There is a need to initiate a meaningful discussion on the need for mental health legislation in Pakistan, with special reference to the Sindh Mental Health Bill of 2012, currently being considered by the government of Sindh.
My main interest is with the mentally disordered patient, commonly referred to as 'madman', 'pagal', or 'charya'. I have used these immensely distasteful and stigmatising colloquial expressions to emphasise the social ostracism and the desperate plight of this extremely vulnerable group of our compatriots. There is an urgent need to enact legislation for this group of citizens, who deserve both protection from others, and treatment for the mental disorder they suffer from, which renders them unable to seek medical treatment for themselves.
The horrendous status quo In the absence of meaningful mental health legislation in Pakistan, the current situation is that a person suffering from some mental disorder is almost completely at the mercy of his family, if they have one.
In the majority of cases, it is the family that brings these patients for treatment to the doctor, or whoever graces that professional role, i.e. the spiritualist, the holy man, the mulla or the quack. Where involuntary admission to a psychiatric institution is required, the patient is coerced first into admission and then psychiatric treatment, by the family as well as institutional staff.
There are currently no legal checks, protections or safeguards for the mentally disordered patient in any of these settings — at home, the errant husband can keep his mentally disordered wife locked up in the cellar for a long time, and in an institution, the doctor can allow his wealthy mentally disordered patient to remain admitted in hospital for as long as he wants. Where there isn't a family, the mentally disordered patient is at the mercy of state institutions, primarily the criminal justice agencies — the police and the prisons. They are arrested, abused and, in some instances, killed as scapegoats. There has been a spate of recent cases where blasphemy offences are alleged against such mentally disordered patients, and the state institutions have failed to protect them from vigilante mobs imposing lethal instant retribution upon them.
Constitutional justification for mental health legislation The constitution of Pakistan guarantees basic rights and liberties to all citizens of the state. These rights derive from fundamental principles of justice in accordance with which the State of Pakistan assumes the sole monopoly of power over its citizens. But this arrangement, in order to remain just, assumes that the citizens have the necessary mental abilities to utilise their basic rights and liberties. In the presence of mental disorder, for example, such rights and liberties are hollow rights and liberties and mean nothing. As parens patriae, the parent of last resort, the state must ensure that its citizens receive treatment and protection in case they become mentally disordered. There is also an over-arching prima facie law of humanity which obliges us to show compassion to the ill among us, and to provide succour and treatment for them, in a manner which doesn't do them harm. Mental health legislation is essentially an expression of this humanity which enriches our association with each other for the art of living.
History of mental health legislation and Pakistan Historically it was the reported abuse and neglect of mentally disordered patients in society which created the impetus and the political will for mental health legislation in the western world.
In the 18th century England, private madhouses had proliferated and there were a few notorious scandals reported where husbands had paid large amounts of money to unscrupulous, non-medical 'madhouse' keepers to detain their first wives, so that they could marry again. There were parliamentary enquires which revealed that this practice was not uncommon amongst Georgian gentlemen, and that along with illegally detaining non-mentally disordered patients in institutions for the mentally disordered, the care for those who were in fact mentally disordered was also scandalously poor. In both the cases the madhouse keepers were simply interested in making financial gain from the practice, rather than delivering any form of care and treatment for those they detained in their facilities.
There arose an urgent political and social need to introduce legal protections and the first mental health legislation, the Madhouse Act of 1774 was passed, both to ensure that those who were not mentally disordered were not subjected to abuse of any kind, and also to provide some safeguards for those found to be suffering from mental disorders and in need of involuntary admission and treatment.
Pakistan inherited the Lunacy Act of 1912 which was largely ceremonial in its impact upon psychiatric care in the country. There was little progress on this front until 2001 when the first Pakistan Mental Health Act of 2001 was passed.
There was again very slow progress, and it took many years for the federal government to set up the federal structural framework which would allow this Act to work.
However, after the 18th constitutional amendment was passed in April 2010, the provision of psychiatric healthcare was devolved from the federation to the provinces in Pakistan. This constitutional amendment in effect abrogated the 2001 Mental Health Act which had been premised on federal (and not provincial) psychiatric regulatory institutions. At present, in practice there is no law which protects mentally disordered patients in Pakistan.

I would like to ask for advice more experienced ROR developers. I am new in programming and like the idea of ROR and I am before the decision on which programming language to specialize Java vs ROR.
In the future I wish to work for bigger international IT companies (IBM, Accenture etc.) but as I am reading their job openings, most of them are hiring Java, C++, .NET..
Is the ROR used only in startups or also in bigger companies as well?
What should be the reasons of their preference of Java over ROR?

Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Ice Cube | R |
Either you're old, like me, and were aghast at the idea of someone defiling your beloved Jump Street. Or you're young (i.e., born after the '87 launch of the TV series that made Johnny Depp a star), and your reaction was closer to, "What's 21 Jump Street?" Good news, graybeards and whippersnappers: This is a movie we all can dig.
The new Jump Street borrows the same conceit as the original-babyfaced cops go back to high school to narc on naughty kids-but torques it into a ridiculously inappropriate comedy. The secret is the Mutt-and-Jeff pairing of Tatum and Hill as the narcs. Tatum is Jenko, the hot cop to Hill's Schmidt, the smart one. They're both stunned when they enroll in school to bust a drug ring, only to find that cliques have changed and Schmidt's the popular one now. Tatum is all goofy charm as he tries to fit in with the nerds, while recent Oscar nominee Hill mines his easy wit. They're both upstaged by Ice Cube as their hilariously cliched Angry Black Captain, who tells them to embrace stereotypes. It's that kind of humor, the go-for-broke lunacy that isn't afraid to offend but never veers to the offensive, that should unite fans of the series and folks who've barely heard of it. Surely we could all use the laughs.
Jeff Who Lives at Home
Jason Segel, Ed Helms, Susan Sarandon | R |
We don't choose our families, but we can still learn from them. Such is the heart of this sweet indie flick about 30-year-old Jeff (Segel), who runs an errand for his mom-slash-roommate (Sarandon), only to be sidetracked by his self-involved brother (Helms). It could be called Jeff Who Needs a Job: Nobody plays a gentle (toking) giant like always-affable Segel, but his character is so single-minded about finding his "destiny" that it can grate. Meanwhile, Helms's talent is often wasted on over-the-top hijinks as he tries to determine if his wife, expertly played by Judy Greer, is cheating. Here, less is more. The best scenes are the honest ones-especially with Sarandon's deeply lonely matriarch-that make Jeff an emotional portrait of a dysfunctional but loving clan. Corny at points? Sure. But ultimately, this is a touching movie that stays with you.
Casa de Mi Padre
Will Ferrell, Diego Luna, Genesis Rodriguez | R |
It seems like a one-joke idea: Gringo Will Ferrell does a film in subtitled Spanish. But telenovela/spaghetti western Casa has more going for it than that. Ferrell stars as Armando, the slow brother to Luna's Raul, who brings home his new fiancee Sonia (Man on a Ledge's Rodriguez). Soon the brothers war over Sonia, even as a drug lord (Gael Garcia Bernal) menaces. The film is so purposely, good-naturedly dumb, though, that none of that really matters. It's just fun to watch Ferrell thrill in making a ninny of himself.
"Johnny and his makeup people devised the design," The Lone Ranger producer Jerry Bruckheimer says of Depp's latest kooky look. Set for release in May 2013, the film follows the masked Lone Ranger (The Social Network's Armie Hammer, right) as he seeks justice alongside Depp's Tonto. Once again, Depp puts a unique spin on an iconic character. Says Bruckheimer: "It's great seeing what Johnny comes up with."
College students will relate to coeds/lovers Anna (Felicity Jones) and Jacob (Anton Yelchin), who are separated by bad decisions, immigration officials and the tense tedium of long-distance love.
Feel free to get into Kenny Wormald and Julianne Hough's super-intense high school love. Me? I'm using the DVD as my personal step-by-step dance class to nail some of their (less tricky) moves.
Theoretically, Steven Spielberg's visually arresting Tintin is for kids, but anyone can appreciate the swashbuckling epic. Plus the Blu-ray version comes packed with extra featurettes for hardcore fans.

We were the only camper in the park as all the seasonals had just left. To say it was quite was an understatement. The park itself was excellent the reason for the low rating was the access road. Very steep, winding road with ruts. Had I not had a large engine vehicle, I would have had a very difficult time getting up and down the access road. My site was next to a large open grassy area leading to the playground, very spacious. Only Wi-Fi access was down at the office area so none at the site. Wonderful owners and very helpful. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nicely situated on a hillside overlooking the Aroostook River. This is farm country. Lots of potato farms. Also lots of Amish settlements. Canoe & kayak rental, plus a put-in service. Sites are large and grassy. The roads are dirt, and in need of repair; but, they work if you take the pot holes easy. Ours was a 30 amp FHU (#50): very nice. Would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice location with nice views. Some of the grass sites will take a little extra wood under a motorhome to get level but worth it. Showers were very powerful and clean. The store was sparse on food but just before you get to the campground there are some big food stores. I wish I had stayed there another day or two so that I could have taken a tour of the historic town. The person checking us in was very nice. We camped here in a MH and the tent sites looked like some of the best I've seen during the past 3 weeks ( of a 10 week trip ) traveling from AZ to ME and Canada .I have a 35 ft MH and didn't find the roads in the park hard to manage. I would like to stay here again We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is on a knoll that faces west. The entry road is rough gravel and uneven so, figure on going slow. There were several big motor homes and other trailers there during our stay. Our site (#44) was level, grassy and we enjoyed a fiery red sunset. Our rate was based on AAA. WI-FI is available back at the laundromat (downhill from the campsite). The signal however, was intermittent. The staff was friendly and accommodating and, we did enjoy our stay. We would come again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The person who previously reviewed this campground in 2003 described it to a tee. The only other thing I could add is that you receive 2 TV channels, and it's intermittent. After the first week, we purchased a Dish receiver from Radio Shack. The TV issue, along with the dirt road (it rained a lot while we were here) were the only real issues. There aren't many RV parks around the area to choose from. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were disappointed with this park and did not complete our reserved time here. In all fairness, some of this was due to personal preferences. The park appears to have been a farm at one time that has been converted to a campground. Check in was a bit confused. The "store" does not stock any perishable food items such as bread. The sites are located on a hill behind the office and the access road is dirt with several very sharp and narrow turns,one of which is totally blind. At the top is a large open area with some pull-thrus and back-ins all of which are W&E only. There is a nice view of the surrounding farm land. The 10 full hookup sites are a little further up and are terraced. The owner described them as "pull-in/backout" sites. We observed some larger units having some difficulty getting into and out of these sites. It is very difficult to pull in, unhook your tow vehicle and then get the tow vehicle back out. The campground does own some riverfront property and they do rent kayaks and canoes but the river can not be seen from the campground. It is located across the highway and then down thru a field. We would recommend if you go here and you have a full hookup site, walk up and check it out before you pull your rig up. We would not return here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

SOUND DESIGN - MUSIC - SUPERVISING Contact me!
"Greg's level of caring for quality and innovation always stuns me. He'll go through extremes to obtain the level of detail and emotion he's after. He started working for me back in the early 90's, and showed his passion for video-game audio very quickly. He designed sound for many of the well known franchises like Baldur's Gate, StarTrek & Fallout. Greg's also a very good composer of any type of dance music, and especially hip-hop. Him taking on the Def Jam franchise at EA Chicago was the perfect fit, and the results showed. Fun to work with and always up for making things sound better, I recommend him to anybody who's looking for a straight forward, no BS type of guy, who gets any job done, and done well."–Charles Deenen Sr.Creative Director - Audio, Electronic Arts
"Greg is a great creative audio mind. He is knowledgeable in all areas of audio being making sounds from scratch to creating music to recording Foley/dialog etc... You have audio needs/questions Greg is your man. He took great care of his audio team and co-workers always making sure everyone are getting everything/anything they need. I have much respect for Greg and the work he has done. Greg is the person you want to be your team."–Kerry Hermann, Software Engineer, United Front Games
"Greg's attention to detail and drive for high quality audio in our games, mixed with his vast experience makes him a very valuable asset. He provides great input and feedback in all aspects of audio production. Bottom line is, we wouldn't have had such great reviews for audio if not for Greg. I would highly recommend Greg Allen and hope to have the chance to work with him again."–Jay Wells, Software Engineer, Electronic Arts
"Greg is by far one of the most passionate game makers I have ever worked with. His drive to create and develop the highest quality audio in a video game is unmatched. He delivers on his promise. He passionate about the games he makes, the audio he designs, and the people he works with. Greg has been a pleasure to work with."–Marc Brinkly, CG Supervisor/Sr Art Director, MGS at Microsoft
"Greg is an incredibly passionate Audio Director, who is completely committed not only to his craft but even more so to his team. Greg and I worked together on Def Jam: ICON, which seamlessly integrated the (hip-hop) music, dialogue, and sound effects directly into the gameplay, and still retained the authenticity that the hip-hop world requires. His direction on the Marvel project was equally as innovative, while still staying acutely focused on the project's goals. Greg was a great, experienced addition and a pleasure to work with!"–Alan Martin, Project Manager/Producer, Razorfish

Fellowship recipients receive $7,000 for their efforts, with on-campus room and board expenses paid by the student. Please note, the research topic of "professional ethics" is broadly construed to include ethical issues in occupations or professions.
All full-time St. John's University juniors from any academic discipline are eligible to apply. Eligible students will have held junior standing at the start of the 2013-2014 academic year. As Lindmark Fellow, the student will work full-time, approximately 40 hours per week, beginning June 2, 2014 and continuing through August 8, 2014. Fellows will live on campus and will not be allowed to have any other paid employment during the ten-week fellowship. Twice per month, each Fellow will meet with his faculty fellowship advisor.

The application deadline for the Fellowship is Sunday, January 26, 2014. On-campus interviews, or internet-based interviews for students studying abroad, may be requested thereafter. If interviews are necessary, selection committee members expect to have completed all interviews by mid-February, with notification to selected Fellows by Friday, February 14, 2014.
Students will be selected based on the following items, which should be submitted via email to Laura Hammond at firstname.lastname@example.com

2) A well-written research proposal of no more than five pages, including an additional bibliography of sources from peer-reviewed journals, books, etc. Students are encouraged to work with their proposed faculty advisor to create a research proposal that:
- Identifies the significance of the selected research topic and how it relates to business and professional ethics.
- Brings together scholarly literary sources and a specific research methodology that are related to the research project.
- Demonstrates how the proposed research project will be manageable for the student and his faculty advisor so that the research project will be completed by the end of the ten-week period.
- Include a specific plan for presentation or publication of the work.
- The suitability of the proposed research project for a ten-week, on-campus fellowship;
- The willingness of the advisor to meet (in person or by video conference) bi-monthly with the student regarding the progress of the research and compliance with the conditions of the Fellowship;
- The willingness of the advisor to continue to work with the student in presenting or publishing the results of the research and the likelihood that the student will complete the Fellowship and ensuing presentation and publication;

Legoland in Johor Bahru, Malaysia
December 26th, 2008 stephen.wong
America has Disneyland and Universal Studios. Japan is famous for its Sanrio land, while Korea has Lotto World and Everland. Nearby at Hong Kong, you have Ocean Park.
Come 2013, Johor Bahru, Malaysia will have a theme park of its own as well. Legoland will the first of the 3 theme parks to be build in Johor that will complement Iskandar Malaysia to make Johor Bahru a vibrant hub for both tourism and investment. Legoland is also primed to draw tourist from Singapore, with the proximity a draw for families with young children.
Johor State Tourism and Environmental Committee chairman Hoo Seong Chang noted: "Having the presence of such a well-established brand name like Legoland sets us in the right direction in turning Iskandar Malaysia into an international holiday hotspot.. This, along with Iskandar Investment Bhd's (IIB) broader master plan to develop a fully integrated tourist hub more than complements our state's tourism objectives and efforts in driving larger inbound tourist traffic from around Asia".
Looks like the excitment has already set in, even for the adults.

they wun open on time.. look at the JB custom, delay 4 1 year! Typical of malaysia
2. jeremy | January 7th, 2009 at 9:35 AM
Legoland is not very famous actually. Iskandar Malaysia should bring in more heavyweight ones like disneyland, universal studios and even 6 flags.
3. miweekend | January 8th, 2009 at 10:36 PM
Great move! Legoland might not as popular as other theme park out there but it is an extremely great Move for JB! Look forward to it! Iskandar must prove to the world and ppl "we can!"
4. Jason | January 10th, 2009 at 10:52 PM
Legoland IS famous. In a way…
Legoland in all countries are losing money. Even Legoland UK and Legoland Germany cannot turn a profit.
Legoland Malaysia? … doomed from the outset. Unless you think that Malaysians are gonna spend more money than those other rich countries?
5. Tim | January 28th, 2009 at 3:36 PM
There is no doubt Leogland will spice up Johor Bahru entertainment and make JB a more interesting place. Let the theme park operator worry about turning in a profit.

Extracted from NST (http://www.nst.com.my/Sunday/National/20090201113746):
Legoland will be boon for kids, tourism
EVERY second, seven Lego sets are sold around the world.If all the little Lego bricks sold in a year were to be laid end to end, they would encircle the world five times.
The people behind these famous plastic bricks have good news for children in the region — Malaysia will soon have its very own Legoland theme park in 2013.
Legoland Malaysia, to be located in Iskandar Malaysia, will be the sixth theme park in the world, following those in Billund (Denmark), Windsor (England), California (USA), Günzburg (Germany) and the soon-to-be-opened one in Dubai.
What makes Legoland unique is that the attractions — whether replicas of famous landmarks, pirate ships or safari animals — are all built with Lego bricks.
John Ussher, general manager of Merlin Entertainments Group Limited (Legoland development), said Legoland is the ultimate destination for a family with young children.
"Legoland rivals any other leading theme park in the world," said Ussher on a recent visit to Johor Baru.
"Guest satisfaction scores consistently well and exceeds 95 per cent." Legoland California, for example, has been successfully established despite the area being one of the most competitive theme park markets in the world.
"Within a short distance of Legoland, we have Disneyland, SeaWorld, Six Flags and Universal Studios." The Malaysian Legoland, which will be designed and operated by the Merlin Entertainments Group Ltd,was announced in December with a planned investment of RM750 million.
Its location — 20 minutes from the Second Link — is expected to drawthe tourist crowd from Singapore.
The project is to be 80 per cent owned by a consortium led by Iskandar Investment Bhd (IIB) and the balance by Merlin Entertainments.
IIB managing director Arlida Ariff said the theme park would transform Iskandar Malaysia into an international tourist hotspot.
Arlida said there was more to come at Iskandar as Legoland Malaysia was the first of three international theme parks planned.
"We chose Legoland because it caters to a growing segment of the Asian tourist market — families with young children.
"The park has a strong selling point in offering a high level of parent-child interaction in its attractions, which is a deliberate formula used throughout the Legoland franchises." Legoland Malaysia is expected to create about 1,000 jobs in the park, while up to 5,000 jobs will be created during its construction, as well as in the related retail trade, hospitality, services and food and beverage sectors.
The entire project will include a shopping centre, offices, hotels and residential units costing a total of more than RM3.5 billion to develop.
Construction is expected to start next year.
The name says it all
LEGO is an abbreviation of two Danish words — leg and godt — meaning "play well". It's the name of the LEGO group and its ideals. The LEGO group was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Christiansen. The company has since passed from father to son, and is now owned by Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, a grandchild of the founder. It has come a long way over the past 70 years — from a small carpenter's workshop to a modern global enterprise that is now, in terms of sales, the world's sixth-largest manufacturer of toys.

hey, nice site. Do you think you can do a writeup or analysis of property investment in Iskandar especially those on horizon hills. I am interested in getting one but not sure whether it will end up like other JB projects..
8. Mack | June 29th, 2009 at 6:19 PM
Legoland theme park in UK is a complete family entertainment package. Dragon coaster is a dangerous ride, very scary for children as well as adults. Don't miss the live running shows, building workshops, lego models in all shapes and sizes, driving schools, fire academy. For more details refer http://www.journeyidea.com/legoland-theme-park-uk/

Nice to hear good progress is coming into the Iskandar Malaysia project. This will keep the momentum go as more projects are in the pipeline. Our next door neighbor will see that sooner or later, they will be missed out if they don't join the flow of investment coming into this development. No matter what they think, land scarcity will in the end poised them to decide to get out of there and invest in Iskandar Malaysia where land is abundant and cost is lower.

wow…very good property,,I'm sure a lot of vacancies for all positions soon….
We as hoteliers would appreciate to Legoland to give a change to all Malaysian to gain and share experience with us
13. funfunfun | March 1st, 2011 at 8:04 PM
temperature is 35C or 95F everyday.. Expect people to wait in hot and humid sun to get rides ? Should build more air-conditioning spot; otherwise, it is too hot for any funky land in Malaysia low-land area.
14. Christine Na | December 26th, 2011 at 8:12 PM
i think the prices of the tickets is too expensive…
i suggest offer for Malaysian or give a reasonable price…. this is my suggestion only thank you.[Reply]

"Bachelor" star Gia Allemand shocked everyone when it was revealed that she had committed suicide about a month ago. She committed suicide over supposed relationship issues and she wanted to settle down and get married. Apparently, she wasn't depressed but her mother has a theory as to why her daughter was pushed over the edge. According to a new US Weekly report published on Sept. 11, "Bachelor" star Gia Allemand's mother has now spoken out about her daughter's suicide and she has set the record straight on her supposed depression.
Her mother says that her father, Eugene Allemand, may have been a part of Gia's sadness. Her mother, Donna Micheletti, has revealed that she thinks that her father's abandonment, her relationship with Ryan Anderson and her menstrual cycle all had something to do with her suicide. "She just said, 'I'm so tired of being hurt,'" Micheletti recalled of their conversation. "I can't do this anymore.'" These were some of the final words that she told her mother.
And it sounds like Gia's menstrual cycle has been an issue for quite some time. "At that point, that day, with how she felt with her menstrual cycle, she could not see clearly," Micheletti said. "And I knew that's happened to her. I was trying to talk to her and be careful what I say because I didn't want to upset her more and I was nervous."
Dr. Phil inquired, "You're saying that this menstrual cycle would take such a powerful hold on her that she would turn so much . . ."
Of course, her mother may have known her best and it sounds like she is convinced that it had something to do with her depressive periods. What do you think of her mother's theory?

You have obviously never used DeBabelizer. Its main strength is batch processing. Photoshop is very limited in this regard. The OP wanted info on the best way to re size a batch of images, nothing else.
None of these batch image converters even come close to photoshop.

Had Cellulaze Done Monday March 26th - New York, NY
on 15 Mar 2013
Hi Wishful, I wouldn't recommend this procedure to anybody! I spent 11,500 only to look worse. I have huge dents in my legs that the doc said yet again "it's gonna look worse before it looks better"...he also said if I wasn't happy with my procedure I'd be the only one of his patients to have this and not be happy with the results...Oh really? I look worse than when I started and it's been a year! -

Hi gwen1568,
He didn't suggest daily massages but he gave me 6 free sessions of smooth shapes ( similar to vela shapes) I had my first session last week and will go for the next 5 weeks..they also offered me basically
ANYTHING I wanted...free lipo, free Botox ( I took the Botox) it was very nice to offer me that because I'm obviously not happy but if this is what I will be left with as far as results I wouldn't care if they gave me 10 free procedures and my money back I will still be so devastated and depressed I'd want to die anyways...that sounds harsh but I can't even tell you how depressed I am over this...they tell me it will look worse before it gets better but THIS much worse? And would they offer me all these free procedures worth thousands if they thought my results were good? -

Yes tree trunks! I'm 4 months out and still feel pain. I had my post op check up last week and started to cry because I told the doc that if he put all my surgeries together (I've had a lot done lol) it wouldn't even come close to how painful this recover was. He said that because of what I have said and what other women have said they are warning women that it's not minimally invasive and they are telling women they need to take moe time off work than just a few days...please, please I'm telling you that you will NOT be ok to go back to work Monday...evenif your job is sitting you will be so uncomfortable and wish someone told you to take more time off...so I'm telling you now...you are not taking enough time off...better to take more time than not enough...I'm speaking from experience...what areas are you having cellulaze done on and who's doing it? I will tell you I'm VERY unhappy with my results and when I looked atmy before and afters I thought I was looking at my befores but I realized I was looking at my afters...I ba
Led the whole way home and that whole night...I would do anything to have my old cellulite back because now I feel like I'm disfigured...I don't mean to scare you but I wish I would have waited for this procedure to be perfected instead of jumping the gun..you can email me and I'll call you to tell you in more detail if you'd like. -

Sources told ESPN.com that the most active proposal discussed by the teams would make Portland Trail Blazers swingman Gerald Wallace and Nets center Brook Lopez two of the main pieces Orlando would receive in exchange for Howard. As part of such a trade, which could be expanded to include a fourth team, sources say Orlando also would shed the long-term contracts of Hedo Turkoglu and Chris Duhon -- both would be absorbed by the Nets -- while also potentially receiving future draft considerations.

The deal would send Howard, small forward Hedo Turkoglu and point guard Chris Duhon to the Nets, with Blazers small forward Gerald Wallace, Nets centers Brook Lopez and Johan Petro and possibly a first-round draft pick going to the Magic, and numerous first-round draft picks going to Portland. ESPN.com first reported Portland's involvement, and numerous outlets have indicated that a fourth team may be pulled in to the talks as well.

Posted By barnettfan on 12/15/2011 2:52 PM Not sure if the deal is going through or not but with 4 1st round picks even if they are at the 20 -30 slot should be able to trade WAY up to get possibly in the top 5 pick. On the other side of the coin Batum had more of a presance in the play-offs than GW IMO so I think this is a better deal. As far as the season goes with Oden out and Roy gone what really made anyone feel our chances at a ring were even possible this season? I think that this was a good move. With the Clunkers getting Paul and having Griffinstien it seems unlikely that we can compete in the west with what we have.

Self-Sealing Fuel Tank
Cost: $4,700
A critical component in any vehicle is the fuel tank. If an armored car finds itself under fire, a bullet-resistant and fire-resistant fuel tank is an additional feature that many would be glad to have installed. The fuel tank can either be reinforced with ballistic quarter-inch AR500 steel or upgraded to a bullet-resistant and blast-proof self-sealing tank that uses bladder technology to prevent the tank from leaking fuel if punctured by enemy rounds. This prevents the leaked fuel from igniting and posing an added risk to occupants.

A kind of ghost metathesis, Ptero?
I still think there's metathesis going on, even for a non-rhotic speaker. In non-rhotic dialects, the "r" is not spoken, but it's still present in the speaker's mind, as an unspoken phoneme... right? (I could be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.) And if that's so, then it seems plausible that a group of RP speakers might experience metathesis with those two phonemes, the /t/ and the /r/, even though one of them is never spoken.
I think the metathesis theory is probably correct, but I also find it interesting that a non-rhotic speaker (e.g. British "received pronunciation"), would probably say, "comf-ta-bull" without any metathesis, but it parallels the rhotic "comf-ter-bull", which is the result (maybe) of metathesis.
I might, but I'm not comfterbull saying.
I looked up metathesis on Wikipedia, and found that "comfortable" is one of the examples they give to demonstrate metathesis in English. Wikipedia isn't all-knowing, but it's usually right, so I think this provides some fairly strong support for rolig's first hypothesis. Well done, rolig!
Anyone have any alternative hypotheses to contribute? -
To answer Ptero's question, "Who put the 'ter' in 'comf-ter-bull'?", I have a couple theories, perhaps not mutually exclusive:
a) It was our old friend, Mr Metathesis (the "r" and "t" sounds traded places): "com-ferta-bull" becomes "com-ftera-bull" becomes "comf-ter-bull"
b) It's a kind of rhotic-dialect insertion, like the "r" in "idea", combined with the ellision of the "-or-" syllable: "com-fer-ta-bull" becomes "comf-ta-bull" becomes, rhotically, "comf-ter-bull".
But I'm only a hobby-linguist, so I would wait for Ms Qroqqa (or, rhotically, Qroqqer) to chime in. -
That's discomfiting.
I say comfort-able, and people make fun.
Who put the "ter" in "comf-ter-bull"?
Given the spelling, you'd expect this word to be pronounced like "comfort" with the "-able" suffix on the end, but it's not even close to that. The T and the R aren't even in the proper order.
I'd be interested to hear whether there's a particular rule of linguistics that explains this shift in pronunciation. Rolig? Qroqqa? Anyone?

Refighting the Vietnam WarPosted on Jul 23, 2008Is it any wonder that John McCain was feeling a tad neglected? There was Barack Obama on a nine-day trip through eight countries with three network anchors and all John got was a lousy T-shirt. Or to be more exact, all he got was a ride in George H.W. Bush's golf cart and a rejection slip from The New York Times' Op-Ed editor. Even McCain's inner circle began to get snarky. They keep referring to Obama as "The One" and complain that the maverick boytoy McCain has been replaced in the media's heart by a new trophy wife named Barack. The straight talker's Web site even posted a video of "The Media is in Love," a montage of fawning sound bites against a soundtrack of Frankie Valli singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." Never mind that Frankie's "Eyes" was a No. 2 hit in 1967, a year when Obama was 6. For some reason, McCain's cultural references have a sell-by date of 1970. It's like the strange "Summer of Love" ad that tries to place Obama in the upheavals of 1968 when he was headed to second grade. But it wasn't just Frankie Valli that makes me feel that the Republican is locked into a 40-year-old time frame. It's the debate about Iraq itself. Gary Hart once said, "In a way, John is refighting the Vietnam War." For a long time, the former prisoner of war has believed that Vietnam should have, could have had a different ending. Americans lost the war because they lost their will. He's thought more about the sorry last chapter of that war than its foolish beginning. Advertisement McCain starts the historical clock running after the invasion and even after the surge. For all his complaints about the media, he's been able to focus the Iraq debate on the surge's success. He has said repeatedly, "I'm proud that I was right. That's what judgment is about. That's why I'm qualified to lead." But what if "we had done what Obama wanted to do" in 2002, when he was a lowly state senator and an opponent of invasion? We wouldn't have roared into this disaster. What if we dated judgment to the prewar days? Is McCain still proud that he was right? I am well aware that we cannot rewind the past. We focus now on the least catastrophic exit plan. When the Iraqi prime minister and Obama agree on a timetable, I synchronize my watch. But it's still fair to measure a candidate by his view on our entrance to this war. The current president has never admitted that we invaded Iraq on false premises or phony pre-emptives or fictitious weapons of mass destruction. Bush will breeze home to Texas without a modicum of guilt. Do we want another president like that? Let's go back to a McCain Op-Ed that did run in The New York Times before the invasion: "Only an obdurate refusal to face unpleasant facts ... could allow one to believe that we have rushed to war." Let's go back to an interview with Tim Russert when McCain was asked if he would still have gone to war even knowing there were no WMDs. "Yes," he answered without missing a beat. The only regret or anger expressed by McCain is that we didn't have enough troops earlier. Finally, in the recent, rejected Op-Ed, McCain said that by advocating timetables for withdrawal, Obama was "emulating the worst mistake of the Bush administration by waving the 'Mission Accomplished' banner prematurely." Dear John: Wasn't the "worst mistake of the Bush administration" launching the invasion? This is not a summer of love. Frankie Valli is no longer a teen idol. Iraq is not Vietnam. But Americans are in a $10 billion-a-month war with more than 4,000 dead and 30,000 wounded. We've watched the current president deny and deny that he was wrong in invading Iraq. If there's a bottom-line, rock-solid qualification for being the next president, it's a candidate who acknowledges just how badly we were misled. So far, Obama's The (Only) One.

By Jim Yell, July 26, 2008 at 5:11 am Link to this comment Ho would have loved a treaty with the US to conterbalance the giant to the North. He offered it and we refused to talk. After all they were dirty communists, never mind that Republican and business types are very enthusiastic to move industry to chinese slave labor. Instead we promoted the interests of a minority Franco Catholic Vietnamese in a majority Buddist country. The group we supported was most distinguished by their dishonesty and avarice. One of the last to rule South Vietnam used the relocation of village people as a chance to puff up his portfolio by aquiring the peasants land. There has only been one war that couldn't be avoided and that was WWII. All the others were just an exercise in tranfering the publics wealth into the pockets of the Industrial Military Complex. Sadly even WWII was used by Military Industrial Complex to make unwarrented profits and endanger the soldier in doing so.
By Shane Wilson, July 24, 2008 at 7:48 am Link to this comment Old McCain, with his imperialist mind-set, is our bridge to the 19th century. That bridge is rotten at the center. Obama isn't much, but at least he knows this year is 2008. |

Piggly Wiggly Store No. 102 / Display Center, 655 Saint Andrews Road: 2001 / 30 November 2011 28 comments
This was the first location for Piggly Wiggly store number 102.
If I have the story straight, then this store closed in 2001, moved and re-opened in the former Harris Teeter at 4350 Saint Andrews Road (and then closed for good).
After that, the Display Center appliance store moved in, and closed on 30 November 2011, leaving an interesting assortment of items behind.
This location is directly across Jamil Road from former Hilltop Restaurant, and in the same plaza as the former Capitol News Stand.
(Hat tip to commenter Andrew)
UPDATE 4 September 2012: Fixed typo in DC closing date.
Rosewood Appliance Center / DC Taylor Realty & Management Company / Rosewood Elementary School / Artshack Gallery & Supplies, 3000 Rosewood Drive: 2010 (etc) no comments
This little building on Rosewood Drive near the former Keg O' Nails was obviously a family house in the beginning. Apparently used appliance store Rosewood Appliance Center was there for around 25 years, lasting at least until 2010.
I'm not sure of the order of the follow on businesses, though I suspect that Artshack was the most recent (and which almost must be related to Art Shack Gallery Cafe). I'm quite puzzled by the fact that googling "3000 Rosewood Dr" consistently turns up Rosewood Elementary School. Clearly this building is *not* the nearby District One school. All I can think is that either A) This is a complete error that has been propagated from one web site to another or B) The school at one time leased this building as an overflow office or some such.
Appliance Professional, 214 Charleston Highway: 1 July 2010 (moved) 3 comments
I'm drawing a complete blank on Appliance Professional in West Columbia just across from Zesto. I'm sure I saw it open many times, but not being in appliance-buying-mode, my eyes just skipped right over it. Anyway, it appears they moved to Saint Andrews Road (East of Broad River Road) this summer and the building is now available.
Really, the building isn't that interesting, but I like the reflections of the Zesto cone.
UPDATE 24 Sep 2010: Added a picture of the front side of the building that I forgot.

Most religions and the government are exactly who is to say otherwise. We are physically and mentally capable of quite a few things that we don't have the right to do. Obviously, we are capable of firing shots into the air. We, however, do not have the right to do that. We are capable of killing one another and unfortunately, some people take advantage of their capabilities, but that does not make it a right. So no, we do not have the right to do everything we are capable of. If rights and capabilites were the same, we would not have laws and limitations.
