Enemies of The PanthWaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh,
Daas just wanted to draw your attention to a radhasoami debate on tapoban.org. It is very informative on how our Panth is being attacked.
Two posts I would like to draw your attention to are as follows. In the first one Gurbaksh Singh a former Radhasoami talks about a talk he had with the so called 'sat guru';

what i wrote in my previous post was not ficition but truth
i tried my best to be polite
but offcourse if you want to know the whole truth here it is
after the officers of the government of india left i went into the room of your guru and said guru ji we should fight these people just like the guru of the sikhs did
his reply was salia marvona aa sikhan de guru ta asli see mai ta aam jai banda aa
naley mai ta khud eh gal jananda aa ke sada nishana kewal te kewal sikhan nu galt raste pouna aaa
naley sanu ke sikhan de guru ta inaha de pukar te delhi jake sis dee aei see
jadon ke oh ina de dharam vich ukeen nahi karde see eh aa asli guru wali gal
then i took leave from him and the rest you know
So basically the so-called 'satguru' admits that he is a normal person, and he is afraid of the Indian Government and can't give sacrifices like the true Sikh Guru's gave. He also says that his job is only to put Sikhs on the wrong path. Some more background on this is that he was beat up by Government officials and is afraid of them and basically works for them. This was followed up by a muslim gentleman's post;

I want to Give you some very Important Information Regarding Radha Soamis.
First of all I want to Inform Mr. Gurbax Singh I was there when Indian Army's Commander in Chief starts Abusing Radha Soami's Satguru.
I was Looking at you while Gen. Gupta was Talking to Him. The Anger on Ur Face & the Humiliation.....but I know at that time you were Helpless...
I have nothing to do with your Interest coz I know "Allah is the most Powerfull".
but the reallity was that Radha Soami's Satguru was also Helpless....Radha Soamis are Lucky they didnt Lose their Satguru at that Time.
I dont know why Indian Public so Dumb. Everybody knows in India Meat, Alcohol And Smoke is counted as Bad things and in India Esp. in Punjab the Farmars Drink Wine & they Eat Meat but they dont smoke ( but some of Hindus smokes in Punjab) so Esp. in Punjabi Womens are so Superstisious they Belive in Baba System & they Like such People who Talk about Bad Results of ALcolism Etc. .......but those people dont even think about the Hats ( Nehroo Style) which they Wear.......why they wear those Hats.....
Its just to Adultrate Sikhism. I am not Sikh but I respect Sikh Faith we have stronge Friendships with Sikhs but Indian Govt. is Direct Supporting Radhas.
In Indian History what Radhas Did.
Gurbax Singh you are Lucky that u changed yourself.
Indian Govt. is Supporting :-
2. Rahda Soamis
3. Nirankaris
4. AshuTosh
5. Paniyara
6. Kukaa Mat
I just feel its Important to informe you about this Incident.
This post by the muslim gentleman is very informative, as he tells us who the Indian Government is funding to harm Sikhi and the Panth. As many of you may know RSS is trying to make Sikhs look like they are a sect of Hindus and they also run military style training camps for common hindus so that they can go and do riots and when it comes down to it, eradicate minorities. Radhasoamai's have a fake Guru and relate their teachings to SGGS Ji to confuse the Sikhs and cause more divide. The Nirankari's are also government funded and you have to look no further than 78' and how they made 13 Singhs shaheed. Paniyaara and AshuTosh are travelling around spitting lies and talking bad about SGGS Ji. And lastlyl Kukaa Mat (Naamdhaari's). They believe Guru Gobind Singh Ji lived an additional 100 years and passed on Guruship to Ram Singh, even though Ram Singh was against this.
Naamdharis were known to shake their head really violently and dance when listening to keertan, they were even known to climb trees and start screaming and jump of them. They play this of as some sort of 'ras'. You can see a video that demonstrates some of what I am talking about on Shinda Singhs blog.
Anywyas in conclusion. We must be aware of the enemies of the panth, knowledge is the first step in combating these people.

In the new strategic plan, HFHK is engaging with all stakeholders along the affordable housing value chain, aiming to remove constraints, drive housing quality up and housing cost down, taking into account the social and community aspects of housing in Kenya. HFHK will channel its efforts through the following programmatic lines of business:
- Community Development & Support
Vulnerable groups have low, unstable incomes and their life priorities force them to live in poor quality shacks. These shacks are made from sticks, mud and other collected materials and are the only housing options locally available to them. Through modeling and testing viable, scalable and innovative housing solutions, HFHK will work with vulnerable groups like Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC), Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), female headed households, the elderly and persons with disability (PWD) to address poverty housing and health related issues through partnerships with NGOs,government and private sector players.
HFHK Approaches:
Holistic and Integrated Approach
• HFHK focuses on housing solutions, and engages with partners who bring additional critical poverty reduction support in sectors such as education, health, livelihoods and employment
• HFHK, with other housing focused organizations, shares knowledge and combines advocacy efforts for the housing rights of the poor.
Community Based Approach
• HFHK leverages community skills, knowledge, creativity and assets to enable vulnerable people access to adequate housing. It empowers groups through capacity building and resources, thus supporting their collective actions to improve their own housing conditions
• Community led – Communities set their housing priorities; communities identify beneficiaries and take action
• Inclusive approach – through financial literacy, table banking, knowledge and skills development citizenship and provides people with an environment to take lead on their housing and financial needs.
• Local sourcing – from local material suppliers, builders and other stakeholders. This also helps the local community to grow economically.
Incremental affordable housing that meets quality standards
• This approach is geared towards reduction of life-cycle building costs – By using locally available materials, simple house designs, volunteer programs,partnering with local suppliers and the utilization of affordable building technology.
- Market Development
HFHK contributes to improved housing conditions by making markets function more effectively for low income households. This is through access to appropriate services,products and financing that is responsive to their needs and capabilities.Some of the constraintsexperienced in the housing sector include:
• Land (Security of tenure)
• Affordable capital and institutional capacity of financial institutions
• Housing financial products affordable to household
• Professional housing support services to promote delivery of quality housing.
HFHK provides Technical Assistance to:
• Financial service Providers (FSPs) - Banks, Saving and Credit Cooperatives (SACCO's), Micro-finance Institutions (MFI's)
• Market Actors – Local builders, self-help groups,Chamas (informal investment groups), savings and lending groups, and technical institutions.
Services rendered by HFHK in respect to Market Development are:
• Market Research and Product Development- Conduct need assessments, design and validate Housing micro-finance products (Savings, credit, remittances,insurance)
• Pilot implementation - Prepare and support FSP's test new products. Support in the designs of monitoring systems to measure the performance of these products
• Institutional strengthening- Institutional assessments,governance, financial modeling and projections,internal processes and systems adaption, product marketing and promotion and strategies for sourcing capital for housing portfolio.
• Housing Support Services (HSS) – Capacity building and linkages to other actors in the affordable housing value chain such as direct land tenure processing,construction assistance, and linkages to material suppliers, capacity building and certification of local builders.
- Advocacy
Our engagement is by promoting pro-poor housing related laws and regulations by adding HFHK's voice and expertise in critical issues such as land tenure,housing quality standards and construction building permits at the county level. This is experienced through participating in housing reforms and contributing ideas,research findings and innovative models that address affordable housing problems.
The two approaches HFHK uses to deliver affordable housing through advocacy are:
Coalition building/participation
• Facilitator- Play a leading role in reviving Kenya land and housing coalition
• Convener - Establish People, Public, and Private Partnerships (4P's) to test models and deliver affordable housing
Research and policy papers/briefs
• Collaborator – Team-up with policy think tanks,research institutes, universities, law firms or other groups with policy knowledge for fact based policy work.
• Promoter – Develop specific policy briefs that raise awareness and understanding of how policies should work.
- Technical Service Provider (TSP) to Groups
In the new strategic plan, the retail lending programme is transitioning to offer technical support to Self Help Groups (SHG)/Chamas that involve savings mobilization & loans with minimal funding from HFHK. The objective behind this is to build sustainable groups that can access capacity building services from HFHK to manage their own mobilized savings towards housing. Through this technical service, HFHK is training on group formation, financial education, savings & credit management and HSS (housing support services).The stable groups will be linked to financial institutions for them to access more funds for home improvement.
- Volunteer Engagement
Volunteers are an integral part of HFHK's program. Volunteers enable HFHK to:
• Expand our reach of the program
• Make our program more cost effective
• Increase community knowledge and skills
• Effect sustainable change
• Communicate and create awareness of the HFHKmission
Volunteering is at the heart of HFHK's community building.It promotes trust and reciprocity. It encourages good citizenship and provides people with an environment where they can learn the responsibilities of community and civic involvement.
HFHK offers structured volunteer programs that build on our culture of readiness to engage and help each other.
HFHK volunteer partnerships focus on:
• Local churches
• Corporate and global village teams
• Schools (local and international)
• Skill based volunteers
• Local group volunteers
• Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and team building
- Affordable Housing Solution Hub -AHSH
Through AHSH, HFHK positions itself to be one of the leading experts on affordable housing solutions by providing information, knowledge and skills on variousaffordable building technologies and housing solutions.The role of AHSH is to collect, organize, preserve, publish and disseminate information and knowledge of both affordable building technologies and housing delivery models. Its other central role is to support HFHK programs with efficient flow of information to and from the hub.
Internal Knowledge Base Development
HFHK has an organized well-structured information system where employees can access information on affordable housing best practices, building technologies,methodologies, manual and contact lists. AHSH keeps updated records on past and current country projects.
Information on the best practices and lessons learnt in delivering affordable housing is documented and disseminated via the Intranet.
HFHK strives to be a learning organization that builds a comprehensive knowledge base, expanding our vision and opening it to affordable housing value chain players in Kenya. This is through a staged approach that develops services suitable to particular target clientele via the Internet, social media and mobile applications.

After her husband's tragic death, Leigh Kelly arrives on Whidbey Island determined to start over. Yet the tiny town of Chimney Rock is not as peaceful as it seems. Women have been disappearing, and Leigh can't shake the feeling that she's being watched . . . especially at night. Soon, she's experiencing visions she can't explain and fighting her attraction to a handsome stranger who seems to know her most intimate desires.
As the leader of the Team, a pack of werehounds forced to hide their very existence, former special ops soldier Niles Latimer is desperate to prove a man's heart beats beneath his predator's body. And Leigh-the mysterious beauty possessing powers she doesn't yet understand-may be the one woman who can help him. But Niles isn't the only one who recognizes Leigh's true identity. Something evil is waiting in the woods-and the hunt has begun . . .
My Review:
I thought I was going to fall in love with another series when I picked up darkness bound. And honestly, I was rather delighted with about the first half of the book. I enjoyed getting to know many of the characters and it was fun learning about the werehounds of Whidbey Island. The plot was intense and suspenseful. And the romance progressed nicely throughout the book.
But somewhere along the way I felt myself struggling to pick my Kindle back up and finish this book. I think maybe there was just too much going on all at once. Too many characters, shapeshifters and supernatural beings. They were just very hard to keep up with and keep track of. And while I did enjoy the plot, I found some of it to be confusing. I kept going back to re-read paragraphs to try and straighten things out in my head before moving on. And that certainly did not make it as enjoyable of a read as I would have liked it to be. By the end of the book, I still had a lot of unanswered questions and was left feeling like I had missed something. I didn't love it but I also didn't dislike it. I believe that a lot of people will certainly enjoy this book and I hope that everyone will pick it up for themselves and form their own opinions.
Even though I was disappointed with this book, I believe the series has a lot of potential. I will probably pick up the sequel as there are some characters I'm still curious about and I would love to see some of them get their own story.

Home remedies for nausea and upset stomach include bitters and soda, ginger, peppermint, and apple cider vinegar, according to Healthline. In addition, adhering to the "BRAT" diet, named as an acronym for its constituents of bananas, rice, applesauce and toast, helps both adults and children with upset stomachs.
Ginger has a history of treating digestive upsets that goes back thousands of years, points out Everyday Health. An anti-nausea treatment that is safe for pregnant women, it also helps people suffering from nausea due to motion sickness and chemotherapy. It can be drunk as a tea, used in cooking, or eaten in candied form.
Because the BRAT diet is extremely bland and low-fiber, it is gentle on upset digestive systems, as Healthline explains. Overtoasting the toast is particularly helpful for fighting nausea. Apple cider vinegar fights an upset stomach by neutralizing the stomach acids. Some people take apple cider vinegar daily to keep gut bacteria healthy. If the taste is too strong, one recommendation is to dilute it with honey for easier swallowing.
Peppermint is another anti-nausea home remedy that is safe for pregnant women. Drinking peppermint tea or sucking on a peppermint candy can reduce symptoms of nausea, indigestion and irritable bowel syndrome, according to Everyday Health.

In an incredible moment at a recent Donald Trump rally, the Republican nominee gave his supporters a chance to respond directly to Hillary Clinton for calling them a "basket of deplorables."
Kicking off the group of supporters were a school principal and his wife, who immediately denounced Hillary for lumping all Trump supporters into a group of, as she called them, "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophobic."
Watch the epic moment when people that Hillary looks down her nose at, responded to her …
Via Fox News Insider:
Hillary Clinton has taken extensive criticism for labeling half of Donald Trump supporters a "basket of deplorables," and now the "deplorables" themselves are calling her out.
At a Trump campaign event in Asheville, North Carolina, on Monday, the Republican nominee invited some supporters onstage to respond to Clinton's assertion that many of them are "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophoboic."
"My wife and I represent non-deplorable people," one man said. "We are not racists at all. We don't even fit on that list that she put out."
"As a black, female American, I say let's get out and support Donald Trump," his wife exclaimed to applause.
Guess what else came out of this particular Trump rally?
Official 'Deplorable' t-shirts (HT Gateway Pundit). Pure genius!
That didn't take long. Supporters sporting "I'm deplorable" t-shirts at Trump NC rally. pic.twitter.com/MjNTlfixta

THREE local athletes have the honour of travelling to Gateshead as past of a 60-strong Sussex team for this weekend's English schools track and field championships.
All three have shown tremendous form this season and have smashed their previous personal bests in more than one event.
Two of the three are still in the junior age group for pupils up to school Year 9.
Chichester Girls High School student Alyssa White has broken club and school records in both the 100m and 200m and now has a best of 12.4 seconds for the 100m which puts her equal seventh in the UK.
Also setting records over 200m with a best of 25.7sec, a top-20 UK placing, White had the qualification for both events – but will run in the 100m at Gateshead.
Another Year 9 pupil, Ben Collins from Chichester High School for Boys, has lowered his best over 800m to 2.04.87 and is just outside the top 20 in the UK.
His recent Sussex League 1,500m record may have been enough for that event as well but Collins will contest the two-lap event this weekend.
Bishop Luffa student Sophie-Anne Haigh has also been in fine form in both sprints with times of 12.3sec for the 100m and 25.2sec over 200m, putting her high up in the UK rankings for both events.
Haigh has been selected for the longer sprint at Gateshead to make it three different events for our three ambassadors on the national stage.
Chichester's under-15s travelled to Horsham for the second of the Friday-evening Sussex League matches – and once again the boys' squad nearly pulled off a famous victory.
They just lost out to current league champions Crawley by 112 points to 105.
There was fine sprinting from Lewis Hall and Cellan Robinson, dropping only three points out of a maximum 24 over 100m and 200m.
Then, supported by Corben Atkinson and Ben Collins, they had more than a second to spare in the relay with a speedy 50.8sec clocking.
Collins also showed his speed with a fast 300m, supported by newcomer Khaian Relf, before going on to smash the four-year-old league 1,500m record by over three seconds with a time of 4.23.4.
Runner-up Will Broom also set a fine time of 4.27.8, less than a second outside the previous record.
Leo Stallard, Ned Potter and JJ Staples added depth in the same race as non-scorers.
With Jeremy Sharp and another newcomer Ben Westron combining well over 800m and Ethan Brown, partnered by Relf, scoring good points in the hurdles, Chichester were neck and neck with Crawley going into the throws.
James Gillett and Gus Haplink gained two runners-up spots in the shot while Harry Talbot was in both discus and hammer, having to contend with a Worthing athlete setting a new league record of over 40m in the discus as well as launching the hammer close to the 50m mark, one of the longest throws in the UK this year.
Haplink had a new partner Simon Zbieranowski in the javelin to keep the momentum going with a third A string and first B string respectively.
The girls' squad was severely depleted in the same match but Rachel Laurie continued her sparkling sprinting form with a an impressive sprint double over 100m and 200m, beating some talented athletes from both Crawley and Horsham.
The league also provides an opportunity for newer athletes to compete under match conditions with Annie Gibson and Molly Hogan-Hussein taking full advantage to set their first official times in 800m and 100m.
The final league match at Horsham takes place on Friday, July 24, before the Sussex grand final at the Withdean, Brighton on September 4.

I had my car at Audi North Austin several weeks ago for a suspension light on the dash.
After the first week passed I called for an update and got "we needed to order parts from Germany, it should be ready next week".
The second week came and went and I had to call for another update "We just got parts, you're next in line, it should be ready in 3 days"
1 weekend and 3 days later I call back "The car in front of you is taking longer than we expected, we'll have it done in 3 days"
Then service manager calls me to report report "I am told we are not meeting your exceptions" and he wants to know "what can we do about it".
I said simply, "set my expectations properly". I had no expectation for timing of service when I dropped the car off. I choose a DRC equipped Rs7. I knew the car was rare 'ish, and the suspension rare option. I'm not surprised the parts aren't readiliy available. But I was told one week, then one more week, then 3 days. It was in this call he reported that the car was still not being addressed. That they still did not have the parts they needed and cited a back story of problems sourcing the magnetic hydraulic fluid for the shocks and issues getting it and why they needed to get Audi Corperate Service involved to get some US based dealership to let go of parts they had on hand. I appreciated the story, but just wanted to know when I'd get my car back. He said 3 days. He let me know that he was going on vacation and that the dealership would be following up with me in his absense.
3 days came and went. 4 days.... on the 5th day I started called. Took me several hours, 10 calls, numerous voice mails to get a return call. To add insult to this experience, everytime I called I got to listen to some add about how this dealership had won an award for customer service. I found that impossible to believe.
Now 4 weeks into the experience, I got someone on the phone who informed me that the shop equipment had broken and they were unable to fill the car with fluid. So it would be, you guessed it "3 more days".
The following Monday, Memorial day, I got a call telling me I could come pick up the car. The manager informed me that they had detected an alignment issue which they would correct. I was then called to come get the car. I showed up to pick up the car and was presented with a bill for $190 for the alignment I hadn't asked for.
My contact wasn't available, so I asked for the GM. I got the director of sales.... as I understand it he was 2nd to the GM over sales and I think I now understand that my contact was 2nd to the GM over service. I calmly explained my ordeal. I was complimented for my calm demeanor and I shared that while i don't think people are inherently dishonest, there was clearly a broken process that allowed my car to slip through the cracks over and over.
The worst part was repeated commitments for delivery and not one follow-up call to tell me the car would not be ready as committed.
This is my first Audi. It's an Rs7. I do believe that everyone deserves to be treated fairly and equally. I bought a flagship car for this brand. I expect much, MUCH more for this dollar amount from this brand.

Co-ordinating action on Class 1A National Insurance contributions and income tax
Class 1A National Insurance contributions (NICs) are due if the conditions in NIM13020 are satisfied. One of those conditions is that there must be general earnings chargeable to Income Tax under the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, see NIM13070. If you consider that Class 1A NICs are due and Income Tax has not been paid, you should try to deal with the Class 1A NICs and the Income Tax at the same time. For more information, see DANSP46000.

The Commercialism of the Local Library
In a new cost-savings measure the local libraries of Fairfax county, Virginia are using computers to target books which have not been circulating in the last two years. One of the victims of this 'purge' which has taken a heavy toll on classic literature, is Jane Eyre:
The Fairfax libraries are now using new computer software programs to identify titles that have not been checked out in 24 months. Victims, to date, include the speeches and writings of Abraham Lincoln, The Education of Henry Adams, poems of Emily Dickinson, and, according to the Washington Post's Lisa Rein, "thousands of novels and nonfiction works" that were swept up in the computer vacuuming.
Other books that have been "weeded" from the shelves of various branches of the Fairfax County Public Library system or haven't been checked out in 24 months and could be discarded include: The Works of Aristotle, The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner, The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy, For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway, Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak, and The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams.
Other selections expunged from various branch libraries are Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, and Virgil's The Aeneid.
Among the more contemporary authors excluded from some libraries are the likes of Kate Millett, Jack Kerouac, and Maya Angelou.
The top 25 books checked out in December, from Fairfax County libraries, were best-sellers by John Grisham, David Baldacci, James Patterson, Nelson DeMille, Stephen King and Alice McDermott, among others. Most are entertaining, but only a few will be considered classics in 25 years.
I have mentioned here before that the school board in my hometown (in southern Ontario) had a policy of destroying books which had not circulated in the last four years. The librarians covertly ignored or otherwise circumvented these rules. They were appalled, but also had practical reasons for not complying. Circulation of books in these libraries does not rely on interest alone. Knowing that bookstores are increasingly slashing their stock (Chapters cut 3 000 titles from their catalogue this year while they have all but obliterated independent bookstores across the country where readers might otherwise obtain the books they want), it is especially alarming to hear that another venue for reading less popular works might be closing. Remember my quest to find a copy of Agnes Grey? I eventually had to order it online. It was not in the library system for the entire county- and my hometown, while not a major city, is still larger than Halifax which is a provincial capital! None of the bookstores carried it: neither Chapters nor the poor remnants we have of second-hand and independent shops.
What if I had been unable to afford such a luxury? What if I had not been computer literate?

The Commercialism of the Local Library
4 comments:
Glad you are getting settled and back to blogging - I have missed you - in your moves . . .
It is sad indeed that libraries are forced to bow to popular culture - I first read Jane when I was in high school and it was required that I "pick" from a list of english classics . . . but it's been one of my favorite books ever since. Any Library that removes it from their shelves is stupid, indeed . . .
I'm glad to share that both my daughers have read and enjoyed it since (ages 25 and 17) - - -
happy new year friend,
- 10:37 p.m.
It's getting to the point where, if I see one of these classic books in a bookstore and don't own it yet, I snap it up immediately, for fear it will never be there again. When I saw Agnes Grey at Borders just a few weeks after reading your Search for Agnes Grey post, I got bought it at once, at recently did the same with The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
- 7:31 p.m.
Destroying uncirculated books?? So odd...its like some sick form of retribution...I can just picture some board member stomping on a poor helpless book..."dare to take up room on our shelves, eh?? Well, no one likes you so you must pay!!" (stomp, stomp, stomp)
- 12:22 p.m.

Ok, LJ randomly coughed up this old post of yours! :-P
But anyway, I remember being insulted that Agnes Grey wasn't at our Borders. I bugged a manager to lemme order it for the shelves, and we finally did. Not sure it ever actually sold, though. :-P
But that's another thing. Borders, at least (and I think B&N in the U.S. too), *can* order a lot of the books it doesn't bother to carry. Not sure about Chapters.
- 1:33 p.m.

Here, in this fabled realm of magic and honour, he must at last confront the demons of his dark past, even as Alec discovers an unimagined heritage.

Song is very brief and links people in different stages of life to flowers. Roses and young people are matched and laurels are paired with people in their prime. The narrator has grown old before her time and chooses to be represented by ivy leaves.
The second verse links flowers with the age of people when they die. Young graves are covered with violets, graves of people in their prime are adorned with bay leaves and the narrator's grave is strewn with ivy leaves to show that she died before her time.
Song Analysis
This poem demonstrates a preoccupation with the topic of death. The narrator is so unhappy that all she can think about is the topic of death. The choice of ivy leaves is interesting, as ivy is known for sucking life from other trees. Reading between the lines we can...

You know you're hiding something when...
... China urges you to be more transparent.
... China urges you to be more transparent.
One real enemy of transparency: Our short attention spans. It's easier to sling the B.S., knowing by the time the truth is apparent, everyone will be on to the next thing.
For example, when this went down in Japan, many nuclear-industry fans ventured forward to defend how these reactors were doing. People like Jim Karlock got personal with it, taking a comment I had made and breaking it down with my name in bold font numerous times followed by a phrase from the comment. This got under my skin. Perhaps he was counting on me forgetting and moving onto the next debate about the water bureau or whatever. Here's a little bit from his response - without the names in bold font:
"Bill McDonald: There's a reason Chernobyl is still basically an abandoned city. If the same number of people had died there because of coal, at least we could go back.
JK: Pardon me, 400 times as many people die from coal EVERY YEAR as died from Chernobly. And quit comparing a primitive reactors WITHOUT CONTAINMENT to our newer safer designs. It's a cheap scare tactic."
Well, Mr. Karlock, I guess you have a problem with the government of Japan. They are now using "a cheap scare tactic" to compare their problem to Chernobyl, too.
Do you put your apologies in bold font, or is that just used when you're being obnoxious?
See a therapist Bill.
Like that would help.
Talking back to Karlock is a little like talking back to Prozac.
Bill is correct about something, though. Modern communications, especially the internet, have given us the attention span of a squirrel. Researchers are currently studying and penning books about it.
It opens the door to all sorts of political manipulation and mayhem.
Okay, I'm over it. What set me off was his statement that depleted uranium wasn't radioactive. It sure has been a problem for our troops and the citizens of Iraq, especially in dust form after the shell explodes.
If you thought the Chernobyl pictures were disturbing try some of the pictures of deformed kids in Fallujah.
Oh well. I apologize for letting this get to me. This reactor thing in Japan has put my temper on edge. Remember when all we had to worry about was runaway Toyotas?

It's a downloadable item if you buy the game from LaLaBit Market.
1st DLC PV up.Includes new song Vortex Meister as well as M@STERPIECE, Destiny, Ramune Iro Seishun, and Positive.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS86NXa_sh86 DLC catalogs from launch until March.
And shouldn't it be Vertex instead of Vortex.
The ICONIC M@STERPIECE costume is returning?! I can't believe it they actually did that lol. This makes me even more sad that they probably won't bring any other costumes. But hey, I'm happy about it! I love that costume. Still, 6 catalogs seems quite a lack of them, especially if they're going to distribute them in just 3 months, but I guess that they make 12 if you merge them with PS's catalogs...
the bikini from ramune-iro seishun (forgot ist name) is also comming back with this dlc so i guess they will bring back 2 old costumes with each dlc?

RATIONALE: Aromatase inhibitors, such as letrozole, prevent the formation of estradiol, a female hormone. Giving letrozole together with goserelin, leuprolide, or surgery may be an effective treatment in women with hormone-dependent breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving letrozole together with goserelin or leuprolide works in treating premenopausal estrogen receptor-positive patients with stage IV breast cancer.
|Condition or disease
|Breast Cancer
|Drug: goserelin Drug: letrozole Drug: leuprolide acetate Procedure: conventional surgery
|Phase 2
- To measure overall response rate (ORR) in premenopausal women treated with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) and ovarian suppression (OS).
- To measure time to treatment failure (TTF) in premenopausal women treated with an AI and OS.
- To measure time to progression (TTP) in premenopausal women treated with an AI and OS.
- To measure time to death in premenopausal women treated with an AI and OS.
- To assess the clinical benefit rate (CBR) in premenopausal women treated with an AI and OS.
- To measure the qualitative and quantitative toxicity of an AI and OS.
- To determine whether ORR, TTP, and CBR are similar to what is seen in postmenopausal women treated with an AI.
- To determine whether ORR, TTP, and CBR are similar to what is seen in premenopausal women treated with tamoxifen and OS.
- To determine if levels of estrogen (i.e., estradiol or estrone) are adequately suppressed in premenopausal women on an AI and OS.
OUTLINE: This is a pilot, open-label study.
Patients undergo surgical ovarian suppression (OS) or medical OS with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist (i.e., goserelin or leuprolide acetate, intramuscularly once monthly for 3 months and then every 2 months thereafter for the duration of study therapy). Beginning on day 14 after initiation of LHRH-agonist therapy or surgery, patients receive oral letrozole once daily. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Menopausal status is tested periodically during study by measuring serum estradiol levels. Patients not converting to a menopausal state after the first month of study therapy, receive a higher dose of LHRH and undergo repeat estradiol testing in the second month. If the patient continues to be premenopausal, they are then considered for bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy or removed from study.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 2 years, and annually thereafter.

While Vettel and Red Bull dominated the 2011 season, 2012 is turning out to be a different story with several drivers and teams fighting it out for wins and championship. As of now, 7 different drivers from 5 different teams have stood at the top step of the podium.
Fernando Alonso is the one who has made the most of his car and leads the championship by 40 points. 5 fourth places and two stunning wins at Monaco and Silverstone places Mark Webber in 2nd place ahead of his teammate and reigning World Champion Sebatian Vettel and McLaren's Lewis Hamilton. Kimi Raikkonen, who returned to F1 this year is in 5th place with 116 points, 48 points adrift of leader Fernando Alonso.
In the constructors standings, Red Bull are on top with consistent performance from both the drivers. McLaren are in 2nd place with 193 points, just one point ahead of Lotus F1 team and four points ahead of Ferrari. Mercedes won their first race(at Malaysia) since their comeback, but elsewise have had a poor season so far and are 5th in the standings.
So, here's our mid-season review, which will be in 3 parts: the first one covering the top runners - Red Bull, McLaren, Lotus and Ferrari; the second one covering the mid-fielders - Mercedes, Sauber, Williams and Force India; and the final one covering the backmarkers - Toro Rosso, Caterham, Marussia and HRT.
Red Bull
The double-diffuser was one of the main reasons why Red Bull was so fast last year. Unfortunately for them, it got banned this year and they have lost performance because of that. However, they've pushed the rules(hole in floor, for instance) as they lead the constructors standings by a comfortable margin of 49 points. However, they're nowhere close to where they were last year in terms of results.
Unlike 2011, Webber has been performing consistently at the top and is challenging Vettel rather than playing a side role. In fact, he's ahead of the German in drivers standings. With two wins and 5 fourth place finishes he sits in 2nd place in standings, 40 points adrift of leader Fernando Alonso.
At this time last year, Vettel had won 9 races and was running away with the drivers standings. Though he hasn't been as strong this year but he's still in 3rd places in the drivers standings with one win, three pole podiums and two podium finishes. He'll need a few more wins and podium places if he wants to win his 3rd title this year.
McLaren have had a crazy season, despite having the fastest car, they just haven't scored the points they could have scored. After locking the front row and winning the first race of the season, the Australian Grand Prix, McLaren results showed a down trend. Some poor pit stops meant that they lost multiple places and chances of winning races.
After multiple collisions with Felipe Massa in a poor 2011 season, we saw a new Lewis Hamilton in 2012. He's performed better than everyone in qualifying with 3 pole positions and having qualified in top 10 at all races. The story ain't as good when it comes to race, but the British driver still managed to win two races(Canada and Hungary) and a further two podiums.
After an amazing victory at Australia and 2nd place in China, Button's performance saw a serious drop. He complaint about lack of grip as he stayed out of top 7 for next 6 races. However, he's back with the recent updates to his McLaren but the damage has already been done. He has scored less than half the points of Fernando Alonso and needs a miracle to win the driver standings.
Lotus is one team which has exceeded expectations of everyone this year. Their car is extremely strong in hot conditions and despite not tasting victory they are are 3rd in the constructors standings, just one point behind McLaren. The only thing they need to improve on is qualifying.
Unlike Schumacher, Raikkonen's comeback has been extremely good with 5 podium finishes. His performance has been consistent and he's just a point behind 2008 world champion Lewis Hamilton in 5th place.
Grosjean, likewise had an amazing comeback. He has been extremely fast in practice sessions and qualifying but hasn't performed that well when it matters the most - race. Nonetheless, he has scored two podiums - two 3rd place finished in Bahrain and Hungary. He's tied with Jenson Button in 7th place with 76 points.
Ferrari started the season with serious problems - they just didn't have pace in the car. However, with Fernando Alonso driving at his best and Massa improving, Ferrari are in 4th place with 189 points and three wins.
Fernando Alonso has drove stupendously this year in what his team describes 'he driving at his best'. He has managed to get most out of his car and tactfully used wet conditions to win 3 races this year. His experience has helped him to lead this year's drivers standings by a massive margin of 40 points. Another important thing to note is that Alonso has scored points in each and every race this season.
Felipe Massa's return since his accident in Hungary 2009 hasn't been particularly good but he's performed better than he did last year. He has scored points in 5 races so far with 4th place at Britain being the best result for the Brazilian who's contract with Ferrari expires at the end of this year.
So, that's the first part of our mid-season review. We'll soon post the 2nd part covering the midfielders. Keep a track on that using our Facebook, Twitter and Google+ page or directly from our site.

Download the authoritative guide: Cloud Computing 2018: Using the Cloud to Transform Your Business
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. Google previewed new technologies and services here at company headquarters during its day-long cloud computing event dubbed 'Atmosphere' that the company said attracted 400 CIOs and IT executives.
Bradley Horowitz, Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) vice president of product management for Google Apps, said the cloud is rapidly becoming the primary platform for most computing innovation if it isn't already. "Think of a Web app that's been introduced in the past five years that's compelling," he told the audience. "Now think of a client app that's been introduced in the past five years that's compelling."
Horowitz let those two requests hang in the air for a few seconds, leaving the impression there were no recent client apps to get excited about compared to Twitter, Google's own Apps and other cloud-based applications that have seen rapid adoption.
"Client apps are in many cases becoming extinct," he said. "The best thing about the Web is that it's open, so instead of 100,000 people working on an application that takes years to update, you have a hundred million people making Web applications better every moment."
Google plans to bring out several new advanced capabilities to Gmail that Horowitz briefly previewed. First he highlighted a few of the e-mail product's lesser-known features, such as translation. In a demo he received an e-mail in Japanese. Since he signed on and used the service in English, Gmail automatically offered the option of translating the message to English, which it did at the click of the mouse.
While he said most U.S. users won't notice the translation feature, he said it's "huge" in other countries and a boon for anyone that regularly has to correspond with people who e-mail in a different language.
As for future capabilities, Horowitz briefly showed a prototype of a "multi-way, multiplex meeting" from within Gmail that looked similar to a video conference call, with four speakers available to join in on the video feed (they all waved when requested to show it was real). Horowitz said the technology is "coming soon. We're just figuring out how to deliver it."
He said Google is also working on a way to bring "smart scheduling" to its online calendar and offload some of the more tedious scheduling tasks executive assistants typically have to engage in. In the demo, he entered the criteria that 22 guests in five locations needed to meet. At the click of a mouse, Google's program searched all the user's calendars and work schedules and shot back the best potential times while also highlighting any conflicts.
"In its current form, this won't put your executive assistant out of a job, but will make [scheduling] more enjoyable eliminating some of the more tedious aspects," said Horowitz.
In search of dark information
In a separate panel session, Google's chief Internet evangelist Vint Cerf said there are plenty of areas related to search where Google has more work to do.
"Just as there is dark matter in the universe, there is a huge amount of 'dark information' on the Web that we have to make more discoverable," said Cerf.
Google already offers what it calls 'universal search' that can find videos, images and other types of information. Like its competitors, the company also recognizes certain "microformats" and data structures to help find different kinds of documents that a standard text search wouldn't. But there are countless research, educational and corporate documents on the Web that conventional search still won't find or at least produce in an easily accessible way.
Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president of search products & user experience, said "search is just getting started. I only do about 20 percent of the searches that pop into my head," and that the modes of search will evolve with the advent of mobile devices.

Chloe (Allison Mack) may be gone, but Smallville still has many tales to tell before the series comes to an end.
As Alexander Luthor (Lucas Grabeel) becomes the focus in this week's episode, "Scion," it's going to take a battle to find out who decides the fate of this "special" Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) creation.
With Lois (Erica Durance), Clark (Tom Welling) and Tess (Cassidy Freeman) fighting for the side of good, Lionel (John Glover) appears to be outmatched. Of course, when it comes down to "family" (or obtaining absolute power), one can never underestimate the lengths that a Luthor will go to in order to come out on top.
Since the first introduction of the Lex Luthor clone, Alexander Luthor, in the Smallville season 10 premiere, fans have been wondering what secrets may lie within this human experiment. Following the revelation that needles cannot pierce his skin, Alexander Luthor's destiny was all-but spelled out. (You can read about what that destiny is here: 'Smallville': BIG Alexander Luthor Spoiler! )
While last week's The Hangover inspired episode was entertaining (and revealing – Oliver Queen drag, anyone?), I'm happy to see Smallville return to one of its core seasonal story-arcs. With seven episodes remaining, there isn't any room left for episodic play - it's time for Clark Kent to become Superman.
In the clips below, you'll get a hint at Alexander Luthor's capabilities and Lionel will show the younger Luthor exactly what it means to wear his family crest:
"Scion" Preview
"Scion" Clip
For those that can't wait until Friday to find out what fate holds for Alexander Luthor, you can use the previously provided links to reveal all.
Considering the episodic preview was so titillating, I'm surprised to see that the clip was, well, bland. Could they have made it even more obvious that the scene provided is the turning point in Alexander Luthor's destiny? After Lionel won him over - it's this moment that could cause young Lex to change his mind?

Massive Youth Beatdown in Iran!
Iranian police get prepared for a raid…
Iran Focus has updates on the continuing crackdown across Iran. The authorities are now beating and arresting youths on bogus charges:
Iran's State Security Forces (SSF) are clamping down on youths across the country.
Residents in Tehran say that bogus charges are being used as justification for the arrest of political activists and those perceived to be potential threats to the security of the clerical establishment.
One Tehran resident reached by telephone told Iran Focus that thousands of youths had been arrested on "phoney charges" such as non-conformance to the Islamic Republic's strict dress code or even drug trafficking. "Maybe less than one percent of those arrested have actually done something illegal. The rest are being picked up at random for socialising in public or looking at the security forces in a certain manner", the resident said on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.
Here are some pictures from the ongoing crackdown:

While other little girls were fantasizing about becoming doctors or lawyers, Alex Garrett dreamed of conquering the high-powered world of Wall Street. Now she's grown and determined to make it big in bond sales at Cromwell Pierce, one of the Street's most esteemed brokerage firms. Though she's prepared to fight her way into an elitist boys' club, she starts out small, relegated to a kiddie-size folding chair with her new moniker, "Girlie," inscribed in Wite-Out across the back. Always keeping her eyes on the prize (and ignoring her friends' pleas for her to quit), Alex quickly learns how to roll with the punches, rising from lowly analyst to slightly-less-lowly associate in no time. Suddenly she's being addressed by her real name, and the boys' club has transformed into forty older brothers . . . and one possible boyfriend. But then the apocalypse hits, and Alex is faced with the most difficult choice of her life: to stick with Cromwell Pierce as it teeters on the brink of disaster . . . or to kick off her Jimmy Choos and go running for higher ground.I read this book based on a review written by another book blogger. Unfortunate, I was disappointed by this book. It reminded me of The Nanny Diaries and The Devil Wears Prada. Perhaps I was expecting a different outcome, but the book felt very formulaic. On the positive, the book was an interesting look at Wall Street before the latest financial crisis. The romantic plot lines were boring and lacking creativity.
If you like The Nanny Diaries and The Devil Wears Prada, but are looking for a different take on a similar industry this book is not for you.

KINGSVILLE, KLEBERG COUNTY - The first phase of the 504-bed Legends Kingsville is underway near Texas A&M University-Kingsville. The off-campus project is estimated to cost $22 million.
Spaces will include one-, two- and four-bedroom options. Residents will be able to sign leases for their beds rather than the full apartment, so they are not responsible for the entire space.
"Kingsville has such a rich significance in Texas history with the King Ranch and Naval Air Station Kingsville," says Eric Jakimier, owner of Domus Development.
The 23-acre site is located at 1400 West Santa Gertrudis. Domus Development said the leasing office will be open November 2014, and that college students will be able to move in beginning August 2015.

The Message Contained In a Statement with 700 Signatures
The statement prepared for the June 11th Women's Solidarity Day, which was signed by over 700 civil society activists in Iran, demonstrates that despite all the tribulations and pressures of the previous years and specifically those of the recent months, some of the most dedicated activists demanding legislative changes and improvement in the women's rights arena in Iran, have indeed renewed their faith in the outcome, gaining more support.
Those who try to eliminate discrimination amidst the social, political, and economic challenges of recent years, endurance of which is no easy feat, attempt law changes, cultural changes and criticism of deep-rooted traditions and beliefs in the multi-layered Iranian society.
In addition, issuing an assertive statement promising continuation of the movement and the will to realize demands costs for which escalate on a daily basis, proves how wrong those security-minded authorities are who think suppressive and oppressive confrontations in a police state, threatening to civic activists will delay or eliminate such demands.
It is now customary for suppressed social movements to be linked to entities abroad by security forces, as their activists are labeled, and financial, moral and other files are fabricated for them, their names continuously smeared in Kayhan, creating serious difficulties for them when they sign statements and petitions. I remember that in the past years, whenever such waves of attacks were directed at activists, even the heartiest of them who always signed these protest statements, would face reservations and trepidations in signing yet one more statement or petition.
I believe there are still those who face those reservations; those who seeing the incredibly swift suppression of even the most peaceful social protests—the flag for which is carried by Iranian women—experience misgivings in signing statements of support or protest. On the other hand, however, the flood of people who believe in the validity of such movements, or those who believe in pursuing the cause increases daily, delivering new names accompanying the old, promising that despite what a select few among security and judicial authorities who pursue civil movements with hate and hysteria think, the voices of women, as active participants of Iranian civil society, are heard by others. All the policies supporting beating, arresting, imprisoning, labeling, and libel against activists in that infamous newspaper, is not only no longer effective, it goes to prove that Iranian society supports the demands raised by educated women of Iran.
Now Kayhan's Editor can continue writing his "House of Spiders" series I, II, and III, and in "special reports" he can connect everyone to foreign organizations and countries and intelligence services of western countries, etc. Nothing will change. These libel-filled articles, under the best of circumstances, will only continue to fool those who govern blindly, and will not affect the will of those activists. Seven hundred conscious votes of individuals some of whom have years of knowledge and experience behind their signatures and know the price of having signed prior statements, demonstrates that those methods, though effective for a while in the past, will now only deliver infamy to organizations supporting them.
The dedicated, thoughtful, and hard-working sections of the regime, whether in security or judicial branches now have a pivotal opportunity. They can receive the message contained in the powerful statement issued on the occasion of Women's Solidarity Day. The message is that the people of Iran along with Iranian and international civil societies, in their cooperation with campaigns such as "No Stoning Campaign," or "One Million Singatures for Changing Anti-Women Laws Campaign," present viable demands in peaceful, humanitarian, and legitimate ways. Resisting such legitimate movements not only vilifies the regime, as seen in previous years, it will contribute to further deepening of the rift between the people and the government. Understanding those who lovingly and patiently demand improvements in their society, and joining and assisting these demands instead of going against the flow as Kayhan prescribes, will strengthen their ties with people of Iran and will reduce the perils of ineffective policies, returning energy and exuberance to Iranian civil society. It makes no difference which government is in power—such a prescription will help all authorities to get closer to the society they govern and instead of following the civil society, they can take charge of the process, working closely with the public, using all opportunities in different areas, compensating for the government's earlier losses.
Those 700 signatures, some of which represent activists who have served jail terms, while some others still have open cases in the courts, released on heavy bails, braving the sword hanging over their heads which could return them to jail, indeed represents a very positive promise. Those signatures could tell the wiser in the regime, especially amongst the worldly moderate conservatives, that actions taken against Iranian civil society—and specifically that which has been done to women's rights activists—has been an ugly, unfruitful, and costly project.
To those who sent this message should go congratulations for having turned every single bad event of recent years into a bouquet of flowers, the fragrance of which is pleasing to all Iranian civil society activists.

The Age of Aquarius
Happy 2013!
The end of an era and the birth of a new age
Congratulations! If you are reading this it means you have survived 'the end of the world', as predicted by the Mayan calendar recordings ending on 12.12.12.
The full moon in Cancer/Capricorn (28th December 2012) heralds a month which draws us all into the fullness of our feelings and soul stirrings, it is a time for families and communities to link up as we look back at the last four or five weeks and realize we've been living on the edge of a collective sense that something is ending and something new is being born. For many of us it has been a very challenging year, stretching us to our limits, testing us for our deepest values and giving us the grit to question the status quo perhaps like we never have before.
The end of the Mayan calendars long count (5,125 years) at the 2012 solstice (21.12.12) coincides with the formal beginning of a New World Age according to the Maya, and coincides with what we have been calling 'The Aquarian Age', which we've been hearing about, reading about and singing about for the last forty years. (refer to the musical 'Hair')
There is a shift of the galactic alignment of the 2012 solstice Sun, which could be associated with a possible formal beginning of a new cycle of precession: the beginning of the Aquarian age. Pisces is considered the last sign/constellation of the zodiac, that makes Aquarius the next age via precession, as it goes backwards through the twelve signs. The galactic center alignment occurs once every approximately 26,000 years. This precessional cycle comes about because of the earth's minor wobble on its axis.
The Age of Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of shocking and revolutionary change and awakening. It is associated with freedom, social justice, brotherhood, a new humanity and new technology. It is the energy of those acting for the greater common good.
We are still in the midst, and will be until March 2015 of an enormous revolution of consciousness as Uranus in fiery and directional Aries and Pluto in ambitious and conservative Capricorn, square each other seven times (which is rare) over the next 16 months or so. (see article)
The radical questioning and challenging of many of our well established institutions, some of them the pillars of our infra-structure and financial systems, like Wall Street, as well the whole banking system. And in other parts of the world: the Middle Eastern dictatorships, as well as the Capitalist system, the Communist system, and more recently that unstoppable institution in the US, the NRA, as the US faces up to its Second Amendment and whether or not everyone should be so freely entitled to carry weapons designed to kill other human beings, and whether this is actually appropriate in this day and age.
The combination of Uranus and Pluto in these 'first quarter' squares is potentially the most profoundly transformational and far-reaching of all the planetary combinations.
Our collective consciousness is also more and more moving towards a merging of us into 'One', which has also been described as one of the characteristics of this new Aquarian age, as we deeply sense how linked we all are, in our brotherhood, facing up to the biggest collective challenge: the environment. The world wide web is joining us all to each other intimately as we discover that we can change things profoundly from the grass roots up, using this brilliant technology.
Neptune's passage into Pisces (see article) and Saturn's move into Scorpio, a harmonious trine relationship between these two, is like salve to our weathered brows, holding our Souls for the deepest healing (with Chiron in Pisces too).
We somehow know that there has to be a revolution in consciousness for the new version of humanity to rise like a phoenix from the ashes of several thousand years of conflict, intolerance and materialism. And may all our intelligence and humanitarianism now assist in this rebirth.

Hundreds of thousands of people will attend services to mark Anzac Day across the country and at special locations around the world as interest grows in the day of remembrance for Australia's war dead.
More than 30,000 people are expected at the dawn service at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, an event where attendance has grown steadily in recent years.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will attend the main Anzac Day ceremony in Canberra later - the first time members of the British royal family have been present for the commemorations in the national capital for 44 years.
Around the nation the story of growing interest in Anzac Day is the same, with crowd numbers increasing at services and marches in capital cities.
"It's getting bigger and bigger in every state," RSL national secretary John King said.
"The last couple of years there has been a marked increase in people attending."
In Sydney, up to 200,000 people are expected to turn out to watch the march, which will be led by some of the nation's youngest war veterans: soldiers returned from duty in Afghanistan.
In Melbourne, too, Australia's most recent returned servicemen will be a focus, with Afghanistan veteran Colonel Mark Jennings to address some 70,000 people expected at the Shrine of Remembrance.
This year is the 99th anniversary of the Gallipoli landing by Australian and New Zealand forces in World War I, and about 6000 people have camped out for the dawn service at the Turkish battleground.
But Anzac Day will also be remembered in services at Villers-Bretonneux in France - the scene of horrendous Australian casualties in the Great War, and at services in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, where Anzac troops served during World War II.
Veterans and those who fell in the Vietnam War will be honoured in services in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and at the scene of the 1966 Battle of Long Tan in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.
While 2014 marks the first year that large numbers of Australian troops are not serving overseas - after the 2013 withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan - many service men and women will mark the day while on foreign postings.
About 400 soldiers remain in Afghanistan, where dawn services will be held at military bases in Kabul and Kandahar.

text: ARGOS -- Close your eyes at Jean DeRuiter's house, and the peace is almost deafening. Soft birdsong and the call of cicadas mingle on a breeze that sighs through tall stalks of corn. It's the never-ending soundtrack of life in rural America, and it suits the longtime resident just fine. "We love it," she said with a smile, taking a break from a painting project in her backyard. "Although, when my son was in the Navy, he'd say 'Mom, I don't know how you stand it. I'm used to having airplanes flying over all the time.'æ" These days, however, DeRuiter and her neighbors are worried they might lose forever the things they love about life in the country, as a group of investors studies the possibility of building an ethanol plant on nearby land. While Indiana Renewable Fuels (IRF) has not yet determined whether they will build the plant on the site in question just east of Michigan Road and north of 19th Road south of Argos, or on another site in Fulton County, residents of the homes surrounding the Marshall County site are already pursuing a grass-roots effort to keep the plant out of their backyards. At homes along Michigan Road south of the town and on nearby side streets, many front yards are sprouting signs opposing the plant, some featuring the word "ethanol" surrounded by a bright red circle with a slash through it. Knock on the doors of those homes, and people like Carol Bibler will answer, ready to talk about the concerns that have them working hard to head off the project. "I see a lot of families' lives being disrupted because of this," said Bibler, who has lived in her home along Michigan Road for more than 30 years. "We are going to fight this however we can." Bibler said that local folks' concerns extend beyond losing the rural character of the area. One problem, she said, is that the plant is expected to create a large increase in truck traffic on small rural roads, creating a safety hazard for drivers and pedestrians. Another concern she voiced is the possibility of noise caused by the plant's operations. Like many industrial facilities, an operating ethanol plant creates noise through the use of machinery on the site, and Bibler said residents are worried that the noise will be detrimental to the rural character of the area. Charlene Miller, whose home is located on the southern border of the proposed plant site, said one of her main concerns is the wells that would be drilled to feed the plant with the water it needs to produce ethanol. "There is a landfill just south of here, and as they pump that water out of the ground, it's going to be pulling bad water out of that landfill and into our wells," she said. But while they haven't formally picked a site for the plant, IRF officials are already touting the benefits of the operation. Like the $135 million they say it could pump into the area's economy. And the 45 full-time jobs it could create for area residents. As for the concerns about the physical impact the plant could have, IRF President Glen Bode said he is ready to discuss those matters at a public hearing on the plant proposal, slated to be held during tonight's meeting of the Marshall County Plan Commission. "Based on other experiences we have seen and heard about, we believe a plant like this can co-exist with residential properties," he said. It may, however, be a tough sell to the people living around the proposed site, who are already preparing for the battle they believe is coming. Miller said that if IRF officials are looking at the public hearing as a way to test the waters for public acceptance of their plant, they needn't bother. "That water is hot," she said, laughing.
