Killing Seals - Non-Veg-Double Standards?

"I recently got a mail saying 'STOP THE KILLING OF SEALS'..it showed gruesome pictures of baby seals being slaughtered.It didn't move me..
Is killing of animals in broilers and slaughter houses justified??Is it not double standards?
The use of pesticides and antibiotics is in a way justifiable..but we don't need meat to survive..
(sorry if am hurting the meat loving community )
Comments please..
I do not believe you can compare micro organisms to seals or chickens as they are much higher up in the food chain - have more idea of being alive feeling pain - if you consider micro organisms then why not consider plants too - they too emit sounds we cannot hear (like a dog whistle - I forget the word - high freq.) when they are broken/ plucked. "
 
"I'm sorry I fail to see the relation. What double standards, do you speak of? Seals are an endangered species, not abundant and canned like Tuna.
 
Either way, if you're looking at a whole 'vegan vs. non-vegan' debate, then you're touching on a dead end, as taste is entirely subjective.
 
The way I see it, life feeds on life to survive, that's the cruel order of the world, so I don't think you'd want to call yourself a hypocrite, if you come to realize just how many micro-organisms die under your respiration."
 
My response:
the big thing that I see as the diff is that humans are sentient - most high animals feel pain show love for off spring - but only we are sentient.
 
FYI - I'm a happy non veg - just that I did not see the simile with micros. killing baby seals is more unbearable as its not for food and the manner of killing is really barbaric.
 
But in the end its the livelihood of many that's why a "first world" government like Canada allows it. I'm against it - but then have we all stopped using TVs, petrol, chemicals, cigarettes, Computers and mobiles even though they are all harmful to us? they harm the atmosphere and kill other life   too - direct and in direct . Examples are too many but a few are: oil spills - birds, chemicals in rivers - fish, over population, farming - all forests and animals in them.
 
When you stop using a car / bus / train / chemicals/ plastic ... then you can sit on a high moral horse and preach about double stds. Until then we all have double standards. Just few are so old and well ingrained that the double is forgotten.

No trade with terrorists

 
"NEW DELHI: There seems no end to the self-goals BJP is prepared to concede. Just
 
as Congress was hit by minority affairs minister A R
Antulay's remarks connecting
shooting of Mumbai ATS chief Hemant Karkare with the Malegaon case, BJP leader Jaswant Singh offered it a lifeline, claiming he would do the Kandahar hostage-for-terrorists swap all over again. n a TV interview, Singh not only justified the Kandahar deal, he said if the situation so warranted, he was ready to repeat the swap that led to the release of Jaish-e-Mohammed founder Maulana Masood Azhar, Daniel Pearl's killer Omar Shaikh and another dangerous jihadi Mushtaq Zargar."
 
Everytime I think we need the BJP they say something stupid like this that makes me think a known bumbling foolish party like congress at least has more experience and wont go over board being on the right. trading terrorists is bad and that was proved in the Kandahar case - as those same low lifes attacked us again. No trade with terrorists - better deal with them once - pay once.

Print a picture, full page using Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (Vista ...)

Can use windows picture and fax viewer to open an image and print it as a full page print out.
Here are screen shots showing how a test print . The first image s1.jpg shows : how you can right click on the image in Windows Explorer, choose open with , then click
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer


A wizard starts and you need to press Next to go thru to the welcome screen. The next image shows the opened image in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Now press Ctrl-P or choose the Print icon (its between the Red X: Delete and Disk like: Save icons)


At this point you see an image like below: showing the images in that folder, just skip this with Next if you want to print only the current picture (this screen does not appear if there is only one image in that folder):-


Press Next choose the printer then press Printing Preferences (image s4.jpg ):


Image s5.jpg shows my printers preferences - its a HP and gives me the option to choose Best and the paper size.


Press Ok to exit the printers preferences and get back to the original wizard (Picture & Fax Viewers print wizard s4.jpg), here press next . Then you will see the image below which is the Picture & Fax Viewers print wizards screen to select the print type, here the default should be ok - Full Page Print centered and rotated to fit. See s6.jpg:


Press Next to send the job to the printer. You can monitor the jobs in the printer window (Printer Monitor icon usually appears in the system tray and clicking that opens the window).
The wizard will should show you a completed screen like s7.jpg s7


I hope you found this post useful, your welcome to comment. You could print with Internet explorer (IE) or any other browser or even Paint. In IE I found you need to remove the header and footer page number etc from the Print preferences window.
my favorite browser is Opera that has printing support too besides being the fastest renderer of web pages.

Heart By Pass - alternative - Useful Information

This is a new technique which has come to my knowledge very recently and I thought that I should also share with you all.

A few days back my Friends Father- in- law was admitted in a nursing home due to severe chest pain.

He had an attack in 1997 and was undergoing normal treatment.

Due to the sudden pain just 15 days back we once again got him admitted in a  private nursing home at Kandiwali, Mumbai.

The doctors later suggested for Angiography.

We conducted the Angiography at Hinduja Hospital and knew from the reports that he has multiple blockages.

The doctor told that he cannot undergo Angioplasty due to several blockages but suggested "By Pass Surgery".

The same day evening we bought him home since the doctor suggested that his heart is very weak and we can perform the by-pass only after 15 - 20 days.

In the mean time we were discussing this issue with our relatives and friends, we got this new information from one of our family friends.

There is a new therapy in the market which is known as - Chelation Therapy. Or Calation Therapy.

According to this therapy any patient who has to undergo by-pass need not undergo the same.

The patient is given appx. 18 bottles of blood where in some medicines are injected along with it.

The blood cleans the system and removes all the blockages from the heart.

The no. of bottles may increase depending upon the age factor and health of the patient.

The cost of the blood per bottle would be appx. Rs.2,500/- The treatment takes of appx. 1 month.

There are only 4 doctors in India and one of them is Dr.Dhananjay Shah at Malad (Mumbai) another at Karnataka.

He has a list of patients who had to undergo by-pass from Lilavati, Hinduja and other major hospitals but after undergoing the above treatment they are absolutely fine and leading a normal life.

I give below the Doctor's details for your info:

Dr. Dhananjay Shah.
Hospital Tel:  0091-22-2889 2089.
(Mumbai but there might be more information with your local doctors too though not everyone would know about it well as its not so remunerative as a full operation and its relatively new)

Kindly pass on the message to the people you know and one can save huge amount of money, time and risk of undergoing the operation.

no way to cross road at the windosor manor juction sankey road bangalore on the way to the new airport

I hate that the government/ cops have removed the signal near my house so cant cross easily. they removed the traffic signal near Windsor manor hotel cause they wanted to make a quick corridor to the new air port and promised a pedestrian underpass - but no sign of even starting on construction of that yet. as*$#!les should have left the signals for at least crossing road every 3 minutes till underpass ready. local governments suck.
 
Only reprieve is 530-8:30pm when there is a cop there who manually stops the traffic from one side when there is too much traffic on the 'signal less ' corridor - meaning its a failure and another example that they don't know what they are doing and cant plan - the new road system is ok when there is less traffic but they should have left the traffic signals for when there is heavy load and the pedestrian crossing all the time

Good one - a woman who reads (not a fishing joke)

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lakes area, the
wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book. Along comes a fishing
inspector in his boat.
 
He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies thinking "isn't that obvious!"
 
"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading."
 
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and make a report."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.
 
"But I haven't even touched you," says the man.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."
 
"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left............. !!
 
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think !!

Cop reads paper in rush hour while ...

Traffic police man  reads paper while traffic hurls past not caring about pedestrians or the little green signal for them. This was at the MG Road - Brigade Road crossing in Bangalore on 26th Sep 2008 at 3:23pm (airtel time on my phone - auto updates). I had to wait for the 2nd traffic light for pedestrians before I could cross from the other side.

Movie : you cant beat the zohan

enjoyable movie if you look under the PJs and sexual innuendos. Touching too - the hate, violence, similarities between Palestinians and Jews ... reminiscence of Pak-Ind. the end brought a tear - worth watching - with an open mind prepare to be shaken. not for prudes ; hilarious flick with some social issues dealt with brilliantly
 

The actions scenes were right out of a mix of Matrix , Rajmikant ....
http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1588742/story.jhtml
 
 

 
So again watch it if you like a good funny movie with a good fast story.
 
-------
 
Bits of the story I liked a lot (warning dont read if you have not seen the movie and plan to):
the size of his penis ... was really neat was it was not really what we all think it is was the hair around .... :) but still hes a pro at using it all - 'more bush more cushion for the ladies'
 
how both communities - Jewish and Palestianian, have so many similarities in food, speech, immigrant status - the problems and common goals.

scam - cash back card

CASH back cards - I don't know of all the offers but I know the standard chartered one is a scam. they charged me 3000 for it, I took it as I knew I had some high value transactions coming up. but then I came to know - after using it for 2 months that the max cash back is 500 at 1% for regular transactions 2.5% for petrol and 5% for telecom but BSNL charges 2% for credit card payments and the standard chartered site does not have anything like Citibank for free bill pay.
 
The total cash back is Rs 500/- per month - that means in a year max 3,000 , you charged 3,000 and its hard to spend enough to get the cash back every month;  this is a standard chartered scam.
 
I'm going to cancel my card in a few days and stick to my citi bank at least they tell you all the charges upfront and there is no charge if u pay within the bill period - nothing yearly or recurring.

splitting souls, karma, re birth and atonement

kharma/ souls - where do they go ? is there re birth ? what else can explain - social disparities , luck?
 
I used to wonder though - how come the population keeps growing ( #1 problem in 3rd world countries India esp.) - are they plant / animal souls ? do they come thru from other planets/ universes / wormholes?
 
My new theory - if you are really bad - your soul gets split up into sub-souls that each need salvation individually - before they join and the 'original' soul gets salvation. This is if you cannot do good deeds this life, help others/ teach/ volunteer ...
 
Souls of folks like Hitler , I'm sure got split into a few hundred souls!

encoding UTF-8 / Unicode how to save as


click the image to see the full size

When you need to save a html/ other text file with accents/ special characters like á can use text pad and use the save as dialog to choose the Encoding and choose UTF-8
See attached image TextPad_SaveAs_Encoding.JPG for a sample of the textpad encoding type in the save as dialog.
 
Also the html file needs to have the following meta header in the <head> section:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Tech Note:

In PHP code need to use the mb_ functions like mb_substr mb_ stands for multi byte functions. You need to replace these functions in other places where you use strings that might be multi byte like substr is replaced with mb_substr, mb_ send_ mail to send multi byte emails (that may have unicode characters in the text or subject), etc

DID YOU BRIBE ANYONE TODAY?

Many people take pride by saying "my India, my country". However, when it comes to ground reality, my country feeling fades away when they do not follow traffic rules, give bribes to govt. officials, public offices, at temples, etc....

The most important document that identifies you, The Passport, the process of getting one has taken people with surprise. Even after submitting valid documents and depositing the fees, people await for their passports from five to six months and in some cases even more. People are forced to bribe police officials for getting an okay report during verification process, which is the most important process for the issue of passport even when the facts are in place. And when the documents are not in accordance or you need to change or update information on passport, it might again take few months to get the work done. No doubt people are reluctant going themselves to the passport office and instead seek an agent to do the work to save time.

Other places where people often bribe officials are public offices from peons, guards to officers, VIP darshan in temples, traffic police for crossing speed limit, not holding driving license/ RC, jumping signals, no helmets, RTO officials, policemen to run cafes 24/7, ticket checkers to get reserved seats in trains, schools & colleges for getting admissions and of course there is no account about the black money.

These are a few situations where people have bribed officials to get their work done and save time.

Bangalore (Bengaluru) BLR international airport bus service, great ac red volvos, quick n comfortable

On flying ... its not eco friendly but god is it faster! I was very impressed with the red ac super comfort Volvo bus service to the new Bangalore airport . got there in 35 minutes from my house (near Windsor manor hotel) - that was early Sunday but on return - rush hour Wednesday 6 50pm to 7 50pm!
 
unfortunately not many people are using this service ... they do not know u can go for Rs125-250 in an AC bus that has only 2/3 seats - rest is racks for luggage - so its great and quick to get on and off - luggage is in the same area as the passengers.
 
of course no one to help u ... but for most beats a taxi/ self drive. even if u r going to see someone off u can go with them in the bus and return in comfort ... save money and nearly same time as car ...
 
there are non ac buses too for half the rate. http://www.bengaluruairport.com/ 
 
More information : 2009 Nov link

Meditation Technique with Breathing

Meditation


  Hi please try it for 2- 3 weeks at least !

Remember there are a lot of methods to meditate . This is an old yoga method that is simple and very effective but only if practised regularly so give it 3 weeks - best 40 days and do it daily - best is in the morning - freshens you up and gets you ready for the day . If not can do it anytime except keep a gap of 25-30 mins.. after a meal .

Loosen any tight clothing - and remove shoes/socks/belts if possible.


Enjoy life ponder on the little pleasures like on eating a grape savour the taste.

The technique itself is {takes about 10 mins.}:

Sit down cross legged on a mattress or carpet OR on a comfortable chair if you can't sit down .

Close your eyes ;



Say a 10 second prayer of thank-u

Keep your arms on your side , with your palms made in a fist and kept near your shoulders - your elbows bent and near your body ,
Now in quick movements straighten and raise your arms right up and then back to ur sides - let them slap your ribs lightly as they come down - so breathe in when u raise and breathe out when u come down .
Do this 10 - 12 times then rest for half a minute then again and rest and once again .

If you didn't get that part its OK - do the next part well - its the main thing .


Now concentrate on ur breathing count slowly to 20 breathing slow - one count for every i n   and  o u t   s l o w ....

1
2
3
4
REMEMBER: concentrate on ur breathing - if ur thoughts wander than bring them back to ur breathing in out in out

breathe a little faster 30 times
all the time concentrating on ur breathing

1 breath in breath out
2 breath in breath out
3 breath in breath out

REMEMBER: concentrate on ur breathing - i fur thoughts wander than bring them back to ur breathing in out in out

poems and Haikus by Lata Kapila

Critism welcome

 

HAIKU

 

Meters High Waves, Winds

Strike disrupt into minusclues

Huge sheets water awesome

 

HAIKU

 

Books in a pile

Un-sung tales of might valour

No time from strife

 

HAIKU

 

Owls are weary of light

Moles daylight Bats sunshine

Man in blinds to life

 

HAIKU

 

Depth of colours vary

Life exists worms trees man

Consciousness differ

 

HAIKU

 

Examining egg

Abandoned under tree

Feel hundred eyes

 

HAIKU

 

Buds streching to touch

Blue skies clouds above dwarfed

Giraffe his long neck

 

HAIKU

 

I curl up to sleep

Rocks under water cozy

Swaying water soothe

 

 

 

POEMs

 

 

Thoughts

With only you and I

Entangled thoughts

Intertwined bodies

Arm in arm we lie

Why is my heart still so cold

cheeks  wet

 

 

Forlorn

 

She lies in my heart

Morbid quiet for love

She mourns for me

Not realizing she abides in me

 

Birds hasten to nests

To narrate the harrowing experience of men in steel

Trespassing their domain.

 

 

Reality

 

The sea spray still reminds me of the spark in your eyes

The wind through the leaves

imitates your sweet voice

The opening buds are your face in happiness

The twittering birds calling out to my goddness my gladness

My spirit in repose

Come the shaky fingers of dawn

Wake me up – Wake me up

My dreams turning to reality.

Thanks Kunad for , I was just to lazy to find out all the English names :- Just read your mom's recipe and thought I would send the English names of the ingredients to the Methi Roti.
 
Methi = Fenugreek
 
Jeera = Cumin
 
Dhaniya = Corriander
 
Atta = wholewheat flour
 
Pudina = Mint
 
Kotamari = Corriander leaves
 
Besan = Gram flour
 
There are no equavalents to ajwaan the closest in taste to it is probably caraway seeds although not quite. Keep sending your mom's recipes to the likes of us out here.
 
Recipe by my mom Lata Kapila the poet , read her poems .
