If this magnitude of effect is important, then we probably should also think further about ground currents in the room, which we have measured at various points. We have eliminated the one place where a delta-wye transformer secondary's neutral was tied to ground at two places. Now the PDUs do not indicate any ground current, whereas with the two-tie topology they did. All the rest of the equipment (e.g. HVAC) is 3-phase, so should not be a problem. But as much as 2-3A *is* flowing when we look with clamp-on meters at various ground cables. This ground current is likely related to the fact that there are three ground paths to the room, all referred back to the same earth electrode point. These paths are likely tied together in the room as well as at the remote earth electrode, creating a loop. One ground path travels with the computer power lines. A second is grounding the raised floor metal components. And a third ground travels with the power to the HVAC systems. To complicate that third path, the HVAC ground path splits between the HVAC main breaker box and the HVACs, one path going through a devoted UPS, and one directly connected to the HVACs (the two branches power different subcomponents of the HVAC). Very likely the HVAC and PDU chasses are tied to the floor grid, thereby connecting all 2-3 paths back to the earth electrode. If there's no leakage between neutral and ground anywhere, then the only other mechanism I can think of that would cause these currents is induction. Can induction typically produce currents this large on a ~1000 ft^3 ground loop? Am I missing something? David

What to do with DSQ?
What to do with DSQ?
Is a blanket disqualification for rules infractions really necessary in our sport? Some officials think we'd be better off with a system of graduated penalties. "Rules" from our April 2012 issue.
For the past 100-plus years, whenever a protest committee penalized a competitor, the penalty was almost invariably a disqualification. It used to be that if you broke a right-of-way rule, you were simply expected to retire promptly from the race. In 1973, however, the 720-degree penalty turn was introduced as an alternative penalty that a boat could take instead of retiring. From 1973 until 1996, the 720 could only be taken when the sailing instructions stated that it applied. In 1997, the 720 became the default, meaning that it applied unless the sailing instructions stated that it did not. The 720 was changed to the Two-Turns Penalty in 2005. Today, you may take a Two-Turns Penalty whenever you think you may have broken a rule of Part 2. However, if your breach results in injury, or serious damage, or in a significant advantage for you in the race or series, your on-the-water penalty is to retire (see Rule 44.1).
The intent of Rule 44.1 is to make an on-the-water penalty fit the crime and, generally, to keep boats racing. The Two-Turns Penalty, and its cousin—the One-Turn Penalty for touching a mark—have been widely accepted and applauded. There is even a movement afoot in several classes to lessen the on-the-water penalty further by requiring only a One-Turn Penalty unless the incident occurs in the zone around a mark. US Sailing is encouraging all classes to experiment with this reduced penalty and report the results of the experiment to the Racing Rules Committee.
We've developed a fair system of on-the-water penalties but, for reasons unknown, the powers that be in our sport have never seriously addressed the obvious next question: When a boat is found by the protest committee to have broken a rule and no exoneration is available to her, is a DSQ always the penalty that fits the crime?
It seems obvious to me that the penalty when a windward boat's mainsheet brushes the arm of the leeward boat's crew one minute before the start should be less than the penalty given when a port-tack boat collides with and disables a starboard-tack boat. Perhaps it would be a good idea to give the protest committee discretion to use its best judgment to give an appropriate penalty, which could be less than a DSQ.
Rule 64.1(a) is the rule that specifies DSQ as the penalty that the protest committee is to use. However, that rule is a rule that can be changed by the sailing instructions (see Rule 86.1(b)). Moreover, Rule 64.1(a) contains wording that practically invites experimentation with different penalties—it states that the penalty is a DSQ "unless some other penalty applies." Therefore, event organizers can, if they wish, freely experiment with lesser penalties than DSQ.
In our current rules, there are two rather rare rule infractions for which the protest committee is already authorized to use its discretion to penalize a boat less than a DSQ. If you break Rule 77 because your sail numbers, class insignia or, when required, your national letters are not up to snuff, the protest committee may, in lieu of disqualifying you, simply give you a warning or some other penalty less than disqualification (see Rule G4). The protest committee has the same options if you break Rule 80 by displaying advertising that is not permitted under the ISAF Advertising Code (see ISAF Regulation 20.9.2 in that code). Sailing instructions are rules and have the same status as rules in the rulebook (see the Definition Rule). The Sailing Instruction Guide in Appendix L suggests allowing penalties less than disqualification for breaches of certain sailing instructions (see Instruction 16.6 in Appendix L). Such penalties are called "discretionary penalties" and when one is given, the scoring abbreviation "DPI" is used. Instruction 16.6 suggests allowing discretionary penalties for the infractions listed in the table.
Discretionary penalties are also frequently used for offshore races, such as the Transpac or the Chicago YC's Race to Mackinac. In these races, the sailing instructions include safety and procedural rules, including rules for inspections, for reporting to the race committee at regular intervals during the race, and for carrying required safety equipment. The organizers of these races have for many years allowed the protest committee to give penalties less than DSQ for violations of those rules. In general, a discretionary penalty is a number of points, which may range from zero points (effectively a warning) up to the points for disqualification. However, when a handicap or rating system is used, the discretionary penalty for a boat may be either a number of points or a time penalty added to the boat's corrected time.

U.S.-Funded OECD "Cartel" Seeking Higher Global Taxes
IMF: Chinese Economy To Surpass U.S. By 2016
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) now predicts that the size of China's economy will surpass America's by 2016, far earlier than most mainstream economists have been forecasting. Some analysts ridiculed the Fund's prediction, but others warned that it could happen even sooner.
Rep. Paul Plans Hearing on Fed's Foreign Bailouts
Constitutionalist Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), the Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy, is planning to hold hearings about the Federal Reserve's bailouts of foreign-owned banks during the economic crisis.
Supreme Court: Fed Must Disclose Bailout Details
After the Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal of lower-court rulings, the Federal Reserve must release information within five days about its "emergency" bailouts of large banks and financial institutions undertaken in 2008 under the guise of saving the financial system.
Utah House Approves Gold, Silver as Legal Tender
The Utah House of Representatives voted on March 4 to make gold and silver coins issued by the federal government into legal tender within state borders, prompting praise from sound-money advocates across the nation. The legislation will now be taken up by the state Senate.
Fed Uses Accounting Gimmick to Hide Losses
The Federal Reserve announced that it would use a new accounting trick to conceal potential losses on its massive investment portfolio, transferring its liabilities to the U.S. Treasury instead. The new methodology would essentially prevent the central bank's bankruptcy — on paper, at least — right as the debate on its solvency heats up. But the move is already raising eyebrows among analysts, who say it could severely impact the credibility of both the Fed and the U.S. government.
Utah Could Use Gold, Silver Under Sound Money Act
In light of the U.S. dollar's continual loss of purchasing power and the historical stability of precious metals as a store of value, a new bill set to be considered in the Utah legislature would require the state government to accept taxes and pay its obligations in gold or silver upon demand.
Virginia Considers Dollar Collapse, Gold Currency
In a stark illustration of the economic fears still plaguing America, a resolution was introduced in the Virginia legislature on January 12 that would create a subcommittee to officially consider the adoption of an alternative currency in case of a total breakdown of the U.S. dollar and the Federal Reserve System.
The Emerging Global Fed
The Federal Reserve has been a nightmare for the American people. It inflates the money supply, thereby devaluing already-existing money and placing a massive hidden tax on the people via rising prices. It also uses its monopoly power to cause interest rates to go up or down, usurping the rightful place of the market and causing massive malinvestment and generally an improper and unproductive allocation of resources.
Waking up to a World Currency
If all the advocates of a world fiat currency (a currency not backed by a precious commodity like gold) were to scream at once, workers in world capitals, business centers, colleges, and news media may be deafened. And if global financial elites have their way, America will move quickly toward accepting a planetary fiat currency issued by a world central bank.

First off, I´d like to introduce myself as I am a new member to this community. My name is Leonardo, I am called Leonard or Leo by friends and family, doesnt matter to me. I am twenty years old and working to help my dad support our family.
I love reading books. Growing up, however, I was the type of kid that preferred to go outside and play or explore the neighborhood picking up a good book was he last thing on my mind. I had this mindframe up until my late high school years when I started getting a little curious as to why lots of people enjoyed reading. But it was not until this year that i made a new years resolution to read atleast fifty books throughout the year. I was not going to school in the spring and I didn´t have a job at the time so I had nothing better to do than to spend my days going to the library which, fortunately, are always near or at a park. So I would find a nice shady tree to go sit under and enjoy reading. I´m proud to let you all know I successfully accomplished my new years resolution within the first two months of the year! Anyways, I have been stuck in a rut these past few months with no books calling my attention. This year I read a book series that I accidentally came across and yet came to be my absolute favorite series of all time! It is called "The Walk" series. It consists of three books "The Walk", "Miles to go", and "The Road to Grace" by Richard Paul Evans.
What is your favorite book? I´m hoping you guys can help me out of this rut!
If you're a sports fan at all I highly recommend anything written by John Feinstein. Even if you're not a sports fan, his work is very entertaining as it focuses more on human interest stories than on the Xs and Os of sports. His golf, baseball and basketball books are particularly good. Some of my favorites are;
A Good Walk Spoiled
Let Me Tell You A Story (with Red Auerbach)
Caddy For Life
A Season On The Brink
Well...I like to play sports even though the only one I truly know the rules to is baseball haha. I am kinda of new to reading and havent read many genres so I wouldn't rule those out. I´m not a hardcore fan or anything like that but I do enjoy watching Baseball every now and then. Thanks for your recommendations, Shawn. I will look them up and check them out if I can find them at my local library!
I loved reading Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet, and the sequel World Without End wasn't half bad either, both 500+ pages great way to spend a weekend. My one book I will never get rid of is The Unlikely Spy by Daniel Silva, it is a WWII espionage tale if that is your style
You know, I never realized just how many genre´s and sub-genre´s of books there are out there. I have yet to come across a mystery/spy type book and I´m assuming that is the type "The Unlikely Spy" is, right? It does sound intriguing. I have no clue what "Pillars of the Earth" is about but i´ll be sure to check it out as well! Thanks for your reply Anthony.
Oh and I guess I am not certain what style I prefer over any other but "The Walk" Series are somewhat of Inspirational/(...I want to say adventurous because the main character travels across the country, but im not sure adventurous is the right word...) type of books so I may lean towards that, if anything. But I have read a few fiction, paranormal, adventure, Survival type of books and I enjoyed many of those. Sports and Mystery will be a first for me. Oh and most recently I´ve been getting into Biographies or Autobiographies too!
Pillars is about a 12-13th century british architect and a cathedral and the people involved in building it and the town that forms around it. It is not as dull as it sounds.
The Three Musketteers (and the entire historical series of stories that come after The Three Musketteers by Alexandre Dumas - each of them a compelling read in their own right, but really enjoyable as you follow the charactors throughout their lives.) Excellent!!
The entire 'Dune' series of (6 books) by Frank Herbert. Science fiction at its very very finest! Mind expanding books!!! I'm amazed at his creativity. Fascinating!
'The Vampire Chronicals' by Anne Rice. Several books in the series - one builds on another - and lead into the 'Taltos' series and then into 'The Mayfair Witches.' Creative! Engrossing. So readable, you'll never be able to put them down.
The entire body of work of Susan Howatch. Started out with writing family sagas with plots based on historical basis - had a religious conversion late in life - and wrote about religion-themed fascinating charactors in 'The Starbridge Series' (5 books) revolving around a cathedral in England and The Church of England - and then 3 stand-alone novels after 'The Starbridge Series' - compellingly written and you will not be able to put them down.
Did I mention my wife HATES! it when I get my nose in a book!
Happy reading, Leo!
Hahaha I know what you mean. Once you find that good book, might as well say your goodbyes to everyone for a couple of days. Thanks for your recommendations, Wayne! The three Musketteers sounds like an exciting read. I´ll have to look into the others. I never heard of them but nonetheless thanks again!
- Leo
Love the Vampire Chronicles, Menmoch is my favorite
With the movie opening this week, read Lee Child's Jack Reacher series and realize how horrible a choice Tom Cruise is and how bad ass Jack Reacher is.
For a fun, fun series in the SciFi/Fantasy I can't get enough of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files.
Awesome Thanks for the recommendations LShieldes. Thats already two votes for Jim Butcher´s Dresden Files lol I´ll have to check them out!
I'm a Sci-Fi/Fantasy fan. There are too many great books out there to really claim one as a favorite. But at the top of my list would be:
Ender series (with "Enders Game" being the best... and if any book could possibly be claimed as a favorite, this would probably be the one.)
Dune series, and Children of Dune series.
Star Wars universe novels (there are, literally, hundreds of Star Wars books.)
The Sword of Truth series.

The Our Local Food-Kaw River Valley label will unite the various sources for local foods, from grocery stores, to restaurants and farmers markets. With an eye catching label, all suppliers of local foods will benefit. Farmers can also use the label themselves to brand farm-direct products.
Educating consumers about the value of locally grown products. While awareness of local food and its importance is increasing among consumers, we hope to show consumers how easy it is to enjoy local foods on a regular basis. The OLF-KRV logo tells consumers, "You're in a place that's committed to supporting our local farms and our local economy."
The annual membership fee, normally $25, is waived for OLF-KRV Charter Farmers Market Members. 2010 Charter Membership is available at no cost to your market through a Kansas Departments of Agriculture Specialty Crop Block Grant. As a Charter Member, your market will also receive a 20% discount on its annual membership fee in future years for as long as you continue to participate in the Our Local Food-Kaw River Valley program.

Low cost housing project has huge demand in Uttar Pradesh
Real Estate News
18 May 2012
While real estate biggies like DLF, Omaxe and Ansal API are catering to the high end demand for housing in the rapidly growing state capital, a few developers have also chalked out plans for addressing the untapped demand for low cost housing segment, reports Economic Times.
Most of these low cost housing projects are coming on the outskirts of the city. "We had conducted a market research to gauge the demand for low cost housing and found that there lied a huge unmet demand from middle and low income families. To cater to this segment we have launched a low cost apartment project on Sitapur Road. The project would have 500 apartment units of 45-500 sq feet priced between Rs 7.5 and 10 lakhs each" said Director Magnum InfradevelopersLtd, Arun Kumar Chaturvedi.
The Rs 100 crore projects is spread over 2 lakh sq feet of space would have all facilities like swimming pool gym, and community centre. The company has planned similar projects in other cities of the state.
Magnum Infradevelopers would also be setting up an industrial area on the Sitapur Road where ready to move in factories or assembling units would be available for entrepreneurs wanting to start manufacturing units.
"We will design the units according to the needs of the entrepreneur and his product. We have already received huge response for this project as many businessmen starting out do not want to get into the hassle of constructing their factory unit and would prefer somebody else to do the job" Chaturvedi said.

Singer Kailash Kher has a pretty temple housed in the aangan of his bungalow. Debarati S Sen meets up with him
Small temples or puja areas inside homes are quite common in our country. One usually designates an area or part of a home, to house some form of divinity irrespective of the caste or creed one belongs to. Talented musician Kailash Kher too, has allocated a reasonably large area in his house for the Lord.
After moving into his bungalow in Juhu, Kher with help from his friends and interior designers, decorated his 6,000 square feet home with a lot of care. "My little temple is in the aangan. My wife Sheetal performs the daily rituals and puja there. We have tusli plants and other flowering plants near the temple," says Kher, the talented musician who has won over the world with his earthy, soulful voice.
Kailash has paid attention to the minutest of details while creating this puja area. There are two little temples made of white marble that have tiny idols of various Gods and Goddesses. Different kinds of outdoor as well as indoor potted plants adorn the place giving it the feel of a tiny garden of sorts. Garlands made of fresh flowers adorn the deities and their bright colours on the white background liven up the entire scenario. A white table on the left hand side of the temple area helps to store the puja samagri. Fairy lights installed above the area gives it a beautiful, serene look after sundown.
Kailash feels blessed to have a house that is large by Mumbai standards. "By God's grace I now have a big home. In Mumbai space is a major constraint. I had to hunt for a long time before I zeroed in on this house a few years ago."
Having a temple in the courtyard of one's home is a luxury that mnay cannot afford but it is common in the smaller cities in India. Kailash agrees, "Earlier people usually had massive houses and they would have large spaces especially dedicated to their kul devta. They would build large temples inside the compounds of their houses." Nowadays, people usually have nuclear families and have smaller and more compact homes. There is hardly any extra space for anything and people accommodate their puja rooms inside their house. Kher believes that given a choice, temples should not be inside houses, he concludes, "Temples should be like that - Khule aasmaan ke niche..."

For probably the first time in Delhi NCR, Nandini Buildhome Consortium Pvt. Ltd., are coming up with Metro Suites, just at the back of the metro station at Vaishali. According to company's Director, Rohit Aggarwal, "This is an ultra luxury project. We have a vast global experience and with this we will be bringing in lots of quality into our venture, which will be up to international standards."
Already excavation work has started on the project and Aggarwal claimed that they were through with 70% of the bookings of the flats that are of three dimensions that are: 1,787 sq ft; 1,525 sq ft and 1125 sq ft. The luxury project will have 120 units.
Aggarwal pointed out that the best part was that the property over which the construction will be carried out was all freehold, obtained through GDA auction. "We are as of now, selling the units at a rate of Rs.5,150 per sq. ft," he said.
The Group has clearly done their homework before venturing into their first mega project. Aggarwal said, "We did market survey and accordingly decided to allocate space for club, swimming pool, spa among other facilities. So we have the swimming pool on the rooftop as our survey pointed out that women were uncomfortable using the swimming pool if it was situated on the ground." Lots of new elements have been brought into design and construction.
Aggarwal elaborated, "For instance in place of PVC, stainless steel pipes are being used. Then we are using ACC blocks instead of bricks. The project will also have two guest suites. Then there is lot more in terms of sky garden, jacuzzi, sauna, spa, car wash and all that, that an ultra modern building today has. Also, we will be a green building that will have rain water harvesting system and solar lighting. We are also studying feasibility of installing wind mills for common area lighting."
Aggarwal claimed that their project will have the very modern fire fighting system. "Sprinklers will be installed inside every room. In case of fire, the whole building will be soaked in water," he said

After you buy a house, it needs to be registered in your name. Property registration ensures you get your ownership rights. The registration process should be in compliance with the provisions of the Indian Registration Act 1908. This procedure is completed in the office of the sub-registrar within whose jurisdiction the house is located.
Registration happens after the buyer and seller have executed the sale documents. The sale agreement needs to be registered with the Subregistrar of Assurances within four months from the date of execution. This can be extended by another four months in case of exceptional circumstances and on payment of the applicable fine. The fine may be up to 10 times the registration fee payable by the buyer.
Registration of property establishes the ownership. To register the property you have purchased, you should visit the sub-registrar's office along with the seller and two witnesses. The document to be registered should be presented in original at the office of the sub-registrar. It is better to take a few extra copies of the documents. You should attach two extra blank ledger papers at the end of the original document for endorsement by the sub-registrar.
The document should state the names of the parties – buyer and seller – along with their full addresses. Further, the details of the house, date of construction of the building, area of the house (built-up, carpet, floor, super built-up area), ward number, name of road, locality etc should be clearly filled in.
In Karnataka, in case of any property within the jurisdiction of the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) or any corporation in the State, the Khata and tax determination receipt issued by the BBMP or the respective corporation, an affidavit, sanctioned plan or conversion certificate if the property is on converted land, title deed (or allotment order, possession certificate or sales document) if the property is allotted by a government department, PAN, and declaration in Form I under the Karnataka Stamps Rules 1977 are needed.
You also need to attach a copy of the building plan showing the house, a no objection certificate from the society if applicable, allotment letter, and your photograph.
You need to pay stamp duty as applicable in the State. Also, you are required to pay the registration fee, copying fee, and fee for certified copies and file charges.
You, along with the seller, should be present before the registering officer along with the respective witnesses for the execution of the documents. The law permits that instead of the buyer and seller being present personally, their authorised power of attorney holders may be present to complete the formalities, if needed. It is to be noted that in case the principal party who appoints the power of attorney resides in any part of India, the power of attorney should be executed before a registering authority and authenticated by the authority within whose jurisdiction the principal party resides.
Once the documents are registered, you can apply for an extract of registration of documents from the office of the sub-registrar. This is also called 'Index II'. Once this is done, you can get the house transferred in your name in the municipal records.

Developers are exploring new places in and around the NCR, as the pressure of increasing population and unavailability of land forces them out of Delhi and its immediate suburbs.
One such place is East Delhi Extension. It comes under the area of Tronica City and Baghpat (Uttar Pradesh sub-region of the NCR) and is developing very fast. It is 18km from the ISBT and 14km from the Delhi border. In recent times, major realty players have started their projects here.
Even the NCR development board has given East Delhi Extension priority over other areas for development and budgetary allocations. Thus, in the near future, this area would be in demand and a safe investment destination.The Delhi government has also announced two bridges over Yamuna to ease the connectivity of this belt with North Delhi and Central Delhi.
India's first signature bridge across the Yamuna at Wazirabad promises to enhance connectivity of this place with Delhi. The cable-stayed bridge will link NH-1′s existing T-point at Wazirabad on the western bank with the marginal bund road at Khajuri Khas on the eastern bank of Yamuna, thus connecting North Delhi with East Delhi and East Delhi Extension. This bridge would be a major boon and enhance connectivity of East Delhi Extension with Delhi.
P N Singh, the vice-chairman of Baghpat Baraut Khekhra Development Authority (BBKDA), says: "The area is on prime priority of UP government and the NCR Development Board, which has announced major real estate and infrastructural development in this belt. UP Awas Vikas Parishad has recently acquired 2,700 acres for residential, commercial and recreation development. For connectivity, the road contract has already awarded; it will be a 6-lane national highway connecting Delhi-Saharanpur."
Vimal Sharma, the joint housing commissioner of UP Awas Vikas Parishad, says: "Keeping the forthcoming infrastructural requirements in mind, we have launched a residential township project, Delhi Saharanpur Marg Bhumi Vikas and Grihasthana Yojna for Aasra and Sapna Enclave on Delhi Saharanpur Marg near Tronica City.
"Of 2,700 acres acquired, 20 acres have been earmarked for the forthcoming housing project. Grihasthana Yojna will be a good alternative to the crowded Delhi region and will create an attractive environment for high-quality living, work and recreation."
S V Singh, the deputy housing commissioner of UP Awas Vikas Parishad, says: "This scheme has already been closed. Awas Vikas is now planning to launch the next scheme on the same acquired area.
"Under Delhi Saharanpur Marg Bhumi Vikas and Grihasthana Yojna, the development authority has received 5,100 applications for 4,460 built-up houses. Thus, most of the applicants are sure to get their dream house. The built-up houses will be allotted through a lucky draw. Under the scheme, there will be two types of flats: Asara Type 1 & 2 and Sapna Type 1 & 2. Asara Type1 will have a total of 1,984 flats with 33.59 sq metre super area each, while 884 Type 2 flats will have a super area of 47.73 sq metre. Sapna Type 1 will have a total of 608 units of 64.27 sq metre super area and 1,024 flats of 85.74 sq metre super area. The price of these categories ranges from Rs 5.80 lakh to Rs 21.41 lakh."
Apart from UP Awas Vikas Parishad, NBCC (National Building Construction Company) has joined hands with a private developer, Mahavir Hanuman Group, to deliver 10,000 flats. The joint venture has launched a project called NBCC Town. The first phase of this project will be up for possession this month.
Mahesh Pawar, the chairman and managing director of Mahavir Hanuman Group, says: "We have recently launched River Park. It's a township which has been subdivided into River Park I and River Park II, both over 120 acres. The township redefines lifestyle in East Delhi Extension. Set amidst nature, with Yamuna running in its backyard, River Park is all about scenic beauty. A major industrial group is also looking for a 'nano-housing' option in this area."
There is also fast development in Tronica City, part of East Delhi Extension. UPSIDC is developing the area and it is divided into residential and industrial sectors. There are nearly 12 residential sectors. Connectivity issues are being sorted out with the four-laning of the Sonia Vihar Road, widening of the Delhi-Yamunotri highway and of course, after the completion of the Signature bridge. The city is conveniently approachable from Alipur-Bund Road along Yamuna on the western side and Delhi-Saharanpur road on the east.
Ansal's East End Tronica City offers world-class roads, amenities and living conditions. And with most industries moving out to the suburbs, it is likely to be a hub of commercial activities on Delhi-Baghpat Road.
Sanjiv Chaudhary, the director of RMS Group, says: "We have seen a growth in demand in the last couple of months. People are looking for safer investments in closer proximity to Delhi. East Delhi Extension fits on both the parameters. The area is not only a safe investment destination but affordable as well."
RMS Group has also launched residential and commercial projects here. Sanjiv Chaudhary, the director of RMS Group, says: "All our real estate projects like RMS Swarneem, Plaza Tronica City, Signature Residency Tronica City, Signature Residency II, RMS 3, City Centre, etc, are going to contribute to the remarkable growth in real estate of Tronica City."
Signature bridge
With a length of around 575 metres and a height of 175 metres, the proposed Signature bridge will have a bow-shaped pylon in the middle.Two high towers will be erected to provide double-cable support in the inner periphery of the carriageway.
Plans are also afoot to construct a pedestrian subway. With four lanes, this engineering masterpiece will have 1.2-metre-wide central verge, space for anchoring cables, maintenance walkway and crash barriers on either side of the central verge. The deck will be composite (steel and concrete) while the pylon will be of steel.
Once the Signature bridge is complete, it will dramatically improve access between North and West Delhi and towards East Delhi Extension for commuters, who have to pass through the narrow lane on the present bridge in Wazirabad, leading to heavy traffic jams in peak hours.

Meerut has rapidly come up as a strategic real estate destination owing to its close proximity to the Delhi NCR. It is connected to Delhi by NH-58.
Today, as the mid- and the lower-middle class end users find property in the NCR out of their reach with real estate prices hitting the roof here, Meerut has shaped up as an ideal destination catering to the increasing housing demands on one hand, while maintaining the prices within affordable limits on the other.
Forthcoming real estate projects
Real estate in Meerut is riding on the crest of increasing demand, boosted by large availability of land at low prices. The market is demonstrating buoyancy with the presence of prominent builders like Ansal API, Supertech Ltd, MSX Developers, Era Group, Majestic Properties, DLF, and Omaxe.
Meerut is also seeing an upswing in prices owing to the presence of leading construction companies, which are eager to buy land for their projects. Market watcher say property prices in Meerut have trebled in the past two years.
Residential property
Excellent infrastructure facilities, sound planning and top-grade security of some of the housing projects on the outskirts of Meerut has increased demand in this area. The most sought-after location is along the Meerut Bypass.
Also, the Hapur Road and the Cantonment Road are gaining prominence as ideal destinations for property investments and are attracting large-scale developments. Of late, commercial and residential complexes are coming up on Mawana Road and Modipuram on the Muzaffarnagar Highway.
Prominent builders are coming up with new projects like Ansal Housing, a residential township by Ansal API; Sports City, Shopprix and Palm Greens by the Supertech Group, and a two residential projects and a mall by the Era Group. Other builders like Saamag Group have residential projects like Saga Habitat, Ark City and Coral Springs, while the Gayatri Group is building many residential projects here.
Commercial property
High-end commercial development is also taking place in Meerut, in a limited way though. Rates of agricultural land here are growing mainly in the areas adjacent the main roads; they hover between Rs 26 lakh and Rs 34 lakh per hectare, whereas for other purposes, the prices have increased from Rs 43 lakh to Rs 54 lakh per hectare. Prices of agricultural lands along the city roads are also appreciating by the day, with the rates ranging from Rs 21 lakh per hectare to Rs 24 lakh per hectare. For the other purposes, the rates are over Rs 26 lakh per hectare.
Why Meerut?
Pranav Ansal, the vice-chairman of Ansal API, says: "With an increase in the number of domestic and foreign players across industries shifting base to Tier II cities, demand for such townships is on a high. With this mission, we have planned to develop a Signature Township, Sushant City, over 300 acres. It would offer an array of options like built-up houses, independent floors, bungalows and villas. The township will cater to housing requirements of more than 5,000 families."
R K Arora, the chairman and managing director of Supertech Group, says: "Here
price of residential property varies from Rs 2,350 per sq metre to Rs 16,500 per sq metre, depending on the location. Earlier, property prices in Gurgaon and Noida were considered to be going through the roof, which drove property buyers to the other parts of the NCR. Price of land in Meerut is not so high but the property market is certainly showing phenomenal potential for growth. For the people who cannot afford an apartment in Delhi and yet want to remain near the city, Meerut offers a cost effective option."
Manoj Gaur, the managing director of Gaursons Ltd, says: "Meerut is a fast developing city and is giving a tough competition to other NCR cities like Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, which have become very costly for the middle class. As land is still freely available here, builders are making a beeline for Meerut. The city is only around 70km from Delhi."
Thousands of people commute daily to the Delhi NCR for work from Meerut. Keeping this in mind, various development authorities in the NCR, in concert with the Meerut Development Authority, have planned for an expressway between Delhi and Meerut, as well as for the extension of the Metro line from Delhi border to Meerut.
This is expected to bring down the commuting time between Delhi and Meerut to just 45 minutes. This will boost the overall real estate development in the city and, in the long run, return impressive returns on investment on property here.
Now, it will be easy to move from Delhi (Anand Vihar) to Meerut as the authority is all set to start the work on Rapid Rail Transit System and Delhi-Meerut Expressway.
An elevated railway track will be aligned to the expressway route. The length of this proposed track is 67km, with an estimated cost of Rs 1,040 crore. The 64km long expressway itself is estimated to cost Rs 4,500 crore and is likely to be completed by 2015. The first 8km of the expressway from Nizamuddin Bridge to Ghaziabad border will have 16 lanes.
The expressway will cover 28km of NH-24 between Ghaziabad border and Dasna and this stretch will be widened to 14 lanes, from six lanes, according to the final plan. Also, a 36km stretch between Dasna and Meerut will be constructed as a fourlane highway. The tender of this project has been given to the Delhi Integrated Multimodal Transport System (DIMTS) by the NCR planning board. Under this project, stations are likely to be constructed at a gap of 4-5km.
Anand Vihar, Vaishali, Mohan Nagar, Meerut Road (Airtel Cut) Morta, Duhai, Murad Nagar, Gang Nahar, Modi Nagar, Mohiuddinpur, Meerut Bypass Cut and Pallavpuram are the proposed halts of this Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS). An underground track will be set up from Anand Vihar to Dabur, due to the Metro project.
However, there is a consensus among the officers concerned that the Metro Rail will not come in the way of the high speed train. The consultant company has designed the entire project in a manner that there is no need to acquire or demolish any existing property. The track will be underground from Anand Vihar to Dabur and then run on elevated track up to Meerut.
The average speed of the Metro rail in Delhi is approximately 30-40km per hour but the speed of this rapid train will be 150km per hour. It is hoped that one can reach Meerut from Delhi within 50 minutes, which was not possible earlier. The services of two passenger and express trains could be available on the two proposed track.

Consumers who invest in residential property in Dwarka Expressway are mainly booking for the purpose of return on investment (ROI), according to realtors. As per a survey by MagicBricks.com, 70% of the realtors believe that the key reason behind investment in this growth corridor is ROI. Majority of the demand is from Delhi/NCR region, followed by Mumbai, Bangalore and Pune, the survey pointed out.
Despite rising interest rates, high prices and inflationary pressures, buyers continue to invest in real estate, highlighting that consumers still treat this sector as a safe asset class. Realtors highlighted that there is 96% demand for apartments from buyers, against 4% buyers who invest in plots.
Of this total demand, 63% buyers opt for 2BHK apartments while 30% demand is for 3BHK apartments. Users have also posed queries related to investments in Dwarka Expressway on Open House, a discussion forum platform on magicbricks.com where property queries are answered.
Shishir Gupta, local realtor with Property Discount In advised prospective buyers to buy ready-to-move-in property in Gurgaon. "That will be safer and that will save you tax. If you are buying for personal living, then buying ready-to-move will save you from paying rent," he said.
Even buyers seem to find it more pragmatic to buy at the ready-to-move-in stage. The survey highlighted that 56% prefer to buy during launch stage. Whereas, 30% want to buy during the under-construction stage and remaining 15% want to buy in the close to completion stage.
Gupta added that Dwarka Expressway will give a buyer better returns after 5 years, as right now it is lacking basic infrastructure like roads. But, after 5 years it will have very good infrastructure, he pointed out. Approximately 52% realtors pointed out in the survey that the appreciation that one can expect from this area would be 15% and beyond in the next 3-4 years. While, 26% believe that the return would be in the range of 10-15% in the same period.
As brand name is of immediate importance for buyers today, realtors pointed out in the magicbricks.com survey that 78% buyers wish to purchase an apartment from a reputed developer and 15% are open to buying from regional developers. IndiaBulls Centrum Park and Enigma (Sector 103 & 110), Raheja Vedas & Shilas (Sector 108 & 109), Mahindra Lifespaces Aura (Sector 110), BPTP Amstoria (Sector 102), Earth Infrastructure Copia (Sector 112) are some builders who have already launched their projects along the Dwarka Expressway.
Akash Kohli of Escalade Infratech Pvt Ltd said, "Projects such as Raheja Shila, Indiabulls Centrum Park and Mahindra Aura are ready and expected to give possession by 2012 end. There is a lot of demand from end-users in the resale market because of affordable values and the scarcity of alternate properties within this range in the established sectors of Gurgaon (in the stretch closer to Delhi)."
According to the survey, realtors believe that 70% buyers prefer semi-furnished apartments and remaining 30% prefer furnished apartments. Other factors that rank high in the list for buyers looking to invest in Dwarka Expressway include affordable rate, availability of various residential formats, and end use.
A lot of people are now sceptical about when the Expressway will be operational. Some predict within this year while others believe that it will still take a year. About 63% realtors believe that Dwarka Expressway will be operational within 2 years or more and 30% are of the opinion that Expressway could be operational within 1 to 2 years.

The economically weaker sections and middle-income groups (MIGs) can heave a sigh of relief with the proposed mega township project coming up in Thirumazhisai on the Chennai-Bangalore highway.
Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa has recently announced several housing projects to enable the residents of the city to own houses at affordable prices. The highlight of the projects is a proposed satellite township which is to be built at a cost of Rs 2,160 crore near the city, besides construction of flats near Ashok Pillar and Koyambedu and a 17-storey mega office complex at Nandanam, all at an estimated cost of Rs 349 crore.
The satellite township to be set up in Thirumazhisai will bring together the villages of Chembarambakkam, Kuthambakkam, Parvatharajapuram, Narasingapuram and Vellavedu as well as 311.05 acres of land belonging to the Tamil Nadu Housing Board. The government has already acquired some land but an approach road to the township would be laid in 12.87 acres of land currently owned by private parties.
The government is planning to build 18,000 multi-storey apartments in the EWS and MIG categories. It has already appointed advisors to analyse the facts and figures and the type of development that would be needed taking into account the housing shortage in the city. A feasibility study will be done and a report will be submitted to the government. The government is serious to go ahead with the scheme as official announcement has already been made, say official sources.
The government is also seriously considering development of the mega township project through PPP model for all categories of people. This will also benefit the blue collared workers in the industrial corridors of Irungattukotai and electronic hardware corridor who are now commuting from places like Kancheepuram. As of now, private developers are catering to the housing demand in the area but still the supply is felt inadequate considering the surge in demand in and around the area. Besides the private sector development is becoming unaffordable for the workers employed in the area.
In a related development, action is being taken to demolish the existing old dilapidated commercial complexes, Office complexes and Community Halls located in six places in Chennai city and reconstruct the same with more FSI at an approximate cost of Rs.13.90 crores and thus realise more revenue to Tamil Nadu Housing Board.

Come May, property owners can book a slot at the sub-registrar's office for registering property instead of having to stand in the queue for his or her turn to meet the sub-registrar. Heralding an era of online registration on the lines of slot booking for passport applications, the stamps and registration department has simplified the process of registration of property as well as minimized the possibility of duplicate or bogus registrations.
The registration process will begin on May 1. At present, the department is uploading every survey number in the state and the properties owned by the government and private along with the land assigned to the weaker section or for any other purpose for the benefit of prospective buyers to know the legal status of the property.
The prospective buyer can verify whether a particular land or property they want to purchase is eligible for registration or not by keying in the survey number on the department website.
Even though the stamps and registration department was computerized long ago, the computers were being used for minimal purposes like a typewriter. Now, with the introduction of the central software, the entire profile of the land in the state will be in public domain.
Commissioner and inspector general, stamps and registration, Madhusudhan Rao said in the first phase the public will be able to access the data through APonline and Mee Seva. Gradually, it would be made an open access system, he informed. The data available online will include the list of land assigned to SCs and STs, government land, prohibited lands and details of the earlier transactions. The department at present is in the final stages of connecting every registrar office in the state to the central server.
By April end, the entire list of prohibited properties such as temple lands, list of GPAs since 1995, list of the cancelled GPAs and the market value of the properties would be available online for all to peruse through. "Of the 430 offices, 72 offices have already been connected to the central server. By the end of April, 100 more offices will be added to the network," Rao said.
The huge work of uploading all the survey numbers is being done with the help of the revenue department, he said. The ultimate idea is to make the registration process as easy as booking a railway ticket in the reservation counter, Rao told TOI.
"One can book a slot for registration from the AP online or Mee Seva websites to ascertain the property value, cross check whether a property is legal or not, find out the amount of tax to be paid etc.
Once the slot is allotted for registration, jumping the queue is not possible for the registering authority without recording a valid reason," Madhusudhan Rao said and added that the commissioner could monitor the number of properties that were registered each day and the time taken by the officials for the same.

The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has decided to sell plots and land in a big way in the new financial year (2012-13) to bail out the organisation from financial crisis. The authority hopes to collect around Rs 350 crore revenue in the next financial year by auctioning plots.
The HMDA executive committee, headed by in-charge commissioner MT Krishna Babu, on Monday approved the authority's budget with an outlay of Rs 2,938 crore. While revenue receipts have been estimated at Rs 973 crore in the proposed budget, the revenue expenditure has been pegged at Rs 756 crore. Of the revenue surplus of Rs 217 crore, Rs 212 crore would be diverted to 'sinking fund', interest on loans and other debts taken by the HMDA from banks and other financial institutions. HMDA has taken about Rs 1,100 crore as loan from various financial institutions and has been paying Rs 14 crore interest every month.
In the 2011-12 budget, HMDA estimated Rs 864 crore revenue from development charges, rental income and advertisement. However, due to slowdown in the realty and infrastructure sectors, it could get only Rs 443 crore. It could raise only Rs 158 crore from development charges, which is the main source of income, in the current year.
Now, it has doubled the revenue receipts to Rs 973 crore than the actual revenue of 2011-12 hoping it would raise Rs 394 crore from development charges, LRS and penalty from unauthorised engineering colleges. HMDA also hopes to get Rs 540 crore grant from the state government to clear tax liability with the income-tax department.
Regarding capital receipts (major revenue sources), the authority expects Rs 1,964 crore from government grants, sale of plots and land, development of townships and borrowings. Of the total capital receipts, it anticipates Rs 350 crore from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for carrying out work on Outer Ring Road (ORR). In the current year too, the HMDA had planned to collect Rs 362 crore government grants under various schemes, but it could get only Rs 197 crore. Under capital expenditure, top priority has been given to ORR by allocating Rs 158 crore as the eight-lane carriageway would be completed by the end of 2012.
"HMDA has prepared the budget by taking factors such as revenue, capital receipts and expenditure into consideration," HMDA chief accounts officer B Vishwanathama said.

Out of 5.3 million expatriate Indians across Association of Gulf Cooperation Council countries (AGCC), 1.7 million non-resident Indians (NRIs) live in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). And Dubai constitutes 60% of them where 30 representative offices of Indian developers are showcasing residential and commercial projects developed by them across India.
Indian developers who have established their own representative offices in Gulf include Brigade, Sobha, DLF, Mantri Developers, Nyati group, Nirmal, Unitech, Hiranandani, ETA Star Properties and a few others.
The potential for marketing Indian real estate continues in other AGCC countries like Saudi Arabia but the entry barriers are major deterrents. Other countries like Kuwait and Oman offer scope for expatriate Indians' investment in real estate. However, it is said that among all the AGCC countries, Qatar is relatively insulated from global recession and the income levels continue to rise but at the same time living cost is inching high. It is yet to be fully tapped by Indian developers for marketing real estate.
While the initial establishment expenses cost around Rs 10 lakh -Rs 15 lakh for setting up operations in Dubai, recurring annual expenditure would be in the region of Rs 13 lakh.
The influx of migrants to Gulf and the growing opportunities to market across the AGCC countries have made Dubai as the launch pad for many of the Indian property developers to go ahead and establish their own operations over a period of years. Periodical property shows held in Dubai have enabled them to reinforce their continued commitment and service to Gulf NRIs. Moreover, this has given the NRIs requisite confidence level to directly deal with the company representatives.
Estate agents charge anywhere between 2 and 5 per cent as brokerage fee and people who are familiar with the trade feel that it would be advisable for Indian developers to outsource their marketing exercise rather than establish their own representative offices as the operating costs are inching high nowadays.
It is not only the developers but also the housing finance companies like HDFC, LICHF and banks like Axis Bank and ICICI have established themselves to get a slice of the home loan market in the Gulf. However, ICICI Bank does not have licence for home business now. The overall home loan business is said to range from Rs 720 crore – Rs 800 crore every year in Dubai alone. Nationalised banks like Bank of Baroda, State Bank of India and Canara Bank have presence for decades through their branches and in association with exchange houses but they are not aggressive like other players to promote home loan business.
The dip in savings and affordability levels has also necessitated Gulf expatriates to lower their expectations. Off late, the demand for affordable housing in the price range of Rs 30 lakh to 35 lakh has also surged. Besides building capital assets back home, it is the capital appreciation that drives Gulf NRIs to seriously look at investing in real estate back home.
Due to the job security and the uncertainty surrounding the overall Gulf scenario, it is not easy for developers to sustain their operations unless the sales volume justifies and the company is willing to absorb the overheads year after year. And it is not a cake walk for even leading developers to sustain the Gulf operations as a few leading developers from NCR region have downed their shutters during 2008 and 2009. Even today overheads are considered high.
Time was when local real estate market in Dubai in particular zoomed and many Indian realty outlets jumped into the bandwagon to make a fortune but times are changing now. They are struggling to sustain their operations now and many of them are now turning towards marketing Indian real estate.

As parents, educators and city leaders gathered at a Roxbury school Saturday morning to talk about revamping Boston's school choice system, the conversation kept turning to the sometimes dramatic inequalities among the city's schools. "Until we make every school equal, then we can talk about changing the school assignment process,'' said Karen Kast-McBride, a Roslindale parent who has two children in the system. Interest in neighborhood schools - and the notion that families sharing a nearby school might build a stronger community - as fueled a new discussion about changing the school assignment process.

Research shows that Americans don't know their food pyramid as well as they should. In fact, the average U.S. consumer eats too much meat and grain and not enough fruits and vegetables, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Meat consumption is about 20% higher than it should be, while fruit consumption is about 60% lower than it should be. Eat a healthier diet by planning your grocery list around the USDA food pyramid to create the ultimate grocery list. Eating a balanced diet will help you and your family stay healthy and happy.
Whole Grains:
Make sure that you have whole grain bread instead of white bread, and whole grain rice instead of white rice on your grocery list. This could include grocery store items with bran and oats. At least half of your grains consumed should be whole grains, according to the food pyramid.
Healthy Fats and Oils
Average American gets 1/3 or more of his/her daily calories from fats, but stick to healthy fats and oils for your grocery list like those in nuts, seeds, avocados, and salmon.
Vegetables and Fruits
Make sure you have bountiful amounts of produce in the fridge and on your grocery list. In general, we should get about 3-5 servings of veggies and 2-4 servings of fruit every day. One fruit serving could be made up of 1 apple or a 1/2 cup of chopped fruit, while vegetable servings about be about 1 cup of raw, leafy veggies.
Meat, Fish, Poultry, Eggs, Nuts, Seeds, Beans, and Tofu
Proteins should be limited to about 2-3 servings per day. Two to three ounces of cooked lean meat, poultry, or fish makes up one serving. If you don't already, put fish on your ultimate grocery list for a boost of omega-3 fatty acids. Seeds and beans are all plant foods rich in protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals. Replace cookies or potato chips with nuts, which can make a great snack when eaten within reason. Sunflower seeds also make a great snack that's perfect to take on the road.
Dairy or Vitamin D/Calcium Supplements
Dairy is at the top of the food pyramid because these items can contain a lot of saturated fat and cheese is high in sodium. Stick to 1-2 servings per day or take vitamins. One serving size could include 1 cup of yogurt or 1 1/2 ounces of natural cheese. If you're dairy-free or vegan, try picking up a calcium and vitamin D supplement at a health foods store. Calcium supplements are better absorbed when taken in 500 mg dosages several time throughout the day. Your overall calcium dosage will depend on your general calcium intake and diet. The body requires vitamin D to absorb calcium, so many calcium supplements are paired with vitamin D for maximum absorption.
With an ultimate grocery list in tow, you'll never have to worry about eating a balanced diet and getting the right nutrients. Just follow your healthy grocery list, and you'll feel more energized and healthier in weeks.

Register Now! August 9 & November 1 in LA and October 18 in NYC.
Thousands of senior marketing, product, brand, and operating executives have gained the awareness and strategic vision necessary to connect with young consumers by attending Trend School. Part grad class, part mini-conference, part networking event, Trend School goes beyond what's happening with young consumers by delving into why they do what they do. These daylong sessions are intimate and interactive, featuring product samples, taste tests and tech demos, as well as featuring an exclusive curriculum drawn from three distinct sources:
Select Cassandra Content - new "macro" trends as well as emerging movements in web/tech, new media, entertainment, fashion, retail, food, and beauty
Unfiltered Voices of Young Consumers - engage directly with Gen Ys through a live facilitated panel discussion and Q&A
Expert Speakers & Panelists – progressive innovators who share their knowledge and perspectives on consumers, today and into the future
In our upcoming Trend Schools in Los Angeles and New York we will reevaluate who Gen Y is today, including a deep investigation of how their identities have shifted from a decade ago when the world's post 9-11 hangover and the reality of an unstable global economy began to affect their lives.
We'll explore:
…How today's Ys are evaluating their own social media reflections compulsively, to the point where their web presence is now irrevocably tied to their self-worth. This emergent Web Esteem contributes greatly to their feelings about themselves and, perhaps more importantly, how they feel others see them.
…Why, in sharp contrast to the more traditional paths of past generations, Ys are less likely to define themselves mainly by their career history. As a result, it's their Life Resume — as opposed to their career resume – that has emerged as the principal tool for documenting their achievements and success in life.
…How a new Challenger mindset is pushing Ys to achieve their goals through creative sprints, daily challenges, and even deprivation experiments.
…The Boomerang Effect, Living Solo and Quarter Life Crisis, all of which are key themes in the Quarter Life, a life stage of extended adolescence that is shifting the behaviors, attitudes and preferences of post-college consumers.

Baxter, James K.
Baxter, James K. 1926–1972
A New Zealand poet, playwright, and critic, Baxter is generally ranked among the finest authors that country has produced. His work is strongly regional, drawing inspiration from the New Zealand wilderness, its tribal history, and natural cycles. Baxter's rejection of conventional social standards is evidenced by the unorthodoxy of much of his verse. A devout Christian, he has shaped his poetic philosophy to include elements of both religious and classical mythology, creating a viewpoint that is as highly moral as it is individualistic. To Baxter, a poem must be "a cell of good living in a corrupt society." Stylistically, his work is lyrical and metaphorical, and often shows the influence of Lawrence Durrell and Robert Lowell. (See also Contemporary Authors, Vols. 77-80.)
E. H. McCORMICK
[James K. Baxter] is, indeed, the central figure in the contemporary scene, mediator among writers of different ages and outlooks, focus of highest hopes for the future. Not that he belongs in the category of the 'promising'; while still in his early thirties, his past as poet and critic is already substantial…. Familiar themes—nature's menace, the spiritual strength of the Polynesians, the precariousness of European occupation—reappeared [in Beyond the Palisade (1944)], acquiring fresh force through Baxter's matchless gift of phrase and lyric. This indigenous vein, with others exposed by the youthful virtuoso, might have occupied a lesser poet for the rest of his career. But Baxter has repeatedly been compelled to disappoint expectations, to follow not the predictable and approved course but the stonier path dictated by his own daimon. His next work, Blow, Wind of Fruitfulness (1948), was superficially less attractive than its predecessor, though it contained profounder poetry. It seemed to proceed from a state of spiritual depression, reflected in the images of winter pervading the collection and in the studied avoidance of rhetoric…. Recent Trends in New Zealand Poetry (1951) was remarkable not merely for the maturity of its judgments but for its strong ethical bias. Poetry, Baxter affirmed, 'should contain moral truth,' every poet 'should be a prophet according to his lights.'… The garments of teacher and...

Roger Garfitt
When James K. Baxter, who died far too young in New Zealand last year, began his last book [Runes] with a section entitled 'after Catullus', it was anything but an academic exercise. One of the sources of Baxter's power was that when he drew on myth or literature, whether classical or Biblical, it no longer seemed an outside allusion, but became a natural source of reference, immediate and intimate…. What he shared with Catullus, and with Rimbaud, whom he translated brilliantly, was a primary intensity of feeling, an apprehension in which the passing detail retained its depth of sensuous texture, yet acquired an almost elemental force. It brings him equally close to the Jacobeans, who experienced afresh, in the tropes of classical rhetoric, the shock of mortality—'I thought, shoving my muscle through black hair, / "What is a man, this glittering dung-fed fly / Who burrows in foul earth?"' ('Henley Pub', from Selected Poems)—and gave him an affinity with his Calvinist forebears that was perhaps more formative than his own Roman Catholic belief…. [His] urgency and directness are not qualities he has learned from Catullus: they are constant throughout his work.
What he does gain from Catullus is an extra impudence, a greater colloquial freedom, which enables him to bring off the Catullan jokes perfectly…. When this freedom is added to his own world-weariness, it produces a voice that is nearly hysterical in its...

Charles Doyle
More clearly than with many artists, Baxter's life and work are interdependent. From the first a controversial and complex figure, he apparently contained within himself profound contradictions. Deeply moral, he flaunted the conventions of his society over and over again….
Finding much in New Zealand life to attack, he yet realized that his true personal center was inseparable from his own country. (p. 19)
His four books of poetry … were widely recognized as the work of a major talent. Presumably, had he been a British or American poet his name would now be much better known. Yet, although one of the finest poets of his generation writing in English, he made virtually no effort to establish a reputation outside the confines of his own small country. This circumstance derives from one of his great strengths, his rootedness in the land and community in which he lived. (p. 20)
Indications throughout Baxter's writings, at every stage, suggest that he was naturally disposed to a belief in God, and that for him the Christian religion was a matter of serious concern. (pp. 30-1)
Pervaded by spirituality as they are, his last writings continue to manifest such apparent contradictions [as Baxter's lifestyle itself did, combining the spiritual with the crude]. But they may be more apparent than real. Baxter had always been this kind of mixture, and at the end, many would say, his life was...

This has been one of your best posts. It moved me. I really don't know what else to say.
I also have an autoimmune disease, fortunately it isn't as debilitating as MS. I am so happy when I am well enough to get out for a ride. Don't take your life & health for granted, get out there and ride. Great post!
Yes, a great post and particularly relevant for me. Like you, I started at an early age without training wheels, but somehow got off the bike for many years and only took it up again 5 years ago, when I decided to ride the MS Grape Escape fundraiser here in the Cowichan Valley.
My brother-in-law, also named Mike, has MS and it seemed like a good thing to do. It was, of course, and apart from raising a good few bucks for MS research and services, it's got me back riding. I'm now into randonneuring, and logged my March 200 km permanent yesterday.
It's kind of perverse that something as rotten as MS has resulted in something so great for me, but Mike would have MS all the same, and now I get to feel that I'm actually doing something about it. Mike's two kids and I have formed a fundraising team, recruiting a variety of friends, and between us we've been bringing in about $20K in each of the last few years, so these events can really make a difference.
So please be encouraged to get out and ride one, or support others who are - apart from the money that gets raised, just the fact that people are out doing it means a lot to the ones who are stuck in the wheelchairs. - 10:33 AM
Good comments, James, and I'm sure Mike appreciates the tribute and "ride" down memory lane.
MS is an autoimmune disease affecting the myelin sheath surrounding the nerve. This enables more rapid signal travel, among other things. In the brain, without such "insulation," there can be "cross talk" or signals moving to nerves not meant to receive such.
Peripherally, this means slowing of the signal from the brain to the muscle, leading to incoordination and muscle degeneration from lack of coordinated stimulus.
Again, thanks for writing such thoughts and feelings. - 1:18 PM
- Mike, Sr. said...
ms is an awful disease but i believe underneath it,is the real person.I am so lucky to have known your bro,he is so strong despite his ms.He knows his life is limited for so long until the lord will take him,but until than he keeps going!

The Salts extend their lead at the top of the table
5:42pm Wednesday 4th September 2013 in Other Football
Epsom & Ewell extended their lead at the top of the Combined Counties League Premier Division to four points, thanks a 3-2 win at Ash on Saturday.
The game had a lively opening with Ash taking the lead from a John Brogden header from a corner in only the second minute.
However, within 60 seconds, the Salts were level when Kyle Hough picked up a corner on the edge of the box and fired home a deflected shot.
The lively striker scored again on 16 minutes when a run from the edge of the box took him past two defenders to finish confidently.
Ash fought back, pressing the ball hard from midfield and a stray backpass fell to striker Karl Dallaway who equalised in the 28th minute.
During the latter stages of the first half and during the second the Salts started to get more on top of the game .
And they got their due reward when Sam Currie's pinpoint cross found Robbie Burns who chested down into space for himself to finish on the hour mark.
Epsom made several more good chances but could not extend the lead and needed Kieran Campbell's double save just before the end to preserve the three points.
The Salts' take on Bedfont Sports at Chipstead in the league on Saturday, while their defence of the League Cup starts at Horley next Tuesday night.

What the Press say
"The winter walker's quest for a roaring fire ends at Linthwaite House, where you can ease your aching limbs and be tempted never to stray outside the confines of your armchair. Indeed with a view like this - looking down on to Lake Windermere with the Langdale fells beyond - you hardly need to. The fireside warmth is carried through the interiors, punctuated with rich kilims and stacks of worn leather trunks. You will be pampered but not swamped by service, free to wander off and colonise your own little corner - perhaps a spot by the hotel's private tarn or a cosy sofa to curl up in"...The English Home, January 2003.
