Paris, the capital of France, wants to fight cigarette butts on the streets by providing ashtrays to smokers. Thus there will be distributed 15,000 pocket ashtrays to Parisioans and tourists as a measure to reduce pollution in the city. Starting from October 1, smokers caught throwing cigarette butts on the ground will be subjected to a fine of 68 euros. The measure talkes part from city's large anti-smoking campaign.
It was estimated that annually around 350 tonnes of cigarette butts are thrown on Parisian streets. One cigarette butt is decomposed from 4 to 12 years and during this time it will discharge toxic substances into environment. Those substances have negative effects on flora, fauna and even water.
In May there was launched a serious awarness campaign and there were installed 30,000 litter bins across Paris and each has a cigarette extinguisher. Now the city is launching a new campaign aimed to encourage smokers to be more responsable.
Totally in Paris there will be distributed 15,000 pocket ashtrays for free to citizens and visitors.
Paris made deals with different public institutions that are affected by cigarettes pollution. For example, several universities along with the National Union of Hoteliers, Restaurateurs, and Caterers (SYNHORCAT), the CROUS, the Union of Ile-de-France tobacconists are all responsable for distributing the pocket ashtrays.
Mao Peninou, Deputy Mayor of Paris, told that cleanliness is something that touches everybody and it demands high vigilance from all people. Today no one is punished for throwing cigarette butts on the ground but in October things will change.

Russian in Robbinsdale
What did I do this weekend? Glad you asked. You know, housework, a trip to the Japanese Garden (crooked lines and coy, yes!) and, oh yeah, a foray to a Russian dinner club. We even managed to catch a live performance of Russian pop from two sequined ladies on a stage framed by what appeared to be a blue shiny lame (as in la-may) curtain. Needless to say it was an excellent way to pass an evening, especially as it was in the company of someone equally (if not more appreciative) of the distinctly Russian atsmophere.
This close encounter of the Russian kind caused me to reflect on my own likely Russian roots. Or is it Ukrainian. See, I'm not sure. And after my gaffe in college comparing Turkish and Greek culture, I know better than to take such distinctions lightly.
My grandfather most often fell into the category of "strong, silent type" (except late at night after his whiskey, beer and evening's intake of western or war film). If you happened upon him at such a moment, he might launch unprompted into an emotionally riveting but rather difficult-to-follow lecture about the injustice visited on the kulaks by the bolsheviks. While he was born here, he seemed to feel deeply the suffering of his ancestors even though he had no real connection to the motherland. Of course, anti "Ruskie" sentiment was always high. Ancestry aside, they were, after all, commies ...
I used to assume that this meant our heritage was Russian (along with the fact that he made faux Faberge eggs in his spare time ... a whole other story). But then again, I always assumed my father's side of the family was Irish. Not so much! (Again, a whole other story.) So Russian or Ukrainian, hard to say. But either way, the vodka and pelmeni brought me home.

For the Love of Butter
I'm not sure much context is needed for this photo of one of a dozen or so dairy princesses to receive the "royal treatment" at the Minnesota State Fair. Outside of Tibet, you'll probably never see butter put to more creative uses. I wonder how much it would cost to commission a butter sculpture … "Princesses" come from across the land (of Minnesota) to have their faces rendered from a huge block of high-grade butter. Awesome.

Hey, folks! How's it goin?
So, how many of you have ever had a bad experience with online shopping? Obviously many right!
But that becomes really worse when you are defending the technology against the so called conservative deeds. Yes! I miserably failed to defend online shopping in front of my mom because of the messed up Snapdeal service.
So, I saw this really cool looking watch for my mom on Snapdeal worth 1K (offer price). Even she liked it amidst her preoccupied negative thoughts about the whole internet or maybe I just succeeded in convincing her to like it. Whatever! the watch got delivered safe and secure after a week or so. Obviously, you would expect the watch to be delivered in a classy looking box so that you can feel it unboxing as they say 'Unbox Zindagi'… But no, the watch got delivered in a shitty white plastic box which my mom uses to stock safety pins.
Okay! Maybe I can make peace with the box since it isn't so important, but my God, the watch was even worse. It was the same feeling as for how Hrithik Roshan would have felt when he received that pink colour, Japanese school girl wali mobile in the film ZNMD from Farhan! Before My Mom said anything, I explained to her the possibility of returning a product and getting refunded.
So, I filed a return request and received a call from the courier guy exactly at the peak hour (11AM) and since there was no one at my place to pick up the product, I asked him to come the next day at a convenient time as everyone in my house is working! On the next day, exactly at the same time I received the call from the same guy saying the same content. I had to repeat him the same. Later, in the evening I received a message from Snapdeal asking me to file the return request once again as I was not available to pickup the product. Fair enough, I did!!
But on the same night at 2AM I received one more message from Snapdeal saying that my return request has been terminated and so is the refund! Now, this isn't fair! Is that? I knew, I had to face the wrath of my mom in the morning, so, even though I knew it was a long shot, I called the Snapdeal customer care service only to realise that there isn't even a toll free number for customer service in an E-commerce giant! I wasted my sleep and my 10 Rs mobile balance only to get a false hope from the executive that my case will be taken up to his higher executives. I knew he was giving me a false reassurance simply to pass through the situation.
I was shattered.I had failed miserably to impress my mom with my online shopping skills (Okay,I know that isn't a skill 😋). I had to endure the same old lessons from my mom as to how everything on the internet is a threat and 1K isn't a small amount (typical Indian middle class, right!)
Exactly after a month I got this really cool offer from an app called 'Haptik'. This was a Rs 100 discount on a Kannada movie which my mom was excited to watch and had asked me to take her someday. Now that struck me. I refreshed all my plans to impress my mom with my internet skills and asked for her debit card.
The previous one was 'cash on delivery'. I was asking her debit card this time to book a movie ticket… Trust me, it was hard as hell to convince her and the time was running out as the offer was valid if only I made a payment within 5 minutes (yeah, offers like these exist!).
Finally, I told her that it will be on me if this offer turned out to be like the last one. But luckily, I received an email from Inox after successfully booking two tickets! I showed the ticket to her. She wasn't convinced even then and she kept on telling me how that was a fake ticket and asked me why would someone give 100 Rs discount without any reason. But she decided to come anyway as the movie had created a lot of hype. But she didn't believe in the offer until we reached Inox and got an entry without paying at the spot!!
Now, that was my moment!! I was feeling so proud as if I had achieved something. That look on my mom's face, confusing, happy and excited at the same time made me forget the Snapdeal issue. I praised Haptik in my mind for helping me prove to my mom that every offer on the internet isn't fake!! I know it's a very small thing but somethings are just too heartwarming like this one which made me write this long!
Hope you enjoyed it 🙂. If you have a similar story, don't forget to share in the comment section!
Gud day!

The Bulk Food Section - Your Place of Worship!
Since I truly believe that understanding how to shop in the bulk section is a key to being able to save money and feed yourself and your family well at the same time, I thought it might be a good idea to take a closer look.
The reasons to shop in bulk are several:
- unparalleled bargains - you will find the cheapest and most nutrient dense foods there
- No - packaging means no waste and no dyes used to print unnecessary cartons - less polluted waters
- No advertising ever - when is the last time you saw a catchy commercial advertising black beans - never? - bingo! There is no advertising for bulk food items - that means less cost to you, because we, as the consumers on top of everything else pay for our own brainwashing!
So - this is bargain central - if you shop the right way. How could you possibly go wrong? Well, there are a couple of things to keep in mind.
Let's look at the different items featured. You can easily tell the quality of your local health food store by the size of their bulk food section. Believe me, in this instance - size matters! Some stores try to work around having people help themselves, by prepackaging everything for them - for instance Whole Foods operates this way. I personally feel nothing beats the control you have measuring your own quantities and checking on the freshness. Also you can bring your own containers to fill -just pre-weigh your containers and then you don't have to waste another plastic bag or tub.
Let's break it down - the different sections will contain:
Nuts - plain and sugar, chocolate or yogurt-covered
Trail Mixes - conglomerates of nuts dried fruits and sometimes candy
Dried Fruits- all kinds sulfured and unsulfured, sweetened and unsweetened
Tea & Coffee
Seeds - sunflower, pumpkin roasted or not
Grains - form the familiar - oats to the exotic - amaranth and quinoa
Beans and Lentils
I don't know about you, but I have no problem separating the food from the junk, but of course it is tricky.
Let's go one item at a time:
BUY: Nuts - especially the unroasted ones - see if you can afford organic - but do buy the nonorganic ones if you can't
DON'T BUY: Yogurt covered, tamari or cinnamon roasted ones - a waste of money and so highly processed that their nutritional benefits become insignificant - because of excessive sugar or salt
also note: broken nuts seem to be a bargain, but are actually more likely to be rancid - to check, see what color the broken edges of the nuts are: yellow=rancid, white=fresh, but eat them soon
DON'T BUY: They are a "no buy" - because they are usually full of cheap fillers - and if you look around - you can create your own mix with fresh ingredients of your choosing - also did you really think I would let you get away with sneaking M&M's into your diet?
BUY: Unsulphured raisins, apricots, mangos. Everything dried and unsweetened is fine. Especially nutritious dried apricots, figs and prunes.
BUY: All Whole grain Flours, there will be some interesting choices such as soy flour or rice flour - but all are good buys.
BUY: They should all be good buys, some may be a bit sugary, but they are still light years ahead of the crap they sell as cereals. Make it fun for the kids and organize a granola tasting - they may discover favorites
DON'T BUY: Chocolate covered raisins, blueberries,cranberries, ginger etc
Yogurt covered raisins, sundrops (fake M&M's), Chinese ginger candies - you get the idea. Unfortunately there are many candy choices in the bulk food section. Are they a bargain? Well, since I believe you generally should try not to waste your money on sugary stuff - I would have to say - NO. However, if you can't live without the occasional indulgence and you are the master of self control - I guess you could say that some of these candies are better than others. Be careful that your kids don't overindulge and, who are we kidding here, don't overindulge yourself! Enough said!
BUY: Pretzels and Sesame Sticks are salty little treats and as long as you don't overdo it they should be fine to add a little crunch in lunch boxes or as a snack. I think they are definitely better than goldfish or cheetos. at least they are whole grain and do not have artificial colors or flavors.
BUY: You can find some bargains here. TEA: When buying tea keep in mind that whole leaf tea is the premium kind and what goes in tea bags is the dust that falls off the table, when the premium tea gets processed. What makes it premium - is the flavor, and the fact that premium tea gives you several infusions - meaning you flush the same leaves again and again and you get pot after pot, just without caffeine. With premium green teas you may be able to get anywhere between three and five infusions from the same leaves. So in that sense lose leaf tea can be a bargain.
COFFEE: You will find fair trade, swiss water decaf and other premium varities here. My experience has been, that coffees in the health food store are usually of the highest quality and quite competitive in price.
BUY: One of the greatest health bargains period. They are cheap, easily carried around and full of vitamins, minerals, monounsaturated fats. essential fatty acids and phytonutrients.
They are best eaten raw and should ideally be refrigerated. If you find a health food store that keeps their nuts and seeds in the refrigerator, you know you are in good hands. Otherwise, make sure there is a high turnover - so the nuts and seeds are not exposed to light and room temperatures for long.
Roasted and salted seeds and nuts often go rancid a lot faster than whole, raw ones. The healthy oils can quickly get damaged in the roasting process, becoming more harmful than helpful.
Super seeds: Sunflower seeds (raw and unroasted), flaxseeds ( a big inexpensive way to keep colon cancer at bay),sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds
DONT BUY: roasted, sugar coated seeds
BUY: oats, rye, quinoa, brown rice, whole wheat(wheat berries), buckwheat, amaranth. bulgur wheat, cous-cous, barley, millet.
There are virtually no bad buys when it comes to grains. Store them airtight and away from light and have fun experimenting.
As long as we stick to "Whole Grains" we should be fine - remember a whole grain is just that - there have to be individual intact whole grains in there. Unfortunately food can be sold as "whole grain" even if 99% of it is actually not whole at all - always go for 100% whole grain or whole wheat. Also be careful "Unbleached flour" on a bread label means absolutely nothing - it just means the refined flour just wasn't bleached on top of it!
BINGO - you just hit the jackpot - there is no single food a frugal vegetarian should embrace more than beans and lentils. Just look at the cuisine of some of the poorest countries in the world - India - has wonderful dals - lentil stews - Central American countries embrace their bean dishes. Every single bean you will come across in the bulk food section is a jewel. They are a bit fickle to prepare - I know some of us get gassy - we will get to that in the weeks to come - there are inexpensive and easy ways to avert the gas - but once you crack the code - you will be able to feed yourself well and inexpensively.
BUY: Lentils, brown red or green, kidney, pinto, black, garbanzo, adzuki beans.
BUY: You may be able to get whole wheat pasta in bulk which is almost always a good deal - stay clear of the non-whole wheat variety and also avoid the pasta with vegetable dye - just because the past is green and contains a negligible amount of spinach juice does not make it healthy
BUY: Whole brown rice -short grain, medium grain or long grain, that is up to you - do not buy any white rice - it is a waste of money (you were robbed of 90% of the nutritional value of that rice), try to buy organic, it is not that much more expensive.
So to wrap things up:
When in the bulk food section of your health food store
+ Unprocessed, unroasted nuts
+ Unsulpured dried fruits
+ Whole grain flours
+ Granolas
+ Pretzels and Sesame sticks
+ Tea & Coffee
+ Unroasted Seeds
+ all grains
+ all beans or lentils
+ whole wheat pasta
+ brown rice

I would be interested to hear your comments on my post at : http://philosophers-qs.blogspot.com/2008/08/justification-for-vegetarianism.html
I don't know many vegetarians who offer the sort of justification I offer yet it seems that you may think along the same lines.
I would thank you for your time anyway.

One of my family's favorite pastime is to watch movie. My husband and I used to go to a movie house at least twice a month. But when our son was born, our movie date stopped. And we haven't been to a movie house for nearly three years. Good thing there is a way we can watch movie and that is through renting a movie in one of the kiosk in the grocery stores. But the problem is, the movie is only good for one day. So once we got from the vending machine, we need to watch it right away. There were times that we forgot that it is already due. We were charged for returning it late. We got no choice but pay the late fee. Good thing there is a BLOCKBUSTER movie rental where we can rent a movie online, then return it conveniently by mailing them or return it at the participating Blockbuster store without fee or at a discounted movie rentals. Absolutely free of charge when it was returned late. I like that there is no extra fee on Blue Ray movie that is rented online. Renting movie is never been easier with their online way of choosing the movie you want to watch. You just add the movies on the que they will delivered it to you by mail within 1-2 business day. Isn't it great? You would love the special offer they give to the members where you will receive emails for exclusive deals and even discounts that you can use in store or online. Pretty good deal, I think. We will definitely switch to Blockbuster once we get settled in our new place soon.

As a result, more investors are looking to cash in on that trend as landlords of single family rental homes. If you're one of them, you want to know where you'll get the most bang for your buck. Try this ZIP code: 33434.
That is the finding of HomeUnion, one of several companies that help investors find, purchase, renovate, manage and sell single-family rental homes. With so much real estate data available now, most of these companies are compiling lists of best bets.
HomeUnion is offering a list of projections for investors looking to hold and rent properties over the next five years. Its analysts are considering factors beyond just vacancies and rent appreciation, examining permitting activities for both apartments and single-family homes, as well as area job growth and school rankings. HomeUnion updates its data each quarter.
"We're looking at the supply-and-demand factors in each market and all of the neighborhoods within those markets," said Steve Hovland, director of research. "As we get new information, we apply that to our methodology."

Alright. I've decided to start blogging.
Why? They say everybody should have their own blog. They say that the only way to develop your writing-skills is to start wirting. A lot. And my english kinda sucks and I have to change that.
Oh, and I really want to post my ideas and beliefs in order to see if and how they will change over time.
But, since I'm a lazy bastard this blog will mainly consist of links to awesome posts by other bloggers and maybe a few remarks of mine.

We Are All Welcome Here
By: Elizabeth Berg
Read by: Elizabeth Berg
5 discs (approx 6 hours of listening)
It is the summer of 1964. In Tupelo, Mississippi, tensions are mounting over civil-rights demonstrations occurring ever more frequently. But in Paige Dunn's small, ramshackle house, there are more immediate concerns. Challenged by the effect of polio, Paige is nonetheless determined to live as normal a life as possible and to raise her daughter, Diana, in the way she sees fit-with the support of her tough-talking black caregiver, Peacie.
As a fourteen-year-old, Diana wants to make money for clothes and magazines, to slough of the authority of her mother and Peacie, to figure out the puzzle tha tis boys, and to escape the oppressiveness she sees everywhere in her small town. What she can never escape, however, is the her life is markedly different from others. Nor can she escape her ongoing responsibility to assist in caring for her mother. Paige Dunn is attractive, charming, intelligent, and lively, but her needs are great-and relentless.
As the summer unfolds, hate and adversity will visit this modest home. Each of the women will find her own path to independence, understanding, and peace. And Diana's mother, so mightily compromised, will end up giving her daughter an extraordinary gift few parents could match.
Personal Notes: I absolutely loved this book!! This book was inspired by a fan letter to the author who wanted her story written althought this book has been fictionalized. This book is an emotional rollercoaster that deals with the hardships of the racial issues that were going on during the 60's, raising a teenage daughter, finding love, good friendships, poverty, and living with a huge handicap. I couldnt put this book down...good short read. Also love it when authors read their own books as is done with this book.

Prime Minister announces pensioner benefits pledge at a Saga eventMonday 23 February 2015
Commenting on today's announcement by David Cameron, the Prime Minister, Paul Green, director of communications for Saga said:
Prime Minister announces pensioner benefits pledge at a Saga event
"The nation's over 50s think carefully about how they, their families and the country will be affected by policies before deciding which Party will win their vote. However, once decided they are more likely to cast their vote than other age groups. So each of the Political Parties needs to respond to their concerns and interests.
"We are delighted that the Prime Minister chose a Saga event at which to announce the Conservative Manifesto commitments for older people.
"There appears to be much in today's announcement that will appeal the Saga generations. A recent Saga Populus survey of some 10,000 over 50s indicated that pensioner benefits were of huge importance, with widespread opposition to giving them up or paying tax on the value of the benefits (free prescriptions - 85%, eye tests - 75%', bus pass and winter fuel allowance - 59%, TV licence - 51%).
"However, the acid test for all Parties will be on Thursday 7th May."
Research conducted by 9,794 Saga Customers between 12th and 19th September 2014

This morning we pulled into Nuremberg, perhaps the city Mr. Tattered was most looking forward to, what with his interest in all things WWII.
The city was nearly leveled during the war, so much of it is now new. But, historic sights were rebuilt as close to the originals as was possible.
Parts of it were kinda creepy. We saw the Nazi parade grounds, and the balcony where Hitler made some of his speeches,
and the courthouse where the Nuremberg trials took place.
I regularly hang back from the group to take photos, but today our guide (Frans) was moved to ask what in the world I was taking a picture of when he saw me taking this shot…
When I told him, he just shook his said. I laughed and said, "my husband agrees!"
We also got an excellent lecture about how WWII and the Holocaust are taught in German schools. I was VERY impressed. This is a country that is not trying to whitewash its ugly past, but to accept that what happened, take responsibility for it, and make every effort to insure that the past doesn't get repeated.
From there we headed to Nuremberg Castle (Kaiserburg Nurberg) and a great view of the city below.
A short walk later we were in the center city square and turned the ring on the "Der Schoene Brunnen" for good luck…
and watched the figures move in the tower of the Frauenkirche at noon.
We also sampled the famous "gingerbread" made here at Hauptmarkt, which is really more of a soft spicy scone than what we think of as gingerbread, and contains NO ginger! It was yummo.
When we got a chance to walk around on our own for a little while, we went to a local restaurant and had savory crepes. They were heavier than the crepes we had in Amsterdam, but they were pretty good! It was nice to take a break from the ship fare (which is pretty unimaginative from a vegetarian's standpoint!)
Mr. Tattered acted as the "lollipop" holder while our guide tried to locate the bus. He looked SO official!
Back on board the ship, we continued sailing on the Main-Danube Canal toward the Continental divide, where we would begin sailing "down" the river, rather than "up."
There was a spectacular sunset.
The captain lit up the marker for the continental divide, but my camera was totally unimpressed.
This marks the highest spot we'll be at, nearly 1,400 feet above sea level from the actual sea level we started at. Yeah, world's worst photo, but you gotta go with what you have!
Tomorrow we'll arrive in Regensburg, Germany.

Now, I know that biscuits are not on my usual list of things to eat since I have been working on losing weight. Apparently I was hungry today when I was on Pinterest, and I felt the need to share this fairly simple recipe for these yummy looking cheese biscuits. Yes, I said yummy looking, because no, I haven't tried the recipe yet! I will soon though! They look so good… Here's the recipe, or you can head on over to the original post yourself.
- 2 cups all purpose flour,plus more as needed
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1½ sticks cold unsalted butter, diced
- ½ cup cold buttermilk, shaken
- 1 cold egg
- 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
- 1egg, beaten
1. Preheat oven to 425 F degrees.
2. In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix well and place the bowl in the fridge for about 30 min.
3. Cut the cold butter into pieces, and let it sit out, we just want it to soften a bit.
4. Place the flour mixture in the bowl of a mixer and add the butter and the grated cheese. Using the paddle attachment mix until the butter forms into small peas. You can also do this by hand using a pastry blender.
5. Whisk the cold egg together with the buttermilk and add it to the mixer and continue mixing until the dough comes together.
6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and continue kneading a few times. Roll out the dough so that it's about half an inch thick to ¾ of an inch.
7. Using a round cookie cutter, you can also use a glass if you don't have a round cookie cutter, start cutting the biscuits. My cookie cutter was about 2 inches in diameter.
8. Brush the biscuits with the egg wash and bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes then let cool on a wire rack.
I can't wait to try out this recipe! If you beat me to it, (even if you don't) let me know how you like it!

Rail trail funding angers railway action group
THE Northern Rivers Railway Action Group called an emergency meeting on Monday night at Lismore Workers Club to address yesterday's announcement of State Government funding for a rail trail.
Spokeswoman for the action group, Bethany Shelley said she was devastated with the news and is concerned the State Government is no longer aware of community needs.
"I'm shocked and disappointed, but I kind of knew it was coming," Ms Shelley said.
"Just to see how many of our politicians aren't aware of the real needs of this community."
The group met at 5:30pm to discuss their plans moving forward to potentially prevent the trail from happening.
"We will hopefully be getting up there as much as possible, getting our film handed out so people can look at some information and trying to get the information that we have out into the community," Ms Shelley said.
Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall said while the state government thinks this is a great idea to boost tourism in the region, it doesn't necessarily mean the railway will never return.
"Now that doesn't mean that potentially trains can never come back onto the line, the rail corridor will always be there," Mr Marshall said.
"But what it does mean is that instead of it doing nothing as it is now, that if the community supports it a rail trail can be constructed there."
Although Ms Shelley is sceptical that these statements hold any truth.
"We're very doubtful about the claims that the rail trail is going to draw in tourists."
"Certainly once they have ripped up the railway tracks it will take a huge revolution or turn over in politicians before we see railway tracks again."
"They don't seem to be thinking about the serious needs of the community any more, they're mainly focused on the needs of big businesses and corporate interest."
"Once the rail trail legislation goes through (the railway) will be gone and the government will be able to sell off the land or do whatever they want with it."

Sean O'Kane, The Verge:
The Headphone is perhaps the idea Bragi should've gone with in the first place, because while the new earbuds certainly aren't perfect, they're miles better at performing their core task — audio streaming — than the Dash ever was. In fact, they're probably the best wireless earbuds I've used.
Two things are keeping me from buying the Bragi Headphone right now: the don't charge in their carrying case, and they don't turn off automatically when you remove them from your ears. Bragi's original Dash earbuds do both of those things, as do Apple's AirPods. Like the rest of the tech world, I'm eagerly and impatiently waiting for Apple to finally ship the AirPods (where they at, Phil?). If I decide I don't like the AirPods or if they don't fit me properly when I finally get them in my ears, I think I'll go for the Bragi Headphone instead, annoyances be damned.

Inside Higher Ed starts "Rethinking Research blog"Friday 14 July 2017
Over the last twelve years it has become clear concerns regarding reproducibility of research have risen. Not only the article "Why public research Findings are False" of John Ioannidis but also the lack of reproducibility of studies in the fields of psychology and cancer biology led to a so called reproducibility crisis. These concerns may undermine public confidence in science or lead to diminished funding for research. According to Stephanie Wykstra, research consultant and freelance writer for Inside Higher Ed, there has been plenty of coverage about the reproducibility crisis and its implications, but somewhat less attention has been paid to the question of how to move forward.
To give a boost to the answer of this issue, Inside Higher Ed publishes a series of articles from researchers leading initiatives to improve how academics are trained, how data are shared and reviewed, and how universities shape incentives for better research on the "Rethinking Research" blog. The first essay is to be found here. The rest of the series will relate to questions such as How are researchers trained? What resources and support do they receive? How do institutions respond to and reward their work?« back to the overview

Play of clouds and moon
I had suddenly decided to picture the moon one fine evening and took around 15 shots at the moon and only few were good enough to be identified as moon. I am putting two pictures here among those few, for my friends to see.
What sense does it really makes to describe the self. I am too honest to lie, and truth if revealed will create havoc. We all have strom inside, and when we describe we only talk about deep sea water which is all calm. It is actually not calm, it is pretending to be calm, otherwise battle of wind and water cannot be played on the surface.

STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF,v.RALPH MCGRANE, DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.IN THE MATTER OF DONALD DEL VECCHIO, APPELLANT,
On appeal from the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Morris County, Municipal Appeal No. 08-075.
Per curiam.
Argued February 22, 2010
Before Judges Yannotti and Chambers.
Donald Del Vecchio (Del Vecchio) appeals from an order entered by the Law Division on May 18, 2009, affirming the dismissal by the municipal court of certain criminal complaints filed by Del Vecchio against defendant Ralph McGrane (McGrane). For the reasons that follow, we dismiss the appeal.
This appeal arises from the following facts. Del Vecchio is employed as a corrections officer at the Morris County Correctional Facility. McGrane is his supervisor. On October 31, 2008, Del Vecchio was on duty in the loading area of the facility. McGrane approached him and a discussion ensued. Del Vecchio claimed that McGrane confronted him verbally and physically and used offensively coarse language. Del Vecchio filed a criminal complaint charging McGrane with aggravated assault against a corrections officer, contrary to N.J.S.A. 2C:12-1(b)(5)(h).
The municipal court conducted a hearing on November 18, 2008, to determine if there was probable cause for the complaint. Del Vecchio testified and presented a DVD recording of the incident. Thereafter, the court placed its decision on the record. The court observed that the DVD showed that McGrane and Del Vecchio had engaged in a "heated argument" and there was "some touching[.]" The court found, however, that the "touching" did not rise to the level of a criminal assault. The court accordingly concluded that the charge was not supported by probable cause and dismissed the complaint. Del Vecchio did not appeal from the order of the municipal court.
Del Vecchio thereafter filed three additional criminal complaints against McGrane, all arising from the October 31, 2008, incident. Del Vecchio charged McGrane with harassment, contrary to N.J.S.A. 2C:33-4; hindering apprehension, contrary to N.J.S.A. 2C:29-3(a); and tampering with a witness, contrary to N.J.S.A. 2C:28-5(a). On December 16, 2008, the municipal court held a probable hearing on these charges.
Del Vecchio testified. He said that he is the President of the union for the corrections officers and described the incident of October 31, 2008, during which he was allegedly harassed. Del Vecchio additionally testified that he filed a complaint with his employer regarding the incident. He said that, after he filed his complaint, McGrane called him into his office.
According to Del Vecchio, McGrane told him that if he pursued the matter, he was the only person who would be hurt. Del Vecchio said to McGrane that he believed this was a threat but McGrane replied that it was only "a saying." Del Vecchio told McGrane that he "took it as threat" and McGrane said he could "take it any way" he wanted to.
The court rendered a decision from the bench. The court found that none of the conduct described by Del Vecchio rose to the level of a criminal violation and dismissed the charges. Del Vecchio filed an appeal to the Law Division, which considered the matter on May 1, 2009.
McGrane argued that Del Vecchio did not have standing to pursue the appeal. The court disagreed, concluding that Del Vecchio had standing because he had filed his complaint as a law enforcement officer rather than as a citizen complainant. The court further found that, upon consideration of Del Vecchio's testimony, review of the DVD of the incident and the transcript of the municipal court proceeding, probable cause did not exist for the charges. The court entered an order dated May 18, 2009, affirming the municipal court's dismissal of the complaints. This appeal followed.
McGrane argues that Del Vecchio does not have standing to appeal the order of the municipal court dismissing his complaints for lack of probable cause. We agree.
In State v. Vitiello, 377 N.J. Super. 452 (App. Div. 2005), the complainant filed a harassment complaint against the defendant. Id. at 454. The Assignment Judge dismissed the complaint pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:2-11(b). Id. at 455. The statute allows an Assignment Judge to dismiss a prosecution when the defendant "did not actually cause or threaten the harm or evil sought to be prevented by the law defining the offense or did so only to an extent too trivial to ...

the visit may be over (and what fun we had), but the photos and memories will linger on! Christy just called from WI and they're safely home. None the worse for wear, just a little tired. Thought I'd post a few of the visit activitiess…
throwing boom-a-rangs in the field with Dad and Granddad. Look how dry that grass is…should be deep green and about ankle high :-(
Ernie and Rustin chopped wood and then Hunter helped load the trailer. Rustin did some neat stacking when they got the wood to the storage corral.
Hunter spent some time perfecting his technique with a new "wrist rocket" slingshot and pea gravel. He spent a little time with the bb gun too. That wasn't as novel as it was at Christmas. Dad bought him a bb gun when they got home last time.
Christy spent 95% of her time in the sewing room. We sewed borders together and finished a few of the tops. We cut and pieced backings and made bindings.
Wanda came and sewed with us on Tuesday. She brought 3 tops which Christy quilted while Wanda cut and made bindings.
Christy quilted 26 quilts while she was here!!! She was nearly inseperable from the HQ16! I only got to touch the machine once!
Hunter's piano practice at the church. Not his favorite part of the day, but practice is a necessary evil. This is his first year for lessons and if you can keep him focused, he can rip right through his chords and songs.
Thanks to my nice boss lady, fried okra was a frequent menu item. Christy was in okra heaven! We certainly ate well. Maybe too well judging by the groans after meals!
We made ice cream one night…Hunter got to see how that was done and had a turn at cranking the old timey ice cream freezer handle. He mixed candy in his bowl and made ice cream soup…the rest of us had assorted toppings and I think the treat was enjoyed by all :-)
Saying Goodbye is always hard. I was heading for work while the kids were loading up to head for the next stop and home. We had fun and their company will sure by missed. Thanks for coming down, we love you!

Totalmente Brasileiro
joao donato – quem e quem (odeon lp 1973) album
"Quem e Quem" loosely means who is who – something I can give a provisional answer to. Who is Brazilian composer/arranger/pianist Joao Donato on his first album as a singer. The second Who would be me – I finally tracked down a copy of this record some 10+ years after hearing it first.
The album features 12 songs in a little over half an hour that form a coherent whole made up out of very different songs. Donato, backed by a grooving yet unobtrusive trio and featuring the mighty Marcos Valle as a producer, reaches for the stars on "Quem e quem". The result is a record that no home should be without: driven by Donato's sincere voice and fender Rhodes piano, this is Brazilian MBP at it's finest. Desfrutar!
edited to correct my wobbly grasp of Portugese grammar…
February 13, 2012 3:14 am
Sorry, but you've missed the crucial accent on "e": "Quem é quem" = "Who's who".
Thanks for posting, cheers from Brazil! Fabricio
February 13, 2012 3:50 am
Sorry once more, I wasn't entirely clear, so I've noticed!
"Quem é quem" is "Who is who", not "Who is from whom", as I might have suggested (no genitive here!).
Abraço, Fabricio
February 13, 2012 3:55 am
"Who is who", not "Who is OF whom", I meant 😉
Blame it on the Carnival, that's already going on: every year it stars one day earlier, as we say! By 2300, we will live in permanent bliss! Global warming allowing, that is…

muito obrigado!

Who Killed Ceramic Jesus?
For half a year, since I bought Him at a rummage sale, there has been a Ceramic Jesus sitting in our window. The cats have been peacefully sitting in the window with Him while he guards the house or whatever it is Ceramic Jesuses are supposed to do. There was never any conflict, never any rivalry between Ceramic Jesus and The Cats; While they weren't exactly "buddies", there was certainly never any reason to suspect that things could ever go terribly awry, but today I came home and found this:
Ceramic Jesus had been brutally murdered and I knew that the culprit was still somewhere in the room. But none of them were talking. I knew it had to be one of the cats as they are avid secularists, but they were all curled up in various places pretending to be asleep. Since cats are notoriously uncooperative under interrogation anyway, I thought the best way to ascertain guilt would be to photograph the suspects with what was left of Ceramic Jesus and look for guilty reactions.
First I photographed the girls, Peanut and Vienna. They looked so deceptively sweet it immediately aroused my suspicions, but on examination of the photograph I can't detect any guilt.
In fact when Peanut was photographed alone with Ceramic Jesus, she looked downright traumatized by His condition. Next I moved on to Bram and Angelo:
.....And here I noticed something interesting. If my eyes aren't deceiving me, it looks as though Ceramic Jesus is inching toward Bram (on the left) and casting a somewhat wary eye towards Angelo.
Do I detect a glint of fear? Hmmmmm.......
So just to mix things up, I photographed Ceramic Jesus with Angelo and Papa Steve.
This time Angelo is seated on the left and is Ceramic Jesus - - ???......Why yes, I do believe Ceramic Jesus is pointing at Angelo!
Yeah, that's right. You've been caught!
You can run, but you can't hide, my friend!!

Thanks for the "LOL", Sparrow!
.....Lies where do you find all these links? It seems you have a link for every occasion. First "Cats for Gold" and now this? ; )
- Sally Carter said...
I'd say it was more of a birdie than a point from the ceramic man. However, it can't be denied, there's still a suggestion of culpability on the cat's part, which ever way you look at it.

Personally, I didn't think I was going to care much about these re-released lipsticks. I am not one for nostalgia, nor do I adore all things vintage. Many makeup lovers relish the idea of being able to don vintage colors and feel connected with the iconic beauty of the past. I am all about what's new and now, but when I saw these vintage lipsticks sitting in a modest display in my CVS, with most of the lipstick having been sold, I saw the colors on the label and was immediately drawn to the lipstick called Jungle Peach. It looked like such a sweet color, and I am always attracted to peach tones.
The five shades of Super Lustrous lipstick that Revlon chose to re-release for a limited time are:
-Icy Violet from 1946
-Snow Peach from 1956
-Sandstorm from 1999
-Fifth Avenue Red from 1958
-Jungle Peach from 1963
These shades appear to have hit stores around mid-February.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Jungle Peach is light-to-medium, warm-toned peach that leans more towards an orange-cream color than a pink-cream.
|Revlon Jungle Peach
|Jungle Peach swatched
|Jungle Peach on my MAC Face & Body N3 skin
On me, Jungle Peach begins to fade after about 30 minutes. Most notably though, it tends to settle into the lines of my lips and separate, with color gathering into the fine lines and looking thinner on the plump parts of my lips.
With a shade this pretty, I don't mind having to re-apply once an hour or so, but it's a shade I can't trust to stay on smoothly and I need to keep reminding myself to put more on.
I don't wear a lot of Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick so I don't know how the formula of these vintage shades compares to Revlon's regular line. I was going to try Snow Peach but if it wears anything like Jungle Peach I'm not sure that I want to buy it.
In any case, I think it's a gorgeous shade, especially for everyday wear. I would wear this shade to a job or an interview since it is so understated yet pretty at the same time. I would wear it day or night, with a nude eye or a smokey eye. I think it might be exceptionally pretty with a neutral eye with navy eyeliner, and it makes a great bridal color.
The Score: 3.5/5 Stars
How are you feeling about Revlon Vintage Super Lustrous Lipsticks? Have you tried any of the other colors like Icy Violet, Snow Peach, or 5th Avenue Red? How do you feel about vintage makeup in general?

Think of some of the great examples of this. Star Wars has to be one of the first films that come to mind. I don't think anyone who has seen them will forget those letters scrolling from overhead, informing all audiences of the battle going on somewhere "far, far away." You get everything you need to know at the start of the film in the span of a few short paragraphs, and from there, you're dropped right into a space battle. Information, then (relevant) action. Could there be a better way?
Gladiator, to a lesser degree, does the same thing. We find out the state of the Roman Empire and the battle history, and then find ourselves watching an epically awesome battle unfold before us. It's immediately relevant to the information that we needed. (OK, I'll admit, Gladiator is not necessarily the best follow-up to Star Wars in the example field, but I think it gets the job done.) There are dozens, hundreds of other films that follow this same procedure – the informative exposition (sometimes verging on off-screen inciting incident) followed by immediate, pertinent action that thrusts us deep into the story – be it through newsreels, TV montages, voice over, text, or any number of other approaches. The key, as we at the League decided at our meeting, is to have whatever happens next be relevant and put the audience right in the middle of the action.
This week, inspired in part by the meeting, I took a stab at opening a film that way. I started a new spec script, the basic premise of which revolves around new government legislation. Rather than attempt to craftily allude to the new policies through act one, I decided to try a cold opening with a press hearing, detailing what has happened. The approach, which I'm not sure will survive future drafts, allows me to get the necessary information out of the way immediately, so that I can quickly move into the heart of the story. We'll see how it goes. I enjoy how it turned out so far, but it's only the first page and I have A LOT of planning to do before I can really progress with this spec.
Have you tried writing heavily expositional openings before? What'd you think of it?

Judicial Precedent
The doctrine of binding precedent means the process whereby judges follow previously decided cases where the facts are of sufficient similarity. The doctrine of judicial precedent involves an application of the principle of stare decisis i.e., to stand by the decided. In practice, this means that inferior courts are bound to apply the legal principles set down by superior courts in earlier cases. This provides consistency and predictability in the law. RATIO DECIDENDI AND OBITER DICTUM
The decision or judgement of a judge may fall into two parts: the ratio decidendi (reason for the decision) and obiter dictum (something said by the way). RATIO DECIDENDI - The ratio decidendi of a case is the principle of law on which a decision is based. When a judge delivers judgement in a case he outlines the facts which he finds have been proved on the evidence. Then he applies the law to those facts and arrives at a decision, for which he gives the reason (ratio decidendi). OBITER DICTUM - The judge may go on to speculate about what his decision would or might have been if the facts of the case had been different. This is an obiter dictum. The binding part of a judicial decision is the ratio decidendi. An obiter dictum is not binding in later cases because it was not strictly relevant to the matter in issue in the original case. However, an obiter dictum may be of persuasive (as opposed to binding) authority in later cases. A difficulty arises in that, although the judge will give reasons for his decision, he will not always say what the ratio decidendi is, and it is then up to a later judge to "elicit" the ratio of the case. There may, however, be disagreement over what the ratio is and there may be more than one ratio. THE COURT HIERARCHY
Under s3(1) of the European Communities Act 1972, decisions of the ECJ are binding, in matters of Community law, on all courts up to and including the House of Lords. THE HOUSE OF LORDS
This is the highest court in the land unless a matter of EC law is involved. The House of Lords was bound by its own previous decisions until 1966 when Lord Gardiner LC announced a change of practice. The Practice Statement [1966] stated that although the House of Lords would treat its decisions as normally binding it would depart from these when it appeared right to do so. This power has been used sparingly. A decision of the House of Lords binds all lower courts.
The Court of Appeal is bound by decisions of the House of Lords even if it considers them to be wrong. In Young v Bristol Aeroplane Co Ltd [1944] the Court of Appeal held that it was bound by its own previous decisions subject to the following three exceptions: * Where its own previous decisions conflict, the Court of Appeal must decide which to follow and which to reject. * The Court of Appeal must refuse to follow a decision of its own which cannot stand with a decision of the House of Lords even though its decision has not been expressly overruled by the House of Lords. * The Court of Appeal need not follow a decision of its own if satisfied that it was given per incuriam (literally, by carelessness or mistake). Decisions of the Court of Appeal itself are binding on the High Court and the county court COURT OF APPEAL (CRIMINAL DIVISION)
In principle there is no difference in the application of stare decisis in the civil and criminal divisions of the Court of Appeal. In practice, however, in addition to the Young exceptions, because a person's liberty may be at stake, precedent is not followed as rigidly in the criminal division. In R v Taylor [1950] the Court of Appeal held that in 'questions involving the liberty of the subject' if a full court considered that 'the law has either been misapplied or misunderstood' then it must reconsider the earlier decision. THE HIGH COURT
The High Court is bound by the Court of Appeal and the House...

Giselle had spunk. She was a typical, healthy 5-month-old dog, energetic, and everything you would expect from a dog her age. One of my co-workers, a roommate of Giselle's owner, told me she was the "best and sweetest dog-ever".
Giselle's owner, who is also a co-worker of mine, had just adopted Giselle, a yellow lab, from a local animal shelter a couple months ago. Her friend and roommate had just got a bassett hound pup, and she wanted to get a dog herself. She talked about Giselle constantly, and loved this dog completely.
On September 25th, around noon, her roommate was planning to walk her bassett hound, Elliot. Giselle quickly escaped out of the open doorway, and took off.
Giselle's owner, her boyfriend, and roommate looked for Giselle as much as they could, to no avail. They thought she wouldn't be back. Talking to her roommate at work the same day, she suddenly recalled that Giselle had one of those chips that they sometimes put in animals in case of an incident such as this. It sounded promising that Giselle would be found.
Later that night, around 10:30 pm, Giselle's owner and her boyfriend would find her. They found her in a wash about a couple blocks away from their house, in a wash near Stone and Roger Road. (For those who don't know what a "wash" is--it's a dry river bed).
Giselle was unconscious. She was extremely hot. They rushed her to an animal hospital, where Giselle was treated.
This is where it gets really disturbing. When Giselle was found, she smelled of alcohol, one of her eyes were swollen shut, and she had an open sore near her neck. She was urinating blood. It appeared that whoever Giselle came in contact with that day, had beaten her badly. The injuries were not consistent with being hit by a car. The vet told Giselle's owner that she had suffered blunt force trauma and that her brain would not likely recover. She would have brain damage, but would live.
Five days later, Giselle died.
When you really think about it, Giselle's story really tells a lot about our society. The fine line between abusing animals and killing humans is too common to ignore. If you look into the history of serial killers, you will find a large majority had abused animals before moving on to killing people.
When will the person or persons that abused and tortured Giselle move on to humans?

You're buying a great alcohol rehab and if someone within your family is dependent on alcohol, then right from the start itself, ensure you understand what you ought to expect from the good alcohol rehab. Unique alcohol rehabs could have different type of principles and solutions thus you CAn't by going to only one or two alcohol rehabs generalize the structure of alcohol rehabilitation.
You should examine the plans of every of the alcohol rehab centers in second detail to know how they're implemented. This you will be the best option for that requirements of the individual and also can help you in understanding which system you need to use. These following items will allow you to in regards to choosing the good treatment program.
1. Whatever alcohol treatment you're seeking, make certain that you recognize what sort of treatment they'll present. It is because virtually every therapy center features a different sort of program plus ensure that the individual for whom you're thinking about the treatment is going to be more comfortable with this program and it becomes necessary for you yourself to checkout that program. Try and recognize every part of the therapy system and each written by the alcohol rehab center.
2. Be sure that this system works for your requirements of the individual. For this study all of the possible details about the rehabilitation within their official site. All-the critical features regarding the treatment center is going to be stated around the sites and therefore do read them.
3. Check all of the services provided in the alcohol treatment. The medical care is one of these. While some do not understand the type of attention offered in the alcohol treatment as some treatment offer 24hour treatment.
4. Furthermore the detox center distributed by the alcohol rehabilitation must be tested properly. Many alcohol rehabs have cleansing system included but few don't possess it thus ensure the alcohol treatment you're picking has it.
5. If you'll not verify the alcohol treatment because of their cleansing plan, then you may need to change if you will be sent by the therapy to a different heart for cleansing therapy which is going to be inconvenient for you.

In my world: The safest lions' den in the world
I found the lightweight mattress folded into a sofa-like shape in the space in between the kids' beds the other day.
This, according to DD is the lions' den. It only has friendly lions. So bunny, is perfectly safe. 🙂
Sometimes in the middle of cleaning the rooms, I discover little gems left behind by the children. This Friday series was started with the intention of celebrating the imagination and creativity in a young child's world…and hoping that it'll bring a little ray of inspiration and joy to your day, as it does mine.

I am so excited for ALA Annual this year! I was talking to a friend about it yesterday and freely admitted that my library dork side takes over for conferences. While I have yet to experience a meaningful local conference, I always come away from the national ones feeling inspired and rejuvenated, and having learned something – actually, many somethings!
If you haven't planned on attending but are local to the D.C. area, you might want to reconsider. Registration is still open. Even if you just spring for the $25 exhibit hall pass, you can get a lot out of the exhibits: freebies, author readings and signings, cooking demos, networking…check out all the options related to graphic novels alone! A not-so-secret secret is that some vendors give out free passes for the exhibit hall. If you are local and are interested, leave me a comment before Thursday morning and I'll forward you some of the emails I have received.
If you cannot attend, you can always consider the ALA Virtual Conference.
If you will be attending, please say hi! I am seriously shy in person and am often sitting alone, keeping myself busy by reading or checking my phone, so feel free to come up to me. Here is a picture of me from last weekend so you might recognize me:
I do have long hair, but due to the D.C. hotness, I will probably have it back or up a lot anyways.
As the chair of the YALSA Local Arrangements committee, I am required to attend a lot of the YALSA events. You are guaranteed to find me at the following:
7 – 9 pm: Spectrum Scholars Professional Options Fair
9 am – 5 pm (will leave early): YALSA pre-con It's Perfectly Normal
4 – 5 pm: YALSA 101
5 – 7 pm (at some point): YALSA happy hour
7 – 9 pm: Kidlit happy hour
8 – 10 am: YALSA Leadership Development
10:30 am – 12 pm: YALSA All Committee
12 – 1:30 pm: Margaret A. Edwards Luncheon

I hope to meet people and reconnect with friendly faces! Please say hi if you see me!

One album I've listened to quite a bit lately is 24 Hours A Day by The Bottle Rockets. It's a fine album.
Although you could interpret the first song's lyrics as being creepy, if you have the band's acoustic album, Not So Loud, you know the song is really about the lead singer being at the VP Fair in St. Louis and not being able to see Dolly Parton perform. He could hear her, but the only spot he could find was one where he couldn't see her.
In typical Bottle Rockets fashion, the second tune is about a guy held hostage by car repair issues: "I'm stuck in Indianapolis with a fuel pump that's deceased."

Yet again the UMNO racist religious extremist and supremacist regime by design segregated and separated the traditional 200 year old hindu ritual (especially for Thaipusam) riverbed from the main Batu…
Yet again the UMNO racist religious extremist and supremacist regime by design segregated and separated the traditional 200 year old hindu ritual (especially for Thaipusam) riverbed from the main Batu Caves temple on the following counts:-
1. The Sentul Railway station is a dead end. If only this Railway station had been shortened and brought forward and built on the empty piece of land just before the main road leading to Batu Caves, a whole long stretch of this Batu Caves ancestral riverbed could have been preserved and maintained as part and parcel of the Batu Caves Heritage and to be in tune with Batu Caves being a World Heritage Site.
2. Was the closure of the main road from the said riverbed to the Batu Caves Hindu Temple to make way for some UMNO linked companies to make hundreds of millions of Ringgit Malaysia by the building of the spiraling elevated bypass across the railway tracks.
3. Why wasn't an overhead railway bridge built instead which would have cost a fraction of the spiraling elevated bypass and in order to maintain this ancestral and heritage walkway from the said riverbed to the Batu Caves hindu temple.
4. In the alternative why wasn't an underground railway passageway not built to maintain this walkway from the said riverbed to the Batu Caves hindu temple.
5. The whole row of 20 traditional up to fifth generation Indian flower shops leading to Batu Caves has now been by passed with the building of this new spiraling elevated bypass and which risk closure at anytime now.
6. Why didn't the Selangor state government, the 82 PKR,DAP or PAS MPs' and/or in particular it's Indian MPs', Exco member, State Assemblymen or Senator mandores order a Stop Work Order with the view to restore this original historical, traditional , and heritage walkway to Batu Caves.
7. Even now we demand for the restoration of the original road and the maintainance and preservation of the original walkpath to Batu Caves. The present PKR led Selangor state goverment even at this juneture can act at least to undo these injustices.
8. Why didn't the PKR led P.R. Selangor state government lodge an MACC report on the possible acts of the corrupt practices by these UMNO linked companies that unduly benefited from this project.
9. The Batu Caves Tamil school has now been cut off from the riverside part of Batu Caves and also causing grave inconvenience to parents and school children forced to cross the steep,dangerous and unsafe overhead bridge across the railway lines to get to their school.
10. Why couldn't the original Railway gate crossing be preserved and the then existing road been maintained which would have cost a fraction of the cost of this spiraling elevated bypass.
11. We are not aware of a public signboard and any advertisement in especially all the three Tamil newspapers notifying the eventual closure of this ancestral walkpath from the riverbed to Batu Caves hindu temple. Why?

Woods had a variety of performances from the January 2015 cruise recorded and they have just been issued on Club 88 Records (distributed by VizzTone), "Jammin' On The High C's" which is subtitled "Live From Mitch Woods' Club 88 on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise." Its a fun recording with his boogie and jump piano joined on different selections by members of Roomful of Blues, Julia Magness, Billy Branch, Victor Wainwright, Papa Chubby, Coco Montoya, Lucky Peterson, Tommy Castro and Dwayne Dopsie.
Mostly the music is renditions of well known blues standards played in an ebullient fashion with Woods handling the old Smiley Lewis classic "Big Mamou" to open it up. Highlights are Lucky Peterson singing Jimmy Reed's "Bright Lights, Big City," Billy Branch reprising Sonny Boy Williamson's "Eyesight to the Blind," Papa Chubby handling "Wee Wee Hours," and Dwayne Dopsie joining on a rocking "Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On." One also gets entertained by Tommy Castro singing Little Richard's "Rip It Up," and a nice "Rock Me Baby" from Coco Montoya.
My major criticism is the lack of fuller personnel information (although I might imagine it would be pretty lengthy), and more seriously the lack of composer credits. These performances are entertaining and fun if not classic and the sense of good times comes though on this nicely put together recording which includes Woods reciting the history of Club 88. Certainly one of aspects of the Cruise that makes it a consistent sell-out.
I received my review copy from VizzTone. This review originally appeared in the September-October Jazz & Blues Report (Issue 362). Here Mitch previews this disc.

Sherbet stars, rainbow ice,
a sugary castle in the land of sweets—
where ice cream houses stand along
the white, creamy, milky streets.
The sky is cream, the earth is candy,
and the moon a big white sugar drop.
At the pink cotton candy fair,
the carousel has a big red cherry on top.
The pixie-dust clouds come and pass,
the lemon sun rises and sets,
the fishermen out in the lemonade sea
catch candy fish in their peppermint-string nets.
Ice cream ships blast off into
the galaxy of honey and milk.
And on the land below, the people
don apparel made from chocolate silk.
Yes, there is nowhere quite as sweet
as right here in the land of sweets,
with its rainbow ice, its cream sky,
its sugary castle, and its milky streets.

Wonderful news....Barb's baby was not sick...she was just sprouting beautiful brown baby hair. She is so happy now and looks just so sweet.
