Simon Ramsay, 16th Earl of Dalhousie
Simon Ramsay, 16th Earl of Dalhousie, KT, GCVO, GBE, MC, DL (17 October 1914 – 15 July 1999), styled The Honourable Simon Ramsay between 1928 and 1950, was a British land owner, Conservative politician and colonial governor.
Background and education[edit]
Ramsay was the second son of Arthur Ramsay, 14th Earl of Dalhousie and Lady Mary Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby, sixth daughter of Gilbert Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby, 1st Earl of Ancaster.[1] He was educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford. He served in the Black Watch during the Second World War, gaining the rank of Major, and was awarded the Military Cross for bravery during the Allied invasion of Sicily. In 1950 he inherited the title after his older brother John Gilbert Ramsay, the 15th Earl died without marrying.
Public life[edit]
In 1945, Ramsay was elected as the Unionist Member of Parliament for Forfarshire and served until 1950 when he succeeded as Earl of Dalhousie and Chief of Clan Ramsay on the death of his brother. Between 1946 to 1948 he served as a Conservative whip. He was appointed Governor-General of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in 1957, and served until 1963 when the federation broke up, with Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland becoming independent Zambia and Malawi respectively while Southern Rhodesia returned to its status as a self-governing colony. He refused to renew his commission with the Colonial Service after being forced to read the controversial 1963 speech from the throne prepared by Sir Roy Welensky who was highly critical of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's policies to gradually end White rule in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Shortly after he left politics altogether and retired to his estate. Ironically, he disliked politics and never made his maiden speech in the House of Lords, only taking his place in 1978.[2]
In 1953, Dalhousie was awarded an honorary degree by Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, which had been founded in 1818 by the 9th Earl. He served as Lord Chamberlain to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (1965-1992), Lord-Lieutenant of Angus (1967–1989) and Chancellor of the University of Dundee (1977–1992), with the institution naming a significant building after him in September 2008.[3] He was a Lieutenant of the Royal Company of Archers, the monarch's bodyguard in Scotland and was created a Knight of the Order of the Thistle by Queen Elizabeth II in 1971.
Lord Dalhousie married Margaret Stirling of Keir (died 1997), daughter of Brigadier-General Archibald Stirling of Keir, a Member of Parliament, and a granddaughter maternally of the 13th Lord Lovat, in June 1940. They had three sons and two daughters. His third child and eldest son James inherited the title upon his death.
- Lady Elizabeth Anne Ramsay (b. 16 Sep 1941), married to the late Richard Lumley, 12th Earl of Scarbrough, four children
- Lady Sarah Mary Ramsay (b. 18 Oct 1945), married to Sir John Chippendale "Chips" Lindley Keswick, three sons
- James Hubert Ramsay, 17th Earl of Dalhousie (b. 17 Jan 1948), married Marilyn Davina Butter, three children
- Hon. Anthony Ramsay (b. 2 Mar 1949); firstly married to Georgina Mary Astor (daughter of Michael Astor), 1 son; secondly married to Vilma Salcedo, 2 daughters
- Hon. John Patrick Ramsay (b. 9 Aug 1952), married to Louisa Jane d'Abo (a granddaughter of John Manners, 9th Duke of Rutland), two children

From sinus infections to cancer prevention we're tracking what's going around and what you need to know to stay healthy. In this week What's Going Around we're focusing on cervical cancer and screenings.
Dr.Andrea Tribastone (of forest lakes family medicine is providing our medical information. She says cervical cancer is a cancer of the lower portion of uterus.
Symptoms can include abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, pain during sex, and abdominal mass, but in the early phases of the disease it often has no symptoms.
Tribastone says a majority of cases are caused by infection with certain strains of the Human Papilloma Virus or HPV.
Risk factors include smoking, high risk sexual behaviors, prolonged use of birth control pills, and an immune deficiency such as HIV.
When it comes to prevention, Dr. Tribastone recommends pap smear screenings, an HPV vaccine for women 9-26 years old and condoms to reduce the risk of getting HPV.
Tribastone says pap smear screenings should start at age 21 and how often you have have one all depends on your age.
The pap smear works by identifying possible pre-cancerous changes on the cervix and allowing for prevention or early treatment.

PLEASANT PRAIRIE, Wis. (WSAU) - A Wisconsin couple face child endangerment charges after leaving their child inside a hot car in Libertyville Illinois.
The couple was shopping inside a sex toy store when they left their 9 month old son in the car without the air conditioning on. When the child was found, he was overheated and crying, but did not suffer any long term injury.
The couple, a 18 year old man from Kenosha and 20 year old woman from Pleasant Prairie told police they left the child in the car because no one under the age of 18 is allowed inside the store.
They'll be back in court August 2.

August 15 is "Ferragosto" and Italy is closed. It is the Catholic "Feast of the Assumption", but most people know it is the pivotal summer holiday around which long vacations are centered.
There is little news and most of Rome's "edicola" newsstands are closed. Television pundits are hashing over rumors that Berlusconi wants to sell his famed summer bunga-bunga pad (the Villa Certosa in Sardinia) and discussing labor union plans for a general strike over the government's austerity measures.
Italy will start grinding back to life tomorrow and we will begin our review of the headlines then. In the meantime check out Newsweek/The Daily Beast/Paris/France.

This odd Wii U collaboration plays like a guided tour of The Legend of Zelda's most iconic locations and characters. The price of admission? Playing a bunch of Dynasty Warriors.

An ancient city located in the Middle East, where Jericho must carry out Operation Godseal.
A location created to house and display various musical, combative, or sports events for spectators.
A large building constructed of stone, used as a defensive structure. They usually date from the Middle Ages.
Underground passageways or underground graves.
Deserts are typically depicted as hot arid places.
Hell is the afterlife destination for the souls of the dead who were evil and wicked in their mortal lives. Although you probably don't wanna go there for real, since it's full of bloodthirsty demons, unspeakable abominations and lots and lots of fire, Hell makes a great setting for videogames.
The Middle East is a region that spans southwestern Asia and northeastern Africa.
A neutral place in the afterlife, the destination of the souls of the dead whose lives were neither good enough to be worthy of bliss in Heaven nor evil enough to deserve damnation in Hell.
Many games take place in the Middle East, but it is often in a fictional country or a country that is never mentioned by name. In some games, this is done in order to avoid political controversies, evident in many modern military games such as Metal Gear Solid 4. In many fantasy games, a generic Middle-Eastern setting is used.

I'm so excited, it really is undignified for a woman of 41 years. I'm surprised I'm even coherent, mostly I've been uttering endless streams of "OHMYGODS OHMYGODS OHMYGODS" over the past two hours.
The more I hear (I'm watching on the e-ticket thing - yeah, I did break down and bought an e-ticket, and no I'm not going to sleep tonight, lol), the more excited I get. This expansion sounds like the answer to all my WoW-related prayers, EVER. No more need to put every player through the same heroics-5man grind to earn Valor Points (except for my raider main), lots more things to do at top level even for alts, different levelling options, spellbooks cleaned up instead of just more and more added, AND a new continent, race, and class - oh my gods, and have I said OH MY GODS yet??
One Troll monk coming up :-D
*high-fives Kylenne*
I just ordered pizza at half past ten in the night. Now I've come full circle and regressed to about 15 years old ;-)
I love that Scholomance is getting an overhaul, and Scarlet Monastery - oh yes, and the wand thing too, and I may have to dig out my hunter now that minimum range is FINALLY going to go... I could go on and on but I have to watch the talent changes.
Have fun!!

IDK where all the crying about our supposed "lackluster dps" is coming from--there are about 6 talent builds that can consistently put out very competitive numbers.
If you can't be bothered to get gear or to check out EJ don't cry that you can't faceroll to the top of the meters. I usually top the meters but now I have to actually TRY--not like it used to be, and I actually appreciate it. I used to hate my lock for the fact that early on I wasn't learning much of anything, especially with the old destro-raid build.
Locks aren't really meant to be the pew-pew. With the new changes to the other classes now I can actually have fun competing with other classes.If I get beaten out by someone, it's OK--I don't have to top the meter, if the bosses go down and the loot drops that's all I really care about--my epeen doesn't need the massage.
Aff has a very hard rotation to get right--destro has some weird issues there as well--but the 0/41/30 felguard build is the new "pew pew' and if you can't get good numbers something is very wrong between the keyboard and chair. We have at the very minimum 3 different (and I could argue as many as 6) viable playstyles in PVE.
If you enjoy complexity roll Aff. If you want to make things go boom boom very fast play Destro or a mix of Demo/Destro. To DOT or not to DOT is actually a real question right now. Gear is much more important than it used to be. A missed cast on a boss fight sees real drops in DPS numbers--BIG drops at that. Even deciding which pet to summon can be an ordeal--if you didn't notice pet DPS got some big changes (strong proof is out right now from WWS parses is that the forgotten succy has the edge on the puppy and the infernal in a boss fight--who would have guessed?) The Doomguard is being used for more than a joke. Infernals are actually viable on the last part of a boss fight.
These are all some major changes that require more than pressing the same buttons over and over to put up big numbers. People are spending thousands of gold trying out new specs and rotations--if you can't be bothered to at least inform yourself do you really deserve that raid invitation you want to QQ about?
PVP on the other hand is where we seriously need help--we're toast with any decent melee class, especially rogues, and I have no idea how you'd even begin to fix it.
Some changes to the teleport would be nice (let it work even stunned and you'd see some dead rogues for sure). Beyond that I got nothing. My focus is PVE so I'm not going to cry too much about this, but if you don't raid or even instance and enjoy PVP I would sympathize with you much much more.
Crying about damage meters right now? Not so much. I'm not going to be crass and say L2P but maybe check out some of the class forums and examine what you're doing.
Try new stuff. Hit up a practice dummy for a bit. Mess with your rotation.
People were laughing when the idea of summoning a doomguard or an infernal were tossed around; lo and behold they're tops outside a felguard right now in terms of DPS. It's that "thinking outside the box" that leads to good success in this game.
EJ is a good starting point--not a lot of conjecture, more the hard numbers and PROVEN tactics--a parse isn't really open for a lot of debate. Opinion doesn't count for much, either, whether that's good or bad I'll leave to you. It's a whole lot of dry reading but if this stuff is important to you you'll slog through it. My DPS has tripled with very few gear upgrades; I took suggestions and made changes to my play style. Just sayin'.

The guy in the diary is a good theory! I'm not sure how the desert stuff fits in, but my best guess (SPOILERS BELOW, FOLKS!) is that he's the Unseelie King who created the book. Clues:
1. He can touch the Spear, and the King started out Seelie and became Unseelie, so he can touch all Hallows.
2. Barrons was sure he was the one exception, that he would be able to handle the Book safely.
3. His tattoos are similar to the Unseelie princes. I guessed he wasn't the missing prince, as Mac can sense princes just fine.
That would also explain the big good/evil conflict that seems to be going on with Barrons.
*shrugs* I'm likely dead wrong, but I'm obsessed enough to give it some thought. :)

Saw your Faefever review--looks like you're as hooked as I am! Do you have any theories about what Barrons is?

'World War Z' Teaser Trailer Features Brad Pitt vs. a Terrifying Wall of Zombies (VIDEO)
It's one thing to watch this year's Super Bowl commercials trying desperately to sell you products like Doriots, sneakers, and cars in clever, comical, original ways. It's entirely another to watch a Super Bowl commercial featuring hottie man Brad Pitt, aka Mr. Angelina Jolie, trying to save his family from a bunch of zombies taking over the entire world.
ZOMG, yep, World War Z is coming, and no one is safe. And people say trivial politics will be the downfall of our civilization. Nope, it's ridiculously fast, seemingly-able-to-pile-on-top-of-each-other, freakishly strong, murderous zombies. Ya heard?
So, if you're tuning in to the Big Game on Sunday, expect to see even more teasers of Will Smith, I mean Brad trying to save the world from CGI humanoids -- football be damned! Really, how can you not love Brad Pitt? And scary zombies? And apocalypses? Luckily for you, the trailer's got ALL THESE THINGS.
Here it is!
From the prequisite happy, wholesome family shot to the crazy action scenes to the huge-ass pile of zombies trying to overtake some really large wall, this could either be a really great movie or a complete disaster, don't you think?
Looks like China's in for a rough go, though.
Well, for some background, fans of the original novel are a little worried about how exactly the producers will handle the source material (since the book was basically just an oral history of the apocalypse), and from the sound of it, the entire post-production process didn't go very smoothly in the slightest.
According to The Huffington Post:
Paramout was originally set to release "World War Z," an adaptation of Max Brooks' novel about the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse on Earth, in December. The film was shifted to June of 2013 after "significant reshoots" were requested by the studio. In June, Damon Lindelof ("Lost," "Prometheus") was reportedly hired to work on the script -- with specific focus on the ending -- despite the fact that "World War Z" finished production in 2011. (In the end, it was never confirmed that Lindelof did work on the script.) Meanwhile, as Vulture reported, the messy post-production process was exacerbated further by the fact that Pitt and director Marc Forster ("Quantum of Solace") weren't on speaking terms.
Oy, Brad and Marc not on speaking terms? Doesn't sound good! Turns out zombies really can't bring everyone together. Looks like we'll have to wait until June 21 to see if any of that post-production nonsense (or the fact it looks like they're pissing off fans already) will make this the next big-budget box office disaster. Guess we'll at least have the teaser to look forward to on Sunday ... or maybe just the wings and beer.
Are you watching the Super Bowl? What about World War Z when it comes out this summer?

Allison's new house was the perfect setting to try something new in a new environment. She treated us to her famous pancakes along with some other favorites for our Breakfast for Dinner. Along with her delicious (and really healthy!) pancakes, our menu also included vegan sausage, scrambled eggs, sausage links, our friend Noah's amazing hashbrowns, and some of our favorites from childhood- sugary cereals.The entire night felt exciting and new with a bit of a nostalgic throwback feel. Allison cooked on her incredible vintage range that is a perfect fit in the mid-century home. Their freshly painted dining room was the setting and was adorned with recently bloomed white hydrangeas from the front yard as we gathered around the table in perfectly suited chairs they salvaged from a local elementary school that shut down.

Now There's a Snuggie for Kids
It's a family affair! Mom and Dad have one, and there's even one for baby and the family dog! It's true, everyone can sport the
ridiculous comfy Snuggie while watching television, eating dinner, or going to the market for some shopping.
For just $14.99, kids can now humiliate themselves in their very own blanket with sleeves. If you're just dying to run out and get one ... they're available at Toys "R" Us.
With the first day of school coming up soon, why not dress the whole family up in the Snuggie? How cute! (Not.)

Ron Paul usually has decent answers and these news f*&ks are always f(*king with him. Obama is not living up to alot of his campaign promises just like all the other puppets before him. His nose is growing each month........just bring them home. I agree that if we were really worried as a nation they would be securing our borders but
Hiyosilver December 3, 2009 12:58:00 PM CET
YES! A great idea! Pull troops from ALL assignments outside of US borders immediately! Support our troops - Bring them home now!We have no justification having troops involved with illegal, immoral occupations of ANY country.What ever happened to the campaign promise to bring the troops home? If troops abroad was really a national security concern, our borders would not be left open to greatly compromise our security. Let's start at home!

More than 5,600 pounds of marijuana worth nearly $3 million was seized by Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents in three separate incidents over the weekend.
Ajo agents operating mobile surveillance equipment observed a group of suspected narcotics smugglers just north of the border Saturday morning. Agents found 11 bundles of abandoned marijuana weighing nearly 594 pounds and valued at $297,000.
Sunday morning, Ajo agents and a Customs and Border Patrol helicopter crew responded to detection technology near Federal Route 1. When they got there, agents said they discovered an abandoned SUV containing 1,745 pounds of marijuana worth an estimated $872,500.
Later that day, Casa Grande Border Patrol agents were called to investigate suspected illegal activity near Ventana. Agents were conducting joint operations with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations and the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.
They discovered tire tracks leading to two abandoned vehicles used to transport narcotics. A CBP helicopter crew also responded to assist law enforcement personnel on the ground, where a total of 198 bundles of marijuana were discovered concealed by vegetation.
The vehicles and 3,267 pounds of narcotics, worth more than $1.6 million, were seized.

An Augusta Commissioner feels city leaders should lay off the Purchasing Department.
City leaders discussed review of three city departments at their retreat, starting with the Procurement Department.
That department was ripped in a recently published legal article written by a local attorney that sued the department.
But, Commissioner Marion Williams didn't approve of making the Procurement Department first in line for a review.
"Procurement has been scrutinized more than any other department we've got a bunch of departments but that's the only one no other department has been scrutinized to any level but that one and I take issue with that I want to know if they were wrong by now something would have shown up," says Commissioner Marion Williams.
Commissioner Wayne Guilfoyle says Procurement Department Director Geri Sams has nothing to hide and he thinks she would want to get the review over with and doesn't think it's "picking on procurement,"
Fred Russell suggests working with UGA's School of Government to determine which 3 departments should be reviewed first, to decide how to improve government services.

Although it is true that Gauntlet II has almost identical layout as the original, some new, interesting features have been added to make gameplay a bit more complex. There are health-draining force fields and new monsters such as sorcerers, blobs of acid, and a black monster that homes in on you and saps your health. The levels also start changing randomly after level 5. Less important is the ability to choose what colour you want your character to be, and if you're playing with a friend, it's now possible for both of you to choose the same character. The graphics and sound effects are just as good and the game is as good as, if not better than, the original. In short, if you like Gauntlet, you will definitely love this underrated sequel. A great game to play with friends huddling around the same computer :) Two thumbs up!
Site Info
Bad news everybody!Okay so this\'ll be short, but in all likelihood, I am going to be shutting this page down. It\'s expensive (very), and I do not think it\'s needed anymore given the success of GOG.com, Abandonia, and a few others. I simply don\'thave the time to keep it up and running, nor can do I have the time to make it the kickass community that I think it needs to be. I tried to ping abandonia about taking it over, but I never got a response. if anyone else has any alternative ideas, drop me a line at admin at hotud.org and we can figure something out.

Just a little while ago, I told you that Absinthe 2.0 for iOS 5.1.1 had been released. Now, how do you do it? Read on to find out!
Absinthe 2.0 supports a long list of iOS devices:
- iPhone 4S
- iPhone 4 (CDMA and GSM)
- iPhone 3GS
- iPad 1
- iPad 2 (Wi-Fi, GSM, CDMA)
- iPad 3 (Wi-Fi, GSM, CDMA)
- iPod 4G
- iPod 3G
- Apple TV 2
If you own one of those devices and you are running iOS 5.1.1, you can jailbreak!
One thing I've neglected to do in the past is save my SHSH blobs and boy has it hurt me. First, you need to download Tiny Umbrella, which works on Mac and Windows. Download and install the file then open it. Once you have opened it, connect your iDevice to your computer and it should appear in the left hand column. (Make sure iTunes is closed) Find it on the left, click it, then find "Save SHSH." Click it and wait about 10 seconds for it to work. When it is done, you should see your device in the saved SHSH section.
If you neglect to save your SHSH, you could end up with a bricked iPhone or stuck on a certain version of iOS for ever.
This really goes without saying, but whenever you are making unofficial modifications to your device, always make a back, preferably to your computer, not iCloud. Make sure Tiny Umbrella is closed, then open iTunes, right-click your device and click backup.
This step is optional. I did not do a factory reset on my iPhone 4S, and did not have any issues whatsoever. You may, so I would recommend restoring your device. On your phone, open up settings, then general, scroll down to reset, and choose "Erase All Content and Settings."
So, you've done all the prep work and now you want to get to the good stuff. First off, you will need to download Absinthe 2.0 from here and extract it. Then, with your iPhone connected and powered on to the home screen, open Absinthe and click the Jailbreak button. Now we wait. It shouldn't take very long. Your device will go into recovery a few times, but do not worry.
When it is completed, you should be powered on at the unlock screen. Scroll to the final page on your device and you should see Cydia, if you do, the process was successful, if not, check your other pages for Cydia, but if it is nowhere to be found, just try again.
So, did you jailbreak your iOS 5.1.1 device? Tell us about it in the comments!

July 10, 2012, 8:31 PM — The availability of services and applications to employees and customers is more critical than ever before, but
many organizations still focus their data protection objectives on data and servers rather than applications.
A new survey of more than 200 IT professionals in North America by Quest Software reports that 73 percent of
organizations now rank restoring critical applications alongside recovering lost data as their top backup and
recovery concern. But 78 percent of organizations are still creating recovery objectives focused on data, servers
or a combination of both. Only five percent of respondents said they create their recover objectives based on
"It's my job to ensure that our clients' mission-critical systems are protected at all times, and when it comes
to backup, almost every organization I work with now has requirements to come up with faster recovery times than
ever before," says John O'Brien, founder and president of J.O'B Consultants. "I tell them unequivocally that if
you're concerned about meeting your recovery objectives, you better have a backup system that enables you to
quickly restore your critical applications, recovering the data alone simply isn't enough anymore."
Service Level Agreements vs. Service Level Expectations
"Not only have end users become more and more dependent on the services that IT provides, but their expectations
for availability and continuity are more demanding than ever before as well," adds Ken Kearley, corporate
applications manager for Florida College. "When a service goes down, today's end users expect it to be restored
immediately, and it's imperative that we in IT can meet that expectation."
And there may be a growing gap between user expectation and what IT can deliver. Among organizations that
outsource to service providers for applications, Quest found 15 percent of respondents indicated there was a gap
between their formal service level agreements (SLAs) and the actual service level expectations (SLEs) of their
employees and customers.
"It's often a perception issue," says Greg Davoll, senior director of data protection marketing at Quest
Software. "The five 9s may be being met for the IT SLA contract, but when the user logged in at 10:30 pm on a
Friday night expecting to use the service, it wasn't available. It may even have been down for scheduled downtime.
The end user may not understand that there's scheduled downtime and it's part of the contract."
Those problems can be solved with better planning and better communication, Davoll says. He suggests that
organizations define their SLEs before negotiating their SLAs. But when services or applications go down
unexpectedly, a plan for recovery that focuses on the applications is even more important.

Dadhichi, also known as Dadhyancha, is an important character in Hindu mythology.He was the one of the greatest devotees of Lord Shiva.It is believed that after Shiva had been separated from Shakti,he had kept himself all alone in a jungle and on an annual festival of Maha Shivratri, Lord Shiva had first time appeared in front of his devotees as rishi Dadhichi and his disciples were offering him prayers. He is revered amongst the greatest of sages and is portrayed as an example that no sacrifice is too great when the result is the good of the world. His bones are used as a symbol on India's highest award for gallantry "Param Vir Chakra" as "vajra". He was among one of the greatest among clan of bhrigus. He is credited with giving up his life in order to allow the [ Dadhichi was the son of sage Atharvan and his wife Chitti (Bhaagvat Puraan, 4/1). Atharvan who is also known as Bhrigu rishi (Manas putra of Brahma) attained the name the Atharvan as he authored ("Heard") Atharvaveda. Chitti was sage Kardam's daughter. Dadhichi's wife's name was Swarcha and his son was Pippalada rishi, a great sage himself, who is supposed to be associated with the Pippalada school of thought and associated with the origin of the Praśna Upanishad. He had established his ashram in Misrikh, in Naimisharanya near Lucknow, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India.[1]Naimisharanya has been cited in all of the puranas as the place of his ashram, where it is still in existence. The current place of Sabarmati Ashram in Ahemdabad, is also one of the ancient sites of his ashram.In the ancient times sages used to travel long distances, so may be he stayed near sabarmati river for some time. His name is seen to occur in the 1st mandala of Rigveda (Bhagavata Purana, Srimad Devi Bhagavatam and in the Puranas[2]). He is said to be the forefather of many other great rishis and various clans, such as the Dadheech Brahmins (Dynasty/clan) in India claim to be his descendants.
Dadhichi is believed to have authoured the famous composition of "Narayana Kavacham", which is a famous hymn in southern India and sung for power and peace. He was a passer-by of Madhuvidhya to ashvin kumars which he learned himself from others.
Dadhichi is associated with many Hindu legends and is sometimes portrayed as having a horse's head.[citation needed]

Dadhichi is said to have been a master of a Vedic art known as Brahmavidya (Madhuvidya) that would enable mortals to attain immortality.[2] Indra the King of the Devas felt his position was insecure with such power in the hands of a mortal man, especially one with as much power as Dadhichi possessed by virtue of being a rishi. Indra was also against the Ashwini twins learning Brahmavidya and swore that he would behead the one who taught them the art.[1] However the Ashwini twins, wished to learn this art and devised a plan to protect Dadhichi from Indra's power. They learnt the art from Dadhichi after cutting off his head, preserving it and replacing it with one from a horse. Indra in his wrath beheaded the horse-headed sage and left. The Ashwini twins then put Dadhichi's head back and revived him with the Madhuvidya that he had taught them. This was how the sage came to be called Ashvashira - The One with the Horse's head.[1]
Indra and Vritra - The Tale of the Vajrayudha[edit]
Indra the King of the Devas was once driven out of Devaloka by an Asura named Vritra. The asura was the recipient of a boon whereby he could not be killed by any weapon that was known till the date of his receiving the boon and additionally that no weapon made of wood or metal could harm him.[3]) Indra, who had lost all hope of recovering his kingdom went to seek the aid of Vishnu. Vishnu revealed to Indra that only the weapon made from the bones of the sage Dadhichi would defeat Vritra.[3] Indra and the other Devas therefore approached the sage, whom Indra had once beheaded, and asked him for his aid in defeating Vritra. Dadhichi acceded to the Devas' request but said that he wished that he had time to go on a pilgrimage to all the holy rivers before he gave up his life for them.[1] Indra then brought together all the waters of the holy rivers to Naimisharanya,[1] thereby allowing the sage to have his wish fulfilled without a further loss of time. Dadhichi is then said to have given up his life by the art of Yoga after which the Devas fashioned the Vajrayudha from his rib cage. This weapon was then used to defeat the asura, allowing Indra to reclaim his place as the King of devaloka.
Another version of the story exists where Dadhichi was asked to safeguard the weapons of the devas as they were unable to match the arcane arts being employed by the asuras to obtain them. Dadhichi is said to have kept at the task for a very long time and finally tiring of the job, he is said to have dissolved the weapons in sacred water which he drank.[4] The devas returned a long time later and asked him to return their weapons so that they might defeat the asuras, headed by Vritra, once in for all. Dadhichi however told them of what he had done and informed them that their weapons were now a part of his bones. However, Dadhichi, realising that his bones were the only way by which the devas could defeat the asuras willingly gave his life in a pit of mystical flames he summoned with the power of his austerities.[4] Brahma is then said to have fashioned a large number of weapons from Dadhichi's bones, including the Vajrayudha, which was fashioned from his spine. The devas are then said to have defeated the asuras using the weapons thus created.
Other legends[edit]
Various other legends are associated with Dadhichi and the list given below is by no means exhaustive in this respect:
- Dadhichi is said to have been the first to leave from Daksha's yagna when he realised that Shiva had not been invited in spite.[5]
- The mantra or incantation for Devi Hinglaj is attributed to Saint Dadhichi.[citation needed]
In the modern age[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (September 2009)
- The tale of Dadhichi is an oft used story to teach children in India that nothing is too much when it is done for the greater good.[citation needed]
- People in India form ethnic groups or clans based on ancestral descent which include Dadhich, Dahiya clans.[citation needed]
- Dadhichi is worshipped in some parts of India.[citation needed]
- On a Related note, there is a verse in the great Tamil work Tirukkural "Anibilaar ellam thamakkuriyar, Anbudaiyaar enbum uriyar pirarkku" meaning "The selfish(compassion-less) people consider everything in the world for their own use, whereas even the compassionate/selfless people's bones are for other's use.
In popular culture[edit]
The Param Vir Chakra India's highest military decoration has a motive of Vajra, the mythic weapon of Indra created by the bones donated by Dadhichi as tribute to his sacrifice. The medal is mostly given posthumously.[6][7]

Wed, Oct. 6, 2010 (BabyCenter News) -- Valco Baby has recalled about 12,000 Tri Mode single and twin jogging strollers in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The opening between the grab bar and seat bottom can allow an infant's body to pass through, trapping the child's neck by the grab bar. This poses a strangulation hazard to young children when they're not properly harnessed. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves the grab bar on Tri Mode single and twin strollers. "Valco Baby" is printed on the head rest and on the footboard padding. The grab bar is optional and can be removed from the stroller. The following model numbers are included in this recall: RUN6140, RUN6141, RUN6142, RUN6143, RUN6144, RUN6145, RUN6146, RUN6147, RUN7710, RUN7711, TRI8800, TRI8801, TRI8802, TRI8803, TRI8890, TRI9103, TRI9104, TRI9105, TRI9106, TRI1033, TRI1034, and TRI1035.
The stroller's model number can be found on a white sticker on the left side of the brake bar.
These strollers were made in China and were sold at juvenile product stores and on websites, including www.amazon.com. They were sold between November 2007 and March 2010 for $480 to $700.

January 20, 2013 – Hello again from Hollywood! Miss B was back in the park for the 3rd consecutive week yesterday, and things are moving fast as we enter the off season.
Here's a look at what's happening in the park right now, with construction projects getting underway, and the final traces of a beloved attraction.
Upon entering the park and making your way towards New York Street, you'll notice something is missing – a good deal of trees! The Wild West arena continues to be flattened out and re-styled, as some trees have been removed to clear up space. Here, you can see the construction equipment looming over the work walls – and a crowd!
This shot really shows how bare the skies above the West are. This also meant a lot less shade on the London street - and with the bright SoCal sun coming back yesterday, that meant a lot less people lingering on this side!
In an effort to spruce up the boring work walls that had no theme to theme, Universal has added large movie-theater style attraction posters, like this one of Revenge of the Mummy. They also had some featuring Waterworld, the Studio Tour, Shrek 4D, King Kong 360 3D, and my personal favorite, Jurassic Park the ride.
As we move down the Paris street and towards T2 and Coke Soak, this was looming overhead. At this point, we were starting to wonder "what's going on inside...?"
These work lights were also high above the work walls, pointing to night time construction. This seems likely, as there hasn't been a peep of construction equipment of a sign of any workers during park hours.
And then comes the fun part - the look behind the walls! Look at those dumpsters in the back full of old insulation materials. Is this a sign that walls are already being torn down? I think so.
More dumpsters and a good deal of steel as well as a small tractor on the far side of what used to be Coke Soak. Definitely some heavy lifting going on over here.
Here's a wide look at the main area of what was Coke Soak just a few weeks ago. So much empty space!
A little bit closer, and we can see a work bungalow set up next to the entrance to Cyber Grill. This office for the construction team also seems to suggest that they're working at night, and need a place to take breaks when the rest of the park is closed down for the evening.
This photo should give you just a bit more perspective on the positioning of all this. You can see construction from the Universal Sheraton, and anything they do to the area will be seen from the surrounding hillside. This may impact how Universal styles the new area.
You can see the work bungalow better here, and see how Cyber Grill no longer has any trace of T2 left on it, other than the design on the window clings that prevent people from seeing inside.
And the old Cyber Grill sign is no more. The lettering has been removed, though the triangular sign front remains - as well as the outline of the word Cyber.
In case you didn't believe me about how full those dumpsters were before, here's an even closer shot. Look at all that foam and padding! They're not playing around with this removal. Also, you can't see it clearly, but the photo op with the Harley has been removed - you can barely see that they've removed the background from the wall.
Also note how high this work lift is - it's above the short side of the building. They're already working on the upper trim of the building, and may well be removing the T2 design elements on the side of the building very soon.
And here we see that the T-800 Endoskeletons have been removed from the window displays, as well as the other design elements from the franchise such as the rubble and skulls. The windows are empty, as is the store, and the lights have been removed from the Supply Co. sign. Farewell, T2!
Moving from the Upper Lot downstairs, we finally got a good glimpse at Megatron! He is bigger than Bumblebee but about the same size as Optimus Prime. And if you thought they got the details down for the other two, you haven't seen anything yet!
They even put in the details of the chains around him, and the scar on his head. We didn't linger in front of the Lord of the Decepticons for very long!
When we headed back upstairs, we stumbled on a treat - Terminator merchandise! In the Production Central store, you can still find a small but decent selection of T2 gear, such as these hats...
...children's shirts...
...bobbleheads of the T-800...
...and this was a weird one! These are soda bottle toppers! You screw the T-800's head onto your soda bottle and drink through the straw inserted through the top of his head. Not sure how much these guys cost.
We caught the statue man on the move over by New York Street! He was kind enough to stop for a photo before going on to delight and terrify the crowd by the House of Horrors Exit.
The shark is still here, I repeat, the shark is still here! New Jaws merchandise for kids in the upper lot! And that's not the only thing still here...
Gone but never forgotten! Check out this awesome BTTF shirt from the Production Central shop! Nice to see remnants of our old favorites still around.
And proving that there are people behind the posts, I met IU member and USH employee Linus at the Simpson's Carnival Game tent. Jurassic Park fans, unite!
And with that, it was time to call it a wrap from Hollywood and head back home.
In the 3rd week post-Terminator, we've seen Universal make huge steps in starting their new projects, including the lightning fast turnaround on Coke Soak demolition, and the clearing out of the old for the new around the entire park. There are rumors of other small changes to come in the next weeks. Only time will tell what stays fact and what goes fiction, but regardless of what's true, one thing IS for sure: Things are going to get very interesting in the park in the days to come!
Stay tuned with us for the latest news from Hollywood as we continue to cover the all things Universal! Keep up on the latest news and rumors, meet up with fellow Universal fans, and come join the discussion!

Sleep Tight & Wake Up Right
After a long, tiring day, there's nothing like crashing into bed for some solid, undisturbed rest. Here are a few tech tips to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up worry-free.
"Clap On, Clap Off" for the 21st Century
Whether you read in bed before going to sleep, or have a habit of crashing with the lights on, getting up to hit that light switch can seem insurmountable once you're cozily wrapped in the covers. Consider Lutron's remote dimmers, which let you adjust lights from across the room via remote control. Many of their switches use IR and can be controlled by your home theater remote, which is especially handy if you have a TV in your bedroom. With a Logitech Harmony programmable remote, you could shut everything down with one touch, ensuring a dark, calm sleeping environment.
Don't Glow in the Dark
We're connected to some sort of screen almost constantly — phone, laptop, television, desktop, tablet, etc. We're often told to put away our gadgets for the sake of etiquette, but there may be another reason to escape the pervasive electronic glow: quality of sleep. In their 2011 poll of sleep habits, the National Sleep Foundation found that using electronics in the hour before sleep may interfere with our sleeping patterns. Excessive exposure to artificial light after dusk can trick one's brain out of its normal circadian rhythm. The press release is a great read full of fascinating information and helpful advice. I can't help but agree with this tip: "Treat your bed as your sanctuary from the stresses of the day."
No-Fuss Alarms
Though this may sound obvious to some, I still know many who manually set their alarm each night. To avoid a needlessly stressful morning, set a daily repeating alarm on your phone or alarm clock. Many smartphones even allow for alarms that only trigger on weekdays. Not only will this reduce the likelihood of error, but having a consistent sleep schedule can also lead to a more restful night and more energized day.
Even Tweets Need Some Rest
Push notifications are a great way to keep up on your favorite sports teams or twitter feeds, but a constant stream of buzzes and beeps throughout the night is no way to relax. Many apps, such as Tweetbot, have customizable nighttime sleep modes, which temporarily turn off notifications during a set period. Take a look through your favorite apps to see if they have such a feature!
Don't Miss Your Stop!
For early morning commuters, the train offers one last chance to catch a few winks. If you're an iPhone 4S owner, try using location-based reminders to avoid oversleeping and missing your stop. Just ask Siri, "remind me to wake up when I get to Grand Central Terminal." This can also be accomplished manually on older models (as long as they're running iOS 5) using the Reminders app. Your phone will beep and display "wake up" when the GPS detects that you've reached your destination. Just remember to account for lack of service or GPS signal in underground train stations. Perhaps you should ask Siri to disturb your slumber a couple of stops back, just in case!
These are my tips for using tech to sleep soundly. Do you have any favorite apps, gadgets, or techniques for aiding in sleep? Share your solutions in the comments!

I love the Sleep Cycle app on my iPhone. The best part about it is that it actually does what it says it will--based on your movement, it wakes you up in a half hour window that you're in light sleep, so you don't wake up feeling groggy and dead to the world. Then it will show you how you slept between deep sleep, light sleep and being awake. It's pretty accurate -- mine shows me wake up every morning when my cat starts harassing me for food, then when I fall back asleep for another 90 minutes or so.
An added bonus is that, for it to work, it has to be tucked under your fitted sheet -- which means it's not worth it to pull it out if you've having trouble falling asleep or wake up in the middle of the night. So my phone goes to bed and wakes up when I do.
I put my phone into aircraft mode every night - no beeping except for the alarm in the morning.
Also, don't have kids. They frequently disturb your otherwise restful night.
I went around my room putting little strips of black tape over glowing lights from things like chargers, internet router, even the tv's "off" setting has a glowing light. I live in a studio so there is no getting around having all these things in my sleeping space and covering them up really helps to cut down on the amount of light in the room. It seems like everything has a light on it these days!
I use the Sleep Cycle app too, but don't tuck it under my sheet. I didn't realize you were supposed to do that. It goes face down next to my head. I'm probably going to get brain cancer, but hey, at least getting up for work has been easier.
I find that a dimmer app or program on your phone/ebook reader/laptop works great for reducing the glare of your screen below the hardware's default settings. Pair it with f.lux (which retunes the color balance of your screen to be less blue in day or night mode), and you can read comfortably in the dark.
I am super old school: no TV, no phones of any kind, and no computers in the bedroom. I have a clock that does not have an LCD screen because the light drives me nuts. Black out shades. It has to be a bit cold too. The bed has to be made everyday since getting in an unmade bed feels like getting in to garbage, and then I can't sleep. So I guess I am anti tech in the bedroom. Sweet dreams everyone.
Ummmm... just in regards to the remote dimmers. What's wrong with a bedside lamp? It hasn't let me down in a lifetime of use.
PSA: Anyone who is waking up to an alarm is, by definition, sleep deprived. For your own health and safety - and for those around you - go to bed earlier.
I can't seem to find this Sleep Cycle app in the app store.

Employment for International Students
Students from the European Economic Area do not need permission to work in the UK. There are exceptions for nationals of 'the new member states' - those countries that joined the EU in May 2004. For nationals of some of these countries there is a requirement to use the Workers' Registration Scheme. For further information on this please refer to a Guidance note issued by UKCISA - www.ukcisa.org.uk
Students studying at UK institutions and who are not nationals of an EEA country are usually authorised to work in the UK, subject to the conditions listed below. Similarly, they are able to do work placements which are part of a sandwich course, or to undertake internship placements without the need to obtain special permission.
Students do not generally need to obtain special permission before they can work. The conditions covering the hours and type of work an international student from outside the EEA may do are as follows:
- the student should not work for more than 20 hours per week during term time except where the placement is a necessary part of their studies with the agreement of the education institution;
- the student should not engage in business, self-employment or the provision of services as a professional sportsperson or entertainer;
- the student should not pursue a career by filling a permanent full time vacancy.
This applies to people admitted to the UK as students for more than six months. Their passport stamp will continue to state that they can only work with permission from the Secretary of State for Employment. You may not work if your visa or passport stamp state, 'No work' or 'Employment prohibited' or that you must 'not engage in employment' (unless it also contains the words 'consent of the Secretary of State').
A student's husband or wife will be given a visa or passport stamp that allows them to work if the student is given permission to stay in the UK for twelve months or more.
Any student wishing to work in the UK will need to apply for a National Insurance number (NINO), but you do not need to have received your NI number before you can start work. Your Local Benefits Agency or JobCentre Plus (National Insurance Contributions Section) will advise you on how to apply. The RVC has a local contact who can assist you with applying for an NI very easily. For detailed information see 'NINO' below.
For further information on this and a whole range of other issues relating to overseas students in the UK, please visit the UKCISA website. They publish a wide range of updated Guidance Notes covering many practical issues that you may face, including council tax, healthcare, immigration, etc.
If you have the right to work in the UK, and you have started, or are about to start working, you need to get a National Insurance Number (NINO). It is made up of letters and numbers and may look like this: AB 11 22 33 C (this is just an example).
The RVC has an arrangement with a National Insurance Office in Tooting, South London, to make it easy to apply.
Their address is: 67 Upper Tooting Road, London SW17 7TN.
Nearest tube: Tooting Bec (Northern Line) or buses 155, 355, 219.
To make an appointment, call 020 8218 4451 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com
You will have to take some documents to the interview with you, they must be originals; some examples are: passport, letter from college including your course details, tenancy agreement.

Hey there, Smitha! hi, DG!
Yes, the year started out quite good for me.

Excited about the upcoming G.I.Joe: Retaliation?
Are you afraid of the dark?

Ever thrown the first blow in a fistfight?
Oh yeah! *Grins* Loved every minute of it!

When Hope could no longer have puppies, she was sold at auction by the owners of the puppy mill where she had spent her entire life locked in a cage. Rescued by Mary Scheffke of Chicago French Bulldog Rescue, Hope was found to have degenerative disk disease, which has left her paralysed. Thanks to physical therapy, Mary's hard work and her mobility cart, Hope has not just survived, but thrived. Hope never allows her physical disability to get in the way of her spirit and joie de vivre.
A blog about French Bulldogs and French Bulldog photos. Mostly Frenchies, though.

Kevin Jonas (Almost) Slams Selena Gomez! Watch What Happens HERE!1
Ouch! Selena Gomez just got third degree BURNED!
…and by her ex-boyfriend's brother nonetheless!
Kevin Jonas did everything but say Selener's name when Andy Cohen asked the Jonas Brother who he thinks is the most overrated pop star at the moment on Watch What Happens Live.
At one point Kevin said:
"Did you watch the MTV…no, no, I'm not going there…"
LOLz! Classy moves, Kevin.
We wouldn't want to upset any Selenators, but we all know you weren't talking about the ONLY other MTV Movie Awards performance by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis because it was just TOO epic to bash!
Wonder if Selena's old flame, Nick Jonas, agrees?!
Regardless, we'd definitely suggest Kevin get some extra bodyguards to protect himself from an angsty teen mob!
Ch-ch-check out the deliciously uncomfortable moment…AFTER THE JUMP!!!
