Illegal imposition of Hindi !!!
Official languages rule, 1976 !
(ii) They shall extend to the whole of India, except the State of Tamilnadu.
How the rule is broken:
The percentage of work being done in Hindi during the period in the Ministry was:
61% in Region 'A'
46% in Region 'B'
34% in Region 'C'.
Region c denotes states like TN where hindi is not so popular. Communications in a central govt institute within these regions are "stipulated to be in hindi". In this case out of every 100 documents/letter, 34 has to be in hindi.
Some innovative imposition schemes by the central govt.http://chemicals.nic.in/annrep03-04.pdf
Section 7 of this document talks about hindi propagation - use about 20,000 words in hindi and win cash prize !
Sections of the Ministries/Departments where entire work to be done in Hindi - Minimum 7 Sections.
Originating Correspondence in Hindi (including Telegrams, Wireless, Telex, Fax, Drawings etc.)From C to C 55%From Region C to Offices/ individuals in States/UTs of A & B region 85%
FOR C-region:Originating Correspondence in Hindi (including Telegrams, Wireless, Telex, Fax, Drawings , E-mails etc. ) From C to A 55%From C to B 55%From C to C 55%Sections of the Ministries/Departments where entire work to be done in Hindi - Minimum 08 Sections.
The above is for C-regions that includes places like TN, WB. This also includes communication within a state in the c-region, like from Madras to Trichy. Now, why should they (non-hindi regions) communicate within their own regions in an alien language ?
(D) Hindi Typist / Stenographer - Minimum one in each office. Indirect means of job creation for the hindi ppl.
(E) Arrangement of Interpreters - Arrangements of interpreters from local language in Hindi & vice-versa should be made in every Mission/ Embassey.
Crap - why would someone wanna have an interpreters for local language (say, chinese to hindi ???) in Indian consulate in China ?

Here are my thoughts on why Hindi shouldn't be the national language of India. Enjoy!!

I am a south Indian and I think your blog reeks of hatred towards the Hindi-speaking. I can read, write, and speak fluent Hindi, and ther reason I opted for it is because a majority of this country can understand that language against the paltry numbers that my mother tongue can muster up.
Tamilians somehow seem to think that there language is superior. You do not have half the syllables that are present in the other languages, Tamil is phonetically imperfect compared to most of the Indian languages, and if you count the Jnanpith awardees, you know that your literature does not make it either.
In my three years in Chennai, I did not see any festival being celebrated with the pomp and splendor like in the rest of India.
It might do well for you to realize that the rest of India is bound by a common culture with respect to Hindi movies. Unfortunately, Tamil Nadu looks and feels like a separat entity than the rest of India. Do not be under the impression that the northies look down upon you. The southies and the Tamilians settled elswhere do not have a great opinion either.
You blog sucks dude! Get one non Tamillian to agree with it and I will give you a pat on the back.

Tamil does not have the complicated syllables present in other languages since Tamil is one of the oldest languages and hence has a pretty simple form. Along the same lines, I would like to point out that the word "Dravid" == Dra-vi-d is the closest sanskrit equivalent for Ta-mi-l - this is used since sanskrit lacked the syllables for Tamil :)
Your comments regarding festivals and films reflects your immaturity and I prefer not to humiliate you any further by digging into an aspect that is incomprehensible to you.
This blog is objective and has varied and neutral sources of links that has been presented for the individuals to realize the imposition of hindi.
Read through the blog comments to see non-Tamils agreeing with me. You can also find many non-Tamils in this petition:
Regarding numbers, I suggest you read this:
If the news sources and other related links are too intimidating for you to understand, dont be dejected, for denial is the first step in comprehending truth - all the best !

They are not keeping their promises of Tamil annoucements which they made before elections.
Many airport posts in Tamil Nadu are requiring Hindi and English only and not Tamil. This is a clear case where preferance is being given to natural speakers of Hindi. Most of the security staff in Chennai and other airports in Tamil Nadu dont speak Tamil are quite rude.
Also imposition of Hindi is continuing in many CBSE schools across Tamil Nadu. WHile III language Hindi is a must, people taking II language Hindi are not required to take Tamil. I will tell you the portions of III language Hindi is no less than that of II language; for non-natural speaker of Hindi, it is putting Tamils at a very big disadvantage. Obviously Hindi speakers have far less portions. They dont have to learn an extra script.
Also many Central government corporations like Neyveli Lignite Corporation, CHennai Petroleum, Indian Bank (all Tamil Nadu based institutions) have banned Tamil from official communication. People have to clear a Hindi exam for appointment inside Tamil Nadu.
No one is telling it is wrong to learn Hindi, but this discrimination within Tamil Nadu against Tamil language and against Tamils should be addressed first.
Tamil needs to gets is due place within Tamilnadu. DMK has failed their promise of mandating Hindi announcements in Tamil Nadu.
CBSE schools particular Sainik school, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Kendriya Vidyalaya are imposing Hindi on Tamil while Hindi-speakers can skip Tamil altogether. Even British colonialists learnt Tamil. This is inspite of DMK's claim of credit in getting Tamil compulsory from Std I to X. Why are CBSE schools being exempted?
It is urged TN Government fight this menace of Hindi imposition in jobs and schools in Tamil Nadu first.

The central govt in Delhi has plans to wantonly ignore other languages and pave the way for their decline by sole use of Hindi and by the portrial of India to the outside world as Hindia.
Except for some sentiments raised by Tamils, other language speakers are simply taking it for granted to accept Hindi as their officated mother tongue.
Some examples of Hindian propoganda by both the Hindian central government and large MNCs:
1>Gas books across India printed only in Hindi and English
2>Air Hindia, Hindian Airlines, S(J)et(h) Airway etc having announcements only in English and Hindi.
3>Hindi being compulsory in CBSE schools while Hindian can choose to skip the state language in favour of Sanskrit
4>Lack of opportunity of native Tamils in the north leave alone North Indians to learn Tamil and other southern languages in their areas
5>Tamil being portrayed with lude 'comical' roles in Hindian films
6>Hindian railways train tickets skipping the state language
7>Airports (like in Madras) hiring Hindians who cant speak Tamil/state language
8>Hindian Railway and other Hindian institution websites restricted to only Hindi and English
9>Hindian movies only being sent to the Oscars and other cultural events ignoring other languages
10>Hindian bank passbooks skipping the state language
11>ATMs of most banks (Citibank, Hindian Bank etc restricting to Hindi and English)
12>Looking down on states of Tamil Nadu because of refusal to prescribe to "accept-Hindi-as-your-language" attitude
13. The very use of the term "Regional language" to non-Hindi languages
14. The use of Hindian stickers in trains and else portaying "speaking Hindi is nationalism" and other propoganda messages stating use of English or non-Hindi as not being nationalistic.
15. The very absence of languages other than Hindi on the symbol of citizenship of the country– the passport
The above is a part of a sinister policy create to transform India to simply Hindia or Hindistan.
These remarks are taken as fascist…but you need to ask yourself whether the National Language policy of India itself isnt fascist.
If you trace the history since independence regarding the use of language apart from Hindi, you can foretell the future plan for this fascist policy.
This Hindian fascism should not make it a big mistake for India to be a lingual union. The last thing for the country is encouragement a colonial attitude by speakers of the "elevated" lingo.
DMK, PMK and other Tamil traitors are happy with this scenario as they are in business with their Hindian masters who safeguarding the TN reservation policy, where several Hindi OBCs get reservation in TN while Tamil FCs are thrown out. Their vote bank has been assured by their Hindian masters.

The government of South Africa is set to reduce spending on catering, entertainment and venues by 8% per annum, as well as reducing spending on travel and subsistence by 4% per year.
This was announced by finance minister Nhlanhla Nene in his recent budget speech.
Some observers believe the cut symbolises the bad shape of the South African economy, which has been going through hard times since President Jacob Zuma took power and which pushed it to second place in Africa behind oil-rich Nigeria.
But the announcement seems to have frustrated industry watchers and stakeholders.
Gillian Saunders, head of advisory services at Grant Thornton, said this week: "We are concerned that these cuts will have a massive impact on some of our already-battling hotels, conference venues, restaurants and entertainment facilities which the government uses.
"Government is a major purchaser in the hospitality and tourism sectors and significant cuts like these are going to hurt a number of businesses."
Reacting to the minister's announcement about the increase of the money allocated to the ministry of tourism, Saunders said the increase was still small and not enough to boost the development of the sector.
"If we really want the sector to perform, it needs a quantum leap in budget allocation. Our marketing budget doesn't compare to other global competitive destinations especially if we take our weak rand into consideration," she said.

Long Beach Wedding at The Aquarium of the Pacific
I love animals. Everyone who knows me probably hears that within the first few hours of meeting me. When I was in elementary school, I picked the same Trapper Keeper every single year–the one with the wrinkle dog on the cover. I am obsessed with otters, walruses, squirrels, owls, persian cats, and terrier dogs. I think you get the point.
So no one should be surprised that I was ECSTATIC to create the flowers for Courtney & Alex at the Aquarium of the Pacific! A wedding and animals??? This was really exciting. I loved the idea of the aquarium as a wedding venue.
These photos are from Michael Farmer. How fantastic is that giant fish tank as a backdrop?
Courtney is an amazingly nice, smart, and sweet girl. She was planning her wedding in California while in the middle of earning a graduate degree in New York. A typical bride would have been stressed to the nth degree, but Courtney was calm and lovely on her wedding day. She chose pink as her main wedding color and she wanted each of her bridesmaids to carry a different bouquet. I used pure tulips for one bridesmaid, lisianthus for another, and roses for the third. Courtney's bridal bouquet was comprised of soft, romantic pink flowers including: roses, lisianthus, and berries.
Here are some photos of the flowers during set up….

CPAC Inc. eked out a quarterly profit despite a 5 percent drop in sales for the period, the company announced Wednesday.
The maker of Fuller Brush cleaning products and of photographic chemicals is headquartered in the Livingston County community of Leicester, about 45 miles east of Buffalo.
Sales for the quarter ended Sept. 30 were $22.3 million, down from $23.5 million a year ago.
Profits rose to $207,000, or 4 cents per share, compared to a loss of $136,000 or 3 cents a share last year.
The profits reflect the success of cost-control initiatives and improved profit margins, the company said.
"Our continued dividend underscores our belief that our fiscal restraint during our restructuring period will soon be reflected in increased profits going forward," president and chief executive Thomas N. Hendrickson said in a statement.
The board declared a quarterly cash dividend of 7 cents per share, payable Dec. 17 to shareholders of record on Nov. 24.
The decline in overall sales masked strong increases for the Fuller Brush segment and for two international imaging locations, the company said.

Well that wasn't very nice. I've just been sent an e-mail by an acquaintance that started off in a beautiful way with flowers, and saying how blessed I was if I had a roof over my head and food in the fridge, etc, and how many people in the world were not so blessed, and how lucky I am not to be one of the billions who can't see to read those words, have enough food to eat, have parents who were still alive etc – all true, and I'm not disputing the fact that yes, I am very lucky to be living the life that I have I the country that I'm in.
Unfortunately right at the end it said that I had so many blessings, but that blessings can't stop with anyone unless I pass them on to others!! Implying, of course, that if I don't pass this chain e-mail on to my poor unsuspecting friends the blessings will all be withdrawn.
Well I could certainly do without incurring bad luck at the moment, but I had the choice. Did I selfishly decide to protect myself and keep the blessings by passing the e-mail on to my friends? Or did I decide to protect them from seeing it and being faced with the same dilemma?
Well, there was no choice. I replied to the sender asking her as a friend not to send me any more of these things because I will not pass them on to my other friends and I will always delete them, so she will always be sending me bad luck of one sort or another. I'll be very wary of things coming from her direction – and others – from now on.
We might be in the 21st Century now, and superstition might not be as strong as it used to be, but these things are very unsettling and I don't like them. The ones promising endless wealth if I pass them on and abject poverty if I bin them are laughable, but the ones with implied threats in them like this are just despicable, and I deleted it without forwarding it to anybody.
Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that Doom doesn't come and get me …

7 hot cocktails for a frigid Pittsburgh winter
Newsletter for Tuesday, Nov 28 2017
Instagram of the Day
A possible fix for the ailing PWSA
On Monday, the final recommendations of a consultancy firm studying possible fixes for Pittsburgh's troubled water and sewer authority were revealed. The 50-page report from Infrastructure Management Group includes suggestions that the entire water system be transferred from the city to an independent entity, in part to prevent political influence, the Post-Gazette reported. Meanwhile, a panel appointed by Mayor Bill Peduto is reviewing IMG's work and is due to deliver its own recommendations to the mayor by year's end.
Higher (cost of) education
An annual report from the College Board rates Pennsylvania's public universities as some of the most expensive in the country. And the costs are rising as state appropriations funding falls flat, experts say. "In Pennsylvania, the decline in appropriations per student has been much sharper than it has been in most other states," Sandy Baum, co-author of the College Board report, told WITF. "And in fact, in Pennsylvania they appropriate less per student than in every other state except for Vermont and New Hampshire." The report goes on to cite average in-state tuition and fees totaling more than $14,000 in the 2017-18 academic year — the third highest in the country.
Art or criminal threat?
Today, the Pa. Supreme Court is expected to hear the case of Jamal Knox, whose 2009 rap lyric referencing a convicted Pittsburgh cop killer earned him criminal charges and two to six years in state prison. Knox took his case to the high court arguing that the lyrics amounted to artistic expression and protected speech under the First Amendment. But authorities disagree, the PG notes. Depending on the state Supreme Court's ruling, Knox's case could go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Featured Event

The European Media Arts Festival is itself known for offering attendees a current overview of experimental films, installations, performances, digital formats and hybrid forms from around the world.

A Good Deed Returns The Unexpected
Happy Posts: Share Your Story. Change a Life.
Happy Posts was born out of a vision to create a place where people could come and tap into something positive. It is a place to share those special moments that uplifted you in your everyday life. Everyone gathers here for the same reason: to hear the good that has happened in the lives of others. It is a place where every story is important; everyone is welcome.
Unexpected Return
I had a very interesting (and happy) thing happen to me a few weeks ago. It was a Wednesday, and I had just picked up my son from the daycare. We were pulling out of the parking lot, when I noticed someone across the street with the hood up on their car. Normally, I wouldn't have stopped (especially not with my son in the car), but I had a feeling I needed to.
So, I pulled over there, got out of the car and was met by a woman in her mid 40's. She was dressed professionally, and by the way she looked, I thought maybe she was a doctor, lawyer or the like. I remember thinking to myself that surely she had a cell phone and had already called for help. Still, I went on over to her.
She told me her car had died on her way to the airport. She was going out of town for a couple of days to visit with her mother, who was ill. She was so upset about the car that she dropped her cell phone on the pavement while trying to call for help and it wouldn't work any more. I told her not to worry, I had one and I'd stay with her until help came.
She made a couple of calls and had someone on the way to tow her car. She couldn't get in touch with her husband. Having a few minutes to spare and not being that far from the airport, I told her I'd run her to catch her plane if it would help. She was so excited I offered! She thanked me and we got her bags from the back of the car. Once her car was on its way, I drove her to the airport, we exchanged numbers and she was on her way. I felt really good.
I talked to her again after she returned. She called just to thank me again for rescuing her. And, asked if I would give her my address so she could mail me a thank you card. I gave it to her and we hung up. Several days later, a card arrived from her. Written inside the face of the card was this note:
"It is so wonderful that there are people in this world still willing to go out of their way to do something nice for strangers. I was very distraught the day you stopped, but you calmed me down and helped me on my way. Thanks to you, I was able to go visit with my mother. What you don't know is that she will not be around much longer. This was my last visit with her, I'm afraid. So, thank you for helping me to do that. I would be making a mistake if I did not try to repay your kindness. I know you helped me and did not expect anything in return. (Which makes it that much better!) Enclosed is a token of thanks from my husband and me. Do something nice for your family with it."
Enclosed was a check for $500.00. I was dumfounded. What she didn't know was that my wife had lost her job a couple of months ago. She had found another one, but we were a little behind. That day, I had been wondering where we were going to get the money to make some of our bills. Now, here I sat with the money we needed. I guess the lesson is obvious. Do good, get good. And, I'm thankful for that

No, it wasn't. To paraphrase my response at the time, I still don't know that I have it in me. I've started this dozens of times, only to repeatedly give it up as hopeless. It's been a very strange, very exhausting, and very inexpressible weekend. It feels like we've lived an entire year compressed into the space of 3 days. I don't know how to describe "purple" to a blind person. I don't know how to describe the final movement of Beethoven's Ninth to a deaf person. Spock didn't know how to describe being dead to Dr. McCoy.
I don't know how to describe the floods to someone who wasn't there.
I do know I couldn't do justice in any attempt to describe it to the me of 8 days ago. After my abortive attempts, the best approach I've been able to settle on is this. What follows is a collection of quick snapshots; stories from Thursday through Monday. Each story, taken individually, is a momentary pearl of time. Collectively, my hope is that they may begin to capture the city, the atmosphere, what it was like to be there.
The stories are in no particular order: indeed I have explicitly randomized them.
I also do not have any photos, except for the one at the end. I was too busy with everything else to bother with such seeming trivialities. There are plenty of photos on twitter, on facebook, on the news websites, on other blogs, on everywhere else you look. Most of you have seen many photos already. I don't have anything to add.
- socks
I was about to go outside again. Opened the drawer to get out another pair of dry socks, and... there were none left. On my bed, safely out of reach of the cats, I had lined up to dry all the socks I'd worn already the last few days, one pair for each trip outside. Lined in chronological order, they also thus construed a spectrum of sogginess, ordered from most-wet to, um, slightly less-wet. I could toss them in the dryer, but it seemed pointless as they would just get soaked again in seconds. And besides, it's not like my shoes were dry anyway. So I shrugged, grabbed the least wet pair, put them on and went out.
I've discovered I own eleven pairs of socks.
- food trucks
They were there again. One of the most omnipresent signs of a city under water has been the food trucks. Every where. Fanning out to all four quadrants, finding anyone in need, everyone in a shelter: the brightly painted fleet of the city's food trucks. Free food! For anyone evacuated. Free food! For anyone in a shelter, wondering when they can go home, and what they will find when they do. Free food! For anyone volunteering, helping out their fellow citizen. Free food! Just because everyone needs a little pick-me-up. Wherever there were people helping, or people being helped, or just people. The food trucks were there.
- clean water
The city assured everyone the municipal water supply was just fine. "But please be considerate of the amount you use as our system is being stressed." I had faith, but not everyone did. The shelter was asking for water, and I had those two 5-gallon jugs, intended for the cooler standing guard by the kitchen door. I would be fine on tap water for the next couple of days. So out I went, dragging my hand cart behind me with the jugs loaded up.
The car screeched to a halt beside me, the driver rolled down the window. "Where did you get those?" she frantically asked. "Where??!?" I shrugged my shoulders: "I could tell you, but I got them, like, three months ago. I don't know how useful it would be." It wouldn't be the last time I went through this conversation on the way to the shelter. Not by a long shot.
- the old hotel
The drop-in center, right beside the river, was one of the first to go. Probably as early as Thursday afternoon, the rising waters forced a decampment to the former Quality Hotel in the northeast, far away from the rivers and the chaos. Instead when I arrived to drop off supplies, I discovered a little adjunct colony of chaos, created there in the abandoned building. Perishables in the former gym, non-perishables in the lounge. Water in the lobby, toiletries in the old swimming pool. Blankets and towels in the kitchen. Those in charge were volunteers, recruited on-the-spot when they came by 5 minutes previously, and asked if there was anything they could do to help. Given a task by someone, also a volunteer, who had arrived maybe 10 minutes before that and gone through a similar ritual then. In the half hour I was there, I don't think I met a single volunteer who had been there longer than an hour. Certainly no-one who "knew" what they were doing.
Turtles, all the way down.
- noise of the city
The strangest thing, looking across the valley at downtown, was how quiet it all was. And yet... not quiet; rather just absent of all the noise of the city. No traffic, no voices. Instead, the air was filled with a different kind of noise: water. Rocks tumbling crashing and cracking in the middle of the neverending torrent of water suddenly unbridled. Water smashing into bridges, rocks crashing into trees. Yes, water smashes. Fast water like this smashes. And under everything, when you stood still, and listened to the water long enough. Under everything, the constant droning monotone of a legion of worker bees. The humming and buzzing of a thousand and one pumps, valiantly trying to empty the city streets of the water, dumping it back into the ever so slowly-receding river.
- #nap4nenshi
One of my favourite tweets:
Montreal's mayor: arrested; Toronto's mayor: disgraced; Calgary's mayor: awake for 40 hours doing his job. #nap4nenshi #yycflood #dedication
- life goes on
On Sunday, life outside the valley was again close enough to normal that my friend Namrata's wedding was still on. Namrata, a Hindu, was getting married to Bryan, an Irish Mormon. One half of the wedding was held in saris and sherwanis, the other half in tartan. The reception was held in a former Pizza Hut. Any other week, such an event would have been all I could write about. Now it seems almost quotidian.
- paint
In retrospect, last Wednesday was not, after all, the best time to repaint the AWA front steps and porch. Before it had even set, rain washed all the paint off the steps and onto the sidewalk outside, turning it a streaky, dirty olive green. A day later the waters came, and washed the sidewalk clean.
We will try again, sometime later this summer.
- crescent heights
For the most part, people heeded the mayor's plaintive cries to stay away from the river, stay out of downtown, stay out of the valleys. Instead, they thronged by the hundreds along the top of crescent heights. Perched atop this makeshift amphitheatre, we all gazed out over the city, some huddled under umbrellas, some out in the open, defying the weather to cow us, all watching. Watching the flood waters creep, rise, and rush through the streets below, breaking loose of the now roaring river and drowning it, rendering its former boundaries first indistinct, then finally, completely invisible. The food trucks were there to cater. Late into the night as downtown turned an eerie inky black rent only by the the flashes of helicopters, blockades and emergency vehicles, the audience watched and listened; the food trucks kept on serving.
- a canadian moment
At the corner of 14 St. and 5 Ave. the traffic light was out. Indeed, there was no power anywhere in Hillhurst, with the nearest working light at least a kilometre away. Nor was there any motorized traffic, to speak of. Only a block or two away, waters were lapping at buildings, and roads impassable shortly thereafter. Police blockades were keeping all non-essential vehicles off the main roads anyway. Nevertheless the umbrella'd man a block ahead of me strode up to the light, pressed the button, and waited. Content to wait for a light with no power and no traffic to direct. I passed him by, turned the corner onto 14th, and wandered up the hill, towards the part of the city that still had agency.
- calgary's new swimming pool
You may have seen photos of the inside of Calgary's latest olympic-size swimming venue, formerly known as the Saddledome. The water came just up to our seasons-ticket seats. So far as we can tell, we would have been sitting dry, but with our feet in the water. The players might have had a bit more on their plate.
By Wednesday, the (more traditional) municipal Bowview swimming pool was already open, glistening aquamarine, and full of kids enjoying the early arrival of their summer holidays.
- soundtrack to a flood
I picked up Skye Wallace's Bison Bison at the Hillhurst farmer's market last Wednesday; the solstice market where AWA had a display. Skye was playing as part of a lineup of artists who were in town to play the Sled Island Music Festival, but had been invited to the market to play a preview of the festival. Standing by my display at the back of the market, I found her voice really enchanting. I was lucky enough to run into her on my way out, and made sure to buy copies of her albums.
I listened to Bison Bison over and over all weekend long. It has become my soundtrack to the flood.
Sled Island was cancelled this year. I hope Skye made out okay.
- normalcy?
AWA was open again on Monday, and I've been at work since. Back to so-called normal. I haven't been able to help out at all since; instead only able to watch twitter, watch the news, hear all the calls and requests for volunteers, and not be able to escape the office. I have spent the last week feeling frustrated and resentful. It's nothing so melodramatic as survivor guilt of course. But I wonder if it's not, at least, a distant cousin.
- down the hill
I stood at the top of the hill and looked down into the valley, for quite a long while. It was still early on Friday and emergency services had yet to make many forays into the rain. Nevertheless I hesitated. Things were normal enough topside. But there was no-one down there. No-one in the streets, no traffic, no power, no noise. I wondered how much trouble I would get into by venturing into the no-go zone. But AWA was near the edge of the zone... only three blocks from the base of the hill. I could just run in, check the situation, run back out, and be back up the hill before anyone even noticed I was there. Couldn't I?
- the onset
I think the most surprising thing was just how fast it all came on. I was originally supposed to run in the K100 Kananaskis Relay Race on Saturday. Late Thursday morning, all was still normal; we heard something about high water levels in Canmore and the fact that Cougar Creek was running high. When I left work for squash around 4:30, there was a report that there was a mudslide on the Kananaskis highway. "But don't worry," the K100 website reassured us, crews anticipated having the slide cleaned up by Saturday, and the race was still on. By the time the squash was over, and I was back online, not much later than 7:30, the world had Changed. 17 communities in Calgary had received mandatory evacuation notices, a dozen more towns and cities outside, the same. Those numbers would double within the next few hours. Travel inside the city was discouraged, and on the highways outside, banned, with road closures everywhere west of Calgary. The race, needless to say, had been canceled. Barely three hours, from normal to a disaster area. The river was rising fast enough to be seen by the naked eye.
Of all the things I will least forget, right at the top would be the speed of the onset.
- monitoring twitter
I brought my laptop back from AWA and set it up with the intent of getting work done at home, where I had (at least intermittent) power and internet connectivity. After not too long, I gave it up as hopeless, and instead just sat, watching the twitter feed scroll and scroll and scroll. Periodically, when I saw a call for supplies, I grabbed what I could and headed out, or went out to fill up my hand cart at one of the stores that was still open. Returning home, I got back onto twitter, and resumed watching the scroll. Throughout Friday, late into the night and then into Saturday morning, the alternating feeds of Twitter and supply runs, spiralling around and around each other; over and over and over.

By Charles Warner
UNION COUNTY — Even though as much as eight inches of rain fell on parts of Union County as of Monday morning the county nevertheless "dodged a bullet" compared to other parts of the Upstate and the rest of South Carolina.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Joshua Palmer said Monday that during a five-day period that began at 7 a.m. Oct. 1 and ended at 7 a.m. that morning, Union County received between 3 inches and 8 inches of rain. Palmer said that the amount of rain that fell depended on the area of the county with the amounts decreasing from south to north. He said the northern area of the county received 3-3 1/2 inches of rain while the southernmost end of the county received 8 inches.
On Friday, the National Weather Service in Greer was projecting the area to receive anywhere from 5 inches to 10 inches of rain. Palmer said that the reason why the rainfall the county received was slightly lower than expected was because the worst of the rainfall — and the problems associated with it — was to the south and east of the Upstate. He said that while the area did receive heavy rainfall and some areas like Chester County experience significant problems with fallen trees and Laurens County significant problems with fallen trees and flooding, much of the Upstate including Union County "dodged a bullet" by being on the "northernmost extent" of the storm system.
The heavy rains and winds were caused by the convergence of a large continental low over the eastern US and Hurricane Joaquin over the Atlantic Ocean. Under normal circumstances the large continental low would have produced heavy rainfall on its own, but while Joaquin remained out over the ocean it nevertheless fed warm moist area into the low, increasing and intensifying the amount of precipitation generated.
The combination of the two systems caused extensive flooding throughout South Carolina, especially in the Coastal and Midlands areas of the state including Charleston and Columbia. In addition to the flooding, the heavy rainfall and winds toppled trees and caused power outages.
A big factor contributing to the flooding, the fallen trees, and the blocked roads was the fact that the rain produced by the storm system fell on ground already saturated by rains earlier in the week. This caused runoff into streams, creeks and rivers which rose and flooded. The large amounts of water also overtaxed and/or caused blockages of storm drains and drainage ditches along roads causing the water to back up and make roadways impassable. The rain and wind also combined to topple trees onto roads, blocking traffic and/or fall on power lines causing outages
City Of Union
The City of Union was one of those areas that dodged the bullet, with officials reporting few instances of power
outages, fallen trees blocking roads, and flooding.
City of Union Utility Director Joe Nichols said that the city had only a few power outage affecting less than 50 people over the weekend.
"We had calls out on Pearch Orchard Road and Beechtree Road and we also had a few calls on Woodlawn Avenue," Nichols said. "They were very sporadic and it was just limbs down on lines and/or service lines to houses. That's about it, in this area it was pretty light."
City of Union Public Services Director Perry Harmon said that public service personnel were called out only one time over the weekend to clear away a fallen tree blocking a road.
Harmon said Monday that a tree fell across a car on Gault Avenue around 7 a.m. Sunday. He said public service personnel responded, spending about two hours clearing away the tree so the street could be reopened to traffic.
City of Union Public Safety Director Sam White said that his department received only a few reports of flooding over the weekend.
"There was a little water on the road on General Lee Lane where it overflowed," White said Monday. "There was also a call on Brookside Drive where two creeks run together and the water wasn't draining enough and came up on the road but didn't wash anything away. There was also a drain that got clogged up on Lakeside Drive and made the water flow on to the road, but the DOT (Department of Transportation) came out and unclogged it."
White said that, unlike other parts of the state, the city "didn't have anything really bad."
Foster Park Lake was recently partially drained so a spillway could be repaired but the water level of the lake was back up and then some thanks to the rainfall over the past several days. Harmon said that while the lake did not flood, it was water level rose approximately two feet due to the rain.
Weather Forecast
There's an old children's song about wishing for rain to go away and come again another day and that wish will be granted over the next several days.
Palmer said that the National Weather Service is "expecting things to be nice and calm" for the next several days with clear skies and plenty of sunshine. He said the highs will be in the upper 70s and the lows in the upper 50s with winds light to calm.
"It's a well-deserved break for the Upstate," Palmer said.
Even though it didn't flood, Foster Park Lake nevertheless rose two feet because of rain that fell on Union County beginning Oct. 1 and continuing through the next five days. Union County received from 3-3 1/2 inches of rain in the northern end of the county and 8 inches in the southernmost part of the county.
The ground was already saturated from rains earlier in the week before the storm system that brought as much as 8 inches of rain to Union County moved in this weekend. The additional rainfall left ground muddy with standing pools of water in some locations such as this end of Foster Park.
The water level in the creek that feeds Foster Park Lake was higher than normal Monday morning after a storm produced heavy rains that fell much of this past weekend. The rain was in addition to rains that fell on the county earlier last week.

They're bullish on testosterone here at the 6th Annual World Congress on the Aging Male. http://louis-j-sheehan.org/
Physicians and researchers from around the world gathered to review the latest findings on what low levels of the male hormone means for men, how replacing it might help and why it hasn't caught on broadly.
"If we had a drug that could restore sexual function in men, make them stronger, build their bones, reduce fat and get rid of the blues, you'd say, 'Oh my God, why doesn't everybody know about it?' " says Abraham Morgentaler, a urologist at Harvard Medical School and director of the Men's Health Boston clinic. http://louis1j1sheehan1esquire.us/
"There is a drug like that -- but the public associates testosterone with cheating and illicit behavior and the fact that 40 years ago, it was thought to give people prostate cancer."
Whether it does or not is still an open question. But many studies have shown that low testosterone is associated with reduced muscle mass, bone density, sexual function and vitality, and increased fatigue, depression, Type II diabetes and obesity -- particularly belly fat. Evidence is accumulating that restoring testosterone to normal can alleviate many of those problems.
"Men with low testosterone are miserable to live with -- they fall asleep after dinner and snap at everyone," says David Greenberg, a general practitioner in Toronto. "You restore it and they say, 'Wow, I feel like myself again.' "
But there's debate over which of the three forms of testosterone to measure, what level constitutes "low" and, most importantly, at what age. http://louis-j-sheehan.com/
Testosterone declines naturally after age 40. So is a 70-year-old man deficient or just aging?
"The moment you add the element of aging, you add the element of ageism. It's giving things for sex to old men," says John E. Morley, director of geriatric medicine at Saint Louis University, who, like other experts quoted here has worked with makers of testosterone products.
"Everybody agrees that testosterone deficiency should be treated in younger men. http://louis-j-sheehan.org/page1.aspx
Why not treat it in older age groups?" says Ronald S. Swerdloff, chief of the endocrinology at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
Women lose estrogen much more abruptly in menopause, and replacing it to alleviate symptoms and maintain bone health has been standard practice for decades, though questions remain about the risk of breast cancer.
There are even more unknowns about the risks and benefits of testosterone replacement. http://louis-j-sheehan.com/page1.aspx
For one thing, many of the symptoms of low testosterone are very common in older men and could be related to other conditions. Some, like obesity, may lead to low testosterone rather than vice versa.
And there is lingering concern that testosterone could fuel prostate cancer -- largely because drugs that reduce testosterone seem to shrink enlarged prostates and lower the risk of developing prostate cancer by 25%, according to the National Cancer Institute's Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial.
On the other hand, an analysis of 18 studies in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute last month concluded that there is no correlation between testosterone levels and prostate-cancer risk. Another study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that men with low testosterone had higher mortality rates in general than those with higher levels, regardless of other risk factors.
Some drug makers are testing oral variations of testosterone that would deliver the benefits without the potential prostate hazards. For now, testosterone is available mainly in injections, topical gels and patches. http://louis-j-sheehan.com/
Nearly three million prescriptions were written in the U.S. in 2007, according to IMS Health, a health-information company.
Everyone here agrees that large-scale clinical trials are needed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of testosterone therapy. One such trial has been proposed to the National Institutes of Health; and the New England Research Institutes is starting a registry of 1,000 patients, half in the U.S. and half in Europe, to follow for two years.
In the meantime, some doctors are wary of treating older men until more is known. http://louis-j-sheehan.com/page1.aspx
"If your patient is an old man who's grumpy and not the stud he used to be, you could give him testosterone for a few months and see what happens," says Elizabeth Barrett-Connor, chief of epidemiology at University of California, San Diego. "But no epidemiological results justify giving it to older men in general."
The Jerusalem Post is an Israeli daily English language broadsheet newspaper, founded on December 1, 1932, by Gershon Agron as The Palestine Post. While the daily readership numbers (tens of thousands) do not approach those of the major Hebrew newspapers, the Jerusalem Post has a much broader reach than these other newspapers in that their readership is composed of Israeli politicians, foreign journalists, tourists, and also distributed worldwide. Whilst it was once regarded as left-wing, the paper underwent a noticeable shift to the right in the late 1980s. Under new ownership and editorial leadership of editor-in-chief David Horovitz since 2004, the paper's political identity has moved again to a more complex centrist position. http://louis-j-sheehan.biz/page1.aspx
Examples of this shift include support for the August 2005 disengagement from the Gaza Strip and the paper's advocacy for privatization of Israeli religious institutions.
The Palestine Post was founded on December 1, 1932 by American journalist-turned-newspaper-editor, Gershon Agron in the British Mandate of Palestine. During its time as The Palestine Post, the publication supported the struggle for a Jewish homeland in Palestine and openly opposed British policy restricting Jewish immigration during the Mandate period.
On the evening of February 1, 1948, a car exploded outside the Jerusalem building housing the Palestine Post. The building also contained other newspaper offices, the British press censor, the Jewish settlement police, and a Hagana post with a cache of weapons. http://louis-j-sheehan.biz
The bomb destroyed the Hagana post, a large part of the Palestine Post offices, and badly damaged several nearby buildings. One typesetter died and about 20 people were injured. The morning edition of the Palestine Post appeared in reduced format. http://louis-j-sheehan.biz/
The bombing was the work of Fawzi el-Kuttub, under the command of Arab leader Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni. Al-Husayni claimed responsibility for the bombing, but Hagana leaders did not believe that the Arab forces were capable of such operations and suspected various other parties, including Etzel, British forces, and "German saboteurs".
The newspaper's name was changed in 1950, two years after the state of Israel was declared and the Mandate of Palestine ended.
Until 1989 the Jerusalem Post supported the forerunners of the Labour Party and had a liberal or left of center political orientation. In 1989 it was purchased by Hollinger Inc. Under the control of Canadian conservative newspaper magnate Conrad Black the paper became supportive of the Likud. http://louis-j-sheehan.us/Blog/blog.aspx
A number of journalists resigned from the Post after Black's takeover and founded the left-wing weekly Jerusalem Report, which eventually was sold to the Post. On November 16, 2004, Hollinger sold the paper to Mirkaei Tikshoret Ltd., a Tel Aviv-based publisher of Israeli newspapers. CanWest Global Communications, Canada's biggest media concern, had announced an agreement to take a 50 percent stake in the Jerusalem Post after Mirkaei bought the property, but the Mirkaei pulled out of the deal. CanWest sued in court, but lost.
Currently the newspaper is viewed as having a moderate conservative slant on news coverage, although left-wing columns are often featured on the editorial pages. http://louis-j-sheehan.biz
It espouses economic positions close to those of neoliberalism: tight fiscal control on public spending, curbing of welfare, cutting taxes, and anti-union monopoly legislation, among others. The paper competes with the liberal Haaretz newspaper, which began publishing an English language edition in the 1990s as an insert to the International Herald Tribune.
As with other Israeli newspapers, the Jerusalem Post is published from Sunday to Friday, with no edition appearing on Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath) and Jewish religious holidays. http://louis-j-sheehan.de/
The current head editor is David Horovitz (formerly editor of the Jerusalem Report) who took over for current Wall Street Journal editorial board member Bret Stephens in 2004.
In print, the Jerusalem Post also publishes other editions geared for the local and foreign markets: a Christian Edition, French, 'International', as well as several kids and youth magazines. There is also a section titled "Iranian Threat". In 2007, it also started publishing a Hebrew-only business daily called The Business Post. The newspaper also maintains an online edition named jpost.com.
I wish I could draw. Instead of writing 1,000 words I would sketch a cartoon of Ehud Olmert and Mahmoud Abbas all dressed up for a wedding with nowhere to go. Not a pretty picture, I admit. But this was the image that sprang to mind as the two very odd friends argued about Jerusalem - not about its status, but about when to discuss it.
They reminded me of a couple so in love with the idea of getting married that they refuse to talk about any of the serious issues - like where to live or how to raise their children - for fear that their different ideas would trip them up on the way to the wedding canopy.
Such a marriage, if it takes place at all, is clearly doomed. Olmert and Abbas also know their chances of a happy union are slim. http://louis-j-sheehan.biz/
They might march off to "Here comes the Bride," arguably Richard Wagner's best-known piece, but Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, with its convoluted plot full of fateful decisions and deceit, might be more suitable. In fact, Olmert and Abbas might not so much march off into the sunset ceremony as waddle, in the view of some. Speaking at last week's Jerusalem Conference, Opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu warned: "The prime minister said that we are not talking about Jerusalem, and that we are leaving it until last. But I say, if it looks like a duck, and it walks like a duck, then they plan to divide Jerusalem." Perhaps I should alter my mental cartoon to include the image of lame ducks. http://louis2j2sheehan.us/Blog/Blogger.aspx
http://louis2j2sheehan.us/page1.aspx Or sitting ducks. At least I should add some ruffled feathers.
Jerusalem is definitely what is now being called a "core issue." Obviously it must be resolved if a peace agreement is to be born of a union between Olmert and Abbas or any other unlikely couple. Like other core issues, such as the "right of return for refugees" and the eventual borders, it lies at the heart of the matter. Even the question of who has the right to decide Jerusalem's fate - the politicians, the voting public, or the Diaspora - has not been solved.
The press has obsessed over whether the question of Jerusalem is currently "on the table," "under the table," or tabled for a different round of discussions some time in the future when the smaller issues are out of the way.
Our bride, it seems, has a dress, a venue, a caterer and music in mind. She just doesn't have a date.
A groom under the huppa pledges: "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its cunning. If I do not raise thee over my own joy, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth." He then stamps on a glass in an act usually attributed to commemorating the destruction of the Temple.
Olmert might do well to put his foot down now and remember not just the destruction of the ancient sanctuary but also what his strange communion will mean for the future. Love might be blind but it is wise to go into marriage with your eyes wide open. Marriage requires compromise and sacrifice, it is true. In a happy marriage, however, they have to be made by both sides and be worth it.
The international community, including the US and the European states, are eager to attend this wedding. You can almost imagine George W. Bush and Tony Blair practicing their best-man speeches in the mirror. The presents will undoubtedly be lavish. Like wedding guests everywhere, the celebrants here, too, would be happy to eat, drink, dance and then go home to discuss the chances of the bride and groom living happily ever after.
Unfortunately, shlom bayit, domestic peace, is not likely to come out of these nuptials if the bride and groom can't even admit there is a problem to begin with. The guests want Israel and the PA to divide Jerusalem. http://louis-j-sheehan.us/Blog/blog.aspx
But Jerusalem is far more than a city. It cannot be cut up for convenience as if it were simply some triple-tiered wedding cake with a plastic bride and groom perched on top.

You don't have a problem with working hard. You know that that's what it takes to run a business. But what needs to be done? Hard work without a plan can leave you just turning in circles.
Now what to do? Give up and pack it in?
I've been there too. I don't think you should let go of your dream so easily. You can turn this around! You have your business plan already but what about marketing? If you think that you can't fit it into your budget then you've got it all backwards.
Marketing is something that you can't afford not to do. But it doesn't have to painful or even very expensive. And good marketing is almost totally transparent to your customers.
That means as your customers are visiting your website, reading your Facebook posts, checkout out your Tweets, and browsing your Pinterest boards, they don't get the idea that you're selling to them.
This all sound good so far?
This is why I'm building the Small Business Online Kickstart. It's an "online" kickstart because that is where almost all the action is. And it's also a source of pain for a lot of small business owners. It's understandable. There is a lot to learn and the clock is ticking. Think of the Small Business Online Kickstart as an aspirin for your digital marketing headache.
Now the Online Kickstart isn't finished yet. Sign up for updates about the Kickstart's progress and I'll let you know how it's coming along.

Despite what the media were saying this morning about Nick Clegg doing badly in last night's debate with Nigel Farage on the issue of the EU, I actually think he's been rather clever.
In a broader context, such a debate was never going to change the hardliners. Liberals and lefties are likely to want to stay in the EU. Tories don't. But I didn't need to tell you that.
But who else don't want to be in the EU? UKIP. So, the Tories and UKIP are scrambling for votes from the same pool of voters with their ideology. None of these people are every going to vote LibDem. Such a debate was never going to change a UKIP or Tory voter into a LibDem voter.
So, although it might be nice for Clegg to convince some people sat on the fence, I think doing badly in a debate with UKIP is actually a good strategy. As Clegg is inevitably associated with Cameron, by doing badly he undermines Cameron, his party and his government, and persuades Tory voters that UKIP might be a better use of their vote.
In doing badly, Clegg doesn't really loose out. By doing badly he actually makes UKIP look good and gives a kick in the guts to the Tories. The anti-EU brigade are never going to vote LimDem. They are going to choose between UKIP and the Tories. Rolling out the Deputy PM who is so associated with Cameron *cough* lapdog *cough* was a really bad strategy for the Tories but quite a clever one for the LibDems
I also nearly choked on my Coco Pops this morning when Cameron said Farage and Clegg have extreme views on Europe and they're both wrong. I think you were missing a "In my opinion" before that, senor.
And, tangent, sports stars are big on saying " you know" every third word (well, if I knew, why are you telling me?), but have you seen Cameron? Look, look, look, to be honest, look, look, look. No matter how may times you say it, I'm never going to see your point of view. On Anything.
