1. He could make tables walk.
2. He (and others in the room with him) could hear knocking.
3. People wanted him to do these things.
and of the course the biggie:
4. He was making a table walk and it was struck by lightning in the middle of the room on a clear day which made him give up whatever he was doing.
And then there also was the pity my grandmother felt for him being 'driven practically crazy' by the unwelcome knocking for the rest of his life.
Another interesting thing is the fact that he was not listed as having a job in any record until the 1910 census where he is listed as a fireman at the mill. Interviews also had him not working at a job, but providing for his family.
So, what do you do when you want to find out if such a thing like table walking and knocking have a name and what purpose either could serve? Well, you google it, of course! And, no surprise to me, these things do have names: table tipping and rapping. What was a surprise to me was that they both are attributed to mediumship. You know, seances and spirits. I probably shouldn't have been surprised considering my enduring and avid curiosity about such things all my life, but I was. Now it seems it was obvious and I should have seen it all along. But I didn't. I won't say whether I am just a brick shy of a load or just consider that an ancestor of mine is expected to be kind of boring, but I did give some thought to both.
Let's start with some history on the subject.
The entire era of spiritualism and mediumship seems to start with the Fox sisters, Leah, Maggie and Katie about 1848 in New York. The claimed to 'talk' to spirits in their home as children through tapping, so many taps for yes and so many for no, as they asked questions of the spirits. Later in life Maggie confessed to it all being fake after becoming very religious. She later said she had lied about claiming it was fake, but by then they were all suspect. There were many frauds that have been documented from the early days, and the label could probably be applied to most of them if truth be told. But, there were a number of notable mediums that came out of the era of 1860 to the 1930's and even to the present day. One of my favorites, which I had studied many years ago, was Edgar Cayce aka The Sleeping Prophet. I simply had not put together Cayce's trance/dream work with my Old Toms' "table-walking" and "knocking". There are many forms of mediumship which I did not know about.
Attempts to communicate with the dead has been documented back to very early history. One that comes to mind easily is the story of the Witch of Endor, who raised the spirit of the dead Samuel so that Saul could question him about a battle. (I Samuel 28:8-25 Old Testament). Communicating with spirits is an old practice.
Arthur Conana Doyle, Harry Houdini and even Abraham Lincoln were all believers. Lincoln, remember, had his 'dreams', and everyone knows how Harry Houdini spent so many hours with medium after medium trying to contact his mother. (Not to mention the hours and years he spent in the after-life trying to contact his living wife through a medium. Some stories say he did, some say he didn't.) Hmmmmmm.
In the very late 1800's and early 1900's, the 'home seance' was all the rage. I should image many were little more than dramatic theater, kind of like renting a movie on the weekend. This was the birth of the 'professional medium'. Everyone was interested in psychic phenomena. Money was to be made. Here in Indiana there was the creation of Camp Chesterfield in 1886, just outside Indy. It was one of the most popular and well known Spiritualist camps in the country, with visitors coming from as far away as California. It is still home to the Indiana Association of Spiritualists. Yep, big business!
What I had been told over and over in interviews about old Tom was his 'walking a table', which was actually called table tipping. It was a way for the participants through the medium, to talk to the spirits. Everyone would sit around the table, each resting their hands on the top. Then, depending on the strength of the medium (or his 'special effects') the table would vibrate, move and tip from leg to leg in response to questions. It would probably look as though it was "walking".
Allan Kardac in "The Medium's Book" wrote:
"The qualities of mediums are various. The medianimic power is sometimes very strong, producing strongly marked effects; a single individual who is really a powerful medium often producing more effect, alone, than twenty others united. If such a one lays his hands on the table for an instant, it immediately begins to move, rising up, turning over, spinning round with great velocity, or performing a variety of irregular and often violent motions."
Another thing that was said over and over in the interviews was the 'knocking'. It was said it "just about drove old Tom crazy all the rest of his life". That is called "rapping", and it is the way a spirit tries to communicate with a person. It is not something 'conjoured' by a medium, but in one source I read, it was often the sign of a 'real' medium.
I spent many hours pouring over articles and books on the subject (a tiny few are listed below). When I was done I realized there was no way, short of a seance, that I could prove any of it. But there is a feeling, deep inside, that tells me I have almost solved this mystery. I am as sure as I can be that George Thomas "Old Tom" Jaynes was a professional spiritual medium. The only thing I haven't answered is the lightning incident. Only he can tell me about that one.
All I have to leave for those that come after me are the stories and a few historical facts. But I know.......
Then again, perhaps I could interview him.
I could use some help around the table. Join me, anyone?

Vachel Linday's Life
Joseph G. Kronick.
Lindsay, Vachel (10 Nov. 1879-5 Dec. 1931), writer, was born Nicholas Vachel Lindsay in Springfield, Illinois, the son of Vachel Thomas Lindsay, a physician, and Esther Catherine Frazee. The Lindsays were devout Campbellites, a church founded in 1830 by the immigrant Scotch-Irish clergyman Alexander Campbell, whose emphasis on individual spiritual life, education, the missionary role of American democracy, and the hope for a nondenominational Christian church had a profound impact upon Lindsay, shaping his career as poet, pamphleteer, and performer.
From 1897 to 1899 Lindsay attended a Campbellite school, Hiram College in Ohio, but he never took a degree. There he kept notebooks and diaries, a practice he had begun when he was seven and continued throughout his life. He headed each diary with "This book belongs to Christ," consecrating himself to a lifelong project of spreading what he called "the gospel of beauty" devoted to the redemption of mankind through art.
In pursuit of this goal, Lindsay attended the Chicago Art Institute from 1901 to 1903. Although he was an undistinguished student, he held to his belief that art starts "with a vision, with a beautiful idealization of the thing you see." His drawings are fanciful illustrations of his poems and gospel and are imitative of William Blake and the pre-Raphaelites, but without the skill of either.
Lindsay next attended the New York School of Art (1903-1904). He spent a great deal of time at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he repeatedly visited the Egyptian sculptures, which began a lifelong interest in hieroglyphics, from which he drew inspiration for his symbols and theory of beauty. He also tried to publish his poems and illustrations but had little success.
In the summer of 1904 Lindsay experienced his first visions. At night, and again the next day, he saw Old Testament prophets. Afterward, he wrote his first mystical poem, "A Prayer in the Jungles of Heaven," and drew his "Map of the Universe," a source for symbols that appear in many of his poems and which he had reproduced in a slightly different version as the frontispiece to Collected Poems (1923). The map depicts Lindsay's moral "universe," with "The Throne of Mountains" standing atop "The Jungles of Heaven." At the bottom, lying by the "River Called Hate," is the tomb containing Lucifer; slightly above "The Gulfs of Silence" is his harp, from which issues "The Flame of Lucifer's Singing," which extends to heaven. Other symbols include "The Palace of Eve," "The Soul of a Butterfly" (Beauty), and a spider (Mammon). Lindsay also had a vision of his ideal bride, whom he called Psyche or Eve or Lady Romance. His tendency to idealize women, combined with his naďveté and his father's stern warnings against sex, may have contributed to his tendency to form one-sided romantic attachments that failed to develop into anything beyond infatuation.
On 23 and 24 March 1905 Lindsay had copies of two poems printed and tried to sell them on the streets of New York. These evenings spent peddling his poetry set the pattern for much of his career as a self-fashioned troubadour or wandering poet. His wandering began in earnest when he set sail for Florida on 3 March 1906 to begin the first of his tramps. Starting from Jacksonville, he walked through Georgia, the Carolinas, Kentucky, and home to Springfield. To pay his way, he gave recitals and lectures and sold copies of his poems. Shortly after his return home in June, he accompanied his family to Europe. On the night of 4 September, as the ship neared New York, he had a vision of Christ singing in Heaven. Between 10 November and Christmas he wrote "I Heard Immanuel Singing," expressing his millennerian vision.
On 21 April 1907 Lindsay left New York and set out on foot to Springfield. In August 1908 he lectured on race at the YMCA after witnessing race riots in Springfield, and in 1909 he lectured on behalf of the Anti-Saloon League. On 19 July 1909 he published at his own expense the first of five War Bulletins, which attacked greed, urbanization, and race prejudice. The third contained "The Creed of a Beggar," in which he declared himself a believer "in Christ the Socialist." The fourth, a collection of poems called The Tramp's Excuses, was published in September, and the fifth appeared in November.
From 1909 to 1912 Lindsay remained at home writing. In 1910 he published several hundred copies of The Village Magazine, consisting largely of editorials, with some poems and newspaper clippings, which brought him his first public notice when it was reviewed by Current Literature. Hamlin Garland, then a well-known novelist, ordered a copy and invited Lindsay to Chicago to address his club, the Cliff Dwellers, which he founded for regional writers, artists, and professional men.
On 29 May 1912 Lindsay set out on his most ambitious tramp, planning to walk to Los Angeles, then to Seattle, and back to Springfield, again carrying copies of his work to trade. He abandoned his plan in New Mexico and took a train to Los Angeles, where he spent a month writing "General William Booth Enters into Heaven," a tribute to the founder of the Salvation Army. The poem, which was set to music by Charles Ives in 1914, celebrates, with a vulgar pietism, Booth's militant Christianity in hectic rhythms derived from the hymn "The Blood of the Lamb." In the first part Booth leads a procession of outcasts into heaven where, in the second part, Christ heals them, followed by a chorus of celebration. This poem brought him instant fame when Harriet Monroe published it as the lead piece in the fourth issue of Poetry in January 1913. The Review of Reviews praised it as "perhaps the most remarkable poem of a decade." In his column for Harper's, William Dean Howells called it a "fine brave poem." Monroe was loyal in her devotion to Lindsay, and she was largely responsible for his association with Edgar Lee Masters, Carl Sandburg, and the Chicago renaissance. She saw to it that a $100 prize was given him for "General Booth" after Ezra Pound persuaded her that the first prize be given to William Butler Yeats for "The Grey Rock." Yeats himself praised "General Booth" as a poem "stripped bare of ornament." In the fall of 1913 Mitchell Kennerley published Lindsay's first book, General William Booth Enters into Heaven and Other Poems.
Lindsay's second most famous poem, "The Congo," was inspired by a sermon preached in October 1913 that detailed the drowning of a missionary in the Congo River. On 1 March 1914 he recited the poem at the Poetry banquet in Chicago, where Yeats and Sandburg were in attendance. Lindsay's recitations were the basis of his fame. He would rock on his feet and pump his arms as he shouted and sang his poems. Lindsay dubbed these compositions "the Higher Vaudeville," poems written in "a sort of ragtime manner that deceives them [his audience] into thinking they are at a vaudeville show." He wanted to bring poetry to the masses via his mix of song and oratory. Although the "Higher Vaudeville" makes up only a small portion of an oeuvre that includes nine books of poetry, five prose works, and numerous short stories and articles, Lindsay is remembered almost entirely for these two compositions and "The Chinese Nightingale," "The Santa Fé Trail" (which includes a blaring chorus of automobile horns), "Bryan, Bryan, Bryan, Bryan," and "The Kallyope Yell." Perhaps Lindsay summed up his career best when he wrote, "By that very act [the Higher Vaudeville] I persuaded the tired businessman to listen at last. But lo, my tiny reputation as a writer seemed wiped out by my new reputation as an entertainer." This remark reveals Lindsay's didactic aims as well as his appeal to middle-class men and women at a time when people in every American city formed business and women's clubs and arranged luncheons for the purpose of attaining culture. For the remainder of his life Lindsay struggled with the demand for his performances, his pleasure in giving them, and his knowledge that they took time away from his work. But the lure of the enthusiastic crowds and the never-ending need for money demanded that he maintain a life on the road.
In February 1914 Lindsay met Sara Teasdale in St. Louis following a period of correspondence. Together they traveled to New York, where he met William Rose Benét, Stephen Vincent Benét, Joyce Kilmer, Floyd Dell, Witter Bynner, Louis Untermeyer, Theodore Dreiser, and Upton Sinclair. In September Macmillan published Lindsay's second book, The Congo and Other Poems. The same month Kennerley published Adventures While Preaching the Gospel of Beauty, a prose account of Lindsay's tramps. In November 1914, while in Springfield, he read of Teasdale's engagement to a shoe manufacturer whom she married in December. He wrote to Harriet Moody that Teasdale was "the most intimate friend I had had for years and the best understander," and the news of her marriage left him feeling "baffled" and "rather empty and puzzled."
In February 1915 Lindsay recited before Woodrow Wilson's cabinet. He received the Levinson prize for "The Chinese Nightingale," published by Poetry in November 1915. At this time also, upon the recommendation of Macmillan, he dropped "Nicholas" from his name. In the same year Lindsay received invitations to meet Jane Addams, Henry Ford, and D. W. Griffith. The Art of the Moving Picture (1915), Lindsay's classification and judgment of films, is notable for recognizing film's potential not only as an art, but as a medium for propaganda and cultural formation; the book closes with a prediction of an American millennium ushered in by movies.
Lindsay undertook extensive tours of the United States from 1916 through 1918, the year his father died. In January 1920 he published The Golden Whales of California and Other Rhymes in the American Language, which includes several poems inspired by Alexander Campbell. Now at the height of his fame, Lindsay undertook a tour of England, reading at Oxford, where he met Robert Bridges and Robert Graves, and at Cambridge and in London. He was well received and praised by The Observer (London) as "easily the most important living American poet." However, Lindsay's reputation began a precipitous decline with the publication of his utopian prose work, The Golden Book of Springfield (1920). The book opens in 1920 with a gathering of the "Prognosticators' Club," which consists, among others, of a Campbellite minister, a Jewish boy, a black woman, and a skeptic, who offer a vision of Springfield in 2018 in prose derived from such varied sources as the Bible, Swedenborg, and Marx. Although Lindsay continued to receive praise from English critics, American critics and readers dismissed him as tedious and incomprehensible. Opinion since has not changed.
Despite his desire to quit touring, Lindsay's financial difficulties required that he continue to earn money by giving recitals. His popularity with audiences did not abate despite the bad reviews. In 1921 he received an honorary degree from Mills College in Oakland, California, and delivered the Phi Beta Kappa poem at the Harvard commencement in 1922, the year of his mother's death. In January 1923, while in Mississippi for a recital at Gulf Park Junior College for Girls, he collapsed and was forced to cancel the remainder of his tour. He stayed in Gulf Park to teach contemporary poetry until July 1924. While there he began to suffer delusions of persecution that continued until his death.
In June 1924 Lindsay went to the Mayo Foundation in Rochester, Minnesota, where he was diagnosed as epileptic. In July 1924 he moved to Spokane, Washington, where he met Elizabeth Conner, a 23-year-old high school teacher. They married in 1925 and had two children. Suffering from paranoid delusions and spurred by resentment toward his audiences, Lindsay was given to sudden outbursts of rage at public functions, but his deteriorating financial situation forced him to go on tour in 1926.
A long tour, from October 1928 through March 1929, erased his debts but left him penniless. His financial burden was alleviated by a $500 prize awarded by Poetry in recognition of his life's work, but his reputation continued its decline. His family life also declined; he had delusions of persecution and unfounded suspicions of his wife's infidelity. Continuous money-raising tours were interrupted by brief visits at home. In 1930 he was made Doctor Honoris Causa by Hiram College, but his mental health continued to decline, and he threatened his wife and children with violence. On 5 December 1931 he committed suicide at home by drinking Lysol. His doctor decided that Lindsay's death should be reported as heart failure, and it was announced as such in the Springfield paper.
Drafts and proofs of published and unpublished works, along with juvenilia, scrapbooks, letters, and personal possessions, are in the Vachel Lindsay Collection, Clifton Waller Barrett Library, University of Virginia. Major collections of his correspondence are in the Harriet Monroe Collection and the Harriet Moody Collection, University of Chicago; at Hiram College; and at the Vachel Lindsay Home in Springfield. The Teasdale-Lindsay correspondence is at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University. The best edition of his correspondence, which includes a useful chronology of his life, is Letters of Vachel Lindsay, ed. Marc Chénetier (1979). The Collected Poems (1923; rev. ed., 1925) has been superseded by The Poetry of Vachel Lindsay, ed. Dennis Camp (1984), a two-volume edition of his complete poetry and his accompanying drawings, along with a third volume of notes, Lindsay's prefaces, letters pertaining to his poetry, and a title index. Camp also edited the first of a two-volume edition of Lindsay's published prose along with drawings, The Prose of Vachel Lindsay (1988).
Important works by Lindsay not mentioned in the text are The Chinese Nightingale and Other Poems (1917); The Daniel Jazz and Other Poems (1920); The Candle in the Cabin: A Weaving Together of Script and Singing (1926); Going-to-the-Stars (1926); Johnny Appleseed (1928); Every Soul Is a Circus (1929); Seleted Poems, ed. Hazelton Spencer (1931), and ed. Mark Harris (1963); and The Litany of Washington Street (1929).
The first full-length biography, Vachel Lindsay, a Poet in America (1935), written by Edgar Lee Masters at the family's request, has been superseded by Mark Harris, The City of Discontent: An Interpretative Biography of Vachel Lindsay (1952), and Eleanor Ruggles, The West-going Heart: A Life of Vachel Lindsay (1959). Two more recent efforts to resuscitate Lindsay's literary reputation are Balz Engler, Poetry and Community (1990), and Ann Massa, Vachel Lindsay: Fieldworker for the American Dream (1970). Massa's is the best scholarly work on Lindsay, one that attempts to revise his reputation by presenting him as an eclectic but insightful writer on art and society. It also contains a useful bibliography of primary and secondary material.

(AP)—Brazil has become the first country outside Russia to host part of that nation's satellite navigation system, which is known as Glonass.
The Brazilian Space Agency says Tuesday on its website that the system is similar to the Global Positioning System of the United States.
The agency and its Russian counterpart Roscosmos will operate the system installed at the University of Brasilia.
Glonass uses 24 satellites to provide navigation services worldwide.
The website quotes space agency president Jose Raimundo Coelho as saying the "partnership will help prepare qualified Brazilian professionals and give the Russians a more efficient system."
He says the Glonass system can also be used by the university to conduct aerospace and biomedical research.

Italy 10-42 New Zealand, Rome, November 17
All Blacks ease past Italy
November 17, 2012
New Zealand dispatched Italy%]
New Zealand beat Italy 42-10 in Rome on Saturday but they were made to work hard for their eventual easy win.
The All Blacks led only 13-7 at half-time, with Kieran Read's try drawing an Italian response through Alberto Sgarbi. But second-half tries by Ma'a Nonu, Cory Jane and two for Julian Savea gave the scoreline a lop-sided look as Italy's resistance dissipated in the final quarter.
New Zealand had to wait 13 minutes for their first points, which came courtesy of Aaron Cruden's close-range penalty. But their first try followed soon afterwards when a fast-flowing move ended with Conrad Smith scooping up a loose ball and sending number eight Read over. Cruden converted and soon added his second penalty.
A promising position for Italy slipped away when Mirco Bergamasco could not find Tommaso Benvenuti but they came again and their pack set up a first Test try for centre Sgarbi. Luciano Orquera converted. A crucial tackle from Bergamasco, helped by Simone Favaro, prevented Hosea Gear going over in the corner as Italy stayed in touch at the interval.
But a deliberate knockdown after a brave goal-line stand allowed Cruden to extend the lead five minutes after the restart and wonderful passing then sent Nonu barrelling over for his side's second try. Cruden's routine kick made it 23-7.
The Azzurri enjoyed a spell of attacking field position and Orquera's drop-goal took them into double figures.But as they sought to build up a head of steam, their handling became sloppy and knock-ons twice checked their momentum.
And having battled so hard, they allowed replacement Jane to stroll in far too easily and put New Zealand out of reach at 30-10 with 11 minutes to go. Luke McLean was credited with first contact on a bouncing ball to deny Cruden a try but Savea dived over in the left corner shortly afterwards, despite losing a boot in the build-up. Cruden missed for the first time but strong running from Jane sent left-winger Savea coasting in behind a tired defence for a converted score to make it 42-10.

Every day, Doris McGonagle laces up her sneakers and takes her beloved Shih-tzu, Dewey, out for a four-mile walk around Chestnut Hill. The retired teacher used to travel the same route she and her father followed when she was little: starting at their Ardleigh Street home and then looping up to the first driveway of Norwood Fontbonne Academy. But since Dewey came into her life, she varies her walk and leaves when the dog sits up and bats her on the knee.
A lot has changed in the 65 years McGonagle has lived in Chestnut Hill. The longtime resident will take those memories with her when she moves in the coming weeks to be closer to her sister's family near Boston.
"It's hard, but I know all the people in my sister's area; my nieces are there, and they're like my grandchildren," said McGonagle, 74. "It's going to be sad and happy at the same time. There's no place in the world like Chestnut Hill."
The oldest of seven children, McGonagle grew up in her 100-year-old, three-bedroom Ardleigh Street row home, first purchased by her grandmother in 1938. For years she lived there with her father, who worked at Standard Pressed Steel Co. in Jenkintown for 20 years, her mother, who worked for an answering service and held various jobs, and her aunt, uncle and their daughter.
"Times were very hard," she said. "There was a backlash from the Depression." McGonagle's earliest memories of the neighborhood include ice skating on the pond at Pastorius Park, stuffing socks into her skates to make them fit and warming herself by the fire, and participating in gymnastics, dance and games at the nearby Water Tower Recreation Center.
"The teachers were wonderful. If you misbehaved, you couldn't come back for two weeks," she said. "The playground was so safe, you could leave your gloves, hats, bike or wagon, and they'd be right where you left them."
McGonagle remembers being treated well as a child by the shop owners on Germantown Avenue, even though she was rarely buying. One of the ladies who worked at Bredenbeck's, which was located farther up the hill, took the time to put red cinnammon hearts on the cake she bought for her mother. She frequented a former five-and-dime store near the Chestnut Hill West train station and former Foster's Dry Goods store at the corner of Willow Grove and Germantown avenues, which she thought had the best soda fountain, booths and ice cream in the area.
When her father and four uncles went off to World War II, McGonagle remembers the owner of the then-Hilton's Pharmacy saying, '"You tell you mother if she needs something, come see me.' There was always somebody coming home and going."
While the still-surviving Kilian's Hardware and Robertson's Flowers were there, a few things looked different on Germantown Avenue. There were gas lights in front of Jenks Elementary School, and the Bell Telephone Building used to house a movie theater. A visitor could see news clips, cartoons and a double feature for 16 cents, she said. McGonagle had a thing for cowboy movies.
"My father was strict. He had a sense of humor, but you didn't always see it," she said. "He'd pick us up from church and drive cowboy-style (swerving back and forth), just for half a block. Then he was back to normal."
McGonagle walked up the hill everyday to school at Our Mother of Consolation and visited the Chestnut Hill Library on the way home. To travel to high school at Little Flower Catholic, she rode the trolley, which then held a conductor in the middle. She commuted to her job as a complaint adjuster for Curtis Publishing Co. at 6th and Sansom streets and to the Flourtown Country Club, where she worked as a bookkeeper and collected tickets for parties. That was before she went on to teach elementary school for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for 33 years.
In her 20s, Doris left Chestnut Hill to live in Cleveland and then Baltimore, and while married, lived in Wyndmoor. Her husband, who was originally from Ireland, died a year-and-a-half later of a heart attack at age 37. McGonagle never remarried. "He was just like Germantown Avenue, one of a kind," she said.
Feeling drawn back home, McGonagle returned to Ardleigh Street in 1994. The memories and neighbors on the street are what she'll miss the most. Like when her grandmother wanted to talk to neighbors without the children understanding, she'd speak Gaelic. Or that time she sat up all night on the porch talking to her best friend, who lived next door; or how her parents liked to throw big parties and feed friends and neighbors on holidays or whenever they could.
"We'd head to bed and say, 'Good night, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. In the morning we'd come down and say, 'Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Smith," she said. "I miss the time we spent around the kitchen and dining room table with family and friends."
McGonagle got a glimpse of that recently as dozens of Ardleigh Street neighbors gathered to say goodbye. "She's the nicest neighbor I've ever had," resident Liz Trainer said.
"Doris is the epitome of a great neighbor," said Patricia Conran, "with always a big hello and a watchful eye to make sure everything was secure on our street. My family will miss seeing her friendly face strolling down Ardleigh Street."
McGonagle said that while neighbors may not know each other as they used to, there is still a strong sense of community here.
"It's all part of the fabric of Chestnut Hill, just the kindness of one person to another. They don't have to know you. They've seen you. It's a good feeling."

Well I guess the importing; outsourcing pain has come home to roost so to speak. Recalls of our children's toys are on the rise. It seems that toys coming in from China are tainted to say the least. Lead had been the big worry but now your kids might be ingesting the date rape drug GHB. What's next we will have an influx of wonder woman dolls that are the heroin instead of heroine. The only people we have to blame are ourselves for allowing our lawmakers to sanction exporting all of our manufacturing to China and elsewhere.
Yet this is not a phenomenon that will happen over and over since we are in such a consumer driven society. We are out buying our children every little bobble that catches their eye. Never has society as a whole been so seduced by materialism. And it is this materialism that is making our kids sick, brain damaged and dead. The amount of name brand garbage that is pushed on kids from the moment they are old enough to set eyes on the television numbers in the millions. From Dora the Explorer to Elmo, our kids are bombarded like being in a game of dodge ball.
All I see and hear from magazines and mothering shows is everything that you need to buy for your baby, child, pre-teen, teen and young adult. I receive a popular baby magazine and one of the feature stories is baby must haves. It is just a large advertisement for all the unnecessary items that all the different companies are pushing. Yet the one thing that you don't see is stories that feature items made in the US because that would be few.
The latest toy recall is the Aqua Dots which allows kids to stick dots together using water making fun shapes and pictures. Well it seems that if the kid ingests the Aqua Dots they will turn into GHB through a weird chemical reaction in the body. The children that have ingested these have either gone into a coma or died. The list for these recalled toys is probably longer than Santa Claus's list. There are all manners of toys on the list from baby beds due to lead to older kids building sets.
Is our relationship with the Chinese toy manufacturers more important than our children that our own government won't shut this obvious hazardous situation down? Because it seems to me that these companies who have their manufacturing going on over seas should be getting fined. But, I have always felt that if a company wants to bypass American workers so they can go cheap and dangerous they should be fined to bring that crap back into the country. I understand that this is extremely controversial but we are effectively un-employing American's in order to maximize profits.

Media 2006
|Statement: December 21, 2006

|Docket No: RP07-34-000
Chairman Joseph T. Kelliher's statement on Panhandle Complainants v. Southwest Gas Storage Company
"I called this order to discuss the general approach to natural gas pipeline and storage rates reflected in this order, and steps we are taking to support complainants.
In this case, storage customers filed a complaint that Southwest Gas Storage was earning unjust and unreasonable rates for storage service. We set the complaint for hearing.
As a general matter, I prefer to rely on complaints to address gas rates outside of section 4 rate proceedings. That is how we proceed with respect to electric rates, and I think it is the correct course on gas rates as well.
However, if we are going to rely on complaints to review gas rates outside of section 4 rate cases, it is necessary that complainants have access to public information that proves to be a sufficient basis for a complaint. In a section 5 proceeding, the complainant has the burden of proof. It is necessary they have access to the information they need to meet that burden.
Form 2 provides public information on gas rates. In all likelihood, a section 5 complaint would be based on Form 2 data. In other cases, such as National Fuel earlier this year, pipelines have challenged section 5 complaints based on Form 2 data, arguing that Form 2 data is an insufficient basis for a section 5 complaint. We rejected that argument.
In my view, it is absolutely necessary that Form 2 data prove to be a sufficient basis for section 5 complaints. That was our holding in National Fuel. However, the fact that this defense is even raised is disturbing. I believe the time has come to revisit Form 2 and assure that it provides the data complainants need. If Form 2 is inadequate in any respect, we must strengthen it.
The Commission has been conducting a review of Form 2 data, examining the breadth of data collected by the form and assessing the need for clarifications, corrections, deletions, or additional information. I expect that we will soon take steps to strengthen Form 2, in order to improve the ability of complainants to meet their burden under section 5."

High-resolution (600 dpi) scans of the map and photograph(s) used by Luftwaffe bomber pilots during WW2 air-raids on Newmarket
In the early 1940s, the German Luftwaffe planned a bombing campaign against British towns and cities, including Newmarket.
To enable Luftwaffe bomber aircrew identify their targets from the air during the raids on each town or city, the pilots and bomb-aimers were issued with a set of a map and half-tone aerial photograph(s) of the area to be attacked.
2 pages (shown below) were issued to bomber aircrew going on missions over Newmarket.
Used in air-raids over the target town or city: Every image was captioned to assist in navigation, positioning and target identification purposes during the raids themselves and the photo-document sets were issued to Luftwaffe bomber aircrew with the instructions Zum Verbrauch! Mitnahme von Ausschnitten des Bildteiles zum Feindflug gestattet (To be used! Take these photographs with you on raids).
Originals of these sets are now very rarely found. However, we can supply high-resolution (600 dpi) scans of each page in JPG format at Ł6 per page for self-printing in any size you want.
High-resolution scans: This page lists high-resolution scans available as jpgs.

Stealth warship INS Satpura joins navy
14 comments:
Ajai sir, are you sure that it is 24 Klub missiles. Actually it is generally thought that it is 8.
Any info on P-15A commissioning?
- 21 August 2011 at 09:18
Hey Shivalik class carries only 8 Klub Missiles but you have mentioned 24 and you have not mentioned about the Surface to Air Missile....
Plz state the status P15A...!!!
- 21 August 2011 at 09:25
hmmm... no pics of vls.
In a previous post on satpura you mentioned it has a 257 crew complement. Does that mean these are deputed in batches on rotation or does the ship need 257 crew to run it every time it sails.
- 21 August 2011 at 12:52
- 21 August 2011 at 16:06
Even though your a thin-skined cry baby at times, you right some damned fine articles and are one of the better defense journos from that part of the world.
Well done.
- 21 August 2011 at 16:10
Thanks Ajaiji.
Any news on P-15A?
- 21 August 2011 at 17:07
- joydeep ghosh said...
@Ajai sir
I have a few queries would like answers to them
1. first a typo, you said 'i.e. in Project 15B (four destroyers) and Project 1A (seven frigates).' it should read 17A.
2a. You mentioned it carries 24 Klub missiles, where is the space?
2b. You say Brahmos can be carried only on destroyers, if indeed this ship carries 24 Klub missiles will it not be good to replace 12 of them with 12 Brahmos?
3. You say indigenous content on this ship is 60%, is it that difficult to indigenously manufacture the OTO Melara main gun in India since we are assembling these guns on Indian warships for close to 3 decades now?
4. Last time when I asked how bigger the frigates will go? you said at the moment Project 17A ships are expected to be similar to these 3 ships, any updates on that?
5. Last heard total number of Project 17 +17A ships will be 12, 5 under Project 17 and 7 under Project 17A. can you update on correct numbers.
6. Will there be project 17 B?
hope to get the answers
Joydeep Ghosh
- 21 August 2011 at 17:54
I am quite curious... 24 klub missiles? I thought it had 8..
- 21 August 2011 at 18:52
- Broadsword said...
@ Ravi
I have mentioned the Barak...
@ Anonymous
Thx. Not "thin-skinned cry baby", but "do not suffer fools gladly"!
@ Anonymous 09:18
Project 15-A's first vessel, the INS Kolkata, is likely to take a year more. Look for it in the fourth quarter of 2012.
@ Joydeep
We have been manufacturing the Otomelara for many years now.
Project 17A will have broadly the same specs as Project 17. There will be three ships in Project 17 and seven ships in Project 17A.
- 21 August 2011 at 19:39
Sir did you confuse with 24 Kub surface to air missiles with KLUB missiles..!!!
- 21 August 2011 at 19:40
Does not much smaller Talwar class carry Brahmos like INS TEg and follow on?
- 21 August 2011 at 19:46
The missile loadout is 24 Shtil SAM and 8 Klub if I am not mistaken. Easy enough to confuse.
- 21 August 2011 at 22:49
- Broadsword said...
Sorry, folks, the confusion came from the Defence PR handout, which put the Klub missile loadout at 24. In fact, as so many of you have written in.... it is 8.
- 22 August 2011 at 08:13
- the indian said...
sir ,
there are 8 klub missiles
32 barak or zenith missiles
24 9M317 missiles (Buk missile system derivative )SAM

Local elections are held once every three years. The elections are for city and district councils, regional councils and District Health Boards. In some parts of New Zealand, elections will also be held for local and community boards, licensing trusts and some other organisations. The Electoral Commission does not run these elections, but is responsible for voter enrolment.
All local elections are held by postal vote. Voting papers are posted to all voters who are enrolled about a month before voting starts. You must be enrolled to vote in local elections.
Only people who are correctly enrolled will receive their voting papers in the mail. Enrol, check and update your details here. You can find out more about enrolling to vote here.
Who can vote in the local elections?
Anyone who is correctly enrolled can vote in the local elections where they live.
Also, voters who own property within a local council area, but who usually live outside this, can apply to go on the ratepayer roll. They will then be able to vote in the area where they pay rates, and the area where they live.
To go on the ratepayer roll, you need to apply to the electoral officer for the local council area in which you own property but do not usually live. The electoral officer will send you out a form to complete, sign and return so they can check your eligibility.
If you are registered on the unpublished roll, you will need to apply to the electoral officer at your local council to receive your voting papers.
Overseas voters can take part, but must ensure that they are correctly enrolled with an overseas postal address in order to receive their voting papers. Voting papers for local elections cannot be downloaded.
Who runs the local elections?
There are a number of organisations involved in delivering local elections. Most of the work is done by local councils themselves.
Other relevant organisations include:
The Department of Internal Affairs
The Local Government Commission
Local Government New Zealand
Ministry of Health
The Electoral Commission's role in the 2016 local elections is to ensure that the electoral roll is up to date and provided to each local council.

P.J.'s Auto World offers a wide range of services that include selling, consigning, locating, financing, and shipping worldwide. With as little as 20 percent down and low interest rates, just about anyone can make their dream a reality! And, shipping is also easily arranged at a very modest cost.
Classic and Muscle Cars are fun to own and drive! The remarkable thing about purchasing a Classic, Convertible, or Collectible vehicle is that unlike many late model vehicles that tend to quickly depreciate, Classics are rapidly appreciating between 15 and 25 percent annually! Several leading financial articles suggest Americans should invest in Real Estate and Classic Cars, as they're not making more of either ! In 2003, P.J.'s expanded to better serve their customers and opened a second Classic Car Showroom also located in Clearwater, Florida.
P.J.'s Auto World has an excellent selection of vehicles available from an ever changing inventory, featuring thoroughbred sports cars, classic convertibles, vintage collectibles, and fun to drive automobiles for all tastes. Should your needs be for a late model vehicle? We can provide everything from utility to luxury automobiles, domestic and imported vehicles.
P.J.'s Auto World offers visitors and Classic Enthusiasts a chance to step back in time, and walk down memory lane. Visit us, and you will see why we are the Classic Car store built on old fashioned values. Until then. Happy Cruising!

When TiPb posted on Mplayit, being a huge iPhone and Facebook fan, I decided to take a closer look and here's what I found -- Mplayit takes browsing and buying iPhone apps to a whole new level. Mplayit is an application on facebook, or a website on your iPhone, that allows you to find apps, read a description, rating and an iTunes link to download them. Sound familiar? There's more, Mplayit not only does these things well, but also gives you YouTube videos of apps and ways to share the app. In facebook you can share on your wall or send a message. There are also links to share via Twitter or email. On the iPhone, you can share via the mail app.
Apps can also be added to Mplayit's "collections" feature. Simply click the add to my collection link on your favorite app. Mplayit will also "learn" over time what apps to recommend to you based on what you add to your collection. You can search for apps by typing the name in the search box, or you can choose to look at apps based on category.
I am very excited about this new way to browse apps for your iPhone. The added value of video and wide array of sharing options along with collections make this one compelling alternative to the iTunes app store.
Have friends that don't have an iPhone? That's ok, word on the street says that Mplayit will be launching soon on BlackBerry and Android platforms. Check out the screenshots below for examples of the desktop app and iPhone webpage. You can read more about Mplayit on their corporate site, or on Twitter.

Tibetan Literature
Studies in Genre
This eBook is available from the following online stores
Tibetan Literature addresses the immense variety of Tibet's literary heritage. An introductory essay by the editors attempts to assess the overall nature of 'literature' in Tibet and to understand some of the ways in which it may be analyzed into genres. The remainder of the book contains articles by nearly thirty scholars from America, Europe, and Asia—each of whom addresses an important genre of Tibetan literature. These articles are distributed among eight major rubrics: two on history and biography, six on canonical and quasi-canonical texts, four on philosophical literature, four on literature on the paths, four on ritual, four on literary arts, four on non-literary arts and sciences, and two on guidebooks and reference works.
News & Reviews
"An outstanding introduction to the panorama of literary arts in Tibet. Everyone with interest in this civilization should study these essays in which the true wealth of Tibetan intellectual life becomes clear—an excellent contribution to the field." —Dr. Ronald Davidson, Fairfield University Director of Asian Studies

Your interiors mix modern and vintage pieces. Do you take the same approach to fashion?
I'm not much of a vintage clothing person — the fit just isn't right. But I shop for furniture and clothing in the same way. I'm looking for quality, value, proper scale, and the ability to work well with other pieces. I avoid shopping at mass merchandizers for clients, and I do the same with fashion.
How do you dress for work?
One minute I'm meeting with clients, and the next I'm on a construction site in a hard hat. I'm lucky if I'm wearing jeans and one of my 35 pairs of Converse, but I've soiled quite a few suits with drywall.
Converse? What kinds?

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — No. 5 Yale will begin the 2013-14 season this Friday with matches against No. 18 Amherst and No. 15 Williams. Coming off a strong showing in the Ivy Scrimmages, the Bulldogs hope to begin the regular season with two victories.
Amherst finished last season with a 14-9 overall record 15th in the country and fifth in the NESCAC. After graduating its top two players from last season, the team will look for contributions from its younger members, including a large sophomore class that saw significant playing time as freshman last year. The Jeffs began their season Nov. 15 with a 9-0 defeat of Northeastern.
Yale will face Williams, who finished second in the NESCAC and 13th in the nation last season, in its second match of the day. Although the Ephs graduated four of their top nine from last season, Williams' younger players have quickly gained match experience. The team has already played 8 matches, posting a 4-4 record. Williams began the season with four straight wins before dropping its next four matches, including losses to No. 7 Stanford, No. 4 Princeton and No. 3 Penn, whom Yale defeated 7-2 at the Ivy Scrimmages.
This weekend's matchups will be Yale's only contests this month. The season resumes after winter break, with the Bulldogs scheduled to face No. 13 Franklin & Marshall and No. 14 Drexel on Jan. 8.

Some San Franciscans rioted after the Giants won the Major League Baseball championship. The local chief prosecutor wants to avoid a similar outcome.
"What occurred during the World Series cannot be tolerated again," District Attorney George Gascón said, via KCBS.
In late October 2012, 36 were arrested, and 14 of them were charged. Some face 25 years to life because of the three-strike felony rule in California.
"The consequences for going out there, hurting someone, damaging property, are very severe and there is no need for that to occur," Gascón said.
And in this post-Orwellian era in which Big Brother is not only the government but also the governed, evidence generated by members of the public will be used against any offenders.
"Certainly we will be looking for that information through the Internet, so whatever you do out there, understand that there are many witnesses and the information today is captured electronically," Gascón said.
Rioting is possible in San Francisco and Baltimore, regardless of who wins or loses. We recommend practices that will cause folks to be more relaxed. And we trust that folks in California will come up with something.
Given that Michael Phelps hails from Baltimore, they'll be able to find a way to mellow their emotions, too.

Highlights - US $5.8 million survey contract delivered in less than 4 months - Balance of US $2.8 million progress bills scheduled for payment on December 31
- US $5.8 million survey contract delivered in less than 4 months
- Balance of US $2.8 million progress bills scheduled for payment on December 31
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Dec. 18, 2012) - NXT Energy Solutions Inc. ("NXT" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SFD)(OTCBB:NSFDF) announces completion of its US $5.8 million SFD® aerial survey contract with Petrolēos Mexicanos ("PEMEX"), the National Oil Company of Mexico, and the 4th largest exploration & production company in the world.
Shortly after its commencement, the value of the PEMEX project was expanded in September from US $4.7 million to US $5.8 million. NXT completed delivery to PEMEX of its findings and recommendations report in Mexico in early December, and thereafter commenced the data "Integration" portion of the contract. Certain areas covered by the SFD® survey already had 2-D and/or 3-D seismic data and/or existing full-tensor gravity gradiometer ("FTG") coverage and PEMEX designed the survey flights to provide adequate SFD® coverage over these areas. Data integration of seismic, gravity and other geological and geophysical data with NXT's SFD® data is currently being finalized with PEMEX in Mexico.
NXT has now invoiced the remaining balances due on the US $5.8 million project, with final payments to NXT totaling US $2.8 million scheduled to occur on December 31, 2012.
"I am proud of our rapid delivery of the PEMEX project, our largest single contract to date" noted George Liszicasz, NXT's President and CEO. "We have worked diligently with PEMEX personnel in our Calgary office and with PEMEX in Mexico to complete this significant project, from data Acquisition through Interpretation and Integration, in under 4 months. NXT ends 2012 as a record revenue year and is well positioned financially for a solid start to 2013, and will be looking to further expand our customer base and revenues in 2013".
NXT is a Calgary based company whose proprietary airborne Stress Field Detection ("SFD®") survey system provides a survey method that can be used both onshore and offshore to remotely identify areas with exploration potential for traps and reservoirs. The SFD® survey system enables our clients to focus their hydrocarbon exploration decisions concerning land commitments, data acquisition expenditures and prospect prioritization on areas with the greatest potential. SFD® is environmentally friendly and unaffected by ground security issues or difficult terrain, and is the registered trademark of NXT Energy Solutions Inc. NXT provides its clients with an effective and reliable method to reduce time, costs, and risks related to exploration.

A Sandwich a Day: Roast Beef at Dave's Hoagies, a Philly Sandwich Standout in the Financial District
A new sandwich every day.
In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Dave's Hoagies opened a month ago in the Financial District and their sandwiches are—excuse us—money.
Tips and tricks for making the best sandwiches at home.
The roast beef ($11.50) is built on soft, dense bread custom baked at Parisi Bakery. It has the perfect dense crumb and slight crust to withstand the juices that collect there. Most of these come from "the works," a smattering of shredded romaine, sliced tomato (we'll wait unitl summer for those), shaved red onion, roasted red peppers, chopped cherry peppers, diced artichokes, and a shake of parmesan cheese. Each sandwich gets provolone and a spread of "Dave's famous hoagie sauce," which is a thick balsamic vinaigrette that adds another layer to the massive hoagie.
Despite the meaty artichokes, sweet roasted reds, spicy cherry peppers, tangy vinaigrette, and salty cheeses, the delicate roast beef is the star of the show. It's tender, lightly seasoned so as to not take away from the "the works," and layered onto the sandwich with a generous hand.
Dave's has four other sandwiches on the menu. We'll be back soon.

BALDWIN PARK - Caltrans announced today that it has completed the reconstruction of the Baldwin Park Boulevard Bridge in order to accommodate new carpool lanes that are being built on the San Bernardino Freeway (Interstate 10).
"Carpool lanes are one of the most effective tools we have to fight traffic congestion," said Acting Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. "This project will provide continuous carpool lanes stretching nearly 35 miles from downtown Los Angeles to San Bernardino County."
The new $6 million bridge, a major thoroughfare in Baldwin Park, is wider and has been seismically retrofitted to better withstand an earthquake.
The bridge is part of a larger $169 million project that is partially funded ($66 million) by Proposition 1B, the 2006 voter-approved transportation bond. The project is adding four miles of new carpool lanes on I-10 in Baldwin Park from the San Gabriel Freeway (Interstate 605) to Puente Avenue. This stretch of I-10 is a key commuter and goods movement corridor linking Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire. More than 240,000 vehicles travel the two-mile section daily. The new carpool lanes are projected to carry about 1,300 vehicles (or 3,300 persons) per hour during peak traffic times.
To date, the state has allocated nearly $8 billion in Proposition 1B funds for transportation purposes statewide.

EarthTalk / Fertilizer plant disaster a cautionary tale
Dear EarthTalk: The recent explosion at a West, Texas fertilizer plant that killed many people really alarmed me. Places like this must exist near many communities around the country. How do I know if my own community might be at risk of a similar disaster?
Sarasota, Fla.
Many people may not realize that what happened April 17 in the town of West, Texas -- a fertilizer plant with an unreported large stockpile of explosive ammonium nitrate blew up, killing 14 and rendering hundreds of others injured and homeless -- could happen almost anywhere.
According to Greenpeace, one in three Americans could fall victim to a similar poison gas disaster by virtue of living near upwards of 12,000 plants that store and use highly toxic substances. Greenpeace has identified 483 U.S. facilities where 100,000 people or more would be at risk during a disaster. And one in five of those threatens areas with populations topping one million.
The group would like to see the Obama Administration create new regulations under the Clean Air Act that will require such facilities to prevent chemical disasters by switching to safer alternatives.
On the Greenpeace website, one can use an interactive map to determine whether they live in harms way of a potentially dangerous chemical plant. Each plant on the map is surrounded by a red circle marking its "vulnerability zone," which ranges from less than a mile to 25 miles out, depending on the type and extent of chemicals in use as well as local topography and weather patterns. "Anyone within this zone could potentially be impacted by a toxic chemical release," Greenpeace says. "Impacts could range from minor injury to fatality depending on the chemical involved and the extent of exposure."
(On the Greenpeace map, the nearest plant to Westport is the H. Krevit & Co. Inc. facility in New Haven, 27 miles away.)
Calls by the Department of Homeland Security and Environmental Protection Agency to require the use of safer chemical processes where feasible have fallen on deaf ears among Congressional Republicans loathe to require constituents to pay for costly environmental upgrades. But that could soon change: Senator Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., has introduced a bill that would make negligence regarding chemical reporting a federal crime with consequent harsh penalties.
