Little India visits the Louisiana State University campus in Baton Rouge after the media lights have dimmed.
In the laundromat of Lousiana State University's Edward Gay Apartments complex in Baton Rouge is a small stool on which sits a simple clay pot. The sole flower in the potted plant has already wilted. Tacked to the wall above it is a rudimentary paper sign pasted over aluminum foil, a valiant effort no doubt to create the effect of a plaque - of sorts.
"It was a madhouse," Dheeraj Reddy, who serves as incoming student coordinator of the LSU-ISA admits. "We were right in the middle of exams when it happened." He frowns. "I'd seen Kiran a few days ago and suddenly the phone's ringing off the hook with strangers asking for a comment, personal stories about them." He scratches the stubble covering his face. "It felt like an invasion and we weren't ready for it. I don't think anyone ever is."
Komma was strangled with a computer cable. Both men were shot in the head. But where the crime took place shocked nearly as much as its brutality. A college is thought to be a safe zone, a haven of sorts from the troubles beyond its boundaries. But LSU is surrounded by one of the worst neighborhoods in Baton Rouge, an area still rocked by the after effects of Hurricane Katrina, grappling with not only an influx of the homeless and unemployed, but the accompanying crime that follows disasters. Burglaries on campus quadrupled between 2004 and 2006.
School shootings are an unpleasant fact of life in this country. America is often at its graceful best, however, in its response to such tragedies. Pres. Geroge Bush and his wife Laura mourned with students at a convocation ceremony at Virginia Tech University the day after the massacre of 30 students in April there. The LSU killings occurred just as most students were preparing to head home for their winter break; the memorial services organized by the ISA were relatively low key. But in the glare of the media attention there were many promises: of providing support to the victims' families; of apprehending the killers; of improving campus security.
But as the campus stirred back to life at the start of the winter term in January after the public attention had dimmed, it is striking just how easily LSU has shrugged off the tragedy that seemed so riveting in its immediate aftermath.
And perhaps nothing symbolized that calousness and indifference as much as that crude memorial tucked inside a laundromat.
The investigation into the double homicide seems to have hit a dead end. And students remain wary about campus security. The university had announced a Komma and Allam Support Fund soon after the tragedy, but Little India could not prod any information from its public affairs office on just how much had been raised or disbursed from that fund.
"You used to feel safe on campus," says Dheeraj Reddy, a LSU student and incoming student coordinator of the ISA. We're sitting on the steps of the Computer Science building, a popular hangout for Indians. "You can't say that now."
The New Yorker in me was struck by the insularity pervasive among the different campus groups. The steps of the LSU Student Union, where Komma used to pull all-nighters, are teeming with West coast girls appraising outsiders with the cutting looks of the inner circle. The students smoking outside Tiger Stadium, where Allam, a huge basketball fan, would go to catch games, are divided by race and ethnicity. When I draw attention to this, Kavalipati is surprisingly matter-of-fact.
"This is the South," he says, as Reddy nods knowingly. "There's always going to be that separation. It's a fact of life. You can't get hung up on it."
"Because there are fewer Indians, finding each other means more," Kavalipati says. "They're the only ones who get what you're going through, how scary it can be to come here alone."
Kavalipati moved here from India a year and a half ago with no family, only a rudimentary grasp of English, and little experience in navigating the currents of American society. It was either sink-or-swim, and he recalls his panic. That's where the ISA came in. "The seniors helped me with everything from finding a place to stay to the best places for biryani. I'm from Hyderabad, so that was important," he says with a smile.
LSU is host to 332 Indian students, almost a quarter of all foreign students on campus and by far the largest number from any single country. Kavalipati speaks fondly of Komma's kindness toward him during the first days. "He'd been here for nearly five years at that point, so he knew what I was going through," he says. "He introduced me to his friends and offered to help in any way he could."
Komma was his inspiration when the time came to select new members of the organizing committee, to help out new incoming students. Kavalipati is the current president of the organization.
As I enter the modest apartment he shares with Reddy, it's hard not to remember my own college digs. Similarities abound: a messy jumble of second-hand furniture, stereo equipment and humming laptops. But what quickly becomes apparent in talking to them is the difference in their mentality as foreign students.
Like Kavalipati, neither Komma nor Allam had access to that ticket, so, at least in the beginning, it made them vulnerable. But, as I listen to the way they finish each other's sentences and move through their daily routines with the ease of a married couple, I realize something else: When you do find someone like you, that bond becomes precious - a lifeline to the world outside.
K. Srinivas Reddy, Komma's brother, in a telephone conversation from Kadpa district in Andhra Pradesh, recalls: "It wasn't easy for him. But he never once complained. For him it was a life's chance, for the whole family. Problems could never change that."
"As Indians you have to establish yourself as superior to the locals," says Dr. S. Sitharama Iyengar, chairman of the Computer Sciences Department and faculty advisor to the ISA. "It's the only way, and that means tremendous sacrifice. I don't look at it as a double standard. It's just the way the system works." Iyengar, who is a nationally recognized scholar in his field, has been through the ringer himself. His goals today revolve not around the hard business of survival, but the management of the department, the Wireless Sensor Networks Laboratory and the Robotics Research Laboratory. And while he is all too eager to speak of his present research, the topic of the shootings hits a little too close to home.
No immigrant ever leaves the struggling years completely behind, and what happened is a stark reminder that the price can sometimes be too high to bear. "It was a heinous act," he says, still shaken. "For decent boys to meet a tragedy like this...it should never have occurred."
"They were living in the worst part of campus," Kavalipati says plainly. "Should they be blamed for it? Back home, if you saw someone working at a restaurant, you'd lift your nose up, thinking it's the best he could do. But it's different here."
Outside the shadows are lengthening, and the lights of oncoming cars pulse against the windows. "Here you do whatever you have to, to get by. And you respect anyone else doing the same."
In the wake of the shootings, the national spotlight was turned on Baton Rouge as people struggled to understand the senseless, and point fingers. The school came under fire after an emergency text-messaging system failed, at least partially, to deliver news of the murders to subscribers. University officials blamed the service provider, clearTXT Inc., citing a "registration problem" that they say has since been resolved.
"That was really a foolish thing," admits Kavalipati. "The ISDS Department (Information Systems & Decision Sciences) was testing this service out, and the shooting was the first time they tried it."
"Most places on campus require I.D. cards just to enter the premises," says Kavalipati. "90 percent of the residents at Edward Gay have families with kids. Yet they had nothing."
At times, what's lost in the shuffle to place blame are the victims themselves. Padma Allam, Kiran Allam's aunt in Karimnagar district, Andhra Pradesh, remembers her nephew as a devoted family man. "I'd never seen someone more in love with [the idea of] being a father," she says. "He'd come to visit me, and if there were children around, he was with them, playing. When he found out he was going to be a father...any hardship he had was fine. It was for the child now."
It's dark by the time I leave Kavalipati and Reddy's apartment. Perhaps a part of me was delaying on purpose, putting off the trip I knew I had to make to the site of the murders. What remained of the levity in the room has been sucked out in tandem with the fading sunlight.
It takes 20 minutes to walk from their apartment, located close to the university's core, to Edward Gay, and the difference is shocking. You get what you pay for at LSU, and those unable to afford better get the dregs. A gravel road without streetlights leads to the two residential buildings. No gate. No visible cameras. No security. It is, for all intents and purposes, a housing project. As I reach the first set of apartments, I keep expecting to run into the new safety measures touted by the school.
In an interview earlier, Detective David Heroman of the LSU Police Department, cited the presence of a community police officer at the apartments between 7 p.m. and 3 a.m. I visited well after 7 p.m. and saw no one except a resident fixing his car in the parking lot. Heroman also said the college was in the process of installing closed-circuit cameras, but even after I had spent nearly an hour roaming the area, going up to apartment doors and snapping pictures, no one questioned my presence. Except for a few seemingly new signs advertising the fact that regular LSU-PD patrols monitor the area, there is no indication that anything untoward had taken place there nor any suggestion of any security measures to prevent it from happening again.
The place feels abandoned, but it isn't. In the pitch-black of the parking lot, where the suspects supposedly sat in the cabin of an Oldsmobile Aero sizing up their potential victims, resident Omer Soysal was unloading groceries from the trunk of his car.
Campus security is an issue all universities keep under tight wraps. Few students, least of all those moving from other countries, check publicly available campus crime statistics. In 2006, the most current data on file, LSU reported 53 burglaries in its residence halls, a fivefold increase since 2004. In 2006, there were two aggravated assaults and one arson in the residence halls.
When I bring up the subject of Komma and Allam, Soysal's frustration only intensifies. "I don't think anyone here could have imagined people getting killed. But look around." He gestures to the glowing strip of Highland Road, a main circuit cable feeding the worst of the city directly into campus.
"We have nothing against that. Swapna [Kiran's wife] was going to have a baby. Does this look like a good place to raise one? I'd tell anyone with a family to find another place to live."
Detective Heroman declined comment on the lack of cameras and patrols at the apartments, one of only two on campus for graduate family housing. Like most officials involved in the case, he's a master at staying on message: "There is a steady progress in the investigation that is being made at this time."
Despite a coordinated effort between the LSU Police, Baton Rouge Police Department, Louisiana State Police and East Baton Rouge Sheriff's office, new leads seem to have dried up. On Jan 3, a local resident Dallas Joseph Staden was charged with criminal mischief after police determined that he had supplied them with false information, resulting in thousands of wasted man-hours on the case during a critical period immediately following the shootings.
Spokesmen for the various task forces insist that the lapse of time is not all that crucial in a murder investigation. That what is now being rumored to be not two, but possibly four suspects comes with the territory. That a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest by Christmas Day, since downgraded to a paltry $1,000, is enough of an enticement for someone to come forward.*
Baton Rouge is settling for different priorities. There are, for instance, the inauguration ceremonies for the would-be savior of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, which cost, according to his press secretary Melissa Sellers, "a few hundred thousand dollars."
"He's cautious," says Iyengar. "And he has a big hat to wear. I think he believes that if he made too big of a fuss over this, people would think he only cares about Indians." I ask him if he shares that outlook. "Just as a human being, he had a responsibility to spend some time here, to try and understand what's been going on. These are the people in his backyard. They deserve attention."
Rajaiah Allam, Kiran's father, is a man beyond recovery. During a telephone conversation from Karimnagar, he frequently drifts into random topics, as though unable to focus on the subject of his son directly. "You live through your children," he says. "Any happiness is theirs. And now he's gone."
The day after the murders, the ISA held a small memorial service for Komma and Allam. Attended by over 300 people, it was the start of an ongoing commitment not just on the part of the organization, but the entire campus, to never forget them. Black ribbons, placed on the lapels of jackets and on Facebook profiles, have come to represent solidarity with the families. For a place where divisions run deep, the shootings have become a potent reminder of the larger community at LSU and the urgent need to forge ties to strengthen it.
For those closest to the men on campus, the hardest part won't be remembering, but rather, letting go of the "what ifs."
"My friend was going to meet them," Kavalipati says. "But he was 10 minutes late. By the time he got there...it was already over. And now all he can think about is how, if he had only been on time, they might still be alive." He shakes his head. "It's no good to think like that, but what else can you do?"
As I walk through the playground for the children living in the Edward Gay Apartments and sift through a pile of cast-off furnishings stacked against a corner of the building, I realize how tempting it would be to imagine a different outcome... and how futile. For even if Kavalipati's friend had made it, getting them out in time, the suspects would have still been out in the pitch-black of the parking lot, deciding on their next victim. It wouldn't have mattered whether they were Indian or not, whether their second-generation background gave them the pleasant illusion of greater safety, whether they believed in the American Dream or were simply trying to get by. Someone was going to die.
Despite protestations to the contrary, the LSU administration found it acceptable to shuffle foreigners into substandard and unsafe housing, banking on the conviction that they'd not protest. According to LSU housing data, 94% of the residents at the Edward Gay Apartments were foreign students. A month after the murders, almost nothing had been done to make the apartment complex any more secure.
"Things have got to change," says Soysal. "Because it's just going to get worse."
As hard as I might try to imagine that the fact that Komma and Allam were brown foreigners has nothing to do with the indifference I sensed in Baton Rouge, I can't. As much as I might try to understand the political imperitive that caused Jindal to ignore their plight, I can't.
I suspect that the potted plant in the makeshift memorial too has withered completely by now.
*On Jan 30, the LSU Task Force informed Little India that the reward money for information on the muder had been increased back to $5,000, thanks to an anonymous donor.
You get what you pay for at LSU, and those unable to afford better get the dregs. A gravel road without streetlights leads to the two residential buildings. No gate. No visible cameras. No security. It is, for all intents and purposes, a housing project. As I reach the first set of apartments, I keep expecting to run into the new safety measures touted by the school.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX hits 2-year high as gold miners climb
TORONTO, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index closed at its highest level in more than two years on Thursday, led by gold miners, as the ill-effects of a 16-day U.S. government shutdown convinced investors the Federal Reserve will maintain its monetary stimulus. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed up 79.15 points, or 0.61 percent, at 13,036.36. It had not been that buoyant since late July, 2011.

Uganda and Italy dialogue
ROME, Italy, February 5, 2013/African Press Organization (APO)/ — Minister Terzi met today at the foreign ministry in Rome with his Ugandan colleague Sam Kutesa in the margins of the meeting "New approaches to the Security Council reform". Central to their discussions was satisfaction for the excellent trend in bilateral relations, not least in the wake of the recent visits by government delegations to Kampala for October's 50th anniversary of Uganda's independence, and a Ugandan delegation led by Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi to Rome in December.
Minister Terzi defined Uganda as "an essential partner for Italy in Sub-Saharan Africa", and underscored Italian businesses' lively interest in the economic opportunities offered by that African nation, particularly in the energy field. The two ministers agreed, in that regard, on the advisability of accelerating negotiations for the signing of a memorandum on collaboration between SMEs, in the conviction that such an instrument could promote further growth in economic relations.
Terzi and Kutesa also exchanged views on the world's regional crises.

Bullying and Harassment: Thin Line and Thin Ice
An expert on legal issues in school transportation discusses the distinction between bullying and harassment and offers best practices for dealing with both on the bus.
In 2006, Dr. Nan D. Stein, senior research scientist at the Center for Research on Women at Wellesley College in Massachusetts, wrote that "eradicating bullies is … all the rage with state legislators and consultants" (National School Boards Association's Leadership Insider, August 2006).
Five years later, bullying is a centerpiece of national and state school transportation conferences. The fact that such behavior creates a barrier to learning, and, too often, media headlines shout the tragic aftermath of relentless bullying at the hands – and computers – of a student's peers, certainly justifies our interest.
As of October 2010, 44 states had adopted "bullying" statutes requiring a variety of actions by school districts. Such legislation testifies to the attention this serious problem is receiving. But Dr. Stein observed in 2006 that, "School boards and administrators should consider whether they have been too quick to embrace the anti-bullying movement and, in so doing, to abandon the anti-harassment focus."
Related Article: Tackling School Bus Bullying
And, on Feb. 9, 2011, testifying at a hearing in Massachusetts instigated by that state's Commission to Review Statutes Relative to Implementation of the School Bullying Law in Massachusetts, Dr. Stein cautioned that "federal civil rights laws trump bullying frameworks which can work to gloss over harassment concerns that amount to federal civil rights violations."
When is a "bully" a "harasser"? Does it matter? It may, if Dr. Stein's concerns are valid. School districts have significant responsibilities under federal anti-discrimination laws that prohibit "harassment" based on race, color, national origin, disabilities or sex. Often, the lines between bullying and harassment are blurred.
If the "bullying" label is misused, leading school officials to overlook the legal mandate for investigation and, where harassment is identified, implementation of an effective remedy that complies with federal law, then the label that's applied to the conduct can be important.
That was the point of an Oct. 26, 2010, "Dear Colleague" letter that the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights sent to all school districts. The letter noted that "by limiting its response to a specific application of its anti-bullying disciplinary policy, a school may fail to properly consider whether the student misconduct also results in discriminatory harassment."
Where is the line, however thin, between bullying and harassment? You can, in fact, be on thin ice if you don't recognize that the label applied must not improperly limit the response made to the conduct. And, given the long-standing disconnect that too often characterizes school administrators' attention to incidents on the bus, what must school offi cials and school transportation professionals do about bullying and harassment on the school bus?
What can we learn from litigation?
A brief review of a sampling of cases of bullying and harassment on the school bus yields some fairly clear messages.
When kindergartner Jacqueline Fitzgerald's parents sued a Barnstable, Mass., school district for its handling of allegations that boys made the little girl lift up her dress and touched her inappropriately on the school bus, the case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In June 2009, the case settled for $150,000, soon after the Supreme Court had cleared the way for the case to go back to the trial court for further exploration into the school district's handling of the complaint in the first instance, and its investigatory procedures (despite what appeared to be reasonable response on the part of the district).
In January 2010, the U.S. Justice Department orchestrated a $1.475 million settlement with the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (Tenn.) in response to a lawsuit stemming from a 19-year-old emotionally disturbed student's sexual assault on Gilberto Lopez, a 9-year-old with autism, on an unmonitored special-education bus. A key issue in the case was the district's failure to share information with the transportation department about its knowledge of the older student's previous predatory sexual behavior with younger students. The special-needs routing coordinator placed the two students on the same bus, unknowingly, with a substitute driver who knew nothing of their disabilities, and less about what to do when she saw "something inappropriate" occur between them on the bus.
In an August 2005 New York case, a 13-year-old eighth-grader with disabilities was the victim of repeated instances of being called "stupid," "idiot," "retard" and other insults, and acts of "physical aggression and intimidation," by students both in school and on the school bus. After the first incident on the bus, the boy's mother sought out both the superintendent and the director of transportation; allegedly, neither got back to her. School officials failed to take any action despite the boy and his mother reporting each incident.

A 2007 Indiana case was "the culmination of two school years of bullying and defendants' perceived lack of response to the bullying." Among the defendants were the school corporation and an independent contractor who provided transportation to district students. Allegedly, the district was well aware that S.S., a middle school boy, was being bullied on the basis of sexual orientation. The bully started antagonizing the boy's sister after she sought help from the driver. When S.S. tried to come to his sister's defense, a fight ensued. The driver "never physically intervened to stop the altercation; he only looked in his rearview mirror and ordered the students to stop." Both the victim and the bully were given in-school suspensions by school administrators. The court found that the district failed to follow its own policies about threatened violence and bullying, and that this failure led to a severe and pervasive "campaign of harassment."

IBO champ Fonfara not impressed
By Przemek Garczarczyk
Photo: Team Fonfara
IBO light heavyweight champion Andrzej Fonfara (23-2, 13 KO) went to Brooklyn to see with his own eyes what the competition in his division is all about. Watching Bernard Hopkins beating Tavoris Cloud from the ringside seats in Barclays Center, the 25-year-old was not impressed. "I wanted to see them both fighting live, so I decided to fly from Chicago and watch Hopkins and Cloud in Brooklyn. Not impressed. I thought that Cloud would win, impose his will and just move Hopkins around. He didn't do that at all, was very predictable, attacking the same way from round one to round twelve.
"It was not an exciting fight. Especially the beginning. The first three or four rounds were just boring. Hopkins won all the middle rounds, Cloud was trying to do something late in the fight, but he was to systematic, his punches didn't scare B-Hop at all. Yes, Tavoris connected a couple of times, but every time he did Hopkins just hit him back. The difference between me and those two fighters is simple – I have power. You don't just shrug off my punches like nothing happened. This would be the difference if I would fight them," stated "Polish Prince," who attended event wearing a special T-shirt proclaiming that he could defeat both Hopkins and Cloud in one night.

BFG needs the extra money to add about 80 new Iceland outlets to its network, expand delivery services from its Booker cash-and-carry outlets and rejig the way it distributes groceries to customers who want their orders delivered.
There have been persistent suggestions that Iceland will have to bolster its finances through a rights issue. But on Wednesday, chief executive Bill Grimsey will kill off the idea. Instead, he will outline plans to sell some of BFG's properties and then lease them back.
It is thought that the manouevre could raise around £150m. The company's balance sheet valued its property portfolio at just over £300m. On top of that, Grimsey is expected to signal that he is prepared to tap the bond markets to raise further money.
BFG will also give a progress report on how trading is going at its 760 Iceland stores. Investors suspect the figures will show that the company had a poor start to the year. It is already known that the frozen-food chain struggled in December and January.

I just received a new holster from desbeinsgunleather and it is resting right now with the sig in it to form it. What a nice piece! It can be worn in 3 different positions by simply changing the belt clips. IWB, OWB, and IWB tuckable. I normally carry my Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry, but on occasion grab the "little" Sig. This gun leather is outstanding and I highly recommend his work.

Chevy truck question
How hard would it be to put a 54 chevy pickup body on a 56 chevy frame?
They are completely different. The 56 is much wider for instance.
Find the correct frame and sell the 56. Or make one from scratch, it would be easier than trying to use the 56.
What is wrong with your 54 frame?
This is not my truck. A customer came to me with an early 55 5 window that he has on a 4wd chassis and he hates the fact that its 4wd. He has a 56 frame that has been blasted and painted with a newly rebuilt engine and trans. ready to go. I was wondering about swapping the truck body that he likes on to his frame. I've heard that an s10 is an easy swap but not sure what year or long bed short bed etc.
S10 is a good choice we use the long cab standard box(when you can find them) wheels base will need to be lengthened. cab mounts will need to be fab'd and the front steer makes some fab issues on the core support (steering box is ahead of the cross member) Our shop has done several of these trucks another choice is a mid 70's Camaro front sub frame

Why There's Life On Mars
Friday, August 07 2009 @ 09:00 AM CDT Views: 3,830
By Babu G. Ranganathan
In the Earth's past there was powerful volcanic activity which could have easily spewed dirt containing microbes into outer space which eventually could have reached Mars. A Newsweek article of September 21, 1998, p.12 mentions exactly this possibility.
"We think there's about 7 million tons of earth soil sitting on Mars", says (evolutionist) Kenneth Nealson. "You have to consider the possibility that if we find life on Mars, it could have come from the Earth" [Weingarten, T., Newsweek, September 21, 1998, p.12]. Furthermore, MIT scientist Dr. Walt Brown (a creationist) in his book In The Beginning points out that during the great Genesis flood, as recorded in the Bible, the fountains of the deep that were let loose could have easily spewed out meteors and meteorites into space that very well may have contained micro-organisms such as bacteria.
In the midst of all the arguments over evolution and intelligent design, it is amazing how many in society, including the very educated, believe that scientists had already created life in the laboratory. No such thing has ever happened.
All that scientists have done is genetically engineer already existing forms of life in the laboratory, and by doing this scientists have been able to produce new forms of life, but they did not produce these new life forms from non-living matter. Even if scientists ever do produce life from non-living matter it will only be through intelligent design or planning so it still wouldn't help support any theory of life originating by chance or evolution.
Even in the case involving synthetic (artificial) life, scientists don't actually create or produce life itself from non-living matter. What scientists do in this case is create (by intelligent design) artificial DNA (genetic instructions and code) which is then implanted into an already existing living cell and, thereby, changing that cell into a new form of life. And, again, even if scientists ever do create a whole living cell from scratch (and not just its DNA) it still would not be by chance but by intelligent design. Synthetic life is just another form of genetic engineering. But God was the first genetic engineer. Remember that always!
If the cell had evolved it would have had to be all at once. A partially evolved cell cannot wait millions of years to become complete because it would be highly unstable and quickly disintegrate in the open environment, especially without the protection of a complete and fully functioning cell membrane.
Although it has been shown that the basic building blocks of life, amino acids, can come into existence by chance, it has never been shown that the various amino acids can come together into a sequence by chance to form protein molecules. If the amino acids are not in the proper sequence the protein molecules will not function! Even the simplest cell is composed of millions of protein molecules.
There is no innate chemical tendency for the various amino acids to bond with one another in a sequence. Any one amino acid can just as easily bond with any other. The only reason at all for why the various amino acids bond with one another in a precise sequence in the cells of our bodies is because they're directed to do so by an already existing sequence of molecules found in our genetic code.
In Nature there are what scientists call right-handed and left-handed amino acids. However, life requires that all proteins be left-handed. So, not only do millions of amino acids have to be in the correct sequence, they also all have to be left-handed. If a right-handed amino acid gets mixed in then the protein molecules won't function. There won't be any life!
Similarly, the nucleic acids in DNA and RNA must be in a precise sequence. The sugar molecules that make-up the various nucleic acids in DNA and RNA must be right-handed. If a nucleic acid with a left-handed sugar molecule gets into the mix then nothing will work.
The cell seems to be irreducibly complex. For example, without DNA there can be no RNA, and without RNA there can be no DNA. And without either DNA or RNA there can be no proteins, and without proteins there can be no DNA or RNA. They're all mutually dependent upon each other for existence! It could not have gradually evolved! Evolutionists generally believe that it took one billion years for the first life form or cell to have evolved. That belief, although still taught as gospel in many elementary and secondary schools, cannot be sustained by modern science.
Of course, once there is a complete and living cell then the genetic program and biological mechanisms exist to direct the formation of more cells with their own genetic programs and biological mechanisms. The question is how did life come about when there was no directing mechanism.
If humans must use intelligence to perform genetic engineering, to meaningfully manipulate the genetic code, then what does that say about the origin of the genetic code itself!
The great British scientist Sir Frederick Hoyle has said that the probability of the sequence of molecules in the simplest cell coming into existence by chance is equivalent to a tornado going through a junk yard of airplane parts and assembling a 747 Jumbo Jet!
We tend to judge something as being simple or complex by its size. So many of us assume that because the cell is microscopic in size that it must be simple. Not so! Size is relative, but not complexity. If you were as tall as the Empire State building you would probably think that a dictionary is a simple little thing that could have easily come together by chance from an explosion or series of explosions in a printing shop.
Natural laws are adequate to explain how the order in life, the universe, and even a microwave oven operates, but mere undirected natural laws cannot fully explain the origin of such order.
Science cannot prove how life originated since no human observed the origin of life by either chance or design. Observation and detection by the human senses, either directly or indirectly through scientific instruments, is the basis of science and for establishing proof. The issue is which position has better scientific support. Both sides should have the opportunity to present their case.
If some astronauts from Earth discovered figures of persons similar to Mt. Rushmore on an uninhabited planet there would be no way to scientifically prove the carved figures originated by design or by chance processes of erosion. Neither position is science, but scientific arguments may be made to support one or the other.
Many think that natural selection in nature is proof that we had evolved. Natural selection does occur in nature. Natural selection itself does not produce biological variations. Natural selection can only "select" from biological variations that are produced and which have survival value. Natural selection is a passive process in nature. Natural selection is simply another way of saying that if a biological variation occurs which is helpful to an animal or plant's survival then that that variation will be preserved and be passed on. Of course, nature does not do any active or conscious selecting. The term "natural selection" is simply a figure of speech. Also, natural selection only applies once there is life and not before. In other words, natural selection is not involved in any pre-biotic, non-living interactions of chemicals.
Evolutionists believe that random or chance mutations in the genetic code (caused by random environmental forces such as radiation) will produce the favorable evolutionary changes necessary for natural selection to act upon.
However, there is no evidence that random or chance mutations in the genetic code are capable of producing greater biological complexity (vertical evolution) among natural species. Mutations are only capable of producing horizontal evolution (variations within natural species). In any case, most biological variations among natural species are due to new combinations of already existing genes and not mutations.
Considering the enormous complexity of life, it is much more logical to believe that the genetic and biological similarities between all species are due to a common Designer rather than common evolutionary ancestry. It is only logical that the great Designer would design similar functions for similar purposes and different functions for different purposes in all of the various forms of life.
All of this simply means that real science supports faith in God. Science cannot prove that we are here by chance (evolution) or by design (creation). However, the scientific evidence can be used to support one or the other. It is only fair that evidence supporting intelligent design be presented to students alongside of evolutionary theory, especially in public schools which receive funding from taxpayers who are on both sides of the issue. Also, no one is being forced to believe in God or adopt a particular religion so there is no true violation of separation of church and state. As a religion and science writer, I encourage all to read my Internet article "The Natural Limits of Evolution" at my website www.religionscience.com for more in-depth study of the issue.
The author, Babu G. Ranganathan, has his bachelor's degree with concentrations in theology and biology and has been recognized for his writings on religion and science in the 24th edition of Marquis "Who's Who In The East".

Life on Mars To Be Found in 2018
In 1877, during the great opposition of Mars, astronomers discovered the system of so-called canals on the surface of the red planet. Percival Lowell, a well-known astronomer, set out a version of their artificial origin in his book. The mystery of life on Mars has become one of the most talked-about subjects in the field of space exploration since then.
"The War of the Worlds" written by Herbert Wells in 1898 became the first book about the invasion of extraterrestrial creatures. The creatures came to Earth from Mars, of course, and perceived humans as food. The image of a Martian being became more romantic in 1923 after the publication of Aleksei Tolstoy's Aelita novel. The book tells of the flight of a Soviet spaceship to Mars. The crew of the spaceship found a highly-developed civilization on the planet, which was declining in the grip of bourgeois reality. The image of the main character of the novel, Aelita, deprived many Soviet schoolchildren of sleep despite social and political absurdity of the book.
Other prominent science fiction writers, such as Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut, did not leave the Martian issue out of their attention either.
However, it seems that the fairytales about scary Martian creatures will soon become history. ExoMars, a European unmanned scientific mission will begin in 2018 to search for signs of life on the mysterious red planet. The launch of the interplanetary space probe was originally planned for 2011, but was later pushed back to 2018 because of the economic crisis.
NASA cooperates with the European Space Agency in the program. The research station with ExoMars rover will be launched on board the US Atlas booster rocket.
ExoMars will deploy a rover carrying a comprehensive suite of analytical instruments dedicated to exobiology and geology research. Using conventional solar arrays to generate electricity, the rover will be able to travel a few kilometres over the surface of Mars. The vehicle will be capable of operating autonomously by using onboard software and will navigate by using optical sensors. Included in its payload will be a lightweight drilling system, a sampling and handling device, and a set of scientific instruments to search for signs of past or present life on Mars.
The rover will weigh 205 kg, comparable to NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity. Instrumentation will consist of the 10 kg 'Pasteur Payload' and the 'Geophysical Science Package', containing, among other instruments, a 2 meter sub-surface drill.
The ExoMars spacecraft will consist of an orbiter, the carrier module, a high-precision Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) system, and the rover itself with the main scientific payload. The 2018 launch opportunity is actually one of the most favorable in terms of planetary alignment for many years, and that makes it possible to send a very heavy surface mission. After 9 to 10 months of flight, the orbiter with the Carrier and Descent Modules attached will enter Martian orbit. The landing from an orbiter makes it possible to wait for a storm free period and to land with a higher accuracy.

Georgia Power Employees Graduate from CGTC
Georgia Power recently held a graduation ceremony for its employees in the apprentice program at Central Georgia Technical College. Existing Georgia Power employees selected for admissions in the apprentice program also enroll as a student at CGTC. There are two tracks, electrical and mechanical. In 1999, Georgia Power decided on a set of standards for its techs and brought those standards to CGTC. A partnership was formed, and CGTC has been training Georgia Power techs since then. Once the apprenticeship program and the course work at the College are completed, the employees are promoted to the level of Journeyman at their respective Georgia Power plants. This level is considered a promotion. This year, 23 graduates walked the stage.

Traditional rosés have more depth of flavor than blush wines
Spring's soft touch will soon arrive to stay and create ample opportunities to enjoy al fresco dining. And when luxuriating under blue skies and brilliant sun, tasty, slightly chilled dry rosé wines offer the perfect choice.
The style's blend of fruity aromas, juicy flavors and refreshing, zesty acidity creates versatility with many al fresco favorites such as seafood salads, grilled vegetables, and simple baguettes with olive and garlic tapenade.
To support dry rosé's growing popularity, the Rosé Consortia gathers an impressive array of international producers working together. Notable domaines hail from Australia, California, Chile, France, New Zealand, Oregon and Spain. Consumers can join as affiliates at www.roseconsortia.comand receive a complementary newsletter.
The group 's key goal rests on favoring traditionally produced dry — or slightly off-dry — rosé wines. The grapes vary from pinot noir, grenache, syrah, tempranillo, zinfandel, malbec, merlot and cabernet sauvignon. Depending on the amount of skin contact during crush, the wine colors run the gamut from the palest salmon to vibrant hot pink. But the traditional style does not include modern "blush" wines made from blending white and red wines.
New World producers have popularized the "blush" style with the decidedly off-dry and often downright sweet "white zinfandels." Other popular "blush" wines include the cleverly named Ménage à Trois, described on the wine's Web page as "a madcap blend of merlot, syrah and gewürztraminer ... a fruit-laden roller coaster ride of raspberries, strawberries, lychee nuts and flowers."
Doubtlessly, it makes a pleasant, fun wine in and of itself. But such off-dry "blush" fruit bombs simply cannot match well-made rosés for enhancing savory al fresco dishes such as s alade niçoise or green beans and fresh goat cheese.
Even so, in 2009, European Commission regulators recognized "blush" wines' lucrative sales and considered incorporating the blending method for European rosé wines. French producers protested loudly until the European Union withdrew the proposal.
So traditional French producers, as well as those in the Rosé Consortia, still employ two time-tested methods to create their wines:
• Direct pressing involves picking, crushing and immediately pressing red-skinned grapes. This minimizes the naturally colorless grape juice's contact with the red skins resulting in a pale-pink color in the final wine.
• Saignée or "bleeding" involves steeping the juice of the newly picked and crushed grapes with red skins in a vat for anywhere from a few hours up to 24 hours. The producer then simply opens a valve at the bottom of the tank and "bleeds" off the juice. This results in a more deeply colored pink wine.
Both methods require a practiced hand and savoir-faire to produce elegant, well-balanced dry rosés. Ideally, the 2012 rosés would already be on the retail store shelves, but not to worry. The following 2011 wines from producers in rosé's spiritual homeland in the south of France succeed admirably:
The 2011 Château Vignelaure La Source Côteaux d'Aix- en-Provence, France (Luxury 39950; $13.99) comes from grenache, cinsault and syrah vines growing at high altitudes in limestone and clay. Fresh citrus, floral and light strawberry aromas waft from the pale salmon color. The wine exudes tremendous fresh acidity to balance citrus and berry flavors through a fruity, delicate dry finish. Highly recommended.
The 2011 Château du Donjon, Minervois, France (Luxury 45734; $13.99) comes from the Panis family, a producer with roots traced back over 500 years. The current proprietor, Jean, still makes wine in the estate's stone tower with 2-foot thick walls. The old structure provides natural insulation even in the Languedoc's hot climate.
This saignée-style rosé from syrah, cinsault and grenache sports a vibrant pink robe. Subtle strawberry and grapefruit aromas open to lush, yet crisp red-fruit flavors and a refreshing dry finish. Recommended.
The 2011 Domaine de Fontsainte Gris de Gris, Corbières, France (Luxury 39348; $15.99) comes from grenache gris, grenache noir, mourvèdre, carignan and cinsault grapes grown around Boutenac, long Corbières ' most-celebrated appellation. Domaine founder Yves Laboucarié has unearthed Roman grape-growing artifacts in the vineyards.
A benchmark for t he saignée style, the wine's "onion skin" color unfolds strawberry and peach aromas. Crisp quince and citrus fruit flavors balance through the dry finish. Highly recommended.

New puppy
I have just got a new puppy called jethro. He is 14 weeks and was rehomed and came to us because his previous owners other dog hated him. We already have a 1yr old gsd and they get on well, however jethro is very dependant on the older dog and realy hasnt shown us any attention or affection. Our older dog is very affectionate and i worry that if he doesnt become affectionate that we could potentially have a hard to handle dog. Any suggestions on how we could bring him around?

K2 Lunatique vs Ride Compact vs Rome Vinyl
Hi, I decided to step up from renting equipment and finally buy some of my own. I've been researching and have narrowed my options for boards down to three, but I can't decide which will be best for me and would appreciate some advice. I'm 5'5'' and 133 lbs. The rental company gave me boards based on height so I always thought I was a 145 but through research I've discovered my weight should be the larger determinent. I'm probably still considered a beginner but I'm picking up fast and I want a board that will grow with me so I don't have to repurchase as soon as I'm bored with my board.
Based on research, I've narrowed the boards down to the K2 Lunatique, the Ride Compact, and the Rome Vinyl. I'm leaning towards the Ride Compact because it's a twin and I like to ride switch as much as regular but I'm not sure if I wouldn't prefer more than just a low rize rocker to avoid catching edges, particularly since I'm still new (also, the Compact has poor reviews on ice.)
Also, I'm confused by the difference between what the rental company gave me and what the spec sizes say on the board websites. According to Ride Compact, because I'm more than 125 lbs, I should ride a 150. The Vinyl sets me at 151, and I unfortunately can't find size specs for K2 Lunatique. That seems large; I would have guessed a 147 for myself per general size charts I'm finding but I wonder of the weight of the particular boards I'm looking at is why I'm hitting larger than 147.
Of the three, which is a better all-mountain snowboard for a 5'5", 133 lb girl still learning but advancing? And is a 150/151 insane or just right? I measured and this brings the board up to my nose.
Also, what is the best rear-entry binding? I've looked at Roxy Rock-Its, GNU B-Trues, and various Flows. Roxys seems to have the highest rating in reviews so far.
Any and all advice is very much appreciated, even up to recommending a better board or bindings!
Gnu B Nice would be good to consider, I got my 14 yr old daughter one and it seems like a great beginner-intermediate board.
Of the 3 you picked probably the Vinyl would be the best all mountain that you can progress with. The compact is a park deck i think and the k2 is a beginner board i think. I would probably try to get it in a rocker and not camber though. This will make it easier to learn/progress on since it will be stiffer then the rental boards.
For size, a 150 isn't crazy for your weight but you could drop as low as a 147 and be ok. I know girls that are around your weight who ride any where from a 147 to 152 for all meowntain.

Ride baretta might be a good choice since it has some setback and a rockered nose. Unless you really want a true twin, which you generally only need if you are riding a large percentage switch, other wise some set back is nice.
Ride Baretta Snowboard - Women's 2013 | evo outlet
Ride Baretta Snowboard - Women's | Dogfunk.com
The Vinyl is a camber board, perhaps not the best beginner to intermediate choice.
Of their lineup look into the Romp or Heist.
For Romp your just in for the 147 (95-135lbs) or 150 (105-150lbs)
The Heist puts you in a 146 (95-140lbs) or 150 (105-155lbs)
The Romp features their No Hang-Ups Rockers (Flat to 3D concave Rocker)
very catch free
The Heist has their Mountain Pop Rocker (Camber-Rocker-Camber)
Thank you, everyone; I really appreciate the advice! After reading the above, I definitely realized I should lean towards a Rome and once I looked at the specs I decided that the Rome Romp is the best fit for me. Thank you!
For what it's worth, my wife started on a K2 Luna (the predecessor to the Lunatique). It was fully cambered, and medium stiffness. She loved the board for the first two years, and now has gone up to a longer mostly cambered board (with an early rise nose) and has become an excellent snowboarder...
Never write off camber!
Everyone write off camber!!!!!!! You'er a dinosaur pout!!!!!
Can't help you with the board selection, as I know none of your list, just some general thoughts:
If you want to go for the shorter or bigger option, depends on you preferences, how fast you'll progress and in which direction. A 147 will certainly do in your early stage and will have the advantage of being easier to maneuver.
If you think you'll become a freeride type of rider, will enjoy carving n riding pretty fast, a 147 will soon become too short; not enough edge to work with, chattery at speed. How soon you'd then wish to size up depends on how fast you'll progress.
I once had a pretty stiff 149 men's board which I appreciated for being easy to turn and it for sure helped me to progress to a certain point, but I replaced it after a season cos it was just too chattery for this type of riding.
If you think you're more of a playfull rider, cruising over the mtn, not overly into speed, the 147 could go a long way.
The camber vs. rocker thing is kind of a religious discussion... but I'm in pouts boat. It can't be wrong to learn to mind ones edges. Maybe not as noob, but at some point while progressing, everyone should have had a camber board. To overcome the "catching edges" phase should be a step in the progression and not be just avoided by gear. My opinion.
lol people can ride whatever they like. I don't care, the barrette actually has camber with a rocker nose.
I just know pout loves camber and its summer time sooooo i thought i would give him a hard time.

Ducati motorcycles?
I think I'm finally ready to "take the plunge" and buy a bike. Gas prices are getting dumb, and my previous recreation came from ATVs. Now, it costs at least $150 (just for fuel) to drive 3 hours upnorth, unload the quads, ride for 6-7 hours, load up, and drive 3 hours back. Food, camping, or incidentals push the cost of a fun weekend WAY above what they should be.
So, I figure that a bike is more economical, in that I can ride it on the street, ride it to work, and I don't need to drive 3 hours away to do so.
I've had an obsession with Ducati bikes ever since I saw my first one (I'm pretty sure it was a Desmosedici), but I'm REALLY into the 'naked' bike look. I'm basically wondering if anyone has any riding experience on multiple kinds of bikes, including Ducs, and could offer some insight as to how much trouble I'm buying with say... a Monster 620ie, 750, or 696.
I'm already aware of the maintenance issues, requiring most people to take the bike to a dealer, but I'm more than proficient with small engines. I'd probably spend some time familiarizing myself with the bike, then doing my own maintenance.
So what do you think? Ducati lovers? Any other naked sport bikes to recommend?

I don't even know you but can tell by your questions that no you don't know the maintenance issues...and no you wont be fixing the bike yourself...Ducati engines are not like other small engines...not even close...do yourself a favor and stay far away from Ducati's...

I used to own a naked SV 650. I had always wanted a Monster, but the SV hit me when I saw it. I had a couple of experiences with friends with Monsters. One was a 750 and one was a 900. The SV is a much cheaper bike and in tests performed just as well as the 750 Monster. I had a chance to line up with the guy on the 900 Monster and the SV blew him out of the water. I am not sure what would happen at high speeds. Just with what I knew about those friends bikes, and the cost, I wouldn't consider them over the SV.
Don't get me wrong, I would love a Monster. But from a saving money stand point, or bang for buck, I wouldn't consider an exotic bike over an Jap bike.

Japanese bikes are far more forgiving to backyard maintenance, and are much cheaper to own and operate than any Italian bike, including Vespa. Exotics are big $$$$ to insure as well.
Look at it this way, do you want to ride or wrench?

For the types of stuff you said you want to do, get an SV or an Yamaha FZ. You'd be happier in the long run.

I wasn't a big fan of the SV. I rode one about 3 years ago around the parking lot at work (one of the guys I work with bought one), and I wasn't all that impressed. I mean, it seemed ok, seemed balanced, decent power, but I'm not a big Suzuki fan.
As it stands, I'm trying to stay away from the Japanese bikes if at all possible. I really really like the styling on the Duc 696 and I've heard that they are FAR more "reliable" in terms of maintenance now, along with a more comfortable riding position for this year. Some of the other bikes I'm highly considering are something in Buell (too high priced and underpowered, but I like how "ugly" they are), or a Triumph Speed Triple. I think I'd also get a kick out of an old RD350-400 (breaking my "no-Jap" rule), if I could find one in workable shape.

The Triumph would still be better than a Ducati
Yes, the new Duc's are more reliable than they used to be, but still not up to Japanese bikes.
New Triumphs are far closer to Japanese bikes than the old air cooled bikes of years ago.

Here is a couple pictures of mine:
It is hard to compare a SV to a standard race bike. They are way down on HP, but corner quite well. I could compete with my friends on their 600 class bikes off the line and up towards 60 mph. But after that, they would blow me away. Now in the corners, that was a whole other story. Nobody could hang with the SV in the twisties.
If you only rode the SV around a parking lot, you need to really ride one. If I end up with another road bike, it will surely be a V twin sport bike. I would love to make a completely naked TL 1000 or own a RC51. I would highly consider another SV again.

I've owned a couple V-twins (Honda SuperHawk and RC51). I also worked as a tech at a multi-line dealership and if your set on not having a jap bike, I would go with a 900 Monster. Not as much maintenance and one of the easiest ducks I've worked on.

The first major weekend has come and gone, and there are still some special individual player performances to talk about. In this week's Inside Lacrosse Staff Debates, the editorial staff sorts out the best player showcases, and what they mean to their respective teams moving forward.

This past weekend we saw some incredible performances from DI players to kick off the 2010 season. Highlights include:
Syracuse's Cody Jameison 4G vs Denver
Virgina's Steele Stanwick 3G, 2A vs Drexel
Stony Brook's Jordan McBride 8G vs Siena
Loyola's Cooper MacDonnell 6G, 1A vs Navy
Notre Dame's Zach Brenneman 3G, 1A vs Duke
Delaware's Curtis Dickson's 7G, 1A vs UMBC
Robert Morris' Kiel Matisz's 5G, 1A vs Penn State
Johns Hopkins' Steven Boyle's 6G, 2A vs Manhattan
Also, big days from goalies, including Scottie Rodgers (15 saves), Charlie Paar (11 saves), RJ Wickham (19 saves), etc.
Needless to say, some big personal games for this early in the season. So, the first debate question I throw out to you: What player's individual performance from this past weekend meant the most to their respective team, both in the immediate future and down the road?
My Take: You have to like Virginia attackman Steele Stanwick's 3G, 2A against Drexel, especially the point that all three goals were scored in the fourth quarter when the Wahoos needed some offensive punch to get them past an always-tough Dragons squad. Stanwick proved at the high school level he could carry a team on his back, and his game against Drexel is an early indication that he can do the same at the college level. Giving him the offensive reins now will prove fruitful come May.

Every one of these performances is epic, but a couple definitely stand out to me: Curtis Dickson and Cooper MacDonnell.
Both of them were massive outpourings in key early non-conference games that set the stage for the rest of the first part of the season for these teams. For Delaware, their first test against an NCAA Tournament team was on the road, and if not for Dickson's performance, they drop the game and go into a cutthroat CAA schedule questioning themselves. MacDonnell's game was the same deal - a Loyola team with holes against a good defensive opponent. I give the edge to MacDonnell because he scored six of his team's eight goals and assisted on another. There's basically no way to do more for his team than he did, and it's a huge win for the Greyhounds, who are looking to get those quality victories to take any NCAA questions out of the mix after seeing their bubble burst last spring.

Trying not to be bias since I am a Greyhound myself but Cooper MacDonnell takes the cake. He led Loyola with six goals (out of the eight they scored that day), showing everyone that he is going to be the key goal scorer for the season. More importantly, he scored the winning goal in OT proving that he works well under pressure and will take charge when its needed most. I also give goalie Jake Hagelin credit because had he not made an epic save in OT before Cooper gained possession, the game would have been over. Loyola is going to surprise people this season.

In terms of immediate future, I have to go with MacDonnell and Zach Brenneman. Notre Dame's win over Duke was huge and I think Brenneman's performance sets the bar early. With so many questions regarding how Loyola's offense would get along without playmaker Shane Koppens, I think they got a clear answer with a huge performance by MacDonnell. However, this also reveals a bit of a weakness in a sense that almost all of Loyola's offense came from the stick of one person. They're going to need to get production from Finnerty, Langan and their midfielders going forward.
Looking more long-term, I think R.J. Wickham's performance was telling in how important he's going to be to Navy's defense. Loyola absolutely peppered him, especially in the second quarter and he was very much the reason that Navy had an opportunity to win that game.

I have to give Scott Rodgers some love on the defensive end. For me, holding Duke to seven is quite an impressive feat and Notre Dame needed 15 saves out of Rodgers to do so. This was clearly one the biggest games on their schedule and a team captain got them through it. It adds to his credibility as a player and a leader.
Notre Dame wins on defense and for Rodgers to show up on day one ready to go against Duke, it foreshadows a successful season to come.

I'll give Joel White some love. Syracuse held Denver to just five goals through three quarters, and White had three caused turnovers and six groundballs. The Orange D was playing without starter John Lade and reserve Tom Guadagnolo as well, so White's big game was even bigger in Syracuse strangling Denver's offense.

There really isn't a whole lot to disagree with in here — whether or not questions (like can Loyola replace Koppens or will Notre Dame's offense take a step back) were answered definitively remains to be seen, but so many guys showed enough that there's at least enough in the tank for most of these teams to continue full-steam ahead with their plans.
Two guys that haven't been mentioned whose performances this weekend were so good that I feel vindicated for touting them in the offseason — Steven Boyle from Hopkins and Cody Jamieson from Syracuse. I didn't get a chance to see Jammer play (and am really looking forward to my first opportunity to do so this season), but I liked what I saw out of Boyle. He was definitive, moved well and did what was asked of him.

One morning, three Southerners and three Yankees were in a ticket
counter line at a train station. The three Northerners each bought a ticket
and watched as the three Southerners bought just one ticket.
"How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?" asked one
of the Yankees.
"Watch and learn," answered one of the boys from the South.
All six boarded the train where the three Yankees sat down, but the
three Southerners crammed into a toilet together and closed the door.
Shortly after the train departed, the conductor came around to collect
tickets. He knocked on the toilet door and said, "Ticket, please."
The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in
hand. The conductor took it and moved on.
The Yankees saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea;
indeed, so clever they decided to do the same thing on the return trip and
save some money.
That afternoon when they got back to the station, they bought a single
ticket for the return trip and watched, while to their astonishment, the
three Southerners didn't buy even one ticket.
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked a perplexed
"Watch and learn," answered the three Southern boys in unison.
When they boarded the train, the three Northerners crammed themselves
into a toilet and the three Southerners crammed into another toilet just
down the way.
Shortly after the train began to move, one of the Southerners left their
toilet and walked over to the toilet in which the Yankees were hiding.
The Southerner knocked on the door and said, "Ticket, please."
There's just no way on God's green earth to explain how the Yankees ever
won the war.

The first one maybe the navigation its too simple i dont know if italic text works i dont think so .. the rest its ok & I am not convinced on background & the second design i like a lot its really nice .. I think you should bet on that
Thank you man for your kind words.
you are doing really great man all of your designs are unique and creative . i loved all of your work .. actually from the 1st one to this 2 demos you are doing really quick It's really good to see so much of passion about Web Design within you..
