Statement of Maria Otero, Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs, U.S. Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues
Tibet.net[Friday, November 04, 2011 15:21]
Chairman Ros-Lehtinen, Ranking Member Berman, and esteemed members of the Committee, thank you for calling this hearing today on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China’s 2011 Annual Report.

I would like to congratulate Chairman Smith, Cochairman Brown and my fellow members of the Commission on an excellent report. I especially would like to recognize the Commission’s staff for their fine work, expertise and diligence. The work of the Commission, including its published reporting and its Political Prisoner
Database, is a tremendous resource, and I am honored to serve as a Commissioner. Political prisoners and human rights advocates cited in the 2011 annual report include rights defender Chen Guangcheng, lawyers Jiang Tianyong and Gao Zhisheng, Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo, journalist Memetjan Abdulla, bishop Su Zhimin, labor advocate Zhao Dongmin, Tibetan nomad Ronggyal Adrag, monk Choeying Khedrub, former monk Jigme Gyatso, and many others. Shining a light on human rights in China and particularly on conditions in Tibetan areas is always important, and certainly could not be more important than it is at the present time.

As U.S. Special Coordinator for Tibetan Issues, I would like to draw attention to a number of the Commission’s findings on Tibet.
Over the last year, Tibetans who peacefully expressed disagreement with government policy faced increased risk of punishment, as the Chinese government continued to criminalize such expression under the guise of “safeguarding social stability.” The Chinese government also substantially increased state infringement of
freedom of religion in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and nunneries. Government security and judicial officials detained and imprisoned Tibetan writers, artists, intellectuals, and cultural advocates who lamented or criticized government policies.

In July, when I participated on the Commission’s panel, “The Dalai Lama: What He Means for Tibetans Today,” I noted my deep concern with the deteriorating human rights situation in Tibetan areas of China, and specifically with the abuse and forcible removal of monks from Kirti Monastery and the heavy security presence there.
The recent self-immolations of young Tibetans, many of whom have been affiliated with Kirti Monastery, are desperate acts that reflect intense frustration with human rights conditions, including religious freedom, inside China. The Commission has thoroughly documented the policies that many believe have created escalating
tensions and a growing sense of isolation and despair among Tibetans. These policies include dramatically expanded government controls on religious life and practice, ongoing “patriotic education” campaigns within monasteries that require monks to denounce the Dalai Lama, increasingly intensive surveillance, arbitrary detentions and disappearances of hundreds of monks, and restrictions on and imprisonment of some families and friends of self-immolators.

The U.S. government repeatedly has urged the Chinese government to address its counterproductive policies in Tibetan areas that have created tensions and that threaten the unique religious, cultural and linguistic identity of the Tibetan people. Senior State Department officials have consistently and directly raised with the Chinese government the issue of Tibetan self-immolations. We have urged the Chinese government to allow access to Tibetan areas for journalists, diplomats and other observers. We also have asked the Chinese government to resume substantive dialogue with the Dalai Lama or his representatives. When President Obama met with the Dalai Lama at the White House in July, the President stressed that he encourages direct dialogue to resolve long-standing differences and that a dialogue that produces results would be positive for China and Tibetans.

I have had the honor of meeting several times with the Dalai Lama, and I also have had the opportunity to speak with Tibetans who live in China, and in India and Nepal. The U.S. government believes that the Dalai Lama can be a constructive partner for China in dealing with the challenge of resolving continuing tensions in Tibetan areas. The Obama Administration hopes that Chinese leaders will pursue substantive dialogue to resolve remaining differences and provide all Chinese citizens with peace, prosperity, and genuine stability.

July 20 - 26, 2014: Issue 172

 Port Jackson Pleasure Fleets No:11&12  Clubs, Flags and the Advantages of Sailing

 Port Jackson Pleasure Fleets No: 11 and 12

Clubs, Flags and the Advantages of Sailing

This is the final two articles written ‘By Lanyard’ – following this, in Issue 174, we will run an article on who this author is and their association with early sailing writing and literary circles in Australia.

After that we shall run pages on the boatbuilders mentioned throughout these articles and the boats themselves – not to the extent of The Bona – Classic Wooden Yacht – but somewhere near it in some cases, while others will be left for fuller pages in the future. Shortly after this we will begin our pages on the many Pittwater wooden yachts, yawls and the like, which are still sailing here - as so many of the vessels that have been mentioned throughout this series did.

'In Coron's Bay floats many a galley light, Through Coron's lattices the lamps are bright.'— Byron.

The club-house of the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron is a quaint old stone cottage near Kirribilli Point, North Sydney. It will require quite an effort to ring the bell, and then it will only sound after much wheezing and jangling of the wire. The chair you will sit down in is old and old-fashioned; the shelves on which the books and magazines are kept are rather of the kitchen dresser order; the fireplace is primitive, and, generally speaking, the house looks more like the house of a gentleman in straitened circumstances than a club. Yet the members love the old house, and keenly resent the remarks of new-comers, who suggest a more up-to-date habitation for the senior yachting club. If the house itself and furniture are not luxurious, everything is bright and tidy; the verandah is dazzingly white, and the brass cannons on the well-kept lawn shine with elbow grease. The situation is charming.  In summer the sea breeze makes it delightfully cool, and in winter it is sheltered, from the bleak westerlies and sou’westers.  The flower beds, if not extensive, are well planned and cared for, and the shrubs and indigenous trees make the grounds picturesque and restful. But the club's glory is the view, which takes in Fort Denison, Garden Island, Double Bay, Point Piper, Rose Bay, Athol Bight, and Cremorne Point. To the north is Neutral Bay, and on the north-west is Careening Cove, the favorite haven of many yachts. Down mid-channel steamers and sailers are frequently passing, from the stately liner to the rusty tramp, from the four-masted clipper to the crazy old coaster.

Band evening at the Royals is always a delightful function, and sometimes as many as 500 guests gather on the well-lighted upper lawn, or sit on the grassy slopes, in groups, watching the moonlight effects on the water, the many lights of the ferryboats gliding past, and listening to the band. Bare-headed women in evening dress, wander with their companions along the sheltered paths, lighted with Venetian lanterns or sit at small tables on tine lawn, taking modest refreshments. There is no extravagance, no ostentation, no vulgar display; everything is simple and in good taste. With its increasing roll of members, its living accommodation taxed to the upmost, and its prudent management, its financial position is assured; and there is no necessity for any effort on the part of its members to drink it, as the late Sir John Robertson said of the old Reform Club, out of state of insolvency. Should such a necessity arise, the members would rather shut the doors, for the Royals are true to their traditions, though at times they have suffered financially for their principles.

Nearly every second Saturday afternoon during the sailing season the club gives a pleasant outing on board the steamer it engages to follow the yacht races. A call is made at the club jetty; that call is generally a very long one, so long that the racing yachts are often out of sight before the steamer gets away. Nobody must be left behind; all sorts of polite inquiries are made as to whether this member or that member is on board, and, whether any member or guest of any member expects someone who has not yet arrived- When the steamer does get under way, someone is seen sauntering down the walk, the steamer is stopped, and the belated one is waited for and welcomed. You fancy you are off when another member makes his appearance; he is brought off in the waterman's skiff, and climbs leisurely over the steamer's side. Meanwhile, the reporters are fuming. The best part of the race, particularly when the yachts start together, has been missed. But the Royals are such good fellows that the reporters can't find it in their hearts to say anything unkind. As an old boating identity said, 'You can hardly accept a man's hospitality, and then kick his dog.' It is rather hard to say when the club was first brought into existence. By a process of succession and reconstruction, a club founded in the year 1836 is made out by some to be the club which now exists under the name of the R.S.Y.S. The Sydney Yacht Club was certainly going strong and well in the fifties, and the extravagance of a ball it gave in 1856 fairly paralysed society, and nearly paralysed the finances of the club. The old Prince of Wales' Theatre was fitted up for the occasion, and Vice Royalty 'kicked off' in the opening quadrille, and Sydney's beauty and her chivalry were gathered then; but it was not until the year 1863 that the squadron obtained permission to fly the blue ensign. Some of the pictures in the clubhouse are sufficiently interesting, even if they lack artistic merit, and with the collection of models in the hall enable one to trace some of the history of the squadron.

Tennis, billiards, and bridge are the shore games of the members. Bowls have been talked of, but if ever they come into vogue the steamer will be kept waiting at the wharf longer than at present. The members will have to finish their games a la Sir Francis Drake. The uniform of the squadron consists of a dark blue serge suit, with black buttons; the cloth yachting cap has a crown and anchor badge, which, however, is of plain and neat design. Even so simple a uniform is not much affected by the members. The dignityof the club is perfectly safe in the hands of its Commodore, Sir James Fairfax, whom the members honor, and love to honor.

The Prince Alfred Yacht Club, or the premier club, as some of its members are pleased to call it, flies its ensign from the Savings Bank Chambers, where it has rooms, and a fine balcony, sufficiently high above Moore-street to afford a view of North Head. It is a cool and pleasant place during the summer months; and the spacious, well-furnished rooms are comfortable in the extreme. - The P.A.Y.C. has been noted of late years for its lavish hospitality; the steamer outings it gives to its members and their friends every second week during the season are invariably well patronised. A good race to watch from a comfortable steamer, an attentive committee to look after the comforts of the guests, a ripping string-band, and many pretty girls, add to the charm of a down-harbor trip. When the steamer has to follow outside races, the band  is omitted, and there are fewer ladies onboard. Mr. Gar. Trouton, one of the members, generally has the looking-after of the guests, and you must not get in his way. 'I have to see that 400 persons get afternoon tea, so just keep the gangway clear,' and without any fuss he carries out his self-imposed task. The club steamer leaves punctually, and in many ways its management reflects credit on those concerned; but the Alfreds start their races in mid-channel, in the very thick of the outward-bound traffic, and there will be a serious accident and an inquest some day. The P.A.Y.C. dates back to 1867, and in 1869 it obtained the warrant to hoist the blue — ensign with the ducal coronet on the lower fly. The club has, at any rate of late years, been strong in the matter of uniform. There is something after all in uniform, as you will find out if ever you play kiss-in-the-ring when a fellow with brass buttons and cap badge is there. The present uniform of the Prince Alfred is very nearly that of a Naval Brigade officer. The P.A.Y.C. was really started to provide sport for a smaller class of boats than those of the Royal Sydney, which held very conservative ideas in those days; it has more than succeeded in its objects, and in yacht-racing it is now a useful rival to the senior club. Mr. Thomas Marshall, its present commodore, would like to see an amalgamation of the two clubs— he is a member of both — but there is room for 'both, and the Alfreds are required, if only to wake up the Royals occasionally. The commodore may not thank the writer for digging up his nickname of 'Old Shellback'; that was how he was known in the days when he sailed many a fine race in the Asteroid. Mr. Marshall is a disciplinarian, and when he takes the chair at a meeting of the members they have to keep to the point, which they have not always been accustomed to doing.

The Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron Club House.

The Sydney Amateur Sailing Club has no place to rest its head. In bygone days its home was at Fort Macquarie, but the Government wanted more wharfage accommodation, and the club had to go out with a very small amount for compensation. Still the club has continued since 1873, and at the present day there is no livelier sailing club in Port Jackson. Certainly its races now are mostly for cruisers— bruise- waters they have been called-but they suit busy professional men, and bring together a number of genuine sports, who will race for a flag with all the keenness they would for a cup. It is a treat to see Judge Fitshardinge rush the line in the Mia, and Mr. David Roxburgh take every ounce out of the Mischief. Mr. Doran, who has attained to far higher racing, loves to have a cut in at his old club. Steamer days, although less frequent in the amateurs than in tie senior clubs, lack nothing to make them thoroughly enjoyable.

The Johnstone's Bay Sailing Club is defunct, but the good work it did lives after it. It admitted professionals as well as amateurs to its ranks, and the excellent racing of the real Sydney type of centreboarders drew crowded steamers. The Flying Squadron and the Sydney Sailing Club now do the work of the first named club, and no sailing races seem to interest the general public so much as that of the open boats. The old Balmain Sailing Club, the North Sydney, the Neutral Bay, the Canoe, and many other clubs, were comparatively short-lived. The Sydney Sailing Dingey Club still lives, and flourishes sufficiently even to hold interstate races. The numerous sailing skiffs have been formed into a combination, which can boast bigger fields than any other club here, and its champion is a clergyman, the Rev. J. Cosh. The Motor-Boat Club is handicapped by its gorgeous uniform and its hideous flags, but has many members and many boats, and when it ripens a bit it will no doubt be a valuable institution.

There is an etiquette in flags, although some might not think so after a cruise on the harbor. How often do we see a badly-hoisted ensign, or a vessel carrying a flag she is not entitled to? The writer the other day saw a man-o' -war's steam pinnace chasing an oil launch, which, without warrant, was carrying a blue ensign. The Officer on board the pinnace confiscated the flag, to the surprise of those on board the motor-boat. A somewhat similar incident occurred in the Islands. A trader insisted on carrying an illegal flag, and having recently tarred his rigging, and hailed his colors to the mast, told the lieutenant to take down the offending — that was not the word used by the way — ensign himself. The officer was not to be thwarted so easily. He sent for a couple of axes, and the trader was glad enough to yield (to save his mast. Those who decorate their spars with wild flowers, and those who wear jockey caps, and grotesque uniforms, not only violate good taste, but show their ignorance of nautical affairs, and disfigure the port, of which they should be proud.

It is to be hoped that the clubs here will be able to effect some reforms in such matters; already they have prevented the opening of a coal mine at Bradley's Head, and now they are trying to save for the public some of the foreshores of the harbor. At the rate Sydney is progressing, it will only be a few years before the boating man will no longer have a place to land at, and the public will have no site from which to watch the races or the shipping, if some of the many beautiful spots are not reserved or resumed. The clubs should also endeavor to stop the advertising on water frontages. Nature has made Port Jackson lovely; man is fast making it hideous.

PORT JACKSON'S PLEASURE FLEETS. (1907, December 21).Evening News (Sydney, NSW : 1869 - 1931), p. 11. Retrieved from http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article113896614

'The security of the kingdom is increased by every' man being more or less a sailor.' Captain Marryat.

A couple of months ago it was looked upon as fairly certain that the Awanui, Mr. Alex. Saxton's beautiful 10-metre cruiser-racer, would do battle for this State in Port Phillip for the purpose of winning the Sayonara Cup. But owing to the Victorians having altered the conditions under which the cup was first won and subsequently competed for, the challenge has been withdrawn, and it is now definitely decided that, for this season at any rate, no attempt shall be made to recover our lost supremacy in interstate yacht racing.

Let us turn to the history of the cup. It will be remembered that the Sayonara, a fine, wholesome stamp of a Fife cruiser, built in Adelaide, but subsequently bought by Mr. A. Gollin, of Melbourne, sailed to these waters in the beginning of 1905 to race for a cup presented by the Royal Victorian Yacht Club and our own senior clubs. No expense had been spared in making the visitor a fit representative of her State, and, with hollow spars, new sails, and a picked and unanimous crew under one of the best, if not the best, skipper in Port Phillip, she thoroughly deserved the confidence placed in her by her partisans.

Mr. A. Saxton's Awanui.

The Bona, under the P.A.Y.C. flag, was chosen to uphold the credit of the home State, but after she had been in preparation for sometime there was a change of ownership, a member of the R.S.Y.S. having purchased her. The Bona has always been better at inside than at outside work, especially when the conditions are at all heavy, yet instead of asking for at least one race over an inside course, we seem to have begun by giving way to the Victorians on all points in the negotiations before the start of the race, and have ended by having to give way to them on the course proper; but in the second of the first series of races- it must not be forgotten that the Bona led her big rival from start to finish. At any rate, whatever were the causes, the result was that we were beaten in straight-out sailing on our own waters in two of three races; and the next thing to do was to consider the best means of bringing, the cup to Port Jackson.

This was undertaken by Mr. C. T. Brockhoff, who promptly challenged the Victorians with the Logan designed and built Rawhiti, which had already sailed across the Tasman Sea, and had demonstrated that she was a truly seaworthy craft. Her failure to bring the trophy back with her was keenly felt by the yachtsmen, of this State, for though she handsomely won the La Carabine Cup in a series of three races against all comers, including the Sayonara, the- latter won the match races. Many were looking forward with relish to the meeting between the Awanui and the Sayonara, and it was felt that at last the hour was approaching when our southern rivals would be forced to haul down their flag, and either, have to come back to Port Jackson to try conclusion's or sit down under their defeat. But it was not to be, and when the announcement was made that the new rule would-be rigidly adhered to, no one was more disappointed than Awanui's owner. 'Part L of section .5 of the new international rule; which the Victorians rely on, reads as follows: — 'There shall be no time allowance In races under Y.R.A. rating, except as 'provided in the international rule.'

The exceptions referred to only apply to old boats. Under such a rule the Sayonara's size would give her a tremendous advantage, although many aver that the Sydney boat could beat her off the mark. That may be so, but it is quite time that we refused to knuckle down altogether to the southern yachtsmen in the selection of rules to govern the  contests and the withdrawal of  the challenge is gratifying if  on that ground alone.

Mr. Saxton's contention is that having challenged with a 10-metre yacht, the reply should have been a vessel of the same size or that time should be allowed if they wanted to compete with the Sayonara. - Many, however, think that the Victorians are technically within their rights, but that they appear to study the retaining of the cup rather than the welfare of the sport, and the attempts of our men to meet them half-way or even to go considerably beyond have been unsuccessful. The shutting out of our boats from the Northcote Cup is a sample of the treatment we submit to from the Victorians. So much for the past. But now let us turn to the question of how to proceed in the future. First of all the writer would suggest that before a boat is built for the purpose of challenging, a distinct understanding should be arrived at as to what conditions are to govern the particular contest. When a boat that has reasonable hope of success has been built, let us pick our very best skipper, and let him alone choose his crew.

When the cup is brought up here — as it is to be hoped some day it will be — we should have definite rules laid down to govern these contests — not hard and fast rules that might become obsolete in a very few years, but still conditions that would prevent an enthusiastic sportsman who builds a boat for the purpose of interstate racing, and, under existing conditions, from discovering shortly before the race that he would, have to compete under terms which were expost facto.

At the present time we find ourselves in the same comparatively unsatisfactory state of mixed yacht racing that we emerged from with the advent of the 30-footer class. The Awanui has already won five races this season; neither the Rawhiti nor White Wings having proved class enough for her even in the handicap events. The remnants of the 30-footers still enter and have a go at each other, with the possibility of their leader getting into a place, and while the club steamer is often miles ahead with the big boats, the little ones sometimes put in some clever and exciting sailing that takes one back to the days when a fleet of these graceful little ships used to provide the spectators and their crews with all the keen competition of class racing. No one doubts for a moment that class racing should be re-introduced, and efforts have been made in certain quarters to reinstate it here on a firm basis; but so far nothing substantial has materialised.

On account, to a certain extent of the condition into which our racing has deteriorated several erstwhile prominent skippers have sought solace in the cosy little coach houseboat that lately we have become so familiar with, or else have joined the ranks of the benzine beneficiaries. It is not to our credit when we come to consider the number of yachts in Port Jackson at the present time, that we have to admit that, outside of the open boats, we have practically no craft which could be formed into a distinct class in sufficient numbers to be successfully raced as such. Surely these matters, if looked into seriously, could be rectified, and the writer would suggest that there is ample scope for three classes. The present day ten metre yachts, of which we only have the one as yet, would admirably suit those who can afford a fairly large type; and the 30-footers, excluding the extreme racing type, have proved themselves very 'well-adapted for both cruising and racing, and would make a suitable second-class, whilst a 24 or 25-foot class might be found to fill the requirements of those who prefer something smaller.

Since the above was written, a move in the right direction has been made by dividing the yachts at present tracing into two classes of ten metres and eight metres respectively, the former division to include those boats exceeding the measurement's which are already on the club register.

This at present can only be a compromise, so different are the boats, but it will probably be the means of introducing new ones, now that would-be builders have something definite to work on. A third class, could very well be formed of the coach-house' boats, than which no other small type is better suited to local conditions.

The Senga is a fine example, and no boat of 25 feet could be safer, more Seaworthy, or more comfortable than this trim little vessel. She combines with most of her kind, all the stability of the old deep keeler, with the handiness and general utility of the fishing boat. The coach-house boats have considerably more camping accommodating and storage space than most other boats half as big again, and when they are at sea their buoyancy and consequent dryness render battening down unnecessary, even in dirty weather, so that their cabins do not greet the visitor with those unsavoury smells which are by no means infrequent in boats that cannot have the same amount of ventilation.

Mr. H. H. Massie's Senga.

Many a little corner along the coast, whose shelter or exploration is out of the question in a deep keeler, is open to these boats, whose draught, of course at the expense of a little head room, is often well under 2 feet with the centreboard up, and in some cases they could be put on the beach like a dingey. Finally, it will be found that these boats, under favorable weather conditions, manage to do fairly lengthy trips without taking the proverbial long time over them; in fact, there are very few, if any, of the present day yachts in Port Jackson, excluding those that have been built for racing, that don't want to have a look at something on the other side of the harbor when the coach-house boat comes along.

Much has been said and much has been written against the love of sport that exists in our community. There is, perhaps, some force in such criticism so far as it relates to the vast majority who are merely onlookers, or 'barrackers,' but it can have no application to those who actually engage in manly sports. If the reader will look in at Quarantine some Sunday during the sailing season, he will be struck by the remarkably fine physique of the young fellows, who, after their sail down the harbor, are swimming in the clear water, playing cricket, or wrestling on the white sands. With proper training these young men would make good defenders of their country, whether as sailors or soldiers. The fatigues they have undergone, the dangers they have had to overcome, the strategy they have had to employ in their races, and the exercise they have taken, will help to qualify them when their services are needed. Sailing is not all lolling about, and the man who says it is shows his ignorance of the sport. Besides it is a clean sport, even in these degenerate days.

In taking leave of his readers, the writer may be pardoned for expressing a hope that sailing may flourish, and that the white wings of the pleasure fleets of Port Jackson will be more numerous than ever. (Concluded.)

Charting the Voyages and Name Changes of Classic Wooden Yachts can take some perseverance for the below reasons:

Awanui-A New Yacht.

Mr. A. C. Saxton the vice-commodore of the Prince Alfred Yacht Club, has in Awanui one of the most graceful boats on 'Sydney Harbor. She is the pioneer of the new 10-metre class, and' is quite up to the reputation -of the celebrated designer, Fife. She was built at W. M. Ford's yard at Berry's Bay, a fact of which Mr.  Saxton is proud. He says it shows we had as good material and workmanship here as in any yacht building centre. The dimensions of the new yacht are:- Length over all, 50ft 10in; water line, 33ft 71n; depth, 6ft 8in; beam, 7 ft 4in. The Awanui was constructed on the grown frame principle, with Intermediate steam-bent timbers. The planking is of cedar, with Huon pine garboards. Steel floors and straps are used to tie the heels of the frame together. The deck is of very narrow kauri planking. She is painted black above and green below the water. The supervising architect was Mr. E. W.  Heywood.

Awanui has only been afloat three weeks. Still she has succeeded in finishing secondiIn her first race and first in her second. Rather a good beginning. Shortly she will meet Rawhiti in three test races, and it is said the results will have a bearing on the next challenge for the Sayonara Cup. Awanui—A New Yacht.

Name change:

The Sydney yacht Culwulla II. (late Awanui) left Rasmusssen's shed, Rushcutter's Bay, this afternoon, for Hobart and Melbourne; to represent New South Wales in Tasmania, and Melbourne. She is the challenger for the Sayonara Cup. Mr. Walter Marks, owner of the yacht, is in command, and with him are Messrs. W. Moore, W. Adams, Neilson, and another.AWANUI STARTS ON LONG VOYAGE. (1910, February 3).Evening News (Sydney, NSW : 1869 - 1931), p. 5. Retrieved from http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article116052104

In 1910 Mr W Marks of RSYS issued a challenge with his yacht Awanui and then renamed Cullwalla III (should be II) (Now named Eun-na-mara)

the kindness of strangers couldn't help him on this one. you guys...

i am lazy

Mike has so graciously offered us another survey to steal. Cool.

  1. Would you take the fall for a crime committed by a sibling or parent?
  2. Well, the worst crime my mom would ever conceivably commit would be speeding, but only if she was rushing home to watch a Masterpiece Theatre marathon. So, no. In that case she’d have to lie in her own Anglophilic bed.

  3. What's your favorite picnic food?
  4. Beer.

  5. What television show did you like that got canceled way too soon?
  6. Three-way tie: Manimal / Zoom / Booker (Richard Grieco is foxy.)

  7. Ever get caught picking your nose?
  8. It wasn’t a pick! It was a scratch!

  9. By which school picture are you most embarrassed?
  10. My girlfriend’s 7th grade photo. The midwestern hair. Holy cow.

  11. What was your first computer?
  12. Speak and Spell. Actually a TSR80 followed by a Mac Classic (which I shamefully used until early this year).

  13. What are you completely and irrationally stubborn about?
  14. With said girlfriend: nothing. I’m a push-over. I then just take it out on the rest of the world.

  15. You're offered the political appointment of your choosing. What job do you take?
  16. Drug Czar!!! How cool would that be.

  17. How would you like to die?
  18. 85 years old, lucid, and smiling.

  19. You get to plan your own funeral. Who speaks? Who sings? How do you get sent off?
  20. I can’t really conceive of my own funeral. I just know I’d like there to be a lot of sexy weeping women there. In black. That would be cool. Ooh, and I’d like Pearl Jam to play. Eddie Vedder kicks ass. They could play "Alive". Get it?! And then a good send off… ooh, you could cremate me, and then lay out a few lines of me in front of Andy Dick some night at SkyBar, and tell him it’s "really good shit".

  21. You and a date finish an expensive dinner at a fancy restaurant and discover the waiter has charged you for only one lobster. Do you a) point out the mistake. b) keep quiet and leave a huge tip. c) quickly pay the tab and leave.
  22. d) Tell my date that mine was the free lobster, and make her pay the bill.

  23. To whom are you most likely to lend money? a relative, a friend, a business partner, or the author of this survey.
  24. You Mike. But it would be like a $3.00 loan at 10,000,000,000,000% APR.

  25. Ever changed your website just so you could join a ring?
  26. Naw. Smart & Lazy and I Love Masturbation actually sought me out. (Oh man, I am KILLING!)

  27. Ever written on a special topic, just so you could qualify for a web award?
  28. Not unless they hand out awards for "most bitter, complaining, and hypocritically obsessed with the self-same culture he’s constantly bitter and complaining about."

  29. Ever submitted your own site for a web award?
  30. I wouldn’t know where to go. Seriously. I am dumb.

  31. Ever offered a web award of your own conception?
  32. Not until now. I am hereby pleased to announce the founding of the Annual "Best Entry Solely Devoted to Praising Stee’s Plaintive Wail" Award. C’mon, kids. Submissions welcome.

  33. What's your favorite flavor of toaster pastry?
  34. Despite a huge sweet tooth, sugar cereals and Pop Tarts were never my thing. I think it’s like my craving for alcohol, it doesn’t really wake up until around 12:30pm.

  35. Ever paid one credit card with another one?
  36. No. But my girlfriend, when she finds herself in a spending frenzy, puts her credit card in a container of water and sticks it in the freezer. I’m not kidding.

  37. Ever been hoopsnaked by a home equity loan ad?
  38. No, but I was once squarefrogged by the Sears Catalog. (Alright, I’ll shut up…)

  39. To what magazines do you currently subscribe?
  40. The quickly-turning-to-crap Premiere and the New Yorker. I just wish the New Yorker would stop for a couple months. Just all drive off to the Hamptons for a while and let me catch up. I’m like 4 issues behind. Every day it seems I go out to the mailbox and there’s another. Weeklies, man. Stay away from those things.

  41. What's your guilty pleasure?
  42. Probably having a web journal. Seriously. No one in my life knows about it. Deception rules!

  43. What do you do that you do not enjoy simply for appearance sake?
  44. Occasionally I dress nicely. I would rather come to work in ripped jeans and a dirty flannel. Or these doctor scrubs I have. Comfy and I look like Clooney in ‘em. Well, not exactly. Shaving. I hate shaving. And wearing the false ear. I’d rather just go one-eared like God intended. I actually do have a friend with a fake pinky. She lost it at college falling off her bunk-bed. I’m not kidding. She’s awaiting a huge settlement. You know, I should really call her…

  45. Have you ever taken out a singles ad?
  46. No. My sister took out a joke one in the Madison paper and won a vibrator. Kind of a sad gift, don’t you think?

  47. Have you ever lied in a singles ad?

No. But my sister did. It was all made up. And then she said, "…and you must have a puppy". And all these guys called up, claiming they’d run out and gotten puppies just to meet this fabulous chick in the ad.

25. When was the last time you bounced a check?

26. Have you ever camped out for concert tickets? If so, for which concert?

Never. But I did come early to see Air Supply in a free concert at the local race track. And they were filling in for Hall & Oates. Of course we were drunk and made fun of Graham the whole time. He signed my shirt though, so it was all worth it.

27. What's the most embarrassing name ever given to you by a significant other?

28. Ever played truth or dare in an effort to get into someone's pants?

Wait, is there another reason to play?

29. Did you have sex in high school?

Naw, we tried but the building was always locked. (Yes.)

30. What's your favorite drinking game?

Goddamn I Hate My Job I’m So Glad I’m Home I Wonder If Donny & Marie Is Still On! Y’all should try it, it’s a hoot.

Alright. My margins are fucked and I'm babysitting my girlfriend's cat and she's running around going nuts and I'm tired. I might finish tomorrow. Love to you all, and thanks Mike.

By the way, I don't think I've yet mentioned how much I love my 12th Night cast. They've been working together for over 6 years and are so open and supportive and welcoming. And, my god, talented. I'm a happy actor right now.

Comment this "Nude Party" picture:
Every time I look at this picture I laugh. I looks like she's competing in a pageant for Miss Nude Party or something. I love how her hand is on her hip model style and she's doing the little cheerleader wave and she's doing all this while totally naked and being hosed down with water.

Dazzle it up with a sexy pair of sequin leggings

Moving with the current fashion fiesta of leggings, it surely makes bold and dramatic statement for anyone who adorns them. Leggings in all kinds of colors and patterns have hit the fashion markets for good, and bringing about a drastic change.

Sequin leggings are by far the most dramatic and bold style that have come in leggings. For all those dazzled and bright girls, sequin leggings form the most eternal bond to sport. They can surely make heads turn with a sexy pair of great fitted sequin leggings.

However, not everyone can carry off this trend well. Sequin leggings practically don’t look good on everyone.

Choosing the right kind of sequin leggings.

If you have long legs, then probably any kind of legging will look good on you, more so sequin leggings. You can practically opt for any color and material. Choose darker hues if you plan a night party, and you can choose subtler hues otherwise.

For girls who don’t have those perfect legs, you can opt for leggings with a fitting which suits your legs. You can even opt for different materials like cotton and silk. Think of wearing black to make your legs look thinner and eventually have a thinner frame.

Where to find?

To find the perfect pair of sequin leggings, you can browse the Internet. It is filled with many options and all of them come at great prices and discounts. You generally won’t get to see this amount of variety at local stores because they cannot stock such an unconventional item.

Knit in a new life with informal wedding dresses

Weddings are the occasion filled with happiness and joy.  Weddings bring delight, drama, colors, and hustle bustle with them. For the whole family it is the event of pleasure and bliss but for bride and groom, it is the day of happiness filled with nervousness.

The most difficult decision, after the choosing Mr. Right, is to select the bridal dress. If you are not among one those brides who doesn’t like everything to be lavish and completely traditional, then informal wedding dresses should be your choice.

Let’s be the trendsetter:

Not all brides are same. Everyone wants to look different on their big day. If you are not a traditional bride and love to break rules, then don’t worry an informal wedding dress would be perfect for you. Some brides don’t like to wear white, and some like to wear a full-length gown. You can always pick a short and stylish dress of whichever color and style you want. And you would look drop dead gorgeous.

What to match with it?

Accessories make your look even more appealing. So, if you are planning to wear an informal wedding dress then, choose some simple and elegant accessories to match with your dress. For example, if you are wearing a decent short white dress then wear delicate coronet crown with it.  A simple pendant set would work with your overall look.

So now you can prepare for your wedding without losing your style.

For a long-time I held on.

I held onto stories that I was telling myself for years – stories that I created for myself – based on what I was told my life should be like by other people, or beliefs that I had absorbed by watching and learning from others struggles.

There came a time where I had to release those stories, mainly because they did not fit into the life I was building for myself – a life that has been made by expanding my view and not constricting it to be in alignment with other people’s opinions.

One of the stories that I told myself was that I was better off being independent and single after going through a challenging marriage and eventual divorce. The aftermath of that relationship led to me on a journey to figure myself out, since I really was not sure who I was anymore.

One thing I could not deny was my deep longing to have someone that I could share my life with, even though, having had that before, was something that had not been fulfilling to me in any way.

It was a conundrum for sure.

I was consciously telling myself that I did not need anyone in my life. I spent a great deal of time and effort proving that to myself with buying/selling my own homes, getting a better job to support myself, becoming financially independent, figuring out things I liked to do and things that I definitely did not like and so on. I dabbled with some online dating for a while, but that really did nothing more than prove to me that I was better off by myself, because, well – online dating has some “interesting” men that really did not do much to change my opinion of what a nourishing relationship could be at all.

Unfortunately, nothing I was doing was really helping me change my mind about living my life as an independent and single gal, because all roads pointed to that being a better life for me in the long run. I had friends who supported the notion that being alone was a safer choice for me, and for them, and my brain was convinced of that as well.

But my heart and soul had other ideas for me, because, as I said, deep down inside, I wanted to share my life with someone who “got me” and I had to come to terms with that. It was time for some deep introspection!

Did being in a relationship with someone who “got me” mean that I could not live my life as I wanted to? Did that fella really exist? My marriage had showed me that it was not possible, so why was I so sure that I could have it now?

I had to change the perception that I had on my life, as I knew it, big time.

I had to release the story of it being safer for me to be an independent and single gal to make room for the nurturing relationship that I really wanted.

I let go of that story and opened myself up to receiving what I wanted in my life – to be in a fabulous relationship with an amazing guy, who got me, and at the same time being an independent woman in the areas that mattered to me most. I had to release the old story to make room for the new one.

And guess what happened?

I found him and I got exactly what my heart and soul wanted. I am in a loving and nurturing relationship with my best friend and following my dreams and being true to myself all at the same time.

Why am I telling you this?

Because we all tell ourselves stories and there is a pretty good chance that the story you may be telling yourself just doesn’t work for you anymore, but it might be a hard one to let go of because it is familiar and comfortable for you. Change is hard and discarding an old story for a new one means that we need to dig in a little deeper to see what it is that we want Now, as opposed to what we thought we wanted Then. And, you have to want to re-write your story.

Stories You Are Telling Yourself

Our lives are not meant to be planned out to the n’th degree. Life ebbs and flows and we have to figure out the ways to help us move with whatever comes into our lives. If I had stuck to the belief that my life would be better if I was alone, I likely would still be that way. It was empowering to work through the story and sort out what was behind it (people’s opinions/beliefs, my own past history and challenges, etc.) and figure out a way to reframe it into something that took into account what I wanted for my future and what I did not.

It meant seeing the forest for the trees and taking what I liked and throwing away what I did not and forging a new path forward for myself.

Try this on for size yourself and answer the following questions and see what comes up for you:

  • What stories do you tell yourself?
  • What stories are you fed-up hearing yourself tell that just don’t make sense for you anymore?
  • How do you know when it is time to throw away a story that just doesn’t work for you? How do those stories make you feel? Safe and empowered, or unsafe and miserable – wanting more for your life?
  • Can you let go of the story that does not define you now?
  • What changes can you make in your life that can enable you to take a new path that feels truer to who you are now?

Once you see a story for what it is, you can’t un-see it.

When you call yourself on your own sh*t, (aka, the stories that are holding you back), that is when life-changing magic can happen for you. @sarahfinney (Click to Tweet!)

So, Instagram, an app that allows you to, as their website says, “share your life with friends through a series(…)

Jazz Up Your Morning Coffee With these Tips

Of the daily meals, breakfast is the most important and most people like to include a cup of coffee in this meal. However much you like your cup of coffee, it gets to some point when you feel like it has become habitual and boring. Read on to get some fun ways to add extra flavor to your morning coffee and add excitement to your mornings.

Add some Flavored Syrup
If you are an ardent coffee drinker, a taste of freshly brewed coffee is enough to give your tongue the heavenly sensation. But if you want to include some extra flavor to your coffee, why not consider adding some flavored syrup? All the major coffee shops have syrup that you can add to your drink, and you can also buy them to use at home. The sugar is availed in many flavors including pumpkin spice, which is great during fall, along with a more Christmassy gingerbread. A a teaspoon of the syrup is all you need to get the extra flavor every morning.

Get a Different Roast
There are many different roasts of coffee using different coffee beans. Too often, people find a roast that they like and stick with it. Conventional breakfast coffee tends to be of medium roast, so if you have been drinking this all your life, take a switch. You can switch to a lighter roast or a darker one. Give a try to the dark roast as some of the best dark roast coffee is made by Italian companies, and their coffee is superb.

Add some Fancy
In most case, you might find out that when you make yourself coffee it is something that is boring. Add the extra spice to your morning by making a fancy little flat white, cappuccino or latte. You will only need something to froth up and heat milk, and you are good to go. The internet provides loads of tutorials that can assist you to make any of these drinks and have some extra fun in the mornings.

Have it Ice Cold
Try this; make your normal morning coffee, then you put it in a blender with loads of ice cubes. By simply doing that you get yourself an iced coffee. Add some extra milk or cream to the mix and turn it into a milkshake of sorts. It’s a fun little idea that can help you wake up even more with a jolt of coldness. It provides with a perfect drink for the morning in the hot months of the year.

You can have four alternatives to your usual morning coffee by trying each of these ideas during the week. Break the norm and have some fun first thing in the morning by having some fun brewed coffee.

Twisted Course of Destiny

K. V. Dominic

Rajiv is a youth in the early thirties. Hasn’t got any permanent employment. MSc in Mathematics. Passed NET also. Still taking classes in an entrance coaching centre for Rs. 10,000 per month. His mother who brought him up and his younger sister had been working as a daily labourer at building construction sites. She is 63 and arthritic. His father died in a bike accident when Rajiv was only ten. He was a barman who never drank. Rajiv’s sister, Rema is only two years junior to him and is still unmarried. She wasn’t studious like Rajiv and had to end her education after Pre Degree course. Born of poor dark parents both Rajiv and Rema are not fair in complexion or attractive. Who will marry a lady who is neither fair nor wealthy enough to give any dowry? Dowry has become such national curse that thousands of ladies are destined to remain spinsters despised by kith and kin and the society as such. It’s Rajiv’s meager salary which meets the household expenditure as well as the medicine for his ailing mother. The family live in a hut built by his father in a three cent plot which he had bought with the money he earned from the bar.

Rajiv passed his tenth class with 90% of marks at the age of sixteen and his mother sent him to a college in the town for Pre Degree course, taking Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics as the optional subjects. Though it was an additional financial burden to her, the mother dreamt of a bright future when her son would get a government employment after education and thus save the family from the abyss of poverty and distress. Rajiv was the most brilliant student in the class and smart in all activities—speech, music, sports and games etc. Naturally he was chosen the leader of the class. He was the favourite of the teachers as well as students. When his classmates of average intelligence attended coaching classes for the entrance examination to Engineering Degree on Saturdays and Sundays, Rajiv had to envy them since he couldn’t afford to pay fees for such classes. What use, even if he gets good rank in the entrance exams? His mother won’t be able to send him to an engineering college in the city.

Rajiv passed his Pre Degree Examinations with 88% marks. He wanted to go for B.Sc. but his mother couldn’t send him as she struggled really hard to sustain the family. As she got a wage of only Rs. 150, there was nothing left for his higher education. Rajiv’s thirst for a degree found a means for its accomplishment. There was a tuition centre in the town providing tuition classes for high school pupils. Rajiv sought for an employment there and since he was brilliant in mathematics he was appointed. He was offered a monthly salary of Rs. 2,500. With the money he earned thus he registered as a private candidate for B. Sc. Mathematics course. Teaching and study went simultaneously without any obstacles. Since he was bright enough he could learn the subjects without the help of any teacher. Years passed very smoothly and he passed B.Sc. examinations with 80% of marks.

What next? The big question mark appeared before Rajiv. In a State like his own (Kerala), mere graduation will not give one any government employment. There was no other option for Rajiv than going for M.Sc. course. Still continuing as a tuition master he registered for M.Sc. Mathematics as a private candidate. Another two years passed and Rajiv became a post graduate with 75% of marks. His post graduation enabled him to get an appointment in a private coaching centre for medical/engineering entrance test. He was offered a salary of Rs. 5000 per month.

In the coaching centre, physics subject was handled by Ms. Sangeeta Gopal. She was fair looking and very gentle in her words and actions. Besides Rajiv and Sangeeta there was a Chemistry teacher Ms. Rohini, Biology teacher Mr. Madhu and the Principal Mr. Murali in the institution. Sangeeta had a special liking for Rajiv. She liked to be with him and talked to him whenever they were free. Which man’s heart can be insensitive to the sweet loving looks and expressions? Rajiv for the first time experienced heart throbs of love and their love grew fast and started to bloom. One day when they were alone in the staff room.  Rajiv told Sangeeta, “Sangeeta, do you love me genuinely? I may not be able to marry you unless I get a permanent job. When it is, I can’t say.”

“Rajiv, I will wait for you till you get a permanent employment. If at all I marry, it will be you and none else. I have already enthroned you as my husband in my heart and I can’t think of anyone else in my life.”

“Sangeeta, you are now 23 and your parents will start thinking of your marriage. You are very beautiful and your parents have sufficient wealth to meet the demands of a suitable bridegroom.”

“I will tell my parents that I don’t want any marriage now. Let me get a government employment first. Thus I can drop their proposals. I don’t think they will act against my wish.”

“My mind says Sangeeta, that you will get a permanent job before I get one. Then how will you resist your parents’ proposals?”

“I will tell them then that I am in love with you and I would only marry you. Rajiv, this is my promise. Kindly stretch your palm.” He stretched his right palm and she pressed hers on it.

“Sangeeta, I will wait for you and we will live together forever.”

Their golden moments ended when the bell was rung and the other colleagues entered into the staff room.

Rajiv started to dream of a happy married life with Sangeeta. What is required for its fulfilment is a permanent job. His ambition is to become a college lecturer. He knows very well that it is a herculean task to get such an appointment. He can’t expect it in government aided private colleges as they demand high donation. He can try for it only in government colleges which are very few in number. He decided to appear for the UGC NET examination which is the eligibility for applying for the post. He cleared the NET exams in the first chance itself. As the State was going through great financial crisis, the government banned all appointments and the Public Service Commission stopped notifications.

Life never goes through easy, smooth, straight roads always. It has to climb hilly roads full of sharp curves before coming down again to plain straight roads. Rajiv’s life has been passing through the easy straight roads and the time has come for him to climb the hill before him. His mother, who has been the main bread earner of the family started to show the symptom of arthritis. The severe pain on her joints prevented her from heavy work and she was compelled to stop her sustaining job of a daily labourer. Rajiv’s sister, Rema somehow passed her Pre Degree course in the third chance. She couldn’t be sent for higher education and hence remained in the house helping the sick mother in the domestic activities. The sole responsibility and burden of maintaining the family rested on Rajiv. With the monthly salary of Rs. 6000 he got he had to meet the domestic expenses and mother’s treatment charges.

Years passed one after another. The new government which came into power after the general elections lifted the ban on government employment and Rajiv applied for every post which he was eligible for—from last grade to that of college lecturer. Public Service Commission’s test, interview and appointment go at a snail’s pace taking several years. Domestic worries, agonies and tensions of Rajiv were subdued and relieved by the caressing touch of Sangeeta’s love in the coaching centre. She too applied for government jobs through PSC. Both appeared for several tests and waited for the results.

One day when Rajiv and Sangeeta were sharing their domestic news, the postman appeared there with a letter for Sangeeta. It was an advice memo from PSC asking her to join the Education Department as a Lower Division Clerk. Sangeeta was highly elated. Rajiv also appeared for the same examination but luck was against him. Sangeeta belongs to Other Backward Community which has reservations in government employment. Though Rajiv is financially poor he belongs to the forward community which denies him any special privilege.

“Sangeeta, my hearty congrats! We should celebrate it,” Rajiv said.

“Thanks dear Rajiv. It’s surprising why you are not selected. How brighter you are! May be you will be called later from the list.”

“God knows. Let Him guide me as He wills. Which is the joining date?”

“Before 20th of this month. Only fifteen days more.”

“It is better to join at the earliest. I mean tomorrow itself.”

“My only pain is to leave you, Rajiv. The District Education Office where I have to join is far away too. Anyway we will be in touch over phone.”

“Don’t worry Sangeeta. We will be in touch. My only request is that you should not forget me when you enter into a new world and new acquaintances.”

“Don’t speak such trash dear Rajiv. How can I forget you? You will always be in my mind.”

“Your parents will insist for your marriage as you are already 26 now. How will you resist it?”

“Didn’t I promise you Rajiv that I will not marry anyone else other than you? I will tell my parents about our love and request them to wait for your permanent employment.”

“But how long can they wait? How unfortunate I am!”

“Don’t be pessimistic dear Rajiv. We shall pray to God to unite us at the earliest.”

“Ok dear. You may join tomorrow itself. Let’s stop. Others are coming.”

They ended their conversation. Sangeeta disclosed the news of her selection to the other colleagues and the principal arranged a farewell meeting. The love between Sangeeta and Rajiv was unknown to others. Both could smartly control in the presence of others. But when Rajiv spoke in the meeting his voice choked. He struggled hard to avoid bursting out of his emotions. The lovers’ parting at 4 pm after the classes was really in tears. They waited for the others to leave the campus.

“Sangeeta, we never thought that we would have to part so soon. We have been here so close together for three years. In fact you have been the polestar who guided me when I have been swaying in the tempest of grief.  What will I do when you are gone?”

“Rajiv, the polestar is always there and nothing can hide it from you. I will be in regular touch with you and we can meet at the park on Sundays.  I plan to come every weekend.”

“You can’t measure my love to you, Sangeeta. Who can measure the quantity of water in the ocean? Or its depth? My mind can’t go on thinking without you even for an hour. Then how can I remain without you for a week?”

“Rajiv, don’t drown me in that ocean of passion. Do you think my love to you is not that deep as yours? Do you think I will happy without you?” Tears started flowing over her rosy cheeks.

“Oh, don’t cry, my darling. I know how much you love me.” He wiped away her tears with his hand and gave a kiss on her forehead. “We should not be sentimental like teenagers. We have to be practical. Cheer up now.”

“Papa will be accompanying me tomorrow. I will seek boarding in the working women’s hostel.  I will call you next evening. ”

“Ok dear. You may go now. Best wishes!”

“Thanks dear Rajiv. Best wishes to you! I will always pray for your employment and our life together.” Thus they departed.

Needless to say, Rajiv was most upset, drowned in grief as his polestar left him. Sangeeta called him the next evening and detailed her new world. She was no doubt content with her new atmosphere. Both of them phoned almost every evening. As promised, Sangeeta met him at the park next Sunday. She was full of hot air on her colleagues, hostel mates, office work etc.

Rajiv got an alarming phone call from her on Monday evening. Her parents have found a suitable match for her. The boy is her father’s friend’s son, who is a teacher in a higher secondary school. She expressed her dissent and had to tell her parents of her love to Rajiv. The parents became very furious and said that they would never allow her to marry him, who has no permanent employment. Sangeeta was really upset and told him that she is willing to elope with him and get registered marriage if he can save her. A heavy lightening shot through Rajiv’s heart. Fortunately his sense conquered the emotions and could think very practically. It is cruelest of her to disobey her parents and push them to the abyss of sorrow and dejection. Rajiv advised her not to displease her parents, and agree for the marriage. She couldn’t agree to his advice first but he convinced her that there was no other option before them. He told her not to call him any more so that they could forget each other, which was what the situation demanded. Even though he was invited for the wedding he didn’t attend it because he couldn’t bear the sight of another person making her the life partner.

Rajiv continued his teaching in the coaching centre. He wanted to escape from the morose atmosphere there. He tried to forget Sangeeta by involving more in reading. He was writing exams after exams of PSC, Banking Service Recruitment Board etc. But luck was against him and the appointment eluded him. He has now completed four years of service in the coaching centre and was getting Rs. 10,000 per month whereas a last grade employee of a government office drew a starting salary of Rs. 13,000.

Finally, Rajiv’s prayers were granted and he got appointment as a peon in the District Collector’s Office. A postgraduate has to work as a peon! Something is better than nothing, he consoled himself. He joined the office which was sixty kilometers away from his house. Majority of his superior officers in the office—clerks, superintendents, accounts officer were all inferior to him in education—passed only tenth class, pre degree or degree. They were sympathetic to him but superiors are always superiors and he had to obey their commands, fetching files and serving them from section to section. His thirst for higher education and a better employment prompted him to do PhD as a part time scholar. Fortunately his college classmate Dr. Joseph was a research guide in an aided college in the town. Rajiv stayed in a lodge near his office and went home every weekend. The monotony and humiliation of his peon work was compensated by the research activities. He availed the earned leaves and visited the research centre, completed the required attendances and submitted the thesis after three years. Only three months were needed for the evaluation and he was awarded PhD at the age of 34.

One day as part of his routine duty Rajiv was asked by the senior superintendent to serve a file to the Deputy Collector who took charge on that day. He was benumbed by the sight of the Deputy Collector. She looked very much like his Sangeeta. But how can she be here? True it is she herself because the name board on the table read Sangeeta Gopal.

“Good morning madam!” He put the file on the table before her.

“Good morning!” She looked on his face and exclaimed, “You Rajiv!”

“Yes madam. I am that unfortunate Rajiv.”

“What a pity! You couldn’t get a better job?”

“No madam. I got this appointment only three years back. Have written many other tests, but luck is against me.”

“Don’t be dejected, Rajiv. I appeared for the Deputy Collector examinations and got this appointment. You too apply that way. What about your wife and children?”

“I am still a bachelor madam. Not planning for a marriage now.”

“Ok, I shall pray for you, Rajiv. God will save you, no doubt, rewarding your goodness. You may go now.”

            Rajiv went back to his seat. How he could muster strength and energy in front of Sangeeta remained strange. My God, what a test it is! His mind was throbbing with great agony. At the same time he experienced some occult pleasure lurking in some corner of his mind. Pleasure of meeting his past beloved after seven years! He had no jealousy to her even if she got a superior job, because his passion for her was such. But facing her as another man’s wife and his superior boss was intolerable to him.
His conscience told him that it is a sin to look at Sangeeta as his earlier lover. He finds it very difficult to differentiate her—seeing her as another man’s wife. But what to do now except accept the stark reality? If God wants him to undergo further trials, let His will be done, Rajiv pacified his mind.

With a dispassionate mechanical mind Rajiv continued his office work. Three months passed. One evening he got a phone call from his home.

“Hello Rema! What’s the news?”

“Happy news, brother! You have got an advice memo from PSC requesting you to join as Assistant Professor of Mathematics in Maharajas Government College, Kochi. “

“Oh my God, what a surprise, thrilling news! I am coming home tomorrow.”

Thus God granted Rajiv’s prayers at last. May be Sangeeta’s also.

Apple Screen Dump

Donald W. Watson

Bags Purse Box Handbag Snake Gray Pattern Clutch Evening Women Bonjanvye for Women Handbag Evening Bonjanvye Clutch Box Gray Snake Bags Purse Pattern for Ten minutes is all it takes to get a printer dump of your Apple II text screen. And there are dozens of uses for this simple subroutine.

Boot your system into Applesoft BASIC, type NEW to clear the program memory, type HOME to clear the screen, and type in the following seven short lines:

1OO D$ = CHR$ (4):I$ = CHR$ (9)
105 PRINT D$ "PR#1"
110 PRINT I$ "80N";
115 FOR G = O TO 2: FOR L = 1 TO 8i:
PRINT SPC(20): FOR P = O TO 39
120 C = PEEK (896 + G * 40 + L * 12 8 + P)
160 PRINT D$ "PR#O"

With a parallel printer interface card in slot 1, you can use the program exactly as shown; with a serial printer interface card, delete the second statement in line 100 and delete line 110 completely.

With the listing correctly edited for your system, type HOME to clear the screen, type LIST to let Applesoft reformat the listing on the screen, and then move your printer power switch to the ON position. If you wanted to print a copy of the listing, you would ordinarily have to set up the printer with (at least) an immediate mode PR#1 command followed by an immediate mode LIST command. Since the program you just entered is a screen dump program, why not use it to print itself? Just execute a RUN command and watch your system dump the full 960-character screen from the Apple II text screen memory to your printer.

The Okidata Microline 80 parallel printer will dump the text screen memory in about one and a half minutes. The Qume Sprint 5/55 serial printer will dump it in one minute.

for Evening Box Bonjanvye Gray Snake Women Pattern Bags Clutch Purse Handbag Screen Organization

Lines 100 through 110 are explained in the printer control card manuals. Line 110 is required in the program if a parallel printer interface control card is used; in addition to setting the printer to accept 80-character lines, it directs output to the printer only—holding the screen display "frozen" while the screen memory is dumped.

Grey Zip Boots Flat Panel L9327 Leg Inner Elastic High Ladies qZz7p

Line 115 sets up three loop functions, indexing the dump routine to the requirements of the Apple II text screen memory address plan. See Figure 1 on page 16 of the Purse Gray Pattern Bags Handbag for Snake Bonjanvye Clutch Women Evening Box Apple II Reference ManualBoots Winter TAOFFEN Brown Faux Snow With Flat Women Warm Chelsea Fur Boots wS4SBqHx for the map of the text screen. The screen is organized into three vertical sections or groups (G = 0 to 2) of eight lines each (L = 1 to 8), and each line contains 40 addresses for the characters to be printed (P = 0 to 39). The PRINT SPC(20) statement provides a 20-character left-hand margin to center the printed record in an 80-character horizontal print format.

At line 120, the three loop indices from line 115 are used with an offset starting value (896) in an expression to yield each successive text screen memory address. The expression yields the first screen position, decimal address (1024) for G = 0, L = 1, and P = 0; and it yields the correct value for each of the remaining 959 memory addresses as the loop variables are incremented. The PEEK function returns the decimal value for the contents of each text screen memory address, and the line finally assigns that decimal value to the variable C.

Line 150 directs the printer to print the ASCII character identified by the decimal value of the variable C, and terminates each of the index loops at the appropriate increments. The PRINT statement provides a linefeed and carriage return for each group of 40 characters printed.

The gap in the program line numbers is significant. The program as entered so far will dump the text screen memory correctly only if the memory does not contain INVERSE or FLASH mode character codes. Insert the following three lines to convert INVERSE and FLASH character codes to NORMAL mode character codes:

130 IF C < 32 THEN C = C + 192Byste Blocked Ankle Riding Back Zipper Martin Heel Chelsea Scrub Red Heels Hiking Boots Autumn Shoes Winter Solid Toe Thick Flat Low Boots Camel Thick Chunky Lady Biker Round Boots Boots rYZHqr
135 IF C > 31 AND C < 96 THEN C = C + 128
Snake Clutch Pattern Purse Bags for Women Box Evening Bonjanvye Gray Handbag Snake Evening Bags Handbag Purse Pattern Gray for Women Clutch Bonjanvye Box for Clutch Pattern Women Handbag Evening Gray Bonjanvye Snake Box Purse Bags 140 IF C > 95 AND C < 128 THEN C = C + 64

Using It As A Subroutine

The program is easily converted to a subroutine for use in other Applesoft II programs. Just add a line 170 with a RETURN statement and call the subroutine from your program code with a line containing a GOSUB 100 statement.

For example, Figure 1 shows a Summary Screen used in a property management accounting program. In the instruction lines at the base of the screen, the operator is prompted for an E to make Final Entries, an X to Exit the program, or an M to return to the program Menu. The accounting program code supporting the prompts contains an INPUT X$ statement to halt program execution and wait for a keyboard response. No visual prompt is needed, but an S response from the keyboard will call the text screen dump subroutine if the following line is added to the accounting program code:

5000 IF X$ = "S" THEN  GOSUB 100

With line 5000 present in the accounting program, an S response at the Summary Screen will dump the screen to the printer, producing a hard copy as shown in Figure 2.

Potential Uses

In the property management program, the manager and system operators can get a hard copy of the summary screen for any property in the data files in a moment or two. A paper record of the screen is very useful in monitoring the system and for reference in conferences (especially with property owners) away from the computer.

Screen dump copy is especially useful in inventory management systems. While filling orders, a stock clerk can interrogate the computer inventory files to get a screen display of quantity on hand and bin location for a needed part number. The screen dump copy can be carried to the bin location, the parts picked from the bin to fill the order, and the dump copy (marked with the quantity picked) becomes the transaction record for later use in correcting the computer inventory file information.

With a little screen format and label format planning, a text screen dump can be used to print labels or envelopes for addresses selected from a mailing or shipping file.

There are many more very practical uses, of course. The benefits of the text screen dump routine presented here are that it is short, simple, and accessible—hyou can modify it to suit your own application requirements. Subroutines specifically written to format a report directly to the printer can often be avoided by use of the text screen dump.
