The Hardest Part
"You didn't expect God to do it all for you, did you? He doesn't hand things out as free gifts; they mean something, and you must work with it as well."
Nathaniel pondered this, then spoke.
"I'm not sure how to fight it though…"
The doctor pulled into a parking space and let the engine purr for a few seconds before turning the ignition off. He turned to Nathaniel.
"What is happiness?"
"Oh, that's…"
He couldn't finish his sentence, and his face became distorted; he shook his head slowly.
"I don't know…"
Ther doctor smiled.
"Yes you do, you just need to think about it, and it'll be easier to think with some food on your stomach." he said, motioning toward the Steak n' Shake.
Nathaniel nodded agreeingly and got out of the car.
As they walked into the Steak n' Shake, Nathaniel noticed a short brunette ordering something at the counter. He stopped where he was and she turned around, pulling a sharp gasp from Nathaniel's lungs.
It's her…
Her eyes met his, and for a split second, Nathaniel froze inside. He couldn't move, and he felt the scattered pain in his heart coalesce in the pit of his chest. A bolt of fear traveled through him at lightning speed. He found himself worrying about her all over again; about the hurtful words she'd said, about the way she'd blown everything off, about the destruction she'd wrought upon his heart. There she stood, her eyes indifferent, but for a split second he thought he saw them flinch in surprise. She approached Nathaniel and the doctor.
"Hey, John.."
As soon as the words escaped her lips, his throat tightened and dried up.
"Hi." he managed in a forced breath.
"It's been a while.. Whatchya been up to?"
Her eyes gazed full into his, and he almost couldn't stand it.
"Nothing much…" and he added in his head: Just cutting myself every night because I've come to hate myself for this pain…
She squinted, studying him, and interupted his thoughts by speaking again.
"What happened to your eyes?"

Skye is an incredibly affectionate kitty who is the longest term member of the Kitties & Pitties foster cat family. It's hard to get noticed when you're a little bit shy! Sure, Skye takes a little while to warm up to a new person. If you give her a chance to get to know you, though, this little lady blossoms into a warm and fuzzy bundle of chirps, headbutts and belly-flops. Skye greets her foster mom at the door and rubs at her ankles, asking for headrubs. She likes chasing her toys and playing with you. Skye would do very well in a quiet home with no children. We know that sweet Skye will find her perfect home soon. She's been waiting two years - what's a little while longer?
If you are interested in meeting our adoptable kitties, please submit an application via our website, kittiesnpitties.org. it can be located under the 'adopt' tab. If you have not received a response from us in 24-48 hours, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you for caring with us!
Kitties & Pitties works closely with local veterinarians to make sure all cats and pit bulls in our program receive vaccinations, spay/neuter, and other necessary medical treatment. The animals are ultimately made available for adoption.
In an effort to reduce the population of feral cats and kittens, Kitties & Pitties also offers Trap, Neuter, and Release (TNR) services. We also provide support to feral colony caregivers by offering outdoor shelters and cat food.
Our kitties are all spayed/neutered, vaccinated for rabies and FVRCP, dewormed, and provided with flea/tick preventative prior to adoption. In addition, they are tested for FIV/FeLV.

Baby on board
Chapter 1 Fights are awsome
Fate, its story is told in so many ways. Love is mainly how fate is used. "It was like fate the way we met." Well you know what I say to that? Bullshit! My life isn't perfect, hell it's not even good. I live my days playing video games, working as a cashier for some shitty convience store, and hoping to die the next day because I don't really have a lot to live for. My grades suck I have like two friends and every girlfriend I ever had was a complete whore. But if my life I stayed that way I wouldn't be telling you this story right? Well I'm going to tell you how one night, one false move, and one dozen god forsaken drinks got me to all of you because not a lot of people think my story are real. But I guess that's up to you to decide.
March 7, 2012
I woke up late for school as always and took my sweet time getting ready, while I was taking my sweet time with breakfast (Which is basically a hot pocket and some orange juice.) I got a text from my friend Danny. The text said "Dude get your ass to school something is happening!" Naturally I responded the way I always respond to Danny's texts, I took even more sweet time but eventually I got to school and this "Big Event" was still going on.
I walked into the school and see Danny and a whole lot of other students in a circle around the quad; I stand next to Danny to find out what's happening. "What happened?" I ask. "Well turns out Cynthia and Kevin got in a fight cause Kevin fucked Cynthia's sister on her bed." I giggled because I really hate Kevin and I like to see him suffer, but the fact he cheated on the love of my life made me more aggravated with him. Let me explain the love of my life. "Cynthia Tilbury" Hottest chick alive! Her body was so perfect, her face resembled somewhat of an angel, and that ass! It's so beautiful you just want to caress it in those jeans she wears oh so perfectly, but I digress.
Anyway I asked her out to this party coming up but she turned me down just like all fifteen other parties I asked her too, but I will never give up until I get some Cynthia in my system.
So me, Danny and about fifty other people are watching Cynthia rip Kevin a new one and at this point I sort of wished I had popcorn because it was an entertaining way to start the morning, however just like most things the school is good a ruining it's good times because the bell rang and our security treated us like we were prison inmates, so everyone scattered on too they're classes, except me and Danny because we like to start our mornings like most inner city kids. And that way is with a big helping of nicotine. So we headed too our spot which was basically behind the school nothing special. On our way I checked my pockets but forgot I left my lighter back home. "Fuck!" I exclaim "What's wrong?" Danny asks "I forgot my lighter at home, you got a spare?" He shakes his head which basically meant we were going to shake all day from the lack of smooth nicotine. "Oh crap! I just remembered I have a spare in my locker." Danny's face lights up "I'll go get it just wait for me at the spot." Danny agrees and we part ways.
I get to my locker and since everyone was in class the halls were empty and silent so I felt it was time to crank up the tunes and blast metal trough my earphones and pretty much play every instrument in air form. So I was jamming with myself I open my locker, grab my lighter and proceed to end it with the best drum solo ever. I closed my eyes and shook my hands like a mad man mimicking the drums through my imagination with my eye's closed but as I finished the drum solo I ended it by hitting the crash one last time so I lifted my hand high and struck the air like there was a drum set. But something was wrong usually I feel so fulfilled but this time something felt wrong. So I opened my eyes and what I saw made my face a whole new shade of red, because when I opened my eyes there was a Asian girl on the floor picking up a hell of a lot of books.

The Codington County Board of Commissioners tied a bow on the county's Extension Complex addition project Tuesday, approving a lease agreement for the new office space with S.D. State University Cooperative Extension.
While the basic terms of the lease were met with general acceptance by the board, one aspect ruffled some county Extension staff feathers and caused one commissioner to vote against the package.
Basic terms of the lease call for SDSU to pay the county $5,400 per month, or $64,800 per year to lease the new office space now housing Extension field specialists in a regional service office.
Commission Chairman Elmer Brinkman negotiated the lease terms and gave the other commissioners a breakdown of how the cost was arrived at.
"The cost of construction was roughly $601,000," Brinkman said. "That was amortized over 20 years at 4 percent interest.
"We then included $600 per month for janitorial services and estimated $600 per month for utilities, which will be adjusted (one way or the other) at the end of the year."
In the Extension complex itself, there are three classrooms that were built a number of years ago and have hosted numerous educational programs and events, both through Extension and other organizations on a rental basis. Classroom A, the largest of the three, has been equipped with high-tech communications capabilities, including remote audio and video connections that allow SDSU specialists in Watertown to hold meetings and seminars with other regional centers around the state.
Purchasing and installing that equipment cost about $50,000, of which the Watertown Area Chamber of Commerce Ag Committee donated $20,000, while SDSU picked up the balance. SDSU officials have been very concerned over the safety of that equipment and were not comfortable with the room being rented out as in the past, fearing it could be damaged.
In the negotiation process, SDSU officials included a clause that calls for them to pay $500 per month for the 1,000-square-foot classroom and, basically, gives them total control over access after this year.
That is the portion of the lease that rubbed some the wrong way.
County Extension office Coordinator Becky Goens schedules the rental of the classrooms and county 4-H Advisor Jodi Loehrer also oversees and utilizes those rooms. Tuesday, they asked the commissioners why they weren't involved in the discussions concerning Classroom A when they are the ones fielding the calls from the public on renting facilities.
"We wondered when we might be involved in this conversation," Loehrer told the board. "We have not been involved at all, and we have worked (with the classrooms) for years.
"There might be a point where someone needs the whole building, including Classroom A."
Goens voiced similar concerns.
"We don't know how much it's going to be used or when it's going to be used," she said. "Nobody ever said. We have contracts in place for 2013 and have had inquiries for 2014 already."
Regional office coordinator Warren Rusche was one of the contract negotiators for SDSU during the talks and said, for this year, they will try to work scheduling out with the county office staff.
"If we can satisfy our security concerns, we will work with you to meet those (2013) obligations," Rusche said Tuesday. "As for 2014, I would say SDSU has an exclusive lease on those 1,000 square feet."
Brinkman said the original proposal had called for a 5-year lease agreement between SDSU and the county, but state law prohibits the current board from obligating a future board of commissioners to such an agreement, so the lease was altered for annual renewal.
"There's no doubt this is a long-term agreement," Brinkman said, "But it will literally be 1-year at a time."
Newly seated Commissioner Tyler McElhany voted against the lease agreement and later said he did so because of the handling of the classroom situation.
"I believe there were some concerns between SDSU and the local Extension staff on the lease of that room," McElhany said. "There were concerns that (county staff) hadn't been involved in the conversation.
"I hope there aren't any problems that crop up in the future, but I could see there could be."
He said he has no problems with the rest of the lease agreement and is glad Watertown was chosen for one of the regional Extension sites.
"I didn't have any other qualms with it," McElhany said. "That was the whole reason I voted against it.
Brinkman said the lease negotiations fell under the authority and responsibility of the Board of Commissioners to make the decisions.
"I think the county commission is the ultimate entity for the use of that facility," Brinkman said following the meeting. "The two (county) staff members who are out there are good staff members, but I didn't think they needed to be involved (in lease talks).
"I thought we just do the negotiations and inform staff, so they could do business under the terms of the new lease."
Brinkman and Commissioner Myron Johnson both said they expect the county will bring in more revenue from leasing the classroom to SDSU than it would see through normal rentals, and the staff will need to adjust and work with the new tenants.
"It (the lease) is something different, and there's a little bit of a turf war going on," Johnson said, adding he did talk to the staff about the lease proposal. "They (staff) have been in control there for years, and it's going to take time for them to get used to it.
"They have to work together — there's no reason why they can't all work together."

Working with Egg Whites
Food Fitness to Nourish Your Body
Egg whites are key players in many recipes and often are the reason for recipe failures. Egg whites should whip up high in volume yet be stable, moist and soft enough (even with stiff peaks) to fold easily into batter or spread for meringues.
Whip Those Whites!
Temperature. To ensure the greatest yield when whipped, whites should be at room temperature. Because warm eggs are harder to separate; however, separate them while they are still cold. Then bring the egg whites to room temperature by placing them in a bowl that is then set in another bowl of warm water.
Hand Separation. The best way to separate eggs is with your hands. This is because you are less likely to break the yolk. Place two bowls on the counter. Crack the egg, and dump the yolk and egg white into one hand, over one of the bowls. Spread apart your fingers slightly to let the white fall through, into the bowl. Place the yolk into the other bowl. Make sure you thoroughly wash your hands before and after separating eggs.
Shell Rescue. If you contaminate the whites with a small amount of yolk, use the shell to scoop out the yolk.
Clean Equipment. Make sure the bowl and beaters are clean and free of fat. Even a small amount of fat, such as egg yolk or oil, can contaminate the whites and prevent them from whipping properly. As a precaution, lightly wipe the clean mixing bowl and beaters with vinegar or lemon juice.
Best Bowl
A solid copper beating bowl is ideal to use for mixing whites. There is a chemical reaction between the copper and the whites, resulting in more stable whites. If you do not have copper, use a stainless steel bowl.
Slow Start
Begin beating whites at medium-low to low speed until they are frothy. Then increase the speed to medium-high or high and beat continuously until they reach the desired stage.
Whisk by Hand. If you consistently have problems with over-beating whites, try whipping them by hand using a copper bowl and a large balloon whisk with lots of fine tines. Doing so produces more stable whites and it is nearly impossible to over-beat them.
Perfectly Whipped. Whites are perfectly whipped when they remain stable, even if you tip the bowl upside down.
Folding Egg Whites
Sponge-style cakes are light and airy in texture. The cakes owe their texture to beaten egg whites and sugar that are folded with egg yolks and flour. The cakes' leavening, or rising power, comes entirely from the egg whites, so the step of folding the egg whites is critical. If you mix the batter too much when folding, the eggs will deflate and you will have a flat cake.
After the egg whites and sugar have been beaten to stiff but not dry peaks, add the egg yolk mixture and half of the flour. To keep the mixture light and airy, add the flour using a sieve of sifter.
To fold the mixture together, bring a silicone spatula straight down into the mixture and slide it across the bottom of the bowl, bringing it up the side and turning over the mixture. Move the bowl one-quarter turn and repeat the process until most of the flour has been incorporated. Not all of the flour will be completely mixed in -- this is okay.
Sift the remaining flour over the mixture, and repeat the folding process. This is a gentle process in which you are trying to keep as much air in the egg mixture as possible, so you want to be careful not to over mix. When you are finished, the batter should be light and airy; there may even be a few traces of flour or egg white that are not mixed in. If you over mix the batter, your cake may stay flat and not rise.
Quick Whipping
A teaspoonful of cold water added to the white of an egg causes it to whip more quickly while increasing the quantity.

In his book
In the Dock: Absurdities of Indian Law
, published in 2000, Dr Bibek Debroy said, there are an estimated 25,000 statutes at the state level and 2,500-3,000 at the Central level that are old, dysfunctional and redundant and deserve to be junked. Speaking at a Moneylife Foundation event just after the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government was sworn in, he said, "We do not readily know the number of statutes in the country. There is no complete state list, and we can only guess how many state-level statutes there are for all states. Then there is the problem of counting. I mean, whether to count the amended statute separately or not."
The oldest statutes still surviving, according to Dr Debroy, are the Bengal Districts Act and Bengal Indigo Contracts Act of 1836 and Bengal Districts Act, Act 21 of 1836, which still have to be scrapped by the state government; 140 other statutes go back to the 19th century and another 200 pre-date Independence.
These have survived, despite regular efforts to weed out redundant laws in the first decade after India became a republic. After the 1960s, there have been several commissions and individual efforts to identify and repeal redundant statutes through 'repealing acts'. The first such Act to scrap several British statutes was in 1961; it was followed by sporadic action over the years. In 2001, under the previous NDA government, a few hundred laws were scrapped and the civil procedure code was also overhauled.
The effort has gathered great momentum under prime minister Narendra Modi. Action began almost immediately after he was sworn in. On 5 June 2014, the then cabinet secretary Ajit Seth, in a note to all secretaries and heads of government institutions and public sector banks, had issued a list of instructions outlining the government's priorities. The second instruction on that list was that each department should "identify and repeal at least 10 rules and processes, and even archaic Acts that are redundant and would not lead to any loss of efficiency."
The government has systematically got cracking on the easier task of scrapping outdated laws. In his column in the Indian Express, Dr Debroy said, the R Ramanujam committee set up by the prime minister in 2014 had submitted "a mammoth four-volume report," which identified 1,741 Central Acts for repeal. Since then, the number of laws identified for repeal has increased to 1,877.
In the past two years, several repealing and amendment legislations (in 2014, 2015 and 2016) have led to the scrapping of 1,178 redundant statutes, mainly Appropriations Acts. The latest of these, The Appropriation Acts (Repeal) Act, No 22 and No 23 of 2016 received presidential assent on 6 May 2016. Appropriation Acts are meant for the limited purpose of authorising specific expenditures. India does not have the doctrine of desuetude (whereby certain statutes become unenforceable because of disuse), or what the Americans call a 'sunset clause', which allows a statute to die after it has served its purpose. Indian laws remain technically alive until specifically repealed.
Apart from hundreds of Appropriation Acts of the Centre, various states and the railways, a few statutes repealed in the latest round include such relics as the Excise (Spirits) Act, 1863, The Foreign Recruiting Act, 1874 ,The Indian Law Reports Act, 1875, The Elephants Preservation Act, 1879 and The Lepers Act, 1898. And, yet, this is the easy part; the real work still has to begin.
According to Dr Debroy, fixing and reforming our laws will allow us to "achieve 1.5% more GDP every year." In a paper titled "Judicial reforms—law and contract enforcement", he had said, "Most legal reforms since 1991 have been triggered by economic reforms, domestic and external." There is no such drive or leadership in cleaning up the legal system, despite all the cynicism about it, he was concluded in his paper.
That is no longer the case under Modi
. And, yet, the work done on repealing obsolete laws has received little public attention, because none of this is really relevant to ordinary Indians. And what is relevant has either not changed or the government has sent out mixed signals. Today, most of us are seriously worried about justice being out of reach of the average Indian because of the slow pace, mind-numbing processes and prohibitive costs. The need of the hour is an effort to overhaul the legal system and to ensure that obsolete rules and scrapped right down to state and municipal levels. So far, only Rajasthan has led the effort by scrapping 274 obsolete laws in May 2016. We need to see the effort gather momentum in all the NDA-ruled states.
But it is even more important to see action at the municipal level. Consider just one example. The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), which is the richest and largest municipality in Asia, continues to enforce a maze of obsolete laws, rules or regulations as a tool of harassment and rent-seeking from business establishments, especially smaller businesses. From white-wash registers (a relic of the British efforts to enforce hygiene), to mandatory cross-ventilation by disallowing office partitions that go up to the ceiling (again, carried forward from the days before air-conditioning), to a licence for shops with a threshold opening to a main street—there are innumerable rules that are cited only for rent-seeking. BMC employees who come on their inspection (collection) rounds, when asked for a list of the rules that a shop or business has to follow, will laugh and tell you that you will not be able to follow them.
How long does it take a government, which has 'Digital India' as one of its flagship initiatives, to put every rule online? Once they are online, the whole world will be able to see how ridiculous the rules are. Our effort to seek permission for an outdoor event in Mumbai at a well-known public space that is routinely rented out turned into a nightmare with a series of permissions that were necessary and a bribe demanded for each of them. There is no public outrage, because the dirty work of obtaining permissions is done by event-managers and is included in the 'cost of doing business'.
While legal reform at the state and municipal level has yet to gather steam, what is more worrying is the government's stand on two important issues. Chaitanya Kalbag wrote in
The Economic Times
recently: "Twice in the past two and a half years, the Supreme Court has ruled with a 19th-century mindset on vital 21st-century issues affecting personal freedom using criminal and penal codification that was enacted by India's British rulers." He refers to a 2013 judgement which upheld Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code criminalising homosexuality and the May 2015 judgement upholding the constitutional validity of Sections 499 and 500 relating to criminal defamation. As Mr Kalbag points out, both are relics of a code drafted in 1837 by Thomas Macaulay.
But what is even more important is that the government argued forcefully for their retention, when this should have been part of Modi
much touted efforts at modernising and overhauling the legal system. So it is one cheer to the government for the good work in scrapping thousands of obsolete statutes. But real reform that will help the people would mean clear and consistent effort to move towards a legal framework that is in line with 21st century needs and mindsets.

Very informative for a lay man. Hope authorities in MCGM and State Govt leadership read this article and act to repeal obsolete laws and rules for the benefit of community.

Dr Debroy is very right in that nobody knows as to how many laws, rules, and regulations absolutely redundant are lying in the cupboards of judiciary. But are we stopping enactments that do not go with a public debate and discussion? Why should we not have a Regulatory Impact Assessment of every new statute be submitted by the concerned Minister at the beginning of the first Parliamentary session in the year? The Impact assessment can be for the calendar year.
Even the latest Acts do not mention the costs of implementing them and how these costs are to be shared between the Union and State Governments.

The present constitution is very rigid and has too many formalities to be completed & hence to make one law, you require one year, & to repeal it takes 2 years. The time has come to re-write the consititution in simple & meaningful way. Britain does not have any constitution, but they gave one to us & make a mess of it - ourselves. Set certain principles which guide deliverance of justice. The recent flip flops of Supreme Court on NEET exam is one example. To have a common entrance is laudable. Private institutions are channels of corruptions for the politician for it they who own an educational institute. Private institutes have been giving fake degrees & making money. First they should be continuous raids on such institutions including judiciary who use these archaic laws in their judgement. The judicial activism on "bar dance girls in mumbai" is another case. Employment is a must & basic right. However, it does not mean that one can practise any thing that causes damage to the society. Today terrorism is anothe profession. Paid killings is another profession. Taking such pretext, one can go on killing spree & yet claim immunity. So the society has to be protected. The bar dancers can find some other profession to make their living than being a parasite who is living & surving on other woman's sorrow.

It's a shame we are contemplating repealing of laws enacted during British rule, something we should have done immediately after our 'independence'. Nehru as PM for 17 long years of uninterrupted tenure had the best chance (mandate in parliament) and ought to have reviewed and repealed all laws enacted during British rule - something our great leaders fought against for over 100 years. Irony is that we not only follow most laws enacted during the British rule in India, but have also adopted their political (Westminster model of democracy), Administrative (ICS->IAS), and legal systems to this day, and yet pretend that we have been 'independent' of the British since 1947. It appears that our great leaders only wanted the Britishers out of India, not their draconian laws and policies. Perhaps, our "great" leaders realized that the laws which the British enacted to ensure their vice-like grip over native Indians, can continue to be used against the same native Indians, while they can be the new "supreme rulers" (as many MPs like to call it). While we celebrate the contributions of various leaders during our struggle for freedom from the British rule, its our leaders since 1947 who have been traitors, unpatriotic, and have been doing the greatest disservice to the nation by using the same crooked laws the British used to suppress us like our erstwhile rulers.

Most of India's laws after 1947 were designed to "fix" those who were talented or prosperous and mulct them for the benefit of the Nouveau Kleptocracy who would be the reliable camp followers, voters and fellow despoilers of the PANGOLIN* rulers of India.
The Indian Constitution that enshrines inequality under law, exceptions to the rule of law and the "Many Nations" theory became the fount of inequity in the name of "Social Engineering" or downtroddng the uptrodden and uptrodding the downtrodden to condemn India to a perpetual state of Civil War. The resultant culture rivals Medieval Europe in having created "Four Legs Good Two Legs Bad" feudal layers of castes, tribes and religions entitled to privileges by birth or affiliation at the cost of the Nouveau Serfs, who are the erstwhile "People of Dharma" ** folded into the "Hindu" lumpen by the British in 1921. These serfs have even been deprived of even their religious freedoms and commonwealth such as temples, treasure, lands, water bodies and educational institutions apart from fair treatment under law in courts, educational and employment opportunities.
The resultant Judicial culture reflects this fully with unaccountable arbitrariness, prejudices, insouciance, incompetence and lack of integrity.
Nothing will change until: (1) Inequality under law and exceptions to the rule of law are expurgated from the Constitution and laws of India. (2) Bribe Taking is defined as criminal extortion or treason and made a capital offense with special rules of evidence and special courts with summary powers (akin to a Military Court Martial). (3) All court proceedings are video graphed and archived for public viewing and can be used as evidence to prosecute Judges and Magistrates at all levels under special laws and special courts with summary powers akin to a military Court Martial, for insouciance, negligence, tardiness, dereliction of duty, disregard for law and propriety, behaviour unbecoming of a Judge such as lack of etiquette and manners, (4) every job on the "Public" i.e. Government Pay Roll has specific and unique Key Responsibility Areas, Key Performance Parameters and Objectives for which they are held accountable on pain of summary dismissal for non-performance or life imprisonment for treason for sabotage under special laws and special courts with summary powers akin to a military Court Martial and (5) India creates an Ombudsman Service of reemployed and retrained military officers (Colonel and Below, JCOs and NCOs) who retire before 50 to serve as presiding officers, investigating/prosecuting and enforcement officers at the afore mentioned "Special Courts", one for every tehsil with powers to arrest, incarcerate, try and punish any and all from the President of India to a peon in accordance with the Special Laws framed therefor.
*Note: PANGOLIN: An enemy of India who believes in inequality under law, exceptions to the rule of law and persecution of some for the benefit of others. At present, the sole purpose of the Indian Republic, Constitutional or otherwise, is to pamper and provide for certain constitutionally preferred sections of society who the British found useful to hold and exploit India at the cost of those who the British hated and persecuted. The Pangolin is a creature that is unique to India and feeds on ants that are known in nature to be industrious and hard working if not quite as fruitful as bees who flee to better climes. (PANGOLIN is an acronym for the Periyar-Ambedkar-Nehru-Gandhi-Other (alien) Religions-Communist Consensus that usurped the British Mantle and has worn it with elan to loot, plunder, and rape India since 1921 and re write History and laws to their exclusive benefit since 1947)
Until 1921, The People of Dharma comprised those who adhered to Aryan (Brahmin) Law that flowed from the Prathamo Upanishad (Karma and Dharma) and the Aryan Constitution represented by the Swasthika. They followed many religions that may be represented in a five by five matrix of convenience. Along the horizontal axis, you have five cardinal philosophical proclivities: Dwaita (self the supplicant and deity the omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient) Vishishta Dwaita (Self realized is divinity discovered) Adwaita (Self realized is divinity realized), Shankhya (agnosticism) and Shoonya (atheism). Along the vertical axis, the 64 Tantras resolve themselves into the five cardinal methodologies Shaiva (asceticism), Dakshina (Self discipline), Samaya (balance), Vama (Catharsis) and Kaula (hedonism). Post 1921, those who did not follow Aryan (Brahmin) Law were labeled Dalits by the British, the Law giving priesthood was persecuted, the commonwealth of the People of Dharma, their temples, religious freedom, treasure, water bodies, agricultural and grazing lands, educational institutions, and other common wealth was confiscated and all those who were not Din e Kitabi (i.e. People of the Book driven foreign religions) were labelled "Hindu". The Bhagavad Gita was propagated in the courts and elsewhere as a substitute for the Brahmins who used to interpret the law. In 1959, the PANGOLIN* Indian Republic carried out the British Loot, Plunder, and Destruction of the People of Dharma to definitive affect in what remained of British India and the princely states over which their brutal "social engineering" writ ran.
US FDA Makes Sugar Count More Transparent
24 May 2016

Did you know that sugar goes by many names? This can be confusing when you're just looking for the word "sugar" on a label. In fact, many
manufacturers use obscure names for sugar and break them up on the label into different kinds so that they appear to be deceptively small parts of the ingredients list. This can be confusing when you're just looking for the word "sugar" on a label.
The FDA has approved a new
nutrition facts label
that must list how many grams of sugar have been added by manufacturers to the food and beverage as well as what percentage of the recommended daily maximum that represents. Nutrition labels already list the recommended maximums for fats, sodium, cholesterol and carbohydrates.
The new label will also highlight "calories" and "servings" and requires that serving sizes noted on the panel, which was first introduced more than 20 years ago, more closely reflect the amounts of food that people currently eat.
(The FDA's proposal had prompted comedian John Oliver, host of HBO's "Last Week Tonight," to start a Twitter movement asking consumers to demand companies reveal how much sugar are in products by using the equivalent of circus peanuts to show the amounts using the hashtag
#showusyour peanuts
. TINA.org was happy to
Companies have until July 26, 2018 to comply with the new labeling rules. Until then, here are just a few terms to look for in the shopping aisle when tallying up sweeteners:
syrup (such as high-fructose corn syrup or brown rice syrup)
malt (contains
cane (such as evaporated cane juice or cane sugar)
agave nectar
fructose (natural sugar from fruits)
lactose (natural sugar from milk)
sucrose (common table sugar; made from fructose and glucose)
maltose (sugar made from grain)
glucose (simply sugar, product of photosynthesis)
dextrose (form of glucose)
Now that you are an expert at spotting names for sugar, here's a quiz to test your knowledge. How many times is sugar listed in the following products?
1. Clif Builder's Bar
2. Annie's Friends Bunny Grahams
3. Kashi Go Lean Crunch
4. Newman's Own Ginger-O's
5. Luna S'mores
3: Beet Juice Concentrate, Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Organic Dried Cane Syrup
5: Organic cane sugar (2x), organic cane syrup, honey, sugar.
3: Brown rice syrup, dried cane syrup, honey.
3: Organic powdered sugar, molasses, organic sugar.
6: Organic dried cane syrup (3x), organic brown rice syrup, fructose, organic oat syrup solids

Ordinance will give NEET statutory status: Nadda
24 May 2016
To bookmark you need to sign in
As President Pranab Mukherjee signed an ordinance on the NEET exams on Tuesday, Health Minister J.P. Nadda said this will provide it statutory status.
The ordinance exempts certain state boards from the ambit of National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for a year.
The exempted states include Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Punjab.
The health minister, addressing a press conference here, said while states will be able to hold the undergraduate exams, the postgraduate exams to be held in December will be under NEET.
The central government was committed to implementing NEET but the states expressed their concerns which had to be addressed, Nadda said.
"State governments wanted exemption and the issues were related to parity of syllabus and option of giving exam in regional languages," Nadda said.
"After due consultation, we came out with an ordinance which provides NEET a statutory basis and where we give state governments an option to conduct examination and those who have conducted exams to go forward in that direction," he said.

In this particular case, I have a machine in the database which reckons it was last updated some months ago (even though I did a rescan of our network an hour ago). As we use DHCP, the IP address no longer corresponds to this device (laptop)
If I click the <rescan this device now> option what should it do? Rescan the laptop name? or rescan the IP address? Either way, nothing appears to happen.
any clues chaps?

Chapter 2 - Coming of age
The years flew past with a vengeance, Arnai being tended to both by Solaris and by Felda – Meme's younger sister, who had a child of her own only 2 years later, courtesy of a young wanderer by the name of Olric, who was taken in by the clan. The chief's happiness when Olric decided to stay, and asked for Fleda's hand was indescribable, so rare an occasion was it for an outsider to join a clan. And Arnai grew up fast, faster than Gregor. He was only in the world for 9 months when he took his first steps, and by 11 months he was confidently toddling around the forge, causing great worry to Solaris. Fortunately Cormac stepped in at this point and entertained the young boy as Solaris worked the forge – it was near enough time for Cormac to take a back seat anyway, as Solaris had learnt all that needed to be taught by hand, and could now be verbally criticized instead. It came as little surprise, barely a week after Cormac had taken responsibility for the lad, when he spoke his first word – "Cormac", the old forge master held in great reverence by the dark haired child, with his serious eyes that seemed to pierce a person's very soul.
By comparison, Gregor was progressing very slowly. This was not a worry however, as he was still developing faster than the average child. Unlike his brother, who had grown tall enough to be a year older than he was, Gregor was the height you would expect an 11 month child to be, and just beginning to walk. His words were still incoherent until he was 15 months old, when his first word, Meme, was uttered. At 17 months, Arnai was speaking fluently, and with some understanding., followed relatively closely by his twin at 20 months. Arnai had got more adventurous and when he was 22 month old, he barely escaped a tragedy. Comrac had dozed off, leaving Arnai with the freedom to wander throughout the forge, and Solaris was busy crafting a bracelet for Meme, at the insistence of Keiran. Fascinated by the glowing heat of the forge, Arnai fixed his bright blue gaze upon the anvil, climbing upon which would give him the vantage point required to see over the stone wall and inside this luminous mouth, captured as it was by the surrounding walls and chimney, his father's silhouette in its embrace. Climbing the anvil was no easy task however, and the toddler had to resort to a mixture of running and jumping to reach his destination. Finally managing to pull himself up onto the anvil's flat surface, he peered into the furnace, stoked as it was by fire powder and a good stock of wood and coal. What he saw in the lower pit, dancing within the flames, entertained him and as he drew closer, he laughed. It was his laugh that saved him, alerting the smith to his son's plight, the danger of being drawn into the blaze as Arran once had. Solaris immediately dropped his work, the gold falling into the flames; lost to all but the hunger of the fire, and firmly drew his son away from the danger, ignoring the child's howling at the heat that still radiated from his thick leather forging gloves.
He dropped the boy at the door and pulled the gloves off, grabbing a bucket of water – they kept a constant supply to hand in case of emergency – and a cloth and, pulling off the dirty tunic, applied the cool liquid to his small body. Fortunately, the skin had not been damaged by the heat, and the simple act of cooling it prevented any blisters from forming. "Never do that, never." Solaris simply said, their blue eyes locking together, worry emanating from one pair, innocence from the other. It was fortunate that Felda's child was born 2 months after this, as Arnai was so enraptured by the frailty of this arrival that he spent little time in the forge, and it was this curiosity that lead the 2 year old to explore more of the keep, careful not to stray too close to the older children, who were mostly around 7 or 8 years old. It was on one of these explorations that he discovered his mother's house, and Gregor. The first time he came across it, the door was open and he simply wandered in, much to Meme's surprise. It was Arnai that was most surprised however, to see a child his own age, albeit smaller and more rotund and eyes lees of piercing blue, more grey like their mother's. As Kieran was out hunting deer, Meme was happy to let the children play together, her sons reunited despite their father's desperate attempt to keep them apart, to prevent the demonic curse spreading to Gregor. From then on, the boys played together when they could, and when they could not chase each other round the camp, in fear of Kieran, Arnai would go and watch over Laurissa for Felda.
It was not until Arnai was five that he became fascinated with the forge again, taking refuge in it on his birthday and finding, much to his delight, that Cormac still haunted the space, with a friend – Paric, the old healer's bondman, and the clan's history keeper. It was from him that he learned most of the ancient folklore, tales of clan leaders bathing in the blood of those who dared oppose them, standing true to their clan and seeking control over rich lands. Of course this deference to the forge was not without reason – Gregor had also began to hear folk stories, told to him by his father, one of which was the tale of the Tanoi – from this and the story of their birth, also acting against the favour that Meme seemed to hold for the tall young boy, Gregor began a campaign of hostility, no longer friends with his brother. And as Gregor was the clan chief's heir and grandson many of the children, both younger and older, followed his example. Arnai found himself ostracised from the group and sought solace by the ever-warm, comforting fire, in his father's workshop. His curiosity at the ill treatment he was receiving lead him to ask the old men about the Tanoi, and with great eagerness they launched into tale.
"The Tanoi were here before the Imperials, lad, they were a warlike group yet kept themselves much to themselves; the old stories tell us that they were friendly and happy to trade with us. But then the imperials came and exposed the foul creatures for what they were. The blue eyed strangers that had once been like kin to us were truly the most foul of demons, for they were the reason that pestilence stalker our land, killing our children and livestock, flattening our fields and reducing them to rot. Our ancestors did not believe these wild speculations at first, so used were they to the outward kindness that they had always been shown. However the imperial said he would show them proof, and so set out with the clan chief and the wisest man in the keep. He took them high onto the Toris hill.."
"Which hill is Toris hill?" Arnai interjected
"Why the one that this keep is named after!" The old man exclaimed, and took him outside to point to the hill, covered in pine forest. "Of course it wasn't covered in those things back then – there was a watchtower built right at the top, the grandest stone building that you would ever see if the tales are to believed" He ushered the boy back into the forge. "Now, they went up Toris hill and waited, the chief in the tower and the wise old man in the bushes by its base. Sure enough, as the night closed in and the moon shone down from high in the clouds, a winged beast tore from the sky, so fast that had they not been waiting for just this, they would surely have missed it. They kept their eyes on the spot where it had landed, and to their incredulity, they saw a figure step from its back and smite several bulls with powerful magic, the sort that only the Tanoi could use. Having done this, the beast lifted the carcasses and flew off, rider now firmly seated upon its back. Angered by such a betrayal, the chief signed a scrap of paper that bound him to aid the imperials in their righteous quest to rid the land of the fiends." Here he paused for a second, a look of sadness on his face, barely seeing the boy sat enraptured before him with the fire warming his back. Solaris too had come to listen, keeping one eye on the forge that was roaring in the background.
The old man smiled, and leapt back into his story. "The war lasted for a long time, but eventually the Tanoi had been all but wiped out. The few that remained were without steeds, as they could not keep them and their lives at the same time, so the imperials began a great hunt, any person whom they suspected to be in league with the devils they took away, or sometimes merely killed on the spot."
Once more, Arnai interjected, "But how could they tell who was a baddie and who wasn't?" his young voice holding such innocence that Paric did not truly wish to answer, but the boy had a right to know, so with a sigh, he continued.
"The Tanoi had control over great magic, so a spell could be used to determine the magical strength of the person. Of course this had its flaws, as many people had magic without being evil, but the Tanoi had two weaknesses – their clan tattoos were made with a special paint, which caused them to glow in the moonlight, and also they were all covered in shapes; swords and spears, bows, arrows and knives. You name a weapon or a tool of use and it would be there. Any born with such a mark was killed, for fear that the race would return and enslave them all."
He glanced meaningfully at Arnai, who gazed back with worried eyes, a hand rising to his back. "Yes, their marks were just like yours is. But many who were killed were not Tanoi – they had no magic beating in their heart, and it has been an age since they were last seen. Also you were born of a clan chief's son and another's daughter. There is no reason that you could be a demon. Even so, you were lucky that Solaris stepped in when he did, so just remember that." The old man concluded his tale and motioned for the lad to leave him be, pulling his felt cap over his dark eyes.

Applications and services are made up of more components and integrations today, than they were a few years ago. Development is pressed to deliver more functionality, faster, focusing on small, incremental changes, using agile methodologies and tools. In this whitepaper, we look at how application release automation is the only way to gain true control of a complex matrix of applications, releases and environment variations.
Developing effective private cloud management and implementation plans is a top priority for many IT decision makers. Highly integrated management environments can monitor and optimize complex, heterogeneous private cloud applications, while infrastructure can provide IT staff with self-service provisioning capabilities and tools to automate many routine processes and workflows. This white paper discusses industry-wide views on private cloud management trends and priorities, while case studies highlight the benefits of using enhanced architecture and highlight the lessons learned.
The PDF is the most widely used file type among business professionals, and now IT pros are beginning to recognize that Adobe's Acrobat Standard software is not the only choice application available. This whitepaper lists nine common factors that might motivate you to switch.
This whitepaper provides provides a global view into enterprise application usage and the associated threats by summarizing network traffic assessments conducted in 3,056 organizations worldwide in 2012. The application and threat patterns discussed within this report dispel the position that social networking, filesharing and video applications are the most common threat vectors, while reaffirming that internal applications are highly prized targets.
Challenges: - Legacy disk-based SAN performance plummeted with the addition of just 10 VDI users. - The management complexities of the legacy disk-based SAN did not allow for a "set-it-and-forget-it" operation, but the organization required simplicity. Results: - Currently supporting 250 virtual desktops, with more to be deployed - Reduced latency to sub-millisecond - Dramatically simplified storage management - Achieved 12-to-1 data reduction

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

What represents a Toxictoon better than a zombie skull with it's tongue hanging out and a tie around it? Well that is exactly what we have here with this amazing Toxictoon, Tongue Tied From the mind of Eric Pigors and the sculpting genious of Bruce Spaulding Fuller, Tongue Tied is the ultimate Toxictoon.
And what is a Toxictoon you ask? To quote Eric, "It's a cartoon character described as a nutty, scabbed, chicken poxed, lilly livered, stiched up, bone poppin, goofball! With some sort of diabolical disturbing dilemma in store."
Tongue Tied comes complete with hair, stiches, skull teeth and a long tongue with tie.

Last night Mrs. Maister brought home a special pre-birthday treat for me - a bottle of Sheaf Stout. She was pretending to be the archetypical June Cleaver wife and served it to me already poured in a glass. When she presented it she could somehow tell I was mortified by more than just her acting skills. She served the beer in a tall colored drinking glass ! Looked kinda like these I didn't want to hurt her feelings but those tall drinking glasses are what should be used for drinking ice tea or maybe lemonade - certainly not for beer, I usually use pint mugs or pilsners for that.
That little incident has caused me to take stock of our drinking glass inventory. We typically pride ourselves in making do with less materially, but my god, we've got a ton of glasses: we've got a dozen 'regular' wine glasses, a dozen 'fine' wine glasses, a dozen crystal drinking glasses (only used for occasions like Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners), 8 or so tall pilsners, 8 or so champaigne glasses, 6 pint beer mugs, 8 or so smaller mugs, about 8 tall ice tea glasses, a dozen 'regular' drinking glasses we got for our wedding, and a dozen 'good' coffee cups. In addition to this, we have what I am going to call the 'crap cupboard'. This cupboard is filled with miscellaneous non-homogenous, mismatched drinking vessels accumulated over a lifetime from dozens of different sources long ago forgotten. We're talking about the big plastic cup from Steak n Shake, an orphaned glass whose 5 siblings were broken years ago, a gas station coffee mug, jelly jars, mason jars, a couple 'Empire Strikes Back' glasses, an 'over the hill' joke glass, a few plastic drinking cups from childhood foisted on us by parents, shotglasses from that trip to St. Louis or Washington DC..... you get the idea. Guess what we end up drinking from most often - yep, glasses from the 'crap cupboard'.
So does anyone else have a 'crap cupboard'? Any especially beloved stray 'Archie', 'Peanuts' or Coca Cola commemorative drinking glasses cluttering up our kitchens? Or at the other end of the spectrum how about any specialized drinking glass sets for your beer drinking, wine drinking, coffee drinking or other specialty beverage needs?

A gunman opened fire inside a motel room in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa on Wednesday, killing a man and wounding two women before shooting three more people as he sought to elude an exhaustive manhunt that ended in his capture, police said.
Officers using a stun gun subdued the suspected gunman, identified as Ryan Elliot Giroux, 41, at a vacant condominium where he had taken refuge, some four hours after the initial shooting, Mesa police spokesman Esteban Flores told reporters.
"At this time we believe he is responsible for each and every one of these shootings," Flores said. Police said the motive for the rampage was still unclear but that the initial gunfire erupted following an argument at the motel.
By Wednesday evening, police were serving multiple search warrants at several locations, Flores said.
He said Giroux had been "asking for something in particular," but that police did not know if it was drugs.
Local NBC affiliate 12 News showed a man being led out of the residential complex in a white full-body suit, his wrists shackled, and taken to a local hospital.

Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis Get By With a Little 'Help' From Their Friends

Viola Davis, director Tate Taylor, and Octavia Spencer at the 43rd NAACP Image Awards. Images via Getty.
After watching three seasons of True Blood, I've come to the conclusion that like a Value Meal at McDonald's, the show packs in a lot of crap that's fun while it lasts but leaves you feeling unsatisfied.
Once upon a time, I liked this show! But lately, even though a lot happens in every episode, it feels sluggish, heavy, tedious and drawn-out.
Sometimes the tone of this show is mystifying. Just when you settle in for a campy, fun ride, you're forced to sit through some "serious" stuff.
Who knew suffering from severe blood loss could be so fun?
Last night's episode was so romantic!
Lots of stuff happened in last night's episode, but honestly, Alcide is such a tasty piece of mancandy, who can focus on anything else?
Last night's episode had so much sex. Motel sex, workplace cunnilingus, and straight-up hatefucking.
There were lots of odd moments in last night's episode, and Lafayette's hallucinatory PTSD moment was one of the weirdest.
Why waste time with whatever lame pillow talk Bill and Sookie are having when you can have scenes with Lafayette?

By Charlotte Hatherley
Second single to be released from Charlotte Hatherley's critically acclaimed debut album 'Grey Will Fade', 'Bastardo', is a poppy, sun-kissed, fun-packed offering. Behind the cute pleasantries of sound, however, lies the rather angry story of a one night stand gone wrong, when the Mexican 'bastardo' runs off in the middle of the night, with Hatherley's precious Gibson SG guitar in tow. Hmm. It maintains the feel-good, summery vibe of Hatherley's previous single yet is, thankfully, far less irritating. Though still remaining a little too sickly for me, its simple, uncomplicated manner and sweet vocals are actually quite endearing. Clearly much of her success is on the back of her presence in Ash and the poppy style and the tongue-in-cheek charm is very much reminiscent of early Ash classics. Yet stepping out of the shadows of Tim Wheeler here, she does prove with this single that she is far from incapable of standing on her own two feet.
B-side '3 Minutes' is much less poppy. Hatherley's vocals are less sickly sweet and it seems a lot less, well, girly, I suppose. Showing her to be capable of appearing as something other than the girl next door it gives her much more credibility than the A-side of the single. 'I Am A Kamera' is even better, taking Hatherley one step further away from the frivolous, playful nature of 'Bastardo' and consequently making me wish that she had chosen this as the single release. The guitars are much better, particularly at the beginning when everything builds up in a great crescendo leading to a riff which is so far from the quirky guitars used on the first track it is hard to believe they are played by the same artist. Same goes for the vocals; they seem to have been taken down an octave and again, sound much better for it. Everything is that little bit grittier-guitars, vocals, drums and whilst I wouldn't necessarily recommend that you buy this single for 'Bastardo' I would definitely say that this track is more than worth a listen.

Piper SighMature
It was much later at night and the yelling, cursing and wall-punching had stopped from the room next to Pipers'. Colt had finally given up on the fact he could get out of the room.
Piper shimmed out of her pool and once again, pulled the water from her body. Balisong and Belladonna were out on a mission for Mr. Ripper, so she decided to pay her new house mate a visit, be he willing or not. Having a man in the house would be good practise for Piper to keep her powers under control and that was something she was eager to learn.
She knocked lightly on the door, 'may I come in, sir?'
'Hmph.' Came a gruff, anger-laced reply. The door swung open and Piper walked in, she spotted the sullen boy who was sat in the corner like a child. Piper pitied his feeble attempt at being moody and sat in front of him; cross legged.
'Please close your legs!' He snapped, Piper looked down at her sitting position.
'But this is how all humans sit.' Piper frowned.
'Yeah, when they're wearing real clothes, not some skimpy underwear with floaty shit on top. You look like a teenage prostitute!' He growled, averting his eyes from Piper's alluring attire.
'I can't help it.'
'Yes you can, wear some real clothes.'
'I can't. I was born with these and it is against nymph law to change from them!' Piper said, a little offended, 'I do not want to fall to the sluggish ways of human dress!'
'Seriously, just go away. I'm not in the mood.' Colt took a deep breath in through his nose and glared Piper.
'Sorry... what is your name?'
Colt stared at Piper for a second, wondering whether she was serious or not; realising she was totally deadpan, he replied, 'Colt.'
'Like the demon hunter gun?' Piper shivered, 'I do not intend to go near one of them ever again!'
'Please just go away.'
'Can you help me learn to not seduce men, please, Colt?' Piper asked bluntly, but with a naive personality like hers, there was no way he could misinterpret the meaning of her words.
