This MiniView, also published in Gent Magazine, is coming to you like a MONTH late. When I publish the girls know their magazines are in and there was a glitch at the warehouse this month. I've got to thank Anton Fury and Rhiannon for seeing to getting the mags out here to me for the girls in this month's column! Get this issue of Gent Magazine from your newsstand before it's gone and look for exclusive naked pictures and "TitBits" in the column "The News Rack" by yours truly, Steve Nelson. I had the great pleasure of getting a very special lapdance from Daphne Rosen last month. You can see a teaser of it on StripClubSecurityCam.com taken from the club's security tape. Cleopatra of the Nile also got in on the action for a great 3-way lapdance with a very happy ending! Daphne has an unbelievable body! A bubble butt, tiny waist and big soft humongous hooters! I talked with her afterwards and this is what she said... Daphne was on the Adam Carolla radio show with Brianna Love and said it was great! She got a ton of new fans from it and it was really fun! Her website DaphneRosen.com is coming along. She also has RosenXXX.com in the works. Her whole line is the hottest! She's aiming to capture real sensual intensity and bring it back to her fans. She says you can't find people offering that any more. Look for Daphne Rosen at a club near you soon. She's starting to feature dance. Her first gig was at Minx Show Palace in Des Moines, Iowa. She says she had a great time and there are really great girls there. She's looking forward to featuring all over the country. She has had fans actually drive 4 and 5 hours to see her dance and she says they are some of the most intelligent, respectful people she has ever met! Look for her doing more movies and photoshoots with all the major companies and if you hear she's dancing near you imagine the fantasy you'll end up with after a lapdance with this wetdreamgirl!

Freddie King singles chronology | ||||
"Hide Away" or "Hideaway" is a blues guitar instrumental that has become "a standard for countless blues and rock musicians performing today".[1] First recorded in 1960 by Freddie King, the song became an R&B and pop chart hit. Since then, it has been interpreted and recorded by numerous blues and other musicians.
Although "Hide Away" is credited to Freddie King and Sonny Thompson (pianist and A&R man at Federal Records) in an interview, Freddie King said that "Hide Away" came from a Hound Dog Taylor song called "Taylor's Boogie".[2] Shakey Jake Harris, a harmonica player who played with Magic Sam, said "At that time me and Sam was playing at Mel's Hideaway [Mel's Hide Away Lounge, a Chicago blues club where many of the blues musicians of the era played]. That's where Freddie King's 'Hide Away' comes from. We stole it from Hound Dog Taylor, and Freddie King stole it from us. It used to be our theme song. It was Magic Sam's theme song. And so Freddie King would come in and jam with us until he learnt that song".[2] Magic Sam recorded a variation of the song, "Do The Camel Walk", in 1961 (Chief 7026).
In his autobiography, Willie Dixon suggests that he named the song "Hideaway". He went on to say that "the guy who really wrote 'Hideaway' was this guy called Irving Spencer, the one I used to play with back on Madison Street, that was on Koko Taylor's first recording. He was playing that 'Hideaway' for years before anybody paid any attention to it".[3] Dixon also claimed that Freddie King had recorded "Hideaway" earlier for Cobra Records, but none of his Cobra material was ever issued.[4]
Freddie King version[edit]
Freddie King acknowledged that "Hide Away" has elements of several songs, but arranged in his own way. Starting with Hound Dog Taylor's song, he said he then "got a idea about these breaks and things in there".[2] He credited Robert Jr. Lockwood with inspiring "the diminished chord I used on the break part" "and the thing I put in there like "The Walk." That came from one of Jimmy McCracklin's songs, you know, I just pitched it all in like this. Made a commercial thing out of it. But - it sold".[2] Freddie King also added a section of "The Peter Gunn Theme"[5] from a popular television series of the time. Bill Willis, who played bass at the recording session, recalled the cue King used for that section "He [King] would be playing—like when we did the 'Peter Gunn' thing in 'Hide Away'—and just before he started it, he would take his hand and point it like a pistol at us. 'Okay, we're going into "Peter Gunn"'".[6] The following section features a guitar figure similar to one in "Guitar Boogie Shuffle", a 1959 guitar instrumental hit.
"Hide Away" was recorded in 1960 and backing King (guitar) were Sonny Thompson (piano), Bill Willis (bass), and Philip Paul (drums). The following year it spent nineteen weeks in the Billboard R&B chart where it reached #5. The song also reached #29 in the Billboard Hot 100, making it one of the highest showings in the pop chart by a blues artist.[7]
John Mayall/Eric Clapton version[edit]
In 1963, Eric Clapton was introduced to "Hide Away" (and the single's B-side "I Love the Woman") by bandmate Tom McGuinness of The Roosters.[8] Later in 1966, he recorded "Hideaway" for the John Mayall Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton album. The version followed the original, but with a jazzier rhythm-section arrangement and more vamping by Clapton, including an Elmore James-style riff. The "Peter Gunn Theme" section was dropped in favor of a loose take on "Baby Elephant Walk". The album was popular in England, where it reached #6 in the UK Albums Chart.[9] Clapton called it "the breakthrough album that really brought my playing to people's attention" and where he developed his signature overdriven Les Paul guitar sound.[10]
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble versions[edit]
During his early career with Double Trouble, Stevie Ray Vaughan often performed "Hide Away" live. A version, with Vaughan's instrumental composition "Rude Mood", was performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival in July 1982 and is included on his Live at Montreux 1982 & 1985 album. A studio version by Vaughan is included on the 1999 remaster of his 1984 album Couldn't Stand the Weather. During "Stevie Speaks" (an interview with Vaughan from the album), he uses the song to talk about how ordinary things from everyday life used to inspire musicians.
Other Versions[edit]
In 1962 King Curtis recorded "Hide Away" with Cornell Dupree on guitar. Freddie King recorded an updated version for his 1969 album Freddie King Is A Blues Master (which was produced by King Curtis). "Hide Away" is included on the 1988 album See the Light by Jeff Healey and on the Jeff Healey live album Live At The Montreal Jazz Fest, recorded in 1989, and on the Johnny Winter album Live in NYC '97.
In 1995, "Hide Away" was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame list of "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll". The song was given a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999[11] and in 2007 was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame.[12]

Instead of trying to construct whether a player is a burden for the community, why can't we try and improve our community the other way? What if after a game we could "like", upvote, +1, or "rep" the summoners who played with us. The amount positive value someone has had in a community certainly should play a factor in how we judge someone.
With the amount of trolls a system like this would be much more unreliable. This way at least allows a method of checking behind riot staff. What would prevent summoners from just having friends they are qued with upvote them all the time?
While I appreciate the sentiment, Miraje, I don't care about the nine times someone didn't take a screaming dump all over someone's play experience. We shouldn't be rewarding people (or pardoning their misbehavior) just because they sometimes do what we expect of them.

They have this feature already It's called the "Add Friend" button That's what I do with summoners I like and want to play with again.

For years, stock market investors have resembled the fellow Oscar Wilde once described as knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing.
Last week, value suddenly mattered again to investors.
For anyone in value stocks, a rally has been a long time in coming. These companies have severely underperformed compared with their growth-stock brethren since the middle of 1994.
On Monday, however, the trend turned. Assets flew out of stock market darlings like Pfizer, Wal-Mart and Dell Computer and headed directly for former duds like Caterpillar, DuPont, even Eastman Kodak.
After peaking on Monday, the Standard & Poor's Barra Growth index lost 6.2 percent by week's end. But the S. & P. Barra Value index gained 1.9 percent for the week.
The about-face was all the more remarkable in that it was not caused by a market correction. Byron R. Wien, United States investment strategist at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, says it usually takes a market fall to shock investors into value havens.
So what scared investors out of growth stocks? Mr. Wien cites two events: the European central bank's interest-rate cut on April 8 and Compaq Computer's warning last Monday that its first-quarter earnings would be half what analysts were expecting. ''Compaq's announcement reminded people that there can be disappointments even in technology,'' Mr. Wien said. ''And the E.C.B. cutting interest rates reminded people that policy makers are determined to keep the world on a growth path.''
Before they celebrate, value investors may be wondering whether the sudden shift is just a cruel head fake to an already beleaguered bunch.
Douglas R. Cliggott, United States equity strategist at J. P. Morgan Securities, thinks the value story has staying power. One reason is an upswing in global earnings that he expects during the next 6 to 12 months as economies around the world emerge from the doldrums.
That, he said, will help value stocks stay strong. When world economic growth is falling, Mr. Cliggott noted, growth stocks win. ''In periods of slow economic growth, earnings growth is scarce, so those companies that can demonstrate growth tend to get very high multiples put on those earnings,'' he explained. As growth accelerates, paying up for earnings makes less sense, and value shares typically rally.
It is perhaps not surprising that the value rebound is happening now. Such sentiment shifts often occur after the last diehard investor -- in this case a value type -- has thrown in the towel. This year, 98 percent of net inflows into equity mutual funds have gone to growth managers.
To investors who think that growth stocks always bounce back, Alan F. Skrainka, chief market strategist at Edward D. Jones in St. Louis, says history shows the perils of such faith.
Harkening back to 1972, the last time that a small group of growth stocks -- the Nifty 50 -- so dominated the investment scene, Mr. Skrainka looked at the performance of that era's four top technology stocks: Texas Instruments, I.B.M., Xerox and Polaroid. The shares, he found, fetched 40 to 95 times earnings in 1972.
But then the bear market of 1974 hammered them. And by 1982, the former leaders had not yet recovered; their average annualized returns for the 10-year period ending in 1982 were well below that of the S.& P. 500.
Market leadership, once it has been unseated, can take a long time to return.
Graph tracks the gap between the S. & P. Barra Value index and the S. & P. Growth index since April 1, 1999.

Negotiated family law settlements
March 19, 2009The Supreme Court of Canada in a recent family law decision, Rick v. Brandsema, confirmed that the duties of spouses negotiating in the family law context differ from those that exist when negotiating a commercial contract between two parties of equal strength, including as family law negotiations take place in an emotionally charged matrimonial context. The husband in Rick v. Brandsema, who knew his wife was emotionally vulnerable and unstable, knowingly failed to disclose all relevant financial information to the wife when negotiating a settlement agreement relating to division of property following their marriage breakdown. The Supreme Court of Canada held that each spouse has a duty to make full and honest disclosure of all relevant financial information and to avoid exploitative tactics in the negotiation process, in order to protect the integrity of negotiations in the family law context. Where those duties are not met the agreement will in some circumstances be varied or set aside by the Court. Whether the Court will intervene in future to set aside or vary the agreement will depend on the circumstances of each case, including the nature of the non-disclosure, whether it was deliberate, and the extent to which the bargain struck between the parties fails to comply with the goals of the relevant legislation. The assistance of professionals, including lawyers or experts such as business valuators or accountants, can compensate for vulnerabilities of one spouse and reduce the risk that the Court will in future interfere with the agreement. The role of legal counsel in family law negotiations includes to advise each party regarding his or her duty to make or right to receive disclosure and the applicable legislative goals, and to assist in protecting a spouse from exploitative conduct or abuses in the negotiation process. In Rick v. Brandsema, the husband's misleading disclosure and his exploitation of his wife's emotional vulnerability were such that professional assistance could not adequately protect the wife's interests, and in those circumstances the agreement was set aside.

What is it in man's devious make-up that makes him round on the seemingly more wholesome and pleasurable aspects of his environment and suspect them of being causes of his misfortunes? Whatever it is, stimulants of all kinds (and especially coffee and caffeine) maintain a position high on the list of suspicion, despite a continuing lack of real evidence of any hazard to health.
Editorial, British Medical Journal, 1976
Is there a substance that enables you to run farther and faster, think more cogently and fluently, feel happier, more self-confident, and more relaxed, eat less, and that even acts as a powerful antioxidant? One that is also the favorite recreational drug of the twenty-first century, a pop icon? Yes, there is. It's caffeine. Throughout this book, we will see examples of the ways in which caffeine, by heightening our mental and physical capacities and enhancing our moods, enables us to realize our hidden potential and achieve our goals and in the process helps to shape and drive the progress of the modern world.
Using caffeine is more of an art than a science. Caffeine safely offers a wider range of benefits than any other drug in the pharmacopoeia. The very scope of these benefits requires us to learn something about the scientific studies that describe these effects if we are to use it strategically. And because the range of individual responses to caffeine is so great, we also need experience, self-testing, and reasoned judgment to enable us to enjoy all the benefits caffeine offers. Caffeine's benefits are very real, and yet they are complex and variable. When using caffeine, the guiding motto must be "Know thyself."
You may wonder, If caffeine has so many wonderful benefits, why haven't I heard about scientific studies being done to confirm these claims? The answer is simple. Research is being done about caffeine, but quietly. Ironically, caffeine, the most useful stimulant ever discovered, is a sleeper. As scientists in the field have repeatedly regretted, especially when talking about caffeine's potentially valuable uses in treating and preventing depression, gallstones, and Parkinson's disease and other degenerative conditions, no one has a financial incentive to promote caffeine's benefits.
Because caffeine is a generic drug, the profit on the sale of each caffeine pill or capsule is low. Therefore no company can afford to pay for the extensive testing and paperwork that would convince the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to permit it to make broader claims on caffeine's behalf. Caffeine has been consistently included by the FDA on the list of substances Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for over twenty-five years. That is the reason it can be legally added to foods and drinks. But the FDA, while acknowledging that caffeine is safe, allows caffeine to be promoted only as an "alertness aid." People who sell products that include caffeine as an ingredient aren't legally permitted to make any other claims for it. They can't tell you how caffeine makes you smarter, faster, stronger, more relaxed, and more confident. But we can. We can tell you the full story of the amazing facts about caffeine discovered over the past ten years by serious scientists from all over the world.
Unfortunately, not only do people not know about all the good things caffeine can do for them, they actually fear the harm they believe caffeine causes. Despite caffeine's astounding benefits and valuable place in society, a large number of people worry about using it and think that it is somehow to be avoided. The overwhelming majority of the people we talk to say things like, "Unfortunately, I use a lot of caffeine," or "I drink six cups of coffee a day, but I'm planning on cutting down," or "I used to drink five cups a day, but I've cut it down to two."
Such fears are fueled by poorly informed physicians and health care information and advocacy groups that have warned the public against caffeine for years and continue to do so. If you go to the Web and put the word "caffeine" into a search engine, you'll receive a flood of hits from sites advising that caffeine is dangerous because it causes hypertension and other cardiovascular problems, harmful because even small to moderate amounts of it commonly increase anxiety, and bad for athletes because it causes dehydration. When it comes to using small to moderate doses tailored to each person's needs, there is no truth in any of these statements. These are the caffeine myths, and it is part of the purpose of this book to dispel them.
You can also judge, even from the titles of recent books like Caffeine: Warning It Can Be Hazardous to Your Health, by Laura Deni, Danger: Caffeine, by Patra McSharry Sevastiades, and Caffeine Blues: Wake Up to the Hidden Dangers of America's #1 Drug, by Stephen Cherniske, that books share responsibility for worrying people unnecessarily about caffeine's effects.
Beyond the bad advice being offered to the public, there are two deeply rooted attitudes that discourage the use of caffeine: antidrug sentiment and the idea that you should feel bad about feeling good, notions that seem to be ingrained in many Americans. Drugs like heroin, cocaine, and even alcohol are looked on with disfavor, and caffeine, because it is a mood-altering drug that supports a physical dependence, is often lumped in with this unsavory crowd of dangerous substances. This creates a kind of guilt by association. And then there is the notion that anything that makes you feel good, especially if it's a "quick fix" or an "easy way out" or, even worse, if it's a drug, is immoral, a "crutch," and bound to bring about divine retribution in the form of bad physical or mental side effects. The idea is that if something is too easy, you're going to pay for it -- to your sorrow -- sooner or later.
The sneaking suspicion that you can't get something for nothing underlies a great deal of the skepticism about caffeine's benefits and worry over its possible dangers. As long ago as the beginning of the nineteenth century, Samuel Christian Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathic medicine, asserted that the extra energy provided by caffeine has to come from somewhere, and he argued that caffeine depletes us of our stores of vitality, making us energetic for a while but causing energies to plummet after we have metabolized it. There is, however, no scientific reason to accept this unfavorable interpretation of caffeine's actions. Making muscles and neurotransmitter systems work better doesn't necessarily involve draining our energy resources in any way. For example, the British Journal of Medicine reported that caffeine causes "rapid release of calcium ions in muscles, enhancing muscle contractions and making them more efficient." No problems, immediate or remote, are caused by this process. Besides, the body gets its energy by burning food, and one of the ways caffeine increases energy is by increasing our metabolism and the rate at which we burn fat. There is really no problem with that either, especially in a country where most people overeat. As long as the caffeine you're using isn't interfering with your sleep, there is no intrinsic downside to using it for extra energy. And far from upsetting our balance, the way Hahnemann thought it did, caffeine is a great restorer of the balance of our neurotransmitter systems.
rdSuch superstitious thinking fosters the pervasive belief that caffeine is harmful and should be avoided, and if it can't be avoided entirely, it should be limited as much as possible. This belief creates a constant climate of guilt about using something that gives so much to our lives and poses so little risk. But there's no reason to feel guilty about using caffeine. On the contrary, caffeine gives us a safe, almost magical tool for releasing our hidden potential and achieving our goals.
Despite all the misgivings about caffeine, its attractions are so great that over 85 percent of Americans use substantial amounts on a regular basis, so it seems inevitable that it should have had a profound effect on people individually and as a society. In his 2001 article, "Java Man: How Caffeine Created the Modern World," Malcolm Gladwell, leading social commentator and critic for the New Yorker magazine, explains that caffeine is more than simply an alertness aid or recreational adjunct. Referencing our previous book The World of Caffeine: The Science and Culture of the World's Most Popular Drug, he points out that caffeine is responsible in part for the movement to sobriety in Europe. In medieval times, peasants and tradesmen drank alcohol morning, noon, and night, and chronic alcohol intoxication was the rule, not the exception. The introduction of coffee, tea, and chocolate, the "great temperance drinks," each of which brought with it the benefits of caffeine, helped to replace incapacity with efficient self-regulation of time and energy. These benefits helped bring about the industrial revolution, and they are also driving us into the future of the information-intensive, fast-moving world of cybertechnology. Gladwell claims that caffeine actually produced the modern personality. As he says, "The modern personality is, in this sense, a synthetic creation: skillfully regulated and medicated and dosed with caffeine so that we can always be awake and alert and focused when we need to be."
Is this a good thing? Gladwell thinks it is. "On a bet, no doubt, we could walk away from caffeine if we had to," he comments. "But what would be the point? The lawyers wouldn't make their billable hours. The young doctors would fall behind in their training. The physicists might still be stuck out in the New Mexico desert. We'd set the world back a month." Caffeine, he says, is the best and most useful drug because it enables us to take control of our minds, bodies, and moods and enables us to become what we want to become. Gladwell concludes, "Give a man enough coffee and he's capable of anything." And that is a pretty fair summary of what caffeine does. By releasing our hidden potential, it helps us achieve whatever it is we want to achieve.
In Chapter 1, "Getting Started with Caffeine," we explain the principles of strategic caffeine use and give you the basic information you need to understand the dynamics of caffeine's effects, controlling dosage, and issues relating to side effects and physical dependence. We reveal the remarkable Yerkes-Dodson "less is more" curve of caffeine's activity and explain why a small to moderate dose of caffeine can do you more good than a larger one. We also explode a few major caffeine myths and provide an account of caffeine sources, including one you may not have considered: caffeine pills.
It's often said that the clock is an unmerciful, omnipotent despot and that no power on earth can alter its decrees. But as we will see in Chapter 2, "Caffeine and Your Body Clock," caffeine enables us to defy the clock by working longer and maintaining our alertness, speed, and diligence. The advantage we gain can help us succeed at work and even save our lives on the highway. When Edison invented the light bulb in 1879, he caused an upheaval in human sleep patterns. This invention, which brought about both late nights and the stretching of our natural 24-hour daily rhythm into a 25-hour cycle, is one of the major factors in shaping the modern world in a way that benefits from caffeine. Most people do not realize that their body actually operates on a twenty-five- rather than a twenty-four-hour schedule, and caffeine can enable us to fit in more comfortably with the demands of the clock.
In Chapter 3, "The Jet Lag Program," we teach you the secret of overcoming jet lag by using caffeine's power to help regulate your cycles of waking and sleeping and quickly and painlessly adjust to a new time zone without missing a beat.
In Chapter 4, "Sharpening Your Mind," we explore caffeine's astounding power to make us smarter. By improving abstract reasoning, reaction time, memory, and the ability to concentrate, caffeine enables us to exceed our normal levels of intellectual attainment and accomplish more in our work and our personal lives.
Caffeine has been used for hundreds of years by many great artists and scientists to boost their creativity. In Chapter 5, "Enhancing Your Creativity," we present an overview of the contribution that caffeine has made to the production of the arts and sciences and suggest ways it may help you to become more creative in your own life.
We all have moments when we feel stuck in a bad mood. In Chapter 6, "Getting in a Good Mood," we present caffeine's mood-enhancing powers, including the ability to make you more optimistic, clearheaded, upbeat, dynamic, forceful, relaxed, and friendly.
In Chapter 7, "Relaxation and Meditation," we explain the truth behind the coffee break: how caffeine, at the same time as it increases energy levels, also increases calmness, tranquility, and serenity and may even foster an improved ability to meditate.
The Greeks knew the wisdom of aspiring to a sharp mind in a fit body. In Chapter 8, "Improving Your Athletic Performance," we review the proven improvements caffeine can make in virtually every kind of athletic activity, including endurance sports, sprinting, and strength training. In Chapter 9, "How Much to Take and When to Take It to Boost Athletic Attainment," we show you how to use caffeine strategically to get more out of your workouts and even to become a winner in competitive events.
Carrying on the theme of physical fitness, in Chapter 10, "Weight Loss," we show you how you can use caffeine to curb your appetite and burn fat, so you can lose weight faster and keep it off.
Caffeine delivers a host of immediate benefits to your mind and body. However, that is not the whole story of its amazing powers. In Chapter 11, "An Elixir of Life? Caffeine and Staying Younger," we describe the ways caffeine actually works to keep us younger longer. And in Chapter 12, "Caffeine and Good Health," we explore the many ways caffeine can contribute to our health and help us fight disease, and we also fully consider the few caveats that attend its use.
The scientific and cultural sources of our information are extensively noted at the end of the book, where you will find references to many of the most important journal articles and books we consulted.
As you read this book, consider that you are getting to know an old friend better -- an old friend who, it turns out, can do a great deal to help you lead a happier, healthier, more productive life.

Department of Energy promised most energy efficient Super Bowl ever
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
Not long before the power outage at the Superdome that delayed the game for over 30 minutes, the Department of Energy took a moment to remind everybody that they were about to witness the greenest, most energy efficient Super Bowl in history:
From Energy.gov:
While the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers compete to hoist the Vince Lombardi trophy this weekend, eco-friendly fans and city leaders in New Orleans are competing to maximize sustainability practices to the fullest.
To make this the greenest Super Bowl, the New Orleans Host Committee has partnered with fans and the community to offset energy use across the major Super Bowl venues. The exterior of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome features more than 26,000 LED lights on 96 full-color graphic display panels, designed to wash the building in a spectrum of animated colors, patterns and images. The system draws only 10 kilowatts of electricity — equivalent to the amount of energy used by a small home — and the lights are expected to last for many years before needing replacement.
Embracing energy efficiency and renewable energy is having a profound impact on attracting developers and private industry in the New Orleans' re-building efforts. The push to re-invent this destination city contributes to making Sunday's game the greenest in Super Bowl history.
At that point, Providence decided to make it so:
More reliable power sources are under consideration for next year's Super Bowl while not compromising on sustainability. Those options include ringing the top level of <a href="MetLife Stadium"MetLife Stadium with 1,000 Volts and turning their lights on, or saving money by tapping into North Korea's power grid.
JWF: "The only thing that would have topped that would have been for a Solyndra ad to run during the power outage."

New Delhi: The government today said it has
prepared a draft scheme to check the feasibility of providing
food subsidy in cash to the poor instead of foodgrain, on a
pilot basis in select districts of three states.
Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi have submitted proposals
for direct disbursement of food subsidy in cash to the below-
the-poverty line (BPL) families on a pilot basis instead of
distributing foodgrain through the public distribution system.
"Based on these proposals, a draft scheme has been
prepared to test the feasibility of transferring food subsidy
in cash to the BPL families," Minister of States for Food and
Agriculture KV Thomas told the Lok Sabha in a written reply.
The draft scheme has been referred to the Finance
Ministry for approval of the committee on non-Plan
expenditure, he said.
Currently, the government provides 35 kg of foodgrain
every month to 6.52 crore BPL families at subsidised price
through the PDS network. It also supplies 10-35 kg wheat and
rice per month to 11.5 crore APL families at cheaper rates
through the same. The BPL families get wheat and rice at Rs
4.15 a kg and Rs 5.65 a kg respectively, while APL gets wheat
and rice at Rs 6.10 and Rs 8.30 a kg.

The Space
Buckman is a close in SE Portland neighborhood which is an increasingly popular place to live. The apartment is at the eastern end of the neighborhood. There are parks, a picturesque cemetery, good restaurants, wine bars, craft brewing pubs and the Laurelhurst movie theater, all within walking distance. The #15 bus line runs to downtown on the other side of the cemetery (6 blocks). A little further afield (just over a mile) is the Hawthorne district where there are some off beat shops and more places to eat and drink. Downtown is 2 miles away. The apartment is part of a new build and is situated at the rear of the property next to the garden It is one story up (over the garage) and receives a lot of natural light. It is fully self-contained, all appliances are new which makes self-catering very easy. What it lacks in history it more than makes up for in convenience!
Buckman is pretty close to downtown while still having a residential flavor. It also contains a number of agreeable restaurants, wine bars and brewpubs. Everyday shopping needs such as grocery stores are also well served. Additionally it is pretty easy to get to the major freeways for travel purposes.
Buses run to downtown and back a few blocks over.
No smoking. No pets.

Wonderful hosts answered all of our questions and went over and above our expectations. Studio was clean, bright, comfortable, had more amenities than most homes, and was close to everything we needed. This was our first airbnb experience and we will definitely be back! They provide lots of extra little touches that make you feel special.
This little studio was totally charming and had everything you needed and more! Cara and Roger were very gracious, leaving us a bottle of wine and a well curated informational packet on Portland. The studio was immaculate, and smelled very new! The neighborhood was lovely too; we walked to restaurants and bars, but were also a short cab ride to downtown. This cozy Portland studio was just perfect for our quick trip.
This apartment is cozy in the best sense of the word. It actually felt spacious and light while being warm and comfortable at the same time. Cara and Roger take care with every detail. They are very accommodating. It is incredibly clean and attractive. I wish I could have stayed longer. The location is great. It is quiet but very close to restaurants and has easy access to transportation. I hope to stay here again.
My favorite Air BnB yet! We'll definitely be back.
Staying at Cara's place was a lovely experience. She had prepared a lot of portland magazines and guide books that were very useful when discovering the city. It's in a great location, walking distance many restaurants and short drives all around town. The studio was very spacious and cozy and I would definitely go back to stay at her place next time I'm in Portland!
My sister and I really enjoyed our time in Cara's cozy studio in Portland! The studio was very nice and well-kept, and we really liked the location. It is on a quiet street, but it is only a few blocks away (definitely walking distance) from lots of restaurants, bars, and shopping. There is also easy street parking if you have a car, and it's pretty centrally located. I would definitely recommend this studio to anybody looking for a quiet, but centrally-located place in Portland.
Enjoyed staying in here! Much roomier than I had expected, this place is adorable. Nestled in a great location; restaurants, coffee shops and lounges within walking distance. Cara and Roger were very accommodating and welcoming hosts. Thanks so much!
Professional couple who enjoy urban life with 2 simple cats. New York is too fast, Seattle too crowded, Portland is just right. Hosting out-of-town friends (and now strangers) is pure pleasure in this great town!

I'm working on OS X 10.6.4. I've been using clbuild to install supporting libraries for SBCL (including clsql), and I do all my work through Aquamacs. I installed MySQL using the excellent instructions over at Hive Logic. But when I call (require 'clsql)
-- which seems to work fine -- and then try to execute (clsql:connect '(nil "lisp" "root" "") :database-type :mysql)
to connect to my local running database, I get this error message:
erred while invoking #<COMPILE-OP (:VERBOSE NIL) {12096109}> on
#<CLSQL-MYSQL-SOURCE-FILE "clsql_mysql" {1208E071}>
[Condition of type ASDF:OPERATION-ERROR]
From my research of this problem, I think it comes from me not having a compiled version of the libmysqlclient.dylib file, of which I have a copy in /usr/local/mysql/lib/, but I'm not clear on how to go about compiling it. This forum post seems to say that's exactly what I need to do, but there's no make file in that directory.

Night of the Comet, wtf? Drake put a Flux Compensator on my ship?
I have to say i think 3 variants of timetravel are a little much for one Plot.
First we had the Devidian Portal, perfectly fine, then we had to get our ship and use the good old Slingshot. But then, what threw me off was the end. Drake obviosly put a Flux Compensator on my Ship and just like that i could jump Back to the Future? I realy have to have a word with my chief engineer for not noticing that new equipment.... But the bright side is i now have a perfectly fine working Flux Compensator on my Ship that i just renamed to USS De Lorean and can jump through time now whenever i want. Or did i miss anything? Seriously, why not let us Slingshot back arround the same Sun, just in the opposite direction instead of this LAME Plot Device??? :confused: btw. did that Sun flickr for you guys to? |
"Mr. Data, lay in a course for the 24th century. I suspect our future is there waiting for us." "Course laid in, sir." "Make it so." |
if it is a cloaking device it probably can cloak itself so that would be possible... but well... let's say i believe it when i see it. |
But yeah, agree with the OP - would have been far more stylish to use the slingshot back. But tbh, this episode was great, a minor quirk like that is still a very minor quirk. :) |
Using a Slingshot in First Contact would have been out of place. |
And considering how many means of time travel there are, from the Borg's temporal whatever to the chrono deflector for the Klingons in "Endgame" (VOY), it kinda makes the old slingshot rather redundant. |
This is no time to argue about time. We don't have the time.
putting a Flux Compensator on my ship... now that is a pretty big quirk in the storytelling i'd say. |
All times are GMT -7. The time now is 09:28 PM. |

Reading is an essential skill for all of us and developing our skills in reading is a good investment. This unit is packed with practical activities which are aimed at making reading more enjoyable and rewarding. This unit also includes sections on how to read actively and critically.
After studying this unit you should be able to:
- ask questions to make yourself think about what you read;
- think about what the key concepts and issues are;
- detach yourself from disagreements with the author's views.
- Duration 8 hours
- Updated Monday 18th July 2011
- Introductory level
- Posted under Literature and Creative Writing
Reading is easy, isn't it?
On any ordinary day without even noticing, you read shop signs, newspaper headlines, TV listings, a magazine, or a chapter of a paperback. So why would a message like this one appear in an online student chat room in the early weeks of a course?
Clearly, reading for higher level study is quite different from everyday reading. The most obvious differences are:
Quantity As a student you can find yourself reading for many more hours a week than usual.
Difficulty Instead of the message slipping easily into your mind, as when you read a newspaper or a paperback, you find yourself having to concentrate to grasp it.
But there are also more subtle differences:
Purpose Instead of reading to pick up information, or to be entertained, with studying your aim is to introduce yourself to new ideas and ways of thinking, which will enable you to understand the world differently.
Active engagement Studying involves actively working with new ideas, not just racing through the words. You have to look for the meaning as you read, asking yourself 'what is the author trying to say?'
Research into how students read (see, for example, Entwistle 1997, p. 19) has shown that to be successful you need to understand these more hidden aspects of the reading process.

I have a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan and am experiencing the exact same problem. I had similar problem with my 1999 Dodge Durango but it was with the High Beams not the turn signal. It involved the same switch. The fix then was to replace the turn signal switch unit. I figured that was a big job, however after talking to my mechanic he told me that it took about 10 minutes. He showed me the part it is really really really simple. unscrew 4 screws, take off steering column cover, unplug the old module, plug in new module and off you go. I just got done pricing the part and so far the cheapest place to get it is at your local dodge dealer. It can be picked up at a Dodge dealer for $52.85 here in Pittsburgh. |
Am having the same problem with 2007 Grand Caravan. Where is the "turn signal switch unit" mentioned previously? I get it is in the column... Is it readily visible and/or labeled? Thanks. |
I have the same problem. Drivers behind me must think I'm nuts. If I hold the stick in the position, it will signal correctly... 4 months into this issue, I'm still waiting for bf to get it fixed. Our thermostat also gives false readings. Our battery drains really fast. Our passenger side window is no longer functioning, thankfully it's in the closed position. But the latest strange thing that happened was, we went to Walmart to do christmas shopping. When we pulled in & parked, I turned the van off, we got out, and as we went to walk away, we noticed that with no power, the brake lights were stuck on. After the battery died (again!) we got a boost, and the brake lights were still ON. We removed the fuse and hand signaled our stops all the way home, in Xmas madness. This morning, at -14 or so, the van will not start... annoying. |
My 2006 Grand Caravan had the same problem - left signal would often blink for a right turn. Replacing the turn signal switch unit fixed the problem. I opened up the old unit and found black grease on the turn signal contacts. On the other contacts the grease was clear. My ohm meter showed the contacts were partially shorted out. Wiping off the black grease improved the reading. I haven't tried it, but I'm guessing the old unit would work OK after the internal contacts were wiped off. |
Same thing on my 05 GC, pulled the switch assembly, took the cover off, like reply #4, cleaned the contacts and replaced the di-electric grease and reassembled. Re-installed the same switch assembly back into the van and haven't had any issues since (1 year ago). Bottom line . . . dirty contacts. So don't go out and buy a switch assembly, just clean the one you have. PS you need a set of star screwdrivers. Chris |
@ Chris in Reply #5. Brilliant. Took your advice and it worked like a charm. After fiddling around with re-assembling the circuit board in the proper manner (so the intermittent wipers worked correctly), the turn signal works perfectly. Thanks for the advice!!!! Bob |
Our problem is that the left turn signal continues to indicate a turn after the turn has been made. Rt signal is fine. I can hear the actuator trying to click off the signal while returning the steering wheel to the go-that-away direction but it just doesn't have the oomph. Is the cover easily removed? I don;t want to be 2 inches from the center of the wheel when the airbag decides it doesn't like me to be that close. Thanks, Kevin in Cherokee Vvillage, AR |
