"Patriotism, sir, is the last resort of scoundrels," said Dr. Samuel Johnson. Leo Tolstoy, the greatest anti-patriot of our time, defines patriotism as the principle that will justify the training of wholesale murderers; a trade that requires better equipment in the exercise of man-killing than the making of such necessities as shoes, clothing, and houses; a trade that guarantees better returns and greater glory than that of the honest workingman.
When we can't dream any longer we die.
If love does not know how to give and take without restrictions, it is not love, but a transaction that never fails to lay stress on a plus and a minus.
Someone has said that it requires less mental effort to condemn than to think.
The demand for equal rights in every vocation of life is just and fair; but, after all, the most vital right is the right to love and be loved.
Crime is naught but misdirected energy. So long as every institution of today, economic, political, social, and moral, conspires to misdirect human energy into wrong channels; so long as most people are out of place doing the things they hate to do, living a life they loathe to live, crime will be inevitable, and all the laws on the statutes can only increase, but never do away with, crime.
Thinking men and women the world over are beginning to realize that patriotism is too narrow and limited a conception to meet the necessities of our time.
There is no hope even that woman, with her right to vote, will ever purify politics.
It is characteristic of theistic "tolerance" that no one really cares what the people believe in, just so they believe or pretend to believe.
The right to vote, or equal civil rights, may be good demands, but true emancipation begins neither at the polls nor in courts. It begins in woman's soul.
When we have undermined the patriotic lie, we shall have cleared the path for the great structure where all shall be united into a universal brotherhood — a truly free society.
The God idea is growing more impersonal and nebulous in proportion as the human mind is learning to understand natural phenomena and in the degree that science progressively correlates human and social events.
Perhaps even more than constituted authority, it is social uniformity and sameness that harass the individual most. His very "uniqueness," "separateness" and "differentiation" make him an alien, not only in his native place, but even in his own home. Often more so than the foreign born who generally falls in with the established.
Christianity is most admirably adapted to the training of slaves, to the perpetuation of a slave society; in short, to the very conditions confronting us to-day.... The rulers of the earth have realized long ago what potent poison inheres in the Christian religion. That is the reason they foster it; that is why they leave nothing undone to instill it into the blood of the people. They know only too well that the subtleness of the Christian teachings is a more powerful protection against rebellion and discontent than the club or the gun.
The custom of procuring abortions has reached such appalling proportions in America as to be beyond belief... So great is the misery of the working classes that seventeen abortions are committed in every one hundred pregnancies.
The spirit of militarism has already permeated all walks of life. Indeed, I am convinced that militarism is a greater danger here than anywhere else, because of the many bribes capitalism holds out to those whom it wishes to destroy.
The Fathers of the Church can well afford to preach the gospel of Christ. It contains nothing dangerous to the regime of authority and wealth; it stands for self-denial and self-abnegation, for penance and regret, and is absolutely inert in the face of every [in]dignity, every outrage imposed upon mankind.
The average mind is slow in grasping a truth, but when the most thoroughly organized, centralized institution, maintained at an excessive national expense, has proven a complete social failure, the dullest must begin to question its right to exist. The time is past when we can be content with our social fabric merely because it is "ordained by divine right," or by the majesty of the law.
The strongest bulwark of authority is uniformity; the least divergence from it is the greatest crime. The wholesale mechanisation of modern life has increased uniformity a thousandfold. It is everywhere present, in habits, tastes, dress, thoughts and ideas. Its most concentrated dullness is "public opinion." Few have the courage to stand out against it. He who refuses to submit is at once labelled "queer," "different," and decried as a disturbing element in the comfortable stagnancy of modern life.
Atheism … in its philosophic aspect refuses allegiance not merely to a definite concept of God, but it refuses all servitude to the God idea, and opposes the theistic principle as such. Gods in their individual function are not half as pernicious as the principle of theism which represents the belief in a supernatural, or even omnipotent, power to rule the earth and man upon it. It is the absolutism of theism, its pernicious influence upon humanity, its paralyzing effect upon thought and action, which Atheism is fighting with all its power.
No sacrifice is lost for a great ideal! (p. 135)
The free expression of the hopes and aspirations of a people is the greatest and only safety in a sane society.
Government exists but to maintain special privilege and property rights; it coerces man into submission and therefore robs him of dignity, self-respect, and life.
Every daring attempt to make a great change in existing conditions, every lofty vision of new possibilities for the human race, has been labelled Utopian.
The people are asleep; they remain indifferent. They forge their own chains and do the bidding of their masters to crucify their Christs. (p. 304)
Nothing would prove more disastrous to our ideas, we contended, than to neglect the effect of the internal upon the external, of the psychological motives and needs upon existing institutions. (p. 402)
Anarchism is the only philosophy which brings to man the consciousness of himself; which maintains that God, the State, and society are non-existent, that their promises are null and void, since they can be fullfilled only through man's subordination.
When, in the course of human development, existing institutions prove inadequate to the needs of man, when they serve merely to enslave, rob, and oppress mankind, the people have the eternal right to rebel against, and overthrow, these institutions.
With the conception that the Revolution was only a means of securing political power, it was inevitable that all revolutionary values should be subordinated to the needs of the Socialist State; indeed, exploited to further the security of the newly acquired governmental power.
I feel sure that the police are helping us more than I could do in ten years. They are making more anarchists than the most prominent people connected with the anarchist cause could make in ten years. If they will only continue I shall be very grateful; they will save me lots of work
Our institutions and conditions rest upon deep-seated ideas. To change those conditions and at the same time leave the underlying ideas and values intact means only a superficial transformation, one that cannot be permanent or bring real betterment. It is a change of form only, not of substance, as so tragically proven by Russia.
To-day is the parent of to-morrow. The present casts its shadow far into the future. That is the law of life, individual and social. Revolution that divests itself of ethical values thereby lays the foundation of injustice, deceit, and oppression for the future society. The means used to prepare the future become its cornerstone.
The period of the actual revolution, the so-called transitory stage, must be the introduction, the prelude to the new social conditions. It is the threshold to the NEW LIFE, the new HOUSE OF MAN AND HUMANITY. As such it must be of the spirit of the new life, harmonious with the construction of the new edifice.
What is patriotism? Is it love of one's birthplace, the place of childhood's recollections and hopes, dreams and aspirations? Is it the place where, in childlike naïveté, we would watch the passing clouds, and wonder why we, too, could not float so swiftly? The place where we would count the milliard glittering stars, terror-stricken lest each one "an eye should be," piercing the very depths of our little souls?
There is no greater fallacy than the belief that aims and purposes are one thing, while methods and tactics are another, This conception is a potent menace to social regeneration. All human experience teaches that methods and means cannot be separated from the ultimate aim. The means employed become, through individual habit and social practice, part and parcel of the final purpose; they influence it, modify it, and presently the aims and means become identical.
It cannot be sufficiently emphasized that revolution is in vain unless inspired by its ultimate ideal. Revolutionary methods must be in tune with revolutionary aims. The means used to further the revolution must harmonize with its purposes. In short, the ethical values which the revolution is to establish in the new society must be initiated with the revolutionary activities of the so-called transitional period. The latter can serve as a real and dependable bridge to the better life only if built of the same material as the life to be achieved.
America had declared war with Spain.... It did not require much political wisdom to see that America's concern was a matter of sugar and had nothing to do with humanitarian feelings. Of course there were plenty of credulous people, not only in the country at large, but even in liberal ranks, who believed in America's claim. I could not join them. I was sure that no one, be it individual or government, engaged in enslaving and exploiting at home, could have the integrity or the desire to free people in other lands. (p. 226)
Revolution is indeed a violent process. But if it is to result only in a change of dictatorship, in a shifting of names and political personalities, then it is hardly worth while. It is surely not worth all the struggle and sacrifice, the stupendous loss in human life and cultural values that result from every revolution. If such a revolution were even to bring greater social well being (which has not been the case in Russia) then it would also not be worth the terrific price paid: mere improvement can be brought about without bloody revolution.
The great and inspiring aims of the Revolution became so clouded with and obscured by the methods used by the ruling political power that it was hard to distinguish what was temporary means and what final purpose. Psychologically and socially the means necessarily influence and alter the aims. The whole history of man is continuous proof of the maxim that to divest one's methods of ethical concepts means to sink into the depths of utter demoralization. In that lies the real tragedy of the Bolshevik philosophy as applied to the Russian Revolution. May this lesson not be in vain.
No revolution can ever succeed as a factor of liberation unless the MEANS used to further it be identical in spirit and tendency with the PURPOSES to be achieved. Revolution is the negation of the existing, a violent protest against man's inhumanity to man with all the thousand and one slaveries it involves. It is the destroyer of dominant values upon which a complex system of injustice, oppression, and wrong has been built up by ignorance and brutality. It is the herald of NEW VALUES, ushering in a transformation of the basic relations of man to man, and of man to society.
We Americans claim to be a peace-loving people. We hate bloodshed; we are opposed to violence. Yet we go into spasms of joy over the possibility of projecting dynamite bombs from flying machines upon helpless citizens. We are ready to hang, electrocute, or lynch anyone, who, from economic necessity, will risk his own life in the attempt upon that of some industrial magnate. Yet our hearts swell with pride at the thought that America is becoming the most powerful nation on earth, and that she will eventually plant her iron foot on the necks of all other nations. Such is the logic of patriotism.
Its first ethical precept is the identity of means used and aims sought. The ultimate end of all revolutionary social change is to establish the sanctity of human life, the dignity of man, the right of every human being to liberty and wellbeing. Unless this be the essential aim of revolution, violent social changes would have no justification. For external social alterations can be, and have been, accomplished by the normal processes of evolution. Revolution, on the contrary, signifies not mere external change, but internal, basic, fundamental change. That internal change of concepts and ideas, permeating ever-larger social strata, finally culminates in the violent upheaval known as revolution.
The STATE IDEA, the authoritarian principle, has been proven bankrupt by the experience of the Russian Revolution. If I were to sum up my whole argument in one sentence I should say: The inherent tendency of the State is to concentrate, to narrow, and monopolize all social activities; the nature of revolution is, on the contrary, to grow, to broaden, and disseminate itself in ever-wider circles. In other words, the State is institutional and static; revolution is fluent, dynamic. These two tendencies are incompatible and mutually destructive. The State idea killed the Russian Revolution and it must have the same result in all other revolutions, unless the libertarian idea prevail.
Do not all theists insist that there can be no morality, no justice, honesty or fidelity without the belief in a Divine Power? Based upon fear and hope, such morality has always been a vile product, imbued partly with self-righteousness, partly with hypocrisy. As to truth, justice, and fidelity, who have been their brave exponents and daring proclaimers? Nearly always the godless ones: the Atheists; they lived, fought, and died for them. They knew that justice, truth, and fidelity are not conditioned in heaven, but that they are related to and interwoven with the tremendous changes going on in the social and material life of the human race; not fixed and eternal, but fluctuating, even as life itself.
Witness the tragic condition of Russia. The methods of State centralization have paralysed individual initiative and effort; the tyranny of the dictatorship has cowed the people into slavish submission and all but extinguished the fires of liberty; organized terrorism has depraved and brutalized the masses and stifled every idealistic aspiration; institutionalized murder has cheapened human life, and all sense of the dignity of man and the value of life has been eliminated; coercion at every step has made effort bitter, labour a punishment, has turned the whole of existence into a scheme of mutual deceit, and has revived the lowest and most brutal instincts of man. A sorry heritage to begin a new life of freedom and brotherhood.
The reward in heaven is the perpetual bait, a bait that has caught man in an iron net, a strait-jacket which does not let him expand or grow. All pioneers of truth have been, and still are, reviled; they have been, and still are, persecuted. But did they ask humanity to pay the price? Did they seek to bribe mankind to accept their ideas? They knew too well that he who accepts a truth because of the bribe, will soon barter it away to a higher bidder... Proud and self-reliant characters prefer hatred to such sickening artificial love. Not because of any reward does a free spirit take his stand for a great truth, nor has such a one ever been deterred because of fear of punishment.
The dominant, almost general, idea of revolution — particularly the Socialist idea — is that revolution is a violent change of social conditions through which one social class, the working class, becomes dominant over another class, the capitalist class. It is the conception of a purely physical change, and as such it involves only political scene shifting and institutional rearrangements. Bourgeois dictatorship is replaced by the "dictatorship of the proletariat" — or by that of its "advance guard," the Communist Party. Lenin takes the seat of the Romanovs, the Imperial Cabinet is rechristened Soviet of People's Commissars, Trotsky is appointed Minister of War, and a labourer becomes the Military Governor General of Moscow. That is, in essence, the Bolshevik conception of revolution, as translated into actual practice.
In its mad passion for power, the Communist State even sought to strengthen and deepen the very ideas and conceptions which the Revolution had come to destroy. It supported and encouraged all the worst antisocial qualities and systematically destroyed the already awakened conception of the new revolutionary values. The sense of justice and equality, the love of liberty and of human brotherhood — these fundamentals of the real regeneration of society — the Communist State suppressed to the point of extermination. Man's instinctive sense of equity was branded as weak sentimentality; human dignity and liberty became a bourgeois superstition; the sanctity of life, which is the very essence of social reconstruction, was condemned as unrevolutionary, almost counter-revolutionary. This fearful perversion of fundamental values bore within itself the seed of destruction.
This perversion of the ethical values soon crystallized into the all-dominating slogan of the Communist Party: THE END JUSTIFIES ALL MEANS. Similarly in the past the Inquisition and the Jesuits adopted this motto and subordinated to it all morality. It avenged itself upon the Jesuits as it did upon the Russian Revolution. In the wake of this slogan followed lying, deceit, hypocrisy and treachery, murder, open and secret. It should be of utmost interest to students of social psychology that two movements as widely separated in time and ideas as Jesuitism and Bolshevism reached exactly similar results in the evolution of the principle that the end justifies all means. The historic parallel, almost entirely ignored so far, contains a most important lesson for all coming revolutions and for the whole future of mankind.
Everywhere and always, since its very inception, Christianity has turned the earth into a vale of tears; always it has made of life a weak, diseased thing, always it has instilled fear in man, turning him into a dual being, whose life energies are spent in the struggle between body and soul. In decrying the body as something evil, the flesh as the tempter to everything that is sinful, man has mutilated his being in the vain attempt to keep his soul pure, while his body rotted away from the injuries and tortures inflicted upon it. The Christian religion and morality extols the glory of the Hereafter, and therefore remains indifferent to the horrors of the earth. Indeed, the idea of self-denial and of all that makes for pain and sorrow is its test of human worth, its passport to the entry into heaven.
The history of the American kings of capital and authority is the history of repeated crimes, injustice, oppression, outrage, and abuse, all aiming at the suppression of individual liberties and the exploitation of the people. A vast country, rich enough to supply all her children with all possible comforts, and insure well-being to all, is in the hands of a few, while the nameless millions are at the mercy of ruthless wealth gatherers, unscrupulous lawmakers, and corrupt politicians. The reign of these kings is holding mankind in slavery, perpetuating poverty and disease, maintaining crime and corruption; it is fettering the spirit of liberty, throttling the voice of justice, and degrading and oppressing humanity. It is engaged in continual war and slaughter, devastating the country and destroying the best and finest qualities of man; it nurtures superstition and ignorance, sows prejudice and strife, and turns the human family into a camp of Ishmaelites.
Conceit, arrogance and egotism are the essentials of patriotism. Let me illustrate. Patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one surrounded by an iron gate. Those who have had the fortune of being born on some particular spot consider themselves nobler, better, grander, more intelligent than those living beings inhabiting any other spot. It is, therefore, the duty of everyone living on that chosen spot to fight, kill and die in the attempt to impose his superiority upon all the others. The inhabitants of the other spots reason in like manner, of course, with the result that from early infancy the mind of the child is provided with blood-curdling stories about the Germans, the French, the Italians, Russians, etc. When the child has reached manhood he is thoroughly saturated with the belief that he is chosen by the Lord himself to defend his country against the attack or invasion of any foreigner. It is for that purpose that we are clamoring for a greater army and navy, more battleships and ammunition. An army and navy represent the people's toys.
Love, the strongest and deepest element in all life, the harbinger of hope, of joy, of ecstasy; love, the defier of all laws, of all conventions; love, the freest, the most powerful moulder of human destiny; how can such an all-compelling force be synonymous with that poor little State and Church-begotten weed, marriage? Free love? As if love is anything but free! Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. High on a throne, with all the splendor and pomp his gold can command, man is yet poor and desolate, if love passes him by. And if it stays, the poorest hovel is radiant with warmth, with life and color. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king. Yes, love is free; it can dwell in no other atmosphere.
Ladies and gentlemen, I came here to avoid as much as possible treading on your corns. I had intended to deal only with the basic issue of economics that dictates our lives from the cradle to the grave, regardless of our religion or moral beliefs. I see now that it was a mistake. If one enters a battle, he cannot be squeamish about a few corns. Here, then, are my answers: I do not believe in God, because I believe in man. Whatever his mistakes, man has for thousands of years past been working to undo the botched job your God has made. As to killing rulers, it depends entirely on the position of the ruler. If it is the Russian Czar, I most certainly believe in dispatching him to where he belongs. If the ruler is as ineffectual as an American President, it is hardly worth the effort. There are, however, some potentates I would kill by any and all means at my disposal. They are Ignorance, Superstition, and Bigotry — the most sinister and tyrannical rulers on earth. As for the gentleman who asked if free love would not build more houses of prostitution, my answer is: They will all be empty if the men of the future look like him.
At the dances I was one of the most untiring and gayest. One evening a cousin of Sasha, a young boy, took me aside. With a grave face, as if he were about to announce the death of a dear comrade, he whispered to me that it did not behoove an agitator to dance. Certainly not with such reckless abandon, anyway. It was undignified for one who was on the way to become a force in the anarchist movement. My frivolity would only hurt the Cause. I grew furious at the impudent interference of the boy. I told him to mind his own business. I was tired of having the Cause constantly thrown into my face. I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from convention and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to become a nun and that the movement would not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it. "I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everybody's right to beautiful, radiant things." Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world — prisons, persecution, everything. Yes, even in spite of the condemnation of my own closest comrades I would live my beautiful ideal. (p. 56)
Our writer claims that militarism can never become such a power in America as abroad, since it is voluntary with us, while compulsory in the Old World. Two very important facts, however, the gentleman forgets to consider. First, that conscription has created in Europe a deep-seated hatred of militarism among all classes of society. Thousands of young recruits enlist under protest and, once in the army, they will use every possible means to desert. Second, that it is the compulsory feature of militarism which has created a tremendous anti-militarist movement, feared by European Powers far more than anything else. After all, the greatest bulwark of capitalism is militarism. The very moment the latter is undermined, capitalism will totter. True, we have no conscription; that is, men are not usually forced to enlist in the army, but we have developed a far more exacting and rigid force--necessity. Is it not a fact that during industrial depressions there is a tremendous increase in the number of enlistments? The trade of militarism may not be either lucrative or honorable, but it is better than tramping the country in search of work, standing in the bread line, or sleeping in municipal lodging houses. After all, it means thirteen dollars per month, three meals a day, and a place to sleep. Yet even necessity is not sufficiently strong a factor to bring into the army an element of character and manhood. No wonder our military authorities complain of the "poor material" enlisting in the army and navy. This admission is a very encouraging sign. It proves that there is still enough of the spirit of independence and love of liberty left in the average American to risk starvation rather than don the uniform.

We've heard that human violence is on the rise, that it's on the wane, that it's hard-wired, and that it's learned. But what do we really know about where violence comes from and how to stop it? Psychologist Steven Pinker, anthropologist Richard Wrangham, and crime writer Harold Schechter discuss the origins of mankind's most troubling characteristic.

Doctors Show Trick Shots Are Not Just For Sports [Video]
Trick Shot videos have been popping up all over the internet lately. Quarterbacks, basketball players, soccer players and even some people just doing everyday things have impressed us with their talents. Well, it's about time things got serious! That's why we've called the Doctor to help us out. Now take a seat, the Doctor will see you shortly.
OK, so that might be fake . . . entertaining, but fake. This video however is real, and it took a real long time to do it.

I stumbled across Technabob.com when I saw a tubeless bicycle tire that looks promising. If you want to see the latest bicycle innovations, this is one place to go.
Tubeless tires already exist, and have for eons, but this one is designed after a new car tire that also eliminates the tube. These tubeless tires have holes in them (think honeycomb) that make the tire light and pliable.
I have no idea if the ERW airless tire will ever catch on, but I think the tube/tire combination is going away, eventually. Nobody likes flat tires. The big hurdle has been rolling resistance, weight and ease of mounting. Of course today's rims probably won't be compatible with any new tire technology, so there's another hurdle.
Tom Ritchey of Ritchey USA has spoken about the challenges of overcoming inertia in the bike industry. He has an interesting seat and post design that eliminates the rails, but it's incompatible with today's seat posts. When a new disruptive technology comes along, it needs to be so compelling that people are willing to change the status quo. It's not easy.
Technabob points out some other interesting inventions, like the folding helmet and a simple dynohub that charges cell phones. Most of these inventions will go nowhere because they're not really doing a better job of solving a problem than what's here, but with so many new building materials coming our way, a few will go mainstream.
I can't wait.

Toyota Motor Co., reportedly plans to release a production version of the second hybrid sports concept model called Hybrid Sports Concept GRMN Conversion II. To complete the plan, Toyota will refine the concept model that was introduced at the Tokyo Auto Salon last year and will unveil a new look in the event the Nurburgring 24 hour endurance race, in Germany this weekend. Toyota parts to be upgraded in this model is more for the appearance of the exterior and some changes to the engine. Driving force model is still the same as the concept model shown at the TAS (Tokyo Auto Salon) 2010 that uses a V6 engine that will drive the rear wheels loans combined electric motor from the Lexus RX450 to drive the front wheels.
The machine that is implemented for it is 3500 cc engine which is the development of the old V6 engine that carried its concept model. It was used machines with a capacity of 3300 cc. Strength was greater, from 208 hp to 246 hp, while when combined with electric motors, the revised model has a power Toyota GRMN Sports Hybrid Concept II 295 dk. Its weight was lighter than the model concept. Toyota reveals that the revised model will be produced later will weigh 1,500 kg, or 200 kg lighter than the model concept.
Major changes will occur in exterior Toyota GRMN Sports Hybrid Concept II open roof, especially in terms of styling. Toyota MR2 will refer to the display, which also uses its platform. Toyota GRMN Sports Hybrid Concept II muzzle will further highlight the shark with the headlamp shape a more widened the distance from each other. Will also be revised front bumper design with a more aggressive lip spoiler.
Toyota GRMN Sports Hybrid Concept II that has a length of 4350 millimeters (mm), width 1890 mm, and height 1,200 mm. Compared to a sports car Honda CR-Z hybrid, Toyota convertible car was longer 270 mm, width 195 mm and 150 mm lower.

When you think of the best parts of your childhood, Dad is indelibly among them. The smell of his after shave and brush of his stubble. The excitement of his coming home and throwing you in the air. The weird songs he chose to sing along to when driving or working in the garage ("Love is a burning thing…"). Yup, Dad is a large part of our favorite memories, so of course we somehow want to convey that to him come Father's Day. And since he still likes to tinker in his garage, work on his car and stay busy, here are ten excellent suggestions from Harbor Freight Tools on what to get him.
This best-selling 3-ton low-profile steel jack can fit in small spaces and lift big things– and it makes the job easier, 'cause it gets the vehicle up, fast and high. Embodied with strength and durability, the heavy-duty jack rolls and maneuvers easily on concrete with its wide steel wheels, and is long enough to get way under the vehicle. A winner for anyone looking for a "heavy" jack!
For the man who has everything… something to put it in! Finally, Dad can consolidate his multiple toolboxes into this one durable, spacious cabinet. Made of heavy-duty industrial-strength steel, this baby can hold over 2,500 lbs. of tools and roll around the garage to assist him with whatever job he's got cooking. You'd spend hundreds more elsewhere to get the same lifelong service this favorite tool cabinet will provide.
If Dad's the kind of guy who boldly goes where no man (in their right mind) has gone before, then our Badlands 12K electric winch is the ticket. Built to be tortured and come back for more, this winch will emancipate stuck vehicles, haul downed trees and load boats. Rain? Snow? Mud? Please. Throw in the Wireless Winch Remote #61474 and Dad can Snapchat his adventures while the winch does all the work!
If you've noticed that, from time to time, Dad's been in need of a welder– or if he's expressed interest to get into welding– here is the perfect unit to get him equipped, With our best-selling 90 amp flux core welder, you get the functionality of a MIG welder without the hassle of gas. Set-up and operation are way easy, and the performance is awesome! Dad will find out soon enough how invaluable this welder is, for small repairs and in the garage. Pick up one of our Auto-Darkening Helmets #61611 while you're at it.
While the old man's still got plenty of hot air to spare, why not make life easier for him by having one of these handy, reliable units in the garage? This 3-gallon oilless air compressor is a mighty mite for inflation, stapling, nailing, sanding, buffing, spray painting and all kinds of small pneumatic projects around the house. It takes very little space and tucks out of the way until it's needed again. A nice addition in any home, shop or garage.
With the ability to set up in 23 different configurations, our multi-task ladder will perform for Dad like a boss, whatever his chore. Made of super-strong aircraft-grade aluminum, this unit can transform into 4 kinds of step ladders, 6 kinds of stair ladders, 7 types of extension ladders, 2 kinds of scaffold trestles and 4 sizes of storage ladder. We wouldn't be surprised if it'll make him a sandwich, but don't quote us. As the title suggests, our multi-task ladder stretches out to 17 ft. and can easily sustain 300 lbs. And, it sells for much less than the leading competitors! (*in stores only)
This 10″ sliding compound miter saw will easily make a home in your Dad's shop. For it's size and price, he will be pleasantly surprised at how big a cut it makes. Great for plywood, baseboards, trim, molding, flooring– and with the switch of a blade, can also cut masonry and metal. With its robust 15 amp motor this power saw delivers precision cross, bevel and miter cuts. A great deal and a handy addition for Dad.
Here's the tool Dad will grab whenever he announces, "Stand back, Junior, and prepare to be dazzled!" Our 6″ reciprocating saw is a top-rated workhorse that cuts through heavy lumber, nails, siding, branches and roots, exhaust pipe, etc., like butter. This is the go-to tool for remodeling kitchens, tearing down porches and removing a door or window. One of the features he'll really like is how he can control direction, making it easy to get around tricky areas. The reciprocating saw could easily become his favorite tool in the garage.
If Dad's a "Wild Hog," here's the item on the type of every rider's wish list. With our motorcycle lift, he can wrench and clean his bike with ease, saving his back and knees, and making it a lot less effort to get up for another tool. With just a pump of the foot, he can lift his bike to a comfortable level, safe and secure on the stand. This motorcycle life is strong, rugged and could easily be employed for commercial use. Throw in a couple of our Magnetic Bowls, and the old man will be in hog heaven!
Speaking of wrenching, may we suggest Harbor Freight's most complete, end-all mechanic's tool kit. At a fraction of the cost competitors' similar sets, this professional mechanic's tool set contains a comprehensive collection of the most-used automotive and mechanic's tools in both SAE and metric sizes. It's got everything organized and clearly labeled so he won't waste time zeroing in on the right tool or right size. Dad will not only be excited about the performance of these tools, he'll be happy to see how many different kinds are all together in one box. As one customer put it, "Hands down, the best tool set for the money!"
Whatever you think your dad might like, chances are good you'll find it at Harbor Freight Tools— and because of the low prices there, you'll be able to get something really nice and look like a champ (not that you'll ever be the champ Dad is).

We are looking for a design for the homepage of an exam prep site. We host over a hundred training/testing websites so this design contest may be the first of many.
EMSPrep.com is the cheesy (yet professional) version of its sister site, EMSCram.com. At this stage, the website design is pretty much a blank slate… anything goes (preferably a web 2.0 feel).
The content (including important testimonials), is ready and waiting at EMSPrep.com. This site has not been launched yet and the information was dumped on the page for the web design contest purposes. As you will see, there is a lot of information on this page; we are looking for a creative way to deliver this info.
Important Aspects:
Header: must be 770 x pixels wide. The header that is currently on EMSPrep.com is something that was thrown on and does not necessarily represent what we are looking for in the finished product.
Menu Bar: The menu bar that you will see at EMSPrep.com is static, the menu must stay in that location, the colors may be changed.
Email Header: We send out emails from our site and use a mini version of the site header as our email header (dimensions: must be 600 pixels wide)
- strong emphasis on "sign up" and "click here" and "start now" type messages/buttons throughout the page
- strong emphasis on medical graphics (ie. ambulance, medical symbols, etc…)

Here's a reality for many car guys: You pull up next to a Prius at a stoplight and look over at the driver with a mix of pity and condescension. You think to yourself "You have the money for a new car and you buy that?! You could've had a dozen Miatas/Fox bodies/busted-ass E30s for the money!" Then you roar off in your $3500 scrapheap, winding out the first few gears to remind them of their mistake and offset their carbon neutrality. Automotive enthusiasm comes with a bit of smug superiority. And, at this point in history, we've never been more on the defensive.
*This is an article from APiDA Online, written by our resident futurist Jim Zeigler. If you'd like to see more of these types of articles, check us out here.*
The story's original article can be found here.
The car guy is a dying breed. Studies show that teenage enthusiasm for the open road is waning, with AAA finding that only 44% of eligible teens get their license within a year of turning 16. Crash test regulations are putting more glass, metal, and plastic between the coddled cockpit and the road; never again will we comfortably rest our elbows on the driver's side sill on a windows-down day. And the average complexity of a car has evolved to the point that an electrical engineering degree will soon be required to change spark plugs. Imagine the aspiring tinkerer opening his hood and seeing this:
Pictured: Nothing to see here, time to go watch Netflix.
The nail in the coffin to all of this is the sinister workings of the occultist convent known as the EPA. The 2025 fuel economy standards mandate an average fleetwide rating of 54.5mpg. Technology will catch up and make this a feasible goal in the next eleven years, but one thing is almost certain: the cars ain't going to be fun to drive. The green world has no place for those who enjoy the sonorous sounds of combusting fossil fuels.
To put it bluntly, the automotive scene as we know it has an end-date. And while it may not be completely in the ground by 2025, you can bet that we will attend the wake in our lifetimes. I see Google's push for self-driving cars as the slowly-lowering pendulum. Can you imagine the company happy hour of the insurance industry the day their lobbyists manage to push through legislation requiring all cars to be automated? At least the analysts won't have to drive themselves home drunk.So hoo-rah, the car is dead. Stick a fork in 'em, let's move on to the next big thing (my money's on sex-boxes that directly interface with porn websites).
Or is it? Let's put down the gravedigger's shovel to look at the positives here. The most obvious is the promise of decreased traffic congestion. Automated driving may be just the thing to get oblivious motorists out of the damn fast lane. With every subsequent new crop of young drivers caring less and less about cars, that means fewer shit-for-brains teenagers texting/Tweeting/playing Xbox while driving. Moreover, with more people riding public transportation, the massive SUVs of the world may stay in their garage a bit more often. Economics will be in our favor. A decreased demand for gasoline will coincide well with our growing domestic oil output to make gas cheaper. With the price for electric and hybrid cars coming down, it's possible that people will unload their obsolete internal combustion vehicles for bargain-basement prices. Younger vintage car lovers have something to look forward to: as the boomers fade away, their prized classics will pass through the hands of apathetic relatives and into the ownership of enthusiasts.
Pictured: "Willing to trade for iPad"
The final solace is a grim one: we need to face the probable reality that the best cars have already been made. With today's legislation and consumer preference, what company (besides the boutique brands) would take the risk of producing a car with a rotary engine or a V12? Hell, even the V8 has been backed into a corner by a horde of boost-crazed V6s. Take no heed of the rumor of the week; it's unlikely that we'll ever see a 2400lb Miata or 9000rpm S2000 ever again. With the exception of a few outliers like the FR-S, the analog joy of driving has being forced out of existence by consumer preference.
Some will say this is an overly-pessimistic viewpoint, and they'd have a strong argument. Nothing has replaced the car as the ultimate expression of individuality; a cool iPhone case or cheeky graphic tee doesn't have the impact of a handbuilt engine or a 3" suspension lift. You'd have a right to question the likelihood of the average consumer relinquishing control of the steering wheel to an automated system. Couple that with the geographical reality that public transport isn't a viable option for many people and you could make a case that the car will never die.
To the doubters, I offer this retort: technology will prove you wrong, and the average American will let you down. The horse had its strong points when the intercontinental train system was introduced, and the train system had the same when air travel began. As tastes change, a DIY attitude towards cars will be looked at as an eccentric obsession even more than it already is. Capitalism forces change, and we're just tagging along.
So let's enjoy the ride. Drop the clutch when you're next to that Prius. Take the turn at twice the posted limit. Live out the twilight days of the machines we love with as much fervor as possible before they pry the keys out of our cold-dead hands. Just because we're living in the end of an era doesn't mean we have to go quietly.

|Ellen Elliott Ball, 1848-1935
Yet apparently she was totally different. She always had a soft spot for children, and was well-known in the family for giving out sweets (and extra cash to those who asked). She was known as 'Great Aunt Ellen' (even if she wasn't your great aunt) and even today, 75 years after her death, everybody in the family, whether or not they actually know any other ancestors, everybody has heard of 'Great Aunt Ellen'. My mother recalled their living arrangements when she was small. Granddad, Grandma, and seven children all in one bedroom, and Great Aunt Ellen in the other (amazes you that they managed to have seven children...). I have seen the house they lived in, and it is TINY.
Great Aunt Ellen never married, but was obviously beloved of all who knew her - and reverenced even by those who didn't.
I put this in the Analyzer at "I Write Like..." and it came up with this:
I write like
Margaret Mitchell
Margaret Mitchell
I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!
Margaret Mitchell was, of course, the authoress of 'Gone With the Wind'...

There are two main ways to run and debug Xegl. Over a network or using two video cards in the same machine. I use the two video card method.
Two video card method
- I run the normal X server on a PCI Rage128 AIW card. My target hardware is an AGP Radeon 9000. This script will set all of the devices up correctly. vbios.vm86 is my hacked tool for resetting a secondary video card using it VBIOS ROM. I run with the drm-no-root patch so all of the devices need to have their permissions set so that a normal user can access them. A some point PAM will do this automatically. The sleep is necessary in order to give udev time to build the device nodes.
#!/bin/sh vbios.vm86 rmmod radeonfb rmmod fb rmmod radeon rmmod drm modprobe radeon debug=1 insmod /home/mesa/drm/linux-core/drm.ko debug=1 insmod /home/mesa/drm/linux-core/radeon.ko sleep 2 chmod 666 /sys/class/graphics/fb0/* chmod 755 /sys/class/graphics/fb0/device chmod 666 /dev/input/* chmod 666 /dev/dri/*Next make sure your paths are ok and run Xegl. I don't bother installing mesa so I run it directly out of the build tree.
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/mesa/lib:/opt/xegl/lib $ /opt/xegl/bin/Xegl :1 -ac -screen 1024x768Now you can use any normal debugger to work on Xegl. I am using gdb and kdevelop. You can also run a window manager and some apps.
$ DISPLAY=:1 metacity $ DISPLAY=:1 xclock
Two machine and a net method
- In this method each machine has a single video card and remote gdb is used. I don't work this way so maybe someone else will contribute a description.

The February 2011 issue features a community-based anti-poaching operation. Published by CEC member Mangal Man Shakya of Nepal.
Participatory approach has been the key for development in recent times. The participation of local people for any developmental activities is a necessity in today's time as the traditional knowledge with modern entities is basis for progress. Community Based Anti-Poaching operation (CBAPO) is an initiation by the local youths residing in Buffer Zones and Community Forests in and around National Parks who work voluntarily to curb illegal wildlife trades and support park authorities in anti poaching operation. CBAPO is a concept for control of poaching where the local people are involved in awareness development and anti-poaching operation.
CBAPO has been actively working for Anti Poaching Operation by assisting the authorities of National Parks. They are vigorously involved in control of poaching and public awareness. They are playing crucial role in generating awareness to the public and providing information to enforcement agencies to control wildlife crime. It is necessary that more people are aware about such initiatives so that people at local level are motivated for such activities. With sufficient funding and training programs, CBAPO can be the best solution for anti poaching operation on local level. More....

BOSTON, Mass. – With nine different players finding the back of the net, men's hockey (5-5-2) secured their place in the 47th Annual Codfish Bowl championship game as they blanked Southern New Hampshire University (1-11-1) by the final score of 9-0 Friday afternoon in the Clark Athletic Center Ice Arena.
Tomorrow's championship appearance marks the third straight for the Beacons under current head coach Peter Belisle. The 9-0 victory ranks second all-time in tournament history for most goals scored in a shutout win. The current record still stands at 10-0 and was set in 1981 by Norwich University.
From the opening face-off the Beacons completely dominated their New Hampshire opponents, to earn their third straight win. Corey Chakeen (Quincy, Mass.), who recently was featured in the Boston Globe ended the scoreless draw just over one minute into the first period. That goal would then catapult the Beacons to two more goals in the first five minutes and 17 seconds. UMass' second goal belonged to Rob Florentino on an unassisted play, while Chris Wyman knocked in his first goal of the season to close out the Beacons early offensive surge.
After the intermission, UMass Boston knocked in two more scores, before unloading their final four goals in the third period. Faiz Khan (Newhall, Calif.) and Jim Ennis (Roslindale, Mass.) were the two goal scorers in the second, while in the third it was Mike DeGrazia (Novi, Mich.), Anthony Fitti (Havertown, Pa.), Steve Weston (Henniker, N.H.), and Kyle Tejchma (Fruitport, Mich.) who each knocked in a goal of their own before the final horn. The offense which had a player from each line find the back of the net combined for 39 shots in the victory.
The Beacons defensive effort was just as impressive as they held Southern New Hampshire to just 10 shots on the day, with only one being recorded in the first period. Senior Kevin Bendel (Denville, N.J.) notched his second straight shutout after tallying just 10 stops.
UMass Boston's power-play was also on fully display as the Beacons netted three goals on eight of their man-up opportunities. Both goals in the second period were scored on the power-play, with their third one coming at the 4:13 mark in the final frame.
For Southern New Hampshire, goalies Tyler Holske and Max Paluszynski combined for 30 stops. Holske left the game after the Beacons third score of the opening period. Paluszynski closed out the afternoon, and played extremely hard against the never-ending barrage of shots from the Beacons.
Men's hockey returns to the ice tomorrow at 4 p.m. when they face Tufts University in the championship game of the 47th Annual Codfish Bowl. Tufts defeated Johnson and Wales University (R.I.) in a shootout in Friday's first game. The game officially ended a 3-3 draw, but it was the Jumbos that knocked in the only goal of the shootout to advance to their first tournament championship.

This morning I was inspired to make muffins with Pamela's Products Baking & Pancake Mix. I wanted to add some kind of fruit, but I was out of muffins and only had one apple. I combined it with applesauce to create a moist, delicious muffin that would be great spread with almond butter, butter and honey, or even plain. I used muffin tin liners because I hate cleaning muffin tins, but the disadvantage is that the muffins stick to the liner until they cool completely. You can bake them either way- but do bake them, because they are really easy and YUMMY!
Pamela's Baking Mix Gluten-Free Apple Muffin Recipe
2 1/2 cup Pamela's Baking Mix
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vanilla sugar* or 2/3 cup honey or agave
2 eggs
1 snack pack applesauce
1/2 cup thinly sliced apple cubes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine liquid ingredients and whisk together. Fold in Pamela's baking mix and then your apple cubes.
Bake in greased muffin pans or muffin tins with liners. If you use the latter, wait until the muffin has completely cooled before removing from the paper liner. (If you want to eat a few hot out of the oven, grease a few of the muffin tins and put liners in the rest.) Start checking muffins at 20 minutes, but they may need to be baked for 30 minutes to really become golden brown.
Cool and enjoy! So easy and yummy.
*Make vanilla sugar by storing a vanilla bean in with your sugar overnight.

Freese created a tiered program in which the more buyers pay for the 11-song collection, the more they get for their money. For $7, fans can download the album from his website, but for anyone with a spare $75,000 kicking around, Freese has assembled a package that leaves the word "premium," well, cold.
Josh Freese: The headline on a Friday Calendar article about drummer Josh Freese's marketing gambit called him John Freese —
For that princely sum, the Buddy Rich of alternative music promises that he will:
* Write and record a five-song EP about the buyer's life.
* Join the buyer's band (if he or she has one) and go on tour.
* Take the buyer to a flying trapeze lesson with his former NIN cohort guitarist Robin Finck.
* Send the purchaser home with one (but only one) of his own drum kits.
And he'll throw in a T-shirt.
"It's gotten a lot of attention, which is good," said Freese, 36, between bites of a Cobb salad at a cafe in Long Beach Airport recently. "I'm not expecting that anyone will really buy the most expensive packages, but if they do, I'm up for all of it. It's not like I'm gonna go, 'Oh, dude, it was just a joke.' "
Freese dreamed up the extreme marketing plan himself, crafting other packages that run from $15 to $20,000, and he was invited to talk up the promotional scheme last week during an extended segment with KROQ-FM's (106.7) morning team Kevin and Bean.
It was valuable airtime for the musician, who recently played with Devo at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas -- the band is readying its first studio album in nearly 20 years -- and then jumped right into sessions for a solo effort with another former GNR member, guitarist Slash.
"My girlfriend and I joke that we're scared for different reasons," he said. "I'm nervous that no one's going to care and no one's going to buy any of them; she's nervous that I'll have to eat at P.F. Chang's three weeks in a row with weird super friends."
Freese wrote and plays about 99% of the music on "Since 1972," with a little help on the occasional guitar part from such pals as Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard and the Vandals' Warren Fitzgerald. As a songwriter, he shows an affinity for muscular alt- and hard-rock grooves laced with crisp guitar hooks under his engaging, chipper vocals.
There's a bit of Paul Westerberg's lovable loser in "Blood on Your Knuckles," a hint of Vandals' silliness in "I Wanna Cheat on My Girlfriend," and a taste of the bona fide wistfulness that often accompanies age and responsibility in "2002."
He concedes that his unusual pricing strategy is elevating the kinds of grass-roots marketing ploys many musicians have adopted in recent years to an entertainingly absurd level.
"People are doing things right now similar to this but on a more serious note," he said. "So why not go crazy with it, where I'm giving people foot massages, taking them to Disneyland and letting them take items out of my closet?"
The closet raid kicks in at $2,500. For a more modest investment of $15, buyers get a physical CD and DVD.
It's the trade-off he's willing to make to get the word out about "Since 1972," and to keep his music career moving along while he resets his priorities to focus on the 8- and 2 1/2 - year-old sons and 2 1/2 -month-old daughter he's raising with his girlfriend.
To that end, Freese recently quit the post he's held since 2005 as the drummer for Nine Inch Nails. "I already miss being in Nine Inch Nails," he said. "But every time I mention it, my girlfriend reminds me that I'd be much more bummed if I were calling her from the road while I was on tour in Singapore and missing my family. And she's right."
Scaling back the amount of time he's away from home also allowed him to finish songs that had been in various stages of completion since his 2000 debut solo album, "The Notorious One Man Orgy," for which he also handled virtually all the parts.
As for the rollout of the new material, it's an extreme example of the entrepreneurial spirit that's flowering in the midst of the record industry's economic woes.
"I'm smart enough to know that it's pretty ridiculous to think anyone's going to buy the most expensive ones, but at the same time I would love nothing more than to get to deliver on them," he said, flashing a still-boyish smile. "Realistically, I'm not nearly famous enough to where it'd become a problem. Trent [Reznor of Nine Inch Nails] couldn't do it; the Chili Peppers couldn't do it -- they'd have to make 7,000 phone calls the first day."

Dimitri Kozyrev's paintings are captivating, to say the least. His color precision from plane to line and surface to sky balances the ephemerally abstract beautifully with a hardened environment. This compositional fracturing feels like ice cracking on the pond, disrupting the reflection or illusion of us and our structures, before we crash into a new reality.
This "crash" echoes of Constructivism or Futurism, with deep contemporary critique on not just the disruption of landscape during wartime, but maybe even more so, the distortion of self, identity, and technology in relation to art and activism as these terms relate to the avant-garde, painting, and intention in today's milieu.
On this note, Kozyrev elaborates:
"I have titled this body of work 'Lost Edge.' I use the word 'edge' because I draw a comparison between the notion of the avant-garde in war and the art world. In the early 20th Century, the avant-garde was at the height of its importance in both realms. Now, however, I maintain that just as the concept of the military avant-garde has been "lost," because of changes in methods of warfare, the avant-garde in the contemporary art world, has also lost its edge.
"The source material for this body of work is images of ruins of the once mighty fortifications of the Mannerhiem Line, built to protect Finland from the advances of the Soviet military avant-garde. Finland's attempt was valiant and not in vain; this war and the lives that were lost in 1939 are largely forgotten. The fortification lie in ruins, and nature is slowly reclaiming them. Similarly, the 'cutting edge' of the contemporary art world seems to have become blunted. Viewers of the avant-garde work of many visionary artists of the early 20th Century were shocked, challenged and inspired by The Malevich's 'Black Square' and 'Fountain' of Marcel Duchamp. Because of changes in society, like changes in warfare, it has become difficult for today's contemporary artist to generate the same level of response without resorting to vulgarity."

7 Simple Natural Cold Soothers and Cures
This time of year is filled with the sniffles and the sneezes. My boys have been coughing and hacking for the past couple months. It seems that as soon as one gets well, the cold has moved on to the next one. Pretty soon the whole family has had a cold for a month. If at all possible, I like to treat my family's colds with natural methods. Here are a few natural remedies I have found to help soothe and cure those nasty winter colds.
Gargle with salt water – Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in a cup of water. Gargle with this four times a day. This helps to moisten your mouth and temporarily relieves a sore throat.
Drink hot beverages – The heat and steam from hot beverages helps to soothe not only sore throats, but also nasal passages too.
Take a hot shower – Take an extra-long, hot and steamy shower. This will moisturize your nasal passages and also help you to relax.
Take a nap – Rest is the best thing for you any time your immune system is in overdrive. Not only does rest help you to recover faster, but there is less time for your symptoms to pester you, if you're sleeping.
Eat something with garlic – Garlic is thought to boost your immune system and help fight viruses.
Drink plenty of orange juice – The vitamin C in orange juice is just what the doctor ordered when it comes to fighting colds because it too is an immune system booster.
Suck on a zinc lozenge – Zinc, when taken over the first few days of a cold, can help shorten its severity.

The Mystery Man who Buys Land for the Gandhi Family : Where is The Mystery Man NOW?
In a story in April this year, the Wall Street Journal described him as 'the mystery man who buys land for the Gandhi family'. With a change in Government at both the Centre and in Haryana, it would be interesting to know where that 'elusive' mystery man is these days…find out for yourself whether the April story, reproduced below, contains any clues…
Who is Mahesh Nagar? It depends who you ask. Mr. Nagar's name appears on land office documents as the facilitator for land deals forIndia's politically powerful Gandhi family. Over four years, from 2009 to 2012, Mr. Nagar bought and sold tracts of land in Rajasthan on behalf of Robert Vadra, the 44-year-old husband of Priyanka Gandhi, whose brother, Rahul Gandhi, is spearheading the Congress party's re-election efforts in national parliamentary elections.
Mr. Nagar has also bought land in Haryana on behalf of Mr. Gandhi in 2008. In Rajasthan, the brokers who sold land to Mr. Nagar say they don't have his contact information. In his home State of Haryana, next door to Delhi, officials at the land revenue office where he facilitated the purchase of land for Mr. Gandhi say they don't have any information on Mr. Nagar either. Even his own brother, reached by phone, professes ignorance about where he is.
"Sorry, I don't know his whereabouts," said the brother, Lalit Nagar, a Congress party politician who ran and lost a bid for a seat in the HaryanaState legislature in 2009 in Faridabad, a city near New Delhi. But when a reporter showed up in Faridabad that same day, it was hard to find anyone who didn't know Mahesh Nagar — and where to find him. A giant campaign poster in a marketplace near a local hospital featured Mr. Nagar, along with his brother, Lalit Nagar, and the leaders of the Congress party nationally — Mr. Gandhi and his mother, Congress party President Sonia Gandhi.
In an air-conditioned office in the same marketplace, Mr. Nagar, wearing a white shirt, lounged in a big leather chair, the walls decorated with pictures of Mr. Gandhi, Mrs. Gandhi and Mr. Vadra's wife, Priyanka Gandhi.
Mr. Nagar and his brother live less than a kilometer away in a sprawling bungalow that bears both of their names on a sign out front. Asked why he's so elusive, Mr. Nagar smiles and asks, "Are you the reporter who called my brother this morning? I was there only when he was speaking to you." In the interview with the Wall Street Journal, he tried to distance himself from the Gandhi family, saying he's never met them. "Yes, I got some of the land registered for them," he says. "But I don't know the Gandhi family directly."
Land records show Mr. Nagar bought 6.4 acres of land for Mr. Gandhi in Haryana's Hassanpur village in 2008. Then, in 2009, Mr. Nagar began showing up in the northwestern part of Rajasthan, buying nearly 2,000 acres of barren land on behalf of seven of Mr. Vadra's companies over the next three years. He paid about 64,000,000 rupees, or about $1 million, for the land, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of a summary of Mr. Vadra's land deals that Kolayat land officials put together for a state investigation into his holdings. Asked to explain Mr. Vadra's land dealings, a spokesman said in an email that Mr. Vadra was a private citizen who had acquired real estate but "obtained no favor or benefit from anyone." He had complied with the law and was unfairly being "subjected to a campaign to malign him for political reasons."
In 2010 and 2011, the central and Rajasthan Governments adopted tax incentives for the solar industry, which drew companies to the Bikaner area, which has among the highest irradiation levels in India. Land prices soared. Mr. Nagar, who bought Mr. Vadra's land at an average price of 33,000 rupees, or $550, an acre, began selling the land less than three years later at more than six times that price, or an average per acre price of 220,000 rupees, about $3,700, according to the Journal's review of the Kolayat land district office summary. Local brokers and a local land official recall Mr. Nagar showing up frequently over the years in a black SUV, parking all day outside the Kolayat land office, and making deals in his vehicle. Brokers say they would enter the SUV to sign documents selling the land to Mr. Vadra's companies. Mr. Nagar would hand them payments in cash, the brokers say.
Asked how he came to be buying land for Gandhi family members, Mr. Nagar said somebody from Gurgaon, a growing suburb of Delhi, asked him to buy the land and gave him letters of authority to facilitate the land deals. He declined to identify the person. Mr. Nagar said his buying for the Gandhi family is "all over now," and that he's no longer making purchases or sales for either Mr. Vadra or Mr. Gandhi. He said he doesn't recall using a black SUV or paying in cash for land. Mr. Nagar declined to say what car he used in Rajasthan or how he did pay for the land. He said he got no special treatment by the land office.
Despite the Gandhi family photographs on the walls and poster of himself with Congress Party leadership outside his office, Mr. Nagar said in the interview that he didn't have any political affiliation. He said he was a farmer growing flowers, wheat and paddy, showing a reporter a business card bearing his name and academic credentials—a master's degree in the arts and a law degree. However, the card was also imprinted with the symbol of the Congress Party, a hand.
