I recently stumbled upon an article on Wikipedia about my community "Thulluva Vellalar" which is acknowledged in my community certificate. But, there are three main divisions under the Vellalar community namely Gounder, Mudaliar and Pillai and their sub classifications are as follows [as sourced from Wikipedia]
Vellalar Sub castes under Gounder :
- Kongu Vellalar
- Thondaimandala Saiva Vellalar
- Thulluva Vellalar
- Aarunattu Vellalar
- Chozhia Vellar
- Karkarthar
- Thirunelveli Saiva Pillai
- Nanjil Vellalar
- Saiva Velallar
May be the government agency's negligence have caused all this trouble (or) is the Wikipedia wrong ?
I also take this opportunity to convey my highest affection and infinite love to the two greatest men I will always miss; my grandfathers Arumugam Pillai, Dindigul and Natrajar Pillai, Coimbatore ( Ever Bright mills)

Here's what's gonna happen. I am putting on my hero Diane Sawyer's hat (but not her heels…or her skirt because I couldn't fit into it) and interviewing six authors over the course of 2+ weeks.

Established Author Dishes on Best Bargin in Town for Women's 'Spiritual' Apparel in New Book!

Los Angeles, CA. July 2, 2010- In a new book published by New Hope Publishers, entitled Power Suit: The Armor Fit for the Feminine Frame, author Sharon Norris Elliott, provides an insider's perspective on how a woman's spiritual armor is tailor-made to fit her life. Sharon provides life-changing insight, precise interpretations, and colorful examples from the lives of women who have suffered major defeats in spiritual warfare and then points the reader in the right direction.
The book also describes how dressing properly can release several benefits for women within the Body of Christ. The author provides "Step Asides" in each chapter, which are thought provoking questions that challenge and allow the reader to go deeper. Power Suit: The Armor of God Fit for the Feminine Frame is the perfect book for women seeking further insight into spiritual warfare and how they can be better equipped for it.
Of Power Suit: The Armor of God Fit for the Feminine Frame, the author writes "This book seeks to bring the battle out into the open. Contrary to popular belief, what you don't know can most definitely hurt you. These pages hope to bring to light the everyday-ness of the battles being fought in the spiritual realm. The big problems exist: serious illnesses, depression, oppression, death, etc., but the little foxes spoil the vine (SOS 2:15, II Peter 2:1-3). We spend so much time worrying about and preparing for the big bombs to be dropped that we ignore the fact that we're walking through mine fields. We are losing battles in our Christian lives daily and it's our own fault. We're being trained, but we're not properly outfitted." Due to popular demand, this book is available for pre-order beginning on July 1, 2010.

I guess I shouldn't take my NAPA store for Granted.They have a rack of pull out drawers with springs,cotter pins,o-rings and castle nuts.They have a large selection of grade 8 bolts and self locking nuts too.I spend allot of time with those guys
well i went down to work today, i was going to stop by napa today to pick up my castle nuts but guess what..... napa is close on sundays! so i just went down to the shop and farted around for a little bit. i got some snap shots with the front end all assemebled. Picture 3 and 4 are the spacers that i had to get cut for the lower controle arm. one was cut just a little to big so i wasnt able to get a washer in along with the spacer.
Thats looking real good Streamline. Love to see pics of what others are doing.
Streamline Nice job Very clean welds too.Dave and Gator My new parking brake cable arrived.The reproduction cable look good but it is a bit different than the stock cable.There is no bracket to bolt down at the top.I dont think it needs one as the base is secured so the housing is stationary and you would not need to sucure the other end too.If this works I can remove the bracket in the cab and it will be an even cleaner conversion than useing the original factory design cable some times I just get lucky
Looking good Mike. I'm going to tackle the front end on the 53 next year. Nice watching you do it.
DD... did you say the cable was from Brothers and was for a 67. I still have to put in my order to Brothers. They are having a big sale this month. Going to install the solid door window glass. They have it marked down from 389 to 199. Can't rebuild the windows stock for that.
I painted my dash today. The body work looked great but I got a little carried away with the paint around the gauge cluster hole and ended up with a run. I'm going to sand it down tomorrow and add a coat of clear to it. Urethane seems to take a few minutes to lay down. Hard to tell if you are wetting it out enough. I probably should have thinned it a little more. The good news is that the color matches really well.

I haven't read ever response on this thread, but have you guys checked out
Alot of good, useful info on there.

Wilbur I just took a look at stovebolt.Looks like allot of good stuff.Dave the dash looks even better painted.The cable I have came from Classic parts.Part # 71-751 66-70 PARKING BRAKE CABLE-FRONT $34.95.I don't think you will be able to go out the shift lever hole with the cable.I went out the stock hole and am using part #42-105 MAIN HARNESS FIREWALL GROMMET $1.99 a smaller grommet would force the cable to come out at the wrong angle.
Dave you wont have to go through the stainless.Were the floor changes angles about 3 inches to the left of were the shift linkage goes through would look good and work fine with this set up.You would just need to line it up with were it hooks to the brake handle.If you look at the last picture on page 33 post 483 you can see all you would have to do is make a hole just a little farther down.Try the shift lever hole first the cable is flexible and the way it hooks to the handle works to your advantage.It may work the way you want it.Just make the bracket a little longer and move the pulley to the front a little.

I'm going to go ahead and get the cable and just figure a way to make it work. I'm sure between us all we can figure it out.
I know you all are probably tired of seeing my dash but I finally have it completely finished. I ended up sanding out the runs with 1200 and applying a nice coat of clear. Dash is a hard thing to paint. Tough to get in the right angle with the gun. Now its buffed and polished and ready to put back together. I love the new paints. In the old days, when I was young, we had lacquer and enamel and acrylic enamel. That was it. Imron had just come out. Makes me feel old. These new paint systems are great to work with and easy to fix mistakes. Anyway... here are a couple more pics of the dash. Gonna run brake lines next week, mock up the gas tank. Next comes the wiring harness and then..... I get to put the motor back in.

I want to start by thanking DD for starting this thread. Tons of great info here.
Dave I never get tired of seeing pics of nice work. Helps to keep me motivated on my truck.
Finally got the cab brace back in and my firewall welded in place. Found some more rust I'm going to have to fix...Oh well.
Need to get the sheet for the floor cut and welded in also.
Dave keep posting the pic....like Kim said it keeps us motivated. Beside we can sit and look at nice dash pics all day!
Kim nice firewall there. Are you going to leave it blank or mount stuff on it?
By the way I will be down in San Diego area this weekend. My daughter will be in a volleyball tournament so I'll be there.
Kim...... you'll really enjoy those pictures when you get it done. Two things I want to mention to you at your stage of restore. One.... I love my sandblaster. They are inexpensive and talk about cleaning up a part. I used mine on the steering arms, spindles etc. and it made them look like new. Threw some epoxy primer on them and painted away. The inside of my glove box and hardware had felt glued on top of rust so you can imagine what it looked like. Sandblasted it, coated it in urethane high build primer and sanded it and it turned out great. Beat $80.00 for new metal. The other thing is anything I stripped or sanded down to metal or got to a point that I was going to do body work and primer, the first thing I did was put a coat of epoxy primer on it. The epoxy bonds better than the paint to the metal, and it creates a barrier between paint that hasn't been taken off and your new paint. The new paint sticks to the epoxy better than it will metal or old paint. You can even put the bondo right on the epoxy. Everything sticks better to the epoxy. I even thinned the epoxy down further and used it as a sealer before the paint coat. Let if flash dry to the touch and put the paint right on over it. Did a really nice job and helps show up those places you still need to work on. The urethane high build primer is the dog man... that stuff is great. Put three heavy coats on... dry overnight.... then block everything out. Any irregularities .... put on another couple of coats and block it out. If you take your time you can put a finish on that looks like glass.... you may already have worked with all this stuff... but I had a ball relearning with the products available now.
Dave dash looks great.Sounds like I need a sandblaster and a paint gun Kim nice metal work. Well guys I finally got that parking brake done.The new cable does not come with the hold down clamp.Looks like you guys will have another part to track down.I had a problem with the top of the cable twisting when I pulled hard on the parking brake.I designed and made a new bracket for the top of the cable to bolt to.I started with an L shaped bracket and bent it to line up with the cable.I made a second bracket to keep the cable from twisting then welded the 2 pieces together to make a single bracket.
This is the finished connecting rod for the other end of the cable.One last picture of the fire wall with the grommet and cable installed.

Well, I guess, it is more like they fell in love with him.Holy crap, 90.43 for Daisuke!!! Judges obviously throwing themselves at his feet.
Oh, Nadine, Nadine. I completely agree with you. " He radiates sexuality." Yes, exactly. and I also remember your mention of Elvis too.
Well done. You have such an excellent way of words.
BTW, just to let you know, that Dai has already received "red G string" from a fan according to him
Anyway, I guess ballet lesson is definitely paying off. His posture has much improved and he looked like a black swan during the donut's spin with arm up.
I just can not believe that the man can skate this beautifully and still maintain manness.I am so excited with this performance that my hear is still skipping the beat.

I had a BA 7 months ago. 350 CC silicon unders, deflated b cup prior. I had a peri areola pexy on the right side. My nipple still looks huge in comparison to the other. Will it ever look normal? I hate the way it looks, the photo makes it look even worse.
Doctor Answers 6
Nipple symmetry can be achieved with a minor procedure
Revision of your larger areola, and a closure with a permanent suture (such as GoreTex suture) is the best way to prevent this from happening again.
Web reference: http://www.torontosurgery.ca/Toronto-Breast-Augmentation-Enlargement.html
Periareolar lift issues
You will need more surgery to make the areolar diameters more even. Both are large so in order to have the same scar, you could slightly decrease one and do more to the other. A permanent suture should be used to control the size of the circle.
The nipple is normal looking, just a bit larger.
Dear Mama 2010 - It's hard to say but most likely no, it will not get smaller. You may need a nipple reduction on that side.
You might also like...
Will my Nipple Ever Look Normal Again?
It certainly can look normal again, but that will require surgery to reduce it. I will speculate that no permanent purse string suture was used. That is not always necessary, but assuming that this has stretched out since perhaps being the right size at the time of surgery (a guess), using a Gore-tex suture to maintain the size would be a good idea next time.
All the best.
Dilated areola can be fixed
The areola on the right has essentially dilated, or stretched back out, and it can be corrected very easily with a minor procedure under local anesthesia. I would use a permanent "blocking" suture made out of something like Gore Tex) to retain the shape/size of the areola and prevent recurrence. Good luck

Lea Michele Hits FOX's All-Star Party In Extra-Bright Yellow Ensemble (PHOTO)
Warning: you may want to don a pair of shades to see what Lea Michele is wearing below.
The 26-year-old 'Glee' Star hit FOX's annual All-Star Party Tuesday, fresh from her Hawaii vacation, in an ultra-sunny yellow skirt and jacket by Lisa Ho and a low-cut white top. The actress gets points for her classic Louboutins, but the hyper-vibrant colour, matchy-matchy style and girlish cut make this number a bit too sweet.
We're fans of Lea's often daring style (and her amazing beach body), but this outfit makes her look a little too much like her 'Glee' character Rachel before her makeover.
Do you love this look? Or is it a tad over-the-top? Tell us in the comments below.

MOTOism: Move Over Shio Koji, Here Comes Shio Yogurt
Trends in Japan changes as often as Taylor Swift changes boyfriends. It's like, wasn't she dating the Kennedy kid and even bought a house across from his in order to be close to him? Next minute, she is shacking up with one of the bad boys from One Direction. And she publicly stated, "I don't understand relationships." I am sorry, this is a food blog, but once I start my Taylor Swift bitching, I can't stop. She is a slut with big teeth and an ugly face and sings stupid songs about broken hearts, etc., etc…
Let me get back to the story here. Like Taylor, Japan's trends change very often. Every year, there's a sweets that sweeps the country. One year, it's the Belgian waffle, the next year it's donuts, the next it's tiramisu. No wonder their Prime Ministers change so often. Is Japan filled with ADHD or something? Or are we all so unsatisfied with one thing and need to find something better, and when you think you find better, you need something better-er? I call it the Taylor Swift Syndrome. There must be something better!!! Shit, I need to stop bitching about Taylor.
It's only been a few months since I wrote about shio koji (salt koji) — it was super popular since it tenderize meats so amazingly that any cheap cut becomes a luxurious meal. I've used salt koji for a variety of items and the other day, I was looking at some trend-watching website, and they were talking about shio yogurt (salt yogurt) as the next big thing. WTF! According to these websites, salt yogurt is a lot more economical compared to salt koji, and adding salt to yogurt as a food marinade has been used in Middle Eastern cooking for a long time anyways.
Apparently, salted yogurt has the same or even better function than salt koji as a tenderizer. On top of that, salt koji tends to leave the distinct koji flavor, which becomes distinct once the food gets cold, but it doesn't come out in the salt yogurt. Plus, I don't need to ask friends in Japan to send me koji — the yogurt selection here is far better anyways. Furthermore, you don't have to wait for 10 days to mature like salt koji. It's ready as soon as you mix yogurt with salt. How brilliant!
You just mix yogurt with salt (some say 100 gram of yogurt with 1tsp, others say 1/4 tsp, so I used something in between). The yogurt turned out mildy salty, kind of gross. I used fat-free green yogurt. It's the lactic acid in yogurt that activates better with salt which tenderizes meat, not the fat in yogurt, so fat-free is perfect.
And marinate your meat. I used skin on chicken breast. If you want to test the tenderizing effect, using chicken breast is the best way since we all know how dry they get.
I marinated them for half a day. Since I was making teriyaki chicken, I wiped off the yogurt with a paper towel. I was concerned that the teriyaki flavor mixed with the yogurt may be a bit weird.
Then I pan fried them. By the way, my teriyaki sauce is equal parts sake, soy sauce, mirin and honey.
Of course I realized I forgot to take pictures when we were almost done eating… It was definitely moist and tender, plus no yogurt (sour) flavor either. The interesting part about salt yogurt is you can use any "salt". You can use soy sauce, you can use miso, you can use fish sauce — just as long as it contains lots of salt, it will activate the lactic acid.
Try this. Especially if you cook chicken breast, this is the way to go.

NETGEAR GS110T Conclusion
Although the rating and final score mentioned in this conclusion are made to be as objective as possible, please be advised that every author perceives these factors differently at various points in time. As Albert Einstein said, "Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted." While we each do our best to ensure that all aspects of the product are considered, there are times that unforeseen market conditions and manufacturer changes occur after publication, that could render our rating obsolete. Please do not base any purchase solely on our conclusions, as they represent our product rating for the sample received which may also differ from retail versions.
The performance of the NETGEAR ProSafe GS110T SmartSwitch was every bit as good as it needed to be, to meet industry standards. Sorry, no amount of overclocking, overvolting or anything else is going to make it exceed 1000 Mbps. In fact, it didn't quite make 1000; it only pulled 868 Mbps in the TCP/IP testing. The two routers I tested got a little better performance out of the two test systems, both averaging about 940 Mbps. As I've experienced in NAS testing, GbE can be a real performance restraint when you've got more than 4 HDDs in RAID, which are each capable of 125MB/s transfer rates. Until costs for 10GbE network gear come down though, we're stuck with single GbE. UDP performance was worse for all of the devices I tested, The two switches both fared worse than the two routers, and the GS110T had its performance cut in half. I'm inclined to chalk that up to a configuration setting that I didn't get right, as the unmanaged switch did much better.
The appearance of the NETGEAR GS110T is clearly aimed at the business consumer. This is not a product that you're going to see on the shelves of your local big box store. The plain cardboard box it comes in, also underscores that aspect of its market positioning. Just because the outsides aren't trendy or flashy doesn't mean that it doesn't look good, though. I happen to like understated design themes, so I warmed up to the GS110T right away. The appearance is still modern, even if it isn't a white, rounded rectangle.
The construction of the GS110T SmartSwitch was top notch. The enclosure was quite sturdy and well fitted together. All the mating parts lined up perfectly and when it was time to reassemble the unit after the teardown, and it went back together very easily. There were no sharp edges to worry about and the surface finish on all the parts was impeccable. The PCB was manufactured to a very high standard, one of the best I've seen in a while. These switches are designed to last a long time and operate in tough environments, and high build quality is a prerequisite for reliability.
Functionality is where the GS110T really shines. Smart switches in general have more features than their unmanaged siblings, but there is no hard and fast rule for what functionality must be included in order to qualify as a smart switch. The Smart Control Center software that handles all the management functions for the ProSafe series of switches is very comprehensive and relatively easy to use. The security features alone make it worth the price of admission, to me. Don't take my word for it, go back and read the middle sections of this review and see for yourself.
The NETGEAR ProSafe GS110T SmartSwitch is available for $119.99 from both NewEgg and Amazon. Considering all the features you get, compared to an unmanaged switch, and the better build quality for the ProSafe product line, I think these smart switches offer reasonable value for money. For those who only need the 3-4 ports on the back of a typical home router, the price probably seems high, but those who can use the special functions that are only available on a smart switch will see it as a good value and a necessary purchase.
The new class of Smart Switches aren't for everyone, but for those that have a need for their expanded feature set, they're a real game changer. Their cost is way below business class switches, and they have just the right amount of tools and controls to make the difference between a secure network and one that's vulnerable from within. There are several models in the ProSafe product line that are similar to the GS110T, and have either fewer or more ports. They are close enough in design that a large portion of this review is applicable to them, as well. The models that have Power-Over-Ethernet (POE) are different enough on the hardware side that I can't really speak about them at this time. The software features I described should all be there, along with some additional tools for the power distribution functions.
+ Excellent build quality
+ Comprehensive software controls
+ Flexible security features
+ Good throughput on TCP/IP traffic
+ Very little heat output
+ Expected long-term reliability
+ Software ease-of-use
+ Fiber optic ports, if you need them
+ Easy setup with appropriate defaults
+ Excellent documentation
+ Large product line with many choices
+ Strong user community support
– UDP performance lags way behind TCP/IP
– Price may be an issue for home users
– Didn't beat my unmanaged switch on performance
- Performance: 8.75
- Appearance: 9.00
- Construction: 9.50
- Functionality: 9.50
- Value: 9.00
Final Score: 9.15 out of 10.

No renuion for Abba
Page Tools
Swedish pop legends Abba will not be getting out their spangly jumpsuits again because a reunion would only disappoint their fans, former Abba singer Bjorn Ulvaeus was quoted as saying today.
"I can understand that people are longing for Abba, but deep in my heart I know that they would be deeply disappointed if they saw us back up on the stage again today," Ulvaeus, 59, told Germany's Bunte magazine.
"Just look at our videos," he added. "That energy, that drive, that enthusiasm. You just wouldn't see that anymore if the four of us got on stage today. It's just not there."
Abba was one of the most successful 1970s European pop groups. They won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo and subsequent hits included Fernando, Dancing Queen, and The Winner Takes it All.
The group split up in 1981. Four years ago they turned down an offer of $US1 billion ($A1.32 billion) to re-form.
The two couples who made up pop's most famous acronym -- Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid -- have long since divorced.

Journal, Day Five
Here's my least favorite component of the publishing process: blurbs.
AGAINST BLURBS: Poetry books are rarely sold in bookstores, so virtually nobody actually picks up a book, reads the blurbs, thinks, "Hmm! My favorite writer is enthusiastic about this book! I think I'll purchase it with my hard-earned money!" and carries it off to the register.
ON THE OTHER HAND: Poetry buyers for bookstores want to see them in the catalog. Distributors like them. People shopping on line like them. [Lazy] reviewers like knowing how to categorize a book before they even read it by seeing who's blurbed it.
AGAINST BLURBS: Nobody really likes writing them. Most published poets will tell me, "I never write blurbs, because if I wrote them for one person, I'd have to write them for everybody."
ON THE OTHER HAND: Those published poets have plenty of blurbs on their own books. Poets, especially when publishing their first book, need an "introduction" to the market, and published poets could easily support the community by providing it. Is it a lack of generosity, a belief that although they have benefited from community support, they needn't continue the tradition? Is it sloth? Is it not having the spine to tell a writer one doesn't like that you can't fully support the work in the book? Yes, yes, yes. Sorry, yes. If you're teaching poetry and one of your students publishes a book, who else is going to read it and endorse it?
AGAINST BLURBS: Because they hate writing them, some writers use canned language. "Best writer of her generation," etc. "Luminous." Or, my favorite new cliché, "Important." "The only important book of poetry this [year, decade, century]." Baloney. Say something.
ON THE OTHER HAND: Enthusiasm from a poet who cares about language makes the search for a blurb worthwhile.
BLURB PEEVE #1: A writer promises to write a blurb, and turns in something so generic it might apply to anything. In the past year, I've received two or three blurbs from well-known poets that fail to mention the author of the poems, the book's title, or any detail about the poems in the book. "Sometimes one comes across a book that's so luminous, so important, that one sighs to read the future books this promising young author will create." (Oh, yeah? Was this one of them?) Can't use it.
BLURB PEEVE #2: A writer writes a blurb that is much more about the writer of the blurb than about the author of the book. "I, a well-known poet, have many opinions, and this book has managed to garner my momentary attention." (This often works in conjunction with Blurb Peeve #1.) Worse: "I, not yet well known (but on my way, by God), am elevating my stature by passing faint praise upon this poor, lesser writer who may someday improve."
"BLURB WHORES": I've heard this term applied to poets who often write blurbs for books. Frankly, I don't think there's a poet in the universe who goes about looking for books to blurb—doing a good job of it is simply too difficult, it's unremunerative (not usually a goal of whoring), and though the publisher & author are grateful, the job is otherwise thankless. When I see someone's name endorsing a book of poetry, I know that poet is extending herself or himself to help another writer to an audience. This is a rare thing, my friends.
THE COMPLAINT THAT THE BLURBIST IS A FRIEND OR TEACHER OF THE POET: The situation is such that virtually nobody will write a blurb for someone they have no previous connection with. They prefer to champion people they've seen develop. When Ahsahta published David Mutschlecner's Esse in 2002, I was at a loss to find someone to write an endorsement; Esse was David's first book published in the U.S., and he hadn't been studying poetry writing anywhere. I sent it to Cole Swensen because of its themes, thinking she might respond to it, and she generously read it and wrote a wonderful endorsement. With Ed Allen's 67 Mixed Messages, I sent the book to Sam Gwynn, whose comic formal poems seemed in synch with Ed's sonnet sequence. I greatly appreciated his enthusiasm and generosity.
That's where I'd like to end this week: with a call for more enthusiasm and generosity.

**blows dust off this blog**
Hello again! It's been a quiet year here at PSB Delegation! Well, quiet on the website, we've been busy elsewhere this past year!
In reading a blog of someone I admire, I'm reminded of a tradition of "Ending as you mean to go on"... So I'm ending 2013, with a post to let you know, we're still here. We still love to fix and help, and teach and mentor all things procurement, supply chain, contract-related. We just didn't work on the blog/website/twitter/facebook side of things in 2013. I'm looking forward to reconnecting in whatever form makes sense in 2014...
So, enjoy yourselves this New Year's Eve, enjoy the New Year and we'll catch up later ;)

Development of benefits screening software for service agencies
The purpose of this project is to adapt the Benefits Outreach and Screening Software (BOSS), originally designed to determine benefits eligibility for the elderly, for determination of benefits eligibility for physically and developmentally disabled children and adults, at-risk mothers and infants, people with AIDS, and general populations seen in hospital ER and outpatient departments. To accomplish this the investigators will: (1) undertake the research and development necessary to identify the relevant entitlements and rules governing them for each group; (2) determine design features needed by various user organizations (e.g., hospitals health clinics, social service agencies, religious organizations, and community agencies such as independent living centers); 3) develop the necessary system design and computer programming accordingly; and (4) identify and work with up to eight agencies that could serve as pilots for implementing the programs designed.

A 19-year-old man killed a kitten by throwing an empty beer bottle at it because he "didn't like cats".
Selu Bond Moala was sentenced to 150 hours' community work when he appeared in the Manukau District Court yesterday after being convicted of wilfully ill-treating an animal.
His lawyer, Mary-Anne Lowe, said Moala did not know how injured the kitten was after hitting it with the bottle.
She said Moala had pleaded guilty early, was still at school and could be eligible for a discharge without conviction in other circumstances.
But Judge Charles Blackie said he would not consider a discharge without conviction.
"I think a discharge without conviction would cause public outrage," he said.
Judge Blackie said Moala had been drinking with a friend when he had thrown the beer bottle at the kitten.
Judge Blackie said Moala was asked by police why he had thrown the bottle. "You said you didn't like cats. I don't think people like you at this point in time."
The judge also read from a victim impact statement from a woman who had to explain the death of the kitten to her children. The kitten did not belong to the woman but came to her house and she would feed it.
"Her children were very sad that the kitten was killed. One child tried to wake the kitten up but it was clearly dead."
Judge Blackie said people like Moala were sent to prison.
"I can tell you there is very little sympathy for people like you who mistreat animals."
Ms Lowe said outside court the case was "very sad".
"The best thing he could do is acknowledge it, and he does."
She said she hoped Moala might be able to work with animals as part of his community service.
At his home in Otara, Moala said he didn't mean to hit the cat and he was sorry for what he had done.
His mother, Noleni Moala, said she had been to see the cat's owner to apologise on behalf of her son.
The executive director of the SPCA's Auckland branch, Bob Kerridge, said he thought some time in the "cooler" would have been appropriate.
Mr Kerridge said 150 hours' community work was a light sentence.
"Obviously it was a deliberate act and it certainly deserves more if we are to send the message that such acts are unacceptable."

Yesterday, Deputy Secretary of Education Dr. Eugene Hickok answered questions from around the country on the White Houses interactive online forum, "Ask the White House." The following are excerpts from the discussion:
Val, from Petaluma [California] writes: Could you please explain the country's need for math and science teachers projected for the next 5 to 10 years ?
Dr. Eugene Hickok: There is no doubt about the fact that this nation will need more teachers in math and science in the coming five to ten years. We are a knowledge-driven economy; we are quickly becoming a technology driven economy; we are an international economic competitor; and the jobs of the future will require skills and a knowledge base that we are only now beginning to understand. It is essential that more of our young people enter the workforce with advanced skills in math and science. That is only possible of course if they take math and science courses in K-12 and postsecondary that give them those skills. And of course, those courses are only available if we have enough highly qualified math and science teachers. It is difficult to overstate how important this is to the national economy, to our nation's security and potentially to the fulfillment of young people's highest expectations for the future.
Mark, from Omaha, Nebraska writes: Why does one state get more federal aid for schools than other states? I understand the idea of population, but more is spent per child in one state than another. Why is that?
Dr. Eugene Hickok: Most federal taxpayer money going to states for public education [is] distributed based upon complex formulas that are defined in statutes. Most of it is targeted at low-income, high-risk populations [taking] into consideration [census] data, welfare data and other indicators of wealth and population. The purpose of the statute is to make sure that dollars go where the need is greatest. And that formula is updated every year.
Carter, from Michigan writes: What has the No Child Left Behind program done for education?
Dr. Eugene Hickok: That is the right question to ask. The No Child Left Behind Act emphasizes four important principles: Accountability, Flexibility, Empowering parents, [and] Evidenced based research. All four are necessary to improve American education. The first two are all about making sure we know about how our schools are doing - and eradicating the achievement gap. The [third] principle is making sure that students and parents have options when schools aren't successful. As we implement the law, flexibility is important so that state and local decision makers can exercise local discretion. And evidenced based decision making is important to making sure that public policy is sound. This law which has been in place since Jan 2002 is already making a big difference across the country.

Dublin locals share their perfect day in their home city
Insider tips and local knowledge are brilliant for uncovering those unusual haunts and hard-to-find places.
We asked three in-the-know characters who live in Dublin how they would spend a perfect day in the city. Choose to follow in the footsteps of a boutique owner, chef or journalist.
First up is Ruth Ní Loinsigh, owner of Dublin boutiques Om Diva and Atelier 27 on Drury Street.
"My favourite day in Dublin is a Sunday. My two daughters (aged five and seven) and I get up early on the last Sunday of the month and have breakfast with friends at the Dublin Flea Market. Our kids love the muffins and homemade juices, while I usually go for the 'special eggs'. Afterwards we all peruse the stalls, which sell everything from collectable crockery to Barbie dolls from the 70s!
Think a friend might enjoy this article? Click to save and share
"After the market it's a short stroll to Francis Street, Dublin's 'Antique Quarter' where we window shop and dream. As we come up the hill to Christ Church, you can smell the malt in the air coming from the Guinness Brewery – it reminds me of Saturdays spent on Meath Street as a child with my own mother. If you're lucky you might catch the bells of Christ Church Cathedral ringing out in all their glory!
"We usually stop for the Sunday papers at the little newsstand in Fallon and Byrne, Dublin's own gourmet food hall, and then head for St Stephen's Green, a central park with a brilliant kids' playground. We grab a coffee on the way from Lemon Creperie (the best latte in Dublin) and I read the Sunday magazines while the kids play on the swings and slides.
"We love to stroll down Grafton Street afterwards where the street performers keep every generation entertained; you will find anything from the U2 of the future, to exotic limbo dancers and giant bubble blowers! We might treat ourselves to lunch in Bewley's Café, with a glass of chilled wine for the grown ups and ice cream for the kids. Sunday in Dublin is hard to beat!"
Curious what the perfect day in Dublin for a chef or journalist is?

Crow Wing County assesses flood damage
Water has receded but for families with flooded basements in Crow Wing County, the cleanup remains.
And there may be additional help for that.
John Bowen, county emergency management director, said preliminary assessments were made of 24 homes and 20 sustained significant damage, mainly related to basement flooding. The county reported a half a million dollars in road repair because of flooding.
During the heavy rainstorm in June, Crow Wing County crews were out repairing a washed out road and in between bringing rocks in to fill a breach found a car stranded there. The passengers had gotten out of the vehicle but were near the rushing water and one fell in and couldn't get out.
County Administrator Tim Houle said staff got in the water and rescued the individual, not once but twice. Without that assistance, Houle said a drowning was likely.
"I'm pretty proud of them and wanted you to know," Houle said.
Bowen said the Black Bear and Miller Lake areas — where residents sandbagged to protect homes — is now nearing normal levels. The Mississippi River level dropped significantly, which helps as the lakes feed water into the river.
"So that's a really good sign," Bowen said.
In other areas of the state, the flood damage was readily apparent. In Crow Wing County, homeowners may have had significant damage but it's largely hidden behind house walls.
The county is trying to do more outreach so people who had flood damage may be eligible for financial assistance. The county's assessors, with its property valuation and classification department, are assessing damages.
Bowen said the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is only looking at homesteaded property not seasonal for individual assistance programs. More information on individual assistance is expected next week.
Bowen said as of Tuesday morning, 34 applications for FEMA assistance were received from townships and cooperatives. The county is also reaching out to more townships to see if there are additional damages not yet reported.
Bowen said FEMA is sending eight representatives to assess damages.
One of the county's cost drivers will come from efforts to protect the Black Bear Miller Lakes Levee near Trommald. Multiple pumps were running 24 hours a day to keep the lake levels from rising and flooding homes. Bowen said the cost, for pump rental and diesel fuel is about $55,000 and doesn't account for staff time, which may add another $15,000 to $20,000.
It's unclear if costs to pump water from the heavy May rainfall will be included, although counties, including the heavily storm damaged Cass County, are making that argument.
Brainerd received 8.92 inches of rain in May.
Bowen said not everything will be reimbursed, but having the disaster declaration and assistance will help.
Rob Hall, interim county highway engineer, said 100 sites sustained damage. The county isn't chasing reimbursement for every washout it would have done maintenance on anyway, but is looking for help with larger losses, Hall said.
The Mississippi River has receded below flood stage at Aitkin, Brainerd and Fort Ripley.
In Brainerd, the river was at 9.73 feet as of Tuesday afternoon. Flood stage is 13 feet. In Aitkin, which sustained more of the flood damage in the region, the river was at 10.38 feet Tuesday below the minor flood stage of 12 feet.
Heavy rain, up to 3 inches, was in the forecast for Aitkin, Cass and Crow Wing counties Tuesday night with the National Weather Service in Duluth warning there could be ponding and flooding of small streams if the downpour arrives as expected with a line of storms, some of which could be severe.

Getting an array length in C# is a trivial task. All we need to so is call the Length property of the Array Class:
int[] arr = new int[17]; int arrLength = arr.Length;
Getting an array length in C++ might be less trivial:
int arr[17]; int arrSize = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(int);
Notice that sizeof(arr) returns the array size in bytes, not its length, so we must remember to divide its result with the size of the array item type (sizeof(int) in the example above).
I want to show you this nice C++ macro which helps us getting an array length in another and better way:
template<typename T, int size> int GetArrLength(T(&)[size]){return size;}
This is how to use it:
template<typename T, int size> int GetArrLength(T(&)[size]){return size;} void main() { int arr[17]; int arrSize = GetArrLength(arr); }
aarSize will be equal to 17. Enjoy!

Said on January 12, 2009 :
It's interesting to note that shortly after that technique was devised, a somewhat anonomoused version:
int func(T(&)[N]){return N;}
was passed around members of the C++ Standardization Committee, and it usually took quite a while for the recipient to figure out what it did.
Said on January 13, 2009 :
For an array named "arr" just do this:
No need for templates here, no need to specify the item type in the divisor, and it works perfectly in both C++ and C.
Said on January 13, 2009 :
Wow, neat trick, any chance you can explain how it works exactly?
Said on January 14, 2009 :
It's fairly straight forward. The compiler uses parameter resolution to create a version of the function that matches that parameter passed to it, so :
int arr[17];
int arrSize = GetArrLength(arr);
is essentially
int arr[17];
int arrSize = GetArrLength(arr);
which creates this function:
int GetArrLength(int(&)[17]){return 17;}
Said on January 14, 2009 :
The comment editor mangled that:
"that is essentially:
int arr[17];
int arrSize = GetArrLength<int, 17>(arr);
Said on January 27, 2009 :
Bear in mind that things aren't so simple when dealing with dynamically allocated arrays.
Said on February 19, 2009 :
Don't put it in a seperate function, because you will get this:
int array[20];
int GetArrayLength(int array[])
return sizeof array / sizeof array[0];
Because you only pass the first element of the array to the function, so this will always return 1
Said on November 16, 2009 :
First of all i must say that im new to c++.
I wonder how can we determine the size of array in a function when we send the array to that function. (We already know the length of array in a function in which we creat it.)
main() {
int myArray[20];
void someFunction(int anArray[]) {
// How can we determine the size here?

Good article.
There is only one beef I have with it.
void main is not standard. Refrain from using this. Use int main.

u can get easy array size without sizeof only wat u have todo use ur brain..
easiest way write to forum and ask for help or correct ur code coz u to dump to correct it by ur self.. in future will be many programmers who eeven dont undesnatnfd wat they doing…
Said on August 10, 2011 :
Hi All,
If we pass an array to a function , then how to find its lenght ?
int main(){
string arr[4]={"Ravi","Kavi","Kajal","Sonu"};
// Here functiontoDosomeOperation will do some operation and need //to know lenght of arr.
void functiontoDosomeOperation(string arr[])
int lenght = ?
// If we use GetArrLength template funtion then it gives compilation error.
error: no matching function for call to `GetArrLength(std::string*&)'
and if we use sizeof operator then it returns 1 as in function arr is pointer
Said on April 17, 2012 :
simply store the size of the array when you first declare it and pass the size to functions. e.g.
int main()
const int bufferSize = 256;
char buffer[bufferSize];
zero(buffer, bufferSize);
return 0;
zero(const char *buffer, const int size)
for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i)
buffer[i] = 0;

A new jazz band called Inside Straight formed this week and will disband Saturday night after playing only two gigs.
Longtime Steamboat musician Chris Koebnick put the band together with three other musicians from Denver and Boulder for the purpose of playing the Yacht Club deck this weekend.
The four-man band will include Eric Moon on keyboard and Koebnick on bass. The two-man combination is one that has formed and reformed since the beginning of their musical careers in the mid-70s.
Inside Straight will play tonight and Saturday as a jazz-based funk band. Koebnick knows that jazz is not for everyone but believes it is a universal language for musicians.
"I know it's hard to like jazz," he said. "It's musicians' music.
"It's the long solos that bore people, but I'll tell you that during a solo what's happening is you are just hanging on for dear life."
Koebnick has played with Moon since his mid-20s and played those gigs with the same Fender Precision fretless bass he purchased in 1976.
Fender didn't make jazz basses back then so Koebnick had to customize his Precision. He has added to and changed everything on the body of the guitar, but refuses to replace it.
"This is the nicest bass I've ever played," he said. "And I bought it on a dare (from local musician Bill Martin.)"
About the same time as he acquired the Precision, Koebnick was living in Steamboat as a 20-something musician. He wasn't learning much from the local jazz scene, he said. So he searched for a partner who would push his music to the next level.
He'd seen Moon play with a Denver band called Rare Silk. Moon was fresh from the jazz program at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley and already was playing professionally.
"Eric had bebop wired by the time he was 22," Koebnick said.
Koebnick had a 16-week gig through the winter season and invited Moon to join him.
"I thought that I would learn a lot about soloing and theory," Koebnick said, "but I ended up learning about chart reading and rhythm.
"Eric is one of the best rhythm guitar players I know. In the whole season we played together, I think he got lost once. And I think that might have been our fault."
Since playing with Moon, Koebnick has developed the theory that the difference between a mediocre musician and a good musician is rhythm.
"Rhythm is the feel of the music. The soul of the music is in the rhythm," he said.

Hey guys! I would like buy macbook air 2013 for work outside. Does anybody use it for writting tracks? How it copes with the tasks? P.S. 4gb RAM and 1,3 GHz
Well, it depends on what kind of tracks you write I suppose… If you're just doing electronic music or music with audio tracks mostly with not too much processing it will be fine.
But, if you're doing more advanced sessions with 10-20 instances of Kontakt or GuitarRig it will be very slow I'm afraid. You really need a MacBook Pro (high-end) to really enjoy modern music making with lots of tracks without freezing them all the time.
My session is about 10 instances of Kontakt and vst plug-in. So, will be macbook pro (8 ram) good choice? Which CPU to choose?
Well, the best CPU you can afford is the answer. A quad-core i7 will of course be much faster when it comes to CPU intensive stuff.
I have the 15" 2.3Ghz quad-core i7 with 16GB and it can handle a lot. HOWEVER, I have maxed it out on some Logic projects with lots of Kontakt instruments and reverbs going on.
I guess it comes down to that you can always max out your system no matter what you have, but get the best your budget allows for and it might not happen too often. 8GB of RAM is enough most of the time, especially if you update the Kontakt sample pools to get rid of samples you don't use, but 16 is nice of course.

A Loss for Words
Short Story by: Sierra Shapratski
Status: Finished
Genre: Young Adult
A picture says a thousand words, but that has worked against me in the past few days. Ever since that picture of me was published around the world, everyone is clamoring to come and get me. I now wear a bulletproof vest for my own protection. Before I continue, I should explain.
My name is Alana Shapratski and fifteen years ago, my mom smuggled me out of North Korea and gave me to a nice charity worker named Sierra Shapratski who happened to be working along the Chinese border. She became my adoptive mother and renamed me Alana to protect me from any North Korean agents who might want me back. Sierra told me all of this much later in my life of course; I was eighteen when I knew the whole truth. It worked perfectly until some idiot took a picture of my adoptive mother and me at a Korean reunification rally and published it in the Korea Herald. It took about two seconds for someone at the North Korean government to recognize me and get the whole country upset. You see, I'm not just your average defector; I'm Kim-Jong Un's long lost daughter. My mother smuggled me out so I could have a life away from my violent father and the entire North Korean regime. According to Sierra, in order to protect herself from going to a labor camp, my mother made up some story about Americans kidnapping me and holding me hostage. Imagine, American soldiers bothering to kidnap a four year old! My mother, Ri-Sol Ju, must have been a great actress because it worked and ever since then, North Korea has had a yearly festival to celebrate "the lost princess". So you can imagine the uproar that ensued after the publication of my photo and the discovery that I was alive and well in Seoul all this time. Now North Korea wants me to come back to my childhood home so I can be groomed for the position of leader of Korea while the South Koreans are saying that since I'm a legal adult, I can decide that for myself. So far, I have decided to stay in Seoul and work for my degree in Anthropology. However, I did agree to go for a weeklong visit to help keep things calm between the two Koreas and avoid a third world war, something that most nineteen year olds rarely ever have to do. My adoptive mother and several South Korean soldiers will be there for my protection; we don't want an "accident" to befall anyone while there. As I'm sitting in the Beijing airport waiting for a charter flight to Pyongyang, Sierra is sitting next to me, picking her fingers nervously. As a supporter of Korean reunification and a loud critic of my father, she feels less than welcome in North Korea. When the plane finally landed, Sierra looked like she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Nevertheless, she walked down the steps holding my hand tightly the whole time. At the bottom of the steps, past the reporters with their cameras and questions, past the bodyguards, and past a very large flag, stood the father I had no memory of and the mother who handed me off at the ripe old age of four. I tried to keep calm as we pushed our way past the media and marched to my parents and the siblings I never met. My father stood there proudly and said
"Welcome home, Kim- Kyung Song."
Of course, I forgot about the name my parents gave me. No one ever called me that over the course of my life. At least, no one I remember anyway. "Please, call me Alana." I was already uncomfortable with being here; I didn't need any more weirdness while I was spending my first, and hopefully last, trip here. My father didn't really respond, he just looked disappointed for a minute and then ushered Sierra and myself into a waiting car that was ready to take us to the house I grew up in. The ride there was beyond awkward. Every few minuets one of my parents would try to defuse the tension by asking questions such as:
"How's school?"
"Who are your friends?"
"What do you want to do when you graduate?"
Of course, since I'm too polite for my own good, I responded with "Great, I'm friendly with a few girls I met at school. Their names are Elizabeth, Holly, and Maya. And I want to be an anthropologist after graduating." I felt like the whole ride was scripted from some messed up sitcom. I kept expecting a laugh track to pop up and some well-dressed gentleman with greasy hair to tell the audience "We'll be right back after these messages." Instead, I got a very silent car ride with two strangers who happen to be my parents. We finally reached the house about a half hour after landing. Sierra went another part of the estate to give my parents and myself some privacy. As soon as I walked into the house my mother started to cry.
"I can't believe you're home. It's so good to see you all grown up." She sobbed
I snorted with laughter and disbelief; I was not going to fall for this act. I knew damn well that she got pictures of me on a regular basis from Sierra and the charity that she worked for. I'm not sure if my father knew about my mom's little plan but I sure as hell did and I was none to happy about this scripted dinner party. So I did a stupid thing, I opened my mouth and proceeded to ask
"Mom, didn't Sierra send you letters from time to time? And Dad, didn't mom describe you as violent? I thought she communicated with you for years after I left North Korea." My mother just looked at her hands for a long time before answering that question.
"Call me Alana."
My mother pursed her lips and sighed before resuming her reply in a tone that implied she was trying very hard to keep herself calm. "Fine, Alana. You're right. I was in contact with Sierra, she knew who I was but kept quiet about it to everyone. As for why, we sent you across the border for politics. Your father was losing support among the people and we had to rally the public. So we sent you to live with Sierra. I lied about the back story, the less people who knew the truth the better."
I just stood there before finally replying, "I don't know how to react. I don't even know what I should be doing here. Even if you hadn't just told me what you did, I would still be at a loss for what to do. Why would you send your first child to live with the nearest stranger?"
Mom started crying, and my father looked pissed.
"Look what you've done!" he screamed "You've caused us enough pain already, we suffered for you for fifteen years. You come back and it's clear that all you want is to be a little material whore back in South Korea and visit Sierra's family in America whenever you want. You don't even want to be our daughter. I was going to teach you how to be a leader. You could have been a queen, but now you're just the village idiot."
Without thinking, I said, "Screw you too. I was fine without you for fifteen years. Based off of this interaction, it seems like you don't need me either."
Needless to say, I was on a plane out of there within hours of arriving. I haven't contacted my parents since then, and they haven't even mentioned me. Both of those things are probably for the best. Looking back on it, nothing good could have come out of meeting them even if I was polite and had kept my mouth shut about my disapproval of their governing tactics. It's been years since that ill-fated trip to North Korea and I've never looked back on it, even to mourn the loss of my mother who took her own life just days after I left that wretched place for good. She sent me a note that I received just days after her suicide. It said, "Sweetie, you have shamed me. I can't live with the humiliation of everyone knowing you are a defector." I guess when she saw my picture in the Korea Herald she thought I would be something entirely different than what I was. She wanted me to be the person she romanticized about during my fifteen-year absence, but the hope of meeting this fantasy she created set her up for the disappointment of the reality. It crushed her fragile spirit and sent her into a suicidal state, causing her to hang herself in her closet soon after I left. Maybe the phrase "every picture says a thousand words" should be changed. Maybe it should say instead, "Every picture says a thousand words that can be interpreted in a thousand different ways".

I just purchased a K1 tablet (yesterday) and have been trying to get it to work all day. I was able to install the update after several tries, and it seemed to partly resolve the main problem I was having: after several minutes the home pages would start switching uncontrollably until I shut it down by holding the power key down. Unfortunately it didn't fix everything. The device experiences phantom input, generating untyped "random" characters when the keyboard is in use, and switches to voice input that I can't turn off. In YouTube, the application switches from video to video on its own. These problems render the device nearly unusable.
Is anyone experiencing this? Is there a fix? I am very close to returning this tablet. I bought it because of price and brand name, but so far my confidence in Lenovo doesn't seem warranted.
From your description is sounds like that the touch screen may have a problem, I suggest you contact your local Lenovo warranty center to have a look at the unit.
You are probably right about the touch screen, but an item I bought new one day ago, that doesn't work out of the box, doesn't go in for service; it goes back to the store. Let them waste their time, I've already wasted enough of mine. I do appreciate your taking the time to respond.
