text: This is not being done for meat, as the lower pictures demonstrate. It is for gambling! Poachers are one thing, these guys are a whole new level. Due to rampant illegal dog hunting which is decimating the antelope population, and a host of other conservation issues pertinent to the area, the Lions River HO group has identified a need to form a reaction unit. The unit supports Kim Gillings, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife District Conservation Officer) with conservation law enforcement in the region. Dogs hunts are decimating such sensitive species as the Oribi, and require focused attention and the ability to respond swiftly to threats as they occur. In order to become an effective unit, extensive training was given to volunteers, who are now fully operational and legally permitted to carry out law enforcement and culling operations in the district at the request of the DCO. The unit is on 24/7 call and has conducted many successful operations since its inception in MONTH of YEAR. For details on these operations, please see the article published in The Witness on 14 March, 2011. Should you require assistance with any conservation-related issues, please contact Kim on 0845777066 or Janine on 0828720146. ANOTHER ORIBI HUNTED IN THE MIDLANDS AREA WHILE OTHER SUSPECTS ARE CONVICTED AND SENTENCED A weekend patrol by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife and Ezemvelo Honorary Officers paid off when three suspects, along with their seven hunting dogs, were apprehended in their taxi near the town of Mpophomeni exit travelling towards Boston. The taxi, which had been originally spotted on Sunday morning with the hunting dogs, was eventually tracked down at 10.30 that morning, where it was subsequently searched. Suspects were then escorted to Mpophomeni Police Station were they were charged in accordance with the Threatened or Protected Species (TOPS) regulation for prohibited hunting methods and possession of an endangered species. Along with the hunting dogs, a dead female Oribi was found in the taxi. The dogs were confiscated by the uMngeni SPCA, the Oribi carcass confiscated while the taxi was impounded. It is alleged that the taxi occupants did not have permits to hunt and in any event, would not have been permitted to hunt Oribi as it is listed as an endangered species. uKhahlamba Honorary Officer Media Liaison Janine Smith said it was depressing to see the alarming rate of illegal hunting with dogs. This is not an isolated case as there is another case pending in Impendle Magistrate Court where an Oribi was confiscated from hunters. Smith added that in another hunting case at Rietvlei, eight suspects pleaded guilty to illegally hunting with dogs. Three of them were sentenced to R10 000.00 each whilst the other five each received a R3 000.00 fine. The three vehicles were forfeited to the State. This sentence is a great stride forward and it is hoped that this will eventually serve as a deterrent from hunting illegally in protected areas, said Smith. Smith said hunters should be reminded of the TOPS regulations that state: Oribi, Tsessebe, black rhino, Cape Mountain Zebra and African wild dog are non huntable Hunting is described as: Intentionally killing by any means, method or device; Capturing by any means, method or device, with the intent to kill; Search for, lie in wait for, pursue, shoot at, tranquilise or immobilise with the intent to kill; Lure by any means, method or device with the intent to kill. Hunting with dogs is listed as a prohibited hunting method. In the event that the suspects are found guilty of hunting an endangered species (listed in the TOPS regulation) they could be fined a maximum of R10 million or 25 years jail sentence. e-mail email@example.com In the early hours of Sunday 06 March a local Rietvlei farmer received information from his farm guard that he suspected that three vehicles parked on private property adjacent to the main Rietvlei/Karkloof road could be a group of people illegally hunting game with dogs. Other local farmers as well as the Rietvlei SAPS and Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife were contacted to render assistance. Mondi sent their security company to assist as well. The hunters had gone into the plantation with their dogs and the drivers of the three vehicles were in hiding. Constables BP Ngubane and NMS Maphanga, despite being given instruction by the Rietvlei Officer in Command to leave one of the lady farmers to guard the vehicles and proceed to a polling registration venue, remained with the vehicles to ensure that they did not drive off. In the meantime someone had called the Pietermaritzburg POP unit who arrived in two vehicles with police dogs. A local Ezemvelo Honorary Officer spotted one of the vehicle drivers walking along the road and alerted the dog squad unit who persuaded the person to talk to the two other hidden drivers to surrender themselves or all the vehicles would be impounded. This tactic worked and the three drivers gave themselves up. The hunters and their dogs could be heard in the plantation but would not surrender. After many hours the suspects and their dogs came out onto the road. There were 13 men with 21 African greyhound like hunting dogs, the breed known as Africanus . The hunters and their dogs were loaded into the three vehicles and were told to drive directly to the Rietvlei Police Station. The first bakkie was escorted by Coin Security and the two Rietvlei constables and arrived safely at the police station with 9 hunters and 15 dogs. Unfortunately the second bakkie and the Taxi were left to the POP unit to take to the police station. These two vehicles never arrived and were mislaid en route. The dogs and their handlers alighted from the vehicle at the police station and the dogs were immediately given water and sprayed down with a hose because they had been without water for many hours. 15 dogs of all colours and sizes milled around the station whilst the necessary statements were taken and paperwork completed. Jabulani Mshengu of the Howick SPCA was asked to come out and inspect the dogs to ensure that they were healthy and were not suffering from any diseases, infections or injuries. 4 of the 15 dogs were found to be in bad health and were taken to the Howick SPCA, where they are currently being given treatment and being spayed and neutered. Another abandoned dog spent the night with an Honorary Officer before being taken to the SPCA where she is also being kept until such time as the court has given its ruling on the fate of these dogs. Whilst waiting in anticipation (but without much hope) for the other two vehicles to arrive the suspects gave information about the hunt. This was not the normal kind of hunt where a jackpot for the first antelope brought down was up for stakes, but was, in fact, a challenge from the Rietvlei local hunters to the Durban hunters to show their dog hunting skills. Although some of the dogs had blood on their paws a carcass could not be located. It was also ascertained that the Taxi combi driver was the organiser. The matter of the suspects vehicles not arriving at the Police Station after being escorted by POP members is under investigation and if it is found that the members neglected their directive, the necessary disciplinary action will be taken against the POP members. The suspects appeared in the Greytown court on Monday 07 March and were released on warning and will reappear in court on 17 March 2011. Farmers in the area are warned to look out for the following vehicles White Nissan bakkies with white canopies with registration no's . NU 48786 and NC2192 and a Shongweni Taxi Association HiAce NU 43083. Please report sightings of these vehicles to your nearest OIC or Honorary Officer unit. Once again the Howick SPCA is commended for their willingness to come out to these illegal hunts and impound dogs that are in ill health or badly injured. In most cases the magistrate does not hand down sentence that the owners are liable for the medication, kennelling or spaying/neutering. The costs are borne by the Howick SPCA. The only assistance they receive is dog food provided by the Lions River Honorary Officer Unit. Ezemvelo spokesperson, Jeff Gaisford said Ezemvelo remains deeply concerned about the ongoing level of this type of illegal hunting, and is working closely with the police and farming communities to contain it. We encourage landowners to report any suspicious activities of this nature to their local Ezemvelo District Conservation Officer, honorary officers or the police. The fact that two vehicles that were implicated in this particular incident managed to escape the net is a great disappointment Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Joey Jeevan confirmed the incident and said six people were arrested for the illegal hunting. We will endeavour to gain information regarding the outcome of this case which will be published on this website. Lions River Honorary Officers

The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Chaupin rivals the 2007 Chaupin (to date the best Chaupin I have yet tasted). Made from 100% Grenache... it boasts a dense black/purple color as well as unbelievable notes of raspberries, black cherries, licorice, truffles, camphor, forest floor and garrigue. This wine is stunningly concentrated, incredibly noble, precise and expansive on the palate with mouth-saturating intensity, glycerin and extract. It is an amazing example of impeccably grown old vine Grenache translated into a natural yet full-throttle red. Robert Parker

Floods are generally related to
storms that produce large amounts of rain over short periods of time,
resulting in the accumulation of excessive amounts of water. Flooding
occurs in all parts of Florida. Hurricanes are often accompanied by
storm-surge flooding and inland flooding due to extensive rains that are
associated with the storms. River flooding, which may or may not be
related to hurricane-associated rains, can be a problem in many parts of
the state. Localized heavy storms can and do produce flooding. While
hurricanes are Florida's most obvious flood producers, it is important
to realize that heavy rains can cause flooding in Florida at any time of
the year and at any place. Flooding may result in the loss of human life
and property. Episodes of flooding may be accompanied by contamination
of aquifers and water wells in some areas. Floridians should be aware of
"boil-water warnings" posted in their local news media. It is vitally
important that everyone living in Florida be aware of the potential for
flooding and resources available to assist Floridians in dealing with
Flooding is related to an area's topography and surface
water features including its coastline. The state of Florida is divided
into Five Water Management Districts and their web sites provide flood
information pertinent to the areas that they cover. Links to these web
sites are provided below:
There are a number of web based resources that contain
important information concerning flooding. Three are included here. The
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) website contains information
on the Federal Flood Insurance Program
Federal Flood Insurance is a vital resource since
homeowner's insurance does not cover flood damage. The website also
provides instructions for ordering maps that detail flood prone areas.
Ideally, flood prone areas should be identified and taken into account
when developments are planned. The National Oceanographic and
Atmospheric Administration website contains invaluable information on
weather events that produce flooding. It is important for Floridians to
be aware of the weather at all times, with special vigilance during
hurricane season. A link to the Weather Channel web site, a commercial
site, is included.

If I Were You by Lisa Renee Jones (new edition on sale March 12)

KINGSWINFORD Hockey Club's promotion hopes suffered a body blow as they drew 3-3 at Newtown.
Things looked promising when Billy Jawanda gave Kings an early lead with a wonderful strike into the roof of the net.
But missed chances proved costly as Newtown took advantage of some half-hearted play to score three quick goals and gain control.
It wasn't until deep in the second-half Kings finally awoke from their slumber.
They pulled one back when a home defender panicked under pressure from Surjit Takhar and deflected Sam George's cross into his own net.
A neat lay-off routine between Jawanda and Takhar then allowed Kaz Purewal to slot home the equaliser from five yards out. Despite pressing late on, Kings couldn't find the winner.
Skipper Adam Pritchard said: "We now only have a faint chance of promotion. We have just not played well since Christmas.
"It's almost as if we turn up expecting to win. That never happens in hockey no matter how good you are.
"We will now be missing our best player, Billy Jawanda, for a few weeks and we must all pull our weight and show we are capable of playing good hockey.
"We will not tolerate poor performances from anybody in the squad."
Next week is make or break for Kings when they take on high-flying Bromsgrovians.
The second XI fared better as they recorded a 1-0 win over Kidderminster despite not having a recognised keeper.
In a keenly-contested game, Ravi Johal scored the only goal midway through the first-half when he converted Julian Turner's cross.
The seconds next match is away at Bloxwich.

Right age for Pregnancy
I am Manju. I am a 26 year old Professional thinking about getting pregnant soon and thus I have this question in mind.
These days there is a talk about a preference for early pregnancy, before 30 years of age but being a professional, it is difficult as well. Is there a particular age bar beyond which it will be impossible to get pregnant?
25th September 2013 06:01 AM #2
Hi manju,
Thank you for your interesting question.
It is difficult to give an age beyond which it is impossible to get pregnant because this varies significant between individuals. It is related to the age which you go through the menopause; this can be predicted based on the age your mother went through the menopause.
Beyond 35 years of age, the quality and quantity of a women's eggs decrease. This makes it more difficult to conceive and also unfortunately makes the chance of miscarriage higher as well as syndromes such as Down's Syndrome. By age 40 most women only have a 50% chance of successfully conceiving and this percentage rapidly drops in the subsequent five years (reaching only 5% at age 45).
There is a previous thread here by our midwife Jane with more information on conceiving as an older mum.
Please do let us know if you have any further questions about this.
Warm wishes,

HELPERBY lead division one by two points after title rivals Sheriff Hutton Bridge suffered their first reverse of the Pilmoor Evening Cricket League season.
Bridge, who now share second place with Thirsk, batted first against visiting Sessay and 104-8 thanks to Jordan Grose's 37 and Mark Fisher's 23. Craig Easton took 4-24 for Sessay.
Sessay's reply began disastrously as Mark Fisher bowled Nick Thorne with his second ball then trapped Matthew Wass lbw next ball.
Grose bowled Paul Flintoff with the first ball of the second over to leave Sessay on 0-3, but Joe Watson (47no) and Stuart Peirse (37) put together a 61-run partnership.
Tom Sowerby added 21 not out as Sessay won with an over to spare, Mark Fisher finishing with 2-19 and Simon Naylor 2-18.
Helperby had a three-wicket win at Clifton Alliance.
Josh Harrison (39no) and Mark Taylor (21) carried a youthful Alliance side to 92-5. Dan Spink (31) and Matthew Cavanagh (21) led the Helperby reply and, despite Will Moll taking 3-21 and Allan Barton 2-16, they won with four overs to spare.
Thirsk won a close contest at Sheriff Hutton, posting 117-7 with Stuart Christon (28) and James Wilkinson (27) leading the way. For the hosts, David Hull took 3-27 and Eddie Hull 3-25.
Andy Frank and David Hull each made 20 and Chris Gartland 22 not out, but they failed to score the nine they needed from the final over and closed on 114-8, with Ross McAndrew taking 2-15.
Newburgh got their first points of the season when they won by three wickets at Alne.
Eddie Myers (27), Lewis Cox (29), Steve Raper (31no) and Toby Stirke (20) helped the hosts reach 132-9, Dave Taylor returning 3-15.
Newburgh's reply was led by Charles Ramsay, who made 43, and the Banks brothers, James (36) and Tom (23). Eddie Myers claimed 4-21.
Rowntrees & Huntington lead the second division following a solid display against New Earswick.
Unbeaten half-centuries from Nick Johnson and Tom Shaw (both 51 ret) and 24 from Jack Hugill provided the bulk of their 138-2.
Then Hugill's 2-18 and Dan Waterworth's 3-22 held the Earswick reply in check at 80-6, despite 33 from Adam Hewitson.
Acomb remain in second place following a big win at Raskelf.
Aidey Burton (54 ret) and Joe Dale (51 ret) led the way in their 161-5, Gavin Lowe taking 2-3 for the hosts.
The home reply struggled to 71 all out with Stephen Lennox (3-6) leading Acomb's victory charge.
Huby beat visitors Civil Service by 5 runs.
Andrew Luff made almost half of his side's runs, hitting 48 as Service posted 97-7.
Arran Kirkbride (23) and Sean Dixon (24) took Huby towards their target, but they were thwarted by the efforts of Richard Simpson (3-29) and Jonathan Latham (2-15) and closed on 92-8.
Dringhouses were 27-run winners at home to Crayke.
Danny Snaith held the home innings together with an unbeaten 42 and George Wilson supported with 23 in their 111-8.
Youngster Joe Wright took 3-4 for Crayke and Mark Hutchinson 2-17.
The Crayke reply fell short on 84-6, Graeme Dawson top-scoring with 19 against Ben Johnson (2-13) and Tom Storr (2-16).

While exposure to true eco-friendly toys is wonderful for children, toys that foster an appreciation of the environment or teach children eco-friendly concepts are just as important. These toys help children understand the "big picture" of the Earth's system, while also teaching them the importance of an eco-friendly lifestyle and how to attain it. The earlier children learn to appreciate the Earth and understand their impact on it, the more likely they are to help preserve and maintain it!

Mayor Livingstone sworn in
Ken Livingstone has been officially sworn in as London's first directly elected mayor.
The new mayor signed a declaration of office at a low key ceremony on Monday at his temporary office in Romney House, central London.
Nine out of the 25 members of the Greater London Assembly were also sworn in.
They included three Tories, four Labour members and two Green members.
The mayor has offered the position of deputy to Nicky Gavron, the Labour member for Enfield and Harrow in the London assembly.
She has not yet commented on whether she will accept the position.
The post of chair of the new Metropolitan Police committee has been offered to Labour member Lord Harris, who represents Brent and Harrow.
Green Party assembly member Darren Johnson, a top-up list candidate, has been given the environment brief.
Liberal Democrat member Lord Tope, another top-up list candidate, has turned down the offer of heading the fire and civil defence authority.
He said while it was an important position the Lib Dems were more interested in holding a more prominent post, such as equality or the environment.
Mr Livingstone said he had been assured by Prime Minister Tony Blair there would be no pressure on Labour members not to work with his administration, despite his expulsion from the party.
On the subject of Mr Livingstone rejoining Labour, Mr Blair did not offer any encouragement to the suggestion the Brent East MP could return to the party. He said Mr Livingstone had stood for mayor as an independent after previously saying he would not.
Mr Blair said: "You must understand that there is a degree of resentment in the Labour Party because people felt that they were given an assurance during the course of this long process that he would abide by the result."
The willingness of Labour members to accept a role in the administration may not be helped by Mr Livingstone's comments on Sunday.
He restated his willingness to go to court over government plans to push ahead for part-privatisation of London Underground.
Race on agenda
In an interview with black newspaper The Voice, Mr Livingstone also promised he would not let down voters from ethnic minorities who helped him to the mayor's office.
Mr Livingstone said: "I want to say thank you to all those from London's black communities who have voted for me - I will not let you down.
"During the last three months I have attended a number of hustings organised by Operation Black Vote ... and I heard time and time again black Londoners demand political representation and fair access to employment opportunities.
"My administration will tackle these issues in consultation with the black communities of London."
The assembly is made up of nine Labour members, nine Conservatives, four Liberal Democrats and three Greens.

Higher retransmission consent fees are passed through to subscribers in the form of higher subscription fees. The government has granted commercial broadcasters with valuable spectrum and provides a range of legal and regulatory protections to help ensure the availability of broadcast television to the public. The use of some of those legal and regulatory protections to extract substantially higher fees from smaller distributors and their customers raises policy questions that the Commission should consider carefully.
I think that the Commission should carefully consider whether adjustments to regulations that would spread this burden more equally across all MVPD subscribers would be more consistent with the Commission's public policy objectives.

JMS3072 - Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - linkActually, as of a few days ago, Apple has been allowing RAM and SSD upgrades on the base model. Reply
ddarko - Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - linkAnand, since your review and starting about a week or two ago, Apple expanded the built-to-order options on the base retina model so that the drive can be changed to the 512 GB SSD (or the 768 GB drive). The upgrade to the bigger drive costs $500 ($1000 for the 768 GB version) but at least now the base model can be ordered with bigger drives now. Reply
hormel - Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - linkHow is the user supposed to change the SSD out? The MBPr is glued up tighter than a drum. Reply
ImSpartacus - Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - linkTake off the back and unplug it. The SSD is physically proprietary, but I don't think it's 'glued up'. Reply
hormel - Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - linkhttp://cnettv.cnet.com/cracking-open-macbook-pro-r...
I guess it is possible, but you'll need to buy a special screw driver. Reply
ImSpartacus - Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - linkOh, you were talking about the screws? Yeah, those are a bit of a pain.
I heard 'glued up' and thought about the battery, which IS glued up tighter than a drum. Reply
darwinosx - Thursday, December 06, 2012 - linkA Google search would have cleared that up in 2 seconds. Reply
MartinT - Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - linkIs LSI/Sandforce better at supporting partners in designing their own implementations than, say, Marvell? Do they offer better firmware support?
I guess in this specific case OWC has a long track record of using Sandforce, but I wonder if there's a market in special designs using other hardware. Reply
macuser2134 - Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - linkIf I actually wanted an external SSD ( I don't). Then I can buy a top-of-the-line 2.5" Vertex 4 256GB for $190. Or some cheaper 2.5" 256GB SSD. Stick it in a cheap USB3 enclosure. The cost of that (plus Apple 512GB upgrade) isn't significantly more than the OWC after September. Since 79+60$ = $140. If paying for that enclosure.
This product doesn't seem to help anyone who will be buying these machines in the long-term. Why would I want to replace the stock SSD with an inferior one that costs more money, slows down the whole system (since disabling filevault is just plain daft), and no free choice of manufacturer(s)? There is no competition here.
For christ's sake, we need an mSTATA PCB adaptor. That allows us to purchase from any mSATA SSD manufacturers. A small circuit board with a couple of connectors on either side. Now that would be something quite simple. Perfect for upgrading to 512Gb and larger when mSATA drives come out in larger capacities. We just want to buy the same SSD drives that are being made for the PC market. Fair competition and lower prices. So let's fix the REAL problem, which is the proprietary Apple PCB connector. And encourage other companies (not OWC) to correct that. Reply
LauRoman - Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - linkUnless the option of removing the 256 GB SSD from the rmbp saves you less than 80$ that OWC saves you money. And selling the one you have gives you somewhat of an advantage. The math is:
(price of default SSD + 500$) = price of Apple 512GB SSD > OWC SSD price
OWC SSD price - what_you_get_for_vanilla_apple_SSD < 500$
Either way you make money.
And i haven't mention the fact that paying apple 500$ only gets you 256 GB more while the OWC one gets you 512 GB more for only 80$ on top. Reply
macuser2134 - Tuesday, August 14, 2012 - linkWell you should definitely buy it then if you make money either way. Its making you money... Either way paying another $580 is going to be a sure profit-maker.
Oh wait! I forgot that I just spent over $2000 on a brand new laptop. Which was why I could only afford the 256GB in the first place. Oh well.
To be sure, the only way to save money (that isn't utter nonsense) would be just to stick with the 256GB model. Then in about 1-2 years time buy a larger SSD when the prices come down. Now that won't happen if OWC are the only people who are ever making these things, right? Get it? Reply
vbmluis - Wednesday, August 15, 2012 - linkFor 79.99$ you get a 256GB SSD Reply

Risen 3: Titan Lords - New Screenshots
I managed to find some new screenshots for Risen 3: Titan Lords on Neptune Games. So here is the link as I am too lazy to upload them to our gallery.
More information.
Nice! This game has a style and the developers fought hard to maintain the outlook above the level of mediocre.
After reading a preview that said the water is now the only open areas i kind of lost interest.
The screenshots look nice. Very similar to Risen 2. I'm hoping the game is more open than just water areas, though.
Vurt, do you have a link for that preview so I can read it?
I really hope they try SOMETHING a little different than the endless remakes of Gothic 1.
I hope they try remake of Gothic 3.
"No open forest or open fields. The only really open area is the sea."
sounds super lame and not something i would even consider playing. But who knows, maybe he's talking crap or just played for 5 minutes.
Edit: though there are similar reports in that thread, and fans that even defends it
"I, for one, like tubular world design. Sure beats vast plains and deserts full of nothing we saw in Gothic 3,"
I get enough of a series of a tubes on the internet.
I wish they would do a hi-def remake of the original gothic. Put it on consoles so I can sit on my couch and the controls don't give me arthritis.
There's a video available of a beta playthrough. Very illuminating.
Speaking of Gothic 3, I just started a new game using the high graphics .ini file on the Steam forums and this is one beautiful game (at least for scenery); I think it looks better than Skyrim.
"there was nothing to hit for over 30 seconds so obviously i got really bored with all the stupid plants and caves and probably hidden stuff, too much work, linear design FTW!!!!!"
I didn't get much illumination out of the video. I fastforwarded a lot, but it seemed like he never left that dock area. I certainly can't tell if we are in for 3d chutes and ladders or not. What did you get out of it?
Here's what I got out of it: Good detail, reminds me of Gothic. Improved animations and textures. I like the way it looks, the rats scurrying around, ducks walking on the wharf, decent amount of clutter. The bad part is that it seems to validate the "tunnel" criticism. The path up the mountain, for example, gives you a choice of which cave (literally a tunnel) to go through on your way, there does not seem to be any ability to scramble up rocks or ledges or even stray from the path.
In spite of that, I like the atmosphere more than in Risen 2. I guess we'll have to see if the gameplay makes up for the limits. Oddly, I'm slightly reassured because I was prepared for it to be worse than Risen 2 and that does not seem to be the case.
Damn, I really don't like tunnel area design. I hope that's not the case with all land areas.
We would all be fools to accept the word of one person who played nothing but a demo version for a few minutes as an indicator of whether or not we should buy the game.
They also use old engine which is unable to render big open terrain in required quality so they are forced to stick to more corridor-like approach.
I need to get around to playing the first two games.
As for this one, so what if its linear as long as it's fun.
I don't see any reason why every game needs to be open world.
I kind of like the look of it so far, but if they are going that linear with no open world, then they're cutting their own throats. Two Thumbs Down.

Cunningham, who was promoted to head coach earlier this year after six years as the Raiders' defensive coordinator, has taken the initiative of developing his players with a busy summer schedule.
His itinerary consists of four different camps, 7 on 7 passing games, and daily workouts in the weight room.
"We're having good participation," Cunningham said. "We've averaged about 70-plus (players) in the weight room every day."
The process is all part of the daunting task that lies in front of him as the official start of football season approaches: turn Habersham Central around and get back in the playoffs.
But Cunningham hasn't been left to fend for himself. With a slew of returning starters, some reeling in Division-I attention, his head coaching career starts with the components needed to be a playoff contender.
"It hasn't been that big of a transition," Cunningham said. "I do all things now that I used to do, but now I get to watch more than one area. I get to have relationships with the coaches in all areas.
"Most of the pressure has been self-imposed," he added. "But if everybody plays to their full potential, then you're doing your job."
Cunningham takes over a Habersham Central program that has enjoyed four straight winning seasons and two region titles in 2006 and 2007. The Raiders' bid for a fourth straight playoff appearance ended last year, when they finished 6-4 and lost a tiebreaker with Cedar Shoals for the fourth seed.
During Habersham Central's span on winning seasons, it saw several players move on to the college level, including Georgia wide receiver Tavarres King and Oklahoma linebacker Daniel Franklin, who played for a BCS National Championship in January.
With examples set by previous standouts, the next generation of college athletes from Mount Airy may be on the verge.
"We've come really far," said senior offensive lineman Kalan Jones, who has offers from Central Florida and Wake Forest, and has interest from several ACC schools, including Clemson and Georgia Tech. "I was kind of scared at first in the spring, but we've come a long way and we've matured."
Jones is part of an offensive line that will protect second-year starting quarterback Austin Brown, who is one of the states top junior signal callers according to Scout.com. Running backs D.J. Grffin and Kevin Ellison also return this year, giving Habersham Central an experienced running game.
"We now have more depth at running back," Cunningham said. "We've never had much depth there, but we'll make adjustments and do what works."
But how the Raiders will look as a whole has yet to be seen this summer. The offensive linemen recently attended the Elite Offensive Line Camp at Mill Creek High, and were also part of the North Metro Offensive Line camp earlier this summer at North Oconee High.
Meanwhile, their teammates attended camps at Furman University and the University of West Georgia. Weekly workouts at the school have been the only times the entire team has been together.
"I think we're going to be pretty good, but it's kind of hard to judge right now," Jones said. "We don't do anything with receivers or anyone during the summer."
But keeping the players separated is all part of Cunningham's plan to make sure every player gets specialized attention at their position in time to bring everything together when practice starts.
"Summer is the time to get durable," Cunningham said. "In the middle of the season, there's no chance to get stronger. You get all that out of the way now."

Two tanks with eight Armor Soldiers, two Strykers with two crewmen and 44 Infantrymen in a rifle platoon its a combined arms equation that could play out in theater any day. Last week, it was a full-scale training operation led by Infantry students training to become Infantry leaders.
Capt. James Gallagher, company commander for A Company, 2nd Battalion, 11th Infantry Regiment, said it was the first time Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicles were fully integrated into an Infantry Basic Officer Leader Course field exercise.
This training tests our lieutenants agility and adaptability as leaders, he said. So far during this course, IBOLC cadre have trained them to operate as platoons consisting of three rifle squads and a weapons squad: a typical rifle platoon task organization. With the added firepower and maneuverability of tanks and Strykers, the lieutenants ability to execute mission command on outside elements and work with adjacent units is put to the test providing lessons learned they can take with them to their follow-on units.
The training started Nov. 13 at Selby Combined Arms Collective Training Facility and continued through Friday. 1st Battalion, 29th Infantry Regiment, assisted in planning and execution, supplying personnel and equipment to carry out the platoon-level attack.
Weve spent the past four months working together to get this training ready for our students, Gallagher said, and I cannot thank them enough for their outstanding teamwork and cooperation. Their cadre has provided great advice on the equipment they bring to the fight. Our students and their future Soldiers will benefit greatly from it.
The commander said during the past several years, leadership has recognized how essential it is to make Infantry lieutenants ready to plan, prepare, coordinate and then take charge of the multitude of battlefield maneuver assets and enablers available to them on the modern battlefield. A company includes more than 170 Soldiers who with the right training will be a valuable addition to the ground forces they will join.
This training ties right in with the purpose of the MCoE, Gallagher said. The Armor branch, Stryker Infantry units, and light Infantry are all part of the combined arms team. If we get it right in training, we will get it right in combat. Never before have our leaders, NCOs and officers had so many assets at their disposal to both safeguard our Soldiers and to bear against the enemy. And the need to train on the integration of both Armored and Infantry combined arms assets (is) so pertinent at the earliest opportunities.
The 11th week of IBOLC is an early opportunity to let students see the combined arms team in action and have a hand in executing a complex mission. The urban scenario included clearing seven buildings: five with an enemy combatant and two to establish a local support-by-fire position and gain security to isolate their objective.
2nd Lt. Jason Stisser acted as the platoon leader Wednesday for 4th Platoons first run-through of the mission.
Its our first platoon situational training exercise in urban terrain, he said. In training, we always practice integrating combined arms. We always say were calling for fire; were bringing in helicopters. But to have physical assets of different combined arms elements supporting our operation on the station, to be able to actually communicate with them its pretty good. Its the best training Ive done yet.
4th Platoons first mission ended with two casualties, one wounded and one unarmed person captured in hostile territory. The Soldiers conducted a medevac with one of the Stryker vehicles.
Talking to all the parts and keeping the whole big picture moving is the hardest part, Stisser said. In reality, Ill be thinking about this until Im retired from the Army probably about how I couldve done it differently.
They told us when we came here that their goal is to make us adaptive and agile leaders, but its different witnessing it. I could think of a million different ways I probably shouldve done this differently, but the fact is they gave us the tools to make decisions and then they put us in an environment where we had to make the decisions. And theres no other way to be more prepared for what were going to do.
After graduation on Dec. 13, Stisser will PCS to Germany where he will likely serve as a platoon leader. He said his time in IBOLC has given him a taste of whats in store.
The most impressive part for me as a student here is just the amount of resources weve had to be able to make as realistic training as possible, he said. Its one thing to do an assault on a shack in the woods. Its something totally different to do an assault on solid buildings with doors and windows, pyrotechnics, tanks, Strykers, a whole platoon of guys. This is what I want to do for a living.
It is humbling to think that at some point its not going to be me leading 43 of my peers on a fake objective. Its going to be me leading 40 Infantrymen who have lives and Families and theres real bullets. To think that this is going to happen for real with actual Soldiers following me its humbling, but its also reassuring to know it can work. We know that these things do work.
The Infantry battalion has been increasingly integrating combined arms elements into its training over the past year. Tanks, rotary wing aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles are just a few of the assets lieutenants have coordinated with. This is the first time students have dismounted from a Stryker during a real-world field exercise.
We just couldnt pass up this training opportunity to get Strykers into our course, Gallagher said. Many of our students are headed to Stryker units and combined arms battalions after their training here at the MCoE is complete, and this event will greatly enhance their ability to lead their future Soldiers and be a part of the combined arms team. This training, first and foremost, reinforces the need to conduct detailed planning and rehearsals. The lieutenants were challenged with working alongside both Armor and Stryker units and were expected to plan and rehearse to standard, using the troop-leading procedures process, the combined arms rehearsal process and most importantly teamwork to accomplish the mission.

Ever since the first stockmarket crash there have been stories of a "trouble-spot'' in Manhattan banking. When remedies from within fail, a sure ointment for financial and industrial troubles is a merger. Long has it been hoped that this treatment would be used to assuage the Manhattan sorespot. Recently just such a merger was rumored. Remarkable feature was that it involved the unique plan of consolidating four banks (TIME, Nov. 10 ).

Le Parsifal de Rafael Kubelik (Arts)
Ultime chronique anglophone rescapée du passé, une critique du Parsifal de Kubelik, et un rapide point sur la discographie de l'œuvre.
The appearance of a forgotten studio recording of such an opera like Parsifal is definitely one of the most pleasing fantasies of many opera lovers. And this dream has come true for the second time with the neglected conductor Rafael Kubelik. A few years ago, his Meistersinger appearead after having been hidden for 20 years, and immediately became the modern reference for the work. The reason for the disappearance of that wonderful set was the unwillingness of DG to release a rival recording to Jochum's, released by DG a few months later. Looking at the recording date (5/81) of this Parsifal published this month by Arts, we may guess it was a DG studio recording replaced at the last minute by Karajan's project of recording his famous set. Alas, the story behind this hidden Parsifal is not explained in the accompanying notes - so mystery remains. Anyway, we can now listen to this perfect DDD recording starring no less than King, Minton, Moll, Weikl, Salminen and Mazura.
Kubelik's qualities are the main interest of the set, since the cast is well known from other recordings. His Parsifal is enlightened by his usual musicianship, and this definitely one of the most musical performances of this work ever recorded. All phrases display refined lyrism and elegance, and the beauty of his transparent textures and strong sense of poetry are unequalled in the discography. The closing of act I and the Holy Friday are surpassingly beautiful - they may lack the fascinating colors and phrasing of Karajan's, but are far more spontaneous. This approach to the score is obviously less successful in act II, when theater has priority over music. Differently from the strong dive into spirituality and drama Knappertsbusch and Boulez (in their contrasted manners) or from Solti's spectacular movie-like atmosphere or from sublime Karajan's oratorio-like performance, Kubelik plays the score with fairytale-like Romanticism and true musicianship. If such a view cannot impose itself as a reference (the absence of sense of theatre is a definitive shortcoming), we still have a most pleasant musical experience I am sure I will be back to, when tired of intellectualism, darkness or mannerism of the rival sets.
The cast is glamourous, and the main disadvantage is to be consistent with the conductor on giving pride of place to music. Yvonne Minton is a perfect singer, and only Ludwig shows so much vocal beauty in the role: her Kundry is always well-sung, with a firm and seductive tone, but I would have appreciated sometimes less control and more of the animal magnetism the great Kundrys from Modl to Meier have always projected in the role. It is difficult to realize the sinful aspects and basic erotism of the character. Similary, Bernd Weikl's Amfortas is wonderfully sung, and his voice was magnificient at this time. However, behind the welcome austerity, his suffering lacks intensity. James King was almost 55 years old at the time of the recording, and if there are sometimes some clues of wear, the voice is still a golden one. His second act suffers from the general lack of drama. As soon as the third act begins, he displays a rare sense of nuance and a touching sense of poetry, aided by the profound inspiration of Kubelik and Kurt Moll, resulting on one of the most beautiful Holy Friday scenes ever recorded. Since Gurnemanz requires a subtle and moving narrator above all, Kurt Moll is not affected by Kubelik's concept, but builds his performance on his Liedersinger idea of the role. His marvellous dialogue with Kubelik's orchestra is something Karajan would never permit and Levine would drown in sound. Kurt Moll is here in his most beautiful voice, ideally recorded, and his great artistry is shown at its best. This Gurnemanz is the jewell of this recording. The young Franz Mazura has no problems in such a role, and Matti Salminen is a sumptuous Titurel. A few words about the beautiful performances in the secondary roles, among them Lucia Popp's and the singers of the Tölzer Knabenchor's.
In conclusion, this Parsifal will not bring the discography upside down as Kubelik's Meistersinger did when it appeared in similar conditions. Nevertheless, the romantic and lyric concept of Rafael Kubelik is quite pleasant, and listening to such wonderful music without the usual esoteric charge of suffering and darkness is a most satisfying experience.
One may wonder how one should rank this new Parsifal in the discography ? Parsifal's discography is according to me dominated by Knappertsbusch 51, which, 50 years later, continues to offer the most fascinating atmosphere of mystery and enchantment, helped by singers who are capable of providing the dramatic truth of each charachter. Krauss 53 (for Krauss himself), Knappertsbusch 64 (for Vickers) and Knappertsbusch 62 (for homogeneity and recorded sound) are the other most satisfying entries from Bayreuth, but definitely not in the same class of the 1951 edition. Boulez has his admirers: his orchestra is subtle, unequalled in its precision, modernism and clarity, but the cast has a low dramatic involvement and suffers from the fatal lack of eloquence of his Gurnemanz. Levine 1985, in spite of the musical quality of the American conductor is not really a concurrent: too many singers are below the expected standards of the discography.
There are only five studio concurrents for Kubelik : Solti, Jordan, Karajan, Levine and Barenboim. Jordan is interesting but a level below the others, and Barenboim is in disadvantage because of absence of a true Gurnemanz. Levine is unimaginative, poorly recorded (Moll!) and suffers form the marketing department ideas about casting: an aristocratic Norman and a fussy Domingo. Solti's concept lacks subtlety , and I must admit the Gottlob Frick's then worn voice has always been a problem for me, but less than the exagerated accents of Fischer-Dieskau or the blankness of Kollo. Karajan's recording is so full of shortcomings (absence of sense of theater, mannerism, too many disappointing soloists) and so full of sublime fascinating ideas or enlightments that it cannot be compared to anything else and is absolutely necessary, if not sufficient by itself. I would say Kubelik is certainly the best studio recording of the opera, and if I would recommend first Knappertsbusch 51, my clear recommandation for a first well-recorded version would be Kubelik. Again I would point out the mandatory purchase of both Karajan and Boulez. A final plead: you, editors, please do not hesitate about forgotten studio recordings we are waiting for all them!

The German-Polish Mediation Project
In May 2007 the first meeting of the network of German-Polish mediators took place in Berlin, which received financial support from the German Ministry of Justice.
The goal of this project has been and continues to be the establishment of an active network of mediators to be able to refer qualified bilingual co-mediation pairs quickly and efficiently in cases of child abduction, but also in cases concerning German-Polish custody and visitation conflicts.
The German and Polish mediators take part in trainings in the area of "mediations in bi-national conflicts involving parents and children," sharing their experiences and working methods.
Since 2007, there have been regular meetings of the project group, alternately in Poland (organized by the Lower Silesian Mediation Association DOM) and in Germany (organized by MiKK e.V.). The meetings took place in May 2007 in Berlin, October 2007 in Wroclaw, October 2008 in Berlin and September 2009 in Wroclaw. The fifth meeting is scheduled for 5-6 November 2010 in Berlin.
For information, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Participating in this project are over 50 Polish and German mediators, as well as Polish and German judges (see also the Wustrauer Declaration of 18 January 2008), representatives of the ministries of Justice in Warsaw and Berlin, the Polish and the German Central Authority, the Office for Polish Civil Rights, the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Berlin, the General Consulate of the Republic of Poland in Hamburg, the representative of the ombudsman for children's rights in Poland, the International Social Service, and until mid-2009, the European Parliament Mediator for International Parental Child Abduction Cases.
The Wroclaw Declaration was issued in October 2007 as part of the German-Polish project. In addition, the Viadrina Declarationwas released at a German-Polish symposium in Frankfurt-Oder in which project mediators participated in October 2008.
In 2009, a German-Polish ministerial group was also founded to work on cross-border mediation. This group met for the first time with representatives from both countries in Berlin in December 2009.

Dee Burris Blakley 2013-10-28T22:05:48Z tag:dreamwidth.org,2011-06-11:913346:143924 Looking for a daddy... 2013-10-28T22:05:48Z 2013-10-28T22:05:48Z public 2 I was going back through some photos to link to my GEDCOM when I ran across this one.

.

.

Isabelle Jane Herrington and brother, Benjamin Thomas Herrington. Photo circa 1945

I looked to see what I knew about this great grand aunt of mine. Not much. I figured I needed to try and flesh her out - make her more real to me.

The photo was a decent beginning.
Several frustrating hours of internet searches gave me more on Isabelle Jane Herrington.

Like she hardly ever - not even in legal documents - was called either Isabelle or Jane.

She was Belle.

The hours of searching also blew up part of the oral family history. Belle Herrington was not married first to a man named Boyd Thomason in 1909.

Because in the 1920 census (I could not find the 1910), Belle Herrington was Belle Jones, and she had two children living with her - a daughter named Ethel and a son named Thomas. Belle said she was a widow, working as a servant in a hotel. The family lived in Sparkman in Dallas Co., AR.

Given Belle's son's name - Thomas Jones, I began to wonder if his father's name was Boyd Thomas Jones, or Thomas Boyd Jones.

In the 1930 census, that hunch got stronger.
Part of the oral family history had it that Belle married in 1927 for a second time to S L Lockridge.

That was closer. Her new husband's name was Smith Louisa Lochridge (with an H not a K), and Belle and her son, Thomas B Jones (shown as Smith's step-son) were living in Seminole, Seminole Co., OK.

In 1940, I found Smith and Belle Lochridge living with Eythel Jones Jones and her husband, Orvel James Jones, along with their three children in Weleetka, Okfuskee Co., OK, where Belle Herrington died and was buried in 1973.

Smith Louisa Jones died in Miller Co., AR in 1941, and was buried in Oakland Cemetery, Fordyce, Dallas Co., AR. That may have been to have his grave closer to his children from his first marriage.
I never heard anything about great grand aunt Belle Herrington as I was growing up.

But I also never heard my maternal grandmother, Addie Louise Herrington, say anything about the Herringtons who stayed in Grant County, either - the children of Hardy Holmes Herrington and Martha J Cummings. These were Belle's paternal aunts and uncles, like Mary Emeline Herrington, married to Uriah Poss. Or Belle's paternal uncle, Jasper Lee Herrington, who married Sarah Elizabeth Frances Poss.

The only Herringtons I heard about as a child were the ones who lived in and around Malvern (Hot Spring Co.) and Arkadelphia (Clark Co.).

So now, I wonder why.
Anyone with information about the father of Eythel and Thomas B Jones, please contact me, either by commenting to this entry, or you can email me at:

Your priest is misinformed. The Church's Catechism can and should be read by all Catholics (some might say especially by associate pastors). The language is not at all technical and is within the grasp of the average adult Catholic.
The Catechism is laid out in an orderly, systematic style with copious citations to Scripture, to the Fathers of the Church, and to the ecumenical councils. Of particular help are the summary statements at the end of each section. The Church desires that all Catholics - especially lay Catholics - study the new catechism as a means of growing in knowledge of the faith.
Many Catholics are confused about what the Church really teaches because they have received conflicting messages from priests, nuns, and others. Perhaps one reason some are opposed to the promulgation of this Catechism is that they'll no longer be able to say the Church has "changed its teachings" on issues such as purgatory or Marian doctrines, or that there is no official teaching on issues such as contraception and homosexuality. Buy two copies: one for yourself and one as a gift for your associate pastor.

Donegall Pass Youth Club reopens after £150,000 refurbishment
A South Belfast youth club opened its doors this week after a £150,000 refurbishment that will enhance the social, recreational and educational opportunities of young people in the area.
Donegall PASS Youth Club was officially reopened by Rosemary Rainey, Chairperson of the Belfast Education and Library Board who secured funding from the Department of Education to refurbish the existing club at Porters Memorial Assembly Hall.
The reopening of Donegall Road Youth Club renews the BELBs commitment to the young people of the area to provide social, recreational and educational opportunities for them, said Miss Rainey.
The new premises will enable the board to extend the opening hours and expand the range of services on offer to the young people. I want to wish everyone who uses these facilities the very best for many years to come.
The opening was attended by Michael McGimpsey who addressed the assembled guests, youth club members, parents and volunteers. The South Belfast MLA said he was overjoyed that the new facilities are now open to the community.
For many years I, alongside the local community, lobbied BELB and the Department of Education for a youth club in the area and we are overjoyed to finally see all those years of work come to fruition, Mr McGimpsey said.
It is a tribute to BELB and the centre staff that the youth club is already opening extra evenings for the young people and I trust it will only go from strength to strength. While this is a welcome start for the young people of Donegall Pass, I look forward to future investment in the area to ensure our young people are given the very best start they possibly can.
BELB Area Youth Officer Steven Moore thanked all the volunteers and staff who have worked in the club over the years.
Without the hard work and tenacity of the volunteers and staff, we wouldnt be celebrating the opening of a new refurbished Donegall Road Youth Club, said Mr Moore.
I would like to pay tribute to the commitment of all the staff, paid and voluntary, and to the South Belfast Area Project who have worked over the years with young people in this area.

A better approach would be for the plperl.c code to keep track of initialization with a finer granularity. Specifically track the fact that plc_safe_ok.pl ran ok so not re-run it if on_trusted_init fails. But that would be a more invasive change for no significant gain so didn't seem appropriate at this point. The current code works fine, and behaves well in failure modes, so I think it's okay the way it is. I hope to work on plperl.c some more for the 9.1 release (if my employer's generosity continues). Mainly to switch to using PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT to simplify state management and improve performance (getting rid of the many many hidden calls to pthread_getspecific). That would be a good time to rework this area. > This makes me think maybe we should not expose it at all. Its not > like you can tell people oh you have something you need in your plperl > safe? Just stick it in @PostgreSQL::InServer::safe::EvalInSafe. As > we might change this *undocumented* interface in the future. > > That being said *im* ok with it. Its useful from a debug standpoint. Yes. And, as I mentioned previously, I expect people like myself, David Wheeler, and others to experiment with the undocumented functionality and define and document a good API to it for the 9.1 release. I'd much rather get this change in than shoot for a larger change that doesn't get committed due to long-running discussions. (Which seems more likely as Andrew's going to be less available for the rest of the commitfest.) Tim. p.s. If there is interest in defining a documented API (for DBAs to control what gets loaded into Safe and shared with it) for *9.0* then that could be worked on, once this pach is in, ready for the next commitfest.

Fall is in the air and scattered all around my home! Touches of white pumpkins, and plaid throws, mixed in with some bold deep orange mums for my dining space. You can't smell it, but the scentsy burner is on with smells of autumn filling the air. So I am glad you are here and I hope you grab yourself a cup of coffee as you browse some of my Fall home tour and stop by all my friends doorways as well, for some beautiful inspiration there. Be sure to see their links after the tour and enter our GIVEAWAY for a chance to win a beautiful "Gather" sign to add to your home for this Fall season.
I am so glad you are here, this tour I will be sharing my Dining room space, Kitchen, and one of my styled Mantels in my Family Room. I have more to come including my second version of my mantel here tomorrow. I will be having a second home tour with some of my fellow Farmhouse decor ladies, so don't forget to stop by again!
First stop the kitchen where I added some FALL touches to my Chalkboard Wall. I wanted to keep it simple here so I added these mason jars that I shared the tutorial a few weeks back. The green apples just pop very well with the black wall in the background and I kept the green wreath since I love green all year long. You will see very little traditional "fall colors" on this tour except for a bit of orange in the dining room. I love my neutrals mixed with pops of greens so I kept true to my design for the new season.
Well…you already got a sneak peek of the dining room here…so let's go take a better look.
Now my dining room is a work in progress…hoping I can have it finished before the Holidays, but having it decorated for the season helped keep this room filled and cozy. I recently painted the buffet which makes a HUGE difference in this room.
Onto one of my versions of the mantel, be sure to stop by tomorrow to see more of this room including the second version of my fall styled mantel.
So now before you leave be sure to enter our GIVEAWAY to win this beautiful "gather" sign. I would die for one myself…this lady is super talented and you can have this sitting on your mantel before your Thanksgiving gathering (haha).
and then please go check out all these other lovely ladies as they share their Designed for Fall Home Tour!

Monks from Gaden Shartse Monastery will visit the college's Central New York Center on Monday, Oct. 24. Gaden Monastery is one of the three most renowned monasteries in Tibet, located approximately 50 kilometers east of Tibet's capital city, Lhasa. It was built on the magnificent hillside of Drigri Mountain, a calm, peaceful retreat suitable place for spiritual development.
The monks will talk to alumni, students and faculty about "mindfulness" and how the basics of Buddhism apply in the modern western world, 4-5:30 p.m.
A reception with the monks, open to the public, is set for 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Finally, "The Inside Story," a rare peek inside the world of a Tibetan Buddhist monastery will be open to the public, 6:30-8 p.m.
All events will take place at SUNY Empire State College, 6333 State Route 298, East Syracuse.
To attend, members of the college community should sign up at http://alumni.esc.edu/events/ by Oct. 18
For more information, contact Michelle Moretin at 315-460-3142
About Gaden Monastery
The Gaden Monastery, a place for monks to study and contemplate, was established in 1409 by Je Tsongkhapa, an emanation of Manjushri (embodiment of all Buddha's wisdom), as Avalokiteshvara (embodiment of all Buddha's compassion) and as a Vajrapani (embodiment of all Buddha's ability). There were two colleges within Gaden monastery, Shartse and Jangtse.
Reputed to have had more then 3,300 monks during early years of its existence, it grew to 5,000 monks by the time of the Chinese invasion in 1950.
Gaden quickly became well known for its strong educational studies combined with moral discipline. Monks of all ages – as young as seven -- soon came from every part of Tibet to study. Regardless of their focus, all the monks engaged in Gaden's rigorous study programs for many years. There was also training in different vocations, religious music, arts, sculpture and administrative work.
In both Gaden Shartse and Gaden Jangtse, Buddhist sutra and tantra are taught and practiced in a combined program. This contrasts with other monasteries in which the study of sutra and tantra are kept separate.
Sutra is a Hindu rule or aphorism in Sanskrit literature or a group of aphoristic doctrinal summaries prepared for memorization.
Tantra refers toa fairly recent class of Hindu or Buddhist religious literature concerned with ritual acts of body and speech and mind
In 1950 the Chinese army invaded and occupied Tibet. In 1959 His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama was forced to escape to India for his own safety. India offered the Tibetans a safe place to live and keep their traditional culture and religion. More than 200,000 thousand Tibetans have followed His Holiness into exile and are now living in India or Nepal.
The establishment of Gaden Monastery in India was very difficult due to the dramatic climate differences from Tibet and severe heat. In spite of this, in 1969 Gaden Shartse was formed by 85 refugee monks in remote village in the state of Karnataka, South India. The first members of Shartse settled in the refuge colony of Mundgod, one night's drive from Bangalore. Army tents were provided through donations and the monks put together a bamboo and thatch building to serve as a common hall. In this humble structure they slept, ate, prayed, debated and studied. Many monks died of sickness and exhaustion. Through trial and error, they learned to adjust to their new environment and were able to make a modest living by farming on the land provided by the state government of Karnataka.
Over time, the population of Shartse increased to more then 1,500 monks, including resident scholars, writers, administrators and students from different parts of the world including Tibet, India, Bhutan, Nepal, Mangolia, Taiwan, Europe and the United States. Gradually, educational programs began to demonstrate sustained growth and success and so admission, instruction and accommodations were provided free of cost. Preference was given to children who were either orphans or from very poor families.

The federal government will need to stump up at least $3.5 billion for the Pacific Highway in the federal budget or risk losing the backing of one of its key supporters, independent MP
Prime Minister
The fact Mr Thomson has indicated he will still vote with Labor means the government is no more reliant on Mr Wilkie's support to stay in power than it was last week.
Mr Wilkie tore up his political pact with Labor in January over Ms Gillard's failure to deliver his preferred pokie machine reforms.
But Labor does count on Mr Oakeshott's support and he said he would be looking for action in the budget on May 8 on the highway funding and on tax reform.
"At the very least there has to be $3.5 billion in this federal budget to match the NSW government in completing the Pacific Highway by 2016," Mr Oakeshott told ABC television.
"That is the promise that the Labor Party made going into the election."
He added that he was also "really looking for some progress on comprehensive tax reform".
Mr Wilkie yesterday morning said he was assessing whether he was "in a position to push for more meaningful reforms" as a result of recent changes, including the decision by
But Ms Gillard was adamant this was not the case.
"The circumstance with the poker machine reforms is that the proposition that Mr Wilkie passionately believes in would not command support, majority support, in the House of Representatives," she said.
Both Mr Wilkie and Mr Oakeshott said yesterday morning that they expected Mr Slipper to stay out of the Speaker's chair while both criminal and civil allegations against him were dealt with.
"If at some point in the future the government mishandles this badly then I would have to seriously consider a motion of no confidence against the government," Mr Wilkie said.
He declined to comment after the announcement of Mr Thomson's resignation and after Mr Slipper confirmed he would not yet return to the Speaker's chair.
Mr Oakeshott said it was "sensible" for deputy speaker
The Coalition's manager of Opposition Business,
But Mr Windsor said he saw no reason for such an action.
"The government hasn't breached its agreement with me. There's no grounds for me to issue a no-confidence motion," he said.

GLENDALE, Ariz. - You almost didn't expect Kevin Gregg to pick baseball 17 years ago.
This year, when he was choosing where to take his pitching talents, you almost didn't expect him to pick the Dodgers.
But here he is, a 34-year-old journeyman in the Dodgers' camp on a minor-league contract for the first time since he practically was a kid in the Angels' organization.
A big kid.
"That's the first thing you see," Angels manager Mike Scioscia recalled, "is this big old body with an awkward delivery."
Gregg, who stands 6-foot-6, had no choice. His father is 6-foot-11. One of his older brothers, Mark, was an offensive lineman at the University of Oregon.
The younger Gregg played baseball, basketball and football in high school and quarterbacked his way to scholarship offers from the big Pac-10 schools and Michigan, South Carolina and Florida. But baseball beckoned and Gregg heeded when he was chosen in the 15th round of the 1996 draft by the Oakland A's.
For most of his 10-year career, Gregg has ironed out that awkward delivery. It took him a while at first. The A's released the right-hander after a bad season at Triple-A in 2002 and he broke in a year later with the Angels. After an up-and-down stint in Anaheim, Gregg went to the Florida Marlins in 2007 and became their closer, a role he maintained for five seasons with the Chicago Cubs, Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles. He recorded 143 saves during that span.
Gregg was healthy last season in Baltimore, but he ceded the ninth-inning job (to Jim Johnson) and often the eighth and the seventh innings, too. He finished the season with a 4.95 ERA and a tangle of mechanical problems he never quite sorted out.
"There wasn't any rhyme or reason behind it," Gregg said. "Being able to correct that is having a pitching coach that understands your mechanics, that understands the mechanical delivery to a certain extent."
The pitching coach in Baltimore last season, Rick Adair, must have done wonders for Johnson, who led the league with 51 saves in his first season closing.
Not so for Gregg, who spent much of his off-season watching video of his delivery, slowing it down and overlaying it with film from past seasons while waiting for a major-league contract that never came.
The Dodgers did their homework on Gregg.
Last year, pitching coach Rick Honeycutt inherited Brandon League's mechanical mess when the pitcher and his six blown saves arrived in a midseason trade. After studying video of League, Honeycutt and then-bullpen coach Ken Howell suggested some adjustments. League obeyed and allowed one run in 21 games over the final six weeks of the season.
In a perfect world, Honeycutt can work the same magic with Gregg.
"I think what happens in the game, sometimes somewhere people want to reinvent something and they ask you to do something that didn't feel comfortable," Honeycutt said. "It's not that (Gregg) didn't try it, but he probably hadn't been as comfortable as he had been in the past."
Will it be enough?
The Dodgers' bullpen is crowded with right-handed pitchers coming off successful seasons. Ronald Belisario and League finished last season as the primary eighth- and ninth-inning pitchers, respectively. Kenley Jansen also was an effective closer when healthy. Matt Guerrier can't be optioned to the minors. Former closer Javy Guerra is healthy again and stands a good chance of starting the season in the majors.
Then there's the surplus of three starters who might move to the bullpen if the Dodgers' projected starting five stay healthy.
Gregg said he was willing to overlook the odds for an opportunity to pitch for a good team. So far, so good; he's pitched in three games and allowed one hit and no runs in four innings. Of his 22 pitches, 18 have been strikes.
"I wouldn't come here if I didn't think I had a chance," he said. "Things have to play out throughout the spring."
Washed out
The Angels' and Dodgers' afternoon games were canceled because of rain, wind and hail.
In Tempe, Ariz., Angels starter Joe Blanton threw 25 pitches over three innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks and allowed a single, a home run and no other baserunners. Blanton threw 23 more pitches in the bullpen to reach his allotted pitch count. The game ended in a 1-1 tie; the Angels scored when Luis Jimenez singled in Luis Rodriguez (2 for 2).
In Scottsdale, the Dodgers scored three runs off San Francisco Giants starter Barry Zito and led 4-0 when the game was called in the second inning. Justin Sellers tripled and Alex Castellanos hit an RBI double.

NEIGHBORS >> Rotary speaker talks about potential of city dog park
Leader staff writer
IN SHORT: The president of the Jacksonville Dog Park Club discusses the advantages of a canine recreation area in Dupree Park.
Jacksonville Dog Park Club president Dan Limke told Jacksonville Rotary Club members Monday that with the help of a few successful fund-raisers, Dupree Park lies on the verge of becoming one of among the 700 stomp-and-sniff parks for which dog owners nationwide are howling praise and gratitude.
Across the United States, these parks have opened a whole new set of services to exercise dogs, let them run off-leash legally, mingle, and live happier, healthier lives, Limke said.
Visiting Murray Park in Little Rock, and dog parks in Maumelle and Burns Park proved how popular and well-received they are. During one visit, we counted the arrival of 60 people in 90 minutes.
The proposed area for the park consists of the wooded area at the southwest corner of Dupree Lake because of availability of shade and open ground, access to water and adequate parking.
Of the four acres designated for canine recreation, fences will need posting.
Limke said two separate sections would accommodate large and small breeds, and would grant access for mowing equipment and overflow parking for large events such as the Wing Ding Festival.
In its two proposals to Jacksonville city officials, the six-member dog park committee outlined benefits to local dog owners and demonstrated why Dupree Park would be the best location to install such enhancements.
Characteristics such as location, size, popularity, landscape, parking availability and proximity to the citys animal shelter make it attractive and quite feasible, Limke said.
Dog parks are places dogs are allowed to legally run off their leash, and benefit progressive communities by providing a specific area to socialize and exercise dogs in a safe environment, he said. Our goal as a club is promotion of responsible pet ownership.
A fenced area consisting of two separate sections would accommodate both large and small breeds, while allowing access for mowing equipment and overflow parking. It also is surrounded by plenty of ground to buffer dog park activity from ballpark and residential areas to the north and east.
Limke said two long vertical rows will provide access through a five-foot rubberized fence with entrance gates at each side, preventing dogs from entering the lake adjacent to the park. The rubber fence will minimize urinary corrosion.
Limke said a portion of the cost to develop the dog park would be financed by general funds of Jacksonville Parks and Recrea-tions budget.
The dog park committee would generate funds toward the purchase of additional amenities such as benches, tables, lights and dog recreation equipment.
Various community fundraisers, private and corporate contributions and a vigorous publicity campaign are vital.
Limke said the time frame in which to secure funds to open the dog park is of primary concern.
Fundraising efforts are being scheduled to help pay the approximate $10,000 the dog club needs, which include dog washes, photo shoots, and a manufactured doghouse contest on Oct. 22.
Paved name inscriptions on brick walkways will recognize donors. City funds wont be available after this year, so weve only got a limited time to get this off the ground, Limke said.
The parks and recreation budget allocates available funding through the end of the year, which is why were doing all we can to get the word out and come up with as many ideas as possible to raise money for this.
The dog park could likely become a source for additional revenue through rentals for dog-related activities. Limke believes visitors from in and around Jacksonville would enhance the local economy.
Maintenance and patrol of the park would include routine inspections to remove trash and leftover dog deposits, as well as examining fence conditions.
Limke said these responsibilities would become part of the regular routine of the parks and recreation employees, and Jacksonville Animal Shelter would include the dog park among its routine Dupree Park patrol.
Limke said city pet ordinances prohibit untagged and vicious dogs from the park.
The same ordinances apply to the park as they do for a shelter, he said. When asked of foreseeable circumstances of pet abandonment, he said, Most abandoned pets are left at shelters, not at dog parks.
As for cleanliness, Limke said, Dog parks stay pretty clean. Theyre self-policed; people are generally responsible for cleaning up after their pets.
The growing popularity of dog parks nationwide keeps Limke optimistic about local enthusiasm.
Across the country, so many people live in apartments with dogs who have no room to run, he said.
These parks become a social environment. Its just as much for people as it is for dogs.
Before Limkes discussion, club president Thea Hughes announced a donation request to send a Jacksonville child to a five-day asthma camp in Little Rock in late July.
Members agreed by voice vote to donate $600, the amount given last year for the same cause.
Before adjourning, members expressed admiration and gratitude toward Jacksonville firefighters who volunteered time to reposition tombstones overturned at the vandalized Bayou Meto Cemetery.
