Sonia Gandhi, Sushma Swaraj, Jayaprada, others assets: Silver adds sheen
Mon Apr 14 2014, 22:32 hrs
Silver has added a sparkle to assets declared by many women leaders in fray for
Lok Sabha elections
, including biggies like
Sonia Gandhi
Sushma Swaraj
, as a spike in the price of white metal has pushed up their wealth. The price of silver, also known as poor man's gold, has nearly doubled in the past five years and currently stands at nearly Rs 43,000 per kilogram. An analysis of affidavits filed by some of the prominent candidates contesting the Lok Sabha polls reveal that many of them possess silver assets - including jewellery and articles. Value of these items has grown considerably on the back of increased prices. (Photo: AP)
In most of these cases, the silver assets owned by the leaders are their ancestral properties. The value of silver assets of Congress President
Sonia Gandhi
, who is contesting from Rae Bareli, has surged by nearly Rs 21 lakh in the past five years. She has 88 kilograms of silver and its value has jumped to Rs 39.16 lakh this year from about Rs 18.37 lakh in 2009, as per her election affidavits. The quantity remained unchanged from 2009. (Sonia Gandhi photo by AP)
Cine star
Jayaprada Nahata
, who is fighting from Uttar Pradesh on RLD ticket, has disclosed that 1.5 kilogram owned by her is now worth over Rs 69,000. This marks a significant rise from the earlier recorded value of her silver at about Rs 30,000 in 2009. (Jayaprada photo: AP)
Congress leader
Chandresh Kumari Katoch
, fighting the polls from Rajasthan, too has seen the value of her silver assets more than double to Rs 13.5 lakh. In 2009 and 2014, the total quantity of silver owned by her has remained same at 30 kilogram. (Chandresh Kumari Katoch photo: PTI)
Another well-known politician who seems to have a liking for silver is senior BJP leader
Sushma Swaraj
. As per the latest affidavit, her silver assets have increased to 5.5 kilogram, now worth over Rs 2.36 lakh, whereas she just owned about 400 grams in 2009. (AP)
Congress leader Girija Vyas owns 2.5 kilogram silver, valued at about Rs 1.15 lakh. Among others, Union Minister and Congress member Preneet Kaur has mentioned in her 2014 affidavit that she has Rs 3 lakh worth silver. NCP leader and Union Minister Sharad Pawar's daughter Supriya Sule owns silver valued at around Rs 4.3 lakh. Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit has disclosed silver assets to the tune of Rs 1.36 lakh. (Sharad Pawar Photo: AP)
Not only the women candidates in the fray, in many cases, the spouses of male candidates also own silver articles. Expelled BJP leader
Jaswant Singh's
wife has seen the value of silver utensils -- weighing seven kilogram -- more than double in the past five years to Rs 32 lakh. (Photo: PTI)

His new project is 'Free Spirit', a critically acclaimed Live DVD/Studio CD set that features Lincoln Center Jazz trombonist Ron Westray and some of Toronto's finest jazz players.
Richard was awarded the Roy Thomson Hall Award of Recognition in 2008 for his contribution to Toronto musical and artistic community. He won a 2003 Juno Award for his jazz debut 'Tales from the Blue Lounge' and was nominated for the Prix du Jazz at the 2003 Montreal Jazz Festival.

August 18th Jazz Event 2012
This week-end we are having our forth Jazz Event of 2012 Edition. This week our two special guests: Aaron Carter on bass and Matt Newton on piano.
Gerard Sternik / drums is pleased to welcome Michael Grace / sax, with special guests Matt Newton / piano and Aaron Carter / bass, for an evening of live contemporary Jazz music on August the 18th.
Arrive early to get your seat for two sets of fantastic music.
Show time is 7:30 pm.
Aaron Carter
Toronto-born double bass player Aaron Carter had an early start playing piano at age 9, and the guitar a few years after that, laid the groundwork for his first experiences with the double bass. His eagerness - combined with a strong work ethic and a genuine love of swing, bebop, and modern jazz – allowed him to develop into a hard-swinging, flexible, and quick-witted section player.Aaron draws a strong influence from many great bass players and the groups they played in. The singing legato of Red Mitchell, the girth and grit of Wilbur Ware, and the buoyancy and drive of Paul Chambers all factor into his concept of double bass playing.
Aaron's current project is a trio with Robb Cappelletto on guitar and the great Norman Marshall Villeneuve on drums.
Matt Newton
Matt Newton is a Toronto based pianist, composer and educator. He is a graduate of the University of Toronto Jazz Program (2004) where he studied privately with world-class pianists Gary Williamson, and David Braid. Matt also attended the Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music (2006) where he studied with world renowned trumpeter/composer Dave Douglas, and Miles Davis's last pianist, Deron Johnson.
Matt has appeared in numerous venues and has contributed to an array of jazz festivals: The Ottawa International Jazz Festival, TD Downtown Toronto Jazz Festival, Toronto Distillery Jazz Festival, Beaches Jazz Festival, and the Art of Jazz festival.
As a sideman, Matt is featured on a few recent recordings of note: guitarist Harley Card's Non-Fiction, Jazz-Folk group Hobson's Choice's The Farm EP, and singer song writer Jessica Stuart's Kid Dream.
In 2009 Matt released his first recording as a leader entitled Push.
Matt has performed with such respected musicians as Kevin Turcotte, Jim Vivian, Pat Collins, Kevin Brow, Rob Mosher, Rob Frayne, Petr Cancura, Sienna Dahlen, Mike Milligan, Norman Marshall Villeneuve, and Dave Young.
August 4th Jazz Event 2012
On August 4th week-end we had our third Jazz Event of 2012 Edition. We had two special guests: Michael Herring on bass and Alex Goodman on guitar.
We were thrilled to have two accomplished musicians from the thriving metropolis of Toronto joining us as special guests on this date.

Perry, Tannis Slimmon, Harry Manx, Lina Allemano, William Carn, Percy Sledge, Ernest Ranglin, and Brinsely Forde (Aswad).

He has released three albums as a leader, of which his most recent, "Bridges" reached #1 on the national Chartattack and !Earshot jazz charts. "Bridges" was also listed in the top 10 Canadian jazz records of 2011 (Ottawa Citizen).

BARRE — Vermont State Police say a 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by two men.
A Granite City man is now accused of having sex with the same girl with whom Wendel Excavation owner Bert Wendel is accused of having a sexual relationship.
Jonathan Amell, 20, pleaded not guilty to felonious sexual assault of a victim under 16 years old on Tuesday in Washington County criminal court. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
State police say the girl would sneak out at night and go to Wendel's house in Middlesex. Wendel pleaded not guilty to felonious sexual assault Monday.
According to the state police affidavit for Amell's case, the girl, Amell and Wendel were all at Wendel's house one night in December. State police said the girl told them she and Amell were drinking while Wendel was upstairs. The girl told state police she got "extremely intoxicated" that night, according to the affidavit.
At one point, she and Amell went outside for a cigarette, according to the girl. She said Amell asked her if she wanted to have sex and she said no. The girl said the next thing she remembered was walking out into the woods with Amell and that the two had sex, according to police.
State police said that during questioning, Amell denied being at Wendel's house and that there had been a sexual encounter. Wendel had initially denied having Amell at his home as well but eventually admitted Amell had been there on the night in question, according to police.
Amell's mother, Toni Lawrence, 51, of Barre, also admitted that Amell had been at Wendel's home after initially denying it, according to police.
State police said Lawrence was cited for giving false information to law enforcement for attempting to "keep the suspect and witness out of trouble." She is scheduled to appear in Washington County criminal court Feb. 21 to answer the charge.MORE IN This Just InWOODSTOCK Caitlin Acosta and the defending state champions used a never-say-die mentality to...

Great day on the White Salmon
I wanted to share a little about what it was like to be on the White Salmon yesterday for the blast at Condit Dam. It was an amazing celebration and so special to share in person with so many colleagues and friends.
It was a beautiful fall day. I think when I look back on the day I'll remember the colors most vividly. The dark gray river silt – the exposed former reservoir, the muddy gush flowing downstream. And the gold – the yellow October foliage along the river – alders and maples. And… a friend's bright yellow hard hat falling off, as he leaned over the spillway for a look, the hat bounced, bounced, bounced down the dam, landed in the gray, and the river carried it away.
There were two main events today – the dam owner PacifiCorp hosted an official recognition event. Brett Swift, our NW regional director, was there, along with other leads on the dam removal project. The rest of us were at Wet Planet, a whitewater outfitter a couple miles up river from the dam. It was a homegrown party with free beer thanks to New Belgium, and commemorative stainless steel pints from Klean Kanteen. So many volunteers pitched in to make the party happen and amazingly it went off without a hitch – we had 300 people.
A colleague texted me when our DC office had gathered in the conference room, right before noon pacific time, to watch the live stream of the blast. At that moment I was panicking because all of our screens in the tent were showing an error message. But our heroic IT guy got everything working and finally, yay, we saw the dam on the screen. But then a little more standing around, waiting.
Rich Bowers of the Hydropower Reform Coalition stood up and said someone from the PacifiCorp event texted him – looks like the blast will be in 3-5 minutes. So all eyes went back up to the screen – and at that very moment – BOOM! Actually, we didn't have the audio, but wow, the visual!
If you missed it, watch it now:
Everyone erupted into cheers. In case you're wondering what it was like from other vantage points — folks from the PacifiCorp event said they could both hear and feel the boom (800 pounds of explosives), because they were much closer to the dam than we were (but still watching it via live feed for obvious safety reasons).
One of my colleagues was at the mouth of the river. He said right before the blast he saw salmon rolling — like a good omen — and then he watched as eventually the river clouded with sediment and a lot of wood and debris came down.
I have to admit, my first thought when I saw the blast wasn't 'yay, the river is free' but 'yay, our filmmaker's cameras are working!' (Andy Maser, we love you) We were amazed at how fast the reservoir drained. We had been told it would take six hours, but it looks like it happened in just one.
After a while a bunch of us got to go to the dam, shuttled by the Wet Planet bus. We donned our hard hats, safety glasses, and orange vests, and got a look at the former reservoir – a gray shiny river carving through steep eroding banks of dark gray sediment. Old stumps and logs. A couple people remarked on the smell – the rich wet sediment smell in the chilly air.
We walked through the dam, past the old-fashioned gears and wheels, down some steps/scaffolding, out on to the spillway. We leaned over and saw the hole that was blasted earlier in the day. And flowing through the hole, the beautiful, muddy White Salmon River! (It will take until spring 2012 for the whole dam to be fully removed)
Everyone kept asking me today, so where's the next old dam you're tearing down! Elwha, Condit, …? I just said there will be many more!

BAYPORT, N.Y. (AP) — Animal rescuers on Long Island say a "sweet," abused dog named Midnight will have to gain weight before she can undergo surgery for a broken leg.
The Suffolk County SPCA says the 1-year-old mixed breed was emaciated when she was rescued last Wednesday. She was found in a yard in Bellport.
The vet who will eventually perform the surgery, Dr. Dennis Dougherty, says Midnight suffered injuries from blunt force trauma.
She's now getting treatment at the Bayport Village Animal Health Center.
The Suffolk SPCA is raising funds to help with her care.

Concerns over a lower GDP growth forecast in the current fiscal along with profit-taking on the eve of RBI policy meet pulled down the benchmark Nifty by 22 points at the National Stock Exchange (NSE) today.
Against the backdrop of sharp industrial slowdown amid lingering uncertainties in the global economy, the Government, in its mid-year economic review, lowered GDP projection for FY13 to 5.7¿5.9 per cent, down sharply from 7.6 per cent estimated earlier, dampening the overall market sentiment.
After a flat opening, the 50-share index mostly traded in a tight range in absence of any supportive cues amid modest selling in select heavyweights.
The directionless market gradually gave away its range bound movement and slipped into negative zone in late morning on cautious approach by investors, who preferred to keep their position light ahead of the tomorrow's RBI policy meet.
FMCG, technology, capital goods and infra shares came under heavy sell-off. On the other hand, rate sensitive stocks like metal, auto, financials and pharma saw heavy buying.
Market players seem divided over possibility of a rate cut. Expectations are high that RBI may cut its key policy rate by 25 bps due to moderation in inflation, traders said.
Inflation declined to a 10-month low of 7.24 per cent in November from 7.45 per cent in October.
The Nifty oscillated between a high of 5,886.05 and a low of 5,850.15 before concluding at 5,857.90, a fall of 21.70 points, or 0.37 per cent, over the last close.
Bharti Airtel, TCS, BPCL, BHEL, HDFC Bank, HDFC, JP Associates, Wipro, and Ambuja Cement were top losers from the Nifty pack. Key gainers included Hindalco, Sesa Goa, Jindal Steel, Cipla, Grasim, Ranbaxy, Tata Power, Maruti, Bajaj Auto and NTPC.
The turnover in cash segment declined to Rs 11,071.42 crore from Rs 11,385.46 crore last weekend. Overall, 6,595.03 lakh shares changed hands in 58,69,104 trades. Total market capitalisation stood at Rs 66,31,587 crore.

Carnesale joins high-level commission exploring storage of nuclear waste
Carnesale joins high-level commission exploring storage of nuclear waste
Posted on
Thu, 02/11/2010 - 6:37pm
Chancellor Emeritus Albert Carnesale has been selected to serve on a high-level national commission that will study and make recommendations for developing a safe, long-term solution to the serious problem of managing the nation's nuclear waste.
President Obama directed the U.S. Department of Energy to form the 15-member Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future to conduct a comprehensive review of policies for managing the country's current and future stockpile of nuclear waste after the administration decided not to proceed with the Yucca Mountain (Nevada) nuclear waste repository.
"The decision to pursue the Yucca Mountain plan was made 20 years ago," Carnesale said. "From a scientific and technological perspective, much has been learned since then about radioactive waste and how spent nuclear fuel can be treated. And much has also been learned about the Yucca Mountain site itself." The residents of Nevada also vehemently opposed the plan for a number of reasons.
The question of what to do with the country's nuclear waste has grown in urgency because of climate change and the nation's search for a cleaner source of fuel.
Currently, spent nuclear fuel is being stored at more than 100 nuclear power plants throughout the United States. These plants provide about 20 percent of the nation's electricity.
"I don't think there are many people who think that is a very good long-term solution to the waste problem," Carnesale said.
"The commission is not being asked to identify an alternative site to replace Yucca Mountain," Carnesale said. "There are many other avenues of inquiry to pursue. For example, are there new designs for nuclear rectors that might mitigate the problem? Should the spent fuel be processed differently? How might the spent fuel or processed waste be stored to minimize the risk to current and future generations?"
The solution won't be found in science and technology alone, Carnesale said.
"If you look at the commission, these are not simply experts on nuclear power or nuclear waste," he said. "They are primarily strategic thinkers, people who understand issues that have substantial technological dimensions, but cross many high-priority areas for the country, everything from climate change to reducing American dependence on foreign sources of fuel. It's clear that the commission has been asked to take a strategic look at this problem."
The commission is co-chaired by former Indiana Congressman Lee Hamilton and Brent Scowcroft. Hamilton is a
member of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board and the President's Homeland Security Advisory Council, and he previously served as vice chairman of the 9/11 Commission (National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States). Scowcroft, a retired lieutenant general in the U.S. Air Force, served as National Security Advisor to both Presidents Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush.
Carnesale, who has a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering, holds professorial appointments in UCLA's School of Public Affairs and Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science. Earlier in his career, he represented the United States in high-level negotiations on defense and energy issues, including the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks, SALT I. He has been increasingly called upon by the government for his expertise on public policy issues that have scientific and technological dimensions.
Since leaving Murphy Hall as chancellor, he has led committees formed by the National Academies, the nation's science advisors, to analyze, make recommendations and brief policymakers and Congress on vital issues. In 2008, he chaired a committee that looked at whether the nation needs a non-nuclear weapon with the ability to strike a target anywhere in the world within one hour after the president gives the order.
Recently, he has been holding classified briefings with representatives from the departments of Energy, Defense and Homeland Security as well as others on Capitol Hill on the findings of a committee he chairs on nuclear forensics.
Carnesale is also chair of the Committee on America's Climate Choices, a nationwide project launched by the National Academies at Congress' request for policy-relevant advice, based on scientific evidence, to help guide the nation's response to climate change. That project, which involves some of the country's leading researchers on climate change, is scheduled to release its report in September.

My first Slab roller
Posted 05 May 2012 - 03:40 PM
1) He writes that on the North Star "the height of the top roll is adjusted with a knob on each end of the roller assembly" and on the Bailey,"the gap between the rolls is adjusted on one side of the machine and an inch scale is provided for measurement". So I'm undersanding that it takes one adjustment to set the Baily and two adjustments to set the Northstar. Correct? He writes about the Brent: "The Brent SR-20 is a mid-sized floor model that can produce up to 20x52-inch slabs. They include one 1/4" canvas covered shim and one 1/8" plain shim, and can produce a slab up to 1 1/2 inches thick." What is he saying here??? It makes no sense to me. Is he saying that there is no adjustment, just shims???
2) I'm thinking of mounting a 30"x72" slab roller atop a pair of heavy side-by-side free-standing 36" cabinets. I haven't seen it done, so I'm wondering if there is a reason it won't work? I know that I would probably have to add a 4-6" top rail to the cabinets to accomodate the depth of the bottom roller, and I'd have to put the slabroller handle or wheel at the backside of the cabinets so as not to interfere with the drawer operation at the front of the cabinets...
3) He writes that there is virtually no maintenance on the North Star because of the simplicity of the design. I'm all for no maintenance, since I am utterly without mechanical repair abilities. Does this mean that the other two have more maintenance issues?
One more questions (at the moment): I have a limited output, but I do want to have the potential to make large slabs. Am I shooting for too large a slab roller?? Any suggestions? Any favorites?
Posted 05 May 2012 - 04:22 PM
The bailey has one lever/knob for height adjustments and the twin texture rollers grip great-it just works well and long without any maintenance. I ordered the long table with my roller and its offset a bit lower on the outfeed-super strong and its a keeper as well.You can build one if like -Baileys has a plastic smooth easy to clean surface and we use it heavily on glaze day and it sponges clean .
The north stars are on the low end for me. Bailey made his name with slab rollers long ago and after many hard use years with his its never needed a thing. I cannot tell you how many times I worked on Brents. I love brent wheels and other Brent products-I just have some issues with shim boards and cables.My 2 cents

I personally have a Bailey. My first 20 inch Bailey was good for about 15 years. Then I wanted a bigger one. I had one made by a retired mechanic. Very cool but very heavy to move. I picked up a Bailey at Bailey's while in the East. It is a 30" wide model. I love it. I have had it for 10 years. The single knob to adjust the thickness is the ideal situation for me.
I'd recommend getting the stand for it rather than putting a slab roller on two cabinets unless you have a perfect fit. as to the size for you, that is your decision. Get one that fits your needs and production. If you don't plan to be making huge pieces, then you don't need one that big. Is your kiln big enough for huge pieces?
Things you need to think about.
The Brent shims are the method of adjusting the thickness of the slab. It is a lot of lifting.

I saw a used Northstar but didn't like the double height adjustment feature and the chances of uneven slabs.....so I went with a Bailey DRD/II...24" wide model w/a 6 ft table
so far....so good.
Posted 06 May 2012 - 08:54 AM
Posted 06 May 2012 - 10:45 AM
Price was also better although I'm not sure what they are today.
Our guild uses the 24" North Star which is situated lengthwise against a wall. Adjustments have to be made in steps and are often not parallel because of the awkward positions of both the adjustment knobs and the scales.
Keep in mind that the Bailey can only roll the slab in one direction where the North Star can roll in both...
My 2 cents...

That said the DRD11 is a professional machine which works great-If your going for one of those I would spend the extra on a round wheel handle.As the 4 blade handle will poke you sooner or later.
These DRD have been around long enough to earn high marks in the clay world.
I have no info on the basic.
I do have the electric DRD 30 inch with a long table and I can say I have never had a bad day with it-it just works.
Maybe you can PM TRJ as to a brand name clone? on the Baileys

Gary Sabbadini (Pinole, CA)
Dr.Gary Sabaddini in Pinole is an excellent pediatric dentist who is well known in the community- anon
Our kids have been seeing Dr. Gary Sabbadini in Pinole since they were very little. I had bad teeth as a child so I was worried they would inherit some of the same problems. Dr. Gary is very patient with the kids, does a very thorough exam and is able to explain everything clearly and concisely. He is a pediatric dentist so his waiting room is filled with books, toys and a video game machine. There are also television sets built into the ceilings and kids can choose a movie to watch while they get their teeth cleaned if that's okay with mom or dad. We absolutely love him and would highly recommend him to anybody. His contact info is: www.pinolepediatricdentist.com 1500 Tara Hills Drive Pinole, CA 94564 (510) 724-4400 Kelly
Re: Pediatric dentist for first timer?
We have been taking our nearly 3 year old son to an excellent pediatric dentist now for two years, and love him. His name is Gary Sabbadini, and he is located at 1500 Tara Hills Dr, Suite 100, Pinole CA. 510-724-4400. Our son is also sensitive, and he does not mind getting his teeth cleaned, x-rays, and overall check up goes so well. It is amazing how well the dental assistants and ''Dr. Gary'' as they call him, handle young children! There is a video screen on the ceiling to get the child to cooperate laying down on chair, the kids get stickers, new toothbrush, and other incentives. It makes for a really enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Dr. Sabbadini. Good luck! anon
Re: Pediatric dentist with TV
we have a great pediatric dentist with tvs overhead, and choices of shows/ movies (although my kids actually prefer to watch what the dentist is doing and haven't used them) He's in Pinole if that's not too far, they are really nice and my kids look foward to going- Dr. Gary Sabbadini. He called our house after my daughter had a tooth pulled to see how she was doing, very sweet. Chris
Do you have a great dentist near Pinole? My current dentist is in Walnut Creek and I'd love to find a great, local dentist. Thanks in advance.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Republicans are on the offensive in the Georgia Senate race, attacking Michelle Nunn as a rubber stamp for President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Republican David Perdue also questions Nunn's experience as a non-profit foundation executive. Perdue says his experience as a chief executive officer of several large for-profit corporations would be more valuable in the Senate, but Nunn and Democrats say Perdue's career has put profits above people.
The early battles highlight Nunn's uphill fight as she tries to pull an upset in a fall election that pits two outsiders who have never held elected office.

NLA launches museum and photo exhibition as part of 50 years celebration
Accra, Aug. 17, GNA - The National Lottery Authority (NLA) on Friday launched a museum and a photo exhibition to showcase the various transformations that the authority had gone through for the past 50 years.
On display were types of NLA lottery products, its decentralisation process, state of infrastructure, its corporate social responsibilities and photographs of the leadership over the years.
Addressing the workers at the ceremony in Accra, Mr Aaron Gyabaah Yeboah, a Theatre and Culture Specialist, who cut the tape to the exhibition room, eulogised how the national cake was shared saying that those who worked around the national cake used different kinds of tools during sharing.
He noted that while some used axe, hoes, and machetes, others used bulldozers to secure their share thereby breeding corruption.
Mr. Yeboah said African countries had become poor because of corruption stressing that; "We need to do away with corruption in order to make Ghana great."
He cited Nigeria and Norway as two countries that produced oil but recounted that in Norway proceeds of their oil was used to create better health, agriculture, and education and their surplus proceeds were used to support African countries, but in Nigeria, some people used the oil proceeds to enrich themselves by acquiring private jets.
Mr. Yeboah commended the NLA for giant strides chalked over the years especially its bid to support the needy in the society.
Mr. Shine Kplorlali Gbologa, Director, Corporate Planning and Sales, NLA, explained that the exhibition was to enable the authority recollect and take stock of how it had delivered its mandate in the country.
He recounted how the NLA, formerly Department of National Lottery, used car numbers for their operations and now graduated to the use of automated machines.
Mr. Gbologa noted that due to its sole mandate NLA was raking more revenue from its operations.
Some members of staff exhibited the various uniforms used by the staff since 1979 to date.
The introduction of lottery in Ghana was preceded by discussions and approval in 1955 and the passage of Parliamentary Act 1958 which gave birth to the Department of National Lottery. Subsequently it was incorporated into a Lottery and Betting Act in 1960.
The operations of NLA started in 1962 with lotto coupons, through ticket printing machines, which operate on-line and off-line through Portable Automated Data Processing Machines which solely operates on-line.
NLA can now boast of games such as Monday Special, Lucky Tuesday, Mid Week, Fortune Thursday, Friday Bonanza, National and Freeky Fortune.

The only Buddhist nation on earth is also the only one that measures its success in terms of "Gross National Happiness." Bhutan includes some of the highest peaks on the planet, where unique and welcoming monasteries cling to cliff faces, and is both culturally fascinating and an outdoor recreation wonderland for hikers and mountain bikers to explore. It is one of the least visited non-hostile nations on earth, because it has been very careful about tourism development: to avoid sprawl and overdevelopment, Bhutan limits visas issued and requires visitors to have fully planned itineraries before arriving, and is one of just two nations with minimum required daily spending for visitors - but it's worth it. Two of the world's best boutique luxury hotel chains, Aman Resorts and Como Resorts, have multiple lodges here set up for logistically easy - and decadent - explorations of Bhutan. Accessible only from Thailand or India, "The Land of the Thunder Dragon," is one of the most uniquely individual places on earth, physically and culturally. Photo: Wikipedia

I am confused about what to use PrintWriter, BufferedWriter or OutputStreamWriter. I am looking for the fastest way to deliver the data. I also don't want the JVM to hold onto this data any longer than it needs to, so I don't use up it's memory.
Any help is appreciated.

"Most of us tend to be reflective this time of year, thinking back on what we've accomplished since the year began. As you reflect back on all you've done, I have one thing to add to your list: You've helped more than 122,000 survivors of sexual assault this year."
"As a direct result of your support, RAINN stayed open 24/7, every day of the year, helping everyone who reached out to us through the National Sexual Assault Hotline and Online Hotline. It was a team effort: the 1,000 volunteers who helped staff the Online Hotline; the 1,100 local rape crisis centers, and their more than 10,000 volunteers, who answered calls and accompanied victims to hospitals and police stations; and the amazing staff at RAINN, which kept the technology working and the hotlines running, among many other accomplishments. Together, we were able to help 17% more hotline users than last year (and our hotlines have now helped more than 1,500,000 people since we started)."
"Helping 122,000 people is a huge accomplishment, but not your only one. You also made possible RAINN Day, our college program that educated students on more than 1,000 campuses. We developed a program that now provides free websites, email, web content and tech support for more than 700 local crisis centers. And you helped give us an active presence on Capitol Hill, where we worked closely with the bipartisan leadership to pass new initiatives that will prevent rape and punish its perpetrators."
"So, I want to wish you happy holidays and — most importantly — say thank you. As we reflect on the year about to end, my colleagues and I will be thinking of all we were able to accomplish — and the fact that none of it would have been possible without your support."
"Again, thank you, and happy holidays from all of us at RAINN."

The BJP manifesto was unveiled today in the presence of PM candidate Narendra Modi, President Rajnath Singh and others in Delhi and it confirmed it would ban foreign supermarkets from the $500 billion retail sector, a move that would deal a fresh setback to global chains such as Wal-Mart and Carrefour.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has in recent years opposed investment by foreign firms into multi-brand retail, made the announcement in its election manifesto, which it unveiled in New Delhi earlier.
If elected, the BJP said it would welcome foreign direct investment in all sectors that create local jobs, except for supermarkets.
It is not clear, however, whether the BJP, which is forecast to win the most parliamentary seats in a five-week election that started on Monday, would follow through on the ban. The BJP is likely to need coalition partners to form a government.
"Pre-election rhetoric and decision making post-election are two different things," said a person who worked on the manifesto but who declined to be named because he is not authorised to speak to the media.
India's federal government gave foreign supermarket chains the green light in September 2012, but then left if up to individual states to enact the legislation. Many didn't, fearing a backlash from politically powerful local traders, and this regulatory uncertainty has put off many global chains.
The BJP and its prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi, are perceived to be the more business-friendly of India's two national political parties, but it counts among its key supporters the millions of small traders who worry about being run out of business by global chains.
So far, only Britain's Tesco PLC has made an investment in India - last month, it sealed a $140 million joint venture with the Tata Group's Trent Ltd to operate 12 stores in southern and western India.
Tesco's spokesman in India was not immediately available for comment on the BJP's manifesto and did not respond to an email sent by Reuters. An official at Trent, who declined to be named as he was not authorised to speak to the media, said the BJP's manifesto could cast doubts about the fate of the joint venture.
Asked to comment about the manifesto, a senior official at Wal-Mart in India said he hoped the BJP would be open to discussing their stance.
"We are interested in knowing if this a decision set in stone or if they are willing to have discussions

I ordered invitations for my son\'s birthday party. I\'m not a fan spending all my budget on invites, because they get thrown in the trash, but I like to have fun, personalized invitations to set the theme of a party. Birthday in a Box had personalized invitations for considerably less than any other competitor I could find. They were super adorable and didn\'t break the bank. I would use them again.

Home heating assistance program extended
Winter weather may have broken, but those eligible for home heating assistance in Pennsylvania will have until April 26 to apply for the federally funded Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, LIHEAP.
LIHEAP provides cash grants to help utility customers with heating bills and crisis grants to help them cope with emergency situations.
The program, administered in the commonwealth by the Department of Public Welfare, has funds remaining and is able to extend eligibility. The original program deadline was March 29.
Of the $157 million budgeted for Pennsylvania, there remains $46 million in cash support and $13 million for emergency crisis assistance.
There are 37,000 fewer applicants this season compared to last season, said Anne Bale of the state Department of Public Welfare. Local numbers are close to last season. Lackawanna County program participants are 6,531 compared to 6,574 last season. In Luzerne, this season's count was 12,265 compared to 13,012 last season.
The intensity of winter often dictates how widely used the program is, she said. An early or frigid winter sometimes required that the program be closed early. But typically, the state can extend the deadline a few weeks.
"Interest in the program is weather-dependent and while this winter was cold, it was not too terribly bad," Ms. Bale said. "I would also surmise that an improving economy may have reduced demand."
Whether people heat with electricity, oil or natural gas, they may still be eligible. Also, an applicant doesn't have to have unpaid utility or heating oil bills. The criteria is solely income-based. For example, a household of four with an annual income of up to $34,575 would be eligible. For a household of two, $22,695 annually is the maximum allowable income to qualify. The amount of the grant depends upon the type of heat used and the income level.
Applicants should bring proof of income and household size, and a recent bill or a statement from their fuel dealer or utility verifying their customer status.
State officials said prudent planning and running an efficient program allowed them to extend the deadline by nearly a month.
Eligible customers can apply online for LIHEAP funding at www.compass.state.pa.us. They also can apply in person at county assistance offices or call the statewide toll-free hot line at 1-866-857-7095 with questions.

Formerly anti-Semitic Muslim Briton says UK media poisons public against Jewish state
Shahar Chai
Published: 06.04.12, 11:57 / Israel News
Shahar Chai
But after years of taking part in anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic activity, Hafeez's beliefs took an unexpected 180-degree turn. The man who now calls himself "a proud Muslim Zionist" has arrived in Israel for a four-day visit on Saturday as part of his effort to battle misinformation about the Jewish state.
Related articles:
In a meeting with Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon and the press on Sunday, Hafeez noted that much of the hatred and intolerance of Israel stems from ignorance.
"I've always said that (the problem) with Israeli advocacy (is that) we're not getting the truth out there," he said. "(…) People don't know the facts. I would say to anybody, come to Israel. See the rights that Muslims have.
The activist and blogger's perception of the Jewish state changed a few years ago, after he came upon a copy of Alan Dershowitz's
"The Case for Israel."
Hafeez said on Sunday that the media in the United Kingdom demonstrates a deep bias against Israel, a phenomenon he says has a hand in turning the public against the Jewish state.
"Israel can do no right in the UK press," he said. "Israel is always wrong and everything has a very negative slant.
His mission, he said, is to prevent others from growing up brain-washed, the way that he did.
Hafeez lauds a video made by Deputy Foreign Minister Ayalon and StandWithUs, noting that its value lies with the way it relays the truth about the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
"A Palestinian state never existed," he said. "It's a fact and people don't know it."
In their meeting Sunday, Ayalon urged Hafeez to organize a group of European Muslims who would visit Israel and learn about the country.
The official asserted that one of the problems that the Israeli diplomacy faces is the inability to penetrate the wall of animosity. He expressed hope that more Muslims would choose Hafeez' path, noting that this is the way change Israel's image and solve the conflict.

Dynaco ST35 B+
Hey Anyone? Does anyone know what the B+ for the preamp section of the Dynaco ST35 is? I have to revamp the power supply to get the B+ for the EL84's down to 300 volts for new JJ's. For some reason I have way too much voltage across the 12AX7 section of the 12DW7, over 400 volts.
|27th September 2013, 12:25 PM
diyAudio Member
If anyone is listening I've done my best to figure this out for myself. Nearest I can figure is that the 12AX7 is drawing about 1.1 ma and the 12AU7 ABOUT 4.6 MA. From there I calculated the B+ for the preamp section is about 331 volts. Since the JJ EL84's are limited to 300 volts I'l build the supply for about 300 and see where that gets me.
The 12AX7 is a bit harder to calculate. I think its because of the shared voltage (DC coupled) from the 12AX7 plate to the 12AU7 grid.

It's generally pretty high- 370-400V isn't unusual. Good for the 12AX7, not so much for weedy EL84. That said, I've pulled old 6BQ5 out of these units with 10-20 years of service and they're still going strong, despite the abuse of their maximum ratings.
Remember: life is ten per cent what happens to you, ten per cent how you respond to it, and eighty per cent how good your reflexes are when the Tall Ones come at your throat with their pincers.

Different preamp tubes sound better with more voltages (llike the 6SN7) and some sound better with reduced voltage (like the 6n2p). Feel free to experiment a little bit and go with what your ears tell you. I don't use 12ax7 (they sound like crap), but I seem to recall from my early days of tube experimentation that they sounded better with a B+ of about 250. Obviously, the anode resistor is a factor here. Use Ohm's law and your cathode resistor to figure out current draw and make sure you have the current where you want it. Your cathode resistor is what is going to set the operating parameters for the tube. If the current draw isn't right, that's what you want to adjust to make it stay in the linear range.

the dc resistance of the output transformer is in the 100ohms range so this also limits current and drops the voltage...
in many tube amp repairs i have done, i found that lowering the output stage B+ to be very close to the output tube plate rating does not materially affect the sound, probably clipping is earlier but under normal listening conditions, i did not hear any difference...
the best advertisement for a good audio design is the number of diy'ers wanting to build it after all the years....never the say so of so called gurus....

I think you are going to be fine at that level. If the 12au7 were a gain stage, I would say kick it up some, but since it's not, you should be fine, and 300 should be fine for the 12ax7 stage; I have seen that as the B+ for 12ax7 in many, many schematics. I suspect that is because many designers like to "push the envelope" with regard to B+. The 6BQ5 is a pretty sensitive tube and this arrangement should provide plenty of gain. The 12au7 is basically functioning like a cathode follower and should just pass the signal along with no gain and coloration of the tone.

wrt 12au7 and 12at7 stages, i agree that more voltage is necessary and desireable...
it is the output stage and the power tubes that i lower the B+ and finds that it did not materially affect the sound...

Then, my latest build, the GU50 push-pull ultralinear. It has an anode limit of 1000 volts, but a screen limit of 300 and triode mode limit of 400 volts. Since I went with ultralinear, I used the 400 volt limit and put a pretty stiff resistor on all the screens. I also went fixed bias this time so that I would get that extra 25 or 30 volts across the tube because the GU50 definitely sounded better with more voltage across it. as the voltage fell from 400 volts, the sound quality really suffered. My next project is going to be GU50 screen drive where that screen voltage limitation won't be a factor.
And then again, I have had amps where changing the plate voltage didn't seem to have much effect at all. Tubes are mysterious, and I think that is why I like them. I try to not make assumptions and instead experiment a lot just to see what happens. Sometimes I get pleasantly surprised. My first unexpected surprise was when I was doing an experiment with a 6L6GB or GC amp and the power supply had a bad connection such that the voltage was seriously reduced (pentode mode amp). The sound was VERY sweet, like triode sweet. Just really pretty. Was it the power tubes being run at reduced voltage or the preamp tubes? ? I'm not sure. That was a long time ago and I keep meaning to get back to that concept and check it out, I just haven't done so yet.
I did notice that ultralinear mode on most amps (except the GU50) seemed a little more forgiving of B+ variations. I have concentrated on inexpensive but decent tubes so I can build more and experiment more within the confines of my budget, and I stay away from lower powered stuff anymore. They just don't sound as good (to me). I found that if the bass isn't solid, just as tight and distortion free as possible, it doesn't matter what u do with the rest of the system, it won't sound right. It may sound "okay," but it isn't going to knock anybody's socks off. Every instrument has it's base or resonant frequency solidly in the bass region (Bob Heil, "The Practical Guide To Concert Sound.")

oh yes, "depends" is the right word, and i am not advocating that what i did is the right thing to do for others, it is just that i got those results and is happy with it....
here is another, a G2 regulated pentode can sound better than ultralinear pentode, again "it depends" is applicable here as well...
