Atmosphere: 4/5
Service: 4/5 (VERY Variable)
Drinks: 4/5
Food: 4/5
Overall: 4/5; Amazing Burger if you're just there for beef and their truffle fries are the best around. But everything seems like it could use some tweaking.
It wasn't long ago that my desire for a burger meant I had to visit a fast-food establishment. Then my roomy Andrew pointed me to Five Guys Burgers. I was impressed – in his own words, Five Guys provided you with 'The burger I would make at home if I had the time.' That is, a simple, straight-forward burger with the toppings you want along with a bagful (literally) of fries. No more, no less. Then, shortly thereafter I was introduced to B-Spot, Iron Chef Michael Simon's extraordinary burger joint (which has several locations, one in The Q (Quicken Loans Arena if you don't know (Oh yeah, I'll brackets within brackets, and there's no telling when it will stop!)), and one in Eaton Plaza on Chagrin Blvd which I visit semi-regularly and am always very happy with). Since then, I have had my eyes opened to the myriad of higher end burger places that are around NEO. The Rail was pointed out to me last summer by Ryan, one of my favorite co-workers and a man whose opinion is not to be disregarded. He said, simply, that as far as just enjoying the beef aspect of a burger, the Rail kicked butt. I had to try it, and quickly found myself another burger bar that I find excuses to go to.
If you are the sort of person who looks around, and up, when you go places, it will quickly be clear to you why they called it the Rail. There is a rail on the ceiling with about a half dozen meat hooks descending from it at various intervals. Yes, I know, eating while recalling a mental image of the Jungle isn't my idea of a good time either, but still, it's clever and I can appreciate that. Further, as the upside down cow with all of the counties of Ohio prominently displayed above their kitchen window is strongly hinting, they are very proud of the fact that they serve fresh Ohio beef. That's the sort of thing I can get behind. Aside from those two very specific aspects, it could be one of those 'less is more' bar and grills that you can appreciate when you just want to have a beer and watch a game. Well, except that it is not a great place to watch a game because their televisions, while large, just aren't very well placed. It's the sort of scenario where pretty much anywhere you sit, you will end up staring at a TV far away because the closest one to you will put your neck at an angle that only your chiropractor will enjoy. Ultimately, it struck me as the sort of quiet place to go and enjoy my meal while still keeping an eye on the game. Not for watching, but for the occasional peek sure to annoy the female in your life.
The wait staff is friendly and for the most part, energetic and knowledgeable. I've had some waiters there who were excellent, and a few who were duds, though that seems to be more of the exception than the rule. And their GM is a very jovial fellow who legitimately cares about the quality of your experience. I had the misfortune to get a burnt burger there once, an egregious error by my waiter considering I had ordered it medium-rare. The manager immediately spirited it away, brought me the replacement himself, and made sure to remove it from the bill. It made me pretty happy, especially because their double, which is what I ordered that day, ended up being my least favorite burger there. Long story short – the service should please you, though if it doesn't, know you likely got the runt of that shift's litter and that it isn't indicative of the service normally.
The drinks and the burgers at the Rail suffer from the same malady, so I will group them together. Have you ever had a friend who was just nice? Never took anything off the table, metaphorically speaking, but didn't really bring anything to it either. You like them fine, but you sure wish that just once they'd surprise you with something new or unique. That, for me, is the Rail when it comes to creativity. Yeah, the Burgers and Drinks are good. Their Long Island Iced Tea, one of my restaurant standards, is satisfying and well proofed. Two of them will have you happy and three will likely force you to hand over your keys. Here's an young bartender's trick regarding Long Islands for those of you who can't seem to get a good one – sub out the sour mix (the uber-sweet mixer that, though cloying and invariably makes the drink worse, manages to sneak itself into WAY too many beverages) for ginger ale. Ginger ale provides you with the subtle bite of the sour mix (as well as a way to make the drink from being just a glorified shot) without hitting you over the head with its sweetness. Seriously, try it sometime. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It may not make you love the Long Island, but I bet you'll enjoy it more. Anyhow, let's get away from that rabbit trail and back to the main point. The biggest weakness of the Rail is that their menu – drink and food alike – suffers from a bad case of ordinary. Their most intriguing burger topping is their tobacco onions (hint, they're sauteed onions. Delicious, but hardly intriguing). Admittedly, their draw seems to be their beef and maybe they're just wanting to make sure they're not over-powering it, but…I mean…to quote the ESPN football crew – C'mon Man! Give me something to raise my eyebrows and make me wonder. Bring some mystery back to the Men/Menu relationship! That being said, whatever I've ordered I have been happy with. On my most recent visit I ordered the Bon Fire, a burger with Jalapeños, Pepper Jack cheese and their special sriracha chilli sauce. It deliver yet another single in a long line of singles. The difference between the Rail and other burger joints though, is that I really do enjoy their beef, even naked. In fact, I always make a point to have one bite of just beef every time. No bun, no condiments, no toppings. Just plain, grilled, Ohio grown/fed/slaughtered beef. Delicious and satisfying every time. Now imagine if I could get that with a myriad of pickles (assorted varieties please), and maybe a horseradish mayo or habañero pepper sriracha – ahh, now you have intrigued my palate!
Aside from the Burgers though, there is one dish that I order every time I go – Truffle Oil Fries. I've had their onion rings (need to be more crunchy) and their regular fries (delightfully plain), but I can't ever bring myself to NOT order the Truffle fries. The good people at the Wire are firmly dedicated to dousing each batch of fries with as much Truffle oil as they can handle, then liberally add sliced Parmesan cheese, just for a break in the monotony, as if Truffle Fries can ever be monotonous! My lovely girlfriend will eschew the second half of her burger in order to maximize her Truffle Fry consumption, which makes me happy because that means pretty much every time I go there I get to try two different burgers. Everyone's a winner at the Rail folks.
The Rail is a simple Ohio burger joint for us simple Ohio folk – it's a no nonsense burger that you will enjoy thoroughly. Sure it could be more interesting, sure it could be more daring and sure, it could be more creative. Well, you know what, so could Ohio, but I love it just as it is. Wouldn't change a thing. Although the Rail does provide a handy dandy suggestion sheet opposite the bill at the end of every meal, so feel free to do what I do, and frequently suggest ways to make it better. Like spicing up their avocado spread, or, like Ohio chose to do this year, cancel winter altogether. Then we can all be happy.

I've really learned a lot here these past few weeks, but at the time I transplanted my seedlings into the ground, I was obviously not as well-informed. Ahem..
This plant is a better boy that already has 42 tiny tomatoes forming on it and dozens more blossoms. Ive also got a couple heirloom varieties (striped German, big red) in there whose heights im also concerned about. the winds today are 20 mph and those stupid dingy cages are already leaning over and scaring me. Next time I will for sure construct some cages from CRW, but for now, I'm trying to decide the best route to help this situation. I've seen others tie another conical cage upside down to the top of the first cage to extend height, but if I'm going to do that, I need some way to stabilize the whole thing. I was thinking of some rebar placed in the ground on either side of each cage, then attached to the cages, but won't I damage the root system? Is that a risk I have to take at this point to keep from losing my plants altogether? What about cord or wire that anchors the cages to the side of the raised bed somehow? I've never seen that done but it seems like it could work. The only problem would be doing it on all 5 plants. Any ideas/thoughts would be greatly appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think you could use the rebar or some long wooden stakes. I don't know if I would try to add another cage on top, you could probably just tie the large stems to your stakes and grow them like staked plants. The stakes will have to go pretty deep into the ground to do any good. I don't know how you could anchor them to the beds, it will be the top that is heavy and falling over--I don't see how that would work? Another option would be installing a large cage over the small one you already have, but getting to your tomatoes would be a pain for the lower branches. Or, you could just let them grow out and sprawl. It would make them more vulnerable to pests on the ground, but as long as you put plenty of soft mulch (like straw) underneath them to keep the leaves from getting dirty, it would probably do ok. |
If it were me I would get two 6 to 8 foot T-posts and put them on the inside of the cage. As the plant grows taller than the cage you can tie twine between the two posts on either side of the tomato stems to keep them growing vertically. The posts will keep the cage upright and prevent it from blowing down. |
Aw, Greg beat me to it, posting in the time it took me to log in! ;) except if your other tomatoes are in a line with this one, I would put the posts at either end of the row and run twine through on a few levels, which could keep the bottoms stable. Then as the plants grow higher you could do a Fl. weave above the tops of the cages. 6 ft posts would work too, but by the time you got them in they would only be 5 ft or less tall. |

I agree with Julie717 I am planning to buy rebar from Home Depot. they have 22 feet length in 3/8" diameter for $6 or so. I can easily get three 7' sections out of it. 12" goes into the ground and 6' is how high I want my support stakes. THen I plan on making florida weive usig jute twine. Last year I used 1/2 x 4 stakes that were 5' long, did ok but I wish I have couple more feet of support at top. |
You can add 3 guide wires to it, hammer 3 stakes in the ground about 2-3 feet away and attach 3 wires. Add another cage to the top, wire the two together and add the guide wires. |
I have some of those baby cages & I use bamboo canes, 12-18 inches in the ground around the cage. The canes are 6-8 feet above ground. I think I will make wire cages, for next years crop. |
sunnibel, I am using the Florida Weave for the first time this year, one of my many experiments. The plants just got their first tying in today. |

Are You Being Watched? Beware of Spyware
If you are reading this, you probably have Spyware. That doesn't mean your boss is watching you, however, but somebody else is. Steve La, director of Network Services, is the person in charge of protecting the campus' computers from viruses and anything of that nature that may affect student, staff and faculty ability to work in a secure environment. Anywhere from 100,000-700,000 viruses attempt to infiltrate the campus computer system every day, according to La. And, as if viruses and SPAM don't provide enough headaches for La, now he has a relatively new concern called Spyware. We have been working with how to protect the campus from viruses so that has been an ongoing thing, said La, but Spyware really concerns me because it is hard to prevent Spyware.La was asked about Spyware and what CSULB students, staff, and faculty can do to protect themselves from it. What exactly is Spyware? What are common ways Spyware gets onto a computer? Is it really faster? What are symptoms of having been infected by Spyware? Besides a person loading certain software, what are the most common
ways Spyware can get on your computer? So, what do we do to help our faculty, staff and students? Many people access from home, right? So with hundreds of ways for Spyware to invade a computer, how can
you prevent it? Who is at most risk on campus? How long have we been working on fighting Spyware? Are we developing our own? But that doesn't protect everyone on campus, right? Have you heard of any instances were people on campus have lost money
because of Spyware? How big a worry should this be for the average person? |

Field Report: Klotz Digital Vadis DC II
When Clear Channel Communications consolidated its Chicago broadcast facilities in 2002 and 2003, a search began for an integrated solution to tie all seven of the stations together as one technical facility. Several vendors came up with solutions, but for us the Vadis DC II from Klotz Digital stood out above all the rest.
What we were looking for was the ability to dynamically route digital and analog audio, as well as dynamically route machine control, across 28 studios that could potentially be shared by any of the seven stations. The facility was designed with clusters of four studios for each station, with several of those studios shared by everyone. A central Technical Operations Center (TOC) houses the bulk of the audio equipment, but each station's main studio is configured so it can act as a stand-alone island, and go on the air independently.
Performance at a glance |
Integrated router and console design Software-defined operation Hardware and software modularity End-user programmable Expandable console work surfaces |
When we reviewed the various systems, the sales staff at Klotz explained carefully that the Vadis system is a completely new concept of how to do things, and showed us exactly what their hardware was capable of doing. The full effect of that statement did not sink in until things were operational for a year, and changes needed to be made in the facility. Forget the punch tools and soldering irons, just rewrite some configuration files and the entire personality of the facility can change.
Equipment setup
The Vadis system is a versatile hardware routing system that has every cross point, button, lamp, relay and opto-isolated input defined in software. The basis of operation is time-domain multiplex (TDM) routing of digital data that is clocked serially through the system at the sample rate. That rate is defined at sample rates of 44.056kHz, 44.1kHz, 47.925kHz or 48kHz.
Hardware cards plug into mainframes handling functions such as fiber I/O (64 channels wide), AES in/out (eight stereo pairs), AD/DA (four channels) and digital signal processing (DSP). All inter-frame audio data is handled on fiber, and all supervisory control data is handled on a proprietary Ethernet network using the 802.3 protocol. External machine control is handled by Ethernet based hardware GPI boxes each capable of 32 I/O channels, or directly off the frame itself in the case of the compact audio frame, the V220.
The user interface can be a modular (hardware-based) console work surface, a virtual PC-based (touch-screen) work surface or a combination of both. Because every button and fader is defined and controlled in software, imagination is the only limitation on the configuration possibilities.
The software to accomplish all of this is a text-based programming language that is made available to the end user. Using Klotz standard syntax, the entire system can be defined to meet specific needs. The learning curve for the code is somewhat steep, but once the basics are learned it is easy to implement. Klotz Digital offers a week-long training school so that engineers in the field can modify and maintain their own facilities. Users are encouraged to attend these classes.
As for running a console on a Microsoft product, it's not a problem. A PC runs the GUI, control and routing for the attached Vadis frame. The Windows 2000 OS itself is stable, as long as it is not running MS software applications. The system architecture is designed so that shutting down anything except the Vadis frame itself does not interrupt the audio. For service of the frame, we have two levels of bypass. First, a software bypass done in the TOC with Vadis routing, and second, a total Vadis bypass by putting the station's automation system direct to air. This is used in case we want to update firmware or software in parts of the Vadis system that are common to all stations. In addition, each air studio can act as a stand-alone island, routing direct to air, in case the entire technical operations center was to go down. This is unlikely due to the multiple soft-switched fiber paths and routings designed into the system as we configured it.
From the board operator's point of view the entire system acts like a standard console. The only studios that are a bit different are the voice-track rooms, which house a four-fader work surface and a touch screen. The functions of monitor switching and level control are all handled with soft keys written into the GUI. Those four-faders can be programmed on the fly to be any source in the facility if we choose. Normally we limit the jock to seeing only what he needs to see for the job at hand. If we wanted, the consoles could be day-parted so that the less experienced operators could not get into trouble. They would see only what we want them to.
The next step of development for our system will be integration of a front door intercom system to the studios. Included will be a touch screen interface, a menu driven GUI designed to be non-technical, GPI control of two-way video (externally switched) and interactive station audio monitoring. As I said, the imagination is the only limit to what can be done.

After a year's operation, the system has proven that the choice was right. When asked by a competitor what he thought of the Klotz Vadis DC II system, Market Director of Engineering Bob Fukuda said, "They will have to pry it out of my cold dead fingers, before I give this system up."

I have no linen closet right now, and no way to add one in the hallway, which is where I've always had them in other houses. I want to add a small closet when I remodel the bathroom. We're moving a wall over about 24" to accomodate a vanity. I have space to put a linen closet next to the vanity, but I don't know about storing sheets and pillows as well as towels in the bathroom. (There will be ample storage in the vanity and medicine cabinets to handle all the non-linen stuff.)
I have an alternative: I could also use the same space for a closet that we access from the adjacent room. Construction of the closet in the adjacent room would be a little trickier, but not a major challenge. This room will be a combo office/sewing room/dressing room/closet for all my clothes and projects, so it wouldn't be awkward to have designated linen storage in there (i.e. not invading the privacy of a bedroom). What would you do? Simple and inside the bathroom, or more fiddly but outside the bathroom? |

If it's not a problem to store towels, I don't see how it would be a problem to store sheets. |

I was concerned about having a linen closet in the bathroom, but the door shuts tight enough that it doesn't get moist in there from showers and such, so you're probably ok. |
Many homes have linen storage in the bathroom. I've had several master and other bathrooms with this arrangement. No problems whatsoever. It's very convenient to have towels and sheets right at hand. As long as you have adequate ventilation in your bathroom, you should have no problems. I certainly wouldn't want linen storage in another room, maybe a cabinet in a hallway would be OK. It sounds like building linen storage in the other room would cost more, too. |
Thanks, everyone! I'm reassured. It's just kind of odd that my previous houses have all had hallway linen closets. My current house is nearly closet-free, unfortunately, so I need to get re-oriented! |
I'd put it in the other room. I'm sure it's fine, what with modern ventilation, tight-closing doors, and whatnot, but bathrooms do often have smells. Nice smells, usually, but bathroomy. Soapy. Or I'd use it for towels only and get a small armoire to hold linens in the spare room. It just ain't right to keep those things in the bathroom! |
The real issue is how often you use the linen. I've had a linen closet in the bathroom for 19 years and it has never been a problem. However, all the stuff in the bathroom closet is used pretty regularly ... nothing sits in there for months without being used. On the other hand, the linen in my hall closet which gets little use is a problem. I always have to wash the linen again before guests come. |
i think linen closets are placed in the hallway so that all the bedrooms/bathrooms have access to it, not because storage in the bathroom causes mildew or whatever... when we remodeled our master bath i put in a cabinet linen storage unit for our master bedroom sheets and towels, etc---i love it!! it's much more convenient then having them in our hallway closet. and, there's no problem with them getting damp or musty whatsoever! |
There's probably some risk that an in-bathroom linen closet will gradually have to share space with toiletries, hair dryers and such. Maybe that's why it's not the obvious place for one? Anyhow, it sounds like it would be fine for things in use constantly, but maybe not the best for down comforters and pillows and other things only pulled out on occasion. And busybee, I agree that it's great to have the bedding for each room as close to that room as possible. No mixing of the sheets! |
"There's probably some risk that an in-bathroom linen closet will gradually have to share space with toiletries, hair dryers and such." kmcg, you've got that part right. I should have mentioned that my bathroom linen closet not only has the linen for the master bed and bath, but also extra toilet paper, soap, all sorts of extra toiletries, etc. And I keep my laundry basket ont the floor of the linen closet. The closet shelves are so much more accessible than storing stuff under my small vanity. So I like having a linen closet in the bathroom. |
- Posted by EngineerChic (My Page) on Fri, Jul 27, 12 at 7:54
I agree with the last poster. We have a linen closet in the 1st floor bath and until this thread I never thought of it as a linen closet. I thought of it as, "alternate vanity storage since we only have a small wall mounted sink in there and dammit the stuff has to go somewhere!" -EChic |

text: YouTube converts videos from 2D to 3D and the time limit is[15:22 thu,22.September 2011 by Thomas Richter] YouTube today announced three exciting new features: First, can now uploaded videos are automatically converted from 2D to (stereoscopic) 3D. The new feature is found - unless you are logged - on each side of the video "edit info" and then under "3D video". The quality of the resulting s3D video is probably not due to the automatic conversion too well and contain spatial-error perspective - rather a fun feature (that even the YouTube 3D channel more crowded). Second: YouTube now believes apparently, copyright violations using the ContentID system as far as to have under control and to automatically recognize that without fear of greater punishment or compensation payments to the film industry now all can be posted by users uploaded movies. Therefore, the (increased until some time ago) is to limit the length film for user uploaded movies to a wider circle of users: each user with an extra www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?&answer = 1628029 (SMS verified account), a clean track record (think: no warnings about uploading content copy-protected) and further respect for copyright rules can now upload movies to YouTube. This feature is aimed primarily at serious filmmakers, their works can now publish all on YouTube. Third, next to your own Youtube binds YouTube video editor, two other free platforms (and Vlix Magisto) to assist the creation of videos that will then make their way to each of the video editing home videos . They are authorized by Google account so that the finished video is then uploaded the same in their own YouTube channel. Vlix mainly offers a lot more colorful of video effects such as black & white filter, posterize, Old film look, Super-8 look, backward, or X-Ray. In addition, even the intro and outro texts are added, and the video will be posted on YouTube by clicking. The length of the videos is limited to 5 minutes. Zielguppe: amateur filmmakers who want to provide their clips with simple effects. Under the new Update of the YouTube Editors, however, are the additional features of Vlix not very convincingly. ð = VY PamgPem7_OQ Magisto, however, is aimed at users who want to make themselves even less trouble with their video: Magisto offers - the fully automatic cut - as some already cut programs for beginners. Because, as the CEO of Israeli start-ups Magisto: "Normal people do not cut video" and download so boring, high for too long clips that no one wants to watch. Magisto wants to redress this: Up to 16 (raw) video files uploaded to Magisto and with titles and soundtrack will be provided - after a wait of about 30 minutes, which notifies users that their video can be cut done online visit and geshart. Magisto pledges to recognize the significant moments via a video analysis, these moments cut together and provided with effective aperture and produce as a result of a short "fun" video - here examples . Investors is the belief in the success of the concept and a new round of funding have contributed 5.5 million U.S. dollars. ð = VY 2YL41fGxzvY This is caused by online video editors growing competition for low-end entry-level editing and effects programs. Videos shot by mobile phone can then be uploaded right from there and with the right app or online editing with effects and cut automatically or submitted via YouTube - all without a PC. more infos at bei youtube-global.blogspot.comdeutsche Version dieser Seite: YouTube wandelt Videos von 2D nach 3D und die Zeitbeschränkung fällt

'Steel Magnolias' Will Premiere On Lifetime On October 7
The highly anticipated Lifetime movie remake of "Steel Magnolias" will premiere on Sunday, October 7 at 9 p.m. ET.
Queen Latifah stars in the made-for-tv film, an adaptation of the iconic play and 1989 film of the same name, as M'Lynn. She's also executive producing "Steel Magnolias," which co-stars Phylicia Rashad as Clairee, Adepero Oduye as Annelle, Condola Rashad as Shelby, Jill Scott as Truvy and Alfre Woodard as Ouiser.
The updated version of "Steel Magnolias" chronicles the lives of six women in Louisiana who congregate at Truvy's beauty shop to talk, laugh, cry and, of course, get their hair and nails done. Like the 1989 flick, M'Lynn's daughter will be diabetic and pregnant.
"Queen Latifah, Phylicia, Alfre, Jill, Adepero and Condola are some of the most celebrated women in music, film, television and stage," Nancy Dubuc, president and general manager of Lifetime Entertainment, said in a statement. "And we could not be more thrilled and honored for them to bring Robert Harling's poignant story about the strength of women to a whole new generation."

Agamas, The Sacred Texts Of Saivism By Jayaram V The word "agama" means authoritative scripture. It was used by Panini, the Sanskrit grammarian, as a linguistic term, to describe the formation of certain words. Tantric and Saiva tradition recognizes the agamas as the most authoritative and sacred texts on the methods of worshipping Saguna Iswara or the Brahman with qualities. In a limited sense the agamas are tantric texts containing the principles and practice of Saivism, presented in the form of a teaching by Lord Siva to His consort Parvathi. in contrast, the nigamas, another branch of sacred litetature, depict Parvathi as the teacher and Siva as its recipient. According to the Tantric tradition, the Vedas are nigamas. Scholars believe that the earliest Agamas were composed during the later Vedic period, when the Vedic rituals were on the decline and Saivism, Vaishnavism and other religious sects were gaining ground. Not all agree with this contention. Some believe the earliest agamas to be much older than the Vedas. There is also an argument that some of the Upanishads and even some portions of the Bhagavadgita were renditions of preexisting agamas. Followers of Siva consider these texts superior to the Vedas. Unlike the Vedas, the Agamas are meant for all castes and sections of society, including women. While the many agamas belong to Saivism and recognize Siva as the Supreme deity, there are also Vaishnava and Shakti agamas which recognize Vishnu and Shakti respectively as the Supreme Iswara. There is no unanimity as to the actual number of the agamas. Based upon who is recognized as the principal deity, the agamas are divided into Saiva, Vaishnava and Shakti or Tantra agamas. The Pancaratra Agamas and the Vaikanasa Agama belong to the Vaishnava tradition. The Saiva agamas, which contritubuted to the popularity of the southern school of Saiva Siddhanta philosophy and northern school of the Pratyabhijna system of Kashmir Saivism, are divided two distinct categories, namely the 28 Saiva Siddhanta Agamas and 64 Agamas belonging to both the Nakulisa Pasupatha and the Kashmiri Trika schools of Saivism. The Kaula, Mishra and Samaya agamas are considered to be part of the Shakti tradition. The Vaishnava agama is further divided into Pancharatra and Vaikanasa Agama. The smartas, who acknowledge the Vedas as the supreme and follow the Vedic tradtion, recognize the Agamas, but don't necessarily adhere to them. In the Malay languages the word Agama literally means religion. The Agamas are also sometimes known as Tantras. There is no unanimity as to what constitue the 28 Agamas of the Saiva Siddhanta schools. According to one classification, of the 28 agamas, ten represent the school of Advaita (monism) or Sivabheda and the rest the school of Vishishtadvaita (qualified monism)or Rudrabheda. The 28 Agamas are listed below: The Sivabheda Agamas 1) Kamika, 2) Yogaja, 3) Chintya, 4) Karana, 5) Ajita, 6) Dipta, 7) Sukshma, 8) Sahasraka, 9) Amshumat and 10) Suprabheda. The Rudrabheda Agamas (1) Vijaya, 2) Nihshvasa, 3) Svayambhuva, 4) Anala, 5) Vira (Bhadra), 6) Raurava, 7) Makuta, 8) Vimala, 9) Chandrajnana (or Chandrahasa), 10) Mukhabimba (or Bimba), 11) Prodgita (or Udgita), 12) Lalita, 13) Siddha, 14) Santana, 15) Sarvokta (Narasimha), 16) Parameshvara, 17) Kirana and 18) Vatula (or Parahita). The following excerpts regarding the Agamas are taken from the Wikipdedia. "Agamas deal with the philosophy and spiritual knowledge behind the worship of the deity, the yoga and mental discipline required for this worship, and the specifics of worship offered to the deity. Each Agama consists of four parts. The first part includes the philosophical and spiritual knowledge. The second part covers the yoga and the mental discipline. The third part specifies rules for the construction of temples and for sculpting and carving the figures of deities for worship in the temples. The fourth part of the Agamas includes rules pertaining to the observances of religious rites, rituals, and festivals. "Elaborate rules are laid out in the Agamas for Silpa (the art of sculpture) describing the quality requirements of the places where temples are to be built, the kind of images to be installed, the materials from which they are to be made, their dimensions, proportions, air circulation, lighting in the temple complex etc. The Manasara and Silpasara are some of the works dealing with these rules. The rituals followed in worship services each day at the temple also follow rules laid out in the Agamas. "The Agamas state three essential requirements for a place of pilgrimage - Sthala, Teertham and Murthy. Sthala refers to the temple, Teertham, to the temple tank and Murthy to the deity(ies) worshipped. A temple may also be associated with a tree, called the Sthala Vriksham. For instance, the Kadamba tree at the Madurai Meenakshi Sundareswarar temple is the Sthala Vriksham. A lone banyan tree that adorns the spacious courtyard of the Ratnasabha at Tiruvalankadu is the Sthala Vriksham. The entire area is believed to have been a forest of banyan trees once." Review1.

The Melbourne InFANT (Infant Feeding Activity and Nutrition Trial) Program
Led by Associate Professor Karen Campbell and Dr Kylie Hesketh, this was an intervention program delivered to first-time parents of infants aged three months at recruitment, to encourage healthy habits from the start of life. It focused on parenting skills that support the development of positive diet and physical activity behaviours in infants from three to 18 months of age. Using an anticipatory guidance framework the intervention provided parents with knowledge, skills, confidence and social support to provide their infants with healthy food and activity environments from an early age. It worked within first-time parent groups to maximise social support for health behaviour change.
Results indicated:
Parent participation and engagement were high.
Parental knowledge about, and self-efficacy to achieve, healthy infant eating and active play behaviours increased. Maternal diet improved.
Compared to mothers not involved in the Infant Program, mothers in the Program:
Children's diet improved and television viewing reduced.
Compared to children not involved in the Infant Program, children in the Program:

Follow-up of the Melbourne InFANT program participants
Funding was received to follow-up the participants of the Melbourne InFANT Program when the children were three and a half years and five years of age. The follow-up aimed to assess whether the differences observed between the intervention and control groups at the conclusion of InFANT were maintained to three and a half years and five years of age. Data analysis is in progress.

InFANT Extend Program
The InFANT Extend Program aims to test the effectiveness of a childhood healthy eating and active play intervention delivered to first-time parents and focused on parenting skills that support the development of positive diet, physical activity and low-level sedentary behaviours from infancy. The study also aims to extend findings from the Melbourne InFANT program by assessing the impact of an additional low-dose intervention provided until children are three and a half years of age.

HAPPY (Healthy Active Pre-school (and Primary) Years) Study
Led by Dr Kylie Hesketh, this study examined physical activity and sedentary behaviours of young children aged three to five years to identify factors across multiple domains impacting on these behaviours, including childcare/preschool policy and physical environments, neighbourhood characteristics, home environments, social factors and parental influences. Children from low, mid and high socioeconomic areas across metropolitan Melbourne (six local government areas) were recruited from preschools and long day care centres.
Results showed that the children spent an average of 85 per cent of their waking time being sedentary (sitting or standing still) and only 2.5 per cent of children aged three to five years were meeting the national guideline of three hours of activity each day. Additionally, 63 per cent of the children in the study exceeded the guideline of one hour or less of TV/screen-based entertainment each day.
The HAPPY Follow Up study followed the baseline cohort until they were aged six to eight years. The aims were to examine changes in the physical activity and sedentary behaviour patterns of young children as they transition from preschool to primary school. Data analysis is in progress.
The HAPPY Study has been funded for a second follow up of children now aged nine to 11 years and data collection commenced in July 2014. The aims of this current follow up are to:

Funding acknowledgement: The Happy Follow Up study and Second Follow Up study have been funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC).
Led by Alfred Deakin Professor Jo Salmon, Transform-Us! is a recently completed intervention that involved 20 primary schools, over 220 teachers and reached over 1600 children and parents. Over two and a half years Transform-Us! targeted increases in physical activity and reductions in sedentary behaviours through the following feasible approaches:
After two and a half years children significantly increased their physical activity at recess and lunchtime by 33 minutes per week and significantly reduced their sitting time by 196 minutes per week. Further information regarding cardio-metabolic health impacts of Transform-Us! will be available late 2014. Preliminary cost analysis shows that Transform-Us! is a very low cost intervention, costing on average $30.08 per child per year ($0.08 per child per day).
Funding acknowledgement: The Transform-Us! study was supported by a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Project Grant (ID533815) and a Diabetes Australia Research Trust (DART) grant.
NEARBY (NEighbourhood Activity in Youth project)
The NEighbourhood Activity in Youth project (NEArbY) aims to determine the neighbourhood features (around home and school) that are important for youth participation in physical activity (e.g. sport participation, active transport), sedentary behaviours (e.g., screen use, sitting time), social engagement (e.g. social connections), and eating behaviours (e.g. fruit, vegetable, snack food, soft drink intake). This study involves partners from the health, planning, transport and infrastructure sectors and is using innovative research techniques to inform urban design and policy to create neighbourhoods that support healthy active lifestyles among adolescents.
This study will involve 1,280 adolescents from Years 7 to 12 (aged ~12-17 years, balanced by sex) attending approximately 40 co-educational government secondary schools in Melbourne. Adolescents will be recruited from a diverse range of neighbourhoods in Melbourne (varying in 'walkability' and income).

Gould's Monitor V. g. gouldii |
Ah, my first Australian "goanna". This beautiful lizard was spotted along the side of a dirt road by our Australian friends Martin Cohen and Julia Cooper. Sand monitors range throughout nearly all of Australia, but normally they don't let you get quite this close.
Australian monitor lizards are often called "goannas". The word "goanna" is believed to be an old corruption of "iguana", probably given by early European travellers who were familiar with the common iguanas of the Americas but were not familiar with other large lizards.
Martin and Julia now run Wild About Australia, so others can benefit from their wildlife expertise as I did.
Here is a complete list of the reptiles and frogs I saw on this trip to Australia.
Here is a complete list of the reptiles and frogs I saw on this trip to Western Australia.
We saw about the same number of these monitors on this trip as we had on the previous trip, but they were even more easily spooked this time. I could only get a few halfway decent photos, and those only from inside our rental car.
After taking this photo, I slowly got out of the car to try to approach more closely, but the lizard had other ideas, and raced off.
Ive written up an account of this three-week trip to Australia here.
Our favorite view of a Varanus gouldii on this trip was of this handsome fellow just getting out of bed in the morning.

Elaine (Hughes) Andolina (N'73) and John (C'72, M'76) Andolina
Ours is a two generation love story! I met my husband John on October 2, 1969, the first day of biology lab. I was late to lab (so many people to talk to rushing from class in Walsh to Reiss!). Father Bauer motioned me up to the last spot left, across from John. We became fast friends and started dating second semester. We married in 1974 at Holy Trinity and have three children. I chaired the AAP committee in Rochester all these years and dragged the kids up to bio lab in Reiss every year at chairmen's meetings.
Our oldest, Jeff (C'00), was assigned MY room on 4th Darnall and met his wife Sarah (Gallick)(C'00) in October of HIS sophomore year (they met over a euchre game in the lounge). Jeff also went on to med school (at UVA) and he and Sarah married in 2004, also at Holy Trinity. There are too many coincidences to recount (for example, my roommate married John's roommate and Jeff's roommate married Sarah's!!). Their rehearsal dinner was at the top of the Key Bridge Marriott, where our reception had been thirty years earlier.
We are all Hoya fans. In fact, just a few weeks ago, I flew to Chicago to babysit our first grandson Nathan John, Sarah and Jeff's baby, all day for their annual trek to Marquette for the GU b-ball game.
Gail Gillis-Louis (C'75) and Conan Louis (SLL'73, G'78, L'86)
I was president of the Black Student Alliance in 1971, and Royden B. Davis, S.J., then dean of the College, asked me to welcome the new African American students in the Class of 1975. Gail has always claimed that she knew then that I was the one. Although I was attracted to her (cheerleaders do wear those rather short skirts), we were just very good friends for the next two years, and it wasn't until her junior year that we began dating.
When he married us in Dahlgren Chapel on May 3, 1980, our beloved Fr. Davis commenced the ceremony with the following: "This is a day for which we have been waiting for a long time." Then he turned to Gail and said, "Some of us longer than others."
We remain loyal Hoyas, having both served on the Board of Governors and on the board of Hoyas Unlimited. Our daughter, Maya, has missed few Hoya home basketball games since she was two months old! We are hoping that Maya, who is now 6'4" and a junior at St. John's College High School in D.C., will play her college volleyball on the Hilltop!
Laura Mabie (M'82) and Keith Serxner (D'82)
Laura and I were actually married at the Dental School by Joseph Sweeney, S.J. Father Sweeney declared the entire campus to be a "church" and, as his parishioners, the marriage was valid in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Dr. Taylor, the dean of the Dental School, gave us keys to the beautiful room where the board of directors met. He knew our entire wedding budget was $800 (and the Kennedys had Dahlgren Chapel booked up). The Rabbi from the Law Center also presided, and we had a wonderful ceremony attended by classmates, our professors and Dean Taylor.
Laura and I met as blind dates at a Halloween party sponsored by the medical students. In those days, the dental students essentially went to med school for two years, sharing classes with the med students. The med students threw the best parties, and since we only had four women in the dental class, we were all keen to attend.
Laura and I dated all throughout med/dent school. I graduated on a Saturday in May of 1982, we married that next Wednesday night, Laura graduated on Sunday, and we packed up to drive to Los Angeles the next day. We celebrate our May wedding date, but we always have a special dinner to celebrate Halloween, the most wonderful party we ever attended!
Mary-Alice Moore (I'84) and Chris McAleese (C'84)
In the grand tradition of Transfer Orientation Aides scoping out the new, unsuspecting students, Chris popped by our hideous room in Alban Towers because he had gone to high school with my roommate. Another transfer student caught his eye first, so he and I were simply dining hall buddies at first, because our schedules were similar. Eventually we were together all the time. I think our friends realized we were dating before we did, ha. We dated all through Georgetown (including study abroad in different countries), but broke up after graduation and re-connected at a Georgetown Club of New York alumni event two years later. We've been married 20 years and now enjoy our three wonderful boys. If there was ever a testament to the value of volunteering, Orientation Aide is it *wink*.

About Me
Born in Brazil, but half-Argentinean, Marina Maiztegui has experienced and learned a lot about both cultures and their music. Ever since she was a child, culture and music have played an important part in her life. Growing up in a home where travelling and creativity were the most important things her parents wanted her to have, inspired her to be who she is today. "My parents always said that the only things they could give me that no one could ever take away from me was travelling and the memories that would come with it, and creativity, specially musically." That was their mantra and that is what inspired her to be who she is today.
When she 9 her and her family moved to the United States, and, after a year, to France for her and her brother to learn both english and french. That was definitely a major musical important part of her life, since she experienced both the European and North American music culture. It made her grow up surrounded by all types of music, from Jazz to Opera, from hip-hop to Bossa Nova.
At the age of 11, she began taking voice lessons since her passion was quite uncommon for such a young age. She then began taking guitar lessons so that she could accompany herself and write her own music. She started participating in all the school talent shows, choir and musicals and always performed international music to represent her passion not only for music, but also for cultures. As her level began to grow exponentially, she began performing in the 2 major theaters of the city of Florianopolis, Brazil, where she lived at the time.
Her talent and passion was clear to everyone who saw her perform and she knew exactly what she wanted to do and where: Berklee, the best music college in the world and the biggest melting pot of music, her two biggest passions at the same place.
At the age of 18(2010), Marina moved to Sao Paulo on her own to study at the "Faculdade Souza Lima"(partnership college with Berklee) for financial reasons since she could not afford Berklee at the time. The school filled her mind with so much knowledge specially more towards Bossa nova and Jazz. She began taking vocal classes separately from the school with very well known teacher in São Paulo, Rafael Barreiros, who taught the speech level singing technique.
With a lot of effort and hard work, in 2011 she got accepted to Berklee, her dream school, and moved to Boston to begin her journey. "I believe that being a musician is not only about being talented, it's about being able to express yourself in your own way and connect to the world through it."
Ever since at Berklee, she has grown tremendously as a musician, composer and person and has participated in multiple concerts and events with not only other Berklee students, but also Berklee teachers. She has composed and recorded multiple songs and also has arranged compositions by other artists. Apart from influencing her growth, Berklee has given her more ambition and passion than words can express. With her determination and drive for writing, performing and helping others through music, she sees and hopes for a bright and successful future.
"All of those changes in my life have influenced my music tremendously, and made me who I have become today, musically. All that I've learned and have been through is reflected in my own music or my music interpretation. Today I can say my emotional experiences, my knowledge, and my cultural experiences are all reflected in my engagement with music."

Third TTP Bloods Gang Member Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison In Racketeering Conspiracy
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge William D. Quarles sentenced Shaneka Penix, age 22, of Dundalk, Maryland, today to 10 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release for conspiracy to conduct and participate in the activities of a racketeering enterprise known as the Tree Top Piru Bloods (TTP Bloods) and conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute crack cocaine, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and Baltimore City State's Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy. This case is the result of a long-term joint investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office and the United States Attorney's Office.
"Federal racketeering prosecutions are a powerful tool to pursue violent gangs and reduce crime," said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein.
According to the plea agreement, TTP Bloods originated from a street gang known as "the Bloods" that was formed in Los Angeles, California in the early 1970s. As time passed, the Bloods spread to other locations and broke into individual "sets." One such Bloods set based in Compton, California was called Piru Bloods. From this set emerged a subset known as Tree Top Pirus (TTP). The name derived from a group of streets in Compton named after trees.
TTP spread throughout the country, including Maryland. TTP in Maryland has its roots in a local gang which began in the Washington County Detention Center in Hagerstown, Maryland in about 1999. The gang was formed for mutual protection in response to the aggression of other inmates from Baltimore. TTP spread throughout Maryland mostly as a result of recruitment from inside Maryland prisons. Over time, a group of female gang members formed a subset of TTP known as the Tree Top Pirettes.
According to the statement of facts, as part of the conspiracy gang members of TTP would meet regularly to discuss, past acts of violence and other crimes committed by gang members against rival gang members and others; to notify one another about gang members who were arrested or incarcerated; to discuss the disciplining of TTP gang members; to discuss police interactions with gang members; to share with one another the identities of individuals who may be cooperating with law enforcement and propose actions to be taken against those individuals; to plan and agree upon the commission of future crimes, including murders, robberies, drug trafficking, and assaults, and the means to cover up these crimes; and to reinforce gang rules. TTP gang members and associates of TTP purchased, maintained and circulated a collection of firearms for use in criminal activity by TTP members. In addition, TTP gang members and associates of TTP committed acts of murder, and other acts of violence against rival gang members and imposed discipline within TTP itself, and committed violent acts on other occasions as deemed necessary.
From at least 2005 through February 2008, Penix agreed with several co-conspirators charged in the indictment to distribute crack cocaine. Specifically, on August 23 and September 4, 2007, Penix sold 28 and 50 grams of crack cocaine, respectively. The weight of drugs reasonably foreseeable to Penix from the conspiracy is greater than 150 grams of crack cocaine.
Twenty-five additional gang members have been charged in the racketeering conspiracy. Steve Willock, age 29, Van Sneed, age 32, both of Baltimore, Maryland, and Orlando Gilyard, age 21, of Woodlawn, Maryland, pleaded guilty to the RICO conspiracy. Willock was sentenced to 25 years in prison and Gilyard was sentenced to 115 months in prison. The remaining defendants' charges are pending.
United States Attorney Rosenstein and Baltimore City State's Attorney Jessamy praised the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Baltimore City Police Department, Baltimore County Police Department, Wicomico County State's Attorney Office, Wicomico County Sheriff's Office, Washington County Narcotics Task Force, Western Correctional Institution, North Branch Correctional Institution, Anne Arundel County Police Department, the Hagerstown Police Department and the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services for their investigation of this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.
Mr. Rosenstein and Mrs. Jessamy also thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Weinstein, and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Mason, a cross-designated Baltimore City Assistant State's Attorney, who are prosecuting the case and Assistant State's Attorney LaRai Forrest who assisted in the prosecution.

Monpierre loosely based her debut feature film on her own search for her parent, and Elza is an undeniably deeply heartfelt work, filled as well with a love for the sensual beauty of Guadaloupe and its people. She offers many small, telling scenes which have a feminine authenticity and emotional truth, while not stinting on the kind of colonial racism which engenders comments like Désiré's "With kinky hair like yours, you could never be my daughter."
But Monpierre has a surfeit of subplots here, ranging from the local workers' rather unconvincing uprising against Désiré, which briefly sees Caroline kidnapped, to the soap opera-like machinations of Elza's new, utterly dysfunctional family. Caroline's seedy father is, Just like Désiré, who has fathered numerous illegitimate children, Caroline's seedy dad is one horny goat; stuck with a coldly unloving wife, he puts the moves on Elza. The mordantly humorous relationship the two manage to effect actually becomes the most interesting, original part of the film.
Roumillac is appealing, but her character isn't developed enough, and she emerges as a lovely cipher. There are also too many moments which feel falsely histrionic, as when Elza leaps from her taxi, fully clothed, into the beautiful ocean upon her return to her homeland. Monpierre's control over all the disparate strains of her screenplay is also shaky, and her denouement is both flat and too pat.

Northwestern Memorial's Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute Trials Implantable Device to Manage Congestive Heart Failure Symptoms

Northwestern Memorial's Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute is one of seven programs in the country participating in new study aimed at improving the heart's pumping action and helping to manage congestive heart failure symptoms. The US PARACHUTE trial tests the effectiveness of placing a small device in the left ventricle, or main pumping chamber of the heart. Northwestern Memorial physicians recently implanted the first study participant with the device; the individual is the sixth person in the United States to undergo the procedure.
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart can't pump enough blood to the body's other organs and has a variety of causes. The US PARACHUTE trial looks at patients whose congestive heart failure was caused by a previous heart attack. Over time the increased workload of the heart can lead to a change called remodeling, which is the enlargement and thinning of the left ventricle. In time this can lead to more severe heart disease.
Many heart failure patients take a combination of drugs to treat heart failure symptoms such as shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, however they do not address remodeling which is the underlying cause. "The goal of the study is to return the ventricle to a normal shape, decrease heart failure symptoms and prevent the heart from further deterioration," said Charles J. Davidson, MD, principle investigator for the study, chief of the cardiac catheterization lab at the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute and professor of medicine at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine.
The study device, developed and manufactured by CardioKinetix of Menlo Park, California, resembles an upside down parachute, is implanted in the left ventricle using a catheter which is inserted via a tube in the participant's leg artery. This may eliminate the need for open-heart surgery and general anesthesia and may also allow for faster recovery times.
Congestive heart failure affects approximately 5.3 million people in the United States. Symptoms of heart failure diminish an individual's quality of life. "Our hope is that the device is may be able to improve each patient's quality of life and longevity," commented Dr. Davidson.
