Re: Movie reviews of some off beat films that I saw recently
This is truly a sordid tale as tales go , but it does offer a glimmer of hope in humanity as it shows to what extent a man can go for the sake of his home and his family and his hearth....
It is officially a copy of 'Metro Manila'---an english film .
Rajkumar Yadav ( the leading actor's real name , though he goes by the name of Rajkumar Rao nowadays ) and his wife are down in the dumps in the worst way possible---financially of course....
So they decide to try their luck to the only place where immigrants come from all over India for their pot of gold---Mumbai , what else...and they travel all the way from their native place in Rajasthan .
The naivety of these simple townsfolk from small places is exposed in Mumbai as they get fooled instantly---they are shown an apartment for rent , where they pay money without any papers being signed . Of course , the people who take money from them disappear and Rajkumar's wife is evicted from that apartment in heartless fashion by it's real owners....this scene is truly heartrending , and my father ( with whom I was watching the movie on TV ) walked out from the living room because he could not bear to see the movie any more....
They are helped by a bar girl , who finds them temporary accomodation . But the couple's future seems to be bleak . And desperation because of shortage of money can lead a person down any path....Rajkumar's wife finds a job as a dance bar girl using the contacts of the bar girl who helped them , or rather she is lured by the bar girl into that path....
The scene in which she meets the bar owner for the first time is another cringeworthy scene---a woman like her who comes from a respectable family is forced to show her body parts for visual examination by the bar owner ; the size of her belly and breasts and buttocks are visually eyed by the bar owner who leeringly approves and then forces her to dance in front of him on a bollywood number . She has to dance in front of drunk men who touch her inappropriately when showering her with cash .
Finally Rajkumar lands a job as a security guard who guards boxes of cash being transported for the rich in vans . He is helped by another guard who teaches him the intricacies of the job . The man also gives him an apartment to live . But obviously there is nothing like a free lunch , and the man has ulterior motives in helping Rajkumar Yadav . In fact , Rajkumar is going to be caught in a web which will ultimately lead to his doom....
So what web is Rajkumar going to be caught in ??
What are the motives of the security guard in helping Rajkumar ??
More importantly , will the couple and their daughter who is accompanying them survive in the big bad world of the big city ??
Watch the movie for the answers....
This is one bleak movie , and I fully understand why my father walked out....
Of course , acting by everybody is good . But the proceedings feel as if they are constantly moving towards impending tragedy....
Does not put you in a good mood , this movie....
Some of the scenes are meant to make you cringe , like the scene where the hero is taken by his security guard friends to a dance bar and he realizes that his wife must be dancing in a bar like this in another part of the city---and he begins to imagine her that way among leering drunkards and goes home frustrated and tries to taunt her about that , only to be slapped by her....
Ultimately the hero manages to triumph in the end , and it is the surprising climax that makes the movie a good movie . But the triumph comes at a terrible price for himself....
This movie has some art house movie features , but I found it hard to say whether it is an art film or commercial ; more art house I think...
But the second half of the movie is more like a thriller and the climax is actionpacked , something that would not disappoint commercial cinema lovers .
Rajkumar Yadav is good as usual , and I am now looking forward to see his films in future . He spoke hindi in rajasthani accent all too well , as if he was a rajasthani .
In the end you walk out with memories of how a good but desperate man went to astonishing lengths to secure a future for his family/children and succeeded....but I didn't have to walk out , for I was in my own home watching the film in HD on big screen TV---The experience of watching was as good as watching in theater....
Verdict---sordid but good .
Re: Movie reviews of some off beat films that I saw recently
Rang Rasiya
Rang rasiya---the two words certainly describe the personality of Raja Ravi Verma ( played by Randeep Hooda in this film ) , the celebrated painter who is justly celebrated for making God accessible to the common man in the 19th century . For Ravi Verma's life was full of colour and passion.....on one hand he was a ladies man , a man who openly had relationships with numerous women in his youth....and on the other hand he was a master artist ; a painter who spent a lifetime painting vignettes from religion and tradition , thus making it easily reachable to the people....
He was born in what would become the state of Kerala in independent India , in a place which at that time was part of the kingdom of Travancore in British India.
Artists have always thrived in the court of Kings , and Ravi was fortunate that the king of Travancore was a great patron of the arts . It was the large hearted king who gave Ravi the title of 'Raja' , which means ruler---making him effectively a potential successor to the throne . And it was under the king's tutelage that Raja Ravi Verma's artistic talents first thrived....
But he was unlucky in the fact that his wife was a woman who totally hated the arts , and he gradually grew estranged from her . Instead he became a rang rasiya---a man who cavorted with lower caste women and had intimate relations with them . Being free from the prejudices about exposing flesh that upper caste women had , these women would pose in daring exposing poses for Ravi's paintings and thus allow him free expression of the arts .
And this experience would be the defining one for Raja Ravi Verma---he would spend a lifetime trying to make religion and God reachable to the common man , as opposed to the elite who had exclusive rights to the Gods till then....
But naturally , reaction from the reactionary elite keepers of tradition would follow suit---much of the film deals with the lawsuit filed against Ravi Verma for daring to paint the Gods who had previously been unpainted , and painting the females among them in such dare bare fashion....
The other main theme of the film is his relation with his muse---a kept woman of a rich old man , named Sugandha ( played by Nandana Sen ) . This time a fallen woman would be his obsession , and it she who poses nude for him in paintings meant exclusively for his private artistic pleasure , thus giving us the nude scenes of the film---something that some members of the audience had shamelessly come for watching , for they got out of the theater after these scenes....
But when hard times fall upon Verma , he is forced to give up these very nude paintings to the person who bails him financially out . And the person remorselessly sells copies of the nudes to lay people in the thousands....
The so called elite keepers of morality and tradition are aghast....
Sugandha is taunted by lecherous men on mean streets about her nude poses---she feels betrayed and is in dispair...
Raja Ravi Verma is summoned to the courtroom as a case of immorality and defamation of hindu culture is launched against him...
The Gods are supposed to be angry at this brazen portrayal of them in Verma's paintings , and a recent epidemic of plague is blamed on him....
So how does Verma deal with the allegations ?? Is he found guilty ??
Watch the film for the answers....
To be honest , I found the early scenes in the film ( of Verma cavorting with several women ) to be corny to say the least---looked liked he was indulging is debauchery to me....
But the director more than counterbalanced these scenes with scenes which brought a lump in the throat---
.....Scenes of a man who sees Verma's painting of Lord Ram for the first time and lies down prostate in prayer for he feels the Lord is actually in front of him....
......Scenes of low caste dalits who are never allowed inside temples visualizing God's image for the first time ever in their lives in Verma's paintings and becoming spellbound chanting his name---finally they got to see the God who they had been never allowed to get close to....this scene is my favourite from the film....
......Scenes of Verma defending his art and his life's work in a emotional speech in court---talking about India's rich tradition of nude art from the Sun temple of Konark to the magnificent sculptures of Khajuraho....
......And above all , the scene of a humiliated Sugandha still standing as bravely as she can before the judge and proclaiming that she posed for the nudes because it was only Verma who could find a goddess within a fallen woman like her and paint her as one....
Yes , it is in Sugandha that Verma finds the true love of his life---but because of her position in life , that love can't completed by marriage....
It is a love hate relationship---Sugandha getting jealous because of Verma getting attention from other women , and in the end blaming him for getting her publicly branded as a slut by not being able to stop publication of her nude paintings....
And it is a relationship that has to end in tragedy---this is art film and not a commercial film for everything to turn all right in the end....
Acting by the lead pair and supporting actors is good , and Nandana Sen looks just divine---like the goddess she poses as...
The people who came searching for titillation in the nude shots left empty handed , for the nude shots were filmed aesthetically and were not vulgar .
Verdict---Good .
Re: Movie reviews of some off beat films that I saw recently
I had watched Rang Rasiya mainly to know about the greatest Indian artist Raja Ravi Verma. Good movie, I enjoyed it.
Re: Movie reviews of some off beat films that I saw recently
Messenger of God
The baba ( religious leader ) of the 21st century !!
The baba who wears outlandishly fashionable clothes , sports reflective goggles over his eyes , goes cycling like an olympian followed by a camera on a mini helicopter....
The baba who dances in rhythm with psychedelic music in rock shows amid flashy multicoloured lighting and laser lights....
The baba who organizes rubaru nights where his followers dance the night away to the beats of modern music...
The baba who does not ask women to stay indoors but instead trains them in martial arts to face the dangers of outdoor life....
The baba who wants the law to recognize the rights of eunuchs and call them transgenders....
The baba who goes into brothels to liberate prostitutes and then marries them to young men in order to rehabilitate them....
The baba who sings like a rock star in concerts where his followers wear trendy clothes....
The only thing that was missing in the rock concert was the alcohol and the drugs....
...For the baba is against alcohol and drugs big time and exclusively forbids it.....
And he organizes programmes where his followers renounce these intoxicants totally....
And it is the renouncing of these intoxicants that angers the drug mafia , which decides to kill him....
And the drug mafia hires a foreign killer who attempts to assassinate the baba....
But the baba is a messenger of almighty god !! and he has divine powers that can thwart those attempts....
Sharp weapons turn into rose petals when confronted with the power of this baba , and poisonous gas evaporates away....
But the drug mafia has another ace up it's sleeve---it's a suicide bomber living in the baba's camp trained to explode and finish off the baba...and the identity of this bomber is unknown....
So who is this suicide bomber ?? Is it the stunningly beautiful and tall blue eyed blonde who has come to film the baba's miracles from a foreign land and has become so mesmerized by the baba that she has become not only an indispensable part of his entourage but also is being called by the baba as his daughter....all the while interrupting my precious sleep with dreams of her heart stopping beauty and luscious red lips and the softness of her smooth white skin and slim body....
And can the suicide bomber succeed in her mission ?? More importantly , does the baba care about that ?? Does a baba who claims to be nothing more than a fakir ( religious beggar ) bother about something as fickle as his own life on earth ?? Watch the movie for the answers....
The movie can be enjoyed only if you utterly suspend your sense of belief , for the baba uses his divine powers to to the most impossible things---like flying his motorcycle in the air , using magic to put electric current on doors to prevent goons from breaking them , fighting hundreds of armed men singlehandedly , and knowing the identity of the suicide bomber from the start !!
And the baba forgives all those try to harm him , not killing a single one of them but trying to win them with love....
So I suspended my own sense of belief and disbelief and saw the film---with happy results....
I discovered that once you suspend your own sense of belief you enter a zone close to nirvana....and you begin to enjoy the unbelievable things that occur in the film ; things that occur only in the realm of illusion and magic.---of the baba doing impossible stunts and unimaginable things....
But hadn't the ordinary Indian fan already discovered this nirvana long before I did....?
How else would I try to reconcile with fans liking Salman Khan's nonsensical antics in film after film and Rajanikanth's superfantastic stunts...?
If fans could like Rajanikanth throwing a knife at a bullet fired at him and splitting the bullet into two and make the film a hit , then why should not I like this film ??
If fans could digest a scene where a bullet fired at Mithun Chakravarty's brain takes away his brain tumour and cures him of it , then why should not I like this film ?? Just because in this case the hero is a baba and we are supposed to scoff at babas ??
At least in this case the baba was loudly and shamelessly proclaiming his love for India flying the national flag in hand , unlike the khans who are busy making films where they make Indian girls fall in love with pakistanis....
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insaan ( I hope I got the name right ) does make an impact with his bravura performance as heart and soul of the film , a performance which gets better and better with every passing frame....
The songs are foot tapping....
Sadly this is not matched by the editing of the film , which is rank sloppy .
Acting and performances by some of the cast are juvenile....
Some of the scenes are nonsensical....
But what caught my attention was the strong emphasis on the issue of rescue of prostitutes trapped in brothels and their remarriage to willing men in order to rehabilitate them ; it was ending the film on a strong emotional pitch---somewhere it tugged to my heart....
Of course , the film is without question made for clearcut self promotion . In that sense it can be called a long advertisement of the Dera Sacha Sauda cult rather than a real film .
But if I like what I saw , what can I do ??
Verdict---I enjoyed the film .
Three stars .

Re: Movie reviews of some off beat films that I saw recently
Whiplash is about the blood sweat toil and tears that go into the making of a creative genius---a great drummer of jazz music . And the movie shows the blood literally flowing in several scenes of the movie ; ditto for the sweat---the hero practices drumming till he is drenched in sweat...and the tears are an integral part of the film , for the hero breaks down like we all do when we try hard yet fail...
19 year old Andrew Nieman ( played by Miles Teller ) is different from others of his age ; while his peers boast about their academic success as evidenced by their school grades , he talks about his achievements in the art of playing drums....While others have more stable family backgrounds , his mother has abandoned him and his father in childhood---maybe that's what makes him different....
His passion for his art is such that he tells his girlfriend to break off with him because she is a distraction which will work to break his concentration and prevent him from reaching the top....
Nieman's father supports him all the way , and he gets enrolled in the Shaffer conservatory of music . And his skills get noticed by the head of the school band Terrence Fletcher ( played by J.K. Simmons ) . But Fletcher has unconventional ways of getting the best out of his students , and surviving his methods is as difficult as reaching the pinnacle of creativity....
.....For Fletcher has perfected the art of abusing and screaming and even throwing an object or two at his pupils to make them try harder . The moment he enters the room , electric tension grips the air....the students are dead silent with their eyes looking firmly downwards ; eye contact with the indomitable Fletcher is out of question .
It is difficult to decide who has acted better---the teacher or the pupil . Miles Teller really plays the drums like a fantastic drum player would do , especially towards the end....he is not just an actor chosen for his good looks , but capable of really playing the drums like a professional....
J K Simmons has formidable screen presence , and that is accentuated by the camera focusing on his face repeatedly . When he doesn't like something any of his pupils is doing ( which is quite often ) , his voice cracks like whip to lash the offending student till he is left in tears ; the movie really lives upto it's name....
So can Nieman reach the pinnacle of creative genius and become a renowned drummer ?? Can he survive in the tough competitive world where other drummers are kept ready by Fletcher to pounce upon his place in the band the moment he makes a mistake ?? Does he have the temperament to withstand the force of the personality of Fletcher ; a personality that other pupils have failed to cope up with , causing life shaking consequences ??
Watch the movie for the answers....
The movie does not follow the predictable path of the student gradually impressing the teacher , but rather has surprises in store for us as it moves forward with twists and turns that make it unpredictable . And I sat in rapt attention watching every scene unfold....
Music is good , as it should be for a movie whose storyline is based on music .
Verdict---Formidable .
4 stars .

Re: Movie reviews of some off beat films that I saw recently
' Kutch nahi dekha to kuchh nahi dekha ' says the advertisement for Kutch tourism . But if you see this movie you might say ' Kutch mey kuchh nahi dekha ' especially from the tourism point of view. Because the movie shows Kutch as a godforsaken barren land without water where villagers are dying due to thirst . Why would a tourist in his right mind venture there....??
The ones who shown venturing there in the film are the photographers from magazines like National Geographic . And they are the ones who bring jobs for only a brief period to the otherwise empty life of the villagers .
And when a foreign female photographer walks in short clothes , the sex starved villagers openly stare lustfully at her dreaming of forcing sex on her and imagining her to be a porn star .
After seeing all this , do I even have to tell you that the film has been made for the western audiences . For it fulfills all the western stereotypes about India . Poverty struck Indians dying due to lack of water , sex mad Indians having rapist thoughts about skimpily clan western women , and the only ones capable of giving them jobs albeit for a brief period are the white people who have presumably descended from heaven....all the cliches are there....
Haven't we seen all this in ' City of joy ' ?? The film showing white christian nuns are the only hope and saviors of the poor people of the black hole of poverty that is Calcutta ??
Except that the foreigners in this film are not good samaritans themselves and pack their bags and leave once their job of photography is over leaving the villagers high and dry . And then the Indians go back to doing what they do best---fighting and killing each other over old and new enemities , raping women and dying due to thirst . So good for nothing , these Indians....
Of course , before leaving the foreigners have found a man for making it to the front page of their magazine . He is the man who has the miraculous powers to find out water in the salt desert---Bakka , played by Purab Kohli . He is able to find water for the flamingos whom the foreign photographers had come to film . And the lives of the flamingos are more important than the lives of those third rate human beings called Indians , for the Indian govt loans the foreigners it's water digging machine for a sum of money , something that it is loathe to do for it's citizens....
Too bad that the life of Bakka is not important too , for he is killed before he gets to see his photograph in the magazine . Killed in the midst of his attempts to get water for his village and because of his marriage to the daughter of the chieftain of the enemy village .
Ahh.....the daughter ( named Kesar ) of the chieftain of the enemy village played by actress Kirti Kulhari---she is worth a watch , especially because she exposes her lovely delicate flesh for all to see in a couple of sensuous scenes of bathing and lovemaking .
But other than her , there is little else to watch in the movie---the photography is only so so . Her rival played by actress Tannisha Chatterjee who also loves Bakka is not goodlooking , though she acts well .
So what is so good about Bakka that two women love him ?? What he is good at is convincing people that he can trace water by divine power , and in a sunbaked parched land water is as precious as gold....
And gold is what the villagers give to Bakka in order to get the foreigners' water digging machine which he gets by fraud , and it is the fraud that gets him in trouble with the villagers and the law for it costs him his friend's life and eventually his own.....
The villains play their roles well---both Mukul Dev and Yashpal Sharma are good at acting . But that does not save the film . It pretends to be a great art movie but does not work .
Both Amitabh Bacchan who is brand ambassador of Gujarat tourism and Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi who had kicked off Kutch tourism festival in december would be appalled at the image of Kutch the film gives . But the armchair critics are giving good reviews of the film , so who cares for Amitabh and Narendra Modi.....
Verdict---Okay .

Boost your gym motivation with hypnosis
You know the story. You join the gym full of good intentions and start paying your monthly gym membership fee. You go to the new gym and enjoy hanging out there - after a few visits you might even enjoy the exercise.
But bit by bit your motivation begins to slip. You know you should go to the gym but somehow there's always something else to do. The trouble is those 'other things' usually aren't nearly as good for you, and don't give you the positive mood lift that the gym can.
Gym motivation or gym guilt? It's up to you.
Once your initial gym motivation has died off, the 'gym guilt starts'. Whenever someone mentions the gym or you notice your body isn't really the shape you want it to be you get a twinge of guilt about not going to the gym. And it gets even worse when you see the debit on your monthly bank account.
Now the whole thing starts to feel unpleasant and so you avoid it even more. But you don't cancel your gym membership because you fully intend (or you think you do) to start going regularly again - to 'get back in shape'. The trouble is this can all be self deception.
Get your unconscious mind working on your motivation for you
Hypnosis is a great way to get you motivated and keep you motivated about going to the gym. This session will change all that, it will get you going to the gym regularly and instill a 'no time like the present' attitude to get you fit and strong by regular gym attendance.

It would appear that Dutch cars are coming out of the woodwork this week. Yesterday we got a glimpse at the Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS and today we bring you the Donkervoort D8 GTO.
We'll be the first to admit that the Donkervoort isn't your typically beautiful sportscar. If you like your cars with a prominent beak and a wide frame then the D8 GTO will definitely suit your tastes. But of course what is equally, if not more, important is what the Donkervoort D8 is sporting under its elongated hood. The D8 features a modified Audi TT RS 2.5 liter TFSI engine that offers up to 400 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque.
Weight ratio plays an important part in the D8's design and thanks to a steel tube frame and the use of carbon composite panels the Donkervoort D8 manages to weigh in at svelte 1,540 lbs. It's clear that the styling of the D8 was designed with function over form in mind, but while we freely admit that the D8 GTO won't be winning any beauty pageants any time soon, we can't help but stare at this Dutch masterpiece and grow increasingly fond of it.
As for availability, no word yet on whether the D8 will make it stateside, but for now European readers should take note that the first D8 GTO's will be delivered in the summer of 2012 with prices starting at €100,000.

text: Cape Town - Springbok prop Tendai Mtawarira is recovering from a successful minor medical procedure to correct an intermittent irregular heart rhythm he experienced last weekend. Mtawarira returned home to South Africa from the Springbok touring squad last Monday. This followed his withdrawal from the Test against Ireland in Dublin on November 10 as a precautionary measure, after he had a recurrence of mild heart palpitations that morning. The Springbok prop had an irregular heart rhythm, according to Springbok team doctor Craig Roberts. He underwent a minor procedure in Cape Town on Wednesday to correct this and was released from hospital on Friday.Mtawarira wanted to thank everyone involved for the support he's received in the last few days."I am well, so there is really no need to worry," said Mtawarira."The procedure went well. It's only a minor procedure and sometimes it needs to be done more than once to clear the palpitations. This is something that has happened to me before and that can be treated. Also, it's not career-threatening."Sometimes I get quite excited before a game and that is probably what triggered it. I am at peace with everything because I know God has a great plan for my life. I have prayed about it with my family and trust the Lord for a full recovery. "It's sad to miss out on the last two Tests of the season, but I've enjoyed a good year and am looking forward to 2013 very much. "There are obviously positives to come out of this as well, one of which is that my little girl was very happy to have me home a bit earlier than expected. "To all my fans, the medical staff that helped and everyone who passed on good wishes – thank you for the support and love."Mtawarira will not grant further interviews and asked that his and his family's privacy be respected at this time.

An enlargement of the first photo — with giant copyright notice because my online watermark site once again went down — in case the first photo was too small.
Geologic map of the Snowstorm Mountains and vicinity, Elko and Humboldt Counties, Nevada (Wallace, 1993), courtesy U.S. Geol. Survey.
The folds are entirely within an upper Miocene unit mapped by Wallace (1993) as Trpy — younger rhyolite porphyry — which consists of rhyolite and rhyodacite flows and domes.
By the way, I finally figured out how to download useable geologic maps from the USGS website. Here's the map. After downloading, or right-clicking and "Save Target As", one then needs to go here, go to downloads-viewers, and download/install the ExpressView Browser Plug-in (MrSID) for Windows. After installation, then just double-click, or right-click and "Open", the downloaded, saved map file, which has a .sid extension. The map then opens automatically in a useable page in your browser (IE or Firefox). This is so much easier than the old way, when one had to use the command line to open the saved maps. So, ignore these instructions listed as "Help in using this map" on the linked-to USGS map page. Although the instructions might be useful for some purposes, they are unnecessary for making a GEOtiff, tiff, jpg, gif, png, or bmp of a map or some portion thereof. The toolbar that comes with the viewer is a bit obscure; one does some things by right-clicking on tiny icons in the upper left and upper right corners. Saving is accomplished by right-clicking almost anywhere, which brings up options for printing, saving, and other useful items.

What you get
- As it's based on Openoffice, you can make full featured flash cards including diagrams, mind maps and everything else supported in Impress.
- Focus on learning. As it logs your progress and automatically schedules the next time to question you, you can learn without organizing what to learn when.
- The repetition schedule is based on modern psychological research. The Leitner system is "a widely used method to efficiently use flashcards that was proposed by the German science journalist Sebastian Leitner in the 1970s. It is a simple implementation of the principle of spaced repetition, where cards are reviewed at increasing interval." (Wikipedia)
What you need
- Openoffice or Libreoffice* from your distributions repository
- Java Runtime Environment, the Sun one**.
- Set Openoffice to use the Sun JRE.
- Opencards (v. direct download v. 1.5)
- Install Opencards, basically as any other OO extension (howto).
* I'm not sure if it works with LibreOffice, can someone with a newer distribution release test that?
** Installation may work with others, eventually, and using it, too, but you will have frequent crashes. So that is something for JRE developers willing to debug issues.
- Disable Linguistics in Openoffice to speed up loading of files.
- Don't let files grow too large. OO.o slows down considerably with larger files.
- Use the long term manager to learn a big load of flash cards over an extended amount of time. This makes it much less stressful. When the exam comes, you'll already know everything!
- In the long term manager you can add several files in categories.
- Backup your cards constantly. They're worth a lot to you. E.g. put them into a Dropbox folder.
- Tell other people about it and share your cards, check for other people's cards.
- Vote for the bug (formerly here) to speed up the opening of large files frequently needed in Opencards.
If you like this post, share it and subscribe to the RSS feed so you don't miss the next one. In any case, check the related posts section below. (Because maybe I'm just having a really bad day and normally I write much more interesting articles about theses subjects! Or maybe you'll only understand what I meant here once you've read all my other posts on the topic. ;) )

This ride is split into several sections. I wanted to ride as much of the DeKalb Branch of the NYC as was still ridable. The rails were removed about twenty-five years ago. Unfortunately, they also sold off the railbed into individual parcels. Nobody, even in 1982, was thinking "linear park". Fortunately, they left the steel bridges in place. Unfortunately, some of the people who now own the railbed have opinions about how it should be used.
The biggest problems, as I see them, are (from north to south):
- Lynn Blevins, 122 Delaney Road, has posted the railbed right behind his/her house. Presumably because of the noise / dust of ATVs, and noise of snowmobiles. Or maybe just for privacy reasons. The railbed really is the back fence of their yard.
- Somebody has built a house on the south side of Hutchinson Road, and are using the railbed as their driveway.
- Going through Heuvelton, the railbed goes very close to businesses and houses. Between Washington St., and Commerce St., the railbed doesn't exist anymore.
- Somebody has parked equipment on the north side of McCoy Road. Perhaps that's just their way of posting the property?
- North of McClure Road, the railbed is somebody's back fence, and they've built a shed on it.
- The bridge on Dry Bridge Road has been filled in. This is not a very serious problem, because the railbed can be filled to make a ramp. But because it's impassable, the railbed has gone to brush.
- Between Town Line Rd and Kelly Rd, the property is posted. I was given permission to ride on it, and the culvert/bridge has gotten washed out. It's just a short thing and could be replaced by a couple of culverts and some fill, but it's work that needs doing.
- Again, as in Heuvelton, the railbed doesn't exist in Renssalaer Falls. Somebody's built their pool on it at Birch St.
- The bridge just north of Irish Settlement Road has lost its timbers. Maybe they burned, maybe they rotted away, maybe somebody removed them, but they need replacement.
- North of Old Canton Rd, the railbed is posted and gated. A neighbor explained that they've had trespassers cutting wood and jacking deer; hence the gate.
- South of that seems to have only brush as an impediment.
I found a 1918 80lb rail used as part of a barrier on the trail.
I found mile marker 19 earlier on the paved Maple City Trail portion.
Mile marker 18 has been moved to somebody's front yard on McIntyre Rd.
Here are Mile markers 13 and 10:

Gosford is a city located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, approximately 76 km north of the Sydney central business district. The city is situated at the northern extremity of Brisbane Water, an extensive northern branch of the Hawkesbury River estuary and Broken Bay

There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.

Yesterday's Washington Times included Andrea Billups's excellent story on the installation of footbaths for Muslim students at the University of Michigan Dearborn. Billups reports that the footbaths "were requested as an accommodation by a Muslim Student Association's task force." The object of the demand for footbaths is to secure the expenditure of public funds to support Islam. The phenomenon is insidious.
A little background on the MSA should provide a clue. Founded in 1963 by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the MSA is, according to Stephen Schwartz, MSA "a key element in the Wahhabi lobby, and a cornerstone of the conspiracy by Saudi-backed extremists to control American Islam, as well the public discourse about Islam in America." It appears to be closely linked to the Islamic Society of North America, a key unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation prosecution. Joe Kaufman's "MSA: The missing co-conspirator" provides background.

Lancaster Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (LSPCA) is a registered South Carolina charity formed in June of 2013.
Our rescued animals come from the Lancaster County Animal Shelter, owner surrenders, abandoned and/or neglected animals, plus a few from out of town that needed our help.
All of our animals get excellent care from Faulkner Animal Hospital and their staff, and we have placed more than 150 homeless animals into healthy happy homes.
On Friday, May 23, my husband had cause to call on the services of a 911 dispatcher, the Lancaster County and Heath Springs Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and first responder from the volunteer fire department.
I would like to thank each responder, on my husband's behalf, for their prompt, professional and compassionate services during this difficult time.
Because of the situation I cannot remember their individual names, and I do apologize for that, and send my heartfelt thanks for a job well done.
Here we go again – talk, talk, talk. No action. When the issue of Indian Land incorporation came up many years ago, IL Action Council had the mayor of Tega Cay talk about incorporation. He was a very good speaker. In 30 minutes he gave the lowdown on incorporating in South Carolina. It was not hard, just time-consuming. Lancaster County Councilman Brian Carnes was here then and might remember this.
J.R. Wilt's column, "County Council runs amok on the overlay," regarding the overlay plan in the May 11 edition of The Lancaster News should open a lot of eyes, provided Mr. Wilt's cost figures on traffic light poles (masts) are correct.
If a light mast costs $300,000, something doesn't smell right. With costs like that, Lancaster County has spent a bunch of money on U.S. 521 North to enable the residents easier access from their developments to the main highway.
Once a month the residents of Morningside Assisted Living get to choose a place to go out for lunch.
We take the ladies out one week and the men out the next. This gives them a chance to fellowship with each other and try restaurants in town they have may have not tried before.
On Thursday, May 8, I took a group of seven ladies out to lunch at Wing King.
There was a gentleman at the next table, who when paying his bill, paid ours as well. The total was almost $100.
In Lancaster County, the local primary is June 10. From my observation, the voter turnout is not a sufficient representation of the total population in local elections.
When a presidential election is held the population turns out in masses.
That same response is needed now. Very important offices are up for election. Now is the time to make our voice heard, again.
Our local elections have a direct effect on us as a people. We have a say in who runs our local government.
This is a response to John Lage's article, "Writer seeks explanation about tea party comment" in May 7 edition of The Lancaster News.
The tea party stands for six simple principles: no more bailouts, reduce the size and intrusiveness of government, stop raising our taxes, repeal Obamacare, cease out-of-control spending and bring back American prosperity.
This can be found online under "Tea Party Express-Mission Statement." These principles obviously don't match what you wrote in your article.
Memory Lane Cruisers Inc. was established as a place for people who like cars to get together, fellowship with each other and give back to the community. In past years, we have supported Shriner's Children's Hospital, HOPE of Lancaster, Christian Services, the Angel Tree at Christmas and individual families who needed help.
In 2014, Memory Land Cruisers Inc. donated $600 to HOPE and $400 to Christian Services.
This is in response to the article, "County hashes out agreement," about the proposed development agreement between Mattamy Homes and Lancaster County Council that appeared in May 4 edition of The Lancaster News.
Are you serious? In the proposed development agreement between Mattamy Homes and County Council, Mattamy is demanding that the school district must guarantee in writing that students living in the Tree Tops subdivision will go to Indian Land schools.
This is a response to Sandy McGarry's article, "GOP seeks to keep corruption out of county," published in the April 23 edition of The Lancaster News.
Thank you for throwing the first stone in the 2014 election cycle concerning corruption in politics.
Corruption is defined in the Funk and Wagnalls standard dictionary as open to bribery, dishonest, immoral and/or tainted.
McGarry states our county, but doesn't mention any name(s) associated with corruption from our present elected officials.

Baseball Advances Past Jackson St., 11-7
Game 1: LSU def. Jackson St., 11-7
Game 2: Sam Houston St. def. UL-Lafayette, 4-2
Updated on Bregman and Rhymes:
LSU coach Paul Mainieri said Friday night that LSU shortstop Alex Bregman was examined by doctors Friday afternoon, and it was determined that he did not suffer a fracture in his face. Bregman also passed all of the concussion tests that were administered.
Bregman will be checked again by doctors Saturday morning, and his playing status for Saturday's 7 p.m. game vs. Sam Houston State will be determined at some time prior to first pitch.
Game 1: LSU def. Jackson St., 11-7
BATON ROUGE -- Mason Katz was 2-for-2 with three runs and four RBI, as the top-seeded LSU baseball team (53-9) went against the script but advanced past Jackson State on Friday afternoon at Alex Box Stadium, 11-7.
Already without the services of outfielder Mark Laird for the game and starting pitcher Cody Glenn for the weekend, the Tigers suffered another blow when leftfielder Raph Rhymes collided with shortstop Alex Bregman on a fly ball that Bregman caught to end the top of the fourth. Each left the game, as Rhymes suffered a cut on his lip and received stitches, and Bregman left the facility to be evaluated.
"Maybe one of the more painful wins that we've had in our time," LSU head coach Paul Mainieri said. "We're glad to win the game of course, but the biggest concern is Alex Bregman and Raph Rhymes with the collision. We'll just pray and hope that they're going to be okay and be able to get back to playing. It was a rough game. Nothing went by script today.
"Raph Rhymes could have continued to play in the game but I just chose to take him out of the game....Alex' situation is a little bit more concerning to us, quite frankly. He's at the hospital right now and getting some tests done on the bones in his face."
NCAA Regional Home | ESPN3.com
Meanwhile, LSU pitcher Kurt McCune (4-1) tossed the 4 2/3 innings of scoreless relief of starter Ryan Eades. McCune allowed four hits with five strikeouts after entering a tie game in the third. The LSU offense then scored 10-unanswered runs to bust the game open. Katz' two-run homer to center capped a four-run fourth inning and put LSU ahead 8-2.
Jackson State starter Alexander Juday (7-5) allowed seven runs on six hits with two walks in the loss. Rightfielder Fred Hampton paced the Tigers with a 3-for-4 performance with a two-run home. Leadoff hitter Aneki Knowles was 4-for-5 with a run and an RBI.
On Saturday at 7 p.m., LSU will face Sam Houston State, a 4-2 winner of Friday's nightcap against No. 2-seeded Louisiana-Lafayette.
Jackson State (34-21) will face UL-Lafayette at 2 p.m. Saturday.
After a 25-minute rain delay in the top of the first inning, Jackson State grabbed a 2-0 lead off Eades with a two-RBI double from center fielder Charles Tilery.
In the bottom of the frame, LSU right fielder Sean McMullen (3-for-4) led off with a single and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Katz for the Tigers' first of 10-unanswered runs. The Tigers evened the score in the bottom of the first on a Jackson State throwing error.
Katz delivered another sacrifice fly in the third, giving LSU a lead which it wouldn't relinquish, 3-2. Later in the inning, third baseman Christian Ibarra (2-for-5) connected for an RBI double.
LSU hitters kept swinging in the fourth with RBI from McMullen and pinch hitter Chris Sciambra. Katz then launched a towering blast off of the batter's eye in center field for his team-leading 15th homer of the season. LSU extended its lead to 8-2.
In the sixth, outfielder Jared Foster added a two-run shot of his own into the left field bleachers, marking his second home run of the season.
Jackson State showed a noble effort in the games' latter innings with three runs in the eighth, and two runs in the ninth on Hampton's homer. LSU senior right-hander Joey Bourgeois stopped the Jackson State rally in the ninth with a shutout inning of work.
Game 1, Baton Rouge Regional, May 31, 2013
With 11-7 win: LSU overall NCAA Tournament record: 128-49 (best percentage in NCAA Tournament history); 81-19 in all-time regional games; 71-14 in tournament games played in Baton Rouge
With the 11-7 loss: Jackson State overall NCAA Tournament record is 0-9, and their 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning was the first lead Jackson State has held in any of their nine NCAA Tournament games.
LSU's first NCAA Tournament game in Baton Rouge was May 22, 1986 in the South I Regional and was a 14-11 win over Jackson State. It was LSU's second overall NCAA Tournament win. The first was a 7-2 win over Murray State in 1975 Regional in Starkville, Miss.
Jackson State designated hitter's Aneko Knowles was 4-for-5, his first 4-hit game this season, and it was the 11th time a Jackson State had at least 4 hits in a game this season.
LSU senior first baseman tied a school single-game record with two sacrifice fly balls. The last player among many to tied the record was Austin Nola in an April, 2011 game at Tulane.
His 15th home run of the season, a two-run shot into the batter's eye, gave LSU the lead at 4-2 in the 4th inning. His 15 are the most for an LSU hitter in a season since Matt Gaudet hit 19 during the 2010 season. The homer was Katz's 32nd of his career.
His double in the 8th inning was his 13th of the season and the 51st of his four-year career, a number that puts him in 10th place in LSU all-time career standings. He passed former LSU All-America and Major Leaguer Aaron Hill (50) and Katz is one behind Clay Harris (52) in those standings.
Katz's four RBI gives him 178 for this career.
Sean McMullin's stolen base in the first inning was his first of the season.
Ryan Eades' 2.1 innings was the shortest stint of the season for the junior righthander. He went 4 innings each against Ole Miss (May 18), at Alabama (April 20), and at Arkansas (April 13).
LSU played errorless ball for the 29th game in their 53-9 season.
Paid attendance 11,577 is the largest paid crowd for a regional game at the new Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field. The actual attendance was 9,316, the third-largest crowd for a regional game in the new stadium.
LSU Head Coach Paul Mainieri
Opening statement…
"I don't know what adjective to use. Maybe one of the more painful wins that we've had in our time. We're glad to win the game of course, but the biggest concern is Alex Bregman and Raph Rhymes with the collision. We'll just pray and hope that they're going to be okay and be able to get back to playing. It was a rough game. Nothing went by script today. Obviously Ryan [Eades] had a tough time with his command, and Kurt [McCune] came in and saved the day for the Tigers. He was phenomenal – just absolutely outstanding. This was the longest he'd thrown in a long, long time. The other guy that I think really stepped up for us off the bench was Jared Foster. Chris Sciambra came up and got a big hit for us, and Jared Foster had a big day hitting the homerun and a sacrifice fly. There were a lot of things that didn't go so great today, but there were a lot of things that were also really outstanding. I'm really happy that some guys really rose to the occasion for our team. So we're going to hopefully get through this thing – health-wise – and we'll just dwell on the fact that we won the ballgame and we're okay and move on to the big game tomorrow."
On the collision between Alex Bregman and Raph Rhymes…
"I'm not really concerned about concussions at all. Raph Rhymes could have continued to play in the game but I just chose to take him out of the game. He had a laceration on his lip and needed some stiches. He took a good blow to the nose so he might have a couple of black eyes – I don't think his nose is broken or anything. There was no concussion or anything like that. I just felt that the heat and the shot to the head and everything, the best thing was just to get him out of the game. Alex [Bregman's] situation is a little bit more concerning to us, quite frankly. He's at the hospital right now and getting some tests done on the bones in his face and I haven't heard any report yet, so that's as much as I know."
On LSU's relief pitching performance…
"[Nate] Fury did a good job, I thought, and so did Joey Bourgeois. Kevin Berry didn't and Hunter Newman didn't. The only reason I took Kurt [McCune] out of the game was because of the balance of playing one at a time, and also knowing you've got a long tournament. There's always a challenge. It's more challenging because Cody Glenn is not with us. I thought that the game was not in hand but close to being in hand and we could get through two innings, the plan was to go with Kevin Berry for the eighth and [Hunter] Newman for the ninth. Kevin [Berry] got the first out and looked like he was throwing the ball pretty well and all of a sudden just kind of lost it. [Nate] Fury came in and I thought he did a really good job – got us out of the inning. I was going to start the ninth with [Nate] Fury, but I thought let's try to save the pitches with him, especially after we tacked on the one additional run in the bottom of the eighth inning. Unfortunately, Hunter Newman walked the first batter and gave up a homerun and walked another batter. But Joey [Bourgeois] I thought did a great job."
LSU Players' Post Game Quotes
On his hitting performance against Jackson State…
"I just wanted to hit the ball on the ground and keep it out of the air. I didn't want to do too much. I just wanted to get on base."
On Jackson State's pitcher…
"I think their pitcher did very well for them. All we were trying to do was keep the ball on the ground and out of the air. I think we did a pretty good job of that in this game. Hopefully we will carry it over to the next game."
On his hitting performance…
"Pretty much every situation I came upon in the beginning was a man on third and one out. I had to hit a pop up or fly ball. Then on the homerun there was two outs and I was trying to hit the ball hard. I worked a pretty long count. Chris did the hard work with the first two out RBI. I was able to put one into the wind."
On his home run…
"I worked a pretty long count. I took a couple good cuts. He was throwing a lot of changeups and getting guys up front. He did throw me a fastball earlier in the count. I fouled it straight back. I was still sticking to the approach to hit the ball to right center, I just tried to get that run in any way possible. The wind was blowing that way. I think it was a three-two count. He threw a fast ball in the middle and I was able to stick to my approach and fell right into what I wanted to do."
On his pitching performance today…
"I am just really happy that I could help my team out today. I went in with the mindset to just get out of the inning. I never expected to go as long as I did. I am glad did because we were running low on arms. I am just thankful I could do that."
On pitching multiple innings…
"I loved it. Being able to be out there for a couple innings helped me get into a groove and figure out what was working. I was able to see what pitches were working for me. I think I figured out a lot today."
Jackson State Post Game Quotes
Head Coach Omar Johnson
Opening Statement
"They came out and played like the No. 1 team in the country. They did not make any mistakes; we anticipated that. We knew coming into the game that we were going to have to play a clean game to have an opportunity to win."
On pitching plans for tomorrow…
"Well (Desmond) Russell will probably play tomorrow. We still have a couple of arms. We are not the most over powering bunch but these guys are going to throw strikes, you have seen how we pitch. If you don't stay back and get on some pitches we are going to get you out. So again, Russell will throw tomorrow and we still have an outstanding chance."
On Jackson State starting out aggressively…
"You always talk about trying to get a lead in the beginning. These guys play on momentum. So, getting a lead, getting up by one run early, gives these guys so much confidence. But, you have to consistently play throughout the game in order to win the nine-inning game."
On a late game rally…
"We left too many out there. We left too many runs on base, but they kept chipping away. When they start getting a little erratic and we start taking pitches and getting base runners that's when you know. If you look at the eighth or ninth inning when we had the tying run on deck that is a testament to these guys that they are not going to give up and they will keep battling."
On LSU's Kurt McCune …
"He hit some spots. One thing about pitching is that it is not always about the velocity all the time. It is about him being able to locate well. (Kurt) McCune made some key pitches when he had to. When McCune struck our player with the bases loaded that was a big time play in the game. If he does not strike that player out right there with the bases loaded we possibly go up two. Because really, you take away the four errors, it is a tie game. You take away the homerun from (Mason) Katz we win. That is wishful thinking, but at the same time that is how a baseball game is played out. You cannot make mistakes and expect to beat the No. 1 team in the country."
P Aneko Knowles
On his big day offensively…
"I've seen these type of pitchers all day and I knew I could have a day like today. I look it as just another pitcher on the mound and you just have to hit the ball."
On possibly coming back…
"All year we've known that we just have to battle back and we could come back. We just had to get some hits back-to-back and we would be right back in it."
P Alexander Juday
On his pitching…
"I didn't locate very well today. I just wanted to come out and compete for our guys. I felt like I did that for the first two innings but after that I missed with some pitches and they squared off."
OF Charles Tillery
On the big offensive day…
"I knew coming in I just had to get myself prepared to hit. I had to try and turn something around."
On starting fast…
"Coming in we knew that we could do what we did. We've seen great pitching all year and we knew we could hit off of them."
Game 2: Sam Houston St. def. UL-Lafayette, 4-2
With the win, Sam Houston State is now 38-20 overall and will play LSU in the 7 p.m. game on Saturday night. Sam Houston State will be the home team.
With the loss, Louisiana-Lafayette is now 41-19 and will play Jackson State in the 2 p.m. game on Saturday afternoon. Jackson State will be the home team.
Sam Houston State scored the winning runs in the seventh innings and made it stand up, and they are now 32-1 when leading after seven innings of play. Sam Houston State is now 8-14 in NCAA Regional games. This is the third time they have won the opening game of a regional.
Azar Anthony of Sam Houston was 2-for-5 and extended his present streak of reaching base to 13 games.
Seth Harrison, Louisiana-Lafayette's leading hitter with nine bunt singles, picked up his ninth sacrifice bunt in the third inning moving him into a tie with Blake Trahan for team lead.
Dex Kjerstad extended his hitting streak to 14 games. He is now tied with Tyler Girouard and Ryan Leonards for team-high streak this season. Kjerstad increased his season hits total to 96 moving him within five hits of tying the single-season record 101 set by Nathan Nelson in 2000 … Kjerstad's 2-for-5 performance marked his team-leading 31st multiple-hit game. Kjerstad has produced multiple hits in eight of the past nine contests, a streak that dates back to second game of South Alabama doubleheader on May 12
Reliever Matt Hicks made his team-leading 29th appearance taking over for Ryan Wilson in the sixth inning. Hicks is now one appearance shy of becoming the first Cajun pitcher with 30 appearances since Danny Farquhar (30) in 2007 ... The relief appearance by Matt Hicks was the 70th of his career. He is one appearance from moving into the Top 5 on the career charts for games pitched in school history
The two runs scored by the Ragin' Cajuns marked the fewest since scoring two runs on April 13 at UALR (lost 7-2). Louisiana-Lafayette had scored five-plus runs each of the previous 13 games in May and entered the Baton Rouge Regional averaging 9.9 runs per game during the month.
The Ragin' Cajuns began play in their 13th NCAA Baseball Championship appearance and ninth under the direction of Tony Robichaux. Louisiana is appearing in Baton Rouge for regional round competition for the first time since 2002
Louisiana-Lafayette had a two-game win streak in NCAA Regional round openers snapped with the 4-2 defeat. The Cajuns had won opening round games in 2007 at College Station and 2010 in Austin.
The paid attendance for tonight's game was 10,886 and the actual was 3,851. The total for day one was 22,463 paid and 13,167 actual.
Sam Houston State Head Coach David Pierce
Opening statement…
"I just thought it was a pretty good ballgame. Both teams left some runners on base. Both teams competed well in the circumstances – the environment and excitement. I thought both teams played fairly loose. We really got a competitive job by Cody [Dickson]. I wouldn't say it was his best outing, but he competed and gave us a chance the entire time. And Alan [Scott] was just lights out tonight, and he's been doing that all year. Offensively, we had those timely hits that you always talk about. Luke [Plucheck] had a tremendous night. [Anthony] Azar had a great night. Just a great win for us and we're ready to get some rest and move on to tomorrow night."
On Cody Dickson's pitching performance…
"The thing with Cody [Dickson] is that he's such a worker and he's such a preparer. He did a great job preparing. The breaking ball got away from him a little bit tonight, so we really stayed with the fastball and tried to spot it up in some spots to just keep them off of the fastball. He's always ready to go and his arm works really well. The breaking ball got away from him, but for him to go into the sixth inning and pitch just under 100 pitches and get us to that point and get us out of the game, I thought he did a tremendous job of doing that."
Sam Houston State Player Quotes
OF Luke Plucheck
On his hitting and defensive performance…
"Each at-bat was set up by the guy in front of me. The homerun just so happened to lead off the inning. I usually just try to get on base for the guy behind me. The other at-bats I just knew the same thing that I needed to get on base and try to create something for the team. Luckily, I came up to that situation at my third at-bat. I had the chance to drive in some runs to get us ahead. Luckily, I was able to get a pitch and hit it pretty hard. Everything worked out."
On losing to Arkansas last season and learning from the experience…
"Everyone who returned in the dugout experienced that last season. When they say experience plays a key role in hostile environments like this it's true. We knew that Louisiana-Lafayette was going to travel well and have a lot of fans here. Louisiana-Lafayette is a resilient team. They wouldn't go away. We jumped up early on them and they came right back and tied it up. A lot of it comes down to that game last year. It was heartbreaking. We had the game in hand and just let it slip away. We learned from it and we are excited about tomorrow."
P Cody Dickson
On his pitching performance tonight…
"It wasn't the greatest outing I would have liked to have. In the end we came out with a win. We are all excited about the next game."
P Alan Scott
On relieving Cody Dickson…
"When I first came in it was just the same. I really find myself who can handle lefties pretty well. Cody was no big deal. As far as the rest of the game I made a commitment to myself that I was going to attack the plate and just go at it hard."
Louisiana-Lafayette Head Coach Tony Robichaux
On tonight's game…
"First of all, I thought both of their kids threw really well. We just couldn't really get on top of the ball throughout the night. We kept the game as close as we could. We could have trimmed at least one more run off of there with the dropped fly ball in centerfield. (Sam Houston State) got a critical hit at a critical time of the game. You have to give them credit. They played well. They played good defense. They pitched well. We did the same thing. We kept ourselves in the ball game. We could never really get the good lick at the right time that we got throughout the season. (Ryan) Wilson threw a great game. He gave us a great chance. Matt (Hicks) came in and got the double play off of the bunt to keep us right there. I thought Kendall (Mayer) threw well too and got some big outs. (Sam Houston State) got one critical hit at a critical time of the game and it did us in, but that is what happens when pitchers throw well and you play good defense behind them. (Sam Houston State) never let the game get away. We never let the game get away. It was a good baseball game. I just thought they got the critical hit at the critical time of the game. We have to work to survive and advance now."
On the team's pitching plans…
"We will probably go with Austin (Robichaux) tomorrow. We will come out and get after it and get ourselves back in this thing. This was not going to be an easy regional anyway. You are playing one of the better teams in the country in one of the toughest venues in the country. We didn't fool ourselves and think this was going to be easy. We are going to get back in this thing tomorrow. These guys can hit and they will hit before this thing is over."
Louisiana-Lafayette Player Quotes
RF Dex Kjerstad
On his last at bat…
"I got under it too much and the guy just made a great play on the wall out there."
On Sam Houston State's starting pitcher…
"He was effectively wild there for a little while and it kept us off balance.
C Michael Strentz
On trying to get back in the game…
"At that point I had two strikes and I knew I had to get on top of the ball which was hard for us tonight. I just stuck with it and I knew I needed to get on base to get back in it. Their pitchers weren't over powering but that's just how baseball goes. Tomorrow we just need to work on getting on top of balls and getting back in this tournament."
On Sam Houston's big inning…
"The homerun was up and away and he just flipped his bat and got around it. On the double, he threw his bat around it and they scored two off of it."

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — A Palestinian rights group says Gaza's Hamas rulers have detained six journalists suspected of affiliation to a rival group, Fatah.
The Palestinian Center for Human Rights said Wednesday that Hamas security forces seized the men and their equipment over the past two days.
The group said the detentions were part of a wider arrest sweep this week of two dozen suspected Fatah loyalists.
Hamas expelled Fatah members in 2007 and took control of Gaza. Fatah is headed by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
The arrests could undermine reconciliation efforts between Hamas and Fatah. While both groups routinely crack down on rivals, it's unusual for six reporters to be picked up in one sweep.
Gaza's Interior Ministry the arrested men were suspected of sabotaging "communal peace."

Changes in Class X Exams
The Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) is thinking of major changes in the structure of its High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) and High Madrassa (HM) examinations to bring them on par with the school final examinations of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). However, one can see that the prime objective of SEBA is to introduce a means of ensuring that the assessment of those appearing for the HSLC and HM examinations becomes a continuous process rather than just one examination. What the SEBA indents to do is laudable for another reason. The structuring of the HSLC and HM examinations ensures not only continuous assessment of students but also the important element of autonomy of schools affiliated to the SEBA. What the revised to structure of the school final examinations of SEBA aim at is that students will not be awarded marks and grades solely on the basis of their performance in just one school final examination but that their performance in school throughout the year will also get reflected in the results of the HSLC and HM examinations. Apparently, what SEBA proposes to do is to base the school final results of 2015 on 50 per cent of the marks secured by candidates in the five core subjects of English, General Mathematics, General Science, Social Science and Major Indian Languages (MIL). The marks secured in the elective subject (sixth paper, which is selected by the candidates from a list of optional subjects) will also be added. By 2016 SEBA proposes to that end the HSLC examination on the CBSE model, including marks of continuous comprehensive evaluation (CCE) tests held across the year in the final HSLC results. This is a far better evaluation of students than the present mode of deciding their fate on just one single school final examination. This is a better form of evaluation also because it depends on a high level of autonomy than just one single school final examination. At the same time, one cannot afford to overlook the fact that greater autonomy calls for a far better level of training for teachers and examiners to ensure that autonomy that not degenerate to a means of legitimizing subjective evaluation of students. We often tend to overlook the fact that all attempts to use more sophisticated tools of evaluation call for far better training of those who have to use such tools. SEBA has long suffered from the lack of personnel adequately trained in educational evaluation to do justice to their responsibilities of providing certification of achievement to students appearing for the HSLC and HM examinations. This simple principle relating to the killers of any sophisticated tools is that the greater the sophistication the better the training needed for the use of such sophisticated tools. Now that SEBA has decided to rely on continuous comprehensive evaluation, it will need personnel adequately trained for the kind of sophistication that such progressive reforms call for. Unfortunately, the Board of Secondary Education, Assam managed for several years without any officer trained in Educational Evaluation to take care of examinations. We would not like to see the lack of adequate training undo the good intentions of SEBA in adopting the standards and the methodology set by the Central Board of Secondary Education for more acceptable modes of educational evaluation than what we have had over the years. Something that has set a whole lot of people worrying is what could happen to the future of SEBA if it continues in its accustomed groove as it has been doing for the last few decades. The time for a change should have been a few decades ago. But now that SEBA has decided to accept the inevitable changes one can only hope that they will be carried out with efficiency and with the requisite knowledge of the principles involved.

As more normal rainfall patterns return, ranchers will need to repopulate their herds. The good news: bringing bred heifers into your herd over the next year or two should be quite profitable.
This bred-heifer outlook is based on my current strong price projections for calf prices over the next three to four years. My projections suggest we've even entered into a new price plateau for beef feeder calf prices for this beef price cycle.
For one, U.S. cattle numbers are down, and beef prices should remain strong as producers build the nation's beef cow herd over the next three to four years. Beef prices, however, will likely turn down toward the end of this decade, as the current beef price cycle is projected to bottom out in the 2011-2013 time period.
Thus, the economic potential for a bred heifer is now. A fall 2004, preg-checked heifer is projected to produce her first three calves during this beef price cycle's high calf prices. The production of her remaining calves, however, will likely fall during the lower price period of the current cycle. Typically, calves produced during the lower price years of the beef price cycle don't add much to the economic value of bred heifers.
The time is now
In reality, the maximum economic potential for bred heifers occurs before the run-up in beef prices begins. I expect history to confirm that heifer calves born in 2001, bred in 2002, and producing their first calf in 2003 will be the most valuable heifer during this decade. That's because she will produce more of her calves during the peak prices of the current beef price cycle.
Remember that the sale barn price of a bred heifer differs from that heifer's economic value. The sale barn price of a bred heifer highly correlated with current calf price and is projected to go up over the next couple of years. At the same time, the economic value of heifers in a beef cow herd is projected to go down.
That's because the sum of a heifer's net incomes starting in 2005, 2006 and 2007 will progressively go down as increasingly fewer calves are born during the peak of the current beef price cycle. All this leads to my projections that over-valued bred heifers will be brought into herds in 2006, and possibly 2007, and negate much of the profit potential from running beef cows over the rest of this decade.
The rule of thumb for adding replacement heifers is quite simple: A rancher should add replacement heifers that have economic values greater than the acquisition cost of the bred heifers. (Acquisition cost can be either purchase price or the cost of raising your own replacement heifers.)
The greater the difference between the economic value and the acquisition cost of replacement heifers, the higher the profit potential of that heifer in a beef cow herd. If the acquisition cost exceeds the economic value, a rancher should not add that replacement heifer.
My six rules
For this analysis, I assume a preg-checked heifer will have seven consecutive calves, starting with her first calf in 2005. Here are six steps required to calculate the economic value of a bred heifer in your herd.
Develop a set of calf planning prices for the expected life of the bred heifer. Annual calf planning prices are needed for years 2005 through 2011.
Project annual net income for each of the seven years the heifer is projected to calve in your herd.
Project the salvage value of the cull cow at the end of the seventh year.
Determine the appropriate discount interest rate to use in calculating the time value of money.
Calculate the economic value of a bred heifer.
Adjust for different number of lifetime calves produced.
For most beef producers, developing a set of planning prices is among the most difficult and complex tasks in planning. The problem is beef prices tend to go in cycles and today's price is a poor proxy for long-run planning prices. (My latest long-run planning prices are posted near the bottom of my Web page: www.beefcharts.blogspot.com.)
Fall Northern Plains, 500- to 600-lb. steer calves averaged $77/cwt. in 1998, went up to $91 in 1999, and hit a first peak of $100 in 2001. Calf price dropped to $94 in 2001 and continued downward to $86 in 2002. Calf price turned upward in 2003 to $116 and is projected to hit the beef price cycle peak at $136 this fall.
Prices are projected to remain strong in 2005 at $129, reach a second peak of $133 in 2006, and turn down from 2007 through 2011. I used these long-run planning prices to project the net income for beef cows over for the next seven years.
A new price plateau
The good news is that a new price plateau is projected for the current beef price cycle. As a result, beef calf prices are projected to remain above $100/cwt. throughout the downward phase of this beef price cycle. Cull cow price projections are based on www.fapri.com long-run price projections.
Using North Dakota's Farm Business Management Record Summaries (databased at www.finbin.umn.edu/output/41075.htm), I obtained a five-year (1999-2003) average beef cow enterprise account for Northern Plains beef cow herds. The five-year average calf price was $90/cwt., which generated a $97 five-year average net income for these Northern Plains beef herds. This five-year average net income served as the base for calculating the economic value of a 2003-born heifer checked pregnant in fall 2004.
Beef cow budgets were prepared for each of the seven years this heifer is scheduled to have a calf. Net income per cow is projected at $314 for 2005, $282 for 2006, $224 for 2007, $208 for 2008, $186 for 2009, $170 for 2010, and $159 for 2011. The cull cow value of this heifer after having seven consecutive calves is projected at $444.
The final step is to calculate the net present value (NPV) of these future net incomes. These future net incomes (and cull cow income) total $1,987. But, when a 6% discount rate is used to calculate the time value of money, the NPV of this heifer investment is reduced to $1,560 in today's dollars. (Find these calculations at www.beefcharts.blogspot.com.)
What does this $1,560 economic value of a heifer tell us? It suggests that if this beef cow producer paid $1,560 for this bred heifer this fall, and if my net income projections come true, this $1,560 investment is projected to earn a 6% return on investment (ROI). If this producer pays more than $1,560, he's projected to earn less than 6% ROI. If he pays less than $1,560 for this heifer, he will earn more than 6% ROI.
In summary, a bred heifer is worth all of her future annual net incomes, including her future cull value, while in a rancher's herd discounted back to today's dollars. Given my projected new price plateau, the economic value of today's bred heifers, while not a record high, is still very high. My recommendation — don't wait too long to add heifers to your herd.
