Rising Costs Shrink India Inc.'s Margins
As the results season reaches its fag end, it is interesting to see how India Inc has fared in March 2008 quarter. The aggregate sales of more than 1,700 companies, which have announced their results, grew at a rate higher than the
previous three quarters of FY08. This lends credence to the fact that the aggregate demand growth in quite a number of sectors is yet to show any slowdown.
What is worrying for India Inc is the rising costs. The year-on-year growth in the operational expenditure, which includes materials, power and fuel, salaries and wages and other overheads, is much higher in the March 2008 quarter than the previous three quarters. This clearly shows that the Corporate India is feeling the heat of rising inflation. Obviously, this has taken a toll on the operating margins of the companies.
We considered 13 sectors—auto, banks, capital goods, cement, consumer durable, construction, NBFCs, FMCG, IT, metals and mining, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals and telecom for the current analysis. It is surprising to note that nine of these sectors could not register higher revenue growth than the aggregate. Only three sectors—banking, IT, and oil and gas—outperformed the growth at a broad level. However, IT and oil and gas have both fared poorly on the parameter of net profit growth.
While rising rupee has compressed the margins of IT companies, the price of crude oil pushed up the revenue growth of oil and gas firms. This becomes evident from the results of Indian Oil Corp and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation. Both the companies registered more than 40% growth in revenue in Q4 FY08, but the profit fell as they were forced to absorb a significant portion of recent spurt in crude oil prices. In IT sector, the effect of rising rupee was more broad-based as all major companies like Wipro, TCS, Infosys and Satyam witnessed much lower growth in their profits than revenue.
The topline of banks, as measured by the sum of interest earned on advances and non-interest income, has grown 27% in March 2008 quarter, which is only marginally lower than the average of the previous three quarters. The net profit growth also remains strong at more than 30%. This is primarily because most of the private sector banks have improved their spreads in FY08 by reducing the cost of deposits. And, most of the public sector banks have rationalised their expenses.
The surprise of the results season came in the form of FMCG companies. The FMCG companies posted a revenue growth of 21%, which is much higher than the average of the previous three quarters. It was expected that rising cost of inputs will hit the margins of such companies. Well, the numbers tell a different story as net profit expanded at a higher rate than previous quarters. Among the biggies, Nestle India and GlaxoSmithKline Consumers Healthcare witnessed higher growth in their profits in the fourth quarter than previous quarters.
Metals and mining was the other sector which ended the fourth quarter of FY08 on a healthy note as its revenue and profits both grew at a higher rate than previous quarters. The metal prices continue to rise due to rapidly rising demand for metals both in the domestic market and internationally. This bodes well for the sales growth and margins of the metal and mining companies.
Auto and cement sectors continue to be weak. The tightening interest rate scenario has affected the demand for automobiles. Also, auto players have found it difficult to transfer the rising input prices, thereby squeezing the margins.
The revenue and profit growth of cement companies have come down due to government pressure to keep the prices low. The fourth quarter has ended on a positive note only for a few sectors like FMCG, banks and metals. The rest of India Inc has felt the heat of rising prices with the full effect of inflation waiting to be seen in the first quarter results of FY09.

I have come accross this recently, and been trialling it. Looks just the thing for me.

- Denise Doyon said...
Lynn - Thanks for this useful information! I downloaded Grammarly as a Chrome extension. Quick research tells me that there is no integration with Scrivener. I use Scrivener and wonder if you have found a work-around for using Grammarly with Scrivener. I don't use Office Suite (was WAY too expensive and opted out when I bought me new computer) but I have been messing around with Open Office (free and in some ways better than MOS) and Grammarly doesn't work with that either. Since you do so much of your writing in Scrivener, do you have a grammar tool for that program?
Thanks - and BTW the Writing Challenge has been great!
- February 25, 2015 at 7:11 AM
- Lynn Palermo said...
Denise there is not a editing program that integrates with Scrivener. To use Grammarly, I export the document to word and then edit it. Two things on my wish list would be a source manager and a editing program that integrates with Scrivener. Life would then be perfect. So glad to here you're enjoying The Challenge.

How can I buy Scrivener. I think there used to be a link on this blog but I can find it now. Any suggestions?

Lynn - you always find the good stuff (you turned me on to Scrivener!). Thanks
- February 25, 2015 at 9:21 AM
- John said...
I've used AutoCrit in the past and can highly recommend it. It was designed with novelists in mind, but can easily be used for family histories and blog posts as well.

I have added Grammarly for Chrome this morning (it's free!) and will see how that works. It has already corrected one grammar mistake I made in this comment.
- February 25, 2015 at 9:43 AM
- Lynn Palermo said...
Delbert, there is an ad in right side bar of this page you can click on it, or click on Writing Tools in the header above and it will take you to all my Scrivener information.
- February 25, 2015 at 9:45 AM
- Lynn Palermo said...
Thanks Tessa, I'm just your average family historian but I figure it I have a need to full then others do to. I'm always looking to better my processes, make them more efficient, that way we have more time to do the fun stuff like research and writing.
- February 25, 2015 at 9:48 AM
- Bolles Family said...
Thank you. Ill check it out. If you download to a PC can you also intwice.it on a laptop or do you have to purchase twice.
- February 25, 2015 at 10:42 AM
I just purchased Scrivener over the weekend and have started the lessons to learn how to use it. I've been writing for over 50 years and decided being rejected isn't the end of the world and so I am going to take a stab at being published.

text: Taylor McKimens is one of my favorite artists, ever since finding his comic book "The Drips," his work has been on my radar. So, using my new blogging gig here at Beautiful/Decay as a good reason to see his studio – I went over to Taylor's studio at Deitch Projects in New York. I had to ask the perfunctory question about what was happening with Deitch Projects, and he said things depended on several variables – and didn't go into any details. His work in progress completely blew me out of the water, and I walked around with my mouth open like a tween at a Jonas Brothers concert.

For GreenJackets center fielder Freddy May, he gives the credit for his resurgence to the man all the way at the top.
Of the organization, that is.
It was Pittsburgh general manager Cam Bonifay who May says helped him to turn his season and, perhaps, his career, around. Bonifay was in town for the South Atlantic League All-Star Game June 17, and spent some time with the once struggling 21-year-old.
"He gave me some really simple advice," said May, who was batting .193 at the break, and has raised his average to .224, batting at a .317 clip in July. "He noticed that I was leaning over too much in my stance, and he showed me why I was having such a hard time hitting that way. Since then, I've straightened up a bit and I'm seeing the ball much better."
May, named the SAL's best defensive center fielder last year by Baseball America- an honor voted on by the league's managers - batted just .203 in 390 at-bats for the Jackets in 1996.
The struggles and frustrations continued during the first half for the Bucs' 9th-round draft pick in 1995, and he had virtually lost his everyday job to Al Davis.
But Davis was promoted to Lynchburg last week and May knows now he's the man again in center and in the leadoff spot.
"It's been real tough, but I feel better now than I ever have," said the Seattle native. "Since the all-star break, my confidence level has really gone up, and knowing you're going to be in the lineup everyday helps your confidence too."
Through all his struggles, May's defense never suffered. Friday night, he put it all together, going 2-for-5 with a double, adding a diving over-the-shoulder catch he called "one of the best, if not the best catch I've ever made."
MR. CHANEY: Sure, Jackets left-hander Michael Chaney has surrendered a home run in each of his last six starts.
And sure, that statistic bothers the Bucs' 16th-round pick last June out of Bowling Green.
Jackets pitching coach Scott Lovekamp, however, is quite high on the 22-year-old.
"I think he's gotten better each game," Lovekamp said. "His location on his fastball and change-up has been good and he's been able to stretch out the strikezone once he gets ahead in the count. He's doing what the top left-handers in the big leagues do. Like the Jimmy Keys and Tom Glavines. He gets ahead and stretches that strikezone out, and that makes him real tough."
Chaney (6-4) opened his second pro season in the Jackets bullpen and made only one start before June 9. Though he is 3-3 with a 4.31 ERA in eight starts, Chaney's ERA in July is 2.20, with nine strikeouts and two walks in his last 16 innings. His 1.74 ERA in July is seventh best in the SAL this month, and his 3.08 ERA overall in 25 appearances is second best among all Pirates farmhands (minimum 54 innings).
Though Chaney has been solid all year, Jackets catcher Skip Shipp, who caught him last season at short-season Class A Erie, told Lovekamp that the 6-foot-3 Cincinnati native is the most improved pitcher on the staff.
"I've given up some home runs because I've made some bad pitches here and there but, overall, I'm pretty happy," Chaney said. "I just need more experience and innings, and the key for me is just going out there every four or five days and pitching as long as I can."
THEY WERE HERE: Of the Pirates organization's top 10 in ERA this season (six minor league affiliates), six have pitched for the Jackets this season - Carlos Alvarado, who leads all Bucs pitchers with a 2.86 ERA, Chaney (3.08), Neal McDade (3.12), Paul Ah Yat (3.22), Jason Haynie (3.36, now at advanced- Class A Lynchburg), and Aaron France (3.76). Three were Jackets in '96 currently at Lynchburg - Bronson Arroyo (3.38), Jason Johnson (3.71) and Jason Phillips (3.91).
JACKETS BUZZ: There's an Ivy League feeling in the Jackets clubhouse these days. First baseman/outfielder Garrett Long attends Yale in the offseason, and catcher John Turlais, who joined the Jackets last week after he was sent down from advanced-Class A Lynchburg, is a Harvard graduate. ... Before going on the DL last week with a pulled hamstring, Long was third in the SAL with a .423 on-base percentage. ... Ah Yat (4-1, 3.22 ERA) has walked just one while striking out 24 in his last 18 innings. The left-hander's 2.03 ERA in July is 10th best in the league ... The starting five of Chaney, Ah Yat, McDade, France and Danny Young have posted an ERA of 2.89 in July. Minus the 12.46 ERA by Young, possessor of the best stuff on the staff with a mid-nineties fastball, the remaining four's ERA is 2.40. Third baseman Bo Hundt pinch hit in the seventh inning Friday against Macon and had an RBI sacrifice fly in his only at-bat, snapping a 10-game hitting streak. ... The Jackets are 32-1 when leading after eight innings, 1-39 when behind in their final at-bat. They are 27-18 when scoring first, 26-20 when scoring last, and 12-18 in 1-run games.

Automating Government with e-Governance
Linux was selected as the technology of choice for the Delixus e-Governance Platform as it best satisfied technical and legal requirements. More specifically, Linux servers provided an optimal level of security and cost effectiveness, as well as supported the language requirements. Support for open standards enabled Linux to serve an interoperable e-Governance application that is accessible from Linux, Windows and other desktop operating systems.
The benefits of Linux had to be expressed from two different viewpoints. First, the benefits to government operations and second the benefits to widows, pensioners and farmers. Government operations had to improve by:
Lowering the cost of operations.
Providing scalability for future growth.
Following open standards for interoperability with other applications.
Providing a robust and stable system to support ongoing government operations.
Simplifying system maintenance and management.
Much has been made of which OS has a lower total cost of ownership (TCO), Linux or Windows. However one views the argument over TCO, many governments appear to be weighing in with their opinion that Linux is the right solution in terms of cost, performance and security. Proof of this lies in the moves by the Texas, Canadian and Chinese governments. Numerous other governments have made similar moves to Linux and open-source software.
A major business value provided by Linux to governments is freedom from outside influence by a foreign corporation, namely Microsoft. Linux provides governments with the freedom to change vendors as needed, the freedom to audit code for spyware and support for open data formats that are accessible to lower income citizens who cannot afford the expense of proprietary software. Protection against spyware is vital in security conscious government departments.
OpenSSH provides a secure method for system administrators to instantly access and manage the Linux servers located in the most remote of local government offices. OpenSSH is an open-source implementation of the SSH protocol that enables system administrators to log on securely to a remote Linux server over the Internet. The speed with which an administrator could access and repair each office's Linux server greatly reduced system maintenance expenses and improved system uptime.
The lives of citizens had to improve by:
Reducing the time between submitting an application and picking up a check.
Enabling citizens to remotely check on the status of their applications.
Notifying applicants when their checks were ready for pickup.
Shortening the time required to process applications is a central benefit of the Delixus e-Governance Platform. The old manual process required government officials to locate large numbers of files for each applicant. The vast number of applicants made the process of locating each applicant's files time consuming. The Delixus e-Governance Platform reduced the search time for an applicant's files from weeks to a few seconds. A simple search of an applicant by name instantly provides the government official with immediate access to all of an applicant's files.
A Web-based interface provides the ability to remotely check on application status from any Internet-connected computer. As a result, widows, pensioners and farmers easily can check the status of their applications from any Internet cafe. Automated e-mail notifications are sent to field officers upon the approval of an application. Field officers then can notify the applicant that his or her check is ready for pickup.
The Delixus e-Governance Platform leverages the strengths of Linux to improve the lives of Indian citizens through more timely access to information and to their pension checks. Linux servers located in each local government office power the e-Governance application and provide a robust decentralized processing model. The use of separate Linux servers in each office removes the risk of having a single point of failure that would cripple government operations. Importantly, the decision to put a separate server in each office was cost justified through the use of low cost open-source software.
The servers at each local government office are designed to communicate with a central computer at the state government offices. Communication and internetworking with the state-level computers is facilitated through the use of open-source applications that support open standards. Specifically, the PostgreSQL database server, the Apache Web server and the Postfix e-mail server easily integrate with other open-source software, commercial software and one another.
The Delixus e-Governance Platform uses a Web-based user interface to allow applicants to access the e-Governance application from any Internet cafe. In addition, the same interface is fully accessible by government officers who access the application from their internal network. The Web-based interface provides a unified and consistent user interface that can be accessed from any Web browser that supports Kannada, including Linux and legacy Windows desktops.
Miss use of e-governance
Dear Sir, I am really impressed by the content of the paper , fluency of its language and clarity with which the advantages of open source software has been brought out.
I would however like to know how to built up various checks and balances in the system of e-governance so that a power hungry high govt. official or a over ambitious political leader can not miss use the system to sbotage public interest for their own gain.Knowledge is power and power is a double edged sword which if used wrongly can do erepairable damage to the socity.Obviously this can not be done by firewall or anti virus softwares, something special is needed to avoid the power hungry and anti social maniac to gain control of e-governance.This danger may not be apparent at present but we can not rule out such catastrophe in distant future.
Please let us know how such balance and checks can be built in the system so that catastrophic decisions either by gogt. or by hackers may be detected and screened out.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully

Re: Automating Government with e-Governance
The article made good reading. I want to know some more technical info. May I request you to take out some time to answer these queries:-
Is the solution totally in Unicode including data storage, sorting, and display using opentype fonts?
Which is the font used? Is it a truetype font or opentype font?
What about the keybaord input? Which IME did you use? What is the layout being used?
The diagram shows that the database server used is Delixus Linux PostgreSQL. Is it different from PostgreSQL? Did you use Kannada sorting on this? If so, is the sorting perfect as per Kannada sorting order?
Expecting an early reply from you.
Thanks and regards,

Update 2: Tri-State took another look at bus accident data in Nassau County and determined that our initial conclusion, that accident rates were rising after NICE took over Nassau County's bus system, was not based on the most up-to-date information available, and that it misinterpreted NICE Bus and MTA data on accident rates. We believed that, like the MTA's presentation of data, NICE bus' data was representative of accidents per 100,000 miles. Instead, NICE presented their data as an aggregate of the first six months of accidents. In reality, according to the National Transit Database—a tool that allows a more 'apples to apples' comparison—it appears that NICE reduced accident rates over their first few months of service in Nassau County. According to the NTD's safety and security data, discounting a vehicle revenue miles comparison, NICE averaged 5 collisions per month from January to April of 2012, while over the course of 2011, the MTA's Long Island Bus operations averaged 7.9 collisions per month (Tri-State could not access a breakout of the first four months).
Update 1: Tri-State is currently working to verify these numbers. Tri-State's initial analysis and anecdotal evidence suggest an increase in accident rates, but differences between NICE Bus statistical reporting and MTA statistical reporting have spurred a reexamination of the crash rate comparison.
A Tri-State analysis of NICE Bus' June 2012 performance indicators and the MTA's 2011 year-end data has found that Veolia Transportation's NICE Bus vehicles' crash rate is approximately three times the comparable rate from 2011.
NICE Bus data indicates an average rate of 11 accidents per 100,000 miles driven, which is roughly three times higher than last year's average under the MTA's operation. In 2011, Long Island Bus, which ran Nassau County's system until January 1 of this year, had an average crash rate of approximately 3.5 accidents per 100,000 miles driven.
The cause of the apparent increased crash rate is unclear, but this and other issues will be discussed in a forthcoming Tri-State report on NICE's first seven months of operation. The analysis comes on the heels of the recently released Long Island Bus Riders Union report "Unreliable and Inaccessible: A Report Card on Veolia's Service for Disabled Riders" and an announcement that 45 new, long-delayed buses will finally be added to the NICE fleet by the end of the year.

My apologies to all you solo travel generalists out there; this one's for the Disney fans. Perhaps you'd rather read this blast from the past? Christmas Week Travel. . .Or Not.
Do you dream of a traditional Christmas with snow and sleigh rides, candy canes and hot cider, enormous Christmas trees and garlands, surrounded by the magic of the season? Do you find that reality just never lives up to your holiday fantasies? Does the idea of spending the holiday at the most magical place on Earth sound, well, magical. . .until you think about how expensive and crowded and filled with families it will be? Don't let those things stop you!
There is so much going on at Disney World during the holiday season, it might just be the best time to go as a solo traveler. When you're at Disney World, you're part of the Disney family. And the best part is you can go earlier in December and enjoy all of the holiday spirit and then still spend Christmas with your
dysfunctional family if you feel obligated want to.
Last year, I was at Disney World during the beginning of the holiday season (early November), and they had already put up decorations for the season. There was something special about seeing the parks and resorts decorated for the holidays. . .like there was an extra layer of magic on top of the magic, if you know what I mean. But if I had gone in late November or December, I could have enjoyed so much more! I honestly had no idea how many holiday activities are available at Disney world until I read The DFB Guide to the Walt Disney World Holidays 2012.
Most Disney fans have heard about holiday events like Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights, and the Candlelight Processional, but there is so much more going on than that. You might even have trouble squeezing in rides! Here are just a few of the many ways you can enjoy the holiday spirit at Disney World:
- Tour all the holiday displays in the parks and resorts (don't forget the Boardwalk and Downtown Disney!)
- Go to a Santa Meet-and-Greet
- Enjoy some good old-fashioned Dickens Carolers
- Go for a sleigh ride
- Go on a Gingerbread Crawl, which includes one part eating of gingerbread treats and one part oohing and ahhing over magnificent gingerbread creations
- Go on a Holiday Beverage Crawl, which includes such time-honored favorites as Gluhwein, hot cocoa and hot cider. (But who could resist the Caramel Apple Margarita?)
- Experience Christmas traditions and listen to storytellers from around the world at the countries of World Showcase in Epcot
- Decorate your resort room window for the holidays
- Enjoy some roasted chestnuts
- Watch the Holiday Wishes Fireworks
- Go to one of the holiday parades in the parks
The DFB Guide to the Walt Disney World Holidays 2012 gives you detailed information on all of these activities so you don't miss a thing. AJ Wolfe of the Disney Food Blog has filled 250 pages with incredibly comprehensive information and color photos to get you in the holiday spirit as you plan your trip. Learn how to plan and budget for your trip, read insider tips for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, and get the full monthly schedule of events. Learn how– and when–to book holiday events, shows, and dinner reservations. Take advantage of AJ's touring tips for the holidays, which will ensure that you get into all the events that are important to you without wasting time in long lines.
Naturally, given AJ's expertise in the food of Disney, a substantial portion of the book focuses on where you can enjoy great meals and holiday treats at Disney World during the holidays. Forgot to make dining reservations on Christmas day, the busiest day of the year? Check AJ's tips for the best restaurants to visit when you don't have a reservation. That alone makes the book worthwhile.
In case you're wondering, The DFB Guide to the Walt Disney World Holidays 2012 doesn't address being solo during the holidays at Disney World. But go to any Disney message forum online and you will meet people who go solo for the holidays all the time. I would not hesitate to do it, and I probably will at some point in the future.
This guide is only available in digital format, which is a good thing: It allows you to immediately download it to your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to bring with you to Disney World. If you have specific questions, you can click on items in the table of contents or do a search for keywords. This makes it really easy to find what you're looking for quickly. (You can't do that with a paperback guide.)
If you have never experienced the crowds of the busiest time of the year at Disney World, this book can save you a lot of time–and headaches. Take advantage of the wisdom AJ has gained from her own experiences over multiple holiday trips to Disney World. The $14.95 price is more than reasonable for the amount of detailed information that's included in this book. Best of all, it has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you don't think it's worth it, you can get a full refund. But I'd very surprised if that were the case. I don't know anyone who covers Disney as thoroughly as AJ does. This book is destined to be your Disney Bible during the holidays.
Disclaimer #1:I received a complimentary review copy of this guide. As always, my opinions are 100% my own.
Disclaimer #2: If you buy the book by clicking on links you find on my website, I get a commission. But you already know this, right? Click on the banner below to download your copy today.

Discussion in 'Fly Fishing Forum' started by Porter, Jul 17, 2010.
Word is they are closing them out...should find sales soon.
Thanks for the tip!
That is a great tip on a great rod. Thanks Porter, for the continued support of my horrible habit.
What! Ed you don't already have at least one?
Oh Bob I have at least one...but if there is a closeout and sale involved...
My friend Bitterroot is the minimalist. I'm sadly not as disciplined.
Awesome, I will have to keep an eye out. I love my VT2 4 wt. Wouldn't mind picking up another....or 3.
Rumor..and just that...the VXP...the xp with downgraded hardware for mid price point. Similar to what they did with the RPL and followed it with the cheaper VPS. Time will tell.
Hey Ed, you won't believe it but I don't have one, let alone 2 or 3... I guess I don't have a problem afterall, lol!
My go to dry fly rod. Wonder what they're going to replace it with.
This seems to be the sage rod line that I always overlook so I've never cast them. I'm looking for a 4 wt. Anyone out there use the 490-4? Thoughts?
I have used the VT2 490-4. I love every one of the 4wts I have, each for different reasons. This one is moderate fast and really casts well for me. I would say that it is a rod that allows for some casting variables. I have faster rods that are not tolerant of starting the forward cast too early or late, pretty unforgiving but send it when you get it right. The VT2 smoothly applys my crappy casting stroke into a very nicely presented fly. Backbone for bigger bugs and streamers, even baitfish on the beach an light wind for SRC. No reason not to find a way to get one in your hand and cast it for yourself. I have had friends not like it because of the blue color. Other than that the only other negative comment I've heard is that it is not a high end rod. Sage makes higher and lower priced rod series, but to snub this one because it is not the most expensive is to overlook a very find casting too. CRAP, now I want to seek out more VT2's.
I got one tis summer, and it continues to astound me. One of the most fun rods I've ever cast. i match it with a 5 wt Windcutter usually, but it casts up to a 6wt sinker beautifully.
Anyone have one of these in a 6 weight? How are they using a full sinking or maybe a sink tip line, stripping streamers?

It is without doubt that life is an array of experiences, challenges and confrontations with many questions and unsolved riddles. It is a world of constant change filled with uncertainty and unknown outcomes. Is it any wonder that we live in fear, within a controlled paradigm of tyranny and manipulation. With the ongoing onslaught of horrific events flooding not only the lives of those who have tragically lost family and friends, but also the constant stream of "bad" news and media shocking the world 24/7 with pictures of war, hate and bloodshed. Indeed, it has the power to create further confusion, division and hate in a world that already lives in a perpetual state of fear.
This includes the most recent Malaysian Flight carnage, where it also serves as a reminder that we are perpetually locked into a world of never-ending crimes of war, bloodshed and loss. Although my heart goes out to those who have suffered loss and who continue to suffer, throughout a history of abominable acts of war and organised crime, I don't buy into the lies and carnage that are used by the 'powers that be', to create further division amongst the masses. It is this very criminal and psychopathic mindset of control and manipulatory measures of violence and death, that's used to shock the masses into widespread religious debate and in-house fighting and killing. This is exactly what the power hungry criminals want through the perpetuation of murder, shock, loss and aftermath violence that only serves to manipulate and imprison the consciousness and very heart of humanity.
Although many can do without confronting and heart wrenching pictures of death and carnage, I feel that it's important for the bulk of humanity to stop turning a blind eye to the truth of what is actually happening in our world. It may not effect the masses directly, as these ongoing wars of violence and murder appear to effect smaller portions of the world indirectly to begin with, only to follow through directly with a newly created 'solution' that was devised through the use of violence in the first place, and that ultimately effects the freedom of mankind as a whole. When these events occur they create war, division and more violence, and then life goes on… until the next abominable act. But life never truly goes on in the way it once had, as certain liberties are covertly stripped away by reason of terror inflicted "proof" that humanity needs more structured control and authority, resulting in further loss of privacy, sovereignty and united community.
We live in a world of vast beauty and mileage that is our Mother Earth, and although we are to stand united in sharing her life giving resources in order to survive, we also stand atomically united in sharing her heart and soul. This means letting go of programs and belief systems based on worship and idolatry, and recognising our own inner light and the current truth of life on our planet. Turning a blind eye and believing that all is fluffy love and light may be one way of dealing with the daily horrors we face. But it also serves as being unproductive in the shattering of facades and tyranny that holds humanity perpetually locked in an ongoing state of fear and hypnosis. Whilst finding one's happy place is an important aspect of positive creation and growth, it's here that we may also become lost in the land of rainbows where we lose sight of the reality around us.
Whilst there's truth in perceiving the world from a personal world within, the lines are a little blurred in this preached mantra, and intentionally so by many a new age movement. "That which we recognise outside of ourselves, lies within". What person, who believes the spiritual trigonometry of illusory separateness, wishes to recognise the atrocities of the world, inflicted by the actions of their "universal brothers and sisters who are eternally united in oneness", as a dark and unmanifest truth within themselves? It's impossible to marry up with this belief, unless you're actually aligned with the dark side in resonance.
And so this is the perfect landmine trap, used for the birth of universal blind sighting. If I were to recognise the horrors of the world as yet occurring, but turn the other way under the false precept of knowing only 'love and light' as my reality, as this is all I will allow myself to focus on, then this is in fact the true act of separation. "Divide and conquer!" War mongers depend on this very mindset in order to carry out their agendas and means of control.
And so under the guise that we are all one, these horrific acts of violence also become our personal responsibility! What right minded, caring, loving person can accept this so called truth under the banner of one is all, and all is one? United we indeed must stand, in order to preserve our life giving Mother Earth, however stand together in the 'oneness' of atrocities that is occurring on this great planet? No thanks! The heart and mind reviles at this thought, and so begins the journey of blind sighted division and acceptance of the mind prison that is currently being inflicted on human consciousness.
"What can I do?" say the many. "How may I, a single person, make a difference, other than depress myself in facing morbid truths?". In all honesty, I used to think the same way. How could I, a wife, mother and custodian of the maternal fraternity, make any difference in a floundering world of violence, war and propaganda?
As I lived within this "belief system" for many years, I turned a blind eye in helpless abate, hoping the world would miraculously sort out its "own" mess. I had removed myself from all blame and all recognition of anything that was of an horrendous and dark agenda. Yet on it went around me, serving as an ongoing and painful reminder of the actual world we live within.
"This isn't my world and I didn't ask to be here! This isn't my home and why would I choose to be here anyway? It's a world of madness with ever growing insanity!". This is what I allowed myself to believe. And so I was of the mindset that the less I chose to look at front on, the more removed from it I would become. After all, I believe I am a person of integrity, empathy and compassion. I know that I would never intentionally harm another and wish only to live in a place where there is love and community, and caring for all. If I were to look too closely at war, hate and the world's atrocities and associated propaganda, then I would be looking at the unmanifest within. I immediately reviled at this horrific thought and fell deeper into the hypnosis of 'love and light' is all there is. I do believe love and light to be the truth, and its opposite an illusory lie of separation. However this is where the paradox of truth meets lie. When we choose not to recognise the lie, we become the lie. When we turn away from truth under the banner of love is all there is, then the lie still remains behind the curtain of denial. That which we face becomes recognised, where it may heal the heart of knowing and dissolve in the light of truth.
In this imaginary realm of, all is peace and safety, my personal world was falling apart. Everything I loved dearly was being threatened, and all my dreams and achievements began to fail. My life and health were failing and my personal world was beginning to shatter and crumble. I lost nearly everything, including my home, my health and nearly my sanity, and here I wallowed in dark confusion for some time. Nothing seemed to make sense.
It wasn't until later that I bravely began to face all that was ugly in the world, where I stared the shadows of death square in the face. This metaphoric confrontation removed the final veil of illusion to stark, cold truths that I had denied for years. As I had turned a blind eye on a world that needs to stand united in order to awaken to its prison, I realised this same denial had also served as a reflection on how I had turned my back on the holographic realm of my own inner world. "As above and so below".
And so I came to realise that the more we turn a blind eye, the more we are susceptible to the lies and propaganda that is fed to the world under the rule of power hungry and tyrannical leaderships. The more we turn away, the more freedoms we inherently lose. The truth is always in plain sight, and it is here that we need to place our focus if we are to not only take back stolen liberties, but to also shatter the agendas of illusion that continue to propagate and perpetuate ongoing spiritual imprisonment. After all, how can one escape if one doesn't recognise their own prison?
Indeed, true freedom will only be known when humanity not only faces the dark corners of life front on, but also recognises and strips back lies that parade in veiled truth, rather than accept a known lie in fear, as in Hans Christian Andersen's tale of The Emperor's New Clothes. It's only when we face truth that we recognise the lie, and here lies the paradox… unless we see the lie, we can never know truth.
As mentioned in a previous article, truth is not always pretty. It's not the path lined with daisies and sunflowers, nor is it a "tip toe through the tulips". Tip toeing only skirts around the issue at hand, and seeing butterflies and bluebirds in all parts of the world only represents a portioned landscape of free living. It's in this very place that the hierarchy of power wishes the bulk of humanity to reside within. A real life Wizard of Oz scenario where there's a rainbow to safety, hence giving little focus and presence to the propaganda machine that's churned out daily behind the covert smoke screens.
Whilst in-fighting and division occurs amongst rebels and freedom fighters, the rest of humanity remains oblivious to covert operations whilst living in a contrived fantasy world of distraction, perfection and beauty. Here lies the deceit and facade that continues to guard hidden manipulation and control. It is also where 'the powers that be', dip their hand in new age movements that would have its followers believe the naked 'Emperor' is in fact a fully suited universal deity. Dare to say otherwise or 'bare' truth, condemns the person to tin foil hat status of self reflection and ultimate deprecation. He who sees naked truth is deplored and outcasted from the community's safeguard, like a prisoner incarcerated in solitary confinement, left alone in confined space and thought.
Although the world and all humanity may be united in universal sister / brotherhood, the soul itself is sovereign in its own right and answerable only to the body it resides within. It will only be until mankind remembers this, that world wars and division will continue.
Indeed, the war on terror is not only a war that fattens greed and fuels the power of narcissism and psychopathy, but it is also the desolation of peace and freedoms of humanity, where the true war is on the consciousness and divine heart of Mother Earth and her children.
We are united as one, yet we are also sovereign in life and soul. Each person represents a piece of the puzzle that is life and all creation, and we all carry the memory of soul truth. We have a right to the experience of a world that is created in love, beauty and freedom, and it is in our divine power to create such a world. Yet, until we not only see the lie and recognise that 'The Emperor' is in fact naked, the power lies within each person in unity with the whole, to overcome fear of division and judgement, and to declare and expose the all naked truth for the world to see and know.

The Meta House in Phnom Penh has at present an exhibition of photographs and corresponding testimonials of stories about moral courage of ordinary people who risked their lives to save others. These are related to actions during the Holocaust to the periods of violent conflict in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Cambodia. The exhibition is also an effort, as described in The Cambodia Daily, to provide the "narrative of rescuers instead of the constant narrative of perpetrators and victims."
I take this occasion to add here information from a book about the "rice lift" to Cambodia in March 1975, which I found recently: Larry Partridge: Flying Tigers over Cambodia – An American Pilot's Memoir of the 1975 Phnom Penh Airlift (McFarland & Company, Jefferson/North Carolina, and London, 2001, 196 pages).
Though I live in Cambodia since 1990 and try to learn about the old and the recent history as background for the dynamics in present day Cambodian, I had never heard about the "rice lift." I read this book with great attention, appreciating the many details described. It is written by an American civilian pilot, who writes:
"…we were officially listed as noncombatant personnel, but nobody mentioned that to the people who attempted so many times to do us harm. What 'noncombatant ' meant, in our case, was we weren't allowed to shoot back."
The book contains much more than a simple description of a terrible period of history. The author shares his own inner struggles about his involvement in an almost impossible task – and he describes how many other people, Cambodians and other foreigners, lived through this period – or lost their lives. In the following, I let Larry Partridge speak, for large sections, in his own words.
On 1 March 1975, a Flying Tiger cargo plane – this company was the first scheduled cargo airline in the United States – was on the way from Manila to Bangkok, with a one-hour stopover planned on the ground in Saigon. The USA had already announced in 1969 to withdraw all troops from South Vietnam, but the situation in Cambodia had become more and more critical. During this stopover, while the pilot – Larry Partridge – and the co-pilot – Jim Winterberg – were looking forward to a nice seafood dinner in Bangkok, things changed completely. The station manager of Flying Tigers informed them that the Khmer Rouge had completely surrounded Phnom Penh: "The airport was still open but was now within range of rebel artillery, and normal air traffic had come to a halt. There were at least one million refugees as well as residents in the city and starvation was rapidly approaching." Rice was available, Flying Tigers had assigned an airplane – but they needed a crew; would they volunteer, instead of continuing to Bangkok? They could stop again any time. "Under the circumstances, neither of us felt that 'no' was an option."

Next morning at 4:00 they were woken up to take a car at 5:00 to the airport, where a DC-8-63, already loaded with 48 tons of rice, was waiting for them to be taken to Phnom Penh.
They got the local standard flight instructions: After takeoff, circle over the airport while climbing to 15,000 feet [approx. 4,600 meters], an altitude considered to be safe from ground-to-air missiles used. The first words they picked up on the air traffic control radio on the way to Phnom Penh was the warning "incoming" – which meant that artillery, rockets, or both were hitting the airport where they were to land soon. They had been told that "if an incoming rocket was going to be a hit-or-near-miss, someone at Tailpipe Bravo [the special bunker with the air traffic control on the ground] would usually see it falling, giving everyone a few precious seconds to get behind or under something. The 105 mm artillery was dangerously different in that it gave no warning! If it had your name on it you would never know what hit you."
"The one thing that did kind of confuse the issue was the shelling was now light enough to allow most of the usual air traffic to come and go again. This was great for moving goods and people, but there was little coordination between all the different operators, both military and civilian… 'be advised that there is traffic all over the place – high, low, fast, and slow.'"
Thus started the daily routine. Depending on the military situation at the Phnom Penh airport, there were up to four flights between Saigon and Phnom Penh per day: '…incoming – you'll see some smoke off to the right, you want to go around? – Um… we just saw two hits by the terminal, is that it? … We'll land OK…'
One problem after the other appeared: "While the unloaders were happily doing their thing," a check revealed "that the brakes were still very hot. This was caused by landing a heavy airplane on a fairly short runway on a hot day. If we were going to take off and spend some time at a cool altitude this would not be a problem, but after the short flight back to Saigon the brakes would still be hot and the risk of blowing a tire would be very real. The typical family car carries around 30 psi [air pressure] in its tires. The DC-8-63 main wheel tires used 200 psi and if the internal temperature reached a high enough point, the tire would explode with the force of a sizable bomb… Normally, the solution would be to spend an hour or so on the ground, but that was totally out of the question."
"Just as we started up the runway, two T-28 fighters landed, facing us and turned off on the terminal ramp to await our passage. This was definitely not standard procedure for a peacetime airport, but somehow it seemed safe as all the pilots involved were highly skilled and on top of the situation."
"As we ended our first day on the job… we had a lot to think about. A quick, unremarkable dinner and it's off to bed we go."
Most of the following days follow a similar pattern: flight preparations and loading – or unloading in Phnom Penh – observing 'incoming' shooting while preparing to land or when on the ground, reflections on what is going on – especially related to other people in this situation.
"As we sat on the ramp unloading we could see the Khmer Rouge were trying to do their job as hit after hit thumped into as small farm about 400 yards [approx. 350 meter] off to our right and forward a bit. That's a clean miss, but the way they are hitting in the same small area worried us a lot as an adjustment in our direction would have been deadly… Silently, we wondered about the family that had once lived there. Were they still alive? One can usually come up with some reasons a warring faction does this or that, but blasting a gentle little farm to bits while trying to destroy an airplane full of food?"
One of the ground staff "pointed out an old couple on the ramp and told us their story. Probably in their seventies, she had something in her apron and he was carrying a small pail with a handle. The 'something' in her apron was sand and his pail held thin tar. Every time an incoming round pecked a small hole in the ramp they would quickly fill it with sand and tar (a regular crew patched the large ones). They just showed up one day and started filling holes while everyone, military and civilians alike, assumed that someone of authority had allowed them into the area. Questions were finally asked and it became clear that they had just quietly arrived on their own. This caused a big row among the Cambodian troops who were supposed to be enforcing a super-secure perimeter around this ramp. The Old Couple just ignored all this and stayed on the job they created while shouts were shouted and fingers were pointed. Finally, everyone cooled down and after it was decided that they were not KR agents, an officer asked them where they lived. The Old Man stood quietly while she gestured toward a small pile of belongings… Using scrap corrugated sheet metal, some troops assembled a lean-to and the Old Couple had a humble home again. Their 'pay' for the job was whatever spilled rice they could sweep up plus handouts from Tailpipe Bravo [the air traffic control bunker]."
Once the head of the US Federal Aviation Administration Southeast Asia Region came to inspect the operation and went also along on a flight to Phnom Penh. He understood that the shrapnel on the runway took a heavy toll on the wear of tires which had to be changed more frequently than normal. He wondered "why we didn't ask for a truck with an electro-magnet under it (they're used for picking up metallic foreign objects that could damage the aircraft). I pointed to a wrecked and burnt-out vehicle that was the magnet bearer. The man who had been driving it was dead. The runway was just too dangerous a place for any length of time."
Some flights were routine without trouble: "Land, taxi in, park at Tailpipe Bravo, shut down number 1 and 2 engines [but leave number 3 and 4 running, as there was no electricity supply on the ground to start up the engines again], wave at the Old Couple, offload, restart 1 and 2, taxi down the runway, do a u-turn, line up, and we were off and headed back to Saigon." But time on the ground had to be kept short: the unloading of 48 tons of rice took less than 10 minutes, and the record of the shortest time from landing to liftoff achieved once was only 13 minutes.
There was always reason for such haste.
"We were lined up on final approach… I saw a few people walking or riding on bicycles… A group of monks in their saffron robes! It all looks so normal! This isn't a war zone… We got a gentle landing but it was accompanied by the ugly rattling of shrapnel as we passed through a double cloud of black smoke! A brown puff just to our left, then 'Krack!' We were on the taxiway facing the ramp when a large cloud of brown smoke appeared right in the offloading area. I said, 'Aw shit, someone got hurt by that one!'
After we were parked I looked to the right and spotted the Old Woman. Tears rolled down her face as she looked at me. I had no trouble spotting the blood and body parts the was trying to hide.
The score was: Four killed outright, two lost both legs and died on the way to an aid station, and one more died at the station. Several others were wounded.
Bad news, good news. The good news was the Khmer Rouge shooter didn't put two or three more rounds into the same spot. That probably would have ended the Ricelift."
The Ricelift staff did a lot of thinking: "All the work, the hot days, the discomfort, and the risk were now just silly things that probably, in the end, would mean nothing. – Sure we got paid, but we would also get paid for flying a load of toys from Hong Kong to Seattle, or a bunch of tourists from New York to St. Martin. I think, to our credit, neither Big John [from the flight control bunker at Tailpipe] nor any of us ever seriously considered turning our backs on these people in spite of the doubts and the probable outcome. Where there is a grain of hope there is … hope."
After surviving another attack – "waiting for hearts to either restart or to stop forever" – "John asked how much longer we were going to stay on this lousy job. I told him a long as he and Tailpipe Bravo kept up their end we'd do the same. He smiled and said: 'That's the answer I had for you if you asked first.' He was going to say more but was rudely interrupted by the usual 'incoming' and a thump.
Offload completed, we quickly taxied to the west end and commenced our last takeoff of the day. We hadn't really talked about it but we all had come to the same conclusion about the same time. We were trapped!
If we continued to fly supplies into Phnom Penh, our friends at the airport and the city's occupants might eventually die. If we (everyone in the airlift) decided discretion was the better part of valor and pulled out, the wholesale killing of thousands of men, women, and children would start within a matter of hours. The situation was that critical. A handful of civilian volunteer aviators had been unwittingly endowed with powers normally reserved for Gods and Generals!"
Various companies and planes were flying to Phnom Penh
From Saigon:
- Airlift International – C-130 Hercules – fuel oil and rice
- Flying Tiger – DC-8 – rice, having started the Ricelift
- World Airways – DC-8 – truck parts, fuel oil, some rice
From U Tapao in Thailand:
- Bird Air – C-130 Hercules – ammunition to Phnom Penh, ammunition and food to Neak Loeung (dropped by parachute)
- Trans International – Curtis C-46 – gasoline and parts, meat, canned goods, some fresh vegetables
The Flying Tiger team had made a realistic appraisal of the limited value of their efforts of carrying 48 tons of rice per flight.
"At the office someone had totaled the poundage flown on our flights alone, not counting other crews or airlines. It came to 2,737,600 pounds of rice. That would have been impressive, except for the depressing fact that the estimated population (including refugees) of Phnom Penh was around three million souls. In ten hard days we had managed to deliver less than a pound of rice per person, not per day, but total."
There were also regular personal contacts in Saigon. Their 13 year old newspaper salesgirl had asked them: "'How long you gonna go to Phnom Penh?' I had to tell her we didn't know. 'Anyway, nobody tries to kill me, but you better stop going to Phnom Penh.'"
"One of us remembered her asking if we were going to church on Sunday – when we answered no, she said if we fly airplanes and fly them to Phnom Penh, we really should go to church, and we could go to hers. When I said that we weren't Catholic she just said, 'That's okay, you be with me.' – 'You keep goin' to Phnom Penh somebody's gonna make a hole in you.'
When the time comes, how the hell are we going to extract ourselves from this 'Family' we are gathering around us?"
As early as 18 March 1975, the director of Flying Tigers Flight Operations, Oakley Smith, had started to talk to the two pilots about being replaced – at that time they had completed 46 flights. "'As soon as I can dig up a couple of replacements. You guys are outta here.'" Why wasn't I happy about what I had just heard? What the hell is wrong with me?! I had done some thinking and I said I would gladly go home on one condition: I would be allowed to return in two weeks. Jim said: 'Me too.' Jim and I had never talked about this and I was pleasantly surprised to find he felt the same. It would be a shame to break up a team. Oakley seemed genuinely puzzled so I added to Jim's nods that we felt we were helping our friends. 'It's a very hard thing to explain.'
We had often talked about the day we could get the hell out and go home, but when Oakley actually offered it that day I almost panicked. I didn't understand what had happened to me (us) but something had screwed with our good sense. After I stumbled through this silly explanation Oakley said he thought he understood, but when our replacement arrived we would go home. After two weeks, if we still felt the same way he would personally arrange our return to Saigon."
On 23 March 1975 information came in that "two pilots were on their way to relieve Jim and me. We could plan on flying tomorrow if Phnom Penh was open, and we'd probably by leaving for home sometime on Tuesday.
I felt it again. Panic was too strong a term, but close to what I felt when I thought of leaving.
I thought about Maria attending Mass in the morning and the comfort she and others must be enjoying by having at least that age-old ritual to rely upon. I envied her.
I wondered how my family was getting along. If I miss them so much, why am I almost afraid to go home. Am I not 'me' any more? How could I change so much in just three weeks?
When Jim [the other pilot] and I talked about going home, I mentioned my strange reaction to the thought. Jim was surprised to find that e wasn't alone in feeling this way. He didn't understand it either but agreed it was very real.
I had a double lump in my throat. A big one for the family I would be coming home to and one only a little smaller for the family I would be leaving behind.
24 March 1975 would still be a normal working day. "The first news of the day wasn't pleasant. A C-47 carrying fuel oil into Phnom Penh was hit by a SAM-7 missile while approaching to land – it "turned into a ball of fire and plunged into the ground a few miles west of the airport. As this was in Khmer Rouge territory there was no way to check, but it was assumed that all four souls on board had returned to earth for the last time.
Soon, we were on our way into the shooting gallery. We came sliding in at 15,000 feet and spiraled steeply down for our landing. If we did take a bad hit, at least our remains would end up in friendly territory.
Our Cambodian boss had a full crew again. Several soldiers had volunteered to leave the relative safety of the bunkers and learn how to unload DC-8s. Everything seemed to click and we were back to the speedy offloads.
Then a large 'Thump' as we turned and headed for the runway. Very quickly we were airborne. Just two more trips without mishap would mean Jim and I were done. Fifty-three 'missions' completed without a scratch. No more 'Thumps' followed by the harsh rattle of metallic hail. No longer would we have the 'pleasure' of learning what fresh human blood smelled on a hot day.
If we were lucky, we could stop trying to think of some way to help the thousands of gentle people in two nations who were strangling on the putrid fumes generated by the fallout of battles between so-called left and right.
Yes, I was in a very somber mood on this, our last (one way or another) day."
Then again the standard air traffic control radio on approaching Phnom Penh: "…descend and land your discretion … active is runway 05 … traffic is Blue 46 inbound, you'll both be here about the same time so maybe you can work together on landing sequence … incoming is still pretty quiet."
The pilots of the two planes radioed each other – they were lined up so that Blue 46 would land first, the DC-8 second.
"Blue 46 showed a puff of blue tire smoke as she touched down. The timing looked perfect, they would be turning off to their ramp well before we passed that spot. Then the day turned bad. Really bad – a large blast of brown smoke erupted just in front of their number one (left) engine and beside the cockpit. Blue 46 began a slow turn to the left and ended up in a cloud of dust.
Later we compared notes and it was unanimous we all felt we would very likely have been in Blue 46's place had they not asked to go ahead of us, thus slowing us down.
As we left, we saw an Air America helicopter had landed beside Blue 46. We knew then that if necessary, Blue 46's crew would soon be in Saigon for medical attention.
On the way back, the next words from Saigon were: "'You guys are through for the day. Phnom Penh is shutting down for a while. Enjoy it, this will be your last landing in Saigon.'
Damn, it felt strange to gather up my stuff and prepare to leave my job here. Fifty-two times on the bull's-eye was enough.
[As for the Blue 46:] Shrapnel had bounced off the pavement and punched holes in the lower left side of the cockpit. A large piece entered just below the Captain's ribcage and after doing grievous damage exited just below his right shoulder. Amazingly, he was still alive. The co-pilot had less severe but painful wounds to his left neck area."
The following day, on 25 March 1975, the pilots would be on a flight to Hong Kong, proceeding to Tokyo and Anchorage, then home.
When a stewardess on the China Airlines plane saw the Flying Tigers stickers on the luggage of the two pilots, she asked if they new anything about the airlift to Cambodia. "'Ma'am, we are the airlift.' I assured her there were others involved, but we were the first pilots to start the 'Ricelift' out of Saigon. 'You guys look pretty tired. Was it bad?'"
Departure was delayed until a man in a co-pilot's uniform with a large bandage entered from the back entrance, and then another heavily bandaged person was carried on a stretcher.
"Our stewardess friend said the patient was a Chinese pilot who had been severely wounded in Phnom Penh and was on his way to Hong Kong for special surgery. 'Do you know anything about it?' she asked. Jim turned and stared out of the widow, leaving me to answer the question.
They had been blown off the runway right in front of us as we landed in Phnom Penh.
I looked toward the rear and I noticed the medical attendant and our stewardess friend were having a serious conversation with the Chinese co-pilot [of the Blue 46]. He turned and when he saw my concerned expression he came up to me and said: 'He is dead now.'"
"When I left Saigon, I expected to return in two weeks, so I just said 'See you later' instead of good-bye. This book will be my closure and a way of finally saying good-bye to the many people we tried so hard to help."
Larry Partridge never came back again. On 17 April 1975 the Khmer Rouge took Phnom Penh. The foreign air control ground staff at Tailpipe left before, flying to U Tapao in Thailand. It was later reported that the Cambodian staff unloading the Ricelift planes were beheaded for having cooperated with the enemy.

Bikes: no oil, more toil - News: "A bike is more than a mode of transportation for senior Steve Kurpiewski. It's a source of freedom. "I love bikes. The city of Pittsburgh can do much, much more with bikes.
In the past, Mayor Murphy put in about 15 miles of bike baths along the edges of the rivers. He was here 12 years. His legacy amounts to about one new mile of trail for each year in office.
Some think that Murphy did a lot. I think he was a joke as a mayor and his bike legacy is a joke as well.
We've lived in two of the world's greatest bike cities: Chengdu in China and Christchurch in New Zealand.
Bike ways need to go to where we live, work, shop, worship and play. Along the river is fine, but we don't get from here to there by going along the rivers, often.
We should take a much more aggressive approach to bike through ways in our neighborhoods. Bikes do NOT need to be along the main business streets. Bikes do NOT need to be on the sidewalks either. But bikes can we woven on many streets, alleys, and by ways.
|From NZ bike
Bikes need to be woven into the city's landscape along with a new effort to greatly increase 'in-fill parking.' We need to get some cars along some streets to be parked in better places.
There are lots and lots of spaces off the streets that need to be made into mini parking lots. Most of all the city gets in the way. But more so, the city can offer better tool for in-fill parking.
In a global way, if we bike more in Pittsburgh, we'll be building up the city life, city residents, and city property values. The city should be a priority, not urban sprawl.
|From china - my bike
Bike Pittsburgh is fine. But, I'm sure that they could be much more aggressive in the demands for bike treatments.
The Birmingham Bridge that connects the South Side to Oakland has been a sore spot. The sidewalk stops! Cuts to the jersey barrier would allow people to be split about from the cars.

Some of you have already seen this wonderful piece, which was first published in Paraphernalian, and later in Inside Higher Education, where it received some predictably arrogant and conceited responses from some of the small-minded people who make academia a miserable place. I resonate with everything that this writer states.
Because: a Manifesto
Because the failures of a flawed system are not my personal failures.
Because I am tired of being made to feel like a failure because I have been failed by a flawed system.
Because doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is stupidity.
Because participating in a system that degrades, demeans, and disempowers you is masochism.
Because productivity for productivity's sake is futility.
Because stupidity, masochism, and futility should not be rewarded.
Because obfuscation, elitism, arrogance, and self-righteousness should not be rewarded.
Because my talents, accomplishments, experiences, and hard work are not acknowledged or rewarded in this system.
Because I am not not nurtured, encouraged, or valued in this system.
Because those in a position to change the system do not.
Because I refuse to believe that a system that does not value me is the only one in which I can have worth.
Because I am enduring personal, financial, and professional hardship to no perceivable purpose.
Because I am being limited personally, financially, professionally, and creatively.
Because I already got what I came for — three advanced degrees and immersion in a subject I love.
Because I want to continue to love it.
Because life is short.
Because sometimes I consider how my light is spent.
Because I don't want to live here.
Because I am prevented from doing the work I was trained and prepared to do.
Because there are other places where that training and preparation will be rewarded, respected, and used.
Because I am capable of more than I can do here.
Because leaving the system is a reclamation of the dignity and agency it has attempted to take from me…
I am leaving the academy.

Roy Sievers modeled his batting stroke on that of Joe Medwick, his baseball hero growing up in St. Louis. He made a respectable career as a slugging first baseman and a smooth swinger who studied the game and didn't let the seedier sides of it soil his shyly genial nature.
Sievers, the first to win an American League Rookie of the Year award when it became an each-league prize (in 1949), died 3 April at 90. He'd overcome early career shoulder miseries to convert from the outfield to first base at the impetus of Bill Veeck, who owned the St. Louis Browns with whom Sievers first arose.

Also posted in the Nodestream group: http://groups.drupal.org/node/234068
Sorry for reposting - but since i could get no answer from #nodestream irc.freenode.net / or the group i thought i'd try here.
Is it possible have a frontpage with multiple Topics, holding multiple regions. And category pages with Topics, and regions different from the ones on the front page?
For some reason it seems impossible to render content in the Taxonomy/term page, when trying to attach a View pane, other than the default "Topic listing" (ns_prod_news_topic) provided by NS. (content: Region) - Even an excact copy of "Topic listing" (ns_prod_news_topic) does not provide the desired terms.
Creating dynamic formatters/mini panels for the default vocabulary: "ns_prod_news_topic_region" is no problem. But I cant seem to replicate the logic onto pages other than the front page.
Am i going about this the wrong way?
Comment #1fabsor CreditAttribution: fabsor commented
You could possibly modify the topic listing view so that it takes a "taxonomy terms" context instead of just one term. You would have to create different mini panels as well though as they are designed to just take in one term, but that's the only way I can come up with to come close to the solution you are describing.
You could then ditch the region vocabulary and possibly just put your regions as children under a particular topic and have one large hierarchical structure.

Staging The Hills: Heidi-Spencer Photos Spark Controversyby Free Britney at . Comments
The Hills? Fake? We never would have guessed that. But this could be the most glaring example yet. Our friends at CelebSlam have pics of Heidi Montag getting on a flight at LAX and then returning there ... about half an hour later.
The above set of pics shows the great Spencer Pratt dropping his girlfriend and her fake boobs off at the airport early yesterday afternoon. The below photos show Spencer picking up Heidi ... a little later in the afternoon.
It's a joyful reunion at the airport for Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, who changed their shirts but are still wearing the same pants and shoes in each scene.
Of course, these pics alone doesn't prove a lot. Heck, our celebrity news writers can only afford one pair of jeans and shoes on their meager wages. But we certainly wouldn't dispute that these photos were taken on the same day.
Would it surprise you? It shouldn't. It also doesn't change the fact that The Hills is the ultimate guilty pleasure, and we're all just tuning in to watch the adorable Lauren Conrad go clubbing and to scream at Heidi and Spencer anyway.

Bark is so easy to make and it's perfect for Holiday parties or just any day of the week really. However, it is quite dangerous to have laying around the house. It is cut in such small pieces, that you just walk by, pick one up and pop it into you mouth. Well, if you continue to do this all day, you will have probably eaten half of the tray. Don't know how I know this fact..probably read it somewhere…yup that's it.{cough-cough}.
Take a look at my other bark recipes…
Almond Joy Bark
Traditional Peppermint Bark
And the easy recipe..
- 16 oz. White Chocolate (4 bars), chopped, divided
- 2 oz. Semi- Sweet Chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Shortening, melted
- 1 cup roughly chopped Salted Pretzels
- 4 Candy Canes, Chopped
- Line a 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 pan with non stick foil. Or spray the foil with no stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, melt 12 oz. white chocolate by placing in the microwave and heating in 30 second intervals, stirring in-between each interval. This usually take 1 to 1½ minutes depending on your microwave.
- When the chocolate is melted, stir in the melted shortening and the remaining 4 oz. white chocolate and stir until smooth.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of the candy canes and pretzel for sprinkling on top.
- Stir the remaining candy canes and pretzels into the white chocolate.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of the candy canes and 2 tablespoons of the pretzels on top.
- In a small bowl melt the semi-sweet chocolate for about 1 minute, cooking in 30 second intervals.Stir until smooth.
- Place the semi-sweet chocolate into a zip lock bag and snip a tiny part of the corner off.
- Drizzle the chocolate over the white chocolate.
- Place the bark in the refrigerator for several hours to to firm.
- When completely firm, cut into desired shapes.
- Store in a covered container in a cool dry place

Install required dependencies
To run bitbake (make image) some programs are needed to be installed on the buildhost:
libtool, python-2.6 or python-2.7, python-curses, git, svn, cvs, make, gcc, g++, patch, help2man, diffstat, texi2html, bzip2, gawk, tar, md5sum, texinfo, chrpath
Install required packages on ubuntu oneiric (may as well work on debian)
# apt-get install build-essential coreutils libtool python2.6 git git-core subversion cvs make gcc g++ patch help2man diffstat texi2html bzip2 gawk tar texinfo chrpath
bash must be your default shell. On Ubuntu dash is used by default and can be changed to bash using
# dpkg-reconfigure dash chose no.
For a full shr-image you will at least need 50 Gb of disk space, something around 1.5 Gb will be downloaded.
Building SHR using Makefile
How to setup a local SHR repository and build images automatically using SHR Makefile which can be used to setup the SHR build environment.
Getting Makefile
Download the FSO/SHR Makefile from http://build.shr-project.org/ :
$ wget http://build.shr-project.org/Makefile
You can build SHR images on almost any GNU/Linux distribution you already have installed or you can use provided minimal chroot environment to minimize influence of your host system and this chroot is what most SHR users use, so it's well tested.
If you want to build SHR without setting up a chroot environment but use the programs installed on your native build host use these commands:
make setup-shr-core
Updating OE core
In order to update the files and metadata from OpenEmbedded you should enter the chroot and run the following:
$ make update
Using different branches
There are 4 branches
- danny, was used in shr-2012.07 release
- dylan, preparation for next release shr-2013.07, is now default.
- shr, using latest layers, preparation for some next shr release in future (feeds set to shr-next)
- master, the same as default branch (currently danny).
To change it, edit BRANCH_COMMON in Makefile and run "make update"
Building SHR manually from scratch
The following commands will start a build of shr-core, without a chroot environment and not using the Makefile. For the "conventional and easier" Makefile approach see below section. All setup steps described here are also done by the Makefile so beginners should use the Makefile approach.
EDITOR=emacs git clone http://git.shr-project.org/repo/shr-makefile.git common git clone -b shr git://github.com/shr-distribution/oe-core openembedded-core git clone -b shr git://github.com/shr-distribution/meta-oe meta-openembedded git clone -b shr git://github.com/shr-distribution/meta-smartphone.git git clone -b shr git://github.com/shr-distribution/meta-browser.git git clone git://github.com/shr-distribution/bitbake mkdir downloads mkdir shr-core cd shr-core ln -s ../openembedded-core . ln -s ../meta-openembedded . ln -s ../meta-smartphone . ln -s ../meta-browser . ln -s ../bitbake . ln -s ../downloads . ln -s ../common/setup-env . ln -s ../common/setup-local . echo 'export BBFETCH2=True' >> setup-local cp -ra ../common/conf conf echo "TOPDIR='`pwd`'" > conf/topdir.conf $EDITOR conf/local.conf # Set machine appropriately $EDITOR setup-local . setup-env bitbake -k shr-image
It is not necessary to build or install bitbake from the cloned tree; the environment setup scripts adjust the PATH to refer to the cloned tree, which contains executables as-is (ie, python scripts). The latest git bitbake is required for building shr-core.
After building, images should be deposited in tmp-eglibc/deploy/images/.
