Tribute to a 'boxing genius'
IT was with great sadness that I attended the funeral of Hughie Docherty, former boxing coach with Kirkintilloch Amateur Boxing Club and great friend.
I first met Hughie when I was 14 at a boxing tournament in Edinburgh, when I went to watch a friend compete.
Following that I joined the Kirky boxing club and was immediately impressed by Hughie's enthusiasm, knowledge and ability to motivate people.
Throughout my long boxing career which extended to 19 years, including many shows both locally, nationally and internationally, Hughie coached, mentored and motivated me to exceed my expectations of how my boxing career would pan out.
Hughie showed total dedication to me and the many other young boxers who attended the boxing club throughout the years.
This has been continued by his son Hugh and present coach James Carr.
Hughie was a very modest man and very proud of the success of all of his boxers at all levels, I feel honoured and privileged to have trained under his tutelage and consider myself very lucky to have known him and his family for so long.
Hughie has had a huge impact on my life and that of many others within the community who attended the boxing club.
He had the motivational skills of Martin Luther King and patience of Gandhi and in my eyes was boxing genius.

Accident waiting to happen
THE article featured in last week's Herald (January 11) regarding the near miss to a local taxi driver from the old Co-op building, can hardly be described as a freak accident.
It was an accident waiting to happen!
It's pretty obvious this is an unstable building located right in the centre of a busy high street just waiting to cause severe injury, if not a fatality on the next unsuspecting individual(s) who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, never mind the storms.
Reading the response from East Dunbartonshire Council, I would say this is unacceptable to say the least, not to mention what the owners of this building have reported to the Herald.
At the end of the day, it was only through good luck this taxi driver was not injured or killed by the heavy cast-iron drain pipe crashing through the car windscreen.
One has to ask, had this "freak" accident caused a death(s) would the demolition squads have arrived the very next day to blitz this building?
I believe the Health and Safety Executive would have demanded its demolition.
Phil Webb,
Alexandra Street,
Amused by councillors' joint letter
IT was with some amusement that I read the joint letter (Kirkintilloch Herald January 4, 2012) from the three Bishopbriggs Labour councillors on East Dunbartonshire Council's ruling administration group.
EDC's administration group is made up of a coalition of Labour and Tory councillors whose Conservative deputy leader has decided to absent himself from the planning board's consideration of the Bishopbriggs Town Centre Masterplan (Kirkintilloch Herald, December 28, 2011).
In their desperation to distance themselves publicly from their deputy leader's decision, while not mentioning his name for fear of association, the Labour councillors have constructed a letter unintelligible to all but the few who are aware of the issues.
But more importantly, there are several very worrying aspects to deputy council leader Billy Hendry's stated intention to opt out of the biggest civic decision in Bishopbriggs for a generation.
What does it say about the effectiveness of the Labour/Conservative administration in East Dunbartonshire Council when their deputy leader is allowed to go AWOL for what surely must be personal electoral reasons?
Apart from this post, Councillor Hendry is also the convener of the development and infrastructure committee, which makes him the most powerful and influential councillor in development terms in East Dunbartonshire.
It is his remit and responsibility to represent the best interests of the community in strategic development matters.
While no doubt he can choose to absent himself from these important deliberations, the question remains: "who is minding the shop?"
And if he is not prepared to carry out his duties as convener of development and infrastructure should he still hold that post?
Councillor Ian Mackay,
SNP group leader,
East Dunbartonshire Council.
Wind damage
I WRITE regarding the letter in last week's Herald (January 11) complaining about bins being emptied on Tuesday January 3.
The damage was already done before the binmen arrived.
I don't know where the writer lives, but we were woken at 7am that morning by the sound of the contents of bins and recycling boxes being strewn around the street by the gales, and the sight of broken glass, cans and paper everywhere throughout the surrounding gardens.
We weigh the lid of our recycling box down with a brick, but this was no match for the force of the wind that day, and we returned our bins to the back of our house until the bin lorry appeared about an hour later, by which time several of our neighbours' bins and boxes had completely disappeared around the corner and were piled up against the fence at the perimeter of a local primary school.
At least the binmen were attempting to get rid of as much rubbish as they could, working in quite appalling conditions where they must have been at risk of being blown off their feet on several occasions.
Where the correspondent thinks might have been a secure place to leave the empty bins defies belief.
Short of taking them indoors, there really was no such option.
Meg Macpherson,
Town hall support
WE in the Town Hall Preservation Trust are grateful for the many letters of support in the Kirky Herald and indeed to the Herald too, for the generous use of space in arguing our case.
Perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised at the lack of real support from the council which, after all, started with Strathkelvin and has been made worse by East Dunbarton council.
In all these years, it must be hard, nay probably impossible, to recall or record a time when a local member, any local member, actually raised the subject in committee or council to strongly plead the town hall's case for retention and preservation.
Despite months of trying to discuss or negotiate the subject we have been constantly put off with almost exactly the words used by the council's spokesperson, Grace Irvine, who at least ''acknowledges comments'' and says ''the situation remains the same and the council is still considering the updated condition survey report received in December'' . . . which really means there was a (much) earlier report which was shelved because it scared the living daylights out of them; and which indicates the council's outrageous responsibility for letting the building become what it is now.
What is likely to happen is this not so new ''town centre master plan'' will suggest total commercialisation of the town centre and the demolition of the town hall for it to be replaced by a two-penny-halfpenny community thing so that ALL the council members and their overbearing officials might say ''our conscience is clear''.
Clear my foot, and Kirky folks would do well to remember the town hall's fate in May's local election and treat those standing again as they dealt with the town hall.
Charles Gray,
Moray Place,
Praise for EDC roads department
(Re Nitty Gritty Herald letters, January 11).
I read this letter in disbelief as I live on Auchinairn Road and was pleasantly surprised to find not only the road cleared and gritted, but a footpath cleared on the Bishopbriggs side of the main road before 9am in the morning.
I took my car out and noted on my journey that one pavement right down Woodhill Road and along Park Crescent into Park Road had been gritted along with the road.
Credit is due to Bishopbriggs roads department for their hard work as I also note that the Glasgow side of the pavements are never cleared.
Details supplied
Flooding outrage
NOW that the ice has cleared from our footpaths and roads in the Greens area and flooded into the kids' play area, where the seagulls and the odd swan come to swim, I wonder if council officials would like to take a boat trip, or maybe they could give us a water pump like Bishopbriggs.
It must be quite a sight from the councillors' lounge in Tom Johnston House to see Loch Parkburn.
In case they don't know where that is, it is just at the back of the council head quarters in Kirkintilloch.
This flooding has been happening for three plus months.
I hope they send out environmental services to decontaminate the play area before they let children play there.
The Loaning walkway, or assault course as people are calling it, is also a disgrace.
Surely the money saved from cleaning and brushing the football pitch and play area should be enough to do this task - I hope.
T. Cairney,
Parkburn Avenue.
Thank you
MAY I say a big thank you to the S5 and S6 St Ninian's High School pupils for inviting us to the senior citizens lunch on December 15, 2011.
The lunch was attended by 64 seniors from the surrounding districts and churches.
We were served with refreshments followed by a two-course hot meal
The pupils and deputy head teacher then entertained us with a variation of classical music played on the piano. The school choir sang Christmas carols and we all joined in.
The afternoon continued with six games of bingo, with first class prizes.
The day was topped off with a monetary gift to all the senior citizens.
The lunch is held every year and is organised by deputy head Gerry Maxwell.
The S5 and S6 pupils fundraise to help finance the event.The school and parents should be very proud of the pupils. They were well presented, very mannerly, cheerful and courteous the whole afternoon.
A big thank you to you all form 64 very grateful senior citizens.
Kirky Pensioner
Hospital plea
AS a regular reader of your columns I have been following with interest the continuing story concerning the lack of chemotherapy services at the new ambulatory care and diagnostic centre (ACAD) at Stobhill. The geographical areas of Glasgow south, served by the Victoria Infirmary ACAD, and Glasgow north/north east, served by the Stobhill ACAD, are broadly comparable, as are the respective populations within these areas.
Given those facts, surely it is entirely justifiable for the question to be put to NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde as to why there are no chemotherapy services available at the Stobhill ACAD compared to the Victoria ACAD and for them to be required to provide a coherent and full explanation as to how and why that policy decision was made.
I look forward to hearing from Mr Calderwood, Chief Executive of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, giving the reasons for the current unsatisfactory situation, which to many onlookers, I have to say, appears inexplicable.
Ian W. Thomson,
Town centre
I AM becoming both bemused and confused by the continuing debate around the re-development of Bishopbriggs town centre.
It is important to remember professional planners are employed by councils to draw up area plans providing a mix of developments. These are approved both by local councillors and the Scottish Government. Planning proposals are supposed to be consistent with approved plans.
Morrisons, as I understand it, have both purchased the high school site and have outline planning permission to build a new superstore – presumably consistent with the Local Plan. They are not going to substitute that for a "rain forest" or any other bizarre development. They have suggested a Community Hub.
Commendable, but who is going to finance and run it long term? My major concern is that access via South Crosshill Road is a non-starter. It is also important to remember that Derwent own the town centre site and will want an income to replace the rent they lose when Morrisons move out.
We have three groups pontificating on this matter – namely Bishopbriggs Community Council, Community Champions and soon-to-be Community Champions 2 who wish to go back to square one and employ an architect to redesign I know not what.
Elected members are also jumping in. Jo Swinson, my Lib Dem MP, will join whatever group is "flavour of the month".
Anne McNair (SNP), one of my local councillors, wants a Westerhill Hub for car parking. Fine, but where do they go after the cars are parked? My sympathies here are with fellow residents who live near the railway station and are blitzed with commuter cars during the working week.
Another of my local councillors Una Walker has joined with her fellow Bishopbriggs Labour councillors to remind us of their statutory role as members of the planning board. They are forbidden to take a decision in advance but can listen to representations.
The "elephant in the room" is my third local councillor Billy Hendry (Conservative), ostensibly a member of the same planning board, but who appears to be jumping ship and joining Community Champions 2.
Lastly there is my invisible MSP, Fiona Mcleod (SNP), who appears to have offered nothing through your pages. Perhaps she is hoping for an appeal to the Scottish Government which saves her having to express any opinions.
I now gather we are having a community walkabout, perhaps followed by a candlelit procession! You could not make this up!

Re: Errors in my posting on Lost Texas McKay family
In reply to:
Lost Texas McKay family
Nowell Didear 8/19/05
I incorrectly listed Robert Murray McKay as the SON of Edwin McKay rather than his BROTHER.Robert Murray McKay was another child of John Noble McKay and Nona McCarley.Tracy Lynn McKay, as stated, is the daughter of Robert Murray McKay and Barbara Ann Miller.
The son of Edwin McKay and Mary Smith is Murray Lance McKay, b. 7 Jun 1953 in Hunt Co TX, and possibly living now in Houston TX (there is a white pages listing for a Murray L. McKay there, but I haven't been able to connect with him).

Hey fellow travellors!
Can anyone recommend an easy way of transportation around from Auckland to Whangarei and region around?
Is it for example easy to travel from Whangerei to Tutukaka by bus or other beach towns?
I looked on a bus company site but it only serves the bigger cities and want to know if local transportation is omni-present in other regions.
Or if renting a car is a better option, which car agencies are good and have low budget prices? (Renting in Auckland).
If people want to share a car in October 2014 I made a request in another topic: http://www.travellerspoint.com/forum.cfm?thread=102905
Hope someone can give advise!

Jeffrey Wasserstrom: A Reformist Chinese Leader? Stop Fooling Yourself
Jeffrey Wasserstrom is the author of China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know, an updated edition of which has just been published by Oxford University Press.For those of us who have tracked Chinese political trends since the late 1970s when Deng Xiaoping came to power, reading the news about China these days can prove strangely disorienting. One week, we'll be struck by a slew of stories, on everything from fast trains to record growth rates, which underscore how different China is than it was when Deng first launched his reforms. The next week, though, we'll be struck just as powerfully by a sense of eerie familiarity. Headline after headline — about the intractability of corruption, the death of a watermelon vendor or a petitioner's desperate attempt to draw attention to this plight by detonating an explosive device at a Beijing airport — seem just like those we came across a few years or even a couple of decades ago.

Lawrence Veiller: Progressive Tenement Reformer and Eugenicist
Liberty and Power
As part of my research on another topic, I happened across some rather provocative correspondence from Lawrence Veiller. After the turn of the century,Veiller was the most significant national leader in the progressive tenement reform. New York's Tenement Law of 1901 was largely his brainchild and became a model of similar legislation nationwide. He often worked closely with such luminaries as Jane Addams, Jacob Riis, and Theodore Roosevelt. Through groups such as the National Housing Association (which he headed) and the National Conference on Planning (in which he served as an officer), Veiller was relentless in pushing for tougher building courts, limits on density, zoning, and other housing regulation. As the correspondence shows, he was also a zealous advocate of sterilization laws. Veiller felt emboldened to act in his own state after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Buck v. Bell (1927 upholding the constitutionality of sterilization laws In 1929, he persuaded the Committee on Criminal Courts of the Charity Organization Society of New York to endorse state legislation "providing for the sexual sterilization of insane, idiotic imbecilic, epileptic and feeble-minded inmates of certain state institutions." As part of this effort he called for a "united front" of social workers to assemble in Albany to press for enactment. Apparently, however, Veiller was never able to persuade the Charity Organize Society as a whole to back a law and it was never enacted. One obstacle was Lawrence Purdy, a fellow official in the COS, who expressed his reluctance to Veiller: "Even if the law were so stringent that it would result in operations on a considerable number of people, the number would still be very small and I should myself have grave doubts concerning a law that was strong enough to be at all effective."

These trucks DO NOT HOLD THEIR VALUE.
Stay away. You won't even be able to

it, but if you want a small truck, buy a
Ford or Chevy. They actually hold their
value better. I paid $16,000.00 for a

Northwest got back to its winning ways on Thursday night at Mississippi Delta, holding the Trojans to 132 yards of total offense and forcing a season-high five turnovers in a 37-0 shutout victory, the Rangers' first since Sept. 17, 2009.
Northwest snapped a two-game losing streak in improving to 4-3 overall and 2-2 in north division play, while host Delta dropped to 0-7 overall and 0-4 in the north. The win for Northwest also marked its sixth consecutive over the Trojans and 12th in the last 14 tries.
After a sluggish start with two interceptions and a punt on its first three drives, Northwest found its rhythm on their final drive of the first quarter and used that momentum to go into the half with four consecutive scoring drives and a 24-0 cushion.
A 12-play, 83-yard drive put Northwest on the scoreboard with 36 seconds left in the first, with Ryan Mossakowski completing 6-of-6 passes on the drive, capped by a 3-yard touchdown strike to Lance Ray.
Northwest increased its lead to 14-0 with 12:33 left in the second, using a short field after the defense forced a three-and-out and going 47 yards on three plays. Backup quarterback Domonique Harris tossed his first touchdown pass of the season, throwing deep to Ray on a 41-yard connection.
Harris came back out the ensuing Ranger drive and again had success, rushing for 28 yards and completing 4-of-5 passes on a 10-play, 78-yard drive that ended with a 3-yard touchdown run by Teshadi Talton. Another lengthy drive for Northwest resulted in a 21-yard Chase Carpenter field goal, giving the Rangers a 24-0 lead at the half.
Despite a slow start, Northwest dominated Delta in the opening 30 minutes, outgaining the Trojans 320-31 and limiting them to just two first downs.
La'Darrick Anderson's second interception of the season on Delta's opening drive of the second half led to another Ranger touchdown, with Mossakowski hooking up with Ray from 22-yards out on the first play after the turnover to give Northwest a 30-0 lead.
Again the Ranger defense came up with a turnover two drives later, as Theodore Jackson stripped Justin Leavy deep in Ranger territory and Dex Herrington recovered the fumble at the Northwest 2-yard line to keep the shutout intact.
Northwest turned that into another touchdown to take a 37-0 lead, putting together its best drive of the season. Al Hentz carried the ball five times on the drive, including a 28-yard touchdown run for his first score of the year, while Mossakowski was again perfect through the air going 5-for-5 for 76 yards.
Interceptions by David Conner and Bakari Trotter in the fourth helped seal the victory for Northwest.
The Rangers ended the night outgaining the Trojans 482-132, including 220-18 on the ground, and picked up 26 first downs to Delta's seven. Northwest was also 9-of-13 on third down conversions, while limiting Delta to 2-of-13.
Hentz and Talton each found the end zone on the ground, rushing for 82 and 72 yards, while Mossakowski finished 14-of-20 for 148 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions and Harris was 9-of-13 for 114 yards and a touchdown. In addition to Ray's three touchdown receptions on four catches for 78 yards, Ricky Hunt had a season-high seven catches for 42 yards.
Defensively, Northwest racked up 11 tackles-for-loss on the night, led by Randolph Williams and Jackson. Conner had a team-high nine tackles to go along with an interception, while both Jackson and Demarius Pegues racked up seven tackles.
Northwest (4-3, 2-2) welcomes Holmes (2-5, 2-2) to campus next Saturday, Oct. 22, for Homecoming.

My Dying Bride - For Lies I Sire review
|My Dying Bride
|For Lies I Sire
|Release date:
|March 2009
01. My Body, A Funeral
02. Fall With Me
03. The Lies I Sire
04. Bring Me Victory
05. Echoes From A Hollow Soul
06. ShadowHaunt
07. Santuario Di Sangue
08. A Chapter In Loathing
09. Death Triumphant
Look, I just cut myself, this violin sounds like a razor blade slicing my arteries. Now let me read some Shakespeare to you. Pain. Suffering. My ex-girlfriend. Religion. Violins as razors again. Crimson red drops of blood meandering like the wine from the Holy Grail. Your ex-girlfriend. Pain. Violins. Shakespeare. Latin references, look how deep I am. Bleeding love. Now look, I'm angry for a moment!!! Speed. I'm angry!!! AAAAA... OK, now, I'm sad again. Depression. Shattered passion. Violins. Pain. Goodbye.
Come on, we all know this is precisely what My Dying Bride does on every single album including the more experimental ones. If this is your kind of thing, For Lies I Sire will be right up your alley, just like all the other albums by this band. It's not my kind of thing though. To me, pseudo-romantic, overwrought whining like this is quite annoying, frankly. Truly depressed people don't broadcast their pathetic stories in 10 albums, don't recite Shakespearean poetry and don't threaten to commit suicide. They just fucking do it. Preferably in an amusing way, such as by jumping from a building on an old lady. Or by running into a mall with dynamite up their ass. Life is just a cruel joke anyway, right? Well, laugh at this, society!
For Lies I Sire is the first My Dying Bride album to feature violins since Like Gods Of The Sun and as a consequence sounds quite similar to that record. In other words, it is slightly faster and more straight-forward than usual, has more crunchy riffs and steers clear of growled vocals. The exception to this is "A Chapter In Loathing", a weird song with blastbeats and strangely screeched vocals, ironically the only enjoyable piece here. The other tracks follow the band's trademark template as described above and they do it... averagely at best. So if you love this band, the album will be a decent one, or perhaps a slightly above average one for you.
The music on For Lies I Sire has some moments but that doesn't take away from the fact that still, after all these years, the best My Dying Bride songs are those that throw their formula out of the window. Which is what I will happily do now with this CD. Hopefully it will hit an old lady right on the head.

Sheep produce wool, which appears on a pallet near the sheep pasture. The wool can be transported to a specific selling point, and sold for profit. In order to get max wool production you only need to feed them grass.
Required Equipment: Tractor, Mower, Telehander or Frontloader or skid steer, Feeding Wagon, Trailer, Car.
- Steps
- Mow the grass and put it in a feeding wagon. [its best to buy a tractor with enough horsepower for both the mower and the feeding wagon]
- Dump the grass into the trough.
- With a telehander or frontloader, pick up the wool when it reaches 100%.
- Unload the wool pallet into a trailer or a car with a bed inside.
- Take it to the Woolery on the map. It will sell itself automatically.

Breath Easy: Keeping Interior Air Clean
With the amount of allergens in the air, we've got our HEPA air purifiers operating both at home and at work. Air quality is expected to remain "unhealthy" throughout the week according to the government's Air Quality Index, so it's recommended you stay indoors, since the tiny particles can lodge deep into the lungs, causing serious irritation, mucous build-up and breathing problems.
If you or someone in your household has health problems or is environmentally sensitive, now might be a good time to research air purification systems. You can also operate your air conditioners, but be sure to operate it with the fresh air intake closed, perhaps investing in a 3M Filtrete Ultra Allergen Filter, an AC/furnace filter that will block out 90% of dust, smoke and smog particles. Below are four of the recommended choices from ConsumerSearch (plus our own recommendation from personal use)...
IQAir HealthPro ($695.00): rated the best air purifier overall, and it's expensive price reflects its serious nature. Hong Kong Hospital Authority use these during the SARS outbreak, so you know these machines mean business. The industrial shaped machine can scrub a 1,000 sq. ft. room and uses a HyperHEPA filter, and comes with a five-year warranty.
Alen A350($399): this smaller, slimmer wall mountable unit purifies air up to 400 sq. ft., is Energy Star compliant and come with an industry best life time warranty program. A true HEPA filter and a carbon filter removes particles and odours.
Whirlpool Whispure AP51030S($299): for rooms 510 square feet or less in size with a 330 Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR is the amount of clean air measured in cube feet per minute that an air cleaner delivers). Note that replacement filters for this unit are on the pricier side and the unit only comes with a one year warranty.
Honeywell Enviracaire 50250($182.25): this compact unit is rated at 250 CADR, and can serve rooms of 374 sq. ft. or less.
We personally use and like the Honeywell HFD-130 Germicidal Tower . The $160 unit just costs $5/month to operate on its highest setting, and works best in smaller rooms. We like the 12-hour programmable timer IFD ((intense field dielectric) filter indicator light reminds us when to give the filters a vacuum and wash (there's no filter to replace; you just need to water rinse the filter 4 times per year).

Indonesia's reputation as a peace-loving nation has come under scrutiny after three days of communal conflict in South Lampung, which claimed 14 lives and displaced hundreds more.The recent clash has endangered notions of religious harmony that the government has been promoting worldwide. It also offers validation of a recent survey said that there has been a growing intolerance of people of different faiths in Indonesia.
This was not the first dispute between local residents of the predominantly Muslim village of Agom and Balinese Hindus relocated to neighbouring Balinuraga village under a government transmigration programme. However, this dispute was the most serious in terms of damage done, the cost in human lives and the scope of subsequent humanitarian problems.
Although the authorities have restored order and brokered a truce between the villages, there is no guarantee that the violence will not recur in the future. The most recent clash came only nine months after the leaders signed a previous peace pact.
What happened in Lampung - a major destination of internal resettlement programmes since the 19th century, when the nation was colonised by the Netherlands - evokes the continued outbreaks of ethnic violence between indigenous Dayak people of central Kalimantan and people transmigrated from Madura, and the recurring low-level violence between people transmigrated from Java to Papua and the indigenous residents of that province.
Indonesia's transmigration programme has been aimed at reducing the demographic burden of Java and other densely populated regions. It bears the noble goal of developing and enriching outlying regions and their peoples. But in some, if not many, cases, resettlement has led to resentment, as has happened in South Lampung.
As Agrarian Reform Consortium (KPA) executive Iwan Nurdin has said, the government's resettlement programme tends to ignore the interests and welfare of local residents. Infrastructure, land and facilities, as well as access to education and healthcare, are dedicated to migrants - a policy which very much makes sense, as people need incentives to join the programme.
Of course, the special treatment offered to migrants helps them to dominate the local economy and perhaps the local politics. It is therefore only a matter of time before social envy explodes into massive acts of violence. It may only take an argument over a trivial issue to trigger a clash, as happened in South Lampung, when two local women were assaulted.
A feeling of being sidelined has apparently been brewing among the indigenous residents of Papua, where the socio-economic gap between migrants and native people has been huge. A failure to give the province's indigenous people a fair share of Papua's natural resources has been the root cause of separatism there.
The rage in Lampung, as well as similar ethnic conflicts in the past, is something that the government must remember when dealing with local people and the fallout from the resettlement programme.
Now that the government has launched its Master Plan for the Expansion and Acceleration of Indonesian Economic Growth (MP3I), hundreds of thousands - and perhaps millions - will have to be resettled to fill jobs in new growth centres across the country. If not handled with care, the project risks alienating and impoverishing local residents, which is counter to the goals of the programme.
Sending police and troops to conflict areas like South Lampung will definitely keep the peace, but for how long? The longer they stay the more insecurity increases.
To sustain peace we need to promote mutual respect and tolerance, which will mean nothing without socio-economic justice.

Sat Kriya is a technique from Kundalini yoga that I discovered today.
While I have searched enough though, what I don't understand is its fully effects. It reliefes from negative energy, anxiety etc. It relaxes the nervous system of body... But since it's a part of Kundalini yoga, does this technique awakes Kundalini quickly in an effective degree? Through this technique, how will I understand my Kundalini is awakening?
Thank you everyone for your answers and help.

Top U.S. military officer gets earful from Afghans
(Reuters) - From the litany of requests made to Mike Mullen on Tuesday
-- from asphalt for roads to fertilizer for fields -- one might think he
was a visiting aid worker, not the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of
"We want educational centres ... There is no good hospital ... We want
all these roads to be paved," a man with a long black beard told Mullen,
the top U.S. military officer, at a "shura," or tribal meeting in the
heart of Afghanistan's Helmand province.
Mullen came to Marjah to see for himself what the Pentagon cautiously
views as the first successful test of President Barack Obama's strategy
for reversing Taliban momentum after more than eight years of war.
Forty days after U.S. Marines moved in to oust the Taliban from Marjah,
U.S. and Afghan commanders told Mullen they controlled the area and were
making progress standing up a functioning Afghan local government and
providing basic services.
But as the shura showed, while security may have improved, expectations
in the town are high, and it is unclear how long residents will be
willing to wait for the Americans and their Afghan allies to improve
their living conditions.
Though the insurgents took heavy casualties, U.S. and Afghan officials
acknowledge the Taliban still have a presence, mainly at night, and
reporters were asked not to identify Afghan villagers at the shura with
Mullen because of concern they could be targeted later.
Mullen said he was encouraged by what he heard, despite what officials
described as serious problems training a local police force. Locals
don't trust them, Mullen was told.
"Please cooperate with us," the Afghan man with the black beard told
Mullen at the end of his wish list. "The budget that we need, please
provide that. We're looking forward to seeing the results."
In addition to paved roads, schools, a hospital and cold-storage
facilities to preserve local tomatoes, some villagers complained about
Afghan plans to halt the cultivation of opium poppies. They said they
feared losing income.
"I don't have other means," one tribal elder said.
"People here are poor," another added.
"Next year nobody should cultivate poppy. If anybody tries to plant and
cultivate poppy, that means he is a criminal and he will face judgment
and he will go to jail," Helmand governor Gulab Mangal told the
Mangal said eliminating poppies would open the door to development in
the impoverished province.
Mullen, whose helicopter landed in Marjah in a small wheat field
surrounded by larger poppy crops nearing harvest time, said the
villagers were "eager to make their desires known" but complaints were
"a very critical part of the process."
Propped up on pillows, atop rugs, Mullen's response sounded like a line
from the counter-insurgency handbook.
"I fully understand your concerns. They clearly focus on what are very
common needs. And I don't come here today with any magic formula,"
Mullen said.
"God willing, we'll be able to deliver this capability and service as
soon as possible. If it could be done overnight, we'd do that. It's
going to take some time," he added.
The local governor was more optimistic, promising not only to pave roads
and get seeds to farmers, but to build hospitals, schools and a
university that will train doctors, engineers and religious leaders.
"I have programs for everything," the governor said.

Hi all, 8-) if replying please remove XMLP Comments list from the CC. Last Call issue #231 started in [1] by asking what was the difference between a struct and an array when the array element doesn't have any of the "arraySize" and "itemType" attributes. The truth is, it may be impossible to distinguish between an array and a struct in this case. The issue then moved to asking whether all the array member EII names have to be the same - that's currently the issue #231. In [2] I replied to the person who originally asked (Kevin Johnsrude) that his issue may not in fact matter because we expect that the deserializer will have the data structure available so by following it the actual kind of the compound type will be apparent. Implementing the array encoding in Systinet WASP we have found that this is very true, that the data structure is indeed necessary to deserialize a serialized graph containing compound types. I feel therefore that as long as the data structure must be present when deserializing SOAP Encoding data, a language for capturing such data structure must be provided along with SOAP Encoding specification. The possible solutions I can see are two: 1) remove the need for data structure when deserializing data - marking structs and arrays in an unambiguous way in the serialized instance (I'll elaborate on this below); 2) or provide a language that represents SOAP Encoding schemata. The second solution would represent a significant body of work and it cannot be done without reissuing a Last Call for comments later. The first solution has little impact and should not necessitate reissuing LC. Possible implementations of marking of different kinds of compound types: a) mandating that the arraySize attribute be present on array instances (making the default value explicit usually) b) adding an attribute on compounds that would mark their kind. The first possible implementation is very similar to SOAP 1.1's solution and it is very simple to implement, but it doesn't handle the other corner cases with an empty struct vs. a primitive node; or a generic vs. a struct. The second possible implementation makes SOAP Encoding instances fully self-descriptive.

What is it?
This is a binary clock display (BCD) clock that I built of my own design. It is similar to one my sister bought for me as Christmas gift a couple years ago from ThinkGeek. However, instead of some boring little LEDs, this clock employs much cooler blue-phosphor neon lamps and has the full 6 x 4 display array instead of leaving out the four extra lights you need just to build a BCD clock. I designed all of the electronics (based on ATmega328 MCU) and wrote all of the software myself (C#). It currently has 10 different animations in addition to the initial turn-on animation, but I am hoping to add some more in the future.
The case I built for this clock ended up being one of my favorites. The design is very simple, and was straightforward to fabricate. I chose to make the front-plate out of black G10, which I think looks really nice. The G10 is very rigid, so I only needed an 1/8" thick piece to get the structural strength needed. The lamps are held by black rubber grommets. Since these small neon-lamps do occasionally fail, the mounting method had to be non-permanent. I drilled the holes significantly undersized to make for a very tight grip on the lamps. In fact, you have to use a few drops of isopropyl alcohol as a lubricant to either insert or remove the lamps. The sides of the case are aluminum, and as always, all surfaces are machined to make it look as "technical" as possible. In keeping with my tradition of displaying the electronics, I made the back plate out of clear acrylic. I probably could have used something thinner, but I had a bunch of 1/4" thick material on hand, so I just used that. All in all the case came together very well, and made for a surprisingly compact unit.
How does it work?
As I mentioned, I did all of the design work for this project. I knew it would be based around an ATmega328 and the project would be developed with an Arduino. I didn't want to multiplex the neon-lamps since they are already a bit dim to begin with, so an array of shift registers would allow me to directly control each of the 24 lamps. To drive the lamps I needed a high-voltage supply and I decided to use a NeonNixie supply instead of using transformers and/or multipliers. Although it keeps the design more simple, the NeonNixie supply introduces quite a bit of electrical noise which made for some problems later on that I had to be solved with some software. I was determined to reinvent the wheel on this project, and avoided using any of the "Clock" Arduino libraries and instead wrote all of the time handling software from scratch. In the future I'll probably use the libraries...

The hardware is pretty straightforward. The ATmega328 receives a 60Hz clock signal and after figuring the current time, sends out the display information to a 24-bit shift register (three discrete 8-bit shift registers). The lamps themselves are switched using trusty MPSA42 NPN transistors. There are only two switches to set the clock, so each one has their own dedicated pin on the ATmega. I splurged on a complete crystal resonator so I didn't have to hook-up discrete capacitors for the crystal.
Click on image to see full size schematics
The power supply for this clock is about as straightforward as it gets. The power comes into the case as 16VAC from a wall-wart. I chose an AC wall-wart so that you get the safety of mains isolation but you still have access to the 60Hz timing signal which the power company does a lovely job of regulating. The AC is rectified in a diode bridge then filtered. The raw DC voltage (~24VDC) is supplied to the NeonNixie HV supply and also to an LM7805 +5VDC voltage regulator. Since the raw DC voltage is nearly 20 volts above the 5 volts needed for the logic, I use 220 Ohm, 5 Watt resistor in series with the voltage regulator to keep from overheating the regulator. Finally, to provide power to the ATmega in the event of a power failure, there is a 1F super-capacitor that can power the ATmega for at least six hours.

Generating the clock signal proved to be trickier than I might have guessed. I wanted something super simple to keep the board space and part count way down. I found a circuit similar to what I ended up using that essentially converts a sine-wave to a square wave. The thing that really attracted me to this design was the isolation from the AC input so that I could leave the AC floating on the diode bridge. The problem is that this doesn't actually generate a square-wave. What it really generates is more like a sloppy trapezoidal-wave. The ATmega is looking for a falling edge, but the edge of waveform falls so slowly that the interrupt is often triggered more than once per edge, which obviously screws up the timing (makes the clock run fast). It might have been OK, but with the addition of switching noise from the NeonNixie supply, the falling edge is no longer monotonic, which absolutely garauntees that the interrupt will trigger multiple times.
In the preceding oscilloscope trace, you can see the poorly formed square wave, and in particular, can see the slow as molasses fall-time (400us). You can also see the switching noise imposed on the waveform, particularly at the HIGH and LOW values. The solution ended up being a software fix that some kind folks on the Arduino forum helped develop. The idea is to "debounce" the clock-signal interrupt. The first time the interrupt is triggered on the falling edge, the program disables interrupts until the waveform has finished falling and returned back to the HIGH state. It is sort of a jankety fix, but it works, so I'm happy. In the future, I won't be using this design again for generating a 60Hz square wave though!
Once I had the design all worked out and tested, it was on to fabrication. Everything turned out well in the end, but it was a lot of tedious work to get everything onto such a small board. In the photo above you can see the NeonNixie supply on the right and the clock circuit is in the middle.
It never looks as good as having a real PCB made, but using these small perfboards is way, way cheaper, and probably faster since I am never making more than one. I tried using some free layout software, but the software was so poor, it quickly became apparent that it wasn't going to save me any time.
I'm a fan of using single-hole pad perfboard rather than strip board. Instead of cutting copper traces to make the desired layout, I just run "traces" of solder along a line of pads. With a bit of practice it goes pretty fast, but even better, you undo mistakes with a solder pump.
Improvements for the future:

Screen and Digital Printing
Printed words and images are all around us, and are an essential part of business and consumer communications. While traditional lithography is still appropriate for many products, such as newspapers and magazines, screen printing and digital printing techniques are increasingly offering new and more flexible ways to create a higher impact.
Superior Purity for Superior Results
Pre-painted aluminum plays an important role in both digital and screen printing processes because it's light, easy to work with and can be recycled for reduced environmental impact. Its smooth surface, durability and exceptional purity ensure the highest fidelity to the designer's or artist's vision, and its processing flexibility can accommodate all manner of designs.
In short, Novelis pre-painted aluminum sheets deliver the premium touch for a brighter printed product.
Advertising Signs
In the advertising sector, few things matter more than getting your message across with maximum impact. When it comes to signs and billboard advertising, Novelis aluminum signs deliver unparalleled results thanks to decades of innovation and experience.
SIGNICOLOR® aluminum sheeting by Novelis delivers a smooth, high-gloss signage surface that stands out in any context. With a range of surfaces to choose from, plus processing flexibility, Novelis customers have all the options they need to bring their design to life in the most brilliant way, whether digital or screen printing techniques.
Aluminum's smooth surface, light weight and high color consistency make it perfect for:
- Sign boards
- Pylon signs
- Logos
- Stairway advertising
A wide range of colors are available, and Novelis can meet custom application requirements for indoor or outdoor signage, regardless of climate. The sheets arrive with protective film in place on delivery, and they can be processed easily, for perfect edges and a range of flawless corners.
SIGNICOLOR offers the ability to choose from a variety of surfaces and colors.
Quality that Lasts
SIGNICOLOR doesn't just look good; its exceptional quality and durability mean that messaging will always remain clear and bright. At Novelis, we test the surface and substance of all our products to conform to the highest international quality standards. Novelis also coats the reverse side of the sheeting with a protective layer that makes it ideal for processing.
Novelis offers two corrosion-resistant alloys of tension-free aluminum sheeting, including the especially hard-wearing AIMg3 alloy, to simplify reinforcement and reduce substructure costs.
This stability makes it a superior choice to plastic or composite sheeting. It also means you can recycle it completely at the end of the product's life and receive the current market value of the metal.

Ecuador Visas & Containers
Paula Owens, Tampa, FL
This is a recommendation for Sara Chaca and her law firm, Ecuador Visas & Containers, in assisting Expats in obtaining Residency Visas and Cedulas.
Our experience had the potential to become a complete nightmare, and had it not been for Sara, we would have probably gone back to the U.S. with our tails tucked between our legs. To begin with, BEFORE WE HAD MET SARA, we made two trips to Miami to talk to the people at the Ecuador Consulate to find out what we needed to do and then to pick up our visa's prior to leaving the states. The consulate referred us to a women that worked at the Banco Del Austro there in the plaza down from the consulate. She is an Ecuadorian citizen and she translated and notarized all our documents after we had them Apostilled. On our second trip, we picked up the translations.
We took those documents to the Miami consulate and they legalized every document. We opted for the 180 day visas instead of the free 90 day visas as we were thinking it would give us more time in case of any snags in the process. Well, when we arrived in Quito, immigration stamped our passports and we were off to Cuenca, none the wiser. All was going as planned until we went down to the Ministerio to apply for our residency visas. When we got to the desk with our legalized documents in hand, they refused every one of our documents because the notary stamp that the Ecuadorian Consulate's translator/notary used was in English, not Spanish. And, the guy behind the counter made me very angry when he took my original marriage license and waved it in the air saying it was ridiculous. It was over 20 years old (my original) and that it didn't prove that we were still married. They wanted one that was 30 days or less in age. It did not matter that it was certified by the county and Apostille by the state, translated, notarized and legalized by the Ecuador consulate in Miami, they would not accept it here in Cuenca. We were told we were going to have to go back to the states and get a new marriage license. I then told him that if I ordered a new license that it would look exactly like the one he had in his hand and would not prove that we were still married and that he needed to tell me exactly what he wanted to prove we were still married. He got angry and told me we had to leave the Ministerio. We left and I told my husband we had better get an attorney to handle this mess. This struck fear in the both of us as we had read the horror stories about the experiences of others in hiring an attorney and the money it cost them, the long drawn out processes….. So we went on Gringo Tree and started mulling through the recommendations. I called a couple of people from the recommendations and the last one I called was Sara Chaca. I was immediately struck by her kindness and understanding of our situation so we scheduled a meeting. It certainly helped that she spoke enough English that we could communicate effectively with her. So, we started the process. We went to the Migratory Police to obtain our Migratory Movement reports. Remember me mentioning going through immigration in Quito? Well, they stamped our passports T-3. That is for the 90 day visas that are free when you enter the country, not the 180 day visas we paid for in Miami and actually had. Well, that had to be corrected. Sara took us to the notary and got a special power of attorney, flew to Guayaquil and got that mess corrected. She was with us every step of the way. We did not have to go anywhere or do anything that she was not by our sides. And we must have gone to the Ministerio office a minimum of 12 times throughout the process. There were a couple of times that she couldn't be with us but Gabby was there in her place. Gabby speaks very good English and is as sweet and kind as Sara. The both of them have the patience of saints too. Not something I am known for. Each time we went back to the Ministerio, there was a problem to be fixed. I truly believe this was because of the first impression we made and the guy there held a grudge against us for making him angry. I've since learned that I am a guest here in this country and I should act that way and leave my old stress filled habits there in the states as they are not well accepted here. Yes, it was an experience to get our Residency Visas and our Cedulas. If it weren't for Sara, we would not be here. I would recommend her, and have many times already, to anyone that needs help. She is amazing and one of the kindest, most helpful, honest and fair people you could ever want to meet. She could easily triple what she charges and still be well worth the cost. I never felt like I was being taken advantage of by Sara. That is saying a lot because after our first experience at the Ministerio, that experience left me very defensive and guarded. Sara took all the stress out of the rest of the process and I feel like I've made a friend for life in her and the entire office where she works. By the way, they also bring containers of household goods into Ecuador if you need those services too. They also have someone in their office that you can talk to about health insurance and prescription drug discount cards. Her Email is: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Debbie & Roland Beaulieu, Ormond Beach, FL
My wife and I wanted to thank Sara Chaca. Without Sara and her associates we don't believe we could have obtained our Ecuadorian visas and Cedulas. The paper work alone is enough to frazzle most people. Many documents are needed, then they need to be Apostilled, translated and notarized. It is complicated, the paper work needs to be precise. Sara made sure we had all the documents we needed and that they were all complete and accurate. We had previously had a problem with immigration concerning the time we had available to us in Ecuador. Sara was able to straighten this out immediately. Sara was available to us always, either by phone or email. Sara or one of her assistants, Gaby or Mayra went with us and stayed with us during any interviews during this exhausting process.
She is still assisting us in other legal matters, even though we are now living in Bahia de Caraquez, on the coast of Ecuador now. Again, Sara is very dependable whether it is dealing with municipalities or individuals. Whether it involves phone calls, emails or in person, she is there. Either Sara or her assistant Mayra even came to Bahia de Caraquez on the Ecuador coast when we needed them to.
We thank Sara for her knowledge, for being proficient and for her kindness.
Respectfully Yours.
Joe Durr, Annapolis, MD
May this letter serve as reference and recommendation for Ecuador Visas & Sara Chaca
On May 15, 2014, my wife and I moved from the United States to Cuenca, Ecuador. We had visited this country many times before and the visit prior to our May move we tried to obtain our visas on our own. It is possible to do this on your own. However, if you're not used to the customs, if you are not fluent in Spanish and if you do not have all the time in the world you may find out that you have hit many brick walls in achieving your goal. Prior to our move in May of 2014, we contacted Sara and her team of bilingual professionals. Upfront she made it very clear as to what documents would be needed to submit to the Ecuadorian Immigration Department to obtain our retirement visas. I would like to explain the factors why you should contract the services of Sara and her team:
They understand the process of Ecuador Immigration.
They explain your options as to the various visa that would apply to your situation.
They walk you through the US documents required for obtaining your visa.
They verify up front the process and if your documents are all in proper order prior to your leaving the US.
When you arrive in Ecuador they make you feel welcomed and the working relationship becomes a personal one on one.
They tell you every step of the way where and when to meet at what location.
You never feel alone and after the process is completed you feel like your hand has been held at every step.
Also, they are bilingual which is necessary if you do not speak fluent Spanish.
I would certainly recommend Ecuador Visas, and Sara and her team to represent you for a smooth, pleasant transition in your move to Ecuador.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions: email@example.com
Karen Billings, Edmond, OK
My experience with Sara Chaca and Ecuador Visas has been a very positive one, and naturally the process has been a long one since I chose a property-linked visa. This type visa for using a Real Estate Property Investment Visa is the most complicated and time consuming because of the several different points that paperwork must be handed off to the Registro de Propiedad, in addition to just the Immigration Ministry for a Real Estate Property Investment Visa. Sara walked me through every step of the process, preparing the paperwork thoroughly and super conscientiously and escorting me everywhere I needed to be in the process. Sara is knowledgeable about all the different visa options and walked me through the implications of each decision. On two occasions I had time constraints within the process and Sara moved mountains to meet my deadlines. Everyone in the office is friendly and helpful. What is most remarkable about Sara personally, though, is that she is an outstanding communicator. She responds promptly to every email and query. She reads and listens to every concern and addresses each head on. This is the reason that I chose Sara Chaca and Ecuador Visas in the first place, and it is the reason I highly recommend them.
John & Pamela Stivers, Melbourne, FL
We just wanted to thank you and your staff for the excellent support in obtaining our Ecuadorian Pensioner Visa. Several people advised us that we could do this process on our own. Now that we are done and after experiencing all that is involved, we believe the investment made through your firm was well worth it. Knowing that you and your staff were by our side every step of the way is worth the investment alone. Peace of mind has a value all of its own and it was obvious that we would have been in trouble attempting this process without your support. Thank you again for your outstanding service and we highly recommend you and www.EcuadorVisas.com along with your many additional services. You are invaluable to anyone moving to Ecuador.
Mark & Pat Cabral, Fort Lauderdale, FL
My wife & I recently moved to Cuenca Ecuador. We were in contact with a different company prior to moving here regarding our Visas & Cedulas but we weren't satisfied with the service. Once we moved to Cuenca, we were recommended to use Sara Chaca. She & her entire staff were very professional & helpful in obtaining our Visas & Cedulas. They all made the process very easy. We highly recommend her for any legal services. Sara will stir you in the right direction for all your needs. We look forward to using Sara & her office in the future.
Rich Koolmeyer, Charlotte, NC
Sara, thank you in counseling and obtaining my EC resident visa so quickly. I would highly recommend you and I qualify you and your services as follows:- Very detailed with the information provided
- Very patient in answering all questions in a very prompt way.
- Following up in order to make sure that all is clear before filing and keeping you well informed during all the phases of the process.
- Since the first contact you proved to be friendly making me feel welcome and at home in EC like most Ecuadorians do.Thank you again and rest assured that I'll be using your services again as discussed, even though I am in Quito, because I TRUST you.Best regards.
Steve Mitchell, Antlers, OK
It is my sincere pleasure to recommend Sara Chaca for all of your visa needs. I hired Sara to obtain my residency. My personal situation was rather complicated, but Sara promptly resolved every issue of mine and I now have my Ecuadorian residency and I am so very glad that I chose Sara to represent me in the process. Sara is a superb professional that goes over and above the call of duty, and she also speaks very good English. Thanks so much Sara.
Gordon T. Adams, Grand Marais, WI
I am writing my delightful assessment of Sara Chaca, as per her and her legal services firm having successfully acted on my behalf in the interests of my Ecuadorian divorce as well as my car having been involved in an accident in Ecuador, and of course my Visa and Cedula. She has performed quite admirably for all my concerns, and at very excellent prices for her various legal services as well. Sara has always acted very professionally in every instance I have endeavored with her. I am very fortunate to have her and to have been the grateful recipient of her superb services, and I sincerely thank her from the bottom of my heart.P.S. I would very highly recommend Sara to anyone with a legal problem or desiring a Visa, Cedula or Container
Randy Ray Wilfong, Sarasota, FL
I am from Sarasota Florida and have lived in Cuenca just over a year now. I would like to recommend Sara for any legal matters.
She was a tremendous help in preparing a Last Will and Testament for use in Ecuador. This is important to do if you have assets here since they are not covered by your USA Will or Trust.
She arranges everything and is patient in explaining the details. She is very professional, pleasant and promptly replies to any emails you send her. Sara and her office manager Mayra are both fluent in English.
I will certainly use Sara for any of my future legal needs. It is so nice to find a professional as honest, pleasant and trustworthy as Sara.
Thank you.
Shawn Kadnar, India & United Arab Emirates
This is a recommendation for Sara Chaca and her law firm ECUADOR VISAS & CONTAINERS. I had started doing my research of making Cuenca, Ecuador my home since October of 2013.
In December, through a news letter I happened to come across Sara's email id.
I wrote to her, assuming that, there would be no response.
Was I surprised when I received one immediately? And that put into motion my entire plan.
Over the next 6 weeks they answered each and every one of my queries.
I was even provided with a bulleted list of all the documents required.
Armed with all original documents, I entered Cuenca in March 2014, on a T-III visa and provided the same to Sara.
I was told to expect my visa within 12 weeks.
And so it happened. On July 01, I was informed of my visa having been processed. And by the 3rd week of July I even had my Cedula in my pocket. Bottom line: Sara and her team are very professional in their approach.
Another quality that impressed me was their punctuality.
Sara also makes it a point to have one of her staff (who is bi-lingual) to accompany you to all government offices.
That takes the stress of you, a foreigner in a strange land, away. Here's wishing Sara, her law firm and her team all the best.
And, More Power to You.

Takeovers could provoke unrest in Russia
A bill to nationalize three companies in Russia could trigger a rash of social unrest, a social analyst said.
Andrei Isayev, chairman of the Duma's Labor and Social Policy Committee, proposed nationalizing BaselCement, Evrocement Group and SevZazProm, companies that folded in January in Pikalyovo, Russia, at the cost of 3,800 jobs.Workers protested Tuesday, tying up traffic and shouting,
Work! Work!The Moscow Times reported.
On Wednesday, Isayev submitted a bill to the State Duma that analysts said could provoke more unrest if it is perceived as the government is willing to
throw money at the problem, the Times said.
Laid-off workers in dozens of towns will now block roads and demand that (Prime Minister Vladimir) Putin come over to solve their problems, said Yevgeny Gontmakher, director of the Center for Social Policy at the Institute of Economics.
Political analyst Alexei Mukhin, at the Center for Political Information, said the bill will be
Then (President Dmitry) Medvedev will have to demand that the so-called socially responsible businessmen sell their yachts and to pay wages in order to escape a social catastrophe, he said.

A popular night club that was padlocked by Metro police last week for being a public nuisance will remain closed permanently.
During a hearing on Wednesday, attorneys representing business operator, Paul Eichel, and property owner, Nancy Cook, agreed to terminate the lease effective immediately.
"This is very good news for the businesses and residents around that part of the Murfreesboro Pike corridor," Chief Steve Anderson said. "This club had negatively impacted the safety of its neighboring community for far too long and was a drain on the resources of the Hermitage Precinct."
Police reported the night club located in the 1200 block of Murfreesboro Pike had a persistent pattern of fights, assaults and drug crimes among other law violations.
Last month, three people were injured in a shooting outside the nightclub. At least 50 shots were fired following an altercation between two groups of people inside.

One of the most intriguing mysteries issued in the Falling Skies premiere concerns why the alien 'machines of destruction' – The Mechs – have two arms and legs, resembling humans more than the multi-legged 'Skitters'.
One idea put forward in the episode was that the Skitters created the Mechs with a bipedal design to give them a psychological edge over the humans.
Perhaps, but surely multiple legs would give them more of an advantage on that front? Such a design would be more unfamiliar to humans who – as we've seen – can at least predict the bipedal Mechs' movements. Since the show put the idea forward, it's probably safe to say it was just a suggestion designed to get us thinking.
The logical answer is that the Mechs are bipedal to help them move around in largely human-constructed areas – towns and cities. Again, perhaps. We should also consider that the aliens just think like us and designed their robots accordingly. And perhaps we also think like them. There were already creatures on Earth that resemble the multi-legged Skitters, such as: spiders and octopi.
Looking at it from the other direction, it suddenly opens up the possibility that the Skitters have human-like creatures on their planet. If so, this becomes very interesting.
On a related, but slightly different train of thought, could it be that the aliens/Mechs are somehow linked to 'Earth-humans'. Did the aliens rule Earth prior to humanity? While that may be the case, this wouldn't necessarily explain why the Mechs resemble 'human design'.
My extended theory is that the Skitters and Mechs might not be as united as they appear. The opening two episodes strongly imply that the Skitters give the orders to the Mechs. But what if there's more to it than that? What if either the Mechs or Skitters are themselves under the thumb of the other?
- Could the Skitters be more benign than they seem?
- Are the Mechs actually human-controlled?
- Is there a deeper conspiracy to the alien invasion?
I can't be sure, but one thing is for sure – there's mystery to be had.
Do you have any thoughts or theories on the Skitters/Mechs?

Police searching for shooter after store, several cars struck by bullets
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Police are searching for a suspect who they say fired shots into a Wilmington business and several vehicles last night, just hours after a man was shot a few blocks away.
Police say it happened at the intersection of 14th and Dawson streets around 7 p.m., five hours after a shooting at 15th and Wooster streets sent a man to the hospital.
They say when officers responded to a ShotSpotter alert in the area, they found that the store on the corner, Sam's Superette, was struck by two rounds. Police also found several cars that had also been hit by bullets.
Police say witnesses told them that a person on foot may have been the target of the gunfire. Witnesses also told them they think the suspect's vehicle is a burgundy SUV, possibly a Jeep.
