Books in English language
The purpose of this booklet is to introduce the reader to the beauty and wonder of his or her own natural being. Sages say that our souls are each more brilliant and powerful than thousands of suns, and that we come to experience this by hearing from those who are self-realized. Secrets of the Undiscovered Self was kindly presented in the form of a discourse by such a selfrealized personality, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, a pre-eminent saint and one of the foremost teachers of divine wisdom in the present day. This discourse was given in March 2002, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Issuing from the divine mouth of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, the eight verses comprising this Śrī Śikṣāṣṭaka shine as the supremely radiant jewel of transcendental literature. They are the very essence of all the Vedas and a necklace for all Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas. This definitive edition, with the translation and commentary of Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja, features the soul-stirring commentaries of Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura and Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura.
In this book Siva Tattva, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja brilliantly clarifies the holy Hindu trinity: Brahma, Visnu and Siva. Empowered by his spiritual masters in the disciplic succession of the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition, he reveals the conclusive truth (tattva) of Lord Siva's original position and gives us a look into his endearing and affectionate nature.
The purpose of this sloka book is to help the devotees study, remember and meditate on slokas. Slokas are pathways to the spiritual world. Memorizing and meditating on slokas is an integral part of our sadhana-bhajana. Hearing and reciting them create spiritual impressions which help one to make progress in bhakti. (Please note the chapters are not in order in enclosed PDF file, however, you can search for page numbers.)
This pocket-sized, soft-bound book contains the most important verses from the book Śrī Ślokāmṛtam. It is an invaluable travelling companion, with each and every verse directing one's consciousness to the the spiritual world.
The Soul of Book Distribution contains Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja's appeal, inspiration, guidance and blessings in regard to the most essential practices that nourish our bhakti, namely śravaṇa (hearing, or reading) and kīrtana (chanting, or preaching).
By Sripada B.V. Madhava Maharaja
This book describes the all-auspicious life and teachings of Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja. It was written by his siksa and sannyasa disciple Sripada Bhaktivedanta Madhava Maharaja, who was his intimate personal servitor for nearly thirty years. It is the first volume of a planned multi-volume set.

It was written by his siksa and sannyasa disciple Sripada Bhaktivedanta Madhava Maharaja, who was his intimate personal servitor for nearly thirty years. It is the second volume of a planned multi-volume set.
What did Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī come to give? Because he understood the heart's desire of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, he was able to establish Mahāprabhu's mission on this earth. Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja, whose heart and soul are the teachings of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, distils the essence of those teachings in this nectarean monograph. From parakīya-bhāva and bhakti-rasa to the characteristics of uttama-bhakti and prema-bhakti, all are explained and defended.
A detailed and nectarean historical account of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svami Prabhupada's long-standing relationship with both his sannyasa-guru, Srila Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja, and Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja.
The guru-disciple relationship"Even Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, wants to be controlled by love and affection." - Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja
A compilation of essays which illuminate the subject of sri guru-tattva and glorify Gaudiya Vaisnava siddhanta.
Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, the very dear eternal associate of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, established Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's innermost desires in this world. He has compiled a scripture named Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi, which is replete with realization of the ultimate, most effulgent mellow of amorous love for Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the king of Vraja and the emporium of all rasa. Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura has taken the very essence of what was compiled by Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī in Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi and presented it in very simple and easily understandable Sanskrit language, just like putting the entire ocean in a pot.
This unprecedented edition contains the commentaries Srila Radha-ramana dasa Gosvami, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada. Translated from the Hindi edition of Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, Sri Upadesamrta gives instructions indispensable for practitioners of the devotional path. Without following these instructions, entering the realm of pure devotion and especially following the intricate and elevated path of spontaneous devotion (raganuga-bhakti) is not only difficult, but impossible.
Srila Rupa Gosvami, being Sri Gaurahari's topmost associate, was saturated with His mercy. As the acarya of transcendental rasa-sastras, he wrote invaluable literatures, including the most exceptional Sri Stava-mala, "A Garland of Prayers,"which was actually compiled later by Srila Jiva Gosvami. Utkalika-vallari, one of the flowers in this garland, is a poetic entreaty for the service of Sri Sri Radha-Krsna. Srila Rupa Gosvamipada's sweet devotion to unnata-ujjvala-madhurya-mayi-bhakti, "the brilliantly shining amorous mellow," is a honeybee whose delightful humming, here at its finest, has fully blossomed in this prayer. Utkalika means 'very intense eagerness mixed with extreme restlessness,' and vallari means 'creeper;' hence Utkalika-vallari means "The Vine of Intense Longings."
Vaisnava-siddhanta-mala was originally composed in the Bengali language by the incarnation of auspiciousness upon this world, om visnupada Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura who is to be included as an intimate member among the eternal associates of Sri Saci-nandana Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is the purifier of the age of Kali and the source of all incarnations.
Selected verses from the Vedic literatures have been assembled here to provide the reader with a comprehensive analysis of the question, "From whom should I inquire?"
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is the fully ripened, nectarean fruit of the desire tree of all Vedic literature, and within this Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, gopī-prema has been ascertained to be the ultimate objective of the living being. In the chapter called Veṇu-gīta, some of the towering waves of this gopī-prema can be seen, and yearning to be immersed in this nectarean ocean sprouts even in the hearts of the faithful devotees who are situated on its shore. In his beautiful commentary on the verses of Veṇu-gīta, Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja reveals the depth of the commentaries his spiritual predecessors, Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī and Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura.
This PDF file contains a map which is in the Vraja-mandala parikrama book, 736Kb.
Sri Vraja-mandala parikrama, originally inaugurated by Sriman Mahaprabhu Himself, has been conducted for over fifty years under the supervision and guidance of Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja. This book is a beautiful exposition of the confidential places of Sri Krsna's sweet pastimes in Vraja. The sincere devotee who has a deep thirst to enter into the sweetness of the land of Vraja will find ambrosial nectar flowing through these pages.
"Blessed is the land of Vraja, where the creator of the universe, Lord Brahma, dwells in the form of a mountain range in Varsana, to have the dust of the Divine Couple Sri Sri Radha-Krsna's lotus feet on the head: where the maintainer, Lord Visnu, has assumed the forms of Govardhana and Visnu-parvata: where the moon-crested Lord Siva has taken up residence as Nandisvara Hill in Nandagrama: and where Sri Uddhava, the best of Hari's servants, lives as a blade of grass, a small shrub or a creeper on the bank of Kusuma-sarovara."
The scriptures tell us of the incalculable value of even a moment's association with a true saint, and Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja is exalted even among saints. With great sincerity, his disciples and followers thus availed themselves of any opportunity to accompany him on his morning walks and attend his morning darśanas. In those informal settings, they freely asked a variety of questions, his illuminating responses revealing a mere glimpse of the devotion radiating brilliantly within his heart. Sometimes personal, sometimes disciplinary, sometimes humorous and always loving, he would impart the deepest understandings of the scriptures for the benefit of all. It was on his repeated order that these walks and darśanas be transcribed and published. In this way, he has invited you, also, to walk with him and hear the jewel-like teachings he wants to share with you.

Came across the following gratuitous anti-gun propaganda in a handout from UNC.
What this handout is about
This handout is on common logical fallacies that you may encounter in your own writing or the writing of others. The handout provides definitions, examples, and tips on avoiding these fallacies.
Weak analogy
Definition: Many arguments rely on an analogy between two or more objects, ideas, or situations. If the two things that are being compared aren't really alike in the relevant respects, the analogy is a weak one, and the argument that relies on it commits the fallacy of weak analogy.
Example: "Guns are like hammersthey're both tools with metal parts that could be used to kill someone. And yet it would be ridiculous to restrict the purchase of hammersso restrictions on purchasing guns are equally ridiculous." While guns and hammers do share certain features, these features (having metal parts, being tools, and being potentially useful for violence) are not the ones at stake in deciding whether to restrict guns. Rather, we restrict guns because they can easily be used to kill large numbers of people at a distance. This is a feature hammers do not shareit'd be hard to kill a crowd with a hammer. Thus, the analogy is weak, and so is the argument based on it.

By MICHAEL FALCONE (@michaelpfalcone) and AMY WALTER (@amyewalter)
GREEN BAY, Wisc. — Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum trekked around Wisconsin over the weekend like two men on a very different mission.
Ever since his speech on Friday in Appleton, Wisc. in which he shook off any references to his opponents and pivoted to the fall battle with President Obama, Romney has looked more comfortable and more confident on the stump than at just about any other time during this primary.
Yesterday — April Fools Day — at a pancake breakfast in Milwaukee he even joked about how his campaign staff had pranked him into thinking he was about to address an empty room. But later in the day at a campaign stop just outside Madison he offered a prediction that was no joke:
"This president can't run on his record," Romney said. "And so he's going to try in every way he can to divert to some other kind of attack and try to have people disqualify our nominee, which will probably be me, instead of talking about where we've been, and where we're going as a nation."
Romney's message that he is now the probable nominee was not well-received by Santorum, who, despite the likelihood of losses in the Wisconsin, Maryland and District of Columbia primaries tomorrow, spent the weekend warning voters against "cutting this short and getting the wrong candidate."
"Why is he spending $4 million in Wisconsin if the race is over?" Santorum said of Romney Sunday afternoon at an event near Green Bay. "If it's over and you know, there's no chance, then why is he bothering even campaigning anymore if it's over?"
Santorum's argument: "We aren't even at halftime folks, not even half the delegates have been selected in this race."
The former Pennsylvania senator's campaign team still rails against the notion of Romney's inevitability, but even their own candidate seemed to set a specific bar for continuing the fight. In an appearance on NBC's "Meet The Press" yesterday, he said: "We have to win Pennsylvania and we're going to win Pennsylvania. I have no doubt about that."
And with Romney creeping up on Santorum in the recent polls in Pennsylvania, which holds its primary on April 24, his statement yesterday may have sealed his fate as a candidate.
"I think Pennsylvania is going to be really important for us," his campaign manager Mike Biundo said in an interview with ABC News on Sunday. "I wouldn't be doing myself or the senator justice if I said any different."
Instead of staying in Wisconsin tomorrow night, Santorum will hold his election night party in Pittsburgh, which is also a sign of how the campaign is assessing their own chances in the Badger State.
But for the last few days, Santorum has been campaigning with Iowa-like intensity. Today he holds five events throughout the state and on Wednesday he has another busy day of events planned to kick off his Pennsylvania effort.
But Santorum's going to have company. Over the next couple of weeks, Romney is going to try to do what Santorum failed to do Michigan — beat his opponent on his own "home" turf. Romney knows that a win in Pennsylvania would end a primary that already looks over.
SANTORUM'S LAST-MINUTE MESSAGE. On the campaign trail this weekend there were few signs that Rick Santorum was ready to ease up in his criticism of Mitt Romney. And this morning, on the eve of the Wisconsin primary, his campaign released a new television ad linking Romney to President Obama. "What if I told you this man's big government mandating health care included $50 abortions and killed thousands of jobs, would you ever vote for him? What if I told you he supported radical environmental job-killing cap and trade and the Wall Street bailouts? And what if I told you he dramatically raised taxes and stuck taxpayers with a $1 billion shortfall?" the ad's narrator says. "One more thing, what if I told you the man I'm talking about isn't him," the narrator says as a photo of a grimacing President Obama flashes on the screen and then dissolves into a photo of Romney. "It's him." WATCH: http://bit.ly/HAYug4
–ON MITT ROMNEY'S ETCH A SKETCH: IT'S 'WHAT HE'S GOT TO DO' Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, currently faces a dynamic similar to the one President Bill Clinton faced during his first presidential run 20 years ago: a long, bruising primary, driving up his unfavorable ratings. Clinton turned it around. Can Romney? "I doubt it," the former president said in an interview with ABC's Jake Tapper on Sunday. "Mr. Romney has a different challenge than I did," Clinton said. "Even though he had a bruising primary and higher negatives and I did too. Mine was just one long character attack. It was a personal attack on me. You know, 'You shouldn't have this guy be president.'" Clinton was able to turn it around, he said, because "the American people are inherently fair. I named Al Gore. We reintroduced our economic plan. Then we reintroduced ourselves to the American people. But we never had to change what we were saying from primary to the general. The problem that Governor Romney has, is his character attack was 'You don't really know what he believes. He did this, he says that.' "He started this campaign in the aftermath of that tea party victory in 2010," Clinton said, "when all the people on the far right of the Republican party actually believed a majority of the voters had embraced the specific things they were saying. So it created a horrible dilemma for Romney. And the poor man who got in trouble for the Etch-a-Sketch remark. That's like the saying, 'There is nothing more damaging in politics than telling the truth.' I mean, the truth is, that's what he's gotta do." http://abcn.ws/HO7R82
–ON TRAYVON MARTIN. Clinton said the "tragedy" of the killing of Trayvon Martin should cause a re-thinking of the "Stand Your Ground" law. "There are different stories being told," the former president said, "so the first thing I have to say is that it's important to find out the facts." Clinton continued "but to me, beyond the incredible personal tragedy- this young man was not armed, he clearly presented no threat to anybody's life — is, the most important thing I've read was from the former police chief in Florida in the community, he was one of many law enforcement officers testifying against that Stand Your Ground law. And he said, you know this is going to create all kinds of problems. And it's going to be almost impossible to prove what was in someone's mind when a certain thing happened." http://abcn.ws/HFCT5a
–BACKSTORY: From ABC's Jennifer Wlach: This weekend over 1,000 college students from around the world descended upon Washington D.C. to participate in the 5th Annual Clinton Global Initiative University, or CGI U—a summit started by former President Bill Clinton in 2008 to inspire the youngest generation of Americans to lead a life of service. The former President commended the ingenuity of the CGI U participants—saying the entire summit benefits from a dichotomy of groups. "There are the young people who are always idealistic and always have good ideas. Then there are the young people who are disillusioned with government or with the private sector, who think, 'Okay, I wanna take things in my own hands. Start my own organization. Do something that makes a difference for the grassroots up,'" Clinton said. "And we had both types of young people here. It was very interesting." http://abcn.ws/H6RZC2

–PAUL RYAN ON GAS PRICES. Rep. Paul Ryan said yesterday on "This Week" that the idea of releasing oil from strategic reserves to drive down domestic gas prices was "political pixie dust in an election year." "I call it the political pixie dust in an election year. It really doesn't do a lot," Ryan told ABC's George Stephanopoulos "Instead of begging the Saudis to sell us more of their oil, what our budget does is says let's go and explore more of our own oil." I asked Ryan about the idea of releasing oil from strategic reserves after Rep. Chris Van Hollen said that "the president has reached out to other oil-producing countries around the world. And they have got a strategy now to get more oil on the market. That should drive down prices. It should begin to pop that speculative bubble." The Obama administration had declined to outline specific action it is taking in this regard even as France said earlier this week that it is considering tapping its reserves as part of an effort by the United States to lower the price of oil. Ryan, a congressman from Wisconsin, suggested that access should be granted to "oil that is locked on public lands by President Obama." http://abcn.ws/Hy3qgC
–ANN COULTER ON MARCO RUBIO AS V.P.: A 'MISTAKE' While pundits, politicians and prognosticators have tapped Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as one of the most likely GOP vice presidential picks, conservative commentator Ann Coulter warned yesterday that such a choice would be a "mistake." "I think that would be a mistake because the same people who loved Rubio loved [former presidential candidate and Texas Gov.]Rick Perry," Coulter said Sunday during the "This Week" roundtable discussion. "I want someone who's been a bit more tested." As the rising star of the Tea Party and a Hispanic from the delegate-rich state of Florida, Rubio would fix Romney's two biggest problems: enthusiasm among the Republican base and lackluster support from Hispanics, argued conservative commentator George Will. http://abcn.ws/HyFR99

S.C. GOV. NIKKI HALEY SAYS SHE'D TURN DOWN VEEP JOB. In a recent interview at the governor's mansion in Columbia, S.C., Gov. Nikki Haley told "Nightline's" Cynthia McFadden the sign has been there since day one of her administration. "I want everyone who comes in — staff, legislators, constituents — to know from the outset that's how things work here," she said. It can make her a tough boss at times she admits, but, she says, an effective one. A Tea Party favorite endorsed by Sarah Palin during her gubernatorial race in 2010, Haley's endorsement in the Republican primary was a highly coveted one. The South Carolina governor came out early for Mitt Romney, criss-crossing the state with him in the weeks before the state's January primary. Despite her stalwart campaigning on his behalf, Haley claims she has no interest in being his running mate. If offered the vice presidential slot, Haley said she would not take it. "I'd say, 'Thank you, but no,'" she said. "I made a promise to the people of this state. And I think that promise matters. And I intend to keep it." But the governor fell short of delivering a South Carolina win to Romney. Instead the GOP presidential candidate suffered a substantial defeat in the Palmetto state, falling 13 percentage points behind Newt Gingrich. Haley brushed off Romney's loss. "South Carolinians are strong, independently-minded people," Haley said. "At the end of the day, they make their own decisions. And I respect them for that. And I welcome that. And I told him that from the very beginning." http://abcn.ws/HeND61 Watch the full interview with Gov. Nikki Haley on "Nightline" tomorrow.
ROMNEY GETS PUNKED. The joke was on Mitt Romney yesterday when his staff played an April Fool's trick on him, directing him to speak to an empty room instead of the packed ballroom where his event was actually scheduled to be held, shocking him with a non-existent audience just days before the Wisconsin Republican presidential primary, ABC's Emily Friedman notes. "This is a morning I'm not going to forget anytime soon," said Romney, who was introduced by Rep. Paul Ryan and Sen. Ron Johnson, who endorsed him earlier today. "You know it's April Fool's Day. I forgot. They turned me into the April Fool this morning, those guys. Your senator, your congressman," Romney told the crowd that was gathered for a pancake brunch at the Bluemound Gardens event space. "Downstairs is a room just like this one, and it was all set up." Romney said the black curtain that usually shields him from the crowd before he enters was set up, as was the tape on the floor instructing him and the introducers where to stand. By all accounts, Romney believed he was readying to address the breakfast crowd. "They're all standing there. Paul Ryan goes out first, all right, and this is downstairs, there's not a person in the room, and my staff says to me, 'There's a small — It's a small — We didn't get much of a turnout this morning, it's really small, but it will be OK, it will be OK,'" Romney said. "And so I hear Paul Ryan goes out, gives the same introduction, what he just said. He's down there, 'And so now, let's welcome Ron Johnson, and Mitt Romney, the next president of the United States.' "And so the two of us go out there and it's completely empty," Romney said. "There's nobody there. I thought, oh, boy, this is going to look really bad on the evening news, let me tell you." http://abcn.ws/H8sktJ
BIDEN ATTACKS ROMNEY, GOP AS 'OUT OF TOUCH' Vice President Joe Biden "can't remember" a candidate as out of touch with the American middle class as Mitt Romney, he said in an interview that aired yesterday, ABC's Matthew Larotonda reports. The claim is not new to the Obama campaign, but in a CBS interview broadcast this morning the vice president's remarks advertise the characterization as the Democrats' new primary line of attack. "I can't remember a presidential candidate in the recent past who seems not to understand by what he says what ordinary middle class people are thinking about and are concerned about," Biden said. "Out of touch" finger-pointing is certainly not an original idea in politics. Democrats and Republicans have long sought to paint the other side as aloof to the values and everyday hardships of Americans. During the height of the 2008 campaign, attack ads from both sides looked like they were written by the same author. But the recent focus from the Obama campaign is intended to dovetail with weeks of debate over the "Buffet Rule," a bill the White House is pushing that would mandate Americans making more than $1 million a year pay at least the same tax rate as people in the middle class. The GOP maintains the president is engaging in class warfare. http://abcn.ws/Hd8lmP
–DEMOCRATIC SUPER PAC LINKS ROMNEY TO BIG OIL. "Priorities USA Action today released a television ad 'Romney's Big Oil Trail' to expose the true motivations of big oil's attacks on President Obama — to elect Mitt Romney who stands to protect big oil's profits at the expense of middle class Americans. 'While President Obama is taking serious action to make America less dependent on dirty and dangerous sources of Middle East oil and create clean energy jobs here at home, Mitt Romney and the oil companies bankrolling his campaign are profiting from high gas prices politically and financially,' said Paul Begala, Senior Advisor for Priorities USA Action. The ad will run both on television and online in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia." WATCH: http://bit.ly/HgxiOW

–Suburban Voters Will Dominate in Wisconsin. Good news for Mitt Romney, who has performed better among suburban voters in GOP primaries so far: The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Craig Gilbert points out that Milwaukee's suburbs will form the "pulsing heart" of the GOP electorate on Tuesday, although rural voters accounted for 40 percent of the primary electorate in 2008. Romney has visited only five Wisconsin counties to Santorum's 22, by Gilbert's count, but those five counties have the largest populations in the state. "Where [western Milwaukee suburb] Waukesha goes, so does the rest of the Republican Party–most of the time," state Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald tells the paper. http://bit.ly/HC4uTE
–Low Turnout Expected in Maryland. Wisconsin seems to have stolen the show in Tuesday's primaries, when D.C. and Maryland will also vote. The Baltimore Sun reports that low turnout is expected in Maryland, as the GOP presidential primary and the state's other voting contests have "largely failed to capture voters' attention." Perhaps seeking to remedy that, opponents of state Sen. David Brinkley, who is challenging U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R), released audio over the weekend of a 2008 911 call from Brinkley's home after a domestic dispute. http://bsun.md/HxGPqN
–Mitt Romney is on the trail in Wisconsin a day before the primary. Romney and Congressman Paul Ryan will hold an event in Green Bay and a town hall at the Moore Oil Company in Milwaukee.
–Rick Santorum also campaigns in Wisconsin with stops in Shawano, Appleton, Menasha, and Oshkosh. Santorum ends the day at the Little White School House in Ripon, the birth place of the Republican Party.
–Newt Gingrich brings his message to Maryland hosting a rally at the Frederick Motor Company and delivering remarks at Hood College. Maryland holds their primary on Tuesday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Many-Bears Grinder has been appointed to the VA Advisory Committee for Minority Veterans.
The committee provides advice to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs secretary on the needs of minority veterans regarding health care, rehabilitation benefits, compensation and other programs administered by VA.
According to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, the number of minorities serving in the Armed Forces is increasing, leading to a more socially and ethnically diverse military.
However, officials say minority veterans are less likely to utilize VA health care or file claims for federal benefits.
There are nearly 83,000 minority veterans and more than 51,000 women veterans living in Tennessee.

California American Water Reminds Customers To Turn Down Their Sprinklers When They Turn Back Their Clocks
As daylight savings comes to an end, coinciding with the beginning of the rainy season, California American Water recommends that customers reduce or eliminate outdoor irrigation. By reducing irrigation in the winter and shutting off sprinklers during rainy periods, customers can save water and money while maintaining healthy landscaping.
Overwatering can be more damaging to plants than drought. Landscaping experts estimate that 90 percent of plants die from too much water. Soggy soil can prevent nutrients and air from reaching plant roots, inviting unwanted diseases such as root rot.
"With our busy lives and the holidays around the corner, it's easy for folks to forget their sprinkler system may still be on a summer watering schedule," said Rob MacLean, President of California American Water. "That's why we're encouraging customers to monitor their home irrigation systems and make sure they're not double dosing their properties with water. It's a waste of money, water and can damage landscaping."
If there is a long break between rainy days, California American Water recommends manually watering landscapes with a hose equipped with a low-flow hose nozzle. One way to test if a garden needs watering is by pushing a screwdriver into the ground. If it goes in easily, the soil is moist and the landscaping doesn't need water. Another way to conserve is by watering in the early morning. The rate at which moisture evaporates from the soil tends to be significantly less in the morning than during the afternoon when temperatures tend to increase."We want our customers to know they can avoid high water bills by controlling their outdoor use," MacLean said. "It's good for their pocketbooks and good for the environment." California American Water provides a variety of conservation services and rebates, including water wise home surveys, to help customers use water efficiently. Customers can visit our website or contact their local office for more information.

Approaches to Transnational Studies: Core Readings, Social Theory and Case Studies
Term 1
Wednesdays 2-4 and selected additional sessions Wednesdays 11-1
realities of social life do not necessarily fit national categories.
Transnational identities (generated through patterns of migration, religious
belief systems, or political and cultural identities) often have a stronger
impact on people's lives then nationality or statehood. Therefore,
transterritoriality constitutes a fundamental anthropological reality. People, goods and ideas travel across
national boundaries; as a consequence they change or acquire new meaning.
Social forms of organisation take account of these realities. As Khagram and
Levitt have argued, "studying contemporary social life by comparing experiences
within or across nations blinds us to many of the ways the world actually
Students are expected to develop a profound understanding of theoretical and methodological debates in the interdisciplinary field of Transnational Studies to enable them to apply these in their optional modules and their dissertation work.
Assessment: 2-hour examination, coursework essay of up to 3,000 words and review of up to 1,000 words
Theory Readings: WEEKS 1-5
This first section of the core course introduces students to a core set of readings in social theory relevant to transnational studies. The aim of this section is to provide students with a shared vocabulary of references and concepts.

DIY Shell Stitch

Shell stitches, or "fan" stitches, can produce some of the most dramatic results in a free crochet pattern. When used to finish a piece, the shell stitch can create elegant scallops. Creating a rounded edge can also be done with shell stitches. Layering shell stitches in rows can create a "tear drop" pattern. This has even more punch if the rows are completed in contrasting colors. Variations of the standard shell stitch includes a variety of fan stitches, the v-stitch, and even the well-loved granny square. The icing on the cake is that shell stitches are easy to do, especially with great crochet instructions!
Most patterns call for the use of simple stitches, such as chain stitches, single crochet, and double crochet. Often, a group of double crochet stitches will have single crochet or slip stitches on either side. This process anchors the shell stitch and fans them out. By combining these basic crochet stitches, the end result is bold and beautiful.
Try making a sample of shell stitches. To begin, chain a length of 38 stitches. First single crochet, skip two chains, and double crochet 5 times in one chain. Then, skip 2 chains and make single crochet. Repeat this pattern across the row. When finished, you'll have a nice scalloped edging.
To practice layering rows of shell stitches, begin the second row by making a turning chain of 3-chains, then double crochet twice into the last single crochet of the first row. This will create three double crochet stitches, which looks like half of the shell. To continue, single crochet into the third double crochet, at the top of shell. Then, double crochet 5 times into the next single crochet. Repeat this pattern across the row, until you reach the last single stitch. Double crochet 3 times in the last single stitch. Similar to the beginning of this row, it will look like half of the shell.
Although, for the beginner, learning shell-stitches can seem daunting, they become a valuable stitch in many projects. Simple and versatile, shell-stitches are one of my favorites.

Eating for England is an entertaining, detailed, and somewhat tongue-in-cheek observation of the British and their food, their cooking, their eating, and how they behave in restaurants, with chapters on, amongst other things, dinner parties, funeral teas, Indian restaurants, dieting, and eating while under the influence. Written in Nigel Slater's trademark readable style, Eating for England highlights our idiosyncratic attitude towards the fine art of dining.
©2007 Nigel Slater; (P)2007 HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, London, UK
"A Must-Hear!"
I will never read a Nigel Slater book, now that I have heard two! Not all books are well-served by being spoken, but this one - with its brief, self-contained food essays - is very enjoyable as one races around the track or (even more so) walks to the local deli. Slater's dry sardonic wit (a perfect example is his deconstruction of the trifle) is amplified when the author delightfully reads his own work.
Not as enjoyable as his previous book Toast - but just because Toast told a story - this is just collection of food essays. They are well written and entertainig - will make you want to run out to an import food store and try a few new items - as I did. Start with Toast though. Toast will help you understand how Nigel came to be.
"And Scotland, Wales and Ireland ............"
Nigel Slater is a greedy guts. There can't be any British foods, sweet or savoury; gourmet or junk; trendy or long forgotten, that he hasn't eaten and (mostly) loved. Here he gives little chapters to all, from faggots to Abbey Crunch biscuits, poached salmon to sherbert lemons, and all the varied occasions on which they might be eaten. In his wise, witty and often waspish style, he delivers an amazingly history of British eating habits over the past 50 years or so. It is very entertaining and nostalgic, and you will soon be scouring the supermarket shelves for some long forgotten treat!
I listen to this book on my very long bus journey to work and I could feel myself absolutely drooling over the wonderful descriptions that Nigel slater uses to describe either his favourite dishes or his parents. My tastebuds were tantalised by the memory of sweets no longer available and his description of the fray bentos steak and kidney pie made me want to rush out and buy one. then again maybe not. An enjoyable listen and a great reminder that eating good food is not a crime but a joy.

RUNNERS can star in Scotland's most spectacular sporting year by signing up for the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2014.
Entries open today for Scotland's largest running event on Saturday May 24 and Sunday May 25 2014, with early birds snapping up a discount and the chance to book a 2014 race at 2013 prices. The festival, which is expected to attract more than 30,000 runners, will kick off an extraordinary year of sport in Scotland with a line-up that includes the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in July and golf's 40th Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in September.
Neil Kilgour, Edinburgh Marathon Festival director, said: "Scotland is preparing to welcome the world in 2014 and we look forward to delivering an outstanding Edinburgh Marathon Festival that the nation will be proud of.
"Now is the time to make 2014 your year. The earlier you sign up the better, both to guarantee a place and set aside plenty of time to work out a sound training programme so you're in peak condition on the big day. There really couldn't be a better time to plan a trip to Scotland."
With its fast and flat route, the Edinburgh Marathon Festival is one of the fastest in the world and a perfect choice for runners chasing a personal best. The Edinburgh Marathon joined the world's elite road races in 2012 by becoming the first race in Scotland to be officially recognised by the IAAF, the athletics governing body. The IAAF bronze label puts the race among the top 75 in the world making it a pivotal part of the sporting calendar for runners.
With runners from more than 100 countries expected to take part, the Edinburgh Marathon Festival is an ideal way to showcase the capital at its very best and complement Scotland's £3 million programme of "Homecoming" events that tourism bosses believe will help create the industry's biggest ever year in 2014.
Maureen Virtue, 41, of East Lothian (pix attached) can't wait to sign up for EMF 2014. It will be the third time she'll run the Edinburgh Marathon and she loves the race so much it even inspired her to set up her own running group, Run for Fun.
Maureen said: "I love running and I love Edinburgh.
"I ran a personal best at the Edinburgh marathon this year, racing to the finish in 4 hours and 46 minutes. It's a beautiful route. The crowd at the finish must have been a mile long and really kept me going to get that personal best. I'm not a natural born runner. I started running after a serious riding accident punctured my lung. Running has given me back by health and happiness. I wouldn't miss it for the world."
For running pal, Callum Murray, 20, of Galashiels, the Edinburgh Marathon Festival half marathon this year was his first major race and he finished it in two hours and four minutes.
Callum said: "I can't complain with that time for my first half marathon.
"I definitely enjoyed running in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival. The crowds cheering along the way made it a great day so I'd recommend it to people out there thinking about taking on a challenge next year."
Second only to London in terms of size in the UK, the Edinburgh Marathon Festival, which in 2014 will be in its 12th year, takes place in Scotland's capital city Edinburgh and continues through East Lothian. There are eight races on offer, guaranteeing there is something for everyone from the seasoned runner to the charity fundraiser and beginners. The fun kicks off on Saturday May 24 at Holyrood Park with a 10k, 5K and two junior races. On Sunday May 25, the Edinburgh marathon, half marathon and team relay starts from the heart of Edinburgh and continues through East Lothian offering stunning views and an unforgettable running experience.
The Edinburgh Marathon Festival has had an economic impact of more than £25 million for Scotland's capital and helped raise more than £30 million for hundreds of charities. Together with the Edinburgh Marathon Festival's Official charity, Macmillan Cancer Support, organisers are hoping to break all previous records and raise even more in 2014.
Entries are open for the Edinburgh Marathon Festival on May 24 and 25, 2014. Just go to the website www.edinburgh-marathon.com and like the Edinburgh Marathon Festival Facebook page.

THE Edinburgh Marathon Festival is on Saturday May 24 and Sunday May 25 2014.
There is a race to suit all ages and abilities. Choose from the full marathon, half marathon, relay marathon, 10K, 5K or the kids, two junior races. Everyone who enters the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2014 before Sunday June 2 2013 will qualify for an EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT. That means a 2014 race for 2013 prices.
The Edinburgh Marathon sold out 2008-2013 and the half marathon sold out for the first time this year.

Four Things The Cast of 'Girls' Are Above — and Four Things They're Not
Above: DietingLena Dunham may be on a winning streak for Girls, but one thing she doesn't have a winning attitude for? Dieting. Not one to shy away from full-frontal nudity, Dunham confronts the painful of her problems with nutrition and diet in her upcoming book."Sometimes I'm like, Ugh, how did I make myself the guinea pig for this? But on the other hand, hating my body has not been my cross to bear in this life. Which I feel very lucky about," she has said about her nude scenes.

Turning Johnny Depp into a 120-year-old Tonto was the most daunting challenge faced by makeup department head Joel Harlow on "The Lone Ranger," requiring eight hours each day to apply 17 silicon appliances, plus fingernails and two contact lenses per eye (one to push down the lower lid). But over the course of the entire eight-month shoot Harlow and fellow Oscar nominee, hair department head Gloria Pasqua Casny, executed scores of other more subtle transformations that were just as vital to selling the film's reality.
"We had 86 speaking parts and hundreds of background (players) in special makeups," says Harlow. "Even the young Tonto is wearing seven prosthetics on his face and another four on his body."
The efforts of the Oscar-nommed hair and makeup team on "Dallas Buyers Club" were similarly subtle. Stars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto each lost about 40 pounds to play characters who are wasting away from AIDS, but the script was filmed wildly out of sequence over the course of a whirlwind 23-day shoot. So for the early scenes in which McConaughey's character is healthier, makeup department head Robin Mathews gave him a slight tan and put plumpers in his mouth to make his cheeks look fuller.
Hair department head Adruitha Lee employed a less-obvious fattening technique. "I lightened his roots," Lee says. When Leto's transgender character was sick, "I put scarves on her to expose her and make her more vulnerable and thinner." Mathews' thinning process involved highlighting all the bones, tendons and veins she could find on their bodies, from their heads down to their feet, and sometimes shading in ones she couldn't.
On the third of this season's makeup nominees, "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa," it typically took lead makeup effects artist Stephen Prouty three hours each day to turn 42-year-old Johnny Knoxville into the 86-year-old title character.
The 11 silicon prosthetics on his head carried the bulk of the transformational load, but the key to making Knoxville believable as an octogenarian to the unsuspecting non-pros he pranked was the quality of the hairpieces applied to his face and scalp. "If people see the lace (of the wig) and the adhesive that we use is too shiny, that's an easy giveaway," Prouty says. "Every day, we had to fool people who were literally inches from his face. The film depended on that."

Texas to get big bucks to help low-performing schoolsBy: Melissa GundersenEL PASO, Texas -- Texas is one of 10 states that will get millions of dollars from the government to help turn around low-performance schools, and districts in the Borderland are hoping to get a piece of the pie. The U.S. Department of Education announced the Lone Star State will be awarded $46,773,565 to help low-achieving school districts throughout the state, receiving the most out of all states. For the Borderland to get some of that money, educators said schools must classify as a focus or priority school. According to the Texas Education Association website, El Paso, Ysleta, Fabens and San Elizario Independent School Districts are on the list. We have one ZIP code that is one of the five poorest ZIP codes in the United States. So we have to deal with that and having our schools help students is what I know the schools try to do, said Lucy Clarke, the president of the El Paso Federation of Teachers. Clarke said when Borderland schools have been awarded grant money in the past there's been a change for the better. Looking at the most current results that were online, the test scores in one area, which is reading, has gone up. Yes, slightly, but they went up, said Clarke Clarke said there are a few reason for the positive impact, including the money being spent on encouraging parents to get involved. Some of our campuses have training for parents to be able to do that after school, said Clarke. If the person who would be doing the after-school training if they're staying considerably after regular school hours would need to be paid for that. Clarke said grant money also goes to funding programs for students. It's all for one end goal: Test scores will rise, said Clarke. While it sounds good, Clarke said districts don't want to get their hopes up. (EPISD previously) applied for it for 27 schools, but only three were accepted into the grant program, said Clarke. To get this grant money the borderland is competing against all Texas cities. Clarke said for now, district staff will apply and keep their fingers crossed.

The Anatomy of Story: 22 Steps to Becoming a Master Storyteller
by John Truby
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Such an enlightening book. Every other book I have read on writing seems superficial now compared to this expert analysis of storytelling techniques.
This book is a solid guide to formulaic story structure. Of course, as much as it claims to break from the "stale and formulaic" three-act structure, it also creates a whole new form of potential "stale and formulaic" structure that will help the reader create excellent stories, that all feel exactly the same.
As I was reading, there were several times where I thought the ideas Truby discusses are excellent, but a little stilting if the reader follows each and every step as if it is gospel. The real trick is to read this book, learn what it has to teach you, then use only as much as you feel you need for each story you write.
There's a textbook feel to Truby's book, especially with the writing exercises at the end of each chapter, but this was the first book on writing that I've read where the exercises didn't feel mandatory, or even necessary.
Definitely worth reading to help yourself improve as a writer and storyteller.
A little textbook-y and hard work, but a very rewarding method for considering every aspect of a story.
One of the best books on writing and the story structure I have read.
It's a bedrock truth of writing that the oldest scam in the game is writing about writing. Most writing books are junk, and the reason they're junk is that they push formula, transforming art to engineering. They reduce everything to archetype and suggest logical, linear approaches to what is in fact an intuitive, iterative process. You get recipes.
No doubt the steady appetite for books pushing writing to formula motivated the misleading subtitle of The Anatomy of Story. But there is no 22 step program to become a master storyteller here. There is a 22-step plot structure, but it concerns only 38 of the book's 445 pages -- and furthermore, some of the steps are treated as disposable. This is not a recipe.
A better subtitle would have advertised the connection of structure and theme, for this is the point that Truby hammers at throughout. Rather than pushing the notion that you should ignore your themes, as so many writing books suggest, Truby insists that all great stories rest on a moral dilemma that is properly expressed through their plot and structure. This is where you connect with an audience: not through characters culled from some list of archetypes, but with a web of characters who all express, in some way, the protagonist's central conflict, which in the best stories is a moral problem.
And this is not simply a screenwriting book. Nothing here is applicable only to the movies. Indeed, Truby draws about half his examples from novels rather than films, considering Ulysses alongside Casablanca. As a book concerned primarily with screenwriting, it ignores the stuff of most books aimed at fiction writers: narration, description, etc., and focuses on what those books tend to gloss over: plot. Consequently, it should be of equal interest to the aspiring novelist.
There is a downside. No doubt with sales in mind, this book keeps one foot firmly in the camp of formula. You get linear steps for iterative processes. This is a particular fault of an early chapter on developing your premise. A little more emphasis on examples that flout formula would have been nice.
A valuable book on writing, worth reading carefully.

John Truby is one of the most respected and sought-after story consultants in the film industry, and his students have gone on to pen some of Hollywood's most successful films, including Sleepless in Seattle, Scream, and Shrek. The Anatomy of Story is his long-awaited first book, and it shares all of his secrets for writing a compelling script. Based on the lessons in his award-winning class, Great Screenwriting, The Anatomy of Story draws on a broad range of philosophy and mythology, offering fresh techniques and insightful anecdotes alongside Truby's own unique approach for how to build an effective, multifaceted narrative. Truby's method for constructing a story is at once insightful and practical, focusing on the hero's moral and emotional growth. As a result, writers will dig deep within and explore their own values and worldviews in order to create an effective story. Writers will come away with an extremely precise set of tools to work with--specific, useful techniques to make the audience care about their characters, and that make their characters grow in meaningful ways. They will construct a surprising plot that is unique to their particular concept, and they will learn how to express a moral vision that can genuinely move an audience.
The foundations of story that Truby lays out are so fundamental they are applicable--and essential--to all writers, from novelists and short-story writers to journalists, memoirists, and writers of narrative non-fiction.

The tower's footprint would fill most of two Lakeshore East properties, both unbuilt, that are split by a ground-level street.
That street, which the tower would straddle, leads to the lowest level of East Wacker and to a spot that scores of Chicagoans are never happy to visit — the city's central auto pound at 500 E. Wacker.
Magellan's most well-known project is Gang's Aqua, also in Lakeshore East.
A profile of Gang in the May 19 issue of The New Yorker suggests that the design of this new tower is hers.
The article said Loewenberg asked Gang two years ago to design a skyscraper that would rise near Aqua.
"Her design nestles together three buildings, which softly zigzag in and out as they rise," the story said. "The middle building will straddle a road."
The master plan for Lakeshore East, designed by the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, called for a skyscraper along East Wacker that would have a large-scale opening at its base, creating a gateway into the development.
The design made public Wednesday by Wanda follows this idea, proposing a monumental void for the middle of the three interlocked towers.
Gregg Garmisa, a principal and general counsel at Studio Gang Architects, declined to comment, as did Robin Tebbe, chief marketing officer for Magellan Development.
Magellan will hold the remaining 10 percent stake in the new project, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Wang is most well-known in the United States for buying movie theater chain AMC Entertainment Holdings.
Also, as part of his aggressive global real estate strategy, Wanda Group bought a 28-story Madrid skyscraper last month and invested more than $1 billion in a luxury hotel and apartment development in London last year, the Journal reported.
"By 2020, Wanda will have Wanda branded five-star hotels in 12-15 major world cities and build an internationally influential Chinese luxury hotel brand," Wang said in a statement.
