The areas of Bhojpur, Buxar and Rohtas and Kaimur districts have been separated under a new University - Veer Kunwar Singh University, with its headquarters at Ara in October 1992. The headquarters of this university is established at Gaya, about 2.5 Km away from the world famed heritage site of Mahabodhi Mahavihara or the Great Temple.

At the time of independence, Patna University was the only university of state which was imparting postgraduate teaching. In 1952 Patna University was given a status of teaching - cum residential University with the selected colleges established in Patna along the Ashok Raj Path. The other colleges of the state were brought under the control of Bihar University, a newly University created. Consequently several colleges were established to impart education to the remote areas a separated Bihar has today 12 Universities - Patna, Bihar, Magadh, Bhagalpur, Mithila, JP, VKS, BN Mandal, Nalanda Open, Sanskrit, Arabic and Chankya. Magadh University is the largest and the most popular one.

Radhakrishnan, the then president of our Republic of India on the August 20,1964. The Post Graduate teachings in Sciences - Physics, Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology - were started in 1966 in the buildings of Gaya College. After three and four years the office and departments were shifted on the present campus in 1969 and 1972. Again the university kept expanding with the passage of times when other subjects i.e. Psychology, Pol. Science, AIAS, Applied Economic and Commerce, Sanskrit, Pali, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Sociology, Labour and Social Welfare, Journalism and Buddhist studies were added.

Media coverage of Magadh University, Bodh Gaya Bihar, Bihar
Message from Vice ChancellorDear Friends,
I have proud privilege to express my happiness that Magadh University, Bodh- Gaya is ready to enter into the web-World through its own website. It is the need of hour to interact with the world with our academic and research activities as well. We have strived hard to remain on the frontiers of the Information Technology with a focus on education and research community. Our university has been pushing to have a single integrated heterogeneous web network of our educational institutions to enable them to connect to the world of information and facilitate them to share their work and research and development.
For success of the website, it is imperative that awareness be created about the objective, to the institutions. It is also important to disseminate information on the various technologies and the feasible mode of connecting institutions. These entail certain pre-requisite steps, which are necessary to be taken for establishing reliable connectivity. I wish this web site would fulfill the desire of the university to interact with academic world.
With thanks
Dr. (Prof.) B.N.Pandey
About Bodh GayaGaya and Bodhgaya are two towns not as twin but definitely behaving like so. These are separated by the Brahmayoni Hills but connected by two passages, one almost from the middle and the second by the side of the river Phalgu. These passages are well developed as metal led roads. The main road is the National Highway No. 83 which connects Gaya and Bodhgaya by the prominent National Highway No. 2 or the old G. T. Road at Dobhi about 30 km in the straight south. This National Highway gives passage to Gaya & Bodhgaya and connects Dhanbad, Kolkata from the east, and Varanasi, Allahabad and Delhi from the west. From north Gaya is linked with Patna, the capital and cosmopolitan town of the State from where it takes passages upto Kathmandu J Nepal and N. E. parts of the country. The recently developed Gaya International Aerodrome facilitates tourists to visit the towns comfortably. The riverside passage directly connects Gaya from Bodhgaya about 15 km in the south. Both are the ancient towns and even today are emerging in such as fascinating way that in coming decade these are set to be continuous, overlapping and may emerge as a million city. Both the towns are supporting Magadh University. Bodhgaya, The headquarters of the University locates at Bodhgaya but all the feedings colleges are located in Gaya and other adjacent towns. Moreover, Gaya is the main market and residential centre of the teachers, students and other staff of the University who are daily commuters. The Vice - Chancellor of the University resides in Gaya in his official residence. Again, Gaya is the main railway junction from where the people of Bodhgaya also alight and depart. Therefore both, Gaya and Bodhgaya deserve equally to be accounted for.
Gaya is a district town, the second most populous city of Bihar having above 3.48 lakh population belonging to the different ethnic groups. The township expands over an area of about 4976 sq. km. and locates at latitude 24° 47 N and longitude 84° 59 E. on the western side of river Phalgu which flows from south to north - east direction. The town develops in the South Ganga plain at a height of abut 330 feet from sea level surrounded by five hills, namely Ramsiia and Pretsila from North, Katari from the West, Brahmayoni from South and Abigila and Dhonsesri from the east. These hills are of the Archaean age and extension as outlier 1 of the plaleaux of the chotanagpur of Jharkhand. These hills are occupied by the religious monuments belonging to the Hinduism and Buddhism sects. The plain area and hills provide something a changed climate. During summer it becomes too hot and needs a special care to protect human and animals. Similarly winter season becomes more acute due to sudden drop of temperatures especially during nights. The rainy season is comparatively better one due to less rains. February, March and October, November are the pleasant months with mild temperature and humidity. These seasons are called "tourist - season" for Gaya and Bodhgaya.
The history of Gaya is very interesting in the sense that it had has a role in shaping out the Hindu civilization. Gaya is called as Hindu city since time immemorial and exists from the. Pre - Vedic period. !t has witnessed the growth and demise of several dynasties being in their midst. From the 6th BC to the 18th AD, the place has been in the centre of prominence as the cultural capital of Magadh region in India. Dr. Naresh Banerjee mentions about its historical glory in his book. Gaya and Bodh - Gaya; Profile. He accepts that the regime of Gaya opened up with the Sisunaga dynasty founded by himself and who ruled Patna and Gaya around 600 BC. Bimbisare fifth in row who lived and ruled around 519 BC had projected Gaya to the outer world. Later on after a short spell of Nanda dynasty, Gaya along the entire Magadh region came under the Mayuryan rule with Ashoka ( 272 BC - 232 BC ) After Mayuryan rule followed the Gupta dynasty in between 4th to 5th AD. During this period Gaya was much highlighted as the headquarters of Bihar. Its importance continued during Pala dynasty also. Thereafter Gaya survived under Muslims rules. The Pathan Chief Shershah Suri ruled over the place at the end of 16th century. Raja Man Singh of Amer was the Governor of Bihar from 1587 to 1594 AD and he developed a new town of Manpur on the eastern side of the river Phalgu. The Maratha Chief Balaji Rao also passed through the area in 1748. The place came under the control of British rule after the battle of Buxar in 1764. Finally it was liberated with whole country in 1947. The old district of Gaya was created in 1865 had four subdivisions namely, Gaya sadar, Aurangabad, Nawada and Jehanabad. Now the three have already been elevated to the rank of district. Gaya is now a district and headquarters of Magadh Division.
Gaya is one of the most ancient cities of the world. It finds its name in the great epics, Ramayana and Mahabharta, Vrigu Purana mentions it as the most sacred place since it is land of Lord Vishnu and is known as Vishnudham. Gaya Mahatmya a holy book about Gaya, tells about the powerful demon called Gayasura after whom the place is known as Gaya. Lord Vishnu persuaded gayasura to lay motionless with his body forming the Pachkosi Gaya Kshetra ( Five miles Gaya area ), the most pious land on the earth where all gods and goddesses live in serenity. Gayasura laid down on the earth as directed by Lord Vishnu stretching his body. His head was in north upto preshilea hill and his legs to Bodhgaya. His chest laid down between two on which the lord Vishnu put his leg and kept him motionless. That leg of Vishnu is known as Vishnupad and holy temple had been constructed by Ahylya Bai Holkar of Indove, in between 1766 & 1787. This is the focus point of religious Gaya.
Gaya is a famed city for Pindadan (oblations ) The Hindus from all parts of India and abroad visit to offer Pindas to their ancestors specially in the month of September - October every year. This relegious performance is done in the auspicious fortnight (Pitrepaksha) to the departed forefathers. About 4 to 5 lakh pilgrims visit the place for offering oblations in their traditional garbs and the Gaya and Bodhgaya are crowded with such people. It is believed that Lord Rama along with his wife and younger brother Lakhmana visited Gaya for offering Pindadan to their father Dasharatha. The Vedis of Pindadan are mostly located in the Ander Gaya.
Morphologically Gaya town is broadly divided today into two parts, Ander Gaya or Old Gaya and Sahebganj area, Ander Gaya had has been nucleous of all religious activities. Its morphology resembles to old Varanasi pattern with heavily populated congested and narrow streets with frequent turnings. River Phalgu restricts the growth of township towards east. Naturally north - south urban expansion had has been taking place. The locality is full of temples dominated and nationally known as Vishnupad Temple, the Pandas the old community of the Gaya reside dominantly along with business class people. Thus the growth of the built up area is primarily influenced by cultural factors. The Sahebganj area lies in the western part or now in the middle of the township. This is comparatively open area where administrative educational and newly built up residential colonies have been developed. The tendency of developing along the axial roads out of the inner core area has been marked recently and this has caused the north - west expansion of the urban areas. South portion is restricted by Brahmayoni hills and also due to the military cantonment.
The special characteristic of Gaya besides hills are tanks, temples, dharmashalas and educational institutions. The locality finds its location in the water scarcity zone and hence water paucity becomes acute during summer. The town is polluted due to heaps of garbages, chocked drains, and haphazard urban fashions. All needs urban planning to make the town more sustainable

BAL RAJ SINGH Vs STATE OF HARYANA Crl Misc 44627 M of 2006IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT
Bal Raj Singh ...PETITIONER
State of Haryana ...RESPONDENT

Mr.M.S.Sindhu, DAG, Haryana.

I have heard the counsel for the parties and gone through the
contents of the FIR.
This order be read in continuation of the earlier order dated

KARAMJITVsSTATE OF PUNJABIN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT
Criminal Revision No.1420 of 2009
Date of decision: 16.12.2009.
Karamjit ....Petitioner
State of Punjab ...Respondents
Mr. G.S.Sandhu, Advocate for the petitioner
Mr. Arshvinder Singh, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab
The prosecution had filed a plea under Section 311 Cr.P.C. for the summoning of two witnesses (ASI Jasvir Singh and Assistant Incharge, Magadh University, Bodh Gaya, Bihar). The presence of the former was required to prove the FIR; whereas the testimony of the latter was required to prove the forged character of the Detail Marks Card and other documentation purporting to have been issued by the Magadh University.
The learned Trial Magistrate allowed the former part of the request. It is presently common ground that the statement of ASI Jasvir Singh already stands recorded.
The petitioner-accused has filed the present petition to challenge the other part of the request which was allowed by the learned Trial Magistrate.
The only plea raised on behalf of the petitioner is that the allowance of the request allows the prosecution to fill up the lacuna which has appeared in the prosecution presentation. The further averment is that the examination of Assistant Incharge, Magadh University, Bodh Gaya
would be meaningless as no statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. of the
aforesaid witness came to be recorded.
It is apparent from the prosecution allegation that the recordbased testimony of Assistant Incharge, Magadh University, Bodh Gayal would be the mainstay of the prosecution allegation. The fact that no statement of his came to be recorded by the Police under Section 161 CR.P.C. could be assailed by the petitioner at the trial and it will be for the learned Trial Court to examine the effect thereof. It cannot be said, with any justification, that the endeavour made by the prosecution is to fill up the lacuna particularly when the prosecution case had not concluded by the time the plea under Section 311 Cr.P.C. came to be filed.
Faced with the predicament aforementioned, learned counsel for the petitioner has a feeling that allowance of the plea may enable the prosecution to delay disposal of the trial for an indefinite period, particularly when the trial has started in the year 2003.
In the light of the foregoing discussion, the petition shall stand dismissed.
However, the prosecution shall have one month time (with effect from the next date of hearing before the learned Trial Court) within which time it will produce Assistant Incharge, Magadh University, Bodh Gaya. It will be open to the prosecution to avail of any number of adjournments within that one month period to be able to produce that witness. Ofcourse, the prosecution shall be entitled to obtain the assistance of the Court in the form of issuance of summons etc. to obtain the presence of witness aforementioned.
Disposed of accordingly.
Magadh University figures among top 20 varsities in IndiaThe Magadh University in Bodh Gaya has figured in the list of top 20 universities of the country prepared by a private market research agency, Vice Chancellor of the University Arun Kumar said on Tuesday.. The Indian Council of Marketing Research (ICMR), in its latest survey of the higher educational institutions across the country, has placed Magadh University in the 17h slot among the list of 20, Kumar said.
This has become possible because of sincere efforts made to streamlining the academic calender, improvement of infrastructure and upgradation of colleges, he said.Additions in new courses and the research and development works undertaken recently by the university scholars and the teachers added new dimension to the higher studies, he said.
All the credit goes to the university teachers and staff, the VC said adding the university has introduced semester system for the first time in Bihar.
We have also introduced e-governance that has further ensured administrative transparency, he said.
Students to hold protest at Thapar UniversityDemanding restoration of domicile quota for Punjab students, several students unions plan to hold a protest march in front of Thapar University in Patiala on Tuesday.The students from across the state would participate in the protest. Meanwhile, members of Punjab Students Union (PSU), Students Federation of India (SFI) and All India Students Federation held a joint meeting at Nehru Park near local bus stand on Monday.
Terming the TU decision unhealthy for aspiring engineers from the state, PSU state secretary Beant Singh said that the university management was playing with the careers of students preparing for All India Engineering Entrance Examination
(AIEEE) to get admission in one of the premier institutes across the country.
The unfair decision taken by university authorities were the signs of privatisation and commercialisation in the education system proving fatal for the students fraternity, he said.Meanwhile, SFI president Lovedeep Sharma demanded that the state government intervene in the matter and pressure the TU management to roll back the decision with immediate effect.It is duty of government authorities to intervene and pressure university management against the decision, he said.
The students union also threatened to intensify their stir if the management failed to take back their decision.
Right to information move against Magadh University vice-chancellorPATNA: Former member of Bihar Public Service Commission and Patna University English teacher Shiv Jatan Thakur has sought from the chancellor an action taken report on his public petition submitted on March 20 this year for the removal of the vice-chancellor of Magadh University.
In an application submitted to the chancellor under RTI, Thakur pointed out that it is obligatory for the chancellor under section 9 (2) of the Bihar State Universities Act, 1976 to inquire or cause inquiry to be made by any agency in his discretion on a public petition as the law presumes that wilful protection of corruption despite substantive material on record manifestly constitutes cognizable offence for the public servant.
Earlier, citing instances of corruption, he had pointed out that MU vice-chancellor has appointed 21 college principals in blatant violation of the provision of the Bihar State Universities Act without the approval of the requisite number of members of the Selection Committee. He had observed that the continuance of the VC in office was prejudicial to the academic interest of the university and urged the chancellor to bring him to book under the provision of the Prevention of Corruption Act,1988.

Work in full swing on Rs 2cr Magadh University auditoriumPATNA: Construction work on the state-of-art auditorium is going on in full swing on the sprawling Magadh University (MU) campus at Bodh Gaya. This project will be completed at an estimated cost of about Rs 2 crore.
MU officiating VC Arun Kumar said the auditorium, having a sitting capacity of 560, would facilitate holding of national seminars, conferences and meetings. Efforts are on to complete it on a priority basis. Special care is being taken to maintain quality of work, he said.
magadh university the members of the selection committeePATNA: The Patna high court on Thursday issued notices to 21 principals of Magadh University (MU) and the members of the selection committee who had selected them. The order was passed by a single bench of the court presided over by Justice Jayanandan Singh on a writ filed by Arun Kumar Sinha and others.
In his petition, Sinha had challenged the appointment of these principals on the ground that that they were appointed in violation of the established norms. Sinhas advocate Sunil Kumar Singh said, Appointments of these 21 principals were made on March 2, 2012. This was challenged by the petitioner who termed the appointments as illegal. The court was informed that the committee constituted for the appointment was not in consonance with the statute of the Bihar Universities Act, 1976.
Singh said the court was also informed that no panel had been prepared for the appointments. The MU vice chancellor (VC) had filed a false affidavit in the Supreme Court on the basis of which the appointments were made, he said, adding that the VC had filed an affidavit stating therein that five members, including two experts, were in the panel for the appointments, whereas, in fact, the two experts never signed the selection committee list, thereby making the list legally questionable.
The HC on Thursday also directed the state government and the MU authorities to state as to what happened to the inquiry conducted by the I C Kumar Committee into the matter. It may be recalled that an inquiry committee headed by Kumar, a retired IAS officer, had probed the alleged manipulation in the preparation of the panel for the said appointments.
Incidentally, the varsity had earlier claimed that nothing was found amiss during the inquiry. However, this was found to be in contradiction to Kumars statement, who earlier said that prima facie, doubtful cases had surfaced during the inquiry. The court on Thursday held that the appointments were subject to the outcome of the inquiry carried out by the committee. The committee is yet to submit its report.
It may be mentioned here that a former member of the committee, Shiv Jatan Thakur, had charged MU officiating VC Arun Kumar with appointing inferior candidates as MU principals. He had also written a letter to governor-cum-chancellor Devanand Konwar alleging that the VC had not followed the legal protocol in the appointments.
Inter exam evaluation work raises eyebrowsPATNA: Evaluation of answer-books of Intermediate examinations 2012 is going on at about 59 centres across the state. About a dozen such centres are located in Patna mostly in constituent colleges of Magadh University (MU). The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) appoints head examiners and co-examiners in all subjects.
Several senior teachers engaged in the evaluation work feel most of the co-examiners appointed this time are either not the subject teachers or not familiar with their subjects. It seems the BSEB has thrown all norms to the wind in appointing co-examiners in English. Several co-examiners are completely unaware of the evaluation norms. Needles to say about their evaluation capabilities, a senior teacher of B D College said. He said that in a paper of 50 marks (English) a co-examiner had awarded 54 marks. Luckily, it was timely detected by the head examiner and the error was rectified, he said. Similarly, a few co-examiners always appear to be in a hurry while evaluating answer-books. A co-examiner instead of thoroughly evaluating answer-books, adopted a novel method to post marks on the flap of the answer-books only. Though the guilty co-examiner was issued stern warning, it spoke volume of co-examiners appointed by the BSEB, senior teachers said.
Justifying the need to select experienced teachers for evaluation work, a senior English teacher said, I wanted to bang my head against the wall when my co-examiner awarded full marks for a wrong answer. To top it all, simile had become smile for him and fetched full marks to the examinee concerned, he said.
A few co-examiners, who belong to affiliated colleges, said that they earn money from evaluation works. They hardly get salaries as teachers of the affiliated and proposed colleges. Thus, it is money that matters for them instead of maintaining standard of evaluation work, they remarked.
According to BSEB chairman Rajmani Prasad, a panel of senior teachers from different constituent colleges had prepared the list of head examiners and co-examiners this time. It is really unfortunate that most of senior teachers from constituent colleges do not bother to associate themselves with the Intermediate exam answer-books evaluation work, he said and added the BSEB would not compromise on the quality of evaluation work.
Prasad said that he himself had been visiting evaluation centres to check evaluation work across the state. I would personally look into the matter if any compliant about any co-examiner or any other discrepancy is brought to my knowledge by the centre director, he said.
Herbal Chemistry faculty to come up in Patna University soonPatna: New Post-graduate faculty on Herbal Chemistry is coming up in Patna University which was being run from the PG Department of Magadha University till recently.
The decision to this effect was taken in the academic council meeting of Patna University on Thursday. A number of important decisions were also taken in the meeting.
In this regard Dr Shambu Nath Singh, VC, Patna University said that it was decided in the meeting that an expert committee would take interview of 2003 batch of college teachers to decide their promotion. He further said that semester system will be introduced in PG from the next academic session. However, it will not be introduced on graduate level for the time being.
Also there was a consensus among most teachers to introduce an entrance test for seeking admission in graduate and post graduate courses. However, any decision in this regard will be taken after an admission regulation is introduced. Among other things which were decided in the meeting was to start a separate PG faculty on the lines of Herbal Chemistry.
Due consideration will be given if a proposal comes in this regard in near future , said Vice-Chancellor Singh.
Presently the department is being run under the Botany faculty of the University. The University has also got permission to start Bio -Informatics course from the academic session 2012-13.Also permission was given to old registration cases. Principal Dr Doris DSouza Patna womenscollege has sought 15 days time to decide upon fees for vocational courses in her college.
The meeting was chaired by the Vice -Chancellor Patna University while heads of a number of faculties including heads of various departments and Registrar Patna University took part in this meeting.
Magadh University exam affected at B S College centrePATNA: The ongoing degree-level examination of Magadh University (MU) has been affected at B S College, Danapur, due to the Patna district administrations decision to convert the college campus into a strong room and counting centre for the Nagar Parishad elections which would continue till May 22.
According to college principal Pravin Kumar, the college is currently holding degree (honours) level examination for Part II. A large number of examinees, mostly girls, are taking the examination at this centre. The college has few rooms and halls to conduct the examination. However, the district administration has started putting up barricades on the college campus, thereby causing much difficulty in holding the examination peacefully, he said.
Kumar said it was very difficult for the college to hold the examination in open on Saturday after the district administration occupied few rooms. As a result, at least five women examinees fainted in the sultry weather condition. They were immediately rushed to a local clinic for medical treatment, he said.
The principal said he had urged the district administration to make arrangements to hold the elections this time on the sprawling campus of a Danapur-based government school to enable the college hold the examination peacefully.
Magadh University to build Rs 100-crore media centrePATNA-GAYA: Magadh University (MU) has decided to build a media centre on its campus at Bodh Gaya at a cost of about Rs 100 crore. The centre would help impart teaching in journalism and mass communication as well as prepare documentaries on e-classes and tourism, MU acting VC Arun Kumar said.
According to Kumar, the media centre would be a state-of-the-art establishment equipped with latest technology and tools of media and mass communication. The UGC has agreed to provide financial assistance for it, he said, adding the details are being worked out by a team of experts.
Land for college: The state government has registered about 25 decimal land in the name of B D College, Patna, for its expansion. The registered land, located close to the college campus, has two dilapidated quarters of the water resources department pool. The college would now find it easy to expand its campus for academic purposes, said college principal B N Ojha.

My business partner Justin Ton, creator of the 1/6th scale Samus action figure, will be tackling this project and has already started with a almost completed helmet done and more to come(As seen in the picture I posted). We will be working together to complete this epic endeavor and the suit will be vacuum-formed and made of styrene. My question is how should I go about painting this? I know some people are working on large scale projects or have completed some before so that's why I ask. It will need to be pretty damn durable so I am thinking should I treat it like a car paint job(I am assuming this is the strongest choice)? It will also have a super, super high gloss finish that I am assuming will have to be mixed or heat cured? [att]243618660[/att] When done along with lots of surprise features that will be kept secret for now. So any ideas or links would be appreciated. Thanks Radicons!

-The 3 Highland Pleasures books I read (Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage, The Many Sins of Lord Cameron and The Duke's Perfect Wife) only made me more obsessed with Jennifer Ashley as I read one after the other. I still have a major hangover from her writing. Seriously, I only want to read to Jennifer Ashley. I'm OBSESSED.
-Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay is an awesome, awesome, AWESOME retelling!
Other things Racquel did:
Like Sharon, I watched a crap ton of television. First, I watched Scandal. Twice. WHAT?! I watched it all in like three days. Really, three days. I stayed up until 5 in the morning when I was supposed to write a paper and watched it. Then I told my sister about how great it is and forced her to watch it so I ended up rewatching it all with her. Y'all, Scandal is good.
Next, I watched Orphan Black. Oh. My. God. So far, only one season aired and it's 10 episodes long so it only took me a day to watch but Oh. My. God. It's so so so so so so so good. It's about clones and Tatiana Maslany legit plays 6 different people on the show and gives each one a personality. I forget that each person is actually one actor, that's how good she is. SHE IS SERIOUSLY AMAZING. Orphan Black is easily one of my new favorite shows and I cannot wait until season 2 which airs in April.
|HOW ARE YOU NOT AMAZED? 6 different people, one actress!

Where Two Blog Posts Collide ~ Part One
We still had tons of boxes in the basement aka my sewing room. Guess who likes to hide under boxes? Yep ~ saw several of them under the boxes, some stuck to the underside of the tape. I'm not a fan of bugs of any sort really but these things really really creep me out. They can jump up to 10 feet. The good news is they don't see very well. The bad news is that they jump TOWARDS a perceived enemy.
I've done some research on these nasty insects and it says they are harmless. Now, if one of these things jump on me and I have a heart attack ~ are they really harmless? I think not!
I was on a mission to get rid of these things. My first mistake was looking up info on them. I ended up on a discussion board reading hundreds of horror stories about these things. Talk about nightmares! The advice I read ran from bug bombs, sprays, sticky pads, and the ever popular Bugzooka. Actually Richard ordered me a Bugzooka but it's going back ~ you pretty much have to get right on top of the damn bug to "humanely" catch it. First of all, I'm not getting that close to one of these things and secondly I really don't give a crap about being humane! There was also something about some weird fruit that naturally repels them but I had never heard of that. I did consider a cat though. Says cat's love to eat them ~ eww!
So off to the store I went. I bought bug bombs ~ yes bombS. I got spray for the outside of the house that says it kills both spiders and crickets so killing spider crickets should be no problem. Got some sticky pads too. Guy at the store said I looked like I was ready for battle.
The bug bombs worked really really well ~ but it was a bit disturbing finding upwards of 20 dead crickets. We also sprayed around the house and put out the sticky traps. Unfortunately a little over a week later we started finding a few again. In the mean time I got rid of all the boxes in the basement ~ felt good to get them unpacked ~ less places for those demons to hide too. We think they are coming in from one of the windows so we put lots of sticky pads in the window and it seems to be working for now.
I've actually started sewing again in the basement ~ without fear of being jumped on. And the good news is, I haven't seen a cricket in a couple of weeks now.. wanna know how we did it? You'll have to tune in for the next blog post to find out!

Barb, get Nate to catch a little toad for you and put him in the basement. He will get very fat, but your crickets will disappear.
My mother had one she was so fond of she named him "Homer." But no crickets, no BUGS of any kind as long as Homer patrolled the basement. So there's a little tip from Nate's Great Grandmother Hazel.

Make an easy, textured homemade name puzzle! It's a fun way to help your child to learn to spell his or her name, and to aid letter and name recognition!
Every September, I make these easy homemade name puzzles for kids in my daycare. Playing with their name puzzles is a great way for the preschoolers to focus on letter and name recognition without it feeling like "work".
To a child, the most important word in the whole, wide world is his or her name, and there's no greater pride for kids than learning to recognize and spell their name.
Name recognition usually begins with a child learning which letter their name starts with. Sometime later, a child will learn to identify other letters in their name, and before long, they know which order the letters go in to spell their name correctly.
By the time school starts, a child is expected to know how to recognize and spell his or her name, which is why, in the year before kindergarten, I make these name puzzles for each of my preschoolers.
We know that children learn best when several of their senses are engaged, so I like to use textured, patterned wallpaper samples when I'm making a name puzzle. I cut each letter from a different sample of wallpaper. This patterns and colours of the paper add visual interest and the different textures of the paper add a sensory element to the activity.
Wall paper samples are great in the kids' craft room! Use them for any crafts that you'd normally use scrapbook paper. Wall paper is much sturdier and less likely to rip than scrapbook paper is.
Where can you get a wallpaper sample book?
Getting your hands on a wallpaper sample book is as easy as asking at your local paint and wallpaper store. They often have outdated wallpaper sample books that they're happy to part with. I love books with heavily textured samples in them. Some are puffy and bumpy. Some feel like suede or tweed. You can get all kinds of patterns and colours, and I think that really helps to identify with and remember their letters.
What can you use instead of wall paper samples?
Construction paper, scrapbook paper, fabric or card stock can also add colour and interest to your puzzle pieces.
Making your name puzzle:
To make your name puzzle, simply cut out the letters of your child's name to trace onto your coloured paper. I drew my letter free-hand but if you'd rather use a template, you can visit Quality-Kids-Crafts.com and print your letters off.
Once you have your letters cut out, glue them to a sturdy piece of cardboard (like a cereal box), leaving a generous amount of space between each letter. Then cut the letters apart in "jigsaw" fashion.
Now, hand the puzzle over to your little one and let them have some fun, piecing their name together. I love watching the Hooligans try to figure their puzzles out the first time. There's lots of twisting and turning and re-arranging of letters. The second time is usually a bit easier, and by the time they've done their puzzle a half dozen times or so, they're old pros!

Our Derby KS vet clinic deals with all types of animals including dogs, cats, and birds. We advise patients to bring their pet to see our vet once per year.
During your visit, our vet will conduct a visual analysis of your pet's body to look for any peculiar lumps, or for any mites, fleas and other parasites. We will also check your pet's heart and lungs. If our test shows any indication of problems, we may conduct further testing. Lastly, we will also examine your pet's teeth for any dental health problems such as an abscess or gum disease.
At El Paso Animal Hospital, we will conduct a blood test as well to examine your pet's blood sugar, electrolytes, cell count, and other nutrient amounts to determine if your pet has diabetes or a nutrient deficiency. Certain nutrient deficiencies can indicate issues with your pet's liver such as infections, and immune deficiencies.
Once we perform all the necessary tests, we might recommend methods to prevent complications such as diet modifications and lifestyle changes. We may prescribe medication or other treatment to help your pet back on a healthy track. We also may need to schedule treatment and recommend regular evaluations to monitor the condition. If the problem is out of our scope of practice, we will recommend a specialist who can treat your pet.
Benefits of Regular Exams
We recommend your pet receives regular exams to catch any illnesses in the early stages. The sooner an illness is detected, the sooner we can start treatment or implement preventative measures to keep your pet healthy. Keep in mind, however, not every serious condition has obvious symptoms. Issues could be occurring in your pet that isn't causing symptoms early so it is vital for your pet to receive routine testing and screenings.
Coming into El Paso Animal Hospital in Derby on a regular schedule allows us to ensure your pet is always up-to-date on vaccinations and preventing them from contracting many serious diseases. Early detection may save you money as well. Once a problem escalates, the treatment may become more and more expensive when it's left untreated. Routine screenings and testing are essential to help your pet live a longer and healthier life.

The Fibonacci number sequence and golden ratio can be found in nature and traders such committees have applied this theory in the financial markets and were able to achieve millions of dollars by using this unique tool as part of their trading method.
Serial numbers Fibonacci golden ratio is used by many savvy traders today, because this let's take a look on how to make huge profits by using this method in all financial markets.
Support and resistance levels are crucial for all traders as they help identify entry and exit points during trading.
"Bounce" ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio is considered innovative and useful tool for any trader, then why are these big interest.
let's see .
The application of Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio in trade
Fibonacci sequence was printed in the book "Libre Apache," which was written for Fibonacci in the year 1202. In this book the Fibonacci for the first time to provide the Indian numbers – Arabic to Europe, where he replaced the Romanian figures.
Fibonacci sequence numbers based on the following equation:
How many pairs of rabbits that produced from a single pair, if the production of a new pair Each pair since the second month, the production will begin the largest number of pairs of rabbits?
While it is using serial numbers Fibonacci golden ratio to solve this equation.
The result is explained below:
Sequential numerical produced are of great importance in all parts of the world of nature.
After the first few numbers in the sequence, the rate for any number to the next higher number is approximately 0.618 and for the lower number is 1.618.
These figures are known as the golden mean or golden ratio.
Golden Ratio Golden average
These figures are interesting for us as can be seen in several areas, such as biology, art, music, weather and creatures and even architecture.
Examples of the natural things deliberate on the golden ratio:
Missiles and spiral galaxies, hurricanes, DNA molecules, sunflowers and other things in nature.
Retracement levels
Percentages of Corrections Fibonacci levels, which is the most important by traders are: 38.2% and 62.8%.
The other to bounce percentages which followed in importance are the 75%, 50% and 33%.
So how it is used by traders?
Well, there are three main advantages are:
1. Fibonacci numbers define exit points
If met three or more of the Fibonacci levels together-price, the stop loss point can be placed higher that the area where the points to the importance of this region both as a support or resistance.
Stop-loss limits using Fibonacci corrections allow traders to set pre-defined exit points, and then they can get out of the market if their accounts were wrong.
This method will help them in trading in an orderly manner and then maintain their capital, which is is central for all traders.
2. Fibonacci levels can determine the volume
Based on a risk-wants to be borne by rolling in his trade, the Fibonacci numbers can determine the volume of trading is, who should be taken depending on the degree of risk they wish to carry around stores in size.
Simplistically, this is because the monetary loss per trading center vary according to these centers that have been opened in the market.
Stop loss near a support or resistance lines point may mean that the trading center, which will open it could have been bigger than the last trading limits are stopping far from the support and resistance lines loss center.
Consequently, traders can report on the trade volume within the framework of capital management rules very easily once they have to put a specific exit points.
3. Fibonacci numbers and profit in every trade
Using Fibonacci numbers, once the formation of a technical models completed in exchange for Fibonacci zone-price, the trader can use these levels to book some profits.
This signal about how far this can go to profits traders booked profits at specified levels.
Sequential Fibonacci numbers advantage is that they are predictive tool: and then they allow traders that have limits on stop loss and take profit targets in advance:
Traders can use this method whether to book profits or reduce losses to the minimum alone, which is essential to make a profit in the near term.
Jean Fibonacci sequence used for this purpose which is further evidence of the important tools to help all traders.
One of the key factors for the success of trade in any market is discipline:
To reduce losses and increase profits and long-term win, you must be traded without the influence of emotions.
Jean was familiar with this matter and all traders now know that emotions may spoil their business plan and we can say that the serial numbers Fibonacci help rolling to stay disciplined.
Is it useful?
Jean realized that the use of Fibonacci numbers to make huge profits and reduce losses while trading, and then succeeded in using them to achieve enormous wealth estimated at more than $ 50 million.
Fibonacci numbers are useful but should be used as part of a general trading and commissions on a plan, for example not only it depends on them where he had another series of innovative tools that mix to achieve amazing profits.
He was one of the most successful traders in history and legend survived so far, many of the skilled traders around the world are still using methods in trade
Then access to these methods and you will be happy you did it.
Not only because they are characterized by innovation, but also they will give you more likely to make a profit which we all seek the mechanism of Traders.

Natural wonder – Oats
Kick-start your day with a low-calorie, energy giving breakfast to take you through your hectic morning schedule!
Oats and its nutrients:
Oats is a species of cereal grain grown for its seed. High in fibre, while oats are primarily used as livestock feed, it is suitable for human consumption in the form of oatmeal and rolled oats. This grain gains its distinctive flavour from the roasting process it undergoes after it's harvested and cleaned. This process, however, does not strip it off its fibre and other nutrients.
Oats are high in magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, selenium, magnesium and zinc. It's a good source of carbohydrates and proteins; in addition it is high in dietary fibre content and is also low fat.
Health benefits of oats:
Lowers cholesterol: One of the biggest known benefits of oats is its cholesterol lowering properties. Oats contain a soluble fibre called beta-glucans. This soluble fibre helps reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) and thereby cuts risk of heart disease. One study indicates that a bowl of oatmeal daily reduces risk of cardiovascular disease by 10%.
Reduces high blood sugar: Oats has a low-glycaemic index and contains high amounts of fibre, which helps normalise sugar spikes. Type 2 diabetes patients can benefit tremendously by eating oats daily.
Reduces weight: The soluble fibre in oats forms a gel when digested. This increases the viscosity in the small intestine and stomach, leaving one feeling fuller for longer thus aiding weight loss. In addition to that oats is a low-fat food making it ideal for weight loss.
Boosts immunity: Selenium and vitamin-E present in oats strengthens the immune system aiding its fight against infections. Oats also cinatins zinc, which helps heal wounds and growth of new cells.
Improves digestion: The high fibre content in oats makes it an ideal food for those suffering from constipation, colitis and other digestive problems.
Reduces risk of cancer: Phytochemicals present in oats help prevent cancer, especially breast and colon cancer.
Strengthens bones: Oats are rich in calcium, phosphorous and magnesium which helps strengthen bones and cut risk of osteoporosis.
Good for skin: Oatmeal makes for a good skin exfoliator. It also helps heal dry and flaky skin, eczema and other skin conditions.
Energy giver: Oats has a high carbohydrate content, which it makes it an excellent source of energy. Other nutrients such as phosphorus, vitamin-B, magnesium and iron — all of which help in energy production.

The finished structure assures that the condos will not be overwhelmingly tall and dense from the sidewalk, with a 12-story tower set back from the street and two street side low-rise portions. The three buildings are joined by a two-story lobby and upper-level amenity terrace. A landscaped entry courtyard separates the four- and five-story portions.

Men shop later at Christmas, bargain less and spend their dollars in expensive stores, new research shows.
Data from the Australian National Retailers Association (ANRA) shows 9.7 per cent of men expect to wrap up their shopping on Christmas Eve, compared to only 3.6 per cent of women.
Four per cent of men say they only complete their shopping a day later at the Boxing Say sales.
Less than one per cent of women do most of their shopping on Christmas Eve while 2.4 per cent of men make a mad dash at the last minute.
"This means they are also more likely to miss out on savvy shopper offers like the toy sales in July as they are also less inclined to lay-by goods," says ANRA CEO Margy Osmond.
The survey of 1000 Aussie men and women also shows only 16 per cent of men buy gifts through the year while almost a quarter of women do.
"It could be a matter of who is doing most of the Christmas shopping or who is managing the family budget, but men and women think about the season of giving very differently and men seem to think about it at the last minute," Ms Osmond said.
She said that men also happily shop at a department store rather than a discount store and choose to buy from a shop even when they know there is a better offer down the road.
Women on the other hand take a much more structured approach.
"A quarter shop through the year, and 23 per cent do most of their Christmas shopping four to six weeks ahead of the big day," Ms Osmond said.

OpenSuse with KDE: changing the login theme does not work
I have a system which runs on OpenSuse 12.1 with KDE. I tried changing the default Green login theme of it. I went to "System Settings > Login Screen > Themes". There are 5 default themes installed with the OS. I tried selecting a different theme and applying it. But, i did not reflect even after restarting the machine. I am still getting the default Green login theme. I tried several times with different themes, but of no use.
So, how do I change the login theme here? Is it a bug in the release or is it disabled for some reason?
You have to be root to change that, I don't know why. Run:
I tried,
that has been a issue for some time
but as i recall , you will have to manually rewrite the boot initrd to change it

Raising Arizona: Second Circuit Finds Statement Against Interest Was Properly Admitted To Prove Interstate Component Of Hobbs Act Violation
The Hobbs Act, 18 U.S.C. Section 1951(a), provides that
Whoever in any way or degree obstructs, delays, or affects commerce or the movement of any article or commodity in commerce, by robbery or extortion or attempts or conspires so to do, or commits or threatens physical violence to any person or property in furtherance of a plan or purpose to do anything in violation of this section shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
Usually, the fact that a defendant was charged with violating the Hobbs Act would not play a factor in an evidentiary ruling. But the fact that the defendants were charged with violating the Act possibly played a large role in an evidentiry ruling in United States v. White, 2010 WL 1461645 (2nd Cir. 2010).
In White, O'Kene White and Antonio Scott were convicted of conspiracy to commit and attempted robbery in violation of the Hobbs Act, attempted possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and possession and discharge of firearms during and in furtherance of the charged crimes. One of the victims of the attempted robbery was Christopher Farquharson, a/k/a "Blacks," and
Stacy Roberts, Blacks's girlfriend and one of the victims of defendants' robbery attempt, testified, inter alia, that defendants had asked her, "where's Blacks's stuff," and that Blacks had told her that he bought and sold two types of marijuana: "regular" and "Arizona." Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Craig Phildius testified that "Arizona" marijuana is grown in Mexico (and to a lesser degree in Arizona) and shipped through Arizona, and that "regular" marijuana is also grown primarily in Mexico.
The district court allowed for the admissio of Roberts' testimony, finding that Blacks' statement qualified as a statement against penal interest under Federal Rule of Evidence 804(b)(3). Among other things, this ruling led to the defendants' appeal, with the defendants claiming that the probative value of Blacks' statement was substantiall outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice under Federal Rule of Evidence 403. The Second Circuit, however, did not address this argument in great detail, finding that Blacks' statement was relevant to proving that defendants' robbery would have had the requisite "slight, subtle or even potential" impact on interstate commerce necessary to prove a violation of the Hobbs Act.

The Nature Conservancy in Belize
Rio Bravo Climate Action Project. The Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area is situated in the Maya Forest.
The Rio Bravo climate action project involves the conservation and sustainable management of more than 51,000 acres of forest in northwest Belize.
It is estimated that the project will sequester and avoid the emission of significant amounts of carbon dioxide over 40 years by preventing deforestation and instituting sustainable forest management.
The project was one of the first fully funded forest-sector projects implemented and accepted under the U.S. Initiative on Joint Implementation on February 3, 1995. It is taking place at the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area, 260,000 acres of mixed lowland, moist sub-tropical broadleaf forest.
Programme for Belize, the Nature Conservancy's partner organization in Belize, manages the project and private reserve overall. A number of energy producers provided $5.6 million in funding for the first 10 years of the 40-year project.
The next 30 years will be sustained by proceeds from sustainable timber extraction under Programme for Belize's management and interest from the project endowment. Investors include Canadian Occidental Petroleum Ltd. (now Nexen Inc.), Cinergy (now Duke Power), Detroit Edison (now DTE Energy), Nexen, PacifiCorp, Suncor Energy Inc., Utilitree Carbon Company and Wisconsin Electric Power Company (now WE Energies).
Conservation Significance
The Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area is situated amid the biologically rich Maya Forest. It is also part of a million-acre corridor that is key to biodiversity conservation in Central America and one of the Conservancy's top conservation priorities. The area is home to the endangered black howler monkey and jaguar, numerous migratory birds, and mahogany and other important tree species. It contains forest cover types protected nowhere else in Belize.
The project site was under imminent threat of conversion to agriculture. Studies undertaken before the project began indicated that without further protection, up to 90 percent of the forest cover would have been converted to agricultural use.
Net Carbon Benefits
The project will sequester and avoid the emission of millions of tons of carbon dioxide through two primary approaches:
Prevention of deforestation: Programme for Belize purchased 51,000 acres of upland forest and added it to the existing protected area.
Sustainable forest management and regeneration: A combination of improved timber operations and ecosystem management practices are being used. Management practices include creation of expanded protected areas and undisturbed buffer zones, use of reduced-impact harvesting techniques, biomass enhancement and increased fire management and site security.
A Model Project
The Rio Bravo Carbon Sequestration Pilot Project, one of several spearheaded by the Conservancy and its partners, is a model project demonstrating how saving forests is part of the solution to climate change. The benefits include:
- Permanence Long-term finance mechanisms, including establishment of an endowment fund, will help to support the project beyond its initial funding. Control of fire and illegal wood harvesting in the project area are helping reduce unintended loss of forest and new emissions of carbon dioxide.
- Additionality The carbon benefits are clearly additional to what would have occurred without the project. Other parties would have purchased the newly acquired land and converted it to agricultural production. Also, the land now under the natural forest management plan would have been logged under customary practices.
- Avoiding leakage With a sound strategy in place for monitoring and mitigating any carbon leakage, the Rio Bravo project ensures that carbon benefits achieved within the project boundaries are not negated by actions elsewhere as a result of the project.

Sanctioned Encampments
Those living unsheltered in the homeless community in Santa Clara County are continually displaced through abatement processes performed by various public agencies.
This process causes many to lose personal belongings and prevents them from establishing a stable foundation by which to obtain permanent housing, employment and other personal goals.
The immediate solution would be the city and county government to leverage public lands to create safe, secure, clean environments with services attached for people to live until permanent housing solutions become available.

CAMPAIGN STATUS: WE Will Continue into 2017
Although we have won incremental housing built, it has not been enough to secure housing for all. Though Evan's Lane is now providing SRO living for some experiencing homelessness, it has not met the ned of the more then 2,000 people living in the street in San Jose. In 2017, we are continuing our City and County efforts to provide safe, secure, and sanitary environments for all in or region.
August 2014: Advocates rally to prevent the closing of "The Jungle", a homeless encampment thought to be populated by, conservatively, more than 380 people.
August-December 2014: Advocates lobby City of San Jose to stave off closing of The Jungle. City refuses to reconsider, opting instead to make the incremental effort of providing just 200 housing subsidies to various contractors, in order to save face come the December 4th closing.
December 4, 2016: After three straight days of continuous rain, the City of San Jose in conjunction with SJPD and the Santa Clara Valley Water District begin dismantling The Jungle; a destruction and displacement of people and property.
February 2015: The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors unanimously vote to form a County Task Force charged with focusing on solutions to the immediate housing needs of the more than 7,000 homeless families and individuals across Santa Clara County.
April-November 2015: The "Housing" Task Force meet monthly to explore the myriad of issues facing people experiencing homelessness. From the agencies that provide services to this vulnerable community to the government institutions that initiate and monitor these programs: from advocates and people experiencing homelessness themselves, many voices are present and solutions are from all sides are explored.
October 2015: The Housing Task Force agrees on a list of nine recommendations to be forwarded to the SCC Board of Supervisors for its' approval. Among them is a recommendation to create "Temporary and Permanent Housing Programs Using Unconventional Facilities and Structures". This vague terminology leads many to assume that "sanctioned campgrounds" are included in this recommendation.
November 2015-January 2016: Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors and San Jose City Council resolve to work together on many of the resolutions approved by the Board of Supervisors, including "Temporary and Permanent Housing Programs Using Unconventional Facilities and Structures"
January 2016: City of San Jose moves forward with plans to develop City owned site on Evans Lane. This project would place modular-type structures with 6-7 Single Room Occupancy modeled bedrooms. This project would accommodate 102 people. Advocates feel that while this concept is worthwhile, it is still incremental and still continue to push local government for more development likes these and sanctioned campsites.
August 2016: Amid much community resistance, San Jose City Council approve the Evans Lane project by a vote of 8-3. Advocates feel that while this concept is worthwhile, it is still incremental and still continue to push local government for more developments likes these and sanctioned campsites as well.
