As I was wondering down the snack isle of the grocery store today, I was on the search for something completely different (because that is always more fun). I was about to settle for an oldie, but goodie: Annie's All Natural Honey Bunny Grahams, when I spotted a brand spankin' new product on my local Target's shelves: Leclerc Praeventia Dark Chocolate Chip 70% Cocoa with Red Wine Extract Cookies (what a name). There is a Zest of Orange with Green Tea Extract flavor as well, but my love for chocolate made the decision for me.
There are so many health claims on this 7.4oz box that I am not sure how to convey every stimulating statement to you without setting out to write a book. First off all, there are 10 grams of whole grain and 4 grams of fiber per 30 gram pouch (each box contains 7 little heart filled bags). The flavor is so intense and delightful that the seemingly small serving may actually satisfy even the biggest volume eaters.
Each heart shaped, crispy chocolate cookie is a compacted mixture of whole rolled oats, brown sugar, enriched and whole oat flour, visible mini dark chocolate chips and a few other nutritious attributes. Furthermore, the 70% dark chocolate and red wine extract offer your body a tasty source of powerful antioxidants. The texture is similar to that of a Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bar, which is certainly not bad, just unexpected. The cookie tends to be a bit crumbly and slightly dry at first; but melds into a perfect concoction once it hits your mouth. The dark chocolate flavor is extremely concentrated and resembles pure dark chocolate (which is utterly amazing).
After enjoying one pouch, you will have consumed 150 calories, 6 grams of fat (9% of the RDA) including 1 gram of saturated fat (5% of the RDA), 95 mg of sodium (4% of the RDA), 7 grams of sugar, 2 grams of protein and 10% of the RDA for Iron. You could not ask for better nutritional information for a chocolate packed treat.
The cookies were selling for $4.00, and there was a $0.55 off coupon on every box, so I figured it was worth a try. Unfortunately, I forgot about the coupon until I was at home unloading my groceries, therefore, I may buy these again soon in an effort to make use of my handy discount. Otherwise, I would wait for them to go on sale. If you are truly in love with dark chocolate cookies, you must find Leclerc Praeventia's Dark Chocolate Cookies.

Southland events celebrate King's life
BY STEVE METSCH firstname.lastname@example.com January 17, 2013 4:30PM
FILE - In this Feb. 7, 1968 file photo, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., center, speaks to an audience, while promising a massive demonstration in the spring in Washington and hinting the crusade may be extended to the political party conventions in August. King, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference said the demonstration in Washington will last for weeks and maybe for months. At left is the Rev. Andrew Young, executive Vice President of the Southern Conference. Veterans of past social movements, such as Young, say the Occupy Wall Street protest has been a welcome response to the abysmal economy and has the potential to galvanize wide support, but whether it will lead to lasting political change remains to be seen. "There's a difference between an emotional outcry and a movement," said Young, who worked alongside King as a strategist during the civil rights movement. "This is an emotional outcry. The difference is organization and articulation." (AP Photo, File)

The medical center's chaplain, the Rev. Richard E. James, who helped plan the event, said a large crowd is expected.

The Loire Region
The region of Anjou is one of the most diverse in France.
The Loire in Anjou.
For 80 miles,The favourite river of the Kings of France and the white tern, Anjou owes almost everything to the Loire.in the east to Champtoceaux, It has brought precious materials, irrigated the fields, inspired monumental buildings and the river, in a great loop, provoked ideas. It also brings the alluvial sand, perfect for growing flowers and market gardening.
Responsible for ideas of grandeur, prosperity and the occasional flood, the river is rightfully known as the last untamed river of Europe; a fact that has not passed unnoticed: the Loire has officially been proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Whatever her mood, one thing is sure, here in Anjou the river is at its very best.
How fortuitous for a country that its wonders below ground match those above! Discover buried treasures beneath Saumur, carved from tufa (tufaceous limestone), the same material used for building châteaux and abbeys. A stone so renowned for its light- reflecting properties that, having graced the Loire valley, it was shipped to England as a building material. What is left is more than 600 miles of underground galleries used as wine-sampling cellars, museums, art galleries and unusual places to eat. Don't miss the mushroom museum and growing caves near Saumur.
Playing a crucial role in French history, Angers castle bears witness to the might of an empire that stretched from Scotland to the Pyrenees.
Angers, home to the cave-dwelling Andes tribe when the area was part of Gaul was also, because of its prosperity, known as Juliomagnus – Julius Caesar's market. It was from here that the Plantagenets took control of the English crown under first Henry II and then Richard I (Lionheart). A century later, the province was returned to the French crown and Louis IX (Saint Louis) and his mother Blanche of Castile erected the castle. A huge fortified defence covering half a square mile, its vast wings are protectively folded over a masterpiece-- the Apocalypse Tapestry.
A place for wine, a place for mass". Here grape juice and the divine service were closely linked. The Coteaux du Layon vineyards that stretch to the top of the hillside were planted by monks and the sweet and beautifully golden wine produced was drunk by the crowned heads of Europe. It still graces the tables of discerning drinkers. No pain, no gain though, whether this applies to the grower who onerously harvests the grape by hand or the visitor who climbs the steep slopes to explore the area.
Undoubtedly the most reserved of the Loire valley royal provinces, Anjou attracted dukes and princes, builders and patrons who all came together to produce a profusion of châteaux,manor houses and minor stately homes. Anjou châteaux combine the virtues of fortified buildings with the need for a comfortable home, somewhere to relax and enjoy oneself. A vineyard added here, there a garden, over there a stud farm. So developed the three things Anjou prides itself on: wine, flowers and horses. Some of the stately homes are still occupied, even by the same family and the most splendid are open to the public so you too can experience a hospitality that is rarely found elsewhere.
From the royal abbey of Fontevraud to the astonishing twisted steeples of the Baugeois, once upon a time...
Imagine it is 300 AD. Wars can no longer be won without prayers and conquests require the backing of faith. As the Roman occupation retreats, the landscape of Anjou takes on a religious dimension as Christianity spreads. With the conversion of the first archbishop of Tours, Saint Martin, comes a swift reaction in the countryside and people's minds. There are pioneering monks, to whom much is owed and Robert d'Arbrissel is one of them. A hermit devoted to prayers and poverty, around 1100 he founds what was to become one of the wealthiest and impressive monastic settlements of the Christian west: the Abbey of Fontevraud. With its 45 hectares and three priories, the community is run for 700 years by nuns under the protection of the king. Here is the chosen resting place of Henry II, King of England, his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine, his son Richard I and the wife of his other son King John, Isabella of Angoulême. Not death but life however now triumphs at Fontevraud. Concerts are organised by the Cultural Centre for the West and listeners can hear classical music and Gregorian chants. Calligraphy workshops are also held. Recently a French abbot, rebuked for keeping churches open in spite of thefts, replied "If by that you save a chandelier, you also extinguish a light for ever" Romanesque, Gothic, classical, Anjou has 400 bell towers some of which are included in the "open church" scheme. This is an initiative that arranges special visits with lighting, sacred music and information. In the Baugeois and Saumur area, churches are generally Romanesque in design. The best example being at Cunault, a wonder of solemnity and purity. Bring succour to the soul and you bring succour to the body. However faith often needed miracles. Visits to springs and pilgrimages for the saints to cure ailments punc-tured daily life, provided ritual and the religious landscape of Anjou. In Cheviré-le-Rouge, Le Thoureil, Cuon and Montjean water was said to cure eye problems, fever and madness. The amazing church of Béhuard Island, perched on a rocky peak has been one of the most popular venues for worshipping the Virgin Mary, while the nearby church of Savennières with its herringbone pattern bricks is one of the oldest in France. Discovering churches will soon bring you to Baugé with its wooden cross, decorated with gold and precious stones. The story relates that, in the thirteenth century, a crusade returning from the Holy Land gave a fragment of the original cross of Jesus to the monks of Baugé. The double headed cross became first the symbol of the Dukes of Anjou before, by passing from hand to hand through marriage and allegiance, becoming the present symbol of Lorraine. The actual artefact has since been returned and can be admired in Baugé. One of the strangest sites in Anjou, in the area around Baugé, home to pine and broad- leaved forests, is eight churches with twisted steeples. Nowhere else in France is there such a prolific gathering of this design for which there seems to be no explanation. Were they an architect's whim, the effect of the wind or even, the hand of the devil?
Cholet's claim to fame comes through its weavers. At the end of the seven- teenth century the town had around ten thread makers who made single coloured cloth and cottons. Cholet became known for its red handkerchiefs. Today the whole area is renowned for its textiles and exports French fashion collections to the rest of the world. You can explore historic Cholet best by starting at the Rougé Square in the old town. Don't forget to visit the textile museum housed in a former laundry. Did the handkerchiefs of Cholet dry the tears of history? In past times the town was the centre of bloody battles in the wars of the Vendée; today the town is the starting point for a tour of remembrance taking in the commemorative windows of the Vendée uprising. 102 stained glass windows have been installed in many churches in the Mauges near Cholet. Visit Chemillé, Chanzeaux, Le Pin-en-Mauges and La Chapelle-Saint-Florent to see some examples in all their glory.

The fight is on over school nutrition standards that require schools to serve students a half cup of fruits and vegetables at every reimbursable school meal.
A new study offers evidence in support for the rule, but the influential School Nutrition Association wants Congress and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to lift that mandate when child nutrition legislation is reauthorized in 2015.
In a study released in early March, Harvard School of Public Health researchers found the updated school nutrition standards helped boost fruit and vegetable selection in a study of 1,000 kids conducted both before and after new standards took effect in 2012.
Research was conducted in four urban, low-income schools. The study found that after the new regulations, the percentage of students selecting a fruit increased from 52.7% to 75.7%. For students who selected a vegetable, both the percentage consumed (24.9% pre-implementation compared with 41.1% post-implementation) and cups per day consumed (0.13 cups/day compared with 0.31 cups/day) improved, according to a news release about the findings.
Harvard researchers said the updated standards that require schools to serve increased fruits and vegetables did not increase plate waste. Still, the study's authors said plate waste remains significant, with students throwing away up to 75% of vegetables and 40% of fruits on their trays.
"There is a push from some organizations and lawmakers to weaken the new standards. We hope the findings, which show that students are consuming more fruits and vegetables, will discourage those efforts," lead author Juliana Cohen, research fellow in the Department of Nutrition at Harvard said in a news release describing the results.
One fresh produce advocate said the study proved the value of the updated standards.
"This study confirms what we are seeing in schools across the country, the new school lunch standards have resulted in students selecting and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables," Lorelei DiSogra, vice president of nutrition and health for the Washington, D.C.-based United Fresh Produce Association said in a statement. "As the Harvard study concludes, there is no reason for Congress to roll back or weaken the new nutrition standards for school lunch."
But the study didn't completely satisfy some critics, who would like to see a broader study of the issue.

Kashi Heart to Heart Honey Toasted Oat Cereal is one of my favorite cereals, so when I spotted Kashi Warm Cinnamon Oat Heart to Heart Cereal on the shelves of Target today, I was torn between getting this previously un-tried variety, or sticking with my old favorite. My adventurous side won out, and I picked up the slightly over-priced $3.39 box out of sheer curiosity.
The nutrition facts are almost the same as that of Kashi Heart to Heart Honey Toasted Oat Cereal. Each 3/4 cup serving provides 110 calories, 5 grams of fiber and 5 grams of sugars. The stellar ingredient list starts off with whole oat flour and can be viewed on Kashi's website.
Kashi Warm Cinnamon Oat Heart to Heart Cereal is one cereal that you need to pick up and try. It is worth every penny.

Hey there everyone,
Im in the process of planing a custom scenario on the eastern front
Im looking at modifiying the combine fire rule when firing on a unit with an armour value (armour 0 still counts)
It will be the active units full F/P plus 1 die for each unit combining fire (eg active unit T34 plus 2 T34's combine fire so 8 + 1 + 1 so fire power of 10) I think this helps represent the armour values of tanks much better.
Also i want to introduce facing for vehcles in the scenario to add more options tacticlly in the game, so will need to come up with flank armour values (this will take into account flank and rear armour)
The two tanks that will feature in the scenario are the T34 and Panther
For the Panther I was thinking of making it Flank armour 4 as the front of the panther was the part that was heavily armoured
For the T34 im unsure i was thinking of leaving it the same as its normal value at 5 but its armour was not as slopped as the front but around the same thickness on average.
Love to hear your thoughts

It is great to see that what was started at TCP is being carried out by other bloggers in a much more organized and regular fashion than at TCP. TCP readers have already jumped on to these blogs but those who still do not know about it, check the blogroll as it has a few links. I want to continue posting comics but I don't have a lot of my own left and I also have a lot less time than I used to have. I will try to post comics once in a while and if it is a repeat, please indulge me :-)
Here's one that I scanned a few minutes ago.
A note on non-comic posts:
I state my views here openly and don't expect others to agree with it or have any interest in it. If you do not want to read these views, you can ignore it and go on to the other wonderful sites for Indrajals, etc. If you want to have a conversation in the comments, that's great but if it gets personal or abusive, please don't expect me to engage you in any manner.
A note on comment responses:
This blog had turned into a online community with between 200-300 visitors every day, a community not just interested in comics but also in sharing their views about events around us. Responding to comments was the best part for me personally, and I must have responded to at least a few thousand comments. It was fun to "know" all those people and their views and I could even make out who is new and who is not. But due to some events and my reaction to it, that community was effectively dismantled. It is no longer fun to respond to comments and although I try, I do not always find the motivation for it. So comment responses will be very limited.

Thanks for a missing IJC.
Popularity of your blog tells whole story. I come to know (sadly) about your blog in Oct 2007 only. I was really impressed with not only frequency, but quality of posts. What you have done, is really very difficult to achieve a contemporary IJC blogger, it's not only visitors opinion many other bloggers accept it.
N.B. Pls provide a download link. There is some problem with page links. - December 12, 2008 11:22 AM

no comments (atleast mine) were personal.. that was my pov.. i still say that people like you who do not respect the loacal traditions, shud be thrown out of the mumbai.. any city infact...
i am a maharashtrian,, by chance i go to kolkata in the future to settle down, i must understand and follow the culture and traditions of that city, i cant go on saying " i wont speak bengali, i will speak only hindi and english...
is it wrong? - December 12, 2008 12:09 PM

dara is sagnik
rest you know, they are open. like anurag, anupam, ajay, sameer, prabhat
but nobody knows who u are.. and that gives u a permission to say all bullshits against anybody,,
why dont you come out openly and state your points,, we will respect that and it will be a healthy debate, - December 12, 2008 12:17 PM

Fascinating stuff…I grew up reading the collection of huge Indraajaal comics my uncle had collected over the years. And as a kid, who grew up in 90s, it was enlightening to see the difference and growth of comics from Indrajaal, to Diamond, Tulsi and RAJ.

Hey TCP,
I'm kinda sorry how the comment thing has turned out :(
Personally, I'm the kind of person that thinks 'What's in a name?' Any change has to be constructive - call it Chennai or Madras or something else, if its still as dirty, I see no point in the change. But then, I know I'm in the minority. Its sad that there's so much of intolerance and narrow-mindedness.. anyway, just thought I'd let you know that there are some liberal people around too :)
(I'm sure people are going to say I'm from Chennai too and that's why I "support" you, but who gives a damn?)
Its your blog and you can write whatever you feel like - not that I agree with everything you say - but I'm big enough to know people have different opinions and that its ok to have them. I wish there were more grown ups.. - December 15, 2008 10:57 PM
- Sketchy Self said...
TCP, I'm sorry too about the way the comments turned out. But I hope that doesn't discourage you from freely posting your thoughts on your blog.
Your blog has stood testimony to the fact that people from diverse backgrounds can come together around a common love, like vagrants around a campfire or animals at a watering hole.
But when ideas of perverted nationalism come in, where one thinks a country is one's "baap ki jagir" because of his language, it's hard to maintain the same sense of warmth. It's ironic that people who "met" over something as uniquely Indian as Indrajal are trying to squabble over what India should look like. - December 16, 2008 9:16 PM
- Cloudy said...
TCP, Sunshine, Sketchy and the rest of the gang - I missed you guys! And couldn't agree with you more. Well said, people.

Hi TCP, It's your blog, and you have every right to express your views. Don't worry much about the comments. Let's take the best to heart and leave the worst to rot.
Let's all be a happy blogging community shared by our mutual passion towards Comics in general.

@comic60: You definitely are first
@Prabhat: Thanks buddy.For some time, this was a genuine "movement", so many people coming together without knowing each other to get the comics online. And TCP ain't going anywhere. It won't be exclusively comics though - for that, you guys are doing a great job.
@ICC: "People like me"? :-) It's rather easy to judge and I really don't care much. But if the name of a city represents "local tradition" then it barely covers any ground, no? Bombay is above that, in my opinion. It's the greatest city in the world and its people make it that - locals and immigrants. Our antics in the last few years have only made it worse, not better.
@ICC: if you think my views are bullshit, that's an acceptable point. And I don't care about being known. Try running a blog for 3 years without being able to speak about it to anyone you know in real life :-) Especially when some friends come up to you and point you to this blog they found with comics in it :-)
If my anonymity prevents you from having a healthy debate, hell, there's not much I am going to do about it. Certain situations may warrant full disclosure, but I am not there yet.
Btw, it is also prudent.
@Anonymous-Rohit: Thanks. That's one thing I shouldn't be afraid to take credit for no? :-) But chalta hai...I enjoy it this way. Not a lot of comics to post but will keep going. You keep visiting ok?
@anonymous: It shows up for me..hmm
@nitesh: you are sOOOOOOOOOOO unlucky to grow up in the 90s...:-) Just kidding. But you got the 70s and 80s flavour so you are the LUCKIEST hehe.
@sunshine: yeah star..it sucks. I still call it Madras because that's what pops up, sometimes I call it chennai..coz it's not as close to me as say a bombay is.
Who gives a damn though! To each his own and sometimes no one is wrong even if they aren't right. And different opinions is what makes things fun, or it will feel like a gulag.
@sketchy: vagrants around a campfire..hehe..abbe tu ne to filmy dialogue maar diya :-) I feel its natural to squabble over something we love, we all want to paint it in our own way. Nationalism has become a joke. Jhanda lehrao, jai hind bolo, period. And yes, its nobody's "baap ka maal" :-) which is the bombay version of "baap ki jagir" . GOOD TO SEE YOU BUDDY.
@Cloudy: Welcome back. Missed you.
@Cloudy: Scribd is a bit heavy and since there are not a whole lot of comics to post now, a change in design doesn't seem to be essential.
@Rafiq Raja: Thanks. Hey you are the comicology guy. Cool blog. I like the comments, good or bad. Each one represents an opinion that I may or may not like but helps me understand different perspectives. More power to comments :) And HAPPINESS is overrated :) hehe
@anonymous: well, that is his call. the definition of bold..uff - December 21, 2008 8:09 PM

Dear TCP, hanks for the support!
I actually wanted to thank you a long time ago. around two years back, i just came across a indrajal comic and all my childhood memories flashed before my eyes! I just thought abou the internet and keyed in the search words, Indrajal Comics, and lo! i was shown your blog! I was so overjoyed, I spent 6 hourds that day, downloading and downloading all those gems! I specifically remember the #13, Samaris, which i still have a clean memory that i had read it sitting in a garden near my old house at around the age of 10, i.e. 26 years ago!!
Thanks to you, ICC, CW and all others because of whom i was provoked to start a blog!
You all are the first Phantoms, I am your decendant!!
THanks to you again!! - December 22, 2008 4:39 PM

Faux Fur Trim Puffer Jacket
Impressed with the quality!
I ordered this jacket in the mail, not knowing how it would fit or what the quality would be. When I opened up the package I was impressed immediately with the look and fit of the jacket (it was true to my size) as well as the materials used and the details on the jacket (for example, on the inside of the jacket, the pull-ties to tighten the waist were a nice additional feature, and the gold details make the piece look classy).
Very impressed with this order! Whenever I order by mail, it is hit or miss, but this order was definitely a hit!
December 11, 2012
Better than expected!!!
I was excited to find a coat in a champagne color, but was nervous it was going to be too light. I just got it in the mail and LOVE it! The color and coat altogether is gorgeous. Very classy. It is a slightly darker/brighter champagne color than is in the pictures (which is good because it's exactly what I wanted). I am 5'3" 115lbs and bought a small because I wanted it a tad bit longer and roomier, and the drawstring around the waist can make it more fitted if I want it.

Great Winter Jacket!
This is a great winter jacket! The quality is amazing and it was so much better than what I expected!. It runs a little large so there is a nice and relaxed fit. I live this jacket and will be wearing it all winter!

PLEASANTON, Calif. — Once again, the La Mirada, Calif.-based Fresh Produce & Floral Council's Northern California Expo was a sellout.
The eighth-annual show at the Alameda County Fairgrounds April 9 featured 158 booths where representatives from more than 200 companies unveiled new products and touted existing ones for produce and floral representatives from grocery chains like Sacramento-based Raley's Supermarkets and Pleasanton-based Safeway Inc., said Carissa Mace, council president.
About 600 representatives from retail produce and floral departments came out for this year's show. About 60% were from the produce side, and 40% were from floral.
Retailers found the expo worthwhile.
"We're always looking for new, innovative items and to reconnect with all our vendor partners," said Larry Tucker, produce buyer for Raley's.
Exhibitors also said they gained a lot from the expo.
"This is great exposure to be able to meet with the buyers in a one-on-one situation," said Don Krekorain, Green Giant Fresh national accountmanager for Growers Express LLC and Growers Marketing LLC, Salinas, Calif.
"The office environment is nice, but when you get a chance to interface with (buyers) and show them a broad spectrum of products and get their feedback, it's great," he said.
"We also get feedback on our competition," he added. "It's a very competitive arena."
Jennifer Pelayo, chairman of the council's Northern California Committee and business development manager for Advantage Sales & Marketing in Pleasanton, cited "multiple networking opportunities" as one advantage of attending the expo, along with the opportunity to "see all the new products and old friends — and new friends."
The Northern California Expo is patterned after the council's long-running Southern California version, but there are some differences.
Because of the geography of the region and the way the event has evolved, the Southern California Expo, held at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim in July, attracts more store-level personnel, Mace said.
"It's mainly management and buyers who come to the Northern California show," she said, though some store-level personnel also show up.
On the exhibitor side, some companies exhibit at one show or the other, depending on their market.
"Even though it's one state, it's really is two different marketplaces," Mace said.
However, she added, "There's a lot of crossover that do both shows."
The expo may be over, but there still are a number of FPFC events scheduled for Northern California this year.
In May, the council will host its annual Northern California golf tournament at a new location — the Callippe Preserve Golf Course in Pleasanton.
The annual bocce ball event is planned for September, and the council's September luncheon will feature Karen Ross, California's secretary of agriculture. Jim Corby, director of produce for Modesto-based Save Mart Supermarkets, will be master of ceremonies for that event.
Mace said Pleasanton is a good place to hold the expo because of its central location.
"It's easy for the folks from Save Mart in Modesto to get in, and Raley's comes down the night before and plans corporate meetings around the show," she said.

The Rubin Gateway to Himalayan Art and The Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room
Gateway to Himalayan Art and The Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room
Gateway to Himalayan Art and The Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room
Gateway to Himalayan Art acquaints visitors with the principal concepts of Himalayan art and its cultural contexts. A large multimedia map orients visitors to the geographic scope and diversity of the Himalayan region and adjacent cultural areas that comprise the greater Himalayan cultural sphere, including parts of India, China, and Mongolia. From there, visitors are invited to explore four main sections: Figures and Symbols, Materials and Techniques, Purpose and Function, and Tibetan Art in Context, which includes the Rubin Museum's Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room.
The exhibition as a whole provides visitors with tools for contextualizing and understanding the rich artistic traditions presented throughout the Museum. Large format graphic panels in the exhibition explain symbols and gestures used in Himalayan Hindu and Buddhist works of art. A three-dimensional installation presents in detail Nepalese lost wax technique in its six stages. Methods of thangka painting with ground mineral pigments and iconometry (guidelines for proportions) are explained with grid drawings alongside an actual painting of the same subject. In addition to paintings and sculpture, objects such as a stupa, prayer wheel, and ritual implements demonstrate that the accumulation of merit, the secular concerns of long life, wealth, and spiritual gains are sought by patrons, and hoped to be fulfilled through ritual use of these objects.
A Looking Guide, filled with tips for easy recognition of the Buddhist figures and symbols in this and other exhibitions throughout the Museum, is available as a take-home brochure.

Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room
A new Shrine Room, comprising nearly 130 objects, replaced the exhibition that has been on loan from the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, since 2010 with objects largely from the Rubin Museum's own collection, complemented by a few select loans. The Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room, part of Gateway to Himalayan Art, is one of the most visited and popular galleries at the Rubin Museum. Recreating the aesthetics and spirituality of a traditional Tibetan shrine room, it offers viewers the opportunity to experience Tibetan religious art in its cultural context.
Scroll paintings (thangka), sculptures of buddhas, bodhisattvas and tantric, female, and wrathful deities and portraits of teachers are arranged on traditional Tibetan furniture and according to the hierarchy they assume in Tibetan Buddhist practices. Such practices involve the use of ritual objects such as butter lamps, offering bowls, vajras and bells, hand-held drums, prayer beads, conch trumpets, and horns and reeds, which are also on view. Ornamental textile decorations of brocade silk, made by traditional masters of appliqué craft and hung on the ceiling and pillars are included in the Rubin Museum's presentation. The room, as with the previous installation, is complete with simulated flickering butter lamps and tables with low cushions normally present during religious practices.
The design of the Shrine Room accommodates these various objects while incorporating elements of traditional Tibetan architecture and color schemes used in Tibetan homes. Special wooden cabinets, often intricately carved and painted and called cho sham in Tibetan, are usually built to fit the space of a shrine room's main wall. The Rubin Museum commissioned a group of Tibetan carpenters to create one such cabinet for the central part of the Shrine Room installation. The installation will be accompanied by an interactive touch screen that will feature paintings, sculptures, and ritual items lent to the Museum as well as many of the Museum's own newly acquired and permanent collection objects.
The Museum will rotate its display every two years to present the four Tibetan religious traditions. The first installation reflects the Ancient Nyingma Tibetan Buddhist tradition as embraced by its later proponents. Among the main subjects found in the paintings and sculpture are Padmasambhava, the Lotus Born Teacher, Avalokiteshvara, the long-life deities such as Amitabha, Ushnishavijaya, and White Tara, and the Lion-faced Dakini, Simghamukha. Future installments of the Shrine Room will feature specific traditions such as Sakya, Kagyu, and Gelug.

And the Winter Meetings are flyin' by… I am loving the fact that baseball is once again at the forefront of people's minds although, as numerous people have noted (Mychael Urban and TR Sullivan both wrote great articles about this) there seem to be a lot of weird rumors coming this week, perhaps perpetuated by bored beat writers. No matter. It's very fun for me to watch general manager after general manager interviewed because I'm a player transaction geek. I am now stalking Jed Hoyer.
But who chose the hotel? There are so many shots of it on the MLB Network and pictures of it everywhere. They could at least have chosen a pretty building. To me, the happiest place on earth would not have hideous architecture.
I would also just like to say that I think Brad Pitt as Billy Beane is ridiculous. Billy is more charming and better looking, to boot.
Though I know I am obviously in the overwhelming minority of the female population when I say that. It's like Hayden Christensen playing Stephen Glass. Except I like Christensen, so I don't mind. And Shattered Glass is an incredible movie so I can forgive it. I'm not really sure how Moneyball will be as a movie, but I'm looking forward to it.
The real Stephen Glass on the left, Hayden Christensen, of wood-board Anakin Skywalker fame, on the right
So this all reminded me how much I love the book Moneyball and the three pearls of wisdom I always remember from it.
"'Why should noise have any more effect on the hitter than the pitcher?' says Billy, a little testily. 'If you're playing away, you can just pretend they are cheering for you.'
Haven't we all wondered this? I sure have.
"'In the last ten years guys started covering their lips with their gloves,' snaps Billy. 'I've never known a single lip-reader in baseball. What, has there been a rash of lip-reading I don't know about?'
And last but not least…
"The new pitcher, Ricardo Rincon, gets two quick outs and gives up just one run on a sacrifice fly: 11-7. With two out and runners on first and third, Art Howe [the manager], walks out yet again. This time he calls for right hander Jeff Tam, newly arrived from AAA, to face the right-handed Mike Sweeney, who is, at the moment, leading the American League in hitting.
"' Why? [says Billy] They take all this lefty-righty crap too far. What's wrong with leaving Rincon in?'"
Now I'm looking at the movie's IMDB listing and seeing that someone named Sergio Garcia is playing Jorge Posada. This is getting weirder by the second. I need to go back to reading that Alex Rodriguez is going to get traded for Joe Martinez.

Lamas MJ et al. – The impact of increased risk of toxicity attributed to the UGT1A variants may be offset by irinotecan in clinical practice by dose reduction or the use of colony–stimulating factor.
Methods- Genomic DNA was genotyped for UGT1A1 (*28, *60 and *93) from all 101 patients, and irinotecan dose was 180mg/m2 every second week.
- Clinical data were obtained by retrospective chart review.
- The primary endpoint is to find out whether the pharmacogenetic test in the clinical practice may predict toxicity.
- Grade 3/4 diarrhea occurred in twelve patients and required dose reduction in six patients, and neutropenia reached grade 3/4 in 19 patients (only one patient with *28/*28 genotype).
- The UGT1A1*93 seemed to relate with grade 3/4 neutropenia but only in the heterozygote state (G/A), p=0.071, and UGT1A*60 showed no association with neutropenia.
- Twenty-eight percentage of patients required the use of G-CSF; 64.3 % of them harbored *1/*28 or *28/*28 genotypes, p=0.003.
- Thirty-seven (36.6 %) patients required dose reduction of irinotecan and/or 5-FU owing to toxicity, mainly neutropenia and diarrhea.
- No significant association was detected between *28, *60 and *93 UGT1A variants and severe irinotecan-associated hematologic or GI toxicity.

Midwest Living Review
If you enjoy being on or near the water, Hillsdale Lake is a perfect destination. Powerboat and personal watercraft owners will find easily accessible boat ramps and pedestrian docks located throughout Hillsdale State Park. Water lovers who prefer to rent vehicles have plenty of options at Jayhawk Marina Inc., a terrific year-round asset at the lake. Watercraft owners may rent covered slips for the day; monthly and annual options are also available. The marina offers a heated indoor dock area and fueling station, too. Purchase a protective straw hat or water shoes, or savor a slice of pizza and a beer in the small snack shop. You'll find large bags of ice and plenty of refrigerated or shelf-stable snacks.
Swimming enthusiasts bring individual tents and huge coolers to small beaches along the lake, where adults watch youngsters from yard chairs as water laps against their feet. Fishermen angle for of walleye, catfish and other varieties, and everyone enjoys watching great blue heron flying over the water. The lake area also offers well-maintained restrooms and picnic shelters and plenty of horse trails. In addition, tent or RV campers can choose from multiple campsites, often with lake views. This is a great spot for loads of low-cost fun.

5 Free, Quick, Get-Happy-At-Home Tricks
The author of "The Happy Life Checklist" shares a hanfful of home-related tips
By Amy Spencer
1. Bring greenery inside.
I wish I could display a fresh, beautiful bouquet of flowers in my home very day, but let's get real: who has the money or the time to keep that up? So I turn to this faster and more frugal idea: Clip some greenery from the outdoors and bring that in. Sure, peonies are nice, but so are small branches of an evergreen. Studies have found that gazing at greenery can help hospital patients heal faster, can lower crime and can enhance creativity, as it symbolizes abundance and calm. Yet another way to "go green" and get happy at the same time.
2. Freshen up what's on your fridge.
Overhaul the hub of your house by switching up what's on that one simple surface. Clean off what's been there for years, then pin it full of different postcards, photographs, drawings, lists, or memories—or clear it full of any stuff at all!
3. Play the most joyful song you can think of.
It's good for your soul and heart. Researchers at the University of Maryland found that when participants listened to a joyful song, their blood vessels dilated by 26 percent, increasing cardiovascular health. And it may want to make you get up and dance, too. It's a happiness tool you probably have at your fingertips right now (on your computer or your phone), so use it! Find an upbeat Hawaiian tune, a dance track, a gospel song like "Oh Happy Day" or whatever else gets you going. Bring joy to your heart, literally.
4. Play "closet roulette."
Reach back into the depths of your closet and pull out something you haven't worn in ages, then work it into an outfit. You'll either find you forgot how much you loved it (score!) or you'll realize there's no reason to waste precious closet space with it a single day more.
5. Live in your beautiful mess.
That's right, a day full of mess can be beautiful, too, because it's your mess: dishes dirtied with a good meal, comforters crumpled from a long sleep, and sneakers in the hall after a day of family fun. Just once, don't stress about cleaning up and see the mess as a passing snapshot of a life that will be so much different a decade from now. Take in this moment, right now, and love your as-is mess for being all yours.
Amy Spencer is the author of Bright Side Up and Meeting Your Half-Orange, as well as a magazine journalist who has written for Glamour, Harper's Bazaar, New York magazine, CNN.com, Redbook, Health and others. Prior to writing full-time, she was an editor at Maxim, Glamour, and Star magazines. She was a radio host on Sirius XM radio and has appeared on NBC, CBS, VH1 and the E! channel and more.

Ignoring the flexible beam targeting capability of the Spaceway birds, either one of the new satellites should have the spot beam capacity of SW1 and SW2 combined.
Spending targetable beams on an area half again the size or Maryland seems like a waste.
Actually, you are likely correct, that the new birds will be able to cover as many or more areas as the space ways. But that makes your second part so very wrong. You can now use the entire bandwidth of the space ways to give an entire market every channel that is on the other main birds that the other main birds can't hit because of positioning, but the space ways can. Seems like a no brainer to me.

It seems that the Empire is tired of all the Jedi wearing, droid loving fans praising the rebel alliance on this day and have created a video calling for supporters to strike back! In this wonderful Star Wars Video the Empire talks of the dangers from the rebel alliance and asks you to support the cause. So today on the May the 4th which side are you going to choose? |
