Video: Murray's Floor Statement

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – As the “manufactured crisis” on judges entered its 18th hour, Sen. Murray gave the following statement on the Senate floor.

“Mr. President, the majority believes the Senate should spend 30 hours discussing what the New York Times calls ‘a manufactured crisis on judges.’

While our time would be better spent helping laid-off workers by extending unemployment benefits, I’m happy to talk about the confirmation of judges. I’m happy to talk about how these lifetime appointments affect the rights and freedoms of every American. And I’m happy to talk about our impressive record of confirming 98 percent of the judges that the majority has brought to the Senate floor.

But I want to be clear that by spending 30 hours talking about 4 judges who already have jobs, we’re not helping the 3 million Americans who don’t have jobs.

This marathon is the type of political grandstanding that makes Americans scratch their heads and conclude that politicians just don’t get it. We should be spending our time on the urgent needs facing our citizens – in employment, healthcare, and transportation and completing our work on putting the federal budget together.

But the majority has decided that this is the most important issue we can discuss for 2 days, and they control the floor.

I want to focus on four things –

  • the importance of the Senate in confirming judges,
  • the progress we’ve made over the past 3 years,
  • the success we’ve had confirming judges from Washington state,
  • and the jobs crisis that the majority do not want to discuss.

First, I want to put this discussion in context because the judges who serve on the federal bench affect the lives and liberties of every American.

These are lifetime appointments. This is not just a nomination to a commission or an ambassadorship. This is a lifetime appointment for a federal judge whose rulings over the next thirty -- or maybe forty or more years -- will have ramifications for every single American.

As Senators, we are elected to serve our constituents. We are asked to confirm judges whose decisions can change U.S. history and shape the lives of the American people for generations to come.

In addition, we expect federal judges to provide the proper check in our system of “checks and balances” outlined in the Constitution. Without it, our system does not function properly.

We must ensure each nominee

  • has sufficient experience to sit in judgment of our fellow citizens,
  • will be fair to all those who come before the court,
  • will be even-handed in administering justice,
  • and will protect the rights and liberties of all Americans.

To determine if a nominee meets those standards, we must explore their record, ask questions, and weigh the responses. This is a tremendous responsibility, and one that I take very seriously.

Here in the Senate we have made great progress in confirming the judges that President Bush has nominated. Just look at the figures.

The Senate has confirmed 168 judicial nominees of President Bush who have come to the floor.

In three years, we have stopped just 4 people whose records raise the highest questions about their abilities to meet the standards of fairness that all Americans expect.

Let me repeat that, we have confirmed 168 judicial nominees. That’s a confirmation rate of 97.7%.

We’ve confirmed 168 judges – that’s more confirmations than during President Reagan’s entire first term. And so far this year, we’ve confirmed 68 judges.

Today, 95% of federal judicial seats are filled. This is the lowest number of vacancies in 13 years. There are now more federal judges than ever before.

When it comes to circuit court judges, we have confirmed 29. That’s more appeals judges than Clinton, the first President Bush, or Reagan had by this point in their administrations.

Now I have to point out that while the majority is complaining today about our 98 percent confirmation rate, it was a different story during the Clinton Administration. Back then, Republicans used many roadblocks to stop block the confirmation of judges who were nominated by President Clinton.

During Clinton’s second term, 175 of his nominees were confirmed, and 55 were blocked from getting votes. During those years, the majority used the committee process to ensure nominees they disagreed with never came to a vote. 55 never received consideration.

So I think the Senate has an impressive record of confirming judges. That’s clear in the 98 percent confirmation rate, the 95 percent of federal judicial seats that are filled, and the lowest number of vacancies in 13 years.

Next, I’d like to talk about the process that we’ve used in Washington state to confirm judges. We’ve worked out a system to ensure that Washington judges are nominated and confirmed even when different political parties hold Senate seats or control the White House.

For many years, I worked with a Republican Senator and a Democratic President to nominate and confirm federal judges. And today with a Republican President, I am working with my Democratic colleague from Washington state on a bipartisan process to recommend judicial candidates.

We’ve developed a bi-partisan commission process to forward names to the White House, and it has worked. Both sides have equal representation on the commission. The commission interviews and vets the candidates.

It worked for Senator Gorton and I when forwarding names to President Clinton, and it is working well for Senator Maria Cantwell and I as we recommend names to President Bush. I’m proud that during President Bush’s first three years we have confirmed two excellent judges through this bipartisan commission process.

We confirmed Ron Leighton, a distinguished trial lawyer in Tacoma, who is now a U.S. District Court Judge for the Western District of Washington in Tacoma. We confirmed Lonny Suko as a District Court Judge for the Eastern District of Washington State.

He’s a distinguished lawyer and U.S. Magistrate Judge, who’s earned the respect of so many in his work on some of Eastern Washington’s most difficult cases.

Currently, we are in the process of getting a nomination hearing and confirmation of Magistrate Judge Ricardo Martinez for a vacancy on the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington.

For over five years, he has served as Magistrate Judge for the U.S. District Court in the Western District. Before that he was a Superior Court judge for eight years. He was also a King County prosecutor for ten years.

Judge Martinez has the impressive credential of being named the first Drug Court judge in Washington state and worked tirelessly to ensure the success of this program which uses treatment services as an alternative to incarceration. I’m looking forward to his nomination hearing and confirmation.

So in Washington state, we’re making real bipartisan progress confirming judges, and it’s a process that I believe serves the people of Washington state well.

I have very little time left, and I want to finish my statement. I thank my colleague.

The time we are spending discussing our 98-percent confirmation rate could be used to address much more pressing issues. The majority is spending 30 hours to talk about four people who already have jobs. I think we should spend that time talking about the 3 million Americans who cannot find jobs.

Mr. President, I conclude by saying in my home State of Washington, 70,000 people have been laid off. They want this Senate to deal with unemployment insurance extension, which we need to do before we adjourn.

Update: Late November, 2008

Thank you so much to everyone that sent in birthday wishes yesterday, both through the blog and through email. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: You all are the very best!

So it seems most appropriate that I return the kindness. How about an update, eh?

You’ll note I’m leaving the word “book” out above. This isn’t just a “book update.” Things are progressing on a number of fronts now. Believe me, we’re taking every imaginable advantage of the recent delay to create thing(s) like no one has before.

Take, for example, our long-established goal of providing “multimedia” material. That’s been one of the toughest nuts to crack, conceptually speaking. The rub? To maintain relevance within the confines of our overall approach, a documentary piece should be both procedural and analytical in nature. That’s great, but two risks arise: 1) We’d end up presenting material completely redundant to the book’s, thus negating the documentary’s reason to exist… or 2) If we specifically left material out of the book so that it would be unique to a documentary piece, we’d end up with a purposefully-incomplete book hardly fitting the comprehensive mold we’ve always envisioned.

We could always just plop ourselves in front of a camera and give you a 10 minute fireside chat, allowing audiences to put faces with the music and book, but that’s fluffy and insubstantial… and I can’t seen publishers being very happy about having to author and package a DVD that’s as useless as that.

So what happens? Should this “multimedia” idea be scrapped? No, not at all. We know that people respond to the personal side of things; we’ve seen it repeatedly in speaking engagements. And I think it’s important to show people that, look, all this music was created by a very real person.

We headed into last week knowing this—knowing that there was something of worth to be created, but unsure of what our angle should be.

A camera was set, we arranged a makeshift set, stashed away a few Altoids (talking heads are much closer in real life than they appear to be on camera!), and sat down to… just do some general work. It seemed the easiest way to find a piece was to let it find us. We had plenty of other work to tend to, so why not simply introduce the camera to the room.

We started with a few book notes. As the text has moved from liners to full-fledged book, it’s become increasingly analytical. This means that there’s been more back-and-forth between Shore and me so that I can be certain I’m presenting his concepts as he imagined them. Example… I referred to recurring G-minor and E-minor chords as being a sixth apart. Howard actually thought of them as being a third apart. Same concept, different terminology, but it’s important to me that my language reflects his mind.

The book review only lasted a little while. We’d planned on managing the bulk of it the next day anyway. The Rarities were next on the docket. This was incredibly exciting for me. I’ve been rummaging through archives for nearly two years now, and though we’ve always discussed the findings, this was the first time we’d sit and listen through the music together.

And a funny thing happened here. In the process of reviewing this material I think we found our multimedia piece. Talking about the Rarities with Howard was incredibly interesting. Even though the conversation was ostensibly about a single topic, it proved a revealing way to touch on a number of subjects: the history of the project as a whole; Shore’s creative process, the collaboration with Peter, Fran and Philippa; alternate edits of the film; alternate musical concepts… we even found the very first mock-up Shore created for LOTR. Yes, the very first music he wrote for this project.

I suppose I should have known it would pan out this way. In order to discuss the unused music in the Rarities, we’d have to discuss the process at its deepest level. It’s the perfect device for these types of conversations.

And suddenly, everything clicked. By the next morning we were no longer just talking with a camera in the room, we were crafting a very specific piece. It would be something entirely different, something that, as far as I’m aware, no one has really tried before.

Now, don’t think I’ve gone senile in my newly advanced age! I’m not giving everything away here. Our plans for this video material are, as I say, anything but straightforward. I’m not yet ready reveal how exactly this will all be assembled. If current plans are realized, it’ll be very unique, very accessible, and (with a little luck) incredibly immersive.

The above also means we have some reconsidering to do. Obviously creating a piece around the Rarities is combining the Multimedia and Rarities concepts. This may mean that the book will not need a DVD component. (No fretting here… This doesn’t mean less material for you next year. We’re still talking all the same materials, simply bundled differently. In fact, this may mean you’ll ultimately see more content for less money!)

So within the next few weeks I should be getting my first glimpse of the footage from last week. We’re also very close to re-locking the book text with HS’ edits incorporated, and that needs to be in to the publishers very soon. Oh, and I also heard the very first ideas for the Master Box packaging, which should progress soon as well. Personally, I loved what I heard. It's a very sophisticated concept, much more than a cardboard sleeve!

In early 2009, I’ll return to NY to continue (and probably conclude) filming. Thank goodness the airlines didn’t lose my luggage since I now have to wear the same brown sweater every time we film so that it can be edited together. It began the morning of Nov 20 as a comfy pullover, and finished the day as a costume!

Oh, I almost forgot: We also discussed this past week how exactly to debut all this material next year… a long expected release party as it were. If current plans hold, I defy anyone to surpass what we’ve got in the works!

…That reminds me, I have a press release to assemble.

See you soon,

Exploring DADGAD tuning

With new ideas and inspiration to transfer to your own playing

YouTube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLqNMqT_sx4

ACOUSTIC EXPO 2014: If you consider yourself a true acoustic buff then you surely must be familiar with that staple altered tuning known as DADGAD. If the tuning is new to you then take a look at the tab (the link is below) and - once you've retuned - work on bars 1 to 4.

Notice how chord shapes that we're familiar with in standard tuning now have a totally different sound.

For more experienced players, this isn't too challenging a piece to learn but there are four distinct sections that should provide some new ideas and inspiration that you can transfer into your own playing.

Download the tab/notation for this exploring DADGAD tuning video lesson here

This acoustic guitar lesson has been brought to you in association with Lowden. Their guitars continue to be the instrument of choice for discerning musicians, including some of the world's most respected guitar players such as Richard Thompson, Pierre Bensusan, Alex DeGrassi, Paul Brady and Thomas Leeb. Be sure to explore the Lowden booth at Acoustic Expo 2014 and take a look at their stunning handmade acoustic guitars.

Will McNicol, your tutor for this lesson, has gained Associate and Licentiate performance diplomas from Trinity College London, and in 2011 was awarded a Fellowship diploma from the College. Composing is a big part of Will's musical life and he has released four albums of original material. Will's playing has won him numerous awards, most notably being Guitarist Magazine's coveted UK Acoustic Guitarist Of The Year 2011.

School Project: Important Issues (Farewell Fighter - The Way We Learn)

For my History of Rock Music class for school, we had the following prompt:  Choose and discuss a song or album that you feel best represents important issues in your life and the lives of your classmates.
I felt Farewell Fighter's latest EP represented this question perfectly, and my response can be read below.

The teenage years are perhaps the most important years of any human’s life. An enormous amount of changes take places, including social growth, puberty, and most importantly self-direction. Nashville, Tennessee based pop-rock band Farewell Fighter focuses on this intriguing period of time on their latest EP The Way We Learn, a seven track effort that brings a listener through the teenage years, as band and listener join together to realize the importance of understanding one’s self and living life to its fullest.

EP opener “Well Wishing” displays the hypothetical teenager’s immaturity, as he or she hasn’t begun his or her growth into an adult. The phrase “I wish I were pretty I wish I were brave, I wish there was somebody else in the world I could save” is commonly heard amongst twelve and thirteen year olds that don’t understand the real priorities in life. But as the EP goes through its twenty-six minute runtime, there is obvious growth within this teenager’s thoughts on life. The title of “Growing Pains” explains it all, as the start of growth is always the toughest, as one needs to realize his or her own flaws in order to grow from this. Finding out that one’s self is flawed is always extremely painful, but is a necessary step to maturity.

“Never Have I Ever” has the teenager finally looking towards the future, rather than the present, as he or she is thinking about his or her dream job. This is a very important realization in any teens’ life, since the teenage years are all about preparing for the future and developing the building blocks that will assist one to his or her goals. “Lust Or Losing It” speaks about what is possibly both a teenager’s biggest dream and biggest nightmare. Sex and love finally enter the mind of the teenager, and become the misguided priority in his or her life. But “Terminal” is one of the biggest breakthroughs in the teen’s road to maturity, as he or she realizes the necessity to take things slowly after the first brutal heartbreak. Relationships are finally beginning to make sense, and things are finally starting to fall into place.

The final two tracks resolve all the rough conflicts that the teenager has dealt with over the high school years. “Where I Belong” is the first hopeful glance after the suffering of rough experiences, which include breakups, difficulty finding one’s true goals, and finding where one belongs. “Golden” is the final breakthrough, as the teenager looks back on everything he or she has learned from all his or her hardships, and realizes that life is worth living and that “we are golden because we’re alive.”

As I have just entered college, I have been through all of these experiences, and am trying to find my true goals in life. “Golden” contains the positivity needed to make it through the hell that one may call the teenage years. Understanding that life is great and that we have the ability to make our own life fantastic gives the strength that we need to live successfully and prosper as a society.

Ace Hood - Got Damn (ft. Plies)

Got Damn Lyrics

Oh yeah?
That’s how you feel, huh, young niggas?
You gon’ pull up in that ma’fuckin’ foreign right there
Went bare in your ma’fuckin’ pocket with that bitch?

Goddamn… goddamn
Why you do ‘em like that? Goddamn
(What you mean?)
How he pull up in the Porsche, 911, oh lord
With a bad bitch with me and her ass all for it
Goddamn… goddamn
Hundred-thousand for the Rollie, goddamn
All these diamonds in my chain, 30 bottles on the way
KOD in Magic City, pissy, K, I’ll make it rain

[Verse 1: Ace Hood]
Steppin’ out tonight I think I’m ‘bout to make a movie
Drophead Phantom whippin’, bumpin’ Lil’ Boosie
Bitch, I got a check I just might buy the whole club
Twenty-thousand dollars I just call it showin’ love
Big money nigga, caught a milli on the jewels
Ballin’ like a bitch, I made the ESPN news
Oh boy, you can never play me for a fool
Keep a Mr. Fix-It with me, that’s who keep the tool
I say “now good lord, look at shorty there, she all ass”
“Bet your money she gon’ fuck me for that brown bag”
I said I’m too gone off that liquor – turn up, nigga, you trippin’
And peace to rockin’ my system – blue-tinted watches, I’m different

[Verse 2: Plies]
I was in the trap, cracker kicked the door
I was in the room, I was beatin’ a hoe
Cracker asked me “nigga, where the store?”
Told him “probably in Alaska, cracker, where it snow”
Hit Crummers, I’mma buy a hundred shares
And give it all the way to all of y’all niggas
Got a funny feeling I’mma whack me a rat
And get on TV playin’ crazy like “I don’t know what happened”
Asked me did I fuck his girl, I told him I don’t remember
Now did she suck me? That’s a strong possibility
Hit him with the nine and got his shit back
Ten racks, pussy nigga, and I’ll sell your chain back

[Verse 3: Ace Hood]
Okay, now fat black Meryl bitches call me Bruce Wayne
Crib big as Wal-Mart, nigga that’s a shame
And I keep a shooter, call that boy Dwayne Wade
Most them niggas pussy, lucky I don’t call names
Catch me runnin’ up in that, Lord have mercy, thank you Jesus
Probably with a freak, her name Tanika, she a skeezer
Order more bottles, tell ‘em more rosé
Dope boy swag, gold rollie and some J’s
I be wildin’ on your niggas – stylin’ on your niggas
Go and cop a whip and then I Instagram a picture
What your money like? What get your cheddar up?
My paper long, bitch, etcetera, etcetera

Si les paroles de 'Got Damn' contiennent des erreurs, laisse nous un commentaire. On fera le maximum pour les corriger dans les plus brefs délais.

Of course Obama favors illegal aliens, as he is an illegal alien himself,.

"But you must not be a felon", isn't crossing the border illegally still a felony? It sure is in Mexico!

A) Please provide your evidence that The President of the United States is a "illegal alien"

B)Jose did not cross the border illegally
C) He is from the Philippines, so I am not sure where your comment about Mexico comes from.

Why is this a story? Go interview some people down along California Avenue if you want to find some one who this change in policy applies to. Either that or find an Asian or East Indian student now at a local university paying California resident tuition at worst, or on a free ride at best, who this policy might also apply.

As for Vargas, I'm sure he will keep expecting special treatment just because he feels he deserves it.

Jose crossed the border illegally. As he wrote in "My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant" published in NY Times

"Lolo scraped together enough money — I eventually learned it was $4,500, a huge sum for him — to pay him to smuggle me here under a fake name and fake passport."

He also had a fake green card, a fake passport, a driver's license.

No one should get special treatment for being here illegally.
They need to go through due process, just like every other immigrant who has done the right thing.
Deport them and have them go through the proper protocol to be a US citizen or obtain a visa.

Good Taste: Cheese, fish, and Chinese (sort of) on Martha’s Vineyard

Cheeses from Fiddlehead Farm: left plate, clockwise from top left: Twig Farm Washed Wheel, Smoked Mozzarella, Hoja Santa goat cheese. Right plate, clockwise from bottom left: Bayley Hazen, Caso Iverno, Lake's Edge goats milk cheese. — Photo by Ralph Stewart

Cheese is one of those rare foods acceptable to enjoy at any meal: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. Cheesy eggs, grilled cheese, mac and cheese, melted cheddar on apple pie? Don’t knock it till you try it! Sharp cheddar melted on a slice of freshly baked apple pie or hidden in the crust is a tradition in many New England and Midwestern kitchens. It goes to show the range of what cheese, in its many forms, can add to countless dishes. These Island establishments have set the bar high above individually packaged slices of American.

Bob Skydell of Fiddlehead Farm sees something exciting happening in American cheese-making. Great cheese doesn’t necessarily have to come from France or Italy anymore, he insists. “What was happening with wine in America 30 years ago and brewing 15 years ago is happening with cheese today.” He credits his business partner, Rose Willett, for the farm stand’s small but impeccably stocked cheese section, where you’ll find cheeses from around the world — and around the corner, like Mermaid Farm’s feta. Ms. Willett is the in-house cheese expert and is happy to navigate the different styles with a cheese novice because while Fiddlehead’s selection is comprehensive, it is not familiar. “We don’t sell supermarket cheese,” Mr. Skydell explains. “We specialize in great cheese.”

Check out Cowgirl Creamery’s Old Kentucky Tomme, an aged goat’s milk cheese with more structure than what you are probably used to in a goat cheese; and Cypress Grove’s Truffle Tremor, laced with the indescribably delicious flavor of truffles. Fiddlehead also carries interesting accoutrements to serve alongside whichever cheese suits your fancy. Small decorative jars line the main room of the farm stand and sit perched on the cheese cooler, filled with novelties like sweet onion confit, pear mustard, quince paste, and apricot cumin orange zest. Fiddlehead is open until Columbus Day, when they will hold their “everything must go blowout sale,” on Sunday, Oct. 9.

Black Sheep/Trio is an establishment dedicated to cheese and the delicious things that go with it. Stop in for a “flight,” a pairing of three cheeses and perhaps a glass of wine. Barely Buzzed is among my favorites, a cheddar style cheese with a rind that has been rubbed with finely ground espresso beans and lavender, lending an earthy nuttiness to the semi-firm cheese. Black Sheep is now open for lunch Tuesday through Saturday, offering five small dishes perfect for an afternoon snack, and yes, they can serve wine during the day, if you’re in the mood for that kind of lunch.

If you’re up-Island for lunch, try the Menemsha Café’s fresh mozzarella with Pam’s pesto, basil, mint, and tomato on sourdough for $10.95. The Menemsha Café is open for breakfast and lunch daily from 7 am to 3 pm. Chef/owner Josh Aronie is serving his tasty, locally inspired dinners on Friday and Saturday evenings from 5:30 to 8 pm.

In Oak Bluffs, the Martha’s Vineyard Chowder Company continues to churn out their award-winning chowder while adding another venture to their seafood restaurant: cheese-making. Their house-made ricotta is soft and billowy, served in a small ceramic pot, drizzled with olive oil and toasted bread for dipping. It’s priced at $6 and perfect to share while you wait for the main course or with a few other appetizers.

State Road Restaurant offers a similar dish, house-made ricotta made from The Grey Barn and Farm cow’s milk, olive oil, and crostini for $16, as well as a regional artisanal cheese plate served with State Road Garden cherry tomato jam and spiced pecans.

Both State Road and Détente have realized the wonders of burrata, a mozzarella-like cheese with a creamy center. State Road serves it with their own garden’s heirloom tomatoes, basil pesto, North Tabor Farm greens, and pickled red onion for $16, while Détente serves it sliced with red and yellow beets, North Tabor greens, orange supremes, and toasted pistachios for $12.

Insider tip: my favorite burrata (I’ve tried a few) can be found at Cronig’s. Maple Brook Farm in Bennington, Vermont, makes it by hand and packages it in a light sea salt bath. Paired with heirloom tomatoes, some sea salt, and olive oil, you’ve got yourself a meal.

Rumor has it that Atria is staying open this winter. Their cozy, cavernous downstairs brick cellar bar will be a great place to have a burger and a beer in the cold months. Their lobster mac and cheese is stuffed with cheddar, mascarpone, and goat cheese, and all of their burgers come with a wine suggestion. Standard burger cheeses like American and pepper jack are available, or go decadent with St. Andre on the Frenchy, which also has crispy prosciutto, baby arugula, and cabernet roasted onions, for $16.

Bring your own fish

On another note, in celebration of the Martha’s Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby, which started last Sunday, Ken ‘N Beck in Oak Bluffs is offering to “cook your catch.” Bring in your filleted fish (the chef will filet it for an extra charge), choose from a list of sides and preparations, and enjoy your catch, prepared by chef Dunstan Smith.

Did you know?

That Peking Palace in Falmouth delivers…to the Vineyard? Check out their Chinese and Japanese menu online, place your order on the phone, and they’ll send your meal over on the Patriot boat, which docks in Oak Bluffs. Delivery is available Monday through Friday and arrives at 2:30, 3:45 and 5 pm. An $8 delivery charge applies to all orders.

Comedy and Dancing Teej Song - Munal Digital

नया दशैँ तिहारका mp3 गीत सुन्नुहोस् साथै डाउनलोड गर्नुहोस्

Presenting VIDEO Song Jukebox "Best Nepali Teej Songs" only on Music Nepal official channel.

The Right for this video is provided by Munal Digital Pvt.Ltd.
The Tij Festival is basically the festival of ladies and for the most part having a place with the different tribes of Nepalese society, uncommonly the Bahun Chettri and others. In Nepal and a few sections of India which happens on the third day after the new moon of the month of Bhadra

A "celebration of sisterhood," Teej has conventional and current qualities as a celebration of praising great times with kin. In spite of the fact that it would seem that it is festivity of sisterhood since when hitched ladies get uncommon opportunity to meet with sisters and companions from their origination, there is a solid part of siblings to praise the celebration as they are to call their sisters in this promising event and cook extraordinary sustenance for theirs sisters, and every one of the young ladies appreciate time doing make up to look the best and move to overlook the torment they get from their in laws, which is communicated as society tunes with specific mood.

Customary Values:

As indicated by Hindu mythology, Shree Swosthani Bratakatha, Goddess Parvati fled from her home with her companions to wilderness as she was anxious about the possibility that that her dad Himalaya guaranteed to master Bishnu to give his little girl Parvati in marriage. She then went to wilderness and began supplicating Lord Shiva to satisfy her desire to get hitched to him. He said "tathastu" which means he will satisfy her desire. That was the day of teej when Parvati got her significant other as her undying wish. So this day is praised to get the spouse of their fantasy by unmarried ladies and for long, solid and prosperous existence of husband by wedded ladies.

There is an extra celebration celebrated by the ladies of Nepal, in conjunction with the Tij - the Rishi Panchami. The Rishi Panchami spins around the immaculateness of ladies. It is a period when ladies wash down themselves of the conceivable "sin of touching a man amid monthly cycle." During this celebration, which happens two days after the Tij, the ladies take an interest in custom showers and puja (love). One of the characterizing attributes of the Tij Festival is the melodies the ladies sing. Generally, these tunes stressed the subservient part of ladies in Nepalese society notwithstanding fortifying conventional Hindu belief system of sexual orientation relations. Inside the previous couple of decades, as Nepal and the encompassing zone encounters quick improvement and modernization, the Tij tunes have turned out to be even more a basic editorial on sexual orientation relations from ladies' points of view. These tunes "amplify the ladies' musings and encounters of hardships from a cozy discussion to an open setting." The Tij tunes permit ladies to impact change in their individual social orders by giving them an open voice.

Baseball bat-blocking Dad: Just protecting my son

By Amanda McKenzie, Reporter
Last Updated: Tuesday, March 08, 2016, 10:31 AM EST

Talk about a close call. Some quick thinking from a dad blocked an errant baseball bat from hitting his son square in the face this weekend.

The incident happened on Saturday at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex as the Atlanta Braves took on the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Shaun Cunningham of Marion County planned to take his eight-year-old son Landon to his first major league game to watch their favorite baseball team, the Braves. But Landon has a lot more to talk about at school than peanuts and Cracker Jacks. He is now bragging about his dad, his hero.

“The bat came flying at me, my dad did this to block me," Landon said as he threw his arm in front of his face.

Photos taken by Pittsburgh Tribune-Review photographer Christopher Horner capturing that split-second save went viral.

“It was going so fast I didn’t even hear it," Landon said.

Sitting three rows behind the Braves dugout, Landon was trying to send a photo of Pirates player Danny Ortiz to his mom using his dad’s cell phone.

“I was watching the game and I saw the bat flying," Shaun Cunningham said. "It just slipped out of Danny Ortiz’s hand. And I saw it heading towards him. I didn’t have a lot of time. Guess I’d call it Dad-mode. Just protecting my son.”

Response on social media is hailing that Dad-reflex the most heroic play of the game.

“It’s a good size bat, it definitely would’ve left a mark on an 8-year-old kid, especially in the face," he said.

Instead, dad took the hit.

“Left a pretty good bruise and mark, but it’s getting better," he said.

Landon only felt the tip of the bat strike his shoulder as it flew over his head.

After paramedics finished checking out the father and son, the two stayed to finish watch the Pirates beat the Braves 9-6. But they had a new souvenir.

“This is the bat right here," Landon said showing off his new prized possession.

And a great story to tell.

“I have a great dad!" Landon exclaimed. "My dad’s a hero!”

Shaun said that despite the close call, he is very excited for his son to have such a memorable first experience at a major league game. He said they will treasure that baseball bat forever and are now hoping to get it signed by Danny Ortiz, the Pirates player responsible for the slip.

Shaun Cunningham demonstrates where the bat hit him as he deflected it from his son at the Braves-Pirates game Saturday. He and his son got to take the bat home.

Lalthara exhorts differently abled

Colour fusion organized fashion night (Season 1) in aid of people with disability at State Academy Hall with Lalthara (IAS) chief secretary Government of Nagaland as the chief guest on Wednesday. Lalthara in his speech said in true sense the disabled were differently abled people.
He also mentioned that normal people have an opportunity to serve God through helping people with disability.
He said “It is not easy to help or serve the rich, strong and celebrities people but it is easy to love, care and help the disable people and can be done by everyone”.
“Everyone is special before God and the disabled need more help to use their talent”, he said.
Highlights of the programme were opening song by Cherry Blossom school, Kohima, fashion show, song by Renbeni Odyuo (Naga Idol 0.5), Shenieta, Imli Lee and Shekhotalü, dance by Khreibu and friends.
Vote of thanks was delivered by Naomi Ringa.

South African resistance leader, president and Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela passed away last week.  His efforts at opposing apartheid and supporting civil rights in South Africa from the 1950s until his release from prison in 1990 marked him as one of the most influential political prisoners and social reformers of his time.  Many regard him as an international symbol of human rights, as demonstrated by several world leaders travelling to attend his state funeral tomorrow.  He was 95 years old.

Nelson MandelaA look at the Encyclopedia of World Biography sheds light on his more than 60-year legacy.  The son of a Xhosa chief in the Transkei, or "black homeland" of South Africa, Mandela left to study law at Witwatersrand University and began practicing in 1952 - at the same time he joined the Youth League of the African National Congress (ANC).  This was a turbulent time in the apartheid resistance movement, and Mandela and his younger nationalists debated the utility of nonviolent tactics.  As the Youth League leader, Mandela was actually sentenced to his first 9 months in jail for his association with militants.  As the 1960s dawned, Mandela's links to the then-banned ANC and later the Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation) led to his involvement in the Rivonia trial, where he was sentenced to life in prison on Robben Island.

It was at this trial, notably, that Mandela made a point of placing himself above racism.  According to the Encyclopedia, he said:

"I want at once to make it clear that I am not a racialist and do not support any racialism of any kind, because to me racialism is a barbaric thing whether it comes from a black man or a white man."

And it was during this 27-year prison sentence that his example of Mandela and de Klerkquiet suffering for the cause of human rights earned him martyrdom in the eyes of so many.  Moved several times for his influence on fellow prisoners as well as personal illnesses, Mandela nonetheless remained a figure of apartheid resistance while incarcerated.  Boycotts and civil unrest mounted in the 1970s and '80s, and in 1990, President de Klerk was finally convinced by worldwide outcry to release Mandela.  He and Mandela eventually worked together in the Convention for a Democratic South Africa to establish a Democratic government in 1994, winning them both the Nobel Peace Prize.

Take a moment to honor this impressive world figure at Naperville Public Library.  Browse our shelves or delve into our online resources (Opposing Viewpoints in Context has especially good sources) to remember his important teachings.

Hamptons International – Market update – 9th June 2016

Hamptons International Market update

Good afternoon everyone,

For those of you who are new to these reports I add all my current vendors, past valuations and current buyers to a list of recipients for a regular (roughly once a month) update of what’s really happening in the market.  There’s no sales patter and no pushiness, it’s just an honest and open take on the market as we see it.  As ever, if you want to be removed from the list please just ask.

It is with a considerable measure of sadness that this will be my last market update, as the next one will be brought to you by the newly promoted Tara Sinclair.  As many of you know, my role recently has been increasingly focussed on my various offices rather than on the day to day events in just Battersea.  Tara joined the Northcote Road office a year ago and the intention has always been to make her my successor and so I am therefore delighted to announce that we have now promoted her to be the new Branch Manager of the Battersea office.  Tara is already well known to many of you, She joined the Battersea office last year as the Assistant Manager having been one of Hamptons’ highest performing Associates in the Clapham office for four years. Her customer service levels are exceptional and her structured and tireless approach to being as productive as possible every working day makes her a superb estate agent and, now, manager.  Tara has been doing the vast majority of valuing for Battersea in recent months and has been acting in a managerial capacity for the team for some time so I am confident that she will step seamlessly into this exciting new stage in her career when she formally takes over the reins on Monday 20th June.

I will not be far away however, I still live just around the corner from the office and I will continue as Chairman of the Northcote Business Network so events such as the Summer Fete and Christmas market will still continue to be ostensibly organised and run by the Hamptons Northcote Road team.  Do keep an eye out for the hanging baskets along Northcote Road which should be arriving in the next few weeks – this is the second year we have organised these and many local businesses have contributed to their provision.

So, what’s going on in the world of property at the moment?  In a word, busy.  As I have mentioned in previous updates, we have definitely had to get used to a different way of working.  Sales take much longer to put together as both buyers and sellers tiptoe around offers, each trying to ensure that they end up with the best possible ‘deal’ for themselves. Some buyers will offer low with the intention of holding back for later negotiation, whilst others will make a ‘one and only’ offer and if it’s not accepted simply walk away. For us agents it’s often difficult to discern which buyer is which, so if you are looking to make an offer its always worth spending some time with us to get our advice on how to proceed – after all we only get paid if we sell the property so it’s in everyone’s interest to get you to a point where a sale can be agreed!!

Overall we are almost exactly on budget for the year which, when you consider that targets were set in November last year, is no mean feat. Our viewings to offer ratio has almost doubled and sales overall take much longer to put together, but the result does seem to be that we generally have much more committed buyers and sellers.  On the whole our fall through rate is very low, certainly against the national average of around 30%, however we have had a couple of sales recently where the buyer had negotiated a good price and then simply leveraged this against a different property and pulled out a few days later.  Whilst clearly frustrating for both the vendors and ourselves, we are not the only agent going through this and when it happens it merely redoubles our resolve to re-agree the property to the next buyer.  We are also seeing a significant number of offers being made by buyers with related sales themselves.  It’s somewhat of a paradox that the same buyers who are using the uncertainty of the referendum to make low offers on properties we are selling, and yet are also expecting that their own property will sell at an inflated price and within days!!  If you are looking to buy and have somewhere to sell yourselves then you really do need to get on the market before you go out looking.

Clearly there is much chat around the referendum at the moment (is anyone else as fed up with all the rhetoric surrounding all this as I am?!!?) but all will be over in a few weeks.  Funnily enough, all of our current buyers seem to be relatively ambivalent about the whole thing – I have spoken to many of them in the last few weeks and the most prevalent view seems to be that life will go on, they need to move and there’s a good amount of stock to choose from.  Our Balham office has had more offers in the last week than they had in almost all of May so clearly people are keen to get on with things.  Frequently both buyers and sellers feel that they are making their move based on at least a five year plan, and so what may or may not happen in the next couple of years was fairly irrelevant. If we stay ‘in’ then they will have made the very best of the current fully stocked market and if we exit then they will still need a roof over their heads and they prefer to own rather than rent. It all makes a great deal of sense.

And so on with our usual round up of current stock.  As ever, we look at what is on the market, at what price levels and how long places are taking to sell.  The table below shows all of the fully available (not yet under offer) stock between the commons, from Bolingbroke Grove to Clapham Common and from Battersea Rise to Nightingale Lane (source- rightmove.co.uk):

Type of property No. available Average time on the market
(so far!!)
Average £/sqft No. available last month Average time last month Average
£/sqft last month
1 bed flat 13 81 days £946 15 95 days £984
2 bed flat 37 67 days £908 55 71 days £881
3 bed flat 12 65 days £821 20 95 days £815
House 56 76 days £847 62 99 days £843

The number of one bedroom flats has dropped slightly and asking prices have dropped back by around 4% which is much in line with our expectations.  The number of two bedroom flats has also dropped, as has the amount of time on the market – a clear indicator that the savvy buyers are making the best of the number of properties available and the willingness of vendors to be flexible on price.  The number of three bedroom flats on the market has returned to more normal levels as some developers have made the decision to rent rather than sell for the time being.  We are also starting to see a reduction in the number of houses on the market which in many ways is welcomed, however it’s too early to predict whether the lower amount of stock is due to properties being sold or just the vendors getting frustrated with the market and withdrawing altogether.  The prices in terms of £/sqft have also nudged up fractionally.

And that really is it from me.  It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to have been able to share my thoughts with so many people over the years, when I started these market updates I had no idea how they would be received so when I started getting requests from complete strangers to ‘add them to the list’ it was a complete surprise and I know that various other Hamptons offices have now also followed suit.  I have no doubt that Tara will continue to update you with everything that’s going on locally – I have offered to help her with the first few, and at least they’re likely to be a bit shorter than mine!! In the meantime I look forward to seeing the outcome on the 24th and hopefully catching up with some familiar faces at the Northcote Road Fete on 10th July.

As ever, this update, as well as all of my previous missives is available to view on my blog, which also links to our Twitter feed and can be seen here:

News Releases

NASA Engineers Visit the Classroom
NASA Glenn Research Center
Cleveland, Ohio

Sallie A. Keith
Media Relations Office
Phone: 216-433-5795

Release: 04-013

Engineers are practical inventors who use science and technology to turn ideas into reality, making our lives easier, healthier, more productive and fun. In order to create a better understanding of what engineers do, more than 80 engineers from NASA's Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, will visit students in classrooms throughout Northeastern Ohio during National Engineers Week, February 22-28.

Students, grades K-12, will meet with Glenn employees representing aerospace, chemical, computer, electrical, environmental, material, mechanical and research engineering. By sharing the ways they use mathematics and science in their jobs, the engineers hope to excite students and encourage them to consider a future career in engineering.

Engineers visiting elementary schools will share hands on activities such as allowing students an opportunity to build their own paper plane to see how added weight affects flight. Older students may get to see demonstrations of engine parts or wind tunnels. All of the students will get to see first hand the passion that Glenn engineers hold for their profession.

This program of classroom visits is part of the National Engineers Week activities in the Cleveland area and is supported by Glenn's Educational Programs Office in conjunction with the Cleveland Area National Engineers Week Committee.

The National Society of Professional Engineers established National Engineers Week in 1951. Its purpose is to increase public awareness and appreciation of the engineering profession.

Each year National Engineers Week takes place at the time of George Washington's birthday. His agricultural, military and land-surveying skills led to his acquiring the title of our nation's first engineer. He directed a growing society toward technical advancements, invention and education. An order issued by George Washington in June 1778 called for engineers and engineering education and is considered to be the origin of the U.S. Army Engineering School.

To determine which schools are participating in this year's program, please refer to the following list. Media representatives interested in covering these visits will need to make arrangements directly with the schools involved.
