Mo Farah reveals 'disappointment' over London Marathon
Mo Farah and his wife have spoken of the shock and confusion they felt when he collapsed at the end of the New York marathon.
Farah's wife Tania said she was "initially scared" as she had never seen her husband collapse before, and admitted "for a moment I was fearing the worst".
– Tania Farah
I had never seen him collapse before. I didn't know what to expect, why he had collapsed and if he would recover.
The double Olympic gold medallist also told Daybreak's John Stapleton he was "disappointed" with his performance at this year's London marathon, where he came in 8th, completing the 26 mile track in just over two hours.
Farah, who is one of only five Olympic athletes to win the 5k/10k double and the only runner to do it on home soil, moved to Hounslow from war torn Somalia when he was eight-years-old.
Watch: Mo Farah: I will be back and I'll do better
His sporting talent was spotted by a PE teacher and Mo went on to have a very successful career as a junior athlete winning the European Junior 5000m title in 2001.
The father-of-two was speaking as part of Weetabix's Ultimate Sports Day campaign, which offers youngsters the chance to create and take part in their dream school sports day.
– Mo Farah
When I was in Kenya there are so many little kids just running around in the street and that's why they have so many guys...winning.
If we can get more kids active and get them off playing games and stuff, then we can do it.

Interesting read on Tice
This is from the SPPP...couldn't get the direct link, sorry.
"His players work for one of the league's least secure coaching staffs, play in arguably the most outdated combination of practice facility and stadium, and reside in one of the coldest NFL outposts.
And, until June, they also were run by one of the league's most frugal owners, Red McCombs.
That has Tice playing P.T. Barnum to his peers.
Despite such challenges, Tice attracted several of the key players who have led the Vikings from laughingstock to playoff contender in just five weeks.
Tice clinched Brad Johnson by escorting the quarterback to his car through the snow last March.
He convinced Koren Robinson with a candid cell phone conversation in September while the receiver was at a substance-abuse rehabilitation center at the University of South Carolina.
He lured free safety Darren Sharper with a walk through the Vikings' locker room.
He enticed Antoine Winfield by securing more money and a private jet to whisk the coveted cornerback and his wife from New York after he had reached an oral agreement with the Jets late one evening in 2004.
And he wrapped up Pat Williams by targeting the nose tackle on the first day of free agency and impressing him with his 14-year NFL playing career.
"Mike Tice is a tremendous recruiter," said Rob Brzezinski, who, as the Vikings' vice president of football operations, also plays a key role in the process.
"He is a significant advantage in free agency. He's able to very quickly form a relationship with these guys that makes them comfortable and excited about our program.
"That is one of Mike's greatest strengths."
Unlike their college peers, an NFL head coach's ability to recruit isn't considered a principal prerequisite.
Teaching, leading, organizing and game planning are the most valued qualities NFL owners seek.
Critics can argue about Tice's grasp on the above-listed traits. But he has a vice grip on how to recruit, and his handpicked players have saved the Vikings' season and revived his future here.
"I told him to just stay inside," Johnson said. "But I just felt comfortable when he walked me to the car. It's kind of weird. I don't need that. But I felt wanted.
"That was a big part of (my decision)."
Sharper, Williams and tight end Jermaine Wiggins appreciated Tice's candor, his extensive NFL playing career and his reputation as a players' coach.
Cornerback Fred Smoot acknowledged that Tice's active recruitment of him factored into his decision to sign with the Vikings.
A former tight end, Tice sold Wiggins on a chance to become an integral part of the passing offense, something other teams were not willing to promise.
"He said I had the ability to do that, and that's what I've been doing," said Wiggins, the Vikings' leader in receptions this season and last. "He was a big factor (in the decision)."
When he visited the Vikings after being released by the Green Bay Packers for refusing a pay cut, Sharper talked with Tice in his office and then walked around the locker room with him.
"He just went around and was honest with different players," Sharper said.
"Then, he was honest with me, as far as who they were looking at, and telling me what kind of defense we were going to run and what they expected out of me.
"I just got the feeling that he was being straightforward."
The admiration was mutual.
Although the Vikings were enamored with Jacksonville Jaguars safety Donovin Darius, Tice insisted Brzezinski work out a deal with Sharper's agent, Joel Segal. Sharper agreed to terms on a four-year deal before he left Winter Park.
Underappreciated in Buffalo, Williams was flattered that the Vikings pursued him on the first day of free agency and offered him a sizable contract.
Williams also remembered Tice as an NFL player, and he connected with Tice's "lunch-pail" approach.
"Everybody always said his training camp was hard, and it was hard, but I loved it," Williams said. "I love playing for him."
But Tice doesn't limit his recruiting to the offseason. Late in the exhibition season, cornerback Brian Williams asked Tice what he thought about his former North Carolina State teammate Robinson. Tice always had been impressed with Robinson, and he decided to contact the receiver at the rehabilitation center.
Determined to concentrate on his rehab, Robinson really didn't want to talk about football or to anyone related to the game. But Tice impressed Robinson with his bluntness.
"I told him, 'Look, I've made mistakes; you've made mistakes,' " Tice recalled. " 'I'm in trouble for selling my Super Bowl tickets. I've embarrassed my family. But as long as you battle your way through it and you get yourself right, I'd love for you to come in and visit.' "
Said Robinson: "I knew he was going to keep it real. He wanted to give me a second chance."
After initially signing him, the Vikings released Robinson to save money.
But other teams, including the Packers, approached Robinson's agent, Alvin Keels. The Packers offered more money and passes, as well as a starting spot.
"I was tempted," Robinson said, "but at the end of the day, I had to be loyal and just follow my heart.
"(Tice) was the first one to step out there and give me that opportunity.
"Everyone else was just sitting back there and waiting."
"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation." HERBERT SPENCER"Meet at the quarterback!" -Purple People Eaters

Great read there SDvikefan I hope we do keep Tice as our head coach after the year is done.Minnesota Vikings : Simply the best

Austin's Vegan Ice Cream Parlor
Sweet Ritual, a vintage-inspired, all-vegan ice cream parlor, is now open for business in Austin.
This month, vegan ice cream parlor Sweet Ritual opened for business in Austin, TX, serving a combination of soy- and coconut milk-based frozen treats. Co-owners Amelia Raley and Valerie Ward conceptualized the shop after Raley began serving vegan soft-serve at Toy Joy—a local combination toy store and café—several years ago, and the duo decided to start a business featuring ice cream parlor recipes from the early 1900s. The parlor, which received more than $3,000 in donations through Kickstarter, will include touches like a 1950s milkshake spindle machine, homemade waffle cones, and antique furniture. The pair tells Austin Culture Map that they have been experimenting with ice cream flavors like lemon-poppyseed, bananas foster, and chocolate-lavender.

Still time to Ramp up the Red for life-saving heart research
12:25pm Wednesday 5th March 2014 in Readers' Letters
ON February 7, we asked people around the UK to "Ramp up the Red" for the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and join us in the fight for every heartbeat.
It may come as a surprise to your readers that coronary heart disease (CHD) is the UK's single biggest killer.
It kills nearly one in six men and more than one in ten women and is responsible for almost 74,000 deaths in the UK each year, an average of 200 people each day.
In the south-east CHD is responsible for the deaths of 9,800 people each year and there are almost 276,000 people in the south-east living with CHD.
Our annual fundraising campaign was an opportunity to urge the UK to raise money to continue to fund the vital research needed to fight heart disease. We were not disappointed – we saw people across the southeast fundraise by wearing red make up, red clothing or throwing a red party in support of us.
We are hugely grateful for the funds raised so far, which will go towards supporting the 2.3 million people in the UK currently living with coronary heart disease.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind those who got involved with Ramp up the Red to pay in the money they raised. Every penny raised makes a huge difference.
With this in mind, we wanted to let your readers know that there is still time to get involved with Ramp up the Red and fundraise for the BHF's life-saving research.
Readers can hold a red bake sale, challenge friends and family to a red-themed quiz or organise their own Ramp up the Red event.
You can even buy a Love Note at your local BHF shop.
For more information about Ramp up the Red or to donate please visit bhf.org.uk/red.

South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint swears neutrality in the Republican presidential primary, but anyone attempting to connect the DeMint dots this week would be excused for thinking he's effectively a silent surrogate for Mitt Romney.
That DeMint sounds like a Romney supporter isn't surprising: The conservative kingmaker and tea party icon endorsed Romney's maiden White House bid in 2008, and has consistently spoken positively about the former Massachusetts governor despite declining to endorse him again.
But a series of comments made by DeMint this week -- and actions taken by some of his closest confidants -- suggests he's unofficially advocating for Romney, if not outright supporting him.

April 22, 2014
There can be no doubt that the legislators' courageous act of publically acknowledging our protest issues in late August 2013 saved many lives, and it gave many people real hope that substantive changes will be forthcoming. And now that there has been additional public exposure – via the two public hearings – demonstrating CDCR's refusal to institute real, meaningful changes, on its own, people are relying on the legislature to do all in their power to pass legislation reining in CDCR's gross abuse of power, this year.
February 11, 2014
The CDCR is proposing new regulations on "security threat groups" or "gangs," which will be implemented after a regular public hearing, to be held on April 3. The Step Down Program, which CDCR has been executing as a pilot program, is apparently being added to CDCR's vast number of regulations. The implementation of the official Step Down Program comes while a second legislative hearing on Feb. 11 has been organized.
January 30, 2014
Since implicit in making it a requirement that people participate in those programs available in each step and that any failure to do so will result in a person being moved back to Step 1 until that person agrees to subordinate him/herself to the dictates of Section 700.2 (self-directed journals), the cognitive restructuring/brainwashing program is, clearly, mandatory.
June 10, 2013
After years of the abuse of authority by Adjustment Center (A/C) committee members and unit staff, a collective group of Death Row prisoners in the A/C will be joining in the statewide non-violent, peaceful hunger strike in July 2013 to demand that the warden of San Quentin use his power of authority to bring about positive change to prisoners housed in the A/C SHU.
December 20, 2012
The new "Security Threat Group Prevention, Identification, and Management Strategy" will instigate new and more aggressive attacks against prisoners and their families, friends, associates and communities, who are already being victimized by our institutionalized racist system and the prison industrial complex. It is just one of their many policies to persecute prisoners incarcerated in solitary confinement units.

To Begin the World Anew: The Genius and Ambiguities of the American Founders
Synopses & Reviews
"Bernard Bailyn is perhaps our finest and most imaginative historical essayist." Jack Rakove, author of Original Meanings
"His distinctive voice, as level-headed and acute as ever, works as both a stimulant and a balm, wrapped in an umbra of intellectual integrity." Kirkus Reviews
"This is vintage Bailyn....One comes away with a rounded appreciation of the founders' limitations, failures and moral failings as well as their extraordinary achievements." Publishers Weekly, starred review
"To Begin the World Anew...is a collection of expanded versions of lectures Bailyn has given at various academic conferences, but the book is no less fresh for it....[E]ven scholars of the period will be intrigued by Bailyn's discussion of the increasing reference to (and reverence for) the Federalist Papers in Supreme Court decisions." Michael Kenney, Boston Globe
From a premier historian — twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize — comes a set of illuminating sketches of the characteristics, accomplishments, and ambiguities of some of the key figures of the Revolutionary generation. 65 illustrations, color.

Southern Company Energy Technology Leadership Recognized With Excellence Award For Greenhouse Gas Reduction Project
ATLANTA, Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern Company's demonstration of innovative technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants was recognized today with an Industry Excellence Award from the Savannah Ocean Exchange.
The award was presented in Savannah, Ga., at the Savannah Ocean Exchange's second annual Solutions Exchange. The award honors corporations and organizations that are implementing tangible solutions that shape the future today by generating economic growth and increasing productivity while reducing waste and the use of natural resources.
Southern Company won the award for a project that is capturing carbon dioxide from Plant Barry near Mobile, Ala., in partnership with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and others.
The captured carbon dioxide is being supplied to the U.S. Department of Energy's Southeast Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership, which is transporting the compressed flue gas by pipeline to the Citronelle Oil Field, operated by Denbury Resources about 11 miles from the plant, to be permanently and safely stored in a deep saline geologic formation.
The overall project represents the world's largest power plant demonstration of start-to-finish carbon capture and storage technology.
"Energy innovation projects like this are critical to providing real, meaningful solutions for America's energy future," said Chris Hobson, Southern Company senior vice president for research and environmental affairs and chief environmental officer. "The leadership in energy technology that has been recognized by this award advances the notion that a healthy environment and robust domestic energy policy can coexist."
Since June 2011, Southern Company and its project partners have captured 80,000 tons of carbon dioxide from Plant Barry, which is owned and operated by Southern Company subsidiary Alabama Power, using the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. technology KM-CDR™.
The Plant Barry project is part of an extensive energy innovation program that supports Southern Company's industry leadership in proprietary research and development.
Founded in 2010, Savannah Ocean Exchange unites international organizations across multiple disciplines and boundaries to distribute and adopt solutions that positively impact the ocean, economies and health. The 2012 Board of Governors includes 31 thought leaders from around the world who represent diverse backgrounds and expertise; share a commitment to innovation and the protection of the ocean and the enhancement and advancement of solutions that will create new industries, expand job opportunities and recharge economies.
With 4.4 million customers and more than 43,000 megawatts of generating capacity, Atlanta-based Southern Company (NYSE: SO) is the premier energy company serving the Southeast. A leading U.S. producer of electricity, Southern Company owns electric utilities in four states and a growing competitive generation company, as well as fiber optics and wireless communications. Southern Company brands are known for excellent customer service, high reliability and retail electric prices that are below the national average. Southern Company also is continually ranked among the top utilities in Fortune's annual World's Most Admired Electric and Gas Utility rankings. Visit our website at www.southerncompany.com.

The Rosy Lane buttress is across the river from Rosy Lane Campground. The easiest approach is to park at the north end of the North Bank Campground. There is a parking area there for the use of hikers despite what the signs say. Keep driving north through the campground until you cannot drive any more. Park and walk about a mile along the river. You will pass a number of the Miscellaneous climbs listed and come to a screee field below Death Dihedrals. The buttress is just after this field. The climbs start on the north side of the buttress, continue on the east side, facing the river, and end up in the tight gully on the south side.

The most important resonance that played an important role in violin is the air resonance and wood resonance.
The frequency of the air resonance is determined by the size and shape of the air cavity within the violin. It is also dependent on the size, shape and position of the .The resonance air frequency is determined by blowing sharply across the . It is this resonance that a note is produced in the violin.
When the foot of the bridge of the violin is alternately pressed on the belly and then release, the entire front of the violin is moving in and out. The entire plate of the violin along the bass bar moves back and forth with a frequency. This is the wood resonance. Such resonance frequency just lies below the frequency of the string. The resonance frequency depends on the type of wood, thickness and shape of the wood plate and variations in the thickness of the plate.
When the air and wood resonance occur at the wrong frequency, the observable note will not be clearly heard. It is drastically different form the original one. In it, the loudness curve will not be uniform.

Aril Brikha will play live in Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra and Sydney over two weekends from March 9th. Though he's lived in Sweden for most of his life, Brikha's musical work has perhaps been most strongly associated with Detroit ever since his Deeparture In Time LP was released on Derrick May's Transmat imprint in 1999. His music came out on several high-profile labels in the decade that followed, including Poker Flat, Peacefrog and Kompakt, before Brikha started up his own imprint, Art of Vengeance. With the first order of business being a comprehensive re-release of his debut album, including a bonus disc of unreleased material recorded around the same time as well as a 12-inch of brand new remixes, the label has subsequently put out two new singles of Brikha's with more on the way. Brikha's Australian tour will begin in Melbourne on the 9th of March with a Chameleon Recordings party at the Royal Melbourne Hotel. Steve Ward, Uone and Dean Benson are among the local talent also on the bill. His Brisbane appearance the following evening will be at Bar Soma, then he'll head to The Clubhouse in Canberra on Sunday the 11th. Brikha's final performance will be in Sydney on March 17th at One22 with Robbie Lowe, DarkChild and Dave Stuart in support. Tickets for the Sydney show can be purchased here on RA.

High School indoctrinators of the world....UNITE!
- Login to post comments
I read this very interesting article in the local "alternative weekly" and it caused some consternation..... Quite frankly, this guy is a frequent contributor to the paper and this is rather tame...a few quotes:
The American way of life is predicated on a permanent war economy. Our society would collapse without perpetual violence against weaker nations and rape of the natural world.
Perhaps the most dangerous lie of all is the belief that they are "our" troops and that they serve "us."
We civilians pay for the military, but it takes its orders from ExxonMobil, General Electric, Boeing, and a host of other corporations.
All of these from the Illinois Times, published on July 6, 2006 (I don't want a plagiarism suit filed.... the source is noted *grin*)

The two Franklin children who died after becoming trapped inside a hope chest in their home are being laid to rest.
A funeral Mass for 8-year-old Lexi Jane Munroe and 7-year-old Sean Allan Munroe II is scheduled for Monday at St. Mary's Church.
Calling hours are Sunday at the Ginley Funeral Home.
Authorities say the pair became trapped Jan. 12 in a chest that had been recalled because it could only be opened from the outside. The deaths have been ruled accidental.
Their obituary says Lexi loved to dance and sing and play with her doll, Julia. Sean loved to play with his Lego Star Wars, to go fishing and to eat Fluff.
They are survived by their parents and three sisters.

Microsoft Corp.'s new chief executive, Satya Nadella, has retired from network-equipment maker Riverbed Technology Inc.'s board, roughly a year after he took on that role.
Riverbed said Mr. Nadella was stepping down from the post to more "fully devote time to his new position" at Microsoft. Mr. Nadella was appointed to the top post at Microsoft earlier this month, becoming the software company's third CEO since it was founded in 1975.
"As a valued partner to Microsoft, I look forward to continuing to work with Riverbed," Mr. Nadella said.
Nonemployee directors at Riverbed were paid an annual fee of $45,000 in 2012, the most recent year the company disclosed compensation for directors. Additional annual retainer fees were due to various committee chair or lead director positions, and all of the company's nonemployee directors in fiscal 2012 were awarded either stock or option awards.
Mr. Nadella was entitled to receive the company's standard compensation package for nonemployee directors, Riverbed said a year ago when his appointment was disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.
Mr. Nadella's decision to leave Riverbed comes as eBay Inc. has found itself criticized by activist investor Carl Icahn about potential conflicts of interest on the online retailer's board.
While Microsoft is an important technology partner for Riverbed, conflict of interest concerns weren't listed as a reason for Mr. Nadella's departure in Riverbed's statement Wednesday.

Shu, founded and led by Liu Bei and later succeeded by Liu Shan, is the closest you'll get to "the good guys." Their motive is focused solely on forging a kingdom for the people, one of true peace and, of course, benevolence and virtue. Its officers all share varying levels of Honor Before Reason and most importantly, they're all incredibly dedicated not just to Liu Bei, but specifically, his cause. Shu is also notable for being the last of the kingdoms to be formally founded as for much of Liu Bei's earlier exploits, he and his forces had no base of operations and spent much of that time roaming the Chinese countryside helping where he could. Interestingly, most of its finest men all use some kind of polearm. Their identifying color is green and their animal symbol is a dragon.Here's the list of characters categorized in the Shu Kingdom in Dynasty Warriors, arranged in their chronological appearance in the series.

Height: 6'1 1/4" (186cm)Son of Xi leader Ma Teng and cousin of fellow Shu officer Ma Dai, after the assassination of his father, Ma Chao holds grudge against Cao Cao and attempts to avenge his father's death in Tong Gate, to no avail. So he joined Zhang Lu and as Zhang Lu's officer, he led reinforcements to Liu Zhang when the latter is atttacked by Liu Bei in Chengdu. However, he and Ma Dai decide to join with Shu because he believes that Liu Bei is on the side of justice and becomes one of the Five Tiger Generals.Filled with a warrior's pride, Ma Chao is a straightforward man who believes in making his future with his own power.

He eventually becomes one of the shining hopes for Shu's future.Steadfast and a bit hot-blooded, Jiang Wei is a formal perfectionist who strives to always act his best.

Debuting in Dynasty Warriors 3
Wei Yan
"The Forbidding Mask"
Died: 234
Style Name: Wenchang
Japanese spelling: GienAge: 37
Height: 6'0" (182cm)A general who serves under Han Xuan, Wei Yan betrays him after the paranoid warlord attempts to execute the revered general Huang Zhong. With Zhong, he defects to Shu; through many battles, Wei Yan proves himself as courageous as any of the Five Tiger Generals.Though seemingly a barbaric, wild beast, he has a kind heart and simply desires to prove his worth. Since his lord sincerely believes in him, he stays loyal to him. However, he isn't the brightest figure in the army and may neglect to consider the consequences of his sometimes rash behavior.
Pang Tong

Died: 213
Style Name: Shiyuan
Japanese spelling: HoutouAge: 32
Height: 5'3" (160cm)A strategist for Shu who is sometimes known as "The Fledgling Phoenix", although Pang Tong is a talented man, his odd appearance and snide personality were said to repulse the lords in the Three Kingdoms era.Highly unconventional, smug in his wisdom (though not his abilities in combat), and sometimes smarmy, Pang Tong is someone who spares sweet talk and stays focused on the heart of the matter. While he seeks practical solutions that grants the best results, his blunt statements may sometimes make him unpopular with others. Even so, his heart is in the right place and he is a bit playful; with each little wisecrack or even insult that he may let slip, Pang Tong mends it with well-meaning advice.
Debuting in Dynasty Warriors 4
"The Wife of the Dragon"
Died: (Unknown)
Japanese spelling: GetsueiAge: 23
Height: 5'6 1/2" (169 cm)Yueying is a mature and collected young woman, both intelligent, beautiful, and elegant, who appreciates the value of patience and planning.Despite her composure, Yueying has been shown to be quite sarcastic at times and will openly chastise those whom act selfishly or insensitively. She also has little patience for those whom underestimate her and chauvinistic attitudes in general. Yueying takes great pride in her skills and learned abilities. She is a valuable asset to both her husband Zhuge Liang and Shu.
Debuting in Dynasty Warriors 5
Guan Ping
"The Star of the Next Generation"
Died: 219
Japanese spelling: KanpeiAge: 19
Height: 5'9" (176cm)Guan Ping is the adopted son of Guan Yu and older brother of Xing, Suo and Yinping. Along with his brother, Xingcai, and Liu Shan, he is thought of as the future of Shu.Guan Ping idolizes his father, striving to live up to his image. He is humble to his peers and acts in a chivalrous manner. Due to his youth, however, he can be quite naive and reckless on the field. He is also very close to Xingcai and could potentially have feelings for her that go beyond being comrades.

Pink Marble Birth of Brahma Statue 7"
Item # 65m5
Price: $165
Please take a minute and click here to tell us about your experience with Lotus Sculpture, our customer service and how you like your statue. We appreciate your feedback!
Buying these Ganeshas were a dream of mine for so long and I'm glad I did. Kyle was absolutely wonderful to deal and my Ganeshas came rather quickly and beautifully packaged. They are treasures on my altar and already I'm thinking of my next purchase. Thank you Lotus Sculpture for your wonderful service.Reviewer:Aman Pillay (Auckland, Auckland, NZ)
I have been looking at this statue for years, and knew deep down that I wanted to add it to my collection of other Lotus Sculpture statues. This antique statue is unique (estimated to be between 50 and 200 years old) and was offered to me at such a special discount that I felt overwhelmed when I opened the box, carefully packaged by Kyle and his team. When I looked at Goddess Meenakshi I smiled, because her nose is slightly crooked just like mine! I knew immediately that I am part of her and she is part of me. She is now sitting proudly on a dresser beside another antique statue of Shiva. Their respective heights are perfect. The love couple is complete! Thanks to Lotus Sculpture and Kyle Tortora for his generosity and for giving me this one chance opportunity to be connected to what is close to my heart. May Lotus Sculpture be prosperous!Reviewer:Jenny Wolkowicki (Roselle Park, NJ, US)
In all of my interactions with the owner of Lotus Sculpture, I experienced respectful communication, clear organization and overall excellent customer service. Thank you. I love the piece I bought from you.Reviewer:Amy Nosek (Bowen Island, British Columbia, CA)
Kyle with Lotus Sculpture, worked with us to find the best situation for our new swimming pool. We purchased two beautiful Buddha Heads that now stand on our pool columns overlooking the pool. Beautiful!!! We'll continue to shop here for more special Buddha's.Reviewer:David A. Kress (Chandler, AZ, US)
LOVE IT. I can feel the energy of it. VERY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you! Namaste, FabienneReviewer:Fabienne Diaz (Chapel Hill, North Carolina, US)
This Buddha is going to be a gift and it will make a lovely gift. It arrived on time and well packed. Good job.Reviewer:Angus Vail (Salem, OR, US)
We have been shopping at Lotus Sculpture for a good number of years and we have always been pleased with our purchases. As you perhaps know, buying the statues is the first step and "energizing" them at the temple is another step and the latter is important for "bonding" with the statue and to "take the metal" out of it. Putting the "deity" in the statue is a time-consuming and costly step, depending on the temple one chooses. It could range between $100 - 300. Fortunately the purchase of the statue itself at Lotus Sculpture makes it a great first experience and the next steps are equally moving, organizing the trip, purchases for the real deity, costs to the temple and swamis etc. I wished that some of the statues were more affordable, but then I understand that you offer quality product and that you run a business, not a temple. At the most a payment plan should be offered (pardon me if it is, I am not aware of it) instead of putting the item on a credit card. Personally, I do not like to associate my statues with credit. I see every item that you sell as divine, at least the path to an incredible experience with the "other" world, be it Hindu or Buddhist. Thanks for the great opportunity for shopping at Lotus Sculpture. I received the Yantra and will have it consecrated at the Kali Temple in Burtonsville, MD. We have also bought: Kali blessed in Burtonsville, MD, a.k.a Miss Kitty The Goddess with the mirror (she is now Meenakshi, blessed at the Murugan temple of North America, a.k.a Babe Ganesh, a.k.a Bongo on drums, blessed at the Ganesh temple, Queens Muruga and his peacock,a.k.a. Murray, blessed at Palani Andavar's shrine, Murugan temple of North America. The peacock lamp They have all been blessed and contrary to popular belief, I do not have a special shrine or altar in my house, I place them wherever I desire in the house, bedroom, living room and I do not feel disrespectful towards them. I figure, if they can see me in form and formless, what difference does it make whether they are in my bedroom or in a special part of the house dedicated to them? I do not believe in strict adherence to rituals. I do not possess these statues for religious purposes only. We offer them the food we eat on a daily basis. They also have special names. They make us happy, we love them. The represent beauty, a presence of something divine or more, I do not know. I know that they love us and smile in turn, NOT ALL THE TIME and that is how I know that the deity is here with us. They sometimes show sadness. Basically the relationship with them is an endless labor of love, cooking for them, celebrating birthdays with them, buying fruits for bongo, gardening for them and so forth. The experience is unbelievable.Reviewer:Jenny (Roselle Park, nj, US)
Kyle Tortora provides a great service in making these murthies available, and best of all, he has a deep understanding of Hinduism and Buddhism, and the esoterics of worship. I've recently bought my second murthy from Lotus. Kyle maintains an outstanding inventory of beautiful statues in all materials and sizes and his prices are extremely reasonable. Shipping was super fast! His customer service is among the best I've ever encountered. Thank you Lotus Sculpture!Reviewer:Gayatri Rajan (CANYON, CA, US)
Having gone to India to purchase statues many times, spending days trying to find good craftsmanship and then arranging the import is no more ! The wood sculpture that I bought for my husband for our fifth wedding anniversary was so much better in person than even in the pictures. Thank you Lotus Scuplture ! I will be purchasing more in the future for sure.Reviewer:Gopal (Tampa, Florida, US)
- Materials: Orissan Pink Marble hand carved in Orissa, India
- Total Height Including Base: 7 inches
- Base Width & Depth: 11.5 x 3 inches
- Weight: 6 pounds
- A beautiful sculpture depicting the birth of Brahma from the naval of Vishnu
- Vishnu is laying on the serpent kind Ananta Sesha as Brahma is born
- Lakshmi and an attendant sit as Vishnu's feet
- The sculpture is hand carved from one piece of pink marble
- The statue ships the same day from our California showroom
Vishnu is the main subject of this magnificent sculpture. He is laying on his back upon the coils of the multi-headed serpent, Ananta Sesha. Vishnu holds his club, a discus and a conch shell. From his navel there is a blooming lotus flower with the Hindu God Brahma seated on it. The four faced Brahma holds a water vessel, prayer malas, and the Hindu holy book, the vedas in his hands. Kneeling at Vishnu's feet is his consort, the Hindu goddess of wealth, Lakshmi. Next to Lakshmi is an attendant of Vishnu. A beautiful sculpture of the Birth of Brahma!
About Ananta Shesha: This enormous thousand-headed snake bears the earth on his head. Traditionally, it was believed that earthquakes were caused whenever the snake moved. Shesha floats on the cosmic ocean and Lord Vishnu reclines on the coil of his tail. This Naga survives even when the entire universe is destroyed. Hence, it is also called Ananta (eternal). Shesha accompanies Lord Vishnu in every incarnation.
About Brahma
The story of Brahma and Saraswati: In the beginning there was chaos. Everything existed in a formless, fluid state. How do I bring order to this disorder? wondered Brahma, the creator. With Knowledge, said Devi. Heralded by a peacock, sacred books in one hand and a veena in the other dressed in white Devi emerged from Brahma's mouth riding a swan as the goddess Saraswati. Knowledge helps man find possibilities where once he saw problems. Said the goddess. Under her tutelage Brahma acquired the ability to sense, think, comprehend and communicate. He began looking upon chaos with eyes of wisdom and thus saw the beautiful potential that lay therein. Brahma discovered the melody of mantras in the cacophony of chaos.
In his joy he named Saraswati, Vagdevi, goddess of speech and sound. The sound of mantras filled the universe with vital energy, or prana. Things began to take shape and the cosmos acquired a structure: the sky dotted with stars rose to form the heavens; the sea sank into the abyss below, the earth stood in between. Gods became lords of the celestial spheres; demons ruled the nether regions, humans walked on earth. The sun rose and set, the moon waxed and waned, the tide flowed and ebbed. Seasons changed, seeds germinated, plants bloomed and withered, animals migrated and reproduced as randomness gave way to the rhythm of life. Brahma thus became the creator of the world with Saraswati as his wisdom.
Saraswati was the first being to come into Brahma's world. Brahma began to look upon her with eyes of desire. She turned away saying, All I offer must be used to elevate the spirit, not indulge the senses. Brahma could not control his amorous thoughts and his infatuation for the lovely goddess grew. He continued to stare at Saraswati. He gave himself four heads facing every direction so that he could always be able to feast his eyes on Saraswati's beauty. Saraswati moved away from Brahma, first taking the form of a cow. Brahma then followed her as a bull. Saraswati then changed into a mare; Brahma gave chase as a horse. Every time Saraswati turned into a bird or a beast he followed her as the corresponding male equivalent. No matter how hard Brahma tried he could not catch Saraswati in any of her forms. The goddess with multiple forms came to be known as Shatarupa. She personified material reality, alluring yet fleeting.
Angered by his display of unbridled passion Saraswati cursed Brahma, "You have filled the world with longing that is the seed of unhappiness. You have fettered the soul in the flesh. You are not worthy of reverence. May there be hardly any temple or festival in your name." So it came to pass that there are only two temples of Brahma in India; one at Pushkar, Rajistan and the other in Kumbhakonam, Tamil Nadu. Undaunted by the curse, Brahma continued to cast his lustful looks upon Saraswati. He gave himself a fifth head to enhance his gaze.
Brahma's action motivated by desire confined consciousness and excited the ego. It disturbed the serenity of the cosmos and roused Shiva, the supreme ascetic from his meditation. Shiva opened his eyes, sensed Saraswati's discomfort and in a fit of rage turned into Bhairava, lord of terror. His eyes were red, his growl menacing. He lunged towards Brahma and with his sharp claws, wretched off Brahma's fifth head. The violence subdued Brahma's passion. Brahma's cut head seared through Bhairava's flesh and clung to his hand sapping him of all his strength and driving him mad. The lord of terror ranted and raved losing control of his senses. Saraswati, pleased with Bhairava's timely action, rushed to his rescue. With her gentle touch she nursed him like a child, restoring his sanity. Brahma, sobered by his encounter with the Lord of terror sought an escape from the maze of his own desire. Saraswati revealed to him the doctrine for his own liberation. Brahma sought to conduct a yagna, fire sacrifice, to cleanse himself and start anew. In order to conduct a yagna ritual the assistance of a wife is needed. Brahma chose Saraswati to be his wife and thus they were reconciled.
White, red and black marble statues are easy to take care of as they just need some annual upkeep to keep them looking as they did when they were first carved. Here are some easy tips to keep your White, red and black marble statues from Lotus Sculpture looking like the gods they are:
- Dust the statue as needed to prevent dirt build up
- To make the statue shine use a cotton cloth to buff the sculpture
- You can use a small amount of natural oil such as coconut oil or olive oil to further polish the sculpture
- Use a tooth brush to get into the hard to reach spaces of the sculpture
- DO NOT TOUCH the painted surfaces of any of the white marble statues. This will damage the painting if done often

Designed to transfer military vehicles between ships at sea to support US Army and Marine Corps land forces as part of the US Navy's Sea Base strategy, Cargotec's innovative test article vehicle transfer system (TAVTS) has now successfully completed sea trials. These were carried out by the US Navy's Strategic and Theatre Sealift Program Office (PMS 385) which is part of Program Executive Office Ships (PEO Ships).
TAVTS is part of a risk-reduction effort by the US Department of Defence Maritime Prepositioning Force (Future) when transferring military vehicles between ships at sea. The aim of the tests and the programme is to provide the US military with the capability for large-scale logistics movements from sea to shore without dependency on foreign ports.
During the trials, the US Navy demonstrated the transfer of vehicles between the surrogate 'mobile landing platform' (MLP) Mighty Servant 3 and the 'large medium-speed roll-on/roll-off' (LMSR) ship, USNS Soderman. The test demonstrated a self-deploying ramp system installed on the MLP and a new self-deploying sideport platform installed on the LMSR vessel. Deployment and retrieval of the ramp is controllable by one person. In case of failure, the system can safely continue to support vertical and horizontal design loads and allow emergency ship separation while carrying a vehicle weighing up to 72.5 tonnes (160,000 lb) anywhere along the length of the ramp.
Cargotec conducted harbour trials in Norway in November 2009, and PEO Ships' full-scale testing conducted was successfully completed in February this year. All test procedures were performed using the graduated 'crawl, walk, run' approach: starting with demonstrations alongside and at anchor, progressing to low sea state conditions in open water, and finishing with increasing sea states in open water.
Personnel and vehicles were successfully transferred between the ships in high Sea State 3 and low Sea State 4 during several days of testing in the Gulf of Mexico. Vehicles transferred included high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWVs), HMMWVs with trailers, medium tactical vehicle replacements, logistics vehicle system wreckers, amphibious assault vehicles, M88 tank recovery vehicles, and M1A1 main battle tanks.

Black Rabbit - Part fiveThe school courtyard only had about a dozen other students. Just mucking about; talking about their general idiotic things that went right over Shiloh's head as he wandered over to one of the few trees and sat in the grass beneath it. Blades of grass folding awkwardly and brushing against his puffy checkered pants. He hadn't seen his friend much today and it was already lunch hour. The boy never really realized just how lonely school was till today since they'd normally spent nearly all of their time together. Though there were some times that Casey would go off without saying why or where
Shiloh never really questioned it though.It's not like Casey had no friends before him anyways.. But Shi had just grown soattached to him and couldn't fight the often sense of jealousy that'd developed towards said friends.Leaves rustled above him due to a light but chilled breeze that swept along the school's roof. The thing that caught a nearby pair of hazel eyes was Shiloh's hair. T
Black Rabbit - Part eightThe morning light filtered through the soft baby blue curtains and cast a warm light across the cozy bedroom and onto the bed that usually just had one pink topped boy curled up innit. But this morning, a snake bitten rabbit held him close as they both slept ever so soundly. Unlike every other time that Casey woke up with a boy in the same bed, this was a pure, sweet kind of cuddle. As they lay there sleeping, Shiloh had his face pressed into Casey's chest, and the raven's face was submerged in Shiloh's soft, candy hair. Eventually, the taller of the two slowly came to. He looked up to the window, and then back down to what he had just brought his face up from. When he saw it was Shiloh though, his emerald eyes widened slowly and in one swift movement, he rolled out of the bed."No... no no no no no. Fuck... why did I..." he whispered, slowly crawling away from the bed.Of course, the whore thought he had sex with Shiloh the previous night, but didn't notice that he was still dressed i
Black Rabbit - Part sevenThe late October breeze shifted leaves across the sidewalks and roadways, which were usually empty. But tonight, they were filled with children in colorful costumes and teenagers looking to make some trouble. It was Halloween. And every dressed up child that Casey passed made him regret where he was driving even more. Shiloh had somehow pulled him into going trick or treating today, which was nearly impossible for someone to do. The raven absolutely hated trick or treating and hadn't done it since he was around the age of ten. But, Casey just couldn't say no to Shiloh. Maybe it was his baby blue eyes, staring into whatever goodness was left in his soul. Or perhaps it was the simple fact that Casey was growing very fond of the boy. Their agreement was that they he would go trick or treating with Shiloh just as long as he didn't wear a costume.But as Casey pulled up to the quaint second story house on the hill, he couldn't help have a hunch that he would actually be in a costume sometim

Doyle is a talented player who has a hard shot, is a good skater and an offensive player. He uses his hard shot alot, sometimes too much, where at times he sacrifices accuracy in favor of hardness. His defensive game needs alot of work as it seems like he is thinking offense alot more than defense which is keeping him from having a good all-around game. I think that may be a reason why he slipped as much as he did. His work ethic and commitment is another reason why he has slipped because it seemed like he was trying to get by on talent alone at times.
Doyle does have the talent and the tools to get to the NHL, but he has to get his head into it and realize that it takes more than talent to get there. Hopefully being taken so low will give him that kick in the butt to get his head and game in gear or else his talent is going to be of no use.
For the people who think the Rangers are taking too many centers, personally I think Doyle would be a better fit on the wing instead of being a centerman.
thank you for coming in here and giving us some info.....sounds like a good pick....he seems lik ehe has some good size and a god shot...something the ranbgers system lacks....so far so good in the draft for me

As discussed here, on June 25, 2013, the Delaware Court of Chancery upheld the facial validity of forum selection bylaws unilaterally adopted by the boards of directors of Chevron Corporation and FedEx Corporation. Last week, the plaintiffs in that case voluntarily dismissed their appeal of that decision, thereby avoiding the possibility of the Delaware Supreme Court's (likely) affirmation of Chancellor Strine's opinion.
Many publicly traded Delaware corporations have adopted forum selection bylaws designating Delaware as the exclusive venue for stockholders' derivative suits and certain other stockholder suits. The purpose of these provisions is to reduce the high cost of duplicative, multi-forum suits challenging corporate actions and to help ensure that the matters in dispute will be heard relatively swiftly by a knowledgeable and highly regarded judiciary. However, the validity of these types of bylaw provisions had been in doubt, so the Chancery Court's decision in June was welcome news for many public companies.
