Outpourings of flawless poetry form the supreme truth that is brought to
perfection through the reality of the poet.
[Parthayana 1.1.]
Absorbed in meditation, I find harmony in the innermost kernel of my being,
by seeking unity with the supreme beauty of the Lotus of Non-duality,
And give it visible form in a poem, arranging it in lines, its essence the
grooves of my writing board, as I build my temple of tendrils of verse.
With these words, an early 18th century Balinese poet began his epic poem, Parthayana (`The Journeying of Partha'), by signalling his desire to worship the god of love and aesthetic beauty through the writing of a kakawin poem - his temple of words. This anonymous poet, employed in the service of the ruler of the kingdom of Klungkung, was heir to a literary tradition that stretched back as far as 9th century Java and beyond that to ancient India. Long after his demise, these traditions continued to be a vital part of Balinese intellectual and creative activity. They have remained so until the present.
Bali's rich literary heritage, comprising many styles and genres, is little known outside Bali. It ranges from prose works, grand epics and romances in verse, to philosophical and didactic treatises, genealogical and historical works, liturgical texts and specialist manuals, as well as a vast body of specialist knowledge dealing with metaphysics, religious practice, magic and esoteric lore.
It is written in a variety of languages - including Old Javanese, Middle Javanese, Literary Balinese, Modern Balinese and Indonesian. All of these texts and languages continue to play a role in Balinese artistic and ritual life. Although new genres have arisen over the centuries, older ones have not been displaced. Instead, modern prose and verse forms that owe more to the western literary canon than to Balinese notions have been added to the repertoire. Even the vast social and political upheavals of the 20th century that have seen Bali transformed from a realm of independent kingdoms, incorporated briefly into the Dutch colonial empire and become part of the modern nation state, have failed to repress the vitality of Balinese traditions. The enduring nature of this literary heritage owes much to the fact that it is so intimately bound up with Balinese ritual and religious practice and the construction of Balinese identity. Here it is not possible to deal with all this variety. Rather this essay will focus on the literature known in Bali as kawi literature, the literature that best symbolises both the continuity and dynamic nature of Balinese aesthetic responses.
Literally, kawi means poetic language, although certain prose works are also included in this category. Kawi encompasses three main genres - parwa, koka win and kidung - all of which have their origins in the pre-Islamic Hinduised kingdoms of Central and East Java. Balinese culture is closely linked with that of the neighboring island of Java, and this relationship is an essential component of Balinese literary development. From at least the tenth century, the Balinese were intimately acquainted with Javanese literary production and it was in Bali that most of the pre-Islamic Javanese literary record was preserved. Balinese ideas of the aesthetic therefore developed in parallel with those of Java.
Crucial to the evolution of Javanese and Balinese literary styles, was the spread of Indian civilisation that swept through the islands of the Indonesian archipelago from about the 5th century A.D. In Java, this Indian influence penetrated deeply into all aspects of religious, political and cultural life, and particularly into literary practices. Sanskrit literature provided Javanese and Balinese writers with the heroes and plots for their poems and stories and the moral and social universe in which they were set. Most were derived from the great Indian epics, the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The oldest extant Old Javanese literary work is the Old Javanese Ramayana, the Javanese kakawin version of the Sanskrit epic relating the story of Rama and Sita. It dates from the late 9th or early 10th century, and suggests a long prior period of literary development in Java of which no further trace remains.
For centuries, Bali's close political and cultural ties with Java ensured a shared cultural and religious world view. Recent archaeological findings suggest that Indian culture may have initially reached Bali independently several centuries before the earliest traces are found elsewhere in the Indonesian archipelago, perhaps as early as the 1st or 2nd century A.D. On the whole, however, knowledge of Indian traditions in Bali appears to have been mediated through the Javanese courts and religious foundations. Close political and dynastic links between the Balinese and East Javanese rulers began in the 10th century, at which time the chancery language of Balinese inscriptions which hitherto had been Old Balinese, changed to Old Javanese. These links which continued, sometimes intermittently, until at least the end of the 15th century, may only have developed fully during the Majapahit period in the 14th century. Both Javanese and Balinese historical traditions record that, following the conquest of Bali by the famous prime minister of Majapahit in 1343, Bali became an integral part of the Javanese empire. During Majapahit's heyday, the Balinese were said `to conform to all the customs of Java' (Nagarakrtagama 79.3), and the earliest European accounts also hint at close connections between the two neighbouring islands. Javanese and Balinese sources point to a particularly close relationship in religious matters, with the free interchange of religious officials between the two islands and the foundation of religious establishments by Javanese priests and clerics throughout Bali. The historical record has left us with little knowledge of the actual course of events, but the textual record attests to the assimilation of Bali into the Hindu-Javanese-Balinese cultural and literary world.
In later times, particularly from the 18th century onward, links to Java, particularly Majapahit Java, formed the cornerstone of Balinese identity. The majority of Balinese nobility traced their origins to the conquering Javanese from Majapahit in 1343. Balinese courts were modelled on the Majapahit court, and all aspects of Javanese high culture were equally part of the Balinese world. This included both the preservation of this shared Javanese literary heritage and the continuing evolution of these traditions, which in Java itself were gradually replaced by new, Islamic-influenced thought. In Bali, not only were the Old Javanese texts preserved and studied, but they, and the literary genres to which they belonged, were also given new life through an ongoing creative process that saw the writing of new works. Literary practice in Bali owed much to the continued study of Javanese classics, which served Balinese authors as `text-books' - an interest that has continued right up to the present.
With the exception of the Old Javanese Ramayana mentioned above, the Javanese literary corpus dates only from the period after the centre of political power shifted from central to East Java in about 930. The earliest works that survive are the Old Javanese prose summaries (parwa) of several of the books of the Sanskrit Mahabharata written in the late 10th century. It was to these prose summaries, particularly to the first book of the Mahabharata, the Adiparwa, that Balinese poets such as the author of the Parthayana, turned for inspiration in the 18th and 19th centuries. The majority of the surviving Javanese literary works, however, are kakawin. Kakawin are long epic poems written in verse according to set numbers of syllables per line in metrical patterns of long and short syllables that are based on Sanskrit rules of prosody. The beginnings of the wave of Indianisation in the Indonesian archipelago in the 5th century coincided with the flourishing of Sanskrit lyrical poetry, and it is probably no coincidence that it was the epic poem modelled on the classical Sanskriit kavya that was to become the preeminent Javanese and Balinese literary form. Indebted though they were to Sanskrit literature, Javanese and later Balinese kakawin poets did not blindly follow their Indian models. Although the names of the heroes and places were Sanskrit, the poems were set in the poets' own landscapes. As such they are a rich source for the social and cultural history of Balinese and Javanese court society.
The world of the kakawin is one populated with gods, heroes and demons where the affairs of the human, the divine and the demonic intersect. The vast majority of kakawin are tied to the Mahabharata cycle, particularly the adventures of the five Pandawa brothers, Yudhisthira, Bhima, Arjuna and the twins Sahadewa and Nakula, and their battle against their cousins the Korawa. The main purpose of kakawin poetry was to capture in verse the beauty of the natural world. By losing themselves in the rapturous contemplation of beauty, poets also hoped to achieve unity with the god to whom they devoted their work. Poets strove to depict in the finest poetic language the beauties of nature world, and kakawin abound with evocative descriptions of the Javanese and Balinese landscape.
The main thematic concerns of kakawin are love and war. In kakawin imagery, nature is intimately tied with feminine beauty, and poets were equally concerned with the finer feelings of love and romance between heroic princes and their beautiful women. Poignant scenes of loss, separation and longing fill stanza after stanza of all kakawin, although kakawin love is often more sensuous than romantic and earlier generations of Dutch translators, themselves products of their own time, considered the erotic passages to be improper, later interpolations and often left them untranslated.
Juxtaposed to this social realm was that of the battle-field, where heroes could prove their worth, by defeating their enemies and protecting the world from harm. Long, blow by blow descriptions of horrendous battles are incorporated into the poems. Over the nearly 1000 years of its development, kakawin literature remained centred on these themes. The 18th century Parthayana displays the same poetic and thematic concerns as any of its Javanese counterparts. Perhaps even more significantly than the aesthetics and stories themselves, kakawin also contain many didactic and philosophical passages that have ensured their relevance to generations of Balinese over many centuries. Even today the wisdom they contain continues to be important to many Balinese.
The second kawi poetic genre, the kidung, deals with quite different subject matter. Kidung are concerned not with Indian stories and heroes, but with indigenous heroes, and are centred in the pre-Islamic Hindu-Javanese kingdoms. Many kidung relate historical events, others are concerned with the exploits of the hero Panji, as he wanders Java seeking a bride and his rightful place as ruler. Kidung are written in the language most commonly referred to as Middle Javanese, in indigenous Javanese and Balinese metres that are based on a fixed number of syllables and a fixed final vowel in each line. Most extant kidung were probably written in Bali, although the genre is apparently of Javanese origin, and Panji stories spread from Java through Southeast Asia to Malaysia, Thailand and Cambodia as well as Bali. The multi-centred polity in which Panji acts was no doubt closer to the Balinese reality than to the Indian ideals of divine kingship that pervade kakawin. Nevertheless, the world of the kidung is also the world of the court.
European interest in the study of Javanese and Balinese literature dates from the early 19th century with the publication in 1817 of an extract from the 12th century Bharatayuddha (`War of the Bharatas') in Thomas Stamford Raffles' History of Java. Kakawin studies, however, soon became the provenance of generations of Dutch scholars whose interest lay mainly in the classics from Java and who saw Bali largely as a museum of a more ancient Javanese culture and preserver of its cultural heritage. But Javanese kakawin make up only a handful of the 100 or more known works, and in the process of this search for antiquity, much of the vitality of the literary traditions themselves was lost, and the Balinese contribution largely forgotten. Nevertheless, even the Balinese themselves take little interest in their own kakawin. In 20th century Bali, the most revered works are the still the Javanese `classics' such as the Ramayana and the 11th century Arjunawiwaha, which tells of Arjuna's marriage to the heavenly nymphs, and is considered to be one of the finest examples of kakawin literature. Kidung remain largely unstudied.
In Bali, as in many parts of Southeast Asia, the principal writing material was the palm leaf or lontar. The lontar tradition still thrives in Bali, although much of it is now aimed at the tourist market. On the specially dried and treated leaves of the tal tree, the letters are carved with a sharp knife, then rubbed with a charcoal dye to make them stand out against the leaves. Although paper was apparently known in Bali, palm leaves were used for both lengthy creative works and day to day administration. It is probable that palm leaves were in use in Bali from the time of the earliest written records. One 11th century inscription from the village of Julah in north Bali, for example, explicitly states that the villagers wished to have their charter transferred from palm leaf to copper inscription in order to preserve it for posterity.
Curiously, there is no mention of palm leaves in the literary works. In the texts, the authors speak of their writing board (karas) and stylus (tanab), the former apparently large enough to afford an unfortunate 12th century poet some protection from the blows delivered by his patron incensed at the poor quality of his poetic efforts. The petals of the pandanus (pudak) scratched with a sharpened finger nail also provided a readily available yet easily disposable material for quick messages and billets-doux sent secretly via maid servants to arrange a lovers' rendezvous. Occasionally messages were written on the panels of pavilions and could lead to misunderstandings. The 14th century kakawin, The Tale of Sutasoma, for example, records the story of an ill-fated queen who came by chance upon a delightful love poem written on the walls of a pavilion and copied it down. When her husband found the copy, he accused her of taking a lover. Although she denied any wrong-doing, when she took him to the pavilion to see for himself, the rain had washed away the text. The poor queen was repudiated and the king stormed off to seek death in battle.
That so many literary works have survived the hazardous process of preservation is somewhat surprising. In the tropical climate of Bali, no lontar manuscript could be expected to last more than a couple of hundred years, so that new copies had to be repeatedly made from the old. And many have survived the journey down through the centuries - not only in single autographs but in multiple copies. For the works written in pre-Islamic Java, this represents a considerable investment in time and labor, and is indicative of a value that extends far beyond the utilitarian.
What factors induced generation after generation of Balinese scribes and copyists to continue the laborious task of preservation? The answer is probably to be sought in the reverence with which Balinese esteem not only the content of the texts, but the texts themselves as artefacts. What evidence there is comes largely from more recent Balinese sources, going back little further than the 18th century, which marks the limits of the textual record, but it is probably not too far-fetched to assume that similar practices and functions had motivated earlier Javanese and Balinese poets and scribes.
We have already seen that in writing their poems, Balinese poets were engaged in the practice of a poetic yoga, in which the creative process was also an act of worship. Moreover, the texts themselves wore and are valued highly, the very letters on the palm leaves are associated with the practice of the poetic yoga hinted at in the introduction to the Parthayana. Letters have divine origin, are sacred and magically powerful, and can be killed if improperly or carelessly handled. In this way, the text as artefact and the text as repository of knowledge combine to create a sacred object. On the anniversary (odalan) of the goddess of learning, Saraswati held once in each Balinese year of 210 days, a special ceremony is held when all lontar are taken out and blessed.
Crucial to the production and preservation of manuscripts was the relationship between poet and patron. Poets appear to have been members of the court, perhaps acting as scribes and clerks, and were reliant on royal patrons for their physical and material well being. Nearly all the Javanese kakawin and a considerable number of Balinese ones are offered in homage not only to the poet's personal tutelary deity, but at the secular level also to a royal patron. The surviving Javanese kakawin, all of which are dedicated to a ruling king, must have enjoyed a special status amongst the many hundreds that would have been written over the period of many centuries. Kakawin writing in particular seems to have been closely associated with the political domain. It seems likely that many were allegorical works in which the all too human Javanese or Balinese rulers were equated with the gods and heroes of Hindu tradition and their deeds linked to their formidable exploits. These allegorical kakawin may later have been incorporated into the physical symbols of royal power, becoming sacred royal heirlooms (pusaka) which, along with royal kris and other weapons, were then passed down from generation to generation. Several 18th century Balinese works specifically state that they are written to serve a ruler as gifts of homage to ensure the victory of the poet's patron over his enemies.
On the other hand, a much wider dissemination of the texts in Bali is indicated by the sheer number of surviving copies of most Javanese and Balinese works. It seems probable that religious officials may have played a dominant role in the spread of literary works. Even in Majapahit times, priests and other religious officials travelled freely between the two islands. With them went the texts they needed, and which encompassed their ideological and religious world-view. In contemporary Bali, brahmana (priestly) and noble households often have extensive libraries of 1ontar manuscripts. Although much literary activity probably took place in the palaces and priestly households, literacy in Bali was not restricted to these groups. Texts circulated through all levels of society, and both men and women were involved in the copying of texts. Many texts contained the esoteric knowledge required by priests and traditional healers and were not to be disseminated to the uninitiated. Others, particularly kakawin and kidung, were allowed wider circulation since they provided moral and strategic guidance to rulers and their subjects, and were the source of decision making in matters of policy and judicial practice. Even the texts that seem to be mere stories were used to guide the social relationships of Balinese and moderate their interactions.
There are undoubtedly complex reasons for the writing and preservation of texts. Some clues are to be found in Balinese textual record, particularly in the opening and closing stanzas of the poems themselves and the brief commemorative notes that are frequently attached to copies of manuscripts. The latter not only indicate the time and place of copying, but also sometimes a little information concerning the reasons that the scribe might wish to copy a text. Most of these sources date from the 18th and 19th centuries. What is clear is that important moments in the life of the state or the individual, both good and ill-fortune, were commemorated through textual activity. Sometimes this memorial involved creative activity - the composition of a completely new work, sometimes it lay in making a new copy of an old work. For example, the Parthayana kakawin quoted above which describes the pilgrimage and marriages of the Mahabharata hero Arjuna, was composed to celebrate a pilgrimage made to Java by the Balinese ruler of Klungkung in 1729-30.
The conquest of the neighboring island of Lombok by the eastern Balinese kingdom of Karangasem in 1740 was also accompanied by the recopying of a number of Javanese classical texts that encapsulated Balinese religious thought and the royal culture that derived ultimately from Majapahit Java. From that time, the Lombok kingdoms formed part of the Balinese world, and, in much the same way as Bali had in earlier times become more Javanese than Java, became flourishing centres of religious and literary life. Over a century later, in 1854, another journey was celebrated in kakawin form with the same story as the Parthayana. In an historical twist, this time it was the departure of the Lombok crown princes to rule over their former overlords in Karangasem, recently defeated by Dutch military power, that was given textual form in both a new kakawin, the Khandawawanadahana (`The Burning of the Khandawa Forest'), and a new copy of the 14th century Javanese kakawin Arjunawijaya (`Arjuna's Victory'). Resettlement was also marked textually, when the last ruler of Lombok commissioned new copies of two didactic treatises in 1877-8 to commemorate the building of his new palace at Cakranagara.
The copying of other texts commemorated both military victories and defeats. A copy of the kidung Wangbang Wideya was made in 1765 after the defeat of the northern kingdom of Buleleng by Karangasem. Similarly, the absorption of the minor royal house of Pagesengan in Lombok into Kadiri in 1804, and the war between Gianyar and Bangli in 1844 were also noted in texts. At the more personal level, rites of passage such as the royal cremation ceremonies in Lombok in 1877, were occasions for new texts. The kidung Smarawijaya (`The Victory of the God of Love') was copied in 1843 by a woman whose husband was travelling in Bali, as she sat by the bedside of her dying child. The salutary power of textual activity continued into the 20th century. Bali's most renowned 20th century poet and scribe, Ida Pedanda Made Sidemen, copied a number of medical texts (usada) during the smallpox epidemic of 1949-50, to which his own grandson fell victim. Pedanda Made also noted the arrival of the Japanese in 1942, the eruption of Mount Agung in 1963 and the killings of the coup of 1965, with the writing and copying of texts.
The temples of words created in homage by Javanese and Balinese poets for over 1000 years have proved more resilient than many a more conventional architectural monument. The traditional literature of Bali remains a dynamic and vital one. Kawi literature continues to provide the narrative base for much of Bali's performing and visual arts - dance, drama, shadow puppets and painting. Texts are still sung and their meaning debated and interpreted in discussion groups throughout Bali. Excerpts from the kakawin and kidung are incorporated into religious rites and ceremonies. The teachings they contain have remained relevant, and in the 1990s as the Balinese Hindu religion, at least at the official level, moves increasingly towards orthodox Hindu beliefs, the world view encapsulated in the literary heritage continues to be accorded a place.

I had lipo of U/L abs, flanks, bra line and abdominal skin excision 5 days ago via tumescent. I weighed 140 the am of surgery, today I weigh 152. I expected a few pounds fluctuation but I am tremendously swollen. Is a weight gain of 10 lbs or so typical ? If so, when can I start to feel some relief/ see a difference in the swelling ? I can't fit into anything pre op at all.
Normal to Gain Weight After Tumescent Lipo? (photo)
Doctor Answers (5)
There will be weight gain following liposuction temporarily due to retention of fluid and swelling. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
Web reference: http://www.hughesplasticsurgery.com/Liposuction.php
What a great question and common concern. I am repeatedly asked how much weight I expect my patients to lose with liposuction and they usually seem appalled when I answer, "none." Liposuction is NOT a weight loss tool. It is a great way to permanently remove stubborn fat stores, but it does not typically result in significant weight loss. The weight gain you are seeing is likely "water weight" and will go away over the upcoming weeks. During liposuction you receive intravenous fluid. Also, tumescent fluid is injected into the treatment areas by your surgeon. Additionally, your body responds to the surgery with inflammation and swelling. Elevate the swollen areas above your heart as much as possible - this uses gravity to enhance drainage. Talk to your surgeon about getting an appropriate sized compression garment - this is an invaluable tool to deal with post-operative swelling. At about 2 weeks post-op, some plastic surgeons recommend lymphatic massage to encourage swelling to subside, but definitely speak to your plastic surgeon first. Be encouraged, this is a common post-operative problem and is generally short-lived.
Web reference: http://www.advancedplasticsurgerysolutions.com/services/body/liposuction/
You weigh more now due to increased water in your body for several reasons:
1) Your surgeon injected many liters of tumescent fluid into the liposuctioned areas which hasn't gone away yet
2) The anesthesiologist gave you lots of fluids to keep you healthy during the operation.
3) The body normally responds to injury/surgery with inflammation and swelling in the area of injury/surgery so the operative sites have extra fluid.
4) The body has a stress response to surgery which retains water throughout the entire body
Your weight will return to normal in next few weeks. The dramatic noticeable swelling will be gone within a couple weeks while resudual minor swelling will take several months to go away.

It is not unusual to note a weight gain of several pounds in the first few days following a tumescent liposuction surgery. During this type of surgery, salt water is injected into the subcutaneous fat and, in most cases, patients are given a significant amount of fluid via intravenous catheter. It may take several weeks for your body to loss this extra fluid weight. Check back with your surgeon, but wearing a compression garment and watching your salt intake can help speed the process. Best wishes.
Web reference: http://www.VincentLeporeMD.com
Thank you for the question and pictures.
Some weight gain after any type of surgery is normal. Our bodies tend to hold onto fluid ( fluid retention) when they are stressed. You will find that this fluid will mobilize in the near future and your weight will return to normal.
I hope this helps.

I will probably never get rich from photography, or even make a decent living from it, but at least I will have left images which might just be of of interest to someone after I have gone!

The owner, Jeff Parker, bought this waterfront property in Lake Oswego, Ore., for $800,000 in 2002, according to public records. He said he spent roughly $10 million to build this more than 13,400-square-foot home with a number of amenities—including indoor boat lifts and a tiny 'island' that juts out from the property. Carla and Mel Bigelow
1 of 11
Mr. Parker, a 58-year-old builder and real-estate developer, said one of the main reasons he bought the property was the unique land mass about 200 feet from the shore. He decided he could turn the roughly 60-foot-wide area into a private island of sorts. 'You're standing on the middle of the lake' he says about the vistas from the site, where he has built a fire pit and a gazebo. Chad Beecroft

The waterfront side of the estate also features a spa and a saltwater infinity-edge pool, which creates the illusion of spilling into the lake. The backyard is supported by several steel and concrete pilings and includes a grassy area for lounging and sports. The facade is made of a Columbia River basalt stone from the Northwest, and the eaves and window frames are clad with copper, he said. Carla and Mel Bigelow

The ceilings rise up roughly 26 feet in the great room and feature nearly floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water. Flooring throughout the home has radiant heating and there are a total of eight fireplaces. Carla and Mel Bigelow

NEW YORK (JTA) — The securities fraud of Bernard Madoff has rocked the Jewish nonprofit world — and the worst may be yet to come. Madoff, the founder of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, was arrested Dec. 11 after admitting to his board that a hedge fund he ran was essentially a $50 billion Ponzi scheme. At least two foundations have been forced to close because they had invested their funds with Madoff. The Robert I. Lappin Foundation in Salem, Mass., announced Dec. 12 that it would shut down after losing $8 million — all of its money. And the Chais Family Foundation, which gives out some $12.5 million each year to Jewish causes in Israel, the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, announced its closing Dec. 14. At least one nonprofit is calling out for help in the wake of Madoff's collapse. The Gift of Life Foundation, a Jewish bone marrow registry that relied heavily on Madoff as a benefactor, announced on its Web site Sunday that it would immediately need to raise $1.8 million to make up for recent losses. Sources close to Yeshiva University, where Madoff served as treasurer of the board of trustees and board chairman of the university's Sy Syms School of Business until he resigned last week, said the school lost $110 million. Similarly, the Hadassah women's Zionist organization announced Wednesday it had lost $90 million. Just as the reverberations of the subprime mortgage collapse are still seen as contributing to the nation's wider economic meltdown, philanthropic insiders say the fallout from Madoff's scheme could be even greater. The insiders note that Madoff and others heavily invested in his fraudulent fund were major supporters of a plethora of nonprofit organizations, served on their boards, or advised those organizations on how to invest their money — in some cases placing large sums of the groups' capital in Madoff's hands. Reflecting this sense that the full extent of the damage is still unclear, the executive vice president and CEO of the UJA-Federation of New York said that even though its endowments were not exposed, the organization still could be hurt if donors lost money in the scheme. "We do not yet know the full extent of the losses that supporters of UJA-Federation and other Jewish institutions have had," John Ruskay said. "But we have already heard that many major institutions had substantial funds invested, as did foundations. Already in the context of a very challenging economic environment this will present another significant difficulty. We don't know yet the extent of the wreckage." Reports are trickling out in the national media about prominent businessmen from across the country who lost money in Madoff's scheme. New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon, GMAC Financial Services chairman J. Ezra Merkin, and former Philadelphia Eagles owner Norman Braman all were reported to have taken significant hits due to their dealings with Madoff, who reportedly would not accept any investment in his fund below $10 million. Reports have surfaced also that media magnate Mortimer Zuckerman was significantly hurt by investing with Madoff. In Los Angeles, the Jewish Community Foundation's $238 million Common Investment Pool lost $18 million it had invested with Madoff, according to a letter sent out by the foundation. Keith Krivitsky, the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle's vice president of the Center for Jewih Philanthropy, said he was certain that local organizations were not directly affected by the scheme. Among other Jewish institutions and foundations believed to be hit by the Madoff scandal: The American Jewish Congress, the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Steven Spielberg's Wunderkinder Foundation, Elie Wiesel's Foundation for Humanity and Carl Shapiro's charitable foundation. An official at one major Jewish foundation told JTA that it had been advised to invest with Madoff, but decided against it after concluding that his return-on-investment forecasts seemed too good to be true. Certainly the extent of the damage to the philanthropic world could become clearer as details emerge in coming days and weeks of just who was invested with Madoff. One philanthropic official said there is a lesson to be learned here for the philanthropy world, where Jewish businessmen and philanthropists directed their own private funds and the funds of institutions that they help oversee toward Madoff. "What really emerges out of this," said Jeffrey Solomon, the president of the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, is that "people sometimes forget to conduct the due diligence when dealing with others with social prominence — and especially in the hedge-fund area where people think you have to be really smart to be in hedge funds." Yeshiva University issued a statement via e-mail to JTA on Sunday. "We are shocked at this revelation," the university said. "Bernard Madoff has tendered his resignation from all positions affiliated with the university and involvement with the university. Our lawyers and accountants are investigating all aspects of his relationship to Yeshiva University. We reserve our comments until we complete our investigation."

Comment: Re:isn't it used on violent prisoners? (Score 2) 326
I found the book "In the Belly of the Beast" very enlightening on solitary confinement.
One impression one gets from it is that given sufficient time in prison, many initially sane people may end up suffering from mental illness. At which point they become all the more "eligible" to solitary confinement.

Trixie Hamster Napper We bought our little hamster a couple of months ago as a present for our little one who wanted more from a pet than just goldfish (even though she has not had them long either!). Being a 'real pet' as my little one terms it, she wanted all the special things to decorate the cage and make the hamster happy. We came across this hamster napper for £2.75 on Amazon and, although we did not think it necessary, as the price was a decent one, we gave in to our little one and bought it. We had already bought the hamster a house, though her cage is three levels high and my little one insisted that she needed more 'furniture'. I was not sure ... Read the complete review

I am the proud owner of a ten month old black Syrian hamster named Chibi, who occasionally I feel the desire to spoil with silly treats, toys and equipment for his cage. I first spotted the Trixie Hamster Napper whilst browsing on the Pets At Home website. I wanted something that would give Chibi a bit more fun, and this product seemed a perfect new addition to his cage. The bed set me back £3, which is quite expensive, especially considering, as I say in more detail later, it was pretty useless to my pet. I was drawn to it by the cute looking picture of a hamster cosily snuggled up in his hamster napper. I had visions of my little Chibi (not that he is ... Read the complete review

Just before Christmas I went on a 2 day field trip with university leaving Lennon, my hamster, with my boyfriend. He loves the little bugger and I knew that he would spoil him with loads of treats. Half expecting to come home to a severely obese hamster I was positively surprised that the treat bag was still almost full. However, I nearly had a heart attack once I saw Lennon's cage - my boyfriend apparently went a bit crazy in a pet store and bought more hamster cages, add-ons and toys than you can image. His excuse was that it was Christmas and that Lennon needed presents as well. I was all in favour for presents but I had some snacks in mind and not stuff worth the ... Read the complete review

My daughter talked me into buying the Trixie Hamster Napper for her pet hamster, who she has named "little fella". He is a roborovski hamster, the smallest bread of dwarf hamsters. We bought this from our local pet shop, we paid £4.50 for it. I feel it was a good price to pay and was not bothered if he liked it or not as it was cheap enough. The napper is a round shape with padding with a shallow dip where your hamster sits or sleeps. The outer material is blue in colour, soft nylon like material. The inner material is very soft and fluffy for extra warmth. Size- 16.5cm width all way around the circle. This is not ... Read the complete review

Work Great!

Comments about Sorel Tofino Winter Boots - Women's:
These boots work great! I've used them for snowshoeing and hiking in cold weather/snow, and they've stayed dry the whole time. They rub a tiny bit around the ankle, but nothing too big deal. I imagine as they get more broken in, this won't be an issue at all. Super cute style as well, and the clearance sale price was very helpful.

I would not buy the shoes again
By JP Yeh
from Santa Clara, CA
I read the review and it seemed it's very warm. So, I did not plan to return the shoes. It's too narrow and my feet was hurt even though I am slim. I just cannot wait to take it off after a long day in the ski resort.

Decent boots but not that warm
By world travel hiker
from Boston, MA
About Me Avid Adventurer
I bought these boots at the end of the season to replace a pair (from another brand) that had held up 5 years. I like the style of the boot and they are incredibly lightweight. They definitely run on the narrow side. I am between a 9.5 and a 10 in most shoes and bought these in a 9.5. They would slip in the heels if any bigger but are a bit narrow. I have worn them in snow 4 or 5 times and find they don't keep my feet that warm. I can't tell if they leak a little or if I am just getting used to the thinner material (old boots were shearling-lined) but the light weight of them makes them worth keeping
Great Boot!
By GreenerGirl
from PNW
These are great boots! Outside in the cold and/or rain these boots are great! They keep my feet super warm. I gave them a 4 out of 5 due to the traction indoors-if your feet are wet and you enter onto a smooth floor it is a bit slippery, just need to be a bit careful! These do the job very well even adding a bit of style to leggings and skirts! A good buy!
Great Street Boot
By enjeanieer
from Kansas City, MO
I have been wearing these boots for about a month, including during and after 2 - 10" inch snowstorms in a row hit our city. They worked great for shoveling and for exploring in calf deep snow! Also work well for around town errands and to and from work because I never have to worry about sloshing through the melting mess of snow because I know my feet will stay dry. I have also gotten several compliments on how stylish they look. My only complaint is that even though the fir looks great, it is not practical. If you're walking around in knee deep snow or if it's snowing the fir tends to collect snow and it gets a little cold and wet just around the top rim. Bottom line, they are more of a street boot, rather than an off-road adventure boot. And keep in mind that you will only be able to wear leggings or skinny pants with these. Or snow pants that are wide leg enough to go over the top. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I am usually a size 7-1/2 in dress shoes, and an 8 in running and active shoes. Bought the 8 and it fits great with a medium thickness wool sock.
Great Boot
By tynkalIM
from Wisconsin
I ordered this boot online after reading the reviews and so far I'm very happy with it. It snowed today and I got to use it outside while shoveling for over an hour. I found my feet stayed warm and dry. My only complaint if I had to say one is that it is a little narrow but not too narrow (I have normal, not wide feet so it's still comfortable). It looks good and it's easy to pull on with tabs that are hidden by the fur. I'm normally a size 7 shoe and the size 7 boot fits perfectly fine. Overall, very happy.
The Perfect Winter Boot
By nf27
from NJ
I LOVE this boot and could live in it all winter long. It is WARM (and my feet are always cold). I bought this boot for a snowboarding weekend in VT and it was the perfect thing to wear off the mountain in the subzero temperatures. What I also like about the boot is that it has a somewhat narrower toe area. There's definitely enough wiggle room for toes, but you don't feel like you're clomping around in clunky snowboots. They fit more like a regular shoe.
Quality Product
By Seattle123
from Seattle, WA
Although these were a little on the expensive side, I think they were well worth the money. I recently wore them at Snoqualmie Pass where there was several feet of snow. The boots were completely waterproof and I stayed warm the whole time. They dried off pretty quickly after I took them off as well. I was worried that the boots might feel heavy, but they actually were very comfortable to walk in and didn't add a lot of extra weight.
Puddles are no problem
By AzCarol
from North Georgia
I wear these boots on easy hiking trails and out about in the city. Not a slip in the city or on the trails. Just what I have been looking for for a long time.
Colorado Here I Come!!!!!
By Holly Kociuba
from LIberty Hill, TX
I bought these for our 5 day ski trip to Breckenridge, CO. I was so glad that I had bought these boots. They slip on and are quick to lace up tight - the fact that they are warm, tall enough to keep the snow out and waterproof - what more could you ask for? Oh yes, and stylish!!! Best pair of boots I have ever owned for cold, wet weather. I love them! Even rode my horse in them (yes, we did have a COLD spell in Texas that required bundling up!)

II Cor 6:10 Having nothing yet possessing everything
Paul describes his hardship, which is a text book Christian life style for the rest of us. I wonder how many of these hardships I can relate my life to. If nothing else, I have to hold firm to this last point that on this earth in our life time we may not have anything yet in Christ and in eternity we possess everything. This must be our confession. This must be our faith!

Topic: Heart of Darkness
What is the function of the frame material in "Heart of Darkness"? Who starts and ends the tale?
1 Answer | add yours
The general purpose of a frame story is to add different perspectives to the narrative. In "Heart of Darkness", for example, the third narrator gives the reader another perspective on Kurtz. This allows the reader to decide which story is the most credible since some of the details are contradictory and can lead to various interpretations. Other frame stories such as "Frankenstein" also use this same device. Having more than one narrator makes for a much more complex story which can have many different meanings. Thus the author can include much more depth to his or her themes and explore the characters in greater detail.

TERRE HAUTE — It never ceases to amaze me how fast time slides past us… Or should I say, blows by. I've lived in my house 28 years; I've taught school for over 30, and I've been married a little longer than that. I honestly think I have t-shirts that are older than the high school students I have in class, and my two kids still don't believe I can remember a time when television went off the air around midnight after a rousing rendition of the national anthem.
Proving my point is the fact that this is already the 10th year of the Pizza Hut Wabash Valley Classic. It sure doesn't seem like it was that long ago when I first got myself saddle-sore watching those first Classic games from the bleachers at Terre Haute South. If I recall, we had a whole lot of snow that inaugural year too.
I think a 10-year anniversary is special. According to tradition, being in a relationship for a decade is proof of durability and commitment. It may seem mildly inconsistent, but 10th anniversaries are normally commemorated with either a gift of diamonds, or one of tin or aluminum. I may get all weepy about how much I love the Classic, but diamonds are beyond my budget, so we'll have to settle for simply tipping a can of soda sometime Saturday morning at Terre Haute — just before Bloomfield and Terre Haute South tip-off in the day's first game — in honor of this great tournament. Of course, I hope to have a slice of pizza to go with it.
Over the years, I've seen the WVPHC grow, not only in the size of the field and in attendance numbers, but also in stature as one of the very best high school basketball tournaments in the country. Last year provided perhaps the best year of all since a little guy — Marshall's Lions — broke through to win it in reminiscence of all of those small-school champions the old Wabash Valley Tourney had in its 57 years of existence.
I've had a load of favorite moments in the PHWVC — too many to mention here. But if I had to name just one, it would come from championship night in the 2001 tournament. The gym at North was, of course, packed that evening in anticipation of a David and Goliath match-up between Northview and tiny Turkey Run. The tournament that year came at a time when stress in this country was running like a high fever; terrorists had attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon just a few months before.
Everyone in the gym stood, addressed the flag, and, as many sang "The Star-Spangled Banner," I remember thinking that it was as respectful a crowd that I had ever seen. Before the spell was broken by the ensuing roar, I saw more than a few tears being wiped away. It wasn't an exciting dunk, or a go-ahead basket in a nail-biter, but it was special…
Now, here's the yearly PHWVC trivia quiz, and if you get them all correct, why I'll tip my can to you too. In the meantime, I need to figure out how to celebrate next year. Eleventh-year anniversaries are usually commemorated with a gift of steel… See you at the Classic.

5. _________It's important to note that the profits from the pizza that is sold at the PHWVC go to the booster clubs of the host school. But, how many slices of the stuff were sold at last year's tournament? (a. 4,500 (b. 7,500 (c. 9,500 (d. 11,500
6. _________What school has won the most games in Classic history? (a. Terre Haute North (b. Terre Haute South (c. Northview (d. Bloomfield.
7. _________What school currently in the Classic hosted the very last old-time Wabash Valley Tournament in 1972? (a. Rockville (b. Sullivan (c. Marshall (d. Casey
8. __________Two schools in the PHWVC field won the old Valley four times. Can you name the pair?
9. __________How many different schools have participated in the Pizza Hut Wabash Valley Tournament? (a. 18 (b. 22 (c. 24 (d. 26
10. _________Okay, the old-timer toughie: The old Valley ran for 57 years. In that time, how many different schools participated in it? (a. 98 (b. 124 (c. 136 (d. 158
1. (d. 65,000
2. (b. Fears was a Honey Creek Honey Bee

Rachel Uchitel has many names -- The Pilgrim of Mistresses, The $10 Million Holla, Nordegren's Nemesis -- and now she's Reverend Rachel Uchitel. All rise!! That's what she said.
TMZ has learned ... Uchitel was ordained this week by Universal Ministries -- an organization which, according to its website, "will ordain anyone, at no charge."
Our sources say Rachel -- who has two close friends with a wedding looming -- wanted to marry them.
And in case you didn't know ... Reverend Uchitel has an interest in married men.
...I bet u ANYTHING she got the idea from a recent repeat of Family Jewels, and just doin the Shannon Tweed thing.
"At no charge?" I've been a "minister" in the Universal Life Church Inc.for 25 years and it cost me $20.00. They used to run an ad in the back of Rolling Stone mag. Guess I got screwed.
OMG every picture I see of her looks so whory. I showed this to my grandma and she was like "tiene cara de puta" she has the face of a whore lol grandma knows!
Oh, crap. Seeing this story totally reminded me that I got ordained by Universal Ministries when I was 18. Guess I forgot.
what the hell is wrong with her friends? why would you want someone who shows absolutely no respect for the institution of marriage (after all, the girl is famous for having affairs with famous men who were married) officiating at your wedding?
HYPOCRITE!! What a joke!! Take your 10 million and blow the hell out of America!! No ONE likes you Rachel``` except of course, the men who like it when you `` sucky sucky!! There's a name for females like you ````` WH0RE!!
Oh yeah `````````` Is that coke in your nose? Sure looks like it to me. A coke WH0RE and a home wrecking WH0RE who can marry people now. HYPOCRITE!!!
Elin's 'nemesis'? Way to much credit for Rachel Uchitel. Let's compare where they'll both be 5, 10 years from now...Elin will have finished her degree and probably opened up the children's counselling clinic as reported and doing well; RU will either be playing the role of gold digging wife or still chasing after and cheating with the Tigers of the world. Independant of money, Elin before, during and (long)after RU is in a different class in all areas.

What is
Kawasaki's disease
Kawasaki disease is an illness of childhood that leads to
, rash and heart disease in children without any specific cause. This disease is more common in the Japanese American population.
How does Kawasaki's disease spread?
There is no scientific reason available at present for this disease, but multiple theories exist. It is postulated that it can occur post infections, or due to an
immune system
What are the
symptoms of Kawasaki's disease
Children present with fever, rash all over the body, pain in neck, red eye (conjunctivitis), strawberry coloured tongue, red lips, enlarged neck glands and sometimes even pain in joints. Untreated and unchecked it may lead to heart disease involving the coronaries making these children prone to early heart attacks in early adulthood.
How is
diagnosis of Kawasaki's disease
At present there is no specific laboratory test for diagnosis of Kawasaki disease. Most of the time its diagnosis is based on clinical based symptoms and variation in blood tests. Blood tests may show a high platelet count, high ESR and high C-reactive protein. Heart sonography in form of echo may be done and that may show increase in size of coronary vessels.
What should you do if you have a child with fever?
If your child is getting fever with uneasiness since five days and not responding, you must contact your family pediatrician for early management.
What is the
treatment of Kawasaki disease
Early treatment in Kawasaki's disease is essential.
Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG)
may be given to bring down fever and prevent heart disease.
may be given for a long time to prevent formation of clot in coronary artery and prevent heart attacks. A child with Kawasaki's disease may need to be monitored with regular heart scans to check for reversibility of changes and also to see if the lesions are worsening.
How can Kawasaki disease be prevented?
There is no specific method by which Kawasaki's disease can be prevented.
Are there any
vaccines to prevent Kawasaki disease
There is no vaccine to prevent Kawasaki disease.
