My husband and I recently stayed at the Walden on the Pond when we decided to take a spontaneous weekend trip. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the picturesque grounds overlooking the pond and the quaint, Victorian porch done in white wicker and beautiful hanging flowering plants. Eating breakfast on the porch was serene and relaxing, but you can eat indoors as well, on cute wicker tables in the always accessible kitchen area. The rooms were well appointed and were clean as a whistle, and the friendly staff met our every need. The beach was just a few short blocks away, and the nearby restaurants were top notch. Walden brings you back to a quieter place in time, and is an awesome getaway spot at the Jersey Shore!

My wife and I just returned from a 4 night stay at the Walden on the Pond Inn and would recommend it to anyone. The management were very hospitable and co-operative. Our room was spacious and clean, the staff was friendly and responsive. I am thrilled that I found this perfect spot, and I am already booking my next trip!

My Husband and I had a lovely time at this Inn. We never realized it was just 4 short blocks from the train and took just an hour 1/2. Our room was lovely and very affordable. The staff also made us feel very welcome and at home. The beach was so relaxing. I never thought this could be found in New Jersey. The porch and also what can I say about the lovely pond. We watched and saw birds all morning. Just a Great Escape.

We stayed 2 nights in July 2010 with our 2 girls, who loved the "pretty pink B&B". The room was quaint, with a pretty adjoining sitting area that had a trundle bed, which was perfect for our girls. The bathroom and shower was quite small, but it's an old house, not a hotel. Ronna was very welcoming and helpful in finding local restaurants. Our girls also loved the cats and feeding the ducks out back. A very nice spot to stay in Spring Lake.

Also it had everything we needed - I loved how it was furnished. The owner always made sure we had everything we needed- the Porch and Pond were also very relaxing.

Then knowing it was a Murano they should have been extra careful. As far as I am concerned, they claim to service cars and if they come in working, they better leave working plus working better with fresh oil. Checking the filter makes sense, replacing one that does not need it does not, putting it back wrong is even worse. How can you justify what was done here and even saying it can happen across the street means it also can and likely did happen on that side of the street. Face it, mechanics and car dealers are often crooks and we spend a ton of money on cars. A lot of these guys bring all kinds of prejudice to their business and will do all kinds of things to screw you and have some excuse as to why. I don't agree with CK76, you try pulling out with a loose oil filter on a new 1 Ton truck and see how happy you become ten miles down the road in the middle of nowhere as your top end starts to talk back.
There is a lot to be said about finding a decent mechanic, not a dealer, who can do this stuff, or do it yourself if possible. These guys get away with a lot and can cost you some serious problems and financial loss and pass it off as an honest mistake.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

To think that telling you about your airfilter, dirty or not, is not a ripoff. As far as the problem with the car dying, you drive a Nissan Muranno, this is a common issue with airfilter housing and air intake tube. It doesnt happen everytime, but it does happen. There are just a few of us in the industry that know exactly what to look for on most of the vehicles we service. I have had this happen to me a few times and yes it is frustrating, but its really not the end of the world. Human error is expected on occasion. As far as the guys across the street, I used to work for that guy and hes about as shady as they come.

I arrived in Fox, it's small. It was cloudy, and there wasn't anything to do. Lucky me, I stayed in a hostel with a private cinema! The TV room was amazing. A massive flat screen TV and three rows of cinema chairs, a sofa and numerous bean bags. I had a bit of a cold so I just hid in there for the rest of the evening catching up with films, you really need to do this from time to time.
I did get out and see the glacier the next day
I was amazed at how dirty the glacier looked, it could certainally do with a spring clean. It picks up all manner of rocks, stones and mud on it decent through the valley and the tip of it looked manky black from the hillside that I viewed it from.
I then took a massive walk down and around to get up close to the face of the glacier, you're not allowed to go up and touch it and now I'm not surprised. While I was sitting there I saw several small rocks and boulders fall from the ice smashing into the ground below. It travels at about 1 meter per day so you can imagine how active it is. It also looked a lot cleaner from this angle, in fact the blue light that shone from the face of the ice was amazing, perhaps I should have forked out the money and gone on the glacier walk.
This left me with half an afternoon and evening to spend in Fox township. I hid in the cinema again, I loved it again!
One thing that's changed with me in New Zealand is that as soon as it's dark I start thinking about going to bed, and it gets dard about 9:30pm. I can't help it, if I'm not in bed by 10:30 these days then I can count it as a late night! It must be all the fresh air or something.
I'm heading north again, a couple of last stops to make on the south island before heading to the apparently inferiour North Island, we'll see.

On a wildWednesday night when no less than 40 players took the field at RFK Stadium, thebrief list of those who lasted the full 90 minutes of D.C. United's exhibitionmatch against AC Milan is noteworthy. Its members: Clarence Seedorf, AlessandroNesta, Alexandre Pato, Christian Abbiati and the home team's solerepresentative, Jordan Graye.
Not badcompany for a rookie MLS defender widely assumed to be training fodder a fewmonths ago when United used their only pick of the 2010 SuperDraft to make himthe 55th overall selection.
His draftday in Philadelphia this winter was overshadowed by the news that D.C. hadre-acquired goalkeeper Troy Perkins via the allocation draft – using theirfirst-round pick as a makeweight in the deal – and his local roots suggestedconvenience rather than selectivity at work in Graye's eventual acquisition byUnited.
Yet theUniversity of North Carolina product has proved to be one of the few highlightsof a disconsolate D.C. campaign, staking a claim to the right back position inthe injury-enforced absence of veteran Bryan Namoff with simplicity, composureand the essentially uncoachable trait of raw speed.
"JordanGraye, he's an incredible athlete. His pace is great, his fitness is great –the kid can run forever," United assistant coach Kris Kelderman said. "Becauseof injuries he had an opportunity, and he's made the most of it. He's stepped up.
For yearsNamoff has been an institution on the right side of the United defense, and theteam has missed his leadership and steady play since whiplash and otherconcussion-related problems forced him out of action late last season. ButGraye, the sixth player to occupy the D.C. right back spot this year, hashauled himself up the depth chart and brought stability to the position whilealso giving the lineup a much-needed dose of athleticism.
He'sgenerally shown limited ambition with the ball at his feet, and as with anyrookie learning on the job, Graye's inexperience has led to mistakes. LastSaturday in Houston, for example, his failure to recognize Dominic Oduro'ssubtle movement into space allowed the Dynamo striker to lash home thegame-clinching goal.
With hisselection options constantly limited by injuries, United coach Curt Onalfo hastried to blend the experience of center backs Juan Manuel Pena and Carey Talleywith the youthful vigor of Graye and Rodney Wallace on the outside of his backfour. Discouraging results have understandably prompted doubts about the unit'scomposition as a whole, but a host of more experienced players have failed tosettle in on the right side, and Graye can now consider himself the incumbentin that role. Onalfo even tried him out at left back in the second half of theMilan friendly.
"He'swilling to listen and learn, and we're excited about his potential," Keldermansaid.
Graye isblessed with recovery speed that most MLS defenders would kill for, and hisconfidence has grown noticeably with each passing week.
"I'mgetting a little bit more comfortable. I don't think I've had nearly as good aperformance as I think I can have, but I'm staying solid, staying simple," Grayeexplained. "That's what the coaches ask from me and for me, it's all defensefirst."
Graye'sprogress offers further vindication for the United youth academy which alsoprepared teammates Andy Najar and Bill Hamid for their progression into thesenior squad. He spent most of his high school years playing with D.C.'s U-14,U-15, U-16, and U-20 teams in addition to his responsibilities at Reston FC andDeMatha Catholic High School in the Washington suburbs, giving theBlack-and-Red ample opportunity to monitor his development.
Now thetables have turned as his parents and uncle eagerly make the short trip to RFKto snap up his allotment of tickets for home matches. Few other observers wouldhave predicted his rapid ascent but the soft-spoken 22-year-old reveals anunexpected streak of self-assurance when discussing his own progress.
"Well, Imean, to tell you the truth, I did," he said when asked whether he expected toreach this point so early in his first pro campaign. "Honestly, I didn't expectto be a fourth-round pick. To me, this is not a surprise. I'm just taking it instride and working hard, that's pretty much all I can do."

Well done Moo.
Congrats to you and Davey, you both looked awesome and the wedding was lovely (one of the most relaxed and chilled out ones i've ever been to). All the best for the future!
It went off without a hitch (well, the cupcakes nearly melted in the car but they were alright in the end) and everyone behaved themselves. The Bride and Groom wore crocs, so The Boi and wore them as well.
The full Flickr-set is here (only a dozen photos).
Oh, and she loved the shawl! She didnt take it off all day... ;)

USA, June 13, 2002: Fearing they may be held responsible for the nation's expanding waistline, U.S. food and beverage makers are going on the defensive with obesity. Some packaged-food companies are contemplating advertisements that would discourage consumers from overeating their products. A handful are giving exercise equipment to schools and expanding the health-and-wellness information on their Web sites. Others are mulling legal issues in case they are accused in lawsuits of promoting a growing national health crisis. In December, a surgeon General's report warned that obesity rates in the U.S. had reached epidemic levels and called for a "national plan of action." Last month, the Grocery Manufacturers of America, the powerful food-trade group, urged a congressional panel not to blame individual foods as the cause of America's weight gain. Recently a handful of lawsuits have accused food companies of deceptive marketing. Sued for billing its french fries as vegetarian, even though they are made with a beef flavoring, McDonald's Corp., said it would donate $10 million to Hindu groups and others in the U.S. as a partial settlement. A similar complaint was filed against Pizza Hut, alleging that the company concealed the use of beef products in its "vegetarian" pizzas. While the current litigation mainly targets companies for allegedly misleading claims, not for selling fattening foods, some legal experts see the cases as a portent for future obesity suits.
JAMMU, INDIA, June 16, 2002: Islamic guerrillas threw grenades and fired guns at Hindu pilgrims trudging down from a mountaintop shrine in Jammu-Kashmir, starting a battle that killed three Hindu children and three of the pilgrims' Muslim escorts, police said Sunday. This is a revision to yesterday's report that stated only two people were killed. Religious tension swept through two towns near the site of the fighting Saturday after rumors spread that the Muslims, Muslim members of the local Village Defense Committee, armed and trained by the government to defend against guerrilla attacks, were actually killed by Hindus avenging the deaths of the children -- two boys and a teen-age girl. Police in Jammu, the winter capital of Jammu-Kashmir, said militants lobbed grenades and fired automatic weapons at about 500 Hindu pilgrims Saturday afternoon as they walked down a mountain path from the shrine of Hadh Mata, 120 miles northeast of Jammu. Seven pilgrims were wounded, and three of them -- two boys, 11 and 13, and a girl, 17 -- died on way to a hospital, police said. Police and armed escorts traveling with the pilgrims fired back, and a gunbattle persisted for hours, police said. Two Muslim escorts and a Muslim official traveling as a representative of the government were killed. Police said they died in the cross fire, but the rumors that their deaths were retaliation sparked religious tension in the mountain towns of Kishtwar and Bhadarwah. Police stepped up security to avert clashes.
KABUL, AFGHANISTAN, June 10, 2002: Afghanistan's tiny Hindu and Sikh communities, forced to the brink of extinction by the Taleban regime, are hoping to make a social and political re-emergence at the Loya Jirga Assembly from June 10 to 16. Community leaders said their presence at the assembly was a reassertion of the rights of the nation's only non-Muslim minorities and that they expected the tribal gathering to alleviate the suffering of the country's 30,000 Sikhs and Hindus, most of who have fled." We want somebody who would treat all Afghans -- irrespective of their religious and ethnic backgrounds -- as his own equal children," said Awtar Singh, a delegate to the Loya Jirga from the eastern province of Paktia. Sikhs and Hindus, united in adversity, are close in Afghanistan. In predominantly Muslim Afghanistan, they share the same temples as well as many religious ceremonies."We are from Afghanistan, having to share its every joy and grief. Loya Jirga is very important for us because we have suffered under the Taleban, we had our temples destroyed," he said. Autar Singh, an ex-officer from the Paktia Army Corps, recounted a long list of edicts announced by the religious militia which were aimed at eventually ridding Afghanistan of its Hindu and Sikh population. "We were told not to wear Muslim outfits, not to carry guns, not to mingle with Muslims, not to build more temples, to wear yellow clothes and to put up yellow flags on our houses and shops," he said.
LONDON, U.K., May 3, 2002: The appearance of an image of Lord Ganesha, Lord Siva, Lord Krishna or Goddess Lakshmi on iced fruit cakes, sold by Selfridges on Oxford Street, has caused alarm with some Hindus in the United Kingdom. Bimal Krishna Das of the UK Council of Hindu Temples said, "I think this is depicting the Hindu pantheon in a mocking way." Vishva Hindu Parishad's UK general secretary Kishore Ruparelia adds, "I am flabbergasted that they have gone to these lengths to depict our gods and goddesses." Made by a company called Seriously Scrumptious for the Selfridge store, the hand made cakes are one of many luxury deserts. Rita Hraiz, company founder who is half-Indian and half Lebanese says, " We put love into what we do. We are not embarrassed to talk about our spiritual leanings. Quite a lot of our staff have been to India and feel a lot of love for the country and 20 per cent of our profits go to the Tulsi Trust, which serves some villages near Vrindavan."
USA, June 3, 2002: Scientists have long depended on animals to help them understand and explain the human condition. Nearly one-half of all grants awarded by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) fund animal experiments. This amounts to several billion US dollars a year. This lengthy article offers debates of those who support in-vitro biomedical research, or research that takes place in an artificial environment, as well as those who favor in-vivo methods, research which take place in the living bodies of animals. Ray Greek, director of Americans for Medical Advancement, claims using animal models is not only a waste of time but inherently harmful. "For 10 years, in-vivo methods misled AIDS researchers. No result obtained from primate studies can be seriously considered valid in humans as long as the observation has not been made in man also." The article further states that of 11,000 anticancer chemicals developed in mice, none helped humans and while 5 milligrams of botulinum kills man, 10 grams has no effect on dogs or cats. Some animal tests have lead to erroneous conclusions,for instance, that smoking is noncarcinogenic and that benzene is safe. Critics of in-vivo methods argue that animals don't accurately represent humans, that naturally occurring diseases cannot be artificially induced and one cannot safely assume a correlation between animal reaction to a drug and that of humans. Alternative methods include autopsy and biopsy, physical models, genetic research and mathematical and computer modeling.
VARANASI, INDIA, June 15, 2002: The local administration has responded to an offer from Italy seeking collaboration between the two ancient cities of Venice and Varanasi to fight against pollution and all other agents that destroy the quality of human life as well as environment. Divisional commissioner Manoj Kumar is likely to visit Venice soon to finalize the project. In February last year, state investment commissioner, posted in New Delhi, received an e-mail from Alberto Cannetta of Italy, highlighting the cultural importance of the two cities. It was further stated that the work done by Consorzio Laguna, an institution tackling the pollution menace, had been universally considered as an example of the man's fight to preserve environment and water resources for a better future for the city. In the light of the recent meeting between UP chief minister and Union minister for urban development in Varanasi, some concrete projects might be identified for implementation in the holy city. "Adoption of Varanasi as a sister city will not only give a major boost to tourism but also help in all-round development of the millennia old city," said Anoop Srivastava, assistant director, UP Tourism.

BERENIKE, EGYPT, June 12, 2002: Excavation of an ancient seaport on Egypt's Red Sea found spices, gems and other exotic cargo showing that sea trade linking the Roman Empire and India 2,000 years ago rivaled the legendary Silk Road at times, archaeologists say. Co-directors of the dig, Willeke Wendrich, of the University of California, Los Angeles and Steven Sidebotham, of the University of Delaware, report their findings in the July issue of the journal Sahara. Archaeologists who have spent the last nine years excavating the town of Berenike say they have recovered an array of artifacts that are the best physical evidence yet of the extent of sea trade between the Roman Empire and India. They also uncovered numerous beams hewn of teak, a wood indigenous to India, and Indian sailcloth. The dry climate at Berenike preserved many organic materials from India that have never been found in the more humid subcontinent. Indian pottery found in the 30-acre site suggests Indian traders lived in the town amid a hodgepodge of other cultures. Archaeologists found evidence that a dozen different scripts, including Tamil-Brahmi, Greek, Latin and Hebrew, were used in Berenike. Elizabeth Lyding Will, an emeritus professor of classics at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, said the finds help add "a whole new dimension to Roman archaeology." "It looks to me that India was some sort of engine driving Roman trade during the early empire. It could have been the chief focus of their trade."
BANGKOK, THAILAND, June 13, 2002: More than 100 religious leaders of major faiths launched a world peace council on Wednesday, pledging to work toward reducing sectarian conflicts, especially in Asia and the Middle East. The council was established at the start of a three-day meeting in Bangkok of Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Jain, Muslim and Hindu clerics with the support of the United Nations. The World Council of Religious Leaders, which aims to actively intervene in conflict areas, is the outcome of the recommendations of the Millennium World Peace Summit held at the United Nations in August 2000. "There is a sense of somber urgency among the leaders" to work for peace, said Bawa Jain, secretary general of the Millennium World Peace Summit. "The use of religion to promote divisiveness and violence must be countered by religious leaders from all traditions willing to become actively engaged in peace building," he said. Addressing the conference, Israeli Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau said religion has caused many gulfs between peoples "but religion can also be a bridge. Let's build the bridges and work together to freedom, to love, to peace for the entire world," he said. The news report did not say who the Hindu representatives to the council were.
KASHMIR, INDIA, June 15, 2002: Muslim militants attacked a procession of pilgrims, firing indiscriminately and lobbing grenades, killing two of them and injuring two others in Khora-Kanthwara area of Kishtwar Tehsil in Doda district on Saturday afternoon. The area is about 300 miles north of Jammu. The militants fired from a hilltop in the area when the procession was on way to Kud Mata Devi, the police sources said. Two of the four seriously injured pilgrims later succumbed to injuries, they said. Security personnel accompanying the procession retaliated forcing the militants to retreat in the forest area, the sources said, adding reinforcement has been rushed from various towns of Doda district to track down the ultras. Several attacks on Hindus have occured in this area over the last few years.
TORONTO, CANADA, May 18, 2002: Many religious North Americans believe the idea of cloning amounts to scientists playing God in a way that's dangerous and sinful. According to this article, such concerns are based on the Biblical concept of God and Creation. The advaita or non-dualism philosophy of Hinduism does not separate God from man. Instead, man is engineering Divine Law alongside the architect. In other words, God is executing his will through humans, including scientists. While researching this issue the author, Ajit Adhopia, came across an interesting Hindu viewpoint. By taking a living cell, a scientist can clone the physical structure of an organism, but the process doesn't necessarily duplicate the soul, which means that the cloned person may not possess the characteristics or personality of its original. From a Hindu perspective, if people with bad karmas were to be cloned, their souls may reincarnate in another body, while their cloned bodies may be assigned the souls of others. According to a report summarizing Hindus spiritual leaders' varied thoughts, submitted to Bill Clinton's National Bioethical Advisory committee, "A cloned body might be useful." "Instructions exist in ancient Indian (Hindu) texts explaining how to conceive a child of a passionless and poised nature, all based on the thoughts and yogic practices of the parents during conception," it says, "If that is true, might not cloning, with its total elimination of human sexuality, provide a physical-emotional home for an advanced soul seeking an earthly passage of solace, needing to live without emotion or powerful desires and sentiments?"
KAUAI, HAWAII, June 15, 2002: The ground-breaking book, "How to Become a Hindu" by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, has been posted in its entirety at "source" above. The press release reads, "What is it like to enter an Asian religion fully? And how does a Hindu recharge his faith with deeper meaning and life-guidance? Stories from Americans, Canadians and Europeans recounting their dramatic, sometimes intense, passage from Western faiths to Hinduism vivify and clarify this historic religious pattern. Their pioneering tales will fascinate social and religion readers. Marriage between couples of differing faiths is more and more commonplace in a global world. Indo-Americans who are Hindu are often marrying outside their religion, and eventually face upsetting challenges in their married life, especially when it comes to raising children in a religious way. "How to Become a Hindu" offers honest reflection and recommendations for these couples. For Hindu/yoga leaders--ordained and lay--the book is the first-ever how-to guide, an immensely useful tool explaining each step of the way into Hinduism. The core meaning of Hindu identity and Hindu openness to newcomers is explored with stimulating insight, clear perception and powerful voices from India's great thinkers. The idea of conversion to Hinduism is much debated. As this book gently chronicles, conversion is often balked at by overly-westernized Hindus to the degree that misinformation and disinformation litter the debating field. How to Become a Hindu brings together for the first time the historic and contemporary views from scripture and powerful Hindu thinkers that clearly uphold and celebrate an easy, natural passage to Hinduism. Non-Hindus and Hindus alike will find here insights and knowledge not normally found in conventional Hindu books. Includes a name list and comparison of the beliefs of the world's religions."
LONDON, ENGLAND, May 20, 2002: Jailed heroin addicts are being taught yoga and acupuncture as part of a unique rehabilitation program. Many who commit crimes to support drug habits are being given the holistic sessions to relieve stress and wean them off their addictions. Prisoners being rehabilitated back into the community and convicted criminals on probation are taking part in this trial program currently offered in Leicestershire and Rutland. Assistant chief officer of Leicestershire and Rutland Probation Service, Paul Hindson, said the program has proven a great success so far. He said: "I have not come across any other schemes in the country that have the range of interventions that we have. A drug user comes with a multitude of problems and we have a multitude of ways to deal with those problems. Some things we do are standard process across the country, like group sessions and developing life skills. But we also have a number of alternative methods like yoga and acupuncture."

BALI, INDONESIA, June 13, 02: The Balinese consider the sea a holy place that plays a crucial role in their lives, either through religion or culture. They consider the sea as the beginning and the end of one's life cycle. They take tirtha (holy waters) from the sea to be used for purification and rituals. The Balinese people pay homage to the sea and preserve it as a most precious asset. Before many rituals in major Hindu temples or special events, devotees form processions and carry flowers and fruit offerings toward many beaches. Entire beaches and coastlines in Bali were left untouched for centuries, until the province was developed to become Indonesia's most prominent tourist destination in the early 1960s. Investors hunt for beach locations to make way for tourism-related development projects including hotels, villas and golf courses. A former Bali governor, I. B. Oka, issued a decree in the 1990s that allowed investors to develop tourist facilities and manage the coastal areas in front of their properties. The decree also shifted the function of beaches from the social and religious domain to limited and restricted business facilities. Since then, parts of the coastline have been closed to the public. Local Hindus believe the public's right to use, enjoy and to perform religious ceremonies that should be held in beach areas have been denied by government regulation and by developers.
SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA, June 14, 2002: The Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh of the Greater Bay Area presents the First Annual Summer Hindu Youth Forum on Saturday June 22, 2002 at Serra Park in Sunnyvale, California, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Thousands gather to pay respects to Vilasrao
Police sources said seven lakh people are expected to attend Vilasrao Deshmukh's last rites.
Latur: Thousands of people lined up on the road to pay their last respects to Union Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh whose body arrived in Latur on Wednesday morning.
The body of Deshmukh, who passed away at the Global Hospital in Chennai on Tuesday, was flown in an Air Force plane to Latur early Wednesday.
On way to his native village Babhalgaon, the procession of the vehicle carrying Deshmukh's body was impeded by thousands of mourners who blocked traffic on the main road in a bid to have a last glimpse of the leader.
Shops and commercial establishments in Latur have downed shutters since Tuesday soon after the news of Deshmukh's passing away reached them.
Police sources said seven lakh people are expected to attend Deshmukh's last rites.
The body will be kept at a special stage erected in Dayanand Vidyalaya premises at the village to enable people to pay tributes from 10 am to 2 pm, sources said.
Bewteen 2 pm and 3 pm, the body will be taken to Deshmukh's Gadhi, his ancestral home, for religious rites.
Deshmukh's mortal remains would be consigned to flames at around 4 pm at his farm at Babhalgaon, close to the place where his father Dagdojirao was cremated.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi will also arrive in Latur to pay their last respects to the senior Congress leader.
Those expected to attend the last rites include Union Ministers Sharad Pawar and Sushilkumar Shinde, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, BJP president Nitin Gadkari, MNS chief Raj Thackeray, senior Maharashtra ministers and a few other chief ministers and governors.
Union Minister Praful Patel, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan, MNS president Raj Thackeray and his legislators, filmmakers Karan Johar and Sajid Khan, Congress leaders Kripashankar Singh, Mohammed Arif Naseem Khan were prominent among those who paid their last respects.
Filmmaker Vashu Bhagnani, whose daughter is Deshmukh's youngest daughter-in-law, was also present with his family.
The entire Deshmukh clan - late Vilasrao's wife Vaishali, his sons Amit, Riteish and Dheeraj and their wives accepted condolences from VIPs and ordinary villagers.
Amit, Deshmukh's eldest son, was composed while his younger siblings and their mother could not control their tears. Vilasrao's younger brother Dilip, his wife and daughter were also present.
Police had to resort to a minor lathicharge to control the mourners.

Don Drabble leaves a wealth of memories among friends and family, and his indelible mark on Eltham's history.
Don died following a three-car accident near Ngaere on State Highway 3 last Thursday.
Says South Taranaki District Council Deputy Mayor and close friend Alex Ballantyne: "He was one of the real oldies. He loved Eltham, and he had worked for Eltham. We will miss him. We really will."
The 81-year-old Eltham stalwart died at the scene around 6pm after pulling out of Cornwall Road in front of an oncoming Taranaki Regional Council vehicle driven north by Rick Caskey (51) and also hitting south-bound Juanita Jordan (49) and Heather Neill (59), from Huiroa.
Rick was hospitalised with chest injuries, but was back home on Monday.
Juanita says she and Heather were underway from Ngaere to Eltham when they noticed the vehicle coming from Cornwall.
"I was keeping aware of our position. The two cars impacted and debris was flying everywhere. The regional council car skidded across the road in front of us.
I braked and was almost at a standstill when it hit us," says Juanita, describing her and passenger Heather's ordeal. They sustained no injuries.
They both had done a first aid course in July, which they said held them in good stead, having also covered dealing with road accidents.
"I got out and grabbed my phone to ring 111. I had to go away to the road sign to see where we were and then went to the council car to see if anyone needed help.
"The driver got out of the vehicle and was lying on the side," says Heather. She has been in five previous car crashes, but says this is the first that had claimed a life.
Juanita went to Don's aid and says she just kept talking to him, staying at his side until help arrived.
The pair praised the emergency services, saying the Eltham Volunteer Fire Brigade was on the scene within minutes, followed closely by the police and ambulance, and also those of the public who helped direct traffic until the brigade arrived.
"It is very tragic for his family and for Eltham," says Juanita.
Don, fondly known as Mr Town Hall for his pivotal role in saving the town's iconic hall, last week received a Local Heroes medal in the Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year Awards in New Plymouth for his contribution to his town, and earlier this year received life membership from the Friends of the Eltham Town Hall and a 60-year badge from the Eltham Savage Club.
"It is wonderful that we could have honoured him before his death," says the Friend's Pauline Turpie. "Don and Margaret (his wife) have been staunch supporters of the hall.
Karen Christian, Chairperson Friends of the Eltham Town Hall, says Don grew up coming to Town Hall functions from school Fancy Dress balls to a lifetime connection with the Eltham Town Hall.
"We estimate Don has been involved with the hall for 75 years. His family association is also strong with his father Harry Drabble, being a former Projectionist in this hall, and Mayor. An electrical contractor by trade, Don has played many parts in his enthusiastic involvement with the town hall both politically and socially. As an Eltham Borough Councillor, he was spokesperson for the hall, and he too became a projectionist. His community involvement and dedication is immense."
Don also wrote the historical record for the conservation plan for the hall and a book about Taranaki dairy trailblazer Chew Chong.
Don Drabble's legacy to his community and the local Savage Club includes a rise-and-fall stage.
Don has performed throughout New Zealand as a songster, musician, storyteller and sketch artist as well as being in a haka group, and to many groups including the RSA and senior citizens.
"His harmonica playing was of note, as was his keyboard and double bass playing. Don is a life member of the club and is a past Rangatira and long-time committee member who has served the club over 60 years 'with distinction'," club member Jim Frandsen earlier told the Stratford Press.
Don was a founding member of the local Lions club and helped Alex restore the World War I canon still used today in parades.
"He was a really nice bloke, a really giving and energetic and talented man," says Alex, adding that Don's main legacy is his set example. He was a really clever and selfless man, but also really, really humble. He was always thinking of others - never had a grizzle about other people or a bad word to say about anybody," says Alex.
A service for Don will be held at the Eltham Town Hall tomorrow at 11am. In preference of flowers a donation to the Alzheimer's donation will be appreciated.

Dartmoor's Conservation AreasConservation areas are an important part of Dartmoor's historic environment and focus in particular upon the historic cores of our settlements. From time to time the National Park is required to consider designation of further Conservation Areas and to keep all of them under review. There are currently 25 Conservation Areas within Dartmoor National Park.
A Conservation Area is defined as 'an area of special architectural or historic interest, the character and appearance of which, it is desirable to preserve or enhance'.
Dartmoor's designated Conservation Areas contain listed buildings (protected in their own right), historic buildings and structures, spaces and views, trees etc., and this necessitates the Authority paying special attention to change in the character, setting and approaches to these areas. Demolition of certain buildings within an area for example may require Conservation Area Consent.
As part of this process of change we undertake the production of Conservation Area Character Appraisals which identify and define the special interest of an area. We also give specialist advice on enhancement proposals for conservation areas and identify other areas which may be suitable for future designation. To date, 19 Character Appraisals and 6 Draft Character Appraisals have been prepared for all of our conservation areas.
As well as buildings and landscape features, trees also contribute to the special interest of a Conservation Area. The importance of Trees in Conservation Areas is recognised in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (external site, opens new window) which makes special provision for trees in Conservation Areas which are not already protected by a Tree Preservation Order.

The Samsung Galaxy Note was one of the surprise successes of 2011 and its success has continued into this year.
New information, posted by Eldar Murtazin, reported that the Samsung Galaxy Note has sold one million units in each of the last two months. That brings its total sales up to a whopping 7 million which is quite something for a device which was initially snubbed by a number of UK operators.
The Samsung Galaxy Note's success has had a huge affect on the rest of the smartphone market because other manufacturers have been forced to include larger touch-screens in their devices. For those who've never come across the Galaxy Note it has a 5.3 inch touch-screen and was promoted as a hybrid device sitting between a tablet and a smartphone.
3G reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Note last year where we concluded that "The Samsung Galaxy Note is a fantastic device that offers a host of features and great power". You can read our full Galaxy Note review by clicking here.
Three have some great deals on the Samsung Galaxy Note, which is available in both White and Black. You can pickup the device on the One Plan for just £32 a month which gets you 2,000 minutes, 5,000 texts and unlimited mobile data.

Team Trivia 2012 Winner
Did you know that grammar, logic and rhetoric are the three original trivia of higher education? These were the topics of basic education, foundational to the 'quadrivia' of higher education, and hence the material of basic education and an important building block for all undergraduates. The word trivia was also used to describe a place where three roads met in Ancient Rome.
Whether Hubble Trouble, the winning team at the 2012 Colloquium Team Trivia competition knew this is unclear. However they beat off stiff competition in answering challenging questions posed by Quiz Master, Marie Carroll, to take the trophy won last year by Grain Brains. The team was led by Clare Woodley. Other members from the Science Faculty were Yvonne Cheng, Eleni Khoury, Kath Farrell and Paul Weber but the contributions of Peter McCallum and Stephanie McCallum and one so-far-unidentified mystery member were also significant to their victory. In addition to the magnificent trophy, each of the winners received a well-deserved bottle of wine.
Further investigation into the history of the word trivium reveals that it had become forgotten until, in the 1960s, nostalgic college students and others began to informally trade questions and answers about the popular culture of their youth. Since then, the plural, trivia, in particular has widened to include knowledge that is nice to have but not essential, specifically detailed knowledge on topics of popular culture. The expression has also come to suggest information of the kind useful almost exclusively for answering quiz questions.
One of the most testing questions of the evening was the origin of the trophy, a special piece of University of Sydney history. If you were not there to find out what it was, you will have to find someone to ask, or wait and enter a team to compete for it next year.
Acknowledgements to Wikipaedia for the trivia(l) information.
Many thanks to Marie Carroll and Jennifer Ungaro for gathering the questions.

I am a curvy girl with a big heart. I love to laugh and enjoy my time with family and friends. In my free time I read and watch movies.

"I live by 'Go big or go home.' That's with everything. It's like either commit and go for it or don't do it at all. I apply that to everything. I apply that to relationships, I apply that to like sports, I apply that to everything. That's what I live by. That's how I like it."
"That's one thing about Hollywood. People don't always want what's real. People always want a little more. So for me, it's a compromise. Here you go, that hyper-reality."

Happy Mother's Day
I greet you on this Mother's Day! For most of us, our mothers are a fond memory and if you are or were blessed with a good and Godly mother, I remember and praise the Lord with you.
However, for some, mothers may not hold such a strong tie in the heart. For you, I share your pain and heaviness and pray that the Lord's blessing and smile will lift you up today.
Through the years and seven churches I have served in ministry, I have had a few members say they stay away from church on Mother's Day (or Father's Day, Christmas, or Easter) because the day is too painful for them emotionally. It brings back memories of their loved one(s) and they just don't want to sit in a pew and have to endure that publicly. I truly understand that. My sister has recently shared with me that she, too, has these same feelings.
Given the emotional nature of Mother's Day, we're not simply going to celebrate and praise mothers (though they surely deserve it!) No, greater even than that, we're going to celebrate love today. We're going to delve into Jesus' words to us about love and lift them up and bring them right into our hearts. It is my hope and prayer that in our time together this morning, love itself will find its way into your heart in a warm way and that love itself brings blessing and encouragement and hope to you in a fresh and new way today.
Now, having said that, let me leave you with something "somebody" said about mothers.
Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby. Somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "Normal," is history.
Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct. Somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.
Somebody said being a mother is boring. Somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.
Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother. Somebody never helped a fourth grader with her math.
Somebody said you can't love the fifth child as much as you love the first. Somebody doesn't have five children.
Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery. Somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten or on a plane headed for military boot camp.
Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her. Somebody isn't a mother.
Thank you, Mom, for everything. I miss you. I can see you in heaven close to the gate waiting for me with your arms open. One day I'll be there. Before you know it, I'll be there.
God bless you all today. Your Pastor and Friend, Mark

Another 2014 GC rattle solved!!
So, my friend has a 2014 GC limited 4X4 with less than 2K miles, and they've been noticing a rattle, which seemed to emanate from the center of the dash.
I got under the vehicle and started tapping around, and I found the forward most skid plate bolt to be very loose. Interestingly enough, the noise was very loud going very slowly down the road, say < 5 MPH, and would disappear when turning right.
Here is a pic.
Here is a vid.
Re: Another 2014 GC rattle solved!!
Does that apply to all GC's or just the ones with the extra off road skid plates?
Probably should use some loc-tite or it may just loosen again.
Re: Another 2014 GC rattle solved!!
Good idea on the loc-tite.

The $2.5 million, 10,000 gross-square-foot facility designed by Ann Arbor Architects Collaborative will be funded by athletic resources and gifts.

Oldham County's largest event will fill downtown La Grange this weekend with music, vendors, food and a parade.
It is the 42nd annual Oldham County Day, presented by the Project Guild of La Grange.
This year's parade — a keystone of the event — will honor the late Buddy Head, a life-long Oldham County resident and community supporter.
Tomorrow is just a day away — and it'll be a big day for youth in St. Francis Goshen's intensive theater camp.
About 20 youth in fifth through eighth grades will produce and perform "Annie" during two public shows Friday and Saturday.
They will also perform scenes from the show during Oldham County Day.
The camp is part of St. Francis Goshen's summer offerings, which include 10 other youth camps and six camps for preschoolers.
The "Annie" camp split into two groups, cast and crew.
