Seems to be the adage that city police and NGOs have taken to heart in order to find and do away with situations that push youngsters from Muslim dominated areas into crime
Additional Commissioner of Police (East Region), Kaisar Khalid initiated a programme to instil good values and character inside the minds of wayward youths from Muslim dominated areas in eastern suburbs of the city. In coordination with Muslim religious committees, NGO's along with parents and guardians of local youths he has started arranging this counselling and guidance programme.
As much of the law breaking in urban areas take place in Muslim dominated areas, youngsters, instead of attaining formal education, step into the world of crime. Due to this the gap between the police and society in general is increasing in this area.
To bridge this gap the police have decided to form a committee comprising of religious bodies and NGO's to hold meetings. One such meeting was held on Thursday at Mhada Colony, opposite Gautam Nagar, Plot No.1 at Govandi. In the meeting youths were made aware about the dangers of stepping into crime world.
Kaisar Khalid speaking on the occasion said, "We need to identify the root cause of the behind criminality. There are two ways. One is to put pressure and restrict them. Another is by counselling and bringing together people to interact with the police. We have started a drive to regularly sensitise youths towards harmful effects of crime. For that we are involving community agencies. I am of the firm opinion that change should come from within both internally and externally."
"In the recent 15 days around 8 to 10 crimes like murders, robbery, extortion and theft occurred in this region. Whoever has done these crimes are not professionals. Amateur criminals lured by easy money committed these crimes. In the future our initiative will be responsible to stop such crimes whereby we can create a healthy society," added the police officer.
In the biggest ever police recruitment in Maharashtra, 17,000 constables will be inducted into the force. Mumbai will have a share of around 2,000 constables. In this context the Additional CP said, "Send your wards for police recruitments. Do not allow them to take the path of crime. Guide them when they need it most."
All senior inspectors of east region comprising of Zone-VI and Zone-VII in 16 to 17 police stations were directed to form such committees. Particularly in police stations like Shivaji Nagar, Deonar, Trombay, Nehru Nagar, Mulund, Vikhroli and Ghatkopar police teams were formed to find which medical shop owners supply addictives like whitener, tablets like Restil, Netrogen (commonly called as buttons), Korex syrup and other medication without doctor's prescription.
Dr. Rahil Qamer Siddiqui, a practicing doctor in the area was very much instrumental in the initiative started by the additional commissioner of east region. "In Shivaji Nagar-Govandi belt most of the school drop-outs step into the world of crime. Initially they start with drugs and alcohol, become addicted to it then become regular with crimes like thefts, molestation, eve teasing, robbery and kidnapping," informs Siddiqui.
Tanzeem Ulema Ah-Le-Sunnat, with the help of social activists of different NGO's in the area came together in coordinating with the police in order to help remove the malice of growing criminals in Muslim dominated areas.
"With the help of police we try to create a good and healthy society," adds Siddiqui, general secretary of Tanzeem Ulema Ah-Le-Sunnat.

Maybe they should go to Shpilbin and Zueva; that is the secret to get a medal . Apparently this move is initiated by the French Federation. Why they don't go to Zazoui?

The physical space of the Undergrad continues to undergo changes as we work to meet student demands on our heavily used space. The most recent visible recent change is the addition of New Books shelves, which shares space with our periodical Browsing collection. Just like the former Illini Browsing Room, you can stop in and see recent additions, or grab a comfy seat and relax with something good to read. (You can check the books out, too!)
The other change to our physical space is the completion of a much needed electrical upgrade! UGL staff and our patrons are thrilled to have additional outlets available for all those laptops! We'll be watching new traffic patterns (the students have been physically rearranging space to take advantage of working outlets-- they do let us know what they need!) to see what else we can do to facilitate group work and browsing behaviors in this area-- stay tuned!
In addition to our physical changes, we've also made some minor adjustments to our virtual space. We've had the AskUndergrad twitter stream embedded on the UGL homepage for some time but in January we changed the way we use it. In addition to alerts about the mechanical, electrical, and digital infrastructure, we began making connections between the intellectual lives of undergrads and UGL services & library resources. We're using it to show off new books, interesting databases, loanable technology, our partners, and events around the library, the campus, and the community.
Check us out! Right now we're just broadcasting but expect changes and interactivity soon.
Study Abroad Office (SAO)is a long-time partner of the Learning Commons effort at UGL. In
addition to drop-in Study Abroad Advising, SAO's Sarah Gleissner has been working with Rudy Leon to
develop new ways to help students make their decision and do their research about where on earth
they might want to live and learn.
The UGL has an ongoing commitment to supporting study abroad through its collections. Emily Love has developed a helpful listing of books and films, sorted by region and country. Rudy Leon has also selected a number of off-the-beaten-track culinary and cultural guidebooks to add to the collection. Keep your eyes out for these (and other) titles to start arriving!

Simpson Butterflies!
We sent away for caterpillars from the company Insect Lore. We bought 2 kits. Our caterpillars arrived on April 29, 2014 in 2 jars. Each jar contains 5 little black caterpillars and a special food for them on the bottom of the jars.
These tiny caterpillars will eat their food and grow larger and larger for 7 to 10 days. When they are done growing they will climb to the top of the cup and attach themselves to a paper lining on the underside of the lid. There they will hang in a j shape, shed their exoskeletons and harden into chrysalises!
After 2 days we will remove the chrysalides from the jars and place them into our butterfly habitat.
After another 7 to 10 days our Painted Lady Butterflies will begin to emerge from the chrysalides! At first their wings will be soft and crumpled. Slowly the butterflies will stretch and force blood into their veins to strengthen their wings.
Our Painted Lady Butterflies were released on May 19, 2014.

Water problem in Florida -Will Covered Porch Help?
We have a split level home built in the early 60's . The lowest level being part crawl space, part ground level, and part basement.
1. First issue (probably easier of the two) - crawl space is farily tightly sealed. It has two windows and a door which remain closed so no air circulation. There is a musty smell that is coming up from the crawl space and into the house. We have gotten two opinions on that issue from contractors. First is to seal it and add a dehumdifier; this is coming from the chain that specializes in that. Second is just DIY with a vapor barrier on the floor and open windows (they have screens).
2. Second Issue - During tropical storm Fay we had water come into the finished basement. Part of the issue was when the original owner finished the basement and brought electricity into the basement they did not seal around the area. We had water pouring out of the electrical outlet! We have had two estimates on that issue that involve resealing down to the footers and adding a french drain as well as tying in the gutters. 16k - 50K.
Wow! That is a large cost without adding anything to the house. So, I was wondering if adding a covered porch would help to keep water from the front of the house. That is the only area that is below ground level. Then add a french drain to keep water away from the house. One contractor said that would work.
I am so confussed about what would really work. It seems that everyone's solution to the problem is what they are selling. Any advice would be VERY appreciated.
1) For the crawlspace, I'd add a vapor barrier (minimum 6 mil poly) and cover it with gravel to secure it. Then open the windows and keep them open. The code these days requires that crawlspaces either be supplied with HVAC or ventilated full-time with dedicated vents. A dehumidifier would work, but is a larger investment.
2) This is a tougher problem. In Florida, you have a very very high water table to begin with. That's why basements (and especially finished ones) are pretty scarce there, I imagine. Although sealing any penetrations and cracks in the foundation will help, water will find a way in.
You cannot set out with the intent to design a waterproofing/water mitigation system for tropical storm-sized events. Containment and management of that amount of rainfall is very difficult and expensive, if possible at all. You've got to focus on long, steady rainfall events...Not the ones where you get 6" in an hour.
The best course of action isn't building a porch. All that does is create more hard surface and runoff.
The best thing to do is probably installation of french drains that get the water away from the house. Make sure that you have several inches in drop in the grade within the first 10' away from your house. You want surface water to flow out and away, not toward the house. If you have perimeter footing drains, great. If not, it might be worth looking into, but I'd try shallower surface drains first.
At the very least, you should have a sump pump in a pit in your basement at the lowest spot. That way you can get rid of what water does get in.
1's solution'd be to install vents w/fans controlled by a humidistat - at least that work'd for us on several jobs.
2's not as inexpensive,,, think of your bsmt as part of a ship's hull which's below waterline,,, just as ship's have bilge pumps, houses do, too, but we call 'em sump pumps,,, split levels're more difficult ( expensive ) than regular footer/wall construction in my experience.
covered porch might resolve the troubles but w/not great odds,,, if you think its worth a try, at the least you'll have a covered porch, right ??? the reason no one really KNOWS the answer is that people have trouble looking thru floors/dirt surfaces & actually seeing what's underneath :whistling2: me, too ! ! !
just read what 'mite posted,,, we're not in disagreement.
He had the inside perimeter of his house jackhammered and a french drain installed with 2 sump pumps. He said it cost 13k.
His contractor does business in the midatlantic area, but I'm sure you can find an equivalent where you are at.
***link removed. TheKCtermite***
once upon a time, worked for those guys,,, beware their sales pitches :whistling2: from the ' inspectors ' :whistling2: they probably haven't run ' into buried hazardous waste on a commercial job & happen to have an idle crew at ( insert your time/date ) ',,, their work's ok, tho - decent subs usually.
Yes, basements are pretty scarce here in Florida. The house was built on the side of a hill, so it was out of necessity.
Thanks for all of the ideas. Should we dig down to the footers and seal or just install the french drains? One contactor said any any waterproofing done when then house was built is now gone. If we have the french drain does that make the water proofing not necessary?
We have lived here about two years and this is the first it has happened. I don't want to worry every time we know a storm is coming, but I don't want to waste money either.
During Fay we had no electricity, so we had to borrow a generator to use our wet vac to keep the water out.
the only ' hill ' in florida's the sanitary landfill n of miami far's i recall :laughing:
YOU are 1 LUCKY sob 'cause that contractor's the ONLY guy i've ever heard that can look underground :yes: he's gonna be expensive ! ! ! however, in his defense, he may've meant piping MIGHT now be silt-clogg'd.
waterproofing is a mis-nomer as current codes only req a 3mil asphalt emulsion to be ( sprayed-rolled-painted ) on the walls ['mite'll be more current],,, its actually dampproofing.
if it were my house, i'd dig down alongside the footers & seal w/sonneborn/tremco/prosoco trowelable coatings,,, the trench drain's to carry excess wtr away from your very fine home,,, google structural repair waterproofing specialists institute - its a pro standards org.
GOTTA GO TO DINNER :thumbup:
there's no wet/dry vac that keeps water out - only capture/manage/direct it when it intrudes,,, see what i mean about our thinking ??? i know what you meant - just trying to get you to change your thought patterns.
If your basement is not finished, instead of resealing from the outside, you can have all the cracks filled with epoxy and then make sure the grade outside is right.
The french drain/sump pump will take you a long way in keeping your basement dry.

Crime: a harbinger of national insecurity
An incendiary device destroys a motorcycle shop on Quamina Street; a business owner is executed on Water Street; four adults and a baby are shredded by automatic fire in Cummings Lodge. These are the brutal realities of contractual arrangements involving a bomb, a handgun, and assault weapons that point to the powerful presence of sinister forces administering final solutions to private conflicts. Add the attacks (or arrangements) on the Ministry of Health's complex, and the predawn rampage directed at schools and other public places, and there emerges the sobering picture of a society hanging by a thread and at serious risk.
First, when the mosaic of criminal activity is observed, there are undeniable elements of the conspiratorial, of unlimited resources, of logistical acumen, and of invisible, compartmentalized guiding hands. It is a confluence of the angry, the sinister, and the ruthlessly efficient; the responsible parties could be private or otherwise.
Second, when these incidents are viewed as stand-alone issues involving individuals, they form momentary blips – curiosities – on society's jaded radar of concern. When brought together, they present a very alarming and dangerous picture of reality, and its particular significance in this divided land. It is a picture inclusive of willing hands – and associated arms – available for the implementation of immeasurable violence; of the probability of multiple groups of ready "professionals" at beck and call and ready to wreak havoc for a price. No questions asked, just show the money; or agree to future provision of benefits, including shelter. It is only business, nothing personal, and nothing racial.
Third, the nation had its first experience in recent times with this then evolving type of combat operations in the political arena. It saw the emergence of civil guardian angels' columns, which turned out to be anything but. They held the bridges in the manner of Horatio, and defended the passes. Citizens should not have forgotten the volume of bullets and bodies – or mysteries and continuing fallout. The truth is that the politics of confrontation has become more professionalized and militarized through the use of underground proxies. Now, there is the awesome and overwhelming potential – given demonstrated firepower and displayed arsenal – for widespread injury.
Next, and with the foregoing as contexts, consider that if a coordinated series of assaults all occurred at the same time, how besieged – if not ineffectual – the responsible and answering agencies would be. Further, given the narrow confines of the administrative cum commercial cum residential centre, this can be an unprecedented disaster, particularly with the profusion of enemies and the concentration of objectives. Add the vulnerabilities of the countryside, along with the foot-dragging alacrity of public defenders, and the grimness grows.
So when the Minister of Home Affairs says that crime does not rise to the level of a national security concern, this can be received in several ways. He is publicly optimistic for the records, possesses a misplaced bravado, or has supreme confidence in the defensive and deterrence capabilities of the phantasmagorical. The minister's confidence that the security forces "are all up to speed to deal with any threat to the stability of the state" lacks validity when the landscape is reviewed. His confidence must be taken with lots of salt – mainly, the Epsom variety. For when executions, drug crimes, high profile arson, gang activity, and weapons count are reconciled with standing official security expertise, resolve, and results, the ground on which he treads crumbles. With the outsourcing of intimidation and violence well entrenched, and the willingness in all quarters to utilize, this nation stares at a bleak future.
The raw fact is that any business can be taken care of at any time, and in any manner on behalf of any sponsors. The police will surely investigate. Just as surely, they will continue to investigate. In a flood of activity, they could be inundated and reduced to further impotence. This is a naked actuality not lost on anyone, especially the planning and calculating, be they obscured field marshals or visible field generals.
Additionally, it is now a world of Improvised Explosive Devices locally known as 'channa bombs,' tinted AT 192s, and AK-47s. There is little that guarantees order and sanity; the examples cited support this. There are no hallowed democratic traditions, only a hoped for restraint, understanding, patience, and goodwill forming flimsy tendrils that hold society. There is also the suspect confidence of a comforting politician either out of his depth, or out of sorts.
Sixth, the outsourcing of operations has made certain postures possible. There is the comfort and insulation of safe official distance. It is sometimes also called plausible deniability, as in no fingerprints, no bloody hands, and that worn-out local political favourite: produce the evidence. But no matter how much safe, non-incriminating distance is created, what now lies dormant threatens to inflict all with unseen viciousness; the portents, means, and motivations are all there. Robert E. Lee once said that it is good that war is so terrible, if not man would grow to love it. Guyanese may not yet love it, but Lusignan and Bartica and Lindo Creek and Agricola-mini-wars by themselves – show that some of them are developing the stomach for it.
In the interim, the mercenaries are themselves watching. More accurately, the masters are; monitoring their own interests, political smoke signals, and any climate changes. For now, they are content to play the role of powers behind the throne, and subscribe to beliefs that the dog wags the tail. But they know different for they have the wherewithal to enforce their wishes, and influence outcomes.
Last, as alignments ebb and flow, as power beckons and evades a fateful clash might loom. It is one complete with tools, resources, characters, and circumstances at the ready; and too many guns, too many soldiers, and too much camouflage. It menaces an already withered society. It promises national insecurity.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0374251401, Hardcover)
A masterful new collection by one of our most important contemporary lyric poets
Wind as a face gone red with blowing,
oceans whose end is broken stitchery--
swim of sea-dragon, dolphin,
shimmer-and-coil, invitation. . . . You Know
the kind of map I mean. Countries as
distant as they are believable . . .
--from "Halo"
Carl Phillips lyric explorations of longing and devotion, castigation and mercy, are unrivaled in contemporary poetry.
Here, in his sixth book, Phillips visits those spaces, both physical and psychological, where risk and safety coincide, and considers what it might mean to live at the nexus of the two. Sifting among the upturned evidence of crisis, from Roman Empire to westward expansion, from the turn of a lover's face to the harbor of the book's title--a place of calm fashioned of the very rock that can mean disaster--these poems negotiate and map out the impulse toward rescue and away from it. Phillips's pooling, cascading lines are the unsuppressed routes across his unique poetic landscape, daring and seductive in their readiness to drift and reverse as the terrain demands.

Victor Victrola is the 7th episode of the first season and the 7th overall.
Have you heard, Upper East Siders? Burlesque is all the rage again and sometimes a little raging is exactly what you need. And as always, Chuck's aiming to be ahead of the curve. But let's not get ahead of ourselves...
-Gossip Girl
After surviving the on-again/off-again nature of their new relationship, Serena and Dan finally acknowledge they are crazy about each other, despite their polar opposite worlds that constantly threaten to pull them apart.Chuck contemplates investing in a burlesque club in the hopes of making his hard-to-please father, Bart , proud of him. Nate confronts his father, Captain, about the drugs he found in the house, but his father denies having a problem.Jenny discovers a secret her father, Rufus, and mother, Alison, have been keeping from her. Finally, Blair is once again devastated by Nate's actions after Jenny reveals that Nate kissed her by accident thinking she was Serena.
Speaking of Bart Bass. He tells Lily that he wants to go public about their relationship, but Lily wants to tell her kids first. Chuck walks on them. Bart tells him to keep the secret from Serena and everyone else. Chuck changes the subject by bringing up his investment idea, and Bart is immediately pleased that Chuck is showing interest in something other than partying. Chuck is like a little boy, basking in the glow of his unaccustomed paternal approval.
Nate's parents make him check into drug rehab joints. Dartmouth dad says he'll make sure that Nate won't let him go to the center, and promises to flush his baggie of coke. We all know that this isn't going to happen. Dartmouth dad offers to talk about it with him over non-alcoholic drinks after school. At school, Nate finds Jenny to ask her not to tell Blair about what he said at the masked ball because he didn't really mean it anyway. He gives her a box of chocolates that he promptly gives to Blair when she shows up. Blair outs Jenny for being at the ball and tells her that she hates secrets.

Memorable Quotes
Chuck( about Bart): He was born poor. I was born loaded. But if the only way to impress him is that I started with nothing, why doesn't he just take it all away?
Lily: Because he loves you. No good parent likes to see his child go without.
Chuck: I had the idea. I did the work. He tells me I can't be committed, and he's the one screwing a 25-year-old when he is supposed to be committed to you!
Bart (to Chuck): I came down here because I saw the effort you made. Do you want to impress me with your commitment on something? Try get a few A's at school ,and maybe a part time job.
Rufus: The new art piece projects up to the ceiling.
Lily: Oh, still doing anything to get a girl on her back, huh?
Eleanor: You need to look elegant for the Archibald dinner tomorrow night, so what do you think?
Blair: Yes, it would be very nice, if I was sailing up on the Mayflower.
Dan: I know it may not compare to a suite at the Ritz in Paris or a chalet in Aspen, and it might be a fire hazard, but...
Serena: It's perfect.
Blair: I saw your father get arrested. Why didn't you come to me? I would have listened.
Nate: I tried, Blair. But every time I tried, something has got your attention; a dinner party, you know, a masked ball.
Blair: Yeah, let's talk about that masked ball. Let's talk about how I was waiting for you to find me so that we can finally be together, you were confessing your feelings and kissing Serena. I thought I was doing everything right.
Nate: It's not your fault.
Blair: Do you love me? You should deal with your father. He needs you. You know what? I don't.
Blair (to Jenny): Game recognizes game, Little J. But you have to show more respect. This is the last time I've helped you. Next time you cross me, I won't be as forgiving.
Gossip Girl: Spotted -Bass drunk off his ass; at the Palace bar drinking away his woes and his investment capital.
Dan: Sex is meaningful, like art. And you don't rush art
Blair: So, I heard on Gossip Girl that you were having sex with Dan out here,in streaming video.
Serena: Oh,God. Kati and Is filmed us?
Blair: Well, it's all very high school musical scandalous. And no, they haven't streamed it yet. But, I heard it was aggressive.
Gossip Girl: Jenny Humphrey's rise to the penthouse has been short and sweet. But if she crosses Blair Waldorf, it's straight back to the basement.
Serena (to Dan): You know, you'd think that with all the money that we spend on this private school, they could at least give us a comfortable spot to make out.
Blair: You want your dad to invest in a strip joint. How midtown.
Chuck: A burlesque club. A respectable place where people can be transported to another time, feel free to let loose. No judgments, pure escape. What happens at Victrola, stays at Victrola.
Blair: Well, it does have franchise potential. Chuck Bass, I do believe that all your years of underage boozing and womanising have finally paid off. Truly, I am proud

UFC Fight Night 9 - Rumored and Confirmed Fights
UFC Fight Night 9 - April 5, 2007 on Spike at 8:00 PM est
- Kenny Florian vs. Dokonjonosuke Mishima
- Luke Cummo vs. Josh Haynes
- Wilson Gouveia vs. Hector Ramirez
- Josh Koscheck vs. TBA
- Kendal Grove vs. TBA
I hope Mishima learned something from last fight. I don't wanna see KenFlo beat anyone.
Cummo should beat Haynes but that is gonna be a bloody war.
I wish Hector was still fighting Petruzelli, Gouveia just doesn't interest me too much.
Wonder who they'll give to Kos and Grove?
I have a feeling Luke will KO Haynes, the past few Cummo fights he's faced guys that want to get him on the ground, Haynes will most likely want to stand up and his stretch armstrong ass is going to get clipped.
I can't see "KenFlo" pulling out a win over Mishima, I'm not taking anything away from Joe Stevenson...but that was just an embaressing loss, can't see him losing 2 in a row, I can see him submiting Florian quite early in this bout.
I despise Grove so hopefully they keep feeding him cans until he fights an opponent worthy of taking him down and beating his lanky ass and sending him away once and for all...him and his unfair height advantage towards middleweight fighters.
Koscheck on the card keeps my interest as well, he's had some exciting fights and has well exceeded to a MMA fighter rather than pure wrestler...this has been shown ever since his fight with Leben. He has the tools to become a great fighter.
I despise Grove so hopefully they keep feeding him cans until he fights an opponent worthy of taking him down and beating his lanky ass and sending him away once and for all...him and his unfair height advantage towards middleweight fighters.QUOTE]
His unfair height advantage? How is that unfair? They fight in weight classes not height classes. He loses so much strength to the other MW being that tall, he is built like a bean pole. That is the MOST RETARTED comment ever. Unfair advantage my ass. Just like Sean Sherk has an unfair advantage because he has no neck. And what's really unfair is when your fighting Wandy and if your lucky enough to get his back. His tattoo on the back of his head will scare you away. Totally unfair....
Unfair height advantage? Lol, ooookay. What the **** is he supposed to do? The guy doesn't have any meat on his bones, he wouldn't be fighting at 205.
Now, with Florian being a BJJ black belt and Stevenson..not, what makes you think Florian couldn't submit Mishima easier than Stevenson did? Sure, it was an embarassing loss and it could've happened to anyone, but it happened and it could happen again. I'm pulling for Florian, I like him.
I hate when people say Grove is too tall. He makes weight get over it!! I'm curious to see who Kos will be fighting. Since it isnt at a ppv it will probably be some b-level fighter that he will slam around.:thumbsdown:
Guys I'm pretty sure Alex was making fun of me for making that thread a while back. I said it was unfair cuz of the way he struggles to cut down to 185. He has a greuling weight loss workout that he does before he even starts training. If he would drop the weight loss workout, he would EASILY make weight in the 205 lb division. I'm saying it's unfair cuz it's not like he can't fight in the 205 division, it's cuz he's obviously afraid to. But that's not to say he's the only one to do it, he just goes through A LOT of work to get down to 185, and I doubt he weighs 185 when he actually fights. Do you realize how crazy it is to have a guy who is 6'6" and only weighs 185 and fights? That's really hard to do, and I know that because I've seen his weight loss regiment. But yea he was just making fun of me for making that thread ease up.
Ease up? EASE up?!
Lol, just kidding. My bad if that was his intention.
lol I was just letting you all know. If you wanna talk about that subject the thread is still buried down somewhere just search "Grove, unfair". But let's talk about UFN9 it looks to be decent thus far. Depending on who Grove faces will make or break my opinion about him. I need to see him fight someone with enough skills required to challenge a TUF winner.

Trust drops Walters from stand
THE wife of cricket great Doug Walters has revealed the couple's children are upset by the Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust's (SCGT) refusal to consider naming a new grandstand after their dad.
On Thursday, the SCGT announced the stand, built where the smaller Doug Walters Stand once stood, would be named after Victor Trumper, who died in 1915.
Caroline Walters yesterday said the family was given no reason for her husband's name being disregarded. Several SCGT members were so annoyed at the omission of Walters' name they declined to vote on the stand-naming ballot.
Mrs Walters said her husband would not express disappointment publicly. However, their children, Brynley, Lynton, Hannah and Mitchell were upset by the outcome.
"It was a huge honour when his name was on the stand in the first place. He was proud and our kids were very proud. It's our kids who are probably the most upset about the change," she said.
Mrs Walters said her husband had received a letter advising the stand with his name on it would be demolished.
"That's all there was," she said. "It was something that we just put somewhere, one of those things you read and think 'Oh well, that's life.'
SCGT member Harry Solomons campaigned for Walters's name to be considered for the new stand.
"I have nothing against Victor Trumper, or any of the other candidates. But Dougie was there in the first place by popular choice and public demand. He's a people's man," Mr Solomons said.
SCGT chairman Rodney Cavalier said candidates had to have been included in the NSW team of the century, which Walters was not.
A room in the new stand would be named after Walters.Source: The Sun-Herald

When is E Main St going to be improved?
Posted in the Gahanna Forum
#1 Apr 30, 2013
The local news is going bonkers over "Livingston Ave is getting improved" and this and that. But what about Main? Main is just as bad as Livingston is- with thugs shooting at each other for no reason. Any improvements scheduled for East Main Street? I wouldn't mind columbus tearing down all of the mom and pop stores and thug hangout areas there and convert all of them into walmarts, krogers, gamestops and best buys. I want East Main in the future to become like SR 256 in Pickerington, with all of the business, livelyhood and lesser crime.

Don't hold your breath waiting for that. They ran a helicopter repairman last election. Seems they've abandoned Columbus to Mike and his bikes.

Poor ignorant blacks equal crime, you stupid hick. How many times do you have to be told that? There's thousands of blacks in Columbus and only a small, very small percentage are street thugs.

E.Main between N. Nelson all the way to Parsons heading west will never get improvements until the LGBT people move in and the ghetto types get put out. Then and only then will the area improve financially. A little bit of that happened on. Franklin ave. around. Franklin park. There are still a few 1950&1960's blacks living there keeping their properties up.

Once Churches Chicken closes on Main and Kelton, half of that area will be deserted anyway. The. Arabs hate opening their corner stores in that area, but they have no where else to go!
The suburban whites would never support their 25% mark up prices, malt liquor, triple x tees in red, white, or black, and blunt rolling wraps. Also, they'd be shut down in the burbs for selling boot-leg DVD's and refurbished stolen iphones and ipads.
#9 Apr 30, 2013
To hear you tell it, stain. Hey, with ALL of the black law abiding, how come no one talks to the police and help with clearing the cases. Oh I know I know, "It's de terribo terribo legacy ub de slabery."
#10 Apr 30, 2013
Oh yes. The joys of black commerce. It's the best they can come up with. Call it the Camden Effect.
#11 Apr 30, 2013
Instead of complaining about E Main, just move to Pickerington.
#12 Apr 30, 2013
So then it occurs to me after I note the joys of black commerce...Why don't you 'good darkies' just invade the place with honest commerce and industrious enterprise and show the riff-raff the law of how it's done? OH I KNOW...YOU'RE WAITING FOR WHITEY TO COME AND DO IT. IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GUILT WHITEY INTO DOING IT OR GETTING A TAXPAYER FUNDED PROGRAM AND THEN GRIFT OFF OF IT! SHEEEYYITTT
#13 Apr 30, 2013
WILL NEVER GET IMPROVEMENTS UNTIL THE LGBT PEOPLE...???? Once again waiting for whitey to come riding (ha) to the rescue. What's the matter with you and your 'good darkie' types? Why is it that you are not up to the task? How much gottdammed coddling and preferences and handouts and affirmative action will it take for you people to do the gottdammed job?
#14 Apr 30, 2013
Any place that is surrounded by lazy parasites can have high prices. They can because the.lazy trash is not spending money they worked.for.but money gocernment stole from us and gave to them.

East Livingston ain't no picnic either OP. They say they'll improve Livingston but the thugs will come right back in and ruin everything. The nearby newly built Fairwood park will most likely become a major drug/prostitution area. Livingston from Alum Creek to 18th is all gang territory (research FNL, deuce-deuce and the LA chain gang). The thugs will not leave Livingston. They will mess up any improvements made and make them worse.
#16 Apr 30, 2013
Besides Main Street ain't even that bad like it used to be since the main street camera program and 2 police cameras were put up. Most of the crimes now happen on Mound St and Mcallister Avenue, away from the cameras.
#17 May 1, 2013
Hmmm. Guess ol wiseamerican is too busy waiting for some white to come along and inform him on just how to reply to my observations on 1) black commerce equals crime 2) no amount of gottdammed coddling and preferences and "afrimative" action will get his co-blacks off its ass to challenge the criminals and 3) awaiting whitey to do the heavy lifting.
Hey punk, get to Camden and give em your 'wisdom'. Ha!

Sharp minimalist design. Easy to read face. Comfortable strap.
I love this Timex piece for its ease of reading and long, comfortable strap. These are great, long-lasting watches, and come in various case sizes. I would encourage Timex to update its styling a bit. I would love to see a watch like this in a tank style--I would buy one in a heartbeat!
Very classy, for a great price!
This was a great gift for my husband he loved it.
I love the oversize look of this watch! I have fairly small wrists, but don't feel like it's overwhelming. The watch is a bit more of a bracelet style, in that it slides a couple inches up my arm when my hand is raised, but I don't have any problems with it spinning around. I purchased it in the rose gold color a couple years ago, and it still looks great- no wear or discoloration.
Great watch, it sat in my wish list for a bit husband bought it for me and I have really enjoyed wearing it. Time to purchase a replacement band, it's held up well through washes. Various bands are a nice alternative howeverthe Olive is great.
The seasons may pass us by, adding an hour, taking away an hour, but the wrist watch is steady and true. The eternal timekeeper, ticking on through it all with grace and style unmatched by trendier jewelry and accessories.

Maybe the right one is a stainless steel Nixon® with Miyota Japanese three-hand quartz movement. Perhaps it's a trusty Citizen®, leather strapped and splash resistant with Eco-Drive technology that harnesses the power of light. A chronograph watch with tachymeter function by Movado(r) is as stylish as it is functionable. For those seeking style and utility, Momentum by St. Moritz® offers more than just a pretty face. When you need rugged awareness and readability, may Columbia® and Timex® show you the way. If you prefer sport over tradition, Neff® has an array of bold styles to bring out your wild side.

New Delhi, Mar 29: The Union Cabinet today approved signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between India and Kuwait on labour, employment and manpower development, facilitating recruitment of manpower between the two countries and protecting the interests of workers.
Under the MoU, the two countries would set up a Joint Working Group to oversee the issues relating to labour and employment, Parliamentary Affairs Minister P R Dasmunsi told reporters after a cabinet meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Another salient feature of the MoU relates to prohibition on changing the terms and conditions of the contract of employment to the detriment of workers and hammering out procedures for authentication of the employment contract.
The minister said it would now be unequivocal responsibility of the employer regarding arranging work permit for the worker.
The ambit of the MoU also includes protection and welfare of the workers not covered under the labour law of Kuwait.

Just in case you're thinking…
- "I'm not planning to do a mission or service term." Come and learn anyway – you may be surprised by how many opportunities there are to serve locally or travel the world and do amazing things.
- "I'm just a first or second year student and it's too early to think about this stuff." Not true! It's never too early to begin considering options following EMU.
- "I'd rather just research opportunities online." You can learn so much more from talking with real people who have had interesting mission and service experiences themselves.

If you're looking to set up your own Bower registry, then take a look at bower-registry (GitHub: neoziro / bower-registry, License: MIT, npm: bower-registry) by Greg Bergé. This is an Express web application that stores data in Redis, but the author notes it could be easily adapted to support other databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL.
bower-registry -d redis on the command-line will start a server. Other options can be viewed by typing
bower-registry -h. The app can also be loaded as a Node module, and
require('bower-registry').Registry is the Express app instance.
Helmsman (GitHub: mattmcmanus / node-helmsman, License: MIT, npm: helmsman) by Matt McManus is an opinionated command-line application development kit. The interface style is based on Git's subcommands:
A common setup for command line applications is
<command> <subcommand> <arguments/options>(for example:
git commit -m 'message'). Rather than having a giant file that
switches or
if elses over each potential subcommand, it's much neater to store each subcommand in it's own file (
bin/command-subcommand2, etc). Doing this however introduces some annoying manual steps which
helmsmanhopes to solve.
The subcommand-style API is based on metadata exposed through
exports. If the file is run directly rather than loaded with
require, then your script should run as it would normally:
#!/usr/bin/env node
// 1. To expose the metadata simply `exports.command`
exports.command = {
description: 'Show current worker counts and their pids'
// 2. Then make sure it only runs when it's directly called:
if (require.main === module) {
// Parse options and run the magic

Lincoln Park studio
How an architect makes his 380-square-foot studio livable.
"It only feels small when I have overnight guests," Tim Zelazny says of the 380-square-foot studio apartment he rents in Lincoln Park. Zelazny, 27, a designer with an architecture firm, selected small-scale furnishings—mainly Craigslist deals and alley finds that are light enough to move around easily and versatile enough to do double duty. Zelazny punctuates the neutral envelope with pops of color and whimsical accessories, and he employs some creative usage of space, including putting his bed in the unit's nook off the kitchen (pictured, left), what he calls the "sleep-in kitchen." His best advice: "Don't be afraid of cute crap," Zelazny advises. "It's those little details that give small spaces lots of character."
Using 18" x 36" carpet remnants he found lying around his office, Zelazny created a colorful custom rug with irregular borders that connects his design for the unit to the architecture of the building, in this case the long hardwood floor beams. To keep things bright, he says he always keeps the blinds on his western-facing windows open during the day. "The sunshine helps make the space seem larger, and the shadows help bring depth and interest to the space."
In the main living area, a yellow futon Zelazny bought on Craigslist for $20 is one of the many pops of color that liven up the apartment's otherwise neutral walls. "Having different points of interest throughout the space makes it seem larger," Zelazny says. "I've styled my place in a way that energizes me, and I enjoy coming home to it."
"Because my furniture is multifunctional, I don't need to have four chairs specifically for dining," says Zelazny, who often uses his dining table as a desk. "When I have small dinner parties, I move [the table] into the middle of the room, and we all kind of congregate [there]." To emphasize the 9-foot-high ceilings, he hung his artwork, which includes a piece of framed wallpaper, in portrait rather than landscape mode.

Great Doctor!!!!!!
He is an amazing doctor. He was great with my 2 y/o son. He did his surgery. He answered all my questions. He made sure I was comfortable with everything. After his surgery he stepped out and let me know how everything went. He is great at what he does. If you or anyone you know ever have ENT problems I would highly recommend him. The staff in his office is great as well. They were all polite and very nice and helpful.

I have redness and tried five ipls. I did not see the results I had hoped for. I have some redness on each side of my cheeks. The redness did not go away where I wanted it to.
I did these in six to eight week intervals. I read where some do this in three week intervals. Maybe that is why. Can you tell me the correct procedure?
i had eight treatments at 6 to 8 wweek intervals. I had heard that they should be 3 week intervals. Which is correct? Some one also said they do a ipl and a weak later do a light peel and then 2 weeks later do another ipl and so on. What is your take on this. Thank you

I've been using the Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate icing recipe on the back of the can for the longest time as my go-to chocolate icing. Lately though, it's lost its appeal to me, and I'm ready to try something new. I'll be doing a chocolate cake this weekend that I will top with bacon, so I'm looking for something that would pair well with it. Perhaps something a little more "whipped" than the Hershey's recipe? Do you guys have anything you recommend?
I've used whipped chocolate ganache as a filling in the past, but never as an icing. I'd prefer to use something that doesn't require refrigeration if possible.
Thanks for your suggestions!!

Kelly Rowland Drops 'Feelin' Me Right Now' — Listen
Though Beyonce's '4' hit shelves last month, receiving a massive push, Kelly Rowland continues to make a case for herself as 2011's breakout R&B star, with her new song 'Feelin' Me Right Now.'
Having recently been dubbed "the most underrated female soloist in the game" by 50 Cent, the former Destiny's Child singer appears to finally be coming into her own stateside — she's always been an international favorite — with this Rico Love-produced club-love ode. a follow-up to the success of her smash single 'Motivation,' which still sits atop Billboard's R&B charts.
Rowland is at her unapologetic-best over the piano-powered track, switching up the typical "I swear I fell in love in the club tonight" song — though that is an actual line — by singing what every single lady in the VIP wants to hear, from the male perspective. "You're the only one I see, it's like no one's in the VIP but you and me," she croons, before turning it on with "Back, back, back it up, give me what I got my eye on/ Don't give me your number it's already in my iPhone."
"I'm so happy Kelly got that hit record. She's due; she's so due. She's the most underrated female soloist in the game, and it's finally time for her," 50 Cent said of Rowland's recent solo success. "This year is her year."
Rowland's third solo album 'Here I Am,' is in stores Tuesday (July 26).

Coup leader adds to his roles
BANGUI, Central African Republic — The Central African Republic's coup leader further solidified his hold on the government today after announcing that he will serve as both president and defense minister, while other top posts are going to his fellow rebels.
Michel Djotodia, who led the thousands of rebel fighters who overthrew longtime President Francois Bozize just over a week ago, made the announcement in a decree read late Sunday on state radio. Not only will Djotodia hold the defense ministry, but his allies also will control the ministries of mines, commerce, communication, and security and public order, according to a decree issued on letterhead that reads "presidency of the republic."
Opposition leader Nicolas Tiangaye remains as prime minister in the new government. Alex Vines, head of the Africa program at Chatham House, a London-based institute on international affairs, has described the coup as being about "blind ambition" despite the rebels' claims they are seeking greater assistance for their homeland in the deeply impoverished northeast. The rebel alliance that overthrew the government was called Seleka.
"All the accounts of Seleka are that they have no development vision for CAR. It's exclusively about redistribution of patrimony from having captured the state," Vines said.
"There is so little other activity — capturing the state is sort of the main source of revenue," he said.
Thousands of Djotodia's rebels are now residing in the capital, and could be seen today riding on pickup trucks that were sponge-painted brown and black in a kind of homemade camouflage with "Seleka" scrawled across the sides.
Others camped out on cots inside the state-run radio and television buildings, and some sat beside a drained swimming pool at the luxury hotel that Djotodia has transformed into his presidential palace.
Some are identifiable by the head turbans they wear, though others have taken to wearing clothes they took from the Central African army soldiers who fled in the face of the rebel advance. Djotodia, who first rose to prominence as a rebel leader back in 2006, already had served as defense minister since the formation of an ill-fated national unity government in January. That agreement had been backed by regional mediators trying to avert a crisis in the country long wracked by coups and rebellions, and was to allow Bozize to remain in office until 2016. However, the Seleka soon accused Bozize of failing to deliver on his promises and ousted him during fierce fighting that also left 13 South African soldiers dead. Bozize and his family have taken refuge in neighboring Cameroon.

But this four-ton monster truck is the British Army's new weapon designed to take on insurgents on the front lines of Iraq and Afghanistan.
British-made, the Supacat Weapons Mounted Installation Kit boasts awesome firepower which will be unleashed early next year. British and other Nato troops are being targeted by roadside bombs and daily firefights.
Scroll down for more
Infantry soldiers have complained existing Land Rovers provide insufficient protection from the bombers.
Now, the Ministry of Defence is buying 130 of the light-armoured beasts – which can reach a maximum 80mph – and will take delivery of the first early next year.
They will use a grenade machine gun which fires at up to 340 rounds per minute, usually in bursts of three to five rounds, at targets up to a mile away.
The Supacats will also employ a 7.62mm-calibre General Purpose Machine Gun, which fires 750 rounds per minute with a range of nearly a mile.
Scroll down for more
The vehicles, made at Honiton in Devon, will also have a mounted 0.5in-calibre heavy machine gun, which fires huge rounds more than a mile at a rate of 485 to 635 a minute. They are powered by a 5.9-litre turbo-diesel engine and will carry three or four crew.
One senior Army officer described the new super-truck as a "serious bit of kit", adding it would be a "huge boost to our long-range patrolling capability".
Senior defence sources say the Supacats will particularly come into their own against the Taliban in Afghanistan's Helmand Province, which has no roads.
Defence Minister Lord Drayson said last night: "These vehicles are well armed, swift and agile and will boost our capability with some serious firepower.
"The MoD and the Treasury have worked hard to get them to our troops in quick time, and they start going out to theatre early next year."
