Holden narrates the story of The Catcher in the Rye while he is recovering from his breakdown. Do you think the promise of recovery that Holden experiences as he watches the carousel at the end of the novel has been fulfilled? Specifically, has Holden gained a more mature perspective on the events that he narrates?
It is possible that Holden is simply trying to recapture his original emotions and thoughts in his narration, and thus masking the fact that he has a more enlightened view regarding his behavior than he had during his escapades. But nothing he says seems to point to such irony on Holden's part. Although Holden narrates his story after it has already happened, he seems to have gained little perspective. He alludes to his present situation only twice—once at the beginning and once at the end of the novel—and he refuses to tell us much about it. Additionally, many of the personal characteristics that have been damaging to him—for example, his cynicism and his lack of introspection—are in fact more pervasive in his narration of his story than in the story itself. As a result, the story he tells is only partial; he often glides over moments of particular trauma or treats painful moments by pretending not to care.
Because Holden is an unreliable narrator, in order to understand his character it is necessary to look beyond his words at his behavior and his interactions with others, using the knowledge of his personality acquired from his narration and applying it to his actions in the story. For instance, when Holden tells about being beaten and robbed by Maurice, the elevator operator, he admits that he thought he was dying and fantasizes about being a movie hero and seeking his revenge. But he never describes how any of this makes him feel; his sole comment is that the "goddam movies" can ruin a person. Since we have learned from previous moments in the book that Holden is a deeply sensitive boy, we can look beneath the surface of his narrative to see the suffering it covers up. In this scene, we also see how self-conflicted Holden is: he claims to hate movies, but he turns to them in a moment of crisis. Because the relationship between the events that Holden narrates and his explanations of those events is so complex and contradictory, and because he is unwilling to discuss any part of his "recovery," nothing that Holden says suggests that he has really matured from his experiences.
What is the significance of the carousel in Chapter 25?
Holden's release at the end of his story comes as he watches Phoebe ride the carousel. There is an element of magic to the moment, as the carousel is operating even though it is wintertime. Holden mentions that Phoebe protests, arguing that she is too big to ride the carousel, but Holden knows that she wants to do it and he buys her a ticket. Holden, on the other hand, declines to ride, which shows him recognizing, if not accepting, his status as an adult.
In a way, the carousel is reminiscent of the statues in the Museum of Natural History, because, like them, it never changes. It continues to move in circles and always stays in the same pace; it stays the same while the children who ride it continue to grow older. It would seem, then, that the pleasure Holden takes in watching Phoebe ride is, like his moments at the museum and watching Phoebe sleep, self-deceptive.
But Holden does show some signs of growth. He comments: "All the kids kept trying to grab for the gold ring, and so was old Phoebe . . . but I didn't say anything . . . if they want to grab the gold ring, you have to let them do it . . . If they fall off, they fall off." Holden's pronouncement references his emendation of his "catcher in the rye" fantasy. Now he has come to terms with the idea that every child will eventually "fall"—out of innocence and into adulthood. Holden cannot prevent them from doing it or save them, just as he cannot prevent or save himself from becoming an adult. This recognition brings about a huge emotional release for him, and he begins to cry; the sky emulates him with a thunderstorm. Most of the other adults take refuge under the carousel's canopy, but Holden stays out in the rain. Whether we are meant to take this action as one of defiance or acceptance is, like the remainder of the novel's ending, unclear.
Though Holden never describes his psychological breakdown directly, it becomes clear as the novel progresses that he is growing increasingly unstable. How does Salinger indicate this instability to the reader while protecting his narrator's reticence?
Salinger uses two main techniques with great efficiency. The first is to emphasize a contrast between Holden's relatively casual description of his actions and the apparent desperation of the actions themselves. When Holden describes walking to the Central Park duck pond late at night, for instance, he casually mentions that he had icicles in his hair and worried about catching pneumonia, but he does not seem to consider it strange to walk outdoors with wet hair in freezing weather. It does seem strange to the reader, however, and Salinger uses that sense of strangeness, as well as Holden's apparent obliviousness to it, to emphasize his mental imbalance. His other technique is to provide alternative viewpoints in the other characters' responses to Holden's behavior as guidelines. For instance, when Holden has his meltdown with Sally and tries to persuade her to flee society and live with him in a cabin, she repeatedly asks him to stop shouting. In his account of the scene, Holden claims he wasn't shouting, but we believe Sally. Salinger uses her angry, fearful response to signal to the reader that Holden's mental state is worse than he admits or acknowledges.
1. Think about Holden's vision of the nature of childhood and adulthood. Are the two realms as separate as Holden believes them to be? Where does he fit in?
2. The novel is structured around Holden's encounters and interactions with other people. Does any pattern seem to emerge, or does anything change in his interactions as the novel progresses? How do Holden's encounters with adults, children, women, and his peers evolve as the novel progresses?
3. Throughout the book, Holden longs for intimacy with other human beings. Discuss the different types of relationships Holden attempts and the different types of intimacy in the book. What is the role of sexuality in The Catcher in the Rye? How do Holden's sexual relationships differ from his nonsexual encounters?
4. The most ambiguous encounter in the book is Holden's night at Mr. Antolini's apartment. What do you make of Mr. Antolini's actions? Was he making a pass at Holden? What is the significance of his actions, and how do they relate to his role as someone trying to prevent Holden from "taking a fall"?
5. Holden often behaves like a prophet or a saint, pointing out the phoniness and wickedness in the world around him. Is Holden as perfect as he wants to be? Are there instances where he is phony and full of hypocrisy? What do these moments reveal about his character and his psychological problems?
'The song "Comin' Thro' the Rye" asks if it is wrong for two people to have a romantic encounter out in the fields, away from the public eye, even if they don't plan to have a commitment to one another.'
I thought the 'Rye' referred to in Robert Burns' poem was the river Rye, hence the lines: 'Jenny's a wet poor body, Jenny's seldom dry'. In this regard it is about two people who meet at a river with no crossing, which will cause people to question why one of them is wet and what they have been doing.

Virginia lacrosse Coach Dom Starsia sticks to his methods in wake of tumultuous year
Friday, February 18, 2011; 11:52 PM
CHARLOTTESVILLE - In recent months, the members of the Virginia men's lacrosse team have sported blue rubber wristbands inscribed with the latin phrase "amat victoria curam." Loosely translated, that means "victory loves careful preparation," but the strict translation - "victory favors those who take pains" - might be more fitting.
The Cavaliers have taken many pains over the last 10 months as they've tried to move past the events of last May and focus on a 2011 campaign filled with national title aspirations. That path begins Saturday when Virginia hosts Drexel in its season opener.
For Coach Dom Starsia, the past year has included the death of his father, a health scare for his wife and the allegation that one of his players, George Huguely, murdered Yeardley Love, a member of the Virginia women's lacrosse program. Those events forced Starsia to evolve but not, he said, fundamentally change who he is or what he preaches.
His methods, for the most part, have proven true, and he sees no reason to amend them now.
"Going to college is about growing up," said Starsia, who has won three national titles at Virginia. "It's about learning to make decisions as a man. And for me, as the lacrosse coach, for all the years I've been doing this, to just say, 'Okay, here's the policy,' and to stick my head in the sand and think that it's being carried out exactly the way I mandated it is unrealistic. I was a college athlete. I know how these things work.
"And so throughout my career I've always, you know, the players are part of the process. They're part of the decision-making. And that hasn't changed."
Starsia's steadfastness stands in the face of the fallout from last spring, when Love's death led to public revelations of Huguely's history of misdeeds - which included drunkenly assaulting a police officer in Lexington, Va. - and of the eight Virginia men's lacrosse players who had been arrested for alcohol-related incidents (two were found not guilty) during their time at the school.
Many coaches who survived such a storm might have looked to assume more control over their teams. Starsia believes that would be doing an injustice to the players currently under his watch. In his mind, they deserve the same opportunities to mature and make their own decisions as those who came before them.
When asked whether the team's alcohol policy had been set for the 2011 season, Starsia said he believed it had, but he could not provide specifics.
"I'm not involved in the final decision part of that," Starsia said, echoing the hands-off approach he has taken throughout his coaching career. "My job is to provide the team with the rules for the university and the state and the [athletic] department, and we live by those rules. I know that the team has had a series of discussions amongst themselves about different standards that they're going to hold themselves to. I'm not part of those conversations because I want them to be able to figure it out for themselves."
Several Virginia players declined to reveal the exact outline of the alcohol policy the team chose to implement this season, though senior defenseman Bray Malphrus called it "the strictest, most stringent rule since I've been here."
"And that's by design," he added.

Geely has bought flying car hopeful Terrafugia
The Chinese giant has added another arrow to its quiver. And this one actually flies
Launch Pad: Tom Ford is in the wilds of Scotland to sample Bentley's newest offering, the gargantuan Mulsanne. It's a clean-sheet replacement for the ageing old girl that was the Arnage, and boasts a 505bhp 6.75-litre V8, an eight-speed auto, cylinder de-activation and a 2,200-watt NAIM audio system that's the most powerful fitted to a production car. It also costs a not-inconsiderable £220k. Got any questions as TopGear brings you news live from the launch?
See more pics of the big Bentley
Off to Edinburgh now to test the new Bentley Mulsanne. But first we're off to the airport and Bentley is sending a car. Currently taking bets on what it might be. I'm hoping for an Arnage Black Label so I can remember what I loved so much. But it could be a Phaeton. Or even a dark blue Passat estate with 200k on the clock. What do we reckon?
Just been driving the new Mulsanne on a gorgeous Scottish set of roads and have to say that I'm massively surprised. First up, I really wasn't keen on that front end treatment (big main lights the size of an outstretched hand, daylight running lights and indicators down and to the side), but in the metal and on the street they make a whole lot more sense. It's not a pretty car - don't get me wrong - but I suggest that it may not look quite so shocking once it's been around a few months.
See more pics from the Mulsanne's live launch
The rest is more instantly pleasing. It's a big thing, with lots of very solid design cues and when you see it in 3D, it really does have some street presence. And it's hugely colour- and wheel-sensitive - Bentley's two-tone paint scheme looks really good, and there are lots of 21-inch options for the wheels which change the entire exterior character at a stroke. There's a fine line between 'being a Bentley' and looking like retro pastiche, but I think this looks pretty good all told.
I also thought we'd be looking at premium waft rather than sportiness, but the Mulsanne is definitely tuned for driving as well as lounging. The steering's good, with some very trick hydraulic assistance, the ZF eight-speed 'box (see pic above) is smooth and intuitive, and the seriously re-jigged 6.75-litre V8 yanks the car along. It's all about torque, though: the car makes over 752lb ft of torque from 1,750rpm, but revs out at 4,500. So you kind of surf rather than go bananas on the dials.
And it feels much smaller when you press on, even when you're sighting down that mahoosive bonnet. It's also got the best stereo I think I've ever heard in a car - the 2200-watt Naim system might make power headlines, but the clarity and crispness of the delivery for everything from drum and bass to classical is nothing short of extraordinary. Was listening to Massive Attack's Blue Lines and stuff was being reproduced that I've never heard before. It's this and the Jag XJ's B&W system or nothing for me from now on.
Bad stuff? It's a bit quiet when you really hoof it (matter of taste), and tends to understeer further up the performance range - not in itself a problem, but it feels like it has grip, it's just not applying it properly. Also the throttle feels way too long when you apply it coming out of a corner - even in 'Sport' - so that the car feels late to accelerate. That makes it feel lardier than it needs to be, in my opinion.
And actually I keep just staring at the lights. With the chrome grill set it looks more cohesive, but is this a step too far? Aaaargh.
Was driving today with Dr Ulrich Eichhorn – he's Bentley's top engineer and member of the board – and we had a whale of a time talking about uber-geeky dynamics stuff. Of particular interest if the stuff they've done to the 6.75 V8 to get it to do what they want in terms of character, but still make it through the emissions legislation. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't feel when the cylinder shut-down system kicked in at cruise – basically the V8 only supplies fuel to four cylinders when below 2k rpm and not under load. At a cruise that gives you about eight per cent efficiency improvements, probably more like five overall.
And the engine's so torquey - it produces around 752lb ft from 1,750rpm - Bentley fits the tyres with a kind of glue so that they don't spin on the rim!
Still don't think the throttle is precise enough in 'Sport' mode, though - makes the car feel slow to react when actually there's a fair amount of hustle going on. We were going quite quick. We may have jumped. Uli's only reaction was to say - after a short period of stunned silence - "The damping's pretty good, hey?" If people like him are engineering a car, no wonder it's good.
Dinner: chats about China, more about Mulsanne. Had a good chat to Dr Paefgen (Bentley and Bugatti boss) and a few other board members – they all seem very excited about the Mulsanne. Have to broach the subject of the front-end treatment: suspect they may have had this conversation before. It takes a while – lots of chat about history – but I'm still not convinced. And I think I've worked it out: lights that big on a modern car look inefficient. And with the secondary set, a bit cross-eyed.
The proportions, surfacing, driving experience and badge can make this a Bentley – you don't always have to visually reference the old stuff to get people to understand the car. And it's been the big talking point ever since the car was released - which I don't think is a good thing. Anyway, anyone who can remember what the Bentley eight-litre looked like is dead. So referencing that 80-year-old car might be a bit of a stretch.
How about an alternative?

Missing those good people in my lifeGeorge Selvidge enriched my life
My extended family is lonesome these days, as we lost a dear man who has been in our lives for decades. Our Bernie was 85, but he never lost his sense of humor, his ready smile and hug, his interest in life and all it held.
Even when he didn't feel well, his bright spirit endured.
It was a habit of mine to say, whenever I greeted him, "I'm so glad to see you! It's always more fun when you're with us."
Well, it WAS more fun. This was a man with a happy disposition and deep interest in people of all ages. His closest friendships went back as far as first grade, but he enjoyed meeting new people, too.
When family members had occasion to celebrate, Bernie joyfully entered the celebration. He adored my cousin Carrie, affirming and encouraging her for over 30 years.
They took great trips and vacations, always building new memories. Bernie loved flowers and sunshine and being outdoors. His personality reflected his love of nature.
Bernie also had an abiding love of animals. When my beloved cat Benjamin died a year ago, Bernie understood my sorrow. Later, when Carrie's cat died, he was desolate.
Bernie loved life. He left behind countless friends and relatives who treasured him. I'll miss him a lot.
Then, a day or so after Bernie died, I learned of the death of another person important in my life--my high school journalism instructor, George Selvidge, the most influential of all my teachers. I stopped by to see him, but he was gone.
I chose journalism as a high school elective and loved working on our Edmonds High School paper, "The Wireless."
Mr. Selvidge encouraged my interest in writing and did all he could to steer me toward a career in journalism.
He was none too pleased when I decided on a degree in English and headed toward teaching junior high school.
A while back, Mr. Selvidge stayed in a West Seattle nursing home while he recuperated from surgery.
My daughter, a social worker there, discovered in conversation that he was at one time one of my teachers.
She asked permission to let me know he was there, and he asked her to invite me to visit him, which I did. It was great.
George Selvidge enriched my life. He caused me to think deeply, challenged me and taught me how to be a journalist, a writer.
When we visited at the nursing home, I told him that I think of him every time I write a column. I said I'd visit him again after he went home.
The thing is, I meant to do that. I put off the visit too long though—another harsh lesson in life, another reminder that treasured people leave us, too soon.

I've got some old mac files my grandad left behind when he passed away (letters, etc). My mom got rid of the computer and the software used to create them years ago. The documents are at least 10 years old and I'm having a great deal of difficulty identifying them. I've tried opening them with MacWrite Pro and MS word and failed. If I open as text only, I get a bunch of garbage, but the word "MacWorks" occasionally shows up. Is MacWorks a word processing program? If I somehow manage to obtain it, will it run in classic? Is there a program or technique for identifying what I software I need if it isn't MacWorks?
Thank you for your attention.
P.S. I attempted to attach an example.
How to identify old documents?

On the excellent advice of a helpful member, I dl'd FileTyper here and identified my documents as RLRB MSWK. A quick google search led me to a list of "File Type and Creator Codes" here, which makes them MS Works 4.0 documents. Now I just have to find MS Works, and I'm in business!

There is a Works 4.0 text converter in Microsoft's Word 98 Office Value Pack. I have Word 98 still, but have long lost this Office Value Pack. The Microsoft website is of no help. Any ideas?

I wound up finding MS Works 4.0 on Carracho. Problem solved.

Diver can hold middle ground for Derry
JOE Diver is no stranger to the frustration and heartbreak caused by injury.
The Bellaghy clubman has been forced to exercise patience in his bid to nail down a place in the Derry side but a towering performance against Donegal in the first round of the Ulster senior football championship earlier this month sends him into Saturday's Ulster semi-final against Fermanagh at Healy Park, Omagh (6.00) in good heart.
Diver has had his share of injury worries in the recent past but has now laid a firm claim to a regular slot in Paddy Crozier's side.
But he's certainly taking nothing for granted as he approaches Saturday's test against a Fermanagh side buoyed by that surprise win over fancied Monaghan last month.
"It was great to get past Donegal but we tended to make things hard for ourselves. I think we showed what we were made of in the second-half, though, and now we would be keen to hit the ground running against Fermanagh, " says Diver.
The Ernesiders, like Derry, are well served at midfield where Mark Murphy and Martin McGrath were outstanding against Monaghan with the latter deservedly claiming the man of the match accolade.
It was no great surprise when he subsequently was accorded the Tennent's Ulster GAA Writers' monthly merit award as well.
Diver has huge respect for Fermanagh and acknowledges that Malachy O'Rourke has helped to instill fresh belief in the side.
"I know that they will be very fired up and we are in for a huge battle. But that win over Donegal coming on the back of our National League triumph obviously gives us a major boost. The way in which the Ulster Championship has been panning out so proves that absolutely nothing can be taken for granted," adds Diver.
Manager Paddy Crozier, forced once again to do without the experience of veteran Sean Marty Lockhart in defence, nevertheless points to the fact that he was an eleventh-hour withdrawal from the game against Donegal because of 'flu. This time a quad muscle injury sidelines the Banagaher man.
"Sean Marty is a proven player and we would like to have him available but we have to go with what we have," he says.

Gaerek, the idea that most guns go south was debunked rather heavily when the methods the feds used in their study were revealed. They only ran checks on guns that were serialized according to US law. Once that was determined, IE that the sample checked were cherry picked from the Mexican bin of guns, the percentage dropped from over 90% to around 17%.
Then, look at all the M16 pattern weapons in use by the Zeta cartel. Let's see... who founded the Zetas? Oh, yeah - former Mexican Special Forces officers. Think they may have acquired some of their weaponry from Mexican Army armories?
Then, of course, the US supported sides in conflicts in Nicaragua and El Salvador for many years. I wonder why M16, M1 carbine, and 1911 pattern weapons might be in circulation?
Meanwhile, the former USSR had typically supported the other sides. Now where other than US gun stores and citizens could cartels get AK47 pattern guns?
China will sell weapons to anybody. Cheap.
NFA weapons from the US cost thousands. Would I, as a theoretical cartel guy, spend $6K on a pre-ban M16, or $150 on a black market Salvadoran M16? Hmmmm... tough one.
So, please explain your comment about most guns going south?

Sorry to not look through the entire thread but will a park 480 and a eflight 40amp esc work on a maxi swift? I have one pulled out of a ultamite with a very weak airframe and i have a ball with my swift 2( going to start a build thread soon on two more).
I think it would be a good combo. Probably a pretty powerful combo and would move it along fine with a 10x5e prop. I almost went that route, but wanted to keep the weight down, and have plans for my 480. So I bought one of these.
X2217/08 Brushless Outrunner - Comes with radial mount and prop adapter. Similar to speed 480, great for Park Flyers & 3D birds weighing 10-28 oz. SPECS:
# Voltage: 7.4-11.1V
# Current: 9-18A (18A @ 60 sec)
# Power: 220W+
# Shaft Diameter: 3.17mm
# Recommended Prop: 10x5 APC e @ 3s = 40.7 oz. thrust
11x5.5 APC e @ 2s = 27.85 oz thrust
# Weight: 2.5 oz.
From here http://www.eastrc.org/shop.cgi/page=...24647315.19989
It is not the best "pusher" motor out there, but it works fine for me. I was impressed with the motor and only used a 9x4.5 e prop on it. Will likely move up to a 10" prop this weekend. I want to climb a bit faster.
I got to fly mine just a little this weekend. Found out she will handle some big wind. 20MPH winds and she did very well. Also, the elevons seem much better after a week or two of just sitting around. Dunno why or how, but maybe that carbon tow gets stiffer with age, unlike other things Late in the day the winds calmed down and I got to take her up to the highest altitude yet. It was tiny and I have no clue how high it was, but it floated around for an eternity with little to no lift.
One of my favorite things to do with it so far though is land it at ultra slow speeds. It is pretty amazing how slow it flys and how soft it lands. And the launch is so simple too! But I kept tossing it up in the air and flying it around gaining some altitude, then bringing it in dead stick trying to spot land it. That is a blast. Difficult to hit the landing zone, but just a ton of fun to try to squeeze as much dead stick flight out of it as you can. The balance between bleeding off a little speed and keeping enough momentum to get to the zone is a challenge, but a lot of fun. Can't wait for a day with some good lift. I think I can get an hour flight + out of it.
So far I have run 6 packs through it, but still have only had 3 good flights and they weren't that long due to the time of day or the fact it was the maiden and I was tweaking and testing. I have flown it enough to know I like it though. It is going to be a fun plane and a regular at the field! It is an easy toss in the back of the SUV and go plane.
Not sure what servos you guys are using for the elevons, but I found the only way to get the best control at speed was bigger servos, I do have a strip of carbon along the TE of the elevon, but the surface is large and the smaller servos just dont have the torque.
I am now using std JR591 servos and have full control, not matter what speed
I've always run standard full size servos in mine, and have had weak authority issues in the past, it's a real problem, I've seen it.
I think it's more complicated than just an inapropriate servo selection issue.
I just stumbled on this Youtube video that shows very well what a pleasure it is to fly these floaty wings.

Hahahaa, yes it does. That was funny, he was having problems getting it to land! I love landing the MS, it's cake. But he had some wind to deal with which changes the game just a bit. I have to agree, the softness of the EPP is what really makes the handling a challenge. I didn't use standard size, but used HS65MGs which have plenty of torque for these elevons. Tomorrow should be an almost perfect flight day. My goal, lots of MS flights along with the new FVK Graphite!! I hope we have some good lift tomorrow!
I went out to the Henderson Flying field here in NC this weekend with Fred Midgett of Higher Plane productions, and while we were there he shot a vid of me flying the Maxi Swift and someone else shot a video of him flying the MS in combat mode with a hover disk.. The MS won You can see how to sign up for the FREE VIP area from HPP in this post.
Videos are large!! But are also very high res. Sorry to say I stalled the thing (camera shy) when I was buzzing around the field. Not a bad video over all though if you want to see what the maxi is like doing some gentle floating and being thrown around a little. You can also go here and see more pics from our day at Henderson.
Starts at post 378.
Hi Diggs,
I don't think I could stall mine if I tried, nicely done Sir...and with a camera rolling.
I just requested access to HPP, so I'll have wait to see the videos.
Great to hear your having fun.
With a bit of luck, I should get to slope soar the Maxi for the first time tomorrow.
Hahaha, the last thing I said on the vid is I stalled the unstallable plane Yeah, I dunno how I managed that, and It was captured on video to boot. I also dumped it during one of the slow fly-bys because I thought for sure I was going to run into someone on the field.
Again, I can't figure out why there is no traction on this wing here on RCG. It is a really fun wing and IMO one of if not the best for a wing newb and lots of fun for an experienced wing flyer. Oh well, hopefully this most recent episode of ATTF and the coverage from Fred will boost it a bit. He had a lot of fun flying it around and was amazed at how easy it is to fly and how SLOW it would go.
Great videos, Fred sure does excellent work, both as a camera man and as a black-hearted combat pilot (the way he destroyed that harmless little balloon thingy was too funny).
The owner didn't look impressed, which just made it even funnier...sorry, that's mean, but it was pretty funny.
Some impressive low flying there Diggs, nice skills.
I like to edit my own videos, so I can take out the stuff that makes my flying look "less than perfect", (that explains why my videos are just a series of short clips, never more than a few milli-seconds long).
As Diggs said, you'll have to request site access, and they may take a few of minutes to download with a slow connection, but do yourself a favour and watch some quality RC videos, instead of the usual youtube rubbish (with the exception of my videos and Ildefonso's clips, naturally) .
And you get access to dozens of other videos for free.

I just got back from my first slope soaring adventure with the Maxi.
I went with half a dozen locals, who generously showed me how it was done. Without them, there is NO WAY I would have launched.
At first I just watched them, secretly thinking to myself, "this was a really bad idea".
The wind was strong and kept changing direction, and we were so very high up (almost 1000 feet), standing on the edge of the cliff gave me an unpleasant feeling (vertigo)....oh dear.
These guys expect me to throw my beloved Maxi off this cliff, not having any real idea what it might do ?

Slope soaring part 2
It came as a surprise to me, when after about 15 minutes of watching, I found myself thinking "this sort of looks like fun".
So I went back to the car and grabbed my gear.
Nobody else was flying anything like a Maxi, the others had "serious" looking machines, all sleek and sexy. But my buddy said the Maxi would do well, so.....
I threw it off the cliff.
I probably should know by now, that Maxis are very competent and forgiving wings.
So I shouldn't have been surprised that it handled the slope with ease (it does everything else with a relaxed attitude, so why not this ?).
The Maxi took about 5 seconds to show me that we, in fact, can do this "slope soaring" thing.
I still had the motor on the Maxi, just in case, and I did use a few times, even though I probably didn't need to...I've still got a lot to learn.
I have to admit that it's not the best plane for slope soaring, as it doesn't retain energy very well, when you turn it away from the cliff it looses almost all it's momentum, but it's never in danger of stalling. The other planes were flying rings around it, but that's OK, I was just learning, and I wouldn't have wanted any other plane to learn on.
It slowed everything down, and gave me the time I needed to learn.
The good old familiar and forgiving Maxi, did very well.
Towards the end of the flight I was attacked by a very angry hawk, I have a lot of time for hawks, they're magnificent creatures, so I don't mind if I loose a little EPP to one of them, every now and then.
I stayed up for about 40 minutes, but could have stayed up for 40 days if the Lipo had enough power.
Had a great time, and although I'm already looking for a better slope soarer, the Maxi was perfect for a total noob like me.
After I landed, a mate put up his Swift II (with motor still attached), and it was very impressive. It did better than the Maxi, mainly because it took better advantage of the lift, and he was able to throw it around with ease.
He did however get attacked by 2 Perigrine Falcons.
Now that's something you don't see every day, they get up high, fold in their wings, and fall like a rock and try to smash your plane out of the sky.
Sorry, no video, we were enjoying the show too much.

I ordered up my maxi swift. Getting ready to order up some hardware.
Anyone flying spektrum?
Trouser, left you a pm.
Thanks, I just responded.
Good luck with your new toy.
AR7000 or other "full range" reciever, as it's constantly flying in the stratosphere.

Driving by my newly remodeled McDonald's restaurant in Prescott Valley AZ discovered I had a sudden craving for a quarterpounder which I hadn't had in years. Went through newly designed drive up, paid $5.35 for the burger and a small order of fries. To my dismay the bun was hard, the meat flat and dry; not at all like the quarterpounder I remember, thick and juicy and quite satisfying. Well anyway that took care of my craving; don't think I will be visiting again.

The Pious of Wall Street Pray for a Reprieve From the 'Evil' Israeli Draft Law
Some 50,000 ultra-Orthodox Jews attended Sunday's 'Great Prayer Assembly' in New York to bolster their 'embattled brethren' in Israel in advance of the upcoming Knesset vote on the controversial legislation.
The scene was completely surreal: A crying cantor beseeching the Lord in Yiddish-accented Hebrew to hear his prayers; high-octane loudspeakers amplifying...

The official Ohio High School Athletic Association calendar said the 2012-13 basketball season started Nov. 23, but don't tell that to Columbia.
For the Raiders it really started back on Feb. 25. That was the date that a Columbia team that ended the regular season with a 2-18 record pulled off a shocker, upsetting No. 1 seed and defending state semifinalist Elyria Catholic, 42-38, in the Division III sectional finals.
With that one win the Raiders cast aside a season they would rather forget and set the stage for a return to the top of the Patriot Athletic Conference Stripes, a division Columbia won in 2009 and 2010.
Of course, no season is the same, and while the Raiders hope to use last year's upset as a springboard to success, EC obviously remembered that game, as well, and handed Columbia a 71-24 thrashing in a regular-season rematch Wednesday.
Still, the three players that accounted for 36 of Columbia's 42 points in last year's win — Christine Lyzen, Jenna Guth and Kaley Marshall — are all back for their senior year and expecting big things.
"Beating Elyria Catholic gave us so much confidence going into this year because it showed us what we were capable of," said Marshall, a 5-foot-7 guard who earned an honorable mention spot on the All-Lorain County team after averaging 11.4 points and 5.2 rebounds last year.
For Guth, the point guard, the win was about more than momentum going into a long offseason, it was also a much-needed boost of confidence going into her senior year.
"All of our coaches told us we could beat Elyria Catholic if we just put our minds to it," she said. "When we beat them we were so happy, but it also put into our heads that we can have a really good team if we just put our mind into it."
The team worked hard in the offseason and came into preseason practice with a renewed sense of purpose and discipline, Guth said.
"This season everyone wants to work harder so that we will have a better record and go even further in the tournament," Guth said. "That means we have to work on the little things like free throws and layups and taking things more serious and not goofing off in practice.
"We lost a lot of games last year because of the little things. We are committed to being a really good team this year and not letting that happen again."
The Raiders are an experienced team with seven returning letterwinners. However, one familiar face that won't be on the bench is longtime coach Larry Babics, who took over the boys team. Veteran assistant Ken Marlette is the new Raiders coach.
Marlette, who was an assistant at Columbia for the past six seasons, said it's been a smooth transition for himself and his team.
"We're not going to scrap all the things that have worked in the past," Marlette said. "We have won four sectional championships over the past six seasons and while our record last year was bad, we were in a lot of close game until the end."
Lyzen isn't worried about whose calling the shots on the sidelines because she'll be too busy taking the shots on the court. The 5-foot-8 inch small forward hit 45 3-pointers a year ago, an average of more than two a game, including four in the win over the Panthers.
Lyzen, whose 9.9 points and 6.3 rebounds per game averages were good enough to earn her a spot on the All-PAC and All-Lorain County Division III teams, said knowing this is her final year to play alongside Marshall and Guth, as well as Shelby Stedronsky, another senior who will come off the bench — brings an added urgency to this season.
"Being a senior, it's your last year, so it's all or nothing now," Lyzen said. "So, yeah, there is a little added pressure to really do your best. You only get one chance to play high school basketball so it's really exciting."
Guth, an All-PAC honorable mention selection a year ago, still remembers the feeling she had last February and is ready to do whatever it takes to build more positive memories in her final high school season.
"The (Elyria Catholic) game was the best game I've ever played in my high school career," she said. "It was really surprising and exciting, like you wouldn't believe it but it actually happened. I want to put 110 percent into every game and everything I do this year because it's probably the last time I will be playing competitive basketball. I want to have that feeling again."
Game time change
The Columbia girls varsity game versus Oberlin on Wednesday, Dec. 12, has been moved up to 7 p.m.
There will be no JV game.

Steve Reinprecht remembers it well.
So, too, do fellow Calgary Flames Stephane Yelle and Ville Nieminen.
It was 2001 when all three helped the Colorado Avalanche rally to win Games 6 and 7 and claim the Stanley Cup over New Jersey.
Only three other teams in NHL history have accomplished such a feat -- coming back from a 3-2 deficit in the final.
"Nothing like that has even been thought about, really," said Flames centre Steve Reinprecht during yesterday's off-day at the Saddledome. "That was three years ago -- this is now. This year is what our focus is on."
Yet the experience of the playoff veterans has always proved such a powerful source from which to draw in this Stanley Cup run.
"They haven't said too much," said Flames rookie playoff performer Chris Clark of the 2001 champs. "But I'm sure we'll hear a lot before the game."
"You know what?" Reinprecht said. "It's been a long playoff year and we've been up 3-2 in all the series, so I think we know all the predicaments. I mean ... in Vancouver in Game 7, (the Canucks) tied it up in the last five seconds.
"I don't think guys are taking anything for granted."

The association of fundraising Paulette V.Maehara says that it is not ethical for a person to take more compensation then the percent that the non profit makes. Since world Clown of America dues of 30$ how can the vendors sell face paints for 150$ or costumes for 800$? You used the NfL as an example of a non profit. First of all I looked it up and most people are furious that they are a non profit . So this will not help your stand. It will make them agree with me. Second of all they are employees . People do not like to be ripped off. If they are helping a non profit like a school they want there money to go for the good of the kids. This is the problem non profits are not about personal profits.

This is Not a statement of good standing

SUBMITTED: Thursday, July 17, 2014POSTED: Thursday, July 17, 2014
I again went and looked at De corporation about World clown association and it reads ''This is not a statement of good standing.'' You would have to pay 20$ as I have done already to see that World clown association was forfited in 1989. Did you do that, I did? Now you can go to CA corporation search and find World clown association and it says Forfeited in 1989 without paying the fee. Now about working states, I was a corporation and we could not advertise or work in any state except the one we had are corporation in. That means all activitys were to be held there only. This word is domestic and if the corporations are working other states it says jurisdiction, which means extend of authority. It is my personal opinion that World clown association is forfeited still in DE and that people are confusing This is not a statement of good standing for a corporation certificate. Again I am not an attorney so I have turned it over to the proper federal authorities to research. But non profit, charity, not for profit the common goal is the association is to make money for the cause and not for private gain.That is called tax evasion or possible fraud.See all the people who support such causes think the money is going for the good of the cause not in someones pocket.All ducks need to be in a row. Why does Guide star have NC as the corporation location.? None of this holds water!!! And I do not see them as having authority to work in all the states as they have.

You might wanna recheck with Deleware. According to what I found they are currently registered with Deleware.
A Corporation does not have to register in every state. They only have to register where their business is physically conducted. There is a good article about that at:
(((link redacted)))
They are registered in Deleware. Business is conducted through an independent contractor (Chd Management LLC - Which is registered in Indiana) so they do not have to register with indiana.
As far as the others you mention. I think you are getting confused about what a non-profit is vs a charitable non-profit. A non-profit can be a whole range of things. A non-profit is an organization that the net-profits do not benifit any individual or stock holder. These types of non-profts donations are not tax deductable but are still considered non-profits under 501(c). There are 29 types of non-profits.
you should read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/501(c)_organization
The NFL is a 501(c)(6) non-profit but the individual teams are for profit. Does this mean the NFL is wrong. No a non-profit can have for profit vendors.
Charity non-profit and non-profit is not the same thing.

Deanna Hartmier the president of World clown association is co owner to Laughter without borders not Clowns without borders.Laughter without borders is a company in Canada. I was not able to find a corporation for this company.
Clowns without borders is a non profit in VA.There is also a Clowns without borders listed in CA it does not say its foreign so I think they are not the same company.Clowns without Borders in Va says since it is'' humanitarian it is not there to promote professinal career or not use humanitarian work for publicity purposes to promote his ,her professinal career". I believe in my personal opinion this message has been lost in the clown field generally speaking. Two many people are crossing the lines from profit and non profit. I am not saying it is wrong to go professinal. But it is wrong in my opinion to mix the two. When you are non profit all should be working for the good of the cause . Not for personal gain.

World Clown Association Scam
AUTHOR: Saralyn - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, June 23, 2014POSTED: Monday, June 23, 2014
You say you are a Indiana company managed by CHD management in Indiana.I looked on the Indiana search on line and World Clown Association is not listed there. Now Chd management has a domestic LLC in Merrillville IN. so how does that allow them to run a non profit in every state? Now I am not an attorney but as a consumer I ask these questions. First domestic means belonging to ones place of residence. This does not cover foreign which is all other states. I was told they would need to be listed as such in every state. Then there is the problem that there is no World clown association listed in any state. Not DE were it was originally forfeited. Another term that is defined as losing the right.Not listed in Carolina as Guide star post. In fact the IEN numbers on Guide star and Chd mangement do not even match up. So for what I can tell there is no World clown Association any place it does not exist in name. So is it the name is Forfeited for wrong doing!!!!!!!
Now lets talk about Deanna Hartmier President of World clown . She is listed owner of California Clown Campin domain. And co owner of another company Clowns without Borders. California Clown Campin is not a non profit but a for profit business. Is this not a conflict of interest? She has a direct line to all clowns who want to learn the business for her personal gain. Then she tells the press'' there is not enough clowns .!!'
'Then of course most of the 16 staff at Moosebuger camp are World clown association leaders to cover her 100 students at 1,000 $ a head. Again she is a for profit business. I was taught when you teach a school for 6 days and have teachers scheduled that makes them employees not friends as she says. Friends pay friends and not use them for free when you make this kind of money on a class. And the whole idea of her teaching it at a Catholic Church retreat is just plain not ethical in my head.I see that the retreat does not list them up on there schedule. WHY? So in any of these organizations are they teaching you to follow laws when they teach business. You can think that Clowns are just this non profit good hearted group. Well I can assure you that Moosebuger is making tons of money selling her 250$ costumes in all nations. They are selling inport make up and other supplies also. Now these are just my personal opinions since I am not an attorney so I have turned all these opinions over to the proper authorities who are, to make these decisions. For myself I would not have these people teach me or be proud of having my name linked with such a scam that makes no sence. Nothing seems to follow the laws in my personal opinion.It all looks like a big scam in my head.

Did you pay for the report 20 dollars and see the Delaware corp was forfited? We did, we have a copy of the paper.As about guide star as you can see they can post anything up there. You treasure said it was in N C , and it is not.About working in other states, yes you can have a corp in one state but you have to have a default in all other states.To show they can work all states. None of this holds water this is my personal opinion.

World Clown Association is registered in good standing with Delaware (I just checked this morning). They are a 501(c)6 with the IRS (according to 2011 tax reports from guidestar.com) It looks like the address on the tax forms are in North Carolina where the treasurer is. The 'office' is in Indiana run by CHD Management (which is registered in Indiana) While the WCA is not registered in Indiana I did call the Indiana secretary of state,and they told me not all outside companies need to be registered.
(IC 23-17-26-1) Looking at this I think they could fall under Section 1(b)4 - Maintaining offices or agencies for the transfer, exchange, and registration of memberships.

EU Says Motorola's Patent Pursuits Are Abusive
Article Comments
You sure they are not talking about Apple inc.?
Wow! If I didn't read the names of the companies I would have been sure they were talking about Apple inc. Apple is the one who has been throwing lawsuits left and right on virtually every tech company out there. And Motorola is the one that got spanked by the EU. Smells like someone greased up a judges pocket. So much for freedom of innovation.

Reviewed at the 2012 South by Southwest Film Festival
Nicholas Barclay was 13 years old when he disappeared from San Antonio, Texas in 1994. His family wept, and searched, and held out hope. Three years and four months later, they got a call. Their Nicholas had been found, alone and without identification, in Spain. When they brought him back, no one seemed to think it all that strange that his hair had changed color. Or that his eyes had too. Or that he had a bad case of five o'clock shadow. Or that he suddenly spoke with a French accent.
The man who came back to Texas wasn't their son at all, of course; his name was Frédéric Bourdin, and he was a 23-year-old French con artist. "I wanted to be someone else," he explains in Bart Latyon's gripping documentary The Imposter. "Someone who was acceptable... I was reborn. I was born again."
Layton's interest falls into three areas: how he did it, why he did it, and how he got away with it. To explain them, he utilizes thriller-style reconstructions and a stylized approach that (as most reviews thus far have noted) often recalls Errol Morris. But it's not just a surface similarity; Layton shares the filmmaker's fascination with pauses, with faces, and with garbled technology. He has an eye for big open spaces, and an ear for regional speech patterns. And he clearly has a gift for sussing out a story that seems too good to be true.
He talks to the key players--Bourdin, Barclay's family, various officials who probably should have been a bit more perceptive. The man who finally smelled a rat proves the picture's most memorable character: Charlie Parker, a shambling, suspendered private investigator who's handed an entrance most movie stars would give their eye-teeth for (behind the wheel of a Cadillac, accompanied by late-period Johnny Cash).
Layton's pacing is often slow and deliberate in the early scenes, and for good reason--he's walking us through exactly how these seemingly incredible events occurred, and making clear exactly what happened when. As Bourdin's ruse starts to unravel, Layton pulls the film taut; having earlier juxtaposed interviews for comic effect, he crosscuts between them to create suspense in later scenes, as participants recall putting the pieces together and realizing the impossible. The final quarter or so of the film tosses all of our expectations up in the air--where is this going? What else is going on? And how could it possibly resolve itself?
When the story breaks, Layton shows Sam Donaldson reporting it on television, and posing the most prudent objection: "It's hard to imagine how he could've gotten away with it." As Donaldson's words hang in the air, the camera holds wordlessly on the faces of those involved. It is hard to imagine. But The Imposter is not just an interesting story of a clever hustler. It digs into the psychology of not just creating a lie, but believing one--and choosing to continue to believe one, long past the point of good common sense. And that's when it gets really interesting.
Jason lives with his wife Rebekah and their daughter Lucy in New York. He holds an MA in Cultural Reporting and Criticism from NYU. He is film editor for Flavorwire and is a contributor to Salon, the Atlantic, and several other publications.

text: Spike don't be so judgmental! perhaps you have never watched the TV program NEXT? Obviously Capstick has strong opinions about something he very clearly knows nothing about. Yet everyone continues to defend a position (and get their blood pressures up!) that doesn't need defending! Hunting on farms is what it is. Canned hunting is what it is - distasteful as it may seem to some. Capstick should just go and hunt Tanzania or the open areas of Botswana or Zim if SA is not to his liking. However, I do find it a bit strange for a Brit self professed and qualified PH and Guide (Gamekeeper?) to be so critical when bonny Englands 'farm's are postage stamp size by comparison to anything in Africa at all. What they call farms in the UK, we call urban plots! How and what would you 'Guide' or 'PH' there? I do enjoy the discourse but NEXT!!! Thanx Docman!

Mother of accused infant killer testifies in Vancouver
The B.C. Coroners Service and police investigate after a baby was found dead in between two homes in Vancouver, April 2, 2009. (CARMINE MARINELLI/ 24 HOURS)
A Vancouver woman charged with murder in relation to the deaths of her two babies appeared in court for the first day of her trial Monday.
Sarah Jee Wah Leung was 24 when she was charged with two counts of second-degree murder in 2010.
The court heard how Leung's father found her first child in a plastic bag at their family home on Charles Street on April 2, 2009, a day after the infant's birth.
The body of a second baby, born in March 2010, might never be recovered from a landfill gravesite, according to police, who added no one knew she was pregnant.
Leung, who arrived at court in a grey hoodie and black jacket, sat silently as her mother testified. Earlier she was released on a $200,000 bail under conditions that included not having sex.
Leung's mother cannot be named because of a court-ordered ban, but she described — through a translator — a family where both parents worked seven days a week.
She rarely spoke with her daughter outside of dinnertime, with the exception of Christmas, when Leung's mother would have time off from her landscaping business to be with her daughter, the court heard.
She recalled a time when her daughter was heartbroken after a break-up with the man who fathered the deceased children, but otherwise she rarely brought boys home.
In the year leading up to the birth of the first child, the mother didn't notice any physical changes in her daughter, the court heard.
"I didn't notice anything," she said. "She has always been so quiet, went to work and then come back — nothing special."
Most days her daughter was also away — working as an assistant or front-desk receptionist at a Vancouver physiotherapy office — and she never really questioned where she would go on weekends when she wasn't at home.
"Because she's such a big girl I trusted her a lot. I wanted her to learn to make her own decisions as to what to do."
The trial is scheduled for about a month.

On the welfare equivalence of asset markets and banking in Diamond Dybvig economies
Why do people choose bank deposit contracts over a direct participation in asset markets? In their seminal paper, Diamond and Dybvig's (1983) answer this question by claiming that bank deposit contracts can implement allocations that are welfare superior to asset markets equilibria. The present paper demonstrates that this claim is false whenever the asset market participants are highly rational.

" Manufacturer: Breville "
After having our previous kettle for a year, it unfortunately went on the brink and started to not "click" when the water boiled, meaning you had to watch it and click it off yourself, making it a bit of a hazzard as it would then overheat if you didn't catch it in time.
Despite this, the kettle was a filtered kettle and so when purchasing a new kettle we wanted one that also had a water filter in it, as the area we live in is prone to Limey water, hence it's really a neccessity if you want the best tasting tea!
We had a hunt around for a filtered kettle, preferably a Brita one because although our previous britta kettle didn't last the test of time, it still made for a delicious cuppa so hopefully a different model would give us less problems. After hunting around, we found one in Argos for £32.99, which for something you will likely use several times a day is pretty good value. Argos also have an offer on at the minute, whereby if you buy this kettle you will get a free cartridge included in the pack, nice!
So, onto our first cup of tea. Well after filling it up as like similar kettles, it takes about 30 seconds to filter through into the base, but as the plastic is translucent you can see when this has completed and then you click on the switch, which is illuminated in blue. Once the kettle has boiled the light then flicks off which is helpful, and would be particularly useful to those with say hearing difficulties who might not always hear the kettle click off.
I have to say whether you make a pot of tea or if you just make tea in a cup it is thoroughly delicious, and you can really taste the difference, even in comparison with our old kettle which was also a filtered kettle. It is also not too heavy, as it is made from a light but sturdy plastic material, and also has a blue illumination whilst the kettle is boiling, which looks pretty cool in the evening when you can appreciate it's full effect.
There is a guide on the side to how much water you have put in, and how many cups this would make. The maximum is just above 6 cups, and the time the kettle takes to boil with a maximum amount of water in, is 97 seconds, so about a minute and a half (yes I really did just go and time that!).
I think one of the best features about this kettle, besides it's fantastic filtering capabilities, is it's design. I have read a few other reviews on kettles, and some people commented on the fact the kettle doesn't match the rest of the utilities in the kitchen. As this kettle is silver, black and light bluey colour, it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb against your other appliances, infact it blends in well in our kitchen and looks rather swish.
It may not be the most expensive, advance kettle out there, but if your someone who is after a decent tasting cuppa thats been filtered, made in a kettle that wouldn't look out of place in a mobile disco and thats not to heavy to pick up, and is under £35, this is the kettle for you!
Breville VKJ149 Brita Filter Kettle in Silver One of the latest additions to the range is a stunning silver model that not only looks good but its large easy-view water window also features Breville illumination that illuminates blue on stand-by and changes to red as it boils. 1 litre boiling capacity 3kW concealed fastboil element Large easy view water window 360 degree base Cord storage and non-slip feet Filters using Brita Maxtra filter technology for a cleaner tasting cuppa Boils and filters at the same time Blue illumination on boil Brita memo indicates when to replace cartridge Free Maxtra cartridge included

The same position could be used to argue against higher-order types. All higher-order programs can be reduced to first-order programs by firstification (encoding functional arguments as data values, which are then interpreted).

Angela W.wrote a review of Sorel Suka Boot - Women's on June 13, 2010
mean as boots
These boots are solid build with a big fat removable insole to keep your feet high off the ground and also to dry them out quicker, though I found they were getting wet in the inside not from water seeping in but from my own sweaty feet because they keep your feet soooo toasty.
I thought they ran on the large size and were too roomy for my narrow foot, so I added a sheepskin insole as well, and I still have loads of room in them.
I couldn't believe the value for money, I can tell these are going to wear for years and years to come, they are so well put together and clearly built for hard wear.
I'm stoked!!

Home Remedies for Sun Tan
Sun tanning is a process whereby skin creates the brown –coloured pigment called melanin due to excessive exposure to the harmful UV rays of the sun. We at My Health Guardian has come up with some easy home remedies to detan your sunburns.
How can you soothe your sun tanned skin
If you have been out in the sun and your skin has turned red which stings as well, then you need to do immediate measures to relieve the burning sensation of the skin. Any kind of irritation in the body is acidic in nature and you got to turn it alkaline, which will help soothe the skin itch.
- The products available at home that work well in soothing the skin are aloe vera gel, bruised peeled uncooked potato, grated cucumber and grated lauki. Cover the affected area for some time with any of it and let it rest for twenty minutes. Wash off with cold water, you will feel instant relief.
- Another good way to baby your hurt skin is to put a cup of baking soda in bath water and slip in it to heal the sun tanned skin.
- Rose water with a drop of lavender oil eases the sting out of your sun tanned skin. You can also try cold water splashes.
- Make a compress with milk and use it on your skin to relieve the burning sensation.
How can you remove sun tan?
Your skin increases melanin production as defensive mechanism to fight the UV rays of the sun. Naturally, it will develop pigments or brown patches on the skin. Tanning doesn't go off soon. This means you should get facial and bleaches done at your beauty parlour more regularly.
- Mashed papaya helps de tan your skin. Pulp a cube sized fruit and add some honey to it. Apply it on your face and then wash it off.
- Make a pack with fuller's earth, lemon juice and calamine lotion. Use it every other day and your tanned skin will soon be history.
- Use cod liver oil or Aloe Vera gel enriched with vitamin A and E to heal your skin.

Welcome to RTI India - Complete Online Community Portal for Right to Information
You can file RTI application for the purpose.
Your RTI application has to be as per the Central Govt. RTI rules and fees.Please see:
RTI Application For Central Govt Info (by JPS 50 Sir):
Your RTI Application needs to be addressed to the Central Public Information Officer (CPIO)
The IT department has designated ALL assessing officers (ITO/AC) as CPIO's.Your assessing officer (ITO or AC) of your ward/circle is the CPIO, the same assessing officer to whom you submitted your IT return wherein you claimed refund.
You can directly file a RTI application with him accompanied by a IPO of Rs. 10.00 payable to "Accounts Officer".
AND for help in framming your RTI application please see the blog/s of JPS 50 Sir
1. https://www.rtiindia.org/forum/blogs/...tml#comment255
2. https://www.rtiindia.org/forum/blogs/...ding-govt.html
Please see guide segment RTI Guide it has a lot of information about drafting a RTI application, fees, mode of payment, how to submit,how to locate PIO etc.
RTI procedure is :
1. RTI Application with Fee to PIO
2. If no reply/ not satisfied with reply in 30 (or 35 days in case of submission to APIO or under Section 6(3)),
First Appeal to the First Appellate Authority (normally a officer higher than the PIO)
3. If no reply/ not satisfied with reply in 45 days to the First Appeal, then Second Appeal to the CIC/SIC (time period is 90 days)
Possibly this info will be of good help to you
Revert back if you still have any doubts, members will definately help you out .
Which Income Tax officer has jurisdiction over you? What is the address registered when you applied for PAn? If your address as per income tax recored is from Delhi, Gurgaon ITO will not be able to process your return and grant your refund claim. She will have to get the case transferred to herself.
Anyway, an RTI querry with the officer whom you submitted the return will at least make the picture clear.
I have recieved the refund cheque, but lost it. How do I get a duplicate cheque or the money directly debited to my account?
