ORDER D. Sreedevi, J.
1. Petitioner under Sections 10, 18 and 19 of the Indian Divorce Act. Petitioner Is the wife and the respondent is the husband. The petitioner is a member of the Church of South India and the respondent is a member of Syrian Jacobite Christian Community.
2. At the time of marriage, the petitioner was a practising Gynaecologist after having passed her M.B.B.S. and D.G.O. and at present she is employed at S.U.T. Hospital, Trivandrum. The respondent is an Engineer employed in Traco Cables Ltd.. a Public sector Undertaking of the Government of Kerala. Their marriage was solemnized on 29-11-1993 at Syrian Jacobite Puthen Church, Kundara as per the religious custom prevailing among the member of the Syrian Jacobite Church. It was an arranged marriage. The proposal for the marriage appeared in the matrimonial column of the Malayala Manorama, on behalf of the respondent. This was followed by negotiation among the members of the petitioner's and respondent's families and the marriage was later settled.
3. At the time of negotiation, it was represented to the petitioner that the respondent had already secured a highly paid job in Saudi Arabia, that he would take the petitioner with him to that country immediately after the marriage and that the respondent would secure for the petitioner a suitable job there. The respondent has also certain papers and documents written in arable to show that he secured a job in Saudi Arabia. The respondent and his parents also represented to the petitioner and her parents that he had to join duty in Saudi Arabia by the middle of December, 1993 and on that ground, he urged the petitioner and her parents to get the marriage solemized within the shortest possible time. It is alleged in the petition that believing the representations of the respondent and his parents the marriage was hurriedly solemnized dispensing with the usual religious practice of announcing three banns of marriage on three consecutive Sundays in the Church. The negotiation for the marriage started during the second week of November 1993 and the betrothal was fixed on 18-11-1993 and the marriage was solemnized on 29-11-1993.
4. After marriage they lived together" at the residence of the petitioner at Trivandrum for three days. During this period they spent one day at Kovalam and thereafter they lived at the residence of the respondent at Kundara. According to the petitioner, even during the first night, the respondent preferred to sleep all alone in his bed and the petitioner was directed to sleep on another bed. On the second day they spent their night at the Guest House at Kovalam. The petitioner would allege that on that day she found that the respondent was having anxiety neurosis and he was literally shivering in front of the petitioner. It was also alleged that eventhough the petitioner took initiative, the respondent did not show any inclination to consumate the marriage. Therefore, the petitioner suspected that the respondent was impotent.
5. The petitioner gradually discovered that the respondent was playing fraud on her. The story of having secured employment in Saudi Arabia and the related matters were all utter falsehood. The papers and documents shown at the time of negotiation, before marriage, were all frabricated. The petitioner's father was a senior I.A.S. Officer under the Government of Kerala. Only after the marriage she has come to know that the respondent did not have an adequate income from his employment to support his family as his two brothers were students at that time. The petitioner has agreed to marry the respondent on the specific assurance given by him that he has secured a lucrative job in Saudi Arabia. The respondent was deliberately cheating the petitioner and her parents. Therefore, she prays for a decree declaring that the marriage is a nullity on the ground that her consent was obtained by fraud. She has also prayed for a decree of divorce on the ground that the respondent has treated her with cruelty and refusing to consummate the marriage. She also alleged that the respondent had demanded Rs. 10 lakhs, viz. Rs. 5 lakhs forpayingoffhis debts and another Rs. 5 lakhs for seeking employment abroad afresh. As the money was not paid, the petitioner has alleged, that she was treated with cruelty by the respondent by abusing and insulting her.
6. She was even subjected to physical torture and as the life of the petitioner became miserable and unbearable she was forced to leave the matrimonial home on 5-12-1993 and thereafter she has been living separately along with her parents. She issued a lawyer notice on 23-6-1997 to the respondent demanding for return of the amount of Rs. 5 lakhs paid and also the ornaments. He had also threatened the petitioner with dire consequences if she does not return to his house. Therefore, the petitioner also prays for a decree of divorce on the ground of cruelty, desertion and impotency.
7. The respondent filed a counter denying the allegation of fraud, cruelty, desertion and impotency. He would contend that in the advertisement the respondent had specified both the options of the higher studies and Gulf employment by stating "doing. Computer Post Graduation", "holding Chartered Gulf employment on leave provision". In the lawyer notice dated 21 -7-1997 the petitioner sought for a decree of divorce on the ground of cruelty, desertion and impotency of the respondent and there was no allegation regarding cheating or fraud. Therefore, the allegation of fraud in the original petition is an afterthought introduced to suit the allegations in the petition. The points to be decided in this case are the following :
1. Whether the consent of the petitioner was obtained by fraud ?
2. Whether the petitioner was treated with cruelty and
3. Whether the petitioner was deserted for a period of two years and upwards ?
4. Reliefs and costs.
8. The evidence consists of the oral evidence of PWs 1 to 4 and Exts. Al to A7 on the petitioner's side and the evidence of RWsl to 4 and Exts. Bl to B2 on the respondent's side. At the time of hearing. Dr. Sebastian Champappilly, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that he does not press for allegation regarding impotency and his prayer is only for a decree on the ground of fraud, cruelty and desertion. Points 1 to 3 can be discussed together.
9. Admittedly, the marriage proposal appeared in the matrimonial column in MalayalaManorama dated 3-10-1993, which is marked as Exhibit Al. the advertisement reads as follows :
"Jacobite, well built, Kerala Government Engineer, 30/163, doing Computer Post Graduation, holding Chartered Gulf Empoloyment on leave provision prefers MBBS (background immaterial) employed Professionals/Gulf cases. Thomas Madathiparambll, Thiruvalla - 689103".
Accordingly to the petitioner, pursuant to the advertisement, her father replied and thereafter the respondent and his parents came to the petitioner's residence and told her father that he is an Engineer working in Traco Cables, that he has secured ajob as an Engineer in Riyadh Cables in Saudi Arabia and is about to join there and the petitioner also would get an appointment there as Gynaecologist. Exhibit Bl is the reply dated 11-10-1993, wherein the respondent's father states :-
"Roy, has successfully completed 1 year training and 1 year probation in Trace Cables, Thiruvalla on 15 May 93, as Engineer (Production). Being permanent now, he is eligible for Higher Studies/Employment Abroad/Deputation to any Govt. Firm, maintaining the lean. He has channelised an Overseas Employment, since long leave for Employment Abroad is permitted by the Company.
In RIYAD CABLES (a Jelly Filled Telephone Cable Project) Saudi Arabia as PRODUCTION PLANNING ENGINEER for 4500 Riyals he has submitted his documents. His joining date being expected on December'93'."
On the basis of the above data, the petitioner and her parents decided to go ahead with the proposal and the engagement was celebrated on 18-11-1983. Admittedly the respondent was asked his willingness to go for a training in Spain. He would contend that after training in Spain, two senior Engineers employed inTraco Cables got overseas employment The petitioner as PW-1 states that the respondent and his people represented to her that he has secured an employment in gulf. It is submitted by the counsel for the petitioner that the respondent is the only earning member of his family and the income for the livelihood of the respondent's family is the income of the respondent. His father being a retired teacher, he had to meet the educational expenses of the respondent's two brothers. So attracted by the statement that he has secured an employment in gulf, petitioner's parents decided to settle the marriage. The petitioner states that after due enquiry, her father came to know that the respondent has only a temporary job in the Traco Cables Ltd. He has secured a No Objection Certificate for M.B.A. course at T.K.M. Engineering College, Kollam. the engagement was celebrated one and a half months after the letter dated 4-11-1993. In the reply Ext. Bl, the respondent's father has stated that he is working as an Engineer in the Traco Cables. Therefore, the statement that he was a Government Engineer cannot be said to have been made with intent to defraud the petitioner. The petitioner could have ascertained whether the respondent was a Kerala Government Engineer or not. Regarding the allegation that he is doing Computer Post Graduation also she could have collected the details especially when her father was working as a senior I.A.S. Officer under the State of Kerala..
10. The next question is whether the respondent is holding a chartered gulf employment. The respondent as RW-1 stated that he has disclosed all his educational qualifications and job to the petitioner and her parents. Exhibit B5 is the letter issued by the General Manager of Traco Cables asking his willingness to undergo training in Spain on condition to serve the Company for five years after training. This would go to show that there was a proposal to send Engineers of Traco Cable Ltd., including the petitioner, for training abroad. According to him, it is a stepping stone for seeking employment abroad. He has also stated that if he gets an order for training in Spain, that will be a preference for getting employment in Saudi Arabia as Production Planning Engineer. He would also state that two senior Engineers In his Company have already obtained Job in Saudi Arabia. Even Diploma holders were sent abroad. Regarding his experience, he states that he had worked in the Kerala Water Authority and in Industial Training Department at Kollam as Guest Lecturer and he was asked to join Saudi Arabia by one of his friends Najee, who is now working there and so he had a fair chance to go abroad. Exhibit B6 is the No Objection Certificate for joining the M.B.A. course. So, the statement that he was selected for M.B.A. cannot be said to be an incorrect statement. Exhibit B7 is the Admission Card for M.B.A. Entrance Test. He was selected and completed two Semesters and paid fee for the 3rd Semester also, for which he had produced Exhibit B8 pay-in-slip. The respondent as RW-1 has deposed that with the consent of his father-in-law he went for the M.B.A. entrance test.
11. PW-2, the father of the petitioner, deposed that the respondent insisted that the marriage should be performed immediately in November itself on the allegation that he is likely to lose his job in Saudi Arabia if there is delay in joining duty and hence he was forced to apply for exemption from three banns on three consecutive Sundays. After getting licence from the Church, the marriage was solemnized. PW-3 is the Parish Priest, who proved Ext. A7 letter issued by Rev. Dr. T.M. John. It was a letter of recommendation to issue licence to pertorm the marriage without three banns on three consecutive Sundays. PW-3 has stated that the request came from the father of the petitioner. From the evidence of PWs.2 and 3, I can very well conclude that there was a request for solemnization of marriage without any delay and that too, exempting the three banns.
12. In order to prove fraud on the part of the respondent, Dr. Sebastian Champappilly, counsel for the petitioner, submitted that eventhough the advertisement was given with his address as "Thomas Madathiparambil, Thiruvalla", the address of the respondent's father was given in Ext. Bl on Il-10rl993as"C.I.ThomasTharakan, Tomland, HospitalJunction, Kundara."The respondent has stated that Thomas Madathiparambil is the owner of Engineers Quarters to whom he is paying rent ; The respondent has confessed that he does not know whether a person by name Thomas Madathiparambil really exists or not. According to the petitioner, the respondent adopted this mode of concealment of real identity as people who knows him would understand that he has issued a false matrimonial advertisement.
13. Simply because the advertisement was given with a different address it cannot be said to be a fraud because in response to the advertisement when the petitioner's father sent a letter, the respondent's father gave a detailed reply, wherein his address has been correctly noted. Therefore, a false address given in the advertisement cannot be said to be a fraudulent act.
14. Another argument advanced is that the respondent has represented to the petitioner that he was drawing a salary of Rs. 6.000/- per mensem. PW-4 is the Chairman and Managing Director. Traco Cables, who has deposed that the respondent joined the company as Assistant Engineer and was confirmed after one year in the regular service with one year probation. His pay was Rs. 3,618/- per mensem. RW-4 is the Manager (Personnel & Administration) of the company. He proved Exhibit B12. He has also deposed that he was entitled to certain perquisites in addition to salary and that the total salary including perquisites comes to Rs, 6,000/- per mensem. Therefore, the statement that he was getting Rs. 6.000/-
p.m. cannot be said to be a false statement.
15. Admittedly the respondent is a Graduate Engineer. Regarding his qualification and salary there was no misrepresentation. Another representation he made to the petitioner is that he has chartered for gulf employment. The dictionary meaning of the word 'chartered is a written document delivered by the sovereign legislature granting privileges to or recognizing rights of the people or of certain class or individual. From this what one can underatand is that he has secured an employment. But, In Ext. Bl reply the respondent's father has clearly noted his educational qualification and employment, wherein what he has stated is that he has channellised an overseas employment. The word 'channellised1 can only mean channelled. Therefore, the statement that the respondent has told the petitioner that he has secured an employment in Riyad Cables cannot be correct. The Respondent as RW1 has deposed that he was planning to go abroad, that he was asked to express his willingness to go training in Spain and that if he was sent for training, that will be a stepping stone for an employment abroad. The respondent also deposed that Traco Cables has technical collaboratation with a company in U.S.A. and as they purchased machinery from West Germany, Spain and France the company has a contract with Spain to engage Engineers in Traco Cables to Spain and accordingly his willingness was asked by the General Manager as seen in Ext. B5. The statement that two senior Engineers and also a Diploma holder have gone abroad also gave him a hope that he can also get a job. Therefore, if at all the respondent has made any statement that he is expecting to go abroad it cannot be said to be a fraudulent statement. The statement that two senior Engineers of his company have obtained foreign employment is not challenged by the petitioner. Therefore, the statement of the respondent that he had chanellised for Gulf employment cannot be said to be a fraudulent representation.
16. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that eventhough he has raised impotency, desertion and cruelty for a declaration that the marriage is a nullity, he has limited relief to declaration of nullity of marriage on the ground of fraud and in case there Is no fraud, he prays for a decree of divorce on the ground that the petitioner was treated with cruelty by her husband and that there was constructive desertion on his part.
17. The petitioner as PW1 has deposed that the respondent subjected her to torture, both physically and mentally. She states that the respondent demanded Rupees Ten Lakhs from her. i.e. Rupees Five Lakhs for paying off his debts and Rupees Five Lakhs for seeking fresh employment abroad. She testified that as the amount was not paid, she was put to physical and mental torture and her life was made miserable in the house of the respondent. It is also stated by her that on 4-12-1993 he picked up quarrel with her and so she wanted to inform her parents. Then the respondent caught hold of her and twisted her hand causing severe pain and thus she could not inform her parents about the ill-treatment of the respondent, She states that her mother-in-law has opined that she should hang herself. According to her, as her life in the matrimonial home was made miserable, she was forced to leave the house and,accordingly, she left the house on 5-12-1993. The respondent denied all the above statements regarding cruelty.
18. The respondent In his counter has stated that the petitioner was abnormal and she has some mental illness. He has stated that at the time of marriage, the petitioner was in an irritative mood and she was resisting the photopraphers and videographers from taking the photographs of the petitioner. He doubted the mental condition of the petitioner when two lady doctors, who were present at the time of marriage, had told him that the petitioner is innocent. According to him, on hearing this, he came to know that she has some mental disorder. He has also stated that the two lady doctors came to his room along with the petitioner at the late hours of night and informed him that the petitioner Is not well and hence to pardon her and.therefore, the petitioner separated his bed from that of her at the instance of her parents and this continued for three days. It is also contended by the respondent that the petitioner was not willing to consummate the marriage. He states that he has seen the petitioner taking medicines at night and after taking medicine, she used to fall asleep avoiding his company. He has also stated that the behaviour of the petitioner caused a suspicion in his mind that the petitioner has some psychic problem and he, within, a few days after marriage, enquired about her pre-marital life and came to know that she had a love affair while she was undergoing her M.D. Course at JIPMER and that he had cheated her. He had also raised an allegation that the petitioner's father is facing vigilance enquiry regarding misappropriation of money. According to him the petitioner lived with him till 14-1-1995. To prove this he relies on an application for telephone connection signed by her on the 26th December, 1993. He has examined RW3 senior Manager. He has deposed that the petitioner's father met him 3 or 4 months after the marriage in the factory and asked him to arrange a shift duty in such a way as to enable the respondent to join M.B.A. course. Relying on this it is submitted that the allegation that she left the house in 1993 itself is wrong.
19. According to the respondent, the marriage was consummated on the fourth day of the marriage. He states that at the time of sexual intercourse the petitioner was in semi-conscious mood as she was consuming medicine. The petitioner would allege that because of the abnormal behaviour of the respondent the marriage could not be consummated. Even if it is admitted that there was an imperfect and partial intercourse, It cannot amount to consummation. The petitioner's definite allegation is that the respondent was suffering from some kind of neurosis and hence the marriage could not be consummated. The respondent has produced a certificate. Exhibit B9, to show that he Is sexually fit. Further, the respondent refused to undergo medical examination. The certificate produced by him does not show that he is potent. It only shows that there is no clinical evidence to suggest that he is impotent. It further states that it is being investigated. He may be potent, but, according to the petitioner, he is impotent. The doctor has deposed that he has advised further investigation, for which the respondent has not turned up. Dr. Sebastian Champappilly submitted that the respondent refused to undergo medical examination and so It has to be found that he has avoided the examination and, therefore, Court can draw an adverse inference. So, if there was no consummation of marriage, that will amount to cruelty. To prove that there was no consummation of marriage, the petitioner has produced a certificate issued by Dr. Lalitha, Gynaecologist. This certificate shows that she is still a virgin. The statement that she is a virgin is not denied by the respondent. The Medical Officer who issued the certificate was not examined.
20. In the counter filed by the respondent, he has alleged that the petitioner is suffering from mental illness. As RW-1, he has deposed that she has some mental problem. He casts aspersions on the mental condition of the petitioner. Admittedly the petitioner is working as the Gynascologlst in the Uthradam Tirunal Hopital at Thiruvananthapuram. The respondent also depicted the petitioner as a person taking medicines every day during night. He has also alleged pre-marital love affair against the petitioner. To prove that she is suffering from mental disorder and that she has a love affair, no evidence has been let in by the respondent.
21. The respondent has also stated that the petitioner's father is facing a Vigilance enquiry. But, he could not produce any evidence to prove the same. Another allegation raised against her is that her brother tried to commit suicide. That was also denied by the petitioner and to prove this, the respondent has not produced any evidence. In spite of the mental illness, previous love affair and drug addiction, the respondent wants to live with her. This also appears to be strange. The respondent has made false and scandalous statements against her mental condition. In Gangadharan v. T.K. Thankam, AIR 1988 Kerala 244, this Court held that false, scandalous, malicious, baseless and unproved allegations made by one spouse, whether by letters or written statement or by any other mode, amounts to cruelty. It reads as follows : (Para 19) "Cruelty should be of such a nature as to satisfy the conscience of the court that the relationship between the parties had deteriorated to such an extent that it would be impossible for them to live together without mental agony, torture or distress to entitle the party to secure divorce. Physical violence is not absolutely essential to constitute cruelty and a consistent course of conduct inflicting immeasurable mental agony and torture may well constitute cruelty within the meaning of the Act. Mental cruelty may consist of verbal abuses and insults by using filthy and abusive language leading to constant disturbance of mental peace of the other party."
The same view was affirmed by the Supreme court in V. Bhagat v. D. Bhagat, AIR 1994 SC 710. The Court held as follows : (Para 17) "Mental cruelty in Section 13(1) (ia) can broadly be defined as that conduct which inflicts upon the other party such mental pain and suffering as would make it not possible for that party to live with the other. In other words, mental cruelty must be of such a nature that the parties cannot reasonably be expected to live together. The situation must be such that the wronged party cannot reasonably be asked to put up with such conduct and continue to live with the other party."
The Delhi High Court in Savitri v. Mulchand, AIR 1987 Delhi 52, held that if false allegations are made in the written statement, that would amount to cruelty, as the Court has power to take into consideration of subsequent events. Irresponsible insinuations and allegations which were made during the course of litigation against the husband or wife and his or her family could not be brushed aside as held in Pushpa Rani v. Krishna Lal, AIR 1982 Delhi 107, and Parihar v. Parihar, AIR 1978 Rajasthan 140. The Delhi High Court in Ashok Sharma v. Santosh Sharma, AIR 1987 Delhi 63, reiterated the very same view expressed in the above decisions. A Full Bench of this Court in Princy v. Varkey, (2000) 1 Ker LT 756, held that inflicting mental agony is also cruelty.
22. Admittedly, the allegations of cruelty are not made in the counter. The respondent as RW1 has deposed about the said allegations for which he could not adduce any evidence. It is open to the Court to take into consideration events which had taken place subsequent to the filing of the petition. To prove cruelty there is only the interested testimony of the petitioner and her father. But the contentions in the counter that she is suffering from mental disorder, that she is impotent and that she is consuming drugs and that she had a previous love affair are not supported by any evidence. What he has deposed is this. "Eventhough she was a psychiatric patient I reposed confidence on her". Therefore, the said allegations are baseless. Such allegations amount to cruelty. In order to subserve the interest of justice and to avoid multiplicity of another round of litigation and allow the precious period of their life to go waste, the Court can take note of subsequent events and grant reliefs In matrimonial matters. Therefore, eventhough there is no evidence of physical assault, the malicious and false allegations made against the petitioner amounts to mental cruelty. On going through the pleadings and evidence in this case, I can find that the relationship between the parties had deteriorated to such an extent that it would be Impossible to live together without mental agony, as he himself admits that as his relationship with the petitioner got strained, 3rd marriage anniversary was not celebrated. He also admits that from 1993 to 1998 as his relationship with the petitioner was strained, he did not join M.B.A. Therefore, in order to subserve the interest of justice as the respondent has treated the petitioner with cruelty, she is entitled to get a decree of divorce.
23. It is also submitted by the counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner was forced to leave the matrimonial home because of the cruel behaviour of the respondent and his parents. To prove that there was desertion on the part of the petitioner eventhough there is no concrete evidence to prove the same, from the circumstances prevailed upon the parties it can be seen that there is constructive desertion in view of the cruelty mentioned above.
In the result, the Original Petition is allowed and the marriage between the petitioner and the respondent which was solemnized on 29-11-1993 at Syrian Jacobite Puthen Church, Kundara is dissolved by a decree nisi.

I was very impressed with this hotel. It was more than expected: very clean, nicely appointed, good free breakfast, and a good location. There was even a digital safe that fit laptops. I'd definitely go back. As everywhere in Cambodia, there is the constant tuktuk and tour guide pressure. Just be ready to say no quite a bit to the travel office (part of the hotel) if you're more of a DIY traveller.
situated just nicely out of town but within easy reach of everything. staff were friendly. rooms were very clean but could do with a lick of paint, no hot water despite paying for a room with hot water.
We stayed at Home Sweet Home for 3 nights and had a great time.Room was large and clean with good aircon.They arranged a good three day Tuk Tuk tour of all the main temples as well as a free airport pickup,sunset trip to the temple and a drop off at the bus station on leaving!Also got invited to a party at the hotel with all the staff and friends.This made us feel really welcome and was a interesting insight to Cambodian family life.Would recommend this hotel to anyone.
Very helpfull personnel, good location, free internet. Sat TV noisy in the early morning, need some upgrade in water infrastructure.
Do you like restaurant and cocktails, as well as clean room and price. Did not like that when leaving a score, including previously paid for cocktails and food.
Very friendly staff (a bit too much sometimes), very big room, nice included breakfast, room cleaned every day, Tv with internation channels, Good AC Not exaclty in the center (10min by walk), strange disturbing smell in the bathroom (probably chemical product), ventilation very noisy in the bathroom, no safety box

SAN DIEGO -- De'Jon Jackson first set foot on the University of San Diego campus as a freshman in the fall of 2006, but he had made his initial mark on San Diego-area basketball six months earlier.
In March 2006, Jackson and his Clovis West High squad hosted La Costa Canyon and its McDonald's All-American, Chase Budinger, in a CIF Southern California Regional Division I semifinal game.
"He hit a 3 to start the game," Jackson said of Budinger. "Then he hit another 3, made a steal and a dunk. We thought, 'How are we going to handle this guy?' "
Budinger finished with 35 points, but he was the only LCC player in double figures. Meanwhile, Jackson scored 32 points, receiving more support from his teammates, and Clovis West won 76-64 to end the high school career of a budding San Diego legend.
"Everybody around San Diego knows Chase," Jackson said. "If I mention it around here, people know that was a good accomplishment."
Jackson isn't the scorer he was in high school, but the Toreros'6-foot-1, 202-pound sophomore guard is still making play afterplay.
He helped USD advance to the NCAA tournament with an upset of20th-ranked Gonzaga in the final of the West Coast Conferencetournament on March 10.
"He does things that never show up in the stats," USD coach Bill Grier said. "He helps out on defense to make a guy throw the ball out of bounds, he gets a deflection that leads to someone else making a steal, or he gets a hand on a ball to stop someone from making a play.
"I've told him he's the heart and soul of this club. He's the kind of kid any coach would love to have on his team."
Jackson plays the game with respect for others because that's how his mother, Jackie Hall, raised him. Same with his godfather, Clarence Jackson.
"My mom taught me to respect everyone and listen to my coaches," Jackson said. "My godfather was a guy who made you say 'yes,' or you did pushups. You didn't say 'OK' or 'uh-huh' around him."
Another Jackson trademark: You can't tell if things are going good or bad for the Toreros by his expression.
"Sometimes I have to double-check to see if he has a pulse," Grier said.
Jackson says his demeanor comes from two older brothers. TyroneJackson played at Arizona State, while James Jackson was recruitedby Air Force, although he never played for the Falcons beforeleaving the academy.
"They always told me, 'Don't panic,' " Jackson said. "When it's clutch time, 'think Michael Jordan.' Now it's 'think Kobe Bryant.' "
Jackson averages only 7.7 points, but his career high of 24 came in the Toreros' WCC tournament quarterfinal win over Pepperdine.
He pulls down 3.4 rebounds a game in a three-guard offense that forces him to defend taller forwards. But one of Jackson's rebounds against Saint Mary's in the WCC semifinals was a tip-in basket in traffic; it came during an 8-3 run that keyed the Toreros' second-half comeback win.
In 32 games this season, Jackson hit only 17-of-46 3-point field goals (.370), but one came at a key point in the Toreros' upset of Gonzaga. USD's leading scorer, Brandon Johnson, was on the bench when Jackson hit a 3-pointer from near NBA range to keep alive a second-half 14-2 run that eventually gave USD the lead.
"He can conceptualize everything on the floor so well," Grier said. "He understands why we're running stuff, what we're looking for from him and from the other guys. He accepts coaching."
Jackson also demands that others accept coaching as well, something crucial to the team's success in Grier's first season.
The Toreros were inconsistent and slow to apply what Grier was teaching during the nonconference schedule. If anyone balked at the changes, though, they heard about it from Jackson.
Johnson and El Camino High alumnus Gyno Pomare are the Toreros' All-WCC representatives and leading scorers, but Johnson says Jackson is the real leader of the team.
"He's always asking good questions in practice," Johnson said. "Gyno and I can be up and down sometimes, but he always gets us back on track. He's a little brother because he's younger, but I see him as a big brother, too."
That's why Grier calls Jackson "the glue that holds together" USD's first NCAA team since 2003. And it proves why you don't have to be a great player to be a special player.

The administration of a St. Louis Park, Minn., Catholic prep school removed from the school's online newspaper an editorial about the Minnesota Catholic bishops' DVD education campaign on same-sex marriage and an opinion piece by a gay student because online comments about the articles created a "disrespectful environment" and "confusion about the teachings of the Catholic church," the school's president, Bob Tift, said in a statement.
The editorial and opinion piece accompanied a news article about the DVD campaign. All three articles appeared online and in the Nov. 11 print edition of Benilde-St. Margaret's Knight Errant. The news article remains online, but the other pieces were removed Nov. 13.
The editorial objected to the DVD campaign, which the Minnesota bishops released shortly before the November midterm elections. The 18-minute DVD was mailed to about 400,000 Minnesota Catholics and featured Archbishop John Nienstedt of St. Paul and Minneapolis explaining church teaching on same-sex marriage.
The editorial did not challenge church teaching on gay marriage, but it said, "The DVD many of our families received is inappropriate due to the civil nature of the issue, and the content is nothing more than simple, emotional propaganda."
The opinion piece, written by openly gay student Sean Simonson, depicted the struggles experienced by a gay person in today's world.
The pieces caused a flurry of commenting on the Web site, much of it heated. The opinion piece had generated 93 comments, mostly supportive of the student, before being pulled.
"It's a good thing [that the articles were removed] because of all the tension being built up -- it's good to take off mean comments," Benilde-St. Margaret's sophomore Jarred Oftedahl told NCR.
Oftedahl said he didn't know about the DVD campaign and didn't think his friends did either. Reading the student newspaper was helpful in learning about the issue, he said.
Adam Bamonti, a sophomore, thought the editorial was a good thing because "it keeps you more aware of what's going on." The school newspaper's editorials usually aren't very controversial, he said. The latest editorial was asking for a change in the bathroom policy.
He said that the school is supportive of all its students, and that the atmosphere now is no more heated than it was before.
Students have created a Facebook page about the issue.

There's something about Prince Harry (that I love)
There's something about Prince Harry that I absolutely love. Always have. And seeing him being silly in his boardies I've finally realised what it is: he looks quite a bit like my beloved, live-wire, red-headed brother did at that age—and that's not all they have in common.
My bro, who has grown into the most gorgeous and dependable man, is just one of those people who is instantly liked for his warmth, his lack of a mean bone and all-round genuine niceness as a person. He's a model father, brother and employee, but he was not always your model youth.
Actually, let me rephrase that: like Prince Harry, he was.
Because in your single twenties, if you don't have a bit of harmless fun on the way to all those heavy responsibilities (in Harry's case heavier than most), then isn't it likely that after repressing your free spirit for so long, you'll be far more likely to struggle later?
Sometimes behaving as less than a choir boy is all part of development, I reckon—you know, testing boundaries, breaking a few rules. And in Harry's generation young people are given longer to find their grown-up feet. Check out this Inside Edition video of the girls he partied with saying how decent but fun he was, and how thrilled they were to meet him.
Though I'm sure I'll be mortified at sometime in the future by the cheeky antics of my own (currently perfect) kids, I think it's healthy to let young people do it.
I am all for people—especially the generations navigating the horrendously stressful world they have inherited—being able to just be themselves, as long as nobody gets hurt. And that applies if you are a 20-something Royal, or not.
Doing the unpredictable, or sometimes the mildly shocking (because seriously, post internet, how authentically shocking is the sight of a nude young chap horsing around with friends) is part of the developmental job description.
Yes in Harry's case he's priveleged and carries great expectations. But he didn't get to choose that mantle, and under the army uniform (which by accounts he is a credit to), and the stiff Royal-occasion suits, he is a just a young guy making his own way.
I reckon he'll grow into a man who is widely loved and respected, and in the meantime I'd hate to see his happy spirit crushed.
Do you think it's fair that Harry should get to live a little crazy?

The Heavy is a type of Slasher made from a fallen Level 3 RIG personal that is heavily armored (as where it gets its name). The only vunerable areas on this necromorph is the tears in its uniform exposing its limbs, which also include its head. His hands are horribly disfigured, each finger being turned into its own sharp blade, giving it 5 blades on each arm: a total of 10 blades.......duh. 5+5=10
Sadly I'd think youd only find one on the ishimura or in th mines of titan..
Fun fact: I used my Isaac Clarke action figure for posing and drawing details.
I dunno if anyone has done this before (probably has) but im bent on beating the Dead Space game wearing only the Level 1 RIG the whole time.

The hostel is really near to Termini Station, and for that price the Hostel was OK, but the bathroom was really really dirty, and one from the two toilets we couldn't even use, because there was no water in it.

A participant in the recent soybean aphid short course [2] asked whether Iowa State University was responsible for releasing the multi-colored Asian lady beetle in Iowa. The answer is no! I'm not sure whether the inquisitive individual wanted to thank us for bringing the lady beetles into Iowa to help control soybean aphids, or he wanted to blame us for the lady beetles invading our homes and being a general nuisance. Either way, the entomologists at Iowa State can't take blame or credit.
But the question still remains, where did the multi-colored Asian lady beetles, Harmonia axyridis, come from? Their original distribution is China, Japan, and Siberia. They are not native to North America, but they have been intentionally released in the United States by entomologists. This lady beetle was extensively released for biological control of other insects beginning in 1916 in California. During 1978-1981, the beetle was additionally released by state and federal (USDA) agencies in several states along the Atlantic Coast and Gulf of Mexico, but the personnel responsible for these releases claim that the beetles never became established and eventually died out. Accidental entries have arrived on nursery stock at ports in Delaware and South Carolina. The first extensive populations were found in the United States in 1988 near the port of New Orleans, Louisiana, and it is assumed that these beetles arrived on a container ship from eastern Asia. Therefore, it is not known for certain whether the lady beetles' establishment in the United States was the result of accidental entries, planned releases, or both.
The multicolored Asian lady beetles we have in Iowa are most likely the result of the beetles probably flying here from Louisiana, or hitchhiking in a vehicle, although we will never know for sure how they arrived. They were first reported in Iowa in 1994. Since then, it has become a serious pest in Iowa vineyards--the alkaloids from a single beetle crushed in a cluster of grapes can ruin large quantities of juice, resulting in off-flavor wine. The beetles also are known to painfully bite humans (speaking from personal experience) and pets (from my black lab's experience). And if you live in a house in Iowa, you probably appreciate the nuisance factor of these little beetles during October when they defy all our efforts to keep them outside and off our walls, curtains, and light fixtures.
Fortunately, there also is a good side to this lady beetle. It is a known predator of the soybean aphid, and in that sense, it is a beneficial insect. Robert Koch, an entomologist at the University of Minnesota, reported that the total number of aphids consumed through the larval stages varied from 90 to 370 aphids, depending on the species, and across all larval stages averaged 23.3 aphids consumed per day. Adult consumption typically ranges from 15 to 65 aphids per day, again depending on aphid species. Adults typically live 30 to 90 days, but they are recorded as living up to three years.
Regardless of what your perceptions are about the multicolored Asian lady beetle, it is now a permanent, although sometimes unwanted, resident of our state. And it's not our fault.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Does the lifter arm go over or under the spring lever? and why when I replace the filter drum does it not engage the wash cycle
The lifter has a d shape and only goes on the shaft one way, so does the spring arm hold it from flipping the opposite direction?
I did not go under the drum area at all, I just turned the lifter rod in order to pplace the new lifter on it, so does this mean something was or is wrong with the solenoid?
ok I will gaive that a try, hoefully that works and thanks for your answers, the guy a day ago had no answers for me except to send me pics of the same thing i have in the manual. You will get a great review and tip
I have an issue with the selonoid piston and the arm. When I get the lifter in place the arm will not go into the arm hole the selonoid arm or i can not get the piston to fit into the hole of the selonoid.
when I put the ppiston in place and hook up the arm the piston bottoms out and I can not get the lifter into the correct spot. and when I try to move the lever under neath the liffter pops off the spring arm
I can turn the lifter clockwise to hook under the spring arm, but the spring arm is in the up position, then when I go to hook the piston arm into the hole the lifter moves and comes out from under the spring arm
does it hook anywhere on the bottom of the solenoid bracket? i am talking about the return spring
I really have no idea what you're trying to ask or say, I really think you need a technician out there if the diagrams that I or the previous expert aren't enough to help you determine how the unit goes back together. I have 2 more diagrams I can give you but if they don't help you, then you need to call a technician because I can do no more over the internet.
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX
All together now ran cycle- what makes a dishwasher empty before wash cycle? the Float?
Now that you said that, I fiqured out that the return spring was not tight enough to bring the lever all the way back into pplace. I am now up amd running, would like to thank you again for all your help however frustrating it may have been for you. Is there a way I can go back and give you a bigger tip?

Photos: Inside Monkey Town 4, an arts-and-eating extravaganza
All photos by Marissa Shevins
Dinner and a movie? How about dinner inside a movie? At Monkey Town 4, artist Montgomery Knott's new installation at Exdo Hall, diners sup on gourmet food and wine pairings inside a cube whose walls feature works by eighteen local and national video artists. Denver native Knott debuted the original Monkey Town in Brooklyn a decade ago and just brought it to Denver, where it will run through early June. We sent photographer Marissa Shevins to a recent installment; keep reading for a taste of Monkey Town 4. See also: Paul Laurie sets the table for Silver Spork Social, an underground supper club.
Monkey Town 4 offers seatings at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. every evening excluding Mondays through June 1; each seating has room for only 32 guests. "This is one of the most unique dining experiences you'll ever have. It sounds like hyperbole, but by the time our last run was almost over, we sold out every night," Knott says.
Tickets are $50 for a three-course meal on Tuesday or $80 for the five-course option served Wednesdays through Sundays. Find out more on Monkey Town's website.
