Yayyyyyy… <drumroll plzzzzz....>

Here goes a small note to my gang:

Cheers to:

All the crap that we together love to do,
The world would call us insane if they knew...
All the shit that we love to talk,
All the laughs that we can’t stop...
All the gossip that we share,
The fun we have together is so rare...
All our stupid inside jokes,
Feel bad for those about whom we mock...
All the tears that we shed together,
All the pain that we bear for each other...
Its hard to define the bond we share,
Standing together even in times of despair...
Cheers to all the fun, gossip, tears and beers,
Which keeps on multiplying with every year...

Love ya alllllll... Keep smiling and stay blessed...

Why do we need double identity always???

These days, as unable to read newspaper regularly, I start my day with having a glance at the major news websites. And after reading a piece, I like reading those comments that people leave at the end of the news. I like doing that because I love to know different people's opinions on different things/news/topics. They are at times interesting and can really give you new angles to see the things, can provide you fresh thoughts and can show you new facets of viewing things.

And I tell you, you will find the comments of each and every genre out there! Outrageous, hilarious, religious (that are not even related to the news), shocking, awful, admirable, genuine, disgraceful, shameful, angry etc etc etc... The list is never-ending...

And at times, the worst is when people just starting fighting over silly things out there... When people start commenting at each other's religion just for the sake for it: and most of the times the news is not even related to the same!

But one thing is so common in all of them and you know what is it? In 90% cases, people never dare to disclose their identity. They have guts to write all sort of nonsense about others, about each others religion but alas, have no guts to even reveal their real name!!! Yes, some people mention their names, and they are those who genuinely put the comment. They are not like those idiots for whom the comment text boxes are a source of emitting out their negative energies. They look at it as a space that gives them freedom to release their anger and irritation! I mean I feel pity on such idiots: Who try to portray bold but are really cowards. Who needs dubious identity for themselves, for putting forth their own views. They can't even stand openly next to their own opinions. Such kind of people want to live with both the identities: One: the real one or rather I should say the pretentious one which is the goody goody image one and two: the real one which is full of hatred and abhorrence  which is filled with negative thoughts that are hidden somewhere and if disclosed is always done very carefully, so much cautiously that even the strangers shouldn't be able to know their names!

Now tell me what name will you give to such cowards?? The worst is more than half of the people who comment on these sites are like that! Sad! Why can't people be what they are? Putting outrageous comments is not bad, I am nobody to condemn any one's actions... We all live in a free country thankfully and everyone has a right to put forth their opinion whenever wherever and in whatever form/ words they feel like. Also, everyone has an opinion of their own, everyone has a different understanding of things... The only thing I feel bad about is if you have an audacity to put forth your opinion on a public forum then why cant be you be bold enough (rather I should say man enough) to put it with your name! Why do you need a dubious identity to take out the negative thoughts? Why do you need a separate name for putting forth your opinions? And if you are so scared of getting recognized then don't dare to even put forth those hatred things...

Anyways, that's my opinions and my views:)

All I want to say is I hate and just hate the hypocrites in our society who have really made it so hollow!!!

More Activities - Bigger Attendances

During the local election campaign last year, one issue which constantly came up on the doorstep was the lack of activities at the state of the art Shoeburyness Youth Centre. My fellow ward colleagues and I were determined to resolve this and ensure that there were more activities for our young people in the ward.

I have been involved in an action group to help increase the number of activities at the centre. I was delighted to see an article in yesterday's Echo which has seen attendance at the centre double and more youth activities provided. It was also nice to see the work of your three councillors recognised.

Do As I Say Not As I Do

Following my post and Cllr Holdcroft's last weekend on cruising it would appear that that Labour Milton councillor Julian Ware-Lane has got a little hot under the collar this week after being exposed for wanting the unauthorised cruise to go ahead on Marine Parade.

After Cllr Holdcroft and I were accused of being unprincipled and dishonest it was nothing short of remarkable in the discussion that followed that when pressed to clarify, in the unlikely event that I was wrong, Cllr Ware-Lane refused to answer the question if he wanted the unauthorised cruise event, which had threatened public safety to his residents, to go ahead and repeatedly refused to give a straight answer. The silence, for me, spoke volumes.

In a further post, Cllr Ware-Lane accused us both of misinterpreting his views. So when someone takes the moral high ground you expect then to practise what they preach. Right? Well it appears that this rule should apply to everyone except the holier than thou Cllr Ware-Lane.

Suspecting that Cllr Ware-Lane is out for revenge, in a post that Cllr Holdcroft made on the extension of the Prittlebrook Green Way through Belfairs he made the unbelievable link between a cycle path and Cllr Aylen having a mental condition, falling into the very trap he accuses Cllr Holdcroft of.

Having read Cllr Holdcroft's post, any reasonable person would know that he was making the link between Cllr Aylen's imaginary route taking out hundreds of trees and the actual route which takes out none. In trying to make a play on words Cllr Ware-Lane trivialises the serious issue of mental illness.

This is all the more shocking considering the well publicised and public mental health issues of one of his own group members which got them into a spot of bother with the police. Throughout this period all 51 councillors showed remarkable dignity and I was delighted to see that particular member make a recovery and a return to public life.

To accuse Cllr Holdcroft of insinuating to another members mental health in a baseless accusation is just conducting politics from the gutter.

Former Southend Labour Candidate Back in the News

Former Labour Thorpe and Belfairs candidate Matt Zarb-Cousin made an return to the news this week. Followers of this blog will recall that this time last year that the former Southend Labour candidate made national news for likening the Queen to benefits scrounger on the day that she marked 60 years on the throne.

Political blogger Guido Fawkes this week broke the news that Matt, now working as a lobbyist for the anti-betting Campaign for Fairer Gambling, still holds a House of Commons pass for Pamela Nash MP despite last working for her in 2011.

When contacted by Guido, Matt confirmed that he has used the pass to gain access to Parliament in his capacity at Fairer Gambling. Now over to Labour to see how they deal with this misconduct. Then again, did I just see a pig fly?

The Sums Do Not Add Up

It seemed Red Ed Miliband tried to woo the nation yesterday with a Valentine's Day treat - a policy. Until now Ed Miliband has offered nothing but a blank page. As soon as he started to utter his first words, at last we began to see why.

Red Ed announced that Labour will reintroduce the 10p tax rate scrapped by Gordon Brown in the fag end of the last Labour Government. It was announced that this would funded by the Lib Dem policy of a mansion tax on houses over £2 Million. Funny that.

Ed may think that he has pulled the wool over the public's eyes, but his announcement was nothing more than a masterclass in hypocrisy and shameless spin.

First: the hypocrisy. Back in 2008, when he was in government and had to actually account for the pledges Labour dreamt up, Ed was a leading supporter of the 10p tax abolition claiming that scrapping the 10p rate “makes the tax system fairer”.

Shameless. Worst of all, however: the spin. Balls and Miliband have announced that they will fund their new flagship policy with a mansion tax on properties worth over £2 million. Just the two problems.

One: Labour have already committed to spending the money raised through a mansion tax on reversing the Coalition’s cuts to tax credits.

Two: Even if the cash had not already been set aside for something else, the mansion tax would only raise £2 billion. That figure is a considerable distance short of the £7 billion required to pay for reversing the abolition of the 10p rate.

So the Labour leader has pledged to reverse a policy that he himself implemented and has offered no credible explanation about how it would be funded. This is magic money politics, disingenuous in the extreme. Then we wonder why the country is in the economic mess it is in.

All About the Seafront This Week

Most of my time this week has been dominated by two key issues on he seafront. Last weekend I was made aware of the terrible incident on City Beach involving a cyclist and a pedestrian on the footpath outside Chinnery's.

I sincerely hope that the young girl makes a swift and full recovery but spent most of Monday answering media requests around the safety of City Beach. Although the incident is still subject to a police investigation, early indications would suggest that the incident was a case of a cyclist cycling on a pavement hitting a pedestrian.

Whilst that area of Marine Parade is shared space, the footpath outside the amusements and Chinnery's  has always been designated for pedestrians where the seafront side is dual purpose for both cyclists and pedestrians. Once full details have been released by the police, officers will naturally look to see if there are any highway implications as a result.

On Thursday, officers were successful in obtaining an injunction to prevent an unofficial and unauthorised cruise event. The cruise had been switched by the organisers from Colchester and if allowed to go ahead would have cause mayhem for residents, visitors and traders.

When organisers were talking about a 'takeover' of Southend conjuring up images of loud music, wheel spinning, racing of vehicles and anti-social behaviour. There is no way that residents in Kursaal and Milton wards have done anything to deserve that.

Whilst I was doing a tour of the airwaves Friday and appearing on BBC Look East yesterday to explain to residents the reasons why we have taken this action, I was staggered that a Labour Milton councillor and two Independent Party councillors were actually critical of officers and the administration for obtaining the injunction.

Along with my fellow ward and cabinet colleague Cllr Jarvis, we joined officers and the police yesterday evening in monitoring the situation. Fortunately, everything passed off peacefully. It was also pleasing that visitors were not put off from coming and it was very much business as usual with Southend open for business.

Youth Mayor and Deputy Mayor Announced

This week Megan Sylvester, from Shoeburyness High School and Chris Copley from Westcliff High School for Boys were named as Youth Mayor and Deputy Mayor.

I always like to keep an eye out on the work that Southend Youth Council do. Being closely involved as the borough's Youth Champion in my early years of being a councillor ensured this.

During the election process for the Youth Mayor, I was pleased and pleasantly surprised to hear at last week's Shoebury Debate that Shoeburyness High School had the highest turnout. I think it is fantastic that young people in Shoebury are engaged in the political process and wish Megan and Chris every success in their roles.

Food Recycling Made Easier

I have mentioned previously that liners for the blue food waste bins were soon to be made available free of charge for local residents.

I was delighted to be able to announce this week that the free liners will be available from March and April and from then on be delivered to homes every six months.

I believe that by having the liners immediately available, residents can instantly use them for their food waste recycling, rather than them having to undergo the extra effort of wrapping items of waste food in newspaper.

This town has a very good record on recycling but we can do more. Residents have become well accustomed to recycling opportunities such as using their pink recycling sacks, and many are already keen food waste recyclers.

To keep up the momentum and encourage everyone in the borough to recycle their food waste, to help us at least reach our recycling target of 60 per cent by 2015. Residents who would like to use the food waste recycling service now but do not have a blue food waste bin are urged to contact 01702 215 006.

The Floods of 1953 Remembered

This week marked the 60th anniversary of the 1953 floods which wreaked havoc in this part of the of the country. Canvey Island was very badly hit. Southend and Shoebury were not immune either, although no lives were lost.

There have been official events to commentate the occasion but I have particularly enjoyed reading the numerous features in the Echo over the course of the week. With the devastation that was caused I believe that the floods of 1953 are one of those events that we should never be allowed to forget.

In the lead up to the anniversary, I knew it was inevitable that the issue of the proposed flood defences for Shoebury Common would be back in the spotlight. In some ways I am pleased that this happened, as the events in 1953 and the tragic loss of life should act as a timely reminder that improvements are required to our sea defences to protect livelihoods, lives and homes for today's and future generations.

Whilst I appreciate there are some who are opposed to the idea of an embankment at Shoebury Common, I do believe that all are united in welcoming the fact that money has been set aside for improved flood defences and that the issue of improved flood defence are high up on Southend Councils agenda.

It was interesting that whilst listening to the rest of the BBC Essex radio debate on the Shoebury Common flood defences that I was asked to participate in early on Friday morning, there has certainly been a shift in opinion by those opposed in that originally the basis of their opposition was that the experts and the Environment Agency have got it wrong and that Shoebury Common was not at risk of flooding, to an acknowledgement that there is a flood risk at Shoebury Common and
improvements to defences are required although disagreements remain at what those improvements should be.

To obtain funding from the Environment Agency for improvements to flood defences there needs to be a preferred scheme identified which can demonstrate value for money. I was somewhat puzzled by the readers letter from Shoeburyness Independent Party councillor Mike Assenheim in Thursday's Echo which seems to indicate that he is wobbling in his support. I know this wouldn't be the first time as it is still fresh in the memories of some of the four different positions that he held on the East Beach enhancements a few years back

I can only assume that Cllr Assenheim may still have some of the amber nectar in the blood stream from his recent visit down under, if he feels that supplying every home with one roll of black refuse sacks every six months is more important than allocating money for improved flood defences which will protect people's homes, lives and livelihoods.

It will be interesting as we go through the budget setting process to see if Cllr Assenheim proposes removing the capital funding for flood defences from the budget. Somehow I suspect not.

I did find it mildly amusing to be criticised for saying that residents are welcome to talk to me about the proposed flood defences at our Street Surgery on the 16 February especially when he continues to refuse holding a surgery so residents can meet him face to face and discuss issues of concern with him.

For those residents who attended the Shoebury Residents Association meeting last Spring will recall that I secured the promise from officers of a Public Meeting to be held at a venue in Shoebury as part of a wide ranging consultation on the matter. I will continue to hold officers to this promise and have been assured that a date for this meeting will be announced in the very near future.

I am happy to be criticised for securing the promise of a public meeting and can only assume that as
Cllr Assenheim remained quiet throughout the meeting was happy to proceed without the need of a public meeting.

To suggest that the embankment at Shoebury Common is also a done deal was also a foolish comment to make by Cllr Assenheim, especially as the funding for the scheme from the Environment Agency has not yet been finalised and would still require planning permission from the Development & Control Committee - a body on which Cllr Assenheim sits and would only be too well aware.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Cllr Assenheim in the Echo next week photographed next to the soil stored on Gunners Park for the proposed embankment voicing his objections. If he does, it is well worth remembering that he offered no objections to this when planning permission was granted by the Development & Control Committee.

Still, I suppose it makes a change from Cllr Chalk jumping on the bandwagon depending on which way the wind is blowing along Shoebury High Street.

Debate Shoebury VI

Yesterday, I was privileged to attend the annual Debate Shoebury at Shoeburyness High School which invites pupils from Shoeburyness High School and local primary schools to debate issues of concern to them with local councillors, council officers, local police and representatives from c2c.

It never ceases to amaze me that the issues that the issues raised are broadly similar to issues that are raised with me by their parents. It is understandable to presume that the issues would be centred around youth services but they are not.

It was amusing at last years event when the Shoeburyness High School pupils were discussing which areas they would like to see the council make savings and ironically chose Education a service that was protected.

The reoccurring theme was concerns raised about dog fouling particularly in parks. A suggestion was put forward by one of the young people that a letter should be given to all parents warning them of our dog control orders and that allowing dogs to foul in parks and pavements is an offence.

So good was the suggestion that following discussions with officers after the event they are preparing a template letter which could be issued to all schools in the borough for inclusion in school newsletters and will be debated at next Waste Working Party. Young or old, if suggestions are raised and put forward that could improve the town I will always act.

Primary Care in Shoebury

This week, the local NHS Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) held a board meeting to discuss Primary Care in Shoebury amongst other things including the proposal to send Blood Testing over 80 miles away in Bedford.

The CCG board announced that the proposal to build a new health centre on Gunners Park has been shelved for now which I'm sure will please many residents as when this option was first proposed some three years ago now had very little public support. I had my own objections to this particular scheme and even made a commitment never to support the proposal during my 2010 election campaign.

Due to concerns with the deterioration of Shoebury House the board also made the decision to stop providing services there with the current services undertaken moved to a number of different locations including the Thorpedene complex.

Some may have seen the article in yesterday's Echo confirming the closure of Shoebury House along with a picture of the Library at Thorpedene possibly giving the impression that Thorpedene Library was about to close as well. I will give the benefit of the doubt as the Echo may have intended to photograph the clinic,located in the same complex, to highlight that some services are about to be moved into Thorpedene.

Never the less, with how quickly the rumour mill can start, it is worth reassuring that there are no plans in the current budget to close any Libraries in the town. Whilst the majority of health provision does not fall under the council's responsibility, I will constantly challenge to ensure that the residents that my fellow ward colleagues and I represent have access to the best possible local healthcare provision.

No details have been given as to what the CCG will do with Shoebury House and is something that I will remain vigilant on. Details of the relocation of services from Shoebury House can be found in the briefing paper below which I was sent a copy of.

Survival of the Dead

08.23.2010 | By |

Rating: 2.0

Rated: R for strong zombie violence/gore, language and brief sexuality.
Release Date: 2010-05-28
Starring: George Romero
Film Genre:
Official Website:

 Go to our film page

George A. Romero, known as ‘the godfather’ of zombie movies, is releasing his new deadhead movie called ‘Survival of the Dead’ about two families who live in an island plagued by zombies.

The story centers on an island in the middle coast of North America where dead people are beginning to rise from their graves to eat their own offspring. The leaders of the two families on the island then quarrel about how to go about their strange situation… do they kill their deceased relatives, or would it be better to try and find a cure that could return them to a normal life. Many decisions are explored in this film.

If you’re going to see this film to entertain and frighten yourself, you will be very disappointed. Romero has long said he does make these films to scare his audience, rather he uses the horror genre to communicate a social and political message through the stories. Survival of the Dead is more given to devotees of the cult films of Romero and not so much to new audiences. Stay away.

If your computer is tripping the circuit breaker that means it is drawing too much power from one outlet. Please do the following：

1. Please make sure the computer is plugged directly into the wall outlet and do not use extension socket or other multiple outlet extension cords with the computer.

2. If the use of extension socket is necessary, avoid combined usage with other higher powered household appliances such as TV, audio amplifier, etc…

3. Contact your local electrician for information on how you can upgrade your house to accommodate higher electrical draw.

With "friends" like this who needs enemas? And this guy calls himself a "libertarian"?

Blood dancers cavort in celebration.

“I don’t see any constitutional bar to regulating high-capacity magazines,” Levy said in an interview with NBC. “Justice (Antonin) Scalia made it quite clear some regulations are permitted. The Second Amendment is not absolute.”

The comments by Levy, chairman of the board of the libertarian Cato Institute, come as Democratic Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of New York is preparing to circulate a bill Thursday to ban the sale or transfer of high-capacity magazines. Supporters took Levy’s comments as a sign that at least one gun rights advocates might be open to the idea.

Arctic Patriot said...

I will have to re-consider my support of Cato.

I didn't know they were led by those with anti-liberty extremist sympathies.

DB said...

I thought New York already had a ban on High-Cap magazines.

Libertarian said...

I think we can count him as one of the statist's fellow travellers.

The 20th century has over 200,000,000 people murdered by governments OUTSIDE of war and criminal executions (source Professor Rummel at University of Hawaii, just google "democide").

Without excusing loughner, how many millions of him does it take to match the record that we already have from governments?

They are where by far the biggest threat to life lurks.

Jesse Bogan said...

I think folks look at it wrong. Maybe the 30 plus mag is "full capacity", and therefor correct, and the diminished capacity mags are just inferior replacements. Funny how so many in the Liberty business have sliding scales of what they consider an infringement. Isn't that how we got to this point in the first place??

Jesse in occupied DC

Bad Cyborg said...

Damn good thing I don't already support the Cato Institute. I'd be yanking it ASAP if I were.

That boy is about as much of a libertarian as I am a socialist - which is to say NOT!

Exactly HOW does this knothead think restricting access to hi-cap mags would "prevent 'looney tunes' from committing more gun massacres"??

One more head for the list. Damn! Looks like you folks on the coasts are living in a truly "target rich" environment. When the SHTF you folks ought to be able to get your C-head in no time flat.

Bad Cyborg X
If you outlaw guns, pretty soon only outlaws (and "loony tunes") will have guns.

oldsmobile98 said...

Mr. Levy,

What if Justice Scalia is not the final authority on the meaning of the Second Amendment?

What then?

Fat Baly Caver said...

Does this show the Cato Institute as just another bunch of gun grabbers?

or worse still, as the unwitting tools of the grabbers?

The British NRA was one of the first to sell out in both British gun bans, and they were followed by many other "shooting" organizations, each wanting to buy influence by throwing British gun owners under the bi-partizan bus.

MamaLiberty said...

I have been disappointed in Cato for a long time. No support from me in at least 20 years.

Concerned American said...

Beltway fever.

Or as I told a friend today, "The so-called good guys will hold you down while the bad guys do the bad things to you."

Any questions?

Anonymous said...

I don't believe there is a governmental power to regulate magazine capacities, but is they are successful....

People... this is a reason to have more than a few mags, and strippers with chargers. If you want to be able to feed your tool until you can't feed no mo', then you'll need a ready supply of dinner plates - mo' mags.

They may come for those, too, at some point, or institute magazine registration. Simple matter of stamping the mag bodies with a serial number for tracking purposes....

Tonto said...

The Second Amendment says, with no doubt that the GOG given right for any human to own and carry a gun is absolute, as is the GOD given right of self defense. There is no discussion. Any man made law that attempts to control, abridge or abrogate the GOD given rights of man is void, null, and illegal...and should be ignored.

Arctic Patriot said...

AHA! Truth is here:

oldsmobile98 said:

Mr. Levy,

What if Justice Scalia is not the final authority on the meaning of the Second Amendment?

What then?

And, of course, he's not. The final arbiter of 2A rights is right here.

*Holds up trigger finger.*

And the will to use it.

It's a self-perpetuating kinda thing.

Anonymous said...

They always use the template of dividing us so that they can win. In this case it means finding some dummy, in one of "our" organizations who will say what they want, so the can use it to fracture any unity.

Fortunately, there are many such people to choose from, so the media has no difficult at all, finding one.

Son of Sam Adams said...

Cato: a wholly-owned subsidiary of the George Soros of the Right, the Koch brothers. They exposed themselves when they went after Ron Paul in '07-08

Anonymous said...

Dont be so quick to condem CATO in total just because one dumbass does not get it. They have more valid opinions about government than the vast majority of think tanks. Just call this douche out and let them know about it. We dont need their permission to exercise our rights.

Defender said...

Every terrible implement of the soldier, Mr. Levy, and "shall not be infringed." Believe what you like, but we know better. You are no libertarian.

The Republican National Committee has a new chairman, replacing Michael "No one needs semi-auto rifles" Steele. Never heard of him. Have you?
One elephant's opinion:

Dr.D said...

The guy is a "Suit" and used to playing nice with the other "Liberal" and "Conservitive" Suits. To bad because a lot of good stuff come out of CATO.

Plenary Indulgence for the 100th Anniversary of Fatima

Pope Francis has provided an opportunity for a plenary indulgence for the 100th Anniversary of the Fatima apparitions during the centennial year: Nov. 27, 2016, through Nov. 26, 2017. One of the three ways to obtain the indulgence is to visit and venerate a statue of Our Lady of Fatima on the 13th of May, June, July, August, September, or October. The thirteenth day of those months marks the anniversary of each apparition.

In addition to visiting and venerating a statue on the Fatima anniversaries, the faithful must also receive Holy Communion, pray for the intentions of the Holy Father, and be detached from sin; in addition, either eight days before or after the anniversary, one must go to Confession.   These are the requirements for obtaining a plenary indulgence.

Fatima Centennial U.S. Tour for Peace

On Sunday, May 7, 2017, the International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Fatima will be at the Novitiate House of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  The Sisters would like to invite you to attend; specific times and events will be posted as the date approaches.  Please check back.

Also, please join the Sisters in praying:

O Queen of the Rosary, Sweet Virgin of Fatima, who has deigned to appear in the land of Portugal, we beg you to watch over our dear homeland and assure its moral and spiritual revival.
Bring back peace to all the nations of the world so that all, our own nation in particular, may be happy to call you their Queen and the Queen of Peace. Amen.
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for our country.
Our Lady of Fatima, obtain for all humanity a lasting peace.

Importance of a Spiriual diary

by Swami Sivananda

The keeping up of a daily spiritual diary is an indispensable requisite. It is certainly of paramount importance. Those who are already in the habit of keeping it know its incalculable advantages. A diary is a whip for goading the mind towards righteousness and God. The diary is your teacher and guide. It is the eye-opener. It will help you to destroy all your evil qualities and to be regular in your spiritual practices. It shows the way to freedom and Eternal Bliss. Those who wish to evolve rapidly must keep a daily record of their actions. If you regularly maintain a diary, you will get solace, peace of mind and quick progress in the spiritual path. Maintain daily diary and realise the marvellous results!

Mahatma Gandhi always advised his students to keep a daily diary. I am always keen on this point. My students keep five different kinds of notebooks. They write their Ishta Mantra in a notebook for one hour daily observing the vow of silence. There is a great deal of concentration in writing a Mantra in a notebook. It forms Japa also at the same time. They keep daily record of their actions. They keep a notebook for synonyms. Whenever they come across difficult words, they write down in the notebook those words with their synonyms. They at once refer to the dictionary. This gives a fund of knowledge. They will have a rich vocabulary of words. They can have good command of the language. Every week they go through their notebooks very carefully. They keep another notebook wherein they take down important points of what they read daily. They note down in another notebook my practical instructions which I give them casually. This develops their Manana Sakti or power of reflection. He who regulates his life on the above lines is sure to become a great man in a short time. There is no doubt of this. Do it practically and see how you grow.

All great men of the world keep diaries. The life of Benjamin Franklin is known to you all. He kept a daily diary. He noted down the number of untruths and wrong actions for which he was responsible during the course of the day. In course of time he became a perfect man. He had perfect control over his mind.

You will have to record in your diary the time you get up from the bed in the morning and retire to bed, the hours of sleep, the study of religious books, the number of Malas of Japa, how many hours you meditate daily, the nature of mistake you committed and the self-punishment you have given to rectify yourself in the form of fasting or increase in the number of Malas of Japa, etc., the lies you have uttered in the course of the day, how many times you became angry and how long it lasted, how many hours you spent in selfless service, how many times passion troubled you and how long it lasted, and the methods you adopted in checking it, the number of Pranayamas you did daily, how long you have practised Asanas and how many hours you have wasted in useless company and talk, etc.

You can add also how many hours did you observe Mouna daily. Did you keep vigils on Sivaratri, Sri Krishna Janmashtami or any other days? How many days did you fast? How many times you failed in the control of evil habits? Prepare a similar diary as shown elsewhere in this book and verify whether you are really progressing. Please send a copy of the diary to me every month. Just keep the diary for six months and then watch the results. If you want quick spiritual attainments, you should never neglect to record everything in your diary. To change the worldly nature it needs rigorous Sadhana. You should not hide your weaknesses and defects while making out daily diaries. It is only to correct and mould oneself, to purge out all weaknesses, defects and errors, to develop the divine nature and to attain Self-realisation that this diary is maintained. If the aspirant is sincere in his jottings the diary itself will become his silent master which will open his eyes and direct him Godward. All people keep Dhobi's diary and milk diary, but alas, they have neglected to keep up the most important diary i.e., Spiritual Diary which will help to correct one's mistakes and to attain quickly Self-realisation or the final beatitude of life.

A big thief is hiding himself in your brain. He has snatched away your Atmic pearl. He is giving you immense worries and troubles. He is deluding you. The thief is your mind. You must not be lenient towards him. You must crush him. You must kill him ruthlessly. There is no other sword sharper than this diary to kill him. It checks his happy-go-lucky ways and destroys him eventually. All your daily mistakes will be corrected if you maintain daily spiritual diary. A good time will come when you will be entirely free from anger, untruth, lust, etc. You will become a perfect man.

Your father and mother gave you this body. They gave you food and clothing. But this diary is superior to your parents. It shows the way to freedom and eternal bliss. It is your Guru. Turn the pages of your diary once a week. If you can record your actions every hour, your growth will be very rapid. Happy is the man who keeps a daily diary because he is very near to God. He has a strong will and is free from defects and mistakes.

By keeping daily diary you can then and there rectify your mistakes. You can do more Sadhana and evolve quickly. There is no other better friend and more faithful teacher or Guru than your diary. It will teach you the value of time. At the end of every month calculate the total number of hours you have spent in Japa, study of religious books, Pranayama, Asanas, sleep, etc. Then you will be able to know how much time you are spending for religious purposes. You have got every chance to increase the period of Japa, meditation, etc., gradually. If you maintain a daily diary properly without any fault in any of the items you will not like to waste even a single minute unnecessarily. Then alone you will understand the value of time and how it slips away.

Drifting into Fall

A lovely fall weekend in northern California, a couple of leisurely walks yesterday and today out in the sunshine with the dog (Windy Hill – from above and, even better, from below!), a very satisfying first try with a great new recipe, along with a fresh shipment from one of our very favorite wineries.

This trio of weeks from mid-October thru early November are just about my most favorite time of year. This season, what with a busy work schedule and lots of other stuff going on, it’s been hard to kick back and enjoy. But, we caught up on almost all of that this weekend!

A Nasty Business

Skaperkraft-notat: Towards a value-chain approach for combatting human trafficking.
13. Juni 2016

Human trafficking is a business. It is a nasty, inhumane, despicable business, but it is first and foremost a profitable commercial activity. Work by Siddharth Kara indicates that human 1 trafficking often produces substantial profit margins, returning 50% or more on time and capital invested. This profitability persists in spite of the laws that criminalize the underlying behaviors, which suggests that criminal law alone is insufficient to confront the problems of forced labor and sexual exploitation. In the past most slaves were either used in domestic or agricultural industries. Today’s victims are exploited in many different industries, industries that are more profitable then ever. Transactional sex, construction, domestic work, carpet weaving and various forms of garment manufacturing have all been found to contain forms 2 of human trafficking.

This essay proposes a system for broadening the attack on trafficking in persons by using a value-chain approach to the business ecosystem in which these crimes now thrive by dramatically reducing the profitability that drives this illicit market. This approach, to the authors’ knowledge, has not yet been tried. Given the limited success so far in the fight 3 against the modern enslavement of men and women, girls and boys, for licit and illicit ends, perhaps it is time to reconsider the fight from a new angle. This essay, then, is a call to expand the tools and strategy for counter-trafficking in persons in hope of decreasing the incidence of profit-based misery in this miserable activity.

  More On Halftones:
Process Color Halftones And Line Art

How does the printer or imagesetter create a halftone from a color or grayscale  image? The printer creates halftone dots by means of a halftone cell (below). A halftone cell is composed of a grid of pixels. Each pixel would be either solid black or solid white. The number of shades of gray which can be represented by a finished halftone image is limited by the number of pixels available in the halftone cell. Below is an example of a 16 x 16 halftone cell.

In the example above there are 16 x 16 = 256 possible shades of gray. If all the pixels were black the halftone dot would be 100% black. If all the pixels were white the halftone dot would be 0% black. If every other pixel were black, the halftone dot would be 50% black, etc.

In the above diagram, there are 188 black pixels out of a possible 256 in the halftone cell. The dot would have a grayscale value of 73.4% black.

There is a formula for calculating the maximum screen frequency a printer can output:

Thus, for a 1200 DPI Linotronic imagesetter, the maximum screen frequency for 256 shades of gray would be 75 and the maximum screen frequency for 64 shades of gray would be 150.

In actuality, though, one can get away with as few as 32 shades of gray in most any image. Thus, for a 150 line screen halftone, you can reduce the number of grays in your images to 64 or less to achieve satisfactory output on a 1200 DPI machine.

Process Color Halftones

Both color and grayscale halftone dots are created as shades of gray. "What?", you say. "Color halftones are shades of gray?" You see, even though the halftone will print using process color, each of the four color plates (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) is prepared from a black and white halftone negative. When printed and combined with their corresponding color, the result would be a color picture (below).

halftone7m_r2_c1.jpg halftone7m_r2_c2.jpg

Halftone Angle or "Slope"

Part of setting up the halftone in page layout is determining its angle or "slope". If the halftone were to be displayed with a slope of 0° it would be hard on the eyes. For this reason halftone dots are placed at an angle to each other to blend in better. The dots on a simple grayscale halftone need only be angled at 45°. But the dots on a process color halftone need to be offset from each other in a pattern so they appear harmonious. If you will notice in the representative image above, the cyan, magenta, yellow and black dots appear to form a circular group called a "rosette". The default angles vary with the separation printer selected for output. The default angles for cyan, magenta, yellow and black for a Linotronic 330 are:

Cyan 15°
Magenta 75°
Black 45°

Line Art Resolution Rule of Thumb

In the previous tutorial a rule of thumb was given for determining the resolution of a grayscale or color image. It is always better to use an EPS vector image for line art. However, if a bitmap must be used, the rule of thumb for line art is to scan or size it to 600 PPI to avoid the "jaggies". Line art bitmaps have to be scanned or sized at a much higher resolution than color or grayscale halftones.

The infamous dinner party attended by Leary and Nixon aide G. Gordon Liddy
Leary interviewed during 1967 at the height of the Hippie movement
"What are psychedelic drugs?" Dr. Leary, in his deliberate and delirious way, explains why it is that structure of society is collapsing beneath the weight of its symbolic refuse. And not only that... there's a way to see through it, dear friends... to see around it, to peer right into and laugh your ass off at it. Just the smallest drop of his efficacious mystery fluid and ping you'll get it, get past it, and get on with it. And the dear transcendently obsessed Doctor can make such a case for that, can't he? We all must have our poisons. Now that he has passed, we can all sit back and realize the fortune we have been to live within a time of such historical documentability that such great messages will be carried on endlessly into the societal reshuffling of our psycho-physical future. Hopefully, someone has ripped this disc and put it onto a fileshare somewhere, because there can't possibly be enough printed copies to go around.

The Sawdust Chronicle's Build Challenge

Surfaces: That is the the challenge for the build, That Rick Walters at The Sawdust Chronicle's has presented us this year, which fits prefect with something that I have been working on in my head for the last couple of weeks, It started with a friends son going off to college, and him complaining about not having a table to use his laptop on when he is sitting in his chair watching the TV. His dorm is small and the desk is cramped and he can't see his TV from the desk, so to solve the problem they got him a fold up tray that was designed to eat dinners off of, you know the type, every one has them in the closet, the old TV trays! not an idea solution.

Well that got me to thinking, there has to be a better design for a fold up table that has a little more style that could be used as a all propose desk or table and still fold up and placed out of the way when not needed.

Then last week I was ripping some boards with my table saw up on my portable work table which is to high for the task, and I got to thinking that the same type of folding table could be used as a tool stand as well as a portable computer desk.

That night I started doodling while watching TV and after about five sheets of drawings I came up with something I liked, then I drew it in SketchUp just to play with an idea I had, next step I want to get some card board and make a mock up before building the table.

When I do build the first table I think I will use plywood and 2x, because it will become my saw stand, after I know it will hold up I can tweak the design for style. I think this would be a great work surface for college student or any one with limited space, the surface can be used as a computer desk, art desk, dinning table, outdoor tables for the scouts, or a number of other possibilities that haven't even thought about.

Dyami said...

Nice design coming along. Based on Rick's attitude towards plywood, I'm assuming the more formal one will be for the challenge. What do you think you'll make that of? (don't worry, I'm not copying your design. I've got my own in my hear already).

Joey said...

Thanks for your comment, I think I will stay with plywood, for me the challenge of the design is to build a portable lightweight table, the prototype will actually become the saw stand for my table saw. Then the second one will be a camp table I will use for camping with my scout troop. I wouldn't mind doing one out of oak for my friends son with a little more arts and craft style to it, but that depends on money I already have the plywood and don't have purchase any more wood, and if I do the oak I will.

Catching up with The Hotrats and 65daysofstatic

First off, our apologies for missing a Tuesday … things have just been hectic.

Not long ago SDM commented about the need to “catch up” on albums that were not written about. So I looked through my collection and found two albums I really liked. One is a first for the SlowdiveMusic Blog: a cover album. And to follow SDM’s lead, I will not belabor these, as many of you may have heard these already, but I/we wanted them represented here. Hope you enjoy!

The Hotrats: “Turn Ons” (above)
65daysofstatic: “We Were Exploding Anyway” (below)

The Hotrats “Turn Ons”

The Hotrats are a cover band started by Gaz Coombies and Danny Goffey, who were also members of Supergrass. Originally tagged as a side-project, with this year’s release of “Turn Ons” (23 December 2009 in Japan, 19 January 2010 US, 25 January 2010 UK), they have released a minimalist collection of covers of some of the most influential names in music: The Beastie Boys, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, The Cure, The Doors, Gang of Four, The Kinks, Lou Reed/The Velvet Underground, Roxy Music, Sex Pistols, and Squeeze. (The iTune bonus tracks are covers by The Beat and The Pet Shop Boys.)

Okay, I am going to admit it: I am a huge Cure fan – and I am not in my 30s, 40s, or 50s! I had to listen to “The Lovecats” right away – a song written before I was born! And though no cover of The Cure will ever replace the original to me, I have to say that their rendition of “Lovecats” was on the money. Though not a straight cover (no piano or horns), the band captured the essence of the song: fun but claustophobic. By the way, getting rid of the piano for a guitar, though not a new concept, really gave the song a new, vibrant feel and again proves how The Cure’s songwriting is timeless.

Soon as I heard Hotrats version of “Queen Bitch,” originally sang by the one and only David Bowie, for a split second, I had thought it was David Bowie I was listening to – an alternate track maybe? One with a grittier, but more poppy and inviting feel to the song. All I can say to Hotrats is “Bravo” for taking a great song and updating it without damaging its integrity.

As long as the majority of indie and electro bands are releasing music that imitates the past, why not just reproduce the originals with a twist? A great album, with familiar songs, that will get you to sing along with them. And now that Supergrass is no longer together, who knows, we may just hear from the Hotrats again soon.

Track Listing:
1. I Can’t Stand It
2. Big Sky
3. The Crystal Ship
4. (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)
5. Damaged Goods
6. Love Is the Drug
7. Bike
8. Pumped It Up
9. The Lovecats
10. Queen Bitch
11. E.M.I.
12. Up the Junction
13. Mirror in the Bathroom, iTunes bonus track
14. West End Girls, iTunes bonus track

Keep up with The Hotrats at their homepage, MySpace, and Facebook.

Here are their videos for “I Can’t Stand It” and “Damaged Good” from their YouTube Channel: TheHotRats.

65daysofstatic: “We Were Exploding Anyway”

Okay, I admitted I am a huge fan of The Cure, so in 2008 I went to Madison Square Garden to see them play – I had never seen them live before. Amazing… simply amazing… three hour long concert, whirling through new and old music, singles and non-singles, pop ditties and epics… everything about the set, the lights and projections, were perfect. And so was the choice of opening band. This was the first time I had heard of 65daysofstatic. (To my friend who wondered why The Cure would pick 65days as an opening band … get over it.)

I am not usually a fan of instrumental bands, but there was something a tad different about this band. Like The Cure, their songs are able to carry two distinct emotions and cause two different reactions in a listener – sometimes at the same time! You feel an urge to do something, whether stand up and pace or run and shout, but at the same time, you feel calm, in a cathartic way.

Sometimes I find it hard to find an instrumental band that can move you in any which way it will want to take you, probably because, like so many people, I really personalize lyrics. (This is where fans of post-rock and real house music have an edge over other fans of modern music; they can appreciate music without lyrics on a visceral level.) But, after “discovering” 65daysofstatic, I am really starting to find myself getting attached to music, not just lyrics. “Dance Dance Dance” is one of those tracks that are really moving me. Within the first minute or so, you get this sort of classic, very simple vibe with some soft electronic tones thrown in, then all of a sudden you are hit with this wall of music, that is almost oppressive but makes you want to get up and, well, dance. And while this wall of music is hitting you, you have a keyboard playing softer and notable, which was a nice added bonus, which lead into a sort of orgasmic collaboration of everything that was played within the track. Simply put, phenomenal!

When I was listening to “Come to Me,” I was completely absorbed into the track; the multilayered music just enwraps you in a way you can’t resist. And then a voice, which surprised me for two reasons: first, there was a singer? Second, it was Robert Smith! Imagine, I was sitting there, having listened to almost half of the album already, and there were no voices in the previous songs; but that voice is unmistakable. It was indeed Robert Smith.

And when you can attract the likes of Robert Smith to come into a studio and perform in one of your original songs, then you must be producing something of quality. And that is exactly what “We Were Exploding Anyway” is – high quality, amazing arrangements, ingenious songwriting, and 65daysofstatic at their best.

Track Listing:
1. Mountainhead
2. Crash Tactics
3. Dance Dance Dance
4. Piano Fights
5. Weak4
6. Come to Me
7. Go Complex
8. Debutante

garner affleck kimmelThere was a fantastic promo for JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE during the Oscars last night. (The Oscars also had a Matt Damon/ Jennifer Garner/Ben Affleck “you’re so naive” joke about Garner going home with Damon. Which, I must add, Damon and his wife Luciana Bozán Barroso laughed at VERY graciously since I can only imagine how awkward that would be, even though it was funny.) In the promo, Ben Affleck and Jimmy Kimmel are sharing a bed with Affleck’s wife Jennifer Garner. And Garner ends the promo by clapping off the lights while the other two cuddle. PERFECTION ATTAINED.

Video after the jump!
