Super Sparkling Wine from Santa Lucia Highlands
One of our best non-vintage Champagnes, this organically grown blend of half each Chardonnay and Meunier comes entirely from Bruno Michel's estate. It has been aged for six years on the lees and shows wonderful natural toasty quality as well as incredible vibrance! This was the big hit of our most recent staff Champagne tasting and we think you will love it too.

>>Upcoming Special Events, Dinners, and Tastings
Before retiring after a long day tasting wine all across the Carmel Valley, I want to take a moment to highlight a couple standouts. During the course of a great lunch at the Bernardus Lodge, we started off with the cool, juicy and refreshing 2013 Bernardus rosé saignée of Pinot Noir $ 19.99. With flavors and aromas of fresh strawberry, cherry, watermelon, mixed berries and a touch of spice, this was a perfect warm weather refresher. This was definitely one of the best domestic rosés I've had in recent memory.
Completely different and even better was the outstanding 2009 Bernardus "Marinus" Carmel Valley Bordeaux Blend, which we drank toward the end of our meal. This serious wine blended blackberry fruit flavors, hints of oak, spice and savory herb in a smooth, elegant and richly balanced package. Look for this big, powerful but approachable wine as well as the refreshing and thirst quenching rosé in our domestic section soon.
Steve Bearden
Last night, Cinnamon and I stuck to our once a week tradition of steak and claret. I had asked Clyde for a recommendation on the Bordeaux, and he suggested the 1989 & 1990 Lanessan, and I bought both. We decided to try the 1989 first, and Cinnamon decanted it about an hour before we sat down to dinner. Since we are adventurous, she prepared a dry aged ribeye, baked potatoes and peas to go with the wine. So cutting edge!
Our Bordeaux buyer and owner Clyde managed to talk the folks at Lannesan out of quite the cache of old wines, and over the next weeks I hope to try at least all of the ones from the 80's. More potatoes will have to be baked! Here is what we got:
2011 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc $14.99
2010 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc $19.99
2009 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc $19.99
2004 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc $19.99
2003 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc $19.99
1999 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc $19.99
1998 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc $19.99
1990 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc $69.99
1989 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc $69.99- this is the one we drank last night!
1985 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc $69.99
1970 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc (1.5L) $199.99
1964 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc $79.99
1952 Lanessan, Haut-Médoc $169.99
The 1989 was in fantastic shape, even though we rushed it. Older bottles generally like some time to settle after shipping, and we didn't wait. In general, even if they have been in the country for years and come out of a good private cellar, we will wait a couple of months to open a wine of this age. The sediment is easily disturbed by moving the bottles from the store to home, and this bottle was no exception. We lost about a glass to soupy sediment, and ran this part through a coffee filter and set it aside, saving the "free decanted" portion for our dinner.
I am glad that I wasn't given this wine blind, because I would have missed it entirely. It was an impressive dark color and looked quite young in the glass. The bouquet had an amazing aroma of lavender in it, and that combined with a warm earthiness made it a dead ringer for old fashioned Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Since my experience has taught me that first impression is always the most accurate when tasting blind, I would have blurted out Châteauneuf-du-Pape… And been dead wrong! The seamless, medium bodied texture of the wine was all claret, and it lead into a mineral strewn, lively, long finish.
I have often heard the term "exotic" applied to the very warm and ripe 1989 vintage, and now I know why. This is a truly exotic Bordeaux, but without the excess baggage of alcohol, wood and clumsy thickness that one usually has to endure to get that exoticism. If you have occasion to drink an a special bottle of claret, this is a great candidate! More Lanessan notes to come!

She Never Knew Me Lyrics - Don Williams
Review The Song (1)
She packed up her suitcase
And walked to the door
She said she won't come back
Like she's done before
I'll bet she's in Dallas
Before it gets dark
I know she's thinkin',
She's breakin' my heart.
She knows I love her
But she thinks I'll crawl
But she never knew me
She never knew me
She never knew me, at all.
She knows I love her
I know I need her
God knows to please her
I've tried, and I've tried.
By now if I know her
She's changed her mind
She'll pull off the highway
And have a good cry.
And then like a lost child
She'll wanna come home
She thinks I'm waitin'
There by the phone.
She'll stop in some cafe
And give me a call
But she never knew me
She never knew me
She never knew me, at all...

Middle Eastern groceries in Watertown
I'm a recent transplant to the Boston area and cannot parallel park. Is there a public parking area (aside from street parking) close to Arax or the other Middle Eastern groceries in Watertown? It will take me 45 mins to get there by bus versus 12 minutes by car so I'd rather drive.
Also, I need saffron, dried limes, pomegranate paste, Angelica powder and Calendula. Do you know if these groceries carry these items?
Thanks in advance!
There's a small lot with some metered spaces off of Wells Avenue, around the block from the dunkin donuts, kind of across Bigelow Ave. from the Deluxe Town Diner.
You should be able to get the dried limes and calendula. I am not sure about the pomegranate paste and angelica powder, but there's a fair chance. If you cannot get saffron there, try Penzey's in Arlington. That's not terribly far and they do have their own parking lot.
re: bornagainitalian
I just got this cookbook called "Silk Road Cooking, A Vegetarian Journey." Leafing through it, I found an intriguing recipe for Pistachio Soup that requires angelica powder. Other recipes in the cookbook call for it too. The book's appendix mentions that angelica powder is used as a souring ingredient for recipes also including pomegranate paste. Maybe the two have an affinity?
arax actually has a tiny little "lot" in the back, but it's normally filled with the cars of the family that owns the place. If you go on Sunday, late Saturday or evenings you could almost certainly park in the Uncommon Grounds parking lot right next to Arax. They have "no Parking" signs, but that's mainly to discourage people from parking overnight during the winter, and I can't believe that they'd tow you for a half hour trip to the markets.
Same thing at the 7-11 parking lot a couple of blocks east.
OTOH, the street parking in Watertown is very forgiving (bigger spots) and it would be a good place to practice what is going to become an important life skill!
re: cpingenot
Arax and Sevan (& probably Massis) are closed on Sundays currently.
re: cpingenot
Actually, I think the coffee shop is pretty protective of their parking. I wouldn't chance it. But the lot Ralphie mentions is good.
re: cpingenot
The small parking lot behind Arax is good to know. I suppose I have to learn parallel parking sometime, although I've been trying hard to avoid it. I'll just try going there at night so there will be more available parking spaces.
re: cpingenot
DO NOT park in the Common Grounds lot. They WILL tow you if you do not dine at Common Grounds. It is a source of some irritation at Arax, but in some way I can understand as the lot would always be full of Arax customers.
The lot behid the Dunkin Donuts is your best choice. Or, a little further down, between the 7-11 and the Mobil Station is Templeton Parkway (funny name, definitely NOT a parkway. which is a long street with lots of legal parking and few cars so you would not have to parallel park. I fact the streets on either side of the 7-11 have lots of legal spots.
I got Angelica at the Harvest food coop in central Square.
Oh, and I know that they have dried limes and am almost completely certain about calendula. If Arax doesn't have it, one of the other places in that strip almost certainly will.
i've never had to actually parallel park there - i've usually been able to slide into a space head on. but maybe i've only been on slow days.
it really is easy to learn to parallel park - and it's really something you need to know how to do to get around boston!
Also, try Eastern Lamejun Bakers at 145 Belmont St, in Belmont.
Great array of spices, baked goods etc. They are NOT open on Sunday, just FYI.
Thanks all for a good description of the parking situation in Watertown, and for the bakery recommendation in Belmont. I'll try to drop in after work when it is less busy in that area. The maneuvers required for parallel parking are intimidating enough, but the idea of drivers waiting behind me (and maybe honking!) just makes me anxious.
re: amy_wong
Ah, be a typical Boston driver; f**k 'em...BTW, if you need to get a Mass. license, I think you have to know how to parallel park...
re: galleygirl
Good thing the RMV just let me trade in my out-of-state driver's license for a MA one. The sad thing is that I flunked the parallel parking part of my driving test.
re: amy_wong
Ah, each state is different...But it will change your life!
re: amy_wong
I moved to MA after a lifetime in the southwest, where parallel parking is something you learn -- sorta -- for your drivers test when you're 16 and then forget forever. I was a terrible, terrible parallel parker for a few years, until one day I realized I was zipping right into a tiny space without a second thought: like anything, you get good at it with practice.
In the meantime, if there's any way you can schedule your errands for mid-afternoon, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a parking spot you can glide right into and out of. Even on Saturday afternoons, if you go around 2 or so, it's rarely particularly crowded.
But if the small lot across the street from Deluxe Town Diner is full, if you continue the three or four blocks down the street that Deluxe is on, it ends at a T intersection at which there are a couple dozen pull-in spaces. That adds a longer walk to your errands, but perhaps that means you'll start balancing your fear of parallel parking against not having to schlep your groceries as far!
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
Yeah, I came from TX myself, where most places have abundant parking. Nowadays, I feel trapped because I can no longer go to places with no dedicated parking lots, which is no way for a food lover to live. I'll have to take your advice to visit in the early afternoon. It would be nice to have a Lexus with a push-button parallel parking capability, but that's not going to happen anytime soon.
Note: Arax sells something that's labeled "saffron" over in their dried spice section. It's an impressively large bag of dried-flower looking stuff, and sells for about $3/pound. Needless to say, it is *not* saffron. No saffron on Earth (or no saffron on Earth worth eating) is three dollars a pound. My Iranian wife and her mother burst out laughing at the label, immediately recognizing it as "poor man's saffron", a.k.a. calendula (which you also say you're looking for). So buy that to cover your calendula, but prepare to pay much more for a smaller packet of real saffron. Not sure what call there is to have both of them around, though.
re: Dereklowe
Oh, so that's calendula. I've seen that in Mexican groceries too, where they were labeled "mock saffron" or something similar. I'll keep a lookout for the real stuff, even if it burns a hole in my wallet.
re: amy_wong
I've found decent saffron at most of the Indian Grocers around. Expensive per pound, yes, but you generally only purchase a few grams, so not a horrible upfront expenditure.
re: amy_wong
I've found teeny jars of saffron at Trader Joe's for correspondingly less money, and the flavor was fine.
re: galleygirl
Thanks for the recommendations! Yeah, I go to Indian groceries around here but for some reason, I never look for saffron. Nice to know Trader Joe's has them too, since there is one close to me.

What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxConcordiaUPortland, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxConcordiaUPortland event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
What is TEDxConcordiaUPortland?
It's an independently organized and licensed offshoot of TED, you know, the huge speaking event with "ideas worth spreading". The event where they provide a way for us to hear great ideas from thinkers who have an idea that is changing the world.

The Cambridge School Winterfest 2014
was held on February 15. It began with Mrs Sunita Chowdhary, the Principal's inaugural address welcoming Mr Shoojit Sircar, the renowned film director and a TCS parent, as Chief Guest. Prizes and scholarships were then distributed to deserving students. The Cambridge Brilliance Awards for India-toppers were received by Sarjeel Yusuf for Economics and Rahul Arattuculam for Computing.
2014 is being celebrated the world over as William Shakespeare, the English playwright's, 450th birth anniversary. Thus, The Cambridge School, decided to stage adaptations of three of Shakespeare's well known plays for their 2014 Winterfest. The Junior School, Classes Nursery to III, presented 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' followed by the Middle School, Classes IV to VII's, 'Macbeth'. Finally, Classes VIII to XII presented 'The Tempest'. This was a fun and active way to learn about the literature of the great bard - in fact, it was literature, dance and drama all rolled into one. The students thoroughly enjoyed themselves preparing and presenting these adaptations.
The evening concluded with the 'As You Like It' dances presented by the AS and A2 classes. The dances were choreographed by the students themselves. 'The Last Gift' by the AS class needs special mention. It was a beautiful story, about love shared, told through dance. The A2 class presented a variety of well-choreographed, innovative dances which were well-choreographed. The Cambridge School has a talented group of senior students.
The hall was packed to capacity with eager parents watching their children sing, dance and act. Many senior students watched their friends sing and dance. There were appreciative cheers from students for their friends on stage. There was warmth and fellowship all around with one and all in a festive mood in the last few days of winter.
Winterfest 2013
was a
wonderfully colourful and joyous affair showcasing the
manifold talents of TCS students of all ages. Mrs Sunita
Chowdhary, Principal, inaugurated the event with her
welcome speech for the guest of honour Mr Sanjay Wadvani,
the Deputy British High Commissioner for Eastern India
who took out time from his busy schedule to congratulate
and distribute a very large number of prizes and
scholarships. Nishant George Agarwal and Aditya Pradhan
were applauded in particular for having won the
prestigious Cambridge Brilliance Awards.
The theme for this
year's production was Calcutta and the junior school
children presented a beautiful dance-drama celebrating
the different cultural festivals observed in the city.
It was a happy affair of showing unity and how little
children in their own way make their bonds of friendship
irrespective of faith, something that adults tend to
forget nowadays. Tiny tots dancing to classical music
and singing "Deck the Halls" dressed in Santa hats
melted the hearts of the entire audience.
The middle school
then focused on the historical aspect of Calcutta and
through their play, showed how the city carries on the
legacies of Rabindranath Tagore, Satyajit Ray and Netaji
Shubhash Chandra Bose. Institutions like Vishwabharati
University and popular hangouts like Trincas on Park
Street as well as the Indian Coffee House helped shape
the culture of the city into what it is today.
The senior school
made an extremely entertaining "Divine Comedy" on how
the ancient Hindu gods are pleasantly surprised as to
the extent to which Kolkata has changed physically and
culturally over the centuries. Their skit had the
audience rolling as Narada a.k.a. "Narry" experienced
disco culture first hand and showed Lord Indra that he
could do the moves as well as anyone! The A level
performance began with a tribute to Mrs Nonda Chatterjee,
past Principal. The dances signified the hope for change
and a better future for Kolkata. Cultural synthesis (the
main goal of an international school) and harmony was
celebrated as the evening ended with great fanfare and
February 2012 :
On the evening of
the 11th of February, 2012, The Cambridge School celebrated their
ninth WinterFest at Vidya Mandir. This year's show
revolved around the idea of 'Seasons' – the four seasons
of 'Spring', 'Summer', 'Autumn' and 'Winter' – as
depicted through the lifetime of Man.
The Winterfest was opened by the Principal Mrs. Sunita Chowdhary
who extended a warm welcome to guests, students and the
extended TCS family.
The Junior
School started the show with 'Spring' – fun journey
through a magical land where witches, wizards and
royalty came together. The little angels on the stage
drove home the point that there lay inherent talent in
all children.
The Middle School brought the warmth of 'Summer' through their
production of 'Pied Piper'. The young thespians sang and
danced through the play and yet imparted the vital
message – there is virtue and goodness in all children –
it is for us adults to bring out the virtuous side of
The Senior Section presented 'Autumn Leaves', a play signifying the
depth and steadfastness of love at the 'autumn' of one's
life. In addition, the Korean dance and the song by the
Thai students kept the audience enthralled.
'Winter' from the A-level students was summarized from the adapted
poem 'The Winter of Life'. Other song and dance
performances from the A-level students brought a
thrilling closure to the 'Seasons of Life'.
The Prize Distribution ceremony introduced the audience to the
honourable Chief Guest Amit Chaudhuri, distinguished
author. Mr. Chaudhuri in his key-note address lauded the
children on their excellent performance.
The prize and scholarships were then announced and the winners
And thus the evening ended on a note of achievement.
February 2011 :
The Winterfest was opened by the Principal, Mrs. Nonda Chatterjee, who
welcomed guests, students and families in her usual inimitable warm way as
she made each individual member of the school community…students, staff and
parents…feel valued and loved.
The primary section presented 'Birds of a Feather', an endearing combination
of two much-loved tales of Tuntuni and The Ugly Duckling. Despite being
small in size, they drove home the point that great talent can come in the
smallest sizes, and that you are what you believe yourself to be.
The junior section took us into the heart of the African wilderness with
'Red Africa', bringing to light the current situation through pulsating,
colorful dances and very impressive acting by the young ones. Significant
issues of land being snatched from the aborigines and animals killed by
hunters, disrupting the natural cycle of life were addressed as the tribals
stood up for their rights.
And from Africa we were transported to
South America through 'The Treasure Hunt'. Written by the students of the
middle school, the play was an enthralling story of five friends traveling
across Latin America, in search of a modern El Dorado.
And reflecting the rich and colourful cultures of the countries they
travelled through, there was music, dance, food and fun. Soccer fans had
their share of excitement with an on-stage soccer match. But behind the fun,
there was this underlying moral that treasure need not always be material
but it could also be the diverse experiences presented to one through life.
Rabindranath Tagore's 150th birth anniversary was commemorated by the high
school students who presented his poem 'Bharat Tirtha'.
It was a part of a larger presentation, named 'Rhythms Around the World',
that had Indians welcoming the Koreans, Thai and the peoples of the West
to our fabulous land. Celebrating the deep and diverse culture of India
through various forms like Bharatnatyam, Rabindrik and Kathak, we honored
the guru by fulfilling his dream of the world coming together.
The Koreans presented one of their breathtakingly
beautiful traditional dances 'Onara' and then showcased
a time shift to the present where their culture is now
influenced by the West. Similarly, the Thai group
presented 'Ponglang', a traditional dance, after which
they presented Thai-Pop. The Western Group saw the
coming together of the age-old ballroom, ballet and
modern hip-hop. Side by side with these mesmerizing
performances by the seniors, we were rest assured that
even though times are changing that there will always be
respect for our cultures and mostly, we will stand
together as one.
The A Levels got the audience to 'Twist and Twirl' to the sounds of the new
age. Broadway, Bollywood, Hip-Hop all in one stage, with a flamboyant
display of talent and creativity. It was, at the same time, a comment on the
modern world, underscoring individuality and the spirit of freedom, which
the school encourages all the way.
The Prize Distribution ceremony introduced the audience to the honorable
chief guest for the evening, Professor Krishna Bose, distinguished
educationist and member of the illustrious Netaji Subhas Bose family. An
accomplished writer, parliamentarian and academician herself, she gave a few
insights, during her speech, into the importance of discipline in a
student's life along with education.
The prizes and scholarships were then announced and students felicitated by
Prof Bose on their academic achievements. And on a note of achievement with
greater success waiting to be achieved, the evening came to an end.
September 2010 :
TCS students have again triumphed by winning
Cambridge Brilliance Awards.
This years winners are Anwesha Majumdar in Sociology and Raunaq Bagchi in Computing. This is the third consecutive year that TCS students have achieved these distinctions
TCS warmly congratulates the toppers!
February 2010 :
The seventh
WinterFest of The Cambridge School held at
Vidya Mandir, celebrated the story of evolution. And
through their presentations the three sections of the
school – the junior, middle and senior schools depicted
the progression of the three historical periods - the
ancient, the medieval and the modern.
The Principal, Mrs. Nonda Chatterjee, welcomed parents
to the programme at the outset and referred to the many
academic distinctions achieved by students and the plans
for the coming year which include offering undergraduate
courses of the London School of Economics.
The opening sequence by the kindergarten recreated the
prehistoric world of dinosaurs of different shapes and
sizes and chronicles the tale of their extinction. We
were also introduced to the Nutcracker Man leading a
wild and happy existence, but leaving a wealth of advice
for the citizens of today.
The Junior School presented five great ancient
civilizations that shaped the modern world - the
Mesopotamian, the Egyptian, the Chinese, the Aryan and
the Greek. Each of these were represented by vibrant and
colourful dances to some very characteristic music
belonging to each of these peoples. Along the way, the
distinctive features and unique contributions of each
are highlighted.
At this point there was a very impressive martial arts
display by three young Korean students to mark the
passing of a period and the birth of another.
The Middle School took a different look at the medieval
world, throwing a few characters together in a spirited
interaction and looking at them through modern lenses.
The presentation was a mini-musical, drawing inspiration
from some of the greatest hits of Broadway, but served
with a dash of tongue-in-cheek humour.
In a wonderful cocktail of varied elements the IGCSEs
took a look at the modern world. The journey of the
earth from the first breath of creation when the
elements were busy stirring life into the planet, to the
continuing drama of the modern human mind, the saga
continues endlessly…
And amidst all this passage of time the joy of loving is
a constant, one that has nurtured mankind through the
ages. The A-levels give expression to this joy through a
riot of music and dance.
Many prizes, awards and scholarships were then given
away by the Chief Guest, Mr Aniruddha Roychowdhury,
whose film 'Antaheen' was recently nominated as the best
film of the year.
Among the winners were three recipients of
Brilliance Awards, conferred by the University of
Cambridge, UK for scoring the top marks in India in five
subjects. Students who won the Cambridge Brilliance
Awards were the felicitated. The Cambridge Brilliance
Awards are given by Cambridge University, UK, to
candidates who score the highest marks in different
subjects in board-exams. There are more than 200
Cambridge-affiliated schools in India including such
well-known ones as Dhirubhai Ambani World School, Ecole
Mondial and the Mallya Aditi World School. These awards
therefore are great achievements ~ this year, as many
as three TCS students have been given these Cambridge
Brilliance Awards for scoring the highest marks in India
in as many as five subjects.
The programme ended by felicitating Rudrajit Banerjee,
recipient of the first
Manmohan Singh scholarship.
The Manmohan Singh Undergraduate Scholarship programme
was established in 2009 in honour of India's Prime
Minister who graduated from the University of Cambridge
with a First in Economics in the late 1950s, and who was

31 January 2009:
A colourful mosaic of plays, dances and musical
performances by the students of classes Nursery through
12 marked the sixth
Winterfest of The Cambridge School, held on
Saturday, 31st January at Uttam Mancha. The
theme this year was
Mythasia and each presentation connected with the
theme in many different ways.
The evening began with a musical
by the school band with a medley of song and musical
pieces. Mrs. Nonda Chatterjee, Principal then gave her
welcome address in which she drew attention to the
outstanding academic achievements by the students of the
school in the board examinations. The chief guest for
the evening was the widely popular film actor Mr.
Sabyasachi Chakrabarty who told the audience with
disarming candour that he was an average student in the
school. He many things to say about the present improved
system of education and the extra-bright children of
The very first presentation was the Ramayana by the
children of the Nursery and the Kindergarten and they
straightaway stole the hearts of the audience (and most
of show too) with the spirited rendition of the age old
epic. From Jatayu who so enjoyed his fight with Ravana
that he refused to die, to the clash of titans with Ram
and Ravana battling each other holding onto to their
dangerously-close-to-coming-undone dhotis, the TCS
babies were simply adorable!
The Junior School enacted a beautiful Thai myth called
the Sunbird, about a
mythical sunbird who is imprisoned by a vain neurotic
king and then freed by a group of children. A swirling
colourful rainbow dance rounded off a perfectly flawless
presentation. The Middle School journeyed further east
and brought on stage an old Korean creation myth about
the origin of the sun and the moon. A simple story was
embellished with a mix of traditional and modern dances…
a breathtakingly beautiful fan dance, a creative and
spirited torch dance and a spectacular sword dance. The
villain of the piece, a bloodthirsty tiger, gave a
rip-roaring performance.
Moving on to the
Senior School, classes 8 – 10 scripted and staged a
modern myth. The Sign, which was an interesting
interaction between the world of humans and spirits and
contained a message for humans to take stock of the harm
they were causing the environment. The dialogues were
thought provoking and the costumes colourful and
creative. Then an absolutely delightful dance, to the
hugely popular number Pretty Girl, was performed by a
group of girls from class 9. The choreography, fluid
movements and total involvement made his a real treat of
an item.
The AS section
(Year 11) took the audience to the
Day of Judgement with their play prophetically
titled "The Apocalyse."
Good and evil, in symbolic white and black, confronted
each other to redeem a "lost" soul …and then threw up
some powerful performances.
In the last section, the show came full circle with the
A2 (year 12) going back to the Ramayana and giving voice
to Sita in conjunction with Draupadi form the
Mahabharata. Their anguished cries of injustice echoed
with the hurt helplessness of woman down the ages. In
complete contrast was a very modern interpretation of
Cupid and Psyche's experience of Love at first Sight –
fun to the last effervescent bubble!
Every year the Winterfest concludes by rewarding
academic achievement through prizes and scholarships.
This year the trophies were given away at the beginning
by the chief guest and the rest of the prizes were given
away by the Principal at the end of the show.
26 November 2008 :
Keshav Bhajanka, Class of 2007, has topped Finance

prize sponsored by UBS. He is featured at

20 November 2008 :
As many of four of our students at A Levels have

highest marks in India in

Science, Business Studies & Humanities.
The winners are Chandan Agarwal for A Level Accounting,
Rudrajit Banerjee for A Level Physics, Traon Pongsopon
for AS Level Psychology and Ayush Toolsidass for AS

Cambridge has more than 210 affiliated schools in India
now including such long-established and prestigious ones
as Dhirubhai Ambani World School. Ecole Mondiale,
International School Bangalore, Hebron School Ooty, and
Mallya Aditi International School. It is certainly the

TCS warmly congratulates the toppers!

2 February 2008 :
Annual Winter Fest of The Cambridge School began
with much pomp and gaiety on 2nd February,
Saturday, at Uttam Mancha. Environmental Awareness was
the theme for the event.
The welcome address given by Mrs. Nonda Chatterjee,
Principal, reviewed the attainments of students in a
year of distinctive academic achievements. She also
related to the audience the story behind the
environmental awareness theme and how the entire school
had come together to contribute. She finished by
outlining plans for the ongoing year which include a
web-based student magazine, the use of more digital
resources in teaching, and a possible tie-up with
another school in another country.
The keynote address was then delivered by
the noted environmentalist Mr. Subash Dutta. He narrated
his experience in fighting for green causes and advised
students to do their own little bit in many different
ways to save the environment. He also clarified his
role in the ongoing saga about the relocation of the
book fair.
The first item of the evening was performed by Classes
Nursery, Lower and
Upper Kindergarten. They
sang Earth Songs - Happy Earth,
Sad Earth & Save Earth – and enjoyed themselves
thoroughly when doing so!
Classes I - V then
enthusiastically performed a play called '
The Crazy Scientist '. The
play was about how a scientist who has been locked-up by
the authorities because she was trying to conserve the
environment. The kids helped her out of the lock-up and
supported her cause.
'Loot', a
Mimes, Music, and Dance sequence was a splendid
performance by Classes VI, VII, & VIII. 'Loot'
was about how the earth is being ransacked and depleted.
Students danced beautifully to the tune of a bengali
folk song.
It was followed by 'Is
Reconstruction Possible?' performed by girls of
class VIII who danced to the famous western number 'Superstar',
and the boys who moved to the beats of the popular Ricky
Martin track 'Drop It On Me'.
Staying with the theme of Global Warming,
students of Class IX recited a poem, Pollution Galore!
They had written the poem themselves and it was about
pollution, its causes and effects.
'The Village',
a play, was then enacted by Classes IX and X. This play
grew out of the daily discussion on current affairs,
particularly the land-grab situations prevailing in West
Bengal, during Assembly. The script was directed and
written by the school's drama teacher, Shuktara Lal, and
the students.
The 'A' Levels the
performed the Tandav dance - the dance of destruction.
The students choreographed the dance themselves and it
was perhaps the best, almost professional, performance
of the evening.
The finale was a play written, directed
and starring the students of 'A'
Levels. It was a witty and unconventional take on
consumerism and its effect on the global climate
featuring a mesmerising PowerPoint presentation on Santa
Claus and his elves The play showed how the spirit of
Christmas had gradually changed into a feast of
The evening ended on a high note when
prizes and scholarships were handed out. In a novel

The fruit of three months of labour culminated in a
series of exciting events on Friday, November 23. The
whole of The Cambridge School — right from the
Kindergarten to Class XII — participated in a global
warming awareness programme initiated by the Indian
Chamber of Commerce.
The programme kicked
off with an enthusiastic song-and-dance performance by
the neighbourhood children, along with students of
Classes XI and XII. This was followed by Classes V-VII
providing creative interpretation of the deterioration
of the environment, while students of Class IX conveyed
their message and concerns involving the many dangers
via elocution and songs. Classes I to IV took part in a
walk to warn people about the dangers of global warming.
A large portion of
the learning experience was recorded on innovative
models and charts, displayed on the school boards and

global warming worldwide, its adverse effects and means
of prevention in our city and daily lives.

Today I ended my first week on the South Beach Diet. Lost 3 Pounds!!!It has not been the easiest diet to make meals from for me. But, I am getting better at it. I weighed this morning and I weighed 197. I had my youngest daughter take this picture. No make up and I really need a shower, but this is me.
I went to Tennessee last week to visit my sister and her family. When I got home I was disappointed to see that I was up to 200 again. But, I just decided to get back on track doing Phase 1 of South Beach. WOW! It has made such a difference in my life. I am no longer craving foods....it is amazing. I went from heading home just wishing I could eat fries (which I never got) and then going to Phase 1 and not wanting them a bit. Yesterday I really was even that hungry. So, I am pleased. I finally found some Fat Free Ricotta cheese, so I can start making those Ricotta Desserts that everyone says they hate...I don't hate them at all, I think they are so good.
Something I have been doing this year to keep me from hitting the drive thru is meal planning. I really think the meal planning is keeping me on track on my eating. Here was my plan this week.
Monday: Grilled Chicken Breast chopped on Red and Green Lettuce Salad with 2% cheese, light cottage cheese, olives, and ranch dressing.
Tuesday: Beef and Broccolli served on Cauliflower "Rice" and shredded cabbage.
Wednesday: Spaghetti with ground turkey, onions, and bell peppers served on Spaghetti Squash with green beans
Thursday: We have to eat leftovers so they won't spoil
Friday: Top Round Cubed for Steak Tacos. Onions, Bell Peppers, and Cheese with iceburg lettuce wraps. Served with Pinto Beans
Saturday: Meatloaf (no bread, just egg whites), Cauliflower with Cheese, Lima Beans
Sunday: leftovers again....maybe some sort of soup.
It is all about the planning. I am eating leftovers at lunch, while the family is still eating tuna sandwiches mostly.
So, my plan is set and I am following. The whole family enjoys looking on the fridge to see what is for supper.
One last thing, I just want to say that this is a very good week for me. I am having a time with being sick, but I am not having food cravings or crazy hungriness. However, the week before my period, I have seriously bad PMS. I crave foods, I am hungry all the time, and my patience is so....GONE. This leads to binging and being rude and irritable. So I am just saying that come...Saturday February 25, I may find myself struggling. That is just 9 days away for me. So, for now I will try to blog while I feel good about it. Maybe the South Beach will help with the PMS. I have always had PMS, but more the last 5 years. Once my period starts, I have a lot of pain, but I am not craving food that week or grouchy. Just feeling awful bad. But, this week...it has been a great week for me.
Yesterday I started my Exercise routine and it felt really good. I am even a little sore today, the good kind of sore. I did the Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds 1 Mile this morning. Yesterday I did the 12 Second Sequence and it was really hard for me. I posted the exercises in my fitness journal and they don't look too bad when you just read them. Not so for me doing them. The push ups were really hard. Then one where you prop on the ball and do backward bendies... I don't remember the name of it. Well it felt really tough for me.
My weight is still up from my Thursday WI, last Thursday I was 196.2 (starting weight 205) and this weekend I slacked. I weighed 198.6 on Sunday morning. This morning I was 197.4 so it is coming back down. Looks like by Thursday I will be lucky if I even maintained. But I am back on track and that is the point. I just want the scale moving in the 'down' direction.
I had a great supper last night and I wanted to share it. Take a look at my public journal if you want. It was baked chicken breast with 1/2 cup of whole wheat spaghetti pasta and 1/2 cup of Bertolli Garlic Alfredo, 1 cup of cauliflower baked with 1 tsp of canola oil and 2/3 cup of mixed vegetables. I used have the alfredo on my pasta and chicken and the other half on my cauliflower. It was really really good. The family ate it too, except my 13 yr old did pick out the green beans from her mixed vegetables (she doesn't like frozen green beans). That is okay, everyone ate the cauliflower and that is great to me. They also added a slice of bread with butter to their meal. Later they all ate light icecream, I could have too, but I was really wanting some popcorn. I had my little bag and was very satisfied with that and a Diet Cola (some generic I bought at ALDI...not as good as Coke Zero, more like Diet Coke). It was a good day yesterday and I am ready for a good day today.
My menu plan for tonight is super easy. Leftover chicken and pasta, so I am just going to do the same meal again. Hope it is great!
I know this will sound fickle, but I am going to count carbs instead of points. I talked to my SIL, "SoxsMom", who has lost a lot of weight this year and she said that exercise was THE key to her success. She recommended that I purchase the Leslie Sansome's WATP DVD at Target and to limit my carbs to under 45 grams at each meal. I didn't ask her about snacks, so I am going to use my kefir for snacks - I know that carbs are low 4 to 8 grams per cup depending on how long it ferments.
I am also going to start the 12-second Sequence workouts on Mondays and Thursdays. These are strength training exercises that are done at home. The first 4 weeks are done with weights and an exercise ball... and that I already own. The second 4 weeks uses a Total Gym thingy and I don't have that. I will just redo the first 4 weeks or find something good on Sparkpeople.
This morning, I did just the one mile walk on Leslie Sansome's DVD. It felt good to move. I have read that more fat burns if you do aerobic exercise before breakfast so I am going to always try for that time, but if I can't I will still be getting in my walking. It was nice to walk in the house.
The other thing that SoxsMom said was to go for 7500 steps each day. I went to Dollar Tree to buy a pedometer and the stupid thing broke when I put it own my shoe. AND not broke on the clip, broke on the LCD display. Stupid Dollar Tree junk. I should have KNOWN. So, for now I am just shooting for getting up and about more and doing the exercise. I am doing a load of laundry and a load of dishes in the dishwasher. I will have some folding and putting away and drying and putting away to do soon. Plus I have my bed made up so pretty. Going to stay active. I need to dust my bedroom today, so that will be done too. Trying to be up and active. Going to be doing my 12-second Sequence at 2 pm this afternoon.
I feel good to be moving and working on a good plan. I need to get a good before picture and I will have to get one of my girls to take a picture of me. Good way to see the progress too.
Hello! Welcome to my blog. Here is where I am going to write about my weight loss. I am counting points�old Weight Watchers points. I lost weight before on Weight Watchers online. Then Points Plus came and I just couldn�t get into it. I quit and tried to just eat healthy�but then I couldn�t keep my weight down. In the two years since Points Plus, I have just given up and regained my weight. I went back to the meetings in September, but I just don�t like Points Plus. The whole time I was going to meetings, I lost (and gained) and relost until I quit at a total loss of 4 pounds. So PP doesn�t work for me. It just isn�t intuitive like the old Points. I have resisted going solo, but I have decided to try it. I will do the best I can. I have a notebook and I am writing my food in by hand. At first, I thought it would be tough, but so far so good. I am really enjoying it. I have the old dining out books and I have the internet. Now I have my blog to keep me honest. Check back in and I will keep you posted.

Depeche Mode Cancel Even More Shows
By Tom Breihan on May 20, 2009 at 6:10 p.m. EDT
Eastern Europe's Depeche Mode fans keep on losing. Last week, singer Dave Gahan's battle with stomach flu forced the band to cancel shows in Greece, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Croatia. And today, word came down from the Depeche Mode website that the band would have to cancel three more shows. Sorry, Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania!
According to the Depeche Mode website, "Doctors have advised that more time is needed to allow singer Dave Gahan to fully recover from his recent illness and ensure that the tour can resume shortly." At some point, the band will make an announcement about whether these shows will be rescheduled or whether they're just cancelled.
The entire Latvian synthpop massive will now go sulk somewhere. Check here for Depeche Mode's updated itinerary.
Depeche Mode Cancel More Dates
By Tom Breihan on May 14, 2009 at 2:10 p.m. EDT
People are people, and sometimes they get stomach flu and have to cancel their European arena shows. On Tuesday night, Depeche Mode singer Dave Gahan was rushed to a Greek hospital just as his band was about to take the stage in Athens. According to a statement, "a severe bout of gastroenteritis" was to blame for the cancellations of that show and another one in Istanbul, which was scheduled for tonight.
And now Depeche Mode have cancelled four more shows due to Gahan's illness. A press release mentions "further complications" and adds that "Dave is currently undergoing further tests."
Fans in Bucharest, Sofia, Belgrade, and Zagreb will have to wait a little while longer to sing along to "Personal Jesus". (As if life wasn't hard enough for Croatian synthpop fans already.) The band will announce later whether those shows will be rescheduled.
Depeche Mode are still in the midst of their massive Tour of the Universe. Later in the summer, if all goes as planned, they'll make it to the U.S. for a number of shows, including a headlining set at Lollapalooza. Below, we've got the band's updated tour schedule, with many more dates added in the fall.
Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan Recovering From Stomach Flu
By Tom Breihan on May 13, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. EDT
Especially given that the guy doesn't exactly have a history of healthy living, it was worrisome to read the news that Depeche Mode singer Dave Gahan had been rushed to a Greek hospital yesterday just as he was supposed to start a show.
We now have word on what felled Gahan. According to an official statement, Gahan was suffering from "a severe bout of gastroenteritis," aka stomach flu.
The Athens show was cancelled, and Depeche Mode won't make it to their show in Istanbul tomorrow night either. The band will soon announce whether they intend to reschedule those shows. According to a press release, "At this stage, Dave's primary concern is to return to full health and resume the tour as soon as possible."
Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan Rushed to Hospital in Greece
By Amy Phillips on May 12, 2009 at 6:10 p.m. EDT
Reuters (via Billboard) reports that Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan was rushed to the hospital in Athens, Greece today, right before he was supposed to play a show.
A crowd of 20,000 had gathered at Athens' Terra Vibe Park to see Depeche Mode perform, but were instead greeted with a message from one of the event's organizers: "We regret today's performance has to be canceled...David Gahan fell ill in his dressing room."
No word on what, exactly, the illness is.
Depeche Mode are on tour in support of their new album Sounds of the Universe.

Sculpted In Stone Lyrics - Dies Irae
The time has gone
And everything looks old,
The clocks have stop
Life could be reformed.
The past returns
With anger, fear and war,
Evil comes to bring the world
It's berserk force.
Maybe it will kill all our faith,
All our gods,
Or maybe it comes to take
Our lost souls.
Hardering my bones
Like a lonely bath
That embraces my wounds.
Oh grateful darkness
How can I evoke you?
Stairs to the sky
Of a black forest ride.
Whispers float
Frightening my bones
Like empty words
Like a maniac noise.
My soul could be
Sculpted in stone
And stay alive
In a forbidden land.
The past returns
With envy, greed and lust
Evil comes to bring the world
It's life restored.

DENVER -- As the Dodgers were taking the field for the bottom of the fifth on a stormy Sunday afternoon at Coors Field, a deafening clap of thunder froze them in their tracks. Some were ready to join the fans in the rush for cover.
But the game played on, and in the top of the sixth, it was Los Angeles shortstop Hanley Ramirez who brought the thunder with a solo homer that flew over the concourse beyond the left-field bleachers, an estimated 461 feet from home plate. That set off a four-run frame for the Dodgers, after which the umpires called for a rain delay. There was no resumption play after a 1-hour, 35-minute delay, and the Rockies took a 6-1 rain-shortened loss in front of 38,111.
The Rockies (29-33) dropped two of three to the Dodgers and would need a four-game sweep of the Braves this week to go .500 on their 10-game homestand, scheduled to continue on Monday night.
Rain began before first pitch, and the Dodgers sloshed to two runs -- Jorge De La Rosa (6-5) walked Chone Figgins and Ramirez to start the game, and Matt Kemp tripled with one out.
From there De La Rosa would find his water level and strike out eight in 5 1/3 innings. But that final third of an inning is one he has to wish had never been played. Figgins led off with a lineout, Ramirez hit his 10th homer of the season, then De La Rosa walked Adrian Gonzalez and Kemp.
Reliever Matt Belisle waded into the game, struck out Scott Van Slyke, then gave up a two-run Jamie Romak double and a one-run Miguel Rojas single. The game was halted when the half-inning ended. Since the stats counted, Romak and Rojas each earned their first Major League hits and RBIs.
De La Rosa threw seven innings in his previous start but absorbed a 4-2 loss to the D-backs. Now De La Rosa has suffered two straight losses at Coors for the first time since losing his first six starts there, back in 2005. The Rockies have dropped two straight De La Rosa starts for the first time since July 29 and Aug. 3, 2013.
It's also the second time in De La Rosa's last three starts at Coors Field in which rain has been a factor. He threw three hitless innings against the Giants on May 22 before that game was suspended.
Dodgers lefty starter Clayton Kershaw (5-2) struck out nine in five innings and held the Rockies to three hits. One of those hits, however, was Troy Tulowitzki's first-pitch home run -- his 17th dinger of the season -- to lead off the fourth inning.

Sprint is First Telecommunications Company to Join Better Buildings Challenge
Sprint, Macy's and Johnson Controls are joining the Better Buildings Challenge.
The companies will upgrade more than 200 million square feet of building space to cut energy use by at least 20 percent by 2020.
These steps support President Obama's goal of cutting energy waste from homes and businesses in half over the next two decades, announced in his State of the Union address last week.
Each year, the US spends about $200 billion to power commercial buildings – and another $200 billion to power industrial facilities, according to the US Department of Energy. In 2011, President Obama launched the Better Buildings Challenge and the Better Plants Challenge to help commercial and industrial buildings become at least 20 percent more efficient over the next decade.
Based in Overland Park, Kan., Sprint has secured five percent of its total energy use from renewable energy – including wind, solar, geothermal and hydrogen fuel cells. Sprint is now the first telecommunications company to join the Better Buildings Program, and the company is increasing its absolute electrical energy reduction goal from 15 percent to 20 percent by 2017.
Based in Milwaukee, Wis., Johnson Controls has reduced the energy intensity of its US manufacturing plants by 25 percent from 2002 to 2008. Johnson Controls commits to an additional 25 percent energy intensity reduction in its 71 US manufacturing plants covering 16 million square feet through 2019.
Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, Macy's has pledged to reduce energy use in 179 million square feet of its commercial real estate. Macy's has engaged in energy reduction measures through the development and use of its Energy Information System to monitor, analyze, and target key energy opportunities. Macy's is also retrofitting with LED technology for accent lighting, replacing over one million lamps over the last three years and reducing the energy used for this lighting by more than 70 percent.

Associated Press
SCRANTON, Pa. — Unions representing workers in the northeastern Pennsylvania city of Scranton expect to file a federal lawsuit against the city after the mayor abruptly cut their pay to minimum wage.
The attorney for three unions, including firefighters and police, tells The Times-Tribune of Scranton he expects to file several legal actions, including a motion to hold Mayor Chris Doherty in contempt of court for violating a judge's order to pay full wages.
Doherty last week cut the pay for about 400 employees to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. He says it was the only way for the cash-strapped city to pay bills, and promises to restore pay once finances are stabilized.
Doherty is locked in a dispute with Scranton's city council over a financial recovery plan as it faces a $16.8 million budget deficit.
