Sri Sampradaya
|Part of a series on
Sri Vaishnav Sampradaya or Sri Vaishnavism is a Vaishnava sect within Hinduism. Its origin and codification is generally traced back to Sri Mahalakshmi, the eternal consort of Lord Vishnu. Around the 10th century a collection of the devotional hymns and songs by Alvars was organized by Sri Nathamuni, who is considered to be one of the pioneers of the sect.[1] Nathamuni appeared as the pioneer who wrote Sanskrit works systematizing the Sri Vaishnava theology, largely in debate with Gauttama philosophy of Buddhism. He was followed by Yamunacharya a celebrated grand-teacher of Ramanujacharya.[2] Alavandar (Yamunacharya), like Ramanuja, focused both on philosophical debates like dvaita vs. advaita and bhakti prayers and the works attributed to him are in Sanskrit although he codified the heritage of the Tamil alvars. Works attributed to him are In this tradition Vishnu is believed to be the source of all avatars. Vishnu is the name of God in the whole Vaishnavism and he is also known as Narayana, Vasudeva and Krishna and behind each of those names is a divine figure with attributed supremacy in Vaishnavism and each associated tradition believed to be distinct historically.[3] The Iyengar Brahmins are followers of Ramanuja sampradaya, and two sects, namely Vadakalai and Thenkalai exist among them.[4] Sri Vaishnavism is a sub-denomination of Vaishnavism and a philosophical system of thought culminating in the philosophy of Visishtadvaita espoused by Ramanujacharya.[5] Followers of Sri Vaishnavism, as Vaishnavas, generally worship Vishnu as the supreme God.[6]

Earlier sources do not mention Sri, the consort of Vishnu. Sri becomes part of Vishnuism at a later stage and apparently Sri was worshiped independently before her cult was integrated into Vaishnavism. Now she is considered inseparable from Vishnu, who carries the mark of sri-vatsa, ineradicably representing Sri, his consort. In later Gaudiya traditions she is identified with Radha.[7] The prefix Sri is used for this sect because they give special importance to the worship of the Goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Vishnu, who they believe to act as a mediator between God and man.[6] A major portion of Sri Vaishnava theology is based upon this tenet.[6]

Perceptually-Based Joint-Program Audio Coding
Some digital audio broadcasting systems, such as Satellite Digital Audio Radio Services (SDARS), transmit many audio programs over the same transmission channel. Instead of splitting up the channel into fixed bitrate subchannels, each carrying one audio program, one can dynamically distribute the channel capacity among the audio programs. We describe an algorithm which implements this concept taking into account statistics of the bitrate variation of audio coders and perception. The result is a dynamic distribution of the channel capacity among the coders depending on the perceptual entropy of the individual programs. This solution provides improved audio quality compared with fixed bitrate subchannels for the same total transmission capacity. The proposed scheme is non-iterative and has a low computational complexity.

Summary: When Jacoby and Myers made it big with their low-budget legal services and prolific advertising, the business of practicing law was forever changed. This book provides great insight into that continually expanding boundary between professionalism and commercialism.Technology, the expansion of a service-based economy, and the entry of more and more women into the legal profession have had a dramatic effect on the day-to-day business of practicing law. Carroll Seron's discerning examin ...show moreation of the work lives of solo and small-firm attorneys, in contrast to large corporate firms, considers how the small legal entrepreneur must balance professionalism with commerce.The men and women in Seron's book detail a range of creative strategies for getting business, organizing work, and serving clients. What emerges is a multifaceted picture of everything from the day-to-day grind to ways that individuals have expanded or, conversely, scaled down or specialized their practices. Most illuminating is Seron's exploration of the gender differences in practicing law, acquiring business, getting promotions, and balancing personal and professional lives. While a large percentage of married women attorneys are also responsible for the bulk of home and child care, most married men attorneys have a support network at home, which gives them time to generate contacts at social and political functions. Author note: Carroll Seron is a Professor in the School of Public Affairs, Baruch College, and in the Department of Sociology, the Graduate Center, at City University of New York. Among her previously published books is Rationalizing Justice: The Political Economy of Federal District Courts (co-authored with Wolf Heydebrand). ...show lessEdition/Copyright: 96

Dear Lucky: How Do I Make My Manicure Last?
Q: How do I make a manicure last? I'm not a big fan of gel—I like a wider range of colors and textures. —Allison
A: Dear Allison,
The key is a clean nail. Ideally, a just-swiped-with-nail-polish-remover nail. Often people conduct pedicures with all manner of oil-intensive scrubs and lotions. If even a bit of that moisture or, God forbid, oil is left on your nail, welcome to chipsville. Or peelsville, for that matter. The remover ensures there's nothing at all left on your nail. If you are impatient like me, you will skip base coat, which is idiotic: It makes a huge difference. Similarly, you might skip the top coat like I always do—and like me, you'll have a manicure that lasts three days max. Base coat, top coat and at least one but possibly several very thin layers of color in between, and you could be looking at 10 days, barring serious nail disasters. Also pale or sheer colors appear to chip less because … you can't see the chips.

Rhys Duch winds up for a shot on Saturday In Minnesota (Photo: Scott Pierson)
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Looking for just a single win to earn a post-season berth, the Washington Stealth ran into a Minnesota team firing on all cylinders Saturday night, falling to the Swarm 12-5 before 7,830 at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.
For a Washington offense that at times has been stellar this season, including its performance in a three-game win steak leading up to Saturday's trip into the Twin Cities, the output was a disappointment.
"Our offense failed to show. We just had a terrible night," Stealth head coach Chris Hall said.
At one point after tying the game at 2-2 early in the second on a Mike Grimes goal, the Stealth went a full 32 minutes without scoring as Minnesota wracked-up six straight goals through the intermission and into the early minutes of the third to build an 8-2 lead.
From there the frustration only continued as not just Washington – but Minnesota faced brilliant goaltending.
"T-Rich stood on his head to keep us in it," Hall said on his goaltender's performance, which is becoming the norm night in and night out for the Stealth.
Richards, who faced 60 shots including 34 in the second half, only allowed seven goals through the third quarter.
His work included a double-stop on a breakaway by the Swarm's David Earl mid-way through the fourth, that in any other game would have been a momentum changer.
With Earl grabbing the ball on transition and running most of the floor, Richards denied the shot from just a few feet out, then turned his attention to the Swarm's trailer Jordan MacIntosh, who double pumped a shot on Richards that was also turned down. MacIntosh finished the night with five assists and 11 loose balls.
"I thought T-Rich was spectacular," Hall said. "He kept us in it while we tried to get the offense unstuck. But it never happened."
Swarm goaltender Tyler Carlson turned away 48 of 53 shots.
In the first, Washington opened scoring on a Dean Hill goal at 8:16 to take the early lead. Taking seven shots, it was Hill's only score of the night.
Minnesota responded with back-to-back Callum Crawford scores just over a minute later.
Following Grimes' tying goal at 12:15 of the first, the Stealth struggled over the next half-hour of play.
Trailing by four-goals to start the second half, Washington began the third with a five-on-three advantage but were unable to find the back of the net, while giving up a shorthanded goal, the only score by either team in the quarter, to Jay Card coming off the bench.
After Card's goal, the Stealth was never able to come any closer than five goals.
Offensively, the Stealth was led by Rhys Duch with two goals and two assists for four points increasing his season total to an NLL-best 33 goals this season.
The Stealth also received a fourth-quarter score from Lewis Ratcliff, who finished with two points on the night.
For the Swarm, Crawford led all scorers with four goals all of which came in the first half of play.
In the faceoff circle, the Stealth's Bob Snider was 11 of 20 for 55 percent, while MacIntosh was just nine of 19 for 47 percent.
With the Stealth scrapping and clawing their way into contention for the post season, Saturday's game marked a low-water mark in production since a 16-5 home loss to Edmonton last January and is just the fourth time in franchise history dating to stints in Albany and San Jose where the team have scored five or fewer goals.
Prior to the game, the Stealth activated its third round pick (21st overall) in this last year's NLL Entry Draft, Mitch Jones.
Jones, who spent the winter completing the collegiate hockey season at Northern Michigan University, delivered a solid performance, finishing with an assist and took two shots.
"I thought he was fine," Hall said of the 6-2, 185 pounder from Delta, British Columbia. "He didn't get a ton of shifts. But he got his feet wet. He looked like he fit just fine."
The Stealth, who fell to 7-5 on the season, still retain a half-game lead in the West with Calgary sitting idle but lost ground to both Edmonton and Colorado, which won their games, enjoy a bye-week before taking-on the Roughnecks at home on March 30.
"It's been a grind to get to here. (Tonight's game) was a disappointing loss going into the last games of the season," Hall said. "Our and goaltending and defense is rock solid, but our offense needs some work. I'm certainly looking forward to that first practice before the Calgary game."
The Stealth return home to Comcast Arena for a Saturday, March 30 contest with rival Calgary and the first leg of a home-and-home series with the Roughnecks. Game time is 6:45 p.m. PT.

High-throughput community sequencing approaches such metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and whole-genome sequencing have revolutionized the way microbial communities are sampled. We are only beginning to understand how gene content shapes microbial communities and what this means for microbial community structure and function. Many extant questions center around functional diversity, how biodiversity is maintained, and how communities adapt to change through either adaptive evolution or genetic drift. Here we invite presentations that show how insights into the gene content of microbial assemblages can help identify potential biogeochemical processes, lead to the discovery of previously unknown genes or functions, decipher complex community interactions, and explore sources and consequences of microbial biodiversity. We particularly encourage presentations that attempt to integrate these perspectives through novel applications of '-omics' techniques such as transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics.

My supervisor and I discussed this at length earlier in the week after I noted in conversation how many solicitations I was seeing for paper or presentation topics, requests for advice on handling specific situations on campus, and calls for help with preparing for campus interviews. I laud Twitter for the ability to gather information quickly, particularly sending out a request for best practices, but I'm admittedly uncomfortable when it feels like I'm being asked to do someone's job.
After thinking it about it more overnight — and letting the responses marinate a bit — I tweeted this earlier today:
This is what it boiled down to me: I'm happy to provide feedback. I'll proofread a cover letter, review a presentation, offer suggestions for beefing up a program proposal, share resources. I want to hear the initiator's ideas and plan before I share my own experience. And Deb Schmidt-Rogers nailed it on the head:
In my discussion with my supervisor, we talked about how ultimately the responsibility still falls on the employee. Even if 17 people on Twitter agreed about the best way to handle a situation, those 17 people don't receive performance appraisals from your institution and aren't accountable to your supervisor or your students. Additionally, the kindness of those trying to help is limited to 140 characters; they don't have the full scenario or situation and are filling in gaps in information with their own assumptions about what the situation is and what's already been done.
What now? My unsolicited tips for more effectively using Twitter as a resource:
- Ask for someone with whom to talk — e.g. I'm looking for someone who has developed a residential curriculum in #reslife. Anyone willing to chat? #SAchat
- Show you've done your work — e.g. I'm submitting an article on living-learning communities. Is there anyone willing to read a draft? #SAchat
- Be a partner in the project — e.g. I'm brainstorming outdoor concert ideas for spring. Can we schedule a G+ Hangout for people to share ideas? #SAchat
How do you use Twitter to seek advice or feedback for professional purposes?
Advice v. Feedback: The Pitfall of the Twitter Consult was posted on September 30, 2011 at 10:42 am in #sachat, Student Affairs and tagged as advice, feedback, social media, twitter. It was last modified on September 30, 2011 at 10:42 am. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. Responses are currently closed, but you can trackback from your site.
Here's my pet peeve. Someone on Twitter who clearly hasn't done the work and uses it as a crutch. For example: "Anyone have ideas for a large group icebreaker? I am doing one for a group of 100 students in an hour. #sachat"
I think you give some great, solid advice here.

I agree – the responsibility ultimately belongs to the person that's actually employed (or trying to be employed, or what have you).
But, on the other hand, I don't want to reinvent the wheel when I'm sure someone's done something already. We're all working to do more with less, and I can see the benefits in asking what other people have done for specific situations rather than starting from square one every time.
What Brian said really resonated with me – I have come to view Twitter as an amazing way to expand my network of colleagues and I respect their viewpoints and experiences. I want to learn from people I follow, and they often bring up issues I hadn't thought about.
That being said, I don't take twitter responses as gospel. It does give me a starting point to research more into the topic, though.
http://kristendomblogs.com Kristen
I'm not sure that I can truly respond without knowing what set you off on this, but I don't entirely agree with the whole idea that giving advice is doing someone's job. I actually think that in the creation of the #sachat community, we have empowered each other to have more than one place to seek advice and/or feedback, so that we have more options to choose from. There are times when I'm facing a problem at work and have sought advice from those around me to no avail. I appreciate having the Twitter network there to get additional ideas.
Do I think they should come up with my paper topic or presentation idea? No – frankly, it seems odd to me that anyone who has a good enough idea to share isn't already doing something with it on their own. But getting additional ideas on an issue or situation doesn't seem like a bad thing to me. Nor does it seem like they are doing my job. I agree that it ultimately comes back to my supervisor and me to decide the best course of action, but having some additional insight doesn't seem like a bad thing.
And I agree with Sarah – we're all trying to do more with less these days – why not avail ourselves of a resource that is easy to use and free? If our colleagues don't want to respond, that's fine, too. I think they shouldn't respond if it makes them feel uncomfortable.
And finally, I think that sometimes we ARE put in positions where we're unempowered – I have yet to meet the student affairs person who hasn't had a supervisor or colleague who has put us in that position at one time or another. So it is nice to be able to reach out to our other colleagues for support in those times. Again, they don't have to respond, but I don't feel that we need to judge someone based on that.
I think that your suggestions for more effective tweeting are great, too. These are very useful for those who are new to #SAChat and Twitter in order to guide them.
I agree, Stacy. I almost sent out a request this morning but realized that Twitter wasn't the appropriate forum to do so after reading this
That being said, it can also be rather sad when you put out a request for best practices or other information and no one responds. You have to wonder…"did I do this correctly?"
Joe Sabado
I've thought the same:) or this thought – if another person, more prominent in sachat perhaps, asked the same question, would it have received a response? But that's how if works in any medium anyways, I think.
As far as providing feedback/advice via DM/email after initial convo on sachat, I include a disclaimer of some sort that my pov may be limited or not accurate so consult with other folks. I leave it to the person asking the feedback/advice to ultimately decide on what to do with it.
http://ericstoller.com/blog/ Eric Stoller
For me, sometimes the most challenging aspect of a Twitter question is that they often lack focus. It's so easy to ask a question using 140 characters. However, the answers often require multiple paragraphs and a decent amount of time. I'm thrilled whenever anyone engages with those who follow the #sachat hashtag, but I wish that their questions were more focused, less vague, and didn't seem to be so "last minute."

I've had Botox 5 times and 3 of those times I had drooping eyelid. The last time very serious and lasted for 4 months. Could I be allergic, or is it more likely an error by the doctor administering it?
Drooping Eyelid Caused by Error or Allergic Reaction?
Doctor Answers (3)
Sounds like poor placement
I would definitely suggest trying a new injector, preferably a dermatologist or plastic surgeon that does a lot of injections. If the botox is diluted too much it can diffuse to the wrong areas. If you had facial plastic surgery, it change change the diffusion as well. I hope this resolves quickly for you.
Don't go to someone who regularly drops your eyelid with Botox
Dear MsKarenj
They say that once is an accident, twice is a coincidence but three times is a problem. In my recent BOTOX treatments, I had one patient with a slight upper eyelid weakness that lasted about two weeks. Your injector is regularly dropping your eyelid. The real question is why are you still going to this person?
Please find a reputable doctor who will treat you and not drop your eyelid. Maybe it is worth paying a little more and getting a doctor who knows what they are doing.
It sounds like this is associated with the botox injections. Allergy is unlikely. You should consider using a different injector next time to see if your results are different.

It's Reese's Senior Bowl week in Mobile, Ala.
Coaches, scouts and players alike flooded the Renaissance Riverview Hotel in Downtown Mobile on Sunday, January 19 as they gear up for what organizers say should be the best Senior Bowl week yet.
This year, the Senior Bowl is sponsored and named after Reese's, an international candy company. Organizers say that sponsorship has helped make the Senior Bowl bigger than ever.
"It puts a national brand, (makes) it a national game," explained Rob Lehocky, Director of Public Relations and Digital Media for the Reese's Senior Bowl, "having the Reese's brand is now going to be putting the Senior Bowl in stores across the country."
Senior Bowl Week started with a bang as players and other invited guests marched in a parade for players to experience what Mardi Gras revelry is all about.
Jimmie Ward, a native of Mobile and player for Northern Illinois, told FOX10 News he's thrilled to be coming home to play in the bowl.
"Words can't describe it, I was just so happy," he said in Sunday's Reese's Senior Bowl opening press conference, "if you grew up in Alabama, the main discussion is football."
Organizers say this year's Senior Bowl is expected to really put Mobile on the map.
"This is a kind of showcase for the city I think" says Lehocky. He adds "Here it's kind of viewed as a college game, but around the country this is a growing game. It's kind of a week to celebrate mobile, really see it shine."
Players report for weigh-in on Monday. Then the South Squad heads to Fairhope and the North Squad takes to Ladd-Peebles stadium for a two-hour practice session. The practice sessions are open to the public and free to attend. For a complete schedule, click here.

This 1949 tractor is still in regular use to pull a bushhog and keep down the brush in Northeast Arkansas. Soil is rocks up to football size mixed with clay, and the bushhog picks them up occasionally and turns them into potentially lethal missiles.
Look at the rock guard for the driver that my guys designed. It's pierced industrial steel, split electrical conduit, and those plastic ties. Hey, it works!!

Vintage Variety: Frank Muytjens of J. Crew at Home
At his country retreat in upstate New York, J. Crew menswear director Frank Muytjens keeps the past ever present
By Tim McKeough
Frank Muytjens's Master Bedroom
Although the house was originally built in the 1980s, the former owners, a talented cabinetmaker and a landscape designer, had completed extensive renovations. Today, it looks more like a meticulously maintained cottage from the early 20th century, thanks to the addition of details like cedar shingles on the exterior and wide-plank wood floors inside. Both former owners still work on the house—she has redesigned the gardens, while he has installed additional shelving to contain Muytjens's ever-expanding book collection. "In my mind, I'm always trying to figure out which is a city book and which is a country book," explains Muytjens. Many volumes have made the journey between his two residences more than once: "I still go back and forth."

Citrix Presentation Server, made by application delivery infrastructure provider Citrix Systems, now qualifies for Universal Service Fund Schools and Library Fund (E-Rate) discounts and funding when used to connect classrooms to the Internet and school networks.
Hearkening back to the days of mainframes, but with a 21st Century twist, the Presentation Server takes all Web browsing, e-mail and other network-focal applications off the desktop and centralizes them in a school's data center, where all actual computing takes place. Student mouse clicks and keyboard strokes are input for those hosted applications. Monitors display what the centralized apps send them. Think "thin client," and the value proposition of lower software costs and reduced need for desktop muscle becomes clear--especially to schools in cash-strapped districts.
That's where the E-Rate discounts come into play. Administered by the FCC's Universal Service Administrative Company, the Universal Service Fund's mission is to ensure telecom and network connectivity remains affordable to rural and low-income individuals, rural health care providers, and eligible schools and libraries. The program is funded via telecom carriers and their customers (peruse your next phone bill to see how much you're contributing).
E-Rate funds for schools and libraries fall under four service categories, telecom services, Internet access, internal network connections, and maintenance of internal connectivity. The discounts on eligible costs range from 20 percent to 90 percent, depending on the level of poverty and the urban/rural status of the area. Schools applying for the discounts need to provide additional resources, such as the end user equipment, software, and other network elements (such as the Citrix Presentation Server) necessary for student connectivity.

Mitt Romney finally clinched the Republican nomination on Tuesday, by clearing the benchmark of 1,444 delegates.
"The most important thing is, can Mitt Romney begin to articulate a more positive vision? We didn't see that during the primaries. He ran the most negative campaign in the history of American politics and the primaries. There was almost no affirmative statement about where he was going to take the country ... we are still waiting to see that part of the Romney campaign."
- Simon Rosenberg, a former adviser to Bill Clinton
Even though polling day is more than five months away, the general election campaign has already been in full swing for weeks, with both campaigns running a litany of attack ads.
Barack Obama's campaign has focused on Mitt Romney's career with the private equity firm Bain Capital, arguing it acted like a vampire, sucking the life out of companies and destroying jobs.
And Romney's campaign has run equally tough adverts highlighting what they would deem the failures of the Obama presidency.
Some on the right of the Republican Party, including Donald Trump, are also trying to reignite the so-called birther controversy, arguing that there are doubts that Obama was born in the US.
All of this, of course, feeds the unrelenting American news cycle, as the news anchors chew over the latest controversies with little examination of policy.
When Obama was elected in 2008 many thought his presidency would hail a new kind of politics - so what happened to hope and change?
"He [Romney] has come out to be very strong .... He has released a big education proposal right now ... he had a huge economic plan that Santorum and others were trying to mirror ... so this is not a lack of thoughtfulness or direction of where he wants to go as a nominee."
- Chris Henick, a Republican strategist
During the Republican primary campaign, the Democrats were almost making fun of the Republican candidates, saying that none of those candidates were any match for Obama, yet now the presidential race is very close.
The Real Clear Politics website has averaged seven recent national polls, giving Obama, with the support of 45.9 per cent of registered voters, a 2.3 per cent lead over Romney's 43.6 per cent.
And this lead widens to nearly five per cent in the battleground state of Ohio, with Obama at 47.2 per cent and Romney at 42.3 per cent.
But in another key state - Florida - Romney at 45.3 per cent has a narrow, half-point lead over Obama at 44.8 per cent.
So with the 2012 campaign in full swing are Obama and Romney both running campaigns based on fear? Are the campaigns being overly negative? And what is the best approach to win in November?
Inside Story US 2012, with presenter Anand Naidoo, discusses with guests: Simon Rosenberg, a former adviser to Bill Clinton and founder of the New Democrat Network; Chris Henick, a Republican strategist who served in the White House under George W Bush; and John Nichols, the Washington correspondent for The Nation magazine.
"There's no question that this is going to be one of the most negative campaigns in American history .... What's different about this one is that the Obama team, which is very professional, has learned from the past and they have learned that if you go soft against a hard-charging opponent, an opponent who is going to have a lot of money, perhaps even a money advantage ... you can be defined out of the game."

Hi All-
MJ has an evaluation with a new Occupational Therapist first thing in the morning and then her Neurology Appt in the afternoon. I am starting to get very nervous about both. The OT for what they may say ("she's functional enough" I HATE that term) and the neurologist because I have heard that he has the bedside manner of a rock (and my only other choice is Gainseville several miles away) Also, we are in the process of filling out our forms for MJ and I to get SSI which is a horribly long and humiliating process.....so I am kinda a mess if any of you have some Prayers and Pixie Dust I'd appreciate it.....I'll keep you updated as to what we learn.
The good news is that we have an awesome meet with a friend planned this weekend and we'll be in the MK for the 50th celebration of DL!

I think by now we can all agree that MILEY CYRUS is comfortable being naked. In fact, during the making of her"Wrecking Ball" video, she was more comfortable with the nudity than she was with the crying.
In a new interview she says, "For me, nudity has never been something that I've ever tripped about. I don't really see it the way everyone else sees it.
"I'd rather be naked in front of people than cry in front of people because I don't like showing weakness and that shows a lot of vulnerabilities.
"It was harder to be in that emotional state in front of so many people on set, rather than it just be about being naked."
Miley also says the sledgehammer-licking just sort of happened, after the director told her to, "look like you're in love with it." (Check out the interview here.)

If you have an email account, chances are you have received at least one scamming note. You are smart and you erase them. Laura's father was not; he responded. He fell into the abyss of "419", Nigerian slang for perpetrating a scam. In his novel, 419, Will Ferguson paints the fear and anger of lives dispossessed — those of both the scammed and the scammers.
With dexterous intricacy Ferguson inserts us into the stories of Laura, habitué of Northill Plaza in Calgary; Nnamdi, boy and man from a once-remote part of Nigeria; Amina, a destitute pregnant woman walking away from her identity; and, Winston, skilled self-taught Lagos internet scammer. That these stories converge without obvious contrivance is the Ferguson's triumph.
After their father's death, Laura's family is incensed that he was a victim of an internet scammer, to the extent of losing all his financial assets. Laura's mother leaves the mortgaged family home, moving into the basement of her son's large home in Springbank. Slowly the police convince the family that internet scammers are absolutely anonymous. There is no way they can recoup money sent via wire transfers to someone with innumerable aliases.
Laura, however, is an editor. She believes the pen is more powerful than the sword. Laura separates out a single writer of notes from the chaff of purported government officials and other veracity-inducing supporting actors. An author's errors and quirks leave an indelible signature. Laura seeks revenge.
Subtext to this well-woven tale is the question of whose morality is superior. The internet scammers self-justify their illegal trade as an extracting of revenge on white colonialists, even though the criminals pursue victims of any race with enthusiastic and perverse fairness. Plus, victims are greedy or they wouldn't respond, right? Nnamdi is a genuinely generous person who undertakes illegal tasks to survive and be part of his community. Amina has nothing; isn't she entitled to something in this world? Laura would rather be dead than accept her father's undeserved fate! Fate: is it cast in stone?

Christmas: First Christmas after separation
I am a 24-year-old single mom of an 18-month-old boy. This is our first Christmas since I separated from his father, and I'm getting depressed. I just don't seem to have the "spirit," and I'm worried about getting through Christmas without being a family. I feel overwhelmed with sadness.Question:
Gayle Peterson
Gayle Peterson, PhD, is a family therapist specializing in prenatal and family development. She is a clinical member of the Association... Read more
It is natural for you to grieve the loss of the family during this holiday, which is chock full of family associations and memories. Christmas brings up our deepest fantasies for fulfillment. And most people who are not going through a difficult life transition experience a let down after Christmas because the unconscious wish for fulfillment rarely meets the reality of the situation. This holiday is one of many "firsts" which will come up during this initial year of separation. But sadness and regret by no means imply that you are abnormal nor that you have made a mistake in judgment! You will experience loneliness, but you may find that leaning on others will help ease your pain.
If your own childhood memories reflect tensions and disappointment in family relationships, depression is likely to be compounded during this time. Or, if your childhood was relatively happy, you may yearn to return to a period of grace when you felt taken care of yourself. And since Christmas has so many associations to children and magic, it appeals to the child in us that wishes for something truly magical to occur -- especially when we are going through hard times. All of this can contribute to feelings of depression as you experience the family breakup more concretely during this period.
Begin to consider you and your son a family! Shop for a tree and warm the hearth of your home together. It is all right to allow time for sadness. In fact, plan to remember good times that occurred and accept the tears for the lost promise of a relationship you thought would last but didn't. Crying helps to release sadness so that you can begin to build a new sense of family. Tell yourself that by next year, you will be feeling better. But begin this year to establish some new rituals or continue old rituals with your son that will help you connect with each other through the holidays.
Call friends and relatives and invite them for an evening or afternoon of tree decoration. You may not feel high in spirits, but it is important that you create a Christmas for the two of you as a family. Make spiced cider and put on music. Keep it short, if you like. Two hours of threading popcorn to hang on the tree is enough to stimulate the neurochemicals that can be aroused through behavior towards enjoyment, even if you are not rejoicing. Do not expect yourself to be joyous, but create an atmosphere of warmth to aid your healing. "Heal" is derived from the Old English "hoelan," which means to synthesize or "make whole." Allow this season to be your season for healing.
Schedule your time over the holiday week so that you have a group activity. Christmas caroling groups may form through your local YMCA or other community organizations. Consider joining with carolers, and continuing activities you have enjoyed in the past. Stay in touch with friends and relatives. With your son, visit public places that are decorated, even visit with Santa, if it is convenient for you and not overly stressful. Keep your schedule simple so as not to fray your nerves, but sufficiently full to help you stay connected with the parts of the holiday season you have enjoyed.
Make plans so that you are not alone on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Be sure to plan a ritual with your son, and if he is with his father, make plans to be with friends or relatives. If this is difficult, consider a community project which involves you in giving to others at this time. Remember that your separation makes you eligible for future happiness you did not have in your previous family with your husband. It is natural to have regrets at this time, but realize that this first holiday represents a period of transition.
As the New Year approaches, you might also consider a ritual for acknowledging sadness and considering the changes you would like to see in your life in the next year. Perhaps taking a piece of paper and writing down the things from the relationship that were good and you want to keep, and the things in the relationship that made you unhappy enough to leave on separate pieces of paper.
Burn the pieces of paper that represent the things you want to let go of, and put the things you want to keep in a special place for safekeeping to reflect back on throughout the year ahead. Include things you want to bring into your life as well. You might do this ritual with a small group of friends where others are also contemplating things they would like to leave behind and New Year's changes they would like to embrace.
You are in the process of reestablishing a new definition of family. Do not underestimate the power of group activity and rituals during this holiday season. Rituals can offer us ways to digest grief that has no words and can help us to cope with sadness and loneliness. And connecting with groups during times of transition serves to carry our spirits when our hearts are too heavy for spontaneous rejoicing.
Remember, even Scrooge, in his lifelong depression, opened his heart when connections with people were finally reestablished!Answer:

WHY IT WORKS "The contrasts in finish between the shiny braid and the matte, brushed-out waves is really interesting," Abergel says of Jennifer Lopez's look. "Plus, the proportions are just right."
EXPERT TIP Abergel suggests thinking of this as a ponytail, not a braid. Secure your hair tightly at the back of your head just above ear level, then braid down to the bottom of your ear lobe. Tie it off with a second elastic, and wave the ends with a small curling iron. One word of wisdom: "This look won't work if you hair isn't longer than your shoulder blades," he says.Read MoreLess

Dan planted leeks towards the end of last summer, hoping they would over-winter and grow nice and big by spring. Because our growing season in Seattle is so short, we've learned that anything we put in the ground after May is going to have a difficult time. But, we had our fingers crossed for an Indian Summer since we
kind of got ripped of during normal summer (similar to the previous year). Although we did have a nicer-than-average fall, the leeks still didn't get very big. We decided to go ahead and dig them up before the snow and, although it wasn't a spectacular harvest, we ended up with more than enough for a nice pot of Potato Leek soup.
This simple, unassuming soup holds a lot of memories for me. I first ate it when my dear friend Pierre made it in South Korea in 1999. Whenever I craved something besides rice, soup and kimchee (which was often considering that Koreans eat some version of this 3 times/day), Pierre would come to the rescue. He would make himself at home in any kitchen, including my homestay in Chongup. My homestay mom LOVED him.
My last few months in Korea were spent teaching at Seoul Foreign School and at an adult English language academy (hagwon). At the time, I was living in a huge, Fulbright-owned house in the Pyongchang neighborhood in Seoul. I had roommates for a little while but as everyone went their own ways, I ended up all alone in that big house on top of a very steep hill. There was a tiny restaurant with sporadic serving hours and a little grocery store at the bottom of the hill, but gone were the days of 3 square meals provided by my homestay mom and school cook in Chongup. Some of the Fulbright gang would visit on the weekends, and Pierre was always my favorite guest. He taught me how to make this soup after first showing me how to balance an umbrella on your chin after spinning around several times with your forehead pressed against the end of the umbrella while the umbrella is planted on the floor.
Pierre is a genius in the kitchen and in life; I look forward to reading his autobiography some day. His mom is French Canadian and his dad is Korean. He's a Yale grad and earned his PhD in Medical Anthropology at McGill University in Montreal. He speaks French, Spanish, Korean, Russian and of course English (I'm probably missing another language or two). He likely speaks a bit of Creole as well since he frequently visits Haiti, where he's done a ton of research and volunteer work. He used to earn a living performing a variety of cultural dances in the subway stations in Montreal. He plays classical piano by ear. He's crafty, thoughtful, and hilarious. Within 30 seconds of meeting him after we landed in Seoul, I knew we'd be lifelong friends. Our 8 week language and culture orientation was held at Kangwan University in Chunchon, and in that short time most of our cohort of 24 grew very close, as we were all dealing with extreme culture shock. We took a lot of comfort in being 20-somethings, traveling, and conversing in our native tongue together. The group had great chemistry as a whole, but Pierre and I were particularly inseparable.
This lovely soup allows for plenty of experimentation. So much so that I'm not going to list exact measurements because it really doesn't matter if you have more leeks than potatoes or more potatoes than leeks. What matters is how you like to make it. It's even delicious in vegan mode. Twelve years later, here is Pierre's soup, all grown up and adorned with some non-Korean ingredients I keep on hand:
- 2 or 3 Tbsp butter, bacon grease, or olive oil…your fat of choice.
- 2-3 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, chopped. Because leeks get dirt in all nooks and crannies as they grow, I recommend chopping them up first, then rinsing the pieces off in a colander. Drain well.
- 4 or so medium potatoes, peeled and chopped, any type will do. I like Yukon Golds in this soup.
- Enough vegetable or chicken stock to cover everything plus 1/2 inch extra once it's in the pot, about 3 cups.
- Small handful of herbs…thyme, tarragon, basil, dill…whatever you love. Preferably fresh.
- About 1/2 cup of whole milk, half & half, cream, coconut milk (if you're going vegan). Use more or less, whatever suits your creaminess preference.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
Caramelize the leeks in the fat over med-high heat in a heavy pot, about 10 minutes. The edges should be nice and brown but not burnt. Adjust the heat to medium if it feels like they're browning too fast. Add the potatoes, herbs and broth. Stir, bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are soft. I like to use my immersion blender at this point to make the soup nice and creamy, leaving a few potato chunks. Add milk/cream and salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and finish with fun toppings: Bacon bits, a drizzle of white truffle oil*, breadcrumbs, pesto…whatever strikes your fancy.
I know I probably don't have to say it, but serve with good bread.
*I'm a truffle nerd, mushroom forager, and general fungus aficionado. Dan and I have been to the Oregon Truffle Festival a couple times and are going back again this year. Raw shaved truffles are the best thing to put on anything, but if you don't have these laying around (most mere mortals don't), a good-tasting oil will do just fine. One that I really like and recommend if you can come by it is the oil from Jack Czarnecki and the Joel Palmer House in Dayton, OR. If you're limited to shopping at a grocery store, a good rule of thumb is: The smaller and more expensive the bottle, the better the oil. If you think truffles look weird and are for dandies, you can substitute shaved parmesan which lends a delicious nutty finish.

Amazing insight into a world of which has one of the biggest impacts on all of our lives and yet honestly most of us including myself haven't a clue how it works on the technical side..I do believe that the Internet and all forms of computer technology will either be the reason this world will prevail and overcome all barriers and allow us to unite in saving us from ourselves or it will become the ultimate tool we create that will cause the destruction of humanity itself. I can't help but think that we in the "Now" are totally unable to contemplate what our technology will become in the next 100 200 years. Eventually our technology of today, will be creating its own future technology..and hopefully we will be allowed to stay the rare and unique anomaly we are but i truly believe it is ultimately up to us. Men like Cory help open our eyes and minds and i hope he and others like him will always continue to remind us of the things that truly matter.. I truly thank you all and always ..THINK Openly, SPEAK bravely and LIVE freely!
