Has been a wonderful start and great progress so far with my son. Started with skepticism as we are new to US. But it is a wonderful experience.
This school is fine. The faculty is great and the facility is excellent. Great diversity and a real dedication to learn.
Sadly, I believe that the color of your skin and your economic level greatly affects the way you and your children are treated at this school. If you are diligent in monitoring what you are told about what is, or will happen in the school and classroom vs. what actually does happen in the school and classroom you may find what I found--a large discrepancy. Some infractions are minor while others are major and can have a negative impact on not only your child's education but on his or her self esteem. For those who will disagree with me that is fine, and of course it's your prerogative. All I'm suggesting is that you monitor your child's experience at Dogwood very carefully and this includes making unscheduled and unexpected visits to the school. Listen and learn. I sincerely hope that your experience is different from mine. Just because a staff member or part of the administration smiles politely at you and tells you what they believe you want to hear does not mean that your child will be treated well.
This is a bad school and the money is low.I wouldn't recommend this school. The teachers are nice but the school isnt that great
All three of our children have or are attending Dogwood. The school did not perform well in the past due to the high number of ESL students attending. The only bad thing is that we lost the modified calender schedule over the summer. The staff is great and the administration goes out of their way to make themselves present and involved.
I wish county would realize they can't just throw money at the problem, because the school has been so bad it gets a lot of funding, free lunches, free after school programs, but if the problem is the student body is bad best chance for those kids is to ship them to other schools and make this one a magnet school. You can have the best intentions and funding but until the makeup of the student body changes, it's going to be a bad school.
I am a mother of 3 children, two of which are of school age. We sent our children to a Blue Ribbon private school for several years but made the decision to switch them to the local public school for a number of reasons. My husband and I are very happy with the school and our children and so much happier. The classroom sizes are low and the quality of the education is superb. I am a believer that education needs to be positive and that is what this school is all about. The teachers are genuinely happy, dedicated, involved and energetic, but most importantly, very positive and nuturing. The principal is simply outstanding. She is so visible and is regularly seen in the cafeteria, walking around and helping kids. It is really an unbelievable thing to witness her in action. Watch this school--it will end up being a model school.
My child has enjoyed the gifted program, loves reading, science, and loves teachers. My perception is that Dogwood makes a great attempt to make sure every child's individual educational needs are being met--perhaps better than most elementary school in Ffx County. Certainly not all teachers are perfect, but for the most part, we have been impressed so far with the quality of the teaching. I believe the school community (parents included) could do more to bridge the social gaps and to create more unity with non-English speaking families of the school.
My children have thrived here! One has special needs and receives the support & accomodations he needs. They've both had excellent teachers. Their key strength is the ability to ladder instruction, providing the right level of challenge for each student. Class sizes tend to be less than at other schools and additional resources are available for ESOL students. It also has a full-time gifted and talented instructor (other non-gifted center schools share a GT teacher). I recommend the school highly.
Well, these last updates are older and my child was not enrolled during this time. However, this is one of the worst schools in the entire Fairfax County Public School system. I say that not only as a parent of a child who attended there, but with input from 3 separate Fairfax County School Teachers. I have two friends with children that attended kindergarten the same year my child did. The material that their children learned in the beginning of the year, my son was learning towards the end of the year. They have no interest whatsoever in assisting children with special needs. Fairfax County has some wonderful schools (so I have heard) but this is definitely not one of them.
For the past 11 years, at least one of my children has attended Dogwood Elementary. We've endured bad press, a devastating fire and 3 Principals. I have been a Dogwood supporter all these years. I am involved and often in the building, so I see first hand what goes on there. My kids continue to perform well above average on tests like the SOL's. My oldest child was well prepared and continues to do well in challenging IB courses offered at South Lakes High School. We love Dogwood's diversity. I consider it the best kept secret in Reston!
Dogwood is an excellent school. The building is brand new because of a fire in 2000 in which the entire building was gutted. Students were sent to 3 differrent schools in 2000 and 2001. This affected test scores in those years.

Katy Perry's Prismatic world tour's kicked off! The singer had been counting down to the big night by posting a different outfit sketch on Instagram every day - and now we've seen her tour wardrobe in the flesh!
There's a red tasselled body suit, a firework emblazoned ball gown, a sheer 'birthday suit' and a leopard print cat look with a tail and ears.
One of our favourite looks is a Jeremy Scott for Moschino '80s combo, featuring patterned leggings, a bold yellow emoji-printed jacket, skirt and bra top. It also seems Katy's developed a passion for Italian style as alongside the Moschino outfit, she's also unveiled looks from Valentino and Roberto Cavalli.
[Instagram - Katy Perry]
There's also a dramatic Valentino dress. The floorsweeping sheer gown is pale pink and covered in a multicoloured butterflies. It comes with a sparkling cape with multicoloured lining. It's annotated 'happiness is like a butterfly'.
Another look is a sparkling Roberto Cavalli mini dress. The form-fitting frock is a shimmering mix of blue and purple and has reflective sheer panelling around the neckline and tassles at the bottom.
It seems Cavalli is the designer of choice for tour wardrobes at the moment. Miley Cyrus sported a series of couture looks from the label on her Bangerz world tour and Beyonce also selected a Cavalli show-stopper for her Mrs Carter tour.
See all of Katy Perry's tour looks in our round-up above.

The shape of an object located in some space is a geometrical description of the part of that space occupied by the object, as determined by its external boundary – abstracting from location and orientation in space, size, and other properties such as colour, content, and material composition. Mathematician and statistician David George Kendall writes: In this paper 'shape' is used in the vulgar sense, and means what one would normally expect it to mean. [...] We here define 'shape' informally as 'all the geometrical information that remains when location, scale and rotational effects are filtered out from an object.' Simple shapes can be described by basic geometry objects such as a set of two or more points, a line, a curve, a plane, a plane figure, or a solid figure. Most shapes occurring in the physical world are complex. Some, such as plant structures and coastlines, may be so arbitrary as to defy traditional mathematical description – in which case they may be analyzed by differential geometry, or as fractals.

I haven't read the manga, so perhaps it defies logic... but doesn't Charmander evolve into Charmeleon before becoming Charizard? —darklordtrom 02:55, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, but the manga as you said it defies logic so it went from Charmander to Charizard then de-evolved. --☆Coolピカチュウ! 02:56, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
- I see. Feel free to put doubleheaded arrows back in then. But actually use doubleheaded arrows instead of two different arrows. And perhaps make a note of that somewhere so I don't make a fool of myself again :D —darklordtrom 02:58, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
- Speaking of doubleheaded arrows, there's one as the last character in the character palette (as of this comment). There's really no need to have two different characters try to mimic the behavior of one character that actually exists in the system.

All My Friends Are Dead
If you're a dinosaur, all of your friends are dead. If you're a pirate, all of your friends have scurvy. If you're a tree, all of your friends are end tables. Each page of this laugh-out-loud illustrated humor book showcases the downside of being everything from a clown to a cassette tape to a zombie. Cute and dark all at once, this hilarious children's book for adults teaches valuable lessons about life while exploring each cartoon character's unique grievance and wide-eyed predicament. From the sock whose only friends have gone missing to the houseplant whose friends are being slowly killed by irresponsible plant owners (like you), All My Friends Are Dead presents a delightful primer for laughing at the inevitable.

It's a picture book that dances around the subject of death giving it a humorous twist. The book is one where the jokes are so bad they're good! My sister and I laughed so loudly when we read it.
All My Friends Are Dead's strength is in its main theme. "All my friends are dead" is followed by "All my friends are bread" (a baker), "All my friends are hoaxes" (a yeti) and "All my friends are obsolete" (a cassette tape). It's this sharing of woe which delivers the humour; misery loves company, after all. And the creative deviations on the theme are what keep the reader going. However, when the book leaves the theme entirely, it loses its charm. For example, after the tree proclaims all his friends are end tables, an end table says, "I was never friends with that guy." The tree responds, "Dangit." And while it might be funny in another context, here it halts the established flow. Other attempts at humour intrude as well: on a desert island, one of two lone men announces, "All my friends are Phil! …The only ship we need is a friend-ship, huh, Phil?" Followed by a facepalm by the other man. Rather awkward. All that said, the finish is a perfect contrast: the tree's monologue is spot-on, as is the woodcutter's appearance. And flipping to the very last page, past the acknowledgements and author notes, the opening dinosaur makes a re-appearance… however hilariously short-lived.
this was such a cute and funny book! I completely adored it, although it was kind of sad in a weird way and was very short.
I love this book. This book made me laugh and cry at the same time.

Marc Stein: All indications point to Mavs signing Monta Ellis to three-year deal worth $25+ mil with their remaining cap space. NOT via S-and-T w/Bucks Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
The Dallas Mavericks have struck a free-agent deal with guard Monta Ellis, according to sources close to the process. Sources told ESPN.com that the Mavericks and Ellis have agreed to terms on a three-year deal that -- depending on where Dallas' ends up in terms of salary-cap space as it works on a number of deals -- could rise to as high as $30 million. The deal, at the minimum, will be in the $25 million range, sources said. ESPN.com
Ken Berger: League source confirms the Mavs have reached a three-year agreement with free-agent guard Monta Ellis. Twitter @KBergCBS
Marc Stein: Monta Ellis and Mavericks closing in on a three-year deal that could rise to as much as $30 million. Deal on course to be completed today Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
The Mavericks don't expect to do any more summer shopping for backcourt help. "That's probably a long shot," president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson told reporters Wednesday. In other words, don't hold your breath for Monta Ellis to become a Maverick. ESPN.com
The Bucks have not yet signed free agents O.J. Mayo, Zaza Pachulia and Carlos Delfino while waiting to sort out the situation with restricted free agent Brandon Jennings and unrestricted free agent Monta Ellis, who has yet to sign with a team. A source confirmed that Ellis fired his longtime agent Jeff Fried and it is thought he will be hiring Dan Fegan, who serves as Dwight Howard's agent. Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Jason Jones: I'm told there's nothing imminent with the Kings involving Monta Ellis. Twitter @mr_jasonjones
After an increasing belief the Chicago Bulls had been in position to acquire Monta Ellis, the Sacramento Kings have separated themselves as frontrunners to sign the free agent guard on a three-year contract, league sources told RealGM on Tuesday afternoon. RealGM
Ellis set up meetings with teams over the weekend and into the week, and he privately believed in recent days that joining the Bulls in a sign-and-trade between Chicago and the Milwaukee Bucks had been a growing possibility. Despite a hard push out of the Bulls, they ultimately couldn't make the moves necessary to facilitate a potential sign and trade, a source said. RealGM
Chris Broussard: Sources: Monta Ellis hoping to choose btwn ATL, Sacramento, Charlotte and Dallas within next 36-48 hours Twitter @Chris_Broussard
Rick Bonnell: Regarding ESPN connecting Bobcats and Monta Ellis: Doesn't seem like anything very serious, from what I hear. Twitter @rick_bonnell
Marc Stein: As state for days, Bucks want Jeff Teague. That's undeniable. Still TBD: Are Hawks ready to take back Jennings OR Monta in sign-and-trade? Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc Stein: Sacramento, of course, still trying to convince Monta to commit to Kings. @Vivek Ranadive can amnesty Salmons to help with creating more cap space Twitter @ESPNSteinLine
Marc J. Spears: Kings' contract talks with Bucks free agent guard Monta Ellis have been described as "aggressive," a source told Y! Sports. Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo
I hear that there are many Monta Ellis rumors. I would say at this point they are just rumors. Some of them don't make sense to me. I don't see the Hawks using much of their remaining cap space on one player - but I could be wrong. I'm also not sure that Jeff Teague going to the Bucks in a trade could happen. Stay tuned on those fronts. Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Alex Kennedy: The Atlanta Hawks are negotiating with Monta Ellis, per a source. I'm hearing deal would be about $10 million a year. Not sure about years. Twitter @AlexKennedyNBA
Alex Kennedy: Nothing is imminent between the Atlanta Hawks and Monta Ellis at this point, but the two sides are engaged in talks. Twitter @AlexKennedyNBA
The Hawks, according to NBA front-office sources, have emerged as a serious suitor for Ellis in free agency on top of the deals Atlanta has already struck with former Utah Jazz forward Paul Millsap and returning sharpshooter Kyle Korver. ESPN.com
The Denver Nuggets are another team known to covet Ellis, for example, but Denver is said to be shopping veteran guard Andre Miller to try to create enough financial flexibility to make Ellis a competitive offer. ESPN.com

The 'NET' tram system in Nottingham is currently being extended to Beeston and beyond.
This will have some effect on our road access and car parking.
While Chilwell Road looks closed or shut our church should always be accessible by car during the tram works, though at times you may only be able to approach from one route. There may be times when necessary work will block or limit access to the church, but when this is known to happen advance warning will be given.
The recent news from the council can be found here.
Please click Beeston Traffic Management for the current details from NET (April 2013).
Directions for Chilwell Road Methodist church are below.
latest update, June 2014: a section of Chilwell road has now been re-opened to traffic, this is from Middle Street to Imperial Road.

The picture opens in Warsaw circa 1941, when sewer worker Socha agrees to conceal 12 Polish Jews in the cit...
From acclaimed director Agnieszka Holland, In Darkness is based on a true story. Leopold Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in Lvov, a Nazi occupied city in Poland, one day encounters a group of Jews trying to escape the liquidation of the ghetto. He hides them for money in the labyrinth of the town's sewers beneath the bustling activity of the city above. What starts out as a straightforward and cynical business arrangement turns into something very unexpected, the unlikely alliance between Socha and the Jews as the enterprise seeps deeper into Socha's conscience. The film is also an extraordinary story of survival as these men, women and children all try to outwit certain death during 14 months of ever increasing and intense danger.
Leopold is caught up in the aftermath of the displacement of the Jews to the concentration camps.

United played seven matches in January and made an unbeaten start to 2013, winning five times in all competitions.
As well as leading the Barclays Premier League by seven points, Sir Alex's side are also safely through to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
It means there were a number of candidates for the ManUtd.com Player of the Month award and it was difficult to even leave some players off the five-man shortlist.
However, we feel these stars are most deserving of recognition for their efforts, starting with Robin van Persie. United's super striker scored five goals last month, including important strikes against Liverpool and Tottenham, and showed real authority and quality at Wigan. The ex-Arsenal attacker is not only the Reds' leading goalscorer but his set-pieces continue to cause havoc in opposing defences.
Danny Welbeck was nominated for our Man of the Match award four times in January, more than anybody else, and was particularly impressive in the success against Liverpool. Although he did not manage to find the net, his selfless work for the team and ability to make things happen from a wide position have caught the eye.
One man impossible to leave out was Ryan Giggs, who was clearly star performer in the two FA Cup wins against West Ham and Fulham. On each of his three starts, the other was at Wigan, he made the shortlist for the Man of the Match award and his solitary substitute appearance, at West Ham, saw him set up van Persie's dramatic equaliser with one of the passes of the season.
Phil Jones performed splendidly at the heart of defence, his preferred position, in the FA Cup victories and his sterling work in midfield at Tottenham tipped the balance in his favour to be included for our monthly prize.
Again proving his versatility, he started at right-back against Southampton before switching to a midfield role when Rafael came off the bench.
Completing our list is Patrice Evra, who may have been rested for the two West Ham ties but has been a model of consistency at left-back. Not only is he capable of bombing forward to link up with the attack but his presence at set-pieces this term has been a real bonus. After setting up both

Next Door to us in this new house was one of my classmates---Gauri.Both she and me had become buddies---our Parents knew each other too.Her family was an aristocratic one from the erstwhile border State of Kapurthala and her father was an ICS(Indian Civil Servant which later became I.A.S.)----an extremely honest and upright man.Gouri had been born late in their lives---and bothAunty and Uncle were much older than our Parents.
Funny thing was that both Gauri and I looked extremely alike---they called us the "Naughty" Twins in School.Both of us looked very angelic with "Butter wouldn't melt in our mouth" expressions---but actually we were little Devils in disguise!!Another school friend named Poonam and nicknamed "Neelu" lived down the Street---her father was a well qualified Doctor in the P.G.I .While Gauri was an only child,Neelu had a younger brother about Mikki's age---and our favourite pastime was terrorising our siblings into abject misery!!These 3 homes became our favourite haunts----it became the practice to eat Lunch in whichever home we happenned to be at the time---all 3 sets of Parents assured of the fact that their offspring was being well looked after!!Our most favourite haunt was Neelu's home---specially when Amma and Baaujee---her Grandparents visited.The old couple would tell us tales of their childhood---the People,the Customs and the Food----also the pre-Independence Era and of the fortitude with which everyone--from children to the Aged---took part in Processions and various Boycotts---it used to be very interesting and rivetting narratives---for both were great Raconteurs!!Today we've all lost touch---last heard Neelu lived in Kanpur and Gauri in South Africa----the last time we met was on Lotta's christening---the date was 3rd.September 1971!!
Those days Silver in India was very cheap---and we owned loads of Silver Ornaments---for these were considered a safe bet for Children----but otherwise fake!!!No self respecting woman would be seen wearing this "Fake" Stuff---the Real Stuff was Gold----heavy Gold!!It was the period of Muslim Social films---and we'd festoon ourselves with all our finery,drape our heads with "Dupattas" lent to us by Gauri's mother and play at being "Nawaab Zaadies" from aristocratic lineage!!Films were a rarity but the Posters stuck on the Walls and Pictures in the Newspaper fired our imaginations!!!Neelu's Baaujee belonged to Bareilly and had grown up in Lucknow---from him we learnt the proper Urdu pronunciation and speaking chaste Urdu as far as possible---all three of us became quite well versed in the Language!!
Around 1964 Gauri's parents started work on building their own Bungalow in Chandigarh.This was bang across the Road from our Government Bungaalows---in Sector 8!!Reading the Famous Five and Five Find Outers as well as The Secret Seven had left a lasting impression on our minds----we decided to quietly purloin sufficient props to build a tiny hut of our own in Gauri's Garden---in a spot hidden from view by a thick Hedge of sweet smelling Indian Jasmine--"Mogra" Shrubs!!
By now Daddy was allotted 2 new houses---and given a choice to pick any one.One was a truly huge one in Sector 16 itself---the other slightly smaller in Sector 7---near the Raj Bhavan.Mummy chose the latter---for the bigger one was way too big and had too many Doors opening on to the huge Garden---a worrisome task to ensure that each Door was secured each night----comparitively Sector 7 was safer she felt!!!So in late 1959 we left the home that had the maximum Memories for me and moved into the new house----strange but welcoming!!!Before I left I wrote in Chalk on every Door and Window in both English and Hindi---"this Home belongs to Komal---please love it as we did!!"
In the new home,the Servants Quarters were outside---detached completely from the Main house---Amma anyway slept with Mikki and I had my own room---since babyhood.The best part was the view from my Bedroom----the Himalayan Foothills---known as the Shivaliks, stretched horizontally across the stretch of the Windows---and these were to become my favourite Confidantes and Companions---till I left this house to get married.There was also a thick Creeper of "Chameli" variety of Jasmine trained on the Wall beside my Window---and the heady scent of the Flowers filled my Room when these were in full Bloom during the Summer and the Monsoons.There also was a tall Silver Oak standing arrow straight outside my Window----the beautiful contrast of it's Silvery Green Leaves and Old Gold Brown Bunches of Blooms thrusting against the deep Azure Autumn Sky---the Picture is burned into my Brain---it was so beautiful!!
Besides these two our Garden was filled with many other Varieties of Indian Jasmine Flowers---"Mogra","Hazaar Mogra","Raat Rani",as well as many varieties of Lilies and Roses.There were about 30 Mango Trees---wild ones as well as Cultured Brands like "Chausa","Langda" and "Dashehri"---a huge Margossa(Neem) Tree,A spreading Rain Tree and a beautiful Gulmohar Tree---which would burst into Flame every Summer!!
There were Peach,Guava, Cherry,Pear,Litchi,Fig and Luquaat Trees in the back Garden----for me it was huge,mysterious and beautiful Paradise---peopled by Fairie Folk,Leprechauns and Magic----a place where my imagination took wing!!!The sturdy branches of the Neem Tree became my favourite perch---I had found a beautiful broad Fork and here draped it with an old folded Mat called a "Durrie" to protect my backside from getting scratched---and from my shaded perch I was the Queen of everything I surveyed---much to Mummy's irritation and annoyance.A smaller fork to my left acted as a Bookshelf for my Books---holding the current Favourites---spending entire days of my Vacation in it's shady arms!! I was growing into a Tomboy---with Daddy's support and my arms and legs were tanned a dark brown and always bore the scars of various battles and skirmishes with Nature.
By now my sister Ritu had been born---and she was a placid baby---interested only in sleeping,feeding and gaining weight----wonderful Time Table to follow!!!Mikki was still sickly---even a simple Cold led to complications---and Mummy would be in and out of Hospital with her most of the time.Unfortunately Ritu caught an Encephalitis Bug one foggy day when she was a year old---and that washed out all her progress of the first year of her Life---she had to begin from scratch---all over again!!Thus I was the sturdiest of all 3 of us---hence was mostly left to my own devices!!Luckily because Ritu was otherwise a healthy child she recovered and regained her strength---Mikki was basically weak---so she could not take part in most of our escapades.
Both Ritu and I were quite close---and partners in some crimes!!!Mikki was a very slow eater---by the time we'd be done with our Meals she'd barely be halfway through hers.Now Mikki had this habit of finishing off the mandatory stuff first---and she would line up the choicest tit bits to eat last.Ritu and I would by then be stuffed to the Gills---but we loved to get a rise out of her.So we'd gesture towards her choicest Pieces and pretend that we were going to snatch them away---that would set Mikki whining in real earnest---and througgh a stuffy nose(she used to have a perennial Cold)--she'd yell out for Mummy---"Bubby dekho Komal aur Ritu mujhey khaaney nahin detey!!" meaning "Mummy see---Komal and Ritu won't let me eat"---by the time Mummy arrived post haste both of us would have made tracks in opposite directions---so apart from scolding us loudly the was very little that poor "Bubby" could do!!
Ritu loved animals and because she was very popular in the Neighbourhood---we were handed out an Alsatian Puppy she named "Pasha" a a tiny Skye Terrier female she named Cutie.The well being became my responsibility----because Ritu was too young and Mikki too weak---also since I was the oldest---I was supposed to lead by example!!
Mikki's entry changed our Life completely---I was given more freedom and left to my own devices while she took Centre Stage---both a Blessing and a Bane!!While the constant attention irked me the loss of it left me resentful and bewildered---and I began disliking the reason for it ---Mikki----with a passion!!However Amma managed to convince me that I didn't really dislike Mikki as much as I thought---and some of Mikki's antics too went a great way to help too---but her constant illness and the toll it took on us as a family---it was an extremely difficult phase in our lives.
By now I'd resumed School and while I'd reformed to an extent the germs of Rebellion still smouldered in my heart!!!Around this time there was a rumour of children being kidnapped---and because of this we were kept under strict surveillance.We'd just returned from Bombay and this was February 1958----the days were still short.There was a huge bungalow at about 10 minutes walk from our homes---an old retired couple lived there.The old man was a retired Army Colonel----and we all were frequent visitors to their home---still remember the evenings spent at their home very fondly.The old Unclejee had a projector and that was the Star attraction as far as we were concerned----Cartoons of Tom & Jerry as well as Laurel & Hardy were our fvourites and none of us minded the re-runs!!Besides Auntyjee would feed us piping hot Snacks and they'd play with---singing and dancing we'd all have a rollicking time!!
So on that particular we were all at a lose end and I suggested visiting Uncle and Aunty instead of playing in the chilly Air---we all--about 10 of us---headed that way---lured by the roaring Fire in their huge Stone Fire Place and visions of mugs of Hot Soup or better still Hot Cocoa steaming invitingly in front of our eyes!!We reached there and as usual forgot about our homes----enjoying ourselves with the Old Couple!!!There was only one hitch----nobody knew where we were and as it began getting dark---Panic took hold---everyone thought that the entire lot of us had been kidnapped!!All the men took to the Roads on the Cycles---calling our names at short intervals but to no avail!!This went on for 2 hours.By now one of us had become sleepy and wanted to go home---that's when we realised how late it was!!Unclejee got out his old Landmaster,loaded the lot of us in and drove us home.
The scene on our arrival home was straight out of a Bollywood Tragedy----mothers crying, fathers grim faced---wondering what to do next---when we reached there!!On our arrival all Hell broke loose---poor Unclejee got an earful of Rebukes---why couldn't they have sent their bearer to inform somebody that the children were with them???As for me---that was the first and last time in my life that Daddy hit me---I was sore,black and blue all over for a Week after----though both Mummy and Amma tried to sheild me from his wrath!!Finally ,repentant and bruised I cried myself to sleep that night----vowing never to do anything like this ever again!!
This taught me a lesson I never forgot----and each time after that I made sure of keeping Amma informed about my whereabouts---even if I was in the room across the passage!!By now the Nuns had begun teaching us the wrong and right paths to follow---and put the fear of Sinning into our hearts---Divine punishment was so horrific---I didn't want to go to Hell---so I became stuck to being a good girl most of the time!!Not just that Amma too had a lurid Poster depicting the Demons of Hell torturing hapless Sinning Souls---she used it unabashedly to drive home the Power of Divine Retribution and that added to my nightmares!!Mrs.Samuels became my Best Friend in School---she called me her "little angel" and it was her influence that encouraged me to take Books seriously----she told me that they'd be my best friends---undemanding and supportive!!How right she was!!
The World of Words opened up a new Vista---of People and Faraway places---and my thirst for reading grew manifold----I became voracious Reader!!I literally devoured Enid Blyton and A.A. Milne---and started my Pen Friendship with my Aazoba---whom I fondly nick named "Mr.Pinkwhistle" !! A whole world of Fairies ,Circuses,Gypsies and Adventure opened up in front of my eyes---and within two years of School I'd run through all the Books suitable for my age group in the School Library---and begun pestering the Nuns to either add new Books to the overflowing Cupboards--or allow me to read the "Higher" level Books!!They preferred the latter.
Thus by the age of 6, I graduated to reading Adventure Stories---the first being Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" followed by "Lorna Doone"!!These were followed by the entire gamut of the Books written by famous British and American Authors---and I began writing long Essays which would be put up on the Notice Board---thus gaining me early recognition as a Writer!!I also began writing Poetry---and when this was brought to Daddy's notice he began sending them to a Children's Newspaper called "The Junior Statesman"---published from Calcutta.This was the first time a Poem I wrote was published---and I was honoured by the Nuns in Morning Assembly at School!!!My interest in the World around me---specially Archeological and Historical Topics grew---and I became fascinated by the Egyptian,Sumerian ,Mesopotamian and Greek Civilizations.
By now I'd turned into a dreamy child---with her head in the Clouds---daydreaming most of the day.It is a miracle that I managed to pass!!!I hated Mathematics with a Passion---and couldn't get beyond passing marks in that subject!!!Never could understand that how my being able to do Fractions,Profit & Loss,Simple & Compound Interest Sums would help the World go round!!!It was only when both Algebra and Geometry came on the scene that my dismal performance perked up---for I just loved these two Branches of Math!!Even today I know the Pythagoras Theorum well----and have taught it to my daughters too when they sat for their Board Exams!!
By now a new Convent School---Carmel Convent---had opened in Chandigarh---and I was enrolled there.My first Class Teacher was Mrs.Samuels---who became my adored Mrs.Samuels and her positive influence began changing my rebellious ways.She herself was the mother of a large number of children---hence better equipped to understand and relate to my psyche.By now Mummy's preganancy was confirmed---and a decision was taken to shift us to Bombay till 2 months after the baby's birth.
This meant leaving Chandigarh for almost 9 months---and so since Amma was not coming to Bombay with us she thought of taking up a replacement job for 6 months.Her aunt was a nanny to another Family nearby----and since that Aunt was to undergo a hysterectomy---it would be ideal for Amma to fill in for her---and then visit her Village for the remaining 3 months to spend time with her father.Everything would have fallen into place as planned---but I kicked up a Tantrum--Amma was MINE and did not work for anyone else!!Maybe God too agreed with me----and Amma's father fell sick---so she rushed to the Village to nurse him---and we journeyed to Bombay!!
Bombay was Paradise for me----for I was the ultimate Despot here!!My Word was Law and I ruled----being my Aazoba's(Grandpa's) Darling I was at the top of the heap!!My maternal Grandparents lived in a Joint Family---at any given point of time no less than 25 people lived there.My mother's Siblings,Cousins,Aunts and Uncles---it was a huge Flat---filled with People,Love,Camarederie and Laughter!!!My Aazoba was a Konkani from Saawantwaadi---and Konkanis are generously large hearted people---very loving!!The Kitchen began functioning early in the morning---5 a.m.---and the Coal Fires would be lit.By 7.30 a.m. my Grand Uncle Dada Kaka and I would walk to the huge bustling Grant Road Market---choc-a-bloc with everything under the Sun.Our main aim was to buy the freshest catch---and Dada Kaka had his favourite Fisherfolk to get it from.All of them had seen Mummy as a child--and each one had a little something for me---a tiny Pomfret,a few Prawns or at times even a couple of Black Mud Crabs---with loving Instructions to eat it all by myself!!Those days Fish was bought and carried in semi circular Grass Baskets---plaited strips of Grass stitched together.While Dada carried a huge Basket,I carried a miniature Version of it---and it was in my little Basket that the Fisherfolk's bounty landed!!It took us an hour to tour the Market and pick up the Stuff---and by 8.30 a.m. a hot wholesome and fresh Breakfast would be waiting for us---with large glasses of Milk for me.
Dada would start getting ready for his office and by 9 a.m. his Lunch would be ready---it would be served hot in the Kitchen----where a long row of wooden planks called "Paat" were laid out---with a fourlegged Stool called "Chaurang" in front of each "Paat" to use as a Table.These were made of "Shisham" Wood with Silver Flowers nailed in in each corner----a sign of my Aazoba's aristocratic lineage.Each "Chaurang" would sport a Silver Pot or "Taambyaa" of Water with a Silver Glass and Silver Plates called"Thalis" and Silver Bowls called "Vaaties".Food was eaten by hand and no Cutlery was used.My Aaji (Grandma)personally served this first "Pangat" or "Sitting" ---ensuring that each one---School,College and Office going member of the Family left the home well fed and well primed to face the day ahead.By then the Lunch Tiffins would be ready too---and each one would leave the house armed with a well stuffed Tiffin to eat at Lunch!!The next round would be for those who stayed home----around Noon.
To me even today the smell of a Coal Fire brings back Memories---the Chandigarh Days have a diferent Scent---while the Bombay Days smell vastly different.The huge Stone built block of high ceilinged,wooden beamed huge Rooms of my Grandparents Flat held an undefinable scent---it was a mixture of Fresh Flowers,Silks, Books and Food---all mingled together to form a musty but inviting Smell---one which meant comfort and belonging for me!!Even today when I visit my Aunt who still lives there-----those days come rushing back---for the comforting Scent is still the same!!
My Aazoba was a rotund,short little man--just 5'6" tall with twinkling blue eyes,a ready smile and a shock of pure white hair---unbelievably good looking!!He was my Best Friend--privy to all my innermost thoughts---gently but firmly correcting my rebellious tendencies with suggestions----and I loved being with him.Since he had already retired he had plenty of Time for me---and kept me occupied by telling me Stories---the Topics ranged from Religion,History,Fairy Tales,Aesop's Fables,Jataka and Panchatantra Tales---asking me questions when I least expected---just to keep me alert.He'd discuss Newspaper Stories regarding scientific progress made by sending out Sputniks into the Universe---thus arousing my curiosity about the World.He also made me read certain Articles in the News Paper---and underline the words I didn't understand---teaching me to use the Dictionary to find out the Meanings!!
My 4th. birthday was celebrated in Bombay---Aazoba bought me a brand new Red Car---which I began peddaling furiously up and down the long Passage---causing a lot of disruption in the traffic there!!Aaji specially was most incensed---she just couldn't understand WHY I needed to drive that Car in the House---instead of the Park!!She was a huge hearted but sharp tongued woman---with a transclucent, extremely clear, fair skin,brown eyes and with masses of thick,long brown hair and slightly built.Very beautiful---all her children too were just as beautiful/handsome.Both were a well matched couple----extremely striking---and always sparring good naturedly!!When I was born and my Birth Alphabet was declared to be "K" Aazoba teased Aaji that I should be named after her----her name was Kamala----in the British fashion.She in turn retorted that in his old age he was on the look out for a 4th.wife(she was no.3)----because given names could only be passed on after the Death of the earlier person---according to Hindu Tradition!!!Atya struck a Golden Mean---and I was named "Komala"---thus settling the Debate satisfactorily!!!In later years I always got a rise out of her by telling her that she paled before my Aazoba---she'd retort that it was a congenital defect that I had Buttons instead of eyes---exactly like my beloved Aazoba!!!"That's why he married you Aaji---because he couldn't see you very clearly!!" I'd reply---annoying her further!!
Everything was going just fine till one morning it all changed---Mummy went to the Hospital---and my sister was born---a Blue Baby.Dr.Shirodkar(he was our Family Gynaecologist)put her in the Incubator and the Tests began----a shadow was cast over my Parents lives---because Mekhala(as Atya named her) or Mikki as we nick named her---would need specialised care for the first few years of her Life.My rule was over----and I was pushed into the background as this new creature took Centre Stage----I was forced to grow up---because Mikki was smaller and helpless---besides she was 4 years and72 days younger than me!!
Mummy's Operation prompted Daddy to ask my paternal Grandma Akka to come and stay with us.Now Akka was an enigma----eccentric and full of idiosycrasies----but Daddy adored her!!!It was highly amusing to see her towering sons reduced to jelly in front of her dimunitive(5' tall) figure.Widowed at the age of 35,she had brought up her younger 5 children singlehandedly.A woman of ironwill she made her place in the conservatively rigid Kolhapuri Society through sheer hard work.A woman who had lived a very protected life--she stepped out to collect all the dues of the Estate my Grandfather left---including collection of Grain from our Fields as well as paying the Taxes---she personally saw to each and every aspect of running the Estate.So when Daddy triumphantly announced the arrival of his mother---Mummy could not demur---and since what can't be cured has to be endured---she resigned herself to endure gracefully!!
Despite Mummy's ethereal Beauty and delicate Grace she was as strong as a horse---and she sailed through the Operation with ease.By the time she came home from Hospital,Akka was already ensconced and ruling the Roost.Daddy's younger brother,Shyamkaka, had escorted her from Kolhapur and stayed onwith us for a few days.Things were pretty smooth for 15 days after Mummy's homecoming---till an Earth Shaking Incident happened!!Pt.Nehru was to make an official Site Visit and an Official Dinner in his honour had been planned.According to the Doctor's advise,Mummy could attend the Dinner in keeping with Protocol----and exactly this became the bone of Contention with Akka!!! Both Daddy and Shyamkaka did their level best to make her understand but it was to no avail!!!If Devi (Mummy)went to the Dinner----she herself would leave the House that very instance!!Daddy couldn't bow to her Diktat---and by the time both my Parents returned from the Dinner---Akka and Shyamkaka were already at the Railway Station at Ambala---40 miles away!!!She landed 3 days later at Bombay and after giving Atya(her daughter) an earful of how stupid her neice(Mummy's mother and Sudhir's father were siblings)was---blah blah-blah etc.----all of which poor Atya listened to with bowed head.Akka returned to Kolhapur that very night----and that was that!!!However this was just the beginning of the Storm----a month or so later Mummy discovered that she was preganant for the second time---and she was over the Moon!!After my birth she'd been told that she'd never be able to conceive again and now that she had---she refused an Abortion---which was medically advised.Daddy tried to change her mind but she was adamant----and hence my sister Mikki(Mekhala) got the lease of life!!
For me apart from being a Pest,Life was going pretty well.At age 2 years and 6 months I decided I was old enough to read and write---and declared my intentions of learning to do so.In the wild hope of keeping out of mischief Mummy seized the opportunity and an old fashioned Teacher was hired for the purpose from the nearby Village----and a group of Friends of the same age arranged for-----just so that I wouldn't get distracted or bored studying alone!!So our Tuitions with "Masterjee" started.The man would arrive punctually at 2.30p.m.---eat Lunch and rest till 3.30 p.m. and then he'd take Class.Those days we'd use "Takhtaas" or Wooden Planks as Slates---these Planks would be covered with a layer of wet White Clay and then dried in the hot Sun.Ink Powder would be dissolved in Water to make Ink----this would be stored in Ink Pots and slender stems of Elephant Grass would be carved out to make Pens.Lines would be drawn on these Planks to help us to form the Alphabet in an orderly fashion.This entire excercise was repeated daily and I just loved the smell of the Clay so kept the lump on my bedside Table!!There would be thick woven Mats or "Durries" on the floor of the back Verandah and the shady Garden with it's gently whispering Breezes presented a perfect backdrop of Tranquility!
At precisely 3.30 p.m. we'd sit crosslegged on the "Durries" and start with first reciting then writing the Devanagri Script----used for both Hindi and Marathi.The Recitation was rhythmic---rising and falling cadences of Sound in total sync with each other!!This fellow carried a thin Cane and used it without discrimination or proportion on us---as well as he also had the annoying habit of pulling our ears at the slightest opportunity!!
Now Patience is a Virtue I sorely lack----and when complaints to both Mummy and Amma fell on deaf ears---"He is the Teacher---your Guru---next to God---and so must be given the same respect Bawaa---don't say anything against him---it will be a Sin!!!" was what Amma kept telling me---trying to placate meevery day!!The day the last Straw finally snapped dawned bright and clear----as usual Masterjee came ate,slept and snored and finally caught hold of my ear over a question I asked him.That did it!!!I picked up my handmade tiny but thick Kolhapuri chappal which had been placed on the ground next to my Mat----and before he knew what was happenning began landing thick pats on his back with it!!Pandemonium broke loose as he began running away from me-----shouting for somebody to deliver him from this "Bhootanee" and "Chdail" both She Devils---and me after him in hot pursuit---screeching like a Banshee at the top of my voice"Kaan kheencheyga? Maaregaa??Abhi mazaa chakhaatee hoon!!"This went for half an hour till finally our poor Ramu managed to nab me---kicking and spitting---still flailing away with my Chappal!!!He got quite a few hits too----I was very strong physically--even then!!
Needless to say that Mummy paid his Dues---she also paid quite a bit extra and he left----telling Mummy in his badly shaken,trembling voice that she'd given birth to a Beast--that I'd never come to any good----Vidya (Knowledge) would never come to me because I had so badly insulted it's Servant!!Somewhere though he must have had a soft spot for me----and that's why none of his Curses bore fruit----if I had ever met him a little later I'd have humbly touched his feet and asked for forgiveness---genuinely!!The whole Episode was a nine day wonder in our tiny Community.In India we rate our Teachers very highly----for Knowledge can't be bought or sold but has to be earned through sheer dedication and hard work---and being too young to know this I erred.But today the only thing that I can say is this one of my Exploits that I regret from the bottom of my heart----my Temper both then and now is still my worst fault!!!

Different than what Alton uses!
I purchased this based on watching Good Eats, however, this is NOT exactly like Alton's. The handle on this item does not curved down like Alton's; it extends straight out and therefore you cannot easily hold this and open the lid using the same hand so you can get a pinch of salt with the other hand. Alton's salt cellar (available at altonbrown.com) is an easy one hand operation that is exactly like Alton's Good Eats... you can also get the other color versions as well at this site. I don't know why this one is sold here instead of the correct Good Eat's salt cellar.
NOT the Salt Server Alton Brown uses
If you search the store by clicking on "Shop by Host" and click on Alton Brown's items, this salt server will come up. However, this is NOT the same one that Alton Brown uses on his show. This one has a very short, straight handle and it's virtually impossible to hold the server in one hand and flip the lid open/closed at the same time. You either have to flip the lip up and then pick the server up or use two hands. The one Alton Brown uses has a longer, curved handle so that you can hold it in your hand and flip the lip open/closed at the same time. If you're looking for a salt server, this is an ok item that's constructed well. But if you're looking for the one that works like the one Alton Brown uses on his show, you will be disappointed.
Salt Server Lid
Thought the size of this salt server is nice - not too big to sit on counter. BUT the lid would not close. There was a 1/4" gap opposite the hinge - gasket didn't seem to be the problem - looked as though the hinge wasn't right. M Ward

'SPOON' that is a joke
You folks think very highly of this salt server - your price for this is out of line. And you call that tiny stick a 'spoon'!!!!!!!!! I have never seen A. Broun use a 'spoon' this small. If I were him I would slap more than your wrist for showing in the picture a much larger spoon and shipping that thing you did! I was going to order a server for my sea salt! David Reese PS.

The original wasn't too bad, either.
This version of the salt server has one advantage over the older model in that it has a silicon seal on the lid. The older model did not. However, the original's handle was a better design in that it allowed a better grip due to a longer length and a pronounced bend. The new model gives a superior seal in humid conditions but, at the same time, a more precarious hold when flipping the lid. The spoon is not really needed if you know how to regulate a "pinch" of salt with your fingers. We tossed ours in a drawer.I recommend this product.

Love it!
I was looking for a salt box with a wooden top, thinking that was the only kind that would keep moisture out, but I couldn't find one at a decent price. This salt box is stainless steel and is gorgeous sitting next to my stainless stove. It keeps moisture out and offers a little spoon. I love it!I recommend this product.

Great Salt Server
I love this salt server. I have looked for a long time for a better way to keep my sea salt. Since it is moister than regular salt, it doesn't work to keep it in a shaker. This works great and it looks great on the table. It is sturdy, the top works great. I am really happy with it!I recommend this product.

Poor Quality
I was completely surprised at the quality as it was a total disappoitnment. I am also surprised that the Food Network is endorsing such a low quality product. The glass had two imperfections with large black specs in the glass. The metal lid was super thin and just not of that great of quality. All in all it was just flimsey. I don't believe it's the same salt server that Alton Brown uses. I do not recommend this product.

Looked for salt server in stores for years
I've been looking for a similar salt server for my husband for years. He loves to cook and when he started using kosher salt he needed a handy place to store small amounts. We watched Alton Brown's Good Eats and saw what he used. I started looking... years later it dawned on me that the Food Network might have it for sale. Wah Lah! It looks great, is very functional and not so large that I can't set it on the top of the range control panel (where the regular salt & pepper shaker sits) Thank you for providing this in your Food Network Store.I recommend this product.

Appears on Alton Brown's show
After many years of keeping our Kosher or sea salt buried in a cabinet, it is great to have it at arm's reach. The spoon is a little too small, so the typical use is to pinch a hunk of salt into meals during preparation. If the spoon is designed for table service, it's probably the right size. Anyhow, the item is working great. We love the hinged lid. Also, it was fun to notice the salt server a couple of times on the food network show hosted by Alton Brown.I recommend this product.

Q. I firmly believe in once saved always saved, and the verses that once led me to doubt it, for the most part, have been explained to me. However there is one verse that I still can't get my mind around, and that is Rev. 3:5. Now I know that we are not supposed to take one scripture and use it to disprove the many that say otherwise, yet since Rev 3 is talking to the churches, how do we explain that we have everlasting life if our names can be blotted out?
Still More On Marriage In Heaven
Q. I know the bible says we will neither marry nor be given in marriage in heaven, yet as soon as we get there we are going to the marriage supper of the lamb. I look at the universe and I believe we are the first of Gods creation, the beginning. I also believe that God will once again turn His creative power back to the universe and make the rest of the planets habitable for mankind. One of the greatest joys I have had in this life is my children. It does not seem right that only the Jews and Gentiles will be allowed to repopulate the Earth, yet the church will not be able to have any more children. What do you think?
Will We Always Be Physical Beings?
Q. I understand that man is created in God's image, meaning that man has an eternal spirit. Wouldn't that mean the angels were also created in God's image? What is the difference then between man and angels if, after temporarily inhabiting physical bodies, man then becomes a spirit being? Or does man become a physical being again inhabiting a physical place?
Concerned About Eternity
Q. Will we do creative things in eternity like art and building things or something we enjoyed from earth or will all of that cease to exist forever with us having no memory or desire of it? I can't stand the notion of all things being absorbed or losing the ability to be creative. That is a crappy view of eternity and for that reason I don't have hardly any belief at all. I believe creative endeavors and desires continue.
The Destiny Of Unbelievers
Q. I had a conversation the other day with a young man on the subject of our life span. I told him he would live forever as I would, but it would depend upon his acceptance or rejection of Christ as to where he would spend it. When he asked where I meant, I said either in Heaven or the Lake of Fire. He informed me that he had been to four different churches since he had moved here and they all said it would be separation from God. He said he was separated from God now and it did not bother him. And he is right. All the preachers I have heard in the last several years have described separation from God as the destiny for non Christians. Do you believe that unsaved ones will go to the Lake of Fire?
Preconditions For Salvation?
Q. In Matthew Chapter 5, what do verses 5:3, 5:9, 5:10 mean? They seem to contradict belief in the Son as the only requirement for salvation, ("blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs' is the kingdom of heaven" for example) but I know God's Word does not contradict, can you help explain?
If He Already Knew, Why Was He Sorry?
Q. Gen. 6:6 says, "And the Lord was sorry He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart." I am so perplexed by this statement. God, being omniscient, had fore-knowledge of everything. So why was He sorry He had made man knowing what they would do? Being a parent, I can understand the grief in His heart.
Why Wasn't She Healed?
Q. My aunt whom I loved sincerely passed away last Thursday after having suffered a stroke two years ago. She was a born again believer so I know without a doubt she is with the Lord. My question is that I prayed for healing and stood on the word by the prophet Isaiah: "With his stripes we are healed". I believed this for my aunt and I prayed without ceasing yet she still passed away. How do I reconcile this: Doesn't God heal as he is a healing God? Why was my aunt not healed?
Judgment, Rewards, And Crowns
Q. I lead a small group of high school freshmen boys. We recently studied faith vs works. One provides eternal life, the other determines the way you experience heaven. Am I on track here and can you provide guidance as I now tackle their obvious follow up question of "what will the judgment be about and will people experience heaven differently based on said judgement."
Will There Always Be a Heaven And An Earth?
Q. Thank you for your insight! Your website has been a blessing to me for a long time. There's something I do not understand. In my heart, I believe heaven and earth are eternal. Am I wrong? What did Jesus mean in Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31, and Luke 21:33 when He said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." It is also mentioned in 2 Peter 3:10.

So how does a one-off "bad guy" character with no depth end up being one of the viewers' favorite people?

Broad City is a web series starring UCB alum, Abbi Jacobson, and Ilana Glazer. It is currently in development with FX. (Abbi, and Ilana will share the Executive Producer credit with none other than Amy Poehler.) A few weeks ago, we caught up with them to talk about everything from Jewnicorn to blog-to-book deals.
Last week, Jay-Z and Beyoncé welcomed their first daughter into the world. On January 7th, Beyoncé Knowles gave birth to Blue Ivy Carter, proving one thing and one thing for sure. I really need to get famous.
Do you ever wonder what technology we're not going to understand when we become our parents age? Like, are our kids going to be coming home with cell phones the size of pennies that we won't know how to operate? God, not getting "it" is sort of my worst fear. Watch me type "dad" when I'm 56 and too tired to make actual sense.
