Difference between revisions of "Rishikesh"
Revision as of 19:31, 18 August 2013Rishikesh is a small town in the northern state of Uttarakhand in India. Scenically located where the Ganges River comes down from the Himalayas, Rishikesh catapulted to Western fame when the Beatles dropped by for a visit to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram (now closed), and the town is still known as the World Capital of Yoga. Rishikesh is also the Gateway to the Himalayas. The Char Dham Yatra (Four Shrines Sacred Journey) ideally begins from Rishikesh. ContentsUnderstandThe center of town where the train and bus stations can be found is of little interest to most travelers. Further north-east are 2 bridges spanning the Ganges, Ram Jhula [1] and Lakshman Jhula [2], at either end of these bridges are the main hubs of activity and interest. Most accommodation and restaurants can be found near Lakshman Jhula, High Bank and Swarg Ashram. Get inBy planeRishikesh is in close proximity of Dehradun's Jolly Grant Airport a small, quiet and recently renovated airport. The runway is being extended and will possibly then handle flights from other metros. Rishikesh being the closest city to Dehradun Airport, flight is probably the best way to travel. The city is about 15 km from the airport (around 15-20 minutes drive) Flights from New Delhi (DEL) to Dehradun (DED) By carDelhi airport to Rishikesh by car is a good option for a hassle free traveling specially for foreign tourists who are traveling to India for the first time. It's a 6 to 7 hours journey. Prices vary from US$ 85 for an air conditioned compact car to US$ 125 for an air conditioned SUV (but rates are much higher if one avails these services from prepaid taxi booths located at the airport). By trainA quiet branch line connects Rishikesh to Haridwar, but there are only about three slow trains daily. It is better to take the train to Haridwar and continue by bus (45 min, Rs.30), by taxi (30 min, Rs.800) or by shared auto-rickshaw (40 min, Rs.35). However, travelling by train is recommended in peak seasons or during a 'mela' (fair) when bus routes are diverted in Haridwar whereas trains often run empty and the fares are low (just Rs.4 for a passenger train service). You can take share rickshaws (vehicle brand name Vikram) towards Lakshman Jhula (Rs.15) from Rishikesh station. You will have to cross Ram Jhula to reach Swarg Ashram on the other side of river Ganga. There are many trains from Delhi to Haridwar. Some of the better are: Shatabadi Express, Jan Shatabdi, AC Special Express, Mussoorie Express. Travel agents in Swarg Ashram and Lakshman Jhula can book train tickets for onward journeys; much easier than going to Rishikesh railway station to buy a ticket. Some may sell you a ticket from Raiwala, a small stop between Rishikesh and Haridwar, but this station, while closer, is tiny and trains only stop for a few seconds - better to board the train at Haridwar.
Hemkunt Express(14610) 13:25 2A-1055, 3A-735, SL-270
By busFrom Delhi the city is about 230 km away and is well connected with buses. A bus journey may take about 5-7 hours - depending on the traffic - and costs you about Rs 130-350. An AC Bus will cost about Rs 250-700. In Rishikesh, there are several travel agencies scattered around Swarg Ashram and Lakshman Jhula that can book luxury buses to common destinations like Delhi (Rs 250-700), Jaipur, Pushkar and Varanasi. The right time to visit would be February, March, August-October. In July there is a festival called Saavan where thousands of people flock to Rishikesh. Major roads are blocked and hotels are crowded. It is better to avoid travelling to Rishikesh during that time. Get aroundAuto-rickshaws (vikrams) are useful from the bus/train stations to get to either of the bridges (Rs 10) and for the southern side of the Ganges. Swargashram is pretty much pedestrian only, but it's compact and walkable (as is the whole of the town). For other autorickshaw journeys you should expect to pay around Rs 15/km. List of private taxisIf you're going up into the hills or need a taxi a bit later in the evening.
Yoga, of course! It's on offer everywhere, and most styles are represented. Rishikesh considers itself to be the yoga capital of the world. Yoga teacher training is offered several places.
Take a Music class or meditate to live music in Ram Jhula.
BuyAs with most holy cities come tourist destinations there's a plethora of religious paraphernalia, cheap clothing aimed at foreigners, incense, bronze Shiva statues, etc. Unlike many other similar towns in India prices here are usually reasonable and you won't have to haggle hard for a good price.
EatNon-vegetarian food has been banned in the city for many many years. North and south Indian food is widely available, and there's no shortage of multi-cuisine backpacker cafes, especially in Lakshman Jhula. What excites many foreigners is the delicious Ayurvedic and health food restaurants, perfect for an after-yoga meal. Many of the main lanes are lined with wooden push carts selling in-season fruit, veggies, Popcorn, nuts, warm cookies and lots else, and you'll usually be quoted a fair price. The papayas here are particularly delicious. Try the famous Chotiwali Special / Janata or Delux Thali . Once upon a time it used to be an unlimited affair but now due to practical constraints the quantity is limited and extra helpings are charged. There are several eateries offering jalebis, imartis, samosas, and other Indian snacks. If you haven't heard of these before, you should definitely try them out.
in rishikesh near triveni ghat a restaurant named pundit g ka rajasthani restaurant has a very good variety and taste of north indian food.
SleepRishikesh is filled almost entirely with budget hotels, with a few mid-range thrown in for good measure. Good hotels can be found in main Rishikesh city however for backpackers Lakshman Jhula is popular spot, while Swarg Ashram is where the majority of the ashrams are located, and is a nice alternative. There's also a handful of accommodation options in High Bank. It's wise to book ahead in the peak tourist season, and during the Kumbh Mela in neighboring Haridwar. BudgetHotels in this range start as low as Rs 100.
Mid-rangeThere are two Government Tourist Lodges. Their rates range from INR 600 to 2000.
Online booking of both these tourist resorts can be done here: [53]
* Ganges Resort Tourist Complex (0135) 2438651 Rs. 2,500 - 3,500 A Govt of Uttarakhand Undertaking Wind "N" Wave - vegetarian restaurant Stay safeA holy city it may be, but Rishikesh draws more than its fair share of criminals and conmen. Don't walk around alone at night and beware of the motives of sadhus offering one-on-one tutoring. There is also a gem stone hoax going on in at least one gem store: They ask you to bring the stones to your own country to a "buyer" who doesn't exist. Watch where you step:After sundown it is pitch dark, so bring a light. Watch out for the sometimes brash food stealing monkeys too. They mostly "operate" on and around the foot bridges, and if you look them in the eyes they become aggressive, but rarely/never attack unless you carry food. Sadhus and police officers carry sticks to keep monkeys and cows/oxen at a distance. The brown monkeys are aggressive; the grey big languors are nicer. They greys sometimes steal food from tourists (not on the bridges), but mostly because their size scares the tourist, they don't bite you over food matters. Be alert if an ox is on your path: They are mostly harmless, but after dark they are sometimes nervous. Especially on the narrow foot bridges, you should try to read their body language before a close encounter. Try not getting involved with any local guide, whose offering you services.They are mostly con men and goons. Get out

A New Gun
I purchased two new guns recently. First is the Glock 42 (www.weaponhero.com/glock-42-for-sale) that just came out. It's basically the Glock that I've been waiting for…small enough to carry and not be a big bulky piece of metal in my waste band.
The G42 is less than one inch thick and about 6 inches long. It's mostly polymer so it's light weight too. I'm getting a pair of the big dot sights put on it so I have a night sight front and I think the big dot is a bit better for quick target acquisition and perfect for a defensive gun like this. weaponhero.com/glock-42-accessories
The second gun I purchased around Christmas was the GSG 522 22lr rifle. It looks like a sweet HK MP5 however it's only around $350 and has some pretty cool accessories. It came with a 22 round magazine and then I purchased a sweet 110 round drum magazine that looks awesome! I have 110 rounds of 22lr ammo in this thing! Checkout the picture below to see what it looks like. Awesome! You can see more pictures here.
It takes a few minutes to load all the 110 rounds in but it looks so cool and I can shoot a lot before I need to reload.

The Droid is Back
About five years ago Motorola started the Droid line of phones and it has been one of their best selling brands. Android had just started to take shape and the Droid name was perfect and Droid became an almost generic name for android phones.
Moto has made 4 Droid phones each with a slide out keyboard and they also branched out two years ago to sell Droid RAZR phones that basically was a Droid without the physical keyboard. This year They're coming back with three new Droid models for the 2013 holiday season.
The first and main phone is the Droid Ultra, then the Droid Ultra Maxx and last the Droid Ultra Mini. They all have a custom Motorola dual core processor with a quad-core graphics processor and 2GB of RAM.
Learn more and find some cases here at www.droidultracases.com & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droid_Maxx_%26_Ultra
They all three have an awesome looking kevlar back plate and are super thin. The Droid Ultra has a 5″ screen as does the Maxx and the Mini has a 4.3″ screen.
Google's New Phone
Google has been trying to catch up to the iPhone ever since Apple launched it in 2007. They've almost matched the app store and the os and they almost beat the iPhone with the Nexus 4, but that was 2012 and it's 2013 so this means they're giving it one more shot.
Google has recently announced the Moto X phone and it's due out late this summer. It's a super high end phone that will compete with the iPhone, HTC One and the Galaxy S4.
No details as far as the Moto X specs go, but you can bet on all the high end specs for the camera and of course 1080p video recording. It will likely have a quad core processor and Google has said there are lots of cool and special software features not found in any other phones.
More details and info at http://motoxcases.net/
It's up against the great galaxy s4 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4
Tons of new phones
It seems like each year there are more and more smartphones being introduced. Last year 2012 had some amazing phones and phone companies managed to max out the specs of the high end smartphones in terms of the screen resolution at 1080p and the video resolution being able to shoot at 1080p.
What could phone manufactures do in 2013 to make the phones be an improvement over 2012 to sell well? It looks like several things are getting upgraded a couple breakthrough technologies too.
First up is the refreshed processors that are being bumped to quad-core vs dual-core. They're sticking with 2GB of RAM for now which is fine and they're pushing the on board storage to 64GB-128GB…this is actually needed if you take a lot of video at 1080p….it will eat up GBs fast. You can learn more about the new Verizon phones in 2013 here.
All the phone manufactures are working on better camera picture/video quality, software enhancements overall and the high end models are going with either wireless charging or waterproofing.
Unfortunately so far no company in 2013 has focused on one major issue..the BATTERY LIFE. Yes, please triple the battery life so my phone will last a full day of me doing whatever I want on it and not having to worry about it running down.
Sony's Awesome New Android Phone
Sony has been on the sideline over the last few years when it comes to high end smartphones. However, they've recently announced the new Sony Xperia Z and Xperia ZL. These are both running the same quad-core processor and have 2GB of RAM. They also have the same size screen.
The differences are in a couple areas.
The ZL is waterproof for a max of 30 minutes and as you can see by the video below it works well.
The second difference is that the ZL has a removable battery and a physical camera shutter button on the side of the phone that makes taking pictures incredibly fast vs the Z and other smartphones that only have a software shutter release.
The Xperia ZL and Z have different designs and the backs are different.

Health Information for Travelers to KenyaClinician View
Note: Zika virus is a risk in Kenya. Because Zika infection in a pregnant woman can cause serious birth defects, women who are pregnant should not travel to Kenya. All travelers should strictly follow steps to prevent mosquito bites and sexual exposure to Zika virus during and after the trip.
Non-Vaccine-Preventable Diseases
The following diseases are possible risks your patients may face when traveling in Kenya. This list is based on our best available surveillance data and risk assessment information at the time of posting. It is not a complete list of diseases that may be present in a destination. Risks may vary within different areas of a destination.
Patient Counseling
Counsel your patients on actions they can take on their trip to stay healthy and safe.
Counsel travelers to be diligent about food and water precautions:
- Avoid cooked food served at room temperature.
- Avoid raw food, including raw vegetables unless they can be washed thoroughly.
- Drink only beverages from sealed bottles or cans.
- Water is safe if it has been boiled or chemically treated.
- Avoid ice unless made from bottled/disinfected water.
Consider prescribing an antibiotic for self-treatment of travelers' diarrhea, factoring in resistance issues at the destination.
Additional Resources
Food & Water Precautions (YB)
Water Disinfection for Travelers (YB)
Food Poisoning from Marine Toxins (YB)
Travelers' Diarrhea (YB)
Persistent Travelers' Diarrhea (YB)
Counsel travelers to be diligent in insect precautions:
- Cover exposed skin.
- Use an appropriate insect repellent. (see below)
- Use permethrin-treated clothing and gear (such as boots, pants, socks, and tents). Travelers can buy pre-treated clothing and gear or treat them at home. Treated clothing remains protective after multiple washings. Permethrin should NOT be used directly on skin.
- Stay and sleep under in air-conditioned or screened rooms.
- Use a bed net if sleeping area is exposed to the outdoors.
More Information on Insect Repellents
DEET (concentration of 20% or more) is the only insect repellent shown to be effective against ticks. However, several EPA-registered active ingredients provide reasonably long-lasting protection against mosquitoes:
- DEET (chemical name: N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide or N,N-diethyl-3-methyl-benzamide): Concentrations above 50% show no additional protective benefit.
- Picaridin (KBR 3023 [Bayrepel] and icaridin outside the United States; chemical name: 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperidinecarboxylic acid 1-methylpropyl ester): Must be reapplied more often than DEET.
- Oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE) or PMD (chemical name: para-menthane-3,8-diol), the synthesized version of OLE. "Pure" oil of lemon eucalyptus (essential oil) is not the same product; it has not undergone similar testing for safety and efficacy, is not registered with EPA as an insect repellent, and is not covered by this recommendation.
- IR3535 (chemical name: 3-[N-butyl-N-acetyl]-aminopropionic acid, ethyl ester).
Products with <10% active ingredient may offer only limited protection (1–2 hours).
Encourage patients to use repellents and reapply only as instructed. If sunscreen is also needed, they should apply sunscreen first and repellent second. Encourage them to follow package directions for using repellent on children and avoid applying to their hands, eyes, and mouth.
For more detailed information, visit the Yellow Book: Protection against Mosquitoes, Ticks, & Other Insects & Arthropods

Note: Zika is a risk in Kenya. For more information, see Zika Travel Information.
HideAdvise travelers to exercise caution during outdoor activities. Important tips include dressing appropriately for the climate (such as loose, lightweight clothing in hot climates and warm layers in cold climates), staying hydrated, avoiding overexposure to the sun, and practicing safe swimming habits. To avoid infection while swimming, travelers should not swallow water when swimming and avoid contact with water that may be contaminated from poor sanitation.
Encourage travelers to learn basic first aid and CPR before travel, especially if they will be traveling to remote areas where medical assistance may not be accessible. Help them assemble a travel health kit.
Additional Resources:
Problems with Heat & Cold
Schistosomiasis is endemic in Kenya. Travelers should avoid swimming in fresh, unchlorinated water, such as lakes, ponds, or rivers.

HideCounsel travelers to be cautious around all animals.
- Travelers should avoid touching, petting, handling, or feeding animals, including pets.
- Arthropods such as spiders and scorpions can pose a stinging risk, and travelers should exercise care in environments where these creatures are likely to be present.
- Stress the urgency of treating suspected and probable rabies infection by:
- Washing the wound immediately with soap and clean water.
- Seeking medical attention as soon as possible.
- Travelers at risk for rabies should consider medical evacuation insurance, since postexposure prophylaxis may not be available at the destination.

People who are ill should not travel. Urge travelers to practice hand hygiene and sneeze into a tissue or their sleeve.
HideCounsel travelers on the risks of diseases associated with the exchange of saliva, blood, vomit, semen, urine, and feces.
Travelers should:
- Use a latex condom correctly every time they engage in sex (vaginal, anal, and oral-genital).
- Not inject drugs.
- Limit alcohol consumption.
- Not have tattoos, piercings, or other procedures that use needles (acupuncture) unless the needles are packaged new or sterilized.
- Ensure that medical and dental equipment is sterile or disinfected if seeking care.
Additional Resources:
HIV & AIDS (YB)Hepatitis B (YB)
Hepatitis C (YB)

Travelers should plan for how to obtain health care during their trip, should the need arise.
Discuss supplemental travel health insurance and medical evacuation insurance, and consider helping the traveler obtain an extra month of prescriptions for any needed medications.
Travelers may think they can find cheaper antimalarial drugs at their destination. To ensure medication quality, urge them to have their prescriptions filled in the United States.
HideMotor vehicle crashes are the #1 killer of healthy US citizens in foreign countries.
Most recommendations for safe transportation are basic and could be considered common sense. However, travelers often do not think about the importance of being aware and careful when walking, riding, driving, or flying.
In many places cars, buses, large trucks, rickshaws, bikes, pedestrians, and even animals share the same lanes of traffic, increasing the risk for crashes.
Counsel travelers to think about transportation options before they arrive, especially if they will be driving in Kenya.
Medical Evacuation Insurance
If your patient is seriously injured, emergency care may not be available or may not meet US standards. Trauma care centers are uncommon outside urban areas. Encourage patients to purchase medical evacuation insurance.
Some basic reminders to review with your patients:
- Choose safe vehicles and avoid motorbikes when possible.
- Wear a seatbelt or a helmet at all times.
- Do not drive after drinking alcohol or ride with someone who has been drinking.
- Avoid driving at night; street lighting in certain parts of Kenya may be poor.
- If they will be driving, remind them to get any driving permits and insurance they may need. It is recommended to get an International Driving Permit (IDP).
- Avoid using local, unscheduled aircraft, and fly on larger planes (more than 30 seats) when possible.
Helpful Resources
Road Safety Overseas (Information from the US Department of State): Includes tips on driving in other countries, International Driving Permits, Auto Insurance, and other resources.
The Association for International Road Travel has country-specific Road Travel Reports available for most countries for a minimal fee.
Encourage your patients to look up the information provided under Travel and Transportation on US Department of State's country-specific information for Kenya.
Remind your patients that traffic flows on the left side of the road in Kenya. Encourage them to pay close attention to the flow of traffic, especially when crossing the street.
HideTravelers should be reminded on how to protect their personal safety during travel, regardless of their destination.
The US Department of State has an extensive website with safety information for international travelers, travel alerts and warnings, and country-specific information. Travelers should be directed to the Department of State resources for information and tips on safe travel.
Stay abreast of current events, particularly those that could pose a safety or health problem for travelers. You can also receive updates on new travel alerts and warnings from the US Department of State by subscribing to their RSS feeds.
HideHealthy Travel Packing List
Remind your patients to pack health and safety items. Use the Healthy Travel Packing List for Kenya for a list of health-related items they should consider packing.
Advising Returning Travelers
Although some illnesses may begin during travel, others may occur weeks, months, or even years after return. A history of travel, particularly within the previous 6 months, should be part of the routine medical history for every ill patient. A newly returned, ill international traveler should be preferentially evaluated by a physician versed in travel-related illness.
Here are two professional medical organizations that provide directories of travel clinics throughout the United States:
- American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH)
- International Society of Travel Medicine (ISTM)
Malaria is always a serious disease and may be a deadly illness. Any patient presenting with a fever after traveling in a malaria-risk area during the last year should be evaluated immediately using the appropriate diagnostic tests for malaria. Malaria, especially P. falciparum, requires urgent intervention as clinical deterioration can occur rapidly and unpredictably.
For more information on advising patients after international travel, see Yellow Book Chapter 5: Post-Travel Evaluation.

How does GPS work?
The history of GPS
How it all began
In 1957 the former USSR launched the first man-made satellite: Sputnik 1. Scientists quickly realised first that by using the Doppler Effect one could work out a satellite's orbit. Then that by turning it round, you can use satellites to work out the position of a receiver on earth.
The foundations of the modern GPS were laid during the early 1960's by the US military. The Navy, Air Force and Army each came up with their own designs and ideas, and eventually in 1973 a design that incorporated elements from each was approved by the US government. This was to become NAVSTAR.
The first satellite for the new NAVSTAR GPS was launched in 1974 and from 1978 to 1985 another 11 were launched for testing purposes. The full constellation of 24, that today allows your navigation system to enjoy worldwide GPS coverage, was completed in 1993.
GPS for everyone
Initially GPS was only intended for military use. But then tragedy struck. On 1st September 1983, Korean Airlines flight KAL007 from Anchorage to Seoul strayed off course into USSR airspace and was shot down by a soviet Su-15 fighter jet. All 269 passengers and crew were killed.
Two weeks later, US President Reagan proposed GPS be made available for civilian use to avoid navigational error ever again leading to such a catastrophe. While by no means the only reason, the Korean Airlines disaster was certainly a major catalyst toward civilian access to GPS.
Selective Availability (SA)
Having spent some $12 billion to develop the most accurate navigation system in the world, the US government then built a function called Selective Availability (SA) into NAVSTAR that would limit its accuracy for civilian users to ensure no enemy or terrorist group could use GPS to make accurate weapons.
It worked by introducing deliberate errors into the data broadcast by each satellite. Military users could access the fully accurate system by decrypting a secured second frequency that was broadcast simultaneously.
Then during the Gulf War the US military needed many more GPS receivers than it had. It solved the problem by using civilian GPS receivers. But to increase the accuracy of these devices, the SA function had to be temporarily disabled. Then in 2000, US President Clinton announced that SA would be disabled completely. Because US government 'threat assessments' concluded that removing SA would have minimal impact on national security. Though in the same speech he said the US would still be able to 'selectively deny' GPS signals on a regional basis when national security was threatened.

Senate confirms Kerry for State in 94-3 vote By Julian Pecquet and Ramsey Cox - 01/29/13 04:32 PM ET
The Senate approved one of its own to become President Obama's second secretary of State in a near-unanimous vote on Tuesday.
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) sailed through the chamber in a 94-to-3 vote, with Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) and Texas Sens. Ted Cruz (R) and John Cornyn (R) casting the only no votes.
Kerry's approval to replace Hillary Clinton was a foregone conclusion after Republicans urged Obama to nominate him in lieu of his ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice.
I dont know too many people who have oriented their whole life to be better suited for secretary of State, Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), the top Republican on Kerry's Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said on the floor ahead of the vote.
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), who is replacing Kerry atop the committee, echoed those sentiments.
I can think of no one better to take on the challenges of this position, he said. John has already built strong relationships across the world. ... He will need no introduction to the worlds political leaders.
The Senate vote capped a whirlwind day for Kerry, whose nomination was approved by his committee in a unanimous voice vote a few hours earlier. His colleagues on the committee he's chaired since Joe Biden became vice-president four years ago gave him a standing ovation and a committee resolution honoring his service as chairman.
The resolution commends the long and distinguished service of John F. Kerry, whose exceptional skill as a lawmaker is matched only by his commitment to an America that is, in President John F. Kennedys phrase, not 'first but, first when, first if, but first period'; and extends its best wishes for his continuing service to the Nation.
Kerry is the first cabinet selection confirmed in Obama's second term, but the rare showing of bipartisan support will not extend to the rest of the president's national security picks, however.
Six Republicans including the three who voted against Kerry have vowed to oppose former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) for secretary of Defense, and members of both parties have raised questions with the choice of John Brennan for CIA director because of concerns over his record on drone strikes as Obama top counterterrorism adviser.
Kerry could be sworn in as early as Friday, Clinton's last day at State.
Rand Paul voted yes? Damn
Sad. Very sad.
Well,,,, They may just want him the h-— outa the Senate.
As did Flake. Kinda quick to catch Potomac Fever.
Must have been because they know what most people don't - that John Kerry was in... Vietnam.
A lot of Repubicans voted for him. Which proves again that the major difference between a Republican politician and a Democrat politician is in the spelling.
That is just pitiful. 94 Senators ratified a traitor for SecState?
Another reason I'm not voting for Isakson or Chambliss ever again.
He is a lazy SOB who will pontificate and do nothing..thankfully.
So Kerry the anti-America sot is being replaced by a pervert....good grief.
With the NVA in charge of the State Department it should be entertaining if nothing else.
Bet the first thing Kerry does is turn over State's lists of names of Vietnamese informants to Hanoi so that if they missed anyone they can hunt them down and kill them ~ and their families.
This man has no moral fiber of any kind ~ total sociopath ~ guess he can see eye to eye with Obamugabe.
our president and Sec. of State are complete and absolute unAmerican liars and our V.P. is a drunk.
Thank God he is finally out of the Senate!
Ketchup for the world.....
A clean sweep for the Blessed state of Texas!
John Kerry is a national security risk.
John Kerry was in Vietnam?????? Gettouddahere, you're telling more tall tales.
The Republic is almost lost...
It'll be interesting to see him at the other side of the mike.
Kerry has had major work done to his ugly effn face. He should keep botox manufacturers very busy for the next four years.
What the HELL did Coburn do?
John "Commie Traitor Bitch" Effin Kerry is a perfect representative of the 0dinga regime.
Pathetic that a traitor is now SOS.
The one party system strikes again.
Go Cruz!
It wasn't the Viet Nam that bothers me - it was meeting with the communists in Paris, while we were still at war, and he was still in the reserves.
Someone please explain to me how the GOP is worth anything.
IMO the GOP is just the right wing of the political ruling class. The GOP has no principles. The GOP just guards the flank of the overt communists as they take the USA.
Never again.
My feeling about Cornyn - he knew Carey would be elected and his no vote provides cover for him. He's up for election in 2014.
Yes it is, jaz. It is sad to see so few senators voting against his confirmation, as well.
Kerry was not only a traitor, he committed a felony by meeting with the NVA negotiators as a private citizen in Paris during the war in 1971 (collaboration).He lied about his length of service and his pretend wound. This man is just in a club of elites. But he can't be any worse at secretary of state than that bumbling hillary. She utterly failed.
PAST time for TERM LIMITS.....way past time. Not that it would have helped here...but, I think it may have.
You can start referring to me now as Rumplestiltskin because I almost put my foot through the floor.
Despicable, treasonous, sumbitch gigolo with his 'gentlemanly' affectations and his botoxed ugly face makes me sick.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
John Kerry - Because Jane Fonda was not available.
Exactly, the 97 to 3 vote is as pathetic as the traitor they confirmed.
A pathetic choice for a pathetic regime. Go (to Hell) GOP!
The State Department, like the White House, will now be run by someone who hates America more than he loves it, and loves the enemy more than America. Both are perfect for each other. Probably sleep together to make further plans to destroy the Republic as fast as they can.
At least he has experience meeting with America's enemies.
Coburn must have sipped from the same poisonous well as did Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the panel's top Republican. He called Kerry "a realist" who will deal with unrest in Egypt, civil war in Syria, the threat of al-Qaida-linked groups in Africa and Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
My two Texas senators voted against.
Sniff. I'm so proud!
Not Inhofe. He just needed something to offset all the caving he's been doing. Anytime there's an overwhelming majority in the senate for some liberal cause, he casts a dissenting vote. When it's close, and his dissent would help us, he votes with the majority and tries to tell us that it was the conservative thing to do.
Throw the bums out. All of them. Voting for a lying traitor.
None of them are worth a plug nickel. NONE.
Hoeven and Murray not voting—Kerry voting present. Any thoughts on Hoeven, who seems the only other potential ray of light? Kudos to Kerry for not voting for himself.
Yup , he went through on his way to Cambodia for Christmas, dontchaknow.
How anyone could vote anything except "Off the island" for sKerry is beyond me.
Another Communist Comrade in the Administration!
At least he will be well received by our Communist friends
and will make inroads for the new Nation to join the Communist Bloc! Nikita Khrushchev must be smiling from Hell as America digs it's own grave and Russia will not have to bury us. We have our own shovels. A sad day indeed!

Yarmouth Researchers
WAALT seeks to forward collaborative research. We cannot predict or dictate how this will occur, but we can facilitate it. Collaboration can take place at any number of different levels. Registration: Registration will allow the listing of those documents a researcher has searched thoroughly for documents on the given town and thus avoid duplication of effort. Registrants may also provide affiliations (if any) and their email addresses to allow contact between those with similar interests. Researchers can register as a) those pursuing solo projects and merely listing the documents they have covered, b) those already attached to a group and seeking new members, or c) those seeking to be attached to a group. There is no administrative oversight to registration: it occurs simply and solely by entering your name in one of the cells below. Registrants can classify themselves as any of the following: Group Organizer: Researchers may put themselves forward as a group organizer. Since groups will be composed of researchers of different skill levels, an organizer can be expected to have the skills to assist other members and to be regularly involved in the research. People who are organizers can function in that capacity, drop out, and resume activity. Groups can function with or without an organizer or with one or more organizers. They can also usefully divide and restructure themselves. The one commonality should be that members list the documents they have covered so that their research effort will not be duplicated. A researcher who wants to establish a group may list the focus of the group and the skill level expected, but should list at least an email address for contact. Group Members: Researchers may contact an organizer or a group to join, but, since this is about collaboration, there is no right to join a particular group. If there is no established group in your interest area, you may start the group without being an organizer, simply by creating the cell and entering your name, affiliation (if any), interest area, and contact information. Others may then choose to contact you and join the group. The group may never have or need an organizer. Consultant: A researcher who cannot for any reason participate actively in a group may register as a consultant to become available for queries from researchers, either in a particular group or generally for that city or town. The administrators of WAALT are not arbitrators but can and will advise on request. Provision of contact information is vital for establishing or joining a group. |

A multivitamin-multimineral supplement can fill inmicronutrient gaps in your diet.
Nearly 40 percent of adults in the U.S. take a multivitamin to ensure good health. (1) A recent study in Iowa women suggests that this daily habit may be doing more harm than good. (2) A closer look, however, reveals major flaws in the study—and offers reassurance that taking a daily multivitamin may still be a smart move.
The precise requirements for various vitamins have been controversial since their discovery in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The early recommendations were based on the amounts needed to avoid so-called diseases of deficiency such as scurvy (too little vitamin C), beri-beri (too little vitamin B1), pellagra (too little vitamin B3), and rickets (too little vitamin D). Ongoing research suggests a broader role for vitamins. Work by Dr. Bruce N. Ames of the University of California, Berkeley, and others shows that deficiencies in many micronutrients can lead to damage to DNA, the essential "blueprint" of each cell. (3) Such damage can cause or accelerate aging-related conditions. (4) This would make chronic conditions such as cancer, heart disease, vision loss, and a host of others a new type of deficiency disease.
Why Take a Multivitamin?
For those who eat a healthy diet, a multivitamin may have little or no benefit. A diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, good protein packages, and healthy fats should provide most of the nutrients needed for good health. But not everyone manages to eat a healthful diet. When it comes to micronutrients, many Americans get less than the adequate amounts, according to criteria set by the Institute of Medicine. For example, more than 90 percent of Americans get less than the Estimated Average Requirement for vitamin D and vitamin E from food sources alone. (5) Many older people have trouble absorbing vitamin B12 from food; the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010, in fact, recommends that people over the age of 50 eat foods fortified with vitamin B12 or take vitamin B12 supplements. (6)
Getting enough of another B vitamin, folate, is especially important for women who may become pregnant, since adequate folate can help lower the risk of having a baby with spina bifida or anencephaly. For the folate to be effective, it must be taken in the first few weeks of conception, often before a woman knows she is pregnant. Yet in the U.S., half of all pregnancies are unplanned. That's why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that all women of childbearing age (ages 15 to 45) consume 400 micrograms per day of folic acid. (7) And a standard multivitamin that contains the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for folic acid offers a convenient way to do that.
For these reasons, we believe a daily multivitamin-multimineral pill offers safe, simple micronutrient insurance, and the findings from the latest study don't change our recommendation.
A Closer Look at Multivitamins and Mortality
The research, which was based on the Iowa Women's Health Study, looked at the use of 15 supplements, including multivitamins, at three different intervals and identified the numbers of women who died over a 19-year period. It showed that women over the age of 55 who took multivitamins were at higher risk for dying than those who did not. (2) A similar risk was found for other vitamins and minerals, including folate, vitamin B6, iron, magnesium and zinc.
The study is weak for several reasons. For starters, most people die from a prolonged illness and sometimes start to take vitamins after their health deteriorates; they don't become ill after they start taking vitamins. The Iowa study, however, didn't exclude women who were sick or take into account how long they were taking supplements. As a result, we have no idea whether the women were already taking vitamins when they became ill, or if they became ill and then started taking vitamins. In women who were already sick, taking vitamins and supplements was unlikely to lower their risk of dying. In addition, the Iowa study found no benefit for vitamin D supplements, which contradicts at least two highly regarded studies showing that vitamin D protects against mortality. (8,9)
The study's strongest finding was in regards to supplemental iron. It's clear that taking a high amount of iron can be harmful, especially in women who have trouble regulating iron absorption for genetic reasons. It's also possible, however, that some women were taking iron for diseases, injuries, or surgeries that cause anemia, and that these underlying health problems—not the iron supplements—made them more vulnerable to dying. We recommend against iron supplements for men or postmenopausal women, unless there is a specific diagnosis of iron deficiency.
What about other studies that appear to show vitamin supplements cause harm? Those studies often suffer from the same flaws as the Iowa study. Take, for example, a frequently-cited analysis of 68 antioxidant supplement trials that was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. (10) That study found that taking beta carotene and vitamin A and E supplements increased the risk of dying. But most of the studies included in the analysis were done in people who already had some type of serious illness. It was also impossible to compare interventions because the types of supplements, the dosages taken, and the length of time they were taken varied so widely in the studies.
In reality, there is little solid evidence to support the idea that multivitamins or modest doses of individual nutrients increase the risk for major diseases or early death. (19) And many studies show just the opposite—that multivitamin supplements may protect us from major illnesses such as heart disease, colon cancer, and breast cancer. One recent study found that women who took multivitamins for more than 15 years had lower odds of developing colorectal cancer that those who never took multivitamins, and also had lower odds of developing precancerous growths in the large intestine (adenomas). (11) Other studies have shown that adequate folate is associated with lower risks of coronary heart disease. (12) Among women who drink alcohol, multivitamin users also had a lower risk of breast cancer, and folic acid (the synthetic form of folate) from the multivitamins seemed to be responsible for this protection. (13) Both studies on folate were done before foods were fortified with folic acid, which may have made multivitamin supplements even more important.
Of course, high doses of any supplement have the potential to cause harm. Too much iron for instance, can lead to organ damage, especially in men and postmenopausal women who generally do not require iron supplements. The Health Professionals Follow-Up Study also found that men who took high dose zinc supplements (more than 100 milligrams/day), or took zinc supplements for a long period of time, were at greater risk for prostate cancer than men who did not take any zinc supplements. (14) It's a worrisome finding that merits more investigation. Other prospective studies on zinc supplements have not seen evidence of such harm, however, study participants did not take quite as high doses of zinc. (15) A randomized trial designed to test supplements to prevent eye disease gave participants a slightly lower dose of zinc supplements—80 milligrams/day—and found that taking these supplements reduced the risk of dying. (16)
The Bottom Line: A Daily Multivitamin Is Still Good Nutrition Insurance
Some scientists believe there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against taking a daily multivitamin, because there isn't yet enough data from randomized controlled trials. (17,) That's a reasonable but short-sighted point of view since it may never be possible to conduct randomized trials that are long enough to test the effects of multiple vitamins on risks of cancers, Alzheimer's disease (20), and other degenerative conditions. Looking at all the evidence—from epidemiological studies on diet and health, to biochemical studies on the minute mechanisms of disease—the potential health benefits of taking a standard daily multivitamin appear to outweigh the potential risks for most people. (18)
The good news is, you don't need an expensive "designer" supplement or a name-brand kind to reap health benefits. A standard store-brand multivitamin-multimineral supplement is fine. Look for one that contains RDA-level amounts and that also has the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) seal of approval on the label. The amount of vitamin D in most such supplements is usually 400 IU, so you might want to look for one that contains 800–1,000 IU of vitamin D or get additional amounts from a separate vitamin D supplement as well. In fact, the desirable intake of vitamin D is shifting swiftly; many people may need 2,000 IU per day (or more) to get their blood levels of vitamin D into an adequate range; particularly if they have darker skin, spend winters at higher latitudes (such as the northern U.S.), or spend little time in the sun. For premenopausal women, a multivitamin that includes the RDA for iron is a good idea.
Knowledge about the optimal intakes of vitamins and minerals is not set in stone. So it will be important to continue researching the relationships between vitamins, minerals, and chronic disease, over decades. This may mean more confusing news headlines along the way, as the science develops. Read these tips on how to be a savvy reader of news articles about vitamin supplements and nutrition.

On Thursday, the U.S. Senate failed to pass a cloture resolution on the nomination of former Senator Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) as secretary of defense, with 58 in favor and 40 against ending debate on the matter, with one senator voting "present." A 60-vote majority is required to end debate before the nomination can proceed to a simple majority vote, and it appears the Senate is going to come up short.
Hagel's nomination was approved by the Senate Armed Services Committee earlier this week in a 14-11 party line vote.
Although Hagel came under fire for remarks he made about Israel specifically the "Jewish lobby" during his confirmation hearing, Senate Republicans appear to have switched their rationale for opposing their former colleague. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has been one of Hagel's most outspoken opponents, and this week said that regarding the nominations of Hagel for defense and John Brennan for director of national intelligence, there would be "no confirmation without information" regarding last September's deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
The threat comes despite the fact that Hagel had nothing to do with the Benghazi attack, or was even employed by the U.S. government at the time.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) slammed his GOP counterparts earlier in the day. This isnt high school getting ready for a football game or some play thats being produced at high school, Reid said. Were trying to confirm somebody to run the defenses of our country, the military of our country.
Reid also acknowledged that the Democrats do not have the necessary 60 votes at this time. There are 53 Democrats in the Senate, plus two independents who caucus with the Democrats. Today's failure to reach 60 votes doesn't mean Hagel's nomination is finished. The Senate will reportedly try again after the Presidents' Day recess perhaps as late as a week from Tuesday, according to Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.) in his floor speech on the nomination.
We have a few questions for you, and we expect answers.
Hey, the Republicans grew a vertibrae - now let's see if they can manage a whole spine.
Kabuki Theater.
The Muslim Marxist will just bypass congress and appoint fellow Jew-hater Hagel by executive order. The Muslim Brotherhood is calling the shots in the White House now.
Alexander is saying it's not a filibuster. It sounds to me that he almost promised an up and down vote in twelve days. The Dems are arguing it is a filibuster.
Good news!
The Commie, Muslim-loving traitor has to wait a little while longer before he can help Obama run our military into the ground.
Good!! One less A$$hole in government to worry about. We already have many more than we need.
All GOP speakers said it isn't filibuster, not just Alexander. And, unfortunately, it isn't. It's meant to DELAY the vote until more info is forthcoming. I say unfortunately...we could only wish they would stop Hagel's nomination, period.
Reid is lying and knows it.
But that's Harry...it's who he is.
This parenthesis after the headline that calls it a filibuster is exactly what Reid wants. He wants media headlines to scream "filibuster!" because that's spun as a bad word.
Please understand, if it really was a filibuster I would say call it that. And it wouldn't bother me one bit to use the word. Perfectly good word, but has a bad rap.
One caveat, IF more info arises that is scandalous enough against Hagel, the GOP could still choose to ACTUALLY filibuster and stop this insane nomination.
But if what we already know isn't enough against him, color me doubtful that even worse would stop him.
Yep, just watch. Obama will headfake, the R's will fall for it, and Hagel will be confirmed within the week...
And mumble-mouth McConnell will come on the Sunday shows telling us about how the GOP is moving forward doing the bidness of the Senate.
Yeah. If this were definitive Hagel would fold up his tent and head home. Doesn't sound like that's happening.
Graham: Ill put a hold on Hagel, Brennan until the White House coughs up Benghazi info.
McLame was on Cavuto predicting Hagel would be confirmed just minutes before this vote. He's such a loser!
He ain't folding his tent because he as heard McLame and a few other RINO's say when they come back from their break that he would vote for him.
Hagel will be Defense Secretary. Or it will be someone worse. The R's are stalling.
Actually, McCain announced against Hagel as did some other RINOS such as Graham. They are going to give Obama his up or down vote on Hagel, while voting no. However, if McCain says it will ultimately pass, then he knows that certain GOP WILL join the lockstep Dems and vote yes.
Were trying to confirm somebody to ruin the defenses of our country, the military of our country.
Fixed it.
Obama will wait until the Senate goes home for the weekend, declare them in recess and appoint whoever he wants.
Pretty severe case of Scoliosis though.
Not sure I understand the point. John F-in Kerry will be worse for the country than Hagel. Is the point that, as a quasi-Republican, Hagel will become the scapegoat for any Obama failures?
The Rats are just playing with the Stupid party people. All of this is to showcase that the Stupid party are eating their own and can't be trusted with even confirming one of their own. This is why Hagel was nominated in the first place.
The Stupid Party people are too dumb to see this.
It's all a game to make the Stupid party look bad and it is succeeding in the public's eye.
When the Senate's back is turned, Mr. Soetoro will toss in another recess appointment and sneak Hagel in.....
Finally some spine. Is Skeeter having a shortage of blackmail ammo too.
It's a small and temporary victory, but with what has transpired in the last 4 years, I'll enjoy it, if only momentarily.
I'm probably alone here, but I think this appointment is not the one that should be halted. Should have directed all fire at Lew. JMHO
Let's talk about that video, Mr. President. And let's talk about why NO military assets were deployed to evacuate the embassy staff.
Yes, Mrs. Clinton, it does make a difference.
The Dems are arguing it is a filibuster.
Doing what comes naturally — lying. That's what Democrats do. Lie about everything.
Great, now why couldn't they have done that to John "I was a war criminal" Kerry? Hagel had no business being nominated but it seems a big coincidence to me that the only person they had the balls to oppose was an ex republican.
Is Hagel out for good?
McLame was on Cavuto predicting Hagel would be confirmed just minutes before this vote. Hes such a loser!
Juan McLame may yet be proven right as Republicans will likely fold like a cheap lawn chair after they return from recess. Leaving town was like the proverbial "shot of courage" that enabled them to look tough for the moment. After recess, the The Stupid Party will revert back to its normal supine posture.
He wasn't just predicting it he was promoting it.
Are the Pubbies spineless or stupid? Sometimes its hard to tell which. Perhaps its both.
Hagel is that bad but what difference does it really make(aka Hillary). All the people the jackass nominates are going to be bad. Keep holding,delaying and stalling as long as possible but we need to start winning elections
Reid said. Were trying to confirm somebody to run the defenses of our country, the military of our country.Well then get someone qualified, it's an important job that shouldn't be given to someone with all those skeletons in his closet and not pratical experience.
The last one, Panetta was a political favor appointment lets not do that again.
Harry Reid, grow up and stop the childish high school remarks to try to insult our intelligence.
Its all a game to make the Stupid party look bad
Roger that. Unfortunately the Republicans can't figure that out.
Of course, it is. But it's also a vote that stands.
In this case, I think it's Reid playing the lead kabuki. He didn't want Hagel in there, either. Hated him [just like the rest of us].
I hear Karl is over at a K street mixer planning the demise of the TEA Party, THAT is where REAL bi-partisan support is needed right now...not these silly little games in the Senate...
According to the fifth-column WaPost rag, it was Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) who stood firm from the beginning. Without Cruz's substantiated demand that Hagel had not provided sufficient information, the GOP eunuchs would have folded like a wet washrag.
MSM Obamawhores will now be gunning for Cruz.
I don't give a hoot whether it's a filibuster or not. I'm just happy that the Republicans stood up for what's right. They can use any tactic they want to as far as I'm concerned. The Dems do.
The Repubs are A) playing by the rules and B) doing the right thing.
What's not to like?
Shut up and pass a budget, Reid. For a change.
No,of course not. The Senate is going out for a short recess and when they get back, Reid will be resurrecting this. I believe that eventually he's going to be the SOD, whether we like it or not. The only thing in doubt is how much truth about Benghazi we can squeeze out of Obama before enough Republicans cave in and vote for cloture.
The Democrats will probably yank Hagel at this point, and replace him with somebody even worse.
I doubt it. Like I said, Reid will resurrect this one after the short recess. They only have about 54 votes for confirmation on Hagel (meaning that if they can get this cloture vote passed, they'll get confirmation -- barely). But if they substitute someone who's substantially worse, they won't even get 50 votes.
Thank God, they managed to do SOMETHING right for a change! Hope it holds and this un-American doesn't become the head of our wonderful military!
Now I know why the cable news channels are only covering the cruise ship. They don't want to cover Obama's embarrassment.
"McLame was on Cavuto predicting Hagel would be confirmed just minutes before this vote. Hes such a loser!"
Facts are wrong.
Care to explain?

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 26th Apr 2010 23:11 UTC, submitted by UglyKidBill
Well, this is unexpected. The iPhone 4G saga just got a whole lot crazier - dare I say it, a whole lot more ridiculous. Have you ever reported anything like a phone or something similarly small stolen to the police? What was their reaction? Did you ever get the device back? Did they send an army of officers to get your device back? No? Odd. They raided Jason Chen's house, and took four computers and two servers. Update: And thus our true colours reveal. "The raid that San Mateo area cops conducted last week on the house of Gizmodo editor Jason Chen came at the behest of a special multi-agency task force that was commissioned to work with the computer industry to tackle high-tech crimes. And Apple Inc. sits on the task force's steering committee." Update II: According to TechCrunch, the investigation has been put on hold while the DA ponders Gizmodo's shield defence. Update III: Some legal insight from a constitutional law and first amendment expert and a law professor. The gist? The DA has said no one has been charged with anything here, making this just an investigation - however, this makes the search and seizing of material worse. "If the police are literally just gathering information, with no suspect targeted yet, then a subpoena against a journalist would have probably been smarter than a search warranted that resulted in the front door of Chen's home being bashed in."

RE[3]: A crime is a crime
by Morgan on Tue 27th Apr 2010 18:25 UTC
in reply to "RE[2]: A crime is a crime"
I don't think Zifre was saying Apple broke the law, rather that they have the power to use law enforcement for their own agendas. They in effect have created an upper class for themselves that can push law enforcement to do things for them that would not be done for the average citizen.
That position can easily be considered "above the law".

AWEI ES800M In-Ear Hi-Fi Headphone
"The ES800 are the kind of IEMs you won't like how they sound out of the box: they sound thin and aggressive, with piercing mids and highs. Then you will question the design: the hideous "gold drop" on the back, the flat cable, the enormous cable splitter. The tips are not so good either. So, there is a chance that, for 3 or 4 dollars, you will give it to that annoying cousin, or forget about it..." --Mellowship
AWEI ES-900i Headset Earphones Speakers with Mic for Smart Phone - Black
"I actually have the ES900m, which doesn't have microphone and control buttons, but the rest is the same. For $6 it's impossible to buy a pair of earphones as good as them. I really believe that the body of the earphones are metal, even if they are not, it's made of a very durable plastic. It's nothing like the entry-level Sony or Philips earphones which are made of cheap..." --mrplt
AWEI ES-Q9 Super Bass Wooden Earphones Headphones Headsets Fiber Cable for Mp3 Smart Phone
"My experience with this one was enjoyable while it lasted. I liked the sound quality, a whole step above peasant IEMs on that price range. They're big so I had to fiddle quite a bit to get a good seal, also I suggest to wear the cable over the ear to avoid extra noise when the cable moves. People with small ears will have trouble with this ones. The cable produces noise, not very good. The..." --zareliman
Awei K80
" What can I say about these? I saw a lot of people going for the Awei branded items on eBay, so I got one myself. They were surprisingly good and surprisingly bad at the same time. I will explain.
