How to eliminate religion and caste system from society?
Hindu is the major religion of India, with over 79.8% of the population identifying themselves as Hindu, that accounts for roughly 97 crore (~ 1 billion) Hindus in India, while 14.2% of the population follow Islam –(first came to the western coast of India when Arab traders as early as the 7th century AD came to coastal Malabar) and the remaining 6% adhere to other religions (such as Christianity – introduced to India by Thomas the Apostle, in AD 52., Buddhism, Jainism and various indigenous ethnically-bound faiths
Basically to keep peace in society. all religions are based on same principals- God will rewards for good work and punish for bad work.
But today some spiritual, religious preacher or political leaders use religion and caste for their own purpose and benefit.
How caste system starts in India?
In India we have deep impact of granthas (holy books) in our life. If u ask someone how caste (Jati) system come in to existence? You may hear that brahma is the creator of universe and according to Rigveda Indian society was based on Brahma's divine manifestation of four groups. Priests and teachers were caste from his mouth, rulers and warriors from his arms, merchants and traders from his thighs, and workers and peasants from his feet.
What is caste?
Caste is word derived from Portuguese word "casta" — which means "race". Caste or jati are the classes according to hereditary structure. Today the term "caste" is used to describe stratified societies based on hereditary groups. In ancient time varnas are made according to occupation perform by the particular group of people. Like Brahmin will perform all spiritual works. Kshatriya will works as warriors, vaishya will do trading and kshudra will perform all cleaning related work and work related animal skins.
Today's position:
Thanks to Babasaheb Ambedkar, Shahu Maharaj, Jyotiba phule, Mahatma Gandhi and many more to bring equality in caste. Our education system is improved enough to eradicate such things. Nowadays Indian business and jobs are not limited to certain castes, Brahmin people own leather shops and dalit people owns hotels. vaishya people are fighting on Kashmir boarder. And Kshatriya are running trading business. Hindu and Muslim people both worship Sai Baba. Christian believe Jesus is son of God and In Muslims believe that Jesus is messenger of god. you will see thousands of cases of harmony in society. If someone met with an road accident, Tsunami, Earthquake, Flood. no one is bother to know that the person belongs to which religion or caste our main intention is to save life.
Still there are some cases of communal riots recorded all over India. How can same person convert in to killing machine at the time of riot?
- Who is benefited?
Some selfish preachers, politician and religious leader's shops are running on the castes and religious issues they don't want to adopt India as castles country.
Consider if constitution allows us choice of caste in society everyone wants to become Brahmin. But at the time of job everyone wants to become SC,ST, or OBC. If we need to eliminate caste discrimination we need to eliminate all caste based system.
How to eliminate caste system based discrimination?
- Media and publishing: In India media plays very important role in success of any movement. Media should decide not to publish any caste based advertise or news .
- No Surname or Family name: There should not be Surname or family name and religion on any of government or non-government form.
- Stop caste reservation: Now its time to stop caste based reservation and start fair reservation only in the education sector depending upon the economic position of the person of all caste and religion. to improve the skill and knowledge of person and to survive in competitive world. Its more than 125 years India is adopting caste based reservation system.
- from 1882 Shahu, the Maharaja of the princely state of Kolhapur, introduced reservation in favour of non-Brahmin and backward classes,
- In 1954, the Ministry of Education suggested that 20 per cent of places should be reserved for the SCs and STs in educational institutions with a provision to relax minimum qualifying marks for admission by 5 per cent wherever required.
- 1982, it was specified that 15 per cent and 7.5 per cent of vacancies in public sector and government-aided educational institutes should be reserved for the SC and ST candidates, respectively
1980 the commission's report recommended that a reserved quota for OBCs of 27 per cent should apply in respect of services and public sector bodies operated by the Union Government.
4)No religious holiday: Instead giving religious holiday. Arrange some small function in the office or schools for all staffs/ Students and their family's to celebrate together.
5)Ban on religious political group: To keep peace in society do not allow any religion influenced political party to take part in election.
6)Promote inter-caste marriage: stop caste based matrimonial site and promote inter-caste marriages.
7)Same rules and regulation for all citizen of India: There should be same rules and regulation for all the citizen of India regardless of religion and caste.

2017 VW Polo SUV
Volkswagen's range will be joined by the new 2017 VW Polo SUV. The model is currently under development and the concept version is yet to be revealed. Although the concept was originally expected to make its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, the automaker decided to reveal the VW T-ROC instead. This concept now serves as a preview of Volkswagen's future SUV design philosophy. Of course, we expect to see some of its features in the upcoming Polo SUV crossover.
2017 VW Polo SUV Design
So, the 2017 VW Polo SUV will be based on the regular VW Polo model. Its SUV version doesn't come as much of a surprise since the Polo is currently the best-selling model in VW's range. Of course, it is expected to lend many of its features to the brand new SUV version. For instance, the two vehicles will share the same VW MQB platform that underpins the current-generation Polo. As for its design, it is expected to incorporate most of the styling cues seen on the VW T-ROC and Cross Coupe Concept model. The MQB platform allows the length of 4,180 mm, which is 100 mm shorter than the VW Tiguan SUV. The exterior styling itself will mark a turning point when it comes to VW's design philosophy. The 2017 VW Polo SUV is expected to appear as a dynamic and attractive off-roader with its protruding wheel arches and other striking features. However, the new crossover will be made mostly for urban buyers.
The upcoming small SUV is expected to prove itself as a highly profitable model. Moreover, the very fact that VW intends to sell it on the US market, tells how high the company's expectations are when it comes to this new project. On the other hand, the German automaker won't have an easy task trying to design a vehicle equally appealing on both sides of the Atlantic ocean.
The Engine Options
We expect to see a broad engine lineup available under its hood, having in mind the fact that the model will be sold globally. VW will certainly need to offer a wide variety of engine options in order to fulfill the customer's expectations on various markets. Much of the company's effort will be focused on the fuel efficiency. It is speculated that the base VW Polo SUV is supposed to be powered by 1.0-liter and 2.0-liter TDI and TSI engines. These units should generate between 90 hp and 185 hp, while being paired with manual or automatic transmissions. Also, there will be a 7-speed transmission with double-clutch offered as an option. The range-topping model will come as the 2017 VW Polo R SUV. It is expected to adopt the engine that powers the VW Golf GTI model. It is a four-cylinder 2.2-liter unit that gives 220 hp. The R model will come with front-wheel drive as standard, while all-wheel drive should come optional.
2017 VW Polo SUV Price
Some of the greatest rivals to the new VW SUV will be the Nissan Juke, MINI Countryman and Opel Mokka. The 2017 VW Polo SUV will certainly be one of the most competitive models, at least when it comes to quality and performance. The official pricing strategy is yet to be revealed. Rumor has it that the upcoming Polo SUV should start around €20,000 in Europe. Unfortunately, its price on the US and other world markets is still unknown.

Backyard gardening was one of the summer activities that my neighbor Sally and I pursued with enthusiasm. Although we came from different backgrounds, we both had grown up in families where planting, tending, and harvesting vegetables were givens. During my childhood, I lived in a Boston neighborhood outside the core city in an aging Victorian home with a generous lot where my father and his siblings, children of Italian immigrants, diligently cultivated tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and other ingredients for our favorite family dishes. Sally, on the other hand, came from the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania. Her folks, too, were avid gardeners.
Sally and I pooled our knowledge and faithfully supported each other's gardening efforts. She shared my grief when a hungry woodchuck devoured my lettuce just as it was ready for harvesting. I lamented the passing of her strawberries, bedraggled victims of too much fertilizer. Sally helped me stake my tomatoes, and I passed on my uncle's advice about when to pick cucumbers so they would continue to produce after the first yield. Cucumbers were always my most successful crop; hers was zucchini.
We were always on the lookout for innovative recipes to use up our home-grown vegetables before they spoiled. I shared Aunt Annie's pesto and my in-laws' green tomato relish. Sally's specialities, not surprisingly, involved creative uses for zucchini. Her cookies and zucchini pizza were favorites among the neighborhood children, while her baked stuffed zucchini was more appealing to the adults. I have chosen to post Sally's Savory Zucchini Bread because it is a departure from the usual sweet version of zucchini bread, and it goes so well with summer barbecue main dishes.
The sorry condition of the original recipe card, written in Sally's own hand, is proof that the bread is a favorite, which I sometimes double so that I can share it with others. Here is a tidied up copy with a few minor alterations.
Sally's Savory Zucchini Bread
3 cups of flour 5 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of baking soda 1 tsp salt
1/3 cup of melted butter 1 cup of buttermilk (or 2 tbsp of vinegar with enough milk added to make 1 cup)
2 eggs 2 tbsp of grated onion
1/3 cup of sugar 1 cup of shredded zucchini 3 tbsp of grated Parmesan cheese
Sift the first four ingredients onto a piece of waxed paper. Mix the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and grated onion and stir to combine well. Pour about half of the sifted dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add the sugar, the shredded zucchini, and the Parmesan cheese. Mix lightly, then add the liquid ingredients, stir, and add the rest of the dry ingredients. Combine well, but do not beat. The mixture will seem a little dry. Pour or spoon into three small (5 3/4 x 3 1/4 x 2 inch) loaf pans that have been well coated with cooking spray and dusted with flour. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Alternately you may bake the mixture in a large loaf pan (9 x 5 x 3) for 55 to 60 minutes. Cool on a rack and serve warm as you would corn bread.

Solar Power House – Breaking the mythical $1/Watt price barrier
Breaking the $1/watt price barrier has been as mythical to the Solar Power House industry as breaking the 4 minute mile barrier in athletics. Until it was actually done in 1957, it was considered impossible, even fatally dangerous to the athletes attempting it. Here's how Sir Roger Bannister described his feelings after crossing the finish line in less than 4 minutes. "It was only then that real pain overtook me. I felt like an exploded flashlight with no will to live; I just went on existing in the most passive physical state without being unconscious." Today however, it's a different story. Just about every country in the world has athletes that routinely beat 4 minute mile barrier. In US, some top college level athletes achieve this too.
In February 2009, First Solar Inc. threw the gauntlet by breaking the $1/Watt price barrier. Now, to anyone of us who has done some basic research on the internet, this is an astounding figure. We are used to seeing typical solar electric system prices around $2-4/Watt.
Solar Power for Houses has gone through a similar phase in its quest to achieve cost parity with traditional sources of energy like natural gas, coal, and even nuclear. There have been similar negative claims made about house solar panels. While up starts and newcomers in this industry have been on cutting edge of solar technology and driven by innovation, there have been attempts by traditional large manufacturers like BP Solar to downplay $1/Watt price barrier. According to them $1/watt is not good for the health of the solar electric power systems I am not joking folks, honestly, their claim is that manufacturing practices involved in getting the solar electric panel price so low results in poor quality and shorter life span of the solar power generator systems.
BP Solar's claim is not entirely baseless of course. They are in this for profits, and it's normal that they present their strengths to the consumers. They are positioning themselves as the Maytag of solar power house business. Sort of like, the machine lasts so long and you never need to call the repairman, so it's worth it to pay some extra $ upfront. In fact they claim that over the lifetime of the solar power generation system, their modules cost 20 cents/kilowatt hour, which is the lowest cost in the industry, even if buyers pay more upfront.
However, I do believe companies like First Solar are an important part of the solar ecosystem. They push the cutting edge further, and make sure that traditional large players don't get too comfortable. Over time, I am sure the reliability and longevity issues will be ironed out as with any new technology. In the end who benefits? You, the intrepid Solar Power House owner

Yesderday's Apple Event was very, very exciting. My wife is a clinician and was almost leapt off of the couch when she saw Epocrates with the new functionality. I was excited by the gaming apps; go figure.
With all of this energy around the SDK, you might ask why am I feeling a bit disappointed? I feel there is still a lot of work to be done with the core iPhone applications and functionality. The iPhone has been out a year, yet there is basic and fundamental functionality still missing. I think we know what the big ones are; copy/paste and MMS. However, there are some areas that I don't feel get enough attention. These areas include search and calendars.
It is very difficult to find an appointment on the iPhone. I literally have to go day by day to find an appointment. Since the iPhone runs OS X, where is my Spotlight?
For those of us who use multiple calendars, why can't I add an appointment to any one of my calendars instead of a default one? While we are on the topic, where is my Notes and Task syncing?
I did notice the 2.0 calendar that was shown had the calendar buttons placed on the bottom instead of the top and a mysterious button located in the lower right. Could it be a task button? Am I getting worked up over nothing? Only time will tell.

Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm has signed into law HB 5127, which gives certain farm animals more flexibility in housing, and avoids a threatened ballot initiative by The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).
In effect, the law phases out veal crates for calves within three years, and battery cages for laying hens and certain uses of gestation crates for breeding sows within 10 years.
But Michigan Pork Producers Association (MPPA) Executive Vice President Sam Hines says MPPA's compromise with HSUS and state agricultural groups provides some certainty for pork producers which may not have been the case with a ballot initiative.
In his view:
--Producers retain the use of stalls for farrowing, breeding and early gestation (until the sow is confirmed pregnant) that allows maximum care and productivity.
--Producers get 10 years to make the adjustment for use of gestation stalls, which he says would have been unlikely under a ballot initiative.
--Producers get a program administered by the state department of agriculture and violations designated as civil penalties rather than criminal misdemeanors as was the case with Proposition 2 passed in California.
--Producers don't have to undergo audits and operate under a cumbersome livestock care committee.
"Basically, the agreement provided our producers a measure of certainty rather than leaving such an important decision to the whims of the voters in a ballot initiative," Hines say.

They're continually on the cutting edge of new paint products and methods and whenever I have a unique need they're there to help meet that need. I couldn't be happier. Thanks Cityscape!

What is CART captioning
Communication Access Realtime Translation is a word-for-word speech-to-text translation of all spoken words and environmental sounds facilitated through a CART Captioner trained in writing steno shorthand and conveying a speaker's message complete with environmental cues. Unlike computerized notetaking, speed typing, abbreviation systems, voice writing or other interpretation services, CART captioning empowers consumers to decide for themselves what information is important to them.
Why use remote captioning vs onsite captioning?
- Distance is too great for providing onsite CART – eg. isolated location
- Time does not permit travel to be on site – last minute requests
- No added travel costs for consumer – eg. No mileage or per diems
- Consumer preference – consumer may not want the CART Captioner on location with them
- Multiple locations needing simultaneous captioning
I have been a client of AB Captioning and CART Inc. in both a personal and professional capacity and have found their services to be of the upmost quality. Their professionalism with their clients is an attribute that I have especially appreciated. They are approachable and take pride in their work. I would happily recommend AB Captioning and CART Inc. for their CART services.
ABCaptioning has provided remote CART services for a student at the University of Ottawa during the Fall and Winter 2016-2017 terms.
Despite technical difficulties establishing a stable internet connection in the classrooms, they were always very patient, courteous, and helpful to the client, offering some very good suggestions and advice on resolving this issue.
They went above and beyond and the student was always happy with the level of service received.
They maintained a steady rapport with the student and myself and always provided quality notes. Their level of professionalism was beyond reproach. It was a pleasure communicating with Sandra German.
Since a professional acquaintance gave me information about CART Captioner services, my ability to participate fully in the many professional meetings and examinations I have as part of my job has incredibly improved. For people with severe hearing impairment, participating in meetings is exhausting and very challenging. The services of CART Captioners have really allowed me to be fully productive again at these meetings. The captioners have always been very professional and efficient, and the service impeccable, even when I have often been last minute in booking the services. I could not be more satisfied.

Well, Grand Island. More like an island in a sea of prairie grass, but I still need something decent to wear for the Fair at the end of August. The pies are judged on stage so I can't show up looking a fright. I cannot begin making my yearly State Fair hat until I know what I'm wearing, and I'm stumped. August in Nebraska is beastly hot. I have a vintage Lanz gingham dress from the 50's, but it is not the most comfortable thing I own.
Here's a look at some things I wore in previous years:
Ignore the haphazard crust-I was trying out a filling recipe. This is my attempt at Strawberry rhubarb and we were all pleased with how well it turned out. I used instant tapioca for the thickener and ended up with the perfect texture that was neither gloppy (as you get with cornstarch) nor "Pie Soup" as I often get with flour. So tapioca it shall be. I've already frozen quantities of strawberries and rhubarb as I know they won't be available at the end of August. I'll be entering around nine pies, which is frankly terrifying! Anyway, that's strawberry/rhubarb sorted.
Outfit Particulars:
Top-K Mart
Bag-New Life Thrift
Bamboo bangles-Hand-Me-Ups
Bakelite bangles-Both Thrift World
Wooden bangle-Hand-Me-Ups
If you're sick of hearing about fair preparations, I apologise as it is the only thing on our minds from now until the last week of August. I'll try to keep the outfit posts coming so you can just skip over the written content. I completely understand!
*Whines* But I don't have anything to wear!
I'll be back next week with results from the Wayne Chicken Show. I'm sure everyone in our neighbourhood will be relieved when they no longer need to listen to Danny (loudly) practising his chicken call. I know I'll be happy!
Have a great weekend.


text: The UK has progressed a sector based policy approach over the last decade with a view to improving its' skills position. The Sector Priorities Fund Pilot Programme (herein referred to as the SPFP Programme) is designed to take forward strategic sector project activity led by Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) in order to realise the sector related policy recommendations outlined in "Skills that Work for Wales: A Skills and Employment Strategy and Action Plan. This policy promotes a sector based response to identifying and addressing skills and employment needs within sectors of the Welsh economy.Skills That Work for Wales outlined the need for a Sector Priorities Fund from 2011 in Wales to align provision to the needs of key sectors of the economy. SPFP is aimed at piloting sector based solutions activity which has been identified by SSCs and evidenced as a need through their employer engagement strategies and backed by robust labour market intelligence. There is also an underlying aim to build the capacity in the skills system by brokering relationships between SSCs, FE and HE Institutions.This will enable sector solutions to be delivered with strong partnership arrangements with providers and strategic sector bodies (SSCs) who act as the voice of employers in identifying skills gaps and shortages, as well as reforming qualifications to ensure they meet the needs of industry. The overarching aim of the SPFP Programme is to provide the evidence base on which to inform and influence policy and delivery systems in Wales to enable mainstream training programmes supported by the Welsh Assembly Government to become more demand-responsive. That is, policy and delivery systems are more reflective of the training and skills needs articulated by employers across sectors of the Welsh economy. Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) will be at the core to directing and managing project activity and submit project proposals to be supported via the SPFP Programme funding. SSC strategic projects will be underpinned by evidence of employer-demand gained primarily through their Sector Skills Agreements (SSAs) and Sector Qualifications Strategies (SQSs), and will pilot activity aimed at feeding intelligence to inform the Sector Priorities Fund identified in "Skills that Work for Wales".

The Velocity and Volume of Information.
Land Speed Records
The Velocity of Transformation.
Speed Limits and Traffic Fines
Perhaps the question is not the velocity of transformation in parallel to the increasing rapidity of human time scales but rather our ability to adapt to them. Our familiarity with our signposts are vulnerable as they have been.. perhaps they are being transformed in advance of our flexibility and presence of mind that an unoccupied volume of time requires...an open space lest we forget the popcorn trail we left behind us to find our way back home again.

On a spectacularly beautiful underpopulated coast in the middle of the Pacific Ocean are the very cool Alofaaga Blowholes. Though perhaps not as magnificent as other blowholes and possibly underwhelming if you were to come all this way, they are nevertheless an interesting feature of nature.
You could watch a coconut be tossed in only to fly up, perhaps a rouge wave will catch you by surprised and splash you from the cliffs behind you while you are waiting for the next wave to shoot the spray up at you.
The Taga Blowholes, as they are also known, were created by lava flows which created tubes which were later eroded away.

Steve Harvey doesn't seem to know his staff's names
Steve Harvey has had some interesting interactions with his staff: Remember that memo where he told his staff not to talk to him? Well, today on his daytime talk show, Steve took a question from an audience member, who asked him the best way to remember people's names. However, Steve didn't seem to be very good at remembering his own staff's names.
It turns out that Steve just so happened to learn the name of young lady who was fielding audience questions … or so he thought. Matter of fact, Steve got her name wrong! The young woman's name is Anna-Kay, but Steve seemed to think it was Amika.
After a careful explanation and seeing her name written out, it seems as though Steve will now never forget Anna-Kay's name.

1884 Gown: Planning Stage
A friend of my Mom's recently gave her this book to pass on to me, The Wonderful World of Ladies' Fashion: 1850-1920, edited by Joseph J. Schroeder, Jr. and published in 1971. It's a collection of fashion illustrations from a variety of catalogs and periodicals dating between the years of 1850 and 1920, and with a few from earlier periods as an introduction to how fashion has changed. Represented are magazines and journals such as Harper's Weekly, Der Bazar, Godey's Lady's Book and Magazine, Ladies' Home Journal, Pictorial Review, etc. Vivid descriptions of fabric types, and some construction details accompany each illustration, but there are also adds for beauty products, and home-making goods, fashion satires, and poetry in addition to the fashion designs. It's a fascinating read.
Here are a few samples from inside the book.
Aren't they lovely!?
So, anyway, Natalie, from A Frolic through Time, approached me the other day, and asked if I had ever thought about having a Halloween tea/party, with a Victorian/Steampunk theme. No...I hadn't thought of it...but what a BRILLIANT idea, Natalie! So, she's planning one, with my help, and we've both started to work out what our outfits will be. And like the mad women we are, we plan on having them finished before THIS Halloween, not next.
I'm using the above illustration from 1884, found in my new(old) book, as the inspiration for my Victorian/Steampunk outfit. Here's the description:
"Costume of golden brown, dahlia or plum colored repped wool. False skirt covered with a pleated skirt. Tablier draped in a shawl point, and raised very high near the hips. At the back is a small pouf coquettishly draped. Gypsy jacket. The fronts open widely, and are fastened only at the neck. They are trimmed by a small round cord forming brandebourgs. Buttons terminate each one of these. The side forms of the back are slightly extended, and fasten over the box-pleated back in the same manner. Red velvet collar, cuffs and Swiss belt."
I will be using patterns from Truly Victorian, and since this is the first time I've made anything Victorian, I will have to start from the ground up...corset, petticoat, bustle, and all. I really love the look of the early 1880's...still a bit natural form, but with some sculptural detail and texture starting to reappear.
This gown, is a bit later, from 1887, but the description of fabric is gorgeous, and I'm using the color and texture scheme of this gown for my 1884 ensemble. Here is part of the description:
"The study in grey and brown, which is given under the title of a "summer walking dress", is copied from a batiste, the skirt of which is composed of brown stripes, and cluster lines of grey, and white. The overskirt and basque are checked, in the same colors, and the full vest is of soft silk, in lines of yellow, and brown. The cuffs and collar are of nut-brown velvet. The hat of crinoline, is of grey, striped with brown, and trimmed with brown velvet, and lilacs in the natural color."
I've already ordered some of the fabric...velvet, plaids, stripes, in browns and greys...it just speaks of Fall to me. I am so excited to be trying something new...a new era, new fabrics, new construction techniques, etc. The fun part, will be getting to add quirky details and embellishments to make it Steampunk! Time will tell if I'm as successful with the 1880's as I've been with the era of the Regency.

In my last post, I reviewed six possible sites for the second SMART station in Petaluma, four on the north side of N. McDowell Boulevard near Corona Road, a fifth on Old Redwood Highway, and a sixth that is between those two locations, on a parcel where a parking lot for the Lagunitas Brewery is currently being constructed. (More details on the six sites, including a quick summary of the pros and cons of each, were provided in the earlier post.)
Today, I want to look more deeply at the sixth. I'll conclude with a check for allies willing to join me in advocating for the site to become the second station.
To begin, if I rank the sites solely in terms of suitability as a commuter train station, the sixth site, which I'll describe at the Lagunitas parcel, comes in third. Based on ease of access, I'd give the edge to the two sites that front on N. McDowell Boulevard on either side of Corona Road, followed by the Lagunitas parcel.
It's true the two parcels at McDowell and Corona have acquisition issues, price on one and current use as a Post Office on the other, but the Lagunitas parcel is currently under construction for another use, so also has its challenges. If we're looking at the sites solely on the basis of suitability as a commuter train station, the Lagunitas parcel isn't necessarily worth much further attention.
But we shouldn't be looking solely at the commuter train station question. There is second land-use issue in the vicinity of the Lagunitas parcel. As I written several times, most recently here, there is a growing Petaluma brewpub district on N. McDowell. On the north side of McDowell is Lagunitas, the phenomenally successful local brewery with its ever-crowded brewpub. One south side is a pair of smaller, but still popular, breweries with operational pubs or future pub plans.
The immediate problem with the brewpub district is that there is little parking on the Lagunitas side of the street, so most Lagunitas patrons park in the industrial district across McDowell and then risk a crossing of the 40 mph arterial. It's a worrisome situation. The community is probably lucky that no one has yet been hurt.
To their credit, Lagunitas is addressing the concern by building a new parking lot on the parcel I've now identified as a possible train station.
But the parking lot, however laudable it might be, is only a partial solution. There is still the problem of patrons who park in the Lagunitas lot and then do a pub crawl, crossing McDowell between Lagunitas and the other brewpubs while dodging 40 mph vehicles.
Also, the Petaluma brewpub district may well become a regional destination, with beer fans coming from San Rafael or Santa Rosa by train to enjoy Petaluma and its hoppy beverages. But if the train station is located at Corona, potential patrons are left with a quarter-mile along a pedestrian unfriendly sidewalk to reach Lagunitas and then must also navigate a crossing of McDowell to reach the other brewpubs. It's not the best way to treat folks who want to enjoy a day in Petaluma.
But if the train station, including parking, is built on the Lagunitas parcel and if crossing McDowell is made safer and easier, all of the concerns would be addressed. Beer patrons could park on either side of McDowell and cross the street safely. None of the brewpubs would be excluded from the boom. Petaluma gets a tourist destination. And train commuters, who still have readily available parking because the morning commute would be long before the brewpubs opened for business, could end their workday in a bustling pedestrian environment.
The conventional approach to crossing McDowell would be with a traffic signal. But there is a problem with signal location. Pub crawl patrons would want the signal near Lagunitas. Train passengers who use Petaluma Transit to reach the train station and don't want a post-work beer would want the signal in front of the station. From experience, we know that some folks won't walk several hundred feet to use a signal, but will cross on their most direct route. Those folks would remain at risk from high-speed arterial traffic.
So, rather than a signal or signals, the better solution would be traffic calming McDowell to 25 mph so that painted crosswalks become effective and any pedestrians who might still be struck by cars have a much better chance of survival. (Dave Edmondson, writing in Vibrant Bay Area, recently produced a bar chart showing how dramatically pedestrian deaths decline as traffic slows.)
An extensive traffic calming effort on McDowell might have a similar cost to the signals or signals, but would offer more benefits. Indeed, with the train station on the Lagunitas parcel and McDowell simultaneously calmed to 25 mph, the benefits begin to flow as if from an open beer tap. Let's start counting the pros.
Pro #1: Petaluma would have a train station in a very acceptable location. It might not be quite as convenient as a Corona location for many commuters, but would better serve beer tourists or commuters eager to stop for post-work camaraderie.
Pro #2: Petaluma would have a cohesive brewpub district. The brewpub district grew up in an unexpected place. Placing the train station in the midst of it would be way of endorsing the district and giving it further momentum.
Pro #3: Petaluma would have a new tourist destination. If developed properly, the downtown train station already has the potential to welcome tourists into the historic downtown. With a train station in the brewpub district, the second train station would also have a personality. I'm tickled by the thought of someone staying in a downtown hotel, walking to the downtown station, riding to the brewpub district, and spending the afternoon enjoying music at Lagunitas. Petaluma would cement its place on tourism lists.
Pro #4: Pedestrian safety would be prioritized. A giant step would have been taken toward the community goal of making pedestrian safety rank about driving speed.
Pro #5: Other cross-McDowell connections would be enhanced. This discussion has been about beer drinkers crossing McDowell. But traffic calming McDowell between Old Redwood Highway and Corona Road would also facilitate other street crossings. Train riders could more easily access the Petaluma Health Center. Shoppers at OSH could more easily enjoy lunch at Beyond the Glory. At present, McDowell is a barrier to all but car drivers. Many new connections could blossom if pedestrians could more easily the street.
Pro #6: Transit-oriented development remains a strong possibility. Transit-oriented development, usually residential with light retail, should be an element of most new train stations. The Scott parcel is directly across the tracks from the Lagunitas site, so provides that possibility. The Scott parcel has challenges, including being outside the urban growth boundary, not fitting well with a reasonable transect application, and having apparent wetlands, but those are challenges that can be overcome.
But, of course, there are also cons, limited in number but significant in presence.
Con #1: Lagunitas is already building a parking lot on the site. I believe in the sanctity of entitlements. Lagunitas did well by the community in proposing and entitling the parking lot. If we're going to unwind that approval, Lagunitas would need to be kept whole, although I'm not sure what that might mean.
Con #2: Reconfiguring an arterial to drive at 25 mph is a big paradigm shift for Petaluma. There are precedents for this kind of change. Many European cities have gone that direction and New York City is making similar strides. But it would be a new and non-intuitive idea for much of Petaluma.
Con #3: There would be costs to reconfigure McDowell. It would be an interesting challenge to find the right combination of reduced lane widths, bulb outs, and other traffic calming devices to cause drivers to stay at 25 mph while also allowing the semi-truck traffic that serves the businesses and warehouses along McDowell. A cost tag of $1 million seems a reasonable starting point. Grants might be available for some of the cost, but funding would still be a challenge.
And there you have it, my best summary of the alternative location for the second Petaluma SMART station. I'm excited about the possibilities, while also realistic that the cons may well be insurmountable. But with allies, I'm willing to tilt at the windmill. And by allies, I don't mean folks who are willing to offer good wishes before heading off to a social engagement, but folks who are willing to write letters, to stand up before the City Council and/or SMART Board, and to generally agitate for a farsighted land-use concept.
If you're willing to be one of those allies, let me know. Either a comment below or an email would be fine. I'll wait to see how many folks raise their hands and then we can formulate a plan.
A change of gears is coming in my next post. For the past year, I've argued that Petaluma needs to become more officially supportive of block parties. I haven't gained much ground, but I've been invited to some great parties, including one coming up in the next couple of days. I'll report in my next post.
As always, your questions or comments will be appreciated. Please comment below or email me. And thanks for reading. – Dave Alden (email@example.com)

Back pain refers to a severe pain in the back due to a strain in the muscle and the associated ligaments of the spine. Back pain is a fairly common condition and almost everyone has experienced it at least once in their lifetime. The pain can be either acute (pain in sudden bursts) or chronic (lasting for more than a month). Back pain generally tends to subside if one takes appropriate measures.
You might experience the following symptoms along with back pain:
Back pain might occur due to the following reasons:
Ayurveda can be very useful for eradicating back pain. According to Ayurveda, back pain is caused due to the heightening of the 'vata' owing to an unhealthy diet, anxiety, and suppression of muscles, collectively called 'dosha'.
The Ayurvedic remedies for back pain are as follows:
Besides all these, such people should always avoid sudden change in temperature like if you are sitting in AC, then switch off the AC atleast 15mins. before you move out of the car or the chamber or house.

Everytime I go to London I am in awe over the beautiful buildings. So when me & the boyf chose to stay in 'Space Apart Hotel' on this street in Kensington, I felt like a city princess! The apartment was beautiful & really good value for money considering we even upgraded to the premium room! I'm mad at myself for not taking any pictures of it. That's usually the first thing I do! Without fail, everytime me & Matthew go away & we arrive to our room he says "Go on, get all of your pictures before I sit down & move somethig out of place!" Haha! #datingabloggerproblems.
I've blogged about London a few times now & each time I preach how much I love it & how much I never want to go home. I just wish I would make the most of it when I'm here instead of treating it like home! There's so much to do in London! So much more cool stuff there than there is in Manchester. Next time I visit I'll be sure to make the most of it & give you guys something fab to read! But for now, if you're looking at heading to London, look at where I stayed. So central to everywhere & it's in a quiet area as well as being surrounded by restaurants & little bars - perfect for a nice weekend away! :)

Canyon Treefrog (Hyla arenicolor)
This small treefrog has variable pattern and color which allow it to match the color of its background extremely well. Restricted to riparian areas (those among streambeds) in rocky canyons, the canyon treefrog is often found in groups among boulders, to which it clings using its large adhesive toepads. They avoid predators using their natural camouflage and by limiting movement to when a predator comes near.
Length: 1 ¼ - 2 ¼ inches.
Diet: Insects

One of the front runners in podcast apps, BeyondPod, received a notable update in the Play Store today. The bulk of the changelog is focused on improvements in UI and usability, which is always welcome. The general player and playlist UI has received a bit of polish, with better use of gradients and shadowing to properly highlight unplayed shows. Additionally, the player notification -- provided you're on Android 4.0 and above -- has received a facelift, offering better playback controls. Under the hood improvements in streaming, downloading and bug fixes are also included.
While BeyondPod is powerful, it sometimes runs into a predicament, walking the line between offering a lot of functionality and being overwhelming with too many options. This update works to help with that problem, making some of the UI elements more intuitive.

My dear dreamers,
Today I have with me the talented multimedia-artist Elly Ang, from the Philippines. Welcome Elly and thank you for your time!
DLC Photography Profile by ~angelelly93 on deviantART
1. Tell us a little about yourself. What was your biggest conquest? What's your most treasured dream?
Hi! I'm Elly Ang, a Chinese girl who lives in the Philippines, and speaks better in English than in Chinese, but I try. Haha! I love art, and when I was in my first year in high school, I already knew that I'd be taking Multi-media Arts in college. A bit weird because I wanted to be a vet when I was a kid, but hey, dreams change.
My biggest conquest would be surviving arts and design college. I'm in my 3rd year now and to tell you the truth, I have competition, and there are a lot of people that are better than me. In some ways I surpass them, and in some ways they surpass me. But I still do my best and persevere. I can't be good at everything but I have to keep trying.
My most treasured dream, next to being happy, is to work for Pixar Animation Studios someday. It's a longtime dream of mine, and despite having a hard time in 3D and 2D animation, I'm willing to keep doing my best.

2. You did a wonderful project for school, combining photography and drawing. What did you learn along the process? And how long did it take from the draft until the final project?
Thank you! Actually, I did learn a lot of things, like when you shoot outside, the weather can't be changed, you have to adjust to the weather, if it's super sunny, you either wait (if you don't have a choice because your photo will be overexposed) or you can adjust your camera. I also learned that big projects like that would take so much time and patience.
It took at least 4-5 days, the first day was coming up with an idea for my final project for photography class, and it counts as a big impact to my final grade. Then I saw the chalk photography in the Internet and I thought, why not? I pitched my concept to my professor and he approved it.
Then I talked to my sister to help me out, and then got two of our cousins to be the model. Thank god it was school break for everyone except me (because we have 3 semesters per school year). My sister helped me with the concept, she's an artist also (except she's an Interior Designer), we planned it out, printed some photos of Disney characters and such. Then we bought supplies, a lot of chalk and black poster papers.
First day of shoot was a failure, because the poster paper was too light so we had to tape it to the floor or the garage, the problem was that the wind would still pull it. It took so much time that we gave up after two scenes.
Second day of shooting was so much better; we used black illustration boards instead, which was heavier and better. We did six Disney ladies in one day.
Third day of shooting was a bit rushed, but we did great. We finished the four ladies and I finished the layout and editing, then immediately went to the printing place to print the book that I have to pass to my professor. He wanted it in a hardbound album type thing.
Anyway, I was prepared, so I have a back-up plan, because the first shooting day was a failure. But I always remind myself that anything that can go wrong WILL go wrong at some point, DOUBT everything and prepare.
If you want to see the behind the scenes photos of the shoot, you can visit my blog at: danger-in-design.
Disney Ladies Chalk Photography: ALICE by ~angelelly93 on deviantART
3. Which Disney princess would you like to be? Why?
I'd say Mulan but that might be because she's Chinese and I want a dragon. Haha! I think it would Alice (is she included in the Disney princesses?) in Alice In Wonderland, because she's so curious in life and she has adventurous streak, and she doesn't care what other people thinks.
Disney Ladies Chalk Photography: MULAN by ~angelelly93 on deviantART
4. Which tools do you use in your creative works? Which one do you feel more comfortable with?
I use a lot of things; I'm a Multi-media artist. I use a camera, a tablet, my laptop, and a whole lot of programs. I have to adjust to all of them so I'll feel more comfortable, I can't really choose because I have to learn all of them. It's not just photography; I also do advertisements, covers, videos, and whatnot. Jack-of-all-trades, I guess.

5. Do you keep a notebook to register all your ideas? What could we find in there?
I don't have a notebook or a planner that I keep my ideas in. I'm basically a scatterbrain. Haha! One time, I tried to keep a planner, I ended up writing for a few days and I suddenly stopped. I don't know. I really just can't keep a planner.
Usually, my ideas are written in stickies or whatever notepad or word file in my MacBook, sometimes I write them on scrap paper or my sketchbook, which I forget and lose. I have no hope for memos. When I'm desperate, I use Post-Its and slap it on my MacBook so I'll remember it the next day. I guess some ideas just retain themselves in my brain.
Disney Ladies Chalk Photography: JASMINE by ~angelelly93 on deviantART
6. What and when was the last movie you absolutely adored? What made you feel that way?
WRECK-IT RALPH. The last movie I watched and I ABSOLUTELY adore it. I don't usually like some of Disney's animated movies (except Tangled), but I really fell in love with this one. If you haven't watched it, you definitely should.
Anyway, Wreck-It Ralph is a great movie because of its idea and plot, it's simple but different, and I was never bored during movie, I also cried in some parts, and I rarely cry in animated films unless it's a Pixar movie. Wreck-It Ralph is imaginative, funny, and definitely inspirational.
Disney Ladies Chalk Photography: WENDY by ~angelelly93 on deviantART
7. What was the bigger obstacle you had to surpass? How did it help in your future works?
The biggest obstacle that I've surpassed recently would be the Disney Ladies Chalk Photography. Because I have never been THAT diligent in my life. I started it early instead of cramming it and frankly, I really did find my passion in photography there. But I don't see myself being a photographer in the future, but I definitely found out that I was good at it.
That experience helped me with my next photography class and it inspired me to do a lot better in my other works.

8. Are you a morning or a night person? Do you have a special time and place where you get more creative?
I'm a night person, definitely a night person. Because I schedule my classes during the night. Well, usually. Because I find it so hard to wake up in the morning. I'm totally a night owl. I usually feel really creative when I have inspiration, but that's hard to come by when I'm doing so many things, so creative ideas get to me when I'm in my busiest mode or in my cramming mode.
Cramming is definitely a bad habit of mine, but during my desktop publishing class, I crammed most of my work and they were all great and I got the highest grades. The best ideas come to me when I'm under pressure. I should really work on getting over my procrastination. LOL.
Disney Ladies Chalk Photography: MEG by ~angelelly93 on deviantART
9. What is the characteristic that most defines you?
This is a tough one. I'd say I'm calm. Because even if I have a deadline or I'm in a middle of a fight, I always remain calm. I don't let emotions like anxiety or anger get the best of me. I don't see the point in making a mountain out of a molehill when I can simply ignore it or find another way to overcome it.
Disney Ladies Chalk Photography: CINDERELLA by ~angelelly93 on deviantART
10. If you could make a change in this world with your work, what would it be?
I've always wanted to make everyone smile or make them happy. That's why my blog is full of happiness most of the time. And when I'm angry, I don't show it to people because I believe that what emotion I show will affect people around me. You pass hate and they'll pass it on to someone else. It's a domino effect.
I would love my art to pass on happiness and inspiration. I haven't figured out how to do that yet, but I would dedicate my work on making people pass on the happiness and inspiration that my work has pass on to them.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) is a national charity with a big mission: to save lives and reduce injuries.
It promotes safety and the prevention of accidents at every stage and in almost every area of life: home, road, work, leisure, education.
It does this through practical projects, free advice, resources and information, campaigning, lobbying and through safety education, training and consultancy.
From the campaign to stop drink driving, to the Cycling Proficiency Test and the more recent ban on handheld mobile phones behind the wheel, RoSPA has helped prevent millions of deaths and serious injuries. But with accidents killing more than 15,000 people across the UK each year, there's still work to be done.
RoSPA has teamed up with the Pod to communicate these important messages to school children across the UK.
It will provide news, seasonal safety messages and resources. We will also work together to explore how we could facilitate children helping each other to prevent accidents, through the Pod's Helping Hands campaign.

So the big day has arrived!! Your carefree days of being the eligible bachelor are no more. It's now times for you to start behaving as gentlemanly as possible, assume responsibilities and shed the face of your bachelorhood!
There are many qualities that decide the personality of a man – what you wear is just one of them. Dressing up has been of importance since the days of the Emperor's new clothes. So oughtn't u gear up for what is going to be the most important day of your life?
Okay so you've decided to go in for formal wear a.k.a the western style – a tuxedo. A wide variety greets you at the outset. Your best choice for the occasion would be a full-sleeved shirt with button ups, the option of a tie, a coat and trousers to match.
First as we decide on the shirt, the material of the shirt is left to your discretion based on the climatic conditions, preferably cotton.! A plain light coloured shirt would best suit the overcoat. White, Grey, Cream…. etc. No flashy colours or designs, please. You don't want to look incongruous at your own reception.
Next, most importantly comes the colour of your coat – preferably a dark shade of black or blue. Grey assumes exciting hues in stone, slate & charcoal grey with plain or mild checks. There is the choice of going in for the Tweed or the Polyester variety, which is basically a soft Merino-wool blend. Lightweight wool fabrics are recommended for summer. The straight jacketed 2-button single breasted and 4-button double-breasted are no longer the only options. For those taller and lean physiques there is the 3-button suit or a double-breasted jacket in six or eight button combinations.
Button them or leave them open -the decision is yours. The Renaissance collection from Raymond fabrics has gentle but striking hues. Try them on for that suave look!
Trousers that match are the next in line. The fashion now is towards parallels in straight cuts, two deep pleats and a high waist. Get the perfect shades and size for your comfort. Get a waist belt again black or brown preferable, not too wide with a small not too conspicuous buckle. Ensure that it gives a snug fit without having to wrap it two times over.
A matching double-knotted tie to go with your outfit is essential. No bright colours or caricatures, subdued stripes or plain shades will do the trick. Couple your apparel now with your choice of comfortable formal leather shoes and matching socks. A clean handkerchief in your trouser pocket could prove useful. Other accessories like cuff links, optional adornments like bracelets, chains or rings complete the outfit. Accentuate your looks with a little make up and add a dash of Brut for that whiff of masculinity.
And now our suede handsome groom is ready to face the world !!
Now close your eyes, take a deep breath and think: no more exclusive bachelor booze parties, no more Marilyn Monroe and Pam Anderson/Lee/Whatever on you walls, no more…okay, okay, I am not helping. I'll stop and get on with it.
From now on, you'll need to look groomed – washed, shaven, clean. And the toughest of 'em all – the difference between cutting nails and getting a manicure. The following lines are meant to educate and enlighten you on the nitty-grittiess of haute couture. So here goes. And best of luck.
So is your Sherwani ready? Today almost 90 per cent of the bridegrooms opt for traditional wear.
Many go for an eclectic fusion of the traditional with the Western in the form of the Bandhgala Jodhpuri suits. In traditional wear, too, there are a whole lot of options for the groom.
Most of the Indian marriages consist of at least three occasions the sangeet, the wedding and then, the reception. At the sangeet, which is a fun occasion, the clothes must reflect the spirit of the occasion. Ideal would be a Churidar-kurta, worn with a Nehru jacket and a stole- its both style and comfort combined. A Chogha, that is the modern day interpretation of the jama works very well, too. It finally boils down to what suits the groom.
For the wedding, a Sherwani or Achkan looks special. What you must avoid though is the tying of the Kamarbandh (waist band) over the Achkan. A more stylish approach would be the contemporary version of the one or two button Achkan, wherein the knot of the Kamarbandh can be tied under it on the kurta.
Just as important as the dress are the accessories. The right accessories can add that extra element of style to the whole outfit. The Saffa (turban) and the Juttis (closed shoes) should be coordinated with the ensemble. For a bejeweled look, wear a lone string of pearls as an accessory.
For the reception ensemble should be understated and stylish. A Bandhgala Achkan with embroidered panels or a Sherwani or a well-cut jacket with a pocket looks great. Though the colours and cuts are mainly traditional, the newer bridegrooms are seen wearing other colours than merely shades of beige maye deep olive, grey, blue or even black.
Going for the tux While the western look is the conventional tuxedo for men. Things to be considered while opting for a tux are the colour, the fit, the fabric, the pattern and most important of all, your individual style, then buy that special shirt. Perennial favorites are plains, pinstripes, weaves and occasions? While for the tie, nothing bold, flashy and definitely nothing with cartoon caricatures please . Make it a top-quality tie/bow tie/cravatand match it to the rest of your attire.
The kamarbandh add a dash of Elan to the suit only if you discard the waistcoat. Otherwise, you will look a trifle overdressed. When it comes to kamarbadhs, stick to deep maroon or black and ensure not a crease is out of place.
Forget about mix-and-match, go in for a good quality suit which is impeccably tailored. Basic black, navy or gray flannel will ensure you can wear the suit till it wears out.
Keep your belt discreet, medium width, preferably hand-tooled leather and no big buckles That goes for other accessories, too, like tie pins, cuff links, rings, gold chains about the neck, bracelets, gold strapped watches. Less is more for this special day.
Always wear leather shoes and the conventional Oxford with three eyelets, in the colour that best matches your suit. Keep socks strictly matched to suit and shoes.Check your wallet for signs of wear and replace it with a sturdy, sober-coloured one that must not ever bulge that is crass.

CANBERRA (Reuters) - Australia's government will build a new A$43 billion ($30.7 billion) national high-speed fiber-optic broadband network, rejecting bids in a controversial tender involving some of the country's largest telecommunications firms.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said on Tuesday the government would ask private companies join a new private-public firm to build the network. The government would sell its majority stake after five years when the network was fully operational.
"The initiative announced today is a historic nation-building investment focused on Australia's long-term national interest," Rudd said, announcing the surprise decision.
Australia has slower and more expensive Internet services than many developed countries, raising concerns about competitiveness, but the project will be made more difficult by the country's vast distances and inhospitable terrain.
The government had been set announce the winner of a tender to build the network, which was a centerpiece of Rudd's winning election campaign.
But the tender process was enveloped in controversy after the country's largest phone company, Telstra Corp, was dumped from the running in December, after the government panel reviewing bids said its proposal did not comply with the requirements.
Rudd said the new network would be built with money from a national infrastructure fund and the sale of bonds, following an initial government investment of A$4.7 billion.
The fiber-to-the-home scheme would be the largest infrastructure project in Australia's history, Rudd said, and would support 37,000 jobs as the country teeters on the edge of an expected recession that is likely to push the jobless rate above 7 percent next year.
The network would connect 90 percent of homes to a network with speeds of up to 100 megabits per second.

Today I investigated a report of a new kite nest on my patch in a wooded valley north of Machynlleth. I saw a kite gliding across the valley from the reported nest site. I became aware of a 'droning' noise which was familiar to me and it seemed to be getting louder it was that characteristic sound made by the engines of an army 'Chinook' helicopter. It seemed to be getting closer and suddenly there it was it appeared around the corner so to speak just a couple of hundred feet above me and I could clearly see the aircraft crew within. The kite had been crossing its flightpath only seconds earlier and it could well have fallen victim to the aircraft's rotor blades! As Wellington declared at Waterloo that sure was 'a close-run thing'!
Kite monitoring is never boring!

A close run thing!

Your Chinook incident reminds me of the day I found the nest in Herefordshire, 2004. I was searching through the wood when I heard that characteristic sound made by an army'Chinook' helicopter. The big bird disturbed the Red Kite enabling me to find the nest sooner than anticipated. My heart was in my mouth for several minutes until the bird returned to the nest.
