called 'the real mensch' by his new street friend Joseph finds such delight at the end of his stay. The majority of favored NYTimes comments on the article take offense at his secular pov.
Matt acts as an outsider to to whole scene of Jerusalem. He is the skeptic secular, who is just shilling for Jerusalem tourism. Jewish mothers, the ones who will pass this regurgitated garbage on to other family members, can say "look at this guys enlightening experience. You should go and see for yourself."

I would assume Andre Brevik used to leave comments on Pam's site.
"It is not just a matter of a black-and-white world view, he says, though that is part of it. "It's a very warm embrace. You felt a sense of self-esteem, a sense of real embrace. Then it gives you a sense of purpose, which is also something you've never had so much. The purpose is a huge one. Part of a cosmic struggle when you're on the right side: you're another generation in the huge fight that goes back to the crusades."
From Pam's Blog comments section:
"Are we supposed to believe our soldiers are meant to kill these goat fuckers as fast as they can, but not hurt their feelings? Come on! Grow up!
Taliban prisoners and all Muslim terrorists should be thrown into cages full of hungry lions on pay-per-view and the proceeds forwarded to the widows and orphans of the soldiers who died trying to rinse this human filth from our planet.

- Ron Paul gets respect
It's no surprise they are all squeaking about a candidate who threatens
the current political establishment with its complacent media punditry.
Think of them as the Bolsheviks in power whose agitprop is going into fear-mode.
Even Bob Shaeffer, who puts on a good performance for the most part, looked panicked when Paul was interviewed on his Sunday morning show. They are only guilty of conspiring together to maintain the status quo. They are there to keep Obama protected, and Paul's antiwar and anti-interventionist message undermines the false change that the incumbent promised only 4 years ago.
- Adelson is giving Gingrich $5 million because of fear of Ron Paul -- Chris Matthews
yeah. here's the exit polling:link to elections.nytimes.com
32% of independents went with Paul and 24% of democrats as well.
Republicans stuck with Romney.
And five million is chump change for this Dorchester oligarch.
That's 1/4,300 of his total net worth. I think I that is a small price
to elevate the rhetoric for the Israel project. And this is just
one of the many Zionist guardians within our country. They are
the gatekeepers of political office for the US political office.
But, Gingrich's problem (and most of Congress) is that he behaves
as a henchman, who serves the interests of a questionable ally by
way of the new-blue blooded oligarch, who makes it clear that
Israel is the ultimate priority.

for the alliance. We may as well support Pakistani
expansionary land growth while we're supporting Israel.

- Ron Paul's antiwar position is simpleminded
I am surprised to see this meltdown in progress, but it revealed a lot when Slater said in the post above how he basically waited with 'perverse glee' for people to make comments against him. I could see this coming as well, when he referenced Finkelstein being criticized on Mondoweiss recently.
Because I've finally had it, and knew that this would be my last appearance, in this instance I decided to go out with a bang, not only knowing full well what the response would be, but actually anticipating with some perverse glee watching the wolf pack go into a frenzy.
Paul has risen to gain support from the left, because the
incumbent has not lived up to the expectation of change.

What's unique in the Ron Paul phenomenon, is how he is uniting Republicans, Independents and Democrats to join and support his cause. Something that Scott McConnell mentioned here years ago. And so many Democrats, as seen from Lizzy's post yesterday, are very freaked out about it.
I have friends in NY who were Democrats and are enthusiastically supporting him. Strange times. Washington should be worried that their days of corruption are coming to an end.
- Ron Paul and the left
this site came about for me because of outrage at the iraq war.

I thought you disappeared Danaa. I missed reading your insightful points!
Jeremiah Wright is a good example, because he was tarred as someone who hates America, and that was big political news at the time of American nationalism. People didn't buy that Obama secretly shared the same views, as they must be a secret cabal sent to deliver socialism en masse.
But, we'll see how this plays out. The status quo certainly isn't working for most Americans, which is why some like Paul has made such a mark. The big question is for the public, are you satisfied with the progress and direction of the current president?
Tristan, Charon says it well, below:
" I mean, the message here is no different than a biased MSM smear complete with stormfront founder photo"
I believe half of Ron Paul's supporters in Iowa are Democrats and Independents.
I didn't vote for Obama but he has turned out to be all
hat and no cattle. Obama may be better serving as a judge in government, weighing both sides of a political argument with keen insight.
The image that was sold by his campaign and the media, that
he will be a transformative president never manifested itself.
And why would it during a second term? Yes, I've lost the hope...
I would rather see a showdown with Paul and Obama,
than Gingrich (or fill in blank) and Obama.
Why doesn't Lizzy see this?
As an relevant association, let's not forget about Pastor Wright
during the Obama campaign. I agreed with many of the controversial
things he said, but the public perception is what counts.
And he was tarred by the NY papers as the Minister of Hate.
But Obama still won the election, because he offered change from
the continued wars and broken politics. Offering significant change
is powerful in a failing system. Obama offered it and couldn't deliver it, and now Paul offers an alternative.
This doesn't look good for his campaign. No it doesn't. But some of his theories about government are what lead people to support him, as Washington marinates inside its own corrupt bubble. All that we are left with is the ugly reality of the establishment people like Gingrich.
If it came down to Romney, Gingrich or Paul in charge of foreign policy,
I would still have to choose Ron Paul. I don't trust the Republican
establishment party with Iran. We just went through a decade of war,
and they portray this threat of Iran as requiring immediate action.
Thanks, but no thanks.
And then there's Obama. Mr. Candidate elusive. Talks a good game and does nothing about it. As Matt Damon just said, "You know, a one-term president with some balls who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of the country, much better."

Borger is great. She proves how corrupt the media is. She seems to hate herself and her cynicism. I would, being a shill like her.

We already have a false leader. I mean why change the status quo, right?
I disagree with his support on the the amendment. That would be a
field day for AIPAC if we had no 17th amendment.
I agree. If he is able to surpass the Republican establishment, he may be a better choice than our current leader that promised changed and delivered relatively nothing. This man offers a change against corrupt Washington that is appealing to a cynical public.
Good article and he makes a good point at the end:
"As bad as the Paul newsletters are -- let me emphasize again that they are awful -- I can't persuade myself that they should carry more weight than war, or civil liberties..."
He may rise up in the public for his counter perspective to his party, but the establishment aims to destroy him. I think his debate performances are great and it may make the difference in bringing him to the top of the dung heap. He offers another route for their party that creates an alternative vision for the badly damaged & corrupted system.
Shit Dan, I'm no follower of Paul, but it doesn't mean I would not vote for him over the other clowns, and that includes the incumbent spineless leader.
Many gave Obama a couple of years to get his bearings, but he is isn't what I'd say the majority of voters expected. It's ubiquitous among people I speak to, how many are so disenchanted with the false change we hoped for.
But Dan, I think you're onto something brilliant. Maybe Paul is secretly working to restore the confederacy, with his ally Alex Jones. Could be... That's why he wants the Fed abolished.
It's a real shame that the Donald Trump moderated Debate was cancelled on Dec. 27th. I'm sure he could have gotten to the bottom of Dr. Paul's secret hatred of all other races. After all, he resolved Obama's birth certificate...
Perhaps Bachman will have a new angle to hammer away at Paul.
She is a real tactician when it comes to hammering out a message,
like obamacare.

Here's a take on Hurt Locker's success
To earn its gold, "Hurt Locker" had to break what producer Greg Shapiro called "The Iraq War Curse," referring to all the movies touching on that conflict that had failed to find an audience. It had to weather attacks in the media and from some in the military who questioned the realism of how it portrayed the bomb-removal unit...
...Summit turned the Oscar strategy over to PR firm 42 West, where veteran campaigner Cynthia Swartz called the shots. Swartz was criticized for waiting until early December to send out the DVDs, even though the whole strategy revolved around getting the movie seen by as many voters as possible.
She also had to get attention from Academy voters and guild members for a movie without any marquee names and a subject that put off many people already weary of a war that never seemed to end. What Swartz did right was to center the campaign around Bigelow, a woman who directed with as much glory and guts as any man, and to feature writer/producer Mark Boal for his screenplay and real-life story as a journalist who was embedded with a bomb disposal unit in Iraq.
She had bound copies of the "Hurt Locker" script sent to every member of the Writers Guild of America, earning guild honors for the original screenplay and the same award at the Oscars.
Meanwhile, Fox seemed to downplay awards campaigning, letting Cameron take the lead. And what Cameron wanted to talk about was how frustrated he was that his actors, whose performances were captured by computer-generated technology, were not taken as seriously as live-action actors.
While his righteousness was sincere, that didn't go over well with many real-life actors who feel threatened by the possibility that they might be replaced by synthetic performers. That backlash might have mattered, because actors are by far the largest bloc of voters in the Academy.

- Israel's image tanks as it slowly loses support of US media and Europe
Josephus Flavius characterized Jews in the first century as a theocracy, because they didn't fit into the traditional aristocracy model.
Is it their destiny to repeat a this historic model? Because restoring an ethnic group to a place they may have dwelt 2000 years ago is probably not a great idea, unless you have enough troops to crush the opposition. And not having these colonial reinforcements to defend the encampment while taking more land, may prove the stupidest move of their government and military.
But they hope for the assistance of the American mercenary army to rescue them from the outlying dangers. That doesn't show much sovereignty for all the independence these Zionist brag about.
These supporters may foresee a tidal wave of world opinion coming against Israel in the next years. The US is the only supposed friend of Israel, and now that many in this country are seeing what kind of ally Israel is, the party's ending for the Zionist enterprise, their manufactured lies and treachery.
And they've burned so many bridges; Turkey and Egypt are recent examples.
- Howard Fineman seeks to redline Ron Paul's populist Iran ideas as extremist
He mentioned Iraq in a previous debate (Iowa?), when all the candidate were trying to out-man each other on the hard-line Iran stance.
It felt as if the audience got the message when he drew the parallel of going to war for Iran was eerily similar to the Iraq invasion.
It seemed to jog the collective memory of the audience (and the other candidates if only for a few seconds) about the last 8 years of a failed war, based on a pack of lies.

With Iran now in the cross-hairs, is it any more obvious that the Iraq War was just the first domino to fall in the Clean Break Strategy?
- Israeli university bids (w/ Cornell and $350 million) to set up on Roosevelt Island in NY
Yes, I am sticking to my assertion that Billionaire Bloomberg with the Help of Skorton at Cornell could & would help to steer the project for themselves, Cornell and Technicon. Zionists work to achieve their network of power by greasing there own pockets and their friends. This is another win for Bloomberg and friends.
If you can re-engineer a 3rd term as mayor, by saying others suggested I run again and squeaking by after you outspend your opponent 10 to 1, why could you not choose and heavily influence who wins this competition? Competitions are often rigged in the US, with the look of being fair. It's always political. Look at the Twin Tower redesign.
But the dreaded conspiracy you cite. Get real...
It's lost on you. Do you defend the illegal settlements?
It's not Jews. Israeli apartheid is what is being boycotted.
If apartheid is too strong for you, let's call it illegal land
theft in the name of religion.
Well, I'm surprised it wasn't an uber-Zionist giving the donation with Israel looming in the background. But don't you worry brother, I'm sure we'll see many more Zionist New Yorkers donating to the cause throughout the construction period.
Indeed, follow the money. When a 350 million dollar anonymous donation is given, there is a political machine at work. Bloomberg and Skorton know who the donor is, but when will the public know?
- 'Joker' now says he will play Tel Aviv
What a sad joke. And saying I'm a black kid from Bristol
is such a cop-out maneuver, if he posted the previous night that he read
up on the state of affairs. Flip flopper.
Someone probably called him and said we'll double it.
If what he posted was so quickly reversed.
- Is portrait of Mark Zuckerberg in 'The Social Network' anti-Semitic?
anti-semetic is such a loaded word.
"Portraying Jews in a negative way" is much better than antisemitic.
- Ron Paul's stunning antiwar performance: Iran threat recalls Iraq, 'a useless war that killed 1 million Iraqis' and 8000 Americans
He definitely deserves credit for voicing these issues. During the debates, the other candidates didn't argue his points, because he was clear in his message. Bachman, a one-note candidate (obamacare), attempted to and her point was weak.
I'm surprised how Paul has been able to openly discuss Israel and it's policies.
I can't recall a candidate in recent history who was so candid with the special relationship. (He has a tactful way of discussing Israel in these debates.)
With hope, his candidness begins to get the gears turning for the media lap-doggies.
- Settlers torch West Bank mosque, second attack in two days
If the state of Israel cannot control the scum population of their state, how do they expect to be hailed a democracy and beacon of light in the Middle East? That was a joke - the beacon of light part...
Fact is, the the state apparatus wants what the settlers want. So of course no settler will be brought in on serious charges.
- Israel's war on Christmas --Updated
seriously. Any propaganda machine can only bring people to a certain level of comprehension. But when the reality is as ugly as Israel, it's hard to buy the hasbara -and likely even harder to sell this snake oil to Joe Six Pack.
Whatever Christian Zionists believe in Israel are like lemming jumping off a cliff.
This guy is the king of schlock.
Aw Witty, you're soo annoying, your comments are just the punchline of a joke.
You had your chance to be straight with the crowd too many
times and always blow it.
You're incapable.
The only democracy in the middle east? I'm shocked. :D

Featured Article
Crossbone Isle is an in-game location functioning as a hidden dungeon-style location in Golden Sun. Located somewhere in the Karagol Sea, it is a lengthy series of puzzle-intensive floors, each guarded by a unique formation of "sub-boss"-style enemies and filled with powerful equipment such as the Cleric's Ring. It can only be reached through methods less-than-obvious to players; an earlier segment of it can be reached immediately after battling the Kraken during the Tolbi-bound Ship segment depending on the ordering in which you have chosen NPCs to row oars, while for the rest of the game it can be accessed by entering the pink tornado of the Tempest Lizard in Suhalla Desert and letting it carry you off-screen. Crossbone Isle has little background and no story relevance, and an incarnation that appears in Dark Dawn as post-game content exists only as a thematic callback to this dungeon.

Date for Advance tax is nearing and all the Assessees and their Tax Consultant must be busy in calculating advance tax payable for the Month of March. In this article we are discussing Interest payable Under Section 234A, 234B, 234C of the I.T. Act for default in furnishing return of Income , default in payment of Advance tax and for deferment of Advance tax .
(A) Where the return of income for any Assessment year is furnished after the due date specified in section 139(1) or is not furnished the assessee shall be liable to pay simple Interest @ 1% for every month or part of a month.
Section 139(1) specifies due dates for filing voluntary returns of a company, a person (other than a company), or any other assessee.
(B) The interest shall be payable for the period commencing from the date immediately following the due date and –
(1) Where the return is furnished after due date, ending on the date of furnishing the return; or
(2) Where no return has been furnished, ending on the date of completion of Assessment u/s 144. (Best Judge Assessment)
(C) The Interest shall be calculated on amount of tax on total income as determined u/s 143(1) or on regular assessment as reduced by the advance tax pain and any tax deducted or collected at source and relief from double taxation u/s 90, 90A or deduction from double taxation u/s 91 and amount of MAT credit allowed to be set off u/s 115JAA.
Key Note – Pay Your Tax Before the Due Date of Filing Your Return to avoid Interest U/s. 234A of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
(A) Where in any financial year, an assessee who is liable to pay advance tax u/s. 208 has failed to pay such tax or the advance tax paid by such assessee is less than 90% of the assessed tax, the assessee shall be liable to pay simple interest @ 1% for every month or part of a month.
(B) The period for which interest is payable would be the period from the first day of April next following such financial year to the date of determination of total income u/s. 143(1). However, if regular assessment u/s. 143(3) is completed, then interest is chargeble up to the date of regular assessment.
(C) The amount on which interest shall be calculated shall be the amount equal to the assessed tax or on the amount by which the advance tax paid falls short of the assessed tax.
Key Note – Pay 90% of Your Total Tax Payable after TDS on or before 31st March to avoid Interest U/s. 234B.
(A) In the case of companies calculation of interest u/s. 234C shall be as follows: Where the advance tax paid by the company on its current income on or before 15th June, 15th September, 15th December is less than 15%, 45% and 75% respectively on the returned income, then the company shall be liable to pay simple interest at the rate of 1% per month for a period of three months on the amount of the shortfall. However, in the case of company assessee, leverage has been provided as to the first 2 installments, falling due on 15th June & 15th September. A concessional rate of 12% and 36% has been provided as against 15% and 45% respectively. In case the companies does not pay even 12% or 36% as the case may be, interest u/s. 234C shall be levied on the entire sum of advance tax payable based on 15% and 45% for the respective installments of 15th June and 15th September.
(B) For other assessee, the existing pattern of calculation will apply as indicated below:
Where in any financial year the assessee who is liable to pay advance tax u/s. 208 has failed to pay such tax or the advance tax paid by the assessee on his current income:-
(1) On or before 15th September is less than 30% of the tax due on the returned income;
(2) On or before 15th December is less than 60% of the tax due on the returned income, then the assessee shall be liable to pay simple interest @ 1% per month on the shortfall for a period of 3 Months on the amount of such shortfall (i.e. 3%)
(C) Where the whole amount of advance tax paid by any assessee on or before 15th March is less than the tax due on the income returned then the assessee shall be liable to pay simple interest @ 1% on the amount of shortfall from the tax due on the returned income. This applies to companies as well as to other assessees.
(D) If the short fall in the payment of the tax due on the returned income is on account of underestimation or failure to estimate –
(1) Capital gains
(2) Winnings from lotteries, crossword puzzles, races (including horse races), card games and any other activity in the nature of gambling, betting etc.,
and if the assessee has paid the amount of tax payable in respect of the above mentioned income as part of the remaining installments of advance tax which are due or where no such installments are due, by the 31st March of the financial year, no interest shall be leviable in respect of such shortfall.
(E) "Tax due on the returned income" means the tax chargeable on the total income declared in the return of income furnished by the assessee for the assessment year commencing on the 1st day of April immediately following the financial year in which the advance tax is paid or payable as reduced by the amount of tax deductible or collectible at source on any income which is subject to such deduction or collection and which is taken into account in computing such total income. (Explanation to Section 234C).
Key Note – Pay 1000% of Your Total Tax Payable before 31st March to avoid Interest U/s. 234C.
Please Note- As Per Rule 119A of Income Tax Rules Any fraction beyond the nearest multiple of Rs. 100/- will be ignored in the calculation of interest payable or receivable by the assessee.

Moretown cyclist is one of two critically injured
SHOREHAM Police in Shoreham say a man is accused of driving into a group of bicyclists, critically injuring two of them.
The bicyclists had been participating in the Tour De Farm, a 30-mile ride on Sunday morning, when they were hit by a car on Route 74.
Police said 35-year-old Martin Veit, a 35 year-old cyclist from Moretown, suffered head and internal injuries after he went through the windshield. A 15-year-old girl from Williamstown, Mass., suffered a fractured pelvis.
Police have arrested the cars driver, 54-year-old Brian Miller, of Shoreham.
State Police say there was already a warrant out for Miller after he failed to appear for an unrelated DUI charge.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The League of Women Voters of Vermont will be taking part in National Voter...

Just the facts
I have never understood why an endorsement of a newspaper is that significant. It is only one persons opinion, the same as anyone else writing an editorial. Newspapers would serve the public better if they published the candidates voting records, interviewed them and published their answers. Just the facts, nothing but the facts. Newspapers are reporters of the news and not supposed to be or make the news.
Print agreement
It would serve all citizens of Aiken County to see in print the legal agreement allowing the late salvage yard owner to store vehicles on state highway right of way in perpetuity. Other salvage businesses do not do it. Stop hiding behind an agreement that may or may not exist. Perhaps the county attorney will file a lawsuit to have this mess pushed back behind the fence. This entry into Aiken can be made into a showplace that welcomes all, instead of an eyesore with the potential to cause injury or death to motorists or pedestrians.
I have watched Aiken Country go down over the last 70 years of my life. The last three presidents that worked for the people were: Truman; Eisenhower, who warned us of a greedy and dangerous military industrial complex; and Kennedy, who was killed because he didnt want to go into Vietnam. Ross Perot was our last chance at having a leader who clearly knew how to run a business and told it as it really was. We have had presidents and congresses from both sides with various mixes over the years. No matter the mix, we always spend more than we have. Clintons surplus was a bogus batch of smoke and mirrors, and he blew our moral compass. Reagan blew out our budgets. Then came George Bush and Obama, and the lunacy really began. These two will go down as the worst two presidents in our history.
Generous folks
There is so much bad news today that Id like to contribute some good news. My husband and I were out to dinner at a local chain restaurant on Sunday, and the waitress told us that someone had paid for our dinner. We were very pleased that someone had paid it forward and we were included. Wed like to thank them for their generosity. We are Northern transplants and always impressed with the kind and generous folks in Aiken.
Great employee
Kudos to the technician who performed a service far beyond his normal job description for an elderly couple. This action reflects very highly on the outstanding character of this young man and on his employer for its ability to attract this kind of employee.

This is a very attractive necklace from the Art Deco Era. It is a beautiful polished cabechon onyx set in a 10K white gold enameled frame which is attached with three pearls and an enameled connector attached to a 10K, 16 inch white gold chain. The onyx drop measures 1 1/2 inches from the chain and 3/4 of an inch wide. It is all original and in excellent condition. This is a lovely example of artistry from the Art Deco period.

'How you?" The gentleman in the sunglasses asked, not of me. "Everything safe?" I looked forward at the man behind the wheel, expectantly.
"Yah, yah, man, everything safe," Bunn replied. And at the moment, it was. Everything was safe. I leaned back in my seat behind him.
Bunn was our taxi driver during my family's weeklong sojourn on Jost Van Dyke, the smallest of the main British Virgin Islands. According to the local nurse-practitioner, there are just 198 souls on the island, all catering in some way to the tourist trade.
One of three taxi drivers on the island, Bunn drives a jerry-rigged pickup that's spray-painted white and green and bears the message on its bumper: "What Jah bless may no man corse." He handed me a fresh mango and smiled as he dropped us off at our hotel.

Yesterday, Governor Romney swept all five primaries, including Delaware, which was Newt Gingrich's last best hope for continuing his campaign - and in Delaware, he got stomped. Today, Gingrich announced that he is ending his campaign for the Presidential nomination.
In his announcement, Newt had some pretty interesting things to say - things that we all should be paying close attention to. From the CBS News report:
"I think you have to at some point be honest with what's happening in the real world, as opposed to what you'd like to have happened," Gingrich said. "Governor Romney had a very good day yesterday. He got 67 [percent] in one state, and he got 63 in other, 62 in another. Now you have to give him some credit. I mean this guy's worked six years, put together a big machine, and has put together a serious campaign.
"I think obviously that I would be a better candidate, but the objective fact is the voters didn't think that," Gingrich said. "And I also think it's very, very important that we be unified."
(bold is mine) As has been written here on these pages several times, the voters are the ones who chose Governor Romney. He is going to be our nominee. And as Newt says, it IS very important (now that the primaries have indicated our choice) that we are - or become - unified.
This has been a pretty nasty GOP primary season. There are a lot of us (myself included) who don't particularly like Mitt Romney as a candidate. But our candidate he is. We can lament what might have been and we can fret a bit about what kind of president Mitt might be. But in the end the mission is now to focus all of our efforts on defeating Barack Obama by supporting Mitt Romney as our nominee. And it's not just the "us" here at Redstate and in the trenches of the electorate...it's also the other former candidates: Perry, Cain, Bachmann, Santorum, Huntsman - and Gingrich. The GOP must now line up behind Romney.
But that doesn't mean we don't push Romney to adhere as closely as possible to conservative principles. He doesn't just get a pass. Daniel made a good point earlier in his diary "Romney Must Coalesce Around Conservatives..." He's making the case to us, not the other way around. Let's keep the pressure on...but remember who the real target is, now that the primaries are pretty much over.
From here on out, I support Mitt Romney for President.

LOOKS LIKE Ed Rendell is being hired at NBC News, though in what capacity is not yet clear, sources say.
Politico.com reported yesterday that Rendell was close to signing with MSNBC, for which he would become a "regular political contributor for the 2012 campaign cycle," according to Politico's David Catanese. We're told Rendell could be used on other NBC News broadcasts, too.
An NBC News spokeswoman declined comment yesterday.
"I'm doing it mostly because I want to continue to participate in the public dialogue and speeches and television are the best venues to do that," the former governor told Catanese. Rendell was in D.C. yesterday and did not return our request for comment by deadline.
