Pandey, J.
1. This petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution is directed against two orders, one passed by the Regional Transport Authority, Indore (respondent 3) on 30/31st January, 1958, whereby a stage carriage permit for Indore-Julwania-Barwani route was granted to phoolchand (respondent 1) in preference to other claimants including Nazirbhai (petitioner), and the other passed by the State Transport Appellate Authority (respondent 2) on 31st May, 1961, by which the appeal filed by two of the rival claimants and an objector was dismissed.
2. For a permit for the route there were as many as seven applicants many of whom also made representations against the rival claimants. In regard to the claim made by Nazirbhai the Regional Transport Authority observed:
'The applicant Nazirbhai Haji Chisabhai has two routes and a 1953 model spare passenger bus. The applicant should give to the public better transport facilities by paying special attention to the passenger buses running on Kannod-Nemawar and Indore-Sendhwa routes. His claim for this route appears to be inferior.'
About Phoolchand, that Authority said:
'The applicant phoolchand Jaiswal, Indore, is the remaining applicant for the route. At present the applicant is working in the capacity of manager of the passenger buses of Rajaram Biharilal, Jugalkishore Siddhanah and Pramilabai Mule on Indore-Chambal and Indore-Dhar routes. He himself is a driver. From time to time the applicant has run spare passenger buses on temporary permits. Thus the applicant has full knowledge of this business. The applicant had been continuously applying for permits for different routes but his applications were not accepted. Regarding applicant Phoolchand Munnalal Jaiswal other applicants raised the objection that he carried on the business of purchase and sale of passenger vehicles. About this a chart was also filed. The applicant had a 1953 model passenger bus, MBY 1590. Thereafter he had a 1954 model bus, MBK 1237. These passenger vehicles were sold by the applicant. For these passenger vehicles, the applicant had made applications for different routes but they were not accepted by the Regional Transport Authority, Every time the applicant offered before the Regional Transport Authority a passenger vehicle of good model but having not obtained permission, he had to sell it to other businessmen. Other applicants also have to adopt the same course. Therefore, the objection that the applicant carries on the business of purchase and sale of passenger vehicles does not appear to be correct, Today the applicant has a passenger vehicle MBK 4311 of 1957 model. That passenger vehicle is in a better condition than the spare passenger vehicles with other applicants and the seats are more comfortable for the passengers. The applicant has been continuously making applications for various routes. In our judgment, the applicant Phoolchand Jaiswal appears to be the best for this route.'
Accepting the reasons given by the Regional Transport Authority for selecting Phoolchand and giving some other reasons for preferring him, the State Transport Appellate Authority concluded as follows;
'After taking an overall picture of the claims of the rival claimants in this case I do not think that the Regional Transport Authority was wrong in any way in granting permit to respondent No. 2. Having regard To all the circumstances of the case, I feel that the selection of respondent No. 2 in preference to other appellants was quite justified and was not in any way improper.'
3. The petitioner has challenged the two orders of the Transport Authorities on these grounds. They took into account extraneous and irrelevant considerations. They also omitted to have regard to the matters which they were bound to consider under Section 47 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939. Further, the State Transport Appellate Authority misconstrued one of the reasons given by the Regional Transport Authority.
4. According to Shri K.A. Chitale the Regional Transport Authority merely observed that the petitioner, who was operating two routes, already had sufficient business in hand and he should endeavour to improve the transport facilities provided by him on those routes, but the State Transport Appellate Authority misconstruing is held that the petitioner did not operate the routes efficiently by giving proper transport facilities and that this by itself was a sufficient ground for rejecting his claim for a permit for the route. The learned counsel also made the point that if the observations implied any defect or fault attributable to the petitioner, there was a denial of natural justice in that it was not disclosed to him and he had no opportunity of controverting it.
We do not propose to enter into the controversy about the true meaning of the somewhat equivocal observations made by the Regional Transport Authority concerning the petitioner. In our opinion, the observations, regarded in a sense most favourable to the petitioner mean at least this. There was scope for improvement in the services rendered on the two routes worked by him and, if another permit were given to him, not only it would come in the way of the desired improvement on those routes but the service on the third route was also unlikely to be Better. It is hardly necessary to point out that, having regard to the interests of the public generally which the Transport Authorities were bound to take info consideration, this was relevant to the matter in question.
5. It is next urged that the Transport Authorities omitted to consider the previous experience of Nazirbhai and, in disregard of Phoolchand's want of such experience, granted him a permit for the route when by reason of the fact that Nazirbhai was already operating on a part of the route, they were bound to record preference in his favour, it is not that the operation by Nazirbhai of other transport services was ignored. Indeed it was expressly mentioned, though in the circumstances of his case, it was regarded to be a detracting consideration.
So far as Phoolchand is concerned it has to be considered in some detail because it was alleged that he was a new-comer having no experience of the business. In this connection, it was urged that, on previous occasions, the claims of Phoolchand for a permit were thrown out on the ground of his inexperience. It is sufficient to say that each order, when it comes up, has to be examined on its own merits. It may well be that the earlier orders may be wrong or that Phoolchand did not place before the Transport Authorities sufficient material to establish his previous experience of the business : Sri Rama Vilas Service (Private) Ltd. v. Ratnan and Raman (Private) Ltd., ILR (1959) Mad 641 : (AIR 1959 Mad 492). So far as the inference, in favour of Phoolchand's experience on the materials placed before the Transport Authorities is concerned, it cannot, even if erroneous, be assailed in these proceedings. In Nargendra Nath Bora v. Commissioner of Hills Division, 1958 SCR 1240 : (AIR 1958 SC 398) the Supreme Court observed:
'If at all they are errors, they are errors in appreciation of documentary evidence or affidavits, errors in drawing inferences or omission to draw inferences. In other words, those are errors which a court sitting as a Court of appeal only, could have examined and, if necessary, corrected.'
We applied this principle in Milandas v. State Transport Appellate Authority, M. P. No. 212 of 1960, D/- 17-8-1961 (M. P.). We consider it sufficient to say that we cannot allow proceedings in certiorari to assume the cloak of an appeal in disguise and we have, in fact, no jurisdiction so to do.
6. The contention that because Nazirbhai was operating on a part of the route, the Transport Authorities were bound to record preference in his favour is, we think, not well-founded. Section 47 of the Act enumerates matters to which regard must be had in considering competitive claims of several persons for a permit for a giver route. That section does not lay down that the operation by an applicant of other transport services on the route or a portion of the route must override other considerations. In fact the section does not prescribe rules for selection, the only guide being whet would be in the interests of the public generally. Our attention was however drawn to the observations we made in Amirbhai v. Hotchand, MP No. 2 of 1960, D/-18-10-1960 (M.P.). This is what we said there ;
'Now, in deciding the conflicting claims of these two persons, the Regional Transport Authority was brand to take into consideration the interest of the public generally and if it regarded Hotchand's previous experience of operating on a part of the same route as likely to better serve the interest of the public, it cannot be said that the consideration was irrelevant or extraneous for the reason that it could have no bearing on the question.'
We were also referred to M. Ramayya v. State of Andhra, AIR 1956 Andhra 217. Relying upon an earlier Madras case, their Lordships observed:
'We consider that the fact that the respondent is an existing operator in respect of a partof the route in question is not an extraneous orirrelevant consideration.'
We did not say in Amirbhai's case M. P. No 2 of 1980, D/- 18-10-1960 (M. P.) (supra), that this was an overriding consideration. We merely indicated that it was a relevant consideration and that, in a given case, it was open to the Transport Authorities to regard it, along with other matters, as tilting the balance in favour of a particular claimant. It was said that our obsrvations in Amirbhai's case, M. P No. 2 of 1960 D/- 18-10-1960 (MP) have led the Transport Authorities to think that the operation on a part of the route entitles a claimant to preference. It so, we must correct that erroneous impression, It is for the Transport Authorities themselves to decide, with due regard to the matters mentioned in section 47 and other relevant considerations which of the competing claimants would best serve the public interest generally. For a given set of claimants, it is open to them to prefer one who is also an existing operator on a part of the route. On the other hand, in another case like the one before us, they may regard that matter to be outweighed by other relevant considerations.
7. Another point made in support of the petition is that the State Transport Appellate AUthority was not justified in allowing Phoolchand to raise for the first time during the hearing of the appeal the contention that Nazirbhai's drivers and conductors were convicted. If was also urged that, in the absence of any evidence to show that Nazirbhai had consented to, or connived at, tile overloading, the matter was really extraneous and irrelevant and that, in any event, it could not be taken into account without examining the attending circumstances.
As pointed out by the Supreme Court in Raman and Raman Ltd. v. State of Madras, 1956 SCR 256 : (AIR 1956 SC 463), the Transport Authorities constituted under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1939, perform executive or administrative Functions though, in discharging those functions, they have to act in a quasi-judicial manner. That being so, when and so long as applications made for a permit are pending, whether before the Regional Transport Authority or in appeal, we are of the view that considerations relevant to the question can be taken into account. Section 47 of the Act is not exhaustive of the matters required to be considered in granting permits and other matters not unrelated and germane to the subject can be taken info account:
National Transport Co. v. State Transport Authority, M. P. Gwalior, AIR 1959 Madh-Pra 320. Whether or not a service is being operated in accordance with the conditions contained is a permit is not an extraneous consideration. It will be seen that when a bus is overloaded in contravention of the condition, in the permit, the penalty of cancellation or suspension prescribed by Section 60 (1) (a) of the Act is attracted.
In our opinion, the convictions recorded for overloading a bus operated by Nazirbhai were relevant for judging whether he was a suitable person for the grant of a permit,
8. It is, however, urged that there was a denial of natural justice because Nazirbhai was not given an opportunity to controvert the evidence produced at the hearing of the appeal and, in particular, to show that, having regard to the attending circumstances he could not be regarded as blameworthy. In the first place, Nazirbhai accepted the convictions of his driver and conductor which were relied upon by the State Transport Appellate Authority. Secondly, Nazirbhai neither explained, nor asked for an opportunity to show that the overloading of his bus took place in unusual circumstances for which he could not justly be blamed. As pointed out in New Prakash Transport Co., Ltd. v. New Suwarna Transport Co., Ltd., 1957 SCR 98 : ((S) AIR 1957 SC 232), the Appellate Authority was not obliged to grant an adjournment suo motu without any application on behalf of the party interested. That being so, even this ground is of no avail.
9. The learned counsel for Nazirbhai found fault with the order of the Appellate Authority on one other ground. It was urged that, although the failure of Nazirbhai to object to the renewal of the permit granted to Phoolchand for this route was not a relevant consideration, it was taken into account in upholding the order made in his favour. It is true that when the grant of a permit is set aside, the renewal thereof also stands automatically set aside: V. C. K. Bus Service Ltd. v. Regional Transport Authority, 1957 SCR 663 : ( (S) AIR 1957 SC 489). But, we think, the Appellate Authority referred to the renewal without objection only to lay stress on the clear record of Phoolchand as an operator against the not unblemished record of Nazirbhai which to 'some extent' weighed against his claim. In taking that view, the Appellate Authority recalled the following observations it had made earlier in another case:
'It is on record that the permit of respondent has been renewed and it was not stated before us that this renewal was objected to by the present appellant ........ In the absence of any allegations of his convictions ever since the grant of the permit to him, we can safely presume that he has been running efficiently on the route. These facts may not be strictly relevant so far as the merits of the impugned order are concerned, but they do indicate that the respondent has, in fact, been able to run the service efficiently as expected by the R T A'
10. As shown, the orders impugned are not vitiated by extraneous or irrelevant considerations or want of judicial approach. It would also appear that, in considering the competing claims of Nazirbhai and Phoolchand for a permit for the route, the Transport Authorities did have regard to the matters mentioned, in section 47 of the Act. It may be that, in the orders passed by them they did not compactly summarise all the considerations for and against each claimant to bring out dearly the grounds of their preference, but their failure or inability so to do is not a ground for interference by means of a writ of certiorari. They alone had to consider and decide which of the rival claimants was, having regard to the interest of the public generally, better fitted for the grant of a permit for the route. The State Transport Appellate Authority repeatedly stressed that, having regard to considerations relevant to the matter, it found the claim of Phoolchand superior to that of Nazirbhai. That being so, there is, in our opinion, no error of law or other grounds for interference.
11. In the view we have taken this petition fails and is dismissed. The petitioner shall bear his own costs and pay out of the security amount those of the respondent 1. The remaining amount of security shall be refunded. Hearing feeRs. 150/-.

zora neale hurston IS one of my favorite writers. and i find myself time & time again coming back to this passage.
Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing, until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time. That is the life of men. Now, women forget all those things they don't want to remember, and remember everything they don't want to forget. The dream is the truth. They then act and do things accordingly.

these were captured during my stay in the dirty apple.
i am beginning to notice my fascination with words.
to dream?
an involuntary vision occurring while awake?
a vision voluntarily indulged in while awake?
either way, don't ignore 'em.

Full Period Listed Georgian House Refurbishment, Camberwell, London.
This project consisted of the full renovation of a 3 story, Grade II listed, period Georgian building. We worked in stages on this project as the clients remained living at the property whilst renovations were underway, so we worked floor by floor. We started at the top of the building by renovating the guest bedrooms, guest bathroom and study. This involved re-wiring, re-plumbing for the radiators, plastering, re-flooring and decorating. We also relocated the heating system from under the ground floor stairs to the top floor hallway cupboard.
Level 2 was the full renovation of the master bathroom and master bedroom. We then completed the renovation of the stairwell for the top 2 floors, including handrail and spindle throughout, before moving onto the third and largest phase of the project.
This phase consisted of removing the pitched roof above the kitchen/dining area. We raised the level of the parapet wall to give more privacy from the main road and strengthened the structure and created a roof top terrace, including bespoke seating/storage and a designated BBQ area. A spiral staircase was installed for access and the back yard was re-designed with raised sleeper beds for plants/herb garden and a patio laid to create a useable outdoor space. We renovated the space underneath the new roof terrace area and installed a brand new kitchen with an island and knocked through to the room next door to create a large kitchen/diner open plan space. 2 other living room areas were fully refurbished on the ground floor. We installed Under Floor Heating throughout and walnut parquet flooring which we sanded and polished. We finished the ground floor hall and installed a Cloakroom under the stairs.

While Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the richness of Latino culture, forming a Latino book club is one way to recognize it year-round.
With a new report from Publishers Weekly showing that only three percent of the publishing industry is Hispanic, book clubs that are focused on Latino authors or literature fill a vital niche. Here are five tips for starting your own Latino book club:
1. Take advantage of existing resources
Las Comadres & Friends is a national Latino book club, with affiliates in nearly twenty cities. They offer a manual for meetings, tele-conferences with authors, and an annual writing conference. Las Comadres is a non-profit organization, and membership is free. In addition, there are online resources for forming a book club, and many public libraries offer their own clubs. Oprah Winfrey's website and publishing companies such as Random House, Penguin, and Hachette, also offer reading guides and advice for book clubs.

Pain… Tension… Fatigue… Depression…
Anger… Aggression… Frustration…
All these unwanted sensations
Burning… hurting… tearing…
My heart alone, cold and fearing.
Why won't you let me sleep, let me rest,
Let me forget
To eradicate, eliminate, destroy all my regrets?
These memories inside, swirling, twirling,
unwilling to reside in the corner of my mind.
Repeating, resisting, insisting –
Refusing to be denied its recognition
Of its position in my
Frustration, Confusion, Delusion.
Ah, to close my eyes and let time fly by,
Because there's so much to gain
By forgetting these dreams driving me insane.
Unfocused, unclear, out of control,
My world spinning, spinning, spinning,
My sanity flying through the door.
My reason, my logic, oh, it's tragic,
Like fine sands running through my hands,
I'm losing my mind.

Skip to comments.On the Dole: A fifth of all Americans (One of Obama's major accomplishments)
Posted on 02/13/2012 6:45:02 AM PST by SeekAndFind
Skyrocketing food-stamp enrollments over the last few years have played a notable role in this years presidential race, but its not just food stamps that have exploded its entitlements, generally: housing subsidies, Medicaid rolls, college loans and much, much more.
And the trend is threatening to chip away at the very pillars that keep Americas civil society functioning.
Today, one in five Americans 67 million of us, all told rely on federal aid in obtaining housing, food, income, health care or education.
The dependent population has been growing for years, of course. But the Index of Dependence on Government, published annually by The Heritage Foundation, shows remarkably sharp spikes in dependence in the years since President Obama entered the Oval Office.
Over the two-year period 2009-2010, the number of people receiving aid from the feds grew 7.5 percent. And the payments got much more generous, too. In 2010, the average recipient of federal assistance collected benefits worth $32,750. Thats more than the average per-capita disposable income in America.
Dependency-related programs now cost $2.5 trillion annually. Thats roughly 70 percent of the federal budget.
And, no, the growing dependence on government isnt simply a reflection of hard economic times. From 1980 to 2000 a period of good times and bad dependence, as measured by the Index, rose 79 percent. It rose 36 percent from 2000 through 2008, and 23 percent during the recessionary four-year period thereafter.
Overall, we estimate that only about a fifth of the Indexs increase reflects responses to economic downturns. Another fifth can be attributed to population changes. The rest is due to policy decisions. Yes, Washington has actually decided to make government bigger and more people dependent on it.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
The more people dependent on government, the more who will vote for the party that promotes bigger government. This is leading to a tyrannical state.
Alexis de Tocqueville's suppositions are being proven correct.
Gimme gimme gimme. Benefits for those who earn up to 200% of the poverty level and in some states, to people who earn as much as $60 to $70K per year. Pure insanity. There is no justification for this as helping the poor. Its creeping Communism, pure and simple.
The way to defeat this isn't by going after the food stamps first. It is defeated by forcing a choice. High speed rail or welfare. Bake paths and rain gardens or food stamps. Force the people to make a choice.
Granted, the entitlements have got to go but they're only a symptom of the greater problem and the democrats want us to go after the entitlements because that pushes people to side with them.
Force the democrats to justify massive amounts of money subsidizing dozens of regulatory agencies, green energy, and other pet projects right down the line. Tell the people that their food stamps are being cut as the EPA continues to grow.
Seems undercounted to me ... one in 5 is un/under-employed so there's your fifth right there. Now add in the spouse and kids and the number is much larger.
We need to re design our national flag. It should be a blank white flag with an upturned palm (handout) !!
If anyone thinks America is becoming even MORE Conservative, simply look at Greece, and what is happening there at the moment.
Greece and Occupy Wall Street, are a fore runner of what will happen if Welfare, Food Stamps/Instant Government Cash Credit Cards, and unlimited Unemployment benefits are taken away.
And considering that almost 50% of the Population are employed by, or dependent on the Government for a job; Don't believe for a second, that this is going to easily go away once a so called Conservative is elected into office.
As my wise father (RIP) use to say:
A liberal is someone who wants to give your tax money to the poor and get credit for doing it.
Here in Pennsylvania, Gov. Corbett is trying to reimpose an assets means test on food stamp recipients (see the Michigan Lotto winner who is now a millionaire but still qualifies because that's not considered "income").
The Democrats and the MSM is reacting as if he's personally driving around and raiding the refrigerators of the "Working Poor".
I do charity work with the poor and homeless in Philadelphia. You'd be amazed at how many young people in their late teens and 20s — black, white, no difference when it comes to race — are focused on getting a government check. Their goal is to keep adding to the number of government checks they can get. None even try to work, or if they do, its part time and they run with their friends at night. And do drugs and drink. There are a lot of people who need to be forced into working for a living. It will clear up a lot of problems.

Leaf Spray: Direct Chemical Analysis of Plant Material by Mass Spectrometry
Leaf Spray: Direct Chemical Analysis of Plant Material by Mass Spectrometry Jiangjiang Liu,† He Wang,† R. Graham Cooks,*,‡,§ and Zheng Ouyang*,†,§ †Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, ‡Department of Chemistry, and §Center for Analytical Instrumentation Development, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907, United States Analytical Chemistry
ACS Publications
Published September 14, 2011
This research article written by the researchers Jiangjiang Liu, He Wang, R. Graham Cooks, and Zheng Ouyang at Purdue University demonstrated that Leaf Spray is a superior method of mass spectrometry for the determination of the chemical constituents of plant tissue. I became interested in this research article while I was working on my own laboratory research that seemed to parallel many of the same work the Purdue researchers were performing, but of course with a higher degree of expertise and technological advantage. I found myself researching the molecular and chemical components of Arabidopsis thaliana, the plant model organism, used extensively in plant genetic and metabolism studies. Specifically I was interested in the glucosinolate content in the plant. Glucosinolates are a group of plant thiogluciosides found in all members of the plant family Brassicaceae. This group of secondary metabolites is indicative of cellular differentiation and knowing their concentration within A. thaliana spatially and temporally would provide a wealth of information for how the plant controls and maintains cellular differentiation specifically in the unicellular trichome structures. I found my research to be quite demanding and frustrating through the means by which I was detecting glucosinolates. I was detecting the glucosinolates via indirect analysis by first homogenizing the plant tissue and diluting the components and then treating the samples to either strong base or enzyme and sequentially analyzing the left over metabolites. So I wasn't actually detecting the glucosinolate compound for what it truly is, just a left over, a remnant of its presence. Furthermore I would not be able to distinguish the difference between glucosinolates, I would just see that glucosinolates are present not the actual identity of the glucosinolate. During this work I came into contact with a newly published article that was doing essentially the same work that I was, detecting glucosinolates in A. thaliana as well as other plants, and I was quite enthralled and became more interested in this article and the ins and outs of their experimental procedures. I was very interested by the fact that they were able to detect glucosinolates in vivo and directly in the plant tissue with no to very minimal sample preparation.
Leaf Spray is performed by taking a bit of plant tissue cut into a triangle, to generate the Taylor cone of emission of ions from the plant, and applying a high voltage to the posterior end and holding the sample up to the inlet of the mass spectrometer to generate a spectrum. The experimenters performed a number of different experiments showing the validity and prospect of Leaf Spray as a powerful means of chemical analysis. These experiments include; Solvent vs. no solvent, Spatial, choice of solvent, in vivo, developmental tissue, dehydrated plant tissue, and finally metabolic/temporal experiments.
The solvent vs. no solvent experiment showed that many plants, that have a high enough water content can produce a spectrum directly without the use of an added solvent. Some examples of these are grapefruit, tomato, cucumber, pepper, corn kernels and onions. Plants that could not generate a spectrum directly and required the use of a solvent, are spinach leaf, peanut seeds, and cranberry fruit. The experimenters wanted to know what effect did using solvent have on the plant and demonstrated this by taking a spectrum of green onion leaf with a dn without the use of methanol as a solvent. What was found was that the both...

Hey everyone! I know it has been a little while! I just wanted to let you know what the Lord has been doing. I am really excited! Summer was really good! So I moved to Thessaloniki about three weeks ago. Everything happened so fast. We looked for an apartment and found one the next day. It is amazing! I can't wait for people to come and visit it. I have really enjoyed the church here! They really are like a family! Everyone is just so sweet and so helpful!
Last week Tommie and Tannie and I went to Thasos to visit a couple we had met at the Balkan Connect Conference. It was really cool getting to know them more. I really enjoyed spending time with them and the pastor they are working with there. And they had a cat that was just so cute. It was a kitten still and it played 24/7. It was just cool to see what God is doing there with them! They are both such visionaries! They look at buildings and see what they can do with it! It was exciting seeing them casts their visions for that place! It was really inspiring.
Danielle and Amy came last week. It was just good spending time with them! We went to Bogdanci the other night where Glasnost was having an outreach. It was really good to see everyone. Danielle and I got to spend some good time with Bethany (AKA Betty)! We went to Skopje to take Danielle back, and spent some time with some friends. We sent her off and ran by to see Bilijana at her new office.
I am really excited to see what God is going to do this year! We are starting to pray daily together here. Now Amy and Tommie are in Scotland for the 24/7 Prayer Conference. Monday when we prayed it was cool! Just felt like God is doing something here with community. It is cool just getting to know people here, and just meeting new people here. God is bringing people here from all different places! It is really cool! I'm excited!
God has really been showing me a lot about the woman washing Jesus' feet with her hair. Like the fact that Jesus could have stopped the people putting her down at any moment, but He didn't. And the fact that she was not sure what to do, but she chose the right thing over everyone else in the room. It is really neat to think about.
Thanks you guys for all your support and love!

Coconut water, isotonic Natural
During the month of fasting, coconut water is a refreshing beverage most widely sought to break the fast. Besides refreshing coconut water was a natural isotonic beverage.
According to the World Agricultural Agency (FAO), young coconut water can be used as a natural energy booster drinks. This is because coconut milk is rich in potassium (potassium), sugar, and protein. By nature, young coconut water has a mineral composition and sugar is perfect, so similar to human body fluids.
In contrast to isotonic beverages packaged dangerous if taken carelessly, coconut water is relatively safe for consumption.
Therefore, if you do a lot of sweat draining activities, young coconut water drink enough to replace lost body fluids. However, please note that once opened and removed from the shell, coconut water is easy to change the taste and nutritional value decline.
In order properties of coconut water was lost, it's better to drink fresh coconut water that had just opened from the shell. Drink without any mixture, like syrup. Just add ice cubes and a little more sugar to fresh air.

I know. I am the devil and the karma it is going to treat me terrible bad because I eat animals. Which it means that as I am breaking the natural energy circle with my behavior, everything it is going to be wrong in my live. I am going to be cursed eternally and my life will be a full disaster with all kind of tragedies surrounding me… Ok, but if I am the devil it supposes that evil beings are great co-living in tragedy, disgrace and despair, isn't it? We must remember that the Devil was once an angel but, in branding, you are what people calls you. Yep, this is completely starting to get shape, not sense. It had never sense since that terrible Hurricane. Anyway, I have never been agree with this PETA folks. I believe in a moderate intake of animal proteins, which of course it depends of the necessities of each body. But studying the human species history for long, I believe that if people does not breed chickens, cows… for eat them, probably they will be extinct in short term. Just like happened with Dodo bird: nobody find it an use, their feathers where fancy and people hunt it until they were no more feathers. Exactly what it is happening with elephants, rhinos… It is sad, but human beings need to find a use to everything, even to other human beings. If not, they kill the other species or folks until destroy them. As an unicorn that I am I know a bit about this kind of hunting parties, some days are worst than the witch hunting of the Salem times. Imagine how crazy this hunting parties are that one day, long ago, I decided to fly up to my rainbow cloud and to watch the hunt from it. They thought that I was on the field… That I was hiding in a disguise. So they started to hunt one to each other in a chaotic madness that this obsessed hunters tend to create. Yes, the hunt continues today just in an unknown field.
Oh, you are asking yourself why somebody wants to hunt this girl? Well, it is because I am an unicorn. Very difficult to find, very rare but extremely magical. I give luck and make magic and everybody wants a piece of me but noooo… You can call me devil, witch and that word with rhymes with the last one but it starts with b*. Unicorns does not have soulmates, neither jedis. We are in the Force blended just as one and if you try to hunt one of us your face will be full of warts. That's the Unicorn Curse.
I think there is enough crazy written. Sorry, but I have a bunch of naughty kittens. If they could use their online talent to do things. They will be more powerful than kings; but they prefer to waste. So I answer them best I can.
Like this week it's the crazy SuperBowl. I've thought in reinvent a classic; but with a bit of love. Sweet and spicy; meaty and saucy. If you taste this evil pasta; you'll be eternally hungry.
Ingredients: (for 2 unicorns)
- 500gr of GF pista (Pasta: penne, spaghetti…)
- 250gr of rounded biiv (grounded beef)
2 tbs Oreo Ano (oregano)
2 babyleafs (also known as bay leaves)
3 garlish cloves (garlic gloves)
500gr cant tomatoos (canned tomatoes)
2 tbs Olif the Loil (olive oil)
2-3 tbs Suck'A (Sugar)
1 tash Alt (dash Salt)
1. Take a pot and ad water inside of it, not outside. You will waste your time and water the other way. Bring the pot to boil. Add Alt, Oreo Ano and babyleafs. Boil until bubbles are formed and the babyleafs stop to scream. When you have the hot pot add the pista. Keep it there until is ready. That will depend of the one you will buy. Mine was so soft as you can see in the pic. It breaked!* I freaked! (*I know broke)
2. Drain the water and dry the pista. NOTE: Using paper towels is not a good idea.
3. In a sauce pan add Olif the Loil. Do not let it burn, he gets upset. Lightly fry the rounded biiv using a paddlo spatula to break the round shape. When it is Goldie Hawn take out of fire and reserve it for the final date. In the same pan add a bit of Olif, if you need it, and fry tomatoos. Please, discard the cant, that part of the tomatoos does not fry. It tastes metallic and it is hard to chew. Cook them at slow temperature for long time. An awesome tomatoo sauce it lasts four full moons to make but you can speed it… It will not be so awesome but it is okay
4. When it is almost ready, add the Suck'A, Alt, Pepper and Tabasquian to taste. You will know when the sauce is ready The Force will guide you. Add the biiv which it is not rounded anymore and lightly recooked on the sauce. Now the sauce is ready.
5. You can pour the sauce over the pasta and eat it or pour the pasta over the sauce. I let that to your choice, BUT if you choose option two and lightly mix all the awesome recipe in the pan meanwhile it stills hot until some of your pista gets crunchy: you will really know what it is awesomeness in a dish. It creates addiction. You later will not enjoy to eat more pasta if you don't make it crunchy with the sauces, this is a warning.
NOTE: As you have noticed my english it is a bit weird. That's because unicorns does not speak the same english as current humans do. Thinking about it… Do you know that with the exception of 1 person in this planet all the people who has told me that my english it is not good they are not "english speakers"? Hmmm… This deserves a post.
I hope you enjoy the SuperBowl, folks. I cannot watch that spectacle it is very violent for my unicorn sensibility… Better I will watch any horror movie or a Chuck Norris film. It is less brutal and intense. Have fun with Katy and Lenny! And good luck with the recipe. Please, remember to do not fry the can 🙂

Well not quite free but close to it. For at least 4 years now my in-laws have been taking our family on summer vacation. My father in law is retired military and because of that when he buys tickets to Florida attractions, he can get a discount. The first year they said it was the only time we could do this. The next year they said it was the last time. Last year they said we probably won't do this next year. This year they have told us to enjoy this because it might be their last one. Needless to say, we enjoy each trip as if it is the last one lol. For the most part we do the same trip and just change it up a bit. We have done just Disney and we have done just Universal. We have a done a combo of both and even added Bush Gardens in to the mix. For the past three years we have added Coco beach to our trip and we love it! This year we are doing Universal, Coco Beach, and some dinner shows that were favorites from last year and added a new one in.
If you are ever in Orlando I recommend you see a dinner show. You can sit and rest, eat, and have fun. We went to a Pirate one and a Knight show.

Snowbird made a quick trip to her home state of Michigan this past Friday and returned on Monday. It was a whirlwind trip driving up, making a u-turn and coming back home. Trip was dual purposed and all was accomplished.
The trip actually made me stop and think about where I've been, where I'm at now and where I'm going. It's interesting how things really change in 32 years or even 7 years ago when I was there last. It reiterated to me that you can never go home and expect everything to be as you remembered. The home place, schools, streets, stores, roads, to name a few, have all changed. For me it was a realization that time waits for no man and certain things sometimes can not be had again. You only have your memories.
When I was leaving Michigan, it reminded me of a lore I read once: You stand at the seashore with your back to the sea and facing the shore. You throw a stone over your shoulder into the sea to leave everything behind so you can move forward. I essentially did that when I left Michigan, not literally, but figuratively.
Everything that kept me in knots, with the exception of my family, has been left behind. I will visit, but my thoughts and expectations will be different.
I left the red roses to now change to white....

What an interesting 'lore'. I learned long ago that one can never really 'go home' as things will have changed while we've been away. NOw that no one I care about lives there any more, I have no desire to return to the places I used to haunt.

Thank you for this post. I am just having some 'blue' moments right now with letting go. My church did something similar with rocks, but it was in a jar of water instead of the ocean.
I have thought about going home and stuff, but I have moved around a lot and have no idea where that is exactly! hehe

A global supply chain has set up its $80 million Australasian headquarters in Truganina, creating 300 jobs and committing to recruit and retrain retrenched automotive workers.
CEVA Logistics opened its 166,000 square metre transport, distribution and logistics hub – equivalent in size to eight MCGs – on Friday, the largest warehouse under one roof in the southern hemisphere.
Of the 250 people recently employed, dozens are former automotive staff made redundant following the closures at Ford and Holden, Ceva's Australia New Zealand managing director Carlos Velez Rodriguez said.
Mr Rodriguez said the company had committed to retraining people who had lost jobs as a result of the automotive sector's decline. An extra 40 positions are due to be advertised soon.
Mr Rodriguez said Truganina had been identified as the best location to set up a logistics hub after months of research, citing the suburb's proximity to Melbourne, its ports, curfew-free airports and highways.
"And then we heard about the [Western Distributor]," Mr Rodriguez said. "That project is critical … Victoria is at the heart of the Australian economy. Victoria has fantastic business-oriented politicians and community – we have the harbour next door to us, we have highways going from Sydney to Adelaide, railway hubs and fantastic employees. How could it be better?"
Construction on the warehouse started in 2013, and finished last year. The building is environmentally-friendly, with 4000 solar panels expected to generate 95 per cent of the building's electricity, and tanks able to hold 100,000 litres of rainwater.
Industry and Employment Minister Wade Noonan said the state government is committed to working with big business that wants to set up headquarters in Victoria, and invest in infrastructure.
"[This type of investment] creates jobs, new opportunities, and the downstream economic impacts of companies, like Ceva, investing heavily in Melbourne's west and Victoria has a great spin-off impact for our economy," Mr Noonan said.

When it comes to finding and buying weird things, the Internet has completely changed the game. Not only do you have access to more weird and creepy trinkets than you could ever hope for, but you can also shop for them completely anonymously.
That's why websites that specialize in interestingly creepy items like the Necrology Shop are so great, especially with the holiday season right around the corner. Let's take a look at some of their best and creepiest items.
1. What are your thoughts about a necklace made out of mouse bones?
2. You'll look like the belle of the ball wearing these earrings made from human toe bones.
3. And there's no better way to accessorize than with a nice inverted cross.
4. This lovely necklace is a combination of deer and snake bones.
5. Be careful around this necklace. It's made with hedgehog quills.
6. This particular necklace has a preserved hornet in it.
7. That's a mighty fine bird claw.
8. You can't go wrong with a painted deer tooth necklace.
9. This one isn't made with animal teeth. These are of the human variety.
10. According to the website, this piece is a "glittering skunk skull."
11. This wolf claw is set in a pendant so you don't cut yourself.
12. It's kind of freaky how similar skunk and squirrel skulls look, isn't it?
13. And finally, how about a necklace made from snake vertebrae?

Well, now I know where I'm doing all of my holiday shopping. This store has it all. Visit their website to check out the full collection.

I think the band The Evening Rig is my new Favourite Band In The World.
I don't visit MySpace, but I'm told they have a page here.
"Right Where She Wants Me" and "The Steve McQueens" are two tunes from their newest longplayer that move me. But "Hilltop Pines" from a prior record grabs my 'nads as well.
I think we can expect a May Bees-style push in the near future. . . .
except I think this music may appeal to way more people who read this than Drop Little Boy; that could be because my friends love the Replacements, Jason and the Nashville Scorchers, the Old '97s, and Tommy Keene a little more than Frank Black and the Pixies.
I love all of that shit, tough guy. . . .

Google Fiber is setting up shop in Canada.
Well, sort of.
While it remains to be seen if Google Inc. ever plans to expand its high-speed broadband experiment beyond its test site of Kansas City, the search engine giant appears to be on the hunt for a trio of engineers to help with the mobile side of its Google Fiber operations from its Waterloo, Ont. offices.
Google Canada has listed at least three job postings related to Google Fiber on LinkedIn. Google is looking for a product manager for Google Fiber mobile apps, as well as a test engineer and a software engineer to help with mobile apps related to Google Fiber.
According to the product manager posting, the job will include being responsible "for our efforts to integrate mobile applications into our internet and video experiences."
Google Fiber is a service the Mountain View, California-based company has been offering to residents in Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri.
Residents in those areas can sign up for one of a variety of plans offering Internet connectivity and television service, which include up to one gigabit upload and download speed, no data caps and one terabyte of cloud storage. Monthly service plans range up to US$120 per month.
Google has employees at a number of its offices around the world — including the Kitchener-Waterloo location — working on Google Fiber, so the presence of Google Fiber team members in Waterloo should not be taken as an indication that the Silicon Valley company is making plans to roll out the service in Canada.

What do you think? I think we have too many wood chips!
Here the wood chips have been spread out over the whole play area, about 6" thick, and it's still too many wood chips. We think the wood chip delivery man was a little generous.
The little wall on the right side will eventually be a climbing wall, and hanging to the left of it from that tall beam will be a climbing net.
On the left side, a climbing rope will be hanging from the tall beam. We're trying to give the kids lots of opportunities to climb, since they're not big enough to climb the trees in our front yard yet (without a lift up).
Can I just say that I LOVE THIS FORT!? The boys are now playing in the backyard exclusively during morning recess time, which means I can be working in the kitchen instead of sitting out in the front yard making sure they don't get kidnapped. The one thing we're working on is the swing under the fort...that has become the hot item.
Now we just need a warm evening so the boys can sleep in the fort overnight!

Worrisome news today out of the Archdiocese of Chicago: Cardinal Francis George writes in his column in the archdiocesan newspaper, the Catholic New World, that his cancer has become active once again.
We knew that his cancer–which affected his bladder in 2006 and returned in 2012 to affect his kidney and liver–was not gone; but it's been in remission for a year. Now, he writes in his Lenten meditation to Catholics in the Archdiocese of Chicago, the tumor is showing signs of new activity. More aggressive (and likely, more debilitating) chemotherapy will be required.
The Cardinal writes:
If I may speak personally, this Lent finds me once again in poor health. My cancer, which was dormant for well over a year, is still confined to the area of the right kidney, but it is beginning to show signs of new activity. After many tests, scans, biopsies and other inconveniences, the settled judgment is that the best course of action is to enter into a regimen of chemotherapy, with drugs more aggressive than those that were used in the first round of chemo. This treatment will take place over the next two months, when my reaction to the chemo will be evaluated.
I was able to maintain my administrative schedule well during that first round, although my public schedule was sometimes curtailed because of lowered immunity. As I prepare for this next round of chemo, I ask for your prayers, which have always sustained me, and for your understanding if I cannot always fulfill the schedule already set for the next several months. While I am not experiencing symptoms of cancer at this time, this is a difficult form of the disease, and it will most probably eventually be the cause of my death. Chemo is designed to shrink the tumor, prevent symptoms and prolong life.
I imagine this news will increase speculation about my retirement. The only certainty is that no one knows when that will be, except perhaps the Holy Father, and he hasn't told me. As required by the Code of Canon Law, I submitted my resignation two years ago and was told to wait until I heard from the pope. The consultation the pope makes through the Apostolic Nuncio takes a good number of months, and it hasn't formally started yet.
But as always, His Eminence reaches out beyond his own need and concerns, expressing his hope and vision for the archdiocese which he serves. He continues:
In the meantime, Lent gives me a chance to evaluate not only my life of union with the Lord but also my life and actions here as Archbishop of Chicago. Every life is more tactics than strategy, i.e., each day is filled with activities that meet the needs of the hour and that respond to people in front of you. But behind the daily activities, leadership demands a sense of strategy: What are the overall goals of the varied activities that fill our lives?When I returned to Chicago as archbishop in 1997, the goals of the Decisions document, completed under Cardinal Bernardin, gave me a sense of direction that has continued to be helpful. But I also had a sense, first developed when I returned to this country from Italy in 1987, that the church here was going to go through a period of some institutional decline. In a period of institutional decline, one saves as much as possible the elements of institutional presence that are necessary for mission — parishes, schools, seminaries, etc. — but one pays particular attention to the formation of people. No matter how weak an institution might become, if enough people are well formed as disciples of Jesus Christ, the church's mission is secure.
Consequently, I am especially grateful to those who have helped over the years to reform and renew the various personnel formation programs: the seminary system, the diaconate preparation programs, the lay ministry programs, the instruction in the liturgy, the catechetical formation programs in three languages and the preparation of teachers and principals, giving them a new sense of their work as ministry. All the personnel formation programs have been reworked according to the mind of the church, and some have been newly created with the same purpose. Whoever comes next as archbishop will have people he can trust and depend on.
There's more. You can read his full column here.
Prayers for you, Cardinal George, and for all of us who love you. May God grant you strength and, if it be His will, may the skilled hands of your doctors bring you a measure of good health. Speaking for ourselves, we Catholics in the American Church pray that we will have the benefit of your leadership and wise counsel with us for many years to come.
Please continue to keep Cardinal George in your prayers.
Following news that his bladder cancer has recurred, His Eminence has been on an aggressive chemotherapy regime.
When he went for his regular check-up on Friday, March 14, and doctors determined that he was dehydrated and made the decision to readmit him to Loyola Medical Center. Cardinal George had been experiencing "flu-like symptoms" and is now receiving fluids and antibiotics intravenously. He is said to be alert and in good spirits.
Colleen Dolan, director of communications and public relations for the Archdiocese of Chicago, reports that the Cardinal is doing well and is even working on paperwork from his hospital bed.
He will probably be released on Wednesday or Thursday, March 19 or 20.

If Terrence Malick were to make a film about Jihad, the result would look something like this. Timbuktu is like a flowing fountain of dreamy images and moments, all reflecting in equal measure the horror and absurdities of life under Sharia law. Based on a short-lived, poorly organized Islamist rebellion in the nation of Mali in 2012, the film casts the notion of terrorist groups, usually lumped together as a monolithic force in Western media, as an ad hoc assortment of undefined factions, often working at cross purposes and contradictory goals. Their one constant appears to be an abiding love of pickup trucks and open carry, eerily reminiscent of the American good ol' boys who feel the need to tote their beloved rifles along to the grocery store.
Writer/director Abderrahmane Sissako, a Mauritanian national who studied filmmaking in Moscow and has lived most of his adult life in Paris, brings a unique sensibility to the project; his languid, existential style contrasting sharply with viewer expectations. Sissako creates a confused but delicate aura with imagery cued from the blinding African sun and dry, dusty breezes. Timbuktu's narrative structure generally juggles three or four stories at once, with some storylines running the course of the film while other subplots simply wither after minimal development. Experiencing the film often feels like an immersion in a sublime poetic swirl; dizzying and perilous yet strangely blissful.
The featured tale is the story of Kidane (Ibrahim Ahmed), a nomadic cattle herder who lives with his family in a tent the size of a one bedroom apartment. Kind hearted and gentle, Kidane's happy and simple life is disrupted one day when his long running dispute with a local fisherman (Amadou Haidara) turns deadly. While he faces the swift, cruel and certain punishment of the town's fundamentalist occupiers, Sissako turns his lens to the daily routine Kidane's captors, and reveals both their soft underbellies and harsh mercilessness. In a stunning scene, a couple accused of adultery is publicly stoned in a manner that's ingeniously sadistic, while a high ranking terrorist (Abel Jafri in a brilliant performance) secretly indulges his forbidden passion for interpretive dance, Marlboros and MILFs.
The film's most inventive and intriguing character is a woman known as La chanteuse (Fatoumata Diawara), a voodoo practitioner who preposterously claims to have been hurled into town by the Haitian earthquake. She lives in bold defiance of Sharia's repressive strictures, exuding sexuality and mystical chutzpah as she confronts the befuddled terrorists who placidly watch in awe. The rebels seem to have decided that she is simply too crazy to mess with, but the character is Sissako's clever way of implying that empowered feminism may ultimately be the undoing of militant Islam. It is a faint and subtle catharsis, but it serves as a foreshadowing of the historical record.
In 2013, the French army moved into this region of Mali and successfully flushed out the terrorist factions, encountering only minor resistance along the way. While the film ends well before these events with the Islamists fully in charge, there is a sense that their grip is fleeting and tenuous, enforced only by savage tactics that even some of the rebel rank and file find distasteful. Despite its contemplative nature, Timbuktu never shies away from showing the atrocities of jihad. In its coolly abstract manner, the film condemns barbarism more effectively than the thousands of breathless news reports that bombard us daily. In Sissako's view, no amount of bombs or solders will ever alter or eradicate the destructive course of radical Islam. That will only happen when Muslims - the most profoundly effected victims - decide to reject the ideology. Timbuktu's connective tissue shows some of the weak spots in terrorism's armor and the film offers a few glimmers of hope that the process may have already begun.

WNO 2011-2012 Season
* Tosca (1900)
* Lucia di Lammermoor (1835)
* Così Fan Tutte (1790)
* Nabucco (1842)
* Werther (1887; premiered 1892)
There's something peculiar yet familiar here. Just like their 2010-2011 season, there's nothing by an American composer. And nothing in English. And nothing written less than 100 years ago.
What exactly makes them Washington National Opera?
I can sympathize. We're (supposedly, slowly,) emerging from a recession. Opera is expensive, particularly when it's not pre-packaged. Conventional audiences, reliable yet dwindling, want their familiar Mozart, Puccini, and Verdi. But there is another audience, only partially overlapping, that will pay to see Adams, Heggie, and Weir. Or heck, at least some Britten and Menotti!
Previous decades in our capital saw works by Ginastera, Hindemith, Weill, Stravinsky, and Schoenberg. Our last American premiere was in 1999 (Sly, by Italian composer Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, b.1876). Our last world premiere was in 1993 (Dominick Argento's The Dream of Valentino) - 18 years ago!
Maybe I've just become spoiled by the excitement of recent seasons, since 2006 or so, but I am truly disappointed in WNO's last two offerings. Conservative budgets do not have to mean conservative programing choices. Other voices agree.
Be sure to catch Anne Midgette's comments on the season. Her brief summary also links to the L.A. Opera season; at least Plácido is bringing them some Britten, and the less-common Bánk Bán by Ferenc Erkel. (Ferenc who??)
The upcoming WNO/Kennedy Center affiliation (PDF) looks promising. Both president Michael Kaiser and Domingo seem supportive of this change. Will it revive a measure of the past year's "surprising" programing? Find out, dear reader, in February 2012!
("If we all do safe, boring work, we will lose our audiences and our donors. It is the big surprising projects that build visibility and, therefore, income." ~Kaiser, #5)

I had similar thoughts when I read about the new season this morning. Some day, SOME DAY, opera will be cool again.ReplyDelete
Ok, no, probably not, but I can still dream, right?
Wolf Trap is doing John Musto's new opera, The Inspector, in April. (loosely based on Nikolai Gogol's The Government Inspector, staged at CUA in 2005)ReplyDelete
Maybe that fills DC's "new opera" quota for the year?
There was a time, not that long ago, when WNO would do one American work each season. This has been a tradition since the beginning. I saw some wonderful productions - Of Mice and Men, The Saint of Bleecker Street, Vanessa (One of my fav operas and they've produced it three times: 1963, 1994, 2002!), The Consul, Susannah, The Crucible, The Dangerous Liaisons, A View from the Bridge, Porgy & Bess, A Streetcar Named Desire, Sophie's ChooseReplyDelete
It was like clockwork - you could count on one a year. I hope this is only a temporary lull.
I know! Looking over the past seasons, I was very surprised to hear about this second year in a row of "traditional"-only selections. But I am hopeful for the next year, following their move to the Kennedy Center!ReplyDelete
