Girls I went through the sammmmmmme thing in grade school.... ah the younger days. I hated the ridicule it bothered me so much that I went out and bough jolen and bleached the hairs on my arms for awhile.... then I tried trimming.... and then I got older and it started to not bother me anymore. when I got to high school, people were a little more mature, and I even met other girls with dark hair and nobody cared. I feel for you, because its definitely so normal to feel embarrassed about it when kids point it out and joke about it and make you feel bad, but I promise it will get better, and don't lose your head trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist

I am a neat freak and a minimalist. On the complete other hand, dh loves his clutter and stuff. It is everywhere!!!!!! I try to get him to get rid of things and papers especially, and he says one of two things,
"we may need it some day" or
"Quit worrying about my stuff and deal with your own."
Errrg. But he wants to hang on to everything. How do you deal with clutter when it isn't your own?
How to deal with - when I get rid of something, dh later says "where is that old kitchen beater (for example)?" but I got rid of it cause it was mine and I would never need it, but a year later dh really needed it, and doesn't like me to get rid of anything.
I totally understand. I can't stand massive amounts of stuff but DH is very sentimental and "we might need it oneday" "save the box" "that's really important"
I really don't understand it but I guess he just thinks differently than I do. I understand the sentimental stuff that was from his mom or belonged to his mom since she just passed away in April this year. I managed to get it all together in 1 box so at least it's not all over the house. I know he will eventually part with some of it but for now he is still grieving.
As for the boxes, I tend to "accidently" crush them and they get tossed out. I have managed to convince him to organize his stuff better so it's not just randomly all over the place. And every once in a while he will go thru stuff and toss things out.

We live in an incredibly small space. Take all of this with a grain of salt as dh was gone for 7 months with the military and can be gone at a moments notice due to emergency deployment.
What i tell dh is that I spend the majority of a 24 hour period inside our home raising and caring for our children, therefor i need minimal clutter. I don't do well with clutter or hoarding. If he wants to save it or box it up and save it for later he is more than welcome to box it up and take it himself to storage (which is a monthly payment and means our disposable income is lower). If he cannot do so, within 48 hours (aside from his military issued items) i will toss it. If it is important (his military stuff) i will box it up for him and then he must either put it in his own vehicle or take it to storage.
My husband is the same. We do not have much space, but I have `given` him a whole room to himself. This room is an absolute pigsty, but I am not allowed to touch it or throw anything away which is in it. It keeps the rest of the apartment from being taken over. We have two bedrooms, and two children. I sleep with the kids or in the living room. The biggest room is taken up by him and his trash.
Everything that belongs to him goes in there. I shut the door on it, and bite my tongue to try and not end up divorced from him. Apart from being messy and a horder he is not a bad guy.
Every time I go in there I wonder how he can sleep or even be in that terrible room. It upsets me even thinking about it!
Stuff gets thrown away.
happy family! we
I see this a lot. This sort of divide broke up my parents. I won't let stuff get between DH and I.
What I want to know is why the way called a "freak" is somehow morally superior to other approaches to stuff. In the OP he was right, he did need it again.
Formerly known as "JessicaRenee". Single mama to Jude (Sept '09)!
In what way is taking over the entire house with stuff, so that the rest of the family cannot be comfortable in their home, morally superior either? People who want space and room to do things are not morally inferior to people who want to devote their home to storage.
How do you deal with clutter when it isn't your own?
How to deal with - when I get rid of something, dh later says "where is that old kitchen beater (for example)?" but I got rid of it cause it was mine and I would never need it, but a year later dh really needed it, and doesn't like me to get rid of anything.
I would suggest territories. Your space, his space, and family space. You keep your space how you please, he keeps his space how he pleases, and family space is tended so that the family, _not_ just the hoarder, can use it. I realize that this is probably not how it is now, but I would suggest slowly making it that way, reclaiming one space at a time - one chair, one table, one drawer - from the hoard. Start with your spaces - your bedside table, your closet or your half of the closet, half of the couch, half of the coffee table, one of the bathrooms if there are two, and so on. If there's a desk that's all his and he makes it unusable, clear space so that you have a desk, too. And so on. Every time he puts junk in cleared spaces, move it to uncleared spaces, as close to instantly as you can - make it as if the cleared spaces repel junk automatically.
And then start de-hoarding the shared spaces, and do the same thing there, just a little more gently - he's entitled to use the shared spaces too, but junk sits on them while he's working with it, and perhaps for a few hours after, but every evening or every other evening, it gets moved too. If he claims that he can't use a space unless his stuff is allowed to litter it indefinitely and prevent everyone else from using it, I'd say that's just too bad. If he wants a workspace where stuff sits indefinitely, he does that in _his space_, not shared space.
You'll have to do this yourself. The hoarder will most likely _never_, under any circumstances whatsoever, actually help clear things. You'll have to do it whether they like it or not.
Re the kitchen beater, _if_ it was shared property, and if your DH wanted to keep it while you wanted to get rid of it, he should have kept it in his space - his den, his bureau, his part of the garage, whatever space was allocated to him as his space. But if it was yours, not shared property, then I'd say that it's absolutely none of your DH's business whether you keep it or get rid of it.
The hoarder does not get to take control of every object, and every space, in the house. The house is not solely the hoarder's home, a place where other people are allowed by sufferance as long as they don't mess with the stuff. It belongs to the whole family, and he's going to have to let the family live there and be productive there, whether he likes it or not.
Yeah, this is a little bit harsher than my usual posts on this subject. :) I'm feeling a distinct lack of patience for hoarders just now. But my advice would be precisely the same in any case, I'd just put it more gently.
Thanks, Cray. This stuff is always helpful for me to hear. I told that if they 4.5 foot stack of white paper doesn't get given to the school (who will get some kind of money for it) by Tuesday then it's going out in the recycle bin. I've been asking for it to leave since last June!
My DH is a sentimental hoarder, and a "but we may use it someday", "lets keep the box" guy. He has completely cluttered up his office and the garage. The problem really is - he doesn't like being in the clutter, so he moved out and is working in the living room but he is too unmotivated/preoccupied with other things to organize. I negotiate, and eventually we will organize the office. But he really needs to get rid of about 1/3rd of his stuff to make it fit.
The worst part - DH doesn't like putting things away. The "I'll put it away when I'm done, I still need it" policy has kept a bunch of screwdrivers on his desk for about 5 months now.
I love him to pieces though, and he is a great partner and father.
Yes thanks Cray! I need that prespective.
So happy to share, dh and I gathered together the loads of cardboard boxes he ws saving, "just in case", and we make a giant New Years Eve bonfire! So glad to have those gone.
We've been married for 3.5 years, and only just now has he started to agree to get rid of things without a fight. And I'm beginning to think that he only cooperated thus far to shut me up, because most of what he's agreed to get rid of has yet to actually leave the house. He did go through his books and got a big bag together to take to the library, though. He discharged from the army two years ago and still has all the gear. most of it is packed up in the attic and I'm playing the Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind game with that, but he's got five pairs of boots just sitting out and he NEVER wears them. The man has more shoes than I have. They're just taking up space on the shoe rack while the shoes he actually wears are all over the floor. I finally got him to agree to get rid of three pairs, but he hasn't done it yet. He also has five jackets of similar styles, all of them are black. He agreed to get rid of two and was going to take them to work and offer them to someone there, but then he put the in the back room and forgot about them. They're still there. If he doesn't take them to work tomorrow, I'm taking them to the thrift store. He has more toys than a kid. And I don't mean adult toys, electronics and stuff, I mean toys. Every cartoon he ever watched as a kid (and he was pretty much raised by the TV) he has action figures and t-shirts and anything else you can think of. They were all in a box from our move to this house, and the last time I said "Can we do something with all of this?" he said "Sure, honey," and put up a shelf and put them all on the shelf. Great, now our bedroom looks like a ten-year-old boy lives here. I mentioned a few months ago that things were getting cluttered again and he suggested getting another shelf. Um, no, not quite what I had in mind. The thing that irritates me the most, though, is his socks! He has enough socks to outfit an army. They don't fit in his dresser. I gave him a basket for them that's about the size of a small wastebasket and it's overflowing. He doesn't wear them all. When it's time to do laundry his sock basket is still at least half full. He insists it's because he has socks he wears in the winter and socks he wears in the summer, but they all look the same to me, and somehow the same socks are always on the bottom, no matter what season it is. I have a lot of other things to say about our differences of opinion regarding socks, but this is not the place for it. :) His reasons for hanging on to things: "I like it", "It's cute", "We'll need it", "It's still good". But he won't eat leftovers. Go figure.

Developments of Harmonic Maps, Wave Maps and Yang-Mills Fields into Biharmonic Maps, Biwave Maps and Bi-Yang-Mills Fields
Part of the series Frontiers in Mathematics pp 243-304
Biharmonic Maps

The last five decades have witnessed many developments in the theory of harmonic maps. To become acquainted to some of these, the reader is referred to two reports and a survey paper by Eells and Lemaire [119, 122, 124] about the developments of harmonic maps up to 1988 for details. Several books on harmonic maps [203, 205, 206, 389, 425] are also available. In this chapter, we follow the notions and notations of harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds by Eells- Sampson [129] in the introduction.We discuss the crucial topics in harmonic maps including fundamentals, regularity, maps of surfaces, maps of KRahler manifolds, maps into groups and Grassmannians, harmonic maps, loop groups, and integrable systems, harmonicmorphisms, maps of singular spaces, and transversally harmonic maps. Since the theory of harmonic maps has been developed over half a century, it is impossible to provide full details. However, we try to present the most important components of the topics.

Hey Michigan, I Got Something For What Ails You. Read it, Reduce it, Repeal it, Reform it. Dr Dan Benishek for Congress. Or Click The Graphic.
No I'm not a Doctor, but I did visit A Holiday Inn Express Website.
This particular Holiday Inn Express is located in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. I bet right about now the good people of Sault Ste Marie, are wishing the economy was better, and people were checking into their hotels, eating at their restaurants, and enjoying their recreational areas. Right now Michigan's unemployment rate is 13.6%, there is someone who wants to prescribe something for "Michigan's Malaise" Dr Dan Benishek, Republican candidate, for the U.S. Congress, wants to be your next Representative for Michigan's 1st District.
Of course for people to be able to visit the beautiful 1st District of Michigan, people need to be able to rent hotel rooms in Michigan. That takes money, and in order to get money, they need jobs. This is something Dan Benishek understands, his opponent RINO Jason Allen, is being funded by SEIU, of course the Unions care about jobs - theirs, not necessarily yours.
Dr Dan Benishek, understands how supply and demand works, how to stimulate the economy with job growth. Unfortunately people in the Democrat party have their own ideas about stimulating the economy. For example Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, believes that extending unemployment benefits stimulates the economy. I have listened to the Speaker, I have tried to follow her reasoning. But I have a difficult time understanding how, paying people very little amounts of money, to keep them from gainful employment, stimulates the economy. Perhaps in some bureaucrat's formula for wealth redistribution it stimulates the economy, but one thing is for sure it doesn't do a thing for a person's self esteem.
Dr Dan Benishek, wants to treat the whole patient, not just the symptoms. (Bart Stupak: Hey let's use BP Escrow fund to pay for health care.) Lord knows Michigans 1st District has been patient ;)
I feel your pain Michigan, and I have to say after witnessing what you all have been going through with your current representation, It reminds me of "You Can't Cure Stupid But You Can Vote Them Out"
There is a remedy, Dr Dan Benishek - Go Here: All You Need To Do Is Fill Your Prescription.
Black Crowes "Remedy"
Can I have some remedy?
Remedy for me, please
If I had some remedy
I'd take enough to please me....

About Philip Nel
I teach, read, write, and blog. Despite the fact that formal education held little interest prior to college, I somehow managed to become a Professor of English. (Since I teach in a university system with, at best, an ambiguous relationship to academic freedom, I think it legally prudent to avoid naming my employer here.) I've written and edited several books.* I've even appeared on National Public Radio and CBS Sunday Morning. Surprised? Believe me, I'm far more surprised than you are. And yet, implausible though this all seems, it's also true.
I'm represented by Stephen Barbara of InkWell Management.

Christmas shopping always generates a certain amount of anxiety. But the feverish nature of it around shopping this season has been spectacular, in the true sense of the word. Few can be unaware that in the high streets some businesses are fighting for survival, as pretty much all of the shops slash prices in an effort to increase "footfall".
Each new retail initiative, in every single chain, it seems, is analysed in forensic detail, as media organisations try to work out whether they will get people buying, or persuade people to wait for further cuts.
So suddenly everyone is a retail expert, happy to bang on for hours about the minutiae of consumption, in an apparent delusion that they woke up one morning in early December to discover that they were, in fact, Philip Green. The nation of shopkeepers has found a new conversation, and every second person is happy to talk earnestly about their own imaginary businesses, and the difficulties they are facing.
Rents were due on Christmas Day, people who have never been behind a till fret anxiously, and disappointing sales in December have cast into doubt the ability of some retailers to pay. Shops, they explain with furrowed brow, are even willing to forego profit at this point, so that they can simply move stock and get hold of some cash.
It's worrying in itself, this trend. Consumers have become experts, fascinated by the emergence of uncertainty in a sector that for years, in theory at least, has known nothing but boom, and turning shopping itself into a form of speculation. The wonder of it all is that some people are still finding the time and the inclination to shop, when talking about shopping has become so much more satisfying.
Five million people, we're told, shopped online on Christmas Day itself. Yesterday, most of the big shops opened on Boxing Day, some of them for the first time, and it was reported that people queued for hours to get into them, and grab a bargain. This is being hailed a Good Thing, though it seems a bit sad that people resort to sitting at their computers, buying things, on Christmas Day, and a bit sadder still that they'll get up at the crack of dawn on Boxing Day to fight their way into Selfridges. The Boxing Day sales this year were "the busiest in memory" and were billed as "defying the credit crunch". It all looked like obsessive desperation.
Anyway, none of this enthusiasm, we are also told, will save some retailers from collapse. Experts at an outfit called Begbies Traynor have been popping up for days on end now, warning that in the next month 10 to 15 chains will go into administration. These experts, of course, do not disclose which retailers they have in mind. That would be destructive. Instead they just up their own profile by indulging in a little bit of generalised doom-mongering.
All those left with the rather more serious task of telling everyone not to panic emphasise that only those retailers who failed to move with the times should be worried. Woolworths had been in trouble for years. MFI was left high and dry by the seizing-up of the property market. Zavvi, the music retailer, relied on Woolies to deliver its online business, so that was a knock-on casualty. Whittard's? That's been a retail mystery for years. Who pops regularly into a shop that specialises in horrible teapots? Officer's Club? Wasn't that looking half-dead last Christmas? And so on.
In reality, of course, it's all even more dispiriting than it looks. The real problem is that people don't feel well off any longer, because they never were as affluent as they believed themselves to be. For years every homeowner trotted out to work, safe in the knowledge that the building they had left behind would be lounging around all day, doing nothing, and raking in more earnings that the guy who was paying the mortgage. Lots of money may have been spent in the shops, but it very often was not disposable income at all. Now it's not a little bit of asset conversion. It's just a pile of debt.
It seems utterly inevitable under such circumstances that the retail sector will shrink, that this will cost many people their jobs, and that this in turn will depress spending power. The analysts at Begbies Traynor, and all the armchair retail experts, may be filled with awestruck wonder as they smell panic on the high street, and quietly toss around between them the "big names" that they bet will fall. Viewed that way, the crisis turns into a gladiatorial game.
The really sad thing is that this panicky publicity is in itself fuelling expectation that the big companies will deliver very cheap items, whether in store or online. Many small retail businesses didn't even see the point in opening over the holidays, let alone rousting their staff out on Boxing Day. There is still, clearly, some glamour in going along to watch the powerful and famous slug it out, even when it's only powerful and famous stores. But it's the local shops that have really had the nightmare Christmas.
And they all purred with delight
Eartha Kitt, has died aged 81, was described by no less a chap than Orson Welles as "the most exciting woman in the world". She was still being booked to play cabaret dates during her final illness. Now she has gone, I'm rather glad I saw her in action, as a 65-year-old sex kitten, still wowing an audience of 1,000 adoring young men.
She looked great that night, with her slender figure, her seemingly endless energy and her revealing black chiffon dress. She did the famous purr rather too many times, but since all of the men were purring right back at her like maniacs, she could hardly have been blamed.
The slightly odd thing about all that enthusiasm she whipped up was that almost her entire audience was extravagantly gay. She was pretending that she found them alluring. They were pretending that they found her alluring. The room was filled with role play, and like the Catwoman she styled herself as, Eartha lapped it up.
It was a perfect match between siren and audience. The one thing she didn't have to pretend was that she actually wanted to sleep with any of them. The one thing they didn't have to pretend was that any of them actually wanted to sleep with her. The result was a huge room full of good cheer, and positive feeling. One only wishes the Pope had been there to see it.
Is this some kind of weird futuristic community?
There's always one aspect of Christmas that I'm particularly glad to see the back of, and I'm happy this year that it was only an advert on the telly. It was that "house party" one from Marks and Sparks. It really got under my skin. It seemed jolly enough to start with. But I found myself wondering fruitlessly what psychological set-up behind the narrative could have been.
A group of women – of widely differing ages, but all attractive – lived together in a gracious home. They had no children, or grandchildren, or any other visible family. They were visited on Christmas Eve by a group of similarly single and attractive men, who stayed over with them, so that they could exchange gifts on Christmas morning. Then they all went out to play in the snow. Why?
Was Twiggy, who opened the door, some kind of dominant force? Were they all living in some futuristic community, where men are men, women are women, and breeding is no longer necessary? Were the ladies more professional than their alluring outfits suggested? Will one of the party, next year, be found murdered in the night? Could this scenario chime with the experience of any M&S shopper? Could it even chime with their fantasies? If it did, then should it have? And so on. This wasn't just Christmas, surely ... this was dark, weird, Patricia Highsmith Christmas.

Channing Tatum Talks Late Night Craziness with Shia LaBeouf in GQ
He's no stranger to a good time, and in the June 2014 issue of GQ magazine (out today!) Channing Tatum admits he and Shia LaBeouf had some pretty wild times while filming "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints" years ago in New York City.
Just before filming commenced, the "Magic Mike" hunk and the "Nymphomaniac" stud got together and hit the town for some brotherly bonding.
Tatum confessed, "Me and Shia, I think we had just met that day. We were, like, 'what shall we go out and do?' We were drinking. And I think our initial thing was 'Alright, let's go out and try and get in a fight!' This was just young dumb idiot actors thinking that that's going to bond us. Because we'll shed blood together blah blah blah. I've never seen him since then. The kid's an incredible actor…I just wish that he would just act. Just act, man!"
"I definitely kicked in a window that night. But it wasn't Barnes and Nobles. Just a window. I was running. We were just running and being hoodlums and throwing trash bags down streets and just being stupid. We were trying to be like eighties hoodlums. And I think as we were running I kicked this thing, not thinking that it would ever shatter. And everything just went raining down. And I was like 'oh sh*t'. And then we just took off running."
"We all split up. I think Shia even punched a cop car—we weren't even sure if the cop was in the car, he punched the window of a cop car. It was pandemonium. It was just one of those nights that the volume just keeps getting turned up, turned up, turned up. And we all split up. We all just ran in opposite directions. I didn't hide under a car, I dove in some trash bags: 'I'm sitting here for a little while'. In hindsight it's the funniest thing in the world—just typical actors trying too hard. It's only fun because we didn't get caught…that I can have perspective on it now and know it was stupid. I don't think we were thinking."

(Inside Lacrosse Photo: Terry Foy)
1Lacrosse topped Jack Lingo Realtors 7-4 to win their second-consecutive Ocean City Lacrosse Classic Elite Atlantic Division on the back of an eight-save performance from game MVP Gunnar Waldt.
Organized by Duke midfielder Deemer Class, the team is comprised mostly of Baltimore-area players and their college teammates, notably including Class's fellow Duke middie Myles Jones. Jones, wearing a chesty GoPro for Inside Lacrosse, opened the scoring with a high-bouncer popping from the crease.
Lingo defenseman Ray Megill nearly got his team on the board, but his end-to-end goal was waved off for being in the crease. Class then fed Austin Stewart for a beautiful turning, righty rip that stayed just under the crossbar. Ryan Brown bounced one home from them righty wing, and Aaron Murphy made it 4-0 about mid-way through the first half.
After the ball spending most of its time at the other end of the field early, Waldt made four beautiful stops to keep the game scoreless through halftime.
Lingo got on the board early in the second half thanks to a goal from Matt Hickman, but Murphy and Brown added to more to open up 1Lacrosse's lead.
Lingo cut it to 6-2 on a pretty falling down lefty shot, but 1Lacrosse FOGO Kevin O'Toole quickly answered. A beautiful dive by Lingo's Maxx Davis cut 1Lacrosse's lead to 7-4 with 3:30 to go. Davis set up Lingo's Brandon Benn for a pretty turning shot that went just high with about :30 to go and that pretty much represented Lingo's last shot.

New Sabah Times was recommended to me by my friend, Joneh, during my recent call for alternative online Malaysian news sources. I've been actively using New Sabah Times for about a week now and have been generally pleased with my browsing experience there. This post is to share my opinions on the New Sabah Times web site.
The layout of the New Sabah Times web site is a typical fixed width, three-columned layout with the main content in the middle. The left-most column holds the navigation bar while the right column holds the contact details (email and mailing address) for the paper. The site's header (or masthead) is a little bland for my tastes, containing three distinct pictures:
- The New Sabah Times logo, which also links to the index page
- A picture of two copies of the newspaper, with an "Advertise on our site" text overlaying them
- A picture of someone browsing the New Sabah Times web site on her notebook
Personally, I feel that the second picture in the masthead could cause confusion. It looks more like a linking image for the advertising department, but serves no such function. Overall, the masthead gives an amateurish feel to the New Sabah Times web site. My advice is, keep the header simple and with minimal colours. The header shouldn't distract the reader from the main content. Check out the headers of these famous news web sites for excellent examples:
The next thing that grabbed my attention, but for the wrong reason; was the horizontal scrolling news ticker. Tickers are irritating and passe. In my opinion, it's better for the New Sabah Times web site to have a "Most Read Today" section or even link to a few random news posts for the day. It makes more sense and have less chance of making readers have epileptic seizures 😉
I also find the third column redundant, the contact info could have been easily been put into the first column, either under of over the navigation menu. It really doesn't take much space to warrant dedicating a whole column just for that information. I also feel that the New Sabah Times web master should take out the link to Blue Hyppo e-browse as they are serving a dead link using the New Sabah Times logo.
I'd really recommend going for a wider layout as the current width feels too cramped. Better still, go for a fluid width template and giving the power to the readers on how they want to read the web site. At the very least, remove the last column and let the main content column take up the freed space, thus making articles more readable.
I like the navigation menu and feel that it has been organised rather well. The only gripe I have about the menu is the Latest News link. It's the exact same page as the main index but having a different URL. I'd remove the link because:
- It's redundant
- It doesn't contribute to the reading experience
- It'll get New Sabah Times punished by search engines for fielding duplicate content
The New Sabah Times Archives page seems to have an identity crisis; is it really an archives page, or is it a search interface? Honestly, I think it fails on both counts but succeeds in making the visitor confused when landing on the page.
The search form layout is the weirdest I've seen in any news web site. The dates selection set is Year-Month-Day, instead of the familiar Day-Month-Year format Malaysians are accustomed to. Being a programmer, I can tell that this is a sign of lazy interface programming. Furthermore, the year dropdown fields are from 2002 to 2012. Can the New Sabah Times report news from the future?!
Additionally, by not having a text input field to query for news containing a specific word of phrase makes the search page pretty much useless for an average reader. People will search for a news item. Nobody cares or remembers the date on which the news was published!
Although the interface and overall look and feel of the New Sabah Times web site leaves much to be desired, I find the news items themselves to be concise and delivered in easy to read paragraph chunks. I've yet to find any glaring spelling or grammar errors for the past week; a sign of quality editing and proofreading.
Another thing that makes me drawn to reading New Sabah Times is that the content has a uniquely Sabahan insight to it. Some of the news items are interesting enough to make me wonder why it wasn't more widely covered in the more mainstream papers from the Peninsula.
The inclusion of Malay and Kadazan Dusun news items can either be seen as "rojak" (a Malay term for mixed-up; resembling a local dish of the same name) or unique. I'm one of those who see it as the latter. Having a multi-lingual news site is not an easy thing to pull off. However, New Sabah Times seems to be managing rather well.
To conclude, I feel that business-wise, New Sabah Times is definitely a regional player with a solid publishing heritage. They seem to have some hiccups implementing an online presence but with some research and observing how the global big boys are doing it, the New Sabah Times web site should be able to pick up a useful thing or two. I'd definitely use it as a source for local news.

Jacksonville rookie wide receiver Justin Blackmon hasn't played a game yet with the Jaguars, but he's already put himself on a short leash with the Jags front office. The top wide receiver in this year's draft made his first appearance in Stillwater, Oklahoma this morning (although he did not enter a plea) following his arrest for DUI early Sunday morning.

Unfortunately and inevitably, it seems, the exciting and energetic soccer seen during the Euro 2012 group phase has dissipated into that nervous, cautious approach that seems to predominate in the
knockout rounds.
Aside from Germany's 4-2 thrashing of Greece, the other four elimination games have produced just three goals. The last two games – Italy's quarterfinal "defeat" of England and Spain's semifinal "triumph" over Portugal -- ended goalless and were decided on penalty kicks, strangely, by that same 4-2 score line as in the German triumph.
I put the verbs in parentheses because FIFA, in its dubious judgment, officially logs those games as ties, though for some reason two sets of players and coaches and fans rejoiced as two other groups mourned. We'll set aisde the luck involved – both teams winning on penalties exploited their opponent hitting the crossbar once – and say that the better team during the 120 minutes prevailed on PKs. We didn't get entertainment but we did get fairness, of a sort.
One can hope the final would produce an open, exhilarating 4-2 game, yet the odds are slim at best and viritually nil if Italy and not Germany progresses. The chances of Germany playing soccer, as opposed to merely trying to survive the Spanish passing Armada, are much better than those of Italy, which is just the type of experienced, clever team – and probably the only team in the world currently – that could knock off both Germany and Spain in the space a few days apart in a major competition.
The Italians clearly outplayed the English, and while that isn't much of a feat these days, the class they exude – personified by elegant playmaker Andrea Pirlo and majestic goalkeeper Gigi Buffon – and the fact they have already tied Spain, 1-1, in the group phase gives their hopes a strong push.
It's ironic for the Germans to be cast as the best hope of a lively 2012 Euro final, because it was they – and not the Italians, for example – who perhaps first came under fire when they played for results. That stigma goes back five or six decades, and is hardly relevant now, seeing as how the likes of Mesut Ozil and Thomas Mueller and Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mario Gomez can get at the other team, and how outside back Philipp Lahm is one of the most dangerous players in the tournament going forward.
Spain waited until overtime to really go at Portugal, a tactic for which coach Vicente del Bosque took a lot of heat, but I didn't see Spain as trying to bore the Portuguese – and the worldwide audience – into falling asleep. Playing on two days' fewer rest – a fact pointed out when the schedule was released but never addressed by UEFA – and knowing overtime and perhaps penalties were a viable possibility, Spain motored along at a moderate pace to conserve energy and control what little threat Portugal presented. Nani had his moments but foraging virtually alone as Spain locked down Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Moutinho, his nation rarely threatened.
"We're the best team in the world and we have the ball," the Spanish persona said to the Portuguese. "Come and get it and do something with it, if you can." Portugal couldn't. Since when is mastery of the ball a drawback?
Spain at times sloppily gave balls away; careless turnovers by Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique when they pushed into midfield could have been costly, but Spain's relatively unheralded yet absolutely vital characteristic – pursuit of possession -- time and time again won those balls back dozens of yards from Iker Casillas' goal.
Some better play by David Silva and a few other players at critical moments would have yielded better shots and perhaps the goal necessary to open up the Portuguese. Jordi Alba played a great game at left back and whipped in a few balls that just didn't click.
Spain's failure to make those moments count, rather than any draconian decree by del Bosque, caused the dreary goalless drought to continue. During that drought the Portuguese tired, so that by the time del Bosque brought on fresh attackers in Cesc Fabregas, Pedro and Jesus Navas, he knew the chances were would come.
Experimenting with forward Alvaro Negredo as a starter didn't pan out; except for some stout hold-up play he didn't much influence the match. A crestfallen Fernando Torres, attired in a warm-up vest he still wore during the penalty-kick shootout, waited for a call that never came. The entire game and perhaps his tenure as national team coach would have blown up in del Bosque's face had Cristiano Ronaldo not badly sliced a rare Portuguese opportunity in the final minutes.
Yet Spain survived and prevailed -- but with 30 minutes' overtime on already tired legs it may not have the energy to dazzle as so many would like Sunday in the final.

I tried to hold out since the moment this was up for sale last night.
I'm in.
I'm not much of a Merlot drinker, but I had the 2003 Hanna Muir Cabernet last night, and it was delish. I can't wait to purchase more, if it comes around again. But there's a 50/50 chance, I may cave in on these also.

Good stuff huh? I didn't try the Merlot, but I did have the blend, and while not as good as the Cab, its solid & @ $15 a bottle I think you can't lose here
Ahhhhh.... a decent break from Woot's Halloween "wines".

Ditto. This one looks too good to pass up!
I hope all of you on the fence will take the leap-the wine is good and you will help simplify my semi-retirement life. A little anecdote. The French consulate in SF arranged a tour in Napa for some visiting winemakers and asked us to be one of the hosts. We served our chard, pinot noir, merlot, and reserve (bord. blend). Of course I mentioned the chard was from the winner of the 76 Paris tasting. The mood gradually went from lots of good natured banter to hushed discussions between a couple of people. One of the staff told me that they 1-couldn't believe how good (and French) the wine tasted, and 2-we had Bordeaux and Burgundy on the same property and made equally good wines from each. Best compliment I ever had, I think.
Okay! After so much contemplation,... I bit on
this one, because of their
2003 Cabernet,which I wished I tasted before the "woot off" because I would have definitely bought more of that delicious wine. Mmm Mmm Good!!
chipgreen wrote:Yes, this one.
Or if completely unaware of how to find the current offer's ship-to list, simply click on the picture of the wine bottles on this page or the main wine.woot page (or click the "I want one" button) and scroll down below the descriptions of the wine(s) to see the ship-to list.
Thank you, chipgreen, but you all miss my point. I did not see (nor think to check) the list of approved in-ship states because New Jersey DOES permit shipping of wines from out-of-state wineries and vendors, without any interference from LCB authorities or any other gov't agencies. It's treated like any other FedEx or UPS shipment, just needs an adult to sign for it. I'm questioning whether this is an oversight on Woot's part and simply wanted to request that they clarify why this is the case, not just have all you guys brush me off as a non-adult or otherwise illiterate. Any ideas why this situation exists? Woot cust service tells me it's up to the individual winery, but reading this thread it appears to be a Woot-wide issue with all wineries.
And "Whassup?" is just a friendly New-Jersey-ism, not anything meant to be disrespectful. I'll endeavor to be more adult-like and less colloquial in my future postings.

The remains of seven Union soldiers unearthed by Hurricane Isabel last September will be reburied in time for Memorial Day, a holiday first observed for the purpose of decorating the graves of the Civil War dead.
The hurricane toppled about a dozen trees at Yorktown National Cemetery, their root systems tearing open graves as they fell. Of the historic site's nearly 2,200 graves, only seven were exposed. A ceremony to rebury the remains is scheduled for Sunday.
''Certainly, given the number of graves that are in the cemetery and the size and age of the trees, in many ways we're fortunate that there wasn't more damage,'' said Mike Litterst, a park spokesman.
Archaeologists and National Park Service officials removed the remains and stored them in a collection area used by curators until repairs to the park were finished. The park suffered $20 million in damage.
''Once we got all that done, we were within a month or two of Memorial Day,'' Mr. Litterst said.
The soldiers to be reburied were first interred in 1866. They will be returned to their gravesites but placed in new coffins modeled on the Civil War versions. The remains include bones and bits of uniforms.
Members of the 1st Texas Infantry, a re-enactment unit, built the pine coffins and will lead Sunday's ceremony. The soldiers will receive full military honors, including a 21-gun salute and a bugler playing taps.
Only about 750 of the soldiers buried in the cemetery have been identified. Tim Smith, the re-enactment unit's captain, called the ceremony particularly important because the soldiers being reburied were unidentified.Continue reading the main story
''It seems like almost a duty'' to honor them, Mr. Smith added, ''because there's no one else to remember them.''Continue reading the main story

Three New Products and Services From Sigma, Panasonic and Adobe Make Your Photo Life Easier
August 1, 2013
Manufacturers from Sigma, Panasonic and Adobe were quite busy overnight, announcing new services, gear and software updates as if it were Christmas in August!
Tech writer Theano Nikitas introduced each new product on our sister site PDNonline, and we're lucky enough to give you the digest here.
First up is Sigma's Lens Mount Conversion Service for its Global Vision lenses.
As the name suggests, beginning on September 2, Sigma will "change out the current mount for a mount of your choice, as long as Sigma makes that particular lens for the mount requested." As Nikitas writes: "When you consider how much photographers invest in lenses, Sigma's pricing seems reasonable enough. Conversions will cost between $80 and $250, depending on the focal length, plus shipping. Sigma estimates the conversion will take about 4 weeks..."
Read the full release.
Next up is Panasonic's retro-looking, magnesium-alloy bodied DMC-GX7 Camera and f/1.2 Micro Four Thirds Fixed Lens:
As Nikitas writes "Panasonic promises [the camera] will deliver better image quality, increased saturation (by 10 percent) and 10 percent higher sensitivity. The sensor offers an improved S/N ratio of 6dB and, with multi-process noise reduction, the new camera may well be able to take advantage of its higher ISO range, which maxes out at 25,600 and can be extended down to a minimum ISO of 125." The GX7 will be ready to ship in September with the body running for about $1,000; and a bundle with the updated 14-42mm lens for $1,100.
Read PDN's Review
And as for the fast f/1.2 Micro Four Thirds Fixed lens, we don't know much from Panasonic's announcement, but here's a sneak peek, with more here.
Finally, Adobe has announcement of its own: Release candidates of Lightroom 5.2 and Adobe Camera Raw 8.2
Nikitas writes: "Lightroom 5, Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Creative Cloud users gain support for additional cameras including the Canon EOS 70D, Fujifilm X-M1, Sony DSC-RX1R and Sony DSC RX100 II, additional lens profiles and bug fixes. A new DNG Converter release candidate is also available." A full list of features and enhancements, as well as download links, is available on labs.adobe.com.

Boris Johnson's decision to approve the demolition of Earls Court exhibition centre and two nearby housing estates was met with fury today.
Residents condemned it as "social engineering" which would force locals to make way for expensive flats. They urged Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles to call in the planning application and said they would go to judicial review if he refused.
This could delay the £8 billion redevelopment of the site, including the West Kensington and Gibbs Green housing estates, by many months.
The Mayor said he was "acutely aware" of the concerns of some residents but added: "I'm reassured by the measures being taken by both councils and the developer to make sure the needs of local people are properly addressed." He said the project would "deliver huge benefits to the area and beyond for years to come".
The plans for the 32-hectare site were passed to Mr Johnson after being approved by Conservative-led Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith and Fulham councils last year.
Developer Capital and Counties want to build four "villages" and a high street and say the plans will create thousands of permanent jobs and 7,600 homes.
Ten per cent of those will be new affordable homes — way below the Mayor's 40 per cent target. A further 10 per cent will be replacement homes for the 761 existing residents.
Diana Belshaw, 51, a nurse from the Gibbs Green estate, said Mr Johnson's decision showed that "he just doesn't care about us". She added: "They just want to get rid of social housing and working-class people."
Labour MP Andy Slaughter said: "This is the Tories' biggest social engineering project, uprooting thousands of low-income Londoners and replacing them with 10 times the number of high-rise luxury flats for overseas and City investors."
The developer has invested in Olympia exhibition centre to help keep business after the art deco Earls Court centre is bulldozed. But Green Assembly member Darren Johnson claimed the project would "wreck the UK's leading position in the events industry".
Hammersmith and Fulham council leader Nicholas Botterill said: "We are offering estate residents some of the best terms ever negotiated in any regeneration scheme in the country."Reuse content

What's Up members?
I'm happy to be a part of Club Wrx. I currently have a 2013 & 2014 WRX sedan. Why have two? No one is not a track car. That would be amazing but that is not the case. I bought My 2013 from Subaru of Smithtown in Long Island and it was a good experience. I love my car and I keep it in Brooklyn, NY where I live. I have an outdoor locked storage yard to keep my car safe. Well the one night I was lazy and parked my car in front of my apartment I woke up to it not where I left it. Yes my car was stolen. The police where no help at all and it's amazing how much time it takes to deal with a stolen car. 3 trips to the DMV and countless hours dealing with Geico. A week after it was stolen I figured I would never see the car again so I called my dealer and put a deposit down on the same car just 2014. Once the car was stolen for 30 days then Geico files the paperwork and shortly after you will get a check for your stolen car. Day 28 I decided that I would pick up my new car because the chances of my car showing up where slim to none. I figured it would have been parted out or halfway to south American in a shipping container by Now. Well go figure they found my car in the Bronx parked on the side if the street on day 29 1/2. I told the detective you got to be ****ing kidding me. Apparently they had found the car week earlier and were sitting on it hoping to catch someone coming back to it. At day 29 1/2 they decided to let me know so it wouldn't go to an insurance claim.The thieves had ripped out my aftermarket navigation system and took the car for a 300 mile joyride. When i went to go see the car it only had a few scratches on it which I had professionally painted and looks amazing. So yes bought two new cars this year and I am looking to sell one of them which I will post shortly on this forum. Getting your car stolen really sucks so for all you people on this forum please protect yourself because it is a ****ty feeling. My car was stolen on September 18th and I am still dealing with it.

Capacitor Distortion
The July 2002 edition of Electronics World/Wireless World has an article entitled 'Capacitor Sound ?' describing a test apparatus for measuring capacitor induced distortion, by Cyril Bateman.
"As a long term capacitor designer and measurement engineer, I believe that any truly audible differences must be understandable and measurable.
Understanding should be in terms of capacitor constructions.
Measurements may however require a change in measuring techniques."
"In order to develop suitable test methods, I have measured large numbers of capacitors of many types.
From these measurements, I have determined the distortion differences between capacitor constructions."
"What I did not expect to find - and I find this rather disturbing - is that within a small batch of capacitors, some exhibit abnormally higher distortions.
These anomalous capacitors typically exhibit some ten times greated distortion than others taped on the same card strip."
His approach is to build a very low distortion (below 1 ppm) 1kHz sinewave oscillator, send that through the on test capacitor and measure the harmonic residuals.
The results are that a 10 nF X7R ceramic capacitor gives -80 dB 2nd harmonic, -60 dB 3rd , -105 db 4th, -85 dB 5th, -110 6th, -100 7th.
10 nF COG ceramic gives -125 dB 3rd, and not measurable other harmonics.
1 uF film/foil polypropylene gives unmeasurable distortion (< -130 dB).

The one and only
This is pretty much to be expected. Ceramic and Tantalum
caps have no business in the signal path.
What is more interesting is that even lowly aluminum
electrolytics measure much better than any semiconductor,
tube or transformer.
It is my opinion that the role of capacitor is overstated
as a source of distortion and sonic degradation.

capacitor distortion will depend on the load impedance and will be biggest around the corner frequency where capacitor and load have the same impedance. A low pass might have lower distortion than a high pass because the harmonics get attenuated. What was the configuration those caps were measured in?
There is a link to the Jung/Marsh article that first explained the load dependence in my thread on sound effects in electrolytics in the electronics and parts forum. Contrary to the load explanation in the first part of their article, they claim that lower load impedance is better sonically because it gets rid of dielectric absorption which they claim to have heard also in PP caps.
Oh, and I have a thread in the loudspeaker forum on distortion in ferrite and iron core coils. That seems to be largely unexplored territory still.

Snowball Effect
Hi Nelson, isn't the audible effect of the combined distortions of series stages additive or multiplicative according to the nature of the distortions of each of the amplification stages (ie harmonic and/or imd distorting stages) and causing an avalance effect that could cause low levels of (coupling capacitor) distortion early in the chain to become more distinctly audible at the end of the chain ?.

Hi Eric
If you have any form of nonlinearity in an amplifier stage (or whatever) this will tend to generate intermodulation products between all frequencies present.
When our now distorted signal approaches another nonlinear stage there will again be IMD products generated between the original signal components, between the original signal components and the "old" IMD products, and between the "old" IMD products as well.
The more stages, the more the sound will be "muddied" with "information" that wasn't there originally.
This is at least what I am convinced of.
P.S. I also read the article in EW&WW and I am impatiently awaiting the second part.

Hi all,
Have any time I advertise to all diyaudio about this series of articles, and I say that hurry to buy EW&WW.
Is a set of six articles, and I have the opportunity of see a sinopsis of all the work.
Really I think that are the definitive work about capacitors. All the people interesting in this topic need read.
Happy days,

NAIM AUDIO uses lots of Tantal pearls IN the signal path of the preamps and Xovers for many years now - with a lot of success, I would say. Electrolytics should be DC biased properly, and the relieability problem can probably be subdued with the right supplier.
But, although I diagree Nelson in that respect, he is defintely right in respect that the role of the semiconductors concerning sound degradation.
I tried several "cheap" and small electrolytics soundwise in the last days and was astonished how good they can sound - sometimes even better alone than bypassed with foil-caps !

Various experiments I have done with capacitors have demonstrated that very complex phenomenon can occur under particular conditions. Dielectric abnormal behaviour is know long since (1850 ?) and has been studied in the 1940's.
The simple measurement of harmonic distorsion under sinus voltage is irrelevant. As written by Mr Pass, these measures shows simply that semiconductors and transformers are more "distortionous".
Extended listening tests prove that sound degradation is clearly audible, even when measured THD is as low as -120 dB, which is not the case with transformers, by exemple. Triode amplifier with interstage transformer coupling sound better than capacitor coupling ones, although measured THD is the same, or higher.
In film capacitors, I suspect that surface acoustic wawes can travel along or across the wrapped (rolled ?) film, causing some sort of reverberation like a (bad quality) delay line. Such phenomenon cann't occur in paper-oil capacitors, because of damping caused by oil viscosity. (This can be an explanation for the various mixtures sold (very expensive) to improve (?) sound quality by simply painting or coating capacitors, or even other devices).
Another surprising thing is the response of the capacitor to the acoustic pressures : audible sound quality difference is noticed when passive filters are moved from inside to outside of a loudspeaker cabinet...

Voltage generated by cap like condenser mic.
Also, as far as ceramics are concerned, X7R's and especially Z5U's have a great variation of capacitance with voltage. Have a look at the graph attached. I think they were 50v caps. I originally did this measurement because I wanted a snubber cap to go across a Hexfet in a SMPS that would have a high value as the fet turned off to give the greatest snubbing, but reduce it's value as the voltage rose so I wouldn't have to dump so much energy when it is discharged every cycle. But I digress...
In regard to what Capslock says, if the voltage across the capacitor is changing because it has a significant reactance compared to it's load e.g. in an active filter, then if that voltage change varies the capacitance the excess energy won't disappear, it think would have to be added/subtracted to the output voltage thereby distorting it.

When you experiment pressure with your fingers, it's a quasi-static pressure. But what occurs with dynamic pressure (sound) ? I have in project to experiment this with a small enclosure and suitable driver. I suppose that resonnances can magnify parasitic voltages by several order of magnitude, with appreciable ringing on short pulses. This may be audible on particular music, such percussions. Try and listen...

2009 marked the bicentennials of the births of Abraham Lincoln and his first vice president, Hannibal Hamlin of Maine. To observe the anniversary, Paris Hill, where Hamlin was born and raised, honored the native statesman and recalled both his early life in the community and the mark he made on Maine and the nation.
Harry Lyon: An Old Sea Dog Takes to the Air
Through a chance meeting, Harry Lyon of Paris Hill became the navigator on the 1928 flight of the Southern Cross, the first trans-Pacific flight. His skill as a navigator, despite his lack of experience, was a key factor on the flight's success.
Fashionable Maine: early twentieth century clothing
Maine residents kept pace with the dramatic shift in women's dress that occurred during the short number of years preceding and immediately following World War I. The long restrictive skirts, stiff collars, body molding corsets and formal behavior of earlier decades quickly faded away and the new straight, dropped waist easy-to-wear clothing gave mobility and freedom of movement in tune with the young independent women of the casual, post-war jazz age generation.

Exercise regularly
Research shows that regular physical activity may help reduce stress and depression. And even short bouts of exercise can give you a boost. The reasons are not clear but it may be that exercise promotes the release of feel-good endorphins in the brain. Shoot for at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, which you can break up into smaller intervals if that's more convenient. Take a 15-minute walk at lunch and another when you get home from work, and you've met your goal.

Digital billboard push ramps up in Indianapolis
Outdoor advertisers want Indianapolis to lift its decade-old ban on digital billboards.
Clear Channel Outdoor hopes to convert up to 30 of its more than 1,200 Marion County billboards to digital formats. The Indianapolis Business Journal reports Clear Channel is lobbying for an ordinance that would require companies to remove an equivalent amount of billboards for each new digital sign.
A 2007 Indiana law allows digital billboards in areas where they aren't banned. The billboards have appeared in other central Indiana counties since then, and Clear Channel has digital billboards at the state-owned Indiana State Fairgrounds.
The city's 2003 ban on digital billboards stems from concerns about safety and digital clutter.
Industry officials say those arguments are outdated.

This recipe reminds me of the wonderful, crispy fried chicken my mother used to make for Sunday dinner. Flaxseed, olive oil and skinless chicken make it a healthier version.
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup crushed cornflakes
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), skin removed
- Place olive oil in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, cornflake crumbs, flaxseed, seasoned salt and pepper. Dip chicken into oil, then coat with crumb mixture.
- Arrange chicken in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Yield: 4 servings.

|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The schedule-makers have done the Red Sox no favors right now. After visiting Tampa Bay and New York, it does not get any easier as they return home for a four-game set with the AL Central leading Tigers. The Red Sox have few days off and lots of potential playoff teams in the mix in the upcoming weeks as well. This is an absolutely bad time for them to be slumping like they are as a group. The Red Sox are 3-0 against the Tigers, having swept them in Detroit earlier this season. The teams meet this week for the final time this regular season.
Brad Penny (5-2, 4.72 ERA, 1.49 WHIP at home this season) opens the series against Edwin Jackson (8-5, 2.62, 1.12 in 2009), one of the most improved players from last season. Junichi Tazawa will make his first career major league start, becoming the ninth pitcher to start a game for the Sox this season, against Rick Porcello (0-1, 4.1 IP, 3 ER, 8 H, 2 K, 1 BB vs Red Sox) in the second game. In the third game, Josh Beckett (1-0, 7.2 IP, 3 R, 0 ER, 2 H, 9 K, 2 BB against the Tigers) takes the mound for a re-match against hard throwing Armando Galarraga (0-1, 7.o IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 2 K, 2 BB). Finally, Clay Buchholz (1-2, 5.33, 1.97), hopefully the one that pitched well against the Yankees, faces Justin Verlander (12-6, 3.45, 1.19).
Fernando Rodney has been solid as the closer, going 23-24 with a 3.86 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 8.45 K/9. He gets the job done, but with some excitement from time to time.
The Tigers offense is average, but playig half of their games in Comerica Park and having gotten very little out of Mangglio Ordonez (.267 BA, 6 HR, 34 RBI, 39 R) for most of the season will help mute the offensive production. Miguel Cabrera is quietly having another great campaign with a .330 BA, 23 HR, 24 doubles, 63 R, and 67 RBI. Curtis Granderson knows how to fill up the stat sheet as well: .261, 22 HR, 67 R, 52 RBI, 20 SB. The Tigers will strike out a fair amount, so getting ahead of their hitters will be a key for the pitching staff.
The Red Sox looked absolutely horrible, especially offensively, in New York. With Detroit's pitching, especially Verlander, the offense will continue to be tested. The Red Sox, barring a collective recovery, should continue to sputter and take one a single game.

Tryst with Destiny
|This article possibly contains original research. (September 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
"Tryst with Destiny" was a speech delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, to the Indian Constituent Assembly in The Parliament, on the eve of India's Independence, towards midnight on 15 August 1947. It focuses on the aspects that transcend India's history. It is considered to be one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century[1] and to be a landmark oration that captures the essence of the triumphant culmination of the largely non-violent Indian independence struggle against the British Empire in India.
Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now that time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity with some pride. At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries which are filled with her striving and the grandeur of her successes and her failures. Through good and ill fortunes alike she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength. We end today a period of ill fortunes and India discovers herself again. The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future? Freedom and power bring responsibility. That responsibility rests upon this assembly, a sovereign body representing the sovereign people of India. Before the birth of freedom we have endured all the pains of labour and our hearts are heavy with the memory of this sorrow. Some of those pains continue even now. Nevertheless, the past is over and it is the future that beckons to us now. That future is not one of ease or resting but of incessant striving so that we might fulfill the pledges we have so often taken and the one we shall take today. The service of India means the service of the millions who suffer. It means the ending of poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity. The ambition of the greatest man of our generation has been to wipe every tear from every eye. That may be beyond us, but so long as there are tears and suffering, so long our work will not be over. And so we have to labour and to work, and work hard, to give reality to our dreams. Those dreams are for India, but they are also for the world, for all the nations and people are too closely knit together today for anyone of them to imagine that it can live apart. Peace has been said to be indivisible; so is freedom, so is prosperity now, and so also is disaster in this One World that can no longer be split into isolated fragments. To the people of India, whose representatives we are, we make an appeal to join us with faith and confidence in this great adventure. This is no time for petty and destructive criticism, no time for ill will or blaming others. We have to build the noble mansion of free India where all her children may dwell. The appointed day has come - the day appointed by destiny - and India stands forth again, after long slumber and struggle, awake, vital, free and independent. The past clings on to us still in some measure and we have to do much before we redeem the pledges we have so often taken. Yet the turning point is past, and history begins anew for us, the history which we shall live and act and others will write about. A new star rises, the star of freedom in the east, a new hope comes into being, a vision long cherished materializes. May the star never set and that hope never be betrayed by. On this day our first thoughts go to the architect of this freedom, the father of our nation, who, embodying the old spirit of India, held aloft the torch of freedom and lighted up the darkness that surrounded us.We have often been unworthy followers of his and have strayed from his message. We shall never allow that torch of freedom to be blown out, however high the wind or stormy the tempest. We have hard work ahead. There is no resting for any one of us till we redeem our pledge in full, till we make all the people of India what destiny intended them to be. We are citizens of a great country, on the verge of bold advance, and we have to live up to that high standard. All of us, to whatever religion we may belong, are equally the children of India with equal rights, privileges and obligations. And to India, our much-loved motherland, the ancient, the eternal and the ever-new, we pay our reverent homage and we bind ourselves afresh to her service. Jai Hind.Jai Hind

Or do think that the guys who didn't set a time will have an advantage if the race has similar conditions? Reply Report abuse 6 agree 2 disagree
