When are we going to stop arming our enemies?
Unless we wean ourselves from our gas dependency, the West is doomed to feeding the countries that despise us and want to see democracy's champion, America, destroyed. At present, the West has to pretend that the Saudis are not using our billions to finance crazy Wahhabi schools all over the world. It is these schools that preach the Islamofascism that fuels the terrorist attacks. Saudi Arabia only came on board the anti-jihad train when they were attacked internally. Before that, the Saudis wouldn't even allow the FBI to investigate the Khobar Towers massacre of U.S. Marines. The same goes for the Gulf States--where a strong minority of the Kuwaitis hate America. They have scary short-term memories obviously for who saved them from Saddam. As for the Euro-socialists, do they really believe that democracy can survive with a prostate America?
Having to depend on these ideological enemies in the Middle East is one thing; but now we have to put up with Hugo Chavez and his demogogic buddies in South America too. Watching Chavez foaming at the mouth in his U.N. anti-America/Great Britain speech was instructive. Morales of Bolivia--that leader with six years of formal schooling--is going to nationalize his natural gas fields, as well as legalize coca production. The latter only for home consumption he promises. There has been a steady drift from democratic governments to totalitarianism. The old military dictators have given way to some far more frightening, the peasant populist hordes. As they drive their countries into penury, they will become more desperate. The wealth-producing people will leave--with their loot--and the despots' anti-West rhetoric will reach hysterical levels.
Compounding our problems is the thirst for oil that the Communist Chinese have to keep their economy afloat. For them, besides the oil pool Venezuela represents, Chavez has the right ideological bent. Russia is another, who supports the "visionary" leader of Iran, purely for the oil, of course. This support of the Iranian Muslim fanaticism does not extend to their Islamic Chechen brothers. Grozny cum-Dresden has become the symbol of that divide.
So long as I wouldn't have to traverse the highways in my smart car shadowed by behemoth pick-ups and SUVs, I would support minimalizing our vehicles. The Americans can abandon their trillion dollar lost war in Iraq and pump it into their Gulf of Mexico finds and the Alberta tar sands. Along with this, the West can tax the gas dragons off the road. The majority of these never get closer to the wild then the local mall parking lot anyway. Only then may we say "adieu" to our treacherous allies.

Freedom of speech is coming back in vogue
Thanks to the Conservatives we may actually see a bill to protect freedom of speech. It is needed to protect people who either do not want to deal with gays or who criticize their lifestyles. The Liberals and NDP have set up a cultural petting zoo, where gays, Muslims, and aboriginals are exempted from any statement that might hurt their delicate feelings. Naturally, even to suggest that these groups have an agenda is anathema to the human rights clique. This proposed legislation would be aimed specificallly at the religious prohibitions against homosexuality that most faiths hold. Islam favours direct action against gays, namely killing or imprisoning them. Most Christian faiths content themselves with the belief these people will answer to God.
Just how selective the human rights crowd can be was seen in London a few years ago. Police stood guard outside a soccer stadium, while inside an imam was exhorting 6,000 Muslims to murder homosexuals. The only person arrested was a white Englishman, who was picketting with an anti-Muslim placard. So much for Britain's vaunted "hate speech " laws. The only thing missing from our current social engineering edicts is a Royal Commission on how many socialists can dance on the head of a pin.
Already, our freedom of speech is being threatened by Muslim fundamentalists. Plays are cancelled in Holland, operas in Germany, cartoons deleted from newspapers in Canada, because the Islamic populous might be offended. A few death threats against the producers helped convince them. Of course, back in their home countries there is no freedom of speech. To speak out against a government-approved play could lead to their deaths. Even the Pope has made what was taken as an apology for quoting a 14th century bishop about the barbarous massacre that befell Constantinople when the Muslim invaders conguered it. Now, historical fact is verboten if it offends ... Muslims.
We cannot afford to lose our precious right to speak our truths. That is happening more and more in our politically correct-speak universities. Either hew to the leftist prof's nostrums, or watch your grades slip. The left has taken to classifying any social statement they consider inflammatory as "bozo eruptions". That effectively, (although it shouldn't) silences most public figures. Every Conservative politician knows better than to proclaim his Christian convictions. Yet, the NDP can state the most appalling nonsense about rampant homophobia and "institutionized racism" without a blip of criticism. [It might be apropos here to mention Ann Coulter's book on liberalism as a religion. Check further on NewsMax. FHTR]
While it is a given that this freedom of speech legislation will meet ferocious opposition from the left of the political spectrum, it is worth proposing. Let Trudeau's Charter of Rights gang try to defend why this legislation should be judged illegal. As for the Liberals' core belief that The Charter cannot be changed, perhaps they can be reminded of Paul Martin's publicly stating that he would rip the notwithstanding clause out of the The Charter, so no one could invoke it. I am looking forward to the upcoming debate. It will be a battle that might enlighten Canadians as to the plight of free speech in this country.

"Lost in the Struggle"--A critique of the CBC program
Immediately, I was infuriated by these portrayals of three young thugs from the Jane-Finch projects in Toronto. It opened with a 20 year old Vietnamese-Canadian, who bragged about his long juvenile criminal record, topped up by one as an adult offender. Assault with a weapon figured prominently. Why, I asked myself is this thug out on the street? That pistol he keeps waving, is that registered? Has the Toronto justice system collapsed completely? Another, a teenager of Bangladeshi background, is actively involved with passing counterfeit money. Dealing drugs and/or robbing drug dealers appeared to be the job of choice for two of them. Yet another kid, this one black, is on probation; yet, in the documentary is shown smoking dope and musing about how he might have to do something legitimate. This one is on strict home arrest while on probation. However, everytime the parole office shows up at his home, he is gone. He and his single mom grouse about how the cops are hassling him. When he finally turns himself in, he is released to his supposedly responsible mother. [I must say, Bud, this infuriated me too. The documentary filmmakers are filming this; I would be turning these young criminals in and testifying against them. FHTR]
What comes across forcefully is how incredibly brazen these gangsters are about their crimes. They don't seem to mind being recorded doing their various nafarious deeds. Obviously, they have no fear of judicial punishment. As far as their bogus claims to want to go straight, one is later seen involved in dealing marijuana, the Bangla-Canadian kid is still passing off fake money and admitting that the next step up is credit card fraud. The black boy is enraged because he can't get a job with his record and lack of education. Maybe the fact that he can't conclude a sentence without the F-world in it might be a drawback ... or, when unduly agitated, stringing F nouns, creatively backed up with F adjectives to a resounding F-strenthening adverb to his concluding F verb. Yet, when one employer takes a chance on him, he quits within two weeks. However, he has an expectant "baby momma" to support. One doesn't have to guess what his next job will be, or where, even with our shamefully lax court system, he will eventually end up. Personally, I'm putting my money on jail or six feet under.

The never-ending CBC hatchet job & Rabinovitch's missing report
Despite their dismal audience numbers, the CBC continues to let itself become an anti-Conservative vehicle. Recently it was revealed in The Globe and Mail that Mr. Rabinovitch, the CBC president, has not released a special report on whether CBC is biased in their coverage. The Heritage Ministry claims that he never sent it to them. Rabinovitch maintains he did. The case of the missing report is informative. The president is fully aware of how left-wing the corporation has become. If anything, the CBC has become naked in its attacks on all things conservative. Tonight's Thursday National news was a classic example. The first three top news items were sliced and diced to show the opposition to the the government budget cuts. Boo hoo, the Status of Women is unhappy about the cuts to their activist agendas. How can you bash the patriarchy if government--that is, taxpayers--won't pay for it? Kyoto, its the gold standard for the Opposition, but they couldn't stop the Liberals from allowing Canada to exceed its pollution promise by 34%. Those who live in toxic houses shouldn't throw carbon dioxide. However, that doesn't stop them from trying to pin Rona Ambrose as the architect of climate destruction. This is the type of bias that will alienate the general public. If the Friends of the CBC want this tripe let them pay for it. I check it out sporadically to see what the enemy is saying. But as one media commentaor said. "What, CBC was on strike? I'm so sorry I didn't notice. The endless re-runs of old stuff seemed par for the course."
Rabinovitch must have a second copy of the bias report, so why is he not providing it to the Minister Bev Oda and the Heritage Ministry, hence to us? After all, we do pay for this socialist dreck.
While the CBC doesn't admit its personal prejucices, it has come to this critical website numerous times. I hope they come to read this post.

Bud, Mr. Rabinovitch must be ... what's that Parliamentary word for it? ... dissembling? ... misspeaking oneself? ... If the word dissembling is good enough for the extremists claiming to follow Mohammed, it's good enough for the head of the D***** CBC.......That's Dismal CBC for those of you whose minds descended to the gutter ... or thought mine had.

|Cancun 2015
The public ground airport transfer service is typically a shared van service. So you will be sharing the van with many other visitors, and waiting for your turn to arrive at your hotel and resort. If you are lucky, you may have the whole van to yourself. You are looking at about 11-13 US dollars per person one way, and a little bit cheaper for round trip.
My friend and I were staying at the Royal Sands Resort All Inclusive and we used Thomas More Travel for airport transfers as they are recommended by the Royal Resorts. The process was so smooth and painless. We made reservation with them through their online website and we were given an emailed voucher to show to the driver upon arrival in Cancun and before boarding the van. The fare then was billed to the room, easy and convenient! So if you are staying at one of the Royal resorts, I recommend that service. The price as of this writing is $12.80 US per person one way or $25.00 US per person round trip.
Try reach out to the hotel and resort that you will be staying at and inquire about any airport transfers that are offered. If they either don't have one or it's too expensive, search online for airpot transfer in Cancun. There are so many of them such as Best Day, Super Shuttle, USA Travel, Cancun Shuttle, Happy Shuttle, and more.

To know Duane is to love Duane. It really is that simple. He's one of those WAP guys who just can't help being good people. He produces some of the funniest mini comics this side of the Atlantic. And his shirts are legendary even if they rarely come in "big boy" sizes! ;)
This drawing is a direct rip off of one of his shirts that I'm waiting to get in a big boy size at hopefully the next Heroes Con. It's a small snapshot of his work, yet speaks volumes of his sense of humor.
Hard to track down on the interwebs, Duane can be found at local cons throughout the Carolinas. Do yourself a favor and stop by his table at the next show. Buy a few minis, get a shirt or two and talk comics with one of the good guys!

Prince William and Kate Middleton welcomed their third child - Prince Louis - on Monday, joining big brother Prince George and big sister Princess Charlotte into the royal family fold.
"Seven years ago today - thank you for all the lovely messages on The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding anniversary", Kensington Palace wrote in their Instagram caption.
William and Kate's third child was born Monday, a brother to 4-year-old Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who is nearly 3. A year and a half after the wedding, which was televised around the world, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge announced that they were expecting their first child, Prince George. Four days later, the royal couple shared their newest bundle of joy's name: Louis Arthur Charles.
In September 2014, a short year after Prince George was born, Kensington Palace confirms baby number two is on the way!
This is in stark contrast to William's younger brother, Prince Harry, who has let the world know just how much he adores his future bride Meghan Markle with many loving gestures. Louis is now the 71'st most popular name for a baby boy in England and Wales.
Louis Arthur Charles, was the name given to the baby who is less than a week old and is already an global superstar.More news: 'I don't know how they sleep' - Vicky blasts cancer docs
"It seemed only fitting that we name the little one after HRH Prince Louis - after all, it's not every day you're born at the same time as a royal".
While the choice of Louis stunned bookmakers, who were predicting Arthur or Albert, Louis is rooted in tradition for the British royal family (French as it sounds).
The same logic applies to Kate, who married into the royal family, and to avoid confusion was given the title Her Royal Highness Kate, The Duchess Of Cambridge, Countess Of Strathearn and Lady Carrickfergus.
Express.co.uk spoke to a Kensington Palace spokeswoman but the details of what happens behind the closed doors of the royal residence remain a mystery.
The baby is fifth in line to the throne and the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh's sixth great-grandchild.
Of course, no one can look past the fact that the darling royal looks nearly exactly like her mom did when she was little. Needles to say, Princess Charlotte has more than a few women in her family that she can look up to.

Court of Appeals of Tennessee, Nashville
January 19, 2017
FREDONIA MOUNTAIN NATURE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS, INC.v.DAVID ANDERSON, ET AL.
Assigned on Briefs December 2, 2016
from the Chancery Court for Sequatchie County No. 2351
Jeffrey F. Stewart, Chancellor
This is
an appeal from the denial of Appellant's Tennessee Rule
of Civil Procedure 60.02 motion for relief from judgment. On
August 17, 2015, the trial court entered an order allowing
Appellants' counsel to withdraw. The order also provided
Appellants thirty days to retain new counsel. Approximately
one week after the order was entered, the case came up on a
regularly scheduled docket call and was set for trial in
November 2015. Although notice of the trial setting was sent
to Appellants, they allege they never received it. The trial
was held in the absence of Appellants, and a judgment was
entered against them. Two months after the judgment was
entered, Appellants filed a motion for relief from judgment
pursuant to Rule 60 of the Tennessee Rules of Civil
Procedure. The trial court denied Appellants' motion
finding that there was no inadvertence, surprise or mistake
that would justify the relief sought. Discerning no error, we
R. App. P. 3 Appeal as of Right; Judgment of the Chancery
Court is Affirmed and Remanded.
Christopher T. Varner, Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the
appellants, Arthur Wiard, and Helen Wiard.
Jennifer A. Mitchell, Dunlap, Tennessee, for the appellee,
Fredonia Mountain Nature Homeowners Association, Inc.
B. Goldin, J., delivered the opinion of the court, in which
D. Michael Swiney, C.J., and W. Neal McBrayer, J., joined.
On June
26, 2012, the Fredonia Mountain Nature Homeowners
Association, Inc., ("FMNHA" or
"Appellee") filed a petition to enforce liens in
Sequatchie County Chancery Court against various individuals
who were owners of real property in Sequatchie County,
Tennessee. The liens the petition sought to enforce resulted
from unpaid homeowners' association dues. Arthur Wiard
and his wife Helen Wiard (together as "Appellants")
denied that there was any valid underlying debt owed by them
on which a lien could be properly asserted.
almost three years of litigation, the Wiards' attorney,
Christopher Varner, filed a motion to withdraw as counsel at
the request of the Wiards. The motion to withdraw was granted
by order entered on August 17, 2015. In the order granting
the motion to withdraw, the Wiards were granted thirty days
to retain new counsel. On August 25, 2015, during a regularly
scheduled docket call, the trial court set the Wiards'
case to be heard on November 10, 2015. A notice of hearing of
the November trial setting was filed and a copy mailed to the
Wiards on August 28, 2015. The Wiards allege they never
received the notice of the trial setting. The trial was held,
as scheduled, on November 10, 2015. The Wiard's did not
appear at the trial, and a judgment in the amount of $9,
766.88 plus court costs was subsequently entered against them
on December 7, 2015.
February 16, 2016, Mr. Varner recommenced his representation
of the Wiards and on their behalf, filed a motion for relief
from judgment pursuant to Rule 60.02 of the Tennessee Rules
of Civil Procedure. The Wiards' motion argued that the
thirty day window provided in the order on motion to withdraw
"presumably was to have been a period of
inactivity" and that the case was "inadvertently
set for trial on November 10, 2015, despite the existence of
the thirty day window of inactivity." The
Appellants' motion further alleges that they did not
learn of the trial and the judgment until after November 10,
2015. The Rule 60.02 motion was heard on March 29, 2016 and
denied by the trial court by order entered April 18, 2016.
The trial court specifically held that "there was no
inadvertence, surprise or mistake that would justify the
relief sought." The Wiards appeal.

We realize that every event is different. Keep in mind, regardless of the type of entertainment system you reserve, the service you receive will be the same. We pride ourselves on providing "Prompt, Professional, & Perfect" entertainment. All of our DJ's are fully trained and their primary goal is to provide you with a once in a lifetime, unforgettable event. While service always remains the same, there are many factors that influence the type of entertainment system that is needed to properly entertain an event. Below are some of the primary factors (click for reasons why):
Type of Event
For example, high school and middle school events are much more likely to reserve a large sound and lighting display as the DJ is the focus of the entire event. On the other hand, weddings and many private parties are celebrating a particular occasion, therefore, the DJ should not be the focus of the attention, but rather the entertainment for the celebration. In this case, a smaller, more contained sound and light show is generally preferred so as not to draw attention away from the occasion.
Many venues have certain requirements that may limit, or encourage certain types of equipment. For examples, smaller venues do not have the available space for a large light show. Larger venues may encourage an more powerful sound system to ensure the right volume level for the size of the room. Also, some venues have certain restrictions that may prevent the use of smoke, haze, fog and bubble machines. Be sure to check with your venue before reserving such equipment.
This one is rather easy. Smaller crowds typically do not require as large of a sound and lighting display as larger crowds. However, we do understand that everyone has their own preferences, so please, select as large of a system as you would like.

Every weekend, I make out the upcoming week's menu. I love, love, love cooking and baking so planning this way makes it easy to always try out new recipes. It also saves our family SO MUCH money bc we can eat at home all week for about $65 each week. About $25 of that weekly budget goes to fresh fruit and vegetables. When the time comes and we have a house that allows for us to garden, we hope to grow a lot of stuff and live off of its bounty. Until then, I shop mostly at SuperTarget. They always have a good produce area and lots of great sales. I like Walmart too, but I'm usually disappointed in their produce selection. I'm just a big fan of Target.
I make out the menu, fill out my Grocery Store spreadsheet that I made which matches my menu (nerd alert!), and we're all set for the week! We eat supper at 6:00 everyday. My goal is to always have that happen. Extracurricular activities are not going to be a priority in this house. Family meals will be.
As you can see, though, there are times that I grab lunch out somewhere. This week we went to Sonic on our way home from grocery shopping. I make one dessert each week and rarely ever buy snacks. We were in Kansas City over the weekend, so it sort of threw off our usual routine of Monday morning grocery shopping.
And, since I love to craft, I made a little clipboard that holds the menus. I just Mod Podged some cute paper to a little clipboard after I scalloped the edges, and then Gorilla glued some magnets on the back. Easy! And, that's just how I roll...

Diversity fatigue is one of the terms used to describe Corporate America's failure to hire and promote minorities in recent years. It's a phenomenon that The New York Times explored within the legal field last week and one that some warn could lead to a steep fall back to the nation's pre-affirmative action days, if corporate boards and hiring managers don't take heed.
While the Times points to the Great Recession as a turning point in businesses' neglect of diversity and inclusion programs, Nancy DiTomaso, Vice Dean for Faculty and Research at Rutgers Business School, says the nepotist nature of those programs may actually be to blame.
In a study conducted by the University of Washington and other universities earlier this year, psychologists also found that diversity training programs may do more harm than good, leading people to believe that work environments are fair even when given evidence of hiring, promotion or salary inequities.
"Our fear is that companies may prematurely stop thinking about diversity among their workers because they've credentialed themselves with these programs," said the study's lead author, Cheryl Kaiser. "Our findings suggest that diversity programs can be window dressing -- even those that do very little to increase diversity may still be perceived as effective," she said.

Disclaimer :
- Apratz was not in her sane state of mind due to overloaded works (and overdosage stupidity) when she produced these. Hence, there's no law against abnormal people, agree?
- Apratz doesn't own these characters. She just made them in her working paper in nearly mad state.
- All images are courtesy of Apratz!
If perverted fanboy like him and him can fantasize about Meido's Café or Tsundere Cafe, Apratz can also build her castles in the air by creating her own Tsundere Host Club (applause, Ladies and Gentlemen?). Before moving out further, kindly refer to wiccapedia about the definition of Tsundere.
In a nutshell, Tsundere is referring to cold, harsh, blasphemous-mouthed, and strict girls that can turn out being caring, tender, loving when she's alone. In Apratz' Tsundere Host Club, we have boys behaving like Tsundere girls, just that they are guys!
Similar to Ouran High Host Club which artistically classifying sweet, tender, loving, caring guys into some archetypes, Apratz' Tsundere Host Club does the same flawless formula! So, without further ado, here is the Tsundere boys' list,
#1 Bloody Brotherly Love : Itachi and Sasuke
Itachi and Sasuke, what's more can you expect? They love each other, from the bottomest of their heart, just that their 'way of Tsundere' makes them much more violent and rough in expressing their love (ex : killing all the remaining clan to provoke 'foolish little brother', run into a sick pedophile for obtaining power to get closer to Onii-sama, et cetera, et cetera). Nevertheless, please believe that love is still in the air! (Kindly refer to available pic)
#2 Stoic Tsundere boy : Tieria Erde
Tieria Erde, a mysterious beauty and ultimate eyecandy from Gundam 00. A stoic looking guy who can only say 'mission accomplished' whenever is necessary and confront the rest of team in case anything out of plan has happened. He attracted both female and male audience of Gundam 00 (two of them are those perverted parties that we mentioned at the beginning).
#3 Sweet Tsundere boy : Wolfram von Bielefelt
Looking for a Tsundere boy with pink frilly sleeping dress that haunted your bed every night? Then Wolfram von Bielefelt from Kyou Kara Maou is for you! This sassy brat, foul mouthed, charming spoilt little Prince can be very sweet at times, and you can propose him into marriage just by slapping him on face!
#4 Loli-Shota Tsundere boy (or kid?) : Aoyagi Ritsuka
His notorious name is Loveless, and his interest is only older guys (feel sorry for girls). He can be a precocious brat that shouts at you at the first meeting! He can appear as a strong and problematic lad that melts older women's heart (except his Mom). Yet afterwards, he will suddenly shed tears, being fragile, and in the end asked you to take a picture with him. He is very suitable with Thou with Onee-sama archetype *pointing oneself*.
Do you have any other Tsundere boy in mind? Please kindly tell Apratz, as she will be happy to broaden this insane business, in order to generate profit as much as possible! She'll need huge amount of money to support her life contingency plan. Therefore please support Apratz, please come to her Tsundere Host Club!
After all these, Apratz realized that she might see psychiatry to test her sanity.

My sister is still studying in high school (note : It is a boarding school quite remote from civilization, though once was distinguished as the best multiracial and national school in the entire Indonesia –I didn't say that school is a hasbeen, though I want to-). She's always asking for iPod Nano, latest Digicam, most recent cell phone, as well as up-to-date laptop when I am home, and keeps saying that most of her friends already have it thus bringing it easily to school.
I was like… WTH.. WTF… **&*^&%^%^E$%#$#$!!!!!
Did teenager nowadays have even a little bit sense of crisis? Did they really need a super advance laptop while they probably only require Ms. Office or Adobe Photoshop as their most necessity? I just don't get the point. When I was on high school, I always went to the nearest internet café in order to do a project or homework, coz I didn't see any urgent need to own a Notebook, or digicam while I was still on High School, especially on a boarding school that I mentioned above in particular.
I realize that it must be hard being parents in today's era, whereby cost of having the kids is skyrocketing (hence some people prefer to be a single or married without kids). I mean, what is the normal wage for a medium income family in

QUETTA: Ex- Spokesman of the Provincial Government and Senior member of National Party Jan Buledai's vehicle came under fire in Minaz area of Buleida injuring three persons, including his son, on Wednesday.
Jan Muhammad Buledai accompanied with his son and nephew was coming to Turbat from his hometown when armed men opened firing on his vehicle.
Jan's son Keeha, his nephew Asif and Levies guard Zahid sustained bullet injuries while Jan escaped unhurt in the assassination attempt.
"The attackers were riding on a motorbike and sprayed bullets on Jan Buledai's vehicle near Minaz some 10km from Buleida, on retaliation by Levies guard they fled from the scene." DC Kech added.
Rescue workers and Law Enforcement Agencies rushed to the scene and shifted the injured to Hospital for medical treatment.
What sources said, Jan Buledai's son received serious bullet wounds and shifted to Turbat for better medical treatment.
So far, no group claimed responsibility of the attack but in restive Mekran Division National Party's workers and senior politicians remained under attack by Baloch militant groups.

The Thotlakonda and Bavikonda areas near the Beach are the prominent locations for Buddhism and Buddhist studies in Visakhapatnam. The Thotlakonda Buddhist Complex is situated 15 - 16 kms from the Visakhapatnam City on the Vizag-Bheemili Beach Road. A hillock overlooking the sea at an elevation of 128 mts gives a pleasing look to the visitors.
The Hinayana Buddhist Complex dates back to the ages of 300 - 200 BC. Most of these shrines saw the light during the excavations by the Andhra Pradesh State Archeological Department done in 1982 - 92. This particular complex saw the light when Indian Navy has conducted an areal survey in the region in order to setup its Naval Base.
From the paleographic studies, it is believed that the hills might have been known as "Syenagiri". "Syena" in Sanskrit means "Eagle" and thus the name - "The Hill of Eagles". The Thotlakonda Complex has a number of Stupas, Chaityas, Viharas, a congregation hall and a refectrory belonging to the Himalayanas School.
Today, the region looks more developed - thanks to the road facilities by the Government. The tar road all through the way gives a pleasent drive from the city. Greenary is every where in the region giving a good peace of mind for tourists. These 'Vanams' are expected to be extended to a region of 400 acres of land. A Buddhist Archeological Museum is also planned in the region. VUDA is also considering setting up a ropeway between Bavikonda and Thotlakonda - the two popular Buddhist shrines in the region.
Next comes Bojjannakonda - located in Sankaram - 8 kms from Anakapalli. Also on the list is "Salivahanam" near Srikakulam. Among those that were recovered from the excavations includes some coins dating back to Satavaha era, 3 silver coins dating back to Roman era, and other scriptures written in Bramha Lipi.
The Shankaram near Anakapalli has an array of Buddhist constructions made of stone. These constructions are believed to be made during Mahayana period. It is believed that the viharas found at this site were for about 1000 years spanning the Theracada, Mahayana and Vajrayana phases of Buddhism. Other places in Visakhapatnam which marks Buddhist shrines were Pavuralakonda near Bheemunipatnam, Gopalapatnam and Lingarajupalem.
The Government of Andhra Pradesh has started taking special interest in development of these Buddhist shrines in Visakhapatnam. And a step towards this is the development of Basic infrastructure in these areas. The first step towards this is the building of the extension of Anakapalli Bypass Road to Eleru canal. The State Government has decided to organise Lumbini Utsav every year to recap the rich heritage.

Thursday ThinkTank: Grading the Grades
(Editor's Note: I'm getting to this a few days later than initially desired, but at least, now, it's done.) On Monday, The Kansas City Star's Jason Whitlock, handed out grades for the 2009 Chiefs, a tradition in which he just logged his 10th year. Having read them for 10 years, I decided that I would like to assess his assessment, and what better way to do that, than in the style of the once/still beloved site known as Fire Joe Morgan. The numbers are, of course, percentages like the ones you get in school, assuming you've at some point or another, attended. Let's get to it.
Give this man a new contract
98 Jamaal Charles, RB: No-questions-asked MVP of the team. That's an amazing accomplishment for a guy who wasn't a significant part of the team's offensive game plan until week nine. Some people worry about his durability. Does he have the necessary frame to be an every-down back? He has the same frame and running style as Tennessee's Chris Johnson. Charles can handle 20 carries a game. A two-back setup is the way to go in the NFL.
Two words for you, bro: Larry. Johnson. As in: overpaid, overused. As in: Doesn't. Care. Now, I don't want to sit here and say Mike Cox could blast into those same holes, but Mike Cox is certainly willing and able to attempt penetration whenever and wherever necessary? Ooo. Comparing Charles to Chris Johnson. There's a first. A two-back setup? That's some divine thinking there.
92 Chan Gailey, offensive coordinator: Smartest man at Arrowhead Stadium. Collected a fat paycheck for sitting on his can while Todd Haley made a fool of himself trying to serve as head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Gailey's image is untarnished after being fired by Haley before the start of the season.
Hmmm. Chan Gailey. Why is that name not ringing a bell? Oh, yeah. I remember. 'Cause he technically wasn't a part of the 2009 Chiefs. Pre-season don't count, bro. Lining up in the pistol and running the wildcat with Mark Bradley (cut) throwing passes to Tyler Thigpen (traded) was fun that one Sunday, but let's see: How many games did Gailey's offense win us? Oh. Right. Two. Haley's print on this team laid its foundation for the future this year. Gailey wasn't part of that. Haley knew it, made the move, and took his lumps. Brilliant move. How you gonna give a guy a new contract for 2010 if he isn't in the mix in 2009?
Exceeded my expectations.
89 Brandon Flowers, CB: Tied for 12th in the league with five interceptions. More impressive, he was fourth in the NFL with 28 passes defensed. The kid reminds me of James Hasty in that Flowers is agile and quick enough to play the pass and physical enough to be a force against the run. Put Flowers on a better team, and he's a Pro Bowler.
Flowers is good. May one day reach a Pro Bowl, even as a Chief, and he'll likely have a longer shelf life than James Hasty. Also, "defensed" makes you sound kind of Canadian.
88 Chris Chambers, WR: Had an immediate impact after getting signed off the waiver wire at midseason. Chambers gave the Chiefs a long-ball threat. He scored two touchdowns in his first game as a Chief. The only reason he didn't receive an A is because he dropped a crucial pass in the Cleveland game. A nine-year vet, Chambers can be Kansas City's No. 2 receiver for the next two years.
One dropped pass drops him to a 'B'? Wow. My thinking is that a) that drop was only 11% of the dropped passes in that game, two of which were Dwayne Bowe's, one of which was actually in the end zone. Play a little run defense and tackle Joshua Cribbs, the Chiefs win that game, no one remembers Chambers' drop, one of very few on the season for him. I surmise that Bowe will ever surpass Chambers as a consistently better passing option for this team.
87 Tamba Hali, LB: Made a smooth transition from defensive end to outside linebacker. Hali had his best season as a pro. He recorded 8 1/2 sacks, forced four fumbles and made 62 tackles. He also drew at least a half-dozen holding penalties in passing situations. Those penalties are sometimes as devastating as a sack. Hali is exactly the player the Chiefs envisioned when they drafted him four years ago. He's the perfect complement to an elite pass rusher (Jared Allen).
I don't know that I worry about defensive holding when you're one of the only talents on a defensive squad. Hali, making that transition, was half-a-sack shy of the team totals for 2008, which, to me, warrants an 'A.' Also, get over the Jared Allen trade. It gave us three awesome picks and rid us of an element that didn't want to be here.
85 Ryan Succop, K: He's a bit overhyped because he was the last player selected in the 2009 draft. But Succop had a solid rookie year. He pretty much made every kick he was supposed to make, nailing 23 of 24 kicks from inside 50 yards. He was two of five from 50 and beyond.
Given the complete debacle that was the Justin Medlock/Nick Novak/Connor Barth experiement, this is as good an upgrade as you get. Also, I think Dick Vermeil was coaching the Eagles the last time the Chiefs had a kicker that could kickoff through the end zone. I give the kid an 'A.'
85 Derrick Johnson, LB: Yep, I'm giving DJ a high grade. He deserves it for not assaulting Haley. DJ rode the bench behind kickoff-coverage wedge busters. In the few snaps he was allowed, DJ had a knack for getting involved in big plays. He knocked Ben Roethlisberger out of the Pittsburgh game with an accidental knee to the head. DJ forced a Torry Holt fumble with hustle in the Jacksonville game. DJ kept the Chiefs in the Baltimore game with a 70-yard interception return. And, of course, DJ destroyed the Broncos with two pick-six returns. DJ was involved in more memorable Chiefs defensive plays than any other defender, and he played only 15 to 20 snaps a game.
I'm going to come off as way too positive I'm realizing, but given that Johnson uttered nary a peep during a very frustrating season for him, I can do no less than but to give him a 90. You just don't see that type of whine-free attitude often enough anymore.
85 Brian Waters, G: Here's another player who gets extra-credit points for not slapping the (spit) out of Haley. I know, some of you think I favor Waters because he "feeds" me information. It's not true. Waters played the good soldier all season and didn't talk with the media all year, including me. I favor Waters because he keeps it 100 24/7. Despite the lack of professionalism from the head coach, Waters remained a true professional throughout the season. He was a leader. He played at a higher level than people give him credit for.
Nonsense. Haley owed Waters nothing. And, though I'm sure you were praying for the 22-players comment to blow up in Haley's face, he did in fact double Herm's win total from last year, and matched it from the previous. Waters played his typically solid game, but was also called for more penalties than I can remember. You're bitching about a linebacker getting called for holding -- which I raise a 'brow at -- but you don't mention an offensive lineman's flags? Those are the ones that are "as devastating as a sack."
85 Bernard Pollard, S: You want to talk about a clown suit? The one Pollard stitched for Haley will never be forgotten. Kansas City's best safety was cut before the season and resurfaced in Houston as the savior of the Texans' defense. Meanwhile, Pollard's replacement, Mike Brown, struggled in pass coverage and run support. The Chiefs had some of the worst safety play in the league.
Let's see. When I click here, it looks like he played in 13 games for the Houston Texans in 2009, which, and this may come as a shock, are not the Kansas City Chiefs. Compare Pollard's '09 numbers with Brown's. They're not that much better. The only glaring difference is defensive-interception yards.
84 Dustin Colquitt, P: He was sixth in the league in net punting average (40.8) and second in the league in kicks downed inside the 20 (41). He had one kick blocked. Colquitt had a good year.
A good year. Does good equate to a low 'B'? Many folks wanted to name Colquitt the unofficial MVP for the team again. He certainly earned his.
82 Wade Smith, G: Did you know this offensive guard has been in the league seven years? I had no clue. I'm just glad Smith was good enough to make me forget Mike Goff. I've got no problem with Smith. He was on the field the day Charles ran for 259 yards. Maybe Smith can hold on to the job at right guard next season.
Wow. You give the dude who played in three grades almost the same grade you give Colquitt? Unpossible!
82 Andy Studebaker, LB: He won the Pittsburgh game with two interceptions. Enough said.
I'll agree with that assessment. The homer in me wants to give him an 88, but too much disagreeance is annoying.
81 Ryan O'Callaghan, T: One of many ex-Pats to find their way on the Chiefs' roster. Ryan O looked like a bum blocking for Larry Johnson and, like the rest of KC's offensive line, looked pretty good blocking for Jamaal Charles. He's a former Patriot, so you know he's not going anywhere. From what I understand Scott Pioli is negotiating a deal with Ollie Gates to have New England Clam Chowder added to the Gates menu.
I can only say this about this guy: The right side of the line looked entirely better this year whereas last year, they were like Jordan "I-65" Black.
81 Wallace Gilberry, DE: I like Wally a lot, and it's not just because he has a unique name for a brother. Wally does something his higher-drafted defensive end teammates can't do. Wally actually tackles the opposing quarterback in the backfield. He did it 4 1/2 times this season. The L$U Brothers — Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson — combined for one sack this season. Wally is underpaid.
Funny you mention a dude's ethnicity and salary in the same thought. Who'd'a thunk?
81 Corey Mays, LB: The reality is that Mays has no business starting in the NFL. He's good special-teams player the Chiefs asked to play inside linebacker. When the coaching staff (under the influence of Scott Pioli) emphasized fundamentals over talent at the linebacker position, Mays became a candidate to start in Kansas City. He looked good in stretches. But at the end of the day, Mays didn't record a sack, forced fumble or interception. He's a guy who ran around trying to make ordinary plays and never getting close to a big play. It's not his fault. New England and Cincinnati — his previous stops — never asked him to be a starter.
"ran around trying to make ordinary plays"? I struggle to think of a guy that was in on more tackles than any other member on the roster. Why's that? Oh. It's because only Demorrio Williams and Mike Brown had more.
80 Brandon Carr, CB: Playing opposite Flowers, Carr gets tested repeatedly. It's a tough gig. Carr handled it well. He started all 16 games, intercepting one pass, forcing a fumble and breaking up 19 passes. Carr's future is bright. Flowers is going to make Carr continue to elevate his play. Flowers and Carr can be as good as Hasty and Carter.
I know that many, many Chiefs fans are likely to appreciate the Hasty/Carter references. I am not one of them. The Marty days were grand for our generation, but they resulted in zero pieces of hardware. I like Carr. I hope his ceiling's higher than it appears.
79 Demorrio Williams, LB: He probably deserves a higher grade, but he loses cool points because he kept Derrick Johnson on the sideline. Plus, Williams was one of Haley's favorite players. Let's see, sacks, forced fumbles and interceptions — zero. Linebackers are supposed to be impact players, especially on a 3-4 team. Leading the Chiefs in (harmless) tackles doesn't justify an elite grade.
Williams was one of the weirdest signings of the Edwards era. Why he wound up one of Haley's favorites is still a touch puzzling. While I agree with the philosophy here, I'll point out that the middle linebacker position has, for a number of years, been the one that leads the team in tackles. It's also been the one in which the Chiefs part ways with the dude, and he has success elsewhere. See: Donnie Edwards, Scott Fujita, Kawika Mitchell, et al.
77 Alex Magee, DE: Well, lookee here, another young defensive end who can locate the opposing quarterback better than the L$U Brothers. In his rookie season, Magee recorded two sacks, doubling the combined total put up by Dorsey and Jackson. I like Magee. A year in the weight room might make him more stout against the run. This kid has upside.
This philosophy would imply that Scott Pioli knows what he's doing, in that you've given two of his picks a better-than-average grade in their rookie year. We'll see.
76 Ron Edwards, NT: What? Big Suge — Edwards looks just like Suge Knight — has been with KC four seasons? Wow. Every year he's not supposed to start. And every year the Chiefs can't find anyone better to plug the middle of their defense.
Gotta admit. Losing Tank Tyler and keeping Edwards around surprised me. Twenty-three tackles, three pass deflections, and a fumble recovery ain't terrible. I see know reason to offer something higher, though.
75 Bobby Wade, WR: The only player on the roster with the necessary midsection courage to yell at Haley. How can you not like Wade? He's a solid No. 4 receiver and a borderline No. 3. Wade runs good routes and has good hands. If he's back next year, I'll bet a thousand dollars he slaps Haley before the bye.
How can I not like Wade? Three fumbles, lower yards-per-reception than Bradley, Chambers, and Bowe. How many of our league-leading drops were his? He looked flashy in the first quarter, but a mere pan flash after. I appreciate that he came in, a-hem, off the streets, and immediately produced, but I can't give him any higher than a 70. Just catch the damn ball.
75 Mike Cox, FB: He's lived with that name for 24 years. I won't stoop to cracking a joke about it. He has no discernible talent other than a willingness to hurl his dumpy body in front of far more athletic bodies. It's a job. It pays the bills. I ain't hatin'.
Mike Cox prefers to be fidgeted with and hurled into other bodies. Mike Cox is not impressed with this analysis.
75 Jovan Belcher, LB: He started three games. His grandkids will never believe it. Hell, his friends and family don't believe it now. I can't believe it. Clancy Pendergast can't believe it.
I can't, by any stretch, give this guy the same grade as Wade and Cox. I can't say why, but I just can't.
74 Lance Long, WR: It is not true that Lance rents the basement of Haley's home. However, rumors that Haley will officially adopt Lance this offseason are gaining traction throughout the league. Haley sees himself in Long, a receiver with the talent to be a really good college golfer. Hey, maybe Long is Wes Welker Lite. But Haley might want to develop a Randy Moss at the other receiver slot before jamming Long down our throats. For now, let's call Long a short Sean LaChapelle.
Awesome. Way to throw a golf reference in there. Tell LJ I think he's a bitch.
73 Mike Vrabel, LB: OK, Mike earns extra credit for not attacking Pioli. I mean, Vrabes is minding his own business milking the Belichick-Brady gravy train when Pioli decides Vrabes can be his locker-room snitch in Kansas City. A guy wins three Super Bowls in New England and then gets sentenced to a rebuilding project in KC that will be headed by Haley and Matt Cassel. You know Vrabel would give up one of his rings to get the hell out of here and back to Boston.
This might be the worst assessment of them all. I loved the intangibles that, at least in my mind, Vrabel brought to this team. You can tell he still wants to win, and pardon the cliche, but this locker room needs that kind of veteran leadership. I'd give him an 82. And hey, he was free.
73 Branden Albert, T: Let's hope Todd "Jenny Craig" Haley lets Branden be Fat Albert next season. The slimmed-down version of Albert wasn't as good as the heavier one. Albert is a good player. He's not a bust. He can play left tackle in the league, and he can damn sure play guard.
The fact that Albert gave up so many more pressures/sacks having lost 40+ pounds really, really troubles me. I hope, in this one particular area, that Haley knows what he's doing. I'd give him a 78, though, especially for late-season improvement.
72 Jon McGraw, S: Guess which game McGraw missed? The one where a Cleveland running back impersonated Jim Brown and rolled up 286 rushing yards. Had McGraw played, Jerome Harrison probably would have finished with 270 yards. But McGraw is a good special-teams player and a solid backup at safety. He was thrust into the starting role when Jarrad Page went down for the year. McGraw is a good NFL player when he's not overexposed.
If it's cool to toss race around then hey: One of two white-boy starting safeties in the league. Thirty-eight tackles, a fumble recovery, and a pick. Plus the dude hits like a Mack. I'll give him a 76.
71 Brodie Croyle, QB: After early-season talk that Croyle was pushing Cassel for the starting job, Brodie sat all year behind The Sixty Million Dollar Man. Brodie is a backup quarterback. He's not good enough to really push Cassel. Brodie would be an ideal backup for the Colts, Chargers, Patriots or Saints — teams with established superstars at QB.
Mostly, because you didn't trash my boy, I'll say that that's fair.
70 Barry Richardson, T: Big Barry started against the Browns and didn't embarrass himself.
Uh, okay.
Should consider summer school.
69 Rudy Niswanger, C: Had the bad snaps at San Diego. Still gets pushed around by the league's top nose tackles. The Chiefs tried to claim Detroit's practice-squad center late in the season, but the Lions moved him to the active roster. Rudy is the offensive lineman most likely to be replaced this offseason. He's not awful. He's just not good enough.
Pretty spot on. The kind of guy you'd like to make it, but he probably won't.
69 Donald Washington, CB: Man, I have high hopes for this kid. He's from my hometown (Indianapolis), and he was coached in high school by one of my former teammates. This rookie fourth-round pick couldn't crack the lineup as KC's nickel corner. That's disappointing. But I'm not ready to give up.
Yes. When you're not any better than DaJuan Morgan, a strong 'D' is about all you get.
68 Tim Castille, FB: Kid made a circus catch against Cincinnati. He then made the worst halfback pass I've ever seen in my life at Denver.
Without said circus catch, the Bengals game appears to be a blowout, but yeah -- how you don't know to consider that pass play covered and just chuck it out of bounds is beyond me.
68 Jarrad Page, S: Played hurt early in the season and then eventually ended up on injured reserve. He's probably a good player, but more than likely he'll be forced to prove it somewhere else. Maybe the Texans will get Page and pair him with Pollard.
Ah. Another Pollard jab. Didn't see that one coming. Page has been pretty solid for this terrible team since Big Herm drafted him. I'll be surprised if he's cut. His value shouldn't be overlooked. He's worth a 71.
68 Tyson Jackson, DE: I'm not as down on KC's top draft pick as other media representatives. I like Jackson's attitude. I believe he wants to be a good player. You shouldn't judge a strongside, 3-4 defensive end until his second year. Did Jackson show me any flashes? No. But after watching Ryan Sims, Junior Siavii, Eddie Freeman and all the other young KC defensive linemen flame out, I've learned to be patient. Being the first to call a KC D lineman a bust isn't as cool as it used to be.
This might could be the strongest assessment of the lot. Well done.
67 Leonard Pope, TE: Haley is as bad as Pioli in terms of loving to pick up scraps from his old team. Pope, Castille and Lance Long are all Arizona leftovers. Pope's most memorable moment was jumping up and signaling first down after a 5-yard catch at Jacksonville. He was 10 yards short of the first down, but you had to love his enthusiasm.
Kid reminds me of Jason Dunn. I'm holding out for a hero, and that hero is Brad Cottam.
67 Glenn Dorsey, DE: OK, we're two years into the Dorsey experiment, and GD is averaging a sack a season. Hmm. Dorsey was supposed to be the second coming of Warren Sapp when the Chiefs drafted him. He moved to defensive end this season because Pioli wants to play a 3-4. Glenn Dorsey is nobody's defensive end. If he's going to justify his salary, he needs to be a three-technique tackle in a 4-3 scheme. All the hype about how well Dorsey played this year was just noise intended to elevate his trade value this offseason. Let's hope Bill Parcells and Bill Belichick — Pioli's exclusive trade partners — don't read this report card.
Todd Haley saw improvement in Dorsey. I saw improvement in Dorsey. I'll therefore say he's worthy of a 72. And here goes the company -- Derrick Johnson -- line: Next year should be his breakout season.
66 Brad Cottam, TE: Oversized tight end got hurt just as Haley was letting him on the field. Cottam looked very good in the Cleveland game. That's how I will choose to remember him. He could be a player.
Yo. That's my jam. A middle 'D'? These are Tony Gonzalez's shoes he's trying to fill, and he shattered a vertebrae while landing on his head, and didn't fumble. At least give the guy a 70.
65 DaJuan Morgan, S: If you can't beat out Mike Brown, you can't get a high grade from me. Morgan is a disappointment.
64 Sean Ryan, TE: If you know why Ryan is on the roster, please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I had no clue this guy has been in the league six years. He's played for six different teams. Get this, he caught two touchdown passes this season, the first two of his career. I don't remember the scores or his 12 other catches. I'm sure he deserves a higher grade, but I ain't giving it to him.
He looked as good as Bobby Wade, which means he looked good for one game.
63 Matt Cassel, QB: The Sixty Million Dollar Man does not deserve an F. Pioli and Haley handcuffed Cassel by failing to provide him the proper tools to compete. The Chiefs led the league in dropped balls. Cassel was stuck with Larry Johnson at running back the first half of the season. Johnson's slow-footed running put the Chiefs in a lot of third-and-long situations. Third and long is not a quarterback's friend. Toss in the fact that Haley played musical chairs at receiver, and Cassel's 16 TD-16 INT season makes perfect sense. Don't give up on Cassel. He's not a franchise quarterback. He might be Chad Pennington.
That number grade is a joke, obviously, but all your points are solid. He's not a franchise quarterback, but he's not fragile, which, to me, is the only edge he has, and may ever have over Brodie. Tons of adversity for the guy in '09, but he wasn't better than a 68.
Report to Clark Hunt's office.
59 Ikechuku Ndukwe, T: This is the offensive tackle Bill Parcells pawned off on his son-in-law for a ham sandwich. Clark Hunt should forbid Pioli from speaking to Father Bill during business hours.
At least we got the pick back by sending them Thigpen.
59 Andy Alleman, G: This is the offensive guard Bill Parcells pawned off on his son-in-law for a tuna fish sandwich. Clark Hunt should forbid Pioli from speaking to Father Bill during business hours.
See: Ndukwe
58 Jake O'Connell, TE: I don't like him because the only thing I can remember is him dropping a couple of passes.
Yeah. I do like him in that he was a late pick in the draft, and, for no reason whatsoever, I had it in my head that a tight end out of Miami-Ohio was going to be a pleasant little secret that nobody had eyeballed. Maybe an oops.
58 Thomas Gafford, LS: He's getting replaced. Had at least one horrible punt snap and several bad field-goal snaps I remember. He's no Kendall Gammon.
57 Mike Goff, G: Whoa. Past-his-prime guard got blown up way too often. A terrible offseason acquisition. Kansas City's running game improved when Goff suffered an injury and an LJ went down on Twitter.
See: Gafford
56 Mike Brown, S: An absolute disaster. Brown used to be a top-flight player. Age and injuries caught up with him in Kansas City. He took terrible angles on running and passing plays. Rumors persist that he'll get 10 percent of Dallas receiver Miles Austin's next contract after personally escorting Austin to the end zone twice in Kansas City.
I know that you and your boy Nick Wright had Mike Brown-bashing parties while you stuffed each other's holes with Scimeca italian sausages and Burnt Ends sandwiches from Gates. "absolute disaster" is beyond a stretch. He did take some terrible angles in a few games, but he also made some plays and got better in the scheme as the season went on. What? No Pollard cracks?
56 Clancy Pendergast, defensive coordinator: The assistant coach Chiefs fans love to hate, and Haley will soon scapegoat for KC's defensive shortcomings. Buddy Ryan couldn't stop the run with the personnel provided to Pendergast. I'm not sold on Romeo Crennel as the new defensive coordinator. Bill Belichick designed and implemented the defenses that won New England Super Bowls. Romeo is a nice name. Nothing more.
I almost threw up in my mouth when I heard that Haley brought him over from the Sun Devil State. It's bad when, even for a fleeting moment, you find yourself longing for Gunther Cunningham. You, sir, are fired. Or should be.
56 Larry Johnson, RB: Never took the diapers off. Undermined Joe Paterno, Dick Vermeil, Herm Edwards and Todd Haley. That's about as wide a cross section of coaches as you could possibly have. Cincinnati's Marvin Lewis is the latest LJ sucker. All it took was one 5-yard carry against the Chiefs for LJ to make a fool of Marvin.
Man. Fifty-six is a solid 'F'. To me, the inverted-vagina symbol gets nothing more than a 40.
55 Scott Pioli, GM: Of Egoli's many first-year crimes as general manager, his defensive personnel trumps investing $63 million in a QB and 63 dollars in receivers and tight ends. Nope, the defensive personnel he gave his first-time head coach was atrocious. Football 101 preaches: You can't stop the run unless you're strong up the middle. An average nose tackle (Edwards), an out-of-position defensive end (Dorsey), a rookie defensive end (Jackson), kick-coverage linebackers (Mays and Williams), a washed-up safety (Brown) and a midlevel safety (Page). The strength of KC's defense was the edge players Carl Peterson left behind (Flowers, Carr and Hali). If the Chiefs open next season with Crennel as defensive coordinator and Charlie Weis as offensive coordinator, it will be official that Pioli doesn't have one original idea.
Wait. Now this is definitely the worst assessment of all. You give Larry freaking Johnson a higher grade than Pioli? After one year? I'm not even going to get into this. Rumor has it that you think Pioli -- and you're already-tired nickname confirms it -- is a complete asshole, and hey -- you're Jason Whitlock, dude. Big Sexy. Ball State. Guy who preaches about a lack of positive black role models in America, then hypes upcoming columns with crime-and-ghetto references. You deserve better treatment from Pioli. Carl Peterson never treated you this way. Shenanigans all around. The perfect grade for Pioli is this: 'I'. It, in case you're feelings have blinded you, stands for "incomplete."
51 Dwayne Bowe, WR: He's still dropping too many passes. The league suspended him for four games for violating its drug policy. He had his worst season as a pro. The Bowe Show needs a new location. Unfortunately he has no trade value. I know how this is going to play. Belichick is going to get on the horn and sweet-talk Egoli into handing Bowe over for a peanut butter sandwich and a double cheeseburger to be named later. Bowe will reinvent himself in New England and become a Pro Bowl player.
Too many drops? Check. PED violation? Check. Worst pro season? Check. H-I-larious (Update: Not really.) Pioli jab about getting less than value in return for him? Check. I don't know where this kid's head is or where his future lies, but I certainly can't pass him, especially after flipping a fan the bird at Arrowhead. The fan, in a non-classy move, hollered, "Don't drop the easy ones, Bowe!" during a moment of silence for Chris Henry, and Bowe gave him the finger. Bowe then dropped (at least) two balls that hit him in the hands, including the aforementioned touchdown pass. I'll give him a 57.
50 Todd Haley, coach: I know. You think I hate Haley. I don't. The guy is really likable. He's just embarrassingly immature. Good football coaches are patient. Haley has the patience of a mayfly, an insect with a lifespan of 30 minutes, and the game-day decision-making ability of a 13-year-old playing Madden video football for the first time. I'm going to cut my Haley commentary short because you've heard me moan and groan about Haley all season. I'm prayerful that he'll do some heavy self-examination this offseason and come back next season resembling a legit NFL coach.
Complete nonsense. Todd Haley for president.

Re: Idea Pre-paid: Unfair Practice
Something similar has happened with me, however mine was a post paid connection. I was not using it and had kept it aside for sometime. On purchasing a new cell for my son I tried using the card and it would not work. On contacting the call center I was told the number was assigned to somebody else as I had not used it for sometime. This was done without any notification being given to me. Complaining does not help, I just went ahead and got a new number.

Re: Idea Pre-paid: Unfair Practice
Yes it is right that one has to do atleast minimum of rs 200 recharge in 6 months. But along with that you have to use the no for outgoing/incoming call atleast once in two months. Otherwise the co. considers the no as inactive and allocates it to someone else. IDEA does it more than anybody else.
How do I know it??. I am in this business (selling cell phones/connections) and I see it every now and then. I had a customer whose vodafone no which he was using daily was given to someone else because his was prepaid but a good/premium no. But, we somehow managed to get it back.
|23rd February 2012, 15:11
Re: Idea Pre-paid: Unfair Practice
^^That somehow seems to be the case with me, as you can see my number is also a sort of premium number.
Though I was not using it extensively but I was surely receiving call/messages on this number of mine.
I have already started updating my other numbers with banks, credit cards etc.

Re: Idea Pre-paid: Unfair Practice
The reason is straight forward, yours is a premium number. Suggest you to slug it out with IDEA, else you will never get the number back.
|23rd February 2012, 15:32
Re: Idea Pre-paid: Unfair Practice
^^I am trying whatever I can, I have already shot a complaint mail to concerned email ids. Apart from this I have called up the Nodal officer (Delhi-NCR) and have explained him the issue. According to him they must have communicated about the deactivation of number prior hand, which is just not the case. He has promised me that he will get back to me with the proper cause of deactivation. In case I failed to get my number back following this way, I may opt for filing a consumer case against Idea cellular.
I know all this might end up being a futile exercise but I just can't let it go like this.

Re: Idea Pre-paid: Unfair Practice
I don't think any significant thing will happen, once you have lost that number and its given to someone else, its difficult for them to take it back from that someone else. They will hide behind some policy etc, you could challenge them, but chances are 50/50.
One curious question, if you were very determined to continue with that number why did you not change the same number to a post-paid one?

Re: Idea Pre-paid: Unfair Practice
Does this happen with postpaid service also?
I have a Vodafone connection in my native which I obviously dont use when I am in Mumbai. But I do pay the monthly rental on time. Twice Vodafone has disconnected my number citing a reason that I do not use that number.
What is their problem if I do not use that number? I am regularly paying the monthly rental, isnt it?

Re: Idea Pre-paid: Unfair Practice
I don't think so. My younger brother was out of India for one year, his no. ends with ****666007 which is a kind of a premium no these days. He paid minimum rental every month online and now he is back and the number is still working. This usually happens to prepaid numbers I guess.

Re: Idea Pre-paid: Unfair Practice
Visited TRAI website, there was no direct link to register a complaint or atleast I failed to find one, anyway wrote a mail to few of the email-ids which I feel might be relevant to such consumer related issue.
Tried calling the Nodal officer again, he again promised a call back with the reason of deactivation. Till now I have interacted with few CCE, Floor In-charge and someone from so called Nodal office, the apathy towards a customer concern is very obvious in their tone.
Whichever way this ends, Idea is about to loose a customer,as they care, I am going to apply for MNP for my postpaid number.

Re: Airtel Pre-paid: Unfair Practice
Hi Bandav,
This happened to me also , around 2005 i had a very premium Airtel prepaid number , unfortunately the phone was not working and was in Samsung repair shop for 2 week. when i finally got the phone back i was amazed to see 0 balance ( i had around 1000 + ) .
I contacted Airtel but no one was ready to explain me the reason , i even went to their HQ in delhi ( okhla) . Nothing happened . i stopped using Airtel since then and switched to MTNL / Vodaphone. I later came to know that if you do not recharge every month it will go to zero balance then then will be disconnected .
Now every time i get a call from airtel telecaller , i ask them to refund my money if they wish to sell me any plan. they never call back.
I now work with an international telco billing system. In that context it is generally belived that Airtel / Reliance <- Idea <- Voda phone <- MTNL in terms of billing system integrity.
Airtel / Reliance should be avoided , the best solution for your is to
1) Lodge an FIR stating that you lost your simi card . even an police Diary report wll do . if you can get it predated ( before 20 Jan ) nothing like it.
2) copy the FIR and send it to customer care
3) fwd the email to TRI
4) raise a complain on pgportal.gov.in
follow these 4 steps and you will get your number ... you can even call up the person using your number and tell him about the FIR.
if you wish to port your numbe do so as most telco really do not care about losing retail customers.

re: The Mobile Phone Thread - Queries, decisions, discussions all here
I want a phone; any budget to access internet sites like FB and Twitter. The Phone should be able to take a few blows and still work well and good battery life.
btw can I see all websites on the phone like I can see on PC ?
I also want to know how to use the Mobile phone to access the net. I have always had Fixed Wire Broadband.
btw I would not be selling my phone ever so I want something that will last a very long time.
GPS if available would be a good accessory.
I would prefer to have Physical Keys as it helps in keeping the phone reliable but if there is a reliable virtual key phone; it will also do.

re: The Mobile Phone Thread - Queries, decisions, discussions all here
I want a Very Reliable Long Lasting Phone which has Good Battery Life. I do not want the phone to break if it falls once or twice(ofc just a small casual fall).
I really do not have a Budget Problem. I can buy any phone you advise. I just want a phone to see websites.

A few of us from the Second Thursday group (plus a husband and a mom) met up at Deb Kolar's house to drive together to see the show she and her husband Jeff have currently at 212 Gallery in Saline, Michigan...but first...we got a fabulous tour of her gardens and house...I am only sharing the photos from the gardens. This post will be the gardens tour.
Jeff made pretty much all of the metal sculptures and Deb "made" the gardens and mosaics and ceramics. Oh...Jeff also built the gazebo.
