For the past few months my connection with music has grown stronger than ever. First, there is the flute. If u remember It was my new year resolution to start learning flute which you can check out HERE. And so I did. Its been 3 months since I am learning Carnatic flute, which is also called the Venu.
Now most people know that Indian classical music has two distinct disciplines.. That of Hindustani and Carnatic.
As of now I cannot comment or compare between the two but I can say that I have become familiar with the basic elements of Carnatic music through my flute practice. Thus I am not lost when someone says Raag Kalyani or Roopak Talam. However this is just the beginning.
Also I have been busy doing Satsangs all over Bangalore(especially in the Yes+ centres),,, that is after Rashmin Bhaiya told me -- "Your job is to do satsangs! At least for this lifetime". We have also had a few "Awakening To New Reality" Programs.. with grand sound system and all the other stuff that make people ask for more.
I have been really thinking to record some of the songs in the ANR and put it up in the blog here. I hope that might be coming soon...
If you are learning some instrument or are interested to learn, kindly leave a comment... I am looking forward to keeping in touch with u guys...
P.S: From now on you can expect the posts in this blog to be fairly frequent.:)

I wonder if the judge in Moore said no so the judge in Shepard can say yes, instant conflict. Would that not go to Illinois Supreme rite away? or am I as stupid at the judicial system as I think I am?
Wrong court system.
This is federal. So the only place to go is the seventh circuit and then to SCOTUS.

The United States Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case stemming from sectarian prayers before local government meetings in Greece, New York. At the heart of the case is the question of if a policy regarding invocations can be pluralistic and inclusive in letter, but not in spirit.
"Town officials said that members of all faiths, and atheists, were welcome to give the opening prayer. In practice, the federal appeals court in New York said, almost all of the chaplains were Christian. […] Two town residents sued, saying the prayers ran afoul of the First Amendment's prohibition of the government establishment of religion. The appeals court agreed. "The town's prayer practice must be viewed as an endorsement of a particular religious viewpoint," Judge Calabresi wrote."
This is a very big deal. One that strikes to the very heart of a "model invocation policy" peddled by conservative Christian legal advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF – formerly known as the Alliance Defense Fund). The thesis is that sectarian prayers (rather than the "ceremonial deism" that permeates many government bodies) are constitutional so long as the written policy is inclusive of all faiths. However, they calm nervous Christian government officials worried about an influx of religious minorities by noting that no special efforts to be inclusive are necessary.
"If a public body implements a legitimately neutral policy and procedure to invite local clergy from established congregations in its community to offer an opening invocation, that public body is not required to extend any extraordinary efforts to include particular minority faiths. In other words, no apology is necessary for the demographics of the community that the public body serves."
In short, opening invocations can overwhelmingly reference Jesus Christ, and they can send invitations only to "established congregations" (ie brick-and-mortar churches) so long as they include a religious minority who inquires/complains. Something I've dubbed the "include a Wiccan gambit," which is exactly what Greece, New York did.
"In just a few seconds' time during the April Town Board meeting, Jennifer Zarpentine made Greece history. Zarpentine, a Wiccan, delivered the first-ever pagan prayer to open a meeting of the Greece Town Board. Her hands raised to the sky, she called upon Greek deities Athena and Apollo to 'help the board make the right informed decisions for the benefit and greater good of the community.' A small cadre of her friends and coven members in the audience chimed in 'so mote it be.'"
For a time, this gambit seemed to work in the lower courts. Then, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals and the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals both handed down rulings that called into question whether this invocation tokenism could really offset a regular schedule of Christian prayer.
"We conclude, on the record before us, that the town's prayer practice must be viewed as an endorsement of a particular religious viewpoint. This conclusion is supported by several considerations, including the prayer-giver selection process, the content of the prayers, and the contextual actions (and inactions) of prayer-givers and town officials. We emphasize that, in reaching this conclusion, we do not rely on any single aspect of the town's prayer practice, but rather on the totality of the circumstances present in this case.
The town's process for selecting prayer-givers virtually ensured a Christian viewpoint. Christian clergy delivered each and every one of the prayers for the first nine years of the town's prayer practice, and nearly all of the prayers thereafter. In the town's view, the preponderance of Christian clergy was the result of a random selection process. The randomness of the process, however, was limited by the town's practice of inviting clergy almost exclusively from places of worship located within the town's borders. The town fails to recognize that its residents may hold religious beliefs that are not represented by a place of worship within the town. Such residents may be members of congregations in nearby towns or, indeed, may not be affiliated with any congregation. The town is not a community of religious institutions, but of individual residents, and, at the least, it must serve those residents without favor or disfavor to any creed or belief."
These cases, and the "model invocation policy" itself, are haunted by the involvement and activism of modern Pagans. It isn't just that Greece included a Wiccan sectarian prayer among thousands of Christian prayers. The ADF's policy blueprint was partially constructed around two 4th Circuit cases involving public prayers and modern Pagans: Simpson v. Chesterfield County, the case that helped create the so-called "Wiccan-proof" invocation policy, and the Darla Wynne case, in which a Wiccan from South Carolina won a battle against sectarian government prayer. These two cases helped set the precedents that advocates of sectarian prayer have been navigating through, and their efforts at mob-rule prayer sectarianism will finally be tested by America's highest court.
How will the court decide? It's hard to say. SCOTUS took a pass on considering the similar 4th Circuit decision, letting their decision stand, but they may have simply been waiting for a case that would suit the Court's needs better. For the most part, the modern Supreme Court doesn't like to corner itself into making sweeping decisions, and it could be that the justices see a needle-threading solution to the issue at hand. Then again, we could be in for another "ministerial exception" moment where broad new freedoms are outlined and defined. At this point it's anyone's guess, but I'm sure advocates on both sides of this issue are readying themselves for a fight that could shape invocation policy for a generation.

Antonio Ballatore's Funky Fresh Warehouse Kitchen
When I think of Antonio Ballatore I imagine bright pink and bold design. Luckily, those two things can be found throughout his house and more specifically in his kitchen. He's created a funky and fresh kitchen that meets all of his needs and makes a huge impact.
Who doesn't appreciate the fact that he took the hot pink goose that made him famous and splashed it on the giant wall in his kitchen. If you look closely you'll actually see that very goose hanging in the center of the wall! Your eye is immediately drawn to it and the pink really sets the tone for the whole space.
The repurposed wood is the epitome of what Antonio is all about and really creates a vintage and rustic vibe along side the brick wall and wood beams. There's ample storage below that is almost hidden and just simple metal shelves in the corner for dishes. I love the simplicity of the shelves and concrete counter tops along side the stainless steel appliances. The punch of pink on the walls and little pieces of artwork add so much interest and personality to the space without looking cliche.

The Kings open their defense of their first Stanley Cup championship this afternoon against the Chicago Blackhawks, the first game to be played following the end of the fourth-month lockout. The Kings' last game at the arena was the clinching Game 6 victory over the New Jersey Devils last June.
Fans arrived hours before the opening faceoff in anticipation of the raising of the championship banner and the awarding of championship rings to the players. The previous banners and the retired jersey numbers were moved from the west wall and hanged from the rafters at the east end.
It created a new look for the arena, with the Lakers' 16 championship banners and their retired jersey numbers at one end of the building and the Kings' now at the opposite end. Now there is plenty of room for more championship banners and more retired jerseys.
The Kings took the ice with a new look, too. Center Anze Kopitar and defenseman Willie Mitchell, two key figures during their run to the Cup last spring, did not dress because of knee injuries. Kopitar has a sprained knee and Mitchell underwent offseason surgery.
The Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup two seasons ago.

Setting the Bar High
Keeping in mind it's just one game, the Chapman offense set some lofty standards in its season-opening victory over Puget Sound. Three weeks into the Division III season, the Panthers rank No. 2 in the nation in total offense, scoring and sacks per game, while ranking No. 3 in kickoff returns.
Quick Out of the Gate
Just how impressive was the Panthers' 28-point first quarter in Week 1? Chapman's 28 points in the game's first 15 minutes was more than it scored in its first two games combined last year and more than it totaled in six of nine games in 2011.
Racking Up Yards, Err, Mileage
Chapman's 615 yards of total offense was the equivalent of nearly a half-mile of offense against Puget Sound. It was the fourth-highest offensive output in school history and the most since 1996 when the Panthers set a school record with 644. Here's how the top four offensive games compare in Chapman history:
9/21/96 @ Redlands 644 yards
11/11/95 vs. Whittier 640 yards
10/14/95 @ Menlo 623 yards
9/8/12 vs. Puget Sound 615 yards
Points on the Wilsontron
The 55-35 win over the Loggers was also the Panthers' fourth-highest scoring game in Ernie Chapman Stadium history and the eighth -highest in Chapman lore. Here are the top-5 high scoring games the Panthers have had at home:
11/11/95 vs. Whittier W, 63-7
10/22/94 vs. Menlo W, 62-0
11/5/94 vs. Pomona-Pitzer W, 61-14
9/8/12 vs. Puget Sound W, 55-35
10/28/95 vs. Redlands W, 54-24
Like an ol' Vet
Sophomore QB Kean Stancil looked anything but inexperienced in his first Chapman start under center. Stancil led the Panthers to three scoring drives in their first three possessions and connected on 19 of 20 pass attempts in the first half. He finished 26 of 32 for 336 yards, with two TD passes and two rushing TDs. He is the first CU playcaller to throw for over 300 yards in his debut and was named Chapman Athlete of the Week.
D3Football.com Team of the Week
After their impressive Week 1 performance, Chapman received some well-deserved recognition nationally. Junior KR Austin Maranville and the entire offensive line were named to the D3Football.com Team of the Week. Maranville set a school record with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown on the game's opening play while seniors D.J. Brandel and Andrew Gutierrez, sophomore Chris Collodel and juniors Justin LaLonde and Andrew Palacios helped Chapman rack up 615 yards of total offense and did not allow a sack.
Extra, Extra (Points)!
The Panthers' special teams are just five boots away from another school record. Chapman needs just five consecutive successful PATs to equal the school record of 54 in a row set from 2007-09. The current streak, which began in 2010, has been thanks primarily to senior PK Mauricio Alfonso who extended his school record in Week 1 by going 6-for-6 and is now 53-for-53 in his career.
Alfonso Equals Career Field Goal Mark
Alfonso's next field goal will establish a new bar for kickers in Chapman history as he will stand alone as the career leader. With a pair of field goals against Puget Sound (from 35 and 40 yards), Alfonso equaled the career mark of 18 set by Bill Hamlin from 1994-96.
Two-Sport Star Named SCIAC Athlete of the Week
Alfonso - also an All-Region forward on the Panthers' soccer team - was named SCIAC Male Athlete of the Week for Sept. 3-9. In addition to all of his accomplishments on the gridiron against Puget Sound, less than 12 hours later, Alfonso scored two goals including the game-winner in the men's soccer team's 3-2 win over Whitman College.
Chapman vs. Whitworth
This is the sixth meeting all-time between Chapman and the Pirates and the third in Spokane, where the Panthers are winless in two previous meetings. Chapman defeated Whitworth 16-14 for the first time last fall on a last-minute field goal at home. The Panthers last traveled to Whitworth in 2009 losing to the Pirates 23-8.
Whitworth in 2012
The Pirates are playing their first home game of the season after beginning the year with three road games - all victories. The 3-0 start is the Pirates' best since 2006 when the Bucs went 10-0 during the regular season. Whitworth currently ranks 24th in the nation in scoring, averaging 40.0 points per game and are led by senior WR Jake DeGooyer and his 135.7 receiving yards per game.
Chapman Football on Air
For the sixth-straight year, Chapman has partnered with the school's on-campus radio station, Chapman Radio, to broadcast eight of the nine Panthers' football games in 2012, including all four home games. The games will be streamed live on the internet at http://www.chapmanradio.com/sports. A rotation of on-air student talent will provide play-by-play and commentary for every down of Chapman football.
Live Video/Stats of Home Games
This is the first season that Chapman has partnered with Stretch Internet to offer live stats and streaming video for all of the team's home games. The video stream will be synced with the Chapman Radio broadcast to give fans video, audio and live stats in an all-in-one portal at http://client.stretchinternet.com/client/chapman.portal#

It's An Olympics Tradition: How Difficult Can NBC Universal Make It To Enjoy The Olympics?
from the yet-again dept
Hell, even when they go on Twitter the Olympics can't do things right. There was a lot of buzz around the fact that NBC and Twitter teamed up to create an "Olympics" hub. Great (though some people are pointing out that NBC's own Twitter feed is now tweeting stories that it refuses to broadcast live). However, as Canada-based reporter Mathew Ingram discovered in trying to look up the Olympics Twitter hub, thanks to NBC Universal restrictions, Twitter is geoblocking access. To check it out, I visited the Olympics hub site from the US and saw this:

About Moths:
There are 2 kinds of clothes moths which are: The Case Bearing Clothes Moth and the Common Clothes Moth.
Both Species evolved in a bird or animal nest and only eat fibres such as wool, fur and feather and they are most likely to go for clothes and carpets within a dark place where they are undisturbed.
The clothes moth will hide in dark areas such as collars and cuffs and they also thrive on humid conditions. Sometimes the larvae of these pests can be quite active and could be seen crawling on clothes or on the floor. But besides feeding on clothes, rugs and carpets and household furniture the clothes moth will also feed on fur, stored wool and other similar articles, they also feed on pollen, hair, feathers and dead insects.
The average clothes moth has a wingspan of approximately ½ inch, however the male is a little less, and their body is about ¼ inch long with a golden yellow sheen. Their eggs are oval and an ivory colour and the larvae is a shinny creamy whitish colour with a brown head.

Sept. 17, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - On Wednesday, junior DeRon Brown earned the New England region's top weekly honor in football after being selected as the Boston Globe Gold Helmet award winner following the Engineers' impressive victory against Mass Maritime last Saturday. Brown delivered the second-highest single-game rushing total in school history while MIT opened the fall slate with two straight wins for the first time since 2004.
Brown was electrifying in the Engineers' season-opening win against Maine Maritime as he rushed for 184 yards and two scores to pace a tremendous performance for the MIT offense. Against Mass Maritime, the junior from Galax, Va., was even better as he rushed for a career-high 251 yards and two touchdowns while averaging 9.3 yards per carry. Through the first two games of the season, MIT has authored the best running attack in the New England Football Conference (NEFC), averaging 316 yards and a league-best nine touchdowns.
Brown's Gold Helmet selection marks the fourth in program history and the second since 2005. Running back Jose DeLeon captured the honor after setting the single-game rushing record in 1995 (269 yards), while Shane LaHoussse accepted the award after leading MIT past Stonehill College in its inaugural varsity game in 1988. After throwing for an Institute-record 387 yards and four touchdowns toward the end of the 2005 season, current MIT junior Rick Mancuso was honored with Tech's first Gold Helmet selection in 10 years.

Super Bowls and Royal Weddings – Betting on a Sure Thing
What do the Super Bowl and Kate and William's royal wedding have in common? Both involve Big Ben, absolutely absurd "proposition" bets (How long will it take Christina Aguilera to sing the National Anthem? What color hat will the Queen be wearing?), and each will attract enormous worldwide audiences.
One other thing: it's a sure thing that more of us will watch these events on tablets, laptops, smart phones and other mobile devices than ever before.
Today's release of Cisco's 2011 Visual Network Index Global Mobile Data Forecast confirms this: we have an insatiable appetite for mobile devices and the applications that those devices deliver.
Here's what the data reveal: despite the global economic woes in many regions, growth in demand for mobile data has held steady or increased. Nothing is stopping that growth. Not offloading mobile traffic to fixed networks via Wi-Fi or Femto cells. Not tiered pricing plans offered by mobile carriers. Growth projections may adjust year to year, but the direction is clearly up, up, and away.
Consider this:
- By 2015, there will be more than 5.6 billion handheld or personal devices and more than 1.5 billion machine to machine devices.
- During that same period, global mobile traffic will outgrow fixed data traffic by 3.3 times to 75 exabytes annually (compare: 19 billion DVDs – that's a lot of movies!)
- Mobile video, in all kinds of applications, will make up 2/3 of mobile data traffic in five years.
All over the globe, we want computing power in our hands and on our laps, and once we have it, we want more of it and we use more of it – all driving more packets over mobile networks, which themselves will become faster over the next five years.
The phenomenon is truly global. From countries like India (Compound Annual Growth Rate CAGRof 158% for the forecast period) and Mexico (CAGR of 131%), to the Middle East and Africa (regionally, a CAGR of 129%).
No corner of the globe is exempt so long as there's some way to get those batteries charged. By 2015, Cisco projects the world will be consuming 6.3 exabytes/month of mobile data. In the US, we tapped, clicked, talked, and watched about 16.4m gigabits/month of mobile data in 2009. In 2015, that number grows to 914.6 million gigabits/month – a CAGR of 83%.
Governments and regulators around the world would be well served to heed the example of US policymakers, who are actively on the hunt for new spectrum to meet the rising demand for mobile data. The US FCC and the Obama Administration want to identify, and repurpose, 500 MHz of spectrum for wireless broadband use by 2020, and deliver the first 300 MHz of that total by 2015. Congress is already at work to provide needed tools, such as voluntary incentive auctions, to help deliver radio spectrum that is the lifeblood of mobile networks.
It's a safe bet we're going to need more radio spectrum to keep up with demand. At least for those of us who care about football highlights and Kate Middleton's wedding dress.
